Basis of Presentation | LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of Liberty Media Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries ("Liberty," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media and entertainment industries primarily in North America and the United Kingdom. Liberty’s most significant subsidiaries include Sirius XM Holdings Inc. ("Sirius XM Holdings") and Delta Topco Limited (the parent company of Formula 1). Our most significant investment accounted for under the equity method is Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. ("Live Nation"). Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings") was a subsidiary of the Company until the Split-Off (defined below) on July 18, 2023. Braves Holdings is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Split-Off did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, 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. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. 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, 2022. 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. The Company considers (i) fair value measurement of non-financial instruments, (ii) accounting for income taxes and (iii) the determination of the useful life of Sirius XM Holdings’ broadcast/transmission system to be its most significant estimates . 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 affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that the Company 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 Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail”), Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“TripCo”), Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) and Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“Atlanta Braves Holdings”), all of which are separate publicly traded companies, in order to govern relationships between the companies. None of these entities has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others, other than Liberty’s equity interest in Atlanta Braves Holdings, as described in note 2. These agreements include Reorganization Agreements (in the case of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings only), Services Agreements, Facilities Sharing Agreements, Tax Sharing Agreements (in the case of Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings only), Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement (in the case of Atlanta Braves Holdings only) and a Registration Rights Agreement (in the case of Atlanta Braves Holdings only). In addition, as a result of certain corporate transactions, Liberty and Qurate Retail may have obligations to each other for certain tax related matters. The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between Liberty and each of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, Liberty provides Qurate Retail, TripCo, Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Qurate Retail, TripCo, Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings reimburse Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and, in the case of Qurate Retail, Qurate Retail's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Qurate Retail. TripCo, Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings reimburse Liberty for shared services and personnel based on a flat fee. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, Liberty shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Qurate Retail, TripCo, Liberty Broadband and Atlanta Braves Holdings. Under these various agreements, approximately $12 million and $4 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and approximately $20 million and $16 million were reimbursed to Liberty during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In connection with Liberty’s employment arrangement with Gregory B. Maffei, Liberty’s President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the Services Agreements between Liberty and each of TripCo, Liberty Broadband, Qurate Retail and Atlanta Braves Holdings (collectively, the “Service Companies”), components of Mr. Maffei's compensation are either paid directly to him by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case, based on allocations among Liberty and the Service Companies set forth in the respective services agreement, which are subject to adjustment on an annual basis and upon the occurrence of certain events. Seasonality Formula 1 recognizes the majority of its revenue and expenses in connection with World Championship race events (“Events”) that take place in different countries around the world throughout the year. The Events in the past have generally taken place between March and December each year. As a result, the revenue and expenses recognized by Formula 1 are generally lower during the first quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters throughout the year. Braves Holdings revenue was seasonal, for the periods included herein, with the majority of revenue recognized during the second and third quarters which aligns with the baseball season. |

Tracking Stocks | |
Tracking Stocks | (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. On July 18, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced split-off (the “Split-Off”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlanta Braves Holdings. The Split-Off was accomplished by a redemption by the Company of each outstanding share of Liberty Braves common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding series of Atlanta Braves Holdings common stock. Atlanta Braves Holdings is comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”) immediately prior to the Split-Off, except for the intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group, which were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off. On August 3, 2023, the Company reclassified its then-outstanding shares of common stock into three new tracking stocks — connection therewith, provided for the attribution of the businesses, assets and liabilities of the Company’s remaining tracking stock groups among its newly created Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”) and Liberty Live Group (the “Reclassification”). As a result of the Reclassification, each then-outstanding share of Liberty SiriusXM common stock was reclassified into one share of the corresponding series of new Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 0.2500 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Live common stock and each outstanding share of Liberty Formula One common stock was reclassified into one share of the corresponding series of new Liberty Formula One common stock and 0.0428 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Live common stock. Each of the Split-Off and the Reclassification were intended to be tax-free to stockholders of the Company, except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Formula One Group and the Liberty Live 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 therefore, do not own, by virtue of their ownership of a Liberty tracking stock, any equity or voting interest in a public company, such as Sirius XM Holdings, in which Liberty holds an interest that is attributed to a Liberty tracking stock group, the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Holders of tracking stock are also 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. The Liberty SiriusXM common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. As of September 30, 2023, the Liberty SiriusXM Group is comprised of Liberty’s interest in Sirius XM Holdings, corporate cash, Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”) and related financial instruments, Liberty’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, Liberty’s 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, a margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty and an interest in Atlanta Braves Holdings related to the settlement of Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Braves Group, detailed below. As of September 30, 2023, the Liberty SiriusXM Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $327 million, which included $53 million of subsidiary cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings declared quarterly dividends and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $281 million, of which Liberty received $233 million. On October 25, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.0266 per share of common stock payable on November 