Deutsche Telekom Q1: 510,000 Contract Customers Left T-Mobile USA; DT Sales Down 1.1% To $18.6B

t-mobileT-Mobile USA's parent Deutsche Telekom today reported earnings for the quarter that ended March 31, with revenues and earnings in slight decline compared to a year ago: sales for the carrier came in at ?14.4 billion, a decline of 1.1 percent; and earnings of ?4.48 billion ($5.8 billion) were down by 0.1 percent. Both figures, however, still managed to beat forecasts from analysts polled by Bloomberg. With the future of T-Mobile USA still in play -- there are reports that the carrier may be merged with MetroPCS, in the wake of T-Mobile's merger with AT&T getting scuppered by regulators -- Deutsche Telekom noted in a separate release that the carrier performed well with earnings up by eight percent to $1.3 billion (?1 billion) even as revenues were down by 2.3 percent to $5 billion. And customer retention issues still persist at the carrier -- the last major mobile operator in the U.S. not offering the popular iPhone: it lost over half a million (510,000) contract subscribers in the quarter.
