"All of our segments posted higher revenues in the first quarter of 2016," noted Pierre Dion, President and CEO of Quebecor. "The significant growth in our business volume was driven by the success of Videotron's service offerings, the diversification of the Media segment's revenue streams and development of the concert management and production business. Quebecor's adjusted operating income increased by $15.5 million (4.6%), propelled once again by the excellent performance of the Telecommunications segment. We are confident that the opportunities created by the long-term evolution of the wireless industry will enable us to maintain sustained growth in our mobile telephony services."
"Videotron's high-growth-potential products and services, particularly mobile telephony, Internet access, business solutions and Club illico, contributed to its higher numbers again," commented Manon Brouillette, President and CEO of Videotron. "Videotron increased its revenue‑generating units by 158,100 (2.9%) during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2016, including an increase of 133,600 (20.2%) connections to the mobile telephony service. The net increase of 27,100 connections in the first quarter of 2016 was more than that of any of the incumbent operators in Canada. The mobile telephony service's ARPU was $49.66 in the first quarter of 2016, a 7.9% year-over-year increase. Finally, our Business Solutions segment continued making a positive contribution to our results with a 24.1% increase in revenues over the past 12 months and the uptrend is expected to hold as we continue implementing our development plan for Fibrenoire inc. and 4Degrees Colocation Inc.
"In addition to being ranked the most respected telecommunications company in Québec for the 11th consecutive year, Videotron became the most influential Québec-based brand in Québec across all industries according to the latest Ipsos-Infopresse survey. This is telling evidence of the important role we play in our customers' daily lives, a result of our unflagging efforts to offer all our customers the best possible experience and state-of-the-art technology. We are enormously proud of these high distinctions, which we owe to our employees.
"We continue developing our Club illico service. At the beginning of April 2016, NBCUniversal Television & New Media Distribution Canada and Quebecor Content signed an agreement which will give Club illico members access to some of the most popular new releases from one of the world's largest content producers and distributors. As of the end of the first quarter of 2016, Club illico had 265,200 members, a 12‑month increase of 78,400 (42.0%)," concluded Manon Brouillette.
"In our Media segment, revenues from the film production and audiovisual services of Mels Studios and Postproduction G.P. rose 52%, generating a $2.1 million improvement in adjusted operating income," observed Julie Tremblay, President and CEO of Media Group. "Our broadcasting operations were also highly successful. For example, in season 4 of La Voix, the weekly gala drew an average audience of 2.6 million viewers according to Numeris and an average market share of 58%. Traffic on the lavoix.ca site increased considerably and the number of viewings grew by 54%. The show logged 1.8 million downloads on illico Digital TV. All these numbers confirm the effectiveness of Quebecor Media's cross-platform convergence strategy.
"According to Vividata survey data for the full year of 2015, Le Journal de Montréal, Le Journal de Québec and the free daily 24 heures remain Québec's news leaders with more than 4.0 million readers per week across all platforms," continued Julie Tremblay. "TVA Group Inc. strengthened its leading position in the Canadian magazine industry with 9.0 million readers per issue on all platforms for all of its magazines combined. In April 2016, we released the Molto app, a digital newsstand which lets users read all our magazines on their tablet or smartphone. Our Goji talent collective, launched in September 2015 to provide a springboard for the best YouTube content creators and support their brand development efforts, attracted attention when Noémie Lacerte won the Numix award for YouTuber of the Year on May 6, 2016."
In the Sports and Entertainment segment, Event Management Gestev Inc. ("Gestev") announced the creation of Gestev Spectacles, which leverages Gestev's 25 years of experience in event organization and powerful brand to establish itself as a major player in showbiz and entertainment. All shows and events produced by Quebecor will now bear the Gestev logo. After only eight months of operation, more than a million guests have already attended sporting events and performances at the Videotron Centre.
As announced in the first quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors of Quebecor will henceforth review its dividend payment policy annually. In view of the Corporation's financial profile, which remains healthy, and its capacity to generate cash flows, the Board has approved another increase in the quarterly dividend on Class A and Class B shares, from $0.035 to $0.045. "We remain very upbeat about the Corporation's ability to generate growing cash flows," stated Jean-François Pruneau, Senior Vice President and CFO of Quebecor. "Thanks to sound balance sheet management, we are in a position to increase distributions to our shareholders."
"Quebecor recorded solid consolidated financial results again in the first quarter of 2016," Pierre Dion concluded. "The Corporation remains well positioned to achieve its profitability, business development and shareholder value-maximization objectives."

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.
Discontinued operations
On September 27, 2015, Quebecor Media closed the sale of Archambault Group Inc.'s retail business, including the 14 Archambault stores, the archambault.ca portal and the English-language Paragraphe Bookstore, to Groupe Renaud‑Bray inc. for a cash consideration of $14.5 million, less disposed-of cash in the amount of $1.1 million, and a $3.0 million balance received in the first quarter of 2016. On April 13, 2015, Quebecor Media closed the sale of its English-language newspaper businesses in Canada – more than 170 newspapers and publications, the Canoe portal in English Canada, and 8 printing plants, including the Islington, Ontario plant – for a total cash consideration of $305.5 million, less disposed-of cash in the amount of $1.9 million. A $1.3 million working capital adjustment was also paid. On February 13, 2015, Quebecor Media announced the discontinuation of the operations of the English language news and opinion specialty channel SUN News. The operating results and cash flows related to all of those businesses have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income and cash flows.
2016/2015 first quarter comparison
Revenues: $975.4 million, a $46.4 million (5.0%) increase.
- Revenues increased in Telecommunications ($38.2 million or 5.2% of segment revenues), Media ($6.0 million or 2.8%) and Sports and Entertainment ($5.5 million or 114.6%).
Adjusted operating income: $354.7 million, a $15.5 million (4.6%) increase.
- Adjusted operating income increased in Telecommunications ($15.1 million or 4.4% of segment adjusted operating income) and there was a favourable variance in the Media segment ($3.4 million or 55.7%).
- Unfavourable variance in Sports and Entertainment ($0.9 million) and at Head Office ($2.1 million). The change at Head Office was due primarily to the unfavourable variance in the stock-based compensation charge.
- The change in the fair value of Quebecor Media stock options resulted in a $1.2 million unfavourable variance in the stock‑based compensation charge in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the same period of 2015. The change in the fair value of Quebecor stock options resulted in a $1.0 million unfavourable variance in the Corporation's stock‑based compensation charge in the first quarter of 2016.
Net income attributable to shareholders: $69.9 million ($0.57 per basic share) in the first quarter of 2016, compared with $29.4 million ($0.24 per basic share) in the same period of 2015, an increase of $40.5 million ($0.33 per basic share).
- The favourable variance was essentially due to:
- $19.8 million decrease in the depreciation and amortization charge;
- $15.5 million increase in adjusted operating income;
- $11.7 million favourable variance in gains and losses on valuation and translation of financial instruments, including a $15.4 million gain without any tax consequences;
- $7.0 million decrease in financial expenses;
- $4.3 million favourable variance in the loss related to discontinued operations.
Partially offset by: - $6.8 million unfavourable variance in non-controlling interest;
- $3.5 million increase in the charge for restructuring of operations and other items;
- $1.7 million unfavourable variance related to a gain on debt refinancing recorded in first quarter of 2015.
Adjusted income from continuing operating activities: $67.7 million ($0.55 per basic share) in the first quarter of 2016, compared with $41.4 million ($0.34 per basic share) in the same period of 2015, an increase of $26.3 million ($0.21 per basic share).
Dividend
On May 11, 2016, the Board of Directors of Quebecor declared a quarterly dividend of $0.045 per share on its Class A Shares and Class B Shares, payable on June 21, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 27, 2016. This dividend is designated an eligible dividend, as provided under subsection 89(14) of the Canadian Income Tax Act and its provincial counterpart.
Normal course issuer bid
On July 29, 2015, the Board of Directors of Quebecor authorized the renewal of its normal course issuer bid for a maximum of 500,000 Class A Shares representing approximately 1.3% of issued and outstanding Class A Shares, and for a maximum of 2,000,000 Class B Shares representing approximately 2.4% of issued and outstanding Class B Shares as of July 29, 2015. The purchases can be made from August 13, 2015 to August 12, 2016, at prevailing market prices, on the open market through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and will be made in accordance with the requirements of that Exchange. All shares purchased under the bid will be cancelled.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Corporation purchased and cancelled 39,600 Class B shares for a total cash consideration of $1.3 million. The $1.2 million excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the repurchased Class B Shares was recorded in reduction of retained earnings.

DEFINITIONS
Adjusted operating income
In its analysis of operating results, the Corporation defines adjusted operating income, as reconciled to net income under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as net income before depreciation and amortization, financial expenses, gain (loss) on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations and other items, gain on debt refinancing, income tax, and the loss on 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 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 income attributable to shareholders under IFRS, as net income attributable to shareholders before gain (loss) on valuation and translation of financial instruments, charge for restructuring of operations and other items, gain on debt refinancing, net of income tax related to adjustments and net income attributable to non-controlling interest related to adjustments, and before the loss on 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 operations to the net 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 from its cable television, Internet access, cable and mobile telephony services and Club illico per average basic customer. 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 its 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.
