- Debt maturing within one year
- This category shows significant variability over the periods, starting at 3.13% and decreasing sharply to a low point of 0.66% by the end of 2020. Subsequently, there is an increase reaching a peak around 4.74% in early 2022, after which it steadily declines to below 1% by late 2024 before slightly increasing again. This fluctuation suggests active management of short-term liabilities.
- Note payable to DIRECTV
- Values appear intermittently starting late 2021, ranging roughly from 0.03% to 0.23%, indicating a small, declining liability related to this note over time.
- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
- This item remains relatively stable between roughly 7.8% and 10.6%, with a peak in late 2022. Afterward, a gentle downward trend is noted, stabilizing near 8% to 9% in recent quarters.
- Advanced billings and customer deposits
- These amounts fluctuate mildly between about 0.84% and 1.09%, with a slight upward trend starting from 2023, indicating relatively steady customer-related liabilities.
- Dividends payable
- This liability remains quite stable around 0.5% of the total, having decreased from roughly 0.7% in 2021 to maintain a consistent level in subsequent periods, reflecting consistent dividend obligations.
- Current liabilities
- After peaking around 15.5% in late 2021, current liabilities trend downward decreasing to approximately 11% by mid-2024, then showing slight increases afterward. This suggests some reduction in short-term obligations over time.
- Long-term debt, excluding maturing within one year
- This category remains substantial and relatively stable, fluctuating between about 26.9% and 32.1%, with a mild peak in early 2022, indicating sustained long-term leverage.
- Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities
- A clear upward trend is visible, increasing steadily from around 10.7% to nearly 15% by 2025, which may reflect growing deferred tax obligations over time.
- Postemployment benefit obligation
- This liability declines from above 3.3% in 2020 to below 2% in early 2022, indicating reduced obligations, but gradually rises again to about 2.3% by mid-2025, demonstrating fluctuating benefit liabilities.
- Noncurrent operating lease liabilities
- Generally steady around 4%, with minor fluctuations, suggesting stable lease-related long-term obligations.
- Other noncurrent liabilities
- These remain in the 5% to 7% range with some volatility, peaking around mid-2022 and showing a slight decline thereafter, indicating relatively stable but mildly variable other liabilities.
- Deferred credits and other noncurrent liabilities
- There is a gradual increase from about 24% to nearly 28%, reflecting a growth in deferred credits and similar liabilities over the period.
- Noncurrent liabilities (total)
- This category consistently represents the majority of total liabilities, rising moderately from 51.4% to nearly 60% before a slight dip, emphasizing the company's significant long-term obligations.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities trend upward from about 64% in early 2020 to a peak near 74% in late 2022 before decreasing back to around 69.5% in recent quarters, highlighting a peak in liabilities with a modest subsequent deleveraging.
- Common stock, Additional paid-in capital, Treasury stock
- Common stock remains stable near 1.4% before modestly increasing to around 1.9%. Additional paid-in capital varies between 23.7% and peaks around 30.7%, then declining to about 26%. Treasury stock values are negative (reflecting repurchases or shares held), showing greater negative values peaking during 2022, then moderating somewhat. These changes indicate active equity management and share repurchase activity.
- Retained earnings (deficit)
- Retained earnings start positive but decline significantly into negative territory by 2022, reaching nearly -4.8%, before improving gradually back to slightly positive by mid-2025, suggesting a period of accumulated losses followed by recovery.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
- This item fluctuates modestly around zero, peaking near 0.8% in late 2020 and declining to slightly negative in 2024-2025, implying small impacts from non-operational gains or losses.
- Stockholders’ equity attributable to AT&T
- Equity fluctuates between 25% and 33%, with a noticeable decline around 2022 followed by gradual recovery, consistent with the trends seen in retained earnings and other equity components.
- Total stockholders’ equity
- Equity shows a general decline from about 36% to a low near 26% in late 2022, before rising back near 30% by late 2024 and remaining stable. This aligns with the fall and recovery observed in retained earnings and other equity elements.
- Overall capital structure
- The overall structure shows that liabilities constitute the majority of the capital base, with total liabilities ranging mostly between 65% and 74%, while stockholders’ equity represents about 26% to 36%. There was a period of increased leverage around 2022 followed by modest deleveraging. Equity volatility, driven by retained earnings variations and share repurchases, reflects financial challenges and subsequent stabilization.
