Management commentary

Mexico City, February 20, 2025 — Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “Televisa” or “the Company”), today announced results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2024. The results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The financials statements have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the spin-off of the Company for the incorporation of Ollamani, S.A.B., which took place on January 31, 2024. Results from the Other Businesses segment’s net assets that were spun off are presented as discontinued operations.

The following table sets forth condensed consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in millions of Mexican pesos:

Revenues decreased by 6.0% to Ps.62,260.9 million in 2024 compared with Ps.66,222.8 million in 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the revenue decline in the Sky segment. Operating segment income decreased by 7.5%, translating into a 36.9% margin.

Net loss attributable to stockholders of the Company amounted to Ps.8,246.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with Ps.8,422.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The decrease of Ps.176.5 million, or 2.1%, reflected (i) a Ps.130.6 million decrease in finance expense, net; (ii) a Ps.2,665.4 million decrease in share of loss of associates and joint ventures, net; and (iii) a favorable change of Ps.2,974.2 million in income taxes.

These favorable variances were partially offset by (i) a Ps.1,035.6 million decrease in operating income before other expense; (ii) a Ps.3,665.3 million increase in other expense, net, primarily in connection with non-cash impairment adjustments of intangible assets and other long-lived assets in our Sky and Cable segments; (iii) a Ps.571.3 million decrease in income from discontinued operations; and (iv) a Ps.321.5 million decrease in net loss attributable to non-controlling interests.

Revenues and Operating Segment Income

Fourth quarter segment revenues decreased by 5.2% to Ps.15,568.5 million compared with Ps.16,422.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Revenues in our MSO operations fell by 2.3%, mainly driven by a slightly lower subscriber base. Revenues in our Enterprise Operations decreased by 6.3%. Finally, Sky’s revenues declined by 12.4%, driven by the year-on-year RGUs decrease.

Full year segment revenues decreased by 5.5% to Ps.62,730.4 million compared with Ps.66,387.7 million in 2023. This decrease was mainly explained by the 12.8% reduction in the Sky segment revenue, primarily driven by a lower video subscriber base.

Fourth quarter operating segment income decreased by 4.4% to Ps.5,607.3 million compared with Ps.5,865.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The margin reached 36.0%, increasing by around 30 basis points year-on-year due to the efficiency measures that have been implemented over the last quarters.

Full year operating segment income decreased by 7.5% to Ps.23,157.9 million compared with the Ps.25,030.5 million in 2023. The margin reached 36.9% driven by an OSI margin for our Cable segment of 39.0%.

The following table presents full year and fourth-quarter consolidated results ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, for each of our business segments. Consolidated results for the year and the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023 are presented in millions of Mexican pesos.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense decreased by Ps.275.2 million, or 26.7%, to Ps.756.0 million in 2024, from Ps.1,031.2 million in 2023 due to corporate cost measures. The decrease includes a reduction in share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense in 2024 and 2023 amounted to Ps.488.8 million and Ps.739.8 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.3,665.3 million, to Ps.4,579.1 million in 2024, from Ps.913.8 million in 2023. This increase reflected primarily non-cash items including (i) non-cash impairment adjustments in connection with goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets in our Sky segment and the Enterprise Operations within our Cable segment; (ii) a non-cash loss on disposal of property and equipment;  (iii) surcharges recognized in 2024 for income taxes from prior years; and (iv) a non-cash write-off made in 2024 of unrecoverable value added tax from prior years. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by (i) a non-cash gain on sale of property to certain companies in our former Other Businesses segment that we recognized on January 31, 2024, in connection with the spin-off that we carried out on that date; (ii) a decrease in non-recurring severance expense in connection with headcount reductions in our Cable and Sky segments; and (iii) the absence in 2024 of other expense related to damage caused in 2023 by Hurricane “Otis” in 2023 in our Cable segment.

Finance expense, net, decreased by Ps.130.6 million, or 2.7%, to a Ps.4,715.3 million in 2024, from Ps.4,845.9 million in 2023.

This decrease reflected:

(i)
a Ps.163.7 million increase in interest income, explained primarily by both a higher average amount of cash and cash equivalents in 2024, and higher interest rates for increased cash equivalents denominated in Mexican pesos in 2024; and

(ii)
a Ps.908.5 million favorable change in other finance income or loss, net, resulting from a net gain in fair value of our derivative contracts for the year ended December 31, 2024.

These favorable variances were partially offset by:

(i)
a Ps.227.4 million increase in interest expense, primarily in connection with the absence in 2024 of a net finance income related to the repurchase and prepayment of long-term debt in 2023, which was partially offset by lower interest expense resulting primarily from a lower average principal amount of debt in 2024; and

(ii)
a Ps.714.2 million increase in foreign exchange loss, net, resulting primarily from a 23.2% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on an average U.S. dollar-denominated net liability position in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with a 13.1% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on an average U.S. dollar-denominated net asset position in the year ended December 31, 2023.

Share of Loss of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of loss of associates and joint ventures, net, decreased by Ps.2,665.4 million, to Ps.1,421.2 million in 2024, from a Ps.4,086.6 million in 2023. This decrease reflected a lower share of loss of TelevisaUnivision for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily in connection with a lower amount of non-cash impairment adjustments for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized by TelevisaUnivision in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Share of loss of associates and joint ventures, net, for the year ended December 31, 2024, included primarily our share of loss of TelevisaUnivision.

7 of 90


Income Tax Benefit or Expense

Income taxes changed by Ps.2,974.2 million, to an income tax benefit of Ps.613.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from an income tax expense of Ps.2,360.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This change reflected primarily a lower amount of net income tax expense in 2024, and the absence of a non-cash income tax expense recognized in 2023 in connection with income taxes from prior years.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net

In connection with the Spin-off of businesses of our former Other Businesses segment (the “Spun-off Businesses”) that we carried out on January 31, 2024, we began presenting the results of operations of the Spun-off Businesses as income from discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income for the period of one month ended January 31, 2024, and for any comparative period presented.

We recognized income from discontinued operations in the amount of Ps.56.8 million and Ps.628.1 million for the month ended January 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, reflecting the consolidated net income of our Spun-off Businesses for those periods.

Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by Ps.321.5 million to Ps.63.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with Ps.384.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease reflected primarily a lower net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable segment.

Capital Expenditures

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we invested approximately U.S.$493.0 million (Ps.9,097.5 million) in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, total debt is presented net of finance costs in the amount of Ps.1,265.1 million and Ps.1,278.4 million, respectively.


As of December 31, 2024, our consolidated net debt position (total debt and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents, and non-current investments in financial instruments) was Ps.59,647.9 million. The non-current investments in financial instruments amounted to an aggregate of Ps.2,494.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

Debt and lease liabilities increased as of December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of the depreciation in 2024 of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on our U.S.-dollar denominated debt.

Shares Outstanding

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our shares outstanding amounted to 315,451.8 million and 323,976.5 million shares, respectively, and our CPO equivalents outstanding amounted to 2,696.2 million and 2,769.0 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, the GDS (Global Depositary Shares) equivalents outstanding amounted to 539.2 million and 553.8 million GDS equivalents, respectively. The number of GDS equivalents is calculated by dividing the number of CPOs equivalents by five.

