Mexico City, D.F., April 14, 2011—Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or “the Company”), today announced results for first quarter 2011. The results have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (Mexican FRS).

The following table sets forth a condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, in millions of Mexican pesos, as well as the percentage that each line represents of net sales and the percentage change when comparing 2011 with 2010:

Consolidated net sales increased 8.7% to Ps.13,199.6 million in first quarter 2011 compared with Ps.12,147 million in first quarter 2010. This increase was attributable to revenue growth across most of our business segments with the exception of Television Broadcasting and Publishing. Growth was especially strong in our telecom businesses.

Controlling interest net income decreased 17.8% to Ps.870.7 million in first quarter 2011 compared with Ps.1,059.4 million in first quarter 2010. The net decrease of Ps.188.7 million reflected primarily an increase of Ps.294 million in depreciation and amortization that was partially compensated by other favorable effects during the quarter.

Television
Broadcasting
First-quarter sales decreased 1.8% to Ps.4,105.6 million compared with Ps.4,179.2 million in first quarter 2010. This decrease mainly reflects the absence of Grupo Carso as an advertising client. Televisa’s content continues to outperform. For example, the final episode of Teresa was the highest rated show in the quarter with an audience share of 53.06%. Additionally, the top ten rated shows on over-the-air television in Mexico were transmitted by Televisa. Upfront deposits represented 87.5% of revenues during the quarter and the remaining were sales in the spot market. This figure compares with 88.5% in first quarter 2010.
 
First-quarter operating segment income decreased 11% to Ps.1,427.9 million compared with Ps.1,604.2 million in first quarter 2010; the margin was 34.8%. The decrease in margin of 360 basis points is a consequence of the absence of Grupo Carso as a client, as well as incremental costs and expenses related to new programs.
   
Pay Television Networks
First-quarter sales increased 9.5% to Ps.768.4 million compared with Ps.701.5 million in first quarter 2010. The increase was driven by the addition of pay-TV subscribers in Mexico as well as higher advertising sales, which represented 16.9% of segment revenue during the quarter. These results no longer include the consolidation of TuTV, which was transferred to Univision as part of the recently closed deal. Additionally, the segment was impacted by a negative translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated sales amounting to Ps.43.8 million.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 9.7% to Ps.361.3 million compared with Ps.329.5 million in first quarter 2010, and the margin was 47%. This result reflects higher sales as well as an increase in cost of sales and operating expenses, driven mainly by investments made in the production of content and acquisition of movies.
 
Programming Exports
First-quarter sales increased 19.7% to Ps.790.2 million compared with Ps.660.1 million in first quarter 2010. The increase was attributable to an increase in royalties from Univision, from US$32.9 million in first quarter 2010 to US$46.5 million in 2011, and higher programming sales mainly in Europe. This increase was partially offset by lower sales in Asia and Latin America, as well as a negative translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated sales amounting to Ps.34.9 million.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 24.6% to Ps.367.4 million compared with Ps.294.9 million in first quarter 2010, and the margin increased to 46.5%. These results reflect higher sales that were partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses, mainly explained by additional amortizations of coproduced programming.
 
Publishing
First-quarter sales decreased 11.1% to Ps.609.7 million compared with Ps.685.5 million in first quarter 2010. Circulation and advertising sales abroad as well as in Mexico decreased due to a lower number of magazines in the portfolio. Additionally, these results reflect the absence of revenue generated by the rights of the Soccer World Cup Album and a negative translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated sales which amounted to approximately Ps.20.4 million.
   
 
First-quarter operating segment income decreased 19.4% to Ps.19.9 million compared with Ps.24.7 million in first quarter 2010, and the margin was 3.3%. This decrease reflects lower sales that were partially offset by i) lower paper and printing costs in connection with a reduction in the number of titles published as well as a positive translation effect on foreign-currency-denominated costs; and ii) lower operating expenses due to nonrecurrent charges such as a decrease in allowances and doubtful accounts.
 
Sky
First-quarter sales increased 14.5% to Ps.3,028.9 million compared with Ps.2,645.9 million in first quarter 2010. The increase was driven by solid growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained mainly by the continued success of Sky’s low-cost offerings. As of March 31, 2010, the number of gross active subscribers increased to 3,312,106 (including 151,677 commercial subscribers), compared with 2,197,302 (including 145,420 commercial subscribers) as of March 31, 2010. Sky added 268 thousand subscribers during the quarter and closed the quarter with more than 149 thousand subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 27.6% to Ps.1,425.5 million compared with Ps.1,116.8 million in first quarter 2010, and the margin increased to 47.1%. This increase reflects higher sales as well as the absence of Ps.48 million in amortized costs related to the exclusive transmission of certain 2010 World Cup matches.
 
Cable and Telecom
First-quarter sales increased 17.9% to Ps.3,229.7 million compared with Ps.2,740.3 million in first quarter 2010. This increase was attributable to i) the addition of approximately 480 thousand revenue generating units (RGUs) in Cablevisión, Cablemás, and TVI during the last twelve months driven mainly by the success of our competitive triple-play bundles and the low penetration of broadband in Mexico; and ii) an improved sales mix in Bestel. Year-over-year, Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI and Bestel net sales increased 12.5%, 13%, 16.3%, and 40.6%, respectively.

