With the exception of the Bahamas, all of these C&Wmarkets are included in the “Other” category in the accompanying table. For Puerto Rico, British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Anguilla, where we arestill in the process of assessing the impacts of the hurricanes on our networks and subscriber counts, (i) the subscriber levels reflect the pre-hurricaneRGU (as defined below) counts as of August 31, 2017, adjusted for net known disconnects through December 31, 2017 and (ii) the homes passed levelsreflect the pre-hurricane homes passed counts as of August 31, 2017, adjusted for an estimated 30,000 homes in Puerto Rico that were destroyed ingeographic areas we currently do not anticipate rebuilding our network. As of December 31, 2017, we have been able to restore service toapproximately 340,000 RGUs of our total 738,500 RGUs at Liberty Puerto Rico. Additionally, services to most of our fixed-line customers have notyet been restored in the British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Anguilla. While mobile services have been largely restored in these markets, we are stillin the process of completing the restoration of our mobile network infrastructure.I-6 (b)Mobile subscribers are comprised of the following: Prepaid Postpaid TotalC&W: Panama1,523,600 158,700 1,682,300Jamaica934,900 18,800 953,700The Bahamas228,100 26,800 254,900Barbados97,300 27,000 124,300Other346,300 55,000 401,300Total C&W3,130,200 286,300 3,416,500VTR6,900 208,000 214,900Total3,137,100 494,300 3,631,400I-7 Operating Data Glossary•Basic Video Subscriber – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video service over our broadband networkeither via an analog video signal or via a digital video signal without subscribing to any recurring monthly service that requires the use ofencryption-enabling technology. Encryption-enabling technology includes smart cards, or other integrated or virtual technologies that we use toprovide our enhanced service offerings. With the exception of RGUs that we count on an equivalent billing unit (EBU) basis, we count RGUs on aunique premises basis. In other words, a subscriber with multiple outlets in one premises is counted as one RGU and a subscriber with two homes anda subscription to our video service at each home is counted as two RGUs. We exclude DTH subscribers (as defined below) from basic videosubscribers.•Direct-to-Home (DTH) Subscriber – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video programming broadcastdirectly via satellite.•Enhanced Video Subscriber – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video service over our broadbandnetwork or through a partner network via a digital video signal while subscribing to any recurring monthly service that requires the use ofencryption-enabling technology. Enhanced video subscribers that are not counted on an EBU basis are counted on a unique premises basis. Forexample, a subscriber with one or more set-top boxes that receives our video service in one premises is generally counted as just one subscriber. Anenhanced video subscriber is not counted as a basic video subscriber. As we migrate customers from basic to enhanced video services, we report adecrease in our basic video subscribers equal to the increase in our enhanced video subscribers.•Fixed-line Customer Relationships – The number of customers who receive at least one of our video, internet or telephony services that we count asRGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. To the extent that RGU counts include EBU adjustments, we reflectcorresponding adjustments to our customer relationship counts. For further information regarding our EBU calculation, see —Additional GeneralNotes to Table below. Fixed-line customer relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives ourservices in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two customer relationships. We excludemobile-only customers from customer relationships.•Homes Passed – Homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to our networks without materially extendingthe distribution plant, except for DTH homes. Certain of our homes passed counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisionsto the data or from new census results. We do not count homes passed for DTH.•Internet (Broadband) Subscriber – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives internet services over our networks, orthat we service through a partner network. Our internet subscribers do not include customers that receive services from dial-up connections.•Mobile Subscribers – Our mobile subscriber count represents the number of active subscriber identification module (SIM) cards in service ratherthan services provided. For example, if a mobile subscriber has both a data and voice plan on a smartphone this would equate to one mobilesubscriber. Alternatively, a subscriber who has a voice and data plan for a mobile handset and a data plan for a laptop (via a dongle) would becounted as two mobile subscribers. Customers who do not pay a recurring monthly fee are excluded from our mobile telephony subscriber countsafter periods of inactivity ranging from 30 to 60 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. In a number of countries, ourmobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts.•Revenue Generating Unit (RGU) – RGU is separately a basic video subscriber, enhanced video subscriber, DTH subscriber, internet subscriber ortelephony subscriber. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit, or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residentialcustomer in Chile subscribed to our enhanced video service, fixed-line telephony service and broadband internet service, the customer wouldconstitute three RGUs. Total RGUs is the sum of basic video, enhanced video, DTH, internet and telephony subscribers. RGUs generally are countedon a unique premises basis such that a given premises does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if anindividual receives one of our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for thatservice. Each bundled cable, internet or telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount orpromotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as subscribers during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose todisconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g., VIP subscribers or free service to employees)generally are not counted as RGUs. We do not include subscriptions to mobile services in our externally reported RGU counts. In this regard, ourRGU counts exclude our separately reported postpaid and prepaid mobile subscribers.I-8 •Telephony Subscriber – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives voice services over our networks, or that weservice through a partner network. Telephony subscribers exclude mobile telephony subscribers.•Two-way Homes Passed – Homes passed by those sections of our networks that are technologically capable of providing two-way services,including video, internet and telephony services.Additional General Notes to Table:Most of our broadband communications subsidiaries provide telephony, broadband internet, data, video or other B2B services. Certain of our B2Bservice revenue is derived from small office/home office (SOHO) subscribers that pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with video,internet or telephony services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. All mass marketed productsprovided to SOHOs, whether or not accompanied by enhanced service levels and/or premium prices, are included in the respective RGU and customer countsof our broadband communications operations, with only those services provided at premium prices considered to be “SOHO RGUs” or “SOHO customers.” Tothe extent our existing customers upgrade from a residential product offering to a SOHO product offering, the number of SOHO RGUs or SOHO customers willincrease, but there is no impact to our total RGU or customer counts. Due to system limitations, SOHO customers of C&W are not included in our respectiveRGU and customer counts as of December 31, 2017. With the exception of our B2B SOHO subscribers, we generally do not count customers of B2B servicesas customers or RGUs for external reporting purposes.Certain of our residential and commercial RGUs are counted on an EBU basis, including residential multiple dwelling units and commercialestablishments, such as bars, hotels and hospitals, in Chile and Puerto Rico. Our EBUs are generally calculated by dividing the bulk price charged toaccounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. As such, we mayexperience variances in our EBU counts solely as a result of changes in rates.While we take appropriate steps to ensure that subscriber statistics are presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, thevariability from country to country in (i) the nature and pricing of products and services, (ii) the distribution platform, (iii) billing systems, (iv) bad debtcollection experience and (v) other factors add complexity to the subscriber counting process. We periodically review our subscriber counting policies andunderlying systems to improve the accuracy and consistency of the data reported on a prospective basis. Accordingly, we may from time to time makeappropriate adjustments to our subscriber statistics based on those reviews.Fixed Network and Product Penetration Data (%) Chile Panama Puerto Rico(1) Jamaica Trinidad &Tobago Barbados The Bahamas (1) Other C&W(1)Network data: Two-way homes passed (2)86% 100% 100% 98% 100% 100% 100% 95%Homes passed: Cable (3)100% 57% 100% 60% 100% —% —% 51%FTTx (3)—% —% —% 1% —% 100% 29% 4%VDSL (3)—% 43% —% 39% —% —% 71% 45% Product penetration: Television (4)31% 9% 22% 22% 34% 14% 5% 22%Enhanced video (5)94% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 85%Broadband internet (6)41% 19% 29% 38% 39% 50% 21% 38%Fixed-line telephony (6)22% 23% 18% 39% 16% 60% 37% 30%Double-play (7)30% 35% 12% 36% 23% 47% 43% 39%Triple-play (7)37% 18% 42% 28% 29% 17% 13% 5%(1) For additional information regarding the impacts of Hurricanes Maria and Irma, see —Operating Data above.I-9 (2)Percentage of total homes passed that are two-way homes passed.(3)Percentage of two-way homes passed served by a cable, fiber-to-the-home/-cabinet/-building/-node (FTTx) or digital subscriber line (DSL) network, asapplicable.“VDSL” refers to both our DSL and very high-speed DSL technology networks.(4)Percentage of total homes passed that subscribe to cable television services (basic video or enhanced video).(5)Percentage of cable television subscribers (basic video and enhanced video subscribers) that are enhanced video subscribers.(6)Percentage of two-way homes passed that subscribe to broadband internet or fixed-line telephony services, as applicable.(7)Percentage of total customers that subscribe to two services (double-play customers) or three services (triple-play customers) offered by our operations(video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony), as applicable.Video, Broadband Internet & Fixed-Line Telephony and Mobile Services Chile Panama Puerto Rico Jamaica Trinidad &Tobago Barbados The Bahamas Other C&WVideo services: Network System (1) HFC VDSL/HFC HFC VDSL/HFC/FTTX HFC FTTx VDSL/FTTx VDSL/HFC/FTTX Broadband internetservice: Maximum downloadspeed offered (Mbps)300 300 300 (2) 100 240 (3) 1,000 300 50 (4) — — — — — — — —Mobile services: Network Technology(5)LTE LTE — LTE — LTE LTE LTE / HSPA+(1)These are the primary systems used for delivery of services in the countries indicated. “HFC” refers to hybrid fiber coaxial cable networks.(2)In certain areas, speeds of up to 400 Mbps are available.(3)Speeds of up to 1 Gbps are available in limited areas.(4)In certain areas, speeds of up to 300 Mbps are available.(5)Fastest available technology. “LTE” refers to the Long Term Evolution Standard.I-10 Products and ServicesWe offer our customers a comprehensive set of converged mobile, broadband, video and fixed-line telephony services.

We offer mobile services throughout most of our operating footprint. We are a mobile network provider in Panama and most of ourCaribbean markets, including the Bahamas and Jamaica. In Chile, we provide mobile services as an MVNO, where VTR leases a third-party’s radio accessnetwork. As a mobile network provider, we are able to offer a full range of voice and data services, including value-added services. Where available, weexpect our mobile services will allow us to provide an extensive converged product offering with video, internet and fixed-line telephony, allowing ourcustomers connectivity in and out of the home. We hold spectrum licenses as a mobile network provider, with terms typically ranging from 10 to 15 years.Subscribers to our mobile services pay varying monthly fees depending on whether the mobile service is bundled with one of our other services orincludes mobile data services over their phones, tablets or laptops. Our mobile services are available on a postpaid or prepaid basis, with most customerspurchasing a prepaid plan. We offer our customers the option to purchase mobile handsets with purchase terms typically related to whether the customerselects a prepaid or postpaid plan. Customers selecting a prepaid plan or service pay in advance for a pre-determined amount of airtime or data and generallydo not enter into a minimum contract term. Customers subscribing to a postpaid plan generally enter into contracts ranging from 12 to 24 months. The long-term contracts are often taken with a subsidized mobile handset. For each SIM card, we typically charge a one-time activation fee to our prepaid customers.Calls within and out of network incur a separate charge if not covered within a prepaid plan or under a postpaid monthly service plan. Our mobile servicesinclude voice, SMS and internet access via data plans.I-11 Telephony Services. C&W is the incumbent fixed-line telephony service provider in many of its Caribbean markets. VTR is the second largest residentialfixed-line telephony operator, and a leading provider within our footprint.We offer multi-feature telephony service over our various fixed networks, including cable, FTTx and copper networks. Depending on location, theseservices are provided via either circuit-switched telephony or voice-over-internet-protocol (VoIP) technology. As the need arises, we are replacing obsoleteswitches with VoIP technology and older copper networks with modern fiber optics, as we continue to develop and invest in new technologies that willenhance our customers’ experiences. These digital telephony services cover international, local and domestic services.Video Services. We offer video services in Chile, Puerto Rico and in most of our C&W residential markets, including Panama, Jamaica, Trinidad andTobago, Barbados and the Bahamas. To meet the demands of our customers, we have enhanced our video services with next generation, market leadingdigital television platforms that enable our customers to control when and where they watch their programming. These advanced services are delivered overour FTTx, VDSL and hybrid fiber coaxial cable networks and include a digital video recorder (DVR), a video-on-demand (VoD) offering and an advancedelectronic programming guide. In certain of our markets, customers can pause their programming while the live broadcast is in progress and access a selectionof channels through a mobile application.In most of our markets, customers have access to VoD, which offers thousands of movies and other video content, including children’s programming,documentaries, adult programming, sports and television series. Our VoD service features content available on a transaction basis and content availablewithin the channel tiers, from basic and premium channels. Customers who subscribe to our video service receive a VoD enabled set-top box without anadditional monthly charge. We continue to develop our VoD services to provide a growing collection of programming from leading local and internationalsuppliers.In Chile, we are currently working to implement Horizon Go, which will extend the advanced video viewing experience to connected devices beyondthe set-top box, including mobile phones and tablets. In several of our Caribbean markets and Panama, we offer a comprehensive internet streaming videoservice (branded “Flow ToGo” and “+TV Go”) that allows our video customers to stream an increasing number of channels with a broadband connection inand out of the home and on multiple devices. In Puerto Rico, our video customers can access over 70 applications from content providers to watch streamedlinear and VoD programming by authenticating as a customer.All of our operations with fixed video services offer multiple tiers of digital video programming starting with a basic video service (including digitalaudio channels). In addition, subscribers have the option to select extended and premium subscription tiers. Fixed digital video services require a set-top boxprovided by us that also enables access to enhanced features such as VoD. Subscribers to our basic video services pay a fixed monthly fee and generally canelect to receive, in most of our markets, a skinny entry tier or take a basic tier with a minimum of 100 video channels, including a number of high definition(HD) channels. We also offer a variety of premium channel packages combining channels and VoD. In the few markets where our analog service is stillavailable, subscribers to that service typically receive fewer channels than subscribers to our basic digital service, with the number of channels dependent ontheir location. Subscribers to our digital services in each case receive the channels available through our analog service. In all of our video operations, wecontinue to upgrade our systems to expand our digital services and encourage our remaining analog subscribers to convert to a digital or premium digitalservice. Discounts to our monthly service fees are generally available to any subscriber who selects a bundled service of at least two of the following services:video, internet and fixed-line telephony.We tailor our video services in each country of operation based on local programing preferences, culture, demographics and local regulatoryrequirements. Our channel offerings include the most relevant content to our subscribers, combining general entertainment, sports, movies, documentaries,lifestyle, news, adult, children and foreign channels, as well as local, regional and international broadcast networks.We also operate channels in theCaribbean, including the leading Caribbean sports network, Flow Sports.Internet Services. Our customers are increasingly using online communications. To support our customers’ expectations for seamless connectivity, we areexpanding our networks to make ultrafast broadband available to more people. This includes investment in the convergence of our fixed and mobile datasystems and making wireless systems available in the home. In 2017, we improved the connectivity of over 465,000 homes in Chile, Puerto Rico (prior to theimpact of the hurricanes), Panama and other C&W markets through our Network Extension programs (as defined and described below). We initially launchedthe Connect Box to our subscribers in Chile and Puerto Rico and, in 2017, we began expansion of the Connect Box to various C&W markets. The ConnectBox is a next generation WiFi and telephony gateway that enables us to maximize the impact of our ultrafast broadband networks by providing reliablewireless connectivity anywhere in the home. This gateway can be self-installed and has an automatic WiFi optimization function, which selects the bestpossible wireless frequency at any given time.I-12 The internet speeds we offer are one of our differentiators, as customers spend more time streaming video and other bandwidth-heavy services onmultiple devices. As a result, we are continuing to invest in additional bandwidth and technologies to increase internet speeds throughout our Latin Americaand Caribbean footprint. We have increased the top tier internet speed for our customers in Chile and Puerto Rico to 300 Mbps and, in certain areas of PuertoRico, download speeds of up to 400 Mbps are available. We have also increased our broadband internet speeds in the C&W footprint following upgrades toour networks, notably in Panama and Jamaica. We plan to continue the upgrade and expansion of our fixed networks so that we can deploy high-speedinternet service to additional customers in the coming years.Our residential subscribers access the internet via DSL over our fixed-line telephony networks, FTTx or hybrid fiber coaxial cable networks and withcable modems connected to their internet capable devices, including personal computers, or wirelessly via the Connect Box. In each of our markets, we offermultiple tiers of internet service. The speed of service depends on location and the tier of service selected by our subscribers.Our internet service generally includes email, address book and parental controls with value-added services available for additional incremental charges.Our value-added services include security measures and online storage. Mobile broadband internet services are also available through our mobile servicesdescribed above. Subscribers to our internet service pay a monthly fee based on the tier of service selected. In addition to the monthly fee, customers pay anactivation service fee upon subscribing to an internet service. This one-time fee may be waived for promotional reasons. We determine pricing for eachdifferent tier of internet service through an analysis of speed, market conditions and other factors.Business ServicesC&W is one of the largest business service providers in its markets, and business services represent a significant portion of C&W’s revenue. We offercloud based integrated communication services, connectivity and wholesale solutions to carriers and businesses throughout the Caribbean and in parts ofLatin America via our sub-sea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks. Our systems include long-haul terrestrial backbone and metro fiber networks thatprovide access to major commercial zones, wireless carrier cell sites and customers in key markets within our operating footprint. Our networks deliver criticalinfrastructure for the transit of growing traffic from businesses, governments and other telecommunications operators across the region, particularly to thehigh-traffic destination of the United States.I-13 Below is a map of our sub-sea fiber network.With over 50,000 km of fiber optic cable, and a capacity of over 3 terabytes per second (Tbps), C&W is able to carry large volumes of voice and datatraffic on behalf of our customers, businesses and carriers. C&W’s networks also allow us to provide point-to-point, clear channel wholesale broadbandcapacity services and IP transit, superior switching and routing capabilities and local network services to telecommunications carriers, internet serviceproviders (ISPs) and large corporations. In case of outages on portions of the cable systems, our network provides inbuilt resiliency due to the capability ofre-routing traffic. C&W is highly regarded for its wholesale services.

We also target specific industry segments, such as financial institutions, the hospitality sector, education institutions andgovernment ministries and agencies. We offer tailored solutions that combine our standard services with value added features, such as dedicated customercare and enhanced service performance monitoring. Our business products and services include voice, broadband, enterprise-grade connectivity, networksecurity, unified communications and a range of cloud based IT solutions, such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), disaster recovery and other serviceofferings. We also offer a range of data, voice and internet services to carriers, ISPs and mobile operators. Our extensive fiber optic cable networks allow us totypically deliver redundant, end-to-end connectivity. It also allows us to provide business customers our services over fiber lines and local networks; thereby,seamlessly connecting businesses anywhere in the region.Our business services fall into five broad categories:•VoIP and circuit-switch telephony, on-premise and hosted private branch exchange solutions and conferencing options, hosted contact centersolutions;•data services for internet access, virtual private networks, high capacity point-to-point, point-to-multi-point and multi-point-to-multi-point services,managed networking services such as wide area networks and WiFi networks;•wireless services for mobile voice and data;I-14 •interactive TV service with specialized channel lineups for targeted industries; and•value added services, including cloud IT services such as disaster recovery as a service, backup services, and IaaS; managed network securityservices; and specialized services such as digital signage, retail analytics and location based marketing.We offer a comprehensive range of information and communication technology solutions to businesses and governmental agencies, including a broadsuite of cloud-based services, as well as a suite of commercial grade triple-play services. Our telephony and telecommunication services include flexible callhandling, teleconferencing, voice mail and other premium calling features, as well as security, surveillance and backup services. We believe that theextensive reach of our network and assets, as well as our comprehensive set of capabilities means that we are well-positioned to meet the needs of high-valuebusiness and government customers that are increasingly searching for a single provider to manage their ever more complex communications, connectivityand information technology needs.We work with businesses to customize their information and communications services based on the needs of the business. For these tailored services, weenter into individual multi-year agreements. For SOHO and small business customers, we generally enter into standard service agreements with contractuallyestablished prices based on the size of the business, the services received and the volume and duration of the services. We also have agreements to provideour services to our business customers over fully managed and monitored network bandwidth, dedicated fiber lines and third-party fiber networks. Ourintermediate to long-term strategy is to enhance our capabilities and offerings in the business sector so we become a preferred provider in the business market.To execute this strategy successfully, customer care is a key driver and, accordingly, we continually strive to improve the capabilities of our shared servicesupport centers.TechnologyIn many of our markets, our broadband internet, video and fixed-line telephony services are transmitted over a hybrid fiber coaxial cable network. Thisnetwork is composed primarily of fiber networks that are connected to the home over the last few hundred meters by coaxial cable. In several of ourCaribbean markets, our services are transmitted over a fixed network consisting of FTTx, VDSL or copper lines. Over 90% of our networks allow for two-waycommunications and are flexible enough to support our current services as well as new services.We closely monitor our network capacity and customer usage. We continue to take actions and explore improvements to our technologies that willincrease our capacity and enhance our customers’ connected entertainment experience. These actions include:•recapturing bandwidth and optimizing our networks by:•increasing the number of nodes in our markets;•increasing the bandwidth of our hybrid fiber coaxial cable networks;•converting analog channels to digital;•bonding additional data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) 3.0 channels;•deploying VDSL over our fixed telephony network;•replacing copper lines with modern optic fibers; and•using digital compression technologies.•freeing spectrum for high-speed internet, VoD and other services by encouraging customers to move from analog to digital services;•increasing the efficiency of our networks by moving headend functions (encoding, transcoding and multiplexing) to cloud storage systems;•enhancing our network to accommodate further business services;•using our wireless technologies to extend services outside of the home;•offering remote access to our video services through laptops, smart phones and tablets;I-15 •expanding the availability of next generation decoder boxes (such as Horizon TV) and related products, as well as developing and introducingonline media sharing and streaming or cloud-based video; and•testing new technologies.We are engaged in network extension and upgrade programs at C&W, VTR and Liberty Puerto Rico, although the Liberty Puerto Rico program has beeninterrupted by the impacts of the hurricanes. We collectively refer to these network extension and upgrade programs as the “Network Extensions.” Throughthe Network Extensions, we are expanding our fixed networks pursuant to which we connect or upgrade homes and businesses to our broadbandcommunications network. In addition, we are seeking mobile service opportunities where we have established cable networks and expanding our fixed-linenetworks where we have a strong mobile offering. This will allow us to offer converged fixed-line and mobile services to our customers.We deliver high-speed data and fixed-line telephony over our various fixed networks, including cable, FTTx and copper networks. These networks arefurther connected via our sub-sea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that provide connectivity within and outside the region. Our sub-sea networkcables terminating in the United States carry over 3 Tbps, which represent less than 10% of their potential capacity based on current deployed technology,presenting us with significant growth opportunities. In Puerto Rico, our network includes a fiber ring around the island that provides enhancedinterconnectivity points to the island’s other local and international telecommunications companies. The fiber ring provides enhanced interconnectivitypoints to the island’s other local and international telecommunications companies.Supply SourcesContentWith telecommunication companies increasingly offering similar services, content is one of the drivers for customers in selecting a video servicesprovider. Therefore, in addition to providing services that allow our customers to view programming when and where they want, we are investing in contentthat matters the most to our customers. Our content strategy is based on:•proposition (meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations on entertainment);•product (making available the best content anywhere and anytime);•acquisition (investment in the best channels, VoD content and exclusive sports); and•partnering (strategic alignment with content partners and growth opportunities).Except for our Flow Sports and Flow 1 entertainment services in the Caribbean, we license almost all of our programming and on-demand offeringsthrough distribution agreements with third-party content providers, including broadcasters and cable programming networks. For such licenses, we generallypay a monthly fee on a per subscriber basis, with minimum guarantees in certain cases through long-term programming licenses. For our distributionagreements, we seek to include the rights to offer the licensed channels and programming to our customers through multiple delivery platforms includingthrough our apps for IP connected devices and websites. We also acquire rights to make available, in selected markets, basic and/or premium video services tomobile and/or broadband subscribers that are not TV subscribers.In seeking licenses for content, our primary focus is on partnering with leading international providers, such as Disney/ESPN, Fox, Time Warner/HBO,Discovery, NBCU and Viacom. We also seek to carry in each of our markets key local broadcasters. For our VoD services, we license a variety ofprogramming, including Hollywood movies, music, children’s programming, documentaries and local productions.We also use exclusive content in order to differentiate our video proposition. We operate the leading Caribbean sports network, Flow Sports. SinceAugust 2016, Flow Sports has broadcast all of the Premier League games across our Caribbean markets, excluding Puerto Rico, as part of a three-yearexclusive agreement, over a combination of a basic service, Flow Sports (also distributed to other pay TV operators), and a premium service, Flow SportsPremier (available exclusively to our customers). In 2017, Flow Sports announced that it acquired, in partnership with another channel, the rights to theUEFA Champions League and Europa Cup in a three-year agreement from June 2018. Flow Sports also broadcasts the other leading sports in the region,including cricket and track and field. Through the Flow Sports app, our video customers are able to watch Flow Sports content exclusively on-the-go andacross multiple screens.In Chile, we are subject to certain regulatory conditions, which were imposed in connection with VTR’s combination with Metropolis Intercom S.A. inApril 2005, including a prohibition on VTR obtaining exclusive broadcast rights, except for specific events.I-16 Mobile Handsets and Customer Premises EquipmentWe use a variety of suppliers for mobile handsets to offer our customers mobile services. For other customer premises equipment, we purchase from anumber of different suppliers with at least two or more suppliers providing our high-volume products. Customer premises equipment includes set-top boxes,modems, WiFi routers, DVRs, tuners and similar devices. For each type of equipment, we retain specialists to provide customer support. For our broadbandservices, we use a variety of suppliers for our network equipment and the various services we offer.Software LicensesWe license software products, including email and security software as well as content, such as news feeds, from several suppliers for our internetservices. The agreements for these products require us to pay a per subscriber fee for software licenses and a share of advertising revenue for content licenses.For our mobile network operations and our fixed-line telephony services, we license software products, such as voicemail, text messaging and caller ID, froma variety of suppliers. For these licenses we seek to enter into long-term contracts, which generally require us to pay based on usage of the services.Access ArrangementsFor our mobile services provided through the MVNO arrangement at VTR, we are dependent on a third- party wireless network provider, with whom wecontract to carry the mobile communications traffic of our customers. We seek to enter into medium to long-term arrangements for this service. Anytermination of this arrangement could significantly impact our mobile services provided through VTR.Regulatory MattersVideo distribution, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile businesses are regulated in each of the markets in which we operate, and thescope of regulation varies from market to market. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number of risks. Regulation, includingconditions imposed on us by competition or other authorities as a requirement to close acquisitions or dispositions, could limit growth, revenue and thenumber and type of services offered and could lead to increased operating costs and property and equipment additions. In addition, regulation may restrictour operations and subject them to further competitive pressure, including pricing rules and restrictions, interconnect and other access obligations, andrestrictions or controls on content, including content provided by third parties. Failure to comply with current or future regulation could expose ourbusinesses to various penalties.C&WThe video, broadband and telephony services provided by C&W are subject to regulation and enforcement by various governmental and regulatoryentities in each of the jurisdictions where such services are provided. The scope and reach of these regulations are distinct in each market. Generally, C&Wprovides services in accordance with licenses and concessions granted by national authorities pursuant to national telecommunication legislation andassociated regulations. Certain of these regulatory requirements are summarized below.As the incumbent telecommunications provider in many of its jurisdictions, C&W is subject to significant regulatory oversight with respect to theprovision of fixed-line and mobile telephony services. Generally, in these markets, C&W operates under a government issued license or concession thatenables it to own and operate its telecommunication networks, including the establishment of wireless networks and the use of spectrum. These licenses andconcessions are typically non-exclusive and have renewable multi-year terms that include competitive, qualitative and rate regulation. Licenses andconcessions are scheduled to expire over the next two years in Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and Barbados. We believe we have complied with all localrequirements to have existing licenses renewed and have provided all necessary information to enable local authorities to process applications for renewal ina timely manner. In addition, in some of the ECTEL (as defined below) states we are operating under expired licenses and have applied for renewal of suchlicenses. We expect that such licenses will be granted or renewed, as applicable, on the same or substantially similar terms and conditions in a timely manner.Pending issuance of new or renewed licenses or concessions, we continue to operate on the same terms and conditions as prior to the licenses expiring. Withrespect to licenses for mobile spectrum, the initial grant of the spectrum is typically subject to an auction process, but in some cases may be granted on thebasis of an administrative process at a set level of fees for a fixed period of time, typically to coincide with carrier licenses, subject to annual fees andcompliance with applicable license requirements.Rate regulation of C&W’s telephony services typically includes price caps that set the maximum rates C&W may charge to customers, or legislation thatrequires consent from a regulator prior to any price increases. In addition, all regulators determine and set the rates that may be charged by all telephonyoperators, including C&W, for interconnect charges, access charges betweenI-17 operators for calls originating on one network that are completed through connections with one or more networks of other providers, and charges for networkunbundling services. In addition, in certain markets, regulators set, or are seeking to set, mobile roaming rates.In recent years, a number of markets in which C&W operates have demonstrated an increased interest in regulating various aspects of broadband internetservices due to the increasing importance and availability of high speed broadband. As broadband internet access has become a national priority for many ofC&W’s markets, national regulators have demonstrated an increased focus on the issues of network resilience, broadband affordability and penetration,quality of services and consumer rights. Certain regulators are also seeking to mandate third-party access to C&W’s network infrastructure, including darkfiber and landing stations, as well as to regulate wholesale services and prices. Any such decision and application to grant access to our network infrastructuremay strengthen our competitors by granting them the ability to access our network to offer competing products and services without making thecorresponding capital intensive infrastructure investment. In addition, any resale access granted to competitors on favorable economic terms that are not setby the free market could adversely impact our ability to maintain or increase our revenue and cash flows. The extent of any such adverse impacts ultimatelywill be dependent on the extent that competitors take advantage of the resale access ultimately afforded to our network, the pricing mandated by regulatoryauthorities and other competitive factors or market developments.As examples of infrastructure sharing, the Office of Utilities Regulation in Jamaica is in the process of conducting a consultation that could result intelecom facilities sharing rules that could require us to share our infrastructure (including dark fiber, ducts, sub-sea cable landing stations and mobile networktowers) with third parties, including our competitors without any requirement of making a corresponding capital intensive infrastructure investment. Weintend to appeal and dispute any such ruling. In addition, the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority (ECTEL), the regulatory body fortelecommunications in five Eastern Caribbean States (Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines),has adopted an Electronic Communications Bill that may have a material adverse impact on C&W’s operations in the ECTEL member states. The proposedElectronic Communications Bill includes provisions relating to:•net neutrality principles mandating equal access to all content and applications regardless of the source and without favoring, degrading,interrupting, intercepting, blocking access or throttling speeds;•subscription television rate regulation;•regulations implementing market dominance rules;•network unbundling at regulated rates; and•mandated unbundled access to all landing station network elements at cost-based rates.We currently cannot determine the impact these provisions will have on our operations because national regulators are required to conduct extensivemarket reviews before adopting specific measures and these measures might be reconsidered in accordance with the market reviews. It is currently unclear asto when the new legislation will be enacted. To become law, the legislation will need to be passed by the Parliament of each ECTEL state, and there remainssome concerns by St. Lucia and Grenada about the impact of the legislation on operators like C&W. We expect that consensus on the final version of the billwill take some time. As such, the timing and ultimate effect of the bill is unclear.In Panama, as a result of a public consultation process, the regulator issued new guidelines and new quality goals for the Internet Public Service, byResolution AN No.11370-Telco of June 26, 2017 and its modification, which went into effect in February 2018.In addition to rate regulation, several markets in which C&W operates have imposed, or are considering imposing, regulations designed to furtherencourage competition, including introducing requirements related to unbundling, network access to third parties, and local number portability (LNP). LNPhas been implemented in Panama, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Jamaica and is currently being contemplated or implemented in other jurisdictions,including Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago.The pay television service provided in certain C&W markets is subject to, among other things, subscriber privacy regulations, data protection laws andregulations, and the must-carry rule (as defined below) and retransmission consent rights of broadcast stations.C&W is subject to universal service obligations in a number of markets. These obligations vary in specificity and extent, but they are generally related toensuring widespread geographic coverage of networks and that the populations of C&W’s individual markets have access to basic telecommunicationservices at minimum quality standards. In a number of cases, C&W is requiredI-18 to support universal access/service goals through contributions to universal service funds or participate in universal service-related projects. A bill to modifythe Panama Universal Service Law (Law 59) has been submitted for consideration to the National Assembly and a sub-commission has been formed to reviewit.Another relevant bill in Panama relates to the consolidation of the Mobile Market, which has been approved in the first reading and pending on thesecond and third reading in the National Assembly. The proposed bill would allow mobile consolidation to three operators, which is currently set by law atfour.In addition to the industry-specific regimes discussed above, C&W’s operating companies must comply with both specific and general legislationconcerning, among other matters, data retention, consumer protection and electronic commerce. These operating companies are also subject to national levelregulations on competition and on consumer protection.The C&W Acquisition (as defined below) triggered regulatory approval requirements in certain jurisdictions in which C&W operates. The regulatoryauthorities in certain of these jurisdictions, including the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago and the Seychelles, have not completed their review of the C&WAcquisition or granted their approval. While we expect to receive all outstanding approvals, such approvals may include binding conditions or requirementsthat could have an adverse impact on C&W’s operations and financial condition.In Trinidad and Tobago, C&W was required by the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT), in connection with TATT’sapproval of C&W’s acquisition of Columbus International Inc. in March 2015, to dispose of its 49% shareholding in the Telecommunications Services ofTrinidad and Tobago Limited (TSTT). The disposal of C&W’s stake in TSTT is not complete and the deadline set by TATT for such completion was recentlyextended to June 30, 2018. We cannot predict when, or if, we will be able to dispose of this investment at an acceptable price. As such, no assurance can begiven that we will be able to recover the carrying value of our investment in TSTT.ChileVTR is subject to regulation and enforcement by various governmental entities in Chile including the Chilean Antitrust Authority, the Ministry ofTransportation and Telecommunications (the Ministry) through the Chilean Undersecretary of Telecommunications (SubTel), the National TelevisionCouncil (CNTV) and the National Consumer Service (Sernac).In addition to the specific regulations described below, VTR is subject to certain regulatory conditions which were imposed by the Chilean AntitrustAuthority in connection with VTR’s combination with Metrópolis Intercom SA in April 2005. These conditions are indefinite and include, among others, (i)prohibiting VTR and its control group from participating, directly or indirectly through a related person, in Chilean satellite or microwave televisionbusinesses, (ii) prohibiting VTR from obtaining exclusive broadcast rights, except for specific events, and (iii) requiring VTR to offer its broadband capacityfor resale of internet services on a wholesale basis.Video. The provision of pay television services requires a permit issued by the Ministry. Cable pay television permits are granted for an indefinite termand are non-exclusive. As these permits do not involve radio electric spectrum, they are granted without ongoing duties or royalties. VTR has permits toprovide cable pay television services in the major cities, including Santiago, and in most of the medium-sized markets in Chile.Cable television service providers in Chile are free to define the channels and content included in their services and are not required to carry any specificprogramming, except as described below. However, CNTV may impose sanctions on providers who are found to have run programming containing excessiveviolence, pornography or other objectionable content. Pay television operators are directly responsible for violation of such prohibitions. Additionally, theChilean Television Act (the Television Act) requires pay television operators to offer a certain quota of cultural content and to distribute public interestcampaigns.The Television Act establishes a retransmission consent regime between broadcast television concessionaires and pay television operators. This regimeprovides that once a broadcast operator achieves digital coverage of 85% of the population within its concession areas, the broadcast operator may requirethat pay television operators enter into an agreement for the retransmission of its digital signal. In addition, the Television Act requires that the technical orcommercial conditions imposed by broadcast operators not discriminate among pay television operators. Also, the Television Act establishes a must carryregime requiring pay television operators to distribute up to four local broadcast television channels in each operating area. The channels that must be carriedby any particular pay television operator are to be selected by CNTV. The full implementation of the retransmission and must carry regimes are still pending.VTR’s ability to change its channel lineup is restricted by an agreement reached with Sernac in July 2012 and the general regulation established bySubTel in February 2014 (by the Telecommunication Services General Rulemaking). This frameworkI-19 allows VTR to change one or more channels from its lineup after a 60-day notice period to its subscribers. In such cases, VTR shall offer a channel of similarcontent and quality or a proportional compensation. Despite this, after certain channel adjustments were applied in July 2016, the excluded programmers aswell as social media have questioned VTR’s ability to unilaterally modify its channel grid, arguing that content and quality of new channels should beidentical to the excluded channels. A final position on this issue is pending.Internet. A law passed in November 2017 requires all ISPs to apply for a public service concession for data transmission within three months of thepassage of such law. Because VTR operates via networks that were previously approved by SubTel, VTR will use a fast-track procedure with respect to thisconcession.A law on internet neutrality prohibits “arbitrary blockings” of legal content, applications or services and the provision of differentiated serviceconditions according to the origin or ownership of the content or service provided through the internet. Additionally, the law authorizes ISPs to takemeasures to ensure the privacy of their users and provide virus protection and safety processes over their network, as long as these measures do not infringeantitrust laws. Additional measures have been implemented, including obligations related to consumer information, traffic management policies, internetquality of service requirements and notices required by law concerning the effective maximum and minimum traffic speeds offered under internet accessplans.In order to protect the constitutional rights of privacy and safety of communications, ISPs are prohibited from undertaking surveillance measures overdata content on their networks. Also, special summary proceedings have been created in order to safeguard intellectual property rights against violationscommitted through networks or digital systems. These proceedings include measures designed to withdraw, disqualify or block infringing content in theISP’s network or systems. The law also provides for the right of intellectual property owners to judicially request from ISPs the delivery of necessaryinformation to identify the provider of infringing content.A law passed in November 2017 requires all fixed and mobile ISPs to meet levels of quality of service to be defined in a future SubTel regulation. Thelaw also requires ISPs to guarantee a minimum broadband throughput based on the offered speed and to provide their subscribers a certified measurement toolallowing subscribers to verify this minimum service level, and imposes on ISPs fines or penalties if the service level is not fulfilled.Fixed-Line Telephony and Mobile Services. The provision of fixed-line telephony and mobile services requires a public telecommunications serviceconcession. With respect to mobile services, in 2009, SubTel awarded VTR a license for 30 MHz of spectrum in the 1700/2100 MHz frequency band for theprovision of wireless telephony services. The license has a 30-year renewable term. On January 15, 2014, SubTel initiated a proceeding against VTR based onits having allegedly “altered an essential element of its concession, particularly the type of service.” In this proceeding, SubTel asserted that VTR was not incompliance with the terms of its wireless license. SubTel alleged that the terms of the wireless license require VTR to comply with certain minimum networkcoverage and traffic levels. VTR disagreed with SubTel’s assertions regarding the terms of the wireless license and contested such assertions vigorously. Themaximum possible sanctions include “the termination of the concession.” The final ruling regarding this case is still pending.VTR has concessions to provide fixed-line telephony in most major and medium-sized markets in Chile. Telephony concessions are non-exclusive andhave renewable 30-year terms. The original term of VTR’s fixed- line telephony concessions expires in November 2025. Long distance telephony services areconsidered intermediate telecommunications services and, as such, are also regulated by the Ministry. VTR has concessions to provide this service, which isnon-exclusive, for a 30-year renewable term expiring in September 2025.There are no universal service obligations in Chile. However, local service concessionaires are obligated to provide telephony service to all customersthat are within their service area or are willing to pay for an extension to receive service. All local service providers, including VTR, must give long distancetelephony service providers equal access to their network connections at regulated prices and must interconnect with all other public service concessionaireswhose systems are technically compatible.As a general rule, fixed-line telephony service providers are free to establish the rates directly charged to their customers, unless the Chilean AntitrustAuthority concludes that due to a lack of sufficient competition in the market, rates should be fixed by SubTel. However, SubTel sets the maximum rates thatmay be charged by each operator for interconnect charges, access charges between operators for calls originating on one network that are completed throughconnections with one or more networks of other providers, and charges for network unbundling services. Rate regulation on interconnection charges isapplicable to all fixed-line and mobile telephony companies, including VTR. The determination of the maximum rates that may be charged by operators fortheir fixed-line or mobile services are made on a case-by-case basis by SubTel and are effective for five years.I-20 Other Chilean RegulationPrice Increase. The Consumer Rights Protection Law has been interpreted to require that any raise in rates exceeding inflation must be previouslyaccepted and agreed to by subscribers. Although VTR disagrees with this interpretation, in July 2012, VTR reached an agreement with Sernac that permitsVTR to make adjustments to its published prices twice per year to adjust for inflation, except those services that are subject to rate regulation. VTR isgenerally prohibited from increasing the rates over the inflation adjustment. VTR may, however, cancel a subscriber’s contract after 12 months and propose anew contract with new rate provisions. Once a year VTR may propose to its existing subscribers additional changes to their rates, which must be accepted bythe subscriber for the rates to go into effect.Bundling. In 2012, the Chilean Antitrust Authority issued its regulation governing the on-net/off-net pricing practice in the mobile industry and theoffering of bundled telecommunication services. Pursuant to the terms of this regulation, as revised by the Chilean Supreme Court, mobile services may besold jointly with fixed-line services. However, promotional discounts are not permitted for these double-play offers. As for traditional bundling over the sameplatform (e.g., bundled fixed-line services such as our double-play and triple-play packages, or bundled mobile services), this regulation provides that suchservices may be bundled, subject to certain price limitations. These limitations require that the total price for a bundle must be greater than the standaloneprice for the most expensive service included in the bundle. Also, when three or more services are bundled, the price for the bundle must be greater than thesum of the standalone prices for each service in the bundle, excluding the lowest priced service.Telecommunication Services Proposal. In February 2014, SubTel published a General Telecommunication Services Ruling that regulates the offer oftelecommunication services, including voice, internet access, and pay television, either alone or in bundles, from a consumer protection point of view. Theregulation introduced service billing, significant changes in contracts with customers, requirements regarding compensation in case of service failure, andrules regarding treatment of customers’ personal information.Minimum Standards on Quality of Service and Operation. Since 2013, SubTel has been drafting a proposed regulation regarding the TechnicalFundamental Plan on Maintenance and Public Service Telecommunications Network Managing. This draft seeks to impose minimum standards on quality ofservice and operation of telecommunications networks, in general, and in some particular services: voice services; text and multimedia messages services;data transmission services; minimum coverage for mobile services; and digital terrestrial television minimum coverage. We are uncertain when SubTel willpublish the final version of the plan.Consumer’s Rights Protection Law Amendment. In 2017, the Chilean Congress passed a bill assigning significant new powers to Sernac including amaterial increase in its ability to levy fines and compensations. However, it remains uncertain how or whether Sernac and SubTel will redefine theirrespective powers.Puerto RicoLiberty Puerto Rico is subject to regulation in Puerto Rico by various governmental entities at the Puerto Rico and the U.S. federal level, including theFederal Communications Commission (FCC). The Puerto Rico Telecommunications Regulatory Board (TRB), which was established in 1996, has primaryregulatory jurisdiction in Puerto Rico at the local level and is responsible for awarding franchises to cable operators for the provision of cable service inPuerto Rico and regulating cable television and telecommunications services.Our business in Puerto Rico is subject to comprehensive regulation under the United States Communications Act of 1934, as amended (theCommunications Act), which regulates communication, telecommunication and cable television services. The Communications Act also provides thegeneral legal framework for, among other things, the provision of telephone services, services related to interconnection between telephone carriers, andtelevision, radio, cable television and direct broadcast satellite services.The FCC and/or the TRB have the authority to impose sanctions, including warnings, fines, license revocations and, in certain specific cases, terminationof the franchise, although license revocation and franchise termination are rare. The Communications Act specifies causes for the termination of FCClicenses, including, for example, the failure to comply with license requirements and conditions or to pay fines or fees in a timely manner. Such sanctions bythe TRB and/or FCC can be appealed to, and reviewed by, Puerto Rican courts and U.S. federal courts.In Puerto Rico, antitrust regulation is governed by the U.S. Sherman Act, other federal antitrust legislation, and the Puerto Rico Anti-Monopoly Law. Inparticular, the Sherman Act seeks to prevent anti-competitive practices in the marketplace and requires governmental review of certain businesscombinations, among other things. The Puerto Rico Anti-Monopoly Law substantiallyI-21 parallels the Sherman Act and authorizes the Puerto Rico Department of Justice to investigate and impose competition-related conditions on transactions.Puerto Rico Law 5 of 1973, as amended, created the Puerto Rico Department of Consumer Affairs, which regulates marketing campaigns, publicity, andbreach of service contracts, and prohibits false advertising. The Puerto Rico Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Law 213), which created the TRB, requiresthat rates for telecommunication services be cost-based, forbids cross-subsidies and focuses on encouraging, preserving and enforcing competition in thecable and telecommunications markets. Although Law 213 does not require Liberty Puerto Rico to obtain any approval of rate increases for cable televisionor telecommunication services, any such increases must be in compliance with Law 213’s requirements, including notification to the TRB before suchincreases take effect.The video, internet and fixed-line telephony services that Liberty Puerto Rico provides are all subject to regulation:•Video. The provision of cable television services requires a franchise issued by the TRB. Franchises are subject to termination proceedings in theevent of a material breach or failure to comply with certain material provisions set forth in the franchise agreement governing a franchisee’s systemoperations, although such terminations are rare. In addition, franchises require payment of a franchise fee as a requirement to the grant of authority.Franchises establish comprehensive facilities and service requirements, as well as specific customer service standards and monetary penalties fornon- compliance. Franchises are generally granted for fixed terms of up to ten years and must be periodically renewed.Our pay television service in Puerto Rico is subject to, among other things, subscriber privacy regulations and must-carry andretransmission consent rights of broadcast stations. The Communications Act and FCC rules govern aspects of the carriage relationship betweenbroadcast television stations and cable companies. To ensure that every qualifying local television station can be received in its local marketwithout requiring a cable subscriber to switch between cable and off-air signals, the FCC allows every qualifying full-power television broadcaststation to require that all local cable systems transmit that station’s primary digital channel to their subscribers within the station’s market (the“must-carry” rule) pursuant to the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. Alternatively, a station may elect everythree years to forego its must carry rights and seek a negotiated agreement to establish the terms of its carriage by a local cable system, referred to asretransmission consent.•Internet. Liberty Puerto Rico offers high-speed internet access throughout its entire footprint. In March 2015, the FCC issued an order classifyingmass-market broadband internet access service as a “telecommunications service,” changing its long-standing treatment of this offering as an“information service,” which the FCC traditionally has subjected to limited regulation. The rules adopted by the FCC prohibited, among otherthings, broadband providers from: (i) blocking access to lawful content, applications, services or non-harmful devices; (ii) impairing or degradinglawful internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services or non-harmful devices; and (iii) favoring some lawful internet traffic over otherlawful internet traffic in exchange for consideration (collectively, 2015 Restrictions). In addition, the FCC prohibited broadband providers fromunreasonably interfering with users’ ability to access lawful content or use devices that do not harm the network, or with edge providers’ ability todisseminate their content, and imposed more detailed disclosure obligations on broadband providers than were previously in place. On December14, 2017, the FCC adopted a Declaratory Ruling, Report and Order (the 2017 Order) that, in large part, reversed the regulations issued by the FCCin 2015. The 2017 Order, among other things, restores the classifications of broadband Internet access as an information service under Title I of theCommunications Act, and mobile broadband Internet access service as a private mobile service, and eliminates the 2015 Restrictions. The 2017Order does require ISPs to disclose information to consumers regarding practices such as throttling, paid prioritization and affiliated prioritization,and restores broadband consumer protection authority to the Federal Trade Commission. The formal period for filing petitions for judicial review ofthe 2017 Order in federal court and petitions for reconsideration at the FCC will begin on the date that a summary of the 2017 Order is published inthe Federal Register, which has not occurred. A number of state Attorneys General and public interest groups already have filed preliminary appealsof the 2017 Order in federal courts. Additional judicial appeals and petitions for reconsideration of the 2017 Order likely will be filed in federalcourts and at the FCC, respectively, during the formal filing period. Legislative proposals regarding the net neutrality rules also are pending inCongress.•Fixed-Line Telephony Services. Liberty Puerto Rico offers fixed-line telephony services, including both circuit-switched telephony and VoIP. Itscircuit-switched telephony services are subject to FCC and local regulations regarding the quality and technical aspects of service. All localtelecommunications providers, including Liberty Puerto Rico, are obligated to provide telephony service to all customers within the service area,subject to certain exceptions under FCC regulations, and must give long distance telephony service providers equal access to their network. Underthe Communications Act, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), like us, may require interconnection with the incumbent local exchangecarrier (ILEC), and the ILEC must negotiate a reasonable and nondiscriminatory interconnection agreement with theI-22 CLEC. Such arrangement requires the ILEC to interconnect with the CLEC at any technically feasible point within the ILEC’s network, provideaccess to unbundled network elements of the ILEC’s network, offer for resale at wholesale rates any telecommunication services the ILEC providesto its own retail clients, and allow physical collocation of the CLEC’s equipment in the ILEC’s facilities to permit interconnection or access tounbundled network element services. Therefore, we have the right to interconnect with the incumbent local exchange carrier Puerto Rico Telcom(PRTC). We have negotiated an interconnection agreement with PRTC, and the physical interconnection between both companies has beenactivated.All of the circuit-switched telephony and VoIP services of Liberty Puerto Rico are subject to a charge for the Federal Universal ServiceFund (USF), which is a fund created under the Communications Act to subsidize telecommunication services in high-cost areas, to providetelecommunications services for low-income consumers, and to provide certain subsidies for schools, libraries and rural healthcare facilities. TheFCC has redirected the focus of USF to support broadband deployment in high-cost areas. In addition, our circuit-switched telephony and VoIPservices are subject to a charge for a local Puerto Rico Universal Service Fund, which was created by law to subsidize telecommunications servicesfor low-income families under the Federal USF Lifeline and Link-Up programs.The FCC has adopted other regulations for VoIP services, including the requirement that interconnected VoIP providers and facilities-basedbroadband internet access providers must comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, which requires carriers to providecertain assistance to federal law enforcement authorities. VoIP providers are also required to offer basic and enhanced 911 emergency callingservices, which requires disclosure to all VoIP customers. VoIP providers are also subject to federal customer proprietary network information rulesrelated to customer privacy.CompetitionWe operate in an emerging region of the world, where market penetration of telecommunication services such as broadband and mobile data is lowerthan in more developed markets. Generally, our markets are at a nascent stage of the global shift to a “data-centric” world. Although there has been stronggrowth in data consumption in our key markets, data consumption in our operating regions still lags significantly when compared to internationalbenchmarks. We believe that we have the opportunity to capitalize upon this underlying growth trend in the majority of our markets, and benefit fromincreasing penetration of our data services, as well as economic growth, in all of our markets.However, technological advances and product innovations have increased and are likely to continue to increase giving customers several options for theprovision of their telecommunications services. Our customers want access to high quality telecommunication services that allow for seamless connectivity.Accordingly, our ability to offer converged services (video, internet, fixed telephony and mobile) is a key component of our strategy. In many of our markets,we compete with companies that provide converged services, as well as companies that are established in one or more communication products and services.Consequently, our businesses face significant competition. In all markets, we seek to differentiate our telecommunications services by focusing on customerservice, competitive pricing and offering quality high-speed internet.Mobile and Telephony ServicesConsumers are increasingly moving to mobile services. In many of our markets we are either the leading or one of the leading mobile providers, except inChile where we are a relatively new entrant in the provision of mobile services. In the markets where we are one of the top mobile providers, we continue toseek additional bandwidth to deliver our wide range of services to our customers and increase our LTE services. We face competition in all of our markets.We also offer various calling plans, such as unlimited network, national or international calling, unlimited off-peak calling and minute packages, includingcalls to fixed and mobile phones. In addition, we use our bundled offers with our video and high-speed internet services to gain mobile subscribers. Ourability to offer fixed-mobile convergence services is a key driver. In several of our markets, we expect to increase focus on converged services, includingmobile, fixed-line, broadband and video. We are also exploring opportunities to offer mobile services in markets where we currently only deliver fixedproducts and mobility applications to our other services.The market for fixed-line telephony services is mature in almost all of our markets. Changes in market share are driven by the combination of price andquality of services provided and the inclusion of telephony services in bundled offerings. In most of our C&W markets, we are the incumbenttelecommunications provider with long established customer relationships. In our other markets, our fixed-line telephony services compete against theincumbent telecommunications operator in the applicable market. In these markets, the incumbent operators have substantially more experience in providingfixed-line telephony, greater resources to devote to the provision of such services and long-standing customer relationships. In all of our markets, we alsocompete with VoIP operators offering services across broadband lines and over-the-top (OTT) telephony providers, such as WhatsApp. In manyI-23 countries, our businesses also face competition from other cable telephony providers, FTTx-based providers or other indirect access providers.Competition exists in both the residential and business fixed-line telephony products due to market trends, the offering of carrier pre-select services,number portability, the replacement of fixed-line with mobile telephony and the growth of VoIP services, as well as continued deregulation of telephonymarkets and other regulatory action, such as general price competition. Carrier pre-select allows the end user to choose the voice services of operators otherthan the incumbent while using the incumbent’s network. Our fixed-line telephony strategy is focused around value leadership, and we position our servicesas “anytime” or “any destination.” Our portfolio of calling plans includes a variety of innovative calling options designed to meet the needs of oursubscribers. In many of our markets, we provide product innovation, such as telephone applications that allow customers to make and receive calls from theirfixed-line call packages on smart phones. In addition, we offer varying plans to meet customer needs and, similar to our mobile services, we use our telephonybundle options with our digital video and internet services to help promote our telephony services and flat rate offers are standard.VTR faces competition from the incumbent telecommunications operator, Movistar (as defined below), and other telecommunications operators.Movistar has substantial experience in providing telephony services, resources to devote to the provision of telephony services and long-standing customerrelationships. Price is a key factor as are bundles with quality services. We distinguish our services by delivering reliable market leading internet accessspeeds with attractive bundled offers.Movistar, Claro (as defined below) and Entel (as defined below) are the primary companies that offer mobile telephony in Chile. In mid-2015, WOM S.A.(WOM) entered the mobile services market through its acquisition of the Nextel Chile network. WOM is exerting significant competitive pressure in themobile market with its very aggressive price offers. Such pricing is driving down sales and increasing churn in the mobile market. As an MVNO, VTR offersits mobile services on a standalone basis. To attract and retain customers, VTR focuses on its triple-play customer base, offering them postpaid mobileaccounts at an attractive price.With respect to mobile services, we face competition from Digicel Group Ltd. (Digicel) in most of our C&W residential markets and in Panama. We alsocompete with subsidiaries of Telefónica, S.A. (e.g., the incumbent Chilean telecommunications operator under the brand name Movistar (Movistar)) andAmérica Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (Claro) in Chile and Panama. In addition, in the Bahamas, where C&W had previously been the only provider of mobileservices, competition has increased significantly due to the commercial launch of mobile services by a competitor during the fourth quarter of 2016. We alsoface competition in the provision of broadband services from Cable Onda S.A. (Cable Onda) in Panama, Digicel in our Caribbean markets and CableBahamas Limited (Cable Bahamas) in the Bahamas. These companies all have competitive pricing on similar services, and the intensified level ofcompetition we are experiencing in several of our markets has added increased pressure on the pricing of our services. To attract and retain customers, C&Wfocuses on providing quality services and premium content, as well as converged services where customers can access content in and out-of-the home.Video DistributionOur video services compete primarily with traditional free-to-air (FTA) broadcast television services, DTH satellite service providers and other fixed-linetelecommunications carriers and broadband providers, including operations offering (i) services over hybrid fiber coaxial networks, (ii) DTH satelliteservices, (iii) internet protocol television (IPTV) over broadband internet connections using asymmetric DSL or VDSL or an enhancement to VDSL called“vectoring,” (iv) IPTV over FTTx networks, or (v) LTE Services. Many of these competitors have a national footprint and offer features, pricing and videoservices individually and in bundles comparable to what we offer. In certain markets, we also compete with other cable or FTTx based providers who haveoverbuilt portions of our systems.OTT aggregators utilizing our or our competitors’ high-speed internet connections are also a significant competitive factor as are other video serviceproviders that overlap our service areas. The OTT video aggregators (such as HBO Go, Amazon Prime and Netflix) offer VoD service for television series andmovies, catch-up television and linear channels from broadcasters. In some cases, these OTT services are provided free-of-charge. The content library of suchservices is offered on an unlimited basis for a monthly fee. Typically these services are available on multiple devices in and out of the home. To enhance ourcompetitive position, we are developing cloud-based, next generation user interfaces based on advanced technologies and are providing our subscribers withTV everywhere products and premium OTT video services. Our businesses also compete to varying degrees with other sources of information andentertainment, such as online entertainment, newspapers, magazines, books, live entertainment/concerts and sporting events.Piracy and other unauthorized uses and distribution of content, including through web-based OTT applications, devices and online platforms, alsopresent challenges for our video business. These platforms illegally stream copyrighted content, for example, Premier League games that can be viewed byanyone with an internet connection. While piracy is a challenge in most jurisdictionsI-24 in which we operate, it is particularly prevalent in jurisdictions that lack developed copyright laws and effective enforcement of copyright laws.We believe that our deep-fiber access, where available, provides us with several competitive advantages. For instance, our cable networks allow us toconcurrently deliver internet access, together with real-time television and VoD content, without impairing our high-speed internet service. In addition, ourcable infrastructure in most of our footprint allows us to provide triple-play bundled services of broadband internet, television and fixed-line telephonyservices without relying on a third-party service provider or network. Where mobile is available, our mobile networks, together with our fixed fiber-richnetworks, allow us to provide a comprehensive set of converged mobile and fixed-line services. Our capacity is designed to support peak consumer demand.In serving the business market, many aspects of the network can be leveraged at very low incremental costs given that business demand peaks at a time whenconsumer demand is low, and peaks at lower levels than consumer demand. In response to the continued growth in OTT viewing, we have launched a numberof innovative video services, including Flow ToGo and +TV Go in a number of C&W markets.Our ability to continue to attract and retain customers depends on our continued ability to acquire appealing content and services on acceptable termsand to have such content available on multiple devices and outside the home. Some competitors have obtained long-term exclusive contracts for certainsports programs, which limits the opportunities for other providers to offer such programs. Other competitors also have obtained long-term exclusivecontracts for programs, but our operations have limited access to certain of such programming through select contracts with those companies. If exclusivecontent offerings increase through other providers, programming options could be a deciding factor for subscribers on selecting a video service.In this competitive environment, we enhance our offers with advanced digital services, such as DVR functionality, HD channels, VoD and multiscreenservices. In addition, we offer attractive content packages tailored to the particular market and discounts for bundled services. To improve the quality of theprogramming in our packages, our operations periodically modify their digital channel offerings. Where mobile is available, we are focusing on ourconverged service offerings at attractive prices. We use these services, as well as bundles of our fixed-line services, as a means of driving video and otherproducts where convenience and price can be leveraged across the portfolio of services.•C&W. C&W competes with a variety of pay TV service providers, with several of these competitors offering double-play and triple-play packages.Fixed-mobile convergence services are not a significant factor in most of C&W’s residential markets. In several of C&W’s other markets, includingJamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados, C&W is the largest or one of the largest video service providers. In these markets, C&W’s primarycompetition is from DTH providers, such as DIRECTV Latin America Holdings, Inc. (DirecTV), and operators of IPTV services over VDSL andFTTx, such as Digicel. In Panama, C&W competes primarily with Cable Onda, which offers video, internet and fixed-line telephony over its cablenetwork, and with the DTH services of Claro Americas. To compete effectively, C&W invests in leading mobile and fixed networks, and in content,where the Premier League is a main attraction for Flow Sports.•VTR. VTR competes primarily with DTH service providers, including the incumbent Chilean telecommunications operator Movistar, Claro ChileS.A., a subsidiary of Claro, Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. (Entel), GTD Manquehue (GTD) and DirecTV, among others. Movistaroffers double-play and triple-play packages using DTH for video and DSL for internet and fixed-line telephony and offers mobile services. On asmaller scale, Movistar also offers IPTV services over FTTx networks in Chile. Claro offers triple-play packages using DTH and, in most major citiesin Chile, through a hybrid fiber coaxial cable network. It also offers mobile services. To a lesser extent, VTR also competes with video servicesoffered by or over networks of fixed-line telecommunication providers using DSL technology. To compete effectively, VTR focuses on enhancingits subscribers viewing options in and out of the home. It offers VoD, catch-up television, DVR functionality, Horizon TV and a variety of premiumchannels. These services and its variety of bundled options, including internet and telephony, enhance VTR’s competitive position.•Liberty Puerto Rico. Liberty Puerto Rico is the largest provider of fixed-line video services in Puerto Rico. Liberty Puerto Rico’s primarycompetition for video customers is from DTH satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network Corporation (Dish Network). Dish Network is anaggressive competitor, offering low introductory offers, free HD channels and, in its top tier packages, a multi-room DVR service for free. DirecTV isalso a significant competitor offering similar programming in Puerto Rico compared to Dish Network. In order to compete, Liberty Puerto Ricofocuses on offering video packages with attractive programming, including HD and Spanish language channels, plus a specialty video package ofSpanish-only channels that has gained popularity. In addition, Liberty Puerto Rico uses its bundled offers that include high-speed internet withdownload speeds of up to 300 Mbps to drive its video services.I-25 InternetWith respect to broadband internet services and online content, our businesses face competition in a rapidly evolving marketplace from incumbent andnon-incumbent telecommunications companies, mobile operators and cable-based ISPs, many of which have substantial resources. The internet servicesoffered by these competitors include both fixed-line broadband internet services using cable, DSL or FTTx networks and wireless broadband internetservices. These competitors have a range of product offerings with varying speeds and pricing, as well as interactive services, data and other non-videoservices offered to homes and businesses. With the demand for mobile internet services increasing, competition from wireless services using various advancedtechnologies is a competitive factor. In several of our markets, competitors offer high-speed mobile data via LTE wireless networks. In addition, other wirelesstechnologies, such as WiFi, are available in almost all of our markets. In this intense competitive environment, speed and pricing are key drivers forcustomers.Our strategy is speed leadership. Our focus is on increasing the maximum speed of our connections as well as offering varying tiers of service, prices anda variety of bundled product offerings and a range of value added services. We update our bundles and packages on an ongoing basis to meet the needs of ourcustomers. Our top download speeds generally range from 100 Mbps to speeds of up to 300 Mbps. In Barbados, we also have speeds of up to 1 Gbpsavailable. In many of our markets, we offer the highest download speeds available via our cable and FTTx networks. The focus is on high-end internetproducts to safeguard our high-end customer base and allow us to become more aggressive at the low- and medium-end of the internet market. By fullyutilizing the technical capabilities of DOCSIS 3.0 technology on our cable systems, we can compete with local FTTx initiatives and create a competitiveadvantage compared to DSL infrastructures and LTE initiatives on a national level. With the commercial deployment of our next generation gateways thatwill enable DOCSIS 3.1 on our cable networks, we plan to further increase our high-speed internet offers.In several of our C&W markets, we are the incumbent phone company offering broadband internet products using various DSL-based technologies. Inthese markets and our other Latin American markets, our key competition for internet services is from cable and IPTV operators and mobile data serviceproviders. To compete effectively, we are expanding our LTE service areas and increasing our download speeds. In most of our markets, we offer our internetservice through bundled offerings that include video and fixed-line telephony. We also offer a wide range of mobile products either on a prepaid or postpaidbasis.•C&W. Where C&W is the incumbent telecommunications provider, it competes with cable operators, the largest of which are Cable Onda in Panamaand Cable Bahamas in the Bahamas. To a lesser extent, C&W experiences competition from Digicel in certain of its markets. To distinguish itselffrom these competitors, C&W uses its bundled offers with video and telephony to promote its broadband internet services.•VTR. VTR faces competition primarily from non-cable-based ISPs, such as Movistar and Entel, and from other cable-based providers, such as Claroand GTD. Competition is particularly intense with each of these companies offering competitively priced services, including bundled offers withhigh-speed internet services. Mobile broadband competition is significant as well. Movistar, Claro and Entel have launched LTE networks for high-speed mobile data. To compete effectively, VTR is expanding its two-way coverage and offering attractive bundling with fixed-line telephony anddigital video service and high-speed internet with download speeds of up to 300 Mbps.•Liberty Puerto Rico. Liberty Puerto Rico competes primarily with mobile broadband providers. Most of these providers, including the incumbenttelecommunications company, offer these services over their LTE networks. To compete with mobile broadband providers, Liberty Puerto Ricooffers its high-speed internet with download speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Liberty Puerto Rico also competes with the DSL services of Claro inproviding fixed-line internet services.Business and Wholesale ServicesThrough C&W, we provide a variety of advanced, point-to-point, clear channel broadband capacity, IP, Multiprotocol Label Switching, Ethernet andmanaged services over our owned and operated, technologically advanced, sub-sea fiber optic cable network. Our sub-sea and terrestrial fiber routes combineto form a series of fully integrated networks that typically provide complete operational redundancy, stability and reliability, allowing us in most cases toprovide our clients with superior service and minimal network downtime. Given the advanced technical state of the network combined with the challenges insecuring the necessary governmental and environmental licenses in all of our operating markets, we believe the network is unlikely to be replicated in theregion. Competing networks in the region connect fewer countries than we do and are either linear in design, or if ringed, have high latency protection routes.In addition, our network as of December 31, 2017, utilized less than 10% of its design capacity, and we believe that our ability to take advantage of this largeunused carrying capacity, as well as the financial and time investment required to build a similar network, and the potential delays associated with acquiringgovernmental permissions, makes it unlikely that our network will be replicated in the near term.I-26 We compete in the provision of B2B services with residential telecommunications operators as noted above, in addition to regional and internationalservice providers, particularly when addressing larger customers.EmployeesAs of December 31, 2017, we, including our consolidated subsidiaries, had an aggregate of approximately 10,300 full-time equivalent employees,certain of whom belong to organized unions and works council. We believe that our employee relations are good.Financial Information About Geographic AreasFinancial information related to the geographic areas in which we do business appears in note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included inPart II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Available InformationAll our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as amendments to such filings, are available on our internet website free ofcharge generally within 24 hours after we file such material with the SEC. Our website address is www.lla.com. The information on our website is not part ofthis Annual Report on Form 10-K and is not incorporated by reference herein.Item 1A.RISK FACTORSIn addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, you should consider the following risk factors in evaluating ourresults of operations, financial condition, business and operations or an investment in the shares of our company.The risk factors described in this section have been separated into six groups:•risks that relate to our corporate history and structure;•risks that relate to the competition we face and the technology used in our businesses;•risks that relate to our operating in overseas markets and being subject to foreign and domestic regulation;•risks that relate to certain financial matters;•risks relating to the Split-Off; and•risks relating to our common shares and the securities market.Although we describe below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K the risks we consider to be the most material, there may be otherunknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that also could have material adverse effects on our results ofoperations, financial condition, businesses or operations in the future. In addition, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of futureperformance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.If any of the events described below, individually or in combination, were to occur, our businesses, prospects, financial condition, results of operationsand/or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.Risks that Relate to Our Corporate History and StructureThe consolidated financial statements of Liberty Latin America are not necessarily representative of Liberty Latin America’s future financial position,future results of operations or future cash flows nor does it reflect what Liberty Latin America’s financial position, results of operations or cash flowswould have been as a standalone company during the periods presented.Because the consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of Liberty Latin America, as conducted by Liberty Global prior to the Split-Off, it is not necessarily representative of Liberty Latin America’s future financial position, future results of operations or future cash flows, nor does itnecessarily reflect what Liberty Latin America’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been as a standalone company, pursuingindependent strategies, during the periods presented.I-27 We are a holding company, and we could be unable in the future to obtain cash in amounts sufficient to service our financial obligations or meet ourother commitments.Our ability to meet our financial obligations at the parent company level depends upon our ability to access cash. As a holding company, our sources ofcash are limited to our available cash balances, net cash from the operating activities of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that are available to us, any cashdividends and cash interest we may receive from our other subsidiaries and cash proceeds from any asset sales we may undertake in the future. The ability ofour operating subsidiaries to pay cash dividends or to make other cash payments or advances to us depends on their individual operating results and anystatutory, regulatory or contractual restrictions to which they may be or may become subject.We have no operating history as a separate company upon which you can evaluate our performance.We do not have operating history as a separate public company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our business strategy will be successful on along-term basis. We may not be able to grow our businesses as planned and may not be profitable.We have not performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As we are a newcompany, we are currently in the process of reviewing, documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting. We have not performed anevaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, as set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, nor have we engaged anindependent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of any balance sheet date or for anyperiod reported in our financial statements.Risks that Relate to the Competition we Face and the Technology Used in Our BusinessesWe operate in increasingly competitive markets, and there is a risk that we will not be able to effectively compete with other service providers.The markets for cable television, broadband internet, telephony and mobile services are highly competitive. In the provision of video services, we facecompetition from FTA and digital terrestrial television (DTT) broadcasters, DTH satellite providers, networks using DSL, VDSL or vectoring technology,Multi-channel Multipoint Distribution System operators, FTTx networks, OTT video content aggregators, and, in some countries where parts of our systemsare overbuilt, cable networks, among others. Our operating businesses are facing increasing competition from video services provided by, or over thenetworks of, other telecommunications operators and service providers. As the availability and speed of broadband internet increases, we also facecompetition from OTT providers, including telephony providers such as WhatsApp, utilizing our or our competitors’ high-speed internet connections. Someof these content providers offer services without charging a fee, which erodes relationships with customers and leads to a downward pressure on prices andreturns for telecommunication services providers. In the provision of telephony and broadband internet services, we are experiencing increasing competitionfrom other telecommunications operators and other service providers in each country in which we operate, as well as other mobile providers of voice anddata. Many of the other operators offer double-play, triple-play and quadruple-play bundles of services. In many countries, we also compete with otherfacilities-based operators and wireless providers. Developments in wireless technologies, such as LTE (the next generation of ultra-high-speed mobile data)and WiFi, are creating additional competitive challenges.In almost all cases, our licenses are not exclusive. As a result, our competitors have similar licenses and have and may continue to build systems andprovide services in areas in which we hold licenses. In the case of cable- and broadband-enabled services, the existence of more than one cable systemoperating in the same territory is referred to as an “overbuild.” Overbuilds could increase competition or create competition where none existed previously,either of which could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations.In some of our markets, national and local government agencies may seek to become involved, either directly or indirectly, in the establishment of FTTxnetworks, DTT systems or other communications systems. We intend to pursue available options to restrict such involvement or to ensure that suchinvolvement is on commercially reasonable terms. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these pursuits. As a result, we may facecompetition from entities not requiring a normal commercial return on their investments. In addition, we may face more vigorous competition than wouldhave been the case if there were no such government involvement.I-28 We expect the level and intensity of competition to continue to increase from both existing competitors and new market entrants as a result of changes inthe regulatory framework of the industries in which we operate, advances in technology, the influx of new market entrants and strategic alliances andcooperative relationships among industry participants. Increased competition could result in increased customer churn, reductions of customer acquisitionrates for some products and services and significant price and promotional competition. In combination with difficult economic environments, thesecompetitive pressures could adversely impact our business, results of operations and cash flows.Changes in technology may limit the competitiveness of and demand for our services.Technology in the video, telecommunications and data services industries is changing rapidly, including advances in current technologies and theemergence of new technologies. New technologies, products and services may impact consumer behavior and therefore demand for our products and services.Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and consumer tastes and to develop and introduce new and enhanced products and services on a timely basiswill affect our ability to continue to grow, increase our revenue and number of customers and remain competitive. New products and services, once marketed,may not meet consumer expectations or demand, can be subject to delays in development and may fail to operate as intended. A lack of market acceptance ofnew products and services that we may offer, or the development of significant competitive products or services by others, could have a material adverseimpact on our results of operations and cash flows.Our significant property and equipment additions may not generate a positive return.Significant additions to our property and equipment are, or in the future may be, required to add customers to our networks and to upgrade or expand ourbroadband communications networks and upgrade customer premises equipment to enhance our service offerings and improve the customer experience.Additions to our property and equipment, which are currently underway, including in connection with Network Extensions, require significant capitalexpenditures for equipment and associated labor costs to build out and/or upgrade our networks as well as for related customer premises equipment.Additionally, significant competition, the introduction of new technologies, the expansion of existing technologies, such as FTTx and advanced DSLtechnologies, the impact of natural disasters like hurricanes, or adverse regulatory developments could cause us to decide to undertake previously unplannedbuilds or upgrades of our networks and customer premises equipment. For example, in September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused significantdestruction to our networks in certain markets, including Puerto Rico, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Antigua, which will require us to rebuildportions of our networks in those markets. For more information regarding the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, see Item 7. Management’s Discussionand Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Impacts of Hurricanes.No assurance can be given that any rebuilds, upgrades or extensions of our network will increase penetration rates, increase average monthlysubscription revenue per average cable RGU or mobile subscriber, as applicable, or otherwise generate positive returns as anticipated, or that we will haveadequate capital available to finance such rebuilds, upgrades or extensions. Additionally, costs related to our Network Extensions and property andequipment additions could end up being greater than originally anticipated or planned. If this is the case, we may require additional financing sooner thananticipated or we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. Additionalfinancing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and our ability to incur additional debt will be limited by our debt agreements. If we are unableto, or elect not to, pay for costs associated with adding new customers, expanding, extending or upgrading our networks or making other planned orunplanned additions to our property and equipment, or are delayed in making such investments, our growth could be limited and our competitive positioncould be harmed.We depend almost exclusively on our relationships with third-party programming providers and broadcasters for programming content, and a failureto acquire a wide selection of popular programming on acceptable terms could adversely affect our business.The success of our video subscription business depends, in large part, on our ability to provide a wide selection of popular programming to oursubscribers. We generally do not produce our own content and we depend on our agreements, relationships and cooperation with public and privatebroadcasters and collective rights associations to obtain such content. If we fail to obtain a diverse array of popular programming for our pay televisionservices, including a sufficient selection of HD channels as well as non-linear content (such as a selection of attractive VoD content and rights for ancillaryservices such as DVRs and catch up or ‘Replay’ services), on satisfactory terms, we may not be able to offer a compelling video product to our customers at aprice they are willing to pay. Additionally, we are frequently negotiating and renegotiating programming agreements and our annual costs for programmingcan vary. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renegotiate or renew the terms of our programming agreements on acceptable terms or at all. Weexpect that programming and copyright costs will continue to rise in future periods as a result of (i) higher costs associated with the expansion of our digitalvideo content, including rights associated with ancillary product offerings and rights that provide for the broadcast of live sporting events and rate increases,and (ii) the growth in the number of our enhanced video subscribers.I-29 If we are unable to obtain or retain attractively priced competitive content, demand for our existing and future television services could decrease, therebylimiting our ability to attract new customers, maintain existing customers and/or migrate customers from lower tier programming to higher tier programming,thereby inhibiting our ability to execute our business plans. Furthermore, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage if certain of our competitors obtainexclusive programming rights, particularly with respect to popular sports and movie programming, and as certain entrants in the OTT market increasinglyproduce their own exclusive content.In addition, we are party to several legal proceedings arising out of the regular course of our business, including legal proceedings before regulatory andtax authorities, proceedings that programmers may institute against us and proceedings that may arise from acquisitions and other transactions we mayconsummate. For example, certain copyright agencies have asserted, and may in the future assert, claims against us and our subsidiaries regarding thetransmission of any of the musical works within such agencies’ repertoire. Such claims seek injunctive relief as well as monetary damages. We cannot assureyou that we will obtain a final favorable decision with regard to any particular proceeding. A negative outcome in one or more pending proceedings or anyfuture proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.We depend on third-party suppliers and licensors to supply and maintain necessary equipment, software and certain services required for ourbusinesses.We rely on third-party vendors for the equipment (including customer premises equipment, network infrastructure and mobile handsets), software andservices that we require in order to provide services to our customers. Our suppliers often conduct business worldwide and their ability to meet our needs issubject to various risks, including political and economic instability, natural calamities, interruptions in transportation systems, terrorism and labor issues. Inaddition, we rely on third parties (in particular, local municipalities, power companies and other telecommunications companies) for access to poles to attachour network equipment, and their ability to provide such access is subject to similar risks. As a result, we may not be able to obtain the equipment, software,access and services required for our businesses on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms. Any shortfall in our equipment could lead to delays in completingextensions to our networks and in connecting customers to our services and, accordingly, could adversely impact our ability to maintain or increase ourRGUs, revenue and cash flows. Also, if demand exceeds the suppliers’ and licensors’ capacity or if they experience financial difficulties, the ability of ourbusinesses to provide some services may be materially adversely affected, which in turn could affect our businesses’ ability to attract and retain customers. Tothe extent that we have minimum order commitments, we would be adversely affected in the event that we were unable to resell committed products orotherwise decline to accept committed products. Although we actively monitor the creditworthiness of our key third-party suppliers and licensors, thefinancial failure of a key third-party supplier or licensor could disrupt our operations and have an adverse impact on our revenue and cash flows. We relyupon intellectual property that is owned or licensed by us to use various technologies, conduct our operations and sell our products and services. Legalchallenges could be made against our use of our owned or licensed intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, patents and trade secrets) and we may berequired to enter into licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, incur monetary damages or be enjoined from use of the intellectual property rights inquestion.In addition, the operation, administration, maintenance and repair of our network, including our sub-sea cable network, requires the coordination andintegration of sophisticated and highly specialized hardware and software technologies and equipment located throughout the Caribbean and Latin Americaand requires operating and capital expenses. Events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, technological failures, vandalism, war, terrorism,inadvertent cuts or extraordinary social or political events, could impact the continued operation of our network. We cannot assure you that our systems willcontinue to function as expected in a cost-effective manner.VTR, which offers mobile telephony and data services, relies on the radio access network of a third-party wireless network provider to carry its mobilecommunications traffic.VTR’s services to mobile customers in Chile rely on the use of an MVNO arrangement in which VTR utilizes the radio access network of a third-partywireless network provider to carry its mobile communications traffic. If the MVNO arrangement is terminated, or if the third-party wireless network providerfails to provide the services required under the MVNO arrangement, or if a third-party wireless network provider fails to deploy and maintain its network, andVTR is unable to find a replacement network operator on a timely and commercially reasonable basis or at all, VTR could be prevented from continuing themobile services relying on such MVNO arrangement.Failure in our technology or telecommunications systems from security attacks or natural disasters could significantly disrupt our operations, whichcould reduce our customer base and result in lost revenue.Our success depends, in part, on the continued and uninterrupted performance of our information technology and network systems as well as ourcustomer service centers. The hardware supporting a large number of critical systems for our cable networkI-30 in a particular country or geographic region is housed in a relatively small number of locations. Our systems and equipment (including our routers and set-topboxes) are vulnerable to damage or security breach from a variety of sources, including a cut in our terrestrial network or sub-sea cable network,telecommunications failures, power loss, malicious human acts, security flaws and natural disasters.In particular, our systems and equipment are in regions prone to hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters, and they have been impacted byhurricanes in the recent past. In early October 2016, our fixed-line and mobile networks in the Bahamas suffered extensive damage as a result of HurricaneMatthew, which caused our customers to experience significant outages. In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted a number of our markets inthe Caribbean, resulting in varying degrees of damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure in these markets. The most extensive damage occurred inPuerto Rico and certain markets within our C&W reportable segment. In Puerto Rico, the damage caused by Hurricane Maria, and to a lesser extent HurricaneIrma, was extensive and widespread. Liberty Puerto Rico’s broadband communications network suffered extensive damage. As of December 31, 2017, wehave been able to restore service to approximately 340,000 RGUs of our total 738,500 RGUs at Liberty Puerto Rico. Our assessment of the losses attributableto the hurricanes in Puerto Rico is ongoing and is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the length of time it will take to restore Puerto Rico’s powerand transmission system and fully restore our network, the number of customers and potential customers that will choose to leave Puerto Rico for an extendedperiod or permanently, and the ability of the Puerto Rico and U.S. governments to effectively oversee the recovery process. We estimate that approximately$130 million of property and equipment additions is required to restore nearly all of Liberty Puerto Rico’s broadband communications network,approximately $50 million of which was incurred during the fourth quarter. In certain of our C&W markets, most notably in the British Virgin Islands,Dominica and Anguilla, portions of our fixed and mobile networks were significantly damaged by Hurricanes Maria and Irma. Services to most of our fixed-line customers in these C&W markets have not yet been restored. We currently estimate that approximately $50 million of property and equipment additionsis required to restore nearly all of the damaged networks in C&W’s impacted markets, approximately $13 million of which was incurred during the fourthquarter. Although these negative impacts will decline as the networks are restored and customers are reconnected, we expect that the adverse impacts of thehurricanes on C&W’s revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined in note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II of this Annual Reporton Form 10-K) will continue through 2018 and beyond.Moreover, despite security measures, our servers, systems and equipment are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses,worms, phishing attacks and similar disruptive actions. Furthermore, our operating activities could be subject to risks caused by misappropriation, misuse,leakage, falsification or accidental release or loss of information maintained in our information technology systems and networks and those of our third-partyvendors, including customer, personnel and vendor data. As a result of the increasing awareness concerning the importance of safeguarding personalinformation, the potential misuse of such information and legislation that has been adopted or is being considered across all of our markets regarding theprotection, privacy and security of personal information, information-related risks are increasing, particularly for businesses like ours that handle a largeamount of personal customer data. Failure to comply with these data protection laws may result in, among other consequences, fines.Our disaster recovery, security and service continuity protection measures include back-up power systems, resilient ring network systems, procuringcapacity in competing networks to further strengthen our reliability profile and network monitoring. We also are party to the Atlantic Cable Maintenance andRepair Agreement, which provides us with certain dedicated repair vessels and timely call out services with respect to our sub-sea cables through to thepresent. We cannot assure you, however, that these precautions will be sufficient to prevent loss of data or prolonged network downtime or that we will beable to renegotiate arrangements with the Atlantic Cable Maintenance and Repair Agreement on successful terms.Despite the precautions we have taken, unanticipated problems affecting our systems could cause failures in our information technology systems ordisruption in the transmission of signals over our networks or similar problems. Any disruptive situation that causes loss, misappropriation, misuse or leakageof data could damage our reputation and the credibility of our operations. Further, sustained or repeated system failures that interrupt our ability to provideservice to our customers or otherwise meet our business obligations in a timely manner could adversely affect our reputation and result in a loss of customersand revenue.We rely on information technology to operate our business and maintain our competitiveness, and any failure to invest in and adapt to technologicaldevelopments and industry trends could harm our business.We depend on the use of sophisticated information technologies and systems, including technology and systems used for website and mobileapplications, network management systems, financial reporting, human resources and various other processes and transactions. As our operations grow insize, scope and complexity, we must continuously improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to offer an increasing number of customers enhancedproducts, services, features and functionality, while maintaining or improving the reliability and integrity of our systems and infrastructure.I-31 Our future success also depends on our ability to adapt our services and infrastructure to meet rapidly evolving consumer trends and demands whilecontinuing to improve the performance, features and reliability of our services in response to competitive service and product offerings. The emergence ofalternative platforms such as smartphone and tablet computing devices and the emergence of niche competitors who may be able to optimize products,services or strategies for such platforms have, and will continue to, require new and costly investments in technology. We may not be successful, or may beless successful than our current or new competitors, in developing technology that operates effectively across multiple devices and platforms and that isappealing to consumers, either of which would negatively impact our business and financial performance. New developments in other areas, such as cloudcomputing and software as a service provider, could also make it easier for competition to enter our markets due to lower up-front technology costs. Inaddition, we may not be able to maintain our existing systems or replace or introduce new technologies and systems as quickly as customers would like or ina cost-effective manner.Unauthorized access to our network resulting in piracy could result in a loss of revenue.We rely on the integrity of our technology to ensure that our services are provided only to identifiable paying customers. Increasingly, sophisticatedmeans of illicit piracy of television, broadband and telephony services are continually being developed in response to evolving technologies. Furthermore,billing and revenue generation for television services rely on the proper functioning of encryption systems. While we continue to invest in measures tomanage unauthorized access to our networks, any such unauthorized access to our cable television service could result in a loss of revenue, and any failure torespond to security breaches could raise concerns under our agreements with content providers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness and results of operations.If we are unable to retain key employees, our ability to manage our business could be adversely affected.Our operational results depend upon the retention and continued performance of our management team. Our ability to retain and hire new key employeesfor management positions could be impacted adversely by the competitive environment for management talent in the broadband communications industry.The loss of the services of key members of management and the inability or delay in hiring new key employees could adversely affect our ability to manageour business and our future operational and financial results.Risks that Relate to Our Operating in Overseas Markets and Being Subject to Foreign and Domestic RegulationOur businesses are conducted almost exclusively outside of the U.S., which gives rise to numerous operational risks.Our businesses operate almost exclusively in countries outside the U.S., and we have substantial physical assets and derive a substantial portion of ourrevenues from operations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Therefore, we are subject to the following inherent risks:•fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;•difficulties in staffing and managing operations consistently through our several operating areas;•export and import restrictions, custom duties, tariffs and other trade barriers;•burdensome tax, customs, duties or regulatory assessments based on new or differing interpretations of law or regulations, including increases intaxes and governmental fees;•economic and political instability;•changes in foreign and domestic laws and policies that govern operations of foreign-based companies;•interruptions to essential energy inputs;•direct and indirect price controls;•cancellation of contract rights and licenses;•delays or denial of governmental approvals;•a lack of reliable security technologies;•privacy concerns; andI-32 •uncertainty regarding intellectual property rights and other legal issues.Operational risks that we may experience in certain countries include uncertain and rapidly changing political, regulatory and economic conditions,including the possibility of disruptions of services or loss of property or equipment that are critical to overseas businesses as a result of vandalism,expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection, terrorism or general social or political unrest.In certain countries and territories in which we operate, political, security and economic changes may result in political and regulatory uncertainty andcivil unrest. Governments may expropriate or nationalize assets or increase their participation in the economy generally and in telecommunicationsoperations in particular. In addition, certain countries and territories in which we operate, or in which we may operate in the future, face significant challengesrelating to the lack, or poor condition, of physical infrastructure, including transportation, electricity generation and transmission. Such countries andterritories may also be subject to a higher risk of inflationary pressures, which could increase our operating costs and decrease consumer demand andspending power. Each of these factors could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.Moreover, in many foreign countries, particularly in certain developing economies, it is not uncommon to encounter business practices that areprohibited by certain regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws. Although our subsidiaries and business affiliates haveundertaken, and will continue to undertake, compliance efforts with respect to these laws, their respective employees, contractors and agents, as well as thosecompanies to which they outsource certain of their business operations, may take actions in violation of their policies and procedures. Any such violationcould result in penalties imposed on, and adversely affect the reputation of, these subsidiaries and business affiliates. Any failure by these subsidiaries andbusiness affiliates to effectively manage the challenges associated with the international operation of their businesses could materially adversely affect their,and hence our, financial condition.We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk.We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to our debt in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than thefunctional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to repay or refinance such debt. Although we generally seek to match thedenomination of our borrowings with the functional currency of the operations that are supporting the respective borrowings, market conditions or otherfactors may cause us to enter into borrowing arrangements that are not denominated in the functional currency of the underlying operations (unmatcheddebt). In these cases, our policy is to provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements, wherever possible and when costeffective to do so, by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency.In addition to the exposure that results from unmatched debt, we are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we enter into transactionsdenominated in currencies other than our operating subsidiaries’ respective functional currencies (non-functional currency risk), such as equipment purchasesand programming contracts. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheet related to these items will resultin unrealized (based upon period-end exchange rates) or realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses upon settlement of the transactions. Moreover,to the extent that our revenue, costs and expenses are denominated in currencies other than our respective functional currencies, we will experiencefluctuations in our revenue, costs and expenses solely as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Generally, we will consider hedging non-functional currency risks when the risks arise from agreements with third parties that involve the future payment or receipt of cash or other monetary items tothe extent that we can reasonably predict the timing and amount of such payments or receipts and the payments or receipts are not otherwise hedged. In thisregard, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain of these risks. Certain non-functional currency risks related to our direct costsof services and other operating and selling, general and administrative expenses and property and equipment additions were not hedged as of December 31,2017.We also are exposed to unfavorable and potentially volatile fluctuations of the U.S. dollar (our reporting currency) against the currencies of ouroperating subsidiaries when their respective financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss as a separate component of equity. Any increase(decrease) in the value of the U.S. dollar against any foreign currency that is the functional currency of one of our operating subsidiaries will cause us toexperience unrealized foreign currency translation losses (gains) with respect to amounts already invested in such foreign currencies. Accordingly, we mayexperience a negative impact on our comprehensive earnings or loss and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency translation.Our reported operating results are impacted by changes in the exchange rates for the Chilean peso and, to a much lesser extent, the Jamaican dollar, Trinidadand Tobago dollar, Seychelles Rupee and Columbian Peso. WeI-33 generally do not hedge against the risk that we may incur non-cash losses upon the translation of the financial statements of our operating subsidiaries andaffiliates into U.S. dollars.Failure to comply with economic and trade sanctions, and similar laws could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operationsor financial condition, or have other adverse consequences.We operate in the Caribbean and Latin America, and similar to other international companies, we are subject to economic and trade sanctions programs,including certain of which that are administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which prohibit or restricttransactions or dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals, and with individuals and entities that arespecially designated. For example, certain of our companies provide (and may in the future provide), directly or indirectly, certain services to governmentalentities in Cuba (e.g., C&W sells IP and international transport telecommunication services to La Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A. (ETECSA),the Cuba state-owned telecommunications provider and to three international telecommunications providers that in turn sell telecom services to ETECSA).All these services are provided outside of Cuba and the provision of non-facilities based telecom services to Cuba are permissible under a general licensefrom OFAC. Any violations of applicable economic and trade sanctions could limit certain of our business activities until they are satisfactorily remediatedand could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines, that could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results ofoperation or financial condition.Our businesses are subject to risks of adverse regulation.Our businesses are subject to the unique regulatory regimes of the countries in which they operate. Video distribution, broadband internet, telephony andmobile businesses are subject to licensing or registration eligibility rules and regulations, which vary by country. Our ability to provide telecommunicationsservices depends on applicable law, telecommunications regulations and the terms of the licenses and concessions we are granted under such laws andregulations. In particular, we are reliant on access with mutually beneficial terms to spectrum for both existing and next generation telecommunicationservices, entrance into interconnection agreements with other telecommunications companies and are subject to a range of decisions by regulators, includingin respect of pricing, for example, for termination rates. The provision of electronic communications networks and services requires our licensing from, orregistration with, the appropriate regulatory authorities. It is possible that countries in which we operate may adopt laws and regulations regarding electroniccommerce, which could dampen the growth of the internet services being offered and developed by these businesses. In a number of countries, our ability toincrease the prices we charge for our cable television service or make changes to the programming packages we offer is limited by regulation or conditionsimposed by competition authorities, or is subject to review by regulatory authorities or termination rights of customers. In addition, regulatory authoritiesmay grant new licenses to third parties and, in any event, in most of our markets new entry is possible without a license, although there may be registrationeligibility rules and regulations, resulting in greater competition in territories where our businesses may already be active. More significantly, regulatoryauthorities may require us to grant third parties access to our bandwidth, frequency capacity, infrastructure, facilities or services to distribute their ownservices or resell our services to end customers. Consequently, our businesses must adapt their ownership and organizational structure as well as their pricingand service offerings to satisfy the rules and regulations to which they are subject. A failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations could result inpenalties, restrictions on our business or loss of required licenses or other adverse conditions. We may continue to operate in jurisdictions where governmentsfail to grant or renew licenses for our operations, which could result in penalties, fines or restrictions that could have a material adverse impact on ourbusiness and financial condition.Adverse changes in rules and regulations could:•impair our ability to use our bandwidth in ways that would generate maximum revenue and cash flow;•create a shortage of capacity on our networks, which could limit the types and variety of services we seek to provide our customers;•impact our ability to access spectrum for our mobile services;•strengthen our competitors by granting them access and lowering their costs to enter into our markets; and•otherwise have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations.Businesses, including ours, that offer multiple services, such as video distribution as well as internet, telephony, and/or mobile services, often face closeregulatory scrutiny from competition authorities in countries in which they operate. This is particularly the case with respect to any proposed businesscombinations, which will often require clearance from national competitionI-34 authorities. The regulatory authorities in several countries in which we do business have considered from time to time what access rights, if any, should beafforded to third parties for use of existing cable television networks and have imposed access obligations in certain countries. This has resulted, for example,in video must carry obligations in many markets in which we operate. For more information, see Item 1. Business—Narrative Description of Business—Regulatory Matters.Regulations may be especially strict in the markets of those countries in which we are considered to hold a significant market position. We have been, inthe past, and may be in the future, subject to allegations and complaints by our competitors and other third parties regarding our competitive behavior as asignificant market operator.When we acquire additional communications companies, these acquisitions may require the approval of governmental authorities, which can block,impose conditions on, or delay an acquisition, thus hampering our opportunities for growth. In the event conditions are imposed and we fail to meet them in atimely manner, the governmental authority may impose fines and, if in connection with an acquisition transaction, may require restorative measures, such asmandatory disposition of assets or divestiture of operations. Most recently, the acquisition of C&W in May 2016 triggered regulatory approval requirementsin certain jurisdictions in which C&W operates. The regulatory authorities in certain of these jurisdictions, including the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago andthe Seychelles, have not completed their review of the May 16, 2016 acquisition of C&W (the C&W Acquisition) or granted their approval. While we expectto receive all outstanding approvals, such approvals may include binding conditions or requirements that could have an adverse impact on C&W’soperations and financial condition.Furthermore, the governments in the countries and territories in which we operate differ widely with respect to political structure, constitution, economicphilosophy, stability and level of regulation. Many of our operations depend on governmental approval and regulatory decisions, and we provide services togovernmental organizations in certain markets (and in certain cases, like Venezuela, governmental organizations are our biggest customers). Moreover, inseveral of C&W’s key markets, including Panama and the Bahamas, governments are C&W’s partners and co-owners. The Government of the Bahamas is apart-owner in BTC and the Government of Panama is a part-owner in C&W Panama, and each of the governments have the right to appoint members to theboard of directors of the respective entity. In both the Bahamas and Panama, we hold licenses or have received concessions from the government orindependent regulatory bodies to operate our business, including our mobile and fixed networks. Consequently, we may not be able to fully utilize C&W’scontractual or legal rights or all options that may otherwise be available, where to do so might conflict with broader regulatory or governmentalconsiderations.Changes to existing legislation and new legislation may significantly alter the regulatory regime applicable to us, which could adversely affect ourcompetitive position and profitability, and we may become subject to more extensive regulation if we are deemed to possess significant market power inany of the markets in which we operate.Significant changes to the existing regulatory regime applicable to the provision of cable television, telephony and internet services have been and arestill being introduced. In addition, we are subject to review by competition or national regulatory authorities in certain countries concerning whether weexhibit significant market power. A finding of significant market power could result in us becoming subject to access and pricing obligations and otherrequirements that could provide a more favorable operating environment for existing and potential competitors. Government regulation or administrativepolicies may change unexpectedly and negatively affect our interests. For example, there has been a general trend for governments to seek greater access totelecommunications records and to communications for law enforcement purposes and a trend in certain countries experiencing civil unrest to restrict accessto telecommunications on national security grounds. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number of risks. For moreinformation, see Item 1. Business—Narrative Description of Business—Regulatory Matters.For various reasons, governments may seek to increase the regulation of the use of the internet, particularly with respect to user privacy and dataprotection, content, pricing, copyrights, consumer protection, distributions and characteristics and quality of products and services. Application of existinglaws, including those addressing property ownership and personal privacy in the context of rapidly evolving technological developments remains uncertainand in flux. New interpretations of such laws could have an adverse effect on our business. Governments may also seek to regulate the content ofcommunications in all of our revenue streams, which could reduce the attractiveness of our services. Governments may also change their attitude towardsforeign investment or extract extra concessions from businesses. Accordingly, our operations may be constrained by the relevant political environment andmay be adversely affected by such constraints, as well as by changes to the political structure or government in any of the markets in which we operate.Future changes to regulation or changes in political administrations or a significant deterioration in our relationship with relevant regulators in thejurisdictions in which we operate, as well as failure to acquire and retain the necessary consents and approvals or in any other way comply with regulatoryrequirements, or excessive costs of complying with new or more onerousI-35 regulations and restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.We may not be successful in acquiring future spectrum or other licenses that we need to offer new mobile data or other services.We offer mobile data services through licensed spectrum in a number of markets. While these licenses, and other licenses that we possess, enable us tooffer mobile data services today, as technology develops and customer needs change, it may be necessary to acquire new spectrum or other licenses in thefuture to provide us with additional capacity and/or offer new technologies or services. While we actively engage with regulators and governments to ensurethat our spectrum needs are met, there can be no guarantee that future spectrum licenses will be made available in certain or all territories or that they will bemade available on commercially viable terms. We will likely require additional spectrum licenses for LTE networks, and there may be competition for theiracquisition. In addition, we may need other types of licenses for the new products and services that we contemplate or will consider offering. Failure toacquire necessary new spectrum licenses or other required licenses for new services or products, or to do so on commercially viable terms, could have amaterial adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.We cannot be certain that we will be successful in acquiring new businesses or integrating acquired businesses with our existing operations, or that wewill achieve the expected returns on our acquisitions.Part of our business strategy is to grow and expand our businesses, in part, through selective acquisitions that enable us to take advantage of existingnetworks, local service offerings and region-specific management expertise. Our ability to acquire new businesses may be limited by many factors, includingavailability of financing, debt covenants, the prevalence of complex ownership structures among potential targets, government regulation and competitionfrom other potential acquirers, including private equity funds. Even if we are successful in acquiring new businesses, the integration of these businesses maypresent significant costs and challenges associated with: realizing economies of scale in interconnection, programming and network operations; eliminatingduplicative overheads; integrating personnel, networks, financial systems and operational systems; greater than anticipated expenditures required forcompliance with regulatory standards or for investments to improve operating results; and failure to achieve the business plan with respect to any suchacquisition. We cannot be assured that we will be successful in acquiring new businesses or realizing the anticipated benefits of any completed acquisition.In addition, we anticipate that any companies we may acquire will be located in the Caribbean or Latin America. Such companies may not havedisclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by U.S. securities laws.While we intend to conduct appropriate due diligence and to implement appropriate controls and procedures as we integrate acquired companies, we may notbe able to certify as to the effectiveness of these companies’ disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting until we havefully integrated them.We may not be successful in renewing the necessary regulatory licenses, concessions or other operating agreements needed to operate our businessesupon expiration, and such licenses may be subject to termination, revocation or material alteration in the event of a breach or to promote the publicinterest or as a result of triggering a change of control clause.While we actively engage with the applicable governments and other regulatory bodies in advance of the expiry of our licenses, concessions andoperating agreements, there can be no guarantee that when such licenses, concessions and operating agreements expire, we will be able to renew them onsimilar or commercially viable terms, or at all. For instance, C&W’s licenses in Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and Barbados are scheduled to expire in the nexttwo years. In addition, in some of the ECTEL states, we are operating under expired licenses and have applied for renewal of such licenses.Some of these licenses may also include clauses that allow the grantor to terminate or revoke or alter them in the event of a default or other failure by usto comply with applicable conditions of the license or to promote the public interest. Further, a number of our operating licenses include change of controlclauses, which may be triggered by the sale of a business to which those clauses relate, or certain types of corporate restructurings. Some of these change ofcontrol clauses may restrict our strategic options, including the ability to complete any potential disposal of individual businesses, a combination ofbusinesses or the entire company unless a consent or waiver is obtained, and, if triggered, may lead to some licenses being terminated. Failure to hold or tocontinue to hold or obtain the necessary licenses, concessions and other operating agreements required to operate our businesses could have a materialadverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.I-36 We do not have complete control over the prices that we charge.Our businesses are in some countries subject to regulation or review by various regulatory, competition or other government authorities responsible forthe regulation or the review of the charges to our customers for our services. Such authorities, in certain cases, could potentially require us to repay such feesto the extent they are found to be excessive or discriminatory. We also may not be able to enforce future changes to our subscription prices. Additionally, incertain markets, our ability to bundle or discount our services may be constrained if we are held to be dominant with respect to any product we offer. Thismay have an adverse impact on our revenue, profitability of new products and services and our ability to respond to changes in the markets in which weoperate.Strikes, work stoppages and other industrial actions could disrupt our operations or make it more costly to operate our businesses.We are exposed to the risk of strikes, work stoppages and other industrial actions. In the future we may experience lengthy consultations with laborunions or strikes, work stoppages or other industrial actions. Strikes and other industrial actions, as well as the negotiation of new collective bargainingagreements or salary increases in the future, could disrupt our operations and make it more costly to operate our facilities. In addition, strikes called byemployees of any of our key providers of materials or services could result in interruptions of the performance of our services. The occurrence of any of theabove risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We depend on third-party suppliers andlicensors to supply necessary equipment, software and certain services required for our businesses.We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities.We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in the U.S., the U.K., the Caribbean and parts of Latin America. In addition, most taxjurisdictions that we operate in have complex and subjective rules regarding the valuation of intercompany services, cross-border payments betweenaffiliated companies and the related effects on income tax and transfer tax. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxesand other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.In addition, our business has undertaken acquisitions, restructurings and other transactions in prior years where the ultimate tax determination resulting fromthese transactions remains uncertain. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Although we believethat our tax estimates are reasonable, any material differences as a result of final determinations of tax audits or tax disputes could have an adverse effect onour financial position and results of operations in the period or periods for which determination is made.We are subject to changing tax laws, treaties and regulations in and between countries in which we operate or otherwise have a presence. Also, variousincome tax proposals in the jurisdictions in which we operate could result in changes to the existing laws on which our deferred taxes are calculated. Achange in these tax laws, treaties or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, could result in a materially higher income or non-income tax expense. Anysuch material changes could cause a material change in our effective tax rate.Further changes in the tax laws of the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate could arise as a result of the base erosion and profit shifting project beingundertaken by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD, which represents a coalition of member countries thatincludes Chile and the United States, has undertaken studies and is publishing action plans that include recommendations aimed at addressing what theybelieve are issues within tax systems that may lead to tax avoidance by companies. The OECD has extended inclusion to non-OECD countries under theirInclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), bringing together over 100 countries to collaborate on the implementation of the OECDBEPS Package. This framework allows interested countries and jurisdictions to work with the OECD and G20 members on developing standards on BEPS-related issues and reviewing and monitoring the implementation of the whole BEPS Package. Included within this expanded group of countries are severaljurisdictions in which we do business. It is possible that additional jurisdictions in which we do business could react to these initiatives or their own concernsby enacting tax legislation that could adversely affect us or our shareholders through increasing our tax liabilities.Risks that Relate to Certain Financial MattersOur substantial leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing and have other adverse effects.Our businesses are highly leveraged. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding principal amount of our debt, together with our capital lease obligations,aggregated $6,398 million, including $263 million that is classified as current in our consolidated balance sheet and $5,664 million that is not due until2022 or thereafter. In addition, we may incur substantial additional debt in the future, including in connection with any future acquisitions. Notwithstandingour negative working capital position at December 31, 2017,I-37 we believe that we have sufficient resources to repay or refinance the current portion of our debt and capital lease obligations and to fund our foreseeableliquidity requirements during the next 12 months. However, as our debt maturities grow in later years, we anticipate that we will seek to refinance orotherwise extend our debt maturities. No assurance can be given that we will be able to complete refinancing transactions or otherwise extend our debtmaturities. In this regard, it is difficult to predict how political and economic conditions, sovereign debt concerns or any adverse regulatory developmentswill impact the credit and equity markets we access and our future financial position.Our ability to service or refinance our debt and to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in our credit agreements is dependent primarily onour ability to maintain or increase the cash flow of our operating subsidiaries and to achieve adequate returns on our property and equipment additions andacquisitions. Accordingly, if our cash provided by operations declines or we encounter other material liquidity requirements, we may be required to seekadditional debt or equity financing in order to meet our debt obligations and other liquidity requirements as they come due. In addition, our current debtlevels may limit our ability to incur additional debt financing to fund working capital needs, acquisitions, property and equipment additions, or other generalcorporate requirements. We can give no assurance that any additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms that are as favorable as the terms ofour existing debt or at all or that we will be able to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in our credit agreements, which could have a materialadverse effect on our business, liquidity and results of operations.In particular, Hurricanes Irma and Maria are expected to have a significant impact on Liberty Puerto Rico’s cash flows and liquidity. Liberty PuertoRico’s ability to access debt financing on favorable terms will be compromised for the foreseeable future as we work through our recovery from the hurricanesand the related impacts on our liquidity and ability to comply with the terms of the LPR Bank Facility (as defined below). For additional information, see —Our ability to comply with the financial covenants in Liberty Puerto Rico’s credit facility has been adversely impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Mariabelow, as well as Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Impacts of Hurricanes andnote 9 to our consolidated financial statements, each included in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to meet our debt service obligations.Our ability to meet our debt service obligations or to refinance our debt, depends on our future operating and financial performance, which will beaffected by our ability to successfully implement our business strategy as well as general macroeconomic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factorsbeyond our control. In addition, we are dependent on customers, in particular local, municipal and national governments and agencies, to pay us for theservices we provide in order for us to generate cash to meet our debt service obligations and to maintain our business. Accordingly, we are exposed to the riskthat our government customers could default on their obligations to us and we cannot rule out the possibility that unexpected circumstances in a particularcountry’s economic condition may render such government unable to meet its obligation to us. Any such event could have an adverse effect on our cashflows, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity. If we cannot generate sufficient cash to meet our debt service requirements or to maintain ourbusiness, we may, among other things, need to refinance all or a portion of our debt, obtain additional financing, delay planned capital expenditures orinvestments or sell material assets.If we are not able to refinance any of our debt, obtain additional financing or sell assets on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we may not be able tosatisfy our debt obligations. In that event, borrowings under other debt agreements or instruments that contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisionswith respect to other indebtedness of relevant members of each of our three borrowing groups (i.e. C&W, VTR and Liberty Puerto Rico) may become payableon demand and we may not have sufficient funds to repay all of our debts. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition andResults of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to various debt instruments that contain restrictions on how we finance our operations and operate ourbusinesses, which could impede our ability to engage in beneficial transactions.Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to significant financial and operating restrictions contained in outstanding credit agreements, indentures andsimilar instruments of indebtedness. These restrictions will affect, and in some cases significantly limit or prohibit, among other things, the ability of thosesubsidiaries to:•incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;•pay dividends or make other upstream distributions;•make investments;•transfer, sell or dispose of certain assets, including their stock;I-38 •merge or consolidate with other entities;•engage in transactions with us or other affiliates; or•create liens on their assets.As a result of restrictions contained in these debt instruments, the companies party thereto, and their subsidiaries, could be unable to obtain additionalcapital in the future to:•fund property and equipment additions or acquisitions that could improve our value;•meet their loan and capital commitments to their business affiliates;•invest in companies in which they would otherwise invest;•fund any operating losses or future development of their business affiliates;•obtain lower borrowing costs that are available from secured lenders or engage in advantageous transactions that monetize their assets; or•conduct other necessary or prudent corporate activities.In addition, most of the credit agreements or indentures to which these subsidiaries are parties include financial covenants that require them to maintaincertain financial ratios. Their ability to meet these financial covenants may be affected by adverse economic, competitive, or regulatory developments andother events beyond their control, and we cannot assure you that these financial covenants will be met. In the event of a default under such subsidiaries’credit agreements or indentures, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness under those agreements or indentures, which could result in adefault under other outstanding credit facilities or indentures. We cannot assure you that any of these subsidiaries will have sufficient assets to payindebtedness outstanding under their credit agreements and indentures. Any refinancing of this indebtedness is likely to contain similar restrictive covenants.We are exposed to interest rate risks and other adverse changes in the credit market. Shifts in such rates may adversely affect the debt serviceobligation of our subsidiaries.We require a significant amount of capital to operate and grow our business. We fund our capital needs in part through borrowings in the public andprivate credit markets. Adverse changes in the credit markets, including increases in interest rates, could increase our cost of borrowing and/or make it moredifficult for us to obtain financing for our operations or refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, our borrowing costs can be affected by short- and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based, in significant part, on our performance as measured by customary credit metrics.A decrease in these ratings would likely increase our cost of borrowing and/or make it more difficult for us to obtain financing. A severe disruption in theglobal financial markets could impact some of the financial institutions with which we do business, and such instability could also affect our access tofinancing.In particular, we are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates, primarily through the credit facilities of certain of our subsidiaries, which areindexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other base rates. Although we enter into various derivative transactions to manage exposure tomovements in interest rates, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so at a reasonable cost or at all. If we are unable to effectivelymanage our interest rate exposure through derivative transactions, any increase in market interest rates would increase our interest rate exposure and debtservice obligations, which would exacerbate the risks associated with our leveraged capital structure. Regulators in the U.K. have announced that LIBOR willbe phased out by the end of 2021. Our loan documents contain customary provisions that contemplate alternative calculations of the applicable base rateonce LIBOR is no longer available. We do not expect that these alternative calculations will be materially different from what would have been calculatedunder LIBOR.We are subject to increasing operating costs and inflation risks, which may adversely affect our results of operations.While our operations attempt to increase our subscription rates to offset increases in programming and operating costs, there is no assurance that theywill be able to do so. In certain countries in which we operate, our ability to increase subscription rates is subject to regulatory controls. For example, VTR isgenerally prohibited from increasing subscription rates over the rate of inflation. Also, our ability to increase subscription rates may be constrained bycompetitive pressures. Therefore, operating costsI-39 may rise faster than associated revenue, resulting in a material negative impact on our cash flow and results of operations. We are also impacted byinflationary increases in salaries, wages, benefits and other administrative costs in certain of our markets.Uncertainties and challenging conditions in the global economy and in the countries in which we operate may adversely impact our business,financial condition and results of operations.The macroeconomic environment can be highly volatile, and instability in global markets has contributed, and could in the future contribute, to achallenging global economic environment. Future developments are dependent upon a number of political and economic factors, and as a result, we cannotpredict when challenging conditions will exist or the extent to which the markets in which we operate may deteriorate. Unfavorable economic conditionsmay impact a significant number of our customers and/or the prices we are able to charge for our products and services, and, as a result, it may be moredifficult for us to attract new customers and more likely that customers will downgrade or disconnect their services. Countries may also seek new or increasedrevenue sources due to fiscal deficits, including increases in regulatory levels, and any such actions may adversely affect our company. In addition, ascountries seek to recover from natural disasters like hurricanes, they may seek new or increased revenue sources from businesses such as ours, including byincreasing taxes and levies. Accordingly, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected if the macroeconomic environment becomesuncertain or declines or governments increase taxes or levies as a result of fiscal deficits or natural disasters. We are currently unable to predict the extent ofany of these potential adverse effects.Additional factors that could influence customer demand include access to credit, unemployment rates, affordability concerns, consumer confidence,capital and credit markets volatility, geopolitical issues and general macroeconomic factors. Certain of these factors drive levels of disposable income, whichin turn affect many of our revenue streams. Business solutions customers may delay purchasing decisions, delay full implementation of service offerings orreduce their use of services. Our residential customers may similarly elect to use fewer higher margin services, switch from fixed to mobile services resultingin the so-called traffic substitution effect, reduce their consumption of our video services or similarly choose to obtain products and services under lower costprograms offered by our competitors. In addition, adverse economic conditions may lead to a rise in the number of our customers who are not able to pay forour services.Adverse economic conditions can also have an adverse impact on tourism, which in turn can adversely impact our business. In tourist destinations, levelsof gross domestic products and levels of foreign investment linked to tourism are closely tied to levels of tourist arrivals and length of stay. In addition tohaving a direct impact on our revenue, due, for example, to reduction of roaming charges incurred by tourists, these factors will in turn drive disposableincome, with the corresponding impact on use of our products and services.Due to the Caribbean’s heavy reliance on tourism, the Caribbean economy has suffered during previous periods of global recession and fluctuations inexchange rates and is likely to be adversely affected if major economies again find themselves in recession or if consumer and/or business confidence inthose economies erodes in the face of trends in the global financial markets and economies. Recent hurricanes in the Caribbean are also expected to have anadverse effect on tourism during 2018.Should current economic conditions deteriorate, there may be volatility in exchange rates, increases in interest rates or inflation, liquidity shortfalls anda adverse effect on our revenue and profits. Recessionary pressures or country-specific issues could, among other things, affect products and services, thelevel of tourism experienced by some countries and the level of local consumer and business expenditure on telecommunications. In addition, most of ouroperations are in developing economies, which historically have experienced more volatility in their general economic conditions. The impact of pooreconomic conditions, globally or at a local or national level in the countries and territories in which we operate, could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, financial condition, results of operations.We are exposed to sovereign debt and currency instability risks that could have an adverse impact on our liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.Our operations are subject to macroeconomic and political risks that are outside of our control. For example, high levels of sovereign debt in the U.S.,Puerto Rico and several other countries in which we operate, combined with weak growth and high unemployment, could potentially lead to fiscal reforms(including austerity measures), tax and levy increases, sovereign debt restructurings, currency instability, increased counterparty credit risk, high levels ofvolatility and disruptions in the credit and equity markets, as well as other outcomes that might adversely impact our company.We are facing challenging economic environments in many of our markets, most notably in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Puerto Rico. In PuertoRico, this environment is due in part to the government’s liquidity issues. In this regard, the Puerto Rico government has failed to make significant portionsof its scheduled debt payments during 2016 and 2017. Although the Puerto Rico government had implemented tax increases and other measures to improveits solvency and the U.S. had implementedI-40 legislation designed to help manage Puerto Rico’s debt crisis, the Puerto Rico government filed for a form of bankruptcy protection in May 2017, and PuertoRico’s public utility followed suit in July 2017. In addition, myriad austerity measures, including with respect to public spending on pensions, publichealthcare and education, have been either recommended, mandated by the fiscal oversight board charged with overseeing Puerto Rico’s recovery and/oradopted by the Puerto Rico government. Notwithstanding the potential short-term uplift in Puerto Rico’s economy resulting from the recovery efforts, if thefiscal and economic conditions in Puerto Rico were to continue to worsen, including with respect to the longer term impact of the hurricanes discussedabove, the population of Puerto Rico could continue to decline and the demand and ability of customers to pay for Liberty Puerto Rico’s services could beimpaired, both of which could have a negative impact on Liberty Puerto Rico’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.Our ability to comply with the financial covenants in Liberty Puerto Rico’s credit facility has been adversely impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused extensive damage to our broadband communications network in Puerto Rico, as well as to homes, businesses andinfrastructure in that market. The operations of Liberty Puerto Rico support the $983 million principal amount of debt outstanding under a first and secondlien term loan and a revolving credit facility (collectively, the LPR Bank Facility), which contain, among other covenants, financial covenants relating toLiberty Puerto Rico’s debt to earnings ratio. If we are unable to meet these financial covenants in any particular quarter and we are unable to cure suchshortfall or are not otherwise able to obtain further relief from the lenders, we would be in default under the LPR Bank Facility. On December 20, 2017, theterm loans under the LPR Bank Facility were amended to provide, among other things, Liberty Puerto Rico with relief from complying with leveragecovenants through December 31, 2018. Although we expect to fully comply with the terms of the LPR Bank Facility as of March 31, 2019, no assurance canbe provided that Liberty Puerto Rico will be able to comply with its leverage covenants in future periods following the aforementioned covenant reliefperiod. Any failure to remain in compliance with the terms of the LPR Bank Facility could have a material adverse impact on our or Liberty Puerto Rico’sbusiness, liquidity and results of operations.We are exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties to our derivative and other financial instruments, undrawn debt facilities and cashinvestments.Although we seek to manage the credit risks associated with our derivative and other financial instruments, cash investments and undrawn debt facilities,we are exposed to the risk that our counterparties could default on their obligations to us. Also, even though we regularly review our credit exposures,defaults may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to detect or foresee. At December 31, 2017, our exposure to counterparty credit risk included(i) derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $17 million, (ii) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances of $568 million and (iii) aggregateundrawn debt facilities of $938 million. While we currently have no specific concerns about the creditworthiness of any counterparty for which we havematerial credit risk exposures, the current economic conditions and uncertainties in global financial markets have increased the credit risk of ourcounterparties and we cannot rule out the possibility that one or more of our counterparties could fail or otherwise be unable to meet its obligations to us.Any such instance could have an adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity. In this regard, (i) the financialfailure of any of our counterparties could reduce amounts available under committed credit facilities and adversely impact our ability to access cashdeposited with any failed financial institution, thereby causing a default under one or more derivative contracts, and (ii) tightening of the credit marketscould adversely impact our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms, or at all.The liquidity and value of our interests in certain of our partially-owned subsidiaries, as well as the ability to make decisions related to theiroperations, may be adversely affected by shareholder agreements and similar agreements to which we are a party.We indirectly own equity interests in a variety of international video, broadband internet, telephony, mobile and other communications businesses.Certain of these equity interests, such as our interests in our operating subsidiaries of Liberty Puerto Rico, C&W Panama and BTC, are held pursuant toconcessions or agreements that provide the terms of the governance of the subsidiaries as well as the ownership of such interests. These agreements containprovisions that affect the liquidity, and therefore the realizable value, of those interests by subjecting the transfer of such equity interests to consent rights orrights of first refusal of the other shareholders or partners or similar restrictions on transfer. In certain cases, a change in control of the subsidiary holding theequity interest will give rise to rights or remedies exercisable by other shareholders or partners. All of these provisions will restrict the ability to sell thoseequity interests and may adversely affect the prices at which those interests may be sold. Additionally, these agreements contain provisions granting us andthe other shareholders or partners certain liquidity rights as well as certain governance rights, for example, with respect to material matters, including but notlimited to acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, shareholder distributions, incurrence of debt, material expenditures and issuances of equity interests, whichmay prevent the respective subsidiary from making decisions or taking actions that would protect or advance the interests of our company, andI-41 could even result in such subsidiary making decisions or taking actions that adversely impact our company. For instance, we and Searchlight each havecertain liquidity rights in relation to Liberty Puerto Rico, including Searchlight’s ability, so long as Searchlight owns at least 20% of Liberty Puerto Rico’sparent entities, to force a sale of Liberty Puerto Rico or its parent entities, subject to certain conditions, including among others, our right of first offer and ourability to stop a forced sale and instead conduct a dividend recapitalization in which Searchlight would receive cash. Furthermore, our ability to access thecash of these non-wholly-owned subsidiaries may be restricted in certain circumstances under the respective shareholder, joint venture, partnership or similaragreements.Risks Relating to the Split-OffWe may have a significant indemnity obligation to Liberty Global, which is not limited in amount or subject to any cap, if the Split-Off is treated as ataxable transaction, or the internal restructuring is subject to tax in one or more jurisdictions. In addition, we will be responsible for, and have agreed toindemnify Liberty Global for, certain taxes that relate to our operations.Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement that we entered into with Liberty Global in connection with the Split-Off, subject to certain limited exceptionsrelating to actions of Liberty Global, we are required to indemnify Liberty Global and its subsidiaries, for taxes resulting from the failure of the Split-Off orcertain transactions that comprise the internal restructuring of Liberty Global to qualify for favored tax treatment under Section 355 of the Internal RevenueCode of 1986, as amended (the Code) and related provisions, including taxes that result from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Split-Off or suchinternal restructuring transactions as a result of the Split-Off being part of a plan (or series of related transactions) pursuant to which one or more personsacquire a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the shares of Liberty Latin America or any successor. Although Liberty Globalgenerally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax because Liberty Global generally is not a U.S. taxpayer, certain subsidiaries or affiliates of LibertyGlobal that are U.S. companies could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities if favored tax treatment under Section 355 is not available withrespect to certain transactions that comprise the internal restructuring.Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, we are also required to indemnify Liberty Global and its subsidiaries for taxes imposed by the U.S. or otherjurisdictions resulting from (i) certain transactions that were undertaken to effect the separation of our businesses from Liberty Global in connection with theSplit-Off, including the internal restructuring of Liberty Global and (ii) certain prior acquisitions, restructurings and other transactions that arise from taxaudits or tax disputes and are attributable to or otherwise relate to our businesses. The ultimate tax determination for some of these transactions may beuncertain and the amount of any indemnification obligations to Liberty Global and its subsidiaries could be substantial.Our indemnification obligations to Liberty Global and its subsidiaries are not limited in amount or subject to any cap. If we are required to indemnifyLiberty Global and its subsidiaries under the circumstances set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities, which couldmaterially adversely affect our financial position.We may determine to forgo certain transactions in order to avoid the risk of incurring significant tax-related liabilities.In the Tax Sharing Agreement, we covenant not to take any action, or fail to take any action, following the Split-Off, which action or failure to act isinconsistent with the Split-Off qualifying for favored tax treatment under Section 355 of the Code and related provisions. Further, the Tax Sharing Agreementrequires that we generally indemnify Liberty Global for any taxes or losses incurred by Liberty Global (or its subsidiaries) resulting from breaches of suchcovenants or resulting from Section 355(e) of the Code applying to the Split-Off because of acquisitions of a 50-percent or greater interest (measured by voteor value) in our shares that are part of a plan that includes the Split-Off. As a result, we might determine to forgo certain transactions that might haveotherwise been advantageous in order to preserve the favored tax treatment of the Split-Off.In particular, we might determine to continue to operate certain of our business operations for the foreseeable future even if a sale or discontinuance ofsuch business might have otherwise been advantageous. Moreover, in light of the requirements of Section 355(e) of the Code, we might determine to forgocertain transactions, including share repurchases, share issuances, certain asset dispositions or other strategic transactions for some period of time followingthe Split-Off. In addition, our indemnity obligation under the Tax Sharing Agreement might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control transaction forsome period of time following the Split-Off.I-42 Prior to the Split-Off, we were not an independent company and we may be unable to make, on a timely or cost-effective basis, the changes necessary tooperate as an independent company.Prior to the Split-Off, our business was operated by Liberty Global as part of its broader corporate organization, rather than as an independent companyand there can be no assurance that our business strategy will be successful on a standalone basis. As part of Liberty Global, our business enjoyed certaineconomies of scale, including in the areas of procurement and information technology. Liberty Global’s senior management oversaw the strategic direction ofour businesses and Liberty Global performed various corporate functions for us, including, but not limited to:•certain management services; and•services typically performed by Liberty Global’s legal, investor relations, tax, accounting, procurement and finance departments.Following the Split-Off, neither Liberty Global nor any of its affiliates have any obligation to provide these functions to us other than those services thatare provided pursuant to the Services Agreement. If, once the Services Agreement terminates, we do not have in place our own systems and businessfunctions, we do not have agreements with other providers of these services or we are not able to make these changes cost effectively, we may not be able tooperate our business effectively and our financial condition and results of operations may decline. If Liberty Global does not continue to perform effectivelythe services that are called for under the Services Agreement with us, we may not be able to operate our business effectively.We may not realize the potential benefits from the Split-Off in the near term or at all.The Split-Off was consummated on the expectation that it would better position us to take advantage of business opportunities, strategic alliances andacquisitions through Liberty Latin America’s management’s ability to focus on strategic transactions that benefit Liberty Latin America and its expectedenhanced acquisition currency. There was also an expectation that the Split-Off would enable Liberty Latin America to provide its employees with moreattractive equity incentive awards. However, we may not realize these potential benefits from the Split-Off in the near term or at all. No assurance can begiven that any investment, acquisition or other strategic opportunities will become available following the Split-Off on terms that Liberty Latin Americafinds favorable or at all. Additionally, given the added costs associated with the completion of the Split-Off, including the separate accounting, legal andother compliance costs of being a separate public company, our failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Split-Off in the near term or at all couldadversely affect the company.Certain of the company’s directors and an executive officer overlap with Liberty Global, and certain directors and officers have financial interests inLiberty Global, which may lead to conflicting interests.As a result of the Split-Off, John C. Malone, Miranda Curtis and Paul A. Gould, who serve as directors of Liberty Global, and Liberty Global’s chieffinancial officer, also serve as directors of Liberty Latin America. Additionally, the chief executive officer of Liberty Global, Michael Fries, also serves as ourexecutive chairman. Our directors (including the executive chairman) have fiduciary duties to our company. Likewise, any such persons who serve in similarcapacities at Liberty Global or any other public corporation have fiduciary duties to that corporation or to that corporation’s shareholders. For example, theremay be the potential for a conflict of interest when the company or Liberty Global pursues acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may besuitable for each of them. In addition, all of our directors and executive officers, other than our directors Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega and Eric L. Zinterhofer,have financial interests in Liberty Global as a result of their ownership of Liberty Global Shares (as defined in note 1 to our consolidated financial statementsincluded in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) and/or equity awards. As a result of these multiple fiduciary duties and financial interests, thesedirectors and executive officers may have conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting morethan one of the companies to which they owe fiduciary duties or in which they have financial interests.Our bye-laws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we have waived and renounced on behalf of ourselves and our subsidiariesany breach of a fiduciary duty by each of our directors by reason of the fact that such person directs a corporate opportunity to another person or entity (suchas Liberty Global) instead of the company, or does not refer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the company, unless suchopportunity was expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director of our company and such opportunity relates to a line of businessin which we or any of our subsidiaries are then directly engaged. The waiver given to our directors in respect of the diversion of corporate opportunities doesnot amount to a general authorization to our directors to subordinate Liberty Latin America’s interests to their personal interests. Our directors will continueto be bound by their common law and statutory duties under the Bermuda Companies Act to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests ofLiberty Latin America and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.Furthermore, our bye-laws contain a general waiver by shareholders for any claim or right of action a shareholder might have (whether individually or by orin the right of theI-43 company) against any director or officer of the company, arising from any action or inaction by such director or officer in the performance of their duties forus or any of our subsidiaries (but excluding any matter involving fraud or dishonesty). This general waiver does not eliminate directors’ or officers’ fiduciaryduties to Liberty Latin America under Bermuda law. Rather, it prohibits actions from being taken by shareholders against directors or officers in the event of abreach of such duties, unless the breach involves fraud or dishonesty.In addition, any potential conflict that qualifies as a “related party transaction” (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) is subject to review by anindependent committee of the applicable company’s board in accordance with its corporate governance guidelines. Any other potential conflicts that arisewill be addressed on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind the applicable fiduciary duties owed by the executive officers and directors of each company.From time to time, we may enter into transactions with Liberty Global and/or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates. In the event of any potential conflictthat qualifies as a “related party transaction” (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K) involving Liberty Global and/or any of its subsidiaries or otheraffiliates, the audit committee or another independent body of Liberty Latin America would be required to review and approve the transaction. If thepotential conflict or transaction involved an executive officer of Liberty Latin America, the audit committee of our company would be the independentcommittee charged by our corporate governance guidelines with this duty, and if the potential conflict or transaction involved a director of Liberty LatinAmerica, a committee of the disinterested independent directors of Liberty Latin America would be the independent committee charged by our corporategovernance guidelines with this duty. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to the company or any of itssubsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping director or officer or where there are no financial interests in Liberty Global.Our intercompany agreements were negotiated while we were a subsidiary of Liberty Global.We entered into a number of intercompany agreements covering matters such as tax sharing and our responsibility for certain liabilities previouslyundertaken by Liberty Global for certain of our businesses. In addition, we entered into the Services Agreement with Liberty Global pursuant to which itprovides us with specified services, including certain management services, other services typically performed by Liberty Global’s legal, tax, accounting,procurement and finance departments and other services, for which we will pay Liberty Global a services fee. The terms of all of these agreements wereestablished while we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global, and hence may not be the result of arms’ length negotiations. Although we believethat the negotiations with Liberty Global were at arms’ length, the persons negotiating on behalf of Liberty Latin America also serve as officers of LibertyGlobal. We believe that the terms of these intercompany agreements are commercially reasonable and fair to all parties under the circumstances; however,conflicts could arise in the interpretation or any extension or renegotiation of the foregoing agreements.Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and the Securities MarketOur share price may fluctuate significantly.The market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;•changes in earnings estimated by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;•the operating and share price performance of comparable companies; and•domestic and foreign economic conditions.Furthermore, in recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact onthe market price of securities issued by many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes frequently appear to occur without regard to theoperating performance of the affected companies. As such, the price of our common shares could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to dowith us, and these fluctuations could materially reduce the price of our common shares and materially affect the value of your investment.If we are unable to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or our internal control over financial reporting is noteffective, the reliability of our financial statements may be questioned and our share price may suffer.Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires any company subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws to include in itsannual report on Form 10-K an assessment of its and its consolidated subsidiaries’ internal controlI-44 over financial reporting. To comply with this statute, we will be required to perform a formal assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting,including testing the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls; our management will be required to issue a statement as to whether or notour internal control over financial reporting is effective; and our independent auditors will be required to issue an audit opinion on our internal control overfinancial reporting.Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will be required for the first time in connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, on which management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting will be based, iscomplex and may require substantial resources and effort to apply. During the course of our assessment, management may identify material weaknesses ordeficiencies which may not be remedied in time to make a favorable assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If our management cannotfavorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or our auditors identify material weaknesses in our internal controls, investorconfidence in our financial results may weaken, and our share price may suffer.Different classes of our common shares have different voting rights, but all common shares vote together as one class; if you hold Class C commonshares you will have no significant voting rights.Holders of our Class A common shares are entitled to one vote per share; holders of our Class B common shares are entitled to 10 votes per share; andholders of our Class C common shares are not entitled to any votes in respect of their common shares, unless such common shares are required to carry theright to vote under applicable law, in which case holders of our Class C common shares will be entitled to 1/100 of a vote per share. Our bye-laws prescribethat all classes of common shares vote together as one class, meaning that those holding Class C common shares will have little to no ability to influence theoutcome of a shareholder vote as they will be consistently outvoted by holders of our Class A and Class B common shares.The division of our common shares into different classes with different relative voting rights does not affect the fiduciary duties owed by our directors.As a Bermuda company, our directors’ fiduciary duties are owed primarily to Liberty Latin America rather to holders of our common shares, or any class ofour common shares.It may be difficult for a third-party to acquire us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our shareholders.Certain provisions of our bye-laws and Bermuda law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the company that a shareholder mayconsider favorable. These provisions include the following:•authorizing a capital structure with multiple classes of shares: a Class B that entitles the holders to ten votes per share, a Class A that entitles theholders to one vote per share and a Class C that entitles the holder to no voting rights, except as otherwise required by applicable law (in which case,the holder is entitled to 1/100 of a vote per share);•authorizing the issuance of “blank check” preferred shares, which could be issued by our board to increase the number of outstanding shares andthwart a takeover attempt;•classifying our board with staggered three-year terms, which may lengthen the time required to gain control of our board;•prohibiting shareholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all shareholder actions to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders;•establishing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to our board or for proposing matters that can be acted upon byshareholders at shareholder meetings;•requiring supermajority shareholder approval with respect to certain extraordinary matters, such as certain mergers, amalgamations, orconsolidations of the company, or in the case of amendments to our bye-laws; and•the existence of authorized and unissued shares which would allow our board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, therebyprotecting the continuity of its management, or which could be used to dilute the share ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of us.Although our Class B common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets, there is no meaningful trading market for these shares.Our Class B common shares are not widely held, with over 75% of the outstanding shares beneficially owned by John C. Malone, a director of ourcompany. Although our Class B common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets, they are sparsely traded and do not have an active trading market. The OTCMarkets tend to be highly illiquid, in part, because there is no national quotationI-45 system by which potential investors can track the market price of shares, and may only do so through information received or generated by a limited numberof broker-dealers that make markets in particular shares. There is also a greater chance of market volatility for securities that trade on the OTC Markets asopposed to a national exchange or quotation system, including as a result of a lack of readily available price quotations, lower trading volume, absence ofconsistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask” quotations, and similar market conditions. Each Class B common share is convertible, at any time atthe option of the holder, into one Class A common share.We may be significantly influenced by one principal shareholder.As of January 31, 2018, John C. Malone beneficially owned a number of our common shares representing approximately 25% of the aggregate votingpower of our outstanding common shares. As a result, Mr. Malone has significant influence over Liberty Latin America. Mr. Malone’s rights to vote ordispose of his equity interest in Liberty Latin America are not subject to any restrictions in favor of Liberty Latin America other than as may be required byapplicable law and except for customary transfer restrictions pursuant to incentive award agreements.Bermuda law may, in certain circumstances, afford less protection to our shareholders than the laws in effect in other jurisdictions.We are incorporated and organized under the laws of Bermuda. As a result, our corporate affairs are governed by the Bermuda Companies Act. Bermudalaw permits a company to specify thresholds for shareholder approval different from those applicable by default, either generally or for specific corporateactions. Our bye-laws prescribe a shareholder approval threshold that is higher than the default of a simple majority of votes cast at a quorate general meetingof shareholders for certain corporate actions. With respect to a Bermuda company’s directors, there is no requirement for shareholder approval for transactionsbetween directors and companies or their subsidiaries of which they are directors (except in the case of loans, guarantees or the provision of security by acompany to its directors or certain connected persons in their personal capacity). In addition, the rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilitiesof our directors under Bermuda law are not as clearly established as under statutes or judicial precedent in other jurisdictions, where directors’ duties aresometimes codified under applicable law. Therefore, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a publiccompany incorporated in another jurisdiction.We are a Bermuda company and it may be difficult for you to enforce judgments against us or our directors and executive officers.We are a Bermuda exempted company organized under the laws of Bermuda. As a result, the rights of holders of our common shares are governed byBermuda law and our memorandum of association and bye-laws. The rights of shareholders under Bermuda law may differ from the rights of shareholders ofcompanies incorporated in other jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the U.K. Certain of our directors are not residents of the United States, and a substantialportion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on those persons in theUnited States or to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us or those persons based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S.securities laws. It is doubtful whether courts in Bermuda will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, or entertainactions in Bermuda against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictions.Our bye-laws generally restrict shareholders from bringing legal action against our officers and directors.Our bye-laws contain a general waiver by shareholders for any claim or right of action a shareholder might have (whether individually or by or in theright of the company) against any director or officer of the company, arising from any action or inaction by such director or officer in the performance of theirduties for us or any of our subsidiaries (but excluding any matter involving fraud or dishonesty). Consequently, this waiver limits the right of shareholders toassert claims against our officers and directors unless the act or failure to act involves fraud or dishonesty.There are regulatory limitations on the ownership and transfer of our common shares.Our common shares may be offered or sold in Bermuda only in compliance with the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act and the BermudaInvestment Business Act 2003, which regulates the sale of securities in Bermuda. In addition, the Bermuda Monetary Authority must approve all issues andtransfers of shares of a Bermuda exempted company. However, the Bermuda Monetary Authority has, pursuant to its statement of June 1, 2005, given itsgeneral permission under the Exchange Control Act 1972 and related regulations for the issue and free transfer of our common shares to and among personswho are non-residents of Bermuda for exchange control purposes as long as any class of our common shares are listed on an appointed stock exchange, whichincludes Nasdaq. This general permission would cease to apply if none of our common shares were to be listed on Nasdaq or another appointed stockexchange.I-46 Item 1B.UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNone.Item 2.PROPERTIESAt December 31, 2017, we leased our corporate office in Denver, Colorado, U.S. Additionally, we own our sub-sea network in the Caribbean region (seeItem 1. Business—Narrative Description of Business—Products and Services—Business Services). Also, our subsidiaries either own or lease the fixed assetsnecessary for the operation of their respective businesses, including office space, transponder space, headend facilities, rights of way, cable television andtelecommunications distribution equipment, telecommunications switches, base stations, cell towers and customer premises equipment and other propertynecessary for their operations. The physical components of their broadband networks require maintenance and periodic upgrades to support the new servicesand products they introduce. Subject to these maintenance and upgrade activities, our management believes that our current facilities are suitable andadequate for our business operations for the foreseeable future.Item 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGSFrom time to time, our subsidiaries and affiliates have become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of their operations in the normalcourse of business. For additional information, see note 17 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Item 4.MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.I-47 PART IIItem 5.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITYSECURITIESGeneralThe capitalized terms used in Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are defined in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. In thefollowing text, the terms “we,” “our,” “our company” and “us” may refer, as the context requires, to Liberty Latin America Ltd. or collectively to LibertyLatin America Ltd. and its subsidiaries.Market InformationOur outstanding share capital comprises Class A, Class B and Class C common shares. Our Class A and Class C common shares trade on the NASDAQGlobal Select Market under the symbols “LILA” and “LILAK,” respectively, and began trading effective January 2, 2018 following the consummation of theSplit-Off. Our Class B common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “LILAB,” although they are not actively traded.HoldersAs of January 31, 2018 we had the following number of holders of our common stock: 11,070 Class A; 29 Class B; and 25,202 Class C. The foregoingdoes not include the number of shareholders whose shares are nominally held by banks, brokerage houses or other institutions, but include each suchinstitution as one record holder.DividendsWe have not paid any cash dividends on any of our shares, and we have no present intention of doing so. Any future payment of cash dividends will bedetermined by our board of directors in light of our earnings, financial condition and other relevant considerations. Except as noted in Item 7. Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, there are currently nocontractual restrictions on our ability to pay dividends in cash or shares. The credit facilities to which certain of our subsidiaries are parties restrict our abilityto access their cash for, among other things, our payment of cash dividends.Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation PlansInformation required by this item is incorporated by reference to our definitive proxy statement for our 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered SecuritiesNone.II-1 Item 6.SELECTED FINANCIAL DATAThe following tables present selected historical financial information of Liberty Latin America.

