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, 2022. 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.

All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Investments in subsidiaries and partnerships which we do not control but have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Earnings from certain investments accounted for using the equity method are included in our results on a one quarter lag. We also record our proportionate share of our equity method investees’ other comprehensive income (OCI) items, including translation adjustments.

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. Unless otherwise noted, the information in Notes 1 through 12 refer only to our continuing operations and do not include discussion of balances or activity of WarnerMedia, Vrio, Xandr and Playdemic Ltd., which were part of discontinued operations.

Accounting Policies, Adopted and Pending Accounting Standards and Other Changes

Supplier Finance Obligations As of January 1, 2023, we adopted, with retrospective application, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-04, “Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” (ASU 2022-04), which establishes interim and annual reporting disclosure requirements about a company’s supplier finance programs for its purchase of goods and services. Interim and annual requirements include disclosure of outstanding amounts under the obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and annual requirements include a rollforward of those obligations for the annual reporting period, as well as a description of payment and other key terms of the programs. The annual rollforward requirement becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with prospective application. In the year of adoption, the disclosure of payment and other key terms under the programs and outstanding balances under the obligations also applies to interim reporting dates.

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.

We also evaluate segment and business unit performance based on EBITDA and/or EBITDA margin, which is defined as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization. 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. EBITDA margin is EBITDA divided by total revenue.

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

Effective for the first quarter of 2023, we stopped recording prior service credits to our individual business units or the corresponding charge to Corporate and Other, and segment operating expenses were recast to remove prior service credits from our historical reporting. Prior service credits are, and will continue to be, recorded as other income in our consolidated income statement in accordance with GAAP. This recast increased Communications segment operations and support expenses by approximately $2,400 for full-year 2022. Correspondingly, this recast lowered administrative expenses within Corporate and Other, with no change on a consolidated basis.

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 bundled 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, IP Voice and managed professional services, as well as traditional voice and data services and related equipment to business customers.

•Consumer Wireline provides broadband services, including fiber connections that provide our multi-gig services 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 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 other items for which the segments are not being evaluated.

“Interest expense” and “Other income (expense) – net” are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results.

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:


	June 30,		December 31,
Consolidated Balance Sheets	2023		2022
Contract asset	$	5,793	$	5,512
Current portion in “Prepaid and other current assets”	3,130		2,941
Contract liability	4,058		4,170
Current portion in “Advanced billings and customer deposits”	3,731		3,816

Our contract asset balances at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reflect increased promotional equipment sales in our wireless business.

Our beginning of period contract liability recorded as customer contract revenue during 2023 was $3,292.

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, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $36,156, of which we expect to recognize approximately 70% by the end of 2024, 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 2023.

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.

On April 26, 2023, AT&T and State Street Global Advisors Trust Company, as independent fiduciary of the AT&T Pension Benefit Plan (Plan), entered into a commitment agreement with subsidiaries of Athene Holding Ltd. (Athene) under which AT&T agreed to purchase nonparticipating single premium group annuity contracts that would transfer to Athene approximately $8,050 of the Plan’s defined benefit pension obligations related to certain retirees, participants and beneficiaries under the Plan.

The purchase of the group annuity contracts closed on May 3, 2023, covering approximately 96,000 AT&T participants and beneficiaries (Transferred Participants). Under the group annuity contracts, Athene, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Athene Annuity and Life Company and Athene Annuity & Life Assurance Company of New York, made an irrevocable commitment, and will be solely responsible, to pay the pension benefits of each Transferred Participant beginning with their August 2023 pension payments. The transaction does not change the amount of pension benefits payable to the Transferred Participants.

The purchase of the group annuity contracts was funded directly by assets of the Plan via the pension trust underlying the Plan and required no cash or asset contributions by AT&T. We transferred approximately $8,050 of pension benefit obligation and related plan assets upon close of the transaction and recognized a pre-tax pension settlement gain of $363. The funded status of the Plan did not materially change due to this transaction.

This transaction with Athene is considered a settlement for accounting purposes and requires us to remeasure our pension plan assets and obligations at each remaining quarter-end in 2023. The second quarter 2023 remeasurement resulted in the recognition of an actuarial loss of $289 in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023.

As part of our remeasurement, the weighted-average discount rate used to measure our pension benefit obligation was approximately 5.20% at June 30, 2023, a decrease of 5 basis points. The discount rates in effect for determining pension service and interest costs after our June 30 remeasurement are 5.20%. The remeasurement also reflects actual returns on pension plan assets of 4.10% (six-month rate) relative to our expected long-term rate of 7.50% (annual rate). Similar to 2023, in 2022 we were required to follow settlement accounting and remeasure our pension benefit plan assets and obligations at each remaining quarter end.

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, 2022.

Following is the fair value leveling for investment securities that are measured at fair value and derivatives as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Derivatives designated as hedging instruments are reflected as “Prepaid and other current assets,” “Other Assets,” “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities,” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets.

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. Investments in debt securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

The components comprising total gains and losses in the period on equity securities are as follows:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Total gains (losses) recognized on equity securities	$	82	$	(237)	$	165	$	(332)
Gains (losses) recognized on equity securities sold	(3)		(41)		1		(48)
Unrealized gains (losses) recognized on equity securities held at end of period	$	85	$	(196)	$	164	$	(284)

At June 30, 2023, available-for-sale debt securities totaling $1,214 have maturities as follows - less than one year: $74; one to three years: $160; three to five years: $157; five or more years: $823.

Our cash equivalents (money market securities), short-term investments (certificate and time deposits) and nonrefundable customer deposits are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values. Short-term investments and nonrefundable customer deposits 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, 2023 and 2022, no ineffectiveness was measured on fair value hedges.

AT&T INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - Continued

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

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.

On September 30, 2022, we de-designated most of our cross-currency swaps from cash flow hedges and re-designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The amount remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to cash flow hedges on the de-designation date was $1,857. The amount will be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item is recognized in earnings or when it becomes probable that the forecasted transactions will not occur. The election of fair value hedge designation for cross-currency swaps does not have an impact on our financial results.

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-Risk Contingency We have entered into agreements with our derivative counterparties establishing collateral thresholds based on respective credit ratings and netting agreements. At June 30, 2023, we had posted collateral of $709 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $0 (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 $52. 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 $4,704. At December 31, 2022, we had posted collateral of $886 (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.

NOTE 8. SALES OF RECEIVABLES

We have agreements with various third-party financial institutions pertaining to the sales of certain types of our accounts receivable. The most significant of these programs consists of receivables arising from equipment installment plans, which are sold for cash and a deferred purchase price. Under this program, we transfer receivables to purchasers in exchange for cash and additional consideration upon settlement of the receivables. Under the terms of our agreement for this program, we continue to service the transferred receivables on behalf of the financial institutions.

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 additional consideration upon settlement of the receivables, referred to as the deferred purchase price. 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 deferred purchase price and guarantee obligation 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 contemplate changes in value after the launch of a device model. The fair value measurements used for the deferred purchase price and the guarantee obligation are considered Level 3 under the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework (see Note 7).

The following table presents the previously transferred equipment installment receivables, which we repurchased in exchange for the associated deferred purchase price during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

NOTE 9. LEASES

We have operating and finance leases for certain facilities and equipment used in operations. Our leases generally have remaining lease terms of up to 15 years. Some of our operating leases (e.g., for towers and real estate) contain renewal options that may be exercised, and some of our leases include options to terminate the lease within one year.

We have recognized a right-of-use asset for both operating and finance leases and an operating lease liability that represents the present value of our obligation to make payments over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating and finance leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. We use the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjust that rate to approximate a collateralized rate in the currency of the lease, which will be updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease liabilities.

Our share of DIRECTV’s earnings included in equity in net income of affiliates was $911 and $1,037 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash distributions from DIRECTV for the first six months of 2023 totaled $1,885, with $911 classified as operating activities and $974 classified as investing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows versus total cash distributions of $2,675 ($1,037 operating and $1,638 investing) in the comparable prior period. Our investment in DIRECTV at June 30, 2023 was $1,946.

In February 2023, we repaid all outstanding notes payable to DIRECTV.

We provide DIRECTV with network transport for U-verse products and sales services under commercial arrangements for up to five years. Under separate transition services agreements, we provide DIRECTV certain operational support, including servicing of certain of their customer receivables for up to three years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we billed DIRECTV approximately $180 and $420 for these costs, which were recorded as a reduction to the operations and support expenses incurred and resulted in net retained costs to AT&T of $178 in the second quarter and $347 for the first six months of 2023.

At June 30, 2023, we had accounts receivable from DIRECTV of $252 and accounts payable to DIRECTV of $60.

We are not committed, implicitly or explicitly to provide financial or other support, other than as noted above, as our involvement with DIRECTV is limited to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities recognized on our balance sheet.

NOTE 11. 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 to the third-party financial institution. The discounted price paid by 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 $3,007 and $2,869 of our outstanding payment obligations as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 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 $3,539 of direct supplier financing outstanding at June 30, 2023 and $5,486 as of December 31, 2022, 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

In connection with capital improvements and the acquisition of other productive assets, we negotiate favorable payment terms of 120 days or more (referred to as vendor financing), which are reported as financing activities in our statements of cash flows when paid. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded vendor financing commitments related to capital investments of approximately $1,341 and $2,012, respectively. We had $3,587 vendor financing payables at June 30, 2023, with $2,177 included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and $6,147 vendor financing payables at December 31, 2022, with $4,592 included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.”

Preferred Interests Issued by Subsidiary

Telco LLC Preferred Interests In April 2023, we expanded our September 2020 sale of Telco LLC cumulative preferred interests and issued an additional $5,250 of nonconvertible cumulative preferred interests (Class A-2 and A-3, collectively the “April preferreds”). Cumulative preferred interests in our Telco LLC total $7,250, collectively the “Telco preferred interests,” and are included in “Noncontrolling interest” on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 16 to AT&T’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The April preferreds pay an initial preferred distribution of 6.85% annually, subject to declaration and subject to reset on November 1, 2027, and every seven years thereafter. We can call the Telco preferred interests at the issue price beginning September 29, 2027. The holders of the Telco preferred interests have the option to require redemption upon the occurrence of certain contingent events, such as the failure of Telco LLC to pay the preferred distribution for two or more periods or to meet certain other requirements, including a minimum credit rating. If notice is given, all other holders of equal or more subordinate classes of members’ equity are entitled to receive the same form of consideration payable to the holders of the Telco preferred interests, resulting in a deemed liquidation for accounting purposes.

Mobility II Preferred Interests In April 2023, we accepted the December 2022 put option notice from the AT&T pension trust and repurchased the remaining 213 million Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests in AT&T Mobility II LLC (Mobility preferred interests) for a purchase price, including accrued and unpaid distributions, of $5,414. The Mobility preferred interests had a redemption value of $5,320, with approximately $2,650 removed from “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and $2,670 removed from “Other noncurrent liabilities.” The repurchase was funded with proceeds from the April preferreds.

Mobility II Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests In June 2023, we issued two million Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests in Mobility II LLC (Mobility noncontrolling interests), which pay cash distributions of 6.8% per annum, subject to declaration. So long as the distributions are declared and paid, the terms of the Mobility noncontrolling

interests will not impose any limitations on cash movements between affiliates, or our ability to declare a dividend on or repurchase AT&T shares.

A holder of the Mobility noncontrolling interests may put the interests to Mobility II on or after the earliest of certain events or each June 15 and December 15, beginning on June 15, 2028. Mobility II may redeem the interests on each March 15 and September 15, beginning on March 15, 2028. The price at which a put option or a redemption option can be exercised is the sum of (a) $1,000 per Mobility noncontrolling interest plus (b) any accrued and unpaid distributions. The redemption price must be paid in cash.

The Mobility noncontrolling interests are required to be initially recorded at fair value less issuance costs and will accrete to redemption value of $2,000 through “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest.” The Mobility noncontrolling interests are considered Level 3 under the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures framework (see Note 7) and included in “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest” on the consolidated balance sheets.

OVERVIEW

AT&T Inc. is referred to as “we,” “AT&T” or the “Company” throughout this document. AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc., and the names of the particular subsidiaries and affiliates providing the services generally have been omitted. AT&T is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates operate worldwide in the telecommunications and technology industries. Unless otherwise noted, this discussion refers only to our continuing operations and does not include discussion of balances or activity of WarnerMedia, Vrio, Xandr and Playdemic Ltd., which were part of discontinued operations. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (Notes).

We have two reportable segments: Communications and Latin America. Our segment results presented in Note 4 and discussed below follow our internal management reporting. Percentage increases and decreases that are not considered meaningful are denoted with a dash.

The Communications segment provides services to businesses and consumers located in the U.S. and businesses globally. Our business strategies reflect bundled 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.

The Latin America segment provides wireless services and equipment in Mexico.

Effective for the first quarter of 2023, we stopped recording prior service credits to our individual business units or the corresponding charge to Corporate and Other, and segment operating expenses were recast to remove prior service credits from our historical reporting. Prior service credits are, and will continue to be, recorded as other income in our consolidated income statement in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This recast increased Communications segment operations and support expenses by approximately $2,400 for full-year 2022. Correspondingly, this recast lowered administrative expenses within Corporate and Other, with no change on a consolidated basis.

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, reflecting growth in Mobility, Mexico and Consumer Wireline revenues, partially offset by continued declines in Business Wireline revenues.

Operations and support expenses decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, reflecting prior year noncash impairment charges of approximately $600 million and benefits of our continued transformation efforts, partially offset by inflationary increases. In particular, operating expense declines were driven by lower domestic wireless equipment and associated selling costs from lower sales volumes, lower personnel costs and higher returns on benefit-related assets, partially offset by higher amortization of deferred customer acquisition costs. Expense decrease for the first six months was also driven by the absence of first-quarter 2022 3G network shutdown costs, partially offset by higher network and bad debt expenses in 2023.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023.

Depreciation expense increased $215, or 4.9%, in the second quarter and $376, or 4.3%, for the first six months of 2023 primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades.

Amortization expense increased $10, or 28.6%, in the second quarter and $18, or 25.7%, for the first six months of 2023 primarily due to the amortization of wireless licenses in Mexico offset by lower amortization of intangible assets from previous acquisitions.

Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023. Our operating income margin in the second quarter increased from 16.7% in 2022 to 21.4% in 2023, and for the first six months increased from 17.7% in 2022 to 20.7% in 2023, reflecting lower equipment revenues which have lower margins as well as cost savings from our continued transformation efforts.

Interest expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, primarily due to lower capitalized interest associated with spectrum acquisitions and higher interest rates, partially offset by lower average debt balances. Interest expense for the first six months of 2023 also includes the reclassification of Mobility preferred interests distributions, which were

repurchased on April 5, 2023 (see Note 12). Mobility preferred interest distributions were recorded as noncontrolling interest in 2022.

Equity in net income of affiliates decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, primarily due to the performance of our investment in DIRECTV (see Note 10). The decrease for the first six months was partially offset by our share of a gain on a sale-leaseback transaction by DIRECTV of approximately $100 in the first quarter of 2023.

Other income (expense) – net decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023. The decreases were primarily driven by actuarial remeasurement of pension plan assets and obligations, with a $74 net actuarial and settlement gain in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, compared to a $1,345 gain in the second quarter and $2,398 for the first six months of 2022 (see Note 6). Also contributing to the decrease were lower pension and postretirement benefit credits in 2023, primarily driven by higher interest costs from discount rate increases (see Note 6). Partially offsetting the decreases were higher returns on other benefit-related investments.

Income tax expense decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily driven by lower income before income tax and lower state income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 22.8% in the second quarter of 2023, versus 24.1% in the comparable period in the prior year.

The decrease for the first six months of 2023 was primarily due to lower income before income tax. Our effective tax rate was 22.8% for the first six months of 2023, versus 23.0% for the comparable period in the prior year.

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, driven by increases in our Mobility and Consumer Wireline business units, partially offset by decreases in our Business Wireline business unit. The increases are primarily driven by wireless service revenue growth and gains in broadband service. Business Wireline continues to reflect lower demand for legacy services and product simplification.

4Calculated 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 2023. The increases are largely due to growth from subscriber gains and postpaid average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) growth.

ARPU

ARPU increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023. ARPU during 2023 reflects pricing actions, improved international roaming and customers shifting to higher priced unlimited plans, partially offset by the impact of higher promotional discount amortization (see Note 5).

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 due to a return to pre-pandemic consumer behavior as well as pricing actions and the resulting increase in voluntary disconnects.

Equipment revenue decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, primarily driven by a lower volume of devices sold.

Operations and support expenses decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023 largely due to lower equipment costs driven by lower device sales and lower HBO Max licensing fees. These decreases were offset by higher amortization of deferred customer acquisition costs and increased network and customer support expenses. Expense decrease for the first six months was also driven by the absence of first-quarter 2022 3G network shutdown costs, partially offset by higher marketing and bad debt expenses.

Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion.

Service revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, driven by lower demand for legacy voice, data and network services along with product simplification, partially offset by growth in connectivity services. We expect these trends to continue.

Equipment revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, driven by declines in legacy and non-core services which we expect to continue.

Operations and support expenses decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, primarily due to our continued efforts to drive efficiencies in our network operations through automation, reductions in customer support expenses through digitization and proactive rationalization of low profit margin products. Expense declines were also driven by lower personnel costs associated with ongoing transformation initiatives, lower network access costs, which contained approximately $75 of benefit related to settlement of a dispute, and lower marketing expenses. The declines for the first six months were partially offset by favorable compensation true-ups in the first quarter of 2022. As part of our transformation activities, we expect operations and support expense improvements through the remainder of 2023 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 2023, primarily due to ongoing capital investment for strategic initiatives such as fiber.

Operating income decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023. Our Business Wireline operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 8.8% in 2022 to 7.5% in 2023 and for the first six months decreased from 10.0% in 2022 to 7.3% in 2023. Our Business Wireline EBITDA margin in the second quarter increased from 32.2% in 2022 to 32.8% in 2023 and for the first six months decreased from 33.3% in 2022 to 32.4% in 2023.

Operations and support expenses decreased in the second quarter and increased for the first six months of 2023. Expense decreases in the second quarter were primarily due to lower customer support costs, including approximately $35 of benefit from a vendor dispute resolution, and lower HBO Max licensing fees, partially offset by higher network and maintenance costs and higher amortization of deferred acquisition costs.

Expense increases for the first six months reflect higher network and maintenance costs and higher amortization of deferred acquisition costs, partially offset by lower sales and advertising costs, lower HBO Max licensing fees and favorable compensation true-ups in the first quarter of 2022.

Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2023, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades and expansion.

Operating income increased in the second quarter and decreased for the first six months of 2023. Our Consumer Wireline operating income margin in the second quarter increased from 4.6% in 2022 to 5.2% in 2023 and for the first six months decreased from 4.8% in 2022 to 4.0% in 2023. Our Consumer Wireline EBITDA margin in the second quarter increased from 29.3% in 2022 to 31.5% in 2023 and for the first six months increased from 29.3% in 2022 to 30.5% in 2023.

COMPETITIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

Overview AT&T subsidiaries operating within the United States are subject to federal and state regulatory authorities. AT&T subsidiaries operating outside the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulatory authorities in the markets where service is provided.

In the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Telecom Act), Congress established a national policy framework intended to bring the benefits of competition and investment in advanced telecommunications facilities and services to all Americans by opening all telecommunications markets to competition and reducing or eliminating regulatory burdens that harm consumer welfare. Nonetheless, over the ensuing two decades, the FCC and some state regulatory commissions have maintained or expanded certain regulatory requirements that were imposed decades ago on our traditional wireline subsidiaries when they operated as legal monopolies. More recently, the FCC has pursued a more deregulatory agenda, eliminating a variety of antiquated and unnecessary regulations and streamlining its processes in a number of areas. We continue to support regulatory and legislative measures and efforts, at both the state and federal levels, to reduce inappropriate regulatory burdens that inhibit our ability to compete effectively and offer needed services to our customers, including initiatives to transition services from traditional networks to all IP-based networks. At the same time, we also seek to ensure that legacy regulations are not further extended to broadband or wireless services, which are subject to vigorous competition.

Communications Segment

Internet The FCC currently classifies fixed and mobile consumer broadband services as information services, subject to light-touch regulation. The D.C. Circuit upheld the FCC’s current classification, although it remanded three discrete issues to the FCC for further consideration. These issues related to the effect of the FCC’s decision to classify broadband services as information services on public safety, the regulation of pole attachments, and universal service support for low-income consumers through the Lifeline program. Because no party sought Supreme Court review of the D.C. Circuit’s decision to uphold the FCC’s classification of broadband as an information service, that decision is final.

In October 2020, the FCC adopted an order addressing the three issues remanded by the D.C. Circuit for further consideration. After considering those issues, the FCC concluded they provided no grounds to depart from its determination that fixed and mobile consumer broadband services should be classified as information services. An appeal of the FCC’s remand decision is pending.

Some states have adopted legislation or issued executive orders, including California, that would reimpose net neutrality rules similar to those repealed by the FCC. The California statute is now in effect, and challenges regarding other states’ net neutrality laws are pending. We expect that going forward additional states may seek to impose net neutrality requirements.

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) into law. The legislation appropriates $65,000 to support broadband deployment and adoption, including $42,500 administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) in state grants for broadband deployment projects, $1,000 for middle mile broadband infrastructure, and $1,500 for digital equity programs. The IIJA also appropriated $14,200 for establishment of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), an FCC-administered monthly, low-income broadband benefit program. The ACP provides qualifying customers up to thirty dollars per month (or seventy-five dollars per month for those on Tribal lands) to assist with their internet bill. These funds are in addition to or replacements for other significant pandemic-related funds designated or that could be used for broadband deployment and subscription. AT&T is a participating provider in the ACP program and is participating in deployment programs where appropriate. Absent additional funding, at present pace the ACP fund will likely exhaust in 2024.

Privacy-related legislation continues to be adopted or considered in a number of jurisdictions, including at the federal level. Legislative, regulatory and litigation actions could result in increased costs of compliance, further regulation or claims against broadband internet access service providers and others, and increased uncertainty in the value and availability of data.

Wireless During 2020-2021, we deployed 5G nationwide on “low band” spectrum on macro towers. Executing on the recent spectrum purchase, we announced on-going construction and continuing deployment of 5G on C-band and 3.45 GHz spectrum in 2022 and beyond. Additional spectrum will be needed industrywide for 5G and future services. The federal government is developing a national spectrum strategy but its ability and intent to make sufficient spectrum available to the industry in needed timeframes remains uncertain.

We had $9,528 in cash and cash equivalents available at June 30, 2023, increasing $5,827 since December 31, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents included cash of $1,049 and money market funds and other cash equivalents of $8,479. Approximately $1,215 of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign entities in accounts predominantly outside of the U.S. and may be subject to restrictions on repatriation.

For the first six months of 2023, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations, including cash from our sale and transfer of our receivables to third parties, issuance of commercial paper, long-term debt and cumulative preferred interests in subsidiaries 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, funding capital expenditures and vendor financing payments, repayment of short-term borrowings and long-term debt, repurchase of the Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests in AT&T Mobility II LLC (Mobility preferred interests) and dividend payments to stockholders. We maintain availability under our credit facilities and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

During the first six months of 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $16,600, compared to $15,370 for the first six months of 2022, reflecting operational growth and a focus to lower working capital programs, which resulted in lower device payments partially offset by lower receivable sales, net of remittances (see Note 8).

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 was to decrease cash from operating activities $2,100 and $916 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. All direct supplier financing payments are due within one year. (See Note 11)

Cash Used in or Provided by Investing Activities from Continuing Operations

For the first six months of 2023, cash used in investing activities totaled $9,241 and consisted primarily of $8,605 (including interest during construction) for capital expenditures. During the first six months of 2023, we received a return of investment of $974 from DIRECTV representing distributions in excess of cumulative equity in earnings from DIRECTV (see Note 10). We expect to pay approximately $2,100 of spectrum clearing costs in the second half of 2023, which we report as “Acquisitions, net of cash acquired” on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

For capital improvements, we have negotiated favorable vendor payment terms of 120 days or more (referred to as vendor financing) with some of our vendors, which are excluded from capital expenditures and reported as financing activities. For the first six months of 2023, vendor financing payments were $3,756, compared to $3,337 for the first six months of 2022. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2023 were $8,605, and when including $3,756 cash paid for vendor financing, capital investment was $12,361 ($452 lower 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 2023, we placed $1,341 of equipment in service under vendor financing arrangements (compared to $2,012 in the prior-year comparable period). The amount of capital expenditures is influenced by demand for services and products, capacity needs and network enhancements.

Cash Provided by or Used in Financing Activities from Continuing Operations

For the first six months of 2023, cash used in financing activities totaled $1,530 and was comprised of debt issuances and repayments, issuances and repurchase of preferred interests in subsidiaries, payments of dividends and vendor financing payments.

A tabular summary of our debt activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:

The weighted average interest rate of our long-term debt portfolio, including credit agreement borrowings and the impact of derivatives, was approximately 4.1% as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022. We had $136,629 of total notes and debentures outstanding at June 30, 2023. This also included Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and Swiss franc denominated debt that totaled approximately $38,261.

At June 30, 2023, we had $15,268 of debt maturing within one year, consisting of $4,619 of commercial paper borrowings and $10,649 of long-term debt issuances. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 5.9% as of June 30, 2023 and 4.8% as of December 31, 2022.

For the first six months of 2023, we paid $3,756 of cash under our vendor financing program, compared to $3,337 in the prior-year comparable period. Total vendor financing payables included in our June 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheet were $3,587, with $2,177 due within one year (in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”) and the remainder predominantly due within five years (in “Other noncurrent liabilities”).

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

At June 30, 2023, we had approximately 144 million shares remaining from our share repurchase authorizations approved by the Board of Directors in 2014.

We paid dividends on common and preferred shares of $4,097 during the first six months of 2023, compared with $5,835 for the first six months of 2022.

Dividends on common stock declared by our Board of Directors totaled $0.5550 per share in the first six months of 2023 and 2022. Our dividend policy considers the expectations and requirements of stockholders, capital funding requirements of AT&T and long-term growth opportunities.

In April 2023, we expanded our September 2020 sale of Telco LLC cumulative preferred interests and issued an additional $5,250 of nonconvertible cumulative preferred interests (April preferreds). The April preferreds pay an initial preferred distribution of 6.85% annually, subject to declaration, and subject to reset on November 1, 2027, and every seven years thereafter. (See Note 12)

In April 2023, we also accepted the December 2022 put option notice from the AT&T pension trust and repurchased the remaining 213 million Mobility preferred interests for a purchase price, including accrued and unpaid distributions, of $5,414. The Mobility preferred interests had a redemption value of $5,320, with approximately $2,650 removed from “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and $2,670 removed from “Other noncurrent liabilities.” The repurchase was primarily funded with proceeds from the April 2023 issuances of Telco LLC preferred interests. (See Note 12)

In June 2023, we issued $2,000 of Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests in Mobility II LLC (Mobility noncontrolling interests), which pay cash distributions of 6.8% per annum, subject to declaration. The Mobility noncontrolling interests are included in “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest” on the consolidated balance sheets. (See Note 12)

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, 2027 (Revolving Credit Agreement). No amount was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2023.

In November 2022, we entered into and drew on a $2,500 term loan agreement due February 16, 2025 (2025 Term Loan), with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as agent. On March 30, 2023, the 2025 Term Loan was paid off and terminated.

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.

Each of our credit and loan agreements contains covenants that are customary for an issuer with an 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, 2023, 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 $43,400 derivative portfolio, counterparties are still required to post collateral. During the first six months of 2023, we received approximately $180 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, 2023, our debt ratio was 54.8%, compared to 50.1% at June 30, 2022 and 56.1% at December 31, 2022. 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At June 30, 2023, we had interest rate swaps with a notional value of $1,750 and a fair value of $(5).

We have fixed-to-fixed and floating-to-fixed cross-currency swaps on foreign currency-denominated debt instruments with a U.S. dollar notional value of $40,986 to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These derivatives have been designated as cash flow or fair value hedges with a net fair value of $(4,790) at June 30, 2023. We had no rate locks at June 30, 2023.

