(1) The operating segment income margin is calculated as a percentage of segment net sales.

Net sales decreased by 2.1% to Ps.94,274.2 million in 2017 compared with Ps.96,287.4 million in 2016. This decrease was attributable to the decline in Content segment revenues and, to a lesser extent, the decline in sales at our Other Businesses segment. Operating segment income decreased by 3.8%, reaching Ps.37,456.8 million with a margin of 38.4%.

Net income attributable to stockholders of the Company amounted to Ps.4,524.5 million in 2017, compared with Ps.3,721.4 million in 2016. The net increase of Ps.803.1 million, or 21.6%, reflected primarily (i) a Ps.4,227.2 million decrease in finance expense, net; (ii) a Ps.773.7 million increase in share of income of associates and joint ventures, net; and (iii) a Ps.751.1 million decrease in other expense, net. These favorable variances were partially offset by (i) a Ps.1,556.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and (ii) a Ps.1,401.9 million increase in income taxes.

Advertising
 
Advertising fourth quarter revenue decreased by 14.7% to Ps.6,820.5 million compared with Ps.7,995.5 million in fourth quarter 2016. Full year advertising revenue decreased by 10.8%.
 
Advertising sold in our non-cancellable upfront, which typically accounts for the large majority of advertising revenue in a given year, is priced per spot based on, among other things, prior years’ ratings. 
 
The pricing of such inventory remains fixed regardless of any change in ratings when transmitted. As a result of the ratings increase during 2017, clients achieved their target number of eyeballs with a smaller expense and were practically absent from the scatter market. This negative effect was particularly adverse to Televisa during the fourth quarter given the significance of scatter market revenue towards the last few months of the year. 
 
For 2018, we have successfully migrated clients to a pricing mechanism based on ratings. Under the new sales mechanism, advertising customer deposits increased by 1.8% in 2018, with a number of contracts concluded soon after year end.
 
Network Subscription Revenue
 
Fourth-quarter Network Subscription revenue increased by 9.5% to Ps.1,145.1 million compared to Ps.1,045.4 million in fourth-quarter 2016.
 
Full year Network Subscription revenue decreased by 7.8%. The full year decrease is explained by the fact that a competitor is no longer carrying our pay TV networks. Fourth quarter did not have this effect, which explains the growth.
 
Licensing and Syndication
 
Fourth-quarter Licensing and Syndication revenue decreased by 0.4% to Ps.2,640.2 million compared to Ps.2,650.0 million in fourth-quarter 2016. Fourth-quarter royalties from Univision reached U.S.$78.8 million compared to U.S.$90.4 million in the fourth-quarter 2016. For the full year 2017 royalties from Univision reached U.S.$313.9 million.
 
The full year increase in Licensing and Syndication revenue of 1.7% is mainly explained by non-recurring revenue originated in other local licensing agreements.
 
Fourth quarter operating segment income for our Content segment decreased by 17.8% to Ps.3,919.5 million compared with Ps.4,767.8 million in fourth quarter 2016; the margin was 37.0%.
 
Full-year operating segment income for our Content segment decreased by 13.0% to Ps.12,825.3 million compared with Ps.14,748.0 million in 2016. The margin was 37.7%.

Sky
Fourth quarter sales increased by 1.2% to Ps.5,568.9 million compared with Ps.5,505.1 million in fourth quarter 2016. During the quarter, Sky lost 12,372 subscribers.
 
Full year sales increased by 1.2% to Ps.22,196.6 million compared with Ps.21,941.2 million in 2016. The number of net active subscribers decreased by 23,993 during the year to 8,002,526 as of December 31, 2017. Sky ended the quarter with 174,809 subscribers in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
 
During 2017, Sky was impacted by the unusually high growth in net additions in 2016 as a result of the analog shut down.
 
On the other hand, during 2017 the number of clients that subscribe to a high-definition package grew by 20% reaching approximately 7% of the total subscriber base. In addition, revenue per customer increased year over year by 6%.
 
Fourth quarter operating segment income decreased by 4.1% to Ps.2,324.1 million compared with Ps.2,423.8 million in fourth quarter 2016, and the margin was 41.7%. The decrease in margin is explained by the amortization of cost and expenses associated to the 2018 Soccer World Cup.
 
Full year operating segment income increased by 2.1% to Ps.10,106.6 million compared with Ps.9,898.5 million in 2016, and the margin was 45.5%, in line with given guidance.
   
Cable
Fourth quarter sales increased by 3.4% to Ps.8,592.9 million compared with Ps.8,313.2 million in fourth quarter 2016.
 
Full year sales increased by 3.6% to Ps.33,048.3 million compared with Ps.31,891.6 million in 2016.
 
Total revenue generating units, or RGUs, reached 10.1 million. Quarterly growth was mainly driven by 157 thousand data net additions. Video net additions were 62 thousand and voice net additions were 23 thousand, for a total quarter net additions of approximately 242 thousand.
 
Last quarter was the third consecutive quarter of improvement in net additions.
 
