Televisa Q3 2025: Sky down 18.2%, margin 38.5%, debt lower
Grupo Televisa (TV) reported third-quarter 2025 results under IFRS. Revenues were Ps.14,627.0 million, down 4.8% year over year, as a decline at Sky offset flat Cable. Operating segment income was Ps.5,677.1 million (down 0.7%), with a 38.5% margin.
Despite higher operating income and lower finance expense, the company posted a net loss attributable to stockholders of Ps.1,932.5 million, versus income of Ps.666.5 million a year ago, primarily due to Ps.2,837.1 million higher income taxes that included a non-cash write-off of a deferred tax asset of Ps.2,658.2 million. Income before taxes rose to Ps.1,096.4 million.
Cable revenues were Ps.11,679.8 million (flat), while Sky fell 18.2% to Ps.3,051.0 million. Finance expense, net improved to Ps.675.4 million (better by Ps.583.9 million). Capital expenditures were U.S.$196.1 million (Ps.3,656.6 million). Total debt decreased to Ps.87,061.1 million from Ps.102,955.2 million, and consolidated net debt was Ps.50,086.3 million as of September 30, 2025.

Negative

Insights
Operationally steady cable, weak Sky; net loss driven by tax write-off.
Televisa delivered modest operating resilience: revenues fell 4.8% to Ps.14,627.0 million, but operating segment income slipped only 0.7% with a margin of 38.5%. The business mix shows stability in Cable and pressure in Sky, where segment revenues declined 18.2% to Ps.3,051.0 million.
The bottom-line swing to a Ps.(1,932.5) million loss stems mainly from income taxes, including a non-cash deferred tax asset write-off of Ps.2,658.2 million. Operationally, financing costs improved: finance expense, net narrowed to Ps.675.4 million, aided by foreign exchange effects.
Balance sheet signals include total debt down to Ps.87,061.1 million and capex of U.S.$196.1 million in the quarter. Actual cash impact from selling trends will hinge on subscriber dynamics; subsequent filings may detail sustained Cable growth versus continued Sky attrition.
