Consolidated Financial Results

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter totaled $38.1 billion versus $43.9 billion in the year-ago quarter, down 13.3% reflecting the impact of divested businesses, mainly U.S. Video in the third quarter of 2021 and Vrio in the fourth quarter of 2021, as well as lower Business Wireline revenues. These decreases were partially offset by higher Mobility revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher WarnerMedia, Consumer Wireline and Mexico revenues. Excluding impacts of the U.S. Video business and Vrio from the prior-year quarter, revenues were $38.1 billion, up 1.6% compared to $37.5 billion8 in the year-ago quarter reflecting revenue growth for standalone AT&T9 and WarnerMedia. When further excluding the impacts of WarnerMedia and Xandr from both quarters, standalone AT&T consolidated revenues totaled $29.7 billion10 compared to $29.0 billion in the year-ago quarter, up 2.5%.

Operating expenses were $32.5 billion versus $36.3 billion in the year-ago quarter. Expenses declined due to the separation of U.S. Video operations, and impacts of Vrio and other divested businesses. These declines were partially offset by higher costs for standalone AT&T, including wireless equipment costs, 3G network shutdown costs, and higher WarnerMedia programming, marketing and selling costs.

Operating income was $5.6 billion versus $7.7 billion in the year-ago quarter reflecting the divestitures. When adjusting for merger amortization costs and other items, adjusted operating income was $7.1 billion11 versus $8.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Excluding impacts of U.S. Video and Vrio from the prior-year quarter, adjusted operating income totaled $7.1 billion compared to $7.5 billion12 in the year-ago quarter. When further excluding the impacts of WarnerMedia and Xandr for both quarters, standalone AT&T adjusted operating income totaled $5.8 billion13 compared to $5.8 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates of $0.5 billion includes $0.5 billion from the DIRECTV investment. With adjustment for the proportionate share of intangible amortization, adjusted equity in net income from the DIRECTV investment was $0.9 billion.14

First-quarter net income attributable to common stock was $4.8 billion, or $0.65 per diluted common share, versus $7.5 billion, or $1.02 per diluted common share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusting for $0.12, which includes merger-amortization costs (a proportionate share of intangible amortization at the DIRECTV equity method investment), an actuarial gain on benefit plans and other items, earnings per diluted common share was $0.77. This compares to an adjusted earnings per diluted common share of $0.85 in the year-ago quarter.

Cash from operating activities was $5.7 billion, down $4.2 billion year over year, including content spend of $5.1 billion. Capital expenditures were $4.7 billion in the quarter. Capital investment totaled $6.3 billion, which includes $1.6 billion of cash payments for vendor financing. Free cash flow, including $1.3 billion of distributions from DIRECTV classified as investing activities, was $0.7 billion for the quarter compared to $4.2 billion a year ago. Net debt increased by $12.8 billion sequentially, and net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA at the end of the first quarter was 3.42x.15

When excluding the impacts of WarnerMedia, Vrio and Xandr for both quarters, standalone AT&T cash from operating activities was $7.7 billion16, down $1.7 billion year over year. Standalone AT&T free cash flow was $2.9 billion16 for the quarter compared to $3.8 billion a year ago.

Communications Operational Highlights

First-quarter revenues were $28.9 billion, up 2.5% year over year due to increases in Mobility and Consumer Wireline more than offsetting a decline in Business Wireline. Operating contribution was $7.0 billion, down 5.4% year over year, with operating income margin of 24.3%, compared to 26.4% in the year-ago quarter.

Mobility

•Revenues were up 5.5% year over year to $20.1 billion due to higher service and equipment revenues. Service revenues were $14.7 billion, up 4.8% year over year, driven by subscriber growth. Equipment revenues were $5.4 billion, up 7.3% year over year, driven by increased sales of higher priced smartphones.

•Operating expenses were $14.2 billion, up 9.5% year over year due to higher equipment costs, 3G network shutdown costs, higher bad debt, higher HBO Max bundling costs, higher amortization of customer acquisition costs, elimination of CAFII government credits and higher FirstNet costs.

•Operating income was $5.9 billion, down 3.2% year over year. Operating income margin was 29.2%, compared to 31.8% in the year-ago quarter.

•EBITDA was $7.9 billion, down 1.8% year over year with EBITDA margin of 39.4%, down from 42.3% a year ago. EBITDA service margin was 53.7%, compared to 57.4% in the year-ago quarter.

