Branded Prepaid Customers
| |
▪ | Branded prepaid net customer additions were 386,000 in Q1 2017, compared to 541,000 in Q4 2016 and 807,000 in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower gross additions from increased competitive activity and a delayed tax refund season, increased churn on a growing customer base, continued optimization of our third-party distribution channels and the ongoing de-emphasis of T-Mobile legacy prepaid products. |
| |
▪ | The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by the continued optimization of our third-party distribution channels, including de-emphasis of T-Mobile legacy prepaid products, a delayed tax refund season, and higher MetroPCS deactivations from churn on a growing customer base and increased competitive activity. The decrease was partially offset by higher MetroPCS gross customer additions. |
| |

| |
▪ | Sequentially, the decrease was primarily due to lower gross customer additions. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the decrease was primarily due to higher MVNO deactivations as a result of our MVNO partners deemphasizing Lifeline in favor of higher ARPU customer categories. |
| |
▪ | Although wholesale customer additions are expected to be negative in 2017 as a result of the de-emphasis of Lifeline, we expect growth in total wholesale revenue and margin this year. |
Total Customers
| |
▪ | Total net customer additions were 1,142,000 in Q1 2017 compared to 2,101,000 in Q4 2016 and 2,221,000 in Q1 2016. This was the fourth straight year of adding more than one million total net customer every quarter. |

Depth of T-Mobile's Nationwide Low-Band Spectrum (600 MHz and 700 MHz)
NETWORK
Broadcast Incentive Auction Update
| |
▪ | On April 13, 2017, the FCC announced the results of the broadcast incentive auction which showed that T-Mobile has committed to purchase a nationwide average of 31 MHz of 600 MHz low-band spectrum covering 325 million POPs for $8.0 billion. |
| |
▪ | At the conclusion of the FCC's post-auction licensing process, T-Mobile will own approximately 41 MHz in the low-band (600 MHz and 700 MHz), quadrupling its existing low-band holdings. T-Mobile will own an average of 39 MHz in the Top 100 markets. |
| |
▪ | The purchased spectrum covers 100% of the U.S. and Puerto Rico and will be used to strengthen existing LTE coverage and increase capacity to meet customers' growing demand for mobile data. |
| |
▪ | T-Mobile expects that at least 10 MHz of 600 MHz spectrum covering over one million square miles will be clear in 2017 and we will begin to put this new spectrum to use to benefit T-Mobile and MetroPCS customers later this year. |
| |
▪ | Initial deployment of the spectrum will start in 2017 with handsets arriving in time for the Q4 2017 Holiday season. |
Network Transformation Update
| |
▪ | T-Mobile continues to increase the depth, breadth and functionality of the nation’s densest LTE network by adding new spectrum, re-farming existing spectrum, and implementing new technology. Collectively, these network advancements are providing improved network performance and reliability for T-Mobile's customers. |

