T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS) April 18, 2017
Telecom Services – Wireless Telecom Services Stock Rating HOLD
Investment Thesis Target Price $64-68
T-Mobile is the 3rd largest wireless service provider in the US and is one of only four national service providers. The fastest growing wireless provider in the nation, they call themselves the ‘Un-carrier’, servicing over 71 Million usersi across the United States. We recommend a HOLD for TMUS as we feel that the stock is at fair value and may see increased pricing pressure or a slowdown in customer additions as other carriers respond. TMUS also has substantial debt which is expected to increase as it continues building capacity in a data driven market. Drivers of Thesis
• Consistent Growth and customer focus T-Mobile has added over a million net customers for 15 quarters straight. It is expected to keep adding more customers, growing to 80M in 2017. Customers rate T-Mobile highest in customer service amongst the Big 4.i
• Maverick and innovative Leadership In John Legere, T-Mobile have a non-conformist CEO who abides by the motto of ‘Shut up and Listen’ii to the customer, is often found in stores listening to what the customers want, and is not afraid to take on the bigger rivals.
• Branding Prowess. T-Mobile has a brand which resonates with the young audience and is seen as being ‘cool’. In a market seeing rapid growth of internet driven social apps, frequented by a young demographic, this branding will hold T-Mobile in good stead.
• Access to 700MHz Band 12 LTE Spectrum. Band 12 enjoys the advantage of greater range than other LTE Bands. T-Mobile has used the band to good effect with this wide ranging ‘Extended LTE’ service available in remote places with lesser number of towers and repeaters.
Risks to Thesis
• Intense competition Prevailing competition with Verizon and AT&T has the potential to squeeze margins as the pricing war escalates.
• Inability to acquire spectrum and build capacity As T-Mobile grows to our projected customer base of 97M by 2021, it will need to acquire more spectrum, especially in the 700 MHz Band as it relies on it to provide widespread LTE coverage. An inability to do so due to scarcity or competition will lead to massive overburden on existing capacity.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
” We are the Un-carrier®. Un-satisfied with the status
quo. Un-afraid to innovate.” i
T-Mobile describes itself as the Un-carrier, which has
become not only their marketing strategy but also their
differentiation blueprint. T-Mobile, led by their
uncharacteristic CEO John Legere, prides itself on its ability
to listen to the customer and give them what they want.
This strategy has been highly successful, making T-Mobile
the 3rd largest wireless carrier in the US. With over 71M
users, T-Mobile has emerged as a genuine competitor to
Verizon and AT&T. T-Mobile continues to be rated highest
in customer service in the space and claims to have the
best 4G LTE speeds in the business. It has also rapidly
expanded its footprint, reaching 314 Million people with
its 4G network.i
While T-Mobile has shown strong growth, the outlook is
slightly murky. Increased competition has forced Verizon
and AT&T into action which has resulted in a price war that
will put downwards pricing pressure on T-Mobile,
squeezing profitability. T-Mobile’s efforts to raise prices
have been summarily unsuccessful with prices hovering at
2013 levels even though offerings have become more
comprehensive.
As T-Mobile aims to expand its network, it will need
capital. Whether it comes from retained earnings or debt
will depend upon the growth it sees in 2017. If the Risk-
Free Rate rises, T-Mobile will find it difficult to roll over its
substantial debt obligations and it will need to cut back on
upgrades which may hurt its competitiveness which is
centered around the quality of its network.
With no dividend paid out and no plans to do so in the
future, the stock needs to keep appreciating at risky
multiples to provide returns to a shareholder. We are
recommending a HOLD for T-Mobile on the basis of
increased competition and the relatively high trading
multiple of the TMUS stock.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
T-Mobile USA Inc. is a telecommunications company
providing cellular equipment and services as a wireless
carrier. It is one of the 4 national wireless carriers and is
the 3rd largest by revenues and users. It provides services,
devices, and accessories across its brands, T-Mobile and
MetroPCS. It provides wireless communication services
through a range of service plan options. The Company
offers a device trade-in program, Just Upgrade My Phone
(JUMP!), which provides customers a specified-price
trade-in right to upgrade their device. It offers a range of
wireless devices, including handsets, tablets and other
mobile communication devices, and accessories for sale,
as well as financing through equipment installment plans
(EIPs) and leasing through JUMP On Demand. In addition,
it sells devices to dealers and other third-party distributors
for resale through third-party retail outlets and a range of
third-party Websites. It also provides reinsurance for
handset insurance policies and extended warranty
contracts offered to its mobile communications
customers.
T-Mobile services, mainly, three type of customers –
branded postpaid, branded prepaid, and wholesale. The
wholesale customers include the MVNOs (Mobile Virtual
Network Operator). They are essentially vendors who buy
excess capacity from carriers like T-Mobile and sell it to
end users, thereby avoiding capital expenses involved in
creating network infrastructure. Carriers benefit by getting
revenues off unutilized capacity.
The branded prepaid and postpaid consumers are offered
a T-Mobile ONE plan which unifies all of T-Mobile’s
offering under one plan, reducing clutter in terms of
variety of offered plans. The ONE plan is an unlimited plan
which offers users unlimited 4G LTE data, 480p video
streaming, and 3G tethering. The ONE plan is offered at
$70/line for one line, going down to $40/line for a family
of 4 lines.
Customers have the option to add T-Mobile One Plus for
$5/line/mo which adds HD video streaming and 4G
tethering for the first 10GB. On T-Mobile ONE Plus

customers also receive features, such as Voicemail to Text
and Gogo in-flight Internet passes on capable domestic
flights.
Another option is T-Mobile ONE Plus International addon
for $25/line/mo. On T-Mobile ONE Plus International,
customers receive the benefits of T-Mobile ONE Plus, as
well as calling from the United States to foreign countries
and 4G LTE mobile hotspot data in the United States,
Mexico, and Canada.
T-Mobile offers Un-carrier Next, where monthly wireless
service fees and taxes are included in the advertised
monthly recurring charge for T-Mobile ONE. It also offers
Kickback on T-Mobile ONE which refunds $10/line/mo to
lines using under 2GB data a month. In addition, it offers
Un-contract for T-Mobile ONE with 4G LTE plan, which
allows T-Mobile ONE customers to keep their price for
service until they decide to change it.iii
Revenue Decomposition
T-Mobile’s revenue is broadly divided into three segments:
Service (74% of FY16 revenues), Equipment (23%), and
Others (2%).

Services
A majority of T-Mobile’s revenues come from the services
segment which includes revenue from postpaid, prepaid
and roaming services.
Source: T-Mobile investor factbook Q4 2016
T-Mobile has seen class-leading service revenue growth in
recent years with a YoY growth of 12.2%, service revenues
exceeding $27.8B. Since its resurgence in 2013, T-Mobile
has put together a hefty portfolio of wireless assets which
would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate. T-Mobile
holds large contiguous blocks of spectrum that have
helped it efficiently deploy new technology, providing a
network that is delivering solid performance. T-Mobile
also inked a deal in 2013 to acquire a portion of Verizon's
holdings in the 700 MHz block, and it has since cobbled
together a solid position in this band. This spectrum has
enabled T-Mobile to improve network coverage,
overcoming a key shortcoming. At the end of Q4 2016, T-
Mobile owned or had agreements to own an average of 86
MHz of spectrum across the top 25 markets in the U.S. The
spectrum is comprised of an average of 12 MHz in the 700
MHz band, 30 MHz in the 1900 MHz PCS band and 44 MHz
in the AWSiv

band. However, this illustrates the difficult position T-
Mobile faces: The firm has spent more than $5 billion on
spectrum over the past three years, placing a strain on its
finances. T-Mobile will need to spend more in the future,
including on broadcast spectrum up for auction in 2017.
T-Mobile Projected Coverage Map Dec 2017
Source: T-Mobile
T-Mobile began making several changes in late 2012 to
improve the market position of its postpaid business.
These changes, including the launch of a new branding
campaign around the "un-carrier" designation and the
creation of rate plans that separate service and phone
pricing, have produced solid results. The firm has reported
strong postpaid customer growth over the past three
years, reversing huge customer losses in 2010-12. The US
wireless market is highly saturated with penetration rates
of over 115%v which means that there are now more
cellphone connections than there are people. Smartphone
penetration reached 80%, 3rd highest in the world after
South Korea and Australia. vi New growth will come from
taking market share from other carriers. T-Mobile came
into the wireless world as a bit of a maverick and triggered
a price war with its un-carrier initiatives. While the price
war helped T-Mobile become the 3rd largest carrier, it has
put downwards pressure on the ARPU or Average Returns
Per Customer numbers.

In the longer term, however, we expect that T-Mobile US
will struggle to maintain pace with its larger, financially
stronger rivals.
Source: Strategy Analytics
The company claims only 17% of the U.S. wireless market,
about half the size of AT&T and Verizon. At the end of
2008, T-Mobile served about 40% as many postpaid
customers as Verizon Wireless and 45% as many as AT&T.

However, T-Mobile shed about 10% of its postpaid
customers during both 2011 and 2012; those percentages
now stand at only 30% and 41%, respectively, even after
the firm's recent run of strong customer growth. Smaller
scale leaves T-Mobile at a cost disadvantage versus these
rivals, which we expect will ultimately limit its ability to
invest aggressively in network capacity while generating
acceptable returns on capital.
Equipment
As a cellphone carrier, T-Mobile needs to have agreements
with major smartphone manufacturers to bring their
flagship devices to their networks. Availability and non-
availability of a popular flagship can be the difference
between net customer adds or losses for a carrier. Imagine
if T-Mobile did not offer the iPhone on its network, how
many users will migrate to a network which did. Upgrade
cycles are as important to carriers as they are to
smartphone manufacturer as every upgrade is a point
where a user can potentially switch carriers.
Source: T-Mobile
T-Mobile offers almost all flagship devices on its network
with the notable exception of the Google Pixel devices
which are a Verizon exclusive.
T-Mobile makes about 23% of its revenues from the sale
or lease of equipment to users. For 2016, its equipment
revenues were up 30% YoY, reaching $8.7B. The increase
was due to an increase in lease revenues resulting from the
launch of the JUMP! On Demand program at the end of Q2
2015 and an increase in device sales revenues primarily
due to an increase in the number of devices sold.
It offers an Equipment Installment Plan or EIP which
provides users with an opportunity to get a flagship device
with a monthly payment instead of the entire upfront cost.
T-Mobile financed $6.1B in device financing under the EIP
in 2016.
Source: T-Mobile
Customers on T-Mobile plans had associated EIP billings of
$1.370 billion in Q4 2016, down 1.7% compared to $1.394
billion in Q3 2016 and down 2.1% from $1.400 billion in Q4
2015. Total EIP receivables, net of imputed discount and
allowances for credit losses, was $2.914 billion at the end
of Q4 2016, compared to $2.508 billion at the end of Q3
2016 and $3.225 billion at the end of Q4 2015. i
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Fiscal 2016 Fourth Quarter Earnings
T-Mobile reported its 4Q2016 earnings on 14th Feb. The
earnings beat estimates comfortably. T-Mobile earned
$0.45 per share on revenue of $10.2 billion. The Street's
estimate was $0.29 per share on revenue of $9.8 billion.

With 11% growth in service revenues, 31% in Net Income,
12% in Adjusted EBITDA and 2.1M net customer additions,
T-Mobile has a fantastic 4th Quarter. The strong results
have prompted an ambitious guidance for 2017 with the
company projecting a 2.4 to 3.4 million net customer add.
