(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as Total Revenues minus cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and selling and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of our performance. It is commonly used to analyze and compare media companies based on operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, an indication of our financial performance, an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may compute Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner; therefore, Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as we report it.

(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA over Total Revenues.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

BROADCASTING AND PROGRAMMING

 

Revenues

Revenues decreased by 6.0% to Ps. 2,285.2 million in 1Q20, compared to Ps. 2,430.7 million in 1Q19. This was due to lower advertising revenues in constant pesos as of March 2020 in Channel 13 and Radio Mitre.

 

Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

Cost of sales increased by 17.1% to Ps. 1,806.9 million in 1Q20, compared to Ps. 1,542.9 million in 1Q19. The increase was mainly caused by higher programming costs, partially offset by lower salaries and fees for services due to a higher effect of restatement for 1Q19 versus 1Q20.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 5.0% to Ps. 518.1 million in 1Q20, compared to Ps. 545.3 million in 1Q19. The decline was primarily the result of the greater effect of the restatement of the salaries, marketing expenses and fees for services of 1Q19 versus 1Q20, in order to be expressed in homogeneous currency as of March 31, 2020.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 0.5% to Ps. 125.2 million in 1Q20 compared to Ps. 124.6 million reported in 1Q19.

 

PRINTING AND PUBLISHING

 

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by 17.8% to Ps. 2,586.0 million in 1Q20, mainly as a result of lower circulation and advertising revenues in real terms (inflation was 48.3% from March 2019 to March 2020 while circulation and advertising revenues in current pesos increased by approximately 0.2% and 21.8%, respectively).

 

Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

Cost of sales decreased by 13.2% to Ps. 1,529.2 million in 1Q20, compared to Ps. 1,761.6 million in 1Q19. The decrease was mainly the result of lower salaries and printing costs caused by the greater effect of the restatement for 1Q19.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 12.9% to Ps. 1,145.4 million in 1Q20, compared to the Ps. 1,315.0 million reported in 1Q19. This was primarily the result of lower salaries, marketing expenses and fees for services, due to the IAS 29 (inflation) adjustment effect in 1Q19.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 32.3% to Ps. 107.7 million in 1Q20 compared to Ps. 159.2 million in 1Q19.

 

 

 

OTHERS

 

Total revenues in this segment were driven by administrative and corporate services rendered by the Company and its subsidiary GC Gestión Compartida S.A. to third parties, as well as to other subsidiaries of the Company (which are eliminated in the consolidation). Additionally, this segment includes the organization of trade fairs and exhibitions. Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) was mainly the result of salaries and professional consulting fees.

 

In this period, total revenues decreased 44.3% to Ps. 553.5, from Ps. 994.1 million reported in 1Q19, due to lower revenues from Gestión Compartida. EBITDA resulted negative in Ps. 1.7 million.
