LIBERTY SIRIUSXM GROUP – The following table provides the financial results attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group for the first quarter of 2018.

The increases in Liberty SiriusXM Group revenue, operating income and adjusted OIBDA(2) were primarily attributable to an increase in SiriusXM’s daily weighted average number of subscribers. Revenue growth at Liberty SiriusXM Group

was partially offset by the impact of the adoption of a new revenue recognition accounting standard, as described in detail in Liberty Media’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

SiriusXM is a separate publicly traded company and additional information about SiriusXM can be obtained through its website and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. SiriusXM reported its stand-alone first quarter results on April 25, 2018. For additional detail on SiriusXM’s financial results for the first quarter, please see SiriusXM’s earnings release posted to their Investor Relations website. For presentation purposes on page one of this release, we include the results of SiriusXM, as reported by SiriusXM, without regard to the purchase accounting adjustments applied by us for purposes of our financial statements. Liberty Media believes the presentation of financial results as reported by SiriusXM is useful to investors as the comparability of those results is best understood in the context of SiriusXM's historical financial presentation.

The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group consist primarily of Liberty Media’s interest in SiriusXM.

FORMULA ONE GROUP – The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Formula One Group for the first quarter of 2018. In the first quarter, the Formula One Group incurred approximately $7 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense).

“The 2018 season has already seen exciting races with a number of different podium finishers,” said Chase Carey, Formula 1 Chairman and CEO. “We hosted, with Heineken, our first fan festival for 2018 in Shanghai around the Chinese Grand Prix. We look forward to heightened fan engagement with the launch of F1 TV Pro this weekend which will enable unprecedented access and views of the race, customizable by the user. We continue to have productive conversations with the teams as we shape the future long term vision for F1.”

Primary F1 revenue represents the majority of F1’s revenue and is derived from (i) race promotion fees, (ii) broadcasting fees and (iii) advertising and sponsorship fees.

Broadcast revenue decreased due to the impact of slightly lower proportionate recognition of season-based income during the quarter (1/21 races in the first quarter of 2018 compared to 1/20 races in the first quarter of 2017). Race promotion and advertising and sponsorship revenue increased due to fee inflation in underlying contracts. Advertising and sponsorship revenue was impacted by the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard (ASC 606), which accelerated the recognition of certain fees related to F1’s Global Partner and Official Supplier contracts. These fee elements were previously recognized pro-rata with the race calendar, but the majority are now being recognized evenly over the calendar year. This change provided a modest tailwind to advertising and sponsorship revenue in the first quarter of 2018 but is expected to be neutral on a full calendar year basis.

Other F1 revenue increased during the first quarter primarily due to the sale of the new F2 chassis and component parts to competing F2 teams as 2018 marks the start of the next three year vehicle cycle for the championship.

Operating loss increased and adjusted OIBDA decreased in the first quarter. Cost of F1 revenue increased due to costs associated with providing the chassis and component parts to F2 teams, partially offset by reduced team payments due to the pro rata recognition of such payments during the season. Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a result of costs associated with additional headcount, new corporate offices, marketing and research.

F1’s total net debt to covenant OIBDA ratio, as defined in F1’s credit facilities for covenant calculations, was approximately 6.8x as of March 31, 2018, as compared to a maximum allowable leverage ratio of 8.75x.

The businesses and assets attributed to the Formula One Group consist of all of Liberty Media’s businesses and assets other than those attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Braves Group, including Liberty Media’s subsidiary F1, its interest in Live Nation, minority equity investments and an intergroup interest in the Braves Group. There are approximately 9.1 million notional shares of the Braves Group underlying the Formula One Group’s 15.1% intergroup interest as of April 30, 2018.

BRAVES GROUP - The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Braves Group for the first quarter of 2018. In the first quarter, approximately $2 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense) was allocated to the Braves Group.

Baseball revenue is derived from (i) ballpark operations, (ii) local and national broadcast rights and (iii) licensing and other shared MLB revenue streams. Development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income.

Baseball revenue increased in the first quarter primarily driven by ballpark operations revenue, with three home games in the first quarter of 2018 compared to no home games in the first quarter of 2017. Development revenue was nominal in the first quarter of 2017 as the project was still ramping.

Operating loss increased compared to the prior year primarily as a result of increased depreciation and amortization expense due to the depreciation of assets associated with the Braves mixed-use facility and SunTrust Park. Adjusted OIBDA decreased primarily driven by increased operating expense due to higher player salaries and the acceleration of player salary expense as a result of released and injured players, which more than offset the increase in ballpark operations revenue. Selling, general and administrative expense also increased primarily due to higher facilities, marketing and advertising costs associated with baseball and ballpark operations and the mixed-use facility.

The Formula One Group holds an approximate 15.1% intergroup interest in the Braves Group as of April 30, 2018. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group, the Braves Group outstanding share count as of April 30, 2018 would have been 60 million.

The businesses and assets attributed to the Braves Group consist primarily of Liberty Media’s subsidiary the Braves, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club, five minor league baseball clubs and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ ballpark and mixed-use development project.

Share Repurchases

From February 1, 2018 through April 30, 2018, Liberty Media repurchased approximately 2.4 million Series C Liberty SiriusXM shares (Nasdaq: LSXMK) at an average cost per share of $41.16 for total cash consideration of $100 million. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media is approximately $1.2 billion and can be applied to repurchases of Series A and Series C shares of any of the Liberty Media Corporation tracking stocks.

