Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Rogers Communications Inc. reported strong fourth-quarter 2025 results, driven by its media and sports businesses, and issued 2026 financial guidance. Q4 total revenue rose 13% to $6.2 billion, with total service revenue up 16% to $5.25 billion. Adjusted EBITDA grew 6% to $2.69 billion and net income increased 27% to $710 million.

Media was the standout, with Q4 revenue up 126% to $1.24 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $221 million, helped by the Blue Jays’ World Series run and consolidating MLSE. Wireless and Cable were stable, each showing roughly flat revenue and 1% adjusted EBITDA growth, but maintaining high margins of 67% and 59% in Q4.

For full-year 2025, total revenue reached $21.7 billion (up 5%), total service revenue $19.1 billion (up 6%), and adjusted EBITDA $9.82 billion (up 2%). Free cash flow was $3.36 billion, up 10%, and the debt leverage ratio improved to 3.9x from 4.5x, supported by lower capital intensity of 17.1%.

For 2026, Rogers targets total service revenue growth of 3%–5%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 1%–3%, capital expenditures of $3.3–$3.5 billion, and free cash flow of $3.3–$3.5 billion, pointing to continued focus on capital efficiency and deleveraging while investing in networks and monetizing its sports assets.

Positive

  • Debt leverage meaningfully reduced: Adjusted net debt leverage improved to 3.9x (4.0x reported) from 4.5x a year earlier, supported by strong free cash flow and balance sheet initiatives.
  • Free cash flow and guidance ahead of prior targets: 2025 free cash flow reached $3.36 billion, above the $3.20–$3.30 billion guidance range, and 2026 guidance calls for similarly strong free cash flow with lower capital expenditures.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Rogers posts strong Q4, beats 2025 targets, guides to steady 2026 growth with lower capex and leverage.

Rogers combined stable telecom operations with a powerful media upswing in Q4 2025. Total service revenue rose 16% to $5.25 billion and adjusted EBITDA grew 6% to $2.69 billion, while net income increased 27% to $710 million. Media revenue more than doubled to $1.24 billion on Blue Jays postseason performance and the addition of MLSE.

Wireless and Cable each delivered flat revenue but 1% adjusted EBITDA growth, sustaining Q4 margins of 67% and 59%. For 2025, total service revenue grew 6% and free cash flow rose 10% to $3.36 billion. Management used this cash generation and proceeds from asset actions to reduce the debt leverage ratio to 3.9x (4.0x on a reported basis) from 4.5x.

Rogers met or exceeded all 2025 guidance metrics and now guides 2026 total service revenue up 3%–5%, adjusted EBITDA up 1%–3%, capex down to $3.3–$3.5 billion, and free cash flow of $3.3–$3.5 billion. The outlook implies stable growth with higher cash generation as capital intensity falls, while the company continues to invest in 5G, fibre, and further monetization of its expanded sports portfolio, including an anticipated purchase of the remaining 25% minority interest in MLSE in 2026.

Quarterly Financial Highlights

Revenue
Total revenue increased by 13% and total service revenue increased by 16% this quarter as a result of revenue growth in Media.

Wireless service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. Wireless equipment revenue decreased by 1%, primarily as a result of a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices.

Cable service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year.

Media revenue increased by 126% this quarter as a result of revenue from MLSE following the July 1 closing of the MLSE Transaction (as defined below), the postseason success of the Toronto Blue Jays, and higher advertising and subscriber revenue related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels, partially offset by lower entertainment-related revenue, including the prior year impact of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concerts hosted at Rogers Centre.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 6% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 260 basis points, primarily as a result of Media revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth.

Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily as a result of higher equipment margins. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 67%, up 40 basis points.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 1% due to ongoing cost efficiencies. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 59%, up 30 basis points.

Media adjusted EBITDA increased by $166 million this quarter primarily due to the aforementioned revenue impacts and associated costs.

Net income and adjusted net income
Net income and adjusted net income increased by 27% and 3% this quarter, respectively, primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA partially offset by higher associated income taxes, and higher depreciation and amortization. Net income was also impacted by a $69 million gain on the sale of our customer-facing data centre business.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a total of segments measure. Free cash flow is a capital management measure. Pro forma debt leverage ratio and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP ratios. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders (a component of adjusted diluted earnings per share), and pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA (a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio) are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" for more information about each of these measures. These are not standardized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies.

Fourth Quarter 2025


Cash flow and available liquidity
This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,652 million (2024 - $1,135 million), which increased as a result of lower net investment in net operating assets and liabilities and higher adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow of $1,016 million (2024 - $878 million), which increased primarily as a result of higher adjusted EBITDA.

