DALLAS, Oct. 20, 2011 - AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today reported
third-quarter results, highlighted by solid earnings and free cash
flow, continued strong mobile broadband growth and sequential
growth in wireline business revenues.
"Mobile broadband growth continues to be robust, execution was
strong across the business, and we delivered another solid
quarter," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and chief
executive officer.
"Smartphones, connected devices and tablets all posted
impressive gains. Our first LTE 4G markets are up and running with
terrific speeds. And we continue to work toward a successful
completion of our planned T-Mobile USA merger. The next waves in
the mobile Internet revolution represent tremendous growth
potential, and we are laying the groundwork required for that
future."
Third-Quarter Financial Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, AT&T's
consolidated revenues totaled $31.5 billion, down $103 million, or
0.3 percent, versus the year-earlier quarter.
Compared with results for the third quarter of 2010, AT&T's
operating income margin was 19.8 percent, compared to 17.2 percent;
operating expenses were $25.2 billion versus $26.2 billion; and
operating income was $6.2 billion, up from $5.4 billion.
Third-quarter 2011 net income attributable to AT&T totaled
$3.6 billion, or $0.61 per diluted share. These results compare
with reported net income attributable to AT&T of $12.3 billion,
or $2.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010, which
included one-time gains from a tax settlement and the sale of
Sterling Commerce. Excluding one-time gains, earnings were $0.54 in
the third quarter a year ago.
Third-quarter 2011 cash from operating activities totaled $10.4
billion, and capital expenditures totaled $5.3 billion. Free cash
flow - cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures -
totaled $5.1 billion.
Compared with results for the first nine months of 2010, year to
date through the third quarter, cash from operating activities
totaled $27.2 billion versus $25.4 billion; capital expenditures
totaled $14.7 billion compared to $13.7 billion; and free cash flow
totaled $12.4 billion versus $11.6 billion.
WIRELESS OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Led by continued strong performance in mobile broadband in the
third quarter, AT&T continued to grow revenues, add
subscribers, increase postpaid ARPU and expand margins. Highlights
included:
Subscribers Pass 100 Million Mark. AT&T posted a net gain in
total wireless subscribers of 2.1 million, to reach 100.7 million
in service. This included gains in every customer category. Net
adds for the quarter include postpaid net adds of 319,000.
Excluding the impacts of the Alltel and Centennial integration
migrations, postpaid net adds were approximately 384,000. Prepaid
net adds were 293,000, connected device net adds were 1,038,000 and
reseller net adds were 473,000. Third-quarter net adds reflect
adoption of smartphones, increases in prepaid and reseller
subscribers and sales of tablets and connected devices such as
automobile monitoring systems, security systems and a host of other
emerging products.
Strong Quarter for Branded Computing Device Sales. AT&T had
another strong quarter with branded computing subscribers, a new
growth area for the company that includes tablets, aircards, MiFi
devices, tethering plans and other data-only devices. AT&T
added 505,000 of these devices to reach 4.5 million, an almost 80
percent increase from a year ago. Most of those new subscribers
were tablets, with 290,000 added in the quarter, of which more than
35 percent were postpaid.
Total Churn Improves, Postpaid Churn Stable. Total churn
declined to 1.28 percent versus 1.32 percent in the third quarter
of 2010 and 1.43 percent in the second quarter of 2011. Postpaid
churn was 1.15 percent, compared to 1.14 percent in the year-ago
third quarter and 1.15 percent in the second quarter of 2011.
Excluding the impacts of the Alltel and Centennial migrations,
postpaid churn of 1.11 percent for the quarter was unchanged versus
the year-ago quarter.
Non-iPhone Smartphone Sales Increase. AT&T continues to
deliver robust smartphone sales. (Smartphones are voice and data
devices with an advanced operating system to better manage data and
Internet access.) In the third quarter, the company sold 4.8
million smartphones, representing nearly two-thirds of postpaid
device sales. Sales of Android devices more than doubled year over
year, and almost half of all smartphone sales were non-iPhone
devices. During the quarter, 2.7 million iPhones were
activated.
