Did TMUS Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
T-Mobile US posted a largely in-line but strategically impressive third quarter for fiscal 2025, with earnings per share of $2.41 edging past the $2.40 consensus estimate by 0.39%, even as revenue of $21.96 billion came in just 0.10% below expectations while still growing 8.9% year-over-year. The headline numbers, however, undersell the quarter's significance: the company recorded its best-ever total postpaid net customer additions, fueled in large part by the closed UScellular acquisition, which folded roughly 3.3 million postpaid phone customers into T-Mobile's base and helped push total connections to a record 139.9 million. Net income of $2.71 billion slipped 11.3% year-over-year, weighed down by a $278 million software impairment charge, while capital expenditures surged 35% as network integration accelerated. Management responded to the momentum by raising full-year postpaid net addition guidance to 7.2 to 7.4 million and lifting Core Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $33.70 to $33.90 billion, signaling confidence heading into a period of CEO transition.
