NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Dollars in millions except per share amounts
NOTE 1. PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation Throughout this document, AT&T Inc. is referred to as “we,” “AT&T” or the “Company.” The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries and affiliates which we control. AT&T is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates operate worldwide in the telecommunications and technology industries. You should read this document in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. These consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the presented interim periods, consisting of normal recurring accruals and other items.
The consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities (VIE) where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that we do not control but have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates of fair value, probable losses and expenses, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been conformed to the current period’s presentation providing further disaggregation of activities within Cash from Operations in our consolidated statements of cash flows and additional revenue categories for our Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline business units (see Note 5).
Stock Repurchase Program In December 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10,000 of AT&T common stock. We began buying back stock under this program in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had repurchased approximately 34 million shares totaling $958 under this authorization, excluding brokerage fees and the one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
To implement repurchase authorizations, we use open market repurchase programs, relying on Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 where feasible.
Tax Legislation On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We do not anticipate the legislation to materially impact our income tax expense, but expect that it will have a material impact on cash taxes paid relative to our expectations.

NOTE 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our segments are comprised of strategic business units or other operations that offer products and services to different customer segments over various technology platforms and/or in different geographies that are managed accordingly. We have two reportable segments: Communications and Latin America.
Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Our CODM uses operating income to evaluate performance and allocate resources, including capital allocations, when managing the business. Our CODM manages operations through the review of actual and forecasted “Operations and Support Expenses” information at a segment and business unit level, with Communications and Latin America segments primarily evaluated on a direct cost basis and comprised of equipment, compensation, network and technology, sales, advertising and other costs.
Additionally, business unit expenses within the Communications segment include direct and shared costs. Direct costs are incurred in support of products and services offered by the business units, such as equipment costs (predominantly wireless devices), network access, rents, leases, sales support, customer provisioning and commission expenses. Shared costs amongst the business units generally include information technology, network engineering and construction costs, advertising and other general and administrative expenses.

The Communications segment provides wireless and wireline telecom and broadband services to consumers located in the U.S. and businesses globally. Our business strategies reflect integrated product offerings that cut across product lines and utilize shared assets. This segment contains the following business units:
•Mobility provides nationwide wireless service and equipment.
•Business Wireline provides advanced ethernet-based fiber services, fixed wireless services, IP Voice and managed professional services, as well as legacy voice and data services and related equipment, to business customers.
•Consumer Wireline provides broadband services, including fiber connections that provide multi-gig services, and our fixed wireless access product (AT&T Internet Air or “AIA”) that provides internet services delivered over our 5G wireless network, to residential customers in select locations. Consumer Wireline also provides legacy telephony voice communication services.
The Latin America segment provides wireless services and equipment in Mexico.
Corporate and Other reconciles our segment results to consolidated operating income and income before income taxes.
Corporate includes:
•DTV-related retained costs, which are costs previously allocated to the Video business that were retained after the transaction, net of reimbursements from DIRECTV Entertainment Holdings, LLC (DIRECTV) under transition service agreements.
•Parent administration support, which includes costs borne by AT&T where the business units do not influence decision making.
•Securitization fees associated with our sales of receivables (see Note 8).
•Value portfolio, which are businesses no longer integral to our operations or which we no longer actively market.
Other items consist of:
•Certain significant items, which includes items associated with the merger and integration of acquired or divested businesses, including amortization of intangible assets, employee separation charges associated with voluntary and/or strategic offers, asset impairments and abandonments and restructuring, and other items for which the segments are not being evaluated.
“Interest expense,” “Other income (expense) – net” and “Equity in net income of affiliates” are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results.

Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs
Costs to acquire and fulfill customer contracts, including commissions on service activations for our Mobility, Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline services, are deferred and amortized over the contract period or expected customer relationship life, which typically ranges from three years to five years.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
A contract asset is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of our right to bill and receive consideration. The contract asset will decrease as services are provided and billed. For example, when installment sales include promotional discounts (e.g., trade-in device credits) the difference between revenue recognized and consideration received is recorded as a contract asset to be amortized over the contract term.
Our contract assets primarily relate to our wireless businesses. Promotional equipment sales where we offer handset credits, which are allocated between equipment and service in proportion to their standalone selling prices, when customers commit to a

specified service period result in additional contract assets recognized. These contract assets will amortize over the service contract period, resulting in lower future service revenue.
When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Reductions in the contract liability will be recorded as we satisfy the performance obligations.
The following table presents contract assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets:

