Q2 Results at a Glance

T-Mobile posted broad gains across revenue and profit in the second quarter. Rising postpaid average revenue per account (ARPA) drove growth in both net income and adjusted EBITDA. However, net income and EPS growth were tempered by roughly $146 million in after-tax costs tied to the UScellular acquisition. Net postpaid subscriber additions also slowed from a year earlier, pointing to a deceleration in growth. The company said it posted a wireless Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 46, the highest ever among the three major U.S. carriers.
