5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
- SEGMENT INFORMATION
As further detailed in note 1, Millicom operates in a single geographical region, Latin America, and more specifically in the following countries: Guatemala, Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Ecuador and Chile.
As further explained in the 2025 Group's Consolidated Financial Statements, the 'Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources, based on individual countries, which are also operating segments under IFRS 8. Following the recent acquisition of Coltel, the CODM assesses performance and allocate resources in Colombia separately for Tigo Colombia and Coltel, which are therefore presented as separate operating segments. In addition, the Honduras joint venture is reviewed by the CODM in a manner consistent with the Group’s controlled operations and accordingly presented as a separate operating segment at 100%. In the case of the Chile associate, information on its operating results is regularly reviewed by Millicom's CODM, due to its strategic significance, primarily for the purpose of assessing the ongoing investor–investee relationship. In accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments, this regular review by the CODM qualifies the Chile associate as an operating segment, and it is therefore presented as a separate operating segment at 100%. The amounts of the Honduras joint venture and the Chile associate are subsequently eliminated to reconcile to the Group consolidated results, as shown in the reconciliations below.
Management evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to the Group's operating segments based on financial measures, such as revenue, including service revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA. Capital expenditures are also a significant aspect for management and in the telecommunication industry as a whole. Management believes that service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are essential financial indicators for the CODM and investors. These measures are particularly valuable for evaluating performance over time. Management utilizes service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA when making operational decisions, allocating resources, and conducting internal comparisons against historical performance and competitor benchmarks. Additionally, these metrics provide deeper insights into the Group's operating performance. Millicom's Nomination, Talent and Compensation Committee also employs service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA when assessing employees' performance and compensation, including that of the Group's executives. A reconciliation of service revenue to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to profit before taxes is provided below.
Following the above-mentioned changes in scope which took place during 1Q of 2026, the Group considers the following individual countries as reportable segments, with Ecuador being reported on separately to provide additional information to users of the financial statements, even though it does not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments under IFRS 8. (and Bolivia no longer considered as a reportable segment following the application of IAS21 Amendments). Comparative information has been re-presented accordingly.
Revenue, Service revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures and other segment information for the years ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 are shown on the below:
