Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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”~~“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, ~~2017.~~2018.

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, as well as variable interest entities (“VIE”) where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and VIEs which cannot be deconsolidated, such as those related to Tower obligations (Tower obligations are included in VIEs related to the 2012 Tower Transaction. See Note 87 - Tower Obligations ~~included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K~~ for ~~the year ended December 31, 2017)~~further information). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which our management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year

~~Revenue~~Leases

In ~~May 2014,~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ~~ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic ~~606)~~842),” and has since modified the standard with several ASUs (collectively, the “new ~~revenue~~lease standard”). The new ~~revenue~~lease standard requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes: identification of the contract; identification of the performance obligations; determination of the transaction price; allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations;is effective for us, and ~~recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations. We~~we adopted the ~~new revenue~~ standard, on January 1, ~~2018, using~~2019.

We adopted the ~~modified retrospective method~~standard by recognizing and measuring leases at the adoption date with ~~the~~a cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial ~~application. Comparative information has~~application and as a result did not ~~been restated~~restate the prior periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The new lease standard provides for a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We did not elect the “package of practical expedients” and ~~continues to be reported~~as a result reassessed under the ~~standards in effect~~new lease standard our prior accounting conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We elected to use hindsight for ~~those periods.~~determining the reasonably certain lease term. We ~~have applied~~did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as it is not applicable to us.

The new ~~revenue~~lease standard ~~only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application, referred to as open contracts. We have~~provides practical expedients and policy elections for an entity’s ongoing accounting. Generally, we elected the practical expedient ~~that permits an entity~~ to ~~reflect~~not separate lease and non-lease components in arrangements whereby we are the ~~aggregate effect~~lessee. For arrangements in which we are lessor we did not elect this practical expedient. We did not elect the short-term lease recognition exemption, which includes the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for existing short-term leases at transition. We have also applied this election to all active leases at transition.

The most significant judgments and impacts upon adoption of the standard include the following:

In evaluating contracts to determine if they qualify as a lease, we consider factors such as if we have obtained or transferred substantially all of the modifications (on a contract-by-contract basis) that occurred before the date of initial application in determining the transaction price, identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, and allocating the transaction pricerights to the ~~performance obligations. Electing this practical expedient does not~~underlying asset through exclusivity, if we can or if we have ~~a significant impact on our financial statements due~~transferred the ability to direct the ~~short-term duration~~use of ~~most of our contracts~~the asset by making decisions about how and for what purpose the ~~nature of our contract modifications.~~asset will be used and if the lessor has substantive substitution rights.

We recognized right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for operating leases that have ~~implemented significant new revenue accounting systems, processes and internal controls over revenue recognition to assist us in the application of the new revenue standard.~~

~~Revenue Recognition~~

We primarily generate our revenue from providing wireless services to customers and selling or leasing devices and accessories. Our contracts with customers may involve multiple performance obligations, which include wireless services, wireless devices or a combination thereof, and we allocate the transaction price between each performance obligationnot previously been recorded. The lease liability for operating leases is based on ~~its relative standalone selling price.~~

the net present value of future minimum lease payments.

~~Significant Judgments~~

The ~~most significant judgments affecting~~right-of-use asset for operating leases is based on the ~~amount~~lease liability adjusted for the reclassification of certain balance sheet amounts such as prepaid rent and ~~timing~~deferred rent, which we remeasured at adoption due to the application of ~~revenue from contracts with~~hindsight to our ~~customers include the following items:~~lease term estimates.

•

Certain line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the “Supplementary disclosure of cash flow information” have been renamed to align with the new terminology presented in the new standard; “Repayment of capital lease obligations” is now presenting as “Repayments of financing lease obligations” and “Assets acquired under capital lease obligations” is now presenting as “Financing lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations.” In the “Operating Activities” section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows we have added “Operating lease right-of-use assets” and “Short and long-term operating lease liabilities” which represent the change in the operating lease asset and liability, respectively. Additionally, in the “Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information” section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows we have added “Operating lease payments,” and in the “Noncash investing and financing activities” section we have added “Operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations.”

In determining the discount rate used to ~~adjust~~measure the ~~transaction~~right-of-use asset and lease liability, we use rates implicit in the lease, or if not readily available, we use our incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is based on an estimated secured rate comprised of a risk-free LIBOR rate plus a credit spread as secured by our assets.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on changes in the consumer price ~~primarily reflects current market interest rates~~index (“CPI”). Lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes in the CPI; instead, changes in the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and are excluded from the ~~estimated credit risk~~measurement of the ~~customer.~~right-of-use asset and lease liability. These payments are recognized in the period in which the related obligation was incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

~~Our products~~

We elected the use of hindsight whereby we applied current lease term assumptions that are ~~generally sold~~applied to new leases in determining the expected lease term period for all cell sites. Upon adoption of the new standard and application of hindsight, our expected lease term has shortened to reflect payments due for the initial non-cancelable lease term only. This assessment corresponds to our lease term assessment for new leases and aligns with the payments that have been disclosed as lease commitments in prior years. As a ~~right~~result, the average remaining lease term for cell sites has decreased from approximately nine to five years based on lease contracts in effect at transition on January 1, 2019. The aggregate impact of ~~return, which~~using the hindsight is an estimated decrease in Total operating expense of $240 million in fiscal year 2019.

We were also required to reassess the previously failed sale-leasebacks of certain T-Mobile-owned wireless communication tower sites and determine whether the transfer of the assets to the tower operator under the arrangement met the transfer of control criteria in the revenue standard and whether a sale should be recognized.

We concluded that a sale has not occurred for the 6,200 tower sites transferred to Crown Castle International Corp. (“CCI”) pursuant to a master prepaid lease arrangement; therefore, these sites will continue to be accounted for as ~~variable consideration when estimating~~failed sale-leasebacks.

We concluded that a sale should be recognized for the 900 tower sites transferred to CCI pursuant to the sale of a subsidiary and the 500 tower sites transferred to Phoenix Tower International (“PTI”). Upon adoption on January 1, 2019, we derecognized our existing long-term financial obligation and the tower-related property and equipment associated with these 1,400 previously failed sale-leaseback tower sites and recognized a lease liability and right-of-use asset for the leaseback of the tower sites. The estimated impacts from the change in accounting conclusion are primarily a decrease in Other revenues of $44 million and a decrease in Interest expense of $34 million.

Rental revenues and expenses associated with co-location tower sites are presented on a net basis under the new lease standard. These revenues and expenses were presented on a gross basis under the former lease standard.

Including the impacts from a change in the accounting conclusion on the 1,400 previously failed sale-leaseback tower sites, the cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease standard on January 1, 2019 is as follows:

Including the impacts from the change in the accounting conclusion on the 1,400 previously failed sale-leaseback tower sites and the change in presentation on the income statement of the 6,200 tower sites for which a sale did not occur, the cumulative effects of initially applying the new lease standard for fiscal year 2019 are estimated as follows:

The aggregate impact is a decrease in Other revenues of $185 million, a decrease in Total operating expenses of $380 million, a decrease in Interest expense of $34 million and an increase to Net income of $175 million.


•	The expected impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is a decrease in Net cash provided by operating activities of $10 millionand a decrease in Net cash used in financing activities of $10 million.

For arrangements where we are the lessor, including arrangements to lease devices to our service customers, the adoption of the new lease standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements as these leases are classified as operating leases.

Device lease payments are presented as Equipment revenues and recognized as earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Recognition of equipment revenue on lease contracts that are determined to not be probable of collection are limited to the amount of ~~revenue to recognize. Expected device returns are estimated based on historical experience.~~

Promotional bill credits offered to a customer on an equipment sale that are paid over time and are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract may result in an extended service contract based on whether a substantive penalty is deemed to exist. Determining whether contingent bill credits result in a substantive termination penalty, and determining the term over which a substantive termination penalty exists, may require significant judgment.

~~For capitalized contract costs, determining the amortization period as well as assessing the indicators of impairment may require significant judgment.~~

~~The determination of the standalone selling price for contracts that involve more than one product or service (or performance obligation) may require significant judgment.~~

~~The identification of distinct performance obligations within our service plans may require significant judgment.~~

~~Wireless Services Revenue~~

We generate our wireless services revenues from providing access to, and usage of, our wireless communications network. Service revenues also include revenues earned for providing value added services to customers, such as handset insurance services. Service contracts are billed monthly either in advance or arrears, or are prepaid. Generally, service revenue is recognized as we satisfy our performance obligation to transfer service to our customers. We typically satisfy our stand-ready performance obligations, including unlimited wireless services, evenly over the contract term. For usage-based and prepaid wireless services, we satisfy our performance obligations when services are rendered.

~~Revenue for service contracts that we assess are not probable of collection is not recognized until the contract is completed and cash is~~payments received. Collectibility is re-assessed when there is a significant change in facts or circumstances. Our assessment of collectibility considers whether we may limit our exposure to credit risk through our right to stop transferring additional service in the event the customer is delinquent.

Consideration payable to a customer is treated as a reduction of the total transaction price, unless the payment is in exchange for a distinct good or service, such as certain commissions paid to dealers.

Revenue is recorded net of costs paid to another party for performance obligations where we arrange for the other party to transfer goods or services to the customer (i.e., when we are acting as an agent). For example, performance obligations relating to services provided by third-party content providers where T-Mobile neither controls a right to the content provider’s service nor controls the underlying service itself are presented net because T-Mobile is acting as an agent.

Federal Universal Service Fund and other regulatory fees are assessed by various governmental authorities in connection with the services we provide to our customers and are included in Cost of services. When we separately bill and collect these regulatory fees from customers, they are recorded in Total service revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

We have made an accounting policy election to exclude from the ~~measurement of~~consideration in the ~~transaction price~~contract all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by ~~T-Mobile~~us from a customer (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes).

~~Equipment Revenues~~

~~We generate equipment revenues from the sale or~~At operating lease of mobile communication devices and accessories. For performance obligations related to equipment contracts, we typically transfer control at a point in time when the device or accessory is delivered to, and accepted by, the customer or dealer. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance

~~Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

obligations. We establish provisions for estimated device returns based on historical experience. Equipment sales not probable of collection are generally recorded as payments are received. Our assessment of collectibility considers contract terms such as down payments that reduce our exposure to credit risk.

We offer certain customers the option to pay for devices and accessories in installments using an EIP. Generally, we recognize as a reduction of the total transaction price the effects of a financing component in contracts where customers purchase their devices and accessories on an EIP with a term of more than one year, including those financing components that are not considered to be significant to the contract. However, we have elected the practical expedient to not recognize the effects of a significant financing component for contracts where we expect, at contract inception, ~~that the period between the transfer of a performance obligation to a customer and the customer’s payment for that performance obligation will be one year or less.~~

~~In addition, for customers who enroll in our Just Upgrade My Phone (“JUMP!”~~^®) program, we recognize a liability based on the estimated fair value of the specified-price trade-in right guarantee. The fair value of the guarantee is deducted from the transaction price under the new revenue standard, and the remaining transaction price is allocated to other elements of the contract, including service and equipment performance obligations. See “Guarantee Liabilities” in ~~Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.~~

~~In 2015, we introduced JUMP! On Demand, which allows customers to lease a device and upgrade their leased wireless device for a new device up to one time per month. To date, all of our~~ leased wireless devices are ~~accounted for as operating leases and estimated contract consideration is allocated between lease elements and non-lease elements (such as service~~transferred from Inventory to Property and equipment, ~~performance obligations) based on~~net. Leased wireless devices are depreciated to their estimated residual value over the ~~relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation in~~period expected to provide utility to us, which is generally shorter than the ~~contract. Lease revenues~~lease term and considers expected losses. Returned devices transferred from Property and equipment, net are recorded as ~~equipment revenues~~Inventory and are valued at the lower of cost or market with any write-down to market recognized as ~~earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease revenues on contracts not probable~~Cost of ~~collection are limited to the amount of payments received. See “Property and Equipment” in~~ ~~Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.~~

~~Contract Balances~~

~~Generally, T-Mobile devices and service plans are available at standard prices, which are maintained on price lists and published on our website and/or within our retail stores.~~

For contracts that involve more than one product or service that are identified as separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. Standalone selling price is the price at which T-Mobile would sell the good or service separately to a customer and is most commonly evidenced by the price at which T-Mobile sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.

A contract asset is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of our right to receive consideration (i.e., we must perform additional services in order to receive consideration). Amounts are recorded as receivables when our right to consideration is unconditional. When consideration is received or we have an unconditional right to consideration in advance of delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. The transaction price can include non-refundable upfront fees, which are allocated to the identifiable performance obligations.

~~Contract assets are included in Other current assets and Other assets and contract liabilities are included in Deferred revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~

~~Contract Modifications~~

Our service contracts allow customers to frequently modify their contracts without incurring penalties in many cases. Each time a contract is modified, we evaluate the change in scope or price of the contract to determine if the modification should be treated as a separate contract, as if there is a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract, or if the modification should be considered a change associated with the existing contract. We typically do not have significant impacts from contract modifications.

~~Contract Costs~~

We incur certain incremental costs to obtain a contract that we expect to recover, such as sales commissions. We record an asset when these incremental costs to obtain a contract are incurred and amortize them on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.

~~Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

We amortize deferred costs incurred to obtain service contracts on a straight-line basis over the term of the initial contract and anticipated renewal contracts to which the costs relate. However, we have elected the practical expedient permitting expensing of costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

~~Incremental costs to obtain equipment contracts (e.g., commissions paid on device and accessory sales) are recognized when the equipment is transferred to the customer.~~

~~Financial Statement Impacts of Applying the New Revenue Standard~~

~~The most significant impacts to financial statement results as reported under the new revenue standard as compared to the previous revenue standard for the current reporting period are as follows:~~

~~Under the new revenue standard, certain commissions paid to dealers previously recognized as a reduction to Equipment revenues~~ in our ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive ~~Income are now recorded as commission costs in Selling, general and administrative expense.~~Income.

~~Contract costs capitalized~~

We do not have any leasing transactions with related parties. See Note 10 - Leases for new contracts will accumulate in Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during 2018. As a result, there will be a net benefit to Operating income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during 2018 as capitalization of costs exceed amortization. As capitalized costs amortize into expense over time, the accretive benefit to Operating income anticipated in 2018 is expected to moderate in 2019 and normalize in 2020.further information.

~~Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

For contracts with promotional bill credits that are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract that result in an extended service contract, a contract asset is recorded when control of the equipment transfers to the customer and is subsequently amortized as a reduction to Total service revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income over the extended contract term.

~~See disclosures related to Contracts with Customers under the new revenue standard in~~ ~~Note 11 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~.

~~Statement of Cash Flows~~

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (the “new cash flow standard”). The new cash flow standard is intended to reduce current diversity in practice and provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted the new cash flow standard on January 1, 2018, which was the date it became effective for us. We have applied the new cash flow standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The new cash flow standard impacted the presentation of cash flows related to our beneficial interests in securitization transactions, which is the deferred purchase price, resulting in a reclassification of cash inflows from Operating activities to Investing activities of $1.3 billion and $882 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2.6 billion and $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The new cash flow standard also impacted the presentation of our cash payments for debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, resulting in a reclassification of cash outflows from Operating activities to Financing activities of $181 million and $159 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $212 million and $188 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

~~Financial Instruments~~

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” and has since modified the standard in February 2018 with ASU 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall” (Subtopic 825-10). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard became effective for us, and we adopted the standard, on January 1, 2018. The standard requires the impact of adoption to be recorded to retained earnings under a modified retrospective approach. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Income Taxes~~

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” The standard requires that the income tax impact of intra-entity sales and transfers of property, except for inventory, be recognized when the transfer occurs. The standard became effective for us, and we adopted the standard, on January 1, 2018. The standard requires any deferred taxes not yet recognized on intra-entity transfers to be recorded to retained earnings under a modified retrospective approach. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~

~~Leases~~

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and has since modified the standard in January 2018 with ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” and in July 2018 with ASU 2018-11 “Targeted Improvements” (collectively, the “new lease standard”). The new lease standard requires all lessees to report a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases. The income statement recognition is similar to existing lease accounting and is based on lease classification. The new lease standard requires lessees and lessors to classify most leases using principles similar to existing lease accounting. For lessors, the new lease standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. We are currently evaluating the new lease standard, which will require recognizing and measuring leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Our evaluation includes assessing which of our arrangements qualify as a lease, and aggregating lease data and related information as well as determining whether previous conclusions for certain transactions, such as failed sale leaseback arrangements under the previous lease standard, Leases (Topic 840), would change under the new lease standard. We plan to adopt the new lease standard when it becomes effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, and expect the adoption of the new lease standard will

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. The standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the ~~collectability~~collectibility of the reported amount. The standard will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2020 and will require a cumulative-effect adjustment to Accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). ~~Early adoption is permitted for us as of January 1, 2019.~~ We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract.” The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2020 and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for us at any time. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements and the timing of adoption.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission ~~(“SEC”~~(the “SEC”) did not have, or are not ~~believed by management~~expected to have, a significant impact on our present or future ~~consolidated financial statements.~~Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 -– Business Combinations

Proposed Sprint ~~Transaction~~Transactions

On April 29, 2018, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement to merge with Sprint 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 combined company will be named “T-Mobile” and, as a result of the Merger, is expected to be able to rapidly launch a broad and deep nationwide 5G network, accelerate innovation and increase competition in the U.S. wireless, video and broadband industries. Neither T-Mobile nor Sprint on its own could generate comparable benefits to consumers.

The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement ~~(the~~(collectively, the “Transactions”)

have been approved by the boards of directors of T-Mobile and ~~Sprint. Following~~Sprint and the required approvals of the stockholders of each of T-Mobile and Sprint have been obtained. Immediately following the Merger, it is anticipated that ~~Deutsche Telekom AG (“Deutsche Telekom”)~~DT and SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) will hold, directly or indirectly, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 41.7% and 27.4%, respectively, of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, with the remaining approximately 30.9% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held by other stockholders, based on closing share prices and certain other assumptions as of ~~the date of the Business Combination Agreement.~~December 31, 2018.

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA”) entered into a commitment letter, dated as of April 29, 2018 (as amended and restated on May 15, 2018, the “Commitment Letter”), with certain financial institutions named therein that have committed to provide up to $38.0 billion in debt financing. As permitted by the terms of the Commitment Letter, on June 6, 2018, T-Mobile USA reduced the initial aggregate commitment under the Commitment Letter by $8.0 billion such that the remaining size of the commitment is currently $30.0 billion.. The funding of the debt facilities provided for in the Commitment Letter is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, including consummation of the Merger. The proceeds of the debt financing provided for in the Commitment Letter will be used to refinance certain existing debt of us, Sprint and our and Sprint’s respective subsidiaries and for post-closing working capital

needs of the combined company. In connection with the financing provided for in the Commitment Letter, we expect to incur certain fees if the Merger closes. There were no fees accrued as of March 31, 2019. We also may be required to draw down on the $7 billion secured term loan facility prior to closing and, if so, will be required to place the proceeds in escrow and pay interest thereon until the Merger closes.

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, DT and T-Mobile USA entered into a ~~Financing Matters Agreement,~~financing matters agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018, pursuant to which DT agreed, among other things, to consent to the incurrence by T-Mobile USA of secured debt in connection with and after the consummation of the Merger. ~~In connection with receiving~~If the Merger is consummated, we will make payments for requisite consents ~~our upfront payment~~ to ~~DT was $7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and was recognized~~DT.

On May 18, 2018, under the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of May 14, 2018, ~~(the “Consent Solicitation Statement”),~~ we obtained consents necessary to effect certain amendments to certain existing debt of us and our subsidiaries. ~~In connection with receiving~~If the Merger is consummated, we will make payments for requisite consents ~~our upfront payments~~ to third-party ~~Note holders~~note holders.

For the three months ~~and six months~~ ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we recognized merger-related costs ~~associated with the proposed Sprint transaction~~ of ~~$41~~$113 million. These costs generally included ~~bank fees associated with obtaining the requisite consents on debt to third parties,~~ consulting and legal fees and were recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The Business Combination Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Sprint and us. If we terminate the Business Combination Agreement in connection with a failure to satisfy the closing condition related to specified minimum credit ratings for the combined company on the closing date of the Merger (after giving effect to the Merger) from at least two of the three credit rating agencies, then in certain circumstances, we may be required to pay Sprint an amount equal to $600 million.

On June 18, 2018, we filed the Public Interest Statement and applications for approval of our ~~merger~~Merger with Sprint with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). On July 18, 2018, the FCC issued a Public Notice formally accepting our applications and establishing a period for public comment.

The registration statement has not yet become effective.~~

~~Acquisition of Layer3 TV~~

On January 22, 2018, we completed our acquisition of television innovator Layer3 TV for cash consideration of $318 million. The consideration included a $5 million payment that was made after the closing date in the second quarter of 2018. Upon closing of the transaction, Layer3 TV became a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary. Layer3 TV acquires and distributes digital entertainment programming primarily through the internet to residential customers, offering direct to home digital television and multi-channel video programming distribution services. This transaction represented an opportunity to acquire a complementary service to our existing wireless service to advance our video strategy.

We accounted for the purchase of Layer3 TV as a business combination. Costs related to this acquisition were immaterial to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The grant-date fair value of cash-based and share-based incentive compensation awards attributable to post-combination services was approximately $37 million.

We recognized a liability of $21 million within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and an associated indemnification asset of $12 million in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to minimum commitments under acquired content agreements. The maximum amount that would be received under the indemnification agreement is $12 million.

Goodwill of $218 million is calculated as the excess of the purchase price paid over the net assets acquired. The goodwill recorded as part of the Layer3 TV acquisition primarily reflects industry knowledge of the retained management team, as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. See ~~Note 6 - Goodwill~~ ~~for further information.~~

As part of the transaction, we acquired an identifiable intangible asset of developed technology with an estimated fair value of $100 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 5 years.

~~The financial results from the acquisition of Layer3 TV since the closing date through~~ June ~~30, 2018 were not material to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.~~

~~Acquisition of Iowa Wireless~~

On January 1, 2018 (the “acquisition date”), we closed on our previously announced Unit Purchase Agreement to acquire the remaining equity in IWS, a 54% owned unconsolidated subsidiary, for a purchase price of $25 million. We accounted for our acquisition of IWS as a business combination.

