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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, as well as forward-looking information about future periods. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Third Quarter 2022 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Third 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 November 8, 2022 and was approved by 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).

In this MD&A, this quarter, the quarter, or third quarter refer to the three months ended September 30, 2022, first quarter refers to the three months ended March 31, 2022, second quarter refers to the three months ended June 30, 2022, and year to date refers to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 unless the context indicates otherwise. All results commentary is compared to the equivalent period in 2021 or as at December 31, 2021, as applicable, unless otherwise indicated.

Operating Environment and Strategic Highlights

As immigration levels continue to increase and COVID-19 restrictions have increasingly been removed, including travel and capacity restrictions, masking mandates, testing requirements, and vaccine mandates, the Canadian economy has 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 earlier this year.

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, many economists are forecasting Canada, along with other global economies, will enter a moderate recession in the first half of 2023. 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 are working to strengthen the resilience of our network and we continue to make significant investments in our networks to further 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 have refunded approximately $150 million (July network outage-related credits), which is reflected in our Wireless and Cable financial results this quarter as a reduction of revenue.

Rogers Communications Inc. 2 Third 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

•Entered into a definitive agreement with Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) and Quebecor Inc. (Quebecor) for the sale of Freedom Mobile Inc. (Freedom) to Quebecor (Freedom Transaction), subject to regulatory approvals and closing of the merger of Shaw and Rogers (Transaction).

•Extended the special mandatory redemption outside date on our Shaw senior note financing and the drawdown period of our $6 billion term loan facility to ensure the financing remains in place if closing of the Transaction takes place in 2023.

Invest in our networks to deliver world-class connectivity to Canadian consumers and businesses

•Announced we will invest $20 billion in our network over the next five years, including to enhance resilience for our consumer and business customers.

•Signed a memorandum of understanding with Canada's other major telecommunications carriers regarding reciprocal support for emergency roaming, mutual assistance, and communications protocols in the event of a future network outage.

•Expanded Canada's largest 5G network, which now reaches more than 1,800 communities across the country.

•Continued to roll out mid-band 3500 MHz spectrum, available in 12 markets, delivering better speed, capacity, and coverage.

•In September, won PCMag’s 2022 Fastest Mobile Networks Canada in key regions, including the provinces of British Columbia and Quebec and the cities of Vancouver, Victoria, Ottawa, Windsor, Montreal, and Fredericton.

Invest in our customer experience to deliver timely, high-quality customer service consistently to our customers

•Launched a new Wi-Fi modem with Wi-Fi 6E, the world's most powerful Wi-Fi technology, and introduced premium Ignite Internet™ with 8 gigabit per second (Gbps) symmetrical speeds.

•Continued to accelerate our digital-first plan to make it easier for customers, with digital adoption at 88.5% of eligible transactions.

•The 2022 Blue Jays™ on Sportsnet™ season was the most-watched season since 2016 and in the top three most-watched seasons ever. For the season, 57 Blue Jays on Sportsnet broadcasts captured an average audience of over one million viewers.

•Signed a ten-year agreement with Canucks Sports and Entertainment renewing the naming rights to Rogers Arena and extending Sportsnet's exclusive regional television and radio partnership through the 2032-2033 season.

•Released the Rogers Truth and Reconciliation Commitment statement, our formal commitment of the meaningful steps we will continue to take on our collective journey to reconciliation.

•Donated $1 million to Jays Care™ Foundation in support of their ambitious goal to bring programming to 45,000 kids across Canada through Indigenous Rookie League, Challenger Baseball, and Girls at Bat.

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

•Generated total service revenue of $3,230 million, up 3%; adjusted EBITDA1 of $1,583 million, down 1%; and net income of $371 million. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, total service revenue and adjusted EBITDA would have increased 7% and 8%, respectively.

•Attracted 221,000 net mobile phone subscribers, up from 191,000 last year.

1Adjusted EBITDA is a total of segments measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about this measure.

Rogers Communications Inc. 3 Third Quarter 2022

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 2% and 3%, respectively, this quarter, driven primarily by revenue growth in our Wireless and Media businesses. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, total revenue and total service revenue would have increased by 6% and 7%, respectively.

Wireless service revenue increased by 3% 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, partially offset by credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Wireless service revenue would have increased by 9%. Wireless equipment revenue decreased by 1%, as a result of fewer device upgrades by existing subscribers and fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices.

Cable service revenue decreased by 4% this quarter, primarily as a result of credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage, partially offset by service pricing changes in the first quarter and increases in our retail Internet and Video subscriber bases. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Cable service revenue would have increased by 2%.

Media revenue increased by 12% this quarter as a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays™ revenue, due to the increase to full audience capacity at the Rogers Centre™, partially offset by lower Today's Shopping Choice™ revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA decreased 1% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 130 basis points primarily due to decreases in Wireless and Cable adjusted EBITDA. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, consolidated adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 8%.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1%, primarily as a result of credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA service margin of 62.1%. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Wireless adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 7%.

Cable adjusted EBITDA decreased by 10%, primarily as a result of the lower revenue. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 47.7%. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Cable adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2%.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $43 million this quarter, primarily due to higher revenue as discussed above partially offset by higher associated costs, and lower programming costs due to the timing of the NHL playoffs.

Net income and adjusted net income

Net income and adjusted net income decreased by 24% and 19%, respectively, this quarter, primarily as a result of higher finance costs attributable to Shaw senior note financing and the impact of the July network outage-related credits.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $1,216 million (2021 - $1,319 million), down 8%, as a result of higher interest paid, partially offset by funding provided by our net operating assets. We also generated free cash flow2 of $279 million (2021 - $507 million), down 45%, primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures and higher interest on borrowings, including borrowings associated with the Transaction.

As at September 30, 2022, we had $3.7 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2021 - $4.2 billion), including $0.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and a combined $3.0 billion available under our bank credit facilities. We also held $12.8 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 $253 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on November 8, 2022.

Rogers Communications Inc. 4 Third 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). 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 approximately $12.8 billion in funds, which are recognized as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our third 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 with no associated penalties.

