Consolidated Results


Mexico City, October 24, 2019 — Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or “the Company”), today announced results for third-quarter 2019. The results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Last year, during third quarter, Content sales and operating segment income benefited by Ps.1,010.1 million and by Ps.593.3 million, respectively, from the non-recurring licensing of certain broadcast and digital rights of the World Cup in Latin America in 2018 (the “non-recurring licensing revenue”).

The following table sets forth consolidated Net Sales and Operating Segment Income for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, in millions of Mexican pesos excluding the non-recurring licensing revenue:

Cable

Third-quarter sales increased by 14.7% to Ps.10,572.1 million compared with Ps.9,219.9 million in third-quarter 2018 driven by our pricing strategy and the increase in our load factor.

Total revenue generating units reached 12.5 million. Quarterly growth was mainly driven by 18.5 thousand broadband net additions and 149.1 thousand voice net additions. Video RGUs decreased by 42.0 thousand. Total net additions for the quarter were approximately 125.6 thousand.

Third-quarter operating segment income in our MSO operations increased by 16.1%, reaching a margin of 42.9%. Consolidated Sales and Consolidated Operating Segment Income in our Enterprise Operations increased by 5.9% and 2.4%, respectively.

Sky

Third-quarter sales decreased by 1.3% to Ps.5,338.3 million compared with Ps.5,407.3 million in third-quarter 2018. This is mainly explained by a lower number video RGUs given the disconnections that followed Sky’s transmission of the Soccer World Cup in 2018.

During the quarter, Sky continued growing in video RGUs adding 19.0 thousand, and also kept on growing its broadband business after adding 80.6 thousand broadband RGUs. It reached a total of 319.0 thousand broadband RGUs.

Sky ended the quarter with 7.7 million video and broadband RGUs, of which 166,173 were video RGUs in Central America and the Dominican Republic.

Advertising

Third-quarter advertising sales decreased by 5.2% to Ps.4,786.6 million compared with Ps.5,051.2 million in third-quarter 2018. The decline was mostly driven by lower government advertising revenue. Private sector advertising grew 1.3%, including the transmission of the World Cup last year. Excluding the effect of the World Cup, core private sector advertising revenue was up by 5.1%.
Network Subscription

Third-quarter Network Subscription revenues increased by 4.7% to Ps.1,238.9 million compared with Ps.1,182.8 million in third-quarter 2018.
Licensing and Syndication

Third-quarter Licensing and Syndication sales increased by 6.8% to Ps.2,633.5 million from Ps.2,466.0 million in third-quarter 2018. Royalties from Univision increased 2.7%, reaching U.S.$100.2 million dollars in third-quarter 2019 compared to U.S.$97.6 million dollars in third-quarter 2018.
Third-quarter operating segment income, excluding the non-recurring licensing revenue, increased by 0.1% to Ps.3,112.3 million compared with Ps.3,110.7 million in third-quarter 2018. The margin was 35.9%, in line with third-quarter 2018.

Other Businesses

Third-quarter sales increased by 35.3% to Ps.2,633.1 million compared with Ps.1,946.5 million in third-quarter 2018. The increase is mainly explained by non-recurring soccer revenue and by growth in our gaming business, partially compensated by the publishing business.

Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 508.1% to Ps.770.5 million compared with Ps.126.7 million in third-quarter 2018. The increase was mainly explained by the abovementioned non-recurrent soccer revenue and growth in our gaming business, mainly compensated by the publishing business.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense decreased by Ps.59.7 million, or 12.0%, to Ps.436.3 million in third-quarter 2019, from Ps.496.0 million in third-quarter 2018. Corporate expense reflected primarily a share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense in third quarter 2019 and 2018 amounted to Ps.251.8 million and Ps.317.2 million, respectively, and was accounted for as corporate expense. Share-based compensation expense is measured at fair value at the time the equity benefits are conditionally sold to officers and employees and is recognized over the vesting period.

Some of our outstanding awards ("Awards") under Televisa's Long-Term Retention Plan (the "Plan") currently have purchase prices that greatly exceed the current market price of the underlying CPOs or CPO equivalents. In order to provide long-term incentives, align our officers' and employees' interests with those of our stockholders and retain officers and employees, the Board of Directors, with the favorable opinion of the Corporate Practices Committee, which oversees executive compensation, has authorized Televisa to terminate certain Awards, subject to the consent of their respective holders, and to substitute it with an award for half the number of CPOs or CPO equivalents that were terminated, with an initial price to be based on market price on the date hereof, subject to potential upward adjustments. This action could terminate Awards for up to 82 million CPO equivalents in the aggregate. This will represent a non-cash cost for the Company of up to the equivalent of approximately U.S.$30 million dollars in the aggregate over a period of three years.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, decreased by Ps.43.1 million, or 10.0%, to Ps.389.4 million in third-quarter 2019, from Ps.432.5 million in third-quarter 2018. This decrease reflected  primarily a lower non-recurrent severance expense in connection with dismissal of personnel in our Content segment, as well as the absence of a loss on disposition of investments, which was partially offset by an increase in other expense related to legal and financial advisory professional services, as well as a higher loss on disposition of property and equipment.

