Quarterly Financial Highlights
Revenue
Total revenue increased by 2% and total service revenue increased by 1% this quarter, primarily as a result of revenue growth in Media.
Wireless service revenue decreased by 1% this quarter primarily as a result of the decline in mobile phone ARPU due to the cumulative impact of competitive intensity and lower fee revenue as a result of the
Cable service revenue this quarter was in line with the prior year as the impact of retail Internet subscriber growth and base management activities was offset by declines in our Home Phone and Video subscriber bases. Our customer-facing data centre business, which we sold in late 2025, reflected approximately 1% of Cable service revenue in the prior year.
Media revenue increased by 9% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher sports revenue and subscriber revenue from the Warner Bros. Discovery suite of channels, partially offset by lower advertising revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and margins
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 1% this quarter, driven by EBITDA growth across all our businesses, and our adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 40 basis points.
Wireless adjusted EBITDA increased by 1%, primarily as a result of higher equipment margins. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 68%, up 130 basis points.
Cable adjusted EBITDA increased by 1% as a result of various efficiency initiatives. This gave rise to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 59%, up 40 basis points. Our customer-facing data centre business, which we sold in late 2025, reflected approximately 0.5% of Cable adjusted EBITDA in the prior year.
Media adjusted EBITDA increased by 12%, primarily due to the flow-through impact of the aforementioned revenue impacts and associated costs.
Net income and adjusted net income
Adjusted net income decreased by 3% this quarter, primarily as a result of higher finance costs, partially offset by higher adjusted EBITDA. Net income decreased by
