Introduction to Pro Forma Financial Information
-----------------------------------------------
The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared to
give effect to:
. the issuance by McLeodUSA of its 8 1/8% senior notes in February 1999
. the acquisition by McLeodUSA of Ovation Communications, Inc. in March
1999
. the issuance by McLeodUSA of its 6.75% Series A preferred stock in August
1999
. the issuance by McLeodUSA of its Series B preferred stock and Series C
preferred stock in September 1999
. the acquisition by McLeodUSA of Splitrock in March 2000.
For purposes of this pro forma presentation, the issuance of the Series A,
Series B and Series C preferred stock are collectively referred to as the
"Preferred Stock Issuances."
The acquisition of Splitrock was completed on March 30, 2000. The
Consolidated Balance Sheet of McLeodUSA included in its Form 10-Q for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 includes the balance sheet of Splitrock and is
incorporated herein by reference to such Form 10-Q.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
include the operations of Ovation Communications, Inc. and the operations of
Splitrock as if the acquisition of Ovation and the acquisition of Splitrock were
consummated on January 1, 1999 and the related weighted average share amounts
have been adjusted to give effect to the shares issued in the transactions as if
they had been issued on January 1, 1999. It also assumes that interest related
to the 8 1/8% senior notes, dividends related to the Preferred Stock Issuances
and the additional depreciation and amortization due to the increased value of
tangible and intangible assets acquired through the acquisition of Ovation and
the acquisition of Splitrock, using the purchase method of accounting, began
January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma financial information is derived from
and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of
McLeodUSA and the related notes thereto included in the McLeodUSA Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions
that management believes to be reasonable. Depreciation and amortization were
adjusted to include amortization of intangibles acquired in the acquisitions.
The acquired intangibles will be amortized over periods ranging from three to 20
years. The adjustments for the Splitrock acquisition reflect the preliminary
allocation of the net purchase price of Splitrock to the net assets of Splitrock
that were acquired, including intangible assets, and record the issuance of
93,201,882 shares of McLeodUSA Class A common stock valued at $19.63 per share,
after giving effect
F-1
for the three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend on April 24,
2000. The value of $19.63 per share represents the average closing price of
McLeodUSA Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market for the 10 trading
days beginning five days prior to the date the merger agreement was announced,
January 7, 2000, and ending four days after such announcement, after giving
effect for the three-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend. The
purchase price of approximately $2.3 billion is equal to (1) the product of (A)
the total number of shares of Splitrock common stock attributable to outstanding
Splitrock common stock, warrants and options as of March 30, 2000, multiplied by
(B) the conversion ratio, multiplied by (C) the value of a share of McLeodUSA
Class A common stock (calculated as described above), plus (2) the fair value of
Splitrock's debt and other direct acquisition costs, minus (3) the aggregate
option and warrant proceeds to be received.
For purposes of allocating the net purchase price among the various assets
acquired, McLeodUSA has marked Splitrock's debt to market based on the closing
trading price as of March 30, 2000 and has preliminarily considered the carrying
value of the other acquired assets and liabilities to approximate their fair
value, with all of the excess of the net purchase price being attributed to
intangible assets, primarily goodwill. McLeodUSA intends to more fully evaluate
the acquired assets and, as a result, the allocation of the net purchase price
among the acquired tangible and intangible assets may change.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that
would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of
1999, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial
position.

because it is a measure commonly used in the industry. EBITDA is not a
measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting
principles and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a
measure of performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
