Exceeded 2025 Guidance and Strong Financial Results
Met or exceeded consolidated full-year guidance; Q4 adjusted EPS grew over 20% to $0.52 and full-year adjusted EPS rose nearly 9% to $2.12. Q4 consolidated adjusted EBITDA grew over 4% and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by ~20 basis points.
Robust Subscriber Growth (Wireless and Fiber)
More than 1,500,000 postpaid phone net adds for the fifth consecutive year and over 1,000,000 AT&T Inc. Fiber net adds for the eighth consecutive year. AT&T Internet Air added 875,000 net adds, more than doubling that customer base during 2025.
Accelerating Fiber Footprint
Plan to ramp annual fiber construction from 3,000,000 new locations in 2025 to a 4,000,000 run rate by end of 2026; expect to reach over 40,000,000 customer locations with fiber by year-end 2026 (up from 32,000,000 at end of 2025). Beyond 2026, plan ~5,000,000 additional fiber locations annually through the end of the decade.
Convergence Traction
Fiber convergence rate improved 200 basis points year-over-year to 42%. In areas with fiber, AT&T's share of postpaid phone subscribers is estimated to be 10 percentage points higher versus non-fiber areas; converged customers show lower churn and higher wallet share.
Advanced Connectivity Drives Majority of Results
On a recast basis for 2025, advanced connectivity (domestic 5G and fiber) represented ~90% of revenues and over 95% of adjusted EBITDA, with advanced connectivity EBITDA growing at an average of >6% annually over the past two years (vs. consolidated ~3% CAGR).
Strong Free Cash Flow and Capital Returns
Full-year free cash flow was $16.6 billion (up >$1 billion and near the high end of guidance). Returned over $12 billion to shareholders in 2025 (dividends >$8B and share repurchases >$4B), a >50% increase vs. 2024. Company plans to return $45B+ to shareholders from 2026–2028.
Capital and M&A Moves to Expand TAM
Agreements to acquire EchoStar spectrum and Lumen fiber assets (expected to close early 2026). Lumen fiber acquisition expected to add ~ $900 million of annualized fiber revenue and materially expand fiber addressable market and convergence opportunities.
Cost Efficiency and Productivity Gains
Achieved over $1 billion of cost savings in 2025 and targeting an additional $4 billion of annual cost savings by 2028 through AI, digital transactions, legacy decommissioning, and operating efficiencies.
Positive 2026–2028 Outlook
Guidance: advanced home Internet revenue organic growth 20%+ annually through 2028 (2026 reported growth >30% including Lumen), total wireless service revenue growth 2%–3% annually, consolidated adjusted EBITDA growth 3%–4% in 2026 improving to ≥5% in 2028, adjusted EPS $2.25–$2.35 in 2026 with double-digit three-year CAGR through 2028, and free cash flow >$18B in 2026 with further growth in 2027–2028.
