Rogers Communications Inc. 6 First Quarter 2026 NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS Rogers Communications Inc. is Canada's communications, sports and entertainment company. Substantially all of our operations and sales are in Canada. RCI is incorporated in Canada and its registered office is located at 333 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4W 1G9. RCI's shares are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: RCI.A and RCI.B) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RCI). We, us, our, Rogers, Rogers Communications, and the Company refer to Rogers Communications Inc. and its subsidiaries. RCI refers to the legal entity Rogers Communications Inc., not including its subsidiaries. Rogers also holds interests in various investments and ventures. We report our results of operations in three reportable segments. Each segment and the nature of its business is as follows: Segment Principal activities Wireless Wireless telecommunications operations for Canadian consumers, businesses, the public sector, and wholesale providers. Cable Cable telecommunications operations, including Internet, television and other video (Video), Satellite, telephony (Home Phone), and home monitoring services for Canadian consumers and businesses, and network connectivity through our fibre network to support a range of voice, data, networking, hosting, and cloud-based services for the business, public sector, and carrier wholesale markets. Media A diversified portfolio of media properties, including sports media and entertainment, television and radio broadcasting, specialty channels, digital media, and sports team ownership. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Wireless and Cable were operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other subsidiaries. Media was operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Media Inc., its subsidiaries, and M

