CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS 2025 2024 7 QUEBECOR INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (tabular amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, except for per share data and option data) (unaudited) Quebecor Inc. (“Quebecor” or the “Corporation”) is incorporated under the laws of Québec. The Corporation’s head office and registered office is located at 612 rue Saint-Jacques, Montréal, Québec, Canada. Quebecor is a holding corporation with a 100% interest in Quebecor Media Inc. (“Quebecor Media”). Unless the context otherwise requires, Quebecor or the Corporation refers to Quebecor Inc. and its subsidiaries, and Quebecor Media refers to Quebecor Media Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Corporation operates, through its subsidiaries, in the following industry segments: Telecommunications, Media, and Sports and Entertainment. The Telecommunications segment offers Internet access, television distribution, mobile and wireline telephony, business solutions and over-the-top (OTT) video services in Canada. The operations of the Media segment in Québec include the operation of an over-the-air television network and specialty television services, the operation of soundstage and equipment rental and postproduction services for the film and television industries, the printing, publishing and distribution of daily newspapers, the operation of news and entertainment digital platforms, the publishing and distribution of magazines, the production and distribution of audiovisual content, and the operation of an out-of-home advertising business. The activities of the Sports and Entertainment segment in Québec encompass the operation and management of the Videotron Centre in Québec City, show production, sporting and cultural event management, the publishing and distribution of books, the production of music, and the operation of a Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League team. The Media segment experiences significant seasonality due, among other factors, to seasonal advertising patterns and influences on people’s viewing, reading and listening habits. Given that the Media segment depends on advertising sales for a significant portion of its revenue, operating results are also sensitive to prevailing economic conditions, as they may affect the advertising expenditures of corporations. Accordingly, the interim-period results of operations for the Media segment should not necessarily be considered indicative of its full-year results due to the seasonality of certain of its operations. 1.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, the Corporation considers the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring its financial instruments: ? Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; ? Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and ? Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices when available or on valuation models using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. When the Corporation uses valuation models, the fair value is estimated based on discounted cash flows using period-end market yields or the market value of similar instruments with the same maturity. The fair value of derivative financial instruments recognized on the consolidated balance sheets is estimated as per the Corporation’s valuation models. These models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using the contractual terms of the derivative financial instrument and factors observable in external market data, such as period-end swap rates and foreign exchange rates (Level 2 inputs). An adjustment is also included to reflect non-performance risk, impacted by the financial and economic environment prevailing at the date of the valuation, in the recognized measure of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments by applying a credit default premium, estimated using a combination of observable and unobservable inputs in the market (Level 3 inputs), to the net exposure of the counterparty or the Corporation. Derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2. 15 QUEBECOR INC.
