Quebecor demonstrated strong financial performance with significant cash flow and EBITDA growth, supported by impressive wireless subscriber gains and improved customer satisfaction. However, regulatory challenges and competitive pricing pressures present ongoing risks, particularly in the wireline and media segments.Company Guidance
During the Quebecor Inc. conference call discussing the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, several key metrics were highlighted. Quebecor reported a 17% increase in cash flow for Q4 and an 18% increase for the entire year. EBITDA grew by 4% in Q4 and 6% for the year, demonstrating strong profitability. The leverage ratio decreased to 3.31x, marking the lowest among the top four telecom operators in Canada. The company also achieved significant growth in wireless subscribers, ending the year with 373,000 net new lines, a 10% increase year-over-year, bringing the total to over 4.1 million subscribers. Despite these achievements, the average revenue per user (ARPU) decreased by $1.93 to $34.36 in Q4, mainly due to the dilutive impact of Freedom Mobile's prepaid services and aggressive pricing strategies from competitors. The company also announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.35 per share, reflecting an 8% rise. Quebecor's disciplined capital allocation strategy allowed it to reduce its debt, maintain a solid balance sheet, and continue investing in network expansions and customer service improvements.Record Cash Flow and EBITDA Growth
