our ability to successfully and timely implement our corporate strategies, including our deleveraging and buildout strategies; our ability to successfully and timely consummate the pending divestiture of our European, Middle Eastern and African business, to successfully and timely realize the anticipated benefits from that divestiture and our divestitures completed in 2022, and to successfully operate and transform our retained business after such divestitures; changes in our operating plans, corporate strategies, or capital allocation plans, whether based upon changes in our cash flows, cash requirements, financial performance, financial position, market or regulatory conditions, or otherwise; the impact of any future material acquisitions or divestitures that we may transact; the negative impact of increases in the costs of our pension, healthcare, post-employment or other benefits, including those caused by changes in markets, interest rates, mortality rates, demographics or regulations;

You are cautioned not to unduly rely upon our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, changed circumstances, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes certain historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including but not limited to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt, net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA and free cash flow, each excluding the effects of special items, and adjustments to GAAP and other non-GAAP measures to exclude the effect of special items. In addition to providing key metrics for management to evaluate the company’s performance, we believe these measurements assist investors in their understanding of period-to-period operating performance and in identifying historical and prospective trends. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures and additional non-GAAP historical financial measures that may be discussed during the presentation, along with further descriptions of non-GAAP financial measures, are available in the Investor Relations portion of the company’s website at http://ir.lumen.com. Non-GAAP measures are not presented to be replacements or alternatives to the GAAP measures, and investors are urged to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not in substitution for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Lumen may present or calculate its non-GAAP measures differently from other companies. Description of Non-GAAP Metrics Pursuant to Regulation G, the company is hereby providing definitions of non-GAAP financial metrics We use the term Special Items as a non-GAAP measure to describe items that impacted a period’s statement of operations for which investors may want to give special consideration due to their magnitude, nature or both. We do not call these items non-recurring because, while some are infrequent, others may recur in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA ($) is defined as net income (loss) from the Statements of Operations before income tax (expense) benefit, total other income (expense), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and impairments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures as disclosed in the Statements of Cash Flows. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a relevant metric to provide to investors, as it is an indicator of our ability to generate cash to service our debt. Free Cash Flow excludes cash used for acquisitions, principal repayments and the impact of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents balances. Net Debt is defined as total long-term debt, excluding unamortized discounts, premiums and other, net and unamortized debt issuance costs, minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net Debt, divided by Adjusted EBITDA derived over the last twelve-month period. See the company’s above-referenced website for additional information about the company’s use of non-GAAP metrics, including certain limitations on their use. We have not provided a reconciliation for our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow forecast because the forecast is related to events that have not occurred and we believe it would be unreasonable and burdensome to do so. 2

Lumen Collaborates with Microsoft to bring savings, simplicity to customers

Operator Connect a lead indicator of benefits to keep coming from two powerhouses

DENVER, June 5, 2023 – Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) has announced the upcoming launch of their Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams Phone offering, part of Lumen and Microsoft’s growing collaboration. Lumen expects this to help them do more for companies that are facing the challenge of modernizing their hybrid workforce. The product brings a powerful value to the new demands this hybrid employee base brings – specifically for fast, easy, and simplified connection and collaboration abilities.

The Lumen upcoming launch is a key building block in the company’s partnering strategy to make more possible for customers by bringing better customer experiences, improved quality of products and services, and increased productivity.

“Partners make more possible,” stated Kate Johnson, President and CEO at Lumen. “Lumen is revamping our alliance partner ecosystem with companies like Microsoft so we can be even more consultative in our approach – we can really help customers choose the products that will drive the best business outcomes.”

Network Scale Creates Unique Low Latency for Intense Workloads

Operator Connect provides clients with a quick and simple way to deploy calling in Microsoft Teams with no on-premises equipment, and with easy customization capabilities. This is a solid win for customers, who will be able to use their existing investment in Teams without the need for on-premises solutions.

Growth Engine Growing at Lumen

Microsoft is an early entrant to the Growth Operating System at Lumen. This is a new process to deeply understand customer needs in the face of the complexity of cloud and connectivity disruptors.

Lumen will use these insights to help customers take advantage of the transformative capabilities coming from innovations such as the metaverse and AI. Lumen also expects to see an acceleration of sales leads and closures, and increased product expansion, from the collaboration. “When customers get what they value, it’s not a sales process. It’s a partnership building process,” said Jay Barrows, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Sales and Public Sector at Lumen.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Lumen Technologies. Their scale of network and metro edge compute infrastructure is uniquely differentiated for low latency experiences. With our combined strengths, Microsoft and Lumen will enable customers to access advanced immersive capabilities for improved collaboration, productivity, and innovation,” stated Rick Wagner, President, Microsoft Federal. “This effort is a great example of how Microsoft works with industry leaders to deliver results for customers at scale.”
