T-Mobile remains highly confident in its ability to integrate the networks, people and assets of Sprint and T-Mobile. This integration is expected to deliver $6 billion in annualized savings and deliver a net present value of synergies of $43 billion through a combination of expense reductions and cost avoidance.
Improvements for Sprint customers
Two quarters in, we are delivering on these synergies faster than expected and are targeting more than $1.2 billion in realized synergies in 2020. We expect to realize:
▪Over $600 million of network synergies in 2020, primarily from avoided new site builds and early site decommissioning.
▪Approximately $500 million of sales, service and marketing synergies in 2020, primarily from an acceleration in the rationalization of retail stores, marketing consolidation and organizational redesign.
▪Approximately $100 million of back office synergies in 2020, primarily from an accelerated organizational redesign.
Merger-related costs in Q3 2020 were $288 million compared to $798 million in Q2 2020 and $159 million in Q3 2019. We continue to expect 2H 2020 Merger-related costs of $800 million to $1.0 billion.
Merger-related costs include:
▪Transaction costs, including legal and professional services related to the completion of the Merger;
▪Restructuring costs, including severance, store rationalization and network decommissioning
▪Integration costs to achieve efficiencies in network, retail, information technology and back office operations.

(1)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 GAAP Net income, including, but not limited to, Income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense and Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.

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 and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict net income as the difference between the two measures is variable.
Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows:

(1)Following the Prepaid Transaction (as defined below), starting on July 1, 2020, we will provide MVNO services to DISH. We have included the operating income from discontinued operations in our determination of the Adjusted EBITDA to reflect contributions of the Prepaid Business that will be replaced by the MVNO Agreement beginning on July 1, 2020 in order to enable management, analysts and investors to better assess ongoing operating performance and trends.
(2)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 Transactions have been included in Merger-related costs.
(3)Supplemental employee payroll, third-party commissions and cleaning-related COVID-19 costs were not significant for Q3 2020.
(4)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 or are not reflective of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance, and are therefore excluded in Adjusted EBITDA.

LTM Adjusted EBITDA reflects combined company results of New T-Mobile for Q3 2020 and Q2 2020 and standalone T-Mobile for prior periods. To illustrate the twelve month results of the combined company as if the Merger had closed on January 1, 2019, we have presented pro forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratios. Pro forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the sum of Q3 2020 and Q2 2020 actual Adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively, plus the Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA from Q1 2020 and Q4 2019 of $6.7 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively. These metrics are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results would have been had the Merger actually occurred on the date indicated, nor do they purport to project the future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. Additional information regarding pro forma adjustments is provided in Pro Forma Income Statement Metrics within this Investor Factbook.

(1)In connection with the closing of the Merger, we refined our definition of wholesale customers resulting in the reclassification of certain postpaid and prepaid reseller customers to wholesale customers. Starting with the three months ended March 31, 2020, we discontinued reporting wholesale customers to focus on postpaid and prepaid customers and wholesale revenues, which we consider more relevant than the number of wholesale customers given the expansion of M2M and IoT products.
(2)Prepaid customers with a device installment billing plan historically included as Sprint postpaid customers have been reclassified to prepaid customers to align with New T-Mobile policy.
(3)Customers associated with the Sprint wireless prepaid and Boost brands that were divested on July 1, 2020, have been excluded from our reported customers.
(4)Customers who have rate plans with monthly recurring charges which are considered insignificant have been excluded from our reported customers.
(5)Customers with postpaid phone rate plans without a phone (e.g., non-phone device) have been reclassified from postpaid phone to postpaid other customers to align with New T-Mobile policy.
(6)Certain Sprint customers subjected to collection activity for an extended period of time have been excluded from our reported customers to align with New T-Mobile policy.
(7)Miscellaneous insignificant adjustments to align with New T-Mobile policy.

Pro Forma Income Statement Metrics
(Unaudited)
The following tables present certain income statement metrics on a pro forma basis as though the Merger had been completed on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma income statement metrics have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X (“Article 11”) which is a different basis than the unaudited pro forma financial information included in Note 2 - Business Combinations in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020. The primary difference between the Article 11 pro forma financial information and the ASC 805 pro forma financial information prepared by us is the treatment of certain one-time transaction costs, which are removed from all periods under Article 11 but are recognized as if they had been incurred in their entirety during Q1 2019 under ASC 805. The unaudited pro forma income statement metrics are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial condition would have been had the Merger actually occurred on the date indicated, nor do they purport to project the future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. For the purposes of this section, “Combined” means the summation of historically reported standalone GAAP amounts of T-Mobile and Sprint. “Pro forma adjustments” means adjustments to combined metrics to give effect to matters that are directly attributable to the Merger, factually supportable, and expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. “Pro forma” metrics are those that have been adjusted as required for the presentation of Article 11 pro forma information.
We are re-presenting the pro forma metrics for the three months ended September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2020, as previously disclosed in the Q2 2020 Investor Factbook, to support the reconciliation of our last twelve months pro forma Adjusted EBITDA calculations included in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures section of this Investor Factbook.

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 number with a unique T-Mobile mobile identifier which is associated with an account that generates revenue. Customers generally are qualified either for postpaid service, where they generally pay after incurring service, or prepaid service, where they generally pay in advance.
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 postpaid customers as of the end of the period divided by the number of postpaid accounts as of the end of the period. An account may include postpaid phone, mobile broadband, and DIGITS customers.
4.Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA) - Average monthly postpaid service revenue earned per account. Postpaid service revenues for the specified period divided by the average number of postpaid accounts during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period.
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.
Postpaid phone ARPU excludes postpaid other customers and related revenues.
Service revenues - Postpaid, including handset insurance, 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 all 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 such as Merger-related costs. 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 measure 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 and costs related to the Merger, as they are not indicative of T-Mobile’s 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”).
8.Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Margin % calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues.
9.Smartphones - UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 21/HSPA+ 42/4G LTE enabled converged devices, which integrate voice and data services.
10.Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities less cash purchases of property and equipment, including proceeds from sales of tower sites and proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions and less cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs. 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.
11.Net debt - Short-term debt, short-term debt to affiliates, long-term debt, and long-term debt (excluding tower obligations) to affiliates, short-term financing lease liabilities and financing lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
