The six-month columns are reported separately in the year-to-date blocks rather than mixed in among the quarters.", "Verizon's 10-Q presents its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on a six-month basis only - there is no three-month column anywhere in that statement.

Operating expenses run from cost of services and cost of wireless equipment through selling, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization to a single total, which is deducted from total operating revenues to give operating income. No gross profit or gross margin is reported here because the filings report none.", "The balance sheet prints a total for current liabilities and a total for long-term liabilities but no combined total liabilities caption, so the total liabilities figure here is the sum of those two printed subtotals. Total debt is likewise the sum of debt maturing within one year and long-term debt. At June 30, 2026 that comes to $165,231 million, the same total debt Verizon states in its second-quarter 2026 earnings release (accession 0000732712-26-000040); at December 31, 2025 it comes to $158,150 million, which also matches that release.", "Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditures, which is Verizon's own definition of the measure; Verizon labels it a non-GAAP financial measure.

The resulting amounts - $20,126 million for 2025, $19,822 million for 2024 and $18,708 million for 2023 - match the free cash flow schedule Verizon publishes in its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings release, furnished as Exhibit 99 to the Form 8-K filed January 30, 2026 (accession 0000732712-26-000003), which prints the same operating cash flow and capital expenditure amounts for those three years.

Four of its lines can be checked against the twelve-month column Verizon publishes in its second-quarter 2026 earnings release, and all four agree exactly - net income of $16,599 million, depreciation and amortization of $19,037 million, interest expense of $7,348 million and an income tax provision of $5,049 million. Weighted-average share counts are not additive across periods, so the trailing counts were built by backing the first half of 2025 out of the full year and averaging the resulting second half with the first half of 2026; the trailing per-share amounts follow from those counts.", "Purchase of common stock for treasury is carried in the year-to-date and trailing-twelve-month blocks but in none of the annual ones. The Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (accession 0000732712-26-000046) prints that line within financing activities - $3,500 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and none in the six months ended June 30, 2025 - while the cash flow statement in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (accession 0000732712-26-000007) prints no treasury purchase line at all for 2025, 2024 or 2023; its financing section runs from long-term and asset-backed borrowings and repayments through dividends paid to a single Other, net line. The annual blocks omit the line because the 10-K does not report one. That 10-K's statement of changes in equity shows the same thing from the other side: the treasury stock rollforward for each of the three years carries only shares issued out of treasury under employee and shareholder plans, and the treasury balance shrinks from $(4,013) million at the start of 2023 to $(3,821) million, $(3,583) million and $(3,255) million at the ends of 2023, 2024 and 2025, with no repurchase in any of those years.

It is what was declared in the period, not what was paid in cash; cash dividends paid are carried separately within the cash flow blocks.", "Beginning in the first quarter of 2026 Verizon changed how it disaggregates revenue within its Consumer and Business segments, and in the second quarter of 2026 it moved its international wireline connectivity and managed network services business out of the Business segment to Corporate and other after classifying those net assets as held for sale.

After a $219 million tax effect those items reduced net income by $1,591 million, or $0.38 per share. The comparable special items in the second quarter of 2025 were $192 million pre-tax and $143 million after a $49 million tax effect, or $0.03 per share, and consisted entirely of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

The 2023 income statement carries a $5,841 million Verizon Business Group goodwill impairment, which the 10-K prints as a separate operating expense line and which is the reason 2023 operating income is well below 2024's and 2025's." ], "uncertainties": [ "No balance sheet is reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
