Item 8.01 Other Events. |
As a result of AT&T Inc.’s (AT&T) December 29, 2006 acquisition of BellSouth Corporation (BellSouth), AT&T has revised the classification of BellSouth in its segment reporting to represent how AT&T manages its business following the BellSouth acquisition. The segments are as follows:
|
|
• |
The wireline segment consists of the results of AT&T’s traditional wireline segment, BellSouth’s communications group operations and the results from business and consumer operations at AT&T Corp., which was acquired by AT&T in November 2005. |
|
|
• |
The wireless segment consists primarily of the results of AT&T Mobility LLC, formerly Cingular Wireless LLC. |
|
|
• |
The advertising & publishing segment consists of the results of AT&T’s traditional directory segment and BellSouth’s advertising and publishing businesses. |
|
|
• |
The other segment consists of results from Sterling Commerce Inc., 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 two years. Restatement of the historical segment results for the quarters, and pro forma presentation of segment revenue for the quarters and year, ended 2006 and 2005 is provided as Exhibits 99a-99c hereto. Exhibit 99c also includes a breakdown of the pro forma wireline segment revenue into categories of major product and customer classes.
