Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
Ameritech Corporation's (Ameritech) first quarter results showed
continued momentum as profits rose to $578.9 million or $1.05 a share,
up from $43.8 million or 8 cents a share a year ago.
Excluding adjustments related to work force restructuring,
profits rose 11.2% to $418.8 million, up from $376.6 million, while
earnings per share increased 10.1% from 69 cents to 76 cents. These
adjustments reflect an after-tax gain of $160.1 million or 29 cents a
share in the first quarter of 1995 for settlement gains associated with
lump sum pension payments and an after-tax charge of $322.8 million or
61 cents a share in the first quarter of 1994 for work force
restructuring. Costs and expenses rose only 2.5% in the first quarter
of 1995.
First-quarter revenues of more than $3.1 billion were propelled
by:
o A 3.8% increase in access lines, up 681,000 to a total of 18.4
million lines.
o A 50.9% increase in cellular customers, up 483,000 to 1.43
million.
o Solid growth of 6.9% in network access minutes of use.
Despite price reductions of $53 million that were triggered by
new alternative state regulations, Ameritech revenues grew nearly $112
million or 3.7% to more than $3.1 billion in the first quarter.
