Third Quarter 2026
NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Rogers Communications Inc. is Canada's communications, sports and entertainment 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 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, sports team ownership, television and radio broadcasting, specialty channels, and digital media.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, 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., its subsidiaries, and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE). Effective July 2025, TSC was transferred from the Media reportable segment to Corporate Items, consistent with changes to its management structure. Comparative results have been recast to reflect this change, with no impact on consolidated results.
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, 2025 (2025 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 financial statements. References to the MLSE Transaction are to our acquisition of BCE Inc.'s (Bell) indirect 37.5% interest in MLSE on July 1, 2025. For additional details, see "MLSE Transaction" in our 2025 Annual Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and our 2025 financial statements. References to the MLSE minority interest acquisition are to our acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in MLSE from Kilmer Sports Inc., which was completed on October 1, 2026. For additional details, see "Update on sports and entertainment assets" in our Q3 2026 MD&A. References to the "network transaction" are to our sale of a non-controlling interest in Backhaul Network Services Inc. (BNSI), a Canadian subsidiary of Rogers that owns a minor part of our wireless network. For additional details, see "Subsidiary Equity Investment" in our 2025 Annual MD&A and our 2025 financial statements.
Statement of Compliance
We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 (third quarter 2026 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 2025 financial statements. These third quarter 2026 interim financial statements were approved by RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on October 22, 2026.
NOTE 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The notes presented in these third quarter 2026 interim financial statements include only material transactions and changes occurring for the nine months since our year-end of December 31, 2025 and do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB for annual financial statements. These third quarter 2026 interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2025 financial statements.
All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Third Quarter 2026
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.
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 interim 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. While our debt leverage ratio has increased as a result of the MLSE 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. As at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we met our objectives for these metrics.
For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio as at September 30, 2026, we adjusted 50% of the value of all our subordinated notes except for our $2.0 billion subordinated notes due 2081, which we intend to redeem in December 2026 using the net proceeds from our issuance of subordinated notes in September 2026 (see note 15). This treatment is aligned with the approach commonly used to evaluate debt leverage by rating agencies.

1 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we believe adjusting 50% of the value of our subordinated notes, excluding our $2.0 billion subordinated notes due 2081 which we intend to redeem in December 2026, 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.
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.

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 September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.
In September 2026, we issued three tranches of subordinated notes and received net proceeds of $2.0 billion from the issuance. We intend to use the proceeds to redeem our $2.0 billion subordinated notes due 2081 in December 2026 on their first at-par redemption date (see note 15).
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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we borrowed nil (2025 - $9 million and $71 million) under this facility.
The $4.35 billion of credit facilities we entered into in September 2026 (see note 14) are also not included in available liquidity as they were drawn in full on October 1, 2026 to fund the MLSE minority interest acquisition (see note 9).

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. Effective July 2025, TSC was transferred from the Media segment to Corporate Items, consistent with changes to its management structure. Comparative results have been recast to reflect this change, with no impact on consolidated results. We follow the same accounting policies for our segments as those described in note 2 of our 2025 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.
Rogers Communications Inc.

Third Quarter 2026
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.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we also incurred costs associated with certain litigation.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the costs also included expenses related to closing the MLSE Transaction and real estate rationalization programs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the costs also included expenses directly related to completing the network transaction and an unfavourable regulatory decision related to retransmission of distant signals.
The Shaw Transaction integration-related costs in 2025 and 2026 consisted of incremental costs supporting integration activities related to the Shaw Transaction.

1 Includes a $40 million reduction to the gain on revaluation of our investment in MLSE in the third quarter of 2025 as a result of finalization adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the MLSE Transaction.
In July 2025, as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we recognized a $5 billion non-cash gain to recognize our existing 37.5% interest in MLSE at fair value, which was required as a result of the MLSE Transaction.
In July 2026, we announced we had entered into an agreement to pursue the MLSE minority interest acquisition for $4.35 billion in cash. As a result of this agreement, we recognized a $1,034 million non-cash loss related to the change in the fair value of the MLSE put liability, from $3.3 billion to $4.35 billion as at June 30, 2026, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
On October 1, 2026, we closed the MLSE minority interest acquisition and became 100% owners of MLSE. Upon closing, we borrowed US$3,077 million ($4,367 million) under our non-revolving credit facilities (see note 14) and settled the MLSE put liability included in "other current liabilities".

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, accounting for outstanding share-based payments using the equity-settled method for stock-based compensation was determined to be more dilutive than using the cash-settled method. As a result, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was reduced by $5 million and $16 million (2025 - nil and $4 million), respectively, in the diluted earnings per share calculation.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, a total of 8,758,089 options (2025 - 9,078,991) were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive.
NOTE 11: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage financial risks related to our business activities. These include debt derivatives, interest rate derivatives, expenditure derivatives, and equity derivatives. We only use derivatives to manage risk and not for speculative purposes.
All of our currently outstanding debt derivatives related to our senior notes, senior debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities, as well as our expenditure derivatives have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
Rogers Communications Inc.
15
Third Quarter 2026
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, 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
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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

As at September 30, 2026, we had US$17,661 million (December 31, 2025 - US$15,911 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 $1.296/US$ (December 31, 2025 - $1.287/US$).

