CENTURYTEL INC Files SEC form 10-Q, Quarterly Report
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") included herein should be read in conjunction with MD&A and the other information included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year. On July 1, 2009, we acquired Embarq Corporation ("Embarq") in a transaction that substantially expanded the size and scope of our business. The results of operations of Embarq are included in our consolidated results of operations beginning July 1, 2009. Due to the significant size of Embarq, direct comparisons of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 with prior periods are less meaningful. Where appropriate, the discussion below addresses trends we believe are significant, separate and apart from the impact of our acquisition of Embarq. Subsequent to the Embarq acquisition, we are now an integrated communications company primarily engaged in providing an array of communications services in 33 states, including local and long distance voice, data, wholesale, Internet access, broadband, and satellite video services. In certain local and regional markets, we also sell communications equipment and provide fiber transport, competitive local exchange carrier, security monitoring, and other communications, professional and business information services. We operate approximately 7.2 million access lines and serve approximately 2.2 million broadband customers, based on operating data as of September 30, 2009. For additional information on our revenue sources, see Note 9. For additional information on the merger, see Note 2.