The senior notes (except the $1.25 billion senior notes due 2025) also contain a "special mandatory redemption" provision (SMR notes), which initially required them to be redeemed at 101% of principal amount (plus accrued interest) if the Transaction was not consummated prior to December 31, 2022 (SMR outside date). In August 2022, we received consent from the note holders, and paid an initial consent fee of $551 million (including directly attributable transaction costs), to extend the SMR outside date to December 31, 2023, to ensure this financing remains in place should the Transaction close after December 31, 2022. If, as of December 31, 2022, the Transaction has not yet been consummated and we have not become obligated to complete a special mandatory redemption, we will be required to pay additional consent fees to the note holders. Additionally, in September 2022, we extended the drawdown period on the $6 billion term loan facility from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. See "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" for more information on our financing for the Transaction.

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.

On June 17, 2022, we announced the proposed Freedom Transaction, a divestiture agreement with Shaw and Quebecor for the sale of Freedom to Quebecor. 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

Rogers Communications Inc. 5 Third Quarter 2022

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. On August 12, 2022, we announced we had entered into definitive agreements with Quebecor.

On October 25, 2022, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry as an administrative matter denied our initial March 2021 request, which had not been withdrawn despite the proposed Freedom Transaction, to transfer Freedom's spectrum licences to Rogers. In contemplation of the proposed Freedom Transaction, the Minister set out certain conditions (which Quebecor announced its attention to accept) before the Minister would consider approving a transfer of Freedom's spectrum licences to Videotron Inc. (Videotron). The proposed Freedom Transaction continues to be reviewed by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED Canada).

On October 27, 2022, Rogers, Shaw, and Videotron participated in a scheduled mediation session with the Bureau, which did not yield a negotiated settlement. As a result, the Tribunal process commenced on November 7, 2022.

See "Regulatory Developments" for more information on the regulatory approval status of the Transaction.

Service revenue

The 3% increase in service revenue this quarter and 7% 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; partially offset by

•credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage.

Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, service revenue would have increased by 9% this quarter and year to date.

The 2% decrease in mobile phone ARPU this quarter was a result of the credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, mobile phone ARPU would

Rogers Communications Inc. 8 Third Quarter 2022

have increased by 3% this quarter. This increase, as well as the 2% increase year to date, was primarily a result of the increased roaming revenue.

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

Equipment revenue

The 1% decrease in equipment revenue this quarter and 5% 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 2% increase in the cost of equipment this quarter was primarily a result of:

•a shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; partially offset by

•fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices.

The 3% decrease in cost of equipment year to date was 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, which included increased roaming.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 1% decrease in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and 5% increase year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 7% this quarter and 8% year to date.

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

Service revenue

Service revenue year to date was stable. The 4% decrease in service revenue this quarter was a result of:

•credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage;

•increased competitive promotional activity; and

•declines in our Home Phone and Smart Home Monitoring subscriber bases; partially offset by

•service pricing changes made 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.

Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, service revenue would have increased by 2% this quarter and year to date.

Rogers Communications Inc. 10 Third Quarter 2022

The customer relationship net losses, the lower retail Internet net additions, and the lower ARPA this quarter were a result of the July network outage combined with increased competitive promotional activity.

Operating expenses

The 2% increase in operating expenses this quarter was primarily due to higher service-related costs as a result of the July network outage. The 2% 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 10% decrease in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and 3% increase year to date were a result of the service revenue and expense changes discussed above. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2% this quarter and 7% year to date.

Revenue

The 12% increase in revenue this quarter and 15% increase year to date were a result of:

•higher Toronto Blue Jays revenue, primarily as a result of increased attendance from strong team performance and the availability for fan attendance to reach full capacity at the Rogers Centre as COVID-19 restrictions were removed; partially offset by

•lower Today's Shopping Choice revenue.

In addition to the items above, the year to date increase was favourably impacted by higher advertising revenue and negotiation of certain content rates.

Operating expenses

The 3% increase in operating expenses this quarter and 6% increase year to date were a result of:

•higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including player payroll, and game day costs due to increased attendance from strong team performance and the availability for fan attendance to reach full capacity at the Rogers Centre; and

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

•lower programming costs due to the timing of the NHL playoffs last season; and

•lower Today's Shopping Choice costs in line with the lower revenue.

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. We will continue to direct capital expenditures to strengthen the resilience of our networks and make significant investments to strengthen our technology systems, increase network stability for our customers, and enhance our testing.

These investments will strengthen network resilience and stability and will help us bridge the digital divide by expanding our network further into rural and underserved areas through participation in various programs and projects.

Wireless

The 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 Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Halifax, among others. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum substantially augments the capacity and resilience of our earlier 5G deployments in the 600 MHz spectrum band.

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, which will offer increased network resilience and stability along with faster download speeds over time.

Media

The increase in capital expenditures in Media this quarter was primarily a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure expenditures, partially offset by lower Sportsnet digital infrastructure costs. The decrease in capital expenditures in Media year to date was also affected by lower broadcast infrastructure expenditures, relating to investments in new production studios in the prior year.

Corporate

The decreases in corporate capital expenditures this quarter and year to date were a result of lower investments in our corporate information technology infrastructure.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity increased in the quarter and year to date as a result of higher capital expenditure investments noted above, partially offset by higher revenue.

Restructuring, acquisition and other

This quarter and year to date, we incurred $85 million and $252 million (2021 - $63 million and $223 million), respectively, in restructuring, acquisition and other expenses, which included $54 million and $145 million (2021 - $45 million and $75 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 for the quarter and year to date in 2022 were primarily severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base. The remaining costs for the quarter and year to date in 2021 were primarily incremental, temporary costs incurred in response to COVID-19, and severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base. Additionally, the remaining costs year to date in 2021 consisted of certain contract termination costs.

1    Interest on borrowings includes interest on short-term borrowings and on long-term debt.

The 60% increase in net interest on borrowings this quarter and the 56% 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 8% decrease in cash provided by operating activities this quarter was primarily a result of higher interest paid, including the impact of the Shaw senior note financing, partially offset by funding provided by net operating assets. The 11% increase in cash provided by operating activities year to date was 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 $872 million and $2,299 million, respectively, on capital expenditures before changes in non-cash working capital items. See "Capital Expenditures" for more information.

