Net sales increased 14.8% to Ps.15,156.6 million in first quarter 2012 compared with Ps.13,199.6 million in first quarter 2011. This increase was attributable to double-digit growth across all of our business segments. Operating segment income increased 21.9%, reaching Ps.5,639.1 million with a margin of 36.5%.

Controlling Interest Net Income increased to Ps.1,505.9 million in first quarter 2012 compared to Ps.780.4 million in first quarter 2011. The net increase of Ps.725.5 million reflected primarily i) a Ps.1,011.2 million increase in operating segment income; ii) a Ps.368.4 million decrease in finance expense, net; and iii) a Ps.107 million variation in equity in results of associates, net. These favorable variances were partially offset by i) a Ps.384.2 million increase in income taxes; ii) a Ps.271.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and iii) a Ps.98 million increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interest.

Advertising revenue grew by 9.7%. These results reflect remarkably strong ratings and solid audience share in our flagship Channel 2. Twenty-eight of the top-thirty rated programs in Mexico during the quarter were transmitted by Televisa. In addition to our popular novelas, on Channel 2, we produced and broadcast América Celebra a Chespirito, which was the highest-rated show in Mexico during the quarter, obtaining an audience share of 53.6%.
 
 
Also transmitted on Channel 2, our Sunday afternoon show Parodiando was the second-highest rated show during the quarter, obtaining an average audience share of 47.8%. Advertising revenue on our pay-TV networks continued to grow, explained by the ongoing expansion of pay-TV penetration.

The growth in Network Subscription Revenue was driven mainly by the sustained addition of pay-TV subscribers, mostly in Mexico. We closed the first quarter 2012 with 30.3 million subscribers carrying an average of 5.8 networks compared with 26.8 million subscribers carrying an average of 5.3 networks in first quarter 2011.

The increase in Licensing and Syndication revenue is explained mainly by i) an increase in royalties from Univision, from US$46.5 million in first quarter 2011 to US$53.5 million in first quarter 2012; ii) revenues from the new Netflix agreement; and iii) an increase in sales to the rest of the world, principally in Latin America.
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 20.1% to Ps.2,597.6 million compared with Ps.2,163.6 million in first quarter 2011; the margin increased to 40.1%. The incremental costs and expenses incurred during the quarter were related mainly to special programs such as América Celebra a Chespirito and the transmission of the pre-Olympic soccer matches of the Mexican team.
 
Publishing
First-quarter sales increased 14.1% to Ps.695.6 million compared with Ps.609.7 million in first quarter 2011. Most of the growth was driven by an increase in advertising revenues in Mexico and abroad, as well as higher circulation revenue abroad. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower circulation revenue in Mexico. Sales outside Mexico represented 62.3% of the segment compared with 58.4% in the same quarter of 2011.
   
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 65.3% to Ps.33.4 million compared with Ps.20.2 million in first quarter 2011, and the margin was 4.8%. This increase reflects higher sales, partially offset by higher paper, printing and editing costs.
 
Sky
First-quarter sales grew by 11.8% to Ps.3,386.7 million compared with Ps.3,028.9 million in first quarter 2011. The increase was driven by solid growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained by the continued success of Sky’s low-cost offerings. The number of net active subscribers increased by 275,231 during the quarter to 4,283,605 (including 160,108 commercial subscribers) as of March 31, 2012, compared with 3,312,106 (including 151,677 commercial subscribers) as of March 31, 2011. Sky ended the quarter with 164,498 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income increased 10.3% to Ps.1,571.8 million compared with Ps.1,425.6 million in first quarter 2011, and the margin was 46.4%. These results reflect an increase in sales that was partially offset by higher costs and expenses inherent to the growth in the subscriber base, mainly in the lower-cost packages.
 
Cable and Telecom
First-quarter sales increased 16.8% to Ps.3,771.1 million compared with Ps.3,229.7 million in first quarter 2011. This increase was attributable mainly to the addition of 142,986 revenue generating units (RGUs) in Cablevisión, Cablemás, and TVI during the quarter as a result of the success of our competitive packages. Voice and data RGUs continued to be the main drivers of growth, growing on average 28% and 34% compared with 2011, respectively.

