Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Attached as an exhibit hereto are a press release and financial tables dated January 24, 2017 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.

Consolidated Operating Revenues Excluding Divested Businesses and AOL

Verizon consolidated operating revenues excluding Divested Businesses and AOL 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 since the sale of local landline businesses in California, Florida and Texas (Divested Businesses) was completed on April 1, 2016 and AOL was acquired on June 23, 2015.

Consolidated operating revenues excluding Divested Businesses and AOL is calculated by subtracting operating revenues from the Divested Businesses and operating revenues from AOL from consolidated operating revenues.

Operating Revenues from Digital Media Business net of Traffic Acquisition Costs

Operating Revenues from Digital Media Business net of Traffic Acquisition Costs (TAC) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the financial performance of our business. TAC consists of costs incurred through arrangements in which we acquire third-party online advertising inventory for resale and arrangements whereby partners direct traffic to our digital media business. We believe that this measure enhances the comparability of these revenues to those of our competitors. However, comparable activity may be measured differently by other companies and our revenue sources and TAC may be different than those of our competitors in this market segment. Therefore, our Operating Revenues from Digital Media Business net of TAC may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors.

Operating Revenues from Digital Media Business net of TAC is calculated by subtracting TAC from operating revenues from our digital media business, which includes intersegment revenues.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin

Verizon consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Consolidated EBITDA), Consolidated EBITDA Margin, 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 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.

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 (loss). Segment EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Segment EBITDA by segment total operating revenues.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Verizon consolidated adjusted EBITDA (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 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is widely 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 impact of Divested Businesses enable comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is also used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness.


Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding from Consolidated EBITDA the effect of (1) non-operational items such as actuarial gains or losses arising from the re-measurements of pension and other postretirement benefits, severance costs, gain on sale of Divested Businesses and gain on spectrum license transactions; and (2) the impact of Divested Businesses. Actuarial gains or losses as a result of the re-measurements of pension and other postretirement benefits are included in our operating expenses and are measured based on projected discount rates and estimated returns on plan assets. Such estimates are updated at least annually at the end of the fiscal year to reflect actual discount rates and returns on plan assets or more frequently if significant events arise which require an interim re-measurement. We believe the exclusion of these re-measurement gains or losses 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.

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. For purposes of Net Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 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 non-operational items. We believe that excluding non-operational items provides more meaningful comparisons of our financial results from period to period.

Adjusted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of non-operational items such as actuarial gains or losses arising from the re-measurement of pension and other postretirement benefits and severance costs and gain on spectrum license transactions from the calculation of reported EPS.

See the accompanying schedules for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP.

Verizon grows its strong customer base profitably in 4Q

4Q 2016 highlights

 

 

Consolidated: $1.10 in earnings per share (EPS); adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) of 86 cents, excluding non-operational items related to mark-to-market pension and benefits adjustments and severance-related costs.

 

 

Wireless: 591,000 retail postpaid net additions, including 552,000 new 4G LTE smartphones; retail postpaid churn at 1.10 percent, with strong customer loyalty demonstrated by retail postpaid phone churn of less than 0.90 percent for the seventh consecutive quarter.

 

 

Wireline: 68,000 Fios Internet net additions, 21,000 Fios Video net additions; Fios total revenue growth of 4.4 percent.

NEW YORK – As Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) continues to transform its business and enter new markets, the company today reported another strong quarter of wireless profitability and customer loyalty, and customer and revenue growth for Fios fiber-optic services.

Verizon reported fourth-quarter 2016 EPS of $1.10, and full-year EPS of $3.21. Adjusted fourth-quarter 2016 EPS (non-GAAP) of 86 cents excluded 24 cents in net gains related to mark-to-market pension and OPEB (other post-employment benefits) adjustments and severance-related costs. This compares with adjusted fourth-quarter 2015 earnings of 89 cents per share, which primarily excluded pension and OPEB adjustments and severance-related costs.

“We are positioning Verizon for future growth and continued sustainable shareholder value,” said Chairman and CEO Lowell McAdam. “In the fourth quarter we expanded our customer base in highly


competitive wireless and broadband markets. This capped a year in which we delivered solid results and returned value to shareholders, including $9.3 billion in dividends. We enter 2017 with confidence, based on our investments in next-generation networks and the new capabilities we have acquired. Our goal is to continue to earn our customers’ loyalty every day in a rapidly expanding mobile-first digital world.”

Consolidated results

Total consolidated operating revenues in fourth-quarter 2016 were $32.3 billion, a 5.6 percent decrease compared with fourth-quarter 2015. Full-year 2016 revenues were nearly $126.0 billion, a 4.3 percent decline. Excluding revenues from since-divested local landline businesses and AOL, adjusted full-year total operating revenues on a comparable basis (non-GAAP) would have declined approximately 2.4 percent.

Net income was $4.6 billion in fourth-quarter 2016, and net income margin was 14.2 percent. EBITDA (non-GAAP, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled $12.0 billion, and the consolidated EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 37.1 percent in fourth-quarter 2016.

During 2016, Verizon invested in its networks with $17.1 billion in capital expenditures, completed wireline divestitures of three markets, negotiated new labor contracts, executed successful technical trials of 5G wireless service and expanded its new growth businesses.

In these new markets the digital media business, led by AOL, generated $532 million in revenues net of traffic acquisition costs (non-GAAP) in fourth-quarter 2016. This declined about 5 percent year-over-year due to a revenue lift in fourth-quarter 2015 related to AOL’s Microsoft deal, but increased around 10 percent compared with third-quarter 2016.

