AT&T Announces Third-Quarter 2005 Earnings

22 October 2005

AT&T today reported net income of $520 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.64,
for the third quarter of 2005. This result includes a previously announced pretax charge of $92 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, related to the company's aircraft lease investments. AT&T's current-quarter net income compares to a net loss of $7.1 billion, or a loss per share of $8.99, in the third quarter of 2004, which included a pretax asset impairment charge of $11.4 billion, or $8.86 per share, and pretax restructuring and other charges of $1.1 billion, or $0.84 per share. Third quarter of 2004 also included a pretax charge of $46 million, or $0.04 per share, related to the company's aircraft lease investments.
"AT&T's solid third quarter results demonstrate the successful execution of our strategies across both our consumer and business portfolios," said AT&T Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David W. Dorman. "We've expanded our margins in the consumer and small business markets as we wind down these businesses, and our enterprise portfolio has benefited from significant cost structure improvement, revenue and volume growth in IP and enhanced services and share expansion in other product lines."
AT&T reported third-quarter 2005 consolidated revenue of $6.6 billion, which includes $5.1 billion from AT&T Business and $1.5 billion from AT&T Consumer. Consolidated revenue declined 13.3 percent versus th third quarter of 2004, primarily due to continued declines in long distance (LD) voice and data revenue.
The company reported consolidated operating income of $1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2005, for a margin of 14.4 percent. This compares to a consolidated operating loss of $11.3 billion in the prior-year third quarter. Excluding asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges of $12.5 billion, operating income in the third quarter of 2004 was $1.1 billion, for an operating margin of 15.0 percent. The company noted that ongoing efforts to reduce costs and improve productivity have helped reduce the rate of operating income decline, notwithstanding the ongoing revenue declines.

AT&T UNIT HIGHLIGHTS

AT&T Business

* Revenue was $5.1 billion, a decline of 9.5 percent from the prior-year
third quarter, primarily driven by ongoing pricing pressure in
traditional voice and data services and volume weakness in data
services. Continued year-over-year growth in IP&E services favorably
impacted revenue.
* Long distance voice revenue decreased 12.7 percent from the prior-year
third quarter. Ongoing pricing pressure led to revenue declines,
despite an approximate 10 percent increase in volumes, as growth in
wholesale more than offset the decline in retail volumes.

* Data revenue declined 11.1 percent from the prior-year third quarter as
a result of continued pricing pressure and lower volumes, including the
impact of technology migration. Data revenue was also negatively
impacted by approximately 1.5 percentage points due to higher customer
disconnects of prepaid network capacity in the prior-year third quarter.

* Local voice revenue declined 19.7 percent from the prior-year third
quarter, reflecting lower payphone-related revenue as a result of the
sale of the company's National Public Markets business. The decline
also reflects the company's ongoing strategy of selectively approaching
the small business market, placing a greater focus on profitability than
overall market share.

* IP&E-services revenue increased 7.3 percent over the prior-year third
quarter, led by growth in next-generation networking services such as
Enhanced Virtual Private Network (E-VPN) and IP-enabled frame relay
services, partially offset by declines in mature products such as
Managed Internet Access and Virtual Private Networks.

* Operating income totaled $513 million for the third quarter of 2005,
yielding an operating margin of 10.0 percent. This compares to an
operating loss of $11.1 billion in the prior-year third quarter.
Excluding asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges of
$11.9 billion, operating income in the third quarter of 2004 was $764
million, for an operating margin of 13.5 percent. The decline in
operating income in the third quarter of 2005 reflects decreased long
distance voice and data services revenue, partially offset by a
reduction in operating expenses due to cost controls.

* Capital expenditures were $344 million as AT&T Business continues to
upgrade its network and integrate its systems to further rationalize the
company's cost structure, improve the customer experience and support
growth in next-generation products and services.

* During the quarter, a number of sizable customer wins and contract
extensions were signed with such leading companies as Wal-Mart, Northrop
Grumman Corporation, Sony Electronics, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and
Panasonic, among many others.

* In addition to numerous other industry accolades received during the
quarter, AT&T received the Frost & Sullivan Award for "Product Line
Strategy" in managed telecom services, recognizing the company's
comprehensive suite of managed services for enterprise customers.
Additionally, AT&T received the Frost & Sullivan Award for "Ethernet
Market Leadership."

AT&T Consumer

* Revenue was $1.5 billion, a decline of 24.3 percent versus the prior-
year third quarter, largely driven by a decline in standalone long
distance revenue due to volume declines associated with competitive
customer losses and the continued impact of wireless and Internet
substitution, partially offset by targeted price increases. In addition,
the revenue decline was impacted by decreased bundled revenue.

* Operating income totaled $541 million, yielding an operating margin of
36.1 percent. This compares to operating income of $281 million in the
prior-year third quarter. Excluding asset impairment and net
restructuring and other charges of $188 million, operating income in the
third quarter of 2004 was $469 million, for an operating margin of 23.7
percent.

* The year-over-year increase in operating income and margin reflects a
substantial decrease in operating expenses, primarily attributable to
the strategic decision to discontinue marketing to residential local and
standalone long distance customers.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

* Given the trends experienced throughout the first three quarters of
2005, AT&T now expects consolidated revenue for the full year to be at
or above $26.5 billion, approximately $500 million above the high-end of
the revenue guidance range set at the beginning of the year. The company
also expects its consolidated operating margin percentage for 2005,
excluding restructuring and merger-related transaction costs, to be in
the low teens, outpacing prior expectations.

* The following items were included in the third quarter results:

-- a previously mentioned pretax charge of $92 million, or $0.06 per
diluted share, in the third quarter of 2005 and a pretax charge of
$46 million, of $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of
2004, related to the company's investment in aircraft leveraged
leases;

-- transaction costs of $20 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in
the third quarter of 2005, related to AT&T's pending merger with
SBC Communications, which we expect to close by the end of 2005;
and

-- a $41 million pretax benefit, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the
third quarter of 2005, from insurance proceeds related to business
losses sustained during 2001.

* Free cash flow was $1.0 billion for the quarter. Free cash flow is
defined as cash flows provided by operating activities of $1.4 billion
less cash used for capital expenditures and other additions of $0.4
billion.

* AT&T ended the quarter with net debt of $4.7 billion. Net debt is
defined as total debt of $7.7 billion less cash of $2.8 billion and net
foreign debt fluctuations of $0.1 billion.

* Consolidated capital expenditures for the quarter were $349 million.

$542 million, $533 million, $538 million and $527 million,
respectively, for AT&T Business and $6 million, $7 million, $8 million
and $10 million, respectively, for AT&T Consumer. In addition, as a
result of the transport service arrangement between AT&T Business and
AT&T Consumer, network-related charges from AT&T Business (recorded as
contra-expense) to AT&T Consumer were reduced by $29 million, $24
million, $30 million and $28 million in the second-quarter 2005,
first-quarter 2005, fourth-quarter 2004 and third-quarter 2004,
respectively, as a result of the lower depreciation and amortization
expense recorded by AT&T Business. This resulted in a reduction in
AT&T Business' operating income and an increase in AT&T Consumer's
operating income.

(6) Includes $553M prepaid card accrual in 4Q04.
