(1) The operating segment income margin is calculated as a percentage of segment net sales.

Net sales decreased by 0.7% to Ps.23,228.8 million in first-quarter 2020 compared with Ps.23,395.2 million in first-quarter 2019. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decline in Advertising sales. Operating segment income decreased by 7.1%, reaching Ps.8,709.2 million with a margin of 35.2%, mainly due to the decline in operating segment income of the Content segment.

Net loss attributable to stockholders of the Company amounted to Ps.9,651.9 million in first- quarter 2020, compared with a net income of Ps.541.7 million in first-quarter 2019.

The unfavorable change of Ps.10,193.6 million reflected:

  1. a Ps.6,433.5 million increase in finance expense, net, primarily as a result of the impact of the peso depreciation;
  2. a Ps.5,514.4 million decrease in share of income or loss of associates and joint ventures, net, primarily due to the non-cash adjustment in the carrying value of our interest in Univision;
  3. a Ps.582.1 million decrease in income before depreciation and amortization; and
  4. a Ps.431.8 million increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests.

These unfavorable variances were partially offset by:

  1. a Ps.2,229.9 million favorable change in income tax;
  2. a Ps.473.8 million favorable change in other income or expense, net; and
  3. a Ps.64.5 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.

Dividend

To further maximize liquidity and as a precautionary measure, we propose to suspend our 2020 dividend, subject to approval of the Company's stockholders.

1 For segment reporting purposes, intersegment operations are included in each of the segment operations.

  1. The assets and related liabilities of the Radio business are classified as held for sale in the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the net sales and the operating segment income associated with the Radio business, which was part of the Company's Other Businesses segment, are presented separately as held-for-sale operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transaction was consummated for legal and tax purposes.
  2. Operating segment income is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses, and other income (expense), net.
  3. As a result of IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16") adoption, intersegment operations related to intercompany leases were not eliminated on the Operating Segment Income level as in prior years.

Cable

Total net additions for the quarter were approximately 255.8 thousand RGUs. Quarterly growth was mainly driven by 121.1 thousand broadband net additions, the fastest pace of growth in broadband RGUs in seven quarters, and 145.5 thousand voice net additions. Video RGUs decreased by 10.8 thousand.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our Cable segment as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.

First-quartersales increased by 2.3% to Ps.5,405.3 million compared with Ps.5,281.6 million in first-quarter 2019, mainly explained by the growth in broadband RGUs.

First-quarteroperating segment income decreased by 3.2% to Ps.2,234.0 million compared with Ps.2,306.9 million in first-quarter 2019. The margin was 41.3%. The decline was due to the costs related to the commercial effort to grow Sky's broadband service and the lower margin that this service has.

Advertising

First-quarter advertising sales decreased by 28.4% to Ps.2,635.1 million compared with Ps.3,681.9 million in first-quarter 2019. The decrease in sales is substantially explained by the one-time change in the calendar for negotiations of our upfront, resulting in many advertising customers pushing back the startup of their advertising campaigns for the year with Televisa. It is also explained by a significant deterioration in growth expectations for Mexico triggered by the outbreak of COVID-19. As a result of the new level of uncertainty, many clients decided to pull back on advertising in the last two weeks of the quarter.

5

Network Subscription

First-quarter Network Subscription sales increased by 9.3% to Ps.1,332.1 million compared with Ps.1,218.3 million in first-quarter 2019. This increase is mainly related to a price increase and to the favorable impact of the depreciation of the Mexican peso on our dollar-denominated revenues.

Licensing and Syndication

First-quarter Licensing and Syndication sales increased by 20.8% to Ps.2,760.4 million from Ps.2,284.7 million in first-quarter 2019. Royalties from Univision reached U.S.$97.6 million in first- quarter 2020 compared to U.S.$88.0 million in first-quarter 2019.

First-quarteroperating segment income decreased by 28.8% to Ps.1,613.9 million compared with Ps.2,267.3 million in first-quarter 2019. This decrease is mainly explained by the drop in advertising sales. The margin was 24.0%.

