Powered by the largest library of owned Spanish-language content and a prolific production capability, TelevisaUnivision is the top producer of original content in Spanish across news, sports and entertainment verticals.

4 1) streamlining the operating expenses structure and rationalizing capex deployment at our cable company, izzi, to improve our free cash flow generation; (2) buy-ing the AT&T minority stake in Sky to integrate it with izzi and attain material synergies through cost cutting initiatives; (3) concluding the spin-off of our non-core sports and gaming businesses, creating a new pub-licly listed company in Mexico, to unlock value for our shareholders; and (4) scaling and turning profitable TelevisaUnivision’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) business, while identifying opportunities to materially reduce the company’s operating expenses in 2025 to improve profitability and enhance its free cash flow generation. We believe we have accomplished all these goals. At Grupo Televisa: We implemented a corporate restructuring process at our Cable segment to improve profitability, optimize capex, increase free cash flow generation and posi-tion us well to achieve sustainable revenue growth over the coming years. The measures carried out allowed us to improve profitability by over 300 basis points to 39.0% in 2024 relative to the third quarter of 2023, and we expect that our Cable EBITDA margin will continue to expand gradually over the coming years due to ongoing efficiencies. Regarding capex, our Cable invest-ments were optimized by 37% to almost US$400 million dollars in 2024, while our Cable capex to sales ratio of 15.6% was 740 ba-sis points lower than that of 2023. This streamlining of Cable invest-ments was driven by a more dis-ciplined subscriber acquisition ap-DEAR SHAREHOLDERS Bernardo Gómez Alfonso de Angoitia Co-Chief Executive Officers In 2024, we focused primarily on four key goals which we think will allow us to create greater value for our stakeholders: |
TELEVISA 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 5 proach focused on value customers, and a more efficient and rational expansion of our fiber network. In 2024, operating cash flow for our Cable segment, which is equivalent to EBITDA minus capex, was over $11 billion pesos, growing by almost 38% year-on-year and accounting for more than 23% of sales. This implies that the operating cash flow margin of our Cable segment increased by around 700 basis points. We integrated Sky with our Cable segment to strengthen our competitive and financial position. On this front, we re-organized the structure of the com - bined company, allowing us to retain top talent and optimize duplicated roles. We have also implemented synergies and efficiencies, across several areas includ - ing commercial, sales commissions, programming, IT, technology, finance and marketing, among others. This integration has also allowed us to standardize regions, sales channels and commissions, have bet - ter customer base management, increase productivity, achieve cross selling and upselling, improve penetra - tion of triple play services and gradually reduce churn. The Sky restructuring and integration process allowed us to cut operating expenses by around 10% year-on-year in 2024, while our capex deployment of US$83 million dollars declined by 44%. Therefore, Sky’s operat - ing cash flow of around $3.2 billion pesos increased by 3% year-on-year and accounted for almost 21% of sales. This means that the operating cash flow margin for Sky expanded by 300 basis points year-on-year. All in all, Grupo Televisa’s consolidated operating cash - flow was $14.3 billion pesos in 2024, growing by over 28% year-on-year and accounting for almost 23% of sales. This implies that our consolidated operating cash flow margin increased by 600 basis points year-on-year. |
6 In 2024, the operating expenses and capex efficien - cies obtained in our two consolidated businesses, and a leaner corporate structure allowed Grupo Televisa to generate over $10.1 billion pesos in free cash flow. We view this as a great achievement as it represented over 16% of consolidated revenue. On February 20, 2024, we concluded the spin-off of Ol - lamani and its listing on the Mexican Stock Exchange. This spin-off not only streamlined Grupo Televisa’s opera - tions and simplified our asset structure but also unlocked value for our shareholders through this new company that has a market cap of around US$340 million dollars. At TelevisaUnivision: The company turned its streaming platform, ViX, into a US$1 billion-dollar DTC business from a revenue stand - point and made it profitable during the third quarter of 2024. TelevisaUnivision’s DTC business is growing and scaling, with its most important metrics trending in the right direction. ViX’s streaming users and subscribers grew by more than 20% during the year, the platform increased en - gagement, reduced churn, and generated significant marketing savings driven by its efficient customer acqui - sition funnel through its free tier. Therefore, during the second half of last year TelevisaUnivision has already delivered the major milestone of profitability at its DTC business, only two years after launching the service. This was only possible since it (1) owns the rights to the larg - est long-form video library in the world in any language with over 300,000 hours of durable, scripted entertain - ment; and (2) has material advantages with regards to original content cost production as it has a fully verti - cally integrated system in a very efficient location. Each year, TelevisaUnivision produces around 100,000 hours of long form video content across news, sports, and script - ed entertainment. |
