CROWN CASTLE INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-Unaudited

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


1.	General

The information contained in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and related notes thereto, included in the 2012 Form 10-K filed by Crown Castle International Corp. ("CCIC") with the SEC. All references to the "Company" include CCIC and its subsidiary companies unless otherwise indicated or the context indicates otherwise.

The Company owns, operates and leases shared wireless infrastructure, including: (1) towers, (2) DAS, a type of small cell network, and (3) third party land interests. The Company conducts operations through subsidiaries of CCOC, including (1) certain subsidiaries which operate wireless infrastructure portfolios in the United States, including Puerto Rico ("U.S." or "CCUSA") and (2) a 77.6% owned subsidiary that operates towers in Australia (referred to as "CCAL"). The Company's core business is providing access, including space or capacity, to (1) its approximately 31,600 towers (of which approximately 29,900 towers are in CCUSA and approximately 1,700 towers are in CCAL) and, to a lesser extent, to (2) its small cell networks, and (3) third party land interests, to wireless communication companies via long-term contracts in various forms. As further discussed in the 2012 Form 10-K, approximately 12,700 of the Company's towers are leased or operated under master leases and subleases.

To a lesser extent, the Company also provides certain network services relating to its wireless infrastructure, consisting of (1) customer equipment installation and subsequent augmentation (collectively, "installation services") and (2) the following additional site development services relating to existing and new antenna installations on its wireless infrastructure: site acquisition, architectural and engineering, zoning and permitting, other construction and network development related services.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2013, and the consolidated results of operations and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3.	Acquisitions

NextG Networks Acquisition

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for the NextG Acquisition. The final purchase price allocation is approximately the same as the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

T-Mobile Acquisition

In September 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with T-Mobile to acquire the exclusive rights to lease, operate or otherwise acquire approximately 7,100 T-Mobile towers for approximately $2.5 billion. On November 30, 2012, the Company closed on the T-Mobile Acquisition. Upon closing, the Company obtained the exclusive right to lease and operate the T-Mobile towers (that are otherwise not owned by the Company). See the 2012 Form 10-K for further discussion of the terms of the T-Mobile lease including the purchase option. The Company utilized cash on hand, inclusive of the proceeds from the 5.25% Senior Notes, and borrowings from the 2012 Revolver to fund the T-Mobile Acquisition.

The purchase price and the purchase price allocation for the T-Mobile Acquisition is not finalized as of June 30, 2013. As such, the preliminary purchase price allocation presented below is based upon a preliminary valuation which is subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during calendar 2013, including with respect to fixed assets, intangible assets, deferred taxes and certain liabilities. The principal changes in the preliminary purchase price allocation between December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 relate to (1) a $31.2 million increase in property and equipment, (2) a $45.0 million increase to the above-market lease deferred credit, and (3) a corresponding increase in goodwill. The effect of the change in the preliminary purchase price allocation on the Company's Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) is immaterial to the periods presented. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the T-Mobile Acquisition, as of June 30, 2013, is shown below.



	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
	Presented June 30, 2013
Current assets	$	17,854
Property and equipment	1,490,594
Goodwill^(a)	438,758

Deferred income tax assets	207,929
Below-market tenant leases and other non-current liabilities^(b)	(76,349		)
Net assets acquired	$	2,485,786


(a)	The preliminary purchase price allocation for the T-Mobile Acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill at CCUSA primarily because of the anticipated growth opportunities in the tower portfolio. In addition, $371.3 million is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.


(b)	Inclusive of above-market leases for land interests under the Company's towers.

(a)	Represents the weighted-average stated interest rate.


(b)	As of June 30, 2013, the undrawn availability under the $1.5 billion 2012 Revolver is $454.0 million.

(c)

The 2012 Revolver and the Term Loan A bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.75%, based on CCOC's total net leverage ratio. In April 2013, the Company refinanced the outstanding Term Loan B with a new loan pursuant to our existing credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $1.58 billion. The terms of the new Term Loan B are substantially the same as the terms of the refinanced Term Loan B and effectively lowered the rate on the loan by 75 basis points. Term Loan B currently bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% to 2.5% (with LIBOR subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum), based on CCOC's total net leverage ratio.

(d)

If the respective series of the January 2010 Tower Revenue Notes and August 2010 Tower Revenue Notes are not paid in full on or prior to 2015, 2017 and 2020, as applicable, then Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the indenture) of the issuers (of such notes) will be used to repay principal of the applicable series and class of the 2010 Tower Revenue Notes, and additional interest (of approximately 5% per annum) will accrue on the respective 2010 Tower Revenue Notes. The January 2010 Tower Revenue Notes consist of three series of notes with principal amounts of $300.0 million, $350.0 million and $1.3 billion, having anticipated repayment dates in 2015, 2017 and 2020, respectively. The August 2010 Tower Revenue Notes consist of three series of notes with principal amounts of $250.0 million, $300.0 million and $1.0 billion, having anticipated repayment dates in 2015, 2017 and 2020, respectively.


(e)	The 2009 Securitized Notes consist of $119.1 million of principal as of June 30, 2013 that amortizes through 2019, and $70.0 million of principal as of June 30, 2013 that amortizes during the period beginning in 2019 and ending in 2029.

