               WorldCom Issues September 2002 Operating Results


CLINTON, Miss., November 11, 2002 - WorldCom, Inc. today filed its September
2002 Monthly Operating Report with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York. During the month of September 2002, WorldCom recorded
$2.3 billion in revenue, $416 million in earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and a net loss from continuing
operations of $108 million.

During the month, WorldCom's capital expenditure of approximately $98 million
was focused on line cost reductions and new products - such as The WorldCom
Connection, The Neighborhood and IP-based virtual private networks. This lower
level of spending reflects previous spending to build out the global network,
completion of major systems integration projects and discontinued operations.

WorldCom ended September with approximately $1.4 billion in cash on hand, an
increase of $200 million from the beginning of the period.

The financial results discussed in this release and the September 2002 Monthly
Operating Report exclude results from Embratel. Until WorldCom completes a
thorough balance sheet evaluation, including reviews of goodwill, property and
equipment, accrual balances and allowances for doubtful accounts, the Company
will not issue a balance sheet or cash flow statement as part of its monthly
operating report.

     The Monthly Operating Reports are available on WorldCom's Restructuring
Information Desk at www.worldcom.com.

Based on current information and a preliminary analysis of its ability to
satisfy outstanding liabilities, WorldCom believes when it emerges from
bankruptcy proceedings, its existing WorldCom and Intermedia preferred stock
and WorldCom group and MCI group tracking stock issues will have no value.
