“Our employees and management teams have demonstrated strong leadership navigating the health and financial challenges presented by COVID-19. We saw the highly anticipated returns to racing at Formula 1 and to the field for the Atlanta Braves, while SiriusXM posted solid results and Live Nation completed a credit agreement amendment which enhanced flexibility,” said Greg Maffei, Liberty Media President and CEO.
Note on COVID-19
Liberty Media continues to monitor and assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, wholly-owned businesses and various investments. The global spread of COVID-19 prompted many countries throughout the world to take aggressive actions, including imposing travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, closing public attractions and restaurants, and mandating social distancing practices. As a result, the start of the 2020 Formula 1 (“F1”) season was delayed until the beginning of July 2020 and the Major League Baseball season was delayed until the end of July 2020. Fans were not able to attend when the seasons resumed, and their attendance at future events is currently under review. In addition, in mid-March 2020, Live Nation suspended all large-scale live entertainment events. Liberty Media and our portfolio companies will continue to comply with the recommendations of various government agencies and focus on the safety of our employees, partners and customers.
Liberty Media, SiriusXM and Formula 1 are in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2020. Braves Holdings is expected to be out of compliance with certain debt covenants as of June 30, 2020, and is in ongoing discussions with counterparties to its operating credit facilities and debt related to ballpark funding to obtain waivers and covenant modifications.
Corporate Updates
On April 22, 2020, Liberty Media completed the reattribution of certain assets and liabilities between the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Formula One Group (the “Reattribution”). Detailed information can be found in the press release and slide presentation issued April 23, 2020. The Reattribution is reflected in Liberty Media’s second quarter financial results on a prospective basis beginning April 22, 2020.
On June 16, 2020, Liberty completed a rights offering of Series C Liberty SiriusXM (“LSXMK”) common stock. The rights offering was fully subscribed, with 29.6 million LSXMK shares issued to those rights holders exercising basic and, if applicable, oversubscription privileges. The proceeds from the rights offering, which aggregated approximately $754 million, were used to repay the outstanding balance and accrued interest on the intergroup loan owed by the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group (the “Intergroup Loan”).

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to the same period in 2019.

We reengaged with added purpose and determination, announcing our #WeRaceAsOne platform, underpinning our sustainability, diversity & inclusion and community strategies. #WeRaceAsOne was launched as an initiative to further our sustainability efforts, to stand united against racism, in fight against COVID-19 and to further address inequality and diversity in Formula 1. We are thankful to the FIA, teams, promoters, our employees and other key partners that made this return to racing possible.”

Primary F1 revenue is comprised of (i) race promotion fees, (ii) broadcasting fees and (iii) advertising and sponsorship fees. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there were no F1 races held in the second quarter of 2020. The 2020 F1 season commenced the weekend of July 3rd and is expected to continue through December with a target calendar of 15 to 18 races. F1 and its partners are currently evaluating plans for a reduced number of fans to safely return to certain races in some capacity in 2020.
Since there were no events held during the second quarter of 2020, revenue recognition was limited, with recognized primary F1 revenue in the period consisting only of the elements of sponsorship contracts associated with non-race related rights. No race promotion fees nor broadcasting fees were recognized. Similarly, other F1 revenue decreased due to zero revenue being generated from the Paddock Club and other event-based and television production activities.
Operating loss increased and Adjusted OIBDA(2) decreased in the second quarter. There was no team payment expense recorded, since such payments are recognized on a pro-rata basis as races take place on the calendar. Other cost of F1 revenue is largely variable in nature and mostly relates directly to revenue opportunities. These costs decreased primarily due to no races taking place and the deferral of non-critical expenses. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased due to lower personnel costs and lower discretionary marketing expenditures, partially offset by the effects of foreign exchange related losses. F1 implemented certain cost cutting measures in the second quarter, including the elimination or deferral of non-essential expenditures, salary reductions and lower bonus accruals. F1 also utilized UK government-supported furloughs in respect of approximately 50% of its employee base for varying periods between April 3, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Personnel costs are expected to return to more normalized levels in the third quarter as most furloughed staff returned to work in advance of the F1 season commencement.
The Liberty SiriusXM Group holds an approximate 2.2% intergroup interest (5.3 million notional shares) in the Formula One Group as of July 31, 2020. These shares are not included in the outstanding share count of Formula One Group in Liberty Media’s most recent Form 10-Q. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying this intergroup interest, the Formula One Group outstanding share count as of July 31, 2020 would have been 237 million.
The businesses and assets attributed to the Formula One Group consist of Liberty Media’s subsidiary F1 and other minority investments, including AT&T, and an inter-group interest in the Braves Group.
BRAVES GROUP - The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Braves Group for the second quarter of 2020. In the second quarter, approximately $3 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 (ticket sales, concessions, corporate sales, retail, suites, premium seat fees and postseason), (ii) local broadcast rights and (iii) national broadcast rights, licensing and other shared MLB revenue streams. Development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, MLB postponed the start of the 2020 season until late July. The regular season is scheduled for 60 games, with the Braves opening game played on July 24th. It is currently unknown if fans will be allowed to attend at any point during the season.
Baseball revenue decreased in the second quarter of 2020 driven by the postponement of the 2020 season and a corresponding reduction to all primary sources of revenue, including the delay in recognizing local and national broadcasting revenue. The decrease in development revenue was primarily driven by the deferral of rental income from certain tenants at the mixed-use development.
Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA decreased in the second quarter due to lower revenue, partially offset by decreased operating expenses. With the postponement of the 2020 season, operating expense decreased primarily due to the delay in recognition of player salaries and reductions in other facility and game day expenses. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased due to the delay in certain marketing initiatives.
The Formula One Group holds an approximate 11.3% intergroup interest (6.8 million notional shares) and the Liberty SiriusXM Group holds an approximate 3.8% intergroup interest (2.3 million notional shares) in the Braves Group as of July 31, 2020. These shares are not included in the outstanding share count of the Braves Group in Liberty Media’s most recent Form 10-Q. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying these intergroup interests, the Braves Group outstanding share count as of July 31, 2020 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
Liberty Media did not repurchase shares from May 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media as of August 1, 2020 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.

