Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) - Marketing Mix: Product

The product portfolio of Liberty Latin America Ltd. centers on integrated connectivity solutions spanning residential and enterprise segments across its operating regions.

Integrated Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) bundles are a primary strategic focus, driving subscriber growth. In the first quarter of 2025, Liberty Latin America added close to 60,000 organic broadband and postpaid mobile net subscriber additions across C&W Caribbean, C&W Panama, and Liberty Costa Rica, representing a greater than 50% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. By Q1 2025, FMC penetration across key markets exceeded 30%. The third quarter of 2025 saw the strongest quarterly mobile postpaid additions in three years, led by performance in Costa Rica. Overall, the company added just over 100,000 net organic fixed and mobile subscribers in the first half of 2025 across the C&W Caribbean, C&W Panama, and Liberty Costa Rica segments.

Core residential services are built around a converged offering:

• Mobile services, with postpaid additions being a key driver.
• Broadband internet, with a goal to target near 100% 1 Gbps fixed network delivery by 2025. As of the close of 2024, 97% of fixed networks were Gigabit-ready.
• Fixed-line telephony.
• Digital video services. In Q3 2025, Liberty Caribbean reported a 5% rebased increase in fixed residential revenue.

The Business-to-Business (B2B) segment provides essential digital infrastructure services. Liberty Latin America operates under the Liberty Networks brand for infrastructure and enterprise connectivity.

The underlying Infrastructure is extensive, forming the backbone of regional connectivity. Liberty Latin America operates a subsea and terrestrial fiber optic network connecting more than 30 markets. Specifically, Liberty Networks spans over 30 countries with nearly 50,000 kilometers of submarine fiber optic cable and 17,000 kilometers of terrestrial networks. A major infrastructure enhancement is the MAYA-1.2 subsea cable system upgrade, which is expected to be completed by the first half of 2026. This upgrade doubles the capacity of the existing MAYA-1 system, aiming for up to 4 Tbps in each direction on the short path, reducing latency to 19 milliseconds (from 21.4 ms). This evolution is supported by a USD 250 million multi-year investment plan in regional infrastructure.

New initiatives are driving product evolution, particularly in mobile technology and localized service customization.

• 5G Rollout in Costa Rica: Liberty Latin America launched the first 5G Standalone (SA) mobile network in Costa Rica in July 2025. This deployment covers over 1,400 sites and is designed to serve around 3.7 million users. Liberty Costa Rica secured spectrum blocks in the 700-MHz, 2300-MHz, 3500-MHz, and 26/28-GHz bands, paying USD 16.2 million for these blocks at the start of 2025.
• Liberty Mix Plan in Puerto Rico: This new mobile plan replaced the previous U-Pick structure, offering flexibility with three tiers: Mix Core, Mix More, and Mix Max. All tiers include unlimited voice, text, and data within Puerto Rico, the US, Canada, and Mexico, plus roaming in up to 31 countries.

Here's a quick look at the starting single-line pricing with the Autopay discount for the Liberty Mix plans in Puerto Rico as of July 2025:

Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) - Marketing Mix: Place

Liberty Latin America Ltd. conducts its distribution and service delivery across a wide geographic footprint.

• Operations span over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean.
• The company utilizes multiple consumer brands like Flow, Liberty, Más Móvil, and BTC.
• Key segments include C&W Caribbean, C&W Panama, Liberty Networks, Liberty Puerto Rico, and Liberty Costa Rico.
• Distribution relies on a mix of physical retail stores and extensive proprietary network infrastructure.
• A strategic plan is underway to separate Liberty Puerto Rico to defintely enhance shareholder value.

The proprietary network infrastructure is extensive, supporting the delivery of services such as digital video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony, and mobile services to residential and business customers. The company operates a subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable network that connects more than 30 markets in the region. As of late 2024, approximately 400,000 homes were passed or upgraded using Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), with 97% of the footprint Gigabit-ready.

The operational segments contribute to the overall business performance, with specific financial metrics available for Q3 2025:

The post-separation structure for the remaining entity is expected to focus on two credit silos: Cable & Wireless (comprising Liberty Caribbean, Liberty Networks & C&W Panama) and Liberty Costa Rica.

Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) - Marketing Mix: Promotion

Promotion activities for Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) are closely tied to driving specific subscriber behaviors and responding to operational events across its footprint.

Marketing is heavily focused on driving Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) penetration, which stood at >30% across key markets as of the first quarter of 2025, and remains a key part of the strategy through the third quarter of 2025. This focus is supported by strong commercial momentum, evidenced by postpaid additions in Q3 2025 being the highest in three years.

Recent residential campaigns include the launch of the Let Your Riddim Flow initiative in the Caribbean, supporting the push for higher FMC adoption.

B2B promotion is gaining momentum, though performance comparison is affected by prior-year project revenue. For instance, B2B revenue in Liberty Puerto Rico declined by 30% year-over-year in Q2 2025, reflecting an exceptionally strong project revenue performance in the prior-year period. However, by Q3 2025, C&W Panama saw its B2B revenue increase by 14% rebased, largely due to higher revenue from large enterprise and government projects.

The company uses the new customer value proposition, Liberty Mix, introduced in July 2025, to support Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) in Puerto Rico, where the business is stabilizing despite a reported Q3 2025 rebased revenue decline of 5%.

Emergency connectivity was promoted via a Starlink direct-to-cell collaboration after Hurricane Melissa, which provided customers of FLOW Jamaica with essential services including data, SMS, and text communications when local infrastructure was unavailable. This was highlighted as the first such collaboration of its kind in the Caribbean.

Key promotional and commercial performance indicators for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, include:

The promotional strategy supports broader commercial objectives:

• Driving FMC penetration higher across core markets.
• Supporting the stabilization and ARPU in Liberty Puerto Rico with the Liberty Mix proposition.
• Highlighting network resilience and emergency response, such as the Starlink direct-to-cell service deployment.
• Focusing on B2B contract wins with enterprise and government entities.

Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) - Marketing Mix: Price

Pricing strategy at Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) involves selective adjustments designed to enhance Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). For instance, in the second quarter of 2025, mobile residential revenue growth was driven by higher prepaid ARPU following price increases implemented earlier in the year and in the first half of the prior year. This demonstrates a direct link between pricing action and revenue uplift in key prepaid segments.

Specifically addressing the Caribbean market, the performance in Q2 2025 mobile residential revenue was mainly driven by higher prepaid ARPU following price increases, primarily in Jamaica. This tactical pricing move supported a 5% reported and 6% rebased year-over-year increase in mobile residential revenue within Liberty Caribbean during that period.

The benefit of pricing changes is also reflected in fixed services year-over-year performance. In Liberty Caribbean for Q3 2025, fixed residential revenue increased by 5% on a rebased basis, which management attributed to these selected price increases over the preceding year.

To maintain competitiveness in specific markets, Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) employs nuanced pricing tactics. In Puerto Rico during Q2 2024, residential fixed revenue saw lower ARPU primarily due to retention discounts related to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) retention activities. Separately, a slide from a November 2025 Liberty Global presentation indicated that Fixed ARPU decline was driven by the impact of retention discounts, suggesting this tool is actively used to manage customer retention, which can result in lower ARPU for those specific customer groups.

These pricing and volume strategies collectively supported the top-line performance. Liberty Latin America Ltd. (LILAK) reported consolidated revenues of USD 1.11 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 (Q3 2025). Furthermore, the annualized revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, stood at $4.4 BILLION.
