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 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, 2024. 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.
The consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities (VIE) where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that we do not control but have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates of fair value, probable losses and expenses, 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 providing further disaggregation of activities within Cash from Operations in our consolidated statements of cash flows and additional revenue categories for our Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline business units (see Note 5).
Stock Repurchase Program In December 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $ 10,000 of AT&T common stock. We began buying back stock under this program in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had repurchased approximately 34 million shares totaling $ 958 under this authorization, excluding brokerage fees and the one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
To implement repurchase authorizations, we use open market repurchase programs, relying on Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 where feasible.
Tax Legislation On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We do not anticipate the legislation to materially impact our income tax expense, but expect that it will have a material impact on cash taxes paid relative to our expectations.

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 have two reportable segments: Communications and Latin America.
Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Our CODM uses operating income to evaluate performance and allocate resources, including capital allocations, when managing the business. Our CODM manages operations through the review of actual and forecasted “Operations and Support Expenses” information at a segment and business unit level, with Communications and Latin America segments primarily evaluated on a direct cost basis and comprised of equipment, compensation, network and technology, sales, advertising and other costs.
Additionally, business unit expenses within the Communications segment include direct and shared costs. Direct costs are incurred in support of products and services offered by the business units, such as equipment costs (predominantly wireless devices), network access, rents, leases, sales support, customer provisioning and commission expenses. Shared costs amongst the business units generally include information technology, network engineering and construction costs, advertising and other general and administrative expenses.

Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs
Costs to acquire and fulfill customer contracts, including commissions on service activations for our Mobility, Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline services, are deferred and amortized over the contract period or expected customer relationship life, which typically ranges from three years to five years .

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., trade-in device credits) the difference between revenue recognized and consideration received is recorded as a contract asset to be amortized over the contract term.
Our contract assets primarily relate to our wireless businesses. Promotional equipment sales where we offer handset credits, which are allocated between equipment and service in proportion to their standalone selling prices, when customers commit to a

specified service period result in additional contract assets recognized. These contract assets will amortize over the service contract period, resulting in lower future service revenue.
When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. 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 2025 2024
Contract asset $ 7,198 $ 6,855

Contract liability 4,291 4,272
Current portion in “Advanced billings and customer deposits”
3,872 3,981
Our beginning of period contract liability recorded as customer contract revenue during 2025 was $ 3,515 .
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations 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 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 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, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 42,008 , of which we expect to recognize approximately 74 % by the end of 2026, with the balance recognized thereafter.
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 2025. We intend to voluntarily contribute approximately $ 1,500 to our pension plan by the end of 2026, with more than half of that in 2025.
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.

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, 2024.

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.

Our cash equivalents (money market securities) and short-term investments (certificate and time deposits) are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values. Short-term investments 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 most of our cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts 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. For cross-currency hedges, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the swap related to both time value and cross-currency basis spread from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. For foreign exchange contracts, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
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, including the earnings impact of excluded components. In instances where we have elected to exclude components from the assessment of hedge effectiveness 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 over the life of the hedging instrument. Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recorded at fair 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, 2025 and 2024, no ineffectiveness was measured on fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedging We designate some of our cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk generated from our foreign-denominated debt. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal from fixed foreign 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 denominated interest rate to a fixed U.S. dollar denominated interest rate.

Dollars in millions except per share amounts
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 $ 59 from accumulated OCI to “Interest expense” due to the amortization of net losses on historical interest rate locks.
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, 2025, we had posted collateral of $ 355 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $ 404 (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 $ 50 . 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 $ 1,312 . At December 31, 2024, we had posted collateral of $ 188 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $ 0 (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.

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 beneficial interests, such as deferred purchase price, when applicable, and (2) revolving trade receivables, which are sold for cash. Under the terms of our agreements for these programs, we continue to service the transferred receivables on behalf of the financial institutions.
The following table sets forth a summary of cash proceeds received, net of remittances paid, from sales of receivables:

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. In the event cash is received on the beneficial interests, those receipts are classified as cash flows from investing activities, when applicable.

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 beneficial interests. 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:

1 Receivables net of promotion credits.
2 Receivables net of allowance and other reserves.
Beneficial interests, when applicable, and guarantee obligations 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 contemplates changes in value after the launch of a device model. The fair value measurements used for the beneficial interests and the guarantee obligation are considered Level 3 under the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework (see Note 7).

Revolving Receivables Program
During 2025, we expanded our revolving agreement to transfer up to $ 2,940 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 or reduced 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 $ 234 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. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these receivables transferred is limited to the derecognized amount outstanding.