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.
In July 2025, in connection with the offers to repurchase certain of our US dollar-denominated senior notes, we partially settled the associated debt derivatives on the accepted senior notes (see note 15).

As at September 30, 2026, we had US$360 million notional amount of debt derivatives outstanding relating to our outstanding lease liabilities (December 31, 2025 - US$410 million) with terms to maturity ranging from October 2026 to September 2029 (December 31, 2025 - January 2026 to December 2028) at an average rate of $1.377/US$ (December 31, 2025 - $1.365/US$).
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".
The following table provides further details on our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts and options as at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

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.

Third Quarter 2026
As at September 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).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into 1 million equity derivatives with a weighted average price of $55.23. We also reset the pricing on 0.2 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in net proceeds of $0.6 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 2027 (from April 2026). The weighted average cost was adjusted to $48.20 per share.
During the nine months ended September 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 $38 million. Finally, we executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2026 (from April 2025).
Subsidiary equity derivatives
We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar-denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis.
Cash settlements on debt derivatives and subsidiary equity derivatives

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank advances, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of our lease liabilities approximates their fair value because the discount rate used to calculate them approximates our current borrowing rate. The carrying values of our financing receivables also approximate their fair values based on our recognition of an expected credit loss allowance.
We determine the fair value of our private investments by using implied valuations from follow-on financing rounds, third-party sale negotiations, or using market-based approaches. These are applied appropriately to each investment depending on its future operating and profitability prospects.
The fair values of each of our public debt instruments are based on the period-end estimated market yields, or period-end trading values, where available. We determine the fair values of our debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation by discounting cash flows to the measurement date. In the case of derivatives in an asset position, the credit adjustment for the financial institution counterparty is added to the risk-free value to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value for each derivative. For those derivatives in a liability position, our credit adjustment is added to the risk-free value for each derivative.
The fair values of our equity derivatives are based on the period-end quoted market value of Class B Non-Voting Shares.
The fair value of the MLSE put liability is based on the agreed-upon amount to purchase the remaining 25% interest in MLSE from the non-controlling interest holder (see note 9).

Third Quarter 2026
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 September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025.
Below is a summary of the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments as at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

In September 2026, to fund the MLSE minority interest acquisition, we entered into four non-revolving credit facilities with an aggregate limit of $4.35 billion that mature in September 2027. In October 2026, we borrowed US$3,077 million ($4,367 million) under these facilities upon closing the MLSE minority interest acquisition (see note 9). Concurrent with the borrowings, we entered into debt derivatives to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with the principal and interest components of the borrowings.

Long-term debt acquired through the MLSE Transaction
During the nine months ended September 30, 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 2025, to partially fund the MLSE Transaction, we borrowed US$1.3 billion ($1.8 billion) under our revolving credit facility (which was subsequently repaid using the proceeds from the network transaction) and US$1.5 billion ($2 billion) under two new $1 billion non-revolving credit facilities that matured in July 2026.
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.

Third Quarter 2026
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.
In September 2026, we issued three tranches of subordinated notes, consisting of:
•US$500 million due 2057 with an initial coupon of 7.150% for the first five years;
•US$500 million due 2057 with an initial coupon of 7.400% for the first ten years; and
•$600 million due 2057 with an initial coupon of 6.000% 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 $2.0 billion from the issuance, and we intend to use the proceeds to redeem our $2.0 billion subordinated notes due 2081 in December 2026 on their first at-par redemption date.
Each of the $600 million and US$500 million 7.15% subordinated notes can be redeemed at par on their five-year anniversary or on any subsequent interest payment date. The US$500 million 7.4% subordinated 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.
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
2026
In September 2026, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $500 million 5.65% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.
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.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased $1,205 million principal amount of our Canadian dollar-denominated senior notes and US$1,738 million principal amount of our US dollar-denominated senior notes, paying the note holders $1,147 million and US$1,411 million, respectively, plus accrued interest, for the purchase of those senior notes. In connection with our purchase of the US dollar-denominated senior notes, we also partially settled the associated debt derivatives.

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 October 22, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share, to be paid on January 5, 2027, to shareholders of record on December 8, 2026.
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.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we sold certain assets, including wireless network assets, wireline network assets, and real estate, for $274 and $412 million (2025 - $13 million and $68 million). In connection with the sales, we recognized gains of $67 million and $97 million (2025 - nil), respectively.
The wireline network assets we sold during the three months ended September 30, 2026 reflect in-process network assets related to the Government of Ontario's Accelerated High-Speed Internet Program. These were sold to various third parties who have agreed, among other things, to complete construction in accordance with the standards and timelines contained within our agreement with the government. Notwithstanding these third-party arrangements, we remain responsible for the obligations to the government. If these entities do not fulfill their obligations, we would need to take steps to ensure construction is completed as required.
