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 flow 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.

_{^{________________________________________

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

Wireless and Cable are operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other subsidiaries. Media is operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Media Inc., its subsidiaries, and 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.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results

_{¹ As defined. See “Key Performance Indicators”.
² Adjusted EBITDA margin is a supplementary financial measure. Adjusted basic and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to RCI shareholders are non-GAAP ratios (of which adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders is a component). 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” in our Q2 2026 MD&A for more information about each of these measures, available at www.sedarplus.ca.}

Results of our Reportable Segments

WIRELESS

Wireless Financial Results

¹ _{Calculated using service revenue.}

Wireless Subscriber Results ¹

_{¹ Subscriber counts and subscriber churn are key performance indicators. See “Key Performance Indicators”.
² As at end of period.
³ Mobile phone ARPU is a supplementary financial measure. See “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” in our Q2 2026 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.}

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.

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.

CABLE

Cable Financial Results

Cable Subscriber Results ¹

_{¹ Subscriber results are key performance indicators. See “Key Performance Indicators”.
² As at end of period.
³ ARPA is a supplementary financial measure. See “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” in our Q2 2026 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.}

Service revenue
The 1% increases in service revenue this quarter and year to date were a result of:

•  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.

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 and year to date.

Operating costs
The 1% increase in operating costs this quarter was a result of:

• increased licensing rights associated with changes to our bundled service offerings; partially offset by
• other efficiency and productivity initiatives.

Operating costs for the year to date were stable.

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

MEDIA

Media Financial Results

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.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

_{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” in our Q2 2026 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at www.sedarplus.ca.}

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.

Review of Consolidated Performance

This section discusses our consolidated net income and other income and expenses that do not form part of the segment discussions above.

Depreciation and amortization

Restructuring, acquisition and other

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.

Finance costs

_{¹ Interest on borrowings, net includes interest on short-term borrowings and on long-term debt.
² Reflects the change in fair value of derivatives entered into related to the network transaction (see “Financial Risk Management” in our Q2 2026 MD&A for more information). This amount is removed from the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders (see below).}

Other expense

The other expense this quarter and year to date primarily reflects a $1,034 million non-cash loss to recognize the change in the fair value of the MLSE put liability from $3.3 billion to $4.35 billion as at June 30, 2026 (see “Update on sports and entertainment assets”).

Income tax expense

Cash income taxes paid increased this quarter and year to date due to timing of installments.

Net (loss) income

Adjusted net income
We calculate adjusted net income from adjusted EBITDA as follows:

_{¹ Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation and amortization on the fair value increment recognized on acquisition of Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 of $172 million and $353 million (2025 – $212 million and $441 million). Adjusted net income includes depreciation and amortization on the acquired Shaw property, plant and equipment and intangible assets based on Shaw’s historical cost and depreciation policies.
² Finance costs exclude the $16 million and $121 million (2025 – $93 million and $93 million) change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
³ Other income excludes a $1,034 million non-cash loss on revaluation of the MLSE put liability (see “Update on sports and entertainment assets” for more information).
⁴ Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $73 million and $130 million (2025 – recoveries of $59 million and $152 million), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.}

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 earnings release. 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.

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 earnings release. We believe these key performance indicators allow us to appropriately measure our performance against our operating strategy and against the results of our peers and competitors. The following key performance indicators, some of which are supplementary financial measures (see “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures”), are not measurements in accordance with IFRS. They include:
