NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Dollars in millions except per share amounts

NOTE 1. PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, media 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, 2020. 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.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 (see Note 4 and Note 5).

In the tables throughout this document, percentage increases and decreases that are not considered meaningful are denoted with a dash.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

3 The amortization of prior service credits associated with postretirement benefits are included in Other income (expense) - net in the consolidated statements of income (see Note 6).

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 analyze our segments based on segment operating contribution, which consists of operating income, excluding acquisition-related costs and other significant items (as discussed below), and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates for investments managed within each segment. We have three reportable segments: (1) Communications, (2) WarnerMedia and (3) Latin America.
We also evaluate segment and business unit performance based on EBITDA and/or EBITDA margin, which is defined as operating contribution excluding equity in net income (loss) of affiliates and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA to be a relevant and useful measurement to our investors as it is part of our internal management reporting and planning processes and it is an important metric that management uses to evaluate operating performance. EBITDA does not give effect to depreciation and amortization expenses incurred in operating contribution 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 revenues.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - Continued
Dollars in millions except per share amounts

In the first quarter of 2021, we recast our segment results for all prior periods to reflect the following:
Communications segment results were recast to remove the held-for-sale businesses, principally Video, instead reporting those results in Corporate and Other. Additionally, we refined the allocation of shared infrastructure and deferred customer acquisition costs between Consumer Wireline and Video.
WarnerMedia segment results reflect our operation of WarnerMedia as one integrated organization.

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 IP-based services, as well as traditional voice and data services and related equipment to business customers.
Consumer Wireline provides internet, including broadband fiber, and legacy telephony voice communication services to residential customers.
The WarnerMedia segment develops, produces and distributes feature films, television, gaming and other content in various physical and digital formats globally. WarnerMedia content is distributed through basic networks, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) or theatrical, TV content and games licensing. Segment results also include Xandr advertising and Otter Media Holdings.

On May 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement to combine our WarnerMedia segment, subject to certain exceptions, with a subsidiary of Discovery Inc. (See Note 8)

Effective January 1, 2021, we updated our reporting units to reflect recent changes in how WarnerMedia, an integrated content organization that distributes across various platforms, is managed and evaluated. With this operational change, the reporting unit is deemed to be the operating segment. The previous reporting units, Turner, Home Box Office, Warner Bros., and Xandr, and the new WarnerMedia reporting unit were tested for goodwill impairment on January 1, 2021, for which there was none.
The Latin America segment provides entertainment and wireless services outside of the U.S. This segment contains the following business units:
Vrio provides video services primarily to residential customers using satellite technology in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Mexico provides wireless service and equipment to customers in Mexico.

On July 21, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Vrio business to Grupo Werthein (see Note 8). The transaction is expected to close within one year. We applied held-for-sale accounting to Vrio as of June 30, 2021, and continue to present the Vrio results within the Latin America segment consistent with how performance was assessed and resource allocation decisions were made through June 30, 2021.
Corporate and Other reconciles our segment results to consolidated operating income and income before income taxes, and includes:
Corporate , which consists of: (1) businesses no longer integral to our operations or which we no longer actively market, (2) corporate support functions, (3) impacts of corporate-wide decisions for which the individual operating segments are not being evaluated, and (4) the reclassification of the amortization of prior service credits, which we continue to report with segment operating expenses, to consolidated “Other income (expense) – net.”
Video, which consists of our held-for-sale U.S. video operations, which provides video, including over-the-top (OTT) services and also sells multiplatform advertising services.
Acquisition-related items , which consists of items associated with the merger and integration of acquired or divested businesses, including amortization of intangible assets.
Certain significant items , which includes (1) employee separation charges associated with voluntary and/or strategic offers, (2) asset impairments and abandonments, and (3) other items for which the segments are not being evaluated.
Eliminations and consolidations , which (1) removes transactions involving dealings between our segments, including channel distribution between WarnerMedia and Video, and (2) includes adjustments for our reporting of the advertising business.
“Interest expense” and “Other income (expense) – net,” are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results.

Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs
Costs to acquire and fulfill customer contracts, including commissions on service activations, for our wireless, business wireline, consumer wireline and video services, are deferred and amortized over the contract period or expected customer relationship life, which typically ranges from three years to five years . For contracts with an estimated amortization period of less than one year, we expense incremental costs immediately.
The following table presents the deferred customer contract acquisition and fulfillment costs included on our consolidated balance sheets:

Deferred customer contract acquisition and fulfillment costs included in “Prepaid and other current assets” at June 30, 2021, include $ 1,465 of deferred acquisition costs ($ 414 of which were reclassified from “Other Assets”) and $ 2,116 of deferred fulfillment costs ($ 916 of which were reclassified from “Other Assets”) principally for our Video business, reflecting the held-for-sale treatment (see Note 8).

The following table presents deferred customer contract acquisition and fulfillment cost amortization included in “Other cost of revenue” for the six months ended:

Consolidated Statements of Income 2021 2020
Deferred acquisition cost amortization $ 1,623 $ 1,278
Deferred fulfillment cost amortization 2,422 2,636

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., “buy one get one free”) the difference between revenue recognized and consideration received is recorded as a contract asset to be amortized over the contract term.

When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded for deferred revenue. 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 2021 2020
Contract asset $ 4,072 $ 3,501
Current portion in “Prepaid and other current assets” 2,642 2,054
Contract liability 6,431 6,879
Current portion in “Advanced billings and customer deposits” 4,735 6,071
Current portion in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” 1,100

Our beginning of period contract liability recorded as customer contract revenue during 2021 was $ 5,023 .
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations primarily relate to our Communications segment and 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 our WarnerMedia segment, the most significant remaining performance obligations relate to the licensing of theatrical and television content which will be made available to customers at some point in the future. 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, video 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, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 42,528 , of which we expect to recognize approximately 82 % by the end of 2022, with the balance recognized thereafter. Approximately $ 2,027 of the $ 42,528 remaining performance obligation relates to the Video business.

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 2021.
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. We anticipate total distributions from the pension plan will exceed the threshold of service and interest costs for 2021, requiring us to follow settlement accounting and remeasure our pension benefit plan assets and obligations at each quarter-end in 2021, as we expect settlements to occur during each quarter. These remeasurements resulted in the recognition of an actuarial gain of $ 2,844 for the first quarter and an actuarial loss of $ 197 for the second quarter, totaling $ 2,647 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

As part of our 2021 remeasurements, we updated the weighted-average discount rate used to measure our pension benefit obligation from 2.70 % at December 31, 2020 to 3.30 % at March 31, 2021, and to 3.00 % at June 30, 2021. The discount rate in effect for determining pension service and interest costs after our June 30 remeasurement is 3.30 % and 2.30 % respectively. The remeasurements also reflect actual returns on pension plan assets of 4.29 % (six-month rate) relative to our expected long-term rate of 6.75 % (annual rate).
The following table details pension and postretirement benefit costs included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The service cost component of net periodic pension (credit) cost is recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income while the remaining components are recorded in “Other income (expense) – net.”

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, 2020.
Long-Term Debt and Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities, and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
Notes and debentures 1
$ 171,445 $ 199,544 $ 155,209 $ 187,224

1 Includes credit agreement borrowings. Amounts at June 30, 2021 exclude $ 200 associated with Video business and $ 35 associated with Vrio, which were classified as held-for-sale (see Note 8).
2 Excludes investments accounted for under the equity method.

The carrying amount of debt with an original maturity of less than one year approximates fair value. The fair value measurements used for notes and debentures are considered Level 2 and are determined using various methods, including quoted prices for identical or similar securities in both active and inactive markets.

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.

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 some of our cross-currency swaps 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. The changes in fair values of cross-currency swaps attributable to the cross-currency basis spread are considered excluded components.
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. In instances where we have designated excluded components 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 through the swap accrual. Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recorded at fair market 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, 2021 and 2020, no ineffectiveness was measured on fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedging We designate most of our cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges. We have entered into multiple cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk generated from our foreign-denominated debt. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal from fixed foreign currency 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 currency-denominated interest rate to a fixed U.S. dollar denominated interest rate.
We also designate some of our foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge certain forecasted film production costs and film tax incentives denominated in foreign currencies.

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 $ 81 from accumulated OCI to “Interest expense” due to the amortization of net losses on historical interest rate locks.
Net Investment Hedging We have designated € 1,450 million aggregate principal amount of debt as a hedge of the variability of some of the Euro-denominated net investments of our subsidiaries. The gain or loss on the debt that is designated as, and is effective as, an economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is recorded as a currency translation adjustment within accumulated OCI, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Net losses on net investment hedges recognized in accumulated OCI in the second quarter were $ 19 and net gains for the first six months of 2021 were $ 51 .
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, 2021, we had posted collateral of $ 68 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $ 398 (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 $ 57 . 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 $ 1,550 . If DIRECTV Holdings LLC’s credit rating had been downgraded below BBB- by S&P, we would have been required to post additional collateral of $ 3 . At December 31, 2020, we had posted collateral of $ 53 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $ 694 (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. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Acquisitions
Spectrum Auction On February 24, 2021, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that AT&T was the winning bidder for 1,621 C-Band licenses, comprised of a total of 80 MHz nationwide, including 40 MHz in Phase I. We provided to the FCC an upfront deposit of $ 550 in 2020 and cash payments totaling $ 22,856 in the first quarter of 2021, for a total of $ 23,406 to date. The licenses were granted by the FCC in July 2021 and remain subject to clearing. We estimate that we will be responsible for $ 955 of Incentive Payments upon clearing of Phase I spectrum, expected by the end of 2021, and $ 2,112 upon clearing of Phase II spectrum, expected by the end of 2023. Additionally, we will be responsible for approximately $ 1,000 of compensable relocation costs over the next several years as the spectrum is being cleared by satellite operators. Cash paid, including deposits and refunds, for spectrum and capitalized interest is included in “Acquisitions, net of cash acquired” on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Funding for the purchase price of the spectrum included a combination of cash on hand and short-term investments, as well as short- and long-term debt.

The amounts deposited toward the acquisition of the licenses and capitalized interest were reported as “Deposits on Wireless Licenses” on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, and were reclassified to “Licenses - Net” upon receipt in July 2021. Interest is capitalized until the spectrum is ready for its intended use.
Dispositions
Video Business On July 31, 2021, we closed our transaction with TPG Capital (TPG) to form a new company named DIRECTV (New DTV), which is jointly governed by a board with representation from both AT&T and TPG, with TPG having tie-breaking authority on certain key decisions. We began accounting for our investment in New DTV under the equity method, effective August 1, 2021. After the close of the transaction, New DTV issued $ 6,200 of long-term debt on August 2, 2021.

In connection with the transaction, we contributed our U.S. Video business unit to New DTV for $ 4,250 of junior preferred units, an additional distribution preference of $ 4,200 and a 70 % economic interest in common units (collectively “equity considerations”). Upon close, we received approximately $ 7,130 in cash from New DTV ($ 7,600 , net of $ 470 cash on hand) and transferred $ 195 of DIRECTV debt. TPG contributed approximately $ 1,800 in cash to New DTV for $ 1,800 of senior preferred units and a 30 % economic interest in common units. As part of this transaction, we agreed to pay net losses under the NFL SUNDAY TICKET contract up to a cap of $ 2,100 over the remaining period of the contract.

Due to the timing of the transaction, the separation of shared operations, and finalization of commercial and transition service arrangements, our assessment of the third-quarter 2021 financial impacts of the sale is ongoing.

Under separate transition services agreements, we will provide New DTV certain operational support for up to three years . We also have entered into commercial arrangements, for up to five years , to provide network transport for U-verse products and sales services.

Pending Dispositions
WarnerMedia On May 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement to combine our WarnerMedia segment, subject to certain exceptions, with a subsidiary of Discovery, Inc. (Discovery). The agreement is structured as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, under which WarnerMedia will be distributed to AT&T’s shareholders via a pro rata dividend, an exchange offer, or a combination of both, followed by its combination with Discovery. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to AT&T and AT&T’s shareholders. AT&T will receive approximately $ 43,000 (subject to adjustment) in a combination of cash, debt securities, and WarnerMedia’s retention of certain debt; and AT&T’s shareholders will receive stock representing approximately 71 % of the new company; Discovery shareholders will own approximately 29 % of the new company. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2022, subject to approval by Discovery shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. No vote is required by AT&T shareholders.

