Highlights (1H25 vs. 1H24):

• For the purposes of the analysis, it should be noted that the results presented in a comparative manner (1H24) include the effect of year over year inflation as of June 30, 2025, which amounted to 39.4%.

• Total Revenues reached Ps. 232,047.6 million, an increase of 29.5% in real terms compared to 1H24, mainly due to higher revenues in Digital and Printed Publications and Broadcasting and Programming segments. .

• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ reached Ps. 49,517.9 million, an increase of 908.2% compared to 4,911.4 for 1H24, mainly driven by higher EBITDA in the Digital an Printed Publications segment, mainly from school textbooks sales that had not taken place in the previous year, and higher EBITDA in the Broadcasting and Programming Segment, explained by a recovery in advertising sales during 2025.

• Grupo Clarín's Adjusted EBITDA Margin⁽²⁾ was 21.3% in 1H25, compared to 2.7% in 1H24.

• Net Income for the period resulted in Ps. 30,308.2 million, a change of -314.4% compared to a loss of Ps. 14,135.6 million reported in 1H24.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

^{(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.}
