Sprint’s consolidated assets of $42.5 billion reflect an increase of $1.2 billion in the 2005 year-to-date period from 2004 year-end. Cash and equivalents increased $2.1 billion. Cash from operations, which included the receipt of $1.2 billion in prepaid tower rentals from Global Signal, exceeded debt service requirements, capital expenditures and dividend payments. Additionally, Sprint received approximately $200 million from the sale of the conferencing operation. Net property, plant, and equipment decreased $483 million. Capital expenditures were more than offset by depreciation expense in the 2005 year-to-date period.

Financial Condition


 

Sprint’s consolidated assets of $41.3 billion reflect a decrease of $1.4 billion in 2004. Cash and equivalents increased $2.1 billion as cash provided by operations and proceeds from the equity unit forward purchase contracts exceeded capital expenditures, debt payments and dividend payments. Accounts receivable, net, increased $231 million due to a higher Wireless subscriber base. The current deferred tax asset increased by $1.0 billion to reflect the expected utilization of NOL carryforwards in 2005. Net property, plant and equipment decreased $4.5 billion due to the $3.5 billion long distance network asset impairment, as well as depreciation expense that exceeded capital expenditures by $733 million. Other non-current assets decreased by $266 million primarily due to decreases in investments in debt and equity securities and Sprint’s investment in Virgin Mobile USA.

The Sprint debt-to-total-capital ratio was 55.5% at year-end 2004 versus 58.9% at year-end 2003. This improvement at year-end 2004 primarily reflects the conversion of the equity unit notes and additional debt reductions, partially offset by the 2004 net loss and increased dividends.
