MEXICO CITY, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Total Play Telecomunicaciones, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Total Play”), a leading telecommunications company in Mexico, which offers internet access, pay television and telephony services, through one of the largest 100% fiber optic networks in the country, announced today financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

“The solid increase of 121,572 net subscribers for Totalplay Residential in the quarter — which results from strong demand for our technologically advanced internet services — was consistent with the optimization of the use of our fiber optic network, which allowed us to increase the number of users without additional investment in geographic coverage, supporting the performance of the company’s financial results,” commented Eduardo Kuri, CEO of Total Play.

“Regarding the balance sheet, we reduced Total Play’s debt with cost by 5%, as a result of various amortizations during the period, including US$31 million of the Senior Secured Notes due 2028, which were paid in the first half of the year according to their amortization schedule, and US$56 million of the remaining Senior Notes due 2025, which were paid in the fourth quarter of the previous year,” Mr. Kuri added. “Similarly, we reduced trade payables by 9% and lease liabilities by 26%, which further strengthened the company’s capital structure.”

Second quarter results 

Revenue for the quarter was Ps.11,360 million, compared to Ps.11,551 million for the same period of the prior year. Total costs and expenses were Ps.6,286 million from Ps.6,152 million in the prior year.

As a result, Total Play’s EBITDA was Ps.5,074 million, compared to Ps.5,399 million a year ago; EBITDA margin for the quarter was 45%. The company reported operating profit of Ps.654 million, up from Ps.495 million a year earlier.

Total Play reported a net loss of Ps.362 million, compared to a net income of Ps.180 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Revenue from services 

The company’s revenue decreased 2%, as a result of 1% growth in residential segment sales and a 16% reduction in enterprise revenue.

Totalplay Residential’s revenue increased to Ps.9,983 million, up from Ps.9,906 million the previous year, linked to a 6% increase in the number of the company’s service subscribers compared to the same quarter of the previous year, reaching 5,675,946 this period — a figure that includes 68,314 small and medium-sized businesses. Compared to the previous quarter, the subscriber base increased by 121,572 users. The company believes that the number of users achieved this quarter reflects its remarkable ability to offer technologically advanced internet services — with superior stability and speed — continuous innovation in its entertainment platform, and service excellence.

Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) for the quarter was Ps.580, down from Ps.607 a year ago. The decline in ARPU is largely due to a growing proportion of double-play subscribers compared to triple-play users within the total residential subscriber base.

The number of homes passed by Total Play in Mexico at the end of this period was 19.5 million, up from 17.6 million a year ago.

Penetration — the proportion of homes passed by Total Play that have the company’s telecommunications services — was 29.1% at the end of the quarter, compared to 30.4% a year ago.

Revenue from the enterprise segment was Ps.1,377 million, from Ps.1,645 million in the previous year. The reduction is due to predetermined duration projects that were completed during this period.

Costs and expenses 

Total costs and expenses increased 2%, as a result of a 3% increase in service costs and a 2% increase in general expenses.

The increase in costs, to Ps.1,677 million, from Ps.1,630 million in the previous year, resulted mainly from higher costs related to memberships, maintenance and support, partially offset by lower costs related to business projects and reduced content costs, as a result of a higher proportion of double play users in the residential service subscriber mix.

The increase in expenses, to Ps.4,609 million, from Ps.4,522 million, reflects higher personnel, advertising and promotion expenses during the period.

EBITDA and net result 

Total Play’s EBITDA was Ps.5,074 million, compared to Ps.5,399 million the previous year.

Relevant variations below EBITDA were the following:

A reduction of Ps.484 million in depreciation and amortization, as a result of the termination of the useful life of a group of assets.

A decrease of Ps.1,219 million in exchange gains, as a result of a net liability monetary position in foreign currency, in conjunction with a lower appreciation of the peso against the basket of currencies in which the company’s monetary liabilities are denominated this quarter, compared to the previous year.

Consistent with the results of the quarter, there was a decrease of Ps.534 million in the tax provision for the period.

Total Play reported a net loss of Ps.362 million, compared to a net income of Ps.180 million in the same period of 2025.

Balance sheet

As of June 30, 2026, the company’s debt with cost was Ps.54,194 million, 5% lower than the Ps.57,030 million of the previous year. This reduction resulted from various debt with cost amortizations during the period, including US$31 million of Senior Secured Notes due 2028, paid in the first half of the year, and US$56 million of the remaining Senior Notes due 2025, paid in November of the previous year.

Lease liabilities were Ps.2,595 million, 26% lower compared to Ps.3,503 million in the previous year.

Cash and cash equivalents, as well as restricted cash in trusts, totaled Ps.6,270 million, from Ps.7,416 million a year ago. As a result, the company’s net debt was Ps.50,519 million, 5% lower compared to Ps.53,117 million in the previous year.

The debt ratio — Net Debt / EBITDA of the last two quarters annualized — was 2.55 times.

Total Play’s fixed assets — which include accumulated investment in fiber optics, telecommunications equipment and subscriber acquisition costs, among other assets — were Ps.78,001 million, compared to Ps.84,216 million a year ago.

Six-month results

Revenue for the first six months of 2026 was Ps.22,537 million, 1% higher than Ps.22,393 million of the previous year, as a result of a 2% increase in residential revenue and a 7% decrease in enterprise revenue. Total costs and expenses grew 6% to Ps.12,614 million, from Ps.11,912 million, driven by a 7% increase in general expenses and a 4% increase in service costs.

Total Play reported EBITDA of Ps.9,923 million, compared to Ps.10,481 million in the previous year; EBITDA margin for the period was 44%. Operating profit was Ps.954 million, down from Ps.1,257 million in the same period of 2025.

The company recorded net loss of Ps.1,689 million, compared to net loss of Ps.1,781 million a year ago.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

To learn more about HumanView, visit leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
