Quebecor Inc. reports consolidated results for second quarter 2022

Montréal, Québec – Quebecor Inc. (“Quebecor” or “the Corporation”) today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2022. Quebecor consolidates the financial results of its wholly owned Quebecor Media Inc. (“Quebecor Media”) subsidiary.

⮚	The Telecommunications segment’s adjusted cash flows from operations increased by $39.3 million (11.9%), its adjusted EBITDA increased by $6.0 million (1.2%) and its revenues decreased by $15.8 million (-1.7%) in the second quarter of 2022.

⮚	Videotron Ltd. (“Videotron”) increased its revenues from mobile services and equipment by $27.0 million (11.4%) in the second quarter of 2022.

On June 17, 2022, Videotron entered into an agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. (“Rogers”) and Shaw Communications Inc. (“Shaw”) to acquire Freedom Mobile Inc. (“Freedom Mobile”) for $2.85 billion on a cash-free and debt-free basis. The agreement, which is conditional, among other things, on clearance under the Competition Act and the approval of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, provides for the acquisition of the Freedom Mobile brand’s entire wireless and Internet customer base, as well as its owned infrastructure, spectrum, and retail outlets. It also includes a long-term undertaking by Shaw and Rogers to provide Videotron with transport services (including backhaul and backbone) and roaming services. Videotron has secured the committed debt financing required for this transaction.

Comments by Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor:

“In what remains a highly competitive environment, Quebecor maintained its operational rigour and financial discipline in the second quarter of 2022, as evidenced by the 6.8% increase in adjusted cash flows from operations to a total of $361.0 million, despite increased strategic investments in unique, differentiated content for both the TVA Network and its Club illico and Vrai over-the-top video platforms. These investments caused a slight $10.0 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA to $491.4 million. Videotron generated adjusted cash flows of $369.4 million, an increase of $39.3 million or 11.9%. Our efforts to better position our illico and Helix brands and improve margins led to a slight decrease in wireline equipment revenues. Nevertheless, the operating cost reduction initiatives of the past year enabled Videotron to post adjusted EBITDA of $487.5 million, an increase of 1.2%, and a 53.4% margin, still the industry standard-setter. Videotron also increased its revenues from mobile services and equipment by 11.4% in the second quarter of 2022. The number of connections to the mobile service grew by 34,600, or 27.2% more than in the same quarter of 2021.

See “Adjusted EBITDA” under “Definitions.”

See “Adjusted income from continuing operating activities” under “Definitions.”

See “Adjusted cash flows from operations” under “Definitions.”

“Videotron continues to invest in high-value growth initiatives such as wireline network extensions across the province, including the Régions Branchées program, in order to expand coverage while maintaining performance and reliability. Also, our 5G network already covers the major urban centres and roll-out is continuing apace.

“The results of TVA Group Inc. (‘TVA Group’) were significantly affected by lower profitability in the Broadcasting segment in the second quarter of 2022, due mainly to increased content investments at TVA Network, particularly in reality and variety programming. Delivering varied programming of high quality remains the cornerstone of our business strategy. It’s how we attract a steadily growing number of viewers, as indicated by the 0.7-point market share gain posted by TVA Network in the second quarter of 2022. Despite the soft advertising market due to the unfavourable business landscape and regulatory environment, our strong programming enabled us to stand out with advertisers and to limit the impact on our over-the-air network’s advertising revenues.

“We are more determined and motivated than ever to pursue our ambitious plans to grow across Canada as an agile, proven player that aims to disrupt the market and lower prices for Canadian consumers. The acquisition of Freedom Mobile will be a highly beneficial transaction for all parties. By investing in Canadian expansion with the goal of becoming the fourth national wireless carrier, we will foster healthy competition in the interests of Canadian consumers and position ourselves in a high-growth market, in which we will be able to offer consumers in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario multiservice bundles and innovative mobile and Internet products. We will leverage our strong operational and competitive expertise, significant financial resources and extensive spectrum assets to continue rapidly evolving to 5G technology and a world-class network. In addition, the recent acquisition of VMedia Inc. will support our growth strategy outside Québec with advantageous multiservice bundles, giving Canadian consumers more choice at better prices.

“We remain focused on our objectives of creating value for all our stakeholders through adroit execution of our strategies on a daily basis, coupled with the operational excellence and financial discipline that have been the hallmarks of our success in recent years.”