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent services we are required to provide to customers under bundled or discounted arrangements, which are satisfied as services are provided over the contract term. In determining the transaction price allocated, we do not include non-recurring charges and estimates for usage, nor do we consider arrangements with an original expected duration of less than one year, which are primarily prepaid wireless and residential internet agreements.
Remaining performance obligations associated with business contracts reflect recurring charges billed, adjusted to reflect estimates for sales incentives and revenue adjustments. Performance obligations associated with wireless contracts are estimated using a portfolio approach in which we review all relevant promotional activities, calculating the remaining performance obligation using the average service component for the portfolio and the average device price. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $42,008, of which we expect to recognize approximately 74% by the end of 2026, with the balance recognized thereafter.
NOTE 6. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Many of our employees are covered by one of our noncontributory pension plans. We also provide certain medical, dental, life insurance and death benefits to certain retired employees under various plans and accrue actuarially determined postretirement benefit costs. Our objective in funding these plans, in combination with the standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), is to accumulate assets sufficient to provide benefits described in the plans to employees upon their retirement. We do not have significant funding requirements in 2025. We intend to voluntarily contribute approximately $1,500 to our pension plan by the end of 2026, with more than half of that in 2025.
We recognize actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement plan assets in our consolidated results as a component of “Other income (expense) – net” at our annual measurement date of December 31, unless earlier remeasurements are required.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURE
The Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” provides a three-tiered fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs.
The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used since December 31, 2024.

Investment Securities
Our investment securities include both equity and debt securities that are measured at fair value, as well as equity securities without readily determinable fair values. A substantial portion of the fair values of our investment securities is estimated based on quoted market prices. Investments in equity securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable, orderly transactions for identical or similar securities.

Our cash equivalents (money market securities) and short-term investments (certificate and time deposits) are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values. Short-term investments are recorded in “Prepaid and other current assets” and our investment securities are recorded in “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative transactions to manage certain market risks, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. This includes the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate locks, foreign exchange forward contracts and combined interest rate foreign exchange contracts (cross-currency swaps). We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value that is derived from observable market data, including yield curves and foreign exchange rates (all of our derivatives are Level 2). Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are presented in the same category on the consolidated statements of cash flows as the item being hedged.
Fair Value Hedging Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. The purpose of these swaps is to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for floating interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount.
We also designate most of our cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts as fair value hedges. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign denominated debt. For cross-currency hedges, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the swap related to both time value and cross-currency basis spread from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. For foreign exchange contracts, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Unrealized and realized gains or losses from fair value hedges impact the same category on the consolidated statements of income as the item being hedged, including the earnings impact of excluded components. In instances where we have elected to exclude components from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to fair value hedges, unrealized gains or losses on such excluded components are recorded as a component of accumulated OCI and recognized into earnings over the life of the hedging instrument. Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recorded at fair value as assets, and unrealized losses are recorded at fair market value as liabilities. Except for excluded components, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities through earnings. In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no ineffectiveness was measured on fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedging We designate some of our cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk generated from our foreign-denominated debt. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal from fixed foreign denominated amounts to fixed U.S. dollar denominated amounts, to be exchanged at a specified rate that is usually determined by the market spot rate upon issuance. They also include an interest rate swap of a fixed or floating foreign denominated interest rate to a fixed U.S. dollar denominated interest rate.

AT&T INC.
JUNE 30, 2025
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - Continued
Dollars in millions except per share amounts
Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as assets and unrealized losses are recorded at fair value as liabilities. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are reported as a component of accumulated OCI and are reclassified into the consolidated statements of income in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Periodically, we enter into and designate interest rate locks to partially hedge the risk of changes in interest payments attributable to increases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. We designate our interest rate locks as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses when we settle our interest rate locks are amortized into income over the life of the related debt. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $59 from accumulated OCI to “Interest expense” due to the amortization of net losses on historical interest rate locks.
Collateral and Credit-RiskContingency We have entered into agreements with our derivative counterparties establishing collateral thresholds based on respective credit ratings and netting agreements. At June 30, 2025, we had posted collateral of $355 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $404 (a receipt liability). Under the agreements, if AT&T’s credit rating had been downgraded two ratings levels by Fitch Ratings, one level by S&P and one level by Moody’s before the final collateral exchange in June, we would have been required to post additional collateral of $50. If AT&T’s credit rating had been downgraded three ratings levels by Fitch Ratings, two levels by S&P and two levels by Moody’s, we would have been required to post additional collateral of $1,312. At December 31, 2024, we had posted collateral of $188 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $0 (a receipt liability). We do not offset the fair value of collateral, whether the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) exists, against the fair value of the derivative instruments.

