Certain of the statements and predictions contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  In particular, statements,
projections or estimates that include or reference the words “believes,”
“anticipates,”
“plans,”
“intends,”
“expects,”
“will,”
or any similar expression fall within the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
contained in the Reform Act.  Actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those indicated or
suggested by any such forward-looking statement for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:
changing market conditions and growth rates within the telecommunications industry or generally within
the overall economy; changes in competition in markets in which the company operates; pressures on the
pricing of company products and services; advances in telecommunications technology; the ability to
generate sufficient cash flow to fund the company’s business plan, repay the company’s debt and interest
obligations, and maintain its networks; the ability to refinance
indebtedness when required on
commercially reasonable terms; changes in the telecommunications
regulatory environment; changes in
the demand for the company’s services and products; the demand for particular products and services
within the overall mix of products sold, as the company’s products and services have varying profit
margins; the company’s ability to introduce new service and product offerings on a timely and cost
effective basis; work stoppage caused by labor disputes; restrictions imposed under various credit
facilities and debt instruments; the company’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees; the
company’s ability to access capital markets and the successful execution
of restructuring initiatives;
changes in the funded status of the company’s retiree pension and healthcare plans; disruption in
operations caused by a health pandemic, such as the H1N1 influenza virus; changes in the company’s
relationships with current large customers, a small number of whom account for a significant portion of
company revenue; disruption in the company’s back-office information technology systems, including its
billing system; the company’s ability to integrate successfully the business of Cyrus Networks, LLC with
the company’s existing operations and to achieve the anticipated benefits of
the acquisition of Cyrus
Networks, LLC; and failure of or disruption in the operation of the company’s data centers. More
information on potential risks and uncertainties is available in
recent filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including Cincinnati Bell’s Form 10-K report, Form 10-Q reports and Form 8-K
reports.  The forward-looking statements included in this presentation represent company estimates as of
March 16, 2011.  Cincinnati Bell anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its
estimates to change.

Non GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains information about adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA
margin, free cash flow,
and net debt. 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, free
cash flow (including the
Company’s definition of these terms), and net debt to comparable GAAP financial measures
can be found in the appendix to this presentation.

Each company has a “VP of

today’s scenario where each
company has its own data center
In a few years, companies eliminate “VP of
