Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez commented: "In 2024, we successfully completed our restructuring program, and strengthened the company’s financial position so we can continue to focus on our purpose: building digital highways, connecting people, and developing our communities. Our strong financial results, lower leverage, and improved outlook led the Board to reinstate shareholder remuneration. I want to express my profound gratitude to the exceptional Tigo teams who enabled this unique transformation. Although this year marks the end of an intensive restructuring program, our work continues. We remain fully committed to driving greater efficiency and accelerating revenue growth. As we look ahead to 2025, our key priorities include generating sustainably around $750 million in EFCF, advancing strategic initiatives in Costa Rica and Colombia, and completing the agreed-upon tower divestment.” 2025 Financial Targets Millicom targets EFCF of around $750 million for 2025. This target reflects full year run-rate savings expected from efficiency measures implemented during 2024 and lower expected restructuring costs in 2025, partially offset by the impact of weaker projected foreign exchange rates and the risk of adverse legal rulings. This target excludes the impact of strategic initiatives, such as net proceeds related to the planned sale of Lati International and other assets.  • Q4 2024 Earnings Release • IAS 34 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Millicom is planning to host a video conference for the global financial community on February 27, 2025, at 14:00 (Stockholm) / 13:00 (London) / 08:00 (Miami).
