FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2005
ATLANTA — Cingular Wireless, which is a joint venture between SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE:SBC) and BellSouth Corporation (NYSE:BLS), today reported solid third-quarter results driven by expanded margins, progress on merger initiatives, growth of data ARPU, and continued strength in enterprise services.
For the quarter, the nation’s largest wireless provider had OIBDA margins, normalized to exclude merger-related integration costs and costs associated with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, of 31.6 percent, which represents a sequential improvement of 270 basis points. (OIBDA margin is operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, divided by total service revenues.) For the first time since its acquisition of AT&T Wireless, Cingular’s OIBDA margins were higher than in the comparable quarter in the prior year.
This strong showing in margins was in part the result of the company’s continued progress in its merger integration initiatives, which are on or ahead of schedule. For example, by the end of the year Cingular will have integrated its own and former AT&T Wireless GSM networks in 30 markets, created a single TDMA network in all its markets, and turned off the CDPD network.
Cingular’s data ARPU improved 4.1 percent sequentially to $4.33, and the company’s Business Markets Group signed up more than 700 new high-end service contracts in the quarter.
Gross subscriber additions continued to be strong at 4.4 million. Net additions were 867 thousand, which was 7.3 percent higher than pro forma net additions in the year-ago third quarter. Postpaid net additions were up by 56 percent compared to the year-ago third quarter. (Pro forma results reflect the acquisition of AT&T Wireless, plus related acquisitions and dispositions, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2003.) Cingular ended the third quarter of 2005 with 52.3 million cellular/PCS subscribers.

Monthly subscriber churn was 2.3 percent, which was a sequential increase of 10 basis points, and post-paid churn was 2.0 percent, which was a sequential increase of 20 basis points. Churn results reflect seasonal patterns and a relatively high number of contract expirations in the quarter, the company noted.
“Next Wednesday, October 26, marks the first anniversary of Cingular’s life as the largest wireless company in the United States, and our third-quarter results show once again that we are making solid progress delivering on the promise of the merger,” said Stan Sigman, Cingular’s president and chief executive officer.
“I am pleased with our continued improvement in margins, with the performance of our enterprise business, and with our steady stream of new and innovative offers for consumers. Though we of course have not yet realized all the benefits of the merger, we are already ahead of where we planned to be on the journey. In just a year we have added nearly 5 million customers, significantly boosted our margins, improved churn, and delivered positive financial performance.
“Several members of Cingular’s senior team took a very different journey last month to Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas to view first-hand the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We saw destruction and devastation that go far beyond what anyone ever wants to see. We also watched with awe and gratitude the work of the people of Cingular to restore our service and facilities and to help their colleagues and communities in need. These are the men and women who every day are transforming the country’s biggest wireless company into the best,” Sigman said.
Strong gross additions and continued retention of former AT&T Wireless customers
Cingular’s “more bars in more places” (SM) and ALLOVER (SM) network messages continue to resonate with our customers as well as with the customers of our competitors, driving Cingular’s strong showing in gross subscriber additions. In addition, the company continued to transition its customer base to GSM and move former AT&T Wireless customers to Cingular plans
During the third quarter, 82 percent of Cingular’s subscriber base was GSM-equipped, up from 78 percent in the second quarter of 2005. More than 6 percent of Cingular’s customer base upgraded handsets during the quarter — almost entirely onto GSM.
Cingular has now converted nearly 6 million former AT&T Wireless subscribers to new Cingular plans as customers continued to respond positively to Cingular’s broad network coverage and innovative products and services.
Cingular operates the nation’s largest digital voice and data network, and 93 percent of the company’s total minutes are now carried on its GSM network. GSM is the world’s most widely used wireless technology. Through roaming alliances with other GSM-based providers around the world, Cingular provides the largest global presence of any U.S. wireless carrier, with coverage in nearly 180 countries.

