MEXICO CITY, April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TV Azteca, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: AZTECA; Latibex: XTZA), one of the two largest producers of Spanish-language television programming in the world, announced today financial results for the first quarter of 2011.

"Again, we achieved superior results, as a consequence of strong demand for advertising spaces in our content, together with solid execution in the period", commented Azteca CEO Mario San Roman. "The higher demand is related to significant commercial audience levels during the full-day, resulting from our successful programming grid that was complemented with enormously attractive new content, in this quarter, in all of our channels."

First Quarter Results

Net sales were Ps.2,327 million, 5% above the Ps.2,221 million of the same quarter of 2010.  Total costs and expenses were Ps.1,550 million, compared to Ps.1,460 million in the same period of the previous year.

As a result, Azteca reported EBITDA of Ps.777 million, 2% above the Ps.761 million in the first quarter of 2010.  The EBITDA margin for the period was 33%.  The company registered net majority income of Ps.162 million,  23% above the Ps.132 from last year.

EBITDA: Operating Profit Before Depreciation and Amortization.

The number of CPOs outstanding as of March 31, 2010 was 3,009 million and as of March 31, 2011 was 3,002 million.


Net Sales

"The solid programming in the period translated into a 41% full-day commercial audience share in Mexico, what was the foundation for wide-reaching and high-impact advertising campaigns. Advertisers found an unparalleled structure to show the characteristics of their brands to target markets on our platform," added Mr. San Roman.

First quarter revenue includes sales at Azteca America—the company's wholly-owned broadcast television network focused on the U.S. Hispanic market—of Ps.209 million, 7% higher than the Ps.196 million a year ago.

Revenue from barter sales was Ps.58 million in the period, from Ps.67 million from the previous year.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses grew 6% in the quarter, as a result of an increase of the same magnitude in programming, production and transmission costs —to Ps.1,268 million, from Ps.1,191 million in the same period a year ago— and a 5% increase in selling and administrative expenses—to Ps.282 million, from Ps.269 million in the same quarter of 2010.

The increase in costs reflects the production of new successful content for our screens, which was translated into commercial audience share increases and strength in this period's income.

The selling and administrative expenses results are due to higher operating, personnel and services expenses, in the context of growing company operations.

EBITDA and Net Income

EBITDA was Ps.777 million, 2% above the Ps.761 million in the same period of the prior year.

The main change below EBITDA was a decrease of Ps.18 million in comprehensive financing cost, due mainly to lower interest cost on debt combined with higher interest on investments.

Net income for the period was Ps.162 million, 23% above of Ps.132 million from a year ago.

Debt

As of March 31, 2011, Azteca's outstanding debt —excluding Ps.1,433 million debt due 2069—was Ps.7,819 million.  The debt is peso denominated —congruent with most of the company income.

The cash balance of the company was Ps.5,658 million, 32% higher than Ps.4,288 million a year ago.

Net debt was Ps.2,161 million, 35% below the Ps.3,318 million from the previous year.  Debt to last twelve months (LTM) EBITDA ratio was 1.7 times, and net debt to LTM EBITDA was 0.5 times.

Company Profile