The merger agreement contains certain customary termination rights for AT&T and Discovery, including, without limitation, a right for either party to terminate if the transaction is not completed on or before July 15, 2023. Termination under specified circumstances will require Discovery to pay AT&T a termination fee of $ 720 or AT&T to pay Discovery a termination fee of $ 1,770 .

Magallanes, Inc. (Spinco), a subsidiary of AT&T, entered into a $ 41,500 commitment letter (Bridge Loan) on May 17, 2021. On June 4, 2021, Spinco entered into a $ 10,000 term loan credit agreement (Spinco Term Loan) and reduced the aggregate commitment amount under the Bridge Loan to $ 31,500 . There have been no draws on the Bridge Loan or the Spinco Term Loan. In the event advances are made under the Bridge Loan or Spinco Term Loan, those advances will be used by Spinco to finance a portion of the cash distribution to AT&T in connection with the transaction.

Also, on June 23, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell WarnerMedia’s mobile games app studio, Playdemic Ltd. (Playdemic), to Electronic Arts (EA) for approximately $ 1,400 in cash. Playdemic was excluded from the pending WarnerMedia/Discovery transaction. In the second quarter of 2021, we classified Playdemic as held-for-sale and included $ 564 of goodwill in “Prepaid and other current assets,” on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. This transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by the end of 2021.

Vrio On July 21, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Latin America video operations, Vrio, to Grupo Werthein. In the second quarter of 2021, we classified the Vrio disposal group as held-for-sale and reported the disposal group at fair value less cost to sell, which resulted in a noncash, pre-tax impairment charge of $ 4,555 , including approximately $ 2,100 related to accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments and $ 2,500 related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Approximately $ 80 of the impairment was attributable to noncontrolling interest. At June 30, 2021, our consolidated balance sheet included $ 883 of Vrio held-for-sale assets reported in “Prepaid and other current assets,” primarily related to deferred customer contract acquisition and fulfillment costs, prepaids and other deferred charges, and $ 2,849 of related liabilities reported in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities,” primarily for reserves associated with accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments, which will reverse against accumulated other comprehensive income upon close of the transaction.

The transaction is expected to close in early 2022, pending customary closing conditions. We will retain our 41.3 % interest in SKY Mexico, a leading pay-TV provider in Mexico.

NOTE 9. 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 are discussed in detail below and generally consist of (1) receivables arising from equipment installment plans, which are sold for cash and a deferred purchase price, and (2) revolving service and trade receivables. Under these programs, we transfer receivables to purchasers in exchange for cash and additional consideration upon settlement of the receivables, where applicable. Under the terms of our agreements for these programs, we continue to bill and collect the payments from our customers on behalf of the financial institutions.
The sales of receivables did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of income or to “Total Assets” reported on our consolidated balance sheets. We reflect cash receipts on sold receivables as cash flows from operations in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash receipts on the deferred purchase price are classified as cash flows from investing activities.
Our equipment installment and revolving receivable programs are discussed in detail below. The following table sets forth a summary of the receivables and accounts being serviced:

Equipment Installment Receivables Program
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 following table sets forth a summary of equipment installment receivables sold under this program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
Three months ended Six months ended
June 30, June 30,

Cash proceeds received 1,731 1,225 5,250 3,175
Deferred purchase price recorded 292 232 706 585
Guarantee obligation recorded 81 27 227 71
1 Receivables net of allowance, imputed interest and equipment trade-in right guarantees.

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, 2021 and 2020:
Three months ended Six months ended
June 30, June 30,

$ 24 $ 4 $ 44 $ 15
1 These gains are included in "Selling, general and administrative" in the consolidated statements of income.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our deferred purchase price receivable was $ 2,631 and $ 1,991 , respectively, of which $ 1,639 and $ 1,476 are included in “Prepaid and other current assets” on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder in “Other Assets.” The guarantee obligation at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $ 289 and $ 228 , respectively, of which $ 92 and $ 161 are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder in “Other noncurrent liabilities.” Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of selling these equipment installment receivables is limited to the total amount of our deferred purchase price and guarantee obligation.
Revolving Receivables Program
We have a revolving agreement to transfer up to $ 6,000 of certain receivables through our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries to various financial institutions on a recurring basis in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables transferred. This agreement is subject to renewal on an annual basis and the transfer limit may be expanded from time to time. As customers pay their balances, we transfer additional receivables into the program, resulting in our gross receivables sold exceeding net cash flow impacts (e.g., collect and reinvest). The transferred receivables are fully guaranteed by our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries, which hold additional receivables in the amount of $ 3,714 that are pledged as collateral under this agreement. The transfers are recorded at fair value of the proceeds received and obligations assumed less derecognized receivables. The obligation is

subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated expected credit losses and interest rates. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these receivables transferred is limited to the amount outstanding.
The fair value measurement used for the obligation is considered Level 3 under the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework (see Note 7).

NOTE 10. 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 real estate operating leases contain renewal options that may be exercised, and some of our leases include options to terminate the leases 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.
The components of lease expense were as follows:
Three months ended Six months ended

OVERVIEW
AT&T Inc. is referred to as “we,” “AT&T” or the “Company” throughout this document, 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, media and technology industries. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (Notes).
We have three reportable segments: (1) Communications, (2) WarnerMedia and (3) Latin America. Our segment results presented in Note 4 and discussed below follow our internal management reporting. We analyze our segments based on segment operating contribution, which consists of operating income, excluding acquisition-related costs and other significant items and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates for investments managed within each segment. Percentage increases and decreases that are not considered meaningful are denoted with a dash.

In the first quarter of 2021, we recast our segment results for all prior periods to reflect the following:
Communications segment results were recast to remove the held-for-sale businesses, principally Video, instead reporting those results in Corporate and Other. Additionally, we refined the allocation of shared infrastructure and deferred customer acquisition costs between Consumer Wireline and Video.
WarnerMedia segment results reflect our operation of WarnerMedia as one integrated organization.