(Band, in MHz)
T-Mobile Projected Coverage Map
(as of December 31, 2017)
Spectrum Growth
| |
▪ | In Q1 2017, T-Mobile closed on the previously announced transaction for 700 MHz A-Block spectrum in Eastern Montana, bringing its total low-band spectrum holdings to 272 million POPs. |
| |
▪ | At the end of Q1 2017, T-Mobile owned an average of 79 MHz of spectrum nationwide. The spectrum is comprised of an average of 10 MHz in the 700 MHz band, 29 MHz in the 1900 MHz PCS band and 40 MHz in the AWS band. |
| |
▪ | Upon the conclusion of the FCC's post-auction licensing process, we will own an average of 110 MHz of spectrum nationwide, an increase of 39% in spectrum holdings compared to the end of Q1 2017. The spectrum is comprised of an average of 31 MHz in the 600 MHz band, 10 MHz in the 700 MHz band, 29 MHz in the 1900 MHz PCS band and 40 MHz in the AWS band. |
Network Coverage Growth
| |
▪ | T-Mobile continues to expand its coverage breadth and currently provides 4G LTE coverage to 314 million people. |
| |
▪ | We are targeting to provide 321 million people with 4G LTE coverage by year-end 2017. |
| |
▪ | T-Mobile has 700 MHz A-Block spectrum holdings covering 272 million people or approximately 84% of the U.S. population. The spectrum covers all of the top 10 market areas and 29 of the top 30 market areas in the U.S. |
| |
▪ | T-Mobile has substantially completed the deployment of its 700 MHz A-Block spectrum with the recent launch of Chicago. "Extended Range LTE" is now live in over 530 market areas covering 269 million people or approximately 99% of our 700 MHz A-Block spectrum holdings. |
| |
▪ | Our network expansion provides a unique ability to grow our distribution footprint by 30 to 40 million POPs. We plan to open 3,000 stores in 2017, including 1,500 T-Mobile stores and 1,500 MetroPCS stores. |
Network Capacity Growth
| |
▪ | T-Mobile continues to expand its capacity through the re-farming of existing spectrum and implementation of new technologies including Voice over LTE ("VoLTE"), Carrier Aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, and 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation ("QAM"). |
| |
▪ | At the end of Q1 2017, approximately 71% of the then owned spectrum was being used for 4G LTE compared to 54% at the end of Q1 2016. We expect to continue to re-farm spectrum currently committed to 2G and 3G technologies. |
| |
▪ | Re-farmed spectrum enables T-Mobile to continue expanding Wideband LTE, which currently covers 235 million people. Wideband LTE refers to markets that have bandwidth of at least 15+15 MHz dedicated to 4G LTE. |
| |
▪ | VoLTE currently comprises approximately 70% of total voice calls compared to 51% in Q1 2016. Moving voice traffic to VoLTE frees up spectrum and allows for the transition of spectrum currently used for 2G and 3G to 4G LTE. T-Mobile is leading the U.S. wireless industry in terms of VoLTE migration. |
| |
▪ | Carrier aggregation is live for T-Mobile customers in 754 cities. This advanced technology delivers superior speed and performance by bonding two or three discrete spectrum channels together. |
| |
▪ | 4x4 MIMO is currently available in more than 340 cities. This technology effectively delivers twice the speed, and incremental network capacity, to customers by doubling the number of data paths between the cell site and a customer's device. |
| |
▪ | T-Mobile has rolled out 256 QAM, which increases the number of bits delivered per transmission to enable faster speed. |
| |
▪ | With the Samsung Galaxy S8, we have our first LTE-U capable device. Deployment of LTE-U capable network equipment has already started in limited locations and we plan to expand deployment through the coming year. |

UN-CARRIER INITIATIVES
Un-carrier Updates
| |
▪ | Un-carrier Next: On January 5, 2017, T-Mobile announced that it would go "All In" on Unlimited by making T-Mobile ONE the only postpaid consumer plan available at the Un-carrier. Existing customers can remain on their current plans at their current pricing for as long as they remain a customer, but new consumer postpaid customers will join T-Mobile ONE exclusively. We also announced that we are including sales taxes and regulatory fees in the monthly service plan price for T-Mobile ONE, so that the advertised price is actually what the customer pays. In addition, T-Mobile extended the Un-contract to T-Mobile ONE, guaranteeing that pricing on T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 4G LTE plans will never change for current customers. For the customers that use less data, T-Mobile introduced KickBack on T-Mobile ONE, which will credit up to $10 every month to each participating line that uses 2 GB or less in a month. |

Service Revenues
| |
▪ | T-Mobile is expected to once again lead the industry in year-over-year service revenue percentage growth in Q1 2017. This is expected to mark the 12th consecutive quarter that T-Mobile has led the industry in this measure. |
| |
▪ | Service revenues were $7.329 billion in Q1 2017, up 1.2% from $7.245 billion in Q4 2016 and up 11.4% from $6.578 billion in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the increase was primarily due to growth in both postpaid and prepaid revenues driven by the continued growth in our customer base and the impact from Data Stash, partially offset by a decrease in roaming and other service revenue. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the increase was primarily due to growth in our postpaid and prepaid revenues. Postpaid revenues increased due to growth in the customer base driven by strong customer response to our Un-carrier initiatives and promotions for services and devices, higher branded postpaid phone ARPU including the impact of a decrease in the non-cash net revenue deferral for Data Stash, partially offset by the MVNO Transaction. Prepaid revenues increased due to the expansion into new markets, and the success of the MetroPCS brand, and higher branded prepaid ARPU, partially offset by the impact from the optimization of our third-party distribution channels including the de-emphasis of T-Mobile legacy prepaid products. |

