A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD  
ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC.
ALAN HORN, CPA, CA
2013 was another solid year in which Rogers made clear progress on a number of 
strategic fronts, while continuing to deliver strong returns to shareholders and 
building upon the company’s deep-rooted foundations for the future benefit of all 
our stakeholders. Our management team delivered on their financial guidance 
targets in what continue to be highly competitive and regulatorily intense markets.
Rogers continued to deliver on the evolution 
and expansion of its core services. It quickly 
expanded the reach of Canada’s first and 
fastest LTE wireless network to 73% of the 
Canadian population, introduced significant 
enhancements to its broadband data speeds 
and cable TV platform, and further added  
to its leading sports content and digital 
media assets. 
The company executed several strategic 
transactions that support Rogers core growth 
strategies, including in the areas of wireless 
spectrum and network sharing, cable footprint 
expansion, and significantly expanding its data 
centre, colocation and managed services 
capabilities for businesses. In addition, it struck 
a landmark 12 year agreement with the NHL 
for the exclusive national hockey broadcast 
rights across Canada.
Rogers also continued to deliver on its 
innovation agenda, being first to market 
with a series of new services in 2013, 
including in the quickly growing areas of 
mobile payments, machine-to-machine 
communications, home monitoring, local 
digital services, and a new and unique 
customer loyalty program. 
We continued to return increasing amounts 
of cash to shareholders. In 2013, the  
company’s significant cash generation 
allowed the Board to increase the dividend  
by 10% and return approximately $900 
million to our shareholders in the form of 
dividends and share buybacks. And we 
further increased the dividend by 5% in 
February 2014, continuing a multi-year trend 
of dividend growth. As you read on in this 
report, you will find many more examples and 
much detail of the company’s operational and 
financial accomplishments over the past year.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank 
our recently retired President and Chief 
Executive Officer Nadir Mohamed for his 
leadership and substantial contributions at 
Rogers over the past 13 years. Succeeding  
a founder with professional management  
is always a delicate and important transition  
in the life cycle of a company, and Nadir 
provided important continuity and solid 
leadership as CEO over the course of the  
past five years for which the Board and 
management team are thankful. 
Following an extensive international search 
process, in September, 2013 the Board 
announced that Guy Laurence would become 
President and Chief Executive Officer of 
Rogers effective in December 2013.  
Guy brings 30 years of global experience  
in telecom, pay television and media, and  
is a proven, hands-on executive who has  
consistently delivered strong financial and 
operating results in highly complex and 
competitive markets. Guy is an excellent  
fit for this role on many levels and the entire 
Board look forward to his leadership for 
many years to come.
I would encourage you to review the 
discussions around our corporate governance, 
community investments and sustainability 
initiatives later in this annual report. First class 
corporate governance practices have always 
been a strong tenet at Rogers, and as an 
entrepreneur founded and family controlled 
company, our Board takes pride in what is a 
proactive and disciplined approach to 
ensuring that our governance practices 
continue to justify the confidence of the
