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

•Started to deploy 3800 MHz spectrum licences, further expanding our 5G capabilities.

•Expanding 5G coverage to the remaining tunnels of Toronto's subway system.

•Announced the CableLabs North collaboration with CableLabs, a new research and development facility in Calgary.

Deliver easy to use, reliable products and services

•Signed landmark deals with Warner Bros. Discovery and NBCUniversal to acquire the most-watched lifestyle and entertainment content.

•Expanded our Self Protect service to customers across Western Canada.

•Launched Disney+ for eligible Ignite TV customers at no additional cost.

Be the first choice for Canadians

•Led the industry with 162,000 mobile phone net additions. In the last 10 quarters, we have added 1.7 million total mobile phone and Internet net additions.

•Announced a milestone agreement with Amazon to broadcast Monday night NHL hockey on Prime Video.

•Announced a ten-year agreement with Comcast to bring their world-class Xfinity products and technology to Canadians.

Be a strong national company investing in Canada

•Invested $1 billion in capital expenditures, the majority in our wireless and wireline networks.

•Released our 2023 economic impact assessment showing Rogers supported 92,000 jobs and contributed $14 billion to GDP.

•Completed the final phase of the Rogers Centre renovations.

Be the growth leader in our industry

•Grew total service revenue by 1% and adjusted EBITDA by 6%.

•Reported industry-leading growth in our Wireless operations.

•Generated free cash flow1 of $666 million, up 40%, and cash flow from operating activities of $1,472 million.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue each increased by 1% this quarter, driven by revenue growth in our Wireless and Media businesses.

Wireless service revenue increased by 4% this quarter, primarily as a result of the cumulative impact of growth in our mobile phone subscriber base over the past year. Wireless equipment revenue decreased by 5%, primarily as a result of fewer device upgrades by existing customers.

1 Free cash flow is a capital management measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" 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.


Rogers Communications Inc.	2	Second Quarter 2024

Total Cable revenue and Cable service revenue decreased by 2% and 3%, respectively, this quarter as a result of continued competitive promotional activity and declines in our Home Phone and Satellite subscriber bases.

Media revenue increased by 7% this quarter as a result of higher sports-related revenue, primarily at the Toronto Blue Jays, partially offset by lower Today's Shopping Choice revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 6% this quarter, and our adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 230 basis points, as a result of full realization of our synergy program associated with the Shaw Transaction over the course of the 12 months following its closing in addition to ongoing cost efficiencies.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 6%, primarily due to the flow-through impact of higher revenue as discussed above in conjunction with lower costs. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 65.2%.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 9% due to the aforementioned synergy program and ongoing cost efficiencies. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 56.8%.

Media adjusted EBITDA decreased by $4 million this quarter, primarily due to higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including players payroll and game day-related costs.

Net income and adjusted net income

Net income increased by $285 million, or 261%, and adjusted net income increased by 15% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher income tax expense. Net income was also higher due to lower restructuring, acquisition and other costs this year relative to the significant Shaw Transaction closing-related fees incurred in the second quarter of 2023.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,472 million (2023 - $1,635 million). The decrease is primarily a result of a greater investment in net operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA. We generated free cash flow of $666 million (2023 - $476 million), up 40% as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, lower capital expenditures, and lower interest on long-term debt.

As at June 30, 2024, we had $4.3 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2023 - $5.9 billion), consisting of $0.45 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $3.85 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

Our debt leverage ratio2 as at June 30, 2024 was 4.7 (December 31, 2023 - 5.0, or 4.7 on an as adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and Shaw as if the Shaw Transaction had closed on January 1, 2023). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $266 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on July 23, 2024.

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

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

3 As at end of period.

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

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

Service revenue

The 4% increase in service revenue this quarter and 6% increase year to date were primarily a result of the cumulative impact of growth in our mobile phone subscriber base over the past year. The year to date increase was also affected by the impact of the Shaw Mobile subscribers acquired through the Shaw Transaction in April 2023.

The increases in mobile phone ARPU this quarter and year to date were primarily associated with the changes in subscribers. We continue to see robust growth in net additions on our premium Rogers brand.

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


Rogers Communications Inc.	5	Second Quarter 2024

Equipment revenue

The 5% decrease in equipment revenue this quarter and marginal decrease year to date were primarily as a result of:

•fewer device upgrades by existing customers; partially offset by

•an increase in new subscribers purchasing devices; and

•a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices.

Operating costs

Cost of equipment

The 2% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter and 2% increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs

The 3% decrease in other operating costs this quarter was primarily a result of:

•lower costs associated with productivity and efficiency initiatives; partially offset by

•higher costs associated with our expanded network.

