Exhibit 99.1

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) contains important information about our business and our performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as well as forward-looking information about future periods. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Second Quarter 2022 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Second Quarter 2022 Interim Financial Statements) and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); our 2021 Annual MD&A; our 2021 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB; and our other recent filings with Canadian and US securities regulatory authorities, including our Annual Information Form, which are available on SEDAR at sedar.com or EDGAR at sec.gov, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2022, we changed the way in which we report certain subscriber metrics in both our Wireless and Cable segments such that we began presenting postpaid mobile phone subscribers, prepaid mobile phone subscribers, and mobile phone ARPU in our Wireless segment. We also no longer report blended average billings per unit (ABPU). In Cable, we began presenting retail Internet, Video (formerly Television), Smart Home Monitoring, and Home Phone subscribers. These changes are a result of shifts in the ways in which we manage our business, including the significant adoption of our wireless device financing program, and to better align with industry practices. See "Results of our Reportable Segments" and "Key Performance Indicators" for more information. We have retrospectively amended our 2021 comparative segment results to account for this redefinition.

For more information about Rogers, including product and service offerings, competitive market and industry trends, our overarching strategy, key performance drivers, and objectives, see "Understanding Our Business", "Our Strategy, Key Performance Drivers, and Strategic Highlights", and "Capability to Deliver Results" in our 2021 Annual MD&A.

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.

All dollar amounts in this MD&A are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and are unaudited. All percentage changes are calculated using the rounded numbers as they appear in the tables. This MD&A is current as at July 26, 2022 and was approved by the Audit and Risk Committee of RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on that date. This MD&A includes forward-looking statements and assumptions. See "About Forward-Looking Information" for more information.

We are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: RCI.A and RCI.B) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RCI).

Operating Environment and Strategic Highlights

As immigration levels increase and COVID-19 restrictions have increasingly been relaxed or removed, including travel and capacity restrictions, masking mandates, testing requirements, and vaccine mandates, the Canadian economy recovered modestly. Travel volumes have increased due to fewer international travel restrictions, resulting in higher roaming revenue. Sporting events have been permitted to fill to venue capacity, resulting in greater attendance and game day revenue as we welcomed fans back to Rogers Centre. Additionally, our employees returned to our offices in a hybrid model this quarter.

While the general recovery is encouraging, COVID-19 remains a risk and we will continue to stay focused on keeping our employees safe and our customers connected. Additionally, as a result of increasing inflation and the Bank of Canada's strategy for combating that increase, certain economists are forecasting Canada may enter a moderate recession within the next six to twelve months. We remain confident we have the right team, a strong balance sheet, and the world-class networks that will allow us to maintain our long-term focus on growth and doing the right thing for our customers.

On July 8, 2022, a network outage occurred across both wireless and wireline services following a maintenance update in our core network that caused some of our routers to malfunction. We disconnected the specific equipment and redirected traffic, which allowed our network and services to come back online over time as we managed traffic volumes returning to normal levels. We will strengthen the resilience of our network and continue to make significant investments in our networks to strengthen our technology systems, increase network stability for our customers, and enhance our testing. As a result of the outage, and our promise to customers that we would proactively provide five days of credits on their services, we estimate we will refund approximately $150 million. The amount ultimately refunded will be recognized in our third quarter 2022 financial results. No amount has been recognized in these second quarter 2022 financial results related to the outage.

Rogers Communications Inc. 2 Second Quarter 2022

Our four focus areas 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.

Successfully complete the Shaw acquisition and integration

•Introduced the Advisory Council that will oversee the National Centre of Technology and Engineering Excellence in Calgary (THINKLab), which is expected to create 500 jobs following the close of the acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) (Transaction).

•Canada's Got Talent was Citytv's most-viewed original series in over a decade, reaching more than 7.6 million Canadians over its run.

•Launched Wager Week, a multi-platform introduction to Sportsnet's sports betting content brand, SN Bets, across television, audio, social, digital, and web channels during April.

Improve execution and deliver strong financial performance across all lines of business

•Generated total service revenue of $3,443 million, up 10%; adjusted EBITDA1 of $1,592 million, up 16%; and net income of $409 million, up 35%.

•Attracted 122,000 net postpaid mobile phone subscribers, up from 60,000 last year, with churn of 0.68%.

Rogers Communications Inc. 3 Second Quarter 2022

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 8% and 10%, respectively, this quarter, driven primarily by revenue growth in our Wireless and Media businesses.

Wireless service revenue increased by 11% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher roaming revenue associated with significantly increased travel, as COVID-19-related global travel restrictions were less strict than last year, and a larger postpaid mobile phone subscriber base. Wireless equipment revenue decreased by 6%, as a result of fewer device upgrades by existing subscribers and fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices.

Cable service revenue increased by 3% this quarter, primarily as a result of service pricing changes in the first quarter, and increases in our retail Internet and Video subscriber bases, partially offset by declines in our Home Phone and Smart Home Monitoring subscriber bases.

Media revenue increased by 21% this quarter as a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays™ revenue due to their return to the Rogers Centre™ at the beginning of this season and higher advertising revenue, partially offset by lower Today's Shopping Choice™ revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 16% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 280 basis points primarily due to increases in Wireless, Cable, and Media adjusted EBITDA.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 11%, primarily as a result of the flow-through of revenue growth. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA service margin of 62.4%.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 6%, primarily as a result of the flow-through of revenue growth. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 50.0%.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $77 million this quarter, primarily due to higher revenue as discussed above, partially offset by higher Toronto Blue Jays player payroll and other operating costs as a result of increased activities as COVID-19 restrictions were removed.

Net income and adjusted net income

Net income and adjusted net income increased this quarter by 35% and 20%, respectively, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA partially offset by higher finance costs.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $1,319 million, up 30%, as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA. We also generated free cash flow of $344 million, up 14%, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher interest on borrowings, including borrowings associated with the Transaction.

As at June 30, 2022, we had $3.8 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2021 - $4.2 billion), including $0.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents. We also held $13.1 billion in restricted cash and cash equivalents that will be used to partially fund the cash consideration of the Transaction (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources").

We also returned $252 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on July 26, 2022.

2 Available liquidity is a capital management measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" and "Financial Condition" for more information about this measure.

Rogers Communications Inc. 4 Second Quarter 2022

Shaw Transaction

On March 15, 2021, we announced an agreement with Shaw to acquire all of Shaw's issued and outstanding Class A Participating Shares and Class B Non-Voting Participating Shares for a price of $40.50 per share in cash, with the exception of the shares held by the Shaw Family Living Trust, the controlling shareholder of Shaw, and related persons (Shaw Family Shareholders). The Shaw Family Shareholders will receive 60% of the consideration for their shares in the form of RCI Class B Non-Voting common shares on the basis of the volume-weighted average trading price for such shares for the ten trading days ended March 12, 2021, and the balance in cash. The Transaction is valued at approximately $26 billion, including the assumption of approximately $6 billion of Shaw debt.

The Transaction will be implemented through a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Transaction is subject to other customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable approvals under the Competition Act (Canada) and the Radiocommunication Act (Canada) (collectively, Key Regulatory Approvals). Rogers, Shaw, and the Shaw Family Living Trust have agreed to extend the outside date for the Transaction to December 31, 2022 (which outside date may be further extended to January 31, 2023 at the option of Rogers or Shaw, provided Rogers has committed financing available to complete the Transaction). See "Regulatory Developments".

Financing

In connection with the Transaction, we entered into a binding commitment letter for a committed credit facility with a syndicate of banks in an original amount up to $19 billion. During the second quarter of 2021, we entered into a $6 billion non-revolving credit facility (term loan facility) related to the Transaction, which reduced the amount available under the committed credit facility to $13 billion. During the first quarter of 2022, we issued US$7.05 billion and $4.25 billion of senior notes (Shaw senior note financing), which reduced the amount available under the committed credit facility to nil and the facility was terminated. The arrangement agreement between Rogers and Shaw requires us to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure we are able to fund the Transaction upon closing and, as a result of the termination of the committed credit facility, we have restricted the use of $13,131 million in funds, which are recognized as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our second quarter interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. These funds have been invested in short-term, highly liquid investments such as bank term deposits and Canadian federal and provincial government bonds and are readily convertible to cash. The senior notes (except the $1.25 billion senior notes due 2025) also contain a "special mandatory redemption" provision, which requires them to be redeemed at 101% of face value (plus accrued interest) if the Transaction is not consummated prior to December 31, 2022. See "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" for more information on the committed facility and our restricted cash and cash equivalents balance.

We also expect that RCI will either assume Shaw's senior notes or provide a guarantee of Shaw's payment obligations under those senior notes upon closing the Transaction and, in either case, RCCI will guarantee Shaw's payment obligations under those senior notes.

Regulatory approval status

On March 24, 2022, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved our acquisition of Shaw's broadcasting services, subject to a number of conditions and modifications that are detailed in "Regulatory Developments". The CRTC approval only relates to the broadcasting elements of the Transaction.

On May 9, 2022, the Competition Bureau (Bureau) announced it had filed applications to the Competition Tribunal (Tribunal) opposing the Transaction and requesting an injunction to prevent closing of the Transaction until the Bureau's application to challenge the Transaction could be decided. See "Regulatory Developments".

On June 17, 2022, we announced a divestiture agreement with Shaw and Quebecor Inc. (Quebecor) for the sale of Freedom Mobile Inc. (Freedom) to Quebecor (Freedom Transaction). The agreement provides for the sale of all Freedom-branded wireless and Internet customers and all of Freedom's infrastructure, spectrum licences, and retail locations. The Freedom Transaction also includes long-term agreements to provide transport (including backhaul and backbone), roaming, and other services to Quebecor. Rogers and Quebecor will provide each other with customary transition services as necessary to operate Freedom's business for a reasonable period of time post-closing and to facilitate the separation of Freedom's business from the other businesses and operations of Shaw and its affiliates. The agreement does not contemplate the divestiture of Shaw Mobile-branded wireless subscribers. Under the terms of the agreement, Quebecor has agreed to pay $2.85 billion on a cash-free, debt-free basis.

The Freedom Transaction is conditional, among other things, on the completion of the Transaction, clearance under the Competition Act (Canada), and the approval of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and would close substantially concurrently with closing of the Transaction.

