Exhibit 99.2
Company Presentation March 2016
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. These financial performance measures are not indicative of cash provided or used by operating activities and exclude the effects of certain operating, capital and financing costs and may differ from comparable information provided by other companies, and they should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures of financial performance determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. These financial performance measures are commonly used in the industry and are presented because Lumos Networks Corp. believes they provide relevant and useful information to investors. The Company utilizes these financial performance measures to assess its ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements, to incur indebtedness if necessary, and to fund continued growth. Lumos Networks Corp. also uses these financial performance measures to evaluate the performance of its business, for budget planning purposes and as factors in its employee compensation programs.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements contained in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,”
“targets,” “projects,” “should,” “may,” “will” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, plans and strategies, and anticipated financial results, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Many of these risks are beyond our ability to control or predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important factors with respect to any such forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: rapid development and intense competition in the telecommunications and high speed data transport industry; our ability to grow our data business on an organic or inorganic basis in order to offset expected revenue declines in legacy voice and access products; our ability to divest our legacy business on a timely basis; our ability to effectively allocate capital and implement our network expansion plans in a timely manner; our ability to complete customer installations in a timely manner; adverse economic conditions; operating and financial restrictions imposed by our senior credit facility and our unsecured debt obligations; our cash and capital requirements; our ability to maintain and enhance our network; the potential to experience a high rate of customer turnover; federal and state regulatory fees, requirements and developments; our reliance on certain suppliers and vendors; and other unforeseen difficulties that may occur. These risks and uncertainties are not intended to represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed cautionary statements and risk factors included in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

First Significant Enterprise Dark Fiber Win
Targeting a Growing Number of RFPs in our Footprint:
Macro Fiber to the Cell Backhaul/Small Cell Fronthaul
Large Enterprises: Healthcare, Education/Gov’t, Financial
Data Centers
Relatively limited dark fiber deployments in our footprint (by any fiber provider), but industry dark fiber network activity is expected to increase in 2016 and beyond
Lumos Dark Fiber Product has standardized Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC) and Non-Recurring Charge (NRC) pricing
Lumos provides dark fiber cable and customers supply equipment and resources to manage their bandwidth service
Lumos has $1m+ in annual Dark Fiber revenue, mostly derived from Allegheny Energy assets purchased in 2009