Other Businesses

First-quartersales decreased by 16.5% to Ps.1,756.5 million compared with Ps.2,104.4 million in first-quarter 2019. The decrease is mainly explained by a decline in revenues in our soccer, gaming and publishing businesses, partially compensated by feature films distribution business.

First-quarteroperating segment income decreased by 26.3% to Ps.371.0 million compared with Ps.503.1 million in first-quarter 2019. The decline was mainly explained by a decrease in operating segment income in our soccer and gaming businesses, partially compensated by feature films distribution and publishing businesses.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense decreased by Ps.92.3 million, or 17.9%, to Ps.423.8 million in first-quarter 2020, from Ps.516.1 million in first-quarter 2019. This decrease reflected primarily a lower share- based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense in first-quarter 2020 and 2019, amounted to Ps.209.1 million and Ps.317.2 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 Income or Expense, Net

Other income or expense, net, changed by Ps.473.8 million, to other income, net, of Ps.284.9 million in first-quarter 2020, from other expense, net, of Ps.188.9 million in first-quarter 2019.

6

This change reflected primarily a non-cash Ps.386.0 million decrease in a provision for an appreciation payment arrangement between Televisa and a Univision Holdings, Inc. ("UHI") related party, in connection with the acquisition of the majority stock of UHI by new investors announced on February 25, 2020, and the decline in the estimated fair value of Televisa's investments in UHI as of March 31, 2020.

Additional favorable variances in first-quarter 2020, included lower loss on disposition of property and equipment, as well as a decrease in non-recurrent severance expense in connection with dismissals of personnel in our Content segment.

Finance expense, net, increased by Ps.6,433.5 million, to Ps.8,707.6 million in first-quarter 2020, from Ps.2,274.1 million in first-quarter 2019.

This increase reflected:

  1. a Ps.8,740.4 million unfavorable change resulting primarily from a 26.4% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in first-quarter 2020, in comparison with a 1.3% appreciation in first-quarter 2019, on a higher average net U.S. dollar liability position;
  1. a Ps.121.4 million increase in interest expense, primarily due to a higher average principal amount of debt in 2020; and
  1. a Ps.72.6 million decrease in interest income, primarily explained by a lower average amount of cash equivalents.

These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.2,500.9 million favorable change in other finance income or expense, net, resulting primarily from changes in fair value of our derivative contracts.

7

Share of Income or Loss of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of income or loss of associates and joint ventures, net, changed by Ps.5,514.4 million, to a share of loss of Ps.5,348.6 million in first-quarter 2020, from a share of income of Ps.165.8 million in first-quarter 2019. This unfavorable change reflected mainly:

  1. an impairment loss in the amount of Ps.5,455.4 million that decreased the carrying value of our investment in shares of UHI as of March 31, 2020, resulting from a decline in the estimated fair value of our investments in UHI as of that date (please refer to "Investments in warrants and shares of Univision" section for further information) ; and
  1. the absence of share of income of OCESA Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. ("OCEN"), a live entertainment company in Mexico, Central America and Colombia, as we classified this investment as held for sale as of July 31, 2019, and discontinued the recognition of share of income of OCEN beginning on August 1, 2019, in connection with an agreement to dispose of this associate, to be concluded subject to certain customary closing conditions.

These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a higher share of income of Univision Holdings, Inc. or UHI, the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc.

Investments in warrants and shares of Univision

In conjunction with the acquisition of the majority stock of UHI by a group of investors, which was announced on February 25, 2020, we reviewed the assumptions and inputs related to our discounted cash flow model used to determine the fair value of our investment in warrants and shares of UHI as of March 31, 2020. In addition, we retained the services of a third party to perform a valuation analysis. Based on these assessments and reviews, we recognized:

  1. a decline in the estimated fair value of Televisa's investment in warrants exercisable for shares of UHI as of March 31, 2020, in the amount of Ps.21,937.1 million, which was accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss ("OCI"), net of income tax of Ps.6,581.1 million, in Televisa's consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2020; and
  1. a decrease in the carrying value of Televisa's investment in shares of UHI as of March 31, 2020, in the amount of Ps.5,455.4 million, which was accounted for in share of income or loss of associates and joint ventures in the consolidated statement of income ("IS") for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

1This carrying value already considers the positive impact that the depreciation of the peso had, during first quarter 2020, on this dollar denominated investment.

Income Taxes

Income tax represented a benefit of Ps.1,725.9 million in first-quarter 2020, from an income tax expense of Ps.504.0 million in first-quarter 2019. This change reflected mainly the income tax losses of the Company and some of its subsidiaries, resulting from their foreign exchange loss in first-quarter 2020.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased by Ps.431.8 million, to Ps.748.2 million in first-quarter 2020, compared with Ps.316.4 million in first-quarter 2019. This increase reflected primarily a higher portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable and Sky segments.

Capital Expenditures

During first-quarter 2020, we invested approximately U.S.$227.4 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. The following table sets forth the breakdown of capital expenditures for first-quarter 2020 and 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, our consolidated net debt position (total debt and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, and certain non-current investments in financial instruments) was Ps.113,656.8 million. The aggregate amount of non-current investments in financial instruments included in our consolidated net debt position as of March 31, 2020, amounted to Ps.9,814.2 million.

On March 24, 2020, Televisa announced that it has drawn down Ps.14,771 million from its Revolving Credit Facility (the "Facility") as a prudent and precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global and local markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The Facility is scheduled to mature on March 26, 2022.

Radiópolis

In March 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with the acquirer of the Radio business to complete this transaction whereby we agreed, among other things, to modify the payment terms of the purchase price. We received Ps.603.4 million in cash in March 2020, and the remaining amount of Ps.644.6 million is expected by June 2020. While the sale of our 50% equity interest in the Radio business has been consummated for legal and tax purposes as of December 31, 2019, this transaction is considered as held for sale for financial reporting purposes as of March 31, 2020.

10

Shares Outstanding

Sustainability

During first quarter 2020, Televisa was included in three indices of the FTSE4Good Index Series: FTSE4Good Emerging Markets, FTSE4Good Emerging Latin America, and FTSE4Good BIVA. This is the fourth consecutive year Televisa has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series. In addition, for a third consecutive year, Televisa was recognized with the Socially Responsible Company award (Empresa Socialmente Responsable ESR) granted by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía or CEMEFI) and the Alliance for Corporate Social Responsibility (Alianza por la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial or AliaRSE).

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business, financial position and results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, and it is currently difficult to predict the degree of the impact on the second quarter and the remainder of 2020.

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 of our products across our segments as our clients and customers reduce or defer their spending.

The social distancing, shelter-in-place and other policies to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic that have been implemented or recommended by governmental entities in Mexico and other areas around the world have been affecting the ability of our employees, suppliers and customers to conduct their functions and businesses in their typical manner. The Mexican Government has ordered the suspension of all non-essential economic activities from March 30, 2020 through May 30, 2020 for most parts of Mexico, including the largest metropolitan areas. Media and telecommunications are not included in the suspension as they are considered essential economic activities. We have continued operating our essential businesses uninterrupted to continue benefiting the country with connectivity, entertainment and information, while also promoting the "stay at home" policy whenever possible, in order to take safety and cautionary measures for our employees. Our "Stay at home with Televisa" action plan aims to provide a comprehensive solution for two basic society member groups: audiences and brands. The policy promotes solidarity and support through promoting serenity, entertainment, and social union.

Our Content business has seen a reduction in the demand for advertising during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which may continue to be affected by the reduction in the level of economic activity in the jurisdictions in which our customers are located. We are partially dependent on the demand for advertising from consumer-focused companies, and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and could further cause, advertisers to reduce, postpone or, in a few cases, eliminate their advertisement spending on our platforms. In addition, much of our production of new content has been curtailed or suspended in response to social distancing and shutdown requirements and health guidelines.

In our Other Businesses segment, sporting and other entertainment events for which we have broadcast rights, or which we organize, promote and/or are located in venues we own, have been cancelled or postponed. Moreover, local authorities have enacted several rules pursuant to which they have instructed the temporary closing of non-essential businesses, including casinos, and as a result our gaming operations have been suspended until the cancellations of governmental measures imposed in the regions where our casinos are located.

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.
