T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert appeared at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference and attended a fireside chat with UBS’s John Hodulik today. Sievert expressed confidence in the company’s full-year guidance, with a strong holiday Q4 season, sharing that switching, which remains as robust as ever, continues to offer an enormous opportunity for T-Mobile. At the conference, Sievert had shared that the company expects to deliver on its full year postpaid phone net additions guidance of 3 million, and full year postpaid ARPA growth of around 3%.

“It was great to be back at UBS sharing my continued optimism around T-Mobile’s growth plans and that our Q4 and year are very much on track,” said Sievert. “My comments explaining normal seasonal trends in Q4 were misinterpreted by one media outlet as a warning, so I want to make sure there is no investor confusion. To be clear, our Q4 is trending at least in line with prior expectations, maybe better. We continue to expect to deliver about 3 million postpaid phone net additions for the year, or more. Q3 was a fantastic growth quarter for T-Mobile and our growth momentum continues in Q4."

Sievert also discussed opportunities for additional growth in under-penetrated areas such as SMRA, enterprise and large governments, including having the highest share of switchers in Q3 since the merger. The company also sees opportunity to further win in enterprise and large governments with its exciting solutions that will further create TAM.

He also discussed the additional runway the company sees to deepen relationships with customers and grow both ARPA and ARPU from customers continuing to self-select up the rate plan, with more than double the incremental customers or over 60% loading onto premium plans than those currently on premium.

Sievert recapped the company’s strategies shared during its recent Capital Markets Day to continue to deliver customer love at scale through its ongoing digital and technology transformation, underscoring the enormous potential for its T-Life app to continue to create a more seamless and immersive customer experience.

Some of the reiterated multi-year expectations include:

• T-Mobile continues to expect to deliver industry-leading customer growth
• Industry-leading service revenue growth (~5% CAGR through 2027), Adjusted EBITDA growth (~7% CAGR through 2027), and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion (~25% in 2027)
• Business plan supports ~$80B in capacity for investments and shareholder returns through 2027
