AT&T Analyst & Investor Conference
Appendix - Non-GAAP Measures
AT&T Pro Forma for 2021 reflects the historical operating results of the company excluding certain businesses (WarnerMedia, Xandr, Playdemic, Otter Media, Vrio, Video and other dispositions included in Corporate
and Other), as if such transfers occurred as of January 1, 2020, and reflects many but not all adjustments required for pro forma financial information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. See our
Form 8-K dated March 11, 2022 for further discussion and information. Guidance for 2022 and 2023 is presented on a comparable basis to AT&T Pro Forma for 2021.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. EBITDA is operating income before
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is 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. For 2021, reconciliation
of Business Wireline EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the 4Q21 Financial and Operational Schedules & Non-GAAP Reconciliations document on our Investor Relations website,
investors.att.com. For 2021, reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in our Form 8-K dated March 11, 2022. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA estimates depend on future
levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we cannot provide a reconciliation between projected EBITDA and projected Adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable
GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted earnings per share. Adjusted EPS is 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 disposition and merger integration and transaction costs, actuarial gains and losses, significant abandonments and impairment, severance and other material gains and losses. For 2021, reconciliation of this
non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in our Form 8-K dated March 11, 2022. The company expects adjustments to 2022 and 2023 reported diluted EPS (that excludes
any impact of adoption of new accounting standards) to include the proportionate share of intangible amortization at the DIRECTV equity method investment in the range of $1.5 billion for 2022 and $1.3 billion for 2023,
a non-cash mark-to-market benefit plan gain/loss, and other items. The company expects the mark-to-market adjustment, which is driven by interest rates and investment returns that are not reasonably estimable at
this time, to be a significant item. Our 2022 and 2023 Adjusted EPS depends on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we cannot provide a reconciliation
between these projected non-GAAP metrics and the reported GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort.
Capital investment includes capital expenditures and cash paid for vendor financing. For 2021, reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in our
Form 8-K dated March 11, 2022. In 2022, AT&T Capital Investment is expected to be in the $24 billion range (with capital expenditures in the $20 billion range and vendor financing payments in the $4 billion range).
Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact capital expenditures and vendor financing payments, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation between projected capital investment
and the most comparable GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort. Capital intensity is calculated as operating revenues divided by Capital Investment.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. 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. For 2021, reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable
GAAP measure is included in our Form 8-K dated March 11, 2022. Our projected total dividend payout ratio for 2023 is calculated as expected total dividends paid of $8.2 billion ($8.0 billion common and $0.2 billion
preferred) divided by projected free cash flow of approximately $20 billion. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities, cash distributions from DIRECTV, capital
expenditures and vendor financing payments, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation between projected free cash flow and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort.
Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA ratios are non-GAAP financial measures that are frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio
is calculated by dividing the Net Debt (calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents) by the sum of the most recent four quarters of Adjusted EBITDA.
