Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

So April 29, you announced plans to merge with Sprint, we were all taken totally by surprise. Let’s talk about what you’re doing to get ready.

 

 

G. Michael Sievert T-Mobile US, Inc. – President & COO

Come on, that was - give Brett a little while.

 

 

Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

It’s such a bad joke. I was talking about what you’re doing to get ready. I mean, obviously there’s limits to what you can do before you’ve actually formally combined, but it is a question you get. Is there anything you can do to be prepared for integration, so that when you begin the integration, it’s not disruptive?

 

 

G. Michael Sievert T-Mobile US, Inc. – President & COO

All kinds of stuff, and it’s well underway. We’ve got a full integration team going, functional leads in every function at both companies, weekly steering meetings, deep work happening and it really starts with the network. We - this whole premise of this whole story of the new T-Mobile started with the network and so does the integration plan. One of the things that’s interesting is and we get asked a lot, the roaming deal that we put in place with Sprint for the pendency of the deal and the circumstance where the deal could be abandoned later is actually really important allocation element, because that roaming agreement aligns both engineering teams and both commercial teams to the kinds of activities during the pendency of the deal that you would want to be done in preparation for the new T-Mobile. So things like giving Sprint the proper incentive to make sure that all their handset procurement is entirely compatible with the destination networks. Things like implementing more advanced roaming capabilities to allow for future load-balancing of the network as they come together in one company and other investments. So the teams are well underway and getting ready for this merger. And yes, of course, the other piece of activity that’s also taking up an awful lot of our cycles is working on getting the deal approved. And we’re about 5 months in now since we announced the deal. And when we announced the deal, we said at the time, we were highly confident in the story and in the ultimate odds of approval. What’s different now versus then is we’re 5 months in. We’ve met with every major agency and government in detail, taken them through our story, had a chance to tell them quantitatively and qualitatively what it’s all about, had a chance to field their questions and see their reactions. We’re finding the government constructive, open-minded, detail-oriented. You saw the detail orientation of the announcement yesterday, they were stopping the clock temporarily. That’s all good news. What it means

is this going to be a debate that unfolds based on facts and economic analysis, not on rhetoric. And when you look at this with facts and economic analysis, what you find is that the massive expansion in capacity that the new T-Mobile will create, will create more competition, better circumstances for consumers, and we know the government, once they really understand that, will see the merits in it.

 

 

Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

You agree that shot clock, does that change your view on when the deal might get approved?

 

 

G. Michael Sievert T-Mobile US, Inc. – President & COO

Not at all.

 

 

J. Braxton Carter T-Mobile US, Inc. - Executive VP & CFO

It was totally expected.

Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

It’s remarkable to hear about tailwinds, when one of the things that happened over last year is you’ve essentially had a new competitor in the form of cable companies come into your space. And so I’m curious for your thoughts on that. Do you feel like that the success they’ve been having has been in any way hurting your momentum in the market? And then the other side of this is, why aren’t you an MVNO partner with cable companies? And is that something the new company might be better positioned to do?

 

 

G. Michael Sievert T-Mobile US, Inc. – President & COO

Well, the new company is a big friend of the whole MVNO concept, just like T-Mobile is. Why? Because capacity. The whole premise of the new company - of the new T-Mobile is that we’re going to create a network with unprecedented capacity. That’s great for consumers in the core branded business, but it also makes the company strategically even more aligned to MVNOs for obvious reasons. So that’s potentially great.

J. Braxton Carter T-Mobile US, Inc. - Executive VP & CFO

We’re the challenger. We have everything to gain and that is our stated philosophy, and we’re very confident that we’re going to be a growth company for many years to come, stand-alone or new T-Mobile, given this geographical expansion, which doesn’t change with NewCo and given the massive opportunity we have in business.

Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

So is 290 million the next distribution target you would logically try to get to?

It is. Yes, and if you think that’s about where, for example, Verizon is. So that represents, call it, full penetration for our distribution footprint. Now I think an awful lot of that opportunity will come after we create the new T-Mobile. Because I want to get to that - those markets, but I also want to get to them with a super competitive service, because the - economically, it’s a much better return for everyone here if we go into more rural places with a set of offers that really are blockbuster better than what the competition can offer. That way I can expect better household penetration per distribution and marketing dollars spent in the area. So a lot of our aspirations are tied to that.

Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

And so Braxton, I want to ask you about EBITDA and margins. When we think about the EBITDA growth that you have experienced, it’s been predominantly the result of driving growth in services revenue. But one of the things that really hasn’t changed is the relationship between SG&A and services revenue. So you’ve been at about 41% of your services revenue going into SG&A for a few years now. And just for context the largest operator in the sector is at 26%. And so a common question we get is, what’s going to cause more operating leverage to show up through the SG&A line?

