Safe Harbor This presentation and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “endeavors,” “strives,” “may,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned these forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this release and those discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). More information on potential risks and uncertainties is available in our recent filings with the SEC, including Cincinnati Bell’s Form 10-K report, Form 10-Q reports and Form 8-K reports. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason. 3


 
Non GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains information about adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and free cash flow. These are non-GAAP financial measures used by Cincinnati Bell management when evaluating results of operations and cash flow. Management believes these measures also provide users of the financial statements with additional and useful comparisons of current results of operations and cash flows with past and future periods. Non- GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures. Detailed reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow (including the Company’s definition of these terms) to comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the earnings release on our website at www.cincinnatibell.com within the Investor Relations section. 4

CyrusOne Monetization 8 • Sold 16 million CyrusOne Partnership units with proceeds totaling $356 million – Proceeds used to repay a portion of our 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018, reducing interest payments $28 million annually – Remaining 44% ownership currently valued at approximately $750 million – Tax gains from future monetization sheltered by $750 million of tax NOLs • Our strategy has not changed – Patient investor focused on a well-timed and thoughtfully developed monetization strategy to maximize shareholder value – CyrusOne reported outstanding third quarter results: o Revenue $85 million, up 26% year-over-year o Adjusted EBITDA $42 million, up 16% year-over-year


 
Wireless Sale Impact • Spectrum sale closed on September 30, 2014 – Cash proceeds of $194 million • Transfer of lease liabilities and other assets valued at approximately $16 million will occur once we no longer provide wireless service (later of 90 days after close of spectrum sale and April 6, 2015) • Broadens our relationship with Verizon – Expect increased foot traffic in Fioptics retail stores – Opportunity to provide additional carrier services 9
