See the Glossary of defined terms at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements.

General

Liberty Latin America Ltd. is a registered company in Bermuda that primarily includes (i) C&W; (ii) Liberty Communications PR; (iii) LBT CT Communications, S.A. (a less than wholly-owned entity) and its subsidiaries, which include Liberty Servicios and, as of August 9, 2021 and as further described in note 4, Liberty Telecomunicaciones; and (iv) VTR. C&W owns less than 100% of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, including C&W Bahamas, C&W Jamaica and CWP.

We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide:

A.residential and B2B services in:

i.over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean through two of our reportable segments, C&W Caribbean and C&W Panama;

ii.Puerto Rico, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico;

iii.Costa Rica, through our reportable segment Liberty Costa Rica;

iv.Chile, through our reportable segment VTR; and

B.through our reportable segment C&W Networks & LatAm, (i) B2B services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale communication services over its subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect approximately 40 markets in that region.

As further described in note 8, we are accounting for the Chile JV Entities as "held for sale”. Consistent with the applicable guidance, we have not reflected reclassifications to exclude the Chile JV Entities from continuing operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows or related footnote disclosures. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we completed the formation of the Chile JV.

Unless otherwise indicated, ownership percentages are calculated as of September 30, 2022.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP or Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, expected credit losses, programming and copyright expenses, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, useful lives of long-lived assets and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Correction of Immaterial Errors

We identified certain errors in our previously reported consolidated financial statements, primarily related to revenue, programming and other direct costs of services, trade receivables, note receivables, other assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets and asset impairments. We have completed a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the errors and concluded that they are immaterial to the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding this evaluation, we have revised (i) our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet, (ii) our consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, and equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and (iii) our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for these errors. The tables below set forth the adjustments to the primary condensed consolidated financial statement line items resulting from these adjustments:

(2) Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Changes

ASU 2020-06

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which (i) reduces the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and allows more contracts to qualify for equity classification and (ii) makes targeted improvements to convertible instruments and earnings-per-share disclosure requirements. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2022-04

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (ASU 2022-04), which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose certain information about the program to allow financial statement users to understand the nature of the program, activity during the period and changes to the program from period to period. The disclosure requirements include (i) the key terms of the program, including payments terms, (ii) the amount and location in the balance sheet of obligations outstanding with the finance provider or intermediary, and (iii) a rollforward of the obligations during the annual period. With the exception of the rollforward disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The rollforward information is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2022-04 will have to the disclosures of our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates, such as the LIBOR. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (ASU 2021-01), which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are for the application of U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the rate reform. In March 2021, LIBOR’s regulator announced that certain tenors of USD LIBOR will continue to be published through June 30, 2023. We do not currently expect that the phase out of LIBOR will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(4) Acquisitions

2022 Acquisition

Claro Panama Acquisition. On September 14, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire América Móvil’s operations in Panama in an all-cash transaction based upon an enterprise value of $200 million on a cash- and debt-free basis. On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Claro Panama, which was financed through a combination of debt and existing cash.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the stated purchase price to the net cash paid (in millions):


Stated purchase price	$	200.0
Preliminary working capital adjustments	12.6
Total purchase price	212.6
Opening balance sheet cash	(1.2)
Net cash paid for the Claro Panama Acquisition	$	211.4

We have accounted for the Claro Panama Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets of Claro Panama based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The preliminary opening balance sheet is subject to adjustment based on our final assessment of the fair values of the acquired identifiable net assets and liabilities. The items with the highest likelihood to change upon finalization of the valuation process include property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, leases and income taxes. A summary of the purchase price and the preliminary opening balance sheet of Claro Panama at the July 1, 2022 acquisition date is presented in the following table (in millions):


Current assets	$	42.8
Goodwill (a)	16.5
Property and equipment	139.6
Intangible assets subject to amortization (b)	49.8
Other assets (c)	130.6
Current liabilities	(48.1)
Long-term liabilities (d)	(118.6)
Total purchase price	$	212.6

(unaudited)

(a)The goodwill recognized in connection with the Claro Panama Acquisition is primarily attributable to synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of Claro Panama with Liberty Latin America’s existing business in Panama. Due to the nature of the Claro Panama Acquisition, no tax deductions related to goodwill are expected.

(b)At July 1, 2022, the preliminary assessment of the weighted average useful life of the spectrum intangible assets was approximately 6 years.

(c)Primarily consists of operating lease right-of-use assets.

(d)Primarily consists of the non-current portion of operating lease obligations.

Our condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 include revenue and net loss of $35 million and $7 million, respectively, attributable to Claro Panama.

2021 Acquisition

Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition. On July 30, 2020, we entered into the Telefónica Acquisition Agreement to acquire Telefónica S.A.’s operations in Costa Rica in an all-cash transaction based upon an enterprise value of $500 million on a cash- and debt-free basis. On August 9, 2021, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Liberty Telecomunicaciones. The Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition was financed through a combination of debt, existing cash and a $47 million equity contribution from the noncontrolling interest owner of our Liberty Servicios entity.

During the first quarter of 2022, we finalized the purchase price for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, which resulted in a reduction in total consideration paid of $12 million. The proceeds received from the final purchase price adjustments have been reflected as an investing activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

We have accounted for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets of Liberty Telecomunicaciones based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. A summary of the purchase price and the opening balance sheet of Liberty Telecomunicaciones at the August 9, 2021 acquisition date is presented in the following table. The opening balance sheet presented below reflects our final purchase price allocation (in millions):


Current assets (a)	$	74.7
Goodwill (b)	256.7
Property and equipment	150.6
Intangible assets subject to amortization (c)	139.9
Other assets (d)	145.7
Current liabilities (e)	(74.2)
Long-term liabilities (f)	(168.3)
Total purchase price	$	525.1

(a)Primarily consists of trade receivables, notes receivables related to EIP receivables and cash.

(b)The goodwill recognized in connection with the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition is primarily attributable to (i) the ability to take advantage of Liberty Telecomunicaciones’s existing mobile network to gain immediate access to potential customers, and (ii) synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of Liberty Telecomunicaciones with Liberty Latin America’s existing business in Costa Rica, Liberty Servicios. Due to the nature of the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, no tax deductions related to goodwill are expected.

(c)At August 9, 2021, the weighted average useful lives of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets and spectrum intangible assets were approximately 7 years and 25 years, respectively.

(d)Primarily consists of operating lease right-of-use assets and the long-term portion of note receivables related to EIP receivables.

(e)Primarily consists of accounts payable and the current portion of operating lease obligations.

(5) Derivative Instruments

In general, we enter into derivative instruments to mitigate risk associated with (i) increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt and (ii) foreign currency movements, particularly with respect to borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the borrowing entity. In this regard, through our subsidiaries, we have entered into various derivative instruments to manage interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure with respect to the U.S. dollar, the CLP, the COP and the CRC. With the exception of certain foreign currency forward contracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of most of our derivative instruments are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities:


	September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
	Current (a)		Long-term (a)		Total		Current (a)		Long-term (a)		Total
	in millions

Total	$	39.7	$	0.2	$	39.9	$	39.1	$	62.1	$	101.2

(a)Our current derivative assets, long-term derivative assets, current derivative liabilities and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, net, other assets, net, other accrued and current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(b)Effective with the agreement to form the Chile JV, the derivative assets and liabilities associated with the Chile JV Entities are included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For information regarding the formation of the Chile JV and the held-for-sale presentation of the Chile JV Entities, see note 8.

(c)We consider credit risk relating to our and our counterparties’ nonperformance in the fair value assessment of our derivative instruments. In all cases, the adjustments take into account offsetting liability or asset positions within each of our primary borrowing groups (see note 9) and are recorded in realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 6.

The derivative assets set forth in the table above exclude our Weather Derivatives as they are not accounted for at fair value. The premium payments associated with our Weather Derivatives are included in other current assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Total	$	135.4	$	292.0	$	385.0	$	464.2

(a) Changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net losses of $5 million and $15 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $14 million and $44 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in these amounts are net losses of $3 million and $12 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3 million and $29 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the Chile JV Entities.

Investing activities	5.3		(2.0)
Financing activities (a)	97.6		(43.0)
Total	$	72.0	$	(154.0)

(a) The 2022 amount is primarily related to the settlement of certain cross currency swaps at VTR.

For additional information regarding our debt refinancing activity, see note 9.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups will default on their obligations to us. We manage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with our derivative instruments is spread across a relatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions. Collateral has not been posted by either party under the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups. At September 30, 2022, our exposure to counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative instruments, as set forth in the assets and liabilities table above, included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $302 million.

Each of our borrowing groups has entered into derivative instruments under agreements with each counterparty that contain master netting arrangements that are applicable in the event of early termination by either party to such derivative instrument. The master netting arrangements under each of these master agreements are limited to the derivative instruments governed by the relevant master agreement within each individual borrowing group and are independent of similar arrangements of our other subsidiary borrowing groups.

Details of our Derivative Instruments

Cross-currency Derivative Contracts

As noted above, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to service, repay or refinance such debt. Although we generally seek to match the denomination of our borrowings with the functional currency of the operations that are supporting the respective borrowings, market conditions or other factors may cause us to enter into borrowing arrangements that are not denominated in the functional currency of the underlying operations (unmatched debt). Our policy is generally to provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements, whenever possible and when cost effective to do so, by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. At September 30, 2022, not including derivative instruments held by the Chile JV Entities, we did not have any cross-currency swap contracts outstanding.

Interest Rate Derivative Contracts

Interest Rate Swaps

As noted above, we enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate risk associated with increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Pursuant to these derivative instruments, we typically pay fixed interest rates and receive variable interest rates on specified notional amounts. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our interest rate swap contracts at September 30, 2022:


Borrowing group	Notional amount due from counterparty		Weighted average remaining life
	in millions		in years

C&W (a)	$	2,690.0	4.6

Liberty Puerto Rico	$	500.0	6.0

Liberty Costa Rica (b)	$	276.7	1.3

(a)Includes forward-starting derivative instruments and, on certain interest rate swaps, an embedded floor of 0%.

(b)Includes an embedded floor of 0.75%.

Basis Swaps

Basis swaps involve the exchange of attributes used to calculate our floating interest rates, including (i) the benchmark rate, (ii) the underlying currency and/or (iii) the borrowing period. We typically enter into these swaps to optimize our interest rate profile based on our current evaluations of yield curves, our risk management policies and other factors. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our basis swap contracts at September 30, 2022:


Borrowing group	Notional amount due from counterparty		Weighted average remaining life
	in millions		in years

C&W	$	2,100.0	0.8

Liberty Puerto Rico	$	620.0	0.8

Interest Rate Floors

Interest rate floors provide protection against interest rates falling below a pre-set level. At September 30, 2022, our Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing group had an interest rate floor with a total notional amount of $620 million and a remaining contractual life of 6.0 years.

Interest Rate Caps

Interest rate caps provide protection against interest rates rising above a pre-set level. At September 30, 2022, our Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing group had interest rate caps with total notional amounts of $120 million and a remaining weighted average contractual life of 6.0 years.

Foreign Currency Forwards Contracts

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our foreign currency forwards contracts at September 30, 2022:


	Notional amount due from counterparty		Notional amount due to counterparty		Weighted average remaining life

(a)Represents a foreign currency forward contract entered into in connection with the Chile JV transaction that was closed subsequent to September 30, 2022, as discussed further in note 8.

(6) Fair Value Measurements

General

We use the fair value method to account for most of our derivative instruments. The reported fair values of our derivative instruments likely will not represent the value that will be paid or received upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assets and liabilities, as we expect that the values realized generally will be based on market conditions at the time of settlement, which generally occurs at the maturity of the derivative instrument or at the time of the repayment or refinancing of the underlying debt instrument.

U.S. GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives

In order to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk, we have entered into various derivative instruments, as further described in note 5. The recurring fair value measurements of these derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow models. Most of the inputs to these discounted cash flow models consist of, or are derived from, observable Level 2 data for substantially the full term of these derivative instruments. This observable data mostly includes interest rate futures and swap rates, which are retrieved or derived from available market data. Although we may extrapolate or interpolate this data, we do not otherwise alter this data in performing our valuations. We incorporate a

credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair value measurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Our and our counterparties’ credit spreads represent our most significant Level 3 inputs, and these inputs are used to derive the credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to these instruments. As we would not expect changes in our or our counterparties’ credit spreads to have a significant impact on the valuations of these instruments, we have determined that these valuations fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to our interest rate and cross-currency derivative contracts are quantified and further explained in note 5.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements may also be used for purposes of non-recurring valuations performed in connection with our acquisition accounting and impairment assessments.

Acquisition Accounting

The nonrecurring valuations associated with acquisition accounting, which use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, primarily include the valuation of property and equipment, customer relationships and spectrum intangible assets, as further described below:

•Property and equipment. The valuation of property and equipment may use either an indirect cost approach, which utilizes trends based on historical cost information, or a combination of indirect cost approach, market approach and direct replacement cost method, which considers factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence.

•Customer relationships. The valuation of customer relationships is primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is a form of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodology for customer relationship intangible assets requires us to estimate the specific cash flows expected from the acquired customer relationships, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenue expected to be generated over the life of the customer relationships, contributory asset charges and other factors.