At the end of the quarter, 52.6 percent of AT&T's 68.6
million postpaid subscribers had smartphones, up from 39.1 percent
a year earlier and 31.1 percent two years ago. The average ARPU for
smartphones on AT&T's network is 1.9 times that of the
company's non-smartphone devices. More than 85 percent of
smartphone subscribers are on FamilyTalk(R) or business plans.
Churn levels for these subscribers are significantly lower than for
other postpaid subscribers. The number of subscribers on
tiered-data plans continues to increase. About 18 million, or
nearly half, of all smartphone subscribers are on tiered-data
plans.
Wireless Revenues Grow. Total wireless revenues, which include
equipment sales, were up 2.8 percent year over year to $15.6
billion. Wireless service revenues increased 4.3 percent, to $14.3
billion, in the third quarter.
Wireless Data Revenues Lead Growth. Wireless data revenues -
driven by Internet access, access to applications, messaging and
related services - increased by $857 million, or 18.0 percent, from
the year-earlier quarter to $5.6 billion. AT&T's postpaid
wireless subscribers on monthly data plans increased by 16.5
percent over the past year. Versus the year-earlier quarter, total
text messages carried on the AT&T network increased by 22
percent to 196.3 billion, and multimedia messages increased by 54
percent to 4.3 billion.
Postpaid ARPU Continues Growth. Driven by strong data growth,
postpaid subscriber ARPU increased 1.4 percent versus the
year-earlier quarter to $63.69. This marked the 11(th) consecutive
quarter AT&T has posted a year-over-year increase in postpaid
ARPU. Postpaid data ARPU reached $25.14, up 14.2 percent versus the
year-earlier quarter.
Wireless Margins Expand. Third-quarter wireless margins reflect
strong smartphone sales, solid customer upgrade levels and some
residual Alltel and Centennial merger costs. This was offset in
part by improved operating efficiencies and further revenue gains
from the company's growing base of high-quality smartphone
subscribers. Year-over-year comparisons are also influenced by the
launch of iPhone 4 at the end of the second quarter a year ago.
AT&T's third-quarter wireless operating income margin was
29.6 percent versus 23.1 percent in the year-earlier quarter, and
AT&T's wireless EBITDA service margin was 43.7 percent,
compared with 37.6 percent in the third quarter of 2010. Without
customer migration and integration costs from the Alltel and
Centennial mergers, the EBITDA service margin would have been 44.0
percent. (EBITDA service margin is earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, divided by total service revenues.)
Third-quarter wireless operating expenses totaled $11.0 billion,
down 5.9 percent versus the year-earlier quarter, and wireless
operating income was $4.6 billion, up 31.7 percent year over
year.
WIRELINE OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
AT&T's third-quarter wireline results were highlighted by
the first sequential growth in wireline revenues in more than four
years. Other highlights included:
Wireline Consumer Revenues Stable. Driven by strength in IP data
services, revenues from residential customers totaled $5.3 billion,
an increase of 0.2 percent versus the third quarter a year ago, the
fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
U-verse Attach Rate Drives ARPU Growth. AT&T U-verse TV
added 176,000 subscribers to reach 3.6 million in service. In the
third quarter, the AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet attach rate
was 90 percent and about half of new subscribers took AT&T
U-verse Voice. Three-fourths of AT&T U-verse TV subscribers
have a triple- or quad-play option from AT&T. ARPU for U-verse
triple-play customers was almost $170, up 5.7 percent year over
year.
AT&T's U-verse deployment now reaches almost 30 million
living units. Companywide penetration of eligible living units is
15.7 percent, and 24.8 percent across areas marketed to for 36
months or more. AT&T's total video subscribers, which combine
the company's U-verse and bundled satellite customers, reached 5.4
million at the end of the quarter, representing 22.6 percent of
households served.