Rogers Communications Inc. 17 Third Quarter 2022

Acquisitions and other strategic transactions

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we paid an installment of $665 million related to the acquisition of 3500 MHz spectrum licences and made two individually immaterial acquisitions complementary to our existing lines of business in Cable.

Financing activities

During the quarter and year to date, we paid net amounts of $396 million and received $12,703 million (2021 - received $1,135 million and paid $334 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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. In October 2022, we further amended the terms of the program and increased the maximum potential proceeds to $2.4 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, which we extended this year to an expiration date of April 25, 2024. 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 19 Third Quarter 2022

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.

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 September 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 September 2022, we further extended the drawdown period of the term loan facility to December 31, 2023.

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.

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    Accounted for as a modification of the respective financial liabilities.

4    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.

5    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.

In March 2022, we issued the Shaw senior note financing to partially finance the cash consideration for the Transaction. Each of the SMR notes contains a "special mandatory redemption" provision, which required them to be redeemed at 101% of their principal amount (plus accrued interest) if the Transaction was 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 cash consideration portion of the Transaction upon closing and as such, we have recognized approximately $12.8 billion of the net proceeds as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

In August 2022, we received consent from the SMR note holders to extend the SMR outside date to December 31, 2023, to ensure this financing remains in place should the Transaction close after December 31, 2022. As a result, we paid an initial consent fee to the note holders, including other directly attributable transaction costs, in September 2022 of $557 million ($121 million and US$331 million). Should the Transaction not close prior to December 31, 2022, and if we have not become obligated to complete a special mandatory redemption, we will be required to pay to the SMR note holders an additional consent fee of approximately $254 million ($55 million and US$152 million) on or before January 9, 2023.

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.

Dividends

Below is a summary of the dividends declared and paid on RCI's outstanding Class A Voting common shares (Class A Shares) and Class B Non-Voting common shares (Class B Non-Voting Shares) in 2022 and 2021. On November 8, 2022, the Board declared a dividend of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share to be paid on January 3, 2023 to shareholders of record on December 9, 2022.

2    Cash income taxes are net of refunds received.

Free cash flow decreased this quarter and year to date, and free cash flow excluding Shaw financing decreased this quarter, as a result of higher capital expenditures and higher interest on borrowings associated with the Transaction, partially offset by lower cash income taxes.

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 $1,100 million of securities in publicly traded companies as at September 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. 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 4.41% as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 3.95%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 12.0 years (December 31, 2021 - 11.6 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on the five-year anniversary.

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 ratios

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 September 30	As at December 31
(In millions of dollars, except ratios)	2022	2021
Long-term debt 1	33,118	18,873
Subordinated notes adjustment 2	(1,514)	(1,000)

Transaction costs related to Shaw senior note financing	(707)	—
Interest income on restricted cash and cash equivalents	105	—
Interest paid on Shaw senior note financing	(199)	—
Adjusted net debt excluding Shaw financing 5	19,680	20,037
Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA	6,236	5,887
Debt leverage ratio excluding Shaw financing 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. Debt leverage ratio excluding Shaw financing is a non-GAAP ratio. Adjusted net debt excluding Shaw financing is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of debt leverage ratio excluding Shaw financing. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about these measures.

We use adjusted net debt excluding Shaw financing and debt leverage ratio excluding Shaw financing to analyze our debt and cash balances when excluding the effect of the Shaw senior note financing, as those senior notes were issued for the specific purpose of funding the Transaction, which has not yet closed. To calculate adjusted net debt excluding Shaw financing, we further adjust adjusted net debt to exclude the balances of the Shaw senior note financing, our restricted cash and cash equivalents balance, and the net debt derivative liabilities relating to the US dollar-denominated Shaw senior note financing, as well as the cumulative transaction costs we have paid to date on the Shaw senior note financing, the cumulative interest income we have earned on the restricted cash and cash equivalents balance, and the cumulative interest we have paid on the Shaw senior note financing.

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 91.1% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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. 29 Third 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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

	Three months ended September 30, 2022			Nine months ended September 30, 2022

As at September 30, 2022, we had US$1,185 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2021 - US$1,068 million) with terms to maturity ranging from October 2022 to December 2023 (December 31, 2021 - January 2022 to December 2023) at an average rate of $1.259/US$ (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 September 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 nine months ended September 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. 30 Third Quarter 2022

During the nine months ended September 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).

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

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.

ISED Canada review of the Transaction

On October 25, 2022, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry as an administrative matter denied our initial March 2021 request, which had not been withdrawn despite the proposed Freedom Transaction, to transfer Freedom's spectrum licences to Rogers. In contemplation of the proposed Freedom Transaction, the Minister set out certain conditions (which Quebecor announced its intention to accept) before the Minister would consider approving a transfer of Freedom's spectrum licences to Videotron. The proposed Freedom Transaction continues to be reviewed by ISED Canada.

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. On September 7, 2022, we announced that a formal memorandum of understanding had been signed among Canada's major telecommunications carriers regarding reciprocal support for emergency roaming, mutual assistance, and communications protocols in the event of a future network outage.

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

Rogers Communications Inc. 32 Third Quarter 2022

July 22, 2022, we provided responses to the CRTC's questions. On August 5, 2022, the CRTC issued a subsequent request for information, responses to which were filed by Rogers on August 22, 2022.

On July 15, 2022, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology announced it would 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. RCCI, Bell Mobility Inc., and Telus Communications Inc.) as to how much combined 3500 MHz and 3800 MHz spectrum they can acquire; (ii) reserving a total of 150 MHz 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.

On June 16, 2022, the Bureau filed its reply to our June 3, 2022 responses. On June 17, 2022, the Tribunal issued an order setting the schedule for its consideration of the Bureau's application.

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 filed a motion seeking intervenor status in the Tribunal litigation to support Rogers' and Shaw's positions. Videotron's motion was later granted.

