Television Broadcasting |
First-quarter sales increased 3.4% to Ps.4,179.2 million compared with Ps.4,041.7 million in first quarter 2009. This increase reflects strong ratings due to telenovelas such as Hasta que el Dinero nos Separe and Corazón Salvaje, as well as an improving advertising environment. We also broadcast successful series such as Hermanos y Dectectives and Ellas son la Alegría del Hogar. Upfront deposits represented 88.5% of revenues during the quarter and the remaining were sales in the spot market.
|
First-quarter operating segment income increased 1.3% to Ps.1,604.2 million compared with Ps.1,584.3 million in first quarter 2009; the margin was 38.4%. The decrease in margins of 81.4 basis points was in line with our annual guidance.
|
|
Pay Television Networks
|
First-quarter sales increased 15.3% to Ps.701.5 million compared with Ps.608.4 million in first quarter 2009. The increase was driven by higher revenues from channels sold in Mexico and abroad as well as higher advertising sales. As of March 31, 2010, and through our cable and DTH affiliates worldwide, our Pay Television Networks business reached 23.5 million subscribers carrying an average of 5.2 Televisa pay-TV channels each. This positive effect was partially offset by a negative translation effect of foreign-currency-denominated sales.
|
First-quarter operating segment income decreased 17% to Ps.329.5 million compared with Ps.396.8 million in first quarter 2009, and the margin was 47%. This decrease reflects higher cost of sales and operating expenses, driven mainly by investments made in the production and launch of two new channels: Televisa Deportes Network (“TDN”) in August of 2009 and Foro TV, our 24-hours news pay-TV channel in February 2010. In the aggregate, these two channels represented incremental costs and expenses of Ps.155 million. This figure includes the partial amortization of costs related to the 2010 Soccer World Cup and special programming that has been produced around this event.
|
|
Programming Exports
|
First-quarter sales decreased 3.8% to Ps.660.1 million compared with Ps.686.3 million in first quarter 2009. The decrease was attributable to a negative translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated sales amounting to Ps.75.8 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in royalties from Univision, from US$29.9 million in first quarter 2009 to US$32.9 million in first quarter 2010.
First-quarter operating segment income decreased 13.4% to Ps.294.9 million compared with Ps.340.5 million in first quarter 2009, with a margin of 44.7%. These results reflect lower sales as well as higher costs of sales mainly due to higher amortizations of programming collaborations such as La Fea más Bella in China and certain formats sold in Argentina.
|
Publishing
|
First-quarter sales decreased 10.6% to Ps.685.5 million compared with Ps.766.7 million in first quarter 2009. The decrease was driven primarily by i) a negative translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated sales and ii) lower revenues from magazine circulation primarily outside Mexico.
|
First-quarter operating segment income increased 9.8% to Ps.24.7 million compared with Ps.22.5 million in first quarter 2009, and the margin was 3.6%. This increase reflects lower operating costs due to i) a positive translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated costs, mainly in cost of paper and printing; and ii) the reduction in restructuring costs incurred during first quarter 2010.
|
|
Sky
|
First-quarter sales increased 9.5% to Ps.2,645.9 million compared with Ps.2,416.8 million in the same period of 2009. The growth is explained principally by an increase in the subscriber base in Mexico. During the quarter, Sky added a total of 238 thousand subscribers of which 235 thousand were in Mexico, beating last quarter’s record net additions. The growth in Mexico is driven mainly by the success of Sky´s new low-cost offerings. Additionally, higher advertising revenues and the increase of subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic also supported the segment’s growth. These results were partially offset by a negative translation effect on sales in Central America and the Dominican Republic which are denominated in US dollars. As of March 31, 2010, the number of gross active subscribers increased to 2,197,302 (including 145,420 commercial subscribers), compared with 1,784,608 (including 133,435 commercial subscribers) as of March 31, 2009. Sky closed the quarter with more than 140 thousand subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
|
First-quarter operating segment income increased marginally by 0.5% to Ps.1,116.8 million compared with Ps.1,110.8 million in first quarter 2009, and the margin was 42.2%. This increase reflects higher sales that were offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses. These are explained primarily by the amortization of costs of Ps.47 million related to the 2010 Soccer World Cup and a higher fixed costs structure due to the operation of the new satellite that was launched during the quarter.
|
|
Cable and Telecom
|
First-quarter sales increased 23.8% to Ps.2,740.3 million compared with Ps.2,214 million in the same period of 2009. This increase was attributable to i) the addition of approximately 381 thousand revenue generating units (“RGUs”) in Cablevision and Cablemás during the year driven mainly by the success of our competitive triple-play bundles; and ii) the consolidation of TVI since October 1, 2009 which added over 32 thousand RGUs during the quarter. These favorable variances were partially offset by a decrease in long-distance interconnection revenue in Bestel. Cablevision, Cablemás, and Bestel net sales grew by 18.6%, 8.7% and (16.1)%, respectively. The consolidation of TVI represented incremental revenue of Ps.432 million during the quarter.
First-quarter operating segment income increased 33.5% to Ps.907.1 million compared with Ps.679.3 million in first quarter 2009, and the margin was 33.1%. Excluding Bestel, margins grew from 35% to 38.7%. These results reflect higher sales as well as a positive translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated costs and include higher costs and expenses resulting from the consolidation of TVI and the costs inherent to growth in the subscriber base. During the quarter, operating segment income of Cablevision, Cablemás, and Bestel grew by 29.6%, 16.5%, and (40.6)%, respectively. The consolidation of TVI represented incremental operating segment income of Ps.149.3 million.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of subscribers for each of our three cable and telecom subsidiaries.

First-quarter sales decreased 9.1% to Ps.803.8 million compared with Ps.884.1 million in first quarter 2009. The decrease was driven by lower sales in our publishing distribution business and the termination of a feature-film distribution agreement this quarter, which were partially offset by higher sales in our gaming, radio, and soccer businesses. Gaming continues its conservative but steady pace of growth.
First-quarter operating segment loss increased 132.9% to Ps.92.7 million compared with Ps.39.8 million in first quarter 2009, reflecting lower sales and higher operating expenses that were partially offset by lower cost of sales.
