Pascal Desroches, chief financial officer, AT&T (NYSE:T) Inc., will speak tomorrow at the Bank of America Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference where he will provide an update to shareholders. Here are the key topics Desroches is expected to cover:

AT&T remains focused on growing durable converged relationships with high-quality 5G & fiber customers

    --  AT&T continues to see healthy, but normalizing, wireless industry trends
        and is pleased with how the Mobility business is performing in the third
        quarter.
    --  AT&T Fiber penetration rates continue to exceed initial business case
        assumptions with net adds varying from quarter to quarter based
        primarily on the pace of new fiber locations passed, seasonality and
        marketplace dynamics. Fiber installations are currently being impacted
        in a portion of AT&T's footprint from a work stoppage, but the Company
        does not expect this to materially impact third quarter financial
        performance.
    --  AT&T's connectivity portfolio continues to expand and includes multiple
        technologies, including 5G, fiber and the Company's fixed wireless
        access product - AT&T Internet Air - which is now available in parts of
        204 geographies for consumers and nationwide for businesses.

AT&T remains on track to achieve its consolidated financial guidance

    --  The Company remains confident in its ability to deliver on all of the
        consolidated financial guidance shared during its earnings report in
        July 2024.
    --  AT&T is the largest capital investor in U.S. connectivity infrastructure
        since 2019. To support its ongoing investment in 5G and fiber, the
        Company continues to expect 2024 capital investment in the $21-22
        billion range.
    --  AT&T also remains focused on driving incremental efficiencies through
        its goal of $2 billion+ in run-rate cost savings by mid-2026.
    --  The Company is on track to achieve net-debt to adjusted EBITDA in the
        2.5x range in the first half of 2025. It also plans to continue
        addressing short-term financing obligations as it shapes an even more
        sustainable and ratable free cash flow cadence.

The webcast of Desroches's conversation will be available live, and for replay, at AT&T Investor Relations.
