Stamford, Conn., August 7, 2013 — Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: FTR) today reported second quarter 2013 revenue of $1,190.5 million, operating income of $266.2 million and net loss attributable to common shareholders of $38.5 million, or $0.04 per share. Excluding losses on the early extinguishment of debt of $159.8 million, the gain on sale of Mohave Cellular Limited Partnership (Mohave) interest of $14.6 million, severance costs of $4.3 million, and discrete tax items of $6.8 million (combined impact of $99.8 million or $0.10 per share after tax), non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 would be $61.3 million, $0.06 per share.

“Frontier maintained strong momentum in the second quarter of 2013, with sequentially higher broadband net additions of 29,500 and continued improvement in business and residential customer retention and metrics,” said Maggie Wilderotter, Chairman and CEO of Frontier Communications. “Our bundled packages as well as our standalone broadband offering, Simply Broadband, continued to be strongly received and, together with our local engagement marketing strategy, helped to drive excellent gross customer additions. We substantially improved our business and residential net customer losses during the quarter. We are pleased that our combined business and residential revenue in the second quarter were only 0.3% less than the first quarter of 2013 (excluding Mohave) – getting Frontier closer to our objective of growing revenue. Finally, our continuing expense management efforts allowed us to show a slight improvement in operating cash flow margins to 46.8%.”

“We are extremely pleased with the progress made in many aspects of our business during the second quarter. Credit goes to all of our employees who are driving revenue, market share and operational efficiencies. We believe the investments we’ve made in people, products, process improvements, and our network yielded positive results, and we look forward to that continuing in the second half of the year.”

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $1,190.5 million as compared to $1,205.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $1,258.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. Revenue includes Mohave revenue of $7.8 million and $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. Adjusting for the Mohave sale, total revenue declined by only 0.6% in the second quarter of 2013 from the first quarter of 2013, as compared to a decline of 2.0% in the first quarter of 2013 from the fourth quarter of 2012. This decrease in revenue is primarily due to the decline in voice revenues, and lower switched and nonswitched access revenue, partially offset by increases in data services revenue. Total business revenue was $546.4 million (a 0.4% decline in the quarter) as compared to $548.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 (a 2.9% decline versus the fourth quarter of 2012). Adjusting for the Mohave sale, total residential revenue was $505.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 (a 0.3% decline in the quarter) as compared to $507.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 (a 0.8% decline versus the fourth quarter of 2012).

At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 278,100 business customers and 2,842,900 residential customers. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company improved the rate of decline in business customers by 42%, losing approximately 2,900 customers as compared to 5,100 customers in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 5,700 customers in the three months ending June 30, 2012.

The Company’s broadband customer net additions were approximately 29,500 during the second quarter of 2013, which was greater than the approximately 28,200 broadband customer net additions for the first quarter of 2013 and the total 23,400 net additions in all of 2012. The Company had approximately 1,812,100 broadband customers at June 30, 2013. The Company added 15,200 video customers during the second quarter of 2013.

Included in other operating expenses were severance costs of $4.3 million, $2.4 million and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, the first quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012, respectively. Other operating expenses, excluding severance costs, in the second quarter of 2013 were lower than in the first quarter of 2013 by $9.4 million, primarily due to decreased compensation costs resulting from reduced headcount and lower outside service costs.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2013 was $297.8 million as compared to $303.7 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $307.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. Amortization expense decreased by $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to certain intangible asset items that were fully amortized in 2012.

Sale of Mohave Cellular Limited Partnership Interest

On April 1, 2013, the Company closed on the sale of its partnership interest in Mohave Cellular Limited Partnership (Mohave) to Verizon Wireless, and the Company recognized a gain on sale of approximately $14.6 million before taxes (approximately $8.6 million, or $0.01 per share, after taxes) in the second quarter of 2013.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $266.2 million (reflecting the gain on sale of Mohave, lower amortization, network access and other operating expenses, as well as the absence of integration costs, as compared to the second quarter of 2012) and operating income margin was 22.4 percent as compared to operating income of $250.8 million and operating income margin of 20.8 percent in the first quarter of 2013 and operating income of $267.8 million and operating income margin of 21.3 percent in the second quarter of 2012.

Losses on early extinguishment of debt for the second quarter of 2013 reflects losses of $159.8 million ($98.9 million, or $0.10 per share, after tax), recognized on the early extinguishment of debt. In April 2013, the Company completed a registered debt offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2024, issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount. The Company received net proceeds of $736.9 million from the offering after deducting underwriting fees. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, together with cash on hand, to finance the cash tender offers and debt retirements, as discussed below.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased, through a cash tender offer, privately negotiated transactions and open market repurchases, $1,002.4 million aggregate principal amount of various senior notes for total consideration of $1,162.0 million, consisting of $194.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% senior notes due 2015; $277.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% senior notes due 2015; $433.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.250% senior notes due 2017; $17.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.125% senior notes due 2018; and $78.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.500% senior notes due 2020, respectively.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 was $166.5 million as compared to $171.4 million in the first quarter of 2013, and $172.1 million in the second quarter of 2012. Interest expense declined primarily due to lower average debt levels resulting from the debt refinancing activities and debt retirements during the second quarter of 2013.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the second quarter of 2013 was a tax benefit of $(18.8) million as compared to a tax expense of $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, a $30.5 million decrease in tax expense, principally due to lower pretax income resulting from additional losses on the early extinguishment of debt. The Company had an effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 of 32.8% and 34.8%, respectively. The second quarter of 2013 includes discrete tax items of the settlement of an IRS audit, changes in certain deferred tax balances and the reversal of uncertain tax positions with a combined impact of $6.8 million in additional income tax expense.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders of Frontier was $38.5 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2013, as compared to net income of $18.0 million, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2013 includes losses on the early extinguishment of debt of $159.8 million, severance costs of $4.3 million and discrete tax items of $6.8 million, partially offset by the gain on sale of Mohave of $14.6 million (combined impact of $99.8 million after tax). Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of Frontier for the second quarter of 2013 would be $61.3 million, or $0.06 per share, as compared to $48.8 million, or $0.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2013 and $75.0 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2012.

Capital expenditures for Frontier business operations were $137.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 and $326.5 million for the first six months of 2013, as compared to $167.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $376.1 million for the first six months of 2012. Lower second quarter 2013 capital expenditures were primarily driven by the timing of the Company’s spend within the year.

Operating cash flow, as adjusted and defined by the Company in the attached Schedule A, was $557.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 resulting in an operating cash flow margin of 46.8 percent. Operating cash flow, as reported, of $564.0 million has been adjusted to exclude $14.6 million of gain on sale of Mohave partnership interest, $4.3 million of severance costs and $3.6 million of non-cash pension and other postretirement benefit costs.

Free cash flow, as defined by the Company in the attached Schedule A, was $175.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 and $382.1 million for the first six months of 2013. The Company’s dividend represents a payout of 57 percent of free cash flow for the second quarter of 2013 and 52 percent for the first six months of 2013.

Working Capital

At June 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital surplus of $128.8 million, which includes the classification of certain debt maturing in the second quarter of 2014 of $214.5 million as a current liability.

2013 Guidance Remains Unchanged

For the full year of 2013, the Company’s expectations for capital expenditures and free cash flow remain unchanged and are within a range of $625 million to $675 million and $825 million to $925 million, respectively. The Company expects that in 2013, absent any further legislative changes in 2013, its cash taxes guidance remains unchanged and will be in the range of $125 million to $150 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its performance. These include non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of Frontier, free cash flow and operating cash flow. A reconciliation of the differences between non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of Frontier, free cash flow and operating cash flow and the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the tables that follow. The non-GAAP financial measures are by definition not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and are not alternatives to operating income or net income attributable to common shareholders of Frontier as reflected in the statement of operations or to cash flow as reflected in the statement of cash flows, and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, (i) together provide a more comprehensive view of the Company’s core operations and ability to generate cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) presents measurements that investors and rating agencies have indicated to management are useful to them in assessing the Company and its results of operations. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of Frontier, free cash flow and operating cash flow, as the Company defines them, can assist in comparing performance from period to period, without taking into account factors affecting operating income or net income attributable to common shareholders of Frontier in the statement of operations, or cash flow reflected in the statement of cash flows, including changes in working capital and the timing of purchases and payments. The Company has shown adjustments to its financial presentations to exclude losses on the early extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of Mohave partnership interest, investment gains, discrete tax items, integration costs, severance costs and non-cash pension and other postretirement benefit costs, as disclosed in the attached Schedules A and B, because investors have indicated to management that such adjustments are useful to them in assessing the Company and its results of operations.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to (i) assist in analyzing the Company’s underlying financial performance from period to period, (ii) evaluate the financial performance of its business units, (iii) analyze and evaluate strategic and operational decisions, (iv) establish criteria for compensation decisions, and (v) assist management in understanding the Company’s ability to generate cash flow and, as a result, to plan for future capital and operational decisions. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since items such as debt repayments and dividends are not deducted in determining such measure. Operating cash flow has similar shortcomings as interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, debt repayments and dividends are not deducted in determining this measure. Management compensates for the shortcomings of these measures by utilizing them in conjunction with their comparable GAAP financial measures. The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in our documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

These and other uncertainties related to our business are described in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, and the foregoing information should be read in conjunction with these filings.
