Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile,” “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of operations of T-Mobile and our consolidated subsidiaries. We consolidate majority-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and VIEs which cannot be deconsolidated, such as those related to our tower obligations as discussed in Note 9 - Tower Obligations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that we do not control but have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. We record our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ earnings within Other (expense) income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard enhances income tax disclosure requirements for all entities by requiring specified categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation table, disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, and providing clarification on uncertain tax positions and related financial statement impacts. The standard will be effective for us for our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements, and we expect the adoption of the standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date,” which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The standard will become effective for us for our fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and may be applied prospectively to periods after the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements, and we are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 – Business Combinations
Acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation
On March 9, 2023, we entered into a merger and unit purchase agreement (the “Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of 100 % of the outstanding equity of Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries, including, among others, Mint Mobile LLC (collectively, “Ka’ena”), for a maximum purchase price of $1.35 billion to be paid out 39 % in cash and 61 % in shares of T-Mobile common stock (the “Ka’ena Acquisition”). On March 13, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement, which amended, among other things, certain mechanics of the payment of the purchase consideration for the Ka’ena Acquisition, which resulted in a nominal increase in the percentage of cash compared to shares of T-Mobile common stock to be paid out as part of the total purchase price.
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on May 1, 2024 (the “Ka’ena Acquisition Date”), we completed the Ka’ena Acquisition, and as a result, Ka’ena became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. Concurrently, and as agreed upon through the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement, T-Mobile and Ka’ena entered into certain separate transactions, including the effective settlement of the preexisting wholesale arrangement between T-Mobile and Ka’ena and agreements with certain of the sellers to provide services to T-Mobile during the post-acquisition period.
In accordance with the terms of the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement, the total purchase price was variable, dependent upon specified performance indicators of Ka’ena, and consists of an upfront payment on the Ka’ena Acquisition Date and an earnout payable on August 1, 2026. On June 30, 2025, we amended the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement to set the calculation of the earnout as the difference between the maximum purchase price of $1.35 billion and the upfront payment, as adjusted, and removed the requirement for Ka’ena to achieve specified performance indicators.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, $236 million and $202 million of liabilities for deferred consideration, respectively, and $137 million and $80 million of liabilities for post-acquisition services, respectively, were presented within Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
We accounted for the Ka’ena Acquisition as a business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Ka’ena were recorded at their fair values as of the Ka’ena Acquisition Date and consolidated with those of T-Mobile. Assigning fair values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Ka’ena Acquisition Date required the use of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. For the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we used the cost and income approaches.
10
The following table summarizes the assigned fair values for each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Ka’ena Acquisition Date, as adjusted during the measurement period, which closed on April 30, 2025, based on information identified after the Ka’ena Acquisition Date. We retained the services of certified valuation specialists to assist with assigning values to certain acquired assets.

Intangible Assets
Goodwill with an assigned value of $777 million represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The assigned goodwill recognized includes expected growth in customers and service revenues to be achieved from the operations of the combined company, the assembled workforce of Ka’ena and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Of the total amount of assigned goodwill resulting from the Ka’ena Acquisition of $777 million, the amount deductible for tax purposes is $121 million. All of the goodwill acquired is allocated to the Wireless reporting unit.
Acquisition of UScellular Wireless Business
On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with United States Cellular Corporation (“UScellular”), Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., and USCC Wireless Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select AWS, PCS, 600 MHz, 700 MHz and other spectrum assets (together, the “UScellular Wireless Business”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payable in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through exchange offers to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing (the “UScellular Acquisition”). Upon closing of the transaction, we expect to account for the UScellular Acquisition as a business combination and to consolidate the acquired operations.
Following the closing of the transaction, UScellular will retain ownership of its other spectrum, as well as its towers. Subject to the closing of the transaction, we will enter into a 15-year master license agreement to lease space on at least 2,100 towers being retained by UScellular and to extend our tenancy term on approximately 600 towers where we are already leasing space from UScellular for 15 years post-closing. We estimate the incremental future minimum lease payments associated with the master license agreement will be $1.4 billion over 15 years post-closing.
On May 23, 2025, we launched exchange offers for any and all of certain outstanding senior notes of UScellular (the “Exchange Offers”). In conjunction with the Exchange Offers, we also solicited consents for each series of the outstanding senior notes of UScellular to effect a number of amendments to the applicable indenture under which each such series of notes were issued and are governed (the “Consent Solicitations”). As of July 1, 2025, the total principal amount of certain outstanding UScellular senior notes validly tendered was $1.7 billion. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the Exchange Offers, their senior notes will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly
11
increased. The consummation of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the closing of the UScellular Acquisition and will expire on August 1, 2025.
On July 11, 2025, we received all necessary regulatory approvals, and the UScellular Acquisition is expected to close on August 1, 2025.
On July 22, 2025, we entered into asset purchase agreements for the acquisition of substantially all of the wireless operations assets of each of Farmers Cellular Telephone Company, Inc., Iowa RSA No. 9 Limited Partnership, and Iowa RSA No. 12 Limited Partnership (collectively, the “Iowa Entities”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $170 million. These transactions are expected to close concurrently with the UScellular Acquisition on August 1, 2025. Upon closing of the acquisition of the wireless operations assets of the Iowa Entities, we expect to account for the transactions as a business combination. Following the closing of the acquisition of the wireless operations assets of the Iowa Entities, the Iowa Entities will retain ownership of their towers and spectrum.
Acquisition of Vistar Media Inc.
On December 20, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of 100 % of the outstanding capital stock of Vistar Media Inc. (“Vistar”), a provider of technology solutions for digital-out-of-home advertisements (the “Vistar Acquisition”).
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on February 3, 2025 (the “Vistar Acquisition Date”), we completed the Vistar Acquisition, and as a result, Vistar became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. In exchange, we transferred cash of $621 million. A portion of the payment made on the Vistar Acquisition Date was for the settlement of preexisting relationships with Vistar and is excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred.
The financial results of Vistar from the Vistar Acquisition Date through June 30, 2025, were not material to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, nor were they material to our prior period consolidated results on a pro forma basis. Costs related to the Vistar Acquisition were not material to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
We have accounted for the Vistar Acquisition as a business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Vistar were recorded at their provisionally assigned fair values as of the Vistar Acquisition Date and consolidated with those of T-Mobile. Assigning fair values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Vistar Acquisition Date requires the use of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. For the provisionally assigned fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we used the cost and income approaches.
12
The following table summarizes the provisionally assigned fair values for each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Vistar Acquisition Date. We are in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including income tax-related amounts. Therefore, the provisionally assigned fair values set forth below are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained.

Intangible Assets
Goodwill with a provisionally assigned value of $345 million represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The provisionally assigned goodwill recognized includes expected growth in service revenues to be achieved from the operations of the combined company, the assembled workforce of Vistar and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.
Other intangible assets acquired primarily include $201 million of customer relationships with an estimated weighted-average useful life of nine years , $8 million of tradenames with an estimated weighted-average useful life of four years and $55 million of other intangible assets with an estimated weighted-average useful life of four years . The customer relationships are amortized using the sum-of-the-years digits method over their estimated useful lives, and the tradenames are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The preliminary fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the income approach. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and, therefore, represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The key assumptions in applying the income approach include revenue over an estimated period of time, the discount rate, forecasted expenses and contributory asset charges.
Acquisition of Blis Holdco Limited
On February 18, 2025, we entered into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100 % of the outstanding capital stock of Blis Holdco Limited (“Blis”), a provider of advertising solutions (the “Blis Acquisition”).
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on March 3, 2025 (the “Blis Acquisition Date”), we completed the Blis Acquisition, and as a result, Blis became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. In exchange, we transferred cash of $180 million. A portion of the payment made on the Blis Acquisition Date was for the settlement of preexisting relationships with Blis and is excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred.
We have accounted for the Blis Acquisition as a business combination. The fair value of consideration transferred as of the Blis Acquisition Date totaled $175 million. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Blis were recorded at their provisionally assigned fair values as of the Blis Acquisition Date and consolidated with those of T-Mobile. The provisionally assigned fair values of total assets acquired, including goodwill, and total liabilities assumed at the Blis Acquisition Date were $280 million and $105 million, respectively. Goodwill with a provisionally assigned value of $104 million represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
We are in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Therefore, the provisionally assigned fair values above are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained.

Note 3 – Joint Ventures
Lumos Joint Venture
On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with a fund operated by EQT, EQT Infrastructure VI (“Fund VI”), to establish a joint venture between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos (“Lumos”), a fiber-to-the-home platform, from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructure III.
On April 1, 2025, we completed the joint acquisition of Lumos upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $932 million to acquire a 50 % equity interest in the joint venture and 97,000 fiber customers. For the customers acquired, we recognized an intangible asset amortized using the sum-of-the-years digits method over a weighted-average useful life of nine years . Following the joint acquisition, Lumos transitioned to a wholesale model where we are the anchor tenant owning residential and small business customer relationships. The funds invested by us will be used by the joint venture to fund future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million between 2027 and 2028 under the existing business plan.
We account for the Lumos joint venture under the equity method of accounting with our proportionate share of earnings presented within Other (expense) income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We recognize revenues for fiber customers and the related wholesale costs paid to the joint venture for network access within Postpaid revenues and Cost of services, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Metronet Joint Venture
On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR & Co. Inc. (“KKR”) to establish a joint venture to acquire Metronet Holdings, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Metronet”), a fiber-to-the-home platform. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.6 billion, adjusted for Metronet’s incremental pre-close debt financing, to acquire a 50 % equity interest in the joint venture and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding of the joint venture. We do not anticipate making further capital contributions following the closing under the existing business plan. Following the joint acquisition, Metronet will become a wholesale services provider, and its residential fiber retail operations and customers will transition to us. On July 9, 2025, we received all necessary regulatory approvals, and the joint acquisition of Metronet is expected to close on July 24, 2025.
Upon the closing of the transaction, we expect to account for the Metronet joint venture under the equity method of accounting and recognize revenues for fiber customers and the related wholesale costs paid to the joint venture for network access within Postpaid revenues and Cost of services, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Note 4 – Receivables and Related Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses by applying an expected credit loss model. Each period, management assesses the appropriateness of the level of allowance for credit losses by considering credit risk inherent within each portfolio segment as of the end of the period.
We consider a receivable past due when a customer has not paid us by the contractually specified payment due date. Account balances are written off against the allowance for credit losses if collection efforts are unsuccessful and the receivable balance is deemed uncollectible (customer default), based on factors such as customer credit ratings, as well as the length of time the amounts are past due.
Our portfolio of receivables is comprised of two portfolio segments: accounts receivable and equipment installment plan (“EIP”) receivables.
Accounts Receivable Portfolio Segment
Accounts receivable balances are predominately comprised of amounts currently due from customers (e.g., for wireless communications services), device insurance administrators, wholesale partners, other carriers and third-party retail channels.
We estimate credit losses associated with our accounts receivable portfolio segment using an expected credit loss model, which utilizes an aging schedule methodology based on historical information and is adjusted for asset-specific considerations, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
14
Our approach considers a number of factors, including our overall historical credit losses and payment experience, as well as current collection trends, such as write-off frequency and severity. We also consider other qualitative factors such as current and forecasted macroeconomic conditions.
We consider the need to adjust our estimate of credit losses for reasonable and supportable forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions. To do so, we monitor external forecasts of changes in real U.S. gross domestic product and forecasts of consumer credit behavior for comparable credit exposures.
EIP Receivables Portfolio Segment
Based upon customer credit profiles at the time of customer origination, as well as subsequent credit performance, we designate the EIP receivables segment into two customer classes of “Prime” and “Subprime.” Prime customer receivables are those with lower credit risk, and Subprime customer receivables are those with higher credit risk. Customers may be required to make a down payment on their equipment purchases if their assessed credit risk exceeds established underwriting thresholds. In addition, certain customers within the Subprime category may be required to pay a deposit.
To determine a customer’s credit profile and assist in determining their credit class, we use a proprietary credit scoring model that measures the credit quality of a customer leveraging several factors, such as credit bureau information and consumer credit risk scores, as well as service and device plan characteristics.
EIP receivables had a combined weighted-average effective interest rate of 11.2 % and 11.1 % as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table summarizes the EIP receivables, including imputed discounts and related allowance for credit losses:

| Equipment installment plan receivables due after one year, net of allowance for credit losses and imputed discount | |||||||||||
| EIP receivables, net of allowance for credit losses and imputed discount | $ | $ | |||||||||
Many of our loss estimation techniques rely on delinquency-based models categorized by customer credit class; therefore, delinquency is an important indicator of credit quality in the establishment of our allowance for credit losses for EIP receivables. We manage our EIP receivables portfolio segment using delinquency and customer credit class as key credit quality indicators.
The following table presents the amortized cost of our EIP receivables by delinquency status, customer credit class and year of origination as of June 30, 2025:

15
We estimate credit losses on our EIP receivables segment by applying an expected credit loss model, which relies on historical loss data adjusted for current conditions to calculate default probabilities or an estimate for the frequency of customer default. Our assessment of default probabilities or frequency includes receivables delinquency status, historical loss experience, how long the receivables have been outstanding and customer credit ratings, as well as customer tenure. We multiply these estimated default probabilities by our estimated loss given default, which is the estimated amount of default or the severity of loss.
As we do for our accounts receivable portfolio segment, we consider the need to adjust our estimate of credit losses on EIP receivables for reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions through monitoring external forecasts and periodic internal statistical analyses.
The following table presents write-offs of our EIP receivables by year of origination for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures
We do not have material off-balance-sheet credit exposures as of June 30, 2025. In connection with the sales of certain service accounts receivable and EIP receivables pursuant to the sale arrangements, we provide guarantees of credit performance included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets measured at fair value that are based on a discounted cash flow model using Level 3 inputs, including estimated customer default rates and credit worthiness, dilutions and recoveries. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables for further information.
Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables
We regularly enter into transactions to sell certain service accounts receivable and EIP receivables. The transactions, including our continuing involvement with the sold receivables and the respective impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements, are described below.
Sales of EIP Receivables
Overview of the Transaction
In 2015, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain EIP receivables on a revolving basis (the “EIP Sale Arrangement”), which has been revised and extended from time to time. As of both June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the EIP Sale Arrangement provided funding of $1.3
In connection with this EIP Sale Arrangement, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, which qualifies as a bankruptcy remote entity (the “EIP BRE”). We consolidate the EIP BRE under the VIE model.

Sales of Service Accounts Receivable
Overview of the Transaction
In 2014, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain service accounts receivable on a revolving basis (the “Service Receivable Sale Arrangement”). On February 25, 2025, we extended the scheduled expiration date of the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement to February 24, 2026. As of both June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement provided funding of $775
In connection with the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, which qualifies as a bankruptcy remote entity, to sell service accounts receivable (the “Service BRE”). We consolidate the Service BRE under the VIE model.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of liabilities included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to the Service BRE:

| Other current liabilities | |||||||||||
Sales of Receivables
On October 22, 2024, we executed an amendment to the EIP Sale Arrangement and an amendment to the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement (together, the “Pledge Amendments”). Prior to the effective date of the Pledge Amendments, the credit enhancement feature of each of the EIP Sale Arrangement and the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement was in the form of a deferred purchase price. Pursuant to the Pledge Amendments, effective on November 1, 2024, the credit enhancement feature of each arrangement is replaced by a recourse guarantee liability, which is collateralized by pledged but unsold receivables.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, all cash proceeds associated with sold receivables are recognized within Net cash provided by operating activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, cash proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions in the form of the deferred purchase price were presented within Net cash used in investing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The recourse guarantee represents a financial instrument that is primarily tied to the creditworthiness of our customers. At inception, we elected to measure the recourse guarantee liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of the recourse guarantee liabilities is determined based on a discounted cash flow model which primarily uses Level 3 inputs, including estimated customer default rates and credit worthiness, dilutions and recoveries. Our recourse guarantee liabilities related to the sales of service receivables and EIP receivables were $138 million and $148 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. These liabilities were collateralized by $231 million and $286 million of gross service receivables and $508 million and $505 million of gross EIP receivables pledged, but unsold as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, which represent our maximum exposure under the recourse guarantee.

License Purchase Agreements
Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC
On August 8, 2022, we, Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC (together with Channel 51 License Co LLC, the “Sellers”) entered into License Purchase Agreements pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from the Sellers in exchange for total cash consideration of $3.5 billion.
On March 30, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements pursuant to which we and the Sellers agreed to separate the transaction into two tranches of licenses, with the closings on the acquisitions of certain licenses in Chicago, Dallas and New Orleans being deferred in order to potentially expedite the regulatory approval process for the remainder of the licenses. Subsequently, on August 25, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amendments No. 1 to the Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements, which deferred the closings of certain additional licenses in Chicago and Dallas into the second closing tranche. Together, the licenses with closings deferred into the second closing tranche represent $1.1 billion of the aggregate $3.5 billion cash consideration. The licenses being acquired by us, and the total consideration being paid for the licenses, remain the same under the original License Purchase Agreements and subsequent amendments.
The Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) approved the purchase of the first tranche on December 29, 2023. The first tranche closed on June 24, 2024, and the associated payment of $2.4 billion was made on August 5, 2024.
The FCC approved the purchase of the Dallas licenses included in the second tranche on October 22, 2024. The purchase of the Dallas licenses closed on December 6, 2024, and the associated payment of $541 million was made on the same day.
The FCC approved the remaining Chicago and New Orleans deferred licenses from the second tranche on April 15, 2025. The purchase of the remaining licenses closed on June 2, 2025, and the associated payment of $604 million was made on the same day.
Comcast Corporation
On September 12, 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “Comcast License Purchase Agreement”) with Comcast Corporation and its affiliate, Comcast OTR1, LLC (together with Comcast Corporation, “Comcast”), pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Comcast in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion, subject to an application for FCC approval. The licenses will be acquired without any associated networks. We anticipate the closing will occur in the first half of 2028.
The final purchase price will be determined, in the aggregate and on a per license basis, based on the set of licenses subject to the Comcast License Purchase Agreement at the time the parties make required transfer filings with the FCC. Prior to the time of such filings, Comcast has the right to remove any or all of a certain specified subset of the licenses, totaling $2.1 billion (the “Optional Sale Licenses”), from the Comcast License Purchase Agreement. The removal of any Optional Sale Licenses would reduce the final purchase price by the assigned value of each such license, from the maximum purchase price of $3.3 billion.
The licenses are subject to an exclusive leasing arrangement between us and Comcast, which was entered into contemporaneously with the Comcast License Purchase Agreement. If Comcast elects to remove an Optional Sale License from the Comcast License Purchase Agreement, the associated lease for such Optional Sale License will terminate, but no sooner than two years from the date of the Comcast License Purchase Agreement (with us having a minimum period of time after any such termination to cease transmitting on such license’s associated spectrum).
On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the Comcast License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum. Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion.
N77 License Co LLC
On September 10, 2024, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with N77 License Co LLC (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer had the option to purchase all or a portion of our remaining 3.45 GHz spectrum licenses in exchange for a range of cash consideration, with the specific licenses sold to be determined based upon the amount of committed financing raised by Buyer. Following receipt of the required regulatory approvals, on April 30, 2025, we completed the sale of a portion of our 3.45 GHz spectrum licenses for $2.0 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized an associated gain of $151 million as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
19
Grain Management, LLC
On May 30, 2025, we entered into a License and Unit Purchase Agreement with NEWLEVEL IV, L.P. and NEWLEVEL, LLC, both of which are affiliates of Grain Management, LLC (“Grain”), pursuant to which we will sell our 800 MHz spectrum licenses in exchange for cash consideration of $2.9 billion and the receipt of Grain’s 600 MHz spectrum licenses, which we are currently utilizing under lease agreements with Grain. In addition, we may receive a share of certain future proceeds from transactions entered into by Grain that monetize the 800 MHz spectrum licenses, subject to certain terms and conditions and following a certain return on invested capital for Grain. As of June 30, 2025, $3.6 billion of the associated 800 MHz spectrum licenses have been classified as held for sale at cost, with $2.9 billion and $690 million presented in Other current assets and Other assets, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the nature of consideration to be received. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and contingent on the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the FCC’s approval regarding certain modifications to the 800 MHz spectrum licenses, and is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025 or first quarter of 2026. We do not expect the transaction to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income upon the transaction close. In addition, we expect an increase to our cash income tax liability of approximately $850 million upon the transaction close.
Spectrum Exchange Transactions
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $1 million and $38 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $173 million and $139 million, respectively, of non-cash spectrum license acquisitions associated with the closing of certain spectrum exchange transactions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $1 million and $22 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $13 million and $47 million, respectively, of gains associated with the closing of certain spectrum exchange transactions as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
As of June 30, 2025, $243 million of spectrum licenses were classified as held for sale within Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to additional spectrum exchange agreements pending regulatory approval and closing, which are expected to close in the next 12 months. The closings of these transactions are not expected to have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements
The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of EIP receivables approximate fair value as the receivables are recorded at their present value using an imputed interest rate.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, such as exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship to mitigate fluctuations in values or cash flows related to such risks caused by foreign currency or interest rate volatility. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Cash flows associated with qualifying hedge derivative instruments are presented in the same category on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the item being hedged. For fair value hedges, other than foreign currency hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments is recognized in earnings through the same income statement line item as the change in the fair value of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, as well as fair value foreign currency hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the hedged item is recognized in earnings, again, through the same income statement line item.
We record derivatives on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that is derived primarily from observable market data, including exchange rates, interest rates and forward curves. These market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument's term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to derivative valuations are generally observable in active markets and, as such, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Cross-Currency Swaps
We enter into cross-currency swaps to offset changes in the value of our payments on foreign-denominated debt in USD and to mitigate the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses.
We have entered into cross-currency swap agreements, with the same notional amounts as our EUR-denominated debt issuances, to effectively convert €4.8 billion to USD borrowings, with the same maturities as our EUR-denominated debt issuances. The swaps qualify and have been designated as fair value hedges of our EUR-denominated debt, mitigating our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses.
Accordingly, all changes in the fair value of the swaps will be initially recorded through Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to earnings in an amount that exactly offsets the periodic transaction gain or loss on remeasuring the debt, such that there will be no earnings volatility due to changes in foreign-currency exchange rates. Transaction gains or losses on remeasuring the EUR-denominated debt, as well as the offsetting swap amounts, are recorded within Other (expense) income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Changes in the fair value of the swaps may be different from the current period transaction gain or loss on remeasurement of the debt, in which case the difference will remain in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Condensed Consolidated
21
Balance Sheets. These differences generally represent credit or liquidity risk, referred to as a basis spread, and the time value of money (“excluded components”). The value of the excluded components is recognized in earnings using a systematic and rational method by accruing the current-period swap settlements into Interest expense, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If an amount remains in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon settlement of the derivative, those amounts will be reclassified to earnings at that time.
The following table summarizes the activity of our cross-currency swaps:

Interest Rate Lock Derivatives
In April 2020, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives entered into in October 2018. Aggregate changes in the fair value of our terminated interest rate lock derivatives, net of amortization, of $867 million and $960 million are presented in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $63 million and $59 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $125 million and $116 million, respectively, from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Interest expense, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We expect to amortize $264 million of the Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the derivatives into Interest expense, net, over the 12 months ending June 30, 2026.
Debt
The fair values of our Senior Notes and spectrum-backed Senior Secured Notes to third parties were determined based on quoted market prices in active markets. Accordingly, our Senior Notes and spectrum-backed Senior Secured Notes to third parties were classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our Senior Notes to affiliates was determined based on the fair value of the Senior Notes to third parties with similar terms and maturities. Accordingly, our Senior Notes to affiliates were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated) and asset-backed notes (“ABS Notes”) were primarily based on quoted prices in inactive markets for identical instruments and observable changes in market interest rates, both of which are Level 2 inputs. Accordingly, our Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated) and ABS Notes were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our ECA Facility (as defined below) was determined based on a discounted cash flow approach using market interest rates of instruments with similar maturities and credit risk. Accordingly, our ECA Facility was classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Although we have determined the estimated fair values using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, judgment was required in interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates for the Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated), Senior Notes to affiliates, ABS Notes and ECA Facility. The fair value estimates were based on information available as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. As such, our estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize in a current market exchange.

Our effective interest rate, excluding the impact of derivatives and capitalized interest, was 4.1 83.5 billion and $78.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 4.1 81.7 billion and $78.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted-average debt outstanding was calculated by applying an average of the monthly ending balances of total short-term and long-term debt to third parties and short-term and long-term debt to affiliates, net of unamortized premiums, discounts, debt issuance costs and consent fees.
Issuances and Borrowings

Asset-backed Notes
On February 27, 2025, we issued $500 million of 4.740 % Class A Senior ABS Notes to third parties in a private placement transaction. Net proceeds of $498 million from these ABS Notes are presented in Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, $1.7 billion of our ABS Notes were secured in total by $2.3 billion of gross EIP receivables and future collections on such receivables. Our ABS Notes and the assets securing this debt are included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The expected maturities of our ABS Notes as of June 30, 2025, were as follows:

Variable Interest Entities
In connection with our ABS Notes issuances, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, which qualifies as a bankruptcy remote entity (the “ABS BRE”), and a trust (the “ABS Trust” and together with the ABS BRE, the “ABS Entities”), in which the ABS BRE holds a residual interest. Each of the ABS Entities meet the definition of a VIE for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary, as we have the power to direct the activities of the ABS Entities that most significantly impact their performance. Accordingly, we include the balances and results of operations of the ABS Entities on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to the ABS Entities:

Restricted Cash
Certain provisions of our debt agreements require us to maintain specified cash collateral balances. Amounts associated with these balances are considered to be restricted cash. See Note 15 – Additional Financial Information for our reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash.
ECA Facility
On January 31, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, T-Mobile USA, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions, backed by an Export Credit Agency (the “ECA Facility”), providing for a loan of up to $1.0 billion to finance network equipment-related purchases. The obligations under the ECA Facility are also guaranteed by us and by all of our wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exceptions). On March 17, 2025, we drew down the full $1.0 billion available under the ECA Facility and recognized the net proceeds within Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Borrowings under the ECA facility are amortized semi-annually in equal installments up to the maturity date of March 15, 2036. Interest is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for the interest period plus an applicable margin.
Note 9 – Tower Obligations
Existing CCI Tower Lease Arrangements
In 2012, we conveyed to Crown Castle International Corp. (“CCI”) the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 6,200 tower sites (“CCI Lease Sites”) via a master prepaid lease with site lease terms ranging from 23 to 37 years. CCI has fixed-price purchase options for the CCI Lease Sites totaling approximately $2.0 billion, exercisable annually on a per-tranche basis at the end of the lease term during the period from December 31, 2035, through December 31, 2049. If CCI exercises its purchase option for any tranche, it must purchase all the towers in the tranche. We lease back a portion of the space at certain tower sites.
Assets and liabilities associated with the operation of the tower sites were transferred to special purpose entities (“SPEs”). Assets included ground lease agreements or deeds for the land on which the towers are situated, the towers themselves and existing subleasing agreements with other mobile network operator tenants that lease space at the tower sites. Liabilities included the obligation to pay ground lease rentals, property taxes and other executory costs.
We determined the SPEs containing the CCI Lease Sites (“Lease Site SPEs”) are VIEs as they lack sufficient equity to finance their activities. We have a variable interest in the Lease Site SPEs but are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Lease Site SPEs’ economic performance. These activities include managing tenants and underlying ground leases, performing repair and maintenance on the towers, the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive the expected future residual returns from the purchase option to acquire the CCI Lease Sites. As we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling financial interest in the Lease Site SPEs, the Lease Site SPEs are not included on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
However, we also considered if this arrangement resulted in the sale of the CCI Lease Sites for which we would derecognize the tower assets. By assessing whether control had transferred, we concluded that transfer of control criteria, as discussed in the revenue standard, were not met. Accordingly, we recorded this arrangement as a financing whereby we recorded debt, a financial obligation, and the CCI Lease Sites tower assets remained on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded long-term financial obligations in the amount of the net proceeds received and recognize interest on the tower obligations. The tower obligations are increased by interest expense and amortized through contractual leaseback payments made by us to CCI and through net cash flows generated and retained by CCI from the operation of the tower sites.
Acquired CCI Tower Lease Arrangements
Prior to our merger (the “Sprint Merger”) with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), Sprint entered into a lease-out and leaseback arrangement with Global Signal Inc., a third party that was subsequently acquired by CCI, that conveyed to CCI the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 6,400 tower sites (“Master Lease Sites”) via a master prepaid lease. These agreements were assumed upon the close of the Sprint Merger, at which point the remaining term of the lease-out was approximately 17 years with no renewal options. CCI has a fixed price purchase option for all (but not less than all) of the leased or subleased sites for approximately $2.3 billion, exercisable one year prior to the expiration of the agreement and ending 120 days prior to the expiration of the agreement. We lease back a portion of the space at certain tower sites.
25
We considered if this arrangement resulted in the sale of the Master Lease Sites for which we would derecognize the tower assets. By assessing whether control had transferred, we concluded that transfer of control criteria, as discussed in the revenue standard, were not met. Accordingly, we recorded this arrangement as a financing whereby we recorded debt, a financial obligation, and the Master Lease Sites tower assets remained on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We recognize interest expense on the tower obligations. The tower obligations are increased by the interest expense and amortized through contractual leaseback payments made by us to CCI. The tower assets are reported in Property and equipment, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated to their estimated residual values over the expected useful life of the towers, which is 20 years.
Leaseback Arrangement
On January 3, 2022, we entered into an agreement (the “Crown Agreement”) with CCI. The Crown Agreement extends the current term of the leasebacks by up to 12 years and modifies the leaseback payments for both the Existing CCI Tower Lease Arrangements and the Acquired CCI Tower Lease Arrangements. As a result of the Crown Agreement, there was an increase in our financing obligation as of the effective date of the Crown Agreement of approximately $1.2 billion, with a corresponding decrease to Other long-term liabilities associated with unfavorable contract terms. The modification resulted in a revised interest rate under the effective interest method for the tower obligations: 11.6 % for the Existing CCI Tower Lease Arrangements and 5.3 % for the Acquired CCI Tower Lease Arrangements. There were no changes made to either of our master prepaid leases with CCI.
The following table summarizes the balances associated with both of the tower arrangements on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| (in millions) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||
| Property and equipment, net | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Tower obligations | |||||||||||
| Other long-term liabilities | |||||||||||
Future minimum payments related to the tower obligations are approximately $384 million for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2026, $798 million in total for both of the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2027 and 2028, $848 million in total for both of the 12-month periods ending June 30, 2029 and 2030, and $3.5 billion in total thereafter.
We are contingently liable for future ground lease payments through the remaining term of the CCI Lease Sites and the Master Lease Sites. These contingent obligations are not included in Operating lease liabilities, as any amount due is contractually owed by CCI based on the subleasing arrangement. Under the arrangement, we remain primarily liable for ground lease payments on approximately 900 sites and have included lease liabilities of $247 million in our Operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2025.
Note 10 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Disaggregation of Revenue
We provide wireless communications services to three primary categories of customers:
•Postpaid customers generally include customers who are qualified to pay after receiving wireless communications services utilizing phones, 5G broadband, fiber, mobile internet devices (including tablets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT);
•Prepaid customers generally include customers who pay for wireless communications services in advance; and
•Wholesale customers include Machine-to-Machine and Mobile Virtual Network Operator customers that operate on our network but are managed by wholesale partners.