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2023. The Liberty Formula One common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group. As of September 30, 2023, the Formula One Group is comprised of Liberty’s interest in Formula 1, cash and Liberty’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. As of September 30, 2023, the Formula One Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,470 million, which included $947 million of subsidiary cash. The Liberty Live common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Live Group. As of September 30, 2023, the Liberty Live Group is comprised of all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Liberty, other than those specifically attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group or the Formula One Group, including Liberty’s interest in Live Nation, cash, certain public and private assets previously attributed to the Formula One Group, Prior to the Split-Off, the Liberty Braves common stock was intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group. The Braves Group was comprised primarily of Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC” or the “Atlanta Braves”), certain assets and liabilities associated with ANLBC’s stadium (the “Stadium”) and a mixed-use development around the Stadium that features retail, office, hotel and entertainment opportunities (the “Mixed-Use Development”) and corporate cash. As of December 31, 2022, 6,792,903 notional shares represented an 11.0% intergroup interest in the Braves Group previously held by the Formula One Group, 1,811,066 notional shares represented a 2.9% intergroup interest in the Braves Group previously held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group and 4,165,288 notional shares represented a 1.7% intergroup interest in the Formula One Group previously held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. During March 2023, the Formula One Group paid approximately $202 million to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle a portion of the intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group, as a result of the repurchase of a portion of the Convertible Notes, as described in note 7. On July 12, 2023, the Formula One Group paid approximately $71 million to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle and extinguish the remaining intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. In connection with the Split-Off, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group were settled and extinguished through the attribution, to the respective tracking stock group, of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock on a one-for-one basis equal to the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest. On July 19, 2023, the shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock attributed to the Formula One Group to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in connection with the Split-Off were distributed on a pro rata basis to holders of Liberty Formula One common stock (the “Formula One Distribution”). Within one-year of the Split-Off, Liberty intends to either exchange the shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with one or more third party lenders to satisfy certain debt obligations attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group or dispose of such shares in one or more public or private sale transactions. See Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for unaudited attributed financial information for Liberty's tracking stock groups. |

Stock-Based Compensation | |
Stock-Based Compensation | (3) Stock-Based Compensation Liberty grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of its 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 (“GDFV”) 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 based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. In connection with the Formula One Distribution, for Liberty employees, directors, and Formula 1 employees, the number of shares subject to stock options of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock as well as the corresponding exercise price were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the Series C Liberty Formula One common stock options and the ratio of the exercise price to the Series C Liberty Formula One common stock market price pre-ex-dividend date. In connection with the Reclassification, and with respect to Liberty employees and directors, each holder of an outstanding option award to purchase shares of Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM or Liberty Formula One received a new option award to purchase shares of Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM or Liberty Formula One, respectively, along with new option awards to purchase Series C Liberty Live common stock with appropriate adjustments being made to determine the number of shares and applicable exercise price subject to each such award after giving effect to the Reclassification. These adjustments were designed to preserve the intrinsic value and the ratio of the exercise price to market price associated with each original Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM or Liberty Formula One option award prior to the Reclassification. In connection with the Reclassification, and with respect to Formula 1 employees, each holder of an outstanding option award to purchase shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock received a new option award to purchase shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock with appropriate adjustments being made to determine the number of shares and applicable exercise price subject to each such award after giving effect to the Reclassification. These adjustments were designed to preserve the intrinsic value and the ratio of the exercise price to market price associated with each original Series C Liberty Formula One common stock option award prior to the Reclassification. Included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation, as discussed below: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 amounts in millions Cost of Sirius XM Holdings services: Programming and content $ 10 10 25 26 Customer service and billing 1 1 4 4 Other 2 1 4 4 Other operating expense 11 10 33 27 Selling, general and administrative 39 39 107 112 $ 63 61 173 173 Liberty—Grants of Awards Options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are summarized as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Options Weighted granted average (000's) GDFV Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) 19 $ 8.98 Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty CEO (2) 370 $ 10.34 Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) 8 $ 28.17 Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, Formula 1 employee (3) 71 $ 30.70 Series C Liberty Braves common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) 3 $ 14.24 (1) Grants vest between two and three years . (2) Grant cliff vests on December 29, 2023. Grant was made in connection with the CEO’s employment agreement. (3) Grant vests in equal quarterly installments over 2023. The Company did not grant any options Series A Series B Liberty Live Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted 31 thousand and 81 thousand performance-based RSUs of Series C common stock of Liberty Braves and Liberty Formula One, respectively, to our CEO. The RSUs had a GDFV of $34.44 per share and $75.12 per share, respectively, and cliff vest one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized. When the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The probability of satisfying the performance objectives is assessed at the end of each reporting period. Liberty calculates the GDFV for all of its equity classified options and the subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified options using the Black-Scholes Model. Liberty estimates the expected term of the options based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for options is based on the historical volatility of Liberty common stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. Liberty uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options. Liberty—Outstanding Awards The following tables present the number and weighted average exercise price ("WAEP") of options to purchase Liberty common stock granted to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company, as well as the weighted average remaining life and aggregate intrinsic value of the options.

