  · Mobile: our mobile data business continued to display strong growth fuelled
by an expanding range of attractively priced handsets.  We saw good growth in
mobile data users improving penetration within our base to 22.7%. Usage
continues to grow driven by music, entertainment and in Q2 the success of our
FIFA World Cup mobile app.

extended the Pay-TV offering with direct to home (DTH) services in 5 new
markets, including Guatemala, massively extending bundling opportunities.

strong take-up in Honduras and El Salvador taking the base to over 7.4 million
and a penetration of 18.1% (excluding Senegal recently launched). Revenue and
volume of usage continue to grow strongly at +41% and +37% respectively.
  · Cost & Capex Optimisation: we have commenced an efficiency and optimization
programme in Guatemala that will now be extended to other countries.

President’s Statement

Stockholm, 16 July 2014

“Millicom’s strategy to drive revenue growth continues to gather pace. We saw an
acceleration of the strong revenue growth achieved in Q1 taking our organic
revenue growth in Q2 to 9% - this highlights once again the great potential in
our markets and growth opportunities from investing in them.

In Q2, I was particularly pleased to see that our African business grew strongly
– up 14.6% year-on-year. We are taking market share in Africa and I expect that
to continue.

Mobile data consumption has progressed with data take-up accelerating helped by
new services such as our exclusive mobile rights to the FIFA World Cup in Latin
America and free Facebook in Tanzania. Tigo Music is now established as the
leading digital music provider in Colombia.

Colombia maintained its very strong momentum in Q2. We have seen very good
levels of customer additions in the last few months ahead of regulatory changes
which may slow the growth of postpaid customer in the next few months. Progress
has also been made on our merger with UNE although this is slower than we might
have hoped. The merger has achieved the significant milestones of approval to
the proposed transaction from two of the three key Authorities, the SIC and
ANTV(1), and, whilst there are few remaining approvals we are well advanced with
our planning for the merger of Tigo and UNE to create a major force in the
Colombian telecommunications market.

We launched our first satellite Pay-TV service in Bolivia in April and this is
now available in most of our markets in Latin America. These will allow us to
extend the availability of bundled digital services to even more customers
wherever they live. The 18% growth in residential cable is an encouraging sign
for the new Tigo Star brand there.

Mobile financial services also took a further stride forward with 41% growth and
Africa’s first ever interoperability agreement between rival operators in
Tanzania which will be a catalyst for millions more people to join the online
financial community.

In summary we are at an exciting point in our development. There are tangible
signs that our strategy is paying off. The pace of change is rapid as we
continue create opportunities to deliver a Digital Lifestyle for our customers.
This has required investment which has seen our EBITDA margin decline further,
but we understand the challenges of managing growth profitably. In striving to
deliver our return on capital targets we will continue to focus as much on the
costs as we do on revenue.”
