Consolidated Results
 
Mexico City, D.F., July 16, 2009—Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or “the Company”), today announced results for second quarter 2009. The results have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (Mexican FRS).
 
The following table sets forth a condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, in millions of Mexican pesos, as well as the percentage of net sales that each line represents and the percentage change when comparing 2009 with 2008:

Consolidated net sales increased 10.2% to Ps.12,676.9 million in second quarter 2009 compared with Ps.11,503.6 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was attributable to revenue growth in our Cable and Telecom, Pay Television Networks, Sky, Programming Exports, Other Businesses, and Television Broadcasting segments.
 
Consolidated operating income increased 3.2% to Ps.4,136.5 million in second quarter 2009 compared with Ps.4,008.4 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was attributable to higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales, operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
 
Controlling interest net income decreased 0.7% to Ps.1,826.9 million in second quarter 2009 compared with Ps.1,840.7 million in second quarter 2008. The net decrease of Ps.13.8 million reflected primarily a Ps.612 million increase in integral cost of financing and a Ps.31.1 million increase in equity in losses of affiliates, net. These unfavorable variances were offset by i) a Ps.128.1 million increase in operating income; ii) a Ps.317.4 million decrease in other expense, net; iii) a Ps.25.5 million decrease in income taxes; and iv) a Ps.158.3 million decrease in noncontrolling interest net income.

Television
Broadcasting
Second-quarter sales increased 0.2% to Ps.5,301.5 million compared with Ps.5,290.9 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was achieved in spite of the Easter holiday falling in this quarter and was driven by i) the broadcast of certain special events such as Mujeres de Valor and Hazlo por ti; ii) strong ratings in our reality shows; and iii) strong ratings during the transmission of sport events.
 
Second-quarter operating segment income decreased marginally 0.3% to Ps.2,698.1 million compared with Ps.2,707.1 million in second quarter 2008, and the margin was 50.9%. These results reflect higher cost of sales related mainly to programming acquired in foreign currency that were partially offset by higher sales.
Pay Television Networks
Second-quarter sales increased 35.7% to Ps.698.6 million compared with Ps.514.7 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was attributable to i) higher revenues from channels sold to pay-television systems in Mexico, Latin America and TuTV, our pay-television joint venture with Univision; ii) the positive translation effect of foreign-currency-denominated sales; and iii) higher advertising sales.
 
Second-quarter operating segment income increased 40.2% to Ps.462.5 million compared with Ps.329.9 million in second quarter 2008, and the margin increased to 66.2%, reflecting higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses
Programming Exports
Second-quarter sales increased 11.8% to Ps.638.5 million compared with Ps.571.2 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was driven primarily by a positive translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated sales amounting to Ps.151.3 million. This was partially offset by i) an 8.6% decrease in royalties from Univision, which amounted to US$36.1 million for the quarter; and ii) lower programming sales to Latin America and Europe. The amount of royalties includes an estimated payment for the month of June because the actual amount has not yet been reported by Univision.
 
Second-quarter operating segment income increased 11.1% to Ps.294.3 million compared with Ps.265 million in second quarter 2008, and the margin was 46.1%. These results were driven by higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses.
Publishing
Second-quarter sales decreased 8.4% to Ps.849 million compared with Ps.927.3 million in second quarter 2008. These results reflect a decrease in revenues from a lower number of advertising pages sold as well as a decline in magazine circulation in Mexico and abroad. These unfavorable variances were partially compensated by a positive translation effect of foreign-currency-denominated sales amounting to Ps.101.5 million.
 
Second-quarter operating segment income decreased 24.1% to Ps.131.9 million, compared with Ps.173.7 million in second quarter 2008; the margin was 15.5%. These results were driven by lower sales, which were partially compensated by lower cost of sales and operating expenses.
Sky
Second-quarter sales increased 7.5% to Ps.2,443.5 million compared with Ps.2,272.5 million in second quarter 2008. During the second quarter, Sky faced increased and aggressive competition in Mexico and a slowdown in economic activity. The subscriber base as of June 30, 2009, reached 1,793,388 (including 137,807 commercial subscribers). Sky closed the quarter with 128,879 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
 
Second-quarter operating segment income increased 1% to Ps.1,142 million compared with Ps.1,130.6 million in second quarter 2008, and the margin was 46.7%. These results reflect higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses driven mainly by a negative translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated costs.
Cable and Telecom
Second-quarter sales increased 55% to Ps.2,182.5 million compared with Ps.1,408 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was attributable to i) a 19.4% increase in sales of Cablevisión, driven mainly by a 19.6% increase in revenue generating units (RGUs); and ii) the consolidation of Cablemás starting June 2008, which represented incremental revenue of Ps.642.7 million for second quarter 2009. These favorable variances were partially offset by a marginal decrease in Bestel’s sales by Ps.5 million to Ps.445.5 million.
 
Second-quarter operating segment income increased 67.5% to Ps.753.6 million compared with Ps.450 million in second quarter 2008, and the margin increased to 34.5%. These results reflect higher sales and the consolidation of Cablemás, which represented incremental operating segment income of Ps.219 million for the quarter. These favorable variances were partially offset by an increase in cost of sales as well as programming expenses, which are denominated mainly in foreign currency. Bestel’s operating segment income increased Ps.19.6 million to Ps.76.2 million, primarily as a result of a reduction in the cost of sales.
 
