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:
