Broadband revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by increases in fiber revenues of 18.9% and 19.0%. Higher fiber revenues reflect an increase in fiber customers, which we expect to continue as we invest further in building our fiber footprint, and higher ARPU. This increase was partially offset by declines in copper-based broadband services.

Legacy voice and data services revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in demand for these services in favor of other technologies, such as wireless and fiber services.

Other service and equipment revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in the number of VoIP customers.

Operations and support expenses were flat in the second quarter and decreased for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by lower customer support and content licensing costs, largely offset by higher network-related costs and higher marketing costs.

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades and expansion, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2025.

Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Consumer Wireline operating income margin in the second quarter increased from 5.5% in 2024 to 9.5% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 5.9% in 2024 to 9.7% in 2025. Our Consumer Wireline EBITDA margin in the second quarter increased from 32.8% in 2024 to 36.5% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 32.7% in 2024 to 36.7% in 2025.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange impacts.

Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025.

COMPETITIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

Overview AT&T subsidiaries operating within the United States are subject to federal and state regulations. AT&T subsidiaries operating outside the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulations in the markets where service is provided. Complying with these regulations may affect our results of operations and cash flow, and compliance may be very costly.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We do not anticipate the legislation to materially impact our income tax expense, but expect that it will have a material impact on cash taxes paid.

For further discussion of regulations impacting AT&T and its subsidiaries, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Regulatory Landscape” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents$10,499$3,298
Total debt132,311123,532

We had $10,499 in cash and cash equivalents available at June 30, 2025, increasing $7,201 since December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents included cash of $2,795 and money market funds and other cash equivalents of $7,704. Approximately $1,376 of our cash and cash equivalents were held in accounts outside of the U.S. and may be subject to restrictions on repatriation.

For the first six months of 2025, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations, including cash from our sale and transfer of our receivables to third parties, 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, including higher device payments from higher sales volumes. The cash generated from operating activities was primarily used to fund capital improvements, make dividend payments to stockholders, repurchase preferred and common stock, and repay long-term debt. We maintain availability under our credit facilities and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the first six months of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $18,812, compared to $16,640 for the first six months of 2024, with increases resulting from higher cash flows related to DIRECTV, including a first-quarter 2025 dividend of $1,138, and operational growth.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Continued

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

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, including principal and interest payments, was to decrease cash from operating activities approximately $2,146 and $2,120 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All supplier financing payments are due within one year. (See Note 10)

Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the first six months of 2025, cash used in investing activities totaled $11,044 and consisted primarily of $9,174 (including interest during construction) for capital expenditures. During the first six months of 2025, investing activities also included $38 of FirstNet sustainability payments net of reinvestment, and $620 for our investment in a new strategic partner related to wireline network transformation accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

We enter into multi-year software licensing arrangements, which are typically paid over the license terms of two to five years and referred to as vendor financing. Additionally, for capital improvements, we have negotiated favorable vendor payment terms of 120 days or more with some of our vendors, which are also referred to as vendor financing. Vendor financing is excluded from capital expenditures and reported as financing activities. For the first six months of 2025, vendor financing payments were $423, compared to $1,391 for the first six months of 2024. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2025 were $9,174, and when including $423 cash paid for vendor financing, capital investment was $9,597 ($88 higher 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 2025, we placed $831 of productive assets in service under vendor financing arrangements (compared to $523 in the prior-year comparable period). The amount of capital expenditures is influenced by demand for services and products, capacity needs and network enhancements.

On July 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our interest in DIRECTV to TPG. Upon close, we will record a current note receivable of approximately $3,600, which we expect to receive the majority of by the end of 2025, and a long-term note receivable of $500.

Cash Provided by or Used in Financing Activities

For the first six months of 2025, cash used in financing activities totaled $598 and was primarily comprised of dividend payments, preferred and common stock repurchases, debt repayments and vendor financing payments, offset by issuances of long-term debt and preferred interests.

A tabular summary of our debt activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 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 4.2% as of June 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024. We had $130,929 of total notes and debentures outstanding at June 30, 2025. This also included Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc and Australian dollar denominated debt that totaled approximately $36,181.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Continued

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

At June 30, 2025, we had $9,254 of long-term debt maturing within one year. We had no outstanding commercial paper or other short-term borrowings on June 30, 2025.

For the first six months of 2025, we paid $423 of cash under our vendor financing program, compared to $1,391 in the prior-year comparable period. Total vendor financing payables included in our June 30, 2025 consolidated balance sheet were $1,916, with $1,193 due within one year (in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”) and the remainder predominantly due within five years (in “Other noncurrent liabilities”).

