Deutsche Telekom Exceeds Expectations with Strong Q1 Results for T-Mobile
Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile, has delivered impressive first-quarter results that have outperformed analysts' expectations. This achievement not only highlights the company’s robust financial health but also showcases T-Mobile's growing market presence amidst stiff competition in the telecommunications sector.
T-Mobile's owner, Deutsche Telekom, has reason to celebrate as the company reported an increase in its first-quarter core profit, surpassing analyst forecasts. The company posted adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA AL) of 11.3 billion euros (approximately 12.7 billion dollars), reflecting a 7.9% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Analysts had predicted earnings of 11.1 billion euros based on the company's own survey.
T-Mobile US has also lifted its profit expectations, despite growth in wireless subscribers being slower than anticipated. The company reported remarkable results for the first quarter of 2025, labeling it not only the best Q1 in its history but also the strongest quarter in the industry as a whole. T-Mobile added 1.3 million postpaid customers this quarter, which includes 495,000 new phone customers and 424,000 new internet subscribers—leading the sector in customer growth. This performance contributed to a 5% year-over-year increase in service revenue, totaling $16.9 billion, while postpaid revenue rose 8% to $13.6 billion. Net profit reached $3.0 billion, marking a substantial 24% increase from the same period last year.
