We are not able to forecast Net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP Net income including, but not limited to, Income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense and Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.

BELLEVUE, Wash. - February 6, 2020 - T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) once again delivered incredible results in the fourth quarter of 2019, reporting strong net customer additions including 1.9 million total net customer additions, the 27th quarter in a row with more than 1 million total net customer additions. Our 1.0 million branded postpaid phone net customer additions led the industry once again. For full-year 2019, T-Mobile had 7.0 million total net customer additions, including 4.5 million branded postpaid net customer additions - beating its increased customer guidance range of 4.1 to 4.3 million for the full-year 2019. In addition, we reported all-time record-high financial results, including service and total revenues, as well as record Q4 Adjusted EBITDA. These results concluded another record-breaking year for the Un-carrier, in which we delivered strong customer growth and record financial results for the full-year 2019 - once again beating our full-year guidance.

In December 2019, T-Mobile launched America’s first nationwide 5G network, including prepaid 5G with Metro by T-Mobile, covering more than 200 million people and more than 5,000 cities and towns across the United States with 5G. In addition, we introduced two new 600 MHz 5G capable superphones, the exclusive OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G and anticipate offering an industry-leading smartphone portfolio built to work on nationwide 5G in 2020. This 5G network is the foundational layer of 5G coverage and it’s just the beginning! With the New T-Mobile, we will be able to combine this foundational layer of 5G with Sprint’s 2.5 GHz mid-band spectrum, resulting in a broad and deep nationwide 5G experience for everyone, everywhere. And, T-Mobile continues to invest in building its nationwide 4G LTE network, which now covers 327 million Americans, and continues to rapidly deploy its 600 MHz spectrum, which now covers 248 million people, and is live in nearly 8,900 cities and towns across 49 states and Puerto Rico.

“T-Mobile continues to deliver incredible results quarter after quarter! In Q4 we set new financial records across the board and recorded our 27th consecutive quarter with over 1 million total net customer additions,” said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile. “We achieved these spectacular results all while launching the first and only nationwide 5G network, announcing Un-carrier 1.0 for New T-Mobile, and delivering a compelling and fact-based argument in court to support our pending merger. Our results continue to show that the Un-carrier strategy works, and it delivers for both customers and shareholders. I couldn’t be more confident and excited about our future and We Won’t Stop!”

Strong Customer Growth

T-Mobile continues to deliver strong customer growth, and in Q4 2019 set a record of 27 consecutive quarters of more than 1 million total net customer additions. We once again led the industry in branded postpaid phone net customer additions.

•

Branded postpaid phone net customer additions were 1.0 million in Q4 2019, down 19,000 year-over-year. This slight decrease was primarily due to higher deactivations from a growing customer base, partially offset by higher gross customer additions. Q4 2019 was the 24th consecutive quarter in which T-Mobile led the industry in this category. For full-year 2019, branded postpaid phone net customer additions were 3.1 million, up 24,000 primarily due to lower churn, the 6th straight year in which T-Mobile led the industry in this category.


•	Branded postpaid other net customer additions were 313,000 in Q4 2019, down 25,000 year-over-year. This decrease was primarily due to higher deactivations from a growing customer base. Branded postpaid other net customer additions were a record 1.4 million in full-year 2019, up 32,000 primarily due to additions from other connected devices.

•

Branded postpaid phone churn was 1.01% in Q4 2019, essentially flat year-over-year, reflecting continued strong brand loyalty in a heightened competitive environment. For full-year 2019, branded postpaid phone churn decreased 12 basis points to 0.89%, primarily due to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty from ongoing improvements to network quality, industry-leading customer service and the overall value of our offerings.


•	Branded prepaid net customer additions were 77,000 in Q4 2019 and 339,000 in full-year 2019. Migrations to branded postpaid plans reduced branded prepaid net customer additions by approximately 160,000 in Q4 2019 and 525,000 for full-year 2019.


•	Branded prepaid churn was 3.97% in Q4 2019, essentially flat year-over-year and down 14 basis points to 3.82% in full-year 2019, primarily due to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty from ongoing improvements to network quality and the continued success of our prepaid brands due to promotional activities and rate plan offers.

Record Financial Performance

T-Mobile’s strong financial performance in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019 proves that our strategy is not only good for customers, it’s also good for stockholders. We continue to successfully translate customer growth into industry-leading service revenue growth.

The following discussion is for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018 unless otherwise stated.


•	Total service revenues increased 6% to a record-high of $8.7 billion in Q4 2019 and 6% to a record-high of $34.0 billion in full-year 2019. These results represent our best quarterly and full-year performance ever and we led the industry for the 23rd consecutive quarter in year-over-year service revenue percentage growth. Branded postpaid revenues increased 8% year-over-year.

•	Total revenues increased 4% to a record-high of $11.9 billion in Q4 2019 and increased 4% to a record-high of $45.0 billion in full-year 2019, driven by growth in service revenues, partially offset by a decrease in equipment revenues.

•

Branded postpaid phone Average Revenue per User (ARPU) decreased 1.1% to $45.79 in Q4 2019 and decreased 0.8% to $46.04 in full-year 2019. The slight decrease in both periods was primarily due to increased promotional activities, including growth in our Netflix offering, and a reduction in regulatory program revenues from the continued adoption of tax inclusive plans. Also impacting Q4 2019 was the impact of a reduction in the non-cash, non-recurring benefit related to Data Stash as the majority of customers had transitioned to unlimited plans by Q3 2019. These decreases were partially offset by the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans and higher premium services revenue.

We expect Branded postpaid phone ARPU in full-year 2020 to be generally stable compared to full-year 2019 within a range of plus 1% to minus 1%.

•

Branded prepaid ARPU was essentially flat at $38.54 in Q4 2019 and down 1.5% to $37.95 in full-year 2019, primarily due to the impact of dilution from promotional activity and growth in our Amazon Prime offering, partially offset by the removal of certain branded prepaid customers associated with products now offered and distributed by a current MVNO partner as those customers had lower Branded prepaid ARPU.


•	Net income increased 17% to $751 million in Q4 2019 and 20% to $3.5 billion in full-year 2019, primarily due to higher Operating income. Net income was impacted by the following:


◦	Merger-related costs of $105 million and $501 million in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively, compared to merger-related costs of $88 million and $180 million in the same periods of 2018, respectively.


◦	The year-over-year and full-year 2019 impact from commission costs capitalized and amortized beginning upon the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, reduced Net income by $69 million and $249 million, respectively.


◦	The negative impact of hurricane costs, net of insurance reimbursements, was $11 million in Q4 2018. The positive impact of hurricane-related reimbursements, net of costs, was $99 million in 2018. There were no significant impacts from hurricanes in 2019.


◦	The positive impact of the new lease standard of approximately $44 million and $175 million in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively.


•	EPS increased 16% to $0.87 in Q4 2019 and 20% to $4.02 in full-year 2019. EPS was impacted by the following:


◦	The impact from merger-related costs of $0.12 and $0.58 in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively, compared to the impact from merger-related costs of $0.10 and $0.21 in the same periods of 2018.


◦	The year-over-year and full-year 2019 impact from commission costs capitalized and amortized beginning upon the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, reduced EPS by $0.08 and $0.29, respectively.


◦	The negative impact of hurricane costs, net of insurance reimbursements, was $0.01 in Q4 2018. The positive impact of hurricane-related reimbursements, net of costs, was $0.12 in 2018. There were no significant impacts from hurricanes in 2019.


◦	The positive impact of the new lease standard of approximately $0.05 and $0.20 in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively.

•	Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to a Q4 record $3.2 billion in Q4 2019 and 8% to a record $13.4 billion in full-year 2019, primarily due to higher service revenues, partially offset by higher Selling, general and administrative expenses and higher Cost of services expenses. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by the following:


◦	The impact from commission costs capitalized and amortized, beginning upon the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, reduced Adjusted EBITDA by $93 million year-over-year and $337 million in 2019 compared to 2018.


◦	The negative impact of hurricane costs, net of insurance reimbursements, was $14 million in Q4 2018. The positive impact of hurricane-related reimbursements, net of costs, was $158 million in 2018. There were no significant impacts from hurricanes in 2019.


◦	The positive impact of the new lease standard of approximately $49 million and $195 million in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively.


◦	Excluded from Adjusted EBITDA were merger-related costs of $126 million and $620 million in Q4 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively, compared to $102 million and $196 million in the same periods of 2018.


•	Net cash provided by operating activities increased 61% to $1.5 billion in Q4 2019 and 75% to $6.8 billion in full-year 2019. These increases primarily resulted from higher Net income and net non-cash adjustments to Net income and lower net cash outflows from changes in working capital.

•

Cash purchases of property and equipment were essentially flat at $1.2 billion in Q4 2019, including capitalized interest of $112 million. For full-year 2019, cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest of $473 million, increased 15% to $6.4 billion due to expenditures for the accelerated launch of our 5G network and the continued build-out of our 600 MHz low-band spectrum.

•

Free Cash Flow increased 15% to $1.4 billion in Q4 2019 and 22% to $4.3 billion in full-year 2019, primarily due to higher net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by lower proceeds related to our deferred purchase price from securitization transactions. Excluding the impact of payments for merger-related costs of $133 million in Q4 2019 and $442 million in full-year 2019, Free Cash Flow was $1.5 billion in Q4 2019 and $4.8 billion in full-year 2019.

First Nationwide 5G Network

T-Mobile continues to expand the footprint and improve the quality of its network to better serve its customers. 327 million Americans are covered by our 4G LTE network, and our rapid deployment of 600 MHz spectrum provides customers with even better coverage and supports the launch of our nationwide 5G network. Highlights from Q4 2019 include:

•

Nationwide 5G: In December 2019, T-Mobile launched America’s first nationwide 5G network, including prepaid 5G with Metro by T-Mobile, covering more than 200 million people and more than 5,000 cities and towns across the United States with 5G. In addition, we introduced two new 600 MHz 5G capable superphones, the exclusive OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren and the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G and anticipate offering an industry-leading smartphone portfolio built to work on nationwide 5G in 2020. This 5G network is our foundational layer of 5G coverage on 600 MHz low-band spectrum and this is just the beginning! T-Mobile’s 5G covers more than 60% of the population across more than 1 million square miles. T-Mobile’s 5G network works indoors and is available to anyone with a capable device. We have also rolled out 5G on millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum in parts of 7 cities, including New York and most recently Miami.

•

Deployment of 600 MHz spectrum: At the end of Q4 2019, T-Mobile owned a nationwide average of 31 MHz of 600 MHz low-band spectrum. As of December 31, 2019, we had cleared 275 million POPs and we expect to clear the remaining 600 MHz POPs in 2020. T-Mobile continues its deployment of 4G LTE on 600 MHz spectrum, using 5G-ready equipment, with 1.5 million square miles already lit up, covering 248 million POPs in nearly 8,900 cities and towns in 49 states and Puerto Rico. Combining 600 MHz spectrum and 700 MHz spectrum, we have deployed low-band spectrum to 316 million POPs. Currently, more than 33 million devices on T-Mobile’s network are compatible with 600 MHz spectrum.

Strong Standalone Outlook for 2020

The following represents T-Mobile standalone guidance.

We expect postpaid net customer additions between 2.6 and 3.6 million in 2020.

Net income is not available on a forward-looking basis.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $13.7 to $14.0 billion in 2020. Our Adjusted EBITDA target includes leasing revenues of $450 to $550 million and takes into account our network expansion, including the continued deployment of our 600 MHz spectrum and 5G network.

Cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest of approximately $400 million, are expected to be between $5.9 and $6.2 billion for full-year 2020. Cash purchases of property and equipment, excluding capitalized interest, are expected to be between $5.5 and $5.8 billion. We expect that cash purchases of property and equipment will be heavily weighted to early in the year, similar to 2019.

In Q1 2020, pre-close merger-related costs are expected to be $200 to $300 million before taxes.

Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding payments for merger-related costs and any settlement of interest rate swaps, is expected to be in the range of $7.9 to $8.5 billion.

Free Cash Flow, excluding payments for merger-related costs and any settlement of interest rate swaps, is expected to be in the range of $5.4 to $5.8 billion. We expect a similar seasonal development of Free Cash Flow in 2020 as in 2019 with a lower Free Cash Flow in the first quarter, ramping in later quarters, based on expected timing for cash purchases of property and equipment.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

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

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Net income as follows:

(1)	Stock-based compensation includes payroll tax impacts and may not agree to stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, certain stock-based compensation expenses associated with the Transactions have been included in Merger-related costs.


(2)	Other, net may not agree to the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, primarily due to certain non-routine operating activities, such as other special items that would not be expected to reoccur or are not reflective of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance, and are therefore excluded in Adjusted EBITDA.

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

In Q1 2019, the adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in a reclassification of capital lease liabilities previously included in Short-term debt and Long-term debt to Short-term financing lease liabilities and Financing lease liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In Q1 2019, we redefined Net debt (excluding Tower obligations) to reflect the above changes in classification and present Net debt (excluding tower obligations) on a consistent basis for investor transparency. The effects of this change are applied prospectively, consistent with the adoption of the standard. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for additional details.

T-Mobile 5G Coverage Map

(as of December 31, 2019)

NETWORK

▪

On December 2, 2019, T-Mobile launched America’s first nationwide 5G network, including prepaid 5G with Metro by T-Mobile, covering more than 200 million people and more than 5,000 cities and towns across over 1 million square miles with 5G. In addition, we introduced two new 600 MHz 5G capable superphones, the exclusive OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren and the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G and anticipate offering an industry-leading smartphone portfolio built to work on nationwide 5G in 2020. This 5G network is our foundational layer of 5G coverage on 600 MHz low-band spectrum.


▪	Should we close our merger with Sprint, we will rapidly deploy 5G on Sprint’s 2.5 GHz spectrum, completing the “layer cake” of spectrum and providing consumers with an unmatched 5G experience.


▪	On June 28, 2019, T-Mobile introduced its 5G network using high-band millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum in conjunction with the introduction of our first 5G handset, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. The 5G network on mmWave spectrum has been rolled out in parts of seven cities (New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Cleveland, Las Vegas and Miami).

600 MHz Spectrum


▪	At the end of Q4 2019, T-Mobile owned a nationwide average of 31 MHz of 600 MHz low-band spectrum. In total, T-Mobile owns approximately 41 MHz of low-band spectrum (600 MHz and 700 MHz). The spectrum covers 100% of the U.S.


▪	As of the end of Q4 2019, T-Mobile had cleared 275 million POPs and expects to clear the remaining 600 MHz spectrum POPs in 2020.


▪	T-Mobile continues its deployment of LTE on 600 MHz spectrum using 5G-ready equipment. At the end of Q4 2019, we were live with 4G LTE in nearly 8,900 cities and towns in 49 states and Puerto Rico covering 1.5 million square miles and 248 million POPs.


▪	Combining 600 and 700 MHz spectrum, we have deployed 4G LTE in low-band spectrum to 316 million POPs.


▪	Currently, more than 33 million devices on T-Mobile’s network are compatible with 600 MHz spectrum.

Depth of T-Mobile’s Nationwide Low-Band Spectrum (600 MHz and 700 MHz)

Depth of T-Mobile’s Nationwide mmWave Spectrum

Spectrum Position


▪	At the end of Q4 2019, T-Mobile owned an average of 111 MHz of spectrum nationwide, not including mmWave spectrum. The spectrum comprises an average of 31 MHz in the 600 MHz band, 10 MHz in the 700 MHz band, 29 MHz in the 1900 MHz PCS band, and 41 MHz in the AWS band.


▪	On June 3, 2019, the FCC announced the results of Auctions 101 (28 GHz spectrum) and 102 (24 GHz spectrum). In the combined auctions, T-Mobile spent $842 million to more than quadruple its nationwide average total mmWave spectrum holdings from 104 MHz to 471 MHz.


▪	We will evaluate future spectrum purchases in upcoming auctions and in the secondary market to further augment our current spectrum position. We are not aware of any such spectrum purchase options that come close to matching the efficiencies and synergies possible from merging with Sprint.

Network Coverage Growth


▪	T-Mobile continues to expand its coverage breadth and covered 327 million people with 4G LTE at the end of Q4 2019.


▪	At the end of Q4 2019, T-Mobile had equipment deployed on approximately 66,000 macro cell sites and 25,000 small cell/distributed antenna system sites.

Network Capacity Growth

▪

Due to industry spectrum limitations (especially in mid-band), T-Mobile continues to make efforts to expand its capacity and increase the quality of its network through the re-farming of existing spectrum and implementation of new technologies including Voice over LTE (“VoLTE”), Carrier Aggregation, 4x4 multiple-input and multiple-output (“MIMO”), 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (“QAM”) and License Assisted Access (“LAA”).


▪	VoLTE comprised 90% of total voice calls in Q4 2019, flat with 90% in Q3 2019 and up from 87% in Q4 2018.


▪	Carrier aggregation is live for T-Mobile customers in 969 markets, up from 956 markets in Q3 2019 and 923 in Q4 2018.


▪	4x4 MIMO is currently available in 708 markets, up from 683 markets in Q3 2019 and 564 in Q4 2018.


▪	T-Mobile customers have 256 QAM available across the Un-carrier’s entire 4G LTE footprint.

PROPOSED SPRINT TRANSACTIONS

▪

On April 29, 2018, T-Mobile entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Sprint to merge in an all-stock transaction at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.10256 shares of T-Mobile common stock for each share of Sprint common stock, or 9.75 shares of Sprint common stock for each share of T-Mobile common stock (the “Merger”). The Merger, and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, are referred to as the “Transactions.”

▪

The combined company will be named “T-Mobile” and, as a result of the Merger, is expected to be able to build upon our recently launched foundational 5G network of 600 MHz spectrum to deliver transformational broad and deep 5G with crazy-fast speeds for customers nationwide, accelerate innovation and supercharge competition in the U.S. wireless, video and broadband industries. With real, nationwide 5G for All, the New T-Mobile will open massive wireless highways and lower prices for all Americans, helping to ignite innovation and challenge a failed status quo. Neither T-Mobile nor Sprint on its own could generate comparable benefits to consumers. The combined company is expected to trade under the “TMUS” symbol on NASDAQ.


▪	The Transactions are subject to certain closing conditions:


▪	We received approval from CFIUS and Team Telecom in December 2018.


▪	We received favorable action from 18 of the 19 state utility commissions conducting reviews with only the California Public Utility Commission (PUC) still outstanding.

▪

In June 2019, a number of state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against us, Deutsche Telekom, Sprint, and SoftBank in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that the Merger, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and so should be enjoined. We believe the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit, and have defended the case vigorously. The trial concluded and we are now waiting for the trial court’s ruling.


▪	In July 2019, T-Mobile and Sprint received clearance for the Merger from the U.S. Department of Justice by entering into a consent decree. The DOJ consent decree is still subject to the final Tunney Act review, which is expected to conclude in February 2020.


▪	In July 2019, T-Mobile and Sprint also entered into agreements with DISH Network Corporation to divest Sprint’s prepaid businesses and 800 MHz spectrum assets to DISH for total proceeds of $5.0 billion. Additionally, the companies will enter into commercial agreements to provide the transferred prepaid and new DISH wireless customers access to the New T-Mobile network for seven years.


▪	The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) approved the Merger on November 5, 2019.


▪	We remain confident about completing the final steps for the Merger.


▪	We expect the Merger will be permitted to close in early 2020.


▪	In Q4 2019, costs related to the Sprint transaction were $126 million before taxes compared to $159 million in Q3 2019 and $102 million in Q4 2018. These costs impacted Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and Net income but are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.


▪	In Q1 2020, pre-close merger-related costs are expected to be $200 million to $300 million before taxes.

Branded Postpaid Phone ARPU


▪	Branded postpaid phone ARPU was $45.79 in Q4 2019, down 0.9% from $46.22 in Q3 2019 and down 1.1% from $46.29 in Q4 2018.


▪	Sequentially, the decrease was primarily due to dilution from promotional activities and a reduction in the non-cash, non-recurring benefit related to Data Stash, as the majority of impacted customers had transitioned to unlimited plans by Q3 2019, partially offset by the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans.

▪

Year-over-year, the decrease was primarily due to dilution from promotional activities, a reduction in regulatory program revenues from the continued adoption of tax inclusive plans and a reduction in the non-cash, non-recurring benefit related to Data Stash as the majority of impacted customers had transitioned to unlimited plans by Q3 2019, partially offset by the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans and higher premium services revenue.

▪

For full-year 2019, branded postpaid phone ARPU was $46.04, down 0.8% from $46.40 in 2018, primarily from an increase in promotional activities, including the ongoing growth in our Netflix offering, which totaled $0.54 for 2019, and decreased branded postpaid phone ARPU by $0.19 compared to 2018, a reduction in regulatory program revenues from the continued adoption of tax inclusive plans and a reduction in certain non-recurring charges, partially offset by higher premium services revenue and the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans.

Net cash provided by operating activities ($ in billions)	$7.9	$8.5
Free Cash Flow ($ in billions)	$5.4	$5.8

GUIDANCE


▪	Our 2020 guidance outlook is for T-Mobile standalone.


▪	Branded postpaid net customer additions: Branded postpaid net customer additions for the full-year 2020 are expected to be 2.6 to 3.6 million.

▪

Net Income: We are not able to forecast Net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP Net income, including, but not limited to, Income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense and Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.


▪	Adjusted EBITDA: For the full-year 2020, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $13.7 to $14.0 billion. This target includes expected leasing revenues of $450 to $550 million and takes into account the network expansion, including the continued deployment of our 600 MHz spectrum and 5G network.

▪

Capital expenditures: Cash purchases of property and equipment for the full-year 2020, including capitalized interest of approximately $400 million, are expected to be in the range of $5.9 to $6.2 billion. Cash purchases of property and equipment for the full-year 2020, excluding capitalized interest, are expected to be in the range of $5.5 to $5.8 billion. We expect that cash purchases of property and equipment will be heavily weighted to early in the year, similar to 2019.


▪	Net cash provided by operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities, excluding payments for merger-related costs and any settlement of interest rate swaps, is expected to be in the range of $7.9 to $8.5 billion in 2020.

▪

Free Cash Flow: Free Cash Flow, excluding payments for merger-related costs and any settlement of interest rate swaps, is expected to be in the range of $5.4 to $5.8 billion in 2020. We expect a similar seasonal development of Free Cash Flow in 2020 as in 2019 with a lower Free Cash Flow in the first quarter, ramping in later quarters, based on expected timing for cash purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow guidance does not assume any material net cash inflows from securitization in 2020.


▪	Branded postpaid phone ARPU: We expect Branded postpaid phone ARPU in full-year 2020 to be generally stable compared to full-year 2019 within a range of plus 1% to minus 1%.


▪	Tax Rate: For full-year 2020, the effective tax rate is expected to be 26% to 27%.