Equipment Revenues
| |
▪ | Equipment revenues were $2.043 billion in Q1 2017, down 25.4% from $2.740 billion in Q4 2016 and up 10.4% from $1.851 billion in Q1 2016. Equipment revenues in Q1 2017 were comprised of lease revenues of $324 million and non-lease revenues of $1.719 billion. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the decrease was due primarily to a lower average revenue per device sold as well as a seasonally lower number of devices sold. This decrease also reflects the absence of an iconic device launch in Q1 2017. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of devices sold and a higher average revenue per device sold due to the continued focus on EIP sales. An increase from purchased leased devices and higher SIM and accessory revenue also contributed to the year-over-year increase. Under the JUMP! On Demand program, upon device upgrade or at lease end, customers must return or purchase their device. The residual value of purchased leased devices is recorded as equipment revenues when revenue recognition criteria have been met. |
Total Revenues
| |
▪ | T-Mobile is expected to once again lead the industry in year-over-year total revenue percentage growth in Q1 2017. This is expected to mark the 15th quarter in the past four years that T-Mobile has led the industry in year-over-year total revenue percentage growth. |
| |
▪ | In Q1 2017, we implemented a previously announced change in presentation related to imputed interest associated with EIP receivables. Under the new presentation, the amortized imputed discount on EIP receivables previously recognized as Interest income has been retrospectively reclassified as Other revenues, which is included in Total revenues. See the Effect of Change in Accounting Principle table for further detail. |
| |
▪ | Total revenues were $9.613 billion in Q1 2017, down 6.1% from $10.234 billion in Q4 2016 and up 11.0% from $8.664 billion in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower equipment revenues, partially offset by higher service revenues. |
| |
▪ | The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher service revenues and equipment revenues. |
Cost of Services

Cost of Equipment Sales
($ in millions, % of Equipment Revs)
OPERATING EXPENSES
Cost of Services
| |
▪ | Cost of services was $1.408 billion in Q1 2017, down 2.6% from $1.445 billion in Q4 2016 and down 0.9% from $1.421 billion in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the decreased was primarily due to lower regulatory program, long distance, and toll costs, partially offset by expenses associated with network expansion. As a percentage of service revenues, cost of service declined by 70 basis points sequentially. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the decrease was primarily due to lower regulatory program and long distance and toll costs, as well as lower lease expense associated with reciprocal spectrum license lease agreements, partially offset by expenses associated with network expansion. As a percentage of service revenues, cost of service declined by 240 basis points year-over-year. |
Cost of Equipment Sales
| |
▪ | Cost of equipment sales was $2.686 billion in Q1 2017, down 18.3% from $3.287 billion in Q4 2016 and up 13.1% from $2.374 billion in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the decrease was primarily due to a seasonally lower number of devices sold as well as a lower average cost per device sold. This decrease also reflects the absence of an iconic device launch in Q1 2017 and a decrease in warranty program costs. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of devices sold, a higher average cost per device sold due to the continued focus on EIP sales and an increase from purchased leased devices, partially offset by a decrease in the impact of returned leased devices. Under the JUMP! On Demand program, upon device upgrade or at lease end, customers must return or purchase their device. The cost of purchased leased devices is recorded as cost of equipment sales. Returned devices transferred from Property and equipment, net are recorded as inventory and are valued at the lower of cost or market with any write-down to market recognized as cost of equipment sales. |

Selling, General and Admin. (SG&A) Expense
| |
▪ | SG&A expense was $2.955 billion in Q1 2017, down 0.1% from $2.959 billion in Q4 2016 and up 7.5% from $2.749 billion in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the slight decrease was primarily due to a seasonally lower volume of gross customer additions, partially offset by strategic investments to support growing the customer base. As a percentage of service revenues, SG&A expense declined by 50 basis points sequentially. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the increase was primarily due to strategic investments to support growing the customer base including higher employee-related costs, commissions and promotional costs. As a percentage of service revenues, SG&A declined by 150 basis points year-over-year. |
Depreciation and Amortization (D&A)
| |
▪ | D&A was $1.564 billion in Q1 2017, up 1.0% from $1.548 billion in Q4 2016 and up 0.8% from $1.552 billion in Q1 2016. |

▪ | Net income was $698 million in Q1 2017, up 79.0% from $390 million in Q4 2016 and up 45.7% from $479 million in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | Earnings per share was $0.80 in Q1 2017 up from $0.45 in Q4 2016 and $0.56 in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the increases in net income and earnings per share were primarily due to $270 million in net tax benefits recognized in Q1 2017 related to a valuation allowance release, higher operating income, as well as after-tax spectrum gains of $23 million recognized in Q1 2017. Excluding the net tax benefits and after-tax spectrum gains recognized in Q1 2017, net income was up $15 million from $390 million to $405 million and EPS was up $0.03 from $0.45 to $0.48. |
| |
▪ | Net income as a percentage of service revenue was 9.5% in Q1 2017 compared to 5.4% in Q4 2016. Net income, excluding the $270 million net tax benefits and $23 million after-tax spectrum gains recognized in Q1 2017, as a percentage of service revenue was 5.5% in Q1 2017, up from 5.4% in Q4 2016. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the increases in net income and earnings per share were primarily due to higher service and equipment revenues and $270 million in net tax benefits recognized in Q1 2017 partially offset by lower after-tax spectrum gains of $23 million and $406 million recognized in Q1 2017 and Q1 2016, respectively and higher cost of equipment sales and SG&A. Excluding the after-tax spectrum gains recognized in Q1 2017 and Q1 2016 and net tax benefits recognized in Q1 2017, net income was up $332 million from $73 million to $405 million and EPS was up $0.38 from $0.10 to $0.48. |
| |
▪ | Net income as a percentage of service revenue was 9.5% in Q1 2017 compared to 7.3% in Q1 2016. Net income, excluding the $270 million net tax benefits in Q1 2017 and $23 million after-tax spectrum gains recognized in Q1 2017 and Q1 2016, as a percentage of service revenue was 5.5% in Q1 2017, up from 1.1% in Q1 2016. |

ADJUSTED EBITDA
| |
▪ | Adjusted EBITDA was $2.668 billion in Q1 2017, up 2.3% from $2.607 billion in Q4 2016 and down 5.2% from $2.814 billion in Q1 2016. |
| |
▪ | In Q1 2017, we implemented a previously announced change in presentation related to imputed interest associated with EIP receivables. Under the new presentation, the amortized imputed discount on EIP receivables previously recognized as Interest income has been retrospectively reclassified as Other revenues, which is included in Total revenues. See the Effect of Change in Accounting Principle table for further detail. |
| |
▪ | Sequentially, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher service revenues and improved cost performance in cost of service and SG&A, partially offset by higher losses on equipment. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA benefited from pre-tax spectrum gains of $37 million in Q1 2017. Excluding spectrum gains, Adjusted EBITDA growth was 0.9% sequentially. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower spectrum gains in Q1 2017 compared to Q1 2016, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, and higher losses on equipment. These decreases were partially offset by higher branded postpaid and prepaid service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA included pre-tax spectrum gains of $37 million in Q1 2017 as compared to $636 million in Q1 2016. Excluding spectrum gains, Adjusted EBITDA growth was 20.8% year-over-year. |
| |
▪ | Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36% in Q1 2017, compared to 36% in Q4 2016 and 43% in Q1 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Excluding spectrum gains, Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36% in Q1 2017, compared to 36% in Q4 2016 and 33% in Q1 2016. |

| |
▪ | Sequentially, the increase was primarily due to changes in working capital. Within working capital, the change in EIP receivables was primarily due to continued growth in EIP billings exceeding EIP device financing in a seasonally slower quarter without iconic device launches. The pay-down of accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $651 million in Q1 2017 compared to net cash provided by growth in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $367 million in Q4 2016. |
| |
▪ | Year-over-year, the increase was primarily due a decrease in net cash outflows from changes in working capital, including changes in inventories, partially offset by other current and long-term liabilities, other current and long-term assets, and an increased pay-down of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The pay-down of accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $651 million in Q1 2017 compared to $492 million in Q1 2016. |

