The broadcaster, which owns the Univision broadcast network in the U.S., said net income increased to $180.9 million in the third quarter, compared with $46.4 million in the year-earlier period.
TelevisaUnivision said a sale of assets during the period resulted in a gain of more than $160 million. The company also indicated its direct-to-consumer operations, which include the ViX streaming service, have become profitable after launching two years ago. “We are at a critical juncture in our evolution, and we will be laser-focused on integrating our legacy companies into a unified global entity, said Daniel Alegre, the company’s new CEO, in prepared remarks. “Our goal is to evolve into a content-first, platform-agnostic organization that connects with audiences wherever they engage.” Alegre took the reins of the company after Wade Davis, the former Viacom CFO who orchestrated a buyout of Univision in 2020 before merging it with Mexico’s Grupo Televisa in 2022, ceded his CEO role to him.
Alegre was president and chief operating officer of Activision Blizzard, which was acquired for $69 billion last year by Microsoft.
