- Blended wireless ARPU increased 5%, led by a higher mix of postpaid customers in the overall base coupled
with a 4% increase in postpaid wireless ARPU compared to a year earlier.
- Strong service revenue growth of 5%, driven by postpaid subscriber growth of 7% over the same period last
year.
- Return to mobile revenue growth in Bolivia. Mobile subscriber revenue, which includes both prepaid and
postpaid revenues, increased 2% year-over-year driven by continued strong LTE adoption.
- Loss from continuing operations improved by 25%, or $3.6 million to ($10.8) million over the second quarter
2016.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew 11% over the prior year; Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 26% in the second quarter
of 2017, from 24% in the second quarter of 2016.
- LTE sites on air increased by 31% over the second quarter of 2016. 70% of our consolidated operations have
their network overlaid with LTE.
- Completed refinancing of Trilogy International Partners LLC $450 million notes in May with the issuance of
$350 million notes at 8.875%, reducing corporate interest expense by approximately 50%
BELLEVUE, Wash., Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trilogy International Partners Inc. (“TIP Inc.”) (TSX:TRL),
an international wireless, fixed, and broadband telecommunications operator, today announced its unaudited financial and operating
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
“The second quarter marked another period of solid year-over-year revenue and EBITDA growth as we position our
businesses for the future. On a consolidated basis, we continue to shift our customer mix towards postpaid – a 7% expansion of our
postpaid base drove a 13% increase in postpaid revenues year-over-year – and growth in LTE adoption, resulting in a 5% increase in
ARPU over last year. This was our fifth consecutive quarter of consolidated year-over-year ARPU growth as we benefit from favorable
secular trends,” said Brad Horwitz, President and CEO of Trilogy International Partners.
“We also continue to make significant strides in expanding LTE across our networks as we ended the quarter with
31% more LTE sites versus a year ago. In New Zealand, we continued to ramp postpaid subscriber acquisitions during the second
quarter and regained our momentum in June. In Bolivia, our focus on driving revenue through our base continues to be strong, and
mobile revenues reached an inflection point as data revenues outpaced continued declines in voice revenues.”

Strategic Highlights
Refinancing of Trilogy Senior Notes
TIP Inc. announced on May 2, 2017 that its subsidiaries, Trilogy International Partners LLC (“Trilogy LLC”) and
Trilogy International Finance Inc., in accordance with TIP Inc.’s announcement dated April 21, 2017, completed their
144A/Regulation S offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “New Notes”). The New Notes bear
interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum, were issued at 99.506% of their face amount and mature in 2022. Trilogy LLC applied the net
proceeds of the offering together with cash on hand to redeem and discharge all of Trilogy LLC’s then-outstanding 13.375% senior
secured notes due May 2019 and pay fees and expenses related to the offering.
Recent Developments
On July 24, 2017 the Company filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the British Columbia
Securities Commission (“BCSC”) and a related shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
for an aggregate of $350 million of the TIP Inc.’s Common Shares, warrants, units, subscription receipts and share purchase
contracts. On August 2, 2017, the final base shelf prospectus and registration statement were filed and became effective shortly
thereafter. This shelf prospectus is intended to give the Company the flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities when
market conditions are favorable, but also was filed toward satisfying TIP Inc.’s obligation to provide resale registration rights
for the Common Shares which may be issued upon redemptions of Trilogy LLC Class C Units.
On August 7, 2017, the initial lock-up period expired for 22,004,964 Trilogy LLC Class C-3 Units, inclusive of C
Units issued as dividends during the quarter, giving each holder of these Units the right to require Trilogy LLC to repurchase any
or all of such Units for either a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Trilogy LLC Class C Units to be redeemed, or a
cash amount equal to the twenty day trailing weighted average trading price of such Common Shares at such time. The form of
consideration is at the Company’s discretion and TIP Inc. has advised such holders that through September 30, 2017 such
consideration will be Common Shares. The lock-up period also expired for 7,605,315 Common Shares on August 7,
2017.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as
Adjusted EBITDA divided by Service Revenues. |
(2)Represents purchases of property and
equipment excluding capital expenditures acquired through vendor-backed financing and capital lease arrangements. |
(3)Includes deactivations of 3.0 thousand
relating to Q1 2017 due to the IT system conversion. On an adjusted basis, Q1 2017 net additions would have been 1.6 thousand
and Q2 2017 would have been 5.7 thousand. Similarly, Q1 2017 postpaid churn would have been 1.4% and Q2 2017 would have been
1.6%. |
|
Revenues
The 9% increase in total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016
was a result of
- Strong growth in wireless service revenues driven by a 12% increase in postpaid subscribers;
- Robust wireline subscriber growth with the base increasing by 24.7 thousand, or 62%; and
- Blended wireless ARPU increasing 4% versus a year ago, driven by a higher mix of postpaid subscribers in the base.
Adjusted EBITDA
The 12% increase in second quarter Adjusted EBITDA compared to the second quarter of 2016 was a result of
continued growth in wireless and wireline revenues, partially offset by
- Cost of service increasing by $2.7 million, primarily due to an increase in transmission expense associated with the growth
of the broadband business (mitigated by a decline in national roaming expense due to expanded network coverage); and
- General and administrative expenses increasing by $2.5 million, primarily due to an increase in customer care costs
attributable to the launch of a new business support system in the first quarter, software and IT services expense attributable
to growth of the business and bad debt expense associated with the growth of the postpaid subscriber base.
Capital Expenditures
The $3.5 million, or 25%, decrease in second quarter capital expenditures compared to the second quarter of 2016
was a result of timing as well as the national network expansion project and the development of a new business support system which
occurred primarily in 2016.
Our results in New Zealand were also affected by the strengthening of the New Zealand Dollar as compared to the
U.S. Dollar.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as
Adjusted EBITDA divided by Service Revenues. |
(2)Represents purchases of property and
equipment excluding capital expenditures acquired through vendor-backed financing and capital lease arrangements. |
(3)Includes public telephony and other
wireless subscribers. |
|
Revenues
Core mobile subscriber revenues for the second quarter, which include prepaid and postpaid revenues, increased
by 2% year over year. This growth was offset by declines in public telephony and roaming revenues. The growth in the core mobile
subscriber revenues was driven by
- Data revenues, excluding SMS, increasing by $7.2 million or 30%, offset by voice and SMS revenues declining by $6.2 million,
or 17%, in the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2016 as voice consumption declines continue to follow global trends.
Data revenues now represent 48% of total wireless service revenues, up from 37% during the same quarter last year.
- Data consumption growth driven by strong LTE adoption of 56.7 thousand additional users added during the quarter. LTE
subscribers represented 16% of the customer base at the end of the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA
The 13% increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily
due to
- Cost of service expense decreasing $2.3 million, or 9%, as interconnect costs declined due to lower voice usage; and
- Sales and Marketing expense decreasing by $1.3 million, or 12%, due primarily to the timing of advertising and sponsorship
spending.
Capital Expenditures
The $9.7 million, or 58%, decrease in second quarter capital expenditures compared to the second quarter of 2016
was a result of the timing of new LTE overlay and network expansion projects. These projects commenced during the second quarter
with payments expected to be made during the third and fourth quarters.

Interest expense
Interest expense increased $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in
2016, primarily driven by the interest being due on both the $450 million Trilogy Notes due in 2019 and the $350 million Trilogy
Notes due in 2022 (which refinanced the 2019 Notes) for 30 days due to the required redemption notice period in connection with the
refinancing.

Operating activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities declined by $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017
compared to the same period in 2016. This change is mainly due to an increase in interest payments as compared to 2016 and an
increase in inventory in 2017 as compared to a decline in 2016. There was also an $8.1 million decline in cash proceeds from the
sales of EIP receivables.
Investing activities
Cash flow used in investing activities increased by $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017
compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due the purchase of short-term investments. This change was partially offset
by a lower amount of capital expenditure spending in Bolivia and New Zealand as network expansion and LTE buildout expenditures
were more significant during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Financing activities
Cash flow used in financing activities increased by $98.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017
compared to the same period in 2016. This change is primarily due to the refinancing of the Trilogy LLC 2019 Notes and the related
costs incurred.
Financial Guidance
The following table presents the company’s updated full-year 2017 guidance and reflects the company’s second
quarter results and current outlook for the remainder of the year. For our New Zealand business, our updated guidance
reflects the full year impacts of the IT system conversion which impacted subscriber acquisition and margins in the first half of
2017. For our Bolivian business, competitive activity in the first half of 2017 has impacted service revenue growth; however,
strong LTE adoption and data revenue growth have had a favorable impact on margins.

Consolidated Capital expenditures are expected to be in line with original guidance of $110 million for the full
year.
The above information represents guidance for selected full-year 2017 consolidated financial metrics. The
purpose of the financial outlook is to assist investors, shareholders, and others in understanding certain financial metrics
relating to expected 2017 financial results for evaluating the performance of our business. This information may not be appropriate
for other purposes. Information about our guidance, including the various assumptions underlying it, is forward-looking and should
be read in conjunction with "About Forward-Looking Information" below and the related disclosure and information about various
economic, competitive, and regulatory assumptions, factors, and risks that may cause our actual future financial and operating
results to differ from what we currently expect.
Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Measures; Basis of Presentation
In managing our business and assessing our financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the
financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP with several customer-focused performance metrics and non-GAAP financial
measures which are utilized by our management to evaluate our performance. Although we believe these measures are widely used
in the wireless industry, some may not be defined by us in precisely the same way as by other companies in the wireless industry,
so may not be reliable ways to compare us to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA represents loss from continuing operations excluding
amounts for: income tax expense; interest expense; depreciation, amortization and accretion; equity-based compensation; gain (loss)
on impairment and disposal of assets; and all other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as
Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are common measures of operating
performance in the telecommunications industry. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful measures because
they allow us to evaluate our performance by removing from our operating results items that do not relate to our core operating
performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same.