Prior to the acquisition date, we accounted for our previously-held investment in IWS under the equity method as we had significant influence, but not control. Authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations requires that an acquirer re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. As such, we valued our previously held equity interest in IWS at $56 million as of the acquisition date and recognized a gain of $15 million.

~~The following table highlights the consideration transferred, the fair value of our previously held equity interest and bargain purchase:~~

As part of the acquisition of IWS, we recognized a bargain purchase gain of approximately $25 million, which represents the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, primarily IWS spectrum licenses, in excess of the purchase price and fair value of our previously held equity interest. We were in a favorable position to acquire the remaining shares of IWS as a result of our previously held 54% equity interest in IWS, an unprofitable business with valuable spectrum holdings.

Note 4 – Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Our portfolio of receivables is comprised of two portfolio segments, accounts receivable and EIP receivables. Our accounts receivable segment primarily consists of amounts currently due from customers, including service and leased device receivables, other carriers and third-party retail channels.

Based upon customer credit profiles, we classify the EIP receivables segment into two customer classes of “Prime” and “Subprime.” Prime customer receivables are those with lower delinquency risk and Subprime customer receivables are those with higher delinquency risk. Customers may be required to make a down payment on their equipment purchases. In addition, certain customers within the Subprime category are required to pay an advance deposit.

To determine a customer’s credit profile, we use a proprietary credit scoring model that measures the credit quality of a customer ~~at the time of application for wireless communications service~~ using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores and service and device plan characteristics.

~~Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

The following table summarizes the EIP receivables, including imputed discounts and related allowance for credit losses:

$ 2,290
Equipment installment plan receivables due after one year, net 1,222
1,274
EIP receivables, net $ 3,530
$ 3,564

To determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses, we consider a number of credit quality indicators, including historical credit losses and timely payment experience as well as current collection trends such as write-off frequency and severity, aging of the receivable portfolio, credit quality of the customer base and other qualitative factors such as macro-economic conditions.

We write off account balances if collection efforts are unsuccessful and the receivable balance is deemed uncollectible, based on customer credit quality and the aging of the receivable.

For EIP receivables, subsequent to the initial determination of the imputed discount, we assess the need for and, if necessary, recognize an allowance for credit losses to the extent the amount of estimated probable losses on the gross EIP receivable balances exceed the remaining unamortized imputed discount balances.

The EIP receivables had weighted average effective imputed interest rates of ~~10.1%~~9.8% and ~~9.6%~~10.0% as of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables

We have entered into transactions to sell certain service and EIP ~~accounts receivable.~~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 Service ~~Receivables~~Accounts Receivable

Overview of the Transaction

In 2014, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain service accounts receivable on a revolving basis ~~and in November 2016, the arrangement was amended to increase the maximum funding commitment to $950 million~~ (the “service receivable sale arrangement”) ~~and extend~~. The maximum funding commitment of the ~~scheduled expiration date to March 2018.~~service receivable sale arrangement is $950 million. In February ~~2018,~~2019, the service receivable sale arrangement was ~~again~~ amended to extend the scheduled expiration date, as well as certain third-party credit support under the arrangement, to March 2019. In April 2018, the service receivable sale arrangement was again amended to update certain terms and covenants contained therein to make them consistent with analogous terms and covenants in documents of our other financing arrangements.2021. As of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the service receivable sale arrangement provided funding of ~~$818~~$891 million and ~~$880~~$774 million, respectively. Sales of receivables occur daily and are settled on a monthly basis. The receivables consist of service charges currently due from customers and are short-term in nature.

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”). The Service BRE does not qualify as a VIE, and due to the significant level of control we exercise over the entity, it is consolidated. Pursuant to the service receivable sale arrangement, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries transfer selected receivables to the Service BRE. The Service BRE then sells the receivables to an unaffiliated entity (the “Service VIE”), which was established to facilitate the sale of beneficial ownership interests in the receivables to certain third parties.

Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Variable Interest Entity

We determined that the Service VIE qualifies as a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. We have a variable interest in the Service VIE but are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Service VIE’s economic performance. Those activities include committing the Service VIE to legal agreements to purchase or sell assets, selecting which receivables are purchased in the service receivable sale arrangement, determining whether the Service VIE will sell interests in the purchased service receivables to other parties, funding of the entity and servicing of receivables. We do not hold the power to direct the key decisions underlying these activities. For example, while we act as the servicer of the sold receivables, which is considered a significant activity of the Service VIE, we are acting as an agent in our capacity as the servicer and the counterparty to the service receivable sale arrangement has the ability to remove us as the servicing agent of the receivables at will with no recourse available to us. As we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary, the balances and results of the Service VIE are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Sales of EIP Receivables

Overview of the Transaction

In 2015, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain EIP accounts receivable on a revolving basis ~~and in August 2017,~~(the “EIP sale arrangement”). The maximum funding commitment of the EIP sale arrangement ~~was amended to reduce the maximum funding commitment to $1.2~~is $1.3 billion, ~~(the “EIP sale arrangement”)~~ and ~~extend~~ the scheduled expiration date tois November ~~2018. In December 2017, the EIP sale arrangement was again amended~~2020.

~~Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

to increase the maximum funding commitment to $1.3 billion. In April 2018, the EIP sale arrangement was again amended to update certain terms and covenants contained therein to make them consistent with analogous terms and covenants in the documentation of our other financing arrangements. As of both ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the EIP sale arrangement provided funding of $1.3 billion. Sales of EIP receivables occur daily and are settled on a monthly basis. ~~The receivables consist of customer EIP balances, which require monthly customer payments for up to 24 months.~~

In connection with this EIP sale arrangement, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, which qualifies as a bankruptcy remote entity (the “EIP BRE”). Pursuant to the EIP sale arrangement, our wholly-owned subsidiary transfers selected receivables to the EIP BRE. The EIP BRE then sells the receivables to a non-consolidated and unaffiliated third-party entity for which we do not exercise any level of control, nor does the third-party entity qualify as a VIE.

Variable Interest Entity

We determined that the EIP BRE is a VIE as its equity investment at risk lacks the obligation to absorb a certain portion of its expected losses. We have a variable interest in the EIP BRE and determined that we are the primary beneficiary based on our ability to direct the activities which most significantly impact the EIP BRE’s economic performance. Those activities include selecting which receivables are transferred into the EIP BRE and sold in the EIP sale arrangement and funding of the EIP BRE. Additionally, our equity interest in the EIP BRE obligates us to absorb losses and gives us the right to receive benefits from the EIP BRE that could potentially be significant to the EIP BRE. Accordingly, we ~~determined that we are the primary beneficiary, and~~ include the balances and results of operations of the EIP BRE in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the EIP BRE is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, prior to any liquidation of the EIP BRE, to be satisfied prior to any value in the EIP BRE becoming available to us. Accordingly, the assets of the EIP BRE may not be used to settle our general obligations and creditors of the EIP BRE have limited recourse to our general credit.

Sales of Receivables

The transfers of service receivables and EIP receivables to the non-consolidated entities are accounted for as sales of financial assets. Once identified for sale, the receivable is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Upon sale, we derecognize the net carrying amount of the receivables.

We recognize the cash proceeds received upon sale in Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We recognize proceeds net of the deferred purchase price, consisting of a receivable from the purchasers that entitles us to certain collections on the receivables. We recognize the collection of the deferred purchase price in Net cash ~~provided by~~used in investing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions.

The deferred purchase price represents a financial asset that is primarily tied to the creditworthiness of the customers and which can be settled in such a way that we may not recover substantially all of our recorded investment, due to default by the customers on the underlying receivables. We elected, at inception, to measure the deferred purchase price at fair value with changes in fair value included in Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of the deferred purchase price is determined based on a discounted cash flow model which uses primarily unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), including customer default rates. As of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, our deferred purchase price related to the sales of service receivables and EIP receivables was ~~$778~~$738 million and ~~$745~~$746 million, respectively.

We recognized losses from sales of receivables, of $28 million and $80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $80 million and $175 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These losses from sales of receivables were recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Losses from sales of receivables includeincluding adjustments to the receivables’ fair values and changes in fair value of the deferred purchase ~~price.~~price, of $35 million and $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Continuing Involvement

Pursuant to the sale arrangements described above, we have continuing involvement with the service receivables and EIP receivables we sell as we service the receivables and are required to repurchase certain receivables, including ineligible receivables, aged receivables and receivables where write-off is imminent. We continue to service the customers and their related receivables, including facilitating customer payment collection, in exchange for a monthly servicing fee. As the receivables are sold on a revolving basis, the customer payment collections on sold receivables may be reinvested in new receivable sales. While servicing the receivables, we apply the same policies and procedures to the sold receivables as we apply to our owned receivables, and we continue to maintain normal relationships with our customers. Pursuant to the EIP sale

Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

arrangement, under certain circumstances, we are required to deposit cash or replacement EIP receivables primarily for contracts terminated by customers under our JUMP! Program.

In addition, we have continuing involvement with the sold receivables as we may be responsible for absorbing additional credit losses pursuant to the sale arrangements. Our maximum exposure to loss related to the involvement with the service receivables and EIP receivables sold under the sale arrangements was ~~$1.3~~$1.1 billion as of ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The maximum exposure to loss, which is a required disclosure under GAAP, represents an estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances whereby we would not receive the deferred purchase price portion of the contractual proceeds withheld by the purchasers and would also be required to repurchase the maximum amount of receivables pursuant to the sale arrangements without consideration for any recovery. As we believe the probability of these circumstances occurring is remote, the maximum exposure to loss is not an indication of our expected loss.

~~Note 6 - Goodwill~~

~~The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2018, are as follows:~~

(in millions) Goodwill
Historical goodwill $ 12,449
Accumulated impairment losses at December 31, 2017 (10,766 )
Balance as of December 31, 2017 1,683
Goodwill from acquisition of Layer3 TV 218
Balance as of June 30, 2018 $ 1,901
Accumulated impairment losses at June 30, 2018 $ (10,766 )

On January 22, 2018, we completed our acquisition of television innovator Layer3 TV. This purchase was accounted for as a business combination resulting in $218 million in goodwill. Layer3 TV is a separate reporting unit and the acquired goodwill will be tested for impairment at this level. See ~~Note 3 - Business Combinations~~ ~~for additional information.~~

~~Note 7 – Spectrum License Transactions~~

~~The following table summarizes our spectrum license activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018:~~

•	~~We recorded spectrum licenses received as part of our acquisition of the remaining equity interest in IWS at their estimated fair value of approximately $87 million. See~~ ~~Note 3 - Business Combinations~~ ~~for further information.~~

We closed on multiple spectrum purchase agreements in which we acquired total spectrum licenses of approximately $49 million for cash consideration. No gains or losses were recognized on the spectrum license purchases.

Note 86 – Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of ~~cash~~Cash and cash equivalents, ~~accounts~~Accounts receivable, ~~accounts~~Accounts receivable from affiliates, ~~accounts~~Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and borrowings under our ~~senior secured~~ revolving credit facility with DT, our majority stockholder, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate lock derivatives

Periodically, we use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, such as interest rate risk. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow hedge) to help minimize significant, unplanned fluctuations in cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

We enter into and designate interest rate lock derivatives (forward-starting swap instruments) as cash flow hedges to reduce variability in cash flows due to changes in interest payments attributable to increases or decreases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt.

We record interest rate lock derivatives on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that is derived primarily from observable market data, including yield curves. Interest rate lock derivatives were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Cash flows associated with qualifying hedge derivative instruments are presented in the same category on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the item being hedged.

In October 2018, we entered into interest rate lock derivatives with notional amounts of $9.6 billion. The fair value of interest rate lock derivatives was a liability of $703 million and $447 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and were included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, no amounts were accrued or amortized into Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income while changes in fair value, net of tax, of $521 million and $332 million are presented in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no cash payments or receipts associated with these derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Embedded derivatives

In March 2019, we delivered a notice of redemption on $600 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.332% Senior Reset Notes due 2023 held by DT. The notes will be redeemed effective April 28, 2019, at a redemption price equal to 104.666% of the principal amount of the notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon), payable on April 29, 2019. The balance of embedded derivatives associated with the DT Senior Reset Notes was reclassified from Other long-term liabilities to Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019. The write-off of embedded derivatives upon redemption will be $11 million.

Deferred Purchase Price Assets

In connection with the sales of certain service and EIP ~~receivables~~accounts receivable pursuant to the sale arrangements, we have deferred purchase price assets measured at fair value that are based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable Level 3 inputs, including customer default rates. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables for further ~~information~~.information.

Long-term Debt

The fair value of our Senior Notes to third parties was determined based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore was classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our Senior Notes to affiliates, Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates and Senior Reset Notes to affiliates were determined based on a discounted cash flow approach using market interest rates of instruments with similar terms and maturities and an estimate for our standalone credit risk. Accordingly, our Senior Notes to affiliates, Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates and Senior Reset Notes to affiliates were 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, considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates for the Senior Notes to affiliates, Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates and Senior Reset Notes to affiliates. The fair value estimates were based on information available as of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. As such, our estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize in a current market exchange.

Guarantee Liabilities

We offer a device trade-in program, JUMP!, which provides eligible customers a specified-price trade-in right to upgrade their device. For customers who enroll in JUMP!, we recognize a liability and reduce revenue for the portion of revenue which represents the estimated fair value of the specified-price trade-in right guarantee, incorporating the expected probability and timing of handset upgrade and the estimated fair value of the handset which is returned. Accordingly, our guarantee liabilities were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. When customers upgrade their device, the difference between the EIP balance credit to the customer and the fair value of the returned device is recorded against the guarantee liabilities. Guarantee liabilities are included in Other current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying amounts of our guarantee liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $76 million and $73 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The total estimated remaining gross EIP receivable balances of all enrolled handset upgrade program customers, which are the remaining EIP amounts underlying the JUMP! guarantee, including EIP receivables that have been sold, was $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2019. This is not an indication of our expected loss exposure as it does not consider the expected fair value of the used handset or the probability and timing of the trade-in.

Note 97 – ~~Debt~~Tower Obligations

In 2012, we conveyed to CCI the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 7,100 T-Mobile-owned wireless communication tower sites (“CCI Tower Sites”) in exchange for net proceeds of $2.5 billion (the “2012 Tower Transaction”). Rights to approximately 6,200 of the tower sites were transferred to CCI via a master prepaid lease with site lease terms

~~Activity~~ranging from 23 to 37 years (“CCI Lease Sites”), while the remaining tower sites were sold to CCI (“CCI Sales Sites”). CCI has fixed-price purchase options for the ~~six months ended June 30, 2018, related~~CCI Lease Sites totaling approximately $2.0 billion, exercisable at the end of the lease term. We lease back space at certain tower sites for an initial term of ten years, followed by optional renewals at customary terms.

In 2015, we conveyed to PTI the exclusive right to manage and operate certain T-Mobile-owned wireless communication tower sites (“PTI Sales Sites”) in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $140 million (the “2015 Tower Transaction”). As of March 31, 2019, rights to approximately 150 of the tower sites remain operated by PTI under a management agreement (“PTI Managed Sites”). We lease back space at certain tower sites for an initial term of ten years, followed by optional renewals at customary terms.

Assets and liabilities associated with the operation of the tower sites were transferred to 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, who lease space at the tower sites. Liabilities included the obligation to pay ground lease rentals, property taxes and other executory costs. Upon closing of the 2012 Tower Transaction, CCI acquired all of the equity interests in the SPE containing CCI Sales Sites and an option to acquire the CCI Lease Sites at the end of their respective lease terms and entered into a master lease agreement under which we agreed to lease back space at certain of the tower sites. Upon closing of the 2015 Tower Transaction, PTI acquired all of the equity interests in the SPEs containing PTI Sales Sites and entered into a master lease agreement under which we agreed to lease back space at certain of the tower sites.

We determined the SPEs containing the CCI Lease Sites (“Lease Site SPEs”) are VIEs as our equity investment lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. 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 balances and operating results of the Lease Site SPEs are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~We used~~ the net proceeds received and recognized interest on the tower obligations at a rate of ~~$2.494 billion~~approximately 8% for the 2012 Tower Transaction and 5% for the 2015 Tower Transaction using the effective interest method. The tower obligations are increased by interest expense and amortized through contractual leaseback payments made by us to CCI or PTI and through net cash flows generated and retained by CCI or PTI from operation of the ~~public debt issuance~~tower sites. Our historical tower site asset costs continue to be reported in Property and equipment, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated.

Upon adoption of the new leasing standard we were required to reassess the previously failed sale-leasebacks and determine whether the transfer of the assets to the tower operator under the arrangement met the transfer of control criteria in the revenue standard and whether a sale should be recognized. We concluded that a sale has not occurred for the CCI Lease Sites and these sites continue to be accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback. We concluded that a sale had occurred for the CCI Sales Sites and the PTI Sales Sites and therefore we derecognized our existing long-term financial obligation and the tower-related property and equipment associated with these sites as part of the cumulative effect adjustment on January ~~2018~~1, 2019.

~~Commitment Letter~~

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, T-Mobile USA entered into a commitment letter, dated as of April 29, 2018 (as amended and restated on May 15, 2018, the “Commitment Letter”), with certain financial institutions named therein that have committed to provide up to $38.0 billion in secured and unsecured debt financing, including a $4.0 billion secured revolving credit facility, a $7.0 billion secured term loan facility, a $19.0 billion secured bridge loan facility and an $8.0 billion unsecured bridge loan facility. Following the receipt of the debt consents described below, as permitted by the terms of the commitment letter, on May 22, 2018, T-Mobile USA reallocated the entire $8.0 billion unsecured bridge loan facility to be part of the secured bridge loan facility, increasing the size of the secured bridge loan facility to $27.0 billion, and subsequently on June 6, 2018, reduced the commitments under the secured bridge facility by $8.0 billion, such that the remaining size of the secured bridge facility is currently $19.0 billion and total committed financing is currently $30.0 billion. The funding of the debt facilities provided for in the Commitment Letter is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, including consummation of the proposed Merger. The proceeds of the debt financing provided for in the Commitment Letter will be used to refinance certain existing debt of us, Sprint and our and Sprint’s respective subsidiaries and for post-closing working capital needs of the combined company.

~~Financing Matters Agreement~~

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, DT and T-Mobile USA entered into a Financing Matters Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018 (the “Financing Matters Agreement”). Pursuant to the Financing Matters Agreement, DT agreed, among other things, to consent to the incurrence by T-Mobile USA of secured debt in connection with and after the consummation of the Merger, and to provide a lock up on sales thereby as to certain senior notes of T-Mobile USA held thereby. In addition, T-Mobile USA agreed, among other things, to repay and terminate, upon closing of the Merger, the Incremental Term Loan Facility and the revolving credit facility of T-Mobile USA which are provided by DT, as well as $2.0 billion of T-Mobile USA’s 5.300% senior notes due 2021 and $2.0 billion of T-Mobile USA’s 6.000% senior notes due 2024. In addition, T-Mobile USA and DT agreed, upon closing of the Merger, to amend the $1.25 billion of T-Mobile USA’s 5.125% senior notes due 2025 and $1.25 billion of T-Mobile USA’s 5.375% senior notes due 2027 to change the maturity dates thereof to April 15, 2021 and April 15, 2022, respectively. In connection with receiving the requisite consents, our upfront payment to DT was $7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and was recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt to affiliates in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the Business Combination is consummated, we will make additional payments for requisite consents to DT of $20 million. We have not accrued these additional payments as of June 30, 2018.

~~Consents on Debt to Third-Parties~~

On May 18, 2018, under the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, we obtained consents necessary to effect certain amendments to our Senior Notes to third parties in connection with the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement, third party Notes holders agreed, among other things, to consent to increasing the amount of Secured Indebtedness under Credit Facilities that can be incurred from the greater of $9 billion and 150% of Consolidated Cash Flow to the greater of $9 billion and an amount that would not cause the Secured Debt to Cash Flow Ratio (calculated net of cash and cash equivalents) to exceed 2.00x (the “Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments”) and in each case as such capitalized term is defined in the Indenture. In connection with receiving the requisite consents for the Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments, our upfront payments to third party Note holders were $17 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, and were recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These upfront payments increased the effective interest rate of the related debt.

In addition, Note holders agreed, among other things, to allow certain entities related to Sprint’s existing spectrum securitization notes program (“Existing Sprint Spectrum Program”) to be non-guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that the principal amount of the spectrum notes issued and outstanding under the Existing Sprint Spectrum Program does not exceed $7.0 billion and that the principal amount of such spectrum notes reduces the amount available under the Credit Facilities ratio basket, and to revise the definition of GAAP to mean generally accepted accounting principles in effect from time to time, unless the Company elects to “freeze” GAAP as of any date, and to exclude the effect of the changes in the accounting treatment of lease obligations (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Proposed Amendments,” and together with the Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments, the “Proposed Amendments”). In connection with receiving the requisite consents for the Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Proposed Amendments, our upfront payments to third party Note holders were $14

~~Index for Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, and were recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These upfront payments increased the effective interest rate of the related debt.

~~In connection with obtaining the requisite consents, on May 20, 2018, T-Mobile USA, the guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, executed and delivered the 37~~^th supplemental indenture to the Indenture, pursuant to which, with respect to each of the Notes, the Proposed Amendments will become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination with Sprint.

We paid third party bank fees associated with obtaining the requisite consents related to the Proposed Amendments of $6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, which we recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If the Business Combination is consummated, we will make additional payments to third party Note holders for requisite consents related to the Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments of up to $54 million and additional payments to third party Note holders for requisite consents related to the Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Proposed Amendments of up to $41 million. We have not accrued these payments as of June 30, 2018.

The change in the contract asset balance includes customer activity related to new promotions, offset by billings on existing contracts and impairment which is recognized as bad debt expense.

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. The change in contract liabilities is primarily related to customer activity associated with our prepaid plans including the receipt of cash payments and the satisfaction of our performance obligations.

The additional $7.5 billion repurchase authorization is contingent upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement.2018.

Under the repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions, and other considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. Repurchased shares are retired.

