During the second half of 2021 and 2020, the Group monitored the market associated with its Publishing business, which is classified into the Other Businesses segment, which has experienced a general slow-down in Latin America. Accordingly, the Group reduced its cash flow expectations for some of its foreign operations. As a result, the Group compared the fair value of the intangible assets in the reporting units with the related carrying amount and recorded an aggregate impairment charge in connection with trademarks Ps.40,803, in other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The key assumptions used for either fair value or value in use calculations of goodwill and intangible assets in 2021, were as follows (see Note 15):

Management has identified that a reasonable possible change in the key assumptions identified above could cause the carrying amount to exceed in 2021 the recoverable amount of one of the five CGUs with indefinite-life intangible assets tested for impairment. The change required for the carrying amount to equal the recoverable amount is a 2.8% increase in the discount rate (equivalent to a 30 basis point change) or a 2.0% decrease in the long term growth rate (equivalent to a 10 basis point change).

As described in Note 2 (l), in 2015, the Company’s management estimated the remaining useful life of four years for acquired trademarks in specific locations of Mexico, in connection with the migration to an internally developed trademark in the Group’s Cable segment.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s management reviewed the useful life of certain Group’s television concessions accounted for as intangible assets in conjunction with the payment made in 2018 for renewal of concessions expiring in 2021, which amount was determined by the IFT before the renewal date (see Note 2 (b)). Based on such review, the Group classified these concessions as intangible assets with a finite useful life and began to amortize the related net carrying amount of Ps.553,505 in a period ending in 2021. Amortization of  these concessions with a finite useful life amounted to Ps.110,701 for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