The increase is also explained by an improved sales mix in Bestel, which increased revenue derived from broadband services. Year-over-year, Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI and Bestel net sales increased 14.1%, 18.7%, 18.2%, and 18.1% respectively.

First-quarter operating segment income increased 24.7% to Ps.1,330.5 million compared with Ps.1,067.3 million in first quarter 2011, and the margin reached 35.3%. These results reflect continued growth in the customer base of cable platforms. In Bestel the margins expanded from 14.4% in first quarter 2011 to 27.2% in first quarter 2012. This increase was driven by stronger revenues and lower interconnection rates.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our four cable and telecom subsidiaries for the quarter.

Other Businesses
First-quarter sales increased 23.1% to Ps.1,117 million compared with Ps.907.6 million in first quarter 2011. Our gaming and feature-film distribution businesses performed well during the quarter. In gaming, most of the growth was driven by the performance of PlayCity. Our feature-film distribution business benefited mainly from the success of the film La Dama de Negro.
 
 
First-quarter operating segment income reached Ps.105.8 million compared with a loss of Ps.48.8 million in first quarter 2011, mainly reflecting an increase in profitability in the soccer, gaming, and radio businesses.
 
Corporate Expenses

Share-based compensation expense in first quarter 2012 and 2011 amounted to Ps.159.8 million and Ps.167.5 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, increased by Ps.7.4 million, or 24.4%, to a Ps.37.7 million for first quarter 2012, compared with Ps.30.3 million for first quarter 2011. The increase reflected primarily a higher expense related to financial advisory and professional services. This effect was partially offset by a non-cash gain on disposition of our 40.8% interest in La Sexta, a free-to-air television channel in Spain, in exchange for a 14.5% equity stake in Imagina Media Audiovisual, S.L. (“Imagina”), as well as by lower expenses related to donations.

The finance expense, net, decreased by Ps.368.4 million, or 39%, to Ps.576.2 million for first quarter 2012 from Ps.944.6 million for first quarter 2011. This decrease reflected primarily i) a Ps.302.9 million increase in foreign unhedged exchange gain resulting primarily from the favorable effect of a 8.4% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the US dollar on our average net US dollar liability position in first quarter 2012 compared with a 3.8% appreciation and a lower average net US dollar liability position in first quarter 2011; and ii) a Ps.261.7 million decrease in other finance expense, net. These favorable variances were partially offset by i) a Ps.183.2 million increase in interest expense, due primarily to a higher average principal amount of long-term debt in first quarter 2012; and ii) a Ps.13 million decrease in interest income explained primarily by a lower average amount of cash and cash equivalents in first quarter 2012.

Equity in Results of Associates, net

Equity in results of associates, net, varied by Ps.107 million to an equity in earnings of associates, net, of Ps.9.1 million in first quarter 2012 from an equity in losses of associates, net, of Ps.97.9 million in first quarter 2011. This increase reflected mainly the absence of equity in loss of La Sexta, a free-to-air television channel in Spain, in first quarter 2012, in connection with the exchange of our equity interest in La Sexta for a participation in Imagina.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by Ps.384.2 million to Ps.762.2 million in first quarter 2012 compared with Ps.378 million in first quarter 2011. This increase reflected primarily a higher income tax base.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest increased by Ps.98 million, or 27.9%, to Ps.448.8 million in first quarter 2012, compared with Ps.350.8 million in first quarter 2011. This increase reflected primarily a higher portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interest in our Cable and Telecom and Sky segments.
 
Other Relevant Information

These capital expenditures include approximately US$91.4 million for our Cable and Telecom segment, US$51.8 million for our Sky segment, and US$12.9 million for our Content segment and other businesses.

Our investment in property, plant and equipment in our Cable and Telecom segment during first quarter  2012 included approximately US$21.2 million for Cablevisión, US$48.5 million for Cablemás, US$14.2 million for TVI, and US$7.5 million for Bestel.

As of March 31, 2012, 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.27,227 million. The aggregate amount of noncurrent held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2012, amounted to Ps.3,281.8 million.