JUMP! On Demand allows customers to lease a device (handset or tablet) over a period of up to 18 months and upgrade it for a new device up to one time per month. Upon device upgrade or at lease end, customers must return or purchase their device. The purchase price at the expiration of the lease is established at lease commencement and reflects the estimated residual value of the device, which reflects the estimated fair value of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term. The JUMP! On Demand leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or variable lease payments, and there are no restrictions or covenants imposed by these leases. Leased wireless devices are included in Property and equipment, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Leases (Topic 840) Disclosures

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease standard using a modified-retrospective approach by recognizing and measuring leases at the adoption date with a cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and did not restate the prior periods presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, prior periods presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements continue to be in accordance with the former lease standard, Topic 840 Leases. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information.

Operating Leases

Under the previous lease standard, we had non-cancellable operating leases for cell sites, switch sites, retail stores and office facilities. As of December 31, 2018, these leases had contractual terms expiring through 2028, with the majority of cell site leases having an initial non-cancelable term of five to ten years with several renewal options. In addition, we had operating leases for dedicated transportation lines with varying expiration terms through 2027.

Our commitments under leases existing as of December 31, 2018 were approximately $2.7 billion for the year ending December 31, 2019, $4.7 billion in total for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, $3.3 billion in total for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2023 and $3.8 billion in total for years thereafter.

Total rent expense under operating leases, including dedicated transportation lines, was $734 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and was classified as Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Note 1411 – Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

~~Operating Leases~~In September 2018, we signed a reciprocal long-term spectrum lease with Sprint. The lease includes an offsetting amount to be received from Sprint for the lease of our spectrum. Lease payments began in the fourth quarter of 2018. The minimum commitment under this lease as of March 31, 2019 is $523 million. The reciprocal long-term lease is a distinct transaction from the Merger.

~~We have non-cancellable~~Under the previous lease standard certain of our network backhaul arrangements were accounted for as operating leases. Obligations under these agreements were included within our operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018.

These agreements no longer qualify as leases for cell sites, switch sites, retail stores and office facilities with contractual terms expiring through 2028. The majority of cell site leases have an initial non-cancelable term of five to ten years with several renewal options. In addition, we have operating leases for dedicated transportation lines with varying expiration terms through 2024.under the new lease standard.

~~Purchase Commitments~~

We have commitments for non-dedicated transportation lines with varying expiration terms through 2029. In addition, we have commitments to purchase spectrum licenses, wireless devices, network services, equipment, software, marketing sponsorship agreements and other items in the ordinary coursefixed-rate debt. The fair value of business, with various terms through 2028. These amounts are not reflective of our entire anticipated purchases under the related agreements, but are determined based on the non-cancelable quantities or termination amounts to which we are contractually obligated.

We have contractual obligations to purchase certain goods and services from various other parties. Our purchase obligations are approximately $2.2 billion for the year ended June 30, 2019, $2.5 billion in total for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, $1.6 billion in total for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 and $1.1 billion in total for the years thereafter.

In June 2018, we entered into an agreement for the purchase of network equipment totaling approximately $3.5 billion. Based on unavoidable spend, the minimum commitment under this agreement is $175 millioninterest rate lock derivatives as of ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019 was a liability of $703 million and is included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for further information.

Renewable Energy Purchase Agreements

In ~~June 2018,~~April 2019, T-Mobile USA entered into a ~~renewable energy purchase agreement (the “REPA”~~Renewable Energy Purchase Agreement (“REPA”) with a third ~~party. The REPA~~party that is based on the expected operation of a ~~wind energy-generating~~solar photovoltaic electrical generation facility located in ~~Illinois~~Texas and will remain in effect until the fifteenth anniversary of the respective facility’s entry into commercial operation. Commercial operation of the facility is expected to occur by the end of 2020. The REPA consists of two components: (1) an energy forward agreement that is net settled based on energy prices and the energy output generated by the facility and (2) a commitment to purchase environmental attributes (“EACs”) in the same amount as the energy output generated by the facility. T-Mobile USA will net settle the forward agreement and acquire the EACs monthly by paying, or receiving, an aggregate net payment based on two variables (1) the facility’s energy output, which has an estimated maximum capacity of approximately 150 megawatts and (2) the difference between (a) an initial fixed price, subject to annual escalation, and (b) current local marginal energy prices during the monthly settlement period. We have determined that the REPA does not meet the definition of a derivative because the expected energy output of the facility may not be reliably estimated (the arrangement lacks a notional amount).July 2021. The REPA does not contain ~~any unconditional purchase obligations because amounts under the agreement are not fixed and determinable. Our participation in the REPA did not require an upfront investment~~a defined commitment, volume, or capital commitment. We do not control the activities that most significantly impact the energy-generating facility nor do we receive specific energy output from it. No amounts were settled under the REPA during the six months ended June 30, 2018.penalty amount.

Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation Matters

We are involved in various lawsuits and disputes, claims, government agency investigations and enforcement actions, and other proceedings (“Litigation 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 rules and regulations. The Litigation Matters described above have progressed to 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, which is reflected in the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements but that ~~we do~~is not ~~consider,~~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:~~to uncertainty concerning legal theories and their resolution by courts or ~~regulators;~~regulators, uncertain damage theories and ~~demands;~~demands, and a less than fully developed factual record. While we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, an unfavorable outcome of some or all of these proceedings 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.

Note 12 – Subsequent Event

In April 2019, T-Mobile USA entered into a REPA with a third party. See Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information.

Note 1513 – Guarantor Financial Information

Pursuant to the applicable indentures and supplemental indentures, the long-term debt to affiliates and third parties issued by T-Mobile USA (“Issuer”) is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by T-Mobile (“Parent”) and certain of the Issuer’s 100% owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

~~In January 2018, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, issued (i) $1.0 billion of public 4.500% Senior Notes due 2026 and (ii) $1.5 billion of public 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028.~~

In April 2018, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, issued (i) $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2026 and (ii) $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028. Additionally, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, redeemed through net settlement, (i) the $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of 8.097% Senior Reset Notes due 2021 and (ii) $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of 8.195% Senior Reset Notes due 2022.

~~See~~ ~~Note 9 - Debt~~ ~~for further information.~~

The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. The indentures and credit facilities governing the long-term debt contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries ~~to:~~to incur more ~~debt;~~debt, pay dividends and make ~~distributions;~~distributions, make certain ~~investments;~~investments, repurchase ~~stock;~~stock, create liens or other ~~encumbrances;~~encumbrances, enter into transactions with ~~affiliates;~~affiliates, enter into transactions that restrict dividends or distributions from ~~subsidiaries;~~subsidiaries, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets. Certain provisions of each of the credit facilities, indentures and supplemental indentures relating to the long-term debt restrict the ability of the Issuer to loan funds or make payments to Parent. However, the Issuer and Guarantor Subsidiaries are allowed to make certain permitted payments to the Parent under the terms of the indentures and the supplemental indentures.

~~During~~On October 23, 2018, SLMA LLC was formed as a limited liability company in Delaware to serve as an escrow subsidiary to facilitate the ~~preparation~~contemplated issuance of notes by Parent in connection with the ~~condensed consolidating financial information~~Transactions.

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:

Proposed Sprint Transaction

On April 29, 2018, we entered into athe Business Combination Agreement to merge with Sprint ~~Corporation (“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”).~~stock.

Immediately following the Merger, it is anticipated that ~~Deutsche Telekom AG (“Deutsche Telekom”)~~DT and SoftBank ~~Group Corp. (“SoftBank”)~~ will hold, directly or indirectly, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 41.7% and 27.4%, respectively, of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, with the remaining approximately 30.9% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held

by other stockholders, based on closing share prices and certain other assumptions as of ~~the date of the Business Combination Agreement.~~December 31, 2018.

~~Acquisitions~~

On January 1, 2018, we closed on our previously announced Unit Purchase Agreement to acquire the remaining equity in Iowa Wireless Services, LLC (“IWS”), a 54% owned unconsolidated subsidiary, for a purchase price of $25 million. We accounted for our acquisition of IWS as a business combination and recognized a bargain purchase gain of approximately $25 million as part of our purchase price allocation and a gain on our previously held equity interest of approximately $15 million in Other income, net in the first quarter of 2018.

~~On January 22, 2018, we completed our acquisition of television innovator Layer3 TV, Inc. (“Layer3 TV”) for cash consideration of $318 million. Upon closing~~ of the transaction, Layer3 TV became a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary. Layer3 TV acquires and distributes digital entertainment programming primarily through the internet to residential customers, offering direct to home digital television and multi-channel video programming distribution services. This transaction represented an opportunity to acquire a complementary service to our existing wireless service to advance our video strategy.

~~Statement of Cash Flows~~

payments for debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, resulting in a reclassification of cash outflows from Operating activities to Financing activities of $181 million and $159 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $212 million and $188 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We have applied the new cash flow standard retrospectively to all periods presented.

~~For additional information regarding the new cash flow standard and the impact of our adoptions, see~~ ~~Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

~~Financial Instruments~~

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard became effective for us, and we adopted the standard, on January 1, 2018. The standard requires the impact of adoption to be recorded to retained earnings under a modified retrospective approach. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Income Taxes~~

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” The standard requires that the income tax impact of intra-entity sales and transfers of property, except for inventory, be recognized when the transfer occurs. The standard became effective for us, and we adopted the standard, on January 1, 2018. The standard requires any deferred taxes not yet recognized on intra-entity transfers to be recorded to retained earnings under a modified retrospective approach. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Hurricane Impacts~~

During the first quarter of 2018, we recognized $36 million in incremental costs to maintain services in Puerto Rico related to hurricanes that occurred in 2017. Additional costs incurred during the second quarter of 2018 were immaterial and are expected to be immaterial during the remainder of 2018. We received reimbursement payments from our insurance carriers for property damage of $94 million during the first quarter of 2018, previously accrued for as a receivable as of December 31, 2017, and $70 million during the second quarter of 2018. We continue to work with our insurance carriers and expect additional reimbursement related to these hurricanes in future periods.

~~The following table shows the hurricane impacts to our results, operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are as follows:~~

Performance Measures

In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by our 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 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.

Churn

Churn represents the 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. We believe that churn provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to evaluate customer retention and loyalty.

Average Revenue Per User ~~Average Billings Per User~~

~~Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”)~~ARPU represents the average monthly service revenue earned from customers. We believe ARPU provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate our service revenue ~~realization~~ per customer and assist in forecasting our future service revenues generated from our customer base. Branded postpaid phone ARPU excludes Branded postpaid other customers and related revenues which includes DIGITS and connected devices such as tablets, wearables and SyncUp ~~DRIVE~~^TM.DRIVE.

Average Billings Per User (“ABPU”) represents the average monthly customer billings, including monthly lease revenues and EIP billings before securitization, per customer. We believe branded postpaid ABPU provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to evaluate average branded postpaid customer billings as it is indicative of estimated cash collections, including device financing payments, from our customers each month.

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a ~~metric~~measure to evaluate and compensate our personnel and management for their performance, and as a benchmark to evaluate our operating performance in comparison to our 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 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, network decommissioning costs and costs related to the ~~proposed Sprint transaction,~~Transactions, as they are not indicative of our 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”).