▪ | In January 2017, T-Mobile USA borrowed $4.0 billion (which included $660 million from the December 29, 2016 commitment) under a secured term loan facility (“Incremental Term Loan Facility”) with Deutsche Telekom to refinance $1.98 billion of outstanding secured term loans under its Term Loan Credit Agreement dated November 9, 2015, with the remaining proceeds from the transaction intended to be used to redeem callable high yield debt. |
| |
▪ | In March 2017, T-Mobile USA issued public Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. Issuance costs totaled $5 million and we intend to use the net proceeds of $1.495 billion to redeem callable high yield debt. |
| |
▪ | During the quarter, we redeemed two Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion. As of March 31, 2017, we had delivered the note redemptions for 5 Senior Notes, with an aggregate principal amount of $6.75 billion. The total aggregate amount related to these notes of $6.75 billion had not been redeemed and was classified as Short-term debt as of March 31, 2017. In April 2017, we redeemed one of the Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount $1.750 billion. |
| |
▪ | In March 2017, we entered into an agreement with DT for three Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion. Additionally, we issued a call notice and will redeem through net settlement, the outstanding aggregate principal amounts on two Senior Notes totaling $2.5 billion. The $1.0 billion of excess cash will be used to redeem callable high yield debt. |
| |
▪ | In April 2017, we exercised our option under existing high yield purchase agreements and will issue three Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion to DT on May 9, 2017. The proceeds will be used to fund a portion of the purchase price of spectrum licenses won in the 600 MHz spectrum auction. |

| Original | | Q1 2017 Update |
Branded Postpaid Net Additions (in millions) | 2.4 - 3.4 | | 2.8 - 3.5 |
Adjusted EBITDA ($ in billions) | $10.4 - $10.8 | | Unchanged |
Cash Capex excluding Cap Interest ($ in billions) | $4.8 - $5.1 | | Unchanged |
Net cash provided by operating activities three-year CAGR | 15% - 18% | | Unchanged |
Free cash flow three-year CAGR | 45% - 48% | | Unchanged |
GUIDANCE
| |
▪ | Branded postpaid net customer additions for the full-year 2017 are expected to be between 2.8 and 3.5 million, an increase from the original guidance range of 2.4 and 3.4 million. |
| |
▪ | T-Mobile is not able to forecast net income on a forward looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP net income including, but not limited to, income tax expense, stock based compensation expense, interest expense and interest income. |
| |
▪ | For the full-year 2017, T-Mobile expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $10.4 and $10.8 billion, unchanged from the guidance provided in the prior quarter. This target excludes future spectrum gains and includes expected leasing revenues of $0.8 to $0.9 billion. |
| |
▪ | Cash capital expenditures for the full-year 2017 are expected to be in the range of $4.8 to $5.1 billion, excluding capitalized interest, unchanged from the guidance provided in the prior quarter. |
| |
▪ | Net cash provided by operating activities three-year CAGR from full-year 2016 to full-year 2019 is expected to be between 15% and 18%, unchanged from the guidance provided in the prior quarter. |
| |
▪ | Free Cash Flow three-year CAGR from full-year 2016 to full-year 2019 is expected to be between 45% and 48%, also unchanged from the prior quarter. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP metric and is defined as the difference between Net cash provided by operating activities and Cash purchases of property and equipment. |
| |
▪ | Cash interest payments are expected to be elevated in 2017 compared to 2016 due to the increase in net debt as a result of the broadcast incentive auction and the payment of significant call premiums in connection with the calls on certain callable bonds with high interest rates. Specifically, cash interest payments are expected to increase to $0.7 to $0.8 billion in the second quarter of 2017 including call premiums of $238 million. For comparison, cash interest payments in the first quarter of 2017 amounted to $495 million including call premiums of $29 million. Cash interest payments for the full year are expected to increase to $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion including call premiums of $267 million. Excluding the call premiums, the normalized run-rate for the year will be $1.8 to $1.9 billion. |

Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
(Unaudited)
Effective January 1, 2017, we began presenting the amortization of the imputed discount on our Equipment Installment Plan (“EIP”) receivables as Other revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Prior to the change, the imputed interest was presented as Interest income. We made this change to provide a better representation of amounts earned from our major ongoing operations, align with industry practice and enhance comparability. We have applied this change in accounting principle retrospectively and presented the effect of the change in the table below. For additional information, see Note 1 - Basis of Presentation of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of our Form 10-Q filed April 24, 2017.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
This Investor Factbook includes non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information provided in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below. T-Mobile is not able to forecast net income on a forward looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP net income including, but not limited to, income tax expense, stock based compensation expense, interest expense and interest income. We made an accounting change in 2017 to include imputed interest associated with EIP receivables in Other revenues which are included in Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows:

