LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty Interactive Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, "Liberty" or the "Company" unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries in North America, Europe and Asia.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liberty considers (i) fair value measurement, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) assessments of other-than-temporary declines in fair value of its investments and (iv) estimates of retail-related adjustments and allowances to be its most significant estimates.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 but a proposal has been issued to extend the effective date to those fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its revenue recognition but does not believe that the standard will significantly impact its financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The new guidance intends to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This standard will more closely align the presentation of debt issuance costs under GAAP with the presentation under comparable International Financial Reporting Standards. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Early application is permitted. The standard requires the use of the retrospective transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

As a result of the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off (defined in note 3) and repurchases of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock, the Company’s additional paid-in capital balance was in a deficit position as of March 31, 2015. In order to maintain a zero balance in the additional paid-in capital account, we reclassified the amount of the deficit ($87 million) to retained earnings as of March 31, 2015.

Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these

I-10

Table of Contents

LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that Liberty uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC"), a separate publicly traded company, neither of which has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other, in order to govern relationships between the companies. These agreements include a Reorganization Agreement, Services Agreement, Facilities Sharing Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement.

The Reorganization Agreement provides for, among other things, provisions governing the relationship between Liberty and LMC, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, LMC provides Liberty with certain general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Liberty reimburses LMC for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by LMC in providing these services and for Liberty's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Liberty. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreement, LMC shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Liberty. Under these various agreements, approximately $3 million was reimbursable to LMC for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Additionally, the Tax Sharing Agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty and LMC and other agreements related to tax matters.

(2) Tracking Stocks

A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or "track" the economic performance of a particular business or "group," rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. Liberty has two tracking stocks—Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, which are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, respectively.

While the QVC Group and the Ventures Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group's stock or assets and are not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation.

On October 3, 2014, Liberty announced that its board of directors approved the change in attribution from the QVC Group (referred to as the “Interactive Group” prior to the reattribution) to the Ventures Group of certain of its Digital Commerce companies (defined below) and cash, which was provided by QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) as a result of a draw-down of QVC’s credit facility. In return, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock received a dividend of approximately 67.7 million shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, or 0.14217 of a Liberty Ventures share for each share of Liberty Interactive common stock outstanding on October 13, 2014, the record date of the dividend. The distribution date for the dividend was October 20, 2014, and the Liberty Interactive common stock began trading ex-dividend on October 15, 2014. The reattributed Digital Commerce companies were comprised of Liberty’s consolidated subsidiaries Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Provide Commerce, Inc. (“Provide”), CommerceHub, Evite, Inc. and LMC Right Start, Inc. (collectively, the “Digital Commerce” companies). The reattribution of the Digital Commerce companies is presented on a prospective basis from the date of the reattribution in Liberty’s condensed consolidated financial statements and attributed financial information, with October 1, 2014 used as a proxy for the date of the reattribution. In connection with the reattribution, the Liberty Interactive tracking stock trading symbol “LINTA” was changed to "QVCA" and the "LINTB" trading symbol was changed to "QVCB," effective October 7, 2014. Other than the issuance of Liberty Ventures shares in the fourth quarter of 2014, the reattribution of tracking stock groups had no consolidated impact on Liberty.

Provide was included in the Digital Commerce companies prior to the sale of Provide to FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”) on December 31, 2014 in exchange for cash and shares of FTD common stock representing approximately 35% of the combined company (see note 8 for additional information related to this transaction). Subsequent to this transaction,

I-11

Table of Contents

LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

the Company’s interest in FTD, accounted for under the equity method, is included in the Digital Commerce companies. Given Liberty’s significant continuing involvement with FTD, Provide is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The term "QVC Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. Following the reattribution, the QVC Group is primarily comprised of our merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs, Internet and mobile application businesses and has attributed to it our wholly-owned subsidiary QVC and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities that reside with QVC as well as certain liabilities related to our corporate indebtedness (see note 10) and certain deferred tax liabilities. As of March 31, 2015, the QVC Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $530 million, which includes subsidiary cash.

The term "Ventures Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. Following the reattribution, the Ventures Group is primarily comprised of our Digital Commerce businesses and interests in Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and LendingTree, Inc., available-for-sale securities in Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc., as well as cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,820 million at March 31, 2015. The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our Exchangeable Debentures (see note 10) and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group is primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities.

See Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for unaudited attributed financial information for Liberty's tracking stock groups.

(3) Discontinued Operations

On August 27, 2014, Liberty completed the spin-off to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“TripAdvisor Holdings”) (the “TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off”). TripAdvisor Holdings is comprised of Liberty’s former 22% economic and 57% voting interest in TripAdvisor, Inc. as well as BuySeasons, Inc., Liberty’s former wholly-owned subsidiary, and a corporate level net debt balance of $350 million. In connection with the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off during August 2014, TripAdvisor Holdings drew down $400 million in margin loans and distributed approximately $350 million to Liberty. This transaction has been recorded at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution. Following the completion of the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off, Liberty and TripAdvisor Holdings operate as separate, publicly traded companies, and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. The condensed consolidated financial statements of Liberty have been prepared to reflect TripAdvisor Holdings as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows of the businesses, assets and liabilities owned by TripAdvisor Holdings at the time of the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off have been excluded from the respective captions in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows in such condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, TripAdvisor, Inc. and BuySeasons, Inc. are no longer reflected in the segment financial information for all periods presented.

In connection with the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-off, Liberty and TripAdvisor Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement (the “Tax Sharing Agreement”). The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty and TripAdvisor Holdings and other agreements related to tax matters. Among other things, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, TripAdvisor Holdings has agreed to indemnify Liberty, subject to certain limited exceptions, for losses and taxes resulting from the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off to the extent such losses or taxes result primarily from, individually or in the aggregate, the breach of certain restrictive covenants made by TripAdvisor Holdings (applicable to actions or failures to act by TripAdvisor Holdings and its subsidiaries following the completion of the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off).

The assets and liabilities included in the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off, and their resulting impacts on the attributed statements of operations, were included in discontinued operations based on which group owned the assets at the time of the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off.

(4) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award (such as SARs that will be settled in cash) based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are $15 million and $25 million of stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Liberty granted 1.9 million options to QVC employees to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock. Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $11.92 per share and vest semi-annually over 4 years.

Also during the three months ended March 31, 2015, Liberty granted to Liberty employees 1.1 million and 308 thousand options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock and Series A Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively. Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.20 and $17.65 per share, respectively, and each grant contains options that vest over two different periods, annually over three years and 50% on each of December 31, 2019 and 2020.

In connection with our CEO’s employment agreement, Liberty also granted 132 thousand and 135 thousand performance-based options of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively, and 182 thousand and 13 thousand performance-based restricted stock units of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively. Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $10.10 per share and $17.16 per share, respectively. The restricted stock units had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $29.41 per share and $42.33 per share, respectively. The options and restricted stock units cliff vest in one year, subject to satisfaction of certain performance objectives.

The Company has calculated the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified Awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified Awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty's stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

As of March 31, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Awards was approximately $107 million, including compensation associated with the option exchange that occurred in December 2012. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

Other

Certain of the Company's other subsidiaries have stock based compensation plans under which employees and non-employees are granted options or similar stock based awards. Awards made under these plans vest and become exercisable over various terms. The awards and compensation recorded, if any, under these plans is not significant to Liberty.

(5) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented.

As discussed in note 11, Liberty completed a two for one stock split on April 11, 2014 on its Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. Therefore, all prior period outstanding share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for comparability. Excluded from diluted EPS, for all periods presented, are less than a million potential common shares because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

(6) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:


	Fair Value Measurements at				Fair Value Measurements at
	March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014

			prices			prices

Debt	$	2,502	—	2,502	2,574	—	2,574

The majority of the Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are debt instruments with quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2015		2014
	amounts in millions
Fair Value Option Securities	$	(17)	(10)
Exchangeable senior debentures		13	(15)
	$	(4)	(25)

(7) Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities and Other Cost Investments

All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, such as AFS securities, and certain other items at fair value and to recognize the changes in fair value of such instruments in the entity's statement of operations (the "fair value option"). In prior years, Liberty has historically entered into economic hedges for certain of its non-strategic AFS securities (although such instruments were not accounted for as fair value hedges by the Company). Changes in the fair value of these economic hedges were reflected in Liberty's statements of operations as unrealized gains (losses). In order to better match the changes in fair value of the subject AFS securities and the changes in fair value of the corresponding economic hedges in the Company's financial statements, Liberty elected the fair value option for those of its AFS securities which it considered to be non-strategic ("Fair Value Option Securities"). Accordingly, changes in the fair value of Fair Value Option Securities, as determined by quoted market prices, are reported in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As further discussed in note 10, HSN, Inc. (“HSNi”) declared a special dividend during January 2015 of $10 per share from which Liberty received approximately $200 million in cash during February 2015. Accordingly, the carrying amount of Liberty’s investment in HSNi was reduced by this return of our investment during the period.

("FTD") of Provide, which was one of Liberty’s wholly-owned Digital Commerce businesses (as defined in note 2). Under the terms of the transaction, Liberty received approximately 10.2 million shares of FTD common stock representing approximately 35% of the combined company and approximately $145 million in cash (the “FTD Transaction”). Subsequent to completion of the transaction, Liberty accounts for FTD as an equity-method affiliate based on the ownership level and board representation.

QVC Senior Secured Notes

QVC was in compliance with all of its debt covenants related to its outstanding senior secured notes at March 31, 2015.

QVC Bank Credit Facilities

On March 9, 2015, QVC entered into a second amended and restated senior secured credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which is a multi-currency facility that provides for a $2.25 billion revolving credit facility with a $250 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit and $1.5 billion of uncommitted incremental revolving loan commitments or incremental term loans. QVC may elect that the loans extended under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR Rate or LIBOR, as each is defined in the senior secured credit facility agreement, plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.75% depending on various factors. Each loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty other than customary breakage costs. Any amounts prepaid on the revolving facility may

I-20

Table of Contents

LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

be reborrowed. Payment of the loans may be accelerated following certain customary events of default. The senior secured credit facility is secured by the capital stock of QVC. The purpose of the amendment was to, among other things, extend the maturity of QVC’s senior secured credit facility to March 9, 2020 and lower the interest rate on borrowings.

The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the QVC Bank Credit Facilities was 1.6% at March 31, 2015. Availability under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at March 31, 2015 was $1.8 billion.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions on QVC and each of its restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on property or assets; making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends and other restricted payments; dissolving, consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale or leaseback transactions; restricting subsidiary distributions; and limiting QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio. QVC was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at March 31, 2015.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures

Liberty has elected to account for the exchangeable senior debentures using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statements of operations. Liberty reviews the terms of the debentures on a quarterly basis to determine whether a triggering event has occurred to require current classification of the exchangeables upon a call event. As of March 31, 2015 the balance of the 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029, the 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2030 and the 3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031 have been classified as current.

As discussed in note 8, HSNi declared a special dividend during January 2015 of $10 per share from which Liberty received approximately $200 million in cash during February 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2043 (the “HSNi Exchangeables”), a portion of the special dividend was passed through to the holders of the notes ($54 million) and the outstanding principal balance of the HSNi Exchangeables was reduced during March 2015. Additionally, the portion of the quarterly dividend in excess of the regular cash dividend of $0.18 per share was passed through to bondholders during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Other Subsidiary Debt

Other subsidiary debt at March 31, 2015 is comprised of capitalized satellite transponder lease obligations and bank debt of certain subsidiaries.

Fair Value of Debt

Liberty estimates the fair value of its debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rate offered to Liberty for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2). The fair value of Liberty's publicly traded debt securities that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in millions):


Senior debentures	$	884
QVC senior secured notes	$	4,151

Due to the variable rate nature, Liberty believes that the carrying amount of its other debt, not discussed above, approximated fair value at March 31, 2015.

(11) Stockholders' Equity

As of March 31, 2015, Liberty reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options approximately 25.6 million shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock, 778 thousand shares of Series B Liberty Interactive common stock, 4.1 million shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and 1.5 million shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock.

In addition to the Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive and Liberty Ventures common stock there are 4 billion shares of Series C Liberty Interactive and 200 million shares of Series C Liberty Ventures common stock authorized for issuance. As of March 31, 2015, no shares of any Series C Liberty Interactive or Liberty Ventures common stock were issued or outstanding.

On February 27, 2014, Liberty's board approved a two for one stock split of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, effected by means of a dividend. The stock split was done in order to bring Liberty into compliance with a Nasdaq listing requirement regarding the minimum number of publicly held shares of the Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. In the stock split, a dividend was paid on April 11, 2014 of one share of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to holders of each share of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively, held by them as of 5:00 pm, New York City time, on April 4, 2014. The stock split has been recorded retroactively for all periods presented for comparability purposes.

Additionally, as discussed in note 2, on October 3, 2014, Liberty attributed from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group its Digital Commerce companies. Holders of Liberty Interactive common shares received 0.14217 of a Liberty Ventures share for each share of Liberty Interactive common shares held, as of the record date. The shares issued and subsequently distributed to Liberty Interactive common stock shareholders in the form of a dividend did not require retroactive treatment.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Liberty has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible Liberty may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

(13) Information About Liberty's Operating Segments

Liberty, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries. Liberty identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of Liberty's annual pre-tax earnings.

Liberty evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, Liberty reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate.

Liberty defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Liberty believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical

I-22

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liberty generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Liberty has identified the following consolidated subsidiary as its reportable segment:

QVC - a consolidated subsidiary that markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites and mobile applications.

Additionally, for presentation purposes, Liberty is providing financial information of the Digital Commerce businesses on an aggregated basis. The consolidated Digital Commerce businesses do not contribute significantly to the overall operations of Liberty on an individual basis; however, Liberty believes that on an aggregated basis they provide relevant information for users of these financial statements. While these businesses may not meet the aggregation criteria under relevant accounting literature Liberty believes the information is relevant and helpful for a more complete understanding of the consolidated results.

Digital Commerce - the aggregation of certain consolidated subsidiaries that market and sell a wide variety of consumer products via the Internet. Categories of consumer products include perishable and personal gift offerings (Provide), active lifestyle gear and clothing (Backcountry), fitness and health goods (Bodybuilding), digital invitations (Evite) and a drop-ship solutions company (CommerceHub). Due to the FTD Transaction (discussed in note 8), the results of Provide are only included in the Company’s results through December 31, 2014.

Liberty's operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant accounting policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our business, product and marketing strategies; new service offerings; revenue growth at QVC, Inc. ("QVC"); the recoverability of our goodwill and other long-lived assets; our projected sources and uses of cash; and the anticipated impact of certain contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.

failure to protect the security of personal information, subjecting us to potentially costly government enforcement actions and/or private litigation and reputational damage;

the regulatory and competitive environment of the industries in which we operate;

threatened terrorist attacks, political unrest in international markets and ongoing military action around the world; and

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

For additional risk factors, please see Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of video and on-line commerce companies. Our largest business, which is also our principal reportable segment, is QVC. QVC markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites and mobile applications. Additionally, we own entire or majority interests in consolidated subsidiaries which operate on-line commerce businesses in a broad range of retail categories (the “Digital Commerce” businesses). The more significant of these include Backcountry.com, Inc. ("Backcountry"), Bodybuilding.com, LLC ("Bodybuilding"), Evite, Inc. ("Evite"), LMC Right Start, Inc. (“Right Start”) and CommerceHub. Backcountry operates websites offering sports gear and clothing for outdoor and active individuals in a variety of categories. Bodybuilding manages websites related to sports nutrition, body building and fitness. Evite operates websites that offer invitations. Right Start is a high-quality online and brick-and-mortar retailer of products for infants and toddlers. CommerceHub provides a Software-as-a-Service platform for online retailers and their suppliers (manufacturers, and distributors) to sell products to consumers without physically owning inventory, or managing the fulfillment of those products.

Liberty’s former wholly-owned subsidiary, Provide Commerce, Inc. (“Provide”) was included in the Digital Commerce companies prior to the sale of Provide to FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”) on December 31, 2014 in exchange for cash and shares of FTD common stock representing approximately 35% of the combined company (the “FTD Transaction”). Provide operates an e-commerce marketplace of websites for perishable goods, including flowers, fruits and desserts, as well as upscale personalized gifts. FTD is a premier floral and gifting company that provides floral, gift and related products and services to consumers, retail florists, and other retail locations and companies in need of floral and gifting solutions. Subsequent to the FTD Transaction, Liberty accounts for FTD as an equity-method affiliate based on the ownership level and board representation and FTD is included in the Digital Commerce companies. Given Liberty’s significant continuing involvement with FTD, Provide is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our "Corporate and Other" category includes our corporate ownership interests in other unconsolidated businesses and corporate expenses. We hold ownership interests in Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and LendingTree, Inc. which we account for as equity method investments; and we continue to maintain investments and related financial instruments in public companies such as Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc., which are accounted for at their respective fair market values and are included in "Corporate and Other."

As discussed in note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on August 27, 2014, Liberty completed the spin-off to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“TripAdvisor Holdings”) (the “TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off”). TripAdvisor Holdings is comprised of Liberty’s former 22% economic and 57% voting interest in TripAdvisor, Inc., as well as BuySeasons, Liberty’s former wholly-owned subsidiary, and a corporate level net debt balance of $350 million. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Liberty have been prepared to reflect TripAdvisor Holdings as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows of the businesses, assets and liabilities owned by TripAdvisor Holdings at the time of the TripAdvisor Holdings Spin-Off have been reclassified from the respective captions in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows in such condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, TripAdvisor, Inc. and BuySeasons, Inc. are no longer reflected in the segment financial information for all periods presented.

On October 3, 2014, Liberty reattributed from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group its Digital Commerce companies, which were valued at $1.5 billion, and approximately $1 billion in cash. In connection with the reattribution, each holder of Liberty Interactive common stock received 0.14217 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Ventures common stock for each share of Liberty Interactive common stock held as of the record date, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The distribution date for the dividend was October 20, 2014, and the Liberty Interactive common stock began trading ex-dividend on October 15, 2014 which resulted in an aggregate of 67.7 million shares of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock being issued. The reattribution of the Digital Commerce companies is presented on a prospective basis from the date of the reattribution in Liberty’s condensed consolidated financial statements and attributed financial information, with October 1, 2014 used as a proxy for the date of the reattribution. Other than the issuance of Liberty Ventures shares in the fourth quarter of 2014, the reattribution had no consolidated impact on Liberty.

The term "Ventures Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of March 31, 2015, the Ventures Group is comprised of the Digital Commerce companies and our interests in Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., LendingTree, Inc., investments in Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc., as well as cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $1,820 million. The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our corporate level indebtedness (see note 10 in the accompanying financial statements) and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group is primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities.

