AT&T Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results
AT&T
Inc.* (NYSE:T)
reported solid wireless, business and international results in the
fourth quarter. Highlights include strong postpaid phone gains,
record-low fourth-quarter postpaid phone churn and DIRECTV NOW
surpassing 1 million subscribers.
"The impact of tax reform and regulatory rationalization will be
substantial and positive for the U.S. economy and AT&T," said Randall
Stephenson, AT&T Chairman and CEO. "Our FirstNet win and the opt-in by
100 percent of all states and territories will enable us to put the
industry's most robust spectrum assets to work in building a
best-in-class nationwide network for public safety and first responders.
On the Time Warner front, we look forward to presenting our case in
court and closing the deal."
Consolidated Financial Results
AT&T's consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $41.7
billion versus$41.8 billion in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to
declines in legacy wireline services, wireless service revenues and
domestic video, which were mostly offset by growth in wireless equipment
and International. Compared with results for the fourth quarter of 2016,
operating expenses were $41.3 billion versus $37.6 billion primarily due
to a write-off of certain network assets and higher wireless equipment
costs; operating income was $0.4 billion versus $4.2 billion; and
operating income margin was 0.9% versus 10.2%. When adjusting for the
write-off of certain network assets, non-cash actuarial loss on benefit
plans, amortization, merger- and integration-related expenses and other
items, operating income was $6.9 billion versus $7.3 billion in the
year-ago quarter and operating income margin was 16.5%, versus 17.5% in
the year-ago quarter.
Fourth-quarter net income attributable to AT&T was $19.0 billion, or
$3.08 per diluted share, and reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, compared to $2.4 billion, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the
year-ago quarter. Adjusting for the ($3.16) benefit from the
remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities, $0.41 write-off of certain
network assets and natural disaster impacts, $0.19 non-cash actuarial
loss on benefit plans from the annual remeasurement process and $0.26 of
costs for amortization, merger- and integration-related expenses and
other items, earnings per diluted share was $0.78 compared to an
adjusted $0.66 in the year-ago quarter. (The increase in adjusted
diluted earnings per share includes $0.13 impact of the new tax law on
the fourth-quarter 2017.)
Cash from operating activities was $9.9 billion in the fourth quarter,
and capital expenditures were $5.1 billion. Free cash flow - cash from
operating activities minus capital expenditures - was $4.8 billion for
the quarter.
Full-Year Results For full-year 2017, compared with 2016
results, AT&T's consolidated revenues totaled $160.5 billion versus
$163.8 billion, primarily due to declines in legacy wireline services
and wireless service revenues, which were partially offset by growth in
International and strategic business services. Operating expenses were
$139.6 billion compared with$139.4 billion. Excluding a $2.9 billion
write-off of certain network assets, operating expenses decreased due to
cost efficiencies. Operating income was $20.9 billion versus $24.3
billion; and operating income margin was 13.0% versus 14.9%. Net income
attributable to AT&T reflects the impact of the new tax law and was
$29.5 billion versus $13.0 billion; and earnings per diluted share was
$4.76, compared with $2.10. With adjustments for both years, operating
income was $31.8 billion versus $31.8 billion; operating income margin
was 19.8% versus 19.4%; and earnings per diluted share totaled $3.05,
compared with $2.84, an increase of 7.4%. (The increase in adjusted
diluted earnings per share includes $0.13 impact of the new tax law on
the fourth-quarter 2017.)
AT&T's full-year cash from operating activities was $39.2 billion versus
$39.3 billion in 2016. Capital expenditures, including capitalized
interest, totaled $21.6 billion versus $22.4 billion in 2016. Full-year
free cash flow was $17.6 billion compared to $16.9 billion in 2016. The
company's free cash flow dividend payout ratio for the full year was 68%.2
2018 Outlook1 On a standalone basis, including
impacts of tax reform and the new ASC 606 revenue recognition standard,
AT&T expects in 2018:
-
Adjusted EPS in the $3.50 range
-
Free cash flow of about $21 billion
-
Capital expenditures approaching $25 billion; $23 billion net of
expected FirstNet reimbursements and inclusive of $1 billion
incremental tax reform investment
1Adjustments include a non-cash mark-to-market
benefit plan gain/loss, merger-related interest expense, merger
integration and amortization costs and other adjustments. We expect the
mark-to-market adjustment which is driven by interest rates and
investment returns that are not reasonably estimable at this time, to
be the largest of these items. Accordingly, we cannot provide a
reconciliation between forecasted adjusted diluted EPS and reported
diluted EPS without unreasonable effort.
2Free cash flow dividend payout ratio is dividends
divided by free cash flow

uncertainties, and actual results might differ materially. A discussion
of factors that may affect future results is contained in AT&T's filings

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.

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) and our supplemental
presentation of the Mexico Wireless and Latin America operations of our
International segment, 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. Management uses Mexico Wireless
EBITDA in evaluating profitability trends after our two Mexico wireless
acquisitions in 2015, and our investments in building a nationwide LTE
network by end of 2018. Management uses Latin America EBITDA in
evaluating the ability of our Latin America operations to generate cash
to finance its own operations.
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. 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, unless earlier remeasurement is required (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 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% for
transactions prior to tax reform and 25% for transactions after tax
reform. Certain foreign operations with losses, where such losses are
not realizable for tax purposes, are not tax effected, resulting in no
tax impact for Venezuelan devaluation. For years prior to 2017,
adjustments related to Mexico operations were taxed at the 30% marginal
rate for Mexico.

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.

1 Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and
associated margins exclude all actuarial gains or losses ($1.3
billion loss for the year end 2017) associated with our
postemployment benefit plan, which we immediately recognize in the
income statement, pursuant to our accounting policy for the
recognition of actuarial gains/losses. As a result, Adjusted
Operating Income and Margin reflect an expected return on plan
assets of $3.5 billion (based on an average expected return on plan
assets of 7.75% for our pension trust and 5.75% for our VEBA
trusts), rather than the actual return on plan assets of $6.6
billion (actual pension return of 14.6% and VEBA return of 10.7%),
included in the GAAP measure of income.

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 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.
Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by annualizing the year-to-date
Adjusted EBITDA.