COVID-19 pandemic

Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on some of the Corporation’s quarterly results, more particularly in the Media and the Sports and Entertainment segments. Given the uncertainty around the future evolution of the pandemic, including any major new waves, all future impacts of the health crisis on the results of operations cannot be determined with certainty.

Non-IFRS financial measures

The Corporation uses financial measures not standardized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from continuing operating activities, adjusted cash flows from operations, free cash flows from continuing operating activities and consolidated net debt leverage ratio, and key performance indicators, including RGU. Definitions of the non-IFRS measures and key performance indicator used by the Corporation are provided in the “Definitions” section.

2022/2021 second quarter comparison

Revenues: $1.12 billion, a $16.0 million (-1.4%) decrease.

Revenues increased in Sports and Entertainment ($11.5 million or 34.3%).

Adjusted EBITDA: $491.4 million, a $10.0 million (-2.0%) decrease.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased in Media ($12.6 million or -75.4% of segment adjusted EBITDA) and there was an unfavourable variance at Head Office ($5.0 million) due to a change in the allocation of corporate expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased in Telecommunications ($6.0 million or 1.2%) and in Sports and Entertainment ($1.6 million or 51.6%).

The change in the fair value of Quebecor stock options and stock-price-based share units resulted in a $1.8 million unfavourable variance in the Corporation’s stock-based compensation charge in the second quarter of 2022 compared with the same period of 2021.

Net income attributable to shareholders: $157.4 million ($0.66 per basic share) in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $123.5 million ($0.50 per basic share) in the same period of 2021, an increase of $33.9 million ($0.16 per basic share).

$80.9 million decrease in the loss on debt refinancing;

$5.0 million decrease in the depreciation and amortization charge;

$5.0 million decrease in financial expenses.

Adjusted cash flows from operations: $361.0 million, a $22.9 million (6.8%) increase due to a $22.8 million decrease in additions to intangible assets and a $10.1 million decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment, partially offset by the $10.0 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA.

Cash flows provided by operating activities: $241.7 million, a $12.0 million (5.2%) increase due primarily to the favourable net change in non-cash balances related to operating activities and the decrease in the cash portion of financial expenses, partially offset by the decrease in adjusted EBITDA, the increase in current income taxes and the unfavourable variance in the cash portion related to restructuring of operations and other items.

2022/2021 year-to-date comparison

Revenues: $2.20 billion, a $19.1 million (-0.9%) decrease.

Revenues decreased in Telecommunications ($26.4 million or -1.4% of segment revenues) and in Media ($3.1 million or -0.8%).

Revenues increased in Sports and Entertainment ($14.4 million or 22.3%).

Adjusted EBITDA: $933.5 million, a $20.6 million (-2.2%) decrease.

Adjusted EBITDA increased in Telecommunications ($15.1 million or 1.6% of segment adjusted EBITDA).

There were unfavourable variances in Media ($25.8 million), Sports and Entertainment ($0.6 million or -11.5%) and Head Office ($9.3 million), due in the latter case to a change in the allocation of corporate expenses.

The change in the fair value of Quebecor stock options and stock-price-based share units resulted in a $0.4 million unfavourable variance in the Corporation’s stock-based compensation charge in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period of 2021.

Net income attributable to shareholders: $278.8 million ($1.17 per basic share) in the first half of 2022, compared with $244.8 million ($1.00 per basic share) in the same period of 2021, an increase of $34.0 million ($0.17 per basic share).

The main favourable variances were:

$80.9 million decrease in the loss on debt refinancing;

$10.6 million decrease in financial expenses;

$5.6 million decrease in the depreciation and amortization charge;

$5.3 million favourable variance in non-controlling interest.

The main unfavourable variances were:

$20.5 million unfavourable variance in the charge for restructuring of operations and other items;

$20.6 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA;

$16.7 million increase in the income tax expense;

$10.6 million unfavourable variance in losses on valuation and translation of financial instruments, including $10.9 million without any tax consequences.

Adjusted cash flows from operations: $677.1 million, a $31.4 million (4.9%) increase due to a $41.3 million decrease in additions to intangible assets and a $10.7 million decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment, partially offset by the $20.6 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA.

Cash flows provided by operating activities: $469.4 million, a $21.9 million (-4.5%) decrease due primarily to the decrease in adjusted EBITDA and the increase in current income taxes, partially offset by the favourable net change in non-cash balances related to operating activities and the decrease in the cash portion of financial expenses.

Financing operations

On May 20, 2022, Videotron amended its $1.50 billion secured revolving credit facility to extend its term to July 2026 and Quebecor Media amended its $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility to extend its term to July 2025. Certain terms and conditions of the credit facilities were also amended.

Normal course issuer bid

On August 3, 2022, the Corporation authorized a normal course issuer bid for a maximum of 1,000,000 Class A Multiple Voting Shares (“Class A Shares”), representing approximately 1.3% of issued and outstanding Class A Shares, and for a maximum of 6,000,000 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (“Class B Shares”), representing approximately 3.8% of issued and outstanding Class B Shares as of July 29, 2022. The purchases can be made from August 15, 2022 to August 14, 2023 at prevailing market prices on the open market through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange or other alternative trading systems in Canada. All shares purchased under the bid will be cancelled. As of July 29, 2022, 76 984 034 Class A Shares and 157 170 556 Class B Shares were issued and outstanding.

The average daily trading volume of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of the Corporation between February 1, 2022 and July 31, 2022 on the TSX was 1 220 Class A Shares and 703 584 Class B Shares. Consequently, the Corporation will be authorized to purchase a maximum of 1,000 Class A Shares and 175 986 Class B Shares during the same trading day, pursuant to its normal course issuer bid.

The Corporation believes that the repurchase of these shares under this normal course issuer bid is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.

The Corporation also announced that on or around August 5, 2022 it will enter into an automatic securities purchase plan (“the plan”) with a designated broker whereby shares may be repurchased under the plan at times when such purchases would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. The plan received prior approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange. It will come into effect on August 15, 2022 and terminate on the same date as the normal course issuer bid.

Under the plan, before entering a self-imposed blackout period, the Corporation may, but is not required to, ask the designated broker to make purchases under the normal course issuer bid. Such purchases shall be made at the discretion of the designated broker, within parameters established by the Corporation prior to the blackout periods. Outside the blackout periods, purchases will be made at the discretion of the Corporation’s management.

On April 27, 2022, the Corporation received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to amend its previous normal course issuer bid in order to increase the maximum number of Class B Shares that may be repurchased to 10,000,000 Class B Shares, representing approximately 6.8% of the Class B Shares public float as of July 30, 2021. No other terms of the normal course issuer bid have been amended. Between August 15, 2021 and July 31, 2022, of the 1,000,000 Class A Shares and 10,000,000 Class B Shares it was authorized to repurchase under this normal course issuer bid, the Corporation repurchased no Class A Shares and 8,978,851 Class B Shares at a weighted average price of $29.7984 per share on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and alternative trading systems in Canada.

In the first half of 2022, the Corporation purchased and cancelled 4,202,951 Class B Shares for a total cash consideration of $123.1 million (4,073,200 Class B Shares for a total cash consideration of $131.5 million in the same period of 2021). The $98.3 million excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the repurchased Class B Shares was recorded as a reduction in retained earnings ($107.5 million in the same period of 2021).

Dividend

On August 3, 2022, the Board of Directors of Quebecor declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share on its Class A Shares and Class B Shares, payable on September 13, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 19, 2022. This dividend is designated an eligible dividend, as provided under subsection 89(14) of the Canadian Income Tax Act and its provincial counterpart.

Convertible debentures

In accordance with the terms of the trust indenture governing the convertible debentures, the quarterly dividend declared on May 11, 2022 on Quebecor Class B Shares triggered an adjustment to the floor price and ceiling price then in effect. Accordingly, effective May 26, 2022, the conversion features of the convertible debentures are subject to an adjusted floor price of approximately $25.07 per share (that is, a maximum number of approximately 5,984,010 Class B Shares corresponding to a ratio of $150.0 million to the adjusted floor price) and an adjusted ceiling price of approximately $31.33 per share (that is, a minimum number of approximately 4,787,208 Class B Shares corresponding to a ratio of $150.0 million to the adjusted ceiling price).

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted EBITDA

In its analysis of operating results, the Corporation defines adjusted EBITDA, as reconciled to net income under IFRS, as net income before depreciation and amortization, financial expenses, loss (gain) on valuation and translation of financial instruments, restructuring of operations and other items, loss on debt refinancing and income tax. Adjusted EBITDA as defined above is not a measure of results that is consistent with IFRS. It is not intended to be regarded as an alternative to IFRS financial performance measures or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Corporation uses adjusted EBITDA in order to assess the performance of its investment in Quebecor Media. The Corporation’s management and Board of Directors use this measure in evaluating its consolidated results as well as the results of the Corporation’s operating segments. This measure eliminates the significant level of impairment and depreciation/amortization of tangible and intangible assets and is unaffected by the capital structure or investment activities of the Corporation and its business segments.

