Item 8.01 Other Events.
As a result of AT&T Inc.’s (AT&T) November 18, 2005 acquisition of AT&T Corp. (ATTC), AT&T has revised its segment reporting to represent how AT&T now manages its business following the ATTC acquisition. The new segments are as follows:
|
|
• |
The wireline segment consists of the results of AT&T’s traditional wireline segment and the results from business and consumer operations at ATTC. Results from Sterling Commerce Inc. (Sterling) have been reclassified to the other segment. |
|
|
• |
The Cingular segment consists of the results of the joint venture Cingular Wireless LLC. |
|
|
• |
The directory segment consists of the results of AT&T’s traditional directory segment. |
|
|
• |
The other segment consists of results from Sterling, international and corporate operations. |
As a convenience to investors who may want to consider the effects of the above in advance of first quarter earnings, AT&T today is making available consolidated and pro forma quarterly financial statements for the previous year. Restatement of the historical segment results for the quarters (including those of ATTC), and pro forma presentation of segment revenue for the quarters and year, ended 2005 is provided as Exhibits 99 hereto. Exhibit 99c also includes a breakdown of the pro forma wireline segment revenue into categories of major product and customer classes, and includes reclassifications among those classes including the reclassification of most equipment sales to the other revenue product category.