(f)

The anticipated repayment date is 2015 for each class of the WCP Securitized Notes. If the WCP Securitized Notes are not repaid in full by their anticipated repayment dates, the applicable interest rate increases by an additional approximately 5% per annum. If the WCP Securitized Notes are not repaid in full by their rapid amortization date of 2017, monthly principal payments commence using the excess cash flows of the issuers of the WCP Securitized Notes.


(g)	The 2012 Secured Notes consist of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.381% secured notes due 2017 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.849% secured notes due 2023.

5.	Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company's effective rate differed from the federal statutory rate predominately due to state taxes of $14.3 million, including the impact of certain subsidiaries without state income tax filing requirements incurring taxable losses for which no state benefit could be recorded. As further discussed in our 2012 Form 10-K, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company's effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate predominately due to its reversal of a total of $70.1 million of federal and $20.0 million of state valuation allowances to the benefit (provision) for income taxes.

6.	Fair Value Disclosures



	Level in Fair Value Hierarchy	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Level in Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	1	$	126,886	$	126,886	$	441,364	$	441,364
Restricted cash, current and non-current	1	166,541		166,541		580,938		580,938
Liabilities:
Long-term debt and other obligations	2	10,788,522		11,107,927		11,611,242		12,438,032

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate the carrying value. The Company determines fair value of its debt securities based on indicative, non-binding quotes from brokers. Quotes from brokers require judgment and are based on the brokers' interpretation of market information including implied credit spreads for similar borrowings on recent trades or bid/ask prices or quotes from active markets if available. There were no changes since December 31, 2012 in the Company's valuation techniques used to measure fair values.


7.	Per Share Information

Basic net income (loss) attributable to CCIC common stockholders, after deduction of dividends on preferred stock, per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders after deduction of dividends on preferred stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) attributable to CCIC common stockholders, after deduction of dividends on preferred stock, per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders, after deduction of dividends on preferred stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potential dilutive common share equivalents as determined under the if-converted method. The Company's restricted stock awards are considered participating securities and may be included in the computation pursuant to the two-class method. However, the Company does not present the two-class method when there is no difference between the per share amount under the two-class method and the treasury stock method.



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders	$	52,359	$	116,013	$	67,821	$	166,044

Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC common stockholders after deduction of dividends on preferred stock for basic and diluted computations	$	52,359	$	116,013	$	67,821	$	163,415
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands):
Basic weighted-average number of common stock outstanding	291,225		290,649		291,164		287,781
Effect of assumed dilution from potential common shares relating to stock options and restricted stock awards	1,481		554		1,406		1,248
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding	292,706		291,203		292,570		289,029
Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC common stockholders after deduction of dividends on preferred stock, per common share:
Basic	$	0.18	$	0.40	$	0.23	$	0.57
Diluted	$	0.18	$	0.40	$	0.23	$	0.57

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 0.6 million restricted stock awards were excluded from the dilutive common shares because certain stock price hurdles would not have been achieved assuming that June 30, 2013 was the end of the contingency period.

8.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While there are uncertainties inherent in the ultimate outcome of such matters and it is impossible to presently determine the ultimate costs or losses that may be incurred, if any, management believes the resolution of such uncertainties and the incurrence of such costs should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Additionally, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are contingently liable for commitments and performance guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business.


9.	Equity

Purchases of the Company's Common Stock

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company purchased 1.4 million shares of common stock utilizing $98.9 million in cash.


10.	Operating Segments

The Company's reportable operating segments are (1) CCUSA, primarily consisting of the Company's U.S. operations and (2) CCAL, the Company's Australian operations. Financial results for the Company are reported to management and the board of directors in this manner.

The measurement of profit or loss currently used by management to evaluate the results of operations for the Company and its operating segments is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, as adjusted ("Adjusted EBITDA"). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus restructuring charges (credits), asset write-down charges, acquisition and integration costs, depreciation, amortization and accretion, amortization of prepaid lease purchase price adjustments, interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, gains (losses) on retirement of long-term obligations, net gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, impairment of available-for-sale securities, interest income, other income (expense), benefit (provision) for income taxes, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, income (loss) from discontinued operations and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), and the Company's measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. There are no significant revenues resulting from transactions between the Company's operating segments. Inter-company borrowings and related interest between segments are eliminated to reconcile segment results and assets to the consolidated basis.

11.	Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company derives the largest portion of its revenues from customers in the wireless communications industry. The Company also has a concentration in its volume of business with Sprint, AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile or their agents that accounts for a significant portion of the Company's revenues, receivables and deferred site rental receivables. The Company mitigates its concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables by actively monitoring the creditworthiness of its customers, utilizing customer leases with contractually determinable payment terms and proactively managing past due balances.

Major Customers

The following table summarizes the percentage of the consolidated revenues for those customers accounting for more than 10% of the consolidated revenues (all of such customer revenues relate to our CCUSA segment). The following table is after giving effect to the T-Mobile's acquisition of MetroPCS (completed in April 2013), and Sprint's acquisition of Clearwire (completed in July 2013).

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the response to Part I, Item 1 of this report and the consolidated financial statements of the Company including the related notes and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") included in our 2012 Form 10-K. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item have the same meaning given to them in our 2012 Form 10-K. Unless this Form 10-Q indicates otherwise or the context requires, the terms "we," "our," "our company," "the company," or "us" as used in this Form 10-Q refer to Crown Castle International Corp. and its subsidiaries.

