Verizon Communications Inc., common-size consolidated balance sheet: assets
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31).
The asset composition of the entity demonstrates significant shifts over the five-year period. A notable trend is the increasing proportion of cash and cash equivalents, rising substantially from 0.80% of total assets in 2021 to 4.71% in 2025. Conversely, the proportion of assets allocated to wireless licenses has decreased over the period, moving from 40.27% in 2021 to 38.85% in 2025. Goodwill also experienced a consistent decline as a percentage of total assets. Current assets showed an overall increase, particularly pronounced in the final year, while non-current assets decreased as a percentage of the total.
- Liquidity and Current Assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets generally remained stable between 9.68% and 10.53% from 2022 to 2024, but experienced a significant increase to 14.08% in 2025. This rise is largely attributable to the substantial increase in cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable remained relatively consistent, fluctuating within a narrow range between 6.45% and 6.79%. Inventories exhibited a slight downward trend, decreasing from 0.83% to 0.60% over the period.
- Long-Term Investments and Intangibles
- Wireless licenses, representing a substantial portion of total assets, decreased from 40.27% in 2021 to 38.85% in 2025. Goodwill experienced a more pronounced decline, falling from 7.80% to 5.65% during the same period. The combined weight of wireless licenses, goodwill, and other intangible assets decreased from 51.26% to 47.08%, indicating a potential shift in asset allocation away from these categories. Investments in unconsolidated businesses also showed a gradual decline.
- Other Asset Categories
- Operating lease right-of-use assets decreased steadily from 7.61% to 5.81% of total assets. Other assets increased from 3.64% in 2021 to 5.75% in 2025. Prepaid expenses and other showed a slight increase initially, peaking at 2.20% in 2022, before stabilizing around 2.06% - 2.07%. Collateral payments related to derivative contracts experienced volatility, peaking at 0.60% in 2022 before decreasing to 0.27% in 2025. Prepaid taxes showed an initial decrease, followed by an increase in later years.
The observed changes suggest a potential strategic shift in asset management, with an increased focus on liquidity and a reduction in the relative importance of intangible assets and long-term investments. The increase in 'Other assets' warrants further investigation to understand the underlying components driving this trend.
