Financial Data and Key Metrics Changes - Total operating revenues decreased by 3% year over year, impacted by divestitures and declines in commercial and wholesale revenue, as well as decreases in residential video and voice connections [44] - Free cash flow for Q1 2025 was $79 million, an increase of $18 million compared to the same quarter last year [13][19] - Cash expenses increased by 6% or $11 million compared to the prior year, with $4 million of this increase attributed to a cumulative non-cash adjustment to stock-based compensation [44] Business Line Data and Key Metrics Changes - Postpaid handset results showed year-over-year improvements, while third-party tower revenues increased by 6% due to new co-locations and escalators on renewed leases [12] - Fiber service addresses grew by 6% year over year, with 14,000 new addresses delivered in the quarter [33][42] - Residential broadband net additions were 2,800, with 8,300 coming from fiber markets, lower than prior quarters due to timing of service address delivery [34][38] Market Data and Key Metrics Changes - The company continues to face aggressive promotional competition in the wireless industry, with competitors offering multi-year price locks and aggressive pricing [14] - Demand for higher broadband speeds remains strong, with 82% of residential broadband customers taking 100 megabits or higher and 24% taking one gig or higher at the end of the quarter [42] Company Strategy and Development Direction - The company is focused on completing the proposed transaction with T-Mobile, which is expected to close in mid-2025, and is preparing for a smooth transition [9][16] - A special dividend to shareholders is anticipated following the closing of the T-Mobile transaction, with proceeds expected to be used to repay outstanding bank debt [10][18] - The fiber program has expanded the company's footprint by over 30% in the last three years, with further growth opportunities identified [11] Management's Comments on Operating Environment and Future Outlook - Management acknowledged increased uncertainties in the broader economy and markets but remains optimistic about the long-term potential of the tower business and fiber expansion [7][12] - The company is focused on cost optimization and expects capital expenditures to decline in 2025 as planned 5G coverage builds are largely completed [13][46] - Management expressed confidence in achieving $100 million in annual cost savings by the end of 2028 through transformation efforts [35][72] Other Important Information - The company does not plan to redeem Series UU and Series BV preferred stock, viewing them as foundational capital for future operations [10][68] - The expected cash income tax obligations related to the T-Mobile transaction are estimated to be between $225 million and $325 million [28][30] Q&A Session Summary Question: Timeline for designated entity spectrum approval - The timing is uncertain and dependent on regulatory approval by the FCC, but there is optimism for a positive outcome [52][54] Question: Free cash flow run rate - The $79 million in free cash flow is not necessarily a run rate, but capital expenditures are expected to be down in 2025, which is positive for free cash flow [55] Question: Debt exchange offer impact - The debt exchange offer will be launched about 50 days before the anticipated close, and the amount of debt exchanged will impact transaction proceeds [56][110] Question: Fiber net adds and sales efforts - Fiber net additions were lower due to timing of address delivery, but management expects improvements as construction activity ramps up [60][62] Question: Divestiture strategy and criteria - The company is focused on divesting non-core assets, particularly isolated copper markets without an economic path to fiber, ensuring that net proceeds exceed the present value of cash flows from continued operations [95][96]

AT&T Stock Is Back to Multiyear Highs. Time to Buy?
The Motley Fool· 2025-04-29 10:15
Core Viewpoint - AT&T's stock is experiencing a positive outlook, trading at its highest levels since 2019, following a challenging period marked by a dividend cut in 2022 after 35 consecutive years of increases [1][5]. Company Focus and Strategy - AT&T has shifted its focus exclusively to wireless and fiber services, correcting previous costly mistakes from acquisitions like DirecTV and Time Warner, which were sold at significant losses [2][3]. - In Q1, AT&T reported 324,000 postpaid wireless net additions and 261,000 net additions in its fiber business, indicating a successful strategy [3]. Financial Performance - In Q1, AT&T generated nearly $31 billion in revenue, reflecting a modest 2% year-over-year growth, while net income attributable to AT&T was just under $4.4 billion, marking a 26% annual increase [4]. - The company faced rising costs and expenses, but $1.4 billion in equity from net income of affiliates contributed positively to its profits [4]. Dividend and Cash Flow - AT&T currently offers a dividend of $1.11 per share annually, resulting in a dividend yield of 4.1%, significantly higher than the S&P 500's average of 1.4% [5][10]. - The dividend cost the company $2.1 billion in Q1, but with over $3.1 billion in free cash flow, AT&T has sufficient cash for dividends and other purposes [5]. Debt Management - AT&T holds a total debt of $126 billion, which is substantial compared to its $120 billion in book value, but has made progress by paying off over $7 billion in debt over the last year [6]. Stock Performance - Over the past year, AT&T's stock has increased by nearly 75%, reaching levels close to its highest since the pandemic began, and remains relatively inexpensive with a P/E ratio of 19 [7]. - The stock has outperformed T-Mobile, which trades at 27 times earnings, while AT&T's dividend yield of 4.1% is significantly higher than T-Mobile's 1.2% [8][10]. Investment Considerations - Given its recent performance, both income and growth investors have reasons to consider AT&T stock, especially due to its high dividend yield and low P/E ratio [11][12]. - Despite being a mature company, the combination of a strong dividend and attractive valuation may present profitable opportunities for investors [12].
