THIRD QUARTER 2017 | 2 |
|
Advertising
Third-quarter Advertising revenue decreased by 8.4% to Ps.4,943.8 million compared with Ps.5,397.9 million in the third-quarter 2016. During the quarter, prime time ratings of Channel 2 continued their positive trend. Advertising sold in the upfront gives our clients access to advertising inventory at fixed prices and grants them sufficient flexibility to seek the lowest cost-per-rating point. In light of the ratings increase, this mechanism is allowing them to achieve their target audience volumes with a smaller advertising expense. To a lesser extent, Advertising revenue was impacted by the September 19th earthquake as our flagship network was transmitted with no commercial interruptions for three consecutive days following this event.
|
|
Network Subscription Revenue
Third-quarter Network Subscription Revenue decreased by 17.4% to Ps.929.7 million compared with Ps.1,125.8 million in the third-quarter 2016. The decrease was driven mainly by the fact that a competitor is no longer carrying our pay TV networks. This is the last quarter with the difficult comparison.
Licensing and Syndication
Third-quarter Licensing and Syndication revenue decreased by 0.1% to Ps.2,151.4 million compared with Ps.2,152.6 million in the third-quarter 2016. Third-quarter royalties from Univision were in line with last year, reaching U.S.$80.6 million.
Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 14.8% to Ps.3,102.1 million compared with Ps.3,642.6 million in the third-quarter 2016; the margin was 38.7%. This was partially offset by 2.2% reduction in cost and expenses.
|
Sky
|
Third-quarter sales decreased by 1.1% to Ps.5,445.2 million compared with Ps.5,505.8 million in the third-quarter 2016. The number of net active subscribers increased by 1,801 during the quarter to 8,014,898 as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2016, Sky had 7,926,678 subscribers. Sky ended the quarter with 184,582 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
Sky continues to be impacted by the extraordinary growth in net additions achieved in 2016 due to the analog shut down. This effect has also increased the number of cancelations during 2017. To a lesser extent, the earthquake had an impact in our ability to sell and install new customers for almost a full week in the most affected areas. In addition, recharge rates for our pre-paid packages were lower when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite these two factors, subscription revenues in Mexico grew in the third quarter when compared to last year, offset by a decline in revenues from Central America.
Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 5.0% to Ps.2,660.4 million compared with Ps.2,534.1 million in the third-quarter 2016, and the margin was 48.9%. The increase in the margin of 290 basis points from same quarter last year is mainly the result of management’s strong discipline in costs and expenses.
|
Cable
|
Third-quarter sales increased by 2.1% to Ps.8,322.5 million compared with Ps.8,155.2 million in the third-quarter 2016 driven by the quarterly growth in all of our services, adding 31 thousand video RGUs, 145 thousand data RGUs and 23 thousand voice RGUs. In spite of the earthquake, which impacted our systems in Mexico City and its surrounding areas, Cuernavaca, Cuautla and Yautepec, this is the fastest pace of growth of the last five quarters.

Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 2.3% to Ps.3,523.5 million compared with Ps.3,443.3 million in the third-quarter 2016, and the margin reached 42.3%, similar to the same quarter last year. Results were partially offset by our network operations segment, where we have seen a reduction in the number of new government contracts up for tender as well as a reduction in the rates we charge due to intense competition.
The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our cable and network operations for the third-quarter 2017 and 2016.
Our cable operations include video, voice and data services provided by Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI, Cablecom and Telecable. Our network operations include services offered by Bestel and the network operations of Cablecom.

Third-quarter sales decreased by 11.4% to Ps.1,970.9 million compared with Ps.2,225.7 million in the third-quarter 2016. This decrease is explained mainly by (i) a decrease in the revenues of our soccer business; and (ii) a decrease in the revenues of our publishing business. This effect was partially compensated by an increase in the revenues of our feature-film distribution business.
Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 85.2% to Ps.53.3 million compared with Ps.359.1 million in the third-quarter 2016, and the margin reached 2.7%. These results are mainly explained by a decrease in the operating segment income related to soccer and publishing businesses.
