NEW YORK - Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) reported third-quarter earnings today highlighted by revenue and customer growth as more than one in four Consumer wireless phone customers now have a 5G-capable device.
"We had a strong third quarter, delivering on our strategy and growing in multiple areas," said Verizon Chairman and CEO Hans Vestberg. "Our disciplined strategy execution demonstrated growth in 5G adoption, broadband subscribers and business applications. We are increasing our 2021 guidance, and we continue to expand our 4G LTE and 5G network leadership. We fully expect to have a strong finish to the year as we accelerate deployment of 5G to our customers across the country."
For third-quarter 2021, Verizon reported EPS of $1.55, compared with $1.05 in third-quarter 2020, a 47.6 percent increase year over year. On an adjusted basis*, third-quarter 2021 EPS, excluding special items, was $1.41, compared with adjusted EPS of $1.25 in third-quarter 2020, a 12.8 percent increase year over year.
Third-quarter 2021 EPS included a net pre-tax gain on the sale of Verizon Media to Apollo funds of $706 million, and a net pre-tax charge of approximately $247 million, which included a net charge of $144 million related to a mark-to-market adjustment for pension liabilities, and $103 million related to a severance charge for voluntary separations under existing plans. Third-quarter 2021 results also included two months of Verizon Media, as the sale closed on September 1.
“Verizon reported another quarter of strong financial and operating performance,” said Verizon Chief Financial Officer Matt Ellis. "We are seeing strong demand for connectivity across our Consumer and Business segments as our Mix and Match and Business Unlimited value propositions, network quality and unique partnerships are resonating with both new and existing customers. We grew revenue in the quarter, achieved solid cash flow, completed the sale of Verizon Media and increased the dividend for a 15th consecutive year."
Consolidated results
•Total consolidated operating revenues in third-quarter 2021 were $32.9 billion, up 4.3 percent from third-quarter 2020. These results included two months of Verizon Media revenue of approximately $1.4 billion on a segment basis. Excluding Verizon Media*, total consolidated operating revenues increased 5.5 percent.
•Year-to-date cash flow from operations totaled $31.2 billion, a decrease from $32.5 billion year over year. This decrease was primarily driven by lower cash taxes from a one-time benefit in 2020, as well as higher working capital requirements in 2021 due to greater volumes.

•Capital expenditures year-to-date were $13.9 billion. Capital expenditures continue to support the growth in traffic on the company's 4G LTE network and the continued expansion of the company's 5G Ultra Wideband and 5G Nationwide networks. Capital expenditures related to C-Band were more than $1 billion year-to-date.
•The company ended third-quarter 2021 with free cash flow* of $17.3 billion.
•Verizon's unsecured debt balance increased year over year by $36.1 billion to $141.6 billion at the end of third-quarter 2021, remaining relatively flat sequentially from the end of second-quarter 2021.

Verizon's cash balance of $9.9 billion at the end of third-quarter 2021 included the proceeds associated with the company's sale of Verizon Media.
Consumer results
•Consumer built momentum throughout third-quarter 2021 highlighted by its Mix and Match pricing and unique partnerships. Consumer continued to expand its leadership in 5G adoption, ending third-quarter 2021 with more than 25 percent of wireless phone customers having 5G-capable devices.

Consumer's phone net additions in third-quarter 2021 were more than Consumer's phone net additions in both third-quarter 2020 and third-quarter 2019.

Outlook and guidance
Verizon is updating financial guidance for full-year 2021.
•The company now expects total wireless service revenue growth of around 4 percent. This update is at the higher end of the prior guidance of 3.5 percent to 4 percent.
•The company now expects adjusted EPS* of $5.35 to $5.40, an update from prior guidance of $5.25 to $5.35.
Additionally, Verizon continues to expect the following results for full-year 2021:
•Adjusted effective income tax rate* in the range of 23 percent to 25 percent.
•Capital spending to be in the range of $17.5 billion to $18.5 billion, including the further expansion of 5G mmWave in new and existing markets, the densification of the 4G LTE wireless network to manage future traffic demands and the continued deployment of the company's fiber infrastructure. The company notes that its assumption for this guidance is dependent upon no material changes in the current state of the company's supply chain. Expenditures related to the deployment of the company's C-Band 5G network will be in addition to this amount, and the company previously announced an incremental $10 billion of capital expenditures from 2021 to 2023, of which $2 billion to $3 billion is expected in 2021.