(7) |
Includes SiriusXM revolving credit facility, undrawn as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. |
Total cash, liquid investments and restricted cash attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $1.5 billion in the second quarter as cash from operations at SiriusXM, cash generated from the LSXMK rights offering and additional borrowings at both SiriusXM and Liberty SiriusXM more than offset return of capital at SiriusXM, capital expenditures and cash reattributed to the Formula One Group in the Reattribution (including the repayment of the Intergroup Loan). Included in the cash, liquid investments and restricted cash balance attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group at June 30, 2020 is $1.8 billion held at SiriusXM, prior to the redemption of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of debt that was completed on July 9, 2020 (described below). 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. Liberty SiriusXM Group received $42 million of dividends from SiriusXM during the quarter.
Total debt attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $3.3 billion during the quarter driven by new debt issuance at SiriusXM, additional borrowing under the SiriusXM margin loan and the impact of the Reattribution. Subsequent to quarter end, on July 9, 2020, SiriusXM used the net proceeds from their new debt issuance, together with cash on hand, to redeem $500 million aggregate principal amount of their outstanding 4.625% Notes due 2023 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of their outstanding 5.375% Notes due 2025.
Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Formula One Group increased $673 million during the quarter. Corporate cash at Formula One Group increased $1.4 billion due to cash received in the Reattribution. Cash at F1 decreased $687 million during the quarter primarily due to the repayment of F1’s revolving credit facility, cash used in operations and cash paid for interest.
Total debt at Formula One Group decreased $1.8 billion in the quarter due to the repayment of F1’s revolving credit facility and the impact of the Reattribution, partially offset by additional debt incurred for corporate activity.
On June 29, 2020, Liberty announced an amendment to F1’s $2.9 billion first lien term loan and the $500 million first lien revolving credit facility. The amendment provides that, subject to compliance by F1 with certain additional conditions, the net leverage financial covenant will not apply until the quarter ending March 31, 2022. The maximum allowable net financial leverage had previously been 8.25x. The relevant conditions applicable to F1 include the maintenance of minimum liquidity of $200 million (comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available revolving credit facility commitments at F1) and certain restrictions on dividends, other payments and the incurrence of additional debt. There is no limitation on the Formula One Group’s ability to contribute cash to F1. F1 retains the ability to recommence the requirement to test and comply with the net leverage financial covenant prior to the quarter ending March 31, 2022 and, in which case, the relevant additional conditions will cease to apply. The $500 million revolving credit facility is currently undrawn.
Total cash, liquid investments and restricted cash attributed to the Braves Group decreased $14 million during the quarter as capital expenditures related to the mixed-use development and operating needs at the Braves more than offset additional borrowing. Total debt attributed to the Braves Group increased $20 million during the quarter primarily due to additional borrowing to fund the mixed-use development. The second phase of the Battery Atlanta mixed-use development is currently on-time and on-budget. It is expected to cost approximately $200 million, of which the Braves and affiliated entities have already funded approximately $55 million in equity and $50 million in debt, with approximately $95 million incremental debt funding remaining. As previously disclosed, Braves Holdings is expected to be out of compliance with certain debt covenants as of June 30, 2020. Braves Holdings is in ongoing discussions with counterparties to its operating credit facilities and debt related to ballpark funding to obtain waivers and covenant modifications.

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 operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs and impairment charges.
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, 2019 and June 30, 2020, 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 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, (iii) share-based payment expense and (iv) 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 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 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, acquisition related costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt, to the extent they occur during the period, is useful as they are significant expenses not incurred as part of SiriusXM’s 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:
