Exhibit 99.3

| Feb. 20, 2025 Windstream demonstrated solid financial and operational performance in 2024. We embraced and instilled quality into every element of our operations, and we executed on our key priorities. We ended 2024 with a strong balance sheet, aided by key refinancing transactions completed during the year, and through the announced merger with Uniti, we enhanced our strategic profile for the future. We extended our fiber coverage to an additional 167,000 consumer premises during the year, bringing our total to over 1.6 million consumer premises passed or 37% of our Kinetic footprint. We now have nearly 450,000 consumer subscribers on our fiber network, representing a 27% penetration rate of our next-generation services offered. Meanwhile, strategic revenues within our Enterprise and Wholesale businesses had a solid performance. Within Enterprise, we continue to focus on our Strategic and Advanced IP product portfolio, which now represents over 90% of Enterprise revenues. Wholesale continues to demonstrate its market leadership in innovation and remains focused on expansion of our network and partnerships. When reflecting on last year, I find myself proudly recounting our many accomplishments, particularly our dedication to quality that led to an improved customer experience. This commitment allows us to deliver services that resonate deeply with customers and to deliver on our 2025 priorities. We are forging ahead with fiber in 2025. We will continue to extend our reach by expanding, and accelerating, our fiber build plan to meet the growing demands in our residential, business, and wholesale markets. In addition, we will continue our commitment to quality and operational excellence, with the aim to capture greater market share and meet the evolving needs of our customers. Simply put, we want to be the trusted provider of communication services, the go-to company for the most reliable and responsive network, and the first choice for quality and service.
