No assurance can be given that future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements will be achieved and actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In addition, there is risk and uncertainty in the Company’s acquisition strategy including our ability to integrate acquired companies and assets. Specifically there is a risk associated with our recent acquisitions, and the benefits thereof, including financial and operating results and synergy benefits that may be realized from these acquisitions and the timeframe for realizing these benefits. Other factors and risks that may affect our business and future financial results are detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K and most recent Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their respective dates. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after releasing this supplemental information or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. In addition to this presentation and our filings with the SEC, the Company provides a glossary of terms used throughout and a supplemental earnings presentation, both of which are available under the investor section of the Company’s website at http://www.zayo.com/investors. The supplemental earnings presentation includes definitions and tables reconciling non-GAAP measures used in this presentation, including the quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and quantitative reconciliations of adjusted unlevered free cash flow and levered free cash flow, each to net cash provided by operating activities.
