Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Attached as an exhibit hereto are a press release and financial tables dated July 21, 2021 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 in the United States (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 providing these non-GAAP measures in addition to the GAAP measures allows management, investors and other users of our financial information to more fully and accurately assess 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.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin Related Non-GAAP Measures
Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information as they are a widely accepted financial measures used in evaluating the profitability of a company and with its competitors.
Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization expense to net income.
Segment EBITDA is calculated by adding back segment depreciation and amortization expense to segment operating income. Segment EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Segment EBITDA by segment total operating revenues.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Related to Non-GAAP Measures
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides 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 is 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 non-operational items and special items enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding from Consolidated EBITDA the effect of the following non-operational items: equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated businesses and other income and expense, net, and the following special items: severance charges, loss on spectrum licenses and net loss from disposition of business. Severance charges recorded during 2020 relate to voluntary separations under our existing plans. Loss on spectrum licenses relates to the reclassification of certain spectrum licenses to assets held for sale at fair value in connection with spectrum sale transactions in 2021 and Auction 103 in 2020. Net loss from disposition of business relates to the sale of Huffington Post in 2020.
Net Unsecured Debt and Net Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Net Unsecured Debt and Net Unsecured 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 unsecured debt from continuing operations.
Net Unsecured Debt is calculated by subtracting secured debt and cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents held for sale, from the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. Net Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Unsecured Debt by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. For purposes of Net Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated for the last twelve months.
Adjusted Earnings per Common Share (Adjusted EPS) and Adjusted EPS Forecast
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS Forecast are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are 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 which could vary from period to period. We believe excluding special items provides more comparable assessment of our financial results from period to period.
Adjusted EPS is calculated by excluding from the calculation of reported EPS the effect of the following special items: net pension remeasurement charge (credit), and net early debt redemption costs.
We have not provided a reconciliation for our Adjusted EPS Forecast because we cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the special items that could arise during 2021.
Adjusted Effective Income Tax Rate Attributable to Verizon Forecast (Adjusted ETR Forecast)
Adjusted ETR Forecast is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in assessing our effective income tax rate without the effect of special items which could vary from period to period. Adjusted ETR Forecast is calculated by dividing the Provision for income taxes by Net Income attributable to Verizon before tax after adjusting for the impact of special items.
We have not provided a reconciliation for our Adjusted ETR Forecast because we cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the special items that could arise during 2021.
See the accompanying schedules for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP.

NEW YORK - Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) reported second-quarter earnings today highlighted by an increase in 5G phone adoption, customer and sequential wireless service revenue growth, and superior network reliability. Based on its strong results, Verizon revised its revenue and adjusted EPS guidance* upward for the full year.
"We are executing on our multipurpose network strategy and producing positive results in each of our five growth vectors, recording strong second quarter results. With more connections on our network than anyone else, our already excellent network performance improved in the quarter and was recognized by RootMetrics as the best overall network performance for the 16th time in a row. We are also expanding our 5G Ultra Wideband and 5G Home markets," said Verizon Chairman and CEO Hans Vestberg. "We are excited about our momentum leading into the second half of the year. We are on track to close both the Tracfone and Verizon Media transactions, and will continue to bring value and choice to our customers."
For second-quarter 2021, Verizon reported EPS of $1.40, compared with $1.13 in second-quarter 2020. On an adjusted basis*, second-quarter 2021 EPS, excluding special items, was $1.37, compared with adjusted EPS of $1.18 in second-quarter 2020.
Second-quarter 2021 EPS included a net pre-tax gain from special items of $182 million, consisting of a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.3 billion related to a pension remeasurement credit, and a pre-tax loss of $1.1 billion from early debt redemption costs.
In second-quarter 2021, Verizon announced an agreement to sell Verizon Media to Apollo funds, with an expected close date in second-half 2021. After the announcement, certain assets of the Verizon Media business were classified as an "Asset Held for Sale." As a result, Verizon no longer depreciated or
Page 2
VlpHU09DSUQyMDE5UTE=
amortized these assets, which resulted in a partial quarter benefit of 3 cents per share in the second quarter. This benefit will continue until the deal closes.
“Second quarter results were exceptional, both financially and operationally,” said Verizon Chief Financial Officer Matt Ellis. “Our strong first half performance and the momentum in our business gives us the confidence to raise our total wireless service revenue growth guidance to between 3.5 percent and 4 percent, an update from prior guidance for 2021 total wireless service revenue growth of at least 3 percent. We are also raising our adjusted EPS guidance* to the range of $5.25 to $5.35, an update from prior guidance for 2021 adjusted EPS* of $5.00 to $5.15."
Consolidated results
•Total consolidated operating revenues in second-quarter 2021 were $33.8 billion, up 10.9 percent from second-quarter 2020, and an increase of 5.3 percent from second-quarter 2019. This increase was the result of wireless revenue growth, strong Fios and Verizon Media results, and increased wireless equipment revenue.
•First-half 2021 cash flow from operations totaled $20.4 billion, a decrease from $23.6 billion year over year, primarily driven by higher cash taxes and higher working capital requirements due to greater volumes. The cash tax impact was the result of a one-time benefit received in second-quarter 2020, as well as a pandemic-related postponement of payments in second-quarter 2020.
•Capital expenditures in first-half 2021 were $8.7 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 $160 million in first-half 2021.
•Verizon's unsecured debt balance increased year over year by $39.4 billion to $141.6 billion at the end of second-quarter 2021, but improved by approximately $6.0 billion sequentially from the end of first-quarter 2021. The company’s net unsecured debt* as of the end of second-quarter 2021 increased by $42.5 billion year over year to $136.8 billion, and its net unsecured debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio* was approximately 2.9 times.
Consumer results
•The company continues to provide new and existing consumers with more value in upgraded offerings; seven entertainment options, including gaming; and more choice through its Mix and Match pricing in both wireless and home broadband plans.
•With Verizon's company-operated retail stores fully opened and consumer behavior closer to pre-pandemic levels, Consumer built momentum throughout the quarter and timed its promotions to take advantage of the economic recovery and increased customer activity. This increased activity and Consumer's differentiated customer proposition drove 5G adoption and step-ups to premium unlimited plans. Consumer ended second-quarter 2021 with approximately 20 percent of wireless phone customers having 5G-capable devices.
•Total Verizon Consumer revenues were $23.5 billion, an increase of 11.2 percent year over year, and an increase of 6.7 percent from second-quarter 2019. This increase was primarily driven by wireless equipment revenues of $4.7 billion, which rebounded above pre-pandemic levels.

VlpHU09DSUQyMDE5UTE=
•Consumer wireless service revenues were $13.8 billion in second-quarter 2021, a 5.4 percent increase year over year, and a 2.5 percent increase from second-quarter 2019. This increase was driven by customer growth, continued adoption of wireless unlimited and premium unlimited plans, products, such as billed content, as well as reseller and prepaid. This growth also came despite minimal contributions from international roaming.
•Total wireless retail postpaid churn was 0.83 percent in second-quarter 2021. Wireless retail postpaid phone churn was 0.65 percent, a record-low retail postpaid phone churn outside of second-quarter 2020 and third-quarter 2020, which were heavily impacted by the pandemic.
•In second-quarter 2021, Consumer reported 350,000 wireless retail postpaid net additions. This consisted of 197,000 phone net additions and 234,000 other connected device net additions, offset by 81,000 tablet net losses.
•The quality and reliability of the company's Fios service continued to drive strong demand for broadband as Consumer reported 92,000 Fios Internet net additions in second-quarter 2021. Consumer Fios revenues of $2.9 billion in second-quarter 2021 were the highest since the company's new operating structure was introduced in 2019. The company's trailing 12-month total Fios Internet net addition performance is the highest since 2015. Consumer reported 62,000 Fios Video net losses in second-quarter 2021.
•In second-quarter 2021, Consumer segment operating income was $7.5 billion, an increase of 6.1 percent year over year, and segment operating income margin was 31.9 percent, a decrease from 33.5 percent in second-quarter 2020. Segment EBITDA* totaled $10.4 billion in second-quarter 2021, an increase of 4.9 percent from second-quarter 2020. Segment EBITDA margin* was 44.3 percent in second-quarter 2021, a decrease from 47.0 percent in second-quarter 2020, primarily resulting from higher activations.
Business results
•During second-quarter 2021, as the economy reopened, Business customers took advantage of promotions and an advanced communications, security and video collaboration product portfolio, creating strong momentum in Small and Medium Business and the first quarter of Global Enterprise growth since the onset of the pandemic.
•Total Verizon Business revenues were $7.8 billion, up 3.7 percent year over year, and relatively flat from second-quarter 2019.
•Business wireless service revenues were $3.1 billion in second-quarter 2021, an 8.0 percent increase year over year, and an increase of 11.4 percent from second-quarter 2019. This increase was led by Small and Medium Business and Global Enterprise.
•Total wireless retail postpaid churn was 1.30 percent in second-quarter 2021, and wireless retail postpaid phone churn was 1.07 percent.
•Business reported 178,000 wireless retail postpaid net additions in second-quarter 2021, including 78,000 phone net additions.
•In second-quarter 2021, Business segment operating income was $856 million, a decrease of 9.5 percent year over year, and segment operating income margin was 11.0 percent, a decrease from 12.6 percent in second-quarter 2020. Segment EBITDA* totaled $1.9 billion in second-quarter 2021, a decrease from $2.0 billion in second-quarter 2020. Segment EBITDA margin* was 24.1 percent, a decrease from 26.2 percent in second-quarter 2020, driven by higher wireless equipment volumes and wireline pressure.

Media results
•Total Verizon Media revenues were $2.1 billion in second-quarter 2021, an increase of approximately 50 percent from second-quarter 2020, and an increase of approximately 13 percent from second-quarter 2019. Media continued its recent trends and delivered strong performance driven by high customer engagement with its brands and demand for its advertising platforms.
Outlook and guidance
Verizon is updating financial guidance for full-year 2021.
•The company now expects total wireless service revenue growth of 3.5 percent to 4 percent, an update from prior guidance for 2021 total wireless service revenue growth of at least 3 percent. Service and other revenue for 2021 is no longer comparable year over year as the company’s planning assumption now includes the closing of the Verizon Media transaction at the end of third-quarter 2021. For this reason, the company is withdrawing its service and other revenue growth guidance at this time.
•The company now expects adjusted EPS* of $5.25 to $5.35, an update from prior guidance for 2021 adjusted EPS* of $5.00 to $5.15.
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. 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.
