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.

(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.

I-15

(unaudited)

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. The Split-Off and the Reclassification are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis.

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, Liberty’s 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and a margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty.

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.

(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

I-17

(unaudited)

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.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase Series A or Series B Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One, Liberty Live or Liberty Braves common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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.

As of September 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Awards was approximately $11 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.

As of September 30, 2023, Liberty reserved 6.0 million shares, 6.4 million shares and 1.6 million shares of Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Live, respectively, for issuance under exercise privileges of outstanding stock options.

Sirius XM Holdings — Stock-based Compensation

Sirius XM Holdings granted various types of stock awards to its employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings has approximately 127 million options outstanding of which approximately 84 million are exercisable, each with a WAEP per share of $5.55 and $5.42, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of Sirius XM Holdings options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2023 is $20 million and $19 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings granted approximately 45 million nonvested RSUs with a GDFV per share of $4.72. Stock-based compensation expense related to Sirius XM Holdings was $48 million and $51 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $135 million and $143 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Sirius XM Holdings stock options and RSUs was $479 million. The Sirius XM Holdings unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

(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.

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.

(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.

(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:

	2023		2022	2023	2022

	amounts in millions

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.

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.

1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

On October 17, 2013, Liberty issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. 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.

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’’).

(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

(unaudited)

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 located at the impaired office spaces. Separately, Sirius XM Holdings performed an analysis surrounding initiatives that it is no longer pursuing and recorded an impairment of $43 million associated with terminated software projects and an impairment of $5 million related to severance. The total charge of $68 million was recorded to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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. On October 2, 2014, Flo & Eddie Inc. filed a class action suit against Pandora in the federal district court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges a violation of California Civil Code Section 980, unfair competition, misappropriation and conversion in connection with the public performance of sound recordings recorded prior to February 15, 1972 (“pre-1972 recordings”). On December 19, 2014, Pandora filed a motion to strike the complaint pursuant to California’s Anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (“anti-SLAPP”) statute, which following denial of Pandora’s motion was appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In March 2017, the Ninth Circuit requested certification to the California Supreme Court on the substantive legal questions. The California Supreme Court accepted certification. In May 2019, the California Supreme Court issued an order dismissing consideration of the certified questions on the basis that, following the enactment of the Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act, Pub. L. No. 115-264, 132 Stat. 3676 (2018) (the “MMA”), resolution of the questions posed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was no longer “necessary to . . . settle an important question of law.”

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. case. On October 17, 2019, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a memorandum disposition concluding that the question of whether the MMA preempts Flo and Eddie's claims challenging Pandora's performance of pre-1972 recordings "depends on various unanswered factual questions" and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings.

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,

I-38

LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

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., and other decisions under New York, Florida and Georgia law, foreclosed Flo & Eddie’s claims as a matter of law. Because the case has been pending for over seven years, the Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the District Court and directed “the district court to consider expedited motions practice on the legal validity of Flo & Eddie’s claims in light of the intervening precedent.”

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. A number of class actions and mass arbitrations have commenced against Sirius XM Holdings relating to its pricing, billing and subscription marketing practices. Although each class action and mass arbitration contains unique allegations; in general, the actions and arbitrations allege that Sirius XM Holdings falsely advertised its music subscription plans at lower prices than it actually charges, that Sirius XM Holdings allegedly did not disclose its “U.S. Music Royalty Fee” and that Sirius XM Holdings has taken other actions to prevent customers from discovering the existence, amount and nature of the U.S. Music Royalty Fee in violation of various state consumer protection laws.

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.

•

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.

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.

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, $2,183 million in 2024, $1,907 million in 2025, $4,977 million in 2026 through 2030, and $1,425 million thereafter. We have not included any amounts in the undelivered performance obligations amounts for Formula 1 for those performance obligations that relate to a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

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

I-42

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:

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The information contained herein relates to Liberty Media Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries ("Liberty," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" unless the context otherwise requires).