TELEVISA 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 7 Achieving this milestone was an essential step in Telev - isaUnivision’s transformation phase. Now, the next big opportunity for value creation is to build on this founda - tion through further integration and operational opti - mization of the business. On this point, TelevisaUnivision has already laid the foundation for further integration and efficiencies. In late December of 2024, the company executed an op - timization program reducing its headcount by around 1,000 employees, or about 8% of its global workforce. Combined with other efficiency measures, this is expect - ed to reduce TelevisaUnivision’s 2025 operating expens - es by over US$400 million dollars. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE In 2024, Grupo Televisa’s consolidated revenue reached around $62.3 billion pesos, representing a year-on-year decline of 6%; while operating segment income reached approximately $23.2 billion pesos, equivalent to a year-on-year decrease of 7.5% mainly driven by the lower rev-enue at Sky. At our unconsolidated affiliate, TelevisaUnivision, 2024 was a year of continued momentum. The company’s full year revenue increased by 3% year-on-year to around US$5.1 billion dollars, while adjusted EBITDA of about US$1.6 billion dollars declined by 3%. Excluding the im - pact from the depreciation of the Mexican peso, Televis - aUnivision’s full year revenue increased by 4%, with rev - enue in the U.S. growing by 2% and revenue in Mexico increasing by 8%, while adjusted EBITDA fell by 1%. CABLE & SKY – INTEGRATION BRINGS MATERIAL SYNERGIES In 2024, we passed 365 thousand homes with fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), closing the year with around 19.9 mil - lion homes passed with our network, of which approxi - mately 76% are connected either with fiber-to-the-node or fiber-to-the-home. The investments that we have made over the last few years have been paying off and |
8 have allowed us to keep up with the increase in demand for high-speed broadband. We ended 2024 with 15.2 mil-lion total revenue generating units (RGUs) in our Cable segment, as we keep focusing on value customers and working on customer retention and satisfaction. At Sky, we had almost 1.1 million RGU disconnections, mainly driven by the loss of approximately 871 thousand vid-eo subscribers due to the secular decline experienced by DTH service providers around the world. Sky closed the year with about 5.1 million RGUs, of which 6.9%, or 351 thousand, are broadband subscribers. In Cable, we delivered modest revenue decline of 2.9% during 2024. Revenue from our Residential operations (91% of Cable revenue) fell by 2.5%, while revenue from our Business operations (9% of Cable revenue) declined by 6.3%. Revenue at Sky fell by 12.8% year-on-year main-ly due to the RGU base decline in 2024. Grupo Televisa’s consolidated operating segment income declined by 7.5% year-on-year despite having savings in operating expenses of around 5%, mainly due to the low-er revenue at Sky. However, we believe further integration with our Cable segment should help bring incremental synergies, leading us to expand profitability going forward. TELEVISAUNIVISION – VIX ALREADY PROFITABLE IN 2H24 2024 was a year of continued momentum for TelevisaU-nivision, driven by a record-breaking year in sports and political advertising demand. Moreover, this was the second full year of operations of ViX, the largest Span-ish-language streaming platform in the world, deliver-ing outstanding results. ViX’s monthly active users and subscribers increased by over 20% year-on-year. As a re-sult, TelevisaUnivision’s DTC business delivered full year revenue of US$1 billion dollars and positive adjusted EBITDA from the third quarter of 2024. TelevisaUnivision’s full year consolidated revenue in-creased by 3% to around US$5.1 billion dollars. Exclud-ing the impact from the depreciation of the Mexican peso, TelevisaUnivision’s full year revenue increased by 4%, with revenue in the U.S. growing by 2% and rev-enue in Mexico increasing by 8%. Total advertising revenue increased by 3%. In the U.S., advertising revenue grew by 2% driven by di-rect-to-consumer advertising revenue, U.S. political advertising revenue of US$70 million dollars, along with a record-breaking year in sports. In Mexico, ad-vertising revenue increased by 5% supported by di-rect-to-consumer advertising revenue, the acquisition of third-party ad inventory and the strong perfor-mance of sports content, including Copa America, the Olympics and Liga MX. Excluding the impact from the depreciation of the Mexican peso, advertising revenue in Mexico increased by 10%. Total subscription and licensing revenue increased by 3% driven by growth in ViX’s premium tier partially offset by declines from linear platform subscribers and lower licensing revenue. In the U.S., subscription and licensing revenue increased by 3%. In Mexico, subscrip-tion and licensing revenue grew by 3%, or 5% excluding the impact from the depreciation of the Mexican peso. Adjusted EBITDA of about US$1.6 billion dollars declined by 3% year-on-year driven primarily by higher operat-ing expenses related to continued investments in ViX, investments in the expansion of our third-party adver-tising sales business in Mexico and higher sports-relat-ed costs with Copa America, the Olympics and the Su-per Bowl. Excluding the impact from the depreciation of the Mexican peso, TelevisaUnivision’s adjusted EBIT-DA fell by 1%. |
