RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2007--Sprint Nextel Corp. (NYSE: S) today reported third quarter 2007 financial results. Consolidated net operating revenues in the quarter were $10 billion compared to $10.5 billion in the year-ago third quarter. Net income in the quarter was $64 million or 2 cents diluted earnings per share, which compares to $279 million or 9 cents diluted earnings per share (EPS) in the year-ago period. Adjusted EPS before Amortization*, which removes the effects of special items and merger-related amortization costs, was 23 cents in the quarter compared to 32 cents in this quarter of 2006. The decline in earnings is due to a lower contribution from Wireless, partially offset by an improved contribution from Wireline.

The company reported a net decline of 60,000 total wireless subscribers in the third quarter. Overall subscriber results include growth from CDMA post-paid, Boost Unlimited, wholesale and affiliate channels. These gains were offset by declines from iDEN post-paid and traditional Boost pre-paid product lines. In the quarter, post-paid churn was 2.3% on seasonally higher involuntary deactivations and competitive market conditions. The Wireless post-paid ARPU* of a little more than $59 in the quarter continues to be supported by data growth, offset by lower voice contributions.

"Our third quarter results reflect mixed performance as we address competitive market conditions and manage through credit market impacts on a portion of our customer base," said Paul Saleh, acting CEO and chief financial officer of Sprint Nextel. "In the quarter, our Sprint Ahead marketing campaign gained traction, we improved our device portfolio, and we continued to achieve best-ever network performance. Going forward, our clear mandate is to improve the customer experience at every touchpoint and simplify our business. We also plan to focus more resources on customer retention," Saleh said.

The following is a discussion of consolidated results:

• The decline in revenues is due to a lower Wireless contribution.
• Adjusted operating income* benefited from lower amortization expense and reduced variable compensation.
• Special items in the quarter diluted reported GAAP earnings by 5 cents per share. These items included pre-tax charges of $135 million for merger and integration costs and $125 million for severance, exit costs and asset impairment. Special item details are discussed in the Notes to Financial Data.
• Capital expenditures were lower in the quarter, due to a draw down of inventory and project timing. Capital expenditures are expected to be higher in the fourth quarter, but full-year capital is expected to be below prior guidance.
• Consolidated results include operating expenses of approximately $31 million and capital investments of $73 million related to the company's WiMAX initiative.
• In the quarter, the company purchased approximately 21 million shares of its common stock in the open market for a total investment of $432 million. Purchases in the quarter were predominately in July and August, and the company has since taken a conservative approach, reflecting recent capital market and macroeconomic conditions. The company has purchased a cumulative total of 185 million shares of its common stock for $3.5 billion under a $6 billion authorization that is set to expire in the first quarter of 2008.
• The effective income tax rate in the quarter was 34%, compared to 31.8% in the third quarter of 2006.
• Net debt* at the end of the quarter was $19.9 billion.
• Interest expense, net of interest income, was $301 million, compared to $307 million in the year-ago period.
• Non-cash compensation expense was $66 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $75 million in the third quarter of 2006.

The following is a discussion of Wireless results:

Subscribers

• Wireless ended the period with nearly 54 million total subscribers, compared to 51.9 million subscribers at the end of the third quarter of 2006. The growth is due to gains in pre-paid and wholesale offset by a decline in post-paid.
• At the end of the period, Sprint Nextel was serving approximately 34.1 million customers on CDMA, 18.7 million on iDEN, and 1.2 million PowerSource users who access both network platforms.
• As a result of the acquisition of Northern PCS, 170,000 post-paid subscribers were transferred from affiliates to the direct post-paid subscriber base. This transaction did not impact post-paid net adds or churn in the quarter.
• Beginning in the third quarter, the company adopted a gross addition and deactivation methodology which reduced reported churn by 10 basis points and reduced reported gross additions by a corresponding amount. The change had no effect on reported net additions, revenues or profits and is not reflected in prior period results.
• Excluding the impact of acquisitions, direct net post- paid subscribers declined by 337,000 in the quarter. Growth in CDMA and PowerSource users was offset by a net loss in iDEN subscribers. Approximately 40% of the net subscriber loss in the quarter occurred within the former Nextel Partners territories.
• Compared to the second quarter, the loss of net post-paid subscribers reflects higher customer churn, partially offset by an increase in gross additions in both the consumer and business channels.
• Pre-paid net additions for the quarter were 67,000 due to growth of 124,000 Boost Unlimited subscribers and a loss of 57,000 traditional pre-paid subscribers. Beginning in the fourth quarter, Boost Unlimited services are being expanded to an area covering approximately 50 million people, bringing coverage to more than 100 million people.
• Wholesale channels added 194,000 subscribers in the quarter, bringing the base to nearly 7.2 million.

• he quarter, the company added extensively to its portfolio of devices and services. These additions included the MOTORAZR2 V9m by Motorola(TM), the Muziq(TM) by LG(R), the Mogul(TM) by HTC, and the KATANA(R) II and Katana(R) DLX by Sanyo(R). In the fourth quarter, the device lineup is expanding further to include the HTC Touch(TM), the Rumor(TM) by LG(R), the Power Source ic602 from Motorola, the Centro(TM) by Palm(R), the SCP-2500 by Sanyo(R), the BlackBerry(R)Pearl 8130 and two new USB connection cards.

Churn

• Post-paid churn for the quarter was 2.3% compared to 2.0% in the second quarter and 2.4% in the year-ago period. In the third quarter, the sequential increase in overall churn was driven equally by higher voluntary and involuntary deactivations, primarily on the CDMA platform. The CDMA post-paid churn rate remained below iDEN churn in the quarter.
• Boost pre-paid churn was 6.2% for the quarter, compared to 6.8% in both the second quarter of 2007 and in the year-ago third quarter.

Revenues/ARPU

• Net operating revenues declined 1% sequentially and 4% compared to the year-ago period. Service revenue declines reflect lower average customer revenues and a lower post-paid base, partially offset by increases in the pre-paid and wholesale subscriber base. Equipment revenues declined 21% compared to the year-ago period due to lower pricing. Equipment revenues increased 8% sequentially due to increased pricing and volumes.
• Post-paid ARPU of a little more than $59 in the quarter declined 3% year-over-year and a little under 2% sequentially. The company reported modest annual growth in CDMA ARPU that was offset by a decline in iDEN. Sequentially, ARPU declined on both platforms, mainly due to lower average pricing plans. In the quarter, post-paid ARPU for CDMA and iDEN subscribers were substantially similar.
• Data contributed more than $10 to overall post-paid ARPU in the third quarter and contributed more than $13 to CDMA post-paid ARPU.
• Pre-paid ARPU was slightly more than $30 for the quarter, partially aided by non-recurring items. This compares to a little less than $31 in the second quarter and a little less than $33 in the third quarter of 2006. Competition and general economic factors are expected to continue to impact pre-paid usage and ARPU.

Operating Expenses

• Total operating expenses of $8.4 billion were flat with the year-ago period and 1% below the second quarter levels. Compared to the year-ago period, increases in cost of services, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and severance and asset impairment expenses were offset by lower amortization and depreciation expense. Sequentially, lower amortization and costs of products were offset by increased costs of services and depreciation expense.
• In the quarter, costs of services increased 4% annually and 1% sequentially. The increases are primarily due to growth in network sites and increased data usage offset by lower variable compensation. The company's data services, which ride on the nation's largest and fastest mobile broadband network, are now available to a population of nearly 215 million people.
• Costs of products improved 3 percent compared to the year-ago period and 5 percent sequentially, due to cost reductions on handsets and fewer Boost iDEN shipments.
• SG&A expense increased 5% compared to the year-ago period due to increased marketing costs, higher bad debt and customer care expense, offset by lower IT costs. Sequentially, the higher bad debt and customer care costs were offset by lower advertising and variable compensation costs.