The 2% increase year to date was impacted by higher costs associated with our expanded network.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 6% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and 7% increase year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

Service revenue

The 3% decrease in service revenue this quarter was a result of:

•continued competitive promotional activity; and

•declines in our Home Phone and Satellite subscriber bases.

The 29% increase in service revenue year to date was primarily a result of the completion of the Shaw Transaction in April 2023, which contributed an incremental approximately $1 billion in the first quarter, partially offset by the factors discussed above.

The lower ARPA this year was primarily a result of competitive promotional activity.


Rogers Communications Inc.	7	Second Quarter 2024

Operating costs

The 14% decrease in operating costs this quarter and 18% increase year to date were a result of the full realization of our synergy targets associated with the Shaw Transaction over the course of the year following closing, and ongoing cost efficiency initiatives. The year to date increase was also impacted by the completion of the Shaw Transaction in April 2023.

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

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

One of our objectives is to build the biggest and best networks in the country. As we continually work towards this, we once again plan to spend more on our wireless and wireline networks this year than we have in the past several years. We continue to roll out our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at June 30, 2024) across the country, as we work toward our commitment to expand coverage across Western Canada. We also continue to invest in fibre deployments, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), in our cable network and we are expanding our network footprint to reach more homes and businesses, including in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities.

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

Wireless

The decreases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year to date were due to the timing of investments. We continue to make investments in our network development and 5G deployment to expand our wireless network. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum 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 decrease in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter was due to timing of investments. The increase in capital expenditures year to date reflect our acquisition of Shaw. We continue to make 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 increases in capital expenditures in Media this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure-related expenditures associated with the second phase of the Rogers Centre modernization project.

Capital intensity

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

The Shaw Transaction-related costs in 2023 and 2024 consisted of incremental costs supporting acquisition (in 2023) and integration activities (in 2023 and 2024) related to the Shaw Transaction. In the second quarter of 2023, these costs primarily reflected closing-related fees, the Shaw Transaction-related employee retention program, and the cost of the tangible benefits package related to the broadcasting portion of the Shaw Transaction.

The restructuring and other costs in 2023 and 2024 were primarily severance and other departure-related costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base, which also included costs associated with voluntary departure programs in 2024. These costs also included costs related to real estate rationalization programs.

Interest on borrowings, net

The 33% increase in net interest on borrowings year to date was primarily a result of:

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

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

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

•lower interest expense associated with refinancing a significant portion of the borrowings under our term loan facility with senior notes issued in September 2023 and February 2024.

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)	2024	2023	% Chg	2024	2023	% Chg

Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$1.16	$1.02	14	$2.16	$2.11	2

1 Our calculation of adjusted net income excludes depreciation and amortization on the fair value increment recognized on acquisition of Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. For purposes of calculating adjusted net income, we believe the magnitude of this depreciation and amortization, which 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, 2024 of $220 million and $462 million (2023 - $252 million and $252 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 Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $81 million and $181 million (2023 - recoveries of $148 million and $161 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

Investing activities

Capital expenditures

During the quarter and year to date, we incurred $999 million and $2,057 million, respectively, on capital expenditures before changes in non-cash working capital items. See "Capital Expenditures" for more information.

Acquisitions and other strategic transactions

This quarter, we paid the remaining $380 million related to the acquisition of 3800 MHz spectrum licences. We recognized the spectrum licences as indefinite-life intangible assets.


Rogers Communications Inc.	14	Second Quarter 2024

Financing activities

During the quarter and year to date, we paid and received net amounts of $41 million and $111 million (2023 - received $3,750 million and $4,667 million), respectively, on our short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and related derivatives, including transaction costs. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information on the cash flows relating to our derivative instruments.

Short-term borrowings

Our short-term borrowings consist of amounts outstanding under our receivables securitization program, our US dollar-denominated commercial paper (US CP) program, and our non-revolving credit facilities. Below is a summary of our short-term borrowings as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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

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

The terms of our receivables securitization program are committed until its expiry, which we extended in June 2024 to an expiration date of June 28, 2027.

In April 2023, we repaid the outstanding $200 million of borrowings under Shaw's legacy accounts receivable securitization program, subsequent to which the program was terminated. This repayment is included in "repayment of receivables securitization" above.


Rogers Communications Inc.	16	Second Quarter 2024

In April 2024, we amended our revolving credit facility to extend the maturity date of the $3 billion tranche to April 2029, from January 2028, and the $1 billion tranche to April 2027, from January 2026.

In April 2023, we drew the maximum $6 billion on the term loan facility upon closing the Shaw Transaction, consisting of $2 billion from each of the three tranches. The three tranches mature on April 3, 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively. During 2023, we repaid $1.6 billion of the tranche maturing in 2027. In February 2024, we used the proceeds from our senior note issuances (see "Issuance of senior notes and related debt derivatives") to repay an additional $3.4 billion of the facility such that only $1 billion remains outstanding under the April 2026 tranche.