•Spectrum intangible assets. The valuation of spectrum intangible assets may use either an adjusted market-based approach, which requires the calibration of observable market inputs to reflect the fair value of the assets acquired, or a combination of an adjusted market-based approach with other methods, such as an income-based approach (e.g. the “greenfield” valuation method), which requires a wide range of assumptions and inputs, including forecasting costs associated with building a complementary asset base.

During the third quarter of 2022, we performed certain nonrecurring valuations related to the preliminary acquisition accounting for the Claro Panama Acquisition. For information related to the status of valuation work associated with assets acquired in connection with the Claro Panama Acquisition, see note 4.

During the second quarter of 2022, we finalized our acquisition accounting for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, which did not result in any material changes to our opening balance sheet. For additional information relating to the opening balance sheet associated with the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, see note 4.

Impairment Assessments

The nonrecurring valuations associated with impairment assessments, which use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, primarily include the valuation of reporting units for the purpose of testing for goodwill impairment. Unless a reporting unit has a readily determinable fair value, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using either a market-based or income-based approach.

Goodwill

During the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to significant increases in interest rates, we performed goodwill impairment analyses of all of our reporting units. We used an income approach to determine the estimated fair values of these reporting units. Under this approach, we utilized a discounted cash flow model as the valuation technique to estimate the fair values of the reporting units from a market participant’s perspective. This approach uses certain inputs and assumptions that

Liberty Latin America Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

September 30, 2022

(unaudited)

require estimates and judgments, including forecasted cash flows and an appropriate discount rate. Forecasts of future cash flows are largely based on our assumptions using Level 3 inputs, which we consider to be consistent with a market participant’s approach. We used the weighted-average cost of capital for each reporting unit as the basis for the discount rate to establish the present value of the expected cash flows for the respective reporting unit. The inputs for our weighted average cost of capital calculations include Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, generally derived from third-party pricing services. We used discount rates ranging from 7% to 15% in the valuation of the various reporting units. Based upon the results of the aforementioned analysis, we recognized impairment charges associated with certain reporting units of our C&W Caribbean segment. For additional information regarding goodwill impairment charges resulting from these impairment analyses, see note 7.

Other

During the third quarter of 2021, we recorded a $41 million impairment charge in connection with an impairment assessment of a cost basis investment.

(7) Long-lived Assets

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of our goodwill are set forth below:


	January 1, 2022		Acquisitions and related adjustments		Foreign currency translation adjustments and other		Impairment		September 30, 2022
	in millions

C&W Caribbean	$	1,787.0	$	(11.5)	$	5.0	$	(555.3)	$	1,225.2
C&W Panama	617.1		16.5		—		—		633.6
C&W Networks & LatAm	646.9		11.5		(3.0)		—		655.4
Liberty Puerto Rico	498.3		0.4		—		—		498.7
Liberty Costa Rica	398.7		(3.8)		8.8		—		403.7
Total	$	3,948.0	$	13.1	$	10.8	$	(555.3)	$	3,416.6

During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a $555 million impairment of goodwill within certain reporting units of our C&W Caribbean segment. This impairment was driven primarily by macroeconomic factors, including higher interest rates, that drove an increase in the discount rates used to value these reporting units. After recording these impairments, the associated reporting units have $496 million of goodwill remaining at September 30, 2022. If, among other factors, (i) our equity values were to decline significantly, (ii) we experienced additional adverse impacts associated with macroeconomic factors, including increases in our estimated weighted average cost of capital, or (iii) the adverse impacts stemming from competition, economic, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than currently anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that additional impairment charges of certain reporting units are required in order to reduce the carrying values of goodwill. Any such impairment charges could be significant.

Our accumulated goodwill impairments were $2,784 million and $2,229 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2022, we changed our annual goodwill impairment testing date from October 1 to July 1 of each year. This change did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(8) Assets Held for Sale

On September 29, 2021, we entered into an agreement with América Móvil to contribute the Chile JV Entities to América Móvil’s Chilean operations to form the Chile JV that will be owned 50:50 by Liberty Latin America and América Móvil. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we completed the formation of the Chile JV.

During October 2022, and in connection with the closing on the formation of the Chile JV, we made a balancing payment to América Móvil totaling $76 million. The transaction did not trigger a change of control under VTR’s debt agreements, and was not subject to Liberty Latin America or América Móvil shareholder approvals. Beginning in October 2022, we will account for our 50% interest in the Chile JV as an equity method investment.

Effective with the agreement to form the Chile JV, we began accounting for the Chile JV Entities as held for sale. Accordingly, we ceased to depreciate the long-lived assets and amortization of the right of use assets of the Chile JV Entities. We have not presented the Chile JV Entities as a discontinued operation, as this transaction does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our financial results or operations. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities that are classified as held for sale are summarized below:


	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

(11) Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

We enter into certain long-term capacity contracts with customers where the customer either pays a fixed fee over time or prepays for the capacity upfront and pays a portion related to operating and maintenance of the network over time. We assess whether prepaid capacity contracts contain a significant financing component. If the financing component is significant, interest expense is accreted over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. The revenue associated with prepaid capacity contracts is deferred and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. As of September 30, 2022, we have approximately $325 million of unfulfilled performance obligations relating to our long-term capacity contracts, primarily subsea contracts, that generally will be recognized as revenue over an average remaining life of 5 years.

(14) Income Taxes

We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. For interim tax reporting, we estimate an annual effective tax rate that is applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss. The tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

Our interim estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our interim tax provision are subject to volatility due to factors such as jurisdictions in which our deferred taxes and/or tax attributes are subject to a full valuation allowance, relative changes in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in tax laws. Based upon the mix and timing of our actual annual earnings or loss compared to annual projections, as well as changes in the factors noted above, our effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make quarterly comparisons not meaningful.

Income tax expense was $39 million and $40 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $102 million and $111 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This represents an effective income tax rate of (32.1%) and (35.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 43.4% and (39.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including items treated discretely.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the income tax expense attributable to our earnings (loss) before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the detrimental effects of non-deductible goodwill impairment, negative effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses, tax effect of the enactment of a Barbados Pandemic Contribution Levy, and inclusion of withholding taxes on cross-border payments. These negative impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the beneficial effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income and net decreases in valuation allowances. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, income tax expense reflects the detrimental effects of international rate differences and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, income tax expense reflects the beneficial effects of international rate differences.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the income tax expense attributable to our earnings before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to detrimental effects of international rate differences, net increases in valuation allowances, negative effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses, and inclusion of withholding taxes on cross-border payments. These negative impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the beneficial effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, income tax expense reflects net favorable changes in uncertain tax positions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, income tax expense reflects net unfavorable changes in uncertain tax positions.

