1 Group NPS  shows the cumulative movement in our customers' perception of BT since April 2016. It's a combined measure of ‘promoters’ minus ‘detractors’ across our business units.
2 Group RFT is our key measure of customer service and shows the cumulative movement since April 2016. It tracks how often we keep our promises to customers (e.g. completing orders/fixing faults on time).

The scope of NPS and RFT are re-baselined at the start of the financial year.

New Openreach wholesale pricing structure

•     CPs incentivised to encourage more of their customers onto
      better and faster services of superfast and ultrafast:
      – more than 17.5 million homes and businesses could order
           better broadband over the Openreach network
•     Multi-year special offer with volume, mix and forecasting
      commitments for long-term discounts:
      – tier structure covering 3 and 5 year take-up commitments
      – qualification criteria based on current take-up of fibre with
           Openreach
      – discounts go beyond Ofcom’s pricing controls, some as much
           as 40% below current pricing
      – key clauses include CP-CP migration threshold and volume
           protection for small competing alt nets

      – adverse impact in the order of high tens of millions of pounds

Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking and are made in reliance on the safe harbour provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, without limitation, those
concerning: our outlook for 2018/19 including revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow; capital expenditure for 2018/19; the transformation of our operating model; and our increasing network investment through Openreach’s Fibre
First programme, further 4G mobile network build and the proposed 5G trial.

Although BT believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. Because these statements involve risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause differences between actual results and those implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: material adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by BT whether
as a result of the uncertainties arising from the UK’s exit from the EU or otherwise; future regulatory and legal actions, decisions, outcomes of appeal and conditions or requirements in BT’s operating areas, as well as competition
from others; consultations and market reviews including the outcome of Ofcom’s reviews of the Wholesale Broadband Access market and USO; the DCMS Future Telecoms Infrastructure review; selection by BT and its customer
facing units of the appropriate trading and marketing models for its products and services; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; technological innovations, including the cost of developing new products,
networks and solutions and the need to increase expenditures for improving the quality of service; prolonged adverse weather conditions resulting in a material increase in overtime, staff or other costs, or impact on customer
service; developments in the convergence of technologies; external threats to cyber security, data or resilience; political and geo-political risks; the anticipated benefits and advantages of new technologies, products and services not
being realised, including the proposed investment in our FTTP broadband network and 4G spectrum; the timing of entry and profitability of BT in certain markets; significant changes in market shares for BT and its principal products
and services; the underlying assumptions and estimates made in respect of major customer contracts proving unreliable; the anticipated benefits, synergies and cost savings of the transformation of our operating model and
integration and restructuring plans not being delivered; the improvements to the control environment following the investigations into BT’s Italian business not continuing to be operated successfully, effectively and timeously across
the Group; the anticipated benefits of the evolved strategy, transformation and restructuring not being realised; the BTPS recovery plan; and general financial market conditions affecting BT’s performance and ability to raise finance.
BT undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