General Overview

Overview

We own, operate or lease shared wireless infrastructure, including: (1) towers, (2) distributed antenna systems, a type of small cell network, and (3) third party land interests. Our core business is providing access, including space or capacity, to our towers, and to a lesser extent, to our small cell networks and third party land interests via long-term contracts in various forms. Site rental revenues represented 84% of our second quarter 2013 consolidated net revenues, of which 95% was attributable to our CCUSA operating segment. The vast majority of our site rental revenues is of a recurring nature and has been contracted for in a prior year. See our 2012 Form 10-K for a further discussion of our business, including our long-term strategy, growth trends in the wireless communications industry and our wireless infrastructure portfolio.

The following are certain highlights of our business fundamentals and results as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.


•	Potential growth resulting from wireless network expansion and new entrants


◦	We expect wireless carriers will continue their focus on improving network quality and expanding capacity by adding additional antennas and other equipment on our wireless infrastructure.

◦

We expect existing and potential new wireless carrier demand for our wireless infrastructure will result from (1) next generation technologies, (2) continued development of mobile internet applications, (3) adoption of other emerging and embedded wireless devices, (4) increasing smartphone penetration, (5) wireless carrier focus on expanding coverage and (6) the availability of additional spectrum.


◦	Substantially all of our wireless infrastructure can accommodate additional tenancy, either as currently constructed or with appropriate modifications to the structure.


◦	U.S. wireless carriers continue to invest in their networks.


◦	Our site rental revenues grew $217.1 million, or 21%, from the six months ended June 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our site rental revenue growth during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by:


▪	Our acquisitions in 2012 ("Item 2. MD&A—Consolidated Results of Operations" and note 3 in our 2012 Form 10-K).

▪

The fact that we have effectively pre-sold via a firm contractual commitment a significant portion of the modification of the existing installations relating to certain 4G upgrades. We have done so by increasing the future contracted revenue above that of a typical escalation over a period of time, typically a three to four year period. As a result, for any given period, the increase in cash revenue may not translate into a corresponding increase in reported revenues from the application of straight-line revenue recognition.

◦

We expect that our full year 2013 site rental revenues growth will also be impacted by both of these same items that impacted our 2012 site rental revenue growth, including a substantial expected contribution from the 2012 acquisitions. See note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our acquisitions. Additionally, we do not expect that any of the customers' network enhancement deployments, recent customer consolidations, and any related non-renewal of customer contracts anticipated in 2014 and 2015, including Sprint's Network Vision and any corresponding non-renewal of iDEN leases, will have a material adverse effect on our operations and cash flows for 2013 and subsequent periods.


•	Site rental revenues under long-term customer contracts with contractual escalations


◦	Initial terms of five to 15 years with multiple renewal periods at the option of the tenant of five to ten years each.


◦	Weighted-average remaining term of approximately eight years, exclusive of renewals at the customer's option, representing approximately $19 billion of expected future cash inflows.


•	Revenues predominately from large wireless carriers


◦	Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon Wireless accounted for 84% of consolidated revenues, after giving effect to T-Mobile's acquisition of MetroPCS (completed in April 2013), and Sprint's acquisition of Clearwire (completed in July 2013). See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2012 Form 10-K and note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

◦

In July, AT&T entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Leap Wireless International, Inc. ("Leap Wireless"). As of June 30, 2013, AT&T and Leap Wireless represented approximately 17% and 3%, respectively, of our consolidated site rental revenues. Further, there are approximately 1,300 towers on which both carriers currently reside. Our revenue from Leap Wireless on these 1,300 towers represents approximately 2% of consolidated site rental revenues.


•	Majority of land interests under our towers under long-term control

◦

Approximately nine-tenths and three-fourths of the site rental gross margin derived from our towers has land interests that we own or control for greater than ten and 20 years, respectively. The aforementioned amounts include towers that reside on land interests that are owned in fee or where we have perpetual or long-term easement, which represents more than one-third of such site rental gross margin.


•	Relatively fixed wireless infrastructure operating costs


◦	Our wireless infrastructure operating costs tend to increase at approximately the rate of inflation and are not typically influenced by new tenant additions.


•	Minimal sustaining capital expenditure requirements


◦	Sustaining capital expenditures were $17.0 million, which represented approximately 1% percent of net revenues.


•	Debt portfolio with long-dated maturities extended over multiple years, with the majority of such debt having a fixed rate (see "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for a further discussion of our debt)


◦	71% of our debt has fixed rate coupons.


◦	Our debt service coverage and leverage ratios were comfortably within their respective financial maintenance and cash trap covenants. See "Item 2. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a further discussion of our debt covenants.


•	Significant cash flows from operations


◦	Net cash provided by operating activities was $560.0 million.


◦	We believe our core business of providing access to our wireless infrastructure can be characterized as a stable cash flow stream, which we expect to grow as a result of future demand for our wireless infrastructure.


◦	We currently pay minimal cash income taxes as a result of our net operating loss carryforwards. We have approximately $2.7 billion of federal net operating losses to offset future taxable income. See "Item 2. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources."


•	Capital allocated to drive long-term shareholder value (per share) (see also "Item 2. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources")


◦	Historical discretionary investments include (in no particular order): purchasing our common stock, acquiring or constructing wireless infrastructure, acquiring land interests under our towers, improving and structurally enhancing our existing wireless infrastructure, and purchasing, repaying or redeeming our debt.


◦	Discretionary investments included:


▪	The purchase of 1.4 million shares of common stock for $98.9 million at an average price per share of $69.56.


▪	Discretionary capital expenditures of $237.9 million, including wireless infrastructure improvements in order to support additional site rentals, construction of wireless infrastructure and land purchases.


▪	In April 2013, we refinanced all of the outstanding term loan B, which effectively lowered the interest rate margin by 75 basis points See note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.


▪	In January 2013, we completed the repurchase and redemption of all the outstanding 9% senior notes and 7.75% secured notes. In addition, we repaid a net $207.0 million on our 2012 revolver.

Second Quarter 2013 and 2012. Our consolidated results of operations for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, consist predominately of our CCUSA segment, which accounted for (1) 95% and 94% of consolidated net revenues, (2) 95% and 94% of consolidated gross margins, and (3) 93% and 97% of net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders. Our operating segment results, including CCUSA, are discussed below (see "Item 2. MD&A—Comparison of Operating Segments"). The NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition impacted our consolidated results of operations from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013 by (1) increasing consolidated net revenues by $75.5 million and (2) reducing net income by $7.6 million (exclusive of the interest expense associated with the financing to fund each of these acquisitions).

First Half 2013 and 2012. Our consolidated results of operations for the first half of 2013 and 2012, respectively, consist predominately of our CCUSA segment, which accounted for (1) 95% and 94% of consolidated net revenues, (2) 95% and 94% of consolidated gross margins, and (3) 88% and 97% of net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders. Our operating segment results, including CCUSA, are discussed below (see "Item 2. MD&A—Comparison of Operating Segments"). The WCP acquisition, NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition impacted our consolidated results of operations from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013 by (1) increasing consolidated net revenues by $195.5 million and (2) reducing net income by $6.6 million (inclusive of the impact of debt assumed in the WCP acquisition, but exclusive of the interest expense associated with the financing to fund each of these acquisitions).

Comparison of Operating Segments

Our reportable operating segments for the second quarter of 2013 are (1) CCUSA, consisting of our U.S. operations, and (2) CCAL, our Australian operations. Our financial results are reported to management and the board of directors in this manner.

See note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for segment results, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA (defined below).

Our measurement of profit or loss currently used to evaluate our operating performance and operating segments is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, as adjusted ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in the tower sector and other similar providers of wireless infrastructure, and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is discussed further under "Item 2. MD&A—Accounting and Reporting Matters—Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus restructuring charges (credits), asset write-down charges, acquisition and integration costs, depreciation, amortization and accretion, amortization of prepaid lease purchase price adjustments, interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, gains (losses) on retirement of long-term obligations, net gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, impairment of available-for-sale securities, interest income, other income (expense), benefit (provision) for income taxes, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, income (loss) from discontinued operations and stock-based compensation expense (see note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss) is set forth in note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is discussed further under "Item 2. MD&A—Accounting and Reporting Matters—Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

CCUSA—Second Quarter 2013 and 2012

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $146.8 million, or 27%, from the same period in the prior year. This increase in net revenues resulted from an increase from the same period in the prior year in (1) site rental revenues of $95.8 million, or 20%, and (2) network services and other revenues of $51.0 million, or 82%.

The increase in site rental revenues was impacted by the following items, inclusive of straight-line accounting, in no particular order: new tenant additions across our entire portfolio, renewals or extensions of customer contracts, escalations, acquisitions and cancellations of customer contracts. Tenant additions were influenced by the previously mentioned growth in the wireless communications industry. Site rental gross margins for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $49.7 million, or 14%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase in the site rental gross margins was related to the previously mentioned 20% increase in site rental revenues. Site rental gross margins for the second quarter of 2013 increased primarily as a result of acquisitions. The $49.7 million incremental margin represents 52% of the related increase in site rental revenues, inclusive of the impact of acquisitions.

Network services and other gross margin increased by $21.8 million, or 87%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase in our gross margin from our network services and other revenues is a reflection of the volume of activity from carrier network enhancements such as LTE upgrades and the general volatility in the volume and mix of network services work. Our network services business is of a variable nature as these revenues are not under long-term contracts.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $7.7 million, or approximately 18%, from the same period in the prior year. General and administrative expenses were 7% of net revenues for the second quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses in nominal dollars was commensurate with the growth in our business as a result of our acquisitions. Typically, our general and administrative expenses do not significantly increase as a result of new tenant additions on our wireless infrastructure.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $65.1 million, or 18%, from the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was positively impacted by the growth in our site rental and network services activities and our acquisitions.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $38.5 million, or 27%, from the same period in the prior year predominately as a result of the fixed asset and intangible asset additions related to the NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition consummated in April 2012 and November 2012, respectively.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs decreased $4.7 million, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013, as a result of our refinancings during 2012 and 2013 partially offset by additional borrowings to fund acquisitions during 2012. During the full year 2012, we completed several debt transactions, resulting in (1) lowering our average cost of debt, (2) funding for the WCP acquisition, NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition, (3) the refinancing of certain of our debt and (4) the extension of our debt maturities. During 2013, we redeemed and repaid the remaining outstanding

7.75% secured notes and 9% senior notes. For a further discussion of our debt, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial and see note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K.

