Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31).
- Debt maturing within one year
- The proportion has fluctuated over the reported periods, initially declining from 3.13% in March 2020 to a low of 0.66% by December 2020. It surged again to peaks above 4% during 2021, then entered a downward trend, reaching 0.67% by September 2024 before increasing slightly to 2.24% by March 2025. The variability indicates periodic shifts in short-term debt obligations as a fraction of total liabilities and equity.
- Note payable to DIRECTV
- This component was introduced in late 2021 with minor values around 0.05% or less, declining to nearly zero and becoming negligible thereafter, reflecting either repayment or reclassification over time.
- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
- The percentage remained relatively stable, mostly oscillating between 7.8% and 10.6%. A notable peak occurred in December 2022 at 10.59%, followed by a gradual stabilization near 8%-9% in the most recent quarters. This stability suggests consistent management of supplier and accrued obligations.
- Advanced billings and customer deposits
- This line item exhibited minor variation, maintaining levels close to 1% of total liabilities and equity throughout the observed period. Slight increases were noted toward late 2024, potentially indicating higher customer prepayments or deposits.
- Dividends payable
- Dividends payable consistently represented a small fraction (around 0.5%) of total liabilities and equity after a marked decrease from approximately 0.7% in early 2021. The decline suggests adjustments in dividend payment timelines or policies.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities as a percent of total liabilities and equity displayed a range from about 11% to 15%, with peaks in 2021 reaching above 15%, followed by a general downward trend approaching 11%-12% in later periods. This reflects variations in short-term obligations relative to overall capital structure.
- Long-term debt, excluding maturing within one year
- Long-term debt consistently represented a significant portion of the capital structure, generally between 27% and 32%. After an increase peaking at 32.1% in September 2024, a slight decline was observed toward early 2025. The relatively stable high percentage indicates sustained reliance on long-term borrowings.
- Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities
- This liability category increased steadily from around 10.7% in early 2020 to nearly 15% by late 2024, indicating growing deferred tax obligations over time.
- Postemployment benefit obligation
- The obligation decreased from over 3% in early 2020 to below 2% by early 2022, followed by modest increments stabilizing around 2.2% toward early 2025, reflecting changes in pension and other benefit liabilities.
- Noncurrent operating lease liabilities
- These liabilities remained consistent, fluctuating narrowly between approximately 3.6% and 4.6%, demonstrating stable lease-related long-term obligations.
- Other noncurrent liabilities
- This category generally remained within the 5% to 7% range, showing some volatility but no discernible long-term trend, suggesting relatively steady noncurrent obligations outside major debt categories.
- Deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities
- These manifested as a significant and increasing portion of liabilities and equity, swelling from about 24.4% in March 2020 to nearly 28% by early 2025, representing noteworthy deferred obligations or credits recognized on the balance sheet.
- Noncurrent liabilities
- The aggregate of noncurrent liabilities stayed dominant, ranging mostly between 51% and 60%, with a peak at nearly 60% in late 2022. This reinforces the substantial weight of long-term obligations in the company’s capital structure.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities consistently accounted for roughly 64% to 74% of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity, peaking in late 2022. Post-2022, the liability percentage trended downward somewhat, stabilizing around 69%-70% in the most recent quarters, indicating relative consistency in leverage levels.
- Stockholders’ equity components
-
- Common stock
- Remained stable in a narrow band near 1.3% to 1.9%, reflecting minimal changes in par value share capital.
- Additional paid-in capital
- Increased from around 23.8% in early 2020 to above 30% during late 2022, followed by a gradual decline toward 26.7% by early 2025, suggesting history of equity injections or share issuance followed by stabilization.
- Retained earnings (deficit)
- Notable fluctuations were observed, with a sharp decline into negative territory around late 2022, followed by a recovery reaching positive values slightly above 1% by early 2025. This reflects periods of accumulated losses transitioning toward profitability or earnings retention.
- Treasury stock
- Treasury stock represented a negative value consistently (a contra equity account), becoming more negative around 2022 and slightly recovering thereafter, reflecting repurchases or retirements of shares.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
- Generally around zero, with minor positive and negative fluctuations, indicating minimal impact from unrealized gains or losses on comprehensive income.
- Stockholders’ equity attributable to AT&T
- This component declined from about 32.6% in early 2020 to a low near 24.2% by late 2022, then partially recovered to approximately 26.1% by early 2025. The pattern suggests a period of equity reduction with subsequent stabilization.
- Noncontrolling interest
- The proportion varied modestly, ranging mainly between 2.2% and 4.1%, without a clear directional trend, signifying stable minority interests.
- Total stockholders’ equity
- Overall equity showed a decline from roughly 36% in early 2020 to a trough near 26% by late 2022, followed by a rebound to just over 30% by early 2025, evidencing fluctuations in capital retention and market valuation effects.
- Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
- This total was consistently normalized to 100% across all periods, serving as the basis for the relative percentage analysis.