This section provides a general description of our business and recent events.•Results of Operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.•Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section provides an analysis of our liquidity, consolidated statements of cash flows and contractualcommitments.•Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates. This section discusses those material accounting policies that involve uncertainties andrequire significant judgment in their application.Unless otherwise indicated, convenience translations into U.S. dollars are calculated, and operational data (including subscriber statistics) is presented,as of December 31, 2017.OverviewGeneralWe are an international provider of video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile services. We provide residential and B2Bcommunications services in (i) 18 countries, primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean, through C&W, (ii) Chile through VTR and (iii) Puerto Ricothrough Liberty Puerto Rico. C&W also provides (i) B2B communication services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii)wholesale communication services over its sub-sea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect over 40 markets in that region.Impacts of HurricanesIn September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted a number of our markets in the Caribbean, resulting in varying degrees of damage to homes,businesses and infrastructure in these markets. The most extensive damage occurred in the Impacted Markets, which include Puerto Rico and certain marketswithin our C&W reportable segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the last full quarter that was not impacted by the hurricanes, LibertyPuerto Rico accounted for 11.8% and 14.6% of our consolidated revenue and Adjusted OIBDA, respectively, while the operations in C&W’s ImpactedMarkets collectively accounted for 3.0% and 2.1% of our consolidated revenue and Adjusted OIBDA, respectively. Below we have included the net impactof the hurricanes on the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of the Impacted Markets during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017. Ourassessment of the losses attributable to the hurricanes is ongoing, and as discussed below, we expect to incur additional costs and losses as we restore thedamaged networks and reconnect customers. We continue to be uncertain as to the extent and ultimate completion of our restoration and reconnection effortsin the Impacted Markets.We maintain an integrated group property and business interruption insurance program covering all Impacted Markets up to a limit of $75 million peroccurrence, which is generally subject to $15 million per occurrence of self-insurance. Although we are continuing to assess the alternatives under ourinsurance policy, we currently believe that the hurricanes will result in at least two occurrences. This policy is subject to the normal terms and conditionsapplicable to this type of insurance. We expect that the insurance recovery will only cover a portion of the incurred losses of each of our impacted businesses.See note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding estimated insurance recoveries recorded during the fourth quarter of2017.Further details regarding the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria are discussed below. For information regarding impairment charges that have beenrecorded as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, see notes 6 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements. For information regarding the impacts ofHurricanes Irma and Maria on the outstanding debt of Liberty Puerto Rico, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.Liberty Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico, the damage caused by Hurricanes Maria and, to a lesser extent Hurricane Irma, was extensive and widespread.Individuals and businesses across Puerto Rico continue to deal with significant challenges caused by the severe damage to essential infrastructure, includingdamage to Puerto Rico’s power supply and transmission system. Similarly, Liberty Puerto Rico’s broadband communications network suffered extensivedamage. As of December 31, 2017, we have been able to restore service to approximately 340,000 RGUs (as defined below) of our total estimated 738,500RGUs at Liberty PuertoII-3 Rico. Additionally, we estimate that approximately $130 million of property and equipment additions is required to restore nearly all of Liberty PuertoRico’s broadband communications network, approximately $50 million of which was incurred during the fourth quarter.During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the effects of the hurricanes negatively impacted Liberty Puerto Rico’s revenue by anestimated $90 million and $109 million, respectively, and Adjusted OIBDA by an estimated $65 million and $80 million, respectively. Although thesenegative impacts will decline as the network is restored and customers are reconnected, we expect that the adverse impacts of the hurricanes on Liberty PuertoRico’s revenue and Adjusted OIBDA will continue through 2018 and beyond. The severity of the hurricanes impact on Liberty Puerto Rico’s future revenueand Adjusted OIBDA will be influenced in part by the following uncertainties:•the length of time that it will take to restore Puerto Rico’s power and transmission system and to fully restore our network;•the number of people that will choose to leave Puerto Rico for an extended period or permanently; and•the ability of the Puerto Rico and U.S. governments to effectively oversee the recovery process in Puerto Rico.In terms of liquidity for Liberty Puerto Rico, the cash provided by its operations was a significant source of pre-hurricane liquidity. As a result of thehurricane impacts, we do not expect Liberty Puerto Rico will generate positive cash from operations, inclusive of capital expenditures, until at least the latterhalf of 2018. In this regard, Liberty Puerto Rico’s immediate liquidity needs are being funded by available cash on hand, which includes $40 million that wasdrawn under the LPR Bank Facility during the fourth quarter of 2017. No further amounts are available to be borrowed under the LPR Bank Facility. Otherthan cash on hand and any cash flow from operations, future liquidity sources are expected to include insurance proceeds and an equity commitment throughDecember 31, 2018 of up to $60 million from Liberty Puerto Rico’s shareholders to fund any potential liquidity shortfalls. Based on our 60% ownership inLiberty Puerto Rico, we are obligated for $36 million of this equity commitment. For additional information regarding the $60 million equity commitment,see Liquidity and Capital Resources below. While there are still uncertainties with respect to Liberty Puerto Rico’s recovery from the hurricanes, and noassurance can be given as to the ultimate amount or timing of liquidity to be received from cash from operations or insurance proceeds, we expect theseexisting and potential sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy Liberty Puerto Rico’s liquidity requirements over the next twelve months.C&W. C&W offers services over fixed and mobile networks, and portions of these networks in its Impacted Markets were significantly damaged as aresult of the hurricanes, most notably in the British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Anguilla. Services to most of our fixed-line customers in these markets havenot yet been restored. While mobile services have been largely restored in C&W’s Impacted Markets, we are still in the process of completing the restorationof our mobile network infrastructure. In addition to network damage, these markets are also dealing with extensive damage to homes, businesses and essentialinfrastructure.During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the effects of the hurricanes negatively impacted C&W’s revenue by an estimated $7million and $10 million, respectively and Adjusted OIBDA by an estimated $8 million and $17 million, respectively. We currently estimate thatapproximately $50 million of property and equipment additions is required to restore nearly all of the damaged networks in C&W’s Impacted Markets,approximately $13 million of which was incurred during the fourth quarter. Although these negative impacts will decline as the networks are restored andcustomers are reconnected, we expect that the adverse impacts of the hurricanes on C&W’s revenue and Adjusted OIBDA will continue through 2018 andbeyond.OperationsAs described above, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused significant damage to our operations in Puerto Rico, resulting in disruptions to ourtelecommunications services. As we are still in the process of assessing the operational impacts of the hurricanes in Puerto Rico, we are unable to accuratelyestimate our homes passed and subscriber numbers as of December 31, 2017. Accordingly, and as described in Item 1. Narrative Description of Business—Operating Data above, the December 31, 2017 subscriber numbers for the Impacted Markets reflect the subscribers amounts as of August 31, 2017 asadjusted for net voluntary disconnects through December 31, 2017 and the homes passed reflect the August 31, 2017 levels adjusted for approximately30,000 homes that were destroyed in geographic areas we may not rebuild.At December 31, 2017, we (i) owned and operated networks that passed 6,403,200 homes and served 5,197,700 revenue generating units (RGUs),comprising 2,109,800 broadband internet subscribers, 1,689,300 video subscribers and 1,398,600 fixed-line telephony subscribers and (ii) served 3,631,400mobile subscribers.II-4 Strategy and Management FocusFrom a strategic perspective, we are seeking to build broadband communications and mobile businesses that have strong prospects for future growth. Asdiscussed further under Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capitalization below, we also seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equityreturns without assuming undue risk.We strive to achieve organic revenue and customer growth in our operations by developing and marketing bundled entertainment and information andcommunications services, and extending and upgrading the quality of our networks where appropriate. As we use the term, organic growth excludes foreigncurrency translation effects (FX) and the estimated impact of acquisitions. While we seek to increase our customer base, we also seek to maximize the averagerevenue we receive from each household by increasing the penetration of our digital video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile serviceswith existing customers through product bundling and upselling.We are engaged in network extension and upgrade programs at C&W, VTR and Liberty Puerto Rico, although the Liberty Puerto Rico program has beeninterrupted by the impacts of the hurricanes. We collectively refer to these network extension and upgrade programs as the “Network Extensions.” TheNetwork Extensions will be completed in phases with priority given to the most accretive expansion opportunities. During 2017, approximately 465,000homes and commercial premises were connected to our networks or upgraded. Depending on a variety of factors, including the financial and operationalresults of the programs, the Network Extensions may be continued, modified or cancelled at our discretion. See Item 1. Business—Products and Services—Residential Services—Internet Services.For information regarding our expectation with regard to property and equipment additions as a percent of revenue during 2018, see Liquidity andCapital Resources—Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.Competition and Other External FactorsWe are experiencing significant competition from other telecommunications operators, DTH operators and other providers in all of our markets,particularly in many of C&W’s markets. In the Bahamas, where C&W previously was the only provider of mobile services, competition has increasedsignificantly due to the commercial launch of mobile services by a competitor during the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, fixed-line competition hasincreased in a number of C&W’s markets in the Caribbean, including Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Barbados. In certain of its markets, C&W is alsoexperiencing increased regulatory intervention that would, if implemented, facilitate increased competition. The significant competition we areexperiencing, together with macroeconomic factors, has adversely impacted our revenue, RGUs and/or average monthly subscription revenue per averagecable RGU or mobile subscriber, as applicable, (ARPU) in a number of C&W’s markets. For additional information regarding the revenue impact of changesin the RGUs and ARPU of our reportable segments, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments below.In addition, high levels of sovereign debt in the U.S. and several countries in which we or our affiliates operate, combined with weak growth and highunemployment, could potentially lead to fiscal reforms (including austerity measures), tax increases, sovereign debt restructurings, currencyinstability, increased counterparty credit risk, high levels of volatility and disruptions in the credit and equity markets, as well as other outcomes that mightadversely impact our company. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse impact on, among other matters, our liquidity and cash flows.We are facing challenging economic environments in many of our markets, most notably in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Puerto Rico. In PuertoRico, this environment is due in part to the government’s liquidity issues. In this regard, the Puerto Rico government has failed to make significant portionsof its scheduled debt payments during 2016 and 2017. Although the Puerto Rico government had implemented tax increases and other measures to improveits solvency and the U.S. had implemented legislation designed to help manage Puerto Rico’s debt crisis, the Puerto Rico government filed for a form ofbankruptcy protection in May 2017, and Puerto Rico’s public utility followed suit in July 2017. In addition, myriad austerity measures, including withrespect to public spending on pensions, public healthcare and education, have been either recommended, mandated by the fiscal oversight board chargedwith overseeing Puerto Rico’s recovery and/or adopted by the Puerto Rico government. Notwithstanding the potential short-term uplift in Puerto Rico’seconomy resulting from the recovery efforts, if the fiscal and economic conditions in Puerto Rico were to continue to worsen, including with respect to thelonger term impact of the hurricanes discussed above, the population of Puerto Rico could continue to decline and the demand and ability of customers topay for Liberty Puerto Rico’s services could be impaired, both of which could have a negative impact on Liberty Puerto Rico’s results of operations, cashflows and financial condition.II-5 Results of OperationsIn the following discussion, we quantify the estimated impact of acquisitions (the Acquisition Impact) on our operating results. The Acquisition Impactrepresents our estimate of the difference between the operating results of the periods under comparison that is attributable to an acquisition. EffectiveDecember 31, 2017, we revised the method in which we estimate the Acquisition Impact to reflect the actual operating results of the acquired entity duringthe first 12 months following its acquisition. Accordingly, in the following discussion, (i) organic increases exclude the operating results of an acquiredentity during the first 12 months following the date of acquisition and (ii) the calculation of our organic change percentages exclude the Acquisition Impactof such entity.Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant impact on our operating results as VTR and certain entities within C&W havefunctional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our primary exposure to FX risk during 2017 was to the Chilean peso as 26.5% of our revenue during theperiod was derived from VTR, whose functional currency is the Chilean peso. In addition, our operating results are impacted by changes in the exchange ratesfor other local currencies in Latin America and the Caribbean. The impacts to the various components of our results of operations that are attributable tochanges in FX are highlighted under Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments and Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated OperatingResults below and assume that the exchange rates remained constant at the prior year rate during the comparative periods. For information concerning ourforeign currency risks and applicable foreign currency exchange rates, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—ForeignCurrency Risk below.The amounts presented and discussed below represent 100% of each reportable segment’s revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. As we have the ability tocontrol Liberty Puerto Rico and certain subsidiaries of C&W that are not wholly owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in ourconsolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in theoperating results of Liberty Puerto Rico and certain subsidiaries of C&W are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in ourconsolidated statements of operations.Prior to the Split-Off, Liberty Global allocated a portion of their corporate function costs to us, based primarily on the estimated percentage of time spentby corporate personnel providing services to us. Such costs were not intended to reflect the costs of operating as a standalone public company. Accordingly,we expect our corporate-related SG&A costs to increase significantly during 2018 as a result of operating as a standalone company and incurring certainpublic company-related costs. These costs are expected to include executive employee and board of directors expenses; insurance; costs related to thecompliance with federal securities laws (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002); and costs for financial reporting, tax administration,human resources functions and centralization of certain other corporate functions. These expected increases in costs are inclusive of costs that Liberty Globalwill charge us in connection with certain of the Split-Off Agreements, as further described in note 12 to our consolidated financial statements.Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable SegmentsGeneralAll of the reportable segments derive their revenue primarily from (i) residential broadband communications services, including video, broadbandinternet and fixed-line telephony services, (ii) B2B communications services and (iii) with the exception of Liberty Puerto Rico, residential mobile services.For detailed information regarding the composition of our reportable segments, see note 18 to our consolidated financial statements.The tables presented below in this section provide a separate analysis of each of the line items that comprise Adjusted OIBDA, as further discussed innote 18 to our consolidated financial statements, as well as an analysis of Adjusted OIBDA by reportable segment. As discussed under Item 7A. Quantitativeand Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk below, we have significant exposure to movements in foreign currency exchangerates. We also provide a table showing the Adjusted OIBDA margins (Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue) of our reportable segments for the years ended2017, 2016 and 2015 at the end of this section under Adjusted OIBDA of our Reportable Segments. We do not include share-based compensation in thediscussion and analysis of our other operating and SG&A expenses as share-based compensation expense is not included in our performance measures. Share-based compensation expense is discussed under Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results below.II-6 A significant portion of our revenue is derived from jurisdictions that administer VAT or similar revenue-based taxes. Any increases in these taxes couldhave an adverse impact on our ability to maintain or increase our revenue to the extent that we are unable to pass such tax increases on to our customers. Inthe case of revenue-based taxes for which we are the ultimate taxpayer, we will also experience increases in our operating costs and expenses andcorresponding declines in our Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margins to the extent of any such tax increases.We pay interconnection fees to other telephony providers when calls or text messages from our subscribers terminate on another network, and we receivesimilar fees from such providers when calls or text messages from their customers terminate on our networks or networks that we access through MVNO orother arrangements. The amounts we charge and incur with respect to fixed-line telephony and mobile interconnection fees are subject to regulatoryoversight. To the extent that regulatory authorities introduce fixed-line or mobile termination rate changes, we would experience prospective changes and, invery limited cases, we could experience retroactive changes in our interconnect revenue and/or costs. The ultimate impact of any such changes in terminationrates on our Adjusted OIBDA would be dependent on the call or text messaging patterns that are subject to the changed termination rates.We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to certain costs and foreign currency exchange risk with respect to costs and expenses that aredenominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of our reportable segments (non-functional currency expenses). Any cost increasesthat we are not able to pass on to our subscribers through rate increases would result in increased pressure on our operating margins.Revenue of our Reportable SegmentsGeneral. While not specifically discussed in the below explanations of the changes in the revenue of our reportable segments, we are experiencingsignificant 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 subscribersduring 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 cable and mobile products within a segmentduring 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 ourvideo, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile products. At Liberty Puerto Rico and C&W, variances in revenue during 2017, as compared with2016, were also impacted by Hurricanes Maria and Irma. We have separately identified the impacts of the hurricanes in our below discussion of revenue inorder to provide more meaningful comparisons resulting from changes in RGUs and ARPU. For additional information regarding the impact of the hurricaneson our subscriber counts, see Item 1. Business—Narrative Description of Business—Operating Data.Effective April 1, 2017, we retroactively changed the presentation of our revenue by major category. For additional information, see note 18 to ourconsolidated financial statements.Revenue—2017 compared to 2016Year ended December 31, Increase (decrease) 2017 2016 $ % in millions, except percentages C&W$2,322.1 $1,444.8 $877.3 60.7VTR952.9 859.5 93.4 10.9Liberty Puerto Rico320.5 420.8 (100.3) (23.8)Intersegment eliminations(5.5) (1.3) (4.2) N.M.Total$3,590.0 $2,723.8 $866.2 31.8N.M. — Not Meaningful.II-7 C&W.

