MEXICO CITY, D.F., FEBRUARY 26, 2015—GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A.B. (NYSE:TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO; “TELEVISA” OR “THE COMPANY”), TODAY ANNOUNCED RESULTS FOR FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2014. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRS”).

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SETS FORTH CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013, IN MILLIONS OF MEXICAN PESOS, AS WELL AS THE PERCENTAGE THAT EACH LINE REPRESENTS OF NET SALES AND THE PERCENTAGE CHANGE WHEN COMPARING 2014 WITH 2013:

NET SALES

NET SALES INCREASED BY 8.6% TO PS.80,118.4 MILLION IN 2014 COMPARED WITH PS.73,790.7 MILLION IN 2013. THIS INCREASE WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO REVENUE GROWTH ACROSS ALL OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS. OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED 8.1%, REACHING PS.32,279.7 MILLION WITH A MARGIN OF 39.6% IN 2014 COMPARED WITH PS.29,860.4 MILLION WITH A MARGIN OF 39.7% IN 2013.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY  

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AMOUNTED TO PS.5,386.9 MILLION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014, COMPARED WITH A NET INCOME OF PS.7,748.3 MILLION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,  2013. THE NET DECREASE OF PS.2,361.4 MILLION REFLECTED I) A PS.5,213.6  MILLION INCREASE IN FINANCE EXPENSE, NET; AND II) A PS.5,198.6 MILLION INCREASE IN OTHER EXPENSE, NET, REFLECTING PRIMARILY A ONE-TIME NON-CASH LOSS ON DISPOSITION OF OUR 50% JOINT INTEREST IN GSF TELECOM HOLDINGS, S.A.P.I. DE C.V. (“GSF”), THE CONTROLLING COMPANY OF IUSACELL, WHICH WAS COMPLETED IN JANUARY 2015. THESE UNFAVORABLE VARIANCES WERE PARTIALLY OFFSET BY (I) A PS.5,673.1  MILLION FAVORABLE CHANGE IN SHARE OF INCOME OR LOSS OF JOINT VENTURES AND ASSOCIATES, NET; (II) A PS.1,213.0 MILLION DECREASE IN NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS; (III) A PS.748.1 MILLION DECREASE IN INCOME TAXES; AND (IV) A PS.416.6  MILLION INCREASE IN INCOME BEFORE OTHER EXPENSE, NET.

FULL YEAR RESULTS AND FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS  BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION PRESENTS FULL YEAR CONSOLIDATED RESULTS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013, AND FOURTH QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013  FOR EACH OF OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS.  CONSOLIDATED RESULTS  ARE PRESENTED IN MILLIONS OF MEXICAN PESOS:

CONTENT

FOURTH QUARTER SALES INCREASED BY 6.7% TO PS.11,128.9 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.10,433.8 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013.

FULL YEAR SALES INCREASED BY 3.1% TO PS.34,868.1 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.33,817.6 MILLION IN 2013.

ADVERTISING

ADVERTISING FOURTH QUARTER REVENUE INCREASED BY 3.8% TO PS.8,633.0 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.8,318.7 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013. ADVERTISING ON PAY-TV NETWORKS INCREASED BY 9.6% AND REPRESENTED 6.1% OF OUR ADVERTISING REVENUES.
 
ADVERTISING FULL YEAR REVENUE INCREASED BY 2.4%. TO PS.25,465.7 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.24,864.5 MILLION IN 2013. THESE RESULTS WERE ADVERSELY AFFECTED STARTING ON JULY, 2014 BY NEW REGULATION THAT RESTRICTS TELEVISION ADVERTISING FOR HIGH-CALORIC FOODS AND BEVERAGES DURING CERTAIN TIME SLOTS. FOR THE FULL YEAR, ADVERTISING ON PAY-TV NETWORKS REPRESENTED 6.0% OF OUR TOTAL ADVERTISING REVENUES.

