Management commentary

Mexico City, October 26, 2017 — Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or the “Company”), today announced results for the third-quarter 2017. The results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The following table sets forth condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, in millions of Mexican pesos, as well as the percentage that each line represents of net sales and the percentage change when comparing 2017 with 2016:

	3Q’17	Margin %	3Q’16	Margin %	Change %
Net sales	22,832.2	100.0	23,722.3	100.0	(3.8)
Net income	1,664.4	7.3	1,380.5	5.8	20.6
Net income attributable to stockholders of the Company	1,158.7	5.1	1,062.1	4.5	9.1
Segment net sales	23,763.5	100.0	24,563.0	100.0	(3.3)
Operating segment income ⁽¹⁾	9,339.3	39.3	9,979.1	40.6	(6.4)

⁽¹⁾ The operating segment income margin is calculated as a percentage of segment net sales.

Net sales decreased by 3.8% to Ps.22,832.2 million in the third-quarter 2017 compared with Ps.23,722.3 million in the third-quarter 2016. This decrease was mainly attributable to the drop in advertising revenues. Operating segment income decreased by 6.4%, reaching Ps.9,339.3 million with a margin of 39.3%.

Net income attributable to stockholders of the Company amounted to Ps.1,158.7 million in third-quarter 2017 compared with Ps.1,062.1 million in third-quarter 2016. The net increase of Ps.96.6 million, or 9.1%, reflected primarily (i) a Ps.817.2 million decrease in finance expense, net; (ii) a Ps.325.7 million decrease in other expense, net; and (iii) a Ps.283.6 million increase in share of income of associates and joint ventures, net. These favorable variances were partially offset by (i) a Ps.672.0 million decrease in operating income before depreciation and amortization; (ii) a Ps.389.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and (iii) a Ps.187.3 million increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests.

We intend to leverage our position as a leading media company in the Spanish-speaking world to continue expanding our business while maintaining profitability and financial discipline.

	Advertising Third-quarter Advertising revenue decreased by 8.4% to Ps.4,943.8 million compared with Ps.5,397.9 million in the third-quarter 2016. During the quarter, prime time ratings of Channel 2 continued their positive trend. Advertising sold in the upfront gives our clients access to advertising inventory at fixed prices and grants them sufficient flexibility to seek the lowest cost-per-rating point. In light of the ratings increase, this mechanism is allowing them to achieve their target audience volumes with a smaller advertising expense.
	Network Subscription Revenue Third-quarter Network Subscription Revenue decreased by 17.4% to Ps.929.7 million compared with Ps.1,125.8 million in the third-quarter 2016. The decrease was driven mainly by the fact that a competitor is no longer carrying our pay TV networks. This is the last quarter with the difficult comparison. Licensing and Syndication Third-quarter Licensing and Syndication revenue decreased by 0.1% to Ps.2,151.4 million compared with Ps.2,152.6 million in the third-quarter 2016. Third-quarter royalties from Univision were in line with last year, reaching U.S.$80.6 million.
	Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 14.8% to Ps.3,102.1 million compared with Ps.3,642.6 million in the third-quarter 2016; the margin was 38.7%. This was partially offset by 2.2% reduction in cost and expenses.
Sky	Third-quarter sales decreased by 1.1% to Ps.5,445.2 million compared with Ps.5,505.8 million in the third-quarter 2016. The number of net active subscribers increased by 1,801 during the quarter to 8,014,898 as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2016, Sky had 7,926,678 subscribers. Sky ended the quarter with 184,582 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Sky continues to be impacted by the extraordinary growth in net additions achieved in 2016 due to the analog shut down. This effect has also increased the number of cancelations during 2017. In addition, recharge rates for our pre-paid packages were lower when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite these two factors, subscription revenues in Mexico grew in the third quarter when compared to last year, offset by a decline in revenues from Central America.
	Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 5.0% to Ps.2,660.4 million compared with Ps.2,534.1 million in the third-quarter 2016, and the margin was 48.9%. The increase in the margin of 290 basis points from same quarter last year is mainly the result of management’s strong discipline in costs and expenses.
Cable	Third-quarter sales increased by 2.1% to Ps.8,322.5 million compared with Ps.8,155.2 million in the third-quarter 2016 driven by the quarterly growth in all of our services, adding 31 thousand video RGUs, 145 thousand data RGUs and 23 thousand voice RGUs. This is the fastest pace of growth of the last five quarters.

	The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our Cable segment as of September 30, 2017 and 2016.
		RGUs	3Q’17	3Q’16
		Video	4,123,373	4,240,935
		Broadband	3,640,132	3,346,060
		Voice	2,099,065	2,092,293
		Total RGUs	9,862,570	9,679,288

	Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 2.3% to Ps.3,523.5 million compared with Ps.3,443.3 million in the third-quarter 2016, and the margin reached 42.3%, similar to the same quarter last year. Results were partially offset by our network operations segment, where we have seen a reduction in the number of new government contracts up for tender as well as a reduction in the rates we charge due to intense competition. The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our cable and network operations for the third-quarter 2017 and 2016. Our cable operations include video, voice and data services provided by Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI, Cablecom and Telecable. Our network operations include services offered by Bestel and the network operations of Cablecom.

	⁽¹⁾ These results do not include consolidation adjustments of Ps.284.3 million in revenues nor Ps.109.8 million in Operating Segment Income, which are considered in the consolidated results of the Cable segment.

	3Q’16 Millions of Mexican pesos	Cable Operations⁽²⁾	Network Operations⁽²⁾	Total Cable
	Revenue	6,932.7	1,518.6	8,155.2
	Operating Segment Income	2,988.0	547.5	3,443.3
	Margin	43.1%	36.1%	42.2%
	⁽²⁾ These results do not include consolidation adjustments of Ps.296.1 million in revenues nor Ps.92.2 million in Operating Segment Income, which are considered in the consolidated results of the Cable segment.

Other Businesses	Third-quarter sales decreased by 11.4% to Ps.1,970.9 million compared with Ps.2,225.7 million in the third-quarter 2016. This decrease is explained mainly by (i) a decrease in the revenues of our soccer business; and (ii) a decrease in the revenues of our publishing business. This effect was partially compensated by an increase in the revenues of our feature-film distribution business.
	Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 85.2% to Ps.53.3 million compared with Ps.359.1 million in the third-quarter 2016, and the margin reached 2.7%. These results are mainly explained by a decrease in the operating segment income related to soccer and publishing businesses.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense increased by Ps.32.2 million, or 6.2%, to Ps.550.2 million in third-quarter 2017, from Ps.518.0 million in third-quarter 2016. Corporate expense reflected primarily a share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense in third quarter 2017 and 2016 amounted to Ps.375.8 million and Ps.361.6 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.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, decreased by Ps.325.7 million, or 39.7%, to Ps.495.7 million in third-quarter 2017, from Ps.821.4 million in third-quarter 2016. This decrease reflected primarily a lower expense related to legal and financial advisory professional services, as well as a reduction in loss on disposition of property and equipment, which effect was partially offset by a higher non-recurrent severance expense in connection with the dismissal of personnel primarily in our Content segment, as well as an impairment adjustment to trademarks in our publishing business.

6 of 76

In third-quarter 2017, other expense, net, was comprised primarily of severance expense, an impairment of trademarks, donations, and legal and financial advisory professional services.

Finance Expense, Net

The following table sets forth the finance (expense) income, net, stated in millions of Mexican pesos for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

	3Q’17	3Q’16	(Increase) Decrease
Interest expense	(2,194.1)	(2,263.6)	69.5
Interest income	540.2	407.4	132.8
Foreign exchange loss, net	(119.7)	(652.8)	533.1
Other finance income (expense), net	57.5	(24.3)	81.8
Finance expense, net	(1,716.1)	(2,533.3)	817.2

The finance expense, net, decreased by Ps.817.2 million, or 32.3%, to Ps.1,716.1 million in third-quarter 2017 from Ps.2,533.3 million in third-quarter 2016. This decrease reflected (i) a Ps.533.1 million decrease in foreign exchange loss, net, resulting primarily from a lower depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on our average net U.S. dollar liability position in third-quarter 2017; (ii) a Ps.132.8 million increase in interest income explained primarily by an increase in interest rates applicable to cash equivalents, which effect was offset by a lower average amount of cash and cash equivalents in third-quarter 2017; (iii) a favorable change of Ps.81.8 million in other finance income or expense, net, resulting primarily from a net gain in fair value of our derivative contracts in third-quarter 2017; and (iv) a Ps.69.5 million decrease in interest expense, due primarily to a lower average principal amount of debt, finance lease obligations and other notes payable in third-quarter 2017.

Share of Income of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, increased by Ps.283.6 million, or 73.4%, to Ps.670.0 million in third-quarter 2017 from Ps.386.4 million in third-quarter 2016. This increase reflected mainly a higher share of income of (i) Univision Holdings, Inc., the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc.; and (ii) Imagina Media Audiovisual, S.L., a communications company in Spain.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by Ps.80.9 million, or 9.1%, to Ps.967.6 million in third-quarter 2017 compared with Ps.886.7 million in third-quarter 2016. This increase reflected primarily a higher tax base, as well as a higher effective income tax rate.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased by Ps.187.3 million, or 58.8 %, to Ps.505.7 million in third-quarter 2017, compared with Ps.318.4 million in third-quarter 2016. This increase reflected primarily a higher portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Sky and Cable segments.

[800007] Annex - Financial derivative instruments

Management discussion about the policy uses of financial derivative instruments, explaining if these policies are allowed just for coverage or for other uses like trading

EXHIBIT 1

TO THE ELECTRONIC FORM TITLED “PREPARATION, FILING, DELIVERY AND DISCLOSURE OF QUARTERLY ECONOMIC, ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION BY ISSUERS”

III. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION

i. Management’s discussion of the policies concerning the use of financial derivative instruments, and explanation as to whether such policies permit the use of said instruments solely for hedging or also for trading or other purposes. The discussion must include a general description of the objectives sought in the execution of financial derivative transactions; the relevant instruments; the hedging or trading strategies implemented in connection therewith; the relevant trading markets; the eligible counterparties; the policies for the appointment of calculation or valuation agents; the principal terms and conditions of the relevant contracts; the policies as to margins, collateral and lines of credit; the authorization process and levels of authorization required by type of transaction (e.g., full hedging, partial hedging, speculation), stating whether the transactions were previously approved by the committee(s) responsible for the development of corporate and auditing practices; the internal control procedures applicable to the management of the market and liquidity risks associated with the positions; and the existence of an independent third party responsible for the review of such procedures and, as the case may be, the observations raised or deficiencies identified by such third party. If applicable, provide information concerning the composition of the overall risk management committee, its operating rules, and the existence of an overall risk management manual.

Management’s discussion of the policies concerning the use of financial derivative instruments, and explanation as to whether such policies permit the use of said instruments solely for hedging or also for trading or other purposes.

In accordance with the policies and procedures implemented by the Vice President of Finance and Risk and the Vice President and Corporate Controller, along with the Vice President of Internal Audit, the Company has entered into certain financial derivative transactions for hedging purposes in both the Mexican and international markets so as to manage its exposure to the market risks associated with the changes in interest and foreign exchange rates and inflation. In addition, the Company’s Investments Committee has established guidelines for the investment in structured notes or deposits associated with other derivatives, which by their nature may be considered as derivative transactions for trading purposes. It should be noted that in the third quarter of 2017, no such financial derivatives were outstanding. Pursuant to the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards Board, certain financial derivative transactions originally intended to serve as a hedge and in effect until September 30th, 2017, are not within the scope of hedge accounting as specified in such Standards and, consequently, are recognized in the accounting based on the provisions included in the aforementioned Standards.

General description of the objectives sought in the execution of financial derivative transactions; the relevant instruments; the hedging or trading strategies implemented in connection therewith; the relevant trading markets; the eligible counterparties; the policies for the appointment of calculation or valuation agents; the principal terms and conditions of the relevant contracts; the policies as to margins, collateral and lines of credit; the authorization process and levels of authorization required by type of transaction (e.g., full hedging, partial hedging, speculation), stating whether the transactions were previously approved by the committee(s) responsible for the development of corporate and auditing practices; the internal control procedures applicable to the management of the market and liquidity risks associated with the positions; and the existence of an independent third party responsible for the review of such procedures and, as the case may be, the observations raised or deficiencies identified by such third party.

The Company’s principal objective when entering into financial derivative transactions is to mitigate the effects of unforeseen changes in interest and foreign exchange rates and inflation, so as to reduce the volatility in its results and cash flows as a result of such changes.

32 of 76

The Company monitors its exposure to the interest rate risk by: (i) assessing the difference between the interest rates applicable to its debt and temporary investments, and the prevailing market rates for similar instruments; (ii) reviewing its cash flow requirements and financial ratios (interest coverage); (iii) assessing the actual and budgeted-for trends in the principal markets; and (iv) assessing the prevailing industry practices and other similar companies. This approach enables the Company to determine the optimum mix between fixed- and variable-rate interest for its debt.

Foreign exchange risk is monitored by assessing the Company’s monetary position in U.S. dollars and its budgeted cash flow requirements for investments anticipated to be denominated in U.S. dollars and the service of its U.S. dollar-denominated debt.

Financial derivative transactions are reported from time to time to the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee.

The Company has entered into master derivatives agreements with both domestic and foreign financial institutions, that are internationally recognized institutions with which the Company, from time to time, has entered into financial transactions involving corporate and investment banking, as well as treasury services. The form agreement used in connection with financial derivatives transactions with foreign financial institutions is the Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) and with local institutions is the Master Agreement published by ISDA and in some instances, using the form agreement ISDAmex. In both cases, the main terms and conditions are standard for these types of transactions and include mechanisms for the appointment of calculation or valuation agents.

In addition, the Company enters into standard guaranty agreements that set forth the margins, collateral and lines of credit applicable in each instance. These agreements establish the credit limits granted by the financial institutions with whom the Company enters into master financial derivative agreements, which specify the margin implications in the case of potential negative changes in the market value of its open financial derivative positions. Pursuant to the agreements entered into by the Company, financial institutions are entitled to make margin calls if certain thresholds are exceeded. In the event of a change in the credit rating issued to the Company by a recognized credit rating agency, the credit limit granted by each counterparty would be modified.

As of the date hereof, the Company has never experienced a margin call with respect to its financial derivative transactions.

In compliance with its risk management objectives and hedging strategies, the Company generally utilizes the following financial derivative transactions:

1.	Cross-currency interest rate swaps (i.e., coupon swaps);

2.	Interest rate and inflation-indexed swaps;

3.	Cross-currency principal and interest rate swaps;

4.	Swaptions;

5.	Forward exchange rate contracts;

6.	FX options;

7.	Interest Rate Caps and Floors contracts;

8.	Fixed-price contracts for the acquisition of government securities (i.e., Treasury locks); and

9.	Credit Default Swaps.

The strategies for the acquisition of financial derivatives transactions are approved by the Risk Management Committee in accordance with the Policies and Objectives for the Use of Financial Derivatives.

During the quarter from July to September 2017, there were no defaults or margin calls under the aforementioned financial derivative transactions.

33 of 76

The Company monitors on a weekly basis the flows generated by the fair market value of and the potential for margin calls under its open financial derivative transactions. The calculation or valuation agent designated in the relevant Master Agreement, which is always the counterparty, issues monthly reports as to the fair market value of the Company’s open positions.

The Risk Management area is responsible for measuring, at least once a month, the Company’s exposure to the financial market risks associated with its financings and investments, and for submitting a report with respect to the Company’s risk position and the valuation of its financial derivatives to the Finance Committee on a monthly basis, and to the Risk Management Committee on a quarterly basis. The Company monitors the credit rating assigned to its counterparties in its outstanding financial derivative transactions on a regular basis.

The office of the Comptroller is responsible for the validation of the Company’s accounting records as related to its financial derivative transactions, based upon the confirmations received from the relevant financial intermediaries, and for obtaining from such intermediaries, on a monthly basis, confirmations or account statements supporting the market valuation of its open financial derivative positions.

As a part of the yearly audit on the Company, the aforementioned procedures are reviewed by the Company’s external auditors. As of the date hereof, the Company’s auditors have not raised any observation or identified any deficiency therein.

Information concerning the composition of the overall risk management committee, its operating rules, and the existence of an overall risk management manual.

The Company has a Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for monitoring the Company’s risk management activities and approving the hedging strategies used to mitigate the financial market risks to which the Company is exposed. The assessment and hedging of the financial market risks are subject to the policies and procedures applicable to the Company’s Risk Management Committee, the Finance and Risk Management areas and the Comptroller that form the Risk Management Manual of the Company. In general terms, the Risk Management Committee is comprised of members of the Corporate Management, Corporate Comptroller, Tax Control and Advice, Information to the Stock Exchange, Finance and Risk, Legal, Administration and Finance, Financial Planning and Corporate Finance areas.

General description about valuation techniques, standing out the instruments valuated at cost or fair value, just like methods and valuation techniques

ii. General description of the valuation methods, indicating whether the instruments are valued at cost or at their fair value pursuant to the applicable accounting principles, the relevant reference valuation methods and techniques, and the events taken into consideration. Describe the policies for and frequency of the valuation, as well as the actions taken in light of the values obtained therefrom. Clarify whether the valuation is performed by an independent third party, and indicate if such third party is the structurer, seller or counterparty of the financial instrument. As with respect to financial derivative transactions for hedging purposes, explain the method used to determine the effectiveness thereof and indicate the level of coverage provided thereby.

The Company values its financial derivative instruments based upon the standard models and calculators provided by recognized market makers. In addition, the Company uses the relevant market variables available from online sources. The financial derivative instruments are valued at a reasonable value pursuant to the applicable accounting provisions.

In the majority of cases, the valuation at a reasonable value is carried out on a monthly basis based on valuations of the counterparties and the verification of such reasonable value with internal valuations prepared by the Risk Management area of the Company. Accounting wise, the valuation of the counterparty is registered.

The Company performs its valuations without the participation of any independent third party.

The method used by the Company to determine the effectiveness of an instrument depends on the hedging strategy and on whether the relevant transaction is intended as a fair-value hedge or a cash-flow hedge. The Company’s methods take into consideration the prospective cash flows generated by or the changes in the fair value of the financial derivative, and the cash flows generated by or the changes in the fair value of the underlying position that it seeks to hedge to determine, in each case, the hedging ratio.

Management discussion about internal and external sources of liquidity that could be used for attending requirements related to financial derivative instruments

iii. Management’s discussion of the internal and external sources of liquidity that could be used to satisfy the Company’s requirements in connection with its financial derivatives.

As of the date hereof, the Company’s management has not discussed internal and external sources of liquidity so as to satisfy its requirements in connection with its financial derivatives since, based upon the aggregate amount of the Company’s financial derivative transactions, management is of the opinion that the Company’s significant positions of cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments, and the substantial cash flows generated by the Company, would enable the Company to respond adequately to any such requirements.

Changes and management explanation in principal risk exposures identified, as contingencies and events known by the administration that could affect future reports

iv. Explanation as to any change in the issuer’s exposure to the principal risks identified thereby and in their management, and any contingency or event known to or anticipated by the issuer’s management, which could affect any future report. Description of any circumstance or event, such as any change in the value of the underlying assets or reference variables, resulting in a financial derivative being used other than as originally intended, or substantially altering its structure, or resulting in the partial or total loss of the hedge, thereby forcing the issuer to assume new obligations, commitments or changes in its cash flows in a manner that affects its liquidity (e.g., margin calls). Description of the impact of such financial derivative transactions on the issuer’s results or cash flows. Description and number of financial derivatives maturing during the quarter, any closed positions and, if applicable, number and amount of margin calls experienced during the quarter. Disclosure as to any default under the relevant contracts.

Changes in the Company’s exposure to the principal risks identified thereby and in their management, and contingencies or events known to or anticipated by the Company’s management, which could affect any future report.

Since a significant portion of the Company’s debt and costs are denominated in U.S. dollars, while its revenues are primarily denominated in Mexican pesos, depreciation in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and any future depreciation could have a negative effect on the Company’s results due to exchange rate losses. However, the significant amount of U.S. dollars in the Company’s treasury, and the hedging strategies adopted by the Company in recent years, have enabled it to avoid significant foreign exchange losses.

Circumstances or events, such as changes in the value of the underlying assets or reference variables, resulting in a financial derivative being used other than as originally intended, or substantially altering its structure, or resulting in the partial or total loss of the hedge, thereby forcing the Company to assume new obligations, commitments or changes in its cash flows in a manner that affects its liquidity (e.g., margin calls). Description of the impact of such financial derivative transactions on the Company’s results or cash flows.

As of the date hereof, no circumstance or event of a financial derivative transaction, resulted in a partial or total loss of the relevant hedge requiring that the Company assume new obligations, commitments or variations in its cash flow such that its liquidity is affected.

Description and number of financial derivatives maturing during the quarter, any closed positions and, if applicable, number and amount of margin calls experienced during the quarter. Disclosure as to any default under the relevant contracts.

35 of 76

During the relevant quarter, a forward through which the Company hedged against a possible Mexican Peso depreciation with a notional amount of U.S. $87,000,000.00 (Eighty Seven Million U.S. Dollars 00/100), expired. As a result of this hedge, a loss of MXN $194,246,156.25 (One Hundred Ninety Four Million Two Hundred Forty Six Thousand One Hundred Fifty Six Pesos 25/100) was incurred in the trimester.

During the relevant quarter there were no defaults or margin calls under financial derivative transactions.

Quantitative information for disclosure

v. Quantitative Information. Attached hereto as “Table 1” is a summary of the financial derivative instruments purchased by Grupo Televisa, S.A.B, Empresas Cablevisión S.A.B. de C.V. and Televisión Internacional, S.A. de C.V., whose aggregate fair value represents or could represent one of the reference percentages set forth in Section III (v) of the Official Communication.

IV. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Considering that the Company has entered into financial derivative transactions for hedging purposes, and given the low amount of the financial derivative instruments that proved ineffective as a hedge, the Company has determined that such transactions are not material and, accordingly, the sensitivity analysis referred to in Section IV of the Official Communication is not applicable.

In those cases where the derivative instruments of the Company are for hedging purposes, for a material amount and where the effectiveness measures were sufficient, the measures are justified when the standard deviation of the changes in cash flow as a result of changes in the variables of exchange rate and interest rates of the derivative instruments used jointly with the underlying position is lower than the standard deviation of the changes in cash flow of the underlying position valued in pesos and the effective measures are defined by the correlation coefficient between both positions for the effective measures to be sufficient.

Notes to Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

(In thousands of Mexican Pesos, except per CPO, per share and exchange rate amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

Corporate Information

Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (the “Company”) is a limited liability public stock corporation (“Sociedad Anónima Bursátil” or “S.A.B.”), incorporated under the laws of Mexico. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s bylaws (“Estatutos Sociales”) its corporate existence continues through 2106. The shares of the Company are listed and traded in the form of “Certificados de Participación Ordinarios” or “CPOs” on the Mexican Stock Exchange (“Bolsa Mexicana de Valores”) under the ticker symbol TLEVISA CPO, and in the form of Global Depositary Shares or GDSs, on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the ticker symbol TV. The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Mexico City at Avenida Vasco de Quiroga 2000, Colonia Santa Fe, 01210 Ciudad de México, México.

Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) is a leading media company in the Spanish-speaking world, an important cable operator in Mexico, and an operator of a leading direct-to-home satellite pay television system in Mexico. The Group distributes the content it produces through several broadcast channels in Mexico and in over 50 countries through 26 pay-tv brands and television networks, cable operators and over-the-top or “OTT” services. In the United States, the Group’s audiovisual content is distributed through Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”), the leading media company serving the Hispanic market. Univision broadcasts the Group’s audiovisual content through multiple platforms in exchange for a royalty payment. In addition, the Group has equity and Warrants, which upon their exercise would represent approximately 36% on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis of the equity capital in Univision Holdings, Inc. or “UHI”, the controlling company of Univision. The Group’s cable business offers integrated services, including video, high-speed data and voice services to residential and commercial customers as well as managed services to domestic and international carriers through five cable multiple system operators in Mexico. The Group owns a majority interest in Sky, a leading direct-to-home satellite pay television system in Mexico, operating also in the Dominican Republic and Central America. The Group also has interests in magazine publishing and distribution, radio production and broadcasting, professional sports and live entertainment, feature-film production and distribution, and gaming.

Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with the guidelines provided by the International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included herein.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and include, among other disclosures, the Group’s most significant accounting policies, which were applied on a consistent basis as of September 30, 2017.

The Company’s management continues evaluating the effects in applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”), IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), and IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS16”), which are applicable for periods beginning on January 1, 2018 (IFRS 15 and IFRS 9) and January 1, 2019 (IFRS 16).

The Company will adopt IFRS 15 beginning on January 1, 2018 by using the retrospective cumulative method, which consists in recognizing any cumulative adjustment resulting from the new standard at the date of initial adoption in consolidated equity. In connection with the adoption of IFRS 15, the Company’s management has initially identified some impacts in the Sky and Cable segments in connection with certain equipment installation revenues, as well as certain incremental costs of obtaining contracts, primarily commissions, which should be recognized as assets in the statement of financial position and amortized in the expected life of contracts with customers, in accordance with the new standard. The Company is still analyzing some other potential impacts resulting from applying the new standard, primarily in connection with the recognition in the consolidated statement of financial position of certain customer deposits and advances for advertising contracts, in the Content segment; the review of certain telecommunication contracts, which terms and conditions are required to be analyzed individually, and not as a portfolio, in the Cable segment; and the review of certain revenue transactions and contracts in the Other Businesses segment. Finally, the Company is implementing additional controls resulting from these analysis, and in connection with the presentation and disclosure requirements of the new standard.

The Company will adopt IFRS 9 beginning on January 1, 2018. In addition to the impacts discussed in Note 2 (z) to the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016, IFRS 9 considers under a new impairment approach that is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized, instead, an entity always accounts for expected credit losses, and change in those expected losses to profit or loss; in respect to hedging activities, IFRS 9 aligns hedge accounting more closely with an entity’s risk management through a principles-based approach, by means of which the current range from 0.8 to 1.25 to declare a maintaining hedge is eliminated an in its place, an effective hedging instrument will be declared only if it supports the entity’s risk management strategy and maintain an effective hedge, and in lieu thereof, an instrument of effective hedge could be deemed this way if it is aligned with the entity’s management risks strategy; IFRS 9 establishes that an entity making an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income changes in fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading, should not transfer to profit or loss any amounts presented in other comprehensive income, but may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity; and IFRS 9 requires application of the integral retrospective method at the day of transition of this standard, which consists in restating the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

45 of 76

The Company will adopt IFRS 16 beginning on January 1, 2019 by using the retrospective cumulative method, which consists of recognizing any cumulative adjustment due to the new standard at the date of initial adoption in consolidated equity. The Company is currently evaluating the two options allowed by IFRS 16 for using such retrospective cumulative method. In addition to the impacts discussed in Note 2 (z) to the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016, IFRS 16 will affect the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company by recognizing additional assets (rights of use for long-term lease agreements) and liabilities (financial obligations for long-term lease agreements), and the presentation of the consolidated statement of income as the Company shall recognize a depreciation of rights of use for long-term lease agreements, and a finance expense for interest from related financial liabilities, instead of affecting costs and expenses for these lease agreements as they are recognized under the current standard.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. There have been no changes in the Corporate Finance Department of the Company or in any risk management policies since the year end.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance on October 19, 2017, by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer.

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Acquisitions

In March 2016, the Group announced the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest of Televisión Internacional, S.A. de C.V. (“TVI”) in the aggregate fair value amount of Ps.6,750,000, including a cash payment of Ps.2,000,000 and the assumption of long-term liabilities in the aggregate amount of Ps.4,750,000 (undiscounted amount of Ps.5,106,250), with maturities between 2017 and 2020 (see Note 8). Until this transaction was completed, a non-controlling interest participated as a shareholder of Corporativo Vasco de Quiroga, S.A. de C.V. (“CVQ”), a direct subsidiary of the Company. In August 2016, the Company completed this transaction by acquiring the non-controlling interest in CVQ. This transaction complied with the guidelines and timetable established by the authorization of the Mexican Institute of Telecommunications (“Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones” or “IFT”). With the ownership of 100% of the equity interest of TVI, the Group is better positioned to exploit efficiencies and economies of scale among all its cable operations throughout Mexico and continue to expand upon its offer of video, voice and data services. The effect of this transaction in the equity attributable to stockholders of the Company as of December 31, 2016, was as follows:

46 of 76

	Acquisition of a Non-controlling Interest
Carrying value of the non-controlling interest in TVI	Ps.	768,703
Consideration for the acquisition of a non-controlling interest in TVI		(6,750,000	)
Decrease in retained earnings attributable to stockholders of the Company⁽¹⁾	Ps.	(5,981,297	)

In the fourth quarter of 2016, TVI acquired through cash transactions a remaining 50% equity interest of Cable Sistema de Victoria, S.A. de C.V. (“CSV”), an indirect subsidiary of TVI, for an amount of Ps.379,424. The effect of this transaction in the equity attributable to stockholders of the Company as of December 31, 2016, was as follows:

	Acquisition of a Non-controlling Interest
Carrying value of the non-controlling interest in CSV	Ps.	35,724
Consideration for the acquisition of a non-controlling interest in CSV		(379,424	)
Decrease in retained earnings attributable to stockholders of the Company⁽¹⁾	Ps.	(343,700	)

⁽¹⁾	Changes in ownership interest are treated as equity transactions, if control is maintained. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized in equity attributed to stockholders of the Company.

Investments in Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Group had the following investments in financial instruments:

	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Available-for-sale financial assets:
Warrants issued by UHI ⁽¹⁾	Ps.	34,974,916	Ps.	38,298,606
Available-for-sale investment ⁽²⁾		6,449,240		6,456,392
		41,424,156		44,754,998
Held-to-maturity investments ⁽³⁾		342,908		335,833
Other		45,803		45,920
	Ps.	41,812,867	Ps.	45,136,751

(1)	The Group’s Warrants are exercisable for UHI’s common stock, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of U.S.$0.01 per Warrant share. The Warrants shall expire and no longer be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, the Expiration Date shall automatically be extended for nine successive ten-year periods unless the Group provides written notice to UHI of its election not to so extend the Expiration Date. The Warrants do not bear interest. These Warrants are classified as available-for-sale financial assets with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in consolidated equity. Changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to the statement of income within other finance income, net, in the period the Warrants are exercised, in whole or in part (see Notes 5 and 9). In January 2017, in a Declaratory Ruling, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) approved an increase in the authorized aggregate foreign ownership of UHI’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 25% to 49%, and authorized the Group to hold up to 40% of the voting interest and 49% of the equity interest of UHI.
(2)	The Group has an investment in an Open Ended Fund that has as a primary objective to achieve capital appreciation by using a broad range of strategies through investments and transactions in telecom, media and other sectors across global markets, including Latin America and other emerging markets. Shares may be redeemed on a quarterly basis at the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share as of such redemption date. The fair value of this fund is determined by using the NAV per share. The NAV per share is calculated by determining the value of the fund assets and subtracting all of the fund liabilities and dividing the result by the total number of issued shares.
(3)	Held-to-maturity investments represent corporate fixed income securities with long-term maturities. These investments are stated at amortized cost. Maturities of these investments subsequent to September 30, 2017, are as follows: Ps.213,721 in 2018, Ps.66,352 in 2019 and Ps.62,835 thereafter. Held-to-maturity financial assets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos.

