Advertising
Advertising revenue increased by 1.6%. Advertising in pay-TV networks increased 10.0% and represented 6.3% of our advertising revenues.
Network Subscription Revenue
First-quarter Network Subscription Revenue increased by 19.4% to Ps.821.8 million compared with Ps.688.1 million in first-quarter 2014. The growth was driven mainly by the sustained addition of pay-TV subscribers, both in Mexico and Latin America and to a lesser extent a positive translation effect on foreign-currency denominated revenues. During the quarter, Televisa continued to produce and transmit several of the leading pay-TV networks in Mexico in key categories, including general entertainment, music and lifestyle, and movies.
Licensing and Syndication
First-quarter Licensing and Syndication revenue increased by 12.4% to Ps.1,575.3 million compared with Ps.1,401.1 million in first-quarter 2014. The increase is explained mainly by a positive translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated revenues. First-quarter royalties from Univision increased by 1.3% to US$65.6 million in first-quarter 2015 from US$64.8 million in first-quarter 2014.
|
||||||
First-quarter operating segment income increased by 8.7% to Ps.2,609.0 million compared with Ps.2,400.1 million in first-quarter 2014. The margin was 37.2%. The increase in the margin of 110 basis points from same quarter last year is mainly explained by the growth in all of our content revenue lines.
|
||||||
Sky
|
First-quarter sales increased by 10.1% to Ps.4,621.7 million compared with Ps.4,199.2 million in first-quarter 2014. The increase was driven by the growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained by the success of Sky’s low-cost offerings. The number of net active subscribers increased by 128,814 during the quarter to 6,766,846 as of March 31, 2015, compared with 6,154,290 as of March 31, 2014. Sky ended the quarter with 193,524 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
|
|||||
First-quarter operating segment income increased by 10.3% to Ps.2,149.1 million compared with Ps.1,947.7 million in first-quarter 2014, and the margin was 46.5%, practically flat from same quarter last year.
|
||||||
Telecommunications
|
First-quarter sales increased by 45.9% to Ps.6,714.5 million compared with Ps.4,600.6 million in first-quarter 2014 driven by growth in all of our cable platforms and the consolidation, for the full quarter, of Ps.1,545.5 million revenues from Cablecom and Telecable (also referred to as Cablevisión Red). Excluding Cablecom and Telecable, first-quarter sales from our cable and network operations increased by 12.4%. Voice and data revenue generating units, or RGUs, grew 53.6% and 48.7% compared with first-quarter 2014, respectively, and video RGUs grew 53.6%. Excluding the acquisition of Cablecom and Telecable, Voice and Data RGUs, grew 28.5% and 23.3% compared with first-quarter 2014, respectively, while Video RGUs grew by 5.1%.
|
|||||
The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our telecommunications segments as of March 31, 2015 and 2014.

First-quarter operating segment income increased by 63.3% to Ps.2,657.8 million compared with Ps.1,627.2 million in first-quarter 2014, and the margin was 39.6%, an increase of 420 basis points from same quarter last year. These results primarily reflected the consolidation of Cablecom and Telecable, which contributed with Ps.730.9 million to operating segment income, continued growth in the cable platforms and Bestel, and lower long distance costs and advertising and promotional expenses. These favorable variances were partially offset by the increase in maintenance costs, and personnel costs and expenses during the quarter. Excluding Cablecom and Telecable, operating segment income increased by 18.4%.
The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our cable and network operations for first-quarter 2015 and 2014.
Our cable operations include the video, voice and data services provided by Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI, Cablecom and Telecable. Our network operations include the services offered by Bestel and the network operations of Cablecom.

(1) These results do not include consolidation adjustments of Ps.182.5 million in revenues nor Ps.73.5 million in Operating Segment Income, which are considered in the consolidated results of the Telecommunications segment.
(2) The Operating Segment Income line above includes certain expenses previously included in the consolidation adjustments figure as reported in first-quarter of 2014, which amounted to Ps.54.9 million in that period. These expenses are better accounted for as operating expenses as they are related to the management structure created to lead in the expansion and integration of Televisa´s telecommunications operations.

Other Businesses
|
First-quarter sales increased by 7.3% to Ps.1,918.4 million compared with Ps.1,787.5 million in first-quarter 2014. Businesses that performed well include gaming, soccer and radio. The gaming business benefited from an increase in the number of electronic gaming machines, the soccer business benefited from player related transactions and higher advertising revenues, while the radio business saw an increase in advertising revenues. This effect was partially compensated by lower revenues in our publishing and feature-film distribution businesses.
|
|||||||||
First-quarter operating segment income increased by 111.7% to Ps.221.6 million compared with Ps.104.7 million in first-quarter 2014, reflecting i) an increase in the operating segment income of our gaming, soccer, and radio businesses; and ii) a smaller operating segment loss in our publishing and publishing distribution businesses. This effect was partially compensated by a shift from operating segment income to operating segment loss in our feature-film distribution business.
