Notes to Attributed Financial Information
June 30, 2017
(unaudited)
(1) | Attributed Financial Information |
The terms “LiLAC Group” and “Liberty Global Group” do not represent separate legal entities, rather they represent those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to each group. The LiLAC Group comprises our businesses, assets and liabilities in Latin America and the Caribbean and has attributed to it (i) LGE Coral and its subsidiaries, which include CWC, (ii) VTR Finance and its subsidiaries, which include VTR, (iii) Lila Chile Holding, which is the parent entity of VTR Finance and (iv) LiLAC Communications and its subsidiaries, which include Liberty Puerto Rico. The Liberty Global Group comprises our businesses, assets and liabilities not attributed to the LiLAC Group, including Virgin Media, Unitymedia, Telenet, UPC Holding, our 50% interest in the VodafoneZiggo JV (from December 31, 2016), Ziggo Group Holding (up to December 31, 2016), our corporate entities (excluding LiLAC Communications) and certain other less significant entities. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Liberty Global Group and the LiLAC Group includes the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of the respective entities within each group. Any business that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the LiLAC Group will be attributed to the Liberty Global Group.
Our board of directors is vested with discretion to reattribute businesses, assets and liabilities that are attributed to either the Liberty Global Group or the LiLAC Group to the other group, without the approval of any of our shareholders, and may use the liquidity of one group to fund the liquidity and capital resource requirements of the other group. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty evaluating the future prospects and liquidity and capital resources of each group.
(2) | Income Taxes |
We generally have accounted for income taxes for the Liberty Global Group and the LiLAC Group in the accompanying attributed financial information on a separate return basis, as adjusted to reflect the consolidated view of the tax asset, liability, benefit or expense (tax attribute) of each group. Accordingly, except as otherwise noted below, any tax attribute associated with an entity attributed to the Liberty Global Group has been allocated to the Liberty Global Group and any tax attribute associated with an entity attributed to the LiLAC Group has been allocated to the LiLAC Group.
Liberty Global owns consolidated interests in a number of entities that are included in combined or consolidated tax returns, including tax returns in the Netherlands (the Dutch Fiscal Unity), the U.K. (the U.K. Tax Group) and the U.S. (the U.S. Tax Group). Different members of the Liberty Global Group file combined tax returns for the Dutch Fiscal Unity and U.K. tax returns, where sharing of certain tax attributes is permitted, and consolidated tax returns for the U.S. Tax Group. Certain entities included in the Dutch Fiscal Unity, the U.K. Tax Group and the U.S. Tax Group are attributed to the LiLAC Group. As a result, we record inter-group tax allocations to recognize changes in the tax attributes of certain members of the LiLAC Group that are included in the Dutch Fiscal Unity, the U.K. Tax Group or the U.S. Tax Group. Prior to July 1, 2015, the inter-group tax allocations reflected in the attributed financial information were not cash settled and were not the subject of tax sharing agreements. Accordingly, inter-group tax allocations prior to July 1, 2015 are reflected in the attributed financial information as adjustments to equity. Following the adoption of the tax sharing policy described below, certain inter-group tax allocations are expected to be cash settled.
Effective July 1, 2015 (the date we distributed the LiLAC Shares), the allocation of tax attributes between the Liberty Global Group and the LiLAC Group is based on a tax sharing policy. This tax sharing policy, which may be changed in future periods at the discretion of the board of directors of Liberty Global, generally results in the allocation of a portion of Liberty Global’s tax attributes to the Liberty Global Group and the LiLAC Group based on the relative tax attributes of the legal entities attributed to each of the groups. Nevertheless, to the extent that Liberty Global management concludes the actions or results of one group give rise to changes in the tax attributes of the other group, the change in those tax attributes are generally allocated to the group whose actions or results gave rise to such changes. Similarly, in cases where legal entities in one group join in a common tax filing with members of the other group, changes in the tax attributes of the group that includes the filing entity that are the result of the actions or financial results of one or more members of the other group are allocated to the group that does not include the filing entity. In addition, the allocation of any taxes and losses resulting from the ultimate tax treatment of Liberty Global tax attributes related to the distribution of the LiLAC Shares are allocated in proportion to each group’s respective number of “liquidation units.” Pursuant to the terms of our articles of association, the liquidation units for each Liberty Global Share and each LiLAC Share are 1 and 0.94893, respectively. For periods beginning on and after July 1, 2015, we will record non-interest bearing inter-group payables and receivables in connection with the allocation of tax attributes to the extent that tax assets are utilized or taxable income is included in the return for the applicable tax year. These inter-group payables and receivables are expected to be cash settled annually within 90 days following the filing of the relevant tax return. Changes to previously filed tax returns will be reflected in the inter-group payables and receivables, and any prior settlement of payables and receivables will be adjusted to reflect amended tax filings.

(a) | The statutory or “expected” tax rates are the U.K. rates of 19.25% for 2017 and 20.0% for 2016. The 2017 statutory rate represents the blended rate that will be in effect for the year ended December 31, 2017 based on the 20.0% statutory rate that was in effect for the first quarter of 2017 and the 19.0% statutory rate that will be in effect for the remainder of 2017. |
(b) | Amounts reflect adjustments to the “expected” tax benefit (expense) for statutory rates in jurisdictions in which we operate outside of the U.K. |
(3) | Allocated Expenses |
We allocate a portion of the Liberty Global Group’s corporate functions, excluding share-based compensation expense, to the LiLAC Group based primarily on the estimated percentage of time spent by corporate personnel providing services for each group. The allocated costs, which are cash settled and are periodically re-evaluated, are presented as inter-group fees and allocations in the attributed statements of operations information. From July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016, the annual amount allocated was $8.5 million. Effective January 1, 2017, the annual allocation was increased to $12.0 million.
The share-based compensation expense reflected in the accompanying attributed statements of operations information is based on the share incentive awards held by the employees of the respective entities comprising the Liberty Global Group and the LiLAC Group.
The income tax expense of the Liberty Global Group includes inter-group tax benefits of (i) $2.1 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and (ii) $3.9 million and $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The income tax benefit (expense) of the LiLAC Group includes inter-group tax expense of (a) $2.1 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and (b) $3.9 million and $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For additional information concerning our inter-group tax allocations, see note 2 to this attributed financial information.
While we believe that our allocation methodologies are reasonable, we may elect to change these allocation methodologies or the percentages used to allocate operating and SG&A expenses in the future.
