T-Mobile Annual Report Challenger to Champion Mike Sievert President and Chief Executive Officer an amazing growth year 2024 In 2024, we delivered our greatest growth year in company history across a number of metrics, with more customers than EVER choosing to join the Un-carrier. We also saw our best-ever postpaid phone churn, marking our third year in a row of adding more than 3 million postpaid phone customers. It’s clear that more people, including those in smaller towns, urban and suburban areas, and large-scale enterprises, are choosing T-Mobile and choosing to stay. Our formula is simple and consistent: we have sustainable, long-term structural advantages that allow us to continue to offer a unique combination of best overall network, best value, and best experiences — that no one else can. INTRODUCTION | 1 *AT&T Inc. historically does not disclose postpaid net account additions. **Total customers include total postpaid and prepaid customers. More people than ever joined T-Mobile in 2024. It was a year of industry-leading customer growth, driven by our unmatched combination of the best network, best value, and best experience. For the tenth consecutive year, we led the industry with 6.1 million postpaid net customer additions — more than any other provider. We also had 3.1 million postpaid phone net customer additions, further solidifying our position as the undisputed growth leader in wireless. And because our customers stayed with us at record levels, we had the lowest full-year postpaid phone churn in company history — a testament to the superior experience we deliver. Our best network, best value, and best experience formula drove more individuals, households, and businesses to choose T-Mobile in 2024, which means we’re winning postpaid switchers. We added 1.1 million postpaid net accounts and saw our highest postpaid ARPA growth rate in seven years, as a result of more consumers selecting premium plans and deepening their relationship. Beyond core mobile, we also continued disrupting broadband, with 1.7 million High Speed Internet net customer additions — the most in the industry for the third straight year. By deepening customer relationships and delivering unmatched value, T-Mobile didn’t just grow in 2024 — we redefined what it means to win customers for life. 6.1M Postpaid net customer additions Best-in-industry for 10th year in a row 3.1M Postpaid phone net customer additions Industry-best 1.1M Postpaid net account additions Industry-best* 1.7M High Speed Internet net customer additions Industry-best 2024 customer highlights 63.7M 2018 67.9M 2019 102.1M 2020 108.7M 2021 113.6M 2022 119.7M 2023 129.5M 2024 total customers (end of year)** winning customers for life 3 2 | CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE RESULTS Stockholder Returns in 2024 $14.4B $31.4B returned through Dec. 31, 2024** Postpaid Service Revenues $52.3B Industry-leading growth of 7% YoY* Adjusted Free Cash Flow $17.0B Industry-leading growth of 25% YoY* Core Adjusted EBITDA $31.8B Industry-leading growth of 9% YoY* Net Income $11.3B Highest in company history & growth of 36% YoY* 2024 was a milestone year that showcased T-Mobile’s ability to execute with consistency and deliver industry-leading financial growth once again. Our growth strategy, network leadership, and customer-first approach continued to drive exceptional value for customers and stockholders. With record service revenues, expanding margins, and significant returns to stockholders, we not only exceeded financial expectations but also strengthened our foundation for the future. T-Mobile’s service revenues reached a record $66.2 billion, up 5% year-over-year, fueled by strong ambitious and profitable growth *FY 2024 **Beginning in Q3 2022 through December 31, 2024.

Our postpaid service revenues rose 7% year-over-year to $52.3 billion. Profitability also grew, with Core Adjusted EBITDA up 9% year-over- year to $31.8 billion and Adjusted Free Cash Flow surging 25% year-over-year to a record $17.0 billion. This outsized cash generation enabled us to return $14.4 billion to stockholders through repurchases and dividends in 2024, bringing total stockholder returns to $31.4 billion since we launched the program in late 2022. As we move into 2025, we remain focused on expanding market share, accelerating our digital transformation, and delivering even greater value for both customers and stockholders. service revenues 2024 Financial Results Peter Osvaldik Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer $58.4B 2021 $61.3B 2022 $63.2B 2023 $66.2B 2024 Industry-leading growth of 5% YoY in 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS | 6 FINANCIAL RESULTS | 5 4 T-Mobile maintained its position as the undisputed network leader in 2024, sweeping virtually every major award for network excellence and redefining what it means to deliver a truly exceptional wireless experience. With accolades from trusted benchmarks like Opensignal and Ookla, T-Mobile’s 5G network continues to lead in speed, consistency, and performance, while also collecting wins for fastest download speeds and the best video experience. Along with being the nation’s leading 5G network, we earned recognition for having the world’s most available 5G network. Our world-renowned network leadership also came with record-breaking achievements. We made history by achieving the fastest recorded 5G uplink speeds in the world reaching over 2.2 Gbps, using an emerging feature called New Radio Dual Connectivity (5G DC) on our 5G Standalone (SA) network. Our network remains the only nationwide 5G SA network from a major wireless provider. Additionally, we rolled our four-way carrier aggregation in the downlink at scale across the network, delivering even faster speeds and further increasing network capacity. T-Mobile continues to expand its reach as America’s largest, fastest, and most awarded 5G network. It now covers 98% of Americans and delivers approximately twice the square miles of coverage compared to similar mid-band 5G offerings from competitors. With over 200MHz of spectrum on mid-band carrying over 80% of our network traffic, it's clear to see our early bets in 5G have paid off and T-Mobile has no signs of slowing down, even as the industry moves to 5G Advanced and beyond. It’s clear that even as the reigning network leader, T-Mobile has no signs of slowing down, even as the industry moves to 5G Advanced and beyond. Ulf Ewaldsson President of Technology the network champion 6 | NETWORK LEADERSHIP 7 a giant leap forward in connectivity T-Mobile continued to lead the industry in groundbreaking innovations that push the boundaries of 5G technology. In 2024, we introduced the nation’s first 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) device in partnership with TLC, a pioneer in display across feature-rich smartphones, tablets, and connected devices. This technology enables Wi-Fi only and dated 4G LTE devices to instantly connect to our 5G SA network for improved connectivity and security. It creates a highly affordable entry point into the 5G ecosystem, offering enhanced capabilities compared to public Wi-Fi and 4G LTE, while ensuring reliable performance even on lower-end devices that may not call for the full suite of Advanced 5G features. 2024 was also a pivotal year where we leveraged our nationwide 5G SA network to introduce network slicing at scale. This included the launch of new products like T-Priority and T-SIM Secure SASE, which have redefined how we manage and prioritize data traffic for enhanced user experiences. We also powered wireless point-of-sale terminals and ticketless entries with network slices at events like the Men’s and Women’s PGA of America Championships, Las Vegas Grand Prix, and MLB All-Star Week, showcasing the versatility and reliability of our 5G network in high-demand, real-world scenarios. Our commitment to innovation extends far beyond traditional cellular towers, and in 2024, we made a giant leap forward in our mission to eliminate mobile dead zones. We activated T-Mobile’s groundbreaking satellite- to-cellular capabilities, opening up registration for our beta program and giving people access to the country’s first satellite-to-mobile service that connects automatically to smartphones many people already own. Designed to close coverage gaps across more than 500,000 square miles of the U.S., this cutting-edge technology pairs Starlink’s constellation of satellites with T-Mobile’s leading 5G network to provide coverage in areas where traditional cell towers can’t reach. This service already proved its value in real world scenarios; after Hurricanes Milton and Helene, trial versions helped close coverage gaps to keep people connected when it mattered most. John Saw Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer NETWORK INNOVATION | 9 8 customer love at scale This past year, T-Mobile raised the bar for wireless yet again, bringing T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers more value, more benefits, and even better experiences on America’s best network. T-Mobile’s commitment to delivering value beyond wireless led to the rollout of Magenta Status. As automatic members of Magenta Status from day one, T-Mobile customers get VIP treatment with exclusive benefits from top brands, including 15% off stays at Hilton’s 22 leading hotel brands worldwide, hassle-free car rentals with Dollar and Hertz, $5 movie tickets, 25% off tickets to more than 8,000 Live Nation shows nationwide, and more. This is in addition to access to the best entertainment streaming bundle in wireless, free in-flight Wi-Fi with the top U.S. airlines, free international high-speed data, weekly T-Mobile Tuesdays perks, and more — all at no additional cost to Un-carrier customers. As part of Magenta Status, we launched the best entertainment streaming bundle in wireless with Go5G Next, adding Hulu On Us to an already impressive lineup that includes Apple TV+ On Us, Netflix On Us, and season-long subscriptions to MLB.TV. With more than $35 in monthly streaming benefits — over $400 a year — Go5G Next customers enjoy premium content at unmatched value, simply for choosing the Un-carrier. T-Mobile also launched its all-new T-Life app, the one app for all things T-Mobile. T-Life transforms the way customers manage their Un-carrier life — whether changing a plan, upgrading a device, or exploring all their Magenta Status benefits, including perks and free stuff available every week through T-Mobile Tuesdays. By the end of 2024, the app was the number one lifestyle app on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, with over 50 million downloads. Mike Katz President of Marketing, Strategy and Products And because the Un-carrier never stops innovating on behalf of our customers, we also made a major upgrade to our Go5G Next and Go5G Business Next plans. In October, we introduced a new feature allowing customers to connect their tablets, smartwatches, and laptops for just $5 a month on their Go5G Next plans — making it easier and more affordable than ever to stay connected across all their devices. Metro by T-Mobile, America’s prepaid leader, introduced its Metro Flex plans, revolutionizing prepaid services with an industry first: a free 5G phone when customers join, and the same great deals as new customers when they stay. Metro customers also get the best value in prepaid, scoring benefits like weekly deals through T-Mobile Tuesdays, 100GB of free storage with Google One, Scam Shield protection, and an Amazon Prime membership On Us with Metro Flex Plus. T-Mobile remains driven by our commitment to deliver the best value and the best experiences that make our customers’ lives easier every day — and we won’t stop. 10 | BRAND AND VALUE LEADERSHIP 11 T-Mobile’s impact goes beyond coverage. It's about making meaningful connections. The company’s inaugural Friday Night 5G Lights competition saw over 1,700 high schools vying for a game-changing football field upgrade, showcasing T-Mobile’s commitment to community engagement. And when disaster struck, T-Mobile was there — deploying more than 600 emergency crew members and restoring nearly all network sites within 72 hours after Hurricanes Helene and Milton, while also providing free Wi-Fi, device charging, and thousands of power packs to affected communities. From driving 5G expansion and transforming High Speed Internet to delivering award-winning customer service and stepping up in times of need, T-Mobile remains committed to making life better for every customer, every day. bringing the Un-carrier experience to more customers T-Mobile continued to grow its Consumer business, expanding market share and leading the industry in postpaid switching in both the Top 100 markets and Small Market Rural Areas (SMRA). With an unrivaled network advantage and customer-centric innovations, the Un-carrier delivered greater connectivity to more people than ever before. Our long-term structural advantage — combining best value, best network, and best experience — continues to attract more customers. T-Mobile has expanded 5G coverage by over 500,000 square miles and upgraded more than 61,000 sites to provide faster, more reliable service to millions since 2021. With over 6.4 million High Speed Internet customers at the end of 2024, T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet continues to disrupt the broadband industry and bring much-needed competition to the market. The Un-carrier always puts customers first, and we continued winning their hearts with our most feature-packed plans, Go5G Next and Go5G Plus, delivering unbeatable value and upgrade flexibility. And for the 28th time, T-Mobile earned a J.D. Power award for wireless customer care, marking seven straight years as the industry leader. Jon Freier President, Consumer Group 13 12 | CONSUMER In 2024, T-Mobile for Business achieved record-breaking growth, further cementing its position as the preferred connectivity partner for enterprises, government agencies, and organizations of all sizes. Our business teams consistently outperformed competitors in postpaid phone net additions and churn, reflecting the strength of T-Mobile’s 5G network and expanding solutions portfolio. We introduced T-Priority, the world’s first network slice dedicated to first responders, powered by our 5G standalone core. T-Priority ensures that emergency personnel receive up to five times more network resources than the average user, even during periods of extreme congestion. It also dynamically steers traffic across the nation’s largest and fastest 5G network. Demonstrating the impact of this differentiated capability, the City of New York awarded T-Mobile a major contract to support its Public Safety Network — yet another testament to the company’s network leadership. From SIMs to solutions, businesses continued to adopt T-Mobile’s 5G Advanced Network Solutions at an accelerating pace. Enterprise customers continued to embrace T-Mobile for its reliability and innovation. T-Mobile for Business built relationships with businesses of all sizes that want a connectivity provider with a great network, great value, and excellent service. For example, the largest oil and gas company in the U.S. selected the Un-carrier to power its innovation lab with Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) and equip its mobile workforce with phones and tablets. Delta Air Lines named T-Mobile its preferred wireless provider, and we deployed a 5G hybrid network at its Atlanta headquarters to enhance operations. Multi-site retail and education emerged as key areas of growth. Major brands such as Tractor Supply, REI, and Spirit Halloween turned to T-Mobile to enhance operations with high-speed connectivity across their locations. Some of the largest school districts in the country, including Houston Independent School District, partnered with T-Mobile to address critical connectivity challenges for students and staff. We continued delivering innovative solutions through strategic partnerships. T-Mobile for Business collaborated with innovative companies to develop industry-leading-technology and solutions for real-world business challenges. Partnerships with PGA of America, Las Vegas Grand Prix, SailGP, and Major League Baseball have resulted in significant advancements in 5G private networks, network slicing, and more. We delivered the first 5G private network in golf for PGA of America, enabling operational efficiencies and delivering immersive broadcast viewing experiences. MLB leveraged T-Mobile 5G to power its Automatic Balls and Strikes technology, and Las Vegas Grand Prix utilized 5G network slicing to enhance event operations by enabling seamless point- of-sale and ticketing transactions, ensuring fans could enter the event and make purchases without delays. Our enterprise business continued evolving beyond being just a value leader into a trusted partner, solving complex connectivity challenges and tailoring advanced technology solutions to meet businesses’ needs. As demand for secure and reliable connectivity continues to rise, T-Mobile is well-positioned to drive the next wave of growth for businesses of every kind. powering business success with 5G innovation Callie Field President, Business Group 14 BUSINESS | 15 Extending Network Leadership We are committed to defending and extending our multi-year network leadership by leveraging best- in-class spectrum, network assets, and a customer- first approach. Our Customer-Driven Coverage strategy is central to our growth, allowing us to rethink network deployment to deliver the best customer experiences. We’ll continue to build on our leading 5G assets to provide unmatched network performance, including pioneering the first broad deployment of 5G Advanced in the U.S. Additionally, we announced collaborations with NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia to invest in an industry-first AI-RAN Innovation Center to advance the integration of AI and radio access network (RAN) technologies. Transformative Customer Experiences We are deploying a deeply data-informed, AI- enabled, and digital-first strategy to enhance customer interactions at scale. By leveraging AI and customer data across network, billing, and service interactions, we can curate personalized experiences, prevent issues, and automate solutions — with a goal of reducing calls per account by 75%. Our digital transformation includes T-Life and AI- powered journeys designed to empower and connect customers. By meeting our goal to enable 100% of upgrades and the majority of new activations digitally, we will allow retail teams to focus on higher- value engagements. Additionally, we announced a collaboration with OpenAI to develop IntentCX, the first AI-driven intent decisioning platform, which will further revolutionize customer experiences. Profitable Share Taking We shared a proven strategy for consistently and profitably expanding our wireless market share in underpenetrated segments while deepening customer relationships. In SMRA and the Top 100 Markets, we are leveraging our high share of switchers and strong Net Promoter Score to drive sustained growth, particularly among “network seekers” and markets where we are the third-largest provider. Additionally, our T-Mobile for Business group has achieved double-digit service revenue growth since 2020, and we will continue expanding its momentum by offering comprehensive solutions beyond SIM cards, reinforcing our leadership in both network and business services. Leading Broadband Growth Our broadband strategy provides a strong foundation for continued expansion. We are scaling our Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) go-to-market approach to reach 12 million customers by the end of 2028. Beyond FWA, we are augmenting our broadband offerings with fiber, aiming to reach 12 to 15 million or more households passed by the end of 2030. Fiber presents an accretive and complementary opportunity, allowing us to deliver connectivity to even more Americans. Our approach leverages our significant investments in brand, distribution, and customer relationships — allowing deeper and more profitable market penetration than infrastructure builders alone while also achieving higher returns than traditional investors. Growing New Businesses We will leverage our unique scale, customer relationships, broad distribution, strong brand affinity, and 5G leadership to expand into strategic adjacencies to meet evolving customer needs. Our growing revenue streams include T-Mobile Advertising Solutions (which has already become a billion-dollar business), 5G ANS, and Direct to Cell. At Capital Markets Day, we also announced our newest solution, T-Priority — a service for emergency personnel and first responder agencies. the next era of profitable growth leadership At Capital Markets Day in September 2024, T-Mobile unveiled its ambitious three-year plan, outlining a clear and compelling strategy to drive long-term growth and value for customers and stockholders.

In 2024, through the T-Mobile Foundation, we donated $37.3 million to support nonprofits nationwide. Our employees were empowered to contribute $2.5 million in donations and volunteer 88,000 hours across 14,900 nonprofits. And, during Magenta Giving Month, we reinforced our commitment to employee-driven philanthropy, encouraging our employees to volunteer, donate, and make a meaningful impact in their communities. As the Un-carrier, we won’t stop making a positive impact in the communities where we live & work. Digital access remains a priority for us, which is why we continued to leverage our transformational 5G network, resources, and scale to help bridge the digital divide. Through our flagship philanthropic program, Project 10Million, launched in 2020, T-Mobile offers free internet and mobile hotspots to K-12 student families and schools. By the end of 2024, T-Mobile connected over 6.3 million students nationwide and provided over $7.3 billion in in-kind products and services to eligible student families. We enhanced the program in 2024 by doubling the data allowance for eligible participants to 200GB per year for five years, introducing a discounted data pass extension, and offering additional free data to schools with the greatest needs. We also partnered with the after-school organization Boys & Girls Clubs of America, to expand connectivity access to young learners.

Item 1. Business Business Overview and Strategy Un-carrier Strategy e As America’s supercharged Un-carrier, we have disrupt r ed the wireless communications services industry by actively engaging with and listening to our customers and focusing on eliminating their pain points. Our customers benefit from what we believe is an unmatched combination of value and network quality, unwavering focus on offe f ring them the best possible service experience and undisputable drive for disrupt r ive innovation in wireless and beyond. This includes providing added value and what we believe is an exceptional experience while implementing signature Un-carrier initiatives that have changed the wireless industry. We ended annual service contracts, overages, unpredictabl a e international roaming fees and data buckets, among other things. We are inspired by a relentless focus on customer experience, consistently delivering award-winning customer experience, which drives our customer satisfaction levels while enabling operational effi f ciencies. With what we believe is America’s largest, fastest, most awarded and most advanced 5G network, the Un-carrier strives to offe f r customers unrivaled coverage and capacity where they live, work and travel. We believe our network is the foundation of our success and powers everything we do. Our dense and multi-layer network provides an unmatched 5G and overall network experience to our customers, which consists of our foundational layer of low-band, our mid-band and our millimeter-wave (“mmWave”) spectrum r licenses (see “Spectrum Position” below). This multilayer portfol f io of spectrum broadens and deepens our nationwide 5G network, enabling accelerated innovation and increased competition in the U.S. wireless and broadband industries. We continue to expand the footpr t int and improve the quality of our network, enabling us to provide what we believe are outstanding wireless experiences for customers who should not have to compromise on quality and value. Our network allows us to deliver new, innovative products and services, such as our High Speed Internet fixed wireless product, with the same customer experience focus and industry-disrupt r ing mindset that we have adopted in our attempt to redefine the wireless communications services industry in the United States in the customers’ favor. As part of our relentless, customer-first focus, we are transfor f ming into an AI-enabl a ed, data-infor f med, digital-first organization to continue delivering differentiated experiences to our customers. Leveraging the latest AI technology and digital capabilities, we are pioneering new approaches to serving customers with a platform to better anticipate and proactively solve their issues, offe f ring personalized self-s f ervice options and taking authorized actions on their behalf, while simultaneously creating large- format customer experience stores for customers looking for an immersive experience, and increasing investment in domestic customer care. Our comprehensive T-Life app will further allow us to tap a into customer prefer f ences and radically simplify customer experiences in the future. Our Operations As of December 31, 2024, we provide wireless communications services to 129.5 million postpaid and prepaid customers and generate revenue by providing affo f rdable wireless communications services to these customers, as well as a wide selection of wireless devices and accessories. We also provide wholesale wireless services to various partners, who then offe f r the services for sale to their customers. Our most significant expenses relate to operating and expanding our network, providing a full range of devices, acquiring and retaining high-quality customers and compensating employees. We provide services, devices and accessories across our flagship brands, T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile and Mint Mobile, through our T-Mobile and Metro by T- Mobile owned and operated retail stores, as well as through our websites (www.t-mobile.com, www.metrobyt-mobile.com and www.mintmobile.com), T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile and Mint Mobile apps, customer care channels and through national retailers. In addition, we sell devices to dealers and other third-party distributors for resale through independent third-party retail outlets and a variety of third-party websites. The information on our websites is not part of this Form 10-K. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information. Services and Productst We provide wireless communications services through a variety of service plan options. We also offe f r for sale to customers a wide selection of wireless devices, including smartphones, wearables, tabl a ets, home broadband routers and other mobile communication devices that are manufact f ur t ed by various suppliers. 5 Our most popular service plan offe f ring is Go5G Plus, which includes unlimited talk, text and data on our network, 5G access at no extra cost, scam protection featur t es, access to the same device offe f rs as new customers and more. We also offe f r an Essentials rate plan for customers who want the basics at a lower price point, specific rate plans to qualifyi f ng customers, including Military and Veterans, First Responder and 55+, as well as Go5G and Go5G Next plans to deliver a full suite of plans that provide customers the featur t es that meet their lifestyle and daily needs. At the time of device purchase, qualifie f d customers can finance all or a portion of the individual device or accessory purchase price over an installment period, generally of 24 months, using an equipment installment plan (“EIP”). In addition to our wireless communications services, we offe f r High Speed Internet, which includes a fixed wireless product that utilizes the excess capacity of our nationwide 5G network. Our fixed wireless product is availabl a e to tens of millions of domestic households where we currently have excess network capacity, providing, for some consumers, an alternative to traditional landline internet or broadband service providers and expanding access to and choice for some consumers. With our High Speed Internet plan, customers can access the internet without worrying about annual service contracts, data overages or hidden fees. We also provide products and services that are complementary to our wireless communications services, including device protection, financial services and advertising. Customersr We provide wireless communications services to a variety of customers needing connectivity, but focus primarily on two categories of customers: • Postpaid customers generally are qualifie f d to pay afte f r receiving wireless communications services utilizing phones, High Speed Internet modems, mobile internet devices (including tabl a ets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and internet of things (“IoT”)). We serve consumers as well as business customers, who are provided services under the T-Mobile for Business brand. • Prepaid customers generally pay for wireless communications services in advance. We serve prepaid customers under the T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile brands. We provide Machine-to-Machine (“M2M”) and Mobile Virtua t l Network Operator (“MVNO”) customers access to our network. This access and the customer relationship are managed by wholesale partners, with whom we have commercial agreements permitting them to sell services utilizing our network. We generate the majo a rity of our service revenues by providing wireless communications services to postpaid and prepaid customers. Our ability to attract and retain postpaid and prepaid customers is important to our business in the generation of service revenues, equipment revenues and other revenues. In 2024, our service revenues generated by providing wireless communications services by customer category were: • 79% Postpa t id customers; • 16% Prepaid customers; and • 5% Wholesale and other services. Substantially all of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, were earned in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Network Strategy e Utilizing our multilayer spectrum r portfol f io, our mission is to become “Famous for Network.” We have deployed low-band, mid-band and mmWave spectrum r dedicated for 5G across our dense and broad network to create what we believe is America’s largest, fastest, most awarded and most advanced 5G network. We believe our spectrum r position and focus on technology leadership will continue to drive network differentiation. Our innovative Customer-Driven Coverage (“CDC”) approach to network investments, and leadership in deploying the latest network technologies including Massive Multiple-input/mu t ltiple-out (“Massive MIMO”), Voice over New Radio (“VoNR”), four-carrier and higher order aggregation, dynamic network slicing and the U.S.’s first broad deployment of 5G Advanced, are 6 enabled by our scaled nationwide 5G standalone network. We are also part of an alliance working to bring Radio Access Network (“RAN”) and AI innovation closer together to deliver transfor f mational network experiences in the future. Spectrum Position We provide wireless communications services utilizing low-band spectrum licenses covering our 600 MHz and 700 MHz spectrum, mid-band spectrum r licenses, such as Advanced Wireless Services (“AWS”), Personal Communications Services (“PCS”) and 2.5 GHz spectrum r , and mmWave spectrum. • We controlled an average of 394 MHz of combined low- and mid-band spectrum r nationwide as of December 31, 2024. This spectrum r is comprised of: • An average of 41 MHz in the 600 MHz band; • An average of 10 MHz in the 700 MHz band; • An average of 14 MHz in the 800 MHz band; • An average of 41 MHz in the 1700 MHz AWS band; • An average of 66 MHz in the 1900 MHz PCS band; • An average of 184 MHz in the 2.5 GHz band; • An average of 11 MHz in the 3.45 GHz band; and • An average of 27 MHz in the C-band. • We controlled an average of 1,033 GHz of combined mmWave spectrum r licenses. • In September 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with Comcast Corporation and its affi f liate, Comcast OTR1, LLC (together with Comcast Corporation, “Comcast”) pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum r in the 600 MHz band in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion. On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum r . Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion. See Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. • We plan to evaluate future spectrum r purchases in future auctions and secondary market opportunities to further augment or refine our current spectrum position. • As of December 31, 2024, we had equipment deployed on approximately 82,000 macro cell sites and 52,000 small cell/distributed antenna system sites across our network. Competition The wireless communications services industry remains competitive. We are the second largest provider of wireless communications services in the U.S. as measured by our total postpaid and prepaid customers. Our wireless communications services competitors include other carriers, such as AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”), Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”), and DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) as it continues to grow its network. In addition, our competitors include numerous smaller and regional providers, including Comcast Corporation, Charter Communications, Inc., Cox Communications, Inc., and Altice USA, Inc., many of which offe f r no-contract, postpaid and prepaid service plans. Competitors also include providers who offe f r similar communication services, such as voice, messaging and data services, using alternative technologies. In addition to our wireless communications services, our High Speed Internet service competes against other broadband providers, including traditional wireline solutions, such as Cabl a e, DSL and Fiber broadband providers, and fixed wireless solutions, including AT&T and Verizon’s fixed wireless products, and Satellite Internet providers. Competitive factors within the wireless communications services and broadband industries include pricing, market saturation, service and product offe f rings, customer experience, network investment and quality, development and deployment of technologies and regulatory changes. Some of our competitors have shown a willingness to use discounted pricing or offe f r bundled services as a potential source of differentiation. Human Capital Empl m oyees As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 70,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions. 7 Attraction and Retention We employ a highly skilled workforce within a broad range of functions. Substantially all of our employees are located throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico, to serve our nationwide network and retail operations. Our headquarters are located in Bellevue, Washington, and Overland Park, Kansas. We attract and retain our workforce through a dynamic and inclusive culture and by providing a comprehensive set of benefits, including: • Competitive medical, dental and vision benefits; • Family-building benefits designed to meet the diverse needs of our employees, including IVF and IUI, adoption and surrogacy benefits; • Annual stock grants to all full-time and part-time employees and a discounted Employee Stock Purchase Program; • A 401(k) Savings Plan; • Nationwide minimum pay of at least $20 per hour to all full-time and part-time employees; • LiveMagenta: a custom-branded program for employee engagement and well-being, including free access to life coaches, financial coaches and tools for healthy living; • Access to personal health advocates offe f ring independent guidance; • A generous paid time offf program, including paid family leave; • Tuition assistance for all full-time and part-time employees, including full tuition partnerships with multiple schools; and • A matching program for employee donations and volunteering. Training and Developm o ent Career growth and development is foundational to T-Mobile’s culture and success. We want to deliver the best experiences from the best teams, and one way we do that is by offe f ring an array of development programs and resources to build diverse talent and empower our people to succeed through every step of their career. We put employees in the driver’s seat and give them access to mentoring, training, videos, books, job search and interview tips, and much more. By strategically investing in the following three key areas of career development and learning, we are developing our talent now and for the future. • Evolve skills and careers – Learn every day, champion relentless improvement, develop critical skills, explore career possibilities, and build the desired career; • Advance leadership expertise – Build critical leadership capa a bi a lities, enable leadership growth at all levels, and develop skills to lead in the future; and • Champion belonging and inclusion – Promote inclusive habi a ts and behaviors and enhance belonging and connectedness. Belonging and Inclusion Our diversity, equity and inclusion effo f rts are focused on fostering a workpl k ace that helps us better serve our customers and communities across the nation. We aim to create an environment where employees feel included, valued and empowered, contributing to a stronger, more connected business. T-Mobile has an inclusive hiring process that seeks diverse talent to be candidates for employment, but all of our hiring decisions continue to be based solely on merit. Empl m oyee Resource Groups u (ERG E s) Many of our employees participate in one of six Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and their sub-groups, which are instrumental in promoting connection. Each of these groups is open to any and all employees, and there are 38 chapters nationwide that organize volunteer opportunities and local events. 8 Our ERGs include: • Veterans & Allies Network; • Accessibility Community at T-Mobile; • Multicultural Alliance; • Asia Pacific & Allies Network; • Black Empowerment Network; • Indigenous Peoples Network; • Eleva Network (focused on the Latino community and allies); • Multigenerational Network; • Pride; and • Women & Allies Network. These groups offe f r immersive experiences, mentorship programs, networking opportunities, and community service projects. They are designed to help participants grow as profes f sionals and community leaders. External Diversi r ty Councils In partnership with civil rights organizations, we had previously establ a ished two External Diversity and Inclusion Councils. These councils offe f red guidance for our effo f rts in areas like workforce recrui r tment, procurement, community investment, and corporate governance. The work with these external councils concluded as planned afte f r a successful f 5-year collabor a ation and the councils have been dissolved. Suppl p iers T-Mobile considers a broad range of suppliers, including those that are veteran-owned, disabi a lity-owned, woman-owned, minority-owned, and LGBT-owned, and we include small and large businesses of all kinds in our procurement processes. Purchases and contracts are awarded based on the best qualified and most competitive suppliers to enable T-Mobile’s success. Environmental Sustainability Effi f ciencies and Reducing Our Carbon Footpr t int We are actively working to identify f effi f ciencies in our energy usage and reduce our environmental impact by: • Pursuing a science-based net-zero emissions target for 2040, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions; • Investing in renewabl a e energy, meeting our RE100 pledge since 2021, through initiatives such as Virtua t l Power Purchasing Agreements and clean energy projects producing over 3.4 million megawatt hours annually; • Enhancing energy effi f ciency in our facilities, including retail stores, data centers, and cell sites; and • Promoting a circular economy through a robust device reuse and recycling program. Responsible Sourcing We believe our suppliers are a valuable extension of our business and corporate values. Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines expectations around ethical business practices for our suppliers. We require our suppliers to operate in compliance with the laws, rules, regulations and ethical standards of the countries in which they operate or provide products or services. We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical conduct and environmentally responsible business practices while they conduct business with or on behalf of us. Our Responsible Sourcing Policy further outlines T-Mobile’s expectations in this area. We employ a third-party risk management (“TPRM”) process to screen for anti-corruption, global sanctions, human rights and environmental risks before engaging with a supplier. Our TPRM process also continuously monitors current suppliers for policy violations and risks. 9 Regulation The FCC regulates many key aspects of our business, including licensing, construc r tion, the operation and use of our network, modifications of our network, control and ownership of our licenses and authorizations, the sale, transfer f and acquisition of certain licenses, domestic roaming arrangements and interconnection agreements, pursuant to its authority under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (“Communications Act”). The FCC has a number of complex requirements that affe f ct our operations and pending proceedings regarding additional or modified requirements that could increase our costs or diminish our revenues. For example, the FCC has rules regarding provision of 911, 988 and E-911 services, porting telephone numbers, interconnection, roaming, internet openness or net neutrality, robocalling/robotexting, disabi a lities access, privacy and cybersecurity, digital discrimination, consumer protection and the universal service and Lifeline programs. Many of these and other issues are being considered in ongoing proceedings, and we cannot predict whether or how such actions will affe f ct our business, financial condition or operating results. Our ability to provide services and generate revenues could be harmed by adverse regulatory action or changes to existing laws and regulations. In addition, regulation of companies that offe f r competing services can impact our business indirectly. Except for operations in certain unlicensed frequency bands, wireless communications services providers generally must be licensed by the FCC to provide communications services at specified spectrum frequencies within specified geographic areas and must comply with the rules and policies governing the use of the spectrum as adopted by the FCC. The FCC issues each license for a fixed period of time, typically 10-15 years depending on the particular licenses. While the FCC has generally renewed licenses given to operating companies like us, the FCC has authority both to revoke a license for cause and to deny a license renewal if a renewal is not in the public interest. Furthermore, we could be subject to fines, forfeitures and other penalties for failure to comply with FCC regulations, even if any such noncompliance was unintentional. In extreme cases, penalties can include revocation of our licenses. The loss of any licenses, or any related fines or forfeitures, could adversely affe f ct our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the FCC retains the right to modify rules related to use of licensed spectrum r , which could impact T-Mobile’s ability to provide services. Additionally, Congress’s and the FCC’s allocation of additional spectrum for broadband commercial mobile radio service (“CMRS”), which includes cellular, PCS and other wireless services, could significantly increase and intensify f competition. We cannot assess the impact that any developments that may occur in the U.S. economy or any future spectrum allocations by the FCC may have on license values. FCC spectrum auctions and other market developments may adversely affe f ct the market value of our licenses or our competitive position in the future. A significant decline in the value of our licenses could adversely affe f ct our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the FCC periodically reviews its policies on how to evaluate carriers’ spectrum holdings in the context of spectrum transactions or acquisitions. Most recently, for example, in September 2023, the FCC sought public comment on whether it should initiate a rulemaking proceeding to consider changes to its mobile spectrum rules and policies. A change in these rules and policies could affe f ct our access to additional spectrum resources and competition among us and other carriers. Congress and the FCC have imposed limitations on foreign ownership of CMRS licensees. Direct foreign ownership in the licensee of more than 20% is prohibited. Indirect foreign ownership of more than 25% through an entity controlling the licensee must be reviewed and approved by the FCC as not inconsistent with the public interest. Consistent with that establ a ished policy, the FCC has issued a declaratory ruling authorizing up to 100% ownership of our Company by DT. For our Educational Broadband Service (“EBS”) licenses in the 2.5 GHz band, FCC rules previously limited eligibility to hold EBS licenses to accredited educational institutions and certain governmental, religious and nonprofit f entities, while permitting those license holders to lease their licenses to commercial providers for non-educational purpos r es. Therefor f e, we have historically accessed EBS spectrum r primarily through long-term leasing arrangements with EBS license holders. Our EBS spectrum leases typically have an initial term equal to the remaining term of the EBS license, with an option to renew the lease for additional terms, for a total lease term of up to 30 years. In April 2020, the FCC lifte f d the restriction on who can hold EBS licenses and the 30-year limitation on lease duration, among other changes. The elimination of these restrictions allows current license holders to sell their licenses, including to T-Mobile. While a majo a rity of our leases have contractua t l provisions enabling us to match offe f rs, we may be forced to compete with others to purchase 2.5 GHz licenses on the secondary market and expend additional capital earlier than we may have anticipated. T-Mobile has started to acquire some of these EBS licenses, but we continue to lease spectrum r in this band and expect that to be the case for some time. While the Communications Act generally preempts state and local governments from regulating the entry of, or the rates charged by, wireless communications services providers, certain state and local governments regulate other terms and conditions of wireless service, including billing, termination of service arrangements and the imposition of early termination fees, advertising, network outages, the use of devices while driving, service mappi a ng, protection of consumer information, zoning and land use. Notwithstanding this federal preemption, several states are considering or have passed laws or regulations 10 that could potentially set prices, minimum performance standards and/or restrictions on service discontinuation that could impact our business in those states. For example, following the FCC’s adoption of the 2017 Restoring Internet Freedom (“RIF”) Order reclassifying broadband internet access services as non-common carrier “infor f mation services,” a number of states sought to impose state-specific f net neutrality, rate-setting, and privacy requirements on providers’ broadband services. The FCC’s RIF Order expressly preempted such state effo f rts, which were inconsistent with the FCC’s federal deregulatory approach at that time. In 2019, however, the DC Circuit issued a ruling largely upholding the RIF Order but also vacating the portion of the ruling broadly preempting state/local measures regulating broadband services. The court left open the prospect that particular state laws could still unlawfully confli f ct with the FCC’s RIF Order and be preempted. In the meantime, the FCC sought to repeal the RIF Order through its adoption of the 2024 Open Internet Order, though the latter was struck down by a federal court of appeals in January 2025. While most states pursuing net neutrality legislation sought to codify the federal rules repealed by the RIF Order, there are differences in some states. For example, Califor f nia has passed separate privacy and net neutrality legislation, while many others have passed privacy laws, and New York has passed a broadband rate-setting law. There are also effo f rts within Congress to pass federal legislation to codify uniform federal privacy and net neutrality requirements. Ensuring the preemption of separate state requirements, including the Califor f nia laws, is critical to this effo f rt. If not preempted or rescinded, separate state requirements will impose significant business costs and could also result in increased litigation costs and enforcement risks. A number of states also subject wireless service providers to registration requirements. State authority over wireless broadband services will likely remain unsettled unless resolved by the courts, the FCC or Congress. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and other federal agencies have jurisdiction over some consumer protection matters and the elimination and prevention of anticompetitive business practices with respect to the provision of non-common carrier services. Further, the FCC and the Federal Aviation Administration regulate the siting, lighting and construc r tion of transmitter towers and antennae. Tower siting and construc r tion are also subject to state and local zoning, as well as federal statut t es regarding environmental and historic preservation. The future costs to comply with all relevant regulations are, to some extent, unknown, and changes to regulations, or the applicability of regulations, could result in higher operating and capi a tal expenses, or reduced revenues in the future.

Risk Factors In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered careful f ly in evaluating T-Mobile. Our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results, as well as the price of our common stock and other securities, could be materially and adversely affe f cted by any of these risks. Risks Related to Our Business We operate in a highly competitive industry. If we are unable to attract and retain customers, our business, financial condition, and operating results would be negatively affe f cted. The wireless communications services industry is highly competitive. As the industry reaches saturation, competition in all market segments, including prepaid, postpaid, enterprise and government customers will likely further intensify, f putting pressure on pricing and/or margins for us and all our competitors. Our ability to attract and retain customers will depend on multiple factors, such as network quality and capacity, customer service excellence, effe f ctive marketing strategies, competitive pricing, compelling value propositions, and distribution and logistics capabilities. Additionally, targeted marketing approaches for diverse customer segments, coupled with continuous innovation in products and services, are essential for retaining and 11 expanding our customer base. If we are unabl a e to successful f ly differentiate our services from our competitors, it would adversely affe f ct our competitive position and ability to grow our business. We have seen and expect to continue to see intense competition in all market segments from traditional Mobile Network Operators (“MNOs”), such as AT&T and Verizon, who have each invested heavily in spectrum, their wireless networks, and services and device promotions, and DISH, as it continues to build out its wireless network and roll out services. Numerous other regional MNOs and MVNOs offe f ring wireless services may also compete with us in some markets, including cable providers, such as Comcast, Charter, Cox, and Altice, as they continue to diversify f their offe f rings to include wireless services offe f red under MVNO agreements. As new products and services emerge, we may also be forced to compete against non- traditional competitors from outside of the wireless communications services industry, such as satellite providers, offe f ring similar connectivity services using alternative technologies. In the market for broadband services, traditional cabl a e providers, AT&T, Verizon, and other players such as satellite and fiber providers, all compete for customers. To complement our fixed wireless service, we have agreed to enter into joint ventur t e agreements aimed at establ a ishing a robust fiber wireline network in certain geographic regions that we believe will complement our fixed wireless services in those areas. However, these partnerships also involve inherent risks. See “Any acquisition, divestiture, investment, joint venture or merger may a subject us to signi i fic i ant risks, k any of which may a harm our business” for further discussions of such risks. If we are unabl a e to compete effe f ctively in attracting and retaining customers in markets where we operate, it could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and operating results. We have experienced criminal cyberattacks and may experience disruption, data loss and other security breaches, whether directly or indirectly through third parties whose products and services we rely on in operating our business. Our business involves the receipt, storage, and transmission of confid f ential information about our customers, such as sensitive personal, account and payment information, confid f ential information about our employees and suppliers, and other sensitive information about our Company, such as our business plans, transactions, financial information, and intellectua t l property (collectively, “Confid f ential Information”). Additionally, to offe f r services to our customers and operate our business, we utilize several applications and systems, including those we own and operate, such as our wireless network, as well as others provided to us by third parties, such as cloud service providers and SaaS companies (collectively, “Systems”). We are subject to persistent cyberattacks and threats to our business from bad actors seeking to gain unauthorized access to Confid f ential Information and compromise Systems to undermine availabi a lity or integrity. They are perpetrated by a variety of groups and persons, including nation state-sponsored parties, malicious actors, employees, contractors, or other unrelated third parties. Some actors reside in jurisdictions where law enforcement measures to address such attacks are ineffe f ctive or unavailabl a e. Cyberattacks against companies like ours are increasing in frequency and scope of potential harm over time, and the methods used to gain unauthorized access constantly evolve, making it increasingly difficult to anticipate, prevent, and detect incidents successful f ly in every instance. In some cases, these bad actors exploit bugs, errors, misconfig f urations or other vulnerabi a lities in our Systems to obtain Confid f ential Information. In other cases, these bad actors obtain unauthorized access to Confid f ential Information by exploiting insider access or utilizing log in credentials taken from our customers, employees, or third-party providers through credential harvesting, social engineering or other means. Other bad actors aim to cause serious operational disrupt r ions to our business and Systems through ransomware or distributed denial of services attacks. Although we regularly work to identify, f track and remedy any security vulnerabi a lities, given the complex nature of our Systems and the tools that are available to us, we may be unabl a e to identify vulnerabi a lities in a timely manner, or to apply patches or compensating measures that address such vulnerabi a lities, before bad actors can exploit them. The exploitation of a security vulnerabi a lity before patches or measures are applied could materially compromise Confid f ential Information and Systems. In addition, we routinely rely upon third-party providers whose products and services are used in our business. These third- party providers have experienced, and will continue to experience cyberattacks that involve attempts to expose our Confid f ential Information and/or to create operational risk that could materially and adversely affe f ct our business, and these providers also face other security challenges common to all parties that collect and process information. Additionally, our Systems include components from third parties or fourth parties we do not control and may have compromises, defects, flaws, or design errors unknown to us. 12 As a result of the previously disclosed cyberattacks in August 2021 and January 2023, we incurred significant costs in connection with, among other things, responding to and resolving mass arbi r tration claims, multiple class action lawsuits and an FCC investigation. For more information on the foregoing, see “– Contingencies and Litigation – Litigation and Regulatory Matters” in Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the August 2021 cyberattack and the January 2023 cyberattack, we have experienced unrelated non-material incidents involving unauthorized access to certain Confid f ential Information and Systems. Typically, these incidents have involved attempts to commit fraud by taking control of a customer’s phone line, ofte f n by exploiting insider access or using compromised credentials. In other cases, the incidents have involved unauthorized access to certain of our customers’ private information, including payment information, financial data, social security numbers or passwords, and our intellectua t l property. Some of these incidents have occurred at third-party providers, including third parties who provide us with various Systems and others who sell our products and services through retail locations or take care of our customers. In November 2024, it was publicly reported that a nation-state actor called “Salt Typhoon” successful f ly infiltrated the telecommunications networks of certain of our competitors to obtain information on their customers. While we have no evidence that any of our Systems or Confid f ential Information were impacted in any significant way, we may face similar attempts in the future. Our procedures and safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to Confid f ential Information and to defend against cyberattacks seeking to disrupt r our operations must be continually evaluated and enhanced to address the ever-evolving threat landscape and changing cybersecurity regulations, including while we adapt complex digital transfor f mation effo f rts. These preventative actions require the investment of significant resources and management time and attention. Additionally, we do not have control of the cybersecurity systems, breach prevention, and response protocols of our third-party providers, including through our cybersecurity programs or policies. While T-Mobile may have contractua t l rights to assess the effe f ctiveness of many of our providers’ systems and protocols, we do not have the means to always know or assess the effe f ctiveness of all of our providers’ systems and controls. We cannot provide any assurances that actions taken by us, or our third-party providers, including through our cybersecurity programs or policies, will adequately repel a significant cyberattack or prevent or substantially mitigate the impacts of cybersecurity breaches or misuses of Confid f ential Information, unauthorized access to our networks or Systems or exploits against third-party environments, or that we, or our third-party providers, will be able to effe f ctively identify, f investigate, and remediate such incidents in a timely manner or at all. We expect to continue to be the target of cyberattacks, given the nature of our business, and we expect the same with respect to our third-party providers. We also expect that threat actors will continue to gain sophistication including in the use of tools and techniques (such as AI) that are specifically designed to circumvent security controls, evade detection, and obfus f cate forensic evidence, making it more challenging for us to identify, investigate and recover from future cyberattacks in a timely and effe f ctive manner. In addition, we have acquired and continue to acquire companies with cybersecurity vulnerabi a lities or unsophisticated security measures, which exposes us to significant cybersecurity, operational, and financial risks. If we fail to protect Confid f ential Information or to prevent operational disrupt r ions from future cyberattacks, there may be a material adverse effe f ct on our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows, and operating results. If we fail to timely adopt and effe f ctively deploy emerging network technologies, our competitive position could erode, which may adversely affe f ct our business, financial condition, and operating results. Our competitive advantage and reputation depend on our ability to provide industry-leading network coverage, speed, and reliabi a lity. While we have establ a ished a leadership position in 5G, the communications industry evolves rapi a dly, and emerging technologies – such as AI-driven Radio Access Networks (“AI-RAN”) and the potential transition to 6G – may redefine network standards and increase customer expectations. To stay ahead, we are investing in strategic collabor a ations with third parties, such as AI-RAN partnerships, to develop technologies that are intended to advance our network capabilities. Despite these effo f rts, we may encounter technical challenges, regulatory hurdles, supply chain constraints, or unexpected delays in developing and deploying new network technologies. If we fail to anticipate market trends, effi f ciently integrate innovative solutions into our network, or maintain the quality and reliabi a lity of our network, our market share and competitive standing could erode, adversely impacting our business and operating results. If we fail to effe f ctively execute our digital transfor f mation and drive customer and employee adoption of emerging technologies, our competitive position and financial perfor f mance could be materially harmed. We are engaged in complex digital transfor f mation effo f rts intended to streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and improve our overall competitiveness. These initiatives involve integrating emerging and rapi a dly evolving technologies, reconfig f uring internal processes, and implementing advanced data analytics and AI-driven tools, including those developed through our partnerships with a number of third-party providers. The successful f execution of our planned transfor f mation is 13 subject to significant uncertainties. For example, we may face challenges in harmonizing complex system architectur t es, integrating new platforms with legacy infrastructur t e, and managing large volumes of data from disparate sources. We must also maintain rigorous data security and privacy safeguards, ensure our AI-driven solutions comply with evolving regulatory standards, and mitigate potential issues such as algorithmic bias or unintended operational disrupt r ions. Additionally, implementing these digital solutions ofte f n requires substantial capi a tal and operational expenditures, extensive employee training, specialized skill sets that may be difficult to source, and close coordination with multiple third-party vendors and partners. If we fail to execute these initiatives effe f ctively, our ability to realize the intended benefits of digital transfor f mation may be compromised. Even if we successful f ly deploy these capa a bi a lities, customer adoption and employee acceptance may be slower than anticipated, diminishing the expected improvements to effi f ciency, service quality, or revenue generation. This could materially and adversely affe f ct our competitive position, financial performance, and brand reputation. We rely on highly skilled personnel throughout all levels of our business. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel, hire a suffic f ient number of qualifie f d new personnel, or maintain our corporate culture. Our future success depends in substantial part on our ability to attract, recrui r t, hire, motivate, develop, and retain talented personnel possessing the qualific f ations, experiences, capa a bi a lities and skills we need for all areas of our organization, including our CEO and members of our senior leadership team. Succession planning to ensure effe f ctive transfer f of knowledge and a seamless transition when key personnel depart is also important to our long-term success. Additionally, as we continue to make significant investments in new technologies and new business areas, we are increasingly dependent on being able to hire and retain technically skilled employees, including those with expertise in AI and machine learning. Both external factors, such as fluctuations in economic and industry conditions, changes in U.S. immigration policies, regulatory changes, political forces and the competitive landscape, and internal factors, such as employee tolerance for changes in our corporate culture, organizational changes, limited remote working opportunities, and our compensation programs, may impact our ability to effe f ctively manage our workforce. Further, employee compensation and benefit costs may increase due to inflationary pressures, and if our compensation does not keep up with inflation or that of our competitors’, we may see increased employee dissatisfaction and departur t es or difficulty in recrui r ting new employees. If key employees depart or we are unabl a e to recrui r t and integrate new employees successful f ly, our business could be negatively impacted. System failures and business disruptions may prevent us from providing reliable service, which could materially and adversely affe f ct our reputation and financial condition. We rely upon systems and networks – those of third-party suppliers and other providers, in addition to our own – to provide services to our customers. System, network, or infrastructur t e failures resulting from one of several potential causes may prevent us from providing reliabl a e service or otherwise operate our business. Examples of these risks include: • physical damage, power surges or outages, equipment failure, or other service disrupt r ions with respect to both our wireless and wireline networks, including those resulting from severe weather, storms, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires and other natural disasters, which may occur more frequently or with greater intensity as a result of global climate change, public health crises, terrorist attacks, political instability and volatility and acts of war; • human error due to factors such as poor change management or policy compliance; • risks to our access to and use of reliabl a e energy and water; • hardware or software failures or outages of our business systems or communications network; • supplier failures or delays; and • shifts in physical conditions due to climate change, such as sea-level rise or changes in temperatur t e or precipitation patterns, which may impact the operating conditions of our infrastruc r ture or other infrastructur t e we rely on. Such events could cause us to lose customers and revenue, incur expenses, suffer reputational damage, and subject us to fines, penalties, adverse actions or judgments, litigation, or governmental investigations. Remediation costs could include liabi a lity for information loss, costs of repairing infrastructur t e and systems, and/or costs of incentives offe f red to customers. Our insurance may not cover or may not be adequate to fully reimburse us for costs and losses associated with such events, and such events may also impact the availabi a lity of insurance at costs and other terms we find acceptabl a e for future events. 14 The scarcity and cost of additional wireless spectrum, and regulations relating to spectrum use, may adversely affe f ct our business, financial condition, and operating results. We continue to acquire and deploy new spectrum to expand and deepen our 5G coverage, maintain our quality of service, meet increasing or changing customer demands, and deploy new technologies. In order to expand and differentiate our services from our competitors, we will continue to actively seek to make additional investments in new spectrum, which could be significant. However, we may be unabl a e to secure the additional spectrum necessary to maintain or enhance our competitive position on favorable terms or at all. The continued interest in acquiring spectrum by existing carriers and others, including speculators, may reduce our ability to acquire or renew spectrum r holdings (such as 2.5Ghz), and/or increase the cost of spectrum that is made availabl a e in the secondary markets and government auctions. Additionally, the FCC may be unabl a e to make sufficient additional spectrum r availabl a e for auction to meet the demand from all interested parties. As a result, any such spectrum that is made availabl a e at auction may be subject to heightened competition and priced beyond levels we are able or willing to pay. Even if new spectrum becomes availabl a e to us, the FCC or other government entities may impose conditions on the acquisition and use of such spectrum, such as the config f uration or geographic areas in which the spectrum may be deployed. These conditions may substantially increase the costs we incur or negatively affe f ct the value of the spectrum to our business. If we cannot acquire needed spectrum from the government or otherwise, if competitors acquire spectrum that will allow them to provide services competitive with our services, or if we cannot deploy services over acquired spectrum on a timely basis without burdensome conditions, at reasonabl a e cost, and while maintaining network quality levels, our ability to attract and retain customers and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affe f cted. Any acquisition, divestiture, investment, joint venture or merger may subject us to signific f ant risks, any of which may harm our business. We may pursue acquisitions of, investments in, or joint ventur t es or mergers with, other companies, or the acquisition of technologies, services, products or other assets that we believe would complement or expand our business. We may also elect to divest some of our assets to third parties. Some of these potential transactions could be significant relative to the size of our business and operations. Any such transaction would involve a number of risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including: • diversion of management attention from running our existing business; • increased costs to integrate the networks, spectrum, technology, personnel, customer base, distributors and business partners and business practices of the company involved in any such transaction with our business; • increased interest expense and leverage or limits on other uses of cash; • potential loss of talent during integration due to differences in cultur t e, locations, or other factors; • diffi f culties in effe f ctively integrating the financial, operational and sustainabi a lity systems of the business involved in any such transaction into (or supplanting such systems with) our financial, operational and sustainabi a lity reporting infrastructur t e and internal control framework in an effe f ctive and timely manner; • risks of entering markets in which the Company has no or limited experience and where competitors have stronger market positions; • potential exposure to material liabilities not discovered in the due diligence process or as a result of any litigation arising in connection with any such transaction; • significant transaction-related expenses in connection with any such transaction, whether consummated or not; • risks related to our ability to obtain any required regulatory approvals necessary to consummate any such transaction; and • any business, technology, service, or product involved in any such transaction may significantly under-perform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect from the transaction, which could, among other things, also result in a write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with such transaction. We have entered into joint ventur t e agreements aimed at establ a ishing a robust fiber broadband network that complements our fixed wireless services. Once closed, differences in views among the joint ventur t e participants may result in delayed decisions or disputes. Operating through joint ventur t es in which we do not hold a majo a rity ownership interest results in us having limited control over many decisions made with respect to the businesses of the joint ventur t es. We also cannot control the actions of our joint ventur t e partners. These joint ventur t es may not be subject to the same requirements regarding internal controls and internal 15 control over financial reporting that we follow. As a result, internal control problems may arise with respect to these joint ventur t es. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could also affe f ct our reputation. Additionally, in connection with our merger (the “Merger”) with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) and related transactions, including the acquisition by DISH of certain prepaid wireless business (the “Prepaid Transaction” and, collectively, the “Transactions”), we agreed to fulfill f various government commitments (the “Government Commitments”), including, among others, extensive 5G network build-out, delivering high-speed wireless services to the vast majo a rity of Americans and marketing our in-home fixed wireless product to households where spectrum capacity is sufficient, as well as commitments related to national security, pricing and availabi a lity of rate plans. These Government Commitments materially increased our compliance obligations and could result in additional expenses and/or penalties in the future. In connection with the Prepaid Transaction, we and DISH entered into certain arrangements, including a Master Network Services Agreement (the “MNSA”), pursuant to which we provide DISH, for a period of seven years, network services for certain end users and infrastructur t e mobile network operator services to assist in the access and integration of the DISH network. Any failure to fulfill f our obligations under the Government Commitments and the MNSA in a timely manner could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions, liabi a lities, and reputational harm. Economic, political and market conditions may adversely affe f ct our business, financial condition, and operating results. Our business, financial condition, and operating results are sensitive to changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates, consumer credit conditions, consumer debt levels, consumer confid f ence, unemployment rates, economic growth, energy costs, rates of inflation (or concerns about deflation), supply chain disrupt r ions, impacts of current geopolitical confli f ct or instability, such as the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas wars and further escalations thereof, and other macroeconomic factors. The wireless industry, broadly, is dependent on population growth, as a result, we expect the wireless industry’s customer growth rate to be moderate in comparison with historical growth rates, leading to ongoing competition for customers. In addition, the Government Commitments place certain limitations on our ability to increase prices, which limits our ability to pass along growing costs to customers. Rising prices for goods, services, and labor a due to inflation could adversely impact our margins and/or growth. Our services and device financing plans are availabl a e to a broad customer base, a significant segment of which may be vulnerabl a e to weak economic conditions, particularly our subprime customers. We may have greater difficulty in gaining new customers within this segment, and existing customers may be more likely to terminate service and default on device financing plans due to an inability to pay. Weak economic and credit conditions may also adversely impact our suppliers, dealers, wholesale partners or MVNOs, and enterprise and government customers, some of which may file for bankrupt r cy, or may experience cash flow or liquidity problems, or may be unab a le to obtain or refinance credit such that they may no longer be able to operate. Any of these could adversely impact our ability to distribute, market, or sell our products and services. If we do not successful f ly deliver new products and services, we may not realize our intended growth targets or generate the expected returns from our business, adversely affe f cting our financial condition, and operating results. We continue to expand our offe f rings beyond traditional wireless services to include High Speed Internet (including fiber broadband), advertising technology and services, and specialized network solutions, such as network slicing for first responders (T-Priority) and 5G advanced network solutions (ANS) for enterprises. These new ventur t es require significant capital, expertise, and operational support, and their success depends on factors we cannot fully control or predict. Increased competition, technical challenges, security concerns, operational complexities, or shiftin f g regulatory landscapes could delay product rollouts, inflate costs, or limit adoption rates. Additionally, entering new markets or lines of business may expose us to unfam f iliar regulatory requirements, compliance challenges, or damage existing customer relationships. Should these new products and services fail to gain traction, generate expected returns, or deliver value to customers, we could incur substantial expenses without offs f etting revenue gains, adversely affe f cting our business, financial condition, and operating results. 16 We rely on third parties to provide products and services for the operation of our business, and the failure or inability of such parties to provide these products or services could adversely affe f ct our business, financial condition, and operating results. We have a diverse set of suppliers to help us develop, maintain, and troubleshoot products and services such as wireless and wireline network components, software development services, and billing and customer service support. However, in certain areas such as, billing services, voice, and data communications transport services, wireless or wireline network infrastruc r ture equipment, handsets, other devices, back-office processes and payment processing, there are a limited number of suppliers who can provide adequate support for us, which decreases our flexibility to switch to alternative third parties. Unexpected termination of our arrangement with any of these suppliers or difficulties in renewing our commercial arrangements with them could have a material and adverse effe f ct on our business operations. Our suppliers are also subject to their own risks, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, economic, financial and credit conditions, labor a force disrupt r ions, geopolitical tensions, disrupt r ions in global supply chain and the risks of natural catastrophic events (such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, storms, heatwaves and fires), energy shortages, power outages, equipment failures, terrorist attacks or other hostile acts, and public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which may result in performance below the levels required by their contracts. Our business could be severely disrupt r ed if critical suppliers or service providers fail to comply with their contracts or if we experience delays or service degradation during any transition to a new outsourcing provider or other supplier or if we are required to replace the supplied products or services with those from another source, especially if the replacement becomes necessary on short notice. Any such disrupt r ions could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Further, some of our suppliers may provide services from outside of the United States, which carries additional regulatory and legal obligations. We rely on suppliers to provide us with contractua t l assurances and to disclose accurate information regarding risks associated with their provision of products or services in accordance with our policies and standards, including our Supplier Code of Conduct and our third-party risk management practices. The failure of our suppliers to comply with our expectations and policies could expose us to additional legal and litigation risks and lead to unexpected contract terminations. Additionally, we rely on third-party technology partners on various projects and developments. If any of our third-party technology partners terminate or reduce their relationships with us or suspend, limit, or cease their operations, we may not be able to complete such initiatives or achieve the intended results from the partnerships, and our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations may suffer. Sociopolitical volatility and polarization may adversely affe f ct our business operations and reputation. The current sociopolitical environment is characterized by deep complexity, volatility, and polarization on various social and political issues. The increasing intersection of technology and politics has led to rapi a d and unpredictabl a e shifts f in public sentiment. Social media and digital platforms have amplifie f d the voices of various stakeholders, creating the potential for swiftf change in public opinion and stronger reactions to corporate actions. As a company that sells products and services across the nation to millions of customers, these dynamics increase the risk of potential reputational damage, boycotts, and shifts f in consumer behavior that could adversely affe f ct our brand, sales and profita f bi a lity. Our ability to respond effe f ctively, sensitively, and authentically to the expectations and concerns of our customers, employees, and other stakeholders is key to mitigating these risks. If we are unabl a e to manage these challenges effe f ctively, there may be adverse impacts to our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results. Additionally, we are subject to emerging and evolving regulatory requirements and frameworks regarding environmental, social and governance matters, including potential new or revised disclosure rules proposed by the SEC and recently enacted or proposed legislation in jurisdictions such as Califor f nia. The ultimate scope of these regulations may change as they are finalized, and they may not be uniform across jurisdictions. Meeting these obligations may require significant investments of time, capital, and personnel. Risks Related to Our Indebtedne d ss Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affe f ct our business flexibility and ability to service our debt, and increase our borrowing costs. We have, and we expect that we will continue to have, a substantial amount of debt. Our substantial level of indebtedness could have the effe f ct of, among other things, reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business, economic, market and industry conditions and increasing the amount of cash required to service our debt. In addition, this level of indebtedness may 17 also reduce funds availabl a e for capital expenditures, any Board-approved share repurchases, dividends or other activities. Those impacts may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other companies with lower debt levels. Further, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in our debt instruments, if any, which could increase the risks associated with our capital structur t e. Our ability to service our substantial debt obligations will depend on future performance, which will be affe f cted by business, economic, market and industry conditions and other factors. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate suffic f ient cash flow to service our debt obligations when due. If we are unabl a e to meet such obligations or fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in the agreements governing such debt obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our debt, sell important strategic assets at unfav f orable prices or make additional borrowings. We may not be able to, at any given time, refinance our debt, sell assets, or make additional borrowings on commercially reasonabl a e terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Changes in credit market conditions and other factors could adversely affe f ct our ability to raise debt favorably. Instability in the global financial markets, inflation, policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, including changes in monetary policy and interest rates, and other general economic conditions could lead to volatility in the credit and equity markets. This volatility could limit our access to the capital markets, leading to higher borrowing costs or, in some cases, the inability to obtain financing on terms that are acceptabl a e to us or at all. Further, deterioration in our operating performance may lead to a decrease in our credit ratings, which could also impact our ability to access the debt capital markets at rates favorable or acceptabl a e to us. In addition, any hedging agreements we may enter into to limit our exposure to interest rate increases or foreign currency fluctuations may not offe f r complete protection from these risks or may be unsuccessful f , and consequently may effe f ctively increase the interest rate we pay on our debt or the exchange rate with respect to any debt we may incur in a foreign currency, and any portion not subject to such hedging agreements would have full exposure to interest rate increases or foreign currency fluctuations, as applicable. If any financial institutions that are parties to our hedging agreements were to default on their payment obligations to us, declare bankrupt r cy or become insolvent, we would be unhedged against the underlying exposures. Any posting of collateral by us under our hedging agreements and the modification or termination of any of our hedging agreements could negatively impact our liquidity or other financial metrics. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Risks Related to Legal e and Regu e latory Matters Failure to maintain effe f ctive internal control over financial reporting could impair our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which could lead to material misstatements in our financial statements and adversely affe f ct our operations and reputation. We rely on robust internal controls to provide reasonabl a e assurance regarding the reliabi a lity of our financial information and the preparation of our financial statements. These controls include, among other things, properly designed processes, clear policies and procedures, competent personnel, effe f ctive oversight functions, and reliabl a e information systems that facilitate the collection, processing, and communication of financial data. As we continue to refine and improve our systems to align with our evolving business needs, there is no assurance that these improvements will be implemented without delays or disrupt r ions. A failure or significant delay in updating our systems, or a failure to effe f ctively integrate new systems with existing processes, could compromise the effe f ctiveness of our internal controls. If our internal controls are not effe f ctively designed or properly implemented, or if changes to our business processes or organizational structur t e outpa t ce our internal controls’ ability to adapt, we could experience material weaknesses or other deficiencies. Any material weaknesses or other control deficiencies that may arise in the future could require significant time and resources to remediate. If we are unabl a e to remediate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, then our ability to analyze, record and report financial information free of material misstatements, to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and otherwise to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act would be negatively impacted. As a result, we could face legal fines and penalties, diminished investor confid f ence, and adverse impacts on our access to the capital markets, potentially resulting in a decline in our stock price and harm to our reputation. 18 Changes in regulations or in the regulatory framework under which we operate could adversely affe f ct our business, financial condition, and operating results. We are subject to regulatory oversight by various federal, state, and local agencies, as well as judicial review and actions, on issues related to the wireless industry that include, but are not limited to, roaming, interconnection, spectrum allocation and licensing, facilities siting, pole attachments, intercarrier compensation, Universal Service Fund (“USF”), 911 services, robocalling/robotexting, consumer protection, consumer privacy, and cybersecurity. We are also subject to regulations in connection with other aspects of our business, including device financing and insurance activities. The FCC regulates the licensing, construc r tion, modification, operation, ownership, sale, and interconnection of wireless communications systems, as do some state and local regulatory agencies. In particular, the FCC imposes significant regulation on licensees of wireless spectrum r with respect to how radio spectrum r is used by licensees or at what power levels, the nature of the services that licensees may offe f r and how the services may be offe f red, and the resolution of issues of interference between operators in the same or adja d cent spectrum bands. Changes necessary to resolve interference issues or concerns may have a significant impact on our ability to fully utilize our spectrum r . Additionally, the FTC and other federal and state agencies have asserted that they have jurisdiction over some consumer protection matters, and the elimination and prevention of anticompetitive business practices with respect to the provision of wireless products and services. We cannot assure that the FCC or any other federal, state, or local agencies will not adopt or change regulations, change or discontinue existing programs, implement new programs, or take enforcement or other actions that would adversely affe f ct our business, impose new costs, or require changes in current or planned operations, including timing of the shutdown of legacy technologies. We also face potential investigations by, and inquiries from or actions by state public utility commissions. We also cannot assure that Congress will not amend the Communications Act, from which the FCC obtains its authority, and which serves to limit state authority, or enact other legislation in a manner that could be adverse to our business. Further, government funded programs may be discontinued due to ongoing legal challenges to the FCC’s funding mechanism, which could result in the reduction in subsidies for low-income customers and the associated revenue. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. We could be subject to fines, forfei f tures, and other penalties (including, in extreme cases, revocation of our spectrum licenses) for failure to comply with the FCC or other governmental regulations, even if any such noncompliance was unintentional. The loss of any licenses, or any related fines or forfei f tures, could adversely affe f ct our business, financial condition, and operating results. Laws and regulations relating to the handling of privacy, data protection and AI may result in increased costs, legal claims, fines against us, or reputational damage. Since 2020, more than a dozen states have enacted new, comprehensive privacy laws that create new data privacy rights for residents of those states and new compliance obligations for us and the industry in general, in addition to private rights of action for certain types of data breaches. These include the Califor f nia Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and similar laws in other states. Pending legislation in a number of other states would create similar laws elsewhere. All of these new privacy laws and others that we expect to be developed and enacted going forward will impose additional data protection obligations and potential liabi a lity on companies such as ours doing business in those states. Further, privacy laws also limit our ability to collect and use personal information. We have incurred and will continue to incur significant implementation costs to ensure compliance with the CCPA, new privacy laws in other states, and their related regulations, including managing the complexity of laws that vary from state to state. Both federal and state governments are considering additional privacy laws and regulations which, if passed, could further impact our business, strategies, offe f rings, and initiatives and cause us to incur further costs. Any actua t l or perceived failure to comply with the CCPA, other data privacy laws or regulations, or related contractua t l or other obligations, or any perceived privacy rights violation, could lead to investigations, claims, and proceedings by governmental entities and private parties, damages for contract breaches, and other significant costs, penalties, and other liabi a lities, as well as harm to our reputation and market position. AI-related laws and regulations continue to remain uncertain and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our obligations to comply with the evolving legal and regulatory landscape may require us to incur significant additional costs or limit our ability to incorporate certain AI capa a bi a lities into our business operations or product offe f rings. As we integrate AI technologies into our 19 business, we must navigate varying regulations that could impact our operations and product development. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines, penalties, or restrictions on our use of AI, which could adversely affe f ct our business. Unfavorable outcomes of legal proceedings may adversely affe f ct our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and operating results. We and our affi f liates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, investigations and proceedings, mass arbi r trations and litigation matters. For more information, see “– Contingencies and Litigation – Litigation and Regulatory Matters” in Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we, along with equipment manufact f ur t ers and other carriers, are subject to current and potential future lawsuits alleging adverse health effe f cts arising from the use of wireless handsets or from wireless transmission equipment such as cell towers. In addition, the FCC has from time to time gathered data regarding wireless device emissions, and its assessment of the risks associated with using wireless devices may evolve based on its findings. Any of these allegations or changes in risk assessments could result in customers purchasing fewer devices and wireless services, could result in significant legal and regulatory liabi a lity, and could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and operating results. Such legal proceedings can be complex, costly, and highly disrupt r ive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energy of management and other key personnel. The assessment of the outcome of legal proceedings, including our potential liabi a lity, if any, is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events that are not within our control. The amounts ultimately received or paid upon settlement or pursuant to final judgment, order or decree may differ materially from amounts accrue r d in our financial statements. In addition, litigation or similar proceedings could impose restraints on our current or future manner of doing business. Such potential outcomes including judgments, awards, settlements or orders could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and operating results. Our business may be adversely impacted if we are not able to protect our intellectual property rights or if we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. We rely on a variety of intellectual property assets, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and domains, to maintain our competitiveness. If we are unabl a e to protect our intellectua t l property due to factors such as changes in US intellectua t l property laws, the value of our intellectua t l property may become impaired, which may adversely impact our business and financial results. Additionally, we have faced and will continue to face various litigations alleging that our products or services infringe patents or other intellectua t l property of third parties, including potential litigation arising from our use of AI. If successful f , these litigations could result in an award of financial compensation, including damages or royalties, business disrupt r ions, reputational harm, or an order requiring that we cease offe f ring, selling, and using the relevant products, equipment, services, and network functions. Defending against such litigation is not only costly and time-consuming, but it may also be disrupt r ive to our business operations and divert resources and attention. Furthermore, the outcomes of these litigations are inherently uncertain. Our suppliers and vendors also have and will continue to face intellectua t l property litigation related to the technology used in the products, equipment, and services they provide to us. If successful f , such litigation against our suppliers and vendors might impact their ability to continue to provide the relevant products, equipment, and services to us. We offe f r regulated financial services products. These products expose us to a wide variety of state and federal regulations. The financing of devices, such as through our EIP, impact our regulatory compliance obligations. Failure to remain compliant with applicable regulations may increase our risk exposure in the following areas: • consumer complaints and potential examinations or enforcement actions by federal and state regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, state attorneys general, the FCC and the FTC; and • regulatory fines, penalties, enforcement actions, civil litigation, and/or class action lawsuits. Failure to comply with applicable regulations and the realization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. 20 Our business may be impacted by new or amended tax laws or regulations or administrative interpretations and judicial decisions affe f cting the scope or application of tax laws or regulations. In connection with the products and services we sell, we calculate, collect, and remit various federal, state, and local taxes, fees and regulatory charges (“tax” or “taxes”) to numerous federal, state and local governmental authorities, including federal and state USF contributions and common carrier regulatory charges and public safety fees. As many of our service plans offe f r taxes and fees inclusive, our business results could be adversely impacted by increases in taxes and fees. In addition, we incur and pay state and local transaction taxes and fees on purchases of goods and services used in our business. Tax laws are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations of the laws are issued or applied. In many cases, the application of existing, newly enacted or amended tax laws may be uncertain and subject to different interpretations, especially when evaluated against new technologies and telecommunications services, such as broadband internet access and cloud-related services. Legislative changes, administrative interpretations and judicial decisions affe f cting the scope or application of tax laws could also impact revenue reported and taxes due on tax inclusive plans. Additionally, failure to comply with any of the tax laws could subject us to additional taxes, fines, penalties, or other adverse actions. In the event that federal, state, and/or local municipalities were to significantly increase taxes and regulatory or public safety charges on our network, operations, or services, or seek to impose new taxes or charges, it could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Our wireless licenses are subject to renewal and may be revoked in the event that we violate applicable laws. Our existing wireless licenses are subject to renewal upon the expiration of the period for which they are granted. Our licenses have been granted with an expectation of renewal, and the FCC generally has approved our license renewal applications. However, the Communications Act provides that licenses may be revoked for cause and license renewal applications denied if the FCC determines that a renewal would not serve the public interest. If we fail to timely file to renew any wireless license or fail to meet any regulatory requirements for renewal, including construc r tion and substantial service requirements, we could be denied a license renewal. Many of our wireless licenses are subject to interim or final construc r tion requirements, and there is no guarantee that the FCC will find our construc r tion, or the construc r tion of prior licensees, sufficient to meet the build-out or renewal requirements. Accordingly, we cannot assure that the FCC will renew our wireless licenses upon their expiration. If any of our wireless licenses were to be revoked or not renewed upon expiration, we would not be permitted to provide services under that license, which could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock Our Certific f ate of Incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions and proceedings, which could limit the ability of our stockholders to obtain a judicial forum of their choice for disputes with the Company or its directors, offi f cers or employees. Our Certific f ate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, offi f cer or employee of the Company to the Company or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certific f ate of Incorporation or the Company's bylaws or (iv) any other action asserting a claim arising under, in connection with, and governed by the internal affa f irs doctrine. This choice of forum provision does not waive our compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Moreover, the provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liabi a lity created by the Exchange Act or by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This choice of forum provision may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, offi f cers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, offi f cers and employees, even though an action, if successful f , might benefit our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision to be inapplicable or unenfor f ceabl a e in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could increase our costs of litigation and adversely affe f ct our business and financial condition. 21 DT controls a majo a rity of the voting power of our common stock and the T-Mobile trademarks we utilize in our business and may have interests that differ from the interests of our other stockholders. DT controls a majo a rity of the voting power of our common stock and therefor f e we are a “controlled company,” as defined in the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) listing rules, and we are not subject to NASDAQ requirements that would otherwise require us to have a majo a rity of independent directors, a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors or a compensation committee composed solely of independent directors. Accordingly, our stockholders will not be affo f rded the same protections as stockholders of other NASDAQ-listed companies generally receive with respect to corporate governance for so long as we rely on these exemptions from the corporate governance requirements. In addition, pursuant to our Certific f ate of Incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, as long as DT beneficially owns 30% or more of our outstanding common stock, we are restricted from taking certain actions without DT’s prior written consent, including (i) incurring indebtedness above certain levels based on a specified debt to cash flow ratio, (ii) taking any action that would cause a default under any instrument evidencing indebtedness involving DT or its affi f liates, (iii) acquiring or disposing of assets or entering into mergers or similar acquisitions in excess of $1.0 billion, (iv) changing the size of our Board of Directors, (v) subject to certain exceptions, issuing equity of 10% or more of the then- outstanding shares of our common stock, or issuing equity to redeem debt held by DT, (vi) repurchasing or redeeming equity securities or making any extraordinary or in-kind dividend other than on a pro rata basis, or (vii) making certain changes involving our CEO. We are also restricted from amending our Certific f ate of Incorporation and bylaws in any manner that could adversely affe f ct DT’s rights under the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement for as long as DT beneficially owns 5% or more of our outstanding common stock. These restrictions could prevent us from taking actions that our Board of Directors might otherwise determine are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, or that may be in the best interests of our other stockholders. DT effe f ctively has control over all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election or removal of directors, changes to our Certific f ate of Incorporation, a sale or merger of our Company and other transactions requiring stockholder approval under Delaware law. DT’s controlling interest may have the effe f ct of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from seeking to acquire, the Company and DT, as the controlling stockholder, may have strategic, financial, or other interests different from those of our other stockholders, including as the holder of a portion of our debt and as the counterpa r rty in a number of commercial arrangements, and may make decisions adverse to the interests of our other stockholders. In addition, we license certain trademarks from DT, including the right to use the trademark “T-Mobile” as a name for the Company and our flagship brand under a trademark license agreement, as amended, with DT. As described in more detail in our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 24, 2024 under the heading “Transactions with Related Persons and Approval,” we are obligated to pay DT a royalty in an amount equal to 0.25% (the “royalty rate”) of the net revenue (as defined in the trademark license) generated by products and services sold by the Company under the licensed trademarks subject to a cap a of $80 million per calendar year through December 31, 2028. We and DT are obligated to negotiate a new trademark license when (i) DT has 50% or less of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or (ii) any third party owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capi a tal stock of the Company, or otherwise has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. If we and DT fail to agree on a new trademark license, either we or DT may terminate the trademark license and such termination shall be effe f ctive, in the case of clause (i) above, on the third anniversary afte f r a notice of termination and, in the case of clause (ii) above, on the second anniversary afte f r a notice of termination. A further increase in the royalty rate or termination of the trademark license could have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, financial condition, and operating results. We cannot guarantee that our current and future stockholder return programs will be fully utilized or that they will enhance long-term stockholder value. Our Board of Directors has authorized, and may from time to time authorize, stockholder return programs, consisting of repurchases of shares of our common stock, the payment of cash dividends, or both. The specific timing and amount of any share repurchases and any dividend payments under any stockholder return program will depend on prevailing share prices, general economic and market conditions, Company performance and other considerations, such as whether the Company determines that there are other uses for the funds currently authorized for the program that would be more advantageous for our business. In addition, the specific f timing and amount of any dividend payments are subject to declaration on future dates by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. 22 Any stockholder return program could impact our cash flows and affe f ct the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility. We cannot guarantee that any stockholder return program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Our current and future stockholder return programs do not, and will not, obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to declare and pay any particular amount of dividends, and any program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. Any announcement of termination of any program may result in a decrease in the price of our common stock. Future sales of our common stock by DT and SoftBank and foreign ownership limitations by the FCC could have a negative impact on our stock price and decrease the value of our stock. We cannot predict the effe f ct, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock by DT or SoftBank will have on the prevailing trading price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause our stock price to decline. We and DT are parties to the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement pursuant to which DT is free to transfer f its shares in public sales without notice, as long as such transactions would not result in a third party owning more than 30% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If a transfer f were to exceed the 30% threshold, it would be prohibited unless the transfer f were approved by our Board of Directors, or the transfer f ee were to make a binding offe f r to purchase all of the other outstanding shares on the same price and terms. The Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement does not otherwise impose any other restrictions on the sales of common stock by DT. Moreover, the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement generally requires us to cooperate with DT to facilitate the resale of our common stock or debt securities held by DT under shelf registration statements we have filed. The sale of shares of our common stock by DT or SoftBank (other than in transactions involving the purchase of all of our outstanding shares) could significantly increase the number of shares availabl a e in the market, which could cause a decrease in our stock price. In addition, even if DT or SoftBank does not sell a large number of their shares into the market, their rights to transfer f a large number of shares into the market could depress our stock price. Furthermore, under existing law, no more than 20% of an FCC licensee’s capital stock may be directly owned, or no more than 25% indirectly owned, or voted by non-U.S. citizens or their representatives, by a foreign government or its representatives or by a foreign corporation. If an FCC licensee is controlled by another entity, up to 25% of that entity’s capital stock may be owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or their representatives, by a foreign government or its representatives or by a foreign corporation. Foreign ownership above the 25% holding company level may be allowed if the FCC finds such higher levels consistent with the public interest. The FCC has ruled that higher levels of foreign ownership, even up to 100%, are presumptively consistent with the public interest with respect to investors from certain nations. If our foreign ownership by previously unappr a oved foreign parties were to exceed the permitted level without further FCC authorization, the FCC could subject us to a range of penalties, including an order for us to divest the foreign ownership in part, fines, license revocation or denials of license renewals. If ownership of our common stock by an unappr a oved foreign entity were to become subject to such limitations, or if any ownership of our common stock violates any other rule or regulation of the FCC applicable to us, our Certific f ate of Incorporation provides for certain redemption provisions at a pre-determined price which may be less than fair market value. These limitations and our Certific f ate of Incorporation may limit our ability to attract additional equity financing outside the United States and decrease the value of our common stock. Item 1B. Unresolved Stafff Comments None. Item 1C. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy Our Cybersecurity Appr p oach and Integr e ation We have implemented processes for overseeing and identifying material risks from cybersecurity threats, and our cybersecurity processes are integrated into the Company’s overall risk management system and processes. As part of management’s oversight of cybersecurity, our Chief Security Offi f cer (“CSO”) presents on our cybersecurity practices to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors (the “NCG Committee”) and to our full Board of Directors on a periodic basis. Our Senior Vice President, Internal Audit & Risk Management (the “Chief Audit Executive”), periodically presents enterprise risks, including cybersecurity risks, to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”). Our 23 Chief Compliance Offi f cer regularly attends meetings of the NCG Committee to provide insights from the compliance perspective relating to cybersecurity. Cyber risk management is a core component of the Company's governance structur t e. We utilize the National Institut t e of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework as a guide in cyber risk management to identify, f assess, and assist the CSO in managing cybersecurity risks. Cyber risk management encompasses partnerships among teams that are responsible for cyber governance, prevention, detection, and remediation activities within the Company’s cybersecurity environment. As part of our cyber risk management effo f rts, we conduct periodic reviews and collabor a ate with enterprise-wide risk assessments to assess and manage cybersecurity risks. Our cybersecurity team also provides enterprise-wide cybersecurity training for employees to continuously improve our mitigation against human-driven vulnerabi a lities. Our management also conducts a quarterly enterprise-wide risk assessment that considers a wide spectrum of risks facing the Company, including cybersecurity. Through these quarterly risk assessments, management informs the Audit Committee on the cyber risk landscape facing the Company and the Company’s preparedness to manage such risk. The enterprise-wide risk assessment is a top-down risk assessment that leverages the assessments performed by cyber risk management. Engagement with External Expe x rtst The Company engages top-tier external cyber security firms, as needed, leveraging their expertise as part of our ongoing effo f rt to evaluate and enhance our cybersecurity program. They help with cyber defense capabilities (including stafff enhancement of certain functions) and transfor f mation to mitigate associated threats, reduce risk, enhance our cybersecurity posture, and meet the Company's evolving needs. Oversi r gh i t of Third-Partyt Service Providersr Our third-party risk management program includes processes for identifyi f ng and managing material cybersecurity risks arising from third-party providers. Our third-party risk management program actively engages with the enterprise-wide risk assessment process and partners with cyber risk management to report relevant risks to the NCG Committee, the Audit Committee and our internal Enterprise Risk & Compliance Committee. Our third-party risk management program includes cybersecurity as an aspect of its risk assessment of third parties with the objective that key risks are identifie f d and addressed. Moreover, the program also considers risks associated with certain fourth parties, entities that are partners or subcontractors of our direct third- party vendors, through assessments carried out by our third-party service providers. Cybersecurity Incident Impac m t As previously disclosed, in August 2021, we experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in numerous lawsuits, including mass arbi r tration claims and multiple class action lawsuits. In January 2023, we experienced another cybersecurity incident that also resulted in consumer class actions and regulatory inquiries. As a result of the August 2021 cyberattack and the January 2023 cyberattack, we have incurred and may continue to incur significant costs or experience other material financial impacts, which may not be covered by, or may exceed the coverage limits of, our cyber liabi a lity insurance, and such costs and impacts may have a material adverse effe f ct on our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and operating results. For additional details regarding the impact of both cybersecurity incidents, see Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We have not identified other known risks from previous cybersecurity threats that have materially affe f cted or are reasonabl a y likely to materially affe f ct us. However, we face ongoing risks from certain cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonabl a y likely to materially affe f ct business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See “Risk Factors – We have experienced criminal cyberattacks and could in the future be further harmed by disrupt u ion, data loss or other security breaches, whether directly or indirectly through third parties whose products and services we rely on in operating our business.” Governance Disclosure of Management’s Responsibilities Transfor f mation and Chiefe Info n rmation & Digi i tal Offi f cer The Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Offi f cer, is responsible for overseeing the Company’s information technology systems, digital capabilities, and cybersecurity practices. The CSO, under the direction of the Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer, is responsible for overseeing the 24 cybersecurity organization and promoting a security-centric cultur t e throughout our business and operational functions. The CSO is at the forefront of enhancing our cybersecurity framework and strengthening the overall cybersecurity program. This involves upgrading tools and capabilities, which are part of a broader, multi-year strategy to continue to enhance security measures. The CSO oversees the cyber risk management function, which identifie f s cybersecurity threats, assesses cybersecurity risks and supports the Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer and the Company in managing such risks. As the Company’s Executive Vice President, Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer, Néstor Cano has served in several leadership positions at both the Company and Sprint, including as Sprint’s Chief Operating Offi f cer, overseeing, among other things, Sprint’s digital architectur t e and delivery. Mr. Cano studi t ed industrial engineering at Barcelona Polytechnic University, attended the Executive Distribution Academy by INSEAD Business School in Fontainebleau, France, and also completed his post-graduate degree in executive management at IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain. As the Company’s CSO, Jeff Simon has extensive experience in risk management and information security, including serving as the Chief Information Security Offi f cer at Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. Mr. Simon received his Master of Science in Computer Science, Software Engineering & Artificial Intelligence from the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Applied Economics from Marquette University. Mr. Simon is a Certifie f d Information Systems Security Profes f sional. Enterprise Risk & Compliance Committee Our Enterprise Risk & Compliance Committee is comprised of a collective of senior management representatives and subject matter experts from across the Company. The Enterprise Risk & Compliance Committee is chaired by the Chief Financial Offi f cer of the Company, with the Executive Vice President & General Counsel as the co-chair and comprises core members including the Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer, while the CSO serves in an advisory capacity. The purpos r e of the Enterprise Risk & Compliance Committee is to oversee and govern the Company’s risk management, environmental, social, corporate governance, cybersecurity, and operational compliance activities, as well as provide a means of bringing risk issues to the attention of management. Specific f to cybersecurity, the Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer and the CSO have the expertise to provide insights into the nature of cyber threats, the Company’s readiness, and actions taken to mitigate such risks. Disclosure of the Board’s Roles and Responsibilities Our Board of Directors oversees risks from cybersecurity threats using a multi-faceted approach that involves the NCG Committee and Audit Committee and various executive roles. Additionally, our Transfor f mation and Chief Information & Digital Offi f cer and CSO report on cybersecurity to the full Board. Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee The NCG Committee oversees risks associated with data privacy and information security, which encompasses cybersecurity. Our CSO and Chief Compliance Offi f cer, among other executives, provide periodic reports to the NCG Committee and also meet with the NCG Committee to discuss any material events when they arise. The periodic reports are designed to keep the NCG Committee abreast of the Company’s cybersecurity practices, risks and trends in cybersecurity threats. The NCG Committee also has discussions with management focused on evaluating the Company’s exposure to cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity practices in place to mitigate such risks. These discussions enable the NCG Committee to be informed of the steps management is taking to detect, monitor and manage cybersecurity risks. These reports to the NCG Committee typically include information on any significant incidents that have occurred, how they were managed, and any changes to the risk profile f of the Company. The NCG Committee seeks updates to facilitate proactive governance and to allow the NCG Committee to address emerging cybersecurity issues with management. Audit Committee The Audit Committee is integral to overseeing the Company’s overall risk management strategies, including cybersecurity risks and disclosures. To keep the Audit Committee informed, the Chief Audit Executive maintains a direct and open communication channel with the Audit Committee. Regular meetings are held for the Chief Audit Executive to report to the Audit Committee. These include an enterprise-wide risk assessment that highlights cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity risk mitigation actions. Additionally, the Audit Committee receives updates on significant incidents and cybersecurity risks that have been presented to or discussed with the Enterprise Risk & Compliance Committee. 25 Item 2.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not appl a icable. 26 PART II. Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market Information Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “TMUS.” We are included within the S&P 500 in the Wireless Telecommunication Services GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) Sub-Industry index. As of January 24, 2025, there were 14,513 registered stockholders of record of our common stock, but we estimate the total number of stockholders to be much higher as a number of our shares are held by brokers or dealers for f their customers in street name. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we declared and paid cash dividends totaling $2.83 per share, as part of our 2023-2024 Stockholder Retur t n Program (as defin f ed below). Additionally, on November 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which will be paid on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2025, as part of our 2025 Stockholder Return Program (as defin f ed below).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview The objectives of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) are to provide users of our consolidated financial statements with the following: • A narrative explanation fro f m the perspective of management of our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and certain other fact f ors that may affe f ct future results; • Context to the consolidated financial statements; and • Infor f mation that allows assessment of the likelihood that past performance is indicative of fut f ur t e performance. Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read together with, our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for f each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Except as expressly stated, the fin f ancial condition and results of operations discussed throughout our MD&A are those of T-Mobile US, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Merger-Related Costs Merger-related costs associated with our Merger with Sprint generally include: • Integration costs to achieve efficiencies in network, retail, information technology and back offi f ce operations, migrate customers to the T-Mobile network and billing systems and the impact of legal matters assumed as part of the Merger; • Restruc r turing costs, including severance, store rationalization and network decommissioning; and • Transaction costs, including legal and profes f sional services related to the completion of the transactions. Merger-related costs have been excluded fro f m our calculations of Adju d sted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as we do not consider these costs to be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. See “Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adju d sted EBITDA” in the “Performance Measures” section of this MD&A. Net cash payments for Merger-related costs, including payments related to our restructur t ing plan, are included in Net cash provided by operating activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and our calculation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a gain for the $100 million extension fee previously paid by DISH associated with the DISH License Purchase Agreement as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The gain was presented as a reduction in Merger-related costs and excluded fro f m our calculations of Adju d sted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA. See Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum r License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for f more information. As of June 30, 2024, we have incurred substantially all restruc r turing and integration costs associated with the Merger and, accordingly, no longer separately disclose Merger-related costs. The cash payments for f the Merger-related costs incurred extend beyond 2024. Cash payments extending beyond 2024 primarily relate to operating and financing leases for which we have recognized accelerated lease expense. See Note 19 – Restruc r turing Costs of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more infor f mation.

