Revenue

Consolidated revenue increased by 10% in the period, as a result of a 13% growth in financial income and a 6% increase in commercial sales.

The increase in financial income — to Ps.33,243 million, from Ps.29,480 million in the previous year — largely reflects a 10% increase in Banco Azteca México's income, within the framework of continued growth in the gross credit portfolio, which boosts the well-being of millions of families and the development of businesses.

The increase in revenue from the commercial business, to Ps.24,547 million, from Ps.23,174 million a year ago, is largely due to growth in sales of motorcycles — which strengthens business productivity and the mobility of millions of people —, white goods — which boost the quality of life of a growing number of families — and telephony, which facilitates efficient connectivity for more and more users.
