	ORGANIZATION
	Company Overview
	HSN, Inc. (“HSNi”) is an interactive multi-channel retailer that markets and sells a wide range of third party and proprietary merchandise directly to consumers through various platforms including (i) television home shopping programming broadcast on the HSN television networks; (ii) catalogs, consisting primarily of the Cornerstone portfolio of leading print catalogs which includes Ballard Designs, Chasing Fireflies, Frontgate, Garnet Hill, Grandin Road, Improvements and TravelSmith; (iii) websites, which consist primarily of HSN.com and the eight branded websites operated by Cornerstone; (iv) mobile devices; and (v) retail and outlet stores. HSNi’s television home shopping business, related digital sales and outlet stores are referred to herein as “HSN” and all catalog operations, including related digital sales and stores, are collectively referred to herein as “Cornerstone.”
	HSN offerings primarily consist of jewelry, fashion (apparel & accessories), beauty & health, and home & other (including household, home design, electronics and culinary). Merchandise offered by Cornerstone primarily consists of home furnishings (including indoor/outdoor furniture, home décor, tabletop, textiles and other home related goods) and apparel & accessories.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of HSNi's management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with HSNi's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2013 were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but may not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Recent Accounting Developments
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). It outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual period. HSNi is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to its consolidated financial statements.
	Reclassifications
	Reclassifications were made to prior period amounts within the consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current year's presentation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Accounting Estimates
	HSNi prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of HSNi's management, the assumptions underlying these interim unaudited financial statements are reasonable.
	Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the determination of the lower of cost or market adjustment for inventory; sales returns and other revenue allowances; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the recoverability of long-lived assets; the impairment of intangible assets; the annual expected effective tax rate; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the accrual for actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims and assessments; and assumptions related to the determination of incentive compensation and contingent consideration.

Segment Information	'
	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	HSNi presents its operating segments and related financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker and executive management view the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered and/or the target market. HSNi has two operating segments, HSN and Cornerstone. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in HSNi's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	HSNi’s primary performance metric is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash charges including: (a) stock-based compensation expense, (b) amortization of intangibles, (c) depreciation and gains and losses on asset dispositions, and (d) goodwill, long-lived asset and intangible asset impairments; (2) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions; and (3) other significant items. Significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, thereby affecting the comparability of results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measurement of operating efficiency and overall financial performance and HSNi believes it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating companies in the retail and media industries. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to HSNi’s consolidated statements of operations of certain expenses, gains and losses; including stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, gains and losses on asset dispositions, asset impairment charges, acquisition-related accounting expenses and other significant items.
	The following tables reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to operating income for HSNi’s operating segments and to HSNi’s consolidated net income (in thousands):

	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	HSNi computes basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. HSNi computes diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method, which includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the potential dilution that could occur if various equity awards to issue common stock were exercised or restricted equity awards were vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in HSNi’s earnings.
	The following table presents HSNi’s basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

	On April 24, 2012, HSNi entered into a $600 million five-year syndicated credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") which is secured by 100% of the voting equity securities of HSNi's U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of HSNi's first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Certain HSNi subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed HSNi's obligations under the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement, which includes a $350 million revolving credit facility and a $250 million term loan, may be increased up to $850 million subject to certain conditions and expires April 24, 2017. HSNi capitalized $5.5 million in financing costs related to the Credit Agreement and is amortizing these costs to interest expense over the Credit Agreement's five-year term.
	The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00x and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00x. HSNi was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2014 with a leverage ratio of 0.74x and an interest coverage ratio of 56.55x. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions to third parties, repurchase or redeem our stock, make investments, sell assets, incur liens, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. Dividends, loans or advances to HSNi by its subsidiaries are not restricted by the Credit Agreement.
	Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.25%.  HSNi can elect to borrow at either LIBOR or the Base Rate and the predetermined margin is based on HSNi's leverage ratio. The term loan interest rate as of June 30, 2014 was 1.65%.  HSNi pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.40% (based on the leverage ratio) on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
	The amount available to HSNi under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, which totaled $12.5 million as of June 30, 2014. The ability to draw funds under the revolving credit facility is dependent upon meeting the aforementioned financial covenants. As of June 30, 2014, the amount that could be borrowed under the revolving credit facility, in consideration of the financial covenants and the outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $337.5 million. As of June 30, 2014, there was no outstanding balance due under the revolving credit facility.

	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
	HSNi uses derivatives in the management of its interest rate risk with respect to its variable rate debt. HSNi's strategy is to eliminate the cash flow risk on a portion of its variable rate debt caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR). Derivative instruments are not entered into for speculative purposes.
	HSNi entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement on December 20, 2012 with a notional amount of $187.5 million at a fixed rate of 0.8525%, resulting in an all-in fixed rate of 2.3525% based on HSNi's leverage ratio as of June 30, 2014. The interest rate swap took e
	ffect on January 31, 2014 with a maturity date in April 2017. Under this swap, HSNi pays at a fixed rate and receives payments at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR. The swap effectively fixes the floating LIBOR-based interest of our outstanding LIBOR-based debt. The interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge; therefore, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap will be immediately recognized directly to earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap (inclusive of reclassifications to net income) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was a loss of approximately $0.5 million for both periods, net of tax, included in other comprehensive (loss) income.
	As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $0.2 million and was recorded in "Other long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and was recorded in "Other non-current assets" in the consolidated balance sheets. HSNi estimates that approximately $1.2 million of unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to this swap will be realized and reported in earnings within the next twelve months. See Note 8 for discussion of the fair value measurements concerning this interest rate swap.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value assumptions are made at a specific point in time and changes in underlying assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. HSNi applies the following framework for measuring fair value which is based on a three-level hierarchy:
	Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The following table summarizes the fair value of HSNi's other financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

	HSNi's interest rate swap was carried on the balance sheet at fair value as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. The swap was entered into in December 2012 for the purpose of hedging the variability of interest expense and interest payments on HSNi's long-term variable rate debt. The fair value is based on a valuation model which utilizes interest rate yield curves and credit spreads as the significant inputs to the model. These inputs are observable in active markets (level 2 criteria). HSNi considers credit risk associated with its own standing as well as the credit standing of any counterparties involved in the valuation of its financial instruments.
	In connection with the 2012 acquisition of Chasing Fireflies, the purchase price included contingent consideration that is based on achieving specific annual performance targets or a cumulative three-year performance target. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach (level 3 criteria). Key inputs used in this calculation include estimates related to the operating performance over the remaining performance period and discount rates. HSNi reassessed its current estimates of performance relative to the stated targets as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and determined there was no fair value adjustment to be recorded.
	The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability is summarized as follows (in thousands):

	The fair value of the term loan was estimated by discounting expected cash flows at the rates currently offered to HSNi for debt of the same remaining maturities (level 2 criteria).
	HSNi measures certain assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value if they are deemed to be impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no assets evaluated for impairment as there were no events or changes in circumstances indicating their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

	INCOME TAXES
	HSNi calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes in interim periods. At the end of each interim period, HSNi makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that 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.
	In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of beginning-of-the-year deferred taxes in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
	The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, HSNi recorded a tax provision of $24.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively which represents effective tax rates of 37.6% and 38.4%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, HSNi recorded a tax provision of $26.4 million and $45.7 million, respectively, which represents an effective tax rate of 37.9% . The change in the year to date effective tax rate from the prior period was primarily due to the non-deductibility of the $3.1 million civil penalty accrued for the Consumer Product Safety Commission settlement. See further discussion of the settlement in Note 12-Commitments and Contingencies.
	The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has concluded its examination of HSNi's consolidated federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2010 and its limited scope examination of HSNi's consolidated federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2011. No material adjustments resulted from these IRS examinations. Various state income tax examinations are in process. HSNi does not anticipate any material adjustments to its tax liabilities resulting from any of these examinations.
	HSNi and several companies previously owned by IAC/InterActiveCorp, or IAC, were spun-off from IAC on August 20, 2008. In connection with the spin-off, HSNi entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with IAC pursuant to which, among other things, each of the companies included in the spin-off (the "Spincos") has indemnified IAC and the other Spincos for any taxes resulting from the spin-off of such Spinco (and any related interest, penalties, legal and professional fees, and all costs and damages associated with related shareholder litigation or controversies) to the extent such amounts result from (i) any act or failure to act by such Spinco described in the covenants in the Tax Sharing Agreement, (ii) any acquisition of equity securities or assets of such Spinco or a member of its group, and (iii) any breach by such Spinco or any member of its group of any representation or covenant contained in the separation documents or in the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling and/or tax opinions. In the event an adjustment with respect to a pre-spin-off period for which IAC is responsible results in a tax benefit to HSNi in a post-spin-off period, HSNi will be required to pay such tax benefit to IAC. In general, IAC controls all audits and administrative matters and other tax proceedings relating to the consolidated federal income tax return of the IAC group and any other tax returns for which the IAC group is responsible. The provisions set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement could subject HSNi to future tax contingencies.
	The IRS has completed its review of the IAC consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009, which includes the operations of HSNi. The settlement for these years has been submitted to and approved by the Joint Committee on Taxation. Various IAC consolidated tax returns filed with state, local and foreign jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City, for various tax years beginning with 2006. By virtue of the Tax Sharing Agreement with IAC, HSNi is indemnified with respect to additional tax liabilities for consolidated or combined federal and state tax returns prepared and filed by IAC prior to the spin-off, but is liable for any additional tax liabilities for HSNi separately filed state income tax returns.