(15) Earnings or Loss Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders by the weighted average number of Liberty Latin America Shares outstanding during the periods presented, as further described below. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented.

The details of our weighted average shares outstanding are set forth below:


	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2022	2021	2022	2021
Weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic	220,186,543	232,801,996	224,414,274	233,059,215
Diluted	240,551,950	253,429,864	224,414,274	233,871,985

The details of the calculations of our basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are set forth below (in millions, except for share amounts):


	Three months ended September 30, 2022		Three months ended September 30, 2021		Nine months ended September 30, 2021


Numerator:
Net earnings attributable to holders of Liberty Latin America Shares (basic EPS computation)	$	84.1	$	76.1	$	174.0

Net earnings attributable to holders of Liberty Latin America Shares (basic and diluted EPS computation)	$	90.4	$	82.1	$	174.0
Denominator:
Weighted average shares (basic EPS computation)	220,186,543		232,801,996		233,059,215
Incremental shares attributable to an employee stock purchase plan and the release of PSUs and RSUs upon vesting (treasury stock method)	871,728		1,134,189		812,770
Number of shares issuable under our Convertible Notes (if-converted method) (a)	19,493,679		19,493,679		—
Weighted average shares (diluted EPS computation) (b)	240,551,950		253,429,864		233,871,985

(a)With regards to the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes, the Capped Calls provide an economic hedge to reduce or offset potential dilution to our Class C common shares upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

(b)For the 2022 period, we have excluded (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs, and RSUs of 35.1 million, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSARs of 8.5 million, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation. For the 2021 periods, we have excluded (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs, and RSUs of 19.9 million, (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSARs and PSUs of 8.2 million and (iii) for the nine-month period, using the if-converted method, the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes of 19.5 million, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation or, in the case of certain PSUs and PSARs, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria.

We reported a net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The potentially dilutive effect at September 30, 2022 of the following items was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for such period because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation: (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs and RSUs of 35.8 million, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSUs and PSARs of 8.7 million and (iii) using the if-converted method, the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes of 19.5 million.

(16) Equity

Share Repurchase Programs

On March 16, 2020, our Directors approved the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, which authorized us to repurchase from time to time up to $100 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares through March 2022, subject to certain limitations and conditions. On February 22, 2022, our Directors approved the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. This program authorizes us to repurchase from time to time up to an additional $200 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares through December 2024. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any of our Class A or C common shares. Under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase our common shares in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, derivative transactions and/or through other legally permissible means.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,653,800 and 14,281,000 Class A and Class C common shares, respectively, under the Share Repurchase Programs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 2,169,700 Class A common shares. At September 30, 2022, the remaining amount authorized for share repurchases under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program was $74 million.

Contribution from noncontrolling interest owners

During the third quarter of 2021, we received an equity contribution of $47 million from the noncontrolling interest owner of our Liberty Servicios entity, the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition. This contribution represented their pro-rata share of the equity portion of the purchase price for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, and has been reflected as a contribution from noncontrolling interest owners in our condensed consolidated statements of equity and as a financing activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

(17) Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Other Credit Enhancements

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/or financial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making any material payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other Contingencies

VTR Class Action. On August 25, 2020, VTR was notified that SERNAC had filed a class action complaint against VTR in the 14th Civil Court of Santiago. The complaint relates to consumer complaints regarding VTR’s broadband service and capacity during the pandemic and raises claims regarding, among other things, VTR’s disclosure of its broadband speeds and aggregate capacity availability and VTR’s response to address the causes of service instability during the pandemic. We believe that the allegations are without merit, in particular as it relates to VTR’s service and response during the pandemic. See note 8 regarding the closing of the Chile JV subsequent to September 30, 2022.

Regulatory Issues. We have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legal proceedings, (ii) issues involving wage, property, withholding and other tax issues and (iii) disputes over interconnection, programming and copyright fees. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy these contingencies will not materially differ from any estimated amounts we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of

Liberty Latin America Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

(unaudited)

these contingencies will not result in a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given period. Due, in general, to the complexity of the issues involved and, in certain cases, the lack of a clear basis for predicting outcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from any unfavorable outcomes.

(18) Segment Reporting

Our reportable segments derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B services, including video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile services. Our corporate category includes our corporate operations, which derive revenue from mobile handset insurance services. We generally identify our reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of our revenue, Adjusted OIBDA or total assets.

During the third quarter of 2022, we completed an organizational change with respect to our C&W operations whereby management of certain subsidiaries of C&W, which primarily operate our subsea and fiber optic cable networks, now report directly to the Senior Vice President, Infrastructure and Corporate Strategy of Liberty Latin America and no longer report to the former C&W Caribbean and Networks segment decision maker. As a result, the aforementioned subsidiaries of C&W are now a separate operating and reportable segment, herein referred to as the C&W Networks & LatAm segment. In connection with this change, we have revised our segment presentation for all periods to separately present (i) C&W Caribbean and (ii) C&W Networks & LatAm. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, our reportable segments are as follows:

•C&W Caribbean;

•C&W Panama;

•C&W Networks & LatAm;

•Liberty Puerto Rico;

•Liberty Costa Rica; and

•VTR.

Performance Measures of our Reportable Segments

We evaluate performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our reportable segments based on financial measures, such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. In addition, we review non-financial measures, such as subscriber growth. We account for intersegment sales as if they were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to (i) determine how to allocate resources to segments and (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of our management for purposes of incentive compensation plans. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. A reconciliation of total Adjusted OIBDA to operating income or loss and to earnings or loss before income taxes is presented below.

The amounts presented below represent 100% of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of each of our reportable segments and our corporate operations. As we have the ability to control certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of (a) C&W and (b) Liberty Puerto Rico, and (ii) Liberty Costa Rica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

Overview

General

We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide,

A.residential and B2B services in:

i.over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean through two of our reportable segments, C&W Caribbean and C&W Panama;

ii.Puerto Rico, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico;

iii.Costa Rica, through our reportable segment Liberty Costa Rica;

iv.Chile, through our reportable segment VTR; and

B.through our reportable segment C&W Networks & LatAm (as further described below), (i) B2B services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale communication services over its subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect approximately 40 markets in that region.

At September 30, 2022, we (i) owned and operated fixed networks that passed 8,588,600 homes and served 6,422,800 RGUs, comprising 2,889,600 broadband internet subscribers, 1,934,900 video subscribers and 1,598,300 fixed-line telephony subscribers, and (ii) served 8,376,900 mobile subscribers.

During the third quarter of 2022, we completed an organizational change with respect to our C&W operations whereby management of certain subsidiaries of C&W, which primarily operate our subsea and fiber optic cable networks, now report directly to the Senior Vice President, Infrastructure and Corporate Strategy of Liberty Latin America and no longer report to the former C&W Caribbean and Networks segment decision maker. As a result, the aforementioned subsidiaries of C&W are now a separate operating and reportable segment, herein referred to as the C&W Networks & LatAm segment. In connection with this change, we have restated our segment presentation for all periods to separately present (i) C&W Caribbean and (ii) C&W Networks & LatAm.