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

Adjusted EBITDA increased ~~$221~~$328 million, or 7%11%, for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 primarily from:

~~An increase in branded postpaid and prepaid~~Higher service revenues, ~~primarily due to continued growth in existing and Greenfield markets, the growing success of new customer segments such~~ as ~~T-Mobile for Business, T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+, T-Mobile ONE Military, along with record low-churn;~~

~~The positive impact from the new revenue standard of $84 million; and~~

~~The positive impact to cost of services of $70 million related to reimbursement for hurricane losses from our insurance carriers; partially offset by~~

~~Higher selling, general and administrative expenses; and~~

~~Higher net losses on equipment sales.~~

~~Adjusted EBITDA increased $509 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily from:~~

An increase in branded postpaid and prepaid service revenues, primarily due to continued growth in existing and Greenfield markets, higher subscribers from the growing success of new customer segments such as T-Mobile for Business, T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+, T-Mobile ONE Military, along with record-low churn;

~~The positive impact from the new revenue standard of $179 million;~~

~~Lower net losses on equipment sales; and~~further discussed above;

Higher ~~selling,~~Selling, general and administrative ~~expenses;~~expenses.

~~Higher cost of services expenses; and~~

~~Lower gains on disposal of spectrum licenses.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations, proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and common stock, ~~capital~~financing leases, the sale of certain receivables, financing arrangements of vendor payables which effectively extend payment terms and secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities with DT. Upon consummation of the ~~Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”),~~Transactions, we will incur substantial third-party indebtedness which will increase our future financial commitments, including aggregate interest payments on higher total indebtedness, and may adversely impact our liquidity. Further, the incurrence of additional indebtedness may inhibit our ability to incur new debt under the terms governing our existing and future indebtedness, which may make it more difficult for us to incur new debt in the future to finance our business strategy.

Cash Flows

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (the “new cash flow standard”) which impacted the presentation of our cash flows related to our beneficial interests in securitization transactions, which is the deferred purchase price, resulting in a reclassification of cash inflows from Operating activities to Investing activities of approximately $1.3 billion and $882 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2.6 billion and $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The new cash flow standard also impacted the presentation of our cash payments for debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, resulting in a reclassification of cash outflows from Operating activities to Financing activities of $181 million and $159 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $212 million and $188 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We have applied the new cash flow standard retrospectively to all periods presented.

The following is ~~an analysis~~a condensed schedule of our cash flows for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017:~~2018:

~~Incremental Term Loan Facility~~

In March 2018, we amended the terms of the Incremental Term Loan Facility. Following this amendment, the applicable margin payable on LIBOR indexed loans is 1.50% under the $2.0 billion Incremental Term Loan Facility maturing on November 9, 2022 and 1.75% under the $2.0 billion Incremental Term Loan Facility maturing on January 31, 2024. The amendment also modified the Incremental Term Loan Facility to (i) include a soft-call prepayment premium of 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the ~~loans under the Incremental Term Loan Facility~~notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon), payable on April 29, 2019. The redemption premium is $28 million. The outstanding principal amount was reclassified from Long-term debt to ~~DT upon certain refinancing~~affiliates to Short-term debt to affiliates in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of ~~such loans by us with lower priced debt prior to~~March 31, 2019.

We maintain a date that is six months after March 29, 2018 and (ii) update certain covenants and other provisions to make them substantially consistent, subject to certain additional carve outs, with our most recently publicly issued notes. No issuance fees were incurred related to this debt agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

~~Revolving Credit Facility~~

~~In January 2018, we utilized proceeds under our~~$2.5 billion revolving credit facility with DT ~~to redeem~~which is comprised of a $1.0 billion ~~in aggregate principal amount of our 6.125% Senior Notes due 2022 and for general corporate purposes. On January 29, 2018, the proceeds utilized under our~~unsecured revolving credit ~~facility with DT were repaid. The proceeds~~agreement and ~~borrowings from the~~a $1.5 billion secured revolving credit ~~facility are presented in Proceeds from borrowing on revolving credit facility and Repayments~~agreement, with a maturity date of ~~revolving credit facility within Net cash used in financing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.~~December 29, 2021.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was no outstanding balance.

We maintain vendor financing arrangements with our primary network equipment suppliers. Under the respective agreements, we ~~amended the terms~~can obtain extended financing terms. As of ~~(a) our Secured Revolving Credit Facility and (b) our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility.

~~Financing Matters Agreement~~

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, DT and T-Mobile USA entered into a ~~Financing Matters Agreement,~~financing matters agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018, ~~(the “Financing Matters Agreement”). Pursuant~~pursuant to ~~the Financing Matters Agreement,~~which DT agreed, among other things, to consent to the incurrence by

T-Mobile USA of secured debt in connection with and after the consummation of the ~~Merger, and to provide a lock up on sales thereby as to certain senior notes of T-Mobile USA held thereby. In addition, T-Mobile USA agreed, among other things, to repay and terminate, upon closing of~~Merger. If the Merger the Incremental Term Loan Facility and the revolving credit facility of T-Mobile USA which are provided by DT, as well as $2.0 billion of T-Mobile USA’s 5.300% senior notes due 2021 and $2.0 billion of T-Mobile USA’s 6.000% senior notes due 2024.

In connection with receiving the requisite consents, our upfront payment to DT was $7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and was recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt to affiliates in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the Business Combination is consummated, we will make ~~additional~~ payments for requisite consents to ~~DT of $20 million. We have not~~DT. There was no payment accrued ~~these additional payments~~ as of ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

~~Consents on Debt to Third-Parties~~

On May 18, 2018, under the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of May 14, 2018, we obtained consents necessary to effect certain amendments to certain existing debt of us and our Senior Notes to third parties in connection with the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement, third party Notes holders agreed, among other things, to consent to increasing the amount of Secured Indebtedness under Credit Facilities that can be incurred from the greater of $9 billion and 150% of Consolidated Cash Flow to the greater of $9 billion and an amount that would not cause the Secured Debt to Cash Flow Ratio (calculated net of cash and cash equivalents) to exceed 2.00x (the “Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments”) and in each case as such capitalized term is defined in the Indenture. In connection with receiving the requisite consents for the Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments, our upfront payments to third party Note holders were $17 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, and were recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These upfront payments increased the effective interest rate of the related debt.

We paid third party bank fees associated with obtaining the requisite consents related to the Proposed Amendments of $6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, which we recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.subsidiaries. If the ~~Business Combination~~Merger is consummated, we will make ~~additional~~ payments ~~to third party Note holders~~ for requisite consents ~~related~~ to the Ratio Secured Debt Proposed Amendments of up to $54 million and additional payments to third party Note holders for requisite consents related to the Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Proposed Amendments of up to $41 million.

See Note ~~9 – Debt~~3 - Business Combinations ~~of the~~ ~~Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~ for further information.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We ~~could~~may seek additional sources of liquidity, including through the issuance of additional long-term debt in ~~2018,~~2019, to continue to opportunistically acquire spectrum licenses or other assets in private party transactions or for the refinancing of existing long-term debt on an opportunistic basis. Excluding liquidity that could be needed for spectrum acquisitions, or for other assets, we expect our principal sources of funding to be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next 12 ~~months.~~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 high yield callable debt and stock purchases.

We determine future liquidity requirements, for both operations and capital expenditures, based in large part upon projected financial and operating performance, and opportunities to acquire additional spectrum. 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. There are a number of 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 and credit facilities governing our long-term debt to affiliates and third parties, excluding capital leases, contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to: incur more debt; pay dividends and make distributions on our common stock; make certain investments; repurchase stock; create liens or other encumbrances; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into transactions that restrict dividends or distributions from subsidiaries; and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets. Certain provisions of each of the credit facilities, indentures and supplemental indentures relating to the long-term debt to affiliates and third parties restrict the ability of the Issuer to loan funds or make payments to the Parent. However, the Issuer is allowed to make certain permitted payments to the Parent under the terms of each of the credit facilities, indentures and supplemental indentures relating to the long-term debt to affiliates and third parties. We were in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants as of ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

~~Capital~~Financing Lease Facilities

We have entered into uncommitted ~~capital~~financing lease facilities with certain partners, which provide us with the ability to enter into ~~capital~~financing leases for network equipment and services. As of ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we have committed to ~~$2.5~~$3.1 billion of ~~capital~~financing leases under these ~~capital~~financing lease facilities, of which ~~$176 million and $318~~$91 million was executed during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2018, respectively.~~March 31, 2019. We expect to enter into up to an additional ~~$582~~$809 million in ~~capital~~financing lease commitments during ~~2018.~~2019.

Capital Expenditures

Our liquidity requirements have been driven primarily by capital expenditures for spectrum licenses and the construction, expansion and upgrading of our network infrastructure. Property and equipment capital expenditures primarily relate to our network transformation, including the ~~build out~~build-out of ~~700 MHz A-Block and~~our network to utilize our 600 MHz spectrum licenses. We expect cash purchases of property and equipment, excluding capitalized interest of approximately $400 million, to be ~~at the high end~~$5.4 to $5.7 billion and cash purchases of ~~the range of $4.9 billion~~property and equipment, including capitalized interest, to ~~$5.3~~be $5.8 to $6.1 billion in ~~2018.~~2019. This includes expenditures for the continued deployment of 600 MHz and laying the groundwork for 5G deployment. This does not include property and equipment obtained through ~~capital~~financing lease agreements, leased wireless devices transferred from inventory or any additional purchases of spectrum licenses.

Share Repurchases

~~Effective as of~~On December 6, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $1.5 billion of our common stock through December 31, ~~2018. During the three and six months ended June 30,~~ 2018 ~~we repurchased an additional 6.2 million and 16.7 million shares of our common stock, respectively, for $388 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. From the inception of the 2017~~(the “2017 Stock Repurchase ~~Program through April 27, 2018, we repurchased 23.7 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $63.07 for a total purchase price of $1.5 billion.~~Program”). Repurchased shares are retired. The ~~repurchase program~~2017 Stock Repurchase Program completed on April 29, 2018.

Dividends

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~ ~~for further information.~~foreseeable future. Our credit facilities and the indentures and supplemental indentures governing our long-term debt to affiliates and third parties, excluding financing leases, contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock.

~~Related-Party~~Related Party Transactions

~~During the first half of 2018, we entered into certain debt related transactions with affiliates. See~~ ~~Note 9 – Debt~~ ~~of the~~ ~~Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~ ~~for further information.~~

We ~~also~~ have related party transactions associated with DT or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, including intercompany servicing and licensing.

Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“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, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, 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 DT. We have relied upon DT for information regarding their 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: Gostaresh Ertebatat Taliya, Irancell Telecommunications Services Company, ~~(“MTN Irancell”),~~ Telecommunication Kish Company, Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran, and Telecommunication Infrastructure Company of Iran. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided basic telecommunications services to Telecommunication Company of Iran and to three customers in Germany identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control: Bank Melli, Bank Sepah, and Europäisch-Iranische Handelsbank. These services have been terminated or are in the process of being terminated. For the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, gross revenues of all DT affiliates generated by roaming and interconnection traffic and telecommunications services with ~~Iran~~the Iranian parties identified herein were less than $1$0.1 million, and the estimated net profits were less than $1$0.1 million.

In addition, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, operating a ~~fixed line~~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, 2018~~March 31, 2019 were less than $0.1 million. We understand that DT intends to continue these activities.

