GTE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED ADJUSTED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
(1) On September 1, 1999, GTE completed the sale of
substantially all of its Government Systems business to General
Dynamics. Reported results for 1999 include eight months of
activity associated with these units. For comparative purposes,
third quarter and year-to-date revenues and operating expenses for
1998 have been adjusted to exclude activity for the month of
September for the Government Systems units sold. Net income
and EPS for 1998 are not affected by these adjustments as they
were added back into Other (Income) Expense.
(2) BC TELECOM, a majority-owned Canadian subsidiary of GTE,
merged with TELUS on January 31, 1999. GTE's ownership interest
in the merged company, TELUS, is 26.7%; therefore, during the
first quarter of 1999, GTE deconsolidated BC TELECOM and began
accounting for the investment in TELUS using the equity method
of accounting. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 1998,
GTE increased its ownership interest in CTI Holdings, an
Argentine wireless company, and began accounting for CTI
Holdings on a consolidated basis. For consistency, third
quarter and year-to-date 1998 revenues and expenses have been
adjusted to reflect the current method of accounting for these
investments. Net income and EPS are not affected by these
adjustments.
(3) Reported results for 1999 include special items of $705
million, recorded in the third quarter, which include the gain
associated with the sale of substantially all of the Government
Systems business on September 1, 1999 to General Dynamics for
$1.03 billion in cash, partially offset by a special charge
related to the impairment of assets associated with new product
development. The after-tax impact of these special items is
$416 million or $.42 per diluted share.
(4) Reported results for 1999 include a pretax gain of $513
million, recorded in the first quarter, associated with the merger
of BC TELECOM with TELUS on January 31, 1999. The after-tax
impact of this gain is $308 million, or $.32 per diluted share.
Reported results for 1999 also include special charges of $192
million ($119 million after-tax, or $.12 per diluted share),
recorded in the first quarter, associated with employee
separation programs completed in early April 1999. The charges
include separation and related benefits such as outplacement and
benefit continuation costs.
(5) Reported results for 1998 include special charges of $755
million ($482 million after-tax, or $.50 per diluted share)
related to asset impairments, the cost of exiting certain
business activities and employee related costs recorded during
the first quarter of 1998.
(6) In March 1999, GTE Corporation repurchased $338 million in
high-coupon debt prior to stated maturity, resulting in an
after-tax extraordinary charge during the first quarter of $30
million, or $.03 per diluted share.
7) Reported results for 1998 include after-tax extraordinary
charges of $320 million, or $.33 per diluted share, resulting
from the discontinued use of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 71, 'Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types
of Regulation' (SFAS No. 71), by GTE's Canadian operations, and
the early retirement of long-term debt and preferred stock
recorded during the first quarter of 1998.
Note: Reclassifications and restatements of prior period operating
statistics on the following schedules have been made, where
appropriate, to conform to the 1999 presentation.