See Note 19 – Restructur t ing Costs of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Joint Ventures On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with a fund operated by EQT, Infrastructur t e VI fund (“Fund VI”), to establ a ish a joint ventur t e between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos (“Lumos”), a fiber-to-the-home platform, from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructur t e III. The arrangement is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $950 million in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing Lumos fiber customers. The funds invested by us will be used to fund future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million in 2027 or 2028 under the existing business plan. On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR & Co. Inc. (“KKR”) to establ a ish a joint ventur t e to acquire Metronet Holdings, LLC and certain of its affi f liates (collectively, “Metronet”), a fiber-to-the-home platform. This arrangement is expected to close in 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.9 billion in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding the joint ventur t e. We do not anticipate making further capital contributions following the closing under the existing business plan. The joint ventur t es will focus on market identific f ation and selection, build plans, network engineering and design, network deployment, and customer installation, with us owning customer relationships and selling fiber service under the T-Mobile brand. Upon closing of the transactions, we expect to account for the Lumos and Metronet joint ventur t es under the equity method of accounting and recognize service revenues for the acquired Lumos and Metronet fiber customers and wholesale costs paid to the joint ventur t es for network access within Cost of services on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation On May 1, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), we completed the merger with Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries, including, among others, Mint Mobile LLC (collectively, “Ka’ena”), and as a result, Ka’ena became a wholly owned subsidiary of T- Mobile (the “Ka’ena Acquisition”). The total purchase price is variable, dependent upon specified performance indicators of Ka’ena, and consists of an upfro f nt payment on the Acquisition Date and an earnout payabl a e on August 1, 2026. On the Acquisition Date and in satisfaction of the upfro f nt payment, we transfer f red $420 million in cash and 3,264,952 shares of T- Mobile common stock valued at $536 million as determined based on its closing market price on April 30, 2024, for a total payment fair value of $956 million. A portion of the upfro f nt payment made on the Acquisition Date was for the settlement of the preexisting wholesale relationship with Ka’ena. The amount of the upfro f nt payment was subject to customary adju d stments and as a result of such adju d stments, $17 million of the upfro f nt payment was returned to T-Mobile during the fourth quarter of 2024, which resulted in a commensurate increase in the maximum payabl a e in satisfaction of the earnout. Based on the adju d sted amount paid upfro f nt, up to an additional $420 million in future cash and T-Mobile common stock is payabl a e in satisfaction of the earnout, dependent upon Ka’ena’s achievement of specified performance indicators. Prior to the Ka’ena Acquisition, Ka’ena was a wholesale partner of the Company for which we recognized service revenues within Wholesale and other service revenues. Upon the closing of the Ka’ena Acquisition, this relationship was effe f ctively terminated, and the Company acquired Ka’ena’s prepaid customer relationships and began to recognize service revenues associated with these customers within Prepaid revenues and operating expenses primarily within Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income subsequent to the Acquisition Date. For more information regarding the Ka’ena Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Acquisition of UScellular Wireless Operations On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with United States Cellular Corporation (“UScellular”), Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., and USCC Wireless Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire 30 substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select spectrum r assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payabl a e in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through an exchange offe f r to be made to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the exchange, their bonds will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2025, subject to customary closing conditions and receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Upon closing of the transaction, we expect to account for the UScellular transaction as a business combination and to consolidate the acquired operations. We expect this transaction will yield approximately $1.0 billion in total annual run rate cost synergies, including operating expense and capital expenditure synergies, upon integration, with total cost to achieve the integration currently estimated at between $2.2 billion to $2.6 billion. For more information regarding our acquisition of UScellular’s wireless operations, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Acquisition of Vistar Media Inc. On December 20, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Vistar Media Inc., a provider of technology solutions for digital-out-of-home advertisements, for a purchase price of approximately $625 million. The purchase price is subject to certain agreed-upon working capital and other adju d stments. The acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue Trends In 2025, we expect Postpa t id service revenues to continue to grow, primarily due to continued postpaid account and customer growth as well as postpaid Average Revenue per Account (“ARPA”) growth driven by the execution of our strategy to continuously deepen our account relationships, including growth in High Speed Internet. We also expect an increase in service revenues upon the closing of our previously announced joint ventur t es and acquisition of UScellular. In addition, Wholesale and other service revenues are expected to continue to decline primarily as DISH services more of its Boost customers with their standalone network. Operating Expense Trends In 2025, we expect Total operating expenses to increase, primarily driven by higher Depreciation and amortization from assets placed into service associated with our continued build-out of our nationwide 5G network, s a well as higher Cost of equipment sales, driven by higher expected unit sales from a growing customer base. We also expect an increase in Total operating expenses upon the closing of our previously announced joint ventur t es and acquisition of UScellular. We expect these increases to be partially offs f et by synergy realization from the acquisition of UScellular benefiting Cost of services. Macroeconomic Trends Macroeconomic trends may result in adverse impacts on our business, and we continue to monitor these potential impacts, including potential economic recession, changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, as well as geopolitical risks, including the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas wars and further escalations thereof. Such scenarios and uncertainties may affe f ct, among others, expected credit loss activity as well as certain fair value estimates. To date, price inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations as we have fixed rates establ a ished through long-term contracts for many of our most significant costs, including for many of our tower agreements and backhaul contracts. Similarly, our exposure to the impact of rising interest rates is limited, primarily to any new debt issuances or draws on our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), as interest is paid on our Senior Notes at a fixed rate. We continue to monitor the impact of these trends on the payment performance of our customers. 31 Results of Operations Set for f th below is a summary of our consolidated financial results: Year Ended December 31, 2024 Versus 2023 2023 Versus 2022 (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 $ Change % Change $ Change % Change venues Postpa t id revenues $ 52,340 $ 48,692 $ 45,919 $ 3,648 7 % $ 2,773 6 % Prepaid revenues 10,399 9,767 9,857 632 6 % (90) (1)% Wholesale and other service revenues 3,439 4,782 5,547 (1,343) (28)% (765) (14)% Total service revenues 66,178 63,241 61,323 2,937 5 % 1,918 3 % Equipment revenues 14,263 14,138 17,130 125 1 % (2,992) (17)% Other revenues 959 1,179 1,118 (220) (19)% 61 5 % Total revenues 81,400 78,558 79,571 2,842 4 % (1,013) (1)% Operating expenses Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below 10,771 11,655 14,666 (884) (8)% (3,011) (21)% Cost of equipment sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below 18,882 18,533 21,540 349 2 % (3,007) (14)% Selling, general and administrative 20,818 21,311 21,607 (493) (2)% (296) (1)% Impairment expense — — 477 — NM (477) (100)% (Gain) loss on disposal group held for sale — (25) 1,087 25 (100)% (1,112) (102)% Depreciation and amortization 12,919 12,818 13,651 101 1 % (833) (6)% Total operating expenses 63,390 64,292 73,028 (902) (1)% (8,736) (12)% Operating income 18,010 14,266 6,543 3,744 26 % 7,723 118 % Other expense, net Interest expense, net (3,411) (3,335) (3,364) (76) 2 % 29 (1)% Other income (expense), net 113 68 (33) 45 66 % 101 (306)% Total other expense, net (3,298) (3,267) (3,397) (31) 1 % 130 (4)% Income before income taxes 14,712 10,999 3,146 3,713 34 % 7,853 250 % Income tax expense (3,373) (2,682) (556) (691) 26 % (2,126) 382 % Net income $ 11,339 $ 8,317 $ 2,590 $ 3,022 36 % $ 5,727 221 % Statement of Cash Flows Data Net cash provided by operating activities $ 22,293 $ 18,559 $ 16,781 $ 3,734 20 % $ 1,778 11 % Net cash used in investing activities (9,072) (5,829) (12,359) (3,243) 56 % 6,530 (53)% Net cash used in fin f ancing activities (12,815) (12,097) (6,451) (718) 6 % (5,646) 88 % Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adju d sted EBITDA $ 31,864 $ 29,428 $ 27,821 $ 2,436 8 % $ 1,607 6 % Core Adju d sted EBITDA 31,771 29,116 26,391 2,655 9 % 2,725 10 % Adju d sted Free Cash Flow 17,032 13,586 7,656 3,446 25 % 5,930 77 % NM - Not meaningful f 32 The following discussion and analys l is is for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, unless otherwise stated.d For a discussion and analysis of the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on Februa r ry 2, 2024.