A roll forward of available-for-sale financial assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, is presented as follows:

⁽¹⁾

The foreign exchange (loss) gain derived from the hedged Warrants issued by UHI and the initial investment in Open Ended Fund was recognized as a hedge of foreign exchange gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income in the amount of Ps.(4,463,380) and Ps.(433,908), respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and Ps.4,418,297 and Ps.391,284, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (see Notes 8 and 14).

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the investments in financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, is the carrying value of the financial assets mentioned above.

				Ps.	12,261,543	Ps.	12,092,254

(1)	The Group accounts for its investment in common stock of UHI, the parent company of Univision, under the equity method due to the Group’s ability to exercise significant influence, as defined under IFRS, over UHI’s operations. The Group has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of UHI because the Group (i) as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, owned 1,110,382 Class “C” shares of common stock of UHI, representing approximately 10% of the outstanding total shares of UHI as of each of those dates; (ii) as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, held Warrants exercisable for common stock of UHI equivalent to approximately 26% equity stake of UHI on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, subject to certain conditions, laws and regulations; (iii) as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, had three officers and one director of the Company designated as members of the Board of Directors of UHI, which was composed of 18 directors, of 22 available board seats; and (iv) was party to a program license agreement (“PLA”), as amended, with Univision, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of UHI, pursuant to which Univision has the right to broadcast certain Televisa content in the United States, and to another program license agreement pursuant to which the Group has the right to broadcast certain Univision’s content in Mexico, in each case through the later of 2025 (2030 upon consummation of a qualified public equity offering of UHI) or 90 months after the Group has sold two-thirds of its initial investment in UHI made in December 2010 (see Notes 4, 9, 12 and 14).
(2)	The Group holds two of 10 seats on the Board of Directors of Imagina and accounts for this investment under the equity method due to its ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Imagina.
(3)	OCEN is a majority-owned subsidiary of Corporación Interamericana de Entretenimiento, S.A.B. de C.V., and is engaged in the live entertainment business in Mexico. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the investment in OCEN included a goodwill of Ps.359,613.
(4)	GTAC was granted a 20-year contract for the lease of a pair of dark fiber wires held by the Mexican Federal Electricity Commission and a concession to operate a public telecommunications network in Mexico with an expiration date in 2030. GTAC is a joint venture in which a subsidiary of the Company, a subsidiary of Grupo de Telecomunicaciones Mexicanas, S.A. de C.V., and a subsidiary of Megacable, S.A. de C.V., have an equal equity participation of 33.3%. In June 2010, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a long-term credit facility agreement to provide financing to GTAC for up to Ps.688,217, with an annual interest rate of the Mexican Interbank Interest Rate (“Tasa de Interés Interbancaria de Equilibrio” or “TIIE”) plus 200 basis points. Under the terms of this agreement, principal and interest are payable at dates agreed by the parties, between 2013 and 2021. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, GTAC had used a principal amount of Ps.688,183, under this credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, GTAC paid principal and interest to the Group in connection with this credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.203,945. During 2016, GTAC did not pay any amount of principal nor interest in connection with this credit facility. Also, a subsidiary of the Company entered into supplementary long-term loans to provide additional financing to GTAC for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.529,394, with an annual interest of TIIE plus 200 basis points computed on a monthly basis and payable on an annual basis or at dates agreed by the parties. Under the terms of these supplementary loans, principal amounts can be prepaid at dates agreed by the parties before their maturities between 2023 and 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, GTAC paid principal and interest to the Group in connection with this credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.47,885. During 2016, GTAC did not pay any amount of principal nor interest in connection with these supplementary loans. The net investment in GTAC as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, included amounts receivable in connection with this long-term credit facility and supplementary loans to GTAC in the aggregate amount of Ps.853,320 and Ps.881,740, respectively (see Note 9).

The Senior Notes due between 2018 and 2046, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of U.S.$4,200 million and Ps.11,000,000, are unsecured obligations of the Company, rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company, and are junior in right of payment to all of the existing and future liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Financial Instruments

The Group’s financial instruments presented in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position included cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, accounts and notes receivable, long-terms loan receivable from GTAC, Warrants that are exercisable for UHI’s common stock, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity investments, investments in securities in the form of an open-ended fund classified as available-for-sale investments, accounts payable, debt, finance lease obligations, other notes payable, and derivative financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term notes payable due to banks and other financial institutions, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Group’s long-term debt securities are based on quoted market prices.

The fair value of long-term loans that the Group borrowed from leading Mexican banks (see Note 8) has been estimated using the borrowing rates currently available to the Group for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities. The fair value of held-to-maturity securities, available-for-sale investments, and currency option and interest rate swap agreements were determined by using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data.

The carrying and estimated fair values of the Group’s non-derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were as follows:

UHI Warrants

In July 2015, the Group exchanged its investment in U.S.$1,125 million principal amount of Convertible Debentures due 2025 issued by UHI for Warrants that are exercisable for UHI’s common stock.

54 of 76

The Group determined the fair value of its investment in Warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model (“BSPM”). The BSPM involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include the UHI stock’s spot price at valuation date and the stock’s expected volatility. UHI stock’s price at valuation date was obtained by using a discounted projected cash flow model. UHI stock’s volatility was obtained from publicly available information of comparable companies’ stock through determining an average of such companies’ annual volatility. Since the described methodology was an internal model with significant unobservable inputs, the UHI Warrants are classified as Level 3.

Unobservable inputs used as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, included UHI stock’s spot price of U.S.$418 and U.S.$404 per share, respectively, and UHI stock’s expected volatility of 30% and 32%, respectively.

Significant judgment was applied in assessing the qualitative factors mentioned in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, to determine that the changes in cash flows, the different risk and rewards and contractual terms between the exchanged Convertible Debentures due 2025 issued by UHI and the received Warrants issued by UHI resulted in the derecognition of the Convertible Debentures.

The Company’s management applied significant judgment to determine the classification of the Warrants issued by UHI. These Warrants did not comply with the definition of a derivative financial instrument because the initial investment that the Group paid to acquire the original instrument (Convertible Debentures) was significant and a derivative requires no initial investment or one that is smaller than would be required for a contract with similar response to changes in market factors; therefore, the Group classified the Warrants issued by UHI as available-for-sale financial assets with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income or loss in consolidated equity. Significant judgment was applied by the Company’s management in assessing that the characteristics of the Warrants are closer to an equity instrument in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (see Note 4).

Seasonality of Operations

The Group’s results of operations are seasonal. The Group typically recognizes a large percentage of its consolidated net sales (principally advertising) in the fourth quarter in connection with the holiday shopping season. In 2016 and 2015, the Group recognized 28.4% and 28.3%, respectively, of its annual consolidated net sales in the fourth quarter of the year. The Group’s costs, in contrast to its revenues, are more evenly incurred throughout the year and generally do not correlate to the amount of advertising sales.

Contingencies

On March 2, 2017, the Mexican Institute of Telecommunications (“Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones” or “IFT”) announced that the Company, together with some of its subsidiaries, has been declared by the Governing Board of the IFT to be an economic agent with substantial power in the market of restricted television and audio services in Mexico, based on data relevant up to 2014. As a consequence of this resolution notified to the Company, IFT will begin a new proceeding by which it may or may not determine the imposition of certain measures on the Company in respect to the relevant market. The Company will be heard in this proceeding. The Company considers that the reversal of the previous IFT resolution, which determined that the Group did not have substantial power in such market, is unconstitutional and does not comply with the guidelines ordered by the Circuit Court and, therefore, it will pursue all options in its defense. Even though the Company will vigorously defend its stance, it is not possible to determine the outcome.

There are several legal actions and claims pending against the Group, which are filed in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, none of these actions and claims is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial statements as a whole; however, the Company’s management is unable to predict the outcome of any of these legal actions and claims.

Event after the Reporting Period

In October 2017, the Company concluded an offering of Ps.4,500,000 aggregate principal amount of local bonds (“Certificados Bursátiles”) due 2027 with an interest rate of 8.79%, which were registered with the CNBV. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes and working capital.

Description of significant events and transactions

See Note 3 of the Disclosure of interim financial reporting

Description of accounting policies and methods of computation followed in interim financial statements

Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies followed by the Group and used in the preparation of its annual consolidated financial statements, and where applicable, of its interim condensed consolidated financial statements, are summarized below.

(a) Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRSs comprise: (i) International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); (ii) International Accounting Standards (“IAS”); (iii) IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) Interpretations; and (iv) Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) Interpretations.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the measurement at fair value of temporary investments, derivative financial instruments, available-for-sale financial assets, equity financial instruments, and share-based payments, as described below.

60 of 76

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where estimates and assumptions are significant to the Group’s financial statements are disclosed in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance on April 4, 2017, by the Group’s Chief Financial Officer.

(b) Consolidation

The financial statements of the Group are prepared on a consolidated basis and include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of all companies in which the Company has a controlling interest (subsidiaries). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The existence and effects of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether or not the Company controls another entity. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and cease to consolidate from the date on which said control is lost.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in income or loss.

Changes in Ownership Interests in Subsidiaries Without Change of Control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the interest acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals of non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

Loss of Control of a Subsidiary

When the Company ceases to have control of a subsidiary, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in income or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This means that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to income or loss.

The Group’s Content, Sky and Cable segments, as well as the Group’s Radio business, which is reported in the Other Businesses segment, require governmental concessions and special authorizations for the provision of broadcasting and telecommunications services in Mexico. Such concessions are granted by the Mexican Institute of Telecommunications (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones or “IFT”) for a fixed term, subject to renewal in accordance with the Mexican Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law (“Ley Federal de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusión” or “LFTR”).

Renewal of concessions for the Content segment (Broadcasting) and the Radio business require, among others: (i) to request such renewal to IFT within the year prior to the last fifth period of the fixed term of the related concession; (ii) to be in compliance with the concession holder’s obligations under the LFTR, other applicable regulations, and the concession title; (iii) a declaration by IFT that there is no public interest in recovering the spectrum granted under the related concession; and (iv) the acceptance by the concession holder of any new conditions for renewing the concession as set forth by IFT, including the payment of a related fee. Renewal of concessions for the Sky and Cable segments require, among others: (i) to request its renewal to IFT in the year prior to the last fifth period of the fixed term of the related concession; (ii) to be in compliance with the concession holder’s obligations under the LFTR, other applicable regulations, and the concession title; and (iii) the acceptance by the concession holder of any new conditions for renewing the concession as set forth by IFT. IFT shall resolve any request for renewal of the telecommunications concessions within 180 business days of its request. Failure to respond within such period of time shall be interpreted as if the request for renewal has been granted.

The regulations of the broadcasting and the telecommunications concessions (including satellite pay TV) establish that at the end of the concession, the frequency bands or spectrum attached to the services provided in the concessions shall return to the Mexican government. In addition, at the end of the concession, the Mexican government will have the preferential right to acquire infrastructure, equipment and other goods directly used in the provision of the concession. If the Mexican government were to exercise its right to acquire infrastructure, equipment and other goods, it would be required to pay a price that is equivalent to a formula that is similar to the fair value. To the knowledge of the Company’s management, no spectrum granted for broadcasting services in Mexico has been recovered by the Mexican government in at least the past three decades for public interest reasons. However, the Company’s management is unable to predict the outcome of any action by IFT in this regard. In addition, these assets, by themselves, would not be enough to immediately begin broadcasting or offering satellite pay TV services or telecommunications services, as no content producing assets or other equipment necessary to operate the business would be included.

Also, the Group’s Gaming business, which is reported in the Other Businesses segment, requires a permit granted by the Mexican Federal Government for a fixed term, subject to renewal in accordance with Mexican law. Additionally, the Group’s Sky businesses in Central America and the Dominican Republic require concessions or permits granted by local regulatory authorities for a fixed term, subject to renewal in accordance with local laws.

The accounting guidelines provided by IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements are not applicable to the Group due primarily to the following factors: (i) the Mexican government does not substantially control the Group’s infrastructure, what services are provided with the infrastructure and the price at which such services are offered; (ii) the Group’s broadcasting service does not constitute a public service as per the definition in IFRIC 12; and (iii) the Group is unable to divide its infrastructure among the public (telephony and possibly Internet services) and non-public (pay TV) service components.

Concessions for six Radio stations in the cities of San Luis Potosí, Guadalajara and Monterrey expired in 2015 and 2016. Renewal applications for these concessions were timely filed, but are still pending as certain related matters of the applicable regulations are being reviewed by the IFT. The Group’s management expects that concessions for these stations will be renewed or granted by the IFT without affecting the continuance of these Radio operations. Concessions for nine Radio stations in the cities of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Veracruz expired in 2016, and were renewed by the IFT that year. The cost paid by the Group for renewal of these concessions amounted to an aggregate of Ps.111,636, which was recognized in consolidated other intangible assets, and will be amortized in a period of 20 years by using the straight-line method (see Note 12).

The concessions or permits held by the Group are not subject to any significant pricing regulations in the ordinary course of business.

Associates are those entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally those entities with a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. Joint ventures are those joint arrangements where the Group exercises joint control with other stockholder or more stockholders without exercising control individually, and have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangements. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the net assets of the investee after the date of acquisition.

The Group’s investments in associates include an equity interest in UHI represented by 10% of the outstanding total shares of UHI as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 (see Notes 3, 9 and 10).

The Group recognizes its share of losses of an associate or a joint venture up to the amount of its initial investment, subsequent capital contributions and long-term loans, or beyond that when guaranteed commitments have been made by the Group in respect of obligations incurred by investees, but not in excess of such guarantees. If an associate or a joint venture for which the Group had recognized a share of losses up to the amount of its guarantees generates net income in the future, the Group would not recognize its share of this net income until the Group first recognizes its share of previously unrecognized losses.

If the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the investee, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. The interest in an associate or a joint venture is the carrying amount of the investment in the investee under the equity method together with any other long-term investment that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the investee. After the Group’s interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

(d) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Group’s executive officers (“chief operating decision makers”) who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance for each of the Group’s operating segments.

(e) Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The presentation and functional currency of the Group’s consolidated financial statements is the Mexican peso, which is used for compliance with its legal and tax obligations.

64 of 76

Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or measurement where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement as part of finance income or expense, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are analyzed between exchange differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are recognized in income or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.

Translation of Foreign Operations

The financial statements of the Group’s foreign entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (a) assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position; (b) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and (c) all resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Translation differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.

Assets and liabilities of non-Mexican subsidiaries that use the Mexican Peso as a functional currency are translated into Mexican Pesos by utilizing the exchange rate of the statement of financial position date for monetary assets and liabilities, and historical exchange rates for non-monetary items, with the related adjustment included in the consolidated statement of income as finance income or expense.

The Group has designated as an effective hedge of foreign exchange exposure, a portion of the outstanding principal amount of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt in connection with its net investment in shares of common stock of UHI, which amounted to U.S.$350.7 million (Ps.7,236,587) and U.S.$330.5 million (Ps.5,685,748) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Consequently, any foreign exchange gain or loss attributable to this designated hedging long-term debt is credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income or loss as a cumulative result from foreign currency translation (see Note 10).

