OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - May 3, 2017 - Sprint Corporation (NYSE: S) today reported operating results for the fiscal year 2016 fourth quarter and full year, including annual growth in net operating revenues for the first time in three years and more than twice as many postpaid phone net additions as last year. The company also reported its highest annual operating income in 10 years at $1.8 billion, Adjusted EBITDA* of nearly $10 billion for the year, which grew 22 percent year-over-year, and positive adjusted free cash flow*.

For the fiscal fourth quarter, the company reported operating income of $470 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.7 billion, both improvements of more than $450 million year-over-year.

“Sprint took a big step forward in the second year of our turnaround plan,” said Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure. “Net operating revenues returned to growth and cost reductions accelerated, leading to the highest operating income in a decade and a return to positive adjusted free cash flow*.”

Postpaid Phone Net Additions More Than Double Year-Over-Year and Prepaid Returns to Growth

Sprint’s focus on delivering the most attractive value proposition in wireless resulted in 930,000 postpaid phone net additions in fiscal year 2016, more than twice as many as the prior year. The company also reported its highest postpaid phone gross additions in four years and improved its share of gross additions for the second year in a row.

In a competitive quarter where Verizon and AT&T introduced new unlimited data plans, Sprint added 42,000 postpaid phone customers and recorded its tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. Sprint continued to take share and has now added more postpaid phone customers than Verizon for five consecutive quarters and more than AT&T for 10 consecutive quarters.



News Release

The company also saw significant improvements in its prepaid business in the quarter, adding 180,000 customers and returning to customer growth for the first time in two years. With the resurgence of prepaid and the continued growth in postpaid phone customers, the company reported positive net additions for both in the same quarter for the first time in four years.

The company also reported the following results:


•	Total net additions were 187,000 in the quarter, including postpaid net losses of 118,000, prepaid net additions of 180,000, and wholesale and affiliate net additions of 125,000. For the full year, total net additions were 1.9 million, including postpaid net additions of 811,000, prepaid net losses of 1.1 million, and wholesale and affiliate net additions of 2.1 million.


•	Postpaid phone churn was 1.58 percent and total postpaid churn was 1.75 percent in the quarter. For the full year, postpaid phone churn of 1.48 percent was the lowest in company history and total postpaid churn was 1.62 percent.

Another Year of Significant Cost Reductions

Sprint continued to make progress on its multi-year plan to transform the way it does business and significantly lower its cost structure. The company delivered $2.1 billion of year-over-year reductions in cost of service and selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2016, bringing the two-year total reduction to $3.4 billion.

The company also reported the following financial results:


•	Net operating revenues of $8.5 billion in the quarter grew 6 percent year-over-year and increased year-over-year for the third consecutive quarter. For the full year, net operating revenues of $33.3 billion grew 4 percent and increased year-over-year for the first time in three years.


•	Net loss of $283 million, or $0.07 per share, in the quarter compared to a net loss of $554 million, or $0.14 per share, in the year-ago period, an improvement of $271 million, or $0.07 per share. For the full year, net loss of $1.2 billion, or $0.30 per share, compared to a net loss of $2 billion, or $0.50 per share, in the year-ago period, an improvement of $789 million, or $0.20 per share.


•	Operating income of $470 million in the quarter compared to $8 million in the year-ago period, an improvement of $462 million. For the full year, operating income of $1.8 billion improved by $1.5 billion year-over-year and reached its highest level in 10 years.


•	Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.7 billion in the quarter grew year-over-year by $522 million or 24 percent.

For the full year, Adjusted EBITDA* of nearly $10 billion grew year-over-year by $1.8 billion or 22 percent.


•	Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 billion in the quarter was in line with the year-ago period. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.2 billion compared to $3.9 billion in the year-ago period.


•	Adjusted free cash flow* was $80 million in the quarter compared to $603 million in the year-ago period. For the full year, adjusted free cash flow* was positive $607 million compared to negative $1.4 billion in the year-ago period, an improvement of $2 billion.