For additional information regarding theimpacts of the hurricanes, see Overview above.(e)The decrease in mobile subscription revenue is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) lower revenue in the Bahamas associated with a decrease inthe average number of subscribers and lower ARPU, primarily driven by the commercial launch of mobile services by a competitor during the fourthquarter of 2016, and (ii) higher revenue in Jamaica due to higher ARPU and an increase in the average number of subscribers. The increase in mobilenon-subscription revenue is mostly due to an increase in revenue from handset sales, as a result of lower handset discounts. (f)The increase is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) higher revenue from wholesale services and interconnect fees and (ii) lower revenue frommanaged services, mainly driven by a decrease in project-related revenue. In addition, the increase includes $6 million of organic impacts associatedwith wholesale revenue recognized on a cash basis in 2017 related to services provided to a significant customer in prior periods.II-8 VTR. The details of the changes in VTR’s revenue during 2017, as compared to 2016, are set forth below: Subscriptionrevenue Non-subscriptionrevenue Total in millionsIncrease in residential cable subscription revenue due to change in: Average number of RGUs (a)$13.8 $— $13.8ARPU (b)24.3 — 24.3Decrease in residential cable non-subscription revenue (c)— (9.0) (9.0)Total increase (decrease) in residential cable revenue38.1 (9.0) 29.1Increase in residential mobile revenue (d)12.6 1.0 13.6Increase in B2B revenue (e)11.8 0.3 12.1Total organic increase (decrease)62.5 (7.7) 54.8Impact of FX37.0 1.6 38.6Total$99.5 $(6.1) $93.4(a)The increase is attributable to the net effect of (i) higher broadband internet and video RGUs and (ii) a decline in fixed-line telephony RGUs.(b)The increase is primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher ARPU from video services, (ii) an improvement in RGU mix, (iii) an increase of $4 millionresulting from the impact of unfavorable adjustments recorded during 2016 to reflect the retroactive application of a tariff on ancillary servicesprovided directly to customers for the period from July 2013 through February 2014 and (iv) lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony services.(c)The decrease is primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower advertising revenue, (ii) lower interconnect revenue attributable to decreases in fixed-linetelephony termination volumes and rates, and (iii) higher installation revenue.(d)The increase in mobile subscription revenue is primarily due to a higher average number of mobile subscribers.(e)The increase in subscription revenue is primarily attributable to higher average numbers of broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and video SOHORGUs. A portion of this increase is attributable to the conversion of certain residential subscribers to SOHO subscribers.II-9 Liberty Puerto Rico. The details of the decreases in Liberty Puerto Rico’s revenue during 2017, as compared to 2016, are set forth in the table below. Inorder to provide a meaningful analysis of Liberty Puerto Rico’s business prior to the hurricanes, changes in (i) residential cable subscription revenue due tochanges in the average number of RGUs and ARPU, (ii) residential cable non-subscription revenue, (iii) B2B revenue and (iv) other revenue, each reflectchanges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the corresponding period in 2016, exclusive of the changes resulting from thehurricanes. We present the changes in revenue as a result of the hurricanes separately in the table below. For additional details of the decreases in revenue dueto the hurricanes, see footnote (c) to the table below. Subscriptionrevenue Non-subscriptionrevenue Total in millionsIncrease in residential cable subscription revenue due to change in: Average number of RGUs (a)$6.1 $— $6.1ARPU (b)0.4 — 0.4Increase in residential cable non-subscription revenue— 1.1 1.1Decrease in residential cable revenue as a result of the hurricanes (c)(95.4) (7.0) (102.4)Total decrease in residential cable revenue(88.9) (5.9) (94.8)Increase (decrease) in B2B revenue(1.3) 1.8 0.5Decrease in other revenue— (1.0) (1.0)Decrease in B2B and other revenue as a result of the hurricanes (c)(1.1) (3.9) (5.0)Total$(91.3) $(9.0) $(100.3)(a)The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in broadband internet RGUs that was only partially offset by a decline in video RGUs.(b)The increase is attributable to the net effect of (i) a net increase due to (a) higher ARPU from broadband internet services and (b) lower ARPU fromfixed-line telephony and video services and (ii) an adverse change in RGU mix.(c)Amounts represent the decreases in revenue during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016,resulting from Hurricanes Maria and Irma. These decreases are primarily due to customer credits recorded through December 31, 2017 associated withservice interruptions. Additionally, customer disconnects, reductions in late charges and lower advertising revenue also contributed to the hurricane-related decline during 2017. For additional information regarding the impacts of the hurricanes, see Overview above.Revenue—2016 compared to 2015 Year ended December 31, Increase (decrease) 2016 2015 $ % in millions, except percentages C&W$1,444.8 $— $1,444.8 N.MVTR859.5 838.1 21.4 2.6Liberty Puerto Rico420.8 379.2 41.6 11.0Intersegment eliminations(1.3) — (1.3) N.MTotal$2,723.8 $1,217.3 $1,506.5 123.8N.M. — Not Meaningful.II-10 C&W.

Programming and other direct costs of services include programming and copyright costs, mobile access and interconnect costs, costs of mobilehandsets and other devices and other direct costs related to our operations. Notwithstanding the impact of hurricanes, programming and copyright costs,which represent a significant portion of our operating costs, are expected to rise in future periods as a result of (i) higher costs associated with the expansionof 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 and (iii) growth in the number of our enhanced video subscribers.Programming and other direct costs of services—2017 compared to 2016 Year ended December 31, Increase (decrease) 2017 2016 $ % in millions, except percentages C&W$541.4 $327.6 $213.8 65.3VTR257.9 237.6 20.3 8.5Liberty Puerto Rico82.2 113.3 (31.1) (27.4)Corporate and intersegment eliminations(5.3) (1.3) (4.0) N.M.Total$876.2 $677.2 $199.0 29.4N.M. — Not Meaningful.C&W. The increase in C&W’s programming and other direct costs of services includes (i) increases of $201 million and $13 million attributable to theimpacts of the C&W Acquisition and the C&W Carve-out Acquisition, respectively, and (ii) a decrease of $5 million due to FX. Excluding the effects ofacquisitions and FX, C&W’s programming and other direct costs of services increased $5 million or 1.6%. This increase includes the following factors:•An increase in programming and copyright costs of $13 million or 15.0%, primarily resulting from (i) increased costs associated with basic andpremium content, due to the carriage of live Premier League games and (ii) a $5 million increase resulting from the reassessment of certain contentaccruals during the fourth quarter of 2017. In August 2016, C&W beganII-12 broadcasting live Premier League games in a number of its markets pursuant to a new multi-year agreement. The cost of the rights to broadcast thesegames represents a significant portion of C&W’s programming costs;•A decrease of $10 million in project related costs;•A decrease in mobile handset costs of $3 million or 5.8%, primarily due to lower mobile handset sales in Jamaica and Panama;•An increase in mobile access and interconnect costs of $3 million or 2.4%, primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher international call volumes, (ii)a decline resulting from lower fixed and mobile interconnect rates and (iii) growth in C&W’s B2B business; and•A net increase resulting from other individually insignificant changes in other direct cost categories.VTR. The increase in VTR’s programming and other direct costs of services includes an increase of $10 million due to FX.

The details of the increase in residential revenue for 2017, as compared to 2016, are as follows (in millions):Increase in residential cable subscription revenue due to a change in: Average number of RGUs$19.7ARPU28.4Decrease in residential cable subscription revenue as a result of the hurricanes (a)(100.7)Decrease in residential cable non-subscription revenue(16.5)Decrease in residential cable non-subscription revenue as a result of the hurricanes (a)(7.6)Total decrease in residential cable revenue(76.7)Decrease in residential mobile subscription revenue(2.7)Increase in residential mobile non-subscription revenue6.0Increase in residential mobile revenue as a result of the hurricanes (a)1.0Total organic decrease in residential revenue(72.4)Impact of acquisitions497.2Impact of FX29.4Total increase in residential revenue$454.2(a)For information regarding the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on the revenue of the Impacted Markets, see Overview and Discussion andAnalysis of our Reportable Segments—Revenue of our Reportable Segments above.On an organic basis, excluding the $101 million decrease from the hurricanes, residential cable subscription revenue increased $48 million or 3.4%during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase is attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase from broadband internet services of $39 million or 6.7%,attributable to an increase in the average number of broadband internet RGUs and higher ARPU from broadband internet services, (ii) an increase from videoservices of $18 million or 2.9%, primarily attributable to higher ARPU from video services, and (iii) a decrease from fixed-line telephony services of $9million or 3.6%, attributable to a decrease in the average number of fixed-line telephony RGUs and lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony services.On an organic basis, excluding the $8 million decrease from the hurricanes, residential cable non-subscription revenue decreased $17 million or 14.9%during 2017, as compared to 2016. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in (i) fixed-line telephony interconnect revenue at C&W and VTR and(ii) advertising revenue at VTR.On an organic basis, excluding the $1 million increase from the hurricanes, residential mobile subscription revenue decreased $3 million or 0.6% during2017, as compared to 2016. This decrease is due to the net effect of (i) a decrease at C&W and (ii) an increase at VTR.On an organic basis, residential mobile non-subscription revenue increased $6 million or 9.6% during 2017, as compared to 2016, primarily due to anincrease at C&W.B2B revenue. On an organic basis, excluding the $1 million decrease from the hurricanes, B2B subscription revenue increased $11 million or 33.2%during 2017, as compared to 2016, primarily due to an increase in SOHO revenue at VTR.The increase in B2B non-subscription revenue during 2017, as compared to 2016, includes an increase of $399 million attributable to the impact ofacquisitions and a decrease of $4 million attributable to FX. On an organic basis, excluding the $7 million decrease from the hurricanes, B2B non-subscription revenue increased $16 million or 2.6%, primarily due to an increase at C&W.For additional information concerning the changes in our residential, B2B and other revenue, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments—Revenue of our Reportable Segments above. For information regarding the competitive environment in our markets, see Overview above.II-20 Programming and other direct costs of servicesOur programming and other direct costs of services increased $199 million during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase includes an increase of $214million attributable to the impact of acquisitions. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and FX, our programming and other direct costs of services decreased$20 million or 3.0% during 2017, as compared to 2016. This decrease includes lower programming and copyright costs attributable to a $22 million declineat Liberty Puerto Rico due to credits from vendors and lower utility costs during the third and fourth quarters of 2017 stemming from Hurricanes Irma andMaria. The decrease was also impacted by the net effect of (i) higher basic and premium content costs, primarily related to the carriage of live Premier Leaguegames at C&W, (ii) declines in project-related costs at C&W and (iii) higher interconnect costs at VTR. For additional information regarding the changes inour programming and other direct costs of services, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments—Programming and Other Direct Costs ofServices of our Reportable Segments above.Other operating expensesOur other operating expenses increased $204 million during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase includes an increase of $177 million attributableto the impact of acquisitions. Our other operating expenses include share-based compensation expense, which decreased $1 million during 2017, ascompared to 2016. For additional information, see the discussion under Share-based compensation expense (included in other operating and SG&Aexpenses) below. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, FX and share-based compensation expense, our other operating expenses increased $25 million or5.3% during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in (i) network-related expenses, (ii) bad debt and collectionexpenses and (iii) outsourced labor and professional fees. For additional information regarding the changes in our other operating expenses, see Discussionand Analysis of our Reportable Segments—Other Operating Expenses of our Reportable Segments above.SG&A expensesOur SG&A expenses increased $171 million during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase includes an increase of $172 million attributable to theimpact of acquisitions. Our SG&A expenses include share-based compensation expense, which remained relatively unchanged during 2017, as compared to2016. For additional information, see the discussion under Share-based compensation expense (included in other operating and SG&A expenses) below.Excluding the effects of acquisitions, FX and share-based compensation expense, our SG&A expenses decreased $4 million or 0.8% during 2017, ascompared to 2016. This decrease is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease in outsourced labor and professional fees, primarily due to adecline in costs related to the integration of C&W’s operations with ours, (ii) a decrease in personnel costs, (iii) an increase in information technology relatedfees and (iv) an increase in facilities related expenses. For additional information regarding the changes in our SG&A expenses, see Discussion and Analysisof our Reportable Segments—SG&A Expenses of our Reportable Segments above.Share-based compensation expense (included in other operating and SG&A expenses)We recognized share-based compensation expense of $14 million and $15 million during 2017 and 2016, respectively. The expense recognized includes(i) amounts allocated to our company by Liberty Global prior to the Split-Off, (ii) amounts related to the VTR Plan and (iii) amounts related to the LibertyPuerto Rico Plan. The amounts allocated by Liberty Global to our company represent the share-based compensation expense associated with Liberty Globalshare-based incentive awards held by our employees.For additional information regarding our share-based compensation, see note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.Depreciation and amortization expenseOur depreciation and amortization expense increased $206 million or 35.1% during 2017, as compared to 2016. Excluding the effect of FX, depreciationand amortization expense increased $202 million or 34.4%, primarily due to the C&W Acquisition. In addition, the increase includes the net effect of (i) anincrease associated with property and equipment additions related to the installation of customer premises equipment, the expansion and upgrade of ournetworks and other capital initiatives and (ii) a decrease associated with certain assets becoming fully depreciated, primarily at VTR.Impairment, restructuring and other operating items, netWe recognized impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, of $708 million and $154 million during 2017 and 2016 , respectively.The 2017 amount includes impairment charges of $660 million, which primarily includes (i) $337 million recorded during the third and fourth quartersrelated to charges at Liberty Puerto Rico and C&W to reduce the carrying values of goodwill, propertyII-21 and equipment, and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria and (ii) $318 million associated with ourannual goodwill assessment with respect to certain C&W reporting units. We concluded impairments were necessary at certain C&W reporting units,primarily as a result of greater than expected impacts of competition and, in the case of one smaller C&W reporting unit, a longer expected recovery periodfrom Hurricane Irma. The 2017 amount also includes restructuring charges of $41 million, including $35 million of employee severance and terminationcosts related to certain reorganization and integration activities, primarily at C&W and VTR.Further impairment charges may be required if we experience declines in the fair value of C&W’s reporting units or the Liberty Puerto Rico reportingunit. Any such impairment charges could be significant. For additional information regarding our 2017 impairment charges, see note 8 to our consolidatedfinancial statements.The 2016 amount includes (i) direct acquisition costs of $119 million related to the C&W Acquisition and (ii) restructuring charges of $34 million. Thedirect acquisition costs incurred during 2016 include transfer and stamp taxes, as well as investment banking and other advisory fees.

For additional information regarding ourrestructuring charges, see note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.Interest expenseOur interest expense increased $67 million during 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) higher averageoutstanding debt balances, largely due to the debt incurred in connection with the C&W Acquisition, and (ii) lower weighted average interest rates related tothe completion of certain refinancing transactions, including the redemption of certain senior notes in September 2017 that resulted in extended maturitiesand decreases to certain of our interest rates.For additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.It is possible that the interest rates on (i) any new borrowings could be higher than the current interest rates on our existing indebtedness and (ii) ourvariable-rate indebtedness could increase in future periods. As further discussed in note 5 to our consolidated financial statements and under Item 7A.Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk below, we use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risks.Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, netThe details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 in millions Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (a)$(157.8) $(216.8)Foreign currency forward contracts(12.3) (9.1)Total$(170.1) $(225.9) (a)The loss during 2017 is attributable to the net effect of a loss primarily resulting from an increase in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S.dollar and a gain resulting from changes in interest rates.

The2017 amount includes the net impact of (i) the payment of $85 million of redemption premiums and (ii) a net gain of $37 million associated with the write-offof unamortized premiums, discounts and deferred financing costs and (iii) the payment of $4 million of third-party costs. The 2016 amount includes the netimpact of (i) the write-off of $19 million of unamortized premiums and (ii) the payment of $18 million of redemption premiums.For additional information concerning our gains (losses) on debt modification and extinguishment, net, see note 9 to our consolidated financialstatements.Other income, netWe recognized other income, net of $7 million and $12 million during 2017 and 2016, respectively. The 2017 amount includes third-party interestincome and costs in connection with the Split-Off. The 2016 amount primarily includes related-party interest income related to our loans receivable and cashand cash equivalents.Income tax expenseOn July 11, 2017, Liberty Latin America was formed as a corporation in Bermuda and, therefore, the “statutory” or “expected” tax rate for the 2017 taxyear is 0% as we are are exempt from income taxes on ordinary income and capital gains. However, a majority of our subsidiaries operate in jurisdictionswhere income tax is imposed at local applicable statutory rates. For additional information, see note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.We recognized income tax expense of $148 million and $306 million during 2017 and 2016, respectively. The income tax expense during 2017 differsfrom the expected income tax (expense) benefit of nil (based on the Bermuda statutory income tax rate of 0%), primarily due to the net effect of (i) an increasedue to non-deductible expenses, (ii) a decrease due to international rate differences, which reflects the computed net tax benefit on pre-tax book income (loss)in each taxable jurisdiction, (iii) an increase due to the effect of non-deductible goodwill impairments and (iv) a decrease due to the beneficial effects ofenacted corporate income tax rate changes, primarily in Trinidad and Tobago and the U.S.For additional information regarding our income taxes, see note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.Net earnings (loss)During 2017 and 2016, we reported net losses of $799 million and $404 million, respectively, including (i) operating income (loss) of ($148 million)and $319 million, respectively, (ii) net non-operating expenses of $503 million and $417 million, respectively, and (iii) income tax expense of $148 millionand $306 million, respectively.Gains or losses associated with (i) changes in the fair values of derivative instruments and (ii) movements in foreign currency exchange rates are subjectto 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 thefuture from these sources or from other non-operating items, our ability to achieve earnings is largely dependent on our ability to increase our aggregateAdjusted 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.II-23 Due largely to the fact that we seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns, as discussed under Liquidity and CapitalResources—Capitalization below, we expect that we will continue to report significant levels of interest expense for the foreseeable future. For informationconcerning our expectations with respect to trends that may affect certain aspects of our operating results in future periods, see the discussion under Overviewabove. For information concerning the reasons for changes in specific line items in our consolidated statements of operations, see the discussions underDiscussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments and Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results above.Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interestsDuring 2017 and 2016, we reported net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of ($21 million) and $28 million, respectively. The changein net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests during 2017, as compared to 2016, is primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interests in (i)the results of operations of Liberty Puerto Rico and (ii) the results of C&W’s less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries following the C&W Acquisition.Effective September 1, 2017, we acquired all of the issued outstanding common shares of C&W Barbados that we did not already own.

The increase during 2016, as compared to 2015, includes an increase of $1,483 million attributable to the impact of acquisitions and adecrease of $29 million attributable to FX. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and FX, revenue increased $53 million or 4.3%.II-24 Residential revenue. The details of the increase in residential revenue for 2016, as compared to 2015, are as follows (in millions):Increase in residential cable subscription revenue due to a change in: Average number of RGUs$21.6ARPU20.6Decrease in residential cable non-subscription revenue(4.6)Total increase in residential cable revenue37.6Increase in residential mobile subscription revenue6.8Increase in residential mobile non-subscription revenue2.2Total organic increase in residential revenue46.6Impact of acquisitions865.3Impact of FX(29.2)Total increase in residential revenue$882.7On an organic basis, residential cable subscription revenue increased $42 million or 3.9% during 2016, as compared to 2015. This increase is attributableto the net effect of (i) an increase from broadband internet services of $44 million or 10.8%, due to an increase in the average number of broadband internetRGUs and higher ARPU from broadband internet services, (ii) a decrease from fixed-line telephony services of $11 million or 6.2%, due to lower ARPU fromfixed-line telephony services and a decrease in the average number of fixed-line telephony RGUs, and (iii) an increase from video services of $9 million or1.8%, primarily attributable to higher ARPU from video services.On an organic basis, residential cable non-subscription revenue decreased $5 million or 7.4% during 2016, as compared to 2015, primarily attributableto a decrease in advertising revenue mostly at VTR.On an organic basis, residential mobile subscription revenue increased $7 million or 19.3% during 2016, as compared to 2015, due to an increase atVTR.B2B revenue. The increase in B2B subscription revenue during 2016, as compared to 2015, includes an increase of $2 million attributable to the impactof the Choice Acquisition. On an organic basis, B2B subscription revenue increased $6 million or 23.1% due to increases in SOHO revenue at VTR andLiberty Puerto Rico.For additional information concerning the changes in our residential, B2B and other revenue, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments—Revenue of our Reportable Segments above. For information regarding the competitive environment in our markets, see Overview above.Programming and other direct costs of servicesOur programming and other direct costs of services increased $340 million during 2016, as compared to 2015. This increase includes an increase of $336million attributable to the impacts of the C&W Acquisition and the Choice Acquisition. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and FX, our programming andother direct costs of services increased $12 million or 3.4% during 2016, as compared to 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) anincrease in programming and copyright costs, (ii) an increase in mobile handset costs and (iii) a decrease in mobile access and interconnect costs. Foradditional information regarding the changes in our programming and other direct costs of services, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments—Programming and Other Direct Costs of Services of our Reportable Segments above.Other operating expensesOur other operating expenses increased $270 million during 2016, as compared to 2015. This increase includes an increase of $276 million attributableto the impacts of the C&W Acquisition and the Choice Acquisition. Our other operating expenses include share-based compensation expense, whichincreased $1 million during 2016. For additional information, see the discussion under Share-based compensation expense (included in other operating andSG&A expenses) below. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and FX, our other operating expenses decreased $1 million or 0.7% during 2016, as comparedto 2015. This decrease is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease in personnel costs, (ii) a decrease in outsourced labor and professional feesand (iii) an increase in network-related expenses. For additional information regarding the changes in our other operating expenses, see Discussion andAnalysis of our Reportable Segments—Other Operating Expenses of our Reportable Segments above.II-25 SG&A expensesOur SG&A expenses increased $321 million during 2016, as compared to 2015. This increase includes an increase of $310 million attributable to theimpacts of the C&W Acquisition and the Choice Acquisition. Our SG&A expenses include share-based compensation expense, which increased $12 millionduring 2016. For additional information, see the discussion under Share-based compensation expense (included in other operating and SG&A expenses)below. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, FX and share-based compensation expense, our SG&A expenses increased $4 million or 1.9% during 2016, ascompared to 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase in information technology-related expenses, (ii) an increase inpersonnel costs, (iii) a decrease in facilities expenses, (iv) an increase in outsourced labor and professional fees and (v) a decrease in other expense categorieswith individually insignificant changes. For additional information regarding the changes in our SG&A expenses, see Discussion and Analysis of ourReportable Segments—SG&A Expenses of our Reportable Segments above.Share-based compensation expense (included in other operating and SG&A expenses)We recognized share-based compensation expense of $15 million and $2 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively. For additional informationregarding our share-based compensation, see note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.Depreciation and amortization expenseOur depreciation and amortization expense increased $371 million or 171.4% during 2016, as compared to 2015. Excluding the effect of FX,depreciation and amortization expense increased $375 million or 173.3%. This increase is primarily due to the net effect of (i) an increase associated withacquisitions, primarily the C&W Acquisition, (ii) a decrease associated with certain assets becoming fully depreciated and (iii) an increase associated withproperty and equipment additions related to the installation of customer premises equipment, the expansion and upgrade of our networks and other capitalinitiatives.Impairment, restructuring and other operating items, netWe recognized impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, of $154 million and $20 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively.The 2016 amount includes (i) direct acquisition costs of $119 million related to the C&W Acquisition and (ii) restructuring charges of $34 million. Thedirect acquisition costs incurred during 2016 include transfer and stamp taxes, as well as investment banking and other advisory fees. The restructuringcharges include (i) $17 million of employee severance and termination costs related to certain reorganization activities, primarily at VTR, and (ii) $17million of contract termination and other costs related to (a) the write-off of a prepaid indefeasible right of use for telecommunications capacity by LibertyPuerto Rico due to the abandonment of this capacity in favor of capacity on C&W’s network and (b) contract termination charges, primarily at VTR.The 2015 amount includes (i) restructuring charges of $14 million, including (a) $11 million of contract termination costs and (b) $3 million ofemployee severance and termination costs related to certain reorganization activities in connection with the Choice Acquisition, and (ii) direct acquisitioncosts of $7 million related to the Choice Acquisition and the C&W Acquisition.For additional information regarding our acquisitions, see note 4 to our consolidated financial statements. For additional information regarding ourrestructuring charges, see note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.Interest expenseOur interest expense increased $157 million during 2016, as compared to 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to a higher average outstandingdebt balance, primarily due to the debt incurred in connection with the C&W Acquisition.For additional information regarding our third-party indebtedness, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.II-26 Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, netThe details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 in millions Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (a)$(216.8) $217.0Foreign currency forward contracts(9.1) 10.3Total$(225.9) $227.3 (a)The loss during 2016 is primarily attributable to the net effect of a loss resulting from changes in FX rates and a gain resulting from changes in interestrates. In addition, the loss during 2016 includes a net gain of $12 million resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments. The gainduring 2015 is primarily attributable to gains from changes in FX rates and interest rates. In addition, the gain during 2015 includes a net loss of $1million resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments.For additional information regarding our derivative instruments, see notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements.Foreign currency transaction gains (losses), netThe details of our foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net, are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 in millions U.S. dollar-denominated debt issued by a Chilean peso functional currency entity$82.8 $(215.8)British pound sterling-denominated debt issued by a U.S dollar functional currency entity32.1 —Other(4.8) (7.6)Total$110.1 $(223.4)Gains on debt modification and extinguishment, netWe recognized a gain on debt modification and extinguishment, net, of $1 million and nil during 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 2016 amountincludes the net impact of (i) the write-off of $19 million of unamortized premiums and (ii) the payment of $18 million of redemption premiums.For additional information regarding our debt, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.Other income (expense), netWe recognized other income (expense), net of $12 million and ($2 million) during 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 2016 amount primarily includesinterest income associated with our related-party loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The 2015 amount primarily includes VTR’s share of the netlosses of its then equity method affiliates.Income tax expenseWe recognized income tax expense of $306 million and $47 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively.The income tax expense during 2016 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $20 million (based on the U.K. statutory income tax rate of 20.0%)primarily due to the negative impacts of (i) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of interest and other items, (ii)certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments and (iii) a net increase in valuationallowances.The income tax expense during 2015 differs from the expected income tax expense of $19 million (based on the blended U.K. statutory income tax rateof 20.25%) primarily due to the negative impacts of (i) a net increase in valuation allowances, (ii) certainII-27 permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments and (iii) certain permanent differencesbetween the financial and tax accounting treatment of interest and other items.For additional information regarding our income taxes, see note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.Net earnings (loss)During 2016 and 2015, we reported net earnings (loss) of ($404 million) and $46 million, respectively, including (i) operating income of $319 millionand $248 million, respectively, (ii) net non-operating expenses of $417 million and $156 million, respectively, and (iii) income tax expense of $306 millionand $47 million, respectively.Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interestsDuring 2016 and 2015, we reported net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $28 million and $8 million, respectively. The increase in netearnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during 2016, as compared to 2015, is primarily attributable to the noncontrolling interests in (i) the results ofC&W’s less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries following the C&W Acquisition and (ii) the results of operations of Liberty Puerto Rico.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesSources and Uses of CashEach of our reportable segments is separately financed within one of our three primary “borrowing groups.” These borrowing groups include therespective restricted parent and subsidiary entities within C&W, VTR Finance and Liberty Puerto Rico. Our borrowing groups, which typically generate cashfrom operating activities, accounted for a significant portion of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017. Our ability to access theliquidity of these and other subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests, foreign currency exchangerestrictions with respect to certain C&W subsidiaries and other factors.Cash and cash equivalentsThe details of the U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017 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)$105.3Unrestricted subsidiaries (b)28.1Total Liberty Latin America and unrestricted subsidiaries133.4Borrowing groups (c): C&W (d)266.1VTR Finance89.4Liberty Puerto Rico41.0Total borrowing groups396.5Total cash and cash equivalents$529.9(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 relyon funds provided by our borrowing groups to satisfy their liquidity needs.(c)Except as otherwise noted, represents the aggregate amounts held by the parent entity of the applicable borrowing group and their restrictedsubsidiaries.(d)C&W’s subsidiaries hold the majority of C&W’s consolidated cash. Due to restrictions contained within the debt agreements of certain C&Wsubsidiaries, a significant portion of the cash held by C&W subsidiaries is not considered to be an immediate source of corporate liquidity for C&W.II-28 Liquidity of Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiariesOur current sources of corporate liquidity include (i) cash and cash equivalents of $105 million held by Liberty Latin America and, subject to certain taxand legal considerations, $28 million held by 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 LatinAmerica and its unrestricted subsidiaries may also receive (i) proceeds in the form of distributions or loan repayments from Liberty Latin America’s borrowinggroups or affiliates, upon (a) the completion of recapitalizations, refinancings, asset sales or similar transactions by these entities or (b) the accumulation ofexcess cash from operations or other means, (ii) proceeds upon the disposition of investments and other assets of Liberty Latin America and its unrestrictedsubsidiaries and (iii) proceeds in connection with the incurrence of debt by Liberty Latin America or its unrestricted subsidiaries or the issuance of equitysecurities by Liberty Latin America. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to Liberty Latin America or its unrestrictedsubsidiaries on favorable terms, or at all. As noted above, various factors may limit our ability to access the cash of our borrowing groups. For informationregarding certain limitations imposed by our subsidiaries’ debt instruments at December 31, 2017, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.Our corporate liquidity requirements include (i) corporate general and administrative expenses and (ii) other liquidity needs that may arise from time totime. In addition, Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries may require cash in connection with (i) the repayment of third-party andintercompany 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, including our commitment to fund our portion of any potential liquidityshortfalls of Liberty Puerto Rico through December 31, 2018 of up to $36 million, as further described below.Prior to the Split-Off, Liberty Global had a share repurchase program with respect to its LiLAC Shares. Liberty Latin America currently does not have ashare repurchase program with respect to its common shares.Liquidity of borrowing groupsThe cash and cash equivalents of our borrowing groups are detailed in the table above. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the primary sources ofliquidity of our borrowing groups are cash provided by operations, borrowing availability under their respective debt instruments and, with respect to LibertyPuerto Rico, a $60 million commitment from its shareholders through December 31, 2018. For the details of the borrowing availability of such subsidiaries atDecember 31, 2017, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned sources of liquidity may be supplemented in certain cases bycontributions and/or loans from Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries. The liquidity of our borrowing groups generally is used to fundproperty and equipment additions, debt service requirements and income tax payments. From time to time, our borrowing groups may also require liquidityin connection with (i) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (ii) loans to Liberty Latin America, (iii) capital distributions to Liberty Latin Americaand other equity owners or (iv) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to ourborrowing groups on favorable terms, or at all. For information regarding our borrowing groups’ commitments and contingencies, see note 17 to ourconsolidated financial statements.On December 20, 2017, in connection with challenging circumstances that Liberty Puerto Rico is experiencing as a result of the damage caused byHurricanes Irma and Maria, the LPR Credit Agreements were amended to (i) provide Liberty Puerto Rico with relief from complying with leverage covenantsthrough December 31, 2018, (ii) increase the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio covenant from 4.5:1 to 5.0:1 beginning with the March 31, 2019quarterly test date, (iii) restrict Liberty Puerto Rico’s ability to make certain types of payments to its shareholders through December 31, 2018 and (iv)include an equity commitment of up to $60 million from Liberty Puerto Rico’s shareholders through December 31, 2018 to fund any potential liquidityshortfalls. Based on our 60% ownership in Liberty Puerto Rico, we are obligated for $36 million of this equity commitment.Hurricanes Irma and Maria are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on Liberty Puerto Rico’s cash flows and liquidity. For additionalinformation, see the discussion under Overview above.For additional information regarding our cash flows, see the discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources—Consolidated Statements of Cash Flowsbelow.II-29 CapitalizationWe seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns without assuming undue risk. In this regard, we generally seek to causeour operating subsidiaries to maintain their debt at levels that result in a debt balance (measured using subsidiary debt figures at swapped foreign currencyexchange rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements) that is typically between four and five times ourconsolidated Adjusted OIBDA, although the timing of our acquisitions and financing transactions and the interplay of average and spot foreign currencyrates may impact this ratio. The ratio of our December 31, 2017 consolidated debt to our annualized consolidated Adjusted OIBDA for the quarter endedDecember 31, 2017 was 5.5x. In addition, the ratio of our December 31, 2017 consolidated net debt (debt, as defined above, less cash and cash equivalents) toour annualized consolidated Adjusted OIBDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was 5.1x. These ratios have increased during the fourth quarter of2017 due to the adverse impacts of the hurricanes on our Adjusted OIBDA. However, assuming our debt levels remain relatively consistent, we expect theseratios to decrease in future periods as we continue to recover from the adverse impacts of the hurricanes.When it is cost effective, we generally seek to match the denomination of the borrowings of our subsidiaries with the functional currency of theoperations that support the respective borrowings. As further discussed under Item 7A. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk and innote 5 to our consolidated financial statements, we also use derivative instruments to mitigate foreign currency and interest rate risks associated with our debtinstruments.Our ability to service or refinance our debt and to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in the credit agreements and indentures of ourborrowing groups is dependent primarily on our ability to maintain or increase the Adjusted OIBDA of our operating subsidiaries and to achieve adequatereturns on our property and equipment additions and acquisitions. In addition, our ability to obtain additional debt financing is limited by incurrence-basedleverage covenants contained in the various debt instruments of our borrowing groups. For example, if the Adjusted OIBDA of C&W were to decline, ourability to obtain additional debt could be limited. No assurance can be given that we would have sufficient sources of liquidity, or that any external fundingwould be available on favorable terms, or at all, to fund any such required repayment. At December 31, 2017, each of our borrowing groups was incompliance with its debt covenants. We do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance with respect to the debt covenants of our borrowing groups thatwould have a material adverse impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months.At December 31, 2017, the outstanding principal amount of our debt, together with our capital lease obligations, aggregated $6,398 million, including$263 million that is classified as current in our consolidated balance sheet and $5,664 million that is not due until 2022 or thereafter. All of our debt andcapital lease obligations have been borrowed or incurred by our subsidiaries at December 31, 2017. For additional information concerning our debt andcapital lease obligations, including our debt maturities, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.Notwithstanding our negative working capital position at December 31, 2017, we believe that we have sufficient resources to repay or refinance thecurrent portion of our debt and capital lease obligations and to fund our foreseeable liquidity requirements during the next 12 months. However, as our debtmaturities 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 beable to complete refinancing transactions or otherwise extend our debt maturities. In this regard, it is difficult to predict how political and economicconditions, sovereign debt concerns or any adverse regulatory developments will impact the credit and equity markets we access and our future financialposition. 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 failedfinancial institution, (ii) tightening of the credit markets and (iii) in the case of Liberty Puerto Rico, by the adverse impacts of the hurricanes on itsoperations. For additional information regarding the impacts of the hurricanes, see the related discussion under Overview above and note 9 to ourconsolidated financial statements. In addition, any weakness in the equity markets could make it less attractive to use our shares to satisfy contingent or otherobligations, and sustained or increased competition, particularly in combination with adverse economic or regulatory developments, could have anunfavorable impact on our cash flows and liquidity.II-30 Consolidated Statements of Cash FlowsGeneral. Our cash flows are subject to variations due to FX. For further information, see related discussion under Item 7A. Quantitative and QualitativeDisclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk below.Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows—2017 compared to 2016Summary. Our 2017 and 2016 consolidated statements of cash flows are summarized as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 Change in millions Net cash provided by operating activities$573.9 $468.2 $105.7Net cash used by investing activities(640.1) (441.1) (199.0)Net cash provided by financing activities41.8 247.3 (205.5)Effect of exchange rate changes on cash1.7 3.7 (2.0)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$(22.7) $278.1 $(300.8)Operating Activities. The increase in total net cash provided by our operating activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a net increase fromour Adjusted OIBDA and related working capital items, including an increase due to the impacts of the C&W Acquisition and the C&W Carve-outAcquisition, and (ii) a decrease due to higher cash payments of interest, including higher payments due to the impact of the C&W Acquisition.Investing Activities. The increase in total net cash used by our investing activities is primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures. Capitalexpenditures increased from $490 million during 2016 to $639 million during 2017, primarily due to the impact of the C&W Acquisition, which waspartially offset by a decrease associated with changes in working capital.The capital expenditures that we report in our consolidated statements of cash flows do not include amounts that are financed under capital-relatedvendor financing or capital lease arrangements. Instead, these amounts are reflected as non-cash additions to our property and equipment when theunderlying 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 inour consolidated statements of cash flows, which exclude amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or capital lease arrangements, and (ii) ourtotal property and equipment additions, which include our capital expenditures on an accrual basis and amounts financed under capital-related vendorfinancing or capital lease arrangements. For further details regarding our property and equipment additions, see note 18 to our consolidated financialstatements.A reconciliation of our property and equipment additions to our capital expenditures, as reported in our statements of cash flows, is set forth below: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 in millions Property and equipment additions$776.7 $568.2Assets acquired under capital-related vendor financing arrangements(54.9) (45.5)Assets acquired under capital leases(4.2) (7.4)Changes in current liabilities related to capital expenditures(78.3) (24.9)Capital expenditures$639.3 $490.4The increase in our property and equipment additions during 2017, as compared to 2016, is primarily due to the impact of the C&W Acquisition. During2017 and 2016, our property and equipment additions represented 21.6% and 20.9% of revenue, respectively.We expect the percentage of revenue represented by our aggregate 2018 property and equipment additions to range from 19% to 21%. The actualamount of the 2018 consolidated property and equipment additions may vary from expected amounts for a variety of reasons, including (i) changes in (a) thecompetitive or regulatory environment, (b) business plans, (c) our expectedII-31 future operating results and (d) foreign currency exchange rates and (ii) the availability of sufficient capital. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that ouractual property and equipment additions will not vary materially from our expectations.Financing Activities. The decrease in total net cash provided by our financing activities is primarily attributable to (i) $75 million related to lower netborrowings of third-party debt and capital lease obligations, (ii) $73 million due to higher payments of financing costs, (iii) $35 million due to an increase indistributions to our former parent entity and (iv) $32 million paid during 2017 in connection with the C&W Barbados NCI Acquisition. The increase indistributions to our former parent entity was the result of $55 million distributed to Liberty Global during 2017 that was used to repurchase LiLAC Shares,compared with distributions of only $20 million for the same use during 2016.Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows—2016 compared to 2015Summary. Our 2016 and 2015 consolidated statements of cash flows are summarized as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 Change in millions Net cash provided by operating activities$468.2 $310.2 $158.0Net cash used by investing activities(441.1) (490.6) 49.5Net cash provided by financing activities247.3 360.0 (112.7)Effect of exchange rate changes on cash3.7 (12.2) 15.9Net increase in cash and cash equivalents$278.1 $167.4 $110.7Operating Activities. The increase in net cash provided by our operating activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase from ourAdjusted OIBDA and related working capital items, a significant portion of which is due to the impact of the C&W Acquisition, (ii) a decrease due to highercash payments for interest, (iii) a decrease due to higher cash payments for taxes and (iv) an increase due to lower cash payments related to derivativeinstruments.Investing Activities. The decrease in net cash used by our investing activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease of $290 millionassociated with lower cash paid in connection with acquisitions and (ii) an increase of $263 million related to higher capital expenditures, primarily due tothe impact of the C&W Acquisition.A reconciliation of our property and equipment additions to our capital expenditures, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows, is set forthbelow: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 in millions Property and equipment additions$568.2 $227.1Assets acquired under capital-related vendor financing arrangements(45.5) —Assets acquired under capital leases(7.4) —Changes in current liabilities related to capital expenditures(24.9) 0.1Capital expenditures$490.4 $227.2The increase in our property and equipment additions during 2016, as compared to 2015, is primarily due to the net effect of (i) an increase due to theimpacts of the C&W Acquisition and the Choice Acquisition, (ii) an increase in expenditures for (a) the purchase and installation of customer premisesequipment, (b) new build and upgrade projects and (c) support capital, such as information technology upgrades and general support systems, and (iii) adecrease due to FX. During 2016 and 2015, our property and equipment additions represented 20.9% and 18.7% of revenue, respectively.Financing Activities. The decrease in net cash provided by our financing activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease of $119million due to a decline in the net amounts received from our former parent entity, (ii) an increase of $104 million related to higher net borrowings of third-party debt and capital lease obligations, (iii) a decrease of $62 million due to higher distributions to noncontrolling interests and (iv) a decrease of $26million due to higher payments of financing costs.II-32 Adjusted Free Cash FlowWe define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by our operating activities, plus (i) cash payments for third-party costs directly associated withsuccessful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions and (ii) expenses financed by an intermediary, less (a) capital expenditures, (b) distributions tononcontrolling interest owners, (c) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries and (d) principal payments on capital leases. Wechanged the way we define adjusted free cash flow effective December 31, 2017 to deduct distributions to noncontrolling interest owners. This change wasgiven effect for all periods presented. We believe that our presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to our investors because thismeasure can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Adjusted free cash flow should not be understood torepresent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, which are notdeducted to arrive at this amount. Investors should view adjusted free cash flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of liquidityincluded in our consolidated statements of cash flows.The following table provides the details of our adjusted free cash flow: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 in millions Net cash provided by operating activities$573.9 $468.2 $310.2Cash payments for direct acquisition and disposition costs4.2 86.0 4.9Expenses financed by an intermediary (a)82.7 3.0 —Capital expenditures(639.3) (490.4) (227.2)Distributions to noncontrolling interest owners(45.9) (61.9) —Principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries(59.4) — —Principal payments on capital leases(8.6) (5.2) (0.8)Adjusted free cash flow$(92.4) $(0.3) $87.1(a)For purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses financed by an intermediary are treated as hypothetical operating cash outflowsand hypothetical financing cash inflows when the expenses are incurred. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflowsin our consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our adjusted free cash flow definition, we add back the hypothetical operating cashoutflow when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.Off Balance Sheet ArrangementsIn the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/orfinancial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making anymaterial payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future. For information concerning certain indemnificationsprovided by C&W, see note 17 to our consolidated financial statements.II-33 Contractual CommitmentsThe following table sets forth the U.S. dollar equivalents of our commitments as of December 31, 2017: Payments due during Total 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter in millions Debt (excluding interest)$256.9 $246.1 $79.1 $134.9 $1,625.1 $4,038.4 $6,380.5Capital leases (excluding interest)6.5 9.4 1.5 0.1 — — 17.5Programming commitments142.5 45.4 12.1 5.5 5.0 — 210.5Network and connectivity commitments84.5 54.6 18.6 15.8 12.6 25.3 211.4Purchase commitments113.4 26.4 5.7 3.3 3.2 6.4 158.4Operating leases29.4 20.0 16.3 12.7 10.7 23.3 112.4Other commitments5.0 3.0 1.3 1.3 1.3 11.4 23.3Total (a)$638.2 $404.9 $134.6 $173.6 $1,657.9 $4,104.8 $7,114.0Projected cash interest payments on debt and capitallease obligations (b)$371.2 $369.0 $352.9 $349.0 $302.0 $597.1 $2,341.2(a)The commitments included in this table do not reflect any liabilities that are included in our December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet other thandebt and capital lease obligations. Our liability for uncertain tax positions in the various jurisdictions in which we operate ($305 million atDecember 31, 2017) has been excluded from the table as the amount and timing of any related payments are not subject to reasonable estimation.(b)Amounts are based on interest rates, interest payment dates, commitment fees and contractual maturities in effect as of December 31, 2017. Theseamounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and will likely differ from the actual cash payments required in future periods. In addition, theamounts presented do not include the impact of our interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts.For information concerning our debt and capital lease obligations, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements. For information concerning ourcommitments, see note 17 to our consolidated financial statements.In addition to the commitments set forth in the table above, we have commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans andsimilar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding projected cash flows associated with ourderivative instruments, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Projected Cash Flows Associated with DerivativeInstruments below. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the net cash paid or received in connection with these instruments during2017, 2016 and 2015, see note 5 to our consolidated financial statements. For information regarding our defined benefit plans, see note 14 to ourconsolidated financial statements.II-34 Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and EstimatesIn connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are defined as thosepolicies that are reflective of significant judgments, estimates and uncertainties, which would potentially result in materially different results under differentassumptions and conditions. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because ofthe judgment necessary to account for these matters and the significant estimates involved, which are susceptible to change:•Impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets (including goodwill);•Costs associated with construction and installation activities;•Fair value measurements in acquisition accounting; and•Income tax accounting.For additional information concerning our significant accounting policies, see note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.Impairment of Property and Equipment and Intangible AssetsThe aggregate carrying value of our property and equipment and intangible assets (including goodwill) that was held for use comprised 86% of our totalassets at December 31, 2017.When circumstances warrant, we review the carrying amounts of our property and equipment and our intangible assets (other than goodwill and otherindefinite-lived intangible assets) to determine whether such carrying amounts continue to be recoverable. Such changes in circumstance may include (i) theimpact of natural disasters such as hurricanes, (ii) an expectation of a sale or disposal of a long-lived asset or asset group, (iii) adverse changes in market orcompetitive conditions, (iv) an adverse change in legal factors or business climate in the markets in which we operate and (v) operating or cash flow losses.For purposes of impairment testing, long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows are largely independent of other assets andliabilities, generally at or below the reporting unit level (see below). If the carrying amount of the asset or asset group is greater than the expectedundiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset or asset group, an impairment adjustment is recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amountthat the carrying value of such asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. We generally measure fair value by considering (i) sale prices for similar assets,(ii) discounted estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate and/or (iii) estimated replacement cost. Assets to be disposed of are recorded atthe lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.We evaluate goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily cable television franchise rights) for impairment at least annually onOctober 1 and whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For impairment evaluations with respect toboth goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if the goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangiblemay be impaired. In the case of goodwill, if it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fairvalue of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to asa “component”). Goodwill impairment is recorded as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value and is charged to operations. Withrespect to other indefinite-lived intangible assets, if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carryingvalue, we then estimate its fair value and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is also charged to operations as an impairment loss.When required, considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of reporting units and underlying long-lived and indefinite-lived assets. We typically determine fair value using an income-based approach (discounted cash flows) based on assumptions in our long-range businessplans, a market-based approach, or a combination of an income-based and market-based approach. With respect to our discounted cash flow analysis used inthe income-based approach, the timing and amount of future cash flows under these business plans require estimates of, among other items, subscriber growthand retention rates, rates charged per product, expected gross margins and Adjusted OIBDA margins and expected property and equipment additions. Thedevelopment of these cash flows, and the discount rate applied to the cash flows, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and actual results could varysignificantly from such estimates. Our determination of the discount rate is based on a weighted average cost of capital approach, which uses a marketparticipant’s cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt and reflects the risks inherent in the cash flows. With respect to a market-based approach, the fair valueof a reporting unit is estimated based upon a market multiple typically applied to the reporting unit’s Adjusted OIBDA. We determine the market multiple foreach reporting unit taking the following into consideration: (i) public company trading multiples for entities with similar business characteristics as therespectiveII-35 reporting unit, a “trading multiple;” and (ii) multiples derived from the value of recent transactions for businesses with similar operations and ingeographically similar locations, a “transaction multiple”. Changes in the underlying assumptions used in both the income-based and market-valuevaluation methods can result in materially different determinations of fair value. For additional information regarding impairments recorded during 2017, seenotes 6 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements.Further impairment charges may be required if we experience declines in the fair value of C&W’s reporting units or the Liberty Puerto Rico reportingunit.Costs Associated with Construction and Installation ActivitiesWe capitalize costs associated with the construction of new cable and mobile transmission and distribution facilities, the installation of new cableservices and the development of software supporting our operations. Installation activities that are capitalized include (i) the initial connection (or drop) fromour cable system to a customer location, (ii) the replacement of a drop and (iii) the installation of equipment for additional services, such as digital cable,telephone or broadband internet service. The costs of other customer-facing activities, such as reconnecting customer locations where a drop already exists,disconnecting customer locations and repairing or maintaining drops, are expensed as incurred.The nature and amount of labor and other costs to be capitalized with respect to construction and installation activities involves significant judgment. Inaddition to direct external and internal labor and materials, we also capitalize other costs directly attributable to our construction and installation activities,including dispatch costs, quality-control costs, vehicle-related costs and certain warehouse-related costs. The capitalization of these costs is based on timesheets, time studies, standard costs, call tracking systems and other verifiable means that directly link the costs incurred with the applicable capitalizableactivity. We continuously monitor the appropriateness of our capitalization policies and update the policies when necessary to respond to changes in factsand circumstances, such as the development of new products and services and changes in the manner that installations or construction activities areperformed.Fair Value Measurements in Acquisition AccountingThe application of acquisition accounting requires that we make fair value determinations as of the applicable valuation date. In making thesedeterminations, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts, including, but not limited to, expected future cash flows,market comparables and discount rates, remaining useful lives of long-lived assets, replacement or reproduction costs of property and equipment and theamounts to be recovered in future periods from acquired net operating losses and other deferred tax assets. To assist us in making these fair valuedeterminations, we may engage third-party valuation specialists. Our estimates in this area impact, among other items, the amount of depreciation andamortization and income tax expense or benefit that we report. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but whichare inherently uncertain. A significant portion of our long-lived assets were initially recorded through the application of acquisition accounting. Foradditional information, including the specific weighted average discount rates we used to complete certain nonrecurring valuations, see note 6 to ourconsolidated financial statements. For information regarding our acquisitions and long-lived assets, see notes 4 and 8 to our consolidated financialstatements.Income Tax AccountingWe are required to estimate the amount of tax payable or refundable for the current year and the deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future taxconsequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the expectedbenefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for theyear in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. This process requires our management to make assessments regarding thetiming and probability of the ultimate tax impact of such items.Net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if we believe it is more-likely-than-not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized.Establishing or reducing a tax valuation allowance requires us to make assessments about the timing of future events, including the probability of expectedfuture taxable income and available tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2017, the aggregate valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assetswas $1,282 million. The actual amount of deferred income tax benefits realized in future periods will likely differ from the net deferred tax assets reflected inour December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet due to, among other factors, possible future changes in income tax law or interpretations thereof in thejurisdictions in which we operate and differences between estimated and actual future taxable income. Any such factors could have a material effect on ourcurrent and deferred tax positions. A high degree of judgment is required to assess the impact of possible future outcomes on our current and deferred taxpositions.II-36 Tax laws in jurisdictions in which we have a presence are subject to varied interpretation, and tax positions we may take could be subject to significantuncertainty regarding whether the position will be ultimately sustained after review by the relevant tax authority. We recognize the financial statementeffects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The determinationof whether the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not threshold requires a facts-based judgment using all information available. In a number of cases, wehave concluded that the more-likely-than-not threshold is not met and, accordingly, the amount of tax benefit recognized in our consolidated financialstatements is different than the amount taken or expected to be taken in our tax returns. As of December 31, 2017, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits forfinancial reporting purposes, but taken or expected to be taken in our tax returns, was $305 million, of which $302 million would have a favorable impact onour effective income tax rate if ultimately recognized, after considering amounts that we would expect to be offset by valuation allowances.We are required to continually assess our tax positions, and the results of tax examinations or changes in judgment can result in substantial changes toour unrecognized tax benefits.For additional information concerning our income taxes, see note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.II-37 Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKWe are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our investments in various countries and ongoing investing andfinancing activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices. Therisk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. As further described below, we haveestablished policies, procedures and processes governing our management of market risks and the use of derivative instruments to manage our exposure tosuch risks.Cash and InvestmentsWe invest our cash in highly liquid instruments that meet high credit quality standards. We are exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that thedenominations of our cash and cash equivalent balances, revolving lines of credit and other short-term sources of liquidity do not correspond to thedenominations of Liberty Latin America’s short-term liquidity requirements. In order to mitigate this risk, we actively manage the denominations of our cashbalances in consideration of Liberty Latin America’s forecasted liquidity requirements. At December 31, 2017, a significant proportion of our cash balancewas denominated in U.S. dollars or denominated in a currency that is indexed to the U.S. dollar.Foreign Currency RiskWe are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to our debt in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than thefunctional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to repay or refinance such debt. Although we generally seek to match thedenomination of our borrowings with the functional currency of the operations that are supporting the respective borrowings, market conditions or otherfactors may cause us to enter into borrowing arrangements that are not denominated in the functional currency of the underlying operations (unmatcheddebt). In these cases, our policy is to provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements, wherever possible and when costeffective to do so, by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. For additionalinformation concerning the terms of our derivative instruments, see note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.In addition to the exposure that results from unmatched debt, we are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we enter into transactionsdenominated in currencies other than our operating subsidiaries’ respective functional currencies (non-functional currency risk), such as equipment purchasesand programming contracts. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheet related to these items will resultin unrealized (based upon period-end exchange rates) or realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses upon settlement of the transactions. Moreover,to the extent that our revenue, costs and expenses are denominated in currencies other than our respective functional currencies, we will experiencefluctuations in our revenue, costs and expenses solely as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Generally, we will consider hedging non-functional currency risks when the risks arise from agreements with third parties that involve the future payment or receipt of cash or other monetary items tothe extent that we can reasonably predict the timing and amount of such payments or receipts and the payments or receipts are not otherwise hedged. In thisregard, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain of these risks. Certain non-functional currency risks related to our direct costsof services and other operating and SG&A expenses and property and equipment additions were not hedged as of December 31, 2017. For additionalinformation concerning our foreign currency forward contracts, see note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.We also are exposed to unfavorable and potentially volatile fluctuations of the U.S. dollar (our reporting currency) against the currencies of ouroperating subsidiaries when their respective financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss as a separate component of equity. Any increase(decrease) in the value of the U.S. dollar against any foreign currency that is the functional currency of one of our operating subsidiaries will cause us toexperience unrealized foreign currency translation losses (gains) with respect to amounts already invested in such foreign currencies. Accordingly, we mayexperience a negative impact on our comprehensive earnings or loss and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of FX. Our primary exposure toFX risk during the year ended December 31, 2017 was to the Chilean peso as 26.5% of our reported revenue during the period was derived from VTR, whosefunctional currency is the Chilean peso. In addition, our reported operating results are impacted by changes in the exchange rates for other local currencies inLatin America and the Caribbean. We generally do not hedge against the risk that we may incur non-cash losses upon the translation of the financialstatements of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates into U.S. dollars.II-38 The relationship between (i) the British pound sterling, the Chilean peso and the Jamaican dollar and (ii) the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency,is shown below, per one U.S. dollar: As of December 31, 2017 2016Spot rates: British pound sterling0.7394 0.8100Chilean peso615.40 670.23Jamaican dollar124.58 128.77 Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015Average rates: British pound sterling0.7767 0.7407 0.6545Chilean peso648.80 676.21 654.71Jamaican dollar128.15 125.13 116.52Inflation and Foreign Investment RiskWe are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to labor, programming and other costs. While we attempt to increase our revenue to offset increasesin costs, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Therefore, costs could rise faster than associated revenue, thereby resulting in a negative impacton our operating results, cash flows and liquidity. The economic environment in the respective countries in which we operate is a function of government,economic, fiscal and monetary policies and various other factors beyond our control that could lead to inflation. We are unable to predict, with anymeaningful long term degree of certainty, the extent that price levels might be impacted in future periods by the current state of the economies in thecountries in which we operate.Interest Rate RisksWe are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings by ourborrowing groups. Our primary exposure to variable-rate debt is through the LIBOR-indexed debt of C&W and Liberty Puerto Rico. Regulators in the U.K.have announced that LIBOR will be phased out by the end of 2021. Our loan documents contain customary provisions that contemplate alternativecalculations of the applicable base rate once LIBOR is no longer available. We do not expect that these alternative calculations will be materially differentfrom what would have been calculated under LIBOR.In general, we seek to enter into derivative instruments to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Accordingly, we haveentered into various derivative transactions to reduce exposure to increases in interest rates. We use interest rate derivative contracts to exchange, at specifiedintervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest rates calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. We also use interestrate cap agreements that lock in a maximum interest rate if variable rates rise, but also allow our company to benefit from declines in market rates. AtDecember 31, 2017, we effectively paid a fixed interest rate on 95% of our total debt. The final maturity dates of our various portfolios of interest ratederivative instruments generally fall short of the respective maturities of the underlying variable-rate debt. In this regard, we use judgment to determine theappropriate maturity dates of our portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments, taking into account the relative costs and benefits of different maturityprofiles in light of current and expected future market conditions, liquidity issues and other factors. For additional information concerning the impacts ofthese interest rate derivative instruments, see note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.Weighted Average Variable Interest Rate. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding principal amount of our variable-rate indebtedness aggregated $3.3billion, and the weighted average interest rate (including margin) on such variable-rate indebtedness was approximately 4.90%, excluding the effects ofinterest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost ofborrowing. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, and without giving effect to any interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs,original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, a hypothetical 50 basis point (0.50%) increase (decrease) in our weighted average variableinterest rate would increase (decrease) our annual interest expense and cash outflows by $17 million. As discussed above and in note 5 to our consolidatedfinancial statements, we use interest rate derivative contracts to manage our exposure to increases in variable interest rates. In this regard, increases in the fairvalue of these contracts generally would be expected to offset most ofII-39 the economic impact of increases in the variable interest rates applicable to our indebtedness to the extent and during the period that principal amounts arematched with interest rate derivative contracts.Counterparty Credit RiskWe are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments, undrawn debt facilities and cash investments of our borrowing groupswill default on their obligations to us. We manage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration ofrisk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with our derivative instruments and undrawn debt facilities is spread across arelatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions. We have not posted collateral under the derivative instruments of our borrowinggroups. Most of our cash at Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries currently is invested in either (i) AAA rated money market funds, includingfunds that invest in government obligations or repurchase agreements serviced by such obligations, or (ii) overnight deposits with banks having a minimumcredit rating of A- by Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent rating by Moody’s Investor Service. Where local financial sector constraints restrict our ability tomeet the above criteria for our cash holdings, cash may be deposited with one of the three highest rated financial institutions locally for operational purposesuntil such time as the above investments are made. To date, neither the access to nor the value of our cash and cash equivalent balances have been adverselyimpacted by liquidity problems of financial institutions.At December 31, 2017, our exposure to counterparty credit risk included (i) derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $17 million, (ii) cash andcash equivalent and restricted cash balances of $568 million and (iii) aggregate undrawn debt facilities of $938 million.Each of our borrowing groups has entered into derivative instruments under agreements with each counterparty that contain master netting arrangementsthat are applicable in the event of early termination by either party to such derivative instrument. The master netting arrangements under each of these masteragreements are limited to the derivative instruments governed by the relevant master agreement within each individual borrowing group and are independentof similar arrangements of our other subsidiary borrowing groups.While we currently have no specific concerns about the creditworthiness of any counterparty for which we have material credit risk exposures, the currenteconomic conditions and uncertainties in global financial markets have increased the credit risk of our counterparties and we cannot rule out the possibilitythat one or more of our counterparties could fail or otherwise be unable to meet its obligations to us. Any such instance could have an adverse effect on ourcash flows, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.Although we actively monitor the creditworthiness of our key vendors, the financial failure of a key vendor could disrupt our operations and have anadverse impact on our revenue and cash flows.Sensitivity InformationInformation concerning the sensitivity of the fair value of certain of our more significant derivative instruments to changes in market conditions is setforth below.

Although LibertyLatin America was previously reported on a combined basis, these financial statements present all prior periods as consolidated. In these notes, the terms“we,” “our,” “our company” and “us” may refer, as the context requires, to Liberty Latin America Ltd. or collectively to Liberty Latin America Ltd. and itssubsidiaries.

