The market environment in Europe remained intensely competitive in
the first quarter of 2018. We rose to the challenge, recording substantial
growth of 9.1 percent in the number of FMC customers (fixed-mobile
convergence) in the first quarter of 2018, thanks in part to our conver-
gent product portfolio, MagentaOne. TV and broadband business also
continued to develop as a consistent revenue driver. Our mobile busi-
ness is growing overall, with increases reported in both the number of
high-value contract customers and the number of prepay customers
compared with the end of the prior year. In addition, we continued to
systematically roll out state-of-the-art fiber-optic-based lines (FTTH,
FTTB, and FTTC). As part of our integrated network strategy, we also in-
creased the number of IP lines – primarily thanks to the migration from
traditional PSTN lines to IP technology.

operating segment as of September 1, 2017. Prior-year comparatives were not adjusted.

Total revenue
In the first quarter of 2018, total revenue in our Systems Solutions
operating segment was down slightly year-on-year at EUR 1.7 billion.
This was primarily due to declining revenues from our traditional IT port­
folio. Compared with the same period last year, there was a noticeable
decline in revenue from international corporate customers, also due to
the general market contraction and to price erosion in our core market
of Western Europe. By contrast, our telecommunications revenues rose
7.5 percent year-on-year. Strategic growth areas such as digitalization
– e.g., cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and security – also ex-
hibited a positive trend, posting revenue growth relative to the prior-year
quarter.

First-quarter EBITDA decreased by EUR 0.5 billion year-on-year to

us to sell our stake in Strato last year. The divestiture resulted in income
of EUR 0.5 billion, which was recognized as special factors in the first
quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Group Development operating segment was


down 2.9 percent year-on-year. Forgone earnings following the decon-
solidation of Strato were the main cause of this decline. Adjusted EBITDA
at T-Mobile Netherlands decreased by 1.8 percent in the first quarter of
2018 owing to first-time application of IFRS 15 and to the effects of reg-
ulatory intervention.

Total revenue
Total revenue in our Group Headquarters & Group Services segment
decreased by 11.4 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2018. This
decline was mainly due to the fact that, as of January 2016, the costs of
intragroup development services newly commissioned from Deutsche
Telekom IT in Germany are no longer charged internally. Other reasons
for the decrease were forgone revenue from DeTeMedien, which was
sold effective June 2017, and lower revenue from land and buildings,
essentially due to further optimization of the use of space.

FORECAST
The statements in this section reflect the current views of our manage-
ment. Contrary to the forecasts published in the 2017 combined man-
agement report (2017 Annual Report, page 101 et seq.), we now expect
the Group’s adjusted EBITDA for the 2018 financial year to reach around
EUR 23.3 billion, up from the original forecast of around EUR 23.2 bil-
lion. This is largely attributable to stronger business performance in the
United States operating segment, where we now expect adjusted EBITDA
of around USD 11.4 billion, up from around USD 11.3 billion. All other
statements made in the 2017 combined management report remain
valid. For additional information and recent changes in the economic
situation, please refer to the section “The economic environment,”
pages 8 and 9, in this interim Group management report. Readers

MEDIA INFORMATION

Bonn, May 9, 2018

Deutsche Telekom continues to grow on both sides of the


Atlantic in the first quarter of 2018 and raises forecast

 Adjusted EBITDA of 23.3 billion euros expected for full-year 2018


 Revenue in organic terms rises 3.1 percent
 EBITDA in organic terms increases 6.6 percent
 Free cash flow up 12.5 percent to 1.4 billion euros
 Increase of 32.8 percent in net profit
 Over 10 million fiber-optic customers in Germany
 T-Mobile US remains on course for success and raises target for customer
growth
 Sustained uptrend in Europe

_______________________________________________________________

A good start to 2018 for Deutsche Telekom on both sides of the Atlantic: In the
first quarter of the year, net revenue rose by 3.1 percent year-on-year in organic
terms, i.e., adjusted for exchange rate effects and changes in the composition
of the Group. Adjusted EBITDA in organic terms increased by as much as
6.6 percent. The strong euro, which gained more than 15 percent against the
U.S. dollar in one year, impacted on the figures reported, reducing revenue by
3.9 percent to 17.9 billion euros. Reported adjusted EBITDA remained stable at
5.5 billion euros.

“We will remain on course for success in 2018,” said Tim Höttges, Chairman of
the Board of Management at Deutsche Telekom. “Our growth profile, which is
unique in our industry, enables us to raise our forecast once again.”

Page 1 of 10
Other key indicators are also trending upward. Free cash flow totaled 1.4 billion
euros in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 12.5 percent year-on-year. Due
to a marked decrease in the loss from financial activities, net profit rose by
32.8 percent to 1.0 billion euros. Adjusted net profit increased by 26.7 percent
to 1.2 billion euros.

Driven by developments in the United States, where T-Mobile US raised its


forecast after a strong first quarter, Deutsche Telekom is raising its guidance for
adjusted EBITDA in the full-year 2018 from around 23.2 to around 23.3 billion
euros. The free cash flow forecast remains unchanged at around 6.2 billion
euros.

Germany – milestone in fiber-optic customer number

More than 10 million customers in Germany use Deutsche Telekom’s fiber-optic


lines (FFTH, VDSL/vectoring). The overall number of customers increased in
the first quarter to 10.4 million, up 2.8 million or 37 percent year-on-year. A total
of 781,000 customer additions in the first three months of the year alone
pointed to a further record quarter as a result of the systematic rollout of the
fiber-optic network in Germany. By the end of the first quarter, 72.7 percent of
all fixed-network households were able to use fiber-optic products, compared
with just 65.7 percent a year earlier. Telekom increased its share of the
broadband market again with 95,000 customer additions. In all, 3.8 million
customers enjoy the advantages of the MagentaEINS product packages,
16.1 percent more than one year earlier.

In mobile communications, the mobile service revenues key indicator is


significantly influenced by a change in the accounting standard governing the
determination and recognition of revenue (IFRS 15). Excluding this effect gives
a substantial increase of 3.2 percent. Telekom thus continues to maintain its
leading market position in Germany. Thanks to the StreamOn option launched

Page 2 of 10
in April 2017, nearly 1.1 million Telekom customers are able to listen to music
and watch videos online without having to use their data volume for this.

Revenue in the Germany operating segment declined slightly by 1.3 percent to


5.3 billion euros in the reporting period. However, the segment’s service
revenues, excluding device sales, i.e., revenues from voice and data services
as well as add-on products such as Entertain, rose by around 1.2 percent. At
the same time, adjusted EBITDA grew by 1.3 percent to 2.1 billion euros. This
yielded an adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.1 percent, 1 percentage point higher
than in the previous year.

United States – the Un-carrier marches on

The United States sustained the now familiar picture in the first quarter.
T-Mobile US is continuing to grow rapidly in terms of customer numbers and
financial KPIs. For the 20th consecutive quarter, the company recorded more
than one million net customer additions. It had gained 1.4 million new
customers between January and March 2018. This trend is reinforced by the
extremely low churn rate. In the first quarter, this key indicator reached a record
low of 1.07 percent among branded postpaid customers. T-Mobile US had a
total of 74.0 million customers at the end of the reporting period.

Revenue also remained on a growth trajectory. In the first quarter, total revenue
increased by 8.7 percent year-on-year to 10.4 billion U.S. dollars. Adjusted
EBITDA climbed 12.8 percent to 2.9 billion U.S. dollars. T-Mobile US has
revised its forecasts for the current year upward and now expects postpaid net
customer additions of 2.6 to 3.3 million instead of the 2.0 to 3.0 million net
additions previously projected. Based on the U.S. GAAP accounting standards
applicable to the company, adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between
11.4 and 11.8 billion dollars instead of between 11.3 and 11.7 billion dollars as
previously targeted.

Europe – sustained positive trend

Page 3 of 10
The encouraging trends from 2017 in the European business also continued in
the new year. The number of customers who used fixed-mobile product
bundles reached 2.4 million at the end of the first quarter, an increase of 51.1
percent year-on-year. The success of the convergence strategy is expected to
be repeated in Austria following the announced acquisition of UPC Austria.

The financial KPIs likewise developed positively in the reporting period.


Revenue in the Europe operating segment increased by 1.1 percent to
2.8 billion euros, with adjusted EBITDA rising by 2.5 percent to 0.9 billion
euros. This also includes exchange rate effects. In organic terms, revenue grew
by 0.2 percent and adjusted EBITDA by 1.6 percent. The earnings trend
reflected in particular the reduction in indirect costs.

Systems Solutions – investments in new business weigh on results

Order entry at T-Systems in the first quarter rose by 18.2 percent year-on-year
to 1.5 billion euros. Revenue, on the other hand, decreased marginally by
2.3 percent to 1.7 billion euros. The IT Division continues to be affected by
price pressure in the industry and falling volumes.

On the earnings side, particularly the high expenses for new business areas
such as the Internet of Things, the cloud, and healthcare had an impact on the
Digital Division in the first quarter. Due to these start-up costs, adjusted
EBITDA decreased by 40.6 percent compared with the prior-year period to
57 million euros. Adjusted EBIT declined to minus 38 million euros. In spite of
this level of earnings, T-Systems is sticking to its targets for the year as a
whole.