During the first six months of 2025, we repurchased approximately 34 million shares totaling $958 under our $10,000 common stock repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in December 2024, excluding brokerage fees and the one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. At June 30, 2025, we had approximately $9,042 remaining under this repurchase authorization.

We paid dividends on common and preferred shares of $4,135 during the first six months of 2025, compared with $4,133 for the first six months of 2024.

Dividends on common stock declared by our Board of Directors totaled $0.5550 per share in the first six months of 2025 and 2024. Our dividend policy considers the expectations and requirements of stockholders, capital funding requirements of AT&T and long-term growth opportunities.

Financing activities in the first six months of 2025 also included the issuance of $2,250 of nonconvertible cumulative preferred interests in Telco LLC, with the funds used to redeem all outstanding Series B preferred stock for $2,075 (see Note 11). We also received approximately $850 in upfront cash proceeds from a structured sale-leaseback of real estate.

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, 2029 (Revolving Credit Agreement). No amount was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

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.

Our Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that are customary for an issuer with 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, 2025, 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 $36,499 derivative portfolio, counterparties are still required to post collateral. During the first six months of 2025, we received $237 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, 2025, our debt ratio was 51.7%, compared to 51.8% at June 30, 2024 and 50.7% at December 31, 2024. 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.

DISCUSSION AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

We also evaluate segment and business unit performance based on EBITDA, which is defined as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, and/or EBITDA margin, which is defined as EBITDA divided by total revenue. 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. There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we have defined them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

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, 2025. 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, 2025.

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:

  • Adverse economic and political changes, public health emergencies and our ability to access financial markets on favorable terms.

  • Increases in our benefit plans’ costs, including due to worse-than-assumed investment returns and discount rates, mortality assumptions, medical cost trends, or healthcare laws or regulations.

  • The final outcome of FCC and other federal, state or foreign government agency proceedings (including judicial review of such proceedings) and legislative and regulatory efforts involving issues 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; E911 services; rules concerning digital discrimination; competition policy; privacy; net neutrality; copyright protection; availability of new spectrum on fair and reasonable terms; and wireless and satellite license awards and renewals, and our response to such legislative and regulatory efforts.

  • Enactment of or changes to state, local, federal and/or foreign tax laws and regulations, and actions by tax agencies and judicial authorities, and the resolution of disputes with any taxing jurisdictions, pertaining to our subsidiaries and foreign investments.

  • U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding intellectual property rights protection and privacy, personal data protection and user consent, which are rapidly evolving.

  • 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, and our response to such competition and emerging technologies.

  • Disruptions in our supply chain that have a material impact on our ability to acquire needed goods and services.

  • The development and delivery of attractive and profitable wireless and broadband offerings and devices, including our ability to match speeds offered by competitors; and the availability, cost and/or reliability of technologies required to provide such offerings.

  • 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.

  • The outcome of pending, threatened or potential litigation and arbitration.

  • The impact from major equipment, software or other failures or errors that disrupt 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; severe weather conditions or other natural disasters including earthquakes and forest fires; public health emergencies; energy shortages; or wars or terrorist attacks.

  • The issuance by the FASB or other accounting oversight bodies of new or revised accounting standards.

  • The imposition of tariffs and their duration and uncertainty surrounding further tariffs and 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, enable legacy rationalization, 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 completed and/or pending transactions.

Readers are cautioned that other factors discussed in this report and in our most recent Form 10-K, although not enumerated here, also could materially affect our future earnings.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 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.

We may not realize or sustain the expected benefits from our business transformation initiatives, and these efforts could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations and competitive position.

We have been and will be undertaking certain transformation initiatives, which are designed to reduce costs, enable legacy rationalization, streamline and modernize distribution and customer service, remove redundancies and simplify and improve processes and support functions. Our focus is on supporting added customer value with an improved customer experience. We intend for these efficiencies to enable increased investments in our strategic areas of focus, which include improving broadband connectivity (for example, fiber and 5G). We also expect these initiatives to drive efficiencies and improved margins. If we do not successfully manage and timely execute these initiatives and investments, which may include acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions, or if they are inadequate or ineffective, we may fail to meet our financial goals and achieve anticipated benefits, improvements may be delayed, not sustained or not realized, and our business, operations and competitive position could be adversely affected. In addition, any such transaction entails certain risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges. Further, we are using and intend to further use artificial intelligence (AI)-driven efficiencies in our network design and operations, software development, sales, marketing, customer support services and general and administrative costs. The models used in those products, particularly generative AI models, may produce output or take action that is incorrect, release private or confidential information, reflect biases included in the data on which they are trained, infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or be otherwise harmful. Any of these risks could expose us to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences and harm our reputation and the public perception of our business or the effectiveness of our security measures.