On October 27, 2022, Rogers, Shaw, and Videotron participated in a second mediation with the Bureau. The mediation did not yield a negotiated settlement and as a result, the Tribunal proceedings commenced on November 7, 2022. The commencement of Tribunal proceedings does not prevent us from pursuing discussions with the Bureau in an attempt to reach a negotiated settlement.

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.

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.

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. At this time, the Bureau has stated it does not intend to approve the Freedom Transaction together with the Transaction as currently contemplated and the likelihood of reaching a negotiated settlement with the Bureau has been significantly reduced. As a result, we may only be permitted to close the Transaction if we are successful in opposing the Bureau's application to the Tribunal. Separately, ISED Canada must approve the transfer of spectrum licences in connection with the Freedom Transaction.

Although we believe the Bureau's application should be dismissed by the Tribunal, the outcome of the 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.

Further, should the Transaction not close prior to December 31, 2022, we will be required to pay to the SMR note holders an additional consent fee of approximately $254 million ($55 million and US$152 million) on or before January 9, 2023.

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. One of the applications was subsequently withdrawn. Each of the remaining two applications 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 remaining 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 these 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 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 34 Third Quarter 2022

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.

•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).

•Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, clarifying subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions for sellers-lessees. (January 1, 2024).

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, and with Vancouver Professional Baseball LLP, which is controlled by our Director John C. Kerr. Dream is a real estate company that rents spaces in office and residential buildings. Vancouver Professional Baseball LLP controls the Vancouver Canadians, the Toronto Blue Jays High-A affiliate minor league team. Total amounts paid to each of these related parties were nominal for the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 35 Third Quarter 2022

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 supplementary financial measures (see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures"), are not measurements in accordance with IFRS. They include:

•subscriber counts;

•Wireless;

•Cable; and

•homes passed (Cable);

•Wireless subscriber churn (churn);

•Wireless mobile phone average revenue per user
(ARPU);

•Cable average revenue per account (ARPA);

•Cable customer relationships;

•Cable market penetration (penetration);

•capital intensity; and

•total service revenue.

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. 36 Third 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
Specified financial measure	How it is useful		How we calculate it	Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure
Adjusted net income	●	To assess the performance of our businesses before the effects of the noted items, because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring.	Net income add (deduct) restructuring, acquisition and other; loss (recovery) on sale or wind down of investments; loss (gain) on disposition of property, plant and equipment; (gain) on acquisitions; loss on non-controlling interest purchase obligations; loss on repayment of long-term debt; loss on bond forward derivatives; and income tax adjustments on these items, including adjustments as a result of legislative changes.	Net income
Free cash flow excluding Shaw financing	●	To show how much cash we generate from our operations that is available to repay debt and reinvest in our company excluding the effect of the Shaw senior note financing, as it was issued for a specific purpose and does not contribute to our core business operations.	Cash provided by operating activities add (deduct) (capital expenditures); (interest on borrowings, net and capitalized interest); interest paid; restructuring, acquisition, and other; (program rights amortization); change in net operating assets and liabilities; interest on Shaw senior note financing; and (interest earned on restricted cash and cash equivalents).	Cash provided by operating activities
Adjusted net debt excluding Shaw financing	●	We believe this helps investors and analysts analyze the components of our debt and cash balances while taking into account the impact of debt derivatives on our US dollar-denominated debt, excluding the cumulative effect of the Shaw senior note financing as it was issued for the specific purpose of funding the Transaction, which has not yet closed.	Total long-term debt add (deduct) current portion of long-term debt; deferred transaction costs and discounts; net debt derivative (assets) liabilities associated with issued debt; credit risk adjustment related to net debt derivatives; current portion of lease liabilities; lease liabilities; bank advances (cash and cash equivalents); short-term borrowings; and (restricted cash and cash equivalents); add (deduct) (Shaw senior note financing); restricted cash and cash equivalents; net debt derivative assets (liabilities) related to Shaw senior note financing; (deferred transaction costs and discounts related to Shaw senior note financing); interest income on restricted cash and cash equivalents; and (interest paid on Shaw senior note financing).	Long-term debt
Revenue, total service revenue, and adjusted EBITDA excluding July network outage-related credits	●	To show the organic growth of our business prior to the impact of the significant customer credits provided as a result of the July 2022 network outage.	Revenue and total service revenue excluding July network outage-related credits Revenue (or total service revenue) add July network outage-related credits. Adjusted EBITDA excluding July network outage-related credits Net income add (deduct) income tax expense (recovery); finance costs; depreciation and amortization; other expense (income); restructuring, acquisition and other; loss (gain) on disposition of property, plant and equipment; and July network outage-related credits.

Adjusted basic earnings per share Adjusted diluted earnings per share	●	To assess the performance of our businesses before the effects of the noted items, because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Excluding these items does not imply that they are non-recurring.	Adjusted net income divided by basic weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted net income including the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Debt leverage ratio excluding Shaw financing	●	We believe this helps investors and analysts analyze our ability to service our debt obligations, excluding the effect of specific Shaw senior note financing as it was issued for a specific purpose and does not reflect our ability to service our core business debt obligations.	Adjusted net debt excluding Shaw financing (defined above) divided by 12-month trailing adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding July network outage-related credits	●	To show the organic growth of our business prior to the impact of the significant customer credits provided as a result of the July 2022 network outage.	Adjusted EBITDA excluding July network outage-related credits divided by revenue excluding July network outage-related credits.

Rogers Communications Inc. 6 Third Quarter 2022

NOTE 1: NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Rogers Communications Inc. is a diversified Canadian communications and media 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 and businesses.
Cable	Cable telecommunications operations, including Internet, television and other video (Video), telephony (Home Phone), and smart home monitoring services for Canadian consumers and businesses, and network connectivity through our fibre network and data centre assets 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, multi-platform shopping, and digital media.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Wireless and Cable were operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (RCCI), and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries. Media was operated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Rogers Media Inc., and its subsidiaries.

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, 2021 (2021 financial statements).