The term "QVC Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of March 31, 2015, the QVC Group is primarily focused on our video operating businesses and has attributed to it the remainder of our businesses and assets, including our operating subsidiary QVC as well as our 38% interest in HSN, Inc. and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $530 million, including subsidiary cash. The QVC Group has attributed to it liabilities that reside with QVC as well certain liabilities related to our corporate level indebtedness (see note 10 in the accompanying financial statements) and certain deferred tax liabilities.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue decreased 9.0% or $220 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Provide as a result of the FTD Transaction ($198 million) and decreased revenue at QVC ($48 million) as a result of foreign currency rate fluctuations during the period, offset slightly by growth in revenue at the remaining Digital Commerce companies. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Adjusted OIBDA. We define Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and

I-28

Table of Contents

benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes such costs as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See note 13 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA decreased 3.5% or $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The overall decline in Adjusted OIBDA was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Provide as a result of the FTD Transaction ($12 million), offset slightly by Adjusted OIBDA growth at the remaining Digital Commerce companies, a decrease at QVC of $5 million and a $3 million decrease in corporate and other. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) phantom stock appreciation rights ("PSARs") granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans and (3) amortization of restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock unit grants.

We recorded $15 million and $25 million of stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $107 million. Such amount will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

Operating income. Our consolidated operating income decreased 4.1% or $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The overall decrease in operating income was due to a decrease in operating income at QVC of $14 million, offset slightly by an improvement in corporate and other, primarily due to reduced stock-based compensation expense, discussed above. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Interest expense. Interest expense remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The slight decrease in the QVC Group interest expense is attributable to QVC's refinancing activities resulting in a lower average interest rate and the reattribution of interest expense attributable to the Digital Commerce companies from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group. The slight increase in the Ventures Group interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year is primarily due to the reattribution of the Digital Commerce companies from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group on October 1, 2014.

Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates. The following table presents our share of earnings (losses) of affiliates:

The share of loss in the other category of the Ventures Group, in all periods, is primarily related to our investments in alternative energy solution entities. These entities typically operate at a loss and because we account for these investments as equity method affiliates, we record our share of such losses. We note these entities typically have favorable tax attributes and credits which are recorded in our tax accounts.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2015		2014
	amounts in millions
Fair Value Option Securities	$	(17)	(10)
Exchangeable senior debentures		13	(15)
	$	(4)	(25)

The changes in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are due to market activity through the period on the various financial instruments that are marked to market on a periodic basis.

Other, net. Other, net for the QVC Group is primarily attributable to foreign currency gains at QVC. The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was driven by a large United Kingdom (“U.K.”) royalty prepayment to the U.S. in December 2014 which was denominated in the local currency of the U.K. Additionally, certain loans between QVC and its subsidiaries are deemed to be short-term in nature, and accordingly, the translation of these loans is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The change in foreign currency gain (loss) was also due to variances in interest and operating payables balances between QVC and its international subsidiaries denominated in the currency of the subsidiary and the effects of currency exchange rate changes on those balances.

Income taxes. We had income tax expense of $3 million and $40 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Income tax expense was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% in 2015 due to the receipt of a taxable dividend that under current U.S. tax law is subject to a dividends received deduction and to tax credits generated by our alternative energy investments. Income tax expense was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% in 2014 due to tax credits generated by our alternative energy investments.

Net earnings. We had net earnings of $152 million and $110 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The change in net earnings was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

While the QVC Group and the Ventures Group are not separate legal entities and the assets and liabilities attributed to each group remain assets and liabilities of our consolidated company, we manage the liquidity and financial resources of each group separately. Keeping in mind that assets of one group may be used to satisfy liabilities of the other group, the following discussion assumes, consistent with management expectations, that future liquidity needs of each group will be funded by the financial resources attributed to each respective group.

As of March 31, 2015, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government agencies, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by the operating activities of our privately-owned subsidiaries (to the extent such cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted such that, in the case of QVC, a leverage ratio of less than 3.25 to 1.0 must be maintained), proceeds from asset sales, monetization of our public investment portfolio, debt (including availability under the QVC Bank Credit Facility) and equity issuances, and dividend and interest receipts.

During the quarter there have been no significant changes to our corporate or subsidiary debt credit ratings.

As of March 31, 2015, Liberty's liquidity position consisted of the following:


	Cash and cash		Marketable	Available-for-Sale
	equivalents		securities	Securities
	amounts in millions
QVC	$	400	—	—
Corporate and other		130	9	4
Total QVC Group		530	9	4
Digital Commerce		15	—	—
Corporate and other		1,805	851	1,232
Total Ventures Group		1,820	851	1,232
Total Liberty	$	2,350	860	1,236

To the extent that the Company recognizes any taxable gains from the sale of assets we may incur tax expense and be required to make tax payments, thereby reducing any cash proceeds. Additionally, we have borrowing capacity of $1.8 billion under the QVC credit facility at March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, QVC had approximately $115 million of cash and cash equivalents held in foreign subsidiaries which certain tax consequences could reduce the amount of cash that would be available for domestic purposes.

Additionally, our operating businesses have generated, on average, more than $1 billion in annual cash provided by operating activities over the prior three years and we do not anticipate any significant reductions in that amount in future periods.

QVC Group

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the QVC Group uses of cash were primarily the repayment of certain debt obligations of approximately $466 million and the repurchase of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock of $123 million. Additionally, the QVC Group had approximately $31 million of capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2015. These uses of cash were funded by cash provided by operating activities, additional borrowings of debt and the receipt of approximately $200 million in cash from a special dividend declared by HSNi. Approximately $54 million in cash from the special dividend received from HSNi was passed through to the HSNi exchangeable bond holders.

