    Be the first choice for Canadians

  • More Canadians continue to choose Rogers Wireless and Internet over any other provider.

  • Ranked the number one brand associated with the Toronto International Film Festival for the second consecutive year.

    Be a strong national company investing in Canada

  • Invested $964 million in capital expenditures, the majority of which was in our network.

    Be the growth leader in our industry

  • Grew total service revenue by 4%.

  • Generated strong free cash flow of $829 million and cash flow from operating activities of $1,515 million.

MLSE Transaction

Effective July 1, 2025, after receiving all required regulatory and league approvals, we acquired Bell's 37.5% ownership stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE) for a purchase price of $4.7 billion in cash (MLSE Transaction). The purchase price was primarily funded from bank credit facilities together with cash on hand (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information). With the closing of the MLSE Transaction, we are the largest owner of MLSE, with a 75% controlling interest. The holder (MLSE minority holder) of the 25% non-controlling interest in MLSE (MLSE non-controlling interest) has a right to require we purchase its interest beginning in July 2026 at an

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a total of segments measure. Free cash flow is a capital management measure. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP ratio. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders (a component of adjusted diluted earnings per share) are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q3 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), available at https://www.sedarplus.ca, and this earnings release 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.

agreement-defined fair value (MLSE put liability); we have a reciprocal right to acquire the MLSE non-controlling interest under the same terms, which we expect to exercise.

We remain committed to unlocking what we view as the significant unrecognized value in our world-class sports assets. Purchasing the MLSE non-controlling interest would be a key step in consolidating value in these assets. MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), the Toronto Argonauts (CFL), various minor league teams, and associated real estate holdings, such as Scotiabank Arena. The MLSE Transaction added significantly to our other sports assets, including the Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and Sportsnet. As a result of acquiring a majority interest in MLSE, we commenced consolidating 100% of MLSE's financial results in our Media reportable segment effective July 1, 2025.

We are evaluating multiple options for transactions that could unlock additional value for our shareholders from our sports assets. We expect any such transaction would be implemented in connection with acquiring 100% ownership of MLSE. These options could include, among others, selling a minority interest in some or all of our sports and other media assets to one or more third-party investors or consolidating these assets in a separate company we take public. Neither of these transaction options, nor any combination or other potential options, is currently being prioritized. We anticipate our final choice of transaction could occur within the next 18 months (see "About Forward-Looking Information" for more information).

Subsidiary Equity Investment

On April 4, 2025, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement with funds managed by Blackstone, backed by leading Canadian institutional investors, for a US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) equity investment (the "network transaction"). On June 20, 2025, the network transaction closed and we received US$4.85 billion ($6.7 billion) from Blackstone.

Under the terms of the network transaction, Blackstone acquired a non-controlling interest in Backhaul Network Services Inc. (BNSI), a new Canadian subsidiary of Rogers that owns a minor part of our wireless network. We maintain full operational control of our network and we include the financial results of BNSI in our consolidated financial statements (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Non-controlling interest" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information). We used the net proceeds from the network transaction to repay debt, including the remaining $700 million outstanding under our term loan facility, $1.8 billion outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and $1.1 billion and US$1.4 billion to pay the purchase price for our senior notes that we accepted for purchase pursuant to offers to purchase that expired on July 18, 2025 (see "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Cash tender offers" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information). We expect to use the remaining proceeds to repay senior notes maturing in 2025.

Blackstone holds a 49.9% equity interest (with a 20% voting interest) in BNSI and we hold a 50.1% equity interest (with an 80% voting interest). Provided our debt leverage ratio is not greater than 3.25x, at any time between the eighth and twelfth anniversaries of closing, we will have the right to purchase Blackstone's interest in BNSI. The Blackstone investment is recognized as equity in our consolidated financial statements.

During the first five years of Blackstone's investment, BNSI will have a distribution policy to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to Blackstone and RCCI of available cash in an amount that is intended to provide Blackstone with a 7% annual return on its US dollar investment. Including the impact of the subsidiary equity derivatives (see "Financial Risk Management" for more information), the effective cost to Rogers is approximately 6.26% over the first five years.

As a result of closing the network transaction, we made changes to certain non-GAAP measures and other specified financial measures in the second quarter (see "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures - Changes to specified financial measures", "Review of Consolidated Performance - Adjusted net income", and "Managing our Liquidity and Financial Resources - Free cash flow" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information).

Financial Guidance

As a result of our focus on recognizing capital efficiencies, we are updating our full-year 2025 guidance ranges for capital expenditures and free cash flow from the ranges provided on July 23, 2025 and initially provided on January 30, 2025. We have not changed our guidance ranges for total service revenue or adjusted EBITDA. Our updated 2025 guidance ranges are as follows.

2 Guidance ranges presented include the results of MLSE from and after the closing on July 1, 2025.

3 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.

The above table outlines guidance ranges for selected full-year 2025 consolidated financial metrics giving effect to the completion of the MLSE Transaction on July 1, 2025 and the network transaction on June 20, 2025. These guidance ranges take into consideration our current outlook and the 2024 results of each of Rogers and MLSE. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged due to the seasonality of MLSE's business, with the third quarter being the offseason for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors. Our estimated pro forma 2025 Media revenue and adjusted EBITDA including MLSE is approximately $4 billion and $0.25 billion, respectively. The purpose of this guidance is to assist investors, shareholders, and others in understanding certain financial metrics relating to expected 2025 financial results for evaluating the performance of our business including the completion of the MLSE Transaction. Our guidance, including the various assumptions underlying it, is forward-looking and should be read in conjunction with "About Forward-Looking Information" in this earnings release (including the material assumptions listed under the heading "Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2025 guidance") and in our 2024 Annual MD&A and the related disclosure and information about various economic, competitive, legal, and regulatory assumptions, factors, and risks that may cause our actual future financial and operating results to differ from what we currently expect.

Quarterly Financial Highlights Revenue

Total revenue and total service revenue increased by 4% this quarter, primarily as a result of revenue growth in Media.

Wireless service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. Wireless equipment revenue increased by 9%, primarily as a result of higher device upgrades by existing customers.

Cable service revenue increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of retail Internet subscriber growth and base management activity.

Media revenue increased by 26% this quarter, as a result of revenue from MLSE following the closing of the MLSE Transaction and the success of the Toronto Blue Jays, which resulted in higher attendance and game day revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and margins

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA decreased 1% this quarter and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 260 basis points, primarily as a result of the seasonal results for MLSE, as both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors are in their offseasons in the third quarter.

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 60 basis points.

Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 2% due to flowthrough of service revenue growth and ongoing cost efficiencies. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%, up 70 basis points.

Media adjusted EBITDA decreased by $61 million this quarter primarily due to the seasonal impact of MLSE.

Net income and adjusted net income

Adjusted net income decreased by 5% this quarter, primarily as a result of lower adjusted EBITDA. Net income increased by

$5,282 million, primarily as a result of a $5 billion non-cash gain to recognize our existing interest in MLSE at fair value, which was required as a result of the MLSE Transaction.

Cash flow and available liquidity

This quarter, we generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,515 million (2024 - $1,893 million), which decreased as a result of higher net investment in net operating assets and liabilities and higher income taxes paid, net, and free cash flow of $829 million (2024 - $915 million), which decreased primarily as a result of higher cash income tax payments.

As at September 30, 2025, we had $6.4 billion of available liquidity2 (December 31, 2024 - $4.8 billion), reflecting $1.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.9 billion available under our bank and other credit facilities.

As a result of the MLSE Transaction closing this quarter, our debt leverage ratio2 has increased to 3.9 as at September 30, 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 September 30, 2025 was 4.0 (December 31, 2024 - 4.5). See "Financial Condition" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information.

We also returned $270 million in dividends to shareholders this quarter and we declared a $0.50 per share dividend on October 22, 2025.

2Available liquidity and debt leverage ratio are capital management measures. Pro forma debt leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio. Pro forma trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is a component of pro forma debt leverage ratio. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q3 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), available at https://www.sedarplus.ca, and this earnings release for more information about this measure. These are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. See "Financial Condition" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for a reconciliation of available liquidity.

2 As at end of period.

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.

Further, during the third quarter, 11,000 postpaid mobile phone and 4,000 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" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at https://www.sedarplus.ca.

Service revenue

Service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year. The 1% increase in service revenue year to date was primarily a result of continued growth in our subscriber base.

The decreases in mobile phone ARPU this quarter and year to date were a result of ongoing competitive intensity in a slowing market.

The decreases in gross and net additions this quarter and year to date 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.

Equipment revenue

The 9% increase in equipment revenue this quarter and 6% increase year to date were primarily a result of:

  • higher device upgrades by existing customers; and

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

  • a decrease in new subscribers purchasing devices due to lower gross additions.

    Operating costs

    Cost of equipment

    The 4% increase in the cost of equipment this quarter and 2% increase year to date were a result of the equipment revenue changes discussed above.

    Other operating costs

    The 1% increase in other operating costs this quarter and 3% increase year to date were a result of:

  • higher service costs; and

  • costs associated with the launch of our new satellite-to-mobile product offering.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    The 1% increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

    3 Effective April 1, 2025, and on a prospective basis, we added 122,000 customer relationships and 124,000 retail Internet subscribers to reflect the completion of the migration of subscribers from legacy Fido Internet plans that we had previously removed when we stopped selling new plans for this service. Given this, we believe this adjustment more meaningfully reflects the underlying organic subscriber performance of our retail Internet business.

    4 ARPA is a supplementary financial measure. See "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more information about this measure, available at https://www.sedarplus.ca.

    Service revenue

    The 1% increase in service revenue this quarter was a result of:

  • retail Internet subscriber growth; and

  • base management activity; partially offset by

  • declines in our Home Phone and Video subscriber bases.

    Service revenue year to date was in line with the prior year.

    Operating costs

    The 1% decrease in operating costs this quarter and 3% decrease year to date were a result of:

  • ongoing cost efficiency initiatives; partially offset by

  • increased costs associated with marketing and advertising activities.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    The 2% increases in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and year to date were a result of the service revenue and expense changes discussed above.

    Other Cable Developments

    During the third quarter, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement to sell our customer-facing data centre business to InfraRed Capital Partners. The transaction does not include our corporate data centres used for our own network and IT purposes. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter. The assets and liabilities related to the data centre business have been reclassified as "assets held for sale" and "liabilities associated with assets held for sale" on our interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

  • higher sports-related revenue due to higher Toronto Blue Jays revenue; and

  • higher advertising and subscriber revenue related to the launch of the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels.

    Operating costs

    The 47% increase in operating costs this quarter and 22% increase year to date were 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 production costs; and

  • higher Toronto Blue Jays expenses, including player payroll and game day-related costs.

One of our objectives is to build the biggest and best networks in the country. We continue to expand the reach and capacity of our 5G network (the largest 5G network in Canada as at September 30, 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 increase in capital expenditures in Wireless this quarter was due to the timing of investments made to upgrade and expand our wireless network. The decrease in capital expenditures year to date was 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 decreases in capital expenditures in Cable this quarter and year to date were a result of prioritizing our capital investments and striving to recognize capital efficiencies. Capital expenditures 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 ongoing investments made to revitalize Scotiabank Arena. The decrease year to date was a result of lower Toronto Blue Jays stadium infrastructure-related expenditures associated with the Rogers Centre modernization project, and lower broadcast and digital infrastructures expenditures.

Capital intensity

Capital intensity decreased this quarter and year to date 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $210 million and $651 million (2024 - $227 million and $689 million). 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Finance costs also exclude the $134 million and $41 million change in fair value of subsidiary equity derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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" in our Q3 2025 MD&A for more details on these derivative instruments.

3 Other income excludes a $5,016 million gain on revaluation of our existing investment in MLSE as a result of the MLSE Transaction.

4 Income tax expense excludes recoveries of $42 million and $194 million (2024 - recoveries of $82 million and $263 million) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 related to the income tax impact for adjusted items.

Effective the second quarter of 2025, as a result of the closing of the network transaction, we introduced a new non-GAAP measure - adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders. In addition to the adjustments applied to net income to calculate adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to RCI shareholders further adjusts net income attributable to RCI shareholders by removing the impacts of foreign exchange revaluation within BNSI as the subsidiary equity derivatives we have entered into economically and effectively hedge our foreign exchange exposures arising from the investment.

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);

    Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA
  • Cable average revenue per account (ARPA);

  • Cable customer relationships;

  • Cable market penetration (penetration);

  • capital intensity; and

  • total service revenue.

This earnings release includes "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking information"), and assumptions about, among other things, our business, operations, and financial performance and condition approved by our management on the date of this earnings release. This forward-looking information and these assumptions include, but are not limited to, statements about our objectives and strategies to achieve those objectives, and about our beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates, or intentions.

Forward-looking information
  • typically includes words like could, expect, may, anticipate, assume, believe, intend, estimate, plan, project, guidance, outlook, target, and similar expressions;

  • includes conclusions, forecasts, and projections that are based on our current objectives and strategies and on estimates, expectations, assumptions, and other factors that we believe to have been reasonable at the time they were applied but may prove to be incorrect; and

  • was approved by our management on the date of this earnings release.

    Our forward-looking information includes forecasts and projections related to the following items, among others:

  • revenue, both on a consolidated basis and for Media (pro forma including MLSE revenue);

  • total service revenue;

  • adjusted EBITDA, both on a consolidated basis and for Media (pro forma including MLSE adjusted EBITDA);

  • capital expenditures;

  • cash income tax payments;

  • free cash flow;

  • dividend payments;

  • the growth of new products and services;

  • expected growth in subscribers and the services to which they subscribe;

  • the cost of acquiring and retaining subscribers and deployment of new services;

  • continued cost reductions and efficiency improvements;

  • the use of proceeds from the network transaction;

  • our debt leverage ratio and how we intend to manage, that ratio;

  • the value of our sports and other media assets;

  • our intent to acquire the MLSE non-controlling interest, including the timing of any such acquisition;

  • unlocking additional value from our sports and other media assets, including which transaction option(s) may be implemented for that purpose and the related timing; and

  • all other statements that are not historical facts.

    Our conclusions, forecasts, and projections are based on a number of estimates, expectations, assumptions, and other factors, including, among others:

  • general economic and industry conditions, including the effects of inflation;

  • currency exchange rates and interest rates;

  • product pricing levels and competitive intensity;

  • subscriber growth;

  • pricing, usage, and churn rates;

  • changes in government regulation;

  • technology and network deployment;

  • availability of devices;

  • timing of new product launches;

  • content and equipment costs;

  • the integration of acquisitions;

  • industry structure and stability; and

  • the assumptions listed under the heading "Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2025 guidance" below.

Specific forward-looking information included or incorporated in this document includes, but is not limited to, our information and statements under "Financial Guidance" relating to our 2025 consolidated guidance on total service revenue, adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures, and free cash flow, which were originally provided on January 30, 2025.

Key assumptions underlying our full-year 2025 guidance

Our 2025 guidance ranges presented in "Financial Guidance" are based on many assumptions including, but not limited to, the following material assumptions for the full-year 2025:

  • continued competitive intensity in all segments in which we operate consistent with levels experienced in 2024;

  • 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 2025;

  • 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 at MLSE) and similar trends in 2025 as in 2024 in other traditional media businesses;

  • no significant sports-related work stoppages or cancellations will occur;

  • with respect to capital expenditures:

    • similar levels of capital investment associated with (i) expanding our 5G wireless network and (ii) upgrading 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; and

    • we continue to make expenditures related to our Home roadmap in 2025 and we make progress on our service footprint expansion projects;

  • a substantial portion of our 2025 US dollar-denominated expenditures is hedged at an average exchange rate of

    $1.34/US$;

  • key interest rates remain relatively stable throughout 2025; and

  • we retain our investment-grade credit ratings.

    Except as otherwise indicated, this earnings release and our forward-looking information do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other special items or of any dispositions, monetizations, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations, or other transactions that may be considered or announced or may occur after the date on which the statement containing the forward-looking information is made.

    Risks and uncertainties

    Actual events and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by forward-looking information as a result of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control or our current expectations or knowledge, including, but not limited to:

  • regulatory changes;

  • technological changes;

  • economic, geopolitical, and other conditions affecting commercial activity, including the potential application of tariffs, trade wars, recessions, or reduced immigration levels;

  • unanticipated changes in content or equipment costs;

  • changing conditions in the entertainment, information, and communications industries;

  • sports-related work stoppages or cancellations and labour disputes;

  • the integration of acquisitions;

  • litigation and tax matters;

  • the level of competitive intensity;

  • the emergence of new opportunities;

  • external threats, such as epidemics, pandemics, and other public health crises, natural disasters, the effects of climate change, or cyberattacks, among others;

  • we may not proceed with, or complete, any acquisition of the MLSE non-controlling interest or other transaction for the purpose of unlocking additional value from our sports and other media

    assets, in each case within the anticipated timing or at all, due to alternative opportunities or requirements, general economic and market conditions, or other internal or external considerations;

  • we may not be successful in unlocking additional value from our sports and other media assets;

  • anticipated asset sales may not be achieved within the expected timeframes or at all for proceeds in the amount or type expected;

  • new interpretations or accounting standards, or changes to existing interpretations and accounting standards, from accounting standards bodies;

  • changes to the methodology, criteria, or conclusions used by rating agencies in assessing or assigning equity treatment or equity credit on our subordinated notes or for the network transaction;

  • we may use proceeds from the network transaction for different purposes due to alternative opportunities or requirements, general economic and market conditions, or other internal or external considerations; and

  • the other risks outlined in "Risks and Uncertainties Affecting our Business" in our 2024 Annual MD&A.

These risks, uncertainties, and other factors can also affect our objectives, strategies, plans, and intentions. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties, or other factors materialize, our objectives, strategies, plans, or intentions change, or any other factors or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, our actual results and our plans could vary materially from what we currently foresee.

Accordingly, we warn investors to exercise caution when considering statements containing forward-looking information and caution them that it would be unreasonable to rely on such statements as creating legal rights regarding our future results or plans. We are under no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter any statements containing forward-looking information or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. All of the forward-looking information in this earnings release is qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
