3 Background and Company Performance Industry Challenges Carrier Ethernet continues to gain acceptance among enterprises, due to the benefits it offers: scalability, reliability, and cost-efficient bandwidth. U.S. market revenues exceeded $4.7 billion in 2014, and are forecast to reach $12 billion in Market migration from time division multiplexing (TDM) private lines (T1/T3/SONET) to Ethernet is fueling double-digit revenue growth for both dedicated and switched Ethernet services. However, the year-over-year (YoY) growth rates are slowing down (compared to 3 years ago) due to market maturity, and the fact that Ethernet services are not as ubiquitously available as T1/T3 circuits witnessed an increased urgency from communication service providers (CSPs) to expand their Ethernet footprint through network-to-network interconnects (E-NNI) and a renewed focus on Ethernet over Copper services to expand Ethernet reach. As carriers expand their network footprints to reach more customer locations, Frost & Sullivan expects the growth rates to increase. Carriers are following a combined strategy of network roll-outs and interconnects to drive organic growth, and mergers and acquisitions to drive inorganic growth. Level 3, continuing on its inorganic growth strategy that started in 2005, acquired tw telecom in 2014 to significantly expand its market presence in the business Carrier Ethernet services market. Strategy Innovation and Customer Impact Strategy Effectiveness Level 3 has been on an acquisition spree since 2005 to establish itself as a leading competitor in the business services market. However, the big win for the carrier in the business Ethernet services market came via its tw telecom acquisition in tw telecom had been a long time challenger to the top three incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) AT&T, Verizon and CenturyLink before being acquired by Level 3. The tw telecom acquisition gave Level 3 immediate access to an enviable fiber-based metro Ethernet footprint comprising over 21,000 fiber-connected buildings, and advanced network capabilities such as dynamic bandwidth allocation. Because of the tw telecom acquisition, Level 3 s market share in the business metro Carrier Ethernet market more than tripled from 3.6% in 2013 to 12.2% in 2014, resulting in neck-and-neck competition between CenturyLink (ranked #3) and Level 3 (ranked #4). Strategy Execution Level 3, also a competitive exchange local carrier (CLEC) like tw telecom, has actively expanded its capabilities to directly serve enterprises over the last decade. Following its acquisition of WilTel in the fourth quarter of 2005, Level 3 acquired five different companies in 2006: Progress Telecom, ICG, TelCove, Looking Glass, and Broadwing. Each of these five acquisitions brought a unique set of metro fiber assets and business Frost & Sullivan We Accelerate Growth
4 customers to Level 3. In 2011, Level 3 acquired Global Crossing, which expanded the company s Ethernet capabilities in North America, Latin America, and in Europe. This acquisition transformed Level 3 into a truly global communication services company that caters to the enterprise, government, content provider and wholesale carrier segments. With the tw telecom acquisition, Level 3 s competitive positioning in the high-growth, enterprise-focused Ethernet services market leaps to third place (metro and long haul combined), behind only AT&T and Verizon; impressive growth for a company that forayed into the enterprise market barely eight years ago. Competitive Differentiation Level 3 s approach to cloud computing (and tw telecom s prior to acquisition) has remained consistent; a network-focused strategy. Level 3 partners with pure-play cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), and carrier neutral colocation providers, such as Equinix, to offer private network connectivity to cloud users. Level 3 s Cloud Connect Solutions include its MPLS VPN, Ethernet and private line services. With the tw telecom acquisition, Level 3 acquired a portfolio of advanced cloud-networking capabilities. Level 3 adopted tw telecom s intelligent networking solutions that include network performance management and on-demand dynamic bandwidth offering. As enterprises distribute their applications among private data centers, public clouds, private hosted clouds, and hybrid clouds, the networks connecting users to applications become more critical than in a single deployment model. With the tw telecom acquisition, Level 3 is better positioned to take advantage of the demand for high-performance, private networking for cloud connectivity. Customer Purchase Experience In choosing Ethernet services, customers are looking for consistent end-to-end service at a reasonable cost, something that is difficult to achieve when service providers are patching together access circuits from multiple carriers. Therefore, a broad footprint is key to a positive customer purchase experience. Level 3 has been a dominant player in the long haul Ethernet services market and is ranked #3 in our market share analysis, only behind Verizon and AT&T. However, the company s share in the metro market has been low despite the many acquisitions in the past. The tw telecom acquisition gives Level 3 a major leap in the metro Ethernet services market. Level 3 buys access circuits from various ILECs and CLECs in the market today. tw telecom is one among its many carrier partners. With this acquisition, Level 3 gains access to strong metro fiber assets that will help the company reduce its access costs. The cost savings are further translated into competitive pricing for its enterprise Ethernet and MPLS customers. The company will also be in a position to better support end-to-end SLAs due to an expanded on-net footprint across top metros. All these factors contribute toward a positive customer purchase experience. Frost & Sullivan We Accelerate Growth
5 Conclusion Frost & Sullivan s research indicates that Level 3 s acquisition strategy, particularly its tw telecom acquisition, and its successful integration has significantly influenced the company s competitive positioning. Level 3 s market share in the business metro Carrier Ethernet market increased from 3.6% in 2013 to an impressive 12.2% in 2014, resulting in increased revenue growth and a strong competitive positioning in the market Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy Innovation & Leadership in the Business Metro Carrier Ethernet Service market is presented to Level 3 in recognition of these impressive achievements.

6 Significance of Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Any successful approach to achieving top-line growth must (1) take into account what competitors are, and are not, doing; (2) meet customer demand with a comprehensive, value-driven product or service portfolio; and (3) establish a brand that resonates deeply with customers and stands apart from other providers. Companies must succeed at these three things brand, demand, and positioning to achieve best-practice levels in competitive strategy. This concept is explored further below. Understanding Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership As discussed above, driving demand, brand strength, and competitive differentiation all play a critical role in delivering unique value to customers. This three-fold focus, however, must ideally be complemented by an equally rigorous focus on strategy innovation and customer impact. Frost & Sullivan We Accelerate Growth
7 Key Benchmarking Criteria For the Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award, we evaluated two key factors Strategy Innovation and Customer Impact according to the criteria identified below. Strategy Innovation Criterion 1: Strategy Effectiveness Criterion 2: Strategy Execution Criterion 3: Competitive Differentiation Criterion 4: Executive Team Alignment Criterion 5: Stakeholder Integration Customer Impact Criterion 1: Price/Performance Value Criterion 2: Customer Purchase Experience Criterion 3: Customer Ownership Experience Criterion 4: Customer Service Experience Criterion 5: Brand Equity Best Practice Award Analysis for Level 3 Decision Support Scorecard To support its evaluation of best practices across multiple business performance categories, Frost & Sullivan employs a customized Decision Support Scorecard. This tool allows our research and consulting teams to objectively analyze performance, according to the key benchmarking criteria listed in the previous section, and to assign ratings on that basis. The tool follows a 10-point scale that allows for nuances in performance evaluation; ratings guidelines are illustrated below. RATINGS GUIDELINES The Decision Support Scorecard is organized by Strategy Innovation and Customer Impact (i.e., the overarching categories for all 10 benchmarking criteria; the definitions for each criteria are provided beneath the scorecard). The research team confirms the veracity of this weighted scorecard through sensitivity analysis, which confirms that small changes to the ratings for a specific criterion do not lead to a significant change in the overall relative rankings of the companies.
