Exhibit 99.3
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements present the pro forma combined financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of Crown Castle International Corp. (Crown Castle) and T3 Sites, a component T-Mobile, after giving effect to the acquisition by Crown Castle, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, of the exclusive right to lease, operate or otherwise acquire approximately 7,100 wireless communication sites (the Sites) from T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, AG (T-Mobile), and certain T-Mobile subsidiaries for approximately $2.486 billion in cash (subject to certain post-closing adjustments) (the T-Mobile Transaction) and the related financings and other transactions described herein (collectively, together with the T-Mobile Transaction, the Transactions). The adjustments set forth herein and described in the accompanying footnotes are intended to reflect the impact of the Transactions on Crown Castle. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements and have been developed from the (i) audited consolidated financial statements of Crown Castle contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Crown Castle contained in its periodic report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and (ii) statement of revenues and certain expenses of T3 Sites for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012. T3 Sites is not a legal entity and references to T3 Sites refer to the collective operations of the Sites. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared using the purchase method of accounting, with Crown Castle treated as the acquirer and as if the Transactions had been consummated on September 30, 2012 for purposes of preparing the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet, and on January 1, 2011 for purposes of preparing the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Crown Castle is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from T-Mobile, including property and equipment and intangible assets. Given the size and timing of the T-Mobile Transaction, the amount of certain assets and liabilities presented are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and the third-party valuation is finalized. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not finalized relate to fair values of property and equipment, intangibles, goodwill and the related tax impact of adjustments to these areas of the purchase price allocation. However, as indicated in note (B) to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Crown Castle made preliminary estimates of the fair values necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on the assumption that substantially all of the leased Sites in the T-Mobile Transaction are accounted for as prepaid capital leases. Any excess purchase price over the acquired net assets, as adjusted to reflect estimated fair values, has been recorded as goodwill. Actual results may differ from these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements once Crown Castle has determined the final purchase price for the T-Mobile Transaction, including with respect to finalization of the tower count, and has completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of Crown Castle would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the realization of potential cost savings from operating efficiencies or restructuring costs that may result from the T-Mobile Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Crown Castle previously filed on our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the statements of revenues and certain expenses of T3 Sites and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this filing.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Crown Castle International Corp. and Subsidiaries
(tabular dollars in thousands)
B3. | As part of the Transactions, we issued $1.65 billion in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2023 (5.25% Senior Notes). We received proceeds of $1.63 billion net of $18.7 million of fees, which were recorded as deferred financing costs. The 5.25% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable in cash during January and July of each year commencing in July 2013. We used the net proceeds from the 5.25% Senior Notes to partially fund the T-Mobile Transaction. |
In addition to the 5.25% Senior Notes, we borrowed $770 million under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facility (2012 Revolver), which, together with cash on hand, was used to fund the remaining portion of the T-Mobile Transaction. The 2012 Revolver bears interest at a per annum rate equal to Libor plus 2.0% to 2.75% based on the borrowers total net leverage ratio. The current interest rate per annum is approximately 2.7%. A hypothetical unfavorable fluctuation in market interest rates on our 2012 Revolver borrowings of 1/8 of a percent over a 12 month period would increase our interest expense by approximately $1.9 million.

D3. | Reflects the increased annual interest expense of (1) $88.5 million from the $1.65 billion of 5.25% Senior Notes issued in October 2012, inclusive of the related amortization of deferred financing costs of $18.7 million calculated using an amortization period of ten years and (2) $20.9 million from the incurrence of $770 million of borrowings under our 2012 Revolver (at a current interest rate of approximately 2.7%). |
D4. | For the year ended December 31, 2011, benefit (provision) for income taxes does not reflect the aggregate pro forma income tax effect of notes D1, D2 and D3 above because Crown Castle did not meet the GAAP criteria for recognition of such deferred tax assets during 2011. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, Crown Castle met the GAAP criteria for recognition of such deferred tax assets and therefore reversed a substantial portion of the valuation allowances recorded against the Companys deferred tax assets as described in the Companys periodic report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. |
E. | Reflects our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-Q filed on November 2, 2012. |
F. | Reflects Transactions as set forth below. |
F1. | Reflects revenues and certain site operating expense of T3 Sites as adjusted for the items footnoted below for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These amounts were derived from the unaudited statement of revenue and certain expenses of T3 Sites for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included elsewhere herein. |

F4. | Benefit (provision) for income taxes reflects the aggregate pro forma tax effect of notes F1, F2 and F3 above using the federal statutory rates. No benefit has been recognized for state taxes due to the fact that the subsidiary of the Company, which holds this investment, has recorded a full valuation allowance against state deferred tax assets as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not include non-recurring changes to provision for income taxes for the T-Mobile Transaction, including the impact of valuation allowance reversals that may have been recorded had the Transactions been consummated on January 1, 2011. |
