Capex at $364 million for the quarter on revenues of $4,358 million. Capex only 8% of revenues

In contrast....PCS spent $655 million in capex on revenues of $2.05 billion. They kept guidance for total capex at $3.5 billion for the year. The two key metrics for PCS are churn and ARPU. Churn declined from 2.9% last year to 2.5% and ARPU increased 6% YoY.

I know capex isn't 1:1 related to net income but one would expect them to at least move inversely to each other.

Actually, although spending on capex naturally affects a company's free cash flow, it does nothing to bring down its net income, pro forma or otherwise.

Hi Mike,

There were two capex figures mentioned, $1.12B globally, and $364 in US. The basic plan for the wear was $6.2B global capital investment. I took the notes during the call, and double checked after posting to SI. Sorry that the $364M number I posted was wrong.

Falling voice revenue is key to Sprint's broadband moves.
