CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

AT&T's consolidated revenues for the third quarter totaled $40.9 billion, up 4.6% versus the year-earlier period due to the July 24, 2015 acquisition of DIRECTV. Excluding the impact of the DIRECTV acquisition and foreign exchange, revenues were essentially flat, as growth in video and IP-based services mostly offset pressures from declines in wireless and legacy services. Compared with results for the third quarter of 2015, operating expenses were $34.5 billion versus $33.2 billion; operating income was $6.4 billion versus $5.9 billion; and operating income margin was 15.7% versus 15.2%. When adjusting for $0.14 of amortization, $0.03 in merger- and integration-related costs and $0.03 of employee-separation costs, operating income was $8.3 billion versus $7.9 billion; and operating income margin was 20.3%, consistent with the year-ago quarter.

Third-quarter net income attributable to AT&T totaled $3.3 billion, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 billion, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusting for $0.20 of amortization, merger- and integration-related costs and other expenses, earnings per diluted share was $0.74 compared to an adjusted $0.74 in the year-ago quarter.

Cash from operating activities was $11.0 billion in the third quarter, up 1.8%, and capital investment(1) totaled $5.9 billion. Free cash flow - cash from operating activities minus capital expenditures - was $5.2 billion for the quarter, down 6.5%, and $13.3 billion year to date, up 3.7%.

AT&T also announced that its board of directors has approved a 2.1% increase in the company's quarterly dividend. AT&T's quarterly dividend will increase from $0.48 to $0.49 per share. The annual dividend will increase from $1.92 to $1.96 per share. The dividend will be payable on Feb. 1, 2017 to common stockholders of record on Jan. 10, 2017.

Business Solutions

The Business Solutions segment provides both wireless and wireline services to business customers and to individual subscribers who purchase wireless services through employer-sponsored plans. AT&T's wireless and wired networks provide complete communications solutions to these customers. AT&T's business customer revenues include results from enterprise, public sector, wholesale and small/midsize customers.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Total third-quarter revenues from business customers were $17.8 billion, up 0.4% versus the year-earlier quarter. Growth in mobility and strategic business services offset declines in legacy services and a continuing low-growth economy. When adjusting for the transition of certain hosting operations, total revenues would have been even higher. Business Solutions service revenues were $15.6 billion, essentially stable year over year.

Third-quarter operating expenses were $13.5 billion, up 0.5% versus the third quarter of 2015. Operating income totaled $4.3 billion, up 0.1% year over year. Third-quarter operating income margin was 24.2%, stable year over year with declines in higher-margin legacy services offsetting growth in wireless and IP revenue and cost efficiencies.

BUSINESS WIRELESS FINANCIAL RESULTS

Business wireless revenues were up 4.0% year over year to $9.9 billion driven by wireless service revenue growth and higher equipment revenues. Wireless service revenues were up 4.1% year over year, reflecting smartphone and tablet gains and continued migration from consumer plans.

BUSINESS WIRELINE FINANCIAL RESULTS

In business wireline, declines in legacy products were partially offset by continued growth in strategic business services. Total business wireline revenues were $7.8 billion, down 3.7% year over year. When adjusting for the impact of the transition of certain hosting operations and foreign exchange pressures, wireline revenues would have decreased 2.5%. When adjusting for these same items, data revenues were stable. Data revenues make up nearly 60% of Business Solutions wireline revenues.

Revenues from strategic business services, the next-generation wireline capabilities that lead AT&T's most advanced business solutions - including VPNs, Ethernet, cloud, hosting, IP conferencing, voice over IP, dedicated internet, U-verse and security services - grew by $242 million, or 9.1%, versus the year-earlier quarter. These services represent an annualized revenue stream of more than $11 billion.

SUBSCRIBER METRICS

At the end of the third quarter, AT&T had 79.4 million business wireless subscribers. The company added 191,000 postpaid subscribers and 1.3 million connected devices in the third quarter. Postpaid business wireless subscriber churn was 0.97% versus 1.05% in the year-ago quarter.

During the quarter, the company also added nearly 15,000 high-speed IP broadband business subscribers. Total business broadband had a loss of 18,000 subscribers in the quarter.

Entertainment Group

AT&T's Entertainment Group provides entertainment, high-speed internet and communications services predominantly to residential customers in the United States.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Total revenues were $12.7 billion, up 17.1% versus the year-earlier quarter mostly due to the acquisition of DIRECTV. Also contributing to the gain was continued growth in consumer IP services.

Broadband revenues were up 5% in the quarter with IP broadband growing by 12%. AdWorks has grown to a $1.5 billion annualized revenue stream with double-digit revenue growth year to date and strong margins.

Third-quarter operating expenses were $11.2 billion, up 14.2% from a year ago due to the acquisition of DIRECTV and higher content costs. Operating income totaled $1.5 billion, up from the year-ago $1.0 billion. Third-quarter operating income margin was 11.7%, up from 9.4% in the year-earlier quarter with satellite and IP revenue growth and cost efficiencies offsetting TV content cost pressure and declines in legacy services. In the fourth quarter, on a sequential basis, margins will be pressured by a full quarter of NFL Sunday Ticket costs, annual content cost increases and start-up costs for DIRECTV NOW.

SUBSCRIBER METRICS

Total video subscribers were essentially flat in the quarter as competition increases. The company added 323,000 satellite subscribers in the third quarter. U-verse TV subscribers declined 326,000 as the company continued to focus on profitability and increasingly emphasized satellite sales. For the second straight quarter, gross additions increased on a year-over-year basis even when excluding IPTV customers transitioning to DIRECTV.

The Entertainment Group ended the quarter with 25.3 million video subscribers. While the company expects positive video net adds in the fourth quarter, it expects total video net adds for the year to decline slightly. At the end of the third quarter, about 100,000 pending video customers had the capability to watch TV on their mobile devices; however, these customers were not included in third-quarter subscriber numbers since the video service had not yet been installed at their homes.

The Entertainment Group had a net gain of 156,000 IP broadband subscribers in the third quarter. Total Entertainment Group broadband subscribers decreased 5,000 in the quarter. IP broadband subscribers at the end of the quarter totaled 12.8 million.

Consumer Mobility

The Consumer Mobility segment provides nationwide wireless service to consumer and wholesale subscribers located in the United States or in U.S. territories. The company's wireless network powers voice and data services, including high-speed internet, video entertainment and home monitoring services.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Total revenues from Consumer Mobility customers totaled $8.3 billion, down 5.9% versus the year-earlier quarter, reflecting declines in equipment revenues from lower handset sales and in postpaid service revenues due to the success of Mobile Share plans and migrations to business plans. Third-quarter operating expenses were $5.7 billion, down 5.7% versus the third quarter of 2015, reflecting lower equipment and commission costs as well as increased operational efficiencies.

AT&T's Consumer Mobility operating income totaled $2.6 billion, down 6.2% versus the third quarter of 2015. Third-quarter operating income margin was 31.1%, down slightly from the year-earlier quarter with lower volumes, fewer subsidized sales and cost efficiencies mostly offsetting service-revenue pressure from customers choosing Mobile Share plans. Consumer Mobility EBITDA margin was 42.5%, compared to 42.3% in the third quarter of 2015. (EBITDA margin is operating income before depreciation and amortization, divided by total wireless revenues.) EBITDA service margin was 50.9%, up from 50.5% in the year-ago quarter. (EBITDA service margin is operating income before depreciation and amortization, divided by total service revenues.)

SUBSCRIBER METRICS

At the end of the third quarter, AT&T had 53.9 million Consumer Mobility subscribers. In the quarter, Consumer Mobility gained 50,000 total subscribers with 21,000 postpaid, 304,000 prepaid and 41,000 connected device net adds offsetting a loss of 316,000 reseller subscribers. Consumer Mobility postpaid churn was 1.19%, compared to 1.33% in the year-ago quarter.

CONSUMER MOBILITY INNOVATION

AT&T is a leader in mobile internet, delivering expanded choice in devices, services and applications. In recent weeks, AT&T:

 
        --  Introduced Mobile Share Advantage (MSA) plans, 
             which offer more data at a lower cost per 
             megabyte than some of the plans previously 
             offered by AT&T. With the new MSA plans, customers 
             get unlimited talk and text, rollover data 
             and shareable data with no overage charges. 
             In place of overage charges, once a customer 
             uses the data in a plan, data speeds are reduced 
             for the remainder of the billing cycle. 
 
 
        --  Reached agreements with Empresa De Telecomunicaciones 
             De Cuba to allow AT&T wireless customers to 
             roam in Cuba and to enable direct interconnection 
             between the U.S. and Cuba. The deal continues 
             to enhance AT&T's global coverage for customers. 
 
 
        --  Enhanced the AT&T THANKS program by adding 
             priority presale ticket access to popular 
             Live Nation concerts. The first two presales 
             gave customers early access to tickets to 
             see Panic! At the Disco and Thomas Rhett. 
             The company also introduced new tiers with 
             benefits and offers to complement customers' 
             needs. 
 
