Management expects total revenue to increase 4.0%-8.0% year over year in FY11, as a result of continued strength in wireless due to increased smartphone penetration as well as stabilization of wireline business owing to strong enterprise strategic services and FiOS services.
For 4Q11, the Company expects smartphone sales to be strong, driven by iPhone 4S and LTE devices that would lead to acceleration of subscriber growth and increased ARPU. With respect to prepaid, Verizon rolled out its $50 unlimited prepaid plan in mid-September, which would increase prepaid additions.
As of October 20, Verizon deployed 4G LTE services in 165 markets, covering 186 million people. With this, the Company surpassed its FY11 target to cover 185 million people by the end of FY11.
On the wireline side, Verizon continues to enhance its FiOS penetration (FiOS Internet and FiOS TV services) progressively across all markets. Verizon cleared the FiOS installation backlog, which stemmed from the severe storm in the East Coast and the 14-day labor strike. The firms believe this move would add 200,000 subscribers in each FiOS TV and FiOS Internet services in 4Q11. As global business markets are showing signs of stabilization, the firms believe Verizon will drive wireline revenue growth and margin expansion based on FiOS services, enterprise strategic services as well as cost-reduction efforts.
Despite the 3Q11 pressure from the storms and the strike and the dilution associated with the subsidization of the iPhone, Verizon is on track to generate FY11 EPS growth of 5.0NaV year over year.
According to the firms, the migration of data traffic from 3G to 4G network would enhance the company’s operating efficiency and will help to drive improved returns going forward.
The firms expect net income to increase 5.7% in FY11, 16.2% in FY12, and 12.4% in FY13, with an increasing three-year CAGR (2010–2013) of 11.4%. The firms expect diluted shares outstanding to increase 0.2% in FY11 and then remain flat in FY12 and FY13, with a three-year CAGR (2010–2013) of 0.1%.
