2015-07-21 15:23:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Verizon Communications reported USD 32.22 billion in operating revenue in the second quarter, up 2.4 percent on the second quarter of 2014. The operator said top-line revenue growth was driven by wireless and FiOS, with emerging revenue streams from the IoT and telematics, and continued strong cash flow. Operating profit grew 1.8 percent to USD 7.82 billion and net profit by 0.7 percent to USD 4.35 billion, for a 2 percent increase in basic earnings per common share to USD 1.04. Verizon expects a higher year-over-year revenue growth rate in the third quarter and at least 3 percent growth in the full year, both excluding revenue from AOL, which it acquired in the second quarter. Verizon Wireless had 109.5 million retail connections at the end of June, 4.7 percent more than a year earlier. Postpaid retail customers increased by 1.1 million in the second quarter and by 5.2 percent in a year to 103.7 million at the end of June. Verizon added 72,000 net new FiOS internet connections and 26,000 new FiOS video connections in the quarter to reach 6.8 million and 5.8 million, respectively.
