The company's strong customer relationship results contributed to industry-best service revenue growth, including postpaid service revenue growth, strong net income, industry-leading Core Adjusted EBITDA growth, and industry-leading cash flow growth, while fueling stockholder returns of $6.0 billion.

    "Q1 marked a strong start to the year as we continue to execute against our ambitious 2026 and 2027 targets, representing yet another proof point of our winning formula and unique differentiation," said Srini Gopalan, CEO of T-Mobile. "We reported accelerating postpaid net account growth and strong postpaid ARPA growth, reflecting this team's differentiated ability to not only attract new customer relationships but also deepen the engagement with our existing base. This drove the outsized results you see, including industry-leading financial growth. We're more confident than ever in our strategy and the opportunities ahead of us, supported by the industry's best growth portfolio in core wireless, broadband, and smart adjacencies. The best truly lies ahead of us."

    Industry-leading claims are based on consensus expectations if results are not yet reported.

    Core Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. These 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 these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures tables. We are not able to forecast Net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect Net income, including, but not limited to, Special Items, Income tax expense and Interest expense. Core Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between this measure and Net income is variable.

    In Q4 2025, we began implementing network restructuring initiatives as a result of recent technological advancements that enhanced our Customer-Driven Coverage insights. Network restructuring initiative costs consist of network decommissioning and contract termination costs related to the rationalization of our network and backhaul services and the elimination of duplicative costs.

    Other, net, primarily consists of certain severance, restructuring and other expenses, gains and losses, not directly attributable to the UScellular acquisition, which are not reflective of T-Mobile's ongoing core business activities and are, therefore, excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA. Other, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, includes $141 million and $390 million of severance and related costs associated with the 2025-2026 workforce transformation, respectively.

     

    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 UScellular merger-related costs, costs associated with the network restructuring initiative (as discussed above), certain legal-related expenses and recoveries, Impairment expense, restructuring costs not directly attributable to the UScellular acquisition (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, including our chief operating decision maker, to monitor the financial performance of our operations and allocate resources of the company as a whole. 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 and broadband 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").
