Sky

Year-over-year, the number of video RGUswas lower by 207.7 thousand. This is mainly explained by a lower number video RGUs given the disconnections in fourth quarter 2018 and first quarter 2019 that followed Sky's transmission of the Soccer World Cup in 2018. Subsequent to this effect, Sky added video RGUs in each of the last three quarters of 2019 and closed year with 7.4 million. In addition, Sky closed the year with 169,692 video RGUs in Central America and the Dominican Republic.

During 2019 Sky continued expanding its broadband operations with the addition of 294 thousand broadband RGUs. It closed the year with 386 thousand broadband RGUs.

Full year advertising salesdecreased by 8.2%. The decrease is substantially explained by a significant drop in government advertising. Core private sector advertising sales were down by 1.8% for the full year.

Network Subscription

Fourth quarter Network Subscription revenuesincreased by 1.9% to Ps.1,276.0 million compared with Ps.1,251.6 million in fourth quarter 2018.

Full year Network Subscription revenueincreased by 2.6%, mainly due to a price increase.

Licensing and Syndication

Fourth quarter Licensing and Syndication salesincreased by 7.7% to Ps.3,044.0 million from Ps.2,826.1 million in fourth quarter 2018. Royalties from Univision increased 15.2%, reaching U.S.$101.3 million dollars in fourth quarter 2019 compared to U.S.$88.0 million dollars in fourth quarter 2018.

Full-yearoperating segment income,excluding the non-recurring licensing revenue, decreased by 6.0% to Ps.12,632.1 million compared with Ps.13,444.6 million in 2018. The margin was 36.3%, in line with the previous year.

7

Other Businesses

Fourth quarter salesdecreased by 17.5% to Ps.1,933.9 million compared with Ps.2,344.0 million in fourth quarter 2018. The decrease is mainly explained by lower revenues in our film distribution and publishing businesses.

Full year salesincreased by 6.3% to Ps.8,200.3 million compared with Ps.7,715.5 million in 2018. The increase in revenues was mainly driven by performance in our soccer and gaming businesses, partially compensated by our publishing and film distribution businesses.

Fourth quarter operating segment incomedecreased by 27.8% to Ps.96.7 million compared with Ps.133.9 million in fourth quarter 2018. The decrease is mainly explained by the performance in our film distribution and soccer businesses.

Full year operating segment incomeincreased by 256.7% to Ps.1,464.2 million compared with Ps.410.5 million in 2018, mainly reflecting an increase in soccer, gaming and film distribution businesses, partially compensated by the performance of our publishing business.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense decreased by Ps.266.3 million, or 12.4%, to Ps.1,888.4 in 2019, from Ps.2,154.7 million in 2018. This decrease reflected primarily a lower share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense in 2019 and 2018, amounted to Ps.1,129.6 million and Ps.1,327.5 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.

Other Income or Expense, Net

Other income or expense, net, changed by Ps.2,657.9 million, to other expense, net, of Ps.1,095.6 million in 2019, from other income, net, of Ps.1,562.3 million in 2018. This unfavorable change reflected primarily:

  1. the absence in 2019 of a Ps.3,513.8 million pretax gain on disposition of our 19.9% stake in Imagina Media Audiovisual, S. L. ("Imagina"), a Spanish media group, which sale was closed in June 2018; and
  1. a higher expense related to legal, financial and accounting advisory and professional services.

8

These unfavorable variances were mainly offset by:

  1. the absence in 2019 of other taxes paid by Sky in Central America in 2018;
  1. a lower loss on disposition of property and equipment; and III. interest income on asset tax recovered from prior years.

Finance expense, net, increased by Ps.31.1 million, or 0.4%, to Ps.8,810.8 million in 2019, from Ps.8,779.7 million in 2018.

This increase reflected:

  1. a Ps.694.7 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to a higher average principal amount of debt in 2019, as well as interest expense in the amount of Ps.426.5 million related to additional lease liabilities recognized beginning on January 1, 2019, in connection with the adoption of IFRS 16, which became effective on that date;
  1. a Ps.38.0 million decrease in interest income, primarily explained by a lower average amount of cash equivalents; and
  1. a Ps.13.6 million increase in other finance expense, net, resulting primarily from changes in fair value of our derivative contracts.

These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.715.2 million increase in foreign exchange gain, net, resulting primarily from the effect of a 4.0% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in 2019, in comparison with a 0.2% appreciation in 2018, on our average net U.S. dollar liability position.

Share of Income of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, increased by Ps.48.2 million, or 9.0%, to Ps.581.1 million in 2019, from Ps.532.9 million in 2018. This increase reflected mainly a higher share of income of Univision Holdings, Inc. or UHI, the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc., which was partially offset by the absence of share of income of Ocesa Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. ("OCEN"), for the last five months of 2019, as we classified our investment in OCEN as current assets held for sale, in connection with a related sale agreement.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased by Ps.1,614.0 million, or 36.8%, to Ps.2,776.5 million in 2019, compared with Ps.4,390.5 million in 2018. This decrease reflected mainly a lower income tax base, as well as a reduction in effective income tax rate.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Ps.125.2 million, or 7.8%, to Ps.1,480.7 million in 2019, compared with Ps.1,605.9 million in 2018. This decrease reflected primarily a lower portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Sky segment.

Capital Expenditures

During 2019, we invested approximately U.S.$992.2 million dollars in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. The following table sets forth the breakdown of capital expenditures for 2019 and 2018.

  1. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, total debt is presented net of finance costs in the amount of Ps.1,441.6 million and Ps.1,152.7 million, respectively, and does not include related accrued interest payable in the amount of Ps.1,943.9 million and Ps.1,120.0 million, respectively.
  2. Beginning on January 1, 2019, we adopted IFRS 16, which became effective on that date. As a result, we (i) recognizedright-of- use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, in the amount of Ps.4,750.4 million for those long-term lease agreements that we accounted for as operating leases through December 31, 2018; and (ii) classified as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, the carrying values of property and equipment and related liabilities that we accounted for as finance leases through December 31, 2018, in the amount of Ps.3,402.9 million and Ps.5,317.9 million, respectively.
  3. Notes payable issued in 2016, in connection with the acquisition of anon-controlling interest in Televisión Internacional, S.A. de C.V., one of our Cable segment subsidiaries.

On October 3, 2019, we prepaid all of the outstanding Mexican peso Notes due 2020, in the principal amount of Ps.10,000.0 million.

As of December 31, 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.93,733.1 million. The aggregate amount of non- current investments in financial instruments included in our consolidated net debt position as of December 31, 2019, amounted to Ps.10,439.2 million.

Shares Outstanding

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

Sustainability

During 2019, Televisa was selected for the 2019 Dow Jones Sustainability (DJSI) MILA Pacific Alliance Index and was one of only three Mexican companies to be selected for the 2019 DJSI Emerging Markets Index. Also, Televisa was included as a constituent of the 2019 FTSE4Good Emerging Markets and Emerging Latin America Indices.
