This presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of securities laws. The statements in this presentation regarding the business outlook and expected performance as well as other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The words "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," "believe," "target" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are estimates and projections reflecting management's judgments based on currently available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date indicated. Sprint is not obligated to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of any news release or unforeseen events. With respect to these forward-looking statements, Sprint has made assumptions regarding, among other things, customer and network usage, customer growth and retention, pricing, costs to acquire customers and to provide services, the timing of various events and the economic environment.
