MLSE Transaction

Effective July 1, 2025, after receiving all required regulatory and league approvals, we acquired Bell's 37.5% ownership stake in MLSE for a purchase price of $4.7 billion in cash (MLSE Transaction). The purchase price was primarily funded from bank credit facilities together with cash on hand (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" for more information). With the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are the largest owner of MLSE, with a 75% controlling interest. The holder of the 25% non-controlling interest in MLSE has a right to require its interest be purchased at a future date at an agreement-defined fair value; we have a reciprocal right to acquire the non-controlling interest under the same terms.

MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), the Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, including Scotiabank Arena. The MLSE Transaction adds

significantly to our existing sports portfolio, including ownership of the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet. We are actively working on opportunities to surface value from our sports portfolio for our shareholders. MLSE's financial results will be included in our Media reportable segment effective July 1, 2025.

Subsidiary Equity Investment

On April 4, 2025, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement with funds managed by Blackstone, backed by leading Canadian institutional investors, for a US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) equity investment (the "network transaction"). On June 20, 2025, the network transaction closed and we received US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) from Blackstone.

Under the terms of the network transaction, Blackstone acquired a non-controlling interest in Backhaul Network Services Inc. (BNSI), a new Canadian subsidiary of Rogers that owns a minor part of our wireless network. We will maintain full operational control of our network and we include the financial results of BNSI in our consolidated financial statements (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Non-controlling interest" for more information). We intend to use the net proceeds from the network transaction to repay debt. This quarter, we used approximately $700 million of these proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under our term loan facility. We intend to use approximately $1.1 billion and US$1.4 billion to pay the purchase price for our senior notes that we accepted for purchase pursuant to offers to purchase that expired on July 18, 2025 (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Cash tender offers" for more information).

Following the closing of the network transaction, Blackstone holds a 49.9% equity interest (with a 20% voting interest) in BNSI and we hold a 50.1% equity interest (with an 80% voting interest). Provided our debt leverage ratio is not greater than 3.25x, at any time between the eighth and twelfth anniversaries of closing, we will have the right to purchase Blackstone's interest in BNSI. The Blackstone investment is recognized as equity in our consolidated financial statements.

During the first five years of Blackstone's investment, BNSI will have a distribution policy to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to Blackstone and RCCI of available cash in an amount that is intended to provide Blackstone with a 7% annual return on its US dollar investment. Including the impact of the subsidiary equity derivatives (see "Financial Risk Management" for more information), the effective cost to Rogers is approximately 6.26% over the first five years.

As a result of closing the network transaction, we have made changes to certain non-GAAP measures and other specified financial measures (see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures – Changes to specified financial measures", "Review of Consolidated Performance – Adjusted net income", and "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources – Free cash flow" for more information).

Financial Guidance

In connection with the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are updating our full-year 2025 guidance range, which was initially provided on January 30, 2025, for total service revenue to reflect the anticipated contribution from the MLSE business. We now also expect capital expenditures to be at the low end of the initial range. Our updated 2025 guidance ranges are as follows.

2024 Initial 2025 Updated 2025
(In millions of dollars, except percentages) Actual Guidance Ranges 1 Guidance Ranges 1, 2
Total service revenue 18,066 Increase of 0% to 3% Increase of 3% to 5%
Adjusted EBITDA 9,617 Increase of 0% to 3% Increase of 0% to 3%
Capital expenditures 3 4,041 3,800 to 4,000 Approximately 3,800
Free cash flow 3,045 3,000 to 3,200 3,000 to 3,200

1    Guidance ranges presented as percentages reflect percentage increases over full-year 2024 results.

2    Guidance ranges presented include the results of the acquired MLSE business from and after the closing on July 1, 2025.

3    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.

The above table outlines guidance ranges for selected full-year 2025 consolidated financial metrics giving effect to the completion of the MLSE Transaction on July 1, 2025 and the network transaction on June 20, 2025. These guidance ranges take into consideration our current outlook and the 2024 results of each of Rogers and MLSE. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged due to the seasonality of MLSE's business, with the third quarter being the off season for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors. Our estimated pro forma 2025 Media revenue and adjusted EBITDA including MLSE is approximately $3.9 billion and $250 million, respectively. The purpose of this guidance is to assist investors, shareholders, and others in understanding certain financial metrics relating to expected 2025 financial results for evaluating the performance of our business including the completion of the MLSE Transaction. Our guidance, including the various assumptions underlying it, is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with "About Forward-Looking Information" in this MD&A (including the material assumptions listed under the heading "Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2025 guidance") and in our 2024 Annual MD&A and the related disclosure and information about various economic,

competitive, legal, and regulatory assumptions, factors, and risks that may cause our actual future financial and operating results to differ from what we currently expect.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 2% this quarter, with service revenue growth in all our businesses.

Wireless service revenue increased by 1% this quarter primarily as a result of continued growth in our subscriber base. Wireless equipment revenue increased by 13%, primarily as a result of higher device sales to existing customers.

Cable service revenue increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of retail Internet subscriber growth and base management activity.

Media revenue increased by 10% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher sports-related revenue due to the success of the NHL playoffs and the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of television channels.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 2% this quarter, while our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 40 basis points, primarily as a result of ongoing productivity and cost efficiencies.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue as discussed above. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 65%, up 10 basis points.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 3% due to ongoing cost efficiencies. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%, up 150 basis points.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $5 million this quarter, primarily due to higher revenue as discussed above, partially offset by higher programming costs and Toronto Blue Jays expenses.

Net income and adjusted net income

Adjusted net income increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA and lower finance costs. Net income decreased by 62%, or $246 million, primarily as a result of higher restructuring, acquisition and other costs, which are not included in the calculation of adjusted net income.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,596 million (2024 - $1,472 million), which increased as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA and lower interest paid, and free cash flow of $925 million (2024 - $666 million).

As at June 30, 2025, we had $11.8 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2024 - $4.8 billion), reflecting $7.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.8 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio2 as at June 30, 2025 was 3.6 (December 31, 2024 - 4.5). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $269 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on July 22, 2025.

These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies.

We believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our mobile phone business.

4    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 1% increases in service revenue this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of continued growth in our subscriber base.

The decrease in mobile phone ARPU this quarter and year to date were a result of ongoing competitive intensity in a slowing market.

The decrease in gross and net additions this quarter and year to date were a result of a less active market, slowing population growth as a result of changes to government immigration policies, and our focus on attracting subscribers to our premium 5G Rogers brand.

Rogers Communications Inc. 6 Second Quarter 2025

Equipment revenue

The 13% increase in equipment revenue this quarter and 5% increase year to date were primarily a result of:

•higher device upgrades by existing customers; and

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

•a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices due to lower gross additions.

Operating costs

Cost of equipment

The 7% increase in the cost of equipment this quarter and the marginal increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs

The 4% increases in other operating costs this quarter and year to date were a result of:

•higher service costs; and

•higher costs associated with marketing and advertising initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 1% increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

Revenue

The 10% increase in revenue this quarter and 16% increase year to date were a result of:

•higher sports-related revenue due to the success of the NHL season and higher Toronto Blue Jays revenue; and

•higher revenue related to the launch of Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels.

Operating costs

The 9% increase in operating costs this quarter and 11% increase year to date were a result of:

•higher programming costs, including those related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels and content; and

•higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including player payroll and game day-related costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

The increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

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. We continue to expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at June 30, 2025) across the country. 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 decreases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year to date were due to timing of investments and the recognition of capital efficiencies. We continue to make investments in our network development and 5G deployment to expand our wireless network. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum and the commencement of 3800 MHz spectrum deployment continue to augment the capacity and resilience of our earlier 5G deployments in the 600 MHz spectrum band.

Cable

The decreases in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and year to date were a result of prioritizing our capital investments and striving to recognize capital efficiencies. Capital expenditures reflect 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 decreases in capital expenditures in Media this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of lower Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure expenditures associated with the Rogers Centre modernization project that was completed in the prior year, partially offset by higher IT and digital infrastructures expenditures.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity decreased this quarter and year to date as a result of the revenue and capital expenditure changes discussed above.

Adjusted net income

We calculate adjusted net income from adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30
(In millions of dollars, except per share amounts) 2025 2024 % Chg 2025 2024 % Chg
Adjusted EBITDA 2,362 2,325 2 4,616 4,539 2
Deduct:
Depreciation and amortization 1 972 916 6 1,909 1,823 5
Finance costs 2 535 576 (7) 1,114 1,156 (4)

Income tax expense 3 232 215 8 425 394 8
Adjusted net income 632 623 1 1,175 1,163 1

Adjusted earnings per share attributable to RCI shareholders:
Basic $1.15 $1.17 (2) $2.16 $2.19 (1)
Diluted $1.14 $1.16 (2) $2.14 $2.16 (1)

1    Depreciation and amortization 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 was significantly affected by the size of the Shaw Transaction, may have no correlation to our current and ongoing operating results and affects comparability between certain periods. Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation and amortization on Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of $212 million and $441 million (2024 - $220 million and $462 million). 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 Finance costs exclude the $93 million change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Effective this quarter and as a result of closing the network transaction, we believe removing this amount more accurately reflects our ongoing operational results as these derivative instruments economically hedge the foreign exchange impacts of the network transaction but they are not eligible to be accounted for as hedges in accordance with IFRS. See "Financial Risk Management - Subsidiary equity derivatives" for more details on these derivative instruments.

3    Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $59 million and $152 million (2024 - recoveries of $81 million and $181 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

Effective this quarter, as a result of the closing of the network transaction, we are introducing a new non-GAAP measure - adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders. In addition to the adjustments applied to net income to calculate adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders further adjusts net income attributable to RCI shareholders by removing the impacts of foreign exchange revaluation within BNSI as the subsidiary equity derivatives we have entered into economically and effectively hedge our foreign exchange exposures arising from the investment.

Rogers Communications Inc. 16 Second Quarter 2025

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.

Long-term debt

Our long-term debt consists of amounts outstanding under our bank and letter of credit facilities and the senior notes, debentures, and subordinated notes we have issued.

This quarter, we repaid the $1 billion outstanding under the April 2026 tranche of the term loan and terminated the facility.

In connection with the network transaction, we paid an aggregate of approximately $30 million to the consenting holders of our outstanding senior notes for their consent to certain clarifying amendments to the indentures governing those securities concurrently with the closing of the network transaction plus approximately $18 million of other directly attributable transaction costs. These costs will be amortized into finance costs over the remaining terms of the underlying notes using the effective interest method.

In July 2025, to partially fund the MLSE Transaction, we borrowed US$1.3 billion ($1.8 billion) under our revolving credit facility and US$1.5 billion ($2 billion) under two new $1 billion non-revolving credit facilities that mature in July 2026.

Issuance of senior and subordinated notes and related debt derivatives

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.

3    Deferred transaction costs and discounts (if any) in the carrying value of the subordinated notes are recognized in net income using the effective interest method. The three issuances of subordinated notes due 2055 can be redeemed at par on February 15, 2030, February 15, 2035, and February 15, 2030, respectively, or on any subsequent interest payment date.

2025

In February 2025, we issued three tranches of subordinated notes, consisting of:

•US$1.1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 7.00% for the first five years;

•US$1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 7.125% for the first ten years; and

•$1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 5.625% for the first five years.

Concurrent with the US dollar-denominated issuances, we entered into debt derivatives to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. We received net proceeds of $4.0 billion from the issuances. We used the proceeds to repay debt and to fund a portion of the MLSE Transaction.

The US$1.1 billion and the Cdn$1 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their five-year anniversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The US$1 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their ten-year anniversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The subordinated notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of RCI. Payment on these notes will, under certain circumstances, be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of our senior indebtedness, including our senior notes, debentures, and bank credit facilities.

Rogers Communications Inc. 18 Second Quarter 2025

2024

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 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 March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and settled the associated debt derivatives at maturity. As a result, we repaid $1,344 million, including $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. In April 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $1.25 billion 3.10% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

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 4.00% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

Cash tender offers

On July 11, 2025, we commenced separate offers to purchase for cash certain series of our outstanding Canadian dollar-denominated and US dollar-denominated senior notes. These offers expired on July 18, 2025. Pursuant to these offers, we accepted for purchase $1,205 million principal amount of our Canadian dollar-denominated senior notes and US$1,707 million principal amount of our US dollar-denominated senior notes. On July 23, 2025, we will pay $1,147 million and US$1,386 million, respectively, plus accrued interest, for the purchase of those accepted senior notes. In connection with our purchase of the US-dollar denominated senior notes, we will also partially settle the associated debt derivatives. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information.

Non-controlling interest

On June 20, 2025, through the network transaction, we sold a 49.9% equity interest, representing a 20% voting interest, in a subsidiary (BNSI) that owns a portion of our wireless backhaul transport infrastructure to Blackstone for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion). We control BNSI and have therefore included its results in our consolidated financial statements. Provided our debt leverage ratio is not greater than 3.25x, at any time between the eighth and twelfth anniversaries of closing, we will have the right to purchase Blackstone's interest in BNSI for a cash purchase price based on the lesser of a multiple of BNSI's EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the BNSI shareholder agreement) and an amount necessary to provide Blackstone with an 8% annual rate of return, subject to a pre-agreed floor and after considering distributions previously made to Blackstone. Blackstone does not have a right to require Rogers to repurchase or redeem its shares.

BNSI is the exclusive provider to Rogers of backhaul services for cellular data transmission in Ontario and Alberta, subject to certain exceptions. RCI has entered into a long-term backhaul services agreement with BNSI (for an initial term of 25 years and subject to renewal) under which it will pay fees to BNSI for cellular data transmission, subject to an annual minimum payment and periodic price adjustments.

During the first five years of Blackstone's investment, BNSI will have a distribution policy to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to Blackstone and RCCI of available cash in an amount that is intended to provide Blackstone with a 7% annual

Rogers Communications Inc. 19 Second Quarter 2025

return on its US dollar investment. Except in certain circumstances, Rogers will be entitled to any excess cash above the target distribution threshold during this five-year period, which may be loaned to RCI. After the first five years of Blackstone’s investment, all distributions of available cash by BNSI will be made on a pro rata basis to Blackstone and RCCI.

We have entered into derivative agreements in connection with the network transaction (see "Financial Risk Management" for more information).

The increases in free cash flow this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of lower capital expenditures and higher adjusted EBITDA.

As a result of closing the network transaction, we have amended our definition of free cash flow to deduct distributions paid to non-controlling interests to reflect the unavailability of this cash flow to repay debt or reinvest in our company. No distributions were paid to non-controlling interests this quarter. See "Non-controlling interest" above for more information on the network transaction.

2    The total liquidity sources under our bank credit facilities and receivables securitization represents the total credit limits per the relevant agreements. The amount drawn and letters of credit are currently outstanding under those agreements. The US CP program amount represents our currently outstanding US CP borrowings that are backstopped by our revolving credit facility.

Our $815 million 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. This quarter and year to date, we borrowed $34 million and $62 million under this facility.

Weighted average cost of borrowings

Our weighted average cost of all borrowings was 4.79% as at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 4.61%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 10.2 years (December 31, 2024 - 9.8 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on their respective at-par redemption dates.

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: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA 9,694 9,617
Debt leverage ratio 3.6 4.5

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    For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we have added the deferred government grant liability relating to our Canada Infrastructure Bank facility to reflect the inclusion of the cash drawings.

3    Adjusted net debt is a capital management measure. This is not a standardized financial measure 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 this measure.

As at June 30, 2025, we had met 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 monetizations, equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable.

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.

Class B Non-Voting Shares were issued as partial settlement of our quarterly dividends under the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" for more information).

Financial Risk Management

This section should be read in conjunction with "Financial Risk Management" in our 2024 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 96.2% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 90.8%).

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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

1    Converting from a fixed US$ coupon rate to a weighted average Cdn$ fixed rate.

As at June 30, 2025, we had US$18,350 million (December 31, 2024 - US$17,250 million) in US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, and subordinated notes, of which all of the associated foreign exchange risk had been hedged using debt derivatives, at an average rate of $1.287/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.272/US$).

In March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity, resulting in $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives.

In connection with the offers to purchase certain of our US dollar-denominated senior notes in July 2025, we will partially settle the associated debt derivatives on the accepted senior notes.

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

Expenditure derivatives

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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

As at June 30, 2025, we had US$2,165 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2024 - US$1,590 million) with terms to maturity ranging from July 2025 to June 2039 (December 31, 2024 - January 2025 to December 2026) at an average rate of $1.351/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.336/US$). Of the US$965 million notional expenditure derivatives entered this quarter, US$305 million relates to a hedge of future Toronto Blue Jays player compensation at a rate of $1.30/US$ over the next 14 years.

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 appreciation 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 June 30, 2025, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 4.5 million (December 31, 2024 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $45.89 (December 31, 2024 - $53.27).

This quarter, we settled 1.5 million equity derivatives at a weighted average price of $35.32 resulting in a net payment of $22 million on settlement. We also reset the pricing on 2.3 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in a net payment of $38 million. Finally, we executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2026 (from April 2025).

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

Subsidiary equity derivatives

We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. This quarter, we entered into subsidiary equity derivatives for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) that

Rogers Communications Inc. 26 Second Quarter 2025

mature in 2033. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar-denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis.

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

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

See our 2024 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, 2024. These are also discussed in notes 3, 19, and 30 of our 2024 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2025, we renewed our agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL) for the national media rights to NHL games on all platforms in Canada through the 2037-38 season for a total committed spend of $11 billion over 12 years beginning in the 2026-27 season.

Further, as a result of entering into new contracts with various Toronto Blue Jays players in 2025, we have approximately US$700 million of incremental player contract commitments that will be settled over periods of up to the next 15 years.

Except for the above and as otherwise disclosed in this MD&A, as at June 30, 2025, there have been no other material changes to our material contractual obligations, as identified in our 2024 Annual MD&A, since December 31, 2024.

Regulatory Developments

See "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2024 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the significant regulations that affected our operations as at March 6, 2025. The following are the relevant developments since that date.

Wholesale Internet Costing and Pricing

On March 27, 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that it would not examine questions related to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) decision to reverse Telecom Order CRTC 2019-288, Follow-up to Telecom Orders 2016-396 and 2016-448 – Final rates for aggregated wholesale high-speed access (HSA) services, which set final rates for facilities-based carriers' wholesale high-speed access, including Rogers' TPIA service.

CRTC Decision on Final Offer Arbitration between Rogers and Quebecor Regarding MVNO Access Rates

On May 28, 2025, the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) dismissed our appeal of the CRTC's decision to accept Quebecor's offer on the rates we charge Quebecor to provide it with mobile virtual network operator services.

Copyright Retransmission of Distant Signals

On June 20, 2025, the Copyright Board of Canada released its revised Tariff for the Retransmission of Distant TV Signals (2014-2018). The revised Tariff was issued pursuant to the direction of the FCA in its judicial review decision dated May 8, 2025, which set aside the Copyright Board’s 2024 redetermination decision. The 2024 Redetermination was released on January 12, 2024, and substantially lowered the tariff rates the Copyright Board had previously approved in 2019. As a result of the revised Tariff, we recognized a $36 million charge, including interest, in "restructuring, acquisition and other" this quarter.

CRTC Review of Wholesale Wireline Telecommunications Services

On June 20, 2025, in Telecom Decision CRTC 2025-154, Consolidated applications to review and vary Telecom Regulatory Policy 2024-180, the CRTC declined to vary the final decision made regarding Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2024-180, Competition in Canada’s Internet service markets, which mandated Bell, Telus, and SaskTel to provide wholesale access to their FTTH networks by February 13, 2025. Contrary to the request of several applicants including Rogers, the CRTC declined to prohibit each of Bell, Rogers, and Telus from accessing mandated wholesale broadband access anywhere in Canada using any technology ("BRT exclusion"). The federal government must respond to a petition to the Governor in Council with the same request for a BRT exclusion by August 13, 2025. Rogers has urged the federal government to reverse this decision to preserve planned network investments that will be at risk.

Updates to Risks and Uncertainties

See "Risk Management" and "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2024 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 6, 2025, which should be reviewed in conjunction with this MD&A. The following factors may contribute to those risks and uncertainties.

Credit ratings

Changes to the methodology, criteria, or conclusions used by rating agencies in assessing or assigning equity treatment or equity credit to the network transaction or our subordinated notes could result in a downgrade in our credit ratings, decrease our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions, reduce our funds available for other business purposes, or make it more difficult to obtain additional financing or refinance existing financing.

Material Accounting Policies and Estimates

See our 2024 Annual MD&A and our 2024 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 2025

We did not adopt any accounting pronouncements or amendments this period.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The IASB has not issued any new or amended accounting pronouncements in 2025.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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 were less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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 was 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 nil and $3 million was recognized in net income and paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (2024 - $3 million and $5 million). There are no payments this quarter as the final payment under the agreement was made in the first quarter. We have also entered into certain other transactions with the Shaw Family Group. Total transactions with the Shaw Family Group during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were less than $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 and $6 million of which was paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The remaining liability of $87 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

This quarter, as we had expected and previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual MD&A, we implemented new supply chain functions in our new enterprise resource planning system. In connection with the implementation, we updated our internal

Rogers Communications Inc. 29 Second Quarter 2025

control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes to our business processes and accounting procedures. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these processes going forward.

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 2024 Annual MD&A.

Key Performance Indicators

We measure the success of our strategy using a number of key performance indicators that are defined and discussed in our 2024 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.

Changes to specified financial measures

Effective this quarter and as a result of closing the network transaction, we have changed our calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted basic and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These changes are reflected in the tables above and the reconciliations below. Our calculation of adjusted net income now removes the impact of changes in the fair value of subsidiary equity derivatives; we believe removing this amount more accurately reflects our ongoing operational results as these derivative instruments economically hedge the foreign exchange impacts of the network transaction but they are not eligible to be accounted for as hedges in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted basic and adjusted diluted earnings per share are now calculated using our newly introduced non-GAAP measure - adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders. This calculation methodology is consistent with the IFRS-defined calculation of earnings per share, which requires the use of "net income attributable to RCI shareholders".

