Closing Thoughts
We have officially closed the door on 2013 and are now focused firmly on the new year.
Many of you attended one of our 2014 annual Kickoff events, where we highlighted our 2013 successes, discussed 2014 priori-
ties, and recognized top performers, including our 2013 President’s Club winners, who are listed on page 3. Half of them are
first time winners, and all made significant contributions to our success that included exceeding 2013 CAO and Suddenlink
financial goals. Congratulations!
Looking ahead, we announced our new 2014 theme, Shattering Bounda-
ries, and introduced our new long-term goal of achieving $750 million in
annual revenue by 2020. Great opportunities lie ahead.
We are out of the starting gate in 2014, and well on our way to recording
a strong first quarter. Let’s all make 2014 the year we achieve a new per-
sonal best. Set new performance goals that enable you to shatter the boundaries of any previous performance levels you’ve
accomplished. We must aim very high to accomplish great things.
Here’s to Shattering Boundaries in 2014.
Thanks,
Kevin

We finished 2013 with a huge December. Central Media was more than a half million
dollars over budget. We exceeded in almost every revenue category. In addition,
Central Media exceeded OCF budget (profit) by more than $600,000 overall. Such a result
greatly helps our corporate results for all of Suddenlink Communications. Thanks to each
of you for a positive year.

Updates from Across Our FootprintUpdates from Across Our Footprint
by Brent Skinner, VP, Advertising Sales
Suddenlink Central Media
iNET sales ended the year over budget. Looking forward, our iNET sales for 2014 are already greater than full year 2013 and our
momentum with Internet Banner and Pre-Roll sales has increased to high
levels. Our goal this year is to increase our customer count from 119 in 2013
to a minimum of 400 iNET clients in 2014. The top billing region for iNET in
2013 was College Station. Great Job !
Now we are all zeroed in on our programs for the new year. Among the
most important items will be (i) grow our iNET customer base to 400 clients
(ii) lay annual business in through an All Season Pass sports sales initiative in
February (iii) Market Tests in Q1 and Q2 (iv) improved training of sales
staffs and sales leaders for iNET (v) customer education of Suddenlink Me-
dia products through group engagement in lunches and presentations, and
(vi) bundling of more products to improve customer satisfaction.
ITV This past year we launched iTV in Tyler and College Station. Several clients began using the medium. In 2014 we offer ITV in
other Central Media markets. Whether the clients use the Voting & Polling, Request for Information or the Telescoping features
available, our product is unique in that our local competitors won’t have the ability to match it. Our development team has also be-
gun testing the delivery of video ads with NBCU to TVE (TV Everywhere).
2013 Football sales ended with all-time record sales. NFL and NCAA football sales totaled $4.2 million which was an increase of
$550,000 from 2012. Our top results were in Midland which had the highest sales of $208,000 in NFL Football, Lubbock which had
the highest sales of $126,000 in NCAA Football and, Tyler which sold the most College Bowl Games with $113,000 in sales.
Through our Commercial Customerlink program we proactively reached out to over 5,500 customers. We thanked customers for
their positive feedback, and we responded to any issues so we could address them as soon as possible. As a result we are starting to
see higher satisfaction rates that will ultimately lead to less customer disconnects, more customer referrals and happier customers
who will stay with us longer and buy more products.
Many new Initiatives were deployed in 2013 that will help fuel future growth into 2014 including – Docusign electronic signature
launch that makes it very simple and fast to retrieve contract signatures and paperwork. New IVR to better handle calls into our call
center for sales, technical support and customer care. Launch of footprint to help improve visibility and expand our serviceability.
Product development to support managed services for K-12 Erate season and proposals. New Plus Internet and Phone bundles,
transactional Wideband, launch of Channel Partner program and many more.
Thank you for your efforts in 2013, your teamwork, drive to succeed, and desire to take care of the customer is evident. I look for-
ward to 2014 – we’ve got a lot of good stuff ahead of us – watch out 100,000 phone lines HERE WE COME!!
We should all be very proud of all our accomplishments in 2013. From a sales per-
spective, 48 out of 56 sales reps that have been onboard at Suddenlink for over 9
months were at 100% or above of monthly quota for the year. That type of individual suc-
cess fueled revenue and customer growth across all regions. We added 5,269 new busi-
ness accounts, gained 5,238 Internet customers –including a net gain of 1,487 Wideband
customers. Phone lines grew by almost 20,000 and will exceed 100,000 lines in 2014, fiber
customers grew by 262 and PRI by 86. We can’t sustain that type of activity without the
vital support our sales support teams, project managers, sales engineers, field operations/
fulfillment, customer care and technical support teams.

