which will enable it to build out its network within budget, offer customers service of the highest quality across Canada and the United States, and limit the proliferation of towers in Québec. Meanwhile, in our News Media segment, the restructuring programs and other cost reduction initiatives launched in late 2008 have already generated estimated savings of $25.0 million in the first half of 2009. They are expected to yield still greater savings in the second half of the year.”

Analysis of second quarter 2009 results
  Quebecor’s revenues decreased $2.9 million (-0.3%) to $939.4 million.
    Revenues increased in the following segments: Telecommunications (by $39.9 million or 8.9% of segment revenues) mainly because of customer growth for all services; Leisure and Entertainment ($4.5 million or 7.1%); and Broadcasting ($0.5 million or 0.5%).
 
    Revenues decreased in News Media (by $49.5 million or -15.6%) almost entirely as a result of lower advertising revenues.
  Operating income increased $39.0 million (14.1%) to $315.9 million, due primarily to an increase in the Telecommunications segment ($50.5 million or 27.7% of segment operating income) resulting mainly from customer growth. Operating income more than doubled in the Leisure and Entertainment segment, rising $2.7 million. Operating income decreased $18.1 million (-24.6%) in News Media.
 
    The increase in operating income includes a $21.6 million favourable variance (including $16.7 million in the Telecommunications segment and $4.9 million in the Broadcasting segment) related to retroactive recognition in the second quarter of 2008 of a provision for Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) Part II licence fees.
 
  Quebecor’s net income totalled $76.8 million ($1.19 per basic share), compared with $57.5 million ($0.90 per basic share) in the same period of 2008, an increase of $19.3 million (33.6%).
    The increase was mainly due to:
    $39.0 million increase in operating income;
 
    $17.1 million decrease in financial expenses.
      Offset by:

    recognition in the second quarter of 2009 of a $13.6 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets;
 
    $13.5 million unfavourable variance in the gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments;
 
    $7.5 million increase in non-controlling interest;
 
    $5.5 million increase in amortization charge.
  Adjusted income from continuing operating activities: $56.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 ($0.88 per basic share), compared with $41.5 million ($0.65 per basic share) in the same period of 2008, an increase of $14.8 million ($0.23 per basic share), or 35.7%.
Analysis of year-to-date results
  Quebecor’s revenues increased $16.2 million (0.9%) to $1.84 billion.
    Revenues increased in the following segments: Telecommunications (by $86.8 million or 9.9% of segment revenues), Leisure and Entertainment ($6.0 million or 4.8%), Broadcasting ($3.8 million or 1.7%) and Interactive Technologies and Communications ($2.3 million or 5.2%).
 
    Revenues decreased in News Media (by $82.1 million or -13.8%).
  Operating income increased $54.5 million (10.2%) to $588.1 million, due primarily to an increase in the Telecommunications segment ($77.5 million or 20.5% of segment operating income). Operating income decreased in News Media (by $34.4 million or -28.7%).
 
  Quebecor’s year-to-date net income totalled $134.5 million ($2.09 per basic share) compared with $485.9 million ($7.56 per basic share) in the same period of 2008.
    Favourable variances in the following items:
    $54.5 million increase in operating income;
 
    $30.1 million decrease in financial expenses;
 
    $18.4 million decrease in income tax expense.
      Outweighed by:
    recognition in the first quarter of 2008 of income from discontinued operations in the amount of $383.3 million;
 
    $29.5 million increase in non-controlling interest;
 
    recognition in the first half of 2009 of $13.6 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets;
 
    $13.1 million increase in amortization charge;
 
    $13.0 million unfavourable variance in the gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments.
  Adjusted income from continuing operating activities: $99.4 million in the first half of 2009 ($1.55 per basic share), compared with $76.1 million ($1.19 per basic share) in the same period of 2008, an increase of $23.3 million ($0.36 per basic share) or 30.6%.

DEFINITIONS
Operating income
In its analysis of operating results, the Company defines operating income or loss, as reconciled to net income under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”), as net income before amortization, financial expenses, gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations and other special items, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, income tax, non-controlling interest and the results of discontinued operations. Operating income as defined above is not a measure of results that is consistent with Canadian GAAP. It is not intended to be regarded as an alternative to other financial operating performance measures or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Management believes that operating income is a meaningful measure of performance. The Company uses operating income in order to assess the performance of its investment in Quebecor Media. The Company’s management and Board of Directors use this measure in evaluating its consolidated results as well as the results of the Company’s operating segments. This measure eliminates the significant level of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets and is unaffected by the capital structure or investment activities of the Company and its segments. Operating income is also relevant because it is a significant component of the Company’s annual incentive compensation programs. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s segments. The Company also uses other measures that do reflect such costs, such as cash flows from segment operations and free cash flows from operations. In addition, measures such as operating income are commonly used by the investment community to analyze and compare the performance of companies in the industries in which the Company is engaged. The Company’s definition of operating income may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Table 2 below reconciles Quebecor’s operating income with the closest Canadian GAAP measure.

Adjusted income from continuing operating activities
The Company defines adjusted income from continuing operating activities, as reconciled to net income under Canadian GAAP, as net income before gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations and other special items, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and the results of discontinued operations, net of income tax and non-controlling interest. Adjusted income from continuing operating activities as defined above is not a measure of results that is consistent with Canadian GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Management believes that adjusted income from continuing operating activities is a meaningful measure that provides an indication of the long-term profitability of the Company’s operating activities by eliminating the impact of unusual or one-time items. The Company’s definition of adjusted income from continuing operating activities may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Table 3 provides a reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operating activities to the net income measure used in the consolidated financial statements of Quebecor.

Average Monthly Revenue per User
ARPU is an industry metric that the Company uses to measure its average cable, Internet, cable telephone and wireless telephone revenues per month per customer. ARPU is not a measurement that is consistent with Canadian GAAP and the Company’s definition and calculation of ARPU may not be the same as identically titled measurements reported by other companies. The Company calculates ARPU by dividing its combined cable television, Internet access, cable telephone and wireless telephone revenues by the average number of customers during the applicable period, and then dividing the resulting amount by the number of months in the applicable period.

Note to Investors
Note to Investors
Investors should note that this Supplementary Disclosure document presents financial information for Quebecor Inc. on a consolidated basis as well as for Quebecor Media Inc. and two of its reporting segments: Telecommunications and News Media. The financial figures included in this document are reported in Canadian dollars.
Detailed Financial Information
For a detailed analysis of Quebecor Inc.’s results for the second quarter of 2009, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis and consolidated financial statements of Quebecor Inc., available on the Company’s website at http://www.quebecor.com/InvestorCenter/QIQuarterlyReports.aspx or from the SEDAR filing service at http://www.sedar.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) to assess its financial performance. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating income (EBITDA), adjusted income from continuing operating activities, cash flows from segment operations, free cash flows from operations and average revenue per user (“ARPU”), because the Company believes that they are meaningful measures of its performance. Its method of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies and, as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies. We refer investors to our second quarter of 2009 Management Discussion and Analysis under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a complete description of these measures as well as a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
