T-Mobile has just posted its Q4 2012 operating results, with $ 4.9 billion in revenue, net customer additions of 61,000 and contract customer churn of 2.5-percent. Overall, it seems to have been a positive quarter for the carrier. Here are a few of the highlights:
The results were again a bit of a mixed bag for T-Mobile as the nation's 4th place carrier pushes with its strategy to stop contract subsidies and launch an LTE network. Branded contract ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) fell 4.7-percent y-o-y to $ 55.47, mostly due to high adoption of Value Plans which have lower service revenues. T-Mobile claims a full 30-percent of its customers are now on subsidy-free Value Plans, up 1.6 million in the quarter.

Google today released their financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012 with consolidated revenues hitting US$ 14.42 billion with the revenue of Motorola Home not yet included. This result beat the expectations of analysts who had reservations on the company’s performance.
According to Larry Page, CEO of Google, “We ended 2012 with a strong quarter. Revenues were up 36% year-on-year, and 8% quarter-on-quarter. And we hit $ 50 billion in revenues for the first time last year – not a bad achievement in just a decade and a half. In today’s multi-screen world we face tremendous opportunities as a technology company focused on user benefit. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be at Google.”
One of the biggest factors that contributed to the success of the company is their Search and Display advertising which contributed 95% of its total revenue for 2012. Also making gains are video and mobile advertising which will definitely become important for the company this year.
Google shares rose by as much as 4% on late day trading following the release of the earnings report. Company stocks now stand at $ 27 a share.
One thing that is declining though is the value of the company’s ads. The average cost per click of a Google Ad has decreased by as much as 6% compared to a year ago. This means that each ad is worth less than what it did a year ago. What compensated for this decline is the number of people who use Google.
The biggest contributing factor to this decline is the presence of Facebook. The introduction of the Graph Search by the giant social network is likely to even reduce the cost per click of Google even more in the coming months.
Despite this the company has still managed to breach the US$ 50 billion mark for 2012 which is already quite impressive. Moving forward the company intends to improve its mobile presence while also making sure that its video presence remain as strong as ever.
