The LiLAC Group reported $2.72 billion in revenue in the last year, for an annual growth rate of 1.2 percent. Of that total revenue, it’s important to highlight that Cable & Wireless Communications contributed $1.44 billion in 2016. When we examine the performance of other entities in the LiLAC group, we see that the company’s Chilean operation (VTR) reported revenue of $859.5 million while that of Puerto Rico reported $420.8 million.

Liberty Global is aware of the structural changes that each of the group’s entities has experienced, stating that in 2017 the focus will be on further improving results…

On this occasion, C&W’s CEO John Reid wishes to bring us up-to-date on three key areas that will impact the company as we begin the new year: Our long-range plan, the execution of that plan and our new operating model.