initial compliance and preparation expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement and becoming a publically traded entity
along with other nonrecurring costs. |
(2)In July 2013, Trilogy LLC sold to
Salamanca Holding Company, a Delaware limited liability company, 80% of its interest in its wholly owned subsidiary Salamanca
Solutions International LLC (“SSI”). Although Trilogy LLC holds a 20% equity interest in SSI, due to the fact that NuevaTel is
SSI’s primary customer, Trilogy LLC is considered SSI’s primary beneficiary, and as such, the Company consolidates 100% of
SSI’s net losses. The impact on the Company's consolidated results of the 80% Trilogy LLC does not own was to decrease Adjusted
EBITDA by $0.3 million and $(0.03) million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and decrease to
Adjusted EBITDA by $0.1 million and increase Adjusted EBITDA by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. |

Other Information
Consolidated financial results – quarterly summary
TIP Inc.’s operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter because of changes in general economic
conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of TIP Inc.’s operations and business segments. Different
products and subscribers have unique seasonal and behavioral features. Accordingly, one quarter’s results are not predictive of
future performance.
Fluctuations in net income from quarter to quarter can also result from losses on the repayment of debt, foreign
exchange gains or losses, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, other income and expenses, impairment of assets, and
changes in income taxes.
The following table shows selected quarterly financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

About Forward-Looking Information
Forward-looking information and statements
This presentation contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws in
Canada and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 of the United
States of America. Forward-looking information and forward–looking statements may relate to our future outlook and
anticipated events or results and may include information regarding our financial position, business strategy, growth strategies,
budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. In some cases, forward-looking information
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “estimates”, “plans”, “targets”, “expects” or “does not
expect”, “an opportunity exists”, “outlook”, “prospects”, “strategy”, “intends”, “believes”, or variations of such words and
phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, “will be taken”, “occur” or
“be achieved”. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, estimates, projections or other
characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information and statements.
Forward-looking information and statements are provided for the purpose of assisting readers in understanding
management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that such information and statements may
not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking information and statements contained in this presentation are based on our
opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected
future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. These
opinions, estimates and assumptions include but are not limited to: general economic and industry growth rates; currency exchange
rates and interest rates; product pricing levels and competitive intensity; income tax; subscriber growth; pricing, usage, and
churn rates; changes in government regulation; technology deployment; availability of devices; timing of new product launches;
content and equipment costs; vendor and supplier performance; the integration of acquisitions; industry structure and stability;
data based on good faith estimates that are derived from management’s knowledge of the industry and other independent sources.
Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information and statements, there can be no assurance that the
underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct.
Numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which may be unknown, relating to TIP Inc.’s business could cause
actual events and results to differ materially from the estimates, beliefs and assumptions expressed or implied in the
forward-looking information and statements. Among such risks and uncertainties, are those that relate to: TIP Inc.’s history of
losses; TIP Inc. and Trilogy LLC’s status as holding companies; TIP Inc.’s significant level of indebtedness and the refinancing,
default and other risks, as well as limits, restrictive covenants and restrictions resulting therefrom; TIP Inc.’s ability to incur
additional debt despite its indebtedness level; TIP Inc.’s ability to refinance its indebtedness; the risk that TIP Inc.’s or
Trilogy LLC’s credit ratings could be downgraded; TIP Inc. having insufficient financial resources to achieve its objectives; risks
associated with any potential acquisition, investment or merger; the significant political, social, economic and legal risks of
operating in Bolivia; TIP Inc.’s operations being in markets with substantial tax risks and inadequate protection of shareholder
rights; the need for spectrum access; the regulated nature of the industry in which TIP Inc. participates; the use of “conflict
minerals” and the effect thereof on manufacturing of certain products, including handsets; anti-corruption compliance; intense
competition; lack of control over network termination, roaming and international long distance revenues; rapid technological change
and associated costs; reliance on equipment suppliers; subscriber “churn” risks, including those associated with prepaid accounts;
the need to maintain distributor relationships; TIP Inc.’s future growth being dependent on innovation and development of new
products; security threats and other material disruptions to TIP Inc.’s wireless networks; the ability of TIP Inc. to protect