Other, net may not agree to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income primarily due to certain non-routine operating activities, such as other special items that would not be expected to reoccur, and are therefore excluded in Adjusted EBITDA. |

Definitions of Terms
Operating and financial measures are utilized by T-Mobile's management to evaluate its operating performance and, in certain cases, its ability to meet liquidity requirements. Although companies in the wireless industry may not define measures in precisely the same way, T-Mobile believes the measures facilitate key operating performance comparisons with other companies in the wireless industry to provide management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate past performance and assist in forecasting future performance.
| |
1. | Customer - SIM card with a unique T-Mobile mobile identity number which generates revenue. Branded customers generally include customers that are qualified either for postpaid service, where they generally pay after incurring service, or prepaid service, where they generally pay in advance. Wholesale customers include Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) customers that operate on T-Mobile's network, but are managed by wholesale partners. |
| |
2. | Churn - Number of customers whose service was disconnected as a percentage of the average number of customers during the specified period. The number of customers whose service was disconnected is presented net of customers that subsequently have their service restored within a certain period of time. |
| |
3. | Customers per account - The number of branded postpaid customers as of the end of the period divided by the number of branded postpaid accounts as of the end of the period. An account may include branded postpaid phone and mobile broadband customers. |
| |
4. | Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) - Average monthly service revenue earned from customers. Service revenues for the specified period divided by the average customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. |
Branded postpaid phone ARPU excludes mobile broadband customers and related revenues.
Average Billings per User (ABPU) - Average monthly branded postpaid service revenue earned from customers plus monthly EIP billings and lease revenues divided by the average branded postpaid customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. T-Mobile believes branded postpaid ABPU is indicative of estimated cash collections, including device financing payments, from T-Mobile's postpaid customers each month.
Service revenues - Branded postpaid, including handset insurance, branded prepaid, wholesale, and roaming and other service revenues.
| |
5. | Cost of services - Costs directly attributable to providing wireless service through the operation of T-Mobile's network, including direct switch and cell site costs, such as rent, network access and transport costs, utilities, maintenance, associated labor costs, long distance costs, regulatory program costs, roaming fees paid to other carriers and data content costs. |
Cost of equipment sales - Costs of devices and accessories sold to customers and dealers, device costs to fulfill insurance and warranty claims, write-downs of inventory related to shrinkage and obsolescence, and shipping and handling costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses - Costs not directly attributable to providing wireless service for the operation of sales, customer care and corporate activities. These include commissions paid to dealers and retail employees for activations and upgrades, labor and facilities costs associated with retail sales force and administrative space, marketing and promotional costs, customer support and billing, bad debt expense and administrative support activities.
| |
6. | Net income margin - Margin % calculated as net income divided by service revenues. |
| |
7. | Adjusted EBITDA - Earnings before interest expense, net of interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash stock-based compensation and certain expenses not reflective of T-Mobile's ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized by T-Mobile's management to monitor the financial performance of our operations. T-Mobile uses Adjusted EBITDA internally as a metric to evaluate and compensate its personnel and management for their performance, and as a benchmark to evaluate T-Mobile's operating performance in comparison to its competitors. Management believes analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate overall operating performance and facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications companies because it is indicative of T-Mobile's ongoing operating performance and trends by excluding the impact of interest expense from financing, non-cash depreciation and amortization from capital investments, non-cash stock-based compensation, network decommissioning costs as they are not indicative of T-Mobile's ongoing operating performance and certain other nonrecurring 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 GAAP. In Q1 2017, we made an accounting change to include imputed interest associated with equipment installment plan ("EIP") receivables in Other revenues which are included in Adjusted EBITDA. |
| |
8. | Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Margin % calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. |
| |
9. | Cash capital expenditures - Amounts paid for construction and the purchase of property and equipment. |
| |
10. | Smartphones - UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 21/HSPA+ 42/4G LTE enabled converged devices, which integrate voice and data services. |
| |
11. | Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities less cash capital expenditures for property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is utilized by T-Mobile's management, investors, and analysts to evaluate cash available to pay debt and provide further investment in the business. The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities is detailed in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures schedule. |
| |
12. | Net debt - Short-term debt, long-term debt to affiliates, and long-term debt (excluding tower obligations), less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. |