Other revenues decreased $220 million, or 19%, primarily from the transition of certain device recovery programs from external sources to in-house processing, resulting in a change in presentation from Other revenues to Equipment revenues. Total operating expenses decreased $902 million, or 1%. The components of this change are discussed below.

These operating and fin f ancial measures are utilized by our management to evaluate our operating performance and, in certain cases, our ability to meet liquidity requirements. Although companies in the wireless industry may not define each of these measures in precisely the same way, we believe that these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies in the wireless industry on key operating and fin f ancial measures.

Churn Churn represents the number of customers whose service was deactivated as a percentage of the average number of customers during the specified period further divided by the number of months in the period. The number of customers whose service was deactivated is presented net of customers that subsequently had their service restored within a certain period of time and excludes customers who received service for less than a certain minimum period of time. We believe that churn provides management, investors and analysts with useful f information to evaluate customer retention and loyalty.

Postpai t d Average Revenue Per Account Postpa t id Average Revenue per Account (“ARPA”) represents the average monthly postpaid service revenue earned per account. Postpaid ARPA is calculated as Postpaid revenues for f the specified period divided by the average number of postpaid accounts during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. We believe postpaid ARPA provides management, investors and analysts with useful f information to assess and evaluate our postpaid service revenue realization and assists in for f ecasting our future postpaid service revenues on a per account basis. We consider postpaid ARPA to be indicative of our revenue growth potential given the increase in the average number of postpaid phone customers per account and increases in postpaid other customers, including High Speed Internet, mobile internet devices (including tabl a ets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT).

Average Revenue Per Use U r Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) represents the average monthly service revenue earned per customer. ARPU is calculated as service revenues for f the specified period divided by the average number of customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. We believe ARPU provides management, investors and analysts with useful f information to assess and evaluate our service revenue per customer and assist in forecasting our future service revenues generated from our customer base.

Prepaid ARPU Prepaid ARPU decreased $1.86, or 5%, primarily from the inclusion of lower ARPU prepaid customers associated with the Ka’ena Acquisition. 39 Adju d sted EBITDA D and Core Adju d sted EBITDA D Adju d sted 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) loss on disposal groups held for sale, certain legal-related recoveries and expenses, restructur t ing costs not directly attributable to the Merger (including severance), and other non-core gains and losses. Core Adju d sted EBITDA represents Adju d sted EBITDA less device lease revenues. Adju d sted EBITDA margin represents Adju d sted EBITDA divided by Service revenues. Core Adju d sted EBITDA margin represents Core Adju d sted EBITDA divided by Service revenues. Adju d sted EBITDA, Adju d sted EBITDA margin, Core Adju d sted EBITDA and Core Adju d sted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures utilized by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to monitor the financial performance of our operations and allocate resources of the Company as a whole. We historically used Adju d sted EBITDA, and we currently use Core Adju d sted EBITDA internally as a measure to evaluate and compensate our personnel and management for their performance. We use Adju d sted EBITDA and Core Adju d sted EBITDA as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance in comparison to our competitors. Management believes analysts and investors use Adju d sted EBITDA and Core Adju d sted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate overall operating performance and to facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications services companies because they are indicative of our 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 Adju d sted EBITDA because it normalizes for the transition in the Company’s device financing strategy, by excluding the impact of device lease revenues from Adju d sted EBITDA, to align with the exclusion of the related depreciation expense on leased devices from Adju d sted EBITDA. Adju d sted EBITDA, Adju d sted EBITDA margin, Core Adju d sted EBITDA and Core Adju d sted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for income from operations, net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. 40 The fol f lowing tabl a e illustrates the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adju d sted EBITDA and reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Core Adjusted EBITDA to Net income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP fin f ancial measure: Year Ended December 31, 2024 Versus 2023 2023 Versus 2022 (in millions, except percentages) 2024 2023 2022 $ Change % Change $ Change % Change t income $ 11,339 $ 8,317 $ 2,590 $ 3,022 36 % $ 5,727 221 % Adju d stments: Interest expense, net 3,411 3,335 3,364 76 2 % (29) (1)% Other (income) expense, net (113) (68) 33 (45) 66 % (101) (306)% Income tax expense 3,373 2,682 556 691 26 % 2,126 382 % Operating income 18,010 14,266 6,543 3,744 26 % 7,723 118 % Depreciation and amortization 12,919 12,818 13,651 101 1 % (833) (6)% Stock-based compensation (1) 586 644 576 (58) (9)% 68 12 % Merger-related costs (2) 121 1,034 4,969 (913) (88)% (3,935) (79)% Impairment expense — — 477 — NM (477) (100)% Legal-related (recoveries) expenses, net (3) (89) (42) 391 (47) 112 % (433) (111)% (Gain) loss on disposal group held for sale — (25) 1,087 25 (100)% (1,112) (102)% Other, net (4) 317 733 127 (416) (57)% 606 477 % Adju d sted EBITDA 31,864 29,428 27,821 2,436 8 % 1,607 6 % Lease revenues (93) (312) (1,430) 219 (70)% 1,118 (78)% Core Adju d sted EBITDA $ 31,771 $ 29,116 $ 26,391 $ 2,655 9 % $ 2,725 10 % Net income margin (Net income divided by Service revenues) 17 % 13 % 4 % 400 bps 900 bps Adju d sted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by Service revenues) 48 % 47 % 45 % 100 bps 200 bps Core Adju d sted EBITDA margin (Core Adju d sted EBITDA divided by Service revenues) 48 % 46 % 43 % 200 bps 300 bps (1) Stock-based compensation includes payroll tax impacts and may not agree with stock-based compensation expense on the consolidated financial statements.

NM - Not meaningful f Core Adju d sted EBITDA increased $2.7 billion, or 9%, for f the year ended December 31, 2024. The components comprising Core Adju d sted EBITDA are discussed fur f ther above. The increase was primarily fro f m: • Higher Total service revenues; • Higher Equipment revenues, excluding lease revenues; and • Lower Cost of services, excluding Special Items; partially offset by • Higher Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding Special Items; and • Higher Cost of equipment sales, excluding Special Items. Adju d sted EBITDA increased $2.4 billion, or 8%, for f the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the flu f ctua t tions in Core Adju d sted EBITDA, discussed above a , partially offs f et by lower lease revenues, which decreased $219 million for f the year ended December 31, 2024. 41 Liquidity and Capital Resources Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations, proceeds fro f m issuance of debt, fin f ancing leases, the sale of certain receivabl a es, the Revolving Credit Facility and an unsecured short-term commercial pape a r program.

Adju d sted Free Cash Flow margin is calculated as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Service revenues. Adju d sted Free Cash Flow margin is utilized by management, investors, and analysts to evaluate the Company’s abi a lity to convert service revenue effi f ciently into cash availabl a e to pay debt, repurchase shares, pay dividends and provide further investment in the business. The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Net cash provided by operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure: Year Ended December 31, 2024 Versus 2023 2023 Versus 2022 n millions, except percentages) 2024 2023 2022 $ Change % Change $ Change % Change t cash provided by operating activities $ 22,293 $ 18,559 $ 16,781 $ 3,734 20 % $ 1,778 11 % Cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest (8,840) (9,801) (13,970) 961 (10)% 4,169 (30)% Proceeds fro f m sales of tower sites — 12 9 (12) (100)% 3 33 % Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions 3,579 4,816 4,836 (1,237) (26)% (20) — % Adju d sted Free Cash Flow $ 17,032 $ 13,586 $ 7,656 $ 3,446 25 % $ 5,930 77 % Net cash provided by operating activities margin (Net cash provided by operating activities divided by Service revenues) 34 % 29 % 27 % 500 bps 200 bps Adju d sted Free Cash Flow margin (Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Service revenues) 26 % 21 % 12 % 500 bps 900 bps Adju d sted Free Cash Flow increased $3.4 billion, or 25%, for f the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily from: • Higher Net cash provided by operating activities, as described above a ; and • Lower Cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest, driven by increased capital effi f ciencies from accelerated investments in our nationwide 5G network in previous years; partially offs f et by • Lower Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions, which were offs f et in Net cash provided by operating activities. • Adjusted Free Cash Flow includes the impact of $767 million and $2.0 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in net payments for f Merger-related costs. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no significant net cash proceeds fro f m securitization. On October 22, 2024, we executed amendments (the “Pledge Amendments”) to the EIP Sale Arrangement and the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement (as discussed in Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivabl a es of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Following the effective date of the Pledge Amendments of November 1, 2024, all cash proceeds associated with the sale of such receivabl a es, a portion of which, prior to November 1, 2024, were recognized as Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions within Net cash used in investing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were recognized as operating cash flo f ws. The Pledge Amendments did not have a net impact on Adju d sted Free Cash Flow. Borrowing Capac a ity We maintain a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with an aggregate commitment amount of $7.5 billion. As of December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. We maintain an unsecured short-term commercial paper program with the abi a lity to borrow up to $2.0 billion fro f m time to time. This program supplements our other availabl a e external fin f ancing arrangements and proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purpos r es. As of December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding balance under this program. 43 Debt Financing As of December 31, 2024, our total debt and financing lease liabilities were $80.6 billion, excluding our tower obligations, of which $74.2 billion was classified as long-term debt and $1.2 billion was classified as long-term financing lease liabi a lities. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we issued long-term debt for net proceeds of $8.6 billion and repaid short-term debt with an aggregate principal amount of $5.1 billion. For more information regarding our debt financing transactions, see Note 9 – Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Spectrum Auctions In September 2022, the FCC announced that we were the winning bidder of 7,156 licenses in Auction 108 (2.5 GHz spectrum r ) for an aggregate price of $304 million. At inception of Auction 108 in June 2022, we deposited $65 million. We paid the FCC the remaining $239 million for the licenses won in the auction in September 2022. On Februa r ry 29, 2024, the FCC issued to us the licenses won in Auction 108, and substantially all of these licenses were deployed in March 2024. For more information regarding our spectrum licenses, see Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum r License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. License Purchase Agreements On August 8, 2022, we entered into License Purchase Agreements to acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC (together with Channel 51 License Co LLC, the “Sellers”) in exchange for total cash consideration of $3.5 billion. On March 30, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements, pursuant to which we and the Sellers agreed to bifurcate the transaction into two tranches of licenses, with the closings on the acquisitions of certain licenses in Chicago, Dallas and New Orleans being deferred in order to potentially expedite the regulatory approval process for the remainder of the licenses. Subsequently, on August 25, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amendments No. 1 to the Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements, whereby we deferred the closings of certain additional licenses in Chicago and Dallas into the second closing tranche. Together, the licenses with closings deferred into the second closing tranche represent approximately $1.1 billion of the aggregate $3.5 billion cash consideration. The FCC approved the purchase of the first tranche on December 29, 2023. The first tranche closed on June 24, 2024, and the associated payment of $2.4 billion was made on August 5, 2024. The FCC approved the purchase of the Dallas licenses included in the second tranche on October 22, 2024. The purchase of the Dallas licenses closed on December 6, 2024, and the associated payment of $541 million was made on the same day. We anticipate that the remaining deferred licenses from the second tranche of $604 million will close in 2025. The parties have agreed that each of the closings will occur within 180 days afte f r the receipt of the applicable required regulatory approvals, and payment of each portion of the aggregate $3.5 billion purchase price will occur no later than 40 days afte f r the date of each respective closing. On September 12, 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with Comcast pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Comcast in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion, subject to an application for FCC approval. The licenses are subject to an exclusive leasing arrangement between us and Comcast entered into contemporaneously with the License Purchase Agreement. On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum. Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion. We anticipate the closing will occur in the first half of 2028. On September 10, 2024, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with N77 License Co LLC (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer has the option to purchase all or a portion of our remaining 3.45 GHz spectrum licenses in exchange for a range of cash consideration, with the specific f licenses sold to be determined based upon the amount of committed financing raised by Buyer. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the licenses subject to the License Purchase Agreement were held at cost of $2.7 billion in Spectrum r licenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We maintain the right to terminate the License Purchase 44 Agreement no later than Februa r ry 7, 2025, as we did not receive written notice of committed financing as of December 9, 2024, from the Buyer at or above a certain target level of cash consideration. If we do not terminate the License Purchase Agreement, the transaction is subject to FCC approval. Acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation On the Acquisition Date, we completed the Ka’ena Acquisition. The total purchase price is variable, dependent upon specifie f d performance indicators of Ka’ena, and consists of an upfro f nt payment on the Acquisition Date and an earnout payabl a e on August 1, 2026. On the Acquisition Date and in satisfaction of the upfro f nt payment, we transfer f red $420 million in cash and 3,264,952 shares of T-Mobile common stock valued at $536 million as determined based on its closing market price on April 30, 2024, for a total payment fair value of $956 million. The amount of the upfro f nt payment was subject to customary adju d stments and as a result of such adju d stments, $17 million of the upfro f nt payment was returned to T-Mobile during the fourth quarter of 2024, which resulted in a commensurate increase in the maximum payabl a e in satisfaction of the earnout. Based on the adju d sted amount paid upfro f nt, up to an additional $420 million in future cash and T-Mobile common stock is payabl a e in satisfaction of the earnout, dependent upon Ka’ena’s achievement of specified performance indicators. For more information regarding the Ka’ena Acquisition, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Lumos Joint Venture On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with Fund VI to establ a ish a joint ventur t e between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastruc r ture III. The arrangement is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $950 million in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing Lumos fiber customers. The funds invested by us will be used to fund future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million in 2027 or 2028 under the existing business plan. For more information regarding the Lumos joint ventur t e, see Note 3 – Joint Ventur t es of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Acquisition of UScellular Wireless Operations On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with UScellular pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select spectrum assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payabl a e in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through an exchange offe f r to be made to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the exchange, their bonds will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2025, subject to customary closing conditions and receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Following the closing of the transaction, UScellular will retain ownership of its other spectrum, as well as its towers. Subject to the closing of the transaction, we will enter into a 15-year master license agreement to lease space on at least 2,100 towers being retained and to extend our tenancy term on approximately 600 towers where we are already leasing space from UScellular for 15 years post-closing. We estimate the incremental future minimum lease payments associated with the master license agreement will be $1.4 billion over 15 years post-closing. Metronet Joint Venture On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR to establ a ish a joint ventur t e to acquire Metronet. This arrangement is expected to close in 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.9 billion in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding the joint ventur t e. We do not anticipate making further capital contributions following the closing under the existing business plan. For more information regarding the Metronet joint ventur t e, see Note 3 – Joint Ventur t es of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 45 Acquisition of Vistar Media Inc. On December 20, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Vistar Media Inc., for a purchase price of approximately $625 million. The purchase price is subject to certain agreed- upon working capital and other adju d stments. The acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. For more information regarding the acquisition of Vistar Media Inc., see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Off-B f alance Sheet Arrangements We have arrangements, as amended from time to time, to sell certain EIP accounts receivabl a e and service accounts receivabl a e on a revolving basis as a source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2024, we derecognized net receivables of $1.6 billion upon sale through these arrangements. For more information regarding these off-b f alance sheet arrangements, see Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivabl a es of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity We may seek additional sources of liquidity, including through the issuance of additional debt, to continue to opportuni t stically acquire spectrum licenses or other long-lived assets in private party transactions, repurchase shares, pay dividends or for the refinancing of existing long-term debt on an opportunistic basis. Excluding liquidity that could be needed for acquisitions of businesses, spectrum and other long-lived assets, or for any potential stockholder returns, we expect our principal sources of funding to be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next 12 months, as well as our longer-term liquidity needs. Our intended use of any such funds is for general corporate purpos r es, including for capi a tal expenditures, spectrum purchases, opportunistic investments and acquisitions, redemption of debt, tower obligations, share repurchases, and dividend payments. We determine future liquidity requirements for operations, capi a tal expenditures, share repurchases and dividend payments based in large part upon projected financial and operating performance, and opportunities to acquire additional spectrum or repurchase shares. We regularly review and update these projections for changes in current and projected financial and operating results, general economic conditions, the competitive landscape and other factors. We have incurred, and will incur, substantial expenses to comply with the Government Commitments, and we have incurred all of the remaining restructur t ing and integration costs associated with the Merger, with the cash expenditures for the Merger-related costs extending beyond 2024. There are a number of additional risks and uncertainties that could cause our financial and operating results and capi a tal requirements to differ materially from our projections, which could cause future liquidity to differ materially from our assessment. The indentur t es, supplemental indentur t es and credit agreements governing our long-term debt to affi f liates and third parties, excluding financing leases, contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers or borrowers and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to incur more debt, create liens or other encumbrances, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets. We were in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants as of December 31, 2024. Financing Lease Facilities We have uncommitted financing lease facilities with certain third parties that provide us with the ability to enter into financing leases for network equipment and services. As of December 31, 2024, we have entered into $9.9 billion of financing leases under these financing lease facilities, of which $1.2 billion was executed during the year ended December 31, 2024. We expect to enter into up to a total of $1.2 billion in financing lease commitments during the year ending December 31, 2025. Capi a tal Expe x nditures Our liquidity requirements for capi a tal expenditures have been driven primarily by capital expenditures for spectrum licenses, the construc r tion, expansion and upgrading of our network infrastruc r ture, the integration of the networks, spectrum, technology, personnel and customer base of T-Mobile and Sprint, which is substantially complete, and investments in information technology platforms. We expect to maintain our investment in capital expenditures related to these effo f rts in 2025 compared to 46 2024, as we continue to build out our nationwide 5G network and our digital transfor f mation. Future capital expenditure requirements will be primarily driven by the deployment of acquired spectrum licenses. For more information regarding our spectrum licenses, see Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum r License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Stockholder Returns On September 6, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized our 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program of up to $19.0 billion that ran from October 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024. The 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program consisted of repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 59,376,922 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $187.07 for a total purchase price of $11.1 billion, all of which were purchased under the 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid an aggregate of $3.3 billion, in cash dividends to our stockholders, which was presented within Net cash used in financing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On December 13, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized our 2025 Stockholder Return Program of up to $14.0 billion that will run through December 31, 2025. The 2025 Stockholder Return Program is expected to consist of additional repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The declaration and payment of all dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on financial and legal requirements and other considerations. The amount availabl a e under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us. The 2025 Stockholder Return Program is the next step consistent with the Company’s capital allocation framework outlined at its recent Capi a tal Markets Day. As discussed at Capi a tal Markets Day, the Company expects its business plan to support approximately $80.0 billion in investments and capi a tal returns between September 18, 2024, and the end of 2027. The Company currently plans to allocate such funds as follows: • Up to $50.0 billion for share repurchases and cash dividends, which includes the 2025 Stockholder Return Program; • Approximately $19.5 billion in a discretionary and flexible envelope for potential activities, which may include de- levering, investments in our core business, strategic investments, and/or additional capital returns to stockholders beyond the $50.0 billion initial allocation; and • Approximately $10.5 billion to complete pending transactions. See Note 2 - Business Combinations, Note 3 - Joint Ventur t es and Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets for additional information. On November 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which will be paid on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on Februa r ry 28, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $1.0 billion for dividends payabl a e is presented within Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, from January 1, 2025, through January 24, 2025, we repurchased 2,855,113 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $216.03 for a total purchase price of $617 million under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program. As of January 24, 2025, we had up to $13.4 billion remaining under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2025. For additional information regarding the 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program and the 2025 Stockholder Return Program, see Note 15 – Stockholder Return Programs of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 47 Contractual Obligations In connection with the regulatory appr a ovals of the Transactions, we made commitments to various state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice and FCC. For more infor f mation regarding these commitments, see Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On September 12, 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement to acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band fro f m Comcast in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion. On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum. Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for f the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion. The agreement, as amended, remains subject to an application for f FCC appr a oval. Total consideration for f this License Purchase Agreement is excluded from our reported purchase obligations above.