Adjusted EBITDA is also relevant because it is a component of the Corporation’s annual incentive compensation programs. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Corporation’s segments. The Corporation also uses other measures that do reflect such costs, such as adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flows from continuing operating activities. The Corporation’s definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 2 provides a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income as disclosed in Quebecor’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted income from continuing operating activities

The Corporation defines adjusted income from continuing operating activities, as reconciled to net income attributable to shareholders under IFRS, as net income attributable to shareholders before (loss) gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, restructuring of operations and other items, and loss on debt refinancing, net of income tax related to adjustments and net income attributable to non-controlling interest related to adjustments. Adjusted income from continuing operating activities, as defined above, is not a measure of results that is consistent with IFRS. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Corporation uses adjusted income from continuing operating activities to analyze trends in the performance of its businesses. The above-listed items are excluded from the calculation of this measure because they impair the comparability of financial results. Adjusted income from continuing operating activities is more representative for forecasting income. The Corporation’s definition of adjusted income from continuing operating activities may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 3 provides a reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operating activities to the net income attributable to shareholders’ measure used in Quebecor’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flows from continuing operating activities

Adjusted cash flows from operations

Adjusted cash flows from operations represents adjusted EBITDA, less additions to property, plant and equipment and to intangible assets (excluding licence acquisitions and renewals). Adjusted cash flows from operations represents funds available for interest and income tax payments, expenditures related to restructuring programs, business acquisitions, licence acquisitions and renewals, payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt and lease liabilities, and share repurchases. Adjusted cash flows from operations is not a measure of liquidity that is consistent with IFRS. It is not intended to be regarded as an alternative to IFRS financial performance measures or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted cash flows from operations is used by the Corporation’s management and Board of Directors to evaluate the cash flows generated by the operations of all of its segments, on a consolidated basis, in addition to the operating cash flows generated by each segment. Adjusted cash flows from operations is also relevant because it is a component of the Corporation’s annual incentive compensation programs. The Corporation’s definition of adjusted cash flows from operations may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Free cash flows from continuing operating activities

Free cash flows from continuing operating activities represents cash flows provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS, less cash flows used for additions to property, plant and equipment and to intangible assets (excluding expenditures related to licence acquisitions and renewals), plus proceeds from disposal of assets. Free cash flows from continuing operating activities is used by the Corporation’s management and Board of Directors to evaluate cash flows generated by the Corporation’s operations. Free cash flows from continuing operating activities represents available funds for business acquisitions, licence acquisitions and renewals, payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt and lease liabilities, and share repurchases. Free cash flows from continuing operating activities is not a measure of liquidity that is consistent with IFRS. It is not intended to be regarded as an alternative to IFRS financial performance measures or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The Corporation’s definition of free cash flows from continuing operating activities may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Consolidated net debt leverage ratio

The consolidated net debt leverage ratio represents consolidated net debt, excluding convertible debentures, divided by the trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA. Consolidated net debt, excluding convertible debentures, represents total long-term debt plus bank indebtedness, lease liabilities, the current portion of lease liabilities and liabilities related to derivative financial instruments, less assets related to derivative financial instruments and cash and cash equivalents. The consolidated net debt leverage ratio serves to evaluate the Corporation’s financial leverage and is used by management and the Board of Directors in its decisions on the Corporation’s capital structure, including its financing strategy, and in managing debt maturity risks. The consolidated net debt leverage ratio excludes convertible debentures because, subject to certain conditions, those debentures can be repurchased at the Corporation’s discretion by issuing Quebecor Class B Shares. Consolidated net debt leverage ratio is not a measure established in accordance with IFRS. It is not intended to be used as an alternative to IFRS measures or the balance sheet to evaluate its financial position. The Corporation’s definition of consolidated net debt leverage ratio may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 6 provides the calculation of consolidated net debt leverage ratio and the reconciliation to balance sheet items reported in Quebecor’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Revenue-generating unit

The Corporation uses RGU, an industry metric, as a key performance indicator. An RGU represents, as the case may be, subscriptions to the Internet access, television and OTT services, and subscriber connections to the mobile and wireline telephony services. RGU is not a measurement that is consistent with IFRS and the Corporation’s definition and calculation of RGU may not be the same as identically titled measurements reported by other companies or published by public authorities.
