Investment Highlights Next Generation Product Set GTT’s advanced Ethernet and IP product set positions the Company to address the growing market for cloud services, spurred by enterprise recognition of the value proposition of the cloud. GTT can capitalize on this growing market by leveraging its extensive global Ethernet and IP Transit network and numerous interconnection points to deliver its cloud networking service portfolio. Global Network Footprint GTT has a truly global network linking over 130 PoPs – leveraging its relationships with over 800 global carrier partners throughout North America, EMEA and Asia. The Company’s network platform has enabled it to achieve operating leverage and future synergies from acquisitions by eliminating redundant network routes and facilities. Operational Expertise Throughout its history, GTT has demonstrated the ability to quickly integrate the assets of acquired companies, combining the best elements of each into GTT as a whole. GTT has developed a highly sophisticated Client Management Database (“CMD”) that drives all core business processes including quoting, ordering, installing, network monitoring and billing. Proven M&A Platform With the recent acquisitions of three businesses, GTT has proven its exceptional ability to integrate assets successfully, leveraging a honed client management strategy to recognize significant cost savings. GTT is exploring an M&A pipeline representing $400+ million of revenue and $50+ million of pre-synergy EBITDA with a focus on adding strategic network assets, expanded product offerings and new clients. Strong Cash Flow Generation GTT’s adjusted EBITDA correlates strongly to unlevered free cash flow due to low capital expenditure, approximately 1 to 2% of revenue. The Company expects it will be able to generate cash flow through a combination of synergy realization and top line growth over the next year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information: Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization on a non-GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) combined basis for the periods presented, and adjusted to exclude certain one-time expenses including costs associated with employee terminations and other non-recurring items and non-cash compensation. GTT presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of GTT’s performance. GTT also presents Adjusted EBITDA because GTT believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry and in measuring the ability of issuers to meet debt service obligations. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future GTT may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. GTT’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that GTT’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of GTT’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (amounts in millions):
