Excluding incremental revenue from major soccer tournaments2 that aired in the third quarter of 2007 and 2008 and political advertising revenue in the third quarter of 2007 and 2008, third quarter net revenue increased 0.3% and OIBDA increased 0.1%.

Excluding incremental revenue from major soccer tournaments that aired in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and political advertising revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 1.5% and OIBDA decreased 1.8%.
Joe Uva, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite continuing pressure on the advertising market as a result of the current economic conditions, Univision’s net revenue excluding incremental revenue from major soccer and political increased 0.3% in the third quarter, whereas the television industry decreased 9.4%3 and the radio industry decreased by 8.6%.4 The Univision Network is currently boasting its best season start ever with Univision seeing year-to-year audience growth among all major demographics for the first several weeks of the new season. All of the other major networks, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and CW, have seen their own audiences dwindle. Going forward, Univision’s unique ability to consistently out deliver our peers and connect with our audience will position us for continued growth.”

RADIO HIGHLIGHTS
In the markets which continue to be measured by the Arbitron diary method, Univision Radio has continued to post solid ratings and share improvement. For the Summer 2008 book, Univision Radio stations in Dallas, San Diego, Puerto Rico and Fresno maintained the #1 ranking in those markets among all Adults 25-54 (Hispanic and Non-Hispanic). In addition, Univision Radio had the #1 ranked Spanish-language station among Adults 18-34 and Adults 25-54 in Miami, Dallas, San Antonio, San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Fresno. On October 6, Arbitron discontinued the diary method of collecting ratings information in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco/San Jose.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION TO NET LOSS
The Company uses the key indicator of adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, for planning and forecasting future business operations, and reporting to the banks. This indicator is presented on an adjusted basis consistent with the definition in the Company’s bank credit agreement governing its Senior Secured Credit Facilities to exclude certain expenses.
OIBDA is not, and should not be used as, an indicator of or alternative to operating income (loss) or net loss as reflected in the consolidated financial statements. It is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since the definition of OIBDA may vary among companies and industries it should not be used as a measure of performance among companies.
The tables below set forth a reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income (loss) for each segment and consolidated net loss, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
