(or 77 cents on a non-GAAP adjusted basis) in 3Q 2013.
Wireless
* Added 1.5 million net retail connections; retail postpaid churn of 1.00
percent; 106.2 million total retail connections; 100.1 million total retail

revenue per user) up 10.3 percent.
* 13.4 percent year-over-year increase in FiOS revenues; 162,000 FiOS

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today reported double-digit
year-over-year percentage growth in reported and adjusted earnings per share
for the 10th time in the past 11 quarters.
The company posted another strong quarter of Verizon Wireless connections
growth and profitability, and customer growth for FiOS fiber-optic services.
Chairman and CEO Lowell McAdam said: "We have great confidence heading into the
fourth quarter, as Verizon continues to deliver consistently strong operating
and financial results. We see continued, healthy customer demand for wireless
and broadband services, and we are encouraged by the growth we are starting to
see in the areas of video delivery and machine-to-machine. Our cash generation
remains strong, and last month we were pleased to announce board approval of a
quarterly dividend increase for the eighth consecutive year."
Verizon reported 89 cents in EPS in third-quarter 2014, compared with 78 cents
per share in third-quarter 2013. No special items impacted third-quarter 2014
earnings. Third-quarter 2013 results included a non-operational net gain of
1 cent per share.
The 89 cents in EPS in third-quarter 2014 is a 15.6 percent increase compared
with 77 cents per share on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP) in third-quarter 2013.
Consolidated Highlights
* Total operating revenues in third-quarter 2014 were $31.6 billion, a
4.3 percent increase compared with third-quarter 2013. Excluding
third-quarter 2013 revenues of the public sector business Verizon
divested at the beginning of third-quarter 2014, the comparable
growth rate (non-GAAP) would have been 4.9 percent.
* Capital expenditures totaled $12.6 billion through the first nine months of
2014, up 6.9 percent year over year. Verizon projects capital spending of
around $17 billion for full-year 2014, with consistent wireless capital
spending throughout the year to stay ahead of customer demand by adding
capacity to optimize the company's 4G LTE network.
* Verizon continues to target consolidated top-line growth of 4 percent in
2014. For the full year, results for consolidated adjusted and wireless
segment EBITDA service margin (non-GAAP, based on earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization) will be dependent on fourth-quarter
volumes and installment take rates. Wireline segment EBITDA margin remains
on track to expand on a full-year basis.
* New revenue streams from machine-to-machine and telematics totaled
$150 million in third-quarter 2014 - or more than $400 million through the
first nine months of 2014, an increase of more than 40 percent year to
date.
Verizon Wireless Delivers Strong Customer Additions and Profitability
In third-quarter 2014, Verizon Wireless delivered strong growth in retail
postpaid net connections, a high number of tablet additions, an increase in
smartphone penetration and continued high segment EBITDA margin on service

* Retail postpaid churn was 1.00 percent in the third quarter, an increase of
6 basis points sequentially and 3 basis points year over year. Retail churn
was 1.29 percent in the third quarter, up 4 basis points sequentially and
1 basis point year over year.
* The company continued to enhance its 4G LTE device lineup. In the third
quarter, Verizon Wireless launched the HTC One Remix, LG G Vista, Kyocera
Brigadier, HTC One (M8) for Windows, Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and New Moto
X smartphones; the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 6620L, and
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (10.1) and Tab S 10.5 tablets.
* During the third quarter, Verizon Wireless continued to add capacity to its
4G LTE network, the largest in the United States, using AWS-1 spectrum.
This additional bandwidth, called XLTE, is now available in more than
400 markets across the country.
Wireline Consumer Revenue Growth Remains Strong
Verizon's wireline segment reported continued strong results for consumer
services, where year-over-year quarterly revenues now have grown by more than 4
percent for nine consecutive quarters.
Wireline Financial Highlights
* Total revenues were $9.6 billion in third-quarter 2014, down 0.8 percent
year over year. Consumer revenues were $3.9 billion, up 4.5 percent
compared with third-quarter 2013, with FiOS revenues representing

to $125.32 per month in third-quarter 2014, up 10.3 percent compared with
third-quarter 2013.

third-quarter 2014 with third-quarter 2013.
* Wireline operating income margin was 2.3 percent in third-quarter 2014, up
from 1.5 percent in third-quarter 2013. Segment EBITDA margin (non-GAAP)
was 23.0 percent in third-quarter 2014, flat compared with third-quarter
2013.
* Sales of strategic services to enterprise customers increased 1.0 percent,
to $2.1 billion, compared with third-quarter 2013. Strategic services
include private IP, Ethernet, data center, cloud, security and managed
services.
Wireline Operational Highlights
* In third-quarter 2014, Verizon added 162,000 net new FiOS Internet
connections and 114,000 net new FiOS Video connections. Verizon had totals
of 6.5 million FiOS Internet and 5.5 million FiOS Video connections at the
end of the third quarter, representing year-over-year increases of
8.8 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively.
* FiOS Internet penetration (subscribers as a percentage of potential
subscribers) was 40.6 percent at the end of third-quarter 2014, compared
with 39.2 percent at the end of third-quarter 2013. In the same periods,
FiOS Video penetration was 35.5 percent, compared with 34.9 percent. The
FiOS network passed 19.7 million premises by the end of third-quarter 2014.
* By the end of third-quarter 2014, 57 percent of consumer FiOS Internet
customers subscribed to FiOS Quantum, which provides speeds ranging from
50 to 500 megabits per second, up from 55 percent at the end of
second-quarter 2014.
* As of this week, nearly 5 million FiOS customers have already been upgraded
to SpeedMatch upload speeds that mirror download speeds. This upgrade, at
no additional customer cost, helps distinguish the benefits of fiber-based
broadband.
* Broadband connections totaled 9.1 million at the end of third-quarter 2014,
a 1.7 percent year-over-year increase. Net broadband connections increased
by 69,000 in third-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 customers with more resilient
infrastructure and reduce repairs, which improves customer satisfaction and
reduces costs. In third-quarter 2014, Verizon migrated an additional 55,000
customers to fiber, bringing the year-to-date total to around 200,000.
* In the third quarter, Verizon Enterprise Solutions began deploying
innovative enterprise-grade network, cloud, security, mobility and other
technology solutions for some of the world's strongest brands: healthcare
clients CVS Health, Carestream Health and Atlantic Health System; public
sector customers such as the Australian Taxation Office, Australian
Department of Foreign Affairs, California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) and Corporation for Education Initiatives in California (CENIC);
and industry leaders such as Avianet, Dun & Bradstreet, Property Exchange
Australia (PEXA), Telerx, TruGreen and Vanguard Logistics Services (USA),
Inc.