Includes $69 million and $79 million of cash and liquid investments held at SiriusXM as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

(2)

Includes $165 million and $140 million of cash and liquid investments held at Formula 1 as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

(6)

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $43 million during the quarter. Additional borrowing at Liberty SiriusXM Group combined with cash from operations at SiriusXM more than offset SiriusXM's stock repurchases and dividend payment, investments in iHeart debt securities at Liberty SiriusXM Group and stock repurchases at Liberty SiriusXM Group. Included in the cash and liquid investments balance attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group at March 31, 2018 is $79 million held at SiriusXM. Although SiriusXM is a consolidated subsidiary, it

is a separate public company with a significant non-controlling interest, therefore Liberty Media does not have ready access to SiriusXM’s cash balance.

Total debt attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $464 million during the quarter. On March 6, 2018, Liberty Media closed a private offering for $400 million of 2.125% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048. A total of 49.9 million shares of SiriusXM common stock are attributable to the debentures. Initially, 124.6922 shares of SiriusXM common stock are attributable to each $1,000 original principal amount of debentures, representing an initial exchange price of $8.02 for each share of SiriusXM. Net proceeds are expected to be used for repurchases of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, possible acquisitions or investments and other general corporate purposes.

Also in March 2018, Liberty refinanced its margin loan attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group for a similar financial instrument with a term loan of $250 million and a $1.1 billion undrawn line of credit for total capacity of $1.35 billion. $750 million was drawn on the margin loan facility as of March 31, 2018. The margin loan matures in March 2020. There are 1 billion shares of SiriusXM common stock pledged as collateral to the margin loan.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Formula One Group decreased $12 million during the quarter, primarily as a result of debt repayments and interest and tax payments, which were largely offset by cash from operations.

Total debt attributed to Formula One Group decreased $201 million during the quarter primarily as a result of the repayment of debt at F1. On January 31, 2018, F1 refinanced its first lien term loan. Concurrent with the refinancing, F1 repaid $400 million of the first lien term loan using a combination of $150 million of excess cash on the balance sheet and $250 million drawn under its available revolving credit facility. The margin on the first lien term loan was reduced from 3.00% to 2.50%. Subsequently, in March 2018, F1 repaid $50 million of its revolving credit facility loans using excess cash on the balance sheet.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Braves Group decreased $18 million in the quarter as capital expenditures related to the mixed-use development and net debt repayments more than offset cash from operations.

Total debt attributed to the Braves Group decreased by $64 million primarily as a result of repayment of the Braves’ team revolver, partially offset by additional borrowings for funding the mixed-use development.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

SCHEDULE 1

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Braves Group and the Formula One Group, together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Media defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding all stock based compensation, and excludes from that definition depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment charges and separately reported legal settlements that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP.

Liberty Media believes adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business' ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty Media views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty Media's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted OIBDA for Liberty Media to operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

SCHEDULE 2

This press release also includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA of SiriusXM, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by SiriusXM, together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone net income, as determined under GAAP. SiriusXM defines adjusted EBITDA as follows: EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. SiriusXM adjusts EBITDA to exclude the impact of other income as well as certain other charges discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes (if applicable): (i) certain adjustments as a result of the purchase price accounting for the merger of Sirius and XM, (ii) share-based payment expense and (iii) other significant operating expense (income) that do not relate to the on-going performance of SiriusXM’s business. SiriusXM believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the underlying trend of its operating performance, which provides useful information about its business apart from the costs associated with its capital structure and purchase price accounting. SiriusXM believes investors find this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing past operating performance with current performance and comparing its operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. SiriusXM believes investors use adjusted EBITDA to estimate its current enterprise value and to make investment decisions. As a result of large capital investments in SiriusXM’s satellite radio system, its results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. SiriusXM believes the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful as it is not directly related to the operational conditions of its business. SiriusXM also believes the exclusion of the legal settlements and reserves related to the historical use of sound recordings, loss on extinguishment of debt and loss on disposal of assets, to the extent they occur during the period, is useful as they are significant expenses not incurred as part of normal operations for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to SiriusXM’s statements of comprehensive income of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense and certain purchase price accounting for the merger of Sirius and XM. SiriusXM endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net income as disclosed in SiriusXM’s unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, SiriusXM’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income to the adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:

SCHEDULE 3

This press release also includes a presentation of free cash flow of SiriusXM, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by SiriusXM, together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone cash flow provided by operating activities, as determined under GAAP. SiriusXM’s free cash flow is derived from cash flow provided by operating activities, net of additions to property and equipment and restricted and other investment activity. Free cash flow is a metric that SiriusXM’s management and board of directors use to evaluate the cash generated by its operations, net of capital expenditures and other investment activity. In a capital intensive business, with significant investments in satellites, SiriusXM looks at its operating cash flow, net of these investing cash outflows, to determine cash available for future subscriber acquisition and capital expenditures, to repurchase or retire debt, to acquire other companies and to evaluate its ability to return capital to stockholders. SiriusXM excludes from free cash flow certain items that do not relate to the on-going performance of its business, such as cash outflows for acquisitions, strategic investments and net loan activity with related parties. SiriusXM believes free cash flow is an indicator of the long-term financial stability of its business. Free cash flow, which is reconciled to "Net cash provided by operating activities," is a Non-GAAP financial measure. This measure can be calculated by deducting amounts under the captions "Additions to property and equipment" and deducting or adding Restricted and other investment activity from "Net cash provided by operating activities" from the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. Free cash flow should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures and may not be comparable to free cash flow measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow should be viewed as a supplemental measure rather than an alternative measure of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with

GAAP. Free cash flow is limited and does not represent remaining cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt maturities. SiriusXM believes free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding its current cash flow, along with other GAAP measures (such as cash flows from operating and investing activities), to determine its financial condition, and to compare its operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media companies. Free cash flow is calculated as follows:
