You should read this discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

In the tables throughout this section, percentage increases and decreases that equal or exceed 100% are not considered meaningful and are denoted with a dash. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated Results Our financial results are summarized in the table below. We then discuss factors affecting our overall results for the past three years. These factors are discussed in more detail in our “Segment Results” section. We also discuss our expected revenue and expense trends for 2009 in the “Operating Environment and Trends of the Business” section. We completed our acquisition of BellSouth Corporation (BellSouth) on December 29, 2006. We thereby acquired BellSouth’s 40% economic interest in AT&T Mobility LLC (AT&T Mobility), formerly Cingular Wireless LLC (Cingular), resulting in 100% ownership of AT&T Mobility. Our consolidated results in 2006 include BellSouth’s and AT&T Mobility’s operational results for the final two days of the year. Prior to the acquisition, we reported the income from our 60% share of AT&T Mobility as equity in net income. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), operating results from BellSouth and AT&T Mobility prior to their respective acquisition dates are excluded.

  • Report on Defaults and Returns On
    New York University Salomon Center Stern School of Business Report on Defaults and Returns on High Yield Bonds: The Year 2002 in Review and the Market Outlook By Edward I. Altman with Gaurav Bana February 2003 Dr. Altman is the Max L. Heine Professor of Finance and Vice Director of the NYU Salomon Center, Leonard N. Stern School of Business. Mr. Bana is a Research Associate at the NYU Salomon Center. We wish to thank Chris McHugh and Christopher Stuttard of New Generation Research, Wilson Miranda, Sau Man Kam and Gabriella Petrucci of Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Brooks Brady from S&P, David Hamilton from Moody’s and Maria Rosa Verde from Fitch for their data assistance and also the many securities dealers for their price quotations. Finally, this report benefits from the assistance of Amit Arora, Shubin Jha, Deepak-Iyer Ramamurthy and Lourdes Tanglao of the NYU Salomon Center. Defaults and Returns on High Yield Bonds: The Year 2002 in Review and the Market Outlook Edward I. Altman with Gaurav Bana • In 2002, the high yield bond market experienced record corporate bond defaults and corporate bankruptcies and the default rate in the high yield bond market easily topped the previously high record year of 1991. • A record $96.9 billion of US straight corporate high yield bonds defaulted resulting in a 12.8% dollar denominated default rate – considerably greater than 1991’s 10.3%. The fourth quarter’s default rate of 1.82% was, however, a noticeable reduction. • Large corporate bankruptcies with liabilities greater than $100 million dropped in number from 2001’s record year but the total liabilities of those 122 filings were $337 billion – more than $100 billion greater than last year; 38 filings topped $1 billion in 2002, bringing the last two years total to 77.
