SBC Moves to Segment Reporting
In line with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131
(FAS 131), SBC will disclose 1998 fourth-quarter and year-end financial
results using segment reporting guidelines. This Investor Briefing defines
SBC's segment structure and provides historical financial results including
SNET on a segment basis.
The goal of FAS 131 is to help shareowners and others better analyze the
financial performance of a public company's different businesses or operating
segments. As a result, FAS 131 requires companies to report financial
performance based on:
o How management organizes its operating segments
o How management internally evaluates segment financial performance
Summary of Segment Reporting's Impact:
SBC will report results for four operating segments - Wireline, Wireless,
Directory and Other - in accordance with FAS 131. SBC will also have
non-operating segment amounts that reconcile operating segment results to
consolidated SBC results.
As in the past, SBC's Investor Briefings will contain consolidated income
statements with both reported and normalized results down to net income.
However, SBC's Investor Briefings will now provide segment income statements
that end at income before income taxes and that have been adjusted for
normalizing items.1
Other effects of segment reporting include the following changes to SBC's
quarterly Investor Briefings:
o No separate results or discussion will be provided for Southwestern
Bell and Pacific Bell.
o Reported results including special items will be available only for
consolidated SBC.
o Wireless and Directory operations will be discussed in greater detail
than before.
1 Because SBC manages its segments based on normalized income before income
taxes, this approach for presenting segment results follows FAS 131
requirements which state that disclosures should mirror how management looks
at financial performance in order to make operating decisions.
The following financial schedules are intended to assist shareowners and
analysts in modeling SBC by providing historical financial and operational
results on a segment basis. The financial schedules include other
restatements for all periods as highlighted below.
Other Changes Included in Financial Statements:
o Results reflect the Southern New England Telecommunications
(SNET) merger as a pooling of interests and include conforming accounting
changes related to pension and postretirement benefits at SNET.
o Reclassification of all Cost of Services and Products expenses and
Selling, General and Administrative expenses to Operations and Support
expenses.
o Reclassification of voice messaging revenues from Other Revenues to
Local Service.
o Reclassification of amounts collected for gross receipt taxes from
Local Service revenue to Operations and Support expense to net with gross
receipt remittances.
o Reclassification of federal USF payments from Operations and Support
expense to Network Access revenue to net all USF activity.
o Reclassification of Wireless Local Service revenue and wireless-related
Long Distance revenue to Wireless Subscriber revenue on SBC consolidated
income statements.
