Advertising
Advertising revenue decreased by 8.9% to Ps.5,479.6 million compared with Ps.6,015.4 million in the third-quarter 2014. The drop primarily resulted from the restructuring of our advertising sales efforts and the initial reaction from our advertising customers as we update our terms and conditions.
|
|||||||||||||
Network Subscription Revenue
Third-quarter Network Subscription Revenue increased by 30.1% to Ps.934.7 million compared with Ps.718.5 million in the third-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 third-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. Ten of the top 30 pay-TV networks in Mexico were produced by Televisa.
Licensing and Syndication
Licensing and Syndication revenue increased by 25.8% to Ps.2,211.0 million compared with Ps.1,757.9 million in the third-quarter 2014. The increase is explained mainly by a positive translation effect on foreign-currency denominated revenues. Third-quarter royalties from Univision increased by 2.6% to US$89.6 million in the third-quarter 2015 from US$87.4 million in the third-quarter 2014. The other revenue components of Licensing and Syndication, royalties from Netflix and exports to the rest of the world, remained relatively stable.
|
|||||||||||||
Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 0.5% to Ps.4,021.7 million compared with Ps.4,042.0 million in the third-quarter 2014; the margin was 46.6%. The drop in the margin of 100 basis points from same quarter last year is mainly explained by i) the drop in our advertising revenues; and ii) an increase in programming costs. This effect was partially compensated by the absence of production costs related to the 2014 World Cup.
|
|||||||||||||
Sky
|
Third-quarter sales grew by 9.3% to Ps.4,894.8 million compared with Ps.4,476.8 million in the third-quarter 2014. The increase was driven by solid growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained by the continued success of Sky's low-cost offerings. The number of net active subscribers increased by 166,303 during the quarter to 7,053,731 as of September 30, 2015, of which 189,168 are in Central America and the Dominican Republic, compared with 6,517,735 as of September 30, 2014.
|
||||||||||||
Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 9.1% to Ps.2,332.2 million compared with Ps.2,136.9 million in the third-quarter 2014, and the margin was 47.6% in line with the margin reported in the same quarter last year. During the quarter, Sky experienced mainly higher programming and maintenance costs, and higher promotion expenses; which were partially compensated by lower personnel costs and marketing expenses.
|
|||||||||||||
Telecommunications
|
Third-quarter sales increased by 37.5% to Ps.7,294.3 million compared with Ps.5,305.1 million in the third-quarter 2014 driven by growth in all of our cable platforms and the consolidation, for the full quarter, of Ps.1,632.1 million revenues from Cablecom and Telecable. Excluding Cablecom and Telecable, third-quarter sales from our cable and network operations increased by 13.8%.
Voice and data revenue generating units, or RGUs, grew by 52.5% and 33.9% compared with the third-quarter 2014, respectively, and video RGUs grew by 19.2%. Excluding the acquisition of Telecable, Voice and Data RGUs, grew by 45.0% and 25.7% compared with the third-quarter 2014, respectively, while Video RGUs grew by 5.0%.

Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 50.1% to Ps.2,973.4 million compared with Ps.1,981.6 million in the third-quarter 2014, and the margin reached 40.8%, an increase of 340 basis points from the same quarter last year. These results primarily reflect the consolidation of Cablecom and Telecable, which contributed with Ps.808.2 million to operating segment income in the third-quarter 2015, continued growth in the cable platforms and Bestel, and lower telecom equipment costs. These favorable variances were partially offset by the increase in maintenance costs, programming costs, leasing expenses, and personnel costs and expenses during the quarter. Excluding Cablecom and Telecable, for the full quarter, operating segment income increased by 18.7%.
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 2015 and 2014.
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 increased by 3.7% to Ps.2,008.7 million compared with Ps.1,936.6 million in the third-quarter 2014. This increase is explained mainly by i) an increase in the revenues of our feature-film distribution business in Mexico and the United States; and ii) an increase in the revenues of our gaming business, as a result of an increase in the number of electronic gaming machines. This effect was partially compensated by a decrease in the revenues of our publishing distribution business and our soccer business.
|
||||||||||||
Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 70.4% to Ps.258.4 million compared with Ps.151.6 million in the third-quarter 2014, and the margin reached 12.9%. These results reflect a smaller operating segment loss in our feature-film distribution business, as well as an increase in the operating segment income of our gaming, and soccer businesses. This effect was partially compensated by an increase in the operating segment loss of our publishing business.