 
        --  Launched a new smartphone plan for Cricket 
             customers starting at $30/month that includes 
             unlimited talk and text, plus 1GB of high-speed 
             data.

International

The International segment includes wireless services in Mexico and satellite entertainment services in Latin America.

Total International revenues totaled $1.9 billion. Third-quarter operating expenses were $1.9 billion. AT&T's International operating loss totaled $54 million. Third-quarter operating income margin was (2.9)%.

MEXICO

AT&T owns and operates a wireless network in Mexico. AT&T covered about 74 million people in Mexico with 4G LTE at the end of the third quarter and expects to cover 100 million POPs by the end of 2018.

Total wireless revenues from Mexico totaled $582 million, up 0.2% versus the year-earlier quarter, largely due to subscriber growth offset by foreign exchange and competitive pressures. Third-quarter operating loss was $148 million compared to a loss of $134 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting continued investment in operations, network and subscriber acquisition. Third-quarter operating expenses benefitted from a few one-time items. Margins in the fourth quarter are expected to be consistent with prior quarters.

In the quarter, AT&T added 163,000 postpaid subscribers and 606,000 prepaid subscribers to reach 10.7 million total wireless subscribers in Mexico, a 32% increase from a year ago.

DIRECTV LATIN AMERICA

AT&T is a leading provider of pay television services in Latin America with satellite operations serving Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and parts of the Caribbean. It also owns 41% of Sky Mexico. Sky Mexico financial results are accounted for as an equity method investment.

DIRECTV Latin America revenues reflect macroeconomic pressure with weakening local currencies. Total revenues from Latin America were $1.3 billion. Operating income was $94 million.

Third-quarter subscriber net losses were 48,000, driven by declines in Colombia, Argentina and Brazil. Total subscribers at the end of the quarter were 12.5 million. Sky Mexico had approximately 7.8 million subscribers as of June 30, 2016.

INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

In recent weeks AT&T:

 
        --  Continued to make significant progress in 
             building the company's customer base and deploying 
             a 4G LTE network in Mexico, while expanding 
             distribution to match this expanded network 
             reach. 
 
 
        --  Opened additional points of sale throughout 
             the country. The company also completed the 
             rebrand of nearly 2,900 Nextel and Iusacell 
             points of sale to AT&T.

AT&T Mobility

AT&T's U.S. mobility operations are divided between the Business Solutions and Consumer Mobility segments. For comparison purposes, the company is providing supplemental information for its total domestic mobility operations.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Wireless revenues reflected lower service revenues from the continued adoption of Mobile Share plans and lower equipment revenues primarily from fewer handset upgrades and higher bring-your-own-device subscribers.

 
        --  Total wireless revenues were $18.2 billion, 
             down 0.7% year over year, due to decreases 
             in service and equipment revenues. Wireless 
             service revenues of $15.0 billion were down 
             0.9% year over year but were up sequentially. 
             Continued growth of smartphones and tablets 
             partially offset adoption of Mobile Share 
             plans. Wireless equipment revenues decreased 
             0.2% to $3.2 billion. 
 
 
        --  Third-quarter wireless operating expenses 
             totaled $12.8 billion, down 0.8% year over 
             year, reflecting operating efficiencies and 
             lower sales volumes, which offset higher promotional 
             costs. Wireless operating income was $5.4 
             billion, down 0.5% year over year, reflecting 
             continued adoption of Mobile Share plans and 
             increased promotional activity. 
 
 
        --  Wireless margins reflect adoption of AT&T 
             Next(SM) , increases in BYOD customers, lower 
             smartphone upgrade volumes and continued efforts 
             to drive operating costs out of the business. 
             AT&T's reported third-quarter wireless operating 
             income margin was 29.6%, consistent with the 
             year-earlier quarter. 
 
 
        --  Wireless EBITDA margin was 41.2%, compared 
             to 40.7% in the third quarter of 2015. Wireless 
             EBITDA service margin was a best-ever 50.1%, 
             up from 49.4% in the year-ago quarter.

ARPU

The continued adoption of AT&T Next is reflected in postpaid service ARPU (average revenues per user).

 
        --  Phone-only postpaid ARPU decreased 1.9% versus 
             the year-earlier quarter; however, phone-only 
             postpaid ARPU with AT&T Next monthly billings 
             increased 1.7% year over year. This growth 
             comes even with lower upgrade volumes, promotional 
             offers and an increasing number of customers 
             holding onto their devices after completing 
             Next payments. 
 

