NII HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Unless the context requires otherwise, "NII Holdings, Inc.," "NII Holdings," "we," "our," "us" and "the Company" refer to the combined businesses of NII Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. While these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements, they reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. In addition, the year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We refer to our operating companies by the countries in which they operate, such as Nextel Brazil and Nextel Argentina.

You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the three months ended June 30, 2015. You should not expect results of operations for interim periods to be an indication of the results for a full year. Our consolidated results from continuing operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the results of operations of Nextel Brazil and our corporate headquarters.

Sale of Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L.U. and NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L.U., both of which are indirect subsidiaries of NII Holdings, entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin S.A., or Grupo Clarin, relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Communications Argentina, S.R.L., or Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million, of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allows Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. We received the remaining cash consideration in October 2015. Under the agreement, Grupo Clarin assumes the risk associated with the regulatory approvals relating to the transfer of the 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the exercise of the option for the remaining 51% equity interest, including any impairment or loss of licenses. If Grupo Clarin does not obtain regulatory approval within a specified timeframe, it may request an extension, assign its purchase right to another party or require us to liquidate Nextel Argentina and provide the proceeds to Grupo Clarin.

Pending receipt of the regulatory approvals, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $85.0 million and pledged the remaining 51% of the equity interests in Nextel Argentina to Grupo Clarin. The promissory note was pledged by Grupo Clarin pursuant to a note pledge agreement, does not require the payment of periodic interest and will be assigned to us upon delivery of the remaining 51% of the equity interests in Nextel Argentina. The promissory note only provides for payment to Grupo Clarin if Nextel Argentina makes unauthorized distributions, if the required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina are received and we fail to deliver the remaining 51% of the equity interests, or if the regulatory approvals are not received within three years (four years if Grupo Clarin exercises an extension) and we fail to dispose of our assets in Argentina upon Grupo Clarin's request in accordance with the call option. NII Holdings guaranteed the obligations under the promissory note and the binding agreement in accordance with their respective terms. See Note 7 for more information.

Pending consummation of the transfer of the remaining 51% of the equity interests, we have agreed to cause Nextel Argentina to (i) conduct its business in the ordinary course and (ii) maintain and preserve certain business relationships. The binding agreement provides that $6.0 million of the purchase price will be held in escrow for one year for indemnification of representations, warranties and covenants. Grupo Clarin agreed to purchase Nextel Argentina on an as is, where is basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the binding agreement, including customary representations and warranties. Net proceeds from the sale of the equity interest are freely disposable, and although the transfer of the remaining 51% equity interests is subject to regulatory approval, the transfer is not conditioned on the absence of a material adverse change in the business of Nextel Argentina.

Subsequent to the closing of this transaction with Grupo Clarin, we no longer maintain a controlling financial interest in Nextel Argentina, and therefore we deconsolidated Nextel Argentina's results from our consolidated results of operations. In addition, in connection with this transaction, we have presented Nextel Argentina's results for all periods as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Sale of Nextel Mexico. On April 30, 2015, we, together with our wholly-owned subsidiary NIU Holdings LLC, completed the sale of our Mexican operations to New Cingular Wireless, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of AT&T, Inc. The transaction was structured as a sale of all the outstanding stock of the parent company of Comunicaciones Nextel de México, S.A. de C.V., or

Nextel Mexico, for a purchase price of $1.875 billion, including $187.5 million deposited in escrow for a period of two years to satisfy potential indemnification claims. The net proceeds of the sale were $1.448 billion, after deducting Nextel Mexico's outstanding indebtedness net of cash and applying other specified purchase price adjustments. In connection with this sale, we have presented Nextel Mexico's results for all periods as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Reorganization Accounting. In accordance with the requirements of reorganization accounting, NII Holdings adopted the provisions of fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2015 and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to the "Successor Company" relate to NII Holdings on or subsequent to June 30, 2015. References to the "Predecessor Company" relate to NII Holdings prior to June 30, 2015. See Note 2 for more information regarding the implementation of fresh start accounting.

Going Concern.The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the occurrence of the uncertainties described below. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, we concluded that the circumstances existing at the time raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As discussed in more detail in Note 2, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we restructured $4.35 billion of senior notes by distributing cash and issuing shares of new common stock, resolving the insolvency issues associated with those obligations. In addition, we made a number of changes within our senior management team and modified our business plan to reflect our available cash resources and the impact of the current and expected economic conditions in Brazil on both our subscriber growth and revenues, and to align our costs with this revised outlook.

We have an obligation to meet a net debt financial covenant in Nextel Brazil's local bank loans that will apply semiannually beginning on June 30, 2016. Based on our current business plan, we believe that it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements at the June 30, 2016 measurement date. If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these financing arrangements or secure waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements, and if they were to do so, the lender of Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility could accelerate the amount outstanding under that obligation as well. As of September 30, 2015, we had $230.0 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans and $342.5 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil’s equipment financing facility. See Note 6 for more information.

In light of the risk of a potential default under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans and equipment financing facility described above, we are not currently able to conclude that the circumstances that previously led us to determine that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern no longer exist.

Reclassifications. We have reclassified some prior period amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to our current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements.  There were no new accounting standards issued during the three months ended September 30, 2015 that materially impacted our condensed consolidated financial statements or could materially impact our financial statements or related disclosures in a future period.

Note 2. Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings and Fresh Start Accounting

On September 15, 2014, we and eight of our U.S. and Luxembourg-domiciled subsidiaries, including NII Capital Corp. and NII International Telecom, S.C.A., or NIIT, filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as Chapter 11, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which we refer to as the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, subsequent to September 15, 2014, five additional subsidiaries of NII Holdings, Inc. filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. We refer to the companies that filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 collectively as the Debtors. Our operating subsidiaries in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina were not debtors in these Chapter 11 cases.

On June 19, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Proposed by the Plan Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, dated April 20, 2015. We refer to this plan, as amended, as the Plan of Reorganization. On June 26, 2015, the conditions of the Bankruptcy Court's order and the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied, the Plan of Reorganization became effective, and we and the other Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings. We refer to June 26, 2015 as the Emergence Date.

The significant transactions that occurred on the Emergence Date in connection with the effectiveness of our Plan of Reorganization included the following:

• NII Holdings canceled all shares of its common stock, preferred stock and other equity interests that existed prior to June 26, 2015;

• NII Holdings amended and restated its Bylaws and filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing the Company to issue up to 140,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share;

• NII Holdings issued 99,999,992 shares of new common stock, with a per share value of $20.68, and distributed cash of $776.3 million to the holders of claims and service providers in comprehensive settlement of numerous integrated claims and disputes approved by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization;

• In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, all of the obligations of the Debtors with respect to the following indebtedness were canceled:

• $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due 2019 issued by NIIT pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 23, 2013, among NIIT (as issuer), the Company (as guarantor), and Wilmington Trust National Association (as trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof;

• $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.375% senior notes due 2019 issued by NIIT pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 19, 2013, among NIIT (as issuer), the Company (as guarantor), and Wilmington Trust National Association (as trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof;

• $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior notes due 2021 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 29, 2011, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof;

• $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2019 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2009, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof; and

• $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% senior notes due 2016 issued by NII Capital Corp. pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 18, 2009, among NII Capital Corp. (as issuer), each of the guarantors party thereto

and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (as successor trustee) and all amendments, supplements or modifications thereto and extensions thereof.

Pursuant to our Plan of Reorganization, we entered into a registration rights agreement to provide registration rights to parties that, together with their affiliates, received upon emergence 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of NII Holdings in connection with the Plan of Reorganization. In satisfaction of this registration rights agreement, on July 14, 2015, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 to register our common stock that may be offered for sale from time to time by certain selling stockholders. On July 21, 2015, this Form S-1 was declared effective. We are not selling any common stock under the related prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.

In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we were required to apply the provisions of fresh start accounting to our financial statements because: (i) the holders of existing voting shares of NII Holdings prior to its emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings received less than 50% of the voting shares of NII Holdings outstanding following its emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings; and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Because our results of operations during the period from June 26, 2015 to June 30, 2015 were not material, we applied fresh start accounting to our consolidated financial statements as of the close of business on June 30, 2015. Under the principles of fresh start accounting, a new reporting entity is considered to be created, and as a result, we allocated the reorganization value of NII Holdings as of June 30, 2015 to our individual assets based on their estimated fair values at the date we applied fresh start accounting.

The total value of the cash and shares of common stock distributed under the Plan of Reorganization was $2.813 billion. We refer to this value as the Plan Distributable Value. The Plan Distributable Value was comprised of $745.2 million of cash paid to the holders of our NIIT and NII Capital Corp. senior notes and $2,067.7 million of new common stock. We also distributed an additional $2.8 million to other creditors. We determined the equity value of the Successor Company to be approximately $2,067.7 million, which represents the $2.813 billion Plan Distributable Value less $745.2 million in cash distributions. 

The following condensed consolidated balance sheet reconciles the balance sheet of the Predecessor Company immediately prior to our emergence from Chapter 11 to the balance sheet of the Successor Company immediately subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11. The adjustments set forth in the condensed consolidated balance sheet presented below reflect the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, which are reflected in the "Reorganization Adjustments" column, and the fair value adjustments required by the implementation of fresh start accounting, which are reflected in the "Fresh Start Adjustments" column. The information presented below reflects changes in the estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities that occurred in the third quarter of 2015 as we continue to finalize the information required for fresh start accounting. This condensed consolidated balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the explanatory notes following the table.

The following is a reconciliation of the Successor Company's equity value to its reorganization value as of June 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Fair value of Successor Company's common stock	$	2,067,665
Fair value of debt	789,046
Fair value of other liabilities	702,897
Reorganization value of Successor Company's assets	$	3,559,608

Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 presented above reflects the effect of the following adjustments:

(a) Reflects cash payments made in connection with the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization (in thousands):

Claims paid to senior noteholders	$	745,221
Payments to other creditors	2,779
Total claims paid	748,000
Reorganization-related professional fees	28,306
Total cash payments	$	776,306

(b) Represents the cancellation of debt and related transactions in connection with the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization on the Emergence Date. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, we distributed cash and shares of new common stock to holders of claims. The following table reflects the calculation of the total gain on the settlement of our liabilities subject to compromise (in thousands):

Total Predecessor Company liabilities subject to compromise	$	4,591,452
Less: Common stock, Successor (at par)	(100		)
Additional paid-in-capital, Successor	(2,067,565		)
Total claims paid	(748,000		)
Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise	$	1,775,787

(c) Reflects the cumulative impact of the reorganization adjustments discussed above. Additionally, these adjustments reflect the cancellation of the Predecessor Company's common stock and additional paid-in capital to accumulated deficit (in thousands):

Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise	$	1,775,787
Reorganization-related professional fees	(28,306		)
Net gain on reorganization adjustments	1,747,481
Cancellation of Predecessor Company equity	1,522,492
Net impact to accumulated deficit	$	3,269,973

(d) Represents the net increase in deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with adjustments for fresh start accounting. The change in the components of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulted in a change to the proportionate allocation of the valuation allowance between current deferred tax assets and non-current deferred tax liabilities.

(e) Represents the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs primarily related to Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility and local bank loans.

(f) Reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments on property, plant and equipment in Nextel Brazil and our corporate segment. We measured the fair value of property, plant and equipment using the cost approach as the primary method. The cost approach is based on the premise that a prudent investor would pay no more for an asset than its replacement or reproduction cost. The cost to replace the asset would include the cost of constructing a similar asset of equivalent utility at prices applicable at the time of the valuation analysis. The replacement or reproduction cost estimates were adjusted by losses in value attributable to obsolescence. The following reflects the impact of fresh start adjustments (in thousands):

In Brazil, our spectrum holdings include 20 megahertz, or MHz, of 1.9 gigahertz, or GHz,/2.1 GHz spectrum and 20 MHz of 1.8 GHz spectrum that support our wideband code division multiple access, or WCDMA, network and, in Rio de Janeiro, our long-term evolution, or LTE, network. We valued Nextel Brazil's spectrum licenses using the Greenfield method, a form of the income approach, by estimating the discounted future cash flows of a hypothetical start-up business, based on certain assumptions, including: (i) forecasted revenues and profit margins attributable to the spectrum for the period from July 1, 2015 to June 1, 2041, which represents the end of the current term of our spectrum licenses, including renewals solely at our option; and (ii) a discount rate of 16.6%, which is based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital. We also have spectrum holdings in the 800 MHz specialized mobile radio, or SMR, spectrum band that currently support our integrated digital enhanced network, or iDEN network, but may be used for other purposes in the future.

We valued our intangible assets related to customer relationships, all of which relate to Brazil, using the excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, by estimating the discounted future cash flows attributable to existing subscribers, based on certain assumptions, including: (i) forecasted revenues and profit margins attributable to the current subscriber base beginning on July 1, 2015; (ii) a churn rate of 2.1%; and (iii) a discount rate of 16.6%, based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital.

Our trade name represents the right to use the Nextel name exclusively in our markets. We valued our trade name using the relief from royalty method, a form of the income approach that estimates the amount a market participant would pay to utilize that trade name, based on certain assumptions, including (i) forecasted revenues attributable to the trade name from July 1, 2015 to June 1, 2041; (ii) a royalty rate of 0.25% of expected revenues determined with regard to comparable market transactions and profitability analysis; and (iii) a discount rate of 16.6%, which was based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital.

(h) Represents a $13.5 million decrease in non-income based tax assets to reduce their values to their estimated fair values based on discounted cash flows to reflect the timing of their anticipated realization, partially offset by the recognition of an $11.4 million asset related to the fair value of lease contracts whose terms were favorable relative to available market terms.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we had $19.0 million in non-cash investing and financing activities, the majority of which related to U.S. treasury bills that we received in connection with the sale of Nextel Argentina. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had the following non-cash investing and financing activities:

• $2,067.7 million in Successor Company common stock that we issued in partial satisfaction of certain claims that were settled in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 (see Note 2 for more information); and

• $187.5 million increase in restricted cash, which represents cash placed in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations in connection with the sale of Nextel Mexico.

We did not have any non-cash investing and financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Revenue-Based Taxes. We record revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes on a gross basis as a component of both service and other revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $9.3 million and $39.0 million in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $25.9 million and $77.1 million in revenue-based taxes and other excise taxes, respectively.

Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share. As presented for the six months ended June 30, 2015, our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share includes 0.3 million restricted common shares, but does not include any other potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the potential exercise of stock options issued under our stock-based employee compensation plans since their effect would have been antidilutive. As presented for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during those periods and does not include other potential common shares, including shares issuable upon the potential exercise of stock options under our stock-based employee compensation plans or restricted common shares issued under those plans since their effect would have been antidilutive.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we did not include 1.6 million stock options and 0.6 million restricted common shares in our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not include 4.8 million stock options in our calculation of diluted net income from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we did not include 9.4 million stock options and 8.8 million stock options, respectively, and 1.2 million restricted common shares for both periods, in our calculation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations

Sale of Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million, of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allows Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. The remaining cash consideration was received in October 2015. See Note 1 for more information on the sale of Nextel Argentina.

Sale of Nextel Mexico. On April 30, 2015, we completed the sale of Nextel Mexico to New Cingular Wireless, an indirect subsidiary of AT&T, for net proceeds of $1.448 billion, including $187.5 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims that may arise. This amount held in escrow is available for the indemnification of defined claims through April 2017. In October 2015, we received notification of certain tax-related claims for $9.1 million, and we intend to vigorously contest these claims. See Note 1 for more information on the sale of Nextel Mexico.

Sale of Nextel Chile. In August 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiaries NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L., NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L. and NII International Telecom S.C.A. completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextel Chile S.A., or Nextel Chile, to Fucata, S.A., a venture comprised of Grupo Veintitres and Optimum Advisors, for a de minimus amount.

Sale of Nextel Peru. In August 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiaries NII Mercosur Telecom, S.L. and NII Mercosur Moviles, S.L., completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nextel del Peru, S.A., or Nextel Peru, to Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. and one of its subsidiaries, Entel Inversiones, S.A., which we refer to collectively as Entel. Entel has provided notice of potential claims for amounts greater than the $34.4 million that remained in escrow as of September 30, 2015 to satisfy these claims. We believe that the requirements for payment of certain indemnification claims have not been met at this time, and we intend to vigorously contest these claims. As of September 30, 2015, we accrued an immaterial amount related to the potential settlement of these claims. The time period for additional claims against the amount held in escrow lapsed in February 2015.

In connection with the transactions discussed above, we have presented the results of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico, Nextel Chile and Nextel Peru as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, we reclassified Nextel Argentina's, Nextel Mexico's, Nextel Peru's and Nextel Chile's results of operations for all periods presented to reflect these entities as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts included in these notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements exclude amounts attributable to discontinued operations.

Note 5. Impairment and Restructuring Charges

Asset Impairments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil recognized $4.0 million and $27.8 million in non-cash asset impairment charges, the majority of which related to the shutdown or abandonment of certain transmitter and receiver sites that are no longer required in its business and retail store closures related to the realignment of distribution channels. Nextel Brazil also recognized $10.0 million and $11.2 million in asset impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the majority of which related to the shutdown of transmitter and receiver sites and retail store closures.

In September 2014, we evaluated strategic options for the next generation of our push-to-talk services and determined that, for one of these options, further development was no longer probable. As a result, we recognized a $42.8 million asset impairment charge at the corporate level.

In June 2014, we recognized a $6.4 million asset impairment charge at the corporate level related to the sale of our corporate aircraft.

Restructuring Charges.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $5.4 million in severance and other related costs at the corporate level as a result of the separation of employees in an effort to streamline our organizational structure and reduce general and administrative expenses. We also recognized $6.4 million and $19.5 million in severance and other related costs at the corporate level and in Brazil during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to similar streamlining and cost reduction efforts.

(Unaudited)

Throughout the Chapter 11 proceedings, the entire $4,350.0 million in NIIT and NII Capital Corp. senior notes was classified as liabilities subject to compromise. See Note 2 for more information.

Brazil Bank Loans. As of the December 31, 2014 measurement date, we were not in compliance with the net debt financial covenant included in each of Nextel Brazil's outstanding local bank loans. As a result, we classified these bank loans as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In February 2015, Nextel Brazil and the lenders providing the local bank loans entered into standstill agreements under which the lenders agreed that they would not seek remedies under the provisions of the agreements related to Nextel Brazil's failure to satisfy the financial covenants in the loan agreements in the period before September 15, 2015 and that further principal repayment obligations due between the signing date and September 15, 2015 would be suspended. In addition, the standstill agreements formally committed the lenders to sign further amendments to the terms of the local bank loans. Among other things, the amendments revised the financial covenants and principal repayment schedule for the loans, granted the lenders a security interest over amounts held in certain collection accounts maintained with each lender and increased the interest margin on the loans from approximately 115% of the local Brazilian borrowing rate to approximately 140% of this local rate. Certain of these amendments were implemented in connection with the standstill agreements and the remainder became effective in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings.

The amendments provide for a "covenant holiday" through December 31, 2015, during which time we are not required to comply with the financial covenants outlined in Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements. Thereafter, Nextel Brazil must maintain a net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, ratio over the trailing 12 months of no greater than 4.0 as of June 30, 2016, 3.5 as of December 31, 2016 and 2.5 as of June 30, 2017 and on each six-month anniversary thereafter.

In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we made a number of changes within our senior management team and modified our business plan to reflect our available cash resources and the impact of the current and expected economic conditions in Brazil on both our subscriber growth and revenues, and to align our costs with this revised outlook. Based on our current business plan, we believe that it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements at the June 30, 2016 measurement date.

If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these financing arrangements or secure waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements. As a result of this uncertainty, we have continued to classify the amounts outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had $230.0 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans.

Brazil Equipment Financing Facility. In December 2014, Nextel Brazil and the lender under the equipment financing facility agreed to amend this facility to remove all financial covenants beginning with the December 31, 2014 measurement date through the June 30, 2017 measurement date so that the first measurement date under the amended facility will be December 31, 2017. In exchange for that covenant relief, Nextel Brazil granted the lender preferential rights to the amounts held in certain bank accounts. Because of the uncertainty regarding our ability to meet the financial covenant contained in Nextel Brazil's local bank loans discussed above and certain cross-default provisions that are included in the loan agreement under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility, we have continued to classify the amount outstanding under this facility as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had $342.5 million in principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility. We do not have the ability to borrow additional amounts under this equipment financing facility.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements

Nextel Argentina.

As discussed further in Note 1, on September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million, of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allows Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire

(Unaudited)

the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. Pending receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals in Argentina, we issued a non-recourse promissory note in the amount of $85.0 million and pledged the remaining 51% of the equity interests in Nextel Argentina to Grupo Clarin. We recorded our retained 51% interest in Nextel Argentina as an equity method investment under the fair value option, which is included as a component of other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and, accordingly, we will record this investment at its market value at each reporting date. As of September 30, 2015, we estimated the fair value of this investment to be $96.8 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, we recorded the non-recourse promissory note as a component of other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value of $96.8 million. This fair value estimate was based on the $178.0 million purchase price paid by Grupo Clarin, as adjusted for changes in excess cash from September 11, 2015 through September 30, 2015. We included the respective changes in the fair value of the equity method investment and the promissory note as a component of other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2015. These changes in fair value were not material.

Financial Instruments.

Available-for-Sale Securities.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, available-for-sale securities included $36.5 million and $110.1 million, respectively, in short-term investments made by Nextel Brazil in investment funds and certificates of deposit. These funds invest primarily in Brazilian government bonds, long-term, low-risk bank certificates of deposit and Brazilian corporate debentures. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of September 30, 2015 were not material.

We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value. The fair value of the Brazilian securities is based on the net asset value of the funds. In our judgment, these types of securities trade with sufficient daily observable market activity to support a Level 1 classification within the fair value hierarchy.

Held-to-Maturity Investments.

We periodically invest some of our cash holdings in certain securities that we intend to hold to maturity. As of September 30, 2015, held-to-maturity investments included $18.1 million in short-term investments at NIIT in U.S. treasury bills. We account for held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost. We determined the fair value of our held-to-maturity investments in U.S. treasury securities based on quoted market prices for the individual instruments. These securities will mature in February 2016. In our judgment, these securities trade with sufficient daily observable market activity to support a Level 1 classification within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of our held-to-maturity investments was $18.1 million.

Debt Instruments.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our debt instruments are as follows:

_______________________________________

(1) As of December 31, 2014, both our senior notes held by NII Capital Corp. and our senior notes held by NIIT were classified as liabilities subject to compromise in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We estimated the fair values of our senior notes using quoted market prices. Because our fair value measurement is based on market prices in an active market, we consider this Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Bank loans and other consists primarily of loans with certain banks in Brazil. We estimated the fair value of these bank loans, as well as the fair value of our equipment financing facility in Brazil, utilizing inputs such as U.S. Treasury security yield curves, prices of comparable bonds, LIBOR, U.S. Treasury bond rates and credit spreads on comparable publicly traded bonds. We consider these measurements to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments.

We occasionally enter into derivative transactions for risk management purposes. We have not and will not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or profit generating purposes. We record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. As of September 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil had $4.9 million in derivative instruments that were classified as short-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and we consider this measurement to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Nextel Brazil entered into foreign currency option agreements to manage the foreign currency exposures associated with the forecasted purchase of handsets and other U.S. dollar-denominated payments. We do not apply hedge accounting to these derivative instruments. As a result, we have included all changes in the fair value of these instruments as a component of other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil recognized $3.1 million and $6.3 million in realized gains, respectively, resulting from the changes in the estimated fair value of these derivative instruments. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, Nextel Brazil recorded $3.2 million in unrealized gains and $1.3 million in unrealized losses, respectively, resulting from the changes in the estimated fair value of these derivative instruments.

Other Financial Instruments.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable contained in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Handset, Equipment and Other Commitments.

We are a party to purchase agreements with various suppliers under which we have committed to purchase handsets, equipment and network services that will be used or sold in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2015, we are committed to purchase $153.9 million under a handset purchase agreement with one of our handset suppliers by the end of 2016. We do not expect that we will purchase all of the committed devices, but we have not recorded a liability for this contract because we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a loss under this handset purchase agreement.

Brazilian Contingencies.

Nextel Brazil has received various assessment notices from state and federal Brazilian authorities asserting deficiencies in payments related primarily to value-added taxes, excise taxes on imported equipment and other non-income based taxes. Nextel Brazil has filed various administrative and legal petitions disputing these assessments. In some cases, Nextel Brazil has received favorable decisions, which are currently being appealed by the respective governmental authority. In other cases, Nextel Brazil's petitions have been denied, and Nextel Brazil is currently appealing those decisions. Nextel Brazil also had contingencies related to certain regulatory, civil and labor-related matters as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Nextel Brazil had accrued liabilities of $59.0 million and $69.7 million, respectively, related to contingencies, of which $5.3 million and $8.0 million related to unasserted claims, respectively. We currently estimate the reasonably possible losses related to matters for which Nextel Brazil has not accrued liabilities, as they are not deemed probable, to be approximately $285.0 million as of September 30, 2015. We evaluate the likelihood of probable and reasonably possible losses, if any, related to all known contingencies on an ongoing basis. As a result, future increases or decreases to our accrued liabilities may be necessary and will be recorded in the period when such amounts are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.

Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to claims and legal actions that may arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions will have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income sufficient to realize our tax loss carryforwards and other tax deductions. Valuation allowances are required to be recognized on deferred tax assets unless it is determined that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset will be realized. In 2014, we recorded full valuation allowances on the deferred tax assets of our foreign operating companies, our U.S. parent company and subsidiaries and our foreign holding companies due to substantial negative evidence such as the recent history of cumulative losses and the projected losses for 2015 and subsequent years. We maintained this same valuation allowance position through the first nine months of 2015.

Our emergence from Chapter 11 is not expected to have a significant impact on our net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal and state income tax purposes. However, the utilization of certain of our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards will be limited. The amount of any such limitation cannot be determined until December 31, 2015.

Note 10. Segment Reporting

We have determined our reportable segments based on our method of internal reporting, which disaggregates our business by geographic location. We evaluate performance of these segments and provide resources to them based on operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment and restructuring charges, which we refer to as segment earnings. Nextel Brazil is our only reportable operating segment.

Introduction

The following is a discussion and analysis of:

• our consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and our consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014; and

• significant factors which we believe could affect our prospective financial condition and results of operations.

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, the discussion regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, as described below. Historical results may not indicate future performance. See "Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements," "Item 1A. — Risk Factors" in our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K and "Item 1A. — Risk Factors" in Part II of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015 for risks and uncertainties that may impact our future performance. We refer to our remaining operating company as Nextel Brazil.

Business Update

Sale of Nextel Mexico. On April 30, 2015, we completed the sale of our operations in Mexico to New Cingular Wireless, an indirect subsidiary of AT&T. The transaction was structured as a sale of all the outstanding stock of Nextel Mexico for a purchase price of approximately $1.875 billion, including $187.5 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. The net proceeds of the sale were $1.448 billion, after deducting Nextel Mexico's outstanding indebtedness net of cash and applying other specified purchase price adjustments. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding principal and interest under a debtor-in-possession loan agreement we entered into prior to our emergence from Chapter 11 and to fund distributions to specified creditors pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. We plan to use the remaining net proceeds from this transaction to support our operations in Brazil. In connection with this sale, we have presented the results of Nextel Mexico for all periods as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings. On September 15, 2014, we and eight of our U.S. and Luxembourg-domiciled subsidiaries, including NII Capital Corp. and NII International Telecom, S.C.A., or NIIT, filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as Chapter 11, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which we refer to as the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, subsequent to September 15, 2014, five additional subsidiaries of NII Holdings, Inc. filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. We refer to the companies that filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 collectively as the Debtors. Our operating subsidiaries in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina were not debtors in these Chapter 11 cases.

As described in more detail in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, on June 19, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the Plan of Reorganization. On June 26, 2015, the conditions of the Bankruptcy Court's order and the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied, the Plan of Reorganization became effective, and we and the other Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings.

In accordance with the requirements of reorganization accounting, NII Holdings adopted the provisions of fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2015 and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. References to the "Successor Company" relate to NII Holdings on or subsequent to June 30, 2015. References to the "Predecessor Company" relate to NII Holdings prior to June 30, 2015.

Sale of Nextel Argentina. On September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million, of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allows Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. The remaining cash consideration was received in October 2015. We plan to use the net proceeds received from this transaction to provide additional liquidity to support our operations in Brazil. In connection with this transaction, we have presented Nextel Argentina's results for all periods as discontinued operations in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Changes at Corporate Headquarters. Because of the sales of our operations in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Peru, we now only operate in Brazil. As a result, we are taking steps to further streamline the expenses incurred at our corporate headquarters by shifting costs and associated responsibilities to Nextel Brazil. We will implement workforce reductions at our corporate headquarters in connection with this effort.

Business Overview

We provide wireless communication services under the Nextel^TM brand in Brazil with our principal operations located in major business centers and related transportation corridors. We provide services in major urban and suburban centers with high population densities where we believe there is a concentration of Brazil’s business users and economic activity. Historically, our services were targeted to meet the needs of business customers and individuals who used our services to meet both professional and personal needs. With the deployment of our wideband code division multiple access, or WCDMA, network in Brazil, our target market also includes consumers. Our target subscribers generally exhibit above average usage, revenue and loyalty characteristics. In Brazil, we believe our target market is attracted to the services and pricing plans we offer, as well as the quality of and data speeds provided by our WCDMA network. Our WCDMA network in Brazil enables us to offer a wide range of products and services supported by that technology, including data services provided at substantially higher speeds than can be delivered on our integrated digital enhanced, or iDEN network. We are currently offering services supported by our WCDMA network in approximately 260 cities in Brazil, including cities in and around Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We also offer long-term evolution, or LTE, services in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and continue to provide services on our iDEN network in Brazil.

The services we currently offer include:

• mobile telephone voice service;

• wireless data services, including text messaging services, mobile internet services and email services;

• push-to-talk services, including Direct Connect^®, Prip and International Direct Connect^® services, which allow subscribers to talk to each other instantly;

• other value-added services, including location-based services, which include the use of Global Positioning System, or GPS, technologies; digital media services; and a wide range of applications available via our content management system, as well as the Android^TM open application market;

• business solutions, such as security, work force management, logistics support and other applications that help our business subscribers improve their productivity; and

• voice and data roaming services outside of our coverage areas.