They declined to provide guidance on net income saying
“T-Mobile is not able to forecast net
income on a forward-looking basis
without unreasonable efforts due to the
high variability and difficulty in
predicting certain items that affect GAAP
net income including, but not limited to,
income tax expense, stock based
compensation expense, interest expense
and interest income.” Their EBITDA target stands at $10.4B to $10.8B
Deutsche Telekom issues $4Bn loan to T-
Mobile USA
T-Mobile USA entered into a $4 billion secured term loan
facility with Deutsche Telekom AG (74% ownership of T-
Mobile USAvii), its majority stockholder in Jan 2017.viii The
company is not required to pay any upfront fees,
underwriting fees, original issue discount or other
consideration to DT. Deutsche Telekom does not have to
borrow any additional long-term capital to provide the
credit and said its net debt will not increase.
The company plans to draw on two tranches; on Jan. 31:
One for $2B, bearing interest at Libor plus a 2% margin,
maturing Nov. 9, 2022; and another for $2B, at Libor plus
a 2.25% margin, maturing Jan. 31, 2024.ix T-Mobile is
expected to use the loan to pay off high interest debt
obligations. It also helps T-Mobile build up a war chest for
spectrum acquisition and other capital expenditures.
T-Mobile buys 600MHz Spectrum for $8B
In an expected move, T-Mobile bid heavily in the recent
FCC spectrum auction, winning 31MHz on the low-band
600MHz spectrum. T-Mobile agreed to pay $8B for the
haul.x This move is in line with T-Mobile’s recent
acquisitions in the 700MHz band. Low frequency bands
have the advantage of better propagation characteristics
and penetrates obstacles such as walls and buildings,
enabling T-Mobile to bolster its ‘Extended LTE’ coverage in
urban and remote areas.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
IoT and Smart Home Tech: Traffic Explosion
Internet of Things(IoT) is the inter-networking of physical
devices also referred to as ("connected devices" and
"smart devices"), vehicles, buildings, and other items—
embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators,
and network connectivity that enable these objects to
collect and exchange data.
Source: IHS
IoT has seen massive growth in recent years and is
projected to grow to a massive 75 billion devices by 2025xi.
These devices will stress the existing network
infrastructure like never seen before. Wireless carriers will
need to keep upgrading their capacity to service these
devices with a clear roadmap for 5G rollout.
Network Upgrades and 5G roadmaps
As the world moves towards data from voice and text,
carriers will need to continually upgrade their capacity by
adding spectrum and/or towers. With the average user
projected to use 22GB mobile data every month, carriers
need a clear roadmap to rollout 5G networks. 2017 will see
progress in testing as companies find the best possible
technology to use. A big risk in this industry is backing the
wrong technology which does not end up as the standard,
leading to losses and network complications in the future.
Expected consolidation through M&A
It will be difficult for telecom companies to embrace a new
strategic identity by themselves; many of them don’t have
the capabilities required to create the product offerings
and services needed for repositioning in the marketplace.
For that reason, acquisitions are an attractive vehicle.
During Sprint’s recent fiscal 3Q16 earnings conference call,
Sprint’s management stated that “further consolidation
among the smaller players may be necessary to compete
with the big two,” giving credence to hopes of a T-Mobile
(TMUS) tie-up.
One thing that may help push some deals across the finish
line is the prospect of less regulation from government
agencies. While the specifics of the new administration are
yet to be determined, early indications are that anything is
fair game for reevaluation.
MARKETS AND COMPETITION
T-Mobile US faces stiff competition from two larger rivals
that are far better equipped to handle changes in the
telecom industry. Technological changes, like the shift to
the LTE network standard, the introduction of new
devices, such as the iPhone, or the availability of spectrum
at auction, can create opportunities for Verizon and AT&T
to put their financial firepower to work and expand their
advantages versus smaller carriers. Though it has made
fantastic progress recently, T-Mobile has struggled to
retain its highest-value customers in recent years. These
struggles highlight that customers will leave if network
coverage and capacity, customer service, or pricing fail to
meet expectations. Rivals have also aggressively
responded to T-Mobile's recent pricing actions,
threatening to slow the firm's momentum. Sprint, in
particular, has begun aggressively competing on price in an
attempt to stabilize its customer base.