The following table sets forth the breakdown of subscribers for each of our three cable and telecom investments, including Cablevisión de Monterrey (“TVI”), which we report under the equity method. We also include operating highlights for Cablevisión and Cablemás stated in millions of Mexican pesos.

Other Businesses
Second-quarter sales increased 6.4% to Ps.862.5 million compared with Ps.810.3 million in second quarter 2008. This increase was attributable to higher sales in our Gaming, Online, and Feature-Film Distribution businesses. These increases were partially offset by lower sales in our Publishing Distribution, Radio and Soccer businesses.
 
Second-quarter operating segment loss reached Ps.29.1 million compared with Ps.1.7 million in second quarter 2008, reflecting higher cost of sales and operating expenses related mainly to our Gaming and Soccer divisions.
 
Corporate Expenses
Share-based compensation expense in second quarter 2009 and 2008 amounted to Ps.94.2 million and Ps.26.5 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 granted to officers and employees, and is recognized over the vesting period.
 
Non-Operating Results
 
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, in second quarter 2009, included primarily provisions for certain non-trade receivables, donations, professional services in connection with certain litigation, and loss on disposition of assets.
 
Other expense, net, decreased by Ps.317.4 million, or 61%, to Ps.202.7 million for second quarter 2009, compared with Ps.520.1 million for second quarter 2008. This decrease primarily reflected the absence of an impairment adjustment to goodwill recognized in second quarter 2008 related to the operations of our television station in San Diego, California.
 
Integral cost of financing
The following table sets forth integral cost of financing stated in millions of Mexican pesos for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The net expense attributable to integral cost of financing increased by Ps.612 million, to Ps.828.2 million for second quarter 2009 from Ps.216.2 million for second quarter 2008. This increase reflected primarily i) a Ps.255 million increase in interest expense, due mainly to a higher average principal amount of long-term debt in second quarter 2009; ii) a Ps.96.2 million decrease in interest income explained primarily by a reduction of interest rates applicable to cash equivalents and temporary investments in second quarter 2009; and iii) a Ps.260.8 million increase in foreign-exchange loss resulting mainly from unfavorable variances in foreign-currency derivatives in connection with a 7.2% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the second quarter 2009.
 
Equity in losses of affiliates, net
Equity in losses of affiliates, net, increased by Ps.31.1 million, or 29.7%, to Ps.135.7 million in second quarter 2009 compared with Ps.104.6 million in second quarter 2008. This increase reflected mostly an increase in equity in loss of La Sexta, our 40.5% interest in a free-to-air television channel in Spain, which was partially offset by a reduction in equity in loss of Volaris, our 25% interest in a low-cost carrier airline.
 
Income taxes
Income taxes decreased by Ps.25.5 million, or 3%, to Ps.823 million in second quarter 2009 from Ps.848.5 million in second quarter 2008. This decrease reflected principally a lower corporate income tax base.
 
Noncontrolling interest net income
Noncontrolling interest net income decreased by Ps.158.3 million, or 33.1%, to Ps.320 million in second quarter 2009, from Ps.478.3 million in second quarter 2008. This decrease reflected essentially a lower portion of consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interests held by minority equity owners in our Sky segment and minority stockholders in our Cable and Telecom segment.

Capital expenditures and investments
During second-quarter 2009, we invested approximately US$68 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures, including approximately US$37.2 million for our Cable and Telecom segment, US$17.2 million for our Sky segment, US$3.2 million for our Gaming business, and US$10.4 million for our Television Broadcasting segment and other businesses.

As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, our shares outstanding amounted to 329,605 million and 329,633.1 million shares, respectively; and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,817.1 million and 2,817.4 million CPO equivalents, respectively. Not all of our shares are in the form of CPOs. The number of CPO equivalents was calculated by dividing the number of shares by 117.

As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 563.4 million and 563.5 million GDS equivalents, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents was calculated by dividing the number of CPO equivalents by five.
 
Television ratings and audience share
National urban ratings and audience share reported by IBOPE confirm that, in second-quarter 2009, Televisa continued to deliver strong ratings and audience shares. During weekday prime time (19:00 to 23:00, Monday to Friday), average audience share amounted to 71.7%; in prime time (16:00 to 23:00, Monday to Sunday), average audience share amounted to 69.4%; and in sign-on to sign-off (6:00 to 24:00, Monday to Sunday), average audience share amounted to 70.1%.

1 National urban ratings and audience share are certified by IBOPE and are based upon IBOPE's national surveys, which are calculated seven days a week, in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and 25 other cities with a population of more than 500,000 people. “Ratings” for a period refers to the number of television sets tuned into the Company’s programs as a percentage of the total number of all television households. “Audience share” is the number of television sets tuned into the Company's programs as a percentage of the number of households watching conventional over-the-air television during that period, without regard to the number of viewers.
 
2 "Total Televisa" includes the Company's four networks as well as all local affiliates (including affiliates of Channel 4, most of which receive only a portion of their daily programming from Channel 4). Programming on affiliates of Channel 4 is generally broadcast in 12 of the 28 cities covered by national surveys. Programming on Channel 9 affiliates is broadcast in all of the cities covered by national surveys.
 
3 "Televisa Prime Time" is the time during which the Company generally charges its highest rates for its networks.
