The reduction will increase earnings for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2017, but will not have any impact on the 2017 statement of cash flows, Verizon said in a filing.
Verizon estimates that the impact of the law to earnings per share for the year ended December 31 is about $4.10.
Analysts and investors had expected that the law, which slashes the corporate tax rate from 35 per cent to 21 per cent, to boost corporate earnings. Telecom companies stand to benefit because they are primarily domestic businesses.