| Postpaid other revenues | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total postpaid service revenues | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
The balances presented in each revenue line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income represent categories of revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of product and service. Postpaid and prepaid service revenues also include revenues earned for providing premium services to customers, such as device insurance services. Revenue generated from the lease of mobile communication devices is included in Equipment revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Contract Balances
The contract asset and contract liability balances from contracts with customers as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows:
| (in millions) | Contract Assets | Contract Liabilities | |||||||||
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | |||||||||||
| Change | $ | $ | ( | ||||||||
Contract assets primarily represent revenue recognized for equipment sales with promotional bill credits offered to customers that are paid over time and are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract.
The change in the contract asset balance reflects customer activity related to new promotions, offset by billings on existing contracts and impairment, which is recognized as bad debt expense. The current portion of our contract assets of $651 million and $492 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, was included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract liabilities are recorded when fees are collected, or we have an unconditional right to consideration (a receivable) in advance of delivery of goods or services. Changes in contract liabilities are primarily related to the activity of prepaid customers, including customers acquired through the Ka’ena Acquisition. Contract liabilities are primarily included in Deferred revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, include the following:

Remaining Performance Obligations
As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining service performance obligations for postpaid contracts with subsidized devices and promotional bill credits that result in an extended service contract is $2.0 billion. We expect to recognize revenue as the service is provided on these postpaid contracts over an extended contract term of 24 months from the time of origination.
Information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less has been excluded from the above, which primarily consists of monthly service contracts.
Certain of our wholesale, roaming and service contracts include variable consideration based on usage and performance. This variable consideration has been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the contractual minimum consideration for wholesale, roaming and service contracts is $466 million, $1.2 billion and $2.5 billion for the remainder of 2025, 2026 and 2027 and beyond, respectively. These contracts have a remaining duration ranging from less than one year to seven years .

Contract Costs
The balance of deferred incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers was $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion for June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred contract costs incurred to obtain postpaid service contracts are amortized over a period of 24 months. The amortization period is monitored to reflect any significant change in assumptions. Amortization of deferred contract costs included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income were $478 million and $489 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $963 million and $978 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The deferred contract cost asset is assessed for impairment on a periodic basis. There were no
Note 11 – Segment Reporting
We manage our business activities on a consolidated basis and operate as a single operating segment: Wireless. We primarily derive our revenue in the United States by providing wireless communications services to customers using our wireless networks and selling devices that provide customers access to our wireless networks. The accounting policies of the Wireless segment are the same as those described in Part II, Item 8, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer, G. Michael Sievert. The CODM uses Net income, as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, in evaluating performance of the Wireless segment and determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole, including investing in our networks and customers, stockholder return programs and acquisition strategy. The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the results of the Wireless segment, and therefore, such information is not presented.

The Ka’ena Shares were previously contingent consideration for the Ka’ena Acquisition. On June 30, 2025, we amended the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement to set the calculation of the earnout as the difference between the maximum purchase price of $1.35 billion and the upfront payment, as adjusted, and removed the requirement for Ka’ena to achieve specified performance indicators. The Ka’ena Shares issuable are included in the calculation of basic and diluted weighted-average shares

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
We have commitments for non-dedicated transportation lines with varying expiration terms that generally extend through 2038. In addition, we have commitments to purchase wireless devices, network services, equipment, software, marketing sponsorship agreements and other items in the ordinary course of business, with various terms through 2045.

On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with a fund operated by EQT, Fund VI, to establish a joint venture between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos, a fiber-to-the-home platform, from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructure III. On April 1, 2025, we completed the joint acquisition of Lumos. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million between 2027 and 2028 under the existing business plan. The additional capital contribution is excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 3 – Joint Ventures for additional details.
On May 1, 2024, we completed the Ka’ena Acquisition. The total purchase price consists of an upfront payment on the Ka’ena Acquisition Date and an earnout payable on August 1, 2026. Based on the adjusted amount paid upfront, an additional $420 million in future cash and T-Mobile common stock is payable in satisfaction of the earnout. The earnout is excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 2 – Business Combinations for additional details.
On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with UScellular, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., and USCC Wireless Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select spectrum assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payable in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through exchange offers to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the Exchange Offers, their senior notes will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. Following the closing of the transaction, we will enter into a 15-year master license agreement and estimate the incremental future minimum lease payments will be $1.4 billion over 15 years post-closing. The estimated purchase price and incremental minimum lease payments are excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 2 – Business Combinations for additional details.
On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR to establish a joint venture to acquire Metronet, a fiber-to-the-home platform. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.6 billion, adjusted for Metronet’s incremental pre-close debt financing, to acquire a 50 % equity interest in the joint venture and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding of the joint venture. The estimated purchase price is excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 3 – Joint Ventures for additional details.
Sprint Merger Commitments
In connection with the regulatory proceedings and approvals of the Sprint Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement with Sprint and the other parties named therein (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, we have commitments and other obligations to various state and federal agencies and certain nongovernmental organizations, including pursuant to the Consent Decree agreed to by us, DT, Sprint, SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) and DISH Network Corporation and entered by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and the FCC’s memorandum opinion and order approving our applications for approval of the Sprint Merger. These commitments and obligations include, among other things, extensive 5G network build-out commitments, obligations to deliver high-speed wireless services to the vast majority of Americans, including Americans residing in rural areas, and the marketing of an in-home broadband product where spectrum capacity is available. Other commitments relate to national security, pricing, service, employment and support of diversity initiatives. Many of the commitments specify time

frames for compliance and reporting. Failure to fulfill our obligations and commitments in a timely manner could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions.
Contingencies and Litigation
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
We are involved in various lawsuits and disputes, claims, government agency investigations and enforcement actions, and other proceedings (“Litigation and Regulatory Matters”) that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include claims of patent infringement (most of which are asserted by non-practicing entities primarily seeking monetary damages), class actions, and proceedings to enforce FCC or other government agency rules and regulations. Those Litigation and Regulatory Matters are at various stages, and some of them may proceed to trial, arbitration, hearing, or other adjudication that could result in fines, penalties, or awards of monetary or injunctive relief in the coming 12 months if they are not otherwise resolved. We have established an accrual with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate. The accruals are reflected on our condensed consolidated financial statements, but they are not considered to be, individually or in the aggregate, material. An accrual is established when we believe it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. For other matters, where we have not determined that a loss is probable or because the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, we have not recorded an accrual due to various factors typical in contested proceedings, including, but not limited to, uncertainty concerning legal theories and their resolution by courts or regulators, uncertain damage theories and demands, and a less than fully developed factual record. For Litigation and Regulatory Matters that may result in a contingent gain, we recognize such gains on our condensed consolidated financial statements when the gain is realized or realizable. We recognize legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with Litigation and Regulatory Matters as they are incurred. Except as otherwise specified below, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these Litigation and Regulatory Matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, but we note that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the specific matters identified below, or other matters that we are or may become involved in could have a material adverse impact on results of operations or cash flows for a particular period. This assessment is based on our current understanding of relevant facts and circumstances. As such, our view of these matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and may change in the future.
On February 28, 2020, T-Mobile and Sprint each received a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Admonishment from the FCC, which proposed a penalty for allegedly violating section 222 of the Communications Act and the FCC’s regulations governing the privacy of customer information. On April 29, 2024, the FCC issued Forfeiture Orders against T-Mobile and Sprint that largely adopted the allegations and conclusions of the Notices of Apparent Liability and imposed penalties on T-Mobile and Sprint. T-Mobile and Sprint paid those penalties under protest, and on June 27, 2024, T-Mobile and Sprint filed Petitions for Review challenging the FCC’s Forfeiture Orders in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. We are unable to predict the potential outcome of those proceedings.
On April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Sprint Merger, we assumed the contingencies and litigation matters of Sprint. Those matters include a wide variety of disputes, claims, government agency investigations and enforcement actions, and other proceedings. These matters include, among other things, certain ongoing FCC and state government agency investigations into Sprint’s Lifeline program. In September 2019, Sprint notified the FCC that it had claimed monthly subsidies for serving subscribers, even though these subscribers may not have met usage requirements under Sprint's usage policy for the Lifeline program, due to an inadvertent coding issue in the system used to identify qualifying subscriber usage that occurred in July 2017 while the system was being updated. Sprint has made a number of payments to reimburse the federal government and certain states for excess subsidy payments.
We note that, pursuant to Amendment No. 2, dated as of February 20, 2020, to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018, by and among the Company, Sprint and the other parties named therein, SoftBank agreed to indemnify us against certain specified matters and losses, including those relating to the Lifeline matters described above. Resolution of these matters could require us to make additional reimbursements and pay additional fines and penalties, which we do not expect to have a significant impact on our financial results. We expect that any additional liabilities related to these indemnified matters would be indemnified and reimbursed by SoftBank.
On June 1, 2021, a putative shareholder class action and derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Dinkevich v. Deutsche Telekom AG, et al., Case No. C.A. No. 2021-0479, against DT, SoftBank and certain of our current and former officers and directors, asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims relating to the repricing amendment to the Business Combination Agreement and to SoftBank’s monetization of its T-Mobile shares. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the case. We are unable to predict the potential outcome of these claims.

