Third-quartersales decreased by 2.5% to Ps.5,459.4 million compared with Ps.5,597.9 million in the third-quarter of 2020, mainly explained by lower recharges of Sky's prepaid packages as children are returning to school to in-person classes and workers are gradually going back to the office.

Third-quarteroperating segment income decreased by 7.2%, reaching Ps.2,261.7 million compared with Ps.2,436.7 million in the third-quarter of 2020.
