## Summary

TelevisaUnivision’s third-quarter revenue rose 9% to $1.4 billion, helped by World Cup broadcasts in Mexico and Latin America and growth in its ViX streaming service. The results show the value of sports rights and streaming subscriptions as the company seeks to strengthen its finances, although it reported an operating loss.

Subscription and licensing revenue increased 30% to $640 million, including about $90 million from sublicensing World Cup rights in Spanish-speaking Latin America. Advertising revenue fell 5% to $717 million; $389 million came from World Cup advertising in Mexico, while US advertising revenue dropped 24% to $328 million. A $372 million non-cash impairment related to television broadcast licences contributed to the operating loss of $119 million, compared with operating income of $265 million a year earlier.
