T-Mobile USA reported OIBDA of $1.11 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $1.17 billion in the third quarter of 2005 and $515 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. T-Mobile USA's net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $2.99 billion, up from $458 million in the third quarter of 2005 and a net loss of $329 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.

The year on year decrease in ARPU was primarily caused by a decrease in prepaid ARPU and the increased percentage of prepaid customers in the customer base in 2005, along with a decline in postpay ARPU. Data services revenue from postpay and prepaid customers continued to grow, reaching a total of $279 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Data revenues now represent 9.6% of postpay ARPU, or $5.21 per postpay customer, compared to 8.8% in the third quarter of 2005 and 6.6% in the fourth quarter of 2004.

    Since all companies do not calculate these figures in the same
manner, the information contained in this press release may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.


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

    Service revenues include postpay, prepaid, and roaming and other
    service revenues, and do not include equipment sales and other
    revenues. Revenues from our Wi-Fi business, co-location rental
    income, and revenues for network usage by Cingular customers who
    have not yet transitioned from the former joint venture networks
    in California, Nevada, and New York, are therefore not included in
    ARPU. The joint venture was terminated at the beginning of 2005.

(2) As a result of financial statement restatements by numerous U.S.
    public companies and publication of a letter by the Chief
    Accountant of the SEC to the American Institute of Certified
    Public Accountants on February 7, 2005, clarifying the
    interpretation of existing US GAAP accounting literature
    applicable to certain operating leases and leasehold improvements,
    T-Mobile USA changed its accounting for operating leases and
    recorded a cumulative adjustment representing a net charge to net
    income of $143 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, of which $71
    million related to the years 2001 through 2003. The net cumulative
    adjustment was comprised of a $200 million increase in rent
    expense based primarily on rent escalation clauses related to
    future renewal periods of cell site leases; an increase of $33
    million in the equity loss from the network sharing venture with
    Cingular also related to cell site leases; a reduction of $53
    million in depreciation expense to adjust the depreciable life of
    leasehold improvements; and a reduction of $36 million in the loss
    provision related to dissolution of the network sharing joint
    venture with Cingular. Financial results for 2004 and prior
    periods have not been restated.

    The following table provides the impact of the cumulative
    adjustment as it relates to the quarterly results in 2004 as if
    restated.

(3) The average cash cost of serving customers, or Cash Cost Per User
    ("CCPU") is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes all network
    and general and administrative costs as well as the subsidy loss
    on equipment (handsets and accessories) sales unrelated to
    customer acquisition. This measure is calculated as a per month
    average by dividing the total costs for the specified period by
    the average total customers during the period and further dividing
    by the number of months in the period. We believe that CCPU, which
    is a measure of the costs of serving a customer, provides relevant
    and useful information to our investors and is used by our
    management to evaluate the operating performance of our business.

(4) Cost Per Gross Add ("CPGA") is a non-GAAP financial measure and is
    calculated by dividing the costs of acquiring a new customer,
    consisting of customer acquisition costs plus the subsidy loss on
    equipment (handsets and accessories) sales related to customer
    acquisition for the specified period, divided by gross customers
    added during the period. We believe that CPGA, which is a measure
    of the cost of acquiring a customer, provides relevant and useful
    information to our investors and is used by our management to
    evaluate the operating performance of our business.

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

(6) 2004 amounts exclude our investment to fund capital expenditures
    in the network sharing joint venture with Cingular Wireless LLC
    ("Cingular"). 2005 amounts include capital expenditures in the
    coverage areas previously served by the venture.

(7) 2004 amounts include sites in New York, California and Nevada
    previously owned and operated by our network sharing joint
    venture.

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