Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today reported its fifthconsecutive quarter of double-digit percentage growth in operating income andearnings per share. First-quarter 2014 results included the impact ofFebruary's close of the $130 billion transaction to acquire full ownership ofVerizon Wireless. Lowell McAdam, Verizon chairman and CEO, said: "Verizon has delivereddouble-digit earnings growth in eight of the past nine quarters, and infirst-quarter 2014 we posted our strongest consolidated revenue growth in fivequarters. With the wireless transaction now behind us, we have great confidencein our ability to sustain these strong results. "We are already seeing the expected earnings accretion from the transaction,"McAdam added. "The full access we now have to the significant cash flows ofVerizon Wireless is energizing our efforts to provide customers with productand service innovations and to enable powerful solutions to some of the world'sbiggest challenges." Verizon reported $1.15 in EPS in first-quarter 2014, compared with 68 cents pershare in first-quarter 2013. First-quarter 2014 results included an after-taxgain of approximately $1.9 billion (55 cents per share) related to the sale ofVerizon's minority interest in Vodafone Omnitel as part of the wirelesstransaction, and charges of $575 million (17 cents per share) related to debtredemption and $260 million (8 cents per share) in interest and financing costsrelated to the wireless transaction. On an adjusted basis (non-GAAP), Verizon reported EPS of 84 cents infirst-quarter 2014, compared with 68 cents per share in first-quarter 2013 - anincrease of 23.5 percent. With the transaction to acquire full ownership of Verizon Wireless closing onFeb. 21, Verizon's first-quarter 2014 results only include five weeks of thefull results of Verizon Wireless. On a non-GAAP, illustrative basis, adjustedEPS of 84 cents would have been 91 cents per share assuming 100 percentownership of Verizon Wireless and all shares issued in the transaction wereoutstanding for the full quarter. Consolidated Results Highlighted by Top-Line Growth, Margin Expansion With continued solid operational execution and revenue growth across allstrategic areas - Verizon Wireless, FiOS and strategic enterprise services -Verizon delivered consolidated top-line growth and margin expansion infirst-quarter 2014. Consolidated Highlights * Driven by wireless and FiOS services, total operating revenues in first-quarter 2014 were $30.8 billion, a 4.8 percent increase compared with first-quarter 2013 and the company's highest quarterly growth rate in the past five quarters. * Continued effective cost management drove first-quarter 2014 operating income to $7.2 billion, a 15.1 percent increase compared with first-quarter 2013. * Consolidated operating income margin was 23.2 percent for first-quarter 2014, compared with 21.1 percent for first-quarter 2013. Consolidated EBITDA margin (non-GAAP, based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was 36.7 percent for first-quarter 2014, compared with 35.1 percent for first-quarter 2013. * Cash flow from operating activities totaled $7.1 billion in the quarter, compared with $7.5 billion in first-quarter 2013. First-quarter 2014 cash flow included an incremental $1.3 billion in interest payments and $200 million in pension funding that the company did not have in first-quarter 2013. Capital expenditures totaled $4.15 billion in first-quarter 2014, and the company continues to target full-year investments in the range of $16.5 billion to $17 billion, with a decrease in capital spending as a percentage of total revenues. * Free cash flow (non-GAAP, cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) totaled $3.0 billion in first-quarter 2014, compared with $3.9 billion in first-quarter 2013. With full ownership of Verizon Wireless, Verizon retains 100 percent - rather than 55 percent - of the Verizon Wireless free cash flow.

Wireline Consumer Revenue Growth Remains Strong Verizon's wireline segment reported continued strong results for consumerservices, where year-over-year quarterly revenues now have grown by more than 4percent for seven consecutive quarters. Wireline Financial Highlights * In first-quarter 2014, consumer revenues were $3.8 billion, an increase of 6.2 percent compared with first-quarter 2013. Consumer ARPU for wireline services increased to $120.17 in first-quarter 2014, up 11.3 percent compared with first-quarter 2013. * Representing 74 percent of total consumer revenues, FiOS consumer revenues grew 14.6 percent year over year, and total FiOS revenues grew 15.5 percent over the same periods. For the first time, total quarterly FiOS revenues surpassed $3 billion in first-quarter 2014. * Wireline operating income margin was 1.5 percent in first-quarter 2014, up from 0.1 percent in first-quarter 2013.

Verizon had totals of 6.2 million FiOS Internet and 5.3 million FiOS Video connections at the end of the first quarter, representing year-over-year increases of 9.9 percent and 8.7 percent, respectively. * FiOS Internet penetration (subscribers as a percentage of potential subscribers) was 39.7 percent at the end of first-quarter 2014, compared with 38.2 percent at the end of first-quarter 2013. In the same periods, FiOS Video penetration was 35.0 percent, compared with 34.1 percent. The FiOS network passed 18.9 million premises by the end of first-quarter 2014. * By the end of first-quarter 2014, 51 percent of consumer FiOS Internet customers subscribed to FiOS Quantum, which provides speeds ranging from 50 to 500 megabits per second, up from 46 percent at year-end 2013. * Broadband connections totaled more than 9.0 million at the end of first-quarter 2014, a 1.5 percent year-over-year increase. Net broadband connections increased by 16,000 in first-quarter 2014, as FiOS Internet net additions more than offset declines in DSL-based High Speed Internet connections. * Verizon has been replacing high-maintenance portions of its residential copper network with fiber optics to provide enhanced services and to reduce ongoing repair costs. In first-quarter 2014, Verizon migrated an additional 78,000 customers from copper. * In the first quarter, Verizon Enterprise Solutions began deploying innovative cloud, security, M2M (machine-to-machine), networking and other technology solutions for a variety of clients around the globe, including Kaiser Permanente, Molina Healthcare, Forest Pharmaceuticals, National DCP, American First Credit Union, Schindler Elevator, Sally Beauty Holdings, TE Connectivity, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Mitsuba Corporation, State of Delaware, Alcatel-Lucent and Oracle. In addition, it added Oracle, SAP, Hitachi Data Systems Corporation and CloudBees to the growing number of leading technology companies that will offer services on Verizon's next-generation cloud computing and cloud storage platform, Verizon Cloud. Other Guidance and Outlook Items Verizon continues to target consolidated top-line growth of 4 percent andadjusted consolidated EBITDA margin expansion in 2014, with positivecontributions to profitable growth from both wireless and wireline. In wireless, pricing under Verizon Edge - which makes it easy for customers tobuy a new smartphone with a low upfront cost and affordable monthly payments -had minimal impact on first-quarter 2014 ARPA and EBITDA margin. Continued Edgeadoption will likely have a greater impact on service revenue growth insubsequent quarters, as service revenues shift to equipment revenues. Verizon reiterates guidance of increases in wireless and wireline EBITDA andEBITDA margin in 2014.
