Analysis · TIGO · Technology
A record quarter saw Adjusted EBITDA surpass $1 billion for the first time and equity free cash flow reach $327 million. Management raised full-year EFCF guidance by $200 million and lowered the leverage target, signaling confidence in the integration of recent acquisitions. The board backed that confidence with an additional $1.50 per share interim dividend, on top of the $3.00 annual dividend already approved. The results were not without blemishes — a $32 million goodwill impairment in Costa Rica and restructuring charges in Colombia — but the cash flow upgrade and shareholder return dominate the narrative.