Sustainability

In 2024 we continue to monitor and analyze our Environmental, Social, and Governance actions, and to reinforce our ESG governance with the participation of our working groups with which we seek to integrate sustainability in the business.

During this time, we strengthened our commitment to sustainability using our strategy and its four pillars as a framework for action. For the Climate-resilient Connections pillar, we began the installation of photovoltaic panels, which will reduce our purchased electric energy, reducing our Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas emissions. For our Empowering People pillar, we launched the program "Impulsa" which promotes innovation among our employees to improve operations, sustainability, and customer service. Regarding the Leading by Example pillar, we carried out a special training on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity. Finally, for our “Digital Inclusion” pillar, Fundación Televisa's program "Technolochicas" was awarded second place in the "Youth Innovation for a Sustainable Future" in North America organized by the Shneider Electric Foundation.

We keep our commitment to transparency, as we continue to prepare our Sustainability Report aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).  The Company supports the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and continues to be a signatory.

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 fourth quarter of 2024, no such financial derivatives were outstanding. Pursuant to the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), certain financial derivative transactions originally intended to serve as a hedge and in effect as of December 31, 2024, 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.

34 of 90


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 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 October to December 2024, there were no defaults or margin calls under the aforementioned financial derivative transactions.

35 of 90


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.

 
36 of 90



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 derivate 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.

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., Cable Administradora, S.A. de C.V., Corporación Novavisión, S. de R.L. 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.

Disclosure of general information about financial statements

 
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 at Avenida Vasco de Quiroga 2000, Colonia Santa Fe, 01210 Ciudad de México, México.

Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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.

The 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, 2023, 2022 and 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and include, among other disclosures, the Group’s most significant accounting policies, which were applied on a consistent basis as of December 31, 2024. The adoption of the improvements and amendments to current IFRSs effective on January 1, 2024 did not have a significant impact in these un audited condensed consolidated financial statements.
 


 
 

Disclosure of significant accounting policies

 
Material Accounting Policies
 
The principal accounting policies followed by the Group and used in the preparation of its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, and where applicable, of its interim condensed consolidated financial statements, are summarized below. These accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, once they have been submitted to the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (“Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores” and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), respectively.

(a)  Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the measurement at fair value of derivative financial instruments, financial assets, investments in equity financial instruments, plan assets of post-employment benefits and share-based payments, as described in the notes to the financial statements below.
45 of 90


 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards, requires the use of certain 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 material to the Group’s financial statements are disclosed in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated statements of income of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared to present the discontinued operations following the transaction between the Company and Televisaunivision announced on January 31, 2022 (the “TelevisaUnivision Transaction”). Accordingly, the consolidated statement of income of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021, has been re-presented from that originally reported by the Company, to present in that period the results from discontinued operations for the businesses disposed of by the Group on January 31, 2022 (see Notes 3 and 28).

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance on April 4, 2024, by the Group’s Corporate Vice President of Finance, and will be submitted for approval to the Company’s stockholders on April 26, 2024.

(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 Group 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 value 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 amount 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 except for certain equity financial instruments designated irrevocably with changes in other comprehensive income or loss.

46 of 90

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, for which its operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Group and represents a separate major line of business or operations.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative consolidated statements of income are re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

Innova is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, CVQ and Sky DTH, S.A. de C.V. (“Sky DTH”), and a direct majority-owned subsidiary of Innova Holdings, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Innova Holdings”). Sky is a satellite television provider in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic. Although the Company holds a majority of Innova’s equity and designates a majority of the members of Innova’s Board of Directors, the non-controlling interest has certain governance and veto rights in Innova, including the right to block certain transactions between the companies in the Group and Sky. These veto rights are protective in nature and do not affect decisions about relevant business activities of Innova. (see Note 29)

Grupo Telesistema and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Multimedia Telecom, S.A. de C.V., Villacezán, S.A. de C.V., Comunicaciones Tieren, S.A. de C.V., and Corporativo TD Sports, S.A. de C.V., are the subsidiaries through which the Company owns shares of the capital stock of TelevisaUnivision, the parent company of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”), representing 49.7%, 43.8%, 3.7%, 2.1%  and 0.7%, respectively, of the Group’s aggregate investment in shares of common stock issued by TelevisaUnivision as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Grupo Telesistema was the parent company of Club de Fútbol América, S.A. de C.V. and Fútbol del Distrito Federal, S.A. de C.V., which became direct subsidiaries of the Company in March 2023, in connection with the Spin-off (see Notes 3, 10, 20 and 29).
 
Concessions and Permits

The Group’s Cable, Sky and Other Businesses segments, require governmental concessions and special authorizations for the provision of telecommunications and broadcasting 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”).


47 of 90

Renewal of concessions for the Cable and Sky segments require, among others: (i) to request its renewal to IFT 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 Group holds a number of concessions by the Mexican government that authorizes it to broadcast programming over television stations for the signals of TelevisaUnivision. The payments made by the Group for these broadcasting concessions were accounted for as intangible assets in the Group’s Content segment through January 31, 2022, and are accounted as intangible assets in the Group’s Other Businesses segment after that date (see Notes 3, 13, 20 and 26).

Renewal of broadcasting concessions for the broadcast programming operations over television stations for the signals of TelevisaUnivision, requires, among others: (i) to request such renewal to IFT 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. IFT shall resolve within the year following the presentation of the request, if there is public interest in recovering the spectrum granted under the related concession, in which case it will notify its determination and proceed with the termination of the concession at the end of its fixed term. If IFT determines that there is no public interest in recovering the spectrum, it will grant the requested extension within 180 business days, provided that the concessionaire accepts, in advance, the new conditions set by IFT, which will include the payment of the fee referred to above. Such fee will be determined by IFT for the relevant concessions, considering the following elements: (i) the frequency band; (ii) the amount of spectrum; (iii) coverage of the frequency band; (iv) domestic and international benchmark regarding the market value of frequency bands; and (v) upon request of IFT, an opinion issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of IFT´s proposal for calculation of the fee.

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 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, in accordance with Mexican law (see Note 27). 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.

At December 31, 2023, the expiration dates of the Group’s concessions and permits were as follows:

In November 2018, the IFT approved (i) 23 concessions for the use of spectrum that comprise the Group’s 225 TV stations, for a term of 20 years, starting in January 2022 and ending in January 2042, and (ii) six concessions that grant the authorization to provide digital broadcasting television services of such 225 TV stations, for a term of 30 years, starting in January 2022 and ending in January 2052. In November 2018, the Group paid for the broadcasting concessions for the use of spectrum an aggregate amount of Ps.5,753,349 in cash and recognized this payment as an intangible asset in its consolidated statement of financial position. This amount is being amortized over a period of 20 years beginning on January 1, 2022, by using the straight-line method. These broadcasting concessions became part of the Group’s Other Businesses segment after the TelevisaUnivision Transaction closed on January 31, 2022 (see Notes 3, 13, 20 and 26).
 
The concessions or permits held by the Group are not subject to any significant pricing regulations in the ordinary course of business.

(c)  Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

Associates are those entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies, 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 one 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 investor’s income or loss includes its share of the investee’s income or loss and the investor’s other comprehensive income includes its share of the investee’s other comprehensive income.
 
The Group’s investments in associates include an equity interest in TelevisaUnivision represented by 43.7% and 44.4% of the outstanding total common and preferred shares of TelevisaUnivision on an as-converted basis (excluding unvested and/or unsettled stock, restricted stock units and options of TelevisaUnivision) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (see Notes 3 and 10).

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.

Any gain or loss resulting from a downstream transaction involving assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, between the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full in the Group’s financial statements. The Group adopted this accounting policy in connection with the TelevisaUnivision Transaction closed on January 31, 2022 (see Note 3), and in accordance with the guidelines of Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture, and Effective Date of Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, issued by the IASB.

(d)  Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Group’s Co-Chief 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 reporting currency of the Group’s consolidated financial statements is the Mexican peso, which is used for compliance with its legal and tax obligations.

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 statement of income as part of finance income or expense, except when recognized 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 investments in financial instruments 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); (c) stockholders' equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time capital contributions were made and earnings were generated and (d) all resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.


49 of 90


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 in foreign currencies of non-Mexican subsidiaries that use the Mexican Peso as a functional currency are initially converted to 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.

A portion of the Group’s outstanding principal amount of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt (hedging instrument, disclosed in the line item “Long-term debt, net of current portion” of the consolidated statement of financial position) has been designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation in connection with the Group’s investment in shares of TelevisaUnivision (hedged item), which amounted to U.S.$2,499.7 million (Ps.42,326,344) and U.S.$2,538.8 million (Ps.49,446,349) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Notes 10, 14 and 18).
 
A portion of the Group’s outstanding principal amount of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt (hedging instrument, disclosed in the line item “Long-term debt, net of current portion” of the consolidated statement of financial position) has been designated as a fair value hedge of foreign exchange exposure related to its investment in Open-Ended Fund (hedged item), which amounted to U.S.$39.8 million (Ps.674,451) and U.S.$39.7 million (Ps.773,209), as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, along with the recognition in the same line item of any foreign currency gain or loss of this investment in Open-Ended Fund designated as a hedged item (see Notes 9, 14 and 18).

(f)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 statement of income.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash equivalents 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 4.65% for U.S. dollar deposits and 11.09% for Mexican peso deposits in 2023, and approximately 1.53% for U.S. dollar deposits and 7.40% for Mexican peso deposits in 2022.

(g)  Transmission Rights

The Group incurs costs related to the license of the rights to use content owned by third parties and sports rights on its owned pay television platforms, which are described as transmission rights in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. The Group classifies transmission rights as current and non-current assets.

Transmission rights are valued at the lesser of acquisition cost and net realizable value.

Transmission rights are recognized from the point at which the legally enforceable license period begins. Until the license term commences and the transmission rights are available, payments made are recognized as prepayments. Cost of revenues is calculated and recorded for the month in which transmission rights are matched with related revenues.

Transmission rights are recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lives of the contracts.

(h)  Inventories

Inventories of paper, magazines, materials and supplies for maintenance of technical equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or its net realizable 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 accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). Under the guidelines of IFRS 9, the Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or loss (“FVOCIL”), or fair value through income or loss (“FVIL”), based on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset.


50 of 90

Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when the objective of holding such financial assets is to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, with changes in carrying amount recognized in the consolidated statement of income 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 that are included in non-current assets. The Group’s financial assets measured at amortized costs are primarily presented as “trade accounts receivable”, “other accounts receivable”, and “due from related parties” in the consolidated statement of financial position (see Note 7).
 
Financial Assets Measured at FVOCIL

Financial assets are measured at FVOCIL when the objective of holding such financial assets is both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group’s investments in certain equity instruments have been designated to be measured at FVOCIL, as permitted by IFRS 9. In connection with this designation, any amounts presented in consolidated other comprehensive income are not subsequently transferred to consolidated income. Dividends from these equity instruments are recognized in consolidated income when the right to receive payment of the dividend is established, and such dividend is probable to be paid to the Group.

Financial Assets at FVIL

Financial assets at FVIL 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 on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at FVOCIL. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade accounts receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the trade accounts receivables (see Note 7).

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, and Investment Property

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.

The costs of dismantling items of property, plant and equipment are recognized at the fair value of related dismantling obligations. These dismantling obligations are primarily related to the use of the Group’s Cable segment networks during a particular period and presented as part of other long-term liabilities in the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the present value of the Group’s dismantling obligations amounted to Ps.1,133,379 and Ps.1,129,184, respectively.

51 of 90



Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is based upon the carrying amount 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
 
 
20-50 years
 
Technical equipment
 
 
3-30 years
 
Satellite transponders
 
 
15 years
 
Furniture and fixtures
 
 
10-15 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 higher than its estimated recoverable amount.

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

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are classified as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Investment Property

Beginning on February 1, 2022, the Group has investment property. Investment property is property of the Group (land or a building or part of a building or both) held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset, to earn rentals rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Depreciation of investment property is based upon the carrying amount 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
 

The Group’s investment property is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

(k)  Lease Agreements

As a lessee, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset in a lease agreement, and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs and restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight–line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and mostly leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

The Group recognizes a depreciation of rights-of-use assets for long-term lease agreements, and a finance expense for interest from related lease liabilities.

The Group leases its investment property consisting of certain owned building and land property (see Note 11). These lease agreements are classified as operating leases from a lessor perspective.



52 of 90


(l)  Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets and goodwill are recognized at acquisition cost. Intangible assets and goodwill acquired through business combinations are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which include, trademarks, concessions, and goodwill, 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
 
Trademarks with finite useful lives
 
 
4 years
 
Licenses
 
 
3-10 years
 
Subscriber lists
 
 
4-5 years
 
Payments for renewal of concessions
 
 
20 years
 
Other intangible assets
 
 
3-20 years
 

Trademarks

The Group determines its acquired 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. The Group has not capitalized any amounts associated with internally developed trademarks.
Concessions

The Group defined concessions to have an indefinite useful 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. These concessions are not amortized, but instead are subject to impairment testing at least annually. The useful life of concessions that is not being amortized is reviewed in each annual reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life for these concessions. Historically, the Group has renewed its telecommunications’ concessions upon expiration and generally all condition necessary to obtain renewal have been satisfied and the cost to renew these concessions has not been significant.
 
Any fees paid by the Group to regulatory authorities for concessions renewed are determined to have finite useful lives and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the fixed term of the related concession.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business 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 impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment of goodwill is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income and is not subject to be reversed in subsequent periods.

(m)  Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Group reviews for impairment the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, tangible and intangible (see Note 13), 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 amount 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. Any impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill may be subsequently reversed under certain circumstances.

(n)  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, 2023 and 2022.

(o)  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 consolidated statement of income over the period in which the debt is outstanding 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. The fee is deducted from the amount of the financial liability when it is initially recognized, or recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the issue is no longer expected to be completed.

Current portion of long-term debt and interest payable are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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

(p)  Customer Advances

Customer advance agreements are contract liabilities presented by the Group in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group recognizes a contract liability when a customer pays consideration, or the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Group transfers services or goods to the customer. A contract liability is a Group’s obligation to transfer services or goods to a customer for which the Group has received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due, from the customer. In addition, the Group recognizes contract assets upon the approval of non-cancellable contracts that generate an unconditional right to receive cash consideration prior to services being rendered. The Company’s management has consistently recognized that an amount of consideration is due, for legal, finance and accounting purposes, when a short-term non-interest bearing note is received from a customer in connection with an advance agreement entered into with the customer for services or goods to be provided by the Group in the short term.

(q)  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.

(r)  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 IFRS Accounting Standards. 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.

(s)  Revenue Recognition and Contract Costs

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 telecommunications-related business activities, primarily from its Cable and Sky segment operations (see Notes 3 and 26). Revenues are recognized when the service is provided, and collection is probable. A summary of revenue recognition policies by significant activity is as follows:

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.

In respect of revenues from multiple products or services, the Group evaluates whether it has fair value evidence for each deliverable in the transaction. 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.

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.

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 (see Notes 3 and 26).

Revenues from publishing distribution are recognized upon distribution of the products (see Notes 3 and 26).

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 (see Notes 3 and 26).

Gaming revenues consist of the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between amounts wagered and amounts paid to winning patrons and are recognized at the time of such net win (see Notes 3 and 26).

Contract Costs

Incremental costs for obtaining contracts with customers in the Cable and Sky segments, primarily commissions, are recognized as contract costs (assets) in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position and amortized in the expected life of contracts with customers.

The Group has recognized assets from incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers, primarily commissions, which were classified as current and non-current assets in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as follows:

Amortization of contract costs is based upon the carrying amount of the assets in use and is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives that range between 1.5 and 5 years.

(t)  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 loans and receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

(u)  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. The profit sharing is paid to employees on a yearly basis and calculated by the Mexican companies in the Group at the statutory rate of 10% on their respective adjusted income in accordance with the Federal Labor Law. Beginning in 2021, there is a cap on the payment of profit sharing of up to three months of salary per employee (see Note 24).
 
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 plan that involves the payment of termination benefits.

(v)  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 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 and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.



56 of 90

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 financial statements of the consolidated companies in the Group. 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 recovered 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.

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 tax 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.

(w)  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, 2023, 2022 and 2021, certain derivative financial instruments qualified for hedge accounting (see Note 15).

(x)  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.

(y)  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 (“LTRP”). 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 recognized as a charge to consolidated income (administrative expense) over the vesting period. The Group recognized a share-based compensation expense of Ps.748,500, Ps.968,628 and Ps.903,764 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which Ps.748,500, Ps.968,628 and Ps.1,066,863 was credited in consolidated stockholders’ equity for each of those years, respectively (see Note 17).

(z)  New and Amended IFRS Accounting Standards

The Group adopted some amendments and improvements to certain IFRS Accounting Standards that became effective in 2023, 2022 and 2021, which did not have any significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

(1) This new or amended IFRS Accounting Standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules, were issued by the IASB in May 2023, to give companies temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) international tax reform. The OECD published the Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021 to ensure that large multinational companies would be subject to a minimum 15% tax rate. More than 135 countries and jurisdictions representing more than 90% of global GDP have agreed to the Pillar Two Model Rules. These amendments introduce (i) a temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from jurisdictions implementing the global tax rules. This will help to ensure consistency in the financial statements while easing into the implementation of the rules; and (ii) targeted disclosure requirements to help investors better understand a company’s exposure to income taxes arising from the reform, particularly before legislation implementing the rules is in effect. Companies can benefit from the temporary exception immediately but are required to provide the disclosures to investors for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As permitted by these amendments, beginning in the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes arising from Pilar Two Model Rules, and provided the required disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the Group’s exposure to Pilar Two Model Rules (see Note 24).

Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, were issued by the IASB in September 2022, and add to requirements in IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) explaining how a company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. A sale and leaseback is a transaction for which a company sells an asset and leases the same asset back for a period of time from the new owner. IFRS 16 includes requirements on how to account for a sale and leaseback at the date the transaction takes place. However, IFRS 16 had not specified how to measure the transaction when reporting after that date. The amendments issued add to the sale and leaseback requirements in IFRS 16, thereby supporting the consistent application of the IFRS Standard. These amendments will not change the accounting for leases other than those arising in a sale and leaseback transaction. These amendments to IFRS 16 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

Amendments to IAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, were issued by the IASB in October 2022, to improve the information companies provide about long-term with covenants. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements requires a company to classify debt as non-current only if the company can avoid settling the debt in the 12 months after the reporting date. However, a company’s ability to do so is often subject to complying with covenants. For example, a company might have long-term debt that could become repayable within 12 months if the company fails to comply with covenants in that 12-month period. The amendments to IAS 1 specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Instead, the amendments require a company to disclose information about these covenants in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements, were issued by the IASB in May 2023, to require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its supplier finance arrangements. The new requirements were developed by the IASB to provide users of financial statements with information to enable them: (a) to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity’s liabilities and cash flows; and (b) to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s exposure to liquidity risk and how the entity might be affected if the arrangements were no longer available to it. The amendments supplement requirements already in IFRS Standards and require a company to disclose: (i) the terms and conditions; (ii) the amount of the liabilities that are part of the arrangements, breaking out the amounts for which the suppliers have already received payment from the finance providers, and stating where the liabilities sit on the balance sheet; (iii) ranges of payment due dates; and (iv) liquidity risk information. The amendments, which affect IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

[800600] Notes - List of accounting policies
 


Disclosure of significant accounting policies

 
Material Accounting Policies
 
The principal accounting policies followed by the Group and used in the preparation of its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, and where applicable, of its interim condensed consolidated financial statements, are summarized below. These accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, once they have been submitted to the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (“Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores” and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), respectively.

(a)  Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the measurement at fair value of derivative financial instruments, financial assets, investments in equity financial instruments, plan assets of post-employment benefits and share-based payments, as described in the notes to the financial statements below.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards, requires the use of certain 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 material to the Group’s financial statements are disclosed in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated statements of income of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared to present the discontinued operations following the transaction between the Company and Televisaunivision announced on January 31, 2022 (the “TelevisaUnivision Transaction”). Accordingly, the consolidated statement of income of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021, has been re-presented from that originally reported by the Company, to present in that period the results from discontinued operations for the businesses disposed of by the Group on January 31, 2022 (see Notes 3 and 28).

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance on April 4, 2024, by the Group’s Corporate Vice President of Finance, and will be submitted for approval to the Company’s stockholders on April 26, 2024.

(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 Group 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 value 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.

59 of 90

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 amount 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 except for certain equity financial instruments designated irrevocably with changes in other comprehensive income or loss.

