NEW YORK - Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) closed 2021 with another quarter of strong wireless service revenue growth and increased 5G phone adoption, as more than one in three Consumer wireless phone customers now have a 5G-capable device.
"2021 was a transformational year for Verizon that will serve as a catalyst for us," said Verizon Chairman and CEO Hans Vestberg. "We delivered on all of our goals in 2021 and made great progress on our five paths of growth, finishing the year with strong operating and financial momentum. As we move into 2022, we have the necessary assets to realize our strategy that we laid out in 2019. We are laser focused on executing our 5G strategy and providing value to our customers, shareholders, employees, and society, as 2022 will be the most exciting year yet for Verizon."
For fourth-quarter 2021, Verizon reported EPS of $1.11, compared with $1.11 in fourth-quarter 2020. On an adjusted basis*, fourth-quarter 2021 EPS, excluding special items, was $1.31, compared with adjusted EPS* of $1.21 in fourth-quarter 2020, an 8.3 percent increase year over year.

TracFone in 2021 was approximately $700 million higher than the revenue from TracFone in fourth-quarter 2020.
For full-year 2021, Verizon reported $5.32 in EPS, compared with $4.30 in full-year 2020. On an adjusted basis*, excluding special items, 2021 EPS was $5.39, compared with 2020 EPS of $4.90, a 10.0 percent increase year over year.
“Verizon delivered another strong earnings performance this quarter,” said Verizon Chief Financial Officer Matt Ellis. "Our financial discipline enabled us to deliver attractive service revenue growth and profitability this quarter as we expanded our portfolio with the TracFone acquisition and saw strong demand for our products and services. In 2021 we delivered on raised adjusted EPS* expectations, grew revenue, achieved our $10 billion cost savings goal, and funded our C-Band spectrum investment."
Consolidated results
•Total consolidated operating revenues in fourth-quarter 2021 were $34.1 billion, down 1.8 percent from fourth-quarter 2020. Adjusting for the sale of Verizon Media on September 1, operating revenue grew 4.8 percent year over year. Strong wireless service revenue growth and wireless equipment revenue were offset by continued declines in legacy wireline products. Full-year 2021 consolidated operating revenues were $133.6 billion, up 4.1 percent year over year.
•Cash flow from operations totaled $39.5 billion in 2021, a decrease from $41.8 billion year over year. Continued strong performance in the business was offset by higher working capital from device payments receivables, and higher cash taxes.
•Full-year 2021 capital expenditures were $20.3 billion. Capital expenditures continue to support the growth in traffic on the company's 4G LTE network as the company initiates the first phase of C-Band deployment covering more than 95 million people in the U.S. Capital expenditures related to C-Band were approximately $2.1 billion in 2021.
•The company ended 2021 with free cash flow* of $19.3 billion, a decrease from $23.6 billion at year-end 2020.
•Verizon's unsecured debt as of the end of fourth-quarter 2021 increased by $18.2 billion year over year to $136.7 billion, but improved by $4.9 billion sequentially from the end of third-quarter 2021. The company's net unsecured debt* balance increased year over year by $37.5 billion to $133.7 billion at the end of fourth-quarter 2021, but decreased by $3.7 billion from the end of first-quarter 2021, with its net unsecured debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio* at approximately 2.8 times at the end of fourth-quarter 2021.
Consumer results
•Consumer saw strong demand in fourth-quarter 2021 for its higher-tier premium mobility and broadband offerings. Strong wireless service revenue momentum, healthy profitability and significant Fios revenue growth highlighted the quarter. Consumer continued to expand its leadership in 5G adoption, ending 2021 with more than one in three wireless phone customers having 5G-capable devices.

•Consumer wireless service revenues were $14.6 billion in fourth-quarter 2021, a 7.7 percent increase year over year, reflecting ongoing step-ups to unlimited and premium unlimited plans, and the contribution from TracFone.

Full-year 2021 segment operating income margin was 31.4 percent, a decrease from 32.6 percent in full-year 2020. Segment EBITDA* totaled $10.3 billion in fourth-quarter 2021, an increase of 4.1 percent from fourth-quarter 2020, driven by service revenue growth.

Outlook and guidance
For 2022, Verizon expects the following:
•Organic service and other revenue growth of around 3 percent. On a reported basis, which includes the net impact of the sale of Verizon Media and the company's ownership of TracFone, service and other revenue growth is expected to be in a range of 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent.
•Reported wireless service revenue growth in the range of 9 percent to 10 percent. Excluding the impact of the TracFone acquisition, wireless service revenue is expected to grow at least 3 percent.
•Adjusted EBITDA* growth in the range of 2 percent to 3 percent.
•Adjusted EPS* of $5.40 to $5.55. The company expects adjusted EBITDA* growth in 2022 to be offset by headwinds from non-cash items. Beginning in 2022, the company's adjusted EPS* will exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. In 2021, the intangible amortization negatively impacted adjusted EPS* by approximately 11 cents. In 2022, the company anticipates the impact to be approximately 17 cents to 19 cents.
•Adjusted effective income tax rate* in the range of 23 percent to 25 percent.
•Capital spending, excluding C-Band, in the range of $16.5 billion to $17.5 billion, a decrease from $18.2 billion in 2021, as the company has started its progress towards lower capital intensity. Additional expenditures related to the deployment of the company's C-Band 5G network are expected to be in the range of $5 billion to $6 billion as the company continues to build out the initial markets and begins preparations for deploying Phase 2 spectrum.