On August 12, 2021, we became aware of a cybersecurity issue involving unauthorized access to T-Mobile’s systems (the “August 2021 cyberattack”). We immediately began an investigation and engaged cybersecurity experts to assist with the assessment of the incident and to help determine what data was impacted. Our investigation uncovered that the perpetrator had illegally gained access to certain areas of our systems on or about March 18, 2021, but only gained access to and took data of current, former, and prospective customers beginning on or about August 3, 2021. With the assistance of our outside cybersecurity experts, we located and closed the unauthorized access to our systems and identified current, former and prospective customers whose information was impacted and notified them, consistent with state and federal requirements. We also undertook a number of other measures to demonstrate our continued support and commitment to data privacy and protection. We also coordinated with law enforcement. Our forensic investigation is complete, and we believe we have a full view of the data compromised.
As a result of the August 2021 cyberattack, we have become subject to numerous lawsuits, including mass arbitration claims and multiple class action lawsuits that have been filed in numerous jurisdictions seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees arising out of the August 2021 cyberattack. In December 2021, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the federal class action lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri under the caption In re: T-Mobile Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, Case No. 21-md-3019-BCW. On July 22, 2022, we entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuit. On June 29, 2023, the Court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement. All appeals have been resolved, and the settlement is now final. Under the terms of the settlement, we have paid an aggregate of $350 million to fund claims submitted by class members, the legal fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and the costs of administering the settlement. As required under the terms of the settlement, we have spent an aggregate of $150 million for data security and related technology in 2022 and 2023. The settlement provides a full release of all claims arising out of the August 2021 cyberattack by class members who did not opt out, against all defendants, including us, our subsidiaries and affiliates, and our directors and officers. The settlement contains no admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the defendants.
We anticipate that this settlement of the class action, along with other settlements of separate consumer claims that have been previously completed or are currently pending, will resolve substantially all of the claims brought to date by our current, former and prospective customers who were impacted by the 2021 cyberattack. In connection with the class action settlement and the separate settlements, we recorded a total pre-tax charge of approximately $400 million in the second quarter of 2022.
In addition, in September 2022, a purported Company shareholder filed a derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption Harper v. Sievert, et al., Case No. 2022-0819-SG, against our current directors and certain of our former directors, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company’s cybersecurity practices. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the lawsuit. On May 31, 2024, the court issued an opinion dismissing the plaintiff’s complaint in its entirety. The plaintiff appealed that decision, and on February 17, 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Chancery’s decision dismissing the complaint. We are unable at this time to predict whether we may be subject to further private litigation relating to the August 2021 cyberattack or the Company’s cybersecurity practices.
We have also received inquiries and contested legal proceedings from various government agencies, law enforcement and other governmental authorities related to the August 2021 cyberattack, which could result in substantial fines or penalties. We reached an agreement with the FCC, which was announced on September 30, 2024, to resolve one of those inquiries. We will continue to cooperate fully with the other agencies and regulators inquiring about the matter with an aim to resolve all of these matters. While we hope to resolve them in the near term, we cannot predict the timing or outcome of any of these matters or whether we may be subject to further regulatory inquiries, investigations, or enforcement actions.
In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, and based on the information currently available to us, in addition to the previously recorded pre-tax charge of approximately $400 million noted above, we believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur additional losses associated with these proceedings and inquiries, and we will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for losses at the time or times when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Ongoing legal and other costs related to these proceedings and inquiries, as well as any potential future actions, may be substantial, and losses associated with any adverse judgments, settlements, penalties or other resolutions of such proceedings and inquiries could be material to our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and operating results.
On June 17, 2022, plaintiffs filed a putative antitrust class action complaint in the Northern District of Illinois, Dale, et al. v. Deutsche Telekom AG, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03189, against DT, T-Mobile, and SoftBank, alleging that the Sprint Merger violated the antitrust laws and harmed competition in the U.S. retail cell service market. Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief and trebled monetary damages on behalf of a purported class of AT&T and Verizon customers whom plaintiffs allege paid artificially inflated prices due to the Sprint Merger. We are vigorously defending this lawsuit, but we are unable to predict the potential outcome.

On January 5, 2023, we identified that a bad actor was obtaining data through a single Application Programming Interface (“API”) without authorization. Based on our investigation, the impacted API is only able to provide a limited set of customer account data, including name, billing address, email, phone number, date of birth, T-Mobile account number and information, such as the number of lines on the account and plan features. The result from our investigation indicates that the bad actor(s) obtained data from this API for approximately 37 million current postpaid and prepaid customer accounts, though many of these accounts did not include the full data set. We believe that the bad actor first retrieved data through the impacted API starting on or around November 25, 2022. We have notified individuals whose information was impacted consistent with state and federal requirements.
In connection with the January 2023 cyberattack, we became subject to consumer class actions and regulatory inquiries, to which we will continue to respond in due course and may incur significant expenses. However, we cannot predict the timing or outcome of any of these potential matters or whether we may be subject to additional legal proceedings, claims, regulatory inquiries, investigations, or enforcement actions.
On February 25, 2025, a purported Company shareholder filed a putative class action and derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption Palkon v. Deutsche Telekom AG, et al., Case No. 2025-0211-PAF, against four DT entities, our current directors, and certain of our former directors, asserting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims relating to our 2022 Stock Repurchase Program and our 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the lawsuit. We are unable to predict the potential outcome of these claims.

Overview
The objectives of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) are to provide users of our condensed consolidated financial statements with the following:
•A narrative explanation from the perspective of management of our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results;
•Context to the condensed consolidated financial statements; and
•Information that allows assessment of the likelihood that past performance is indicative of future performance.
Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read together with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, and audited consolidated financial statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Except as expressly stated, the financial condition and results of operations discussed throughout our MD&A are those of T-Mobile US, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Sprint Merger-Related Costs
As of June 30, 2024, we have incurred substantially all restructuring and integration costs associated with our merger (the “Sprint Merger”) with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) and, accordingly, no longer separately disclose Sprint Merger-related costs. The cash payments for the Sprint Merger-related costs incurred extend beyond 2025 and primarily relate to operating leases for which we have recognized accelerated lease expense.
Sprint Merger-related costs were excluded from our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as we do not consider these costs to be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. See “Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA” in the “Performance Measures” section of this MD&A.
Net cash payments for Sprint Merger-related costs, including payments related to our restructuring plan, are included in Net cash provided by operating activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and our calculation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow and were $61 million and $241 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $122 million and $534 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
36
Joint Ventures
On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with a fund operated by EQT, EQT Infrastructure VI (“Fund VI”), to establish a joint venture between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos (“Lumos”), a fiber-to-the-home platform, from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructure III. On April 1, 2025, we completed the joint acquisition of Lumos, upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $932 million to acquire a 50% equity interest in the joint venture and 97,000 fiber customers. The funds invested by us will be used to fund future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million between 2027 and 2028 under the existing business plan. Following the joint acquisition, Lumos transitioned to a wholesale model where we are the anchor tenant owning residential and small business customer relationships. We account for the Lumos joint venture under the equity method of accounting with our proportionate share of earnings presented within Other (expense) income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We recognize revenues for fiber customers and the related wholesale costs paid to the joint venture for network access within Postpaid revenues and Cost of services, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR & Co. Inc. (“KKR”) to establish a joint venture to acquire Metronet Holdings, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Metronet”), a fiber-to-the-home platform. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.6 billion, adjusted for Metronet’s incremental pre-close debt financing, to acquire a 50% equity interest in the joint venture and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding of the joint venture. We do not anticipate making further capital contributions following the closing under the existing business plan. Following the joint acquisition, Metronet will become a wholesale services provider, and its residential fiber retail operations and customers will transition to us. On July 9, 2025, we received all necessary regulatory approvals, and the joint acquisition of Metronet is expected to close on July 24, 2025. Upon closing of the transaction, we expect to account for the Metronet joint venture under the equity method of accounting and recognize revenues for fiber customers and the related wholesale costs paid to the joint venture for network access within Postpaid revenues and Cost of services, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The joint ventures will focus on market identification and selection, build plans, network engineering and design, network deployment and customer installation, with us owning customer relationships and selling fiber service under the T-Mobile brand.
For more information regarding the Lumos and Metronet joint ventures, see Note 3 – Joint Ventures of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation
On May 1, 2024 (the “Ka’ena Acquisition Date”), we completed the merger with Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries, including, among others, Mint Mobile LLC (collectively, “Ka’ena”), and as a result, Ka’ena became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile (the “Ka’ena Acquisition”). The total purchase price consists of an upfront payment on the Ka’ena Acquisition Date and an earnout payable on August 1, 2026. On the Ka’ena Acquisition Date, and in satisfaction of the upfront payment, we transferred $420 million in cash and 3,264,952 shares of T-Mobile common stock valued at $536 million as determined based on its closing market price on April 30, 2024, for a total payment fair value of $956 million. A portion of the upfront payment made on the Ka’ena Acquisition Date was for the settlement of the preexisting wholesale relationship with Ka’ena. The amount of the upfront payment was subject to customary adjustments, and as a result of such adjustments, $17 million of the upfront payment was returned to T-Mobile during the fourth quarter of 2024, which resulted in a commensurate increase in the maximum payable in satisfaction of the earnout.
Based on the adjusted amount paid upfront, an additional $420 million in future cash and T-Mobile common stock is payable in satisfaction of the earnout.
Prior to the Ka’ena Acquisition, Ka’ena was a wholesale partner of the Company for which we recognized service revenues within Wholesale and other service revenues. Upon the closing of the Ka’ena Acquisition, this relationship was effectively terminated, and the Company acquired Ka’ena’s prepaid customer relationships and began to recognize service revenues associated with these customers within Prepaid revenues and operating expenses primarily within Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income subsequent to the Ka’ena Acquisition Date.
For more information regarding the Ka’ena Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
37
Acquisition of UScellular Wireless Business
On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with United States Cellular Corporation (“UScellular”), Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., and USCC Wireless Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select spectrum assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payable in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through exchange offers to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing (the “UScellular Acquisition”).
On May 23, 2025, we launched exchange offers for any and all of certain outstanding senior notes of UScellular (the “Exchange Offers”). In conjunction with the Exchange Offers, we also solicited consents for each series of the outstanding senior notes of UScellular to effect a number of amendments to the applicable indenture under which each such series of notes were issued and are governed (the “Consent Solicitations”). As of July 1, 2025, the total principal amount of certain outstanding UScellular senior notes validly tendered was $1.7 billion. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the Exchange Offers, their senior notes will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. The consummation of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the closing of the UScellular Acquisition and will expire on August 1, 2025.
On July 11, 2025, we received all necessary regulatory approvals, and the UScellular Acquisition is expected to close on August 1, 2025. Upon closing of the transaction, we expect to account for the UScellular transaction as a business combination and to consolidate the acquired operations. Our estimates for total annual run rate cost synergies and total cost to achieve the integration will be updated subsequent to closing of the transaction.
For more information regarding the UScellular Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Vistar Media Inc.
On December 20, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Vistar Media Inc. (“Vistar”), a provider of technology solutions for digital-out-of-home advertisements (the “Vistar Acquisition”).
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on February 3, 2025 (the “Vistar Acquisition Date”), we completed the Vistar Acquisition, and as a result, Vistar became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. In exchange, we transferred cash of $621 million.
For more information regarding the Vistar Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Blis Holdco Limited
On February 18, 2025, we entered into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Blis Holdco Limited (“Blis”), a provider of advertising solutions (the “Blis Acquisition”).
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on March 3, 2025 (the “Blis Acquisition Date”), we completed the Blis Acquisition, and as a result, Blis became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. In exchange, we transferred cash of $180 million.
For more information regarding the Blis Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) into law. The OBBBA includes numerous changes to existing tax law, including provisions providing current deductibility of certain property additions, limitations on interest deductions based on a tax EBITDA framework, and current deductibility of domestic research and development costs. These provisions are generally effective beginning in 2025, and we currently anticipate they will partially defer our income tax payments in future years and will not have a material impact on our effective tax rate. Management continues to review the OBBBA tax provisions to assess impacts to our consolidated financial statements.

