AT&T Results Presentation Deck
Notes
1. Global HBO Max and HBO subscribers consist of domestic and international HBO Max and HBO subscribers, and exclude free trials, basic and Cinemax subscribers. Domestic HBO Max and HBO subscribers consist of
U.S. accounts with access to HBO Max (including wholesale subscribers that may not have signed in) and HBO accounts, and exclude free trials and Cinemax subscribers. International HBO Max and HBO subscribers
consist of non-domestic accounts with access to HBO Max (including wholesale subscribers that may not have signed in) and HBO accounts, and exclude free trial, basic and Cinemax subscribers.
2. 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. In 4Q21, free cash flow is cash from operating activities of
$11.3 billion, plus cash distributions from DIRECTV classified as investing activities of $1.3 billion, minus capital expenditures of $3.8 billion. In 2021, free cash flow is cash from operating activities of $42.0 billion, plus
cash distributions from DIRECTV classified as investing activities of $1.3 billion, minus capital expenditures of $16.5 billion. Free cash flow total dividend payout ratio is total dividends paid ($15.1 billion in 2021) divided
by free cash flow. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash from operating activities, cash distributions from DIRECTV, 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.
3. 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 most comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable effort.
4. EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and adjusted operating income are non-GAAP financial measures that are frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. Reconciliation
of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the Financial and Operational Schedules & Non-GAAP Reconciliations document on the company's Investor
Relations website, investors.att.com.
5. "Revenues excluding Video" reflects the removal of the U.S. Video business and Vrio results from all periods presented. 4Q21 is calculated as Operating Revenues of $41.0 billion minus Vrio operating revenues of
$0.4 billion. For 2021, Revenues excluding Video of $153.2 billion is calculated as Operating Revenues of $168.9 billion minus Video operating revenues of $15.5 billion, minus Vrio operating revenues of $2.6 billion, plus
WarnerMedia sales for content and advertising of $2.5 billion that are now external after close of the transactions. Further information is included in Form 8-K dated January 26, 2022.
6. Gross capital investment includes capital expenditures and cash payments for vendor financing and excludes FirstNet reimbursements. In 4Q21, gross capital investment included $0.6 billion in vendor financing
payments and excluded $0.5 billion in FirstNet reimbursements. In 2022, vendor financing payments are expected to be in the $4 billion range.
7. The company expects adjustments to 2022 reported diluted EPS (that excludes any impact of adoption of new accounting standards) to include merger-related amortization in the range of $1 billion per quarter
(prior to close of the WarnerMedia-Discovery transaction) and other adjustments, the proportionate share of intangible amortization at the DIRECTV equity method investment in the range of $1.5 billion, 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 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.