The projected uses of QVC Group cash for the remainder of 2015 are the cost to service outstanding debt, approximately $190 million in interest payments on QVC and corporate level debt, anticipated capital improvement spending of approximately $175 million and the continued buyback of Liberty Interactive common stock under the approved share buyback program.

Ventures Group

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Ventures Group uses of cash were primarily the investment in cost and equity investees. These uses of cash for the Ventures Group were funded by the refinancing of certain debt obligations and the net sale of short term and other marketable securities.

The projected uses of Ventures Group cash for the remainder of 2015 are approximately $30 million in interest payments to service outstanding debt and further investments in existing or new businesses through continued acquisition activity and potential buyback of Liberty Ventures common stock under the approved share buyback program.

Consolidated

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Liberty's primary uses of cash were $642 million of repayments on outstanding debt and repurchases of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock of $123 million. These activities were funded primarily from borrowings of $531 million, cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand.

The projected uses of Liberty cash for the remainder of 2015 are the continued capital improvement spending of approximately $200 million for the remainder of the year, the repayment of certain debt obligations, approximately $220 million for interest payments on outstanding debt, the potential buyback of common stock under the approved share buyback program and additional investments in existing or new businesses. We also may be required to make net payments of income tax liabilities to settle items under discussion with tax authorities. We expect that cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities and borrowing capacity in future periods will be sufficient to fund projected uses of cash.

Results of Operations—Businesses

QVC. QVC, Inc. is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications. In the United States, QVC's live programming is distributed via its nationally televised shopping program 24 hours per day, 364 days per year ("QVC-U.S."). Internationally, QVC's program services are based in Germany ("QVC-Germany"), Japan ("QVC-Japan"), the United Kingdom ("QVC-U.K.") and Italy ("QVC-Italy"). QVC-Germany distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming, QVC-Japan distributes live programming 24 hours per day and QVC-U.K. distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming. However, as of March 9, 2015, QVC-U.K. has reduced its total live programming from 17 hours to 16 hours during the 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. hour on a trial basis. QVC-Italy distributes programming live for 17 hours per day on satellite and digital terrestrial television and an additional seven hours per day of recorded programming on satellite and seven hours per day of general interest programming on digital terrestrial television.

QVC's Japanese operations are conducted through a joint venture with Mitsui & Co., LTD ("Mitsui") for a television and multimedia retailing service in Japan. QVC-Japan is owned 60% by QVC and 40% by Mitsui. QVC and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $20 million and $25 million, respectively. These dividends are reflected as a distribution to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and stockholders’ equity.

Additionally, QVC has a joint venture with CNR Media Group, formerly known as China Broadcasting Corporation, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio (''CNR''). QVC owns a 49% interest in a CNR subsidiary, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. (''CNRS''). CNRS operates a retail business in China through a shopping television channel with an associated website. Live programming is distributed for 17 hours per day and recorded programming for seven hours per day. This joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment recorded as equity in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On April 16, 2014, QVC announced plans to expand its global presence into France. Similar to its other markets, QVC plans to offer a highly immersive digital shopping experience, with strong integration across e-commerce, TV, mobile and social platforms, with the launch expected in the summer of 2015.

Consolidated QVC	$	1,938		1,986

QVC's consolidated net revenue decreased 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease in net revenue of $48 million was primarily comprised of $97 million in unfavorable foreign currency rates in all countries, an increase in estimated product returns of $26 million primarily in the U.S. and Germany and a decrease in shipping and handling revenue of $9 million. These amounts were partially offset by $66 million due to a 2.9% increase in units sold and $22 million due to a 0.9% increase in the consolidated average selling price per unit ("ASP"). The increase in estimated product returns in the U.S. and Germany was primarily due to the sales increases including a shift in the product mix to apparel, which typically returns at a higher rate, and changes in prior period estimates based on actual experience. Germany also experienced higher return rates in the apparel category due to the introduction of new brands. As expected, shipping and handling revenue decreased in the U.S. as a result of the new shipping and handling pricing which became effective February 2, 2015 that provides for changes in standard shipping rates and a change in QVC’s shipping and handling refund policy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the changes in revenue and expenses were affected by changes in the exchange rates for the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the U.K. Pound Sterling. In the event the U.S. Dollar

continues to strengthen against these foreign currencies in the future, QVC's revenue and operating cash flow will be negatively affected.

