Analysis of third quarter 2009 results
- Quebecor's revenues increased $10.3 million (1.1%) to $918.4 million.
- Revenues increased in the following segments: Telecommunications (by
$50.8 million or 11.2% of segment revenues) mainly because of customer
growth for all services, and in Leisure and Entertainment ($4.8 million
or 6.4%).
- Revenues decreased in News Media ($41.6 million or -14.7%) due
essentially to lower advertising revenues, Broadcasting ($3.1 million
or -3.4%) and Interactive Technologies and Communications ($0.4 million
or -1.9%).
- Operating income increased $23.6 million (8.5%) to $301.0 million, due
primarily to an increase in the Telecommunications segment ($34.7 million
or 17.3% of segment operating income). Operating income rose $3.2 million
(36.8%) in the Leisure and Entertainment segment and decreased $7.7
million (-14.6%) in News Media.
- Quebecor's net income totalled $69.4 million ($1.08 per basic share),
compared with $45.7 million ($0.71 per basic share) in the same period of
2008, an increase of $23.7 million ($0.37 per basic share) or 51.9%.
- The increase was mainly due to:
- $26.7 million favourable variance in gain on valuation and translation
of financial instruments resulting primarily from the fluctuation in
the fair value of early settlement options;
- $23.6 million increase in operating income;
- $8.1 million decrease in financial expenses.
Partially offset by:
- $21.7 million increase in non-controlling interest;
- $9.7 million increase in amortization charge;
- $3.0 million increase in income tax expense.
- Adjusted income from continuing operating activities: $52.9 million in
the third quarter of 2009 ($0.82 per basic share), compared with $42.5
million ($0.66 per basic share) in the same period of 2008, an increase
of $10.4 million ($0.16 per basic share) or 24.5%.
Analysis of year-to-date operating results
- Quebecor's revenues totalled $2.75 billion, an increase of $26.5 million
(1.0%).
- Revenues increased in the following segments: Telecommunications (by
$137.6 million or 10.3% of segment revenues), Leisure and Entertainment
($10.8 million or 5.4%), Interactive Technologies and Communications
($1.9 million or 2.9%) and Broadcasting ($0.7 million or 0.2%).
- Revenues decreased in News Media (by $123.7 million or -14.1%).
- Operating income increased $78.1 million (9.6%) to $889.1 million, due
primarily to an increase in the Telecommunications segment ($112.2
million or 19.4% of segment operating income). Operating income decreased
in News Media (by $42.1 million or -24.4%).
The increase in operating income includes an $18.0 million favourable
variance (including $13.9 million in the Telecommunications segment and
$4.1 million in the Broadcasting segment) related to recognition during
the first nine months of 2008 of a retroactive provision for Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") Part II
licence fees ("Part II fees").
- Quebecor's net income was $203.9 million ($3.17 per basic share),
compared with $531.6 million ($8.27 per basic share) in the same period
of 2008.
- Favourable variances in the following items:
- $78.1 million increase in operating income;
- $38.2 million decrease in financial expenses;
- $15.4 million decrease in income tax expense;
- $13.7 million favourable variance in gain on valuation and translation
of financial instruments;
were outweighed by:
- recognition in first quarter of 2008 of income from discontinued
operations in the amount of $383.3 million, compared with $1.6 million
in the third quarter of 2009;
- $51.2 million increase in non-controlling interest;
- $22.8 million increase in amortization charge;
- recognition of a $13.6 million non-cash impairment charge for goodwill
and intangible assets during the first nine months of 2009.
- Adjusted income from continuing operating activities: $152.3 million for
the first nine months of 2009 ($2.37 per basic share), compared with
$118.6 million ($1.85 per basic share) in the same period of 2008, an
increase of $33.7 million ($0.52 per basic share) or 28.4%.
Event after end of third quarter 2009
With respect to the Part II fees payable to the CRTC, Videotron and TVA
Group Inc. ("TVA Group") agreed on an out-of-court settlement on October
7, 2009 whereby they withdrew their legal challenge and monetary claims,
and the government agreed not to claim the unpaid Part II fees for the
period of September 1, 2006 through August 31, 2009. In view of this
settlement, Quebecor will reverse in the fourth quarter of 2009
provisions totalling $42.8 million for unpaid Part II fees as of August
31, 2009. Under the out-of-court settlement, the government also
undertook to recommend that the CRTC amend its regulations to limit the
amount of the Part II fees for periods subsequent to August 31, 2009. To
date, however, the current regulatory rate remains applicable to Quebecor
and will continue to apply until such time as it is amended by the CRTC.
Dividends
On November 4, 2009, the Board of Directors of Quebecor declared a
quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on Class A Multiple Voting Shares
and Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, payable on December 15, 2009 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2009.
This dividend is designated to be an eligible dividend, as provided under
subsection 89(14) of the Canadian Income Tax Act and its provincial
counterpart.

DEFINITIONS
Operating income
In its analysis of operating results, Quebecor defines operating income
or loss, as reconciled to net income under Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"), as net income before
amortization, financial expenses, gain on valuation and translation of
financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations and other
special items, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, income tax,
non-controlling interest and the results of discontinued operations.
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. Quebecor uses
operating income in order to assess the performance of its investment in
Quebecor Media. Quebecor's management and Board of Directors use this
measure in evaluating its consolidated results as well as the results of
Quebecor'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
Quebecor and its segments. Operating income is also relevant because it
is a significant component of Quebecor'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 Quebecor's segments. Quebecor 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
such as operating income are commonly used by the investment community to
analyze and compare the performance of companies in the industries in
which Quebecor is engaged. Quebecor's definition of operating income may
not be identical to 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 operating activities
Quebecor defines adjusted income from continuing operating activities, as
reconciled to net income under Canadian GAAP, as net income before gain
on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for
restructuring of operations and other special items, impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets, and the results of discontinued
operations, net of income tax and non-controlling interest. Adjusted
income from continuing operating activities 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 operating activities is a meaningful
measure that provides an indication of the long-term profitability of
Quebecor's operating activities by eliminating the impact of unusual or
one-time items. Quebecor'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 income
measure used in the consolidated financial statements of Quebecor.

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