Our goal is to generate higher revenues and increase our subscriber base by providing differentiated wireless communications services that are valued by our existing and potential customers while improving our profitability and cash flow over the long term. Our strategy for achieving this goal is based on several core principles, including:

• focusing on higher value customer segments in our core markets, such as segments that comprise the small, medium and large business markets, as well as certain consumer market segments that value our differentiated wireless communications services;

• expanding our service offerings to meet the needs of a broader range of potential customers;

• offering a superior customer experience; and

• building on the strength of the unique positioning of the Nextel brand.

The costs of deploying and operating our WCDMA network and LTE upgrade in Brazil, combined with the cost of continuing to operate our iDEN network in Brazil, have negatively impacted our profitability and are expected to continue to have that impact as we expand our subscriber base on our WCDMA network and transition iDEN subscribers to that network in Brazil, but we believe that these costs are necessary to ensure the competitiveness of our service offerings.

We have implemented and will continue to implement changes in our business to better align our organization and costs with our operational and financial results and goals, as well as with the trends in our business. These changes have included changes to our leadership team in Brazil, as well as significant reductions in our headquarters staff through the reorganization of the roles and responsibilities of our headquarters and market teams and headcount reductions at the market level that are designed to reduce costs while maintaining the support necessary to meet our customers' needs.

As a result of the sale of Nextel Argentina in August 2015 and Nextel Mexico in April 2015, both of which followed the sale of Nextel Chile in August 2014 and Nextel Peru in August 2013, we plan to allocate almost all of our financial and other resources to our operations in Brazil going forward.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based on presently available information. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.

As described in more detail in our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we consider the following accounting policies to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations or policies that require us to exercise significant judgment and/or estimates:

• revenue recognition;

• allowance for doubtful accounts;

• depreciation of property, plant and equipment;

• amortization of intangible assets;

• valuation of long-lived assets;

• asset retirement obligations;

• foreign currency;

• loss contingencies; and

• income taxes.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to those discussed under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2014 annual report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

For purposes of comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 have been combined with the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. However, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and other events related to our reorganization under Chapter 11, the Successor Company's financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are prepared under a new basis of accounting and are not directly comparable to the Predecessor Company's financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the same reasons, our results of operations for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not fully comparable to our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., we translated Nextel Brazil's results of operations into U.S. dollars using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable period. The following tables present the average foreign currency exchange rates we used to translate Nextel Brazil's results of operations, as well as changes from the average foreign currency exchange rates utilized in prior periods.

	Successor Company	Predecessor Company	Actual Percent Change From Prior Year
	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2015	2014
Brazilian real	3.55	2.28	(56	)%

	Successor Company	Predecessor Company	Combined	Predecessor Company	Actual Percent Change From Prior Year
	Three Months Ended September 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,	Nine Months Ended September 30,	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015	2015	2015	2014
Brazilian real	3.55	2.97	3.16	2.29	(38	)%

30

Throughout 2014 and continuing through the first three quarters of 2015, the value of the Brazilian real fluctuated but generally depreciated in value relative to the U.S. dollar. The following table presents the foreign currency exchange rate in effect in Brazil at the end of each of the quarters in 2014, as well as at the end of the first three quarters of 2015. If the value of the Brazilian real continues to depreciate from current levels relative to the U.S. dollar, our future operating results and the values of our assets held in Brazilian reais will continue to be adversely affected.

	Predecessor Company						Successor Company
	2014				2015
	March	June	September	December	March	June	September
Brazilian real	2.26	2.20	2.45	2.66	3.21	3.10	3.97

To provide better insight into Nextel Brazil's results, as well as our results of operations on a consolidated basis, we present the year-over-year percentage change in each of the line items presented on a constant currency basis in the "Constant Currency Change from Previous Year" columns in the tables below. The comparison of results on a constant currency basis shows the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (i) by adjusting the relevant measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to amounts that would have resulted if the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were the same as the average foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015; and (ii) by comparing the constant currency financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the actual financial measures for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015. The constant currency information reflected in the tables below 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 results of operations.

We define segment (losses) earnings as operating (loss) income before depreciation, amortization and impairment and restructuring charges. Consolidated segment losses decreased $5.6 million, or 19%, and $56.7 million, or 29%, for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and include the results of operations of our Brazil segment and our corporate operations, which are discussed individually below.

1. Impairment and restructuring charges

Consolidated impairment and restructuring charges recognized in the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 primarily consisted of non-cash asset impairment charges related to the shutdown or abandonment of transmitter and receiver sites in Brazil and severance costs incurred at the corporate level resulting from the separation of employees in an effort to streamline our organizational structure and reduce general and administrative expenses.

Consolidated impairment and restructuring charges recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a $42.8 million asset impairment charge related to our decision to cease further development on one of the strategic options for the next generation of our push-to-talk services, a $17.6 million restructuring charge related to the cessation of utilization of certain network services in Brazil, and severance and related costs incurred in Brazil and at the corporate level resulting from the separation of employees in an effort to streamline our organization structure and reduce general and administrative expenses.

2. Depreciation and amortization

The $52.4 million, or 52%, and $101.2 million, or 33%, decreases in consolidated depreciation and amortization on a reported basis, and the 26% and 9% decreases on a constant currency basis, for the three- and combined nine- month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were principally the result of a decrease in the value

32

of Nextel Brazil's property, plant and equipment resulting from the implementation of fresh start accounting. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

3. Interest expense, net

Consolidated net interest expense decreased $79.0 million, or 73%, and $226.7 million, or 67%, on a reported basis, and 70% and 65% on a constant currency basis, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of the suspension of interest on all series of our senior notes in connection with our Chapter 11 filing and subsequent cancellation of these notes in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

4. Foreign currency transaction losses, net

Foreign currency transaction losses of $106.6 million and $170.6 million during the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 were the result of the impact of the depreciation in the value of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar on Nextel Brazil's U.S. dollar-denominated net liabilities.

5. Reorganization items

Reorganization items include all income, expenses, gains or losses that are incurred or realized as a result of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings, including the $1,775.8 million gain we recognized in connection with the settlement of our liabilities subject to compromise upon our emergence from Chapter 11 and a $248.7 million gain as a result of the implementation of fresh start accounting. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

We use the term "subscriber unit," which we also refer to as a subscriber, to represent an active subscriber identity module, or SIM, card, which is the level at which we track subscribers. The table below provides an overview of Nextel Brazil's subscriber units in commercial service on both its iDEN and WCDMA networks, as well as Nextel Brazil's customer turnover rates for each of the quarters in 2014 and for the first three quarters of 2015. We calculate customer turnover by dividing subscriber deactivations for the period by the average number of subscriber units during that period.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2015, migrations from iDEN to WCDMA included approximately 31,000 migrations which were not properly reported in prior quarters. This change in migrations did not impact total subscriber units at the end of any period presented.

The following table represents Nextel Brazil's average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, for subscribers on both its iDEN and WCDMA networks for each of the quarters in 2014, as well as for the first three quarters of 2015, in both U.S. dollars (US$) and in Brazilian reais (BR). We calculate ARPU by dividing service revenues per period by the weighted average number of subscriber units in commercial service during that period.

(1) The breakout of WCDMA and iDEN ARPU for the periods presented above changed from what we previously reported. Total ARPU amounts did not change from those previously reported.

The average value of the Brazilian real depreciated by 56% and 38% relative to the U.S. dollar during the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the average value that prevailed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a result, the components of Nextel Brazil's results of operations for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, after translation into U.S. dollars, reflect significantly lower revenues and expenses in U.S. dollars than would have occurred if the Brazilian real had not depreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. If the value of the Brazilian real remains at current levels or continues to further depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar, Nextel Brazil's future reported results of operations for 2015 will be adversely affected relative to its reported results of operations for 2014.