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, for which its operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Group and represents a separate major line of business or operations.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative consolidated statements of income are re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

Innova is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, CVQ and Sky DTH, S.A. de C.V. (“Sky DTH”), and a direct majority-owned subsidiary of Innova Holdings, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Innova Holdings”). Sky is a satellite television provider in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic. Although the Company holds a majority of Innova’s equity and designates a majority of the members of Innova’s Board of Directors, the non-controlling interest has certain governance and veto rights in Innova, including the right to block certain transactions between the companies in the Group and Sky. These veto rights are protective in nature and do not affect decisions about relevant business activities of Innova. (see Note 29)

(5)
Grupo Telesistema and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Multimedia Telecom, S.A. de C.V., Villacezán, S.A. de C.V., Comunicaciones Tieren, S.A. de C.V., and Corporativo TD Sports, S.A. de C.V., are the subsidiaries through which the Company owns shares of the capital stock of TelevisaUnivision, the parent company of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”), representing 49.7%, 43.8%, 3.7%, 2.1%  and 0.7%, respectively, of the Group’s aggregate investment in shares of common stock issued by TelevisaUnivision as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Grupo Telesistema was the parent company of Club de Fútbol América, S.A. de C.V. and Fútbol del Distrito Federal, S.A. de C.V., which became direct subsidiaries of the Company in March 2023, in connection with the Spin-off (see Notes 3, 10, 20 and 29).
 
Concessions and Permits

The Group’s Cable, Sky and Other Businesses segments, require governmental concessions and special authorizations for the provision of telecommunications and broadcasting 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 Cable and Sky segments require, among others: (i) to request its renewal to IFT 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 Group holds a number of concessions by the Mexican government that authorizes it to broadcast programming over television stations for the signals of TelevisaUnivision. The payments made by the Group for these broadcasting concessions were accounted for as intangible assets in the Group’s Content segment through January 31, 2022, and are accounted as intangible assets in the Group’s Other Businesses segment after that date (see Notes 3, 13, 20 and 26).

Renewal of broadcasting concessions for the broadcast programming operations over television stations for the signals of TelevisaUnivision, requires, among others: (i) to request such renewal to IFT 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. IFT shall resolve within the year following the presentation of the request, if there is public interest in recovering the spectrum granted under the related concession, in which case it will notify its determination and proceed with the termination of the concession at the end of its fixed term. If IFT determines that there is no public interest in recovering the spectrum, it will grant the requested extension within 180 business days, provided that the concessionaire accepts, in advance, the new conditions set by IFT, which will include the payment of the fee referred to above. Such fee will be determined by IFT for the relevant concessions, considering the following elements: (i) the frequency band; (ii) the amount of spectrum; (iii) coverage of the frequency band; (iv) domestic and international benchmark regarding the market value of frequency bands; and (v) upon request of IFT, an opinion issued by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of IFT´s proposal for calculation of the fee.

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 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, in accordance with Mexican law (see Note 27). 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.

61 of 90

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.

At December 31, 2023, the expiration dates of the Group’s concessions and permits were as follows:

In November 2018, the IFT approved (i) 23 concessions for the use of spectrum that comprise the Group’s 225 TV stations, for a term of 20 years, starting in January 2022 and ending in January 2042, and (ii) six concessions that grant the authorization to provide digital broadcasting television services of such 225 TV stations, for a term of 30 years, starting in January 2022 and ending in January 2052. In November 2018, the Group paid for the broadcasting concessions for the use of spectrum an aggregate amount of Ps.5,753,349 in cash and recognized this payment as an intangible asset in its consolidated statement of financial position. This amount is being amortized over a period of 20 years beginning on January 1, 2022, by using the straight-line method. These broadcasting concessions became part of the Group’s Other Businesses segment after the TelevisaUnivision Transaction closed on January 31, 2022 (see Notes 3, 13, 20 and 26).
 
The concessions or permits held by the Group are not subject to any significant pricing regulations in the ordinary course of business.

(c)  Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

Associates are those entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies, 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 one 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 investor’s income or loss includes its share of the investee’s income or loss and the investor’s other comprehensive income includes its share of the investee’s other comprehensive income.
 
The Group’s investments in associates include an equity interest in TelevisaUnivision represented by 43.7% and 44.4% of the outstanding total common and preferred shares of TelevisaUnivision on an as-converted basis (excluding unvested and/or unsettled stock, restricted stock units and options of TelevisaUnivision) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (see Notes 3 and 10).

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.

Any gain or loss resulting from a downstream transaction involving assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations, between the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full in the Group’s financial statements. The Group adopted this accounting policy in connection with the TelevisaUnivision Transaction closed on January 31, 2022 (see Note 3), and in accordance with the guidelines of Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture, and Effective Date of Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, issued by the IASB.

(d)  Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Group’s Co-Chief 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 reporting currency of the Group’s consolidated financial statements is the Mexican peso, which is used for compliance with its legal and tax obligations.

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 statement of income as part of finance income or expense, except when recognized 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 investments in financial instruments 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); (c) stockholders' equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time capital contributions were made and earnings were generated and (d) 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 in foreign currencies of non-Mexican subsidiaries that use the Mexican Peso as a functional currency are initially converted to 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.
 
A portion of the Group’s outstanding principal amount of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt (hedging instrument, disclosed in the line item “Long-term debt, net of current portion” of the consolidated statement of financial position) has been designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation in connection with the Group’s investment in shares of TelevisaUnivision (hedged item), which amounted to U.S.$2,499.7 million (Ps.42,326,344) and U.S.$2,538.8 million (Ps.49,446,349) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Notes 10, 14 and 18).
 
A portion of the Group’s outstanding principal amount of its U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt (hedging instrument, disclosed in the line item “Long-term debt, net of current portion” of the consolidated statement of financial position) has been designated as a fair value hedge of foreign exchange exposure related to its investment in Open-Ended Fund (hedged item), which amounted to U.S.$39.8 million (Ps.674,451) and U.S.$39.7 million (Ps.773,209), as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, along with the recognition in the same line item of any foreign currency gain or loss of this investment in Open-Ended Fund designated as a hedged item (see Notes 9, 14 and 18).

(f)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 statement of income.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash equivalents 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 4.65% for U.S. dollar deposits and 11.09% for Mexican peso deposits in 2023, and approximately 1.53% for U.S. dollar deposits and 7.40% for Mexican peso deposits in 2022.
63 of 90

(g)  Transmission Rights

The Group incurs costs related to the license of the rights to use content owned by third parties and sports rights on its owned pay television platforms, which are described as transmission rights in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. The Group classifies transmission rights as current and non-current assets.

Transmission rights are valued at the lesser of acquisition cost and net realizable value.

Transmission rights are recognized from the point at which the legally enforceable license period begins. Until the license term commences and the transmission rights are available, payments made are recognized as prepayments. Cost of revenues is calculated and recorded for the month in which transmission rights are matched with related revenues.

Transmission rights are recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lives of the contracts.

