CINCINNATI - August 8, 2012 - Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE:CBB) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2012. For the quarter, revenue was $368 million, comparable to the second quarter of 2011 and improved from $363 million generated in the first quarter of 2012. Operating income for the quarter was $65 million compared to $78 million in the second quarter of 2011, while net income of $5 million resulted in diluted earnings per share of 1 cent compared to 5 cents in the second quarter of 2011, both down from 2011 due primarily to a $13 million non-cash impairment write-down of assets. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization1 (Adjusted EBITDA) for the second quarter of 2012 were $140 million, an improvement from $137 million generated in the same period of 2011 and $139 million in the first quarter of 2012.

For the first half of 2012, Cincinnati Bell generated revenue of $731 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $278 million, which were largely in-line with 2011 amounts of $728 million and $280 million, respectively. Operating income was $146 million, down from $164 million in the first half of 2011 due largely to the asset write-down mentioned above.

“The success of CyrusOne and Fioptics continues to be a strong catalyst for the growth in Cincinnati Bell's revenue and Adjusted EBITDA despite the challenges of ongoing access line and wireless subscriber losses,” said Jack Cassidy, president and chief executive officer. “This success helped to generate our highest first half revenue since 2003, and keeps us on track to meet our guidance for 2012.”

Quarterly Highlights
•
For the quarter, Data Center Colocation revenue of $54 million increased 20 percent compared to the second quarter of 2011, while the segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased 12 percent to $29 million, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA margin2 of 53 percent. At the end of the quarter, the segment had 801,000 square feet of total data center capacity and utilization was 85 percent.
•
Wireline revenue for the quarter was $184 million, up from $182 million in the first quarter of 2012 and down slightly from $185 million in the second quarter of 2011, as growth from the segment's Fioptics product suite and enterprise products continues to have a positive impact on revenue and to mitigate the impact of access line losses. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $88 million, comparable to $89 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $90 million in the second quarter of




2011. Wireline Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 48 percent, down slightly from 49 percent in both the first quarter in 2012 and the second quarter in 2011.
•
For the quarter, Wireless revenue was $62 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $24 million, resulting in a strong Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39 percent.
 
Financial and Operations Review
“We are extremely pleased with the 20 percent revenue growth of CyrusOne, and continue to believe our investment in this business and industry will provide high returns to our shareholders,” said Kurt Freyberger, chief financial officer. “The Communications business also performed well, growing quarterly revenue sequentially and maintaining strong Adjusted EBITDA margins.”

Data Center Colocation Segment
Revenue for the quarter was $54 million, an increase of $9 million or 20 percent compared to the second quarter in 2011 as a result of significant sales of data center space during the past year. The segment had an operating loss of $2 million in the second quarter of 2012 due largely to the $13 million non-cash write-down of facilities and intangibles primarily associated with its Gramtel acquisition in 2007. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter of $29 million does not include this write-down and increased 12 percent year-over-year, reflective of higher revenues partially offset by expected additional selling and administrative costs to support the growing operation. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter remained strong at 53 percent.
 
CyrusOne commissioned an additional 19,000 square feet of data center space during the quarter and decommissioned low-value legacy space totaling 24,000 square feet, resulting in data center capacity of 801,000 square feet at the end of the second quarter.  The company plans to redevelop the decommissioned space to conform to the high-density enterprise power standard it currently deploys, and expects to be able to charge increased rent on this redeveloped space.  Excluding the decommissioned space, the company sold an additional 19,000 square feet of space, resulting in quarter-end utilization of 85 percent, comparable to the first quarter of 2012 and down from 90 percent utilization in the second quarter of 2011.

Wireline Segment
For the quarter, Wireline revenue was $184 million, down slightly from $185 million in the second quarter of 2011 and improved from $182 million in the first quarter of 2012. Operating income amounted to $55 million, similar to the second quarter in 2011, while Adjusted EBITDA totaled $88 million, slightly lower than $90 million in the second quarter of 2011. The Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 48 percent compared to 49 percent in the same period a year ago. The growth of the company's entertainment, data and VoIP product lines, combined with its ongoing cost reduction efforts, continue to




offset the impact of access line losses on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
   
During the quarter, the company continued to invest in its Fioptics footprint, passing 22,000 additional homes and businesses and ending the quarter with a total of 169,000 units passed. Wireline added 4,000 new Fioptics entertainment and high-speed internet subscribers during the quarter, bringing each of the entertainment and high-speed internet subscriber bases to 47,000 at the end of the quarter. Total high-speed internet subscribers remained flat at 257,000, as the increase in Fioptics subscribers was offset by a decrease in DSL high-speed internet subscribers.

Wireless Segment
Wireless revenue for the quarter decreased to $62 million from $70 million in the second quarter of 2011, as subscriber losses from a competitive environment continued to challenge the segment. Despite the lower revenue, operating income in the quarter was $16 million, up from $15 million in the second quarter of 2011, and Adjusted EBITDA of $24 million was comparable to the same period a year ago. As a result, the segment generated a strong Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39 percent in the quarter.
  
Total wireless subscribers at the end of the quarter decreased to 430,000 from 487,000 at the end of the second quarter in 2011. The segment continues to grow its smartphone subscriber base, ending the quarter with a total of 127,000 smartphone subscribers, up from 113,000 at the end of the second quarter in 2011. Postpaid smartphone subscribers at quarter-end represented 36 percent of the total postpaid subscribers, up from 30 percent at the end of the second quarter in 2011.

IT Services and Hardware Segment
For the quarter, revenue was $77 million compared to $76 million in the second quarter of 2011, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $3 million from $4 million in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was 4 percent, down from 5 percent in the second quarter of 2011.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net income excluding special items, and net debt. These are non-GAAP financial measures used by Cincinnati Bell management when evaluating results of operations and cash flow. Management believes these measures also provide users of the financial statements with additional and useful comparisons of current results of operations and cash flows with past and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures. Detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP




financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures have been included in the tables distributed with this release and are available in the Investor Relations section of www.cincinnatibell.com.
 
1Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of operational performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP operating income plus depreciation, amortization, restructuring charges, asset impairments, components of pension and other retirement plan costs related to interest costs, asset returns, and amortization of actuarial gains and losses, and other special items.

2Adjusted EBITDA margin provides a useful measure of operational performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with the measure as defined by other companies.

Free cash flow provides a useful measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating, financing and investing activities, adjusted for the issuance and repayment of debt, debt issuance costs, the repurchase of common stock, and the proceeds from the sale or the use of funds from the purchase of business operations, including transaction costs. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities, or the change in cash on the balance sheet and may not be comparable with free cash flow as defined by other companies. Although the Company feels that there is no comparable GAAP measure for free cash flow, the attached financial information reconciles free cash flow to the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents.

Net income excluding special items in total and per share provides a useful measure of operating performance. Net income excluding special items should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with net income excluding special items as defined by other companies.

Net debt provides a useful measure of liquidity and financial health. The Company defines net debt as the sum of the face amount of short-term and long-term debt and unamortized premium and/or discount, offset by cash and cash equivalents.
