IFRIC Agenda Decision on Demand Deposits with Restrictions on Use arising from a Contract with a Third Party (IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows) | In April 2022, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued an agenda decision clarifying that an entity should present a demand deposit with restrictions on use arising from a contract with a third party as cash and cash equivalents in the statements of financial position and cash flows, unless those restrictions change the nature of the deposit such that it no longer meets the definition of cash in IAS 7. | In Q2 2022, we applied this agenda decision retrospectively to each prior period presented, the impact of which was limited to the classification of funding of $97 million received in Q1 2021 under a subsidy agreement with the Government of Québec. The application of this agenda decision resulted in the following: •an increase in Cash of $82 million with a corresponding decrease in Other current assets in the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021 •an increase in Capital expenditures of ($3) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and ($15) million for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the statements of cash flows •an increase in Other financing activities of nil and $97 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $97 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the statement of cash flows. •no impact in the statement of financial position as at January 1, 2021 as the funding was received in Q1 2021.

Future changes to accounting standards

The following amendments to standards issued by the IASB have not yet been adopted by BCE.

STANDARD | DESCRIPTION | IMPACT | EFFECTIVE DATE
Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements | These amendments require that entities disclose material accounting policies, as defined, instead of significant accounting policies. | We are currently assessing the impact of these amendments on the disclosure of our accounting policies. | Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted.

Note 4 | Business acquisition

In February 2022, Bell acquired EBOX and other related companies, which provide Internet, telephone and television services to consumers and businesses in Québec and parts of Ontario for a total cash consideration of $153 million ($139 million net of cash acquired). The acquisition of EBOX and other related companies is expected to accelerate growth in Bell's residential and small business customers. The results of the acquired companies are included in our Bell Wireline segment.
The allocation of the purchase price includes provisional estimates and has been primarily allocated to goodwill. Goodwill arises principally from expected synergies and future growth and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Operating revenues of $18 million from EBOX are included in the consolidated income statements from the date of acquisition. The transaction did not have a significant impact on our net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

12 BCE Inc. 2022 SECOND QUARTER SHAREHOLDER REPORT

Note 7 | Impairment of assets

2022
During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded an impairment charge of $106 million on right-of-use assets for certain office spaces we ceased using as part of our real estate optimization strategy as a result of our hybrid work policy.
2021
During the second quarter of 2021, we identified indicators of impairment for our Bell Media radio markets, notably a decline in advertising revenue and an increase in the discount rate resulting from the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, impairment testing was required for our group of radio cash-generating units (CGUs).
Impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $164 million and $167 million, respectively, related primarily to $163 million of charges for various radio markets within our Bell Media segment. These charges included $150 million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences, and $13 million to property, plant and equipment mainly for buildings and network infrastructure and equipment. They were determined by comparing the carrying value of the CGUs to their fair value less cost of disposal. We estimated the fair value of the CGUs using both discounted cash flows and market-based valuation models, which include five-year cash flow projections derived from business plans reviewed by senior management for the period of July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, using a discount rate of 8.5% and a perpetuity growth rate of (2.0)% as well as market multiple data from public companies and market transactions. After impairments, the carrying value of our group of radio CGUs was $235 million.

Equity (loss) gain from investments in associates and joint ventures
We recorded a loss on investment of $42 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and a loss on investment of $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to equity losses on our share of an obligation to repurchase at fair value the minority interest in one of BCE's joint ventures. The obligation is marked to market each reporting period and the gain or loss on investment is recorded as equity gains or losses from investments in associates and joint ventures.
Gains on investments
In Q2 2022, we recorded a gain on investment of $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, related to an obligation to repurchase at fair value the minority interest in one of our subsidiaries.
On March 1, 2022, we completed the previously announced sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary 6362222 Canada Inc. (Createch). We recorded cash proceeds of $54 million and a gain on sale of $39 million (before tax expense of $2 million).
Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included Createch revenue of $17 million and net earnings of $1 million. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included Createch revenue of $10 million and $34 million and net earnings of nil and $1 million respectively.

Note 9 | Earnings per share

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted (in millions) | 912.8 |  | 905.3 |  | 911.8 |  | 904.8 |

(1)The calculation of the assumed exercise of stock options includes the effect of the average unrecognized future compensation cost of dilutive options. It excludes options for which the exercise price is higher than the average market value of a BCE common share. The number of excluded options was nil for the second quarter and the first half of 2022, compared to 3,337,131 for the second quarter of 2021 and 10,458,921 for the first half of 2021.

Note 10 | Debt

On February 11, 2022, Bell Canada issued, under its 2016 trust indenture, 3.65% Series US-7 Notes, with a principal amount of $750 million in U.S. dollars ($954 million in Canadian dollars), which mature on August 15, 2052. The Series US-7 Notes have been hedged for foreign currency fluctuations through cross currency interest rate swaps. See Note 12, Financial assets and liabilities, for additional details.
The Series US-7 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BCE.
14 BCE Inc. 2022 SECOND QUARTER SHAREHOLDER REPORT

On March 16, 2022, Bell Canada redeemed, prior to maturity, its 3.35% Series M-26 medium-term note (MTN) debentures, having an outstanding principal amount of $1 billion, which were due on March 22, 2023. As a result, in Q1 2022, we recognized early debt redemption charges of $18 million, which were recorded in Other (expense) income in the consolidated income statement.
Securitization program
Subsequent to quarter end, we entered into a new securitization program which replaces our previous securitized trade receivables program and now includes wireless device financing plan receivables. As a result, the maximum amount available under our securitization program increased from $1.3 billion to $2.3 billion.
Similar to the previous program, the securitization program is recorded as a floating rate revolving loan secured by certain receivables. We continue to service trade receivables and wireless device financing plan receivables under the securitization program, which matures in July 2025 unless previously terminated. The lenders' interest in the collection of these receivables ranks ahead of our interests, which means that we are exposed to certain risks of default on the amounts securitized.
We have provided various credit enhancements in the form of overcollateralization and subordination of our retained interests. The lenders have no further claim on our other assets if customers do not pay the amounts owed.
Additionally, subsequent to quarter end, our loans secured by receivables increased from $900 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.6 billion based on a total receivable balance collateralized under the program of $3.2 billion.

MARKET RISK
CURRENCY EXPOSURES
We use forward contracts, options and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage foreign currency risk related to anticipated purchases and certain foreign currency debt.
In Q1 2022, we entered into cross currency interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $750 million in U.S. dollars ($954 million in Canadian dollars) to hedge the U.S. currency exposure of our US-7 Notes maturing in 2052. See Note 10, Debt, for additional details.
A 10% depreciation (appreciation) in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a loss of $13 million (loss of $21 million) recognized in net earnings at June 30, 2022 and a gain of $138 million (loss of $119 million) recognized in Other comprehensive income at June 30, 2022, with all other variables held constant.
A 10% depreciation (appreciation) in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the Philippine peso would result in a gain (loss) of $6 million recognized in Other comprehensive income at June 30, 2022, with all other variables held constant.

INTEREST RATE EXPOSURES
In Q2 2022, we sold interest rate swaptions maturing in Q3 2022 with a notional amount of $750 million for $6 million.

In 2022, we entered into cross currency basis rate swaps maturing in 2023 with a notional amount of $540 million to hedge economically the basis rate exposure on future debt issuances. The fair value of these cross currency basis rate swaps at June 30, 2022 was a liability of $8 million recognized in Trade payables and other liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the statements of financial position.

The fair value of these leveraged interest rate options at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was nil and a liability of $2 million, respectively, recognized in Trade payables and other liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the statements of financial position. A gain of $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, relating to these leveraged interest rate options is recognized in Other (expense) income in the income statements.
A 1% increase (decrease) in interest rates would result in a loss of $40 million and a (gain of $28 million) recognized in net earnings at June 30, 2022, with all other variables held constant.
A 0.1% increase (decrease) in cross currency basis swap rates would result in a gain (loss) of $7 million recognized in net earnings at June 30, 2022, with all other variables held constant.
EQUITY PRICE EXPOSURES
We use equity forward contracts on BCE’s common shares to hedge economically the cash flow exposure related to the settlement of equity settled share-based compensation plans. The fair value of our equity forward contracts at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was a net asset of $16 million and $130 million, respectively, recognized in Other current assets, Trade payables and other liabilities, Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities in the statements of financial position. A loss of $81 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, relating to these equity forward contracts is recognized in Other (expense) income in the income statements.

Note 16 | COVID-19

During the second quarter of 2022, the unfavourable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial and operating performance continued to moderate due to our operational execution and easing of government restrictions during the quarter. However, due to uncertainties relating to the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and possible further resurgences in the number of COVID-19 cases, including as a result of the potential emergence of other variants, and various potential outcomes, it is difficult at this time to estimate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Our business and financial results could continue to be unfavourably impacted, and could again become more significantly and negatively impacted, in future periods, including, among others, as a result of global supply chain challenges adversely affecting our wireless and wireline product revenues.