Under the terms of the Wireline Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to make payments pursuant to an IP transit services agreement totaling $700 million, consisting of (i) $350 million in equal monthly installments during the first year afte f r the closing and (ii) $350 million in equal monthly installments over the subsequent 42 months. For more information regarding the Wireline Transaction, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 48 Certain commitments and obligations are included in the tabl a e based on the year of required payment or an estimate of the year of payment. Other long-term liabi a lities have been omitted from the tabl a e above due to the uncertainty of the timing of payments, combined with the lack of historical trends to predict future payments. The purchase obligations reflected in the tabl a e above are primarily commitments to purchase spectrum licenses, wireless devices, network services, equipment, software, marketing sponsorship agreements and other items in the ordinary course of business. These amounts do not represent our entire anticipated purchases in the future but represent only those items for which we are contractua t lly committed. Where we are committed to make a minimum payment to the supplier regardless of whether we take delivery, we have included only that minimum payment as a purchase obligation. The acquisition of spectrum r licenses is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Related Party Transactions We have related party transactions associated with DT, SoftBank or their respective affi f liates in the ordinary course of business, including intercompany servicing and licensing. As of January 24, 2025, DT and SoftBank held, directly or indirectly, approximately 51.5% and 7.5%, respectively, of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, with the remaining approximately 41.0% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held by other stockholders. As a result of the Proxy, Lock-Up and ROFR Agreement, dated April 1, 2020, by and between DT and SoftBank, DT has voting control, as of January 24, 2025, over approximately 58.7% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock. Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and the Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Exchange Act. Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affi f liates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with designated natural persons or entities involved in terrorism or the prolifer f ation of weapons of mass destruction. Disclosure is required even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted outside the U.S. by non-U.S. affi f liates in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not the activities are sanctionabl a e under U.S. law. As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any activity, transaction or dealing by us or any of our affi f liates for the year ended December 31, 2024, that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, except as set forth below with respect to affi f liates that we do not control and that are our affi f liates solely due to their common control with either DT or SoftBank. We have relied upon DT and SoftBank for information regarding their respective activities, transactions and dealings. DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, is party to roaming and interconnect agreements with the following mobile and fixed line telecommunication providers in Iran, some of which are or may be government-controlled entities: Irancell Telecommunications Services Company, Telecommunication Kish Company, Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran, and Telecommunication Infrastructur t e Company of Iran. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided basic telecommunications services to five customers in Germany identifie f d on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Offi f ce of Foreign Assets Control: Bank Melli, Europäisch-Iranische Handelsbank, CPG Engineering & Commercial Services GmbH, Golgohar Trade and Technology GmbH and International Trade and Industrial Technology ITRITEC GmbH. These services have been terminated or are in the process of being terminated. For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross revenues of all DT affi f liates generated by roaming and interconnection traffi f c and telecommunications services with the Iranian parties identifie f d herein were less than $0.1 million, and the estimated net profits f were less than $0.1 million. In addition, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate a fixed-line network in their respective European home countries (in particular, Germany), provides telecommunications services in the ordinary course of business to the Embassy of Iran in those European countries. Gross revenues and net profit f s recorded from these activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, were less than $0.1 million. We understand that DT intends to continue these activities. Separately, SoftBank, through one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, provides roaming services in Iran through Irancell Telecommunications Services Company. During the year ended December 31, 2024, SoftBank had no gross revenues from such services, and no net profit f was generated. We understand that the SoftBank subsidiary intends to continue such services. This subsidiary also provides telecommunications services in the ordinary course of business to accounts affi f liated with the Embassy of Iran in Japa a n. During the year ended December 31, 2024, SoftBank estimates that gross revenues and net profit f 49 generated by such services were both under $0.1 million. We understand that the SoftBank subsidiary is obligated under contract and intends to continue such services. In addition, SoftBank, through one of its non-U.S. indirect subsidiaries, provides offi f ce supplies to the Embassy of Iran in Japa a n. SoftBank estimates that gross revenues and net profit f generated by such services during the year ended December 31, 2024, were both under $0.1 million. We understand that the SoftBank subsidiary intends to continue such activities. Critical Accounting Estimates Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition as they require that we use estimates and assumptions that may affe f ct the value of our assets or liabi a lities and financial results. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Two of these policies, discussed below, relate to critical estimates because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have reviewed and approved the accounting policies associated with these critical estimates. Depr e eciation Our property and equipment balance represents a significant component of our consolidated assets. We record property and equipment at cost, and we generally depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful f life of the assets. If all other factors were to remain unchanged, we expect that a one-year increase in the useful f lives of our in-service property and equipment would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $3.2 billion in our 2024 depreciation expense and that a one-year decrease in the useful f lifef would have resulted in an increase of approximately $4.6 billion in our 2024 depreciation expense. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 – Property and Equipment of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding depreciation of assets, including management’s underlying estimates of useful f lives. Income Taxe a s We account for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with the accounting guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position and adju d st the unrecognized tax benefits in light of changes in facts and circumstances, such as changes in tax law, interactions with taxing authorities and developments in case law. The income tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate are complex and subject to different interpretations by management and the relevant government taxing authorities. In establ a ishing a provision for income tax expense, we must make judgments about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. We must also make estimates about when in the future certain items will affe f ct taxabl a e income in the various tax jurisdictions. Our interpretations may be subjected to review during examination by taxing authorities and disputes may arise over the respective tax positions. We attempt to resolve these disputes during the tax examination and audit process and ultimately through the court system when applicable. We monitor relevant tax authorities and revise our estimate of accrue r d income taxes due to changes in income tax laws and their interpretation by the courts and regulatory authorities on a quarterly basis. Revisions of our estimate of accrue r d income taxes also may result from our own income tax planning and from the resolution of income tax controversies. Such revisions in our estimates may be material to our Income tax expense for any given quarter. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted For information regarding recently issued accounting standards, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 50 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to economic risks in the normal course of business, primarily from changes in interest rates, including changes in investment yields and changes in spreads due to credit risk and other factors. These risks, along with other business risks, impact our cost of capi a tal. Our policy is to manage exposure related to fluctuations in interest rates in order to manage capi a tal costs, control financial risks and maintain financial flexibility over the long term. We have establ a ished interest rate risk limits that are closely monitored by measuring interest rate sensitivities of our debt portfol f io. As of December 31, 2024, we held €2.0 billion in EUR-denominated Senior Notes, which are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have entered into cross-currency swap agreements that qualify f and have been designated as fair value hedges of our EUR-denominated debt, mitigating our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We do not foresee significant changes in the strategies used to manage market risk in the near future. Certain potential sources of financing availabl a e to us, including our Revolving Credit Facility, bear interest that is indexed to a benchmark rate plus a fixed margin. As of December 31, 2024, we did not have outstanding balances under these facilities. See Note 9 – Debt of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 51 Item 8. Financial Statements Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of T-Mobile US, Inc. Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of T-Mobile US, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria establ a ished in Internal Control — Integrated Framework r (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in confor f mity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effe f ctive internal control over fin f ancial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria establ a ished in Internal Control — Integrated Framework r (2013) issued by COSO. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effe f ctive internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effe f ctiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over fin f ancial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonabl a e assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effe f ctive internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included perfor f ming procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effe f ctiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonabl a e assurance regarding the reliabi a lity of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purpos r es in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonabl a e detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonabl a e assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effe f ct on the financial statements. 52 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effe f ctiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Revenues – Refe e r to Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements Critical Audit Matter Descript i ion The Company generates revenues from providing wireless communications services and selling devices and accessories to customers. The processing and recording of service revenues related to monthly wireless services billings is highly automated and is based on contractua t l terms with customers. Equipment revenues related to device and accessory sales are typically recognized at a point in time when control of the device or accessory is transfer f red to the customer or dealer. The Company’s service and equipment revenues consist of a significant volume of low-dollar transactions accumulated from multiple systems and databa a ses. Given the large volume of low-dollar service and equipment revenue transactions which are initiated, accumulated, and recorded in multiple systems and databa a ses, auditing service and equipment revenues was complex and challenging due to the extent of audit effo f rt required and the need for profes f sionals with expertise in information technology (IT) to identify, f evaluate, and test the Company’s systems, databa a ses, automated controls, and system interface controls. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addr d essed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the Company’s service and equipment revenue transactions included the following, among others: • With the assistance of our IT specialists, we: ◦ Identifie f d the relevant systems and databa a ses used to process service and equipment revenue transactions and tested the relevant IT controls over each of those systems and databa a ses. ◦ Performed testing of automated business controls and system interface controls within service and equipment revenues. • We tested internal controls in the revenue accounting processes, including those in place to (a) establ a ish revenue recognition accounting policies for promotional offe f rs, (b) record revenue and the related promotional offe f rs in accordance with the establ a ished accounting policies and (c) reconcile the various systems to the Company’s general ledger. • We created data visualizations to evaluate recorded service and equipment revenue and trends in the related subscriber data. • For a selection of wholesale service revenue and equipment revenue transactions, we compared the amounts recognized to contractua t l agreements or other source documents and tested the mathematical accuracy of the recorded revenue. • We developed an expectation of postpaid and prepaid service revenue amounts using historical service revenue and subscriber information and compared it to the recorded amount. • We tested the accuracy and completeness of the subscriber information used in our audit procedures by selecting a sample of the subscriber information and for those selections agreeing the selected subscriber information to supporting documentation. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Seattle, Washington January 31, 2025 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022. 53 T-Mobile US, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 – Summary of Signific f ant Accounting Policies Description of Business T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile,” “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a leading provider of wireless communications services, including voice, messaging and data, under its flagship brands, T-Mobile, Metro™by T-Mobile (“Metro by T-Mobile”) and Mint Mobile, in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Substantially all of our revenues were earned in, and substantially all of our long-lived assets are located in, the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We provide wireless communications services primarily using our 5G technology network and our 4G Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) network. We also offe f r a wide selection of wireless devices, including handsets, tabl a ets and other mobile communication devices, and accessories for sale, as well as financing through equipment installment plans (“EIP”). We provide reinsurance for device insurance policies and extended warranty contracts offe f red to our wireless communications customers. In addition to our wireless communications services, we offe f r High Speed Internet utilizing our nationwide 5G network. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of operations of T-Mobile and our consolidated subsidiaries. We consolidate majo a rity-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control, as well as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and VIEs, which cannot be deconsolidated, such as those related to our Tower obligations as discussed in Note 10 – Tower Obligations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We operate as a single operating segment. The preparation of financial statements in confor f mity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions which affe f ct our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which our management believes are reasonabl a e under the circumstances. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actua t l results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Receivables and Related Allowance for Credit Losses Accountst Receivable Accounts receivab a le balances are predominantly comprised of amounts currently due from customers (e.g., for wireless communications services), device insurance administrators, wholesale partners, other carriers and third-party retail channels. Accounts receivab a le are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their amortized cost basis (i.e., the receivables’ unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) as adju d sted for any written-off amounts relating to impairment), net of the allowance for credit losses. We have an arrangement to sell certain of our customer service accounts receivabl a e on a revolving basis, which are treated as sales of financial assets. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivabl a es for further information. Equipm i ent Installment Plan Receivables We offe f r certain customers the option to pay for their devices and other purchases in installments, generally over a period of 24 months, using an EIP. EIP receivabl a es are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their amortized cost basis (i.e., the receivabl a es’ UPB as adju d sted for any written-offf amounts due to impairment and unamortized discounts), net of the allowance for credit losses. At the time of an installment sale, we impute a discount for interest if the term exceeds 12 months as there is no stated rate of interest on the receivabl a es. The receivables are recorded at their present value, which is determined by discounting expected future cash payments at the imputed interest rate. This adju d stment results in a discount or reduction in the transaction price of the contract with a customer, which is allocated to the performance obligations of the arrangement such as Service and Equipment revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The imputed discount rate reflects a current market interest rate and includes a component for estimated credit risk underlying the EIP receivabl a e, reflecting the 59 estimated credit worthiness of the customer. The imputed discount on receivabl a es is amortized over the financed installment term using the effe f ctive interest method and recognized as Other revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The current portion of the EIP receivabl a es is included in Equipment installment plan receivabl a es, net and the long-term portion of the EIP receivabl a es is included in Equipment installment plan receivabl a es due afte f r one year, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have an arrangement to sell certain EIP receivables on a revolving basis, which are treated as sales of financial assets. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivabl a es for further information. Additionally, certain of our EIP receivabl a es included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets secure our asset-backed notes (“ABS Notes”). See Note 9 – Debt for further information. Allowance for Credit Losses We maintain an allowance for credit losses by applying an expected credit loss model. Each period, management assesses the appropriateness of the level of allowance for credit losses by considering credit risk inherent within each portfol f io segment (i.e., accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivable portfol f io segments) as of period end. Each portfol f io segment is comprised of pools of receivabl a es that are evaluated collectively based on similar risk characteristics. Our allowance levels consider estimated credit risk over the contractua t l life of the receivabl a es and are influenced by receivabl a e volumes, receivabl a e delinquency status t , historical loss experience and other conditions that affe f ct loss expectations, such as changes in credit and collections policies and forecasts of macroeconomic conditions. While we attribute portions of the allowance to our respective portfol f io segments, the entire allowance is availabl a e to credit losses related to the total receivabl a e portfol f io. We consider a receivabl a e past due and delinquent when a customer has not paid us by the contractua t lly specified payment due date. Account balances are written offf against the allowance for credit losses if collection effo f rts are unsuccessful f and the receivabl a e balance is deemed uncollectible (customer default), based on factors such as customer credit ratings as well as the length of time the amounts are past due. If there is a deterioration of our customers’ financial condition or if future actua t l default rates on receivabl a es in general differ frf om those currently anticipated, we will adju d st our allowance for credit losses accordingly. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of wireless devices and accessories, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates average cost. Shipping and handling costs paid to wireless device and accessories vendors as well as costs to refurbish used devices are included in the standard cost of inventory. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonabl a y predictabl a e costs of disposal and transportation. We record inventory write-downs to net realizable value for obsolete and slow-moving items based on inventory turnover trends and historical experience. Recourse Guarantee Liabilities and Deferred Purchase Price Assets In connection with the sales of certain service and EIP accounts receivabl a e pursuant to the sale arrangements, we have recourse guarantee liabi a lities, beginning on November 1, 2024, and deferred purchase price assets, prior to November 1, 2024, measured at fair value that are based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservabl a e Level 3 inputs, including estimated customer default rates and credit worthiness. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables for further information. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include assets that do not have indefinite lives, such as property and equipment and certain intangible assets. Propertyt and Equipm i ent Property and equipment consists of buildings and equipment, including certain network server equipment, wireless communications systems, leasehold improvements, capitalized software, leased wireless devices and construc r tion in progress. Wireless communications systems include assets to operate our wireless network and information technology data centers, including tower assets, leasehold improvements and asset retirement costs. Leasehold improvements include asset improvements other than those related to the wireless network. 60 Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments, if any, in Property and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We generally depreciate property and equipment over the period the property and equipment provide economic benefit using the straight-line method. Depreciable lifef studi t es are performed periodically to confir f m the appropriateness of depreciable lives for certain categories of property and equipment. These studi t es take into account actua t l usage, physical wear and tear, replacement history and assumptions about technology evolution. When these factors indicate the useful f lifef of an asset is different from the previous assessment, the remaining book value is depreciated prospectively over the adju d sted remaining estimated useful f life. f Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful f lives or the related lease term. Costs of majo a r replacements and improvements are capi a talized. Repair and maintenance expenditures which do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful f lifef are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Construc r tion costs, labor a and overhead incurred in the expansion or enhancement of our wireless network are capitalized. Capi a talization commences with pre-construc r tion period administrative and technical activities, which include obtaining zoning approvals and building permits, and ceases at the point at which the asset is ready for its intended use. We capitalize interest associated with the acquisition or construc r tion of certain property and equipment. Capi a talized interest is reported as a reduction in interest expense and depreciated over the useful f life of the related asset. We record an asset retirement obligation for the estimated fair value of legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset in the period in which the obligation is incurred. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, we recognize changes in the liabi a lity resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate. Over time, the liabi a lity is accreted to its present value and the capi a talized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful f lifef of the asset. Our obligations relate primarily to certain legal obligations to remediate leased property on which our network infrastructur t e and administrative assets are located. We capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or acquiring internal use software. Capi a talization of software costs commences once the final selection of the specific software solution has been made and management authorizes and commits to funding the software project and ceases once the project is ready for its intended use. Capi a talized software costs are included in Property and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful f lifef of the asset. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as maintenance and training costs, are expensed as incurred. Other Intangible Assets Intangible assets that do not have indefinite useful f lives are amortized over their estimated useful f lives. Customer relationships are amortized using the sum-of-t f he-years digits method. The remaining finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method. See Note 7 - Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets for further information. Impai m rment We assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverabl a e. If any indicators of impairment are present, we test recoverabi a lity. The carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverabl a e if the carrying value exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the asset or asset group’s carrying amount, then an impairment loss is recorded, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. Business Combinations Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business combination are generally recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value of identifiable assets, particularly intangibles, and liabi a lities acquired requires management to make estimates, which are based on all availabl a e information and in some cases assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset or liabi a lity. See Note 2 – Business Combinations for further discussion of our acquisitions. 61 Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifia f bl a e net assets acquired in a business combination and is assigned to our one reporting unit: wireless. Spectrum Licenses Spectrum licenses are carried at costs incurred to acquire the spectrum licenses and the costs to prepare the spectrum licenses for their intended use, such as costs to clear acquired spectrum licenses. The FCC issues spectrum licenses which provide us with the exclusive right to utilize designated radio frequency spectrum within specific geographic service areas to provide wireless communications services. Spectrum licenses are issued for a fixed period of time, typically up to 15 years; however, the FCC has granted license renewals routinely and at a nominal cost. The spectrum licenses acquired expire at various dates and we believe we will be able to meet all requirements necessary to secure renewal of our spectrum licenses at a nominal cost. Moreover, we determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractua t l, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful f lives of our spectrum r licenses. The utility of radio frequency spectrum does not diminish while activated on our network nor does it otherwise deteriorate over time. Therefor f e, we determined the spectrum licenses should be treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets. At times, we enter into agreements to sell or exchange spectrum licenses. Upon entering into a sale or exchange arrangement, if the transaction has been deemed to have commercial substance and the spectrum licenses meet the held for sale criteria, the licenses are classified as held for sale at their carrying value, as adju d sted for any impairment recognized, included in Other current assets or Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets until approval and completion of the sale or an exchange. Upon closing of the transaction, spectrum licenses acquired as part of an exchange of nonmonetary assets are recorded at fair value and the differ f ence between the fair value of the spectrum licenses obtained, carrying value of the spectrum licenses transfer f red and cash paid, if any, is recognized as a gain or loss on disposal of spectrum licenses included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Our fair value estimates of spectrum licenses are based on information for which there is little or no observabl a e market data. If the transaction lacks commercial substance or the fair value is not measurable, the acquired spectrum licenses are recorded at our carrying value of the spectrum assets transfer f red or exchanged. We have lease agreements (the “Agreements”) with various educational and non-profit f institutions that provide us with the right to use Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) spectrum licenses (known as “Educational Broadband Services” or “EBS” spectrum) in the 2.5 GHz band. The Agreements are typically for terms of five to 10 years with automatic renewal provisions, bringing the total term of the Agreements up to 30 years. A majo a rity of the Agreements include a right of first refusal to acquire, lease or otherwise use the license at the end of the automatic renewal periods. Leased FCC spectrum licenses are recorded as executory contracts, and contractua t l lease payments are recognized on a straight- line basis over the remaining term of the arrangement, including renewals, and are presented in Cost of services on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The spectrum licenses we hold plus the spectrum leases enhance the overall value of our spectrum licenses as the collective value is higher than the value of individual bands of spectrum within a specific geography. This value is derived from the ability to provide wireless service to customers across large geographic areas and maintain the same or similar wireless connectivity quality. This enhanced value from combining owned and leased spectrum licenses is referred to as an aggregation premium. The aggregation premium is a component of the overall fair value of our owned FCC spectrum licenses. Impai m rment We assess the carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our spectrum license portfol f io, for potential impairment annually as of December 31 or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate such assets might be impaired. We test goodwill on a reporting unit basis by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its book value. If the fair value exceeds the book value, then no impairment is measured. As of December 31, 2024, we have identified one reporting unit: wireless. The wireless reporting unit consists of all the assets and liabi a lities of T-Mobile US, Inc. 62 When assessing goodwill for impairment we may elect to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. If we do not perform a qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform a quantitative test. We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We employ a qualitative approach to assess the wireless reporting unit. The fair value of the wireless reporting unit is determined using a market approach, which is based on market capitalization. We recognize that market capitalization is subject to volatility and will monitor changes in market capi a talization to determine whether declines, if any, necessitate an interim impairment review. In the event market capitalization does decline below its book value, we will consider the length, severity and reasons for the decline when assessing whether potential impairment exists, including considering whether a control premium should be added to the market capitalization. We believe short-term fluctuations in share price may not necessarily reflect the underlying aggregate fair value. No events or change in circumstances have occurred that indicate the fair value of the wireless reporting unit may be below its carrying amount at December 31, 2024. We test our spectrum licenses for impairment on an aggregate basis, consistent with our management of the overall business at a national level. We may elect to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If we do not perform the qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, we calculate the estimated fair value of the intangible asset. If the estimated fair value of the spectrum licenses is lower than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. We employ the qualitative method. We estimate fair value of spectrum r licenses using the Greenfie f ld methodology. The Greenfield methodology values the spectrum licenses by calculating the cash flow generating potential of a hypothetical start-up company that goes into business with no assets except for the asset to be valued (in this case, spectrum r licenses) and makes investments required to build an operation comparable to current use. The value of the spectrum licenses is the present value of the cash flows of this hypothetical start-up company. We base the assumptions underlying the Greenfield methodology on a combination of market participant data and our historical results, trends and business plans. Future cash flows in the Greenfield methodology are based on estimates and assumptions of market participant revenues, EBITDA margin, network build-out period and a long-term growth rate for a market participant. The cash flows are discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital. No events or change in circumstances have occurred that indicate the fair value of the Spectrum licenses may be below their carrying amount at December 31, 2024. The valuation approaches utilized to estimate fair value for the purposes of the impairment tests of goodwill and spectrum licenses may require that management make difficult, subjective and complex judgements about matters that are inherently uncertain. If actua t l results or future expectations are not consistent with the assumptions used in our estimate of fair value, it may result in the recording of significant impairment charges on goodwill or spectrum licenses. The most significant assumptions within the valuation models are the discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital, revenues, EBITDA margins, capi a tal expenditures and long-term growth rate. For more information regarding our impairment assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets, see Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets. Fair Value Measurements We carry certain assets and liabi a lities at fair value. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer f a liabi a lity in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs based on the observabi a lity as of the measurement date, is as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabi a lities; Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabi a lities; and Level 3 Unobservabl a e inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Assets and liabi a lities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affe f ct the placement of assets and liabi a lities being measured within the fair value hierarchy. 63 The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable and Accounts payabl a e and accrue r d liabi a lities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of EIP receivabl a es approximate fair value as the receivabl a es are recorded at their present value using an imputed interest rate. With the exception of certain long-term fixed-rate debt, there were no financial instruments with a carrying value materially different from their fair value. See Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements for a comparison of the carrying values and fair values of our short-term and long-term debt. Foreign Currency Transactions On May 8, 2024, we issued €2.0 billion of euro (“EUR”) denominated debt. T-Mobile’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Each period, we convert activity and balances in EUR into USD using average exchange rates for the period for income statement amounts and using end-of-p f eriod or spot exchange rates for assets and liabi a lities. We record transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of transaction currency to functional currency as a component of Other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Derivative and Hedging Instruments The Company manages its exposure to foreign exchange rates and interest rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, including cross-currency swaps. We designate certain derivatives as accounting hedge relationships. We do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purpos r es. We record derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognize them as either assets or liabi a lities at fair value. Fair value is derived primarily from observabl a e market data, and our derivatives are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Cash flows associated with qualifying hedge derivative instruments are presented in the same category on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the item being hedged. For fair value hedges, other than foreign currency hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments is recognized in earnings through the same income statement line item as the change in the fair value of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, as well as fair value foreign currency hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the hedged item is recognized in earnings, again, through the same income statement line item. Revenue Recognition We primarily generate our revenue from providing wireless communications services and selling devices and accessories to customers. Our contracts with customers may involve more than one performance obligation, which include wireless services, wireless devices or a combination thereof, and we allocate the transaction price between each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Wireless Communications Services Revenue We generate our wireless communications services revenues from providing access to, and usage of, our wireless communications network. Service revenues also include revenues earned for providing premium services to customers, such as device insurance services. Generally, service contracts are billed monthly in advance of services being transfer f red or are prepaid. Service revenue is recognized as we satisfy our performance obligation to transfer f service to our customers. We typically satisfy our stand-ready performance obligations, including unlimited wireless services, evenly over the contract term as services are transfer f red to our customers. The enforceable duration of our postpaid service contracts with customers is typically one month. However, promotional EIP bill credits offe f red to a customer on an equipment sale that are paid over time and are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract may result in an extended service contract based on whether a substantive penalty is deemed to exist. Revenue is recorded net of costs paid to a third party for performance obligations where we facilitate an arrangement for the other party to transfer f goods or services to our customer (i.e., when we are acting as an agent). For example, performance obligations relating to services provided by third-party content providers where we neither control a right to the content provider’s service nor control the underlying service itself are presented net. Consideration payabl a e to a customer is treated as a reduction of the total transaction price, unless the payment is in exchange for a distinct good or service, such as certain commissions paid to dealers, in which case the payment is treated as a purchase of that distinct good or service. 64 Federal Universal Service Fund (“USF”) and state USF fees are assessed to T-Mobile by various governmental authorities in connection with the services we provide to our customers and are included in Cost of services. When we separately bill and collect these regulatory fees from customers, they are recorded gross in Total service revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recorded approximately $386 million, $317 million and $185 million, respectively, of USF fees on a gross basis. We have made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed to the customer by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer on behalf of the taxing agency (e.g., sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes). Equipm i ent Revenues We generate equipment revenues from the sale of mobile communication devices and accessories. Equipment revenues related to device and accessory sales are typically recognized at a point in time when control of the device or accessory is transfer f red to the customer or dealer. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur afte f r control of the related good transfer f s as fulfil f lment activities, as opposed to performance obligations. We estimate variable consideration (e.g., device returns or certain payments to indirect dealers) primarily based on historical experience. Equipment sales for which we determine it is not probabl a e that we will collect substantially all of the transaction price are generally recorded as payments are received. Our assessment of collectibility considers contract terms such as down payments that reduce our exposure to credit risk. We offe f r certain customers the option to pay for devices and accessories in installments using an EIP. This financing option is provided at a stated interest of zero and is typically over a 24-month period. We recognize as a reduction of the total transaction price the effe f cts of a financing component in contracts via the imputation of interest when customers purchase their devices and accessories on an EIP, including those financing components that are not considered to be significant to the contract. However, we have elected the practical expedient of not recognizing the effe f cts of a significant financing component for contracts where we expect, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer f of a performance obligation to a customer and the customer’s payment for that performance obligation will be one year or less. Impu m ted Interest on EIP I Receivables For EIP with a duration greater than one year, we record the effe f cts of financing via the imputation of interest. This is performed on all such EIP receivables regardless as to whether or not the financing is considered to be significant. The imputation of interest results in a discount of the EIP receivable, thereby adju d sting the transaction price of the contract with the customer, which is then allocated to the performance obligations of the arrangement. Judgment is required to determine the imputed interest rate. For EIP sales, the imputed rate used to adju d st the transaction price reflects current market interest rates, including the estimated credit risk of the underlying customers. Customer credit behavior is inherently uncertain. See “Receivabl a es and Related Allowance for Credit Losses” above, for additional discussion on how we assess credit risk. Contract Balances Generally, our devices and service plans are availabl a e at standard prices, which are maintained on price lists and published on our website and/or within our retail stores. For contracts that involve more than one product or service that are identifie f d as separate performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. The standalone selling price is the price at which we would sell the good or service separately, on a standalone basis, to similar customers in similar circumstances. A contract asset is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of our right to receive consideration (i.e., we must perform additional services in order to receive consideration). Amounts are recorded as receivabl a es when our right to consideration is unconditional. When consideration is received, or we have an unconditional right to consideration in advance of delivery of goods or services, a contract liabi a lity is recorded. The transaction price can include non-refundabl a e upfro f nt fees, which are allocated to the identifia f bl a e performance obligations. 65 Contract assets are included in Other current assets and Other assets and contract liabilities are included in Deferred revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further information. Contract Modifi i cations Our service contracts allow customers to frequently modify their contracts without incurring penalties, in many cases. For contract modifications, we evaluate the change in scope or price of the contract to determine if the modification should be treated as a separate contract, as if there is a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract, or if the modification should be considered a change associated with the existing contract. We typically do not have significant impacts from contract modifications. Contract Costst We incur certain incremental costs to obtain a contract that we expect to recover, such as sales commissions. We record an asset when these incremental costs to obtain a contract are incurred and amortize them on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer f to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. We capitalize postpaid sales commissions for service activation as costs to acquire a contract and amortize them on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, currently 24 months. For capitalized contract costs, determining the amortization period over which such costs are recognized as well as assessing the indicators of impairment requires judgment. Prepaid commissions are expensed as incurred as their estimated period of benefit does not extend beyond 12 months. Commissions paid upon device upgrade are not capitalized if the remaining customer contract is less than one year. Incremental costs to obtain equipment contracts (e.g., commissions paid on device and accessory sales) are recognized when the equipment is transfer f red to the customer. See Note 11 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further information. Wireline Business On September 6, 2022, Sprint Communications LLC, a Kansas limited liabi a lity company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sprint Communications”), Sprint LLC, a Delaware limited liabi a lity company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Cogent Infrastructur t e, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc., entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Wireline Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which Cogent Infrastructur t e, Inc. agreed to acquire the U.S. long-haul fiber network and operations (including the non-U.S. extensions thereof) of Sprint Communications and its subsidiaries (the “Wireline Business”). Such transactions contemplated by the Wireline Sale Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Wireline Transaction.” On May 1, 2023, Cogent Infrastructur t e, Inc. and the Company completed the Wireline Transaction. Under the terms of the Wireline Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to make payments pursuant to an IP transit services agreement totaling $700 million, consisting of (i) $350 million in equal monthly installments during the first year afte f r the closing and (ii) $350 million in equal monthly installments over the subsequent 42 months. The present value of the $700 million liability for fees payabl a e for IP transit services was recognized and treated as part of the consideration exchanged with the Buyer to complete the disposal transaction, as there is a remote likelihood we will use any more than a de minimis amount of the services under the IP transit services agreement. Therefor f e, we concluded the cash payment obligations under the IP transit services agreement were part of the consideration paid to the Buyer to facilitate the sale of the Wireline Business, and therefor f e, included in measuring the fair value less costs to sell of the Wireline Business disposal group. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $100 million and $183 million of the liability associated with the IP transit services agreement, including accrued interest, is presented within Other current liabilities, respectively, and $168 million and $255 million of this liabi a lity, including accrue r d interest, is presented within Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $1.1 billion within (Gain) loss on disposal group held for sale and a non-cash expense of $477 million within Impairment expense on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to the disposition of the Wireline Business. 66 Leases Cell Site, Retail Store and Offi f ce Facility Leases We are a lessee for non-cancelable operating and financing leases for cell sites, switch sites, retail stores, network equipment and offi f ce facilities. We recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liabi a lity for operating leases based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. The right-of-use asset for an operating lease is based on the lease liabi a lity. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term and renewal periods that are considered reasonabl a y certain. In addition, we have financing leases for certain network equipment. We recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liabi a lity for financing leases based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. The right-of-use asset for a finance lease is based on the lease liabi a lity. Expense for our financing leases is comprised of the amortization expense associated with the right- of-u f se asset and interest expense recognized based on the effe f ctive interest method. We include options to extend or terminate a lease when we are reasonabl a y certain that we will exercise that option. We consider several factors in assessing whether renewal periods are reasonabl a y certain of being exercised, including the continued maturation of our nationwide network, technological advances within the telecommunications industry and the availabi a lity of alternative sites. We have generally concluded we are not reasonabl a y certain to exercise the options to extend or terminate our leases. Therefor f e, as of the lease commencement date, our lease terms generally do not include these options. In determining the discount rate used to measure the right-of-use asset and lease liabi a lity, we use rates implicit in the lease, or if not readily availabl a e, we use our incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is based on an estimated secured rate comprised of a risk-free rate plus a credit spread as secured by our assets. Determining a credit spread as secured by our assets may require judgment. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”). Lease liabi a lities are not remeasured as a result of changes in the CPI; instead, changes in the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and are excluded from the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liabi a lity. These payments are recognized in the period in which the related obligation is incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Generally, we elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components in arrangements. We did not elect the short-term lease recognition exemption; as such, leases with terms shorter than 12 months are included as a right-of-use asset and lease liabi a lity. Rental revenues and expenses associated with co-location tower sites are presented on a net basis under Topic 842. See Note 17 – Leases for further information. Cell Tower Monetization Transactions In 2012, we entered into a prepaid master lease arrangement in which we as the lessor provided the rights to utilize tower sites and we leased back space on certain of those towers. Prior to our merger (the “Merger”) with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), Sprint entered into a similar lease-out and leaseback arrangement that we assumed in the Merger. These arrangements are treated as failed sale leasebacks in which the proceeds received are reported as a financing obligation. The principal payments on the tower obligations are included in Other, net within Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our historical tower site asset costs are reported in Property and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated. See Note 10 – Tower Obligations for further information. Sprint Retirement Pension Plan We provide the Sprint Retirement Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), which is a defined benefit pension plan providing postretirement benefits to certain employees. As of December 31, 2005, the Pension Plan was amended to freeze benefit plan accrua r ls for participants. 67 The investments in the Pension Plan are measured at fair value on a recurring basis each quarter using quoted market prices or the net asset value per share as a practical expedient. The projected benefit obligations associated with the Pension Plan are determined based on actuarial models utilizing mortality tabl a es and discount rates applied to the expected benefit term. See Note 13 – Employee Compensation and Benefit Plans for further information on the Pension Plan. Advertising Expense We expense the cost of advertising and other promotional expenditures to market our services and products as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, advertising expenses included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income were $3.1 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabi a lities are recognized based on temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabi a lities using enacted tax rates expected to be in effe f ct when these differences are realized. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of a deferred tax asset depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxabl a e income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions within the carryforward periods availabl a e. We account for uncertainty in income taxes recognized on our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position and adju d st the unrecognized tax benefits in light of changes in facts and circumstances, such as changes in tax law, interactions with taxing authorities and developments in case law. Other Comprehensive Income Other comprehensive income primarily consists of adju d stments, net of tax, related to reclassification of loss from cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, foreign currency translation, pension and other postretirement benefits. This is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized in earnings. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense for stock awards, which include restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), is measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized as expense, net of expected forfeitures, over the related service period. The fair value of stock awards is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, adju d sted for expected dividend yield. RSUs are recognized as expense using the straight-line method. PRSUs are recognized as expense following a graded vesting schedule with their performance reassessed and updated on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as changes in facts and circumstances warrant. Stockholder Return Programs On September 8, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $14.0 billion of our common stock through September 30, 2023 (the “2022 Stock Repurchase Program”). On September 6, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stockholder return program of up to $19.0 billion through December 31, 2024 (the “2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program”). The 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program consisted of additional repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. On December 13, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized our 2025 Stockholder Return Program of up to $14.0 billion that will run through December 31, 2025 (“2025 Stockholder Return Program”). The 2025 Stockholder Return Program is expected to consist of additional repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The amount availabl a e under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us. The cost of repurchased shares, including equity reacquisition costs and related taxes, is included in Treasury stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We accrue r the cost of repurchased shares and exclude such shares from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as of the trade date. We recognize a liabi a lity for share repurchases which have not settled and for which cash has not been paid in Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash payments to reacquire our shares, including equity reacquisition costs and related taxes, are included in Repurchases of common stock on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 68 Dividends declared are included as a reduction to Retained earnings on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize a liabi a lity for dividends declared but for which cash has not been paid in Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Dividend cash payments to stockholders are included in Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 15 - Stockholder Return Programs for further information. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effe f ct to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options, RSUs and PRSUs, calculated using the treasury stock method. See Note 16 – Earnings Per Share for further information. Variable Interest Entities VIEs are entities that lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity's operations through voting rights, do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The most common type of VIE is a special purpos r e entity (“SPE”). SPEs are commonly used in securitization transactions in order to isolate certain assets and distribute the cash flows from those assets to investors. SPEs are generally structur t ed to insulate investors from claims on the SPEs’ assets by creditors of other entities, including the creditors of the seller of the assets, these SPEs are commonly referred to as being bankrupt r cy remote. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the assets and liabi a lities of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party which has both the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could potentially be significant to the VIE. In assessing which party is the primary beneficiary, all the facts and circumstances are considered, including each party’s role in establ a ishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifyi f ng the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifyi f ng which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affe f cting the VIE (such as asset managers and servicers) or have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE. We consolidate VIEs when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary or when the VIE cannot be deconsolidated. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables, Note 9 – Debt and Note 10 – Tower Obligations for further information. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year Segm e ent Repor e ting Disclosures In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportabl a e Segment Disclosures.” The standard expands reportabl a e segment disclosure requirements for public business entities primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit f (referred to as the “significant expense principle”). We have adopted this standard for our fiscal year 2024 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafte f r and have applied this standard retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. See Note 12 – Segment Reporting for further information. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Income Tax a Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard enhances income tax disclosure requirements for all entities by requiring specified categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation tabl a e, disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, and providing clarific f ation 69 on uncertain tax positions and related financial statement impacts. The standard will be effe f ctive for us for our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effe f ctive for us beginning in our fiscal year 2025 annual financial statements, and we expect the adoption of the standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures. Disaggr a egation of Income Statement Expe x nses In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The standard will become effe f ctive for us for our fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafte f r and may be applied prospectively to periods afte f r the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effe f ctive for us beginning in our fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements, and we are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 – Business Combinations Acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation On March 9, 2023, we entered into a merger and unit purchase agreement (the “Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity of Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries, including, among others, Mint Mobile LLC (collectively, “Ka’ena”), for a maximum purchase price of $1.35 billion to be paid out 39% in cash and 61% in shares of T-Mobile common stock (the “Ka’ena Acquisition”). On March 13, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement, which amended, among other things, certain mechanics of the payment of the purchase consideration for the Ka’ena Acquisition, which resulted in a nominal increase in the percentage of cash compared to shares of T-Mobile common stock to be paid out as part of the total purchase price. Upon the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, on May 1, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), we completed the Ka’ena Acquisition, and as a result, Ka’ena became a wholly owned subsidiary of T-Mobile. Concurrently and as agreed upon through the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement, T-Mobile and Ka’ena entered into certain separate transactions, including the effe f ctive settlement of the preexisting wholesale arrangement between T-Mobile and Ka’ena and agreements with certain of the sellers to provide services to T-Mobile during the post- acquisition period. Ka’ena is a provider of prepaid mobile services in the U.S. through its primary brands, Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile, and also offe f rs a selection of wireless devices, including handsets and other mobile communication devices. Prior to the Ka’ena Acquisition, Ka’ena was a wholesale partner of the Company for which we recognized service revenues within Wholesale and other service revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and for which Ka’ena incurred related expenses for the use of our network. On the Acquisition Date, this relationship was effe f ctively terminated, and the Company acquired Ka’ena’s prepaid customer relationships and began to recognize service revenues associated with these customers within Prepaid revenues and operating expenses primarily within Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income subsequent to the Acquisition Date. The Ka’ena Acquisition enhances the Company’s position as a leading prepaid wireless carrier by diversifyi f ng our brand identities, enhancing our distribution footpr t int and preserving the value of our relationship with Ka’ena through its acquisition, including the acquisition of its prepaid customer relationships. The financial results of Ka’ena from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024, were not material to our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, nor were they material to our prior period consolidated results on a pro forma basis. Costs related to the Ka’ena Acquisition were not material to our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Consideration Transfer f red In accordance with the terms of the Merger and Unit Purchase Agreement, the total purchase price is variable, dependent upon specified performance indicators of Ka’ena, and consists of an upfro f nt payment on the Acquisition Date and an earnout payabl a e on August 1, 2026. On the Acquisition Date and in satisfaction of the upfro f nt payment, we transfer f red $420 million in cash and 3,264,952 shares of T-Mobile common stock valued at $536 million as determined based on its closing market price on April 30, 2024, for a total 70 payment fai f r value of $956 million. An additional amount of the upfro f nt payment payable to certain sellers was defer f red and may be paid through January 2026. As of the Acquisition Date, we recognized a liabi a lity of $27 million for the fair value of this deferred amount, which is included in the fair value of consideration transferred in the Ka’ena Acquisition. Furthermore, a portion of the upfro f nt payment made on the Acquisition Date was for the settlement of the preexisting wholesale relationship with Ka’ena and excluded fro f m the fair value of consideration transferred in the Ka’ena Acquisition. The amount of the upfron f t payment was subject to customary adjustments and as a result of such adjustments, $17 million of the upfro f nt payment was returned to T-Mobile during the fourth quarter of 2024, which resulted in a commensurate increase in the maximum amount payabl a e in satisfaction of the earnout. Based on the amount of the adjusted upfro f nt payment, up to an additional $420 million in fut f ur t e cash and T-Mobile common stock is payable in satisfac f tion of the earnout, dependent upon Ka’ena’s achievement of specified performance indicators. • $251 million of the potential earnout amount is payment for f the acquired Ka’ena business, and we recognized a liabi a lity of $191 million for f the fai f r value of such contingent consideration. This liability is adju d sted to fair value at each future reporting date until settled, with a corresponding offs f et recorded to Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. • $169 million of the potential earnout amount is payment for f services to be provided to T-Mobile by certain of the sellers during the post-acquisition period, as well as the replacement of equity awards of certain Ka’ena employees. We recognize expenses as such services are provided during the post-acquisition period within Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, with a corresponding offse f t to Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabi a lities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred in the Ka’ena Acquisition totaled $1.1 billion, comprised of the following: (in millions) May 1, 2024 Fair value of T-Mobile common stock issued to Ka’ena stockholders related to the adju d sted upfro f nt payment $ 527 Fair value of cash paid to Ka’ena stockholders related to the adju d sted upfro f nt payment 396 Fair value of contingent consideration 191 Fair value of defer f red consideration 27 Total fai f r value of consideration exchanged $ 1,141 The fai f r value of contingent consideration related to the earnout was estimated using the income appr a oach, a probabi a lity- weighted discounted cash flo f w model, whereby a Monte Carlo simulation method estimated the probabi a lity of different outcomes. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observabl a e in the market and, therefor f e, represents a Level 3 measurement as defin f ed in ASC 820. The key assumptions in applying the income appr a oach for the contingent consideration include forecasted Ka’ena financial infor f mation, primarily revenue, marketing costs and customer metrics, the probabi a lity of achieving the for f ecasted fin f ancial information and the discount rate. As of December 31, 2024, $202 million of liabi a lities for contingent consideration and $80 million of liabi a lities for f post- acquisition services were presented within Other long-term liabi a lities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair Value of A o ssets A t cquired and Liabilities Assumed We have accounted for the Ka’ena Acquisition as a business combination. The identifia f bl a e assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed fro f m Ka’ena were recorded at their provisionally assigned fai f r values as of the Acquisition Date and consolidated with those of T-Mobile. Assigning fair values to the assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed at the Acquisition Date requires the use of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. For the provisionally assigned fai f r values of the assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed, we used the cost and income approaches. 71 The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the provisionally assigned fai f r values for f each class of assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed at the Acquisition Date. We retained the services of certifie f d valuation specialists to assist with assigning values to certain acquired assets. We are in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed, including income tax-related amounts. Therefor f e, the provisionally assigned fai f r values set forth below are subject to adju d stment as additional infor f mation is obtained and the valuations are completed. (in millions) May 1, 2024 Cash and cash equivalents $ 24 Accounts receivabl a e 34 Inventory 3 Prepaid expenses 5 Other current assets 10 Property and equipment 1 Operating lease right-of-use assets 2 Goodwill 771 Other intangible assets 740 Other assets 51 Total assets acquired 1,641 Accounts payable and accrue r d liabi a lities 42 Deferred revenue 297 Short-term operating lease liabi a lities 1 Deferred tax liabi a lities 86 Operating lease liabi a lities 2 Other long-term liabi a lities 72 Total liabi a lities assumed 500 Total consideration transferred $ 1,141 Intangible Assets Goodwill with a provisionally assigned value of $771 million represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabi a lities assumed. The provisionally assigned goodwill recognized includes expected growth in customers and service revenues to be achieved fro f m the operations of the combined company, the assembled workfor f ce of Ka’ena and intangible assets that do not qualify f f or f separate recognition. Of the total provisionally assigned amount of goodwill resulting fro f m the Ka’ena Acquisition of $771 million, the preliminary amount deductible for tax purpos r es is $90 million. All of the goodwill acquired is allocated to the Wireless reporting unit. Other intangible assets acquired primarily include $545 million of customer relationships with an estimated weighted-average useful f life o f f six years, $70 million of tradenames with an estimated weighted-average useful f life o f f eight years and $125 million of other intangible assets with an estimated weighted-average useful f life o f f four f years. The customer relationships are being amortized using the sum-of-t f he-years digits method over their estimated useful lives, and the tradenames are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The preliminary fai f r value of customer relationships was estimated using the income appr a oach. This fai f r value measurement is based on significant inputs not observabl a e in the market, and, therefor f e, represents a Level 3 measurement as defin f ed in ASC 820. The key assumptions in applying the income appr a oach include forecasted subscriber churn rates, revenue over an estimated period of time, the discount rate and estimated income taxes. Acquisition of UScellular Wireless Operations On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with United States Cellular Corpor r ation (“UScellular”), Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., and USCC Wireless Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select AWS, PCS, 600 MHz, 700 MHz and other spectrum assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payabl a e in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through an exchange offe f r to be made to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the exchange, their bonds will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2025, subject to customary closing conditions and receipt of certain regulatory appr a ovals. Upon closing of the transaction, we expect to account for the UScellular transaction as a business combination and to consolidate the acquired operations. 72 Following the closing of the transaction, UScellular will retain ownership of its other spectrum, as well as its towers. Subject to the closing of the transaction, we will enter into a 15-year master license agreement to lease space on at least 2,100 towers being retained and to extend our tenancy term on approximately 600 towers where we are already leasing space from UScellular for 15 years post-closing. We estimate the incremental future minimum lease payments associated with the master license agreement will be $1.4 billion over 15 years post-closing. Acquisition of Vistar Media Inc. On December 20, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Vistar Media Inc., a provider of technology solutions for digital-out-of-home advertisements, for a purchase price of approximately $625 million. The purchase price is subject to certain agreed-upon working capital and other adju d stments. The acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Note 3 – Joint Ventures Lumos and Metronet Joint Ventures On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with a fund operated by EQT, Infrastructur t e VI fund (“Fund VI”), to establ a ish a joint ventur t e between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos (“Lumos”), a fiber-to-the-home platform, from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructur t e III. The arrangement is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $950 million in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing Lumos fiber customers. The funds invested by us will be used by the joint ventur t e to fund future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of approximately $500 million in 2027 or 2028 under the existing business plan. On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR & Co. Inc. (“KKR”) to establ a ish a joint ventur t e to acquire Metronet Holdings, LLC and certain of its affi f liates (collectively, “Metronet”), a fiber-to-the-home platform. This arrangement is expected to close in 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.9 billion in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding the joint ventur t e. We do not anticipate making further capital contributions following the closing under the existing business plan. Upon closing of the transactions, we expect to account for the Lumos and Metronet joint ventur t es under the equity method of accounting and recognize service revenues for the acquired Lumos and Metronet fiber customers and wholesale costs paid to the joint ventur t es for network access within Cost of services on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Note 4 – Receivables and Related Allowance for Credit Losses We maintain an allowance for credit losses by applying an expected credit loss model. Each period, management assesses the appropriateness of the level of allowance for credit losses by considering credit risk inherent within each portfol f io segment as of the end of the period. We consider a receivabl a e past due when a customer has not paid us by the contractua t lly specified payment due date. Account balances are written offf against the allowance for credit losses if collection effo f rts are unsuccessful f and the receivabl a e balance is deemed uncollectible (customer default), based on factors such as customer credit ratings as well as the length of time the amounts are past due. Our portfol f io of receivabl a es is comprised of two portfol f io segments: accounts receivable and equipment installment plan receivabl a es. Accountst Receivable Portfo t lio Segm e ent Accounts receivabl a e balances are predominately comprised of amounts currently due from customers (e.g., for wireless communications services), device insurance administrators, wholesale partners, other carriers and third-party retail channels. We estimate credit losses associated with our accounts receivabl a e portfol f io segment using an expected credit loss model, which utilizes an aging schedule methodology based on historical information and is adju d sted for asset-specific considerations, current economic conditions and reasonabl a e and supportabl a e forecasts. 73 Our appr a oach considers a number of fact f ors, including our overall historical credit losses and payment experience, as well as current collection trends such as write-off frequency and severity. We also consider other qualitative fact f ors such as current and forecasted macroeconomic conditions. We consider the need to adjust our estimate of credit losses for f reasonabl a e and supportabl a e for f ecasts of future macroeconomic conditions. To do so, we monitor external for f ecasts of changes in real U.S. gross domestic product and forecasts of consumer credit behavior for comparabl a e credit exposures. EIP R I eceivables Portfo t lio Segment Based upon customer credit profile f s at the time of customer origination, as well as subsequent credit performance, we classify the EIP receivabl a es segment into two customer classes of “Prime” and “Subprime.” Prime customer receivabl a es are those with lower credit risk, and Subprime customer receivabl a es are those with higher credit risk. Customers may be required to make a down payment on their equipment purchases if their assessed credit risk exceeds established underwriting thresholds. In addition, certain customers within the Subprime category may be required to pay a deposit. To determine a customer’s credit profile f and assist in determining their credit class, we use a proprietary credit scoring model that measures the credit quality of a customer leveraging several factors, such as credit bureau information and consumer credit risk scores, as well as service and device plan characteristics. EIP receivabl a es had a combined weighted-average effe f ctive interest rate of 11.1% and 10.6% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the EIP receivabl a es, including imputed discounts and related allowance for f credit losses: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 EIP receivabl a es, gross $ 7,402 $ 7,271 Unamortized imputed discount (524) (505) EIP receivabl a es, net of unamortized imputed discount 6,878 6,766 Allowance for f credit losses (290) (268) EIP receivabl a es, net of allowance for f credit losses and imputed discount $ 6,588 $ 6,498 Classified on our consolidated balance sheets as: Equipment installment plan receivabl a es, net of allowance for f credit losses and imputed discount $ 4,379 $ 4,456 Equipment installment plan receivabl a es due afte f r one year, net of allowance for f credit losses and imputed discount 2,209 2,042 EIP receivabl a es, net of allowance for f credit losses and imputed discount $ 6,588 $ 6,498 Many of our loss estimation techniques rely on delinquency-based models categorized by customer credit class; therefore f , delinquency is an important indicator of credit quality in the establ a ishment of our allowance for f credit losses for f EIP receivabl a es. We manage our EIP receivabl a es portfol f io segment using delinquency and customer credit class as key credit quality indicators. The fol f lowing tabl a e presents the amortized cost of our EIP receivabl a es by delinquency status, customer credit class and year of origination as of December 31, 2024: Originated in 2024 Originated in 2023 Originated prior to 2023 Total EIP Receivables, Net of Unamortized Imputed Discount (in millions) Prime Subprime Prime Subprime Prime Subprime Prime Subprime Total Current - 30 days past due $ 4,213 $ 1,109 $ 1,118 $ 283 $ 18 $ 6 $ 5,349 $ 1,398 $ 6,747 31 - 60 days past due 15 27 6 7 — — 21 34 55 61 - 90 days past due 9 19 4 6 — — 13 25 38 More than 90 days past due 7 17 5 7 1 1 13 25 38 EIP receivabl a es, net of unamortized imputed discount $ 4,244 $ 1,172 $ 1,133 $ 303 $ 19 $ 7 $ 5,396 $ 1,482 $ 6,878 74 We estimate credit losses on our EIP receivabl a es segment by appl a ying an expected credit loss model, which relies on historical loss data adju d sted for current conditions to calculate default probabi a lities or an estimate for the frequency of customer defau f lt. Our assessment of default probabi a lities or fre f quency includes receivabl a es delinquency status, historical loss experience, how long the receivabl a es have been outstanding and customer credit ratings, as well as customer tenure. We multiply these estimated default probabi a lities by our estimated loss given default, which is the estimated amount of default or the severity of loss. As we do for our accounts receivable portfol f io segment, we consider the need to adju d st our estimate of credit losses on EIP receivabl a es for reasonabl a e and supportabl a e for f ecasts of economic conditions through monitoring external forecasts and periodic internal statistical analyses. The fol f lowing tabl a e presents write-offs of our EIP receivabl a es by year of origination for f the year ended December 31, 2024: (in millions) Originated in 2024 Originated in 2023 Originated prior to 2023 Total Write-offs $ 201 $ 309 $ 68 $ 578 Activity for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, in the allowance for credit losses and unamortized imputed discount balances for the accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivabl a es segments were as follows: December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 (in millions) Accounts Receivable Allowance EIP Receivables Allowance Total Accounts Receivable Allowance EIP Receivables Allowance Total Accounts Receivable Allowance EIP Receivables Allowance Total lowance for f credit losses and imputed discount, beginning of period $ 161 $ 773 $ 934 $ 167 $ 811 $ 978 $ 146 $ 630 $ 776 Bad debt expense 592 600 1,192 440 458 898 433 593 1,026 Write-offs (577) (578) (1,155) (446) (518) (964) (412) (518) (930) Change in imputed discount on short- term and long-term EIP receivabl a es N/A 199 199 N/A 220 220 N/A 262 262 Impact on the imputed discount from sales of EIP receivabl a es N/A (180) (180) N/A (198) (198) N/A (156) (156) Allowance for f credit losses and imputed discount, end of period $ 176 $ 814 $ 990 $ 161 $ 773 $ 934 $ 167 $ 811 $ 978 Off-B f alance-Sheet Credit Expos x ures We do not have material off-b f alance-sheet credit exposures as of December 31, 2024. In connection with the sales of certain service accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivabl a es pursuant to the sale arrangements, we provide guarantees of credit performance (prior to November 1, 2024, this was defer f red purchase price assets) included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets measured at fair value that are based on a discounted cash flo f w model using Level 3 inputs, including estimated customer defau f lt rates and credit worthiness, dilutions and recoveries. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivabl a es for fur f ther information. Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivables We regularly enter into transactions to sell certain service accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivabl a es. The transactions, including our continuing involvement with the sold receivabl a es and the respective impacts to our consolidated financial statements, are described below. Sales of EIP Receivables Overview of the Tra T nsaction In 2015, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain EIP receivabl a es on a revolving basis (the “EIP Sale Arrangement”). The maximum fundi f ng commitment of the sale arrangement is $1.3 billion. On October 22, 2024, we extended the scheduled expiration date of the EIP Sale Arrangement to November 18, 2025. 75 As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the EIP Sale Arrangement provided fundi f ng of $1.3 billion. Sales of EIP receivables occur daily and are settled on a monthly basis. In connection with this EIP Sale Arrangement, we for f med a wholly owned subsidiary, which qualifie f s as a bankrupt r cy remote entity (the “EIP BRE”). Pursuant to the EIP Sale Arrangement, selected receivabl a es are transferred to the EIP BRE. The EIP BRE then sells the receivabl a es to a non-consolidated and unaffiliated third-party entity over which we do not exercise any level of control, nor does the third-party entity qualify a f s a VIE. Variable Int I erest Entity We determined that the EIP BRE is a VIE, as its equity investment at risk lacks the obligation to abs a orb a r certain portion of its expected losses. We have a variabl a e interest in the EIP BRE and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary based on our ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the EIP BRE’s economic performance. Those activities include selecting which receivables are transfer f red into the EIP BRE and sold in the EIP Sale Arrangement and fundi f ng of the EIP BRE. Additionally, our equity interest in the EIP BRE obligates us to absorb losses and gives us the right to receive benefits from the EIP BRE that could potentially be significant to the EIP BRE. Accordingly, we include the balances and results of operations of the EIP BRE in our consolidated financial statements. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of assets, which consist primarily of the defer f red purchase price, and liabi a lities, which consist of the recourse guarantee, included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to the EIP BRE: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Other current assets $ 1 $ 348 Other assets — 103 Other current liabi a lities 81 — Other long-term liabi a lities 32 — In addition, the EIP BRE is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, prior to any liquidation of the EIP BRE, to be satisfied prior to any value in the EIP BRE becoming availabl a e to us. Accordingly, the assets of the EIP BRE may not be used to settle our general obligations, and creditors of the EIP BRE have no recourse to our general credit. Sales of Service Accounts Receivable Overview of the Tra T nsaction In 2014, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain service accounts receivabl a e on a revolving basis (the “Service Receivable Sale Arrangement”). The maximum fun f ding commitment of the Service Receivabl a e Sale Arrangement is $950 million, and the facility expires in February 2025. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Service Receivable Sale Arrangement provided fundi f ng of $775 million. Sales of receivables occur daily and are settled on a monthly basis. The receivabl a es consist of service charges currently due from customers and are short-term in nature. In connection with the Service Receivabl a e Sale Arrangement, we for f med a wholly owned subsidiary, which qualifie f s as a bankrupt r cy remote entity, to sell service accounts receivabl a e (the “Service BRE”). Pursuant to the amended Service Receivabl a e Sale Arrangement, selected receivabl a es are transferred to the Service BRE.The Service BRE then sells the receivabl a es to a non-consolidated and unaffiliated third-party entity over which we do not exercise any level of control and which does not qualify a f s a VIE. Variable Int I erest Entity We determined that the Service BRE is a VIE, as its equity investment at risk lacks the obligation to abs a orb a r certain portion of expected losses. We have a variabl a e interest in the Service BRE and have determined that we are the primary beneficiary based on our ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Service BRE’s economic performance. Those activities include selecting which receivabl a es are transferred into the Service BRE and sold in the Service Receivabl a e Sale Arrangement and fundi f ng the Service BRE. Additionally, our equity interest in the Service BRE obligates us to absorb losses and gives us the right to receive benefits from the Service BRE that could potentially be significant to the Service BRE. Accordingly, we include the balances and results of operations of the Service BRE in our consolidated financial statements. 76 The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of assets, which consists primarily of the defer f red purchase price, and liabi a lities included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to the Service BRE: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Other current assets $ — $ 209 Other current liabi a lities 328 373 In addition, the Service BRE is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, prior to any liquidation of the Service BRE, to be satisfied prior to any value in the Service BRE becoming availabl a e to us. Accordingly, the assets of the Service BRE may not be used to settle our general obligations, and creditors of the Service BRE have no recourse to our general credit. Sales of Receivables The transfers of service accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivabl a es to the non-consolidated entities are accounted for as sales of financial assets. Once identifie f d for f sale, the receivabl a e is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Upon sale, we derecognize the net carrying amount of the receivabl a es. We recognized the cash proceeds received upon sale in Net cash provided by operating activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On October 22, 2024, we executed an amendment to the EIP Sale Arrangement and an amendment to the Service Receivabl a e Sale Arrangement (together, the “Pledge Amendments”). Prior to the effective date of the Pledge Amendments, the credit enhancement feat f ur t e of each of the EIP Sale Arrangement and the Service Receivabl a e Sale Arrangement was in the form of a deferred purchase price. Pursuant to the Pledge Amendments, effective on November 1, 2024, the credit enhancement fea f ture of each arrangement is replaced by a recourse guarantee liabi a lity, which is collateralized by pledged but unsold receivabl a es. On November 1, 2024, we re-recognized $193 million of gross service accounts receivables and $604 million of gross EIP receivabl a es. Prior to the effe f ctive date of the Pledge Amendments, cash proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions in the for f m of the deferred purchase price were presented within Net cash used in investing activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Following the effective date of the Pledge Amendments, all cash proceeds associated with sold receivabl a es are recognized within Net cash provided by operating activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The recourse guarantee, and prior to the effe f ctive date of the Pledge Amendments, the deferred purchase price, represents a financial instrum r ent that is primarily tied to the creditworthiness of our customers. At inception, we elected to measure the recourse guarantee liabi a lities at fai f r value with changes in fai f r value included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The fai f r value of the recourse guarantee liabilities is determined based on a discounted cash flow model which uses primarily Level 3 inputs, including customer default rates. As of December 31, 2024, our recourse guarantee liabi a lities related to the sales of service receivabl a es and EIP receivabl a es was $148 million, as collateralized by $286 million of gross service receivabl a es and $505 million of gross EIP receivables pledged but unsold, which represent our maximum exposure under the recourse guarantee. As of December 31, 2023, our deferred purchase price assets related to the sales of service receivabl a es and EIP receivabl a es was $658 million. 77 The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the impact of the sales of certain service receivabl a es and EIP receivabl a es on our Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Derecognized net service accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivabl a es $ 1,616 $ 2,388 Other current assets 1 557 of which, defe e rred purchase price — 555 Other assets — 103 of which, defe e rred purchase price — 103 Other current liabi a lities 409 373 of which, recourse r guarantee 116 — Other long-term liabi a lities 32 — of which, recourse r guarantee 32 — Net cash proceeds since inception 1,468 1,583 Of which: Change in net cash proceeds during the year-to-date period (115) (114) Net cash proceeds funde f d by reinvested collections 1,583 1,697 We recognized losses fro f m sales of receivabl a es, including changes in fai f r value of the defer f red purchase price assets as well as the recourse guarantee liabilities beginning on November 1, 2024, of $62 million, $165 million and $214 million for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Continuing Involvement Pursuant to the EIP Sale Arrangement and Service Receivable Sale Arrangement described above a , we have continuing involvement with the service accounts receivabl a e and EIP receivables we sell, as we service the receivabl a es, are required to replace certain receivabl a es, including ineligible receivables, aged receivabl a es and receivabl a es where a write-off is imminent, and may be responsible for abs a orbi r ng credit losses through performance under our recourse guarantee liabi a lities. We continue to service the customers and their related receivabl a es, including facilitating customer payment collection, in exchange for a monthly servicing fee. As the receivabl a es are sold on a revolving basis, the customer payment collections on sold receivables may be reinvested in new receivabl a e sales. At the direction of the purchasers of the sold receivabl a es, we appl a y the same policies and procedures while servicing the sold receivabl a es as we apply to our owned receivabl a es, and we continue to maintain normal relationships with our customers. Note 6 – Property and Equipment The components of property and equipment, excluding amounts transferred to held for f sale, were as fol f lows: (in millions) Useful Lives December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 nd $ 69 $ 72 Buildings and equipment Up to 30 years 4,377 4,465 Wireless communications systems Up to 20 years 65,778 65,628 Leasehold improvements Up to 10 years 2,588 2,489 Capi a talized software Up to 8 years 18,566 22,573 Leased wireless devices Up to 16 months 145 400 Construc r tion in progress N/A 3,377 3,286 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (56,367) (58,481) Property and equipment, net $ 38,533 $ 40,432 Total depreciation expense relating to property and equipment and financing lease right-of-use assets was $12.1 billion, $12.0 billion and $12.7 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts include depreciation expense related to leased wireless devices of $54 million, $170 million and $1.1 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 78 We capitalize interest associated with the acquisition or construc r tion of certain property and equipment and spectrum intangible assets. We recognized capitalized interest of $34 million, $104 million and $61 million for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Asset retirement obligations are primarily for certain legal obligations to remediate leased property on which our network infrastructur t e and administrative assets are located. Activity in our asset retirement obligations was as fol f lows: (in millions) Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Asset retirement obligations, beginning of year $ 1,716 $ 1,852 Liabilities incurred 21 28 Liabilities settled (307) (399) Accretion expense 69 71 Changes in estimated cash flo f ws 36 164 Asset retirement obligations, end of period $ 1,535 $ 1,716 Classified on the consolidated balance sheets as: Other current liabi a lities $ 109 $ 133 Other long-term liabi a lities 1,426 1,583 The corresponding assets, net of accumulated depreciation, related to asset retirement obligations were $423 million and $462 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, is as follows: (in millions) Goodwill Balance as of December 31, 2022, net of accumulated impairment losses of $10,984 $ 12,234 Balance as of December 31, 2023 12,234 Preliminary goodwill from the Ka’ena Acquisition in 2024 771 Balance as of December 31, 2024, net of accumulated impairment losses of $10,984 $ 13,005 Goodwill Impairment Assessment Certain non-financial assets, including goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as Spectrum licenses, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for f impairment when events or circumstances indicate that carrying value may not be recoverabl a e, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The nonrecurring measurements of the fai f r value of these assets, for f which observabl a e market infor f mation may be limited, are classified within Level 3 of the fai f r value hierarchy. In the event an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value using market-based assumptions, to the extent they are availabl a e, as well as other assumptions that may require significant judgment. For our annual assessment of the wireless reporting unit, we employed a qualitative appr a oach. The fair value of the wireless reporting unit was estimated using a market appr a oach, which is based on market capitalization. In addition to performing an assessment under the market approach we also considered any events or change in circumstances that occurred, noting no indication that the fair value of the wireless reporting unit may be below its carrying amount at December 31, 2024. 79 Spectrum Licenses The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes our spectrum license activity for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022: (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Spectrum licenses, beginning of year $ 96,707 $ 95,798 $ 92,606 Spectrum license acquisitions 4,822 103 3,152 Spectrum licenses transferred to held for f sale (1,024) (2) (64) Costs to clear spectrum 53 808 104 Spectrum licenses, end of year $ 100,558 $ 96,707 $ 95,798 Cash payments to acquire spectrum r licenses and payments for costs to clear spectrum are included in Purchases of spectrum licenses and other intangible assets, including deposits, on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Spectrum Auctions In January 2022, the FCC announced that we were the winning bidder of 199 licenses in Auction 110 (3.45 GHz spectrum) for an aggregate purchase price of $2.9 billion. In September 2022, the FCC announced that we were the winning bidder of 7,156 licenses in Auction 108 (2.5 GHz spectrum r ) for an aggregate price of $304 million. At inception of Auction 108 in June 2022, we deposited $65 million. We paid the FCC the remaining $239 million for f the licenses won in the auction in September 2022. On Februa r ry 29, 2024, the FCC issued to us the licenses won in Auction 108, and substantially all of these licenses were deployed in March 2024. The licenses are included in Spectrum licenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. Spectrum Exc E hange Tra T nsactions During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized non-cash spectrum r license acquisitions associated with the closing of certain spectrum exchange transactions of $1.2 billion, including $985 million associated with the closing of an agreement with a third party for f the exchange of certain of our 39 GHz spectrum licenses for f certain of their 24 GHz spectrum license on October 15, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized gains associated with the closing of certain spectrum exchange transactions of $202 million, including a $137 million gain associated with the closing of an agreement with a third party for the exchange of certain of our 39 GHz spectrum licenses for f certain of their 24 GHz spectrum license on October 15, 2024, as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. There were no gains or losses associated with spectrum exchange transactions during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. License Purchase Agreements DISH I Network C r orpor r ation On July 1, 2020, we and DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “DISH License Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which DISH agreed to purchase certain 800 MHz spectrum licenses for f a total of approximately $3.6 billion. On October 15, 2023, we and DISH entered into an amendment (the “LPA Amendment”) to the DISH License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed that (1) DISH will pay us a $100 million non-refundabl a e extension fee (in lieu of the appr a oximately $72 million termination fee that had previously been agreed to), (2) the closing for f the purchase of the spectrum r licenses by DISH will occur no later than April 1, 2024, (3) if DISH has not purchased the spectrum licenses by such date for f any reason (including failure to receive the required FCC approval prior to such date), then the DISH License Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate, and we will retain the $100 million extension fee, (4) if DISH does purchase the spectrum by April 1, 2024, the $100 million extension fee f will be credited against the $3.6 billion purchase price, and (5) we are permitted to commence auction of the spectrum prior to April 1, 2024 at our discretion (and subject to DISH’s purchase right). The LPA Amendment was approved by the Court and became effe f ctive on October 23, 2023. On October 25, 2023, we received a payment of $100 million fro f m DISH for f the extension fee and recorded a corresponding liability within Other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. DISH did not purchase the 800 MHz spectrum by April 1, 2024. As such, we recognized a gain for f the $100 million extension fee previously paid by DISH during the year ended December 31, 2024, within Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and relieved the liabi a lity that was initially recorded upon receipt of the 80 payment. On October 1, 2024, we concluded the auction process for the disposition of the spectrum as required under the final judgment agreed to by us, Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”), Sprint LLC, SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) and DISH with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which was approved by the Court on April 1, 2020, to offe f r the licenses for sale. We did not receive a qualifyi f ng bid and have been relieved of the obligation to sell the spectrum licenses. We are currently exploring alternatives to sell or utilize the spectrum licenses. Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC On August 8, 2022, we, Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC (together with Channel 51 License Co LLC, the “Sellers”) entered into License Purchase Agreements pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from the Sellers in exchange for total cash consideration of $3.5 billion. The licenses will be acquired without any associated networks and are currently being utilized by us through exclusive leasing arrangements with the Sellers. On March 30, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements pursuant to which we and the Sellers agreed to separate the transaction into two tranches of licenses, with the closings on the acquisitions of certain licenses in Chicago, Dallas and New Orleans being deferred in order to potentially expedite the regulatory approval process for the remainder of the licenses. Subsequently, on August 25, 2023, we and the Sellers entered into Amendments No. 1 to the Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreements, which deferred the closings of certain additional licenses in Chicago and Dallas into the second closing tranche. Together, the licenses with closings deferred into the second closing tranche represent $1.1 billion of the aggregate $3.5 billion cash consideration. The licenses being acquired by us, and the total consideration being paid for the licenses, remain the same under the original License Purchase Agreements and subsequent amendments. The FCC approved the purchase of the first tranche on December 29, 2023. The first tranche closed on June 24, 2024, and the associated payment of $2.4 billion was made on August 5, 2024. The FCC approved the purchase of the Dallas licenses included in the second tranche on October 22, 2024. The purchase of the Dallas licenses closed on December 6, 2024, and the associated payment of $541 million was made on the same day. We anticipate that the remaining deferred licenses from the second tranche of $604 million will close in 2025. The parties have agreed that each of the closings will occur within 180 days afte f r the receipt of the applicable required regulatory approvals, and payment of each portion of the aggregate $3.5 billion purchase price will occur no later than 40 days afte f r the date of each respective closing. Comcast Corporation On September 12, 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with Comcast Corporation and its affi f liate, Comcast OTR1, LLC (together with Comcast Corporation, “Comcast”), pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Comcast in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion, subject to an application for FCC approval. The licenses will be acquired without any associated networks. We anticipate the closing will occur in the first half of 2028. The final purchase price will be determined, in the aggregate and on a per license basis, based on the set of licenses subject to the License Purchase Agreement at the time the parties make required transfer f filings with the FCC. Prior to the time of such filings, Comcast has the right to remove any or all of a certain specified subset of the licenses, totaling $2.1 billion (the “Optional Sale Licenses”), from the License Purchase Agreement. The removal of any Optional Sale Licenses would reduce the final purchase price by the assigned value of each such license, from the maximum purchase price of $3.3 billion. The licenses are subject to an exclusive leasing arrangement between us and Comcast, which were entered into contemporaneously with the License Purchase Agreement. If Comcast elects to remove an Optional Sale License from the License Purchase Agreement, the associated lease for such Optional Sale License will terminate, but no sooner than two years from the date of the License Purchase Agreement (with us having a minimum period of time afte f r any such termination to cease transmitting on such license’s associated spectrum). On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum r . Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion. 81 N77 License Co LLC On September 10, 2024, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with N77 License Co LLC (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer has the option to purchase all or a portion of our remaining 3.45 GHz spectrum licenses in exchange for a range of cash consideration, with the specific licenses sold to be determined based upon the amount of committed fin f ancing raised by Buyer. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the licenses subject to the License Purchase Agreement were held at cost of $2.7 billion in Spectrum licenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We maintain the right to terminate the License Purchase Agreement no later than Februa r ry 7, 2025, as we did not receive written notice of committed fin f ancing as of December 9, 2024, from the Buyer at or above a a certain target level of cash consideration. The transaction is subject to FCC appr a oval. We do not expect the transaction to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Impai m rment Assessment For our assessment of Spectrum license impairment, we employed a qualitative appr a oach. No events or change in circumstances have occurred that indicate the fai f r value of the Spectrum licenses may be below its carrying amount at December 31, 2024. Other Intangible Assets The components of Other intangible assets were as follows: Useful Lives December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in millions) Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Amount Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Amount Customer relationships (1) Up to 8 years $ 5,427 $ (4,123) $ 1,304 $ 4,883 $ (3,451) $ 1,432 Reacquired rights Up to 9 years 770 (323) 447 770 (231) 539 Tradenames and patents (1) Up to 19 years 338 (157) 181 208 (134) 74 Favorable spectrum leases Up to 27 years 620 (169) 451 686 (148) 538 Other (1) Up to 10 years 478 (349) 129 353 (318) 35 Other intangible assets $ 7,633 $ (5,121) $ 2,512 $ 6,900 $ (4,282) $ 2,618 (1) Includes intangible assets acquired in the Ka’ena Acquisition. See Note 2 - Business Combinations for more infor f mation. Amortization expense for f intangible assets subject to amortization was $857 million, $888 million and $1.2 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The estimated aggregate fut f ur t e amortization expense for f intangible assets subject to amortization is summarized below: (in millions) Estimated Future Amortization Twelve Months Ending December 31, 2025 $ 749 2026 571 2027 404 2028 253 2029 171 Thereafte f r 364 Total $ 2,512 Substantially all of the estimated fut f ur t e amortization expense is associated with intangible assets acquired through our business combinations. 82 Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable and Accounts payable and accrue r d liabi a lities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instrum r ents. The carrying values of EIP receivabl a es approximate fair value as the receivabl a es are recorded at their present value using an imputed interest rate. Derivative Financial Instrumentst We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, such as exposure to flu f ctua t tions in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifyi f ng hedge accounting relationship to mitigate fluctuations in values or cash flows related to such risks caused by for f eign currency or interest rate volatility. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purpos r es. Cash flows associated with qualifying hedge derivative instrum r ents are presented in the same category on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the item being hedged. For fai f r value hedges, other than for f eign currency hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrum r ents is recognized in earnings through the same income statement line item as the change in the fai f r value of the hedged item. For cash flo f w hedges, as well as fair value for f eign currency hedges, the change in the fai f r value of the derivative instruments is reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the hedged item is recognized in earnings, again, through the same income statement line item. We record derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fai f r value that is derived primarily from observabl a e market data, including exchange rates, interest rates and forward curves. These market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flo f w calculation considering the instrument's term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to derivative valuations are generally observabl a e in active markets and, as such, are classified as Level 2 in the fai f r value hierarchy. Cross-Currency S c waps a We enter into cross-currency swaps a to offs f et changes in value of our payments on foreign-denominated debt in USD and to mitigate the impact of for f eign currency transaction gains and losses. On April 30, 2024, we entered into cross-currency swap a a greements, with the same notional amounts as the EUR-denominated debt issuance on May 8, 2024, to effe f ctively convert €2.0 billion to USD borrowings, with the same maturities of fiv f e, eight and 12 years. The swaps a qualify and have been designated as fai f r value hedges of our EUR-denominated debt, mitigating our exposure to for f eign currency transaction gains and losses. Accordingly, all changes in the fair value of the swaps will be initially recorded through Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to earnings in an amount that exactly offs f ets the periodic transaction gain or loss on remeasuring the debt, such that there will be no earnings volatility due to changes in for f eign-currency exchange rates. Transaction gains or losses on remeasuring the EUR-denominated debt, as well as the offs f etting swap a a mounts, are recorded within Other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Changes in the fair value of the swaps may be different from the current period transaction gain or loss on remeasurement of the debt, in which case the difference will remain in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These diffe f rences generally represent credit or liquidity risk, refer f red to as a basis spread, and the time value of money (“excluded components”). The value of the excluded components is recognized in earnings using a systematic and rational method by accrui r ng the current-period swap s a ettlements into Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If an amount remains in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheets upon settlement of the derivative, those amounts will be reclassified to earnings at that time. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the activity of our cross-currency swaps a : (in millions) Year Ended December 31, 2024 Other income (expense), net Pre-tax transaction gain on remeasurement of EUR-denominated debt $ 79 Amount recognized in Other income (expense), net reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss (79) Accumulated other comprehensive loss Amount recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss reclassified to Other income (expense), net $ 79 Loss associated with the change in fair value of cross-currency swaps a recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (58) 83 Interest Rate Lock Derivatives In April 2020, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives entered into in October 2018. Aggregate changes in the fair value of our interest rate lock derivatives, which were terminated in April 2020, of $960 million and $1.1 billion are presented in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, $236 million, $219 million and $203 million, respectively, were amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Interest expense, net, on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We expect to amortize $254 million of the Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the derivatives into Interest expense, net, over the 12 months ending December 31, 2025. Recourse r Guarantee Liabilities and Defer f red Purchase Price Assets In connection with the sales of certain service and EIP accounts receivabl a e, we have recourse guarantee liabi a lities, and prior to the effective date of the Pledge Amendments, defer f red purchase price assets, measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservabl a e Level 3 inputs, including estimated customer defau f lt rates and credit worthiness, dilutions and recoveries. See Note 5 – Sales of Certain Receivabl a es for fur f ther information. The carrying amount of our recourse guarantee liabi a lities was $148 million as of December 31, 2024. The carrying amount of our deferred purchase price assets was $658 million as of December 31, 2023. Both of which are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for f the periods indicated. Debt The fai f r values of our Senior Notes and spectrum-backed Senior Secured Notes to third parties were determined based on quoted market prices in active markets. Accordingly, our Senior Notes and spectrum-backed Senior Secured Notes to third parties were classifie f d as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fai f r value of our Senior Notes to affiliates was determined based on market interest rates of instruments with similar terms and matur t ities. Accordingly, our Senior Notes to affiliates were classified as Level 2 within the fai f r value hierarchy. The fai f r value of our Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated) and asset-backed notes (“ABS Notes”) was primarily based on quoted prices in inactive markets for identical instruments and observabl a e changes in market interest rates, both of which are Level 2 inputs. Accordingly, our Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated) and ABS Notes were classified as Level 2 within the fai f r value hierarchy. Although we have determined the estimated fai f r values using availabl a e market infor f mation and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, judgment was required in interpr r eting market data to develop fair value estimates for f the Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated), Senior Notes to affiliates and ABS Notes. The fai f r value estimates were based on information availabl a e as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. As such, our estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize in a current market exchange. The carrying amounts and fair values of our short-term and long-term debt included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: (in millions) Level within the Fair Value Hierarchy December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Liabilities: Senior Notes to third parties 1 $ 71,783 $ 65,631 $ 70,493 $ 65,962 Senior Notes to third parties (EUR-denominated) 2 2,058 2,125 — — Senior Notes to affiliates 2 1,497 1,491 1,496 1,499 Senior Secured Notes to third parties 1 1,361 1,330 2,281 2,207 ABS Notes to third parties 2 1,566 1,570 748 748 84 Note 9 – Debt Debt was as fol f lows: n millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 7.125% Senior Notes due 2024 $ — $ 2,500 3.500% Senior Notes due 2025 3,000 3,000 4.738% Series 2018-1 A-1 Notes due 2025 131 656 7.625% Senior Notes due 2025 — 1,500 1.500% Senior Notes due 2026 1,000 1,000 2.250% Senior Notes due 2026 1,800 1,800 2.625% Senior Notes due 2026 1,200 1,200 7.625% Senior Notes due 2026 1,500 1,500 3.750% Senior Notes due 2027 4,000 4,000 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 500 500 2.050% Senior Notes due 2028 1,750 1,750 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028 1,500 1,500 4.750% Senior Notes to affiliates due 2028 1,500 1,500 4.800% Senior Notes due 2028 900 900 4.910% Class A Senior ABS Notes due 2028 570 750 4.950% Senior Notes due 2028 1,000 1,000 5.152% Series 2018-1 A-2 Notes due 2028 1,194 1,562 6.875% Senior Notes due 2028 2,475 2,475 2.400% Senior Notes due 2029 500 500 2.625% Senior Notes due 2029 1,000 1,000 3.375% Senior Notes due 2029 2,350 2,350 3.550% Senior Notes due 2029 (EUR-denominated) 621 — 4.200% Senior Notes due 2029 700 — 4.250% Class A Senior ABS Notes due 2029 500 — 4.850% Senior Notes due 2029 1,000 — 5.050% Class A Senior ABS Notes due 2029 500 — 3.875% Senior Notes due 2030 7,000 7,000 2.250% Senior Notes due 2031 1,000 1,000 2.550% Senior Notes due 2031 2,500 2,500 2.875% Senior Notes due 2031 1,000 1,000 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 2,450 2,450 2.700% Senior Notes due 2032 1,000 1,000 3.700% Senior Notes due 2032 (EUR-denominated) 777 — 8.750% Senior Notes due 2032 2,000 2,000 5.050% Senior Notes due 2033 2,600 2,600 5.200% Senior Notes due 2033 1,250 1,250 5.150% Senior Notes due 2034 1,250 — 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 1,000 1,000 4.700% Senior Notes due 2035 900 — 3.850% Senior Notes due 2036 (EUR-denominated) 673 — 4.375% Senior Notes due 2040 2,000 2,000 3.000% Senior Notes due 2041 2,500 2,500 4.500% Senior Notes due 2050 3,000 3,000 3.300% Senior Notes due 2051 3,000 3,000 3.400% Senior Notes due 2052 2,800 2,800 5.650% Senior Notes due 2053 1,750 1,750 5.750% Senior Notes due 2054 1,250 1,250 6.000% Senior Notes due 2054 1,000 1,000 5.250% Senior Notes due 2055 900 — 5.500% Senior Notes due 2055 750 — 3.600% Senior Notes due 2060 1,700 1,700 5.800% Senior Notes due 2062 750 750 Unamortized premium on debt to third parties 775 1,011 Unamortized discount on debt to third parties (223) (223) Debt issuance costs and consent fees f (278) (263) Total debt 78,265 75,018 Less: Current portion of Senior Notes 4,068 3,619 Total long-term debt $ 74,197 $ 71,399 85 Long-term debt was classified as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Long-term debt $ 72,700 $ 69,903 Long-term debt to affi f liates 1,497 1,496 Total long-term debt $ 74,197 $ 71,399 Our effect f ive interest rate, excluding the impact of derivatives and capitalized interest, was approximately 4.1% and 4.0% on weighted-average debt outstanding of $78.3 billion and $75.4 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The weighted-average debt outstanding was calculated by appl a ying an average of the monthly ending balances of total short-term and long-term debt to third parties and short-term and long-term debt to affi f liates, net of unamortized premiums, discounts, debt issuance costs and consent fee f s. Senior Notes The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries. They are redeemable at our discretion, in whole or in part, at any time. The redemption price is calculated by refer f ence to the date on which such notes are redeemed and generally includes a premium that steps down gradually as the Senior Notes approach their par call date, on or afte f r which they are redeemable at par. The amount of time by which the par call date precedes the matur t ity date of the respective series of Senior Notes varies from one month to three years.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not have an outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. 86 Note Redemptions and Repaymentst During the year ended December 31, 2024, we made the fol f lowing note redemptions and repayments: (in millions) Principal Amount Payment Date 7.125% Senior Notes due 2024 $ 2,500 June 15, 2024 7.625% Senior Notes due 2025 1,500 November 15, 2024 Total Redemptions $ 4,000 4.738% Secured Series 2018-1 A-1 Notes due 2025 $ 525 Various 5.152% Series 2018-1 A-2 Notes due 2028 368 Various 4.910% Class A Senior ABS Notes due 2028 180 Various Total Repayments $ 1,073 Asset-backed Notes In connection with issuing the ABS Notes, we for f med a wholly owned subsidiary, which qualifie f s as a bankrupt r cy remote entity (the “ABS BRE”), and a trus r t (the “ABS Trust” and together with the ABS BRE, the “ABS Entities”), in which the ABS BRE holds a residual interest. The ABS BRE’s residual interest in the ABS Trust represents the rights to all funds not needed to make required payments on the ABS Notes and other related payments and expenses. Under the terms of the ABS Notes, our wholly owned subsidiary, T-Mobile Financial LLC (“FinCo”), and certain of our other wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Originators”) transfer EIP receivabl a es to the ABS BRE, which in turn transfer f s such receivabl a es to the ABS Trus r t, which issued the ABS Notes. The Class A senior ABS Notes have an expected weighted average life o f f appr a oximately 2.5 years. Under the terms of the transaction, there is a two-year revolving period during which we may transfer additional receivabl a es to the ABS Entities as collections on the receivabl a es are received. The EIP receivabl a es transfer f red to the ABS Entities and related assets, consisting primarily of restricted cash, will only be availabl a e for f payment of the ABS Notes and expenses related thereto, payments to the Originators in respect of additional transfers of device payment plan agreement receivabl a es, and other obligations arising fro f m our ABS Notes transactions, and will not be availabl a e to pay our other obligations until the associated ABS Notes and related obligations are satisfied. The third-party investors in the Class A senior ABS Notes have legal recourse only to the assets of the ABS Trus r t securing the ABS Notes and do not have any recourse to T-Mobile with respect to the payment of principal and interest. The receivabl a es transfer f red to the ABS Trust will only be availabl a e for f payment of the ABS Notes and other obligations arising fro f m the transaction and will not be availabl a e to pay any obligations or claims of T-Mobile’s creditors. Under a parent support agreement, T-Mobile has agreed to guarantee the performance of the obligations of FinCo, which will continue to service the receivabl a es, and the other T-Mobile entities participating in the transaction. However, T-Mobile does not guarantee any principal or interest on the ABS Notes or any payments on the underlying EIP receivabl a es. Cash collections on the EIP receivables are required at certain specifie f d times to be placed into segregated accounts. Deposits to the segregated accounts are considered restricted cash and are included in Other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, $1.6 billion of our ABS Notes were secured in total by $2.0 billion of gross EIP receivables and future collections on such receivabl a es. Our ABS Notes and the assets securing this debt are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expected maturities of our ABS Notes as of December 31, 2024, were as follows: (in millions) Expected Maturities 2025 $ 570 2026 594 2027 406 Total $ 1,570 87 Variable Int I erest Ent E ities The ABS Entities meet the defin f ition of a VIE for f which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary as we have the power to direct the activities of the ABS Entities that most significantly impact their performance. Those activities include selecting which receivables are transfer f red into the ABS Entities, servicing such receivabl a es, and funding of the ABS Entities. Additionally, our equity interest and residual interest in the ABS BRE and the ABS Trust, respectively, obligate us to abs a orb r losses and give us the right to receive benefits from the ABS Entities that could potentially be significant to the ABS Entities. Accordingly, we include the balances and results of operations of the ABS Entities in our consolidated financial statements. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabi a lities included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to the ABS Entities: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Assets Equipment installment plan receivabl a es, net $ 1,472 $ 739 Equipment installment plan receivabl a es due afte f r one year, net 352 168 Other current assets 151 101 Liabilities Accounts payable and accrue r d liabi a lities 2 1 Short-term debt 570 198 Long-term debt 996 550 See Note 4 – Receivabl a es and Related Allowance for f Credit Losses for f additional infor f mation on the EIP receivabl a es used to secure the ABS Notes. Spectrum Financing On April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we assumed Sprint’s spectrum-backed notes, which are collateralized by the acquired, directly held and third-party leased Spectrum licenses (collectively, the “Spectrum Portfol f io”) transfer f red to wholly owned bankrupt r cy-remote special purpos r e entities (collectively, the “Spectrum Financing SPEs”). As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total outstanding obligations under these Notes were $1.3 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. In October 2016, certain subsidiaries of Sprint Communications, Inc. transferred the Spectrum Portfol f io to the Spectrum Financing SPEs, which was used as collateral to raise an initial $3.5 billion in senior secured notes (the “2016 Spectrum- Backed Notes”) bearing interest at 3.360% per annum under a $7.0 billion securitization program. The 2016 Spectrum-Backed Notes were repayable over a five-year term, with interest-only payments over the first fou f r quarters and amortizing quarterly principal payments thereafte f r commencing December 2017 through September 2021. We fully repaid the 2016 Spectrum r - Backed Notes in 2021. In March 2018, Sprint issued approximately $3.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “2018 Spectrum-Backed Notes” and together with the 2016 Spectrum-Backed Notes, the “Spectrum-Backed Notes”) under the existing $7.0 billion securitization program, consisting of two series of senior secured notes. The first series of notes totaled $2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount, bears interest at 4.738% per annum, and has quarterly interest-only payments until June 2021, with additional quarterly principal payments commencing in June 2021 through March 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $131 million of the aggregate principal amount was classified as Short-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The second series of notes totaled appr a oximately $1.8 billion in aggregate principal amount, bears interest at 5.152% per annum, and has quarterly interest-only payments until June 2023, with additional quarterly principal payments commencing in June 2023 through March 2028. As of December 31, 2024, $368 million of the aggregate principal amount was classified as Short-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Spectrum Portfol f io, which also serves as collateral for f the Spectrum- Backed Notes, remains substantially identical to the original portfol f io from October 2016. Simultaneously with the October 2016 offe f ring, Sprint Communications, Inc. entered into a long-term lease with the Spectrum Financing SPEs for f the ongoing use of the Spectrum Portfol f io. Sprint Communications, Inc. is required to make monthly lease payments to the Spectrum Financing SPEs in an aggregate amount that is market-based relative to the spectrum usage rights as of the closing date and equal to $165 million per month. The lease payments, which are guaranteed by T-Mobile subsidiaries subsequent to the Merger, are suffi f cient to service all outstanding series of the 2016 Spectrum-Backed Notes and the lease also 88 constitut t es collateral for the senior secured notes. Because the Spectrum r Financing SPEs are wholly owned T-Mobile subsidiaries subsequent to the Merger, these entities are consolidated and all intercompany activity has been eliminated. Each Spectrum Financing SPE is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the respective Spectrum Financing SPE, to be satisfied out of the Spectrum Financing SPE’s assets prior to any assets of such Spectrum Financing SPE becoming availabl a e to T-Mobile. Accordingly, the assets of each Spectrum Financing SPE are not availabl a e to satisfy the debts and other obligations owed to other creditors of T-Mobile until the obligations of such Spectrum r Financing SPE under the Spectrum-Backed Notes are paid in full. Certain provisions of the Spectrum Financing facility require us to maintain specifie f d cash collateral balances. Amounts associated with these balances are considered to be restricted cash. Restricted Cash Certain provisions of our debt agreements require us to maintain specified cash collateral balances. Amounts associated with these balances are considered to be restricted cash. Commercial Paper On July 25, 2023, we establ a ished an unsecured short-term commercial pape a r program with the ability to borrow up to $2.0 billion from time to time. This program supplements our other availabl a e external financing arrangements, and proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purpos r es. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no outstanding balance under this program. Standby Letters of Credit For the purpos r es of securing our obligations to provide device insurance services and for the purpos r es of securing our general purpos r e obligations, we maintain an agreement for standby letters of credit with certain financial institutions. Our outstanding standby letters of credit were $152 million and $238 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. ECA Facility Subsequent to December 31, 2024, on January 31, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, T-Mobile USA, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions, backed by an Export Credit Agency (the “ECA Facility”), providing for a loan of up to $1.0 billion to finance network equipment-related purchases. The obligations under the ECA Facility are also guaranteed by us and by all of our wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to customary exceptions). Any borrowing under the ECA Facility will mature on March 15, 2036. As of January 31, 2025, the ECA Facility is undrawn. Note 10 – Tower Obligations Existing CCI Tower Lease Arrangements In 2012, we conveyed to Crown Castle International Corp. (“CCI”) the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 6,200 tower sites (“CCI Lease Sites”) via a master prepaid lease with site lease terms ranging from 23 to 37 years. CCI has fixed-price purchase options for the CCI Lease Sites totaling approximately $2.0 billion, exercisabl a e annually on a per-tranche basis at the end of the lease term during the period from December 31, 2035, through December 31, 2049. If CCI exercises its purchase option for any tranche, it must purchase all the towers in the tranche. We lease back a portion of the space at certain tower sites. Assets and liabi a lities associated with the operation of the tower sites were transfer f red to special purpos r e entities (“SPEs”). Assets included ground lease agreements or deeds for the land on which the towers are situated, the towers themselves and existing subleasing agreements with other mobile network operator tenants that lease space at the tower sites. Liabilities included the obligation to pay ground lease rentals, property taxes and other executory costs. We determined the SPEs containing the CCI Lease Sites (“Lease Site SPEs”) are VIEs as they lack sufficient equity to finance their activities. We have a variable interest in the Lease Site SPEs but are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Lease Site SPEs’ economic performance. These activities include managing tenants and underlying ground leases, performing repair and maintenance on the towers, the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive the expected future residual returns from the purchase option to acquire the CCI Lease 89 Sites. As we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling fin f ancial interest in the Lease Site SPEs, the Lease Site SPEs are not included on our consolidated financial statements. However, we also considered if this arrangement resulted in the sale of the CCI Lease Sites for f which we would derecognize the tower assets. By assessing whether control had transfer f red, we concluded that transfer of control criteria, as discussed in the revenue standard, were not met. Accordingly, we recorded this arrangement as a fin f ancing whereby we recorded debt, a financial obligation, and the CCI Lease Sites tower assets remained on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded long- term financial obligations in the amount of the net proceeds received and recognize interest on the tower obligations. The tower obligations are increased by interest expense and amortized through contractua t l leaseback payments made by us to CCI and through net cash flo f ws generated and retained by CCI fro f m the operation of the tower sites. Acquired CCI Tower Lease Arrangements Prior to the Merger, Sprint entered into a lease-out and leaseback arrangement with Global Signal Inc., a third party that was subsequently acquired by CCI, that conveyed to CCI the exclusive right to manage and operate approximately 6,400 tower sites (“Master Lease Sites”) via a master prepaid lease. These agreements were assumed upon the close of the Merger, at which point the remaining term of the lease-out was appr a oximately 17 years with no renewal options. CCI has a fixed price purchase option for all (but not less than all) of the leased or subleased sites for f approximately $2.3 billion, exercisabl a e one year prior to the expiration of the agreement and ending 120 days prior to the expiration of the agreement. We lease back a portion of the space at certain tower sites. We considered if this arrangement resulted in the sale of the Master Lease Sites for f which we would derecognize the tower assets. By assessing whether control had transfer f red, we concluded that transfer of control criteria, as discussed in the revenue standard, were not met. Accordingly, we recorded this arrangement as a fin f ancing whereby we recorded debt, a financial obligation, and the Master Lease Sites tower assets remained on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize interest expense on the tower obligations. The tower obligations are increased by the interest expense and amortized through contractua t l leaseback payments made by us to CCI. The tower assets are reported in Property and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated to their estimated residual values over the expected useful f life o f f the towers, which is 20 years. Leaseback Arrangement On January 3, 2022, we entered into an agreement (the “Crown Agreement”) with CCI. The Crown Agreement extends the current term of the leasebacks by up to 12 years and modifies the leaseback payments for f both the Existing CCI Tower Lease Arrangements and the Acquired CCI Tower Lease Arrangements. As a result of the Crown Agreement, there was an increase in our financing obligation as of the effe f ctive date of the Crown Agreement of approximately $1.2 billion, with a corresponding decrease to Other long-term liabi a lities associated with unfav f orable contract terms. The modification resulted in a revised interest rate under the effe f ctive interest method for the tower obligations: 11.6% for the Existing CCI Tower Lease Arrangements and 5.3% for the Acquired CCI Tower Lease Arrangements. There were no changes made to either of our master prepaid leases with CCI. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the balances associated with both of the tower arrangements on our Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Property and equipment, net $ 2,069 $ 2,220 Tower obligations 3,664 3,777 Other long-term liabi a lities 554 554 Future minimum payments related to the tower obligations are appr a oximately $380 million for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2025, $788 million in total for both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2026 and 2027, $835 million in total for f both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2028 and 2029, and $3.7 billion in total thereafter. We are contingently liabl a e for f future ground lease payments through the remaining term of the CCI Lease Sites and the Master Lease Sites. These contingent obligations are not included in Operating lease liabi a lities, as any amount due is contractua t lly owed by CCI based on the subleasing arrangement. Under the arrangement, we remain primarily liabl a e for f ground lease 90 payments on approximately 900 sites and have included lease liabi a lities of $251 million in our Operating lease liabi a lities as of December 31, 2024. Note 11 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers Disaggregation of Revenue We provide wireless communications services to three primary categories of customers: • Postpaid customers generally include customers who are qualified to pay after receiving wireless communications services utilizing phones, High Speed Internet, mobile internet devices (including tabl a ets and hotspots), wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices (including SyncUP and IoT); • Prepaid customers generally include customers who pay for f wireless communications services in advance; and • Wholesale customers include Machine-to-Machine and Mobile Virtua t l Network Operator customers that operate on our network but are managed by wholesale partners. Postpa t id service revenues, including postpaid phone revenues and postpaid other revenues, were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Postpaid service revenues Postpa t id phone revenues $ 45,762 $ 43,449 $ 41,711 Postpa t id other revenues 6,578 5,243 4,208 Total postpaid service revenue $ s 52,340 $ 48,692 $ 45,919 The balances presented in each revenue line item on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income represent categories of revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of product and service. Postpa t id and prepaid service revenues also include revenues earned for f providing premium services to customers, such as device insurance services. Revenue generated fro f m the lease of mobile communication devices is included in Equipment revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Contract Balances The contract asset and contract liabi a lity balances from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows: (in millions) Contract Assets Contract Liabilities Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 607 $ 812 Balance as of December 31, 2024 720 1,219 Change $ 113 $ 407 Contract assets primarily represent revenue recognized for f equipment sales with promotional bill credits offe f red to customers that are paid over time and are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract. The change in the contract asset balance reflects customer activity related to new promotions, offset by billings on existing contracts and impairment, which is recognized as bad debt expense. The current portion of our contract assets of $492 million and $495 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was included in Other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabi a lities are recorded when fees are collected, or we have an unconditional right to consideration (a receivabl a e) in advance of delivery of goods or services. Changes in contract liabi a lities are primarily related to the activity of prepaid customers, including customers acquired through the Ka’ena Acquisition. Contract liabi a lities are primarily included in Defer f red revenue on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 91 Revenues for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, include the fol f lowing: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Amounts included in the beginning of year contract liabi a lity balance $ 787 $ 747 $ 760 maining Perfor f mance Obligations As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining service performance obligations for postpaid contracts with subsidized devices and promotional bill credits that result in an extended service contract is $1.5 billion. We expect to recognize revenue as the service is provided on these postpaid contracts over an extended contract term of 24 months from the time of origination. Information about a remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less has been excluded fro f m the above, which primarily consists of monthly service contracts. Certain of our wholesale, roaming and service contracts include variable consideration based on usage and performance. This variable consideration has been excluded fro f m the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the contractua t l minimum consideration for f wholesale, roaming and service contracts is $1.4 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion for 2025, 2026 and 2027 and beyond, respectively. These contracts have a remaining duration ranging from less than one year to seven years. Contract Costs The balance of deferred incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers was $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion for f December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred contract costs incurred to obtain postpaid service contracts are amortized over a period of 24 months. The amortization period is monitored to reflect any significant change in assumptions. Amortization of defer f red contract costs included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income were $2.0 billion, $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The defer f red contract cost asset is assessed for f impairment on a periodic basis. There were no impairment losses recognized on deferred contract cost assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Note 12 – Segment Reporting We manage our business activities on a consolidated basis and operate as a single operating segment: Wireless. We primarily derive our revenue in the United States by providing wireless communications services to customers using our wireless networks and selling devices that provide customers access to our wireless networks. The accounting policies of the Wireless segment are the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Offic f er, G. Michael Sievert. The CODM uses Net income, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, in evaluating performance of the Wireless segment and determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole, including investing in our networks and customers, stockholder retur t n programs and acquisition strategy. The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the results of the Wireless segment, and therefor f e, such information is not presented. 92 The fol f lowing tabl a e provides the operating fin f ancial results of our Wireless segment: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Total revenues $ 81,400 $ 78,558 $ 79,571 Less: Significant and other segment expenses Cost of equipment sales 18,882 18,533 21,540 Employee expenses 7,041 7,629 7,626 Lease expense 5,066 5,398 6,998 Advertising expense 3,067 2,515 2,306 Bad debt expense 1,192 898 1,026 Other segment items (1) 15,223 16,526 18,317 Impairment expense — — 477 (Gain) loss on disposal group held for sale — (25) 1,087 Depreciation and amortization 12,919 12,818 13,651 Interest expense, net 3,411 3,335 3,364 Other (income) expense, net (113) (68) 33 Income tax expense 3,373 2,682 556 Segment net income $ 11,339 $ 8,317 $ 2,590 (1) Other segment items included in Segment net income primarily includes certain third-party commissions, external labor and services and backhaul expenses. Note 13 – Employee Compensation and Benefit Plans In June 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the T-Mobile US, Inc. 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which replaced the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the Sprint Corpor r ation Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan that T-Mobile assumed in connection with the closing of the Merger (collectively, with the 2023 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). Under the 2023 Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 33 million shares of our common stock and can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and PRSUs to eligible employees, consultants, advisors and non- employee directors. As of December 31, 2024, there were appr a oximately 29 million shares of common stock availabl a e for f future grants under the 2023 Plan. We grant RSUs to eligible employees, key executives and certain non-employee directors and PRSUs to eligible key executives. RSUs entitle the grantee to receive shares of our common stock upon vesting (with vesting generally occurring annually over a three-year service period), subject to continued service through the appl a icable vesting date. PRSUs entitle the holder to receive shares of our common stock at the end of a performance period of generally up to three years, if the applicable performance goals are achieved, and generally subject to continued service through the appl a icable performance period. The number of shares ultimately received by the holder of PRSUs is dependent on our business performance against the specified performance goal(s) over a pre-establ a ished performance period. We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), under which eligible employees can purchase our common stock at a discounted price. Stock-based compensation expense and related income tax benefits were as follows: As of and for the Year Ended December 31, (in millions, except shares, per share and contractual life a f mounts) 2024 2023 2022 Stock-based compensation expens $ e 649 $ 667 $ 596 Income tax benefit f related to stock-based compensation $ 129 $ 130 $ 114 Weighted-average fair value per stock award granted $ 162.99 $ 143.09 $ 126.89 Unrecognized compensation expense $ 645 $ 637 $ 635 Weighted-average period to be recognized (years) 1.8 1.8 1.8 Fair value of stock awards vested $ 820 $ 889 $ 743 Stock Awards The fol f lowing activity occurred under the Incentive Plans during the year ended December 31, 2024: Time-Based Restricted Stock Uni U ts (in millions, except shares, per share and contractual life a f mounts) Number of Units or Awards Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Nonvested, December 31, 2023 7,755,943 $ 136.67 0.9 $ 1,244 Prior year grant adjustment (351) 142.60 Granted 3,775,434 163.72 Vested (4,375,499) 135.88 Forfei f ted (518,292) 149.33 Nonvested, December 31, 2024 6,637,235 151.55 0.8 1,465 Perfor f mance-Based Restricted Stock Unitst (in millions, except shares, per share and contractual life a f mounts) Number of Units or Awards Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Nonvested, December 31, 2023 689,806 $ 145.32 1.0 $ 111 Granted 146,154 164.65 Performance award achievement adju d stments (1) 95,503 131.26 Vested (372,099) 127.55 Nonvested, December 31, 2024 559,364 159.79 0.9 123 (1) Represents PRSUs granted prior to 2024 for which the performance achievement period was completed in 2024, resulting in incremental unit awards. These PRSU awards are also included in the amount vested in 2024. PRSUs included in the tabl a e above a are shown at target. Share payout can range from 0% to 200% based on diffe f rent performance outcomes. Weighted-average grant date fai f r value of RSU and PRSU awards assumed through acquisition is based on the fai f r value on the date assumed. Payment of the underlying shares in connection with the vesting of RSU and PRSU awards generally triggers a tax obligation for the employee, which is required to be remitted to the relevant tax authorities. With respect to RSUs and PRSUs settled in shares, we have agreed to withhold shares of common stock otherwise issuable under the RSU and PRSU awards to cover certain of these tax obligations, with the net shares issued to the employee accounted for as outstanding common stock. We withheld 1,552,111, 2,027,800 and 1,900,710 shares of common stock to cover tax obligations associated with the payment of shares upon vesting of stock awards and remitted cash of $269 million, $297 million and $243 million to the appr a opriate tax authorities for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Our ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their eligible earnings toward the semi-annual purchase of our shares of common stock at a discounted price, subject to an annual maximum dollar amount. Employees can purchase stock at a 15% discount applied to the closing stock price on the first or last day of the six-month offering period, whichever price is lower. The number of shares issued under our ESPP was 1,519,242, 1,771,475 and 2,079,086 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In June 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to our ESPP plan, increasing the share reserve to 14,000,000. As of December 31, 2024, the number of securities remaining availabl a e for f future sale and issuance under the ESPP was 11,772,709. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit f s Plans On December 20, 2024, we settled $572 million of our Sprint Retirement Pension Plan retiree obligations, resulting in a gain of $80 million, recognized within Other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This partial plan settlement is the result of us purchasing a nonparticipating annuity that involves the transfer f of significant risk from us to the insurance company (commonly refer f red to as a “buy-out”). This transaction is an irrevocable action, relieves us of our 94 responsibility for the postretirement benefit f obligations that were settled, and eliminates the risks related to the obligation and the assets used to effe f ct the settlement. The objective for f the investment portfol f io of the Pension Plan is to achieve a long-term nominal rate of return, net of fees, that exceeds the Pension Plan's long-term expected rate of return on investments for f funding purpos r es. To meet this objective, our investment strategy is governed by an asset allocation policy, whereby a targeted allocation percentage is assigned to each asset class as fol f lows: 48% to equities; 39% to fixed income investments; and 13% to real estate, infra f structur t e and private assets. Actual allocations are allowed to deviate from target allocation percentages within a range for each asset class as defined in the investment policy. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets was 7% for f both the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, while the actua t l rate of retur t n on plan assets was 6% and 11% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The long-term expected rate of return on investments for f funding purpos r es is 8% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The components of net benefit recognized for the Pension Plan were as fol f lows: Year Ended December 31, n millions) 2024 2023 2022 Interest on projected benefit obligations $ 83 $ 86 $ 65 Gain on settlement and amortization of actuarial gain (119) (59) — Expected return on pension plan assets (99) (97) (71) Net pension benefit $ (135) $ (70) $ (6) The net benefit associated with the Pension Plan is included in Other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Investments of the Pension Plan are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which is determined using quoted market prices or estimated fai f r values. As of December 31, 2024, 26% of the investment portfol f io was valued at quoted prices in active markets for f identical assets, 62% was valued using quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, or other observabl a e inputs, and 12% was valued using unobservabl a e inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. As of December 31, 2023, 17% of the investment portfol f io was valued at quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, 79% was valued using quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, or other observabl a e inputs, and 4% was valued using unobservabl a e inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, the majo a rity of which used the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to measure the fair value. The fai f r values of our Pension Plan assets and certain other postretirement benefit f plan assets in aggregate were $626 million and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our accumulated benefit f obligations in aggregate were $895 million and $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a result, the plans were underfunded by approximately $269 million and $350 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were recorded in Other long-term liabi a lities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In determining our pension obligation for f the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we used a weighted-average discount rate of 6% and 5%, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we made contributions of $52 million and $32 million, respectively, to the benefit f plans. We expect to make contributions to the Plan of $66 million through the year ending December 31, 2025. Future benefits expected to be paid are appr a oximately $51 million for f the 12-month period ending December 31, 2025, $110 million in total for both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2026 and 2027, $119 million in total for f both of the 12- month periods ending December 31, 2028 and 2029, and $320 million in total thereafter. Employee Retirement Savings Plan We sponsor retirement savings plans for f the majority of our employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar plans. The plans allow employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and post-tax income in accordance with specified guidelines. The plans provide that we match a percentage of employee contributions up to certain limits. Employer matching contributions were $159 million, $171 million and $175 million for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 95 Note 14 – Income Taxes Our sources of Income before income taxes were as fol f lows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 U.S. income $ 14,607 $ 10,943 $ 3,116 Foreign income 105 56 30 Income before income taxes $ 14,712 $ 10,999 $ 3,146 Income tax expense is summarized as fol f lows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Current tax (expense) benefit Federal $ (57) $ (42) $ 22 State (179) (28) (64) Foreign (17) (12) (22) Total current tax expense (253) (82) (64) Deferred tax (expense) benefit Federal (2,743) (2,150) (628) State (348) (417) 77 Foreign (29) (33) 59 Total defer f red tax expense (3,120) (2,600) (492) Total income tax expense $ (3,373) $ (2,682) $ (556) The reconciliation between the U.S. fed f eral statut t ory income tax rate and our effe f ctive income tax rate is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Federal statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal benefit f 3.3 4.2 4.5 Effe f ct of law and rate changes 0.1 (0.1) (5.3) Change in valuation allowance (0.2) (0.2) (0.8) Foreign taxes 0.3 0.4 0.7 Permanent diffe f rences 0.3 (0.1) (0.2) Federal tax credits (1.1) (0.8) (2.4) Equity-based compensation (0.3) (0.4) (1.2) Non-deductible compensation (0.1) 0.5 1.2 Other, net (0.4) (0.1) 0.2 Effe f ctive income tax rate 22.9 % 24.4 % 17.7 % 96 Significant components of defer f red income tax assets and liabi a lities, tax effected, are as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Deferred tax assets Loss carryforwards $ 3,844 $ 6,227 Lease liabi a lities 7,781 8,355 Reserves and accrua r ls 958 1,177 Other 3,959 4,459 Deferred tax assets, gross 16,542 20,218 Valuation allowance (259) (306) Deferred tax assets, net 16,283 19,912 Deferred tax liabi a lities Spectrum licenses 19,527 19,006 Property and equipment 5,874 6,142 Lease right-of-use assets 6,508 7,043 Other 1,074 1,179 Total defer f red tax liabi a lities 32,983 33,370 Net defer f red tax liabilities $ 16,700 $ 13,458 Classified on the consolidated balance sheets as: Deferred tax liabi a lities $ 16,700 $ 13,458 As of December 31, 2024, we have tax effected federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $2.9 billion, state NOL carryforwards of $1.6 billion and for f eign NOL carryforwards of $4 million, expiring through 2044. Federal and certain state NOLs of $2.8 billion generated in and after 2018 do not expire. As of December 31, 2024, our tax effected federal, state and foreign NOL carryforwards for fin f ancial reporting purpos r es were approximately $167 million, $701 million and $4 million, respectively, less than our NOL carryforwards for fed f eral, state and for f eign income tax purpos r es, due to unrecognized tax benefits of the same amount. The unrecognized tax benefit f amounts exclude offs f etting tax effe f cts of $181 million in other jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2024, we have research and development, corporate alternative minimum tax and other general business credit carryforwards with a combined value of $582 million for f federal income tax purpos r es, an immaterial amount of which begins to expire in 2039. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our valuation allowance was $259 million, $306 million and $375 million, respectively. The change from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 primarily related to a reduction in the valuation allowance against federal and state defer f red tax assets resulting fro f m a change in expected utilization of accumulated capital losses. The change from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 primarily related to a reduction in the valuation allowance against defer f red tax assets in certain state jurisdictions resulting fro f m expiration of the related state tax attributes. We file income tax retur t ns in the U.S. fed f eral jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are currently under examination by various states. Management does not believe the resolution of any of the audits will result in a material change to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flo f ws. The IRS has concluded audits of certain of our federal tax returns, most recently the 2020 tax year; however, NOL and other carryforwards for certain prior periods remain open for f examination. U.S. federal, state and foreign examination for f years prior to 2005 are generally closed. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits f were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Unrecognized tax benefits f , beginning of year $ 1,477 $ 1,254 $ 1,217 Gross increases to tax positions in prior periods 140 19 31 Gross decreases to tax positions in prior periods (201) (39) (65) Gross increases to current period tax positions 132 256 77 Gross decreases due to settlements with taxing authorities (11) — (3) Gross decreases due to statute of limitations laps a e (67) (13) (3) Unrecognized tax benefits f , end of year $ 1,470 $ 1,477 $ 1,254 97 As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we had $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion and $962 million, respectively, in unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affe f ct our annual effe f ctive tax rate. Penalties and interest on income tax assessments are included in Selling, general and administrative and Interest expense, respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The accrue r d interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are insignificant. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to our uncertain tax positions may change within the next 12 months. Note 15 – Stockholder Return Programs 2022 Stock Repu e rchase Program On September 8, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized our 2022 Stock Repurchase Program for up to $14.0 billion of our common stock through September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 77,460,937 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $141.57 for a total purchase price of $11.0 billion under the 2022 Stock Repurchase Program. All shares purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were purchased at market price. 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program On September 6, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized our 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program of up to $19.0 billion that ran from October 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024. The 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program consisted of repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. On September 25, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.65 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on December 15, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 1, 2023. On January 24, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.65 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on March 14, 2024, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2024.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 59,376,922 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $187.07 for a total purchase price of $11.1 billion and 15,464,107 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $144.95 for a total purchase price of $2.2 billion, respectively, under the 2023-2024 Stockholder Return Program. All shares repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were purchased at market price. 2025 Stockholder Return Program On December 13, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized our 2025 Stockholder Return Program of up to $14.0 billion that will run through December 31, 2025. The 2025 Stockholder Return Program is expected to consist of additional repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The amount availabl a e under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us. 98 Under the 2025 Stockholder Retur t n Program, share repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, Rule 10b5-1 plans, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rul r es of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The specific timing and amount of any share repurchases, and the specific timing and amount of any dividend payments, under the 2025 Stockholder Retur t n Program will depend on prevailing share prices, general economic and market conditions, Company performance, and other considerations. In addition, the specific timing and amount of any dividend payments are subject to being declared on future dates by the Board in its sole discretion. The 2025 Stockholder Retur t n Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to declare and pay any particular amount of dividends, and the 2025 Stockholder Retur t n Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. On November 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which will be paid on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program. As of December 31, 2024, we had up to $14.0 billion remaining under the 2025 Stockholder Retur t n Program. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, from January 1, 2025, through January 24, 2025, we repurchased 2,855,113 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $216.03 for a total purchase price of $617 million. As of January 24, 2025, we had up to $13.4 billion remaining under the 2025 Stockholder Retur t n Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2025.