Accordingly, Liberty Global issued 12,625,362 Class A, 523,626 Class B and 30,776,883 Class C LiLAC Shares upon thecompletion of the LiLAC Transaction. The LiLAC Shares were tracking shares, which were intended to reflect or “track” the economic performance of LibertyGlobal’s “LiLAC Group” rather than the economic performance of Liberty Global as a whole. The LiLAC Group comprised the same entities as Liberty LatinAmerica. As further described above, in connection with the Split-Off, the LiLAC Shares were effectively replaced by corresponding classes of Liberty LatinAmerica common shares.LiLAC DistributionOn July 1, 2016, a total of 117,430,965 Class A and Class C LiLAC Shares were issued to holders of Class A and Class C Liberty Global Shares inrecognition of the Liberty Global Shares that were issued to acquire C&W (the LiLAC Distribution). For additional information regarding the acquisition ofC&W, see note 4.Split-off of Liberty Latin America from Liberty GlobalOn December 29, 2017 (the Split-Off Distribution Date), Liberty Global completed its previously announced split-off (the Split-Off) of its formerwholly-owned subsidiary Liberty Latin America.The Split-Off was accomplished by (i) the distribution by Liberty Global to holders of its LiLAC Shares ofall of the Company’s common shares and (ii) immediately following the distribution, the LiLAC Shares were redesignated as deferred shares (with virtuallyno economic rights) and those deferred shares were transferred for no consideration to a third-party designee, in each case, in accordance with LibertyGlobal’s articles of association and applicable law. Pursuant to the Split-Off, Liberty Global distributed to holders of its LiLAC Shares, as a dividend,II-54 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015(i) one Class A common share of the Company for each Class A LiLAC ordinary share, (ii) one Class B common share of the Company for each Class BLiLAC ordinary share and (iii) one Class C common share of the Company for each Class C LiLAC ordinary share, in each case, held by such holder as of theSplit-Off Distribution Date. In the Split-Off, 48,428,841 Class A common shares, 1,940,193 Class B common shares and 120,843,539 Class C common sharesof Liberty Latin America were issued (collectively Liberty Latin America Shares). As a result of the Split-Off, Liberty Latin America is an independent,publicly traded company, and its assets and liabilities consist of the businesses, assets and liabilities that were formerly attributed to Liberty Global’s LiLACGroup (as defined below). The Split-Off was accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata distribution of Liberty Latin America Shares to holders ofLiberty Global’s LiLAC Shares.Several agreements were entered into in connection with the Split-Off (the Split-Off Agreements) between Liberty Latin America, Liberty Global and/orcertain of their respective subsidiaries, including the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Reorganization Agreement, the Services Agreement, the SubleaseAgreement and the Facilities Sharing Agreement, each as defined and described in note 12.(2)Accounting Change and Recent Accounting PronouncementsAccounting ChangeIn January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test forGoodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04), which eliminates the requirement to estimate the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill as determinedfollowing the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, acompany should recognize any goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. We early-adopted ASU 2017-04effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 reduces the complexity surrounding the measurement of goodwill impairments.Recent Accounting PronouncementsASU 2014-09In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which requires an entity to recognize theamount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU No. 2015-14, will replace existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15,2017. This new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1,2018 using the cumulative effect transition method. The following revenue recognition policies were impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 (i) time-limited discounts and free service periods provided to our customers, (ii) certain upfront fees charged to our customers, (iii) subsidized handset plans and (iv)long-term capacity contracts. The impacts are discussed below:•When we enter into contracts to provide services to our customers, we often provide time-limited discounts or free service periods. Under currentaccounting standards, we recognize revenue net of discounts during the promotional periods and do not recognize any revenue during free serviceperiods. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue recognition for those contracts that contain substantive termination penalties will be accelerated, as theimpact of the discounts or free service periods will be recognized uniformly over the contractual period. For contracts that do not have substantivetermination penalties, we will continue to record the impacts of partial or full discounts during the applicable promotional periods.•When we enter into contracts to provide services to our customers, we often charge installation or other upfront fees. Under current accountingstandards, installation fees related to services provided over our cable networks are recognized as revenue during the period in which the installationoccurs to the extent these fees are equal to or less than direct selling costs. Under ASU 2014-09, these fees will generally be deferred and recognizedas revenue over the contractual period for those contracts with substantial termination penalties, or for a period of time the upfront fees convey amaterial right for month-to-month contracts and contracts that do not include substantive termination penalties.•ASU 2014-09 will require the identification of deliverables in contracts with customers that qualify as performance obligations. The transactionprice receivable from customers will be allocated between our performance obligations under contracts on a relative standalone selling price basis.Under current accounting standards, when we offer handsets under a subsidized contract model, upfront revenue recognition is limited to the upfrontcash collected from the customer asII-55 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015the remaining monthly fees to be received from the customer, including fees associated with the handset, are contingent upon delivering futureairtime. This limitation will no longer be applied under ASU 2014-09. The primary impact on revenue reporting will be that when we sell subsidizedhandsets together with airtime services to customers, revenue allocated to handsets and recognized when control of the device passes to the customerwill increase and revenue recognized as services are delivered will decrease.•We enter into certain long-term capacity contracts with customers where the customer pays the transaction consideration at inception of the contract.Under current accounting standards, we do not impute interest for advance payments from customers related to services that are provided over time.Under ASU 2014-09, payment received from a customer significantly in advance of the provision of services is indicative of a financing componentwithin the contract. If the financing component is significant, interest expense will accrete over the life of the contract with a corresponding increaseto revenue.ASU 2014-09 will also impact our accounting for certain upfront costs directly associated with obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts. Under ourcurrent policy, these costs are expensed as incurred unless the costs are in the scope of other accounting standards that allows for capitalization. Under ASU2014-09, the upfront costs associated with contracts that have substantive termination penalties and a term of one year or more will be recognized as assetsand amortized to other operating expenses over the applicable period benefited. The cumulative effect recorded upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our financial position. Theultimate impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 for both revenue recognition and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts depends on numerous factors, including (i)the promotions and offers that were in place at December 31, 2017 and during subsequent periods after the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and (ii) our assessmentof whether or not our contracts are enforceable or contain substantive termination penalties. Based upon our current product offerings, and our assessmentthat in many instances our contracts are not enforceable or do not contain substantive termination penalties, we do not expect the ongoing impact followingthe adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact to our consolidated statement of operations or balance sheets. In addition, we were not required tomake material changes to our internal control environment as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09.ASU 2016-02In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02), which, for most leases, will result in lessees recognizing lease assets andlease liabilities on the balance sheet with additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees and lessors to recognize andmeasure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach and additionalguidance provided by ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842)—Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, includes a number of optionalpractical expedients an entity may elect to apply. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, includinginterim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. Although we are currentlyevaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, the main impact of the adoption of this standard will be therecognition of lease assets and lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP.ASU 2016-02 will not have significant impacts on our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.ASU 2017-07In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of the Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic PostretirementBenefit Cost (ASU 2017-07), which includes changes to the presentation of periodic benefit cost components. Under ASU 2017-07, we will continue topresent the service component of our net benefit cost as a component of operating income (loss) but present the other components of our net benefit costcomputation, which can include credits, within non-operating income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2017-07 is effective forannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on January 1,2018. The change in presentation to our consolidated statements of operations from ASU 2017-07 will be applied on a retrospective basis. The amount thatwill be reclassified to non-operating income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 is $14.5million for the year ended December 31, 2017.II-56 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015(3)Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesEstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts 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, allowances foruncollectible accounts, programming and copyright expenses, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair valuemeasurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, useful lives of long-livedassets and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.ReclassificationsCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of all voting interest entities where we exercise acontrolling financial interest through the ownership of a direct or indirect controlling voting interest and variable interest entities for which our company isthe primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash equivalents consist of money market funds and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or lessat the time of acquisition. We record money market funds at the net asset value as there are no restrictions on our ability, contractual or otherwise, to redeemour investments.Restricted cash consists of cash held in restricted accounts, including cash held as collateral for debt and other compensating balances. Cash that isrestricted to a specific use is classified as current or long-term based on the expected timing of the disbursement. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, our currentand long-term restricted cash balances aggregated $38.3 million and $28.2 million, respectively.Trade ReceivablesOur trade receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such allowance aggregated $142.2 million and $116.1 million atDecember 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon our assessment of probable loss related to uncollectibleaccounts receivable. We use a number of factors in determining the allowance, including, among other things, collection trends, prevailing and anticipatedeconomic conditions and specific customer credit risk. The allowance is maintained until either payment is received or the likelihood of collection isconsidered to be remote.Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many differentcountries, with the exception of $53.6 million and $58.1 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, due from a single government.InvestmentsWe account for our investment in Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (TSTT) using the cost method. We continually performreviews to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis of our investment in TSTT is other-than-temporary. The primary factors we considerin our determination are the extent and length of time that the fair value of the investment is below our company’s carrying value and the financial condition,operating performance and near-term prospects of the investee, changes in the valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date, and the impacts of exchangerates, if applicable. If a decline in fair value of this investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis is written down to fair value through ourstatement of operations.II-57 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015We account for our investment in United Kingdom (U.K.) Government Gilts using the available-for-sale method. Available-for-sale securities aremeasured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in other comprehensive income or loss until sold or other-than-temporarily impaired, at which time the amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss into non-operating income orexpense in our consolidated statements of operations.For additional information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 6. For additional information regarding these investments, see notes 7 and 14.Financial InstrumentsDue to the short maturities of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term liquid investments, trade and other receivables, other current assets,accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other accrued and current liabilities, their respective carrying values approximate their respective fair values. Forinformation concerning the fair values of our derivative and debt instruments, see notes 5 and 9, respectively. For information regarding how we arrive atcertain of our fair value measurements, see note 6.Derivative InstrumentsAll derivative instruments, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivativeinstrument is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. If the derivative instrument isdesignated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in other comprehensive earningsor loss and subsequently reclassified into our consolidated statements of operations when the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveportions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. With the exception of a limited number of our foreign currency forwardcontracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments.The net cash received or paid related to our derivative instruments is classified as an operating, investing or financing activity in our consolidatedstatements of cash flows based on the objective of the derivative instrument and the classification of the applicable underlying cash flows. For foreigncurrency forward contracts that are used to hedge capital expenditures, the net cash received or paid is classified as an adjustment to capital expenditures inour consolidated statements of cash flows. For derivative contracts that are terminated prior to maturity, the cash paid or received upon termination thatrelates to future periods is classified as a financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows.For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 5.Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize costs associated with the construction of new cable and mobiletransmission and distribution facilities and the installation of new cable services. Capitalized construction and installation costs include materials, labor andother directly attributable costs. Installation activities that are capitalized include (i) the initial connection (or drop) from our cable system to a customerlocation, (ii) the replacement of a drop and (iii) the installation of equipment for additional services, such as digital cable, telephone or broadband internetservice. The costs of other customer-facing activities, such as reconnecting customer locations where a drop already exists, disconnecting customer locationsand repairing or maintaining drops, are expensed as incurred. Interest capitalized with respect to construction activities was not material during any of theperiods presented.Capitalized internal-use software is included as a component of property and equipment. We capitalize internal and external costs directly associatedwith the development of internal-use software. We also capitalize costs associated with the purchase of software licenses. Maintenance and training costs, aswell as costs incurred during the preliminary stage of an internal-use software development project, are expensed as incurred.Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. Equipment under capital leases isamortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset and is included in depreciation and amortization in ourconsolidated statements of operations. Useful lives used to depreciate our property and equipment are assessed periodically and are adjusted when warranted.The useful lives of cable and mobile distribution systems that are undergoing a rebuild are adjusted such that property and equipment to be retired will befully depreciated by the time the rebuild is completed. For additional information regarding the useful lives of our property and equipment, see note 8.II-58 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Additions, replacements and improvements that extend the asset life are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.We recognize a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is incurred if sufficient information is available to make a reasonableestimate of fair values. Asset retirement obligations primarily relate to assets placed on leased wireless towers and other premises. Asset retirement obligationsof $36.1 million and $35.2 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balancesheets.Intangible AssetsOur primary intangible assets relate to goodwill, customer relationships and cable television franchise rights. Goodwill represents the excess purchaseprice over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Customer relationships and cable television franchise rights areinitially recorded at their fair values in connection with business combinations.Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangibleassets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed forimpairment.We do not amortize our cable television franchise rights and certain other intangible assets as these assets have indefinite lives. For additionalinformation regarding the useful lives of our intangible assets, see note 8.Impairment of Property and Equipment and Intangible AssetsWhen circumstances warrant, we review the carrying amounts of our property and equipment and our intangible assets (other than goodwill and otherindefinite-lived intangible assets) to determine whether such carrying amounts continue to be recoverable. Such changes in circumstance may include (i) theimpact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, (ii) an expectation of a sale or disposal of a long-lived asset or asset group, (iii) adverse changes in market orcompetitive conditions, (iv) an adverse change in legal factors or business climate in the markets in which we operate and (v) operating or cash flow losses.For purposes of impairment testing, long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows are largely independent of other assets andliabilities, generally at or below the reporting unit level (see below). If the carrying amount of the asset or asset group is greater than the expectedundiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset or asset group, an impairment adjustment is recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amountthat the carrying value of such asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. We generally measure fair value by considering (i) sale prices for similar assets,(ii) discounted estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate and/or (iii) estimated replacement cost. Assets to be disposed of are recorded atthe lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.We evaluate goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily cable television franchise rights) for impairment at least annually onOctober 1 and whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For impairment evaluations with respect toboth goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if the goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangiblemay be impaired. In the case of goodwill, if it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fairvalue of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to asa “component”). Goodwill impairment is recorded as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value and is charged to operations. Withrespect to other indefinite-lived intangible assets, if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carryingvalue, we then estimate its fair value and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is also charged to operations as an impairment loss. Foradditional information regarding the fair values of our property and equipment and intangible assets, see note 6. For additional information regardingimpairments recorded during 2017, see note 8.II-59 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Income TaxesThe income taxes of Liberty Latin America are presented on a standalone basis, and each tax paying entity or group within Liberty Latin America ispresented on a separate return basis. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities forthe future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and theexpected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operatefor the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position whenit is more-likely-than-not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by avaluation allowance if we believe it is more-likely-than-not that such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Certain of our valuation allowances and taxuncertainties are associated with entities that we acquired in business combinations. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates isrecognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax liabilities related to investments in foreign entities and foreign corporatejoint ventures that are essentially permanent in duration are not recognized until it becomes apparent that such amounts will reverse in the foreseeable future.In order to be considered essentially permanent in duration, sufficient evidence must indicate that the foreign entity has invested or will invest itsundistributed earnings indefinitely, or that earnings will be remitted in a tax-free liquidation. Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities areincluded in income tax benefit or expense in our consolidated statements of operations.For additional information regarding our income taxes, see note 10.Foreign Currency Translation and TransactionsThe reporting currency of Liberty Latin America is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency foreach foreign entity. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries (including intercompany balances for which settlement is not anticipated in theforeseeable future) are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. With the exception of certain material transactions, the amountsreported in our consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resultingunrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings orloss in our consolidated statements of equity. With the exception of certain material transactions, the cash flows from our operations in foreign countries aretranslated at the average rate for the applicable period in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The impacts of material transactions generally arerecorded at the applicable spot rates in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The effect of exchange rates on cash balances held inforeign currencies are separately reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows.Transactions denominated in currencies other than our or our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are recorded based on exchange rates at the time suchtransactions arise. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets related to these non-functional currencytransactions result in transaction gains and losses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (based on the applicable periodend exchange rates) or realized upon settlement of the transactions.Revenue RecognitionService Revenue – Fixed Networks. We recognize revenue from video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services over our fixed networks tocustomers in the period the related services are provided. Installation revenue (including reconnect fees) related to services provided over our fixed networksis recognized as revenue in the period during which the installation occurs to the extent these fees are equal to or less than direct selling costs, which costs areexpensed as incurred. To the extent installation revenue exceeds direct selling costs, the excess revenue is deferred and amortized over the expected life ofthe subscriber relationship.Sale of Multiple Products and Services. We sell video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile services to our customers in bundledpackages at a rate lower than if the customer purchased each product on a standalone basis. Revenue from bundled packages generally is allocatedproportionally to the individual services based on the relative standalone price for each respective service.Mobile Revenue – General. Consideration from mobile contracts is allocated to the airtime service element and the handset service element based on therelative standalone prices of each element. The amount of consideration allocated to the handset isII-60 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of future airtime services. Certain of our operations that provide mobile services offer handsetsunder a subsidized contract model, whereby upfront revenue recognition is limited to the upfront cash collected from the customer as the remaining monthlyfees to be received from the customer, including fees that may be associated with the handset, are contingent upon delivering future airtime services.Mobile Revenue – Airtime Services. We recognize revenue from mobile services in the period the related services are provided. Payments received frompre-pay customers are recorded as deferred revenue prior to the commencement of services and are recognized as revenue as the services are rendered or usagerights expire.Mobile Revenue – Handset Revenue. Arrangement consideration allocated to handsets is recognized as revenue when the goods have been delivered andtitle has passed.B2B Revenue. We defer upfront installation and certain nonrecurring fees received on B2B contracts where we maintain ownership of the installedequipment. The deferred fees are amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance.Promotional Discounts. For subscriber promotions, such as discounted or free services during an introductory period, revenue is recognized only to theextent of the discounted monthly fees charged to the subscriber, if any.Subscriber Advance Payments and Deposits. Payments received in advance for the services we provide are deferred and recognized as revenue when theassociated services are provided.Sales, Use and Other Value-Added Taxes (VAT). Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use and other value-added taxes.Share-based CompensationAs more fully described in note 15, Liberty Global previously granted share-based incentive awards to its employees and employees of its subsidiaries.Share-based incentive awards granted included, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) and stock appreciation rights(SARs) to purchase Liberty Global Shares or LiLAC Shares . Upon the consummation of the Split-Off, outstanding awards with respect to LiLAC Sharespreviously granted by Liberty Global were cancelled and reissued with respect to Liberty Latin America Shares pursuant to the Transition Plan, as definedand described in note 15. In addition, our employees hold share-based incentive awards that were granted under VTR’s and Liberty Puerto Rico’s share-basedincentive plan (the VTR Plan and the Liberty Puerto Rico Plan, respectively). Following the Split-Off, share-based incentive awards will be granted underthe (i) Employee Incentive Plan and Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan, each as defined and described in note 15, (ii) VTR Plan and (iii) Liberty PuertoRico Plan. As of December 31, 2017, no share-based incentive awards have been granted under the Employee Incentive Plan or the Nonemployee DirectorIncentive Plan.We recognize compensation expense associated with share-based incentive awards based on their grant-date fair values and our estimates of forfeitures.We recognize the grant-date fair value of outstanding awards as a charge to operations over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.Payroll taxes incurred in connection with the vesting or exercise of our share-based incentive awards are recorded as a component of share-basedcompensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations.We use the liability method to account for share-based incentive awards issued under the VTR Plan and the Liberty Puerto Rico Plan. The liabilitymethod computes the compensation charges based on the vested remeasured fair value of the awards at each reporting date through the date that the awardsare exercised or expire.We use the straight-line method to recognize share-based compensation expense for share-based incentive awards that do not contain a performancecondition and the accelerated expense attribution method for our share-based incentive awards that contain a performance condition and vest on a gradedbasis.For additional information regarding our share-based compensation, see note 15.II-61 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Earnings (Loss) per ShareBasic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders by the weightedaverage number of LiLAC Shares and Liberty Latin America Shares outstanding during the years presented, as further described below. Diluted earnings(loss) per share presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares (e.g., SARs and RSUs) as if they had been exercised or vested at thebeginning of the periods presented. Year ended December 31, 2017 (b) 2016 (c) 2015 (d) Weighted average shares outstanding - basic and dilutive (a)171,850,041 125,627,811 43,920,678(a)Amounts were used for both basic and dilutive EPS as no Company equity awards were outstanding prior to the Split-Off.(b)The 2017 amount represents (i) the weighted average number of LiLAC Shares outstanding during the year prior to the Split-Off and (ii) the weightedaverage number of Liberty Latin America Shares outstanding during the year subsequent to the Split-Off.(c)The 2016 amount represents the actual weighted average number of LiLAC Shares outstanding, as adjusted to reflect the total 117,430,965 Class A andClass C LiLAC Shares issued to holders of Class A and Class C Liberty Global Shares pursuant to the LiLAC Distribution, as if such distribution wascompleted on the May 16, 2016 date of the acquisition of C&W.(d)The 2015 amount represents the actual weighted average number of LiLAC Shares outstanding for the period from July 1, 2015 through December 31,2015, as adjusted to reflect the LiLAC Transaction as if it such transaction was completed on January 1, 2015.We reported a loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2017. Therefore, the potentially dilutive effectat December 31, 2017 of the following items was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation or, in the case of certain PSUs because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria: (i) the aggregate numberof shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs and RSUs of approximately 8.9 million and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant tooutstanding PSUs of approximately 1.2 million.Litigation CostsLegal fees and related litigation costs are expensed as incurred.(4)Acquisitions2017 AcquisitionCarve-out Entities. In connection with the C&W Acquisition in 2016, as defined and described below, and C&W’s acquisition of ColumbusInternational Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Columbus) in 2015 (the Columbus Acquisition), certain entities (the Carve-out Entities) that holdlicenses granted by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (the FCC) were transferred to entities not controlled by C&W (collectively, NewCayman).The arrangements with respect to the Carve-out Entities, which were executed in connection with the Columbus Acquisition and the C&WAcquisition, contemplated that upon receipt of regulatory approval, we would acquire the Carve-out Entities. On March 8, 2017, the FCC granted itsapproval for our acquisition of the Carve-out Entities. Accordingly, on April 1, 2017, subsidiaries of C&W acquired the Carve-out Entities (the C&W Carve-out Acquisition) for an aggregate purchase price of $86.2 million, which represents the amount due under notes receivable that were exchanged for the equityof the Carve-out Entities.2016 AcquisitionC&W. On May 16, 2016, Liberty Global acquired C&W for shares of Liberty Global and C&W was contributed to our company as part of the Split-Off(the C&W Acquisition). Further, immediately prior to the acquisition, C&W declared a special cash dividend (the Special Dividend) to its shareholders in theamount of £0.03 ($0.04 at the transaction date) per C&W share, whichII-62 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015was paid to C&W shareholders promptly following the closing of the transaction. The Special Dividend and the payment of fees and expenses related to theacquisition were funded with C&W liquidity, including incremental debt borrowings, and Liberty Latin America corporate liquidity. The C&W Acquisitionwas completed in order to achieve certain financial, operational and strategic benefits through the integration of C&W with our existing operations.The C&W Acquisition triggered regulatory approval requirements in certain jurisdictions in which C&W operates. The regulatory authorities in certainof these jurisdictions, including the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago and the Seychelles, have not completed their review of the C&W Acquisition or grantedtheir approval. While we expect to receive all outstanding approvals, such approvals may include binding conditions or requirements that could have anadverse impact on our operations and financial condition.For accounting purposes, the C&W Acquisition was treated as the acquisition of C&W by Liberty Latin America. In this regard, the equity and cashconsideration paid to acquire C&W are set forth below (in millions):Class A Liberty Global Shares (a)$1,167.2Class C Liberty Global Shares (a)2,803.5Class A LiLAC Shares (a)144.1Class C LiLAC Shares (a)375.3Special Dividend (b)193.8Total$4,683.9(a)Represents the fair value of the 31,607,008 Class A Liberty Global Shares, 77,379,774 Class C Liberty Global Shares, 3,648,513 Class A LiLAC Sharesand 8,939,316 Class C LiLAC Shares issued to C&W shareholders in connection with the C&W Acquisition. These amounts are based on the marketprice per share at closing on May 16, 2016 of $36.93, $36.23, $39.50 and $41.98, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the Liberty Global Sharesissued to acquire C&W has been reflected as an increase to accumulated net contributions (distributions) in our consolidated statement of equity. OnJuly 1, 2016, a total of 117,430,965 Class A and Class C LiLAC Shares were issued to holders of Class A and Class C Liberty Global Shares inrecognition of the Liberty Global Shares that were issued to acquire C&W.(b)Represents the Special Dividend of £0.03 ($0.04 at the transaction date) per C&W share paid pursuant to the scheme arrangement based on4,433,222,313 outstanding shares of C&W on May 16, 2016.II-63 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015We have accounted for the C&W Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquiredidentifiable net assets of C&W based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of theseidentifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill.

These pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if these transactions hadoccurred on such date. The pro forma adjustments are based on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. No effect has been given to the C&WCarve-out Acquisition as the assumed completion of this acquisition on January 1, 2016 would not have had a significant impact on our results of operationsfor the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Our consolidated statement of operations for 2015 includes revenue and net earnings of $52.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, attributable toChoice.(5)Derivative InstrumentsIn general, we seek to enter into derivative instruments to protect against (i) increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt and (ii) foreigncurrency movements, particularly with respect to borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the borrowing entity. Inthis regard, through our subsidiaries, we have entered into various derivative instruments to manage interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure withrespect to the U.S. dollar ($), the British pound sterling (£), the Chilean peso (CLP), the Jamaican dollar (JMD) and the Colombian peso (COP). With theexception of certain foreign currency forward contracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments. Accordingly, changes in the fairvalues of most of our derivative instruments are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net, in our consolidatedstatements of operations.The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Current (a) Long-term (a) Total Current (a) Long-term (a) Total in millionsAssets: Cross-currency and interest ratederivative contracts (b)$2.9 $38.4 $41.3 $6.9 $139.0 $145.9Foreign currency forward contracts— — — 0.3 — 0.3Total$2.9 $38.4 $41.3 $7.2 $139.0 $146.2 Liabilities: Cross-currency and interest ratederivative contracts (b)$29.4 $51.9 $81.3 $24.6 $28.9 $53.5Foreign currency forward contracts12.8 — 12.8 4.2 — 4.2Total$42.2 $51.9 $94.1 $28.8 $28.9 $57.7(a)Our current derivative assets, current derivative liabilities and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, other accrued andcurrent liabilities, and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets.(b)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 (as defined and described in note8). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains(losses) of $23.1 million, $11.7 million and ($1.0 million) during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are included in realized andunrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair valuemeasurements, see note 6.The details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 in millions Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts$(157.8) $(216.8) $217.0Foreign currency forward contracts(12.3) (9.1) 10.3Total$(170.1) $(225.9) $227.3II-66 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015The following table sets forth the classification of the net cash inflows (outflows) of our derivative instruments: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 in millions Operating activities$(26.9) $(6.1) $(28.8)Investing activities(3.7) (3.4) 2.2Total$(30.6) $(9.5) $(26.6)Counterparty Credit RiskWe are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups will default on their obligations to us. Wemanage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. Inthis 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 December 31, 2017, our exposure to counterpartycredit risk included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $16.6 million.Each of our borrowing groups has entered into derivative instruments under agreements with each counterparty that contain master netting arrangementsthat are applicable in the event of early termination by either party to such derivative instrument. The master netting arrangements under each of these masteragreements are limited to the derivative instruments governed by the relevant master agreement within each individual borrowing group and are independentof similar arrangements of our other subsidiary borrowing groups.Details of our Derivative InstrumentsCross-currency Derivative ContractsAs noted above, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than thefunctional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to repay or refinance such debt. Although we generally seek to match thedenomination of our subsidiaries’ borrowings with the functional currency of the operations that are supporting the respective borrowings, market conditionsor 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 whencost effective to do so, by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. The following tablesets forth the total notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our cross-currency swap contracts at December 31, 2017:Borrowing group Notional amountdue fromcounterparty Notional amountdue tocounterparty Weighted averageremaining life in millions in years C&W$108.3 JMD13,817.5 5.0 $35.4 COP106,000.0 4.6 £146.7 $194.3 1.2 VTR Finance$1,400.0 CLP951,390.0 4.5II-67 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Interest Rate Derivative ContractsAs noted above, we enter into interest rate swaps to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Pursuant to these derivativeinstruments, 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 December 31,2017:Borrowing group Notional amount duefrom counterparty Weighted averageremaining life in millions in years C&W (a)$2,925.0 6.3 Liberty Puerto Rico$675.0 3.3(a)Includes forward-starting derivative instruments.Basis SwapsBasis swaps involve the exchange of attributes used to calculate our floating interest rates, including (i) the benchmark rate, (ii) the underlying currencyand/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, ourrisk management policies and other factors. At December 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the notional amounts of these derivative instruments was$1,825.0 million and the related weighted average remaining contractual life of our basis swap contracts was 0.9 years. Our basis swaps are all held by ourC&W borrowing group at December 31, 2017.Interest Rate CapsWe enter into interest rate cap agreements that lock in a maximum interest rate if variable rates rise, but also allow our company to benefit from declinesin market rates. At December 31, 2017, the total U.S. dollar notional amounts of our interest rate caps was $436.3 million, all of which are held by our LibertyPuerto Rico borrowing group.Impact of Derivative Instruments on Borrowing CostsThe impact of the derivative instruments, excluding forward-starting derivative instruments, on our borrowing costs at December 31, 2017 is as follows:Borrowing group Increase (decrease) toborrowing costs C&W0.47 %VTR Finance(0.52)%Liberty Puerto Rico0.69 %Liberty Latin America borrowing groups0.28 %Foreign Currency ForwardsCertain of our subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. As of December 31, 2017, thetotal U.S. dollar equivalent of the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts was $183.4 million.II-68 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015(6)Fair Value MeasurementsWe use the fair value method to account for our derivative instruments and the available-for-sale method to account for our investment in the U.K.Government Gilts. The reported fair values of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2017 likely will not represent the value that will be paid orreceived upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assets and liabilities, as we expect that the values realized generally will be based on marketconditions at the time of settlement, which may occur at the maturity of the derivative instrument or at the time of the repayment or refinancing of theunderlying 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. Level1 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. We record transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of thequarter during which the transfer occurred. During 2017, no such transfers were made.All of our Level 2 inputs (interest rate futures, swap rates and certain of the inputs for our weighted average cost of capital calculations) and certain of ourLevel 3 inputs (non-interest rate curves and credit spreads) are obtained from pricing services. These inputs, or interpolations or extrapolations thereof, areused in our internal models to calculate, among other items, yield curves, forward interest and currency rates and weighted average cost of capital rates. In thenormal course of business, we receive market value assessments from the counterparties to our derivative contracts. Although we compare these assessmentsto our internal valuations and investigate unexpected differences, we do not otherwise rely on counterparty quotes to determine the fair values of ourderivative instruments. The midpoints of applicable bid and ask ranges generally are used as inputs for our internal valuations.In order to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk, we have entered into various derivative instruments, as further described in note5. The recurring fair value measurements of these derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow models. Most of the inputs to thesediscounted cash flow models consist of, or are derived from, observable Level 2 data for substantially the full term of these derivative instruments. Thisobservable data mostly includes interest rate futures and swap rates, which are retrieved or derived from available market data. Although we may extrapolateor interpolate this data, we do not otherwise alter this data in performing our valuations. We incorporate a credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair valuemeasurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Effective January 1, 2017, weincorporated a Monte Carlo based approach into our calculation of the value assigned to the risk that we or our counterparties will default on our respectivederivative obligations. Previously, we used a static calculation derived from our most current mark-to-market valuation to calculate the impact ofcounterparty credit risk. The adoption of a Monte Carlo based approach did not have a material impact on the overall fair value of our derivative instruments.Our and our counterparties’ credit spreads represent our most significant Level 3 inputs, and these inputs are used to derive the credit risk valuationadjustments with respect to these instruments. As we would not expect changes in our or our counterparties’ credit spreads to have a significant impact on thevaluations of these instruments, we have determined that these valuations fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Due to the lack of Level 2 inputs forthe valuation of the U.S dollar to Jamaican dollar cross-currency swaps (the Sable Currency Swaps) held by Sable International Finance Limited (Sable), webelieve this valuation falls under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Sable Currency Swaps are our only Level 3 financial instruments. The fair value ofthe Sable Currency Swaps at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was a liability of $21.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of theSable Currency Swaps resulted in net losses of $11.2 million and $10.7 million during 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are reflected in realized andunrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to ourcross-currency and interest rate swaps are quantified and further explained in note 5.Our investment in the U.K. Government Gilts falls under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of ourinvestment in the U.K. Government Gilts, which is included in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets, was $37.2 million and $32.3 million,respectively.Fair value measurements are also used in connection with nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with acquisition accounting and impairmentassessments. The nonrecurring valuations associated with acquisition accounting primarily include the valuation of reporting units, customer relationshipand other intangible assets and property and equipment. Unless a reporting unit has a readily determinable fair value, the valuation of reporting units is basedat least in part on discounted cash flow analyses. With the exception of certain inputs for our weighted average cost of capital and discount rate calculationsthat are derived from pricing services, the inputs used in our discounted cash flow analyses, such as forecasts of future cash flows, are based on ourII-69 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015assumptions. The valuation of customer relationships and cable television franchise rights are primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is aform of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodology for customer relationship intangible assets requires us to estimate the specific cashflows expected from the customer relationship, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenue expected to be generated over the life of thecustomer relationship, contributory asset charges and other factors. The excess earnings methodology for cable television franchise rights requires us tomeasure the cash flows associated with our right to solicit and service potential customers, and the right to deploy and market new services in the serviceareas covered by currently held franchise agreements, considering expectations on future customer additions and other factors similar to those used invaluing customer relationships. Tangible assets are typically valued using a replacement or reproduction cost approach, considering factors such as currentprices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence. The nonrecurring valuations associated with acquisitionaccounting use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the year ended December 31, 2017, weperformed non-recurring valuations related to the acquisition accounting for the C&W Acquisition and the C&W Carve-out Acquisition. The weightedaverage discount rates used in the final valuation of the customer relationships acquired as a result of the C&W Acquisition ranged from 9.0% to 12.0%.In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted a number of our markets in the Caribbean, resulting in varying degrees of damage to homes,businesses and infrastructure in these markets. The most extensive damage occurred in Puerto Rico and certain markets within our C&W reportable segment(collectively, the Impacted Markets). The effects of the hurricanes were deemed to constitute triggering events with respect to the need to assess certainassets for impairment. Nonrecurring valuations were performed in connection with these impairment assessments, most notably to measure the fair value ofLiberty Puerto Rico and certain reporting units within C&W for purposes of assessing goodwill impairments, and to measure the fair value of Liberty PuertoRico’s cable television franchise rights. The nonrecurring valuations for impairment assessments used significant unobservable inputs and therefore fallunder Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We used discount rates of 8% and 10% in the valuation of Liberty Puerto Rico and certain reporting units withinC&W, respectively, while a discount rate of 9% was used in the valuation of Liberty Puerto Rico’s cable television franchise rights. These valuations usedprojected cash flows that reflected the significant risks and uncertainties associated with our recovery from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, including variablessuch as (i) the length of time it will take to restore the power and transmission systems, particularly in Puerto Rico, (ii) the number of people that will leavethese islands for an extended period or permanently and the associated impact on customer churn, (iii) the amount of potential insurance recoveries and (iv)the estimated capital expenditures required to restore the damaged networks in the Impacted Markets. For additional information regarding the impairmentcharges related to the hurricanes, see note 8.As part of our annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2017, we used a market-based valuation approach to determine the fairvalue of certain reporting units within C&W. The fair value of a reporting unit using a market-based approach is estimated based upon a market multipletypically applied to the reporting unit’s Adjusted OIBDA, as defined in note 18. We determine the market multiple for each reporting unit taking thefollowing into consideration: (i) public company trading multiples for entities with similar business characteristics as the respective reporting unit, a “tradingmultiple,” and (ii) multiples derived from the value of recent transactions for businesses with similar operations and in geographically similar locations, a“transaction multiple.” For additional information regarding impairment charges resulting from the annual goodwill assessments, see note 8.(7)InvestmentsA subsidiary of C&W holds a 49% interest in TSTT. Our investment in TSTT, which we carry at the lower of cost or fair value, is included in other assets,net, in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of our investment in TSTT was $93.2 million. Pursuant tocertain conditions to the regulatory approval of the Columbus Acquisition, we are required to dispose of our investment in TSTT by a deadline set by theTelecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago, which was recently extended to June 30, 2018. We cannot predict when, or if, we will be able todispose of this investment at an acceptable price. As such, no assurance can be given that we will be able to recover the carrying value of our investment inTSTT.II-70 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015(8)Long-lived AssetsImpairment ChargesThe following table sets forth impairments of our long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2017.

We evaluate goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily cable television franchise rights) forimpairment at least annually on October 1 and whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During ourannual goodwill impairment test, we concluded impairments were necessary at certain C&W reporting units primarily as a result of greater than expectedimpacts of competition and, in the case of one smaller C&W reporting unit, a longer expected recovery period from Hurricane Irma. Hurricane-related Impairment. In September 2017, certain of our operations in the Caribbean were severely impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, withthe most extensive damage occurring in Puerto Rico and certain of C&W’s markets. Based on our estimates of the impacts on our operations from thesehurricanes, we recorded impairment charges to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill, property and equipment and other indefinite-lived intangibleassets as set forth in the table above. These impairment charges are based on our assessments of currently available information and, accordingly, it ispossible that further impairment charges could be required if the adverse impacts of the hurricanes or estimated costs of recovery are greater than expected.Additionally, the impairment of property and equipment is net of $18.2 million of estimated probable insurance recoveries for property and equipmentdamages that are expected to be covered by our insurance program.For additional information regarding the impacts of the hurricanes and the fair value methods and related assumptions used in our impairmentassessments, see note 6.

Based on the results of our October 1, 2017 goodwill impairment test, a hypothetical decline of 20% or more in the fair value of C&W reporting unitsthat carry a goodwill balance or the Liberty Puerto Rico reporting unit could result in the need to record additional goodwill impairment charges from thosealready incurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2017. If among other factors, (i) our equity values were to decline significantly or (ii) the adverseimpacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors, including macro-economic and demographic trends, were to cause C&W’s or Liberty PuertoRico’s results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that additional impairment charges are required inorder to reduce the carrying values of the goodwill, cable television franchise rights and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets of these entities.Changes in the carrying amount of our goodwill during 2016 are set forth below: January 1, 2016 Acquisitions andrelatedadjustments Foreigncurrencytranslationadjustments December 31, 2016 in millions C&W$— $5,595.2 $(38.2) $5,557.0VTR377.0 — 20.9 397.9Liberty Puerto Rico277.7 — — 277.7Corporate and other (a)120.9 — — 120.9Total$775.6 $5,595.2 $(17.3) $6,353.5(a)Represents enterprise-level goodwill that was allocated to our Liberty Puerto Rico segment for purposes of our impairment tests.II-72 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Property and Equipment, NetThe details of our property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are set forth below: Estimated usefullife atDecember 31, 2017 December 31, 2017 2016 in millions Distribution systems3 to 25 years $3,878.4 $3,522.0Customer premises equipment3 to 5 years 1,382.8 1,205.4Support equipment, buildings and land3 to 40 years 1,306.3 954.8 6,567.5 5,682.2Accumulated depreciation (2,398.3) (1,821.3)Total $4,169.2 $3,860.9Depreciation expense related to our property and equipment was $595.7 million, $450.9 million and $203.9 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015,respectively.We recorded non-cash increases to our property and equipment related to vendor financing arrangements of $54.9 million, $45.5 million and nil during2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

For additional information regarding the Choice Acquisition, see note 4.During 2017, Liberty Puerto Rico borrowed an additional $85.0 million under the existing LPR First Lien Term Loan from existing LPR Second LienTerm Loan lenders. The net proceeds were used to prepay $85.0 million of the outstanding principal amount under the LPR Second Lien Term Loan. Theexchange in principal amounts was treated as a non-cash transaction in our consolidated statement of cash flows.In connection with the 2017 C&W Term Loan B-3 Facility financing, certain lenders of the C&W Term Loans novated $929.1 million principal amountunder the C&W Term Loans into the C&W Term Loan B-3 Facility, representing a non-cash financing transaction.(10)Income TaxesPeriod post Split-OffAs further described in note 1, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement (as defined in note 12) with Liberty Global that became effective uponconsummation of the Split-Off. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, tax liabilities and benefits relating to taxable periods before and after the Split-Offwill be computed and apportioned between Liberty Latin America and Liberty Global, and responsibility for payment of those tax liabilities (including anytaxes attributable to the Split-Off and related internal restructurings) and use of those tax benefits will be allocated between Liberty Latin America andLiberty Global. Furthermore, the Tax Sharing Agreement sets forth the rights of Liberty Latin America and Liberty Global in respect of the preparation andfiling of tax returns, the handling of audits or other tax proceedings and assistance and cooperation and other matters, in each case, for taxable periods endingon or before or that otherwise include the date of the Split-Off.Periods prior to Split-OffPrior to the Split-Off, the income taxes of Liberty Latin America were presented on a standalone basis, and each tax paying entity or group within LibertyLatin America was presented on a separate return basis. Liberty Latin America included Liberty Global subsidiaries that were included in combined orconsolidated tax returns, including tax returns in the Netherlands (the Dutch Fiscal Unity), the U.K. (the U.K. Tax Group) and the U.S. (the U.S. Tax Group).These tax groups also included Liberty Global subsidiaries that were not included in Liberty Latin America. Certain of the entities included in the DutchFiscal Unity, the U.K. Tax Group and the U.S. Tax Group were included in Liberty Latin America. As a result, we recorded related-party tax allocations torecognize changes in the tax attributes of certain entities of Liberty Latin America that were included in the Dutch Fiscal Unity,II-82 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015the U.K. Tax Group or the U.S. Tax Group. Prior to the July 1, 2015 completion of the LiLAC Transaction, the related-party tax allocations reflected in theseconsolidated financial statements were not cash settled and were not the subject of Tax Sharing Agreements. Accordingly, related-party tax allocations priorto July 1, 2015 are reflected as adjustments to accumulated net contributions (distributions) in our consolidated statements of equity.In connection with the LiLAC Transaction, effective July 1, 2015, the allocation of tax attributes between Liberty Latin America and subsidiaries ofLiberty Global that were not included in Liberty Latin America were based on a tax sharing policy. This tax sharing policy generally resulted in theallocation of a portion of Liberty Global’s tax attributes to Liberty Latin America based on the relative tax attributes of the legal entities included in LibertyLatin America. Nevertheless, to the extent that Liberty Global management concluded the actions or results of one group gave rise to changes in the taxattributes of the other group, the change in those tax attributes were generally allocated to the group whose actions or results gave rise to such changes.Similarly, in cases where legal entities in one group joined in a common tax filing with entities of the other group, changes in the tax attributes of the groupthat included the filing entity that were the result of the actions or financial results of one or more entities of the other group were allocated to the group thatdid not include the filing entity. For periods beginning on and after July 1, 2015, we did not record non-interest bearing related-party payables andreceivables in connection with the allocation of tax attributes to the extent that tax assets were utilized or taxable income was included in the return for theapplicable tax year. These related-party payables and receivables were expected to be cash settled annually within 90 days following the filing of therelevant tax return. Changes to previously filed tax returns will be reflected in the related-party payables and receivables, and any prior settlement ofpayables will be adjusted to reflect amended tax filings.On July 11, 2017, Liberty Latin America was formed as a corporation in Bermuda where a Tax Assurance Certificate has been granted to guarantee thatany imposition of income or other taxes will not be applicable to Liberty Latin America through March 31, 2035. Accordingly, Liberty Latin America doesnot file a primary corporate income tax return in Bermuda, although various subsidiaries in other jurisdictions are taxable on operations and do file incometax returns in their respective jurisdictions. The income taxes of Liberty Latin America are presented, prior to the Split-Off, on a separate return basis for eachtax-paying entity or group.The components of our earnings (loss) before income taxes are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 in millions U.K.$(188.7) $(234.8) $(2.3)Puerto Rico(101.8) 57.0 13.9Chile127.2 47.4 182.3The Netherlands(24.3) (42.2) (106.1)Barbados(39.0) (29.7) —Jamaica13.3 (25.9) —U.S.(194.0) 24.5 4.5The Bahamas(90.5) 22.7 —Panama86.2 19.4 —Other (a)(239.6) 63.5 —Total$(651.2) $(98.1) $92.3(a)The amount for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes impairment charges of $191.2 million and $112.5 million in our Trinidad and Tobago andBritish Virgin Islands reporting units, respectively.

However, a majority of our subsidiaries operate injurisdictions where income tax is imposed at local applicable statutory rates. Accordingly, “international rate differences” set forth in the table above,reflects the computed tax benefit (expense) on pre-tax book income or (loss) in each taxable jurisdiction. The comparative years of 2016 and 2015were computed on the basis that the statutory or “expected” tax rates are the U.K. rates of 20% for 2016 and 20.25% for 2015, given the organizationalstructure of the Company in those years. The statutory or “expected” rate for 2015 is a blended rate based on applicable U.K. rates before and after therate change that took place on April 1 of such year.(b)The 2017 corporate tax rates applicable to our primary tax jurisdictions are: Chile 25.5%; Puerto Rico 39%; U.K. 19%; Barbados 2.5% and 25%; theNetherlands 25%; and Panama 25%. The corporate tax rates applicable to our Barbados operations varies as we have operations that represent differenttypes of business entities and, accordingly, calculate tax at both 2.5% and 25%.(c)On January 1, 2017, legislation was enacted that changed the income tax rate in Trinidad and Tobago from 25% to 30%. Substantially all of theimpact of this rate change on our deferred tax balances was recorded during the first quarter of 2017 when the change in tax law was enacted.(d)On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act legislation was enacted in the U.S., which permanently reduces the corporate income tax rate to21% (effective January 1, 2018), among other corporate income tax changes. Substantially all of the impact of this rate change on our U.S. deferred taxbalances was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017 when the change in tax law was enacted.(e)During 2015, the U.K. enacted legislation that will change the corporate income tax rate from the current rate of 20% to 19% in April 2017 and 18% inApril 2020. Substantially all of the impact of these rate changes on Liberty Latin America’s deferred tax balances was recorded in the fourth quarter of2015 when the change in law was enacted. During the third quarter of 2016, the U.K. enacted legislation that will further reduce the corporate incometax rate in April 2020 from 18% to 17%. Substantially all of the impact of this rate change on Liberty Latin America’s deferred tax balances wasrecorded during the third quarter of 2016.(f)The corporate tax rate applicable to our Chilean operations increased from 22.5% in 2015 to 24% in 2016 and 25.5% in 2017 and, in 2018 and futureyears, will increase to 27%. As of 2017, the 35% withholding tax applicable to payments made by our Chilean operations to non-resident shareholderswill be based only on actual distributions to shareholders and only 65% of the actual corporate tax paid by our Chilean operations will be available tobe used as a credit against this withholding tax. In the case of shareholders resident in countries that have tax treaties in force with Chile, there will bea full credit for the corporate tax paid.II-85 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposesand such amounts recognized for tax purposes.

Further, tax jurisdictions restrict the type of taxable income that the above losses are able to offset.Through our consolidated subsidiaries, we maintain a presence in many countries. Many of these countries maintain highly complex tax regimes. Wehave accounted for the effect of these taxes based on what we believe is reasonably expected to apply to us and our consolidated subsidiaries based on taxlaws currently in effect and reasonable interpretations of these laws. Because some jurisdictions do not have systems of taxation that are as well established asthe system of income taxation used in other major industrialized countries, it may be difficult to anticipate how other jurisdictions will tax our and ourconsolidated subsidiaries’ current and future operations.Although we intend to take reasonable tax planning measures to limit our tax exposures, no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so.We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, our income tax filings are subject to review by various taxingauthorities. In connection with such reviews, disputes could arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain income tax rulesrelated to our business in that tax jurisdiction. Such disputes may result in future tax and interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. Theultimate resolution of tax contingencies will take place upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date with the applicable taxing authorities in either cash oragreement of income tax positions or (ii) the date when the tax authorities are statutorily prohibited from adjusting the company’s tax computations.In general, tax returns filed by, or that include, entities comprising Liberty Latin America for years prior to 2008 are no longer subject to examination bytax authorities. We are currently undergoing income tax audits in Chile, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago and certain other jurisdictions within the Caribbeanand Latin America. Except as noted below, any adjustments that might arise from the foregoing examinations are not expected to have a material impact onour consolidated financial position or results of operations. At VTR, adjustments received from the Chilean tax authorities for the tax years 2011 through2014 are in dispute. We have appealed the adjustments related to the 2011 through 2014 tax years to the Chilean tax courts.II-87 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015The changes in our unrecognized tax benefits are summarized below: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 in millions Balance at January 1$182.3 $3.6 $—Additions for tax positions of prior years67.6 136.4 —Effects of business acquisitions— 38.0 —Additions based on tax positions related to the current year24.0 10.0 3.9Lapse of statute of limitations(5.9) (6.0) —Foreign currency translation17.8 1.1 (0.3)Decrease for settlement with tax authorities(1.0) — —Reductions for tax positions of prior years(20.3) (0.8) —Balance at December 31$264.5 $182.3 $3.6No assurance can be given that any of these unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized or realized.As of December 31, 2017, our unrecognized tax benefits included $261.1 million of tax benefits that would have a favorable impact on our effectiveincome tax rate if ultimately recognized, after considering amounts that we would expect to be offset by valuation allowances and other factors.During 2018, it is reasonably possible that the resolution of ongoing examinations by tax authorities as well as expiration of statutes of limitation couldresult in reductions to our unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken as of December 31, 2017. Other than the potential impacts of ongoingexaminations and the expected expiration of certain statutes of limitation, we do not expect any material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits during2018. No assurance can be given as to the nature or impact of any changes in our unrecognized tax positions during 2018.During 2017, 2016 and 2015, our income tax benefit (expense) includes net income tax expense of $21.6 million, $14.6 million and nil, respectively,representing the net accrual of interest and penalties during the period. Our other long-term liabilities include accrued interest and penalties of $40.7 millionand $19.0 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.(11)EquityShare Capital. In connection with the Split-Off, we issued 48,428,841, 1,940,193 and 120,843,539 shares of Class A, Class B and Class C commonstock, respectively. As a result, the accumulated net contributions balance as of December 29, 2017 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital and isreflected as a change in capitalization in connection with the Split-Off in our consolidated statement of equity.Voting rights.

Upon completion of the Split-Off, the fees and allocated costs and expenses have been replaced by fees pursuant to the Split-OffAgreements. See discussion under “Split-Off Agreements” below for additional information regarding fees to be charged by Liberty Global to us subsequentto the Split-Off.Our related-party transactions are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 in millions Revenue$4.0 $6.5 $—Allocated share-based compensation expense(12.5) (8.7) (0.9)Charges from Liberty Global(12.0) (8.5) (4.3)Included in operating income (loss)(20.5) (10.7) (5.2)Interest income1.5 4.2 —Allocated tax benefit (expense)(9.4) 12.0 3.6Included in net earnings (loss)$(28.4) $5.5 $(1.6)Revenue.

As discussed in note 4, C&W acquired the Carve-out Entities on April 1, 2017.Allocated share-based compensation expense. These amounts represent share-based compensation that Liberty Global allocated to us with respect toshare-based incentive awards held by our employees. For additional information, see note 15.Charges from Liberty Global. Following the LiLAC Transaction, Liberty Global began to allocate a portion of the costs of their corporate functions,excluding share-based compensation expense, to us based primarily on the estimated percentage of time spent by corporate personnel providing services tous. From July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016, the annual amount allocated was $8.5 million. Effective January 1, 2017, the annual allocation wasincreased to $12.0 million. The allocated costs, which were cash settled, are included in SG&A expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.Although we believe the allocated costs are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such costs are reflective of the costs we would have incurred as astandalone company. Upon consummation of the Split-Off, we will no longer be allocated costs from Liberty Global but will prospectively incur chargesunder certain of the Split-Off Agreements described below.Interest income. These amounts includes interest income on C&W’s related-party loans receivable, as further described below.

A significant portion of these defined benefit plans are closed to new entrants,and existing participants do not accrue any additional benefits.C&W also operates unfunded defined benefit arrangements in the U.K., which are governed by individual trust deeds. One arrangement incorporates acovenant requiring C&W to hold security against the value of the liabilities. The security is in the form of U.K. Government Gilts, which are included inother assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of our investment in the U.K. Government Gilts was$37.2 million and $32.3 million, respectively.Annual service costs for these employee benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial method. The C&W subsidiaries thatmaintain funded plans have established investment policies for plan assets. The investment strategies are long-term in nature and generally designed to meetthe following objectives:•ensure that funds are available to pay benefits as they become due;•maximize the total returns on plan assets subject to prudent risk taking; and•preserve or improve the funded status of the trusts over time.The weighted average assumptions used in determining our benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost are as follows: December 31, 2017 2016 Expected rate of salary increase0.6% 0.7%Discount rate3.0% 3.3%Discount rate – CWSF uninsured liability2.4% 2.3%Return on plan assets3.2% 3.9%Retail price index inflation rate3.7% 3.5%Consumer price index inflation rate2.2% 2.0%II-93 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015The present value of the CWSF vested benefit obligations has been calculated as of December 31, 2017. Assumptions used are best estimates from arange of possible actuarial assumptions, which may not necessarily be borne out in practice. The assumptions related to mortality rates for the CWSF and U.K.unfunded plans are based upon the second series of Self-Administered Pension Scheme and the actual experience of the plan participants and dependents. Inaddition, allowance was made for future mortality improvements in line with the 2016 Continuous Mortality Investigation core projections with a long-termrate of improvement of 1.25% per annum. Based on these assumptions, the life expectancies of participants aged 60 are as follows: December 31, 2017 2027 2037 years Male participants and dependents28.0 28.7 29.6Female participants28.0 28.9 29.7Female dependents28.4 29.2 30.0RiskThrough our defined benefit pension plans, we are exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below. The net pensionliability can be significantly influenced by short-term market factors.The calculation of the net surplus or deficit of the respective plans depends on factors that are beyond our control, principally (i) the value at the balancesheet date of equity securities in which the respective plan has invested and (ii) long-term interest rates, which are used to discount future liabilities. Thefunding of the respective plans is based on long-term trends and assumptions relating to market growth, as advised by qualified actuaries and investmentadvisors, including:•Investment returns: Our net pension assets (liabilities) and contribution requirements are heavily dependent upon the return on the invested assets;•Longevity: The cost to the company of the pensions promised to members is dependent upon the expected term of these payments. To the extentthat members live longer than expected this will increase the cost of these arrangements; and•Inflation rate risk: In the U.K., pension obligations are impacted by inflation and, as such, higher inflation will lead to higher pension liabilities.At December 31, 2017, the above risks have been mitigated for approximately 61% of the CWSF’s liabilities and all of the Jamaican plan’s liabilitiesthrough the purchase of insurance policies, the payments from which exactly match the corresponding obligations to employees. The remaining investmentrisks in the CWSF have also been mitigated to a certain extent by diversification of the return-seeking assets.II-94 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015Sensitivity analysisThe following table summarizes (i) the impact a 1.0% increase or decrease in the applicable actuarial assumed rate would have on the valuation of ourpension plans and (ii) the impact of plan participants living, on average, one year longer or one year less than assumed would have on the valuation of theCWSF: Increase Decrease in millionsCWSF and U.K. unfunded arrangements Discount rate: Effect on defined benefit obligation$(229.0) $289.0Effect on defined benefit obligation, net of annuity insurance policies$(111.0) $146.0Inflation (and related increases): Effect on defined benefit obligation$161.0 $(152.0)Effect on defined benefit obligation, net of annuity insurance policies$87.0 $(79.0)Life expectancy: Effect on defined benefit obligation$84.0 $(82.0)Effect on defined benefit obligation, net of annuity insurance policies$23.0 $(23.0)Other plans Discount rate – effect on defined benefit obligation$(14.8) $18.8The sensitivity analysis is based on a standalone change in each assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. As reflected above, the impacton the net pension liability is significantly reduced for the CWSF as a result of the annuity insurance policies we hold.Using the projected unit credit method for the valuation of liabilities, the current service cost is expected to increase when expressed as a percentage ofpensionable payroll as the members of the plans approach retirement.II-95 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015The following tables summarize the activities of the C&W pension plans during the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from the date ofthe C&W Acquisition (May 16, 2016) to December 31, 2016, as applicable.The following is a summary of the funded status of our defined benefit plans: December 31, 2017 2016 in millions Projected benefit obligation at beginning of period$1,944.0 $—Acquisition (a)— 2,025.5Service cost1.2 0.9Contributions by plan participants1.2 —Interest cost58.8 42.9Actuarial loss (gain)(47.2) 213.0Benefits paid(103.1) (68.8)Divestitures, settlements and other0.3 6.9Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates164.8 (276.4)Projected benefit obligation at end of period$2,020.0 $1,944.0 Accumulated benefit obligation at end of period$2,016.3 $1,939.6 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of period$1,909.1 $—Acquisition (a)— 1,993.4Actual return on plan assets13.8 252.4Contributions by employer130.0 (5.6)Contributions by plan participants1.2 —Benefits paid(103.1) (68.8)Divestitures, settlements and other0.3 6.9Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates167.4 (269.2)Fair value of plan assets at end of period$2,118.7 $1,909.1Net asset (liability)$98.7 $(34.9)(a)Relates to the C&W Acquisition.Defined benefit plan amounts included in our consolidated balance sheets are as follows: December 31, 2017 2016 in millions Noncurrent assets$143.9 $19.3Noncurrent liabilities(45.2) (54.2) $98.7 $(34.9)II-96 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015The asset allocation by asset category, asset mix and fair value hierarchy level (as further described in note 6) of our defined benefit plan assets are asfollows: Assetmix (a) December 31, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 % in millions Equity securities27.0 $572.8 $347.5 $225.3 $—Bonds (b)8.4 177.2 175.1 2.1 —Insurance contracts (c)54.2 1,147.8 — — 1,147.8Real estate1.2 26.5 13.9 0.9 11.7Private equity0.6 11.9 — — 11.9Guarantee investment contracts5.8 122.7 10.8 111.9 —Cash2.8 59.8 59.8 — —Total100.0 $2,118.7 $607.1 $340.2 $1,171.4 Assetmix (a) December 31, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 % in millions Equity securities22.9 $436.7 $436.7 $— $—Bonds (b)15.1 288.5 287.7 0.8 —Insurance contracts (c)52.7 1,006.9 — — 1,006.9Real estate2.0 38.3 13.1 0.9 24.3Private equity0.6 11.4 — — 11.4Guarantee investment contracts6.0 114.5 7.6 106.9 —Cash0.7 12.8 12.8 — —Total100.0 $1,909.1 $757.9 $108.6 $1,042.6(a)We review the asset allocations within the respective portfolios on a regular basis.

Under the terms of the Contingent Funding Agreement, the change in control provided the trustee of the CWSF with theright to satisfy certain funding requirements of the CWSF through the utilization of letters of credit aggregating £100.0 million that were put in place inconnection with the Columbus Acquisition. On June 26, 2017, the trustee of the CWSF elected to utilize the funding right under these letters of credit and,accordingly, C&W contributed £100.0 million ($129.6 million at the applicable rate) to the CWSF on July 3, 2017, comprising $79.6 million (equivalent) ofexisting cash and $50.0 million of borrowings under the C&W Revolving Credit Facility.Taking into account the aforementioned £100.0 million contribution and based on the triennial valuation that was completed in July 2017, no fundingdeficit exists with respect to the CWSF. As a result, we do not expect to make material contributions to the CWSF through April 2019. In addition, based onDecember 31, 2017 exchange rates and information available as of that date, C&W’s 2018 contributions are expected to aggregate $5.6 million, includingamounts contributed to the unfunded defined benefit arrangements in the U.K. and the defined benefit plans in Jamaica and Barbados.II-99 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015(15)Share-based CompensationOur share-based compensation expense includes (i) amounts allocated from Liberty Global to Liberty Latin America prior to the Split-Off related toshare-based incentive awards held by our employees, (ii) amounts related to the VTR Plan and (iii) amounts related to the Liberty Puerto Rico Plan.

The following table sets forth the U.S. dollar equivalents of such commitments as of December 31, 2017: Payments due during: 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Total in millions Programming commitments$142.5 $45.4 $12.1 $5.5 $5.0 $— $210.5Network and connectivity commitments84.5 54.6 18.6 15.8 12.6 25.3 211.4Purchase commitments113.4 26.4 5.7 3.3 3.2 6.4 158.4Operating leases (a)29.4 20.0 16.3 12.7 10.7 23.3 112.4Other commitments (a)5.0 3.0 1.3 1.3 1.3 11.4 23.3Total (b)$374.8 $149.4 $54.0 $38.6 $32.8 $66.4 $716.0(a)Amounts include commitments under the Sublease Agreement and the Facilities Sharing Agreement as further described in note 12.(b)The commitments included in this table do not reflect any liabilities that are included in our December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet.Programming commitments consist of obligations associated with certain programming, studio output and sports rights contracts that are enforceable andlegally binding on us as we have agreed to pay minimum fees without regard to (i) the actual number of subscribers to the programming services, (ii) whetherwe terminate service to a portion of our subscribers or dispose of a portion of our distribution systems or (iii) whether we discontinue our premium sportsservices. In addition, programming commitments do not include increases in future periods associated with contractual inflation or other price adjustmentsthat are not fixed. Accordingly, the amounts reflected in the above table with respect to these contracts are significantly less than the amounts we expect topay in these periods under these contracts. Historically, payments to programming vendors have represented a significant portion of our operating costs, andwe expect that this will continue to be the case in future periods. In this regard, our total programming and copyright costs aggregated $387.5 million, $344.9million and $247.3 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.Network and connectivity commitments relate largely to (i) VTR’s domestic network service agreements with certain other telecommunicationscompanies and (ii) VTR’s mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) agreement. The amounts reflected in the above table with respect to certain of our MVNOcommitments represent fixed minimum amounts payable under these agreements and, therefore, may be significantly less than the actual amounts VTRultimately pays in these periods.Purchase commitments include unconditional and legally-binding obligations related to (i) the purchase of customer premises and other equipment and(ii) certain service-related commitments, including call center, information technology and maintenance services.In addition to the commitments set forth in the table above, we have commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans andsimilar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the netcash paid or received in connection with these instruments during 2017, 2016 and 2015, see note 5. For information concerning our defined benefit plans, seenote 14.Rental expense under operating lease arrangements amounted to $49.1 million, $45.4 million and $14.3 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015,respectively. It is expected that in the normal course of business, operating leases that expire generally will be renewed or replaced by similar leases.II-104 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015We have established various defined contribution benefit plans for our employees. Our aggregate expense for matching contributions under the variousdefined contribution employee benefit plans was $12.1 million, $6.4 million and $1.7 million for during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.Guarantees and Other Credit EnhancementsIn the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/orfinancial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making anymaterial payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future. In addition, C&W has provided indemnifications of (i) up to$300.0 million in respect of any potential tax-related claims related to the disposal in April 2013 of C&W’s interests in certain businesses and (ii) anunlimited amount of qualifying claims associated with the disposal of another business in May 2014. The first indemnification expires in April 2020 and thesecond expires in May 2020. We do not expect that either of these arrangements will require us to make material payments to the indemnified parties.Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other ContingenciesLiberty Puerto Rico Matter. In November 2012, Liberty Puerto Rico acquired San Juan Cable, LLC dba OneLink Communications (OneLink). Inconnection with this transaction (the OneLink Acquisition), Liberty Puerto Rico became a party to certain claims previously asserted by the incumbenttelephone operator (PRTC) against OneLink based on alleged conduct of OneLink that occurred prior to the OneLink Acquisition (the PRTC Claim). In July2016, the judge presiding over the PRTC Claim granted OneLink summary judgment that dismissed the PRTC Claim in its entirety. Accordingly, we releasedour previously-recorded provision and related indemnification asset associated with the PRTC Claim, resulting in a $5.1 million reduction to our SG&Aexpenses during the third quarter of 2016. In December 2016, we received $7.5 million related to the reimbursement of legal fees we incurred in connectionwith the PRTC Claim, resulting in a reduction to our SG&A expenses during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the release of the former owners of OneLink fromtheir obligations under the indemnification agreement entered into in connection with the OneLink Acquisition.Regulatory Issues. Video distribution, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile are regulated in each of the countries in which we operate.The scope of regulation varies from country to country. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number of risks. Regulation,including conditions imposed on us by competition or other authorities as a requirement to close acquisitions or dispositions, could limit growth, revenueand the number and types of services offered and could lead to increased operating costs and property and equipment additions. In addition, regulation mayrestrict our operations and subject them to further competitive pressure, including pricing restrictions, interconnect and other access obligations, andrestrictions or controls on content, including content provided by third parties. Failure to comply with current or future regulation could expose ourbusinesses to various penalties.In addition to the foregoing items, we have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legalproceedings, (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, noassurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of these contingencies will not result in a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows orfinancial 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 predictingoutcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from any unfavorable outcomes.(18)Segment ReportingWe generally identify our reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of our revenue, Adjusted OIBDA (as definedbelow) or total assets. We evaluate performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our reportable segments based on financial measures suchas revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. In addition, we review non-financial measures such as subscriber growth, as appropriate.Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is alsoa 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 ourmanagement for purposes of annual and other incentive compensationII-105 Liberty Latin America Ltd.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015plans. As we use the term, “Adjusted OIBDA” is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, provisionsand provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains andlosses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions,including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement ofcontingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of ourrecurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analyticalcomparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which weoperate. Effective December 31, 2017, we include certain charges previously allocated to us by Liberty Global in the calculation of Adjusted OIBDA. Thesecharges represent fees for certain services provided to us and totaled $12.0 million, $8.5 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017,2016 and 2015, respectively. We believe changing the definition of Adjusted OIBDA to include these charges is meaningful given they represent operatingcosts we will continue to incur subsequent to the Split-Off as a standalone public company. This change has been given effect for all periods presented. Areconciliation of total Adjusted OIBDA to our earnings (loss) before income taxes is presented below.As of December 31, 2017, our reportable segments are as follows:•C&W•VTR•Liberty Puerto RicoOur reportable segments derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B services, including video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephonyservices and, with the exception of Liberty Puerto Rico, mobile services. We provide residential and B2B services in (i) 18 countries, all but one of which arelocated in Latin America and the Caribbean, through C&W, (ii) Chile through VTR and (iii) Puerto Rico through Liberty Puerto Rico. C&W also provides (i)B2B services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale services over its sub-sea and terrestrial networks that connectover 40 markets in that region. Our corporate and other category includes our corporate operations and/or applicable intersegment eliminations.Performance Measures of our Reportable SegmentsThe amounts presented below represent 100% of each of our reportable segment’s revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. As we have the ability to controlLiberty Puerto Rico and certain subsidiaries of C&W that are not wholly owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in ourconsolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in theoperating results of Liberty Puerto Rico and certain subsidiaries of C&W are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in ourconsolidated statements of operations.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

presentation of the consolidated financial statements.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.OpinionIn our opinion,

Accordingly, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Both the previously reportedand revised presentation are in accordance with IASB-IFRS and the reclassifications had no impact on our net earnings (loss), net cash flows, net assets ortotal assets as previously reported. The impact the reclassifications had on certain revenue and other amounts are described further below.The following table summarizes the reclassifications to our consolidated statements of financial position at March 31, 2015: As previouslyreported Reclassadjustments As reclassified in millionsASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents$402.3 $— $402.3Trade and other receivables556.5 (113.8) 442.7Loans receivable – related-party55.7 18.6 74.3Prepaid expenses— 70.0 70.0Inventory50.2 — 50.2Other current assets— 25.2 25.2Assets held for sale164.0 — 164.0Total current assets1,228.7 — 1,228.7Noncurrent assets: Property and equipment, net2,579.4 — 2,579.4Goodwill— 2,159.6 2,159.6Intangible assets subject to amortization, net— 873.5 873.5Intangible assets3,033.1 (3,033.1) —Available-for-sale financial assets58.7 (58.7) —Other receivables153.6 (153.6) —Deferred tax assets56.7 (56.7) —Retired benefit assets16.8 (16.8) —Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss14.1 (14.1) —Investments in joint ventures and associates1.5 (1.5) —Other noncurrent assets— 301.4 301.4Total noncurrent assets5,913.9 — 5,913.9Total assets$7,142.6 $— $7,142.6IV-18 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015 As previouslyreported Reclassadjustments As reclassified in millionsLIABILITIES Current liabilities: Trade and other payables$853.5 $(519.0) $334.5Deferred revenue and advance payments— 89.8 89.8Current portion of debt and finance lease obligations82.2 — 82.2Current tax liabilities119.7 — 119.7Provisions129.4 — 129.4Other accrued and current liabilities— 429.2 429.2Total current liabilities1,184.8 — 1,184.8Noncurrent liabilities: Trade and other payables307.3 (307.3) —Noncurrent debt and finance lease obligations2,684.5 — 2,684.5Derivative instruments and other financial liabilities879.1 — 879.1Deferred tax liabilities293.2 — 293.2Deferred revenue and advance payments— 266.1 266.1Provisions110.0 (110.0) —Retirement benefit obligations208.8 (208.8) —Other noncurrent liabilities— 360.0 360.0Total noncurrent liabilities4,482.9 — 4,482.9Net assets$1,474.9 $— $1,474.9 Owners’ equity Capital and reserves attributable to parent: Share capital$223.8 $— $223.8Share premium260.3 — 260.3Reserves651.3 — 651.3Total parent’s equity1,135.4 — 1,135.4Noncontrolling interests339.5 — 339.5Total equity$1,474.9 $— $1,474.9(3)Accounting Changes and Recent PronouncementsFirst-time Application of Accounting StandardsThe application of the following accounting standards did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements:Standard/Interpretation Title Applicable forfiscal yearsbeginning on or afterIAS 1(amendments) Disclosure Initiative January 1, 2016IAS 16 / IAS 38(amendments) Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization January 1, 2016Annualimprovements Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012–2014 Cycle January 1, 2016IV-19 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015New Accounting Standards, Not Yet EffectiveExcept for the following accounting standards, there were no additional standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting StandardsBoard (IASB) that are not yet effective for the current reporting period that we see as relevant for our company. We have not early adopted the accountingstandards that are relevant for us.Standard/Interpretation Title Applicable forfiscal yearsbeginning on or afterIFRS 2(amendments) Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions January 1, 2018 (a)IFRS 9 Financial Instruments January 1, 2018 (b)IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2018 (c)IFRS 15(amendments) Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2018 (c)IFRS 16 Leases January 1, 2019 (d)IAS 7(amendments) Disclosure Initiative January 1, 2017 (e)IAS 12(amendments) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses January 1, 2017 (e)_______________(a)In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payments (IFRS 2), which includes new requirements for (i) the accounting ofshare-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations, (ii) consideration of vesting conditions on themeasurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction and (iii) the accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from a cash-settled to equity-settled award. These amendments are effective for annual reportingperiods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, while early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that these amendments toIFRS 2 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.(b)In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), which introduces an approach for the classification and measurement offinancial assets according to their cash flow characteristics and the business model in which they are managed, and provides a new impairment modelbased on expected credit losses. IFRS 9 also includes new regulations regarding the application of hedge accounting to better reflect an entity’s riskmanagement activities, especially with regard to managing non-financial risks. This new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginningon or after January 1, 2018, while early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that IFRS 9 will have on our consolidatedfinancial statements and related disclosures.(c)In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15), which requires an entity to recognize the amount ofrevenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. IFRS 15 will replace existing revenue recognitionguidance in IASB-IFRS when it becomes effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. This new standardpermits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We will adopt IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018 using thecumulative effect transition method. While we are continuing to evaluate the effect that IFRS 15 will have on our consolidated financial statements,we have identified a number of our current revenue recognition policies and disclosures that will be impacted by IFRS 15, including the accountingfor (i) time-limited discounts and free periods provided to our customers, (ii) certain up-front fees charged to our customers and (iii) subsidized handsetplans. These impacts are discussed below:•When we enter into contracts to provide services to our customers, we often provide time-limited discounts or free service periods. Under currentaccounting rules, we recognize revenue net of discounts during the promotional periods and do not recognize any revenue during free serviceperiods. Under IFRS 15, revenue recognition will be accelerated for these contracts as the impact of the discount or free service period will berecognized uniformly over the total contractual period.•When we enter into contracts to provide services to our customers, we often charge installation or other up-front fees. Under current accountingrules, installation fees related to services provided over our fiber are recognized as revenue in the period during which the installation occurs tothe extent these fees are equal to or less than direct selling costs.IV-20 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Under IFRS 15, these fees will generally be deferred and recognized as revenue over the contractual period, or longer if the up-front fee results in amaterial renewal right.•IFRS 15 will require the identification of deliverables in contracts with customers that qualify as performance obligations. The transaction pricereceivable from customers will be allocated between our performance obligations under contracts on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.Currently, we offer handsets under a subsidized contract model, whereby upfront revenue recognition is limited to the upfront cash collected fromthe customer as the remaining monthly fees to be received from the customer, including fees that may be associated with the handset, arecontingent upon delivering future airtime. This limitation will no longer be applied under IFRS 15. The primary impact on revenue reporting willbe that when we sell subsidized handsets together with airtime services to customers, revenue allocated to handsets and recognized when controlof the device passes to the customer will increase and revenue recognized as services are delivered will reduce.•IFRS 15 will require costs incurred to fulfill a customer contract involving the sale of an asset to be recognized only when those costs (i) relatedirectly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that can be specifically identified, (ii) generate or enhance resources that will be used insatisfying performance obligations in the future and (iii) are expected to be recovered. Currently, we recognize costs related to mobile handsetsales as incurred and we do not expect the adoption of IFRS 15 to have a material impact on our recognition of these costs.IFRS 15 will also impact our accounting for certain upfront costs directly associated with obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts. Under ourcurrent policy, these costs are expensed as incurred unless the costs are in the scope of another accounting topic that allows for capitalization. UnderIFRS 15, the upfront costs that are currently expensed as incurred will be recognized as assets and amortized over a period that is consistent with thetransfer to the customers of the goods or services to which the assets relate, which we have generally interpreted to be the expected customer life. Theimpact of the accounting change for these costs will be dependent on numerous factors, including the number of new subscriber contracts added in anygiven period, but we expect the adoption of this accounting change will initially result in the deferral of a significant amount of operating and sellingcosts.The ultimate impact of adopting IFRS 15 for both revenue recognition and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts will depend on the promotions andoffers in place during the period leading up to and after the adoption of IFRS 15.(d)In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), which supersedes IAS 17 Leases (IAS 17). IFRS 16 will result in lessees recognizing leaseassets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position, with lease assets to reflect the right-of-use and corresponding lease liabilitiesreflecting the present value of the lease payments. IFRS 16 will also result in additional disclosures about leasing arrangements and eliminate theclassification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee. IFRS 16 requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases atthe beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach also includes a number ofoptional practical expedients an entity may elect to apply. IFRS 16 also replaces the straight-line operating lease expense for those lessees applyingIAS 17 with a depreciation charge for the lease asset and an interest expense on the lease liability. This change aligns the lease expense treatment forall leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, while early adoption is permitted if IFRS15 is applied. Although we are currently evaluating the effect that IFRS 16 will have on our consolidated financial statements, we expect the adoptionof this standard will increase the number of leases included in our consolidated statement of financial position.(e)We evaluated the impact of applying these accounting standards on our consolidated financial statements and do not believe the impact of theadoption of these standards to be material.IV-21 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015(4)Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesEstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with IASB-IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts 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, allowances foruncollectible accounts, programming 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, share-basedcompensation and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which theestimate is revised and in any future periods affected.Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of all voting interest entities where we exercise acontrolling financial interest through the ownership of a direct or indirect controlling voting interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactionshave been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in special purpose entities that we do not control are accounted for using the equity method.The following list of subsidiaries only includes those companies whose results or financial position principally affect our consolidated financialstatements at March 31, 2016.Name of subsidiary Ownershipinterest Country ofincorporation Area of operation The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited(BTC) (a) 49% The Bahamas The BahamasCable & Wireless Jamaica Limited (CW Jamaica) 82% Jamaica JamaicaCable & Wireless Panama, SA (CW Panama) (b) 49% Panama PanamaCable & Wireless (Barbados) Limited (CW Barbados) 81% Barbados BarbadosCable & Wireless (Cayman Islands) Limited 100% Cayman Islands Cayman IslandsCable and Wireless (West Indies) Limited 100% England CaribbeanCable & Wireless Limited 100% England EnglandSable International Finance Limited (Sable) 100% Cayman EnglandCable and Wireless International Finance B.V. 100% Netherlands EnglandColumbus International Inc. 100% Barbados Caribbean/Latin AmericaColumbus Communications Trinidad Limited 100% Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad and TobagoColumbus Communications Jamaica Limited 100% Jamaica JamaicaColumbus Networks, Limited 100% Barbados Caribbean/Latin AmericaCoral-U.S. Co-Borrower LLC (Coral-U.S.) 100% United States United States_______________(a)We regard BTC as a subsidiary because we control the majority of the Board of Directors through a shareholders’ agreement. On July 24, 2014, wetransferred 2% of the share capital in BTC to the BTC Foundation, a charitable trust dedicated to investing in projects for the benefit of Bahamians.The remaining 49% non-controlling interest in BTC is held by The Bahamas government.(b)We regard CW Panama as a subsidiary because we control the majority of the Board of Directors through a shareholders’ agreement.IV-22 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits, which have a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash andcash equivalents are measured at cost. The details of our cash and cash equivalents are set forth as follows: March 31, 2016 2015 in millions Cash at bank and in hand$2.1 $5.9Short-term bank deposits165.4 396.4Total$167.5 $402.3Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow and cash pledged as collateral. Restricted cash amounts that are required to be used to purchase noncurrentassets or repay noncurrent debt are classified as noncurrent assets. All other cash that is restricted to a specific use is classified as current or noncurrent basedon the expected timing of the disbursement.Trade ReceivablesOur trade receivables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of an allowance for impairment of tradereceivables. The allowance for impairment of trade receivables is estimated based upon our assessment of anticipated loss related to uncollectible accountsreceivable. We use a number of factors in determining the allowance, including, among other things, collection trends, prevailing and anticipated economicconditions and specific customer credit risk. The allowance is maintained until either payment is received or the likelihood of collection is considered to beremote.InventoryInventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is the price paid, less any rebates, trade discounts or subsidies. Cost is based on thefirst-in, first-out (FIFO) principle. For inventory held for sale, net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price, less costs to sell.InvestmentsWe make elections, on an investment-by-investment basis, as to whether we measure our investments at fair value. Such elections are generallyirrevocable. For those investments over which we exercise significant influence, we elect the equity method of accounting.We continually review our equity and cost method investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other-than-temporary.The primary factors we consider in our determination are the extent and length of time that the fair value of the investment is below our company’s carryingvalue and the financial condition, operating performance and near-term prospects of the investee, changes in the stock price or valuation subsequent to thebalance sheet date, and the impacts of exchange rates, if applicable. If the decline in fair value of an equity or cost method investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value.Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in other comprehensiveincome or loss until sold or other-than-temporarily impaired, at which time the amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income orloss into finance income or expense in our consolidated statements of operations.For additional information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 9.Financial InstrumentsCash and cash equivalents, current trade and other receivables, other current assets, trade and other payables, other accrued and current liabilities areinitially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Due to their relatively short maturities, the carrying values of these financialinstruments approximate their respective fair value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables with a remaining term of more than one year are included innoncurrent assets, and the carrying amounts of these receivables approximate their fair value.IV-23 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015The carrying amounts of trade receivables with a remaining term of more than one year, loans and other receivables are recognized initially at fair valueplus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method, less any impairment losses.For information concerning how we arrive at certain of our fair value measurements, see note 9.Fair value through profit or lossFinancial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets and liabilities that are held-for-trading and thosedesignated upon initial recognition. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as held-for-trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the nearterm or if designated as such by the company. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent gains or losses related to changes in fairvalue are recognized in finance income or finance expense, respectively, in our statement of operations.DebtDebt is recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference betweenthe proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value of our debt is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over the respectiveterm of the borrowings using the effective interest method.Derivative InstrumentsAll derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes to the fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized inrealized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments within either finance expense or finance income in our consolidated statements ofoperations.The net cash received or paid related to our derivative instruments is classified as an operating, investing or financing activity in our consolidatedstatements of cash flows based on the objective of the derivative instrument and the classification of the applicable underlying cash flows. For derivativecontracts that are terminated prior to maturity, the cash paid or received upon termination that relates to future periods is classified as a financing activity.For information regarding our derivative instruments, including our policy for classifying cash flows related to derivative instruments in ourconsolidated statements of cash flows, see note 8.Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are measured at initial cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. When parts of an item ofproperty and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment. We capitalizecosts associated with the construction of new cable transmission and distribution facilities and the installation of new cable services. Capitalizedconstruction and installation costs include materials, labor and other directly attributable construction and installation costs and the costs of dismantling andremoving the items and restoring the site on which the assets are located. Installation activities that are capitalized include (i) the initial connection (or drop)from our cable system to a customer location, (ii) the replacement of a drop and (iii) the installation of equipment for additional services, such as digitalcable, telephone or broadband internet service. The costs of other customer-facing activities such as reconnecting customer locations where a drop alreadyexists, disconnecting customer locations and repairing or maintaining drops, are expensed as incurred. Financing costs capitalized with respect toconstruction activities were not material during any of the periods presented.Items of property and equipment are depreciated from the date they are available for use or, in respect of self-constructed assets, from the date that theasset is completed and ready for use. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each major component of an item ofproperty and equipment. The cable distribution systems have estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. Support equipment have estimated usefullives ranging from 3 to 40 years. Buildings (including leasehold improvements) have estimated useful lives up to 40 years. Customer premises equipmenthave estimated useful lives of 4 to 10 years. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reportingdate and may be adjusted based on management’s expectations of future use.Assets held under financing leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.IV-24 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Property and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Impairment exists when thecarrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For purposes ofimpairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independentof the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Impairment losses are reversed if the reasons for the impairment loss no longerexist or the impairment loss has decreased.Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that futureeconomic benefits associated with the item will be achieved and when the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any replaced item isderecognized. All other expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.Gains and losses due to disposals are included in other operating income in our consolidated statements of operations.Intangible AssetsOur primary intangible assets are goodwill, customer relationships, licensing and operating agreements, software costs and trade names. Goodwill andintangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives areamortized over their respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and reviewed for impairment when circumstances warrant. Each reportingperiod, we evaluate the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets that are subject to amortization to determine whether events or circumstances warrantrevised estimates of useful lives.Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, ormore frequently when there is an indication that it may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from thesynergies of the related business combination. For each cash-generating unit, if the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of fair value less costs to sell or valuein use) of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill andthen to the other assets pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequentperiod.Customer relationships and trade names are recognized at their fair values in connection with business combinations and are amortized over theirestimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 20 years.Costs associated with maintaining computer software are expensed as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable andunique software products controlled by us for which it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the assets would flow to ourcompany beyond one year are recognized as intangible assets. Capitalized internal-use software costs include only external direct costs of materials andservices consumed in developing or obtaining the software and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and whodevote time to the project. Capitalization of these costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intendedpurpose. Capitalized internal-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their applicable expected useful lives, which are approximatelythree years. Where no internal-use intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditures are expensed as incurred.Subsequent expenditures related to intangible assets are capitalized only when the expenditures increase the future economic benefits embodied in thespecific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated brands, are expensed as incurred.LeasingPayments associated with leases classified as operating leases are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis overthe term of the lease.ProvisionsProvisions represent liabilities for which the timing of settlement and/or amount are uncertain. A provision is recognized when (i) a present legal orconstructive obligation as a result of a past event exists, (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and (iii) areliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.For additional information on our provisions, see note 17.IV-25 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Employee Benefit PlansCertain of our subsidiaries maintain various employee defined benefit plans. Defined benefit pension plan costs are determined using actuarial methodsand are accounted for using the projected unit credit method, which incorporates management’s best estimates of future salary levels, other cost escalations,retirement ages of employees, and other actuarial factors. Our net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans represents the fair value of the planassets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligations. Defined benefit obligations for each plan are calculated annually by independent qualifiedactuaries. Defined benefit assets are only recognized to the extent they are deemed recoverable.Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in full in the period in which theyarise through the statement of comprehensive income together with returns on plan assets, excluding net interest that is recorded in our consolidatedstatement of operations. These remeasurements are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.Other movements in the net pension deficit or surplus are recognized in other operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. Thesegenerally comprise current and past service costs, including those arising from settlements and curtailments, and net interest amounts representing the changein the present value of plan obligations and plan assets resulting from the unwinding of discounts.Certain of our subsidiaries participate in externally managed defined contribution pension plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan underwhich we have no further obligation once the fixed defined contribution has been paid to the third-party administrator of the plan. Contributions under ourdefined contribution pension plan are recognized as incurred in other operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.For additional information on our employee benefit plans, see note 21.Foreign Currency Translation and TransactionsThe presentation currency of our company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations generally is the applicable local currencyfor each foreign subsidiary and equity method investee. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries (including intercompany balances for which settlementis not anticipated in the foreseeable future) are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. With the exception of certain materialtransactions, the amounts reported in our consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicableperiod. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded in foreign currency translation reserve in ourconsolidated statements of changes in owners’ equity. With the exception of certain material transactions, the cash flows from our operations in foreigncountries are translated at the average rate for the applicable period in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The impacts of material transactionsgenerally are recorded at the applicable spot rates in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The effect of exchange rates on cash balancesheld in foreign currencies are separately reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows.Transactions denominated in currencies other than our or our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are recorded based on exchange rates at the time suchtransactions arise. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated statements of financial position related to these non-functional currency transactions result in transaction gains and losses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (based onthe applicable period end exchange rates) or realized upon settlement of the transactions.Revenue RecognitionRevenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business.Service Revenue—Cable Networks. We recognize revenue from the provision of video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services over ourcable network to customers in the period the related services are provided. Installation revenue (including reconnect fees) related to services provided overour cable network is generally recognized as revenue in the period during which the installation occurs.Sale of Multiple Products and Services. We sell video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and, in most of our markets, mobile services to ourcustomers in bundled packages at a rate lower than if the customer purchased each product on a standaloneIV-26 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015basis. Revenue from bundled packages generally is allocated proportionally to the individual services based on the relative standalone price for eachrespective service.Mobile Revenue—General. Consideration from mobile contracts is allocated to the airtime service element and the handset service element based on therelative standalone prices of each element. The amount of consideration allocated to the handset is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon thedelivery of future airtime services. Certain of our operations that provide mobile services offer handsets under a subsidized contract model, whereby upfrontrevenue recognition is limited to the upfront cash collected from the customer as the remaining monthly fees to be received from the customer, including feesthat may be associated with the handset, are contingent upon delivering future airtime services.Mobile Revenue—Airtime Services. We recognize revenue from mobile services in the period the related services are provided. Revenue from pre-paycustomers is recorded as deferred revenue prior to the commencement of services and revenue is recognized as the services are rendered or usage rights expire.Mobile Revenue—Handset Revenue. Arrangement consideration allocated to handsets is recognized as revenue when the goods have been delivered andtitle has passed. Our assessment of collectibility is based principally on internal and external credit assessments as well as historical collection informationfor similar customers. To the extent that collectibility of installment payments from the customer is not reasonably assured upon delivery of the handset,handset revenue is not recognized until collectibility is reasonably assured.Business-to-Business (B2B) Revenue. We defer upfront installation and certain nonrecurring fees received on B2B contracts where we maintainownership of the installed equipment. The deferred fees are amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement or the expectedperiod of performance.Promotional Discounts. For subscriber promotions, such as discounted or free services during an introductory period, revenue is recognized only to theextent of the discounted fees charged to the subscriber, if any.Subscriber Advance Payments and Deposits. Payments received in advance for the services we provide are deferred and recognized as revenue when theassociated services are provided.Sales, Use and Other Value-Added Taxes (VAT). Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use and other value-added taxes.Income TaxesThe income taxes of CWC and its subsidiaries are presented on a separate return basis for each tax-paying entity or group based on the local tax law.Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities at undiscountedvalues. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as of the statement of financial positiondate.Generally, deferred taxes are recognized for any temporary differences between the tax base and the IASB-IFRS base, except in situations where goodwillis not recognized for tax purposes.Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and tax loss and interest carryforwards, if it is probable that future taxableearnings will be available against which the unused tax losses or temporary differences can be utilized. However, deferred tax assets are not recognized if thedeferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transactionaffects neither accounting earnings nor taxable earnings.The recoverability of the carrying value of deferred taxes is determined based on management’s estimates of future taxable earnings. If it is no longerprobable that enough future taxable earnings will be available against which the unused tax losses or temporary differences can be used, an impairment in acorresponding amount is recognized on the deferred tax assets.Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax ratesthat have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred taxes are not discounted.IV-27 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015If the changes in the value of assets or liabilities are recognized in a separate component of equity, the change of value of the corresponding deferred taxassets and liabilities are also recognized in this separate component of equity (instead of income tax expense).Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset in our consolidated balance sheets if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities andassets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.For additional information concerning our income taxes, see note 18.Litigation CostsLegal fees and related litigation costs are expensed as incurred.(5)Financial Risk ManagementOverviewWe have exposure to the following risks that arise from our financial instruments:•Credit Risk•Liquidity Risk•Market RiskOur exposure to each of these risks, the policies and procedures that we use to manage these risks and our approach to capital management are discussedbelow.Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk that we would experience financial loss if our customers or the counterparties to our financial instruments and cash investmentswere to default on their obligations to us.We manage the credit risks associated with our trade receivables by performing credit verifications, following established dunning procedures andengaging collection agencies. We also manage this risk by disconnecting services to customers whose accounts are delinquent. Concentration of credit riskwith respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many different countries. For informationconcerning the aging of our trade receivables, see note 10.We manage the credit risks associated with our financial instruments, cash investments and debt facilities primarily through the evaluation andmonitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. Most of our cash currently is invested in either (i) AAAcredit rated money market funds, including funds that invest in government obligations, or (ii) overnight deposits with banks. To date, neither the access tonor the value of our cash and cash equivalent balances have been adversely impacted by liquidity problems of financial institutions.Although we actively monitor the creditworthiness of our key vendors, the financial failure of a key vendor could disrupt our operations and have anadverse impact on our revenue and cash flows.While we currently have no specific concerns about the creditworthiness of any counterparty for which we have material credit risk exposures, the currenteconomic conditions and uncertainties in global financial markets have increased the credit risk of our counterparties and we cannot rule out the possibilitythat one or more of our counterparties could fail or otherwise be unable to meet its obligations to us. Any such instance could have an adverse effect on ourcash flows, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, (i) the financial failure of any of our counterparties could reduce amounts availableunder committed credit facilities and adversely impact our ability to access cash deposited with any failed financial institution and (ii) tightening of thecredit markets could adversely impact our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms, or at all.Our maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts of our financial assets. We do not believe there is any significant credit riskassociated with these financial instruments.IV-28 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Liquidity RiskLiquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulty in meeting our financial obligations. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, our primarysources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and access to the available borrowing capacity of our various debt facilities. For additional informationrelated to our debt, see note 15.Our liquidity is generally used to fund (i) corporate general and administrative expenses, (ii) interest payments on the CWC Notes and CWC CreditFacilities (each as defined and described in note 15), (iii) satisfy obligations under our employee benefit plans, (iv) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities,(v) acquisitions, (vi) other investment opportunities or (vii) income tax payments.Our most significant financial obligations relate to our debt obligations, which are described in note 15. The terms of certain of our debt contain variousrestrictions, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt. As a result, additional debt financing is only a potential source of liquidityif the incurrence of any new debt is permitted by the terms of our existing debt instruments.Our ability to generate cash from our operations will depend on our future operating performance, which is in turn dependent, to some extent, on generaleconomic, financial, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We believe that our sources of liquidity will besufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements during the next 12 months, althoughno assurance can be given that this will be the case. In this regard, it is not possible to predict how economic conditions, sovereign debt concerns and/or anyadverse regulatory developments could impact the credit markets we access and, accordingly, our future liquidity and financial position. In addition,sustained or increased competition, particularly in combination with adverse economic or regulatory developments, could have an unfavorable impact on ourcash flows and liquidity.We use budgeting and cash flow forecasting tools to ensure that we will have sufficient resources to timely meet our liquidity requirements. We alsomaintain a liquidity reserve to provide for unanticipated cash outflows.The following table provides the timing of expected cash payments based on the contractually agreed upon terms for our financial liabilities as ofMarch 31, 2016. The amounts are based on interest rates, interest payment dates and contractual maturities in effect as of March 31, 2016, as applicable.These amounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and will likely differ from the actual payments required in future periods.

