Liberty Global Plc Lilac Class A, operating under the Liberty Latin America umbrella, is a leading communications company providing digital video, broadband internet, telephony, and mobile services across Latin America and the Caribbean. The company also operates a comprehensive subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable network connecting over 30 markets in the region.
Liberty Latin America reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2025, highlighting continued growth in broadband and postpaid mobile subscribers. Despite an operating loss of $205 million for the first half of the year, the company achieved an 8% year-over-year rebased growth in Adjusted OIBDA, amounting to $822 million. The company also announced its intention to drive shareholder value through the separation of Liberty Puerto Rico.
Key financial metrics revealed a 3% decline in revenue for the second quarter compared to the previous year, attributed to reductions across most segments except Liberty Costa Rica. However, Adjusted OIBDA saw a 7% increase, driven by efficiency initiatives and cost reduction efforts, particularly in Liberty Caribbean and Liberty Puerto Rico, which reported significant Adjusted OIBDA growth.
Strategically, Liberty Latin America is focusing on unlocking shareholder value by potentially spinning off Liberty Puerto Rico, aiming to establish a sustainable capital structure for the business. The company plans to leverage its strong investments in fixed and mobile infrastructure across its remaining segments to ensure continued Adjusted OIBDA growth and substantial cash flow generation.
Looking ahead, Liberty Latin America remains committed to enhancing its competitive position in attractive markets and expects its business-to-business segment to catalyze better momentum in the second half of the year. The company is optimistic about its growth potential and plans to support an attractive capital return policy through dividends and stock repurchases.
