Mexico City, April 29, 2019 - Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; "Televisa" or "the Company"), today announced results for first-quarter 2019. The results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

The following table sets forth condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, in millions of Mexican pesos:

(1)The operating segment income margin is calculated as a percentage of segment net sales.

Net sales increased by 2.6% to Ps.23,395.2 million in first-quarter 2019 compared with Ps.22,812.0 million in first-quarter 2018. This increase was mainly attributable to revenue growth in the Cable segment. Operating segment income increased by 3.0%, reaching Ps.9,406.4 million with a margin of 38.2%, in line with previous year.

Net income attributable to stockholders of the Company decreased to Ps.541.7 million in first-quarter 2019 compared to Ps.677.6 million in first-quarter 2018. The net decrease of Ps.135.9 million, or 20.1%, reflected primarily (i) a Ps.415.2 increase in depreciation and amortization; and (ii) a Ps.73.4 million increase in finance expense, net. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.296.2 million increase in operating income before depreciation and amortization and other expense, net.

Disclosure of management's objectives and its strategies for meeting those objectives

We intend to leverage our position as a leading media company in the Spanish-speaking world to continue expanding our business while maintaining profitability and financial discipline. We intend to do so by maintaining our leading position in the Mexican television market, by continuing to produce high quality programming and by improving our sales and marketing efforts while maintaining high operating margins and expanding our cable business.

By leveraging all our business segments and capitalizing on their synergies to extract maximum value from our content and our distribution channels, we also intend to continue expanding our cable business, increasing our international programming sales worldwide and strengthening our position in the growing U.S.- Hispanic market. We also intend to continue developing and expanding Sky, our DTH platform, and our cable businesses. We will continue to strengthen our position and will continue making additional investments, which could be substantial in size, in the DTH and cable industry in accordance with the consolidation of the cable market in Mexico, and we will also continue developing our publishing business and maintain our efforts to become an important player in the gaming industry.

We intend to continue to expand our business by developing new business initiatives and/or through business acquisitions and investments in Mexico, the United States and elsewhere. However, we continue to evaluate our portfolio of assets, in order to determine whether to continue plans to dispose of select non- core operations.