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of media and entertainment companies. Our largest operating subsidiary, which is also a reportable segment, is Sirius XM Holdings. Sirius XM Holdings 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 U.S. on a subscription fee basis. SiriusXM’s packages include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. SiriusXM 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. The Pandora and Off-platform business operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming platform. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service (Pandora Plus), and an on-demand subscription service (Pandora Premium). Through Sirius XM Holdings, we have investments in Sirius XM Canada Holdings, Inc. (“Sirius XM Canada”) and SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”), which we account for as equity method investments.

Formula 1 is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary and is also a reportable segment. 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 (“Events”) taking place in different countries around the world each

Table of Contents

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.

Our "Corporate and Other" category includes an investment in Live Nation, corporate expenses and investments and related financial instruments in public companies, which are accounted for at their respective fair market values. Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings"), a consolidated subsidiary, was included in “Corporate and Other” prior to the Split-Off (defined below).

On July 18, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced split-off (the “Split-Off”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“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 — Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock and Liberty Live common stock, and, in 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.

As of September 30, 2023, the Liberty SiriusXM Group is primarily comprised of Liberty’s interest in Sirius XM Holdings, corporate cash, Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 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 approximately $53 million of subsidiary cash.

Sirius XM Holdings is the only operating subsidiary attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. In the event Sirius XM Holdings were to become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, Liberty’s management would evaluate the circumstances at such time and take appropriate steps in the best interest of all of its stockholders, which may not be in the best interest of a particular group or groups when considered independently. In such a situation, Liberty’s management and its board of

I-47

Table of Contents

directors would have several approaches at their disposal, including, but not limited to, the conversion of the Liberty SiriusXM common stock into another tracking stock of Liberty, the reattribution of assets and liabilities among Liberty’s tracking stock groups or the restructuring of Liberty’s tracking stocks to either create a new tracking stock structure or eliminate it altogether.

As of September 30, 2023, the Formula One Group is primarily comprised of Liberty’s interest in Formula 1, cash and Liberty’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. The Formula One Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,470 million as of September 30, 2023, which included $947 million of subsidiary cash.

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, Liberty’s 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and a margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty.

Prior to the Split-Off, the Braves Group was primarily comprised of Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC”), 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.

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 Formula One common stock. Within one-year of the Split-Off, the Company intends to either exchange the shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves 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.

In connection with the Split-Off, Liberty and Atlanta Braves Holdings entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a reorganization agreement, a services agreement, aircraft time sharing agreements, a facilities sharing agreement, a tax sharing agreement and a registration rights agreement. Under these various agreements, Atlanta Braves Holdings reimburses the Company for direct, out-of-pocket expenses and pays a services fee to Liberty (except with respect to the registration rights agreement for which there is no services fee).

Results of Operations—Consolidated

General. Provided in the tables below is information regarding our consolidated operating results and other income and expense, as well as information regarding the contribution to those items from our reportable segments. The "Corporate and other" category consists of those assets or businesses which do not qualify as a separate reportable segment. For a more detailed discussion and analysis of the financial results of our principal reportable segments see "Results of Operations—Businesses" below.

Braves Holdings was a subsidiary of the Company until the Split-Off 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.

Holdings, primarily due to Braves Holdings results only being included in the current year periods through the Split-Off date, and decreases in Sirius XM Holdings revenue, partially offset by increases in Formula 1 revenue. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings and Formula 1.

Operating income (loss). Our consolidated operating income increased $123 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily driven by $106 million and $50 million increases in Sirius XM Holdings and Formula 1 operating results, respectively, partially offset by an $11 million decrease in Braves Holdings operating results, primarily due to Braves Holdings results only being included in the current period through the Split-Off date. Operating income decreased $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily driven by a $29 million decrease in Braves Holdings operating results, primarily due to Braves Holdings results only being included in the current period through the Split-Off date, and a $15 million decrease in Sirius XM Holdings operating results, partially offset by a $58 million improvement in Formula 1 operating results. Decreases in corporate and other operating results were primarily driven by costs associated with the Split-Off and the Reclassification. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings and Formula 1.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards granted to officers, employees and certain third parties of our subsidiaries, Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings, (3) phantom stock appreciation rights granted to officers and employees of our subsidiary, Braves Holdings, pursuant to private equity plans and (4) amortization of restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock unit grants.

We recorded $173 million of stock-based compensation expense for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $11 million. Such amount will be recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Sirius XM Holdings stock options and restricted stock units was $479 million. The Sirius XM Holdings unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

Adjusted OIBDA. To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP (as defined below) financial measure. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs and impairment charges. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our 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 us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. 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

I-51

accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following table provides a reconciliation of Operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA:

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased $23 million and decreased $66 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to $45 million and $26 million increases in Formula 1 and Sirius XM Holdings Adjusted OIBDA, respectively, partially offset by a $35 million decrease in Braves Holdings Adjusted OIBDA, primarily due to Braves Holdings results only being included in the current period through the Split-Off date. The decrease in Adjusted OIBDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a $54 million decrease in Braves Holdings Adjusted OIBDA, primarily due to Braves Holdings only being included in the current period through the Split-Off date, and a $16 million decrease in Sirius XM Holdings Adjusted OIBDA, partially offset by a $41 million increase in Formula 1 Adjusted OIBDA.

Interest expense. Consolidated interest expense increased $17 million and $95 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Interest expense for the Formula One Group increased primarily due to an increase in interest rates on Formula 1’s Senior Loan Facility, interest expense for the Liberty SiriusXM Group increased primarily due to increases in interest rates on the margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock and the Sirius XM Holdings Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Incremental Term Loan. Certain debt was reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Liberty Live Group effective August 3, 2023. The interest related to such debt is reflected in interest expense for the Liberty SiriusXM Group prior to the Reclassification and in interest expense for the Liberty Live Group following the Reclassification.

Liberty issued $1 billion of cash convertible notes and entered into a bond hedge transaction on the same amount of underlying shares in October 2013. These derivatives are marked to fair value on a recurring basis. The primary driver of the change in the fair value of bond hedges is the change in the fair value of the underlying stock.

Other realized and unrealized gains (losses) are primarily driven by changes in the fair value of Formula 1’s interest rate swaps and realized gains (losses) on Formula 1’s interest rate swaps.

Other, net. Other, net income decreased $34 million and $37 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by losses on early extinguishment of debt, partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange losses and an increase in interest and dividend income. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains on the sale of three Professional Development League clubs at Braves Holdings recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, tax related expense pursuant to a tax sharing agreement with Qurate Retail, Inc. and losses on dilution of our investment in Live Nation recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in interest and dividend income.

Income taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had earnings before income taxes of $568 million and $1,037 million, respectively, and income tax expense of $125 million and $239 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had earnings before income taxes of $564 million and $1,818 million, respectively, and income tax expense of $130 million and $414 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized additional tax expense due to the effect of state income taxes, partially offset by tax credits and incentives generated by our alternative energy investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized additional tax expense primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and certain losses that are not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by tax credits and incentives generated by our alternative energy investments and a decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized additional tax expense primarily due to the effect of state income taxes.

Net earnings. We had net earnings of $443 million and $798 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and net earnings of $434 million and $1,404 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Liberty has a controlling interest in Sirius XM Holdings, which has significant cash and cash provided by operating activities, although due to Sirius XM Holdings being a separate public company and the noncontrolling interest, we do not have ready access to its cash, except through dividends. Cash held by Formula 1 is accessible by Liberty, except when a restricted payment (“RP”) test imposed by the first lien term loan and the revolving credit facility at Formula 1 is not met. Pursuant to the RP test, Liberty does not have unlimited access to Formula 1’s cash when the leverage ratio (defined as net debt divided by covenant earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the trailing twelve months) exceeds a certain threshold. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, Formula 1 distributed $300 million to Liberty and the RP test was met, pro forma for such distribution. If distributions are made in the future, the RP test, pro forma for such distributions, would have to be met. As of September 30, 2023, Liberty had $1,075 million available under Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings and $400 million available under Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation. Liberty believes that it currently has appropriate legal structures in place to repatriate foreign cash as tax efficiently as possible and meet the business needs of the Company.

Liberty’s primary uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (excluding cash used by Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings (prior to the Split-Off)) were $419 million of net debt repayments, $239 million of capital expenditures and $137 million of investments in equity securities, which were primarily funded by cash on hand and the quarterly cash dividend from Sirius XM Holdings.

Sirius XM Holdings’ primary uses of cash were additions to property and equipment, repurchase and retirement of outstanding Sirius XM Holdings common stock, dividends paid to stockholders and debt repayments. Sirius XM Holdings’ uses of cash were funded by cash provided by operating activities and borrowings of debt. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Formula 1’s primary use of cash was $69 million of capital expenditures, funded by cash from operations.

Prior to the Split-Off, Braves Holdings’ primary uses of cash were debt service and capital expenditures, funded primarily by cash on hand and cash from operations.

The projected uses of Liberty's cash (excluding Sirius XM Holdings’ and Formula 1’s uses of cash) are primarily capital expenditures, the investment in existing or new businesses, including the acquisition of QuintEvents, LLC, debt service and the potential buyback of common stock under the approved share buyback program. Liberty expects to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, borrowing capacity under margin loans and outstanding or new debt instruments, or dividends or distributions from operating subsidiaries. Liberty expects to receive quarterly cash dividends from Sirius XM Holdings, which are non-taxable because Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings are members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. Liberty may be required to make net payments of income tax liabilities to settle items under discussion with tax authorities.

Sirius XM Holdings’ uses of cash are expected to be capital expenditures, including the construction of replacement satellites, working capital requirements, interest payments, taxes and scheduled maturities of outstanding debt. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors expects to declare regular quarterly dividends. Liberty expects Sirius XM Holdings

to fund its projected uses of cash with cash provided by operations, cash on hand and borrowings under its existing credit facility.

Formula 1’s uses of cash are expected to be capital expenditures, debt service payments and operating expenses. Liberty expects Formula 1 to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand and cash provided by operations.

We believe that the available sources of liquidity are sufficient to cover our projected future uses of cash.

Results of Operations—Businesses

Sirius XM Holdings. Sirius XM Holdings 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 U.S. 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. Satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers, retailers and SiriusXM’s website. The SiriusXM service is also available through its in-car user interface, called “360L,” which combines SiriusXM’s satellite and streaming services into a single, cohesive in-vehicle entertainment experience.

The primary source of revenue for the SiriusXM business is subscription fees, with most of its customers subscribing to monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual plans. SiriusXM also derives revenue from advertising on select non-music channels, which is sold under the SXM Media brand, direct sales of its satellite radios and accessories, and other ancillary services. As of September 30, 2023, the SiriusXM business had approximately 34.0 million subscribers.

In addition to its audio entertainment businesses, SiriusXM provides connected vehicle services to several automakers. These services are designed to enhance the safety, security and driving experience of consumers. SiriusXM also offers a suite of data services that includes graphical weather and fuel prices, a traffic information service and real-time weather services in boats and airplanes. The SiriusXM business also holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada.

The Pandora and Off-platform business operates a music and podcast streaming discovery platform, offering a personalized experience for each listener wherever and whenever they want to listen, whether through computers, tablets, mobile devices, vehicle speakers or connected devices. Pandora enables listeners to create personalized stations and playlists, discover new content, hear artist- and expert-curated playlists, podcasts and select SiriusXM content, as well as search and play songs and albums on-demand. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service (Pandora Plus), and an on-demand subscription service (Pandora Premium). As of September 30, 2023, Pandora had approximately 46.5 million monthly active users and 6.1 million subscribers.

