Operating revenues exhibit a consistent seasonal pattern characterized by quarterly peaks in December, driven primarily by surges in wireless equipment revenues. While service revenues remain relatively stable, ranging between approximately 26.7 billion and 29.2 billion US dollars, wireless equipment revenues fluctuate significantly, reflecting cyclical consumer upgrade cycles. A gradual upward trajectory in total operating revenues is observed from 2021 through mid-2026, peaking at 36.38 billion US dollars in December 2025.
- Gross Profitability and Cost Structure
- Gross profit demonstrates a steady incremental increase, rising from 19.3 billion US dollars in early 2021 to 21.1 billion US dollars by June 2026. This growth is maintained despite the volatility in equipment costs, which track closely with equipment revenue. Cost of services remains remarkably consistent, typically fluctuating within a narrow band between 6.8 billion and 8.3 billion US dollars per quarter.
- Operating Expenses and Impairments
- Selling, general and administrative expenses show a general upward trend, with notable spikes occurring in December of each year. A significant non-recurring event occurred in December 2023, where a goodwill impairment of 5.84 billion US dollars within the Verizon Business Group severely reduced operating income for that period to 600 million US dollars. Depreciation and amortization expenses have also seen a gradual climb, increasing from approximately 4.0 billion US dollars per quarter in 2021 to 5.0 billion US dollars by mid-2026.
- Financial Costs and Interest Burden
- A pronounced upward trend is evident in interest expenses, which have nearly doubled over the analyzed period. Expenses moved from a range of 739 million to 1.1 billion US dollars in 2021 to reach nearly 2.0 billion US dollars by June 2026. This trend indicates an increasing cost of debt servicing or an expansion of the company's total debt load.
- Net Income Volatility
- Net income attributable to Verizon typically fluctuates between 4.5 billion and 6.5 billion US dollars per quarter. However, the bottom line is subject to significant volatility due to the aforementioned impairment in December 2023, resulting in a net loss of 2.7 billion US dollars for that quarter. Another notable dip occurred in December 2025, where net income fell to 2.34 billion US dollars, coinciding with a peak in SG&A and interest expenses.
