Forward-Looking
Statements
This news release contains forward-looking information within the
meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and forward-looking statements within the meaning of United States federal securities legislation (collectively, forward-looking statements). All statements other than
statements of historical facts included in this press release, including statements regarding our industry and our prospects, plans, financial position and business strategy, may
constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which we operate as well as
beliefs and assumptions made by our management. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, prospects, financial position and business strategies. Words such as may, will, expect,
continue, intend, estimate, anticipate, plan, foresee, believe or seek or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees
of future performance. Such statements are also subject to assumptions concerning, among other things: our anticipated business strategies; anticipated trends in our business; anticipated reorganizations of any of our segments or businesses, and any
related restructuring provisions or impairment charges; and our ability to continue to control costs. We can give no assurance that these estimates and expectations will prove to have been correct. Actual outcomes and results may, and often do,
differ from what is expressed, implied or projected in such forward-looking statements, and such differences may be material. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully continue developing our network and facilities-based mobile services; general economic, financial or market conditions and variations in our Telecommunications, Media and Sports
and Entertainment businesses; the intensity of competitive activity in the industries in which we operate; fragmentation of the media landscape; new technologies that might change consumer behaviour towards our product suite; unanticipated higher
capital spending required to deploy our network or to address the continued development of competitive alternative technologies, or the inability to obtain additional capital to continue the development of our business; our ability to implement
successfully our business and operating strategies and manage our growth and expansion; disruptions to the network through which we provide our digital television, Internet access, telephony and over-the-top video services, and our ability to
protect such services from piracy, unauthorized access or other security breaches; labour disputes or strikes; changes in our ability to obtain services and equipment critical to our operations; changes in laws and regulations, or in their
interpretations, which could result, among other things, in the loss (or reduction in value) of our licenses or markets or in an increase in competition, compliance costs or capital expenditures; our ability to successfully develop our Sports and
Entertainment segment and other expanding lines of business in our other segments; our substantial indebtedness, the tightening of credit markets, and the restrictions on our business imposed by the terms of our debt; and interest rate fluctuations
that affect a portion of our interest payment requirements on long-term debt. We caution you that the above list of cautionary statements is not exhaustive. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our
expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this press release, and you are encouraged to read Item 3. Key Information Risk Factors as well as statements located elsewhere in Quebecor Medias annual
report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further details and descriptions of these and other factors. Each of these forward-looking statements speaks only as of the date of this press release. We will not update these
statements unless applicable securities laws require us to do so.
