Quarterly Financial Highlights Revenue Total revenue increased by 13% and total service revenue increased by 16% this quarter as a result of revenue growth in Media. Wireless service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. Wireless equipment revenue decreased by 1%, primarily as a result of a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices. Cable service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. Media revenue increased by 126% this quarter as a result of revenue from MLSE following the July 1 closing of the MLSE Transaction (as defined below), the postseason success of the Toronto Blue Jays, and higher advertising and subscriber revenue related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels, partially offset by lower entertainment-related revenue, including the prior year impact of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concerts hosted at Rogers Centre. Adjusted EBITDA and margins Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 6% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 260 basis points, primarily as a result of Media revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth. Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily as a result of higher equipment margins. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 67%, up 40 basis points. Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 1% due to ongoing cost efficiencies. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 59%, up 30 basis points. Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $166 million this quarter primarily due to the aforementioned revenue impacts and associated costs. Net income and adjusted net income Net income and adjusted net income increased by 27% and 3% this quarter, respectively, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA partially offset by higher associated income taxes, and higher depreciation and amortization. Net income was also impacted by a $69 million gain on the sale of our customer-facing data centre business. Cash flow and available liquidity This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,652 million (2024 - $1,135 million), which increased as a result of lower net investment in net operating assets and liabilities and higher adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow of $1,016 million (2024 - $878 million), which increased primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA. As at December 31, 2025, we had $5.9 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2024 - $4.8 billion), reflecting $1.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.5 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities. As a result of the MLSE Transaction closing in the third quarter, our debt leverage ratio2 was 3.9 as at December 31, 2025. This has been calculated 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. If calculated on an as reported basis without the foregoing adjustment, our debt leverage ratio2 as at December 31, 2025 was 4.0 (December 31, 2024 - 4.5). 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 January 28, 2026. ________________________________ 2 Available liquidity and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures.

Achieved 2025 Guidance The following table outlines guidance ranges we had previously provided and our actual results and achievements for the selected full-year 2025 financial metrics.   2024   2025   2025     (In millions of dollars, except percentages; unaudited) Actual   Guidance Ranges   Actual   Achievement Consolidated Guidance1,2                     Total service revenue 18,066   Increase of 3% to 5%   19,104 6 %   ?

Guidance ranges presented as percentages reflect percentage increases over full-year 2024 results. 2 Guidance ranges and actual results presented include the results of MLSE from and after closing the MLSE Transaction on July 1, 2025. 3 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. 2026 Outlook For the full-year 2026, we expect similar growth rates in total service revenue and adjusted EBITDA as experienced in 2025 with capital efficiencies driving lower capital expenditures and continued strong free cash flow. In 2026, we expect to have the financial flexibility to maintain our network advantages and to continue to return cash to shareholders.   2025   2026 (In millions of dollars, except percentages; unaudited) Actual   Guidance Ranges1             Consolidated Guidance           Total service revenue 19,104   Increase of 3% to 5% Adjusted EBITDA 9,820   Increase of 1% to 3% Capital expenditures2 3,707   3,300 to 3,500 Free cash flow3 3,356   3,300 to 3,500 1 Guidance ranges presented as percentages reflect percentage increases over full-year 2025 results. 2 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. 3 Effective January 1, 2026, we will revise our calculation of free cash flow to adjust for net cash settlements on our subsidiary equity derivatives related to ongoing distributions to non-controlling interests. We believe the revised calculation more closely reflects the economic substance of the network transaction and the subsidiary derivatives economically hedge the distributions. The 2025 impact is not meaningful. The above table outlines guidance ranges for selected full-year 2026 consolidated financial metrics. These ranges take into consideration our current outlook and our 2025 results. The purpose of the financial outlook is to assist investors, shareholders, and others in understanding certain financial metrics relating to expected 2026 financial results for evaluating the performance of our business. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Information about our guidance, including the various assumptions underlying it, is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with "About Forward-Looking Information" (including the material assumptions listed under the heading "Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2026 guidance") and the related disclosure and information about various economic, competitive, and regulatory assumptions, factors, and risks that may cause our actual future financial and operating results to differ from what we currently expect. We provide annual guidance ranges on a consolidated full-year basis that are consistent with annual full-year Board-approved plans. Any updates to our full-year financial guidance over the course of the year would only be made to the consolidated guidance ranges that appear above.