Obtaining Lower Cost Funding to Retire Higher Cost Debt

Sprint continued to execute its financing strategy of diversifying its funding sources, lowering its cost of capital, and reducing its future cash interest expenses. During the quarter Sprint replaced its $3.3 billion unsecured revolving bank credit facility with a new $6 billion secured credit facility, consisting of a $4 billion seven-year term loan and a $2 billion four-year revolving bank credit facility. At closing, the company borrowed $4 billion on the term loan facility at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, which is about half of Sprint’s current effective interest rate.

The company also retired approximately $1.6 billion of debt maturities with higher interest payments in the quarter, including $1 billion of 9.125 percent senior notes, $300 million associated with its Network LeaseCo facility, and $250 million related to the early retirement of tranche 4 of its EDC facility.

Total liquidity was $10.9 billion at the end of the quarter, including $8.3 billion of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Additionally, the company has $1.2 billion of availability under vendor financing agreements that can be used toward the purchase of 2.5GHz network equipment.



News Release

New Technology Expected to Continue Network Improvements

Sprint is unlocking the value of the largest spectrum holdings in the U.S. in a capital-efficient manner and third party sources continue to validate the company’s network performance improvements.

•

Independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics® awarded Sprint over 30 percent more first-place (outright or shared) Metropolitan area RootScore® Awards (from 103 to 135) for reliability, speed, data, call, text, or overall network performance in the 76 markets measured in the first half of 2017 compared to the year-ago testing period.¹Additionally, Sprint ranked #2 nationally in Call performance for the fourth consecutive time in the second half of 2016 report, including more metro Call RootScore awards (108) than Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile for the first time ever.

Sprint platform postpaid phone ARPU represents revenues related to our postpaid phone connections.

^(b)Sprint platform postpaid ABPA* is calculated by dividing service revenue earned from connections plus installment plan billings and lease revenue by the sum of the monthly average number of accounts during the period.

^(c)Sprint platform postpaid phone ABPU* is calculated by dividing postpaid phone service revenue earned from postpaid phone connections plus installment plan billings and lease revenue by the sum of the monthly average number of postpaid phone connections during the period.

^(e) As a result of aligning all prepaid brands, including prepaid affiliate subscribers, under one churn and retention program as of December 31, 2016, end of period prepaid and affiliate subscribers were reduced by 1,234,000 and 21,000, respectively.

News Release

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)


⁽¹⁾	Sprint platform refers to the Sprint network that supports the wireless service we provide through our multiple brands.


⁽²⁾	Postpaid and prepaid connections from transactions are defined as retail postpaid and prepaid connections acquired from Clearwire in July 2013 who had not deactivated or been recaptured on the Sprint platform.

⁽³⁾

As more of our customers elect to lease a device rather than purchasing one under our subsidized program, there is a significant positive impact to EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA* from direct channel sales primarily due to the fact the cost of the device is not recorded as cost of products but rather is depreciated over the customer lease term. Under our device leasing program for the direct channel, devices are transferred from inventory to property and equipment and the cost of the leased device is recognized as depreciation expense over the customer lease term to an estimated residual value. The customer payments are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease. Under our subsidized program, the cash received from the customer for the device is recognized as equipment revenue at the point of sale and the cost of the device is recognized as cost of products. During the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2017, we leased devices through our Sprint direct channels totaling approximately $639 million and $2,920 million, respectively, which would have increased cost of products and reduced EBITDA* if they had been purchased under our subsidized program. Also, during the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2017, the equipment revenue derived from customers electing to finance their devices through device leasing or installment billing programs in our direct channel was 52% and 62%, respectively.

The impact to EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA* resulting from the sale of devices under our installment billing program is generally neutral except for the impact from the time value of money element related to the imputed interest on the installment receivable.

⁽⁴⁾

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company recorded losses on dispositions of assets primarily related to cell site construction and network development costs that are no longer relevant as a result of changes in the company's network plans. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 the company recorded a pre-tax non-cash gain of $354 million related to spectrum swaps with other carriers.


⁽⁵⁾	Severance and exit costs consist of lease exit costs primarily associated with tower and cell sites, access exit costs related to payments that will continue to be made under the company's backhaul access contracts for which the company will no longer be receiving any economic benefit, and severance costs associated with reduction in its work force.