Equipment Installment Receivables Program
We offer our customers the option to purchase certain wireless devices in installments over a specified period of time and, in many cases, once certain conditions are met, they may be eligible to trade in the original equipment for a new device and have the remaining unpaid balance paid or settled.
We maintain a program under which we transfer a portion of these receivables through our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary in exchange for cash and beneficial interests. In the event a customer trades in a device prior to the end of the installment contract period, we agree to make a payment to the financial institutions equal to any outstanding remaining installment receivable balance. Accordingly, we record a guarantee obligation for this estimated amount at the time the receivables are transferred.
The following table sets forth a summary of equipment installment receivables sold under this program:

Beneficial interests, when applicable, and guarantee obligations are initially recorded at estimated fair value and subsequently adjusted for changes in present value of expected cash flows. The estimation of their fair values is based on remaining installment payments expected to be collected and the expected timing and value of device trade-ins. The estimated value of the device trade-ins considers prices offered to us by independent third parties and contemplates changes in value after the launch of a device model. The fair value measurements used for the beneficial interests and the guarantee obligation are considered Level 3 under the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework (see Note 7).

Revolving Receivables Program
During 2025, we expanded our revolving agreement to transfer up to $2,940 of certain receivables through our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries to various financial institutions on a recurring basis in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables transferred. This agreement is subject to renewal on an annual basis and the transfer limit may be expanded or reduced from time to time. As customers pay their balances, we transfer additional receivables into the program, resulting in our gross receivables sold exceeding net cash flow impacts (e.g., collect and reinvest). The transferred receivables are fully guaranteed by our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries, which hold additional receivables in the amount of $234 that are pledged as collateral under this agreement. The transfers are recorded at fair value of the proceeds received and obligations assumed less derecognized receivables. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these receivables transferred is limited to the derecognized amount outstanding.

NOTE 9. TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTV
We account for our investment in DIRECTV under the equity method and record our share of DIRECTV earnings as equity in net income of affiliates, with DIRECTV considered a related party. On September 29, 2024, we agreed to sell our interest in DIRECTV to TPG Capital (TPG) for approximately $7,600 in cash payments.
Beginning in third-quarter 2024, our investment in DIRECTV was reduced to zero on our consolidated balance sheet, resulting from aggregate cash receipts exceeding our initial investment balance plus our cumulative equity in DIRECTV earnings. As we are not committed, implicitly or explicitly, to provide financial or other support to DIRECTV, we record cash distributions

At June 30, 2025, we had accounts receivable from DIRECTV of $205 and accounts payable to DIRECTV of $50.
On July 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our interest in DIRECTV to TPG. Upon close, we will record a current note receivable of approximately $3,600, which we expect to receive the majority of by the end of 2025, and a long-term receivable of $500. We expect to record a significant gain on the sale, whose amount will be dependent on transition service agreements, indemnifications and other tax items.
NOTE 10. SUPPLIER AND VENDOR FINANCING PROGRAMS
Supplier Financing Program
We actively manage the timing of our supplier payments for operating items to optimize the use of our cash and seek to make payments on 90-day or greater terms, while providing suppliers with access to bank facilities that permit earlier payment at their cost. Our supplier financing program does not result in changes to our normal, contracted payment cycles or cash from operations.
At the supplier’s election, they can receive payment of AT&T obligations prior to the scheduled due dates, at a discounted price from the third-party financial institution. The discounted price paid to participating suppliers is based on a variable rate that is indexed to the overnight borrowing rate. We agree to pay the financial institution the stated amount generally within 90 days of receipt of the invoice. We do not have pledged assets or other guarantees under our supplier financing program.
Suppliers had elected to sell to the third-party financial institutions $3,461 and $2,498 of our outstanding payment obligations as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our supplier financing programs are reported as operating or investing (when capitalizable) activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows when paid.
Direct Supplier Financing
We also have arrangements with suppliers of handset inventory that allow us to extend the stated payment terms by up to 90 days at an additional cost to us (variable rate extension fee). We had $4,235 of direct supplier financing outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and $6,272 as of December 31, 2024, which are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our direct supplier financing is reported as operating activities in our statements of cash flows when paid.
Vendor Financing
We enter into multi-year software licensing arrangements, which, consistent with industry standards, are paid over the license terms of two to five years. Additionally, in connection with capital improvements and the acquisition of other productive assets, we negotiate favorable payment terms of 120 days or more. We refer to these arrangements as vendor financing, with the