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2021. The revenue increase was driven by higher content, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) subscription and advertising revenues in our WarnerMedia segment; Mobility equipment and service revenue growth and gains in broadband service in our Communications segment; and growth in Mexico wireless operations and favorable foreign exchange impacts . This increase was partially offset by declines in our Video business and lower Business Wireline revenues resulting from higher demand for pandemic-related connectivity in the prior-year. Operating revenues in 2021 were also impacted by the absence of revenue from our wireless and wireline operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands which were sold in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2021. The expense increase was primarily due to a noncash impairment charge of $4,555 resulting from our assessment of the recoverability of the net assets of Vrio, including approximately $2,100 of historical currency translation adjustments (see Note 8). The expense increase was also driven in part by increased domestic wireless equipment expense from higher smartphone sales, higher sports-related programming costs, and additional DTC programming and marketing costs. Also contributing to the higher comparative expenses was the first-quarter 2020 gain on spectrum transaction, which did not recur in 2021. Partially offsetting the expense increases were severance charges in the prior-year quarter and lower Video costs in the current year.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021.

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

Amortization expense decreased $1,076, or 50.2% in the second quarter and $2,001, or 47.6% for the first six months of 2021 primarily due to the lower cost basis of long-lived assets resulting from Video impairments taken in the fourth quarter of 2020 and ceasing amortization on held-for-sale Video assets in 2021.

Depreciation expense decreased $448, or 8.7% in the second quarter and $936, or 9.1% for the first six months of 2021 primarily due to the lower cost basis of property, plant and equipment resulting from Video impairments taken in the fourth quarter of 2020 and ceasing depreciation on held-for-sale Video assets in 2021.
Operating income decreased in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2021. Our operating income margin for the second quarter decreased from 8.6% in 2020 to 7.4% in 2021 and in the first six months decreased from 13.2% in 2020 to 12.4% in 2021.
Interest expense decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2021, primarily due to lower interest rates and capitalized interest associated with the spectrum acquisitions.
Equity in net income of affiliates increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, primarily due to improved performance from certain WarnerMedia investments.
Other income (expense) – net decreased in the second quarter and increased for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in the second quarter was driven by the recognition of an actuarial loss of $197, with no comparable interim remeasurement in 2020, greater returns on benefit-related investments and gains on assets sales in 2020, and fewer impairments taken on investments in 2021. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher net pension and postretirement benefit credits resulting from lower interest costs on the benefit obligation and higher prior service credit amortization (see Note 6).

The increase for the first six months was primarily due to the recognition of an actuarial gain of $2,647, with no comparable interim remeasurement in 2020, and an increase in net pension and postretirement benefit credits resulting from lower interest costs on the benefit obligation and higher prior service credit amortization. The increase also includes higher returns on benefit-related investments for the six-month comparable period and fewer impairments taken in 2021.
Income taxes decreased in the second quarter and increased for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily driven by the tax benefit resulting from the Vrio held-for-sale classification and tax planning initiatives, including state apportionment analysis and filing methodology offset by higher income before income tax. Our effective tax rate was 28.6% in the second quarter of 2021, versus 37.5% in the comparable period in the prior year. The effective tax rate in 2020 was higher primarily due to our prior-year impairment of Vrio goodwill, which was not deductible for tax purpose.

The increase for the first six months was primarily due to higher income before income tax, offset by tax benefit resulting from the Vrio held-for-sale classification, tax initiatives and audit settlements. Our effective tax rate was 22.6% for the first six months of 2021, versus 25.5% for the comparable period in the prior year.

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, 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 equipment revenue growth and wireless service revenue improvements and gains in broadband service.
Operating contribution decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, reflecting lower operating contribution from our Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline business units, largely offset by increases in our Mobility business unit. Our Communications segment operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 28.3% in 2020 to 26.1% in 2021 and for the first six months decreased from 27.9% in 2020 to 26.1% in 2021, reflecting, in part, increased equipment sales with no margins.

4 Calculated by dividing the aggregate number of wireless subscribers who canceled service during a month divided 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 2021. The increases are largely due to growth in our subscribers and slight improvements in second-quarter 2021 international roaming revenues.

ARPU
Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021. ARPU during 2021 reflects the impact of higher promotional discount amortization.
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 lower in the first six months due to retention offers, migrations to unlimited plans and continued network performance.

Equipment revenue increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, primarily driven by the sale of higher-priced smartphones and a mix of higher-priced postpaid smartphones and higher sales of postpaid data devices.
Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021 largely driven by growth in equipment sales and associated expenses, higher network and technology costs, increased commissions and cost deferral amortization and content costs associated with bundling HBO Max. Also contributing to higher comparative expenses were larger second-quarter 2020 gains on tower sales. The expense increase was offset by lower sales costs and, for the six-month period, lower bad debt expense.
Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and decreased for the first six months of 2021.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021. Our Mobility operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 33.9% in 2020 to 31.7% in 2021, and for the first six months decreased from 33.6% in 2020 to 31.6% in 2021. Our Mobility EBITDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 45.6% in 2020 to 42.4% in 2021, and for the first six months decreased from 45.3% in 2020 to 42.2% in 2021. EBITDA is defined as operating contribution excluding equity in net income (loss) of affiliates and depreciation and amortization.
Subscriber Relationships
As the wireless industry has matured, future wireless growth will depend on our ability to offer innovative services, plans and devices that take advantage of our 5G wireless network, which went nationwide in July 2020, and to provide these services in bundled product offerings. Subscribers that purchase two or more services from us have significantly lower churn than subscribers that purchase only one service. To support higher mobile data usage, our priority is to best utilize a wireless network that has sufficient spectrum and capacity to support these innovations on as broad a geographic basis as possible.
To attract and retain subscribers in a mature and highly competitive market, we have launched a wide variety of plans, including our FirstNet and prepaid products, and arrangements that bundle our video services. Virtually all of our postpaid smartphone subscribers are on plans that provide for service on multiple devices at reduced rates, and subscribers to such plans tend to have higher retention and lower churn rates. We offer unlimited data plans and subscribers to such plans also tend to have higher retention and lower churn rates. Our offerings are intended to encourage existing subscribers to upgrade their current services and/or add devices, attract subscribers from other providers and/or minimize subscriber churn.

Broadband (high-speed internet) revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, driven by an increase in fiber customers and pricing, which we expect to continue during the remainder of the year.

Legacy voice and data service revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, reflecting the continued decline in the number of customers.

Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, primarily driven by content costs associated with plans bundling HBO Max and higher customer support costs. Partially offsetting these increases was lower cost deferral amortization, including the impact of the first-quarter 2021 updates to extend the economic life for our subscribers.
Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion.

Our WarnerMedia segment is operated as a content organization that distributes across various platforms, including basic networks, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) or theatrical, TV content and games licensing.

On May 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement to combine our WarnerMedia segment, subject to certain exceptions with a subsidiary of Discovery Inc. (See Note 8)

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, primarily due to higher subscription, advertising and content revenues, reflecting the partial recovery from prior-year impacts of the pandemic.

Subscription revenues increased reflecting growth of DTC domestic HBO Max and HBO subscribers after the launch of HBO Max in the year-ago quarter, and, for the six-month period, the May 2020 acquisition of the remaining interest in HBO Latin America Group. DTC subscription revenues were $1,996 and $3,806, for the three- and six-month periods of 2021, versus $1,441 and $2,779 in the year-ago periods and include growth from intercompany relationships with the Communications segment.

Advertising revenues improved when compared to the prior year resulting from the return in 2021 of major sporting events, such as the NBA in the second quarter and the NCAA Division I Men's Championship Basketball Tournament for the first six months. Revenue growth also was driven by strength in news.

Content and other revenues increased due to higher third-party TV production and theatrical.

Direct costs increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, driven by higher programming and marketing costs for HBO Max and higher film and programming, including sports costs, and marketing resulting from the return of major sporting events versus last year’s second quarter that was impacted by sports cancellations resulting from the pandemic. Direct costs supporting DTC revenues were $1,894 and $3,579 for the three- and sixth-month periods of 2021, versus $1,361 and $2,272 in the year-ago periods.

General and administrative expenses increased in the second quarter and decreased for the first six months of 2021. The increase for the quarter was primarily due to lower bad debt expense in the second of quarter 2020, which resulted from

favorable collection experience that allowed us to reduce our pandemic-related bad debt estimates. The decrease for the first six months was primarily due to lower bad debt expense, and integration of support functions.

Operating contribution decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021. The WarnerMedia segment operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 28.4% in 2020 to 19.2% in 2021 and for the first six months decreased from 27.0% in 2020 to 21.1% in 2021.

Operating Results
Our Latin America operations conduct business in their local currency and operating results are converted to U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period, subjecting results to foreign currency fluctuations.

On July 21, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Vrio business to Grupo Werthein (see Note 8). We applied held-for-sale accounting to Vrio as of June 30, 2021 and continue to present the Vrio results within the Latin America segment.

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and slightly decreased for the first six months of 2021. The increase in the second quarter reflects growth in the Mexico wireless operations and favorable foreign exchange impacts, with improvements for Mexico more than offsetting pressure in Vrio. The decrease for the first six months is primarily driven by foreign exchange impacts in Argentina for Vrio, partially offset by growth in our Mexico wireless operations and improvements in Mexico’s foreign exchange impacts.
Operating contribution improved in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, reflecting foreign exchange rates. Our Latin America segment operating income margin in the second quarter increased from (17.0)% in 2020 to (10.7)% in 2021, and for the first six months increased from (14.1)% in 2020 to (11.5)% in 2021.

Service revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, reflecting improvements in foreign exchange and COVID-19 related store closures in the prior year.

Equipment revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, driven by higher equipment sales volumes and improvements in foreign exchange.

Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, primarily due to an increase in customer growth, higher sales volumes and foreign exchange impacts. Approximately 6% of Mexico expenses are U.S. dollar based, with the remainder in the local currency.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021, reflecting higher in-service assets and, for the second quarter, foreign exchange impacts.

OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

Spectrum Auction On February 24, 2021, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that AT&T was the winning bidder for 1,621 C-Band licenses, comprised of a total of 80 MHz nationwide, including 40 MHz in Phase I. We provided to the FCC an upfront deposit of $550 in 2020 and cash payments totaling $22,856 in the first quarter of 2021, for a total of $23,406 to date. The licenses were granted by the FCC in July 2021 and remain subject to clearing. We estimate that we will be responsible for $955 of Incentive Payments upon clearing of Phase I spectrum, expected by the end of 2021 and $2,112 upon clearing of Phase II spectrum, expected by the end of 2023. Additionally, we will be responsible for approximately $1,000 of compensable relocation costs over the next several years as the spectrum is being cleared by satellite operators. (See Note 8)

Video Business On July 31, 2021, we closed our transaction with TPG to form a new company named DIRECTV (New DTV), which is jointly governed by a board with representation from both AT&T and TPG, with TPG having tie-breaking authority on certain key decisions. We began accounting for our investment in New DTV under the equity method, effective August 1, 2021. After the close of the transaction, New DTV issued $6,200 of long-term debt on August 2, 2021.

In connection with the transaction, we contributed our U.S. Video business unit to New DTV for $4,250 of junior preferred units, an additional distribution preference of $4,200 and a 70% economic interest in common units (collectively “equity considerations”). Upon close, we received approximately $7,130 in cash from New DTV ($7,600, net of $470 cash on hand) and transferred $195 of DIRECTV debt. TPG contributed approximately $1,800 in cash to New DTV for $1,800 of senior preferred units and a 30% economic interest in common units. As part of this transaction, we agreed to pay net losses under the NFL SUNDAY TICKET contract up to a cap of $2,100 over the remaining period of the contract. (See Note 8)

Due to the timing of the transaction, the separation of shared operations, and finalization of commercial and transition service arrangements, our assessment of the third-quarter 2021 financial impacts of the sale is ongoing.

Under separate transition services agreements, we will provide New DTV certain operational support for up to three years. We also have entered into commercial arrangements, for up to five years, to provide network transport for U-verse products and sales services.

WarnerMedia On May 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement to combine our WarnerMedia segment, subject to certain exceptions, with a subsidiary of Discovery, Inc. (Discovery). The agreement is structured as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, under which WarnerMedia will be distributed to AT&T’s shareholders via a pro rata dividend, an exchange offer, or a combination of both, followed by its combination with Discovery. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to AT&T and AT&T’s shareholders. AT&T will receive approximately $43,000 (subject to adjustment) in a combination of cash, debt securities, and WarnerMedia’s retention of certain debt; and AT&T’s shareholders will receive stock representing approximately 71% of the new company; Discovery shareholders will own approximately 29% of the new company. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2022, subject to approval by Discovery shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. No vote is required by AT&T shareholders.

The merger agreement contains certain customary termination rights for AT&T and Discovery, including, without limitation, a right for either party to terminate if the transaction is not completed on or before July 15, 2023. Termination under specified circumstances will require Discovery to pay AT&T a termination fee of $720 or AT&T to pay Discovery a termination fee of $1,770.

Magallanes, Inc. (Spinco), a subsidiary of AT&T, entered into a $41,500 commitment letter (Bridge Loan) on May 17, 2021. On June 4, 2021, Spinco entered into a $10,000 term loan credit agreement (Spinco Term Loan) and reduced the aggregate commitment amount under the Bridge Loan to $31,500. There have been no draws on the Bridge Loan or the Spinco Term Loan. In the event advances are made under the Bridge Loan or Spinco Term Loan, those advances will be used by Spinco to finance a portion of the cash distribution to AT&T in connection with the transaction.

Also, on June 23, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell WarnerMedia’s mobile games app studio, Playdemic Ltd. (Playdemic), to Electronic Arts (EA) for approximately $1,400 in cash. Playdemic was excluded from the pending WarnerMedia/Discovery transaction. In the second quarter of 2021, we classified Playdemic as held-for-sale and included $564 of goodwill in “Prepaid and other current assets” on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. This transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by the end of 2021.

Vrio On July 21, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Latin America video operations, Vrio, to Grupo Werthein. In the second quarter of 2021, we classified the Vrio disposal group as held-for-sale and reported the disposal group at fair value less cost to sell, which resulted in a noncash, pre-tax impairment charge of $4,555, including approximately $2,100 related to accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments and $2,500 related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Approximately $80 of the impairment was attributable to noncontrolling interest. At June 30, 2021, our consolidated balance sheet included $883 of Vrio held-for-sale assets reported in “Prepaid and other current assets,” primarily related to deferred customer contract acquisition and fulfillment costs, prepaids and other deferred charges, and $2,849 of related liabilities reported in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities,” primarily for reserves associated with accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments, which will reverse against accumulated other comprehensive income upon close of the transaction.

The transaction is expected to close in early 2022, pending customary closing conditions. We will retain our 41.3% interest in SKY Mexico, a leading pay-TV provider in Mexico.

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. Over the past several years, 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 order is pending.

Some states have adopted legislation or issued executive orders that would reimpose net neutrality rules repealed by the FCC. Suits have been filed concerning such laws in two states.

Privacy-related legislation continues to be adopted or considered in a number of jurisdictions. 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 The industry-wide deployment of 5G technology, which is needed to satisfy extensive demand for video and internet access, will involve significant deployment of “small cell” equipment and therefore increase the need for local permitting processes that allow for the placement of small cell equipment on reasonable timelines and terms. Between 2018 and 2020, the FCC adopted multiple Orders streamlining federal wireless structure review processes and limiting state and local review processes, each with the potential to delay and impede deployment of infrastructure used to provide telecommunications and

broadband services, including small cell equipment. The key elements of these orders have been affirmed on judicial review, although two Orders limiting state and local review are pending judicial review and/or FCC reconsideration.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had $11,869 in cash and cash equivalents available at June 30, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents included cash of $3,867 and money market funds and other cash equivalents of $8,002. Approximately $2,559 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.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $2,129 since December 31, 2020. In the first six months of 2021, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations, including cash from our sale and transfer of our receivables to third parties, and issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper. These inflows were offset by cash used to meet the needs of the business, including, but not limited to, payment of operating expenses, spectrum acquisitions, funding capital expenditures and vendor financing payments, and dividends to stockholders.

Our cash and debt management over the remainder of the year will be impacted by the WarnerMedia/Discovery transaction, including the IRS private letter ruling process. During this time, it is likely that our cash and cash equivalent balances will increase above historical thresholds, including cash received from our recently completed U.S. video business transaction.

Cash Provided by or Used in Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2021, cash provided by operating activities was $20,837, compared to $20,925 for the first six months of 2020, impacted by content investment and the timing of working capital payments. Total cash paid for WarnerMedia’s content investment was $9,769 in the first six months of 2021 ($2,550 higher than the prior-year comparable period).

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. In addition, for payments to a key supplier, as part of our working capital initiatives, we have arrangements that allow us to extend payment terms up to 90 days at an additional cost to us (referred to as supplier financing). The net impact of supplier financing was to decrease cash from operating activities $1,256 and $1,452 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All supplier financing payments are due within one year.

Cash Used in or Provided by Investing Activities
For the first six months of 2021, cash used in investing activities totaled $30,631, and consisted primarily of $7,992 for capital expenditures, and acquisitions of $23,169, which include C-Band spectrum licenses won in Auction 107 and associated capitalized interest.
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 2021, vendor financing payments were $2,994, compared to $1,354 for the first six months of 2020. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2021 were $7,992, and when including $2,994 cash paid for vendor financing, gross capital investment was $10,986 ($121 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 2021, we placed $1,778 of equipment in service under vendor financing arrangements (compared to $1,680 in the prior-year comparable period) and $450 of assets related to the FirstNet build (compared to $640 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
For the first six months of 2021, cash provided by financing activities totaled $11,900 and was comprised of debt issuances and repayments, payments of dividends, and vendor financing payments.

The weighted average interest rate of our entire long-term debt portfolio, including term loans and the impact of derivatives, was approximately 3.8% as of June 30, 2021 and 4.1% as of December 31, 2020. We had $171,445 of total notes and debentures outstanding at June 30, 2021, which included Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, and Swiss franc denominated debt that totaled approximately $43,932.

At June 30, 2021, we had $24,016 of debt maturing within one year, consisting of $6,571 of commercial paper borrowings, $9,100 of bank borrowings, and $8,345 of long-term debt issuances. Debt maturing within one year includes an accreting zero-coupon note that may be redeemed each May until maturity in 2022. If the remainder of the zero-coupon note (issued for principal of $500 in 2007 and partially exchanged in the 2017 debt exchange offers) is held to maturity, the redemption amount will be $592.