Finally, we have amended our definition of free cash flow to deduct distributions paid to non-controlling interests to reflect the unavailability of this cash flow to repay debt or reinvest in our company. No distributions were paid to non-controlling interests this quarter.

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, us, our, Rogers, Rogers Communications, and the Company refer to Rogers Communications Inc. and its subsidiaries. RCI refers to the legal entity Rogers Communications Inc., not including its subsidiaries. Rogers also holds interests in various investments and ventures.

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, businesses, the public sector, and wholesale providers.
Cable Cable telecommunications operations, including Internet, television and other video (Video), Satellite, telephony (Home Phone), and 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, Wireless and Cable were operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other 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, 2024 (2024 financial statements).

References in these financial statements to the Shaw Transaction are to our acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) on April 3, 2023. For additional details regarding the Shaw Transaction, see note 3 to our 2024 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Statement of Compliance

We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (second quarter 2025 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 2024 financial statements. These second quarter 2025 interim financial statements were approved by the Audit and Risk Committee of RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on July 22, 2025.

NOTE 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The notes presented in these second quarter 2025 interim financial statements include only material transactions and changes occurring for the six months since our year-end of December 31, 2024 and do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB for annual financial statements. These second quarter 2025 interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2024 financial statements.

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2025

We did not adopt any accounting pronouncements or amendments this period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The IASB has not issued any new or amended accounting pronouncements in 2025.

Rogers Communications Inc. 7 Second Quarter 2025

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 condensed 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 Shaw Transaction, our adjusted net debt increased due to new debt associated with closing the transaction, the debt assumed from Shaw, and the use of restricted cash, and our debt leverage ratio increased correspondingly. As at June 30, 2025, we had met our stated objective of returning our debt leverage ratio to approximately 3.5 within 36 months of closing the Shaw Transaction, in large part as a result of the network transaction (see note 17). We intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales and monetizations, equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable. As at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we met our objectives for these metrics.

As at<br>June 30 As at<br>December 31
(In millions of dollars, except ratios) 2025 2024
Adjusted net debt 1 34,593 43,330
Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA 9,694 9,617
Debt leverage ratio 3.6 4.5

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.

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.

As a result of closing the network transaction (see note 17), we have amended our definition of free cash flow to deduct distributions paid to non-controlling interests to reflect the unavailability of this cash flow to repay debt or reinvest in our company. No distributions were paid to non-controlling interests this quarter.

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 (including through monitoring our access to capital markets), 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 2024 financial statements. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that have been 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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was reduced by $1 million and $8 million (2024 - $5 million and $12 million), respectively, in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

A total of 12,204,957 options were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (2024 - 10,367,671), 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 14 Second Quarter 2025

The tables below summarize the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

As at June 30, 2025, we had US$18,350 million (December 31, 2024 - US$17,250 million) in US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, and subordinated notes, of which all of the associated foreign exchange risk had been hedged using debt derivatives, at an average rate of $1.287/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.272/US$).

In March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity, resulting in $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives.

Rogers Communications Inc. 15 Second Quarter 2025

In connection with the offers to purchase certain of our US dollar-denominated senior notes in July 2025, we will partially settle the associated debt derivatives on the accepted senior notes. See note 15 for more information.

Expenditure derivatives

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.

The tables below summarize the expenditure derivatives we entered into and settled during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Expenditure derivatives settled 315 1.324 417 600 1.325 795

As at June 30, 2025, we had US$2,165 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2024 - US$1,590 million) with terms to maturity ranging from July 2025 to June 2039 (December 31, 2024 - January 2025 to December 2026) at an average rate of $1.351/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.336/US$). Of the US$965 million notional expenditure derivatives entered during the three months ended June 30, 2025, US$305 million relates to a hedge of future Toronto Blue Jays player compensation at a rate of $1.30/US$ over the next 14 years.

Equity derivatives

We use total return swaps (equity derivatives) to hedge the market price appreciation risk of the RCI Class B Non-Voting common shares (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 June 30, 2025, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 4.5 million (December 31, 2024 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $45.89 (December 31, 2024 - $53.27).

Rogers Communications Inc. 16 Second Quarter 2025

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we settled 1.5 million equity derivatives at a weighted average price of $35.32 resulting in a net payment of $22 million on settlement. We also reset the pricing on 2.3 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in a net payment of $38 million. Finally, we executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2026 (from April 2025).

During the six months ended June 30, 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.

Subsidiary equity derivatives

We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into subsidiary equity derivatives for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) that mature in 2033. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar-denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis.

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 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 June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

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.

3    Deferred transaction costs and discounts (if any) in the carrying value of the subordinated notes are recognized in net income using the effective interest method. The three issuances of subordinated notes due 2055 can be redeemed at par on February 15, 2030, February 15, 2035, and February 15, 2030, respectively, or on any subsequent interest payment date.

2025

In February 2025, we issued three tranches of subordinated notes, consisting of:

•US$1.1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 7.00% for the first five years;

•US$1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 7.125% for the first ten years; and

•$1 billion due 2055 with an initial coupon of 5.625% for the first five years.

Concurrent with these US dollar-denominated issuances, we entered into debt derivative to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. We received net proceeds of $4.0 billion from the issuances.

The US$1.1 billion and the Cdn$1 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their five-year anniversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The US$1 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their ten-year anniversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The subordinated notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of RCI. Payment on these notes will, under certain circumstances, be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of our senior indebtedness, including our senior notes, debentures, and bank credit facilities.

2024

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 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

2025

In March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and settled the associated debt derivatives at maturity. As a result, we repaid $1,344 million, including $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. In April 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $1.25 billion 3.10% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

On July 11, 2025, we commenced separate offers to purchase for cash certain series of our outstanding Canadian dollar-denominated and US dollar-denominated senior notes. These offers expired on July 18, 2025. Pursuant to these offers, we accepted for purchase $1,205 million principal amount of our Canadian dollar-denominated senior notes and US$1,707 million principal amount of our US dollar-denominated senior notes. On July 23, 2025, we will pay $1,147 million and US$1,386 million, respectively, plus accrued interest, for the purchase of those accepted senior notes. In connection with our purchase of the US-dollar denominated senior notes, we will also partially settle the associated debt derivatives. See note 11 for more information on the settlement of debt derivatives.

Rogers Communications Inc. 24 Second Quarter 2025

2024

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 4.00% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

Consent solicitation

In connection with the sale of the minority interest in a new subsidiary (see note 17), we received the requisite consent from the holders of our outstanding senior notes for certain proposed clarifying amendments to the indentures governing those securities, and paid an aggregate of approximately $30 million to the consenting holders for their consents concurrently with the closing of the network transaction plus approximately $18 million of other directly attributable transaction costs. These costs will be amortized into finance costs over the remaining terms of the underlying notes using the effective interest method.

October 23, 2024 December 9, 2024 January 3, 2025 0.50 185 84 269 1,943

1    Class B Non-Voting Shares were issued as partial settlement of our quarterly dividend payable on the payment date under the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP).

On July 22, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per Class A Voting Share and Class B Non-Voting Share, to be paid on October 3, 2025, to shareholders of record on September 8, 2025.

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.

Non-controlling Interest

On June 20, 2025, we sold a 49.9% equity interest, representing a 20% voting interest, in a subsidiary (Backhaul Network Services Inc., or BNSI) that owns a portion of our wireless backhaul transport infrastructure to Blackstone for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion). We control BNSI and have therefore included its results in our consolidated financial statements. Provided our debt leverage ratio is not greater than 3.25x, at any time between the eighth and twelfth anniversaries of closing, we will have the right to purchase Blackstone's interest in BNSI for a cash purchase price based on the lesser of a multiple of

Rogers Communications Inc. 25 Second Quarter 2025

BNSI's EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the BNSI shareholder agreement) and an amount necessary to provide Blackstone with an 8% annual rate of return, subject to a pre-agreed floor and after considering distributions previously made to Blackstone. Blackstone does not have a right to require Rogers to repurchase or redeem its shares.

BNSI is the exclusive provider to Rogers of backhaul services for cellular data transmission in Ontario and Alberta, subject to certain exceptions. RCI has entered into a long-term backhaul services agreement with BNSI (for an initial term of 25 years and subject to renewal) under which it will pay fees to BNSI for cellular data transmission, subject to an annual minimum payment and periodic price adjustments.

During the first five years of Blackstone's investment, subject to approval of the BNSI board of directors, BNSI will have a distribution policy to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to Blackstone and RCCI of available cash in an amount that is intended to provide Blackstone with a 7% annual return on its US dollar investment. Except in certain circumstances, Rogers will be entitled to any excess cash above the target distribution threshold during this five-year period, which may be loaned to RCI. After the first five years of Blackstone’s investment, all distributions of available cash by BNSI will be made on a pro rata basis to Blackstone and RCCI.

We have entered into derivative agreements in connection with the network transaction (see note 11).

NOTE 19: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Controlling Shareholder

We enter into certain transactions with private companies controlled by the controlling shareholder of RCI, the Rogers Control Trust. These transactions were recognized at the amount agreed to by the related parties and are subject to the terms and conditions of formal agreements approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The totals received or paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were less than $1 million, respectively.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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 was 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 nil and $3 million was recognized in net income and paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 (2024 - $3 million and $5 million). There are no payments this quarter as the final payment under the agreement was made in the three months ended March 31, 2025. We have also entered into certain other transactions with the Shaw Family Group. Total transactions with the Shaw Family Group during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were less than $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 and $6 million of which was paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The remaining liability of $87 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.

NOTE 20: COMMITMENTS

In April 2025, we renewed our agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL) for the national media rights to NHL games on all platforms in Canada through the 2037-38 season for a total committed spend of $11 billion over 12 years beginning in the 2026-27 season.

Further, as a result of entering into new contracts with various Toronto Blue Jays players in 2025, we have approximately US$700 million of incremental player contract commitments that will be settled over periods of up to the next 15 years.

NOTE 22: MLSE TRANSACTION

Effective July 1, 2025, after receiving all required regulatory and league approvals, we acquired Bell's 37.5% ownership stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) for a purchase price of $4.7 billion in cash (MLSE Transaction). The purchase price was primarily funded from bank credit facilities together with cash on hand (see note 15). With the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are the largest owner of MLSE, with a 75% controlling interest. The holder of the 25% non-controlling interest in MLSE has a right to require its interest be purchased at a future date at an agreement-defined fair value (MLSE put liability); we have a reciprocal right to acquire the non-controlling interest under the same terms.

MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), the Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, such as Scotiabank Arena. The MLSE Transaction adds significantly to our existing sports portfolio, including ownership of the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet. MLSE's financial results will be included in our Media reportable segment effective July 1, 2025.

