CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
T-Mobile raised its 2022 guidance across the board, including postpaid net customer additions, Core Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow.
Positive Outlook
- Postpaid net customer additions are expected to be between 5.3 million and 5.8 million, an increase from prior guidance of 5.0 to 5.5 million.
- Core Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $25.8 billion and $26.2 billion, an increase from prior guidance of $25.6 to $26.1 billion.
- Net cash provided by operating activities is expected to be between $15.7 billion and $16.1 billion, an increase from prior guidance of $15.5 to $16.1 billion.
- Cash purchases of property and equipment are expected to be between $13.2 billion to $13.5 billion, an increase from the prior guidance of $13.0 to $13.5 billion.
- Free Cash Flow is expected to be between $7.2 billion and $7.6 billion, an increase from prior guidance of $7.1 to $7.6 billion.
Challenges Ahead
- Merger-related costs are expected to be between $4.5 billion and $5.0 billion before taxes.
- These costs are excluded from Core Adjusted EBITDA but will impact Net income, Net cash provided from operating activities and Free Cash Flow.
- 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.
- Core Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between this measure and Net income is variable.
- Free Cash Flow guidance does not assume any material net cash inflows from securitization in 2022.
