DALLAS, April 24, 2012 - AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today reported
first-quarter results highlighted by strong 4G mobile data sales
and wireless margins, and solid revenue and earnings growth.
"We continue to capitalize on our terrific momentum in mobile
Internet," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and chief
executive officer. "Smartphone and branded computing device sales
continue to set a record pace, mobile data revenues were up nearly
20 percent, and we achieved this growth with expanding margins.
These results add confidence in our outlook for the year."
First-Quarter Financial Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, AT&T's consolidated
revenues totaled $31.8 billion, up $575 million, or 1.8 percent,
versus the year-earlier quarter.
Compared with results for the first quarter of 2011, operating
expenses were $25.7 billion versus $25.4 billion; operating income
was $6.1 billion, up from $5.8 billion; and operating income margin
was 19.2 percent, compared to 18.6 percent.
First-quarter 2012 net income attributable to AT&T totaled
$3.6 billion, or $0.60 per diluted share, up from $3.4 billion, or
$0.57 per diluted share, in the year-earlier quarter.
First-quarter 2012 cash from operating activities totaled $7.8
billion, and capital expenditures totaled $4.3 billion. Free cash
flow - cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures -
totaled $3.5 billion. During the first quarter, AT&T began
repurchasing shares under its outstanding 300 million share buyback
authorization. The company repurchased 67.7 million of its shares
for $2.1 billion in the quarter.
WIRELESS OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Led by mobile data growth in the first quarter, AT&T
delivered strong smartphone and branded computing device sales with
solid data revenue growth, lower postpaid churn and expanding
margins. Highlights included:
Wireless Data Revenues Increase $1 Billion. Total wireless
revenues, which include equipment sales, were up 5.4 percent year
over year to $16.1 billion. Wireless service revenues increased 4.3
percent, to $14.6 billion, in the first quarter. Wireless data
revenues - driven by Internet access, access to applications,
messaging and related services - increased by more than $1 billion,
or 19.9 percent, from the year-earlier quarter to $6.1 billion.
First-quarter wireless operating expenses totaled $11.7 billion, up
3.4 percent versus the year-earlier quarter, and wireless operating
income was $4.4 billion, up 11.3 percent year over year.
Wireless Margins Expand Even With Strong Smartphone Sales.
First-quarter wireless margins grew significantly, driven by
improved operating efficiencies and further revenue gains from the
company's 41 million high-quality smartphone subscribers.
AT&T's first-quarter wireless operating income margin was 27.2
percent versus 25.8 percent in the year-earlier quarter, and
AT&T's wireless EBITDA service margin was 41.6 percent,
compared with 39.0 percent in the first quarter of 2011. (EBITDA
service margin is operating income before depreciation and
amortization, divided by total service revenues.)
Subscriber Gains in Every Category. AT&T posted a net
increase in total wireless subscribers of 726,000 in the first
quarter to reach 103.9 million in service. This included gains in
every customer category. Subscriber additions for the quarter
include postpaid net adds of 187,000. Prepaid net adds were
125,000, connected device net adds were 230,000 and reseller net
adds were 184,000. First-quarter net adds reflect continued
adoption of smartphones and sales of tablets.
Smartphone Sales Exceed First-Quarter Record. AT&T sold 5.5
million smartphones, exceeding a first-quarter sales record set
last year. Smartphones represented more than 78 percent of postpaid
device sales. At the end of the quarter, 59.3 percent, or 41.2
million, of AT&T's postpaid subscribers had smartphones, up
from 46.2 percent and 31.5 million a year earlier. AT&T's ARPU
for smartphones is 90 percent higher than for non-smartphone
subscribers. About 88 percent of smartphone subscribers are on
FamilyTalk(R) or business plans. Churn levels for these subscribers
are significantly lower than for other postpaid subscribers. About
30 percent of AT&T's postpaid smartphone customers use a
4G-capable device.
Both Android and iPhone device sales remain strong. iPhone sales
were helped by AT&T's 4G network, which lets iPhone 4S download
three-times faster than other U.S. carriers' networks. In the
quarter, the company activated 4.3 million iPhones, with 21 percent
new to AT&T.
Strong Branded Computing Sales. AT&T had its best-ever
first-quarter sales for branded computing subscribers, a new
wireless data revenue growth area for the company that includes
tablets, tethering plans, aircards, mobile Wi-Fi hot spots and
other data-only devices. AT&T added 460,000 of these devices to
reach 5.8 million, up almost 70 percent in total subscribers from a
year ago. During the quarter, 240,000 tablets were added, about
three-quarters of which were postpaid.
61 Percent of Smartphone Subscribers on Tiered Data Plans. The
number of subscribers on tiered data plans also continues to
increase. About 25 million, or 61 percent, of all smartphone
subscribers are on tiered data plans compared to 38 percent a year
ago, and more than 70 percent have chosen the higher-tiered plans.
AT&T's postpaid wireless subscribers on data plans increased by
15.1 percent over the past year.
Industry-Leading Postpaid ARPU Continues Growth. Postpaid
subscriber ARPU increased 1.7 percent versus the year-earlier
quarter to $64.46. AT&T continues to lead the industry with
postpaid subscriber ARPU. This marked the 13(th) consecutive
quarter AT&T has posted a year-over-year increase in postpaid
ARPU. Postpaid data ARPU reached $26.92, up 15.3 percent versus the
year-earlier quarter.
Postpaid Churn Improves. Postpaid churn reached its lowest level
in seven quarters. For the first quarter, postpaid churn was 1.10
percent, compared to 1.18 percent in the year-ago first quarter and
1.21 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. Total churn was up, at
1.47 percent versus 1.36 percent in the first quarter of 2011 and
1.39 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, due to higher reseller
and connected device churn.
WIRELINE OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
AT&T's first-quarter wireline results were led by continued
improving trends in business and strong growth in U-verse revenues.
Highlights included:
Wireline Operating Income Improves. AT&T's wireline
operating income totaled $1.8 billion, 2.4 percent higher than the
first quarter of 2011 and down 1.2 percent versus the fourth
quarter of 2011. First-quarter wireline operating income margin was
12.2 percent, compared to 11.8 percent in the year-earlier quarter.
Total first-quarter wireline revenues were $14.9 billion, down 0.8
percent versus the year-earlier quarter and down slightly
sequentially. First-quarter wireline operating expenses were $13.1
billion, down 1.2 percent versus the first quarter of 2011 and down
slightly sequentially. Improved consumer and business strategic
services revenue trends and execution of cost initiatives helped to
partially offset declines in voice revenues.
Business Revenues Continue Improving Trends. Business revenues
had their best year-over-year comparison in the last three years.
Total business revenues were $9.2 billion, down 0.8 percent versus
the year-earlier quarter. Business service revenues declined 0.3
percent year over year, compared to a year-over-year decline of 4.4
percent in the year-ago quarter, and were essentially flat
sequentially. Declines in legacy products were largely offset by
continued strong growth in strategic business services.
Business Data Revenue Growth Accelerates.Revenues from strategic
business services, the new-generation capabilities that lead
AT&T's most advanced business solutions - including Ethernet,
VPNs, hosting, IP conferencing and application services - grew 19.0
percent versus the year-earlier quarter, continuing strong trends
in this area. This now represents a $6.2 billion annualized revenue
stream. Total business data revenue growth accelerated to 4.2
percent year over year, the strongest showing in four years.
U-verse Drives Consumer Revenue Growth. Continued strong growth
in consumer IP data services in the first quarter offset lower
revenues from voice and legacy products. Driven by strength in IP
data services, revenues from residential customers totaled $5.4
billion, an increase of 1.0 percent versus the first quarter a year
ago. The first quarter marked the seventh consecutive quarter of
year-over-year growth in wireline consumer revenues. U-verse
continues to drive a transformation in wireline consumer, reflected
by the fact that consumer broadband, video and voice over IP
revenues now represent 55 percent of wireline consumer revenues, up
from 47 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 17.5 percent year-over-year
growth in IP revenues from residential customers (broadband,
U-verse TV and U-verse Voice) and 3.8 percent sequential quarterly
growth. Consumer U-verse revenues grew 38.2 percent compared with
the year-ago first quarter and were up 8.5 percent versus the
fourth quarter of 2011.
U-verse Tops 6 Million Subscriber Mark. Total AT&T U-verse
subscribers (TV and High Speed Internet) reached 6.2 million in the
first quarter. AT&T U-verse TV added 200,000 subscribers to
reach 4.0 million in service. In the first quarter, the AT&T
U-verse High Speed Internet attach rate was more than 90 percent
and about half of new subscribers took AT&T U-verse Voice.
About 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 $169, up slightly year over year.
Penetration of eligible living units continues to grow and was at
16.8 percent in the first quarter, and 27.1 percent across areas
marketed to for 42 months or more. AT&T U-verse High Speed
Internet delivered a first-quarter net gain of 718,000 subscribers
to reach a total of 5.9 million, more than offsetting losses from
DSL. Overall, AT&T added 103,000 wireline broadband
connections. About 45 percent of consumers have a broadband plan
delivering speeds up to 6 Mbps or higher versus 35 percent in the
year-ago quarter.

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 operating income before 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.

EBITDA DISCUSSION
For AT&T, EBITDA is defined as operating income before
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, net income attributable to
noncontrolling interest 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.