We have foreign exchange contracts with a U.S. dollar notional value of $617 to provide currency at a fixed rate to hedge a portion of the exchange risk involved in foreign currency-denominated transactions. These foreign exchange contracts include fair value hedges with a total net fair value of $(19) at June 30, 2023.

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, 2023. 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, 2023.

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:

•The severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment, mitigation and other measures taken in response, including the potential impacts of these matters on our business and operations.

•Our inability to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts will continue to impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.

•Adverse economic, political and/or capital access changes or war or other hostilities in the markets served by us or in countries in which we have investments and/or operations, including inflationary pressures, the impact on customer demand and our ability and our suppliers’ ability to access financial markets at favorable rates and terms.

•Increases in our benefit plans’ costs, including increases due to adverse changes in the United States and foreign securities markets, resulting in worse-than-assumed investment returns and discount rates; adverse changes in mortality assumptions; adverse medical cost trends; and unfavorable or delayed implementation or repeal of healthcare legislation, regulations or related court decisions.

•The final outcome of FCC and other federal, state or foreign government agency proceedings (including judicial review, if any, of such proceedings) and legislative efforts involving issues that are 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 and, in particular, siting for 5G service; E911 services; rules concerning digital discrimination; competition policy; privacy; net neutrality; copyright protection; availability of new spectrum on fair and balanced terms; and wireless and satellite license awards and renewals.

•Enactment of additional state, local, federal and/or foreign regulatory and tax laws and regulations, or changes to existing standards and actions by tax agencies and judicial authorities including the resolution of disputes with any taxing jurisdictions, pertaining to our subsidiaries and foreign investments, including laws and regulations that reduce our incentive to invest in our networks, resulting in lower revenue growth and/or higher operating costs.

•U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding intellectual property rights protection and privacy, personal data protection and user consent, which are complex and rapidly evolving and could result in adverse impacts to our business plans, increased costs, or claims against us that may harm our reputation.

•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.

•Disruption in our supply chain for a number of reasons, including, difficulties in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, inability to secure component parts, general business disruption, workforce shortage, natural disasters, safety issues, vendor fraud, economic and political instability, including the outbreak of war or other hostilities, and public health emergencies.

•The continued development and delivery of attractive and profitable wireless, and broadband offerings and devices; the extent to which regulatory and build-out requirements apply to our offerings; our ability to match speeds offered by our competitors; and the availability, cost and/or reliability of the various technologies and/or content required to provide such offerings.

•The availability and cost and 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.

•Our ability to manage growth in wireless data services, including network quality and acquisition of adequate spectrum at reasonable costs and terms.

•The outcome of pending, threatened or potential litigation (which includes arbitrations), including, without limitation, patent and product safety claims by or against third parties or claims based on alleged misconduct by employees.

•The impact from major equipment or software failures on our networks or cyber incidents; the effect of security breaches related to the network or customer information; our inability to obtain handsets, equipment/software or have handsets, equipment/software serviced in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers; or severe weather conditions or other climate related events including flooding and hurricanes, natural disasters including earthquakes and forest fires, pandemics, energy shortages, wars or terrorist attacks.

•The issuance by the FASB or other accounting oversight bodies of new accounting standards or changes to existing standards.

•Our response to competition and regulatory, legislative and technological developments.

•The uncertainty surrounding further congressional action regarding spending and taxation, which may result in changes in government spending and affect the ability and willingness of businesses and consumers to spend in general.

•Our ability to realize or sustain the expected benefits of our business transformation initiatives, which are designed to reduce costs, streamline distribution, remove redundancies and simplify and improve processes and support functions.

•Our ability to successfully complete divestitures, as well as achieve our expectations regarding the financial impact of the completed and/or pending transactions.

Readers are cautioned that other factors discussed in this report, although not enumerated here, also could materially affect our future earnings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.

Recent Wall Street Journal reports regarding lead-clad cables.

In July 2023, The Wall Street Journal published a series of articles alleging that lead-clad telecommunications cables are a public-health hazard. We anticipate that, in light of these assertions, we may be subject to litigation, government investigations and potentially new regulation or legislation relating to lead-clad cables. We may incur significant expenses defending such suits or government actions or complying with any new regulation or legislation, and may be required to spend amounts that are material to AT&T.
