--  Estimated $24.0 million additional savings generated by restructuring
    initiatives in the News Media segment in the first half of 2010,
    compared with the same period of 2009, for total annualized savings of
    $90.0 million since the program began.


"Quebecor maintained its momentum in the second quarter of 2010, posting increases in revenue and operating income," said Pierre Karl Peladeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quebecor. "Adjusted income from continuing operations, which reflects the growth of the Company's operating activities, not counting unusual or one-time items, was up 21.7%. The Telecommunications segment spearheaded our second quarter growth with significant year-over-year revenue and operating income increases, driven by customer increases for all its services. We are pressing ahead with the build-out of the Advanced Wireless Services ("AWS") network in order to start it up this summer. As of June 30, 2010, all switching services and platforms were installed and operational. Siting and tower-sharing agreements had been signed for more than 95% of the antenna sites and the equipment was installed or being installed at all those sites. We remain focused on our promise to deliver a superior customer experience by rolling out a reliable, effective wireless network which, combined with our other products and exclusive content, will provide consumers with one-stop solutions to all their telecommunications needs.

"Building on the third consecutive quarter of strong operating income growth in the News Media segment, the Company is forging ahead with its various convergence initiatives, including the I.S.O. program, the operational integration of Canoe Inc. ("Canoe"), the startup of the Quebecor Media Network, the roll-out of the QMI Agency and the creation of the QMI National Sales Office.

Meanwhile, two new initiatives were introduced in the second quarter of 2010. The illicoweb.tv service, launched in June 2010, will offer Videotron Ltd. ("Videotron") customers who subscribe to the Digital TV and Internet access services an exceptional range of content via the Web, at no additional cost. The service will gradually be expanded to include all the channels in the customer's existing Digital TV package. And Sun TV News (The Sun TV News Channel), the new English-language news and opinion specialty channel we are planning to launch in the first quarter of 2011, will add a high-potential niche to Quebecor's media portfolio.

"At the dawn of a new period of economic prosperity, Quebecor intends to seize every opportunity to develop its integrated business model in order to maximize its growth going forward."

Analysis of second quarter 2010 results


--  Quebecor's revenues increased $47.6 million (5.0%) to $994.0 million.

    --  Revenues increased in Telecommunications (by $55.7 million or
        11.4% of segment revenues) mainly due to customer growth for all
        services.

    --  Revenues decreased in News Media (by $4.3 million or -1.6%),
        mainly because of lower advertising revenues at the community
        newspapers and lower circulation revenues, and in Leisure and
        Entertainment ($2.2 million or -3.2%).

--  Operating income rose $38.3 million (12.1%) to $354.2 million due to
    increases in Telecommunications ($31.3 million or 13.5% of segment
    operating income), News Media ($4.0 million or 7.2%) and Broadcasting
    ($1.1 million or 4.4%).

--  Quebecor's net income totalled $65.5 million ($1.02 per basic share)
    in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $76.8 million ($1.19 per
    basic share) in the same period of 2009.

    --  The $11.3 million ($0.17 per basic share) decrease was mainly due
        to:

    --  $31.2 million increase in income tax expense, reflecting the
        unfavourable impact of unusual items, as well as higher pre-tax
        income;

    --  $16.7 million unfavourable variance in gains and losses on
        valuation and translation of financial instruments;

    --  $6.9 million increase in financial expenses, including the $6.3
        million unfavourable impact on operating items of exchange rate
        variances;

    --  $6.7 million increase in amortization charge.

--  Partially offset by:

    --  $38.3 million increase in operating income;

    --  favourable variance in 2010 related to recognition in second
        quarter 2009 of a $13.6 million non-cash charge for impairment of
        goodwill and intangible assets.

--  Adjusted income from continuing operations: $68.5 million in the
    second quarter of 2010 ($1.06 per basic share), compared with $56.3
    million ($0.88 per basic share) in the same period of 2009, an
    increase of $12.2 million ($0.18 per basic share) or 21.7%.


2010/2009 year-to-date comparison


--  Revenues: $1.94 billion, an increase of $92.4 million (5.0%).

    --  Revenues increased in Telecommunications (by $106.5 million or
        11.0% of segment revenues) essentially due to customer growth for
        all services, and in Interactive Technologies and Communications
        ($1.4 million or 3.0%).

    --  Revenues decreased in News Media (by $8.9 million or -1.7%),
        mainly because of lower advertising revenues at the community
        newspapers and lower circulation revenues, and in Leisure and
        Entertainment ($5.0 million or -3.8%).

--  Operating income: $642.7 million, an increase of $54.6 million (9.3%).

    --  Operating income rose in Telecommunications ($59.4 million or
        13.0% of segment operating income), News Media ($14.3 million or
        16.8%) and Interactive Technologies and Communications ($0.6
        million or 35.3%).

    --  Revenues decreased in Broadcasting (by $4.5 million or -12.0%) and
        Leisure and Entertainment ($1.5 million or -26.8%).

--  Changes in the fair value of Quebecor Media and in Quebecor's stock
    price resulted in an aggregate $19.2 million ($0.17 per basic share)
    unfavourable variance in the stock-based compensation charge in the
    first half of 2010 compared with the same period of 2009.

--  Net income: $103.8 million ($1.62 per basic share), compared with
    $134.5 million ($2.09 per basic share) in the first half of 2009.

    --  The $30.7 million ($0.47 per basic share) decrease was mainly due
        to:

    --  $35.5 million unfavourable variance in gains on valuation and
        translation of financial instruments;

    --  $26.1 million increase in income tax expense, resulting mainly
        from unusual items;

    --  $18.9 million increase in financial expenses, including the $14.1
        million unfavourable impact on operating items of exchange rate
        variances;

    --  recognition in first half of 2010 of losses on debt refinancing
        totalling $12.3 million;

    --  $11.1 million increase in amortization charge.

--  Offset by:

    --  $54.6 million increase in operating income;

    --  favourable variance related to recognition in first half 2009 of a
        $13.6 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill and
        intangible assets.

--  Adjusted income from continuing operations: $115.3 million in the
    first half of 2010 ($1.79 per basic share), compared with $99.4
    million ($1.55 per basic share) in the same period of 2009, an
    increase of $15.9 million ($0.24 per basic share) or 16.0%.


Financing activities


--  In May 2010, Osprey Media Publishing Inc. ("Osprey Media") paid down the
    balance of its term credit facility and settled related hedge agreements
    for a total cash consideration of $116.3 million. This transaction led
    to the reclassification to income of a $1.9 million loss (excluding
    income tax and non-controlling interest) previously recorded under other
    comprehensive income. Osprey Media's credit facilities were cancelled on
    June 30, 2010.

DEFINITIONS

Operating income

In its analysis of operating results, the Company defines operating income, as reconciled to net income under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), as net income before amortization, financial expenses, (loss) gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations, impairment of assets and other special items, loss on debt refinancing, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, income tax and non-controlling interest. Operating income as defined above is not a measure of results that is consistent with Canadian GAAP. It is not intended to be regarded as an alternative to other financial operating performance measures or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Management believes that operating income is a meaningful measure of performance. The Company uses operating income in order to assess the performance of its investment in Quebecor Media. The Company's management and Board of Directors use this measure in evaluating its consolidated results as well as the results of the Company's operating segments. This measure eliminates the significant level of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets and is unaffected by the capital structure or investment activities of the Company and its segments. Operating income is also relevant because it is a significant component of the Company's annual incentive compensation programs. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company's segments. The Company also uses other measures that do reflect such costs, such as cash flows from segment operations and free cash flows from operations. In addition, measures like operating income are commonly used by the investment community to analyze and compare the performance of companies in the industries in which the Company is engaged. The Company's definition of operating income may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 2 below reconciles Quebecor's operating income with the closest Canadian GAAP measure.

Adjusted income from continuing operations

The Company defines adjusted income from continuing operations, as reconciled to net income under Canadian GAAP, as net income before (loss) gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations, impairment of assets and other special items, loss on debt refinancing and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, net of income tax and non-controlling interest. Adjusted income from continuing operations as defined above is not a measure of results that is consistent with Canadian GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Management believes that adjusted income from continuing operations is a meaningful measure that provides an indication of the long-term profitability of the Company's operating activities by eliminating the impact of unusual or one-time items. The Company's definition of adjusted income from continuing operations may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 3 provides a reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operations to the net income measure used in the consolidated financial statements of Quebecor.

Average Monthly Revenue per User

ARPU is an industry metric that the Company uses to measure its monthly cable television, Internet access, cable telephone and wireless telephone revenues per average basic cable customer. ARPU is not a measurement that is consistent with Canadian GAAP and the Company's definition and calculation of ARPU may not be the same as identically titled measurements reported by other companies. The Company calculates ARPU by dividing its combined cable television, Internet access, cable telephone and wireless telephone revenues by the average number of basic customers during the applicable period, and then dividing the resulting amount by the number of months in the applicable period.
