PR Newswire
CHICAGO, Aug. 1, 2019
CHICAGO, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
As previously announced, TDS will hold a teleconference August 2, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. CDT. Listen to the call live via the Events & Presentations page of investors.tdsinc.com.
Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (NYSE:TDS) reported total operating revenues of $1,261 million for the second quarter of 2019, versus $1,255 million for the same period one year ago. Net income attributable to TDS shareholders and related diluted earnings per share were $33 million and $0.28, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $33 million and $0.29, respectively, in the same period one year ago.
"The TDS family of companies produced solid financial results for the second quarter of 2019 and made significant progress toward achieving their long-term strategic goals," said LeRoy T. Carlson, Jr., TDS President and CEO. "U.S. Cellular grew service revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, while sustaining high customer loyalty, and it continued making enhancements to its high-performing network. TDS Telecom expanded its broadband customer base, increased profitability and continued implementing its fiber deployment strategy.
"U.S. Cellular grew service revenues through an increase in average revenue per user, driven by growing interest of customers in its Total Plans, and through higher inbound roaming revenues. Customer satisfaction remained high throughout the quarter and drove very low postpaid handset churn rates. U.S. Cellular is moving steadily forward on its 5G deployment and network modernization initiatives. In the recent FCC millimeter wave auctions, U.S. Cellular successfully acquired new licenses providing access to high frequency spectrum over its footprint, that are needed to deliver exciting, new very high speed capabilities using 5G to our current and future customers.
"TDS Telecom generated both top line and bottom line growth, reporting a 60 percent increase in Net income and a 9 percent increase in Adjusted EBITDA, compared to the same quarter last year. Both Wireline and Cable segments reported increased broadband connections and higher revenue per connection. In Wireline, increasing video connections and customer demand for higher broadband speeds continue to offset legacy voice declines. Wireline continued fiber expansion growth even deeper into its markets while expanding its fiber footprint in attractive out-of-territory markets in Wisconsin and Idaho. Cable operations produced an outstanding quarter, generating 9 percent growth in cable revenues which drove a 29 percent increase in Adjusted EBITDA, compared to the same quarter last year."
2019 Estimated Results
TDS' current estimates of full-year 2019 results for U.S. Cellular, TDS Telecom, and TDS are shown below. Such estimates represent management's view as of August 1, 2019 and should not be assumed to be current as of any future date. TDS undertakes no duty to update such estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that final results will not differ materially from estimated results.

The following tables provide reconciliations of Net income to Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA for 2019 estimated results, actual results for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and actual results for the year ended December 31, 2018. In providing 2019 estimated results, TDS has not completed the below reconciliation to Net income because it does not provide guidance for income taxes. Although potentially significant, TDS believes that the impact of income taxes cannot be reasonably predicted; therefore, TDS is unable to provide such guidance.

(1) | The TDS column includes U.S. Cellular, TDS Telecom and also the impacts of consolidating eliminations, corporate operations and non-reportable segments. |
(2) | EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are defined as net income adjusted for the items set forth in the reconciliation above. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are not measures of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered as alternatives to Net income or Cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of cash flows or as measures of liquidity. TDS does not intend to imply that any such items set forth in the reconciliation above are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual; such items may occur in the future. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA as measurements of profitability, and therefore reconciliations to Net income are deemed appropriate. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA are useful measures of TDS' operating results before significant recurring non-cash charges, gains and losses, and other items as presented above as they provide additional relevant and useful information to investors and other users of TDS' financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of its operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance. Adjusted EBITDA shows adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, and gains and losses, while Adjusted OIBDA reduces this measure further to exclude Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities and Interest and dividend income in order to more effectively show the performance of operating activities excluding investment activities. The table above reconciles EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA to the corresponding GAAP measure, Net income or Income before income taxes. Additional information and reconciliations related to Non-GAAP financial measures for June 30, 2019, can be found on TDS' website at investors.tdsinc.com. |