The economic environment in Brazil continues to reflect a significant downturn from prior years with low consumer confidence, negative real wage growth, a net loss of jobs and higher unemployment. Consumers in Brazil are also being impacted by rising costs of food and other essentials, with the inflation of food costs significantly exceeding both inflation levels experienced in 2014 and the consumer price index. These conditions and trends have resulted in a decline in the amount of consumer disposable income that is available to purchase telecommunications services and have had an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain subscribers and on our collection rates. We expect that the current economic and competitive conditions and weak foreign currency exchange rates will continue to have a negative impact on Nextel Brazil's reported results of operations for at least the remainder of 2015.

Nextel Brazil began offering a full range of voice and data services on its WCDMA network in late 2013, and since that time, has experienced substantial subscriber growth on its WCDMA network and a steady increase in its WCDMA ARPU in Brazilian reais through the end of 2014. Nextel Brazil's WCDMA subscriber units increased from 337.9 thousand subscribers as of January 1, 2014 to 2.6 million subscribers as of September 30, 2015. However, Nextel Brazil's WCDMA ARPU in Brazilian reais has decreased over the course of the last three quarters as a result of more intense competition in the wireless market and the economic factors discussed above. In the second and third quarters of 2015, Nextel Brazil implemented several new rate plans and promotions to improve the attractiveness of its service offerings, expand targeted customer segments and provide economic incentives to attract customers. Specifically, in June 2015, Nextel Brazil began offering new simplified rate plans that further encourage subscribers to utilize their existing handsets when purchasing Nextel Brazil's services, which generally result in similar or better ARPUs. In addition, in the third quarter of 2015, Nextel Brazil began offering other less expensive control service plans with lower available voice and data and no handset subsidy, which generally yield lower ARPUs but result in higher profitability. The mix of sales of these new service plans resulted in the stabilization of average ARPU during the third quarter of 2015, as well as shorter economic paybacks and higher overall profitability.

Nextel Brazil continues to offer services on its iDEN network, which does not support data services that are competitive with the higher speed data services offered by its competitors or available on its WCDMA network. As a result, Nextel Brazil has had to offer iDEN service plans with lower average revenues per subscriber to retain and attract high value subscribers on its iDEN network and offer incentives to transition those subscribers to services on its WCDMA network. Despite these efforts, Nextel Brazil has experienced net subscriber losses on, and, until the third quarter of 2015, declines in its average revenue per subscriber on its iDEN network, and we expect that these trends will continue.

During the first nine months of 2015, Nextel Brazil continued to invest in the development of its WCDMA network and in its LTE upgrade in Rio de Janeiro both to meet its regulatory obligations and to improve the capacity of its network. Nextel Brazil's capital expenditures were $116.5 million for the combined nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, which declined 16% from the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Despite implementing cost reductions in overall operating expenses, Nextel Brazil had a segment loss margin of 9% during the combined nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to a segment loss margin of 6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the cost reductions did not keep pace with the decline in service and other revenues in those periods. Nextel Brazil recognized segment losses of $10.8 million and $86.0 million during the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to segment earnings of $0.9 million and segment losses of $84.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as a result of the following:

1. Service and other revenues

The $169.4 million, or 39%, and $380.3 million, or 29%, decreases in service and other revenues on a reported basis during the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are primarily a result of the impact of weaker foreign currency exchange rates on our reported results. On a constant currency basis, Nextel Brazil's service and other revenues decreased 5% and 3% during the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to decreases in average revenues per subscriber.

Nextel Brazil's WCDMA subscriber base grew from 1.3 million subscribers as of September 30, 2014 to 2.6 million subscribers as of September 30, 2015 which led to $32.7 million and $219.2 million increases in Nextel Brazil's WCDMA-based service and other revenues from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015. This growth in Nextel Brazil's WCDMA subscriber base was partially offset by a decrease in its iDEN subscriber base from 2.9 million subscribers as of the end of the third quarter of 2014 to 1.9 million subscribers as of the end of the third quarter of 2015. In addition, Nextel Brazil experienced a decline in its iDEN-based average revenue per subscriber from $30 in the third quarter of 2014 to $17 in the third quarter of 2015. These changes resulted in $202.1 million and $625.7 million decreases in Nextel Brazil's iDEN-based service and other revenues from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015.

2. Handset and accessory net subsidy

The $36.6 million, or 78%, and $93.5 million, or 51%, decreases in handset and accessory net subsidy on a reported basis from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 are largely related to an increased emphasis on new service plans, particularly those under which services are provided to new subscribers using their existing handsets, as well as lower subsidies per handset. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, approximately 80% of Nextel Brazil's gross subscriber additions purchased services using their existing handsets compared to approximately 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in handset and accessory net subsidy from new service plans for the combined nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was partially offset by a $25.3 million charge for a reserve that Nextel Brazil recognized in the second quarter of 2015 related to certain tax credits generated as a result of handset purchases that we do not believe are probable of being recovered. On a constant currency basis, Nextel Brazil's handset and accessory net subsidy decreased 83% and 58% for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

3. Cost of service

The $60.2 million, or 35%, and $164.5 million, or 31%, decreases in cost of service on a reported basis for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are primarily caused by the impact of weaker foreign currency exchange rates described above. On a constant currency basis, Nextel Brazil's cost of service increased 1% from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter in 2015 and decreased 5% from the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the combined nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 primarily as the result of decreases in interconnect costs related to the changes in the regulated interconnect cost structure described below. These decreases were partially offset by increases in costs related to our nationwide roaming arrangement. In addition, on a constant currency basis, Nextel Brazil recognized significant cost savings in the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of insourcing certain engineering functions that were previously performed by third party service providers. Also, with the continuing decline in the number of iDEN subscribers in Nextel Brazil's subscriber base, Nextel Brazil's service and repair costs related to its iDEN handset maintenance program continue to decrease.

In 2012, Brazil's telecommunications regulatory agency approved regulations to implement a transition to a cost-based model for determining mobile termination rates. Under the current regulations, the mobile termination rates are being gradually reduced over a transition period ending in 2019, when cost-based rates will take effect. The transition rules also provide for a partial "bill and keep" settlement process that applies to the settlement of mobile termination charges between smaller operators like Nextel Brazil and its larger competitors (who are considered to hold significant market power under the Brazilian regulations), which further reduces mobile termination charges for smaller operators. The lower costs resulting from this partial bill and keep settlement process, which is similar to the settlement process that has historically applied to termination charges relating to our iDEN services, decline as mobile termination rates are reduced during the transition period, with the bill and keep settlement process terminating when cost-based rates are implemented.

4. Selling and marketing expenses

The $17.2 million, or 28%, and $55.6 million, or 27%, decreases in selling and marketing expenses on a reported basis during the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are largely due to the impact of weaker foreign currency exchange rates described above. On a constant currency basis, Nextel Brazil's selling and marketing expenses increased 12% and 1% in the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of more advertising campaigns related to Nextel Brazil's new service plan offerings.

