- Operating Revenues
- The operating revenues demonstrated a generally upward trend over the entire period, increasing from $75,112 million in 2005 to $134,788 million in 2024. Notable increments were observed between 2005 and 2009, where revenues rose steadily from $75,112 million to $107,808 million. Revenues stabilized somewhat during 2010-2014, fluctuating around the $125,000 million to $131,000 million range. A slight dip occurred in 2016, followed by gradual growth through 2022, peaking at $136,835 million, before experiencing a minor decline in 2023 and a slight recovery by 2024.
- Operating Income
- Operating income showed more volatility compared to revenues. It started at $14,814 million in 2005, experienced fluctuations without a clear linear trend, peaking significantly in 2013 at $31,968 million. Following 2013, operating income declined considerably in 2014 but rebounded strongly in 2015. From 2016 to 2022, operating income remained relatively high but somewhat variable, with a peak again in 2021 at $32,448 million. The latter years showed a decrease, with a notable drop to $22,877 million in 2023 before recovering to $28,686 million in 2024. This pattern indicates periods of heightened operational profitability interspersed with contractions.
- Net Income Attributable to Verizon
- Net income attributable to Verizon exhibited considerable fluctuation throughout the period, reflecting sensitivity to various internal and external factors. In the early years from 2005 to 2008, net income decreased steadily from $7,397 million to $875 million. A significant recovery was observed in 2009, jumping to $11,497 million, followed by further moderate increases and fluctuations through 2012. The highest net income was recorded in 2017 at $30,101 million, demonstrating a peak in profitability. Post-2017, net income showed volatility, falling sharply in 2018, rebounding somewhat in 2019 and beyond. A downward trend appeared in 2023 with $11,614 million, followed by a partial recovery to $17,506 million in 2024. This variability suggests periodic profit challenges and recovery phases, possibly correlated with market or operational dynamics.
- Overall Assessment
- The data indicates steady revenue growth over the long term, reflecting strengthening or expanding operational capabilities. Operating income and net income both showed cyclicality, with some years experiencing substantial gains and others marked by declines. These oscillations may warrant attention regarding cost management, operational efficiency, or external market influences. While revenues have generally climbed, profitability metrics reflect an environment of fluctuating earnings performance with episodes of both strong profitability and contraction.

The financial data indicates several noteworthy patterns and trends over the examined period.
- Current Assets
- The value of current assets exhibits considerable fluctuations throughout the years. A notable increase occurs in the initial years, reaching a peak around 2013 at approximately 70,994 million US dollars, which represents a significant rise compared to preceding years. However, following this peak, current assets sharply decline in 2014 to nearly 29,623 million, then stabilize with moderate growth and occasional decreases in subsequent years. From 2015 onwards, current assets generally fluctuate within the range of approximately 22,000 to 54,000 million US dollars, ending with an upward movement toward 40,523 million in 2024. This pattern suggests periods of asset restructuring or changing liquidity positions.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrate a persistent upward trend over the entire period. Starting at approximately 168,130 million US dollars in 2005, the assets gradually increase with some intermittent stability and minor fluctuations until around 2013. After this point, total assets rise steadily and more markedly, culminating at approximately 384,711 million US dollars in 2024. This consistent growth in total assets may reflect investments, acquisitions, or overall business expansion.
In summary, while current assets show volatility with a marked peak and subsequent stabilization, total assets present a clear and sustained growth trajectory. This contrast may indicate strategic management of liquidity and asset composition, aiming to maintain or enhance the company's resource base over time.

- Current Liabilities
- The current liabilities exhibit a generally increasing trend from 25,063 million US dollars in 2005 to 64,771 million in 2024. There are fluctuations throughout the period, with occasional decreases such as from 35,052 million in 2014 to 30,340 million in 2016, followed by steady increases thereafter. Notably, growth accelerates significantly from 2018 onwards, indicating an expanding short-term obligation profile.
- Total Liabilities
- Data for total liabilities begins in 2016 with a value of 220,148 million US dollars and shows a moderate upward trend peaking at 287,217 million in 2021. Following this peak, there is a slight downward trend toward 284,136 million in 2023, suggesting relative stability in the company's overall debt structure in the most recent years measured.
- Total Debt
- Total debt figures reveal considerable volatility early in the period. The value rises sharply from 31,157 million in 2007 to a peak of 113,271 million in 2013, followed by minor fluctuations but a general upward trajectory peaking at 150,868 million in 2021. A modest decline occurs in subsequent years, reaching 144,014 million in 2024. The substantial increase between 2007 and 2013 indicates periods of significant borrowing or refinancing activities.
- Equity Attributable to Verizon
- Equity levels show an initial increase from 39,680 million in 2005 to 50,581 million in 2007, followed by a decline to 12,298 million by 2013, indicating a period of equity contraction. Post-2013, equity experiences consistent growth, reaching 99,237 million in 2024. This recovery and growth reflect improved shareholder value and potentially retained earnings or capital increases in later years.

