Darren Entwistle, Executive Chair Joe Natale, President and Chief Executive Officer John Gossling, EVP & Chief Financial Officer Q1 2014 investor conference call May 8, 2014 TELUS forward looking statement Today's presentation and answers to questions contain statements about financial and operating performance of TELUS (the Company) and future events, including with respect to future dividend increases and normal course issuer bids to 2016 and 2014 annual targets that are forward-looking. By their nature, forward-looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future performance and events to differ materially from that expressed in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, our comments are subject to the disclaimer and qualified by the assumptions (including assumptions for 2014 annual targets, semi-annual dividend increases through 2016, ability to sustain and complete multi-year share purchase programs through 2016), qualifications and risk factors referred to in the first quarter Management’s discussion and analysis, in the 2013 annual report, and in other TELUS public disclosure documents and filings with securities commissions in Canada (on SEDAR at sedar.com) and in the United States (on EDGAR at sec.gov). Except as required by law, TELUS disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, and reserves the right to change, at any time at its sole discretion, its current practice of updating annual targets and guidance. 2 Executing on our strategy • Delivering strong first quarter results • Returning significant capital to shareholders • Investing for future sustainable growth • Advancing through world class leadership progression TELUS delivering strong results and returning significant cash to shareholders 3 Healthy postpaid net additions Wireless subscribers1 Postpaid net adds (000s) 59 48 1.0M prepaid 13% 7.8M total Q1-13 Q1-14 6.8M postpaid 87% Continued healthy expansion of postpaid subscriber base and mix shift toward higher value postpaid 1 Wireless subscribers excludes Public Mobile prepaid subscribers as at March 31, 2014. 4 Industry-leading wireless churn Blended Postpaid 1.55% 1.48% 1.39% 1.14% Q1-12 Q1-13 Q1-14 1.11% 0.99% Q1-12 Q1-13 Q1-14 North American industry-leading postpaid churn results Lowest Q1 in seven years - third consecutive quarter with postpaid churn < 1% 5 Smartphone & data adoption driving ARPU growth 6.2 6.6 6.8 $58.87 $60.04 $61.24 Q1-13 Q1-14 78% 68% 56% Q1-12 Q1-13 Q1-14 Postpaid subscribers (millions) Q1-12 Blended ARPU Smartphone % of postpaid Q1 smartphone penetration up 10 points to 78% of postpaid base supporting continued strong ARPU growth of 2% 6 Industry-leading lifetime revenue per subscriber1 $3,798 Q1-12 $4,057 Q1-13 $4,406 Q1-14 Customers First focus generating industry-leading lifetime revenue per subscriber 1 Lifetime revenue derived by dividing ARPU by blended churn rate 7 Strong Future Friendly Home subscriber growth High-speed Internet TELUS TV Residential NALs Total wireline customer net adds 59K 53K 50K 21K 48K 16K 44K 13K 19K 34K 34K 31K 34K 38K 27K -34K -32K -33K -25K -24K Q1-13 Q2-13 Q3-13 Q4-13 Q1-14 16K 12K 20K 21K 34K 24K Combined TV and High-Speed net additions continue to exceed residential NAL losses by two times 8 Key first quarter operational highlights • Leading postpaid wireless subscriber growth – 57% share of net adds generated by major national carriers • Lowest postpaid churn in Canada & North America • Industry leading ARPU and fastest growing network revenue • Industry leading lifetime revenue per customer • Most rapidly growing wireline business in Canada • Strong EBITDA performance and revenue growth in both wireless and wireline Supporting value creation for investors and return of significant cash to shareholders 9 Q1 2014 wireless financial results ($ millions, except margin) Q1 2014 y/y change Revenue (external)1 1,555 +5.6% Network revenue 1,443 +5.3% 690 +3.6% 700 +5.1% 44.0% (0.9) pts 45.3% +0.4 pts 165 +23% EBITDA2 EBITDA (excl.