U-verse Broadband Continues Strong Growth. AT&T U-verse High
Speed Internet delivered a third-quarter gain of 504,000
subscribers to reach a total of 4.6 million, helping offset losses
from DSL. Overall, AT&T posted a slight net gain in wireline
broadband connections. More than 70 percent of consumers have a
broadband plan of 3 Mbps or higher.
IP Data Half of Consumer Revenues. U-verse continues to drive a
transformation in wireline consumer, reflected by the fact that
consumer IP revenues now represent 50.9 percent of wireline
consumer revenues, up from 42.6 percent in the year-earlier
quarter. Increased AT&T U-verse penetration and a significant
number of subscribers on triple- or quad-play options drove 19.6
percent year-over-year growth in IP revenues from residential
customers (broadband, U-verse TV and U-verse Voice) and 2.9 percent
sequential growth. U-verse revenues grew 50.1 percent compared with
the year-ago third quarter and were up 6.0 percent versus the
second quarter of 2011.
Continued Growth in Revenues Per Household. Wireline revenues
per household served increased 5.0 percent versus the year-earlier
third quarter and were up 1.4 percent sequentially (average
revenues per household is total wireline consumer revenues divided
by the average monthly households in service), driven by AT&T
U-verse services. This marked AT&T's 15(th) consecutive quarter
with year-over-year growth in wireline consumer revenues per
household as U-verse scales and represents a larger portion of
wireline consumer revenues.
Consumer Connection Trends Continue. In the third quarter,
AT&T posted a decline in total consumer revenue connections
primarily due to expected declines in traditional voice access
lines, consistent with broader industry trends and somewhat offset
by increases in U-verse TV, broadband and VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol) connections. AT&T U-verse Voice connections increased
by 119,000 in the quarter and 648,000 over the past four quarters.
Total consumer revenue connections at the end of the third quarter
were 41.9 million, compared with 43.7 million at the end of the
third quarter of 2010 and 42.5 million at the end of the second
quarter of 2011.
Wireline Business Revenues Grow Sequentially. Total business
revenues were $9.3 billion, an increase of 0.7 percent sequentially
and down 2.7 percent versus the year-earlier quarter. The
year-over-year decline reflects economic weakness in voice and
legacy data products somewhat offset by growth in IP data.
Excluding the effect of the third-quarter 2010 sale of Japan
assets, business service revenues, which exclude CPE, declined 1.7
percent year over year, compared to a year-over-year decline of 3.4
percent in the year-ago quarter.
Robust Strategic Business Services Revenues. Revenues from the
new-generation capabilities that lead AT&T's most advanced
business solutions - including Ethernet, VPNs, hosting, IP
conferencing and application services - grew 19.3 percent versus
the year-earlier quarter, continuing strong trends in this area.
This now represents a nearly $5.8 billion annualized revenue
stream.
VPN Growth Drives Business IP Revenues. Total business IP data
revenues grew 10.2 percent versus the year-earlier third quarter,
led by growth in VPN revenues. IP-based solutions allow customers
to easily add managed services such as network security, cloud
services and IP conferencing on top of their infrastructures. Total
business data revenues grew 1.8 percent year over year.
Wireline Revenues Increase Sequentially. Third-quarter total
wireline revenues were $15.0 billion, down 2.2 percent versus the
year-earlier quarter but up slightly sequentially. Third-quarter
wireline operating expenses were $13.2 billion, down 1.3 percent
versus the third quarter of 2010 and up 1.3 percent sequentially.
Wireline operating income totaled $1.8 billion, down from $2.0
billion in the third quarter of 2010 and down versus the second
quarter of 2011. AT&T's third-quarter wireline operating income
margin was 12.1 percent, compared to 13.0 percent in the
year-earlier quarter and down from 13.1 percent in the second
quarter of 2011. Improved consumer and business IP data revenue
trends and execution of cost initiatives helped to partially offset
declines in voice revenues.

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this news release contains financial
estimates and other forward-looking statements that are subject to
risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially.
