4 CENTURYLINK
services. This approach will allow us to focus our
investment where we have the best opportunity to
compete while still delivering the full range of services
that our customers expect.
We will manage expenses to sustain our dividend
and ability to invest. Our future will be driven by
increased automation, customer self-service and
continued simplification of our products, systems
and processes. Development of our cloud-based
service delivery platform and the work of our recently
established Transformation Office will help us deliver
those long-term needs. In the meantime, we focus
daily on driving increased levels of efficiency into
our business.
Over the long term, we expect to grow revenue and
continue to generate strong cash flow. As we work to
realize that future, we are committed to managing our
business in a way that balances, to the greatest degree
possible, our operating and capital expenses with our
operational performance.
DELIVERING ON OUR PROMISE
CenturyLink is well-positioned to help our customers
realize the promise of the digital economy. We have
dedicated and passionate employees around the world,
working with a sense of urgency. We have a strong
set of assets, the financial strength to continue to
invest in our future and the strategic clarity of how we
will grow our business by connecting our customers
to the digital world. We are excited and inspired by
the opportunities we see for our customers, our
employees and our shareholders.
We are eager to deliver on the promise we see in the
future of our company, and we appreciate your support
as we work to drive CenturyLink’s growth and success
in the months ahead.