The benefit (provision) for income taxes for the second quarter of 2013 was a provision of $34.3 million, compared to a benefit of $68.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. For the second quarter of 2013, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate predominately due to state taxes, including the impact of certain subsidiaries without state income tax filing requirements incurring taxable losses for which no state benefit could be recorded. For the second quarter of 2012, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate predominately due to our federal deferred tax valuation allowance, including the reversal of a total of $70.1 million of federal and $20.0 million of state valuation allowances to our benefit (provision) for income taxes.

Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was net income of $48.7 million compared to net income of $112.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. The change in net income was predominately due to (1) a change in our benefit (provision) for income taxes, partially offset by (2) growth in our site rental and network service gross margins.

CCUSA—First Half 2013 and 2012

Net revenues for the first half of 2013 increased by $330.9 million, or 31%, from the same period in the prior year. This increase in net revenues resulted from an increase from the same period in the prior year in (1) site rental revenues of $209.0 million, or 22%, and (2) network services and other revenues of $121.9 million, or 112%.

The increase in site rental revenues was impacted by the following items, inclusive of straight-line accounting, in no particular order: new tenant additions across our entire portfolio, renewals or extensions of customer contracts, escalations, acquisitions and cancellations of customer contracts. Tenant additions were influenced by the previously mentioned growth in the wireless communications industry. Site rental gross margins for the first half of 2013 increased by $109.2 million, or 15%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase in the site rental gross margins was related to the previously mentioned 22% increase in site rental revenues. Site rental gross margins for the first half of 2013 increased primarily as a result of acquisitions. The $109.2 million incremental margin represents 52% of the related increase in site rental revenues, inclusive of the impact of acquisitions.

Network services and other gross margin increased by $47.7 million, or 105%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase in our gross margin from our network services and other revenues is a reflection of the volume of activity from carrier network enhancements such as LTE upgrades and the general volatility in the volume and mix of network services work. Our network services business is of a variable nature as these revenues are not under long-term contracts.

General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2013 increased by $16.6 million, or approximately 19%, from the same period in the prior year. General and administrative expenses were 7% of net revenues for the first half of 2013 and the first half of 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses in nominal dollars was commensurate with the growth in our business as a result of our acquisitions. Typically, our general and administrative expenses do not significantly increase as a result of new tenant additions on our wireless infrastructure.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2013 increased by $143.9 million, or 20%, from the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was positively impacted by the growth in our site rental and network services activities and our acquisitions.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion for the first half of 2013 increased by $86.0 million, or 31%, from the same period in the prior year. This increase predominately resulted from the fixed asset and intangible asset additions related to the NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition consummated in April 2012 and November 2012, respectively.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs increased $22.2 million, or 8%, from the first half of 2012 to the first half of 2013, as a result of our refinancings during 2012 and 2013 partially offset by additional borrowings to fund acquisitions during 2012. During full year 2012, we completed several debt transactions, resulting in (1) lowering our average cost of debt, (2) funding for the WCP acquisition, NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition, (3) the refinancing of certain of our debt and (4) the extension of our debt maturities. During the first half of 2013, we redeemed and repaid the remaining outstanding 7.75% secured notes and 9% senior notes. As a result of repurchasing and redeeming certain of our debt during the first half of 2013 and the first half of 2012, we incurred losses of $36.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively. For a further discussion of our debt, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial and see note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K.

The benefit (provision) for income taxes for the first half of 2013 was a provision of $49.9 million, compared to a benefit of $62.7 million for the first half of 2012. For the first half of 2013, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate predominately due to state taxes, including the impact of certain subsidiaries without state income tax filing requirements incurring

taxable losses for which no state benefit could be recorded. For the first half of 2012, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate predominately due to the reversal of federal and state deferred tax valuation allowances, including the reversal of a total of $70.1 million of federal and $20.0 million of state valuation allowances to our benefit (provision) for income taxes. See also note 9 to our 2012 Form 10-K.

Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders for the first half of 2013 was net income of $59.7 million compared to net income of $160.3 million for the first half of 2012. The change in net income was predominately due to (1) a change in our benefit (provision) for income taxes, (2) the net impact of our financing activities, partially offset by (3) growth in our site rental and network service gross margins.

CCAL—Second Quarter 2013 and 2012

The increases and decreases between the second quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012 were inclusive of exchange rate fluctuations. The average exchange rate of one Australian dollar expressed in U.S. dollars for the second quarter of 2013 was approximately 0.99, a decrease of 2% from approximately 1.01 for the same period in the prior year. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

Total net revenues for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $2.6 million, or 7%, from the same period in the prior year. Site rental revenues for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $3.4 million, or 12%, from the same period in the prior year. Site rental revenues were impacted by various factors, inclusive of straight-line accounting, including in no particular order: tenant additions on our wireless infrastructure, renewals of customer contracts, acquisitions, escalations, exchange rates, and cancellations of customer contracts.

Site rental gross margins increased by $2.2 million, or 10%, for the second quarter of 2013, from $21.3 million, for the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $0.7 million, or 4%, from the same period in the prior year. The increases in the site rental gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the same factors that drove the increase in net revenues.

Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was net income of $3.6 million, compared to net income of $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2012.

CCAL—First Half 2013 and 2012

The increases and decreases between the first half of 2013 and the first half of 2012 were inclusive of exchange rate fluctuations. The average exchange rate of one Australian dollar expressed in U.S. dollars for the first half of 2013 was approximately 1.02, a decrease of 2% from approximately 1.03 for the same period in the prior year. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

Total net revenues for the first half of 2013 increased by $6.9 million, or 9%, from the same period in the prior year. Site rental revenues for the first half of 2013 increased by $8.2 million, or 14%, from the same period in the prior year. Site rental revenues were impacted by various factors, inclusive of straight-line accounting, including in no particular order: tenant additions on our wireless infrastructure, renewals of customer contracts, acquisitions, escalations, exchange rates, and cancellations of customer contracts.

Site rental gross margins increased by $5.8 million, or 14%, for the first half of 2013, from $41.8 million, for the first half of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2013 increased by $2.7 million, or 8%, from the same period in the prior year. The increases in the site rental gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the same factors that drove the increase in net revenues.

Net income (loss) attributable to CCIC stockholders for the first half of 2013 was net income of $8.2 million, compared to net income of $5.7 million for the first half of 2012. The increase in net income was primarily driven by the growth in the site rental business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

General. We believe our core business can be characterized as a stable cash flow stream generated by revenues under long-term contracts (see "Item 2. MD&A—General Overview—Overview"). Since we became a public company in 1998, our cumulative net cash provided by operating activities (net of cash interest payments) has exceeded our sustaining capital expenditures and provided us with cash available for discretionary investments. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to generate net cash provided by operating activities that exceeds our capital expenditures and will be available for discretionary investments. In addition to investing net cash provided by operating activities, in certain circumstances, we may also use debt financings and issuances of equity or equity related securities to fund discretionary investments.

We seek to allocate the net cash provided by our operating activities in a manner that will enhance per share operating results. Our historical discretionary investments include (in no particular order): purchasing our common stock, acquiring or constructing wireless infrastructure, acquiring land interests under towers, improving and structurally enhancing our existing wireless infrastructure, and purchasing, repaying or redeeming our debt.

We seek to maintain a capital structure that we believe drives long-term stockholder value and optimizes our weighted-average cost of capital. We target a leverage ratio of approximately four to six times Adjusted EBITDA and interest coverage of approximately three times Adjusted EBITDA, subject to various factors such as the availability and cost of capital and the potential long-term return on our discretionary investments. We may choose to increase or decrease our leverage and coverage from these targets for periods of time. As a result of our financing and investing transactions during 2012, including the T-Mobile acquisition, our CCIC consolidated leverage ratio (see "Item 2. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Covenants") is 6.2 times at June 30, 2013. This current CCIC consolidated leverage ratio is below our restrictive covenant of 7.0 times.

We have never declared nor paid any cash dividend on our common stock. Currently, we endeavor to utilize our net cash provided by operating activities to engage in discretionary investments. We seek to maintain flexibility in our discretionary investments with both net cash provided by operating activities and cash available from financing capacity. Periodically, our board of directors assesses the advisability of declaring and paying cash dividends at some point in the future, based on the then-current and anticipated future conditions, including our earnings, net cash provided by operating activities, capital requirements, financial condition, our relative market capitalization, taxable income, taxpayer status, and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.

We pay minimal cash income taxes as a result of our net operating loss carryforwards. We have approximately $2.7 billion of federal net operating losses to offset future taxable income. We expect to utilize our federal net operating losses between now and 2017 based on current taxable income projections. We evaluate our options with respect to appropriately managing our tax position on an on-going basis. These options may include a potential conversion to a REIT, which we are exploring and which would require the payment of dividends on our common stock. If we were to convert to a REIT, we expect that certain subsidiaries may be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries and would continue to be subject to corporate income taxes.

Liquidity Position. The following is a summary of our capitalization and liquidity position. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our debt.

(a)	Exclusive of restricted cash.


(b)	Availability at any point in time is subject to certain restrictions based on the maintenance of financial covenants contained in our credit agreement. See "Item 2. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities" and "Item 2. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Covenants."

Over the next 12 months:

•

We expect that our cash on hand, undrawn revolving credit facility availability and net cash provided by operating activities (net of cash interest payments) should be sufficient to cover our expected (1) debt service obligations of $97.0 million (principal payments) and (2) capital expenditures in excess of $500 million (sustaining and discretionary). As CCIC and CCOC are holding companies, this cash flow from operations is generated by our operating subsidiaries.


•	We have no debt maturities other than principal payments on amortizing debt. We do not anticipate the need to access the capital markets to refinance our existing debt until at least 2015. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for a tabular presentation of our debt maturities as of June 30, 2013.

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 2013 of $235.7 million, or 73%, from first half of 2012, was primarily due to growth in our core business, including through the aforementioned acquisitions that occurred in 2012. Changes in working capital, particularly changes in deferred site rental receivables, deferred rental revenues, prepaid ground leases, restricted cash and accrued interest, can have a significant impact on our net cash from operating activities, largely due to the timing of payments and receipts. We expect to grow our cash flow provided by operating activities in the future (exclusive of movements in working capital) if we realize expected growth in our core business.

Investing Activities

Capital Expenditures.



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		Change
	(In thousands of dollars)
Discretionary:
Purchases of land interests	$	42,896	57,056		$	(14,160	)

Sustaining	16,959		11,526		5,433
Total	$	254,820	$	159,697	$	95,123

Other than sustaining capital expenditures, which we expect to be approximately $36 million to $40 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, our capital expenditures are discretionary and are made with respect to activities which we believe exhibit sufficient potential to improve our long-term results of operations on a per share basis. We expect to use in excess of $500 million of our cash flow on capital expenditures (sustaining and discretionary) for full year 2013, with approximately 40% of our total capital expenditures targeted for our existing wireless infrastructure related to customer installations and related capacity improvement. Our decisions regarding capital expenditures are influenced by the availability and cost of capital and expected returns on alternative investments.