Transactions

Chile JV. On September 29, 2021, we entered into an agreement with América Móvil to contribute the Chile JV Entities to América Móvil’s Chilean operations to form the Chile JV that will be owned 50:50 by Liberty Latin America and América Móvil. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we completed the formation of the Chile JV. During October 2022, and in connection with this transaction, we made a balancing payment to América Móvil totaling $76 million. The transaction did not trigger a change of control under VTR’s debt agreements, and was not subject to Liberty Latin America or América Móvil shareholder approvals. Beginning in October, we will account for our 50% interest in the Chile JV as an equity method investment.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

The comparability of our operating results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is affected by acquisitions and FX effects. As we use the term, “organic” changes exclude FX and the impacts of acquisitions, each as further discussed below.

In the following discussion, we quantify the estimated impact on the operating results of the periods under comparison that is attributable to acquisitions. We acquired (i) Telefónica’s operations in Costa Rica during August 2021, (ii) 96% of Broadband VI, LLC’s operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands effective December 2021 and (iii) América Móvil’s operations in Panama during July 2022. With respect to acquisitions, organic changes and the calculations of our organic change percentages exclude the estimated operating results of an acquired entity during the first 12 months following the date of acquisition.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant impact on our operating results, as VTR, Liberty Costa Rica and certain entities within C&W have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Through September 30, 2022, our primary FX exchange risk relates to the Chilean peso. For example, the average FX rate (utilized to translate our condensed consolidated statements of operations) for the U.S. dollar per one Chilean peso appreciated by 20% and 17% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. The impacts to the various components of our results of operations that are attributable to changes in FX are highlighted below. For information concerning our foreign currency risks and applicable foreign currency exchange rates, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Foreign Currency Rates below.

The amounts presented and discussed below represent 100% of the revenue and expenses of each reportable segment and our corporate operations. As we have the ability to control certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of (a) C&W and (b) Liberty Puerto Rico, and (ii) Liberty Costa Rica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to certain costs and foreign currency exchange risk with respect to costs and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of our reportable segments. Any cost increases that we are not able to pass on to our customers would result in increased pressure on our operating margins.

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA

On a consolidated basis, Adjusted OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to determine how to allocate resources to segments. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. We believe our Adjusted OIBDA measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income or loss.

A reconciliation of total operating income (loss), the nearest U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted OIBDA on a consolidated basis, is presented below.

Adjusted OIBDA Margin

The following table sets forth the Adjusted OIBDA margin (Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue) of each of our reportable segments:


	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2022	2021	2022	2021
	%

C&W Caribbean	37.0	34.4	37.1	34.6
C&W Panama	27.1	35.8	29.8	34.9
C&W Networks & LatAm	57.3	58.2	60.2	60.3
Liberty Puerto Rico	35.8	39.0	38.1	41.3
Liberty Costa Rica	30.0	30.8	30.4	33.8
VTR	24.0	33.7	25.7	33.3

Adjusted OIBDA margin is impacted by organic changes in revenue, programming and other direct costs of services and other operating costs and expenses, as further discussed below. The decrease in Adjusted OIBDA margin for C&W Panama is due in part from the inclusion of Claro Panama operations following the Claro Panama Acquisition, which generates a lower Adjusted OIBDA margin compared to legacy operations. The decrease in the Adjusted OIBDA margin for VTR is primarily related to a decline in revenue, RGUs and ARPU resulting from significant competition in Chile, as further discussed below. Additionally, we incurred in aggregate $8 million and $19 million of integration costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, in our Liberty Puerto Rico, Liberty Costa Rica and C&W Panama segments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $3 million and $6 million, respectively, in our Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Costa Rica segments.

Revenue

All of our segments derive their revenue primarily from (i) residential fixed services, including video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony, (ii) residential mobile services and (iii) B2B services. C&W Networks & LatAm also provides wholesale communication services over its subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks.

While not specifically discussed in the below explanations of the changes in revenue, we are experiencing significant competition in all of our markets. This competition has an adverse impact on our ability to increase or maintain our RGUs and/or ARPU.

Variances in the subscription revenue that we receive from our customers are a function of (i) changes in the number of RGUs or mobile subscribers during the period and (ii) changes in ARPU. Changes in ARPU can be attributable to (i) changes in prices, (ii) changes in bundling or promotional discounts, (iii) changes in the tier of services selected, (iv) variances in subscriber usage patterns and (v) the overall mix of fixed and mobile products during the period. In the following discussion, we discuss ARPU changes in terms of the net impact of the above factors on the ARPU that is derived from our video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile products.

The following tables set forth the organic and non-organic changes in revenue by reportable segment for the periods indicated.

(a)The decreases are primarily attributable to lower average broadband internet and video RGUs.

(b)The decreases are primarily due to lower ARPU from broadband internet services, mainly associated with (i) increased competition that generally resulted in (a) the churn of higher-ARPU customers and (b) the addition of lower-ARPU customers, and (ii) strategic initiatives implemented during the first quarter of 2022. Higher discounts and lower-ARPU customers related to video and telephony services also contributed to the decline in ARPU.

(c)The decreases are primarily due to (i) lower ARPU from mobile services, mainly associated with strategic initiatives implemented during the first quarter of 2022, and (ii) for the nine-month comparison, lower average numbers of mobile subscribers.

Programming and other direct costs of services

Programming and other direct costs of services include programming and copyright costs, interconnect and access costs, equipment costs, which primarily relate to costs of mobile handsets and other devices, and other direct costs related to our operations. Programming and copyright costs, which represent a significant portion of our operating costs, may increase in future periods as a result of (i) higher costs associated with the expansion of our digital video content, including rights associated with ancillary product offerings and rights that provide for the broadcast of live sporting events, (ii) rate increases or (iii) growth in the number of our video subscribers.

•Personnel and contract labor: The organic increases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher salaries and other personnel costs, including the impact of higher amortization of deferred commissions in connection with the AT&T Acquisition, and (ii) lower bonus-related expenses.

•Network-related: The organic increases, and in particular the increase for the three-month comparison, are primarily due to incremental expenses incurred in operating the network as a result of the impacts from Hurricane Fiona, and increases in network-related integration costs associated with the AT&T Acquisition. For the nine-month comparison, the increase was further impacted by a decline associated with the termination of the transition services agreement entered into with AT&T associated with network maintenance and licenses.