NETWORK SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE

FOURTH-QUARTER NETWORK SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE INCREASED BY 21.5% TO PS.775.8 MILLION COMPARED TO PS.638.6 MILLION IN FOURTH-QUARTER 2013. THE GROWTH WAS DRIVEN MAINLY BY THE SUSTAINED ADDITION OF PAY-TV SUBSCRIBERS, BOTH IN MEXICO AND ABROAD, AND A POSITIVE TRANSLATION EFFECT ON FOREIGN-CURRENCY-DENOMINATED REVENUES.

FULL YEAR NETWORK SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE DECREASED BY 12.5%. TO PS.2,854.4 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.3,263.6 MILLION IN 2013. THESE RESULTS REFLECT FORGONE REVENUE AS A RESULT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MUST-OFFER REGULATION THAT CAME INTO EFFECT WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM IN MATTERS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS. THE MUST-OFFER REGULATION THAT CAME INTO EFFECT IN SEPTEMBER 2013, REQUIRES US TO ALLOW THE RETRANSMISSION FREE OF CHARGE AND ON A NON-DISCRIMINATORY BASIS OF FREE-TO-AIR TELEVISION SIGNALS TO PAY-TV CONCESSION HOLDERS THAT OPERATE IN THE SAME AREA OF GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS BEING MET AMONG OTHERS, THAT THE RETRANSMISSION IS MADE WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS, INCLUDING ADVERTISING, AND WITH THE SAME QUALITY OF THE BROADCAST SIGNAL, EXCEPT IN CERTAIN SPECIFIC CASES PROVIDED IN THE REGULATIONS. THIS EFFECT WAS PARTIALLY COMPENSATED BY THE ADDITION OF PAY-TV SUBSCRIBERS IN MEXICO AND ABROAD.

LICENSING AND SYNDICATION

FOURTH-QUARTER LICENSING AND SYNDICATION REVENUE INCREASED BY 16.5% TO PS.1,720.1 MILLION COMPARED TO PS.1,476.5 MILLION IN FOURTH-QUARTER 2013. THE GROWTH IS MOSTLY EXPLAINED BY AN INCREASE OF 4.8% IN ROYALTIES FROM UNIVISION, FROM US$74.0 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013 TO US$77.5 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2014, STRONG COPRODUCTIONS AND RETRANSMISSION RIGHTS REVENUES, AND A POSITIVE TRANSLATION EFFECT ON FOREIGN-CURRENCY-DENOMINATED REVENUES.

THE FULL YEAR INCREASE IN LICENSING AND SYNDICATION REVENUE OF 15.1% TO PS.6,548.0 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.5,689.5 MILLION IN 2013, IS EXPLAINED BY I) AN INCREASE OF 14.8% IN ROYALTIES FROM UNIVISION, FROM US$273.2 MILLION IN 2013 TO US$313.7 MILLION IN 2014; AND II) A POSITIVE TRANSLATION EFFECT ON FOREIGN-CURRENCY-DENOMINATED REVENUES.

IN THE AGGREGATE FOR THE FULL YEAR, THE CONTENT SEGMENT RESULTS REFLECT A POSITIVE TRANSLATION EFFECT ON FOREIGN-CURRENCY-DENOMINATED SALES THAT AMOUNTED TO PS.301.6 MILLION.

FOURTH QUARTER OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME FOR OUR CONTENT SEGMENT INCREASED BY 9.1% TO PS.5,134.6 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.4,705.4 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013; THE MARGIN WAS 46.1%. THE INCREASE IN THE MARGIN OF 100 BASIS POINTS FROM SAME QUARTER LAST YEAR IS MAINLY EXPLAINED BY THE GROWTH IN ALL OF OUR CONTENT REVENUE LINES, AND LOWER PRODUCTION EXPENSES.

FULL-YEAR OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME FOR OUR CONTENT SEGMENT DECREASED BY 0.2% TO PS.15,534.3 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.15,566.0 MILLION IN 2013. THE MARGIN WAS 44.6%. THE DROP IN THE MARGIN OF 140 BASIS POINTS FROM 2013 IS MAINLY EXPLAINED BY LOWER NETWORK SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE AS A RESULT OF THE MUST-OFFER REGULATION.

SKY

FOURTH QUARTER SALES INCREASED BY 7.4% TO PS.4,489.4 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.4,180.7 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013. DURING THE QUARTER, SKY ADDED A TOTAL OF 120,297 SUBSCRIBERS, MAINLY IN MEXICO.

FULL YEAR SALES INCREASED BY 8.7% TO PS.17,498.6 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.16,098.3 MILLION IN 2013. THE ANNUAL INCREASE WAS DRIVEN BY SOLID GROWTH IN THE SUBSCRIBER BASE OF MORE THAN 622 THOUSAND, WHICH IS EXPLAINED BY THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF SKY’S LOW-COST OFFERING. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2014, THE NUMBER OF NET ACTIVE SUBSCRIBERS INCREASED TO 6,638,032 (INCLUDING 174,986 COMMERCIAL SUBSCRIBERS), COMPARED WITH 6,015,475 (INCLUDING 168,063 COMMERCIAL SUBSCRIBERS) AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013. SKY CLOSED THE YEAR WITH 192,358 SUBSCRIBERS IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

FOURTH QUARTER OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED BY 14.4% TO PS.2,044.7 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.1,787.3 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013, AND THE MARGIN WAS 45.5%. THE INCREASE IN THE MARGIN OF 270 BASIS POINTS FROM SAME QUARTER LAST YEAR IS EXPLAINED BY THE GROWTH IN REVENUES AND THE ABSENCE OF THE AMORTIZATION OF COSTS RELATED WITH THE 24 EXCLUSIVE MATCHES OF THE 2014 SOCCER WORLD CUP. THIS EFFECT WAS PARTIALLY COMPENSATED BY HIGHER PROGRAMMING COSTS.

FULL YEAR OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED BY 11.9% TO PS.8,211.3 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.7,340.5 MILLION IN 2013, AND THE MARGIN WAS 46.9%. THE INCREASE IN THE MARGIN OF 130 BASIS POINTS FROM LAST YEAR REFLECTS I) AN INCREASE IN SALES; AND II) SALES EXPENSES THAT EXPANDED AT A SLOWER PACE. THIS EFFECT WAS PARTIALLY COMPENSATED BY HIGHER MARKETING EXPENSES.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

FOURTH QUARTER SALES INCREASED BY 35.4% TO PS.6,227.8 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.4,599.4 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013 DRIVEN BY GROWTH IN ALL OF OUR CABLE PLATFORMS AND THE CONSOLIDATION, FOR THE FULL QUARTER, OF PS.1,040.0 MILLION OF REVENUES FROM CABLECOM. EXCLUDING CABLECOM, FOURTH QUARTER SALES FROM OUR CABLE AND NETWORK OPERATIONS INCREASED BY 12.8%.

FULL YEAR SALES INCREASED BY 22.2% TO PS.20,937.3 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.17,138.8 MILLION IN 2013. THIS INCREASE INCLUDES THE CONSOLIDATION, STARTING SEPTEMBER 1ST, OF PS.1,369.7 MILLION REVENUES FROM CABLECOM. EXCLUDING CABLECOM, FULL YEAR SALES EXPERIENCED A GROWTH OF 14.2%.

CABLECOM´S THIRD QUARTER 2014 VIDEO RGUS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AS 803,850. THIS FIGURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS 745,995.

FOURTH QUARTER OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED BY 50.7% TO PS.2,495.9 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.1,656.2 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013, AND THE MARGIN REACHED 40.1%. THESE RESULTS REFLECTED THE CONSOLIDATION OF CABLECOM, WHICH CONTRIBUTED WITH PS.480.8 MILLION TO OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME, AND LOWER LEASING AND LONG DISTANCE EXPENSES. EXCLUDING CABLECOM, FOURTH QUARTER OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED BY 21.7%.