Capital Spending

In the quarter, Wireless capital spending of $813 million was mainly targeted at capacity and footprint and extending the reach of EV-DO Rev. A capability. Wireless capital spending is expected to increase significantly in the fourth quarter.

The following is a discussion of Wireline results.

• For the quarter, total revenues declined 1% annually and sequentially.
• Internet Protocol (IP) revenues increased 43% annually and 10% sequentially. The growth is due to strong demand from cable partners and corporate users.
• Voice revenues declined 8% compared to the year-ago period and 5% compared to the second quarter of 2007. Declines in consumer and business markets were partially offset by growth in demand from the Wireless segment.
• Legacy data services declined 14% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. The decline is mainly driven by lower Frame Relay services as we encourage customers to transition to IP services.
• At the end of the period, the company was providing telephony services to 2.6 million cable VOIP customers. This is double the level supported at the end of the third quarter of 2006.
• In the quarter, operating expenses declined 6% compared to the year-ago period and 3% sequentially due to lower costs of services and reduced variable compensation.
• Capital expenditures in the quarter of $138 million were mainly due to growth in IP services and to meet wireless transport demand.

Forward-Looking Guidance

Sprint Nextel continues to expect full-year consolidated revenues to be slightly below $41 billion and Adjusted OIBDA* to be slightly below $11 billion. The company expects net customer additions to continue to be pressured in the fourth quarter. Full-year 2007 capital investments are now expected to be in the mid $6 billion range compared to prior expectations of approximately $7.2 billion. The company also noted that it is removing its previous double-digit growth guidance for 2008 OIBDA, and that it expects to comment on the 2008 outlook early next year.

*FINANCIAL MEASURES

Sprint Nextel provides financial measures generated using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and using adjustments to GAAP (non-GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures reflect industry conventions, or standard measures of liquidity, profitability or performance commonly used by the investment community for comparability purposes. These non-GAAP measures are not measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have defined below each of the non-GAAP measures we use, but these measures may not be synonymous to similar measurement terms used by other companies.

Sprint Nextel provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in its financial reporting. Because Sprint Nextel does not predict special items that might occur in the future, and our forecasts are developed at a level of detail different than that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures, Sprint Nextel does not provide reconciliations to GAAP of its forward-looking financial measures.

The measures used in this release include the following:

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share (EPS) is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations, before special items, net of tax and the diluted EPS calculated thereon. Adjusted EPS before Amortization is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before special items and amortization, net of tax, and the diluted EPS calculated thereon. These non-GAAP measures should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of operations. We believe that these measures are useful because they allow investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding items that relate to acquired amortizable intangible assets and not to the ongoing operations of our businesses.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before special items, net of tax. Adjusted Net Income before Amortization is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before special items and amortization, net of tax. These non-GAAP measures should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of operations. We believe that these measures are useful because they allow investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding items that do not relate to the ongoing operations of our businesses.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is defined as operating income (loss) before special items. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of operations. We believe this measure is useful because it allows investors to evaluate our operating results for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding special items.

Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization, severance, exit costs and asset impairments, and special items. Adjusted OIBDA Margin represents Adjusted OIBDA divided by non-equipment net operating revenues for Wireless and Adjusted OIBDA divided by net operating revenues for Long Distance. These non-GAAP measures should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of operations. We believe that Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, spectrum acquisitions and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin are calculations commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within the telecommunications industry.

Free Cash Flow is defined as the change in cash and cash equivalents less the change in debt, investment in certain securities, proceeds from common stock and other financing activities, net, from continuing operations. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of cash flows. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management about the cash generated by our core operations after interest and dividends and our ability to fund scheduled debt maturities and other financing activities, including discretionary refinancing and retirement of debt and purchase or sale of investments.