•Service-related: The organic increase during the nine-month comparison is primarily due to higher costs associated with (i) charges allocated from our Corporate operations and (ii) software licenses. Service-related integration costs associated with the AT&T Acquisition remained relatively flat during each of the three and nine-month comparisons, but are expected to grow in future periods.

•Facility, provision, franchise and other: The organic increases for both the three and nine-month comparisons were impacted by increases related to (i) a reassessment of an accrual associated with certain services being provided under a transaction service agreement and (ii) utility costs. The increase for the nine-month comparison is further impacted by the net effect of (i) a decrease in bad debt expense resulting from lower expected credit loss rates established during the second quarter of 2022, (ii) an increase in rent expense, driven by purchase accounting adjustments associated with the AT&T Acquisition that were recorded during the second quarter of 2021, and (iii) a decrease resulting from a payment made during the second quarter of 2021 to settle certain 2011 property tax claims.

•Network-related: The organic increases are primarily due to higher maintenance-related costs.

•Service-related: The organic increases are primarily due to higher information technology-related project costs.

•Commercial: The organic increases are primarily due to higher third-party sales commission costs.

•Facility, provision, franchise and other costs: The organic increases are primarily due to higher bad debt provisions.

•Included in the increases from an acquisition in the tables above, are significant integration-related costs associated with the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, which we expect will continue to grow during the remainder of 2022.

VTR. The following tables set forth the organic and non-organic changes in other operating costs and expenses for our VTR segment for the periods indicated.

•Personnel and contract labor: The organic increases are primarily due to higher salaries and other personnel costs due to the effect of inflation. For the nine-month comparison, this increase is partially offset by lower bonus-related expenses.

•Commercial: The organic decreases are due to the net effect of (i) lower sales commissions and (ii) lower call center activity. For the nine-month comparison, the decrease is partially offset by higher marketing and advertising costs, primarily related to a commitment to sponsor a music festival that was postponed during each of the past two years due to COVID-19.

•Facility, provision, franchise and other costs: The organic decreases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower operating lease rent expense as a result of ceasing the amortization of our right of use assets in connection with held for sale accounting of the Chile JV Entities, as further described in note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and (ii) higher bad debt provisions.

Corporate. The following tables set forth the organic changes in other operating costs and expenses for our corporate operations for the periods indicated.

•Personnel and contract labor: The organic increases are primarily attributable to higher salaries and other personnel costs, mainly resulting from higher staffing levels in our operations in Panama.

•Facility, provision, franchise and other: The organic increases are primarily due to an increase in travel-related costs.

Results of Operations (below Adjusted OIBDA)

Depreciation and amortization

Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $18 million or 7% and $75 million or 10% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2021, primarily due to the net effect of (i) declines of $41 million and $138 million, respectively, at VTR as we ceased recording depreciation expense during the third quarter of 2021 when we began accounting for the Chile JV Entities as held for sale, (ii) increases at Liberty Costa Rica and C&W Panama resulting from the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition and the Claro Panama Acquisition, respectively, and (iii) increases in property and equipment additions, mainly at Liberty Puerto Rico.

Impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net

The details of our impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, are as follows:

Total	$	7.0	$	22.1	$	583.4	$	41.3

(a)The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consists of goodwill impairment charges associated with certain reporting units within the C&W Caribbean segment. For additional information, see note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(b)The 2022 amounts primarily includes direct acquisition costs. The 2021 amounts primarily include direct acquisition costs related to the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition and, for the nine-month period, a gain on the disposition of certain B2B operations in our Liberty Puerto Rico segment that was completed in January 2021.

Interest expense

Our interest expense increased $12 million and $19 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2021. The increases are primarily attributable to (i) higher weighted-average interest rates and (ii) higher average outstanding debt balances.

For additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

It is possible that the interest rates on (i) any new borrowings could be higher than the current interest rates on our existing indebtedness and (ii) our variable-rate indebtedness could increase in future periods. As further discussed in note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risks.

Realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net

Our realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments primarily include (i) unrealized changes in the fair values of our derivative instruments that are non-cash in nature until such time as the derivative contracts are fully or partially settled and (ii) realized gains or losses upon the full or partial settlement of the derivative contracts. The details of our realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments, net, are as follows:

Total	$	135.4	$	292.0	$	385.0	$	464.2

(a)The gains during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) changes in interest rates and (ii) changes in FX rates, predominantly due to changes in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar. These amounts include net losses associated with changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments of $5 million and $15 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $14 million and $44 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in the credit risk valuation adjustments are net losses of $3 million and $12 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3 million and $29 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the Chile JV Entities.

(b)Amounts represent the amortization of premiums associated with our Weather Derivatives.

For additional information concerning our derivative instruments, see notes 5 and 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk below.

Foreign currency transaction gains or losses, net

Our foreign currency transaction gains or losses primarily result from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the underlying functional currency of the applicable entity. Unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses are computed based on period-end exchange rates and are non-cash in nature until such time as the amounts are settled. The details of our foreign currency transaction losses, net, are as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Total	$	(56.5)	$	(136.2)	$	(221.9)	$	(206.0)

(a) Primarily includes (i) third-party receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency, (ii) U.S. dollar-denominated debt issued by a CRC functional currency entity and (iii) cash denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency.

Gains or losses on debt modification and extinguishment, net

Our gains or losses on debt modification and extinguishment generally include (i) premiums or discounts associated with redemptions and/or repurchases of debt, (ii) the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and/or discounts and/or (iii) breakage fees.

We recognized gains (losses) on debt extinguishment of $41 million during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and ($2 million) and ($25 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The gains during 2022 are associated with the buyback of certain VTR debt at fair value. The losses during 2021 are primarily associated with refinancing activity at Liberty Puerto Rico and VTR.

For additional information concerning our gains and losses on debt extinguishment, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other income or expense, net

Our other income or expense, net, generally includes (i) certain amounts associated with our defined benefit plans, including interest expense and expected return on plan assets, (ii) interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and (iii) share of affiliate income or loss. Other income or expense was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We had other expense of $41 million and $42 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which primarily relates to an impairment associated with a cost method investment.

Income tax expense

We recognized income tax expense of $39 million and $102 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $40 million and $111 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

For additional information regarding our income taxes, see note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net earnings or loss

The following table sets forth selected summary financial information of our net earnings (loss):


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	in millions

Operating income (loss)	$	152.9	$	136.0	$	(15.4)	$	485.0
Net non-operating expenses	$	(31.0)	$	(24.3)	$	(218.6)	$	(206.3)
Income tax expense	$	(39.1)	$	(39.8)	$	(101.6)	$	(110.7)
Net earnings (loss)	$	82.8	$	71.9	$	(335.6)	$	168.0

Gains or losses associated with (i) changes in the fair values of derivative instruments and (ii) movements in foreign currency exchange rates are subject to a high degree of volatility and, as such, any gains from these sources do not represent a reliable source of income. In the absence of significant gains in the future from these sources or from other non-operating items, our ability to achieve earnings is largely dependent on our ability to increase our aggregate Adjusted OIBDA to a level that more than offsets the aggregate amount of our (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) impairment, restructuring and other operating items, (iv) interest expense, (v) other non-operating expenses and (vi) income tax expenses.

Due largely to the fact that we seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns, as discussed under Material Changes in Financial Condition—Capitalization below, we expect that we will continue to report significant levels of interest expense for the foreseeable future.

Net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests

We reported net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1 million and $25 million during three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $4 million and $6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

Sources and Uses of Cash

Subsequent to the closing of the Chile JV as further described in note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we have three primary “borrowing groups,” which include the respective restricted parent and subsidiary entities of C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Costa Rica. Our borrowing groups, which typically generate cash from operating activities, held a significant portion of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2022. Our ability to access the liquidity of these and other subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests, foreign currency exchange restrictions with respect to certain C&W subsidiaries and other factors. For details of the restrictions on our subsidiaries to make payments to us through dividends, loans or other distributions see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

The details of the U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2022 are set forth in the following table (in millions):


Cash and cash equivalents held by:
Liberty Latin America and unrestricted subsidiaries:
Liberty Latin America (a)	$	17.6
Unrestricted subsidiaries (b)	168.3
Total Liberty Latin America and unrestricted subsidiaries	185.9
Borrowing groups (c):
C&W	458.3
Liberty Puerto Rico	118.2
Liberty Costa Rica	6.8
Total borrowing groups	583.3
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	769.2

(a)Represents the amount held by Liberty Latin America on a standalone basis.

(b)Represents the aggregate amount held by subsidiaries of Liberty Latin America that are outside of our borrowing groups. All of these companies rely on funds provided by our borrowing groups to satisfy their liquidity needs.

(c)Represents the aggregate amounts held by the parent entity of the applicable borrowing group and their restricted subsidiaries.

Liquidity and capital resources of Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries

Our current sources of corporate liquidity include (i) cash and cash equivalents held by Liberty Latin America and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, Liberty Latin America’s unrestricted subsidiaries, and (ii) interest and dividend income received on our and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, our unrestricted subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents and investments. From time to time, Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries may also receive (i) proceeds in the form of distributions or loan repayments from Liberty Latin America’s borrowing groups upon (a) the completion of recapitalizations, refinancings, asset sales or similar transactions by these entities or (b) the accumulation of excess cash from operations or other means, (ii) proceeds upon the disposition of investments and other assets of Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries and (iii) proceeds in connection with the incurrence of debt by Liberty Latin America or its unrestricted subsidiaries or the issuance of equity securities by Liberty Latin America. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to Liberty Latin America or its unrestricted subsidiaries on favorable terms, or at all. As noted above, various factors may limit our ability to access the cash of our borrowing groups.

Our corporate liquidity requirements include (i) corporate general and administrative expenses and (ii) other liquidity needs that may arise from time to time. In addition, Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries may require cash in connection with (i) the repayment of third-party and intercompany debt, (ii) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities, (iii) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (iv) the repurchase of debt securities, (v) tax payments or (vi) any funding requirements of our consolidated subsidiaries.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of our share repurchases was $34 million. For additional information regarding our Share Repurchase Programs, see note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Part II—Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds below.

Liquidity and capital resources of borrowing groups

The cash and cash equivalents of our borrowing groups are detailed in the table above. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the primary sources of liquidity of our borrowing groups are cash provided by operations and borrowing availability under their respective debt instruments. For the details of the borrowing availability of our borrowing groups at September 30, 2022, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned sources of liquidity may be supplemented in certain cases by contributions and/or loans from Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries. The liquidity of our borrowing groups generally is used to fund capital expenditures, debt service requirements and

income tax payments. From time to time, our borrowing groups may also require liquidity in connection with (i) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (ii) loans to Liberty Latin America, (iii) capital distributions to Liberty Latin America and other equity owners or (iv) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to our borrowing groups on favorable terms, or at all.

For additional information regarding our cash flows, see the discussion under Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.

Capitalization

We seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns without assuming undue risk. When it is cost effective, we generally seek to match the denomination of the borrowings of our subsidiaries with the functional currency of the operations that support the respective borrowings. As further discussed under Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and in note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we also use derivative instruments to mitigate foreign currency and interest rate risks associated with our debt instruments.

Our ability to service or refinance our debt and to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in the credit agreements of our borrowing groups is dependent primarily on our ability to maintain covenant EBITDA of our operating subsidiaries, as specified by our subsidiaries’ debt agreements (Covenant EBITDA), and to achieve adequate returns on our property and equipment additions and acquisitions. In addition, our ability to obtain additional debt financing is limited by incurrence-based and/or maintenance-based leverage covenants contained in the various debt instruments of our borrowing groups. For example, if the Covenant EBITDA of one of our borrowing groups were to decline, our ability to support or obtain additional debt in that borrowing group could be limited. No assurance can be given that we would have sufficient sources of liquidity, or that any external funding would be available on favorable terms, or at all, to fund any such required repayment. At September 30, 2022, each of our borrowing groups was in compliance with its debt covenants. We do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance with respect to the debt covenants of our borrowing groups that would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months.

At September 30, 2022, the outstanding principal amount of our debt, together with our finance lease obligations, excluding VTR, aggregated $7,954 million, including $208 million that is classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and $6,881 million that is not due until 2027 or thereafter. At September 30, 2022, $7,549 million of our debt and finance lease obligations have been borrowed or incurred by our subsidiaries. Included in the outstanding principal amount of our debt at September 30, 2022 is $196 million of vendor financing, which we use to finance certain of our operating expenses and property and equipment additions. These obligations are generally due within one year, other than for certain licensing arrangements that generally are due over the term of the related license. For additional information concerning our debt, including our debt maturities, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The weighted average interest rate in effect at September 30, 2022 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin, was 5.8%. The interest rate is based on stated rates and does not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. The weighted average impact of the derivative instruments, excluding forward-starting derivative instruments, on our borrowing costs at September 30, 2022 was as follows:


Borrowing group	Decrease to borrowing costs

C&W	(0.60)	%
Liberty Puerto Rico	(0.13)	%
Liberty Costa Rica	(0.62)	%
Liberty Latin America borrowing groups combined	(0.42)	%

Including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts, including the discount on the Convertible Notes associated with the instrument’s conversion option, and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs, the weighted average interest rate on our indebtedness was 5.6% at September 30, 2022.

We believe that we have sufficient resources to repay or refinance the current portion of our debt and finance lease obligations and to fund our foreseeable liquidity requirements during the next 12 months. However, as our debt maturities grow in later years, we anticipate that we will seek to refinance or otherwise extend our debt maturities. No assurance can be given

that we will be able to complete refinancing transactions or otherwise extend our debt maturities. In this regard, it is difficult to predict how political, economic and social conditions, sovereign debt concerns or any adverse regulatory developments will impact the credit and equity markets we access and our future financial position. Our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms, or at all, could be adversely impacted by (i) the financial failure of any of our counterparties, which could (a) reduce amounts available under committed credit facilities and (b) adversely impact our ability to access cash deposited with any failed financial institution, and (ii) tightening of the credit markets. In addition, any weakness in the equity markets could make it less attractive to use our shares to satisfy contingent or other obligations, and sustained or increased competition, particularly in combination with adverse economic or regulatory developments, could have an unfavorable impact on our cash flows and liquidity.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

General. Our cash flows are subject to variations due to FX.

Summary. Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are summarized as follows:


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		Change
	in millions

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	491.8	$	717.8	$	(226.0)
Net cash used by investing activities	(744.6)		(1,075.3)		330.7
Net cash provided by financing activities	21.9		530.6		(508.7)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(3.5)		(6.7)		3.2
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(234.4)	$	166.4	$	(400.8)

Operating Activities. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to timing associated with changes in working capital.

Investing Activities. The cash used by investing activities during 2022 primarily relates to (i) capital expenditures, as further discussed below, (ii) the Claro Panama Acquisition and Broadband VI, LLC Acquisition, and (iii) additional investments made in an equity method investee. The cash used by investing activities during 2021 primarily relates to (i) capital expenditures, as further discussed below, and (ii) the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition.

For additional information regarding our acquisitions, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The capital expenditures that we report in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which relates to cash paid for property and equipment, does not include amounts that are financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements. Instead, these amounts are reflected as non-cash additions to our property and equipment when the underlying assets are delivered and as repayments of debt when the principal is repaid. In this discussion, we refer to (i) our capital expenditures, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and (ii) our total property and equipment additions, which include our capital expenditures on an accrual basis and amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements.

A reconciliation of our property and equipment additions to our capital expenditures, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, is set forth below:


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021
	in millions

Property and equipment additions	$	591.1	$	599.0
Assets acquired under capital-related vendor financing arrangements	(114.2)		(65.0)
Changes in current liabilities related to capital expenditures	20.8		10.7
Capital expenditures	$	497.7	$	544.7

Property and equipment additions during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were consistent with the corresponding period in 2021, as decreases in CPE-related additions and capacity were mostly offset by baseline additions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our property and equipment additions represented 16.2% and 16.9% of revenue, respectively.

Financing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated $22 million of cash from financing activities, primarily due to (i) $98 million of net cash received related to derivatives instruments and (ii) $95 million of net borrowings of debt, which include the impact of $48 million of cash used to extinguish debt at VTR. These net inflows were largely offset by $153 million associated with the repurchase of Liberty Latin America common shares.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated $531 million of cash from financing activities, primarily due to the net effect of (i) $602 million of net borrowings of debt, (ii) $47 million related to the contribution from noncontrolling interest owner, as further described in note 16 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, (iii) $43 million related to payments of derivatives, (iv) $37 million related to payments of financing costs and debt redemption premiums, and (v) $30 million of cash used associated with the repurchase of Liberty Latin America common shares.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Commitments

For information concerning our debt and operating lease obligations, see notes 9 and 10, respectively, to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans and similar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding projected cash flows associated with our derivative instruments, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Projected Cash Flows Associated with Derivative Instruments below. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the net cash paid or received in connection with these instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, see note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion that appears under Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2021 Form 10-K.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our investments in various countries and ongoing investing and financing activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. As further described below, we have established policies, procedures and processes governing our management of market risks and the use of derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

Cash and Investments

We invest our cash in highly liquid instruments that meet high credit quality standards. We are exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that the denominations of our cash and cash equivalent balances, revolving lines of credit and other short-term sources of liquidity do not correspond to the denominations of Liberty Latin America’s short-term liquidity requirements. In order to mitigate this risk, we actively manage the denominations of our cash balances in consideration of Liberty Latin America’s forecasted liquidity requirements.

Foreign Currency Rates

Interest Rate Risks

In general, we seek to enter into derivative instruments to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Accordingly, we have entered into various derivative transactions to reduce exposure to increases in interest rates. We use interest rate derivative contracts to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest rates calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. At September 30, 2022, we paid a fixed or capped rate of interest on 96% of our total debt, which includes the impact of our interest rate derivative contracts. The final maturity dates of our various portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments match the respective maturities of the underlying variable-rate debt. In this regard, we use judgment to determine the appropriate maturity dates of our portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments, taking into account the relative costs and benefits of different maturity profiles in light of current and expected future market conditions, liquidity issues and other factors. For additional information concerning the impacts of these interest rate derivative instruments, see note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Sensitivity Information

Information concerning the sensitivity of the fair value of certain of our more significant derivative instruments to changes in market conditions is set forth below. The potential changes in fair value set forth below do not include any amounts associated with the remeasurement of the derivative asset or liability into the applicable functional currency. For additional information, see notes 5 and 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

C&W Interest Rate Derivative Contracts

Holding all other factors constant, at September 30, 2022, an instantaneous increase (decrease) in the relevant base rate of 100 basis points (1.0%) would have increased (decreased) the aggregate fair value of the C&W interest rate derivative contracts by approximately $98 million ($99 million).

Liberty Puerto Rico Interest Rate Derivative Contracts

Holding all other factors constant, at September 30, 2022, an instantaneous increase (decrease) in the relevant base rate of 100 basis points (1.0%) would have increased (decreased) the aggregate fair value of the Liberty Puerto Rico interest rate derivative contracts by approximately $28 million ($29 million).

Projected Cash Flows Associated with Derivative Instruments

The following table provides information regarding the projected cash flows associated with our derivative instruments. The U.S. dollar equivalents presented below are based on interest rates and exchange rates that were in effect as of September 30, 2022. These amounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and will likely differ from the actual cash payments required in future periods.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executives, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Executives recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and objectives.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable new or enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Our management, with the participation of the Executives, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. As remediation is not completed, the Executives concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures continue to be ineffective as of September 30, 2022.

Management’s Remediation Plans

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is continuing to implement the remediation plans as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that these actions and the improvements we expect to achieve, when fully implemented, will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses identified.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as listed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the quarter, we made the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting:

•additional manual procedures and controls were designed and implemented to enhance our internal control process through a combination of preventative and detective controls;

•key information technology resources were hired to design, implement, perform, and monitor the execution of general information technology controls; and,

•trainings were held to reinforce control concepts and responsibilities for control performers.