Financial Results
| | | | |
| | n | | In the third quarter, Cingular’s revenues were $8.7 billion, which is an improvement of 6.2 percent over pro forma revenue of $8.2 billion during the year-ago third quarter and up 1.6 percent versus the second quarter of this year. (Revenues were reduced in the quarter by $31 million in credits given to Cingular customers in areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.) |
| | | | |
| | n | | Average revenue per user (ARPU) in the quarter was $49.65, which was down 5.2 percent from pro forma ARPU in the year-ago third quarter. ARPU continued to be adversely affected primarily by the transition of customers to lower-priced GSM plans, the ongoing popularity of FamilyTalk® plans, and the impact of Rollover (SM) plans, though these impacts were partially offset by a continued increase in data ARPU. (Adjusted for hurricane-related customer credits, ARPU would have been 20 cents higher at $49.85 and the year-over-year decline would have been 4.8 percent.) |
| | | | |
| | n | | ARPU from data services continued its strong growth in the third quarter, increasing 4.1 percent to $4.33 compared to $4.16 in the second quarter of this year. This growth was spurred by the ever-increasing popularity of text messaging, mobile instant messaging, mobile e-mail, downloadable ringtones, games, photo messaging and media bundles. In the third quarter, Cingular had 22 million active data customers, and delivered 5.2 billion text messages and 60 million multi-media messages. |
| | | | |
| | n | | Cingular’s reported third-quarter operating expenses were $8.1 billion. These included merger-related integration costs of $241 million and expenses of $96 million in connection with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Merger- and hurricane-related expenses reduced Cingular’s OIBDA by $245 million. In addition, operating expenses included $396 million in non-cash amortization of intangibles that were acquired as part of the merger with AT&T Wireless. |
| | | | |
| | n | | Reported OIBDA margin was 28.5 percent for the third quarter. Normalized to exclude merger-related integration costs and hurricane-related expenses, OIBDA margin was 31.6 percent — a sequential improvement of 270 basis points. |
| | | | |
| | n | | Reported operating income was $657 million, a sequential increase of 30 percent. Normalized to exclude merger-related integration costs and hurricane-related expenses, operating income for the third quarter was $994 million, a sequential increase of 40 percent. |
| | | | |
| | n | | Reported net income was $222 million compared to $147 million in the second quarter. Normalized to exclude merger-related integration costs and hurricane-related expenses, net income increased to $504 million compared to $317 million in the second quarter. |

Third-quarter highlights and initiatives
| | | | |
| | n | | Cingular’s Business Markets Group continued to introduce innovative new products, services, and alliances. These included, among many others, the EDGE-powered Nokia 9300, which comes with popular BlackBerryâ wireless services, and an alliance with Dell to bring Cingular’s 3G wireless broadband technology to Dell’s notebook computers. |
| | | | |
| | n | | In addition, the Business Markets Group also signed more than 700 new high-end service contracts during the quarter, including such business and government accounts as Xcel Energy, California Teachers Association, United States Marine Corps — Camp Lejeune, Conmed Corp., U.S. Navy Air Command, Hillsborough County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department, The Sports Authority, Flying J, Inc., and Sealy. |
| | | | |
| | n | | With Appleâ and Motorola, Cingular launched the first wireless phone with iTunesâ, enabling music lovers to transfer their favorite songs to their mobile phone. |
| | | | |
| | n | | The company announced a 10-year distribution agreement with RadioShack Corp. that will give Cingular more than 5,000 new sales outlets across the United States. |
| | | | |
| | n | | Cingular is still on track to launch UMTS/HSDPA in 15-20 markets by the end of 2005. UMTS with HSDPA provides superior speeds for data and video services, and it delivers outstanding operating efficiencies, using the same spectrum and infrastructure for voice and data. The cities of Dallas, Phoenix, and Seattle have already been upgraded to HSDPA. |

NM — Not Meaningful |

On February 18, 2005, our management and the Audit Committee of the board of directors of our Manager concluded that our financial statements for fiscal periods ending December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2003 and the first three interim periods of 2004 should be restated to correct certain errors relating to accounting for operating leases and that such previously filed financial statements should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, our network infrastructure venture with T-Mobile USA, Inc., GSM Facilities LLC, accounted for under the equity method, reached a similar conclusion with respect to operating leases, requiring correction and restatement of the venture’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Please see our 2004 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2005 for further information. |