Rogers Communications Inc.	17	Second Quarter 2024

In April 2023, we also assumed $4.55 billion principal amount of Shaw's senior notes upon closing the Shaw Transaction, of which $500 million was subsequently repaid at maturity in November 2023 and $500 million was repaid at maturity in January 2024.

Issuance of senior notes and related debt derivatives

Below is a summary of the senior notes we issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. We did not issue any senior notes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

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

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

In February 2024, we issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$2.5 billion, consisting of US$1.25 billion of 5.00% senior notes due 2029 and US$1.25 billion of 5.30% senior notes due 2034. Concurrent with the issuances, 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).

Repayment of senior notes and related derivative settlements

In January 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $500 million 4.35% senior notes at maturity. In March 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our $600 million 4.00% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

In March 2023, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$500 million 3.00% senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity. As a result, we repaid $515 million, including receipt of $174 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives.

Dividends

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

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

Weighted average cost of borrowings

Our weighted average cost of all borrowings was 4.74% as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - 4.85%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 10.3 years (December 31, 2023 - 10.4 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on the five-year anniversary.

Pro forma debt leverage ratio	n/a	4.7

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

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

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

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

On April 3, 2023, we issued 23.6 million Class B Non-Voting Shares as partial consideration for the Shaw Transaction. We also issue Class B Non-Voting Shares 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 2023 Annual MD&A. We use derivative instruments to manage financial risks related to our business activities. We only use derivatives to manage risk and not for speculative purposes. We also manage our exposure to both fixed and fluctuating interest rates and had fixed the interest rate on 90.6% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - 85.6%).

Debt derivatives

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

Credit facilities and US CP

Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

In March 2023, we settled the derivatives associated with our US$1 billion senior notes due 2025, which were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. We subsequently entered into new derivatives associated with those senior notes, which we designated as hedges for accounting purposes. We received a net $60 million relating to these transactions.

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, 2024, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 6.0 million (December 31, 2023 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $53.27 (December 31, 2023 - $54.02).

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

In June 2023, we entered into 0.5 million equity derivatives with a weighted average price of $58.14 as a result of the issuance of additional performance restricted share units in 2023.

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

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

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

In the first quarter, we extended an agreement with a Cable service provider, resulting in an increase in our contractual commitments of approximately $1.8 billion over the next ten years compared to our disclosure as at December 31, 2023. This quarter, we also signed new Media program rights agreements with the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, and Warner Bros. Discovery reflecting an increase in our contractual commitments of approximately $1.9 billion over the next 12 years compared to our disclosure as at December 31, 2023.


Rogers Communications Inc.	27	Second Quarter 2024

Except for the above and as otherwise disclosed in this MD&A, as at June 30, 2024, there have been no other material changes to our material contractual obligations, as identified in our 2023 Annual MD&A, since December 31, 2023.

Regulatory Developments

See "Regulation in our Industry" in our 2023 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the significant regulations that affected our operations as at March 5, 2024.

3800 MHz spectrum licence acquisition

In November 2023, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada announced the results of the 3800 MHz spectrum licence auction that was held in October and November 2023. We were awarded 860 spectrum licences covering 172 regions across the country, including urban area, rural and Indigenous communities. We made payments for these licences in January 2024 for $95 million and May 2024 for $380 million. Upon acquisition in May 2024, we recognized the spectrum licences as indefinite-life intangible assets of $480 million, including directly attributable costs.

Updates to Risks and Uncertainties

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

Material Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2024

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

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

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

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

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

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The IASB has issued the following new standard that will become effective on January 1, 2027:

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

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

Transactions with related parties

We have entered into business transactions with Dream Unlimited Corp. (Dream), which is controlled by our Director Michael J. Cooper. Dream is a real estate company that rents spaces in office and residential buildings. Total amounts paid to this related party were nominal for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

We have also entered into certain transactions with our controlling shareholder and companies it controls. These transactions are subject to formal agreements approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. Total amounts paid to


Rogers Communications Inc.	28	Second Quarter 2024

these related parties generally reflect the charges to Rogers for occasional business use of aircraft, net of other administrative services, and were less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

On closing of the Shaw Transaction, we entered into an advisory agreement with Brad Shaw in accordance with the arrangement agreement, pursuant to which he will be paid $20 million for a two-year period following closing in exchange for performing certain services related to the transition and integration of Shaw, of which $3 million and $5 million was recognized in net income and paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. We have also entered into certain other transactions with the Shaw Family Group. Total amounts paid to the Shaw Family Group during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were under $1 million.