Performance Measures
In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by our condensed consolidated financial statements with other operating or statistical data and non-GAAP financial measures. These operating and financial measures are utilized by our management to evaluate our operating performance and, in certain cases, our ability to meet liquidity requirements. Although companies in the wireless communications services industry may not define each of these measures in precisely the same way, we believe that these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies in the wireless industry on key operating and financial measures.
Postpaid Accounts
A postpaid account is generally defined as a billing account number that generates revenue. Postpaid accounts generally consist of customers that are qualified for postpaid service utilizing phones, 5G broadband modems, fiber connections, mobile internet devices (including tablets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT), where they generally pay after receiving service.

Customers
A customer is generally defined as a SIM number with a unique T-Mobile identifier that is associated with an account that generates revenue. Customers are qualified either for postpaid service utilizing phones, 5G broadband modems, fiber connections, mobile internet devices (including tablets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT), where they generally pay after receiving service, or prepaid service, where they generally pay in advance of receiving service.

•Higher net additions from mobile internet devices, primarily due to higher prior year deactivations of lower ARPU mobile internet devices in the educational sector activated during the Pandemic and no longer needed; and
•Higher 5G broadband net additions; partially offset by
•Increased deactivations from a growing customer base; and
•Lower net additions from wearables; and
•Higher postpaid phone net customer additions, primarily from higher gross additions and higher prepaid to postpaid migrations, partially offset by higher churn, primarily driven by the temporary impact of current year rate plan optimizations and increased deactivations from a growing customer base; partially offset by
•Lower prepaid net customer additions, primarily from increased deactivations from a growing customer base, primarily due to the Ka’ena Acquisition, higher churn, and higher prepaid to postpaid migrations, partially offset by higher gross additions primarily due to the Ka’ena Acquisition; and

Churn
Churn represents the number of customers whose service was deactivated as a percentage of the average number of customers during the specified period further divided by the number of months in the period. The number of customers whose service was deactivated is presented net of customers that subsequently had their service restored within a certain period of time and excludes customers who received service for less than a certain minimum period of time. We believe that churn provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to evaluate customer retention and loyalty.

Postpaid phone churn increased 10 basis points for the three months ended and increased 7 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily from the temporary impact of current year rate plan optimizations.
Prepaid churn increased 11 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to normalized switching activity.
Prepaid churn increased 3 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to normalized switching activity, partially offset by the inclusion of prepaid customers associated with the Ka’ena Acquisition with lower churn.
Postpaid Average Revenue Per Account
Postpaid Average Revenue per Account (“ARPA”) represents the average monthly postpaid service revenue earned per account. Postpaid ARPA is calculated as Postpaid revenues for the specified period divided by the average number of postpaid accounts during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. We believe postpaid ARPA provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate our postpaid service revenue realization and assists in forecasting our future postpaid service revenues on a per account basis. We consider postpaid ARPA to be indicative of our revenue growth potential given the increase in the average number of postpaid phone customers per account and increases in postpaid other customers, including 5G broadband, fiber, mobile internet devices (including tablets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT).

Postpaid ARPA increased $7.33, or 5%, for the three months ended and increased $6.35, or 4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily from:
•The positive impact from rate plan optimizations and higher fee revenue, including from the adoption of new tax and fee exclusive plans;
•An increase in customers per account, including from the continued adoption of 5G broadband and the continued growth of T-Mobile for Business customers; and
•Higher premium services, primarily high-end rate plans, net of contra-revenues for content included in such plans, and discounts for specific affinity groups, such as 55+, military and first responders; partially offset by
•Increased promotional activity; and
•An increase in 5G broadband and fiber-only accounts.
The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily from:

•Increased promotional activity; and
•An increase in 5G broadband and fiber-only accounts.
Average Revenue Per User
Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) represents the average monthly service revenue earned per customer. ARPU is calculated as service revenues for the specified period divided by the average number of customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. We believe ARPU provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate our service revenue per customer and assist in forecasting our future service revenues generated from our customer base. Postpaid phone ARPU excludes postpaid other customers and related revenues, which include 5G broadband, fiber, mobile internet devices (including tablets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT).
The following table sets forth our operating measure ARPU:

47
Postpaid Phone ARPU
Postpaid phone ARPU increased $1.55, or 3%, for the three months ended and increased $1.07, or 2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily from:
•The positive impact from rate plan optimizations and higher fee revenue, including from the adoption of new tax and fee exclusive plans; and
•Higher premium services, primarily high-end rate plans, net of contra-revenues for content included in such plans, and discounts for specific affinity groups, such as 55+, military and first responders; partially offset by
•Increased promotional activity, including the success of bundled offerings; and
•Continued growth in T-Mobile for Business customers with lower ARPU given larger account sizes.
Prepaid ARPU
Prepaid ARPU decreased $1.31, or 4%, for the three months ended and decreased $1.87, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily from the inclusion of lower ARPU prepaid customers associated with the Ka’ena Acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before Interest expense, net of Interest income, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and certain expenses, gains and losses, which are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance (“Special Items”). Special Items include Sprint Merger-related costs, UScellular Merger-related costs, certain legal-related expenses, restructuring costs not directly attributable to the Sprint Merger or UScellular Merger (including severance), and other non-core gains and losses. Core Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA less device lease revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by Service revenues. Core Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Core Adjusted EBITDA divided by Service revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Core Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures utilized by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to monitor the financial performance of our operations and allocate resources of the Company as a whole. We historically used Adjusted EBITDA, and we currently use Core Adjusted EBITDA internally as a measure to evaluate and compensate our personnel and management for their performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance in comparison to our competitors. Management believes analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate overall operating performance and to facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications services companies because they are indicative of our 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, and Special Items. Management believes analysts and investors use Core Adjusted EBITDA because it normalizes for the transition in the Company’s device financing strategy, by excluding the impact of device lease revenues from Adjusted EBITDA, to align with the exclusion of the related depreciation expense on leased devices from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Core Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for income from operations, net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

The following table illustrates the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA to Net income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

Core Adjusted EBITDA increased $514 million, or 6%, for the three months ended and increased $1.2 billion, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The components comprising Core Adjusted EBITDA are discussed further above.
The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily from:
•Higher Total service revenues; and
•Higher Equipment revenues, excluding Lease revenues; partially offset by
•Higher Cost of equipment sales;
•Higher Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding Special Items; and
•Higher Cost of services, excluding Special Items.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $494 million, or 6%, for the three months ended and increased $1.1 billion, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the fluctuations in Core Adjusted EBITDA, discussed above, partially offset by lower lease revenues, which decreased $20 million for the three months ended and decreased $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations, proceeds from issuance of debt, financing leases, the sale of certain receivables, the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and an unsecured short-term commercial paper program. Further, the incurrence of additional indebtedness may inhibit our ability to incur new debt in the future to finance our business strategy under the terms governing our existing and future indebtedness.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Net cash provided by operating activities less cash payments for Purchases of property and equipment, plus Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized by management, investors and analysts of our financial information to evaluate cash available to pay debt, repurchase shares, pay dividends and provide further investment in the business. Adjusted Free Cash Flow margin is calculated as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Service revenues. Adjusted Free Cash Flow margin is utilized by management, investors, and analysts to evaluate the Company’s ability to convert service revenue efficiently into cash available to pay debt, repurchase shares, pay dividends and provide further investment in the business.
The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Net cash provided by operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased $157 million, or 4%, for the three months ended and increased $1.2 billion, or 15%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily from:
•Higher Net cash provided by operating activities, as described above; partially offset by
•Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions recognized in the prior year; and
•Higher Cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest, driven by planned timing of capital purchases.
•Adjusted Free Cash Flow includes the impact of $61 million and $241 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in net payments for Sprint Merger-related costs.
The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily from:

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no significant net cash proceeds from securitization.
On October 22, 2024, we executed amendments (the “Pledge Amendments”) to the EIP Sale Arrangement and the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement (as discussed in Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Following the effective date of the Pledge Amendments of November 1, 2024, all cash proceeds associated with the sale of such receivables, a portion of which, prior to November 1, 2024, were recognized as Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions within Net cash used in investing activities on our
52
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were recognized as operating cash flows. The Pledge Amendments did not have a net impact on Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
Borrowing Capacity
We maintain a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with an aggregate commitment amount of $7.5 billion. As of June 30, 2025, there was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We maintain an unsecured short-term commercial paper program with the ability to borrow up to $2.0 billion from time to time. This program supplements our other available external financing arrangements and proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2025, there was no outstanding balance under this program.
Debt Financing
On January 31, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, T-Mobile USA, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions, backed by an Export Credit Agency (the “ECA Facility”), providing for a loan of up to $1.0 billion. On March 17, 2025, we drew down the full $1.0 billion available under the ECA Facility and recognized the net proceeds within Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As of June 30, 2025, our total debt and financing lease liabilities were $85.3 billion, excluding our tower obligations, of which $76.5 billion was classified as long-term debt and $1.2 billion was classified as long-term financing lease liabilities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we issued long-term debt for net proceeds of $7.8 billion, including proceeds from the ECA Facility, and repaid short-term debt with an aggregate principal amount of $3.7 billion.
For more information regarding our debt financing transactions, see Note 8 – Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
License Purchase Agreements
On August 8, 2022, we entered into License Purchase Agreements to acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC (together with Channel 51 License Co LLC, the “Sellers”) in exchange for total cash consideration of $3.5 billion. On March 30, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements, pursuant to which we and the Sellers agreed to bifurcate the transaction into two tranches of licenses, with the closings on the acquisitions of certain licenses in Chicago, Dallas and New Orleans being deferred in order to potentially expedite the regulatory approval process for the remainder of the licenses. Subsequently, on August 25, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amendments No. 1 to the Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements, whereby we deferred the closings of certain additional licenses in Chicago and Dallas into the second closing tranche. Together, the licenses with closings deferred into the second closing tranche represent approximately $1.1 billion of the aggregate $3.5 billion cash consideration.
The FCC approved the purchase of the first tranche on December 29, 2023. The first tranche closed on June 24, 2024, and the associated payment of $2.4 billion was made on August 5, 2024.
The FCC approved the purchase of the Dallas licenses included in the second tranche on October 22, 2024. The purchase of the Dallas licenses closed on December 6, 2024, and the associated payment of $541 million was made on the same day.
The FCC approved the remaining Chicago and New Orleans deferred licenses from the second tranche on April 15, 2025. The purchase of the remaining licenses closed on June 2, 2025, and the associated payment of $604 million was made on the same day.
On September 12, 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with Comcast (the “Comcast License Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Comcast in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion, subject to an application for FCC approval. The licenses are subject to an exclusive leasing arrangement between us and Comcast entered into contemporaneously with the Comcast License Purchase Agreement. On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the Comcast License Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum. Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion. We anticipate the closing will occur in the first half of 2028.
53
On September 10, 2024, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with N77 License Co LLC (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer has the option to purchase all or a portion of our remaining 3.45 GHz spectrum licenses in exchange for a range of cash consideration, with the specific licenses sold to be determined based upon the amount of committed financing raised by Buyer. Following receipt of the required regulatory approvals, on April 30, 2025, we completed the sale of a portion of our 3.45 GHz spectrum licenses for $2.0 billion.
On May 30, 2025, we entered into a License and Unit Purchase Agreement with NEWLEVEL IV, L.P. and NEWLEVEL, LLC, both of which are affiliates of Grain Management, LLC (“Grain”), pursuant to which we will sell our 800 MHz spectrum licenses in exchange for cash consideration of $2.9 billion and the receipt of Grain’s 600 MHz spectrum licenses, which we are currently utilizing under lease agreements with Grain. In addition, we may receive a share of certain future proceeds from transactions entered into by Grain that monetize the 800 MHz spectrum licenses, subject to certain terms and conditions and following a certain return on invested capital for Grain. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and contingent on the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the FCC’s approval regarding certain modifications to the 800 MHz spectrum licenses, and is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025 or first quarter of 2026. In addition, we expect an increase to our cash income tax liability of approximately $850 million upon the transaction close.
Lumos Joint Venture
On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with Fund VI to establish a joint venture between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructure III. On April 1, 2025, we completed the joint acquisition of Lumos. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $932 million to acquire a 50% equity interest in the joint venture and 97,000 fiber customers. The funds invested by us will be used to fund future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million between 2027 and 2028 under the existing business plan.
For more information regarding the Lumos joint venture, see Note 3 – Joint Ventures of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation
On May 1, 2024, we completed the Ka’ena Acquisition. The total purchase price consists of an upfront payment on the Ka’ena Acquisition Date and an earnout payable on August 1, 2026.
Based on the adjusted amount paid upfront, an additional $420 million in future cash and T-Mobile common stock is payable in satisfaction of the earnout.
For more information regarding the Ka’ena Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of UScellular Wireless Business
On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with UScellular pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select spectrum assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payable in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through exchange offers to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing.
On May 23, 2025, we launched exchange offers for any and all of certain outstanding senior notes of UScellular. In conjunction with the Exchange Offers, we also solicited consents for each series of the outstanding senior notes of UScellular to effect a number of amendments to the applicable indenture under which each such series of notes were issued and are governed. As of July 1, 2025, the total principal amount of certain outstanding UScellular senior notes validly tendered was $1.7 billion. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the Exchange Offers, their senior notes will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. The consummation of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the closing of the UScellular Acquisition and will expire on August 1, 2025.
On July 11, 2025, we received all necessary regulatory approvals, and the UScellular Acquisition is expected to close on August 1, 2025.
On July 22, 2025, we entered into asset purchase agreements for the acquisition of substantially all of the wireless operations assets of each of Farmers Cellular Telephone Company, Inc., Iowa RSA No. 9 Limited Partnership, and Iowa RSA No. 12
54
Limited Partnership (collectively, the “Iowa Entities”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $170 million. These transactions are expected to close concurrently with the UScellular Acquisition on August 1, 2025.
Following the closing of the transaction, UScellular will retain ownership of its other spectrum, as well as its towers. Subject to the closing of the transaction, we will enter into a 15-year master license agreement to lease space on at least 2,100 towers being retained and to extend our tenancy term on approximately 600 towers where we are already leasing space from UScellular for 15 years post-closing. We estimate the incremental future minimum lease payments associated with the master license agreement will be $1.4 billion over 15 years post-closing.
Metronet Joint Venture
On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR to establish a joint venture to acquire Metronet. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.6 billion, adjusted for Metronet’s incremental pre-close debt financing, to acquire a 50% equity interest in the joint venture and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding of the joint venture. We do not anticipate making further capital contributions following the closing under the existing business plan. On July 9, 2025, we received all necessary regulatory approvals, and the joint acquisition of Metronet is expected to close on July 24, 2025.
For more information regarding the Metronet joint venture, see Note 3 – Joint Ventures of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Vistar Media Inc.
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on February 3, 2025, we completed the Vistar Acquisition, and as a result, Vistar became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. In exchange, we transferred cash of $621 million.
For more information regarding the Vistar Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisition of Blis Holdco Limited
Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on March 3, 2025, we completed the Blis Acquisition, and as a result, Blis became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. In exchange, we transferred cash of $180 million.
For more information regarding the Blis Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have arrangements, as amended from time to time, to sell certain EIP accounts receivable and service accounts receivable on a revolving basis as a source of liquidity. As of June 30, 2025, we derecognized net receivables of $1.6 billion upon sale through these arrangements.
For more information regarding these off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity
We may seek additional sources of liquidity, including through the issuance of additional debt, to continue to opportunistically acquire spectrum licenses or other long-lived assets in private party transactions, make strategic investments, repurchase shares, pay dividends or for the refinancing of existing long-term debt on an opportunistic basis. Excluding liquidity that could be needed for acquisitions of businesses, spectrum and other long-lived assets, or for any potential stockholder returns, we expect our principal sources of funding to be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next 12 months, as well as our longer-term liquidity needs. Our intended use of any such funds is for general corporate purposes, including for capital expenditures, spectrum purchases, opportunistic investments and acquisitions, redemption of debt, tower obligations, share repurchases, and dividend payments.
55
We determine future liquidity requirements for operations, capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividend payments based in large part upon projected financial and operating performance, and opportunities to acquire additional spectrum or repurchase shares. We regularly review and update these projections for changes in current and projected financial and operating results, general economic conditions, the competitive landscape and other factors. We have incurred, and will incur, substantial expenses to comply with the Government Commitments (as defined below), and we have incurred all of the remaining restructuring and integration costs associated with the Sprint Merger, with the cash expenditures for the Sprint Merger-related costs extending beyond 2024. There are a number of additional risks and uncertainties that could cause our financial and operating results and capital requirements to differ materially from our projections, which could cause future liquidity to differ materially from our assessment.
The indentures, supplemental indentures and credit agreements governing our long-term debt to affiliates and third parties, excluding financing leases, contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers or borrowers and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to incur more debt, create liens or other encumbrances, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets. We were in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants as of June 30, 2025.
Financing Lease Facilities
We have uncommitted financing lease facilities with certain third parties that provide us with the ability to enter into financing leases for network equipment and services. We expect to enter into up to a total of $1.2 billion in financing lease commitments during the year ending December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we have entered into $10.6 billion of financing leases under these financing lease facilities, of which $424 million and $667 million was executed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Capital Expenditures
Our liquidity requirements for capital expenditures have been driven primarily by capital expenditures for spectrum licenses, the construction, expansion and upgrading of our network infrastructure, the integration of the networks, spectrum, technology, personnel and customer base of T-Mobile and Sprint, which is substantially complete, and investments in information technology platforms. We expect to maintain our investment in capital expenditures related to these efforts in 2025 compared to 2024, as we continue to build out our nationwide 5G network and our digital transformation. Future capital expenditure requirements will be primarily driven by the deployment of acquired spectrum licenses.
For more information regarding our spectrum licenses, see Note 6 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Stockholder Returns
On December 13, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized our 2025 Stockholder Return Program of up to $14.0 billion that will run through December 31, 2025. The 2025 Stockholder Return Program consists of repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The declaration and payment of all dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on financial and legal requirements and other considerations. The amount available under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us.
The 2025 Stockholder Return Program is consistent with the Company’s capital allocation framework outlined during its Capital Markets Day in September 2024. As discussed at Capital Markets Day, the Company expects its business plan to support approximately $80.0 billion in investments and capital returns between September 18, 2024, and the end of 2027. The Company currently plans to allocate such funds as follows:
•Up to $50.0 billion for share repurchases and cash dividends, which includes the 2025 Stockholder Return Program;
•Approximately $19.0 billion in a discretionary and flexible envelope for potential activities, which may include de-levering, investments in our core business, strategic investments, and/or additional capital returns to stockholders beyond the $50.0 billion initial allocation; and
•Approximately $11.0 billion for announced transactions, including the acquisitions closed during the six months ended June 30, 2025. See Note 2 - Business Combinations, Note 3 - Joint Ventures and Note 6 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets for additional information.

