Consolidated Results
 
Mexico City, D.F., April 18, 2007—Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or “the Company”) today announced results for first quarter 2007. The results have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards and are adjusted in millions of Mexican pesos in purchasing power as of March 31, 2007.
 
The following table sets forth a condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in millions of Mexican pesos, as well as the percentage of net sales that each line represents, and the percentage change when comparing first quarter 2007 with first quarter 2006:

Consolidated net sales increased 5.9% to Ps.8,231.9 million in first quarter 2007 compared with Ps.7,776.2 million in first quarter 2006. This increase was attributable to revenue growth in our Sky Mexico, Other Businesses, Cable Television, Pay Television Networks, Programming Exports, and Publishing segments. These increases were partially offset by lower sales in our Television Broadcasting and Publishing Distribution segments.
 
Consolidated operating income rose 4.4% to Ps.2,367.9 million in first quarter 2007 compared with Ps.2,268 million in first quarter 2006. This increase was attributable to higher sales and lower operating expenses that were partially offset by higher cost of sales.
 
Majority interest net income decreased 45.6% to Ps.733.6 million in first quarter 2007 compared with Ps.1,348 million in first quarter 2006. The net decrease of Ps.614.4 million reflected i) a Ps.603.3 million increase in other expense, net, ii) a Ps.244.4 million increase in equity in losses of affiliates, net, iii) a Ps.119.1 million increase in minority interest net income, and iv) a Ps.35 million increase in income taxes. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by i) a Ps.99.9 million increase in operating income, and ii) a Ps.287.5 million increase in integral income of financing.

Television
Broadcasting
First-quarter sales decreased 3.8% to Ps.3,822.5 million compared with Ps.3,973.5 million in first quarter 2006. This decrease reflects primarily the absence of political advertising related to the presidential elections in Mexico sold during first quarter 2006.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income decreased 11.5% to Ps.1,540.1 million compared with Ps.1,739.9 million in first quarter 2006, and the margin decreased to 40.3%. These results reflect higher cost of sales, lower sales, and a marginal increase in operating expenses.
 
Pay Television Networks
First-quarter sales increased 32.8% to Ps.398 million compared with Ps.299.8 million in first quarter 2006. This increase reflects i) higher revenues from channels sold in Mexico and Latin America; and ii) higher sales in TuTV, our pay-television joint venture with Univision. These increases were partially offset by lower advertising sales.
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 65.8% to Ps.237.9 million compared with Ps.143.5 million in first quarter 2006, and the margin increased to 59.8%. These results were driven by higher sales that were partially offset by an increase in cost of sales.
 
Programming Exports
First-quarter sales increased 18.3% to Ps.524.6 million compared with Ps.443.5 million in first quarter 2006. This increase reflects i) a 9.1% increase in royalties from Univision, which amounted to US$29.8 million in first quarter 2007 compared with US$27.3 million in first quarter 2006; and ii) higher programming sales to Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 75.6% to Ps.236.7 million compared with Ps.134.8 million in first quarter 2006, and the margin increased to 45.1%. These results were driven by higher sales and lower operating expenses and cost of sales.
 
Publishing
First-quarter sales increased 6.6% to Ps.593.2 million compared with Ps.556.5 million in first quarter 2006. This increase reflects a greater number of advertising pages sold both in Mexico and abroad, as well as higher revenues from magazine circulation abroad. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues from magazine circulation in Mexico and a negative translation effect of foreign-currency-denominated sales amounting to Ps.6.2 million.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 15.9% to Ps.53.8 million compared with Ps.46.4 million in first quarter 2006, and the margin increased to 9.1%. These results were driven by higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses.
 
Publishing Distribution
First-quarter sales decreased 6.5% to Ps.102.5 million compared with Ps.109.6 million in first quarter 2006. This decrease reflects i) lower circulation in Mexico of magazines published by the Company, and ii) a negative translation effect of foreign-currency-denominated sales, which amounted to Ps.1.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher circulation in Mexico of magazines published by third parties.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income decreased 14.3% to Ps.7.2 million compared with Ps.8.4 million in first quarter 2006, and the margin decreased to 7%. These results reflect lower sales that were partially offset by lower cost of sales and operating expenses.
 