aple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE). Effective July 2025, Today's Shopping Choice (TSC) was transferred from the Media reportable segment to Corporate Items, consistent with changes to its management structure. Comparative results have been recast to reflect this change, with no impact on consolidated results. Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. These typical fluctuations are described in note 1 to our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 financial statements). References in these financial statements to the Shaw Transaction are to our acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) on April 3, 2023. For additional details regarding the Shaw Transaction, see note 3 to our 2024 financial statements. References to the MLSE Transaction are to our acquisition of Bell's indirect 37.5% interest in MLSE on July 1, 2025. For additional details, see "MLSE Transaction" in our 2025 Annual MD&A and our 2025 financial statements. References to the "network transaction" are to our sale of a non-controlling interest in Backhaul Network Services Inc. (BNSI), a Canadian subsidiary of Rogers that owns a minor part of our wireless network. For additional details, see "Subsidiary Equity Investment" in our 2025 Annual MD&A and our 2025 financial statements. Statement of Compliance We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (first quarter 2026 interim financial statements) in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), following the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in our 2025 financial statements. These first quarter 2026 interim financial statements were approved by RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on April 21, 2026. NOTE 2: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The notes presented in these first quarter 2026 interim financial statements include only material transactions and changes occurring for the three months since our year-end of December 31, 2025 and do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB for annual financial statements. These first quarter 2026 interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2025 financial statements. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2026 We adopted the following IFRS amendments in 2026. They did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Rogers Communications Inc. 7 First Quarter 2026 • Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, clarifying both the classification of financial assets linked to environmental, social, and governance as well as the timing in which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognized when using electronic payment systems. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The IASB has not issued any new or amended accounting pronouncements in 2026. The IASB has issued the following new standard that will become effective in future years: • IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure
---
in Financial Statements (replacing IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements), with an aim to improve the structure and content of the primary financial statements and comparability between issuers (January 1, 2027). The focus of IFRS 18 is on presentation in the statement of income by requiring income and expenses to be classified into operating, investing, and financing categories. The main business activities of a company drive classification of income and expense into appropriate categories and further disaggregation of operating expense line items will be required in the statement of income. It also introduces defined subtotals of "operating profit" and "profit before financing and income taxes" in the statement of income to improve comparability between companies. Impacts on the statement of cash flows include eliminating classification options for interest and dividend receipts (must be classified as investing) and payments (must be classified as financing). In addition, IFRS 18 provides guidance on the disclosure of "management-defined performance measures" in relation to the statement of income, including reconciliation requirements. We are continuing to assess the impacts IFRS 18 will have on our consolidated financial statements. We expect our consolidated statements of income will be presented differently under IFRS 18 and there will be recategorizations of certain line items in the statements of income and statements of cash flows. NOTE 3: CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT Key Metrics and Ratios We monitor adjusted net debt, debt leverage ratio, free cash flow, and available liquidity to manage our capital structure and related risks. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar capital management measures disclosed by other companies. A summary of our key metrics and ratios follows, along with a reconciliation between each of these measures and the items presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio We monitor adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio as part of the management of liquidity to sustain future development of our business, conduct valuation-related analyses, and make decisions about capital. In so doing, we typically aim to have an adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio that allow us to maintain investment-grade credit ratings, which allows us the associated access to capital markets. Our debt leverage ratio can increase due to strategic, long-term investments (for example, to obtain new spectrum licences or to consummate an acquisition) and we work to lower the ratio over time. While our debt leverage ratio has increased as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales and monetizations, equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable. As at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we met our objectives for these metrics. As at March 31 As at December 31 (In millions of dollars, except ratios) 2026 2025 Adjusted net debt 1,2 37,966 38,856 Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA 9,930 9,820 Debt leverage ratio 3.8 4.0 1 For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt, 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. Rogers Communications Inc. 8 First Quarter 2026 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. Three months ended March 31 (In millions of dollars) Note 2026 2025 Adjusted EBITDA 4 2,364 2,254 Deduct (add): Capital expenditures 1 20 808 978 Interest on borrowings, net and capitalized interest 8 476 502 Cash income taxes 2 200 188 Distributions paid by subsidiaries to non-controlling interests 116 — Net cash proceeds on subsidiary equity derivatives 3 (12) — Free cash flow 776 586 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 Cash income taxes are net of refunds received. 3 Reflects the impact of the subsidiary equity derivatives, which we entered into to economically hedge the distributions to non-controlling interests. See note 11 for more information. Three months ended March 31 (In millions of dollars) Note 2026 2025 Cash provided by operating activities 1,495 1,296 Add (deduct): Capital expenditures 20 (808) (978) Interest on borrowings, net and capitalized interest 8 (476) (502) Interest paid 552 595 Restructuring, acquisition and other 7 49 127 Program rights amortization (53) (19) Change in net operating assets and liabilities 20 159 83 Distributions paid by subsidiaries to non-controlling interests 17 (116) — Net cash proceeds on subsidiary equity derivatives 17 12 — Post-employment benefit contributions, net of expense (16) (17) Cash flows relating to other operating activities (21) (3) Other investment (income) losses 9 (1) 4 Free cash flow 776 586 Available liquidity Available liquidity fluctuates based on business circumstances. We continually manage (including through monitoring our access to capital markets), and aim to have sufficient, available liquidity at all times to help protect our ability to meet all of our commitments (operationally and for maturing debt obligations), to execute our business plan (including to acquire spectrum licences or consummate acquisitions), to mitigate the risk of economic downturns, and for other unforeseen circumstances. As at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had sufficient liquidity available to us to meet this objective. Below is a summary of our total available liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents, bank credit facilities, letter of credit facilities, and short-term borrowings, including our receivables securitization program and our US dollar-denominated commercial paper (US CP) program. Rogers Communications Inc. 9 First Quarter 2026 Our $815 million Canada Infrastructure Bank credit agreement is not included in available liquidity as it can only be drawn upon for use in broadband projects under the Universal Broadband Fund, and therefore is not available for other general purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we borrowed nil (2025 - $28 million) under this facility. As at March 31, 2026 Total sources Drawn Letters of credit US CP progra

All three segments operate substantially in Canada. Corporate items and eliminations include our interests in businesses that are not reportable operating segments, corporate administrative functions, and eliminations of inter-segment revenues and costs. Effective July 2025, TSC was transferred from the Media segment to Corporate Items, consistent with changes to its management structure. Comparative results have been recast to reflect this change, with no impact on consolidated results. We follow the same accounting policies for our segments as those described in note 2 of our 2025 financial statements. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that have been allocated on a reasonable basis. We account for transactions between reportable segments in the same way we account for transactions with external parties, however eliminate them on consolidation. 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.

As a result, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was reduced by $1 million (2025 - $8 million) in the diluted earnings per share calculation. A total of 9,300,841 options were out of the money for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025 - 9,517,854). These options were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive. NOTE 11: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to manage financial risks related to our business activities. These include debt derivatives, interest rate derivatives, expenditure derivatives, and equity derivatives. We only use derivatives to manage risk and not for speculative purposes. All of our currently outstanding debt derivatives related to our senior notes, senior debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities, as well as our expenditure derivatives have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Debt derivatives We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and foreign currency forward contracts (collectively, debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings (see note 15). We typically designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk associated with specific issued and forecast debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings, with the exception of the interest rate swaps acquired in the MLSE Transaction, have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

As at March 31, 2026, we had US$16,661 million (December 31, 2025 - US$15,911 million) in US dollar-denominated debentures, and subordinated notes, of which all of the associated foreign exchange risk had been hedged using debt derivatives, at an average rate of $1.291/US$ (December 31, 2025 - $1.287/US$). In March 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$1 billion 2.95% senior notes and settled the associated debt derivatives at maturity, resulting in $95 million received on settlement of the associated debt derivatives. Lease liabilities Below is a summary of the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our outstanding lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Expenditure derivatives We use foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts (expenditure derivatives) to manage the foreign exchange risk in our operations, designating them as hedges for accounting purposes for certain of our forecast operational and capital expenditures. In 2025, as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we acquired expenditure derivatives and other foreign exchange options that had previously been entered into by MLSE. The other foreign exchange options are effective economic hedges against future US dollar-denominated expenditures; however, they cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in their fair values are recognized in "change in fair value of derivative instruments" in "finance costs". Rogers Communications Inc. 15 First Quarter 2026 The following table provides further details on our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts and options as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The equity derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. As at March 31, 2026, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 6.5 million (December 31, 2025 - 5.5 million) Class B Non- Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $48.11 (December 31, 2025 - $46.81). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we entered into 1 million equity derivatives with a weighted average price of $55.23. In April 2026, we reset the pricing on 0.2 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in net proceeds of $0.6 million. We also executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2027 (from April 2026). The weighted average cost was adjusted to $48.20 per share. Subsidiary equity derivatives We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar-denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis. Cash settlements on debt derivatives and subsidiary equity derivatives Below is a summary of the net proceeds on settlement of debt derivatives and subsidiary equity derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The carrying value of our lease liabilities approximates their fair value because the discount rate used to calculate them Rogers Communications Inc. 16 First Quarter 2026 approximates our current borrowing rate. The carrying values of our financing receivables also approximate their fair values based on our recognition of an expected credit loss allowance. We determine the fair value of our private investments by using implied valuations from follow-on financing rounds, third

- party sale negotiations, or using market-based approaches. These are applied appropriately to each investment depending on its future operating and profitability prospects. The fair values of each of our public debt instruments are based on the period-end estimated market yields, or period-end trading values, where available. We determine the fair values of our debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation by discounting cash flows to the measurement date. In the case of derivatives in an asset position, the credit adjustment for the financial institution counterparty is added to the risk-free value to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value for each derivative. For those derivatives in a liability position, our credit adjustment is added to the risk-free value for each derivative. The fair values of our equity derivatives are based on the period-end quoted market value of Class B Non-Voting Shares. The fair value of the MLSE put liability is estimated using a market-based approach based on the values of the underlying teams and net assets owned by MLSE. Changes in the assumptions related to the team values underlying the valuation could have a material impact on the fair value of the MLSE put liability. 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 March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

The two issuances of subordinated notes due 2056 can be redeemed at par on July 31, 2031, or on any subsequent interest payment date. 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. 2026 In March 2026, we issued two tranches of subordinated notes, consisting of: • US$750 million due 2056 with an initial coupon of 6.875% for the first five years; and • $1.25 billion due 2056 with an initial coupon of 6.250% for the first five years. Concurrent with the US dollar-denominated issuances, we entered into debt derivatives to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. We received net proceeds of $2.3 billion from the issuance, and we used the proceeds to repay debt.
