The growth in service revenues was attributable to the contribution from our Bell CTS U.S. segment, as a result of the acquisition of Ziply Fiber on August 1, 2025, higher Bell Media revenues, led by the success of the broadcast of the 2026 F&#233;d&#233;ration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup, higher direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming revenues, and increased revenues from Formula 1 (F1) Canadian Grand Prix 2026, as well as reflecting the continued growth from our AI-powered solutions business </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:5.85pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;position:relative;top:-3.15pt;vertical-align:baseline">(1) </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">in Bell CTS Canada.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:5.85pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;position:relative;top:-3.15pt;vertical-align:baseline"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The increase in service revenues was moderated by continued erosion in legacy voice, data and TV services and ongoing lower demand for traditional advertising. Additionally, wireless service revenues declined year over year, mainly due to the non-recurrence of revenues from the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit, mitigated by more disciplined pricing on base rate plans in the market this quarter. The year-over-year decline in product revenues was driven by strong Q2&#160;2025 performance due to the delivery of our first AI facility in Kamloops, B.C., coupled with reduced wireless product revenues from lower wireless device sales to consumers, partly offset by lower discounting. </font></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_34"></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Net earnings of $629 million and net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $558 million in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $15 million and $21 million, respectively, compared to&#160;the same period last year, mainly due to higher depreciation and amortization, higher interest expense and higher income taxes, partly offset by higher other income and higher adjusted EBITDA.</font></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_37"></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">BCE adjusted EBITDA increased by 1.0% in Q2 2026, compared to the same period last year, driven by the contribution from our Bell CTS U.S. segment due to the acquisition of Ziply Fiber and growth from our Bell Media segment, partly offset by a decline in our Bell CTS Canada segment. The year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA reflected higher operating revenues, partly offset by greater operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 43.8% in Q2 2026, declined by 0.1 pts over Q2 2025, primarily due to higher operating expenses, reflecting the operating costs of Ziply Fiber as a result of the acquisition, and higher content costs in Bell Media, moderated by ongoing cost containment and operating efficiencies across the company. The decline in adjusted EBITDA margin was partly offset by higher service revenue flow-through, along with a reduced proportion of lower margin product sales in our total revenue base, and reflected our disciplined approach to wireless subscriber loadings.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:15pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#1c1b1a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:7.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(1)</font><font style="color:#1c1b1a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:7.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:9.45pt">AI-powered solutions revenues is comprised of revenues from Ateko, Bell Cyber, and Bell AI Fabric.</font></div><div style="height:42.75pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">8     BCE&#160;Inc.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;2026 SECOND QUARTER SHAREHOLDER REPORT  </font></div></div></div></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_40"></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="background-color:#ffffff"><div style="min-height:42.75pt;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">BCE&#8217;s EPS of $0.60 in Q2&#160;2026 decreased by $0.03 compared to the same period last year.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted net earnings, which excludes the impact of severance, acquisition and other costs, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on derivatives used to economically hedge equity settled share-based compensation plans, net equity gains (losses) on investments in associates and joint ventures, net gains (losses) on investments, net early debt redemption gains (costs) and impairment of assets, net of tax and NCI, was $604 million, or $0.65 per common share, compared to $592 million, or $0.63 per common share, for the same period last year.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Cash flows from operating activities in the second quarter of 2026 increased by $215 million, compared to the same period last year, mainly due to lower severance and other costs paid, lower income taxes paid and higher adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by higher interest paid. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Free cash flow in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $110 million compared to the same period last year, mainly due to higher capital expenditures, partly offset by higher cash flows from operating activities, excluding cash from income taxes paid on significant divestitures and acquisition and other costs paid.</font></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_43"></div><div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:100.000%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:98.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr style="height:3pt"><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1pt solid #12528a;padding:0 1pt"><div><font><br></font></div></td></tr></table><font id="i9f771234d04f4c7fb43d27dfe3cc0c3e"></font><font style="color:#12528a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:13.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">1.2 Key corporate and business developments</font></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_49"></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#12528a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:13.5pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Public debt offerings</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On June 3, 2026, Bell Canada completed a public offering in Canada of $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes (MTN) debentures in two series pursuant to its MTN program.

The growth in BCE operating revenues was driven by an increase in Bell CTS of 0.4% in the quarter and 2.5% year to date, as a result of the contribution from our Bell CTS U.S. segment of $234 million and $468 million, respectively, due to the acquisition of Ziply Fiber on August 1, 2025, partly offset by a decline in our Bell CTS Canada segment of 4.0% and 2.0%, respectively, while revenues in our Bell Media segment grew by 8.9% in Q2 2026 and 4.8% year to date.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div

Bell CTS operating costs remained relatively stable in Q2 2026, compared to Q2 2025, as the operating costs of Bell CTS U.S. of $139 million from the acquisition of Ziply Fiber on August 1, 2025 were essentially offset by lower costs in Bell CTS Canada of $136 million, whereas year-to-date expenses grew by 2.9% year over year, from Bell CTS U.S. operating costs of $271 million, due to the acquisition of Ziply Fiber, partly offset by lower Bell CTS Canada costs of 1.8%.</font></div><div style="margin-top:6pt"><font><br></font></div><div

The growth in Q2 2026 advertising revenues was moderated by continued softness in traditional advertising demand, coupled with lower audio revenues following the divestitures in 2025 of 45 radio stations and the non-recurrence of advertising revenues from the 2025 Canadian Federal Election. Conversely, in the first half of the year, advertising revenues declined by 3.9%, as the lower demand for traditional advertising, radio station divestitures, the unfavourable year-over-year impact from the 2025 Canadian Federal Election and the shift in advertising dollars to the principal broadcaster of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games more than offset the favourable factors discussed above. </font></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.86pt">Subscriber revenues</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> grew by 6.7% in Q2 2026 and by 9.2% year to date, compared to the same periods last year, due to strong growth in Crave and sports streaming revenues primarily from higher DTC streaming subscribers, including the favourable impact from Canadian original content and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, partly offset by ongoing erosion in BDU subscribers.

This consultation will 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 18, 2025, the CRTC announced a revised definition of Canadian content, raising the required number of creative positions to be held by Canadians and implementing a graduated threshold for Canadian copyright ownership. In-house productions by 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 revenues and spending on Canadian content, which Canadian broadcasters currently do. A number of parties sought leave to appeal the CRTC&#8217;s decision. On March&#160;27,&#160;2026, the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed these appeals as being premature stating that the CRTC had only issued a general policy statement and not a final decision. It is possible that these parties will seek leave to appeal again once the CRTC issues binding decisions. The outcome and timing of these proceedings is unknown.

ISED proposes that the auctioned licences will have a 10-year term and that there will be limits on the extent of transferability of licences for the first five years of the licence term. In addition, ISED proposes that licensees will be required to deploy a certain number of sites in each licence area at five and nine and a half years following licence issuance. The consultation paper also seeks comments on the transition process for existing 38 GHz licensees from fixed to flexible use (i.e., mobile or fixed use), as well as the limitations on the use of 38 GHz spectrum by satellite earth stations.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:4pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">On March 6, 2025, ISED released an </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Addendum to the Non-Competitive Local Licensing Framework to include Spectrum in the 27.5-28.35 GHz Band</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> which states that ISED will make available 850 MHz of spectrum in the 28 GHz spectrum band for flexible use operations through a non-competitive local licensing process.

ISED will use a clock auction format similar to the 3800 MHz spectrum auction to licence 24 blocks of 100 MHz in both the 26 GHz and 38 GHz spectrum bands for a total of 4800 MHz of mmWave spectrum in Tier 5 service areas. ISED will implement a cross-band spectrum cap of 1200 MHz across the 26 GHz and 38 GHz spectrum bands which will remain in place for a period of five years starting from the initial licence issuance date. The auctioned licences will have a 10-year term and licences will not be transferable for the first five years of the licence term if the transfer results in exceeding the cross-band spectrum cap. In addition, licensees will be required to meet site deployment requirements which vary depending on the licence area for nine and a half years following licence issuance. Existing eligible fixed Tier 3 licensees in the 26 GHz and 38 GHz bands can apply to transition to flexible use licences up to six months prior to the mmWave auction. ISED will place a moratorium on transfers for all fixed service 26 GHz and 38 GHz licences beginning six months prior to the auction, which will remain in place until new flexible use licences are issued following the auction. The mmWave auction is scheduled to begin October 19, 2027. It is unclear what impact the results of this decision could have on our business and financial results at this time.</font></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_283"></div><div style="margin-bottom:4pt;margin-top:4pt;text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="height:42.75pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">48     BCE&#160;Inc.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;2026 SECOND QUARTER SHAREHOLDER REPORT  </font></div></div></div></div><div id="i79bc7f2ffd164af193a4a0658d0abc98_289"></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="background-color:#ffffff"><div style="min-height:42.75pt;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt"><font id="i29e76d5cb72549708e9648775d7ef584"></font><font style="color:#12528a;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:18pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">7 Accounting policies </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:100.000%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:19.367%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.783%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.783%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.783%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.784%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr style="height:3pt"><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1pt solid #12528a;padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1pt solid #12528a;padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1pt solid #12528a;padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1pt solid #12528a;padding:0 1pt"></td><td colspan="3" style="border-top:1pt solid #12528a;padding:0 1pt"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td><td colspan="3" style="display:none"></td></tr></table><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">BCE&#8217;s Q2&#160;2026 Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the IASB, under IAS 34 - </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Interim Financial Reporting</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Bell Slim Office',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> and were approved by the BCE Board on August&#160;5, 2026.

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.

This transaction is expected to enhance Bell Canada's growth profile and strategic position by giving it a foothold in the large, underpenetrated U.S. fibre market, while increasing its scale, diversifying its operating footprint and unlocking significant growth opportunities. The results of Ziply Fiber are included in our Bell CTS U.S. segment.
