“The TDS Family of Companies’ ongoing commitment to quality networks supports our mission of providing outstanding communications services to our customers,” said LeRoy T. Carlson, Jr., TDS President and CEO. “Our customers are benefiting from the deployments of mid-band spectrum and fiber.

“UScellular continues to balance subscriber growth with financial discipline in this highly competitive environment. Though we lost postpaid customers in the first quarter, UScellular made progress in postpaid churn reduction. Increased postpaid ARPU and ongoing cost optimization programs drove notable improvements in profitability.

“TDS Telecom is seeing strong growth in revenue and profitability primarily as a result of the significant broadband investments made over the past couple of years. With steady fiber service address delivery and successful selling activities, TDS Telecom reached a milestone by exceeding 100,000 residential broadband connections in our expansion markets. TDS Telecom deployed an additional 28,000 marketable fiber service addresses in the first quarter and is on track to reach its goal of delivering 125,000 new marketable service addresses in 2024.”

Exploration of Strategic Alternatives for UScellular
On August 4, 2023, TDS and UScellular announced that the Boards of Directors of both companies decided to initiate a process to explore a range of strategic alternatives for UScellular. The review remains active and on-going.

2024 Estimated Results
TDS’ current estimates of full-year 2024 results for UScellular and TDS Telecom are shown below. Such estimates represent management’s view as of May 3, 2024 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 reconcile EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA to the corresponding GAAP measures, Net income or Income before income taxes. In providing 2024 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.

1EBITDA, 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 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, nonrecurring expenses, 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, gains and losses, and expenses related to the strategic alternatives review of UScellular 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 March 31, 2024, can be found on TDS' website at investors.tdsinc.com.
22024 Estimated Results do not reflect any anticipated costs, expenses or results of the strategic alternatives review referenced above.

1First quarter 2024 connections were adjusted to remove subscribers that could no longer access the UScellular network due to the CDMA shutdown. This resulted in 11,000 and 2,000 subscribers removed from the postpaid and prepaid base, respectively, that are not included in Net additions (losses) for the quarter.
2Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) - metric is calculated by dividing a revenue base by an average number of connections and by the number of months in the period. These revenue bases and connection populations are shown below:
•Postpaid ARPU consists of total postpaid service revenues and postpaid connections.
•Prepaid ARPU consists of total prepaid service revenues and prepaid connections.
3Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA) - metric is calculated by dividing total postpaid service revenues by the average number of postpaid accounts and by the number of months in the period.
4Handset upgrade rate calculated as total handset upgrade transactions divided by average postpaid handset connections.
5Churn rate represents the percentage of the connections that disconnect service each month. These rates represent the average monthly churn rate for each respective period.
6Fourth quarter 2023 Prepaid ARPU excludes a $6 million reduction of prepaid revenue related to an adjustment to correct a prior period error recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
7Market penetration is calculated by dividing the number of wireless connections at the end of the period by the total estimated population of consolidated operating markets.
