results today, raising full-year customer and cash flow guidance
while delivering industry-leading customer growth across the board,
including crossing the 100 million postpaid customers milestone and

acquisition of Metronet, the nation’s fastest growing pure-play
fiber provider.
“It was another industry-leading quarter for T-Mobile as our
continued focus on delivering customers more value and a superior
network experience enabled us to outperform our peers in the
marketplace and translated into outsized financial growth,” said
Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “Our formula is continuing to work
and we’ve got a lot of room to run including pursuing new growth
opportunities that bring the Un-carrier experience to more
customers and new markets. This incredible momentum makes us even
more excited for what’s next for T-Mobile, and our confidence is
reflected in our raised guidance for the full year ahead.”

measure and Net income is variable.

measure to monitor the financial performance of Company operations,
excluding the impact of lease revenues from related device
financing programs. Guidance ranges assume lease revenues of
approximately $100 million for 2024.

Stock-based compensation includes payroll
tax impacts and may not agree to stock-based compensation expense
in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally,
certain stock-based compensation expenses associated with the
Sprint Merger have been included in Merger-related costs (gain),
net.
(2)
Merger-related costs (gain), net, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024, includes the $100 million
gain recognized for the extension fee previously paid by DISH
associated with the DISH License Purchase Agreement.
(3)
Legal-related (recoveries) expenses, net
consists of the settlement of certain litigation associated with
the August 2021 cyberattack, net of insurance recoveries.
(4)
Other, net, primarily consists of certain
severance, restructuring and other expenses, gains and losses,
including severance and related costs associated with the August
2023 workforce reduction, not directly attributable to the Merger,
which are not reflective of T-Mobile’s core business activities and
are, therefore, excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted
EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before Interest expense, net
of Interest income, Income tax expense, Depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation and certain expenses, gains
and losses, which are not reflective of our ongoing operating
performance (“Special Items”). Special Items include Merger-related
costs (gain), net, (Gain) loss on disposal groups held for sale,
certain legal-related recoveries and expenses, restructuring costs
not directly attributable to the Merger (including severance), and
other non-core gains and losses. Core Adjusted EBITDA represents
Adjusted EBITDA less device lease revenues. Core Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures utilized by
T-Mobile’s management to monitor the financial performance of our
operations. T-Mobile uses Core Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
as benchmarks to evaluate T-Mobile’s operating performance in
comparison to its competitors. T-Mobile also uses Core Adjusted
EBITDA internally as a measure to evaluate and compensate its
personnel and management for their performance. Management believes
analysts and investors use Core Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
as supplemental measures to evaluate overall operating performance
and to facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications
services companies because they are indicative of 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, and Special Items. Management believes analysts and
investors use Core Adjusted EBITDA because it normalizes for the
transition in the company’s device financing strategy, by excluding
the impact of device lease revenues from Adjusted EBITDA, to align
with the related depreciation expense on leased devices, which is
excluded from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Core Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and
should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for Net
income or any other measure of financial performance reported in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“GAAP”).
