Free cash flow includes reimbursements of certain postretirement benefits paid.
 
Free cash flow is defined as cash from operations minus construction and capital expenditures. Free cash flow after dividends is defined as cash from operations minus construction, capital expenditures and dividends. We believe these metrics provide useful information to our investors because management regularly reviews free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated by normal business operations, including capital expenditures, and makes decisions based on it. Management also views free cash flow as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to shareowners.

Management believes that this measure provides relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends.
 
Adjusted Operating Revenues should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Operating Income and Margin are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by excluding from operating revenues and operating expenses significant items that are non-operational or non-recurring in nature. Management believes that these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends.
 
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin exclude all actuarial gains or losses ($7.9 billion loss in 2014) associated with our pension and postemployment benefit plans, which we immediately recognize in the income statement, pursuant to our accounting policy for the recognition of actuarial gains/losses. As a result, Adjusted Operating Income and Margin reflect an expected return on plan assets of $4.1 billion (based on an average expected return on plan assets of 7.75%), rather than the actual return on plan assets excluding international pension of $4.6 billion (actual return of 8.8%), as included in the GAAP measure of income.
 
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Margin, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
 
*Adjusted Operating Income Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Operating Income by Adjusted Operating Revenues.

Net-Debt-to-EBITDA ratios are non-GAAP financial measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies. Management believes these measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. The Net-Debt-to-EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing the Net Debt by annualized EBITDA. Annualized EBITDA is calculated by annualizing the year-to-date EBITDA.
 
Our calculation of EBITDA, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

1Prior-period amounts restated to conform to current-period reporting methodology and divestiture of Connecticut Wireline Properties. Sum of segments' revenues within a quarter might not tie to total revenues due to rounding. For ease of presentation, Connecticut Wireline Properties revenues are presented separately on the schedules above.
                                                                                 
2Strategic business services are AT&T's most advanced business solutions, including VPNs, Ethernet, cloud, hosting, IP conferencing, VoIP, MIS over Ethernet, U-verse and security services.
                                                                                 
These Adjusted Operating Revenues are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by excluding the operating revenues of Connecticut wireline properties sold in October 2014. Management believes that thess measures provide relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends.
 
Adjusted Operating Revenues should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Our calculations of Adjusted Operating Revenues may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
