This excerpt taken from the T 10-Q filed May 7, 2009.
Segment operating expenses decreased $362, or 40.8%, in the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to 2008 workforce charges. The workforce reductions, primarily employees in non-customer facing areas of the business are a result of the restructure of our operations from a collection of regional companies to a single national approach.

This excerpt taken from the T 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2008.
Segment operating expenses decreased $98, or 18.9%, in the third quarter and increased $189, or 11.3%, for the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in the third quarter was primarily due to the reduction of employee related accruals and reduced operating expenses from our operator services and retail payphone operations. The increase for the first nine months was primarily due to a charge in the first quarter of $374 associated with our announced workforce reduction, primarily management employees in non-customer facing areas of the business as a result of the restructure of our operations from a collection of regional companies to a single national approach. This was partially offset by a reduction in reserves held at our captive insurance company and by decreased operating expenses from our operator services and retail payphone operations.

This excerpt taken from the T 10-Q filed Aug 6, 2008.
Segment operating expenses decreased $89, or 13.8%, in the second quarter and increased $287, or 24.8%, for the first six months of 2008. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily due to a reduction in reserves held at our captive insurance company and reduced operating expenses from our operator services and retail payphone operations. The increase for the six months was primarily due to a charge in the first quarter of $374 associated with our announced workforce reduction, primarily management employees in non-customer facing areas of the business. The restructure of our operations from a collection of regional companies to a single national approach allows us to streamline staff functions. This was partially offset by decreased operating expenses from our operator services and retail payphone operations.

This excerpt taken from the T 10-Q filed May 7, 2008.
Segment operating expenses increased $306, or 65.9%, in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to a charge of $374 associated with our announced workforce reduction of approximately 1.5%, primarily management employees in non-customer facing areas of the business. The restructure of our operations from a collection of regional companies to a single national approach allows us to streamline staff functions. This was partially offset by decreased operating expenses from our operator services and retail payphone operations, and receipt of international receivables.

Our other segment also includes our equity investments in América Móvil, Telmex and minor investments in other international companies, the income from which we report as equity in net income of affiliates. Our earnings from foreign affiliates are sensitive to exchange-rate changes in the value of the respective local currencies. Our foreign investments are recorded under GAAP, which include adjustments for the purchase method of accounting and exclude certain adjustments required for local reporting in specific countries.

This excerpt taken from the T 10-Q filed May 4, 2007.
Segment operating expenses increased $67, or 16.9%, in the first quarter of 2007 primarily due to the addition of BellSouth’s other operations and increased operating expenses at Sterling.

 

Prior to the December 29, 2006 close of the BellSouth acquisition, our other segment included our 60% proportionate share of AT&T Mobility results as equity in net income of affiliates. As a result of the BellSouth acquisition, we own 100% of AT&T Mobility and its results for the first quarter of 2007 are now included in the wireless segment and are no longer included in equity in net income of affiliates in this segment or on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