NOTE 9. TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTV
We account for our investment in DIRECTV under the equity method and record our share of DIRECTV earnings as equity in net income of affiliates, with DIRECTV considered a related party. On September 29, 2024, we agreed to sell our interest in DIRECTV to TPG Capital (TPG) for approximately $ 7,600 in cash payments.
Beginning in third-quarter 2024, our investment in DIRECTV was reduced to zero on our consolidated balance sheet, resulting from aggregate cash receipts exceeding our initial investment balance plus our cumulative equity in DIRECTV earnings. As we are not committed, implicitly or explicitly, to provide financial or other support to DIRECTV, we record cash distributions

At June 30, 2025 , we had accounts receivable from DIRECTV of $ 205 and accounts payable to DIRECTV of $ 50 .
On July 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our interest in DIRECTV to TPG. Upon close, we will record a current note receivable of approximately $ 3,600 , which we expect to receive the majority of by the end of 2025, and a long-term receivable of $ 500 . We expect to record a significant gain on the sale, whose amount will be dependent on transition service agreements, indemnifications and other tax items.
NOTE 10. SUPPLIER AND VENDOR FINANCING PROGRAMS
Supplier Financing Program
We actively manage the timing of our supplier payments for operating items to optimize the use of our cash and seek to make payments on 90-day or greater terms, while providing suppliers with access to bank facilities that permit earlier payment at their cost. Our supplier financing program does not result in changes to our normal, contracted payment cycles or cash from operations.
At the supplier’s election, they can receive payment of AT&T obligations prior to the scheduled due dates, at a discounted price from the third-party financial institution. The discounted price paid to participating suppliers is based on a variable rate that is indexed to the overnight borrowing rate. We agree to pay the financial institution the stated amount generally within 90 days of receipt of the invoice. We do not have pledged assets or other guarantees under our supplier financing program.
Suppliers had elected to sell to the third-party financial institutions $ 3,461 and $ 2,498 of our outstanding payment obligations as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our supplier financing programs are reported as operating or investing (when capitalizable) activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows when paid.
Direct Supplier Financing
We also have arrangements with suppliers of handset inventory that allow us to extend the stated payment terms by up to 90 days at an additional cost to us (variable rate extension fee). We had $ 4,235 of direct supplier financing outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and $ 6,272 as of December 31, 2024, which are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our direct supplier financing is reported as operating activities in our statements of cash flows when paid.
Vendor Financing
We enter into multi-year software licensing arrangements, which, consistent with industry standards, are paid over the license terms of two to five years. Additionally, in connection with capital improvements and the acquisition of other productive assets, we negotiate favorable payment terms of 120 days or more. We refer to these arrangements as vendor financing, with the

balances and activities including equipment and software arrangements. Vendor financing payments are reported as financing activities in our statements of cash flows when paid. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded vendor financing commitments of $ 831 and $ 523 , respectively. We had $ 1,916 of vendor financing payables at June 30, 2025, with $ 1,193 included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and $ 1,448 of vendor financing payables at December 31, 2024, with $ 749 included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.”

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting higher Mobility and Consumer Wireline revenues, partially offset by declines in Business Wireline and Mexico, which included unfavorable foreign exchange impacts .
Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher Mobility equipment costs resulting from increased wireless equipment sales volumes and higher network-related costs. These increases were partially offset by expense declines from our continued transformation efforts and higher restructuring charges in the prior year. Also contributing to decreases for the first six months was the absence of expenses from our cybersecurity business that was contributed to a new cybersecurity joint venture, LevelBlue, in the second quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades, partially offset by lower depreciation impacts from our Open RAN network modernization efforts.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our operating income margin in the second quarter increased from 19.3% in 2024 to 21.1% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 19.4% in 2024 to 19.9% in 2025.
Interest expense decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to lower debt balances, partially offset by lower capitalized interest associated with spectrum acquisitions.
Equity in net income of affiliates increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. The increases reflect cash distributions received by AT&T in excess of the carrying amount of our investment in DIRECTV (see Note 9). We sold our interest in DIRECTV to TPG Capital on July 2, 2025.

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

Other income (expense) – net increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. The increases were primarily due to a second-quarter 2025 gain on prior disposition, and for the first six months, first-quarter 2024 noncash impairment charges for a held-for-sale business and our SKY Mexico equity investment. Partially offsetting the increases were lower pension and postretirement benefit credits and lower returns on other benefit-related investments for the six-month period.
Other income (expense) - net in the third quarter of 2025, will include a gain recognized on our sale of DIRECTV, which we expect to be in the range of $5,500, dependent on transition service agreements, indemnifications and other tax items (see Note 9).
Income tax expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher income before income tax.
Our effective tax rate was 20.3% in the second quarter and 21.0% for the first six months of 2025, versus 22.4% and 22.7% in the comparable periods in the prior year, r eflecting larger discrete state tax benefits in 2025.

Operating revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by increases in our Mobility and Consumer Wireline business units, partially offset by declines in our Business Wireline business unit, which reflects lower demand for legacy services. Also offsetting revenue increases for the first six months was the absence of revenues from our cybersecurity business that was contributed to a new cybersecurity joint venture, LevelBlue, in the second quarter of 2024.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Communications segment operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 24.5% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 23.9% in 2024 to 23.7% in 2025. Our Communications EBITDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 41.2% in 2024 to 40.7% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 40.5% in 2024 to 40.6% in 2025.

1 Excludes migrations between wireless subscriber categories, including connected devices, and acquisition-related activity during the period.
2 In addition to postpaid phones, includes tablets and wearables and other. Tablet net adds (losses) were 63 and 64 for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and 59 and 52 for the first six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Wearables and other net adds (losses) were 15 and 110 for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and (15) and 162 for the first six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
3 Calculated by dividing the aggregate number of wireless subscribers who canceled service during a month 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 2025, largely due to postpaid phone average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) growth and subscriber gains.
ARPU
ARPU increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting pricing actions and customers migrating to higher priced plans.
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 higher in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by a normalization of customers reaching the end of their equipment promotional plans and increased competition.
Equipment revenue increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by higher wireless device sales volumes.
Operations and support expenses increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to higher equipment costs driven by higher wireless sales volumes. The increase also reflected higher advertising due to the launch of a new campaign in the first quarter, promotion costs and network costs.
Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion, partially offset by lower depreciation impacts from our network modernization efforts.
Operating income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Mobility operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 32.8% in 2024 to 31.7% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 32.1% in 2024 to 31.5% in 2025. Our Mobility EBITDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 44.9% in 2024 to 43.4% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 44.2% in 2024 to 43.2% in 2025, driven by the increase in low margin equipment revenues.

Legacy and other transitional services revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by lower demand for legacy and VPN services, which we expect to continue. Revenue declines for the first six months also reflect the absence of revenues from our cybersecurity business that was contributed to LevelBlue in the second quarter of 2024. These revenue declines were partially offset by targeted pricing actions in the first quarter of 2025.
Fiber and advanced connectivity services revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by higher fiber and fixed wireless revenues.
Equipment revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025.
Operations and support expenses decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by lower personnel and customer support costs associated with ongoing transformation initiatives and lower network-related costs. Decreases for the first six months were also driven by the contribution of our cybersecurity business. As part of our transformation activities, we expect operations and support expense improvements through the remainder of 2025 as we further right size our operations in alignment with the strategic direction of the business.
Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital investment for strategic initiatives such as fiber, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2025.
Operating income decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025. Our Business Wireline operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 2.1% in 2024 to (4.7)% in 2025 and for the first six months decreased from 1.7% in 2024 to (3.4)% in 2025. Our Business Wireline EBITDA margin in the second quarter decreased from 31.3% in 2024 to 30.6% in 2025 and for the first six months increased from 30.1% in 2024 to 31.0% in 2025.

Broadband revenues increased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, driven by increases in fiber revenues of 18.9% and 19.0%. Higher fiber revenues reflect an increase in fiber customers, which we expect to continue as we invest further in building our fiber footprint, and higher ARPU. This increase was partially offset by declines in copper-based broadband services.
Legacy voice and data services revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in demand for these services in favor of other technologies, such as wireless and fiber services.
Other service and equipment revenues decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in the number of VoIP customers.
Operations and support expenses were flat in the second quarter and decreased for the first six months of 2025, primarily driven by lower customer support and content licensing costs, largely offset by higher network-related costs and higher marketing costs.

COMPETITIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Overview AT&T subsidiaries operating within the United States are subject to federal and state regulations. AT&T subsidiaries operating outside the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulations in the markets where service is provided. Complying with these regulations may affect our results of operations and cash flow, and compliance may be very costly.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We do not anticipate the legislation to materially impact our income tax expense, but expect that it will have a material impact on cash taxes paid.
For further discussion of regulations impacting AT&T and its subsidiaries, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Regulatory Landscape” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents included cash of $2,795 and money market funds and other cash equivalents of $7,704. Approximately $1,376 of our cash and cash equivalents were held in accounts outside of the U.S. and may be subject to restrictions on repatriation.
For the first six months of 2025, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations, including cash from our sale and transfer of our receivables to third parties, and distributions from DIRECTV. These inflows exceeded cash used to meet the needs of the business, including, but not limited to, payment of operating expenses, including higher device payments from higher sales volumes. The cash generated from operating activities was primarily used to fund capital improvements, make dividend payments to stockholders, repurchase preferred and common stock, and repay long-term debt. We maintain availability under our credit facilities and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $18,812, compared to $16,640 for the first six months of 2024, with increases resulting from higher cash flows related to DIRECTV, including a first-quarter 2025 dividend of $1,138, and operational growth.