◦691,000 postpaid phone net adds

◦62,000 postpaid tablet and other branded computing device net adds

◦212,000 other net adds

◦113,000 prepaid phone net adds

•Postpaid churn was 0.94% versus 0.93% in the year-ago quarter.

•Postpaid phone churn was 0.79% versus 0.76% in the year-ago quarter.

•Prepaid churn was less than 3%, with Cricket substantially lower.

•Postpaid phone-only ARPU was $54.00, down 0.2% versus the year-ago quarter, due to the impacts of promotional discount amortization.

Business Wireline

•Revenues were $5.6 billion, down 6.7% year over year due to lower demand for legacy voice and data services and a strategic decision to deemphasize non-core services.

•Operating expenses were $4.8 billion, down 3.7% year over year due to ongoing operational cost efficiencies and lower amortization of deferred fulfillment costs, partially offset by higher depreciation costs.

•Operating income was $0.9 billion, down 20.5% with operating income margin of 15.2%, compared to 17.9% in the year-ago quarter.

•EBITDA was $2.2 billion, down 8.5% year over year with EBITDA margin of 38.3%, compared to 39.0% in the year-ago quarter.

•AT&T Business serves nearly 2.5 million customers, from the largest global companies and government agencies to small businesses. More than 675,000 U.S. business buildings are lit with fiber from AT&T, enabling high-speed fiber connections to approximately 3 million U.S. business customer locations. Nationwide, more than 9.5 million business customer locations are on or within 1,000 feet of our fiber.17

Consumer Wireline

•Revenues were $3.2 billion, up 2.0% year over year due to gains in broadband more than offsetting declines in legacy voice and data services and other services. Broadband revenues increased 6.8% due to fiber growth of 24.7%, partially offset by non-fiber revenue declines of 5.3%.

•Operating expenses were $2.8 billion, up 1.9% year over year largely driven by higher advertising costs and the elimination of CAFII government credits, partially offset by lower amortization of deferred fulfillment costs.

•Operating income was $317 million, up 3.3% year over year with operating income margin of 10.0%, compared to 9.9% in the year-ago quarter.

•EBITDA was $1.1 billion, up 1.3% year over year with EBITDA margin of 34.3%, compared to 34.5% in the year-ago quarter.

attglobea.jpg

•Total broadband gains, excluding DSL, were 5,000, reflecting AT&T Fiber net adds of 289,000, mostly offset by losses in non-fiber services. AT&T Fiber now has the ability to serve 17 million customer locations.

WarnerMedia Operational Highlights

•Revenues for the first quarter were $8.7 billion, up 2.5% versus the year-ago quarter, driven by higher subscription revenues and higher content and other revenues, partially offset by lower advertising revenues. Subscription revenues were $4.0 billion, up 4.4%, primarily reflecting growth of HBO Max. Content and Other revenues were $3.1 billion, up 3.4%, driven by higher theatrical revenues, higher HBO Max licensing, and partially offset by lower TV licensing. Advertising revenues were $1.7 billion, down 3.0% year over year due to lower linear audiences and tough comparisons to the prior-year political environment, partially offset by higher sports.

•Operating expenses totaled $7.4 billion, up 13.0% year over year driven by higher marketing costs as well as higher programming costs and incremental selling costs associated with DIRECTV advertising revenue sharing arrangements.

•Operating contribution was $1.3 billion, down 35.7% year over year.

•Operating income was $1.3 billion, down 32.7% year over year, as a result of continued investments in HBO Max as well as in the launch of CNN+ at the end of the quarter and incremental advertising revenue sharing costs. Operating income margin was 15.1%, compared to 23.0% in the year-ago quarter.

•At the end of the quarter, there were 76.8 million global HBO Max and HBO subscribers. Global HBO Max and HBO subscribers increased 12.8 million year over year and were up 3.0 million sequentially, primarily driven by international as well as domestic retail subscriber gains reflecting strength of the programming slate. At the end of the quarter, there were 48.6 million domestic HBO Max and HBO subscribers versus 44.2 million in the year-ago quarter, up 4.4 million year over year. Domestic subscriber ARPU18 was $11.24.

Latin America Operational Highlights

Revenues were $690 million, down 49.8% year over year due to the sale of Vrio in the fourth quarter of 2021. Mexico revenues were up 9.4% year over year primarily due to increased growth in service revenues. Service revenues were $490 million, up 11.6% year over year, driven by growth in other services and subscribers. Equipment revenues were $200 million, up 4.2% year over year due to higher sales.

Operating contribution was ($102) million compared to ($173) million in the year-ago quarter. For Mexico, operating loss was ($102) million versus ($134) million in the year-ago quarter. Mexico EBITDA was $59 million compared to $11 million in the year-ago quarter.

12 Adjusted Operating Income, excluding impacts of the U.S. Video business and Vrio, of $7.5 billion for 1Q21 is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income of $8.9 billion minus $1.3 billion of adjustments to reflect the impacts of the 2021 Video separation and Vrio sale. Further detail of these adjustments and information is included in our Form 8-K dated April 21, 2022.

13 Adjusted Operating Income of standalone AT&T of $5.8 billion for 1Q22 is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income of $7.1 billion minus WarnerMedia segment operating income of $1.3 billion.

Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We believe the following measures are relevant and useful information to investors as they are part of AT&T's internal management reporting and planning processes and are important metrics that management uses to evaluate the operating performance of AT&T and its segments. Management also uses these measures as a method of comparing performance with that of many of our competitors. These measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations and cash distributions from DIRECTV classified as investing activities minus capital expenditures and cash paid for vendor financing (classified as financing activities). Free cash flow after dividends is defined as cash from operations and cash distributions from DIRECTV, minus capital expenditures, cash paid for vendor financing and dividends on common and preferred shares. Free cash flow dividend payout ratio is defined as the percentage of dividends paid on common and preferred shares to free cash flow. We believe these metrics provide useful information to our investors because management views free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated by routine business operations, including capital expenditures and vendor financing, and from our continued economic interest in the U.S. video operations as part of our DIRECTV equity method investment, and makes decisions based on it. Management also views free cash flow as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to shareowners.

Cash Paid for Capital Investment

In connection with capital improvements, we negotiate with some of our vendors to obtain favorable payment terms of 120 days or more, referred to as vendor financing, which are excluded from capital expenditures and reported in accordance with GAAP as financing activities. We present an additional view of cash paid for capital investment to provide investors with a comprehensive view of cash used to invest in our networks, product developments and support systems.

EBITDA

Our calculation of EBITDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For AT&T, EBITDA excludes other income (expense) – net, and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, as these do not reflect the operating results of our subscriber base or operations that are not under our control. Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates represents the proportionate share of the net income (loss) of affiliates in which we exercise significant influence, but do not control. Because we do not control these entities, management excludes these results when evaluating the performance of our primary operations. EBITDA also excludes interest expense and the provision for income taxes. Excluding these items eliminates the expenses associated with our capital and tax structures. Finally, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments. EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA service margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by service revenues.

When discussing our segment, business unit and supplemental results, EBITDA excludes equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, and depreciation and amortization from operating contribution.

These measures are used by management as a gauge of our success in acquiring, retaining and servicing subscribers because we believe these measures reflect AT&T's ability to generate and grow subscriber revenues while providing a high level of customer service in a cost-effective manner. Management also uses these measures as a method of comparing operating performance with that of many of its competitors. The financial and operating metrics which affect EBITDA include the key revenue and expense drivers for which management is responsible and upon which we evaluate performance.

We believe EBITDA Service Margin (EBITDA as a percentage of service revenues) to be a more relevant measure than EBITDA Margin (EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) for our Mobility business unit operating margin. We also use wireless service revenues to calculate margin to facilitate comparison, both internally and externally with our wireless competitors, as they calculate their margins using wireless service revenues as well.

There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, EBITDA margin and EBITDA service margin, as we have defined them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, these performance measures do not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense, tax expense and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates. For market comparability, management analyzes performance measures that are similar in nature to EBITDA as we present it, and considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with its analysis of net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDA margin and EBITDA service margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusting Items

Adjusting items include revenues and costs we consider non-operational in nature, including items arising from asset acquisitions or dispositions. We also adjust for net actuarial gains or losses associated with our pension and postemployment benefit plans due to the often-significant impact on our results (we immediately recognize this gain or loss in the income statement, pursuant to our accounting policy for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses). Consequently, our adjusted results reflect an expected return on plan assets rather than the actual return on plan assets, as included in the GAAP measure of income. Prior periods have been recast for consistency to include gains on benefit-related and other cost investments.

The tax impact of adjusting items is calculated using the effective tax rate during the quarter except for adjustments that, given their magnitude, can drive a change in the effective tax rate, in these cases we use the actual tax expense or combined marginal rate of approximately 25%.

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA service margin and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by excluding from operating revenues, operating expenses and income tax expense, certain significant items that are non-operational or non-recurring in nature, including dispositions and merger integration and transaction costs, actuarial gains and losses, significant abandonments and impairment, severance and other material gains and losses. Management believes that these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends.

Adjusted Operating Revenues, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA service margin and Adjusted diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

1Includes adjustments for actuarial gains or losses associated with our pension benefit plan, which we immediately recognize in the income statement, pursuant to our accounting policy for the recognition of actuarial gains/losses. We recorded total net actuarial gain of $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2022. As a result, adjusted EPS reflects an expected return on plan assets of $0.9 billion (based on an average expected return on plan assets of 6.75% for our pension trust), rather than the actual return on plan assets of $(3.6) billion (actual pension return of -5.2%), included in the GAAP measure of income.
2As of January 1, 2022, we adopted, through retrospective application, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, which requires that instruments which may be settled in cash or stock to be presumed settled in stock in calculating diluted EPS. While our intent is to settle the Mobility II preferred interests in cash, the ability to settle this instrument in AT&T shares will result in additional dilutive impact, the magnitude of which is influenced by the fair value of the Mobility II preferred interests and the average AT&T common stock price during the reporting period, which could vary from period-to-period. For these reasons, we have excluded the impact of ASU 2020-06 from our adjusted EPS calculation. The per share impact of ASU 2020-06 was to decrease reported diluted EPS $0.02 and $0.01 for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Net Debt to EBITDA ratios are non-GAAP financial measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies and management believes these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data. Our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing the Net Debt by the sum of the most recent four quarters Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and time deposits that are greater than 90 days, from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt.

NOTES

[A] WarnerMedia segment results as reported in AT&T's consolidated financial statements, including Otter, Xandr and Playdemic.
[B] Vrio business unit results within the Latin America segment as reported in AT&T's consolidated statements. AT&T retained the investment in Sky Mexico.
[C] Adjustments for impacts from receivable securitizations related to WarnerMedia and the recharacterization of programming intangible assets amortization for released programming acquired in the Time Warner acquisition, which we continued to report with the WarnerMedia segment operating expenses.
[D] Adjustments for AT&T's retention of the addressable TV advertising business, Invidi, and historically allocated general corporate overhead costs that do not meet the requirements for presentation in discontinued operations.
[E] Video business results as reported in AT&T's consolidated financial results; quarters ended 2021 include retained depreciation on assets supporting U-verse products.
[F] Other dispositions include the held-for-sale businesses, Crunchyroll, Government Solutions and operations in Puerto Rico that do not meet the requirements for presentation in discontinued operations.
[G] After the DIRECTV transaction, we expect to retain incurred operations and support costs in the range of ~$500M per quarter and depreciation of network infrastructure that provides both U-verse video and broadband services to customers of ~$150M per quarter, of which approximately 60% will be received from DIRECTV through transition service agreements and commercial arrangements. These estimated net retained costs have been applied to prior periods for comparability.
[H] Estimated equity in net income of affiliates from DIRECTV. Calculated at 70% of Video EBITDA, which excludes the noncash depreciation and amortization of fair value accretion expected to result from DIRECTV’s revaluation of assets and purchase price allocation.
[I] Reflects the use of proceeds to pay down approximately $39.0 billion of borrowings and the resulting reduction to interest expense. The estimated impact of interest expense reduction was determined using the weighted-average interest rate of AT&T’s long-term debt portfolio, including credit agreement borrowings and the impact of derivatives, of 3.8%. As of the date of the filing to which these unaudited pro forma financial statements are attached, the Company has committed to approximately $10.1 billion of term loan repayments with a weighted-average rate of 1.1% and make-whole or other redemptions totaling $9.3 billion with a weighted-average rate of 3.5%. This adjustment is required for forma financial information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
[J] Estimated tax impact of pro forma and other adjustments at AT&T's adjusted effective tax rate of 20.0% for the year ended December 31, 2021, and 19.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020.
[K] Under GAAP, AT&T removed transactions involving dealing between segments, including channel distribution of WarnerMedia content, and advertising arrangements.
