Telephone and Data Systems Balance Sheet 2025-2007 | TDS

Brief overview of Telephone and Data Systems's balance sheet strength

This overview follows the five latest available annual observations between 2015 and 2019.

The balance sheet expanded from $9.4 billion to $10.8 billion. Growth of +14.4% and CAGR of 3.4% look measured and sustainable.

Asset growth of +14.4% was close to the +14% change in liabilities, leaving the funding profile broadly stable.

Shareholders' equity accounts for 43.2% of assets, previously 43.8%. Dependence on liabilities is moderate.

Net debt to equity stands at 0.4x; the current burden does not look excessive.

Cash represents 4.3% of assets versus 10.5% initially, showing how the immediate liquidity reserve changed.

Retained earnings stand at $2.7 billion; the five-period change was +7.4%. This reflects accumulated business performance.

Overall picture

Telephone and Data Systems's balance sheet is broadly resilient, though selected areas require monitoring. The balance between assets, equity and liabilities remains the key issue.

Balance Sheet is a fundamental financial report of Telephone and Data Systems, providing a complete picture of the company’s financial position at a specific point in time. Unlike the income statement, which records the results of operations over a certain period, the balance sheet shows what assets the company owns, what liabilities it has to creditors, and what equity is available to the owners.

For an investor, the balance sheet is important because it allows assessing the company’s financial stability, understanding how much debt it carries, and how dependent it is on borrowed financing. It helps calculate key liquidity and leverage ratios. When analyzing, attention should be paid to the debt-to-equity ratio (Debt/Equity), the amount of cash on the balance sheet, and the ratio of current liabilities to liquid assets.

Features of balance sheet analysis
  • Vertical and horizontal analysis
    Vertical analysis shows the structure of the balance sheet as a percentage of total assets or liabilities, while horizontal analysis shows the dynamics of changes over multiple periods.
  • Asset quality
    It is important to evaluate not only the amount of assets but also their liquidity and realizability.
  • Accounting for off-balance sheet liabilities
    Some liabilities may not be directly reflected in the balance sheet, which requires additional attention.
