Liberty Latin America Ltd. reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a revenue of $1,112.5 million, a 2.1% increase from $1,089.2 million in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, revenue totaled $3,282.7 million, slightly down from $3,306.6 million in 2024. The company achieved an operating income of $187.5 million for the quarter, a significant turnaround from an operating loss of $379.6 million in the prior year. However, for the nine-month period, the company reported an operating loss of $17.4 million, compared to a loss of $176 million in the same period of 2024.
The financial performance was influenced by several factors, including a notable reduction in impairment, restructuring, and other operating items, which fell to $17.3 million from $521.4 million year-over-year. This reduction contributed to the improved operating income. The company also reported a net earnings attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders of $3.3 million for the third quarter, compared to a loss of $435.8 million in the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period, the net loss attributable to shareholders was $556.4 million, an increase from a loss of $479 million in the previous year.
Operationally, Liberty Latin America served approximately 6.68 million mobile subscribers and reported 3.98 million revenue-generating units (RGUs) across its fixed networks as of September 30, 2025. The company noted a slight increase in customer counts, with broadband internet subscribers reaching 1.81 million, fixed-line telephony subscribers at 1.26 million, and video subscribers at 915,800. The company’s Adjusted OIBDA for the third quarter was $433.4 million, up from $403.1 million in the same quarter of 2024, reflecting a margin improvement across its segments.
Strategically, Liberty Latin America is navigating regulatory challenges related to its proposed merger with Millicom in Costa Rica, which was recently prohibited by the local telecommunications regulator, SUTEL. The company has filed an appeal against this decision. Additionally, Liberty Latin America is in the process of acquiring an 8.5% equity stake in Liberty Costa Rica for approximately $84 million, with the transaction expected to close in January 2026. The company also completed the acquisition of EchoStar's prepaid business and spectrum assets in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which is anticipated to enhance its market position.
Looking ahead, Liberty Latin America remains focused on improving its operational efficiency and expanding its market presence, particularly in the Caribbean and Latin America. The company is also monitoring the impacts of external factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, and the ongoing effects of Hurricane Melissa on its operations. The management expressed optimism about achieving positive cash flows and maintaining compliance with debt covenants, despite the challenges posed by the competitive landscape and regulatory environment.
