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 and Interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between either of these measures and Net income is variable.\nAdjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to Net income as follows:\n\n\n\n\nQuarter\n\n\n(in millions)\nQ1 2023\n\nQ2 2023\n\nQ3 2023\n\nQ4 2023\n\nQ1 2024\n\n\nNet income\n$\n1,940\n\n\n$\n2,221\n\n\n$\n2,142\n\n\n$\n2,014\n\n\n$\n2,374\n\n\n\nAdjustments:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterest expense, net\n\n835\n\n\n\n861\n\n\n\n790\n\n\n\n849\n\n\n\n880\n\n\n\nOther income, net\n\n(9\n)\n\n\n(6\n)\n\n\n(41\n)\n\n\n(12\n)\n\n\n(20\n)\n\n\nIncome tax expense\n\n631\n\n\n\n717\n\n\n\n705\n\n\n\n629\n\n\n\n764\n\n\n\nOperating income\n\n3,397\n\n\n\n3,793\n\n\n\n3,596\n\n\n\n3,480\n\n\n\n3,998\n\n\n\nDepreciation and amortization\n\n3,203\n\n\n\n3,110\n\n\n\n3,187\n\n\n\n3,318\n\n\n\n3,371\n\n\n\nStock-based compensation (1)\n\n173\n\n\n\n155\n\n\n\n152\n\n\n\n164\n\n\n\n140\n\n\n\nMerger-related costs\n\n358\n\n\n\n276\n\n\n\n152\n\n\n\n248\n\n\n\n130\n\n\n\nLegal-related (recoveries) expenses, net (2)\n\n(43\n)\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n1\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n(Gain) loss on disposal group held for sale\n\n(42\n)\n\n\n17\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\nOther, net (3)\n\n153\n\n\n\n54\n\n\n\n513\n\n\n\n13\n\n\n\n13\n\n\n\nAdjusted EBITDA\n\n7,199\n\n\n\n7,405\n\n\n\n7,600\n\n\n\n7,224\n\n\n\n7,652\n\n\n\nLease revenues\n\n(147\n)\n\n\n(69\n)\n\n\n(53\n)\n\n\n(43\n)\n\n\n(35\n)\n\n\nCore Adjusted EBITDA\n$\n7,052\n\n\n$\n7,336\n\n\n$\n7,547\n\n\n$\n7,181\n\n\n$\n7,617\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(1)\n\nStock-based compensation includes payroll tax impacts and may not agree to stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements.

Special Items include Merger-related costs, gain 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\").\nT-Mobile US, Inc.Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures (continued)(Unaudited)\nAdjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated as follows:\n\n\n\n\nQuarter\n\n\n(in millions, except percentages)\nQ1 2023\n\nQ2 2023\n\nQ3 2023\n\nQ4 2023\n\nQ1 2024\n\n\nNet cash provided by operating activities\n$\n4,051\n\n\n$\n4,355\n\n\n$\n5,294\n\n\n$\n4,859\n\n\n$\n5,084\n\n\n\nCash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest\n\n(3,001\n)\n\n\n(2,789\n)\n\n\n(2,424\n)\n\n\n(1,587\n)\n\n\n(2,627\n)\n\n\nProceeds from sales of tower sites\n\n6\n\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n—\n\n\n\nProceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions\n\n1,345\n\n\n\n1,309\n\n\n\n1,131\n\n\n\n1,031\n\n\n\n890\n\n\n\nAdjusted Free Cash Flow\n$\n2,401\n\n\n$\n2,877\n\n\n$\n4,003\n\n\n$\n4,305\n\n\n$\n3,347\n\n\n\nNet cash provided by operating activities margin (Net cash provided by operating activities divided by Service revenues)\n\n26.1\n%\n\n\n27.7\n%\n\n\n33.3\n%\n\n\n30.3\n%\n\n\n31.6\n%\n\n\nAdjusted Free Cash Flow margin (Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Service revenues)\n\n15.4\n%\n\n\n18.3\n%\n\n\n25.2\n%\n\n\n26.8\n%\n\n\n20.8\n%\n\n\n\nAdjusted Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities less Cash purchases of property and equipment, plus 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.
