Summary
Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) filed a Form 8-K on August 8, 2019, to address a strategic reorganization that became effective on April 1, 2019. The company has restructured its operations into two primary reportable segments: the Verizon Consumer Group and the Verizon Business Group. This filing is primarily for recasting financial and related information within its previously filed 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K to align with this new operational structure. Investors should note that this 8-K does not introduce new financial performance data or events occurring after February 15, 2019, the filing date of the 2018 Form 10-K. Instead, it serves to update specific sections of the 2018 Form 10-K, including the Business, Properties, Management's Discussion and Analysis, and Financial Statements, to reflect the new two-segment reporting framework. For information on Verizon's performance since the end of 2018, investors are directed to its subsequent Form 10-Q filings for the quarters ending March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019.
