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
8 Key Driver: FTTx Deployments “With regard to the expansion that we're doing now with regard to fiber, we are seeing very good results, and the ability to always have video available with the satellite product is going to prove, I think, to be very beneficial for us. So we will expand on that 60 million footprint over the next four years and we will also get to -- some of it will overlap, but we will get to 14 million fiber enabled and, quite frankly, there is a likelihood that we may get to more than that when we are finished.” John Stephens, Senior EVP & CFO, AT&T Inc. – January 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 three engines of growth in Business Services each at a different stage of development -- small business, which has healthy market penetration and generates the majority of our revenue; mid-sized business where our penetration is still less than 10%, but is growing at a higher rate; and our recently announced enterprise division that targets Fortune 1000 and is gaining traction with more than 20 large enterprise customers and multiple eight-figure deals already signed. Business Services strong positive momentum and continues to represent a large and attractive growth opportunity for the Company.” Mike Cavanagh, Senior EVP & CFO, Comcast - February 2016 $30.0Bn $20.0Bn $10.0Bn Customer Business Services Revenue Addressable Business Services Market 2015 Revenue $9.1 Billion Addressable Market $60 Billion
10 Key Driver: Connect America Fund “So, around 400,000 locations within our existing footprint today, they will get minimally 10 meg and above internet speeds. So, we're in the early innings of that, in late 2015, we moved aggressively to sort of put, what I call the cornerstone of the CAF-2 program into place once we knew the certainty of the program. We moved quickly to really deploy our packet optical network, which became sort of the core beginnings of our CAF-2 program. And then from there, it's about now building fiber extensions into replacing copper and putting new DSLAMs in all these network elements in many locations within our variable footprint.” Bob Gunderman, CFO, Windstream Holdings, Inc. -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 “First and foremost, I think the foundation is our network, our strategy and densification, the use of fiber. Fiber is going to be critical with the densification, dark fiber. 92% of our cell sites are already fiber enabled; the other 8% are microwave which probably won't get fiber, so when you look at it almost 100% of our cell sites are fiber-enabled. And every small cell, 100% of every small cell we deployed is fiber-backed.” Fran Shammo, EVP & CFO , Verizon – January 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 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 quarters ended October 24, 2015 and January 23, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $1.8 million and $4.1 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 and write-off of deferred financing costs – During Q1-16, 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 on September 15, 2015. During fiscal 2011, the Company incurred an $8.3 million charge in connection with the redemption of its 8.125% senior subordinated notes due 2015. During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized $0.3 million in write-off of deferred financing costs during fiscal 2013 in connection with the replacement of our credit facility in December 2012. Management believes excluding the loss on debt extinguishment and the write-off of deferred financing costs 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 and write-off of deferred financing costs from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing the current and historical financial results. • Charges for settlement of wage and hour litigation – The Company incurred wage and hour litigation settlement charges of $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.6 million in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, respectively. The Company believes the settlement charges are not indicative of its core operating results. • Acquisition related costs – The Company incurred $6.8 million in fiscal 2013 in connection with the acquisition of the telecommunications infrastructure services subsidiaries of Quanta Services, Inc. The Company believes the acquisition costs are not indicative of its core operating results. • Tax impacts of adjusted results - The tax impact of the adjusted results for the quarters ended October 24, 2015 and January 23, 2016 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 April 23, 2016 was calculated using an effective tax rate used for financial planning and forecasting future results.
