Key components of changes in the statement of operations line items were as follows:
Intra-company revenues
Intra-company revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in the intra-company rate charged by Towers to Wireless.
Upon closing of the transaction to dispose of the wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile, UScellular expects an increase in Third-party revenues that will be recognized under the Master License Agreement that will go into effect under the Securities Purchase Agreement. However, at such time Intra-company revenues would cease, resulting in significantly lower Total tower revenues in periods following the close.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses were relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Upon closing of the transaction to dispose of the wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile, UScellular expects expenses may be incurred to effect the separation including costs to decommission certain towers and record remaining ground lease obligations on such decommissioned towers. These factors and other uncertainties in how the ongoing tower operations will be supported in the long-term may significantly impact operating expenses recorded in periods following the close.
