Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP
Information
Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP
Information
  This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” which are statements relating to future events, future
 financial performance, strategies, expectations, and competitive environment. All statements, other than
 statements of historical facts, contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our future financial
 position, future revenue, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements.
 Words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “project,”
 “looking ahead” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking
 statements. You should not read forward looking statements as a guarantee of future performance or results.
 They will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or at what time such performance or results will be
 achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are
 made and/or management’s good faith belief at that time with respect to future events. Such statements are
 subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those
 expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such
 differences include, but are not limited to factors described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s
 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 30, 2011, and other risks outlined in the Company’s
 periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements in this
 presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Except as required by law, the
 Company may not update forward-looking statements even though its situation may change in the future.
 This presentation includes certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We believe that the
 presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures provides information that is useful to investors because it
 allows for a more direct comparison of our performance for the period with our performance in the comparable
 prior-year periods. As required by the SEC, we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most
 directly comparable GAAP measures on the Regulation G slides included at the end of this presentation. We
 caution that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, our
 reported GAAP results.

of service, robustness and security of its Internet backbone, will a just good network
be good enough?”

Key Driver: Wireless Backhaul
“Our third key strategic initiative-investing in fiber builds to as many towers in our service area as is
economically feasible. This initiative supports the anticipated long-term growth in data transport,
much of which is driven by wireless data traffic and expands our addressable customer footprint by
enabling fiber access points to other strategic locations where viable along those routes. During the
first quarter, we completed about 650 fiber builds. This was in line with our expectations and we
continue to anticipate completing 4,000 to 5,000 builds in 2012 as our fiber to the tower construction
continues to ramp throughout the year.”
Stewart Ewing, EVP & CFO, CenturyLink, Inc. - May 2012

Key Driver: Rural Fiber Networks
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) provided the Department of Commerce’s
National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) with
$7.2 billion to expand broadband services in the
United States.
Cumulatively, total Federal expenditures have now exceeded $1 billion
(approximately seven percent of the total NTIA funds awarded) and have
been matched by recipient funds of more than $500 million.

“I think we are getting most of our growth from SME and now Metro E and midsize are starting
to come in. We
are offering three products really on the midsize. It is both - it is the Metro E
product, the ethernet, it is
PRI, PBX equivalent, and now a hosted voice solution. [….] I think
the growth will continue to ramp in Metro E. And I think the growth rate will remain relatively
steady because we are growing it on a larger basis. We think the overall opportunity is $20
billion to $30 billion. We at about a $2.2 billion run rate now, so that is only a 10% penetration.”

Key Driver: Wireless Network Upgrades
“If you look at the data from last year, of 2011 over 2010, mobility traffic more than doubled.
And if you look at the forecast going forward in the next four years mobility traffic is going to
grow 1200% over the next four years. And within that, three quarters of that growth is driven
by video.”
Frank Calderoni, EVP & CFO, Cisco Systems - February 2012

Regulation G Disclosure
(a) Year-over-year growth percentage is calculated as follows: (i) revenues in the current twelve month period less (ii) revenues in the comparative prior twelve month period;
 divided by (ii) revenues in the comparative prior twelve month period.
(b) For the Trailing Twelve Months (“TTM “) Q3-12, TTM Q3-11, and FY 2011, revenues from business acquired reflect revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11.
(c) Non-GAAP adjustments in FY 2010 reflect adjustments in Q4-10 result from the Company’s 52/53 week fiscal year of $20.1 million. The Q4-10 Non-GAAP adjustments
 reflect the impact of the additional week in Q4-10 and are calculated by dividing contract revenues by 14 weeks. The result, representing one week of contract revenues, is
 subtracted from the GAAP-contract revenues to calculate 13 weeks of revenue for Q4-10 on a Non-GAAP basis for comparison purposes.
(d) Trailing Twelve Months Q3-12 includes contract revenues of $883.1 million for the nine months ended April 28, 2012 and $303.7 million for the three months ended July 30,

  (a) Year-over-year growth (decline) percentage is calculated as follows: (i) revenues in the quarterly period less (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period;
 divided by (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period.
 (b) For Q3-12, GAAP and Non-GAAP revenue growth percentages are the same as revenues from business acquired in 2011 were included for the full quarter in each
 period and there were no other Non-GAAP adjustments in either period. For Q1-11, GAAP and Non-GAAP revenue growth percentages are the same as there were no
 Non-GAAP adjustments in either period.
 (c) Non-GAAP adjustments in Q2-12, Q3-11 and Q2-11 reflect revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11. Non-GAAP adjustments in Q1-12 reflect storm
 restoration revenues ($3.7 million) and revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11 ($14.5 million). Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-11 reflect storm restoration
 revenues ($14.1 million) and revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11 ($14.1 million). Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-10 result from the Company’s 52/53 week
 fiscal year. The Q4-10 Non-GAAP adjustments reflect the impact of the additional week in Q4-10 and are calculated by dividing contract revenues by 14 weeks. The
 result, representing one week of contract revenues, is subtracted from the GAAP-contract revenues to calculate 13 weeks of revenue for Q4-10 on a Non-GAAP basis for
 comparison purposes. Non-GAAP adjustments in Q3-09, Q2-09, and Q1-09 reflect storm restoration revenues recognized during those periods.

Regulation G Disclosure
The below table presents the Non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense and Adjusting items.  The Company believes these Non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to the Company’s
investors. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the
Company’s results of operations in any particular period. Additionally, the Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its past performance and prospects for future performance.   EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income, operating cash flows, or a measure of earnings. Because all companies do not use identical calculations, this presentation of Non-GAAP
financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  These tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
