CHICAGO (November 7, 2025) — Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.

Net income (loss) attributable to TDS common shareholders and related diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations were $40.2 million and $0.33, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $(100.4) million and $(0.88), respectively, in the same period one year ago.

*Comparisons are 3Q’24 to 3Q’25 unless otherwise noted. Note that in September 2024, TDS sold its Hosted and Managed Services (HMS) operations. This 2024 transaction affects year-over-year revenue comparisons at the consolidated level. HMS operating revenues were $34 million in Q3 2024.

“With a strong portfolio and increased financial flexibility, we see tremendous opportunities ahead for the TDS enterprise,” said Walter Carlson, TDS President and CEO. “We crossed the 1 million fiber passings milestone at TDS Telecom in the quarter and are continuing to execute on our robust fiber strategy through ongoing fiber expansion and E-ACAM programs.

“Now that we have Array established as a standalone tower company, we are ready to announce its next step in leadership, selecting Anthony Carlson to be Array’s President and CEO. Anthony’s substantial and increasing responsibilities at UScellular and TDS Telecom over the past six years provide him with the right foundation to lead Array’s growing tower business and provide strategic vision to its operations.

“We are extremely grateful to Doug Chambers for his nearly two decades of contributions, most recently overseeing the successful launch of Array as a new tower business. We wish Doug great success in his new endeavors.

“Further, the TDS Board adopted a $500 million share repurchase program as part of our overall capital allocation plan. The timing will be determined at the Company’s discretion and dependent upon successful closings of the announced spectrum transactions. This authorization reflects the Board’s confidence in the Company’s long-term strategy and demonstrates our balanced approach to capital allocation.”

2025 Estimated Results
TDS’ current estimates of full-year 2025 results for TDS Telecom are shown below. Such estimates represent management’s view as of November 7, 2025 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 2025 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, 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.

Stock Repurchase
During the third quarter, TDS repurchased 1,077,564 Common Shares for $40.7 million. In addition, the TDS Board authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $500 million of its outstanding Common stock. This new repurchase program does not have an expiration and is additive to the existing share repurchase authorization.

Array Adjusted Free Cash Flow (AFCF)

AFCF is a non-GAAP measure defined as Net income from continuing operations adjusted for the items set forth in the reconciliation below. AFCF is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income from continuing operations or as an indicator of cash flows.

Management believes AFCF is a useful measure of Array’s cash generated from operations and investments. The following table reconciles AFCF to the corresponding GAAP measure, Net income from continuing operations. This measure will only be presented prospectively as following the sale of Array's wireless operations to T-Mobile on August 1, 2025, the primary business operations for Array changed from providing wireless communications services to a standalone tower company. In addition, Array continues to own noncontrolling interests in investments that earn significant income, and generate significant cash flows.
