Overview
General
We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide,
A.residential and B2B services in:
i.over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean through two of our reportable segments, Liberty Caribbean and C&W Panama;
ii.Puerto Rico and USVI, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico; and
iii.Costa Rica, through our reportable segment Liberty Costa Rica.
B.through our reportable segment Liberty Networks, (i) enterprise services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale services over our subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect over 30 markets in that region.
At December 31, 2025, we (i) owned and operated fixed networks that passed 4,692,600 homes and served 3,836,600 RGUs comprising 1,746,500 broadband internet subscribers, 901,000 video subscribers and 1,189,100 fixed-line telephony subscribers, and (ii) served 6,794,000 mobile subscribers.
Hurricane Melissa
In late October 2025, the island of Jamaica was impacted by Hurricane Melissa with significant damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure, particularly in the southwest of the island and moderate damage in the northwest. The capital city, Kingston, and other urban areas in the east were less impacted.
The mobile network has proved resilient and traffic levels were quick to recover, now running back to pre-hurricane levels across the vast majority of the island. The fixed infrastructure impact was more localized: over 75% of residential customers are on-line, with the metro areas much closer to full recovery. Following our internal network review, we have removed a total of 133,000 homes in the southwest and northwest part of the island from our total homes passed. Additionally, we have reduced
II-4
our RGUs by approximately 136,000, comprised of 65,000 fixed-line telephony, 57,000 broadband internet and 14,000 video subscribers. These adjustments relate to RGUs where we currently do not expect to restore fixed services in the near term. However, our final assessment may change based upon the ultimate completion of our restoration and reconnection efforts in the impacted areas of the island.
As a result of the impact of Hurricane Melissa, we incurred lower revenue during the fourth quarter of 2025 and expect to incur lower revenue during 2026. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2025 is predominantly due to lower fixed connectivity and reflects the provision of rebates for homes and businesses, which are offline for a period of time. We are working hard to restore connectivity, but there can be no guarantee as to the cadence of future reconnections or the pace of future revenue recovery. In addition, during 2026, we expect to incur additional property and equipment additions as we restore damaged networks.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the negative impact to revenue and Adjusted OIBDA was approximately $20 million and $27 million, respectively, and we incurred incremental property and equipment additions of approximately $17 million as a result of Hurricane Melissa. Additionally, Hurricane Melissa triggered a payment pursuant to coverage under our Weather Derivatives that resulted in net proceeds after our deductible of $81 million during the year. The payment was reflected as a derivative gain in our consolidated statement of operations and a cash inflow related to operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
Strategy and Management Focus
From a strategic perspective, we are seeking to build or acquire broadband communications and mobile businesses that have strong prospects for future growth. As discussed further under Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capitalization below, we also seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns without assuming undue risk.
We strive to achieve “organic” revenue and customer growth in our operations by developing and marketing bundled entertainment, information and communications services, and extending and upgrading the quality of our networks where appropriate. As we use the term, organic growth excludes FX and the estimated impact of acquisitions and disposals. While we seek to increase our customer base, we also seek to maximize the average revenue we receive from each household or business by increasing the penetration of our video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile services with existing customers through product bundling and up-selling.
Results of Operations
The comparability of our operating results during 2025 and 2024 is affected by an acquisition and FX. As we use the term, “organic” changes exclude FX and the impact of an acquisition.
In the following discussion, we quantify the estimated impacts on the operating results of the periods under comparison that are attributable to the LPR Acquisition, which closed on September 3, 2024. With respect to acquisitions, organic changes exclude the operating results of an acquired entity during the first 12 months following the date of acquisition.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant impact on our operating results, as Liberty Costa Rica and certain entities within C&W have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The impacts to the various components of our results of operations that are attributable to changes in FX are highlighted below. For information concerning our foreign currency risks and applicable foreign currency exchange rates, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk below. For information regarding foreign currency risk, see Item 1A. Risk Factors above.
The amounts presented and discussed below represent 100% of the revenue and expenses of each segment and our corporate operations. As we have the ability to control certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of C&W and Liberty Puerto Rico, and (ii) Liberty Costa Rica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of operations.
We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to certain costs and foreign currency exchange risk with respect to costs and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of our reportable segments. Any cost increases that we are not able to pass on to our subscribers would result in increased pressure on our operating margins.

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA
On a consolidated basis, Adjusted OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a 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 our management for purposes of incentive compensation plans. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. We believe our Adjusted OIBDA measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net