balances and activities including equipment and software arrangements. Vendor financing payments are reported as financing activities in our statements of cash flows when paid. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded vendor financing commitments of $831 and $523, respectively. We had $1,916 of vendor financing payables at June 30, 2025, with $1,193 included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and $1,448 of vendor financing payables at December 31, 2024, with $749 included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.”

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting higher Mobility and Consumer Wireline revenues, partially offset by declines in Business Wireline and Mexico, which included unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.
Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher Mobility equipment costs resulting from increased wireless equipment sales volumes and higher network-related costs. These increases were partially offset by expense declines from our continued transformation efforts and higher restructuring charges in the prior year. Also contributing to decreases for the first six months was the absence of expenses from our cybersecurity business that was contributed to a new cybersecurity joint venture, LevelBlue, in the second quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades, partially offset by lower depreciation impacts from our Open RAN network modernization efforts.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our operating income margin in the second quarter increased from 19.3% in 2024 to 21.1% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 19.4% in 2024 to 19.9% in 2025.
Interest expense decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to lower debt balances, partially offset by lower capitalized interest associated with spectrum acquisitions.
Equity in net income of affiliates increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. The increases reflect cash distributions received by AT&T in excess of the carrying amount of our investment in DIRECTV (see Note 9). We sold our interest in DIRECTV to TPG Capital on July 2, 2025.

AT&T INC.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Continued
Dollars in millions except per share amounts
Other income (expense) – net increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. The increases were primarily due to a second-quarter 2025 gain on prior disposition, and for the first six months, first-quarter 2024 noncash impairment charges for a held-for-sale business and our SKY Mexico equity investment. Partially offsetting the increases were lower pension and postretirement benefit credits and lower returns on other benefit-related investments for the six-month period.
Other income (expense) - net in the third quarter of 2025, will include a gain recognized on our sale of DIRECTV, which we expect to be in the range of $5,500, dependent on transition service agreements, indemnifications and other tax items (see Note 9).
Income tax expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher income before income tax.
Our effective tax rate was 20.3% in the second quarter and 21.0% for the first six months of 2025, versus 22.4% and 22.7% in the comparable periods in the prior year, reflecting larger discrete state tax benefits in 2025.
Segment Results Our segments are comprised of strategic business units or other operations that offer products and services to different customer segments over various technology platforms and/or in different geographies that are managed accordingly. We evaluate segment performance based on operating income as well as EBITDA and/or EBITDA margin. See “Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA margin to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by increases in our Mobility and Consumer Wireline business units, partially offset by declines in our Business Wireline business unit, which reflects lower demand for legacy services. Also offsetting revenue increases for the first six months was the absence of revenues from our cybersecurity business that was contributed to a new cybersecurity joint venture, LevelBlue, in the second quarter of 2024.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Communications segment operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 24.5% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 23.9% in 2024 to 23.7% in 2025.

1Excludes migrations between wireless subscriber categories, including connected devices, and acquisition-related activity during the period.
2In addition to postpaid phones, includes tablets and wearables and other. Tablet net adds (losses) were 63 and 64 for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and 59 and 52 for the first six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Wearables and other net adds (losses) were 15 and 110 for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and (15) and 162 for the first six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
3Calculated by dividing the aggregate number of wireless subscribers who canceled service during a month by the total number of wireless subscribers at the beginning of that month. The churn rate for the period is equal to the average of the churn rate for each month of that period.
Service revenue increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, largely due to postpaid phone average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) growth and subscriber gains.
ARPU
ARPU increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting pricing actions and customers migrating to higher priced plans.
Churn
The effective management of subscriber churn is critical to our ability to maximize revenue growth and to maintain and improve margins. Postpaid churn and postpaid phone-only churn were higher in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by a normalization of customers reaching the end of their equipment promotional plans and increased competition.
Equipment revenue increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by higher wireless device sales volumes.
Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher equipment costs driven by higher wireless sales volumes. The increase also reflected higher advertising due to the launch of a new campaign in the first quarter, promotion costs and network costs.
Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion, partially offset by lower depreciation impacts from our network modernization efforts.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Mobility operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 32.8% in 2024 to 31.7% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 32.1% in 2024 to 31.5% in 2025. Our Mobility EBITDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 44.9% in 2024 to 43.4% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 44.2% in 2024 to 43.2% in 2025, driven by the increase in low margin equipment revenues.

