Lumen Technologies Inc Q1 2021 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Nicholas Ralph Del Deo - MoffettNathanson LLC - Analyst : First, are you confident that you can accelerate revenue growth without having to back pedal on the profitability and return metrics that you've enforced for the business since the deal closed? Has the market moved at all such that those metrics may need to be adjusted? Or is that not something you're saying?

I think sales force, customer service, new products, those should have all helped the revenue trajectory.

And what do you think the primary variances have been attributable to? REFINITIV STREETEVENTS | www.refinitiv.com | Contact Us consent of Refinitiv.