▪	Merger-related costs: In Q1 2020, pre-close merger-related costs are expected to be $200 to $300 million before taxes. These costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but will impact Net income and cash flows.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

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

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows:

In Q1 2019, the adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in a reclassification of capital lease liabilities previously included in Short-term debt and Long-term debt to Short-term financing lease liabilities and Financing lease liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In Q1 2019, we redefined Net debt (excluding tower obligations) to reflect the above changes in classification and present Net debt (excluding tower obligations) on a consistent basis for investor transparency. The effects of this change are applied prospectively, consistent with the adoption of the standard. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for additional details.

Definitions of Terms

Operating and financial measures are utilized by T-Mobile’s management to evaluate its operating performance and, in certain cases, its ability to meet liquidity requirements. Although companies in the wireless industry may not define measures in precisely the same way, T-Mobile believes the measures facilitate key operating performance comparisons with other companies in the wireless industry to provide management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate past performance and assist in forecasting future performance.

Customer - SIM number with a unique T-Mobile mobile identifier which is associated with an account that generates revenue. Branded customers generally include customers that are qualified either for postpaid service, where they generally pay after incurring service, or prepaid service, where they generally pay in advance. Wholesale customers include Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) customers that operate on T-Mobile’s network, but are managed by wholesale partners.


2.	Churn - Number of customers whose service was disconnected as a percentage of the average number of customers during the specified period. The number of customers whose service was disconnected is presented net of customers that subsequently have their service restored within a certain period of time.


3.	Customers per account - The number of branded postpaid customers as of the end of the period divided by the number of branded postpaid accounts as of the end of the period. An account may include branded postpaid phone, mobile broadband, and DIGITS customers.


4.	Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) - Average monthly service revenue earned from customers. Service revenues for the specified period divided by the average customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period.

Branded postpaid phone ARPU excludes branded postpaid other customers and related revenues.

Service revenues - Branded postpaid, including handset insurance, branded prepaid, wholesale, and roaming and other service revenues.


5.	Cost of services - Costs directly attributable to providing wireless service through the operation of T-Mobile’s network, including direct switch and cell site costs, such as rent, network access and transport costs, utilities, maintenance, associated labor costs, long distance costs, regulatory program costs, roaming fees paid to other carriers and data content costs.

Cost of equipment sales - Costs of devices and accessories sold to customers and dealers, device costs to fulfill insurance and warranty claims, write-downs of inventory related to shrinkage and obsolescence, and shipping and handling costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - Costs not directly attributable to providing wireless service for the operation of sales, customer care and corporate activities. These include all commissions paid to dealers and retail employees for activations and upgrades, labor and facilities costs associated with retail sales force and administrative space, marketing and promotional costs, customer support and billing, bad debt expense and administrative support activities.


6.	Net income margin - Margin % calculated as net income divided by service revenues.

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


8.	Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Margin % calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues.


9.	Smartphones - UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 21/HSPA+ 42/4G LTE enabled converged devices, which integrate voice and data services.

10.

Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities less cash purchases of property and equipment, including proceeds from sales of tower sites and proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions and less cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs. Free Cash Flow is utilized by T-Mobile’s management, investors, and analysts to evaluate cash available to pay debt and provide further investment in the business. The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities is detailed in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures schedule. In Q1 2018, we made an accounting change to reduce net cash provided by operating activities by the deferred purchase price less payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-15. Free Cash Flow has been redefined to reflect the changes in classification and present cash flows on a consistent basis for investor transparency.

11.

Net debt - Short-term debt, short-term debt to affiliates, long-term debt, and long-term debt (excluding tower obligations) to affiliates, short-term financing lease liabilities and financing lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. Leases classified as capital leases under the previous standard are included in Financing Lease liabilities within our Consolidated Balance Sheet under the new lease standard. The liabilities related to these leases are included in the Net debt calculation under the previous and new lease standards.