The majority of revenue from Pandora is generated from advertising on its ad-supported radio service which is sold under the SXM Media brand. Pandora also derives subscription revenue from its Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers. Pandora also sells advertising on other audio platforms and in widely distributed podcasts, which are considered to be off-platform services. Pandora has an arrangement with SoundCloud to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries and offer advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. Pandora also has arrangements to serve as the ad sales representative for certain podcasts. In addition, through AdsWizz Inc., Pandora provides a comprehensive digital audio and programmatic advertising technology platform, which connects audio publishers and advertisers with a variety of ad insertion, campaign trafficking, yield optimization, programmatic buying, marketplace and podcast monetization solutions.

The results presented below include the impacts of accounting adjustments for Liberty’s acquisition of Sirius XM Holdings in the current and prior periods.

On November 1, 2021, Liberty entered into an exchange agreement with certain counterparties to acquire an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock in exchange for the issuance by Liberty to the counterparties of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. Following the closing of the exchange on November 3, 2021, Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings became members of the same consolidated tax group. The tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings, dated February 1, 2021, governs the allocation of consolidated and combined tax liabilities and sets forth agreements with respect to other tax matters.

Also on November 1, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings entered into (i) an agreement with Liberty whereby Liberty agreed not to effect any merger with Sirius XM Holdings pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor to such statute) without obtaining the prior approval of a special committee of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, all of whom are independent of Liberty (the “Special Committee”) (or any successor special committee of Sirius XM Holdings’ independent and disinterested directors) and (ii) an agreement regarding certain tax matters relating to the exchange. Each of these agreements was negotiated by the Special Committee with Liberty.

As of September 30, 2023, there is an approximate 16% noncontrolling interest in Sirius XM Holdings, and the net earnings (loss) of Sirius XM Holdings attributable to such noncontrolling interest is eliminated through the noncontrolling interest line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

SiriusXM Subscriber revenue includes self-pay and paid promotional subscriptions, U.S. Music Royalty Fees and other ancillary fees. Subscriber revenue decreased less than 1% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily driven by a reduction in paid promotional revenue resulting from lower overall rates from automakers offering paid promotional subscriptions and lower revenue generated from connected vehicle services, partially offset by an increase in self-pay revenue.

SiriusXM Advertising revenue includes the sale of advertising on SiriusXM’s non-music channels. Advertising revenue decreased approximately 16% and 14% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to a decline in the number of spots sold and aired, primarily on news and entertainment channels.

SiriusXM Equipment revenue includes revenue and royalties from the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories. Equipment revenue decreased approximately 2% and 4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, driven by lower royalty rates, partially offset by increased chipset production.

SiriusXM Other revenue includes service and advisory revenue from Sirius XM Canada, connected vehicle services, and ancillary revenue. Other revenue decreased 13% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, driven by lower royalty revenue generated by Sirius XM Canada and lower revenue generated by SiriusXM’s connected vehicle services.

Pandora and Off-platform subscriber revenue includes fees charged for Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium.

Pandora and Off-platform advertising revenue is generated primarily from audio, display and video advertising from on-platform and off-platform advertising. Pandora and Off-platform advertising revenue increased 2% and 1% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily driven by higher podcasting revenue, partially offset by lower sell-through on the Pandora ad-supported service.

●

Revenue Share and Royalties include royalties for transmitting content, including streaming royalties, as well as automaker, content provider and advertising revenue share.

●

Programming and Content includes costs to acquire, create, promote and produce content.

Customer service and billing costs decreased 6% and 3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, driven by lower call center and personnel-related costs, partially offset by higher transaction costs.

Other costs of services increased 12% and 9% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, driven by higher costs associated with SiriusXM’s 360L platform and streaming. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was partially offset by lower shipping costs. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was also driven by higher inventory write downs.

I-61

Table of Contents

compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher podcast revenue share driven by growth in podcast advertising revenue as well as higher royalty expense due to costs related to an increase in certain web streaming royalty rates.

●

Programming and content includes costs to produce live listener events and promote content. Programming and content costs were relatively flat and increased 21% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher podcast license fees and higher live event costs, partially offset by lower personnel-related costs.

