¹ Capital investment includes capital expenditures and cash paid for vendor financing. For 2021, reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in our Form 8-K dated March 11, 2022.  In 2022, AT&T Capital Investment is expected to be in the $24 billion range (with capital expenditures in the $20 billion range and vendor financing payments in the $4 billion range). Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact capital expenditures and vendor financing payments, the company is not able to provide a reconciliation between projected capital investment and the most comparable GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort.

² EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies to provide relevant and useful information. EBITDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is 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, actuarial gains and losses, significant abandonments and impairment, severance and other material gains and losses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA estimates depend on future levels of revenues and expenses which are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, we cannot provide a reconciliation between projected EBITDA and projected Adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable GAAP metrics without unreasonable effort.