	As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $29.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards which is currently expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.
	The Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), authorizes the issuance of 8.0 million shares of HSNi common stock for new awards granted by HSNi. The purpose of the Plan is to assist HSNi in attracting, retaining and motivating officers, employees, directors and consultants, and to provide HSNi with the ability to provide incentives more directly linked to the profitability of HSNi’s business and increases in shareholder value. As of June 30, 2014, there were approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock available for grants under the Plan.
	HSNi can grant restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards under the Plan. Stock-based awards have a maximum term of 10 years. The exercise price of options and SARs granted under the Plan is required to be at, or above, the fair market value of HSNi’s stock on the date of grant. RSUs have rights to receive dividend equivalents that vest at the same time as the underlying RSUs once the requisite service has been rendered. HSNi elects to issue shares of its common stock for RSU vestings and SAR exercises net of the employees’ minimum tax withholding obligation. The payments made by HSNi to the taxing authorities for these taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $8.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
	A summary of the stock-based awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:
		Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
		Number of Awards Granted			Weighted Average per Share Fair Value
	Stock appreciation rights	404,141			$15.17

	On September 27, 2011, HSNi’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program which allowed HSNi to purchase 10 million shares of its common stock from time to time through privately negotiated and/or open market transactions. The timing of repurchases and actual number of shares repurchased depended on a variety of factors, including the stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under HSNi’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, HSNi acquired under the program approximately 931,000 shares of its outstanding common stock for $51.0 million at an average price of $54.76. In July 2014, HSNi completed its 10 million share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $451.0 million, representing an average cost of $45.10 per share. All shares were immediately retired upon purchase.
	Dividend Policy
	In the second quarter of 2014, HSNi's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share. The dividend was paid on June 18, 2014 to HSNi's shareholders of record as of June 4, 2014.
	In the third quarter of 2014, HSNi's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share. The dividend will be paid on September 17, 2014 to HSNi's shareholders of record as of September 3, 2014.

	In cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC"), Frontgate, one of the Cornerstone brands, announced in January 2011 a voluntary recall of a product sold from December 2005 through July 2010.  In June 2013, the CPSC notified the company that the CPSC was investigating whether the company complied with certain reporting requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Act.  Based on a tentative settlement with the CPSC, the company accrued $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 in “general and administrative” expenses in its consolidated statements of operations. A final settlement of $0.0 million was reached in the second quarter of 2014 and paid in the third quarter of 2014.
	In the ordinary course of business, HSNi is a party to various audits, claims and lawsuits. These audits or litigation may relate to claims involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property (including patent infringement), sales tax, product recalls, regulatory compliance, employment matters and other claims. HSNi has established reserves for specific legal or tax compliance matters that it has determined the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that an unfavorable resolution of claims against HSNi, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on its liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future and an unfavorable resolution of such a proceeding could have a material impact. Moreover, any claims or regulatory actions against HSNi, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.
	HSNi also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 9 for discussion related to income tax contingencies.

	HSNi prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of HSNi's management, the assumptions underlying these interim unaudited financial statements are reasonable.
	Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the determination of the lower of cost or market adjustment for inventory; sales returns and other revenue allowances; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the recoverability of long-lived assets; the impairment of intangible assets; the annual expected effective tax rate; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the accrual for actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims and assessments; and assumptions related to the determination of incentive compensation and contingent consideration.
