AT&T Income Statement Analysis Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through a broad definition of what an income statement is and why it is essential.  From this, I then discuss and define important income statement line items, such as revenues, gross profits, etc., in detail.  Finally, I offer a summary analysis of the company's important income statement line item trends.  For example,...

AT&T Cost of Goods Sold.

In 2015, AT&T’s cost of goods was approximately $67 billion.  In the next four years, the company would consistently increase the cost of goods ending 2019 at $84 billion.  As a percentage of revenues, in 2015, the company’s cost of goods would be 45.7%.  In the next two years, the company’s cost of goods as compared to revenues would increase dramatically, ending 2017 at 48.5%.  This indicates that the organization is either doing a worse job negotiating raw material costs or the organization is not able to pass on the increased cost of goods to its customers.  In this instance, both issues may be the case.

AT&T Balance Sheet Analysis Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through a broad definition of what a balance sheet is and why it is important.  From this, I then discuss and define important balance sheet line items, such as cash, inventory, etc., in detail.  Finally, I offer a summary analysis of the company's important balance sheet line item trends.  For example,...

AT&T Property, Plant, and Equipment

In 2015, AT&T had approximately $124.4 billion in property, plant, and equipment.  In the next two years, the organization would slightly increase its property, plant, and equipment ending 2017 at $125.2 billion.  In the last two years, though, the organization would moderately increase its property, plant, and equipment to $130.1 billion.  When an organization increases its property, plant, and equipment, this indicates that the firm’s executive team anticipates long-term revenue growth, which needs property, plant, and equipment to support it.

aT&T Financial Ratios Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through definitions of various popular financial ratios, how to calculate the ratios, formulas used, etc. Also, for some popular financial ratios, I provide brief explanations of what the ratios mean as it is related to the company.

AT&T Quick Ratio

The organization’s quick ratio is identical to its current ratio.  This is because the firm has no inventory to disclose.  Or, at the very least, it’s inconsequential as compared to their overall assets.

AT&T Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio

In 2015, AT&T had a fixed asset turnover of 1.18.  In the next four years, the organization would improve its fixed asset turnover ending 2019 at 1.39.  This means that the firm is continually using more and more of its fixed assets to generate revenues.  Couple this with the organization continually increasing their property, plant, and equipment, and investors may take away that the firm expects to moderately grow the revenues for the moderate to long-term—an excellent situation for investors, in my opinion.

AT&T Return on Equity

AT&T’s return on equity ended 2015 at 11.07%.  In the next two years, the return on equity would increase dramatically to 21%.  However, in the past two years, the return on equity has fallen from 10.29% in 2018 to 7.4% in 2019.  The continued reduction in return on equity again highlights possible inefficient leadership from the executive team.  To mitigate this issue, the organization may want to consider taking on more debt and repurchasing stock from the open market.