TELEVISA 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 9 IMPLEMENTING FURTHER OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES IN 2025 We believe that the ongoing implementation of our value-focused strategy will allow us to improve our op - erating and financial performance in 2025. At Grupo Televisa we have been focused on attracting value customers, stabilizing our revenue base, enhanc - ing profitability, optimizing capex, and improving free cash flow generation. In 2024, our free cash flow gen - eration was very strong. In 2025, our capex budget of US$665 million dollars is higher than that of 2024 as we expect to keep expanding and strengthening our net - work within the boundaries of our strategy to maximize efficiencies and customer lifetime value. And at TelevisaUnivision, now that its DTC business has achieved scale and profitability, management considers that additional value can be unlocked through further in - tegration and operational optimization of the business. We feel privileged to be leading Grupo Televisa through this digital transformation and simplification process. Most importantly, we are very thankful to all employ - ees at our consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidat - ed affiliates for their unwavering dedication to continue providing the high-quality broadband, video and voice services that our customers need and expect; and in - forming and entertaining our audiences. We also have an incredibly strong and dedicated board of directors working for the benefit of Grupo Televisa and its stakeholders, and we are grateful for their many contributions and thoughtful advice during 2024. To our shareholders, we want to extend our apprecia - tion for your continued confidence in our vision and in our long-term prospects.

18 CONNECTING WITH PURPOSE WE BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO WHAT MATTERS MOST TO THEM At Grupo Televisa, we are aware of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges that the world faces, and how these present risks, but also opportunities to create value in the short, medium and long term for our stakeholders: employees, clients, investors, and the communities we serve. In 2023, we launched our new purpose that brings to life the mission and vision of our business - WE BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO WHAT MATTERS MOST TO THEM - and since then it has been our driving force to move forward and achieve our goals. Our focus on ESG issues is an integral part of our business purpose and strategy. In 2024 we continued to demonstrate our commitment to creating a resilient company; that promotes digitalization for all, takes care of its people and develops reliable infrastructure through innovation and investment in resilient communication networks that empower society. Our products and services are an essential part of everyday life, and we seek to be catalysts for the development of value for generations: from education to business connectivity and entertainment. During 2024, we worked to strengthen the integration of our ESG strategy into day-to-day operations. From our technicians and operators to the highest management of the company, we are aware that this integration is essential for a resilient business model. Our ESG strategy consists of 4 strategic pillars; Climate resilient connections Digital inclusion Empowering people Leading by example |
TELEVISA 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 19 CONNECTING WITH PURPOSE Our climate action strategy focuses on reducing emissions in our value chain, strengthening the resilience of our network and promoting a low-emissions economy, which in turn generates operational efficiencies and cost improvements. To achieve this, we commit to investing in climate-resilient networks, implementing energy efficiency initiatives to reduce our energy consumption, and incorporating renewable electricity to decarbonize our operations. Through our service centers, we reduce the number of electronic devices that are disposed of as electronic waste, thus reducing operating costs, providing better service to our customers, and reducing our environmental footprint. In addition, we empower our workforce through communication and training to be more aware of how their work impacts the environment. During 2024, we worked hand in hand with our suppliers to promote reuse, recycling and emissions reduction practices, establishing alliances to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable economy. At Grupo Televisa, we follow the carbon mitigation hierarchy to avoid, reduce and minimize our greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2019, we have continued to adopt the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and