Rogers Communications Inc. 5 Second Quarter 2022

Rogers and Shaw intend to continue to seek opportunities to work constructively with the Bureau in an effort to reach a negotiated settlement, which offers the most expeditious path forward to closing the Transaction and delivering its benefits to Canadians.

The Transaction continues to be reviewed by the Bureau and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED Canada).

Service revenue

The 11% increase in service revenue this quarter and 9% increase year to date were primarily a result of:

•higher roaming revenue associated with significantly increased travel as COVID-19-related global travel restrictions were less strict than last year; and

•a larger mobile phone subscriber base.

The 6% increase in mobile phone ARPU this quarter and 4% increase year to date were a result of the increased roaming revenue.

The increase in postpaid gross additions and the higher postpaid net additions this quarter and year to date were a result of strong execution and an increase in market activity by Canadians and increasing immigration levels with the continuing improvement of the economy as the COVID-19 environment improved.

Rogers Communications Inc. 8 Second Quarter 2022

Equipment revenue

The 6% decrease in equipment revenue this quarter and 8% decrease year to date were a result of:

•fewer device upgrades by existing customers; and

•fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices; partially offset by

•lower promotional activity due to the increase in market activity.

Operating expenses

Cost of equipment

The 4% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter and 6% decrease year to date were a result of:

•fewer device upgrades by existing customers; and

•fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices.

Other operating expenses

The 9% increase in other operating expenses this quarter and 8% increase year to date were primarily a result of higher costs associated with the increased revenue, including increased roaming.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 11% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and 9% increase year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

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

The 3% increase in service revenue this quarter and 2% increase year to date were a result of:

•service pricing changes in the first quarter; and

•the increase in total customer relationships over the past year, due to growth in our retail Internet and Video subscriber bases; partially offset by

•declines in our Home Phone and Smart Home Monitoring subscriber bases.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses this quarter were in line with prior year. The 5% decrease in operating expenses year to date was primarily a result of cost efficiencies, including lower content-related costs, partially due to negotiation of certain content rates with suppliers, and lower people-related costs.

Revenue

The 21% increase in revenue this quarter and 16% increase in revenue year to date were a result of:

•higher Toronto Blue Jays revenue, primarily as a result of the return of home games to the Rogers Centre at the beginning of the season; and

•higher advertising revenue; partially offset by

•lower Today's Shopping Choice revenue.

In addition to the items above, the year to date increase was a result of negotiation of certain content rates.

Operating expenses

The 6% increase in operating expenses this quarter and 8% increase year to date were a result of:

•higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including player payroll, and game day costs due to the return to the Rogers Centre; and

•higher production and other general operating costs as a result of increased activities as COVID-19 restrictions were removed.

Adjusted EBITDA

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

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    Capital intensity is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for an explanation as to the composition of this measure.

One of our focus areas for the year is to deliver world-class connectivity to Canadian consumers and businesses. To do this, we expect to spend more on our wireless and wireline networks this year than we have in the past several years. This year, we will continue to roll out our 5G network, the largest 5G network in Canada, across the country. We will also continue to invest in fibre deployments, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), in our cable network and we will expand our network footprint to reach more homes and businesses. As a result of the network outage in July 2022, we will direct capital expenditures to strengthen the resilience of our networks and we will continue to make significant investments in our networks to strengthen our technology systems, increase network stability for our customers, and enhance our testing.

These investments will help us bridge the digital divide and expand our network to underserved areas through participation in various programs and projects. To connect these underserved areas, we are deploying unified access transport technology, which allows wireline and wireless networks to converge over a unified Internet protocol and optical transport network.

Wireless

The increases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year to date were a result of investments made to upgrade our wireless network. We deployed 3500 MHz spectrum licences in several cities across Canada, including, among others, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Halifax. We continued to emphasize our 5G deployments in the 600 MHz band and preparing our network to deploy more 3500 MHz spectrum licences later this year.

Cable

The increases in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and year to date reflect continued investments in our network infrastructure, including additional fibre deployments to increase our FTTH distribution. These upgrades will lower the number of homes passed per node and incorporate the latest technologies to help deliver more bandwidth and an even more engaging 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, to offer increased download speeds over time.

Media

The decreases in capital expenditures in Media this quarter and year to date were primarily a result of lower broadcast infrastructure expenditures, relating to investments in new production studios.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity was stable this quarter. Capital intensity increased year to date as a result of higher capital expenditures, partially offset by higher revenue, as discussed above.

Restructuring, acquisition and other

This quarter and year to date, we incurred $71 million and $167 million (2021 - $115 million and $160 million), respectively, in restructuring, acquisition and other expenses, which included $32 million and $91 million (2021 - $24 million and $30 million), respectively, of incremental costs supporting acquisition and integration activities related to the Transaction, including certain costs related to the committed credit facility (which was terminated during the first quarter). The remaining costs in 2022 were primarily severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base. In 2021, the remaining costs consisted of severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base, certain contract termination costs, and other costs.

