About Telephone and Data Systems
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Telephone and Data Systems is based in Chicago, Illinois and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker TDS. The SEC classifies its business as telephone communications (no radiotelephone). In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $1.23bn and a net loss of $6.2m. At that date it held total assets of $8.40bn and shareholders' equity of $4.80bn. By business, Service brought in 85.0% of revenue, followed by Site Rental at 12.6% and Equipment and product sales at 2.4%.
Under listing standards of the NYSE, TDS is a “controlled company” as such term is defined by the NYSE. TDS is a controlled company because over 50% of the voting power for the election of a majority of the directors of TDS is held by the trustees of the TDS Voting Trust.
On August 1, 2025, United States Cellular Corporation changed its name to Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc.. Array is used throughout this report even when referring to historical periods.
TDS has two reportable segments: TDS Telecom and Array. TDS operations also include the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary Suttle-Straus, Inc. (Suttle-Straus). Suttle-Straus’ financial results were not significant to TDS’ operations. All of TDS' segments operate entirely in the United States. See Note 20 — Business Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about TDS' segments.
TDS Telecom provides communications services to 1.1 million connections in 30 states through its high-quality fiber, coaxial and copper networks. TDS Telecom operates in one reportable segment, and its operating markets are located in a mix of small to mid-sized urban, suburban and rural communities throughout the United States.