5. General and administrative expenses

The $43.7 million, or 28%, and $65.0 million, or 14%, decreases in general and administrative expenses on a reported basis for the three- and combined nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are primarily due to the impact of weaker foreign currency exchange rates as described above. On a constant currency basis, Nextel Brazil's general and administrative expenses increased 12% and 18%, respectively, over the same periods as a result of increases in bad debt expense primarily caused by significant decreases in collections largely due to deteriorating economic conditions in Brazil, as well as higher costs related to civil contingencies initiated by customers. These increases were partially offset by decreases in customer care expenses on a local currency basis resulting from the outsourcing of Nextel Brazil's customer care function and a reduction in the volume of customer care calls received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current sources of funding include our cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances. As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital deficit, which is defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, of $78.8 million compared to working capital of $4.0 million as of December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, our working capital included $393.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1.3 million was held by Nextel Brazil in Brazilian reais. As of September 30, 2015, our working capital also included $54.6 million in short-term investments, the majority of which was held in Brazilian reais. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, we pledged $134.6 million as collateral to secure certain performance bonds relating to our obligations to deploy our WCDMA network in Brazil, of which we recorded $104.1 million as a component of other assets and the remaining $30.5 million of which we recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2015, we also had $220.9 million in cash held in escrow in connection with the sales of Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru, all of which we recorded as a component of other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

A substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held in money market funds and bank deposits, and our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments held in Brazilian reais are typically maintained in a combination of money market funds, highly liquid overnight securities and fixed income investments. The values of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments that are held in Brazilian reais will fluctuate in U.S. dollars based on changes in the exchange rate of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar.

The following is a discussion of the primary sources and uses of cash in our operating, investing and financing activities.

We used $64.9 million and $254.8 million of cash in our operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, primarily to fund operating losses. We used $796.2 million in our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily related to operating losses, the prepayment of certain costs associated with our roaming arrangement in Brazil and higher interest expense related to our senior notes that were extinguished in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11.

Our investing activities provided us with $37.2 million of cash during the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the sale of Nextel Argentina for which we received net cash proceeds of $140.9 million (excluding $18.1 million of U.S. treasury bills received as part of the proceeds), partially offset by $60.1 million of capital expenditures. Our investing activities provided us with $1,027.8 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the sale of Nextel Mexico for which we received net proceeds of $1.448 billion, including $187.5 million in cash deposited in escrow. The net proceeds from the sale of Nextel Mexico were partially offset by $88.5 million of capital expenditures and $20.0 million in deposits to secure certain performance bonds relating to our obligations to deploy our WCDMA network in Brazil. We used $170.7 million of cash in our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to $271.2 million in cash capital expenditures and a $131.0 million deposit to secure certain performance bonds relating to our obligations to deploy our WCDMA network in Brazil, partially offset by $517.6 million in net proceeds received from maturities of our short-term investments in Brazil and at the corporate level.

We used $25.2 million of cash in our financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2015, largely due to a principal repayment under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility. We used $778.2 million of cash in our financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, largely due to $745.2 million of cash distributions paid in settlement of certain claims in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11. We used $84.5 million of cash in our financing activities during the first nine months of 2014, largely due to $89.1 million in repayments of capital leases, primarily in connection with the sale of our corporate jet, and other borrowings, partially offset by $14.6 million in borrowings under our equipment financing facilities and other borrowings.

Future Capital Needs and Resources

Over the course of the last several years, our results of operations, including our operating revenues and operating cash flows, have been negatively affected by a number of factors, including competitive pressure across all of our markets, the overall depreciation of the value of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, the impact of previous delays in the deployment and launch of services on our WCDMA network and more recently, significant deterioration in economic conditions in Brazil. These and other factors resulted in a reduction in our subscriber growth and revenues at a time when our costs reflected the operation of both of our networks and had a significant negative impact on our results and our ability to grow our revenue base to a level sufficient to reach the scale required to generate positive operating income.

As a result, in 2014, we concluded that we were not able to maintain sufficient liquidity to support our business plan and repay our debts when they come due, including $4.35 billion of senior notes issued by NIIT and NII Capital Corp. On September 15, 2014, we and eight of our U.S. and Luxembourg-domiciled subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter

11 in the Bankruptcy Court. Subsequent to September 15, 2014, five additional subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court.

On June 19, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving and confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Proposed by the Plan Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, dated April 20, 2015. We refer to this plan, as amended, as the Plan of Reorganization. On June 26, 2015, the conditions of the Bankruptcy Court's order and the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied, the Plan of Reorganization became effective, and we and the other Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings. Our operating subsidiaries in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina were not debtors in the Chapter 11 cases. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the impact of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization.

On April 30, 2015, we completed the sale of our operations in Mexico to an indirect subsidiary of AT&T. The transaction was structured as a sale of all the outstanding stock of Nextel Mexico for a purchase price of $1.875 billion, including $187.5 million deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. The net proceeds of the sale were $1.448 billion, after deducting Nextel Mexico's outstanding indebtedness net of cash and applying other specified purchase price adjustments. We also used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Nextel Mexico to repay all outstanding principal and interest under a debtor-in-possession loan agreement we entered into during our Chapter 11 proceedings and to fund distributions to specified creditors pursuant to our Plan of Reorganization.

On September 11, 2015, two of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a binding agreement with Grupo Clarin relating to the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Nextel Argentina. This agreement provided for aggregate cash consideration of $178.0 million, of which $159.0 million was paid at signing in connection with the transfer of a 49% equity interest in Nextel Argentina and the grant of a call option that allows Grupo Clarin or any of its affiliates to acquire the remaining 51% equity interest in Nextel Argentina upon receipt of required approvals from the regulatory authorities in Argentina. The remaining cash consideration was received in October 2015.

We will use the proceeds received from the sale of Nextel Argentina, as well as the remaining net proceeds from the sale of Nextel Mexico, to fund our operations in Brazil.

Capital Resources.  Our ongoing capital resources depend on a variety of factors, including our existing cash, cash equivalents and investment balances, cash flows generated by our operating activities, cash that we recover from the amounts held in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations in connection with the sales of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru, external financial sources, other financing arrangements and the availability of cash proceeds from the sale of assets.

Our ability to generate sufficient net cash from our operating activities in the future is dependent upon, among other things:

• the amount of revenue we are able to generate and collect from our subscribers, including our ability to increase the size of our subscriber base;

• the amount of operating expenses required to provide our services;

• the cost of acquiring and retaining customers, including the subsidies we incur to provide handsets to both our new and existing subscribers; and

• changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Due to the impact of our recent and projected results of operations and other factors, we expect our access to the capital markets in the near term may be limited. See "— Future Outlook and Liquidity Plans"for more information.

Capital Needs and Contractual Obligations.  We currently anticipate that our future capital needs will principally consist of funds required for:

• operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to our existing network and the planned deployment of LTE in other commercial areas in Brazil;

• payments in connection with spectrum purchases, including ongoing spectrum license fees;

• debt service requirements;

• obligations relating to our tower financing arrangements and capital lease obligations;

• cash taxes; and

• other general corporate expenditures.

40

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, there were no material changes to our total contractual obligations as described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Capital Expenditures.  Our capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, were $48.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $150.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We have reduced our investments in capital expenditures, including making substantial reductions to our investments in network development and deployment. We expect these efforts to conserve our cash resources to continue, although we anticipate some increase in capital expenditures relating to investments in our network in Brazil over the remainder of the year.

Our capital spending and related expenses are expected to be driven by several factors, including:

• the amount we spend to enhance our WCDMA network in Brazil and deploy our planned LTE upgrades;

• the extent to which we expand the coverage of our network in new or existing market areas;

• the number of additional transmitter and receiver sites we build in order to increase system capacity, maintain system quality and meet our regulatory requirements, as well as the costs associated with the installation of network infrastructure and switching equipment; and

• the costs we incur in connection with non-network related information technology projects.

Our future capital expenditures may also be affected by future technology improvements, technology choices and our available capital.

