| (1) | The developments discussed above resulted in, among other things, our review of communication tower lease obligations related to our 5G Network, through which we determined we will no longer take on any new communication tower leases, including those under our take or pay arrangements with certain vendors. Consequently, all future cash flows associated with certain communication tower leases not previously commenced under the take or pay arrangements were attributed to existing leases and certain lease liabilities were remeasured and we recorded $1.284 billion as an ROU asset and liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025, and the ROU assets associated with such remeasured leases were impaired in the same period. As a result, a one-time charge for variable lease payment expense resulting from this remeasurement event of $457 million, which is included in “Prepaids and other,” and “Operating lease assets” related to our 5G Network was recorded in "Impairments and other" on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). |
| (2) | Exit and disposal costs include, among other things, one-time employee termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts that are not a lease and other exit and disposal costs. |
