Outlook and guidance
Verizon expects the following:
- Full-year consolidated revenue growth at low-to-mid single-digit percentage rates on a GAAP reported basis.
- The impact of revenue recognition on EPS for full-year 2018 to be between 27 and 31 cents. The accretive benefit to full-year 2018 consolidated operating income is expected to moderate in 2019 and become insignificant in 2020, as the timing impacts to revenues and commission costs converge.
- Low single-digit percentage growth in adjusted EPS in 2018, before the net impact of tax reform and the revenue recognition standard.
- Capital spending for 2018 to be in the range of $16.6 billion to $17.0 billion.
The effective tax rate for full-year 2018 to be at the low end of the range of 24 to 26 percent.