Capital expenditures for wireless infrastructure improvements typically vary based on (1) the type of work performed on the wireless infrastructure, with initial installations of a new antenna typically requiring greater capital expenditures than a modification to an existing installation, (2) the existing capacity of the wireless infrastructure prior to installation, and (3) changes in structural engineering regulations and our internal structural standards. Wireless infrastructure construction capital expenditures increased from the first six months of 2012 to the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of improvements to towers to accommodate new tenant additions, and to a lesser extent additional small cell network builds and improvements.

Acquisitions. See note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes 3 and 5 to our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of our WCP acquisition, NextG acquisition and T-Mobile acquisition.

Financing Activities

We seek to allocate cash generated by our operations in a manner that will enhance per share operating results, which may include various financing activities such as (in no particular order) purchasing our common stock and purchasing or redeeming our debt.

Credit Facility. The proceeds of our revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the financing of capital expenditures, acquisitions and purchases of our common stock. Typically, we have used our revolving credit facility to fund discretionary investments and not for operating activities such as working capital, which are typically funded by net cash provided by operating activities. As of July 29, 2013, there was $1.1 billion outstanding under our revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we repaid a total of $255 million and borrowed $48 million under the 2012 Revolver. See also note 4 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, regarding the refinancing of our term loan B.

Debt Purchases and Repayments. See note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of our debt purchases and repayments during the first half of 2013, including the gains (losses) on the redemption and repayment of the remaining 7.75% secured notes and the 9% senior notes. The redemption of the 7.75% secured notes was funded by the release of restricted cash.

Common Stock Activity. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had 292.7 million and 293.2 million common shares outstanding, respectively. During the first six months of 2013, we purchased 1.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $69.56 per share utilizing $98.9 million in cash.

Debt Covenants

We currently have no financial covenant violations, and based upon our current expectations, we believe our operating results will be sufficient to comply with our debt covenants. Certain of our debt agreements contain ratios relating to financial maintenance, restrictive and cash trap reserve covenants. See our 2012 Form 10-K for a further discussion of our debt covenants, certain restrictive covenants and factors that are likely to determine our subsidiaries' ability to comply with current and future debt covenants. There are no significant changes in the ratios since December 31, 2012.

Accounting and Reporting Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we believe (1) are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and (2) require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The critical accounting policies and estimates are not intended to be a comprehensive list of our accounting policies and estimates. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP, with no need for management's judgment. In other cases, management is required to exercise judgment in the application of accounting principles with respect to particular transactions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates as of December 31, 2012 are described in "Item 7. MD&A" and in note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Form 10-K. The critical accounting policies and estimates for the first half of 2013 have not changed from the critical accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2012, although certain additional disclosure is provided below.

Accounting for Acquisitions—Leases

With respect to business combinations that include towers that we lease and operate, such as the T-Mobile towers and the Sprint towers, we evaluate such agreements to determine treatment as capital or operating leases. The evaluation of such agreements for capital or operating lease treatment includes consideration of each of the lease classification criteria under ASC 840-10-25, namely (a) the transfer of ownership provisions, (b) the existence of bargain purchase options, (c) the length of the remaining lease term and (d) the present value of the minimum lease payments. With respect to the business combinations related to the T-Mobile towers and Sprint towers, the Company determined that the tower leases were capital leases and the underlying land leases were operating leases based upon the lease term criterion, after considering the fragmentation criteria applicable under ASC 840-10-25 to leases involving both land and buildings (i.e., towers). The Company determined that the fragmentation criteria was met and the tower leases could be accounted for as capital leases apart from the land leases, which are accounted for as operating leases,

since (a) the fair value of the land in both business combinations was greater than 25% of the total fair value of the leased property at inception and (b) the tower lease expirations occur beyond 75% of the estimated economic life of the tower assets.

Impact of Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted and Those Adopted in 2013

No accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. No new accounting pronouncements issued during the six months ended June 30, 2013 are expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our measurement of profit or loss currently used to evaluate the operating performance of our operating segments is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, as adjusted, or Adjusted EBITDA. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA is set forth in "Item 2. MD&A—Results of Operations—Comparison of Operating Segments." Our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in the tower sector and other similar providers of wireless infrastructure, and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or loss, net income or loss, net cash provided by (used for) operating, investing and financing activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because:


•	it is the primary measure used by our management to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations, including the efficiency of our employees and the profitability associated with their performance, the realization of contract revenues under our long-term contracts, our ability to obtain and maintain our customers and our ability to operate our site rental business effectively;


•	it is the primary measure of profit and loss used by our management for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, our operating segments;


•	it is similar to the measure of current financial performance generally used in our debt covenant calculations;


•	although specific definitions may vary, it is widely used in the tower sector and other similar providers of wireless infrastructure to measure operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets; and


•	we believe it helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations (1) from period to period and (2) to our competitors by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges from our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) from our operating results.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:


•	with respect to compliance with our debt covenants, which require us to maintain certain financial ratios including, or similar to, Adjusted EBITDA;


•	as the primary measure of profit and loss for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, our operating segments;


•	as a performance goal in employee annual incentive compensation;


•	as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges from our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) from our operating results;


•	in presentations to our board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance used by management;


•	for planning purposes, including preparation of our annual operating budget;


•	as a valuation measure in strategic analyses in connection with the purchase and sale of assets; and


•	in determining self-imposed limits on our debt levels, including the evaluation of our leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio.