Legacy and other transitional services revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by lower demand for legacy and VPN services, which we expect to continue. Revenue declines for the first six months also reflect the absence of revenues from our cybersecurity business that was contributed to LevelBlue in the second quarter of 2024. These revenue declines were partially offset by targeted pricing actions in the first quarter of 2025.
Fiber and advanced connectivity services revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by higher fiber and fixed wireless revenues.
Equipment revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025.
Operations and support expenses decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by lower personnel and customer support costs associated with ongoing transformation initiatives and lower network-related costs. Decreases for the first six months were also driven by the contribution of our cybersecurity business. As part of our transformation activities, we expect operations and support expense improvements through the remainder of 2025 as we further right size our operations in alignment with the strategic direction of the business.
Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital investment for strategic initiatives such as fiber, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2025.
Operating income decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Business Wireline operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 2.1% in 2024 to (4.7)% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 1.7% in 2024 to (3.4)% in 2025. Our Business Wireline EBITDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 31.3% in 2024 to 30.6% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 30.1% in 2024 to 31.0% in 2025.

2Excludes the impact of subscriber disconnections resulting from the termination of AIA services in areas with unfavorable regulatory requirements in the first quarter of 2025.
Broadband revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by increases in fiber revenues of 18.9% and 19.0%. Higher fiber revenues reflect an increase in fiber customers, which we expect to continue as we invest further in building our fiber footprint, and higher ARPU. This increase was partially offset by declines in copper-based broadband services.
Legacy voice and data services revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in demand for these services in favor of other technologies, such as wireless and fiber services.
Other service and equipment revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in the number of VoIP customers.
Operations and support expenses were flat in the second quarter and decreased for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by lower customer support and content licensing costs, largely offset by higher network-related costs and higher marketing costs.

Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades and expansion, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2025.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Consumer Wireline operating income margin in the second quarter increased from 5.5% in 2024 to 9.5% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 5.9% in 2024 to 9.7% in 2025. Our Consumer Wireline EBITDA margin in the second quarter increased from 32.8% in 2024 to 36.5% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 32.7% in 2024 to 36.7% in 2025.

COMPETITIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Overview AT&T subsidiaries operating within the United States are subject to federal and state regulations. AT&T subsidiaries operating outside the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulations in the markets where service is provided. Complying with these regulations may affect our results of operations and cash flow, and compliance may be very costly.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We do not anticipate the legislation to materially impact our income tax expense, but expect that it will have a material impact on cash taxes paid.
For further discussion of regulations impacting AT&T and its subsidiaries, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Regulatory Landscape” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024.

We had $10,499 in cash and cash equivalents available at June 30, 2025, increasing $7,201 since December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents included cash of $2,795 and money market funds and other cash equivalents of $7,704. Approximately $1,376 of our cash and cash equivalents were held in accounts outside of the U.S. and may be subject to restrictions on repatriation.
For the first six months of 2025, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations, including cash from our sale and transfer of our receivables to third parties, and distributions from DIRECTV. These inflows exceeded cash used to meet the needs of the business, including, but not limited to, payment of operating expenses, including higher device payments from higher sales volumes. The cash generatedfrom operating activities was primarily used to fund capital improvements, make dividend payments to stockholders, repurchase preferred and common stock, and repay long-term debt. We maintain availability under our credit facilities and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $18,812, compared to $16,640 for the first six months of 2024, with increases resulting from higher cash flows related to DIRECTV, including a first-quarter 2025 dividend of $1,138, and operational growth.