(2) During 2023, the SoftB f ank Specified Shares were issued and included in our calculations of basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as further described below. (3) The weighted-average number of shares contingently issuable related to the Ka’ena Acquisition earnout consideration (“Ka’ena Contingent Shares”) are included in potentially dilutive securities based on the maximum number of shares contingently issuable for the earnout and the 20 trading day volume- weighted average price as of December 31, 2024. No Ka’ena Contingent Shares were outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2024, as the threshold specified performance indicators had not been achieved. As of December 31, 2024, we had authorized 100 million shares of prefer f red stock, with a par value of $0.00001 per share. There was no prefer f red stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Potentially dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share if to do so would have been anti-dilutive. The SoftB f ank Specified Shares of 48,751,557 shares of T-Mobile common stock was determined to be contingent consideration for the Merger and was not dilutive until the defin f ed volume-weighted average price per share was reached. 99 The issuance of the SoftB f ank Specified Shares was contingent on the trailing 45-trading day volume-weighted average (“VWAP”) per share of T-Mobile common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market being equal to or greater than $150.00 (the “Threshold Price”), at any time during the period commencing on April 1, 2022, and ending on December 31, 2025 (the “Measurement Period”). In accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Threshold Price was subject to downward adju d stment by the per share amount of any cash dividends or other cash distributions declared or paid on our common stock during the Measurement Period. As of the close of trading on December 22, 2023, the 45-trading day VWAP exceeded $149.35, the then-current Threshold Price, and the Company delivered the SoftB f ank Specified Shares to SoftBank in accordance with the Letter Agreement on December 28, 2023, by reissuing Company treasury shares. Upon reissuance of treasury shares, the Company recorded a reclassification fro f m Treasury shares to Additional paid-in capi a tal of $6.9 billion, calculated based on the cost of treasury shares reissued. The SoftB f ank Specified Shares issued are included in the calculation of basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding from the date the contingency associated with the issuance of the SoftB f ank Specified Shares was resolved and the beginning of the Company’s four f th quarter of 2023, respectively. Note 17 – Leases Lessee We are a lessee for f non-cancelable operating and financing leases for f cell sites, switch sites, retail stores, network equipment and office facilities with contractua t l terms that generally extend through 2035. The majority of cell site leases have a non- cancelable term of five to 15 years with several renewal options that can extend the lease term for f five to 50 years. In addition, we have financing leases for network equipment that generally have a non-cancelable lease term of three to five years. The financing leases do not have renewal options and contain a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease. The components of lease expense were as fol f lows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Operating lease expense $ 4,787 $ 4,987 $ 6,514 Financing lease expense: Amortization of right-of-use assets 787 684 733 Interest on lease liabi a lities 111 79 68 Total fin f ancing lease expense 898 763 801 Variable lease expense 279 411 484 Total lease expense $ 5,964 $ 6,161 $ 7,799 Information relating to the lease term and discount rate is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term (Years) Operating leases 8 9 10 Financing leases 2 2 2 Weighted-Average Discount Rate Operating leases 4.4 % 4.3 % 4.1 % Financing leases 5.3 % 4.6 % 3.2 % 100 Maturities of lease liabi a lities as of December 31, 2024, were as fol f lows: (in millions) Operating Leases Finance Leases Twelve Months Ending December 31, 2025 $ 4,491 $ 1,242 2026 4,400 809 2027 4,093 357 2028 3,763 25 2029 3,478 4 Thereafte f r 15,664 — Total lease payments 35,889 2,437 Less: imputed interest 6,199 111 Total $ 29,690 $ 2,326 Interest payments for fin f ancing leases were $111 million, $79 million and $68 million for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we have additional operating leases for commercial properties that have not yet commenced with future lease payments of appr a oximately $24 million. As of December 31, 2024, we were contingently liabl a e for f future ground lease payments related to certain tower obligations. These contingent obligations are not included in the above tabl a e as the amounts owed are contractua t lly owed by CCI based on the subleasing arrangement. See Note 10 – Tower Obligations for fur f ther information. Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitmentst We have commitments for f non-dedicated transportation lines with varying expiration terms that generally extend through 2038. In addition, we have commitments to purchase wireless devices, network services, equipment, software, marketing sponsorship agreements and other items in the ordinary course of business, with various terms through 2043. Such purchase commitments are appr a oximately $4.6 billion for f the 12-month period ending December 31, 2025, $5.1 billion in total for f both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2026 and 2027, $2.2 billion in total for both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2028 and 2029, and $2.3 billion in total thereafter. These amounts are not reflective of our entire anticipated purchases under the related agreements but are determined based on the non-cancelable quantities or termination amounts to which we are contractua t lly obligated. On April 24, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with a fund operated by EQT, Fund VI, to establish a joint venture between us and Fund VI to acquire Lumos, a fib f er-to-the-home platfor f m, from EQT’s predecessor fund, f EQT Infra f structure III. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $950 million in the joint venture to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing Lumos fib f er customers. The fun f ds invested by us will be used by the joint ventur t e to fund f future fiber builds. In addition, pursuant to the definitive agreement, we expect to make an additional capital contribution of appr a oximately $500 million in 2027 or 2028 under the existing business plan. The agreement remains subject to regulatory appr a oval, and the estimated purchase price is excluded fro f m our reported purchase commitments above a . See Note 3 – Joint Ventur t es for additional details. On May 24, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with UScellular, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., and USCC Wireless Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which, among other things, we will acquire substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations and select spectrum assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 billion, payabl a e in cash and the assumption of up to $2.0 billion of debt through an exchange offe f r to be made to certain UScellular debtholders prior to closing. To the extent any debtholders do not participate in the exchange, their bonds will continue as obligations of UScellular, and the cash portion of the purchase price will be correspondingly increased. Following the closing of the transaction, we will enter into a 15-year master license agreement and estimate the incremental fut f ur t e minimum lease payments will be $1.4 billion over 15 years post-closing. The securities purchase agreement remains subject to regulatory appr a oval. The estimated purchase price and incremental minimum lease payments are excluded fro f m our reported purchase commitments above a . See Note 2 – Business Combinations for additional details. 101 On July 18, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with KKR to establ a ish a joint ventur t e to acquire Metronet, a fiber-to- the-home platform. At closing, we expect to invest approximately $4.9 billion in the joint ventur t e to acquire a 50% equity interest and all existing residential fiber customers, as well as funding the joint ventur t e. The agreement remains subject to regulatory approval, and the estimated purchase price is excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 3 – Joint Ventur t es for additional details. On December 20, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Vistar Media Inc., for a purchase price of approximately $625 million. The agreement remains subject to certain regulatory approvals, and the estimated purchase price is excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 2 – Business Combinations for additional details. Spectrum We lease spectrum r from various parties. These leases include service obligations to the lessors. Certain spectrum leases provide for minimum lease payments, additional charges, renewal options and escalation clauses. Leased spectrum agreements have varying expiration terms that generally extend through 2050. We expect that all renewal periods in our spectrum r leases will be exercised by us. Certain spectrum r leases also include purchase options and right-of-first refusal clauses in which we are provided the opportunity to exercise our purchase option if the lessor receives a purchase offe f r from a third party. The purchase of the leased spectrum is at our option and, therefor f e, the option price is not included in the commitments below. Our spectrum lease and service credit commitments, including renewal periods, are approximately $289 million for the 12- month period ending December 31, 2025, $613 million in total for both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2026 and 2027, $641 million in total for both of the 12-month periods ending December 31, 2028 and 2029, and $3.8 billion in total thereafte f r. On August 8, 2022, we entered into License Purchase Agreements to acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Channel 51 License Co LLC and LB License Co, LLC in exchange for total cash consideration of $3.5 billion. The first tranche closed on June 24, 2024, and the associated payment of $2.4 billion was made on August 5, 2024. The purchase of the Dallas licenses closed on December 6, 2024, and the associated payment of $541 million was made on the same day. The remaining deferred licenses from the second tranche of $604 million remain subject to regulatory approval and are excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum r License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets for additional details. On September 12, 2023, we entered into a License Purchase Agreement with Comcast pursuant to which we will acquire spectrum in the 600 MHz band from Comcast in exchange for total cash consideration of between $1.2 billion and $3.3 billion, subject to an application for FCC approval. The licenses are subject to an exclusive leasing arrangement between us and Comcast entered into contemporaneously with the License Purchase Agreement. On January 13, 2025, we and Comcast entered into an amendment to the License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we will acquire additional spectrum. Subsequent to the amendment, the total cash consideration for the transaction is between $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion. The agreement remains subject to an application for FCC approval and is excluded from our reported purchase commitments above. See Note 7 – Goodwill, Spectrum License Transactions and Other Intangible Assets for additional details. Merger Commitments In connection with the regulatory proceedings and approvals of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement with Sprint and the other parties named therein (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”), we have commitments and other obligations to various state and federal agencies and certain nongovernmental organizations, including pursuant to the Consent Decree agreed to by us, DT, Sprint, SoftBank and DISH and entered by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and the FCC’s memorandum opinion and order approving our applications for approval of the Merger. These commitments and obligations include, among other things, extensive 5G network build-out commitments, obligations to deliver high-speed wireless services to the vast majo a rity of Americans, including Americans residing in rural areas, and the marketing of an in-home broadband product where spectrum capa a city is availabl a e. Other commitments relate to national security, pricing, service, employment and support of diversity initiatives. Many of the commitments specify time frames for compliance and reporting. Failure to fulfil f l our obligations and commitments in a timely manner could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions. 102 Contingencies and Litigat i ion Litigation and Regulatory r Mattersr We are involved in various lawsuits and disputes, claims, government agency investigations and enforcement actions, and other proceedings (“Litigation and Regulatory Matters”) that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include claims of patent infringement (most of which are asserted by non-practicing entities primarily seeking monetary damages), class actions, and proceedings to enforce FCC or other government agency rules and regulations. Those Litigation and Regulatory Matters are at various stages, and some of them may proceed to trial, arbi r tration, hearing, or other adju d dication that could result in fines, penalties, or awards of monetary or inju n nctive relief in the coming 12 months if they are not otherwise resolved. We have establ a ished an accrual with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate. The accrua r ls are reflected on our consolidated financial statements, but they are not considered to be, individually or in the aggregate, material. An accrua r l is establ a ished when we believe it is both probabl a e that a loss has been incurred and an amount can be reasonabl a y estimated. For other matters, where we have not determined that a loss is probabl a e or because the amount of loss cannot be reasonabl a y estimated, we have not recorded an accrua r l due to various factors typical in contested proceedings, including, but not limited to, uncertainty concerning legal theories and their resolution by courts or regulators, uncertain damage theories and demands, and a less than fully developed factua t l record. For Litigation and Regulatory Matters that may result in a contingent gain, we recognize such gains on our consolidated financial statements when the gain is realized or realizable. We recognize legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with Litigation and Regulatory Matters as they are incurred. Except as otherwise specified below, we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these Litigation and Regulatory Matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effe f ct on our financial position, but we note that an unfav f orable outcome of some or all of the specific f matters identifie f d below, or other matters that we are or may become involved in could have a material adverse impact on results of operations or cash flows for a particular period. This assessment is based on our current understanding of relevant facts and circumstances. As such, our view of these matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and may change in the future. On Februa r ry 28, 2020, T-Mobile and Sprint each received a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Admonishment from the FCC, which proposed a penalty for allegedly violating section 222 of the Communications Act and the FCC’s regulations governing the privacy of customer information. On April 29, 2024, the FCC issued Forfeiture Orders against T- Mobile and Sprint that largely adopted the allegations and conclusions of the Notices of Apparent Liability and imposed penalties on T-Mobile and Sprint. T-Mobile and Sprint paid those penalties under protest, and on June 27, 2024, T-Mobile and Sprint filed Petitions for Review challenging the FCC’s Forfei f ture Orders in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. We are unabl a e to predict the potential outcome of those proceedings. On April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we assumed the contingencies and litigation matters of Sprint. Those matters include a wide variety of disputes, claims, government agency investigations and enforcement actions, and other proceedings. These matters include, among other things, certain ongoing FCC and state government agency investigations into Sprint’s Lifeline program. In September 2019, Sprint notifie f d the FCC that it had claimed monthly subsidies for serving subscribers, even though these subscribers may not have met usage requirements under Sprint's usage policy for the Lifeline program, due to an inadvertent coding issue in the system used to identify f qualifyi f ng subscriber usage that occurred in July 2017 while the system was being updated. Sprint has made a number of payments to reimburse the federal government and certain states for excess subsidy payments. We note that, pursuant to Amendment No. 2, dated as of Februa r ry 20, 2020, to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018, by and among the Company, Sprint and the other parties named therein, SoftBank agreed to indemnify f us against certain specifie f d matters and losses, including those relating to the Lifeline matters described above. Resolution of these matters could require us to make additional reimbursements and pay additional fines and penalties, which we do not expect to have a significant impact on our financial results. We expect that any additional liabi a lities related to these indemnifie f d matters would be indemnifie f d and reimbursed by SoftBank. On June 1, 2021, a putative shareholder class action and derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Dinkevich v. Deutsc t he Telekom AG, G et al., Case No. C.A. No. 2021-0479, against DT, SoftBank and certain of our current and former offi f cers and directors, asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims relating to the repricing amendment to the Business Combination Agreement and to SoftBank’s monetization of its T-Mobile shares. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the case. We are unabl a e to predict the potential outcome of these claims. On August 12, 2021, we became aware of a cybersecurity issue involving unauthorized access to T-Mobile’s systems (the “August 2021 cyberattack”). We immediately began an investigation and engaged cybersecurity experts to assist with the assessment of the incident and to help determine what data was impacted. Our investigation uncovered that the perpetrator had illegally gained access to certain areas of our systems on or about March 18, 2021, but only gained access to and took data of 103 current, former, and prospective customers beginning on or about August 3, 2021. With the assistance of our outside cybersecurity experts, we located and closed the unauthorized access to our systems and identifie f d current, former and prospective customers whose information was impacted and notifie f d them, consistent with state and federal requirements. We also undertook a number of other measures to demonstrate our continued support and commitment to data privacy and protection. We also coordinated with law enforcement. Our forensic investigation is complete, and we believe we have a full view of the data compromised. As a result of the August 2021 cyberattack, we have become subject to numerous lawsuits, including mass arbi r tration claims and multiple class action lawsuits that have been filed in numerous jurisdictions seeking, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees arising out of the August 2021 cyberattack. In December 2021, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the federal class action lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri under the caption In re: T-Mobile Customer Data Security Breach Litigat i ion, Case No. 21-md-3019-BCW. On July 22, 2022, we entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuit. On June 29, 2023, the Court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement. All appeals have been resolved, and the settlement is now final. Under the terms of the settlement, we have paid an aggregate of $350 million to fund claims submitted by class members, the legal fees of plaintiffs f ’ counsel and the costs of administering the settlement. As required under the terms of the settlement, we have spent an aggregate of $150 million for data security and related technology in 2022 and 2023. The settlement provides a full release of all claims arising out of the August 2021 cyberattack by class members who did not opt out, against all defendants, including us, our subsidiaries and affi f liates, and our directors and offi f cers. The settlement contains no admission of liabi a lity, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the defendants. We anticipate that this settlement of the class action, along with other settlements of separate consumer claims that have been previously completed or are currently pending, will resolve substantially all of the claims brought to date by our current, former and prospective customers who were impacted by the 2021 cyberattack. In connection with the class action settlement and the separate settlements, we recorded a total pre-tax charge of approximately $400 million in the second quarter of 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $105 million, $50 million and $100 million, respectively, in reimbursements from insurance carriers for costs incurred related to the August 2021 cyberattack, which is included as a reduction to Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In addition, in September 2022, a purpor r ted Company shareholder filed a derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption Harper v. Sievert et al., Case No. 2022-0819-SG, against our current directors and certain of our former directors, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company’s cybersecurity practices. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the lawsuit. On May 31, 2024, the court issued an opinion dismissing the plaintiff’s f complaint in its entirety. The plaintifff has appealed that decision. We are unabl a e at this time to predict the potential outcome of this lawsuit or whether we may be subject to further private litigation. We have also received inquiries and contested legal proceedings from various government agencies, law enforcement and other governmental authorities related to the August 2021 cyberattack, which could result in substantial fines or penalties. We reached an agreement with the FCC, which was announced on September 30, 2024, to resolve one of those inquiries. We will continue to cooperate fully with the other agencies and regulators inquiring about the matter with an aim to resolve all of these matters. While we hope to resolve them in the near term, we cannot predict the timing or outcome of any of these matters or whether we may be subject to further regulatory inquiries, investigations, or enforcement actions. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, and based on the information currently availabl a e to us, in addition to the previously recorded pre-tax charge of approximately $400 million noted above, we believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur additional losses associated with these proceedings and inquiries, and we will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for losses at the time or times when it is both probabl a e that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonabl a y estimabl a e. Ongoing legal and other costs related to these proceedings and inquiries, as well as any potential future actions, may be substantial, and losses associated with any adverse judgments, settlements, penalties or other resolutions of such proceedings and inquiries could be material to our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and operating results. On June 17, 2022, plaintiffs f filed a putative antitrus r t class action complaint in the Northern District of Illinois, Dale et al. v. Deutsc t he Telekom AG, G et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-03189, against DT, T-Mobile, and SoftBank, alleging that the Merger violated the antitrus r t laws and harmed competition in the U.S. retail cell service market. Plaintiffs f seek inju n nctive relief and trebled monetary damages on behalf of a purpor r ted class of AT&T and Verizon customers whom plaintiffs f allege paid artificially inflated prices due to the Merger. We are vigorously defending this lawsuit, but we are unabl a e to predict the potential outcome. 104 On January 5, 2023, we identifie f d that a bad actor was obtaining data through a single Application Programming Interface (“API”) without authorization. Based on our investigation, the impacted API is only abl a e to provide a limited set of customer account data, including name, billing address, email, phone number, date of birth, T-Mobile account number and information, such as the number of lines on the account and plan feat f ur t es. The result from our investigation indicates that the bad actor(s) obtained data fro f m this API for appr a oximately 37 million current postpaid and prepaid customer accounts, though many of these accounts did not include the ful f l data set. We believe that the bad actor first retrieved data through the impacted API starting on or around November 25, 2022. We have notifie f d individuals whose infor f mation was impacted consistent with state and fed f eral requirements. In connection with the January 2023 cyberattack, we became subject to consumer class actions and regulatory inquiries, to which we will continue to respond in due course and may incur significant expenses. However, we cannot predict the timing or outcome of any of these potential matters or whether we may be subject to additional legal proceedings, claims, regulatory inquiries, investigations, or enfor f cement actions. In addition, we are unabl a e to predict the ful f l impact of this incident on customer behavior in the fut f ur t e, including whether a change in our customers’ behavior could negatively impact our results of operations on an ongoing basis, although we presently do not expect that it will have a material effect on our operations. Note 19 – Restructuring Costs Merger Restructuring Ini I tiatives Upon closing the Merger in April 2020, we began implementing restruc r turing initiatives to realize cost efficiencies and reduce redundancies. The major activities associated with the Merger restruc r turing initiatives included contract termination costs associated with the rationalization of retail stores, distribution channels, duplicative network and backhaul services and other agreements, severance costs associated with the integration of redundant processes and functions and the decommissioning of certain small cell sites and distributed antenna systems to achieve Merger synergies in network costs. As of June 30, 2024, we have incurred substantially all restruc r turing and integration costs associated with the Merger and, accordingly, no longer separately disclose Merger-related costs. The cash payments for f the Merger-related costs incurred extend beyond 2024. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the expenses incurred in connection with our Merger restructur t ing initiatives: (in millions) Year Ended December 31, 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2024 Incurred to Date ntract termination costs $ 231 $ 45 $ 4 $ 472 Severance costs 169 3 — 574 Network decommissioning 796 289 91 1,857 Total restruc r turing plan expenses $ 1,196 $ 337 $ 95 $ 2,903 The expenses associated with our Merger restructur t ing initiatives are included in Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Our Merger restruc r turing initiatives also included the acceleration or termination of certain of our operating and financing leases for cell sites, switch sites, retail stores, network equipment and offi f ce facilities. Incremental expenses associated with terminated leases and leases for which we have recognized accelerated lease expense were $91 million, $390 million and $1.7 billion for f the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. 2023 Workfo k rce Reduction In August 2023, we implemented an initiative to reduce the size of our workforce by appr a oximately 5,000 positions, just under 7% of our total employee base, primarily in corporate and back-office functions, and some technology roles. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the expenses incurred in connection with our workforce reduction initiative: (in millions) Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2024 Incurred to Date Severance costs (recoveries) $ 462 $ (5) $ 457 The expenses associated with our workforce reduction initiative are included in Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Note 20 – Additional Financial Infor f mation Accounts P t ayable and Accrued Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabi a lities are summarized as follows: (in millions) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Accounts payable $ 4,242 $ 5,573 Payroll and related benefits f 1,072 1,142 Property and other taxes, including payroll 1,524 1,704 Accrue r d interest 905 818 Other accrue r d liabi a lities 720 1,136 Accounts payable and accrue r d liabi a lities $ 8,463 $ 10,373 Book overdrafts included in accounts payable were $460 million and $740 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Related Party Transactions We have related party transactions associated with DT, SoftB f ank or their respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business, including intercompany servicing and licensing. The fol f lowing tabl a e summarizes the impact of significant transactions with DT or its affi f liates included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Fees incurred for f use of the T-Mobile brand $ 80 $ 80 $ 80 International long distance agreement 19 20 25 We have an agreement with DT for the reimbursement of certain administrative expenses, which was $4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defin f ed in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure infor f mation required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specifie f d in the SEC’s rul r es and for f ms. Our disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that infor f mation required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial offic f er, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effe f ctiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effe f ctive as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The certific f ations required by Section 302 of the Sarba r nes-Oxley Act of 2002 are file f d as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this Form 10-K. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over fin f ancial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fis f cal quarter that materially affe f cted, or are reasonabl a y likely to materially affe f ct, our internal control over fin f ancial reporting. We are currently preparing to implement a new global enterpr r ise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will replace many of our operating and financial systems. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records, support integrated billing, supply chain and other operational func f tionality, fac f ilitate data analysis and accelerate information reporting to our management team related to the operation of the business. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. 107 As the phased implementation of the new ERP system continues, we could have changes to our processes and procedures which, in turn, could result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. As such changes occur, we will evaluate quarterly whether such changes materially affe f ct our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establ a ishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonabl a e assurance regarding the reliabi a lity of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purpos r es in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonabl a e detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions, providing reasonabl a e assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, providing reasonabl a e assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with management authorization, and providing reasonabl a e assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effe f ct on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effe f ctiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of the effe f ctiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria establ a ished in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over fin f ancial reporting was effe f ctive as of December 31, 2024. The effe f ctiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report herein.
