Financial Performance

3 Insights

Total operating revenues increased slightly to $32.8 billion, up from $32.6 billion year-over-year, primarily driven by a rise in service revenues, which offset a decrease in wireless equipment revenues. This indicates a shift towards service-based income.

Operating expenses decreased to $25.0 billion from $25.4 billion year-over-year, but operating income only saw a modest increase to $7.8 billion from $7.2 billion. This suggests that while cost-cutting measures are in place, they are not significantly improving profitability.

Net income remained relatively stable at $4.7 billion, compared to $4.8 billion in the prior year, indicating that despite slight revenue gains and cost reductions, overall profitability has not significantly improved.
