Grupo Radio Centro Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2008 Results

Mexico City, July 21, 2008 - Grupo Radio Centro, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: RC, BMV: RCENTRO-A) (the “Company”), one of Mexico’s leading radio broadcasting companies, announced today its results of operations for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2008. All figures were prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Mexican Board for Research and Development of Financial Information Standards.

Second Quarter Results

Broadcasting revenue for the second quarter 2008 was Ps. 173,613,000, representing an increase of 16.1% compared to the Ps. 149,589,000 reported in the second quarter 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to higher advertising expenditures from the Company’s clients, who purchased more airtime during the second quarter 2008 compared to the same period 2007. This was a result of a highly competitive environment, mainly in the retail sector, the Company’s efforts to gain market share with competitive sales plans and the strengthening of the Company’s sales force staff.

The Company’s broadcasting expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and corporate, general and administrative expenses) for the second quarter 2008 were Ps. 108,856,000, representing an increase of 5.0% compared to the Ps. 103,641,000 reported in the second quarter 2007. This increase was primarily due to higher sales commissions to the Company’s general sales force as a result of the increase in broadcasting revenue, as well as higher expenses related to the Company’s promotional activities, market research, and advertising during the second quarter 2008 compared to the same period 2007.

For the second quarter 2008, the Company reported broadcasting income (i.e., broadcasting revenue minus broadcasting expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and corporate, general and administrative expenses) of Ps. 64,757,000, a 40.9% increase compared to the Ps. 45,948,000 reported in the second quarter 2007. This increase in broadcasting income was mainly attributable to the aforementioned increase in broadcasting revenue.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the second quarter 2008 were Ps. 8,051,000, a 9.0% decrease compared to the Ps. 8,851,000 reported in the second quarter 2007. Depreciation and amortization expenses were lower in the second quarter 2008 due to the Company no longer recording depreciation on certain assets whose useful lives have ended.

The Company’s corporate, general and administrative expenses were Ps. 3,805,000 in the second quarter 2008, compared to the Ps. 3,834,000 reported in the second quarter 2007.

The Company reported operating income of Ps. 52,901,000 in the second quarter 2008, a 59.0% increase compared to the Ps. 33,263,000 in operating income reported in the second quarter 2007. This increase was due to increased broadcasting revenue during the second quarter 2008 compared to the second quarter2007, as described above.

Second Quarter 2008 Results

During the second quarter 2008, other expenses, net, were Ps. 12,622,000, a 32.6% increase compared to the Ps. 9,521,000 reported in the second quarter 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to higher legal expenses during the second quarter 2008 compared to the comparable period of 2007.

The Company’s comprehensive financing cost for the second quarter 2008 was Ps. 4,370,000, an increase of 69.6% compared to the Ps. 2,576,000 reported in the second quarter 2007. This unfavorable change was mainly due to fees paid in the second quarter 2008 in connection with amendments to the Company’s credit facility with GE Capital CEF México, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Banco Inbursa S.A., which was set to expire in June, 2008 and was renewed for an additional two years.

For the second quarter 2008, the Company reported income before taxes of Ps. 35,909,000, an increase of 69.7% compared to the Ps. 21,166,000 reported in the second quarter 2007, primarily from the increase in broadcasting income during the second quarter 2008, as described above.

The Company recorded income taxes of Ps. 10,469,000 in the second quarter 2008, an increase of 104.6% compared to the Ps. 5,117,000 recorded in the second quarter 2007. This increase was due to higher taxable income in the second quarter 2008 compared to the comparable period.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income for the second quarter 2008 reached Ps. 25,440,000, an increase of 58.5% compared to net income of Ps. 16,049,000 reported in the second quarter 2007.

First Half Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, broadcasting revenue was Ps. 301,871,000, representing an 8.5% increase compared to the Ps. 278,123,000 reported in the same period 2007. The increase in broadcasting revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in advertising expenditures by the Company’s clients, who purchased more airtime during the first half 2008 than the comparable period. This was the result of a highly competitive environment, mainly in the retail sector, as well as the Company’s efforts to gain market share with competitive sales plans and the strengthening of the Company’s sales force staff.

The Company’s broadcasting expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and corporate, general and administrative expenses) for the first six months of 2008 were Ps. 212,837,000, a slight decrease compared to the Ps. 213,610,000 reported in the same period 2007.

Broadcasting income (i.e., broadcasting revenue minus broadcasting expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and corporate, general and administrative expenses) for the first six months of 2008 was Ps. 89,034,000, an increase of 38.0% compared to the Ps. 64,513,000 reported in the same period 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in broadcasting revenue, as described above.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the first six months of 2008 were Ps. 15,732,000, a decrease of 11.5% compared to the Ps. 17,780,000 reported in the same period 2007. This decrease was due to the Company no longer recording depreciation on certain of the Company assets whose useful lives have ended.

The Company’s corporate, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2008 were Ps. 7,300,000, a slight increase compared to the Ps. 7,273,000 reported in the same period 2007.

This increase was mainly attributable to higher legal expenses during the second quarter 2008, as well as other expenses related to the Company’s listings on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (the Mexican stock exchange) and The New York Stock Exchange compared to the same period 2007.

The Company’s comprehensive cost of financing for the first six months of 2008 was Ps. 4,507,000, a 118.2% increase compared to the Ps. 2,066,000 reported in the same period 2007.

Amounts for the second quarter 2007 are expressed in Mexican pesos with purchasing power as of December 31, 2007. As a result of a change in MFRS for periods beginning in 2008, we have not prepared 2008 amounts using inflation accounting or re-expressed 2007 amounts as of June 30, 2008.

⁽³⁾

Broadcasting revenue for a particular period includes (as a reclassification of interest income) interest earned on funds received by the Company pursuant to advance sales of commercial air time to the extent that the underlying funds were earned by the Company during the period in question. Advances from advertisers are recognized as broadcasting revenue only when the corresponding commercial air time has been transmitted. Interest earned and treated as broadcasting revenue for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007 was Ps. 1,393,000 and Ps. 537,000, respectively. Interest earned and treated as broadcasting revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was Ps. 2,361,000 and Ps. 934,000, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾

As a result of a change in MFRS for periods beginning in 2008, we will no longer use inflation accounting unless the economic enviroment is "inflationary", as defined by MFRS. Since the economic enviroment was not inflationary in the second quarter 2008, we have not reported gain (loss) on net monetary position for this period.

⁽⁵⁾

Earnings per share calculations are made for the last twelve months as of the date of the income statement, as required by the Mexican Stock Exchange.