We actively manage the timing of our supplier payments for operating items to optimize the use of our cash. Among other things, we seek to make payments on 90-day or greater terms, while providing the suppliers with access to bank facilities that permit earlier payments at their cost (referred to as supplier financing program). In addition, for payments to suppliers of handset inventory, as part of our working capital initiatives, we have arrangements that allow us to extend the stated payment terms by up to 90 days at an additional cost to us (referred to as direct supplier financing). The net impact of direct supplier financing, including principal and interest payments, was to decrease cash from operating activities approximately $2,146 and $2,120 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All supplier financing payments are due within one year. (See Note 10)
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the first six months of 2025, cash used in investing activities totaled $11,044 and consisted primarily of $9,174 (including interest during construction) for capital expenditures. During the first six months of 2025, investing activities also included $38 of FirstNet sustainability payments net of reinvestment, and $620 for our investment in a new strategic partner related to wireline network transformation accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
We enter into multi-year software licensing arrangements, which are typically paid over the license terms of two to five years and referred to as vendor financing. Additionally, for capital improvements, we have negotiated favorable vendor payment terms of 120 days or more with some of our vendors, which are also referred to as vendor financing. Vendor financing is excluded from capital expenditures and reported as financing activities. For the first six months of 2025, vendor financing payments were $423, compared to $1,391 for the first six months of 2024. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2025 were $9,174, and when including $423 cash paid for vendor financing, capital investment was $9,597 ($88 higher than the prior-year comparable period).
The vast majority of our capital expenditures are spent on our networks, including product development and related support systems. During the first six months of 2025, we placed $831 of productive assets in service under vendor financing arrangements (compared to $523 in the prior-year comparable period). The amount of capital expenditures is influenced by demand for services and products, capacity needs and network enhancements.
On July 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our interest in DIRECTV to TPG. Upon close, we will record a current note receivable of approximately $3,600, which we expect to receive the majority of by the end of 2025, and a long-term note receivable of $500.
Cash Provided by or Used in Financing Activities
For the first six months of 2025, cash used in financing activities totaled $598 and was primarily comprised of dividend payments, preferred and common stock repurchases, debt repayments and vendor financing payments, offset by issuances of long-term debt and preferred interests.

Dollars in millions except per share amounts
At June 30, 2025, we had $9,254 of long-term debt maturing within one year. We had no outstanding commercial paper or other short-term borrowings on June 30, 2025.
For the first six months of 2025, we paid $423 of cash under our vendor financing program, compared to $1,391 in the prior-year comparable period. Total vendor financing payables included in our June 30, 2025 consolidated balance sheet were $1,916, with $1,193 due within one year (in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”) and the remainder predominantly due within five years (in “Other noncurrent liabilities”).
During the first six months of 2025, we repurchased approximately 34 million shares totaling $958 under our $10,000 common stock repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in December 2024, excluding brokerage fees and the one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. At June 30, 2025, we had approximately $9,042 remaining under this repurchase authorization.
We paid dividends on common and preferred shares of $4,135 during the first six months of 2025, compared with $4,133 for the first six months of 2024.
Dividends on common stock declared by our Board of Directors totaled $0.5550 per share in the first six months of 2025 and 2024. Our dividend policy considers the expectations and requirements of stockholders, capital funding requirements of AT&T and long-term growth opportunities.
Financing activities in the first six months of 2025 also included the issuance of $2,250 of nonconvertible cumulative preferred interests in Telco LLC, with the funds used to redeem all outstanding Series B preferred stock for $2,075 (see Note 11). We also received approximately $850 in upfront cash proceeds from a structured sale-leaseback of real estate.
Credit Facilities
The following summary of our various credit and loan agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each agreement filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use credit facilities as a tool in managing our liquidity status. We currently have one $12,000 revolving credit agreement that terminates on November 18, 2029 (Revolving Credit Agreement). No amount was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.
We also utilize other external financing sources, which include various credit arrangements supported by government agencies to support network equipment purchases as well as a commercial paper program.
Our Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that are customary for an issuer with investment grade senior debt credit rating as well as a net debt-to-EBITDA financial ratio covenant requiring AT&T to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of not more than 3.75-to-1. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants for our credit facilities.
Collateral Arrangements
Most of our counterparty collateral arrangements require cash collateral posting by AT&T only when derivative market values exceed certain thresholds. Under these arrangements, which cover the majority of our approximate $36,499 derivative portfolio, counterparties are still required to post collateral. During the first six months of 2025, we received $237 of cash collateral, on a net basis. Cash postings under these arrangements vary with changes in credit ratings and netting agreements. (See Note 7)
Other
Our total capital consists of debt (long-term debt and debt maturing within one year), redeemable noncontrolling interest and stockholders’ equity. Our capital structure does not include debt issued by our equity method investments. At June 30, 2025, our debt ratio was 51.7%, compared to 51.8% at June 30, 2024 and 50.7% at December 31, 2024. The debt ratio is affected by the same factors that affect total capital, and reflects our recent debt issuances, repayments and reclassifications related to redemption of noncontrolling interests.

