ALLTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO RECONCILIATIONS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS UNDER GAAP TO
 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FROM CURRENT BUSINESSES (NON-GAAP)-Page 8

As disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on July 24, 2003,
ALLTEL has presented in this earnings release results of operations
from current businesses which exclude the following items: the effects
of discontinued operations, early termination of debt, integration
expenses and other charges, gain on disposal of assets, write-down of
investments and receivables and the net financing costs related to
prefunding the Company's 2002 acquisitions of wireless properties from
CenturyTel, Inc. ("CenturyTel") and wireline properties in Kentucky
from Verizon Communications, Inc. ("Verizon"). ALLTEL's purpose for
excluding items from the current business measures is to focus on
ALLTEL's true earnings capacity associated with providing
telecommunications services. Management believes the items excluded
from the current business measures are related to strategic activities
or other events, specific to the time and opportunity available, and,
accordingly, should be excluded when evaluating the trends of the
Company's operations.

ALLTEL believes that presenting the current business measures
assists investors in assessing the true business performance of the
Company by clarifying for investors the effects that certain items
such as asset sales, restructuring expenses and other business
consolidation costs arising from past acquisition and restructuring
activities had on the Company's GAAP consolidated results of
operations. The Company uses results from current businesses as
management's primary measure of the performance of its business
segments. ALLTEL management, including the chief operating
decision-maker, uses the current business measures consistently for
all purposes, including internal reporting purposes, the evaluation of
business objectives, opportunities and performance and the
determination of management compensation.

As the Company evaluates segment performance based on segment
income, which is computed as revenues and sales less operating
expenses, the integration expenses and other charges and write-down of
investments have not been allocated to the business segments. In
addition, none of the non-operating items such as equity earnings in
unconsolidated partnerships, minority interest expense, other income,
net, interest expense and income taxes have been allocated to the
segments.

(A) These charges include severance and employee benefit costs of
$8.5 million related to a planned workforce reduction, primarily
resulting from the closing of certain call center locations. The
Company also recorded a $2.7 million reduction in the liabilities
associated with various restructuring activities initiated prior to
2003, primarily resulting from differences between estimated and
actual severance costs paid in completing the previous planned
workforce reductions. ALLTEL also wrote off $13.2 million of certain
capitalized software development costs that had no alternative future
use or functionality.

(B) ALLTEL recorded pretax write-downs totaling $6.0 million to
reflect other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of certain
investments in unconsolidated limited partnerships. In addition, the
Company retired, prior to its stated maturity dates, $249.1 million of
long-term debt, representing all of the long-term debt outstanding
under the Rural Utilities Services, Rural Telephone Bank and Federal
Financing Bank programs. In connection with the early retirement of
the debt, the Company incurred pretax termination fees of
$7.1 million.

(C) Represents additional bad debt expense recorded by the Company
due to the bankruptcy filing of an interexchange carrier. Of the
total, $3.1 million of the write-down related to the wireless segment
and $10.9 million related to the wireline segment.

(D) These charges represent costs incurred by the Company related
to its acquisitions completed on August 1, 2002 of wireless properties
from CenturyTel and wireline properties in Kentucky from Verizon.
These expenses included internal payroll and employee benefit costs,
contracted services, branding and other computer programming costs
incurred in connection with expanding ALLTEL's customer service and
operations support functions to handle increased customer volumes
resulting from the acquisitions and to convert Verizon's customer
billing and operations support systems to ALLTEL's internal systems.

(E) Represents additional interest income earned due to investing
proceeds received from ALLTEL's equity unit and long-term debt
offerings. These security offerings were issued to prefund the
Company's 2002 acquisitions of wireless properties from CenturyTel and
wireline properties in Kentucky from Verizon discussed in Note D.


ALLTEL CORPORATION
NOTES TO RECONCILIATIONS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS UNDER GAAP TO
 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FROM CURRENT BUSINESSES (NON-GAAP)-Page 9

(F) Represents additional interest expense incurred due to the
issuance of ALLTEL's equity unit and long-term debt offerings to
prefund the Company's 2002 wireless and wireline acquisitions
discussed in Note D.

(G) Represents the write-down to reflect the other-than-temporary
declines in the fair value of two equity investments.

(H) Eliminates the effects of discontinued operations, including
the gain realized upon the sale of such operations. On April 1, 2003,
ALLTEL completed the sale of the financial services division of its
information services subsidy, ALLTEL Information Services, Inc., to
Fidelity National Financial Inc. ("Fidelity National"), for $1.05
billion, payable in the form of $775.0 million in cash and $275.0
million in Fidelity National common stock. As part of this
transaction, Fidelity National acquired ALLTEL's mortgage servicing,
retail and wholesale banking and commercial lending operations, as
well as the community/regional bank division.

(I) These charges included $32.4 million incurred by the Company
in connection with the restructuring of the Company's competitive
local exchange carrier ("CLEC") and retail store operations. The
restructuring charges included severance and employee benefit costs of
$13.4 million related to a planned workforce reduction, $12.4 million
of costs associated with terminating certain CLEC transport agreements
and lease termination fees incurred with the closing of certain retail
and call center locations. In exiting the CLEC operations, the Company
also incurred $2.2 million of costs to disconnect and remove switching
and other transmission equipment from central office facilities and
expenses to notify and migrate customers to other service providers.
ALLTEL also wrote off $4.4 million of certain capitalized software
development costs that had no alternative future use or functionality.
The Company also recorded a $7.1 million write-down in the carrying
value of cell site equipment, and incurred $3.4 million of expenses
related to ALLTEL's acquisition completed on August 1, 2002 of
wireline properties from Verizon in Kentucky, as discussed in Note D
above.

(J) Tax related effects of the items discussed in Notes A - I
above.

(K) Represents the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
resulting from the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations". In accordance with federal and state
regulations, depreciation expense for ALLTEL's wireline operations
historically included an additional provision for cost of removal. For
ALLTEL's wireline operations in Kentucky and Nebraska not subject to
SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of
Regulation", effective with the adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company
ceased recognition of the cost of removal provision in depreciation
expense and eliminated the cumulative cost of removal included in
accumulated depreciation because it did not meet the recognition and
measurement principles of an asset retirement obligation under SFAS
No. 143. As a result of a Federal Communications Commission ruling,
ALLTEL will continue to record a regulatory liability for cost of
removal for its wireline subsidiaries that follow the accounting
prescribed by SFAS No. 71.
