Debt cut, but Televisa (NYSE: TV) halts its 2026 dividend
Grupo Televisa reported 2025 Telecom revenues of Ps.58,878.2 million, down 5.4% from Ps.62,260.9 million in 2024, mainly from a 17.5% drop in Satellite revenue. Despite this, operating income swung to a Ps.4,224.9 million profit from a Ps.2,818.9 million loss as margins improved and other expense fell sharply.
Net loss attributable to stockholders increased to Ps.8,819.6 million from Ps.8,265.5 million, driven largely by Ps.7,926.4 million of income taxes, including major non-cash write-offs of deferred tax assets tied to capital losses and satellite operations. Net debt was Ps.49,115.2 million with total debt reduced to Ps.85,994.2 million from Ps.102,955.2 million.
Fourth-quarter 2025 Telecom revenues declined 4.5% year-on-year, but operating segment income rose 6.1% and the margin reached 40.9% helped by cost efficiencies. The Board approved suspending the dividend in 2026 while the company evaluates investment opportunities in the Mexican telecommunications sector, and it may consider a capital increase if needed.
Positive
- Operating turnaround: 2025 operating income improved to Ps.4,224.9 million from a Ps.2,818.9 million loss, with the operating segment margin rising to 39.1% and fourth-quarter margin reaching 40.9%.
- Debt reduction: Total debt fell to Ps.85,994.2 million at December 31, 2025 from Ps.102,955.2 million a year earlier, materially strengthening the capital structure.
- Lower finance and other expenses: Finance expense, net, decreased by Ps.413.2 million and other expense, net, fell by Ps.3,541.1 million, easing recurring earnings pressure.
Negative
- Persistent and larger losses: Net loss attributable to stockholders increased to Ps.8,819.6 million from Ps.8,265.5 million, despite the operating improvement.
- Heavy tax-related charges: Income taxes surged to Ps.7,926.4 million, driven by large non-cash write-offs of deferred tax assets related to unused capital losses and satellite impairments.
- Satellite decline: Satellite revenues dropped 17.5% in 2025, with total Satellite RGUs falling from 5,062,621 to 3,751,352, pressuring overall Telecom revenues.
- Dividend suspension: The Board approved suspending the dividend in 2026 while evaluating telecom investments, signaling a shift away from near-term cash returns to shareholders.