(h)  Inventories

Inventories of paper, magazines, materials and supplies for maintenance of technical equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or its net realizable 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 accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). Under the guidelines of IFRS 9, the Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or loss (“FVOCIL”), or fair value through income or loss (“FVIL”), based on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset.

Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when the objective of holding such financial assets is to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, with changes in carrying amount recognized in the consolidated statement of income 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 that are included in non-current assets. The Group’s financial assets measured at amortized costs are primarily presented as “trade accounts receivable”, “other accounts receivable”, and “due from related parties” in the consolidated statement of financial position (see Note 7).
 
Financial Assets Measured at FVOCIL

Financial assets are measured at FVOCIL when the objective of holding such financial assets is both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group’s investments in certain equity instruments have been designated to be measured at FVOCIL, as permitted by IFRS 9. In connection with this designation, any amounts presented in consolidated other comprehensive income are not subsequently transferred to consolidated income. Dividends from these equity instruments are recognized in consolidated income when the right to receive payment of the dividend is established, and such dividend is probable to be paid to the Group.

Financial Assets at FVIL

Financial assets at FVIL 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 on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at FVOCIL. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade accounts receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the trade accounts receivables (see Note 7).



64 of 90

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, and Investment Property

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.

The costs of dismantling items of property, plant and equipment are recognized at the fair value of related dismantling obligations. These dismantling obligations are primarily related to the use of the Group’s Cable segment networks during a particular period and presented as part of other long-term liabilities in the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the present value of the Group’s dismantling obligations amounted to Ps.1,133,379 and Ps.1,129,184, respectively.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is based upon the carrying amount 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
 
 
20-50 years
 
Technical equipment
 
 
3-30 years
 
Satellite transponders
 
 
15 years
 
Furniture and fixtures
 
 
10-15 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 higher than its estimated recoverable amount.

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

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are classified as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Investment Property

Beginning on February 1, 2022, the Group has investment property. Investment property is property of the Group (land or a building or part of a building or both) held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset, to earn rentals rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Depreciation of investment property is based upon the carrying amount 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
 

The Group’s investment property is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

65 of 90

(k)  Lease Agreements

As a lessee, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset in a lease agreement, and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs and restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight–line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and mostly leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

The Group recognizes a depreciation of rights-of-use assets for long-term lease agreements, and a finance expense for interest from related lease liabilities.

The Group leases its investment property consisting of certain owned building and land property (see Note 11). These lease agreements are classified as operating leases from a lessor perspective.

(l)  Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets and goodwill are recognized at acquisition cost. Intangible assets and goodwill acquired through business combinations are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which include, trademarks, concessions, and goodwill, 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
 
Trademarks with finite useful lives
 
 
4 years
 
Licenses
 
 
3-10 years
 
Subscriber lists
 
 
4-5 years
 
Payments for renewal of concessions
 
 
20 years
 
Other intangible assets
 
 
3-20 years
 

Trademarks

The Group determines its acquired 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. The Group has not capitalized any amounts associated with internally developed trademarks.
Concessions

The Group defined concessions to have an indefinite useful 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. These concessions are not amortized, but instead are subject to impairment testing at least annually. The useful life of concessions that is not being amortized is reviewed in each annual reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life for these concessions. Historically, the Group has renewed its telecommunications’ concessions upon expiration and generally all condition necessary to obtain renewal have been satisfied and the cost to renew these concessions has not been significant.
 
Any fees paid by the Group to regulatory authorities for concessions renewed are determined to have finite useful lives and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the fixed term of the related concession.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business 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.

66 of 90

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 impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment of goodwill is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income and is not subject to be reversed in subsequent periods.

(m)  Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Group reviews for impairment the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, tangible and intangible (see Note 13), 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 amount 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. Any impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill may be subsequently reversed under certain circumstances.

(n)  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, 2023 and 2022.

(o)  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 consolidated statement of income over the period in which the debt is outstanding 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. The fee is deducted from the amount of the financial liability when it is initially recognized, or recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the issue is no longer expected to be completed.

Current portion of long-term debt and interest payable are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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

(p)  Customer Advances

Customer advance agreements are contract liabilities presented by the Group in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group recognizes a contract liability when a customer pays consideration, or the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Group transfers services or goods to the customer. A contract liability is a Group’s obligation to transfer services or goods to a customer for which the Group has received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due, from the customer. In addition, the Group recognizes contract assets upon the approval of non-cancellable contracts that generate an unconditional right to receive cash consideration prior to services being rendered. The Company’s management has consistently recognized that an amount of consideration is due, for legal, finance and accounting purposes, when a short-term non-interest bearing note is received from a customer in connection with an advance agreement entered into with the customer for services or goods to be provided by the Group in the short term.

67 of 90


(q)  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.

(r)  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 IFRS Accounting Standards. 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.

(s)  Revenue Recognition and Contract Costs

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 telecommunications-related business activities, primarily from its Cable and Sky segment operations (see Notes 3 and 26). Revenues are recognized when the service is provided, and collection is probable. A summary of revenue recognition policies by significant activity is as follows:

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.

In respect of revenues from multiple products or services, the Group evaluates whether it has fair value evidence for each deliverable in the transaction. 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.

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.

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 (see Notes 3 and 26).

Revenues from publishing distribution are recognized upon distribution of the products (see Notes 3 and 26).

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 (see Notes 3 and 26).

Gaming revenues consist of the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between amounts wagered and amounts paid to winning patrons and are recognized at the time of such net win (see Notes 3 and 26).

Contract Costs

Incremental costs for obtaining contracts with customers in the Cable and Sky segments, primarily commissions, are recognized as contract costs (assets) in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position and amortized in the expected life of contracts with customers.

The Group has recognized assets from incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers, primarily commissions, which were classified as current and non-current assets in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as follows:

Amortization of contract costs is based upon the carrying amount of the assets in use and is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives that range between 1.5 and 5 years.

(t)  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 loans and receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

(u)  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. The profit sharing is paid to employees on a yearly basis and calculated by the Mexican companies in the Group at the statutory rate of 10% on their respective adjusted income in accordance with the Federal Labor Law. Beginning in 2021, there is a cap on the payment of profit sharing of up to three months of salary per employee (see Note 24).


69 of 90

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 plan that involves the payment of termination benefits.

(v)  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 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 and 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 financial statements of the consolidated companies in the Group. 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 recovered 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.

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 tax 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.

(w)  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, 2023, 2022 and 2021, certain derivative financial instruments qualified for hedge accounting (see Note 15).

(x)  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.

70 of 90


(y)  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 (“LTRP”). 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 recognized as a charge to consolidated income (administrative expense) over the vesting period. The Group recognized a share-based compensation expense of Ps.748,500, Ps.968,628 and Ps.903,764 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which Ps.748,500, Ps.968,628 and Ps.1,066,863 was credited in consolidated stockholders’ equity for each of those years, respectively (see Note 17).