DISCUSSION AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
We also evaluate segment and business unit performance based on EBITDA, which is defined as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, and/or EBITDA margin, which is defined as EBITDA divided by total revenue. EBITDA is used as part of our management reporting, and we believe EBITDA to be a relevant and useful measurement to our investors as it measures the cash generation potential of our business units. EBITDA does not give effect to depreciation and amortization expenses incurred in operating income nor is it burdened by cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we have defined them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
At June 30, 2025, we had no interest rate swaps.
We have fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps on foreign currency-denominated debt instruments with a U.S. dollar notional value of $36,499 to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These derivatives have been designated as fair value hedges with a net fair value of $(890) at June 30, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant is recorded, processed, summarized, accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Information set forth in this report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially. Many of these factors are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section herein and in our most recent Form 10-K. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The following factors could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:
•Adverse economic and political changes, public health emergencies and our ability to access financial markets on favorable terms.
•Increases in our benefit plans’ costs, including due to worse-than-assumed investment returns and discount rates, mortality assumptions, medical cost trends, or healthcare laws or regulations.
•The final outcome of FCC and other federal, state or foreign government agency proceedings (including judicial review of such proceedings) and legislative and regulatory efforts involving issues important to our business, including, without limitation, pending Notices of Apparent Liability; the transition from legacy technologies to IP-based infrastructure, including the withdrawal of legacy TDM-based services; universal service; broadband deployment; wireless equipment siting regulations; E911 services; rules concerning digital discrimination; competition policy; privacy; net neutrality; copyright protection; availability of new spectrum on fair and reasonable terms; and wireless and satellite license awards and renewals, and our response to such legislative and regulatory efforts.
•Enactment of or changes to state, local, federal and/or foreign tax laws and regulations, and actions by tax agencies and judicial authorities, and the resolution of disputes with any taxing jurisdictions, pertaining to our subsidiaries and foreign investments.
•U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding intellectual property rights protection and privacy, personal data protection and user consent, which are rapidly evolving.
•Our ability to compete in an increasingly competitive industry and against competitors that can offer product/service offerings at lower prices due to lower cost structures and regulatory and legislative actions adverse to us, including non-regulation of comparable alternative technologies and/or government-owned or subsidized networks, and our response to such competition and emerging technologies.
•Disruptions in our supply chain that have a material impact on our ability to acquire needed goods and services.
•The development and delivery of attractive and profitable wireless and broadband offerings and devices, including our ability to match speeds offered by competitors; and the availability, cost and/or reliability of technologies required to provide such offerings.
•Our ability to adequately fund additional wireless spectrum and network development, deployment and maintenance; and regulations and conditions relating to spectrum use, licensing, obtaining additional spectrum, technical standards and deployment and usage, including network management rules.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 various risks that may materially affect our business. We use this section to update this discussion to reflect material developments since our Form 10-K was filed.
We may not realize or sustain the expected benefits from our business transformation initiatives, and these efforts could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations and competitive position.
We have been and will be undertaking certain transformation initiatives, which are designed to reduce costs, enable legacy rationalization, streamline and modernize distribution and customer service, remove redundancies and simplify and improve processes and support functions. Our focus is on supporting added customer value with an improved customer experience. We intend for these efficiencies to enable increased investments in our strategic areas of focus, which include improving broadband connectivity (for example, fiber and 5G). We also expect these initiatives to drive efficiencies and improved margins. If we do not successfully manage and timely execute these initiatives and investments, which may include acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions, or if they are inadequate or ineffective, we may fail to meet our financial goals and achieve anticipated benefits, improvements may be delayed, not sustained or not realized, and our business, operations and competitive position could be adversely affected. In addition, any such transaction entails certain risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges. Further, we are using and intend to further use artificial intelligence (AI)-driven efficiencies in our network design and operations, software development, sales, marketing, customer support services and general and administrative costs. The models used in those products, particularly generative AI models, may produce output or take action that is incorrect, release private or confidential information, reflect biases included in the data on which they are trained, infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or be otherwise harmful. Any of these risks could expose us to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences and harm our reputation and the public perception of our business or the effectiveness of our security measures.
