PR Newswire
RESTON, Va., Nov. 7, 2012
RESTON, Va., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NII Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIHD)
today announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of
2012. During the quarter, the Company added 152,000 net subscribers to its
network, bringing its ending subscriber base to more than 11.3 million, an 11
percent increase compared to the subscriber base as of September 30, 2011.
Financial results for the quarter included consolidated operating revenues of
$1.49 billion, down 15 percent from the level reported in the third quarter of
2011, and consolidated OIBDA of $218 million, a 44 percent decline compared to
the same period last year, resulting from weaker average foreign currency
exchange rates, lower average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) on a local
currency basis and incremental expenses related to the Company's deployment of
its planned third generation (3G) networks. For the third quarter of 2012, the
Company generated consolidated operating income of $33 million and a
consolidated net loss of $82 million, or $0.48 per basic share.

The Company began offering 3G products and services in 34 cities in Mexico,
covering 45 million people in September, and in Chile in July. Investments in
3G networks, as well as the ongoing investments in capacity of the Company's
iDEN^® networks, resulted in consolidated capital expenditures of $389 million
for the quarter.
"During the third quarter, we made progress on the deployment of our 3G
networks, but were disappointed with our operating results," said Steve
Dussek, NII Holdings' chief executive officer. "Nextel Brazil's performance
continued to be adversely impacted by the actions we are taking to improve the
quality of our customer base. While these actions have driven an increase in
churn, they are also leading to more stable ARPU and higher quality subscriber
loading. Moving forward, in the fourth quarter of this year, we have decided
to execute a strategy in Brazil to eliminate customers on our network who do
not align with our value proposition and have proven to be expensive and
difficult to retain. While this plan will mean that churn will rise
substantially for the fourth quarter of 2012, causing us to fall well below
our consolidated net addition goals for the year, it will position Nextel
Brazil to return to positive net add growth in the first quarter of 2013, with
a higher quality subscriber base. Executing this strategy is the right
decision for the business in the long-term."
NII Holdings' consolidated ARPU was $37 for the third quarter of 2012, down
almost $12 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was driven by
year-over-year weakening in local foreign currency exchange rates and the
impact of lower rate plans the Company offered in response to more aggressive
competition in recent quarters, particularly in Brazil. The Company also
reported churn of 2.65 percent for the third quarter, up almost 90 basis
points from the level reported for the same period last year. This increase
was due primarily to actions the Company has taken in Brazil to focus its
retention efforts only on customers that are more likely to benefit from the
value of its services as well as the increased churn for customers purchasing
service under prepaid plans in Peru and Argentina. Consolidated cost per gross
add (CPGA) was $281 for the third quarter, a $51 decrease compared to the
third quarter of 2011.
"A key component of our long-term strategy is the deployment of our 3G
networks, which will enable us to expand and improve our competitive service
offering," added Dussek. "We have reached several milestones in this effort,
including our recent launch of the initial phase of our 3G network in Mexico,
and our launch of 3G services in Chile and Peru. We are experiencing good
demand for our 3G services adding 3G voice and data customers in each of our
markets where our new networks have been launched, and we are encouraged about
the growth we expect to generate on these networks in the future. However, we
continue to experience problems executing on our 3G deployment in Brazil, and
we are behind schedule. Our team is working hard to get our new services up
and running as soon as possible. We expect to launch our first wave of 3G
services supported by this new network in select cities in Brazil later this
year, initially focusing on data services and adding new services and features
more broadly in 2013."
The Company ended the quarter with $4.7 billion in total debt and $1.7 billion
in consolidated cash and investments, resulting in net debt of $3.0 billion.
Also, in October, the Company closed on a local currency financing in Brazil
of approximately $200 million, enhancing its liquidity position.

Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization
Consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization, or OIBDA,
represents operating income before depreciation and amortization expense.
Consolidated OIBDA is not a measurement under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, may not be similar to consolidated OIBDA
measures of other companies and should be considered in addition to, but not
as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of
operations. We believe that consolidated OIBDA provides useful information to
investors because it is an indicator of operating performance, especially in a
capital intensive industry such as ours, since it excludes items that are not
directly attributable to ongoing business operations. Our consolidated OIBDA
calculations are commonly used as some of the bases for investors, analysts
and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future
operating performance and value of companies within the wireless
telecommunications industry. Consolidated OIBDA can be reconciled to our
consolidated statements of operations as follows (in millions):

* The Company's guidance estimate for OIBDA for the year ending December 31,
2012 includes the impact of approximately $50 million of non-cash equity
compensation expense. This estimate is predicated on a number of assumptions,
including the assumption that foreign currency exchange rates and general
economic conditions in its markets will remain relatively stable during the
year. The information regarding the Company's outlook and objectives for 2012,
including its guidance estimate for OIBDA for the year ended December 31,
2012, is forward looking and is based upon management's current beliefs, as
well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and as such, should
be taken in the context of the risks and uncertainties identified in the "Safe
Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
included above and of the risks and uncertainties outlined in the SEC filings
of NII Holdings, Inc., including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2011 and the Company's other filings with the SEC.
Average Monthly Revenue Per Handset/Unit in Service (ARPU)
Average monthly revenue per handset/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
handsets 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 and reconciled to
our consolidated statement of operations as follows (in millions, except
ARPU):

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 millions, except CPGA):

Net Debt
Net debt represents total debt less cash, cash equivalents, short-term and
long-term investments. Net debt to consolidated operating income before
depreciation and amortization represents net debt divided by consolidated
operating income before depreciation and amortization. We include the cash in
long-term investments to the items subtracted from total debt to calculate net
debt. Net debt is not a measurement under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, may not be similar to net debt measures of
other companies and should be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, the information contained in our balance sheets. We believe
that net debt and net debt to consolidated operating income before
depreciation and amortization provide useful information concerning our
liquidity and leverage. Net debt as of September 30, 2012 can be calculated as
follows (in millions):
NII Holdings, Inc
Total debt $ 4,639.7
Add: debt discounts 25.6
Less: cash and cash equivalents 1,568.0
Less: short-term investments 117.1
Net debt $ 2,980.2
Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations
The following table shows the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates on certain financial measures for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2012 by (i) adjusting the
relevant measures for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 to
levels that would have resulted if the average foreign currency exchange rates
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011 were the same as the
average foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 2012; and (ii) comparing the actual and
adjusted financial measures for the nine and three months ended September 30,
2011 to the similar financial measures for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 2012 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, Nextel Mexico and
Nextel Argentina, before the adjustments for changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, are based on the calculations contained elsewhere in these
non-GAAP reconciliations for the nine and three months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011. The average foreign currency exchange rates for each of the
relevant currencies during each of the nine and three months ended September
30, 2012 and 2011 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 nine
and three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011
by removing the impact of the significant difference in the average foreign
currency exchange rates in effect for those periods.

(1) The "3Q 2011 Normalized" and "YTD 2011 Normalized" amounts reflect the
impact of applying the average foreign currency exchange rates for the nine
and three months ended September 30, 2012 to the operating revenues earned in
foreign currencies and to the other components of each of the actual financial
measures shown above for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011,
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 2011 Adjustment" and "YTD 2011 Adjustment" reflect the
amount determined by subtracting the "3Q 2011 Normalized" and "YTD 2011
Normalized" amounts calculated as described in the preceding sentence from the
"3Q 2011 Actual" and "YTD 2011 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 nine and three months ended September 30,
2011. The average foreign currency exchange rates for each of the relevant
currencies during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
for purposes of these calculations were as follows:
Nine Months Ended September Three Months Ended
30, September 30,
2012 2011 2012 2011
Brazilian real 1.92 1.63 2.03 1.64
Mexican peso 13.24 12.02 13.19 12.25
Argentine peso 4.47 4.09 4.61 4.17
(2) The percentage amounts in these columns reflect the growth rates for
each of the financial measures comparing the amounts in the "3Q 2012 Actual"
and "YTD 2012 Actual" columns with those in the "3Q 2011 Actual" and "YTD 2011
Actual" columns.
(3) The percentage amounts in these columns reflect the growth rates for
each of the financial measures comparing the amounts in the "3Q 2012 Actual"
and "YTD 2012 Actual" columns with those in the "3Q 2011 Normalized" and "YTD
2011 Normalized" columns.