FULL YEAR OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED BY 28.6% TO PS.7,882.9 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.6,131.8 MILLION IN 2013, AND THE MARGIN REACHED 37.7%, AN INCREASE OF 190 BASIS POINTS FROM 2013. THESE RESULTS PRIMARILY REFLECTED THE CONSOLIDATION OF CABLECOM, WHICH CONTRIBUTED WITH PS.638.1 MILLION TO OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME, CONTINUED GROWTH IN THE CABLE PLATFORMS AND BESTEL, AND THE BENEFIT FROM LOWER PROGRAMMING COSTS AS A RESULT OF THE MUST-OFFER REGULATION. THESE FAVORABLE VARIANCES WERE PARTIALLY OFFSET BY THE INCREASE IN MAINTENANCE COSTS, PERSONNEL COSTS, AND ADVERTISING SPENDING DURING THE YEAR. EXCLUDING CABLECOM, FULL YEAR OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME INCREASED BY 18.2%.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SETS FORTH THE BREAKDOWN OF REVENUES AND OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME, EXCLUDING CONSOLIDATION ADJUSTMENTS, FOR OUR CABLE AND NETWORK OPERATIONS FOR 2014 AND 2013.

FOR THE FULL YEAR, THAT FIGURE IS EQUIVALENT TO PS.335.0 MILLION. THESE EXPENSES ARE BETTER ACCOUNTED FOR AS OPERATING EXPENSES AS THEY ARE RELATED TO THE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE CREATED TO LEAD IN THE EXPANSION AND INTEGRATION OF TELEVISA´S TELECOMMUNICATIONS OPERATIONS.

THE OPERATING SEGMENT INCOME FOR 2013 OF CABLE OPERATIONS  AND NETWORK OPERATIONS AMOUNTED TO PS.5,552.7 MILLION AND PS.820.7 MILLION, RESPECTIVELY.

OTHER BUSINESSES

FOURTH QUARTER SALES DECREASED BY 1.6% TO PS.2,533.2 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.2,574.8 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER 2013. THE DECREASE IS MAINLY EXPLAINED BY A DROP IN REVENUES FROM OUR PUBLISHING BUSINESS, WHICH WAS PARTIALLY COMPENSATED BY AN INCREASE IN THE REVENUES OF OUR GAMING AND FEATURE-FILM DISTRIBUTION BUSINESSES.

FULL YEAR SALES INCREASED BY 1.6% TO PS.8,204.0 MILLION COMPARED WITH PS.8,073.3 MILLION IN 2013. BUSINESSES THAT PERFORMED WELL INCLUDE FEATURE-FILM DISTRIBUTION, GAMING, AND RADIO.

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. THE INCREASE OF PS.239.7 MILLION REFLECTED PRIMARILY A HIGHER NUMBER OF OUR CPOS CONDITIONALLY SOLD TO OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES IN OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SEGMENT, AS WELL AS THE INCREASE IN THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR CPO FROM LAST YEAR.

OTHER EXPENSE, NET

OTHER EXPENSE, NET, INCREASED BY PS.5,198.6 MILLION  TO PS.5,281.7 MILLION IN 2014, FROM PS.83.1 MILLION  IN 2013.

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 Finance and Risk area 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 2014, no such financial derivatives were outstanding. Pursuant to the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards Board, certain financial derivative transactions originally intended to serve as a hedge and in effect until December 31st, 2014, 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.
 
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 and Corporate Practices 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 the form agreement recommended by Banco de México. 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 2014, there were no defaults or margin calls under the aforementioned financial derivative transactions.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 has given rise to a significant change in the structure of a financial derivative transaction, caused it to be used other than as originally intended, or 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.

 
1.
During the relevant quarter, one “Knock-out Option Call” agreement through which Televisa hedged against severe Mexican Peso depreciation for a notional amount of U.S.$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Dollars 00/100) by paying a premium, expired. This option was entered in December 2011, and expired with Televisa not exercising it in November 2014.

Likewise there were no defaults or margin calls under financial derivative transactions.

v.           Quantitative Information. Attached hereto as Table 1 is a summary of the financial derivative instruments purchased by Televisa, 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.
