“QVC generated strong results across the board with local currency growth in all consolidated markets. The expansion in mobile orders continues at a rapid pace, comprising 49% of total eCommerce orders worldwide. From May 1 through July 31, we repurchased $348 million of QVCA shares, fully utilizing the funds distributed in conjunction with the Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings spin-off,” stated Greg Maffei, Liberty Interactive President and CEO. “Attributed to Liberty Ventures, we agreed to invest up to $2.4 billion in Liberty Broadband as part of Charter’s transaction with Time Warner Cable, and the successful sale of Backcountry.com was completed on June 30 for total consideration of approximately $350 million.”
QVC GROUP – Excluding the pre-reattribution impact of the Digital Commerce companies (see reconciling schedule 1), in the second quarter, QVC Group's revenue decreased 1% to $2.0 billion, adjusted OIBDA increased 3% to $445 million, operating income increased 5% to $284 million, adjusted net income(3) increased 3% to $161 million and net income increased 7% to $112 million.
QVC
QVC's consolidated revenue decreased 1% in the second quarter to $2.0 billion. Adjusted OIBDA increased 2% to $449 million and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 67 basis points. Operating income increased 4% to $294 million. Consolidated eCommerce revenue increased 9% to $848 million and grew to 42% from 39% of consolidated revenue. Mobile orders were 49% of total eCommerce orders in the quarter, compared to 40% a year ago.
US Dollar denominated results were negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations in the second quarter. The US Dollar strengthened against the Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound Sterling 19%, 16% and 9%, respectively. On a constant currency basis, consolidated revenue increased 5% and adjusted OIBDA increased 7% compared to a 1% decline and 2% increase in US Dollars, respectively.
"We delivered a terrific quarter with strong and balanced results across markets, platforms, product categories and customer segments,” said QVC President and CEO Mike George. “We generated local currency revenue growth and adjusted OIBDA improvement in every one of our consolidated markets. Our eCommerce growth accelerated significantly and we continued to extend our mobile penetration. We produced strong margin expansion despite investing in new shipping and handling policies in the US and start-up expenses associated with the launch of QVC France. Our overall customer base and our new customer additions increased at some of the strongest rates in years. Our strong quarter reflects our disciplined execution of strategies aimed at extending our leading global video and eCommerce position.”
US revenue increased 4% to $1.4 billion in the second quarter. Units sold increased 4%, average selling price per unit increased 3% to $58.51 and returns as a percentage of gross product revenue were virtually flat. The US experienced growth in all categories except electronics. eCommerce revenue increased 11% to $655 million and grew to 47% from 43% of total US revenue. Despite the business’ investment in new shipping and handling policies, adjusted OIBDA increased 7% to $349 million and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 78 basis points to 24.8%. These gains were primarily due to improved product margins, higher credit card income and lower bad debt and marketing expenses, which were partially offset by lower shipping and handling revenue.
QVC's international revenue decreased 11% to $592 million, adjusted OIBDA decreased 12% to $100 million and adjusted OIBDA margin declined 33 basis points in the second quarter, reflecting the aforementioned unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, international revenue increased 6% and adjusted OIBDA increased 5%. QVC France launched its TV broadcast on August 1, 2015. The second quarter included $6 million of costs related to the launch of QVC France. Excluding the costs related to QVC France, international adjusted OIBDA increased 9% on a constant currency basis in the quarter.
QVC Germany's revenue in local currency increased 4% in the second quarter. Sales increased in local currency in every category except electronics. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 10%, and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency grew 88 basis points primarily due to customer service and warehouse efficiencies and lower bad debt expense, which were partially offset by higher marketing expenses.
QVC Japan's revenue in local currency increased 6% in the second quarter. QVC Japan experienced sales gains in local currency primarily in home, jewelry and beauty, which were partially offset by a decline primarily in apparel. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 2%. Adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency decreased 74 basis points primarily due to higher information technology, commission and marketing costs, which were partially offset by customer service efficiencies.
QVC UK's revenue increased 7% in local currency in the second quarter. Sales increased in local currency primarily in home and jewelry, which were partially offset by a decline in beauty. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 16% and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency increased 164 basis points primarily due to fixed cost leverage, which was partially offset by lower product margins and unfavorable inventory obsolescence expense.
QVC Italy's revenue increased 4% in local currency in the second quarter. Sales increased in local currency primarily in beauty, apparel and accessories, which were partially offset by a decline in jewelry. Adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency decreased 8% and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency improved 44 basis points primarily due to lower freight and inventory obsolescence expense, which were partially offset by lower product margins.
CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. ("CNRS"), QVC's joint venture in China, increased local currency revenue 14% in the second quarter. CNRS' adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency increased 100% primarily due to lower product margins and higher commissions, warehouse, freight, marketing and customer service expenses as the business continues to grow its presence in this nascent market. In early July, CNRS added the strategically important Shanghai market to its
TV distribution, bringing its current reach to approximately 107 million homes. This joint venture is being accounted for as an equity method investment, and as a result, QVC reported a $3 million reduction in net income for the quarter.
QVC's outstanding debt, net of original issue discount, was $4.4 billion at June 30, 2015, down from $4.6 billion at December 31, 2014.
