Advertising
Advertising revenue increased by 8.2%. In spite of a challenging economic environment, these results reflect stronger advertising revenues in our broadcasting channels, and pay-TV networks. In our free-to-air channels the health and personal care categories performed particularly well. Advertising in pay-TV networks increased 41.1% and represented 5.8% of our advertising revenues.
|
|||||||||||||
Network Subscription Revenue
First-quarter Network Subscription Revenue decreased by 21.0% to Ps.688.1 million compared with Ps.870.9 million in first-quarter 2013. These results reflect forgone revenue as a result of the implementation of the must-offer ruling that came into effect with the constitutional reform in matters of telecommunications. Among other measures, this reform requires us to allow the retransmission free of charge and on a non-discriminatory basis of free-to-air television signals to pay-TV licensees that operate in the same area of geographic coverage, subject to certain conditions being met.
Licensing and Syndication
First-quarter Licensing and Syndication revenue increased by 10.4% to Ps.1,401.1 million compared with Ps.1,269.5 million in first-quarter 2013. The increase is explained mainly by an increase of 13.1% in royalties from Univision, to US$64.8 million in first-quarter 2014 from US$57.3 million in first-quarter 2013. The other revenue components of Licensing and Syndication, royalties from Netflix and exports to the rest of the world, remained relatively stable.
|
|||||||||||||
First-quarter operating segment income increased 0.9% to Ps.2,400.1 million compared with Ps.2,378.6 million in first-quarter 2013. The margin was 36.1%. The drop in the margin of 140 basis points from same quarter last year is more than explained by the implementation of the must-offer ruling. Excluding the effect of the ruling, margins would have expanded by approximately 200 basis points.
|
|||||||||||||
Sky
|
First-quarter sales increased by 9.7% to Ps.4,199.2 million compared with Ps.3,826.8 million in first-quarter 2013. The increase was driven by the growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained by the success of Sky’s low-cost offerings. The number of net active subscribers increased by 138,815 during the quarter to 6,154,290 as of March 31, 2014, compared with 5,413,012 as of March 31, 2013. Sky ended the quarter with 202,291 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
|
||||||||||||
First-quarter operating segment income increased 10.1% to Ps.1,947.7 million compared with Ps.1,768.5 million in first-quarter 2013, and the margin was 46.4%, practically flat from same quarter last year. Sky benefited from lower programming costs resulting from the must-offer ruling, which were almost entirely compensated by higher programming expenses related mainly to the transmission of certain matches of the 2014 World Cup.
|
|||||||||||||
Telecommunications
|
First-quarter sales increased 15.7% to Ps.4,600.6 million compared with Ps.3,976.5 million in first-quarter 2013. Our three cable companies continue to benefit from the fast adoption of voice and data services. As of the end of first quarter 2014, voice to video penetration reached 37% and data to video penetration reached 69%. Voice and data revenue generating units, or RGUs, grew 20.1% and 26.4% compared with first-quarter 2013, respectively, and video RGUs grew 6.5%. Bestel revenues increased 14.0% compared with first-quarter 2013 mainly as a result of higher managed services sales.

First-quarter operating segment income increased 14.8% to Ps.1,627.2 million compared with Ps.1,417.9 million in first-quarter 2013, and the margin was 35.4%, practically flat with same quarter last year. Our Telecommunications business benefited from lower programming costs, as a result of the must-offer ruling, which were partially compensated by higher personnel costs and selling expenses. These are consequence of the efforts we initiated in third quarter 2013 to expand our sales infrastructure.
The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our four telecommunications subsidiaries for the quarter.

Other Businesses
|
First-quarter sales increased 7.6% to Ps.1,787.5 million compared with Ps.1,661.6 million in first-quarter 2013. Businesses that performed well include feature-film distribution, gaming, radio, and soccer. The soccer business benefited from player related transactions and higher ticket sales, while the radio business saw an increase in advertising revenues. Finally, the feature-film distribution business distributed hits such as “Cásese Quien Pueda” and “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”. This effect was partially compensated by lower revenues in our publishing and publishing distribution businesses.

First-quarter operating segment income decreased 5.6% to Ps.104.7 million compared with Ps.110.9 million in first-quarter 2013, mainly reflecting higher costs in the soccer, radio, feature-film distribution, and gaming business. This effect was partially compensated by lower costs and expenses in our publishing business.