Statement of Compliance

We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (third quarter 2022 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 2021 financial statements with the exception of new accounting policies that were adopted on January 1, 2022 as described in note 2. These third quarter 2022 interim financial statements were approved by RCI's Board of Directors (the Board) on November 8, 2022.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The notes presented in these third quarter 2022 interim financial statements include only significant transactions and changes occurring for the nine months since our year-end of December 31, 2021 and do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB for annual financial statements. These third quarter 2022 interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2021 financial statements.

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 7 Third Quarter 2022

•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.

•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).

•Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, clarifying subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions for sellers-lessees. (January 1, 2024).

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

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 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 strong 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. As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we met our objectives for these metrics.

Adjusted net debt	21,639	20,037
Divided by: trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA	6,236	5,887
Debt leverage ratio	3.5	3.4

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    Net debt derivative assets consists of the net fair value of our debt derivatives on issued debt.

3    For accounting purposes in accordance with IFRS, we recognize the fair values of our debt derivatives using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation by discounting cash flows to the measurement date. For purposes of calculating adjusted net debt, 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 proposed acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) (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.

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.

Available liquidity

Available liquidity fluctuates based on business circumstances. We continually manage, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

Our restricted cash and cash equivalents (see note 11) are not included in available liquidity as the funds were raised solely to fund a portion of the cash consideration of the Transaction (see note 22). Our $6 billion non-revolving credit facility (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 note 15) 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.

NOTE 4: SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Our reportable segments are Wireless, Cable, and Media. 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. We follow the same accounting policies for our segments as those described in note 2 of our 2021 financial statements. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be 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.

The remaining costs for the quarter and year to date in 2022 were primarily severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base. The remaining costs for the quarter and year to date in 2021 were primarily incremental, temporary costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and severance costs associated with the targeted restructuring of our employee base. Additionally, the remaining costs year to date in 2021 consisted of certain contract termination costs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, accounting for outstanding share-based payments using the equity-settled method for stock-based compensation was determined to be more dilutive than using the cash-settled method. As a result, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was reduced by $11 million and $16 million (2021 - $16 million and $4 million), respectively, in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

A total of 9,357,920 and 5,119,998 options were out of the money for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - 1,194,605 and 4,076,714), respectively. These options were excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities because they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

In March 2022, we issued US$7.05 billion ($9.05 billion) and $4.25 billion senior notes (see note 15). At the same time, we terminated the committed credit facility we entered into in March 2021 (see note 14). The arrangement agreement between Rogers and Shaw (see note 22) 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 $12,837 million in funds, which are recognized as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. These funds have been invested in short-term, highly liquid investments substantially including bank term deposits and Canadian federal and provincial government bonds and are readily convertible to cash without penalty. The invested funds were initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

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.

With the exception of the debt derivatives related to our US dollar-denominated notes due 2025, all of our currently outstanding debt derivatives related to our senior notes, senior debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities, and all of our currently outstanding 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 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 (see note 14). 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.

The tables below summarize the debt derivatives we entered into and settled related to our credit facility borrowings and US CP program during the three and nine months ended September 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 September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2022, we had no forward starting cross-currency swaps outstanding (December 31, 2021 - US$2 billion).

Lease liabilities

As at September 30, 2022, we had US$214 million notional amount of debt derivatives outstanding relating to our outstanding lease liabilities (December 31, 2021 - US$193 million) with terms to maturity ranging from October 2022 to September 2025 (December 31, 2021 - January 2022 to December 2024) at an average rate of $1.296/US$ (December 31, 2021 - $1.301/US$).

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 September 30, 2022, we had no interest rate derivatives outstanding.

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.

The tables below summarize the expenditure derivatives we entered into and settled during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

As at September 30, 2022, we had US$1,185 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2021 - US$1,068 million) with terms to maturity ranging from October 2022 to December 2023 (December 31, 2021 - January 2022 to December 2023) at an average rate of $1.259/US$ (December 31, 2021 - $1.287/US$).

Equity derivatives

We use total return swaps (equity derivatives) to hedge the market price appreciation risk of the RCI Class B Non-Voting common shares (Class B Non-Voting Shares) granted under our stock-based compensation programs. The equity derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Rogers Communications Inc. 17 Third Quarter 2022

As at September 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 nine months ended September 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).

During the three months ended March 31, 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).

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank advances, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of restricted cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value because of the short-term nature of how the funds have been invested. 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 each of our publicly traded investments using quoted market values. 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 debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives in an asset position, the credit spread for the financial institution counterparty is added to the risk-free discount rate to determine the estimated credit-adjusted value for each derivative. For those debt derivatives and expenditure derivatives in a liability position, our credit spread is added to the risk-free discount rate for each derivative.

The fair value of our interest rate derivatives is determined by discounting to the measurement date the cash flows that result from multiplying the interest rate derivative's notional amount by the difference between the period-end market forward rate and the forward rate in each derivative.

Rogers Communications Inc. 18 Third Quarter 2022

The fair values of our equity derivatives are based on the quoted market value of Class B Non-Voting Shares.

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 material financial instruments categorized in Level 3 as at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021 and there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

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. In October 2022, we further amended the terms of the program and increased the maximum potential proceeds to $2.4 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, which we extended this year to an expiration date of April 25, 2024. 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.

Committed Credit Facility

In March 2021, in connection with the Transaction (see note 22), 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 a $6 billion term loan facility related to the Transaction during the three months ended June 30, 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 note 15) during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the maximum amount we could have drawn decreased to nil and the facility was terminated.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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 September 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 September 2022, we further extended the drawdown period of the term loan facility to December 31, 2023.

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.

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    Accounted for as a modification of the respective financial liabilities.

4    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.

5    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.