Share Repurchases
From May 1, 2015 through July 31, 2015, Liberty Interactive repurchased approximately 12.2 million Series A QVC Group shares (Nasdaq: QVCA) at an average cost per share of $28.39 for total cash consideration of $347.5 million. Since the creation of the QVC Group stock (including its predecessor, Liberty Interactive Group) in May 2006, Liberty Interactive has repurchased shares for aggregate cash consideration of $5.8 billion, representing approximately 38.9% of the shares outstanding at the time of the creation of the QVC Group stock. All repurchases up to August 9, 2012, the date on which the QVC Group stock was recapitalized to create the Liberty Ventures Group stock, were comprised of shares of the combined stocks. The remaining repurchase authorization as of August 1, 2015 for QVC Group stock was approximately $228 million. In addition, Liberty Interactive’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1 billion of QVC Group stock.
QVC Group consists of Liberty Interactive’s subsidiary, QVC, Inc., and Liberty Interactive’s interest in HSN, Inc.
LIBERTY VENTURES GROUP – In May 2015, Liberty Interactive announced its entry into an agreement with Liberty Broadband Corporation ("Liberty Broadband"), a separate publicly traded company, whereby Liberty Interactive will invest $2.4 billion in Liberty Broadband in connection with (and contingent upon) the closing of the proposed merger of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC"). The proceeds of this investment will be used by Liberty Broadband to fund, in part, its agreement to acquire $4.3 billion of Charter stock. Liberty Broadband's acquisition will be made in support of (and contingent upon) the closing of the Charter-TWC merger. In connection with these transactions, it is expected that Charter will undergo a corporate reorganization, resulting in New Charter, a current subsidiary of Charter, becoming the publicly traded parent company. Liberty Interactive's investment in Liberty Broadband will be funded using cash on hand and short-term investments, and will be attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group.
On June 30, 2015, Liberty Interactive closed the sale of Backcountry.com, which was attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group, for aggregate consideration of approximately $350 million, including assumption of debt, amounts held in escrow and a noncontrolling interest. Backcountry.com is included in the Digital Commerce companies through June 30, 2015.
Revenue for the continuing consolidated Digital Commerce companies (which now consist of Bodybuilding.com, CommerceHub, Evite and Right Start) increased 7% to $149 million in the second quarter. For the quarter, the increase in revenue was due to increases at most of our subsidiaries, the most significant being Bodybuilding.com ($5 million) and CommerceHub ($6 million). The increase in Bodybuilding.com revenue was primarily due to increased order volume on slightly decreased average order values. A portion of the decreased average order values for Bodybuilding.com was due to international sales and the foreign exchange impacts. CommerceHub revenue growth was primarily attributed to an acquisition during the first quarter of 2015 and 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 companies increased $2 million year-over-year in the second quarter. Adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of revenue was relatively flat, representing 12.1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to 11.5% of revenue in the second quarter of 2014.
Operating loss for the continuing Digital Commerce companies was $3 million in the second quarter as compared to a loss of $9 million in the same period in 2014.
Share Repurchases
There were no repurchases of Liberty Ventures Group common stock (Nasdaq: LVNTA) from May 1, 2015 through July 31, 2015. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Ventures Group stock as of August 1, 2015 was $650 million.
The businesses and assets attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group are all of Liberty Interactive's businesses and assets other than those attributed to the QVC Group, including its interests in Expedia, Interval Leisure, Lending Tree and FTD, its subsidiaries Bodybuilding.com, CommerceHub, The Right Start and Evite, and minority interests in Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable.

Total debt attributed to the QVC Group decreased by $45 million, primarily due to the repayment of the 7.375% notes due 2020, partially offset by increased borrowing on the QVC credit facility.
Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group increased $247 million during the second quarter, primarily due to proceeds from the Backcountry disposition, partially offset by investment in cost and equity investees.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Liberty Interactive, the QVC Group, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), and the Digital Commerce companies together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses’ operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Interactive defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding all stock based compensation, and excludes from that definition depreciation and amortization and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Further, this press release includes adjusted OIBDA margin which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Liberty Interactive defines adjusted OIBDA margin as adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.
Liberty Interactive believes adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business' ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty Interactive views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty Interactive's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.
In addition, this presentation includes references to adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for QVC Group. Liberty Interactive defines adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of purchase accounting
amortization (net of deferred tax benefit) and net income (loss) generated by the Digital Commerce companies prior to the reattribution.
Liberty Interactive believes adjusted net income is an important indicator of financial performance, in particular for QVC Group, due to the impact of purchase accounting amortization and the reattribution of the Digital Commerce companies. Because adjusted net income is used as a measure of overall financial performance, Liberty Interactive views net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted net income is not meant to replace or supersede net income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with a valuable supplemental metric of financial performance. Please see the attached schedules for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for QVC Group (Schedule 4).
SCHEDULE 1
The following table provides a reconciliation of QVC Group's adjusted OIBDA to its operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

SCHEDULE 2
The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted OIBDA for QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries) and the Digital Commerce businesses to that entity or such businesses' operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. As there are no material reconciling items between adjusted OIBDA and operating income for the QVC China joint venture for the referenced periods, no reconciliation has been provided.