The Group has designated a portion of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt as a fair value hedge of foreign exchange exposure related to its investment in UHI Warrants and the initial investment in Open Ended Fund. A portion of the outstanding principal amount of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt (hedging instrument, disclosed in the line “Long-term debt, net of current portion” of the consolidated statement of financial position) is hedging its investment in Warrants exercisable for common stock of UHI and the initial investment in Open Ended Fund (hedged items), which amounted to Ps.38,298,606 (U.S.$1,855.9 million) and Ps.3,817,586 (U.S.$180.0 million) and Ps.35,042,577 (U.S.$2,035.5 million) and Ps.3,184,960 (U.S.$180.0 million) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The other changes in fair value of the Warrants are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss. Consequently, any foreign currency gain or loss attributable to these designated hedged warrants is recognized within foreign exchange gain or loss in the consolidated statement of income, along with the recognition in the same line item of any foreign exchange gain or loss of the designated hedging instrument long-term debt (see Notes 9, 13 and 17).

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Temporary Investments

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash is stated at nominal value and cash equivalents are measured at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recognized in the income statement.

Temporary investments consist of short-term investments in securities, including without limitation debt with a maturity of over three months and up to one year at the date of acquisition, stock and other financial instruments, or a combination thereof, as well as current maturities of noncurrent held-to-maturity securities. Temporary investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in finance income in the consolidated income statement, except the current maturities of non-current held-to-maturity securities which are measured at amortized cost.

65 of 76

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, cash equivalents and temporary investments primarily consisted of fixed short-term deposits and corporate fixed income securities denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos, with an average yield of approximately 0.36% for U.S. dollar deposits and 4.06% for Mexican peso deposits in 2016, and approximately 0.15% for U.S. dollar deposits and 3.09% for Mexican peso deposits in 2015.

(g) Transmission Rights and Programming

Programming is comprised of programs, literary works, production talent advances and films.

Transmission rights and literary works are valued at the lesser of acquisition cost and net realizable value. Programs and films are valued at the lesser of production cost, which consists of direct production costs and production overhead, and net realizable value. Payments for production talent advances are initially capitalized and subsequently included as direct or indirect costs of program production. Transmission rights are recognized from the point of which the legally enforceable license period begins. Until the license term commences and the programming rights are available, payments made are recognized as prepayments.

The Group’s policy is to capitalize the production costs of programs which benefit more than one annual period and amortize them over the expected period of future program revenues based on the Company’s historical revenue patterns for similar productions.

Transmission rights, programs, literary works, production talent advances and films are recorded at acquisition or production cost. Cost of sales is calculated for the month in which such transmission rights, programs, literary works, production talent advances and films are matched with related revenues.

Transmission rights are amortized over the lives of the contracts. Transmission rights in perpetuity are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the expected benefit as determined by past experience, but not exceeding 25 years.

(h) Inventories

Inventories of paper, magazines, materials and supplies for maintenance of technical equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or its net realization value. The net realization value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs to conduct the sale. Cost is determined using the average cost method.

(i) Financial Assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, fair value through income or loss and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with changes in carrying value recognized in the income statement in the line which most appropriately reflects the nature of the item or transaction. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables are presented as “trade notes and accounts receivable”, “other accounts and notes receivable” and “due from related parties” in the consolidated statement of financial position (see Note 7).

Held-to-maturity Investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment, if any. Any gain or loss arising from these investments is included in finance income or loss in the consolidated statement of income. Held-to-maturity investments are included in investments in financial instruments, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period, which are classified as temporary investments (see Note 9).

66 of 76

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through income or loss, and include debt securities and equity instruments. Debt securities in this category are those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and that may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions. Equity instruments in this category are those of companies in which the Group does not exercise joint control nor significant influence, but intent to hold for an indefinite term, and are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through income. After initial measurement, available-for-sale assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized as other comprehensive income or loss until the investment is derecognized or the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income either in other finance income or expense (debt securities) or other income or expense (equity instruments). Interest earned whilst holding available-for-sale financial assets is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method (see Notes 9 and 14).

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Income

Financial assets at fair value through income are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as non-current.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective and other-than-temporary evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset. If it is determined that a financial asset or group of financial assets have sustained a decline other than temporary in their value a charge is recognized in income in the related period.

For financial assets classified as held-to-maturity the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

Impairment of Financial Assets Recognized at Amortized Cost

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

Financial assets are offset against financial liabilities and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only when the Group (i) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (ii) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

(j) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to income or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

67 of 76

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is based upon the carrying value of the assets in use and is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset, as follows:

	Estimated useful lives
Buildings	20-65 years
Building improvements	5-20 years
Technical equipment	3-30 years
Satellite transponders	15 years
Furniture and fixtures	3-15 years
Transportation equipment	4-8 years
Computer equipment	3-6 years
Leasehold improvements	5-30 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within other income or expense in the consolidated income statement.

(k) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which include goodwill, trademarks and concessions, are not amortized, and subsequently recognized at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

	Estimated useful lives
Licenses	3-14 years
Subscriber lists	4-10 years
Other intangible assets	3-20 years

Trademarks

The Group determines its trademarks to have an indefinite life when they are expected to generate net cash inflows for the Group indefinitely. Additionally, the Group considers that there are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that limit the useful lives of trademarks.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s management evaluated trademarks in its Cable segment to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life for these intangible assets. As a result of such evaluation, the Company identified certain businesses and locations that began migrating from a current trademark to an internally developed trademark between 2015 and 2016, in connection with enhanced service packages offered to current and new subscribers, and estimated that this migration process will take approximately four years. Accordingly, beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Group changed the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite for acquired trademarks in certain businesses and locations in its Cable segment, and began to amortize on a straight line basis the related carrying value of these trademarks when the migration to the new trademark started using an estimated useful life of four years. The Group has not capitalized any amounts associated with internally developed trademarks.

Concessions

The Group defined concessions to have an indefinite life due to the fact that the Group has a history of renewing its concessions upon expiration, has maintained the concessions granted by the Mexican government, and has no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to generate net cash inflows. In addition, the Group is committed to continue to invest for the long term to extend the period over which the broadcasting and telecommunications concessions are expected to continue to provide economic benefits.

68 of 76

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group’s interest in net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units (“CGUs”), or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized as an expense and may be subsequently reversed under certain circumstances.

(l) Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Group reviews for impairment the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, tangible and intangible, including goodwill (see Note 12), at least once a year, or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that these carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. To determine whether an impairment exists, the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared with its recoverable amount. Fair value estimates are based on quoted market values in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including discounted value of estimated future cash flows, market multiples or third-party appraisal valuations.

(m) Trade Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Trade accounts payable and accrued expenses are presented as a single item of consolidated current liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

(n) Debt

Debt is recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Debt is subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the debt using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of debt facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Current portion of long-term debt and interest payable are presented as a single line item of consolidated current liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Debt early redemption costs are recognized as finance expense in the consolidated statement of income.

(o) Customer Deposits and Advances

Customer deposit and advance agreements for advertising services provide that customers receive prices that are fixed for the contract period for advertising time in the Group’s platforms based on rates established by the Group. Such rates vary depending on when the advertisement is made, including the season, hour, day and type of programming.

69 of 76

(p) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provisions due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

(q) Equity

The capital stock and other equity accounts include the effect of restatement through December 31, 1997, determined by applying the change in the Mexican National Consumer Price Index between the dates capital was contributed or net results were generated and December 31, 1997, the date through which the Mexican economy was considered hyperinflationary under the guidelines of the IFRSs. The restatement represented the amount required to maintain the contributions and accumulated results in Mexican Pesos in purchasing power as of December 31, 1997.

Where any company in the Group purchases shares of the Company’s capital stock (shares repurchased), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to stockholders of the Company until the shares are cancelled, reissued, or sold. Where such shares repurchased are subsequently reissued or sold, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to stockholders of the Company.

