Array delivered another quarter of sequential tower tenancy growth, highlighting the value of our assets. In addition, Array completed the previously announced spectrum sale to Verizon, now having completed transactions to monetize virtually all of its spectrum outside of the C-Band."

Recent Development On May 7, 2026, TDS delivered to the Array Board of Directors a letter setting forth a non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Array Common Shares that are not owned by TDS (the "Array Proposal"). A special committee of independent and disinterested directors of the Array Board of Directors has been formed to evaluate this proposal. For additional information on the Array Proposal, see TDS' Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2026. 2026 Estimated Results TDS' current estimates of full-year 2026 results for TDS Telecom and Array are shown below. Such estimates represent management's view as of August 7, 2026 and should not be assumed to be current as of any future date. TDS undertakes no duty to update such estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that final results will not differ materially from estimated results. TDS Telecom Previous Current (Dollars in millions) Total operating revenues $1,015-$1,055 $1,000-$1,025 Adjusted OIBDA1 (Non-GAAP) $300-$340 $300-$320 Adjusted EBITDA1 (Non-GAAP) $310-$350 $310-$330 Capital expenditures $550-$600 $625-$675 Array Previous Current (Dollars in millions) Total operating revenues $200-$215 $205-$215 Adjusted OIBDA1 (Non-GAAP) $50-$65 $60-$75 Adjusted EBITDA1 (Non-GAAP) $200-$215 $220-$235 Capital expenditures $25-$35 Unchanged The following tables reconcile EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA to the corresponding GAAP measures, Net income or Income (loss) before income taxes. In providing 2026 estimated results, TDS has not completed the below reconciliation to Net income because it does not provide guidance for income taxes. Although potentially significant, TDS believes that the impact of income taxes cannot be reasonably predicted; therefore, TDS is unable to provide such guidance. 2026 Estimated Results TDS Telecom Array (Dollars in millions) Net income from continuing operations (GAAP) N/A N/A Add back: Income tax expense N/A N/A Income (loss) before income taxes (GAAP) ($15)-$5 $775-$790 Add back: Interest expense — 45 Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense 325 50 EBITDA (Non-GAAP)1 $310-$330 $870-$885 Add back or deduct: (Gain) loss on license sales and exchanges, net — (585) Short-term imputed spectrum lease income — (65) Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)1 $310-$330 $220-$235 Deduct: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities — 145 Interest and dividend income 5 15 Other, net 5 — Adjusted OIBDA (Non-GAAP)1 $300-$320 $60-$75 Actual Results Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Year Ended December 31, 2025 TDS Telecom Array TDS Telecom Array (Dollars in millions) Net income (loss) from continuing operations (GAAP) $ (4) $ 517 $ 28 $ 172 Add back: Income tax expense (benefit) (4) 168 10 (31) Income (loss) before income taxes (GAAP) $ (8) $ 686 $ 38 $ 141 Add back: Interest expense — 18 (7) 28 Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense 146 27 300 48 EBITDA (Non-GAAP)1 $ 138 $ 731 $ 331 $ 218 Add back or deduct: Expenses related to strategic alternatives review — 8 6 2 (Gain) loss on impairment of intangible assets — — 1 48 (Gain) loss on asset disposals, net 6 5 15 2 (Gain) loss on sale of business and other exit costs, net 2 — (23) — (Gain) loss on license sales and exchanges, net (2) (566) — (6) Short-term imputed spectrum lease income — (58) — (69) Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)1 $ 144 $ 119 $ 330 $ 194 Deduct: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities — 75 — 174 Interest and dividend income 2 11 6 19 Other, net 3 — 5 — Adjusted OIBDA (Non-GAAP)1 $ 140 $ 33 $ 319 $ 1 Numbers may not foot due to rounding. 1 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are defined as net income from continuing operations adjusted for the items set forth in the reconciliation above. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are not measures of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered as alternatives to Net income or Cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of cash flows or as measures of liquidity. TDS does not intend to imply that any such items set forth in the reconciliation above are infrequent or unusual; such items may occur in the future. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA as measurements of profitability, and therefore reconciliations to Net income are deemed appropriate. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are useful measures of TDS' operating results before significant recurring non-cash charges, nonrecurring expenses, gains and losses, and other items as presented above as they provide additional relevant and useful information to investors and other users of TDS' financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of its operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance. Adjusted EBITDA shows adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, gains and losses, while Adjusted OIBDA reduces this measure further to exclude Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities and Interest and dividend income in order to more effectively show the performance of operating activities excluding investment activities.

AFCF is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income from continuing operations or as an indicator of cash flows. Management believes AFCF is a useful measure of Array's cash generated from operations and its noncontrolling investment interests. The following table reconciles AFCF to the corresponding GAAP measure, Net income from continuing operations. This measure is presented following the sale of Array's wireless operations to T-Mobile on August 1, 2025, at which time the primary business operations for Array changed from providing wireless communications services to a standalone tower company.