⁽⁶⁾

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we terminated our relationship with General Wireless Operations Inc. (Radio Shack) and incurred net contract termination charges of approximately $27 million primarily related to cash termination payments and write-downs of leasehold improvements at associated retail stores that were shut down as of March 31, 2017. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 contract terminations primarily relate to the termination of our pre-existing wholesale arrangement with NTELOS Holding Corp.


⁽⁷⁾	Litigation and other contingencies consist of unfavorable developments associated with legal as well as federal and state matters such as sales, use or property taxes.

⁽⁸⁾

As a result of the U.S. Cellular asset acquisition, we recorded a liability related to network shut-down costs, which primarily consisted of lease exit costs, for which we agreed to reimburse U.S. Cellular. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we identified favorable trends in actual costs and, as a result, reduced the liability resulting in a gain of $41 million. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we revised our estimate and, as a result, reduced the liability resulting in approximately $20 million of income.


⁽⁹⁾	Free cash flow* for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 and the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2017, included net cash outflows of approximately $370 million related to the termination of our MLS Tranche 1 arrangement, which included the repurchase of the devices.



News Release

*FINANCIAL MEASURES

Sprint provides financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted 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 measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, financial information 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 provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in its financial reporting. Because Sprint 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 does not provide reconciliations to GAAP of its forward-looking financial measures.

The measures used in this release include the following:

EBITDA is operating income/(loss) before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding severance, exit costs, and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by non-equipment net operating revenues for Wireless and Adjusted EBITDA divided by net operating revenues for Wireline. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these expenses primarily represent non-cash current period costs associated with the use of long-lived tangible and definite-lived intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Sprint Platform Postpaid ABPA is average billings per account and calculated by dividing postpaid service revenue earned from postpaid customers plus installment plan billings and lease revenue by the sum of the monthly average number of postpaid accounts during the period. We believe that ABPA provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management to evaluate average Sprint platform postpaid customer billings per account as it approximates the expected cash collections, including installment plan billings and lease revenue, per postpaid account each month.

Sprint Platform Postpaid Phone ABPU is average billings per postpaid phone user and calculated by dividing service revenue earned from postpaid phone customers plus installment plan billings and lease revenue by the sum of the monthly average number of postpaid phone connections during the period. We believe that ABPU provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management to evaluate average Sprint platform postpaid phone customer billings as it approximates the expected cash collections, including installment plan billings and lease revenue, per postpaid phone user each month.

Free Cash Flow is the cash provided by operating activities less the cash used in investing activities other than short-term investments, including changes in restricted cash, if any, and excluding the sale-leaseback of devices and equity method investments. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow plus the proceeds from device financings and sales of receivables, net of repayments. We believe that Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow provide useful information to investors, analysts and our management about the cash generated by our core operations and net proceeds obtained to fund certain leased devices, respectively, after interest and dividends, if any, 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, short-term investments and, if any, restricted cash. 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.

“Sprint took a big step forward in the second year of our turnaround plan. Net operating revenues returned to growth and cost reductions accelerated, leading to the highest operating income in a decade and a return to positive adjusted free cash flow*.”

Sprint ended the quarter with 59.7 million connections, including 31.6 million postpaid, 12.0 million prepaid, and 16.1 million wholesale and affiliate connections. The company has had nearly 1.9 million net additions^ over the last four quarters.

Both the year- over-year and sequential declines were impacted by higher tablet net losses, while the sequential decrease was also driven by seasonally lower phone gross additions. 1.56% 1.39% 1.37% 1.57% 1.58% 1.72% 1.56% 1.52% 1.67% 1.75% 4QFY15 1QFY16 2QFY16 3QFY16 4QFY16 Postpaid Phone Churn Postpaid Total Churn Postpaid Total Churn and Postpaid Phone Churn^ Postpaid phone churn^ of 1.58 percent compared to 1.56 percent in the year-ago period and 1.57 percent in the prior quarter. Both year-over-year and sequentially, churn was relatively flat. Postpaid churn^ of 1.75 percent for the current quarter increased from 1.72 percent in the year-ago period and 1.67 percent in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mostly due to higher tablet churn as customers rolled off promotional offers.

