Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

UScellular operates a capital-intensive business. In the past, UScellular’s existing cash and investment balances, funds available under its financing agreements, and cash flows from operating and certain investing and financing activities, including sales of assets or businesses, provided sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility for UScellular to meet its day-to-day operating needs and debt service requirements, to finance the build-out and enhancement of markets and to fund wireless spectrum license acquisitions. There is no assurance that this will be the case in the future. UScellular has incurred negative free cash flow at times in past periods, and this could occur in future periods.

UScellular believes that existing cash and investment balances, funds available under its financing agreements, its ability to obtain future external financing, potential dispositions and expected cash flows from operating and investing activities will provide sufficient liquidity for UScellular to meet its day-to-day operating needs and debt service requirements. UScellular may require substantial additional funding for, among other uses, capital expenditures, agreements to purchase goods or services, leases, repurchases of shares, or making additional investments. It may be necessary from time to time to increase the size of its existing credit facilities, to amend existing or put in place new credit agreements, to obtain other forms of financing, issue equity securities, or to divest assets in order to fund potential expenditures. UScellular will continue to monitor the rapidly changing business and market conditions and is reducing costs and intends to take other appropriate actions, as necessary, to meet its liquidity needs. Due to its lack of scale and structural disadvantages, UScellular has higher costs per subscriber than its competitors and is balancing the timing of investments, such as its continued 5G deployment, with liquidity considerations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market investments. The primary objective of UScellular's Cash and cash equivalents investment activities is to preserve principal.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The majority of UScellular’s Cash and cash equivalents are held in money market funds that purchase only debt issued by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government agencies. Refer to the Consolidated Cash Flow Analysis for additional information related to changes in Cash and cash equivalents.

In addition to Cash and cash equivalents, UScellular had available undrawn borrowing capacity from the following debt facilities at March 31, 2025.

Receivables Securitization Agreement448

Financing

Revolving Credit Agreement

UScellular has an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a maximum borrowing capacity of $300 million. Amounts under the agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until maturity in July 2026. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the agreement, and UScellular's unused borrowing capacity was $300 million.

In April 2025, UScellular amended the revolving credit agreement to extend the maturity date to July 2027 and allow for permitted dispositions, as specified in the amendment. The amendment also includes a provision that will be triggered upon the sale of the UScellular wireless operations to T-Mobile, which accelerates the maturity date to the earliest of (i) 270 days following the consummation of the sale of the UScellular wireless operations to T-Mobile, (ii) the date on which UScellular receives net proceeds from the cumulative sale of wireless spectrum licenses to AT&T, Verizon and other parties that equals or exceeds $1.1 billion, or (iii) July 20, 2027. Additionally, the amendment to the UScellular revolving credit agreement includes a provision that will be triggered upon UScellular receiving net proceeds from the cumulative sale of wireless spectrum licenses to AT&T, Verizon and other parties that equals or exceeds $500 million, which provision would automatically reduce the maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving credit agreement from $300 million to $150 million five business days after UScellular's receipt of such net proceeds.

Term Loan Agreements

UScellular has unsecured term loan agreements with maximum borrowing capacities of $800 million. The maturity dates for the agreements range from July 2026 to July 2031. As of March 31, 2025, UScellular has borrowed the full amount available under the agreements and the outstanding borrowings were $718 million.

In April 2025, UScellular amended the $300 million term loan agreement due July 2026 to extend the maturity date to July 2027 and allow for permitted dispositions, as specified in the amendment.

Debt Covenants

The revolving credit agreement, term loan agreements, export credit financing agreement and receivables securitization agreement require UScellular to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, which include certain financial covenants that may restrict the borrowing capacity available. UScellular is required to maintain the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, based on gross debt, as of the end of any fiscal quarter at a level not to exceed the following: 4.00 to 1.00 from April 1, 2024 through and including March 31, 2025; 3.75 to 1.00 from April 1, 2025 and thereafter. UScellular is also required to maintain the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio at a level not lower than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. UScellular believes that it was in compliance as of March 31, 2025 with all such financial covenants.

In April 2025, the revolving credit agreement and the $300 million term loan agreement were amended to require, upon the consummation of the sale of the UScellular wireless operations to T-Mobile, UScellular to maintain the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, based on net debt, as of the end of any fiscal quarter from and including the quarter in which such sale occurs at a level not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures (i.e., additions to property, plant and equipment and system development expenditures; excludes wireless spectrum license additions), which include the effects of accruals and capitalized interest, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are expected to be used principally for the following purposes:

Continue to deploy 5G using mid-band spectrum to provide additional speed and capacity to accommodate increased data usage by current customers; and

Invest in information technology to support existing and new services and products.

In 2019-2023, UScellular focused capital expenditures on 5G coverage and predominantly used low-band spectrum to launch 5G services in portions of substantially all of its markets. During 2023 and 2024, UScellular focused on deploying 5G over its mid-band spectrum, largely overlapping areas already covered with low-band 5G service to enhance speed and capacity for UScellular’s mobility and fixed wireless services. Capital expenditures decreased by $78 million or 60% in line with the expectations that continued 5G deployment in 2025 will focus on adding speed and capacity to existing areas.

UScellular intends to finance its capital expenditures for 2025 using primarily Cash flows from operating activities, existing cash balances and, as required, additional debt financing from its existing agreements and/or other forms of available financing.

Divestitures

See Note 6 — Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to divestitures.

Other Obligations

UScellular will require capital for future spending on existing contractual obligations, including long-term debt obligations; lease commitments; commitments for device purchases, network facilities and transport services; agreements for software licensing; long-term marketing programs; and other agreements to purchase goods or services.

Variable Interest Entities

UScellular consolidates certain “variable interest entities” as defined under GAAP. See Note 9 — Variable Interest Entities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to these variable interest entities. UScellular may elect to make additional capital contributions and/or advances to these variable interest entities in future periods to fund their operations.

Common Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, UScellular repurchased 328,835 Common Shares for $21 million at an average cost per share of $63.49. As of March 31, 2025, the total cumulative amount of UScellular Common Shares authorized to be repurchased is 658,107. For additional information related to the current repurchase authorization, see Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Dividends

UScellular has not paid any cash dividends in recent periods and currently intends to retain all earnings for use in UScellular’s business. However, UScellular expects the agreement with T-Mobile combined with various wireless spectrum license transactions that were announced to deliver substantial proceeds. When the T-Mobile transaction closes, which is subject to regulatory approval, UScellular expects the UScellular Board of Directors to declare the first of potentially several, special dividends to UScellular shareholders.