Earnings Attributable to Liberty Media Corporation Stockholders Per Common Share | |
Earnings Attributable to Liberty Media Corporation Stockholders Per Common Share | (4) Earnings Attributable to Liberty Media Corporation Stockholders 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 (“WASO”) 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, including any necessary adjustments to earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders. Excluded from diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are approximately 24 million and 25 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, 1 million and 3 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, 2 million and 2 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Live common stock and 2 million and 7 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Braves common stock, respectively, primarily due to warrants issued in connection with the Bond Hedge Transaction (as defined in note 7) and shares of Liberty Braves common stock and Liberty Formula One common stock underlying the intergroup interests (prior to settlement / extinguishment), because their inclusion would be antidilutive. The warrant transactions (as described in note 7) may have a dilutive effect with respect to the shares comprising the basket of Liberty’s tracking stocks as specified in the indenture, as amended, related to the Convertible Notes (the “Securities Basket”) underlying the warrants to the extent that the settlement price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, and the warrants are settled in shares comprising such Securities Basket. The warrants and any potential future settlement are attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following weighted average outstanding shares of common stock. Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 numbers of shares in millions Basic WASO 327 327 327 329 Potentially dilutive shares (a) 25 18 21 19 Diluted WASO (b) 352 345 348 348 (a) Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of EPS during periods in which net losses are reported since the result would be antidilutive. (b) For periods in which share settlement of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 and 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, which could have been settled in shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, and 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, which may be settled in shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instruments during the period, net of tax where appropriate. As disclosed in note 7, the settlement of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 changed to solely cash, pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into during February 2023. Accordingly, the impact of share settlement of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 was considered for purposes of calculating diluted WASO prior to the execution of the supplemental indenture. Additionally, a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock included in the Securities Basket underlying the warrants is included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would be more dilutive than share settlement. Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 amounts in millions Basic earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty SiriusXM stockholders $ 307 305 656 1,040 Adjustments 6 (23) 1 (36) Diluted earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty SiriusXM stockholders $ 313 282 657 1,004 Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following weighted average outstanding shares of common stock. Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 numbers of shares in millions Basic WASO 235 233 234 233 Potentially dilutive shares (a) 9 13 7 10 Diluted WASO (b) 244 246 241 243 (a) Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during periods in which losses are reported since the result would be antidilutive. (b) As described in note 2, the Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Formula One Group was settled and extinguished on July 12, 2023. The intergroup interest was a quasi-equity interest which was not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty SiriusXM Group had an attributed value in the Formula One Group which was generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to its interest in the Formula One Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Liberty Formula One common stock underlie the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market price of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment through the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional shares representing the intergroup interest had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interest was dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interest to fair value during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, which may be settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instrument during the period, net of tax where appropriate. Additionally, an adjustment is also made to the numerator for a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock included in the Securities Basket underlying the warrants in periods in which cash settlement would be more dilutive than share settlement.