IoT (Internet of Things) revenues, led by telematics, increased 21 percent on a comparable basis to fourth-quarter 2015, to $243 million. Verizon expects to sustain this trend in strong IoT revenue growth. Including acquisitions, IoT revenues increased more than 60 percent in fourth-quarter 2016.

Verizon Wireless highlights

 

   

Verizon reported 591,000 retail postpaid net additions in fourth-quarter 2016. These net additions exclude wholesale device and wholesale IoT connections. At year-end 2016, Verizon had 114.2 million retail connections, a 1.9 percent year-over-year increase. Verizon’s industry-leading retail postpaid connections base grew 2.1 percent to 108.8 million, and retail prepaid connections totaled 5.4 million. Full-year postpaid net additions of 2.3 million included 1.8 million 4G smartphones and 1.4 million 4G tablets, offset primarily by declines in basic phones and 3G smartphones.

Total revenues were $23.4 billion in fourth-quarter 2016, a decline of 1.5 percent compared with fourth-quarter 2015, as more customers continued to choose unsubsidized device payment plans. For the full year, revenues totaled $89.2 billion, a decline of 2.7 percent. Service revenues plus device payment plan billings increased 1.7 percent in fourth-quarter 2016, compared with fourth-quarter 2015.

 

   

Retail postpaid churn was 1.10 percent in fourth-quarter 2016, a year-over-year increase of 14 basis points, as strong retention in the phone base was offset by increased churn in tablets. Phone customer loyalty remained high. In fourth-quarter 2016, retail postpaid phone churn remained below 0.90 percent for the seventh consecutive quarter.

 

   

At year-end 2016, approximately 67 percent of postpaid phone customers were on a non-subsidized service pricing plan, ahead of target due to high volumes in fourth-quarter 2016.

 

   

The percentage of phone activations on device payment plans increased to about 77 percent in fourth-quarter 2016, compared with about 70 percent in third-quarter 2016 and 67 percent in fourth-quarter 2015. Verizon expects the first-quarter 2017 take rate for device payment plans to be similar to fourth-quarter 2016. At year-end, approximately 46 percent of postpaid phone customers had a device payment plan.

 

   

The 591,000 retail postpaid net additions in fourth-quarter 2016 included 552,000 4G LTE smartphones. With declines in basic and 3G phones, net phone additions were 167,000 in fourth-quarter 2016, compared to a net decrease of 36,000 in third-quarter 2016. Tablet net additions totaled 196,000 in fourth-quarter 2016.

 

   

Segment operating income in fourth-quarter 2016 was $6.3 billion, and segment operating income margin was 27.0 percent. In fourth-quarter 2016, Verizon Wireless generated $8.6 billion in segment EBITDA (non-GAAP), a year-over-year decrease of 5.2 percent. Segment EBITDA margin on total revenues (non-GAAP) was 36.9 percent, compared with 38.4 percent in fourth-quarter 2015.

 

   

In fourth-quarter 2016, overall traffic on LTE increased by approximately 49 percent compared with fourth-quarter 2015, while Verizon extended its lead in the industry’s third-party network performance studies across the country.

Wireline highlights

 

   

Total wireline revenues decreased 3.1 percent, to $7.8 billion, comparing fourth-quarter 2016 with fourth-quarter 2015. Retail consumer revenues grew 0.2 percent, to $3.2 billion, supported by consumer Fios revenue growth.

 

   

Total Fios revenues grew 4.4 percent, to $2.9 billion, comparing fourth-quarter 2016 with fourth-quarter 2015. Full-year Fios revenues were $11.2 billion in 2016, a 4.6 percent increase compared with 2015.

 

   

In fourth-quarter 2016, Verizon added a net of 68,000 Fios Internet connections and 21,000 Fios Video connections. Customer demand for Custom TV continues to remain strong. At year-end, Verizon had 5.7 million Fios Internet connections and 4.7 million Fios Video connections.

 

   

In the fourth quarter, Verizon began offering consumer and business fiber-based services to customers in Boston, as part of the company’s One Fiber initiative.

Wireline operating income was $414 million in fourth-quarter 2016, compared with $7 million in fourth-quarter 2015. Segment operating income margin was 5.3 percent in fourth-quarter 2016. Segment EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $1.9 billion in fourth-quarter 2016, up 17.7 percent from fourth-quarter 2015. Segment EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) was 24.1 percent in fourth-quarter 2016, compared with 19.8 percent in fourth-quarter 2015.

 

   

During the fourth quarter, Verizon Enterprise Solutions entered into new agreements, continued or completed work with a number of clients, including AECOM, ICICI Bank, LBC Tank Terminals Group, Nanyang Technological University and Target Corporation.

Outlook and forward-looking items

Verizon expects the following:

 

   

Full-year 2017 consolidated revenues, on an organic basis, to be fairly consistent with 2016, with improvement in wireless service revenue and equipment revenue trends; also, full-year 2017 consolidated adjusted EPS trends to be similar to consolidated revenue trends;

 

   

Consolidated capital spending for 2017 in the range of $16.8 billion to $17.5 billion;

 

   

Minimum pension funding requirements of approximately $600 million in 2017;

 

   

The 2017 effective tax rate to be in the range of 34 percent to 36 percent, excluding impacts from potential tax reform;

 

   

On track for a return by the 2018-2019 timeframe to the company’s credit-rating profile prior to the acquisition of Vodafone’s indirect 45 percent interest in Verizon Wireless in early 2014.

Regarding pending transactions, Verizon expects its acquisition of XO Communications to close in first-quarter 2017 and its sale of data centers to Equinix to close in second-quarter 2017. Regarding the Yahoo acquisition, Verizon continues to work with Yahoo to assess the impact of data breaches.