Net Debt is consolidated debt, including current maturities, less cash and cash equivalents, current marketable securities and restricted cash. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the balance sheet and statement of cash flows. We believe that Net Debt provides useful information to investors, analysts and credit rating agencies about the capacity of the company to reduce the debt load and improve its capital structure.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL DATA (Unaudited)

(1)Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
    current period presentation.

(2)In the third quarter and for the nine months ended September 30,
    2007, we recorded merger and integration costs of $135 million
    pre-tax ($84 million, net of tax) and $397 million pre-tax ($244
    million, net of tax), respectively. In the third quarter and for
    the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded merger and
    integration costs of $107 million pre-tax ($66 million, net of
    tax) and $296 million pre-tax ($181 million, net of tax),
    respectively.

   All merger costs were related to the Sprint-Nextel merger and/or
    the PCS Affiliates and Nextel Partners' acquisitions. Merger and
    integration costs are generally non-recurring in nature and
    primarily include costs to prepare systems for the launch of
    common customer interfacing systems, processes and other
    integration and planning activities, certain costs to provide
    wireless devices that operate seamlessly between the CDMA and iDEN
    networks, certain customer care costs, costs to retain employees,
    costs related to re-branding, and other costs. Merger and
    integration costs related to wireless devices that operate
    seamlessly between the CDMA and iDEN networks were $36 million for
    the third quarter 2007 and $113 million for the nine months ended
    September 30, 2007.

   Merger and integration expenses which are solely and directly
    attributable to the Wireless segment have been allocated to that
    segment. These expenses are classified as selling, general and
    administrative, cost of products, or equipment revenues as
    appropriate on our consolidated statement of operations. Merger
    and integration expenses that are not solely and directly
    attributable to the Wireless segment are included in the Corporate
    segment and are classified as selling, general and administrative
    expenses on our consolidated statement of operations. In the
    second quarter of 2007, we reclassified certain historical merger
    and integration expenses from the Corporate segment to the
    Wireless segment to conform with the policies described above.

(3)In the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, we recorded
    severance, exit costs and asset impairment charges of $125 million
    pre-tax ($78 million, net of tax), which consists of $57 million
    ($35 million, net of tax) work force reductions, lease termination
    charges, and $68 million ($43 million, net of tax) of asset
    impairments due to the abandonment of various assets during the
    period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded
    severance, exit costs and asset impairment charges of $384 million
    pre-tax ($239 million, net of tax), which consists of $266 million
    related to work force reductions and lease termination charges,
    and $118 million of asset impairments primarily related to the
    abandonment of various assets year to date. Severance, lease exit
    costs and asset impairment charges are allocated to the
    appropriate segment results.

   In the third quarter ended September 30, 2006, we recorded
    severance, exit costs and asset impairment charges of $50 million
    pre-tax ($31 million, net of tax), which consists of $31 million
    in severance and related costs associated with work force
    reductions of legacy Sprint employees and $19 million of asset
    impairments primarily related to software asset impairment and
    abandonment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we
    recorded severance, exit costs and asset impairment charges of
    $128 million pre-tax ($77 million, net of tax), which consists of
    about $67 million in severance and related costs associated with
    work force reductions of legacy Sprint employees and $61 million
    of asset impairments primarily related to software asset
    impairment and abandonment. Severance, exit costs and asset
    impairment charges are allocated to the appropriate segment
    results.

(4)In May 2006, we entered into a separation and distribution
    agreement with Embarq Corporation, which consists primarily of the
    business that we had reported as the Local segment in our
    consolidated financial statements in prior periods, and, at the
    time, was a wholly owned subsidiary, and on May 17, 2006, we
    completed the spin off of Embarq. The results of the discontinued
    operations (net of tax), have been reclassified out of the
    operating results as of January 1, 2006.

(5)Contingencies and other includes a charge associated with legal
    contingencies and net costs associated with the exit of a non-core
    line of business.