In March 2022, we issued $13.3 billion of senior notes, consisting of US$7.05 billion ($9.05 billion) and $4.25 billion, in order to partially finance the cash consideration for the Transaction (Shaw senior note financing). Each of the notes (except the $1.25 billion senior notes due 2025) contains a "special mandatory redemption" provision (SMR notes), which required them to be redeemed at 101% of their principal amount (plus accrued interest) if the Transaction was not consummated prior to December 31, 2022 (SMR outside date). 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 cash consideration portion of the Transaction upon closing and as such, we have recognized approximately $12.8 billion of the net proceeds as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

In August 2022, we received consent from the SMR note holders to extend the SMR outside date to December 31, 2023, to ensure this financing remains in place should the Transaction close after December 31, 2022. As a result, we paid an initial consent fee to the note holders, including other directly attributable transaction costs, in September 2022 of $557 million ($121 million and US$331 million). Should the Transaction not close prior to December 31, 2022, and if we have not become obligated to complete a special mandatory redemption, we will be required to pay to the SMR note holders an additional consent fee of approximately $254 million ($55 million and US$152 million) on or before January 9, 2023. We have not recognized a liability for this contingency.

Concurrent with the Shaw senior note financing, we terminated certain derivatives (see note 11) we had 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.

July 20, 2021	October 1, 2021	0.50
October 20, 2021	January 4, 2022	0.50
		2.00

On November 8, 2022, the Board declared a dividend of $0.50 per Class A Share and Class B Non-Voting Share to be paid on January 3, 2023 to shareholders of record on December 9, 2022.

The holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of up to five cents per share but only after dividends at the rate of five cents per share have been paid or set aside on the Class B Non-Voting Shares. Class A Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares therefore participate equally in dividends above five cents per share.

NOTE 19: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Controlling Shareholder

We enter into certain transactions with private companies controlled by the controlling shareholder of RCI, the Rogers Control Trust. These transactions were recognized at the amount agreed to by the related parties and are subject to the terms and conditions of formal agreements approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The totals received or paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were less than $1 million, respectively.

Transactions with Related Parties

We have entered into business transactions with Dream Unlimited Corp. (Dream), which is controlled by our Director Michael J. Cooper, and with Vancouver Professional Baseball LLP, which is controlled by our Director John C. Kerr. Dream is a real estate company that rents spaces in office and residential buildings. Vancouver Professional Baseball LLP controls the Vancouver Canadians, the Toronto Blue Jays High-A affiliate minor league team. Total amounts paid to each of these related parties were nominal for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Rogers Communications Inc. 29 Third Quarter 2022

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.

NOTE 20: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

July 2022 network outage

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.

As a result of the network outage, and our promise to customers that we would proactively provide five days of credits on their services, we refunded approximately $150 million. The amount refunded has been recognized in our interim condensed consolidated statement of income as a reduction of revenue.

Further, three applications were filed in the Quebec Superior Court seeking authorization to commence a class action against Rogers in relation to this network outage. One of the applications was subsequently withdrawn. Each of the remaining two applications 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 remaining 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 these 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 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.

NOTE 22: 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

Rogers Communications Inc. 30 Third Quarter 2022

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).

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 three months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into the $6 billion term loan facility related to the Transaction, which served to reduce the amount available under the committed credit facility to $13 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued the Shaw senior note financing, which served to reduce the amount available under the committed credit facility to nil and the facility was terminated. See note 14 for more information on the committed facility and note 15 for more information on the senior notes. 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.

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. 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. 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 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. On August 12, 2022, we announced we had entered into definitive agreements with Quebecor.

On October 25, 2022, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry as an administrative matter denied our initial March 2021 request, which had not been withdrawn despite the proposed Freedom Transaction, to transfer Freedom's spectrum licences to Rogers. In contemplation of the proposed Freedom Transaction, the Minister set out certain conditions (which Quebecor announced its attention to accept) before the Minister would consider approving a transfer of Freedom's spectrum licences to Videotron Inc. (Videotron). The proposed Freedom Transaction continues to be reviewed by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.

On October 27, 2022, Rogers, Shaw, and Videotron participated in a scheduled mediation session with the Bureau, which did not yield a negotiated settlement. As a result, the Tribunal process commenced on November 7, 2022.

"This quarter, we continued to demonstrate our strong and consistent execution in our Wireless business and the robust demand from consumers and advertisers for our sports and Media assets," said Tony Staffieri, President and CEO. "Building on this position of strength, we will continue to invest in our networks and our customers' experience to deliver the resilience and service our customers expect. Looking ahead, we remain committed to the Shaw transaction and the significant connectivity and affordability benefits it will deliver to Canadians."

Rogers Communications Inc. 1 Third Quarter 2022

Operating Environment and Strategic Highlights

As immigration levels continue to increase and COVID-19 restrictions have increasingly been removed, including travel and capacity restrictions, masking mandates, testing requirements, and vaccine mandates, the Canadian economy has 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 earlier this year.

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, many economists are forecasting Canada, along with other global economies, will enter a moderate recession in the first half of 2023. 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 are working to strengthen the resilience of our network and we continue to make significant investments in our networks to further 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 have refunded approximately $150 million (July network outage-related credits), which is reflected in our Wireless and Cable financial results this quarter as a reduction of revenue.

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

•Entered into a definitive agreement with Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) and Quebecor Inc. (Quebecor) for the sale of Freedom Mobile Inc. (Freedom) to Quebecor (Freedom Transaction), subject to regulatory approvals and closing of the merger of Shaw and Rogers (Transaction).

•Extended the special mandatory redemption outside date on our Shaw senior note financing and the drawdown period of our $6 billion term loan facility to ensure the financing remains in place if closing of the Transaction takes place in 2023.

Invest in our networks to deliver world-class connectivity to Canadian consumers and businesses

•Announced we will invest $20 billion in our network over the next five years, including to enhance resilience for our consumer and business customers.

•Signed a memorandum of understanding with Canada's other major telecommunications carriers regarding reciprocal support for emergency roaming, mutual assistance, and communications protocols in the event of a future network outage.

•Expanded Canada's largest 5G network, which now reaches more than 1,800 communities across the country.

•Continued to roll out mid-band 3500 MHz spectrum, available in 12 markets, delivering better speed, capacity, and coverage.

•In September, won PCMag’s 2022 Fastest Mobile Networks Canada in key regions, including the provinces of British Columbia and Quebec and the cities of Vancouver, Victoria, Ottawa, Windsor, Montreal, and Fredericton.