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, 2018, T-Mobile~~March 31, 2019, we derecognized net receivables of ~~$2.7~~$2.5 billion upon sale through these arrangements. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivablesof the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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. Except as described below, 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, ~~2017.~~2018.

The policy below is critical because it requires management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies.

~~Revenue Recognition~~Leases

We ~~primarily generate our revenue from providing wireless services to customers~~adopted the new lease standard on January 1, 2019 and ~~selling or leasing devices~~recognized right-of-use assets and accessories. Our contracts with customers may involve multiple performance obligations, which include wireless services, wireless devices or a combination thereof, and we allocate the transaction price between each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.lease liabilities for operating leases that have not previously been recorded.

Significant ~~Judgments~~Judgments:

The most significant judgments ~~affecting~~and impacts upon adoption of the ~~amount and timing of revenue from contracts with our customers~~standard include the ~~following items:~~following:

~~For transactions where we recognize a significant financing component, judgment is required~~In evaluating contracts to determine if they qualify as a lease, we consider factors such as if we have obtained or transferred substantially all of the ~~discount rate. For EIP sales,~~rights to the underlying asset through exclusivity, if we can or if we have transferred the ability to direct the use of the asset by making decisions about how and for what purpose the asset will be used and if the lessor has substantive substitution rights.

We recognized right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for operating leases that have not previously been recorded. The lease liability for operating leases is based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. The right-of-use asset for operating leases is based on the lease liability adjusted for the reclassification of certain balance sheet amounts such as prepaid rent and deferred rent which we remeasured at adoption due to the application of hindsight to our lease term estimates. Deferred and prepaid rent will no longer be presented separately.

Capital lease assets previously included within Property and equipment, net were reclassified to financing lease right-of-use assets and capital lease liabilities previously included in Short-term debt and Long-term debt were reclassified to financing lease liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

•

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on changes in the consumer price ~~primarily reflects current market interest rates and~~index (CPI). Lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes in the ~~estimated credit risk of~~CPI; instead, changes in the ~~customer.~~

~~Our products~~CPI are ~~generally sold with a right of return, which is accounted for~~treated as variable ~~consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Expected device returns are estimated based on historical experience.~~

~~Promotional bill credits offered to a customer on an equipment sale that are paid over time~~lease payments and are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract may result in an extended service contract based on whether a substantive penalty is deemed to exist. Determining whether contingent bill credits result in a substantive termination penalty, and determining the term over which a substantive termination penalty exists, may require significant judgment.

~~For capitalized contract costs, determining the amortization period as well as assessing the indicators of impairment may require significant judgment.~~

~~The determination of the standalone selling price for contracts that involve more than one product or service (or performance obligation) may require significant judgment.~~

~~The identification of distinct performance obligations within our service plans may require significant judgment.~~

~~Wireless Services Revenue~~

Revenue for service contracts that we assess are not probable of collection is not recognized until the contract is completed and cash is received. Collectibility is re-assessed when there is a significant change in facts or circumstances. Our assessment of collectibility considers whether we may limit our exposure to credit risk through our right to stop transferring additional service in the event the customer is delinquent.

Federal Universal Service Fund and other regulatory fees are assessed by various governmental authorities in connection with the services we provide to our customers and included in Cost of services. When we separately bill and collect these regulatory fees from customers, they are recorded in Total service revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

~~We have made an accounting policy election to exclude~~excluded from the measurement of the ~~transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority~~right-of-use asset and lease liability. These payments are recognized in the period in which the related obligation was incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We elected the use of hindsight whereby we applied current lease term assumptions that are ~~both imposed~~applied to new leases in determining the expected lease term period for all cell sites. Upon adoption of the new standard and application of hindsight our expected lease term has shortened to reflect payments due for the initial non-cancelable lease term only. This assessment corresponds to our lease term assessment for new leases and aligns with the payments that have been disclosed as lease commitments in prior years. As a result, the average remaining lease term for cell sites has decreased from approximately nine to five years based on ~~and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by T-Mobile from a customer (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes).~~lease contracts in effect at transition on January 1, 2019. The aggregate impact of using the hindsight is an estimated decrease in Total operating expense of $240 million in fiscal year 2019.

~~Equipment Revenues~~

We ~~generate equipment revenues from~~were also required to reassess the ~~sale or lease~~previously failed sale-leasebacks of ~~mobile~~certain T-Mobile-owned wireless communication ~~devices~~tower sites and accessories. For performance obligations related to equipment contracts, we typically transfer control at a point in time when the device or accessory is delivered to, and accepted by, the customer or dealer. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. We establish provisions for estimated device returns based on historical experience. Equipment sales not probable of collection are generally recorded as payments are received. Our assessment of collectibility considers contract terms such as down payments that reduce our exposure to credit risk.

We offer certain customers the option to pay for devices and accessories in installments using an EIP. Generally, we recognize as a reduction of the total transaction price the effects of a financing component in contracts where customers purchase their devices and accessories on an EIP with a term of more than one year, including those financing components that are not considered to be significant to the contract. However, we have elected the practical expedient to not recognize the effects of a significant financing component for contracts where we expect, at contract inception, that the period betweendetermine whether the transfer of the assets to the tower operator under the arrangement met the transfer of control criteria in the revenue standard and whether a ~~performance obligation~~sale should be recognized.

We concluded that a sale has not occurred for the 6,200 tower sites transferred to CCI pursuant to a ~~customer~~master prepaid lease arrangement; therefore, these sites will continue to be accounted for as failed sale-leasebacks.

We concluded that a sale should be recognized for the 900 tower sites transferred to CCI pursuant to the sale of a subsidiary and the ~~customer’s payment~~500 tower sites transferred to PTI. Upon adoption on January 1, 2019 we derecognized our existing long-term financial obligation and the tower-related property and equipment associated with these 1,400 previously failed sale-leaseback tower sites and recognized a lease liability and right-of-use asset for ~~that performance obligation will be one year or less.~~

~~In addition, for customers who enroll in our JUMP!~~^®~~program, we recognize a liability based on~~ the ~~estimated fair value~~leaseback of the ~~specified-price trade-in right guarantee.~~tower sites. The ~~fair value of the guarantee is deducted~~estimated impacts from the ~~transaction price~~change in accounting conclusion are primarily a decrease in Other revenues of $44 million and a decrease in Interest expense of $34 million.

See ~~“Guarantee Liabilities” in~~ Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ~~included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.~~

~~In 2015, we introduced JUMP! On Demand, which allows customers to lease a device~~ and upgrade their leased wireless device for a new device up to one time per month. To date, all of our leased wireless devices are accounted for as operating leases and estimated contract consideration is allocated between lease elements and non-lease elements (such as service and equipment performance obligations) based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation in the contract. Lease revenues are recorded as equipment revenues and recognized as earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease revenues on contracts not probable of collection are limited to the amount of payments received. See “Property and Equipment” in Note 110 - ~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~Leases ~~included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.~~

~~Contract Balances~~

~~Generally, T-Mobile devices and service plans are available at standard prices, which are maintained on price lists and published on our website and/or within our retail stores.~~

~~Contract assets are included in Other current assets and Other assets and contract liabilities are included in Deferred revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~

~~Contract Modifications~~

~~Our service contracts allow customers to frequently modify their contracts without incurring penalties in many cases. Each time a contract is modified, we evaluate the change in scope or price~~ of the contract to determine if the modification should be treated as a separate contract, as if there is a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract, or if the modification should be considered a change associated with the existing contract. We typically do not have significant impacts from contract modifications.

~~Contract Costs~~

~~Incremental costs to obtain equipment contracts (e.g., commissions paid on device and accessory sales) are recognized when the equipment is transferred to the customer.~~

~~See~~ ~~Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~and~~ ~~Note 11 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ ~~of the~~ Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the interest rate risk as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

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 are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under 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 are filed as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Beginning January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease standard. As a result of our adoption of the new lease standard, we have implemented significant new lease accounting systems, processes and internal controls over lease accounting to assist us in the application of the new lease standard. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note ~~14 -~~11 – Commitments and Contingenciesof the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q~~ for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~In addition to the other information contained~~There have been no material changes in ~~this Form 10-Q, the~~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, 2017, and as supplemented by the following risk factors and the risk factors contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the preliminary joint consent solicitation/proxy statement of T-Mobile and Sprint included in the registration statement on Form S-4 file with the SEC on July 30, 2018, should be considered carefully in evaluating T-Mobile. Our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results, as well as the price of our common stock and other securities, could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.2018.

~~Risks Related to the Proposed Transactions~~

The closing of the Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of approvals from various governmental entities, which may not approve the Transactions, may delay the approvals for, or may impose conditions or restrictions on, jeopardize or delay completion of, or reduce or delay the anticipated benefits of, the Transactions, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Transactions will not be completed.

The completion of the Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, obtaining certain governmental authorizations, consents, orders or other approvals, including the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the receipt of required approvals from the FCC and any state and territorial public utility commissions or similar state and foreign regulatory bodies, clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and approval by the Defense Security Service, and the absence of any injunction prohibiting the Transactions or any legal requirements enacted by a court or other governmental entity preventing the completion of the Transactions. There is no assurance that these required authorizations, consents, orders or other approvals will be obtained or that they will be obtained in a timely manner, or whether they will be subject to required actions, conditions, limitations or restrictions on the combined company’s business, operations or assets. If any such required actions, conditions, limitations or restrictions are imposed, they may jeopardize or delay completion of the Transactions, reduce or delay the anticipated benefits of the Transactions or allow the parties to the Business Combination Agreement to terminate the Business Combination Agreement, which could result in a material adverse effect on our or the combined company’s business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, the completion of the Transactions is also subject to T-Mobile USA having specified minimum credit ratings on the closing date of the Transactions (after giving effect to the Merger) from at least two of three specified credit rating agencies, subject to certain qualifications. In the event that we terminate the Business Combination Agreement in connection with a failure to satisfy the closing condition related to the specified minimum credit ratings, then in certain circumstances, we may be required to pay Sprint an amount equal to $600 million. If the Transactions are not completed by April 29, 2019 (subject to extension to July 29, 2019, and further extension to October 29, 2019, if the only conditions not satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, which conditions are then capable of being satisfied) are conditions relating to the required regulatory and other governmental consents and the absence of restraints), either we or Sprint may terminate the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement

~~may also be terminated if the other conditions to closing are not satisfied, and wee and Sprint may also mutually decide to terminate the Business Combination Agreement.~~

~~Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact us and our business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations.~~

If the Merger is not completed for any reason, we may be subject to a number of material risks. The price of our common stock may decline to the extent that its current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed. In addition, some costs related to the Transactions must be paid by us whether or not the Transactions are completed. Furthermore, we may experience negative reactions from our stockholders, customers, employees, suppliers, distributors, retailers, dealers and others who deal with us, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, it is expected that if the Merger is not completed, we will continue to lack the network, scale and financial resources of the current market share leaders in, and other companies that have more recently begun providing, wireless services. Further, if the Merger is not completed, it is expected that we will not be able to deploy a nationwide 5G network on the same scale and on the same timeline as the combined company, and therefore will continue to be limited in their respective abilities to compete effectively in the 5G era.