The finance expense, net, increased by Ps.380.9 million, or 15.3%, to Ps.2,870.2 million in third-quarter 2019 from Ps.2,489.3 million in third-quarter 2018.

This increase reflected

I.
a Ps.946.5 million unfavorable change in foreign exchange gain or loss, net, resulting primarily from a 2.9% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in comparison to a 5.7% appreciation in third-quarter 2018, on a higher average net U.S. dollar liability position in third-quarter 2019; and
II.
a Ps.466.4 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to a higher average principal amount of debt in third-quarter 2019, as well as a Ps.106.8 million interest expense related to lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019, in connection with the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, which became effective on that date.

These unfavorable variances were partially offset by (i) a Ps.146.1 million increase in interest income explained primarily by a higher average amount of Mexican peso cash equivalents in third-quarter 2019, as well as higher interest rates applicable in such quarter; and (ii) a favorable change of Ps.885.9 million in other finance income or expense, net, resulting primarily from a net gain in fair value of our derivative contracts in third-quarter 2019.



Share of Income of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, decreased by Ps.166.7 million, or 51.0%, to Ps.159.9 million in third-quarter 2019 from Ps.326.6 million in third-quarter 2018. This decrease reflected mainly:

I.
the absence of share of income of Ocesa Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. (“OCEN”), a live entertainment company with operations in Mexico, Central America and Colombia, where we maintain a 40% stake, as we classified this investment as held for sale as of July 31, 2019, and discontinued the recognition of share of income of OCEN beginning on August 1, 2019, in connection with an agreement to dispose of this associate, subject to certain customary closing conditions; and

II.
a lower share of income of Univision Holdings, Inc. (“UHI”), the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc.

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, for the third-quarter 2019, includes primarily our share of income of UHI.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by Ps.27.3 million, or 3.9%, to Ps.726.8 million in third-quarter 2019 compared with Ps.699.5 million in third-quarter 2018. This increase reflected primarily a higher effective income tax rate.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Ps.98.2 million, or  19.6%, to Ps.403.4 million in third-quarter 2019, compared with Ps.501.6 million in third-quarter 2018. This decrease reflected primarily a lower portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable and Sky segments.
Capital Expenditures

During third-quarter 2019, we invested approximately U.S.$250.9 million dollars in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. The following table sets forth the breakdown of capital expenditures for third-quarter 2019 and 2018.

On October 3, 2019, we prepaid all of the outstanding Notes due 2020, in the principal amount of Ps.10,000.0 million. Accordingly, we classified this debt as current as of September 30, 2019, net of related finance costs, in the amount of Ps.9,992.4 million.
2 Notes payable issued in 2016 in connection with the acquisition of a non-controlling interest in Televisión Internacional, S.A. de C.V., one of our Cable segment subsidiaries.

In July 2019, we announced that we executed a credit agreement for a five-year term in the principal amount of Ps.10,000 million, which was funded by a syndicate of banks. This loan was primarily used for refinancing of existing indebtedness.

In July 2019, we prepaid all of the outstanding Notes (“Certificados Bursátiles”) due 2021 and 2022, in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.11,000 million. Also, in October 2019, we prepaid all of the outstanding Notes (“Certificados Bursátiles”) due 2020, in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.10,000 million.

As of September 30, 2019, our consolidated net debt position (total debt, lease liabilities and other notes payable less cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, and certain non-current investments in financial instruments) was Ps.94,994.7 million. The aggregate amount of non-current investments in financial instruments included in our consolidated net debt position as of September 30, 2019, amounted to Ps.12,021.6 million.




Share Repurchase Program

In the context of the repurchase program previously approved by the Board of Directors, the Company repurchased, during the third quarter 2019, 8.3 million CPOs, equivalent to approximately Ps.291.7 million.

So far during 2019, the Company has repurchased 39.0 million CPOs for up to Ps.1,385.8 million in the open market. The Company has considered from time to time additional repurchases of its CPOs, and is considering additional repurchases by any available method, including open market purchases, block trades or tender offers pursuant and subject to applicable laws. Any repurchase would result in a reverse dilution for outstanding CPOs, including under Awards granted under the Long-Term Retention Plan, and could affect the trading price of CPOs.

In connection with the sale of Televisa’s 50% equity participation in Sistema Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V. announced on July 17, 2019, Corporativo Coral, S.A. de C.V. and Miguel Alemán Magnani (jointly, the “Obligors”) failed to make an initial payment for approximately U.S.$32 million dollars. According to the Obligors, they have experienced delays in securing the necessary financing. Access to financing was not agreed as a condition precedent to payment. The Company will commence the corresponding legal actions if the Obligors remain in breach of its payment obligations.
Shares Outstanding

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our shares outstanding amounted to 337,244.3 million and 338,329.1 million shares, respectively, and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,882.4 million and 2,891.7 million, respectively. Not all of our shares are in the form of CPOs. The number of CPO equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of shares outstanding by 117.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 576.5 million and 578.3 million, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of CPO equivalents by five.
Sustainability

In September, Televisa was selected as a member of the 2019 Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Index, which is comprised of sustainability leaders from Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Colombia. In addition, Televisa was selected as one of three Mexican companies to be included in the 2019 Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index, which is comprised of sustainability leaders from Western Europe, India, China, South Africa, Central America, South America, and other countries.