by Tim Archer, Vice President, CAO Services Delivery
As we finish the holiday season, I have a tendency to reflect on the events of the past year. This year
was the birth of the Service Delivery department. By early summer, project management, sales engi-
neers, and sales support were structured as one cohesive unit.
Carrier Corner
by Tyler Nau,
VP Finance, GM Carrier Srvcs
As I sit to write this memo, December 2013 seems like ancient history! We’ve already had a 2014 Kickoff meeting, where we
reviewed priorities for Sales, Service Delivery, and Service Support—the business plans are baked and it’s all about focus and
execution at this point.
Achieving our twofold mandate of driving aggressive revenue and cash flow growth while continuously improving the cus-
tomer experience will require us to work hard as a team in 2014. I know that we are up to the challenge and I look forward
to achieving our goals together in 2014!
2013 Full Year Statistics:
Financials: For the full year 2013, Suddenlink Carrier achieved 106% of our revenue target 105% of our Operating Cash
Flow (OCF) target,
New Contracts Signed: $662K in new MRR signed, 102% of 2013 budget,
New Revenue Installed: $970K in new MRR installed, 85% of 2013 budget, including over 675 highly complex new cir-
cuits.
2013was a pivotal year—the Suddenlink Carrier Team per-
formed well against all of the metrics that are critical to ad-
vancing the business, but equally important was how we evolved as a team, in-
cluding extended team members in corporate engineering, regional operations,
and the NOC.
While we added some new leaders, we also depended primarily on our existing workforce through this transition. I have been im-
pressed with both the level of professionalism and team work exhibited by support person-
nel. We started by building reports from scratch to measure processes and results. Many of
the steps within end-to-end service delivery had never been quantified. This new found visibil-
ity and accountability allows us to discover best practices, which are being used to standardize
processes. The desired outcome is a happy customer that experiences consistent results. This
enables an environment more conducive for individual and team success.
In 2013, we also began the roll out of our new serviceability tool, Footprint. By year end, we
were live in 12 markets! This tool will help enable higher close rates for sales teams and less
labor for field personnel. Finally, with the support of our partners in the field, we are now on
the path to transactional deployment of wideband sales and installation. As with any transi-
tion, Service Delivery efforts to affect positive change are a must.

Super Six Championship Games
The Production Department made its annual trip to Wheeling for the WV Super Six Football
Championships December 6th and 7th. I want to thank the entire production department for
once again braving the elements. The team included Production Manager Brian Guthrie, Produc-
ers Mitch Owen, Bryan Barker, Steve Spencer, Dave Murray, Cathy Echard, and Eric Merrow. Al-
so, thanks to others who helped, Director of Operations Dave Howell, Manager of Customer &
Sales Experience Stephen Douglas, and Network Administrator Rob Harvey.
Traveling Performance Cup
Last year we purchased a trophy that we planned to use to recognize the office with the highest
performing percentage to budget each month. The Traveling Performance Cup would sit in a
place of honor in the office that had earned the bragging rights for that month. Congratulations,
looks like Beckley wins big for 2013!! This is a challenge to the other East Media offices to step
up their game in 2014!
President’s Club Winners
I am very pleased to announce the following Account Executives from the East Media Division as winners of the 2013 President’s
Club! From the Charleston office, Stephanie Merritt finished 114.53% of her budget and Theresa Cooper at 112.56% of her budget.
From the Beckley office, Lesa Gallimore achieved 120.51% of her budget, Becky Lucas finished at 117.59%, and Ben Fritz at
101.52%. Also, from the Beckley office, Local Sales Manager Kelly Hamrick is a winner achieving 114.33% of her budget. Lesa and
Kelly are first time winners, but the other recipients have earned this prestigious honor multiple years. Congratulations to all. I look
forward to spending time with you on our President’s Club trip in April.
What they buy: WV State Police bght Wideband Internet Premier Plus which is 20/5 Mbps at 15 of the locations in our footprint,
the last location is pending for a total monthly revenue of $4,600. They had previously been a Suddenlink customer but had
switched to DSL.
Benefits/Impacts of our Service: Account Executive Melissa Wright was able to get back in the door to win back their service with
the promise of a significantly faster speed to power their agency locations provided by our Wideband Premier 20/5 and Extreme
50/8 products. These products allow us to offer the Fastest Business Internet Speeds in our markets at a cost effective price and
installation interval. Melissa is confident that she will eventually win their business for Business Class Phone with the value of the
Internet Voice Bundle. The Wideband advantage gave Melissa the product benefit to win a large multi-location business.
Overview: The West Virginia State Police agency was created in 1919 and is the

phasis on providing basic enforcement and citizen protection from criminal depreda-
tion throughout the state and maintaining the safety of the state’s public streets,

December ended on a high note for the East Division. After a couple of disappointing
months we had a tremendous December, finishing $361,796 over budget for revenue. As
I write this everyone is focused on our annuals for 2014 and setting the stage for another
big year. Thanks so much for everyone who made this possible and we look forward to a great
2014.
In Your Shoes
We finished 2013 In Your Shoes with James Long, Account Executive in Parkersburg. We visited
clients, made cold calls, production calls, and James gave annual presentations that included our
Pre-Roll product. I’ve found the time spent out in the field to be educational.

T
he New Year is in full swing and hopefully you’re excited about the vast opportunities
2014 brings. It’s a chance to make a fresh start by clearing your head of negative
thoughts, leaving behind any regrets or shortcomings from 2013, and re-directing all
of your energy into 2014. If you haven’t already, take some time to determine where you want
to go this year and set goals for yourself.
Setting goals will get you thinking about your ideal future and provide motivation for turning your vision into reality. It will also help
put things into perspective and let you know exactly where to focus your efforts. To outline a plan for your success, make sure your
goals are SMART. In other words, your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Write them down
and always keep your goals in front of you so you may attack them at full speed.
No one can truly determine what will happen in any given year, but if you don’t have goals or a specific plan, you’re almost guaran-
teed a lackluster year or even failure. By putting an action plan in place, you can be well on your way to making headway and ex-
ceeding expectations. Keep in mind if you aim at nothing, you’re bound to hit it every time. Yes, 2014 will have its challenges – but
BE BOLD and BE BRAVE. We have Customers to retain and grow as well as a customer base to build. Help spread the word about
all the great things Suddenlink has to offer and the new opportunities ahead. You never know who may hear you – possibly a cur-
rent customer who is reassured of the great service they have received or perhaps our next customer who is excited about the great
things they can expect.
So figure out what you want, power through the tough periods, and start being who you want to be.