The percentage increase (decrease) in net revenue for each of QVC's geographic areas in U.S. Dollars and in local currency was as follows:


	Three months ended
	March 31, 2015
	U.S. Dollars		Local currency
QVC-U.S.	2.8	%	2.8	%
QVC-Germany	(15.2)	%	3.1	%
QVC-Japan	(15.0)	%	(1.7)	%
QVC-U.K.	(5.5)	%	3.6	%
QVC-Italy	(9.4)	%	9.1	%

QVC-U.S.' net revenue growth was primarily due to a 3.1% increase in units shipped and a 1.4% increase in ASP, offset by the increase in estimated product returns and lower shipping and handling revenue as discussed in the above paragraph. QVC-U.S. experienced shipped sales growth in all categories except electronics. QVC-Germany's shipped sales in local currency increased primarily in home, apparel and accessories, partially offset by a decline in electronics and the increase in estimated product returns as discussed in the above paragraph. QVC-Japan's shipped sales in local currency declined in apparel, accessories and jewelry, offset to a lesser extent by increases in electronics, home and beauty. The declines in QVC-Japan's shipped sales in local currency were primarily due to the impact of the local consumption tax increase that became effective April 1, 2014. QVC-U.K.'s shipped sales growth in local currency increased primarily in beauty and jewelry, partially offset by a decline in electronics. QVC-Italy's shipped sales growth in local currency increased primarily in the beauty and apparel categories.

QVC's future net revenue growth will primarily depend on international expansion, sales growth from e-commerce and mobile platforms, additions of new customers from households already receiving QVC's television programming and increased spending from existing customers. QVC's future net revenue may also be affected by (i) the willingness of cable television and direct-to-home satellite system operators to continue carrying QVC's programming service; (ii) QVC's ability to maintain favorable channel positioning, which may become more difficult due to governmental action or from distributors converting analog customers to digital; (iii) changes in television viewing habits because of personal video recorders, video-on-demand and Internet video services; and (iv) general economic conditions.

QVC's gross profit percentage was 37.0% and 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to improved product margins in the U.S., Germany and the U.K.

QVC's operating expenses are principally comprised of commissions, order processing and customer service expenses, credit card processing fees, telecommunications expenses and production costs. Operating expenses decreased $10 million or 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, operating expenses decreased due to foreign currency exchange rate impacts of $11 million and a $1 million decrease in programming and production costs, partially offset by a $2 million increase in credit card processing fees. The decrease in programming and production costs was primarily due to fewer promotional events compared to the prior year. The increase in credit card processing fees was primarily due to the U.S. sales increase.

QVC's SG&A expenses include personnel, information technology, provision for doubtful accounts, credit card income and marketing and advertising expenses. Such expenses increased $2 million and as a percent of net revenue, from 7.0% to 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of a variety of factors.

The increase was primarily due to $15 million in personnel costs for severance, merit and benefits primarily in the U.S. and staffing for the France start-up. Additionally, there was a $1 million increase in outside consultancy services and $1 million of software expense. These amounts were partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $10 million and a $5 million increase in credit card income due to favorable economics of the Q Card portfolio in the U.S.

Digital Commerce businesses. Our Digital Commerce businesses are comprised primarily of Backcountry, Bodybuilding, Provide (through December 31, 2014, see discussion below), Evite, Right Start and CommerceHub. Revenue for the Digital Commerce businesses is seasonal due to certain holidays and seasons, which drive a significant portion of the Digital Commerce businesses' revenue. The third quarter is generally lower, as compared to the other three quarters, due to fewer holidays.

As discussed above, on October 3, 2014, Liberty reattributed from the QVC Group (formerly known as the Interactive Group prior to the reattribution) to the Ventures Group its Digital Commerce companies, which were valued at $1.5 billion, and approximately $1 billion in cash. The results of the Digital Commerce businesses are reflected in the Ventures Group prospectively from the date of the reattribution. The results of the Digital Commerce businesses below reflects the consolidated results of the Digital Commerce businesses, as included in the QVC Group for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the Ventures Group for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, due to the FTD Transaction on December 31, 2014, Provide’s results are not included in the consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In order to better understand the results of the remaining Digital Commerce businesses we have separately disclosed Provide’s prior period financial performance. Provide is not treated as a discontinued operation due to our continuing involvement in FTD.

Digital Commerce businesses - continuing. Revenue for the continuing consolidated Digital Commerce businesses increased $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in revenue was due to increases at most of our subsidiaries the most significant being Backcountry ($10 million), Bodybuilding ($10 million) and CommerceHub ($6 million). Backcountry revenue increased as a result of

I-36

Table of Contents

increased average order value on fairly flat order volume. A larger percentage of Backcountry sales came through their main websites versus the discounted flash websites. The increase in Bodybuilding revenue was primarily due to increased order volume on slightly decreased average order values. A portion of the decreased average order values for Bodybuilding was due to international sales and the foreign exchange impacts. CommerceHub revenue growth was primarily attributed to growth in active customers (vendors and suppliers) which increased the number of aggregate transactions processed through the CommerceHub platform.

Adjusted OIBDA for the continuing Digital Commerce businesses increased $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The growth in Adjusted OIBDA was primarily the result of increased revenue, as discussed above with the most noticeable increase being at Backcountry. Adjusted OIBDA represented 8.0% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to 6.8% of revenue during the same period in 2014. Most of our subsidiaries experienced flat to slightly increased Adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 which was primarily the result of improved product margins and cost containment efforts offset by increased marketing and promotional spend.

Operating income for the continuing Digital Commerce businesses increased $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the increases discussed above off set by slightly increased compensation and depreciation and amortization.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations by our subsidiaries in different foreign countries. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. As of March 31, 2015, our debt is comprised of the following amounts:


	Variable rate debt				Fixed rate debt
			Weighted				Weighted
	Principal		average		Principal		average
	amount		interest rate		amount		interest rate
	dollar amounts in millions
QVC Group
QVC	$	450	1.6	%	$	4,115	5.0	%
Corporate and other	$	—	—	%	$	1,137	6.1	%
Ventures Group
Corporate and other	$	60	2.4	%	$	2,087	2.5	%

We are exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our significant holdings in publicly traded securities. We continually monitor changes in stock markets, in general, and changes in the stock prices of our holdings, specifically. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, technological changes, specific industry changes and other factors. We periodically use equity collars and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with certain investment positions. These instruments are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models.

At March 31, 2015, the fair value of our AFS equity securities was $1,207 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at March 31, 2015, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $120.7 million lower.

I-37

Table of Contents

Our investments in Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc. and FTD Companies, Inc. are publicly traded securities and are accounted for as equity method affiliates, which are not reflected at fair value in our balance sheet. The aggregate fair value of such securities was $3,868 million at March 31, 2015 and had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at March 31, 2015, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $387 million lower. Such changes in value are not directly reflected in our statement of operations. Additionally, our exchangeable senior debentures are also subject to market risk. Because we mark these instruments to fair value each reporting date, increases in the stock price of the respective underlying security and decreases in interest rates generally result in higher liabilities and unrealized losses in our statement of operations.

Liberty is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related primarily to the monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of QVC's foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the statements of operations are generally translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the period. Accordingly, Liberty may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We periodically assess the effectiveness of our derivative financial instruments. With regard to interest rate swaps, we monitor the fair value of interest rate swaps as well as the effective interest rate the interest rate swap yields, in comparison to historical interest rate trends. We believe that any losses incurred with regard to interest rate swaps would be largely offset by the effects of interest rate movements on the underlying debt facilities. These measures allow our management to evaluate the success of our use of derivative instruments and to determine when to enter into or exit from derivative instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its chief executive officer and its principal accounting and financial officer (the "Executives"), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2015 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in more detail in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under Part II, Item 9A. Management has begun implementation of the remediation plan described in our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and updated below to address this material weakness and is monitoring that implementation.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter of 2015, we have reviewed the design of QVC’s controls, made adjustments and are in the process of implementing manual controls to initially alleviate the control deficiencies. In addition, QVC is working on implementing a new suite of products to automate and better control user access. Other than these items, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In response to the material weakness identified in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting as set forth in Part II, Item 9A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company and QVC have

I-38

Table of Contents

developed a plan with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to remediate the material weakness. The remediation efforts expected to be implemented include the following:

Establish a more comprehensive review and approval process at QVC for authorizing user access to information technology systems and monitoring user access to ensure that all information technology controls designed to restrict access to operating systems, applications and data, and the ability to make program changes, are operating in a manner that provides the Company and QVC with assurance that such access is properly restricted to the appropriate personnel.

Evaluate QVC’s staffing levels and responsibilities to provide for appropriate segregation of duties among the personnel.

Develop and implement adequate training for QVC personnel to reinforce pre-established and new information technology controls and their financial reporting objectives enabling a better understanding of the internal control environment to improve our ability to detect and prevent potential deficiencies.

Engage external experts to assess and improve financial application access rights to optimize appropriate segregation of duties and to perform a code review of relevant software applications.

Throughout the process, the Company and QVC management has been closely monitoring the implementation of these initiatives and have been making necessary changes to the overall design to ensure operational effectiveness. As described above, QVC is currently in the process of implementing a new suite of products to automate and better control user access and testing manual controls QVC has put into place. These initiatives are critical to the successful execution of management's remediation initiatives. Under the direction of the Audit Committee, the Company’s and QVC’s management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of QVC’s internal control environment to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Once fully implemented, the Company and QVC believe the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful remediation of this material weakness will require review and evidence of effectiveness prior to concluding that the controls are effective and there is no assurance that additional remediation steps will not be necessary.

Although no assurance can be given as to when the remediation plan will be completed, the Company and QVC believe the remediation efforts will be completed during the third quarter of 2015 and will test and re-evaluate the effectiveness of QVC’s information technology general controls thereafter.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share Repurchase Programs

On several occasions our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program for our Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock. On each of May 5, 2006, November 3, 2006 and October 30, 2007 our board authorized the repurchase of $1 billion of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock for a total of $3 billion.

On February 22, 2012 the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $700 million of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock. Additionally, on each of October 30, 2012 and February 27, 2014, the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $1 billion of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock.
