marioc21 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sprint will report it's earnings for Q1 of 2014 tomorrow morning. The earnings call will be at 8am ET. If you'd like to listen the audio will be available here: http://investors.sprint.com/calendar.aspx?iid=4057219 Well, results are out. Smaller net loss than expected. But postpaid losses were 231,000 subs while prepaids were a loss of 364,000. Not great. Here's the press release. http://bit.ly/1h9ux4t 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paynefanbro Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm nervous. Hopefully it was better than Q4 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiblur Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I am curious to see the adds with the tablets removed again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitwatch889 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 If they are reporting that early before the market officially opens I can only think good things. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioc21 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 If they are reporting that early before the market officially opens I can only think good things. Right? Not really. Sprint always reports before the market opens. All their earnings calls tend to happen at about 8 or maybe 830.

Mr.Nuke Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 If they are reporting that early before the market officially opens I can only think good things. Right? Sprint always reports before the market opens. No company reports earnings during trading hours. It is either before or typically right after the close of a trading day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiblur Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Listening this morning and I'm sure these investors are going...excuses about market completion and tower upgrades again about churn? EDIT: Wasn't expecting the loss with Framily newness and the tablet adds. Figured that would offset the issues with people leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wasn't expecting a total subscriber gain this quarter. Not at all. Not even with Framily. I think the losses will reduce until Q4 2014, when I believe they'll start adding again.

They've still got some big holes in the network that need plugging first. Its unfortunate they haven't taken a much more aggressive stance on them or even applied a band-aid to mitigate them at times. Once they get things patched up the markets will start to turn around possibly within in 12-18 months with customer trends. Hopefully they just keep bulldozing through it and continue to invest in the network, new sites, etc as it will pay off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavendano Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Let's hope or we'll be shopping for a new cell carrier... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk I recall reading that Dan said mid 2014 would be Sprints time to shine. Not sure if he pushed that timeframe back on this call but if thats not the case it wont be long. Edited April 29, 2014 by cavendano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioc21 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 So far in pre-market trading Sprint's stock is up about 3.5%. The market seems to be ok with sub losses as long as revenue and net losses are shrinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffDTD Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would be interested to understand what the average sprint data usage of the churning customers looks like. My fear is that it is lower than sprints typical metric. Make no mistake, the price aggressions from sprints competitors is playing a role in the churn. Its not 100% network disturbance. I worry that as sprint churns its course through 2014, we are losing more profitable "light to moderate" data users and hanging on to the hogs. The time to bask in the glory of NV 1.0 is also gone. Its all Spark now and it cant wait 3 or 4 years.

bigsnake49 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's no secret what Sprint has to do. Finish 1900Mhz and 800Mhz and follow up with Spark where the other two deployments are finished. At the same time implement their alliance with the rural carriers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I do believe before all of this is finished tmobile might be the number 3 carrier. Crazy just thinking about it. Sprint is not moving slow but they are just not moving fast enough. Competition is not going to just let them deploy Spark and do nothing.

Terrell352 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 True. But with vendors like Ericsson how long is this going to take? 1-2 years? It's no secret what Sprint has to do. Finish 1900Mhz and 800Mhz and follow up with Spark where the other two deployments are finished. At the same time implement their alliance with the rural carriers.

JimBob Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Finishing NV 1.0 and aggressively rolling out NV 2.0 is a must, but Sprint's success is also dependent on whether AT&T and Verizon lower their price per GB in an escalating price war.