The year-over-year improvement was mostly due to higher gross additions, while the sequential decrease was mostly driven by seasonally lower gross additions. The company ended the quarter with 26.1 million phone connections. Tablet net losses^ were 170,000 in the quarter compared to net losses of 36,000 in the year-ago period and 30,000 in the prior quarter. Both the year-over-year and sequential declines were due to lower gross additions and higher churn rates as the company continues to focus on growing phone connections.

The growth has been driven by higher phones per account, partially offset by recent tablet pressure. Wholesale & affiliate^ net additions were 125,000 in the quarter compared to 655,000 in the year- ago period and 673,000 in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential declines were mostly due to lower connected device net additions, with a portion of the sequential decline also driven by Lifeline customer losses, both of which generally have a lower ARPU than other wholesale & affiliate customers. Prepaid net additions^ of 180,000 during the quarter compared to losses of 264,000 in the year- ago period and losses of 501,000 in the prior quarter. Both the year-over-year and sequential improvements were driven by strong performance in the Boost brand, while the year-over-year improvement was also impacted by fewer net losses within the Virgin brand. Prepaid churn^ was 4.99 percent compared to 5.65 percent for the year-ago period and 5.80 percent for the prior quarter. Both the year-over-year and sequential decreases were mostly driven by improvements within the Boost brand. The year-over-year decrease was also impacted by lower Virgin brand deactivations.

$8.1 $8.0 $8.2 $8.5 $8.5 4QFY15 1QFY16 2QFY16 3QFY16 4QFY16 Net Operating Revenues Dollars In Billions Net operating revenues of $8.5 billion for the quarter increased $468 million year-over-year and declined $10 million sequentially. The year-over-year growth was mostly driven by higher equipment revenue, partially offset by lower wireless and wireline service revenue. Sequentially, higher equipment revenue was offset by lower wireless service revenue. The year-over-year and sequential growth in equipment revenue was partially driven by the sale of used devices to third parties, which had a corresponding impact to cost of products expense and was relatively neutral to Adjusted EBITDA*. Wireless service revenue of $5.7 billion declined $410 million year-over-year and $202 million sequentially. Approximately $200 million of both the year-over-year and sequential decreases were driven by changes to the company’s device insurance program, which were accretive to Adjusted EBITDA* but resulted in lower insurance revenue as the program revenue is accounted for and presented on a net basis. Adjusted for this change, wireless service revenue was flat sequentially. In addition, the year-over-year reduction was impacted by lower postpaid phone ARPU^, as customers continued to migrate to rate plans offered in conjunction with device financing, partially offset by growth in the postpaid phone customer base. Wireline revenues of $480 million for the quarter declined $82 million year-over-year and $17 million sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential declines were primarily driven by lower voice volumes as the company continues to de-emphasize certain voice services.

The year-over-year and sequential declines were almost entirely due to lower insurance revenue resulting from the change in the company’s device insurance program, which was accretive to Adjusted EBITDA*, but had an approximate $2.50 dilutive impact on phone ABPU in the quarter. Normalizing for this change, ABPU was relatively flat both year- over-year and sequentially. $168.49 $170.56 $170.29 $171.28 $165.92 4QFY15 1QFY16 2QFY16 3QFY16 4QFY16 Service EquipmentPostpaid Average Billings Per Account (ABPA)^* Postpaid Average Billings Per Account (ABPA)^* of $165.92 for the quarter decreased 2 percent year-over- year and 3 percent sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential decreases were primarily driven by lower insurance revenue resulting from the change in the company’s device insurance program. Normalizing for this change, ABPA would have increased both sequentially and year-over-year. Prepaid Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)^ of $30.08 for the quarter increased 9 percent both year-over-year and sequentially. Both increases were primarily driven by a change in the company’s churn rules resulting in the removal of low- engagement customers from the base in the prior quarter. Normalized Normalized

Both the year- over-year and sequential decreases were impacted by changes to the company’s device insurance program, as the program revenue is accounted for and reported on a net basis. The year-over-year decrease was also driven by lower wireline expenses, the shutdown of the WiMax network, lower network labor expenses, and lower roaming expenses including the impact of the nTelos transaction. $1.9 $1.9 $2.0 $2.1 $2.0 4QFY15 1QFY16 2QFY16 3QFY16 4QFY16 Selling, General, and Administrative Dollars In Billions Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $2.0 billion for the quarter increased by $63 million year-over-year and decreased $78 million sequentially. The year-over-year increase was mostly driven by higher bad debt expense related to an increase in installment billing sales, as more bad debt expense is recognized at the time of activation relative to the leasing model, and higher prepaid sales and marketing expenses, partially offset by lower customer care costs. The sequential decrease was mostly driven by seasonally lower postpaid sales, partially offset by higher prepaid marketing and sales expenses.