 

 

J. Braxton Carter T-Mobile US, Inc. - Executive VP & CFO

For the beauty of scale, right? When you really look at the SG&A component, you’re right. We’ve been scaling it, but not much scale there. And what it really relates to is the S part of the equation, the selling piece of it. And as we’ve continued to significantly ramp the base, we have to, even at a declining significant - significantly declining churn environment, replace the customers who organically churning off the network. But when you look at the growth trajectory on a year-over-year basis, there can certainly be quarterly variation. We’re actually putting more variable cost into the system, which is preventing the scale. If our growth would slow down, you’d see a massive expansion in the SG&A part of the scaling of the business and in the overall margins of the company. So that’s part of the dynamic. You’ve seen more scale on the network side of the equation. With massive fixed costs and even this year, with operating costs going up $400 million a year relating to the geographical expansion of the network as a percentage of service revenue, we’ve still seen really nice scaling there. So our outlook going forward is continued and consistent margin expansion on a stand-alone basis and then you have the massive unlock that ultimately will come with the creation of NewCo, once we get past the whole integration of the network period and the cost to achieve everything that will be done from operational and brand strategy with that merger. And at that point, there should be no reason why we don’t have equivalent if not better margin from the scale duopoly.

Unidentified Audience Member

So when I pitch T-Mobile as my single best idea to managers, the pushback that I get generally is, kind of, around 5G and what’s going to happen. So one is that you guys have been intentionally ambiguous about backhaul and power, because you don’t have a concrete plan at this time or it’s going to be a big cost that you don’t want to talk about? And the second one is that you’re going to dump all this capital for 5G, but you don’t really have a plan or you’re not counting on more revenue per relationship or per household from 5G. And so there’s not a tangible IRR that comes with that 5G investment and build out. So could you just hit each of those off and to kill this bear thesis on your stock and in the industry? And then I’ll tell you what my price target is.

G. Michael Sievert T-Mobile US, Inc. - President & COO

That’s one of the reasons why the business — the stand-alone case is compelling because it fits into our capital profile because of this two-for-one, right? I mean, we said that the most common thing for us economically and strategically is to convince everybody we have the best network in order to get that next wave of growth. And one of the things that, I think, Braxton and I and the rest of team are proud of is we’ve consistently planted seeds that we can then harvest 2 and 3 years later, whether it was the auction, whether it was the retail expansion, over and over again we’ve done that. And being the first to nationwide 5G in this stand-alone plan, and doing it while tucking it into our capital profile, is the thing that allows us 2 years from now to really be able to answer that question of who’s got the competitive network and continue to take share in this market against all these underpenetrated segments. In the new T-Mobile, it’s totally different.

 

 

J. Braxton Carter T-Mobile US, Inc. - Executive VP & CFO

It is.

 

 

G. Michael Sievert T-Mobile US, Inc. - President & COO

This is really about creating an unprecedented network experience the country has never seen before with average speeds nationwide of 450 megabits per second, not in some parts of Indianapolis, but across the country, every single customer median speed. 100 megabits per second to 90% of Americans. This is game changing in terms of our ability to grab share. And in the NewCo financial profile, we showed you that pro forma the 2 companies are in the $70-some billion range when we combine. And we have aspirations to be north of $100 billion. And the difference at high margin is an incredible economic opportunity that we’ll be able to deliver while unlocking $43 billion of synergies. The last word on this is one of the way that we’ll get that is by attacking in-home broadband. In addition to everything I just said, really interesting upside for new T-Mobile, is to attack the least competitive and most hated industry in this sector, which is home broadband, cable companies. And we are going to be able to do it with the mid-band product that, unlike AT&T and Verizon’s aspiration of being in maybe 30 million POPs, which I don’t know if they’ll get to, is nationwide. We’ll market home broadband in 52% of U.S. ZIP Codes, 2/3 of Comcast territories. We’ll have more homes passed than they do in home broadband with the new T-Mobile with millions of units actually sold to customers and that is a really interesting upside in addition to everything I just laid out on the mobile side.

 

 

Brett Feldman Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity Analyst

Time to squeeze in one last question. So Braxton, I got to ask, in the S-4 there’s an amendment to your employment agreement. And the way it reads and implies, you might be thinking about retiring soon? Is this your last Communacopia?

 

 

J. Braxton Carter T-Mobile US, Inc. - Executive VP & CFO

Why would I want to retire? Do you know how much fun it’s working with John Legere and the rest of the team. Hey, I am 100% committed. I love my company. I’m going on my 18th year and the value creation that we’re going to achieve with the creation of NewCo. And God forbid, without NewCo on a stand-alone basis, the backstop on the buyback and the value creation that’s going to come from that, given the massive cash generation of this business, I’ve never been more excited about the future of our business. I love it and I’m having a great time. So don’t count me out yet.
