Highlights (1Q23 vs. 1Q22):
§ Total Revenues reached Ps. 22,761.9 million, an increase of 5.9% in real
terms compared to 1Q22, mainly due to higher revenues in Digital and Printed

Programming segment.
§ Adjusted EBITDA((1)) reached Ps. 3,205.0 million, an increase of 9.8%
compared to 2,918.6 for 1Q22, mainly driven by a higher EBITDA in the Digital

in Broadcasting and Programming.

13.6% in 1Q22.

(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.
OPERATING RESULTS
Total Revenues reached Ps. 22,761.9 million, an increase of 5.9% in real terms
from Ps. 21,501.1 million in 1Q22, in a context of increasing inflation (which

revenues decreased 6.5% in real terms and represented around 34.9% of the
Total Revenues of the Company. Circulation revenues increased 19.9% YoY and
represented 39.3% of the Total. Programming revenues decreased 6.2% YoY and
represented 14.7% of the Total.

Cost of sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization) reached Ps. 13,757.5
million, an increase of 3.8% from Ps. 13,252.7 million reported in 1Q22,
mainly due to higher costs in the Digital and Printed Publications segment
related to the increase in schoolbooks sales, partially offset by lower
salaries and severance payments.
Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
totaled Ps. 5,799.4 million, an increase of 8.8% from Ps. 5,329.9 million in
1Q22. This increase was mainly due to higher contingencies, distribution costs
and advertising and promotion costs partially offset by lower salaries and
severance payments.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to Ps. 3,205.0 million, increase of 9.8% from Ps.
2,918.6 million reported in 1Q22. This increase was driven by a higher EBITDA

Programming, mainly as a result of lower advertising and programming revenues
in real terms.
Following is a breakdown of adjusted EBITDA by business segment:
ADJUSTED EBITDA
(In millions of Ps.) 1Q23 1Q22 YoY 4Q22 QoQ

Financial results net totaled Ps. (1,290.7) million compared to Ps. (2,052.4)
million in 1Q22. This decrease was mainly due to lower negative results of
operations with notes and bonds, higher gained interests and positive net FX
results versus a negative figure in 2022, partially offset by higher interest
on debts and higher negative inflation adjustment results versus 2022.
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in 1Q23 totaled Ps. 743.4
million, compared to Ps. 462.7 million in 1Q22, mainly related to positive
results in TRISA versus a negative result in 2022, the suspension of
operations in BIMO which had had negative results in 2022 and higher net
income in our subsidiary Papel Prensa.

million in 1Q22.

Revenues
Revenues decreased by 8.8% to Ps. 9,112.5 million in 1Q23, compared to Ps.

of the high interannual inflation, advertising revenues remained stable in
similar levels registered during 1Q22, driven by higher digital advertising.

Ps. 6,687.7 million in 1Q23, compared to Ps. 5,772.9 million in 1Q22. The

increased by 11.1% to Ps. 4,122.3 million in 1Q23, compared to the Ps.

in 1Q23 compared to Ps. 320.2 million in 1Q22.
