T-Mobile published its Q4 2017 results on Friday, February 9, reporting revenues that missed street expectations although earnings and operating metrics were roughly in line with the consensus. While the company added 891k post-paid phone subscribers over the quarter, marking a decline from about 933k in the year-ago period, T-Mobile still posted the higher growth in the industry.
Postpaid Churn Improved
T-Mobile’s branded postpaid phone churn also came in at a record Q4 low of 1.18 %, down 10 bps from the year-earlier quarter. However, the company’s prepaid operations had a more mixed quarter, with net adds declining to 149k, on account of higher competitive activity in the market as well as a de-emphasis on the legacy T-Mobile prepaid brand. Overall, 2018 could prove to be another strong year on the operating front for T-Mobile. The company is looking to improve its deployment of low-band spectrum while continuing its expansion of retail stores and it’s possible that this could help it to further its market share in the postpaid space.
