Primary F1 revenue is comprised of (i) race promotion fees, (ii) broadcasting fees and (iii) advertising and sponsorship fees. Seven races took place in both the second quarter of 2018 and 2019, but the specific races held differed.
Race promotion revenue decreased due to the differing fees associated with specific races held in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018, partially offset by rate increases in the underlying contracts. Broadcast revenue increased primarily due to contractual rate increases. Advertising and sponsorship revenue increased due to revenue from new sponsorship agreements entered into beginning in the second half of 2018. Other F1 revenue decreased in the second quarter primarily due to the mix of races, which resulted in lower TV production and Paddock Club revenue.
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA(2) increased in the second quarter as revenue growth more than offset elevated costs. Cost of F1 revenue increased primarily due to higher team payments driven by our improved performance and the pro rata recognition of such payments across the race season. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased modestly primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
F1’s total net debt to covenant OIBDA ratio, as defined in F1’s credit facilities for covenant calculations, was approximately 5.6x as of June 30, 2019, as compared to a maximum allowable leverage ratio of 8.25x. The race calendar variances between 2018 and 2019 resulted in income from 22 races falling in the trailing twelve months measured for F1’s covenant calculations as of June 30, 2019.
The businesses and assets attributed to the Formula One Group consist of 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 July 31, 2019.
BRAVES GROUP - The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Braves Group for the second quarter of 2019. In the second 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 comprised of (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.
There were 41 home games in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 37 home games in the second quarter of 2018.
Baseball revenue per home game grew in the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to increased ticket and concession sales. Development revenue was flat in the second quarter of 2019. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA declined modestly in the second quarter of 2019, as revenue growth was more than offset by elevated operating expenses driven by higher player salaries, increased costs due to the opening of the new spring training facility, scouting expenses and stadium operation costs driven by concessions. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased primarily due to lower special event and personnel costs.
The Formula One Group holds an approximate 15.1% intergroup interest in the Braves Group as of July 31, 2019. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group, the Braves Group outstanding share count as of July 31, 2019 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, six minor league baseball clubs and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ ballpark and mixed-use development project.
Share Repurchases
From May 1, 2019 through July 31, 2019, Liberty Media repurchased approximately 2.2 million Series C Liberty SiriusXM shares (Nasdaq: LSXMK) at an average cost per share of $38.18 for total cash consideration of $85 million. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media is approximately $478 million and can be applied to repurchases of Series A and Series C shares of any of the Liberty Media Corporation tracking stocks.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $138 million in the second quarter as cash from operations and debt issuance at SiriusXM more than offset return of capital at both Liberty SiriusXM Group and SiriusXM. Included in the cash and liquid investments balance attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group at June 30, 2019 is $215 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 unfettered access to SiriusXM’s cash balances.
Total debt attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $343 million during the quarter primarily as a result of net borrowing at SiriusXM, partially offset by repayment under Liberty SiriusXM’s margin loan.
Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Formula One Group decreased $38 million during the quarter, as cash from operations at Formula 1 was more than offset by corporate level interest payments at Formula One Group. Total debt at Formula One Group was flat in the quarter.
Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Braves Group decreased $36 million during the quarter as cash from operations were more than offset by capital expenditures related to the mixed-use development and debt repayment. Total debt attributed to the Braves Group decreased $10 million during the quarter primarily due to paying down the team revolver. The second phase of the Battery Atlanta mixed-use development is expected to cost approximately $200 million, which the Braves and affiliated entities expect to fund through a mix of approximately $55 million in equity and approximately $145 million in debt.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
SCHEDULE 1
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, 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 by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. 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 June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2018, SiriusXM recorded a $69 million charge related to a legal settlement that resolved all outstanding claims, including ongoing audits, under its statutory license for sound recordings for the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2017. |
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 net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. SiriusXM adjusts EBITDA to exclude the impact of other expense (income) as well as certain other charges discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or adjusts for (if applicable): (i) certain adjustments as a result of the purchase price accounting for the XM Merger and the Pandora acquisition, (ii) predecessor net income adjusted for certain expenses, including depreciation and amortization, other income (loss), and share-based payment expense for January 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, (iii) share-based payment expense and (iv) other significant operating expense (income) that do not relate to the on-going performance of its 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 operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. SiriusXM believes investors use adjusted EBITDA to estimate 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, acquisition related costs, 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 XM Merger and the Pandora acquisition. 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:
