Strategic Highlights

The five objectives set out below guide our work and decision-making as we further improve our operational execution and make well-timed investments to grow our core businesses and deliver increased shareholder value. Below are some highlights for the quarter.

Build the biggest and best networks in the country
Ranked best 5G+ network in Canada by umlaut in June 2026, a global leader in independent network performance benchmarking.
Expanded satellite-to-mobile coverage to the US for roaming customers, providing the most coverage in Canada and the US of any Canadian wireless service provider.
Deployed cloud-native network technology as an additional layer of mobile network resilience with Nokia and AWS – a global first.
Invested $27 million to upgrade Canada’s best 5G+ network at stadiums and fan zones in Toronto and Vancouver, host cities for the FIFA World Cup.

Deliver easy to use, reliable products and services
Expanded Rogers Xfinity Multiview to allow viewers to watch four live events at once.
Delivered new 5G+ plans with premium features, including industry‑first Priority Network Access.
Launched Rogers Red Partner, an integrated point-of-sale and credit card program for small- and medium-sized businesses.

Be the first choice for Canadians
More Canadians continued to choose Rogers Wireless and Internet over any other provider.
Attracted attendance over 95% of capacity for Toronto Blue Jays games at Rogers Centre, the best second quarter attendance since 1994.
Reached 24 million Canadians throughout the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sportsnet.
Secured the #1 Canadian conventional English-language drama for the third consecutive year with Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.

Be a strong national company investing in Canada
Invested $695 million in capital expenditures.
Launched "The 5.2 Project" as part of our Screen Break program to help Canadian youth balance their screen time.
Named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for the eleventh consecutive year by Mediacorp Canada Inc.
Announced a new long-term agreement renewing Rogers as a partner of Toronto Pearson Airport.

Be the growth leader in our industry
Grew total service revenue by 8% and adjusted EBITDA by 3%.
Generated strong free cash flow1 of $982 million and cash flow from operating activities of $1,517 million.

Update on sports and entertainment assets
On July 6, 2026, we announced we had entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 25% ownership interest in MLSE from Kilmer Sports Inc. for $4.35 billion in cash (MLSE minority interest acquisition), which we intend to fund through existing and new short-term credit facilities. Upon completion of this transaction, we will own 100% of MLSE. This transaction is subject to league approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter. As a result of this agreement, we have recognized a loss related to the MLSE put liability (see "Review of Consolidated Performance" for more information).

MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, including Scotiabank Arena. MLSE also holds interests in certain

entities that are complementary to its sports and events businesses. Following completion of this transaction, MLSE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Rogers, further enhancing our sports and entertainment portfolio, which also includes the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet.

Following the close of the above transaction, we intend to pursue the sale of a minority interest in our consolidated sports, media, and entertainment assets (Rogers Sports) to third-party investors over the next year. We expect this will unlock significant value for Rogers.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue
Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 8% this quarter, primarily as a result of revenue growth in Media and Cable.

Wireless service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year as the impact of the cumulative addition of new customers was offset by a decline in mobile phone ARPU. Wireless equipment revenue increased by 2%, primarily as a result of a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices.

Cable service revenue increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of retail Internet subscriber growth and base management activities. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business in 2025, Cable service revenue would have increased by 2% this quarter.

Media revenue increased by 53% this quarter, primarily as a result of revenue from MLSE following the July 1, 2025 closing of the MLSE Transaction.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 3% this quarter, primarily as a result of EBITDA growth in Media, and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 180 basis points.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily as a result of higher equipment margins. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 66%, up 70 basis points.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 1% due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue, as discussed above. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%, up 10 basis points. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business in 2025, Cable adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2% this quarter.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $61 million this quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned revenue impacts and associated costs.

Net loss and adjusted net income
There was a net loss of $665 million this quarter as a result of the $1,034 million non-cash loss on revaluation of the MLSE put liability (see "Update on sports and entertainment assets"). Adjusted net income this quarter was in line with the prior year, as higher adjusted EBITDA was offset by higher depreciation and amortization and higher finance costs.

Cash flow, available liquidity, and returns to shareholders
This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,517 million (2025 - $1,596 million), which decreased as a result of higher net investment in net operating assets and liabilities partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow of $982 million (2025 - $925 million), which increased primarily as a result of lower capital expenditures and higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by distributions to non-controlling interests. Our free cash flow generation is expected to further strengthen our balance sheet over time through accelerated repayment of debt.

As at June 30, 2026, we had $6.1 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2025 - $5.9 billion), reflecting $1.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.4 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio2 was 3.8 as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 4.0, or 3.92 on an adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $270 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on July 21, 2026.
2    Available liquidity and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures. Pro forma debt leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" and "Financial Condition" for more information about these measures. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies.

Service revenue
Service revenue this quarter and year to date were in line with the prior year as the cumulative addition of new customers was offset by a decline in mobile phone ARPU as a result of the cumulative impact of competitive intensity.

The decreases in postpaid gross and net additions this quarter were a result of the overall slowing of population growth in Canada. The increases in postpaid gross and net additions year to date were a result of sales execution in a highly promotional and competitive Canadian market in the first quarter of 2026.

Equipment revenue
The 2% increase in equipment revenue this quarter and 5% increase year to date were primarily a result of:
a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; partially offset by
a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices.

Second Quarter 2026


The increase year to date was also affected by higher device upgrades by existing customers.

Operating costs
Cost of equipment
The 5% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter and 1% increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs
The 2% increase in other operating costs this quarter and 1% increase year to date were a result of:
costs associated with our new satellite-to-mobile product offering; 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.

retail Internet subscriber growth; and
base management activities, including adjustments to subscriber rates and bundled service offerings; partially offset by
declines in our Home Phone and Video subscriber bases.

Revenue
The 53% increase in revenue this quarter and 65% increase year to date were a result of:
approximately $0.31 billion and $0.79 billion in revenue from the consolidation of MLSE beginning in the second half of 2025, respectively; and
excluding the consolidation of MLSE, organic growth of 13% and 6%, respectively, substantially reflects higher Toronto Blue Jays revenue, primarily driven by higher game day attendance and sponsorships. Higher subscriber revenue from the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels substantially offset lower advertising revenue, primarily as a result of lower participation by Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs and ongoing softness in media advertising.

Operating costs
The $337 million (45%) increase in operating costs this quarter and $720 million (53%) increase year to date were a result of:
approximately $0.23 billion and $0.64 billion of increased costs from the consolidation of MLSE; and
the combined effect of higher player salaries and other game day costs at the Toronto Blue Jays and higher programming 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 and accrued government grants, 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.

We continue to (i) expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network across the country and (ii) invest in fibre deployments, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), in our cable network as we expand our network footprint to reach more homes and businesses, including in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. These investments are expected to strengthen network resilience and stability and help us bridge the digital divide by expanding our network further into rural and underserved areas through participation in various programs and projects.

In April 2026, we updated our 2026 capital expenditure guidance range (see "Financial Guidance") as a direct reflection of the ongoing impacts from heightened competitive intensity and recent regulatory decisions. Our strategic priorities remain unchanged and our current capital expenditure guidance range continues to support these priorities. We expect to achieve our guidance range through (i) ongoing investments progressing at a slower pace, (ii) the deferral and/or cancellation of certain projects, and (iii) lower capital costs for projects, most predominantly affecting Wireless and Cable.

Wireless
In addition to the above, the decreases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year to date were due to the impact of $90 million of proceeds received on the sale of certain network assets. We continued to expand and enhance our wireless network through investments in network development and 5G deployment. We are actively deploying advanced spectrum assets, including the ongoing rollout of 3500 MHz spectrum and 3800 MHz spectrum. These investments build on our existing 5G infrastructure in the 600 MHz spectrum band, enabling greater speed, lower latency, and improved reliability for customers across urban and rural areas.