In addition, we assumed a liability through the Shaw Transaction related to a legacy pension arrangement with one of our directors whereby the director will be paid $1 million per month until March 2035, $3 million and $6 million of which was paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The remaining liability of $95 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

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

Seasonality

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

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

•subscriber counts;

•Wireless;

•Cable; and

•homes passed (Cable);

•Wireless subscriber churn (churn);

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

•Cable average revenue per account (ARPA);

•Cable customer relationships;

•Cable market penetration (penetration);

•capital intensity; and

•total service revenue.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

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

Rogers Communications Inc.	6	Second Quarter 2024

NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

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

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


Segment			Principal activities
Wireless			Wireless telecommunications operations for Canadian consumers and businesses.
Cable			Cable telecommunications operations, including Internet, television and other video (Video), Satellite, telephony (Home Phone), and 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, 2024, Wireless and Cable were operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries. Media was operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Media Inc., and its subsidiaries.

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

Statement of Compliance

We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (second quarter 2024 interim financial statements) in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), following the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in our 2023 financial statements with the exception of new accounting policies that were adopted on January 1, 2024 as described in note 2. These second quarter 2024 interim financial statements were approved by the Audit and Risk Committee of RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on July 23, 2024.

NOTE 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2024


Rogers Communications Inc.	7	Second Quarter 2024

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

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The IASB has issued the following new standard that will become effective on January 1, 2027:

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

NOTE 3: CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Key Metrics and Ratios

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

Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio

We monitor adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio as part of the management of liquidity to sustain future development of our business, conduct valuation-related analyses, and make decisions about capital. In so doing, we typically aim to have an adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio that allow us to maintain investment-grade credit ratings, which allows us the associated access to capital markets. Our debt leverage ratio can increase due to strategic, long-term investments (for example, to obtain new spectrum licences or to consummate an acquisition) and we work to lower the ratio over time. As a result of the acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw, and the Shaw Transaction) on April 3, 2023, our adjusted net debt increased due to 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. In order to meet our stated objective of returning our debt leverage ratio to approximately 3.5 within 36 months of closing the Shaw Transaction, we intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales, and debt repayment, as applicable. As at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we met our objectives for these metrics.


	As at June 30	As at December 31

Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA	9,279	8,581

Debt leverage ratio	4.7	5.0


Rogers Communications Inc.	8	Second Quarter 2024

Free cash flow

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

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

Available liquidity

Available liquidity fluctuates based on business circumstances. We continually manage, and aim to have sufficient, available liquidity at all times to help protect our ability to meet all of our commitments (operationally and for maturing debt obligations), to execute our business plan (including to acquire spectrum licences or consummate acquisitions), to mitigate the risk of economic downturns, and for other unforeseen circumstances. As at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had sufficient liquidity available to us to meet this objective.

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

NOTE 4: SEGMENTED INFORMATION

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

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

Earnings per share:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, accounting for outstanding share-based payments using the equity-settled method for stock-based compensation was determined to be more dilutive than using the cash-settled method. As a result, net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was reduced by $5 million and $12 million (2023 - $4 million and $3 million), respectively, in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

A total of 10,367,671 options were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023 - 8,709,807 and 6,518,272, respectively), 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 16). 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 2024

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, 2024 and 2023.

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.


Rogers Communications Inc.	16	Second Quarter 2024

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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we entered into 0.5 million equity derivatives with a weighted average price of $58.14 as a result of the issuance of additional performance restricted share units in 2023 (see note 19).

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There were no financial instruments in Level 1 as at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

In April 2023, we drew the maximum $6 billion on the term loan facility upon closing the Shaw Transaction, consisting of $2 billion from each of the three tranches. The three tranches mature on April 3, 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively. During the remainder of 2023, we repaid $1.6 billion of the tranche maturing in 2027. In February 2024, we used the proceeds from our senior note issuance (see "Issuance of senior notes and related debt derivatives") to


Rogers Communications Inc.	23	Second Quarter 2024

repay an additional $3.4 billion of the facility such that only $1 billion remains outstanding under the April 2026 tranche.

In April 2023, we also assumed $4.55 billion principal amount of Shaw's senior notes upon closing the Shaw Transaction, of which $500 million was subsequently repaid at maturity during the remainder of 2023 and $500 million was repaid at maturity in January 2024.

November 8, 2023	December 8, 2023	January 2, 2024	0.50	190	75	265	1,244

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

On July 23, 2024, a dividend was declared of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share to be paid on October 3, 2024 to shareholders of record on September 9, 2024.

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

•an increase in new subscribers purchasing devices; and

•a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices.

Operating costs

Cost of equipment

The 2% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter and 2% increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Interest on borrowings, net

The 33% increase in net interest on borrowings year to date was primarily a result of:

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

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

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

•lower interest expense associated with refinancing a significant portion of the borrowings under our term loan facility with senior notes issued in September 2023 and February 2024.
