Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclsoure.

On January 28, 2015, CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (“CommScope”) issued a press release updating guidance for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2014 and providing preliminary guidance for its fiscal year 2015. A copy of the press release, which is incorporated by reference herein, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release furnished herewith uses the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted earnings per diluted share. CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings per diluted share, provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and may enhance investors’ ability to analyze financial and business trends. Non-GAAP measures, including adjusted earnings per diluted share, are not a substitute for GAAP measures and should be considered together with the GAAP financial measures. As calculated, adjusted earnings per diluted share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, CommScope management believes that adjusted earnings per diluted share allows investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period.

The foregoing information (including the exhibit hereto) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