(b) As described in note 2, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off. The intergroup interests were quasi-equity interests, which were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group had attributed values in the Braves Group which were generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to their interests in the Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock underlie the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were historically used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Split-Off, shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Following such determination, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The notional shares representing the intergroup interests had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interests were dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interests to fair value during the period. Additionally, prior to the Split-Off, a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock included in the Securities Basket underlying the warrants was included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would be more dilutive than share settlement.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value | |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value | (5) 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. Liberty does not have any assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value considered to be Level 3. Liberty's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Quoted Quoted prices prices in active Significant in active Significant markets other markets other for identical observable for identical observable assets inputs assets inputs Description Total (Level 1) (Level 2) Total (Level 1) (Level 2) amounts in millions Cash equivalents $ 1,707 1,707 — 2,026 2,026 — Debt and equity securities $ 167 167 — 80 80 — Financial instrument assets $ 210 111 99 393 86 307 Debt $ 3,124 — 3,124 3,331 — 3,331 The majority of Liberty's Level 2 financial instruments are debt related instruments and derivative instruments. These assets and liabilities are not always traded publicly or 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 or a trading price of a similar asset or liability is utilized. Accordingly, those debt securities, financial instruments and debt or debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. Debt and equity securities included in the table above are included in the Other assets line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023, $42 million and $168 million of financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other current assets and Other assets line items, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, $219 million and $174 million of financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other current assets and Other assets line items, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments, net Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 amounts in millions Debt and equity securities $ (9) 2 7 (10) Debt measured at fair value (a) 8 45 (97) 691 Change in fair value of bond hedges (b) (15) 21 (114) (248) Other 27 38 73 112 $ 11 106 (131) 545 (a) The Company elected to account for its exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes (as described in note 7) using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a gain of $41 million and loss of $41 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a gain of $11 million and zero net impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $28 million of previously unrecognized losses and $15 million of previously unrecognized gains, respectively, related to the retirement of the 1% Convertible Notes (defined below), the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 and a portion of the Convertible Notes, which was recognized through other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cumulative change since issuance was a gain of $60 million as of September 30, 2023, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses. (b) Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges, which are expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes. The bond hedges are marked-to-market based on the trading price of underlying Series A Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Braves and Liberty Formula One securities and other observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). See note 7 for additional discussion of the bond hedges. |

Sirius XM Canada As of September 30, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Canada”). Sirius XM Canada is accounted for as an equity method investment as Sirius XM Holdings does not have the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact Sirius XM Canada's economic performance. On March 15, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings and Sirius XM Canada entered into an amended and restated services and distribution agreement. Pursuant to the amended and restated services and distribution agreement, the fee payable by Sirius XM Canada to Sirius XM Holdings was modified from a fixed percentage of revenue to a variable fee, based on a target operating profit for Sirius XM Canada. Such variable fee is expected to be evaluated annually based on comparable companies. In accordance with the amended and restated services and distribution agreement, the fee is payable on a monthly basis, in arrears, beginning January 1, 2022. Sirius XM Holdings recorded approximately $27 million and $29 million in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $78 million and $84 million in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, associated with these various agreements. Sirius XM Canada paid gross dividends to Sirius XM Holdings of less than $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $1 million and less than $1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. SoundCloud In February 2020, Sirius XM Holdings completed a $75 million investment in Series G Membership Units of SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”). The investment in SoundCloud is accounted for as an equity method investment as Sirius XM Holdings does not have the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact SoundCloud's economic performance. In addition to Sirius XM Holdings’ investment in SoundCloud, Pandora has an agreement with SoundCloud to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries. Through this arrangement, Pandora offers advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. Sirius XM Holdings recorded revenue share expense related to this agreement of $14 million and $13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $39 million and $40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Sirius XM Holdings also had related party liabilities of $19 million as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 related to this agreement. |

