(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 9.5% to Ps. 4,441.9 million in 1H19, compared to Ps. 4,908.3 million in 1H18. This was due to lower advertising revenues in constant pesos as of June 2019 in Channel 13.
Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Cost of sales decreased by 6.3% to Ps. 2,706.4 million in 1H19, compared to Ps. 2,889.3 million in 1H18. The decrease was mainly caused by a higher effect of restatement in salaries for 1H18 versus 1H19, that was partially offset by higher production costs.
Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 19.8% to Ps. 852.2 million in 1H19, compared to Ps. 1,062.0 million in 1H18. The decline was primarily the result of the greater effect of the restatement of the salaries, contingencies and marketing expenses of 1H18 versus 1H19, in order to be expressed in homogeneous currency as of June 30, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 0.1% to Ps.179.2 million in 1H19 compared to Ps. 179.4 million reported in 1H18.
PRINTING AND PUBLISHING
Revenues
Total revenues decreased by 14.7% to Ps. 4,965.4 million in 1H19, mainly as a result of lower circulation and advertising revenues in real terms (inflation was 55.8% from 1H18 to 1H19 while circulation and advertising revenues in current pesos increased by approximately 29% and 19%, respectively).
Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Cost of sales decreased by 12.1% to Ps. 3,005.9 million in 1H19, compared to Ps. 3,419.3 million in 1H18. The decrease was mainly the result of lower salaries, printing and distribution costs caused by the greater effect of the restatement for 1H18.
Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 12.9% to Ps.2,082.6 million in 1H19, compared to the Ps. 2,392.2 million reported in 1H18. This was primarily the result of lower salaries and fees for services, due to the IAS 29 (inflation) adjustment effect in 1H18.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 10.7% to Ps. 196.1 million in 1H19 compared to Ps. 177.1 million in 1H18.
DIGITAL CONTENT AND 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 production of digital content, a retail company and 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 31.3% to Ps. 1,207.7, from Ps. 1,757.4 million reported in 1H18, due to lower sales in digital content, retail and revenues from Gestión Compartida. EBITDA resulted negative in Ps. 4.6 million.
