The Revenue LinesWide moat

T-Mobile US (TMUS) — moat facet

T-Mobile's revenue has concentrated in postpaid, from 48% of the total in 2018 to 66% in 2025, while prepaid stalled and wholesale halved.

T-Mobile reports one segment, Wireless1, and the only split of its revenue is the customer-type lines on the income statement. They are the bands of this company's chart: Postpaid, Prepaid, Wholesale & Other Service, Equipment and Other. In 2025 they were $57,932 million, $10,497 million, $2,877 million, $15,972 million and $1,031 million, together the reported $88,309 million2.

Two-thirds postpaid.

The lines have changed names. Before 2020 they were "Branded postpaid", "Branded prepaid", wholesale and roaming3; the FY2020 10-K renamed them and restated 2018 and 2019, moving roaming revenue out of Other revenues, so 2019 Other revenues became $658 million4 rather than the $1,164 million first reported5. The FY2022 10-K combined wholesale and roaming as "Wholesale and other service revenues"6. The FY2017 10-K had restated 2015 and 2016 "As Adjusted"7. The chart uses the recast basis from 2018 to 2025, on which every year adds to reported revenue.

The small Other band, $1,031 million in 20258, is about 1.2% of revenue9. T-Mobile does not describe its contents in the lines it reports, and it has moved between $658 million and $1,179 million on this basis1011; it gets no page of its own.

The four main lines tell four stories. Postpaid grew from 48.2% of revenue in 2018 to 65.6% in 202512. Prepaid has been flat for years and is now falling. Wholesale has halved since 2022. Equipment is sold below cost to keep the service lines.

The lines are the only window T-Mobile gives into how the business is made up, because it runs one segment whose chief operating decision maker "does not review assets"13 in judging it. The quarters show how much equipment moves the total: revenues were $20,886 million, $21,132 million, $21,957 million and $24,334 million through 202514, and the fourth quarter's jump was handsets, since service revenues rose only from $18,241 million to $18,702 million15.

That leaves T-Mobile more dependent on postpaid every year. If postpaid's share of revenue fell back in a year when equipment and wholesale did not grow, the household account itself would be weakening.

How concentrated T-Mobile is in its best line; a falling share without growth elsewhere would mean the account is weakening.

Postpaid
Postpaid revenue grew from $20.9 billion in 2018 to $57.9 billion in 2025 and is now 81% of T-Mobile's service revenue.
DIG DEEPER 02
Prepaid
Prepaid revenue has been near $10 billion for seven years, with ARPU down 10% in two years; it fell 6.4% in Q2 2026.
DIG DEEPER 03
Wholesale & Other Service
T-Mobile's wholesale and other service revenue fell 48% from 2022 to 2025 as EchoStar and TracFone used less and Mint was bought.
DIG DEEPER 04
Equipment
T-Mobile sold $16.0 billion of equipment in 2025 for $21.3 billion of cost; the $5.3 billion loss is what it pays to keep service customers.
