**Consolidated Communications Reports Positive Broadband Net Adds for 2022 and Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results**

● *Consumer fiber broadband net add growth for FY 2022 was 2.6x FY 2021 growth* <sup>[1](#footnote-2)</sup>

● *Consumer fiber broadband revenue grew 37%* <sup>1</sup> *in FY 2022 driven by fiber net adds and increased ARPU* 

● *Completed more than 400,000 Gigabit+ fiber upgrades for FY 2022 resulting in 1 million total Gig+ fiber locations or approximately 38% of the Company's network* 

● *Closed on sale of Kansas assets for $82 million in Q4 resulting in net proceeds from strategic asset sales of over $600 million during 2022* 

● *Key leadership additions bring extensive fiber network and subscription based go-to-market expertise* 

**<br>MATTOON, Ill. – Feb. 28, 2023** – Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNSL) (the "Company" or "Consolidated"), a top 10 fiber provider in the U.S., today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.

"We gained strong momentum with our Fidium consumer broadband services during 2022 as we added 40,100 fiber subscribers<sup>1</sup>, more than double the prior year, and grew consumer fiber broadband revenue 37%<sup>1</sup>," said Bob Udell, chief executive officer at Consolidated Communications. "Our team delivered another big build year with more than 400,000 fiber upgrades and the achievement of 1 million total fiber locations."

"We will continue to drive penetrations and refine our go-to-market strategy as we deliver a superior fiber service and an industry-leading customer experience. With a newly aligned leadership team and fiber reaching almost 40% of our base, we are accelerating our growth plans across consumer, commercial and carrier during 2023, setting the Company up for year over year revenue and EBITDA growth in 2024."

<sup>1</sup> *Normalized for the divestitures of the Company's Ohio and Kansas assets, where applicable, which closed on Jan. 31, 2022 and Nov. 30, 2022, respectively. Refer to the tables contained in this press release for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures.*

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Results** (compared to fourth quarter 2021 where applicable)

● Revenue totaled $296.0 million, down 7.1%.

● Revenue normalized totaled $288.3 million, down 5.2% <sup>1</sup> ; Consumer fiber revenue was $24.0 million, up approximately 49%, up 51% normalized <sup>1</sup> , driven by strong operating metrics including 10,600 consumer fiber net adds <sup>1</sup> and increased ARPU of 4.5%.

● Commercial data services revenue was $56.7 million, down 1.4%; up 1.3% normalized <sup>1</sup> .

● Carrier data-transport revenue was $33.8 million, up 3.3%; up 3.7% normalized <sup>1</sup> .

● Subsidy revenue was $13.1 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, primarily reflecting CAF II step down and transition to the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund ("RDOF") partly offset by the recognition of Texas High Cost Fund settlements related to prior years.

● Other products and services revenue was $2.0 million, a decrease of $5.8 million, largely due to lower recognition of public private partnership construction projects.

● Adjusted EBITDA was $101.7 million.

● Total committed capital expenditures were $124.3 million driven by 60,700 fiber passings added and the timing of construction and CPE inventory purchases.

● Extended the maturity of $250 million revolving credit facility from 2025 to 2027, subject to springing maturity, and enhanced financial flexibility under the revolver.

Operating expenses increased $4.7 million versus the prior year primarily due to marketing and advertising expenses related to higher professional fees for customer service and process improvement initiatives, as well as severance costs. These higher expenses were partly offset by lower video programming expenses and the divestiture of the Kansas City operations on Nov. 30.

Net interest expense was $33.2 million, a decrease of $4.9 million versus the prior year, primarily as a result of non-cash interest of $7.3 million in 2021 on the Searchlight note, which was converted to perpetual preferred stock in conjunction with the second stage closing of its investment in December 2021, partly offset by higher interest on the term loan. Notwithstanding the heightened interest rate environment, the Company is well positioned with 77% of its total debt at a fixed rate through July 2023, and 53% fixed thereafter. As of Dec. 31, 2022, the weighted average cost of debt was 6.48%.

Cash distributions from the Company's wireless partnerships totaled $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $9.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to timing of the close of the sale of the partnerships, coupled with Verizon's accelerated capital investments which impacted the Company's fourth quarter distributions.

Loss from continuing operations was ($40.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to income from continuing operations of $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss per share from continuing operations was ($0.46) in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to income per share from continuing operations of $0.05 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share excludes certain items as outlined in the table provided in this release. Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share from continuing operations was ($0.17) compared to $0.06 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

**Full-Year 2022 Results** (compared to full-year 2021 where applicable)

● Revenue totaled $1.19 billion, down 7.1%.