Rogers Communications Inc. 14 Second Quarter 2022

The 83% increase in interest on borrowings, net this quarter and the 54% increase year to date were a result of new debt issued, primarily associated with the completion of our long-term financing for the Transaction, and to support our acquisition of 3500 MHz spectrum licences in late 2021, including:

•the issuance of $2 billion subordinated notes in December 2021;

•the issuance of US$750 million subordinated notes in February 2022; and

•the issuance of $4.25 billion and US$7.05 billion senior notes in March 2022.

Operating activities

The 30% increase and 26% increase in cash provided by operating activities this quarter and year to date, respectively, were primarily a result of higher adjusted EBITDA as well as the impact of lower income taxes paid.

Investing activities

Capital expenditures

During the quarter and year to date, we incurred $778 million and $1,427 million, respectively, on capital expenditures before changes in non-cash working capital items. See "Capital Expenditures" for more information.

Rogers Communications Inc. 16 Second Quarter 2022

Financing activities

During the quarter and year to date, we paid net amounts of $472 million and received $13,099 million (2021 - paid $39 million and $1,469 million), respectively, on our short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and related derivatives, net of transaction costs paid. The year to date receipts reflect new debt issued primarily associated with the completion of our long-term financing for the Transaction. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information on the cash flows relating to our derivative instruments.

Short-term borrowings

Our short-term borrowings consist of amounts outstanding under our receivables securitization program, our short-term non-revolving credit facilities, and our US dollar-denominated commercial paper (US CP) program. Below is a summary of our short-term borrowings as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Rogers Communications Inc. 17 Second Quarter 2022

In March 2022, we amended the terms of our receivables securitization program and increased the maximum potential proceeds under the program from $1.2 billion to $1.8 billion. In May 2022, we further amended the terms of the program and increased the maximum potential proceeds to $2 billion. We will continue to service the receivables and they will continue to be recorded as accounts receivable or financing receivables, as applicable, on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

The terms of our receivables securitization program are committed until its expiry on December 22, 2023. The buyer's interest in these receivables ranks ahead of our interest. The buyer of our receivables has no further claim on any of our other assets.

Concurrent with our US CP issuances, we entered into debt derivatives to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with the principal and interest components of the borrowings. See "Financial Risk Management" for more information.

In March 2021, in connection with the Transaction, we entered into a binding commitment letter for a committed credit facility with a syndicate of banks in an original amount up to $19 billion. As a result of entering into the $6 billion term loan facility related to the Transaction during the second quarter of 2021, the maximum amount we could have drawn on this committed facility decreased to $13 billion. Subsequently, as a result of issuing US$7.05 billion ($9.05 billion) and $4.25 billion senior notes (see "Long-term debt" below) during the first quarter of 2022, the maximum amount we could have drawn decreased to nil and the facility was terminated.

Long-term debt

Our long-term debt consists of amounts outstanding under our bank and letter of credit facilities and the senior notes, debentures, and subordinated notes we have issued. The tables below summarize the activity relating to our long-term debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

In the first quarter, we entered into a $665 million senior unsecured non-revolving credit facility with a fixed 1% interest rate with the Canada Infrastructure Bank. The credit facility can only be drawn upon to finance broadband service expansion projects to underserved communities under the Universal Broadband Fund. As at June 30, 2022, we had not drawn on the credit facility.

In April 2021, we entered into a $6 billion term loan facility related to the Transaction consisting of three tranches of $2 billion each. The facility cannot be drawn upon until the closing date of the Transaction. The first tranche matures three years after the Transaction closing date and subsequent tranches mature in years four and five thereafter, respectively. At tranche maturity, any outstanding borrowings under that tranche must be repaid. In May 2022, we extended the drawdown period of the term loan facility to December 31, 2022.

In April 2021, we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the total credit limit and extend the maturity dates. We increased the total credit limit from $3.2 billion to $4 billion by increasing the limits of the two tranches to $3 billion and $1 billion (from $2.5 billion and $700 million), respectively. We also extended the maturity date of the $3 billion tranche to April 2026 and the $1 billion tranche to April 2024, both from March 2022.

Issuance of senior and subordinated notes and related debt derivatives

Below is a summary of the senior and subordinated notes we issued year to date. We did not issue senior or subordinated notes in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

1    Gross proceeds before transaction costs, discounts, and premiums.

2    Transaction costs, discounts, and premiums are included as deferred transaction costs and discounts in the carrying value of the long-term debt, and recognized in net income using the effective interest method.

3    Deferred transaction costs and discounts (if any) in the carrying value of the subordinated notes are recognized in net income using the effective interest method over a five-year period. The subordinated notes due 2082 can be redeemed at par on March 15, 2027 or on any subsequent interest payment date.

4    The US$1 billion senior notes due 2025 can be redeemed at par on or after March 15, 2023.

In February 2022, we issued US$750 million subordinated notes due 2082 with an initial coupon of 5.25% for the first five years. Upon the occurrence of certain events involving a bankruptcy or insolvency of RCI, the outstanding principal and interest of such subordinated notes would automatically convert into preferred shares. Concurrently, we terminated $950 million of interest rate derivatives entered into in 2021 to hedge the interest rate risk associated with future debt issuances. Concurrent with the issuance, we also entered into debt derivatives to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. As a result, we received net proceeds of US$740 million ($938 million) from the issuance.

