Consolidated net income for the third quarter was $3.4 billion compared to $4.9 billion in the prior year period. The year over year decline in net income was primarily driven by severance charges of $1.7 billion related to separations under our voluntary separation program for select U.S.-based management employees as well as other headcount reduction initiatives.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter was $12.5 billion compared to $12.2 billion in the prior year period. This result was driven by Wireless service revenue growth and the benefits of lower upgrade volumes, and was partially offset by ongoing declines in Verizon Business Group wireline revenue.
Consolidated operating expenses for the third quarter were $27.4 billion, up 6.0% year over year. Consolidated operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and special items,1 were $20.8 billion, down 1.2% year over year.
Interest expense for the third quarter was $1.7 billion compared to $1.4 billion for the prior year period due to lower capitalized interest and higher interest rates on our outstanding debt balance.
Earnings per share (EPS) was $0.78 compared to EPS of $1.13 in the prior year period. Reported third quarter 2024 financial results reflected $2.3 billion in charges related to the following special items:
•severance charge of $1.7 billion related to separations under our voluntary separation program for select U.S.-based management employees as well as other headcount reduction initiatives;
•asset and business rationalization charge of $374 million predominately related to the decision to cease use of certain real estate assets and exit non-strategic portions of certain businesses, as part of our continued transformation initiatives; and
•amortization of intangible assets of $186 million related to Tracfone and other acquisitions.
Adjusted EPS1 for the third quarter was $1.19 compared to $1.22 in the prior year period.
