in touch with the five most important people in their lives. In the quarter, we also introduced HotSpot@Homesm, the first in a new line of breakthrough products and services that allow customers to make unlimited calls from home while providing the best in-home wireless coverage possible. With this introduction, the landline replacement revolution has begun in earnest.”

“T-Mobile USA continues to play an important role for DT and remains a major growth driver for our business in terms of revenues and profitable growth,” said René Obermann, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Telekom. “In addition the team’s strong performance as a product innovator and a leader in customer service drives the way for our entire business when it comes to superior product quality and service orientation.”

Customers

 

 

In the second quarter of 2007, T-Mobile USA added 857,000 net new customers, down from 980,000 in the first quarter of 2007, and up from 613,000 in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Contract customer net additions in the second quarter of 2007 made up 80% of customer growth, up from 74% in the first quarter of 2007, and down from 83% in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Contract customers comprised 84% of T-Mobile USA’s total customer base at June 30, 2007.

Blended churn, including both contract and prepaid customers, was 2.7% in the second quarter of 2007, slightly up from 2.6% in the first quarter of 2007 and down from 2.9% in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

On a blended basis, the impact of lower contract customer churn was offset by higher prepaid churn in the second quarter of 2007.

OIBDA and Net Income

 

   

T-Mobile USA reported OIBDA of $1.39 billion in the second quarter of 2007, up from $1.22 billion in the first quarter of 2007 and $1.21 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

OIBDA margin was 32% in the second quarter of 2007, up from 30% in the first quarter of 2007 and the same as in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

The sequential margin improvement was due to the continued strength in revenue combined with stable CCPU and slightly reduced CPGA (see below).

 

   

Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $350 million, up 11% from $315 million in the first quarter of 2007 and up 50% from $233 million in the second quarter of 2006.

Revenue

 

   

Service revenues, consisting of contract, prepaid, and roaming and other service revenues, rose to $4.20 billion in the second quarter of 2007, up from $3.99 billion in the first quarter of 2007 and $3.59 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

The increase is due primarily to growth in the number of customers and strong contract ARPU (“Average Revenue Per User” as defined in note 1 to the Selected Data, below).

 

   

Other revenues were $89 million in the second quarter of 2007, consistent with $88 million in the first quarter of 2007 and down from $177 million in the second quarter of 2006.

The ongoing migration of Cingular’s customers to its own network following the dissolution of our network sharing venture in early 2005 was the major reason for the year on year fall in other revenues.

 

   

In 2007, WiFi revenues were reclassified to contract revenues and roaming and other service revenues (see note 8 to the Selected Data below for further explanation).

 

   

Total revenues, including service, equipment, and other revenues were $4.78 billion in the second quarter of 2007, up from $4.55 billion in the first quarter of 2007 and $4.21 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

ARPU

 

   

Blended ARPU was $53 in the second quarter of 2007, up from $52 in the first quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Contract ARPU was $57 in the second quarter of 2007, up from $56 in the first quarter of 2007 and up from $55 in the second quarter of 2006, driven by increases in data and airtime revenues.

 

   

Data services revenues (see notes 1 and 8 below) were $616 million in the second quarter of 2007, representing 14.7% of blended ARPU, or $7.80 per customer, compared to 14.3%, or $7.50 in the first quarter of 2007, and 10.9%, or $5.70 in second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Strong growth in messaging revenue continued to be the most significant driver increasing data ARPU. The total number of SMS and MMS messages increased to 18 billion in the second quarter of 2007, compared to almost 16 billion in the first quarter of 2007 and 8 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

Strong take-up of converged devices, such the T-Mobile SideKick, the T-Mobile Dash and BlackBerry devices, continued during the quarter.

CPGA and CCPU

 

 

The average cost of acquiring a customer, Cost Per Gross Add (“CPGA” as defined in note 3 to the Selected Data, below) was $300 in the second quarter of 2007, down from $310 in the first quarter of 2007 and $320 in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

The lower CPGA compared to the first quarter of 2007 is due to lower costs of acquisition, due primarily to a reduced subsidy loss.

