 _________________
(1)
Inter-segment revenues consist primarily of wireline services provided to the Wireless segment for resale to or use by wireless subscribers.
(2)
Impairments for the Successor year ended March 31, 2015 consist of a $1.9 billion trade name impairment related to the Wireless segment and a $233 million impairment related to Wireline long-lived assets.
(3)
Other, net for the Successor year ended March 31, 2016 consists of $409 million of severance and exit costs, combined with $193 million for legal reserves related to various pending legal suits and proceedings and a $166 million loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment related to cell site construction costs and other network costs that are no longer recoverable as a result of changes in the Company's network plans, partially offset by $20 million of income resulting from a revision to our estimate of a previously recorded reserve. Losses totaling approximately $321 million relating to the write-off of leased devices associated with lease cancellations of $256 million and the loss on sale of devices to MLS under the Handset Sale-Leaseback Tranche 1 transaction for $65 million were excluded from Other, net and included within Wireless segment earnings. Other, net for the Successor year ended March 31, 2015 consists of $304 million of severance and exit costs, combined with $91 million for legal reserves related to various pending legal suits and proceedings and $59 million for a partial pension settlement, partially offset by $41 million of income resulting from a revision to our estimate of a previously recorded reserve. Other, net for the Successor three-month transition period ended March 31, 2014 consists of $52 million of severance and exit costs and a $75 million loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment related to network equipment assets no longer necessary for management's strategic plans. Other, net for the Successor year ended December 31, 2013 consists of $309 million of severance and exit costs and $100 million of business combination fees paid to unrelated parties in connection with the transactions with SoftBank and Clearwire ($75 million included in our corporate segment and $25 million included in our wireless segment and classified as selling, general and administrative expenses), partially offset by $7 million of insurance reimbursement towards 2012 hurricane-related charges (included in our wireless segment and classified as a contra-expense in cost of services expense). Other, net for the Predecessor 191-day period ended July 10, 2013 and unaudited three-month period ended March 31, 2013 consists of $652 million and $25 million, respectively, of severance and exit costs, partially offset by $22 million of favorable developments in connection with an E911 regulatory tax-related contingency. Other, net for the Predecessor 191-day period ended July 10, 2013 also includes $53 million of business combination fees paid to unrelated parties in connection with the transactions with SoftBank and Clearwire (included in our corporate segment and classified as selling, general and administrative expenses).