Rogers Communications Inc. 19 Second Quarter 2022

In March 2022, we issued the Shaw senior note financing in order to partially finance the cash consideration for the Transaction. Each of the notes (except the $1.25 billion senior notes due 2025) contains a "special mandatory redemption" provision, which requires them to be redeemed at 101% of face value (plus accrued interest) if the Transaction is not consummated prior to December 31, 2022. At the same time, we terminated the committed credit facility we had arranged in March 2021. The arrangement agreement between Rogers and Shaw requires us to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure we are able to fund the Transaction upon closing and as such, we have recognized the net proceeds as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

Concurrent with the Shaw senior note financing, we terminated US$2 billion of interest rate swap derivatives, $500 million of bond forwards, and $2.3 billion of interest rate swap derivatives entered into in 2021 to hedge the interest rate risk associated with future debt issuances. Concurrent with the US dollar-denominated issuances, we also entered into debt derivatives to convert all interest and principal payment obligations to Canadian dollars. As a result, we received net proceeds of US$6.95 billion ($8.93 billion) from the US dollar-denominated issuances.

Repayment of senior notes and related derivative settlements

In June 2022, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our $600 million 4.00% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

In March 2022, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$750 million floating rate senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity. As a result, we repaid $1,019 million, including $75 million on settlement of the associated debt derivatives.

In March 2021, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our $1.45 billion 5.34% senior notes at maturity. There were no derivatives associated with these senior notes.

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.

In addition to the sources of available liquidity noted above, we held $1,339 million of securities in publicly traded companies as at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $1,581 million).

Our restricted cash and cash equivalents are not included in available liquidity as the funds were raised solely to fund a portion of the cash consideration of the Transaction or, if unable to be consummated, to be used to redeem the applicable senior notes, and therefore are not available for other purposes. Our $6 billion term loan facility related to the Transaction is also not included in available liquidity as we can only draw on that facility to partially fund the Transaction. Our Canada Infrastructure Bank credit agreement (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources") 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.

Weighted average cost of borrowings

Our weighted average cost of borrowings was 4.26% as at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 3.95%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 12.3 years (December 31, 2021 - 11.6 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on the five-year anniversary.

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 June 30, 2022.

Issuance	S&P Global Ratings Services	Moody's	Fitch	DBRS Morningstar
Corporate credit issuer default rating	BBB+ CreditWatch Negative	Baa1 under review	BBB+ Rating Watch Negative	BBB (high), Under Review with Negative Implications
Senior unsecured debt	BBB+ CreditWatch Negative	Baa1 under review	BBB+ Rating Watch Negative	BBB (high), Under Review with Negative Implications
Subordinated debt	BBB- CreditWatch Negative	Baa3 under review	BBB- Rating Watch Negative	BBB (high), Under Review with Negative Implications
US commercial paper	A-2 CreditWatch Negative	P-2 under review	N/A 1	N/A 1

1    We have not sought a rating from Fitch or DBRS Morningstar for our short-term obligations.

As a result of our agreement to acquire Shaw and the related commitments in connection with the Transaction, each of these rating agencies has put our credit rating under review. We expect each of these rating agencies to complete their reviews upon closing of the Transaction. See "Shaw Transaction" for more information on our agreement with Shaw and the Transaction.

Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio

We use adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio to conduct valuation-related analysis and make capital structure-related decisions. Adjusted net debt includes long-term debt, net debt derivative assets or liabilities, short-term borrowings, lease liabilities, and cash and cash equivalents or bank advances.

	As at June 30	As at December 31
(In millions of dollars, except ratios)	2022	2021
Long-term debt 1	31,796	18,873
Subordinated notes adjustment 2	(1,483)	(1,000)
Net debt derivative assets valued without any adjustment for credit risk 3	(1,387)	(1,278)
Short-term borrowings	2,836	2,200
Lease liabilities	1,997	1,957
Cash and cash equivalents	(665)	(715)
Restricted cash and cash equivalents 4	(13,131)	—
Adjusted net debt 2,5	19,963	20,037
Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA	6,253	5,887
Debt leverage ratio 5	3.2	3.4

1    Includes current and long-term portion of long-term debt before deferred transaction costs and discounts.

2    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.

3    For purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we believe including debt derivatives valued without adjustment for credit risk is commonly used to evaluate debt leverage and for market valuation and transactional purposes.

4    For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt, we have deducted our restricted cash and cash equivalents as these funds were raised solely to fund a portion of the cash consideration of the Transaction or, if unable to be consummated, be used to redeem the applicable senior notes excluding any premium. We therefore believe including only the underlying senior notes would not represent our view of adjusted net debt prior to the consummation of the Transaction or the redemption of the senior notes.

5    Adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about these measures.

Financial Risk Management

This section should be read in conjunction with "Financial Risk Management" in our 2021 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 91.6% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 89.3%).

Debt derivatives

We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and forward foreign exchange agreements (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 US dollar-denominated notes due 2025 and our credit facility and US CP borrowings 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

2    The derivatives associated with our US$1 billion senior notes due 2025 have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

In March 2022, we repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of our US$750 million floating rate senior notes and the associated debt derivatives at maturity, resulting in a repayment of $1,019 million, including $75 million on settlement of the associated debt derivatives.

