Slide:    13 Title: Endnotes Bookings is a non-GAAP statistical measure that represents sales activity associated with our print directories and Internet-based marketing solutions during the period.  Bookings associated with our local customers represent signed contracts during the period. Bookings associated with our national customers represent what has been published or fulfilled during the period.  The year over year change in bookings is calculated by dividing the difference between bookings in the current period and bookings generated in the prior year divided by the bookings generated in the prior year.Advertising sales is another non-GAAP statistical measure and consists of sales of advertising in print directories distributed during the period and Internet-based products and services with respect to which such advertising first appeared publicly during the period.  The year over year change in ad sales is calculated by dividing the difference between ad sales in the current period and the adjusted ad sales in the prior year divided by the adjusted ad sales in the prior year.  The adjustments made to the prior year’s ad sales are made in an attempt to create a same store sales metric.Figures are calculated on a rolling 4 quarter basis.  Total and non-bundled customers are measured on a published basis.  Bundled customers are counted on a contract basis.Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted costs exclude the following items in the applicable periods: impairment charges, fresh start accounting (for periods in which it had a material impact on results of operations), gains and losses on debt transactions, and stock based compensation and long-term incentive costs.2008 expenses exclude a one-time curtailment gain of $40 million gain related to the elimination of retiree health care and life insurance benefits for non-union employees. 2009 expenses exclude a one-time curtailment gain of $52 million gain related to the elimination of retiree health care and life insurance benefits for CWA and IBEW represented employees.Represents principal outstanding, which includes the fair value discount.  These figures differ from GAAP balances.

Slide:    16 Title: GAAP Reconciliations – Fresh Start And Other Adjustments The Company adopted fresh start accounting and reporting effective February 1, 2010, the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The financial statements as of the Fresh Start Reporting Date report the results of Dex One with no beginning retained earnings or accumulated deficit. Any presentation of Dex One represents the financial position and results of operations of a new reporting entity and is not comparable to prior periods presented by the Predecessor Company. The financial statements for periods ended prior to the Fresh Start Reporting Date do not include the effect of any changes in the Predecessor Company's capital structure or changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities as a result of fresh start accounting. As a result of the deferral and amortization method of revenue recognition, recognized gross advertising revenues reflect the amortization of advertising sales consummated in prior periods as well as in the current period. The adoption of fresh start accounting had a significant impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Fresh start accounting precluded us from recognizing deferred revenue of $69.0 million and $790.9 million and certain deferred expenses of $15.5 million and $172.6 million during the three and eleven months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, associated with advertising sales fulfilled prior to the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Thus, our reported results for the three and eleven months ended December 31, 2010 were not indicative of our underlying operating and financial performance and are not comparable to any current period presentation.  Accordingly, management has provided a non-GAAP analysis that compares the Company's (1) GAAP results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to Non-GAAP Adjusted Results for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and (2) GAAP results for the year ended December 31, 2011 to Non-GAAP Combined Adjusted Results for the year ended December 31, 2010 for net revenue through depreciation and amortization expenses.Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or related to, our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing our underlying business. Non-GAAP Adjusted Results adjusts GAAP results of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to (i) eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain related expenses noted above and (ii) exclude cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting of $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Non-GAAP Combined Adjusted Results (1) combines GAAP results of the Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and GAAP results of the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010 and (2) adjusts these combined amounts to  (i) eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain related expenses noted above and (ii) exclude cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting of $12.3 million for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010. Deferred directory costs, such as print, paper, distribution and commissions, relate to directories that have not yet been published and have been recorded at fair value, determined as (a) the estimated billable value of the published directory less (b) the expected costs to complete the directory, plus (c) a normal profit margin. This incremental fresh start accounting adjustment to step up the recorded value of the deferred directory costs to fair value is hereby referred to as “cost-uplift.” Cost-uplift has been amortized over the terms of the applicable directories, not to exceed twelve months. Fresh start accounting had an immaterial impact on our results of operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011. Therefore, we have not adjusted our GAAP results for these periods. Management believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted Results will help financial statement users better understand the material impact fresh start accounting had on the Company's results of operations for the three and eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and also offers a non-GAAP normalized comparison to GAAP results of the Company for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011. The Non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted Results presented below are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures. While the Non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted Results exclude the effects of fresh start accounting, it must be noted that the Non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted Results are not comparable to the Company's GAAP results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 and should not be treated as such. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Slide:    18 Title: GAAP Reconciliations – FY08, FY09, 4Q10, 3Q11, 4Q11 & FY11 Adjusted EBITDA and FY10 Combined Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or related to, our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing our underlying business. Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the year ended December 31, 2011 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for  (i) impairment charges, (ii) stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program and (iii) gain on sale of assets. Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is determined by adjusting EBITDA to (i) eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain expenses, (ii) exclude the impact of cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting and (iii) adjust for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program.  Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 is determined by adjusting EBITDA to (i) eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain expenses, (ii) exclude the impact of cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting, (iii) exclude goodwill and non-goodwill intangible asset impairment charges and (iv) adjust for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. Adjusted EBITDA of the Predecessor Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 is determined by adjusting EBITDA (i) for stock-based compensation expense, long-term incentive program and restricted stock units related to acquisitions, (ii) impairment charges and (iii) gains / losses on debt transactions. Adjusted EBITDA of the Predecessor Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 is determined by adjusting EBITDA (i) for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program, (ii) for restricted stock unit expense related to the Business.com Acquisition, (iii) for reorganization items, net and (iv) to exclude the intangible asset impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2009. Adjusted EBITDA of the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for (i) reorganization items, net and (ii) stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. Combined Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2010 combines the Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010.

