TDS reports second quarter 2020 resultsContinuing to provide outstanding communications services to our customers CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2020

CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

As previously announced, TDS will hold a teleconference August 7, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. CDT. Listen to the call live via the Events & Presentations page ofinvestors.tdsinc.com.

Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (NYSE:TDS) reported total operating revenues of $1,263 million for the second quarter of 2020, versus $1,261 million for the same period one year ago. Net income attributable to TDS shareholders and related diluted earnings per share were $65 million and $0.56, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $33 million and $0.28, respectively, in the same period one year ago.

"The TDS Enterprise and its family of companies remains strong through the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic," said LeRoy T. Carlson, Jr., TDS President and CEO. "U.S. Cellular and TDS Telecom continue to provide essential communication and high-quality data services to our customers and communities. Our associates have shown exceptional dedication and resiliency in keeping our operations and networks performing at top levels. TDS also is maintaining a strong and flexible financial foundation.

"At U.S. Cellular, LT Therivel has moved seamlessly into his new role as CEO. He is focused on observing, learning and understanding all facets of the organization, meeting with U.S. Cellular associates and identifying new opportunities and ways to accelerate growth. I am confident LT's leadership, experience and collaborative style will build upon the many successes that U.S. Cellular has already achieved. U.S. Cellular's top priority remains to continuously adapt to fully meet the wireless needs of the communities and customers we serve. Despite COVID-19, most U.S. Cellular stores are now open and they continue to follow strong safety measures to keep our customers and associates safe. Exceptionally low levels of churn have offset lower store traffic and enabled U.S. Cellular to increase smartphone connections in the quarter. Our network modernization program continues, adding capacity and speed, launching 5G services commercially, and preparing for remaining VoLTE deployments. In these unprecedented times, our high-quality network has remained strong. I am pleased U.S. Cellular ranked #1 in the North Central Region in the J.D. Power 2020 Wireless Network Quality Performance Study.

"TDS Telecom continues to successfully meet significant demand for higher data speeds and increased network capacity across its footprint. Growth in Wireline video and broadband connections, coupled with demand for higher broadband speeds, drove increases in average residential revenue per connection. Cable connections also grew rapidly driven by strong increases in broadband connections. TDS Telecom continues to move forward with fiber deployment in out-of-territory expansion markets. A total of 25,000 service addresses in the out-of-territory markets were added in the first half of the year increasing total fiber service addresses to 265,000. In rolling out new markets, the safety of our customers, field service technicians and sales representatives remains a top priority. We have implemented our safety procedures that minimize the amount of work technicians do within the home through encouraging self-service and remote customer assistance techniques."

2020 Estimated Results

TDS' current estimates of full-year 2020 results for U.S. Cellular and TDS Telecom are shown below. Such estimates represent management's view as of August 6, 2020 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, especially in light of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In providing 2020 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.

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, 1and 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, 2020, can be found on TDS' website at investors.tdsinc.com.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:All information set forth in this news release, except historical and factual information, represents forward-looking statements. This includes all statements about the company's plans, beliefs, estimates, and expectations. These statements are based on current estimates, projections, and assumptions, which involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may affect these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the impact, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; intense competition; the ability to execute TDS' business strategy; uncertainties in TDS' future cash flows and liquidity and access to the capital markets; the ability to make payments on TDS and U.S. Cellular indebtedness or comply with the terms of debt covenants; the ability to obtain or maintain roaming arrangements with other carriers on acceptable terms; the ability to obtain access to adequate radio spectrum to meet current or anticipated future needs, including participation in FCC auctions; the state and federal regulatory environment; the ability to attract people of outstanding talent throughout all levels of the organization; conditions in the U.S. telecommunications industry; TDS' smaller scale relative to larger competitors; changes in demand, consumer preferences, price competition, or churn rates; advances in technology; the value of assets and investments; impacts of costs, integration problems or other factors associated with acquisitions, divestitures or exchanges of properties or licenses and/or expansion of TDS' businesses; the ability of the company to successfully construct and manage its networks; difficulties involving third parties; cyber-attacks or other breaches of network or information technology security; changes in facts and circumstances that could require TDS to record adjustments to amounts reflected in the financial statements; disruption in credit or other financial markets; deterioration of U.S. or global economic conditions; pending and future litigation. Investors are encouraged to consider these and other risks and uncertainties that are more fully described under "Risk Factors" in the most recent filing of TDS' Form 10-K, as updated by any TDS Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Form 10-K.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TDS' business is uncertain, but depending on its duration and severity it could have a material adverse effect on TDS' business, financial condition or results of operations.

The impact of the recent global spread of COVID-19 on TDS' future operations is uncertain. Public health emergencies, such as COVID-19, pose the risk that TDS or its associates, agents, partners and suppliers may be unable to conduct business activities for an extended period of time and/or provide the level of service expected. TDS' ability to attract customers, maintain an adequate supply chain and execute on its business strategies and initiatives could be negatively impacted by this outbreak. Additionally, COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause increased unemployment, economic downturn and credit market deterioration, all of which could negatively impact TDS. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on TDS' business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future circumstances, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, actions taken by governmental authorities and other possible direct and indirect consequences, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
