1 | Cash outflows in respect of interest payments on our short-term borrowings, sustainability-linked notes, commercial paper, amounts drawn under our credit facilities (if any), other (unsecured) and junior subordinated notes have been calculated based upon the interest rates and, if applicable, foreign exchange rates, in effect as at the relevant statement of financial position date.
2 | The amounts included in undiscounted non-derivative long-term debt in respect of U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt, and the corresponding amounts in the long-term debt currency swap receive column, have been determined based upon the foreign exchange rates in effect as at the relevant statement of financial position date. The contractual amounts of hedged U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt at maturity, in effect, are reflected in the long-term debt currency swap pay column as gross cash flows are exchanged pursuant to the currency swap agreements; however, the maturities and gross cash flows for the TELUS Corporation junior subordinated notes reflect the initial fixed-rate reset date.
3 | The amounts included in undiscounted short-term borrowings in respect of U.S. dollar-denominated short-term borrowings, and the corresponding derivative liability amounts, if any, included in the currency swap pay column amounts, have been determined based upon the foreign exchange rates in effect as at the relevant statement of financial position date. The derivative liability hedging amounts, if any, for the contractual amounts of hedged U.S. dollar-denominated short-term borrowings are included in the currency swap pay column amounts as net cash flows are exchanged pursuant to the currency swap agreements. Gross cash flows are exchanged pursuant to European euro – U.S. dollar currency swaps and have been calculated based upon the interest rates and foreign exchange rates in effect as at the relevant statement of financial position date.

1 | These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in net income and/or other comprehensive income generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in net income and/or other comprehensive income may not be linear. In this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the amount of net income and/or other comprehensive income is calculated without changing any other factors; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

Unless otherwise noted, hedge ratio is 1:1 and is established by assessing the degree of matching between the notional amounts of hedging items and the notional amounts of the associated hedged items (variable notional amounts of hedging items and variable notional amounts of associated hedged items in respect of virtual power purchase agreements).
4 | Designated as held for trading (HFT) and classified as fair value through net income upon initial recognition; hedge accounting is not applied.
5 | We designate only the spot element as the hedging item. As at June 30, 2026, the foreign currency basis spread included in the fair value of the derivative instruments, which is used for purposes of assessing hedge ineffectiveness, was $(24) (December 31, 2025 – $(22)).