Total consideration in the business combination will reflect $4.7 billion in cash paid to Bell plus the closing-date fair value of our existing investment in MLSE (pursuant to which we will recognize a gain in net income during the three months ended September 30, 2025). Our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $10.9 billion had the MLSE Transaction closed on January 1, 2025. This pro forma amount reflects the elimination of intercompany transactions. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date and the size and complexity of the MLSE Transaction, the accounting for the business combination is not yet complete and we are not able to provide the allocation of consideration paid to the assets acquired or liabilities assumed; therefore, we are unable to provide pro forma net income had the MLSE Transaction closed on January 1, 2025.

The major classes of assets acquired through the MLSE Transaction are expected to include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (including franchise rights, trademarks, customer relationship assets, and goodwill), and investments in associates. The major classes of liabilities assumed include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred player compensation, contract liabilities, long-term debt, and the MLSE put liability.

Rogers Communications Inc. 2 Second Quarter 2025

MLSE Transaction

Effective July 1, 2025, after receiving all required regulatory and league approvals, we acquired Bell's 37.5% ownership stake in MLSE for a purchase price of $4.7 billion in cash (MLSE Transaction). The purchase price was primarily funded from bank credit facilities together with cash on hand (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more information). With the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are the largest owner of MLSE, with a 75% controlling interest. The holder of the 25% non-controlling interest in MLSE has a right to require its interest be purchased at a future date at an agreement-defined fair value; we have a reciprocal right to acquire the non-controlling interest under the same terms.

MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), the Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, including Scotiabank Arena. The MLSE Transaction adds significantly to our existing sports portfolio, including ownership of the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet. We are actively working on opportunities to surface value from our sports portfolio for our shareholders. MLSE's financial results will be included in our Media reportable segment effective July 1, 2025.

Subsidiary Equity Investment

On April 4, 2025, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement with funds managed by Blackstone, backed by leading Canadian institutional investors, for a US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) equity investment (the "network transaction"). On June 20, 2025, the network transaction closed and we received US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) from Blackstone.

Under the terms of the network transaction, Blackstone acquired a non-controlling interest in Backhaul Network Services Inc. (BNSI), a new Canadian subsidiary of Rogers that owns a minor part of our wireless network. We will maintain full operational control of our network and we include the financial results of BNSI in our consolidated financial statements (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Non-controlling interest" for more information). We intend to use the net proceeds from the network transaction to repay debt. This quarter, we used approximately $700 million of these proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under our term loan facility. We intend to use approximately $1.1 billion and US$1.4 billion to pay the purchase price for our senior notes that we accepted for purchase pursuant to offers to purchase that expired on July 18, 2025 (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Cash tender offers" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more information).

Following the closing of the network transaction, Blackstone holds a 49.9% equity interest (with a 20% voting interest) in BNSI and we hold a 50.1% equity interest (with an 80% voting interest). Provided our debt leverage ratio is not greater than 3.25x, at any time between the eighth and twelfth anniversaries of closing, we will have the right to purchase Blackstone's interest in BNSI. The Blackstone investment is recognized as equity in our consolidated financial statements.

During the first five years of Blackstone's investment, BNSI will have a distribution policy to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to Blackstone and RCCI of available cash in an amount that is intended to provide Blackstone with a 7% annual return on its US dollar investment. Including the impact of the subsidiary equity derivatives (see "Financial Risk Management" for more information), the effective cost to Rogers is approximately 6.26% over the first five years.

As a result of closing the network transaction, we have made changes to certain non-GAAP measures and other specified financial measures (see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures – Changes to specified financial measures", "Review of Consolidated Performance – Adjusted net income", and "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources – Free cash flow" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more information).

Financial Guidance

In connection with the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are updating our full-year 2025 guidance range, which was initially provided on January 30, 2025, for total service revenue to reflect the anticipated contribution from the MLSE business. We now also expect capital expenditures to be at the low end of the initial range. Our updated 2025 guidance ranges are as follows.

2024 Initial 2025 Updated 2025
(In millions of dollars, except percentages) Actual Guidance Ranges 1 Guidance Ranges 1, 2
Total service revenue 18,066 Increase of 0% to 3% Increase of 3% to 5%
Adjusted EBITDA 9,617 Increase of 0% to 3% Increase of 0% to 3%
Capital expenditures 3 4,041 3,800 to 4,000 Approximately 3,800
Free cash flow 3,045 3,000 to 3,200 3,000 to 3,200

1    Guidance ranges presented as percentages reflect percentage increases over full-year 2024 results.

2    Guidance ranges presented include the results of the acquired MLSE business from and after the closing on July 1, 2025.

3    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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 3 Second Quarter 2025

The above table outlines guidance ranges for selected full-year 2025 consolidated financial metrics giving effect to the completion of the MLSE Transaction on July 1, 2025 and the network transaction on June 20, 2025. These guidance ranges take into consideration our current outlook and the 2024 results of each of Rogers and MLSE. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged due to the seasonality of MLSE's business, with the third quarter being the off season for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors. Our estimated pro forma 2025 Media revenue and adjusted EBITDA including MLSE is approximately $3.9 billion and $250 million, respectively. The purpose of this guidance is to assist investors, shareholders, and others in understanding certain financial metrics relating to expected 2025 financial results for evaluating the performance of our business including the completion of the MLSE Transaction. Our guidance, including the various assumptions underlying it, is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with "About Forward-Looking Information" in this earning release (including the material assumptions listed under the heading "Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2025 guidance") and in our 2024 Annual MD&A and the related disclosure and information about various economic, competitive, legal, and regulatory assumptions, factors, and risks that may cause our actual future financial and operating results to differ from what we currently expect.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 2% this quarter, with service revenue growth in all our businesses.

Wireless service revenue increased by 1% this quarter primarily as a result of continued growth in our subscriber base. Wireless equipment revenue increased by 13%, primarily as a result of higher device sales to existing customers.

Cable service revenue increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of retail Internet subscriber growth and base management activity.

Media revenue increased by 10% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher sports-related revenue due to the success of the NHL playoffs and the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of television channels.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 2% this quarter, while our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 40 basis points, primarily as a result of ongoing productivity and cost efficiencies.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue as discussed above. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 65%, up 10 basis points.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 3% due to ongoing cost efficiencies. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%, up 150 basis points.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $5 million this quarter, primarily due to higher revenue as discussed above, partially offset by higher programming costs and Toronto Blue Jays expenses.

Net income and adjusted net income

Adjusted net income increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA and lower finance costs. Net income decreased by 62%, or $246 million, primarily as a result of higher restructuring, acquisition and other costs, which are not included in the calculation of adjusted net income.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,596 million (2024 - $1,472 million), which increased as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA and lower interest paid, and free cash flow of $925 million (2024 - $666 million).

As at June 30, 2025, we had $11.8 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2024 - $4.8 billion), reflecting $7.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.8 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio as at June 30, 2025 was 3.6 (December 31, 2024 - 4.5). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $269 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on July 22, 2025.

2 Available liquidity is a capital management measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q2 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), available at www.sedarplus.ca, and this earnings release for more information about this measure. This is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Financial Condition" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for a reconciliation of available liquidity.

2    As at end of period.

3 Effective April 1, 2025, and on a prospective basis, we adjusted our mobile phone subscriber bases to add 96,000 postpaid subscribers and 5,000 prepaid subscribers associated with the completion of the migration of customers from brands we had previously stopped selling. We believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our mobile phone business.

4    Mobile phone ARPU is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.

Service revenue

The 1% increases in service revenue this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of continued growth in our subscriber base.

The decrease in mobile phone ARPU this quarter and year to date were a result of ongoing competitive intensity in a slowing market.

The decrease in gross and net additions this quarter and year to date were a result of a less active market, slowing population growth as a result of changes to government immigration policies, and our focus on attracting subscribers to our premium 5G Rogers brand.

Rogers Communications Inc. 7 Second Quarter 2025

Equipment revenue

The 13% increase in equipment revenue this quarter and 5% increase year to date were primarily a result of:

•higher device upgrades by existing customers; and

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

•a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices due to lower gross additions.

Operating costs

Cost of equipment

The 7% increase in the cost of equipment this quarter and the marginal increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs

The 4% increases in other operating costs this quarter and year to date were a result of:

•higher service costs; and

•higher costs associated with marketing and advertising initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 1% increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

3    Effective April 1, 2025, and on a prospective basis, we added 122,000 customer relationships and 124,000 retail Internet subscribers to reflect the completion of the migration of subscribers from legacy Fido Internet plans that we had previously removed when we stopped selling new plans for this service. Given this, we believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our retail Internet business.

4    ARPA is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.

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" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.

One of our objectives is to build the biggest and best networks in the country. We continue to expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at June 30, 2025) across the country. 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 decreases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year to date were due to timing of investments and the recognition of capital efficiencies. We continue to make investments in our network development and 5G deployment to expand our wireless network. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum and the commencement of 3800 MHz spectrum deployment continue to augment the capacity and resilience of our earlier 5G deployments in the 600 MHz spectrum band.

Cable

The decreases in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and year to date were a result of prioritizing our capital investments and striving to recognize capital efficiencies. Capital expenditures reflect 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 decreases in capital expenditures in Media this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of lower Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure expenditures associated with the Rogers Centre modernization project that was completed in the prior year, partially offset by higher IT and digital infrastructures expenditures.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity decreased this quarter and year to date as a result of the revenue and capital expenditure changes discussed above.

Adjusted net income

We calculate adjusted net income from adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30
(In millions of dollars, except per share amounts) 2025 2024 % Chg 2025 2024 % Chg
Adjusted EBITDA 2,362 2,325 2 4,616 4,539 2

Basic $1.15 $1.17 (2) $2.16 $2.19 (1)
Diluted $1.14 $1.16 (2) $2.14 $2.16 (1)

1    Depreciation and amortization 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 was significantly affected by the size of the Shaw Transaction, may have no correlation to our current and ongoing operating results and affects comparability between certain periods. Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation and amortization on Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of $212 million and $441 million (2024 - $220 million and $462 million). 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 Finance costs exclude the $93 million change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Effective this quarter and as a result of closing the network transaction, we believe removing this amount more accurately reflects our ongoing operational results as these derivative instruments economically hedge the foreign exchange impacts of the network transaction but they are not eligible to be accounted for as hedges in accordance with IFRS. See "Financial Risk Management - Subsidiary equity derivatives" in our Q2 2025 MD&A for more details on these derivative instruments.

3    Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $59 million and $152 million (2024 - recoveries of $81 million and $181 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

Effective this quarter, as a result of the closing of the network transaction, we are introducing a new non-GAAP measure - adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders. In addition to the adjustments applied to net income to calculate adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders further adjusts net income attributable to RCI shareholders by removing the impacts of foreign exchange revaluation within BNSI as the subsidiary equity derivatives we have entered into economically and effectively hedge our foreign exchange exposures arising from the investment.

Key Performance Indicators

We measure the success of our strategy using a number of key performance indicators that are defined and discussed in our 2024 Annual MD&A and this earnings release. 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.
