The complaint alleges that during the Class Period defendants issued a series of false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business. Defendants’ statements allegedly misrepresented and failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (a) the Company was losing customers at a higher rate than previously experienced and was failing to add new customers due to increased competition; (b) the Company’s average revenue per user was lower than expected due to an increase in promotional activity; (c) the Company’s increase in subscribers in the first quarter was due to a promotion whereby customers received the first month free and could cancel without penalty; (d) the reported new subscriber numbers were artificially inflated by the inclusion of upgraded subscribers as new additions; (e) the costs of acquiring new customers was increasing due to an intensification of the Company’s marketing campaigns in the Northeast market along with its promotional activities; and (f) as a result of the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company and its prospects.

On November 5, 2009, before the market opened, MetroPCS issued a press release announcing its third quarter 2009 financial results, reporting that the Company’s net additions were below expectations due to elevated churn and a deceleration in gross additions, and lowering its guidance for the year.  In response, the price of MetroPCS stock fell almost 10%.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of MetroPCS investors.  The plaintiff is represented by Dyer & Berens LLP, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions involving financial fraud.  For more information about the firm, please go to www.DyerBerens.com.