As at June 30, 2022, we had US$16,100 million (December 31, 2021 - US$9,050 million) in US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, and subordinated notes, of which all of the associated foreign exchange risk had been hedged economically using debt derivatives.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the issuance of the US$2 billion senior notes due 2052, we terminated US$2 billion notional amount of forward starting cross-currency swaps and received $43 million upon settlement. As at June 30, 2022, we had no forward starting cross-currency swaps outstanding (December 31, 2021 - US$2 billion).

See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our debt derivatives.

Rogers Communications Inc. 27 Second Quarter 2022

Interest rate derivatives

From time to time, we use bond forward derivatives or interest rate swap derivatives (collectively, interest rate derivatives) to hedge interest rate risk on current and future debt instruments. Our interest rate derivatives are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Concurrent with our issuance of US$750 million subordinated notes in February 2022, we terminated $950 million of interest rate swap derivatives and received $33 million upon settlement.

Concurrent with our issuance of US$7.05 billion ($9.05 billion) and $4.25 billion senior notes in March 2022, we terminated:

•US$2 billion of interest rate swap derivatives and paid US$129 million ($165 million) upon settlement; and

•$500 million of bond forwards and $2.3 billion of interest rate swap derivatives and received $80 million upon settlement.

As at June 30, 2022, we had no interest rate derivatives outstanding.

See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our interest rate 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.

Below is a summary of the expenditure derivatives we entered into and settled during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

	Three months ended June 30, 2022			Six months ended June 30, 2022

As at June 30, 2022, we had US$1,440 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2021 - US$1,068 million) with terms to maturity ranging from July 2022 to December 2023 (December 31, 2021 - January 2022 to December 2023) at an average rate of $1.263/US$ (December 31, 2021 - $1.287/US$).

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 June 30, 2022, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 5.0 million (December 31, 2021 - 5.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $53.10 (December 31, 2021 - $53.10).

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into 0.4 million equity derivatives with a weighted average price of $60.98. We reset the weighted average price to $59.64 on 0.5 million equity derivatives and received net proceeds of $3 million. At the same time, we reset the expiry dates on certain of our equity derivatives to April 2023 (from April 2021).

Rogers Communications Inc. 28 Second Quarter 2022

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we executed extension agreements for the remainder of our equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2023 (from April 2022).

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

See our 2021 Annual MD&A for a summary of our obligations under firm contractual arrangements, including commitments for future payments under long-term debt arrangements and lease arrangements. These are also discussed in notes 17, 21, and 28 of our 2021 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Except where otherwise disclosed in this MD&A, there have been no other material changes to our material contractual obligations, as identified in our 2021 Annual MD&A, since December 31, 2021.

Regulatory Developments

See our 2021 Annual MD&A for a discussion of the significant regulations that affected our operations as at March 3, 2022. The following are the significant regulatory developments since that date.

Matters associated with network outage

On July 11, 2022, in response to the network outage that occurred on July 8, 2022, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry announced he had directed the major telecommunications companies in Canada to improve the resilience and reliability of their networks by ensuring formal arrangements are in place within 60 days that will address (i) emergency roaming, (ii) mutual assistance during outages, and (iii) a communication protocol to better inform the public and authorities during telecommunications emergencies.

Further, on July 12, 2022, the CRTC issued a request for information asking us to respond to detailed questions and provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the network outage. The CRTC has requested a detailed account as to why and how this network outage happened, as well as what measures we will put in place to prevent future outages. On July 22, 2022, we provided responses to the CRTC's questions.

On July 15, 2022, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology announced it will study the network outage, including the underlying causes and its impact on families, consumers, and businesses. The committee held meetings during July 2022 during which representatives from Rogers, amongst others, appeared.

3800 MHz spectrum licence auction

On June 30, 2022, ISED Canada released its Policy and Licensing Framework for Spectrum in the 3800 MHz Band, laying out the rules for the upcoming auction. The 3800 MHz band, along with the 3500 MHz band that was auctioned in 2021, is key to supporting strong 5G networks. The auction is expected to begin in October 2023. The rules include measures such as (i) imposing a 100 MHz cap on large national providers (i.e. Rogers, Bell, and Telus) as to how much combined 3500 MHz and 3800 MHz spectrum they can acquire; (ii) reserving a total of 150 MHz

Rogers Communications Inc. 30 Second Quarter 2022

across the 3500 MHz and 3800 MHz spectrum bands for smaller competitors; and (iii) implementing strong deployment requirements requiring spectrum won at auction to be deployed within a certain timeframe or risk losing the licences.

Competition Bureau review of the Transaction

On May 9, 2022, the Bureau announced it had filed applications to the Tribunal challenging the Transaction and requesting an injunction to prevent closing of the Transaction until the Bureau's application to challenge the Transaction can be decided. The Bureau's concerns relate to the impact of the Transaction on competition for wireless services in Canada. More specifically, the Bureau alleges that the Transaction would significantly decrease competition in the wireless market in Canada. On May 30, 2022, Rogers and Shaw agreed with the Bureau that we would not seek to close the Transaction until we reached an agreement with the Bureau or the Tribunal rules in our favour. On June 3, 2022, Rogers and Shaw filed responses opposing the Bureau's application to challenge the Transaction, including a proposal for a full divestiture of Freedom Mobile (as subsequently agreed to with Quebecor through the proposed Freedom Transaction), which would allow a strong fourth wireless carrier to be maintained.

