Segment Information

Reportable segments are those that are based on the Group’s method of internal reporting.

The Group is organized on the basis of services and products. The Group’s segments are strategic business units that offer different entertainment services and products.

On January 31, 2022, the Group’s former Content business and other related net assets were disposed of by the Group in conjunction with the TelevisaUnivision Transaction. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Group’s operating results of its former Content business and other related net assets through January 31, 2022, were classified as discontinued operations, including the corresponding information for earlier periods . On January 31, 2024, the Company carried out the Spin-off of businesses and other related assets that were classified in the Group’s former Other Businesses segment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, the Group’s operating results of its Spun - off Businesses through January 31, 2024, were classified as discontinued operations, including the corresponding information for earlier periods (see Notes 3 and 28).

Through December 31, 2024, the Group’s reportable segments were as follows:

Cable

The Cable segment includes the operation of cable multiple systems covering the Mexico City metropolitan area, Monterrey and suburban areas, and over 200 other cities of Mexico, as well as the operation of telecommunication facilities through a fiber-optic network that covers the most important cities and economic regions of Mexico and the cities of San Antonio and San Diego in the United States (Bestel).

The cable multiple system businesses derive revenues from cable subscribers, principally from basic and premium television services subscription, pay-per-view fees, installation fees, internet services subscription, telephone and mobile services subscription as well as from local and national advertising sales.

The telecommunication facilities business derives revenues from providing data and long-distance services solutions to carriers and other telecommunications service providers through its fiber-optic network.

Sky

The Sky segment includes DTH broadcast satellite pay television services in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic. Sky revenues are primarily derived from program services, installation fees, equipment rental to subscribers, and national advertising sales.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Group’s summary of material accounting policies (see Note 2). The Group evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating income before depreciation and amortization.

Intersegment Revenue

Intersegment revenue consists of revenues derived from each of the segments principal activities as provided to other segments.

The Group accounts for intersegment revenues as if the revenues were from third parties, that is, at current market prices.

Allocation of Corporate Expenses

Non-allocated corporate expenses primarily include share-based compensation expense for certain key officers and employees in connection with the Company’s LTRP, as well as other general expenses that, because of their nature and characteristics, are not subject to be allocated within the Group’s business segments.