Maintenance Covenants Under Financing Agreements. As of the December 31, 2014 measurement date, we were not in compliance with the net debt financial covenant included in each of Nextel Brazil's outstanding local bank loans. As a result, we classified these bank loans as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, we had $230.0 million principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans. As discussed in more detail in Note 1 and Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to meet a net debt financial covenant included in the local bank loan agreements that will apply semiannually beginning on June 30, 2016. Based on our current business plan, we believe that it is unlikely that we will satisfy the applicable financial covenant included in both of Nextel Brazil's local bank loan agreements at the June 30, 2016 measurement date. If we are unable to develop or implement changes to our business that allow us to meet this covenant, we will need to refinance or negotiate amendments to these financing arrangements or secure waivers from the lenders in order to avoid a potential default under the loan agreements. If a default occurs, the lenders could require us to repay the amounts outstanding under these arrangements. As a result of this uncertainty, we have continued to classify the amounts outstanding under Nextel Brazil's local bank loans as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015.

In December 2014, Nextel Brazil and the lender under the equipment financing facility agreed to amend this facility to remove all financial covenants beginning with the December 31, 2014 measurement date through the June 30, 2017 measurement date so that the first measurement date under the amended facility will be December 31, 2017. In exchange for that covenant relief, Nextel Brazil granted the lender preferential rights to the amounts held in certain bank accounts. As of September 30, 2015, we had $342.5 million in principal amount outstanding under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility. Because of the uncertainty regarding our ability to meet the financial covenant contained in Nextel Brazil's local bank loans discussed above and certain cross-default provisions that are included in the loan agreement under Nextel Brazil's equipment financing facility, we have continued to classify the amount outstanding under this facility as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015.

Future Outlook and Liquidity Plans.  In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we made a number of changes within our senior management team and modified our business plan to reflect our available cash resources and the impact of the current and expected economic conditions in Brazil on both our subscriber growth and revenues, and to align our costs with this revised outlook. Our current sources of funding are our cash and investments on hand; the ultimate amount recovered from cash currently held in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations in connection with the sales of Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru; the return of cash pledged as collateral to secure certain performance bonds relating to our obligations to deploy our spectrum in Brazil; and funds generated from our operations. Assuming the availability of these funding sources, and if we are successful in making the necessary changes to our business that are factored into our revised business plan, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to continue to fund our business for the next two years.

If we do not meet the results in our revised business plan, or if anticipated funding sources are not available to us, including the release of cash held in escrow, it is likely that we would need to obtain additional funding in the next twelve to eighteen months. We believe that the uncertainties relating to our business, together with the restrictions in our current financing arrangements and general conditions in the financial and credit markets, may make it challenging for us to obtain additional funding. In addition,

41

the cost of any additional funding that we may require, if available, could be both significant and higher than the cost of our existing financing arrangements. Our inability to obtain suitable financing if and when it is required for these or other reasons could, among other things, negatively impact our results of operations and liquidity.

In making the assessment of our funding needs and the adequacy of our current sources of funding, we have considered:

• cash and cash equivalents on hand and short-term investments available to fund our operations;

• restricted cash currently held in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations in connection with the transactions involving Nextel Argentina, Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru;

• the future return of cash pledged as collateral to secure certain performance bonds relating to our obligations to deploy our spectrum in Brazil;

• cash proceeds from sales of assets, including the potential sale of additional transmitter and receiver sites in Brazil;

• expected cash flows from our operation in Brazil;

• the cost of purchasing spectrum, the financing available to fund such purchases, and timing of spectrum payments, including ongoing fees for spectrum use;

• the anticipated level of capital expenditures required to meet both minimum build-out requirements and our planned deployment of the WCDMA network in Brazil, as well as our planned deployment of LTE in other commercial areas in Brazil;

• our scheduled debt service obligations;

• our other contractual obligations; and

• cash income and other taxes.

In addition to the factors described above, the anticipated cash needs of our business, as well as the conclusions presented herein regarding our liquidity needs, could change significantly:

• based on the continued development of our business plans and strategy;

• if we decide to expand into new markets or expand our geographic coverage or network capacity in our existing markets beyond our current plans, as a result of the construction of additional portions of our network or the acquisition of competitors or others;

• if currency values in Brazil depreciate or appreciate relative to the U.S. dollar in a manner that is more significant than we currently expect and assume as part of our plans;

• if economic conditions in Brazil do not improve;

• if competitive practices in the mobile wireless telecommunications industry in Brazil changes materially from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated; or

• if other presently unexpected circumstances arise that have a material effect on the cash flow or profitability of our business.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards issued during the three months ended September 30, 2015 that materially impacted our condensed consolidated financial statements or could materially impact our financial statements or related disclosures in a future period.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements regarding expectations, including forecasts regarding operating results, performance assumptions and estimates relating to capital requirements, as well as other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by such words or phrases as “we expect,” “we believe,” “would be,” “will allow,” “expects to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, and a variety of facts could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements. We do not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by law.

While we provide forward-looking statements to assist in the understanding of our anticipated future financial performance, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date that we make them. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release any updates to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including unforeseen events.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and results of our business include, but are not limited to:

• our ability to attract and retain customers;

• our ability to satisfy the requirements of our debt obligations;

• our ability to access sufficient debt or equity capital to meet any future operating and financial needs;

• our ability to meet established operating goals and generate cash flow;

• the availability of other funding sources, including the proceeds from the sales of Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru held in escrow and proceeds derived from other asset sales;

• general economic conditions in the U.S. or in Latin America, including specifically in Brazil and in the market segments that we are targeting for our services, including the impact of uncertainties in global economic conditions;

• the political and social conditions in Brazil, including political instability, which may affect Brazil's economy and the regulatory scheme there;

• the impact of foreign currency exchange rate volatility in the local currency in Brazil when compared to the U.S. dollar and the impact of related currency depreciation in Brazil;

• our having reasonable access to and the successful performance of the technology being deployed in our service areas, and improvements thereon, including technology deployed in connection with the introduction of digital two-way mobile data or internet connectivity services in our markets;

• the availability of adequate quantities of system infrastructure and subscriber equipment and components at reasonable pricing to meet our service deployment and marketing plans and customer demand;

• risks related to the operation and expansion of our WCDMA network in Brazil, including the potential need for additional funding to support enhanced coverage and capacity, and the risk that new services supported by the WCDMA network will not attract enough subscribers to support the related costs of deploying or operating the network;

• our ability to successfully scale our billing, collection, customer care and similar back-office operations to keep pace with customer growth as necessary, increased system usage rates and growth or to successfully deploy new systems that support those functions;

• future legislation or regulatory actions relating to our services, other wireless communications services or telecommunications generally and the costs and/or potential customer impacts of compliance with regulatory mandates;

• the ability to achieve and maintain market penetration and average subscriber revenue levels sufficient to provide financial viability to our network business;

• the quality and price of similar or comparable wireless communications services offered or to be offered by our competitors, including providers of cellular services and personal communications services;

• market acceptance of our new service offerings;

43

• our ability to successfully manage and support our legacy iDEN network in Brazil;

• equipment failure, natural disasters, terrorist acts or other breaches of network or information technology security; and

• other risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors," in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and, from time to time, in our other reports filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, there were no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of September 30, 2015, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management teams in the United States and in Brazil, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in our Brazil segment. The material weakness we identified, which is more fully described in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, relates to an aggregation of control deficiencies in Brazil resulting from Nextel Brazil's failure to establish an effective control environment and monitoring activities, including an organization structure with sufficiently trained resources where supervisory roles, responsibilities and monitoring activities are aligned with our financial reporting objectives. Our remediation efforts related to this material weakness are ongoing, and our current efforts are focused on hiring and developing personnel within Nextel Brazil's accounting department and enhancing monitoring activities.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The sales of Nextel Mexico and Nextel Argentina were completed on April 30, 2015 and September 11, 2015, respectively. We have evaluated the level of precision at which controls in our remaining segment must operate in order to prevent or detect a material misstatement in light of the decrease in the size of our operations.

44

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
