Findings

structure · concentration · cost lever
  • Consumer is ~79% of revenue at a high EBITDA margin — the engine behind the dividend.
  • Business is smaller and structurally thinner.
  • EBITDA is derived (EBIT + tagged D&A) — the level telecoms actually steer by.
  • A goodwill impairment sits in the detail — a non-cash flag to normalise when comparing years.

Segment walk — two options

Two stages for the same verified walk (VZ: 2 segments · Revenue, Gross profit, EBITDA, EBIT · Product Or Service). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.
o1
Option 1 — walk + interpretation
The walk takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance sit on the right. One page, one argument — the switches carry the depth.

Two equal fields: the walk on the left, the per-segment contribution table on the right. Picture and arithmetic side by side.

Segment contribution walk

Segment walk — who moved the group number

$bn / pp
134.83.9−0.5138.2FY24134.8VerizonCon-sumerVerizonBusinessFY25138.2

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — Revenue, by segment, vs FY−1: group revenue moved 134.8 → 138.2bn (+3.4bn) between FY24 and FY25. The switches change the view, not these numbers.
  • Verizon Consumer Group carried the move: 102.9 → 106.8bn (+3.9bn). Next was Verizon Business Group at -0.5bn.
  • Named segments explain +3.4bn of the +3.4bn; the residual -0.0bn is corporate and intersegment eliminations — the walk closes on the reported group figure.
  • Ladder levels this firm actually tags: Revenue, Gross profit, EBITDA, EBIT; a Product Or Service axis exists but is switched off — members sum to 234.8bn vs group 138.2bn — overlapping category levels, would double-count.

Segment values from the SEC EDGAR segment axis, operating rows only (OperatingSegments preferred over bare members to avoid double-counting; aggregation artifacts skipped). Volume/margin split is order-neutral: vol = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁), margin = ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm. Group anchor from the consolidated P&L (kpi).

Driver walk — volume, margin and the cost drivers behind it

$bn / pp
28.70.7−0.129.3FY2428.7VolumeCosts toEBITFY2529.3

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — EBIT, by driver, $bn, vs FY−1: ebit moved 28.7 → 29.3bn (+0.6bn) from FY24 to FY25.
  • Split: volume +0.7bn (revenue 134.8 → 138.2bn) against margin -0.1bn (margin 21.3% → 21.2%, -0.1pp) — volume carried it.
  • Margin drivers: Costs to EBIT -0.15bn.
  • Levels available for this firm: EBITDA*, EBIT, Pre-tax, Net income. Windows: vs FY−1 … FY−3.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts (annual durations only). Driver contribution of a cost step = −Rev₀·Δ(step/Rev); tagged sub-lines are itemised and reconcile to the step. Volume/margin: margin-first = Δrev·m₁ and r₀·Δm; Shapley = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁) and ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm — both sum exactly to ΔP. In pp scale the volume effect is zero by construction.

Operating walk — three separate analyses

Three separate analyses (VZ: EBITDA, EBIT · 6 FY). Every bridge closes exactly on the reported figure; what the firm does not tag is visibly switched off.
1
Operating — the same move, two readings
The bridge to operating profit, switchable between cost drivers and segments. The bracket between driver and segment walk: WHAT moved and WHO moved, one anchor.
b09-60-40
2
Financing & tax — from EBIT to the bottom line
Non-operating result, then tax separated into the rate effect and the higher-base effect — together they equal the tax change exactly.

Operating bridge — the same move, by driver or by segment

$bn
28.70.7−0.129.3FY2428.7VolumeCosts toEBITFY2529.3

Findings, method and provenance

  • Operating. EBIT 28.7 → 29.3bn (+0.6bn). The same move reads two ways — by cost driver or by segment; both anchor on the reported group figure.
  • Financing & tax. Net income 17.9 → 17.6bn. Effective tax rate 21.9% → 22.3% (+0.4pp): rate effect -0.1bn, tax on the higher base +0.1bn — the rate moved the needle.
  • Exceptionals. None tagged in the latest year — no restructuring, impairment, disposal or acquisition-cost item. That is itself a finding.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts; segment view from the segment axis (operating rows only). Tax is split rate-versus-base: rate effect = −EBT₁·Δr, base effect = −ΔEBT·r₀ — together they equal the total tax change exactly. Exceptionals cover restructuring, goodwill and asset impairment, disposal gains/losses and acquisition costs, each only where the firm tags it.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Leverage moved up from 2.52× to 2.54× (FY24 → FY25).
  • Split, order-neutral: debt effect +0.08×, EBITDA effect -0.06× — the debt stock did the heavier lifting.
  • Net debt 120.9bn against EBITDA 47.6bn; cash 19.0bn offsets gross debt 140.0bn.
  • On a trailing-twelve-month basis the ratio reads 2.82× at 2026-03-31 — quarterly components are unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1, Q3 = 9M − H1, Q4 = FY − 9M); every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.

Two-factor Shapley decomposition (order-neutral): debt effect = ½·(ND₁−ND₀)·(1/E₀+1/E₁), EBITDA effect = ½·(ND₀+ND₁)·(1/E₁−1/E₀). Source: SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fiscal-year-end instants and full-year flows.

Leverage walk — version 3 of 3

Three layouts of the same verified analysis (VZ, net-debt walk). Same numbers, same Shapley split — only the staging differs. Pick one; the others get removed.
V1
Version 1 — quad
Four equal panels: two-effect bridge · leverage trend · debt vs earnings · findings. Everything on one page; each panel gets a quarter of the stage.
b11-quad
V2
Version 2 — max two charts per slide
Two pages, never more than two charts each. Page one pairs the two-effect bridge with the nested bridge at full size; page two puts the trend beside the growing build-up table.
b08-halb + b-chart-tabelle-paar
V3
Version 3 — figure, bridge, evidence
One page, read top-down: the four numbers first, the nested bridge as a wide band, then the build-up table growing underneath as the proof.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Return on equity 16.7% (-1.2pp vs FY24).
  • DuPont. margin -0.8pp, asset turnover -0.4pp, equity multiplier -0.0pp — margin did the most work. Margin 13.3% → 12.7%, turnover 0.35 → 0.34×, multiplier 3.83 → 3.82×.
  • ROIC 9.3% — NOPAT (EBIT at the effective tax rate) over equity plus debt less cash; the measure that ignores how the mix is financed.
  • Capital returned 11.48bn (buybacks 0.00, dividends 11.48) against free cash flow 20.13bn — 57% of it.

All inputs from the same statement layer as the P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow slides. ROE = net income / equity · ROA = net income / assets · ROIC = EBIT·(1 − effective tax rate) / (equity + debt − cash). DuPont splits ΔROE into margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier using the order-neutral Shapley decomposition for a three-factor product — the three contributions sum to the ROE change exactly.

Discussion, findings and sources

Discussion — what this deck says in four sentences

  • Size and direction. Revenue FY25 138.2bn (+3% vs FY24), net income 17.6bn.
  • Who moved it. 2 segments; the swing came from Verizon Consumer Group at +3.9bn of a +3.4bn group change.
  • What moved it. EBIT 28.7 → 29.3bn: volume +0.7, margin -0.1bn (21.3% → 21.2%) — volume carried it.
  • How it is funded. Net debt 120.9bn against EBITDA 47.6bn = 2.54× (prior year 2.52×).

Sources & limitations — including what does not work

Sources
  • SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fully loaded (extend_facts) into p1_VZ.sqlite; annual and quarterly durations separated by period length; segment values from the segment axis.
  • Charts throughout via chartsmcp (never hand-written SVG); slot size = viewBox ÷ k so labels land at 11 px in the deck.
Limitations
  • Statements: 5 fiscal years + 8 quarters. Quarterly values unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1 …); fiscal Q4 is derived, EPS Q4 left blank (not additive).
  • Segments: this firm tags the levels Revenue, Gross profit, EBITDA, EBIT — the filing carries no more; untagged levels are never estimated.
  • Second dimension (Product Or Service) is switched off: members sum to 234.8bn vs group 138.2bn — overlapping category levels, would double-count.
  • LTM series: quarterly EBITDA from unwound quarters; every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.
  • Not included: market data (price, multiples) and macro series — neither is in companyfacts; including them would mean inventing content.
