Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA
service margin and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by excluding from operating revenues,
operating expenses and income tax expense certain significant items that are non-operational or non-recurring in nature,
including dispositions and merger integration and transaction costs. Management believes that these measures provide
relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our
operations and underlying business trends.
Adjusted Operating Revenues, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
margin, Adjusted EBITDA service margin and Adjusted diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. AT&T's calculation of Adjusted
items, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net Debt to EBITDA ratios are non-GAAP financial measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies and
management believes these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial
data. The Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing the Net Debt by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt
is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and time deposits that are greater than
90 days, from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by
annualizing the year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA.
