"The TDS Family of Companies continues to execute on its multi-year strategies, while focusing intensely on cost containment," said LeRoy T. Carlson, Jr., TDS President and CEO. "UScellular has begun deploying mid-band 5G spectrum, and TDS Telecom is making solid progress on its fiber program.

"At UScellular, postpaid handset subscriber trends improved slightly year-over-year driven by improvements in churn, however, subscriber results remained challenged overall as gross additions declined. Two of UScellular's growth areas, fixed wireless and the tower portfolio, produced year-over-year double-digit increases in gross additions and revenues, respectively. In July, UScellular surpassed 100,000 fixed wireless customers – a key milestone as momentum for the product continues.

"TDS Telecom grew its residential revenue per connection and increased total residential broadband connections for the quarter. TDS Telecom continues to execute its broadband growth strategy through its multi-year fiber expansion program."

Recent Development: On August 4, 2023, TDS and UScellular announced a process to explore a range of strategic alternatives for UScellular.

The following tables reconcile EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA to the corresponding GAAP measures, Net income or Income before income taxes. In providing 2023 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, 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, 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, 2023, can be found on TDS' website at investors.tdsinc.com.

During the second quarter of 2023, TDS repurchased 255,090 of its Common Shares for $3 million.
