Operating revenues exhibit a consistent pattern of seasonality driven primarily by wireless equipment sales, which peak significantly in the fourth quarter of each year. In contrast, service revenues and other income remain remarkably stable, maintaining a narrow range between $26.7 billion and $28.7 billion throughout the analyzed period. This stability in service revenue provides a reliable foundation for the company's financial performance, offsetting the volatility associated with equipment sales.

Gross Profitability and Cost Structure
Gross profit has remained largely stable, generally fluctuating between $19 billion and $20.7 billion per quarter. While the cost of wireless equipment mirrors the seasonal spikes of equipment revenue, the cost of services has remained relatively flat, hovering around $7 billion per quarter. This indicates a disciplined management of direct service costs despite fluctuations in overall revenue volume.
Operating Expense Trends
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses have shown an overall upward trajectory, increasing from approximately $7.4 billion in early 2021 to peaks exceeding $10 billion in late 2025. Similarly, depreciation and amortization expenses have trended upward, rising from $4.17 billion in March 2021 to $4.89 billion by March 2026, suggesting continuous investment in infrastructure and network assets.
Impact of Non-Recurring Items
A significant anomaly occurred in the quarter ending December 31, 2023, where a Verizon Business Group goodwill impairment of $5.84 billion was recorded. This non-cash charge severely impacted the bottom line, resulting in an operating income of $600 million and a net loss of $2.57 billion for that specific period, contrasting sharply with the typical quarterly net income range of $4 billion to $6 billion.
Financial Costs and Interest Burden
There is a pronounced upward trend in interest expenses, which have increased from $1.1 billion in March 2021 to $1.94 billion by March 2026. This steady climb suggests either an increase in total debt obligations or the impact of higher prevailing interest rates on floating-rate debt, which puts incremental pressure on the income before taxes.
Net Income Performance
Excluding the impairment loss in late 2023, net income attributable to Verizon has remained relatively resilient, typically ranging between $3.3 billion and $6.5 billion. However, a noticeable dip in net income to $2.34 billion is observed in the quarter ending December 31, 2025, coinciding with a spike in SG&A expenses and interest costs.
