T-Mobile USA Reports Third Quarter 2004 Results BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 2004--T-Mobile USA, Inc. (NYSE: - DT):
  • 901,000 net new customers added in Q3 2004
  • Net new customers totaled 3.2 million during the first three quarters of 2004, up from 2.2 million for the first three quarters of 2003
  • $788 million in Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) in Q3 2004, reaching a record OIBDA margin of 30%
  • Net Income of $254 million in Q3 2004

T-Mobile USA, Inc. ("T-Mobile USA") the U.S. operation of T-Mobile International AG & Co. KG ("T-Mobile International"), the mobile communications subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG ("Deutsche Telekom") (NYSE: DT), today announced third quarter 2004 results. All financial amounts are in USD and are based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") in order to provide comparability with the results of other U.S. wireless carriers. T-Mobile USA results are included in the consolidated results of Deutsche Telekom, but differ from the information contained herein as Deutsche Telekom reports its financial results in accordance with German generally accepted accounting principles.

In the third quarter of 2004, T-Mobile USA added 901,000 net new customers, compared with 1,092,000 added in the second quarter of 2004 and 670,000 in the third quarter of 2003. About 90% of the growth in the third quarter of 2004 came from new postpay customers, which currently comprise 89% of the customer base.

"This has been an award winning quarter for T-Mobile USA," said Robert Dotson, President and CEO of T-Mobile USA. "J.D. Power and Associates, in several 2004 regional and national studies announced this past quarter, ranked T-Mobile highest in Customer Care Performance, Wireless Call Quality, Wireless Retail Satisfaction, and overall Customer Satisfaction for Wireless Telephone Users, all of which speaks strongly to our ability to deliver a quality customer experience across all parts of our operation. Our ongoing commitment to quality and value was the key to attracting the 901,000 net new customers we added this past quarter and in increasing our customer base by more than 24% since the first of the year."

T-Mobile USA reported OIBDA of $788 million in the third quarter of 2004, up from $717 million in the second quarter of 2004 and $461 million in the third quarter of 2003. OIBDA margin (OIBDA divided by service revenues) was 30% in the third quarter of 2004, compared to 29% in the second quarter of 2004 and 24% in the third quarter of 2003. T-Mobile USA's net income for the third quarter of 2004 was $254 million, improved from $240 million net income in the second quarter of 2004 and a $39 million net loss in the third quarter of 2003.

"T-Mobile USA continues to effectively balance strong customer growth with solid financial results," said Rene Obermann, CEO of T-Mobile International and Member of the Board of Management, Deutsche Telekom. "OIBDA of $788 million this past quarter represents a 10% sequential increase from an already strong second quarter and a 71% improvement from the third quarter of 2003. This continued OIBDA improvement was achieved even with a 35% increase in the T-Mobile USA customer base over the past 12 months."

T-Mobile USA service revenues, which consist of postpay, prepaid, and roaming and other service revenues, were $2.61 billion in the third quarter of 2004, up from $2.46 billion in the second quarter of 2004 and $1.90 billion in the third quarter of 2003. In addition to high customer growth, revenue increases in 2004 reflect inclusion of two new components compared to 2003: Universal Service Fund ("USF") recovery fees and regulatory cost recovery fees. Both items are explained further in the footnotes to Selected Data, below.

Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU", as defined in the footnotes to the Selected Data, below) was $55 in the third quarter of 2004, consistent with $55 in the second quarter of 2004 and up from $54 in the third quarter of 2003. (After adjusting for USF and regulatory cost recovery fees, total ARPU was approximately the same in the third quarter 2003 as the third quarter of 2004.) Excluding the impact of USF and regulatory fees, postpay ARPU has trended upward for the past year, largely due to the ongoing growth of data services revenue, which now comprises 5.6% of postpay ARPU, compared to 5.0% in the second quarter of 2004 and 2.7% in the third quarter of 2003.

