Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Attached as an exhibit hereto are a press release and financial tables dated July 24, 2018 issued by Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon).
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Verizon’s press release and financial tables include financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as well as non-GAAP financial information. It is management's intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of Verizon's GAAP financial information and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. We believe that non-GAAP measures provide relevant and useful information, which is used by management, investors and other users of our financial information in assessing both consolidated and segment performance. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be directly comparable to that of other companies.
Consolidated Operating Revenues Excluding Oath, Divested Businesses and the Revenue Recognition Standard
Consolidated Operating Revenues Excluding Oath, Divested Businesses and the Revenue Recognition Standard is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our revenue growth and trends on a comparable basis. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, Consolidated Operating Revenues Excluding Oath, Divested Businesses and the Revenue Recognition Standard excludes (i) operating revenues from our Oath business and (ii) the impact of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" (Topic 606, ASC 606 or Revenue Recognition Standard), which we adopted effective January 1, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, Consolidated Operating Revenues Excluding Oath, Divested Businesses and the Revenue Recognition Standard excludes operating revenues from (i) our Oath business, (ii) the data center businesses divested on May 1, 2017 and (iii) insignificant divestitures completed in the third quarter of 2017.
Consolidated Operating Revenues Excluding Oath, Divested Businesses and the Revenue Recognition Standard is calculated by subtracting operating revenues from (i) Oath, (ii) divested businesses and (iii) impacts from the Revenue Recognition Standard from our consolidated operating revenues.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin Related Non-GAAP Measures
Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Consolidated EBITDA), Consolidated EBITDA Margin, Segment EBITDA, Segment EBITDA Margin, Pre-Topic 606 Segment EBITDA and Pre-Topic 606 Segment EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability on a more variable cost basis as they exclude depreciation and amortization expense related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions that occurred in prior periods, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to Verizon’s competitors. Further, the exclusion of the impact of Topic 606 enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis.
Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, equity in losses of unconsolidated businesses and other (income) and expense, net to net income. Consolidated EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Consolidated EBITDA by consolidated operating revenues.
Segment EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization expense to segment operating income. Segment EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Segment EBITDA by segment total operating revenues.
Pre-Topic 606 Segment EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization expense to segment operating income and excluding the impact of Topic 606. Pre-Topic 606 Segment EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Pre-Topic 606 Segment EBITDA by segment total operating revenues excluding the impact of Topic 606.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin Related Non-GAAP Measures
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA excluding Operating Results from Divested Businesses, Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide relevant and useful information to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. We believe that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated



 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by investors to compare a company’s operating performance to its competitors by minimizing impacts caused by differences in capital structure, taxes and depreciation policies. Further, the exclusion of special items and the impact of Topic 606 enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding from Consolidated EBITDA the effect of the following special items: net gain on sale of divested businesses, severance charges, gain on spectrum license transactions, product realignment charges and acquisition and integration related charges. Product realignment charges primarily relate to the discontinuation of the go90 platform and associated content and other early-stage developmental technologies. Acquisition and integration related charges represent transaction expenses related to business acquisitions and incremental expenses directly incurred to integrate the acquired businesses into our operations. We believe that the exclusion of the above-noted special items enables management, investors and other users of our financial information to assess our sequential and year-over-year performance on a more comparable basis and is consistent with management’s own evaluation of performance.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by Consolidated Operating Revenues.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA excluding Operating Results from Divested Businesses is calculated by excluding the operating results from divested businesses from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses this measure to assess our ability to repay debt and we believe that this measure is also useful to rating agencies, lenders and other parties in evaluating our creditworthiness.
Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting the impact of Topic 606 from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Pre-Topic 606 Consolidated EBITDA by Pre-Topic 606 consolidated operating revenues.
Net Debt and Net Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Net Debt and Net Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating Verizon’s ability to service its debt.
Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. Net Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Debt by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA excluding Operating Results from Divested Businesses. For purposes of Net Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA excluding Operating Results from Divested Businesses is calculated for the last twelve months.
Adjusted Earnings per Common Share
Adjusted Earnings per Common Share (Adjusted EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating results and understanding our operating trends without the effect of special items. We believe excluding special items provides more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period.
Adjusted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of the following special items: net gain on sale of divested businesses, severance charges, acquisition and integration related charges and product realignment charges.
See the accompanying schedules for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP.

NEW YORK - Strong revenue momentum and operating results at Verizon Wireless highlighted second-quarter 2018 performance at Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ), which today reported EPS of $1.00 for the quarter.

