Licensing and Syndication
First-quarter Licensing and Syndication sales decreased by 2.3% to Ps.2,696.4 million from Ps.2,760.4 million in the first-quarter of 2020. Royalties from Univision reached U.S.$96.5 million in the first-quarter of
2021 compared to U.S.$97.6 million in the first-quarter of 2020.
First-quarter operating segment income increased by 47.3% to Ps.2,376.5 million compared
with Ps.1,613.9 million in the first-quarter of 2020, while the margin was 32.0%.
Other Businesses
Other Businesses were affected by the closing of the economy and measures triggered in response to COVID-19, which included the suspension or limitation of activities in some businesses of this segment.
First-quarter sales decreased by 45.8% to Ps.951.5 million compared with Ps.1,756.5 million
in the first-quarter of 2020.
First-quarter operating segment income decreased by 96.7% to Ps.12.1 million compared with
Ps.371.0 million in the first-quarter of 2020.
Corporate Expense
Corporate expense increased by Ps.75.6 million, or 17.8%, to Ps.499.4 million in the first-quarter of 2021, from Ps.423.8 million in the first-quarter of 2020. This increase reflected primarily a higher share-based
compensation expense.
Share-based compensation expense in the first-quarter of 2021 and 2020, amounted to Ps.258.4 million and Ps.209.1 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. The net increase of Ps.49.3 million, or 23.6%, reflected an increase in equity benefits conditionally
sold, as well as an increase in the market price of our CPO in the last 12-months.
Other Income or Expense, Net
Other income or expense, net, changed by Ps.437.8 million, to other expense, net, of Ps.152.9 million in the first-quarter of 2021, from other income, net, of Ps.284.9 million in the first-quarter of 2020. This change
reflected primarily:
| I. |
the absence in 2021 of a non-cash Ps.386.0 million income that resulted from a decrease in a provision for an appreciation payment arrangement between Televisa and a related party;
|
| II. |
a higher loss on disposition of property and equipment; and
|
| III. |
an increase in expense to prevent COVID-19.
|
6
These unfavorable variances were partially offset by:
| I. |
a decrease in non-recurrent severance expense in connection with dismissals of personnel; and
|
| II. |
the absence in 2021 of other expense related to a compensation plan for certain officers of our Cable segment.
|
Other expense, net, in the first-quarter of 2021, included expense related to legal and financial advisory and professional services, expense to prevent COVID-19, loss on disposition of property and equipment, and
non-recurrent severance expense in connection with dismissals of personnel.

This decrease reflected:
| I. |
a Ps.6,878.0 million decrease in foreign exchange loss, net, resulting primarily from a 2.6% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on a higher average net U.S. dollar liability position in the first-quarter of 2021, in
comparison with a 26.4% depreciation in the first-quarter of 2020; and
|
| II. |
a Ps.225.8 million decrease in interest expense, primarily due to a lower depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2021.
|
7
These favorable variances were partially offset by (i) a Ps.2,315.2 million unfavorable change in other finance income or expense, net, resulting primarily from changes in fair value of our derivative contracts; and
(ii) a Ps.102.6 decrease in interest income, primarily explained by a lower interest rate and a lower average amount of cash equivalents in the first-quarter of 2021.
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.5,400.4 million, to a share of income of Ps.51.8 million in the first-quarter of 2021, from a share of loss of Ps.5,348.6 million in the
first-quarter of 2020. This favorable change reflected mainly the absence in 2021 of an impairment loss in the amount of Ps.5,455.4 million that decreased the carrying value of our investment in shares of Univision Holdings Inc. (“UHI”) as of March
31, 2020. This favorable variance was partially offset by a lower share of income of UHI, the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc., and a share of loss of Ocesa Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V., a live entertainment company with
operations primarily in Mexico, in which we maintain a 40% interest.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit decreased by Ps.1,622.4 million, to Ps.103.5 million in the first-quarter of 2021, compared with an income tax benefit of Ps.1,725.9 million in the first-quarter of 2020. This decrease reflected
mainly a reduction of income tax losses of certain subsidiaries in the Company, resulting from a lower foreign exchange loss in the first-quarter of 2021.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Ps.489.6 million, to Ps.258.6 million in the first-quarter of 2021, compared with Ps.748.2 million in the first-quarter of 2020. This decrease
reflected primarily a lower portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Sky and Cable segments.
Capital Expenditures
During the first quarter of 2021, we invested approximately U.S.$275.1 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. The following table sets forth the breakdown by segment of capital expenditures
for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020.

(1) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total debt is presented net of finance costs in the amount of Ps.1,295.0 million and Ps.1,324.3 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021, 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.99,913.8 million. The aggregate amount of non-current investments in financial instruments included in our consolidated net debt position as of March 31, 2021, amounted to Ps.5,072.3 million.
Shares Outstanding
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our shares outstanding amounted to 325,518.6 million and 325,992.5 million shares, respectively, and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,782.2 million and 2,786.3
million CPO equivalents, respectively. Not all of our shares are in the form of CPOs. The number of CPO equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of shares outstanding by 117.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 556.4 million and 557.3 million GDS equivalents, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents is
calculated by dividing the number of CPO equivalents by five.
Sustainability
During the first quarter of 2021, Televisa announced that it has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), joining 1,000+ companies worldwide. The initiative drives ambitious climate action into the
private sector by enabling companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets, and it defines and promotes best practice in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science. Also, for the third consecutive year, the
Company has been selected as one of only five Mexican companies to be included in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI). With this, Bloomberg recognizes Televisa’s commitment to advancing gender equality and its continuous effort to build a
diverse workforce that promotes an inclusive culture.
9
In addition, for the fourth consecutive year, Televisa has received the Distintivo Empresa Socialmente Responsable 2021 (2021 Socially Responsible Company recognition), granted
by Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía (Mexican Center for Philanthropy), and Alianza por la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (Alliance for the Social
Responsibility of Businesses). The Distintivo Empresa Socialmente Responsable recognizes leading companies for their voluntary and public commitment to adding social value to their operations considering
their stakeholders.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business, financial position and results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and it is currently difficult to predict the degree of the impact
in the future.
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.
Although vaccination efforts have started countrywide since January 2021, the Mexican Government is still implementing the plan to reactivate economic activities in accordance with color-based
phases determined on a weekly basis in every state of the country. Most of non-essential economic activities are open with some limitations, mainly on capacity and hours of operation. However, a significant part of the population is still
implementing social distancing and shelter-in-place policies. As a result, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, this has affected, and is still affecting the ability of our employees, suppliers and customers to conduct their functions and
businesses in their typical manner.
As of this date, given that they are considered essential economic activities, we have continued operating our media and telecommunications businesses uninterrupted to continue benefiting the
country with connectivity, entertainment and information, and during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we continued with the production of new content following the requirements and health guidelines imposed by the Mexican Government. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2021 our Content business continued to recover as a result of the easing in lockdown restrictions in some jurisdictions in which our customers are located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 or postpone their advertisement spending on our platforms.
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, are operating with
some limitations and taking the corresponding sanitary measures, and to date some of our casinos have resumed operations with reduced capacity and hours of operation. When local authorities approve the re-opening of the venues that are still not
operating, rules may be enacted including capacity and operating hours restrictions; these may affect the results of our Other Businesses segment in the following months.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authorities may impose restrictions on non-essential activities, including but not limited to temporary shutdowns or additional guidelines which could be
expensive or burdensome to implement, which may affect our operations.
10
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.