The year-over-year increase was driven by an increase in the installment billing mix of sales and the sale of used devices to third parties, which had a corresponding impact to equipment revenue and was relatively neutral to Adjusted EBITDA*, partially offset by the elimination of lease payments associated with the first sale-leaseback transaction with Mobile Leasing Solutions, LLC (MLS). Sequentially, an increase due to the sale of used devices to third parties and higher prepaid sales was offset by lower postpaid sales and the elimination of lease payments to MLS. Depreciation and amortization expense of $2.1 billion for the quarter increased $218 million year-over-year and $18 million sequentially. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily related to depreciation of devices associated with our leasing options. Leased device depreciation was $911 million in the quarter, $550 million in the year-ago period, and $837 million in the prior quarter. Other, net expense of $241 million for the quarter included $100 million primarily related to severance and exit costs, litigation and other contingencies, and contract terminations, as well as $141 million primarily related to loss on leased devices, with only the latter impacting Adjusted EBITDA*.

The year-over-year and sequential changes in net losses were directionally in line with the operating income changes noted below. Operating income of $470 million compared to $8 million in the year-ago period and $311 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year improvement was driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA* and lower other, net expenses, as the year-ago period included charges related to the shutdown of WiMax network, partially offset by higher lease depreciation expenses. The sequential improvement was mostly due to higher Adjusted EBITDA*. Adjusted EBITDA* was $2.7 billion for the quarter, compared to $2.2 billion in the year-ago period and $2.5 billion in the prior quarter. The year-over-year improvement was primarily due to higher net operating revenues and lower cost of services expenses, partially offset by higher cost of products expenses. The sequential increase was mostly impacted by higher equipment revenue.