Our primary exposure to variable-rate debt is through the LIBOR-indexed CWC CreditFacilities, as defined and further described in note 15.Assuming no change in the amounts outstanding, and without giving effect to any other variables, a hypothetical 50 basis point (0.50%) increase(decrease) in our weighted average variable interest rate would increase (decrease) our annual consolidated interest expense and cash outflows byapproximately $3.4 million.Foreign Currency RiskWe are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than our or our subsidiaries’respective functional currencies (non-functional currency risk), such as equipment purchases, programming and indefeasible rights of use contracts, notespayable and notes receivable (including intercompany amounts). Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated statementsof financial position related to these items will result in unrealized (based upon period-end exchange rates) or realized foreign currency transaction gains andlosses upon settlement of the transactions. Moreover, to the extent that our revenue, costs and expenses are denominated in currencies other than ourrespective functional currencies, we will experience fluctuations in our revenue, costs and expenses solely as a result of changes in foreign currency exchangerates. Generally, we will consider hedging non-functional currency risks when the risks arise from agreements with third parties that involve the futurepayment or receipt of cash or other monetary items to the extent that we can reasonably predict the timing and amount of such payments or receipts and thepayments or receipts are not otherwise hedged. In this regard, we have not hedged any non-functional currency risks related to our revenue, operating costsand expenses and/or property and equipment additions as of March 31, 2016.We also are exposed to unfavorable and potentially volatile fluctuations of the U.S. dollar (our presentation currency) against the currencies of ouroperating subsidiaries when their respective financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in foreign currency translation as a separate component of equity. Any increase (decrease) in the value of theU.S. dollar against any foreign currency that is the functional currency of one of our operating subsidiaries will cause us to experience unrealized foreigncurrency translation losses (gains) with respect to amounts already invested in such foreign currencies. Accordingly, we may experience a negative impact onour comprehensive earnings (loss) and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency translation. Our primary exposure to foreigncurrency risk during the year ended March 31, 2016 was to the Jamaican dollar and Trinidad and Tobago dollar, as 13.0% and 7.6% of our U.S. dollarrevenue during the period was derived from subsidiaries whose functionalIV-30 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015currencies are the Jamaican dollar and Trinidad and Tobago dollar, respectively. In addition, our reported operating results are impacted by changes in theexchange rates for the Colombian peso, Seychelles rupee and certain other local currencies in the Caribbean and Latin America. We generally do not hedgeagainst the risk that we may incur non-cash losses upon the translation of the financial statements of our subsidiaries and affiliates into U.S. dollars.(6)AcquisitionsColumbusOn March 31, 2015, we purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Columbus (the Columbus Acquisition) for $2.1 billion and assumedexisting Columbus debt, including (i) the Columbus Senior Notes (as defined and described in note 15) and (ii) certain term loans (as further described innote 15). The term loans were subsequently refinanced in connection with the Liberty Global Transaction, as further described in note 29.The fair value of the consideration provided in connection with the Columbus Acquisition was comprised of the following (in millions):Ordinary common shares of C&W (a)$1,287.0Cash708.0Put option (b)103.0Replacement share option awards (c)23.0Vendor taxes (d)6.0 $2,127.0_______________(a)Represents 1,557,529,605 ordinary common shares of $0.05 each issued to CVBI Holdings (Barbados) Inc, Clearwater Holdings (Barbados) Limited,Columbus Holding LLC and Brendan Paddick (collectively, the “Principal Vendors”) in proportion to their Columbus shareholding. The fair value ofthese shares included a discount for lack of marketability.(b)The Principal Vendors entered into lock-up and put option arrangements in respect of the issued ordinary common shares in connection with theColumbus Acquisition. Under these arrangements each holder could require us to reacquire certain of the shares in four tranches between 2016 and2019 at a strike price of $0.7349 per share. The fair value of the put option was recognized in capital and other reserves in our consolidated statementsof changes in owners’ equity. The put option meets the definition of an equity instrument, accordingly, it is revalued to fair value at each reportingdate. The financial liability (repurchase option) in connection with the put option was valued on initial recognition using the present value techniqueof the future liability. For additional information, see note 8.(c)The Columbus employee incentive share option plan was cancelled, with certain employees of Columbus rolling over their options into an equivalentCWC share option plan. As set out in IFRS 3, Business Combinations (IFRS 3), the fair value of these replacement awards attributable to the pre-acquisition service period is reflected as part of the consideration paid for Columbus.(d)As a consequence of the Columbus Acquisition, a deemed disposal of the shares of Columbus Dominicana S.A. was triggered giving rise to a potentialcapital gains tax liability of $5 million under Dominican Republic tax law. In addition, an indirect ownership transfer was triggered under Panamaniantax law for Columbus Networks S. de R.L, Telecommunications Corporativas Panamenas S.A., Columbus Networks de Panama SRL and ColumbusNetworks Maritima S. de R.L. giving rise to a tax liability of $1 million. As set out in IFRS 3, the fair value of these liabilities, which are paid on behalfof the seller, increased the consideration paid for Columbus.IV-31 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015We have accounted for the Columbus Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to theacquired identifiable net assets of Columbus based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values ofthese identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill.

These pro forma amounts are not necessarilyindicative of the operating results that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on such date. The pro forma adjustments are based on certainassumptions that we believe are reasonable.Revenue$2,404.6Net earnings$283.5Our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2015 includes revenue and net earnings of $44 million and $2 million,respectively, attributable to Grupo Sonitel.(7)Discontinued Operation and DisposalDiscontinued operationOn May 15, 2014, CWC shareholders approved the sale of Compagnie Monégasque de Communication SAM (CMC) to a private investment company.CMC was the holding company for our 55% stake in Monaco Telecom. The sale of CMC was completed on May 20, 2014 for total consideration of $453.6million.The results of Monaco Telecom, which is classified as a discontinued operation in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31,2015, are as follows (in millions):Revenue$29.2Expenses(20.3)Earnings before income taxes8.9Income tax expense(0.7)Earnings from discontinued operations, net of taxes8.2Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of taxes346.0 $354.2DisposalDuring the year ended March 31, 2015, we divested of our 32.577% non-controlling investment in Solomon Telekom Company Limited (Soltel) to theSolomon Islands National Provident Fund Board for total cash proceeds of approximately $16.5 million. The transaction resulted in a gain on disposal of $4million.

For derivativecontracts that are terminated prior to maturity, the cash paid or received upon termination that relates to future periods is classified as a financing activity. Wehad no cash inflow or outflow activity related to derivative instruments during the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.Embedded DerivativesThe redemption terms pursuant to the Columbus Senior Notes and Sable Senior Notes (each as defined and described in note 15) represent embeddedderivative instruments, which require bifurcation from the applicable debt instrument. Each of the bifurcated amounts are carried at fair value in ourconsolidated statements of financial position. Any gain or loss associated with the recurring valuation of these embedded derivatives is recorded in realizedand unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments in our consolidated statements of operations.Financial LiabilitiesAs part of the Columbus Acquisition, the Principal Vendors entered into lock-up and put option arrangements in respect of their issued considerationshares until 2019 (the Columbus Put Option). Our liability for the Columbus Put Option was valued on initial recognition using the present value techniqueof the future liability. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Columbus Put Option was settled in connection with the Liberty Global Transaction.IV-34 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Reconciliations of the movements of the Columbus Put Option, held at amortized cost, are as follows: March 31, 2016 2015 in millions Balance at beginning of period$879.1 $—Recognition of put option liability— 879.1Accretion of Columbus Put Option91.3 —Balance at end of period$970.4 $879.1(9)Fair Value MeasurementsWe measure (i) certain of our investments and (ii) our derivative instruments at fair value. The reported fair values of these investments and derivativeinstruments as of March 31, 2016 likely will not represent the value that will be paid or received upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assetsand liabilities. In the case of the investments that we measure at fair value, the values we realize upon disposition will be dependent upon, among otherfactors, market conditions and the forecasted financial performance of the investees at the time of any such disposition. With respect to our derivativeinstruments, we expect that the values realized generally will be based on market conditions at the time of settlement, which may occur at the maturity of thederivative instrument or at the time of the repayment or refinancing of the underlying debt instrument.We disclose fair value measurements according to a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value intothree 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 accessat 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, eitherdirectly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. We record transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3at the beginning of the quarter during which the transfer occurred. During the year ended March 31, 2016, no such transfers were made.All of our Level 2 inputs (interest rate futures, swap rates and certain of the inputs for our weighted average cost of capital calculations) and certain of ourLevel 3 inputs (forecasted volatilities and credit spreads) are obtained from pricing services. These inputs, or interpolations or extrapolations thereof, are usedin our internal models to calculate, among other items, yield curves, forward interest and currency rates and weighted average cost of capital rates. In thenormal course of business, we receive market value assessments from the counterparties to our derivative contracts. Although we compare these assessmentsto our internal valuations and investigate unexpected differences, we do not otherwise rely on counterparty quotes to determine the fair values of ourderivative instruments. The midpoints of applicable bid and ask ranges generally are used as inputs for our internal valuations.We have bifurcated an embedded derivative associated with certain redemption terms of our Columbus Senior Notes and Sable Senior Notes (each asdefined and described in note 15). The recurring fair value measurements of these embedded derivatives are determined using observable Level 2 dataapplying a binomial tree/lattice approach based on the Hull-White single factor interest rate term structure model. Under this approach, an interest rate latticeis constructed according to a given short-rate volatility and mean reversion constant as implied by the market at each valuation date.Fair value measurements are also used in connection with nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with impairment assessments and acquisitionaccounting. These nonrecurring valuations include the valuation of cash-generating units, customer relationship intangible assets and property andequipment. The valuation of cash-generating units is based at least in part on discounted cash flow analyses. With the exception of certain inputs for ourweighted average cost of capital and discount rate calculations that are derived from pricing services, the inputs used in our discounted cash flow analyses,such as forecasts of future cash flows, are based on our assumptions, which are consistent with a market participant’s approach. The valuation of customerrelationships is primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is a form of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodologyrequires us to estimate the specific cash flows expected from the customer relationship, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenueexpected to be generated over the life of the customer relationship, contributory asset charges and other factors. Tangible assets are typically valued using areplacement or reproduction cost approach, considering factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment andeconomic obsolescence. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.During the year ended March 31, 2016, we finalized our nonrecurring valuation for the purpose of determining the acquisition accounting for the ColumbusAcquisition.IV-35 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements –

Due to thenature of the telecommunications industry, balances relating to interconnection with other carriers often have lengthy settlement periods. Generally,interconnection agreements with major carriers result in both receivables and payables balances with the same counterparty. Industry practice is thatreceivable and payable amounts relating to interconnection revenue and costs for a defined period are agreed between counterparties and settled on a netbasis.The following table shows the development of the allowance for impairment of trade receivables: Year ended March 31, 2016 2015 in millions Allowance at beginning of period$69.7 $78.0Reclassification from held-for-sale0.9 1.9Business disposals— (6.8)Provisions for impairment of receivables25.2 19.7Write-off of receivables(14.4) (22.4)Foreign currency translation(0.2) (0.7)Allowance at end of period$81.2 $69.7When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

perform annual impairment reviews of the carrying value of goodwill in each of the reportable segments in which we operate. For the purpose ofimpairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows, known as cash-generating units. We haveprincipally determined our cash-generating units to be the country in which the business operates with the exception of those segments that have discreteservice lines and cash inflows, which are monitored by management on that basis.We performed our annual impairment review effective March 31, 2016. In performing the review, the recoverable amounts of the cash-generating unitwas determined based on the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use of the respective cash-generating unit. The fair valuemeasurement was categorized as Level 3 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation technique used. The value in use for each cash-generating unit wasestimated using discounting cash flows, which used pre-tax discount rates dependent on the risk-adjusted cost of capital of the respective cash-generatingunit. In connection with the annual impairment review, we impaired $3.3 million of goodwill associated with Dekal Wireless (Holding) Limited, which isincluded in our “other” cash-generating unit.The key assumptions used in the impairment review and the estimated recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit over its carrying value are asfollows: Networks Trinidad &Tobago Jamaica Curacao Key assumptions: Pre-tax discount rate9.2% 14.6% 11.5% 10.9%Long-term growth rate1.5% 5.0% 3.5% 5.0%Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA (a)9.3 - 25.2 6.0 - 9.5 6.8 - 18.6 6.0 - 9.0Budgeted capital expenditure (b)8.4 - 12.9 3.6 17.4 - 27.5 1.0 Change required for carrying amount to equal recoverable amount (in millions)$617.0 $56.0 $272.0 $7.0_______________(a)Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA is expressed as the range of annual growth rates in operations in the initial five years of the value in use calculation asderived from a three-year forecast approved by the board of directors.(b)Budgeted capital expenditures is expressed as a percentage of revenue in the initial five years of the value in use calculation.Our impairment review results of the recoverable amounts of our cash-generating units are sensitive to a number of assumptions, including those keyassumptions noted in the table above.If, among other factors, (i) our enterprise value were to decline significantly or (ii) the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or otherfactors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that further impairment chargesare required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets.

Many of these countries maintain highly complex tax regimes that differsignificantly from the system of income taxation used in the U.K. We have accounted for the effect of these taxes based on what we believe is reasonablyexpected to apply to us and our subsidiaries based on tax laws currently in effect and reasonable interpretations of these laws. Because some jurisdictions donot have systems of taxation that are as well established as the system of income taxation used in the U.K. or tax regimes used in other major industrializedcountries, it may be difficult to anticipate how other jurisdictions will tax our and our subsidiaries’ current and future operations. The income taxes of CWCand its subsidiaries are presented on a separate return basis for each tax-paying entity or group based on the local tax law.The combined details of our current and deferred income tax benefit (expense) that are included in our consolidated statements of operations are asfollows: Year ended March 31, 2016 2015 in millions Current tax expense$44.6 $36.4Deferred tax expense (benefit)6.9 (4.7)Total income tax expense$51.5 $31.7Income tax expense attributable to our earnings (loss) before income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.K. tax rate as a result ofthe following: Year ended March 31, 2016 2015 in millions Income tax expense (benefit) at U.K. statutory tax rate (a)$35.4 $(0.2)Effect of changes in unrecognized deferred tax assets46.5 17.0Adjustments relating to prior years(33.9) 10.0Non-deductible or non-taxable interest and other expenses26.0 8.0International rate differences (b)(24.5) (17.6)Effect of withholding tax and intra-group dividends2.0 16.0Other— (1.5)Total income tax expense$51.5 $31.7_______________(a)The applicable statutory tax rate in the U.K. is 20% and 21% for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.(b)Amounts reflect adjustments (either an increase or a decrease) to “expected” tax benefit (loss) for statutory rates in jurisdictions in which we operateoutside of the U.K.During 2015, the U.K. enacted legislation that will change the corporate income tax rate from the current rate of 20.0% to 19.0% in April 2017 and18.0% in April 2020. During the third quarter of 2016, the U.K. enacted legislation that will further reduce the corporate income tax rate in April 2020 from18.0% to 17.0%. Due to our unrecognized deferred tax assets in the U.K., these U.K. statutory rate changes are not expected to significantly impact ourdeferred income taxes.IV-52 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015The details of our deferred tax balances at March 31, 2016 and our deferred tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2016 are as follows: March 31, 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 Deferred taxassets Deferred taxliabilities Foreign currencytranslationadjustments Recognition instatement ofoperations in millions Net operating loss and other carryforwards$17.4 $— $— $4.0Property and equipment19.6 (154.8) (1.3) 7.0Intangible assets— (164.5) (1.2) (0.2)Investments— (0.5) — —Receivables4.9 — — —Accrued interest10.4 — — —Other49.1 (23.9) 0.5 (3.9)Net assets with liabilities within same jurisdiction(65.6) 65.6 — —Total$35.8 $(278.1) $(2.0) $6.9The details of our deferred tax balances at March 31, 2015 and our deferred tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2015 are as follows: March 31, 2015 Year ended March 31, 2015 Deferred taxassets Deferred taxliabilities Acquisitions, netof disposals Foreign currencytranslationadjustments Recognition instatement ofoperations in millions Net operating loss and other carryforwards$21.4 $— $(4.0) $— $(1.4)Long-lived assets22.0 (274.0) (233.0) 0.8 (5.8)Other20.6 (27.4) (10.4) 0.9 2.5Net assets with liabilities within same jurisdiction(8.2) 8.2 — — —Total$55.8 $(293.2) $(247.4) $1.7 $(4.7)Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following temporary differences: March 31, 2016 2015 in millions Net operating loss and other carryforwards$7,960.0 $7,339.0Capital allowances available on noncurrent assets150.0 70.0Pensions186.0 205.0Other133.0 156.0 $8,429.0 $7,770.0IV-53 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015The significant components of our net operating loss and other carryforwards and related tax assets at March 31, 2016 are as follows:Jurisdiction Tax losscarryforward Relatedtax asset Expirationdate in millions Barbados$73.3 $12.2 2016 - 2022Colombia9.5 3.6 IndefiniteAll other countries6.6 1.6 VariousTotal$89.4 $17.4 We and our subsidiaries file consolidated and standalone income tax returns in various jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, our income taxfilings are subject to review by various taxing authorities. In connection with such reviews, disputes could arise with the taxing authorities over theinterpretation or application of certain income tax rules related to our business in that tax jurisdiction. Such disputes may result in future tax and interest andpenalty assessments by these taxing authorities. The ultimate resolution of tax contingencies will take place upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date withthe applicable taxing authorities in either cash or agreement of income tax positions or (ii) the date when the tax authorities are statutorily prohibited fromadjusting the company’s tax computations.(19)Owners’ EquityWe had 4,475,953,616 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.05 nominal value outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and 2015. In connection with the LibertyGlobal Transaction, all issued and outstanding CWC shares (including all shares then held in treasury) were cancelled, and CWC became a private, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global. For additional information, see note 29.DividendsDuring the year ended March 31, 2016, no dividends were declared or paid. On August 7, 2015, we paid the final dividend of $115.6 million (2.67 centsper share) for the year ended March 31, 2015.In addition, CW Panama and BTC declared and paid dividends in aggregate of $54.0 million and $86.0 million during the years ended March 31, 2016and 2015, respectively.

These plans include both defined benefit plans, where retirementbenefits are based on employees’ remuneration and length of service, and defined contribution plans, where retirement benefits reflect the accumulated valueof agreed contributions paid by, and in respect of, employees. Contributions to the defined benefit plans are made in accordance with the recommendationsof independent actuaries who value the plans.Cable & Wireless Superannuation Fund (CWSF)The CWSF provides defined benefit and defined contribution arrangements for current and former employees of CWC. The CWSF has been closed to newdefined benefit members since 1998 and was closed to future accrual of benefits effective from March 31, 2016.Regulatory framework and governanceU.K. regulations govern (i) the nature of the relationship between CWC and the CWSF Board of Trustees (the Trustees) and (ii) the trustee-administeredfunds in which the assets of the CWSF are held. Responsibility for the governance of the CWSF, including investment decisions and contribution schedules,lies with the Trustees who must consult with the company on such matters. In accordance with the CWSF’s governing documents, the Trustees must becomposed of representatives of the company, plan participants and an independent trustee.IV-55 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015The weighted average duration of the total expected benefit payments from the CWSF is 16 years, and the weighted average duration of the expecteduninsured benefit payments from the CWSF is 21 years.We made contributions of $48.8 million and $51.4 million during the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to the CWSF.We are party to a contingent funding agreement (the Contingent Funding Arrangement) with the Trustees, under which the Trustees can call for a letterof credit or cash escrow in certain circumstances, such as a breach of certain financial covenants, the incurrence of secured debt above an agreed level or thefailure to maintain available commitments of at least $150 million under the CWC Revolving Credit Facility. Our acquisition of Columbus constituted a“change of control” under the Contingent Funding Arrangement and, therefore, the Trustees have the right to drawdown on the £100.0 million ($143.9million) letters of credit that were put in place in connection with the acquisition of Columbus pursuant to the terms of the Contingent Funding Arrangement.Based on the pending outcome of the triennial actuarial valuation as of March 31, 2016, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of2017, our contributions necessary to fund the CWSF by April 2019 are currently expected to range from nil to £23.0 million ($33.1 million) per year during2017, 2018 and 2019. We are currently in negotiations with the Trustees with respect to the future funding requirements of the CWSF and the outstandingletters of credit with a view to addressing the remaining deficit through future contributions over a period of time similar in structure to prior triennial periodcontribution schedules. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of such negotiations.Minimum funding requirementThe deficit recovery funding plan agreed with the Trustees as part of the March 2013 actuarial valuation constitutes a minimum funding requirement. Anadjustment to the deficit in the CWSF to account for the minimum funding requirement has been calculated in accordance with IFRIC 14, The Limits on aDefined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. The adjustment to the deficit, which is recorded in other comprehensive loss,was $54.3 million and $21.4 million during the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.Asset-liability matchingThe Trustees have purchased a bulk annuity policy pursuant to which the insurer assumed responsibility for the benefits payable to certain of theCWSF’s participants. At March 31, 2016, approximately 63% of the liabilities in the CWSF are matched by the annuity policy asset, which reduces thefunding risk for the company.U.K. unfunded pension arrangementsWe operate unfunded defined benefit arrangements in the U.K. that primarily relate to pension provisions for former Directors and other senior employeesin respect of their earnings in excess of the previous Inland Revenue salary cap. These arrangements are governed by individual trust deeds. One arrangementincorporates a covenant requiring us to hold security against the value of the liabilities. The security is in the form of U.K. Government Gilts, which areincluded in other noncurrent assets on our consolidated statements of financial position as available-for-sale financial assets.The weighted average duration of the expected benefit payments from the unfunded arrangements is 16 years.Overseas schemesWe operate other defined benefit pension schemes in Jamaica and Barbados, which are governed by local pension laws and regulations. These definedbenefit schemes are closed to new entrants and, in Jamaica, existing participants do not accrue any additional benefits.The Jamaican scheme owns an insurance policy, which matches in full the value of the defined benefit liabilities.When defined benefit funds have an IAS 19, Employee Benefits, (IAS 19) surplus, they are recorded at the lower of that surplus and the future economicbenefits available in the form of a cash refund or a reduction in future contributions. Any adjustment to the surplus (net of interest), referred to as an assetceiling adjustment, is recorded in other comprehensive income. During the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded asset ceiling adjustmentsrelated to the Jamaican scheme of nil and $26.0 million, respectively. The maximum economic benefit was determined by reference to the reductions infuture contributions available to the company.IV-56 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Based on March 31, 2016 exchange rates and information available as of that date, contributions to the overseas defined benefit pension schemes in2017 are expected to aggregate $3.0 million.Merchant Navy Officers Pension FundWhile we have ceased participation in the Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (MNOPF), we may be liable for contributions to fund a portion of anyfunding deficits of the MNOPF that may occur in the future. At March 31, 2016, our scheduled payments to the MNOPF are estimated to be approximately$2.0 million in aggregate through September 2020 relating to past actuarial valuations of the MNOPF. To the extent that there is an actuarially determinedfunding deficit of the MNOPF in the future, we may be required to fund a portion of such deficit.IAS 19 Employee Benefits Valuation – CWSF and other schemesThe IAS 19 valuations of our major defined benefit pension schemes have been updated to March 31, 2016 by independent actuaries who prepared thevaluation for the CWSF and the U.K. unfunded arrangements and reviewed the IAS 19 valuations prepared for the Jamaica overseas scheme. The IAS 19valuation of our Barbados overseas scheme was also prepared by independent actuaries.Our plan assets are composed of the following: March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 CWSF Overseas schemes CWSF Overseas schemes in millions Annuity policies$1,100.4 $96.0 $1,235.3 $88.0Equities – quoted323.5 45.0 338.4 37.0Bonds and gilts – quoted247.0 36.0 237.7 39.0Property1.0 42.0 1.0 41.0Cash and swaps20.2 22.0 17.6 23.0Total$1,692.1 $241.0 $1,830.0 $228.0The primary financial assumptions applied in the valuations and analysis of our schemes’ assets are as follows: March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 CWSF U.K. unfundedarrangements Overseasschemes (a) CWSF U.K. unfundedarrangements Overseasschemes (a) %Significant actuarial assumptions: RPI inflation rate2.90 2.90 4.70 2.80 2.80 4.10Discount rate3.40 3.40 8.60 3.10 3.10 9.20Discount rate – CWSF uninsured liability3.50 — — 3.20 — —Other actuarial assumptions: CPI inflation rate1.90 1.90 — 1.80 1.80 —Salary/wage increase3.50 — 5.30 3.40 — 5.90Pension increase (b)1.8 - 2.9 — 2.7 1.7 - 2.7 — 2.8_______________(a)Represents the weighted average of the assumptions used for the respective schemes.(b)The rate is primarily associated with the RPI inflation rate before and after expected retirement.IV-57 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Assumptions used are best estimates from a range of possible actuarial assumptions, which may not necessarily be borne out in practice. The assumptionsrelated to mortality rates for the CWSF and U.K. unfunded plans are based upon the second series of Self-Administered Pension Scheme (SAPS 2) and theactual experience of the plan participants and dependents. In addition, allowance was made for future mortality improvements in line with the 2015Continuous Mortality Investigation core projections with a long-term rate of improvement of 1.5% per annum. Based on these assumptions, the lifeexpectancies of participants aged 60 are as follows: March 31, 2016 2026 2036 years Male participants and dependents28.9 30.1 31.4Female participants28.4 29.7 30.9Female dependents31.4 32.6 33.7RiskThrough our defined benefit pension plans, we are exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below. The net pensionliability can be significantly influenced by short-term market factors.The calculation of the net surplus or deficit of the respective plans depends on factors that are beyond our control, principally (i) the value at the balancesheet date of equity shares in which the respective scheme has invested and (ii) long-term interest rates, which are used to discount future liabilities. Thefunding of the respective schemes is based on long-term trends and assumptions relating to market growth, as advised by qualified actuaries and investmentadvisors, including:•Investment returns: Our net pension assets (liabilities) and contribution requirements are heavily dependent upon the return on the invested assets;•Longevity: The cost to the company of the pensions promised to members is dependent upon the expected term of these payments. To the extentthat members live longer than expected this will increase the cost of these arrangements; and•Inflation rate risk: In the U.K., pension obligations are impacted by inflation and, as such, higher inflation will lead to higher pension liabilities.The above risks have been mitigated for a large proportion of the CWSF’s and all of the Jamaican scheme’s liabilities through the purchase of insurancepolicies, the payments from which exactly match the corresponding obligations to employees. Remaining investment risks in the CWSF have also beenmitigated to a certain extent by diversification of the return-seeking assets.In addition, the defined benefit obligations as measured under IAS 19 are linked to yields on AA rated corporate bonds; however, the majority of ourarrangements invest in a number of other assets, which generally move in a different manner from these bonds. Accordingly, changes in market conditionsmay lead to volatility in the net pension liability, actuarial gains or losses in other comprehensive income (loss), and, to a lesser extent, in the IAS 19 pensionexpense in our consolidated statements of operations.IV-58 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015Sensitivity analysisThe following table summarizes (i) the impact a 0.25% increase or decrease in the applicable actuarial assumed rate would have on the valuation of ourpension schemes and (ii) the impact of plan participants living, on average, one year longer or one year less than assumed would have on the valuation of theCWSF: Increase Decrease in millionsCWSF and U.K. unfunded arrangements Discount rate: Effect on defined benefit obligation$(69.0) $69.0Effect on defined benefit obligation, net of annuity insurance policies$(36.0) $36.0Inflation (and related increases): Effect on defined benefit obligation$48.0 $(48.0)Effect on defined benefit obligation, net of annuity insurance policies$28.0 $(28.0)Life expectancy: Effect on defined benefit obligation$53.0 $(53.0)Effect on defined benefit obligation, net of annuity insurance policies$19.0 $(19.0)Overseas schemes Discount rate – effect on defined benefit obligation$(6.0) $6.0Inflation – effect on defined benefit obligation$1.0 $(1.0)The sensitivity analysis is based on a standalone change in each assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. As reflected above, the impacton the net pension liability is significantly reduced for the CWSF scheme as a result of the annuity insurance policies we hold.The methods used to prepare the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.Using the projected unit credit method for the valuation of liabilities, the current service cost is expected to increase when

In addition, we have significant commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans and similar agreements, pursuant to whichwe expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 8. For information regarding our defined benefitplans, see note 21.Rental expense of our continuing operations under non-cancellable operating lease arrangements amounted to $83.2 million and $39.4 million duringthe years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. It is expected that in the normal course of business, operating leases that expire generally will berenewed or replaced by similar leases.We have established various defined contribution benefit plans for our and our subsidiaries’ employees. The aggregate expense of our continuingoperations for matching contributions under the various defined contribution employee benefit plans was $5.3 million and $6.5 million during the yearsended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.Guarantees and Other Credit EnhancementsIn the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/orfinancial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making anymaterial payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future. In addition, we have provided indemnifications of (a) up to$300.0 million in respect of any potential tax-related claims related to the disposal of our interests in certain businesses in April 2013 and (b) an unlimitedamount of qualifying claims associated with the disposal of another business in May 2014. The first indemnification expires in April 2020 and the secondIV-68 CABLE & WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)March 31, 2016 and 2015expires in May 2020. We do not expect that either of these arrangements will require us to make material payments to the indemnified parties.In addition, we are a party to the Contingent Funding Agreement with the Trustees of the CWSF. The Trustees have the right to drawdown on the £100.0million ($143.9 million) letters of credit that were put in place in connection with the acquisition of Columbus pursuant to the terms of the ContingentFunding Arrangement.Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other ContingenciesCOTT claim. In 2015, a claim was filed against a subsidiary of Columbus by the Copyright Music Organization of Trinidad and Tobago (COTT) fordamages of copyright infringement related to musical works transmitted by the subsidiary. We have recorded a provision based on our best estimate of thepotential liability associated with this claim. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy this contingency will not materially differ fromthe estimated amount we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of the COTT claim will not result in a material impact on our results ofoperations, cash flows or financial position.Regulatory. The Liberty Global Transaction triggered regulatory approval requirements in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. The regulatoryauthorities in certain of these jurisdictions, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Seychelles and Cayman Islands, have not completed theirreview of the Liberty Global Transaction or granted their approval. Such approvals may include binding conditions or requirements that could have anadverse impact on our operations and financial condition.Other regulatory Issues. Video distribution, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile businesses are regulated in each of the countries inwhich we operate. The scope of regulation varies from country to country. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number ofrisks. Regulation, including conditions imposed on us by competition or other authorities as a requirement to close acquisitions or dispositions, could limitgrowth, revenue and the number and types of services offered and could lead to increased operating costs and property and equipment additions. In addition,regulation may restrict our operations and subject them to further competitive pressure, including pricing restrictions, interconnect and other accessobligations, and restrictions or controls on content, including content provided by third parties. Failure to comply with current or future regulation couldexpose our businesses to various penalties.In addition to the foregoing items, we have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legalproceedings, (ii) issues involving VAT and wage, property, withholding and other tax issues and (iii) disputes over interconnection, programming, copyrightand channel carriage fees. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy these contingencies will not materially differ from any estimatedamounts we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of these contingencies will not result in a material impact on ourresults 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, thelack of a clear basis for predicting outcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from anyunfavorable outcomes.(29)Subsequent EventsFinancing TransactionsOn May 17, 2016, Sable and Coral-US Co-Borrower LLC (Coral-US), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWC, acceded as borrowers and assumedobligations under the credit agreement dated May 16, 2016 (the CWC Credit Agreement), pursuant to which (i) Coral-US entered into $1,100 million interms loans (the CWC Term Loans) and (ii) Sable and Coral-US entered into a $570 million revolving credit facility (the New CWC Revolving CreditFacility).A portion of the proceeds from the CWC Term Loans and amounts drawn under the New CWC Revolving Credit Facility were used to (i) repay amountsoutstanding under the then existing revolving credit facility, (ii) redeem certain senior secured notes issued by Sable and (iii) finance the special dividendpayable to CWC shareholders in connection with the Liberty Global Transaction, as further described below.

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lendershall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest andpayments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder topay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and theaccounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absenceof manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (throughthe Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lendermay attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordancewith its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by suchLender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.

Payments Generally.(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to payments in an Available Currency (other than Dollars) and in respect ofAlternative Letters of Credit, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders towhich such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder in an Available Currency (other than Dollars) except in respect ofAlternative Letters of Credit shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at theAdministrative Agent’s Office in such Available Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the dates specified herein. If, forany reason, the Borrowers are prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Available Currency (other than Dollars) except inrespect of71 Alternative Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent, as calculated by the Company, of the AvailableCurrency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable shareprovided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All paymentsreceived by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. in the case of Dollars or (ii) after 2:00 pm (London time) in the case of payments in an AvailableCurrency (other than Dollars), shall, in each case, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continueto accrue. Payments owing to an Alternative L/C Issuer in respect of reimbursement obligations under an Alternative Letter of Credit shall, to the extent notpaid with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, be made directly by the relevant Borrower to such Alternative L/C Issuer.(b) If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next followingBusiness Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would causepayment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on theimmediately preceding Business Day.(c) Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to theAdministrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assumethat the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, makeavailable a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent inSame Day Funds, then:(i) if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion ofsuch assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and includingthe date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in SameDay Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amountthereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to aBorrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicableOvernight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), thensuch payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute suchLender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor,the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, togetherwith interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing hereinshall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or theBorrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall beconclusive, absent manifest error.(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoingprovisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicableCredit Extension set forth in Article IV or in the applicable Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment arenot satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) tosuch Lender, without interest.(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several andnot joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender ofits corresponding72 obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute arepresentation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to payin full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on anydate, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority setforth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the LoanDocuments under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agentmay (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of theLenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of (a) the OutstandingAmount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepaymentof such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.Section 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein or required by court order, any Lender shall obtainpayment in respect of any principal or interest on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it,any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other sharecontemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenderssuch participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, asthe case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal or interest on such Loans orsuch participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from thepurchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender inits discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor,together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s requiredrepayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender inrespect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construedto apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time(including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for theassignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder or (C) any receipt or recovery by a Lender in itscapacity as an Alternative L/C Issuer at any time prior to the Administrative Agent having exercised any of its rights under Section 8.02 (an “AccelerationEvent”); following the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to all receipts and recoveries by Alternative L/CIssuers. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender werethe direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and bindingin the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases orrepayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices,requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent asthough the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For purposes of subclause (vi)(a) of the definition of Indemnified Taxes,a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which suchLender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.73 Section 2.14.

Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to theAdministrative Agent), prepay or, (I) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lenderto Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by theAdministrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate) or (II) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in anAvailable Currency (other than Dollars), to the extent the applicable Borrower and all Appropriate Lenders agree, convert such Loans to Loans bearinginterest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the applicable Borrower and all of the Appropriate Lenders, in each case either on the last day of theInterest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may notlawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest ratesbased upon the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of suchsuspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agentis advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. EachLender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of suchLender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest onthe amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment and conversion.92 Section 3.08. Inability to Determine Rates.If the Required Lenders reasonably determine in good faith that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or aconversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount,currency and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for anyrequested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) theEurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to suchLenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.

The amount of any Indebtednessoutstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principalamount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by aRestricted Subsidiary as of such date.(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar Equivalentprincipal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be (1) calculated by the Company based on the relevant currency exchange rate ineffect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower DollarEquivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in aforeign currency, and such refinancing would cause210 the applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing,such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does notexceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced and (2) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended toprotect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal andinterest on such Indebtedness, the swapped rate of such Indebtedness (if swapped into U.S. dollars) as of the date of the applicable swap. Notwithstanding anyother provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiariesmay Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principalamount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall becalculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on thedate of such refinancing.(f) For purposes of determining compliance with (1) Section 4.09(a) and (2) any other provision of the Loan Documents which requires thecalculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the DollarEquivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (if such Indebtedness has not been swapped into U.S. dollars, or if suchIndebtedness has been swapped into a currency other than U.S. dollars) shall be calculated by the Company using the same weighted average exchange ratesfor the relevant period used in the Consolidated financial statements of the Reporting Entity for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of Consolidated EBITDAdenominated in the same currency as the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated or into which it has been swapped.(g) The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent will not Incur, and will not permit the Loan Parties to Incur, any Indebtedness that iscontractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Loan Parties unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated inright of payment to the Obligations, on substantially identical terms (as conclusively determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or seniormanagement of the Company); provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any otherIndebtedness of the Loan Parties or any other Restricted Subsidiary solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured on a junior Lien basis or by virtue of notbeing guaranteed or by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment ordering provisions affecting different tranches of Indebtedness.Section 4.10 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock(a) The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, without the consent of theRequired Lenders, make any Asset Disposition unless:(1) the Company, such Permitted Affiliate Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including byway of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the fair market value(such fair market value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined conclusively in good faithby the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company or such Permitted Affiliate Parent (including as to the value of all non-cashconsideration), of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;(2) unless the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition (excluding anyconsideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other thanIndebtedness) received by the Company, such Permitted Affiliate Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash orCash Equivalents;
