(Northwestel), the expected timing and completion thereof, our objective to create long-term value for our shareholders with strong free cash flow generation and a sustainable dividend, BCE&#8217;s common share dividend and dividend payout policy

of junior subordinated debt securities), BCE&#8217;s business, outlook, objectives, plans and strategic priorities, and other statements that do not refer to historical facts. A statement we make is forward-looking when it uses what we know and
expect today to make a statement about the future. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words </B><B><I>assumption, goal, guidance, objective, outlook, project, strategy, target, commitment</I></B><B> and other similar
expressions or future or conditional verbs such as </B><B><I>aim, anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, seek, should, strive, will and would</I></B><B>. All such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe

uncertainties and are based on several assumptions, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that actual results or events could differ materially from our expectations expressed in or implied by, such forward-looking statements

Forward-looking statements are presented in this Annual Information Form for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding our objectives, strategic priorities and business outlook, as well as our anticipated operating environment.

assumptions we have made in preparing forward-looking statements. If our assumptions turn out to be inaccurate, actual results or events could be materially different from what we expect. </P>

recessions, U.S. tariffs and the unpredictability of future trade arrangements, inflation, the value of the Canadian dollar, reductions in immigration levels, high housing support costs relative to income and financial and capital market volatility,
and the resulting negative impact on customer spending, the resulting demand for our products and services, our customers&#8217; financial condition and the cost and amount of funding available in the capital markets; the negative effect of adverse
conditions associated with geopolitical events, including financial and capital market volatility, broader geopolitical instability and armed conflicts, higher energy prices, inflationary pressures limiting consumer and business spending and
increasing our operating costs, disruptions in our supply chains, and increased information security threats; the intensity of competitive activity in Canada and the U.S. and the failure to effectively respond to evolving competitive dynamics; the

<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On August&nbsp;1, 2025, BCE announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Ziply Fiber, the leading fibre Internet provider in the Pacific
Northwest of the United States for cash consideration of $3.64&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars ($5.01&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars), and the assumption of outstanding net debt of approximately $2.6&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars at closing. To

infrastructure through Ziply Fiber, in underserved markets in the United States. Combined with the completion of the Ziply Fiber acquisition, this long-term strategic partnership will enable Bell to potentially reach up to 8&nbsp;million fibre

Bell&#8217;s fibre infrastructure to deliver significantly increased connectivity speed and capacity while optimizing network performance and energy efficiency. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">400-gigabit</FONT> technology increases fibre capacity
using less network hardware and more automation to deliver four times the data speed and 50% more capacity per wavelength than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">100-gigabit</FONT> core infrastructure or previous technology. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">Key traffic routes span more than 25,000 kilometres across Canada and into the U.S. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; 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 that 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&#8217;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:10pt; 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 priority to deliver
the best fibre and wireless 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&#8217;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, is enabled by our fibre network, offering symmetrical download and upload speeds of up to 8 Gbps with FTTP through our Gigabit Fibe 8.0 service, as well as download speeds of
up to 100 Mbps with FTTN. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; 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. Further, in Q1 2025, the Bell Gigabit Fibe 8.0 service was <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-introduced</FONT> to the market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">Bell Gigabit Fibe service includes the new Giga Hub 2.0 with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Wi-Fi</FONT> 7, enabling faster speeds and lower latency
when used with a compatible device and allowing customers to work, learn, video chat, stream and game online on any or all of their household devices simultaneously. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">In 2025, Bell expanded its Pure Fibre network across Atlantic Canada, Qu&eacute;bec, Ontario and Manitoba and completed a subsea link to Fogo Island and
Change Islands in Newfoundland and Labrador, improving service in remote communities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">In 2025, our planned capital spending was focused on our
strategic priorities, reflecting an appropriate level of investment in our networks and services. The CRTC&#8217;s decisions imposing an aggregated wholesale high speed access to FTTP facilities obligation, and, in particular, making Telus and
Rogers eligible to resell services on Bell Canada&#8217;s FTTP network have undermined Bell Canada&#8217;s incentives to invest in next-generation wireline networks. As a direct result, Bell Canada has reduced its capital expenditures in Canada by
$593&nbsp;million in 2025 alone and by over $1.2&nbsp;billion since the interim decision relating to this matter in November 2023. Consequently, our near-term fibre build target of 8.3&nbsp;million locations by the end of 2025 was not reached. At
December&nbsp;31, 2025, our FTTP footprint covered approximately 8&nbsp;million homes and businesses in Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; 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 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&nbsp;Mbps. The Virgin Plus brand is destandardized in Ontario; however we maintain Internet service for existing Virgin Plus customers in that
province. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; 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, 2025, our IPTV services had the capacity to service approximately 9.9&nbsp;million homes in major cities and municipalities across Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On August&nbsp;1, 2025, BCE announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Ziply Fiber, the
leading fibre Internet provider in the Pacific Northwest of the United States for $5.0&nbsp;billion in Canadian dollars ($3.65&nbsp;billion in U.S. dollars) in cash, and the assumption of outstanding net debt of approximately C$2.6&nbsp;billion at
closing. To accelerate expansion into the U.S. market, BCE and PSP Investments announced on May&nbsp;8, 2025, the formation of Network FiberCo, a long-term strategic partnership to accelerate the development of fibre infrastructure through Ziply
Fiber in underserved markets in the United States. Combined with the completion of the Ziply Fiber acquisition, this long-term strategic partnership will enable Bell to potentially reach up to 8&nbsp;million fibre locations in the U.S., reinforcing
its position as the third-largest fibre Internet provider in North America. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">Ziply Fiber provides wireline communication products and services over a

market. Our ability to access such markets and the cost and amount of funding available partly depend on our assigned credit ratings at the time capital is raised. Investment grade credit ratings usually mean that when we borrow money, we can obtain
lower interest rates than companies that have ratings lower than investment grade. Credit ratings are subject to change based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, our financial strength, competitive position, liquidity and other
factors that are not completely within our control. There is no assurance that we will maintain our current credit ratings and a ratings downgrade could result in adverse consequences for our funding cost and capacity, and our ability to access the

ratings provide investors with an independent measure of the credit quality of an issue of securities. However, they are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any of the securities referred to below, and they may be revised or withdrawn at any
time by the assigning rating agency. Ratings are determined by the rating agencies based on criteria established from time to time by them, and they do not comment on market price or suitability for a particular investor. Each credit rating should
be evaluated independently of any other credit rating. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">In the past two years, we have paid rating agencies to assign ratings to BCE&#8217;s preferred

Moody&#8217;s downgraded BCE&#8217;s issuer rating to Baa3 from Baa2. The outlook associated with the Moody&#8217;s ratings was changed to stable from negative. The downgrades were principally as a result of ongoing debt leverage above Moody&#8217;s

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On September&nbsp;12, 2024, S&amp;P downgraded the issuer-credit ratings on BCE and its subsidiaries to
BBB from BBB+. At the same time, S&amp;P lowered Bell Canada&#8217;s senior (unsubordinated) long-term debt rating to BBB from BBB+ and its subordinated long-term debt rating to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">BBB-</FONT> from BBB. Although Bell
Canada&#8217;s commercial paper rating was affirmed at <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">A-2</FONT> on a Global scale, it was downgraded to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">A-2</FONT> from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">A-1</FONT> (Low) on a
Canadian national scale. S&amp;P also lowered the ratings on BCE&#8217;s preferred shares to P3 (High) from P2 (Low), on a Canadian national scale, and to BB+ from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">BBB-,</FONT> on a Global scale. The outlook
associated with the S&amp;P ratings was changed to stable from negative. The downgrades were principally as a result of ongoing debt leverage above S&amp;P&#8217;s thresholds for the prior ratings. All of these new ratings on Bell Canada&#8217;s
senior (unsubordinated) and subordinated debt remain investment grade according to S&amp;P&#8217;s rating scale with S&amp;P&#8217;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">BBB-</FONT> rating representing its last investment grade rating rank.
Notwithstanding that preferred shares are not debt or credit instruments, the new P3 (High) and BB+ ratings on BCE&#8217;s preferred shares are considered below an investment grade rating on S&amp;P&#8217;s rating scale. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On November&nbsp;5, 2024, DBRS placed all its credit ratings on BCE and Bell Canada Under Review with Negative Implications following BCE&#8217;s
announcement of a definitive agreement to acquire Ziply Fiber. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On February&nbsp;18, 2025 and March&nbsp;27, 2025, Bell Canada issued the Series A
Notes, the Series B Notes and the Series C Notes. The Series A Notes, Series B Notes and Series C Notes are direct and unsecured junior subordinated debt obligations of Bell Canada and, accordingly, are subordinated in right of payment to all
present and future indebtedness of Bell Canada (other than indebtedness which by its terms ranks equally with or subordinate to the Series A Notes, Series B Notes and Series C Notes), including being subordinated to Bell Canada&#8217;s subordinated
long-term debt issued under its 1996 subordinated trust indenture. DBRS, Moody&#8217;s and S&amp;P have assigned ratings of BBB (low), Baa3 and BB+, respectively, to the Series A Notes, Series B Notes and Series C Notes. DBRS&#8217; BBB (low) rating
and Moody&#8217;s Baa3 rating represent the lowest investment grade ratings according to their respective rating scales. However, S&amp;P&#8217;s BB+ rating is considered the highest rating below an investment grade rating on S&amp;P&#8217;s rating
scale. Additionally, the DBRS rating on the Series A Notes, Series B Notes and Series C Notes is also &#8220;Under Review with Negative Implications&#8221;. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On May&nbsp;8, 2025, S&amp;P revised its outlook on BCE and Bell Canada to negative from stable principally as a result of ongoing debt leverage above
S&amp;P&#8217;s thresholds for the current ratings. However, S&amp;P affirmed all of BCE&#8217;s and Bell Canada&#8217;s existing ratings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On
May&nbsp;16, 2025, DBRS downgraded Bell Canada&#8217;s issuer rating to BBB from BBB (high), its senior (unsubordinated) long-term debt rating to BBB from BBB (high), its subordinated long-term debt rating to BB (high) from BBB (low), its junior
subordinated long-term debt rating to BB (high) from BBB (low) and its commercial paper rating to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">R-2</FONT> (middle) from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">R-2</FONT> (high). In addition, DBRS downgraded BCE&#8217;s
issuer rating to BBB (low) from BBB. BCE&#8217;s preferred shares rating was confirmed at <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pfd-3.</FONT> Consequently, DBRS removed the credit ratings from &#8220;Under Review with Negative Implications&#8221;, where
they were placed on November&nbsp;5, 2024. The outlook associated with the DBRS ratings is stable. The downgrades were principally as a result of ongoing debt leverage above DBRS&#8217; thresholds for the prior ratings. All of the new ratings on
Bell Canada&#8217;s senior (unsubordinated) long-term debt and commercial paper remain investment grade according to DBRS&#8217; rating scale with DBRS&#8217; BBB (low) rating representing its last investment grade rating rank for long-term debt and
DBRS&#8217; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">R-2</FONT> (low) rating representing its last investment grade rating rank for short-term debt. The new BB (high) rating for Bell Canada&#8217;s subordinated long-term debt and junior subordinated
long-term debt is considered the highest rating below an investment grade rating on DBRS&#8217; rating scale. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:14pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:16pt; font-family:Arial"><FONT COLOR="#00549a"><B>Ratings for BCE and Bell

<P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">This section contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, relating to BCE&#8217;s common share dividend and dividend payout policy
target, expected dividend payout ratio level in the medium term, BCE&#8217;s business outlook, objectives and plans. Refer to section 1, Caution regarding forward-looking statements in this Annual Information Form. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">BCE has a long-standing objective of returning capital to shareholders through a sustainable common share dividend. Our dividend payout policy is an
integral component of our capital allocation framework and is designed to balance shareholder returns with the funding requirements of our strategic priorities and the maintenance of a strong balance sheet. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">In May 2025, following a comprehensive review of the macroeconomic, regulatory and competitive environments of BCE, the BCE Board established the
annualized dividend at $1.75 per BCE common share effective starting from the July&nbsp;15, 2025 dividend payment date. At the same time, BCE&#8217;s common share dividend payout policy was updated to target a dividend payout range of 40% to 55% of
free cash flow. This revised policy reflects the BCE Board&#8217;s focus on enhancing financial flexibility, supporting accelerated deleveraging and optimizing BCE&#8217;s cost of capital in the current operating and capital market environment,
while maintaining a meaningful and sustainable dividend for shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">The dividend payout policy is designed to remain consistent in the long
term. 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:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">On February&nbsp;5, 2026, the BCE Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.4375 per common share, payable on April&nbsp;15, 2026 to shareholders of
record at the close of business on March&nbsp;16, 2026. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2025, BCE&#8217;s dividend payout ratio<SUP
STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP> was approximately 64% of free cash flow, which is above the target policy range, reflecting the transitional nature of the year following the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-year</FONT> reset
of the dividend level. The dividend payout ratio is expected to trend toward the target policy range over the medium term, supported by continued free cash flow generation, disciplined capital investment and our ongoing focus on balance sheet
optimization. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">As announced in May 2025, BCE committed to providing, on an annual basis, the implied dividend payout ratio calculated on the basis of
free cash flow after payment of lease liabilities, in addition to the dividend payout ratio assessed against our policy framework. This financial measure is provided to enhance transparency for investors regarding cash available for dividend
payments after lease repayments and does not form part of BCE&#8217;s dividend payout policy, which continues to be assessed against free cash flow. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2025, the implied dividend payout ratio based on free cash flow after payment of lease liabilities<SUP
STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP> was approximately 99%, reflecting the transitional nature of the year following the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-year</FONT> reset of the dividend level. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">The dividend payout policy is intended to provide a long-term framework for BCE&#8217;s approach to allocating cash generated by the business, is not
intended to restrict the discretion of the BCE Board in declaring dividends and does not bind BCE in declaring any set amount of dividend. BCE&#8217;s dividend 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&#8217;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&#8217;s corporate strategy, operations, and financial results, which are, in turn, subject to various assumptions and risks, including those
outlined in section 1, Caution regarding forward-looking statements, in this Annual Information Form. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify">For additional information, refer to section

dividend payout ratio calculated on the basis of free cash flow after payment of lease liabilities, in addition to the dividend payout ratio assessed against our policy framework. This financial measure is provided to enhance transparency for
investors regarding cash available for dividend payments after lease repayments and does not form part of BCE&#8217;s dividend payout policy, which continues to be assessed against free cash flow. </FONT></P>

business, is not intended to restrict the discretion of the BCE Board in declaring dividends and does not bind BCE in declaring any set amount of dividend. BCE&#8217;s dividend 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&#8217;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&#8217;s corporate strategy, operations, and financial results, which are, in turn, subject to various assumptions and risks, including
those outlined in this MD&amp;A. </FONT></P></div><div style="clear:both; height:0pt; font-size:0pt">&nbsp;</div>

risks that is 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,

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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT

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 is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely
basis. For more details concerning BCE&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, refer to the Proxy Circular and section 12, <I>Effectiveness of internal controls</I>, in this MD&amp;A. </FONT></P>

the business, the risk environment and the external stakeholder environment. Based on this understanding, Corporate Security sets the standards of 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&#8217;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

vehicles, buildings, telecommunication towers and generators. Scope&nbsp;2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions, and are associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, heating/cooling and steam required by Bell&#8217;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 and 2 (market-based) emissions are sometimes collectively referred to in this MD&amp;A
as &#8220;operational emissions&#8221;. Scope 3 emissions cover all indirect emissions (not included in scope 2) that occur in our value chain, including both upstream and downstream emissions. GHG emissions from scope 3 occur from sources owned or
controlled by other entities in Bell&#8217;s value chain (such as our suppliers, employees and customers). As a result, measuring scope 3 emissions is more complex than measuring scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, for which we are able to obtain primary
data (such as liters of fuel consumed within our vehicle fleet and kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed within our buildings). For scope 3 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). The complexity of this data collection contributes to uncertainty in scope 3 emissions measurement. Scope 3 emissions represent the majority of BCE&#8217;s GHG emissions.

competitive local exchange carriers, local telephone companies, Internet service providers, wireless companies, satellite companies, VoIP providers and cable companies. Some of these competitors may have market presence, engineering, technical and
marketing capabilities and financial, personnel and other resources, in each case greater than those of Ziply Fiber. Additionally, some of Ziply Fiber&#8217;s competitors offer wireless services which may place them at a competitive advantage to
Ziply Fiber as a result of their ability to offer bundled services and discounts. Our ability to innovate our own technology may also affect our ability to compete. Ziply Fiber&#8217;s ability to compete successfully may be affected by various
competitive factors affecting the U.S. industry, including a changing regulatory environment that may affect our business and that of our competitors differently. Refer to section&nbsp;8.2, <I>U.S. regulatory environment</I>, of this MD&amp;A for

privacy and data practices are evolving rapidly, and new or amended privacy laws have been proposed or adopted in Canada and in the U.S. at the federal level, in multiple Canadian provinces, as well as in U.S. states and local jurisdictions. These
laws impose significant obligations, limitations on the use of personal information, fines and/or penalties, and often have short implementation timelines. Our data governance framework must not only meet applicable privacy requirements, but also be
able to evolve for continuous improvement. Effective data governance is also a component of good sustainability practices, which are considered an increasingly important measure of corporate performance and value creation. </FONT></P>

service revenues of 0.6%, partly offset by lower product revenues of 2.2%. The growth in service revenues was driven by the contribution from our new Bell CTS U.S segment, attributable to the acquisition of Ziply Fiber on August&nbsp;1, 2025,
coupled with the contribution from various other smaller acquisitions made in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, the year-over-year increase was led by higher Internet revenues reflecting the growth in our FTTP subscriber base, DTC streaming subscriber
growth at Bell Media, along with higher digital video advertising revenues, and greater revenues from our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">AI-powered</FONT> solutions business. <SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">(1)</SUP>&nbsp;The growth
in service revenues was moderated by the ongoing erosion in legacy voice, data and TV services and continued lower demand for traditional advertising. Wireless service revenues also declined year over year, due to greater competitive pricing
pressures experienced throughout most of the year, although abating in the latter part of the year as wireless operating momentum improved. The decrease in product revenues was driven by lower wireless product revenues reflecting reduced consumer
electronics sales due to permanent store closures of The Source in 2024.

to higher net gains on investments resulting from the sale of our minority stake in MLSE, lower impairment of assets primarily in our Bell Media segment as well as higher other income, partly offset by higher income taxes and higher depreciation and

Bell CTS U.S. segment due to the acquisition of Ziply Fiber, as well as from an increase in our Bell Media segment, partly offset by a decline in our Bell CTS Canada segment. The year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher
operating revenues coupled with lower operating expenses, reflecting cost reduction initiatives driven by workforce reductions and cost containment, including technology and automation-enabled operating efficiencies across the organization. This
drove an adjusted EBITDA margin of 43.6% in 2025, up 0.2 pts over 2024. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">In 2025, BCE&#8217;s cash flows from operating

slower FTTP footprint expansion in Canada, partly as a result of regulatory decisions that discourage network investment. The decline in capital spending was partly offset by capital investments in our new Bell CTS U.S. segment as a result of the

pricing pressures. 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 90% for 2025,
in line with the trend toward multiple devices, and the ongoing adoption of mobile devices and services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">In 2025, the

at the end of 2025, compared to approximately 7.7&nbsp;million at the end of 2024. Bell continues to make gains in market share as a result of the ongoing expansion of our FTTP direct fibre network and increased customer penetration of bundled
service offerings. Our ongoing focus on FTTP and its superior characteristics as compared to cable, such as higher and symmetrical download and upload speeds and greater reliability, has allowed us to connect approximately 8&nbsp;million homes and
businesses in Ontario, Qu&eacute;bec, the Atlantic provinces and Manitoba to our pure fibre technology. Notably, Bell pure fibre Internet was awarded fastest in Canada in Ookla&#8217;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Q3-Q4</FONT> 2025 Speedtest

subscriber base of 3.4&nbsp;million customers, or a 39% market share, unchanged compared to the end of 2024. Canada&#8217;s three largest cable companies had an estimated 4.3&nbsp;million TV subscribers, or a 49% market share at the end of 2025,
down slightly as compared to 50% at the end of 2024. The balance of industry subscribers were served by satellite TV and regional providers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT

platform, Fibe TV, continues to offer several service advantages relative to cable-based offerings, including flexible pricing plans and packages, picture clarity and quality, a broad and deep content library, and multiple ways for customers to
access content. These include hardware-free, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">app-based</FONT> Fibe TV on devices customers already own, as well as features such as Restart TV and cloud PVR. Bell&#8217;s streaming bundles further enhance the value

 COLOR="#231f20">Growth in the Canadian wireless market continues to be supported by rising data usage and the ongoing adoption of data-intensive services. Key drivers include the continued uptake of higher-value smartphones, unlimited data plans,
shared and family data offerings, IoT devices, as well as broader mobile access and related data services. These factors are expected to sustain demand for wireless data services over the medium to long term, particularly as usage patterns continue
to evolve. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Wireless growth has also been influenced by population and household formation dynamics. As new Canadians
become more established and expand their household connectivity needs, additional mobile devices are often added to existing accounts over time, contributing to incremental subscriber growth. However, recent government initiatives to moderate
immigration levels, including reductions in international student permits, could weigh on industry subscriber additions in the near term and may contribute to heightened competitive intensity. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Following a period of elevated competition in 2023 and 2024, industry ARPU showed signs of stabilization in 2025. Despite this
improvement, pricing pressures remain, driven in part by increased competitive activity and the continued shift toward BYOD plans. The greater prevalence of BYOD offerings has lowered barriers to switching and contributed to higher customer mobility
across carriers. </FONT></P></DIV><DIV STYLE="position:relative;float:left; margin-left:3%; width:49%;padding-right:0%;padding-bottom:8pt;overflow:visible;padding-top:3pt">

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. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">IoT technologies enable communications-enabled devices to connect over wireless networks and exchange data, supporting automation,
monitoring and data-driven decision-making across a wide range of applications. IoT platforms and networks are already well-established in sectors such as transportation, retail, manufacturing and natural resources, with adoption continuing to
expand across additional industries. Organizations are increasingly integrating IoT solutions with other digital applications to support operational transformation, improve efficiency and generate incremental value from connected assets. As a
result, IoT represents a growing opportunity for wireless connectivity, enabling service providers to deliver solutions that enhance security, productivity and service reliability. While IoT connectivity typically generates lower ARPU when sold as a
stand-alone service, it supports broader revenue and margin growth by enabling the sale of value-added applications and complementary services. IoT solutions often deepen customer relationships by increasing account penetration and expanding the
range of services provided to enterprise and public sector customers. In 2025, we added 324,002 mobile connected device subscribers, bringing our mobile connected device subscriber base to approximately 3.4&nbsp;million, up 10.4% from 2024.

market is maturing, with a penetration rate of approximately 95% across Canada at the end of 2025, 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, although residential voice losses continued at a slower pace than earlier years, reflecting our success in bundling our home services. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">The popularity of viewing television and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-demand</FONT> content across multiple screens,
particularly on handheld and connected devices, is expected to continue to grow as consumer viewing habits evolve. Streaming media providers continue to enhance their OTT and DTC offerings to compete for audience attention. Conventional television

immigration, supported by a mix shift of subscribers toward the premium Bell brand, a continued focus on customer retention, and higher product intensity across converged mobility, Internet and content offerings. We will continue to grow our
wireless mobile phone subscriber base in a disciplined and cost-conscious manner while managing heightened competitive intensity and promotional activity across all regions and market segments. Mobile phone blended ARPU is expected to decline
modestly, reflecting the flow-through of prior-year competitive pricing pressures and lower data overage revenues resulting from continued adoption of unlimited plans, partially offset by pricing actions, increased subscriber volumes and higher
product intensity. We also expect to increase revenues from IoT services and&nbsp;applications. </FONT></P></div><div style="clear:both; height:0pt; font-size:0pt">&nbsp;</div>

higher household penetration. Growth across the combined IPTV and streaming subscriber base is expected to be supported by the rollout of hardware-free Fibe TV and the adoption of bundled streaming services featuring Crave. Our strategy to increase
product intensity by expanding the number of services per household remains a key driver of revenue growth, supported by our Internet speed advantage over cable, a strong customer experience, greater cross-sell penetration of higher-value mobility
and Internet households, and the bundling of content. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">In enterprise markets, we expect to build on momentum from 2025 by
accelerating our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">AI-powered</FONT> growth vectors &#8211; Ateko, Bell Cyber and Bell AI Fabric &#8211; while managing declines in legacy connectivity services. We expect higher product sales and project-based
spending by medium and large enterprise and public sector customers, supported by continued wireless subscriber growth. However, as large enterprise customers seek to leverage lower-cost technologies to transform their workforces and respond to
increased economic uncertainty, spending on core traditional telecommunications services and products is expected to remain variable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT
 COLOR="#231f20">We will continue to focus on our operating cost structure to help offset pressures from slowing customer growth, ongoing erosion of high-margin wireline voice and other legacy revenues, and competitive repricing pressures. Continued
operating efficiencies enabled by our direct fibre footprint, changes in consumer behaviour and product innovation, digital and AI adoption, product and service enhancements, expanding self-serve capabilities, new call centre and digital
investments, other improvements to the customer service experience, management workforce reductions including attrition and retirements, and lower contracted rates from our suppliers are expected to deliver meaningful cost savings and productivity

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Ziply Fiber&#8217;s fibre build program is expected to accelerate in 2026 following the reprioritization of investment
toward higher-growth markets. This is expected to drive higher year-over-year Internet net subscriber additions and support revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth, as the business continues to benefit from the operating leverage inherent in its fibre
platform. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">The outlook also reflects opportunities to increase penetration of residential and commercial data services
across existing and newly built fibre assets. Demand for high-bandwidth commercial connectivity, including data centre and colocation services, is expected to support growth, driven by increased cloud adoption and data-intensive applications.
Continued investments in automation, self-service and digital capabilities are expected to support operating efficiencies and enhance the customer experience.

of an aggregated wholesale high-speed access service available on FTTP facilities to be provided by large ILECs in all of their respective incumbent territories as of February&nbsp;13, 2025. This new service materially improves the business position
of our competitors. Several parties filed Part 1 applications asking the CRTC to review and vary several aspects of the Final Decision. On June&nbsp;20, 2025, the CRTC issued Telecom Decision CRTC <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2025-154</FONT>
(the R&amp;V Decision) denying all of the review and vary applications. In a motion dated July&nbsp;18, 2025, Cogeco and Eastlink sought leave to appeal the R&amp;V Decision to the Federal Court of Appeal, which was granted on September&nbsp;10,
2025. Competitive Network Operators of Canada (CNOC), Cogeco, Eastlink, and Saskatchewan Telecommunications filed a joint appeal of the Final Decision to the

revenues from the previously announced divestitures of 45 radio stations, partly offset by greater OOH advertising revenues which benefited from the acquisition of OUTEDGE in June 2024, as well as higher digital video advertising revenues from
growth in Connected TV and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ad-supported</FONT> subscription tiers on Crave, underscoring Bell Media&#8217;s shift towards video, audio and OOH digital platforms.

 COLOR="#231f20">Consumers continue to have access to a growing array of online entertainment and information options, with new services introduced regularly. This expansion has contributed to increased fragmentation in viewing and consumption

more content online, viewing less scheduled programming live, consuming more video on mobile and connected devices, and accessing expanded libraries of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-demand</FONT> programming. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Streaming services such as Crave, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+ and YouTube are widely used by households to complement
linear television viewing, with a growing number of consumers using these services as alternatives to traditional linear packages. As content becomes more widely distributed across providers, competition for viewership has intensified, contributing
to higher content costs and increasing the need for consumers to subscribe to multiple services. In response, the industry has introduced bundled offerings, lower-priced <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ad-supported</FONT> tiers and an expanded
range of FAST channels, including platforms such as The Roku Channel, Tubi and Pluto TV. As of 2026, Bell Media operates 13 English- and French-language FAST channels featuring entertainment, factual, news and sports programming, available across
multiple distribution platforms, including LG Channels, Samsung TV Plus, Plex, The Roku Channel, Tubi and Bell TV. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Premium video content remains a key differentiator for media companies seeking to attract and retain audiences and advertisers. Live
sports and special events, in particular, are expected to continue to draw significant viewership. However, competition for premium content rights has intensified, with global players such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, DAZN, Paramount+ and Apple
TV+ increasing demand for content, contributing to higher program rights costs and increased competition for key properties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT
 COLOR="#231f20">Consumer behaviour continues to evolve, prompting media companies to adapt their content, distribution and product strategies. Many companies have expanded DTC offerings to better compete with
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traditional</FONT> platforms, including Bell Media&#8217;s bilingual Crave service, TSN and RDS, which are available across a wide range of devices and platforms. While SVOD services continue to dominate the
streaming landscape, AVOD and FAST services are experiencing strong growth, driven in part by demand from more price-conscious consumers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT
 COLOR="#231f20">In parallel, advertising buying patterns are shifting across all media platforms. Growth in digital consumption has increased demand for more targeted, data-driven advertising solutions, including self-serve and programmatic buying
models. As a result, Bell Media and other media companies are enhancing their advertising platforms and capabilities to offer more targeted and measurable advertising solutions through data-enabled and programmatic channels.

platforms are experiencing flat to declining audiences. Subscriber revenue growth is expected to be supported by the continued scaling of Crave, TSN and RDS streaming services through expanded distribution, optimized content offerings and ongoing
user experience (UX) enhancements. At the same time, continued shifts in media consumption toward competing OTT and digital platforms, as well as ongoing TV cord-shaving and cord-cutting, are expected to continue to pressure legacy media subscriber
volumes and revenues. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Bell Media remains focused on advancing its digital-first media strategy, including growing

maintenance of strategic content supply arrangements across platforms, and the production and commissioning of high-quality Canadian content. Bell Media also plans to continue scaling Connected TV and DAAI, enabling more precise advertising
targeting and personalized ad experiences at the household and device level. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT COLOR="#231f20">Bell Media&#8217;s sports offerings are

The funding requirements of our post-employment benefit plans, resulting from valuations of our plan assets and liabilities, depend on a number of factors, including actual returns on post-employment benefit plan assets, long-term interest rates,
plan demographics, and applicable regulations and actuarial standards. Actuarial valuations were last performed for our significant post-employment benefit plans as at December&nbsp;31, 2024.