Invest in our customer experience to deliver timely, high-quality customer service consistently to our customers

•Launched a new Wi-Fi modem with Wi-Fi 6E, the world's most powerful Wi-Fi technology, and introduced premium Ignite Internet™ with 8 gigabit per second (Gbps) symmetrical speeds.

•Continued to accelerate our digital-first plan to make it easier for customers, with digital adoption at 88.5% of eligible transactions.

•The 2022 Blue Jays™ on Sportsnet™ season was the most-watched season since 2016 and in the top three most-watched seasons ever. For the season, 57 Blue Jays on Sportsnet broadcasts captured an average audience of over one million viewers.

•Signed a ten-year agreement with Canucks Sports and Entertainment renewing the naming rights to Rogers Arena and extending Sportsnet's exclusive regional television and radio partnership through the 2032-2033 season.

Rogers Communications Inc. 2 Third Quarter 2022

•Released the Rogers Truth and Reconciliation Commitment statement, our formal commitment of the meaningful steps we will continue to take on our collective journey to reconciliation.

•Donated $1 million to Jays Care™ Foundation in support of their ambitious goal to bring programming to 45,000 kids across Canada through Indigenous Rookie League, Challenger Baseball, and Girls at Bat.

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

•Generated total service revenue of $3,230 million, up 3%; adjusted EBITDA of $1,583 million, down 1%; and net income of $371 million. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, total service revenue and adjusted EBITDA would have increased 7% and 8%, respectively.

•Attracted 221,000 net mobile phone subscribers, up from 191,000 last year.

Rogers Communications Inc. 3 Third Quarter 2022

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 2% and 3%, respectively, this quarter, driven primarily by revenue growth in our Wireless and Media businesses. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, total revenue and total service revenue would have increased by 6% and 7%, respectively.

Wireless service revenue increased by 3% 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, partially offset by credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Wireless service revenue would have increased by 9%. Wireless equipment revenue decreased by 1%, as a result of fewer device upgrades by existing subscribers and fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices.

Cable service revenue decreased by 4% this quarter, primarily as a result of credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage, partially offset by service pricing changes in the first quarter and increases in our retail Internet and Video subscriber bases. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Cable service revenue would have increased by 2%.

Media revenue increased by 12% this quarter as a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays™ revenue, due to the increase to full audience capacity at the Rogers Centre™, partially offset by lower Today's Shopping Choice™ revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA decreased 1% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 130 basis points primarily due to decreases in Wireless and Cable adjusted EBITDA. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, consolidated adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 8%.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1%, primarily as a result of credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA service margin of 62.1%. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Wireless adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 7%.

Cable adjusted EBITDA decreased by 10%, primarily as a result of the lower revenue. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 47.7%. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, Cable adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2%.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $43 million this quarter, primarily due to higher revenue as discussed above partially offset by higher associated costs, and lower programming costs due to the timing of the NHL playoffs.

Net income and adjusted net income

Net income and adjusted net income decreased by 24% and 19%, respectively, this quarter, primarily as a result of higher finance costs attributable to Shaw senior note financing, and the impact of the July network outage-related credits.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $1,216 million (2021 - $1,319 million), down 8%, as a result of higher interest paid, partially offset by funding provided by our net operating assets. We also generated free cash flow of $279 million (2021 - $507 million), down 45%, primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures and higher interest on borrowings, including borrowings associated with the Transaction.

As at September 30, 2022, we had $3.7 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2021 - $4.2 billion), including $0.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and a combined $3.0 billion available under our bank credit facilities. We also held $12.8 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 $253 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on November 8, 2022.

2 Available liquidity is a capital management measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q3 2022 MD&A for more information about each of these measures, available at www.sedar.com.

Rogers Communications Inc. 4 Third 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). 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 approximately $12.8 billion in funds, which are recognized as "restricted cash and cash equivalents" on our third 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 with no associated penalties.

The senior notes (except the $1.25 billion senior notes due 2025) also contain a "special mandatory redemption" provision (SMR notes), which initially required them to be redeemed at 101% of principal amount (plus accrued interest) if the Transaction was not consummated prior to December 31, 2022 (SMR outside date). In August 2022, we received consent from the note holders, and paid an initial consent fee of $551 million (including directly attributable transaction costs), to extend the SMR outside date to December 31, 2023, to ensure this financing remains in place should the Transaction close after December 31, 2022. If, as of December 31, 2022, the Transaction has not yet been consummated and we have not become obligated to complete a special mandatory redemption, we will be required to pay additional consent fees to the note holders. Additionally, in September 2022, we extended the drawdown period on the $6 billion term loan facility from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. See "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" for more information on our financing for the Transaction.

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, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (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.

On June 17, 2022, we announced the proposed Freedom Transaction, a divestiture agreement with Shaw and Quebecor for the sale of Freedom to Quebecor. 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

Rogers Communications Inc. 5 Third Quarter 2022

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. On August 12, 2022, we announced we had entered into definitive agreements with Quebecor.

On October 25, 2022, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry as an administrative matter denied our initial March 2021 request, which had not been withdrawn despite the proposed Freedom Transaction, to transfer Freedom's spectrum licences to Rogers. In contemplation of the proposed Freedom Transaction, the Minister set out certain conditions (which Quebecor announced its attention to accept) before the Minister would consider approving a transfer of Freedom's spectrum licences to Videotron Inc. (Videotron). The proposed Freedom Transaction continues to be reviewed by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED Canada).

On October 27, 2022, Rogers, Shaw, and Videotron participated in a scheduled mediation session with the Bureau, which did not yield a negotiated settlement. As a result, the Tribunal process commenced on November 7, 2022.

See "Regulatory Developments" for more information on the regulatory approval status of the Transaction.

About this Earnings Release

This earnings release contains important information about our business and our performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as well as forward-looking information about future periods. This earnings release should be read in conjunction with our Third Quarter 2022 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Third 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 Third Quarter 2022 MD&A; 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.

Service revenue

The 3% increase in service revenue this quarter and 7% 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; partially offset by

•credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage.

Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, service revenue would have increased by 9% this quarter and year to date.

