Forward Guidance
T-Mobile provided a strong outlook for 2023, driven by continued profitable customer growth and merger synergies.
Positive Outlook
- Postpaid net customer additions are expected to be between 5.0 million and 5.5 million, expected to lead the industry for the 9th consecutive year.
- Core Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $28.7 billion and $29.2 billion, up 10% year-over-year at the mid-point.
- Merger synergies are expected to be between $7.2 billion and $7.5 billion.
- Net cash provided by operating activities is expected to be between $17.8 billion and $18.3 billion, up 8% year-over-year at the mid-point.
- Free Cash Flow is expected to be between $13.1 billion and $13.6 billion, up approximately 75% year-over-year at the mid-point.
Challenges Ahead
- Merger-related costs are expected to be approximately $1.0 billion before taxes. These costs are excluded from Core Adjusted EBITDA but will impact Net income, Net cash provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow.
- Capital expenditures are expected to be between $9.4 billion and $9.7 billion.
- 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.
- Free Cash Flow guidance does not assume any material net cash inflows from securitization in 2023.
- Core Adjusted EBITDA should not be used to predict Net income as the difference between this measure and Net income is variable.
