Analysis

Q1 2025 is the first filing to explicitly reference Lumen's 'use of artificial intelligence (AI)' as a corporate initiative alongside PCF. Total quarterly revenue was $3,182M. Current deferred revenue was $876M (vs $861M at Dec 2024), reflecting continued PCF deal activity. The 'Grow' category includes dark fiber and conduit, Edge Cloud, IP, managed security, SD-WAN, UC&C, and wavelengths. No specific AI revenue figure is disclosed, but the growing deferred revenue base and public statements about $5B+ PCF pipeline suggest increasing recognition of AI-driven fiber revenue. I estimate approximately $80M in Q1 2025 AI-attributable revenue from PCF custom builds and dark fiber for AI data centers. $80M / $3,182M = 2.5%.
