AT&T Wireless Group First Quarter Revenue Increases 46.2 Percent

Net Mobility Subscriber Additions of 585,000

Mobility EBITDA Rises 82.7 Percent

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, April 24, 2001

Redmond, WA -- AT&T Wireless (NYSE: AWE) said today that total AT&T Wireless Group revenue increased 46.2 percent to $3.212 billion in the first quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. The total revenue increase reflects continued strength in mobility revenue driven by strong subscriber growth, which was slightly offset by a decline in average revenue per user (ARPU). The strong revenue growth also fueled a 81.3 percent increase in AT&T Wireless Group earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), excluding other income.

"AT&T Wireless has delivered another strong quarter of growth," said AT&T Wireless Group Chairman and CEO John D. Zeglis. "We reported total revenue growth of 46 percent, increased net subscriber additions by 40 percent and grew mobility EBITDA by 83 percent."

Services revenue for the mobility business increased $937 million to total $2.929 billion in the first quarter, which represented 47.1 percent growth compared with the year-ago period. Services revenue for the mobility business increased 27.0 percent compared to the year-ago quarter when adjusted to exclude the impact of the June 2000 acquisition of properties in the San Francisco Bay area, as well as the impact of the acquisition of properties in the Los Angeles market in December 2000. ARPU was $62.20, a decrease of 7.4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily due to competitive pricing pressures, expansion into a broader base of the consumer segment, including prepaid wireless, and the impact associated with the previously mentioned acquisitions in 2000. Equipment revenue was $281 million, an increase of 36.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2000.

Consolidated subscriber net additions for the mobility business totaled 585,000 in the first quarter, an increase of 40.0 percent from the first quarter of 2000. Net subscriber additions in the first quarter, including partnerships and affiliates, totaled 870,000. Total consolidated subscribers were 15.7 million at the end of the first quarter, representing a 57.7 percent increase from the prior year, including subscribers associated with acquisitions that occurred subsequent to the first quarter of 2000. Total subscribers, including partnerships and affiliates, were 17.9 million at the end of the first quarter.

The AT&T Wireless mobility business had EBITDA, excluding other income, in the first quarter of $788 million, an increase of 82.7 percent from the year-ago period. The increase was due primarily to growth in services revenue and a continued focus on cost reduction. Given the strong subscriber growth, the increase was partially offset by higher customer acquisition, network and customer care costs as well as a higher provision for uncollectible receivables. The margin for EBITDA, excluding other income, was 26.9 percent of services revenue in the first quarter, an increase of 5.3 percentage points from the comparable period last year. The margin improvement was driven by the growth in services revenue, the reduction of incollect expenses, and expense leveraging in selling, general and administrative costs.

"Following AT&T's wireless exchange offer in the coming weeks, we're well positioned for the split-off this summer," Zeglis noted. "In the first quarter we received investment grade debt ratings from Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch. That allowed us to complete a private global note offering for $6.5 billion as well as secure a revolving credit facility for an additional $2.5 billion.

"In essence, we've been laying the groundwork for our future success," Zeglis added. "AT&T Wireless has the intellectual and capital resources to expand capacity and invest in other strategic growth initiatives, even while strengthening our balance sheet. In addition, AT&T Wireless, in its strategic alliance with NTT DoCoMo, is developing the next generation of mobile multimedia services on a global-standard, high-speed wireless network. It's a winning plan."

AT&T Wireless also updated 2001 expectations for its mobility business in terms of services revenue, EBITDA, excluding other income, and subscriber growth. Services revenue are expected to grow in the lower end of the 30-35 percent range for the year. EBITDA growth for 2001, excluding other income, is expected to be in the mid-60 percent range. Subscriber growth, on a consolidated basis in 2001, is expected to be around 20 percent. For the second quarter of 2001, net subscriber additions are expected to grow in the mid- to high 20 percent range.

The foregoing are "forward-looking statements" which are based on management's beliefs as well as on a number of assumptions concerning future events made by and information currently available to management.

AT&T currently plans to complete the restructuring as announced, but can make no assurance that all approvals and conditions will be satisfied or that events or new opportunities will not cause modifications to the plan or the timelines.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside AT&T's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.

For a more detailed description of the factors that could cause such a difference, please see AT&T's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EX-99 3 eightk042701ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 - PRESS RELEASE

AT&T First-Quarter Reported Revenue Increases 5.4 Percent,

Pro Forma Revenue Increases 2.0 Percent

Loss Per Share of 10 Cents on a Reported Basis

EPS, Excluding Other Income and Excite@Home Goodwill Impairment Charge,

Was 6 Cents Per Share

FOR RELEASE TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 2001

NEW YORK - AT&T today announced first-quarter results for AT&T Group.

Reported revenue increased $862 million, to approximately $16.76 billion, a 5.4 percent increase over the year-ago quarter. AT&T Group revenue increases are primarily due to strong results from Wireless, Broadband and Business data/Internet Protocol (IP), partially offset by a decline in Consumer and Business long distance voice revenue. Pro forma revenue, which is adjusted for the acquisition of MediaOne, the elimination of per line charges, the consolidation of Excite@Home, and closed cable partnerships, increased $336 million, or 2.0 percent, over the same period.

As expected, earnings per share (EPS), excluding other income and a goodwill impairment charge, were $0.06 per diluted share in the first quarter, a decrease of 82.4 percent compared to the $0.34 per diluted share from the year-ago quarter. On a reported basis, AT&T Common Stock Group lost $0.10 per diluted share compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.54 for the first quarter of 2000. The first quarter 2001 loss includes the effect of the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, and the impact of a $739 million non-cash, goodwill impairment charge related to Excite@Home.

At the end of the quarter, AT&T's net debt level, excluding monetized debt of $8.6 billion, was approximately $47.5 billion, a reduction of $8.7 billion from year end. The company said it will continue to work aggressively to reduce its total debt by monetizing non-strategic assets and ownership interests.

"Our business, along with others in the industry, continues to feel the impact of declines in long distance voice revenue. At the same time, we're focused on managing for profitability, paying down debt and executing on the strategic investments we've made in our next generation of end-to-end broadband businesses," said Chairman and CEO C. Michael Armstrong.

"Our growth businesses continue to drive solid revenue gains. Wireless delivered another quarter of strong revenue growth - more than 46 percent. Broadband is growing revenue more than 10 percent by adding new subscribers for advanced services while we focus on reducing costs and improving margins. Business data services revenue continued to grow at about 20 percent, despite pricing pressures. Consumer generated $4 billion of revenue, sustained its industry-leading margins of more than 30 percent, and will benefit from our strategic acquisition of digital subscriber line assets this quarter."

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Cash earnings, excluding other income and a goodwill impairment charge, were $0.20 per diluted share in the first quarter.
  • Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), excluding other income and a goodwill impairment charge, and earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), excluding other income and a goodwill impairment charge, were $1.82 billion and $4.74 billion, respectively.
  • Capital expenditures for the first quarter were $3.29 billion. Most of the expenditures were related to Wireless, primarily focused on capacity upgrades and improvements to network quality, Business, related to data and IP, and Broadband, for the launch of advanced services and plant upgrades.

AT&T BUSINESS UNIT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • AT&T Business reported revenue was $7.17 billion, a decline of 1.2 percent over the year-ago quarter. Pro forma revenue declined 1.1 percent over the year-ago quarter.

Business revenue declined primarily due to continued pricing pressures in long distance voice, despite a mid-single-digit increase in long distance calling volumes. The pricing pressures resulted in long distance voice revenue declining by a low-teen percentage rate, compared to the year-ago quarter. AT&T Business continues to focus resources on delivering high-speed data and IP services. As a result, the unit continued to see a revenue shift from voice to higher growth products such as data/IP and services. Among the unit's higher growth products are packet services (Frame Relay, ATM and IP), which on a combined basis grew approximately 40 percent over the same period last year. AT&T Solutions revenue grew at a mid-teens rate primarily due to new outsourcing contracts and add-on business from existing clients.

First quarter EBIT margin, excluding other income, increased to 16.5 percent, but was a 3.8 percentage point decline from the full-year 2000 margin of 20.3 percent. The increase reflects lower restructuring charges, partially offset by the impact of pricing pressure within the long distance voice business as well as the shift from higher-margin long distance services to lower-margin growth services. Reported EBIT and EBITDA declined 11.2 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively, over the year-ago quarter.

  • AT&T Consumer had $4.01 billion in reported revenue for the first quarter, a decline of 20.5 percent, over the year-ago quarter. The unit's pro forma revenue decreased 16.2 percent. The revenue decrease was primarily driven by technology substitution of wireless and Internet services, continued customer migration to lower-priced optional calling plans and prepaid card products, and the effects of competition.

First quarter EBIT, excluding other income, decreased 21.4 percent over the year-ago quarter. Reported EBIT and EBITDA declined 20.5 percent and 20.4 percent, respectively, over the year-ago quarter. The decline reflects the impact of lower revenue, partially offset by the unit's efforts to manage costs. The unit's EBIT margin, excluding other income, was 32.8 percent.

During the quarter, the company announced that it would acquire substantially all of the assets of NorthPoint, a DSL provider, for use by AT&T's Business and Consumer units. The acquisition supports Consumer's strategy of delivering residential customers high-speed access, local, and long distance service over the same line. AT&T Consumer will begin rolling out the service later this year. Consumer also introduced the AT&T 7/7 Offer, giving consumers unlimited access to the Internet via AT&T WorldNet with a 24/7 rate of seven cents a minute on state-to-state long distance calls.

  • AT&T Wireless Group earnings are also reported separately and can be found at www.att.com/wirelessir.

Wireless revenue increased 46.2 percent to $3.21 billion in the first quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. The total revenue increase reflects the impact of acquisitions, as well as continued strength in mobility revenue driven by strong subscriber growth, which was slightly offset by a decline in average revenue per user (ARPU).

Services revenue for the mobility business increased $939 million to total $2.93 billion in the first quarter, which represented growth of 47.2 percent compared with the year-ago period. Total consolidated subscribers were 15.7 million at the end of the first quarter, representing a 57.7 percent increase from the prior year, including subscribers associated with acquisitions that occurred subsequent to the first quarter of 2000.

Total revenue increased 25.7 percent compared to the year-ago quarter when adjusted to exclude the impact of the June 2000 acquisition of properties in the San Francisco Bay area, as well as the impact of the acquisition of properties in the Los Angeles market in December 2000.

Wireless had EBITDA, excluding other income, in the first quarter of $717 million, an increase of 78.9 percent from the year-ago period.

  • AT&T Broadband first quarter pro forma revenue, which includes the results of MediaOne in both periods and also adjusts for other cable transactions, increased 10.9 percent to $2.47 billion year-over-year due to increased revenue from video operations, high-speed data and broadband telephony.

AT&T Broadband experienced rapid growth of new services as the unit added about 700,000 advanced new service revenue-generating units (RGUs), which include broadband telephony, high-speed data and digital video customers. This represented an increase of approximately 70 percent from the year-ago quarter.

The unit improved its presence in major markets by adding about 153,000 broadband telephony customers, more than twice as many as the year-ago quarter. The unit added approximately 340,000 digital video customers, a 54.0 percent increase; and about 206,000 high-speed data customers, an increase of 57.0 percent over the prior year quarter.

The unit ended the quarter by reaching three major milestones: 700,000 broadband telephony customers, 3 million digital video customers and a total of 5 million RGUs.

Pro forma EBITDA margins, excluding other income, decreased 6.8 percentage points over the year-ago quarter due to expenses associated with the roll out of broadband telephony, higher programming costs and increased restructuring charges, offset by revenue growth. Capital expenditures for the unit in the quarter were $807 million, with approximately $423 million related to the launch of advanced services and $115 million for plant upgrade expenditures.

  • Corporate and Other, includes the consolidated results of Excite@Home, corporate staff functions and eliminations. Reported revenue increased $54 million in the first quarter to a negative $89 million compared to a negative $143 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to increased revenue from Excite@Home. Corporate and Other EBITDA, excluding other income and a goodwill impairment charge, improved $260 million to $73 million, compared with the year-ago quarter.

RESTRUCTURING UPDATE:

In October 2000, AT&T announced a restructuring plan to create a family of four businesses, each operating under the AT&T brand and committed to uniform standards of quality. Under the plan, which is expected to be completed in 2002, each of these four businesses will become publicly held, trading as either a common stock or tracking stock.

On April 11, AT&T announced that the Internal Revenue Service ruled that the proposed split off of Liberty Media Corporation, which will own all of the assets reflected in the Liberty Media Group, qualifies as tax free for AT&T, Liberty Media and their shareowners. By mid summer of 2001, AT&T plans to convert the Liberty Media tracking stock into an asset-based security and launch Liberty Media Corporation as an independent, publicly-traded company. AT&T said that it needs to complete certain reorganization steps, which require some reviews, before the split off can be completed. 

On April 18, AT&T released details of its offer to exchange shares of AT&T common stock for shares of AT&T Wireless Group tracking stock. Following the exchange offer and subject to receipt of a favorable tax ruling, the company plans to distribute its remaining interest in AT&T Wireless to AT&T common shareholders.  AT&T intends, however, to retain up to $3 billion of shares of AT&T Wireless for sale, exchange or monetization within six months following the split off. In preparation for the split off, AT&T Wireless has obtained independent credit ratings from Moody's, Standard & Poors and Fitch, completed a $6.5 billion global note offering, and closed on a $2.5 billion syndicated bank facility to provide liquidity support.

AT&T said it expects to distribute AT&T's Consumer tracking stock to shareholders later this year and plans to offer a portion of AT&T Broadband tracking stock to the public toward the end of the year, subject to shareholder approval, market and financial conditions.  

OUTLOOK:

The company reiterated that it is not able to accurately estimate full-year AT&T Group revenue, EBITDA and EPS because of factors associated with its restructuring.  For example, the company is currently conducting an exchange offer of AT&T shares for AT&T Wireless tracking shares.  The number of AT&T shares that will be retired as a result of the exchange is not known, but could have a substantial effect on any full-year EPS estimate.  In addition, the planned AT&T Wireless split off, the public offering of AT&T Broadband tracking stock and the distribution of AT&T Consumer tracking stock will also affect EPS.  Factors such as timing, valuation or proceeds from such transactions, which cannot be predicted, may also affect the company's reported results.  

The company reaffirmed the 2001 guidance ranges it had provided to investors in January for its four segments. AT&T also said it expects AT&T Group pro forma revenue growth for the second quarter to be in a range similar to growth in the first quarter of 2001, and expects EBITDA, excluding other income, to be in the mid-$4 billion range in the second quarter.  

Excluding any impact of the AT&T/AT&T Wireless exchange offer, AT&T said it expects second quarter EPS, excluding other income, to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.04 and cash EPS, excluding other income, in the range of $0.15 to $0.18.
