RESTON, Va., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NII Holdings, Inc. [NASDAQ: NIHD] today
announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2018. For
the quarter, the Company generated consolidated operating revenues
of $142 million, consolidated
operating income of $1 million and
consolidated adjusted OIBDA of $8
million. The Company's consolidated adjusted OIBDA for the
quarter excludes the impact of non-cash asset impairments and
restructuring charges. Capital expenditures were $18 million for the quarter.
For the third quarter of 2018, Nextel Brazil, the Company's
operating subsidiary in Brazil,
reported 3G/4G net subscriber additions of 85,700 and 3G/4G churn
of 2.68%, a 136-basis point decrease year-over-year. Additionally,
for the third quarter of 2018, Nextel Brazil's average monthly
service revenue per subscriber (ARPU) was $14, cost per gross addition (CPGA) was
$55 and cash cost per user (CCPU) was
$11.
"We reported strong operational and financial results as the
momentum we built in the first half of the year continued this
quarter," stated Roberto Rittes, Chief Executive Officer of Nextel
Brazil. "The combination of subscriber growth and further cost
reductions drove a significant improvement in adjusted OIBDA. With
the iDEN wind down behind us, we are focused on continuing to
execute on our 3G/4G growth plan and translating that growth into
improving profitability."
At quarter-end, Nextel Brazil's sources of funding totaled
$307 million, including $201 million of unrestricted cash and short-term
investments and $106 million of cash
held in escrow to secure indemnification obligations in connection
with the sale of the Company's operations in Mexico.
"We are pleased with our results to date and the positive
operating trends in our business. To prepare for continued growth
next year, we decided to accelerate some capex planned for the
first quarter of 2019, which will increase the amount of capex we
will invest this year compared to plan. Otherwise we remain on
track to meet or exceed our guidance for the year," stated
Dan Freiman, NII's Chief Financial
Officer. "Looking ahead, with a healthy liquidity position and
improving business performance, we are well positioned to continue
investing in our growth plan, while staying disciplined in our
spending."
In September 2018, Access
Industries, through its affiliate AI Media Holdings, acquired ice
group's 30% equity interest in Nextel Holdings, which owns 100% of
the equity interests of Nextel Brazil. The Company and AI Media are
working together to review and agree on continued investments to
support Nextel Brazil's growth plans.
Additional details regarding the Company's results, including a
more detailed explanation on local currency operating metrics, are
included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
three months ended September 30, 2018
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today. Additional
operational and financial details, including a quarterly earnings
presentation, are also available under the Company's Investor
Relations link at www.nii.com.
In addition to the financial results prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) provided throughout
this press release and in the attached financial tables, NII
Holdings has presented consolidated adjusted OIBDA, as well as
Nextel Brazil's CCPU and CPGA. These measures are non-GAAP

"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the securities
laws. The statements in this news release regarding the business
and economic outlook, future performance, as well as other

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

changes in economic conditions in Brazil, the performance of the Company's
network, the Company's ability to provide services that customers

Consolidated OIBDA and consolidated adjusted OIBDA are not
measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, may not be
similar to consolidated OIBDA and consolidated adjusted OIBDA
measures of other companies and should be considered in addition
to, but not as substitutes for, the information contained in our
statements of operations. We believe that consolidated OIBDA and
consolidated adjusted OIBDA provide useful information to investors
because they are indicators of our operating performance,
especially in a capital intensive industry such as ours, since they
exclude items that are not directly attributable to ongoing
business operations. Consolidated OIBDA and consolidated adjusted
OIBDA can be reconciled to our consolidated statements of
operations as follows (in millions):

Cost per Gross Add (CPGA)
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 as follows
(in millions, except CPGA):

The adoption of
Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC,
No. 606, resulted in the capitalization of both direct and
indirect
commissions beginning on January 1, 2018 compared to the
expensing of these types of commissions during the third
quarter
of 2017, which resulted in a decrease in selling and marketing
expenses from the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of
2018.

Cash Cost per Handset/User
Cash cost per handset/user, or CCPU, represents the sum of cost
of service, general and administrative expenses and customer
retention and other costs divided by average handsets in service
during the period and divided by the number of months in the
period. CCPU is not a measurement under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United
States, may not be similar to CCPU measures of other
companies and should not be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, the information contained in our statements of
operations. We believe CCPU is a measure of the recurring
costs we incur on a monthly basis to provide service to our
subscribers. The CCPU calculation excludes material asset
impairments, severance costs associated with publicly announced
restructuring plans and other material non-recurring or unusual
charges and is calculated as follows (in thousands, except
CCPU):

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations
The following table shows the impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on certain financial measures for the three
and nine months ended September 30,
2017 compared to the same periods in 2018 by (i) adjusting
the relevant measures for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2017 to levels that
would have resulted if the average foreign currency exchange rates
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were the same as the average
foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the three
and nine months ended September 30,
2018; and (ii) comparing the actual and adjusted financial
measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the similar financial
measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to show the percentage change
in those measures before and after taking those adjustments into
account. The amounts reflected in the following table for operating
income before depreciation and amortization on a consolidated basis
and segment earnings for Nextel Brazil, before the adjustments for
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, are based on the
calculations contained elsewhere in these non-GAAP reconciliations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The average foreign
currency exchange rates for each of the relevant currencies during
each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are included in the
notes to the table below. The information reflected in the
following table is not a measurement under 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
nine months ended September 30, 2018
compared to the same periods in 2017 by removing the impact of the
significant difference in the average foreign currency exchange
rates in effect for those periods.

The "3Q 2017

applying the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2018 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, 2017, 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
2017 Normalized" and "YTD 2017 Normalized" reflect the amount
determined by adding the "3Q 2017 Adjustment" and "YTD 2017

Additional Information
Average Monthly Revenue Per Handset/Unit in Service
(ARPU)
Average monthly revenue per subscriber unit in service, or ARPU,
is an industry term that measures service revenues, which we refer
to as subscriber revenues, per period from our customers divided by
the weighted average number of subscriber units in commercial
service during that period. ARPU is not a measurement under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, may not be similar to ARPU
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 that ARPU provides useful
information concerning the appeal of our rate plans and service
offerings and our performance in attracting and retaining high
value customers. Other revenue includes revenues for such services
as roaming, handset maintenance, cancellation fees, analog and
other. ARPU can be calculated as follows (in millions, except
ARPU):
