Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary

Integration of Millicom assets and expansion of new tower builds internationally, with 99–109 new towers constructed in the quarter, especially in Central America.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
