“Quebecor’s revenues were up $23.8 million (2.4%) in the third quarter of 2016, reflecting a strong performance by its Telecommunications segment, which grew its revenues by 5.2%,” commented Pierre Dion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quebecor. “Once again, Videotron’s rising numbers were driven by products and services with strong growth prospects. Consumer response to Videotron’s offerings continues to be very positive. For example, its mobile telephony service posted a net increase of 38,800 subscriber connections, bringing the total to 867,700 as of September 30, 2016. Videotron now ranks among the mobility leaders in Québec. Videotron’s cable Internet service added 24,400 customers during the quarter. In Quebecor’s consolidated results, the $9.2 million (12.4%) increase in adjusted income from continuing operating activities is noteworthy.”

“During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2016, our mobile telephony service added 125,200 subscriber connections, a 16.9% increase,” noted Manon Brouillette, President and Chief Executive Officer of Videotron. “Those gains were accompanied by a significant increase in the mobile service’s ARPU, which was $52.61 in the third quarter of 2016, a 7.2% year-over-year increase. Development of our Internet access and business solutions services continued to make a positive contribution to our results. In this regard, on July 13, 2016, we launched our Giga Fibre Hybrid service, which delivers speeds of up to 940 Mbps to residential and business customers and maintains our leadership in very high speed Internet access. On September 13, 2016, we also opened the 4Degrees Colocation Inc. data centre in Montréal, which is equipped with one of the largest server rooms in Québec and is purpose-designed to meet our business customers’ hosting needs.

“On September 20, 2016, Videotron announced a partnership with Ericsson Canada Inc., École de technologie supérieure and Quartier de l’innovation de Montréal to create the first open-air smart living laboratory in Canada. It will serve to test all aspects of new, fifth-generation telecommunications technologies. We are very proud that we were able to bring these eminent partners together in the common purpose of building an innovation ecosystem in Montréal. For Videotron, this lab will be an additional tool for identifying applications and services that can make life easier for consumers and create value for businesses,” concluded Manon Brouillette.

“In a changing industry environment, Quebecor’s Media segment announced on November 2, 2016 an organizational transformation designed to balance its cost structure and enhance operational efficiencies, which will enable it to maintain its lead in news and content production and continue promoting its flagship brands,” said Julie Tremblay, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quebecor Media Group. “Those initiatives will entail the elimination of 220 positions, or nearly 8% of our workforce.

“The industry has been disrupted in Québec as in the rest of the world, and we have therefore made a number of transformational moves in order to adapt to the changes. The downtrend in advertising revenues impacted the Media segment’s operating profits again in the third quarter of 2016. However, our broadcasting business was boosted by an increase in the advertising revenues of the TVA Sports specialty service, mainly because of coverage of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey tournament.

“In keeping with its commitment to innovation, on October 24, 2016 the Media segment launched the new TVA.CA website and the TVA mobile app, which give users free access to TVA programs in high definition, live or on demand,” added Julie Tremblay. “The initiatives were part of TVA Group’s strategy to expand its presence in new media and webcasting in order to meet consumers’ needs and offer advertisers a new vehicle.”

In the Sports and Entertainment segment, the Videotron Centre marked its first anniversary on September 12, 2016. During its first year of operation, the facility hosted 93 sporting events and concerts, as well as 30 corporate events. In all, more than 1.1 million people passed through the turnstiles.

“In the first nine months of 2016, Quebecor continued implementation of its business plan, focused on areas with strong growth potential. The Corporation remains well positioned to achieve its profitability, business development and shareholder value-maximization objectives,” Pierre Dion concluded.

New segment structure

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Corporation changed its organizational structure and transferred its music distribution and production operations from the Sports and Entertainment segment to the Media segment. Accordingly, prior-period figures in the Corporation’s segmented reporting have been reclassified to reflect those changes.

2016/2015 third quarter comparison

Revenues: $998.3 million, a $23.8 million (2.4%) increase.

 

•

Revenues increased in Telecommunications ($39.5 million or 5.2% of segment revenues) and in Sports and Entertainment ($1.6 million or 25.8%).

•

Adjusted operating income increased in Telecommunications ($12.5 million or 3.6%). There was a favourable variance in Sports and Entertainment ($3.5 million).

 

•

The change in the fair value of Quebecor Media stock options resulted in a $1.9 million unfavourable variance in the stock-based compensation charge in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the same period of 2015. The change in the fair value of Quebecor stock options and of Quebecor stock-price-based share units resulted in an $8.8 million unfavourable variance in the Corporation’s stock-based compensation charge in the third quarter of 2016.

Net loss attributable to shareholders: $8.3 million ($0.07 per basic share) in the third quarter of 2016, compared with net income attributable to shareholders in the amount of $85.1 million ($0.69 per basic share) in the same period of 2015, an unfavourable variance of $93.4 million ($0.76 per basic share).

The unfavourable variance was mainly due to:

 

•

$136.2 million unfavourable variance in the charge for restructuring of operations, gain on litigation and other items;

DEFINITIONS

Adjusted operating income

In its analysis of operating results, the Corporation defines adjusted operating income, as reconciled to net (loss) income under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, financial expenses, (loss) gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations, gain on litigation and other items, charge for impairment of goodwill and other assets, loss on debt refinancing, income taxes, and loss from discontinued operations. Adjusted operating income as defined above is not a measure of results that is consistent with IFRS. 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 IFRS. The Corporation uses adjusted operating income in order to assess the performance of its investment in Quebecor Media. The Corporation’s management and Board of Directors use this measure in evaluating its consolidated results as well as the results of the Corporation’s operating segments. This measure eliminates the significant level of impairment and depreciation/amortization of tangible and intangible assets and is unaffected by the capital structure or investment activities of the Corporation and its business segments.

Adjusted operating income is also relevant because it is a significant component of the Corporation’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 Corporation’s segments. The Corporation also uses other measures that do reflect such costs, such as cash flows from segment operations and free cash flows from continuing operating activities of the Quebecor Media subsidiary. The Corporation’s definition of adjusted operating income may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 2 below provides a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to net (loss) income as disclosed in Quebecor’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted income from continuing operating activities

The Corporation defines adjusted income from continuing operating activities, as reconciled to net (loss) income attributable to shareholders under IFRS, as net (loss) income attributable to shareholders before (loss) gain on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations, gain on litigation and other items, charge for impairment of goodwill and other assets, loss on debt refinancing, net of income tax related to adjustments and of net income attributable to non-controlling interest related to adjustments, and before the loss from discontinued operations attributable to shareholders. Adjusted income from continuing operating activities, as defined above, is not a measure of results that is consistent with IFRS. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Corporation uses adjusted income from continuing operating activities to analyze trends in the performance of its businesses. The above-listed items are excluded from the calculation of this measure because they impair the comparability of the financial results. Adjusted income from continuing operating activities is more representative for the purpose of forecasting income. The Corporation’s definition of adjusted income from continuing operating activities may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Table 3 provides a reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operating activities to the net (loss) income attributable to shareholders measure used in Quebecor’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

The Corporation uses ARPU, an industry metric, as a key performance indicator. This indicator is used to measure monthly revenues per average basic customer from its cable television, Internet access, cable and mobile telephony services and Club illico. ARPU is not a measurement that is consistent with IFRS and the Corporation’s definition and calculation of ARPU may not be the same as identically titled measurements reported by other companies. The Corporation calculates ARPU by dividing the combined revenues from its cable television, Internet access, cable and mobile telephony services and Club illico 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.
