a Ps.105.4 million increase in other expense, net.

Second quarter sales increased by 5.9% to Ps.11,981.6 million compared with Ps.11,308.8 million in the second quarter of 2020
driven by solid net additions in broadband and voice over the last 12-months.
Second quarter operating segment income increased by 7.8% to Ps.5,020.1 million compared with Ps.4,656.5 million in the second
quarter of 2020. Margin was 41.9%, expanding by 70bps compared to the second quarter of 2020, driven by higher profitability at both our MSO and Enterprise operations.

These results do not include consolidation adjustments of Ps.448.2 million in revenues nor Ps.128.2 million in operating segment income
for the second quarter of 2021, neither the consolidation adjustments of Ps.409.1 million in revenues nor Ps.143.7 million in operating segment income for the second quarter of 2020. Consolidation adjustments are considered in the
consolidated results of the Cable segment |
Second quarter sales and operating segment income in our MSO operations increased by 6.4% and 7.2%, respectively. Second quarter sales and operating segment income in
our Enterprise operations increased by 4.3% and 7.6%, respectively.

Sky

707.1 thousand. In addition, Sky added 7.7 thousand and 2.5 thousand mobile and video RGUs, respectively.

Second quarter sales increased by 1.0% to Ps.5,570.1 million compared with Ps. 5,514.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, as
the growth in broadband RGUs was partially offset by lower recharges at our prepaid video service now that social distancing measures related to COVID-19 have been eased. This has lead the Mexican population to be out of home more often, demanding
less in-home entertainment alternatives.
Second quarter operating segment income decreased by 3.4%, reaching Ps.2,242.7 million compared with Ps.2,321.4 million in the
second quarter of 2020. The lower margin of 40.3% was driven by the amortization of certain sporting events, such as the CONMEBOL America Cup 2021 in Brazil and the European Championship.

Second quarter sales increased by 16.6% to Ps.7,856.8 million compared with Ps.6,740.6 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Advertising
Second quarter Advertising sales increased by 32.1% to Ps.3,860.2 million compared with Ps.2,922.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 due to a solid rebound in
volumes from the private sector, where businesses are looking to position their products and services in front of consumers to take advantage of the economic recovery.
5
Network Subscription
Second quarter Network Subscription sales decreased by 5.1% to Ps.1,329.6 million compared with Ps.1,400.7 million in the second quarter of 2020.
Licensing and Syndication
Second quarter Licensing and Syndication sales increased by 10.3% to Ps.2,667.0 million from Ps.2,417.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. We estimate that royalties
from Univision reached U.S.$100.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with U.S.$79.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. Growth of 26.2% year-on-year was supported by the strong economic recovery in the United States, the transmission
of major soccer tournaments and by several initiatives implemented by the management to optimize Univision’s advertising inventory.
Second quarter operating segment income increased by 23.5% to Ps.2,569.2 million compared with Ps.2,080.8 million in the second
quarter of 2020. This increase is mainly explained by the strong growth in revenue. Content margin expanded by 180 basis points to 32.7% despite additional operational expenditures
associated with coverage of the elections of June 6th, more production of content and payment of sporting rights. In 2020, the COVID-19 lockdowns led us to have less content production costs as we broadcasted several re-runs, and paid less
in sporting rights as many sporting events were cancelled.
Other Businesses
Second quarter sales increased by 115.2% to Ps.1,220.2 million compared with Ps.567.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 as
we have been gradually reopening our other businesses venues with limited capacity now that social distancing measures related to COVID-19 have been partially lifted.
Second quarter operating segment income was Ps.273.5 million compared with a loss of Ps.422.4 million in the second quarter of
2020.
Corporate Expense
Corporate expense increased by Ps.115.9 million, or 31.7%, to Ps.481.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, from Ps.366.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. The
increase reflected primarily a higher share-based compensation expense.
Share-based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 amounted to Ps.276.0 million and Ps.193.9 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.
6
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net, increased by Ps.105.4 million, or 35.9%, to Ps.398.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, from Ps.293.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. This
increase reflected primarily:
|
I.
|
Surcharges incurred by two companies in our Sky and Cable segments resulting from income tax assessments from prior years; and
|
|
II.
|
The absence in 2021 of a non-recurring income in connection with a cash reimbursement in the second quarter of 2020 from Imagina Media Audiovisual, S.L., a
former associate of the Company.
|
These unfavorable variances were partially offset by:
|
I.
|
A lower loss on disposition of property and equipment; and
|
|
II.
|
A decrease in non-recurrent severance expense in connection with dismissals of personnel.
|

The finance expense, net, increased by Ps.564.5 million, to a Ps.653.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from a Ps.88.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. This
increase reflected primarily:
|
I.
|
A Ps.460.2 million decrease in foreign exchange gain, net, resulting primarily from a 2.9% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on a higher
average net U.S. dollar liability position in the second-quarter of 2021, compared with a 3.5% appreciation in the second-quarter of 2020;
|
7
|
II.
|
A Ps.597.2 million increase in other finance expense, net, resulting from a higher loss in fair value of our derivative contracts in the second quarter of
2021; and
|
|
III.
|
A Ps.186.1 million decrease in interest income explained primarily by a lower average amount of cash and cash equivalents in the second quarter of 2021.
|
These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.679.0 million decrease in interest expense, primarily due to a lower average of principal amount of debt in the
second quarter of 2021.
Share of Income of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net
Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, increased by Ps.751.6 million, to Ps.889.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 from Ps.137.6 million in the
second quarter of 2020. This increase reflected mainly a higher equity stake in Univision Holdings II, Inc. or UHI II (the successor company of Univision Holdings, Inc. or “UHI”), the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc.
(“Univision”), from 10% in the second quarter of 2020 to approximately 36% on a fully-diluted basis in the second quarter of 2021, as well as a higher net income of UHI II in the second quarter of 2021.
Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, for the second quarter of 2021, includes primarily our share of income of UHI II.
Income Taxes
Income taxes increased by Ps.1,047.5 million to Ps.1,800.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with Ps.752.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. This
increase reflected a higher effective income tax rate, as well as a higher income tax base. Our effective income tax rate increased in the second quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of additional income taxes of two companies in our Sky and Cable
segments from prior years.
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Ps.10.1 million, or 4.0%, to Ps.239.8 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared with Ps.249.9
million in the second quarter of 2020. This decrease reflected primarily a lower portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Sky segment, which was partially offset by the absence in the second quarter of 2021 of net loss
attributable to a non-controlling interest in our former Radio business, which was disposed of by us in the third-quarter of 2020.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the second quarter of 2021, includes primarily net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable
and Sky segments.

Capital Expenditures
During the second quarter of 2021, we invested approximately U.S.$280.1 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. The following table sets forth
the breakdown by segment of capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, in millions of U.S. dollars. Our plan to pass 2 million homes with fiber-to-the home (FTTH) is on track, explaining the capital expenditures increase in our
Cable segment.

Transaction Agreement with UHI
On April 13, 2021, we and UHI announced a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) in which our content and media assets will be combined with UHI, and we
will continue to participate in UHI by remaining the largest shareholder in UHI, with an equity stake of approximately 45% following the closing of the transaction. We will also retain ownership of our Cable, Sky and Other Businesses segments, as
well as the main real estate associated with the production facilities, the broadcasting concessions and transmission infrastructure in Mexico.
In connection with this transaction, our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of UHI have approved the combination. The transaction, which was also approved by
the Company’s stockholders on May 24, 2021, is expected to close in 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals primarily in the United States and Mexico.
We will continue to consolidate the results of our Content business until we cease to have control of this business segment, in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Agreement. Also, we will continue to present our Content business as a reportable segment of continuing operations until the assets and liabilities to be combined become available for immediate disposal following certain reorganization
activities contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.
Reorganization of UHI
On May 18, 2021, UHI concluded a reorganization pursuant to which, among other things, Univision Holdings II, Inc. or UHI II was created as a new holding company that
owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UHI. In connection with this reorganization, we exchanged all of our shares of the capital stock of UHI for the same number and class of newly issued shares of UHI II. As a result, beginning on
that date, we own an equity interest in the capital stock of UHI II, the controlling company of Univision, of approximately 36% on a fully-diluted basis.

finance costs in the amount of Ps.1,265.7 million and Ps.1,324.3 million, respectively. |
|||
As of June 30, 2021, our consolidated net debt position (total debt and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, and non-current
investments in financial instruments) was Ps.100,113.2 million. As of June 30, 2021, the non-current investments in financial instruments amounted to an aggregate of Ps.4,600.1 million.
Dividend
In April 2021, our stockholders approved the payment of a dividend of Ps.0.35 per CPO and Ps.0.002991452991 per share of Series “A”, “B”, “D” and “L” Shares, not in the
form of a CPO, which was paid in cash in May 2021 in the aggregate amount of Ps.1,053.4 million.
Shares Outstanding
In April 2021, our stockholders approved the cancellation in May 2021 of 5,173.2 million shares of our capital stock in the form of 44.2 million CPOs, which were
repurchased by us in 2019 and 2020.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our shares outstanding amounted to 327,155.8 million and 325,992.5 million shares, respectively, and our CPO equivalents
outstanding amounted to 2,796.2 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 559.2 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 second quarter of 2021, Televisa was has ratified as a constituent of the S&P/BMV Total Mexico ESG Index, developed by S&P Dow Jones and the Mexican
Stock Exchange. The index is designed to measure the performance of stocks that meet certain sustainability criteria. It uses a rules-based selection criteria based on relevant environmental, social, and corporate governance principles to choose its
constituents.
COVID-19 Impact
For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic still had a negative effect in our business, financial position and results of
operations, 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 continued, 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 non-essential economic activities are open, and the authorities have started to lift limitations on capacity and hours of operation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
quarter ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2021, we continued with the production of new content following the requirements and health guidelines imposed by the Mexican
Government. Our Content business continued to recover as a result of the easing in lockdown restrictions in most jurisdictions in which our customers are located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are partially dependent on the demand for
advertising from consumer-focused companies, and even though most of our customers have increased their advertising investments compared to the second quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic could cause advertisers to again 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 produce, organize, promote and/or are located in
venues we own, are operating with some restrictions and taking the corresponding sanitary measures, and to date 17 of our 18 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.
11
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.
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.