Slide:    23 Title: GAAP Reconciliations – 4Q11 and FY11 Free Cash Flow         Free cash flow is not a measurement of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flow from operations prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition, free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes this measure provides investors and stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company's ability to fund its activities and obligations. Free cash flow is determined by subtracting additions to fixed assets and computer software - GAAP from cash flow from operations - GAAP.         Note:  These schedules are preliminary and subject to change pending the Company's filing of its Form 10-K.  Please see accompanying reconciliation endnotes.   $ millions

Slide:    26 Title: Reconciliation Endnotes Our advertising revenues are earned primarily from the sale of advertising in yellow pages directories we publish. Advertising revenues also include revenues from our Internet-based marketing solutions including online directories, such as DexKnows.com and DexNet. Advertising revenues are affected by several factors, including changes in the quantity and size of advertisements, acquisition of new clients, renewal rates of existing clients, premium advertisements sold, changes in advertisement pricing, the introduction of new marketing solutions, an increase in competition and more fragmentation in the local business search market and general economic factors. Revenues with respect to print advertising and Internet-based marketing solutions that are sold with print advertising are recognized under the deferral and amortization method whereby revenues are initially deferred when a directory is published, net of sales claims and allowances, and recognized ratably over the directory's life, which is typically 12 months.  Revenues with respect to Internet-based marketing solutions that are sold standalone, such as DexNet, are recognized ratably over the life of the contract commencing when they are first delivered or fulfilled. Revenues with respect to our marketing solutions that are non-performance based are recognized ratably over the life of the contract commencing when they are first delivered or fulfilled. Revenues with respect to our marketing solutions that are performance-based are recognized as the service is delivered or fulfilled.The Company concluded there were indicators of impairment as of May 31, 2011. As a result, we performed impairment tests of our goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets as of May 31, 2011. The impairment testing results for recoverability of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets indicated they were recoverable and thus no impairment test was required as of May 31, 2011. Based upon the testing results of our goodwill, we determined that the remaining goodwill assigned to each of our reporting units was fully impaired and thus recognized an aggregate goodwill impairment charge of $801.1 million during the second quarter of 2011, which was recorded at each of our reporting units. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has no recorded goodwill at any of its reporting units. We have removed the goodwill impairment charge from GAAP results for the year ended December 31, 2011 to arrive at adjusted results. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company concluded that there were indicators of impairment and as a result, we performed impairment tests of our goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010. The testing results of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets resulted in a non-goodwill intangible asset impairment charge of $4.3 million and $17.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, for a total non-goodwill intangible asset impairment charge of $21.6 million during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 associated with trade names and trademarks, technology, local customer relationships and other from our former Business.com reporting unit. The Company also recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $385.3 million and $752.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, for a total goodwill impairment charge of $1,137.6 million during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 resulting from our impairment testing, which was recorded in each of our reporting units. The sum of the goodwill and non-goodwill intangible asset impairment charges totaled $1,159.3 million for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010. As a result of the Chapter 11 petitions and continued negative industry and economic trends, the Predecessor Company recognized a non-goodwill intangible asset impairment charge of $7.3 billion during the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily representing the difference between the fair value and recorded value of our directory services agreements.  The Predecessor Company has excluded the intangible asset impairment charge from Adjusted Results for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the decline in the trading value of our debt and equity securities and the decline in our operating results, we recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $3.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008. Given the ongoing credit and liquidity crisis and the significant negative impact on financial markets, as well as the overall economy, and the suspension of trading of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), we performed impairment tests of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets in  accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as of December 31, 2008.  (note continues on next page)

Slide:    27 Title: Reconciliation Endnotes 2)    (continued from previous page)  As a result of these tests, the Company recognized a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $744.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2008 associated with the local and national customer relationships acquired in the Dex Media Merger, AT&T Directory Acquisition and Embarq Acquisition. In addition, as a result of the Company’s decision to discontinue the use of tradenames and technology acquired in the Local Launch Acquisition, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $2.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2008, for a total impairment  charge related to our intangible assets of $746.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2008. On February 14, 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all net assets of Business.com. As a result, we recognized a gain on sale of these assets of $13.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2011.In conjunction with our adoption of fresh start accounting, an adjustment was established to record our outstanding debt at fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The Company was required to record our amended and restated credit facilities at a discount as a result of their fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Therefore, the carrying amount of these debt obligations is lower than the principal amount due at maturity. This fair value adjustment is amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective debt agreements and does not impact future scheduled interest or principal payments. The unamortized fair value adjustment resulting from fresh start accounting was $63.1 million at December 31, 2011. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents on the respective date. Net debt – eliminating fair value discount eliminates the fair value discount as a result of fresh start accounting described in Note 4 and represents principal amounts due at maturity.
