AT&T Inc.

This marked AT&T's 12th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in adjusted earnings per share.
"We delivered an excellent first quarter and a solid start to the year," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and chief executive officer. "Revenue growth continues to ramp, we have good momentum across key growth areas, major cost initiatives are on track, and our operational results reinforce the confidence we have in our outlook.
"AT&T's goal is to innovate and lead in a communications world driven by mobility and interactivity," Stephenson said. "To that end, as we deliver strong earnings and return substantial value to shareowners, we are also taking important steps to expand our networks and product sets to drive continued growth in wireless, broadband and IP-based services.
"AT&T is moving quickly to create the next generation of wireless," Stephenson said. "The future of wireless has never been more promising, and I am very pleased that through our transaction with Aloha Partners and our successful bids in the recently completed auction, we have assembled the industry's premier, high-quality wireless spectrum position. This spectrum will provide a terrific foundation for new wireless and integrated services, and it significantly advances AT&T's long-term growth potential."

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, AT&T's revenues totaled $30.7 billion, up 6.1 percent versus reported results in the year-earlier quarter and up 4.6 percent compared with first-quarter 2007 pro forma revenues, which exclude merger-related accounting impacts on directory revenues. This marks a substantial step up from year-over-year pro forma revenue growth of 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 1.7 percent in the first quarter of 2007.

Double-Digit Growth in Adjusted EPS
AT&T's adjusted results for the first quarter of 2008 exclude merger-related amortization expenses and costs associated with a workforce reduction. Adjusted results for the first quarter of 2007 excluded merger-related costs and accounting effects as well as gains from wireless transactions.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today reported strong fourth-quarter results and reaffirmed its positive outlook for 2008 and beyond. This marked AT&T's 11th consecutive quarter and third straight year of double-digit growth in adjusted earnings per share.
Fourth-quarter results were highlighted by record wireless gains, a significant step up in recurring enterprise services growth, continued double-digit growth in broadband revenues, and accelerated expansion of the company's advanced TV service.
Solid trends in these areas and progress in productivity initiatives reinforce AT&T's expectation for continued strong results as outlined at its December 2007 analyst conference. AT&T's 2008 outlook includes mid-teens percentage growth in wireless service revenues, mid-single-digit percentage growth in consolidated revenues and continued double-digit growth in adjusted earnings per share.
“We had an excellent fourth quarter, which affirms our outlook for 2008,” said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman, chief executive officer and president.
“Our wireless business delivered outstanding results, with the largest quarterly subscriber gain ever posted by a U.S. provider,” Stephenson said. “Enterprise service revenue growth continues to improve. Broadband subscribers and revenues continue to grow at a solid double-digit pace. The ramp in our AT&T U-verse TV service accelerated, and we are on track to reach more than 1 million subscribers by the end of 2008.
“These growth trends, combined with the significant opportunities we have for continuous cost improvements, reinforce the positive outlook we have for our business,” Stephenson said. “AT&T has a terrific set of assets and an impressive record in terms of executing and delivering on targets, and I am very confident in our ability to drive strong results in 2008.”
Revenue Growth
For the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2007, AT&T's reported fourth-quarter revenues totaled $30.3 billion, up from $15.9 billion in the year-earlier quarter. AT&T's 2007 reported results reflect the Dec. 29, 2006 acquisition of BellSouth Corporation and the accompanying consolidation of wireless results.
As a further basis for comparison, AT&T also provides pro forma results, which combine revenues from AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular Wireless consistently in all periods. On this basis, AT&T's fourth-quarter 2007 revenues totaled $30.4 billion, up 2.9 percent versus results for the year-earlier quarter. Excluding revenues from enterprise CPE (customer premises equipment) sales, which AT&T began de-emphasizing after the fourth quarter of 2006, consolidated pro forma revenue growth was 3.5 percent.
AT&T's fourth-quarter revenue growth was driven by a solid mid-teens increase in wireless revenues, improved growth in recurring enterprise services, continued growth in regional business and stable regional consumer revenues. Growth across these areas more than offset anticipated declines in revenues from wholesale and national mass market customers.
Reported Earnings
AT&T's reported net income for the fourth quarter totaled $3.1 billion, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with $1.9 billion, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the year-earlier quarter.
Compared with results in the fourth quarter of 2006, reported operating expenses were $24.9 billion, up from $13.3 billion; reported operating income was $5.5 billion, up from $2.6 billion; and AT&T's reported operating income margin was 18.1 percent versus 16.2 percent.
Double-Digit Growth in Adjusted Earnings Per Share
AT&T's adjusted earnings, which exclude costs and accounting effects associated with acquisitions, totaled $4.3 billion, up from $2.4 billion in the year-earlier fourth quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 16.4 percent to $0.71, up from $0.61 in the year-earlier quarter.
AT&T's adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $7.3 billion, versus $2.9 billion in the year-earlier quarter. AT&T's adjusted operating income margin was 24.0 percent, up from 18.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006.
AT&T's merger integration initiatives continue on schedule, and merger synergies continue to run ahead of the company's original outlook. For the full year 2007, cost savings from BellSouth and AT&T Corp. merger integration initiatives totaled approximately $4.0 billion, approximately 75 percent expense and 25 percent capital.
