Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

Joseph J. Euteneuer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Qwest Communications International Inc. (“Qwest” or the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”), today responded to a story that had earlier ran on a national newswire indicating that the Company’s capital expenditures in 2010 would be flat with 2009 levels.  Mr. Euteneuer indicated that the Company has not yet set its capital budget for 2010, and that the Company is therefore not in a position to compare its anticipated 2009 capital expenditures to capital expenditures that will occur in 2010.  He further indicated that the Company would disclose its expectations for 2010 upon completion of its budgeting process and in conjunction with issuing its full-year 2009 results.

 

Forward Looking Statements Warning

 

This filing may contain projections and other forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may differ materially from actual future events or results. Readers are referred to the documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent reports which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: access line losses due to increased competition, including from technology substitution of our access lines with wireless and cable alternatives, among others; our substantial indebtedness, and our inability to complete any efforts to further de-lever our balance sheet; adverse results of increased review and scrutiny by media and others (including any internal analyses) of financial reporting issues and practices or otherwise; rapid and significant changes in technology and markets; any adverse developments in commercial disputes or legal proceedings; potential fluctuations in quarterly results; volatility of our stock price; intense competition in the markets in which we compete including the effects of consolidation in our industry; changes in demand for our products and services; acceleration of the deployment of advanced new services, such as broadband data, wireless and video services, which could require substantial expenditure of financial and other resources in excess of contemplated levels; higher than anticipated employee levels, capital expenditures and operating expenses; adverse changes in the regulatory or legislative environment affecting our business; changes in the outcome of future events from the assumed outcome included in our significant accounting policies; our ability to utilize net operating losses in projected amounts; and continued unfavorable general economic conditions, including the current financial crisis.

 

The information contained in this filing is a statement of Qwest’s present intention, belief or expectation and is based upon, among other things, the existing regulatory environment, industry conditions, market conditions and prices, the economy in general and Qwest’s assumptions. Qwest may change its intention, belief or expectation, at any time and without notice, based upon any changes in such factors, in Qwest’s assumptions or otherwise. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this filing should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that Qwest or persons acting on its behalf may issue. This filing may include analysts’ estimates and other information prepared by third parties for which Qwest assumes no responsibility.

 

Qwest undertakes no obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements and other statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

By including any information in this filing, Qwest does not necessarily acknowledge that disclosure of such information is required by applicable law or that the information is material.