Cable
In addition to the above, the decreases in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and year to date were a result of customers increasingly choosing to self-install new products. This quarter, we also sold certain cable network assets for $46 million (2025 - $47 million), the proceeds from which reduced capital expenditures. We are growing our network through expanded fibre deployments to increase our FTTH distribution and to extend our service footprint. At the same time, we are enhancing our network by upgrading our DOCSIS 3.1 platform as we transition to DOCSIS 4.0 to improve network resilience, stability, and capacity while delivering faster speeds. As part of this upgrade, we are rolling out mid-split technology (which has a greater number of frequencies than older technology and also allocates a greater number of frequencies to uploading data) in Ontario and Eastern Canada, significantly increasing upload speeds. These advancements leverage the latest technologies to provide greater bandwidth, improved performance, and an enhanced customer experience as we advance our connected home roadmap.

Media
The increases in capital expenditures in Media this quarter and year to date primarily reflect the continued modernization of Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena.

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

The restructuring, acquisition and other costs excluding Shaw Transaction integration-related costs in the second quarters of 2025 and 2026 primarily include severance and other departure-related costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base, specifically including $120 million arising from a voluntary departure program in 2026. Year to date, we also incurred costs associated with certain litigation. In 2025, these costs also included costs related to the network transaction, an unfavourable regulatory decision related to retransmission of distant signals, and real estate rationalization programs.

The Shaw Transaction integration-related costs in 2025 and 2026 consisted of incremental costs supporting integration activities related to the Shaw Transaction.

Investing activities
Capital expenditures
During the quarter and year to date, we incurred $695 million and $1,503 million (2025 - $831 million and $1,809 million) on capital expenditures before changes in non-cash working capital items. See "Capital Expenditures" for more information.

Financing activities
During the quarter and year to date, we received net amounts of $179 million and $375 million (2025 - paid net amounts of $2,728 million and $934 million) on our short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and related derivatives, including

Concurrent with our US CP issuances and US dollar-denominated non-revolving credit facility borrowings (in 2025), 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

In June 2025, we repaid the $1 billion outstanding under the April 2026 tranche of our $6 billion term loan and terminated the facility.

In 2025, 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 are being amortized into finance costs over the remaining terms of the underlying notes using the effective interest method.

In July 2026, we amended the terms of our $4 billion revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the $3 billion tranche to July 2031, from September 2030, and the $1 billion tranche to July 2029, from September 2028.

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 subordinated notes due 2056 can be redeemed at par on July 31, 2031, or on any subsequent interest payment date. 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.

2026
In March 2026, we issued two tranches of subordinated notes, consisting of:
US$750 million due 2056 with an initial coupon of 6.875% for the first five years; and
$1.25 billion due 2056 with an initial coupon of 6.250% 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 $2.3 billion from the issuance, and we used the proceeds to repay debt.

The US$750 million and the Cdn$1.25 billion notes can be redeemed at par on their five-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.

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 derivatives 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.

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.

Consent solicitation
In 2025, in connection with the network transaction, 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 are being amortized into finance costs over the remaining terms of the underlying notes using the effective interest method.

Dividends
Below is a summary of the dividends declared and paid on RCI's outstanding Class A Voting common shares (Class A Shares) and Class B Non-Voting common shares (Class B Non-Voting Shares) in 2026 and 2025. On July 21, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share, to be paid on October 2, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 8, 2026.

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 nil under this facility.

Weighted average cost of borrowings
Our weighted average cost of all borrowings was 4.92% as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 4.78%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 8.3 years (December 31, 2025 - 8.6 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on their respective at-par redemption dates.

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

As at December 31, 2025, trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA reflects the combined results of Rogers including MLSE for the period since the MLSE Transaction closed in July to December 2025 and standalone Rogers results prior to July 2025. To illustrate the results of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period, we have also disclosed a pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA and pro forma debt leverage ratio as at December 31, 2025. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA incorporates an amount representing MLSE's adjusted EBITDA, adjusted to conform to Rogers' accounting policies, for January to June 2025.