Page 1


“Verizon is extremely well-positioned for the future,” said Chairman and CEO Lowell McAdam. “Our financial and operating results for the first half of 2018 were strong, as evidenced by service revenue, earnings and operating cash flow growth delivered in a highly competitive marketplace.”
For second-quarter 2018, Verizon reported EPS of $1.00, compared with $1.07 in second-quarter 2017. On an adjusted basis (non-GAAP), second-quarter 2018 EPS was $1.20, compared with 96 cents in second-quarter 2017. Verizon’s second-quarter 2018 EPS included approximately 21 cents due to the net effects of tax reform and accounting changes for revenue recognition.
Adjusted second-quarter 2018 earnings included a pre-tax charge for product realignment of $658 million, mainly related to the discontinuation of Verizon’s go90 platform and associated content, severance charges of $339 million, and acquisition and integration-related charges of $120 million, primarily pertaining to Oath. The net impact of these items, after tax, was approximately $0.9 billion, or 20 cents per share.
Consolidated results
Total consolidated operating revenues in second-quarter 2018 were $32.2 billion, up 5.4 percent from second-quarter 2017. On a comparable basis excluding the impacts of Oath, divested businesses and the revenue recognition standard (non-GAAP), consolidated revenues were $30.2 billion, up approximately 2.6 percent.
Net income was $4.2 billion in second-quarter 2018. EBITDA (non-GAAP, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled approximately $11 billion. For second-quarter 2018, consolidated operating income margin was 20.5 percent. Consolidated EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 34.1 percent in second-quarter 2018, compared with 39.9 percent in second-quarter 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) in second-quarter 2018 was 36.8 percent. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 35.6 percent.
Cash flow from operations totaled $9.8 billion during second-quarter 2018, up $1.9 billion year over year. Total capital expenditures in the second quarter were $3.3 billion, bringing first-half capital spending to $7.8 billion. Verizon’s total debt balance declined by $4.4 billion sequentially in second-quarter 2018, as the company began to realize benefits from tax reform.
Last year Verizon announced a goal to achieve $10 billion in cumulative cash savings over the next four years. This initiative, which includes zero-based budgeting, has yielded approximately $500

Page 2


million of cumulative cash savings on a year-to-date basis and is on track to deliver against the company’s goals.
In Verizon’s media business, Oath revenues, excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, were $1.9 billion in second-quarter 2018, which were relatively flat on a sequential basis. In the telematics business, total Verizon Connect revenues, excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, were $241 million in second-quarter 2018. IoT (Internet of Things) revenues, including Verizon Connect, increased approximately 13 percent year over year, excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard.

Wireless results
Total revenues were $22.4 billion, an increase of 5.5 percent year over year. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, total revenues were $22.3 billion in second-quarter 2018, an increase of 4.7 percent compared with second-quarter 2017.
Service revenues for the quarter on a reported basis grew 0.8 percent year over year. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, service revenues grew 2.5 percent year over year, driven by customer step-ups to higher access plans and increases in the average connections per account. Sequentially, service revenues increased 1.5 percent, excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard.
In second-quarter 2018, approximately 82 percent of Verizon’s postpaid phone base were on unsubsidized plans, compared with 81 percent in first-quarter 2018 and 75 percent in the same period last year.
Verizon reported a net increase of 531,000 retail postpaid net additions in second-quarter 2018, consisting of net phone additions of 199,000, tablet losses of 37,000 and 369,000 other connected devices additions, primarily wearables. Postpaid smartphone net additions for the quarter were 398,000.
Total retail postpaid churn was 0.97 percent in second-quarter 2018, slightly up year-over-year. Retail postpaid phone churn of 0.75 percent in second-quarter 2018 was the fifth consecutive quarter of retail postpaid phone churn of 0.80 percent or better.
Segment operating income in second-quarter 2018 was $8.3 billion, and segment operating income margin on total revenues was 36.9 percent.
Segment EBITDA (non-GAAP) totaled $10.7 billion. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, segment EBITDA totaled $10.3 billion in second-quarter 2018. Segment EBITDA margin on total revenues (non-GAAP) was 47.8 percent, compared with 45.8 percent in second-quarter 2017. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, segment EBITDA margin was 46.2 percent, an improvement of 40 basis points year over year.
Wireline results
Total wireline revenues were $7.5 billion. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, total wirelines revenues decreased 3.4 percent year over year in second-quarter 2018.

Page 3


Total Fios revenues were $3.0 billion, an increase of 2.0 percent year over year. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, total Fios revenues grew 2.3 percent year over year, driven by Verizon’s broadband offerings.
In second-quarter 2018, Verizon added a net of 43,000 Fios Internet connections, indicative of strong demand as customers value broadband connections more than ever. Verizon lost 37,000 Fios Video connections in second-quarter 2018 amid pressures from cord-cutting of video bundles.
Wireline operating loss was $19 million in second-quarter 2018, and segment operating loss margin was 0.3 percent. Segment EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $1.5 billion in second-quarter 2018. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, segment EBITDA was $1.5 billion. Segment EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 20.2 percent in second-quarter 2018, compared with 20.7 percent in second-quarter 2017. Excluding the impact of the revenue recognition standard, segment EBITDA margin was 19.6 percent.

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. This update to full-year guidance is due to better-than-expected equipment revenue trends.
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 closer to the lower end of the range of $17.0 to $17.8 billion, including the commercial launch of 5G.
The effective tax rate for full-year 2018 to be at the low end of the range of 24 to 26 percent.
 
NOTE: See the accompanying schedules and www.verizon.com/about/investors for reconciliations to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for non-GAAP financial measures cited in this document.

Supplemental Information - Impact of Topic 606


We adopted Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective application. This method does not impact the prior periods, which continue to reflect the accounting treatment prior to the adoption of Topic 606. As a result, for items that were affected by our adoption of Topic 606, financial results of periods prior to January 1, 2018 are not comparable to the current period financial results.  To provide comparability to our results, we provide the following supplemental schedule which contains certain financial information on a pre adoption of Topic 606 basis.