Postpay churn averaged 2.6% per month in the third quarter of 2004, up from 2.4% in the second quarter of 2004, and down from 2.7% in the third quarter of 2003. Blended churn, a mix of postpay and prepaid customers, was 3.0% in the third quarter of 2004, up from 2.8% in the second quarter of 2004 and down from 3.3% in the third quarter of 2003. The sequential increase in churn is primarily the result of an increase in the volume of postpay customers reaching their one-year service anniversaries.

The average cost of acquiring a customer, Cost Per Gross Add ("CPGA", as defined in the footnotes to the Selected Data, below) was $301 in the third quarter of 2004, down from $318 in the second quarter of 2004, and $334 in the third quarter of 2003. The sequential improvement in CPGA is due to a number of factors, the most significant of which is lower dealer compensation.

The average cash cost of serving customers, Cash Cost Per User ("CCPU", as defined in the footnotes to the Selected Data, below), was $24 per customer per month in the third quarter of 2004, an increase from $23 in the second quarter of 2004 and consistent with $24 in the third quarter of 2003. The sequential increase in CCPU is due to an increase in customer support and retention costs. (After adjusting for USF fees, CCPU would have been $1 higher in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2004.)

Capital expenditures were $453 million in the third quarter of 2004, down from $664 million in the second quarter of 2004 and up from $407 million in the third quarter of 2003. These capital expenditure totals do not include our share of investment in the network operations venture with Cingular Wireless LLC ("Cingular") in New York, California and Nevada, which is reported as investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates. T-Mobile USA's share of expenditures, on an accrual basis, in this venture was $124 million in the third quarter of 2004, down from $267 million in the second quarter. Capital expenditures continue to be focused on quality and capacity improvements in the GSM/GPRS network. Through the first three quarters of 2004, T-Mobile USA has added over 2,150 new cell sites, bringing the number of total cell sites to over 29,000, including sites in California and Nevada.

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with GAAP provided throughout this press release, non-GAAP financial measures are also included. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information provided in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation from the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided below following Selected Data and the financial statements.

GET MORE HIGHLIGHTS

Get More Service...Excellence!!

T-Mobile USA's ongoing commitment to providing excellent customer satisfaction earned the company highest honors in several independent studies announced by J.D. Power and Associates beginning in the third quarter:

  • In July, T-Mobile was ranked highest among national carriers, by a significant margin, in the 2004 Customer Care Performance Study.
  • In August, T-Mobile ranked highest in the 2004 Wireless Call Quality Performance Study in the Southeast and Southwest regions, and ranked highly overall in the study.
  • In September, the 2004 U.S. Wireless Regional Customer Satisfaction Index Study ranked T-Mobile highest in all six geographic regions. According to J.D. Power, T-Mobile performed particularly well by demonstrating a competitive advantage in customer service, service plan options, cost of service and billing.
  • In early fourth quarter, T-Mobile USA ranked highest out of the seven national wireless carriers in the Wireless Retail Satisfaction Performance Study.

Delivering First-Of-Its-Kind Converged Wireless Devices:

T-Mobile USA continued its leadership position in the third quarter by delivering first-of-its kind converged wireless devices that offer customers better ways to communicate:

  • Building on the success of the first T-Mobile Sidekick, the company introduced the T-Mobile Sidekick II, which is already a hit with sports, television, film and music celebrities across the country.
  • T-Mobile launched the exclusive RIM BlackBerry 7100t phone, a breakthrough innovation that packs all of the power of BlackBerry into a traditional phone design.
  • T-Mobile introduced the HP iPAQ h6315 Pocket PC taking advantage of T-Mobile's national GSM/GPRS wireless voice and high-speed data network, as well as the T-Mobile HotSpot Wi-Fi Internet service.

We Are Now In Even More "Places You Already Go":

T-Mobile USA continued its wireless broadband leadership by expanding its T-Mobile HotSpot Wi-Fi network to over 5,000 locations thanks, in part, to a new partnership with Accor Hotels. T-Mobile HotSpot customers can also use their service in thousands of locations across Europe and Asia Pacific. The company is the only U.S. carrier to implement the 802.1x security standard across its network, reinforcing its emphasis on delivering a national carrier grade Wi-Fi network.

