Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this presentation, including those related to expected revenues and net income, gross margins, operating expenses,

income taxes, the general outlook for 2016 and beyond, the impacts of the Pace integration, acceptance of certain ARRIS products, the

impact of proposed regulatory changes and industry trends, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and

uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in these statements. Among other things, projected

results are based on preliminary estimates, assumptions and projections that management believes to be reasonable at this time, but

are largely beyond management’s control; ARRIS may fail to realize the expected benefits of the Pace acquisition and may incur

significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities; the strong U.S. Dollar may adversely impact our international customer’s ability

or willingness to purchase products and the pricing of our products; regulatory changes, including changes in tax laws, could negatively

affect our business and/or results from operations; ARRIS is dependent upon customer decisions to purchase the Company’s products -

these decisions can be deferred and customers also may select competitor products; and because the market in which ARRIS operates

is volatile and actions taken and contemplated may not achieve the desired impact. Other factors that could cause results to differ

materially from current expectations include: the uncertain current global economic climate and financial markets, and their impact on

our customers’ plans and access to capital; the impact of rapidly changing technologies; the impact of competition on product

development and pricing; the ability of ARRIS to react to changes in general industry and market conditions; rights to intellectual

property and the current trend toward increasing patent litigation, market trends and the adoption of industry standards; possible

acquisitions and dispositions; the impact of pending M&A transactions within both the customer and supplier base, including the

proposed acquisition of Time Warner by Charter, the proposed acquisition by Frontier Communications of several properties owned by

Verizon, and the proposed acquisition of Cablevision by Altice. These factors are not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks

and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business. Additional information regarding these and other factors can be found in

ARRIS’ reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period

ended December 31, 2015. In providing forward-looking statements, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update publicly

or otherwise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