While the Freedom Transaction provides the basis to explore settlement negotiations with the Bureau, Rogers and Shaw are also taking the necessary steps to oppose the Bureau's application to challenge the Transaction. On June 16, 2022, the Bureau filed its reply to our June 3 responses. On June 17, 2022, the Tribunal issued an order setting the schedule for its consideration of the Bureau's application. Should it be required, the Tribunal hearing is expected to occur in November and December 2022.

On June 23, 2022, Rogers and Shaw confirmed to the Tribunal that we intended to mediate in the first scheduled mediation period, July 4 and 5, 2022. The early mediation did not result in a resolution of the Bureau's concerns about the Transaction.

On July 4, 2022, the Attorney General of Alberta announced that it will intervene in the Tribunal proceedings and that it was not taking a position at this time. On July 8, 2022, Videotron Ltd. filed a motion seeking intervenor status in the Tribunal litigation to support Rogers' and Shaw's positions.

CRTC review of the Transaction

On March 24, 2022, the CRTC approved our acquisition of Shaw's broadcasting services, subject to a number of conditions and modifications, including:

•the contribution of $27.2 million in benefits to the broadcasting system through various initiatives and funds, including those that support the production of content by Indigenous producers and members of equity-seeking groups;

•annual reporting on our commitments to increase our support for local news, including by employing more journalists at our Citytv™ stations across the country and by producing an additional 48 news specials each year that reflect local communities;

•the distribution of at least 45 independent English- and French-language services on each of our cable and satellite services; and

•safeguards to ensure that cable providers relying on signals delivered by us will continue to be able to serve their communities, including those in rural and remote areas.

On April 27, 2022, the National Pensioners Federation and Public Interest Advocacy Centre (NPF-PIAC) filed a petition to the federal Cabinet requesting the CRTC decision be set aside or referred back to the CRTC for reconsideration and hearing. On June 22, 2022, Cabinet declined to consider the NPF-PIAC petition.

The CRTC approval only relates to the broadcasting elements of the Transaction. The Transaction continues to be reviewed by the Bureau and ISED Canada.

Updates to Risks and Uncertainties

See our 2021 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 3, 2022, which should be reviewed in conjunction with this MD&A. The following factors may contribute to those risks and uncertainties.

Shaw Transaction

The Transaction with Shaw is subject to a number of additional risks that are disclosed in our 2021 Annual MD&A, many of which are outside the control of Rogers and Shaw. Updates and additions to these risks are described below.

Rogers Communications Inc. 31 Second Quarter 2022

Key Regulatory Approvals and other conditions

In connection with obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals, divestitures and/or other actions are expected to be required by the relevant regulatory or governmental authorities. To that end, Rogers, Shaw, and Quebecor announced the Freedom Transaction on June 17, 2022. The Freedom Transaction is subject to clearance under the Competition Act and approval by ISED Canada and is conditional on our ability to close the Transaction. If the Bureau does not approve the Freedom Transaction as currently contemplated, the likelihood of reaching a negotiated settlement with the Bureau will be significantly reduced, in which case we will only be permitted to close the Transaction if we are successful in opposing the Bureau's application to the Tribunal and in obtaining ISED Canada approval for the transfer of spectrum licences.

Although we believe the Bureau's application should be dismissed by the Tribunal, the outcome of a Tribunal hearing, including any associated appeals, is inherently uncertain and could (i) significantly delay either the closing or termination of the Transaction or (ii) prevent the closing of the Transaction entirely, in each case with a corresponding material, adverse impact to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The time required to address the Bureau's concerns and agree on the terms of a negotiated settlement with the Bureau (or any associated litigation, including the Tribunal hearing), as well as to obtain ISED Canada approval, and any appeals of the outcomes of these processes, is uncertain and could result in further delays in, or prevent, the closing of the Transaction.

Replacement or extension of existing financing for the Transaction

In order to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the Transaction, we have issued $13.3 billion of senior notes. Each of these senior notes (except the $1.25 billion notes due 2025) contains a "special mandatory redemption" provision, which requires them to be redeemed at 101% of face value (plus accrued interest) if, among other things, the Transaction is not consummated prior to December 31, 2022. In order to maintain the necessary funding to pay for the Transaction if closing was to be delayed beyond this outside date, we may need to (i) replace all or a portion of the applicable senior notes with alternative sources of funding or (ii) obtain a consent from the holders of the applicable senior notes to extend the outside date for consummating the Transaction in the special mandatory redemption provisions. The adverse impact on our financial condition and cash flows from any such action may be material and there is no guarantee we would be able to obtain alternative sources of funding or the necessary consents, as applicable, on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

July 2022 network outage

As a result of the network outage that occurred on July 8, 2022, three applications were filed in the Quebec Superior Court seeking authorization to commence a class action against Rogers in relation to this network outage. Each application seeks to institute a class action on behalf of all persons in Quebec who, among other things, experienced a wireless or wireline service interruption as a result of, or were otherwise impacted by, the outage. Each application also claims various damages, including, among others, contractual damages, damages for lost profits, and punitive damages.

