VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 2, 2024 /CNW/ - TELUS Corporation today released its unaudited results for the second quarter of 2024. Consolidated operating revenues and other income increased by 0.6 per cent over the same period a year ago to $5.0 billion. This growth was driven by higher service revenue in our TELUS technology solutions (TTech) segment offset by lower service revenue in our TELUS digital experience segment (TELUS Digital), formerly known as Digitally-led customer experiences – TELUS International. Within TTech, higher revenue from mobile network, residential internet and security services, driven largely by subscriber growth, higher organic growth across multiple lines of business in health services and higher agriculture and consumer goods service revenues related to business acquisitions and improving organic growth across certain lines of business in agriculture services was partially offset by declines in TV and fixed legacy voice services revenues due to technological substitution. The decline in TELUS Digital operating revenues were from lower external revenues reflecting macroeconomic conditions.
