Advertising
Advertising revenue decreased by 16.4% to Ps.5,238.5 million compared with Ps.6,264.7 million in second-quarter 2014. Second-quarter 2015 results are not directly comparable to those in second-quarter 2014 as a result of (i) the transmission of the 2014 World Cup during second-quarter 2014; (ii) Televisa´s obligation to provide political parties an important part of our advertising inventory free of charge as a result of the electoral campaigns in Mexico during the quarter; and (iii) the absence of our transmission of key soccer matches during the quarter.
Network Subscription Revenue
Second-quarter Network Subscription Revenue increased by 27.1% to Ps.854.1 million compared with Ps.672.0 million in second-quarter 2014. The growth was driven mainly by the sustained addition of pay-TV subscribers, both in Mexico and Latin America and to a lesser extent a positive translation effect on foreign-currency denominated revenues. During the quarter, Televisa continued to produce and transmit several of the leading pay-TV networks in Mexico in key categories, including general entertainment, music and lifestyle, and movies. Ten of the top 30 pay-TV networks in Mexico were produced by Televisa including 5 of the top 10 general entertainment networks, 3 of the top 6 movie networks, the number 3 rated sports network and 3 of the top 4 music networks.
Licensing and Syndication
Second-quarter Licensing and Syndication revenue increased by 9.7% to Ps.1,830.4 million compared with Ps.1,668.9 million in second-quarter 2014. The increase is explained mainly by a positive translation effect on foreign-currency denominated revenues. Second-quarter royalties from Univision decreased by 10.8% to US$75.0 million in second-quarter 2015 from US$84.0 million in second-quarter 2014 as a result of Univision´s transmission of the 2014 World Cup in second-quarter 2014. The other revenue components of Licensing and Syndication, royalties from Netflix and exports to the rest of the world, remained relatively stable.
|
||||||
Second-quarter operating segment income decreased by 14.6% to Ps.3,378.5 million compared with Ps.3,957.5 million in second-quarter 2014. The margin was 42.6%. The drop in the margin of 340 basis points from same quarter last year is mainly explained by the decrease in our advertising revenues.
|
||||||
Sky
|
Second-quarter sales increased by 9.0% to Ps.4,724.5 million compared with Ps.4,333.1 million in second-quarter 2014. The increase was driven by accelerated growth in the subscriber base in Mexico, which is explained by the continued success of Sky’s low-cost offerings. The number of net active subscribers increased by 120,582 during the quarter to 6,887,428 as of June 30, 2015, compared with 6,357,552 as of June 30, 2014. Sky ended the quarter with 190,785 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
|
|||||
Second-quarter operating segment income increased by 9.2% to Ps.2,273.9 million compared with Ps.2,082.0 million in second-quarter 2014, and the margin was 48.1%, practically flat from same quarter last year.
|
||||||
Telecommunications
|
Second-quarter sales increased by 43.8% to Ps.6,909.7 million compared with Ps.4,803.7 million in second-quarter 2014 driven by growth in all of our cable platforms and the consolidation, for the full quarter, of Ps.1,598.5 million revenues from Cablecom and Telecable (also referred to as Cablevisión Red). Excluding Cablecom and Telecable, second-quarter sales from our cable and network operations increased by 10.6%.
Voice and data revenue generating units, or RGUs, grew 61.1% and 49.3% compared with second-quarter 2014, respectively, and video RGUs grew 52.4%. Excluding the acquisition of Cablecom and Telecable, Voice and Data RGUs, grew 35.2% and 23.5% compared with second-quarter 2014, respectively, while Video RGUs grew by 4.2%.
|
|||||
The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our telecommunications segments as of June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Second-quarter operating segment income increased by 55.4% to Ps.2,764.2 million compared with Ps.1,778.2 million in second-quarter 2014, and the margin was 40.0%, an increase of 300 basis points from same quarter last year. These results primarily reflected the consolidation of Cablecom and Telecable, which contributed with Ps.758.8 million to operating segment income, continued growth in the cable platforms and Bestel, and lower long distance costs. These favorable variances were partially offset by the increase in maintenance costs, programming costs, marketing and advertising expenses, leasing expenses, and personnel costs and expenses during the quarter. Excluding Cablecom and Telecable, operating segment income increased by 12.8%.
The following tables set forth the breakdown of revenues and operating segment income, excluding consolidation adjustments, for our cable and network operations for second-quarter 2015 and 2014.
Our cable operations include the video, voice and data services provided by Cablevisión, Cablemás, TVI, Cablecom and Telecable. Our network operations include the services offered by Bestel and the network operations of Cablecom.

(1) These results do not include consolidation adjustments of Ps.225.5 million in revenues nor Ps.81.3 million in Operating Segment Income, which are considered in the consolidated results of the Telecommunications segment.
(2) The Operating Segment Income line above includes certain expenses previously included in the consolidation adjustments figure as reported in second-quarter of 2014, which amounted to Ps.91.4 million in that period. 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.

Other Businesses
|
Second-quarter sales decreased by 2.6% to Ps.1,896.5 million compared with Ps.1,946.9 million in second-quarter 2014. Businesses that performed well include gaming and soccer. The gaming business benefited from an increase in the number of electronic gaming machines, while the soccer business benefited from higher advertising revenues and ticket sales. This effect was more than compensated by lower revenues in our publishing, radio, publishing distribution, and feature-film distribution businesses.
|
|||||||||
Second-quarter operating segment income decreased by 34.9% to Ps.129.0 million compared with Ps.198.1 million in second-quarter 2014, reflecting i) a decrease in the operating segment income of our publishing and radio businesses; and ii) a larger operating segment loss in our soccer business. This effect was partially compensated by an increase in the operating segment income of our gamming and feature-film distribution businesses, as well as a smaller operating segment loss in our publishing distribution business.