At this time, we are unable to assess the likelihood of success of the above applications, or predict the magnitude of any liability we might incur by virtue of the claims underlying those applications or any corresponding or similar claims that may be brought against us in the future. As such, we have not recognized a liability for this contingency. If successful, one or more of those claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results, or financial condition. It is also possible that similar or corresponding claims could be filed in other jurisdictions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See our 2021 Annual MD&A and our 2021 Annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for a discussion of the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our business operations and the results of our operations.

New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2022

We adopted the following accounting amendments that were effective for our interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2022. The adoption of these standards have not had a material impact on our financial results.

•Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations - Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework, updating a reference in IFRS 3 to now refer to the Conceptual Framework.

•Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use, prohibiting reducing the cost of property, plant and equipment by proceeds while bringing an asset to capable operations.

Rogers Communications Inc. 32 Second Quarter 2022

•Amendments to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - Onerous Contracts, specifying costs an entity should include in determining the "cost of fulfilling" a potential onerous contract.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The IASB has issued the following new standard and amendments to existing standards that will become effective in future years:

•IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, a replacement of IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, that aims to provide consistency in the application of accounting for insurance contracts (January 1, 2023).

•Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, clarifying the classification requirements in the standard for liabilities as current or non-current (effective date to be determined).

•Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Disclosure of Accounting Policies, requiring entities to disclose material, instead of significant, accounting policy information (January 1, 2023).

•Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies - Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, clarifying the definition of "accounting policies" and "accounting estimates" (January 1, 2023).

•Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, narrowing the scope for exemption when recognizing deferred taxes (January 1, 2023).

We do not expect IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, or the amendments to existing standards to have any material impacts on our consolidated financial statements.

Transactions with related parties

We have entered into business transactions with Dream Unlimited Corp. (Dream), which is controlled by our Director Michael J. Cooper. Dream is a real estate company that rents spaces in office and residential buildings. Total amounts paid to Dream were nominal for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

We have also entered into certain transactions with our controlling shareholder and companies it controls. These transactions are subject to formal agreements approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. Total amounts paid to these related parties generally reflect the charges to Rogers for occasional business use of aircraft, net of other administrative services, and were less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

We recognized these transactions at the amounts agreed to by the related parties, which were also reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee. The amounts owing for these services were unsecured, interest-free, and generally due for payment in cash within one month of the date of the transaction.

Controls and procedures

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting this quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Seasonality

Our operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of our reportable segments. This means our results in one quarter are not necessarily indicative of how we will perform in a future quarter. Wireless, Cable, and Media each have unique seasonal aspects to, and certain other historical trends in, their businesses. For specific discussions of the seasonal trends affecting our reportable segments, refer to our 2021 Annual MD&A.

Key Performance Indicators

We measure the success of our strategy using a number of key performance indicators that are defined and discussed in our 2021 Annual MD&A and this MD&A. 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 non-GAAP or other 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 33 Second Quarter 2022

Effective January 1, 2022, we are disclosing mobile phone subscribers in Wireless, which represent devices with voice-only or voice-and-data plans. Our previous definition included devices on data-only plans and customers who subscribe to our wireless home phone service. As a result, our definition of ARPU has also shifted to mobile phone ARPU. We also no longer report blended ABPU given the significant adoption of our wireless device financing program resulting in this metric being less meaningful.

In Cable, we have adjusted our definition of an Internet subscriber such that it only includes retail Internet subscribers, representing customers who have Internet service installed and operating, and are being billed directly by us. Our previous definition included third-party Internet access subscribers and Smart Home Monitoring subscribers. We also began reporting Video (consisting of Ignite TV and legacy Television subscribers), Smart Home Monitoring, and Home Phone subscribers in separate categories. Our updated definitions are as follows:

Subscriber counts

Subscriber count (Wireless)

•A wireless subscriber is represented by each identifiable telephone number.

•We report wireless subscribers in two categories: postpaid mobile phone and prepaid mobile phone. Postpaid and prepaid include voice-only subscribers and subscribers with service plans including both voice and data.

•Usage and overage charges for postpaid subscribers are billed a month in arrears. Prepaid subscribers cannot incur usage and/or overage charges in excess of their plan limits or account balance.

•Wireless prepaid subscribers are considered active for a period of 90 days from the date of their last revenue-generating usage.

Subscriber count (Cable)

•Cable retail Internet, Video, and Smart Home Monitoring subscribers are represented by a dwelling unit; Cable Home Phone subscribers are represented by line counts.

•When there is more than one unit in a single dwelling, such as an apartment building, each tenant with cable service is counted as an individual subscriber, whether the service is invoiced separately or included in the tenant's rent. Institutional units, such as hospitals or hotels, are each considered one subscriber.

•Cable retail Internet, Video, Smart Home Monitoring, and Home Phone subscribers include only those subscribers who have service installed and operating, and who are being billed accordingly.

•Subscriber counts exclude certain business services delivered over our fibre network and data centre infrastructure, and circuit-switched local and long distance voice services and legacy data services where access is delivered using leased third-party network elements and tariffed ILEC services.

Mobile phone average revenue per user (Wireless)

Mobile phone ARPU helps us identify trends and measure our success in attracting and retaining higher-value subscribers. 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 34 Second Quarter 2022

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
