services, our goal is to use a multi-product offering to achieve competitive differentiation by offering a premium, integrated set of services that provides customers with more freedom, flexibility and choice. We also make use of limited-time
promotional offers featuring discounted rate plans, special rates on wireless handsets and TV receivers, as well as other incentives, to stimulate new customer acquisition and retain existing customers or to respond to competitive actions in our
markets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We focus our marketing efforts on a coordinated program of video, print, audio, Internet, outdoor signage, direct mail and <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">point-of-sale</FONT></FONT> media promotions. We engage in mass market advertising in order to maintain our brand and support direct and indirect distribution channels. Coordinated
marketing efforts throughout our service area ensure that our marketing message is presented consistently across all our markets. Promoting the Bell brand is complemented by our other brand marketing efforts, reinforcing awareness of all our
services and capitalizing on the size and breadth of our customer base across all product lines. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The Bell brands play a key role in product
positioning. Our branding is straightforward and directly supports our strategy of delivering a better customer experience at every level. In July 2021, Virgin Mobile Canada officially rebranded to Virgin Plus, a new name and a new identity that
reflect the company&#146;s evolving service offerings beyond mobility. In addition, on July&nbsp;25, 2023, Virgin Plus unveiled a fresh new look with more affordable service offerings, along with a new brand campaign and updated member benefits. The
service offerings include the introduction of unlimited nationwide rate plans and access to 5G at an affordable price with no zones for members across Canada. These new offerings join the lineup of Virgin Plus service offerings, including high-speed
Internet and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">app-based</FONT> TV service for members in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Acquiring and retaining wireless
subscribers is a key marketing objective that we seek to achieve through our networks and suite of leading-edge devices and services to drive higher usage and increased adoption of data services. We offer unlimited plans featuring unlimited data
access with no overage charges. We also offer SmartPay device financing plans that let Bell Mobility customers buy their new smartphones with 24 interest-free installments separate from their service plan, and we similarly offer Sweet Pay device
financing plans for Virgin Plus customers. In addition, we offer Connect Everything plans that provide a way to link all of a customer&#146;s Bell devices with a pool of data to share across smartphones, tablets, smartwatches and other devices, such
as wireless trackers, security cameras and vehicles with Bell Connected Car. In January 2022, we introduced mobile unlimited Ultimate plans to make the most of 5G with more data at maximum speeds, international messaging, high-definition video
quality and hotspot capability. We also continue to offer discounts on the price of wireless handsets in exchange for a contractual commitment from a subscriber, a practice also used by other Canadian wireless operators. As the Canadian wireless
market further matures and competition intensifies, customer retention is increasingly important. Accordingly, we employ customer retention initiatives aimed at increasing our customers&#146; level of satisfaction and loyalty. </P>

wireless spectrum in the auction conducted by ISED, and on May&nbsp;19, 2023, Bell obtained the right to use, through subordination, certain of Xplore Inc.&#146;s 3500 MHz spectrum licences in Qu&eacute;bec after approval from ISED. On
November&nbsp;30, 2023, Bell announced having secured the right to acquire 939 wireless spectrum licences in the 3800 MHz spectrum auction for $518&nbsp;million. On January&nbsp;17, 2024, Bell made a first payment of $104&nbsp;million to ISED. The
remaining balance of $414&nbsp;million was paid on May&nbsp;29, 2024, at which time Bell acquired the 3800 MHz spectrum licences. Essential to Canada&#146;s ongoing transition to 5G communications, these high-capacity airwaves support Bell&#146;s
delivery of enhanced 5G digital experiences to Canadian consumers and businesses in urban, rural and remote communities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2024, Bell continued to
expand its 5G network to new markets across Qu&eacute;bec, Ontario, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba. Bell&#146;s 5G network covered 87% of Canada&#146;s population at December&nbsp;31, 2024, a significant increase from the 26% of Canada&#146;s
population covered at the end of 2020, attributable in part to our capital expenditure acceleration program, which provided for $1.7&nbsp;billion in additional network funding in 2021 and 2022, in addition to the approximately $4&nbsp;billion that
Bell typically spent each year in network expansion and enhancement prior to 2020. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In July 2022, Bell began deploying 3500 MHz wireless spectrum,
unleashing the next phase of 5G advancement and allowing Bell to launch its 5G+ network. Bell 5G+ is expected to be faster and more responsive, allowing for a superior mobile experience. Initially launched in southern Ontario, the 5G+ network was
expanded to Manitoba and many centres cross Atlantic Canada, as well as in other communities, and reached 60% of Canada&#146;s population at December&nbsp;31, 2024, with the availability of peak theoretical download speeds of 3 Gbps in select
markets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2022, Bell also announced plans to roll out a 5G standalone core network, starting in Toronto. The addition of 3500 MHz wireless spectrum
allows Bell to deliver a new 5G core network to Canadian businesses, supported by world-class SA architecture, and which is expected, over time, to unlock even faster speeds and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ultra-low</FONT> latency. Over time, a

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On November&nbsp;16, 2021, Bell and Nokia announced the first successful test of 25G passive optical
network (PON) fibre broadband technology in North America, which validates that current GPON and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">XGS-PON</FONT> broadband technology and future 25G PON can work seamlessly together on the same fibre hardware, which
is being deployed throughout the network. 25G PON delivers significant symmetrical bandwidth capacity that will support new use cases such as premium service and 5G transport. Further, in partnership with Nokia, Bell achieved a significant
advancement in Canadian broadband technology with the successful completion of the country&#146;s first 50G PON technology trial at our Advanced Technical Lab in Montr&eacute;al. To do this, we leveraged our existing fibre infrastructure to provide
even faster Internet speeds to customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>High-speed fibre deployment </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our strategic imperative to build the best networks has included the expansion of our fibre network to more homes and business locations. Bell has
invested significantly to deploy FTTP connections to overlay legacy copper infrastructure, with fibre directly to homes and businesses. In addition, Bell continues to deploy FTTP to all new urban and suburban housing developments in Ontario,
Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba, in addition to Bell&#146;s ongoing deployment of FTTP to multi-dwelling units and business locations. In our view, FTTP, in which optical fibre cables are used to connect each and every location,
is the best available network architecture to support future bandwidth-demanding IP services and applications. Our residential fibre-optic Internet service, marketed as Fibe Internet and Virgin Plus Internet, is enabled by our fibre network,
offering symmetrical download and upload speeds of up to 3 Gbps with FTTP through our Gigabit Fibe 3.0 service, as well as download speeds of up to 100 Mbps with FTTN. On February&nbsp;8, 2024, we announced that we would cap fibre speeds at 3 Gbps
as a result of federal government policies and the CRTC&#146;s decision of November&nbsp;6, 2023 that imposed an interim aggregated access to FTTP facilities obligation and discourages network investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Introduced in April 2022, the Bell Gigabit Fibe 3.0 service was initially offered in eligible areas of Toronto and has since been rolled out in several
communities across Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, Manitoba and the Atlantic provinces. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Bell Gigabit Fibe service includes the new Giga Hub with <FONT

and game online on any or all of their household devices simultaneously. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In addition to the significant deployments of FTTP direct fibre connections
announced in prior years, which continued throughout the Greater Toronto Area/905 region surrounding Toronto, on the island of Montr&eacute;al, in Hamilton and Winnipeg, we announced in August 2022 an investment of over $650&nbsp;million in
partnership with a Government of Ontario investment of $484&nbsp;million to deploy Bell&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-fibre</FONT> network to over 80,000 homes and businesses in underserved regions across Ontario, as part of the
Ontario Accelerated High Speed Internet Program (AHSIP). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Also, in addition to several direct fibre deployment projects announced in a number of
smaller communities over the past few years, on March&nbsp;22, 2021, Bell announced that it would roll out high-speed Internet service to several underserved areas of Qu&eacute;bec in partnership with the governments of Canada and Qu&eacute;bec as
part of their Operation High Speed initiative to connect all Qu&eacute;becers by September 2022. The Bell project provides 100% fibre Internet connections to approximately 31,000 homes and businesses in nearly 100 Qu&eacute;bec communities. In 2023,
Northwestel completed the final year of construction in its Every Community Project, launching <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">fibre-to-the-home</FONT></FONT></FONT> service in 24
locations in Yukon and 18 locations in the Northwest Territories. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2023, Bell announced the expansion of pure fibre Internet service to additional
homes and businesses, including in the Ontario communities of Leamington, Lincoln, Essex Centre and Harrow, and in six more communities across rural Manitoba. In addition, as part of the Grand Council Treaty #3 Dibaajimowin Project, Bell will
provide broadband fibre-optic Internet access to 23 Indigenous and 13 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-Indigenous</FONT> communities in Northwestern Ontario. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2025, our planned capital spending will be focused on our strategic imperatives, reflecting an appropriate level of investment in our networks and
services. As a direct result of the CRTC&#146;s rejection on February&nbsp;3, 2025 of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Governor-in-Council</FONT></FONT> request to reconsider its November 2023 decision that
provided large carriers temporary wholesale tariffed access to Bell&#146;s FTTP network, we expect to reduce our capital expenditures by more than we anticipated would be the case for 2025. Consequently, our near-term fibre build target of
8.3&nbsp;million locations by the end of 2025 will not be reached. At December&nbsp;31, 2024, our FTTP footprint covered approximately 7.8&nbsp;million homes and businesses in Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In addition to our Fibe Internet service, we offer Internet under the Virgin Plus brand for customers in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec. This high-speed
Internet service offers existing Virgin Plus customers download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 100 Mbps. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Additionally, we continue
to deploy our IPTV services in areas in Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba where cable providers had long been dominant. As of December&nbsp;31, 2024, our IPTV services had the capacity to service approximately
9.8&nbsp;million homes in major cities and municipalities across Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On November&nbsp;4, 2024, BCE announced that Bell Canada had entered into an agreement to acquire Ziply
Fiber, the leading fibre Internet provider in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., for approximately $3.65&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars (approximately $5&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars) in cash and the assumption of outstanding net debt of
approximately $1.45&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars (approximately $2&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars) to be rolled over at transaction close, representing a transaction value of approximately $5.1&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars (approximately
$7&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars). This strategic acquisition is expected to grow Bell&#146;s position as North America&#146;s third largest fibre Internet provider. Together, Bell Canada and Ziply Fiber have a goal to reach approximately
12&nbsp;million fiber locations in North America by the end of 2028. This is expected to accelerate subscriber, revenue and EBITDA growth for Bell. The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain
regulatory approvals, including the Federal Communications Commission, and approvals by state Public Utilities Commissions. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025. This transaction will enhance Bell Canada&#146;s
growth profile and strategic position by giving it a foothold in the large, underpenetrated U.S. fibre market, while increasing its scale, diversifying its operating footprint and unlocking significant growth opportunities. Refer to section 4.1, <FONT

outstanding net debt of approximately $1.45&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars (approximately $2&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars) to be rolled over at transaction close, representing a transaction value of approximately $5.1&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars
(approximately $7&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars). This strategic acquisition is expected to grow Bell&#146;s position as North America&#146;s third largest fibre internet provider. Together, Bell Canada and Ziply Fiber have a goal to reach
approximately 12&nbsp;million fiber locations in North America by the end of 2028. This is expected to accelerate subscriber, revenue and EBITDA growth for Bell. </P>

November&nbsp;9, 2023 to November&nbsp;8, 2024. BCE repurchased and cancelled an aggregate of 5,599,285 Preferred Shares under the 2023 NCIB. On November&nbsp;7, 2024, BCE announced the renewal of its normal course issuer bid (2024 NCIB), which will

the 2024 NCIB because it believed that, from time to time, the first preferred shares may trade in price ranges that do not fully reflect their value. BCE believes that, in such circumstances, the repurchase of its first preferred shares represents
an appropriate use of its available funds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The actual number of first preferred shares to be repurchased under the 2024 NCIB and the timing of such
repurchases will be at BCE&#146;s discretion and shall be subject to the limitations set out by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The 2024 NCIB may be conducted through the facilities of the TSX as well as alternative trading systems in Canada, if
eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by securities regulatory authorities. At December&nbsp;31, 2024, BCE had repurchased and cancelled 1,045,000 first preferred shares under the 2024 NCIB. </P>

ratio level in 2025 and dividend payout policy target, the reduction of BCE&#146;s net debt leverage ratio, anticipated reductions in capital expenditures, the status of the DRP and the time period during which the discount thereunder will be

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On February&nbsp;6, 2025, the BCE Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.9975 per common share, payable on April&nbsp;15, 2025, to shareholders of
record at the close of business on March&nbsp;14, 2025. BCE&#146;s common share dividend and common share dividend payout policy will continue to be reviewed by the BCE Board. In its review, the BCE Board will consider the competitive, macroeconomic
and regulatory environments as well as progress being made on our strategic and operational roadmap. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">BCE&#146;s stated common share dividend payout
policy is to target a dividend payout range of 65% to 75% of free cash flow<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP>. This policy is intended to be a framework conveying to market participants BCE&#146;s long-term approach and
philosophy to allocating cash generated by the business and considers BCE&#146;s strategic business priorities, long-term growth opportunities and capital funding requirements. The policy is designed to remain consistent in the long term and does
not vary to take into account, and is not intended to be adjusted to reflect, our accelerated capital expenditures to advance our network investments in fibre, 5G and 5G+ network infrastructure which occurred from 2021 to 2024, transitory events
affecting the industry or regulatory environment in which we operate, strategic acquisitions, and other specific events occurring from time to time. The policy is not intended to restrict the BCE Board&#146;s discretion in declaring dividends and
does not bind BCE in declaring any set amount of dividend. As a result, dividends are not automatically reduced in a year when free cash flow is lower or increased in a year when free cash flow is higher. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">BCE&#146;s dividend payout policy, setting the common share dividend rate and the declaration of dividends are subject to the discretion of the BCE Board
and, consequently, there can be no guarantee that BCE&#146;s dividend payout policy will be maintained or achieved, that the dividend on common shares will be maintained, or that dividends will be declared. Dividend rates and the declaration of
dividends by the BCE Board are ultimately dependent on BCE&#146;s operations and financial results, which are in turn subject to various assumptions and risks, including those outlined in section 1,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024, our dividend payout ratio<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(2)</SUP> was 125%, an increase from
111% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, due to lower free cash flow and higher cash dividends paid on common shares. Free cash flow decreased by $256&nbsp;million in 2024, compared to 2023, due mainly to $958&nbsp;million lower cash flows
from operating activities, partly offset by a $684&nbsp;million reduction in capital expenditures. The $958&nbsp;million decrease in cash flows from operating activities was due mainly to a $377&nbsp;million year-over-year decline in the net change
in operating assets and liabilities, $273&nbsp;million higher interest paid due to higher average debt levels and higher interest rates, $152&nbsp;million higher severance and other costs paid and $83&nbsp;million higher income taxes paid, partly
offset by a $172&nbsp;million increase in adjusted EBITDA<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(3)</SUP>. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">BCE&#146;s dividend payout ratio
for 2024 exceeded the high end of our policy range by 50%, or approximately $1.9&nbsp;billion, due mainly to substantial capital expenditures as we continued to make generational investments in our networks to support the buildout of our fibre, 5G
and 5G+ network infrastructure, significant severance payments related to workforce restructuring initiatives and lower cash from operating assets and liabilities. </P>

purchased on the secondary market with no discount. The issuance of treasury shares under the discounted DRP enables BCE to retain cash that would otherwise have been paid as cash dividends. The shareholder enrollment rate for the dividend payment
made in January 2025 attained 34%, resulting in $308&nbsp;million of cash being retained and contributing to an expected reduction in the dividend payout ratio in 2025. The BCE Board will be evaluating the opportunity to terminate the discount under
the DRP in 2025, taking into account several factors, including the price per share at which shares are being issued under the DRP and BCE&#146;s progress on initiatives towards reducing its net debt leverage ratio. </P>

Vid&eacute;otron Lt&eacute;e (Vid&eacute;otron). The claim alleges that Bell Canada pursues itinerant merchant activities in Qu&eacute;bec without complying with the requirements of the <I>Qu&eacute;bec Consumer Protection Act</I> (QCPA). The claim
estimates damages at $78.5&nbsp;million. Vid&eacute;otron is also seeking an injunction ordering Bell Canada to obtain a permit and comply with the provisions of the QCPA governing itinerant merchants. On January&nbsp;8, 2019, Cogeco Connexion Inc.
filed a claim in damages and for injunctive relief against Bell Canada in the Qu&eacute;bec Superior Court, which is similar to the Vid&eacute;otron claim referred to above. The claim estimates damages at $9.2&nbsp;million. </P>

Bell Aliant Regional Communications Inc., Bell MTS and NorthernTel, Limited Partnership by Rovi Guides, Inc. (Rovi) and Tivo Solutions Inc. (Tivo). The claim alleges that the defendants, through their manufacture, distribution, sale and use of
certain features of their IPTV systems, have infringed, and induced users to infringe, on six patents variously owned by the plaintiffs (the two Tivo patents were subsequently withdrawn). In addition to declaratory and injunctive relief, the
plaintiffs seek damages in the form of unpaid royalties in relation to the defendants&#146; revenues from their IPTV services or an accounting of the defendants&#146; profits. Following a trial on the merits of the liability phase, on
October&nbsp;7, 2022, the trial judge delivered a judgment completely in the defendants&#146; favour, dismissing all of the plaintiffs&#146; claims and invalidating all four of the remaining patents. The plaintiffs&#146; appeal from that judgment

owned by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek similar damages as in the 2018 action. On February&nbsp;15, 2023, the Court granted the defendants&#146; motion </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On February&nbsp;6, 2025, BCE&#146;s Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.9975&nbsp;per common share,
payable on April&nbsp;15, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March&nbsp;14, 2025. BCE&#146;s common share dividend and common share dividend payout policy will continue to be reviewed by the BCE Board. In its review, the BCE
Board will consider the competitive, macroeconomic and regulatory environments as well as progress being made on our strategic and operational roadmap. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">BCE&#146;s stated common share dividend payout policy is to target a dividend payout range of 65% to 75% of free cash flow. Our policy is intended to be a
framework conveying to market participants BCE&#146;s long-term approach and philosophy to allocating cash generated by the business and considers our strategic business priorities, long-term growth opportunities and capital funding requirements.
The policy is designed to remain consistent in the long term and does not vary to take into account, and is not intended to be adjusted to reflect, our accelerated capital expenditures to advance our network investments in fibre, 5G and 5G+ network
infrastructure which occurred from&nbsp;2021 to 2024, transitory events affecting the industry or regulatory environment in which we operate, strategic acquisitions, and other specific events occurring from time to time. The policy is not intended
to restrict the BCE Board&#146;s discretion in declaring dividends and does not bind BCE in declaring any set amount of dividend. As a result, dividends are not automatically reduced in a year when free cash flow is lower or increased in a year when
free cash flow is higher. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">BCE&#146;s dividend payout policy, setting the common share dividend rate and the declaration of dividends are subject to
the discretion of the BCE Board and, consequently, there can be no guarantee that BCE&#146;s dividend payout policy will be maintained or achieved, that the dividend on common shares will be maintained or that dividends will be declared. Dividend
rates and the declaration of dividends by the BCE Board are ultimately dependent on BCE&#146;s operations and financial results, which are in turn subject to various assumptions and risks, including those outlined in this MD&amp;A. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024, our dividend payout ratio&#8201;<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP> was 125%, an increase
from 111% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, due to lower free cash flow and higher cash dividends paid on common shares. Free cash flow decreased by $256&nbsp;million in 2024, compared to 2023, due mainly to $958&nbsp;million lower cash
flows from operating activities, partly offset by a $684&nbsp;million reduction in capital expenditures.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The $958&nbsp;million decrease in cash flows from operating activities was due mainly to a
$377&nbsp;million year-over-year decline in the net change in operating assets and liabilities, $273&nbsp;million higher interest paid due to higher average debt levels and higher interest rates, $152&nbsp;million higher severance and other costs
paid and $83&nbsp;million higher income taxes paid, partly offset by a $172&nbsp;million increase in adjusted EBITDA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our dividend payout ratio
for&nbsp;2024 exceeded the high end of our policy range by 50%, or approximately $1.9&nbsp;billion, due mainly to substantial capital expenditures as we continued to make generational investments in our networks to support the buildout of our fibre,
5G and 5G+ network infrastructure, significant severance payments related to workforce restructuring initiatives and lower cash from operating assets and liabilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In Q4&nbsp;2024, BCE&#146;s DRP was amended to provide, at the BCE Board&#146;s discretion, for the issuance of new common shares from treasury at a
discount to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the applicable dividend payment date (Average Market Price). Commencing with the dividend paid on January&nbsp;15, 2025, and
subsequently until further notice, common shares distributed under the DRP are being issued from treasury at a discount of 2% to the Average Market Price. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Common shares delivered to participants under the DRP in reinvestment of cash dividends were previously purchased on the secondary market with no
discount. The issuance of treasury shares under the discounted DRP enables BCE to retain cash that would otherwise have been paid as cash dividends. The shareholder enrollment rate for the dividend payment made in January&nbsp;2025 attained 34%,
resulting in $308&nbsp;million of cash being retained and contributing to an expected reduction in the dividend payout ratio in 2025. The BCE Board will be evaluating the opportunity to terminate the discount under the DRP in 2025, taking into
account several factors including the price per share at which shares are being issued under the DRP and BCE&#146;s progress on initiatives towards reducing its net debt leverage ratio. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our dividend payout ratio for&nbsp;2025 is currently expected to be lower than our&nbsp;2024 dividend payout ratio of 125%. This expectation:
(i)&nbsp;reflects a planned reduction in capital expenditures of approximately $500&nbsp;million compared to 2024; (ii) excludes the impact of the acquisition of Ziply Fiber, which is expected to close in the second half of 2025; and

and other Board committees, as required, with an independent perspective on the state of risk and control within the organization. Collectively, these elements can be thought of as a &#147;three lines&#148; approach to risk management. Although the
risk management framework described in this section 1.5&nbsp;is aligned with industry practices, there can be no assurance that it will be sufficient to prevent the occurrence of events that could have a material adverse effect on our business,

in the business environment, they are discussed in a number of regular forums to share details and explore their relevance across the organization. Executive and senior management are integral to these activities in driving the identification,

constantly evolving based on internal and external factors. In a large organization, it is common to manage certain functions centrally for efficiency, scale and consistency. While the first line is often central to identification and management of
business risks, in many instances operational management works collaboratively with, and also relies on, the corporate functions that make up the second line of support in these areas. These corporate functions include Regulatory, Finance, Corporate
Security, Corporate Risk Management, Legal, Corporate Responsibility, Human Resources, Real Estate and Procurement. <B> </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify"><B>Legal and Regulatory
function:</B> This function is responsible for the regulatory portfolio, including an expanding range of obligations set out in new privacy and data protection laws being enacted in Canada and around the world. BCE has developed, and maintains, an
enhanced Data Governance Policy that encompasses the protection and appropriate use of data across its life cycle. A significant element of the data governance program relies on the Corporate Security activities outlined below and these two
functions work jointly with data owners, data custodians and other relevant employees to seek to ensure this policy is appropriately implemented. We recognize that a strong and consistently applied approach to data governance is essential to
maintaining the social licence necessary to achieve our business objectives. For more information on our approach to privacy and data security, refer to section 1.6, <I>Capitals and our corporate responsibility</I>, in this MD&amp;A. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify"><B>Finance function:</B> BCE&#146;s Finance function plays a pivotal role in seeking to identify, assess and manage risks through a number of activities,
which include financial performance management, external reporting, pension management, capital management, and oversight and execution practices related to the U.S. <I>Sarbanes-Oxley Act of</I><I></I><I>&nbsp;2002</I> and equivalent Canadian
securities legislation, including the establishment and maintenance of appropriate internal control over financial reporting. BCE has also established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures to seek to ensure that the information it
publicly discloses, including its business risks, is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. For more details concerning BCE&#146;s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures,

performance required across the organization through security policies and directives that define requirements to protect team members, company assets and information. In high and evolving risk areas such as information security, Corporate Security
leverages its experience and competence to develop strategies intended to mitigate the organization&#146;s risks. For instance, we have implemented security awareness training, policies and directives that seek to mitigate information security
threats. We further rely on security assessments to identify risks and review projects with the objective of ensuring that systems are deployed with the appropriate level of control, including access management, vulnerability management, security
monitoring and testing. We evaluate and seek to adapt our security policies and directives designed to protect our information and assets in light of the continuously evolving nature and sophistication of information security threats. However, given

the environmental impact of our operations. Waste reduction is essential to improving our operational efficiency by generating economic benefits, and better aligning with the values and expectations of our employees and customers.

<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Bell has managed waste reduction, reuse and recycling programs for more than 30&nbsp;years. We have waste reduction goals and strong monitoring processes
in place that enable us to track and report on our activities that generate waste. To manage the waste created from the electronic devices we distribute to customers, we have implemented effective and accessible
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-waste</FONT> collection programs for the recovery, reuse, refurbishment and recycling of customer-facing devices, including national take-back programs, drop boxes and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mail-in</FONT> instructions. To measure the success of these programs, we track the number of recovered electronic devices annually. At Bell, we believe in leading by example, and so to continue to manage and reduce
the waste generated from our own operations, we have the target to reach and maintain a 30% reduction of total waste sent to landfill by 2030, from a&nbsp;2019 baseline year. In 2024, to enhance our waste diversion efforts, we launched a fibre optic
cable recycling program in Qu&eacute;bec. This project has been under development for several years due to the challenges of recycling fibre optic cables and the limited options available in Canada. Through working towards waste reduction, we are
striving to build a resilient path to circularity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Key metric </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:ARIAL"><FONT

associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, heating/ cooling and steam required by Bell&#146;s activities. We use market-based GHG accounting (emission factors are specified within the contractual agreements with the applicable
supplier) to evaluate our GHG targets. Scope 1&nbsp;and 2&nbsp;(market-based) emissions are sometimes collectively referred to in this MD&amp;A as &#147;operational emissions&#148;. Scope 3&nbsp;emissions are all indirect emissions (not included in
scope 2) that occur in our value chain, including both upstream and downstream emissions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">By definition, GHG emissions from scope 3&nbsp;(upstream
and downstream indirect emissions) occur from sources owned or controlled by other entities in Bell&#146;s value chain (such as our suppliers, employees and customers). As a result, measuring scope 3&nbsp;emissions is more complex than measuring
scope 1&nbsp;and scope&nbsp;2&nbsp;emissions, for which we are able to obtain primary data (such as litres of fuel consumed within our vehicle fleet and kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed within our buildings). For scope&nbsp;3&nbsp;categories
for which primary data is not available, we have to rely on secondary data (such as financial data and industry-average data from published databases). These data collection challenges contribute to uncertainty in scope 3&nbsp;emissions measurement.

lower. To achieve our target to have carbon neutral operations in 2025, we will need to purchase a significant amount of carbon credits to offset our scope 1&nbsp;and 2&nbsp;GHG emissions that will not have been avoided by internal initiatives. In
2024, our scope 1&nbsp;and 2&nbsp;emissions represented 9% of our total carbon footprint. Our target for carbon neutral operations excludes our scope&nbsp;3&nbsp;emissions which represented 91% of our carbon footprint in 2024. </P>

and regulatory environments, increasing global and national competition, and evolving customer preferences. As our business evolves and technological advances drive new services, delivery models and strategic partnerships, our competitive landscape
continues to intensify and expand to include new and emerging competitors, certain of which were historically our partners or suppliers, as well as global-scale competitors, including, in particular, cloud and OTT service providers, IoT hardware and
software providers, VoIP providers, and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">web-based</FONT> and satellite-based players that are penetrating the communications space with significant resources and a large customer base over which to amortize
costs. Certain of these competitors are changing the competitive landscape by establishing a material market presence, which has accelerated in recent years. Established competitors further seek to consolidate or expand their product offerings
through acquisitions in order to increase scale and market opportunities in light of these changes in market dynamics. Failure to effectively respond to such evolving competitive dynamics could adversely affect our business and financial results.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Technology substitution, IP networks and recent regulatory decisions, in particular, continue to facilitate
entry in our industry. In addition, the effects of government policies that result in the acquisition of spectrum at favourable pricing by regional facilities-based wireless service providers distort market dynamics. These factors have changed
industry economics and allowed competitors to launch new products and services and gain market share with far less investment in financial, marketing, human, technological and network resources than has historically been required. In particular,
with regulatory decisions mandating wholesale rates for wireline Internet and mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) access, competitors can deliver their services over our networks, leveraging regulatory obligations applicable to us, therefore
limiting their need to invest in building their own networks and impacting the network-based differentiation of our services and our ability to earn an appropriate return on investment in our networks. Such lower required investment by competitors
and impact on our return on investment challenges the monetization of our networks and our operating model. Moreover, foreign OTT players are currently not subject to the same Canadian content investment obligations as those imposed on Canadian
domestic digital suppliers, which provides them with a competitive advantage over us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">New technologies create a potential for diversifying our
product and service offerings and create growth opportunities. However, if we are unable to develop and deploy new solutions in advance of or concurrently with our competitors, if the market does not adopt these new technologies in pace with our
deployment of new solutions, or if we fail to adequately assess and manage the risks associated with these new solutions, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

service revenues of 5.2% and 0.4%, respectively. The decline in product revenues was attributable to lower consumer electronics sales at The Source due to permanent store closures and conversion to Best Buy Express as part of our distribution
partnership with Best Buy Canada, partly offset by greater wireless device sales, mainly resulting from a higher sales mix of premium mobile phones, moderated by lower contracted volumes. The decline in service revenues reflected greater
acquisition, retention and bundle discounts on wireline residential services, sustained wireless competitive pricing pressures, ongoing erosion in legacy voice, and satellite TV revenues, and continued lower demand for traditional broadcast TV
advertising. This was mitigated in part by higher wireless, retail Internet and IPTV subscriber bases, along with the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">flow-through</FONT> of rate increases, ongoing growth in media digital revenues, the contribution
from various acquisitions, and higher business solutions services revenue.&#8201;<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2024,

operating revenues in&nbsp;2024 decreased by 1.1% over last year, driven by lower product revenues of 5.2% and lower service revenues of 0.4%. The year-over-year decline in operating revenues was attributable to lower Bell CTS revenues of 1.4%, from
both lower product revenues of 5.2% and reduced service revenues of 0.7%, driven by continued erosion in wireline voice revenues, partly offset by higher wireline data and wireless revenues. The growth in Bell Media operating revenues of 1.1%
moderated the decline in BCE operating revenues, reflecting higher advertising and other revenues, partly offset by lower subscriber revenues<B>.</B> </P>

experienced low single-digit service revenue growth in 2024, which was largely attributable to continued customer growth despite slowing immigration and population growth. With penetration rates in other developed geographies (U.S., Europe and Asia)
well above 100%, the Canadian mobile phone penetration rate is expected to continue to increase, above and beyond the approximate rate of 93% for 2024, in line with the trend toward multiple devices, and the ongoing adoption of mobile devices and
services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In 2024, the Canadian wireless industry continued to experience heightened levels of competition nationally, particularly amongst flanker
brands. This competitive intensity has contributed to ongoing base rate plan pricing pressure, driving pressure to service revenue and offsetting subscriber growth. Additionally, continued declines in chargeable data usage driven by rising levels of
data allocation in monthly plans, including unlimited data plans, as well as other ongoing factors, such as the popularity of data sharing plans, including family plans, and an evolving shift in the customer mix toward
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traditional</FONT> mobile devices and tools such as video chats, along with increased adoption of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Canada-U.S.-Mexico</FONT> plans, are further eroding revenues. The <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">roll-out</FONT> of 5G network infrastructure continued in 2024, with 5G coverage by the national carriers reaching approximately 88% of the Canadian population at the end of 2024, compared to approximately 86% at the end
of 2023. For Bell, our long-standing focus on network excellence is reflected in the recognition we received from independent third-party sources, including being recognized as Canada&#146;s fastest and best 5G and 5G+ networks by GWS in
its&nbsp;2024 nationwide assessment of 5G networks. This marks the third consecutive year Bell has earned this recognition for its 5G network and the second consecutive year for its 5G+ network. </P>

products and services </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Wireless growth continues to be driven by the ongoing increase in data usage and adoption, including: higher-value
smartphones, unlimited data offerings, shared family data plans, IoT devices, as well as mobile access and related data services. These trends are expected to drive the growing demand for wireless data services for the foreseeable future,
particularly as the industry continues to shift to 5G. However, these growth opportunities are being offset by competitive pricing pressures and declining data overage revenues as adoption of unlimited data plans increases. Consequently, industry
ARPU is expected to continue to remain pressured for the foreseeable future. As a result of increased competitive intensity, the industry continues to see greater adoption of BYOD additions, resulting in increased switching activity between
carriers. Furthermore, recent government objectives to slow immigration growth in Canada, including fewer international student permits, could impact future industry subscriber growth and may lead to increased competitive intensity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">While LTE and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">LTE-A</FONT> technologies increase download speeds, encourage data usage and enhance the customer
experience, growth in data traffic poses challenges to mobile access technology. To better manage this data traffic, Canadian providers continue to evolve their networks and deploy spectrum to support the shift to 5G. Although the millimetre wave
(mmWave) band is important for the expansion of 5G networks, ISED has not yet indicated when the mmWave spectrum auction will commence. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">IoT
technologies connect communications-enabled devices via wireless technologies, allowing them to exchange key information and share processes. Advanced platforms and networks are already in place in industries such as transportation and logistics,
utilities and fleet management, with deployment ongoing in other sectors, including smart cities, manufacturing, retail, food services, consumer utilities, and connected cars. These industries are adopting IoT solutions, combined with other
applications, to digitally transform their operations and generate value from their connections. IoT presents a meaningful opportunity for growth in wireless connectivity, which can deliver services to customers more efficiently. IoT connectivity
generally has a lower ARPU when sold as a stand-alone service, but supports both revenue and margin growth, since it often leads to the sale of IoT applications or our other service offerings, enhancing customer account penetration with additional
services. In 2024, we added 310,882&nbsp;mobile connected devices, bringing our mobile connected device subscriber base to more than 3.0&nbsp;million, up 11% from 2023. </P>

telecommunications market is expected to remain very competitive in 2025. Although the residential high-speed internet market is maturing, with a penetration rate of approximately 93% across Canada at the end of 2024, subscriber growth is expected
to continue over the coming years. Technology substitution, including the growth of wireless and VoIP services, is expected to continue to replace higher-margin legacy voice revenues, while digital streaming services and other online content
providers are expected to impact current linear TV services. Bell is an important provider of these substitution services and the decline in this legacy business is continuing as expected.

considers the superiority of fibre over cable, our 5G wireless services, enterprise business solutions services and digital subscriptions, all of which present opportunities for growth. Additionally, our strategic distribution partnership with Best
Buy Canada will result in a further decrease in revenue in&nbsp;2025 due to the timing of The Source store closures and transition to Best Buy Express in 2024. As this revenue is largely consumer electronics related, the impact on adjusted EBITDA
will not be material given low margins for such products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We are targeting stable revenue driven by continued subscriber base expansion and pricing

an ongoing 5G upgrade cycle, continued penetration growth and our continued focus on multi-product cross sales. We are focused on growing our wireless mobile phone subscriber base in a disciplined and cost-conscious manner as we manage increased
competitive intensity and promotional activity across all regions and market segments. We expect slightly declining mobile phone blended ARPU driven by the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">flow-through</FONT> of prior year competitive pricing
pressures and reduced data overage revenue resulting from the continued adoption of unlimited plans, partly offset by increased 5G subscriptions and pricing changes. We will also seek to achieve higher revenues from IoT services and applications.

continue to focus on winning the home by leveraging our symmetrical Internet speed advantage over cable, delivering the best customer experience with our products, and driving greater cross-sell penetration of higher value mobility and Internet

by large enterprise customers combined with wireless subscriber growth. However, as large enterprise customers continue to look for opportunities to leverage <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-cost</FONT> technologies to grow and transform the
workforce of the future and face increased uncertainty about future economic conditions, spending on telecommunications services and products is expected to be variable. In addition, ongoing customer migrations from traditional technologies to <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">IP-based</FONT> systems and demand for cheaper bandwidth alternatives will continue to impact business markets&#146; results in 2025. We intend to seek to offset the revenue decline from traditional legacy
telecommunications services by continuing to develop market leading services and value enhancements to improve the client experience through services such as cloud, security and workforce automation solutions. Further, we intend to use marketing
initiatives and other customer-specific strategies with the objective of slowing the pace of NAS erosion, while also investing in direct fibre expansion, 5G and new solutions in key portfolios such as Internet, private networks, voice and unified
communications, cloud solutions, workflow automation, security solutions, cloud-based contact centre, IoT and MEC. We will also continue to focus on delivering network-centric managed and professional services solutions to large and <FONT

these facilities. Subsequently, in a final decision (Final Decision), the CRTC concluded its wholesale high-speed access review and mandated the establishment of an aggregated wholesale high-speed access service available on FTTP facilities to be
provided by large ILECs in all provinces as of February&nbsp;13, 2025. The CRTC also prohibited incumbents from accessing wholesale high-speed access service over any technology, on a go forward basis, within their traditional incumbent wireline
territories. This new service materially improves the business position of our competitors. Bell Canada had filed an appeal of the Interim Decision to the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Governor-in-Council</FONT></FONT> and the latter released an order referring the Interim Decision back to the CRTC to reconsider, no later than 90&nbsp;days after
November&nbsp;6,&nbsp;2024, whether the three largest Internet service providers in Canada and their affiliates should be prohibited from using aggregated FTTP services in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec further to tariffs approved by the CRTC. In a
February&nbsp;3,&nbsp;2025 decision, the CRTC determined that it would not vary the Interim Decision and would instead rule on the issue of whether Bell Canada, Rogers Communications Canada&nbsp;Inc., Telus Communications&nbsp;Inc. and their
affiliates should be prohibited from using tariffed wholesale high-speed access services by summer 2025. Several parties have filed Part&nbsp;1 applications asking the CRTC to review and vary several aspects of the Final Decision. In a motion dated
September&nbsp;12, 2024, Saskatchewan Telecommunications (SaskTel) has also sought leave to appeal the Final Decision to the Federal Court of Appeal. The Competitive Network Operators of Canada, Cogeco Communications&nbsp;Inc., Eastlink and SaskTel
have also filed a joint appeal of the Final Decision to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Governor-in-Council.</FONT></FONT> The latter must decide on this appeal on or before August, 13, 2025. At this point, Bell
Canada is still assessing the impact of the Final Decision. If final rates are established that are different from the interim rates, there is a risk they will be applied retroactively. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Consumers continue to have access to an array of online entertainment and information alternatives, with new options being added yearly. The increase in
alternative entertainment options has led to a fragmentation in consumption habits. Traditional linear TV still delivers higher viewership compared to other forms of video consumption, although the gap is closing with more people consuming content
from an assortment of services and in a variety of formats. In particular, today&#146;s viewers are consuming more content online, watching less scheduled programming live, time-shifting original broadcasts through PVRs, viewing more video on mobile
devices, and catching up on an expanded library of past programming <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-demand.</FONT> While households use streaming services, such as Crave, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, and YouTube to complement linear
TV consumption, an increasing number are using these services as alternatives to a traditional linear package. With the increase of options in the alternative market, content is more widespread than ever before across providers, resulting in a more
competitive landscape. This has resulted in price increases and consumers&#146; need to subscribe to more than one service. The industry has responded with bundling options, lower price ad tiers, and an increase in FAST channels, such as The Roku
Channel, Tubi and Pluto TV. In 2024, Bell Media launched 11 English and French-language FAST channels, featuring a selection of entertainment, factual, news, and sports programming, available on LG Channels, Samsung TV Plus, Plex and The Roku
Channel. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Premium video content remains vitally important to media companies in attracting and retaining viewers and advertisers. This content,
including live sports and special events, should continue to draw audiences and advertisers moving forward. Heightened competition for these rights from global competitors, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, DAZN and Apple TV+, has already
resulted in higher program rights costs and may also make it more difficult to secure content. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Consumer behaviour is continually changing and media
companies are adjusting by evolving and personalizing their content and product offerings. Media companies have launched their own solutions with the objective of better competing with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traditional</FONT>
offerings through DTC products such as Bell Media&#146;s bilingual Crave service, TSN and RDS, all of which offer streaming on a variety of platforms. While the SVOD model continues to dominate the streaming landscape, AVOD and FAST services are
seeing tremendous growth due to the appeal to price-conscious consumers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In addition, there has been a shift in how advertisers want to buy
advertising across all media platforms. The growth of digital consumption has also given advertisers the opportunity to buy more targeted inventory and to buy inventory via self-serve and programmatically. As a result, Bell Media and other media
companies have initiated programs to sell their advertising inventory on a more targeted basis through updated buying platforms with enhanced access to data and are now selling their inventory on programmatic buying platforms.

Saskatchewan) and in the three territories. It is unclear at this time what impact, if any, the measures set out in this decision could have on our business and financial results, and our ability to make investments at the same levels as we have in
the past. In Q3&nbsp;2023, we began providing MVNO access service on Bell Mobility&#146;s network in certain regions and expect that use of the service on our network by our wholesale customers will continue to expand in the future. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On July&nbsp;13, 2023, the CRTC accepted a request from Qu&eacute;becor Media&nbsp;Inc. to initiate FOA in respect of rates for MVNO access service from
Bell Mobility. On October&nbsp;10,&nbsp;2023, the CRTC issued a decision selecting the rate proposed by Bell Mobility. On December&nbsp;15, 2023, Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. filed a Part 1&nbsp;application seeking the CRTC&#146;s intervention in
determining the start date for the MVNO access service from Bell Mobility, alleging Bell Mobility had improperly denied Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. access subsequent to the release of the CRTC&#146;s FOA decision. On August&nbsp;29, 2024, the CRTC
denied Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc.&#146;s application and set September&nbsp;12,&nbsp;2024 as the start date for Bell Mobility&#146;s MVNO access service, directing the parties to enter into an MVNO access agreement by such date. Consistent with the
CRTC&#146;s decision, the parties entered into an MVNO access agreement as of September&nbsp;12,&nbsp;2024 under which Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. is now receiving MVNO access from Bell Mobility. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On November&nbsp;27, 2024, Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. filed another Part 1&nbsp;application asking the CRTC to review and vary its previous decision.
Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. requested that the CRTC order Bell Mobility to reimburse them for the difference between the roaming fees charged to Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. from October&nbsp;11,&nbsp;2023 to September&nbsp;12, 2024, and the amount
Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. would have been charged had the MVNO access rate been applied from October&nbsp;11, 2023. On January&nbsp;20, 2025, Bell Mobility submitted its response, asking the CRTC to deny Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc.&#146;s
application because it did not meet the CRTC&#146;s established test for a review of the decision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The CRTC previously accepted a joint request for
FOA from Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. On July&nbsp;24, 2023, the CRTC issued a decision selecting the rate proposed by Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. In the decision, the CRTC made a number of findings or
determinations that indicate a continued trend toward downplaying the importance of incentives for investment in telecommunications networks in Canada. While the CRTC&#146;s determination in Bell Mobility&#146;s FOA with Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc.
appears to have moderated this approach by highlighting the importance of providing a return on investment to facilities-based carriers, adverse regulatory decisions such as the Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc. FOA
decision are expected to impact the specific nature, magnitude, location and timing of our future wireless and wireline investment decisions. On August&nbsp;23, 2023, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. sought leave to appeal the CRTC&#146;s FOA
decision with the Federal Court of Appeal. On August&nbsp;16, 2024, the Federal Court of Appeal granted Rogers Communications Canada Inc.&#146;s application.

with respect to the choice available to Canadians when roaming and roaming rates. The CRTC indicated that it expected Bell Mobility, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Telus Communications Inc. to report back to the CRTC by
November&nbsp;4,&nbsp;2024 on the steps they are taking to respond to these concerns and that if it determines that sufficient action is not taken, it will launch a formal proceeding. Each of the three carriers filed their responses on
November&nbsp;4,&nbsp;2024 setting out their plans to the CRTC. While the timing and outcome of any further CRTC process regarding our international roaming rates is currently unknown and it is unclear what impact, if any, such a process could have,
any action by the CRTC to regulate the rates or attributes of the international roaming offerings of wireless carriers is likely to have a negative impact on our business and financial results. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">As part of its ongoing review of wholesale Internet rates, on October&nbsp;6, 2016, the CRTC significantly reduced, on an interim basis, some of the
wholesale rates that Bell Canada and other major providers charge for access by third-party Internet resellers to FTTN or cable networks, as applicable. On August&nbsp;15, 2019, the CRTC further reduced the wholesale rates that Internet resellers
pay to access network infrastructure built by facilities-based providers like Bell Canada, with retroactive effect to March&nbsp;2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The
August&nbsp;2019 decision was stayed, first by the Federal Court of Appeal and then by the CRTC, with the result that it never came into effect. In response to review and vary applications filed by each of Bell Canada, five major cable carriers
(Cogeco Communications&nbsp;Inc., Eastlink, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Shaw and Vid&eacute;otron&nbsp;Ltd.) and Telus Communications Inc., the CRTC issued Decision <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2021-181&nbsp;on</FONT> May&nbsp;27, 2021,
which mostly reinstated the rates prevailing prior to August&nbsp;2019 with some reductions to the Bell Canada rates with retroactive effect to March&nbsp;2016. As a result, in the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a reduction in revenue of
$44&nbsp;million in our consolidated income statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">While there remains a requirement to refund monies to third-party Internet resellers, the
establishment of final wholesale rates that are similar to those prevailing since&nbsp;2019 reduces the impact of the CRTC&#146;s long-running review of wholesale Internet rates. In a Federal Court of Appeal order dated September&nbsp;15, 2021, the
largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions&nbsp;Inc., obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#146;s decision of May&nbsp;27,&nbsp;2021 before the Federal Court of Appeal. On July&nbsp;22, 2024, the Federal Court of Appeal issued a decision rejecting TekSavvy

Telecom Decision CRTC <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2023-358&nbsp;(the</FONT> Interim Decision), the CRTC determined that aggregated access to Bell Canada&#146;s FTTP facilities in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec should be mandated on a temporary and
expedited basis, and the CRTC set interim access rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The imposition of an interim aggregated access to FTTP facilities obligation has undermined
Bell Canada&#146;s incentives to invest in next-generation wireline networks. In February 2024, Bell Canada announced its intention to reduce capital expenditures by over $1&nbsp;billion over&nbsp;2024 and&nbsp;2025 combined, including a minimum of
$500&nbsp;million in 2024, as a result of federal government policies and the Interim Decision. Bell Canada is currently ahead of plan having achieved nearly 70% of that objective by the end of 2024. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On February&nbsp;2, 2024, Bell Canada filed an appeal of the Interim Decision to the

order referring the Interim Decision back to the CRTC to reconsider, no later than 90&nbsp;days after November&nbsp;6, 2024, whether Bell Canada, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Telus Communications Inc. and their affiliates should be
prohibited from using aggregated FTTP services in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec further to tariffs approved by the CRTC. In an application for judicial review to the Federal Court dated December&nbsp;4, 2024, Telus Communications Inc. has sought an
order quashing the order of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Governor-in-Council.</FONT></FONT> In a February&nbsp;3,&nbsp;2025 decision, the CRTC determined that it would not vary the Interim Decision and would
instead rule on the issue of whether Bell&nbsp;Canada, Rogers Communications Canada&nbsp;Inc. and Telus Communications&nbsp;Inc. and their affiliates should be prohibited from using tariffed wholesale high-speed access services by summer 2025. As a
result of the CRTC&#146;s February&nbsp;3, 2025 decision, our near-term fibre build target of 8.3&nbsp;million locations by the end of 2025 will not be reached. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">On August&nbsp;13, 2024, in Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2024-180&nbsp;(the</FONT> Final Decision), the CRTC mandated
that the interim obligation to provide wholesale aggregated access to Bell Canada&#146;s FTTP facilities in Ontario and Qu&eacute;bec, and to Telus Communications Inc.&#146;s FTTP facilities in Qu&eacute;bec, would be made final. Further, the Final
Decision expanded the geographic scope of the Interim Decision such that Bell Canada is required to provide wholesale aggregated access to its FTTP facilities in Atlantic Canada and Manitoba by February&nbsp;13, 2025. Telus Communications Inc. and
SaskTel are also required to provide aggregated access to their respective FTTP facilities in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan by the same date. This obligation does not apply to any new FTTP networks that Bell Canada, Telus
Communications Inc., or SaskTel make available at retail during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">five-year</FONT> period between August&nbsp;13,&nbsp;2024 and August&nbsp;12, 2029. However, this <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">five-year</FONT>
period is not a continuously rolling period. Instead, all new FTTP locations, regardless of when they are made available at retail, will be subject to a wholesale aggregated access obligation as of August&nbsp;12,&nbsp;2029. Under the Final
Decision, cable companies are exempt from wholesale FTTP obligations and, as such, are not required to provide wholesale access to their FTTP networks. Also, under the Final Decision, Bell Canada, SaskTel, Telus Communications Inc., Cogeco
Communications Inc., Eastlink, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc., and their respective affiliates are not eligible to buy mandated aggregated wholesale high-speed access, whether over copper, coaxial cable, or FTTP,
within their traditional incumbent wireline footprints. As a result, Distributel and other Bell Canada brands were required to, and did, cease reselling wholesale high-speed access over coaxial cable to&nbsp;new customers after September&nbsp;12,
2024. </P></DIV><DIV STYLE="position:relative;float:left; margin-left:3%; width:49%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:8pt;overflow:visible;padding-top:3pt">

under which online services would be required to make financial contributions, including initial base contributions, to support the creation and discoverability of Canadian and Indigenous content. It will also determine who the recipients of the
initial base contributions will be. The CRTC held a three-week hearing beginning on November&nbsp;20,&nbsp;2023 to focus on these issues. On June&nbsp;4, 2024, the CRTC released its decision, requiring foreign streamers to contribute 5% of

However, Canadian streamers affiliated with a licensed broadcaster (for example, Bell Media&#146;s linear Crave service available through cable companies) have been exempted from this requirement until the CRTC reviews the existing regulatory
obligations of traditional media properties. Foreign streamers, specifically Amazon. com.ca ULC, Apple Canada&nbsp;Inc., the Motion Picture Association-Canada (which represents Netflix Studios,&nbsp;LLC, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures
Entertainment&nbsp;Inc., Universal City Studios&nbsp;LLC, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and Warner Bros. Entertainment&nbsp;Inc.) and Spotify AB, have each sought leave to appeal and/or judicial review of the CRTC&#146;s decision. Each
company has challenged various different aspects of the decision, including, in some cases, the reasonableness of the CRTC exempting Canadian streamers affiliated with licensed broadcasters but not exempting foreign streamers. The CRTC continues to
launch additional consultations, including on how to support the creation of Canadian and Indigenous content (both audio-visual and audio), as well as diversity, inclusion and discoverability issues (see <I>Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC <FONT

Online News Act), that share news content produced by other news outlets to negotiate commercial arrangements with those news outlets, compensating them for the news content shared on digital platforms. The legislation entitles Bell Media&#146;s
general news services, such as CTV and Noovo, to compensation. Further details regarding the compensation framework have been set out in regulations that were released on December&nbsp;15,&nbsp;2023 (the Regulations). These Regulations clarify that
the Online News Act applies to search engines and social media sites that provide access to news content in Canada, provided these platforms earn at least $1&nbsp;billion in annual global revenue and reach at least 20&nbsp;million Canadians on a
monthly basis. However, the Regulations also allow Google to apply to be exempt from parts of the

June&nbsp;7, 2024, Google submitted an application for exemption to the CRTC and on October&nbsp;28, 2024, the CRTC approved a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">five-year</FONT> exemption for Google, which required Google to provide payment to the
Collective by December&nbsp;27, 2024. Of the $100&nbsp;million to be paid by Google, under the Regulations, news outlets that are also private broadcasters, such as CTV and Noovo, cannot receive more than 30% of the overall compensation available
(with other news outlets, such as those associated with newspapers and public broadcasters, receiving the rest). While the amount that we will receive has not yet&nbsp;been finalized, we are expecting to receive compensation for the&nbsp;2024
calendar year in the first half of 2025. Finally, on December&nbsp;12, 2024, the CRTC established the mandatory bargaining process which would apply between news outlets and digital news intermediaries that are captured by the Online News Act. This
framework was necessary for the CRTC to put into place in order to administer the Online News Act. However, while Google retains its exemption, the mandatory bargaining process is not expected to be&nbsp;utilized.

Demand for highly skilled team members remains a concern, as retiring workers, varying levels of immigration, and an increase in remote-work arrangements allowing more global competition have created an even more competitive marketplace. This
emphasizes the importance of developing and maintaining a comprehensive and inclusive human resources strategy and employee value proposition to adequately compete for talent and to identify and secure high-performing candidates for a broad range of
job functions, roles and responsibilities. In addition, an appropriately skilled pool of talent (as a result of hiring, insourcing and reskilling) is essential to support evolving business priorities in the context of an ongoing business
transformation impacting job nature and skill sets. Our objective to transform our business requires a cultural change and a capacity to evolve, and impacts our recruitment strategy and deployment of resources. We seek to have our employees adapt to
new ways of working as traditional telecommunications companies are moving towards flatter work structures, leveraging generative AI, with fewer silos and more cross-functional corporate structures. Failure to attract and appropriately train,
motivate, remunerate or deploy employees on initiatives that further our strategic imperatives and operational transformation, or to efficiently replace departing employees, could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain talent

continually enhance programs and provide resources to support team members on a wide range of topics, including mental health services and support. However, failure to establish robust programs and enhance them to further these aspirations could
adversely affect our ability to attract and retain team members. Failure to sufficiently address evolving employee expectations related to our culture and value proposition could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain team members.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our ability to meet our cash requirements, fund capital expenditures and provide for planned growth depends on having access to adequate sources of

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Risk factors such as capital market disruptions, political, economic and financial market instability in Canada or abroad, government policies, central
bank monetary policies, increasing interest rates, changes to bank capitalization or other regulations, reduced bank lending in general or fewer banks as a result of reduced activity or consolidation, could reduce capital available or increase the
cost of such capital. In addition, an increased level of debt borrowings could result in lower credit ratings, increased borrowing costs and a reduction in the amount of funding available to us, including through equity offerings. Business
acquisitions and our acquisition of wireless spectrum licences could also adversely affect our outlook and credit ratings and have similar adverse consequences. There is no assurance that we will maintain our credit ratings and a ratings downgrade
could result in adverse consequences for our funding cost and capacity, and our ability to access the capital markets, money market and/or the bank credit market. In addition, participants in the public capital and bank credit markets have internal
policies limiting their ability to invest in, or extend credit to, any single entity or entity group or a particular industry. Finally, with increasing emphasis by the capital markets on ESG performance and reporting, there is a potential for the
cost and availability of funding to be increasingly tied to the quality of our ESG practices and related disclosed metrics. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our bank credit

Should our perceived or actual outlook, plans, priorities or actions, or those of our employees or suppliers, fail to align with stakeholders&#146; expectations, our reputation could be impacted, which could have an adverse effect on our brand, our

will succeed in meaningfully integrating ESG considerations into our business strategy, operations and governance to generate positive outcomes for stakeholders. Good ESG practices are an important measure of corporate performance and value
creation. As such, we are increasingly under scrutiny to address ESG matters of importance to our stakeholders. A wide range of ESG topics have progressively become important elements of corporate culture and seeking to embrace them reinforces our
value proposition to drive employee attraction and retention. Customers now factor broader considerations into purchase decisions and look for alignment of personal values with corporate behaviour. Investors increasingly link investment decisions to
the quality of ESG practices and related disclosed metrics. Moreover, we have directly linked some pricing elements in certain financing agreements to our performance on key ESG targets. Legal and regulatory pressures have further intensified in the
ESG sphere, including, without limitation, in the areas of privacy, accessibility, data governance and climate change. Accordingly, failure to integrate ESG considerations into our governance activities and effectively manage ESG risks and
opportunities could harm our brand and reputation, and lead to negative business, financial, legal and regulatory consequences for the company. Perceived misalignment of our actions with stakeholder expectations could also harm our brand and
reputation and lead to further financial and other consequences. Finally, enhanced <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ESG-related</FONT> disclosures could increase the company&#146;s exposure to claims for misrepresentation in the primary or secondary

acquisitions and business dispositions, including the previously announced pending acquisition of Ziply Fiber and pending dispositions of Northwestel and our ownership stake in MLSE, and organic growth, could negatively affect our ability to achieve
our targets, as would the adoption of new technologies that are carbon enablers or do not generate the anticipated energy savings.

geopolitical events, such as conflicts, could put pressure on our supply chain and require increased focus on supply chain diversification to support continuity.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We may have to select different third-party suppliers for equipment or other products and services, or
different outsourcers, in order to meet evolving internal company policies and guidelines as well as legal and regulatory requirements. Should we decide, or be required by a governmental authority or otherwise, to terminate our relationship with an
existing supplier or outsourcer, this would decrease the number of available suppliers or outsourcers and could result in significant increased costs, as well as transitional, support, service, quality or continuity issues; delay our ability to

third-party suppliers and the outsourcing of services generally involve transfer of risks, and we must take appropriate steps to ensure that our suppliers&#146; and outsourcers&#146; approach to risk management is aligned with our own standards in
order to maintain continuity of supply and brand strength. Increased focus on supplier risks in areas of security, data governance, responsible procurement and broader ESG factors requires increased attention given that supplier actions or omissions
could have significant impacts on our business, financial results, brand and reputation. Furthermore, cloud-based supplier models have continued to evolve and grow and, while they offer many potential benefits, cloud-based services can also change
the level or types of risks. Accordingly, our procurement and vendor management practices must also continue to evolve to fully take into account the potential risks of cloud-based services. </P>

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

In the third quarter of 2024, a further decline in advertising demand and spending in the linear advertising market led management to identify impairment indicators for Bell Media&#8217;s TV services and radio markets.

Changes in these significant assumptions could have a significant impact on either the recoverable amount of Bell Media, the amount of impairment charge to goodwill and/or intangible assets as required, or both.

Cash flows are projected based on past experience, actual operating results and business plans, including any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. When the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is less than its carrying value, the recoverable amount is determined for its identifiable assets and liabilities.

The most significant criteria considered for the selection of investments include the size of the issue and credit quality, along with the identification of outliers, which are excluded. </span></div></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div style="height:42.8pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div><span style="color:#12528a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">19 BCE Inc. 2024 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT</span></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"/><div style="min-height:42.8pt;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><span><br/></span></div></div><ix:continuation id="f-353-10"><ix:continuation id="f-397-2" continuedAt="f-397-3"><div><span id="i30c4592159de4fe6a1dc94927d68d654"></span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Income taxes<span id="i61f1b35f0af2492ea71583139cbef717"></span></span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The calculation of income taxes requires judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations.

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.</span></div><div><span id="i63b1397aec844f408253ece394f52684"></span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Revenue from contracts with customers</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment.

necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors

In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options).

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the Federal Communications Commission, and approvals by state Public Utilities Commissions and, as such, there can be no assurance that the transaction will ultimately be consummated. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025.

The transaction is expected to close in 2025 subject to certain closing conditions, including securing financing by Sixty North Unity, the completion of confirmatory due diligence, and receipt of the Competition Bureau's approval and, as such, there can be no assurance that the transaction will ultimately be consummated.

The impairment was 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 September 1, 2024 to December 31, 2029, using discount rates of 9% to 11% and perpetuity growth rates of (2%) to 0%, as well as market multiple data from public companies and market transactions.

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals including the Federal Communications Commission and approvals by state Public Utilities Commissions and, as such, there can be no assurance that the transaction will ultimately be consummated. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our commitments for leases not yet commenced include real estate, OOH advertising spaces and fibre use.

On August 15, 2019, the CRTC further reduced the wholesale rates that Internet resellers pay to access network infrastructure built by facilities-based providers like Bell Canada, with retroactive effect back to March 2016. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The August 2019 decision was stayed, first by the Federal Court of Appeal and then by the CRTC, with the result that it never came into effect. In response to review and vary applications filed by each of Bell Canada, five major cable carriers (Cogeco Communications Inc., Bragg Communications Inc. (Eastlink), Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Shaw Communications Inc. and Videotron Lt&#233;e) and Telus Communications Inc., the CRTC issued Decision 2021-181 on May 27, 2021, which mostly reinstated the rates prevailing prior to August 2019 with some reductions to the Bell Canada rates with retroactive effect to March 2016. As a result, in Q2 2021, we recorded a reduction in revenue of $44&#160;million in our income statements. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">While there remains a requirement to refund monies to third-party Internet resellers, the establishment of final wholesale rates that are similar to those prevailing since 2019 reduces the impact of the CRTC&#8217;s long-running review of wholesale Internet rates. The largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TekSavvy), obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#8217;s decision of May 27, 2021 before the Federal Court of Appeal. On July 22, 2024, the Federal Court of Appeal issued a decision rejecting TekSavvy&#8217;s appeal of Decision 2021-181 pursuant to which the CRTC had, in May 2021, mostly reinstated wholesale Internet rates prevailing prior to August 2019. On September 30, 2024, TekSavvy sought leave to appeal that decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. The decision was also challenged in three petitions brought by TekSavvy, the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. and National Capital Freenet before Cabinet, but on May 26, 2022, Cabinet announced it would not alter the decision.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief.

We recognize revenue when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer. When our right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the products and services transferred to date, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">For bundled arrangements, we account for individual products and services when they are separately identifiable and the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other readily available resources. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each product or service included in the contract with the customer based on its stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable prices at which we sell products separately without a service contract and prices for non-bundled service offers with the same range of services, adjusted for market conditions and other factors, as appropriate. When similar products and services are not sold separately, we use the expected cost plus margin approach to determine stand-alone selling prices. Products and services purchased by a customer in excess of those included in the bundled arrangement are accounted for separately. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We may enter into arrangements with subcontractors and others who provide services to our customers.

Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when our right to consideration becomes conditional only as to the passage of time. A contract liability is recognized in the statements of financial position when we receive consideration in advance of the transfer of products or services to the customer. Contract assets and liabilities relating to the same contract are presented on a net basis. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally comprised of sales commissions, and prepaid contract fulfillment costs are included in </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Contract costs</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> in the statements of financial position, except where the amortization period is one year or less, in which case costs of obtaining a contract are immediately expensed.

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.</span></div><div><span id="i63b1397aec844f408253ece394f52684"></span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Revenue from contracts with customers</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment.

For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for those purposes the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16A-16B of IAS 32, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments. As an exception, an instrument that meets the definition of a financial liability is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the features and meets the conditions in paragraphs 16A-16B or paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32.

For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for those purposes the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16A-16B of IAS 32, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments. As an exception, an instrument that meets the definition of a financial liability is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the features and meets the conditions in paragraphs 16A-16B or paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32.

We recognize revenue when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer. When our right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the products and services transferred to date, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%"&gt;For bundled arrangements, we account for individual products and services when they are separately identifiable and the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other readily available resources. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each product or service included in the contract with the customer based on its stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable prices at which we sell products separately without a service contract and prices for non-bundled service offers with the same range of services, adjusted for market conditions and other factors, as appropriate. When similar products and services are not sold separately, we use the expected cost plus margin approach to determine stand-alone selling prices. Products and services purchased by a customer in excess of those included in the bundled arrangement are accounted for separately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We may enter into arrangements with subcontractors and others who provide services to our customers. When we act as the principal in these arrangements, we recognize revenues based on the amounts billed to our customers.

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. We recognize lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for all lease agreements, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, which are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Consideration in a contract is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative stand-alone value basis. We generally account for lease components and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We apply a single incremental borrowing rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:17.86pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00b0f0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt"&gt;fixed (and in-substance fixed) lease payments, less any lease incentives &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:17.86pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00b0f0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt"&gt;variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:17.86pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00b0f0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt"&gt;payments expected under residual value guarantees and payments relating to purchase options and renewal option periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised (or periods subject to termination options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured, with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets, when there is a change in variable lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or when we change our assessment of whether purchase, renewal or termination options will be exercised. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Right-of-use assets are measured at cost and are comprised of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liabilities, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis and reduced by impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of related lease liabilities. If we obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the exercise of a purchase option, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The related payments are expensed in operating costs in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="ic3f1f2bcd79440768943705347a59ce6"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;IAS 17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Prior to 2019, under IAS 17, leases of property, plant and equipment were recognized as finance leases when we obtained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying assets.

Property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances, assessed at each reporting period, indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets other than goodwill are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Impairment losses are recognized and measured as the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their recoverable amount. An asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Previously recognized impairment losses, other than those attributable to goodwill, are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date and, if the asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount has increased, all or a portion of the impairment is reversed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i1cb332a8fb4542dd8fa450e7689e3260"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Goodwill impairment testing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We perform an annual test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter for each of our cash-generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, and whenever there is an indication that goodwill might be impaired. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of a CGU or group of CGUs to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Both fair value less costs of disposal and value in use are based on estimates of discounted future cash flows or other valuation methods. Cash flows are projected based on past experience, actual operating results and business plans, including any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. When the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is less than its carrying value, the recoverable amount is determined for its identifiable assets and liabilities. The excess of the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs over the total of the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the recoverable amount of goodwill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;An impairment charge is recognized in the income statements for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its recoverable amount.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is derived from publicly available risk-free interest rates, adjusted for applicable credit spreads and lease terms. We apply a single incremental borrowing rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.&#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i28f36b483b0949cd91ab657361574af9"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Fair value of financial instruments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Certain financial instruments, such as investments in equity securities, derivative financial instruments and certain elements of borrowings, are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in the income statements and the statements of comprehensive income. Fair values are estimated by reference to published price quotations or by using other valuation techniques that may include inputs that are not based on observable market data, such as discounted cash flows and earnings multiples. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i7eb157a8eb774b24b7284ea8d192fc03"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contingencies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief.

The rate is set by reference to market yields of long-term, high-quality corporate fixed income investments at the beginning of each fiscal year. Significant judgment is required when setting the criteria for fixed income investments to be included in the population from which the yield curve is derived. The most significant criteria considered for the selection of investments include the size of the issue and credit quality, along with the identification of outliers, which are excluded. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i30c4592159de4fe6a1dc94927d68d654"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Income taxes&lt;span id="i61f1b35f0af2492ea71583139cbef717"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The calculation of income taxes requires judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

In particular, judgment is required when assessing the timing of the reversal of temporary differences to which future income tax rates are applied. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i9b3f8fcdf1054945a277eef49f53322c"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The application of IFRS 16 requires us to make judgments that affect the measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities. A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i63b1397aec844f408253ece394f52684"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Revenue from contracts with customers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment. Additionally, the determination of costs to obtain a contract, including the identification of incremental costs, also requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="iaf5d0fb0f0d94403801ff1b36f5754b8"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CGUs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of CGUs or groups of CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i4ad76457168d4071a5a726dc15f48c04"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contingencies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of whether a loss is probable from claims and legal proceedings and whether an outflow of resources is likely requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i544247f9088f4af6aa95d9009a44d606"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#12528a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:13.5pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;T) Future changes to accounting standards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The following accounting standard and amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB have not yet been adopted by BCE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;

We recognize revenue when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer. When our right to consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the products and services transferred to date, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%"&gt;For bundled arrangements, we account for individual products and services when they are separately identifiable and the customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other readily available resources. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each product or service included in the contract with the customer based on its stand-alone selling price. We generally determine stand-alone selling prices based on the observable prices at which we sell products separately without a service contract and prices for non-bundled service offers with the same range of services, adjusted for market conditions and other factors, as appropriate. When similar products and services are not sold separately, we use the expected cost plus margin approach to determine stand-alone selling prices. Products and services purchased by a customer in excess of those included in the bundled arrangement are accounted for separately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We may enter into arrangements with subcontractors and others who provide services to our customers. When we act as the principal in these arrangements, we recognize revenues based on the amounts billed to our customers. Otherwise, we recognize the net amount that we retain as revenues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A contract asset is recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position (statements of financial position) when our right to consideration from the transfer of products or services to a customer is conditional on our obligation to transfer other products or services. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when our right to consideration becomes conditional only as to the passage of time. A contract liability is recognized in the statements of financial position when we receive consideration in advance of the transfer of products or services to the customer. Contract assets and liabilities relating to the same contract are presented on a net basis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, principally comprised of sales commissions, and prepaid contract fulfillment costs are included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contract costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; in the statements of financial position, except where the amortization period is one year or less, in which case costs of obtaining a contract are immediately expensed.

We recognize service revenues over time, as the services are provided. Revenues on certain long-term contracts are recognized using output methods based on products delivered, performance completed to date, time elapsed or milestones met. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For wireless products and services that are sold separately, customers usually pay in full at the time of sale for products and on a monthly basis for services. For wireless products and services sold in bundled arrangements, including device financing plans, customers pay monthly over a contract term of up to 24 months for residential customers and up to 36 months for business customers. If they include a significant financing component, device financing plan receivables are discounted at market rates and interest revenue is accreted over the contractual repayment period. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;For wireline customers, products are usually paid in full at the time of sale.

A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. We recognize lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for all lease agreements, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets, which are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Consideration in a contract is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative stand-alone value basis. We generally account for lease components and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We apply a single incremental borrowing rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:17.86pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00b0f0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt"&gt;fixed (and in-substance fixed) lease payments, less any lease incentives &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:17.86pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00b0f0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt"&gt;variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left:17.86pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00b0f0;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt"&gt;payments expected under residual value guarantees and payments relating to purchase options and renewal option periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised (or periods subject to termination options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are remeasured, with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets, when there is a change in variable lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or when we change our assessment of whether purchase, renewal or termination options will be exercised. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Right-of-use assets are measured at cost and are comprised of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liabilities, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis and reduced by impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets may also be adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of related lease liabilities. If we obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the exercise of a purchase option, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, we depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Property, plant and equipment and finite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment if events or changes in circumstances, assessed at each reporting period, indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets other than goodwill are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Impairment losses are recognized and measured as the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their recoverable amount. An asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Previously recognized impairment losses, other than those attributable to goodwill, are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date and, if the asset&#x2019;s recoverable amount has increased, all or a portion of the impairment is reversed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i1cb332a8fb4542dd8fa450e7689e3260"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Goodwill impairment testing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We perform an annual test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter for each of our cash-generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, and whenever there is an indication that goodwill might be impaired. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;We identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of a CGU or group of CGUs to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Both fair value less costs of disposal and value in use are based on estimates of discounted future cash flows or other valuation methods. Cash flows are projected based on past experience, actual operating results and business plans, including any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. When the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is less than its carrying value, the recoverable amount is determined for its identifiable assets and liabilities. The excess of the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs over the total of the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the recoverable amount of goodwill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;An impairment charge is recognized in the income statements for any excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its recoverable amount.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is derived from publicly available risk-free interest rates, adjusted for applicable credit spreads and lease terms. We apply a single incremental borrowing rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.&#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i28f36b483b0949cd91ab657361574af9"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Fair value of financial instruments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Certain financial instruments, such as investments in equity securities, derivative financial instruments and certain elements of borrowings, are carried in the statements of financial position at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in the income statements and the statements of comprehensive income. Fair values are estimated by reference to published price quotations or by using other valuation techniques that may include inputs that are not based on observable market data, such as discounted cash flows and earnings multiples. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i7eb157a8eb774b24b7284ea8d192fc03"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contingencies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief.

The rate is set by reference to market yields of long-term, high-quality corporate fixed income investments at the beginning of each fiscal year. Significant judgment is required when setting the criteria for fixed income investments to be included in the population from which the yield curve is derived. The most significant criteria considered for the selection of investments include the size of the issue and credit quality, along with the identification of outliers, which are excluded. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i30c4592159de4fe6a1dc94927d68d654"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Income taxes&lt;span id="i61f1b35f0af2492ea71583139cbef717"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The calculation of income taxes requires judgment in interpreting tax rules and regulations. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our tax filings are also subject to audits, the outcome of which could change the amount of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Management judgment is used to determine the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized. In particular, judgment is required when assessing the timing of the reversal of temporary differences to which future income tax rates are applied. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i9b3f8fcdf1054945a277eef49f53322c"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The application of IFRS 16 requires us to make judgments that affect the measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities. A lease contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception of the contract, we assess whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and whether we have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. In determining the lease term, we include periods covered by renewal options when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Similarly, we include periods covered by termination options when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. To assess if we are reasonably certain to exercise an option, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options (or not exercise termination options). Economic incentives include the costs related to the termination of the lease, the significance of any leasehold improvements and the importance of the underlying assets to our operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i63b1397aec844f408253ece394f52684"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Revenue from contracts with customers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The identification of performance obligations within a contract and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations under long-term contracts requires judgment. Additionally, the determination of costs to obtain a contract, including the identification of incremental costs, also requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="iaf5d0fb0f0d94403801ff1b36f5754b8"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;CGUs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The determination of CGUs or groups of CGUs for the purpose of impairment testing requires judgment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i4ad76457168d4071a5a726dc15f48c04"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Contingencies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The determination of whether a loss is probable from claims and legal proceedings and whether an outflow of resources is likely requires judgment.</ifrs-full:DisclosureOfAccountingJudgementsAndEstimatesExplanatory>

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the Federal Communications Commission, and approvals by state Public Utilities Commissions and, as such, there can be no assurance that the transaction will ultimately be consummated. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025. This transaction will enhance Bell Canada's growth profile and strategic position by giving it a foothold in the large, underpenetrated United States fibre market, while increasing its scale, diversifying its operating footprint and unlocking significant growth opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="ica279ac8fd594c28924b1bf73a8dcf9e"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"&gt;Proposed disposition of Northwestel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;On June 10, 2024, Bell Canada entered into an agreement with Sixty North Unity, a consortium of Indigenous communities from the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, to dispose of Northwestel Inc. (Northwestel), the largest telecommunications provider in Canada&#x2019;s North, for up to $1&#160;billion, subject to adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in 2025 subject to certain closing conditions, including securing financing by Sixty North Unity, the completion of confirmatory due diligence, and receipt of the Competition Bureau's approval and, as such, there can be no assurance that the transaction will ultimately be consummated. The results of Northwestel are included in our Bell CTS segment.

This contingent consideration is expected to be settled by 2027 and the maximum amount payable is $7&#160;million. Contingent consideration is estimated to be $2&#160;million at December 31, 2024. The acquisition of FX Innovation aims to position Bell as a technology services leader for our enterprise customers.

These charges included $627&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences and brands, $144&#160;million allocated to program and feature film rights, $85&#160;million allocated to property, plant and equipment for network and infrastructure and equipment, $85&#160;million allocated to software, $10&#160;million allocated to finite-life intangible assets mainly for trademarks, and $7&#160;million allocated to prepaid expenses. The impairment was 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 September 1, 2024 to December 31, 2029, using discount rates of 9% to 11% and perpetuity growth rates of (2%) to 0%, as well as market multiple data from public companies and market transactions.

The impairment charges were the result of a reduction in advertising demand in the industry resulting from economic uncertainties and unfavourable impacts to market-based valuation assumptions. These charges included $41&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences and brands, and $45&#160;million to finite-life intangible assets for program and feature film rights.

These assumptions and projections may differ or change quickly given that the Canadian traditional TV and radio advertising market is expected to be impacted by audience declines as the advertising market growth continues to shift towards digital. A negative change to any of these assumptions and projections may result in a further impairment of goodwill for the Bell Media group of CGUs.</ifrs-full:DisclosureOfGoodwillExplanatory>

Employees can choose to have up to 12% of their eligible annual earnings withheld through regular payroll deductions for the purchase of BCE common shares. In some cases, the employer also contributes up to 2% of the employee&#x2019;s eligible annual earnings to the plan. Dividends are credited to the participant&#x2019;s account on each dividend payment date and are equivalent in value to the dividends paid on BCE common shares. Employer contributions to the ESP and related dividends are subject to employees holding their shares for a two-year vesting period. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The trustee of the ESP buys BCE common shares for the participants on the open market, by private purchase or from treasury.

Dividends in the form of additional RSUs/PSUs are credited to the participant&#x2019;s account on each dividend payment date and are equivalent in value to the dividends paid on BCE common shares. Executives and other eligible employees are granted a specific number of RSUs/PSUs for a given performance period based mainly on their level and position.

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals including the Federal Communications Commission and approvals by state Public Utilities Commissions and, as such, there can be no assurance that the transaction will ultimately be consummated. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;Our commitments for leases not yet commenced include real estate, OOH advertising spaces and fibre use.

On August 15, 2019, the CRTC further reduced the wholesale rates that Internet resellers pay to access network infrastructure built by facilities-based providers like Bell Canada, with retroactive effect back to March 2016. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;The August 2019 decision was stayed, first by the Federal Court of Appeal and then by the CRTC, with the result that it never came into effect. In response to review and vary applications filed by each of Bell Canada, five major cable carriers (Cogeco Communications Inc., Bragg Communications Inc. (Eastlink), Rogers Communications Canada Inc., Shaw Communications Inc. and Videotron Lt&#xe9;e) and Telus Communications Inc., the CRTC issued Decision 2021-181 on May 27, 2021, which mostly reinstated the rates prevailing prior to August 2019 with some reductions to the Bell Canada rates with retroactive effect to March 2016. As a result, in Q2 2021, we recorded a reduction in revenue of $44&#160;million in our income statements. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;While there remains a requirement to refund monies to third-party Internet resellers, the establishment of final wholesale rates that are similar to those prevailing since 2019 reduces the impact of the CRTC&#x2019;s long-running review of wholesale Internet rates. The largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TekSavvy), obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#x2019;s decision of May 27, 2021 before the Federal Court of Appeal. On July 22, 2024, the Federal Court of Appeal issued a decision rejecting TekSavvy&#x2019;s appeal of Decision 2021-181 pursuant to which the CRTC had, in May 2021, mostly reinstated wholesale Internet rates prevailing prior to August 2019. On September 30, 2024, TekSavvy sought leave to appeal that decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. The decision was also challenged in three petitions brought by TekSavvy, the Canadian Network Operators Consortium Inc. and National Capital Freenet before Cabinet, but on May 26, 2022, Cabinet announced it would not alter the decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"&gt;In the ordinary course of business, we become involved in various claims and legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief.
