Chief Executive Officer's Review
Marc Beuls, Chief Executive comments:  “In the first quarter Millicom continued
to deliver the high levels of growth seen in 2006. First quarter revenues
increased by 86%, from $303 million in Q1 2006 to $563 million in Q1 2007.
EBITDA rose by 74% to $248m and the group margin was 44%. 

“The strong subscriber intake continued with approximately 1.6 million
subscribers added in the first quarter taking total subscribers to 16.5 million.
Capex for the first quarter was $183 million and is in line with our stated
target of spending $800 million for the year, given that capex has traditionally
increased throughout the year. We have continued to invest in the networks in
all our regions, with capacity added in Central America to handle the additional
traffic from the move to per-second billing; with a step-up in the network
build-out in Colombia; with significant investments in additional coverage
throughout most African countries; and with the continued investment in Sri
Lanka. The progress made in expanding the networks in the Democratic Republic of
Congo and Sri Lanka enabled us to launch the “tigo” brand in these countries in
January.  Today DRC is our first market that is fully e-pin, and offers per
second billing as well. We are starting to see the benefits of this offering and
DRC had 194 thousand subscribers by the end of the first quarter which is
encouraging. 

“Central and South America continue to be the fastest growing regions being the
first to launch “tigo” and being leaders in offering e-pin. Per second billing
was launched in all three countries in Central America in late January,
following the success of per second billing in Paraguay in 2006, and the first
indications are encouraging.  Revenues compared to the fourth quarter, which is
typically a very strong quarter, were maintained in Central America.  This is an
encouraging sign for the rest of the year because traffic has increased roughly
25% in two months to compensate for the 25% effective tariff reduction as a
result of the introduction of per second billing.  This is similar to the price
elasticity that we witnessed in Paraguay throughout 2006. From Q1 2006 to Q1
2007, Central America saw revenues increase 59% and EBITDA rise by 73%, with a
55% EBITDA margin. 

“In South America, excluding Colombia which was acquired in Q4 2006, underlying
quarterly revenue growth was 70% and EBITDA growth was 98%. Revenue growth in
Paraguay was particularly strong at 83%, continuing the trend that started in
early 2006 following the introduction of per second billing.  Progress in
Colombia has been encouraging with subscribers starting to rise and the EBITDA
margin was higher than expected at 21%, up from 16% last quarter.  It is
expected that revenues will start to rise in Colombia in Q3 when the
distribution and the visibility of “tigo” will have improved. 

“In Africa, with revenues and EBITDA up by 55% and 30%, respectively, we are
already seeing the beneficial effect of the launch of “tigo” and we believe that
in the future our African businesses can achieve similar if not higher levels of
growth than those in Latin America. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we removed a
number of low revenue subscribers from the network in Tanzania which affected
net subscriber intake for the fourth quarter but in 2007 subscriber growth has
accelerated again. Encouragingly the EBITDA margin in Africa as a whole improved
slightly from 36% in Q4 2006 to 37% in Q1 2007, reversing the recent quarterly
downwards trend.

“In Asia, we introduced per-second billing in Cambodia in mid-January 2007. 
Revenues were surprisingly strong given the effective tariff reduction from the
change to per-second billing, and were up 15% versus the fourth quarter of 2006.
 In Sri Lanka we are starting to see positive results following the launch of
“tigo” in January.  Revenues were up 42% versus the first quarter of 2006
reflecting the investments that have been made on the network in 2006 and early
2007. Overall, Asia reported a 22% growth in revenues, an 11% growth in EBIDTA
and a margin of 41%. During the first quarter we completed the sale of Paktel
for an enterprise value of $460 million and we recorded a net gain on the sale
of the business of $258 million.

“The year started well for us and with per second billing, e-pin and increasing
capex fuelling growth in most of our markets, we expect 2007 to be another
record year.”
