AT&T reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, surpassing Wall Street estimates for wireless subscriber additions. The company's success was driven by steady demand for its bundled 5G mobile and high-speed fiber services. AT&T reaffirmed its full-year financial forecast, signaling confidence in its ongoing strategic execution.
Postpaid phone net additions reached 324,000, with gross additions increasing by 13%, demonstrating robust customer acquisition despite higher churn. The company also announced plans to commence share buybacks in the second quarter, having achieved its net leverage target of net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA in the 2.5-times range. Revenue surpassed expectations, even after excluding $100 million of one-time EBITDA benefits.
This performance highlights the effectiveness of AT&T's converged connectivity strategy and its ability to attract high-value customers. The initiation of a share buyback program further reinforces the company's commitment to returning capital to shareholders and strengthening its financial position.