Convertible Debentures Issued by GSF

In February 2012, we were notified of the resolution by which the Mexican Antitrust Commission did not approve the conversion of the debentures issued by GSF, the controlling company of Iusacell, into common stock of GSF. In March 2012, we filed an appeal before the Mexican Antitrust Commission requesting that it reverses its resolution and authorizes the conversion. The appeal is currently under review by the authority, which has a deadline of 60 business days to issue a new resolution.

Shares Outstanding

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our shares outstanding amounted to 331,430.2 million and 330,862.1 million shares, respectively, and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,832.7 million and 2,827.9 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 566.6 million and 565.6 million GDS equivalents, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of CPO equivalents by five.

Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

In the first quarter of 2009, the Mexican Bank and Securities Commission issued regulations for listed companies in Mexico requiring the adoption of IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to report comparative financial information for periods beginning no later than January 1, 2012. Accordingly, beginning on January 1, 2012, we discontinued using Mexican FRS and adopted IFRS as issued by the IASB for financial reporting purposes. As a result, our consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2012, is presented on a comparative and condensed basis in accordance with IFRS, and is not directly comparative with our consolidated financial information previously reported.

The impact of the initial adoption of IFRS as measured by the aggregate amount of adjustments made to our previously reported consolidated statements of financial position and income as of December 31, 2011 and for the year ended on that date, was less than 1% of total consolidated assets and stockholders’ equity under Mexican FRS, and less than 3% of consolidated net income under Mexican FRS.

Explanatory Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
The main differences between IFRS and Mexican FRS as they relate to the initial adoption of IFRS in our condensed consolidated statements of financial position are related to:
 
1. The recognition as deemed cost of fair value provided by independent appraisals on selected real estate property owned by us as of January 1, 2011.
 
2. Adjustments made to the carrying value of certain non-current assets to eliminate the effects of inflation recognized under Mexican FRS as of January 1, 2011.
 
3. The deferred financing costs, primarily consisting of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt, are classified as part of the outstanding balance of debt under IFRS, and were classified as non-current assets under Mexican FRS.
 
4. The recognition of a long-term liability under IFRS for retirement of certain leasehold improvements classified in property, plant and equipment.
 
5. The IFRS adjustments to retirement and termination benefits in connection with the write-off of severance indemnities determined under Mexican FRS and the classification of the unamortized actuarial gain or loss as part of other accumulated comprehensive income in consolidated equity.
 
6. The adjustments made to capital stock and additional paid-in-capital to eliminate the effects of inflation recognized under Mexican FRS.
 
7. The adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income in consolidated equity in connection with the cumulative foreign currency translation loss as of January 1, 2011, which was classified as retained earnings at such date, and the change in fair value of an embedded derivative in a host contract, which amount was recognized as other finance expense in 2011 under IFRS.
 
8. The adjustments to retained earnings for those IFRS adjustments recognized as of January 1, 2011, the transition date for the initial adoption of IFRS.
 
The main differences between IFRS and Mexican FRS as they relate to the initial adoption of IFRS in our condensed consolidated statements of income are related to:
 
9. Lower depreciation expense in connection with adjustments made to the carrying value of selected real estate property owned by us as of January 1, 2011.
 
10. Lower amortization expense in connection with adjustments made to the carrying value of certain intangible assets to eliminate the effects of inflation recognized under Mexican FRS as of January 1, 2011.
 
11. Adjustments related to employee benefits as a result of the write-off of severance indemnities to employees accrued under Mexican FRS as of January 1, 2011, and the recognition of actuarial gains or losses in other accumulated comprehensive income in consolidated equity under IFRS beginning January 1, 2011.
 
12. The presentation of consolidated operating income, which under Mexican FRS was determined before other expense, is now determined under IFRS after other expense.
 
13. The presentation of other finance expense, net, which includes primarily changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments that were presented under Mexican FRS as part of interest expense or foreign exchange gain or loss, is now presented under IFRS on a separate basis.
 
14. Adjustments in connection with the recognition and measurement at fair value of an embedded derivative in a host contract, which was not separated under Mexican FRS.
 
15. Adjustments to deferred income taxes related to temporary differences arising from IFRS adjustments.

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.