(z)  New and Amended IFRS Accounting Standards

The Group adopted some amendments and improvements to certain IFRS Accounting Standards that became effective in 2023, 2022 and 2021, which did not have any significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Below is a list of the new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued by the IASB and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

(1) This new or amended IFRS Accounting Standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules, were issued by the IASB in May 2023, to give companies temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) international tax reform. The OECD published the Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021 to ensure that large multinational companies would be subject to a minimum 15% tax rate. More than 135 countries and jurisdictions representing more than 90% of global GDP have agreed to the Pillar Two Model Rules. These amendments introduce (i) a temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from jurisdictions implementing the global tax rules. This will help to ensure consistency in the financial statements while easing into the implementation of the rules; and (ii) targeted disclosure requirements to help investors better understand a company’s exposure to income taxes arising from the reform, particularly before legislation implementing the rules is in effect. Companies can benefit from the temporary exception immediately but are required to provide the disclosures to investors for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As permitted by these amendments, beginning in the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes arising from Pilar Two Model Rules, and provided the required disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the Group’s exposure to Pilar Two Model Rules (see Note 24).

Amendments to IFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, were issued by the IASB in September 2022, and add to requirements in IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) explaining how a company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. A sale and leaseback is a transaction for which a company sells an asset and leases the same asset back for a period of time from the new owner. IFRS 16 includes requirements on how to account for a sale and leaseback at the date the transaction takes place. However, IFRS 16 had not specified how to measure the transaction when reporting after that date. The amendments issued add to the sale and leaseback requirements in IFRS 16, thereby supporting the consistent application of the IFRS Standard. These amendments will not change the accounting for leases other than those arising in a sale and leaseback transaction. These amendments to IFRS 16 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

Amendments to IAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, were issued by the IASB in October 2022, to improve the information companies provide about long-term with covenants. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements requires a company to classify debt as non-current only if the company can avoid settling the debt in the 12 months after the reporting date. However, a company’s ability to do so is often subject to complying with covenants. For example, a company might have long-term debt that could become repayable within 12 months if the company fails to comply with covenants in that 12-month period. The amendments to IAS 1 specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Instead, the amendments require a company to disclose information about these covenants in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

 
71 of 90

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements, were issued by the IASB in May 2023, to require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its supplier finance arrangements. The new requirements were developed by the IASB to provide users of financial statements with information to enable them: (a) to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity’s liabilities and cash flows; and (b) to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s exposure to liquidity risk and how the entity might be affected if the arrangements were no longer available to it. The amendments supplement requirements already in IFRS Standards and require a company to disclose: (i) the terms and conditions; (ii) the amount of the liabilities that are part of the arrangements, breaking out the amounts for which the suppliers have already received payment from the finance providers, and stating where the liabilities sit on the balance sheet; (iii) ranges of payment due dates; and (iv) liquidity risk information. The amendments, which affect IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

Spun-off Businesses and Acquisition of Interest in Sky
Spun-off Businesses

On October 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a proposal to separate from the Group through a spin-off certain businesses that were part of its former Other Businesses segment (the Spin-off), including its fútbol operations, the Azteca Stadium, the gaming operations, and publishing and distribution of magazines, as well as certain related assets and liabilities (“Spun-off Businesses”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 26, 2023. This proposal was carried out through a Spin-off on January 31, 2024, by creating a new controlling entity of the Spun-off Businesses, Ollamani, S.A.B. (“Ollamani”), which at the time of the Spin-off had the same shareholding structure as the Company. The Group and Ollamani obtained all required corporate and regulatory authorizations for the Spin-off, and the shares of Ollamani began trading separately from the Company on the Mexican Stock Exchange on February 20, 2024, in the form of CPOs, under the ticker symbol “AGUILAS CPO”. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, the Group began presenting the results of operations of the Spun-off Businesses as discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of income for the period of one month ended January 31, 2024, and for any comparative periods presented (see Notes 11 and 20).

The carrying amount of consolidated net assets of the Group’s Spun-off Businesses as of December 31, 2023, represented approximately 4.5% of the Group’s consolidated equity as of that date. The segment revenues and segment income of the Group’s Spun-off Businesses for the year ended December 31, 2023, represented approximately 8.3% and 4.7%, respectively, of the Group’s total segment revenues and total segment income, respectively, for that year.

Acquisition of Interest in Sky

In April 2024, the Group reached an agreement with AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) for the acquisition of its non-controlling interest in the Group’s Sky segment, to become owner of 100% of the equity stock of Sky. In June 2024, the Group received approval from the Mexican Institute of Telecommunications (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones or IFT) for this transaction and acquired the 41.3% interest previously held by AT&T in Sky. As part of this agreement, the transaction price will be paid by the Group in 2027 and 2028 (see Note 13).

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 in securities, including without limitation stock, debt and other financial instruments, a principal portion of which are considered as Level 1 financial instruments, 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, all of which are measured at fair value, and subtracting all of the fund liabilities and dividing the result by the total number of issued shares.

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%. A subsidiary of the Company entered into long-term loans to provide financing to GTAC for an aggregate principal amount of Ps.1,527,898, with an annual interest of the Mexican Interbank Interest Rate (“Tasa de Interés Interbancaria de Equilibrio” or “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 long-term loans, principal amounts can be prepaid at dates agreed by the parties before their maturities between 2024 and 2032. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, GTAC paid principal and interest to the Group in connection with these long-term loans in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.183,031 and Ps.178,914, respectively. The net investment in GTAC as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, included amounts receivable in connection with these long-term loans to GTAC in the aggregate amount of Ps.1,024,371 and Ps.948,549, respectively. These amounts receivable are in substance a part of the Group’s net investment in this investee (see Note 9).
(2)
The Group accounts for its investment in PDS under the equity method, due to its 50% interest in this joint venture. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group’s investment in PDS included intangible assets and goodwill in the aggregate amount of Ps.$113,837.

75 of 90


TelevisaUnivision

The Group accounts for its investment in common stock of TelevisaUnivision, the parent company of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”), under the equity method due to the Group’s ability to exercise significant influence, as defined under IFRS Accounting Standards, over TelevisaUnivision operations. The Group has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of TelevisaUnivision because (i) it owned 9,290,999 Class A Common Stock shares and 750,000 Series B Preferred Stock shares of TelevisaUnivision as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, representing 43.0% and 43.7% of the outstanding common and preferred shares of TelevisaUnivision on an as-converted basis (excluding unvested and/or unsettled stock, restricted stock units and options of TelevisaUnivision), respectively, and 44.0% and 44.4% of the outstanding voting common shares of TelevisaUnivision, respectively; and (ii) it has designated three members of the Board of Directors of TelevisaUnivision, one of which serves as the Chairman. The Chairman does not presently have a tie-breaking vote or other similar power in connection with any decisions of the Board. The governing documents of TelevisaUnivision provide for a 11-member Board of Directors; however, the Board of Directors currently consists of nine members, and the Group has the right to appoint two additional members.

