Exhibit 99.3
Communications Sales & Leasing, Inc.’s
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements present Communications Sales & Leasing, Inc.’s (“CS&L” or the “Company”) unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. These statements have been derived from (a)(i) the historical financial statements of CS&L for the period from April 24, 2015 to December 31, 2015; (ii) the historical financial statements of CS&L for the period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016, which includes the results of PEG Bandwidth, LLC (“PEG”) from the May 2, 2016 acquisition date to June 30, 2016; and (iii) the historical financial statement of the Consumer Competitive Local Exchange Carrier Business (the “Consumer CLEC Business”) for the period from January 1, 2015 to April 24, 2015, all of which were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (b) the historical financial statements of PEG, for the period from January 1, 2015 to May 1, 2016; and (c) the historical audited financial statements of Tower Cloud, LLC (“Tower Cloud”), which are included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Tower Cloud and the related transactions, including: (i) revolving credit facility borrowings and related interest expense to fund the cash portion of the purchase consideration and (ii) issuance of 1.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), for purchase consideration. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition of PEG and the related transactions, including: (i) revolving credit facility borrowings and related interest expense to fund the cash portion of the purchase consideration, (ii) issuance of 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, for purchase consideration, and (iii) issuance of 87,500 shares of the Company’s 3% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) for purchase consideration. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements also give effect to our spin-off from Windstream and the related transactions for the period prior to the spin-off from Windstream Holdings, Inc. (“Windstream Holdings” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Windstream”) on April 24, 2015, including: (iv) the transfer of the Distribution Systems (as defined below) from Windstream to CS&L, (v) rental income associated with the Master Lease between CS&L and Windstream, (vi) transport, provisioning and repair services with the Wholesale Agreement between CS&L and Windstream, (vii) billing and collection services with the Master Services Agreement between CS&L and Windstream, and (viii) the issuance of $3.65 billion of long-term debt. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income assumes the spin-off from Windstream, the purchase of PEG and the purchase of Tower Cloud occurred on January 1, 2015, and the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet assumes the purchase of Tower Cloud occurred on June 30, 2016.
The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions we believe are reasonable, factually supportable, directly attributable to the spin-off from Windstream, and the acquisition of PEG and Tower Cloud, and for the purposes of the pro forma combined statement of income, are expected to have a continuing impact on us.
Our unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to our unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to reflect the results we may achieve in future periods or the historical results that would have been obtained had the spin off from Windstream or acquisitions of PEG and Tower Cloud occurred on January 1, 2015 or the acquisition of Tower Cloud as of June 30, 2016, as
1
the case may be. Our unaudited pro forma combined financial statements also do not give effect to the potential impact of final purchase accounting adjustments, current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, costs savings, or integration costs that may result from the transactions described above.
Our unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are derived from, and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of CS&L, the Consumer CLEC Business, PEG and Tower Cloud and accompanying notes previously filed with the SEC or included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data - Continued
On April 24, 2015, in connection with the separation and spin-off of CS&L from Windstream Holdings, Inc. (“Windstream Holdings” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Windstream”), Windstream contributed certain telecommunications network assets, including fiber and copper networks and other real estate (the “Distribution Systems”) and the Consumer CLEC Business, a small consumer competitive local exchange carrier business to CS&L in exchange for cash, shares of common stock of CS&L and certain indebtedness of CS&L (the “Spin-Off”).
On May 2, 2016, CS&L completed its previously announced acquisition of PEG Bandwidth, LLC. As a result of the acquisition, PEG Bandwidth, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CS&L. On August 31, 2016, CS&L completed its previously announced acquisition of Tower Cloud, LLC. As a result of the acquisition, Tower Cloud, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CS&L. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the Spin-Off, the acquisition of PEG, the acquisition of Tower Cloud, and the related transactions discussed above.
Consideration Transferred
The acquisitions of PEG and Tower Cloud have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Additionally, ASC 805 establishes that the common stock issued to effect the acquisition be measured at the closing date of the transaction at the then-current market price.
PEG Bandwidth, LLC
The fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows:

The cash transferred was funded through cash on hand and borrowings on CS&L’s revolving credit facility. |
|
(2) |
The liquidation value of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is $87.5 million. The fair value was estimated using an income approach framework, including valuing the conversion feature using a Black-Scholes model. |
|
(3) |
The fair value of the CS&L common shares of $23.2 million was calculated by multiplying the 1 million CS&L common shares by $23.23, the closing trading price of CS&L common stock on April 29, 2016. |
