Excluding the amortization of costs and expenses related to the transmission rights of the World Cup Qatar 2022 at Sky, operating segment income would have declined only by 3.1%, for a 37.9% margin.

Cable

Total net additions for the quarter were approximately 339 thousand RGUs. We experienced sequential RGU growth in all services for the fourth quarter in a row. Broadband net additions accelerated to 96.2 thousand, making it the strongest of the last six quarters. Similarly, video net additions of 71.0 thousand maintained the positive trend experienced since the end of last year.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our Cable segment as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Third quarter sales increased by 2.7% to Ps.12,394.0 million compared with Ps.12,066.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. During the quarter, revenue at our MSO Operations grew by 2.0% year-on-year, while at our Enterprise Operations increased by 3.8%. Our MSO Operations experienced tough comparisons during the third quarter of 2022 due to the price increase we implemented in August of 2021, while this year we decided not to raise prices.

Third quarter operating segment income decreased by 3.0% to Ps.4,912.4 million compared with Ps.5,064.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The margin reached 39.6%. During the quarter, year-on-year operating segment income growth of 0.3% at our MSO Operations was fully offset by an operating segment income decline of 26.8% at our Enterprise Operations. Profitability at our Enterprise Operations declined by 1,060 basis points year-on-year given a temporary change in our business mix more leaned towards lower margin projects during the third quarter of 2022.

The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenue and operating segment Income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our MSO and Enterprise Operations for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021.

Consolidation adjustments are considered in the consolidated results of the Cable segment.

Third quarter sales and operating segment income in our MSO Operations increased by 2.0% and 0.3%, respectively, mainly driven by the approximately 339 thousand RGUs net additions.

Our MSO Operations experienced tough comparisons during the third quarter of 2022 due to the price increase we implemented in August of 2021, while this year we decided not to raise prices.

Profitability at our MSO Operations declined by 60 basis points year-on-year. The main reason for this is that our net additions were almost ten times higher than those of the same quarter of last year translating into higher subscriber acquisition costs. In addition, inflationary pressures were not offset by price increases this year as we decided to keep pricing of our packages unchanged.

Third quarter sales in our Enterprise Operations increased by 3.8% and the operating segment income declined by 26.8%.

Despite the conclusion of the “Red Jalisco” project in 2021, we managed to grow revenue at our Enterprise Operations as we were able to win new projects.

However, our profitability declined by 1,060 basis points year-on-year given a temporary change in our business mix more leaned towards lower margin projects during the third quarter of 2022.


Sky

During the quarter, Sky had 411 thousand RGUs disconnections. This was mainly driven by the loss of 381 thousand video RGUs, of which 204 thousand were related to the clean-up of our base.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for Sky as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Third quarter sales decreased by 8.7% to Ps.4,986.6 million compared with Ps.5,459.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, mainly explained by the year-on-year decline in RGUs and lower recharges at Sky’s prepaid packages. This was partly offset by price increases implemented in March.

Third quarter operating segment income decreased by 24.8% to Ps.1,701.0 million compared with Ps.2,261.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, driven by the lower revenue and the amortization of some costs and expenses related to the transmission rights of the World Cup Qatar 2022. The margin was 34.1%. Excluding these extra costs and expenses, operating segment income would have declined by 12.9%, for a 39.5% margin.

Other Businesses

Third quarter sales increased by 64.6% to Ps.1,932.7 million compared with Ps.1,174.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. This increase was mainly explained by the ongoing economic reopening.

Third quarter operating segment income increased by 99.1% to Ps.423.7 million compared with Ps.212.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, reaching a margin of 21.9%.


Corporate Expense

Corporate expense decreased by Ps.208.0 million, or 49.3%, to Ps.213.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, from Ps.421.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease reflected primarily a lower non-allocated expense in our current business segments, as well as the favorable effect of rental income from our investment property.

Share-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 amounted to Ps.257.3 million and Ps.221.7 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 Expense, Net

Other expense, net, increased by Ps.58.9 million, or 25.4%, to Ps.291.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, from Ps.232.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. This increase reflected primarily (i) the absence in the third quarter of 2022 of a Ps.207.6 million non-recurrent cash income received by us in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with tariff differences for interconnection services in our Cable segment; and (ii) an increase in other expense for legal and finance advisory professional services.

These unfavorable variances were partially offset by (i) a decrease in other expense related to a deferred compensation plan for certain officers of our Cable segment; and (ii) the absence in the third quarter of 2022 of surcharges and other penalties paid in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with income tax assessments of prior years in our Sky and Cable segments.

Other expense, net, for the third quarter of 2022, is comprised primarily of expenses related to legal and finance advisory professional services and a deferred compensation for certain officers of our Cable segment.

Finance expense, net, decreased by Ps.3,475.5 million, or 77.3%, to Ps.1,023.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, from Ps.4,498.7 million in the third quarter of 2021.

This decrease reflected:

(i)
a Ps.2,783.8 million favorable change in foreign exchange gain or loss, net, resulting primarily from a lower foreign exchange loss in connection with a 0.3% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on an average net U.S. dollar asset position in the third quarter of 2022, compared with a 3.7% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on an average net U.S. dollar liability position in the third quarter of 2021;

(ii)
a Ps.484.5 million increase in interest income explained primarily by a higher average amount of cash and cash equivalents in the third quarter of 2022; and

(iii)
a Ps.237.7 million decrease in other finance expense, net, resulting from a lower loss in fair value of our derivative contracts in the third quarter of 2022.

These favorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.30.5 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to finance expense in connection with our prepayment of long-term debt in the third quarter of 2022, which was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense derived from a lower average of principal amount of debt in the third quarter of 2022.


Share of Income of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, decreased by Ps.664.5 million, to Ps.575.7 million in third quarter of 2022, from Ps.1,240.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. This decrease reflected primarily the absence in the third quarter of 2022 of the reversal of an impairment loss in TelevisaUnivision, Inc. or “TelevisaUnivision” (formerly known as Univision Holdings II, Inc.) that was recognized in our share of income of TelevisaUnivision in the third quarter of 2021, which effect was partially offset by a higher share of income of TelevisaUnivision in the third quarter of 2022, and the quarterly cash dividend paid to us from our investment in preferred shares of TelevisaUnivision.

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, for the third quarter of 2022, included primarily our share of income of TelevisaUnivision.

7


Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by Ps.346.5 million, to Ps.351.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared with Ps.5.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. This increase reflected a higher income tax base and an increase in our effective income tax rate.


Income from Discontinued Operations

In connection with the transaction that we closed with TelevisaUnivision on January 31, 2022 (the “TelevisaUnivision Transaction”), beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we present the results from disposed businesses as income from discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income for the current period and for any comparative period presented.

Income from discontinued operations decreased by Ps.1,746.5 million, to Ps.739.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, from Ps.2,485.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. This decrease reflected primarily the absence in the third quarter of 2022 of net income of discontinued operations in connection with the TelevisaUnivision Transaction that was closed on January 31, 2022, which was partially offset by an increase in the net gain on disposition of discontinued operations.


Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Ps.122.8 million, or 40.0%, to Ps.184.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared with Ps.307.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. This decrease reflected primarily a lower portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable and Sky segments.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the third quarter of 2022, includes primarily net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable and Sky segments.


Capital Expenditures

During the third quarter of 2022, we invested approximately U.S.$207.7 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. The following table sets forth the breakdown by segment of capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021.

In August 2022, we concluded a tender cash offer to repurchase an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$292.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2025, 2045 and 2049 for an aggregate amount of U.S.$300.3 million, including related accrued and unpaid interest of U.S.$5.5 million.

As of September 30, 2022, our consolidated net debt position (total debt and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents, and non-current investments in financial instruments) was Ps.59,358.7 million. As of September 30, 2022, the non-current investments in financial instruments amounted to an aggregate of Ps.2,754.1 million.

Shares Outstanding

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our shares outstanding amounted to 330,472.1 million and 329,295.9 million shares, respectively, and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,824.5 million and 2,814.5 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 564.9 million and 562.9 million GDS equivalents, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of CPO equivalents by five.

Reorganization Proposal

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a reorganization proposal to separate from Televisa some businesses that are part of its Other Businesses segment, including its futbol operations, the Estadio Azteca, the gaming operations, and publishing and distribution of magazines, as well as certain related assets and real estate (the “Spun-off Businesses”). The businesses of izzi and Sky, the Company’s investment in TelevisaUnivision, broadcasting concessions and infrastructure, as well as other assets and real estate related to these businesses, would remain in the Company. It is expected that this proposed reorganization is carried out through a spin-off (escisión) of the Company, creating a new controlling entity listed in the Mexican Stock Exchange that would hold the Spun-off Businesses, and that would have the same shareholding structure of Televisa.

Televisa considers that this plan will allow both the Company and the new entity resulting from the spin-off, to focus on their respective business models and growth opportunities, enhancing their ability to generate better conditions for access to capital, financing sources and investors, that are aligned with each business.

It is expected that the reorganization is completed in the first half of next year, which will be subject to several conditions, including compliance with applicable law, as well as obtaining all required corporate and regulatory authorizations, and the approval of the spin-off by the Company’s shareholders meeting.
 

Favorable Resolution on Declaration of Substantial Power

The Company, Televisa, S. de R.L. de C.V. and certain subsidiaries of the Company of the Cable and Sky segments (the “Complainants”) obtained favorable amparo resolutions from a Federal specialized judge, ruling the unconstitutionality of the determination by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones) of substantial power in the market of restricted television and audio services in 35 municipalities of the country; this, as a result of the acquisition of the residential optical fiber-to-the home and related assets from Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V. on 2018.

In case the authority challenges this resolution, the Complainants would continue defending the judgment and will seek to extend the effects of its protection.


Sustainability

Throughout 2022, Televisa's many sustainability efforts continued to be recognized globally. For example, The Company was ratified as a constituent of the S&P/BMV Total Mexico ESG Index, developed by S&P Dow Jones and the Mexican Stock Exchange and the Company received the Distintivo Empresa Socialmente Responsable 2022 (2022 Socially Responsible Company recognition), granted by Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía (Mexican Center for Philanthropy).


COVID-19 Impact

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic still had a negative effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and it is currently difficult to predict the degree of the impact in the future.

We cannot guarantee that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings. In addition, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately reduce the demand for our products across our segments as our clients and customers reduce or defer their spending.

Most non-essential economic activities are open. Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorities may again impose restrictions on non-essential activities, including but not limited to temporary shutdowns or additional guidelines, which could be expensive or burdensome to implement, and which may affect our operations.

The magnitude of the impact on our business will depend on the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, including continued or future social distancing, and consumer behavior in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and such governmental actions. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of this situation, we are not able to estimate the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it may continue affecting our business, financial position and results of operations over the near, medium or long-term.
