NOTE 12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As discussed in Notes 1 and 8, on February 2, 2026, we acquired substantially all of Lumen’s Mass Markets fiber business, including fiber network assets that are held in a new, wholly owned subsidiary, Forged Fiber, which is reflected as discontinued operations. Forged Fiber will continue to support the accompanying acquired fiber customers retained by our Advanced Connectivity segment. To reflect ongoing commercial arrangements following the disposal, results have been presented on a gross basis, with approximately $95 of operating expenses reported in continuing operations and the corresponding revenues reported in discontinued operations. Discontinued operations were also allocated a proportionate share of goodwill, acquisition-related costs and related cash flows.