●

Customer service and billing includes transaction fees on subscription purchases through mobile app stores and bad debt expense. Customer service and billing costs increased 5% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily driven by higher bad debt expense.

●

Other includes costs associated with content streaming, maintaining Pandora’s streaming radio and on-demand subscription services and creating and serving advertisements through third party ad servers. Other costs decreased 25% and 35% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, driven by lower colocation and personnel-related costs as well as lower streaming costs resulting from a decline in listener hours.

Subscriber acquisition costs are costs only associated with SiriusXM’s satellite radio and include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers; subsidies paid for chipsets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chipsets; product warranty obligations; and freight. The majority of subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance of acquiring a subscriber.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, subscriber acquisition costs increased 1%, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Higher hardware subsidies driven by installations, which grew due to increased production by automakers, were partially offset by lower commission and hardware subsidy rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding legal settlement) includes costs of marketing, advertising, media and production, including promotional events and sponsorships; cooperative and artist marketing; personnel costs; facilities costs, finance, legal, human resources and information technology costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, selling, general and administrative expense decreased 14% and 11%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in streaming marketing expenditures and marketing to support Sirius XM Holdings’ brands as well as lower personnel-related costs. The decrease for the nine months ended September was partially offset by higher legal costs and higher personnel-related benefits attributed to Sirius XM Holdings’ deferred compensation plan.

Other operating expenses include engineering, design and development costs consisting primarily of compensation and related costs to develop chipsets and new products and services, including streaming and connected vehicle services, research and development for broadcast information systems and costs associated with the incorporation of SiriusXM’s radios into new vehicles manufactured by automakers. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, other operating expenses increased approximately 3%, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, driven by higher cloud hosting costs, partially offset by lower personnel-related costs.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings recorded an impairment of $43 million associated with terminated software projects, $16 million related to certain vacated office spaces, $4 million in connection with furniture and equipment located at the impaired office spaces and $5 million related to personnel severance. Acquisition related costs were $1 million and $2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Stock-based compensation decreased 6% during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to decreases in SiriusXM’s stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 8% and 4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to lower amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by an increase in capitalized software and hardware.

Formula 1. 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 throughout the world. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of entering into race promotion, broadcasting and advertising and sponsorship arrangements. A significant majority of the race promotion, media rights and sponsorship contracts specify payments in advance and annual increases in the fees payable over the course of the contracts. The 2023 World Championship calendar was originally scheduled to have 23 Events. However, following the cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola (the “Imola Event”) due to severe flooding in the region, and confirmation that it would not be replaced in May 2023, 22 Events are scheduled to take place. The 2022 World Championship calendar was also originally scheduled to have 23 Events. However, following the cancellation of the Russian Grand Prix, and confirmation that it would not be replaced in May 2022, only 22 Events took place.

Formula 1’s operating results were as follows:

Primary Formula 1 revenue is derived from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of race promotion fees (earned from granting the rights to host, stage and promote each Event on the World Championship calendar, fees from certain race promoters to license additional commercial rights from Formula

1 to secure Formula 2 and Formula 3 races at their Events and from technical service fees from promoters to support the origination of program footage), media rights fees (earned from licensing the right to broadcast Events and Formula 2 and Formula 3 races on television and other platforms, F1 TV subscriptions and other related services, the origination of program footage, footage from Formula 1’s archives and the licensing of radio broadcast and other ancillary media rights) and sponsorship fees (earned from the sale of World Championship and Event-related advertising and sponsorship rights and the servicing of such rights, rights to advertise on Formula 1’s digital platforms and at non-Championship related events).

Primary Formula 1 revenue increased $166 million and $183 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was partly due to the impact of one more Event taking place during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. In addition, race promotion revenue increased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to higher fees generated from the different mix of events held, with two more races held outside of Europe compared to both corresponding periods in the prior year, and other contractual increases in fees. Media rights revenue also increased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the effect of contractual increases in season-based fees and the continued growth in F1 TV subscription revenue. Sponsorship revenue also increased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to revenue from new sponsors and additional revenue from existing sponsors.

