The company gave guidance for the 2015 full year; it expects an increase in postpaid net additions of 3.4 to 3.9 million, up from 3.0 to 3.5 million due to the recent “Un-carrier” plans. There are consensus estimates for $0.74 in EPS on $32.51 billion in revenue for the full year.
During the quarter, T-Mobile delivered strong customer growth with 58.9 million total customers. In the second quarter of 2015, T-Mobile added 2.1 million net new customers, including branded postpaid net customer additions of 1.0 million, comprised of phone net customer additions of 760,000 – expected to be the highest in the U.S. wireless industry once again – and mobile broadband net customer additions of 248,000.
John Legere, President and CEO of T-Mobile, said:
While the carriers continue to use gimmicks to confuse consumers, T-Mobile continues to listen to customers and respond with moves that blow them away. On top of adding 2.1 million new customers in the second quarter, we delivered 14% year-over-year revenue growth and 25% year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth. Overall, I think our results speak for themselves.