As at December 31, 2025, we had $5.9 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2024 - $4.8 billion), reflecting $1.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.5 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

As a result of the MLSE Transaction closing in the third quarter, our debt leverage ratio2 was 3.9 as at December 31, 2025. This has been calculated on an adjusted basis to include trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period. If calculated on an as reported basis without the foregoing adjustment, our debt leverage ratio2 as at December 31, 2025 was 4.0 (December 31, 2024 - 4.5). See "Financial Condition" for more information.

We also returned $270 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on January 28, 2026.

2026 Outlook

For the full-year 2026, we expect similar growth rates in total service revenue and adjusted EBITDA as experienced in 2025 with capital efficiencies driving lower capital expenditures and continued strong free cash flow. In 2026, we expect to have the financial flexibility to maintain our network advantages and to continue to return cash to shareholders.

3    Effective January 1, 2026, we will revise our calculation of free cash flow to adjust for net cash settlements on our subsidiary equity derivatives related to ongoing distributions to non-controlling interests. We believe the revised calculation more closely reflects the economic substance of the network transaction and the subsidiary derivatives economically hedge the distributions. The 2025 impact is not meaningful.

The above table outlines guidance ranges for selected full-year 2026 consolidated financial metrics. These ranges take into consideration our current outlook and our 2025 results. The purpose of the financial outlook is to assist investors, shareholders, and others in understanding certain financial metrics relating to expected 2026 financial results for evaluating the performance of our business. This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Information about our guidance, including the various assumptions underlying it, is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with "About Forward-Looking Information" (including the material assumptions listed under the heading "Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2026 guidance") and the related disclosure and information about various economic, competitive, and regulatory assumptions, factors, and risks that may cause our actual future financial and operating results to differ from what we currently expect.

We provide annual guidance ranges on a consolidated full-year basis that are consistent with annual full-year Board-approved plans. Any updates to our full-year financial guidance over the course of the year would only be made to the consolidated guidance ranges that appear above.

3    Effective April 1, 2025, and on a prospective basis, we adjusted our mobile phone subscriber bases to add 96,000 postpaid subscribers and 5,000 prepaid subscribers associated with the completion of the migration of customers from brands we had previously stopped selling. We believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our mobile phone business.
This year, 11,000 (third quarter) and 3,000 (fourth quarter) postpaid mobile phone and 4,000 (third quarter) and 7,000 (fourth quarter) prepaid mobile phone customers impacted by the ongoing decommissioning of our 3G network have been excluded from our customer base and churn metrics above.
4    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.

Service revenue
Service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year as the addition of new customers was offset by a decline in mobile phone ARPU as a result of ongoing competitive intensity in a slowing market.

The decreases in gross and net additions this quarter were a result of a less active market, slowing population growth as a result of changes to government immigration policies, and our focus on attracting subscribers to our premium 5G Rogers brand.

Fourth Quarter 2025


Equipment revenue
The 1% decrease in equipment revenue this quarter was primarily a result of:
a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices; partially offset by
higher device upgrades by existing customers;
a continued shift in the product mix towards higher-value devices; and
disciplined pricing in highly competitive selling periods.

Operating costs
Cost of equipment
The 5% decrease in the cost of equipment this quarter was a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

Other operating costs
The 4% increase in other operating costs this quarter was a result of:
higher service costs; and
costs associated with the launch of our new satellite-to-mobile product offering.

Adjusted EBITDA
The 1% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

Given this, we believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our retail Internet business.

Service revenue
Service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. Excluding the impact of the sale of our customer-facing data centre business (see below), Cable service revenue would have increased by 1% this quarter.

Operating costs
The 1% decrease in operating costs this quarter was a result of ongoing cost efficiency initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA
The 1% increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was a result of the service revenue and expense changes discussed above.

Revenue
The 126% increase in revenue this quarter was a result of:
revenue from MLSE following the MLSE Transaction;
higher sports-related revenue due to the postseason success of the Toronto Blue Jays; and
higher advertising and subscriber revenue related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels and the impact of the Toronto Blue Jays' postseason performance; partially offset by
lower entertainment-related revenue, including the impact of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concerts hosted at Rogers Centre in the prior year.

Operating costs
The 106% increase in operating costs this quarter was a result of:
costs incurred by MLSE following the MLSE Transaction;
higher programming costs, including those related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels; and
higher game day-related Toronto Blue Jays expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA
The increase in adjusted EBITDA this quarter was 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" for an explanation as to the composition of this measure.

One of our objectives is to build the biggest and best networks in the country, while also focusing on recognizing capital efficiencies. We continue to expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at December 31, 2025) across the country. We also continue to invest in fibre deployments, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), in our cable network and we are expanding our network footprint to reach more homes and businesses, including in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities.

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 decreases in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter and year were due to the recognition of capital efficiencies. We continue to make investments in our network development and 5G deployment to expand our wireless network. The ongoing deployment of 3500 MHz spectrum and the commencement of 3800 MHz spectrum deployment continue to augment the capacity and resilience of our earlier 5G deployments in the 600 MHz spectrum band.

Cable
The increase in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and the decrease for the year were a result of the timing of investments and reflect continued investments in our infrastructure, including additional fibre deployments to increase our FTTH distribution. These investments incorporate the latest technologies to help deliver more bandwidth and an enhanced 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, offering increased network resilience, stability, and faster download speeds over time.

Media
The increase in capital expenditures in Media this quarter was primarily a result of MLSE capital expenditures, partially offset by lower Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure expenditures associated with the Rogers Centre modernization project, and lower broadcast and digital infrastructures expenditures.

Capital intensity
Capital intensity decreased this quarter as a result of the revenue and capital expenditure changes discussed above.

1    Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation and amortization on the fair value increment recognized on acquisition of Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. For purposes of calculating adjusted net income, we believe the magnitude of this depreciation and amortization, which was significantly affected by the size of the Shaw Transaction, may have no correlation to our current and ongoing operating results and affects comparability between certain periods. Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation and amortization on Shaw Transaction-related property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 of $178 million and $829 million (2024 - $228 million and $917 million), respectively. Adjusted net income includes depreciation and amortization on the acquired Shaw property, plant and equipment and intangible assets based on Shaw's historical cost and depreciation policies.
2    Finance costs exclude the $151 million gain on repayment of long-term debt for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Finance costs also exclude the $32 million and $9 million change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Effective the second quarter of 2025 and as a result of closing the network transaction, we believe removing this amount more accurately reflects our ongoing operational results as these derivative instruments economically hedge the foreign exchange impacts of the network transaction but they are not eligible to be accounted for as hedges in accordance with IFRS. See "Financial Risk Management - Subsidiary equity derivatives" for more details on these derivative instruments.
3    Other income excludes a $4,976 million gain on revaluation of our existing investment in MLSE as a result of the MLSE Transaction for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
4    Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $55 million and $249 million (2024 - recoveries of $75 million and $338 million) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

The US CP program amount represents our currently outstanding US CP borrowings that are backstopped by our revolving credit facility.

Our $815 million Canada Infrastructure Bank credit agreement is not included in available liquidity as it can only be drawn upon for use in broadband projects under the Universal Broadband Fund, and therefore is not available for other general purposes. This quarter, we borrowed nil under this facility.

Weighted average cost of borrowings
Our weighted average cost of all borrowings was 4.78% as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 4.61%) and our weighted average term to maturity was 8.6 years (December 31, 2024 - 9.8 years). These figures reflect the expected repayment of our subordinated notes on their respective at-par redemption dates.

1    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.
2    For the purposes of calculating adjusted net debt and debt leverage ratio, we have added the deferred government grant liability relating to our Canada Infrastructure Bank facility to reflect the inclusion of the cash drawings.
3    Adjusted net debt is a capital management measure. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. 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.

Trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA reflects the combined results of Rogers including MLSE for the period since the MLSE Transaction closed in July 2025 to December 2025 and standalone Rogers results prior to July 2025. To illustrate the results of a combined Rogers and MLSE as if the MLSE Transaction had closed at the beginning of the trailing 12-month period, we have also disclosed a pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA and pro forma debt leverage ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA incorporates an amount representing MLSE's adjusted EBITDA, adjusted to conform to Rogers' accounting policies, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

These pro forma metrics are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to reflect what the combined company's actual operating results or financial condition would have been had the MLSE Transaction occurred on the date indicated, nor do they purport to project our future financial position or operating results and should not be taken as representative of our future financial position or consolidated operating results.

We intend to manage our debt leverage ratio through combined operational synergies, organic growth in adjusted EBITDA, proceeds from asset sales and monetizations, equity financing, and debt repayment, as applicable.

Financial Risk Management

This section should be read in conjunction with "Financial Risk Management" in our 2024 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 89.1% of our outstanding debt, including short-term borrowings, as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 90.8%).

Debt derivatives
We use cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, forward cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements, and foreign currency forward contracts (collectively, debt derivatives) to manage risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates associated with our US dollar-denominated senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, lease liabilities, credit facility borrowings, and US CP borrowings. We typically designate the debt derivatives related to our senior notes, debentures, subordinated notes, and lease liabilities as hedges for accounting purposes against the foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk associated with specific issued and forecast debt instruments. Debt derivatives related to our credit facility and US CP borrowings, with the exception of the interest rate swaps acquired in the MLSE transaction, have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

See "Mark-to-market value" for more information about our debt 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. In 2025, as a result of the MLSE Transaction, we acquired expenditure derivatives and other foreign exchange options that had previously been entered into by MLSE. The other foreign exchange options are effective economic hedges against future US dollar-denominated expenditures; however, they cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Expenditure derivatives settled285 1.326 378 1,200 1.325 1,590 

As at December 31, 2025, we had US$2,383 million notional amount of expenditure derivatives outstanding (December 31, 2024 - US$1,590 million) with terms to maturity ranging from January 2026 to June 2039 (December 31, 2024 - January 2025 to December 2026) at an average rate of $1.356/US$ (December 31, 2024 - $1.336/US$). Of the US$1,595 million notional expenditure derivatives entered this year, US$305 million relates to a hedge of future Toronto Blue Jays player compensation at a rate of $1.30/US$ over the next 14 years.

In addition to the expenditure derivatives set forth in the tables above, we acquired other foreign exchange options with a maximum notional amount of US$1,078 million through the MLSE Transaction. These derivatives have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in their fair values are recognized in "change in fair value of derivative instruments" in "finance costs".

This quarter, we settled US$24 million ($32 million) notional amount of other foreign exchange options, reflecting an exchange rate of $1.3175/US$, and US$24 million notional amount of other foreign exchange options expired.

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 December 31, 2025, we had equity derivatives outstanding for 5.5 million (December 31, 2024 - 6.0 million) Class B Non-Voting Shares with a weighted average price of $46.81 (December 31, 2024 - $53.27).

In April 2025, we settled 1.5 million equity derivatives at a weighted average price of $35.32 resulting in a net payment of $22 million on settlement. We also reset the pricing on 2.3 million existing equity derivatives, resulting in a net payment of $38 million. Finally, we executed extension agreements on all equity derivative contracts under substantially the same commitment terms and conditions with revised expiry dates to April 2026 (from April 2025).

In December 2025, we added 1.0 million equity derivatives at a weighted average price of $50.98.

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

Subsidiary equity derivatives
We have entered into cross-currency interest rate exchange agreements to manage the foreign exchange risk of our subsidiary equity investment (subsidiary equity derivatives). The subsidiary equity derivatives economically hedge our US dollar-denominated exposures arising from the subsidiary equity investment but cannot be designated as hedges for accounting purposes. In May 2025, in connection with the network transaction, we entered into subsidiary equity derivatives for US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) that mature in 2033. These subsidiary equity derivatives convert an 8% US dollar-denominated cash flow into a Cdn$ rate of 7.16% until maturity on a quarterly basis.

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

Key Performance Indicators

We measure the success of our strategy using a number of key performance indicators that are defined and discussed in our 2024 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"), 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.

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.

Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2026 guidance
Our 2026 guidance ranges presented in "2026 Outlook" are based on many assumptions including, but not limited to, the following material assumptions for the full-year 2026:
continued competitive intensity in all segments in which we operate consistent with levels experienced in 2025;
no significant additional legal or regulatory developments, other shifts in economic conditions, or macro changes in the competitive environment affecting our business activities;
overall wireless market penetration in Canada continues to grow in 2026;
continued net growth in wireless subscribers in the Canadian market;
continued subscriber growth in retail Internet;
declining Television and Satellite subscribers, including the impact of customers migrating to Rogers Xfinity TV from our legacy Television product, as subscription streaming services and other over-the-top providers continue to grow in popularity;
in Media, continued growth in sports (including a full year of results for MLSE) and similar trends in 2026 as in 2025 in other traditional media businesses;
no significant sports-related work stoppages or cancellations will occur;
with respect to capital expenditures, we continue investing to (i) expand our 5G network and (ii) upgrade our hybrid fibre-coaxial network to lower the number of homes passed per node, utilize the latest technologies, and deliver an even more reliable customer experience;
a substantial portion of our 2026 US dollar-denominated expenditures is hedged at an average exchange rate of $1.37/US$;
key interest rates remain relatively stable throughout 2026; and
we retain our investment-grade credit ratings.