The 2% decrease in mobile phone ARPU this quarter was a result of the credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, mobile phone ARPU would

Rogers Communications Inc. 11 Third Quarter 2022

have increased by 3% this quarter. This increase, as well as the 2% increase year to date, was primarily a result of the increased roaming revenue.

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

Equipment revenue

The 1% decrease in equipment revenue this quarter and 5% 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 2% increase in the cost of equipment this quarter was primarily a result of:

•a shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; partially offset by

•fewer of our new subscribers purchasing devices.

The 3% decrease in cost of equipment year to date was 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, which included increased roaming.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 1% decrease in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and 5% increase year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 7% this quarter and 8% year to date.

Service revenue

Service revenue year to date was stable. The 4% decrease in service revenue this quarter was a result of:

•credits granted to subscribers relating to the July network outage;

•increased competitive promotional activity; and

•declines in our Home Phone and Smart Home Monitoring subscriber bases; partially offset by

•service pricing changes made 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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 13 Third Quarter 2022

Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, service revenue would have increased by 2% this quarter and year to date.

The customer relationship net losses, the lower retail Internet net additions, and the lower ARPA this quarter were a result of the July network outage combined with increased competitive promotional activity.

Operating expenses

The 2% increase in operating expenses this quarter was primarily due to higher service-related costs as a result of the July network outage. The 2% 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 10% decrease in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and 3% increase year to date were a result of the service revenue and expense changes discussed above. Excluding the impact of the July network outage-related credits, adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 2% this quarter and 7% year to date.

•lower Today's Shopping Choice revenue.

In addition to the items above, the year to date increase was favourably impacted by higher advertising revenue and negotiation of certain content rates.

Operating expenses

The 3% increase in operating expenses this quarter and 6% increase year to date were a result of:

•higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including player payroll, and game day costs due to increased attendance from strong team performance and the availability for fan attendance to reach full capacity at the Rogers Centre; and

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

•lower programming costs due to the timing of the NHL playoffs last season; and

•lower Today's Shopping Choice costs in line with the lower revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA

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

2    Capital intensity is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q3 2022 MD&A for an explanation as to the composition of this measure, available at www.sedar.com.

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. We will continue to direct capital expenditures to strengthen the resilience of our networks and make significant investments to strengthen our technology systems, increase network stability for our customers, and enhance our testing.

These investments will strengthen network resilience and stability and will help us bridge the digital divide by expanding our network further into rural and underserved areas through participation in various programs and projects.

Wireless

The 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 Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Halifax, among others. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum substantially augments the capacity and resilience of our earlier 5G deployments in the 600 MHz spectrum band.

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, which will offer increased network resilience and stability along with faster download speeds over time.

Media

The increase in capital expenditures in Media this quarter was primarily a result of higher Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure expenditures, partially offset by lower Sportsnet digital infrastructure costs. The decrease in capital expenditures in Media year to date was also affected by lower broadcast infrastructure expenditures, relating to investments in new production studios in the prior year.

Corporate

The decreases in corporate capital expenditures this quarter and year to date were a result of lower investments in our corporate information technology infrastructure.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity increased in the quarter and year to date as a result of higher capital expenditure investments noted above, partially offset by higher revenue.

Rogers Communications Inc. 16 Third Quarter 2022

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.

ISED Canada review of the Transaction

On October 25, 2022, the Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry as an administrative matter denied our initial March 2021 request, which had not been withdrawn despite the proposed Freedom Transaction, to transfer Freedom's spectrum licences to Rogers. In contemplation of the proposed Freedom Transaction, the Minister set out certain conditions (which Quebecor announced its intention to accept) before the Minister would consider approving a transfer of Freedom's spectrum licences to Videotron. The proposed Freedom Transaction continues to be reviewed by ISED Canada.

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. On September 7, 2022, we announced that a formal memorandum of understanding had been signed among Canada's major telecommunications carriers regarding reciprocal support for emergency roaming, mutual assistance, and communications protocols in the event of a future network outage.

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 August 5, 2022, the CRTC issued a subsequent request for information, responses to which were filed by Rogers on August 22, 2022.

On July 15, 2022, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology announced it would 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. RCCI, Bell Mobility Inc., and Telus Communications Inc.) as to how much combined 3500 MHz and 3800 MHz spectrum they can acquire; (ii) reserving a total of 150 MHz 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.

On June 16, 2022, the Bureau filed its reply to our June 3, 2022 responses. On June 17, 2022, the Tribunal issued an order setting the schedule for its consideration of the Bureau's application.

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 filed a motion seeking intervenor status in the Tribunal litigation to support Rogers' and Shaw's positions. Videotron's motion was later granted.

Rogers Communications Inc. 17 Third Quarter 2022

On October 27, 2022, Rogers, Shaw, and Videotron participated in a second mediation with the Bureau. The mediation did not yield a negotiated settlement and as a result, the Tribunal proceedings commenced on November 7, 2022. The commencement of Tribunal proceedings does not prevent us from pursuing discussions with the Bureau in an attempt to reach a negotiated settlement.

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.

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 earnings release. 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.

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. At this time, the Bureau has stated it does not intend to approve the Freedom Transaction together with the Transaction as currently contemplated and the likelihood of reaching a negotiated settlement with the Bureau has been significantly reduced. As a result, we may only be permitted to close the Transaction if we are successful in opposing the Bureau's application to the Tribunal. Separately, ISED Canada must approve the transfer of spectrum licences in connection with the Freedom Transaction.

Although we believe the Bureau's application should be dismissed by the Tribunal, the outcome of the 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.

Further, should the Transaction not close prior to December 31, 2022, we will be required to pay to the SMR note holders an additional consent fee of approximately $254 million ($55 million and US$152 million) on or before January 9, 2023.

Rogers Communications Inc. 18 Third Quarter 2022

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. One of the applications was subsequently withdrawn. Each of the remaining two applications 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 remaining 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 these 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 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.

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 earnings release. We believe these key performance indicators allow us to appropriately measure our performance against our operating strategy and against the results of our peers and competitors. The following key performance indicators, some of which are supplementary financial measures (see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q3 2022 MD&A), 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.

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.

Rogers Communications Inc. 19 Third Quarter 2022

•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.