strengthen our climate risk management and governance strategy. The year 2024 was an important year in terms of climate risk disclosure. The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued two new sets of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): S1 and S2, which take much of the recommendations of the TCFD for sustainability and climate risk disclosure. Thanks to our efforts over the past few years, we believe we are prepared to comply with these and future sustainability regulations. For example, we have conducted a climate risk analysis for which results will be available in 2025 with the aim of identifying and mitigating the possible adverse effects of climate change on our infrastructure. Our transparency and reporting strategy is not only aligned with the TCFD recommendations, it is also aligned with international reference frameworks and standards to meet the information requirements of external institutions. We publish the Sustainability Report year after year aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, an internationally recognized framework for sustainability reporting that helps organizations report on their economic, environmental and social impacts; as well as with the industry standards of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). Grupo Televisa supports the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”), and we have been signatories of the United Nations Global Compact since 2016. In a world and a society where we increasingly turn to digital tools to carry out all types of productive, educational and personal activities, and more, guaranteeing access, digital inclusion and providing knowledge to the entire country is not only an issue of positive impact on the community, but also a business development priority. Over the years, we have focused our efforts on providing access to digital technology, developing digital skills, ensuring school connectivity, |
20 promoting digital inclusion for women and girls, as well as facilitating digital access for various users and vulnerable groups. In addition to this, digital inclusion gives us a responsibility that we take with pride: providing the best service and attention to our clients, promptly resolving any setbacks and promoting loyalty, taking care of our reputation and increasing our competitiveness. Our people are at the heart of our success and innovation. Our commitment to empowering people encompasses two essential aspects. On one hand, we want to be a company that everyone wants to be part of. We focus on providing job security, attractive benefit schemes, ongoing training and programs to encourage promotion within the company. On the other hand, through the Televisa Foundation, we promote innovative programs in education, culture, entrepreneurship and environmental protection, using advanced digital tools and providing financial support. At Grupo Televisa, we value and celebrate diversity as a strategic asset. We promote an environment where everyone is recognized, valued and respected for their uniqueness, thus contributing to our objectives as a company. Grupo Televisa is committed to carrying out its operations ethically and in full compliance with law. Our Code of Ethics establishes the values, principles and standards of conduct that guide our commercial activities, addressing issues such as the prevention of bribery and corruption. All new employees are required to accept and adhere to our Code of Ethics upon joining the company, and we provide regular training to our employees. In addition certain executive positions renew their commitment annually. Grupo Televisa offers confidential communication channels so that employees and third parties can report any violation of the Code of Ethics or other internal policies, as well as any situation that may affect our interests, business objectives or human capital. Under our pillar, “Leading by Example,” we launched our Code of Conduct for suppliers, through which we seek a resilient supply chain and extends our commitment to respecting human rights, labor rights and environmental responsibility across our supply chain. Signing this Code of Conduct is mandatory to establish a business relationship, demonstrating our commitment to ethical business management. We aim to strengthen our governance of ESG issues through our Sustainability Committee, made up of senior executives from various areas, which reviews and monitors ESG performance throughout the year. Additionally, we have Working Groups, which execute the actions of the sustainability plan and provide the necessary information so the Sustainability Committee can make timely decisions. We have a continuous strategic risk management process at the corporate level, which allows us to identify, evaluate, treat, monitor and communicate socio-political, environmental, social, economic and health risks and opportunities. Under the supervision of the Audit Committee, the Corporate Risk Management Office presents the results of these processes. Our progress in sustainability is the result of a continuous process of reviewing policies and programs, focused on improving our corporate management and aligned with best international practices, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Just as we pursue excellence in all