AT&T Mergers and Acquisitions Presentation Deck

Notes A1. CAGR is Compound annual growth rate. A2. EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization. A3. The company (AT&T) expects adjustments to 2021-2024 reported diluted EPS to include merger- related amortization ($4.3 billion for 2021 and approximately $1 billion per quarter in 2022 until closing of the transaction) and other adjustments, 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. AT&T's 2021 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. A4. Dividend payout ratio is total dividends paid divided by free cash flow. 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 cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities and capital expenditures, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation between projected free cash flow and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort. A5. Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. 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 by the sum of the most recent four quarters of Adjusted EBITDA. 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 Adjusted EBITDA and the and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort. 17 AT&T D1. Free cash flow, gross leverage, net leverage and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Free cash flow is cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities and capital expenditures, we are not able to provide a reconciliation between projected free cash flow and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort. Gross leverage is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of the most recent four quarters Adjusted EBITDA. Net leverage is calculated by dividing net debt (total debt less cash) by the sum of the most recent four quarters Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA estimates depend on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we are not able to provide a reconciliation between adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort. In addition, pro forma free cash flow, net leverage and adjusted EBITDA for the combined entity are estimates only and we are not able to provide a reconciliation between the most comparable GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort.
