CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
AT&T's consolidated revenues for the third quarter totaled
$40.9 billion, up 4.6% versus the year-earlier period due to the
July 24, 2015 acquisition of DIRECTV. Excluding the impact of the
DIRECTV acquisition and foreign exchange, revenues were essentially
flat, as growth in video and IP-based services mostly offset
pressures from declines in wireless and legacy services. Compared
with results for the third quarter of 2015, operating expenses were
$34.5 billion versus $33.2 billion; operating income was $6.4
billion versus $5.9 billion; and operating income margin was 15.7%
versus 15.2%. When adjusting for $0.14 of amortization, $0.03 in
merger- and integration-related costs and $0.03 of
employee-separation costs, operating income was $8.3 billion versus
$7.9 billion; and operating income margin was 20.3%, consistent
with the year-ago quarter.
Third-quarter net income attributable to AT&T totaled $3.3
billion, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 billion, or
$0.50 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusting for
$0.20 of amortization, merger- and integration-related costs and
other expenses, earnings per diluted share was $0.74 compared to an
adjusted $0.74 in the year-ago quarter.
Cash from operating activities was $11.0 billion in the third
quarter, up 1.8%, and capital investment(1) totaled $5.9 billion.
Free cash flow - cash from operating activities minus capital
expenditures - was $5.2 billion for the quarter, down 6.5%, and
$13.3 billion year to date, up 3.7%.
AT&T also announced that its board of directors has approved
a 2.1% increase in the company's quarterly dividend. AT&T's
quarterly dividend will increase from $0.48 to $0.49 per share. The
annual dividend will increase from $1.92 to $1.96 per share. The
dividend will be payable on Feb. 1, 2017 to common stockholders of
record on Jan. 10, 2017.
(1) 3Q16 includes $87 million in capital purchases in Mexico
with favorable vendor payment terms.

Business Solutions
The Business Solutions segment provides both wireless and
wireline services to business customers and to individual
subscribers who purchase wireless services through
employer-sponsored plans. AT&T's wireless and wired networks
provide complete communications solutions to these customers.
AT&T's business customer revenues include results from
enterprise, public sector, wholesale and small/midsize
customers.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total third-quarter revenues from business customers were $17.8
billion, up 0.4% versus the year-earlier quarter. Growth in
mobility and strategic business services offset declines in legacy
services and a continuing low-growth economy. When adjusting for
the transition of certain hosting operations, total revenues would
have been even higher. Business Solutions service revenues were
$15.6 billion, essentially stable year over year.
Third-quarter operating expenses were $13.5 billion, up 0.5%
versus the third quarter of 2015. Operating income totaled $4.3
billion, up 0.1% year over year. Third-quarter operating income
margin was 24.2%, stable year over year with declines in
higher-margin legacy services offsetting growth in wireless and IP
revenue and cost efficiencies.
BUSINESS WIRELESS FINANCIAL RESULTS
Business wireless revenues were up 4.0% year over year to $9.9
billion driven by wireless service revenue growth and higher
equipment revenues. Wireless service revenues were up 4.1% year
over year, reflecting smartphone and tablet gains and continued
migration from consumer plans.
BUSINESS WIRELINE FINANCIAL RESULTS
In business wireline, declines in legacy products were partially
offset by continued growth in strategic business services. Total
business wireline revenues were $7.8 billion, down 3.7% year over
year. When adjusting for the impact of the transition of certain
hosting operations and foreign exchange pressures, wireline
revenues would have decreased 2.5%. When adjusting for these same
items, data revenues were stable. Data revenues make up nearly 60%
of Business Solutions wireline revenues.

Revenues from strategic business services, the next-generation
wireline capabilities that lead AT&T's most advanced business
solutions - including VPNs, Ethernet, cloud, hosting, IP
conferencing, voice over IP, dedicated internet, U-verse and
security services - grew by $242 million, or 9.1%, versus the
year-earlier quarter. These services represent an annualized
revenue stream of more than $11 billion.
SUBSCRIBER METRICS
At the end of the third quarter, AT&T had 79.4 million
business wireless subscribers. The company added 191,000 postpaid
subscribers and 1.3 million connected devices in the third quarter.
Postpaid business wireless subscriber churn was 0.97% versus 1.05%
in the year-ago quarter.
During the quarter, the company also added nearly 15,000
high-speed IP broadband business subscribers. Total business
broadband had a loss of 18,000 subscribers in the quarter.

access to the latest technology solutions. In recent business news,
AT&T:
-- Announced a multiyear agreement between AT&T

will help customers migrate to and use the
AWS Cloud with the AT&T network. The solutions

Entertainment Group
AT&T's Entertainment Group provides entertainment,
high-speed internet and communications services predominantly to
residential customers in the United States.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total revenues were $12.7 billion, up 17.1% versus the
year-earlier quarter mostly due to the acquisition of DIRECTV. Also
contributing to the gain was continued growth in consumer IP
services.
Broadband revenues were up 5% in the quarter with IP broadband
growing by 12%. AdWorks has grown to a $1.5 billion annualized
revenue stream with double-digit revenue growth year to date and
strong margins.
Third-quarter operating expenses were $11.2 billion, up 14.2%
from a year ago due to the acquisition of DIRECTV and higher
content costs. Operating income totaled $1.5 billion, up from the
year-ago $1.0 billion. Third-quarter operating income margin was
11.7%, up from 9.4% in the year-earlier quarter with satellite and
IP revenue growth and cost efficiencies offsetting TV content cost
pressure and declines in legacy services. In the fourth quarter, on
a sequential basis, margins will be pressured by a full quarter of
NFL Sunday Ticket costs, annual content cost increases and start-up
costs for DIRECTV NOW.
SUBSCRIBER METRICS
Total video subscribers were essentially flat in the quarter as
competition increases. The company added 323,000 satellite
subscribers in the third quarter. U-verse TV subscribers declined
326,000 as the company continued to focus on profitability and
increasingly emphasized satellite sales. For the second straight
quarter, gross additions increased on a year-over-year basis even
when excluding IPTV customers transitioning to DIRECTV.
The Entertainment Group ended the quarter with 25.3 million
video subscribers. While the company expects positive video net
adds in the fourth quarter, it expects total video net adds for the
year to decline slightly. At the end of the third quarter, about
100,000 pending video customers had the capability to watch TV on
their mobile devices; however, these customers were not included in
third-quarter subscriber numbers since the video service had not
yet been installed at their homes.
The Entertainment Group had a net gain of 156,000 IP broadband
subscribers in the third quarter. Total Entertainment Group
broadband subscribers decreased 5,000 in the quarter. IP broadband
subscribers at the end of the quarter totaled 12.8 million.

Consumer Mobility
The Consumer Mobility segment provides nationwide wireless
service to consumer and wholesale subscribers located in the United
States or in U.S. territories. The company's wireless network
powers voice and data services, including high-speed internet,
video entertainment and home monitoring services.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total revenues from Consumer Mobility customers totaled $8.3
billion, down 5.9% versus the year-earlier quarter, reflecting
declines in equipment revenues from lower handset sales and in
postpaid service revenues due to the success of Mobile Share plans
and migrations to business plans. Third-quarter operating expenses
were $5.7 billion, down 5.7% versus the third quarter of 2015,
reflecting lower equipment and commission costs as well as
increased operational efficiencies.
AT&T's Consumer Mobility operating income totaled $2.6
billion, down 6.2% versus the third quarter of 2015. Third-quarter
operating income margin was 31.1%, down slightly from the
year-earlier quarter with lower volumes, fewer subsidized sales and
cost efficiencies mostly offsetting service-revenue pressure from
customers choosing Mobile Share plans. Consumer Mobility EBITDA
margin was 42.5%, compared to 42.3% in the third quarter of 2015.
(EBITDA margin is operating income before depreciation and
amortization, divided by total wireless revenues.) EBITDA service
margin was 50.9%, up from 50.5% in the year-ago quarter. (EBITDA
service margin is operating income before depreciation and
amortization, divided by total service revenues.)
SUBSCRIBER METRICS
At the end of the third quarter, AT&T had 53.9 million
Consumer Mobility subscribers. In the quarter, Consumer Mobility
gained 50,000 total subscribers with 21,000 postpaid, 304,000
prepaid and 41,000 connected device net adds offsetting a loss of
316,000 reseller subscribers. Consumer Mobility postpaid churn was
1.19%, compared to 1.33% in the year-ago quarter.

CONSUMER MOBILITY INNOVATION
AT&T is a leader in mobile internet, delivering expanded
choice in devices, services and applications. In recent weeks,
AT&T:
-- Introduced Mobile Share Advantage (MSA) plans,
which offer more data at a lower cost per
megabyte than some of the plans previously
offered by AT&T. With the new MSA plans, customers
get unlimited talk and text, rollover data
and shareable data with no overage charges.
In place of overage charges, once a customer
uses the data in a plan, data speeds are reduced
for the remainder of the billing cycle.
-- Reached agreements with Empresa De Telecomunicaciones
De Cuba to allow AT&T wireless customers to
roam in Cuba and to enable direct interconnection
between the U.S. and Cuba. The deal continues
to enhance AT&T's global coverage for customers.
-- Enhanced the AT&T THANKS program by adding
priority presale ticket access to popular
Live Nation concerts. The first two presales
gave customers early access to tickets to
see Panic! At the Disco and Thomas Rhett.
The company also introduced new tiers with
benefits and offers to complement customers'
needs.
-- Launched a new smartphone plan for Cricket
customers starting at $30/month that includes
unlimited talk and text, plus 1GB of high-speed
data.

International
The International segment includes wireless services in Mexico
and satellite entertainment services in Latin America.
Total International revenues totaled $1.9 billion. Third-quarter
operating expenses were $1.9 billion. AT&T's International
operating loss totaled $54 million. Third-quarter operating income
margin was (2.9)%.
MEXICO
AT&T owns and operates a wireless network in Mexico.
AT&T covered about 74 million people in Mexico with 4G LTE at
the end of the third quarter and expects to cover 100 million POPs
by the end of 2018.
Total wireless revenues from Mexico totaled $582 million, up
0.2% versus the year-earlier quarter, largely due to subscriber
growth offset by foreign exchange and competitive pressures.
Third-quarter operating loss was $148 million compared to a loss of
$134 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting continued
investment in operations, network and subscriber acquisition.
Third-quarter operating expenses benefitted from a few one-time
items. Margins in the fourth quarter are expected to be consistent
with prior quarters.
In the quarter, AT&T added 163,000 postpaid subscribers and
606,000 prepaid subscribers to reach 10.7 million total wireless
subscribers in Mexico, a 32% increase from a year ago.
DIRECTV LATIN AMERICA
AT&T is a leading provider of pay television services in
Latin America with satellite operations serving Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and parts of the
Caribbean. It also owns 41% of Sky Mexico. Sky Mexico financial
results are accounted for as an equity method investment.
DIRECTV Latin America revenues reflect macroeconomic pressure
with weakening local currencies. Total revenues from Latin America
were $1.3 billion. Operating income was $94 million.
Third-quarter subscriber net losses were 48,000, driven by
declines in Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. Total subscribers at
the end of the quarter were 12.5 million. Sky Mexico had
approximately 7.8 million subscribers as of June 30, 2016.

building the company's customer base and deploying
a 4G LTE network in Mexico, while expanding
distribution to match this expanded network
reach.
-- Opened additional points of sale throughout
the country. The company also completed the
rebrand of nearly 2,900 Nextel and Iusacell
points of sale to AT&T.

AT&T Mobility
AT&T's U.S. mobility operations are divided between the
Business Solutions and Consumer Mobility segments. For comparison
purposes, the company is providing supplemental information for its
total domestic mobility operations.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Wireless revenues reflected lower service revenues from the
continued adoption of Mobile Share plans and lower equipment
revenues primarily from fewer handset upgrades and higher
bring-your-own-device subscribers.
-- Total wireless revenues were $18.2 billion,
down 0.7% year over year, due to decreases
in service and equipment revenues. Wireless
service revenues of $15.0 billion were down
0.9% year over year but were up sequentially.
Continued growth of smartphones and tablets
partially offset adoption of Mobile Share
plans. Wireless equipment revenues decreased
0.2% to $3.2 billion.
-- Third-quarter wireless operating expenses
totaled $12.8 billion, down 0.8% year over
year, reflecting operating efficiencies and
lower sales volumes, which offset higher promotional
costs. Wireless operating income was $5.4
billion, down 0.5% year over year, reflecting
continued adoption of Mobile Share plans and
increased promotional activity.
-- Wireless margins reflect adoption of AT&T
Next(SM) , increases in BYOD customers, lower
smartphone upgrade volumes and continued efforts
to drive operating costs out of the business.
AT&T's reported third-quarter wireless operating
income margin was 29.6%, consistent with the
year-earlier quarter.
-- Wireless EBITDA margin was 41.2%, compared
to 40.7% in the third quarter of 2015. Wireless
EBITDA service margin was a best-ever 50.1%,
up from 49.4% in the year-ago quarter.

ARPU
The continued adoption of AT&T Next is reflected in postpaid
service ARPU (average revenues per user).
-- Phone-only postpaid ARPU decreased 1.9% versus
the year-earlier quarter; however, phone-only
postpaid ARPU with AT&T Next monthly billings
increased 1.7% year over year. This growth
comes even with lower upgrade volumes, promotional
offers and an increasing number of customers
holding onto their devices after completing
Next payments.
SUBSCRIBER METRICS
In the third quarter, AT&T posted a net increase in total
wireless subscribers of 1.5 million to reach more than 133 million
in service, up 6.9 million over the past year.
-- The company added 212,000 postpaid subscribers
and 304,000 prepaid subscribers with gains
in both Cricket and GoPhone.
-- AT&T also added 1.3 million connected devices.
It lost 315,000 reseller subscribers in the
quarter, largely due to disconnects from the
company's 2G network. The company added 299,000
postpaid tablet and computing devices in the
quarter and lost 268,000 postpaid phone subscribers
with the majority of the losses in lower-ARPU
feature phones.
-- The company had 516,000 branded net adds (both
postpaid and prepaid) in the quarter, including
165,000 branded smartphone net adds. About
700,000 total branded smartphones were added
to the base.
-- The company expects to shut down its 2G
network on or around Jan. 1, 2017. At
the end of the third quarter, the company
had about 4 million 2G subscribers. This
includes 2.8 million connected devices,
673,000 reseller, 335,000 postpaid and
210,000 prepaid. This compares to more
than 6 million 2G subscribers at the end
of the second quarter. The company has
had success migrating these subscribers
and will continue those efforts in the
fourth quarter; however, the 2G shutdown
is expected to impact net adds and churn
in the fourth quarter.
CHURN
Improvements in postpaid and prepaid churn helped offset higher
connected device and reseller churn.
-- Postpaid churn was 1.05%, compared to 1.16%
in the year-ago quarter, an 11 basis point
improvement. That includes about 2 basis points
of pressure from the 2G network shutdown.
Postpaid phone churn was 0.90%, a 14 basis
point improvement from the year-ago quarter.
Branded churn was 1.63%, compared to 1.68%
in the year-ago quarter. Total churn was 1.45%,
up from 1.33% in the year-ago quarter driven
by churn from the shutdown of the 2G network.
The planned shutdown of the 2G network contributed
more than 20 basis points of pressure to total
churn.

SMARTPHONES
The company's branded smartphone base continued to grow in the
quarter, and even more customers moved off the subsidy model -
either choosing AT&T Next or bringing their own devices.
-- The company had 7.0 million branded smartphone
gross adds and upgrades in the quarter, including
1.9 million from prepaid. The postpaid upgrade
rate in the quarter was 5.1%.
-- Sales on AT&T Next were 4.3 million, or 83%
of all postpaid smartphone gross adds and
upgrades. The company also had 595,000 BYOD
gross adds, the second most ever. That means
about 94% of postpaid smartphone transactions
in the quarter were non-subsidy.
o About 50% of the company's postpaid
smartphone base is currently on AT&T
Next, with almost 80% of postpaid smartphone
subscribers on no-device-subsidy plans.
-- At the end of the quarter, 90%, or 58.7 million,
of AT&T's postpaid phone subscribers had smartphones.
Smartphones accounted for 96% of postpaid
phone sales during the quarter.
DATA PLANS
Customers continue to choose Mobile Share and unlimited wireless
with TV plans.
-- The total number of Mobile Share connections
was 57.1 million with an average of about
3 devices per account. Nearly 40% of Mobile
Share accounts are on 15 gigabyte or larger
data plans.
-- About 6.7 million postpaid subscribers are
on unlimited wireless with TV plans.

Exhibit 99.3
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.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus Capital
expenditures. Free cash flow after dividends is defined as cash
from operations minus Capital expenditures and dividends. Free cash
flow dividend payout ratio is defined as the percentage of
dividends paid 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
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.

Free Cash Flow Dividend Payout Ratio 56.9% 44.0% 66.8% 57.2%
Capital Investment
Capital Investment is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds to
Capital expenditures the amount of vendor financing arrangements
for capital improvements to our wireless network in Mexico. These
favorable payment terms are considered vendor financing
arrangements and are reported as repayments of debt instead of
Capital expenditures. Management believes that Capital Investment
provides relevant and useful information to investors and other
users of our financial data in evaluating long-term investment in
our business.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
EBITDA service margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by service
revenues.
When discussing our segment results, EBITDA excludes equity in
net income (loss) of affiliates, and depreciation and amortization
from segment contribution. For our supplemental presentation of our
combined domestic wireless operations (AT&T Mobility), EBITDA
excludes depreciation and amortization from Operating Income.
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 segment 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
segment managers are responsible and upon which we evaluate their
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 Consumer Mobility
segment operating margin and our supplemental AT&T Mobility
operating margin. For the periods covered by this report, we
subsidized a portion of some of our wireless handset sales, which
are recognized in the period in which we sell the handset.
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. 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.
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, 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
nonoperational in nature, such as 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
fourth-quarter 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.
The tax impact of adjusting items is calculated using the
effective tax rate during the quarter except for (1) adjustments
related to Mexico operations, which are taxed at the 30% marginal
rate for Mexico and (2) adjustments that, given their magnitude can
drive a change in the effective tax rate, reflect the actual tax
expense or combined marginal rate of approximately 38%.

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. 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.
AT&T's calculation of Adjusted items, as presented, may differ
from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Entertainment Group Segment
Adjusted Operating Revenues includes the external operating
revenues from DIRECTV U.S. as reported in the DIRECTV Form 10-Q/A
dated June 30, 2015 adjusted to (1) include operations reported in
other DIRECTV operating segments that AT&T has chosen to manage
in our Entertainment Group segment, (2) conform DIRECTV's practice
of recognizing revenue to be received under contractual commitments
on a straight line basis over the minimum contract period to
AT&T's method of limiting the revenue recognized to the monthly
amounts billed and (3) eliminate intercompany transactions from
DIRECTV U.S. and the Entertainment Group segment. Adjusting
Entertainment Group segment operating revenues provides for
comparability between periods.

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. The
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing the Net
Debt by annualized Net Debt Adjusted EBITDA. Annualized Net Debt
Adjusted EBITDA excludes severance-related adjustments as described
in our credit agreements. 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. Annualized Adjusted
EBITDA is calculated by annualizing the year-to-date Net Debt
Adjusted EBITDA.
