Exhibit 99.2 [LOGO OF PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jordan Darrow Vice President, Investor Relations PRIMUS Telecommunications Group (212) 703-0116 PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS REPORTS 15TH CONSECUTIVE QUARTER OF RECORD REVENUE AND GROSS MARGIN - - Data/Internet Revenues Rise 255% From Prior Year and 30% From Prior Quarter - - Positive EBITDA For 7th Consecutive Quarter - - Net Loss Significantly Reduced by Extraordinary Gain of $41 Million From Debt Repurchases - - Total Year Net Revenues Increase 44% Over 1999 McLean, Virginia -- February 8, 2001 -- PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (Nasdaq: PRTL), a global facilities-based Total Service Provider offering an integrated portfolio of data, Internet, e-commerce, applications hosting and voice services, today announced record revenue of $310 million and gross margin of $88 million in the fourth quarter of 2000. Revenue and gross margin have now reached record levels consecutively in each of the past fifteen quarters. Data/Internet services revenue also reached a record level of $42 million in the fourth quarter and now constitutes 13% of total revenue, an increase from 11% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2000. "The fourth quarter concluded a year of substantial accomplishments for our Company," commented K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PRIMUS. "Initially, with annual net revenues of $1.2 billion, 2000 represented our first year above the $1 billion mark - two years ahead of plan. At the beginning of 2000, we projected that we would generate $50 million of data/Internet revenues for the year. In fact, we generated $122 million of data/Internet revenues, dramatically exceeding our goal. I believe it particularly noteworthy that we were able to grow this business while keeping our percentage of SG&A (selling, general and administrative) essentially flat and generating positive EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)". "Also during the year we deployed our Global Application-Intelligent Network-TM- (GAIN), which combines the Company's global asynchronous transfer mode and Internet protocol (ATM+IP) and application hosting centers into a cohesive, globally enhanced delivery platform. With our global network and data centers now deployed, we will focus on selling our bundle of data, Internet, hosting, applications, security and voice services to our targeted small- and medium-sized enterprise customers. The PRIMUS GAIN is structured to provide customers access to the capabilities, solutions and services that can be engineered for their specific collaboration, content and commerce application requirements. The momentum created by our performance in 2000, complemented by our world-class infrastructure and expanding data sales force, has us launched towards our goal to become a $2.5 billion global IP company within five years. With fourth quarter results exceeding our expectations, we are comfortable entering 2001 with the annual guidance we provided last month. Revenue is projected to grow between 8-10% in 2001. The growth should gradually increase throughout the year after the first quarter's traditional seasonality. The revenue growth will be primarily fueled by a projected 90-100% growth in our data/Internet business, gross margins are projected to be in the range of 28-30%, and EBITDA in the range of $20 to $25 million." FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS PRIMUS's net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2000 grew to a record high of $310 million, compared to $266 million in the fourth quarter of 1999, an increase of 17%. "Geographically, our fourth quarter net revenue in Europe increased 34% on a year-over-year basis to $93 million, North America net revenue increased 12% to $143 million, and Asia-Pacific net revenue increased 8% to $74 million," stated Neil L. Hazard, PRIMUS' Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our data and Internet revenues continued their dramatic growth in the fourth quarter to $42 million, which represents an increase of 255% year over year and 30% sequentially from the third quarter." The geographic mix of revenue in the fourth quarter was 46% North America, 30% Europe and 24% Asia Pacific. "North America increased as a percentage of the mix due in large part to growth in revenue from web hosting/design and other data services," added Mr. Hazard. "Our record revenues for the fourth quarter were achieved despite the continued strength of the U.S. dollar, which reduces our foreign currency denominated revenues. The dollar strengthened considerably in the fourth quarter against all of our foreign currencies, even compared to the record high levels set in the third quarter. Revenue for the fourth quarter would have been approximately $319 million had the third quarter 2000 exchange rates been in effect this quarter, and would have been approximately $339 million had the fourth quarter 1999 exchange rates been in effect this quarter." "The mix of retail revenue for the fourth quarter of 2000 was 72.2% (31.6% business and 40.6% residential). Revenues from business customers increased over $2 million reflecting PRIMUS's strategic drive to target business customers. In actual dollar terms, residential revenue was flat from the third quarter representing the impact of pricing pressure and the Company's announced goal to de-emphasize certain low growth, sub-scale voice businesses. The Carrier segment's share of the revenue was 27.8% in the fourth quarter." Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2000 increased 20% year over year, reaching a record high of $88 million, compared with $73 million for the fourth quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net revenue, gross margin (which is computed after accounting for bad debt) for the fourth quarter of 2000 was 28.3%, up from 27.6% for the fourth quarter of 1999. The gross margin percentage remained essentially equal to the previous quarter primarily as a result of declining prices for voice services, offset by an increase in higher margin data services revenue.

SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2000 were $85 million, or 27.3% of net revenue, compared with $67 million, or 25.3% of net revenue, for the fourth quarter of 1999, and $83 million or 27.6% in the third quarter of 2000. The SG&A increase from the prior year reflects the impact of additional spending to grow our data and Internet business, particularly technical sales and engineering personnel staffing to ramp up the Company's managed hosting and applications services, as well as the impact of SME and Internet acquisitions. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2000 was $3.0 million, the Company's 7th consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA, compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1999 and $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2000. An extraordinary gain of $41 million was realized in the fourth quarter as a result of the early extinguishment of $60 million of debt securities purchased in the open market in December 2000. Reflecting this extraordinary gain, the net loss for the fourth quarter of 2000 was $(24.2) million, or $(0.60) per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(33.2) million, or $(0.93) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 1999. The weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding this quarter was 40.5 million compared to 35.7 million for the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company purchased additional debt securities in January 2001 and converted a portion of its 5 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures to equity which will result in additional extraordinary gains in the first quarter 2001. FULL YEAR 2000 FINANCIAL RESULTS Net revenue for the year 2000 was a record $1.2 billion, compared with $833 million for the year 1999, or an increase of 44%. Gross margin also reached a record high of $338 million for 2000, compared with $208 million for 1999, an increase of 63%. As a percentage of net revenue, gross margin for 2000 was 28.2%, up from 25.0% for 1999. SG&A expenses were $330 million for the year 2000, as compared to $200 million for 1999 reflecting acquired operations and growth in personnel and selling expenses for the data and Internet business. The year 2000 marked the Company's second consecutive year of positive EBITDA at $7.8 million, compared with EBITDA of $8.6 million in 1999. FUNDING STATUS Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2000 were approximately $42 million for continued network expansion, including fiber optic cable capacity, data center servers, network equipment, and back office systems. For the year 2000, the Company's capital expenditures were $194 million. PRIMUS's total investment in gross property, plant and equipment reached approximately $580 million at the end of December 2000. The Company also spent approximately $19 million cash during the fourth quarter to repurchase debt securities. The annual cash interest savings from the repurchased securities is $7 million.

PRIMUS held cash and investments of $399 million at the end of December. "We believe that our year end level of liquidity, supplemented by the recently secured $85 million of vendor financing announced in December, should fund our business plan through the second quarter of 2002," stated Mr. Hazard. "We continue to plan capital spending at an average of $50 million per quarter during 2001 (even though actual quarter to quarter amounts may vary) for construction of our worldwide data network and data hosting centers. We are mindful of current capital market conditions and may alter this plan in the future. We continue to believe that additional vendor financing, investments from strategic partners, bank lines of credit, and private equity investments are potential sources of additional funding for the Company." The Company and/or its subsidiaries will evaluate on a continuing basis the most efficient use of the Company's capital, including investment in the Company's network and systems, lines of business, potential acquisitions, and, depending upon market conditions, purchasing, refinancing or otherwise retiring certain of the Company's outstanding debt and/or equity securities in the open market or by other means to the extent permitted by its existing covenant restrictions. * * * PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED (NASDAQ: PRTL) IS A GLOBAL FACILITIES-BASED TOTAL SERVICE PROVIDER OFFERING BUNDLED DATA, INTERNET, DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE (DSL), E-COMMERCE, WEB HOSTING, ENHANCED APPLICATION, VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN), VOICE AND OTHER VALUE-ADDED SERVICES.