The following table sets forth the breakdown of RGUs per service type for our Cable segment as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Other Businesses
Fourth quarter sales decreased by 19.9% to Ps.2,229.2 million compared with Ps.2,783.0 million in fourth quarter 2016. The decrease is mainly explained by lower revenues in our publishing and feature film distribution businesses.
 
Full year sales decreased by 5.1% to Ps.8,376.3 million compared with Ps.8,828.3 million in 2016. Decrease in revenues was mainly driven by performance in publishing and soccer businesses.
 
Fourth quarter operating segment income reached Ps.223.7 million compared with Ps.368.1 million in fourth quarter 2016.
 
Full year operating segment income decreased by 52.9% to Ps.490.1 million compared with Ps.1,040.6 million in 2016, reflecting a decrease in operating segment income of our publishing, soccer and feature film distribution businesses.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense increased marginally by Ps.83.1 million, or 3.8%, to Ps.2,291.0 million in 2017, from Ps.2,207.9 million in 2016. The increase reflected primarily a higher share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense in 2017 and 2016 amounted to Ps.1,489.9 million and Ps.1,410.5 million, respectively, and was accounted for as corporate expense. Share-based compensation expense is measured at fair value at the time the equity benefits are conditionally sold to officers and employees, and is recognized over the vesting period.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, decreased by Ps.751.1 million, or 23.9%, to Ps.2,386.3 million in 2017, from Ps.3,137.4 million in 2016. This decrease reflected primarily (i) a lower loss on disposition of property and equipment resulting primarily from a reduction in network upgrades in our Cable segment operations, and from the absence of costs incurred in connection with the cancellation in 2016 of a contract for a new satellite in our Sky segment; and (ii) a lower expense related to legal and accounting advisory and professional services. These favorable variances were partially offset by losses on disposition of a Publishing business in Argentina in our Other Businesses segment, and of intangible assets in our Content segment.

Other expense in 2017 included primarily non-recurrent severance expenses; losses on disposition of property, equipment and intangible assets; legal and accounting advisory and professional services; donations; a loss on disposition of a Publishing business in Argentina; and impairment adjustments to certain trademarks in our Publishing business.

(i)
a Ps.3,259.2 million favorable change in foreign exchange income or loss, net, resulting primarily from a 4.5% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in 2017, compared with a 19.9% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in 2016;

(ii)
a favorable change of Ps.946.6 million in other finance income or expense, net, resulting primarily from a net gain in fair value in our derivative contracts; and

(iii)
a Ps.769.2 million increase in interest income explained primarily by an increase in interest rates applicable to cash equivalents.
 
 
 
   
 
 
Grupo Televisa, S.A.B.
 
 
  FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2017 RESULTS 6  
 
 

 
These favorable variances were partially offset by a Ps.747.8 million increase in interest expense, due primarily to a higher average principal amount of debt in the fourth quarter of 2017, as we incurred in Mexican peso debt in October and November 2017, for the prepayment in December 2017 of certain outstanding debt and accrued interest, primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as fees paid in connection with such prepayment of debt.

Share of Income of Associates and Joint Ventures, Net

Share of income of associates and joint ventures, net, increased by Ps.773.7 million, or 67.9%, to Ps.1,913.3 million for in 2017, from Ps.1,139.6 million in 2016. This increase reflected mainly a higher share of income of Univision Holdings, Inc. or UHI, the controlling company of Univision Communications Inc., resulting from an increase in UHI’s income before income taxes, and a non-recurring tax benefit in connection with a reduction of the corporate tax rate in the United States from 35% to 21%, which was partially offset by a lower share of income of Imagina Media Audiovisual, S.L., a communications company in Spain.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by Ps.1,401.9 million, or 48.8%, to Ps.4,274.1 million in 2017, compared with Ps.2,872.2 million in 2016. This increase resulted in a higher effective income tax rate, primarily in connection with a higher taxable inflationary gain resulting from a net monetary liability position of the Company and certain subsidiaries, and a 6.8% inflation rate in 2017, compared with a 3.4% inflation rate in 2016.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased by Ps.441.0 million, or 27.4%, to Ps.2,053.0 million in 2017, compared with Ps.1,612.0 million in 2016. This increase reflected primarily a higher portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests in our Cable and Sky segments.

Other Relevant Information

Capital Expenditures

During 2017, capital expenditures were 41% lower than in 2016. We invested approximately U.S.$884.7 million in property, plant and equipment as capital expenditures. These capital expenditures included approximately U.S.$559.7 million for our Cable segment, U.S.$211.4 million for our Sky segment, and U.S.$113.6 million for our Content and Other Businesses segments.

As of December 31, 2017, our consolidated net debt position (total debt, finance leases and other notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, and non-current held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments) was Ps.79,273.1 million. The aggregate amount of non-current held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments as of December 31, 2017, amounted to Ps.7,585.2 million.

In November 2017 we entered into long-term credit agreements with three Mexican banks in the aggregate principal amount of Ps.6,000 million.

In December 2017, we prepaid the principal outstanding amount of U.S.$500 million Senior Notes due 2018 at an aggregate redemption price of Ps.9,841.7 million (U.S.$511.7 million), which included related fees and accrued and unpaid interest at the redemption date.
