(a)Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at December 31, 2025 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin. The interest rates presented generally represent stated rates and do not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing.
(b)Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at December 31, 2025 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At December 31, 2025, the full amount of unused borrowing capacity was available to be borrowed under each of the respective subsidiary facilities, both before and after completion of the December 31, 2025 compliance reporting requirements. At December 31, 2025, except as may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests, foreign currency exchange restrictions with respect to certain C&W subsidiaries and other factors, there were no restrictions on the respective subsidiary’s ability to upstream cash from this availability to Liberty Latin America or its subsidiaries or other equity holders.
(c)The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are determined using the applicable bid prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) or from quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets adjusted for the estimated credit spreads of the applicable entity, to the extent available, and other relevant factors (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). For additional information regarding fair value hierarchies, see note 4.
(d)Includes other facilities that are generally repaid in three annual installments.
(e)The C&W Credit Facilities unused borrowing capacity comprises certain U.S. dollar, Trinidad & Tobago dollar and JMD revolving credit facilities.
(f)Includes Tower Transactions associated with certain of our mobile towers across various markets. The Tower Transactions did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale and leaseback. The proceeds from the Tower Transactions are recorded as a financial liability and the associated tower assets remain on our consolidated balance sheets. During 2025 and 2024, we received proceeds of $3 million and $9 million, respectively, related to the Tower Transactions, which are included in borrowings of debt in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
(g)Includes amounts owed pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are used to finance certain of our operating expenses and property and equipment additions. These obligations are generally due within one year, other
than for certain licensing arrangements that are generally due over the term of the related license, and include VAT that was paid on our behalf by the vendor. Changes in our vendor financing obligations are set forth below:
