Advertising revenue decreased by 6.4% to Ps.6,015.4 million compared with Ps.6,426.7 million in third-quarter 2013. These results reflect lower advertising revenues from our national free to air networks explained partially by the new regulation that restricts television advertising during certain time slots for high-caloric foods and beverages. In addition, our free to air advertising revenues were affected by the shift of some advertising budgets from the third-quarter to the second quarter, when the majority of the matches of the 2014 World Cup took place, and by a weak economic environment. Advertising in pay-TV networks increased by 18.1% and represented 5.8% of our advertising revenues.
|
||||||
Third-quarter Network Subscription Revenue decreased by 17.6% to Ps.718.5 million compared with Ps.872.3 million in third-quarter 2013. These results reflect forgone revenue as a result of the compliance with the must-offer ruling that came into effect with the constitutional reform in matters of telecommunications. The must-offer ruling requires us to allow the retransmission free of charge and on a non-discriminatory basis of free-to-air television signals to pay-TV licensees that operate in the same area of geographic coverage, subject to certain conditions being met.
Licensing and Syndication revenue increased by 17.6% to Ps.1,757.9 million compared with Ps.1,495.0 million in third-quarter 2013. The growth is explained mainly by an increase of 22.4% in royalties from Univision, from US$71.4 million in third-quarter 2013 to US$87.4 million in third-quarter 2014. Sales to Latin America and the rest of the world experienced solid growth. These positive effects were partially compensated by lower revenues from our coproductions overseas.
|
||||||
Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 8.5% to Ps.4,042.0 million compared with Ps.4,415.1 million in third-quarter 2013; the margin was 47.6%. The drop in the margin of 260 basis points from same quarter last year is mainly explained by the drop on free to air advertising revenues, the implementation of the must-offer ruling, and the expenses related to the broadcasting of the 2014 World Cup. This effect was partially compensated by lower production expenses.
|
||||||
Sky
|
Third-quarter sales grew by 9.5% to Ps.4,476.8 million compared with Ps.4,089.8 million in third-quarter 2013. The increase was driven by solid growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained by the continued success of Sky’s low-cost offerings and the attractiveness of Sky’s traditional pay-TV packages. The number of net active subscribers increased by 160,183 during the quarter to 6,517,735 as of September 30, 2014, of which 194,646 are in Central America and the Dominican Republic, compared with 5,878,925 as of September 30, 2013.
|
|||||
Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 12.2% to Ps.2,136.9 million compared with Ps.1,903.7 million in third-quarter 2013, and the margin was 47.7% an increase of 120 basis points from same quarter last year. Sky benefited from higher revenues and lower programming costs resulting from the must-offer ruling, which were partially compensated by higher programming expenses related mainly to the transmission of certain matches of the 2014 World Cup.
|
||||||
Telecommunications
|
Third-quarter sales increased by 21.3% to Ps.5,305.1 million compared with Ps.4,374.5 million in third-quarter 2013. This increase includes the consolidation, starting September 1st, of Ps.329.7 million revenues from Cablecom. Revenues from our three cable operations Cablevisión, Cablemás and TVI, and Bestel experienced solid growth. Including the acquisition of Cablecom, Voice and Data revenue generating units, or RGUs, grew 31.7% and 38.2% compared with third-quarter 2013, respectively, while Video RGUs expanded by 36.8%.
Year-over-year, Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI, and Bestel net sales increased 14.3%, 9.7%, 19.9%, and 15.0% respectively.

Third-quarter operating segment income increased by 34.0% to Ps.1,981.6 million compared with Ps.1,479.1 million in third-quarter 2013, and the margin reached 37.4%, an increase of 360 basis points from same quarter last year. These results include the consolidation of Cablecom, which contributed with Ps.157.3 million to operating segment income, and the benefit from lower programming costs, as a result of the must-offer ruling, which were partially offset by higher personnel, maintenance, and marketing costs and expenses.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our telecommunications subsidiaries for the quarter. In the case of Cablecom only the month of September is included.

Third-quarter sales increased by 3.5% to Ps.1,936.6 million compared with Ps.1,870.8 million in third-quarter 2013. This increase is explained mainly by i) an increase in the revenues of our soccer business; ii) an increase in the revenues of our gaming business, as a result of an increase in the revenues from our electronic gaming machines; iii) an increase in the revenues of our feature-film distribution business in Mexico and the United States, due in part to the distribution of the film “Más Negro que la Noche”; and iv) an increase in the revenues of our radio business due to higher advertising sales. This effect was partially compensated by a decrease in the revenues of our publishing business.
|
|||||
Third-quarter operating segment income decreased by 7.0% to Ps.151.6 million compared with Ps.163.0 million in third-quarter 2013, and the margin reached 7.8%. These results reflect lower revenues from our publishing business as well as higher marketing costs and expenses in our feature-film distribution business. These effects were partially compensated by the increase in the profitability of our soccer and gaming businesses.