On November 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2025.
On February 6, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on June 12, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 30, 2025.
On June 5, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which will be paid on September 11, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we paid an aggregate of $996 million and $2.0 billion, respectively, in cash dividends to our stockholders, which was presented within Net cash used in financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2025, $986 million for dividends payable is presented within Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 10,148,791 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $243.32 for a total purchase price of $2.5 billion, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 20,240,018 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $244.04 for a total purchase price of $4.9 billion, under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program. As of June 30, 2025, we had up to $7.1 billion remaining under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2025.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, from July 1, 2025, through July 18, 2025, we repurchased 2,032,767 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $232.16 for a total purchase price of $472 million under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program. As of July 18, 2025, we had up to $6.6 billion remaining under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2025.
For additional information regarding the 2025 Stockholder Return Program, see Note 12 – Stockholder Return Program of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Related Party Transactions
We have related party transactions associated with DT, SoftBank or their respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business, including intercompany servicing and licensing.
As of July 18, 2025, DT and SoftBank held, directly or indirectly, approximately 52.2% and 5.7%, respectively, of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, with the remaining approximately 42.1% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held by other stockholders. As a result of the Proxy, Lock-Up and ROFR Agreement, dated April 1, 2020, by and between DT and SoftBank, DT has voting control, as of July 18, 2025, over approximately 57.5% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock.
Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act
Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and the Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Exchange Act. Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with designated natural persons or entities involved in terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Disclosure is required even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted outside the U.S. by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not the activities are sanctionable under U.S. law.
As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any activity, transaction or dealing by us or any of our affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2025, that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, except as set forth below with respect to affiliates that we do not control and that are our affiliates solely due to their common control with either DT or SoftBank. We have relied upon DT and SoftBank for information regarding their respective activities, transactions and dealings.
DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, is party to roaming and interconnect agreements with the following mobile and fixed line telecommunication providers in Iran, some of which are or may be government-controlled entities: Irancell Telecommunications Services Company, Telecommunication Kish Company, Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran, and Telecommunication Infrastructure Company of Iran. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided basic telecommunications services to seven customers in Germany identified on
57
the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control: Bank Melli, Europäisch-Iranische Handelsbank, CPG Engineering & Commercial Services GmbH, Golgohar Trade and Technology GmbH, International Trade and Industrial Technology ITRITEC GmbH, The Airline of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Kara Industrial Trading GmbH. These services are in the process of being terminated, in particular by undertaking appropriate legal steps before German courts. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, gross revenues of all DT affiliates generated by roaming and interconnection traffic and telecommunications services with the Iranian parties identified herein were less than $0.1 million, and the estimated net profits were less than $0.1 million.
In addition, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate a fixed-line network in their respective European home countries (in particular, Germany), provides telecommunications services in the ordinary course of business to the Embassy of Iran in those European countries. Gross revenues and net profits recorded from these activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were less than $0.1 million. We understand that DT intends to continue these activities.
Separately, SoftBank, through one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, provides roaming services in Iran through Irancell Telecommunications Services Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, SoftBank had no gross revenues from such services, and no net profit was generated. We understand that the SoftBank subsidiary intends to continue such services. This subsidiary also provides telecommunications services in the ordinary course of business to accounts affiliated with the Embassy of Iran in Japan. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, SoftBank estimates that gross revenues and net profit generated by such services were both under $0.1 million. We understand that the SoftBank subsidiary is obligated under contract and intends to continue such services.
In addition, SoftBank, through one of its non-U.S. indirect subsidiaries, provides office supplies to the Embassy of Iran in Japan. SoftBank estimates that gross revenues and net profit generated by such services during the three months ended June 30, 2025, were both under $0.1 million. We understand that the SoftBank subsidiary intends to continue such activities.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
For information regarding recently issued accounting standards, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to economic risks in the normal course of business, primarily from changes in interest rates, including changes in investment yields and changes in spreads due to credit risk, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other factors. These risks, along with other business risks, impact our cost of capital. Our policy is to manage exposure related to fluctuations in interest rates in order to manage capital costs, control financial risks and maintain financial flexibility over the long term. We have established interest rate risk limits that are closely monitored by measuring interest rate sensitivities of our debt portfolio. As of June 30, 2025, we have €4.8 billion outstanding in EUR-denominated Senior Notes, which are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have entered into cross-currency swap agreements that qualify and have been designated as fair value hedges of our EUR-denominated debt, mitigating our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We do not foresee significant changes in the strategies used to manage market risk in the near future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls include the use of a Disclosure Committee that is comprised of representatives from our Accounting, Legal, Treasury, Technology, Risk Management, Government Affairs and Investor Relations functions and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under
58
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
The certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) are filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the second quarter of 2025, we began implementation of a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years and will replace many of our operating and financial systems. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records, support integrated billing, supply chain and other operational functionality, facilitate data analysis and accelerate information reporting to our management team related to the operation of the business. During the second quarter of 2025, we made changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address processes impacted by the ERP system implementation.
As the phased implementation of the new ERP system continues, we could have additional changes to our processes and procedures which, in turn, could result in additional changes to our internal control over financial reporting. As such changes occur, we will evaluate quarterly whether such changes materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than the above-noted changes, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For more information regarding the legal proceedings in which we are involved, see Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the updated risk factors below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Any acquisition, divestiture, investment, joint venture or merger may subject us to significant risks, any of which may harm our business.
We may pursue acquisitions of, investments in, or joint ventures or mergers with, other companies, or the acquisition of technologies, services, products or other assets that we believe would complement or expand our business. We may also elect to divest some of our assets to third parties. Some of these potential transactions could be significant relative to the size of our business and operations. Any such transaction would involve a number of risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:
•diversion of management attention from running our existing business;
•increased costs to integrate the networks, spectrum, technology, personnel, customer base, distributors and business partners and business practices of the company involved in any such transaction with our business;
•increased interest expense and leverage or limits on other uses of cash;
•potential loss of talent during integration due to differences in culture, locations, or other factors;
•difficulties in effectively integrating the financial, operational and sustainability systems of the business involved in any such transaction into (or supplanting such systems with) our financial, operational and sustainability reporting infrastructure and internal control framework in an effective and timely manner;
•risks of entering markets in which the Company has no or limited experience and where competitors have stronger market positions;
•to the extent any acquired business has any international operations, potential exposures to risks associated with maintaining and expanding such operations, including unfavorable and uncertain regulatory, political, economic, tax and labor conditions;
•potential exposure to material liabilities not discovered in the due diligence process or as a result of any litigation arising in connection with any such transaction;
•significant transaction-related expenses in connection with any such transaction, whether consummated or not;
•risks related to our ability to obtain any required regulatory approvals necessary to consummate any such transaction; and
•any business, technology, service, or product involved in any such transaction may significantly under-perform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect from the transaction, which could, among other things, also result in a write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with such transaction.
We have entered into joint venture agreements aimed at establishing a robust fiber broadband network that complements our fixed wireless services. Once closed, differences in views among the joint venture participants may result in delayed decisions or disputes. Operating through joint ventures in which we do not hold a majority ownership interest results in us having limited control over many decisions made with respect to the businesses of the joint ventures. We also cannot control the actions of our joint venture partners. These joint ventures may not be subject to the same requirements regarding internal controls and internal control over financial reporting that we follow. As a result, internal control problems may arise with respect to these joint ventures. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could also affect our reputation.
Additionally, in connection with our Sprint Merger and related transactions, including the acquisition by DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) of certain prepaid wireless business (the “Prepaid Transaction”), we agreed to fulfill various government commitments (the “Government Commitments”), including, among others, extensive 5G network build-out, delivering high-speed wireless services to the vast majority of Americans and marketing our in-home fixed wireless product to households
60
where spectrum capacity is sufficient, as well as commitments related to national security, pricing and availability of rate plans. These Government Commitments materially increased our compliance obligations and could result in additional expenses and/or penalties in the future. In connection with the Prepaid Transaction, we and DISH entered into certain arrangements, including a Master Network Services Agreement (the “MNSA”), pursuant to which we provide DISH, for a period of seven years, network services for certain end users and infrastructure mobile network operator services to assist in the access and integration of the DISH network.
Any failure to fulfill our obligations under the Government Commitments and the MNSA in a timely manner could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions, liabilities, and reputational harm.
Economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Our business, financial condition, and operating results are affected by changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates, consumer credit conditions, consumer debt levels, consumer confidence, unemployment rates, economic growth, tariffs and trade restrictions, fluctuations in global currencies, immigration policies, energy costs, rates of inflation (or concerns about deflation), supply chain disruptions, impacts of current geopolitical conflict or instability, such as the Ukraine-Russia, Iran-Israel and Israel-Hamas wars and further escalations thereof, and other macroeconomic factors.
The wireless industry, broadly, is dependent on population growth, including growth in the immigrant population. As a result, we expect the wireless industry’s customer growth rate to be moderate in comparison with historical growth rates, leading to ongoing competition for customers. In addition, the Government Commitments place certain limitations on our ability to increase prices, which limits our ability to pass along growing costs to customers. Rising prices for goods, services, and labor due to inflation, including inflation resulting from higher tariffs, restrictions and other economic disincentives to trade, could adversely impact our margins and/or growth.
Our services and device financing plans are available to a broad customer base, a significant segment of which may be vulnerable to weak economic conditions, particularly our subprime customers. We may have greater difficulty in gaining new customers within this segment, and existing customers may be more likely to terminate service and default on device financing plans due to an inability to pay.
Weak economic and credit conditions may also adversely impact our suppliers, dealers, wholesale partners or MVNOs, and enterprise and government customers, some of which may file for bankruptcy, or may experience cash flow or liquidity problems, or may be unable to obtain or refinance credit such that they may no longer be able to operate. Any of these could adversely impact our ability to distribute, market, or sell our products and services.
Changes to trade policies, including higher tariffs, restrictions and other economic disincentives to trade, may lead to operational delays, higher procurement and operational costs, and regulatory and compliance complexities, resulting in supply chain disruptions and higher prices and lower demand for devices and services we sell.
As a provider of telecommunications services, we depend on suppliers to provide us, directly or through other suppliers, with items such as equipment for our network, handsets, tablets, accessories, other mobile communication devices, other components and raw materials. Changes or proposed changes in U.S. or other countries’ trade policies that result in higher tariffs, restrictions and other economic disincentives to international trade may materially increase the costs we incur in developing, deploying and maintaining our network and offering products and services to our customers. A certain portion of the increased costs may be absorbed by certain suppliers, but some suppliers may struggle to absorb the increased costs, especially over the long term, potentially leading to supply disruptions or cost pass-throughs to us, which may lead to us increasing the prices we charge our customers. In addition, rapid changes in trade policies may negatively affect procurement timelines and supplier relationships and may introduce new compliance requirements. We may face potential delays in sourcing critical equipment due to customs clearance and supply chain bottlenecks, and material changes to cost structures could pressure our expenses and customer pricing.
Our attempts to mitigate potential disruptions to our supply chain and offset procurement and operational cost pressures, such as through alternative sourcing and/or increases in the selling prices of some of our products and services, may not be successful. Higher product or service prices for our customers may make it more difficult to attract new customers or cause increases in customer churn. Furthermore, we may not be able to offset any cost increases through productivity and cost-saving initiatives. To the extent that cost increases result in significant increases in our expenditures, or if our price increases are not sufficient to offset these increased costs adequately or in a timely manner, and/or if our revenues decrease, our business, financial condition or operating results may be adversely affected.