 

 

The average cash cost of serving customers, Cash Cost Per User (“CCPU” as defined in note 2 to the Selected Data, below), was $25 per customer per month in the second quarter of 2007, in line with the first quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

CCPU was consistent compared to the first quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2006 due to higher network costs being offset by lower subsidy losses.

Capital Expenditures

 

 

Ongoing operational capital expenditures (purchases of property and equipment) were $546 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with $622 million in the first quarter of 2007 and $593 million in the second quarter of 2006.

 

   

The reduction in cash capital expenditures compared to the first quarter of 2007 was due to higher incurred capital spend being more than offset by cash payment timing differences.

 

 

T-Mobile USA continued its commitment to invest in network coverage and quality in the second quarter of 2007, adding almost 600 new cell sites, bringing the total number of cell sites at the end of the quarter to almost 36,400.

Other Highlights

 

 

For the sixth consecutive reporting period, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Wireless Customer Care Performance StudySM released in July 2007, T-Mobile not only earned the highest ranking once again, but its overall customer care score was significantly higher than that of any other wireless carrier.

1 Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) represents the average monthly service revenue we earn from our customers. ARPU is calculated by dividing service revenues for the specified period by the average customers during the period, and further dividing by the number of months in the period. We believe ARPU provides management with useful information to evaluate the recurring revenues generated from our customer base.

     Service revenues include contract, prepaid, and roaming and other service revenues, and do not include equipment sales and other revenues. Data services revenues is a component of service revenues. Per the consolidated financial statements below, among other items other revenues include co-location rental income and wholesale revenues from the usage of our network in California, Nevada, and New York by Cingular customers, and are therefore not included in ARPU.

 

2 The average cash cost of serving customers, or Cash Cost Per User (“CCPU”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes all network and general and administrative costs as well as the subsidy loss unrelated to customer acquisition. Subsidy loss unrelated to customer acquisition includes upgrade handset costs offset by upgrade equipment revenues and other related direct costs. This measure is calculated as a per month average by dividing the total costs for the specified period by the average total customers during the period and further dividing by the number of months in the period. We believe that CCPU, which is a measure of the costs of serving a customer, provides relevant and useful information and is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business.

 

3 Cost Per Gross Add (“CPGA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the costs of acquiring a new customer, consisting of customer acquisition costs plus the subsidy loss related to customer acquisition for the specified period, by gross customers added during the period. Subsidy loss related to customer acquisition consists primarily of the excess of handset and accessory costs over related revenues incurred to acquire new customers. We believe that CPGA, which is a measure of the cost of acquiring a customer, provides relevant and useful information and is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business.

 

4 OIBDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as operating income before depreciation and amortization. In a capital-intensive industry such as wireless telecommunications, we believe OIBDA, as well as the associated percentage margin calculation, to be meaningful measures of our operating performance. OIBDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. We use OIBDA as an integral part of our planning and internal financial reporting processes, to evaluate the performance of our senior management and to compare our performance with that of many of our competitors. We believe that operating income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable to OIBDA.

 

5 OIBDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as OIBDA (as described in note 4 above) divided by total revenues less equipment sales.

 

6 Capital expenditures include amounts paid by T-Mobile USA for purchases of property, plant and equipment.

 

7 The covered population statistic represents T-Mobile USA’s GSM / GPRS 1900 voice and data network coverage, combined with roaming and other agreements.

 

8 Data ARPU is defined as total data revenues from contract customers, prepaid customers, and other data revenues, divided by average contract and prepaid customers during the period. Wi-Fi revenues have historically been reported in other (non-service) revenues. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, Wi-Fi revenues are shown as a component of service revenues. As a result of this change, data ARPU was approximately $0.60 higher in the second quarter of 2007. If this change was applied retrospectively it would

     have had similar impacts on data ARPU and data revenue in each of the four quarters of 2006. Since the impacts of this change on contract ARPU, blended ARPU, and service revenues are immaterial, these metrics have not been retroactively adjusted in prior periods.

 

9 Cell sites are defined as the total number of sites in service at the end of the period, excluding small low power, low gain access sites. A site is in service when all equipment is installed and the site is integrated into the network. Prior quarter cell site information has been updated to align with this definition.

 

10 In the quarter, postpay customers were renamed contract customers in line with Deutsche Telekom group reporting terminology.