    Because all companies do not calculate these figures in the same
manner, the information contained in this presentation may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

(1) Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU") represents the average monthly
    service revenue we earn from our customers. ARPU is calculated by
    dividing total service revenues for the specified period by the
    average customers during the period and further dividing by the
    number of months in the period.

    Blended ARPU in the third, second and first quarters of 2004
    includes $0.86, $0.86 and $0.89, respectively, representing fees
    charged to our customers each quarter and remitted under the
    Universal Services Fund ("USF") provision of the
    Telecommunications Act of 1996. We previously netted these fees in
    our financial statements. Reporting such amounts separately as
    revenues and network operating expenses has no impact on our
    operating income, OIBDA or net income. Had we recorded USF fees
    separately as revenues and expenses in 2003, blended ARPU would
    have been approximately $1 higher per quarter for the year.

    Also, blended ARPU in the third, second and first quarters of 2004
    includes $0.78, $0.81 and $0.54, respectively, representing
    regulatory cost recovery fees we began including on postpay
    customer bills during the first quarter. The postpay fee has been
    fixed at $0.86 per month since the first quarter.

(2) The average cash cost of serving customers, or Cash Cost Per User
    ("CCPU") is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes all network
    and general and administrative costs as well as the subsidy loss
    on equipment (handsets and accessories) sales unrelated to
    customer acquisition. This measure is calculated as a per month
    average by dividing the total costs for the specified period by
    the average total customers during the period and further dividing
    by the number of months in the period. We believe that CCPU, which
    is a measure of the costs of serving a customer, provides relevant
    and useful information to our investors and is used by our
    management to evaluate the operating performance of our
    consolidated operations. As noted above, our 2004 revenues and
    network operating expenses include USF fees. Inclusion of these
    fees in network operating expenses increased CCPU during the
    third, second and first quarters of 2004 by $0.86, $0.86 and
    $0.89, respectively. Had we reported USF fees similarly in 2003,
    CCPU would have been approximately $1 higher each quarter.

(3) Cost Per Gross Add ("CPGA") is a non-GAAP financial measure and is
    calculated by dividing the costs of acquiring a new customer,
    consisting of customer acquisition costs plus the subsidy loss on
    equipment (handsets and accessories) sales related to customer
    acquisition for the specified period, divided by gross customers
    added during the period. We believe that CPGA, which is a measure
    of the cost of acquiring a customer, provides relevant and useful
    information to our investors and is used by our management to
    evaluate the operating performance of our consolidated operations.

(4) Service revenues include post pay, prepaid, and roaming and other
    service revenues.

(5) OIBDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as
    operating income before depreciation and amortization. In a
    capital-intensive industry such as wireless telecommunications, we
    believe OIBDA, as well as the associated percentage margin
    calculations, to be meaningful measures of our operating
    performance. OIBDA should not be construed as an alternative to
    operating income or net income as determined in accordance with
    GAAP, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as
    determined in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity.
    We use OIBDA as an integral part of our planning and internal
    financial reporting processes, to evaluate the performance of our
    senior management and to compare our performance with that of many
    of our competitors. We believe that operating income is the
    financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP
    that is the most directly comparable to OIBDA.

(6) Excludes our investment to fund capital expenditures in the
    network infrastructure venture with Cingular Wireless LLC
    ("Cingular"). We and Cingular share in the ownership and operation
    of the network in the New York City area, most of California and
    parts of Nevada. Network capital expenditures in these areas are
    shared between the parties. Our share of these capital
    expenditures is reflected as part of the accompanying Condensed
    Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statement of
    Cash Flows in the line "Investments in and advances to
    unconsolidated affiliates."

(7) Includes sites in New York, California and Nevada owned and
    operated by our network infrastructure venture with Cingular.