See "Key Performance Indicators". 2 As at end of period. 3 Effective April 1, 2025, and on a prospective basis, we adjusted our mobile phone subscriber bases to add 96,000 postpaid subscribers and 5,000 prepaid subscribers associated with the completion of the migration of customers from brands we had previously stopped selling. We believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our mobile phone business. This year, 11,000 (third quarter) and 3,000 (fourth quarter) postpaid mobile phone and 4,000 (third quarter) and 7,000 (fourth quarter) prepaid mobile phone customers impacted by the ongoing decommissioning of our 3G network have been excluded from our customer base and churn metrics above. 4 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 Service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year as the addition of new customers was offset by a decline in mobile phone ARPU as a result of ongoing competitive intensity in a slowing market. The decreases in gross and net additions this quarter were a result of a less active market, slowing population growth as a result of changes to government immigration policies, and our focus on attracting subscribers to our premium 5G Rogers brand. Equipment revenue The 1% decrease in equipment revenue this quarter was primarily a result of: a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices; partially offset by higher device upgrades by existing customers; a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; and disciplined pricing in highly competitive selling periods. Operating costs Cost of equipment The 5% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter was a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above. Other operating costs The 4% increase in other operating costs this quarter was a result of: higher service costs; and costs associated with the launch of our new satellite-to-mobile product offering. Adjusted EBITDA The 1% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

Given this, we believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our retail Internet business. 4 ARPA is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for an explanation as to the composition of this measure. Service revenue Service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business (see below), Cable service revenue would have increased by 1% this quarter. Operating costs The 1% decrease in operating costs this quarter was a result of ongoing cost efficiency initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA The 1% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was a result of the service revenue and expense changes discussed above. Other Cable Developments This quarter, we sold our customer-facing data centre business to InfraRed Capital Partners for total proceeds of $184 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $69 million. The transaction did not include our corporate data centres used for our own network and IT purposes.

Discovery suite of channels and the impact of the Toronto Blue Jays' postseason performance; partially offset by lower entertainment-related revenue, including the impact of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concerts hosted at Rogers Centre in the prior year. Operating costs The 106% increase in operating costs this quarter was a result of: costs incurred by MLSE following the MLSE Transaction; higher programming costs, including those related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels; and higher game day-related Toronto Blue Jays expenses. Adjusted EBITDA The increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

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, while also focusing on recognizing capital efficiencies. We continue to expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at December 31, 2025) across the country. 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 were due to the recognition of capital efficiencies. 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 increase in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and the decrease for the year were a result of the timing of investments and reflect continued 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 increase in capital expenditures in Media this quarter was primarily a result of MLSE capital expenditures, partially offset by lower Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure expenditures associated with the Rogers Centre modernization project, and lower broadcast and digital infrastructures expenditures. Capital intensity Capital intensity decreased this quarter as a result of the revenue and capital expenditure changes discussed above.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025 of $178 million and $829 million (2024 - $228 million and $917 million), respectively. 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 $151 million gain on repayment of long-term debt for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Finance costs also exclude the $32 million and $9 million change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Effective the second quarter of 2025 and as a result of closing the network transaction, we believe removing this amount more accurately reflects our ongoing operational results as these derivative instruments economically hedge the foreign exchange impacts of the network transaction but they are not eligible to be accounted for as hedges in accordance with IFRS. See "Financial Risk Management - Subsidiary equity derivatives" for more details on these derivative instruments. 3 Other income excludes a $4,976 million gain on revaluation of our existing investment in MLSE as a result of the MLSE Transaction for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. 4 Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $55 million and $249 million (2024 - recoveries of $75 million and $338 million) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

Investing activities Capital expenditures During the quarter, we incurred $934 million (2024 - $1,007 million) 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 sold our customer-facing data centre business for cash proceeds of $184 million. Financing activities During the quarter, we paid net amounts of $516 million (2024 - received $133 million) 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.

The three issuances of subordinated notes due 2055 can be redeemed at par on February 15, 2030, February 15, 2035, and February 15, 2030, respectively, or on any subsequent interest payment date. Repayment of senior notes and related derivative settlements In December 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal of our US$700 million 3.625% senior notes and settled the associated debt derivatives at maturity. As a result we repaid $937 million, including $25 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information. 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 2025 and 2024. On January 28, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per Class A Voting Share and Class B Non-Voting Share, to be paid on April 2, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 10, 2026.         Dividends paid (in millions of dollars) Number of Class B Non-Voting Shares issued (in thousands)1 Declaration date Record date Payment date Dividend per share (dollars) In cash In Class B Non-Voting Shares Total                 January 29, 2025 March 10, 2025 April 2, 2025 0.50 188 81 269 2,181 April 22, 2025 June 9, 2025 July 3, 2025 0.50 270 — 270 — July 22, 2025 September 8, 2025 October 3, 2025 0.50 270 — 270 — October 22, 2025 December 8, 2025 January 2, 2026 0.50 270 — 270 —                 January 31, 2024 March 11, 2024 April 3, 2024 0.50 183 83 266 1,552 April 23, 2024 June 10, 2024 July 5, 2024 0.50 185 81 266 1,651 July 23, 2024 September 9, 2024 October 3, 2024 0.50 181 86 267 1,633 October 23, 2024 December 9, 2024 January 3, 2025 0.50 185 84 269 1,943 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.

Free cash flow increased this quarter, primarily as a result of: higher adjusted EBITDA; and lower capital expenditures; partially offset by distributions to non-controlling interests. Financial Condition Available liquidity Below is a summary of our available liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents, bank credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and short-term borrowings as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The amount drawn and letters of credit are currently outstanding under those agreements. The US CP program amount represents our currently outstanding US CP borrowings that are backstopped by our revolving credit facility. Our $815 million Canada Infrastructure Bank credit agreement is not included in available liquidity as it can only be drawn upon for use in broadband projects under the Universal Broadband Fund, and therefore is not available for other general purposes. This quarter, we borrowed nil under this facility. Weighted average cost of borrowings Our weighted average cost of all borrowings was 4.78% as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 4.61%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 8.6 years (December 31, 2024 - 9.8 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on their respective at-par redemption dates. Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio We use adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio to conduct valuation-related analysis and to make capital structure-related decisions.   As at December 31   As at December 31   (In millions of dollars, except ratios) 2025   2024         Current portion of long-term debt 1,186   3,696   Long-term debt 35,872   38,200   Deferred transaction costs and discounts 795   951     37,853   42,847   Add (deduct):     Adjustment of US dollar-denominated debt to hedged rate (1,394 ) (2,855 ) Subordinated notes adjustment1 (3,456 ) (1,540 ) Short-term borrowings 4,000   2,959   Deferred government grant liability2 79   39   Current portion of lease liabilities 690   587   Lease liabilities 2,428   2,191   Cash and cash equivalents (1,344 ) (898 )       Adjusted net debt3 38,856   43,330   Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA 9,820   9,617         Debt leverage ratio 4.0   4.5         Divided by: pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA3 9,986   n/a       Pro forma debt leverage ratio 3.9   n/a 1 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we believe adjusting 50% of the value of our subordinated notes is appropriate as this methodology factors in certain circumstances with respect to priority for payment and this approach is commonly used to evaluate debt leverage by rating agencies. 2 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we have added the deferred government grant liability relating to our Canada Infrastructure Bank facility to reflect the inclusion of the cash drawings. 3 Adjusted net debt is a capital management measure. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about these measures. Trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA reflects the combined results of Rogers including MLSE for the period since the MLSE Transaction closed in July 2025 to December 2025 and standalone Rogers results prior to July 2025. To illustrate the results of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period, we have also disclosed a pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA and pro forma debt leverage ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA incorporates an amount representing MLSE's adjusted EBITDA, adjusted to conform to Rogers' accounting policies, for the year ended December 31, 2025. These pro forma metrics are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to reflect what the combined company's actual operating results or financial condition would have been had the MLSE Transaction occurred on the date indicated, nor do they purport to project our future financial position or operating results and should not be taken as representative of our future financial position or consolidated operating results. We intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales and monetizations, equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable. Credit ratings Below is a summary of the credit ratings on RCI's outstanding senior and subordinated notes and debentures (long-term) and US CP (short-term) as at December 31, 2025.