Notes: |
|
1 | | OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA differs from operating income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in it excludes depreciation and amortization. It differs from net income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in that it excludes, as presented on our Consolidated Statement of Income: |
|
| | (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) minority interest expense, (4) equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, (5) other, net, and (6) provision (benefit) for income taxes. OIBDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. OIBDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our calculation of OIBDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
|
2 | | OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by service revenues. |
|
3 | | Cellular/PCS customers include customers served through reseller agreements. |
|
4 | | Cellular/PCS churn is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of cellular/PCS customers who cancel service during each month in a period by the total number of cellular/PCS customers. at the beginning of each month in that period. |
|
5 | | ARPU is defined as cellular/PCS service revenues during the period divided by average cellular/PCS customers during the period. |
|
6 | | Total Minutes Of Use Per Cellular/PCS Subscriber definition was changed effective with the 2Q05 reporting period. Prior to the change, the numerator was defined as Local Minutes of Use. Effective with this change, the numerator is now defined as including Local Minutes of Use and Outcollect Minutes of Use. |
|
7 | | Licensed POPs refers to the number of people residing in areas where we and our partners have licenses to provide cellular or PCS service including areas where we have not yet commenced service. |
|
8 | | Penetration calculation for 3Q05 is based on licensed “operational” POP’s of 286 million. |
|
9 | | Capital expenditures reflect GAAP disclosure and accordingly do not include cash/capital contributed to our previous joint ventures with T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless (pre-merger). |

Notes to Normalized Financial Data
| | |
* | | Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, include a reduction for depreciation and amortization for prior quarters of $51 million ($43 million net income impact), in connection with valuation adjustments recorded in the third quarter to assets acquired in the AT&T Wireless acquisition. The valuation adjustments to the AT&T Wireless assets were the result of integration plans approved in 2005. Of the $51 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expenses, $12 million ($10 million net income) relates to the fourth quarter of 2004. The impacts are not included in our normalized integration costs. |
|
| | On a YTD basis, depreciation true-ups (i.e. reduction to depreciation expense) associated with valuation and other purchase price allocation changes to PP&E acquired from AT&T Wireless include $35 million ($29 million net income) of impacts related to the fourth quarter of 2004. |
|
|
Our normalized earnings have been adjusted for the following: |
| | |
|
(1) | | Tax-effected integration costs resulting from the Cingular acquisition of AT&T Wireless. |
|
(2) | | Tax-effected operating costs resulting from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Approximately $31M in customer bill credits issued to customers affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita have not been normalized. If such customer bill credits had been normalized, ARPU would have increased to $49.85 (from $49.65) and the normalized OIBDA margin for the third quarter of 2005 would have increased to 31.9% (from 31.6%). |

On February 18, 2005, our management and the Audit Committee of the board of directors of our Manager concluded that our financial statements for fiscal periods ending December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2003 and the first three interim periods of 2004 should be restated to correct certain errors relating to accounting for operating leases and that such previously filed financial statements should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, our network infrastructure venture with T-Mobile USA, Inc., GSM Facilities LLC, accounted for under the equity method, reached a similar conclusion with respect to operating leases, requiring correction and restatement of the venture’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Please see our 2004 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2005 for further information. |

1 | | OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA differs from operating income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in it excludes depreciation and amortization. It differs from net income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in that it excludes, as presented on our Consolidated Statement of Income: |
|
| | (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) minority interest expense, (4) equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, (5) other, net, and (6) provision (benefit) for income taxes. OIBDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. OIBDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our calculation of OIBDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
|
2 | | OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by service revenues. |
|
3 | | Cellular/PCS customers include customers served through reseller agreements. |
|
4 | | Cellular/PCS churn is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of cellular/PCS customers who cancel service during each month in a period by the total number of cellular/PCS customers. at the beginning of each month in that period. |
|
5 | | ARPU is defined as cellular/PCS service revenues during the period divided by average cellular/PCS customers during the period. |
|
6 | | Total Minutes Of Use Per Cellular/PCS Subscriber definition was changed effective with the 2Q05 reporting period. Prior to the change, the numerator was defined as Local Minutes of Use. Effective with this change, the numerator is now defined as including Local Minutes of Use and Outcollect Minutes of Use. |
|
7 | | Licensed POPs refers to the number of people residing in areas where we and our partners have licenses to provide cellular or PCS service including areas where we have not yet commenced service. |
|
8 | | Penetration calculation for 3Q05 is based on licensed “operational” POP’s of 286 million. |
|
9 | | Capital expenditures reflect GAAP disclosure and accordingly do not include cash/capital contributed to our previous joint ventures with T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless (pre-merger). |

On February 18, 2005, our management and the Audit Committee of the board of directors of our Manager concluded that our financial statements for fiscal periods ending December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2003 and the first three interim periods of 2004 should be restated to correct certain errors relating to accounting for operating leases and that such previously filed financial statements should no longer be relied upon. Additionally, our network infrastructure venture with T-Mobile USA, Inc., GSM Facilities LLC, accounted for under the equity method, reached a similar conclusion with respect to operating leases, requiring correction and restatement of the venture’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Please see our 2004 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2005 for further information.
In 2003, to be consistent with industry practices, historical consolidated statements of income for all periods presented were reclassified to reflect billings to our customers for the Universal Service Fund (USF) and other regulatory fees as operating revenues and the costs related to payments into the associated regulatory funds as operating expenses. Similar reclassifications have also been made to 2003 and 2004 historical results for certain gross receipts taxes and other fees which are billed to our customers. Operating income and net income for all periods were unaffected.
Notes:
| | |
1 | | OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA differs from operating income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in it excludes depreciation and amortization. It differs from net income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in that it excludes, as presented on our Consolidated Statement of Income: (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) minority interest expense, (4) equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, (5) other, net, and (6) provision (benefit) for income taxes. OIBDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. OIBDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our calculation of OIBDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
|
2 | | OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA divided by service revenues. |
|
3 | | Cellular/PCS customers include customers served through reseller agreements. |
|
4 | | Cellular/PCS churn is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of cellular/PCS customers who cancel service during each month in a period by the total number of cellular/PCS customers at the beginning of each month in that period. |
|
5 | | ARPU is defined as cellular/PCS service revenues during the period divided by average cellular/PCS customers during the period. |
|
6 | | Total Minutes Of Use Per Cellular/PCS Subscriber definition was changed effective with the 2Q05 reporting period. Prior to the change, the numerator was defined as Local Minutes of Use. Effective with this change, the numerator is now defined as including Local Minutes of Use and Outcollect Minutes of Use. |
|
7 | | Licensed POPs refers to the number of people residing in areas where we and our partners have licenses to provide cellular or PCS service including areas where we have not yet commenced service. Licensed POPs have been restated in periods 4Q04 through 2Q05 due to reconciliation of respective licenses. Licensed POPs are based on estimated 2005 total US POPs of 297 million. |
|
8 | | Penetration calculation for 3Q05 is based on licensed “operational” POP’s of 286 million. |
|
9 | | Capital expenditures reflect GAAP disclosure and accordingly do not include cash/capital contributed to our previous joint ventures with T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless (pre-merger). |
Cingular Wireless LLC Income Statement, Normalized —amounts in millions (unaudited)
The normalized financial data presented below exclude the impact of integration costs that are cash outlays, or specified non-cash charges, directly related to the acquisition of AT&T Wireless. These costs would not have been incurred if not for the acquisition, as they support the utilization and/or disposal of the acquired assets. Integration costs are separately identifiable from business as usual outlays. In connection with certain rationalization plans approved by management, costs were recognized in the income statement during the second and third quarters of 2005. Purchase accounting impacts of the AT&T Wireless acquisition are not included in integration costs.
Examples of merger integration costs impacting expenses include (but are not limited to) the following:
| * | | Network rationalization (write-offs and accelerated depreciation related to certain “overlap” network assets) |
|
| * | | Sales distribution optimization (lease terminations, leasehold improvement write-offs/accelerated depreciation) |
|
| * | | Workforce rationalization (severance, relocation, retention) |
|
| * | | IT System/Application rationalization (system/platform consolidation, contract termination fees, third party support) |
|
| * | | Real Estate space rationalization (lease terminations, leasehold improvements write-offs and accelerated depreciation, contract termination fees) |
