Q3'15 Earnings Overview

We experienced continued momentum in our 3G business and reported improving operational results which led to an improvement in Adjusted OIBDA loss compared to second quarter of 2015, despite the challenging macroeconomic environment.

Revenue increased in local currency but declined on a U.S. dollar basis as a result of weaker local currency exchange rates.

Adjusted OIBDA loss improved from the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to a reduction in operating expenses and non-recurring charges in the prior quarter related to bad debt expense and a reserve for an operational tax adjustment.

We ended the quarter with $448 million of cash and investments and $221 million of cash held in escrow from the sale of Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru. Assuming the return of cash held in escrow, we expect these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to fund our business plan for the next two years..

Our new management team in Brazil is implementing a new operating plan to allow Nextel Brazil to be a viable competitor and operate within our means.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These reconciliations include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. The statements regarding the business and economic outlook, future performance and forward-looking guidance, as well as other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are estimates and projections reflecting management's judgment based on currently available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. With respect to these forward-looking statements, management has made assumptions regarding, among other things, the Company’s ability to meet its business plans, customer growth and retention, pricing, network usage, operating costs, the timing of various events, the economic and regulatory environment and the foreign currency exchange rates that will prevail during 2015. Future performance cannot be assured and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include the risks and uncertainties relating to: the impact of liquidity constraints, the impact of more intense competitive conditions and changes in economic conditions in the markets we serve, the performance of the Company’s networks, the Company’s ability to provide

(3) Cost per gross add, or CPGA, is an industry term that is calculated by dividing our selling, marketing and handset and accessory subsidy costs, excluding costs unrelated to initial customer acquisition, by our new subscribers during the period, or gross adds. CPGA is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, may not be similar to CPGA measures of other companies and should be considered in addition, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations. We believe CPGA is a measure of the relative cost of customer acquisition. CPGA can be calculated and reconciled to our consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands, except CPGA):

(5) The following table shows the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain financial measures for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three- and combined nine-months ended September 30, 2015 by (i) adjusting the relevant measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to levels that would have resulted if the average foreigncurrency exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were the same as the average foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the three- and combined nine-months ended September 30, 2015; and (ii) comparing the actual and adjusted financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the similar financial measures for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2015 to show the percentage change in those measures before and after taking those adjustments intoaccount. The amounts reflected in the following table for operating income before depreciation and amortization on a consolidated basisand segment earnings for Nextel Brazil, before the adjustments for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, are based on the

(1) The "3Q 2014 Normalized" and "YTD 2014 Normalized" amounts reflect the impact of applying the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three- and combined nine-months ended September 30, 2015 to the operating revenues earned in foreign currencies and to the other components of each of the actual financial measures shown above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, other than certain components of those measures consisting of U.S. dollar-based operating expenses, which were not adjusted. The amounts included under the columns "3Q 2014 Adjustment" and "YTD 2014 Adjustment" reflect the amount determined by subtracting the "3Q 2014 Normalized" and "YTD 2014 Normalized" amounts calculated as described in the preceding sentence from the "3Q 2014 Actual" and "YTD 2014 Actual" amounts and reflect the impact of the year-over-year change in the average foreign currency exchange rates on each of the financial measures for the three- and combined nine-months g g j g g y g

The information reflected in the following table is not a measurementunder accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,the information contained in our statements of operations. We believe that these calculations provide useful information concerning our relative performance for the three- and combined nine-months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 by removing the impact of the significant difference in the average foreign currency exchange rates in effect forthose periods.