Deutsche Telekom management with respect to future events. These forward-looking
statements include statements with regard to the expected development of revenue, earnings,
profits from operations, depreciation and amortization, cash flows, and personnel-related
measures. They should therefore be considered with caution. Such statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond Deutsche
Telekom's control. Among the factors that might influence Deutsche Telekom's ability to
achieve its objectives are the progress of its staff restructuring initiatives and other cost-saving
measures, and the impact of other significant strategic, labor, or business initiatives, including
acquisitions, dispositions, business combinations, and network upgrade and build-out
initiatives. In addition, stronger than expected competition, technological change, legal
proceedings and regulatory developments, among other factors, may have a material adverse
effect on cost and revenue development. Further, an economic downturn in the markets, and
changes in interest and currency exchange rates, may also have an impact on Deutsche
Telekom's business development and the availability of financing on favorable conditions.
Changes to Deutsche Telekom's expectations concerning future cash flows may lead to
impairment write downs of assets carried at historical cost, which may materially affect the
results at the Group and operating segment levels. If these or other risks and uncertainties

Mobile service revenue Fixed line service revenue1 Total service revenue1

Q1/17 -0.8% -0.6% -0.7%

Q2/17 0.8% -1.2% -0.6%

Q3/17 0.9% 0.3%2 0.5%2

Q4/17 1.7% 0.5% 0.9%

Q1/18 3.2% 0.2% 1.2%

1) Total service revenue is a sum of fixed line and mobile service revenue. We define fixed line service revenue as fixed network core business revenue less fixed hardware revenue plus wholesale services fixed network revenue. From Q2/16 onwards we classify
CPEs recurring rent revenue as fixed service revenue, and thus also part of total service revenue. Without this reclassification fixed line service revenue growth rate would be -0.2% in Q1/18, whereas TSR growth rate would be +1.0% in Q1/18.
Old growth rates have not been restated 2) Revenue in Q2/16 impacted by a negative special factor related to a settlement agreement. Adjusted growth rate at -1.5% for fixed service revenue, resp. -0.8% for total service revenue

Sine January 1, 2018, Vivento Customer Services GmbH (a provider of call center services) is reported in the operating segment Germany. Before that the company was assigned to the segment Group Headquarters & Group
Services. Comparative figures have been adjusted retrospectively.

With the beginning of January 1, 2018, Deutsche Telekom Group applies IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Application of the standard is mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. This
standard provides a single, principles-based five-step model for the determination and recognition of revenue to be applied to all contracts with customers. It replaces in particular IAS 18 “Revenue” and IAS 11 “Construction
Contracts” and has a material effect on the presentation of Deutsche Telekom’s results of operations and financial position. Deutsche Telekom utilizes the option for simplified initial application, i.e., contracts that are not completed
by January 1, 2018 have been accounted for as if they had been recognized in accordance with IFRS 15 from the very beginning. The cumulative effect arising from the transition has been recognized as an adjustment to the
opening balance of equity in the year of initial application. Prior-year comparatives have not been adjusted; instead, Deutsche Telekom has provided an explanation of the reasons for the changes in items in the statement of financial
position and the income statement for the current period as a result of applying IFRS 15 for the first time.

Since January 1, 2018, Deutsche Telekom Group applies IFRS 9 „Financial Instruments.“ Application of the standard is mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The standard introduces new
classification and ­measurement requirements for financial instruments and replaces IAS 39. Deutsche Telekom utilizes the option for simplified initial application. The cumulative effect arising from the transition has been
recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity in the year of initial application. Prior-year comparatives have not been adjusted; instead, Deutsche Telekom has provided an explanation of the reasons for the changes
in items in the statement of financial position and the income statement for the current period as a result of applying IFRS 9 for the first time.
The figures shown in this report were rounded in accordance with standard business rounding principles. As a result, the total indicated may not be equal to the precise sum of the individual figures.

4 T-Mobile US believes current and future regulatory changes have made the Lifeline program offered by T-Mobile US' wholesale partners uneconomical. T-Mobile US will continue to
support its wholesale partners offering the Lifeline program, but has excluded the Lifeline customers from the reported wholesale subscriber base resulting in a removal of 160 thousand and

Note: T-Mobile's historical metrics have changed to conform with the current branded customer presentation. Branded customer metrics revenues exclude machine-to-machine, MVNO, third party roaming and
third party one-time fees. Certain historical customer numbers may not tie to historical reports due to rounding.
1 Includes revenues from providing recurring wireless, customer roaming and handset insurance services.
2 Excluding special factors affecting EBITDA of USD 5mn in Q1/17, USD (5mn) in Q2/17, USD 1,945mn (mainly related to reversal of impairment) in Q3/17, USD (16mn) in Q4/17 and USD 34 mn in Q1/18
3 Adjusted by excluding spectrum purchases of USD 36mn in Q1/17, USD 8.004mn in Q2/17, USD 22mn in Q3/17, USD 11mn in Q4/17 and USD 73 mn in Q1/18
4 T-Mobile US believes current and future regulatory changes have made the Lifeline program offered by T-Mobile US' wholesale partners uneconomical. T-Mobile US will continue to
support its wholesale partners offering the Lifeline program, but has excluded the Lifeline customers from the reported wholesale subscriber base resulting in a removal of 160 thousand and
4,368 thousand reported wholesale customers as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2017, respectively. No further Lifeline adjustments are expected in future periods.
