Cautionary Statement
SAFE HARBOR
This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. The words “may,”
“could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan,” “providing
guidance,” and similar expressions are intended to identify information that is not historical in nature. All statements
that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future —
including statements relating to the LeaseCo transaction and statements expressing general views about future
operating results — are forward-looking statements. 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, ability to recognize the expected benefits of the LeaseCo transaction; availability of devices;
availability of various financings, including any additional leasing transactions; and the timing of various events. 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, 2015. 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.

*Non-GAAP 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 presentation 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. 
Reconciliations between the non-GAAP financial measures and the GAAP financial measures are available on the
company’s website at www.sprint.com/investors.
