Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 28% and 31%, respectively, this quarter, driven by revenue growth in our Cable and Wireless businesses.

Wireless service revenue increased by 9% this quarter, primarily as a result of the cumulative impact of growth in our mobile phone subscriber base and revenue from Shaw Mobile subscribers acquired through the Shaw Transaction. Wireless equipment revenue increased by 4%, primarily as a result of a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices.

Cable service revenue increased by 94% this quarter as a result of the Shaw Transaction.

Media revenue decreased by 5% this quarter primarily as a result of lower subscriber revenue, including due to a negotiation of certain content rates last year, and lower Today's Shopping Choice revenue, partially offset by higher advertising revenue.

Rogers Communications Inc.	2	First Quarter 2024

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 34% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 210 basis points, as a result of improving synergies and efficiencies.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 9%, primarily due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue as discussed above. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 64.3%.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 97% due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue as discussed above and the achievement of cost synergies associated with integration activities. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 56.2%.

Media adjusted EBITDA decreased by $65 million, or 171%, this quarter primarily due to lower revenue as discussed above, higher programming and production costs as a result of the timing of broadcasts, and higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including player payroll, as a result of the timing of games played.

Net income and adjusted net income

Net income decreased by 50% and adjusted net income decreased by 2% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher depreciation and amortization associated with assets acquired through the Shaw Transaction and higher finance costs, partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA. Net income was also impacted by higher restructuring, acquisition and other costs.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,180 million (2023 - $453 million); the increase is primarily a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest paid. We also generated free cash flow1 of $586 million (2023 - $370 million), up 58% as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest on long-term debt and higher capital expenditures.

As at March 31, 2024, we had $4.6 billion of available liquidity1 (December 31, 2023 - $5.9 billion), consisting of $0.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $3.8 billion available under our bank credit and other facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio1 as at March 31, 2024 was 4.7 (December 31, 2023 - 5.0, or 4.7 on an as adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and Shaw as if the Shaw Transaction had closed on January 1, 2023). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $265 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on April 23, 2024.

1 Free cash flow, available liquidity, and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures. Pro forma debt leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about these measures. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Financial Condition" for a reconciliation of available liquidity.

1 Subscriber counts and subscriber churn are key performance indicators. See "Key Performance Indicators".

2 Effective January 1, 2024, and on a prospective basis, we adjusted our postpaid mobile phone subscriber base to remove 110,000 Cityfone subscribers as we stopped selling new plans for this service as of that date. Given this, we believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our postpaid mobile phone business.

3 As at end of period.

4 Effective January 1, 2024, and on a prospective basis we adjusted our prepaid mobile phone subscriber base to remove 56,000 Fido prepaid subscribers as we stopped selling new plans for this service as of that date. Given this, we believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our prepaid mobile phone business.

5 Mobile phone ARPU is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for an explanation as to the composition of this measure.

Service revenue

The 9% increase in service revenue this quarter was primarily a result of:

•the cumulative impact of growth in our mobile phone subscriber base over the past year; and

•the impact of the Shaw Mobile subscribers acquired through the Shaw Transaction in April 2023.

The increase in mobile phone ARPU this quarter was primarily associated with the changes in subscribers.

The continued significant postpaid gross and net additions this quarter were a result of sales execution in a growing Canadian market.

Rogers Communications Inc.	5	First Quarter 2024

Equipment revenue

The 4% increase in equipment revenue this quarter was primarily as a result of:

•an increase in new subscribers purchasing devices; and

•a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; partially offset by

•lower device upgrades by existing customers.

Operating costs

Cost of equipment

The 6% increase in the cost of equipment this quarter was a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs

The 7% increase in other operating costs this quarter was primarily a result of:

•higher costs associated with the increased revenue and subscriber additions including commissions and costs associated with our expanded network; and

•investments made in customer service.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 9% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

3 ARPA is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for an explanation as to the composition of this measure.

Service revenue

The 94% increase in service revenue this quarter was a result of:

•revenue related to our acquisition of Shaw, which contributed approximately $1 billion for the quarter; partially offset by

•continued increased competitive promotional activity; and

•declines in our Home Phone, Smart Home Monitoring, and Satellite subscriber bases.

The higher ARPA this quarter was primarily a result of the acquisition of Shaw.

Rogers Communications Inc.	7	First Quarter 2024

Capital expenditures 1	1,058		892		19
Capital intensity 2	21.6	%	23.3	%	(1.7	pts)

1 Includes additions to property, plant and equipment net of proceeds on disposition, but does not include expenditures for spectrum licences, additions to right-of-use assets, or assets acquired through business combinations.

2 Capital intensity is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for an explanation as to the composition of this measure.

One of our objectives is to build the biggest and best networks in the country. As we continually work towards this, we once again plan to spend more on our wireless and wireline networks this year than we have in the past several years. We continue to roll out our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at March 31, 2024) across the country, as we work toward our commitment to expand coverage across Western Canada. We also continue to invest in fibre deployments, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), in our cable network and we are expanding our network footprint to reach more homes and businesses, including in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities.

These investments will strengthen network resilience and stability and will help us bridge the digital divide by expanding our network further into rural and underserved areas through participation in various programs and projects.

Wireless

The decrease in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter was due to the timing of investments. We continue to make investments in our network development and 5G deployment to expand our wireless network. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum continues to augment the capacity and resilience of our earlier 5G deployments in the 600 MHz spectrum band.

Cable

The increase in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter reflects our acquisition of Shaw and continued investments in our infrastructure, including additional fibre deployments to increase our FTTH distribution. These investments incorporate the latest technologies to help deliver more bandwidth and an enhanced customer experience as we progress in our connected home roadmap, including service footprint expansion and upgrades to our DOCSIS 3.1 platform to evolve to DOCSIS 4.0, offering increased network resilience, stability, and faster download speeds over time.

Media

The increase in capital expenditures in Media this quarter was primarily a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure-related expenditures associated with the second phase of the Rogers Centre modernization project.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity decreased in the quarter as the increase in capital expenditure investments, as noted above, was partially offset by higher revenue.

Interest on borrowings, net

The 106% increase in net interest on borrowings this quarter was primarily a result of:

•a reduction in interest earned on restricted cash and cash equivalents, as we used these funds to partially fund the Shaw Transaction on April 3, 2023;

•interest expense associated with senior notes issued in September 2023 and February 2024;

•interest expense associated with the borrowings under the term loan facility used to partially fund the Shaw Transaction; and

•interest expense associated with the long-term debt assumed through the Shaw Transaction; partially offset by

•the repayment at maturity of senior notes in March 2023, October 2023, November 2023, January 2024, and March 2024 at different underlying interest rates.

Basic earnings per share	$0.48	$1.01	(52)

Adjusted net income

We calculate adjusted net income from adjusted EBITDA as follows:

	Three months ended March 31
(In millions of dollars, except per share amounts)	2024	2023	% Chg
Adjusted EBITDA	2,214	1,651	34
Deduct:

Adjusted net income 1	540	553	(2)
Adjusted basic earnings per share	$1.02	$1.10	(7)
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$0.99	$1.09	(9)

1 Our calculation of adjusted net income excludes depreciation and amortization on the fair value increment recognized on acquisition of Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. For purposes of calculating adjusted net income, we believe the magnitude of this depreciation and amortization, which is significantly affected by the size of the Shaw Transaction, affects comparability between periods and the additional expense recognized may have no correlation to our current and ongoing operating results. Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation and amortization on Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $242 million (2023 - nil). Adjusted net income includes depreciation and amortization on the acquired Shaw property, plant and equipment and intangible assets based on Shaw's historical cost and depreciation policies.

2 Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $100 million (2023 - recoveries of $13 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

Operating activities

This quarter, cash from operating activities increased primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA and a lower net investment in net operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by higher interest paid.

Investing activities

Capital expenditures

During the quarter we incurred $1,058 million on capital expenditures before changes in non-cash working capital items. See "Capital Expenditures" for more information.

Acquisitions and other strategic transactions

This quarter, we paid the first installment of $95 million related to the acquisition of 3800 MHz spectrum licences.

Financing activities

During the quarter we received net amounts of $152 million (2023 - received $917 million) on our short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and related derivatives. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information on the cash flows relating to our derivative instruments.

Short-term borrowings

Our short-term borrowings consist of amounts outstanding under our receivables securitization program, our US dollar-denominated commercial paper (US CP) program, and our non-revolving credit facilities. Below is a summary of our short-term borrowings as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

All values are in US Dollars.

1 Borrowings under our non-revolving facility mature and are reissued regularly, such that until repaid, we maintain net outstanding borrowings equivalent to the then-current credit limit on the reissue dates.

Concurrent with our US CP issuances and US dollar-denominated borrowings under our credit facilities, we entered into debt derivatives to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with the principal and interest components of the borrowings. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information.

In March 2024, we borrowed US$185 million under our non-revolving facility maturing in March 2025. In April 2024, we borrowed an additional US$184 million under the facility. As a result, we have fully drawn on the facility.

Issuance of senior notes and related debt derivatives

Below is a summary of the senior notes we issued during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We did not issue any senior notes during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

1 Gross proceeds before transaction costs, discounts, and premiums.

2 Transaction costs, discounts, and premiums are included as deferred transaction costs and discounts in the carrying value of the long-term debt, and recognized in net income using the effective interest method.

In February 2024, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$2.5 billion, consisting of US$1.25 billion of 5.00% senior notes due 2029 and US$1.25 billion of 5.30% senior notes due 2034. Concurrent with the issuance, we entered into debt derivatives to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. As a result, we received net proceeds of US$2.46 billion ($3.32 billion). We used the proceeds

Rogers Communications Inc.	16	First Quarter 2024

from this issuance to repay $3.4 billion of our term loan facility such that only $1 billion remains outstanding under the April 2026 tranche.

Repayment of senior notes and related derivative settlements

In January 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $500 million 4.35% senior notes at maturity. In March 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $600 million 4.0% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

Dividends

Below is a summary of the dividends declared and paid on RCI's outstanding Class A Voting common shares (Class A Shares) and Class B Non-Voting common shares (Class B Non-Voting Shares) in 2024 and 2023. On April 23, 2024, the Board declared a dividend of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share to be paid on July 5, 2024 to shareholders of record on June 10, 2024.

Our Canada Infrastructure Bank credit agreement is not included in available liquidity as it can only be drawn upon for use in broadband projects under the Universal Broadband Fund, and therefore is not available for other general purposes.

Weighted average cost of borrowings

Our weighted average cost of all borrowings was 4.76% as at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - 4.85%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 10.5 years (December 31, 2023 - 10.4 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on the five-year anniversary.

Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio

We use adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio to conduct valuation-related analysis and to make capital structure-related decisions.

Divided by: pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA 2	n/a	9,095
Pro forma debt leverage ratio	n/a	4.7

1 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we believe adjusting 50% of the value of our subordinated notes is appropriate as this methodology factors in certain circumstances with respect to priority for payment and this approach is commonly used to evaluate debt leverage by rating agencies.

2 Adjusted net debt is a capital management measure. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about these measures.

In order to meet our stated objective of returning our debt leverage ratio to approximately 3.5 within 36 months of closing the Shaw Transaction, we intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, and debt repayment, as applicable.

Credit ratings

Below is a summary of the credit ratings on RCI's outstanding senior and subordinated notes and debentures (long-term) and US CP (short-term) as at March 31, 2024.

Issuance	S&P Global Ratings Services	Moody's	Fitch	DBRS Morningstar
Corporate credit issuer default rating	BBB- (stable)	Baa3 (stable)	BBB- (stable)	BBB (low) (stable)

Subordinated debt	BB (stable)	Ba2 (stable)	BB (stable)	N/A 1

1 We have not sought a rating from Fitch or DBRS Morningstar for our short-term obligations or from DBRS Morningstar for our subordinated debt.

In February 2024, S&P improved their outlook for our corporate credit issuer default rating and our senior unsecured debt rating to stable from negative. At the same time, S&P also improved their outlook for our subordinated debt rating to stable from negative.

1 Holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend shareholder meetings; however, they are not entitled to vote at these meetings except as required by law or stipulated by stock exchanges. If an offer is made to purchase outstanding Class A Shares, there is no requirement under applicable law or our constating documents that an offer be made for the outstanding Class B Non-Voting Shares, and there is no other protection available to shareholders under our constating documents. If an offer is made to purchase both classes of shares, the offer for the Class A Shares may be made on different terms than the offer to the holders of Class B Non-Voting Shares.

On January 2, 2024, we issued 1.2 million Class B Non-Voting Shares as partial settlement of the dividend payable on that date under the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP). On April 3, 2024, we issued 1.6 million Class B Non-Voting Shares as partial settlement of the dividend payable on that date under the terms of our DRIP.

Financial Risk Management

This section should be read in conjunction with "Financial Risk Management" in our 2023 Annual MD&A. We use derivative instruments to manage financial risks related to our business activities. We only use derivatives to manage risk and not for speculative purposes. We also manage our exposure to both fixed and fluctuating interest rates and had fixed the interest rate on 90.5% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - 85.6%).

Debt derivatives

We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and foreign currency forward contracts (collectively, debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings. We typically designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk associated with specific issued and forecast debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Credit facilities and US CP

Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

We use foreign currency forward contracts (expenditure derivatives) to manage the foreign exchange risk in our operations, designating them as hedges for accounting purposes for certain of our forecast operational and capital expenditures.

Below is a summary of the expenditure derivatives we entered into and settled during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Expenditure derivatives settled	285	1.326	378	225	1.244	280

As at March 31, 2024, we had US$1,455 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2023 - US$1,650 million) with terms to maturity ranging from April 2024 to December 2025 (December 31, 2023 - January 2024 to December 2025) at an average rate of $1.324/US$ (December 31, 2023 - $1.325/US$).

See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our expenditure derivatives.

Equity derivatives

We use total return swaps (equity derivatives) to hedge the market price change risk of the Class B Non-Voting Shares granted under our stock-based compensation programs. The equity derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

As at March 31, 2024, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 6.0 million (December 31, 2023 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $54.02 (December 31, 2023 - $54.02).

In April 2024, we executed extension agreements for our equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2025 (from April 2024) and the weighted average cost was adjusted to $53.27 per share.

See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our equity derivatives.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

See our 2023 Annual MD&A for a summary of our obligations under firm contractual arrangements, including commitments for future payments under long-term debt arrangements and lease arrangements as at December 31, 2023. These are also discussed in notes 4, 19, and 30 of our 2023 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

This quarter, we extended an agreement with a Cable service provider, resulting in an increase in our contractual commitments of approximately $1.8 billion over the next ten years compared to our disclosure as at December 31, 2023. We also paid $95 million this quarter relating to the 3800 MHz spectrum licences won at auction in late 2023. We expect to make the final payment of $380 million on May 29, 2024.

Except for the above and as otherwise disclosed in this MD&A, as at March 31, 2024, there have been no other material changes to our material contractual obligations, as identified in our 2023 Annual MD&A, since December 31, 2023.

Regulatory Developments

See "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2023 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the significant regulations that affected our operations as at March 5, 2024. There have been no significant regulatory developments since that date.

Updates to Risks and Uncertainties

See "Risk Management" and "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2023 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results as at March 5, 2024, which should be reviewed in conjunction with this MD&A. There are no updates to those risks and uncertainties.

Material Accounting Policies and Estimates

See our 2023 Annual MD&A and our 2023 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for a discussion of the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our business operations and the results of our operations.

New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2024

We adopted the following accounting amendments that were effective for our interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2024. The adoption of these standards have not had a material impact on our financial results.

•Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, clarifying the classification requirements in the standard for liabilities as current or non-current.

•Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, clarifying subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions for seller-lessees.

•Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, modifying the 2020 amendments to IAS 1 to further clarify the classification, presentation, and disclosure requirements in the standard for non-current liabilities with covenants.

•Amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Supplier Finance Arrangements, adding disclosure requirements that require entities to provide qualitative and quantitative information about supplier finance arrangements.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The IASB has issued the following new standard and amendments to an existing standard that will become effective on January 1, 2027:

•IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (replacing IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements), with an aim to improve how information is communicated in the financial statements, with a focus on information in the statement of income.