SUBSCRIBER METRICS

In the third quarter, AT&T posted a net increase in total wireless subscribers of 1.5 million to reach more than 133 million in service, up 6.9 million over the past year.

 
        --  The company added 212,000 postpaid subscribers 
             and 304,000 prepaid subscribers with gains 
             in both Cricket and GoPhone. 
 
 
        --  AT&T also added 1.3 million connected devices. 
             It lost 315,000 reseller subscribers in the 
             quarter, largely due to disconnects from the 
             company's 2G network. The company added 299,000 
             postpaid tablet and computing devices in the 
             quarter and lost 268,000 postpaid phone subscribers 
             with the majority of the losses in lower-ARPU 
             feature phones. 
 
 
        --  The company had 516,000 branded net adds (both 
             postpaid and prepaid) in the quarter, including 
             165,000 branded smartphone net adds. About 
             700,000 total branded smartphones were added 
             to the base. 
 
 
        --  The company expects to shut down its 2G 
             network on or around Jan. 1, 2017. At 
             the end of the third quarter, the company 
             had about 4 million 2G subscribers. This 
             includes 2.8 million connected devices, 
             673,000 reseller, 335,000 postpaid and 
             210,000 prepaid. This compares to more 
             than 6 million 2G subscribers at the end 
             of the second quarter. The company has 
             had success migrating these subscribers 
             and will continue those efforts in the 
             fourth quarter; however, the 2G shutdown 
             is expected to impact net adds and churn 
             in the fourth quarter. 
 

CHURN

Improvements in postpaid and prepaid churn helped offset higher connected device and reseller churn.

 
        --  Postpaid churn was 1.05%, compared to 1.16% 
             in the year-ago quarter, an 11 basis point 
             improvement. That includes about 2 basis points 
             of pressure from the 2G network shutdown. 
             Postpaid phone churn was 0.90%, a 14 basis 
             point improvement from the year-ago quarter. 
             Branded churn was 1.63%, compared to 1.68% 
             in the year-ago quarter. Total churn was 1.45%, 
             up from 1.33% in the year-ago quarter driven 
             by churn from the shutdown of the 2G network. 
             The planned shutdown of the 2G network contributed 
             more than 20 basis points of pressure to total 
             churn.

SMARTPHONES

The company's branded smartphone base continued to grow in the quarter, and even more customers moved off the subsidy model - either choosing AT&T Next or bringing their own devices.

 
        --  The company had 7.0 million branded smartphone 
             gross adds and upgrades in the quarter, including 
             1.9 million from prepaid. The postpaid upgrade 
             rate in the quarter was 5.1%. 
 
 
        --  Sales on AT&T Next were 4.3 million, or 83% 
             of all postpaid smartphone gross adds and 
             upgrades. The company also had 595,000 BYOD 
             gross adds, the second most ever. That means 
             about 94% of postpaid smartphone transactions 
             in the quarter were non-subsidy. 
 
 
                     o  About 50% of the company's postpaid 
                         smartphone base is currently on AT&T 
                         Next, with almost 80% of postpaid smartphone 
                         subscribers on no-device-subsidy plans. 
 
 
        --  At the end of the quarter, 90%, or 58.7 million, 
             of AT&T's postpaid phone subscribers had smartphones. 
             Smartphones accounted for 96% of postpaid 
             phone sales during the quarter. 
 

DATA PLANS

Customers continue to choose Mobile Share and unlimited wireless with TV plans.

 
        --  The total number of Mobile Share connections 
             was 57.1 million with an average of about 
             3 devices per account. Nearly 40% of Mobile 
             Share accounts are on 15 gigabyte or larger 
             data plans. 
 
 
        --  About 6.7 million postpaid subscribers are 
             on unlimited wireless with TV plans.

Exhibit 99.3

Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We believe the following measures are relevant and useful information to investors as they are part of AT&T's internal management reporting and planning processes and are important metrics that management uses to evaluate the operating performance of AT&T and its segments. Management also uses these measures as a method of comparing performance with that of many of our competitors.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus Capital expenditures. Free cash flow after dividends is defined as cash from operations minus Capital expenditures and dividends. Free cash flow dividend payout ratio is defined as the percentage of dividends paid to free cash flow. We believe these metrics provide useful information to our investors because management views free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated by routine business operations, including Capital expenditures, and makes decisions based on it. Management also views free cash flow as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to shareowners.

