President’s Statement

Transformation and growth as UNE makes a strong start

Stockholm, 22 October 2014

“It has been a momentous quarter with the completion of the merger with UNE in
August. Our partnership with UNE has made a very solid contribution recording
revenue slightly ahead of our own expectation and EBITDA at a 28% margin. It is
very early days and the team are focussed on the considerable task of
integration but together with the Tigo mobile business, which maintained its
momentum in Q3, we see an exciting future opportunity.

Across the Tigo business we continued to see the benefits of the work we have
undertaken over the last two years, which we highlighted at our Capital Markets
Day in Miami at the end of last month.  Organic revenue growth at 8.6%,
excluding UNE, was a good achievement. Revenue maintained momentum not just in
Colombia, but also in Bolivia, Guatemala and across the African businesses which
achieved 12% organic service revenue growth in the quarter. It keeps us firmly
on track for our $9bn revenue target in 2017.

We also had a good quarter in the Cable & Digital Media business. Tigo Star has
extended its services with five of seven markets in Latin America now offering
satellite payTV - making it available to tens of millions of people in rural
areas and complementing our cable services. At the end of September, we had
45,000 customers on this service and our monthly take-up rate is accelerating.
This is an impressive adoption rate and is very encouraging for the future
development of this product.

We are continuing the transformation of the company elsewhere with the promotion
and take-up of mobile data services with Smartapps in Latin America and Tigo
Music in Africa both launching this month. Data users have risen 13% over the
last three months and now comprise 25% of our mobile customer base.

Innovation in mobile money has gathered pace with the launch this quarter in
Tanzania of the world’s first service offering a direct return on balances as
well as the start of Africa’s first interoperable MFS. Overall, MFS has grown
organically by 45%.

We have intensified action on efficiencies right across the company. We continue
the rigorous country-by-country, function-by-function programme which has
already identified important savings in one of our key markets.

At our recent Capital Markets Day, we affirmed our target of long term EBITDA
margin of around 35% but, more importantly, operating cash flow margin of 20%.
The success of our business in driving forward profitable revenue growth will be
a key factor in achieving these goals and the results so far give me confidence
in our capacity to deliver.”

Hans-Holger Albrecht
President and CEO,
Millicom