Other Formula 1 revenue is generated from miscellaneous and ancillary sources primarily related to facilitating the shipment of cars and equipment to and from Events outside of Europe, revenue from the sale of tickets to the Formula One Paddock Club at most Events, support races at Events, various television production activities and other ancillary operations. Other Formula 1 revenue increased $6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, driven by additional hospitality revenue generated from the Paddock Club and higher travel revenue and freight income due to the increased number of Events held outside of Europe, partially offset by lower licensing income. Other Formula 1 revenue decreased $10 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to lower freight income, driven by lower air freight charter costs, and lower licensing income, partially offset by higher travel and hospitality revenue.

Team payments	$	(432)	(370)	(888)	(838)
Other costs of Formula 1 revenue		(183)	(124)	(452)	(385)
Cost of Formula 1 revenue	$	(615)	(494)	(1,340)	(1,223)

Cost of Formula 1 revenue increased $121 million and $117 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Team payments are recognized on a pro-rata basis across the Events of the World Championship calendar. The increases in team payments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, were attributable to the expectation of increased team payments for the full year, and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the increase was also due to the pro rata recognition of expected team payments, with one more Event having taken place in the current year period.

Other costs of Formula 1 revenue include costs incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical costs, hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of the Paddock Club, and circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities. Other costs also include annual Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (“FIA”) regulatory fees, advertising and sponsorship commissions and costs

related to Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars, parts and maintenance services, television production and post-production services, advertising production services, digital and social media activities and costs of promoting, organizing and delivering the new Las Vegas Grand Prix and the new F1 Academy series. These costs are largely variable in nature and relate directly to total Formula 1 revenue opportunities. Other costs increased $59 million and $67 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, due to two more races held outside of Europe compared to both corresponding periods in the prior year, and one more Event held during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increases were also driven by higher hospitality costs, driven by cost inflation, higher commissions and partner servicing costs associated with increased Primary F1 revenue streams, higher travel costs, and certain early stage costs of promoting, organizing and delivering the new Las Vegas Grand Prix, together with costs incurred on the new F1 Academy series. The increases during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were partially offset by significantly lower air freight charter costs compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, legal, professional and other advisory fees, bad debt expense, rental expense, information technology costs, insurance premiums, maintenance and utility costs and other general office administration costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6 million and $15 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher personnel, property, information technology and marketing costs, due in part to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, partially offset by lower legal costs and lower foreign currency exchange losses.

Stock-based compensation was flat during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization decreased $5 million and $17 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in amortization expense related to certain intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Formula 1 by Liberty.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices and interest rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to

maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. As of September 30, 2023, our debt is comprised of the following amounts:


	Variable rate debt				Fixed rate debt
	Principal		Weighted avg		Principal		Weighted avg
	amount		interest rate		amount		interest rate

	dollar amounts in millions
Liberty SiriusXM Group	$	1,410	7.2	%	$	10,130	4.1	%
Formula One Group	$	341	7.9	%	$	2,604	3.5	%
Liberty Live Group		NA	NA		$	1,212	2.3	%

The Company is exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our significant holdings in publicly traded securities. We continually monitor changes in stock markets, in general, and changes in the stock prices of our holdings, specifically. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, technological changes, specific industry changes and other factors. We periodically use equity collars and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with certain investment positions. These instruments are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models and other appropriate methods.

At September 30, 2023, the fair value of our marketable equity securities was $167 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at September 30, 2023, the aggregate value of such securities would have been approximately $17 million lower. Additionally, our stock in Live Nation (one of our equity method affiliates), a publicly traded security, is not reflected at fair value in our balance sheet. This security is also subject to market risk that is not directly reflected in our statement of operations, and had the market price of such security been 10% lower at September 30, 2023 the aggregate value of such security would have been $578 million lower.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its chief executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer (the "Executives"), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
