T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) reported second quarter results today, highlighted by overtaking AT&T in total branded customers as America’s #2 wireless provider and another quarter of industry-leading customer growth. In the company’s first quarter since closing the Sprint merger and during an unprecedented social and economic climate, the New T-Mobile established itself as the undisputed growth leader in wireless by continuing to lead the industry in total branded net customer additions for the 22^nd consecutive quarter.

Since closing its merger with Sprint on April 1, 2020, T-Mobile has been driving hard on integration and remains highly confident in its ability to unlock massive synergies and build the world’s best 5G network. Already, the company has unified employees and customers under one brand, converting thousands of legacy Sprint stores to magenta and adding the tools and systems to serve all customers in all stores. T-Mobile also amped up competition like never before to celebrate this event with its recent supercharged Un-carrier deal — available only for a limited time this summer, customers can get four lines of unlimited data for just $25 each per month plus tax including access to the nation’s largest 5G network.

“Surpassing AT&T to become #2 was a huge milestone to kick off Q2, but that was only the beginning! In our first quarter as a combined company, T-Mobile led the industry in total branded customer adds – even in a challenging environment – and there is no doubt that we are THE leading growth company in wireless,” said Mike Sievert, T-Mobile CEO. “Now we’re setting our sights on #1 – in customer choice and customers’ hearts – and we’ll get there by doing ONLY what the Un-carrier can do: offering customers the most advanced 5G network AND the best value while continuing to make big moves that fix customer pain points and disrupt this industry. I’m excited about what’s to come in this new T-Mobile era – we’re just getting started!”

Building Transformative Nationwide 5G Network and Delivering Merger Synergies

• 5G Leadership: America’s largest 5G network has service in more than 7,500 cities and towns covering more than 250 million people across 1.3 million square miles, more than double AT&T’s geographic coverage and exponentially more than Verizon.
  • A new report from Open Signal ranks the T-Mobile network first for 5G availability, meaning Un-carrier customers get a 5G signal more often than customers on any other network -- more than twice as often as AT&T and 56 times more often than Verizon! Plus, a new report from Ookla measuring 4G and 5G from over one million customer devices shows that T-Mobile has 5G in nearly 4x more cities than Verizon and AT&T combined (and 32x more cities than Verizon alone). And T-Mobile customers with a 5G-capable device experience faster overall download and upload speeds than Verizon customers.
  • T-Mobile already has mid-band 5G service using 2.5 GHz spectrum live in eight major markets including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. The performance of mid-band 5G is incredible, delivering average download speeds in the 300 Mbps range and peak speeds hitting one Gbps for customers with compatible 5G devices.
  • T-Mobile recently became the first operator in the world to launch a commercial nationwide standalone 5G network, allowing the Un-carrier to massively expand its 5G footprint, bring next-gen connectivity to more places and pave the way for future groundbreaking applications.
  • T-Mobile controls an average of 319 MHz of combined low and mid-band spectrum on average nationwide. This spectrum position is nearly double that of AT&T and nearly three times that of Verizon. In addition, T-Mobile controls 1,160 MHz of mmWave spectrum nationwide, more than AT&T.
• Sprint Customer Experience: With 85 percent of the Sprint postpaid phone base already having a device that is compatible with the T-Mobile network, the network team is rapidly improving the experience for these customers.
  • More than 10 percent of Sprint postpaid customer traffic has already been moved over to the T-Mobile network and site decommissioning has begun
  • Approximately 75 percent of Sprint postpaid customers are enabled on VoLTE and enjoying a better voice experience, including simultaneous voice and data services
• Merger Synergies: The company remains highly confident in its ability to deliver $43 billion of synergies and achieve the $6 billion of annualized cost savings from the Sprint merger. In addition to strong progress on network integration, T-Mobile has accelerated the rationalization of retail stores and organizational redesign in order to pull forward synergies.

Outlook for H2 2020

• Postpaid net customer additions are expected to be between 1.7 million and 1.9 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $12.4 billion to $12.7 billion. Our Adjusted EBITDA target includes leasing revenues of $2.4 billion to $2.6 billion.
• Cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest are expected to be between $6.5 billion and $6.9 billion.
• Merger and integration-related costs are expected to be $800 million to $1 billion before taxes. These costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but will impact Net income and cash flows.
• Net cash provided by operating activities, including payments for merger and integration-related costs, is expected to be in the range of $5.3 billion to $5.7 billion.
• Free Cash Flow, including payments for merger and integration-related costs, is expected to be in the range of $300 million to $500 million. Free Cash Flow guidance does not assume any material net cash inflows from securitization.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

This Press Release includes non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information provided in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below. T-Mobile is not able to forecast Net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP net income including, but not limited to, Income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense and Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net income as follows:

(1)	Following the Prepaid Transaction, starting on July 1, 2020, we will provide MVNO services to customers of the divested brands. We have included the operating income from discontinued operations in our determination of Adjusted EBITDA to reflect EBITDA contributions of the Prepaid Business that will be replaced by the MVNO Agreement beginning on July 1, 2020.
(2)	Stock-based compensation includes payroll tax impacts and may not agree to stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, certain stock-based compensation expenses associated with the Transactions have been included in Merger-related costs.
(3)	Other, net may not agree to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, primarily due to certain non-routine operating activities, such as other special items that would not be expected to reoccur or are not reflective of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance, and are therefore excluded in Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA - Earnings before Interest expense, net of Interest income, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash Stock-based compensation and certain expenses not reflective of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance, such as merger-related costs and COVID-19-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized by T-Mobile’s management to monitor the financial performance of our operations. T-Mobile uses Adjusted EBITDA internally as a measure to evaluate and compensate its personnel and management for their performance, and as a benchmark to evaluate T-Mobile’s operating performance in comparison to its competitors. Management believes analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate overall operating performance and facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications companies because it is indicative of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance and trends by excluding the impact of Interest expense from financing, non-cash depreciation and amortization from capital investments, non-cash stock-based compensation, network decommissioning costs and costs related to the Transactions, incremental costs directly attributable to COVID-19 and impairment expense, as they are not indicative of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance, as well as certain other nonrecurring income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, Net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