A discussion of factors that may affect future results is contained
in AT&T's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
AT&T disclaims any obligation to update or revise statements
contained in this news release based on new information or
otherwise. This news release may contain certain non-GAAP financial
measures. Reconciliations between the non-GAAP financial measures
and the GAAP financial measures are available on the company's
website at www.att.com/investor.relations. Accompanying financial
statements follow.
NOTE:EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA differs from Segment
Operating Income (loss), as calculated in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in that it
excludes depreciation and amortization. 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. Our calculation of EBITDA, as
presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
NOTE:Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus
capital expenditures. We believe this metric provides useful
information to our investors because management regularly reviews
free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is
generated by normal business operations, including capital
expenditures, and makes decisions based on it. Management also
views it as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash
to shareowners.
NOTE:Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income
Margin are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by excluding from
operating revenues and operating expenses significant items that
are non-operational or non-recurring in nature. 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 Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin
should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,
other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with
GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted Operating Income, as presented,
may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.
NOTE:2008, 2009 and 2010 have been restated for the benefit plan
accounting change. Detailed schedules can be found on AT&T's

EBITDA DISCUSSION
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA service margin is calculated
as EBITDA divided by service revenues. EBITDA differs from Segment
Operating Income (Loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in
that it excludes depreciation and amortization. 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 generally accepted accounting
principles. Our calculation of EBITDA, as presented, may differ
from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We believe these measures are relevant and useful information to
our investors as they are part of AT&T Mobility's internal
management reporting and planning processes and are important
metrics that AT&T Mobility's management uses to evaluate the
operating performance of its regional operations. These measures
are used by management as a gauge of AT&T Mobility's success in
acquiring, retaining and servicing subscribers because we believe
these measures reflect AT&T Mobility'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 AT&T Mobility's 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 AT&T Mobility's operating managers are
responsible and upon which we evaluate their performance.
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
excludes other income (expense) - net, noncontrolling interest in
earnings of consolidated entities and equity in net income (loss)
of affiliates, as these do not reflect the operating results of
AT&T Mobility's subscriber base and its national footprint that
AT&T Mobility utilizes to obtain and service its customers.
Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates represents AT&T
Mobility's proportionate share of the net income (loss) of
affiliates in which it exercises significant influence, but does
not control. As AT&T Mobility does not control these entities,
our management excludes these results when evaluating the
performance of our primary operations. EBITDA excludes interest
expense and the provision for income taxes. Excluding these items
eliminates the expenses associated with its capitalization and tax
structures. Finally, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization,
in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments.
We believe EBITDA as a percentage of service revenues to be a
more relevant measure of AT&T Mobility's operating margin than
EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. AT&T Mobility
generally subsidizes a portion of its handset sales, all of which
are recognized in the period in which AT&T Mobility sells the
handset. This results in a disproportionate impact on its margin in
that period. Management views this equipment subsidy as a cost to
acquire or retain a subscriber, which is recovered through the
ongoing service revenue that is generated by the subscriber.
AT&T Mobility also uses service revenues to calculate margin to
facilitate comparison, both internally and externally with its
competitors, as they calculate their margins using service revenues
as well.
There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial
measures. EBITDA 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, which directly affect AT&T
Mobility's net income. Management compensates for these limitations
by carefully analyzing how its competitors present 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 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.
FREE CASH FLOW DISCUSSION
Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus
construction and capital expenditures. Free cash flow after
dividends is defined as cash from operations minus construction,
capital expenditures and dividends. Free cash flow yield is defined
as cash from continuing operations less construction and capital
expenditures as a percentage of market capitalization computed on
the last trading day of the quarter. Market capitalization is
computed by multiplying the end of period stock price by the end of
period shares outstanding. We believe these metrics provide useful
information to our investors because management monthly reviews
free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is
generated by normal business operations, including capital
expenditures, and makes decisions based on it. Management also
views it as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash
to shareowners.