aspects of the business, our sustainability strategy is constantly evolving. The year 2024 was a year of a deep introspection towards the company’s priorities. In light of the integration and Spin-off of the group, we carried out a new Materiality Analysis with an aim to focus our efforts on the interests of our stakeholders. We are working to make 2025 a year in which business-sustainability integration is consolidated. We established a feedback scheme with all operational areas, improving collaboration and generating synergies that will materialize in a more resilient company, which adds value not only to its investors, but also to our communities and the environment. We are confident that, together with our stakeholders and the company’s leadership, we will be able to bring our purpose to life, create shared prosperity and thus continue bringing people closer to what matters most to them. |

26 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Set forth below are our consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. As required by reg-ulations issued by Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Va-lores, or the Mexican Bank and Securities Commission, for listed companies in Mexico, our financial information is presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS” Accounting Standards) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for financial reporting purposes. The financial in-formation set forth below should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 in-cluded in this annual report. On October 27, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a pro-posal to spin-off the most of businesses of our former Other Businesses segment (the “Spun-off Businesses”), which was approved by our shareholders at the meeting held on April 26, 2023. This proposal was carried out through a spin-off, which became effective on January 31, 2024, creating Ollamani, which holds the Spun-off Businesses and has the same shareholding structure as the Company. Ollamani began trading separately from the Company on the Mexican Stock Exchange on February 20, 2024. The businesses of Cable and Sky, our investment in TelevisaUnivision, broad-casting concessions and infrastructure, as well as other as-sets and real estate related to these businesses, remained in the Company. Our consolidated financial statements have been pre-pared to reflect the discontinued operations following the Spin-off. Accordingly, our consolidated statement of income for any comparative period presented has been re-presented from that originally reported by the Compa-ny, to present in such period the results from discontinued operations of the Spun-off Businesses.

TELEVISA 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 29 OVERVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues Revenues decreased by Ps.3,961.9 million, or 6.0%, to Ps.62,260.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.66,222.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to a revenue decline in the Sky and Cable segments. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues decreased by Ps.1,019.6 million, or 4.0%, to Ps.24,761.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.25,781.1 million for the year ended Decem-ber 31, 2023. The decrease mainly reflects lower costs in our Sky segment. Selling Expenses Selling expenses increased by Ps.44.2 million, or 0.5%, to Ps.8,654.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.8,610.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to higher selling expenses in our Cable segment, partially offset by a decrease in selling expenses in our Sky segment. Administrative and Corporate Expenses Administrative and corporate expenses decreased by Ps.1,354.5 million, or 17.0%, to Ps.6,597.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.7,952.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease mainly re-flects lower administrative expenses in the Cable and Sky segments, as well as a decrease in corporate expenses. Corporate expenses decreased by Ps.275.2 million, or 26.7%, to Ps.756.0 million in 2024, from Ps.1,031.2 million in 2023. The decrease reflected primarily a lower share-based compensation expense, as well as a decrease in other non-allocated corporate expenses. Share-based compensation expense in 2024 and 2023 amounted to Ps.488.8 million and Ps.739.8 million, re-spectively, 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. |
30 Cable Cable revenues represented 75.6% and 73.5% of our seg-ment revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and decreased by Ps.1,409.4 mil-lion, or 2.9%, to Ps.47,393.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.48,802.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Total revenue generating units, or RGUs, of about 15.2 mil-lion for the year ended December 31, 2024. Total net ad-ditions for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased 207 thousand RGUs, due to decreased in our services of video and broadband. Cable operating segment income decreased by Ps.813.5 million, or 4.2%, to Ps.18,485.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.19,299.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the margin reached 39.0%. This decrease was primarily due to lower revenues, par-tially offset by a decrease in personnel costs, signal costs and maintenance costs. The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our Cable segment as of December 31, 2024, and 2023: 2024 2023 Video 3,846,518 4,059,494 Broadband 5,626,206 5,678,431 Voice 5,382,949 5,351,145 Mobile 333,973 307,807 RGUs 15,189,646 15,396,877 Sky Sky revenues represented 24.4% and 26.5% of our segment revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Sky revenue decreased by Ps.2,247.9 mil-lion, or 12.8%, to Ps.15,337.3 million for the year ended De-cember 31, 2024, from Ps.17,585.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was due to the decrease in the number of video and broadband RGUs for the year ended December 31, 2024. Total disconnections for the year ended December 31, 2024, were approximately 1,052.7 thousand RGUs. This was main-ly driven by the loss of 871.4 thousand video RGUs and 181.2 thousand broadband and mobile net disconnections. In addition, Sky closed the year with 97,809 video RGUs in Central America and the Dominican Republic. The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for Sky as of December 31, 2024, and 2023. 2024 2023 Video 4,696,038 5,567,426 Broadband 350,885 515,089 Voice 197 344 Mobile 15,501 32,502 RGUs 5,062,621 6,115,361 Sky operating segment income decreased by Ps.1,059.1 mil-lion, or 18.5%, to Ps.4,672.3 million for the year ended De-cember 31, 2024, from Ps.5,731.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the margin totaled 30.5%. This de-crease in the operating segment income was due to the lower revenue, which was partially offset by a decrease in programming costs, sales promotion and personnel costs. |
TELEVISA 2024 ANNUAL REPORT 31 Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by Ps.596.4 million, or 2.8%, to Ps.20,510.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.21,107.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primar-ily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in our Sky segment. Other Expense, Net Other expense, net, increased by Ps.3,641.1 million, to Ps.4,554.9 million in 2024, from Ps.913.8 million in 2023. This increase reflected primarily non-cash items includ-ing (i) non-cash impairment adjustments in connection with goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived as-sets in our Sky segment and the Enterprise Operations within our Cable segment; (ii) a non-cash loss on dispos-al of property and equipment; (iii) surcharges recognized in 2024 for income taxes from prior years; and (iv) a net write-off of unrecoverable indirect taxes in 2024. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by (i) a non-cash gain on sale of property to certain companies in our former Other Businesses segment that we recognized on January 31, 2024, in connection with the spin-off that we carried out on that date; (ii) a decrease in non-recurring severance expense in connection with headcount reduc-tions in our Cable and Sky segments; and (iii) the absence in 2024 of other expense related to damage caused by Hurricane “Otis” in 2023 in our Cable segment. Operating Income or Loss Operating Income or Loss amounted to a loss of Ps.2,818.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from operat-ing income of Ps.1,857.8 million for the year ended Decem-ber 31, 2023. This change reflected primarily a decrease in revenues as well as an increase in other expense, net, and was partially offset by a decrease in costs of sales and de-creases in administrative and corporate expenses. NON-OPERATING RESULTS Finance Expense, Net Finance expense, net, significantly impacts our consoli-dated financial statements in periods of currency fluctu-ations. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, finance income or expense, net, reflects: • interest expense; • interest income; • foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to mon-etary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies; and • other finance income or expense, net, including gains or losses from derivative instruments. Our foreign exchange position is affected by our assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily U.S. dollars. We record a foreign exchange gain or loss if the exchange rate of the Mexican peso to the other currencies in which our monetary assets or liabilities are denominat-ed varies. Finance expense, net, decreased by Ps.150.8 million, or 3.1%, to Ps.4,695.1 million in 2024, from Ps.4,845.9 million in 2023. This decrease reflected (i) a Ps.163.7 million increase in interest income, explained primarily by both a higher average amount of cash and cash equivalents in 2024, and higher interest rates for increased cash equivalents denominated in Mexican pesos in 2024; and (ii) a Ps.908.5 million favorable change in other finance income or loss, net, resulting from a net gain in fair value of our derivative contracts for the year ended December 31, 2024. These fa-vorable variances were partially offset by (i) a Ps.233.4 mil-lion increase in interest expense, primarily in connection with the absence in 2024 of a net finance income related to the repurchase and prepayment of long-term debt in 2023, which was partially offset by lower interest expense resulting primarily from a lower average principal amount of debt in 2024; and (ii) a Ps.688.0 million increase in for-eign exchange loss, net, resulting primarily from a 