Sky Mexico
First-quarter sales increased 10.9% to Ps.1,983.5 million compared with Ps.1,788 million in first quarter 2006. This increase was attributable mainly to a 10.5% increase in the subscriber base. As of March 31, 2007, the number of gross active subscribers increased to 1,453,300 (including 101,100 commercial subscribers), compared with 1,315,100 (including 73,600 commercial subscribers) as of March 31, 2006.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 18.5% to Ps.965.6 million compared with Ps.814.9 million in first quarter 2006, and the margin increased to 48.7%. These results came from higher sales and lower operating expenses that were partially offset by higher cost of sales.
 
Cable Television
First-quarter sales increased 28.4% to Ps.553 million compared with Ps.430.7 million in first quarter 2006. This increase was attributable to i) a 17.2% increase in the subscriber base, which, as of March 31, 2007, reached 514,961, all of which are digital subscribers, compared with 439,306 subscribers (including 325,626 digital subscribers) reported for the first quarter 2006; ii) a 55.1% increase in broadband subscribers to 107,534 compared with 69,326 reported for the first quarter 2006; iii) higher advertising sales; and iv) a 3% average rate increase effective March 1, 2007.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 24% to Ps.202 million compared with Ps.162.9 million in first quarter 2006, and margin decreased to 36.5%. These results reflected higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses.
 
Other Businesses
Given the size of our Radio segment relative to our consolidated results, starting January 1, 2007, we are classifying the results of operation of our Radio segment in our Other Businesses segment.
 
First-quarter sales increased 32.6% to Ps.493.4 million compared with Ps.372.1 million in first quarter 2006. This increase was attributable to higher sales in our gaming, feature-film distribution, internet portal, and sporting businesses, which were partially offset by lower sales in our Radio segment.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment loss increased to Ps.87.4 million compared with a loss of Ps.17.9 million in first quarter 2006, reflecting higher cost of sales and operating expenses, which were partially offset by higher sales.
 
Corporate Expenses
In 2005, we adopted the guidelines of the International Financial Reporting Standard 2, “Share-based Payment,” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which require accruing in stockholders’ equity the share-based compensation expense measured at fair value at the time the equity benefits are granted to our officers and employees. In first quarter 2007, we recognized a share-based compensation expense of approximately Ps.30.2 million as a corporate expense.
 
Non-operating Results
 
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, increased by Ps.603.3 million to Ps.695.6 million in first quarter 2007 compared with Ps.92.3 million in first quarter 2006. This increase primarily reflected a non-cash non-recurring charge of Ps.651 million in connection with a loss on disposition of our investment in Univision in first quarter 2007.
 
Integral result of financing
The following table sets forth integral result of financing for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in millions of Mexican pesos in purchasing power as of March 31, 2007, which consisted of:

   71.8
   48.9
   22.9
Integral (income) cost of financing
   (65.9)
221.6
(287.5)
 
The integral result of financing increased by Ps.287.5 million to an income of Ps.65.9 million in first quarter 2007 from a cost of Ps.221.6 million in first quarter 2006. This increase reflected primarily i) a Ps.257.4 million increase in net foreign-exchange gain resulting primarily from an increase in the average of our unhedged monetary foreign currency asset position in conjunction with a 2.15% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in first quarter 2007; ii) a Ps.28.2 million reduction in interest expense, due primarily to a lower average amount of our consolidated debt; and iii) a Ps.24.8 million increase in interest income in connection with a higher average amount of investments in first quarter 2007 compared with last year’s comparable period. These favorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.22.9 million increase in loss from monetary position resulting primarily from a higher inflation in first quarter 2007 (1.02%) compared with first quarter 2006 (0.87%).
 
Equity in results of affiliates, net
Equity in results of affiliates, net, decreased by Ps.244.4 million to an equity in losses of affiliates of Ps.195.3 million in first quarter 2007 compared with an equity in earnings of affiliates of Ps.49.1 million in first quarter 2006. This decrease reflected a higher equity in loss of La Sexta, as well as the absence of equity income of Univision in first quarter 2007.
 
