CEO Balan Nair commented: ‘We had a good start to the year, delivering solid subscriber growth in the first quarter and remain on track to achieve our 2023 financial guidance targets. We added internet and mobile post-paid subscribers across all of our reporting segments in Q1 … Inorganically, 2023 is a key year as we work to complete our integrations in Puerto Rico, Panama and Costa Rica, which will deliver significant value for our stakeholders. We have started to migrate pre-paid mobile customers onto our own platform in Puerto Rico and are taking swift action to drive synergies in Panama following the removal of integration-related restrictions in January.’
