Dividends, Repurchase Program Reflect Confidence

Reflecting confidence in Verizon’s business model and continued strong cash flows, Verizon’s Board of Directors announced during the third quarter that it had increased the company’s quarterly dividend 6.2 percent, beginning with the Nov. 1 dividend.

Verizon also repurchased nearly $800 million of its shares in the quarter, for a total of $1.7 billion in the last nine months. Verizon is increasing the 2007 target for its share repurchase program to $2.5 billion, up $500 million from the original target.