Credit Facilities

In February 2023, Sky executed a revolving credit facility with a Mexican bank for up to an amount of Ps.1,000,000, which funds may be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt, with a maturity in 2028. In March 2023, Sky used funds of this revolving facility in the principal amount of Ps.400,000 to repay a portion of its debt, plus interest payable on a monthly basis at the annual rate of TIIE plus 0.85%. In December 2023, Sky prepaid all of the used funds under this credit facility plus accrued interest in the aggregate amount of Ps.403,981. Under the terms of this revolving credit facility, Sky is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants and financial coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2024, the unused principal amount of this credit facility amounted to Ps.1,000,000.

As discussed above, in April 2024, the Company and two of its subsidiaries in the Group’s Cable segment executed, in conjunction with a five-year term loan in a principal amount of Ps.10,000,000, a five-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks for up to an amount in Mexican pesos equivalent to U.S.$500 million. The credit agreement for this credit facility requires the maintenance of financial ratios related to indebtedness and interest expense. As of December 31, 2024, this credit facility remained unused.

Financial Instruments

The Group’s financial instruments presented in the consolidated statements of financial position included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, a long-term loan receivable from GTAC, non-current investments in publicly traded equity securities and in securities in the form of an open-ended fund, accounts payable, outstanding debt, lease liabilities, and derivative financial instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the current portion of long-term debt and lease liabilities, 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 is based on quoted market prices.

The fair value of long-term loans that the Group borrowed from leading Mexican banks (see Note 9) 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 non-current investments in financial instruments, and currency option and interest rate swap agreements were determined by using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Group’s non-derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

Contingencies

On April 27, 2017, the tax authorities initiated a tax audit to the Company, with the purpose of verifying compliance with tax provisions for the fiscal period from January 1 to December 31, 2011, regarding federal taxes as direct subject of Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta or ISR), Flat tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Única) and Value Added Tax (Impuesto al Valor Agregado). On April 25, 2018, the authorities informed the observations determined as a result of such audit, that could entail a default on the payment of the abovementioned taxes. On May 25, 2018, by a document submitted before the authority, the Company asserted arguments and offered evidence to undermine the authority’s observations. On June 27, 2019, the Company was notified of the outcome of the audit, in which a tax liability was determined for an amount of Ps.682 million for ISR, penalties, surcharges and inflation adjustments. On August 22, 2019, the Company filed an administrative proceeding (recurso de revocación) against such tax liability, before the Legal area of the Tax Authorities. On July 7, 2023, the resolution to the administrative proceeding was notified, in which the appealed resolution was confirmed. On September 4, 2023, a claim (juicio de nulidad) against the resolution issued in the referred administrative proceeding was filed in the Third Regional Court of Mexico City of the Federal Court of Administrative Justice (Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa), which is still pending of resolution. As of the date of these financial statements, there are no elements to determine if the outcome would be adverse to the Company’s interests. As of December 31, 2024, this contingency amounted to Ps.908.4 million, including restatements and surcharges as of that date.
87 of 90

On August 12, 2019, the tax authority initiated a Foreign Trade Audit of one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries (Cablebox. S.A. de C.V.), with the purpose of verifying the correct payment of the contributions and levies on the import of the merchandise, as well as compliance with non-customs regulations and restrictions applicable to 26 foreign trade operations carried out during fiscal year 2016. On April 30, 2020, the tax authority released the observations determined as a result of the aforementioned review, which could lead to non-compliance with the payment of the referred contributions. On April 30, 2020, the tax authority informed the facts and omissions detected during the development of the verification process, that could entail a default on several provisions of the Customs Act (Ley Aduanera). On June 2 and 29, 2020, by several documents submitted before the authorities, the Company’s subsidiary asserted arguments and offered evidence to undermine the facts and omissions included in the tax authority’s last partial record. On July 16, 2020 such entity was notified of the outcome of the audit, in which a tax liability was determined for an amount of Ps.290 million for a fine consisting of 70% of the commercial value of the merchandise subject to review, due to the alleged failure to comply with the Norma Oficial Mexicana, or Official Mexican Standards (NOM-019-SCFI-1998), as well as on the amount of the commercial value of the merchandise due to the material impossibility of the merchandise becoming property of the Federal Treasury. On August 27, 2020, an administrative proceeding (recurso de revocación) was filed before the Legal department of the Tax Authority, which is in the process of being resolved. As of the date of these financial statements, there are no elements to determine if the outcome would be adverse to the Company’s interests. As of December 31, 2024, this contingency amounted to Ps.546.2 million, including restatements as of that date.

On July 29, 2019, the tax authority initiated a Foreign Trade Audit of one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries (CM Equipos y Soporte, S.A. de C.V.), with the purpose of verifying the correct payment of the contributions and levies on the import of the merchandise, as well as compliance with non-customs regulations and restrictions applicable to 32 foreign trade operations carried out during fiscal year 2016. On July 10, 2020, the tax authority released the observations determined as a result of the aforementioned review, which could lead to a determination of non-compliance with the payment of the referred contributions. On August 21, 2020, through several documents submitted to the authorities, the Company’s subsidiary asserted arguments and offered evidence to undermine the facts and omissions included in the tax authority’s most recent partial record. On May 28, 2021, the subsidiary was notified of the outcome of the audit, in which a tax liability was determined for an amount of Ps.256.3 million  for a fine consisting of 70% of the commercial value of the merchandise subject to review, due to the alleged failure to comply with the Normas Oficiales Mexicanas, or Official Mexican Standards (NOM-019- SCFI-1998, NOM-EM-015-SCFI-2015 and NOM-024-SCFI-2013), as well as on the amount of the commercial value of the merchandise due to the material impossibility of the merchandise becoming property of the Federal Treasury. On July 12, 2021, an administrative proceeding (recurso de revocación) was filed before the Legal department of the Tax Authority, which is in the process of being resolved. As of the date of these financial statements, there are no elements to determine if the outcome would be adverse to the Company’s interests. As of December 31, 2024, this contingency amounted to Ps.477.1 million, including restatements as of that date.

On March 29, 2022, the tax authority initiated a tax audit of a subsidiary of the Company (Cablemás Telecomunicaciones, S.A. de C.V.). The purpose of the tax audit was to verify compliance with tax provisions for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2016, regarding income tax as a direct subject. On March 23, 2023, the authority informed the relevant entity of the facts and omissions detected during the development of the verification process that could entail a default on the payment of the tax. On April 25, 2023, through several documents submitted to the authorities, the Company’s subsidiary asserted arguments and offered evidence to undermine the facts and omissions included in the tax authority’s report. On August 23, 2024, the referred subsidiary was notified of the outcome of the audit, determining a tax credit in the amount of Ps.214.3 million. On October 8, 2024, an administrative proceeding (recurso de revocación) was filed before the Legal department of the Tax Authority, which is in process of being resolved. As of the date of these financial statements, there are no elements to determine if the outcome would be adverse to the Company’s interests. As of December 31, 2024, this contingency amounted to Ps.230.2 million, including restatements as of that date.

The contingencies discussed in the previous paragraphs did not require the recognition of a provision as of December 31, 2024.

As the Company previously announced on August 30, 2024, a Department of Justice investigation of FIFA-related activity may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation or whether it will in fact have a material impact. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.

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 now 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.