We are subject to various uncertainties, including litigation and contractual restrictions and requirements while the Transactions are pending that could disrupt our or the combined company’s business and adversely affect our or the combined company’s business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition and results of operations.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Transactions on employees, customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, dealers and retailers may have an adverse effect on us or the combined company. These uncertainties may impair the ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel during the pendency of the Transactions and, if the Transactions are completed, for a period of time thereafter, as existing and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company, the combined company’s business following the completion of the Transactions could be negatively impacted. We or the combined company may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring and retaining replacements for departing employees and may lose significant expertise and talent. Additionally, these uncertainties could cause customers, suppliers, distributors, dealers, retailers and others to seek to change or cancel existing business relationships with us or the combined company or fail to renew existing relationships. Suppliers, distributors and content and application providers may also delay or cease developing for T-Mobile or the combined company new products that are necessary for the operations of its business due to the uncertainty created by the Transactions. Competitors may also target our existing customers by highlighting potential uncertainties and integration difficulties that may result from the Transactions.

The Business Combination Agreement also restricts us, without Sprint’s consent, from taking certain actions outside of the ordinary course of business while the Transactions are pending, including, among other things, certain acquisitions or dispositions of businesses and assets, entering into or amending certain contracts, repurchasing or issuing securities, making capital expenditures and incurring indebtedness, in each case subject to certain exceptions. These restrictions may have a significant negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Management and financial resources have been diverted and will continue to be diverted toward the completion of the Transactions. We have incurred, and expect to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Transactions. These costs could adversely affect our or the combined company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we and our affiliates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, investigations and proceedings and litigation matters that arise from time to time, and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters could adversely affect us and our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the combined company.

~~The Business Combination Agreement contains provisions that restrict the ability of our Board to pursue alternatives to the Transactions.~~

The Business Combination Agreement contains non-solicitation provisions that restrict our ability to solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any proposal the completion of which would constitute an alternative transaction for purposes of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement does not permit us to terminate the Business Combination Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for, or to complete, such an alternative transaction.

A significant stockholder of T-Mobile has executed a support agreement that requires such stockholder to deliver a written consent in favor of the Transactions, which will constitute approval of the Transactions by our stockholders, even if our Board changes its recommendation to our stockholders.

Subsequent to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, DT and DT Holding entered into a support agreement under which they agreed to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to all of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by DT Holding. As of April 25, 2018, DT Holding held approximately 63.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The delivery of the written consent will constitute receipt by us of the requisite approval of our stockholders for the Transactions, and DT and DT Holding are required to deliver the written consent even if our Board changes its recommendation to our stockholders.

~~Our directors and officers may have interests in the Transactions different from the interests of our stockholders.~~

Certain of our directors and executive officers negotiated the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Our directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transactions that are different from, or in addition to, those of our stockholders. These interests include, but are not limited to, the continued service of certain of our directors as directors of the combined company, the continued employment of certain of our executive officers by the combined company, severance agreements and amended employment terms and other rights held by our directors and executive officers, and provisions in the Business Combination Agreement regarding continued indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers.

~~Risks Related to Integration and the Combined Company~~

~~Although we expect that the Transactions will result in synergies and other benefits, those synergies and benefits may not be realized or may not be realized within the expected time frame.~~

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions will depend, to a large extent, on the combined company’s ability to integrate our and Sprint’s businesses in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and achieves the projected standalone cost savings and revenue growth trends identified by each company without adversely affecting current revenues and investments in future growth. In addition, some of the anticipated synergies are not expected to occur for a significant time period following the completion of the Transactions and will require substantial capital expenditures in the near term to be fully realized. Even if the combined company is able to integrate the two companies successfully, the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, including the expected synergies and network benefits, may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

Our business and Sprint’s business may not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected. Operating costs, customer loss and business disruption, including difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, suppliers or vendors, may be greater than expected following the Transactions. Revenues following the Transactions may be lower than expected.

The combination of two independent businesses is complex, costly and time-consuming and may divert significant management attention and resources to combining our and Sprint’s business practices and operations. This process may disrupt our business. The failure to meet the challenges involved in combining the two businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company and could adversely affect the results of operations of the combined company. The overall combination of our and Sprint’s businesses may also result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, and loss of customer and other business relationships. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:

~~the diversion of management attention to integration matters;~~

difficulties in integrating operations and systems, including intellectual property and communications systems, administrative and information technology infrastructure and financial reporting and internal control systems;

~~challenges in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the two companies;~~

~~difficulties in integrating employees and attracting and retaining key personnel;~~

~~challenges in retaining existing customers and obtaining new customers;~~

~~difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, accretion targets, business opportunities, financing plans and growth prospects from the combination;~~

~~difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company;~~

~~the impact of the additional debt financing expected to be incurred in connection with the Transactions;~~

~~the transition of management to the combined company management team, and the need to address possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies;~~

~~contingent liabilities that are larger than expected; and~~

~~potential unknown liabilities, adverse consequences and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the Transactions.~~

Many of these factors are outside of our control and/or will be outside the control of the combined company, and any one of them could result in lower revenues, higher costs and diversion of management time and energy, which could materially impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. In addition, even if the operations of our and Sprint’s businesses are integrated successfully, the full benefits of the Merger may not be realized, including, among others, the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of our and Sprint’s businesses. All of these factors could cause dilution to the earnings per share of the combined company, decrease or delay the projected accretive effect of the Merger, and negatively impact the price of our common stock following the Merger. As a result, it cannot be assured that the combination of T-Mobile and Sprint will result in the realization of the full benefits expected from the Transactions within the anticipated time frames or at all.

The indebtedness of the combined company following the completion of the Transactions will be substantially greater than the indebtedness of each of T-Mobile and Sprint on a standalone basis prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. This increased level of indebtedness could adversely affect the combined company’s business flexibility and increase its borrowing costs.

In connection with the Transactions, we and Sprint have conducted, and expect to conduct, certain pre-Merger financing transactions, which will be used in part to prepay a portion of our and Sprint’s existing indebtedness and to fund liquidity needs. After giving effect to the pre-Merger financing transactions, the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, we anticipate that the combined company will have consolidated indebtedness of approximately $75.0 billion to $77.0 billion, based on estimated December 31, 2018 debt and cash balances and excluding tower obligations.

Our substantially increased indebtedness following the Transactions will have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business, economic, market and industry conditions and increasing the amount of cash required to meet interest payments. In addition, this increased level of indebtedness following the Transactions may reduce funds available to support efforts to combine our and Sprint’s businesses and realize the expected benefits of the Transactions, and may also reduce funds available for capital expenditures, share repurchases and other activities that may put the combined company at a competitive disadvantage relative to other companies with lower debt levels. Further, it may be necessary for the combined company to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in its debt instruments, which could increase the risks associated with the capital structure of the combined company.

Because of the substantial indebtedness of the combined company following the completion of the Transactions, there is a risk that the combined company may not be able to service its debt obligations in accordance with their terms.

The ability of the combined company to service its substantial debt obligations following the Transactions will depend in part on future performance, which will be affected by business, economic, market and industry conditions and other factors, including the ability of the combined company to achieve the expected benefits of the Transactions. There is no guarantee that the combined company will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its debt obligations when due. If the combined company is unable to meet such obligations or fails to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in the agreements governing such debt obligations, it may be required to refinance all or part of its debt, sell important strategic assets at unfavorable prices or make additional borrowings. The combined company may not be able to, at any given time, refinance its debt, sell assets or make additional borrowings on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations after the Transactions.

In addition, some or all of the combined company’s variable-rate indebtedness may use the LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the rate. LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently than in the past. The consequence of these developments cannot be entirely predicted, but could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.

~~The agreements governing the combined company’s indebtedness and other financings will include restrictive covenants that limit the combined company’s operating flexibility.~~

The agreements governing the combined company’s indebtedness and other financings will impose material operating and financial restrictions on the combined company. These restrictions, subject in certain cases to customary baskets, exceptions and maintenance and incurrence-based financial tests, may limit the combined company’s ability to engage in transactions and pursue strategic business opportunities, including the following:

~~incurring additional indebtedness and issuing preferred stock;~~

~~paying dividends, redeeming capital stock or making other restricted payments or investments;~~

~~selling or buying assets, properties or licenses;~~

~~developing assets, properties or licenses which the combined company has or in the future may procure;~~

~~creating liens on assets securing indebtedness or other obligations;~~

~~participating in future FCC auctions of spectrum or private sales of spectrum;~~

~~engaging in mergers, acquisitions, business combinations or other transactions;~~

~~entering into transactions with affiliates; and~~

~~placing restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments.~~

These restrictions could limit the combined company’s ability to obtain debt financing, make share repurchases, refinance or pay principal on its outstanding indebtedness, complete acquisitions for cash or indebtedness or react to business, economic, market and industry conditions and other changes in its operating environment or the economy. Any future indebtedness that the combined company incurs may contain similar or more restrictive covenants. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the combined company’s debt agreements may result in an event of default under these agreements, which in turn may result in defaults or acceleration of obligations under these and other agreements, giving the combined company’s lenders the right to terminate any commitments they had made to provide it with further funds and to require the combined company to repay all amounts then outstanding.

~~The financing of the Transactions is not assured.~~

Although we have received debt financing commitments from lenders to provide various bridge and other credit facilities to finance the Transactions, the obligation of the lenders to provide these facilities is subject to a number of conditions. We may seek to modify our existing financing arrangements in connection with the Transactions, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, and we do not currently have commitments from lenders providing our existing financing arrangements for these modifications. Even if we are able to obtain financing or modify their existing financing arrangements, the terms of such new or modified financing arrangements may not be available to us on favorable terms, and we may incur significant costs in connection with entering into such financing. Accordingly, financing for the Transactions may not be obtained on the expected terms or at all.

In particular, we have received commitments for a $19.0 billion secured bridge loan facility. We expect to conduct one or more secured notes offerings to reduce commitments under the secured bridge facility. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue the secured notes or other long-term financing on terms it finds acceptable or at all, in which case we may choose to borrow under the secured bridge facility. Accordingly, the costs of financing for the Transactions may be higher than expected.

~~Credit rating downgrades could adversely affect the businesses, cash flows, financial condition and operating results of T-Mobile and, following the Transactions, the combined company.~~

Credit ratings impact the cost and availability of future borrowings, and, as a result, cost of capital. Our current ratings reflect each rating agency’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet our debt obligations or, following the completion of the Transactions, obligations to the combined company’s obligors. Each rating agency reviews these ratings periodically and there can be no assurance that such ratings will be maintained in the future. A downgrade in the rating of us and/or Sprint could adversely affect the businesses, cash flows, financial condition and operating results of T-Mobile and, following the Transactions, the combined company.

~~We have incurred, and will incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the Transactions.~~

We have incurred, and will incur, substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of completing the Transactions, and over a period of time following the completion of the Transactions, the combined company also expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with integrating and coordinating our and Sprint’s businesses, operations, policies and procedures. A portion of the transaction costs related to the Transactions will be incurred regardless of whether the Transactions are completed. While we have assumed that a certain level of transaction expenses will be incurred, factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses will exceed the costs historically borne by us. These costs could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations prior to the Transactions and the financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Transactions.
