In the fourth quarter of 2023, we

150,000 due to fewer customers than expected whose service was
deactivated as a result of the network shutdowns.

T-Mobile US, Inc. Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
This Press Release 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
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.

Stock-based compensation includes payroll
tax impacts and may not agree to stock-based compensation expense
in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, certain
stock-based compensation expenses associated with the Sprint Merger
have been included in Merger-related costs.
(2)
Legal-related (recoveries) expenses, net
consists of the settlement of certain litigation associated with
the August 2021 cyberattack, net of insurance recoveries.
(3)
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 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”).
