2025 Stockholder Return Program

On December 13, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized our 2025 Stockholder Return Program of up to $14.0 billion that will run through December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Stockholder Return Program”). The 2025 Stockholder Return Program consists of repurchases of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash dividends. The amount available under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any cash dividends declared and paid by us.

On November 21, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which was paid on March 13, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2025.

On June 5, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.88 per share on our issued and outstanding common stock, which will be paid on September 11, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we paid an aggregate of $996 million and $2.0 billion, respectively, in cash dividends to our stockholders, which were presented within Net cash used in financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, $518 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, were paid to Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”). As of June 30, 2025, $986 million for dividends payable is presented within Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $518 million is payable to DT.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 10,148,791 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $243.32 for a total purchase price of $2.5 billion, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 20,240,018 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $244.04 for a total purchase price of $4.9 billion, under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program. All shares repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were purchased at market price. As of June 30, 2025, we had up to $7.1 billion remaining under the 2025 Stockholder Return Program for repurchases of shares and quarterly dividends through December 31, 2025.

Subsequent to June 30, 2025, from July 1, 2025, through July 18, 2025, we repurchased 2,032,767 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $232.16 for a total purchase price of $472 million.
