These are not measurements in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to any other measure of performance under IFRS. Please see additional discussion and reconciliations under the Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of the Company's Fourth Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders.

Operational Highlights Corus launched a strong schedule across Global and its specialty networks for Fall 2025. Total hours streamed across streaming platforms (STACKTV and the Global TV App) increased this Fall. In addition, Corus continued to implement cost savings initiatives. Global's fall 2025 programming slate features three new series and more top 20 returning hits than any other network. (1) Global TV's fall lineup includes the return of #1 reality series, Survivor, #1 late night show Saturday Night Live , #1 Comedy Ghosts, top 5 hit 9-1-1 (2) , three series from the NCIS franchise and more. New series debuts include Blake Shelton and Keith Urban's singing competition series The Road, ensemble workplace comedy DMV, and Fire Country universe expansion Sheriff Country. Corus introduces strong fall 2025 lineup of Canadian originals on its Specialty networks. On Flavour Network, new series Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop, produced in association with Corus Studios, join the list of culinary competition shows alongside Season 12 of Top Chef Canada. The HISTORY ® Channel welcomes Season 12 of Ice Road Truckers , produced for The HISTORY ® Channel and Corus Entertainment, and Season 3 of Deadman's Curse distributed by Corus Studios.

Financial Highlights Free cash flow (1) of a negative $25.2 million in Q4 and negative $21.8 million for the year compared to a positive $39.1 million and $114.2 million , respectively, in the same comparable prior year periods. The decrease in free cash flow (1) for the fourth quarter and year end is mainly attributable to lower cash provided by operating activities. The decrease for the year is mainly attributable to lower cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by higher proceeds from sale of property. Net debt to segment profit (1) was 6.01 times as at August 31, 2025 , up from 3.84 times at August 31, 2024 , as a result of the decrease in segment profit. As of August 31, 2025 , the Company had $59.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $35.0 million available to be drawn under its Revolving Facility. On October 29, 2025 , Corus completed an agreement to amend its Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to increase the maximum amount the Company may request as an advance on a "revolving" basis from $75.0 million to $125.0 million . (1) Free cash flow, segment profit and net debt to segment profit do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. The Company reports on these because they are key measures used to evaluate performance. For definitions and explanations, see the discussion under the Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of the Fourth Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders and/or Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended August 31, 2025 ("2025 MD&A").

Risks and Uncertainties Significant risks and uncertainties affecting the Company and its business are discussed under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" and "Seasonal Fluctuations" in the 2025 MD&A, as well as in the accompanying quarterly MD&A included in the Fourth Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties". These discussions are important to understanding the assumptions and factors which may affect the Company's outlook and results and are incorporated by reference. Outlook In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect geopolitical and economic uncertainty and the continued shift in advertising demand to digital platforms will contribute to continued lower demand for linear advertising. As such, the year-over-year percentage decline in Television advertising revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to be similar to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Amortization of TV program rights in the quarter is expected to decrease in the range of 5% to 10% year-over-year. The Company will continue with its implementation of additional cost reduction initiatives and expects general and administrative expenses to decline in the range of 10 to 15% for the first quarter versus the prior year, excluding any potential benefit from the Independent Local News Fund. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes the non-GAAP or non-IFRS financial measures of segment profit (loss), segment profit margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to shareholders, adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share, net debt to segment profit, as well as supplementary financial measures not presented in the financial statements such as new platform revenue. Non-GAAP or non IFRS measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternate to, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP or non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company's reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, IFRS financial results. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP measures is included in the Company's most recent Report to Shareholders for the three months and year ended August 31, 2025 , which is available on Corus' website at www.corusent.com  as well as on SEDAR+ at  www.sedarplus.ca .
