The term "Report" refers to this Report on Form 6-K for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004.
Deutsche Telekom AG is a private stock corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. As used in this Report, unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Deutsche Telekom" refers to Deutsche Telekom AG and the terms "we," "us", "our" and "Group" refer to Deutsche Telekom and, as applicable, Deutsche Telekom and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as a group. Our registered office is at Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 140, 53113 Bonn, Germany, telephone number +49-228-181-0.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report contains forward-looking statements that reflect the current views of our management with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "aims," "plans," "will," "will continue," "seeks" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place too much reliance on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, although we intend to continue to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations under the U.S. securities laws (such as our obligations to file annual reports on Form 20-F and periodic and other reports on Form 6-K) and under other applicable laws. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other factors: the development of demand for our telecommunications services, particularly for new, higher value service offerings; competitive forces, including pricing pressures, technological changes and alternative routing developments; regulatory actions and the outcome of disputes in which the company is involved or may become involved; the pace and cost of the rollout of new services, such as UMTS, which may be affected by the ability of suppliers to deliver equipment and other circumstances beyond our control; public concerns over health risks putatively associated with wireless frequency transmissions; risks associated with integrating our acquisitions; the development of asset values in Germany and elsewhere, the progress of our debt reduction program, including its degree of success in achieving desired levels of liquidity improvement and proceeds from disposals; the development of our cost control initiatives, including in the area of personnel reduction; risks and uncertainties relating to benefits anticipated from our international expansion, particularly in the United States; the progress of our domestic and international investments, joint ventures and alliances; our ability to gain or retain market share in the face of competition; our ability to secure and retain the licenses needed to offer our services; the effects of price reduction measures and our customer acquisition and retention initiatives; the availability, term and deployment of capital, particularly in view of our debt refinancing needs, actions of the rating agencies and the impact of regulatory and competitive developments on our capital outlays; and changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. If these or other risks and uncertainties (including those described in "Forward-Looking Statements," "Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors" and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Factors Affecting Our Business" contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) materialize, or if the assumptions underlying any of these statements prove incorrect, our actual results may be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements.
EXCHANGE RATES
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in this document are expressed in euros. As used in this document, "euro" or "EUR" means the single unified currency that was introduced in the Federal Republic of Germany (referred to as the "Federal Republic") and ten other participating member
2
states of the European Union on January 1, 1999. "U.S. dollar" or "USD" means the lawful currency of the United States of America. As used in this document, the term "noon buying rate" refers to the rate of exchange for euro as announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes as the rate in The City of New York for cable transfers in foreign currencies. Unless otherwise stated, conversions of U.S. dollars into euro have been made at the rate of USD 1.00 to EUR 0.8199, which was the noon buying rate on June 30, 2004.

Note (1) Summary of presentation principles
Our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2003, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch — HGB) and the German Stock Corporation Law (Aktiengesetz — AktG).
These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In management's opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, balance sheet and cash flows for each period presented. The consolidated results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial results should be read in conjunction with our Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003.
German GAAP differs in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Application of U.S. GAAP would have affected the balance sheets as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. A qualitative and quantitative discussion of the significant differences between German GAAP and U.S. GAAP appears in Note (14) herein, and in more detail in Notes (41) through (44) to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Note (2) Changes within the consolidated group
We sold shareholdings in various companies last year which were included (some ratably) in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2003. These were, at T-Com, the remaining cable businesses, at T-Mobile, Niedermeyer in Austria, at T-Systems, TeleCash GmbH, SIRIS S.A.S., Multilink SA. and other less significant shareholdings, and, at T-Online, Auto.t-online. The T-Online division acquired the Scout24 group in the first half of 2004. The following table shows the effects of the new acquisitions and disposals on the individual line items of the consolidated statement of income for the first six months of 2004.

Note (6) Income taxes
Our domestic combined income tax rate for the first six months of 2004 was 39%, consisting of a corporate income tax of 25%, a trade earnings tax and a solidarity surcharge levied at 5.5% on corporate income tax.
The German Tax Incentive Reduction Act (Steuervergünstigungsabbaugesetz) introduced a limitation on the use of loss carryforwards (minimum taxation) for corporate income tax and trade tax with effect from 2004. As a result, we incurred corporate income tax and trade tax expense, despite the existence of net operating loss carryforwards. There was an additional tax expense as a result of the recognition of deferred tax liabilities (EUR 0.4 billion) from the required write-up of U.S. mobile communications licenses. The income tax benefit reported for the first half of 2003 mainly relates to corporate income tax benefits (EUR 0.4 billion) in connection with the corporate reorganization of T-Mobile International AG & Co. KG.

Personnel costs | (3,433 | ) | (3,510 | ) | (6,793 | ) | (6,902 | ) | ||||||||||
In the first half of 2004, personnel costs fell by EUR 0.1 billion, or 1.6 %, as compared to the first half of 2003, due primarily to a decline in the number of employees. Staff reductions, at T-Com and T-Systems in particular, were offset by staff increases at T-Mobile USA and T-Online (acquisition of the Scout24 group). Currency translation effects and the absence in 2004 of an adjusted discount rate applied to pension accruals, (additional minimum liability (AML)), which amounted to EUR 0.2 billion in the first half of 2003, also contributed to the decrease in personnel costs. Salary increases agreed to as part of our collective bargaining with certain unions and expenses for severance packages offset, in part, the decrease in personnel costs.

Note (12) Guarantees and commitments, and other financial obligations
Guarantees and commitments, and other financial obligations decreased by EUR 0.3 billion compared with the end of 2003. This development was the result of offsetting effects: the decrease in guarantee commtitments was almost offset by an increase in purchasing and leasing obligations in particular. The Toll Collect venture refinanced its syndicated project development loans from several banks. We have guaranteed three individual bank loans related to Toll Collect that aggregate a maximum of EUR 0.6 billion.
Note (13) Segment information in accordance with SFAS 131
Effective as of April 1, 2004, responsibility for the investment in Toll Collect was transferred from T-Com to T-Systems. For segment reporting purposes, the net carrying amounts relating to the Toll Collect investment as well as their effects on the statement of income are no longer shown under T-Com, but under T-Systems. To facilitate comparison, prior-year figures and the figures for the first quarter of 2004 have been adjusted to reflect the changes described above.
All segment information in this report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131) and German Accounting Standard 3, "Segment Reporting" (GAS 3).
The following tables give an overall summary (including a reconciliation line) of our segments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and for the quarter ended June 30 and the first six months of both 2003 and 2004.