There are material limitations to using a measure such as Adjusted EBITDA, including the difficulty associated with comparing results among more than one company, including our competitors, and the inability to analyze certain significant items, including depreciation and interest expense, that directly affect our net income or loss. Management compensates for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with their analysis of net income (loss).


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following section updates "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2012 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with that report as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this report.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk relates primarily to the impact of interest rate movements on the following:


•	the potential refinancing of our existing debt ($10.8 billion and $11.6 billion outstanding at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively);


•	our $3.1 billion of floating rate debt at June 30, 2013; which represented approximately 29% of our total debt, as of both June 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012; and


•	potential future borrowings of incremental debt.

We may refinance our current outstanding indebtedness on or prior to maturity at the then current prevailing market rates which may be higher than our current stated rates, including as a result of potential future increases in risk free rates. We currently have no interest rate swaps hedging any refinancings.

Sensitivity Analysis

We manage our exposure to market interest rates on our existing debt by controlling the mix of fixed and floating rate debt. As of June 30, 2013, we had $3.1 billion of floating rate debt, which included $1.6 billion of debt with a LIBOR floor of 75 basis points per annum. As a result, a hypothetical unfavorable fluctuation in market interest rates on our existing debt of 1/8 of a percent point over a 12 month period would increase our interest expense by approximately $2 million when giving effect to our LIBOR floor and would increase our interest expense by approximately $4 million exclusive of the impact of the LIBOR floor.

Tabular Information

The following table provides information about our market risk related to changes in interest rates. The future principal payments and weighted-average interest rates are presented as of June 30, 2013. These debt maturities reflect contractual maturity dates and do not consider the impact of the principal payments that commence if the applicable debt is not repaid or refinanced on or prior to the anticipated repayment dates on the tower revenue notes and the WCP Securitized Notes (see footnote (c)). The information presented below regarding the variable rate debt is supplementary to our sensitivity analysis regarding the impact of changes in the LIBOR rates. See note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our debt.

________________

(a)

The fair value of our debt is based on indicative, non-binding quotes from brokers. Quotes from the brokers require judgment and are based on the brokers' interpretation of market information, including implied credit spreads for similar borrowings on recent trades or bid/ask offers. These fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amount which could be realized in a current market exchange.


(b)	The average interest rate represents the weighted-average stated coupon rate (see footnote (c)).

(c)

The impact of principal payments that commence if the applicable debt is not repaid or refinanced on or prior to the anticipated repayment dates are not considered. The January 2010 Tower Revenue Notes consist of three series of notes with principal amounts of $300.0 million, $350.0 million and $1.3 billion, having anticipated repayments dates in 2015, 2017, and 2020, respectively. The August 2010 Tower Revenue Notes consist of three series of notes with principal amounts of $250.0 million, $300.0 million and $1.0 billion, having anticipated repayment dates in 2015, 2017, and 2020, respectively. If the tower revenue notes are not repaid in full by their anticipated repayment dates, the applicable interest rate increases by an additional approximately 5% per annum and monthly principal payments commence using the Excess Cash Flow of the issuers of the tower revenue notes. The tower revenue notes are presented based on their contractual maturity dates between 2035 and 2040 and include the impact of an assumed 5% increase in interest rate that would occur following the anticipated repayment dates but exclude the impact of monthly principal payments that would commence using Excess Cash Flow of the issuers of the tower revenue notes. The full year 2012 Excess Cash Flow of the issuers was approximately $482 million. If the WCP Securitized Notes with a current face value of $287.5 million are not repaid in full by their anticipated repayment dates in 2015, the applicable interest rate increases by an additional approximately 5% per annum. If the WCP Securitized Notes are not repaid in full by their rapid amortization date of 2017, monthly principal payments commence using the Excess Cash Flow of the Issuers of the WCP Securitized Notes. The WCP Securitized Notes are presented based on their contractual maturity dates in

2040. The full year 2012 Excess Cash Flow of Issuers of the WCP Securitized Notes was approximately $17 million. We currently expect to refinance these notes on or prior to the respective anticipated repayment dates.

(d)

The average variable interest rate is based on the currently observable forward rates. The 2012 Revolver and the Term Loan A bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.75%, based on CCOC's total net leverage ratio. The Term Loan B bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR (with LIBOR subject to a floor of 75 basis points per annum) plus 2.25% to 2.5%, based on CCOC's total net leverage ratio.


(e)	Predominantly consists of a portion of the 2012 secured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million of 2.381% secured notes due 2017.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign exchange markets have recently been volatile, and we expect foreign exchange markets to continue to be volatile over the near term. The vast majority of our foreign currency risk is related to the Australian dollar which is the functional currency of CCAL. CCAL represented 5% of our consolidated net revenues and 5% of our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Over the past year, the Australian dollar has decreased approximately 10% in value compared to the U.S. dollar. We believe the risk related to our financial instruments (exclusive of inter-company financing deemed a long-term investment) denominated in Australian dollars should not be material to our financial condition. A hypothetical increase or decrease of 25% in the Australian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would increase or decrease the fair value of our Australian dollar denominated financial instruments by approximately $13 million.