Interest on the Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 1.375% per annum. All conversions of the Convertible Notes were settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Liberty paid approximately $662 million to repurchase approximately $591 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes matured on October 15, 2023 and are classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Since the date of issuance, the conversion, adjustment and other provisions of the indenture were amended to give effect to certain transactions, including the Split-Off, the Formula One Distribution and the Reclassification, each described in note 2. The consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Note were determined based on the Securities Basket, consisting of 1.0163 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, 0.2547 of a share of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock and 0.2650 of a share of Liberty Live common stock as of September 30, 2023. Liberty elected to account for the Convertible Notes using the fair value option. See note 5 for information related to unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value. Additionally, contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into a bond hedge transaction (the “Bond Hedge Transaction”). The Bond Hedge Transaction was expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes in the event that the volume-weighted average price per share of the components of the Securities Basket, as measured under the cash convertible note hedge transactions on each trading day of the relevant cash settlement averaging period or other relevant valuation period, was greater than the strike price of the components of the Securities Basket. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Liberty received approximately $83 million for the settlement of the portion of the bond hedge related to the repurchase of Convertible Notes described above. As of September 30, 2023, the Bond Hedge Transaction covered, in the aggregate, 4,693,566 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, 1,176,278 shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock and 1,223,846 shares of Series A Liberty Live common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pertaining to the Convertible Notes, which is equal to the aggregate number of shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the Convertible Notes. The bond hedge expired on October 15, 2023 and is included in Other current assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value recorded as unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Concurrently with the Convertible Notes and Bond Hedge Transaction, Liberty also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions under which Liberty sold warrants relating to the same underlying shares of the Convertible Notes and Bond Hedge Transaction, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Liberty paid approximately $44 million for the settlement of the portion of the obligation under the warrants related to the repurchase of Convertible Notes described above. As of September 30, 2023, the warrants covered, in the aggregate, 4,693,566 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, 1,176,278 shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock and 1,223,846 shares of Series A Liberty Live common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The strike price of the warrants, based on the basket of shares, was $55.6862 per share as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the basket price of the securities underlying the warrants was $48.72 per share, which is the same as the basket price of the securities underlying the Bond Hedge Transaction. The warrants may have a dilutive effect with respect to the shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the warrants to the extent that the settlement price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, and the warrants are settled in shares comprising such Securities Basket. The remaining warrants were settled with cash subsequent to September 30, 2023. The Convertible Notes, Bond Hedge Transaction and warrants were attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 On January 23, 2017, Liberty issued $450 million cash convertible notes at an interest rate of 1% per annum, which were convertible, under certain circumstances, into cash based on the trading prices of the underlying shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock and matured on January 30, 2023 (the ‘‘1% Convertible Notes’’). The initial conversion rate for the notes was approximately 27.11 shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $36.89 per share of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock. The conversion of the 1% Convertible Notes was settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, certain investors exercised their right to require a Special Repurchase, as defined in the indenture governing such notes, and Pandora repurchased $173 million principal amount of the Pandora Notes due 2023 with cash for an aggregate purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The Pandora Notes due 2023 were not convertible into common stock and were not redeemable as of September 30, 2023. On or after July 1, 2023, and prior to the close of business on November 29, 2023, the Pandora Notes due 2023 are convertible into Sirius XM Holdings common stock at the holder’s option at the applicable conversion rate in effect on the relevant conversion date. Sirius XM Holdings Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Incremental Term Loan Sirius XM Holdings entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of financial institutions with a total borrowing capacity of $1,750 million which matures in August 2026. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of Sirius XM Holdings’ material domestic subsidiaries and is secured by a lien on substantially all of Sirius XM Holdings' assets and the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings is payable on a monthly basis and, effective as of July 1, 2023, accrues at a rate based on SOFR plus an applicable rate. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility bore interest at a rate of 7.46% per annum as of September 30, 2023. Sirius XM Holdings is required to pay a variable fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility which was 0.25% per annum as of September 30, 2023 and is payable on a quarterly basis. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including a maintenance covenant. Availability under the Credit Facility was $1,615 million as of September 30, 2023. On April 11, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to incorporate an incremental term loan borrowing of $500 million which matures on April 11, 2024. Interest on the incremental term loan borrowing is based on SOFR plus an applicable rate. Borrowings outstanding under the incremental term loan bore interest at a rate of 6.46% per annum as of September 30, 2023. Formula 1 Loans On November 23, 2022, Formula 1 refinanced its previous $2.9 billion first lien Term Loan B and $500 million revolving credit facility with a new $725 million first lien Term Loan A, a refinanced $1.7 billion Term Loan B and a new $500 million revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Senior Loan Facility”). The Term Loan A and revolving credit facility mature on January 15, 2028 and the Term Loan B matures on January 15, 2030. As of September 30, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the $500 million revolving credit facility. The margin for the Term Loan B, originally set at 3.25%, stepped down to 3.00% effective May 5, 2023, after a certain leverage test was met as of March 31, 2023. The margin for the new Term Loan A and revolving credit facility is between 1.50% and 2.25% depending on leverage ratios, amongst other things, and is fixed at 1.75% for the first year. The reference rate for the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and dollar borrowings under the revolving credit facility is Term SOFR. The interest rate on the Senior Loan Facility was approximately 7.95% as of September 30, 2023. The Senior Loan Facility remains non-recourse to Liberty. The Senior Loan Facility is secured by share pledges and floating charges over Formula 1’s primary operating companies with certain cross guarantees. Additionally, in order to manage its interest rate risk, as of September 30, 2023, Formula 1 has interest rate swaps on $2.1 billion of the $2.4 billion Senior Loan Facility, the maturity of which has been shortened such that they expire on December 31, 2023, and has entered into $1.1 billion of forward starting swaps, effective December 31, 2023, with a termination date in December 2029 and an optional early termination date in December 2027. Formula 1 repriced the Term Loan B on October 4, 2023, reducing the margin from 3.00% to 2.25%. Debt Covenants The Sirius XM Holdings Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants related to Sirius XM Holdings’ leverage ratio. The Formula 1 Senior Loan Facility contains certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings’ Credit Facility, Formula 1 debt and other borrowings contain certain non-financial covenants. The Company, Sirius XM Holdings and Formula 1 were in compliance with their debt covenants as of September 30, 2023. Fair Value of Debt The fair value, based on quoted market prices of the same instruments but not considered to be active markets (Level 2), of Sirius XM Holdings’ publicly traded debt securities, not reported at fair value, are as follows (amounts in millions): September 30, 2023 SiriusXM 3.125% Senior Notes due 2026 $ 888 SiriusXM 5.0% Senior Notes due 2027 $ 1,369 SiriusXM 4.0% Senior Notes due 2028 $ 1,702 SiriusXM 5.50% Senior Notes due 2029 $ 1,105 SiriusXM 4.125% Senior Notes due 2030 $ 1,194 SiriusXM 3.875% Senior Notes due 2031 $ 1,134 Pandora 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 $ 20 Due to the variable rate nature of the Credit Facility, margin loans and other debt, the Company believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value at September 30, 2023. |

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | (8) Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company may retain liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees. Sirius XM Holdings Restructuring During 2023, Sirius XM Holdings initiated measures to pursue greater efficiency and to realign its business and focus on strategic priorities. As part of these measures, Sirius XM Holdings reduced the size of its workforce by approximately 475 roles, or 8%, and recorded charges of $4 million and $31 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily related to severance and other related costs. Sirius XM Holdings also recorded impairments of $15 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily related to terminated software projects. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings vacated one of its leased locations and recorded an impairment of $5 million to reduce the carrying value of the related right of use asset to its estimated fair value and accrued expenses of $2 million for which it will not recognize any future economic benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These charges were recorded to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings evaluated its office space needs and, as a result of such analysis, vacated certain office spaces. Sirius XM Holdings assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the operating lease right of use assets related to these locations. Sirius XM Holdings determined that the carrying values of the assets were not recoverable, and recorded an impairment of $16 million to reduce the carrying value of the assets to their fair values. Sirius XM Holdings also wrote off $4 million of property and equipment Litigation 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 amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Pre-1972 Sound Recording Litigation. The MMA grants a potential federal preemption defense to the claims asserted in the aforementioned lawsuits. In July 2019, Pandora took steps to avail itself of this preemption defense, including making the required payments under the MMA for certain of its uses of pre-1972 recordings. Based on the federal preemption contained in the MMA (along with other considerations), Pandora asked the Ninth Circuit to order the dismissal of the Flo & Eddie, Inc. v. Pandora Media, Inc. In October 2020, the District Court denied Pandora’s renewed motion to dismiss the case under California’s anti-SLAPP statute, finding the case no longer qualified for anti-SLAPP due to intervening changes in the law, and denied Pandora’s renewed attempt to end the case. Alternatively, the District Court ruled that the preemption defense likely did not apply to Flo & Eddie’s claims, in part because the District Court believed that the MMA did not apply retroactively. Pandora promptly appealed the District Court’s decision to the Ninth Circuit, and moved to stay appellate briefing pending the appeal of a related case against SiriusXM. On January 13, 2021, the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting the stay of appellate proceedings pending the resolution of a related case against SiriusXM. On August 23, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an Opinion in a related case, Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. The related case also concerned a class action suit brought by Flo & Eddie Inc. regarding the public performance of pre-1972 recordings under California law. Relying on California’s copyright statute, Flo & Eddie argued that California law gave it the “exclusive ownership” of its pre-1972 songs, including the right of public performance. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s grant of partial summary judgment to Flo & Eddie Inc. The Ninth Circuit held that the District Court in this related case erred in concluding that “exclusive ownership” under California’s copyright statute included the right of public performance. The Ninth Circuit remanded the case for entry of judgment consistent with the terms of the parties’ contingent settlement agreement, and on October 6, 2021, the parties to the related case stipulated to its dismissal with prejudice. The Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. decision is precedential in the Ninth Circuit, and therefore Sirius XM Holdings believes substantially narrows the claims that Flo & Eddie may continue to assert against Pandora. Following issuance of the Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. opinion, on September 3, 2021, the Ninth Circuit lifted the stay of appellate proceedings in Flo & Eddie, Inc. v. Pandora Media, LLC. Pandora promptly filed an appeal of the District Court’s order denying the renewed motion to dismiss the case under California’s anti-SLAAP statute. On June 2, 2022, the Ninth Circuit upheld the District Court’s order denying dismissal of the case under California’s anti-SLAPP statute, finding that Pandora had failed to demonstrate that Flo & Eddie’s claims arise from Pandora’s protected conduct. As part of the decision, the Ninth Circuit noted that Pandora had forcefully argued that the Court’s decision in Flo & Eddie Inc. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc ., On September 29, 2022, Flo & Eddie filed an Amended Complaint, and on October 13, 2022, Pandora filed an Answer to the Amended Complaint. In accordance with the directive of the Ninth Circuit, in November 2022, Pandora filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in this action. Following oral argument, on July 25, 2023, the Court granted Pandora’s Motion for Summary Judgment, and by order closed this action. The time for Flo & Eddie to file an appeal of the order granting Summary Judgment in favor of Pandora has not expired. U.S. Music Royalty Fee Actions and Mass Arbitrations The plaintiffs and claimants seek to enjoin Sirius XM Holdings from advertising its music subscription plans without including the amount of the U.S. Music Royalty Fee. The plaintiffs and claimants also seek disgorgement, restitution and/or damages in the aggregate amount of U.S Music Royalty Fees paid by customers, as well as statutory and punitive damages where available. To date, the actions and arbitrations filed against Sirius XM Holdings include: • On April 14, 2023, Ayana Stevenson and David Ambrose, individually, as private attorneys general, and on behalf of all other California persons similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Contra Costa. The case has since been removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. • On May 17, 2023, Robyn Posternock, Muriel Salters and Philip Munning, individually, as private attorneys general, and on behalf of all other New Jersey persons similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. • On June 5, 2023, Christopher Carovillano and Steven Brandt, individually, as private attorneys general, and on behalf of all other United States persons similarly situated (excluding persons in the states of California, New Jersey and Washington), filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. • Commencing on June 5, 2023, the law firm of Hattis & Lukacs filed a series of mass arbitration claims against Sirius XM Holdings before the American Arbitration Association on behalf of approximately 13,500 claimants. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings has been served with notices of claims by law firms claiming to represent approximately 11,000 claimants. The notices purport to state a variety of claims, including that: Sirius XM Holdings does not adequately disclose to customers the total cost of its subscriptions; Sirius XM Holdings does not describe the type or amount of the fees imposed on customers; Sirius XM Holdings enrolls customers in automatic bill payments without having knowledge of the U.S. Music Royalty Fee; Sirius XM Holdings fails to provide consumers with an easy way to cancel their subscriptions; in the case of trial subscriptions, Sirius XM Holdings requires customers to preauthorize automatic deductions from their accounts, while hiding the fact that customers agree to automatically pay recurring charges at higher rates when the promotional period ends; and Sirius XM Holdings engages in other deceptive consumer practices. The notices assert potential causes of action under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, various state consumer protection and false advertising laws, and other unspecified state and federal laws. Sirius XM Holdings expects the claimants may also pursue individual arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association pursuant to the terms and conditions of its Customer Agreement. Sirius XM Holdings believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in these actions and arbitrations, and intends to defend these actions vigorously. |

Information About Liberty's Operating Segments | |
Information About Liberty's Operating Segments | (9) Information About Liberty's Operating Segments The Company, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of the Company's annual pre-tax earnings. Liberty’s chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s reportable segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below). In addition, the Company reviews nonfinancial measures such as subscriber growth, churn and penetration. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has identified the following subsidiaries as its reportable segments: ● Sirius XM Holdings is a consolidated subsidiary that operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses, SiriusXM and Pandora and Off-platform. SiriusXM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the United States on a subscription fee basis. SiriusXM’s packages include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. The SiriusXM service is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. SiriusXM also provides connected vehicle services and a suite of in-vehicle data services. Pandora and Off-platform operates a music and podcast streaming discovery platform. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service, called Pandora Plus, and an on-demand subscription service, called Pandora Premium. Pandora also sells advertising on other audio platforms in widely distributed podcasts, which are considered to be off-platform services. ● Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors' Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers' Championship. The World Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of events taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration. The Company's segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies. The significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant policies in the Company's annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K. Performance Measures The following table disaggregates revenue by segment and by source: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 amounts in millions Liberty SiriusXM Group Sirius XM Holdings: Subscriber $ 1,729 1,734 5,146 5,166 Advertising 459 457 1,278 1,292 Equipment 49 50 142 148 Other 34 39 99 114 Total Liberty SiriusXM Group 2,271 2,280 6,665 6,720 Formula One Group Formula 1: Primary 790 624 1,722 1,539 Other 97 91 270 280 Total Formula One Group 887 715 1,992 1,819 Braves Group Corporate and other: Baseball 46 238 318 496 Mixed-Use Development 3 14 32 39 Total Braves Group 49 252 350 535 Consolidated Liberty $ 3,207 3,247 9,007 9,074 Our subsidiaries’ customers generally pay for services in advance of the performance obligation and therefore these prepayments are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as the services are provided. Changes in the contract liability balance for Sirius XM Holdings during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were not materially impacted by other factors. The opening and closing balances for our deferred revenue related to Formula 1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were approximately $348 million and $776 million, respectively. The primary cause for the increase related to the receipt of cash from our customers in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. Significant portions of the transaction prices for Formula 1 are related to undelivered performance obligations that are under contractual arrangements that extend beyond one year. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue from the delivery of such performance obligations of approximately $606 million for the remainder of 2023 2024 2025 2026 For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements 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. The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices. Adjusted OIBDA is summarized as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 amounts in millions Liberty SiriusXM Group Sirius XM Holdings $ 748 722 2,075 2,091 Corporate and other (12) (9) (31) (18) Total Liberty SiriusXM Group 736 713 2,044 2,073 Formula One Group Formula 1 215 170 487 446 Corporate and other (18) (12) (44) (30) Total Formula One Group 197 158 443 416 Liberty Live Group Corporate and other (4) NA (4) NA Total Liberty Live Group (4) NA (4) NA Braves Group Corporate and other 3 38 14 74 Total Braves Group 3 38 14 74 Consolidated Liberty $ 932 909 2,497 2,563 Other Information September 30, 2023 Total Investments Capital assets in affiliates expenditures amounts in millions Liberty SiriusXM Group Sirius XM Holdings $ 29,579 697 520 Corporate and other 358 8 — Total Liberty SiriusXM Group 29,937 705 520 Formula One Group Formula 1 9,201 3 69 Corporate and other 1,353 40 239 Total Formula One Group 10,554 43 308 Liberty Live Group Corporate and other 1,191 397 — Total Braves Group 1,191 397 — Braves Group Corporate and other NA NA 35 Total Braves Group NA NA 35 Elimination (167) — — Consolidated Liberty $ 41,515 1,145 863 The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Operating income (loss) and Earnings (loss) before income taxes: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 amounts in millions Adjusted OIBDA $ 932 909 2,497 2,563 Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries (note 8) (6) (74) (57) (75) Legal settlements and reserves — — (24) — Stock-based compensation (63) (61) (173) (173) Depreciation and amortization (234) (268) (751) (790) Operating income (loss) 629 506 1,492 1,525 Interest expense (196) (179) (592) (497) Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates, net 138 111 218 158 Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net 11 106 (131) 545 Other, net (14) 20 50 87 Earnings (loss) before income taxes $ 568 564 1,037 1,818 |

As disclosed in note 7, the settlement of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 changed to solely cash, pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into during February 2023. Accordingly, the impact of share settlement of the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 was considered for purposes of calculating diluted WASO prior to the execution of the supplemental indenture. Additionally, a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock included in the Securities Basket underlying the warrants is included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would be more dilutive than share settlement.

(b) As described in note 2, the Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Formula One Group was settled and extinguished on July 12, 2023. The intergroup interest was a quasi-equity interest which was not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty SiriusXM Group had an attributed value in the Formula One Group which was generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to its interest in the Formula One Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Liberty Formula One common stock underlie the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market price of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment through the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional shares representing the intergroup interest had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interest was dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interest to fair value during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, which may be settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instrument during the period, net of tax where appropriate. Additionally, an adjustment is also made to the numerator for a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock included in the Securities Basket underlying the warrants in periods in which cash settlement would be more dilutive than share settlement.

(b) As described in note 2, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off. The intergroup interests were quasi-equity interests, which were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group had attributed values in the Braves Group which were generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to their interests in the Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock underlie the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were historically used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the unaudited attributed condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Split-Off, shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Following such determination, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The notional shares representing the intergroup interests had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interests were dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interests to fair value during the period. Additionally, prior to the Split-Off, a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock included in the Securities Basket underlying the warrants was included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would be more dilutive than share settlement.

Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a gain of $41 million and loss of $41 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a gain of $11 million and zero net impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $28 million of previously unrecognized losses and $15 million of previously unrecognized gains, respectively, related to the retirement of the 1% Convertible Notes (defined below), the 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 and a portion of the Convertible Notes, which was recognized through other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cumulative change since issuance was a gain of $60 million as of September 30, 2023, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses. (b) Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges, which are expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes. The bond hedges are marked-to-market based on the trading price of underlying Series A Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Braves and Liberty Formula One securities and other observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). See note 7 for additional discussion of the bond hedges. |
