Segment Performance (Full Year 2025)
- Residential: Revenue Ps.42,181.6 million (-1.8%). Broadband subscribers reached 5.7 million (+46.9k net adds); Mobile subscribers reached 652.9k (+318.9k net adds).
- Satellite: Revenue Ps.12,397.0 million (-17.5%). Total RGUs declined to 3.8 million (-1.3 million disconnections).
- Enterprise: Revenue Ps.4,299.6 million (+0.8%).
Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Consolidated revenue fell 5.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by a 17.5% drop in Satellite Services revenue due to a 25.9% reduction in the RGU base.
- Profitability Improvement: Despite revenue declines, Operating Segment Income (OSI) margin expanded by 190 basis points to 39.1% due to cost efficiencies and synergies from the Cable/Sky integration.
- Operating Income Turnaround: The Company moved from an operating loss of Ps.2,818.9 million in 2024 to an operating profit of Ps.4,224.9 million in 2025. This was largely driven by a 77.7% reduction in "Other Expense, net," which dropped from Ps.4,554.9 million to Ps.1,013.8 million.
- Net Loss Drivers: Net loss attributable to stockholders increased to Ps.8,819.6 million. This was primarily caused by a Ps.7,237.8 million increase in income taxes, driven by non-cash write-offs of deferred tax assets (Ps.6,516.9 million) due to expired capital losses and impairment testing on satellite operations.
- Debt Reduction: Total debt and lease liabilities decreased by Ps.16,911.7 million (15.6%) to Ps.91,430.2 million.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Dividend Suspension: The Board of Directors approved the suspension of the 2026 dividend payment to analyze investment opportunities in the Mexican Telecommunications Sector. A capital stock increase may be considered if opportunities materialize.
- Capital Expenditures: Full-year 2025 Capex was approximately U.S.$645.0 million (Ps.12,186.6 million), an increase from U.S.$493.0 million in 2024, aligned with full-year deployment goals.
- TelevisaUnivision Impact: The Company recorded a higher share of loss from its associate, TelevisaUnivision, due to non-recurring non-cash charges (program rights write-offs) recognized by the associate in 2025.
- Foreign Exchange: Finance expense improved due to a 13.7% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in 2025, compared to a 23.2% depreciation in 2024.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Deferred Tax Asset Write-offs: Verify the sustainability of future tax benefits given the Ps.6.5 billion write-off of unused capital losses and deductible temporary differences.
- Satellite Churn: Assess the long-term viability of the Satellite segment given the 1.3 million RGU disconnections and 17.5% revenue decline.
- Dividend Policy: Confirm the timeline and criteria for the potential resumption of dividends or the execution of the proposed capital stock increase.
- TelevisaUnivision Exposure: Review the specific nature of the non-cash charges at TelevisaUnivision to determine if they are recurring or one-time events.
- Segment Integration: Monitor the realization of synergies from the Cable/Sky integration to ensure the 190 bps margin expansion is sustainable.