Other Businesses
First-quarter sales increased 18.1% to Ps.949.5 million compared with Ps.803.8 million in first quarter 2010. Businesses that performed well include soccer and gaming. The results of our gaming business were driven by the continued success of the soccer-related lottery game. The soccer business benefited from the consolidation of the teams Necaxa and San Luis.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment loss decreased 29.3% to Ps.65.5 million compared with Ps.92.7 million in first quarter 2010, reflecting i) solid results in our gaming and radio businesses; and ii) a reduction in losses in our internet, publishing distribution and feature-film distribution businesses.
 
 
Corporate Expenses

Share-based compensation expense in first quarter 2011 and 2010 amounted to Ps.167.5 million and Ps.98.9 million, respectively, and was accounted for as corporate expense. Share-based compensation expense is measured at fair value at the time the equity benefits are granted to officers and employees, and is recognized over the vesting period.

Non-operating Results

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, increased by Ps.16.5 million, to Ps.34.9 million for first quarter 2011, compared with Ps.18.4 million for first quarter 2010. This variation reflected primarily a higher expense in financial advisory and professional services, and an increase in donations.

Integral Cost of Financing

The net expense attributable to integral cost of financing increased by Ps.253.1 million, or 48%, to Ps.780.6 million for first quarter 2011 from Ps.527.5 million for first quarter 2010. This increase reflected primarily i) a Ps.68.3 million decrease in interest income explained mainly by a lower average amount of cash equivalents and temporary investments in first quarter 2011; and ii) a Ps.199.7 million increase in foreign-exchange loss resulting primarily from the liquidation in first quarter 2011 of a related hedge derivative contract as a result of the prepayment of an outstanding credit facility of Empresas Cablevisión. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.14.9 million decrease in interest expense, due principally to a gain in derivative interest contracts, which effect was partially offset by an increase in interest expense, due primarily to a higher principal amount of long-term debt in first quarter 2011.

Equity in Losses of Affiliates, Net

Equity in losses of affiliates, net, decreased by Ps.17.5 million, or 15.1%, to Ps.98.2 million in first quarter 2011 compared to Ps.115.7 million in first quarter 2010. This decrease reflected mainly the absence of equity in loss of Volaris, a low-cost carrier airline in which we formerly held a 25% interest, which investment we disposed of in July 2010, as well as a decrease in equity in loss of La Sexta, our 40.8% interest in a free-to-air television channel in Spain.

Equity in losses of affiliates, net, for first quarter 2011, is comprised primarily by the equity in loss of La Sexta.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased by Ps.180.6 million, or 30.4%, to Ps.414.1 million in first quarter 2011 from Ps.594.7 million in first quarter 2010. This decrease reflected both a lower income-tax base and a lower effective income-tax rate.

Non-controlling Interest Net Income

Non-controlling interest net income increased by Ps.136.3 million, or 64.1%, to Ps.348.9 million in first quarter 2011, from Ps.212.6 million in first quarter 2010. This increase reflected primarily a higher portion of consolidated net income attributable to interests held by non-controlling equity owners in our Sky segment.

Other Relevant Information

Capital Expenditures and Investments

During first quarter 2011, we invested approximately US$144.1 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures, including approximately US$74.8 million for our Cable and Telecom segment, US$58 million for our Sky segment, and US$11.3 million for our Television Broadcasting segment and other businesses.

Our investment in property, plant, and equipment in our Cable and Telecom segment during first quarter 2011 included approximately US$17.8 million for Cablevisión, US$30 million for Cablemás, US$16.2 million for TVI, and US$10.8 million for Bestel.

During first quarter 2011, we capitalized the short-term loans made to La Sexta in 2010, in the principal amount of €21.5 million, and our interest in La Sexta increased from 40.5% to 40.8%.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our consolidated net debt position (total debt less cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, and noncurrent held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments) was Ps.13,219.6 million and Ps.12,717.3 million, respectively. The aggregate amount of noncurrent held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 amounted to Ps.2,901.8 million and Ps.3,858.1 million, respectively.

In March 2011, our majority-owned subsidiary, Empresas Cablevisión, prepaid an outstanding credit facility in the principal amount of US$225 million.

In March 2011, the Company entered into long-term credit agreements with four Mexican banks in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.8,600 million with an annual interest rate between 8.09% and 9.4%, payable on a monthly basis, and principal maturities between 2016 and 2021. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. Under the terms of these loan agreements, the Company is required to maintain certain financial coverage ratios related to indebtedness and interest expense.

Shares Repurchased and Outstanding

During first quarter 2011, we repurchased 0.2 million CPOs in the aggregate amount of Ps.12.6 million.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our shares outstanding amounted to 325,464 million and 325,023 million shares, respectively; and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,782 million and 2,778 million CPO equivalents, respectively. Not all of our shares are in the form of CPOs. The number of CPO equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of shares outstanding by 117.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 556.3 million and 555.6 million GDS equivalents, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of CPO equivalents by five.

Television Ratings and Audience Share

National urban ratings and audience share reported by IBOPE confirm that, in first quarter 2011, 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 69%; in prime time (16:00 to 23:00, Monday to Sunday), audience share amounted to 66.8%; and in sign-on to sign-off (6:00 to 24:00, Monday to Sunday), audience share amounted to 68%.

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.
