During the fourth quarter of 2017 and 2016, the Group monitored the market associated with its Publishing business, which is classified into the Other Businesses segment, which has experienced a general slow-down in Latin America. Accordingly, the Group reduced its cash flow expectations for some of its foreign operations. As a result, the Group compared the fair value of the intangible assets in the reporting units with the related carrying value and recorded an aggregate pre-tax impairment charge in connection with trademarks of Ps.89,597 and Ps.6,851, respectively, in other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The key assumptions used for fair value calculations of goodwill and intangible assets in 2017 were as follows (see Note 14):

	Other Business				Cable
	Minimum		Maximum		Minimum		Maximum
Long-term growth rate	2.30	%	3.70	%	2.40	%	2.40	%
Discount rate	12.30	%	14.80	%	10.00	%	12.50	%

The key assumptions used for fair value calculations of goodwill and intangible assets in 2016 were as follows (see Note 14):

	Other Business				Cable
	Minimum		Maximum		Minimum		Maximum
Long-term growth rate	3.20	%	4.70	%	2.90	%	2.90	%
Discount rate	12.70	%	17.30	%	9.60	%	11.60	%

As described in Note 2 (k), beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s management estimated the remaining useful life of four years for acquired trademarks in specific locations of Mexico in connection with the migration to an internally developed trademark in the Group’s Cable segment. Amortization of trademarks with a finite useful life amounted to Ps.472,827 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, in both years. Assuming a useful life of four years, amortization of these trademarks in future years is estimated in the following amounts:

	Year ended December 31,
2018	Ps.	472,827
2019	321,520

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s management reviewed the useful life of certain Group’s television concessions accounted for as intangible assets in conjunction with an expected payment to be made for renewal in 2021, which amount will be determined by the IFT before the renewal date. Based on such review, the Group classified these concessions as intangible assets with a finite useful life and began to amortize the related net carrying amount of $553,505 in a period ending in 2021. Amortization of these concessions with a finite useful life amounted to Ps.110,701 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Assuming a remaining useful life of five years, amortization of these concessions in future years is estimated in the following amounts:

	Year ended December 31,
2018	Ps.	110,701
2019	110,701
2020	110,701
2021	110,701