These pro forma metrics are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to reflect what the combined company's actual operating results or financial condition would have been had the MLSE Transaction occurred on the date indicated, nor do they purport to project our future financial position or operating results and should not be taken as representative of our future financial position or consolidated operating results.

We intend to manage our debt leverage ratio primarily through combined operational synergies (cost savings and revenue enhancements to be achieved in the context of business acquisitions), organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales and monetizations (including a sale of a minority interest in Rogers Sports), equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable. Our free cash flow generation is expected to further strengthen our balance sheet over time through accelerated repayment of debt.

Financial Risk Management

This section should be read in conjunction with "Financial Risk Management" in our 2025 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 94.6% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 89.1%).

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, with the exception of the interest rate swaps acquired in the MLSE Transaction, 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, 2026 and 2025.

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

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

Expenditure derivatives
We use foreign currency forward contracts and option 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. In 2025, as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we acquired expenditure derivatives and other foreign exchange options that had previously been entered into by MLSE. The other foreign exchange options are effective economic hedges against future US dollar-denominated expenditures; however, they cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in their fair values are recognized in "change in fair value of derivative instruments" in "finance costs".

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, 2026, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 6.5 million (December 31, 2025 - 5.5 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $48.20 (December 31, 2025 - $46.81).

In March 2026, we entered into 1 million equity derivatives with a weighted average price of $55.23.

In April 2026, we reset the pricing on 0.2 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in net proceeds of $0.6 million. We also executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2027 (from April 2026). The weighted average cost was adjusted to $48.20 per share.

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. 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 2025 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, 2025. These are also discussed in notes 3, 19, and 32 of our 2025 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this MD&A, as at June 30, 2026, there have been no material changes to our material contractual obligations, as identified in our 2025 Annual MD&A, since December 31, 2025.

Regulatory Developments

See "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2025 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the significant regulations that affected our operations as at March 6, 2026. The following are the relevant developments since that date.

Prohibition of Fees
On March 12, 2026, the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2026‑43, Prohibition of fees that are a barrier to switching cellphone and Internet plans, regarding fees incurred as a result of activating or modifying telecommunications service plans. The policy amends both the Internet Code and the Wireless Code to add a new definition of "activation or modification fee", which amendments became effective on June 12, 2026. On June 30, 2026, the CRTC issued Notice of Consultation CRTC 2026-155, Show cause and call for comments – Compliance with the prohibition of fees that are a barrier to switching cellphone and Internet plans, requiring each of Rogers, Bell, and Telus Corporation to show cause why certain fees charged by those carriers that the CRTC believes may be in contravention of Telecom Regulatory Policy 2026-43 are not in violation of sections 24 and 27.04 of the Telecommunications Act and Telecom Regulatory Policy 2026-43. Submissions addressing the issues are due to the CRTC by July 30, 2026.

CRTC Codes of Conduct
On April 13, 2026, in Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2026-67, Enhancing customer notifications, the CRTC amended the Wireless Code and the Internet Code to set out what information must be included in notices sent to customers before the end of their contract and to require notifications to customers before the end of a time-limited discount or promotion and

when their data usage reaches $50 when roaming internationally. The new requirements will come into effect on April 13, 2027.

Online Streaming Act
On May 21, 2026, the CRTC issued Broadcasting Regulatory Policies CRTC 2026-95 and 2026-96, which introduced (i) a new financial contribution requirement of 1.55% of annual Canadian broadcasting revenues to support a new Services of Exceptional Importance Fund (SEIF) applicable to all broadcasting ownership groups with annual revenues of at least $100 million and (ii) a new Canadian Programming Expenditures (CPE) framework. On June 3, 2026, the Government of Canada directed the CRTC to review its decision to regulate online streamers and Canadian broadcasters and stated it would be issuing new policy directions to the CRTC requiring it to adjust its implementation of the Online Streaming Act.

Updates to Risks and Uncertainties

See "Risk Management" and "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2025 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, 2026, which should be reviewed in conjunction with this MD&A. The following updates and supplements those risks and uncertainties.

Monetization of sports, media, and entertainment assets
We intend to sell a minority interest in Rogers Sports after obtaining a 100% ownership interest in MLSE (see "Update on sports and entertainment assets"). While we believe there is a significant market for these assets, there is no guarantee we will be successful in selling a minority interest, whether at the expected investment amount, within the anticipated timing, or at all. Such a sale would also require approval from the various leagues governing our professional sports teams, which is not guaranteed. We may not proceed with, or complete, any sale of a minority interest in Rogers Sports, whether at the expected investment amount, within the anticipated timing, or at all, due to alternative opportunities or requirements, general economic and market conditions, or other internal or external considerations.

Sports franchises
After obtaining a 100% ownership interest in MLSE (see "Update on sports and entertainment assets"), our exposure to risks associated with owning and operating sports franchises will increase.

Material Accounting Policies and Estimates

See our 2025 Annual MD&A and our 2025 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 2026
We adopted the following IFRS amendments in 2026. They did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, clarifying both the classification of financial assets linked to environmental, social, and governance as well as the timing in which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognized when using electronic payment systems.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
The IASB has not issued any new or amended accounting pronouncements in 2026.

The IASB has issued the following new standard that will become effective in future years:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (replacing IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements), with an aim to improve the structure and content of the primary financial statements and comparability between issuers (January 1, 2027). The focus of IFRS 18 is on presentation in the statement of income by requiring income and expenses to be classified into operating, investing, and financing categories. The main business activities of a company drive classification of income and expense into appropriate categories and further disaggregation of operating expense line items will be required in the statement of income. It also introduces defined subtotals of "operating profit" and "profit before financing and income taxes" in the statement of income to improve comparability between companies. Impacts on the statement of cash flows include eliminating classification options for interest and dividend receipts (must be classified as investing) and payments (must be classified as financing). In addition, IFRS 18 provides guidance on the disclosure of "management-defined performance measures" in relation to the statement of income, including reconciliation requirements.

We are continuing to assess the impacts IFRS 18 will have on our consolidated financial statements. We expect our consolidated statements of income will be presented differently under IFRS 18 and there will be recategorizations of certain line items in the statements of income and statements of cash flows.

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, 2026 and 2025.

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, 2026 and 2025.

We have also entered into certain transactions with the Shaw Family Group. Total transactions with the Shaw Family Group during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 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, 2026, respectively. The remaining liability of $79 million is included in "accounts payable and accrued liabilities" (for the amount to be paid within the next twelve months) or "other long-term liabilities".

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

Controls and procedures
In accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have limited the scope of their design of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies, and procedures of MLSE, which we acquired on July 1, 2025. In our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, MLSE contributed approximately $0.31 billion and $0.79 billion, respectively, of consolidated revenue and net income of approximately $36 million and $14 million, respectively. Additionally, as at June 30, 2026, MLSE's current assets and current liabilities represented approximately 4% and 5% of our consolidated current assets and current liabilities, respectively, and MLSE's non-current assets and non-current liabilities represented approximately 3% and 1% of our consolidated non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively. The design of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of MLSE will be completed for the third quarter of 2026.

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 2025 Annual MD&A.

Financial Guidance

On April 22, 2026, concurrently with the release of our first quarter 2026 results, we updated our consolidated guidance ranges for select full-year 2026 financial metrics that were originally provided on January 29, 2026 as a direct reflection of the ongoing impacts from heightened competitive intensity and recent regulatory decisions. This press release is available under Rogers' profile on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at sec.gov.

Key Performance Indicators

We measure the success of our strategy using a number of key performance indicators that are defined and discussed in our 2025 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.
