segment information

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with the other component(s)), the operations of which can be clearly distinguished and for which the operating results are regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision-maker to make resource allocation decisions and to assess performance.

The TELUS technology solutions segment includes: network revenues and equipment sales arising from mobile technologies; data revenues (which include internet protocol; television; hosting, managed information technology and cloud-based services; and home and business security and automation); agriculture and consumer goods services (software, data management and data analytics-driven smart-food chain and consumer goods technologies); voice and other telecommunications services revenues; and equipment sales.

The TELUS health segment includes: healthcare services, software and technology solutions (including employee and family assistance programs and benefits administration).

The TELUS digital experience segment, which has the U.S. dollar as its primary functional currency, includes key service lines: digital solutions; artificial intelligence and data solutions; trust and safety; and customer experience management. Subsequent to TELUS Corporation’s acquisition of the TELUS International (Cda) Inc. non-controlling interests in fiscal 2025, our internal and external reporting processes, systems and internal controls were transitioned to match the post-privatization operational realignment; commencing with the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, our segmented reporting structure was correspondingly transitioned and comparative amounts have been restated on a comparable basis.

Intersegment sales are recorded at the exchange value, which is the amount agreed to by the parties.

The segment information regularly reported to our Chief Executive Officer (our chief operating decision-maker), and the reconciliation thereof to our products and services view of revenues, other revenues and income before income taxes, are set out in the following table.

As required by IFRS Accounting Standards, comparative amounts have been restated to conform with the reportable segments presented in the current period.

1Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), both unadjusted and adjusted, are not standardized financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers; we define EBITDA as operating revenues and other income less goods and services purchased and employee benefits expense. We calculate adjusted EBITDA to exclude items that do not reflect our ongoing operations and, in our opinion, should not be considered in a long-term valuation metric or included in an assessment of our ability to service or incur debt. We report EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures because they are key measures that management uses to evaluate the performance of our business, and EBITDA is also utilized in determining compliance with certain debt covenants.
2See Note 31(a) for a reconciliation of capital asset additions, excluding spectrum licences, to cash payments for capital assets, excluding spectrum licences, reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026,TELUS technology solutions capital expenditures include real estate development amounts of $19 (2025 – $21) and $35 (2025 – $29), respectively. Real estate development capital expenditures are not a standardized financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers; we define real estate capital expenditures as including amounts for both investment properties and certain owner-occupied properties.
