1 US$ in millions


Net Income Attributable to Verizon
The net income shows considerable volatility over the examined period. Starting from 7,397 million US dollars in 2005, it experienced a general decline reaching its lowest point at 875 million in 2012. However, a significant recovery followed, peaking at 30,101 million in 2017. After this peak, the net income again fell sharply to 11,614 million in 2023 before showing an upward trend to 17,506 million in 2024. This pattern indicates fluctuating profitability influenced by varying factors over the years.
Total Assets
Total assets consistently increased throughout the entire period, growing from 168,130 million US dollars in 2005 to 384,711 million in 2024. Despite minor decreases from 2009 to 2010 and from 2011 to 2012, the overall trend is one of expansion and asset accumulation, reflecting ongoing investment and growth in the company's asset base.
Return on Assets (ROA)
The return on assets percentage exhibits notable fluctuations that generally align with the net income trends. From 4.4% in 2005, ROA declined to a low of 0.39% in 2012, mirroring the dip in net income. Following this period, ROA rose significantly to peak at 11.71% in 2017, coinciding with the highest net income recorded. Post-2017, ROA declined again to 3.05% by 2023, then increased to 4.55% in 2024. These variations reflect changes in profitability efficiency relative to the asset base over time.
Overall Trends and Insights
The data reveals a general pattern of growth in assets paired with cyclical fluctuations in profitability. The sharp declines in net income and ROA around 2012 suggest challenges during that period, possibly due to market conditions or operational factors. The strong recovery through the mid-2010s indicates effective strategic responses or improved market conditions. However, recent declines followed by partial recovery in net income and ROA indicate continued variability in financial performance. The steady increase in total assets suggests sustained investment capacity and possible expansion efforts throughout the years analyzed.
