Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
The financial performance exhibited significant fluctuations over the observed period. Operating revenues initially demonstrated growth through June 2021, peaking at US$44.045 billion, before experiencing a decline through September 2021. Revenues remained relatively stable between US$29.643 billion and US$32.298 billion from March 2022 through December 2024, with a notable increase to US$33.466 billion in December 2025.
Cost of revenues generally mirrored the trend in operating revenues, decreasing from US$21.099 billion in June 2021 to US$13.571 billion in December 2022, before increasing again to US$14.818 billion in December 2025. This resulted in fluctuating gross profit figures, peaking at US$22.946 billion in June 2021 and reaching US$18.648 billion in December 2025.
Operating Income
Operating income displayed considerable volatility. A substantial decrease occurred in December 2022, resulting in an operating loss of US$23.197 billion. This was followed by a recovery, with operating income reaching US$6.501 billion in June 2025. Prior to the December 2022 loss, operating income generally ranged between US$5.308 billion and US$7.812 billion.
Net Income Attributable to Common Stock
Net income attributable to common stock followed a similar pattern to operating income, with a significant loss of US$23.571 billion in December 2022. The period before this loss showed net income between US$1.514 billion and US$5.868 billion. A strong recovery was observed in later periods, with net income reaching US$9.278 billion in September 2025 and US$3.752 billion in December 2025.
Service revenues remained the largest component of operating revenues throughout the period, consistently contributing between US$23.999 billion and US$38.956 billion per quarter. Equipment revenues fluctuated, generally ranging between US$5.067 billion and US$8.074 billion. Broadcast, programming and operations costs were only reported through September 2021, showing a decline over that period.
Expense Trends
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively stable, generally between US$6.958 billion and US$9.382 billion. Depreciation and amortization expenses also exhibited relative stability, ranging from US$4.450 billion to US$5.809 billion. Interest expense remained consistent, fluctuating between US$1.420 billion and US$1.870 billion. Asset impairments and abandonments and restructuring costs were significant in June 2021 and December 2022, impacting overall profitability.
Other income (expense), net, experienced substantial swings, including a significant negative impact in December 2022. This volatility contributed to the overall fluctuations in income from continuing operations. Income tax expense generally tracked net income, with a negative expense (benefit) observed in periods of net loss.