(r) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for services provided. The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities, as described below. The Group bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

The Group derives the majority of its revenues from media and entertainment-related business activities both in Mexico and internationally. Revenues are recognized when the service is provided and collection is probable. A summary of revenue recognition policies by significant activity is as follows:

•	Advertising revenues, including deposits and advances from customers for future advertising, are recognized at the time the advertising services are rendered.

•	Revenues from program services for network subscription and licensed and syndicated television programs are recognized when the programs are sold and become available for broadcast.

•	Sky program service revenues, including advances from customers for future direct-to-home (“DTH”) program services, are recognized at the time the service is provided.

•	Cable television, internet and telephone subscription, and pay-per-view and installation fees are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.

•	Revenues from other telecommunications and data services are recognized in the period in which these services are provided. Other telecommunications services include long distance and local telephony, as well as leasing and maintenance of telecommunications facilities.

•	Revenues from magazine subscriptions are initially deferred and recognized proportionately as products are delivered to subscribers. Revenues from the sales of magazines are recognized on the date of circulation of delivered merchandise, net of a provision for estimated returns.

•	Revenues from publishing distribution are recognized upon distribution of the products.

•	Revenues from attendance to soccer games, including revenues from advance ticket sales for soccer games and other promotional events, are recognized on the date of the relevant event.

•	Motion picture production and distribution revenues are recognized as the films are exhibited.

•	Gaming revenues consist of the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between amounts wagered and amounts paid to winning patrons.

70 of 76

In respect to sales of multiple products or services, the Group evaluates whether it has fair value evidence for each deliverable in the transaction. For example, the Group sells cable television, internet and telephone subscription to subscribers in a bundled package at a rate lower than if the subscriber purchases each product on an individual basis. Subscription revenues received from such subscribers are allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the fair value of each of the respective services.

(s) Interest Income

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

(t) Employee Benefits

Pension and Seniority Premium Obligations

Plans exist for pensions and seniority premiums (post-employment benefits), for most of the Group’s employees funded through irrevocable trusts. Increases or decreases in the consolidated liability or asset for post-employment benefits are based upon actuarial calculations. Contributions to the trusts are determined in accordance with actuarial estimates of funding requirements. Payments of post-employment benefits are made by the trust administrators. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation.

Remeasurement of post-employment benefit obligations related to experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions of post-employment benefits are recognized in the period in which they are incurred as part of other comprehensive income or loss in consolidated equity.

Profit Sharing

The employees’ profit sharing required to be paid under certain circumstances in Mexico, is recognized as a direct benefit to employees in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which it is incurred.

Termination Benefits

Termination benefits, which mainly represent severance payments by law, are recorded in the consolidated statement of income. The Group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.

(u) Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the income tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. For this purpose, the Group takes into consideration all available positive and negative evidence, including factors such as market conditions, industry analysis, projected taxable income, carryforward periods, current tax structure, potential changes or adjustments in tax structure, and future reversals of existing temporary differences.

71 of 76

Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are provided on deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefit of the temporary difference and it is expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. In the last quarter of 2013, the Mexican Congress enacted a new Tax Reform (the “2014 Tax Reform”), which became effective as of January 1, 2014. Among the tax reforms approved by the Mexican Congress, one of the most relevant changes was the elimination of the tax consolidation regime allowed for Mexican controlling companies through December 31, 2013 (see Note 23).

(v) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group recognizes derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position and measures such instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative financial instrument and the resulting designation. For a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of such derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified into income when the hedged exposure affects income. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in income immediately. For a derivative financial instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributed to the risk being hedged. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to income or loss. For derivative financial instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in income in the period of change. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, certain derivative financial instruments qualified for hedge accounting (see Note 14).

(w) Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the period includes the net income for the period presented in the consolidated statement of income plus other comprehensive income for the period reflected in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

(x) Share-based Payment Agreements

Key officers and employees of certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into agreements for the conditional sale of Company’s shares under the Company’s Long-Term Retention Plan. The share-based compensation expense is measured at fair value at the date the equity benefits are conditionally sold to these officers and employees, and is recognized as a charge to consolidated income (administrative expense) over the vesting period (see Note 16). The Group recognized a share-based compensation expense of Ps.1,410,492, Ps.1,199,489 and Ps.844,788 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which Ps.1,392,534, Ps.1,184,524 and Ps.821,626 was credited in consolidated stockholders’ equity for those years, respectively.

(y) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset.

Leases of property, plant and equipment other assets where the Group holds substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance lease assets are capitalized at the commencement of the lease term at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the lease asset. The obligations relating to finance leases, net of finance charges in respect of future periods, are recognized as liabilities. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards are held by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated at the lesser of its useful life or contract term.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture were issued in September 2014 and address and acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 (2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involved a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involve assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of these amendments indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting.

Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative were issued in January 2016 and clarify that companies should provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.

Amendments to IAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses were issued in January 2016 and clarify the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses, to address diversity in practice. Earlier application is permitted.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) was issued in May 2014. IFRS 15 provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. This standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. IFRS 15 is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. When IFRS 15 is adopted, it can be applied either on a fully retrospective basis, requiring the restatement of the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, or with the cumulative retrospective impact of IFRS 15 applied as an adjustment to equity on the date of adoption; when the latter approach is applied it is necessary to disclose the impact of IFRS 15 on each line item in the consolidated financial statements in the reporting period. The Group is expected to be impacted to some extent by the significant increase in required disclosures. The Company’s management is currently in the process of assessing the changes that are beyond disclosures, and the effect of the adoption of this standard regarding technology systems, processes, and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting. The Group has initially reviewed a majority of its revenue arrangements and expects its review to be completed in the third quarter of 2017.

Amendments to IFRS 15 Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers were issued in April 2016. These amendments clarify how to: (i) identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or a service to a customer) in a contract; (ii) determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the good or service to be provided); and (iii) determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, these amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies IFRS 15. The amendments have the same effective date as IFRS 15.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”) that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured at amortized cost and those measured at fair value. The determination is made at initial recognition. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The guidance in IAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply. For financial liabilities, this standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. Some amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) were issued in December 2011. These amendments to IFRS 9 modify the mandatory effective date of this standard and the relief from restating prior periods, and also add transition disclosures to IFRS 7 that are required to be applied when IFRS 9 is first applied. The Company’s management is currently evaluating the impact IFRS 9 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle were published in December 2016 and set out amendments to certain IFRSs. These amendments result from proposals made during the IASB’s Annual Improvements process, which provides a vehicle for making non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRSs. The IFRSs amended and the topics addressed by these amendments are as follows:

Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle	Subject of Amendment
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities	Clarification of the scope of the Standard.
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards	Deletion of short-term exemptions for first-time adopters.
IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures	Measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value.

Amendments to IAS 40 Investment Property were issued in December 2016 and clarify the requirements on transfers to, or from, investment property.

IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration was issued in December 2016 and addresses the exchange rate to use in transactions that involve advance consideration paid or received in a foreign currency.

Amendments to IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions were issued in June 2016 and clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions.

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The major change introduced by IFRS 16 is that leases will be brought onto the companies’ statements of financial position, increasing the visibility of their assets and liabilities. IFRS 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee, treating all long-term leases as finance leases. Short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of low-value assets are exempt from the requirements. Early application of IFRS 16 is permitted as long as the IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is also applied. The Company’s management is currently evaluating the impact IFRS 16 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. While the Group is not yet in a position to assess the full impact of the application of the new standard, the Group expects that the impact of recording the lease liabilities and the corresponding right-to-use assets will increase its consolidated total assets and liabilities primarily in connection with its non-cancellable lease commitments and payment commitments for the use of satellite transponders (see Note 26), with a minimal effect on its consolidated equity.

Amendments to IFRS 4 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts were issued in September 2016 and address concerns arising from implementing the new financial instruments Standard, IFRS 9, before implementing the replacement Standard that the Board is developing for IFRS 4. These concerns include temporary volatility in reported results.