23.2% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on an average U.S. dollar-denominated net liability posi-tion in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with a 13.1% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on an average U.S. dollar-denominated net asset position in the year ended December 31, 2023. Share of Loss of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net This line item reflects our equity participation in the oper-ating results and net assets of unconsolidated business-es in which we maintain an interest, but which we do not control. We recognize equity in losses of associates and joint ventures up to the amount of our initial investment, subsequent capital contributions and long-term loans, or beyond that amount when we have made guaranteed commitments in respect of obligations incurred by associ-ates and joint ventures. Share of loss of associates and joint ventures, net, de-creased by Ps.3,904.0 million, to Ps.182.6 million in 2024, from a Ps.4,086.6 million in 2023. This decrease reflected a lower share of loss of TelevisaUnivision for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily in connection with a lower amount of non-cash impairment adjustments for good-will and indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized by TelevisaUnivision in the fourth quarter of 2024. |
32 Share of loss of associates and joint ventures, net, for the year ended December 31, 2024, included primarily our share of loss of TelevisaUnivision. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased by Ps.1,672.1 million, to Ps.688.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from Ps.2,360.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease reflected primarily a lower amount of in-come tax expense in 2024, primarily in connection with the recognition of income taxes from prior years and the write-off of deferred income tax assets. The Mexican corporate income tax rate was 30% in each of the years 2024, 2023 and 2022. Income from Discontinued Operations, Net In connection with the Spin-off that we carried out on January 31, 2024, we began presenting the results of op-erations of the Spun-off Businesses as income from dis-continued operations in our consolidated statements of income for the period of one month ended January 31, 2024, and for any comparative period presented. We recognized income from discontinued operations in the amount of Ps.56.8 million and Ps.628.1 million for the month ended January 31, 2024 and the year ended De-cember 31, 2023, respectively, reflecting the consolidated net income of our Spun-off Businesses for those periods. Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests reflects that portion of operating results attributable to the in-terests held by third parties in the businesses, which are not wholly-owned by us, primarily in our Cable segment. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests de-creased by Ps.321.7 million to Ps.62.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with Ps.384.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This de-crease reflected primarily a lower net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable segment. Net Loss Attributable to Stockholders of the Company Net loss attributable to stockholders of the Company amounted to Ps.8,265.5 million for the year ended De-cember 31, 2024, compared with Ps.8,422.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of Ps.157.2 million, reflected: I. a Ps.150.8 million decrease in finance expense, net; II. a Ps.3,904.0 million decrease in share of loss of asso-ciates and joint ventures, net; and III. a Ps.1,672.1 million decrease in income taxes. These favorable variances were partially offset by: I. a Ps.1,035.6 million decrease in operating income be-fore other expense; II. a Ps.3,641.1 million increase in other expense, net, pri-marily in connection with non-cash impairment ad-justments of intangible assets and other long-lived assets in our Sky and Cable segments; III. a Ps.571.3 million decrease in income from discontin-ued operations; and IV. a Ps.321.7 million decrease in net loss attributable to non-controlling interests. Capital Expenditures and Investments During 2024, we: • made aggregate capital expenditures for proper-ty, plant and equipment totaling approximately U.S.$493.0 million, of which approximately U.S.$399.2 million are for our Cable segment, U.S.$83.3 million are for our Sky segment, and the remaining amount was for our other corporate businesses; and • provided financing to Grupo de Telecomunicaciones de Alta Capacidad, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“GTAC”) in connec-tion with long-term credit facilities and our 33.3% in-terest in GTAC in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.128.9 million (U.S.$7.0 million). During 2023, we: • made aggregate capital expenditures for proper-ty, plant and equipment totaling approximately U.S.$828.5 million, of which approximately U.S.$633.0 million are for our Cable segment, U.S.$149.2 million are for our Sky segment, and the remaining amount was for our Other Businesses segment; and • provided financing to GTAC in connection with long-term credit facilities and our 33.3% interest in GTAC in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.155.1 million (U.S.$8.8 million). |