Income taxes
Income taxes increased by Ps.35 million, to Ps.567.9 million in first quarter 2007 compared with Ps.532.9 million in first quarter 2006. This decrease reflected primarily a higher income tax base in first quarter 2007.
 
Minority interest net income
Minority interest net income increased by Ps.119.1 million to Ps.241.4 million in first quarter 2007 compared with Ps.122.3 million in first quarter 2006. This increase reflected primarily the portion of net income attributable to the interest held by minority equity owners in our Sky Mexico and Cable Television segments.
 
Other Relevant Information
 
Capital expenditures and investments
In first quarter 2007, we invested approximately US$36.7 million in property, plant, and equipment as capital expenditures, including approximately U.S.$9.8 million for our Cable Television segment, US$17.1 million for Sky Mexico, U.S.$6.7 million for Gaming, and US$3.1 million for our Television Broadcasting and other businesses segments. In addition, we made investments related to our 40% interest in La Sexta for an aggregate amount of €22 million.
 
Debt
The following table sets forth our total consolidated debt and satellite transponder lease obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in millions of Mexican pesos in purchasing power as of March 31, 2006, which consisted of:

As of March 31, 2007, our consolidated net cash position was Ps.11,836.3 million, compared with a consolidated net debt of Ps.1,204.1 million, as of March 31, 2006.
 
Univision
On March 29, 2007, as a result of the closing of the merger between Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision) and an investor acquiring group, all of Televisa’s shares and warrants, with exercise prices below the per-share merger consideration, in Univision have been converted into cash in an aggregate amount of approximately US$1,094.4 million.
 
Share buyback program
During first quarter 2007, we repurchased approximately 14.3 million CPOs for Ps.891.1 million in nominal terms. At our upcoming shareholder meeting scheduled for April 27, 2007, the board of directors will propose to shareholders to cancel approximately 68 million CPOs, repurchased during 2006 and first quarter 2007.
 
Dividend proposal
The board of directors agreed to submit to the shareholder meeting a proposal to pay an extraordinary dividend of Ps.1.1 per CPO, in addition to Televisa’s ordinary dividend of Ps.0.35 per CPO, for a total of Ps.1.45 per CPO. The total amount of the dividend is approximately Ps.4,405 million and, if approved by the shareholders, would be paid on May 31, 2007. This represents a dividend yield of approximately 2.2% based on today’s CPO closing price.
 
Television ratings and audience share
National urban ratings and audience share reported by IBOPE confirm that, in first quarter 2007, Televisa continued to deliver strong ratings and audience shares. During weekday prime time (19:00 to 23:00, Monday to Friday), audience share amounted to 71.3%; in prime time (16:00 to 23:00, Monday to Sunday), audience share amounted to 69.7%; and in sign-on to sign-off (6:00 to 24:00, Monday to Sunday), audience share amounted to 70.8%.
 
Outlook for 2007
For the full year, we continue to expect Television Broadcasting sales to decrease marginally, due to last year’s non-recurring political and World Cup advertising, and operating segment income margin to remain above 50 percent.

1 National urban ratings and audience share are certified by IBOPE and are based upon IBOPE's national surveys, which are calculated seven days a week, in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and 25 other cities with a population of more than 500,000 people. “Ratings” for a period refers to the number of television sets tuned into the Company’s programs as a percentage of the total number of all television households. “Audience share” is the number of television sets tuned into the Company's programs as a percentage of the number of households watching conventional over-the-air television during that period, without regard to the number of viewers.
 
2 "Total Televisa" includes the Company's four networks as well as all local affiliates (including affiliates of Channel 4, most of which receive only a portion of their daily programming from Channel 4). Programming on affiliates of Channel 4 is generally broadcast in 12 of the 28 cities covered by national surveys. Programming on Channel 9 affiliates is broadcast in all of the cities covered by national surveys.
 
3 "Televisa Prime Time" is the time during which the Company generally charges its highest rates for its networks.