Capital Investment

Capital Investment is a non-GAAP financial measure that adds to Capital expenditures the amount of vendor financing arrangements for capital improvements to our wireless network in Mexico. These favorable payment terms are considered vendor financing arrangements and are reported as repayments of debt instead of Capital expenditures. Management believes that Capital Investment provides relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating long-term investment in our business.

EBITDA

Our calculation of EBITDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For AT&T, EBITDA excludes other income (expense) - net, and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, as these do not reflect the operating results of our subscriber base or operations that are not under our control. Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates represents the proportionate share of the net income (loss) of affiliates in which we exercise significant influence, but do not control. Because we do not control these entities, management excludes these results when evaluating the performance of our primary operations. EBITDA also excludes interest expense and the provision for income taxes. Excluding these items eliminates the expenses associated with our capital and tax structures. Finally, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments. EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

EBITDA service margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by service revenues.

When discussing our segment results, EBITDA excludes equity in net income (loss) of affiliates, and depreciation and amortization from segment contribution. For our supplemental presentation of our combined domestic wireless operations (AT&T Mobility), EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization from Operating Income.

These measures are used by management as a gauge of our success in acquiring, retaining and servicing subscribers because we believe these measures reflect AT&T's ability to generate and grow subscriber revenues while providing a high level of customer service in a cost-effective manner. Management also uses these measures as a method of comparing segment performance with that of many of its competitors. The financial and operating metrics which affect EBITDA include the key revenue and expense drivers for which segment managers are responsible and upon which we evaluate their performance.

We believe EBITDA Service Margin (EBITDA as a percentage of service revenues) to be a more relevant measure than EBITDA Margin (EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) for our Consumer Mobility segment operating margin and our supplemental AT&T Mobility operating margin. For the periods covered by this report, we subsidized a portion of some of our wireless handset sales, which are recognized in the period in which we sell the handset. Management views this equipment subsidy as a cost to acquire or retain a subscriber, which is recovered through the ongoing service revenue that is generated by the subscriber. We also use wireless service revenues to calculate margin to facilitate comparison, both internally and externally with our wireless competitors, as they calculate their margins using wireless service revenues as well.

There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA, EBITDA margin and EBITDA service margin, as we have defined them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, these performance measures do not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense, tax expense and equity in net income (loss) of affiliates. Management compensates for these limitations by carefully analyzing how its competitors present performance measures that are similar in nature to EBITDA as we present it, and considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with its analysis of net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, EBITDA margin and EBITDA service margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusting Items

Adjusting items include revenues and costs we consider nonoperational in nature, such as items arising from asset acquisitions or dispositions. We also adjust for net actuarial gains or losses associated with our pension and postemployment benefit plans due to the often significant impact on our fourth-quarter results (we immediately recognize this gain or loss in the income statement, pursuant to our accounting policy for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses.) Consequently, our adjusted results reflect an expected return on plan assets rather than the actual return on plan assets, as included in the GAAP measure of income.

The tax impact of adjusting items is calculated using the effective tax rate during the quarter except for (1) adjustments related to Mexico operations, which are taxed at the 30% marginal rate for Mexico and (2) adjustments that, given their magnitude can drive a change in the effective tax rate, reflect the actual tax expense or combined marginal rate of approximately 38%.

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA service margin and Adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by excluding from operating revenues, operating expenses and income tax expense certain significant items that are non-operational or non-recurring in nature, including dispositions and merger integration and transaction costs. Management believes that these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends.

Adjusted Operating Revenues, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA service margin and Adjusted diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. AT&T's calculation of Adjusted items, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Entertainment Group Segment

Adjusted Operating Revenues includes the external operating revenues from DIRECTV U.S. as reported in the DIRECTV Form 10-Q/A dated June 30, 2015 adjusted to (1) include operations reported in other DIRECTV operating segments that AT&T has chosen to manage in our Entertainment Group segment, (2) conform DIRECTV's practice of recognizing revenue to be received under contractual commitments on a straight line basis over the minimum contract period to AT&T's method of limiting the revenue recognized to the monthly amounts billed and (3) eliminate intercompany transactions from DIRECTV U.S. and the Entertainment Group segment. Adjusting Entertainment Group segment operating revenues provides for comparability between periods.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Net Debt to EBITDA ratios are non-GAAP financial measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies and management believes these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data. The Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing the Net Debt by annualized Net Debt Adjusted EBITDA. Annualized Net Debt Adjusted EBITDA excludes severance-related adjustments as described in our credit agreements. Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit and time deposits that are greater than 90 days, from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by annualizing the year-to-date Net Debt Adjusted EBITDA.
