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” 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 31, 2010, 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. As
 required by the SEC we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly
 comparable GAAP measures on the Regulation G slide included at the end of this presentation

Telecom Capital Spending
Lowell McAdam - Verizon Communications, Inc. President, COO May 2011
n Continued capital spending in wireline reflects burgeoning demand for voice, data and
 video transmission
n Wireless capital spending accelerating as 4G networks proliferate and new competitors
 emerge
n Significant portion of RBOCs’ capital budgets are expected to be from fiber deployments,
 including fiber to the cell site initiatives
n Carriers are shifting capital spending to address growth needs and increased
 competition from cable companies
Capital Expenditure Commentary
 “….I think our -- our goal right now is to go out and streamline further the wireline assets,
 and by that, I mean the core performance, as well as FiOS. As I've gone into this new job over
 the last six months, and I travel around the wireline side of the business, I see what I call lots
 of pots of gold here where we can become more efficient, so we're very focused on that. And
 I think there's also an opportunity to streamline FiOS. There are too many network elements
 between the central office and the customer. We're using technology to streamline those.
 That also gives you the ability to improve the productivity of the technician; it doesn't take
 him as long to do an installation. So I want to see how we can get more efficient and get
 better penetration, and then I think it's -- maybe we expand FiOS a little bit, if I can make the
 math work.”

Cable Capital Spending
 “… And finally, carrier wholesale which includes cell backhaul services. Given our largely to
 tier 2 footprint, we believe we are in a unique position to enable high-capacity last mile
 services for wholesale providers. For the latter two segments, there is an especially long lead
 time from the sales effort, to installation, and billable revenue, and you will continue to see
 some quarter-to-quarter variability in both revenue and CapEx for the commercial side of the
 house. As we've said before, we see significant growth opportunity in each of these
 commercial segments and I believe we're making the right investments to capitalize on that
 opportunity.”
n Continued capital expenditures on bandwidth reclamation, VOIP and HDTV product
 offerings, and cellular backhaul
n Ongoing plant and network enhancements are critical as cable operators continue to
 offer services that require greater reliability
n Network capacity and reliability increasingly crucial as cable companies compete with
 traditional telecom firms