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&#8217;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&#8217;s corporate strategy, operations and financial results,

operating efficiencies, and reflected higher product margins, due to our disciplined approach to subscriber loadings over the holiday period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT

wireline product revenues from reduced land mobile radio systems sales to the government sector due to timing. Q4 2025 service revenues decreased by 1.1% year over year, driven by ongoing declines in legacy voice, data and TV services, partly offset
by higher Internet revenues in our consumer, wholesale and large business markets, reflecting growth in FTTP subscribers, along with the flow-through of residential rate increases, moderated by greater residential acquisition, retention and bundle
discounts. Higher revenues from our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">AI-powered</FONT> solutions business, including the impact of small acquisitions made in 2025, also moderated the decline in service revenues. Modest decline in wireless service
revenues reflecting ongoing but abating competitive pressures on base rate plan pricing and higher discounting, as well as lower overage and outbound roaming revenues. </FONT></P>

subscriber additions and retention costs due to device upgrades related to contract renewals are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters. For ARPU, historically we have experienced seasonal sequential increases in the second and third
quarters, due to higher levels of usage and roaming in the spring and summer months, followed by historical seasonal sequential declines in the fourth and first quarters. However, this seasonal effect on ARPU has moderated, as unlimited and larger

currently mandates wholesale high-speed access for wireline broadband as well as domestic wireless roaming services and a wholesale facilities-based MVNO access service. Lower mandated wholesale rates or the imposition of unfavourable terms for
mandated services would undermine our incentives to invest in network improvements and extensions, limit our flexibility, influence the market structure, improve the business position of our competitors, limit network-based differentiation of our

the CRTC, ISED, Canadian Heritage and the Competition Bureau continue to play a significant role in regulatory matters such as establishing and modifying regulations for mandatory access to networks, spectrum auctions, the imposition of
consumer-related codes of conduct, approval of acquisitions, broadcast and spectrum licensing, foreign ownership requirements, privacy and cybersecurity obligations, and control of copyright piracy. Adverse decisions by governments or regulatory
agencies, increasing regulation or a lack of effective anti-piracy remedies could have negative financial, operational, reputational or competitive consequences for our business.

Federal Court of Appeal. On May&nbsp;28, 2025, the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the CRTC&#8217;s decision, finding no errors in their selection of Qu&eacute;becor Media Inc.&#8217;s proposed rate. While the CRTC&#8217;s subsequent determination in
Bell Mobility&#8217;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 Inc. (collectively, the Companies) indicating that following a review it had conducted of fees that Canadians pay when they travel internationally, it had certain concerns with respect to the choice available to Canadians when roaming
and roaming rates. The CRTC indicated that it expected the Companies to report back to the CRTC by November&nbsp;4, 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 Companies filed their responses on November&nbsp;4, 2024 setting out their plans to the CRTC. On March&nbsp;7, 2025, the CRTC responded that it was &#8220;encouraged&#8221; by some of the steps taken to date,
while also setting its expectation for more progress on reducing roaming fees, including for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pay-per-use</FONT></FONT> offerings. It directed the Companies to provide further updates
on May&nbsp;5, 2025 and again on November&nbsp;5, 2025, which the Companies delivered. On February&nbsp;5, 2026, the CRTC requested supplemental information on the Companies&#8217; roaming offerings, with a response due March 19, 2026. 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9.5pt; font-family:Arial" ALIGN="justify"><FONT

Atlantic Canada and Manitoba by February&nbsp;13, 2025. Telus Communications Inc. and Saskatchewan Telecommunications were also required to provide aggregated access to their respective FTTP facilities in Alberta, B.C., and Saskatchewan by the same

However, this five-year 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, 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, Saskatchewan Telecommunications, Telus
Communications Inc., Cogeco, 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

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. On June&nbsp;4, 2024, the CRTC released its decision, requiring
foreign streamers to contribute 5% of their Canadian broadcasting revenue to various funds set out by the CRTC as of September 2024. However, Canadian streamers affiliated with a licensed broadcaster (for example, Bell Media&#8217;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 Inc.,
the Motion Picture Association-Canada (which represents Netflix Studios, LLC, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Universal City Studios LLC, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) and
Spotify AB, have each sought leave to appeal and/or judicial review of the CRTC&#8217;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 has launched additional consultations, including on how to support the creation of Canadian and Indigenous content (both audio-visual and audio), as well

modernize the definition of Canadian content and will also explore the types of expenditures that traditional broadcasting undertakings and online undertakings should make towards this content. On November&nbsp;18, 2025, the CRTC announced a revised

Canadian broadcasters continue to qualify as Canadian content and remain exempt from the CRTC&#8217;s formal certification process. In addition, the CRTC determined that foreign streaming services must publicly release their Canadian broadcasting

platforms that make news content available to persons in Canada</I> (the Online News Act), received royal assent. The Online News Act requires digital news intermediaries, such as Google, 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&#8217;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, 2023 (the Regulations). The 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 Online News Act if it commits to pay $100&nbsp;million annually (growing each year by inflation) to a collective (the Collective) which will then distribute it to eligible news outlets. On June&nbsp;7, 2024, Google submitted an
application for exemption to the CRTC and on October&nbsp;28, 2024, the CRTC approved a five-year exemption for Google, which required Google to provide payment to the Collective by December&nbsp;27, 2024 for calendar year 2024. Pursuant to the
Regulations, of the $100&nbsp;million to be paid by Google, 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). For 2024, Bell Media received a total payment of $8,162,577. Bell Media&#8217;s application for compensation for 2025 is currently being assessed by the Collective; payment is expected by
the end of the first quarter of 2026. 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 utilized.

Telecommunications Services Sector, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (commonly known as Team Telecom) under which they made certain commitments intended to ensure that the transaction would be consistent
with U.S. national security, law enforcement, and similar interests. As is standard with such agreements involving foreign-owned U.S. carriers, the FCC made compliance with the LOA a condition of Ziply Fiber&#8217;s FCC authorizations. FCC rules
also require Ziply Fiber to seek further approvals if any previously unapproved <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> investor obtains, or seeks to obtain, direct or indirect interests in Ziply Fiber that exceed certain thresholds. If any
new Ziply Fiber foreign ownership were to exceed such levels without further FCC authorization and/or if Ziply Fiber, BCE Holding Corporation, or BCE were to fail to meet their obligations under the LOA, the FCC could subject Ziply Fiber to a range
of monetary and other penalties, which could (in extreme cases) include license revocation proceedings. Any such penalties could have a material adverse effect on Ziply Fiber&#8217;s business, financial condition and results of operations and

with significant implications for network management flexibility, compliance burdens, and potential state-federal conflicts. While the FCC has, at times, treated BIAS as an unregulated information service with limited federal disclosure obligations,
recent federal actions and court decisions have vacillated, and some states have adopted or considered state-level net neutrality or broadband affordability mandates, contributing to a patchwork of rules. In January 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Sixth Circuit invalidated an FCC order that reclassified broadband as a Title II telecommunications service and imposed associated &#8220;net neutrality&#8221; rules. The proliferation of state-level broadband regulations could increase
compliance costs and operational complexity for ISPs operating across multiple jurisdictions. </FONT></P></div><div style="clear:both; height:0pt; font-size:0pt">&nbsp;</div>

ensuring that our AI systems do not provide inaccurate or misleading information to customers, employees and other users; avoiding explicit or implicit bias or discrimination in AI models; obtaining proper consent for the collection and use of
personal data to train and operate AI systems; and preventing the generation of content that may infringe on third-party intellectual property rights. Failure to adequately address <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">AI-related</FONT> risks could
result in the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and personal data; theft, fraud, or cyberattacks; disruptions to our business operations; financial losses; harm to our brand and reputation; decreased customer and investor

significant capital expenditures in order to provide additional capacity and reduce network congestion. The trend for families to move from urban centres to less urbanized areas increases the need to develop and/or enhance our networks in areas that

regulatory authorities with respect to network availability could lead to increased identification of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliance</FONT> and potential fines. Furthermore, we may need to manage the possibility of instability in
the context of our transformation initiatives, including as we transition towards converged wireline and wireless networks and newer technologies, such as software-defined networks leveraging open source software and cloud services, and increased
reliance on third-party hyperscale cloud providers. Network failures and slowdowns, whether caused by internal or external forces, human error or threat, or external events, could adversely affect our brand and reputation, subscriber acquisition and
retention, as well as our financial results. While we invest in the resiliency of our networks and other infrastructure, and establish response strategies and business continuity protocols to seek to maintain service consistency, there is no
assurance that such investments and protocols will be sufficient to prevent network failure, or the failure of other infrastructure, or a disruption in the delivery of our services.

a potential recession, as well as elevated levels of inflation and interest rates affecting our customers&#8217; financial condition, could adversely affect our ability to recover payments on receivables and lead to further increases in bad debts.
This, in turn, could negatively impact our revenues and cash flows, as well as our position under our securitized receivables program.

These shifts may require rapid reskilling and redeployment of employees and may increase workforce disruption risk. Failure to attract, appropriately train, motivate, remunerate, or deploy employees on initiatives that further our business strategy

the failure of such initiatives, including of new technologies, to generate anticipated GHG emissions reductions, could negatively affect our ability to achieve our GHG emissions reduction targets. In addition, future corporate initiatives, such as
business acquisitions and business dispositions, including the previously announced pending disposition of Northwestel, as well as our acquisition of Ziply Fiber, the development of AI data centres, and organic growth, could negatively affect our

addition, if average temperatures where we are operating are warmer or cooler year over year for longer periods of time, there will be an increasing need for cooling or heating capacity in our facilities. This will increase our energy consumption
and associated operational costs. Furthermore, in order to remain resilient to these increasing or decreasing temperatures, we would need to increase our investments in our infrastructure to address its accelerated degradation, again leading to

company. Excess free cash flow shows how much cash is available to repay debt and reinvest in our company, after the payment of dividends on common shares. We believe that certain investors and analysts use free cash flow, free cash flow after
payment of lease liabilities and excess free cash flow to value a business and its underlying assets and to evaluate the financial strength and performance of our businesses. The most directly comparable financial measure under IFRS Accounting

During the third quarter of 2025, the decline in legacy advertising demand and spending in the linear advertising market was identified as an impairment indicator for certain Bell Media CGUs. The estimate of the recoverable amount of the CGUs and group of CGUs is based on the fair value less costs to sell using discounted cash flows and market approaches.

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). </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%">20 BCE Inc. 2025 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-368-11"><ix:continuation id="f-412-2" continuedAt="f-412-3"><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%">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="i8f60a100aa2e495d9146612d5abfee84"></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.

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.

The largest reseller, TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TekSavvy), obtained leave to appeal the CRTC&#8217;s decision of May&#160;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. On March 27, 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed TekSavvy&#8217;s application for leave to appeal. 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:12pt;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. In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final outcome or timing of claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#8217;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March 5, 2026, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements.

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.

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 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, 2025 to December 31, 2030, using discount rates of 9% to 11% and perpetuity growth rates of (2%) to 2%, as well as market multiple data from public companies and market transactions.

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&#160;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. On March 27, 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed TekSavvy&#8217;s application for leave to appeal. 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:12pt;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. In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final outcome or timing of claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#8217;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March 5, 2026, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements. We believe that we have strong defences and we intend to vigorously defend our positions.</span></div><span></span>

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.

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). </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%">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="i8f60a100aa2e495d9146612d5abfee84"></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.

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. 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 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. Capitalized costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the period and pattern of transfer to the customer of the related products or services. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i258f7c782e3b4a96ab1666178db390f7"&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;Bell CTS Canada and Bell CTS U.S. segment 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;We recognize product revenues from the sale of equipment when a customer takes possession of the product. 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, with an option to finance any remaining device balance over an additional 12 months. 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. Services are paid for on a monthly basis except where a billing schedule has been established with certain business customers under long-term contracts that can extend up to ten years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="i17edb686d9124e88aaca559aaaec252a"&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;Bell Media segment revenues&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:112%"&gt;We recognize advertising revenue when advertisements are aired on the radio or TV, posted on our websites or applications or appear on our advertising panels and street furniture. Revenues relating to subscriber fees are recorded on a monthly basis as the services are provided. Advertising customer payments and subscriber fees earned from distributors are usually due monthly as the services are provided. Customer payments for direct-to-consumer subscriber fees are paid in full at the time of the sale. &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;See Note 3, &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;Segmented information&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;, for additional details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="ie1315920a6f049ee923007d68c556d38"&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;D) Share-based payments&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 share-based payment arrangements include an employee savings plan (ESP), restricted share units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs), deferred share units (DSUs) and stock options.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i82e18b26d5954c3a97b06bcd75adbcba"&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;ESP &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 recognize our ESP contributions as compensation expense 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;Operating 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 consolidated income statements (income statements) over the two-year vesting period, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. The value of an ESP at the grant date is equal to the value of one BCE common share. Additional ESPs are issued to reflect dividends declared on BCE common shares.

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="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;As lessor, a lease is classified as a finance lease if substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee, otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. Finance leases are recognized in the statements of financial position as a net investment in lease, comprised mainly of the present value of lease payments not yet received. Lease payments received under operating leases are recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i5145cfa492c54fae8158e93b6208d607"&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.

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.

We recognize an impairment charge in the income statements by reducing the carrying value of goodwill when the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated is less than its carrying value. Any impairment charge in excess of the carrying value of the related goodwill reduces the carrying value of each of the other assets of the corresponding CGU or groups of CGUs on a pro rata basis, not below the recoverable amount of each asset. &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 purposes of impairment testing of goodwill, our CGUs or groups of CGUs correspond to our reporting segments as disclosed in Note 3, &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;Segmented information&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;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span id="i49608c82cf99414bb9bac56c8e9f9ef5"&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;O) Financial instruments and contract 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 measure trade and other receivables, including wireless device financing plan receivables, at amortized cost using the effective interest method, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. &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 portfolio investments in equity securities are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income and are presented in our statements of financial position as &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;Other non-current assets&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;.

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="i99eda7adf9a34d9c803725f4a8605aeb"&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="i5f12deab4edf45748099d7f9048b8d63"&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="i4baa0ef14775466d9881befda50eb706"&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). &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;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="i8f60a100aa2e495d9146612d5abfee84"&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.

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 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. Capitalized costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the period and pattern of transfer to the customer of the related products or services. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i258f7c782e3b4a96ab1666178db390f7"&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;Bell CTS Canada and Bell CTS U.S. segment 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;We recognize product revenues from the sale of equipment when a customer takes possession of the product. 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, with an option to finance any remaining device balance over an additional 12 months. 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.

Revenues relating to subscriber fees are recorded on a monthly basis as the services are provided. Advertising customer payments and subscriber fees earned from distributors are usually due monthly as the services are provided. Customer payments for direct-to-consumer subscriber fees are paid in full at the time of the sale.</ifrs-full:DescriptionOfAccountingPolicyForRecognitionOfRevenue>

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="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;As lessor, a lease is classified as a finance lease if substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee, otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. Finance leases are recognized in the statements of financial position as a net investment in lease, comprised mainly of the present value of lease payments not yet received. Lease payments received under operating leases are recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"&gt;&lt;span id="i5145cfa492c54fae8158e93b6208d607"&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="i9a1f66155ac743d4804752996f9808c0"&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 &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;any impact from changes in interest rates and inflation. We recognize an impairment charge in the income statements by reducing the carrying value of goodwill when the recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated is less than its carrying value. Any impairment charge in excess of the carrying value of the related goodwill reduces the carrying value of each of the other assets of the corresponding CGU or groups of CGUs on a pro rata basis, not below the recoverable amount of each asset. &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;For purposes of impairment testing of goodwill, our CGUs or groups of CGUs correspond to our reporting segments as disclosed in Note 3, &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;Segmented information&lt;/span&gt;.</ifrs-full:DescriptionOfAccountingPolicyForImpairmentOfNonfinancialAssetsExplanatory>

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="i9eb5f3046ba148f1ad9924090b243e5e"&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.

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.

(Northwestel) to Sixty North Unity, a consortium of Indigenous communities from the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, for up to $1&#160;billion, subject to adjustments. We previously expected this transaction to close in 2025 and we continue to work with Sixty North Unity to close the transaction in 2026. The transaction remains subject to certain closing conditions, including securing financing by Sixty North Unity 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 Canada segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</bce:DisclosureOfBusinessCombinationsAndDispositionTextBlock>

These charges included $554&#160;million allocated to indefinite-life intangible assets for broadcast licences, spectrum and other licences and brands, $250&#160;million allocated to program and feature film rights, $103&#160;million allocated to property, plant and equipment for network, infrastructure and equipment and assets under construction, $47&#160;million allocated to software, $18&#160;million allocated to prepaid expenses and inventory, and $4&#160;million allocated to finite-life intangible assets mainly for trademarks. 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 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, 2025 to December 31, 2030, using discount rates of 9% to 11% and perpetuity growth rates of (2%) to 2%, as well as market multiple data from public companies and market transactions. A negative change to any of these assumptions and projections may result in further impairment charges for certain groups of CGUs. After impairments, the carrying value of the impacted CGUs was $352&#160;million.&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;There was no impairment of Bell Media goodwill.

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.

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&#160;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. On March 27, 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed TekSavvy&#x2019;s application for leave to appeal. 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:12pt;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. In particular, because of the nature of our consumer-facing business, we are exposed to class actions pursuant to which substantial monetary damages may be claimed. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties of the litigation process, we cannot predict the final outcome or timing of claims and legal proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, and based on information currently available and management&#x2019;s assessment of the merits of the claims and legal proceedings pending at March 5, 2026, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these claims and legal proceedings is unlikely to have a material and negative effect on our financial statements. We believe that we have strong defences and we intend to vigorously defend our positions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</ifrs-full:DisclosureOfCommitmentsAndContingentLiabilitiesExplanatory>