T-Mobile US is subject to broader industry risks, including
shifting regulation and consumer habits. We expect the
firm will be a net beneficiary on the regulatory front, but
issues around service pricing and network usage come up
![Page 8: Siddhanta Chandra [siddhanta-chandra@uiowa.edu] … began making several changes in late 2012 to improve the market position of its postpaid business. These changes,](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020214/5ae31bcd7f8b9a495c8cd0b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Page 8
from time to time. Also, the FCC is examining data roaming
rates, which could result in T-mobile paying more for this
service.
Carriers, including T-Mobile, have slowly migrated pricing
structures to reflect growing data usage, adding unlimited
voice and text service while charging based on data
consumption. This transition is far from complete,
however. For example, T-Mobile US' 6 GB data plan triples
the potential load on the network versus its base plan, but
boosts the customer bill by only 30%. Customers may
demand increased data usage at current prices or actively
seek out alternatives, such as free Wi-Fi.
Peer Comparisons
T-Mobile is the 3rd largest wireless carrier in the US. It has
the 3rd highest net margin amongst its peer group. It lags
Verizon and AT&T by a 6% and 4% respectively.
A look at the revenue and profit numbers for the
competing companies follows.

Sprint 58,806 -1,477 -4.5%
US Cellular 5,031 48 1.2%
Source: Factset
One of the biggest reasons for the huge margin differential
is the debt on the balance sheets with the interest
payments wiping out any earnings for carriers like Sprint.
T-Mobile also suffers but to a lesser extent due to
favorable terms on debt issued by parent Deutsche
Telekom.
T-Mobile compares unfavorably in terms of ARPU, Churn
and ROE amongst its peer group. A big challenge for T-
Mobile will be to make more money off each customer.

Compared to the Big Two – Verizon and AT&T, T-Mobile is
trading at elevated multiples. This makes the stock very
risky.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Due to the telecom industry’s strong position and
penetration rates, it is slightly shielded by the economy as
people typically don’t cellphone connection even in a
downturn. But in a heavily saturated market, growth will
come from GDP growth and population growth rates. This
is force companies to find new avenues for growth. This is
why we see Verizon going after Yahoo and AOL or AT&T
seeking Time Warner after DirecTV. T-Mobile is growing by
taking market share away from the other carriers but
eventually it will need to find a new avenue, whether by
consolidation or by diversification.

US GDP Growth Rate
The big telecom companies can expect at most a 2%-3%
growth in wireless.
Population Growth Rate
Source: World Bank
With a low .7% population growth rate, new
growth/customer adds will be difficult to find. Carriers will
have to fight for a bigger piece of the pie but the pie will
not get any bigger any time soon.
Interest Rates
After almost a decade of flat rates, the Fed finally raised
the rate to .5% in December 2015. The current rate stands
at 1% after two 25bps hikes in January 2017 and March
2017. With the Federal Reserve making it clear that it’s
looking to take the rate to 1-1.25% range, the cost of debt
will increase for all companies, as businesses find
themselves in an environment of reduced liquidity. T-
Mobile has the advantage of having Deutsche Telekom
backing it, which has issued it loans at low interest rates in
the past. Which enhances T-Mobile’s capability to roll over
debt even in a higher rate environment.
CATALYSTS FOR GROWTH
T-Mobile has seen substantial growth since 2012 and will
continue to do so in the short term by taking users away
from other carriers. But the one event which can act as a
catalyst is Merger and Acquisition activity. Whether it
takes over Sprint or makes a deal with Dish, T-Mobile will
need such an event to catalyze growth over and above the
normal.
An early mover advantage on 4.5G and 5G technologies
can also propel T-Mobile’s growth, as data hungry
consumers looks for more bandwidth. T-Mobile already
has a significant bank of spectrum which it can put to use
for such rollouts.
INVESTMENT POSITIVES
• Brand Value and consistent growth. T-Mobile, the
‘Un-carrier’ is perceived well amongst the user base
and that helps it grow by eating away at the other
carriers. It has been a growth engine which refuses to
slow down in the recent years with impressive
revenue incline in the last 3 years.
• The backing of Deutsche Telekom means that T-
Mobile has access to liquidity at low cost with which to
build capacity and that in event of a takeover of Sprint,
it has an experienced negotiator guiding it through the
waters.
• A strong management has enabled T-Mobile to
become a genuine competitor. T-Mobile can be relied
on to make good decisions in terms of marketing and
positioning in the future. Their decision to test 5G
early and continuous capacity upgrades mean that T-
Mobile is looking forward with a roadmap in place.
• The IoT segment can be a growth driver but that is still
some ways into the future.
INVESTMENT NEGATIVES
• Scale. T-Mobile is likely to operate at a persistent cost
disadvantage versus its larger rivals. This position will
make it difficult for T-Mobile to compete as a value
carrier while delivering decent profitability. Smaller

scale and a relatively weak balance sheet will hamper
T-Mobile's ability to react to changing market
conditions or take advantage of new opportunities.
• Pricing Pressures. In order to lure customers from
competitors, T-Mobile US recently launched several
low-priced service plans for individual consumers as
well as small business entities. Although the company
has increased its top line by adding customers, T-
Mobile is yet to improve its bottom line numbers.
Notably, the costs incurred to gain customers and
grow revenues has not rewarded its shareholders yet.
Valuation
We valued TMUS’s stock in the $64-68 range using DCF. T-
Mobile’s valuation is helped by its relatively low beta
which gives it some upside but unless T-Mobile can
increase its margins and ARPU, the stock will see pressure
especially considering the debt on its Balance Sheet and
the expected spend in 2020 onwards on 5G rollouts.
Revenue Growth Rate
The wireless telecom industry has shrunk by 0.54% over
the last 5 years while T-Mobile has seen steady and
impressive growth. T-Mobile now faces increased
competition with the big carriers responding to its
initiatives, leveraging their scale to put pressure on T-
Mobile. While we expect T-Mobile to grow by 8.5% in
2017, we need to be wary of how much is being added to
the bottom line.
T-Mobile Revenue Growth
2012 5.24%
2013 378.70%
2014 21.06%
2015 8.42%
2016 16.19%
2017E 12.60%
2018E 9.08%
2019E 6.73%
2020E 4.11%
2021E 2.28%
Cost of Goods Sold
We forecast a slight decline in COGS as a percentage of
revenue for the next 3 years as T-Mobile’s current gen
network is reaching maturity and would not require the
levels of spending it did in the recent past. T-Mobile will
still need to spend substantially to maintain and expand its
foot print but overall the spending will decline as %age of
revenues. This will change in 2020 and beyond when T-
Mobile will need to build up the 5G infrastructure and will
see an increase in spending in the build-out of that
network.
Current COGS/Rev is at 44% and we estimate 2017
COGS/Rev to be 43%
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
SG&A saw a 12% increase in 2016 as revenues grew 16%.
We can see an increase in SG&A expense as T-Mobile has
to try harder in a saturated market to find new users and
hence we are growing SG&A by revenue growth.
Continuing Growth Assumptions
Using the McKinsey approach to valuation, net operating
profit less adjusted taxes (NOPLAT) feeds into the
discounted cash flow model that is used to derive the
target price. After the forecast period, we estimate a
continuing NOPLAT growth amount. We estimate NOPLAT
growth at 1.85% due to the highly-penetrated market. The
1.85% rate is estimated taking into consideration the US
GDP Growth Rate and the Population Growth Rate.
KEYS TO MONITOR
Regulation: Telecom is a highly-regulated industry. Any
adverse FCC rulings might impact T-Mobile and the
industry as a whole.
Sprint Merger Talks: A merger will Sprint will create a
behemoth big enough to compete on scale with Verizon
and AT&T. Such a merger will create the necessary