Year-over-year, improvements in Adjusted EBITDA* were offset by unfavorable working capital changes, while sequentially the increase was due to improvements in Adjusted EBITDA* combined with favorable working capital changes. Adjusted free cash flow* of positive $80 million for the quarter compared to positive $603 million in the year-ago period and negative $646 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential changes aligned with the cash provided by operating activities. In addition, the prior year included $600 million of proceeds from the sale of future lease receivables, while the prior quarter included a net cash outflow of approximately $370 million related to the repurchase of devices sold in the first MLS transaction. During the quarter, the company received $100 million in proceeds and made net repayments of $414 million related to device financing and sales of receivables. Cash capital expenditures were $924 million in the quarter compared to $1.3 billion in the year- ago period and $1.2 billion in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by lower network capital expenditures, while the sequential decline was mostly due to lower leased device capital expenditures, as the prior quarter included $477 million associated with the repurchase of devices sold in the first MLS transaction. Capital expenditures for leased devices were $395 million in the current quarter compared to $568 million in the year-ago period and $767 million in the prior quarter.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (1) Sprint platform refers to the Sprint network that supports the wireless service we provide through our multiple brands. (2) Postpaid and prepaid connections from transactions are defined as retail postpaid and prepaid connections acquired from Clearwire in July 2013 who had not deactivated or been recaptured on the Sprint platform. (3) As more of our customers elect to lease a device rather than purchasing one under our subsidized program, there is a significant positive impact to EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA* from direct channel sales primarily due to the fact the cost of the device is not recorded as cost of products but rather is depreciated over the customer lease term. Under our device leasing program for the direct channel, devices are transferred from inventory to property and equipment and the cost of the leased device is recognized as depreciation expense over the customer lease term to an estimated residual value. The customer payments are recognized as revenue over the term of the lease. Under our subsidized program, the cash received from the customer for the device is recognized as equipment revenue at the point of sale and the cost of the device is recognized as cost of products. During the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2017, we leased devices through our Sprint direct channels totaling approximately $639 million and $2,920 million, respectively, which would have increased cost of products and reduced EBITDA* if they had been purchased under our subsidized program. Also, during the three and twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2017, the equipment revenue derived from customers electing to finance their devices through device leasing or installment billing programs in our direct channel was 52% and 62%, respectively. The impact to EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA* resulting from the sale of devices under our installment billing program is generally neutral except for the impact from the time value of money element related to the imputed interest on the installment receivable. (4) During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the company recorded losses on dispositions of assets primarily related to cell site construction and network development costs that are no longer relevant as a result of changes in the company's network plans. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 the company recorded a pre-tax non-cash gain of $354 million related to spectrum swaps with other carriers. (5) Severance and exit costs consist of lease exit costs primarily associated with tower and cell sites, access exit costs related to payments that will continue to be made under the company's backhaul access contracts for which the company will no longer be receiving any economic benefit, and severance costs associated with reduction in its work force. (6) During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we terminated our relationship with General Wireless Operations Inc. (Radio Shack) and incurred net contract termination charges of approximately $27 million primarily related to cash termination payments and write-downs of leasehold improvements at associated retail stores that were shut down as of March 31, 2017. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 contract terminations primarily relate to the termination of our pre-existing wholesale arrangement with NTELOS Holding Corp. (7) Litigation and other contingencies consist of unfavorable developments associated with legal as well as federal and state matters such as sales, use or property taxes. (8) As a result of the U.S. Cellular asset acquisition, we recorded a liability related to network shut-down costs, which primarily consisted of lease exit costs, for which we agreed to reimburse U.S. Cellular. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we identified favorable trends in actual costs and, as a result, reduced the liability resulting in a gain of $41 million. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we revised our estimate and, as a result, reduced the liability resulting in approximately $20 million of income. (9) Free cash flow* for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 and the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2017, included net cash outflows of approximately $370 million related to the termination of our MLS Tranche 1 arrangement, which included the repurchase of the devices.

*FINANCIAL MEASURES *FINANCIAL MEASURES Sprint provides financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted 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 measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, financial information 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 provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in its financial reporting. Because Sprint 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 does not provide reconciliations to GAAP of its forward-looking financial measures. The measures used in this release include the following: EBITDA is operating income/(loss) before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding severance, exit costs, and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by non-equipment net operating revenues for Wireless and Adjusted EBITDA divided by net operating revenues for Wireline. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these expenses primarily represent non-cash current period costs associated with the use of long-lived tangible and definite-lived intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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. Sprint Platform Postpaid ABPA is average billings per account and calculated by dividing postpaid service revenue earned from postpaid customers plus installment plan billings and lease revenue by the sum of the monthly average number of postpaid accounts during the period. We believe that ABPA provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management to evaluate average Sprint platform postpaid customer billings per account as it approximates the expected cash collections, including installment plan billings and lease revenue, per postpaid account each month. Sprint Platform Postpaid Phone ABPU is average billings per postpaid phone user and calculated by dividing service revenue earned from postpaid phone customers plus installment plan billings and lease revenue by the sum of the monthly average number of postpaid phone connections during the period. We believe that ABPU provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management to evaluate average Sprint platform postpaid phone customer billings as it approximates the expected cash collections, including installment plan billings and lease revenue, per postpaid phone user each month. Free Cash Flow is the cash provided by operating activities less the cash used in investing activities other than short-term investments, including changes in restricted cash, if any, and excluding the sale-leaseback of devices and equity method investments. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow plus the proceeds from device financings and sales of receivables, net of repayments. We believe that Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow provide useful information to investors, analysts and our management about the cash generated by our core operations and net proceeds obtained to fund certain leased devices, respectively, after interest and dividends, if any, 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, short-term investments and, if any, restricted cash. 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.

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 development and deployment of new technologies and services; efficiencies and cost savings of new technologies and services; customer and network usage; connection growth and retention; service, speed, coverage and quality; availability of devices; availability of various financings, including any leasing transactions; the timing of various events and the economic environment. Sprint believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date when made. Sprint undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our company's historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Sprint Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, and, when filed, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
