2 Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Information This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”. Other than statements of historical facts, all statements contained in this presentation, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, future revenue, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “outlook,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “project,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. You should not consider forward-looking statements as a guarantee of future performance or results. 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, assumptions, uncertainties, and risks that could cause such differences are discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 4, 2015, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 27, 2016 and other filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect new information, or events or circumstances arising after such date. This presentation includes certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by Regulation G of the SEC. 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 as slides 28 through 34 of this presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, our reported GAAP results.

7 Strong Secular Trend “It took 32 years – from 1984 to 2016 – to generate the first zettabyte of IP traffic annually. However, as this year’s Visual Networking Index forecasts, it will take only three additional years to reach the next zettabyte milestone when there will be more than 2 zettabytes of IP Traffic annually by 2019” Doug Webster, Vice President of Service Provider Products and Solutions Marketing, Cisco - May 2015 Sources: U.S. Telecom, The Broadband Association Cisco Visual Networking Index U.S. National Bureau of Economic Analysis Strong and stable growth in IP traffic even in times of GDP decline North America Internet Protocol Traffic vs. GDP Growth

We've got that done; so we've got a 1 million base of businesses that we have fiber either to the building or within 1,000 feet of the building . . . in addition to that, we've committed to the FCC as part of the DTV merger to take fiber to 12.5 million additional living units. Of course we will make that commitment; but if we pass a business along the way we're going to make sure that we get fiber to that business. As we expand our cell sites with small cells or macro cells and we pass a building, we will take fiber to that building.” Ralph de la Vega, AT&T Inc. - Vice Chairman, CEO of AT&T Business Solutions & AT&T International - May 2016  Telephone companies are deploying fiber to the home and fiber to the node technologies to enable video offerings and 1 gigabit connections  Data transmission speeds dramatically increasing  Key customer recently committed to passing millions of new locations with fiber Sources: Company Press Releases and supplemental information. 1 AT&T sold Connecticut wireline operations to Frontier during Q4-14.

9 Key Driver: Fiber to Businesses Sources: Company Press Releases and transcripts “We have fiber to -- we can give you fiber to your premise. We're doing that more and more. Let's do it for the businesses, so we went to the medium-size market and we're kind of just getting started there. And we just recently announced the enterprise market and we have aligned ourselves with some other distributors outside of our territory so we can come with a comprehensive offering to enterprise customers. We just signed up one of the big banks for all their ATM machines, opened fiber to their key locations. And so we see this as a $5 billion a year business growing at 20%-ish type revenue top line. Most of that is falling to the bottom line, kind of just scratching the surface so we added a $10 billion to $15 billion new market in enterprise potential.” Brian Roberts, Chairman, President & CEO, Comcast - March 2016 Customer Business Services Revenue Addressable Business Services Market 2015 Revenue $9.1 Billion Addressable Market $70 Billion


 
10 Key Driver: Connect America Fund “CAF is a tremendous program. It's been a great public-private partnership for Windstream. We're going to provide over 400,000 locations with either basically underserved or unserved, 400,000 locations. It's frankly a fairly staggering amount of communities that are going to benefit from the work associated with our Connect America Fund programs. And when people look for, why are you optimistic about the broadband unit trends, they have something to do with the 400,000 locations that we're getting ready to dramatically improve the service work. And I think it's been a great program and we go to these communities and we can completely transform their experience. They go from an older technology, typically copper-fed ATM technology to fiber-fed Ethernet and navigating speeds up to 100-meg and much like the other ILECs where you're evaluating vectoring and other technologies where we expect you can get faster speeds over the old twisted pair of copper and providing even better products for our customers.” Tony Thomas, Windstream Holdings Inc. - President and CEO - March 2016 New projects from Connect America Fund deploying fiber deeper into networks  Connect America Fund (“CAF”) is a FCC initiative to bring broadband access to rural communities  CAF Phase II – FCC offers support of up to $1.676 billion annually to price cap carriers to expand broadband service to rural America  Multi-year subsidies; must provision broadband speeds of at least 10 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream  Over $1.5 billion in funding was accepted in August 2015 by the price cap carriers (including AT&T, CenturyLink, Windstream, Frontier and others) with the remaining $175 million to be allocated through an auction process Sources: FCC.gov


 
11 Key Driver: Wireless Network Upgrades “[F]irst and most important is obviously network. So, when you think about the wireless network, the fiber network, that is really where our concentration is right now. With Wireless we continue to densify that LTE network, continue to spend capital at a pretty consistent rate, actually increasing year-over-year. And we are doing that for the densification of LTE, but also in preparation of 5G, and I am sure we will talk more about that. And then when you look at that underlying network, that obviously enables us to do a lot. And if you just look at the entire industry alone, data is going to continue to explode in this industry and everybody has positioned themselves to take a bigger piece of the pie that continues to grow.” Fran Shammo, Verizon Commuications Inc. - EVP & CFO – May 2016  Wireless carriers are upgrading to 4G technologies creating growth opportunities in the near to intermediate term  Carriers enhancing coverage and capacity by increasing the number of small cells  Increasing capacity where 4G technologies are already deployed Growth in Number of Cell Sites¹ 1 Source: Industry publications 0 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000 350,000 400,000 450,000 500,000 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 3 2 0 0 4 2 0 0 5 2 0 0 6 2 0 0 7 2 0 0 8 2 0 0 9 2 0 1 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 1 2 2 0 1 3 2 0 1 4 2015 Es ti mat e s 2020 Es ti mat e s 2025 Es ti mat e s U S C el l Ci ti es

31 1 Non-GAAP adjustments in FY 2010 reflect adjustments in Q4-10 resulting 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 revenues for Q4-10 on a Non-GAAP basis for comparison purposes.

34 Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company’s quarterly results releases, trend schedules, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance for the period reported with the Company’s performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures as follows: • Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entire period in both the current and prior year periods. Non-GAAP Organic Revenue growth (decline) is calculated as the percentage change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues over those of the comparable prior year period. Management believes organic growth (decline) is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s revenue performance with prior periods. • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, and certain non-recurring items. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax rates. • Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income - GAAP net income before loss on debt extinguishment, non-cash amortization of the debt discount, certain non-recurring items and any tax impact related to these items, and "Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share" as Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share: • Non-cash amortization of the debt discount - The Company’s 0.75% senior convertible notes due 2021 (the "Notes") were allocated between debt and equity components. The difference between the principal amount and the carrying amount of the liability component of the notes represents a debt discount. The debt discount will be amortized over the term of the notes but will not result in periodic cash interest payments. During the three months ended October 24, 2015, January 23, 2016, and April 23, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $1.8 million, $4.1 million, and $4.2 million, respectively, in pre-tax interest expense for non-cash amortization of the debt discount associated with the Notes. The Company has excluded the non-cash amortization of the debt discount from its Non-GAAP financial measures because it believes it is useful to analyze the component of interest expense for the Notes that will be paid in cash. The exclusion of the non-cash amortization from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial results. • Loss on debt extinguishment - The Company incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $16.3 million for early extinguishment of debt in connection with the redemption of its 7.125% senior subordinated notes during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Management believes excluding the loss on debt extinguishment from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures assists investors’ overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance. The Company believes this type of charge is not indicative of its core operating results. The exclusion of the loss on debt extinguishment from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing the current and historical financial results. • Tax impact of adjusted results - The tax impact of the adjusted results was calculated utilizing a Non-GAAP effective tax rate which approximates the Company’s effective tax rate used for financial planning. The tax impact included in the Company’s guidance for the quarter ending July 30, 2016 was calculated using an effective tax rate used for financial planning and forecasting future results.
