BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2024 / Cablevisión Holding SA, (“Cablevision Holding”, “CVH” or “the Company”) – (BCBA: CVH) (Level 1: CVHSY), majority shareholder of Telecom Argentina SA (NYSE: TEO, BCBA: TECO2), today announced its results for the first half and second quarter of 2024. The figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and are expressed in constant Argentine pesos (“Ps.” or “P$”) as of June 30, 2024, unless otherwise noted.
Management has applied IAS 29 (Inflation Adjustment) in preparing these financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 777/18 of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”).
CVH highlights (1H24 vs. 1H23):
-
Total revenues amounted to P1,666,979 million, representing a decrease of 13.3% in real terms in H1 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, against the backdrop that the price increases for our services in 2023 and H1 2024 were not sufficient to offset the lag compared to inflation (271.5% year-on-year as of June 2024).
-
Total expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) amounted to P1,172,951 million, a decrease of 14.9% at constant exchange rates, due to lower costs of all items.
-
EBITDA reached P494,028 million in H1 2024, down 9.1% in real terms compared to H1 2023, mainly due to lower revenues partially offset by lower operating expenses, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 29.6% in H1 2024, compared to 28.3% in H1 2023.
-
Consolidated net income amounted to P856,045 million. Consolidated net income attributable to the parent company amounted to P329,661 million.

(1) EBITDA is defined as total revenues less operating costs and expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe EBITDA is a meaningful measure of our performance. It is often used to analyze and compare media companies based on operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Nevertheless, EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indication of our financial performance, as an alternative to cash flow from operations, or as a measure of liquidity. Other companies may calculate EBITDA in different ways; therefore, EBITDA reported by other companies may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by us.
(2 ) The EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA in relation to total sales.
