(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as Total Revenues minus cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and selling and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of our performance. It is commonly used to analyze and compare media companies based on operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flow from operations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, an indication of our financial performance, an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may compute Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner; therefore, Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as we report it.
(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA over Total Revenues.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
BROADCASTING AND PROGRAMMING
Revenues
Revenues decreased by 9.3% to Ps. 7,754.9 million in 9M19, compared to Ps. 8,549.1 million in 9M18. This was due to lower advertising revenues in constant pesos as of September 2019 in Channel 13 and Radio Mitre
Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Cost of sales decreased by 6.8% to Ps. 4,836.4 million in 9M19, compared to Ps. 5,186.6 million in 9M18. The decrease was mainly caused by a higher effect of restatement in salaries for 9M18 versus 9M19, which was partially offset by higher production costs.
Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 18.6% to Ps. 1,403.6 million in 9M19, compared to Ps. 1,724.9 million in 9M18. The decline was primarily the result of the greater effect of the restatement of the salaries, contingencies and marketing expenses of 9M18 versus 9M19, in order to be expressed in homogeneous currency as of September 30, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 3.4% to Ps. 305.5 million in 9M19 compared to Ps. 295.5 million reported in 9M18.
PRINTING AND PUBLISHING
Revenues
Total revenues decreased by 11.8% to Ps. 8,602.8 million in 9M19, mainly as a result of lower circulation and advertising revenues in real terms (inflation was 53.5% from 9M18 to 9M19 while circulation and advertising revenues in current pesos increased by approximately 32% and 24%, respectively).
Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Cost of sales decreased by 14.5% to Ps. 4,925.7 million in 9M19, compared to Ps. 5,760.6 million in 9M18. The decrease was mainly the result of lower salaries, printing and distribution costs caused by the greater effect of the restatement for 9M18.
Selling and Administrative Expenses (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
Selling and administrative expenses increased by 7.7% to Ps. 3,647.0 million in 9M19, compared to the Ps. 3,949.9 million reported in 9M18. This was primarily the result of lower salaries and fees for services, due to the IAS 29 (inflation) adjustment effect in 9M18.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 10.7% to Ps. 302.5 million in 9M19 compared to Ps. 338.6 million in 9M18.
DIGITAL CONTENT AND OTHERS

Additionally, this segment includes the production of digital content and the organization of trade fairs and exhibitions. Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) was mainly the result of salaries and professional consulting fees.
In this period, total revenues decreased 26.5% to Ps. 1,943.1, from Ps. 2,645.1 million reported in 9M18, due to lower sales in digital content, retail and revenues from Gestión Compartida. EBITDA resulted in Ps. (50.7) million.
