Net income
Net income increased from 1667 million USD in 2011 to 2159 million USD in 2012, followed by a moderate decline to 1844 million USD in 2015. This indicates some fluctuations but generally a positive profitability performance over the period.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation steadily rose from 2994 million USD in 2011 to 3560 million USD in 2015, reflecting ongoing asset usage and investments in fixed assets. Amortization showed an upward trend, increasing from 33 million USD in 2011 to 136 million USD in 2015, suggesting growing intangible asset amortization.
Unusual and Nonrecurring Items
There were notable nonrecurring items such as a pretax gain on settlement of Verizon Wireless agency agreement of -120 million USD in 2015, asset impairments of 60 million USD in 2011, and a pretax gain on sale of an investment in Clearwire Corporation in 2012 at -64 million USD. Income from equity-method investments was negative or missing after 2011, indicating possible reduced contributions or losses from associated companies.
Deferred Income Taxes and Equity-based Compensation
Deferred income taxes fluctuated over the years without a clear trend, decreasing from 638 million USD in 2011 to 363 million USD in 2013, then rising again in 2014. Equity-based compensation expense increased from 112 million USD in 2011 to peak at 182 million USD in 2014 before slightly declining in 2015. The related excess tax benefits mirrored this trend inversely.
Operating Cash Flow and Changes in Working Capital
Cash provided by operating activities remained strong and showed an increasing trend from 5688 million USD in 2011 to 6539 million USD in 2015. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were mostly positive in later years, suggesting effective working capital management contributing to cash flow improvements.
Capital Expenditures and Investing Activities
Capital expenditures increased steadily from 2937 million USD in 2011 to 4446 million USD in 2015, reflecting continued investment in infrastructure or assets. Cash used by investing activities also increased correspondingly, indicating ongoing capital deployment. Business acquisitions peaked in 2012 at -1340 million USD but ceased afterward. Proceeds from sale or maturity of investments were high in 2013 but lower in other years.
Financing Activities
There was significant repayment of long-term debt across the years, with the highest amounts in 2012 and 2014. Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt were notable in 2011 and 2012 but not recorded afterward. Dividends paid steadily increased from 642 million USD in 2011 to 865 million USD in 2015. Repurchases of common stock occurred predominantly in the initial years but sharply declined by 2015. Overall cash used by financing activities declined after peaking in 2013, indicating reduced net cash outflows for financing.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and equivalents fluctuated considerably, with a significant increase in 2011 by 2130 million USD, followed by decreases in 2012 and 2013. The ending cash balance was lowest in 2013 at 525 million USD but recovered to 1170 million USD in 2015, reflecting net positive cash flow management.
