Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | Basis of Presentation QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company" and "QVC" refer to QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) 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. QVC is comprised of the reportable segments of QxH, which is comprised of QVC-U.S. and HSN, Inc. ("HSN"), and QVC-International. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations. In the United States ("U.S."), QVC's televised shopping programs, including live and recorded content, are distributed across multiple channels nationally on a full-time basis, including QVC, QVC2, QVC3, HSN and HSN2. The Company's U.S. programming is also available on QVC.com and HSN.com, which we refer to as our "U.S. websites"; virtual multichannel video programming distributors (including Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV); applications via streaming video; Facebook Live, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Xfinity Flex and Samsung TV Plus; mobile applications; social media pages and over-the-air broadcasters. QVC's digital platforms enable consumers to purchase goods offered on our televised programming, along with a wide assortment of products that are available only on our U.S. websites and our other digital platforms (including our mobile applications, social media pages and others) are natural extensions of our business model, allowing customers to engage in our shopping experience wherever they are, with live or on-demand content customized to the device they are using. In addition to offering video content, our U.S. websites allow shoppers to browse, research, compare and perform targeted searches for products, read customer reviews, control the order-entry process and conveniently access their account. Internationally, QVC's televised shopping programs, including live and recorded content, are distributed to households outside of the U.S., primarily in Germany, Austria, Japan, the United Kingdom ("U.K."), the Republic of Ireland, and Italy. In some of the countries where QVC operates, QVC's televised shopping programs are distributed across multiple QVC channels: QVC Style and QVC2 in Germany and QVC Beauty, QVC Extra and QVC Style in the U.K. Similar to the U.S., our international businesses also engage customers via websites, mobile applications and social media pages. QVC's international business employs product sourcing teams who select products tailored to the interests of each local market. The Company's Japanese operations ("QVC-Japan") are conducted through a joint venture with Mitsui & Co. LTD ("Mitsui"). QVC-Japan is owned 60% by the Company and 40% by Mitsui. The Company and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $22 million and $24 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail, Inc. ("Qurate Retail") (Nasdaq: QRTEA, QRTEB and QRTEP), which owns Cornerstone Brands, Inc. ("CBI"), as well as other minority investments. QVC is part of the Qurate Retail Group, a portfolio of brands including QVC and CBI. Zulily, LLC (“Zulily”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Qurate Retail until its divestiture on May 24, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, QVC and Zulily engaged in multiple transactions relating to sales, sourcing of merchandise, marketing initiatives and business advisory services. Prior to Qurate Retail's divestiture of Zulily, QVC allocated expenses of $3 million to Zulily and Zulily allocated expenses of $2 million to QVC for the six months ended June 30, 2023. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, QVC and CBI engaged in multiple transactions relating to personnel and business advisory services. QVC allocated expenses of $14 million and $13 million to CBI for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. CBI allocated expenses of $1 million to QVC for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. On December 30, 2020, the Company and Liberty Interactive LLC ("LIC") completed an internal realignment of the Company's global finance structure that resulted in a common control transaction with Qurate Retail. As part of the common control transaction, LIC issued a promissory note (“LIC Note”) to a subsidiary of the Company with an initial face amount of $1.8 billion, a stated interest rate of 0.48% and a maturity of December 29, 2029. Interest on the LIC Note is paid annually. QVC recorded $4 million of related party interest income for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, included in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QVC, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, 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 ("U.S. 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 U.S. 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. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in QVC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent 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. Estimates include, but are not limited to, sales returns, uncollectible receivables, inventory obsolescence, depreciable lives of fixed assets and internally developed software, valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and income taxes. |

The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be borrowed by any Borrower, with each Borrower jointly and severally liable for the outstanding borrowings. Borrowings bear interest at either the alternate base rate (“ABR Rate”) or a London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")-based rate (or the applicable non-U.S. Dollar equivalent rate) (“Term Benchmark/RFR Rate”) at the applicable Borrower’s election in each case plus a margin. Borrowings that are ABR Rate loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the base rate plus a margin that varies between 0.25% and 0.625% depending on the Borrowers’ combined ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “consolidated leverage ratio”). Borrowings that are Term Benchmark/RFR Rate loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable rate plus a margin that varies between 1.25% and 1.625% depending on the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio. Each loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without penalty other than customary breakage costs. No mandatory prepayments will be required other than when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed availability; provided that, if CBI, QVC Global or any other borrower (other than QVC) is removed, at the election of QVC, as a borrower thereunder, all of its loans must be repaid and its letters of credit are terminated or cash collateralized. Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed. The facility matures on October 27, 2026. Payment of loans may be accelerated following certain customary events of default. In connection with Qurate Retail's divestiture of Zulily (see note 1), Zulily is no longer a co-borrower in the senior secured credit facility, and Zulily repaid its outstanding borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement using cash contributed from Qurate Retail. On June 20, 2023, QVC, QVC Global and CBI, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto entered into an agreement whereby, in accordance with the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, LIBOR-based rate loans denominated in U.S. dollars made on or after June 30, 2023 would be replaced with Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based rate loans. Borrowings that are SOFR-based loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate, plus a credit spread adjustment, plus a margin that varies between 1.25% and 1.625% depending on the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio. In accordance with the accounting guidance for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, QVC will record a liability for amounts it has borrowed under the senior secured credit facility plus any additional amount it expects to repay on behalf of CBI. There were no borrowings by CBI outstanding on the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Prior to the removal of Zulily as a co-borrower, QVC recorded a liability for amounts it expected to repay on behalf of Zulily as part of a common control transaction with Qurate Retail. Upon repayment of Zulily's outstanding borrowings, QVC removed a $57 million liability for Zulily's borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was treated as additional paid in capital in the condensed consolidated statement of equity. Availability under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at June 30, 2024 was $1.86 billion. The interest rate on the senior secured credit facility was 6.9% and 6.6% at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The payment and performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of QVC’s, QVC Global’s and CBI’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), if any, and certain other subsidiaries of any Borrower that such Borrower has chosen to provide guarantees. Further, the borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured, pari passu with QVC’s existing notes, by a pledge of all of QVC’s equity interests. The borrowings under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are also secured by a pledge of all of CBI’s equity interests. The Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the Borrowers and each of their respective 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 the Borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio. Other Debt Related Information There are no restrictions under the debt agreements on QVC's ability to pay dividends or make other restricted payments if QVC is not in default on its senior secured notes or the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and (i) with respect to QVC’s senior secured notes, QVC's consolidated leverage ratio would be no greater than 3.5 to 1.0 (“senior secured notes leverage basket”) and (ii) with respect to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the consolidated net leverage ratio for QVC, QVC Global and CBI, would be no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2024, QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under QVC’s senior secured notes) was greater than 3.5 to 1.0 and as a result QVC is restricted in its ability to make dividends or other restricted payments under the senior secured notes. Although QVC will not be able to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments under the senior secured notes leverage basket, QVC will continue to be permitted to make unlimited dividends under the senior secured notes to parent entities of QVC to service the principal and interest when due in respect of indebtedness of such parent entities (so long as there is no default under the indentures governing QVC’s senior secured notes) and permitted to make certain restricted payments to Qurate Retail under an intercompany tax sharing agreement (the “Tax Agreement”) in respect of certain tax obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries. The weighted average interest rate applicable to all of the outstanding debt (excluding finance leases) prior to amortization of bond discounts and related debt issuance costs was 5.7% and 5.6% as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases of Lessee | Leases Sale-Leaseback Transactions In November 2022, QVC-International entered into agreements to sell two properties located in Germany and the U.K. to an independent third party. Under the terms of the agreements, QVC received net cash proceeds of $102 million related to its German facility and $80 million related to its U.K. facility when the sale closed in January 2023. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into agreements to lease each of the properties back from the purchaser over an initial term of 20 years with the option to extend the terms of the property leases for up to four consecutive terms of five years. QVC recognized a $69 million and $44 million gain related to the successful sale leaseback of the German and U.K. properties, respectively, during the first quarter of 2023 calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the carrying value of the properties. The Company accounted for the leases as operating leases and recorded a $42 million and $32 million right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for the German and U.K. properties, respectively. In December 2023, QVC entered into an agreement to sell an owned and operated property in Germany to an independent third party. This property was owned as of December 31, 2023, and is included in assets held for sale noncurrent in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the terms of the agreement, QVC received net cash proceeds of $6 million related to its German facility when the sale closed in February 2024. QVC recognized a $1 million gain related to the sale during the first quarter of 2024, calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the carrying value of the property. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into an agreement to lease a portion of the property back over 2 years and recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of $1 million. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income taxes | Income Taxes The Company calculates its interim income tax provision by applying its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgments including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences as a result of differences between amounts measured and recognized in accordance with tax laws and financial accounting standards, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on the prior quarters is included in the tax expense for the current quarter. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a tax provision of $31 million and $88 million, respectively, which represented an effective tax rate of 32.0% and 28.0%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a tax provision of $63 million and $139 million, respectively, which represented an effective tax rate of 33.0% and 27.8%, respectively. The 2024 effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state and foreign tax expense and permanent items. The 2023 effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state and foreign tax expense and permanent items and includes a reversal of tax expense accrued in prior periods related to the settlement of state income tax reserves, resulting in a reduction to the rate. The Company participates in a consolidated federal return filing with Qurate Retail. As of June 30, 2024, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its examination of the Company's tax years through 2021. The Company's 2022, 2023 and 2024 tax years are being examined currently as part of the Qurate Retail consolidated return under the IRS's Compliance Assurance Process program. The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was under examination in Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, Utah, New York City and Germany. The Company is a party to the Tax Agreement with Qurate Retail. The Tax Agreement establishes the methodology for the calculation and payment of income taxes in connection with the consolidation of the Company with Qurate Retail for income tax purposes. Generally, the Tax Agreement provides that the Company will pay Qurate Retail an amount equal to the tax liability, if any, that it would have if it were to file as a consolidated group separate and apart from Qurate Retail, with exceptions for the treatment and timing of certain items, including but not limited to deferred intercompany transactions, credits, and net operating and capital losses. To the extent that the separate company tax expense is different from the payment terms of the Tax Agreement, the difference is recorded as either a dividend or capital contribution. The amounts of the tax-related payable due to Qurate Retail as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $55 million and $59 million, respectively, and were included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible the Company 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 the amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Network and information systems, including the Internet and telecommunication systems, third party delivery services and other technologies are critical to QVC's business activities. Substantially all of QVC's customer orders, fulfillment and delivery services are dependent upon the use of network and information systems, including the use of third party telecommunication and delivery service providers. If information systems including the Internet or telecommunication services are disrupted, or if the third party delivery services experience a disruption in their transportation delivery services, the Company could face a significant disruption in fulfilling QVC's customer orders and shipment of QVC's products. The Company has active disaster recovery programs in place to help mitigate risks associated with these critical business activities. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value disclosures | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements For assets and liabilities required to be reported or disclosed at fair value, U.S. 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, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company measures the fair value of money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Money market funds are included as cash equivalents Level 1 fair value instruments in the table below. The 2067 Notes (ticker: QVCD) and the 2068 Notes (ticker: QVCC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which the Company considers to be an "active market," as defined by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these Notes are measured based on quoted prices in an active market and included as Level 1 fair value instruments in the table below. The remainder of the Company's debt instruments and derivative instruments are considered Level 2 fair value instruments and measured based on quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets." Accordingly, these financial instruments are reported in the below tables as Level 2 fair value instruments. The Company's assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value were as follows: Fair value measurements at June 30, 2024 using (in millions) Total Quoted prices Significant Significant Current assets: Cash equivalents $ 60 60 — — Current liabilities: Debt (note 4) 576 — 576 — Long-term liabilities: Debt (note 4) 2,859 367 2,492 — Fair value measurements at December 31, 2023 using (in millions) Total Quoted prices Significant Significant Current assets: Cash equivalents $ 41 41 — — Current liabilities: Debt (note 4) 420 — 420 — Long-term liabilities: Debt (note 4) 2,950 328 2,622 — Foreign Currency Forward Contracts On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $167 million to mitigate the foreign currency risk associated with the sale and leaseback of the Germany and U.K. properties. The forwards did not qualify as a cash flow hedge under U.S. GAAP. Changes in the fair value of the forwards are reflected in losses on financial instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The contract expired in January 2023 which resulted in a net cash settlement of $12 million. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment reporting disclosure | Information about QVC's Operating Segments The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company's Chief Executive Officer who has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. QVC's CODM determines, in particular, resource allocation for, and monitors performance of, the consolidated enterprise, QxH, and QVC-International. The segment managers have responsibility for operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance within their respective segments. QVC's CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes enterprise results and segment results to the Adjusted OIBDA level (see below). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, QVC identified QxH and QVC-International as its two reportable segments. Both operating segments are retailers of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs as well as via the Internet and mobile applications in certain markets. Performance measures The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as net revenue, Adjusted OIBDA (defined below), gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per customer. For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA, as net revenue less cost of goods sold (excluding fire related costs, net of recoveries and Rocky Mount inventory losses, see note 10), operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation, penalties and restructuring costs). The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its segments by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each segment's performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking among the Company's businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, gains on sale of assets and sale leaseback transactions, restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of recoveries, Rocky Mount inventory losses and stock-based compensation that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. Disaggregated revenue by segment and product category consisted of the following: Three months ended June 30, 2024 Six months ended June 30, 2024 (in millions) QxH QVC-International Total QxH QVC-International Total Home $ 596 221 817 1,185 458 1,643 Apparel 328 105 433 610 213 823 Beauty 239 141 380 478 270 748 Accessories 212 53 265 413 101 514 Jewelry 73 39 112 153 72 225 Electronics 73 16 89 181 31 212 Other revenue 37 1 38 77 3 80 Total net revenue $ 1,558 576 2,134 3,097 1,148 4,245 Three months ended June 30, 2023 Six months ended June 30, 2023 (in millions) QxH QVC-International Total QxH QVC-International Total Home $ 602 244 846 1,237 481 1,718 Apparel 340 111 451 635 224 859 Beauty 264 143 407 510 276 786 Accessories 223 56 279 415 107 522 Jewelry 65 35 100 142 74 216 Electronics 82 15 97 192 32 224 Other revenue 42 2 44 88 4 92 Total net revenue $ 1,618 606 2,224 3,219 1,198 4,417 Adjusted OIBDA is summarized as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 (in millions) Net Adjusted Net Adjusted Net Adjusted Net Adjusted QxH $ 1,558 194 1,618 185 3,097 379 3,219 324 QVC-International 576 77 606 77 1,148 152 1,198 149 Consolidated QVC $ 2,134 271 2,224 262 4,245 531 4,417 473 Other information Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 (in millions) Depreciation Amortization Depreciation Amortization Depreciation Amortization Depreciation Amortization QxH $ 13 63 14 67 27 130 29 130 QVC-International 6 6 8 5 12 11 16 8 Consolidated QVC $ 19 69 22 72 39 141 45 138 June 30, 2024 (in millions) Total Capital Property and equipment, net QxH $ 9,493 61 252 QVC-International 1,748 20 146 Consolidated QVC $ 11,241 81 398 The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to operating income and income before income taxes: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (in millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Adjusted OIBDA $ 271 262 531 473 Gains on sales of assets and sale leaseback transactions — 6 1 119 Restructuring, penalties and fire related (costs), net of recoveries (including Rocky Mount inventory losses) (18) 211 (18) 215 Stock-based compensation (2) (11) (14) (20) Depreciation and amortization (88) (94) (180) (183) Operating income 163 374 320 604 Losses on financial instruments — — — (1) Interest expense, net (67) (67) (129) (104) Foreign currency gain (loss) 1 (3) — (9) Gain on extinguishment of debt — 10 — 10 Income before income taxes $ 97 314 191 500 |

Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both, Disclosure | Restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) Fire at Rocky Mount Fulfillment Center On December 18, 2021, QVC experienced a fire at its Rocky Mount fulfillment center in North Carolina. Rocky Mount was the Company’s second-largest fulfillment center for QxH and the Company’s primary returns center for hard goods. The Company maintains property, general liability and business interruption insurance coverage. In June 2023, the Company agreed to a final insurance settlement with its insurance company and received all remaining proceeds related to the Rocky Mount claim. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received $225 million and $280 million of insurance proceeds, of which $210 million represented recoveries for business interruption losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $16 million and $27 million of fire related costs, respectively, and recognized net gains of $209 million and $213 million, respectively, representing proceeds received in excess of recoverable losses in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In February 2023, QVC sold the Rocky Mount fulfillment center to an independent third party and received cash proceeds of $2 million and $17 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. QVC recognized gains on the sale of $2 million and $15 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration received and the carrying value of the property. The gain is included in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Restructuring On June 27, 2022, Qurate Retail announced a five-point turnaround plan designed to stabilize and differentiate its core HSN and QVC-U.S. businesses and expand the Company's leadership in video streaming commerce (“Project Athens”). Project Athens main initiatives include: (i) improve customer experience and grow relationships; (ii) rigorously execute core processes; (iii) lower cost to serve; (iv) optimize the brand portfolio; and (v) build new high growth businesses. During 2022, QVC commenced the first phase of Project Athens, including actions to reduce inventory and a planned workforce reduction that was completed in February 2023. QVC recorded restructuring charges of $13 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These initiatives are consistent with QVC’s strategy to operate more efficiently as it implements its turnaround plan. During the second quarter of 2024, QVC entered into an agreement and announced a plan to shift its global operating model for information technology services to a managed services model. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 QVC recorded restructuring charges of $18 million in restructuring, penalties and fire related costs, net of (recoveries) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
