NII HOLDINGS ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2012 RESULTS


•	Net subscriber additions of 260,000


•	Consolidated operating revenues of $1.63 billion


•	Consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) of $358 million


•	Consolidated operating income of $188 million and consolidated net income of $11 million

Reston, Va. — April 26, 2012 — NII Holdings, Inc. [NASDAQ: NIHD] today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2012. During the quarter, the Company added 260,000 net subscribers to its network, bringing its ending subscriber base to more than 10.9 million, a 16 percent increase compared to the subscriber base as of March 31, 2011. Financial results for the quarter included consolidated operating revenues of $1.63 billion, in-line with the level reported in the first quarter of 2011, and consolidated OIBDA of $358 million, a 17 percent decline compared to the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2012, the Company generated consolidated operating income of $188 million and consolidated net income of $11 million, or $0.06 per basic share.

The Company continues to invest in the deployment of its planned third generation (3G) networks and in additional capacity of its current networks. Consolidated first quarter 2012 capital expenditures were $234 million. During the quarter, the Company completed enhancements to its 3G Push-to-Talk (PTT) services in Peru and has announced the upcoming availability of several 3G handsets, including its first 3G smart phone, in all of its retail locations in Peru.

“Our consolidated operating results for the first quarter reflect our progress on our key priorities that support our long-range business goals and the challenges we are facing in some of our markets. We are striving to generate the best balance of growth and profitability as we invest for our future,” said Steve Dussek, NII Holdings' chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we made progress toward launching our planned 3G networks and investing in our distribution channels and support systems. We also completed enhancements to our 3G PTT service, and we are ready to move forward with the broader launch of 3G services in Peru beginning in May.”

NII Holdings' consolidated average monthly service revenue per subscriber (ARPU) was $42 for the first quarter of 2012, down more than $7 compared to the same period last year, driven by year-over-year weakening in average currency exchange rates and declines in local currency ARPU related to an increase in the number of customers with lower rate service plans. The Company also reported churn of 2.07 percent for the first quarter, up 46 basis points from the level reported for the same period last year resulting primarily from higher churn levels in Brazil and Mexico. Consolidated cost per gross add (CPGA) was $283 for the first quarter, a $3 decrease compared to the first quarter of 2011, resulting from lower advertising and marketing expenses.

The Company ended the quarter with $4.7 billion in total debt and $2.3 billion in consolidated cash and investments, resulting in net debt of $2.4 billion.

“2012 is a transformational year for our business, and we are taking a balanced approach in our pursuit of profitable growth during this transitional period,” said Gokul Hemmady, NII's executive vice president, chief financial officer and chief transformation officer. “Our results for the period were affected by a number of factors including an increase in operating expenses relating to the deployment of our 3G networks and pricing pressures driven by a challenging competitive environment in Brazil. While we expect that these conditions will continue to impact our financial results

for the remainder of the year, we are committed to implementing strategies designed to improve our operating performance and that enable us to reach our goals. We remain confident that the investments we are making in our business and our new networks will create value over the long-term by positioning NII to pursue a much broader group of customers and to serve those customers more profitably with a wider range of products and services.”

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011

(UNAUDITED)

Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization

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

Average Monthly Revenue Per Handset/Unit in Service (ARPU)

Average monthly revenue per handset/unit in service, or ARPU, is an industry term that measures service revenues, which we refer to as subscriber revenues, per period from our customers divided by the weighted average number of handsets in commercial service during that period. ARPU is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, may not be similar to ARPU measures of other companies and should be considered in addition, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations. We believe that ARPU provides useful information concerning the appeal of our rate plans and service offerings and our performance in attracting and retaining high value customers. Other revenue includes revenues for such services as roaming, handset maintenance, cancellation fees, analog and other. ARPU can be calculated and reconciled to our consolidated statement of operations as follows (in millions, except ARPU):

Cost per Gross Add (CPGA)

Cost per gross add, or CPGA, is an industry term that is calculated by dividing our selling, marketing and handset and accessory subsidy costs, excluding costs unrelated to initial customer acquisition, by our new subscribers during the period, or gross adds. CPGA is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, may not be similar to CPGA measures of other companies and should be considered in addition, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations. We believe CPGA is a measure of the relative cost of customer acquisition. CPGA can be calculated and reconciled to our consolidated statements of operations as follows (in millions, except CPGA):

Net Debt

Net debt represents total debt less cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments. Net debt to consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization represents net debt divided by consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization. Prior to 2008, we calculated net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. In the second quarter of 2010, we extended the permissible investment maturity dates for cash investments, which resulted in the classification of some of our cash investments as long-term investments. As a result, we now include the cash in long-term investments to the items subtracted from total debt to calculate net debt. Net debt is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, may not be similar to net debt measures of other companies and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our balance sheets. We believe that net debt and net debt to consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization provide useful information concerning our liquidity and leverage. Net debt as of March 31, 2012 can be calculated as follows (in millions):



NII Holdings, Inc.
Total debt	$	4,710.1
Add: debt discounts	27.5
Less: cash and cash equivalents	2,046.7
Less: short-term investments	289.9
Net debt	$	2,401.0

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations

The following table shows the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2012 by (i) adjusting the relevant measures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to levels that would have resulted if the average foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were the same as the average foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2012; and (ii) comparing the actual and adjusted financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to the similar financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to show the percentage change in those measures before and after taking those adjustments into account. The amounts reflected in the following table for operating income before depreciation and amortization on a consolidated basis and segment earnings for Nextel Brazil, Nextel Mexico and Nextel Argentina, before the adjustments for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, are based on the calculations contained elsewhere in these non-GAAP reconciliations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The average foreign currency exchange rates for each of the relevant currencies during each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are included in the notes to the table below. The information reflected in the following table is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations. We believe that these calculations provide useful information concerning our relative performance for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 by removing the impact of the significant difference in the average foreign currency exchange rates in effect for those periods.
