Comments

• Sales related costs as % of revenues relatively stable from 2013 to 2015

− Increase in LTM June ‘16 period from higher local tail costs to support VPN revenue growth

• Network and operating costs largely stable due to continued cost optimization (relocation of operations to lower-cost locations such as Prague and Sofia)

− Increased in 2015, primarily driven by acquisition of Vtesse (Sept-14)

− Also driven by additional headcount for delivery of increased revenue and to capture future growth

Interoute stand-alone gross profit and adjusted EBITDA

Overview

17 Notes: No supplier accounted for more than 5% of our OLO spend for the LTM June ‘16. (1) One-off EBITDA adjustments include primarily exceptional releases of deferred revenue, movement in the valuation of dark fibre stock, restructuring costs, dilapidation and onerous lease provision releases and other non-recurring items.

Delivered average positive new net MRR(1)

(1) Average monthly amount calculated as quarterly amount divided by 3. Incremental additional revenue from new sales delivered during a month and that will recur on a monthly basis, excluding any usage-based revenue and net of any churn.

(2) Q3 ‘15 results shown are excluding new MRR for a one-off deal. Q3-15 win of €229k has been removed from Q3-15 data. Including the win would result in an average net MRR of €208k for Q3-15.

Comments

• Net MRR returned to historic levels in Q2 ’16, in line with management expectations

• Q4 ‘15 and Q1 ‘16 showed elevated churn – explained by Easynet integration and one-offs at Interoute

• Churn levels of Interoute below industry standards

Combined business demonstrated strong growth and successful execution of synergies

• Structurally negative working capital primarily as a result of deferred revenue from long-term contracts

• In FY ‘15 negative working capital increased as a result of one-off proactive management action, partially offset in H1 ‘16

− Elevated trade creditors and deferred revenues balances and slightly lower trade receivables (comparing Dec to normalized level in Oct ‘15)

• In H1 ‘16 working capital was impacted by working capital seasonality and unwinding of pro-active management action

− Deferred revenue balance was lower in H1 ‘16 due one-off impacts

Consolidated pro forma capex & working capital

• Maintenance capex to maintain physical infrastructure • Base capex to keep recurring revenues flat

− Base capex growth driven by investment in 500Gb platform to enable the sale of 100Gb channels

− 90% of network has been upgraded • Strategic growth capex to support current and future growth • Estimated payback period of 24 months for Network Services and 13

months for Enterprise Services(3) for LTM June ’16 • Easynet capex expected to be relatively stable • Year end capex (excluding integration capex) expected to be in the range

of €87-92m for combined entity

(2) Combined estimated WC position. (3) We estimate our payback period by dividing our base and strategic growth capex by gross profit generated from revenues added over the last 12 months to compensate for annual churn (monthly avg. churn x 12 applied against LTM June ’16 revenues).

Related financials (in €m) for Enterprise Business – Implied Revenue Churn: (€19.1m) using 7.3% annual churn rate, Vtesse revenue increase of €2.3m, implying Added Revenue of €44.6m, Gross Profit of 28.5 based on 63.8% margin, base and strategic capex of €30.7m. Network Services - Implied Revenue Churn: (€20.5m) using 11.1% annual churn rate, Vtesse revenue increase of €2.1m, implying Added Revenue of €24.8m, Gross Profit of €17.5m based on 70.6% margin, capex of €34.5m.

On a combined basis, we view an outflow relating to change in NWC in the range of €10-15m p.a. as a normal level in the absence of one-off impacts
