“Safe Harbor” Statement
This presentation contains statements about expected future events and financial results that are
forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties. For those statements, we claim the protection
of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. The following important factors could affect future results and could cause those results
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements: the effects of adverse
conditions in the U.S. and international economies; the effects of competition in our markets;
materially adverse changes in labor matters, including workforce levels and labor negotiations, and
any resulting financial and/or operational impact, in the markets served by us or by companies in
which we have substantial investments; the effect of material changes in available technology; any
disruption of our suppliers’ provisioning of critical products or services; significant increases in
benefit plan costs or lower investment returns on plan assets; the impact of natural or man-made
disasters or existing or future litigation and any resulting financial impact not covered by insurance;
technology substitution; an adverse change in the ratings afforded our debt securities by nationally
accredited ratings organizations or adverse conditions in the credit markets impacting the cost,
including interest rates, and/or availability of financing; any changes in the regulatory environments
in which we operate, including any loss of or inability to renew wireless licenses, and the final results
of federal and state regulatory proceedings and judicial review of those results; the timing, scope and
financial impact of our deployment of fiber-to-the-premises broadband technology; changes in our
accounting assumptions that regulatory agencies, including the SEC, may require or that result from
changes in the accounting rules or their application, which could result in an impact on earnings; our
ability to complete acquisitions and dispositions; our ability to successfully integrate Alltel
Corporation into Verizon Wireless’s business and achieve anticipated benefits of the acquisition; and
the inability to implement our business strategies.
Reconciliations to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for non-GAAP financial
measures included in this presentation can be found on our website at www.verizon.com/investor.