For the first six months of 2021, we paid $2,994 of cash under our vendor financing program, compared to $1,354 in the first six months of 2020. Total vendor financing payables included in our June 30, 2021 consolidated balance sheet were $2,948, with $2,149 due within one year (in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”) and the remainder predominantly due within two to three years (in “Other noncurrent liabilities”).

At June 30, 2021, we had approximately 178 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 $7,571 during the first six months of 2021, compared with $7,474 for the first six months of 2020.
Dividends on common stock declared by our Board of Directors totaled $1.04 per share in the first six months of 2021 and 2020. Our dividend policy considers the expectations and requirements of stockholders, capital funding requirements of AT&T and long-term growth opportunities. We do not expect changes to our dividend policy prior to the close of the pending WarnerMedia and Discovery transaction, which is expected to close in mid-2022. After close and subject to AT&T Board approval, we anticipate an annual dividend level of approximately $8,000 to $9,000 per year.

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. In November 2020, we amended one of our $7,500 revolving credit agreements by extending the termination date. In total, we have two $7,500 revolving credit agreements, totaling $15,000, with one terminating on December 11, 2023 and the other terminating on November 17, 2025. No amounts were outstanding under either agreement as of June 30, 2021.

On January 29, 2021, we entered into a $14,700 Term Loan Credit Agreement (2021 Syndicated Term Loan), with Bank of America, N.A., as agent. On March 23, 2021, we borrowed $7,350 under the 2021 Syndicated Term Loan and the remaining $7,350 of lenders’ commitments were terminated. As of June 30, 2021, $7,350 was outstanding and is due on March 22, 2022.

In March 2021, we entered into and drew on a $2,000 term loan credit agreement (BAML Bilateral Term Loan) consisting of (i) a 0.75 year $1,000 facility due December 31, 2021 (BAML Tranche A Facility), and (ii) a 1.75 year $1,000 facility due December 31, 2022 (BAML Tranche B Facility), with Bank of America, N.A., as agent. At June 30, 2021, $2,000 was outstanding under these facilities.

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 4.0-to-1 for the 2021 Syndicated Term Loan, BAML Bilateral Term Loan, and revolving credit agreements and 3.5-to-1 for all other credit agreements. As of June 30, 2021, 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 over 95% of our approximate $43,000 derivative portfolio, counterparties are still required to post collateral. During the first six months of 2021, we deposited approximately $300 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) and stockholders’ equity. Our capital structure does not include debt issued by our equity method investments. At June 30, 2021, our debt ratio was 50.0%, compared to 46.6% at June 30, 2020 and 46.7% at December 31, 2020. Our net debt ratio was 46.7% at June 30, 2021, compared to 41.9% at June 30, 2020 and 43.8% at December 31, 2020. The debt ratio is affected by the same factors that affect total capital, and reflects our recent debt issuances and repayments and debt acquired in business combinations.
On July 31, 2021, we closed our transaction with TPG to form a new company named DIRECTV, which is jointly governed by a board with representation from both AT&T and TPG. Upon close, we received approximately $7,130 in cash from New DTV ($7,600, net of $470 cash on hand) and transferred $195 of DIRECTV debt. (See Note 8)

On May 17, 2021, we entered into an agreement to combine our WarnerMedia segment with a subsidiary of Discovery. The transaction is anticipated to close in mid-2022, subject to approval by Discovery shareholders and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. We expect to receive $43,000 (subject to adjustment) in a combination of cash, debt securities, and WarnerMedia’s retention of certain debt. (See Note 8)

On May 17, 2021, in anticipation of the separation of WarnerMedia business from us, Spinco, a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a $41,500 commitment letter (Bridge Loan). On June 4, 2021, Spinco entered into a $10,000 term loan credit agreement (Spinco Term Loan) consisting of (i) an 18 month $3,000 tranche (Tranche 1 Facility), and (ii) a 3 year $7,000 tranche (Tranche 2 Facility), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent. In connection with the execution of the Spinco Term Loan, the aggregate commitment amount under the Bridge Loan was reduced to $31,500. No amounts were outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Dollars in millions except per share amounts

At June 30, 2021, we had no interest rate swaps.
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 $42,186 to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These derivatives have been designated at inception and qualify as cash flow or fair value hedges with a net fair value of $(1,351) at June 30, 2021. We had no rate locks at June 30, 2021.
We have foreign exchange contracts with a U.S. dollar notional value of $516 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, cash flow hedges and economic (nonqualifying) hedges with a total net fair value of $(10) at June 30, 2021.
We have designated €1,450 million aggregate principal amount of debt as a hedge of the variability of some of the Euro-denominated net investments of our subsidiaries.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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, 2021. 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, 2021.
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. 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 in the markets served by us or in countries in which we have significant investments and/or operations, including 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; competition policy; privacy; net neutrality; multichannel video programming distributor services and equipment; content licensing and 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.
Potential changes to the electromagnetic spectrum currently used for broadcast television and satellite distribution being considered by the FCC could negatively impact WarnerMedia’s ability to deliver linear network feeds of its domestic cable networks to its affiliates, and in some cases, WarnerMedia’s ability to produce high-value news and entertainment programming on location.
U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding intellectual property rights protection and privacy, personal data protection and user consent 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.
The ability of our competitors to 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, economic and political instability and public health emergencies.
The continued development and delivery of attractive and profitable wireless, video and broadband offerings and devices, and, in particular, the success of our new HBO Max platform; 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.
Our ability to generate subscription and advertising revenue from attractive video content, especially from WarnerMedia, in the face of unpredictable and rapidly evolving public viewing habits and legal restrictions on using personal data for advertising.
The availability and cost and our ability to adequately fund additional wireless spectrum and network upgrades; 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 issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting oversight bodies of new accounting standards or changes to existing standards.
Changes in our corporate strategies to respond to competition and regulatory, legislative and technological developments.
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.

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.

The proposed separation and combination of our WarnerMedia business with Discovery may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline or at all.

On May 17, 2021, we announced a definitive agreement with Discovery, Inc. (Discovery) to combine our WarnerMedia business with Discovery (the “WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction”), which, if consummated, would result in our stockholders owning 71% of the combined company’s Discovery’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis (computed using the treasury stock method). The WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction is expected to close in mid-2022, subject to certain customary closing conditions including, among others, the approval of Discovery’s stockholders, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the separation of the WarnerMedia business and certain related transactions will qualify for tax-free treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Private Letter Ruling”).

There can be no assurance that such closing conditions will be satisfied or waived, or that the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction will be consummated. Required regulatory approvals and the Private Letter Ruling may not be received in a timely manner or at all. Further, while we have entered into voting agreements with certain stockholders of Discovery representing, in the aggregate, approximately 43% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Discovery capital stock as of May 14, 2021, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favor of certain aspects of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction, we cannot assure you that the approval of Discovery’s stockholders will be obtained. We and Discovery may be subject to shareholder lawsuits, or other actions filed in connection with or in opposition to the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction, which could prevent or delay the consummation of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction.

If the distribution of WarnerMedia, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then we could be subject to significant tax liability.

The Private Letter Ruling, if obtained, would rely on certain facts, representations and undertakings made by us, WarnerMedia and Discovery. Accordingly, the Internal Revenue Service or another applicable tax authority could determine on audit that the distribution by us of WarnerMedia to our stockholders and certain related transactions should be treated as taxable transactions if it determines that any of these facts, representations or undertakings are incorrect or have been violated. We may be entitled to indemnification from Discovery in the case of certain breaches of representations or undertakings by Discovery under the tax matters agreement related to the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction. However, we could potentially be required to pay such tax prior to reimbursement from Discovery, and such indemnification is subject to Discovery’s credit risk. If the Internal Revenue Service or another tax authority were to so conclude, there could be a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, in the event that we are unable to effectuate a Spinco Debt Exchange, we could incur significant incremental tax liability associated with the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction. If certain conditions are met, Discovery generally will be responsible for 50% of such incremental tax liability that does not exceed $4 billion. For more information regarding the Spinco Debt Exchange, refer to the risk factor titled “Even if the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction is completed, we may not realize some or all of the expected benefits of the transaction.” below.

The announcement and pendency of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction could cause disruptions in our business.

The WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction will require significant amounts of time and effort which could divert management’s attention from operating, growing our business and other strategic endeavors. Further, our employees may be distracted due to uncertainty regarding their future roles with us or the WarnerMedia business pending the consummation of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction. In the event that the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction does not close, we will be required to bear a number of non-recurring costs in connection with the transaction, including financial, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses, reorganization and restructuring costs, severance/employee benefit-related expenses, regulatory and SEC filing fees and expenses, printing expenses and other related charges. Until the consummation or termination of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction, we are also required to operate the WarnerMedia business in the ordinary course and we are restricted from taking certain specified actions with respect to our WarnerMedia business without Discovery’s consent. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our operating results.

Even if the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction is completed, we may not realize some or all of the expected benefits of the transaction.

Even if the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction is completed, the anticipated operational, financial, strategic and other benefits of such transaction to the Company and our stockholders may not be achieved. There are many factors that could impact the anticipated benefits from the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction, including, among others, strategic adjustments required to reflect the nature of our business following the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction and any negative reaction to the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction by our customers and business partners. In addition, we have agreed to provide certain transition services to the combined company, which may result in additional expenses and may divert our focus and resources that would otherwise be invested into maintaining or growing our businesses.

In connection with the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction, we will receive approximately $43 billion, subject to certain adjustments, in the form of a combination of (i) the assumption by the WarnerMedia business of certain existing debt, (ii) a cash dividend distributed to us from the WarnerMedia business (the “Spinco Special Cash Payment”), and (iii) debt instruments of the WarnerMedia business (the “Spinco Debt Distribution”). We expect to deliver such debt instruments of WarnerMedia in exchange for certain of our outstanding debt obligations (the “Spinco Debt Exchange”), and to use the proceeds of the Spinco Special Cash Payment to repay certain of our other outstanding debt obligations. This process will be complex and may require significant time and resources. Depending on various variables (such as interest rates and timing) at the time of the Spinco Debt Exchange, AT&T’s transaction costs relating to the Spinco Debt Exchange may be significantly higher than expected. Additionally, if market conditions change in advance of the Spinco Debt Exchange such that it is no longer feasible for the WarnerMedia business to issue debt securities with a fair market value at least equal to their face value, we may be required to take an additional distribution of cash from the WarnerMedia business in lieu of effecting the Spinco Debt Exchange, which could result in potentially significant incremental tax liability. If certain conditions are met, Discovery generally will be responsible for 50% of such incremental tax liability that does not exceed $4 billion.

An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction, as well as any delays encountered in the process, could have an adverse effect on our revenues, level of expenses and operating results.

In connection with the separation of the WarnerMedia business and the recently completed transaction involving our Video business unit, certain liabilities will be or were allocated to or retained by us and we will be subject to indemnification obligations in respect of those liabilities.

In connection with the separation of the WarnerMedia business and the recently completed transaction involving our Video business unit (the “DTV Transaction”), we have agreed to assume or retain, and indemnify the WarnerMedia business and the Video business unit for, certain liabilities. Payments pursuant to these indemnities may be significant and could negatively impact our business, particularly indemnities relating to our actions that could impact the tax-free nature of the distribution of the WarnerMedia business. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any liabilities allocated to the WarnerMedia business and the Video business unit and such third parties could seek damages, other monetary penalties (whether civil or criminal) and other remedies.

The separation of the WarnerMedia business and the Video business unit may result in an increase in our costs and expenses.

Following the consummation of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction and the DTV Transaction, we will no longer benefit from economies of scale and synergies we currently have or expected to realize between our WarnerMedia business, our Video business unit and our remaining businesses, including through intercompany arrangements and combined agreements with third parties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue any of these arrangements, or that any such continuing arrangements will be on the same or more favorable terms, following the separation of the WarnerMedia business and the Video business unit. As a result, our costs and expenses may increase following the consummation of the WarnerMedia/Discovery Transaction and the DTV Transaction.