● Revenue normalized totaled $1.15 billion, down 6.3%.

● Consumer fiber revenue was $82.0 million, up approximately 35%, up 37% normalized <sup>1</sup> , driven by strong operating metrics, including 40,100 consumer fiber net adds <sup>1</sup> and increased ARPU of 2.1%.

● Commercial data services revenue was $228.5 million, down 0.2%; up 1.4% normalized <sup>1</sup> .

● Carrier data-transport revenue was $137.4 million, up 3.0%; up 0.7% normalized <sup>1</sup> *.* 

● Subsidy revenue was $33.4 million, a decrease of $36.4 million, primarily reflecting the previously discussed CAF II step down and transition to RDOF, partly offset by the recognition of Texas High Cost Fund settlements related to prior years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● Adjusted EBITDA was $413.6 million.

● Total committed capital expenditures were $601.1 million.

**Executive Management Team Realignment**

The Company recently added three highly talented industry executives, including: Gaurav Juneja, president of consumer; Dan Stoll, president of commercial and carrier; and Fred Graffam, CFO. They collectively have decades of telecom experience at major service providers, as well as substantial experience leveraging fiber investments and driving market penetration which will help advance the Company's strategy and return to growth.

**Asset and Investment Sales**

On Nov. 30, 2022, Consolidated completed the sale of its Kansas City assets for gross cash proceeds of $82 million, which will be invested in the business and used to support the Company's FttP broadband growth plan. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recognized an additional loss on sale of $16.8 million as a result of purchase price adjustments and an increase in net assets held for sale and estimated selling costs during the period.

The Company continues to actively review its portfolio for further monetization opportunities in support of its growth plan. Collectively during 2022, the Company closed on asset sales in excess of $600 million.

**Capital Structure**

On Nov. 22, 2022, the Company extended the maturity of its $250 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") from 2025 to 2027, subject to springing maturity, and enhanced its financial flexibility under the Revolver. As a result, the Company has no maturities until 2027.

As of Dec. 31, 2022, the Company maintained liquidity with cash and short-term investments of approximately $414 million and $225 million of available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit facility, subject to certain covenants. The net leverage ratio for the trailing 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2022, was 4.18x.

**2023 Outlook** 

The Company's 2023 outlook includes another inflection point with nearly half of its service area being FttP by year end, which provides a significant addressable market opportunity to drive revenue and EBITDA growth in 2024.

Consolidated Communications is providing the following outlook for the full-year 2023.

● Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in a range of $310 million to $330 million.

● Capital expenditures are expected to be in a range of $425 million to $445 million.

● Cash interest expense is expected to be in a range of $145 million to $155 million.

● Cash income taxes are expected to be below $10 million .

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance as compared to 2022 includes the impact of approximately $50 million resulting from 2022 asset sales including Kansas and the wireless partnerships, an expected $20 million reduction in legacy voice, approximately $10 million for fiber-to-the- tower contract pricing step downs in the carrier business, as well as increased marketing and sales expenses.

Fred Graffam, chief financial officer, commented, "With over $400 million of cash on our balance sheet at year end, coupled with availability under our $250 million Revolver, we are well positioned to continued executing on our fiber expansion and growth plan."

Learn more at consolidated.com. <br>**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

This press release, as well as the conference call, includes disclosures regarding "EBITDA," "adjusted EBITDA," "total net debt to last 12 month adjusted EBITDA ratio" or "Net debt leverage ratio," "adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share," and "Normalized revenue," all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, they should not be construed as alternatives to net cash from operating or investing activities, cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP and are not, on their own, necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the tables that follow.

Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of EBITDA, adjusted for certain items as permitted or required by the lenders under our credit agreement in place at the end of each quarter in the periods presented. The tables that follow include an explanation of how adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each of the periods presented with the reconciliation to net income (loss) from continuing operations. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization on a historical basis. <br>

We present adjusted EBITDA for several reasons. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to fund our estimated uses of cash (including interest on our debt). In addition, we have presented adjusted EBITDA to investors in the past because it is frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and management believes presenting it here provides a measure of consistency in our financial reporting. Adjusted EBITDA, referred to as Available Cash in our credit agreement, is also a component of the restrictive covenants and financial ratios contained in our credit agreement that requires us to maintain compliance with these covenants and limit certain activities, such as our ability to incur debt. The definitions in these covenants and ratios are based on Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to specified charges. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA provides our board of directors with meaningful information, with other data, assumptions and considerations, to measure our ability to service and repay debt. We present the related "total net debt to last 12 month adjusted EBITDA ratio" or "Net debt leverage ratio" principally to help investors understand how we measure leverage and facilitate comparisons by investors, security analysts and others. Total net debt is defined as the current and long-term portions of debt and finance lease obligations less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, deferred debt issuance costs and discounts on debt. Our Net debt leverage ratio differs in certain respects from the similar ratio used in our credit agreement or against comparable measures of certain other companies in our industry. These measures differ in certain respects from the ratios used in our senior notes indenture.

Page 4 of 18

------

These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since items such as debt repayment and interest payments are not deducted from such measure. In addition, the ratio of total net debt to last 12-month adjusted EBITDA is subject to the risk that we may not be able to use the cash on the balance sheet to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Management believes this ratio is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the future.

We present the non-GAAP measure "adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share" because our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share are regularly affected by items that occur at irregular intervals or are non-cash items. We believe that disclosing these measures assists investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating both our company over time and the relative performance of the companies in our industry.

**Notes**:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) In Q1 2021, the Company launched a multi-year fiber build plan to upgrade 1.6 million passings or 70% of our service area to fiber Gig+ capable services. As of December 31, 2022, 403,000 of the target 400,000 passings for 2022 were upgraded to FttP and total fiber passings were ~1,009,000 or 38% of the Company's service area.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The sale of the non-core Ohio operations resulted in a reduction of approximately 5,658 DSL/Copper passings and 3,560 DSL/Copper broadband connections in the first quarter of 2022. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The sale of the net assets of our Kansas City operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted in a reduction of approximately 135,144 DSL/Copper passings, 3,325 fiber broadband connections, 10,945 DSL/Copper broadband connections, 6,670 consumer voice connections, 13,425 video connections and 1,415 on-net buildings. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Fiber broadband revenue includes revenue from our Kansas City operations of approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and approximately $0.5 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022. Amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the sale.

As of December 31, 2022, 403,000 of the target 400,000 passings for 2022 were upgraded to FttP and total fiber passings were ~1,009,000 or 38% of the Company's service area. (2) The sale of the non-core Ohio operations resulted in a reduction of approximately 5,658 DSL/Copper passings and 3,560 DSL/Copper broadband connections in the first quarter of 2022. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the sale. (3) The sale of the net assets of our Kansas City operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted in a reduction of approximately 135,144 DSL/Copper passings, 3,325 fiber broadband connections, 10,945 DSL/Copper broadband connections, 6,670 consumer voice connections, 13,425 video connections and 1,415 on-net buildings. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the sale. (4) Fiber broadband revenue includes revenue from our Kansas City operations of approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and approximately $0.5 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022. Amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the sale. Non-GAAP Measures This presentation, as well as the conference call, includes disclosures regarding "EBITDA," "adjusted EBITDA," "total net debt to last 12 month adjusted EBITDA ratio" or "Net debt leverage ratio," and "Normalized revenue," all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, they should not be construed as alternatives to net cash from operating or investing activities, cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP and are not, on their own, necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the tables that follow. Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of EBITDA, adjusted for certain items as permitted or required by the lenders under our credit agreement in place at the end of each quarter in the periods presented. The tables that follow include an explanation of how adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each of the periods presented with the reconciliation to net income (loss) from continuing operations. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization on a historical basis. We present adjusted EBITDA for several reasons. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to fund our estimated uses of cash (including interest on our debt). In addition, we have presented adjusted EBITDA to investors in the past because it is frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and management believes presenting it here provides a measure of consistency in our financial reporting. Adjusted EBITDA, referred to as Available Cash in our credit agreement, is also a component of the restrictive covenants and financial ratios contained in our credit agreement that requires us to maintain compliance with these covenants and limit certain activities, such as our ability to incur debt. The definitions in these covenants and ratios are based on Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to specified charges. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA provides our board of directors with meaningful information, with other data, assumptions and considerations, to measure our ability to service and repay debt. We present the related "total net debt to last 12 month adjusted EBITDA ratio" or "Net debt leverage ratio" principally to help investors understand how we measure leverage and facilitate comparisons by investors, security analysts and others. Total net debt is defined as the current and long-term portions of debt and finance lease obligations less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, deferred debt issuance costs and discounts on debt. Our Net debt leverage ratio differs in certain respects from the similar ratio used in our credit agreement or against comparable measures of certain other companies in our industry. These measures differ in certain respects from the ratios used in our senior notes indenture. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since items such as debt repayment and interest payments are not deducted from such measure. In addition, the ratio of total net debt to last 12-month adjusted EBITDA is subject to the risk that we may not be able to use the cash on the balance sheet to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Management believes this ratio is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the future.  |