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. From time to time, Class B Non-Voting Shares have been issued 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 2024 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 89.1% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 90.8%). Debt derivatives We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and foreign currency forward contracts (collectively, debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings. We typically designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk associated with specific issued and forecast debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings, with the exception of the interest rate swaps acquired in the MLSE transaction, have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Credit facilities and US CP Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.     Three months ended December 31, 2025     Twelve months ended December 31, 2025 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)   Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)                 Credit facilities               Debt derivatives entered — — —   9,825 1.394 13,695   Debt derivatives settled 1,446 1.393 2,015   10,873 1.395 15,171   Net cash received (paid) on settlement     23       (32 )                 US commercial paper program               Debt derivatives entered — — —   517 1.410 729   Debt derivatives settled — — —   831 1.414 1,175   Net cash (paid) received on settlement     —       (1 )   Three months ended December 31, 2024   Twelve months ended December 31, 2024 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)   Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)                 Credit facilities               Debt derivatives entered 3,204 1.406 4,504   14,943 1.366 20,407 Debt derivatives settled 3,258 1.407 4,583   17,136 1.364 23,368 Net cash received on settlement     95       87                 US commercial paper program               Debt derivatives entered 607 1.415 859   2,008 1.374 2,758 Debt derivatives settled 293 1.427 418   1,807 1.371 2,478 Net cash received on settlement     8       13 As at December 31, 2025, we had no debt derivatives outstanding related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program (December 31, 2024 - US$1,048 million and US$314 million notional amount at average rates of $1.439/US$ and $1.423/US$), respectively.

As at December 31, 2025, we had US$15,911 million (December 31, 2024 - US$17,250 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 $1.287/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.272/US$). In December 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$700 million 3.625% senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity, resulting in $25 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. Lease liabilities Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our outstanding lease liabilities for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.   Three months ended December 31, 2025   Twelve months ended December 31, 2025 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)   Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)                 Debt derivatives entered 61 1.344 82   241 1.378 332 Debt derivatives settled 65 1.354 88   247 1.352 334   Three months ended December 31, 2024   Twelve months ended December 31, 2024 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)   Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)                 Debt derivatives entered 43 1.442 62   271 1.369 371 Debt derivatives settled 59 1.305 77   214 1.322 283 As at December 31, 2025, we had US$410 million notional amount of debt derivatives outstanding relating to our outstanding lease liabilities (December 31, 2024 - US$416 million) with terms to maturity ranging from January 2026 to December 2028 (December 31, 2024 - January 2025 to December 2027) at an average rate of $1.365/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.349/US$). See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our debt derivatives. Expenditure derivatives We use foreign currency forward 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. Below is a summary of the expenditure derivatives we entered into and settled during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.   Three months ended December 31, 2025   Twelve months ended December 31, 2025 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)   Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)                 Expenditure derivatives entered 360 1.358 489   1,595 1.361 2,171 Expenditure derivatives acquired — — —   619 1.363 844 Expenditure derivatives settled 322 1.339 431   1,421 1.343 1,908   Three months ended December 31, 2024   Twelve months ended December 31, 2024 (In millions of dollars, except exchange rates) Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)   Notional (US$) Exchange rate Notional (Cdn$)                 Expenditure derivatives entered 30 1.300 39   1,140 1.340 1,528 Expenditure derivatives settled 285 1.326 378   1,200 1.325 1,590 As at December 31, 2025, we had US$2,383 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2024 - US$1,590 million) with terms to maturity ranging from January 2026 to June 2039 (December 31, 2024 - January 2025 to December 2026) at an average rate of $1.356/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.336/US$). Of the US$1,595 million notional expenditure derivatives entered this year, US$305 million relates to a hedge of future Toronto Blue Jays player compensation at a rate of $1.30/US$ over the next 14 years. In addition to the expenditure derivatives set forth in the tables above, we acquired other foreign exchange options with a maximum notional amount of US$1,078 million through the MLSE Transaction. These derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in their fair values are recognized in "change in fair value of derivative instruments" in "finance costs". This quarter, we settled US$24 million ($32 million) notional amount of other foreign exchange options, reflecting an exchange rate of $1.3175/US$, and US$24 million notional amount of other foreign exchange options expired. 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 December 31, 2025, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 5.5 million (December 31, 2024 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $46.81 (December 31, 2024 - $53.27). In April 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). In December 2025, we added 1.0 million equity derivatives at a weighted average price of $50.98. See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our equity derivatives. Subsidiary equity derivatives We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. In May 2025, in connection with the network transaction, we entered into subsidiary equity derivatives for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) that mature in 2033. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar-denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis. See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our subsidiary equity derivatives.

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. Non-GAAP financial measures Specified financial measure How it is useful How we calculate it Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure Adjusted net income ?   To assess the performance of our businesses before the effects of the noted items, because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring. Net (loss) income add (deduct) restructuring, acquisition and other; loss (recovery) on sale or wind down of investments; loss (gain) on disposition of property, plant and equipment; (gain) on acquisitions; loss on non-controlling interest purchase obligations; loss on repayment of long-term debt; loss on bond forward derivatives; change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments; depreciation and amortization on fair value increment of Shaw Transaction-related assets; and income tax adjustments on these items, including adjustments as a result of legislative or other tax rate changes. Net income (loss) Adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders ?   To assess the performance of our businesses before the effects of the noted items, because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring. Net (loss) income attributable to RCI shareholders add (deduct) restructuring, acquisition and other; loss (recovery) on sale or wind down of investments; loss (gain) on disposition of property, plant and equipment; (gain) on acquisitions; loss on non-controlling interest purchase obligations; loss on repayment of long-term debt; loss on bond forward derivatives; change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments; depreciation and amortization on fair value increment of Shaw Transaction-related assets; revaluation of subsidiary US dollar-denominated balances; and income tax adjustments on these items, including adjustments as a result of legislative or other tax rate changes. Net income (loss) attributable to RCI shareholders Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA ?   To illustrate the results of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the applicable trailing 12-month period. Trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA add MLSE adjusted EBITDA - January to June 2025 Trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA Non-GAAP ratios Specified financial measure How it is useful How we calculate it Adjusted basic earnings per share Adjusted diluted earnings per share ?   To assess the performance of our businesses before the effects of the noted items, because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring. Adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders divided by basic weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders including the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Pro forma debt leverage ratio ?   We believe this helps investors and analysts analyze our ability to service our debt obligations, with the results of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the applicable trailing 12-month period. Adjusted net debt divided by pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA Total of segments measures Specified financial measure Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure Adjusted EBITDA Net income Capital management measures Specified financial measure How it is useful Free cash flow ?   To show how much cash we generate that is available to repay debt and reinvest in our company, which is an important indicator of our financial strength and performance. ?   We believe that some investors and analysts use free cash flow to value a business and its underlying assets. Adjusted net debt ?   We believe this helps investors and analysts analyze our debt and cash balances while taking into account the economic impact of debt derivatives on our US dollar-denominated debt. Debt leverage ratio ?   We believe this helps investors and analysts analyze our ability to service our debt obligations. Available liquidity ?   To help determine if we are able to meet all of our commitments, to execute our business plan, and to mitigate the risk of economic downturns. Supplementary financial measures Specified financial measure How we calculate it Adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Wireless mobile phone average revenue per user (ARPU) Wireless service revenue divided by average total number of Wireless mobile phone subscribers for the relevant period. Cable average revenue per account (ARPA) Cable service revenue divided by average total number of customer relationships for the relevant period.

Except as otherwise indicated, this earnings release and our forward-looking information do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items or of any dispositions, monetization events, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations, or other transactions that may be considered or announced or may occur after the date on which the statement containing the forward-looking information is made. Risks and uncertainties Actual events and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by forward-looking information as a result of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control or our current expectations or knowledge, including, but not limited to: regulatory changes; technological changes; economic, geopolitical, and other conditions affecting commercial activity, including the potential application of tariffs, trade wars, recessions, or reduced immigration levels; unanticipated changes in content or equipment costs; changing conditions in the entertainment, information, and communications industries; external threats, such as epidemics, pandemics, and other public health crises, natural disasters, the effects of climate change, or cyberattacks, among others; we may not proceed with, or complete, any acquisition of the MLSE non-controlling interest or other transaction for the purpose of unlocking additional value from our sports and other media assets, in each case within the anticipated timing or at all, due to alternative opportunities or requirements, general economic and market conditions, or other internal or external considerations; we may not be successful in unlocking additional value from our sports and other media assets; our sports teams' participation and possible success in their respective postseasons; sports-related work stoppages or cancellations and labour disputes; the integration of acquisitions; litigation and tax matters; the level of competitive intensity; the emergence of new opportunities; anticipated asset sales may not be achieved within the expected timeframes or at all for proceeds in the amount or type expected; new interpretations or new accounting standards from accounting standards bodies, or changes to existing interpretations and accounting standards; changes to the methodology, criteria, or conclusions used by rating agencies in assessing or assigning equity treatment or equity credit on our subordinated notes or for the network transaction; the other risks outlined in "Risks and Uncertainties Affecting our Business" in our 2024 Annual MD&A and "Updates to Risks and Uncertainties" in our Third Quarter 2025 MD&A. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors can also affect our objectives, strategies, plans, and intentions. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties, or other factors materialize, our objectives, strategies, plans, or intentions change, or any other factors or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, our actual results and our plans could vary materially from what we currently foresee.

All of the forward-looking information in this earnings release is qualified by the cautionary statements herein. Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2026 guidance Our 2026 guidance ranges presented in "2026 Outlook" are based on many assumptions including, but not limited to, the following material assumptions for the full-year 2026: continued competitive intensity in all segments in which we operate consistent with levels experienced in 2025; no significant additional legal or regulatory developments, other shifts in economic conditions, or macro changes in the competitive environment affecting our business activities; overall wireless market penetration in Canada continues to grow in 2026; continued net growth in wireless subscribers in the Canadian market; continued subscriber growth in retail Internet; declining Television and Satellite subscribers, including the impact of customers migrating to Rogers Xfinity TV from our legacy Television product, as subscription streaming services and other over-the-top providers continue to grow in popularity; in Media, continued growth in sports (including a full year of results for MLSE) and similar trends in 2026 as in 2025 in other traditional media businesses; no significant sports-related work stoppages or cancellations will occur; with respect to capital expenditures, we continue investing to (i) expand our 5G network and (ii) upgrade our hybrid fibre-coaxial network to lower the number of homes passed per node, utilize the latest technologies, and deliver an even more reliable customer experience; a substantial portion of our 2026 US dollar-denominated expenditures is hedged at an average exchange rate of $1.37/US$; key interest rates remain relatively stable throughout 2026; and we retain our investment-grade credit ratings.