We are assessing the impacts IFRS 18 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Transactions with related parties

We have entered into business transactions with Dream Unlimited Corp. (Dream), which is controlled by our Director Michael J. Cooper. Dream is a real estate company that rents spaces in office and residential buildings. Total amounts paid to this related party were nominal for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

We have also entered into certain transactions with our controlling shareholder and companies it controls. These transactions are subject to formal agreements approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. Total amounts paid to these related parties generally reflect the charges to Rogers for occasional business use of aircraft, net of other administrative services, and were less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

On closing of the Shaw Transaction, we entered into an advisory agreement with Brad Shaw in accordance with the arrangement agreement, pursuant to which he will be paid $20 million for a two-year period following closing in exchange for performing certain services related to the transition and integration of Shaw, of which $3 million was recognized in net income and paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We have also entered into certain other transactions with the Shaw Family Group. Total amounts paid to the Shaw Family Group during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were under $1 million.

In addition, we assumed a liability through the Shaw Transaction related to a legacy pension arrangement with one of our directors whereby the director will be paid $1 million per month until March 2035, $3 million of which was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The remaining liability of $96 million is included in "accounts payable and accrued liabilities" (for the amount to be paid within the next twelve months) or "other long-term liabilities".

We recognized these transactions at the amounts agreed to by the related parties, which were also approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The amounts owing for these services were unsecured, interest-free, and generally due for payment in cash within one month of the date of the transaction.

Controls and procedures

In accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have limited the scope of their design of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies, and procedures of Shaw, which we acquired on April 3, 2023. In our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the acquired Shaw business contributed approximately $1.0 billion of consolidated revenue and net income of approximately $35 million. Additionally, as at March 31, 2024, the current assets and current liabilities of the acquired Shaw operations represented approximately 10% and 10% of consolidated current assets and current liabilities, respectively, and the non-current assets and non-current liabilities of the acquired Shaw operations represented approximately 20% and 15% of consolidated non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively. The design of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of the acquired Shaw operations will be completed for the second quarter of 2024.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting this quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Seasonality

Our operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of our reportable segments. This means our results in one quarter are not necessarily indicative of how we will perform in a future quarter. Wireless, Cable, and Media each have unique seasonal aspects to, and certain other historical trends in, their businesses. For specific discussions of the seasonal trends affecting our reportable segments, refer to our 2023 Annual MD&A.

Rogers Communications Inc.	26	First Quarter 2024

Key Performance Indicators

We measure the success of our strategy using a number of key performance indicators that are defined and discussed in our 2023 Annual MD&A and this MD&A. We believe these key performance indicators allow us to appropriately measure our performance against our operating strategy and against the results of our peers and competitors. The following key performance indicators, some of which are supplementary financial measures (see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures"), are not measurements in accordance with IFRS. They include:

•subscriber counts;

•Wireless;

•Cable; and

•homes passed (Cable);

•Wireless subscriber churn (churn);

•Wireless mobile phone average revenue per user (ARPU);

•Cable average revenue per account (ARPA);

•Cable customer relationships;

•Cable market penetration (penetration);

•capital intensity; and

•total service revenue.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

We use the following "non-GAAP financial measures" and other "specified financial measures" (each within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law). These are reviewed regularly by management and the Board in assessing our performance and making decisions regarding the ongoing operations of our business and its ability to generate cash flows. Some or all of these measures may also be used by investors, lending institutions, and credit rating agencies as indicators of our operating performance, of our ability to incur and service debt, and as measurements to value companies in the telecommunications sector. These are not standardized measures under IFRS, so may not be reliable ways to compare us to other companies.

Rogers Communications Inc.	6	First Quarter 2024

NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Rogers Communications Inc. is a diversified Canadian communications and media company. Substantially all of our operations and sales are in Canada. RCI is incorporated in Canada and its registered office is located at 333 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4W 1G9. RCI's shares are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: RCI.A and RCI.B) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RCI).

We report our results of operations in three reportable segments. Each segment and the nature of its business is as follows:

Segment	Principal activities
Wireless	Wireless telecommunications operations for Canadian consumers and businesses.
Cable	Cable telecommunications operations, including Internet, television and other video (Video), Satellite, telephony (Home Phone), and smart home monitoring services for Canadian consumers and businesses, and network connectivity through our fibre network and data centre assets to support a range of voice, data, networking, hosting, and cloud-based services for the business, public sector, and carrier wholesale markets.
Media	A diversified portfolio of media properties, including sports media and entertainment, television and radio broadcasting, specialty channels, multi-platform shopping, and digital media.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Wireless and Cable were operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries. Media was operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Media Inc., and its subsidiaries.

Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. These typical fluctuations are described in note 1 to our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2023 financial statements).

Statement of Compliance

We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (first quarter 2024 interim financial statements) in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), following the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in our 2023 financial statements with the exception of new accounting policies that were adopted on January 1, 2024 as described in note 2. These first quarter 2024 interim financial statements were approved by RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on April 23, 2024.

NOTE 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The notes presented in these first quarter 2024 interim financial statements include only material transactions and changes occurring for the three months since our year-end of December 31, 2023 and do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB for annual financial statements. These first quarter 2024 interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2023 financial statements.

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2024

•Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, clarifying subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions for seller-lessees.

Rogers Communications Inc.	7	First Quarter 2024

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The IASB has issued the following new standard and amendments to an existing standard that will become effective on January 1, 2027:

We are assessing the impacts IFRS 18 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Key Metrics and Ratios

We monitor adjusted net debt, debt leverage ratio, free cash flow, and available liquidity to manage our capital structure and related risks. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar capital management measures disclosed by other companies. A summary of our key metrics and ratios follows, along with a reconciliation between each of these measures and the items presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio

We monitor adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio as part of the management of liquidity to sustain future development of our business, conduct valuation-related analyses, and make decisions about capital. In so doing, we typically aim to have an adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio that allow us to maintain investment-grade credit ratings, which allows us the associated access to capital markets. Our debt leverage ratio can increase due to strategic, long-term investments (for example, to obtain new spectrum licences or to consummate an acquisition) and we work to lower the ratio over time. As a result of the acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw, and the Shaw Transaction) on April 3, 2023, our adjusted net debt increased due to the drawings on our $6 billion term loan facility, the debt assumed from Shaw, and the use of restricted cash, and our debt leverage ratio increased correspondingly. In order to meet our stated objective of returning our debt leverage ratio to approximately 3.5 within 36 months of closing the Shaw Transaction, we intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales, and debt repayment, as applicable. As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we met our objectives for these metrics.

	As at<br>March 31	As at<br>December 31
(In millions of dollars, except ratios)	2024	2023
Adjusted net debt 1	43,432	43,134
Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA	9,144	8,581
Debt leverage ratio	4.7	5.0

1 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt, we believe adjusting 50% of the value of our subordinated notes is appropriate as this methodology factors in certain circumstances with respect to priority for payment and this approach is commonly used to evaluate debt leverage by rating

Rogers Communications Inc.	8	First Quarter 2024

Free cash flow

We use free cash flow to understand how much cash we generate that is available to repay debt or reinvest in our business, which is an important indicator of our financial strength and performance.

Other adjustments 1		(10)	(16)
Free cash flow		586	370

1 Other adjustments consists of post-employment benefit contributions, net of expense, cash flows relating to other operating activities, and other investment income from our financial statements.

Available liquidity

Available liquidity fluctuates based on business circumstances. We continually manage, and aim to have sufficient, available liquidity at all times to help protect our ability to meet all of our commitments (operationally and for maturing debt obligations), to execute our business plan (including to acquire spectrum licences or consummate acquisitions), to mitigate the risk of economic downturns, and for other unforeseen circumstances. As at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had sufficient liquidity available to us to meet this objective.

Below is a summary of our total available liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents, bank credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and short-term borrowings, including our receivables securitization program and our US dollar-denominated commercial paper (US CP) program.

NOTE 4: SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Our reportable segments are Wireless, Cable, and Media. All three segments operate substantially in Canada. Corporate items and eliminations include our interests in businesses that are not reportable operating segments, corporate administrative functions, and eliminations of inter-segment revenues and costs. We follow the same accounting policies for our segments as those described in note 2 of our 2023 financial statements. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. We account for transactions between reportable segments in the same way we account for transactions with external parties, however eliminate them on consolidation.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of RCI are, collectively, our chief operating decision maker and regularly review our operations and performance by segment. They review adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of profit for the purpose of assessing performance of each segment and to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before depreciation and amortization; (gain) loss on disposition of property, plant and equipment; restructuring, acquisition and other; finance costs; other (income) expense; and income tax expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, accounting for outstanding share-based payments using the equity-settled method for stock-based compensation was determined to be more dilutive than using the cash-settled method. As a result, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was reduced by $13 million (2023 - $2 million) in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

A total of 8,912,494 options were out of the money for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (2023 - 6,540,217). These options were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments to manage financial risks related to our business activities. These include debt derivatives, interest rate derivatives, expenditure derivatives, and equity derivatives. We only use derivatives to manage risk and not for speculative purposes.

All of our currently outstanding debt derivatives related to our senior notes, senior debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities, as well as our expenditure derivatives have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Debt derivatives

We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and foreign currency forward contracts (collectively, debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings (see note 15). We typically designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk associated with specific issued and forecast debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank advances, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of our lease liabilities approximates their fair value because the discount rate used to calculate them approximates our current borrowing rate. The carrying values of our financing receivables also approximate their fair values based on our recognition of an expected credit loss allowance.

We determine the fair value of our private investments by using implied valuations from follow-on financing rounds, third-party sale negotiations, or using market-based approaches. These are applied appropriately to each investment depending on its future operating and profitability prospects.

The fair values of each of our public debt instruments are based on the period-end estimated market yields, or period-end trading values, where available. We determine the fair values of our debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation by discounting cash flows to the measurement date. In the case of debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives in an asset position, the credit spread for the financial institution counterparty is added to the risk-free discount rate to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value for each derivative. For those debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives in a liability position, our credit spread is added to the risk-free discount rate for each derivative.

The fair values of our equity derivatives are based on the quoted market value of Class B Non-Voting Shares.

Our disclosure of the three-level fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring fair value:

•financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 1 are valued by referring to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

•financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly, other than the quoted prices; and

•Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.

There were no financial instruments in Level 1 as at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

NOTE 17: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Dividends

Below is a summary of the dividends we declared and paid on our outstanding RCI Class A Voting common shares (Class A Shares) and Class B Non-Voting Shares in 2024 and 2023.

Date declared	Date paid	Dividend per share (dollars)
January 31, 2024	April 3, 2024	0.50
		0.50
February 1, 2023	April 3, 2023	0.50
April 25, 2023	July 5, 2023	0.50
July 25, 2023	October 3, 2023	0.50
November 8, 2023	January 2, 2024	0.50
		2.00

On April 23, 2024, the Board declared a dividend of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share to be paid on July 5, 2024 to shareholders of record on June 10, 2024.

The holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of up to five cents per share but only after dividends at the rate of five cents per share have been paid or set aside on the Class B Non-Voting Shares. Class A Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares therefore participate equally in dividends above five cents per share.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 28% and 31%, respectively, this quarter, driven by revenue growth in our Cable and Wireless businesses.

Cable service revenue increased by 94% this quarter as a result of the Shaw Transaction.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 34% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 210 basis points, as a result of improving synergies and efficiencies.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 9%, primarily due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue as discussed above. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 64.3%.

Net income and adjusted net income

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,180 million (2023 - $453 million); the increase is primarily a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest paid. We also generated free cash flow of $586 million (2023 - $370 million), up 58% as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest on long-term debt and higher capital expenditures.

As at March 31, 2024, we had $4.6 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2023 - $5.9 billion), consisting of $0.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $3.8 billion available under our bank credit and other facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio2 as at March 31, 2024 was 4.7 (December 31, 2023 - 5.0, or 4.7 on an as adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and Shaw as if the Shaw Transaction had closed on January 1, 2023).

We also returned $265 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on April 23, 2024.

2 Available liquidity and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures. Pro forma debt leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio.

Interest on borrowings, net

The 106% increase in net interest on borrowings this quarter was primarily a result of:

•a reduction in interest earned on restricted cash and cash equivalents, as we used these funds to partially fund the Shaw Transaction on April 3, 2023;

•interest expense associated with senior notes issued in September 2023 and February 2024;

•interest expense associated with the borrowings under the term loan facility used to partially fund the Shaw Transaction; and

•interest expense associated with the long-term debt assumed through the Shaw Transaction; partially offset by

•the repayment at maturity of senior notes in March 2023, October 2023, November 2023, January 2024, and March 2024 at different underlying interest rates.