- Operating Activities Cash Flow
- The net cash provided by operating activities shows a generally increasing trend from 2005 through 2014, rising from $22,012 million in 2005 to a peak of $38,818 million in 2013. However, this peak is followed by a decline in 2014 to $30,631 million. There is notable volatility from 2015 onward, with a significant dip to $22,715 million in 2016, followed by a gradual recovery and new highs in 2020 at $41,768 million. Post-2020, the cash flow from operations experiences fluctuations but remains relatively strong, maintaining levels above $36,000 million in the subsequent years through 2024.
- Investing Activities Cash Flow
- Cash flows used in investing activities are consistently negative throughout the period, reflecting ongoing investments. The outflows fluctuate, with a relatively moderate range between 2005 and 2010, generally around $15,000 to $23,000 million annually. A marked increase in outflows is observed in 2008 at $31,579 million and again in 2016 at $30,043 million. The highest outflow occurs in 2021, reaching $67,153 million, indicating a substantial spike in investment activity or capital expenditure. Thereafter, the investing cash outflows decrease but remain elevated compared to earlier years, stabilizing around $18,000 to $23,000 million towards 2024.
- Financing Activities Cash Flow
- The net cash provided by (used in) financing activities is characterized by variability and several swings between positive and negative cash flows. From 2005 to 2007, cash flows are negative and deepen significantly in 2007 to -$11,697 million. In 2008, there is a sharp reversal with a positive inflow of $13,588 million, followed by fluctuations including a large positive inflow of $26,450 million in 2012. However, from 2013 onward, financing cash flows are predominantly negative, with substantial outflows reaching a low of -$57,705 million in 2014. After 2014, the trend moderates but remains negative or marginally positive in some years, showing less extreme fluctuations yet consistently indicating net repayment or reduction of financing in the later years through 2024.
- Overall Analysis
- The company demonstrates strong operational cash generation overall, with some volatility but an upward trend in the long term. The investing activities reveal ongoing capital expenditures or acquisitions contributing to consistent net cash outflows, with occasional spikes pointing to heightened investment periods. Financing cash flows exhibit a more erratic pattern, with alternating periods of cash inflow and significant outflows, suggesting active management of debt or equity financing, with a general shift towards net cash outflow in the recent decade. The interplay of these cash flow components suggests a company balancing aggressive investment with operational cash strength, alongside strategic financing decisions impacting net cash positions.

1, 2, 3 Data adjusted for splits and stock dividends.
The analysis of the financial data reveals distinct trends across earnings per share and dividend per share over a multi-year period.
- Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- The basic and diluted earnings per share exhibit a similar pattern throughout the observed years, indicating consistent proportionality between the two metrics. Initially, EPS showed a declining trend from 2.67 USD in 2005 to a low point around 0.31 USD in 2012. This period reflects a significant decrease in profitability on a per-share basis.
- Post-2012, earnings per share displayed marked volatility but generally followed an upward trajectory, peaking notably at 7.37 USD in 2017. This peak suggests an exceptional performance year, significantly enhancing shareholder value. Subsequent years saw fluctuations with EPS declining to 2.76 USD in 2023 before rising again to 4.15 USD in 2024, indicating variability in earnings but maintaining an overall higher level than the early years.
- Dividend Per Share
- Dividends per share show a steady and gradual increase over the entire period. Starting at 1.62 USD in 2005, dividends rose consistently each year without any decline, reaching 2.69 USD in 2024. This steady increment reflects a policy of increasing shareholder returns and may indicate management's confidence in sustained cash flow and earnings stability despite fluctuations in EPS.
- Overall Insights
- The contrast between the volatility in earnings per share and the consistent growth in dividends per share suggests a strategy oriented toward stable dividend payments, potentially to attract or retain investors seeking income stability. The sharp rise in EPS around 2017 could be attributed to extraordinary income events or operational improvements that did not result in immediate corresponding jumps in dividends.
- The declining trend in EPS until 2012, followed by recovery and growth, indicates a period of operational challenges succeeded by effective turnaround strategies. The data does not suggest any major dividend cuts in response to earnings volatility, underscoring a possibly strong balance sheet or cash reserve position.
