(1) Basis of Presentation

QVC, Inc. (unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company" and "QVC" refer to QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications. In the United States, QVC's live programming is distributed via its nationally televised shopping program 24 hours per day, 364 days per year ("QVC-U.S."). Internationally, QVC's program services are based in Japan ("QVC-Japan"), Germany ("QVC-Germany"), the United Kingdom ("QVC-U.K.") and Italy ("QVC-Italy"). QVC-Japan distributes live programming 24 hours per day, QVC-Germany distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming and QVC-U.K. distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming. QVC-Italy distributes programming live for 17 hours per day on satellite and digital terrestrial television and an additional seven hours per day of recorded programming on satellite and seven hours per day of general interest programming on digital terrestrial television.

The Company also has a joint venture with China Broadcasting Corporation, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio (''CNR''). The Company owns a 49% interest in a CNR subsidiary, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. (''CNRS''). CNRS distributes live programming for 15 hours per day and recorded programming for nine hours per day. This joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment recorded as equity in (losses) earnings of investee in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, the Company's Japanese operations are conducted through a venture with Mitsui & Co. LTD ("Mitsui") for a television and multimedia retailing service in Japan. QVC-Japan is owned 60% by the Company and 40% by Mitsui. The Company and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. For both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $25 million, respectively.

We are an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty") (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA and LVNTB), which owns interests in a broad range of digital commerce businesses. We are attributed to the Liberty Interactive tracking stock, which tracks the assets and liabilities of Liberty's Interactive Group (the "Interactive Group"). The Interactive Group does not represent a separate legal entity; rather, it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that are attributed to that group. Liberty also attributes to its Interactive Group those businesses primarily focused on digital commerce and its approximate 38% ownership interest in HSN, Inc. ("HSN"), one of our two closest televised shopping competitors.

In October 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to recapitalize its Interactive Group tracking stock into two new tracking stocks, one (currently the Liberty Interactive common stock) to be renamed the QVC Group common stock and the other to be designated as the Liberty Digital Commerce common stock. The Digital Commerce Group would have had attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Inc. ("Provide"), Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, CommerceHub and the Evite.com business, along with cash and certain liabilities. The QVC Group, which is currently known as the Interactive Group, would have attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities.

On July 30, 2014, Liberty announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which FTD Companies, Inc. ("FTD") will acquire Provide. FTD and Liberty expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2014. Liberty still plans to create the QVC Group tracking stock but in light of the pending Provide transaction, and other factors, management is reevaluating the optimal structure and best alignment of the Digital Commerce Group. As a result, the timing of the transition to the QVC Group has been delayed.

On April 16, 2014, QVC announced plans to expand its global presence into France. Similar to its other markets, QVC plans to offer a highly immersive digital shopping experience, with strong integration across e-commerce, TV, mobile and social platforms, with the launch scheduled for the second quarter of 2015.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(unaudited)

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. 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 U.S. 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in QVC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Estimates include, but are not limited to, sales returns, uncollectible receivables, inventory obsolescence, depreciable lives of fixed assets, internally-developed software, valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Interest is payable semi-annually.

(7) Leases and Transponder Service Arrangements

Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases and capital transponder leases with initial terms of one year or more at June 30, 2014 consisted of the following:

(in millions)	Capital transponders		Operating leases
Remainder of 2014	$	7	10

The Company has entered into ten separate agreements with transponder suppliers to transmit its signals in the U.S., Germany and the U.K. at an aggregate monthly cost of $1 million. Depreciation expense related to the transponders was $3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, depreciation expense related to the transponders was $6 million, respectively. Total future minimum capital lease payments of $80 million include $7 million of imputed interest. The transponder service agreements for our U.S. transponders expire in 2019 through 2020. The transponder service agreements for our international transponders expire in December 2014 through 2022.

Expenses for operating leases, principally for data processing equipment and facilities and for satellite uplink service agreements, amounted to $7 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, expenses for operating leases was $14 million, respectively.

(8) Income Taxes

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision by applying its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences as a result of differences between amounts measured and recognized in accordance with tax laws and financial accounting standards, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on the prior quarters is included in the tax expense for the current quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a tax provision of $83 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a tax provision of $157 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.5%. These rates differ from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% due primarily to state tax expense.

The amounts of the tax-related balances due to Liberty at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $22 million and $78 million, respectively, and were included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company previously entered into a Tax Liability Allocation and Indemnification Agreement (the “Tax Agreement”) with Liberty. The Tax Agreement establishes the methodology for the calculation and payment of income taxes in connection with the consolidation of the Company with Liberty for income tax purposes. Generally, the Tax Agreement provides that the Company will pay Liberty an amount equal to the tax liability, if any, that it would have if it were to file as a consolidated group separate and apart from Liberty, with exceptions for the treatment and timing of certain items, including but not limited to deferred intercompany transactions, credits, and net operating and capital losses. To the extent that the separate company tax expense is different from the payment terms of the Tax Agreement, the difference is recorded as either a dividend or capital contribution.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

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 the amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Network and information systems, including the Internet and telecommunication systems, third party delivery services and other technologies are critical to our business activities. Substantially all our customer orders, fulfillment and delivery services are dependent upon the use of network and information systems, including the use of third party telecommunication and delivery service providers. If information systems including the Internet or telecommunication services are disrupted, or if the third party delivery services experience a disruption in their transportation delivery services, we could face a significant disruption in fulfilling our customer orders and shipment of our products. We have active disaster recovery programs in place to help mitigate risks associated with these critical business activities.

(10) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported or disclosed at fair value, U.S. 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, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value were as follows:

			Fair value measurements at June 30, 2014 using
(in millions)	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)	Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)	Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Current assets:
Cash equivalents	$	463	463	—	—
Long-term liabilities:
Debt (note 6)	4,071		—	4,071	—

			Fair value measurements at December 31, 2013 using

Current assets:
Cash equivalents	$	342	342	—	—
Long-term liabilities:
Debt (note 6)	3,783		—	3,783	—

The majority of the Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are debt instruments with quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the financial instruments are reported in the foregoing tables as Level 2 fair value instruments.

(11) Information about QVC's Operating Segments

Each of the Company's operating segments are retailers of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs as well as via the Internet and mobile applications in certain markets. The Company has operations in the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. The Company has identified five reportable segments: the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy.

The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as net revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per subscriber equivalent. The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation). The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its segments, including the ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking among our businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP.

(13) Subsequent Events

(14) Guarantor/Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information

The following information contains the condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company, the parent on a stand-alone basis (QVC, Inc.), the combined subsidiary guarantors (Affiliate Relations Holdings, Inc.; Affiliate Investment, Inc.; AMI 2, Inc.; ER Marks, Inc.; QVC International LLC; QVC Rocky Mount, Inc. and QVC San Antonio, LLC) and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries are majority-owned by QVC International LLC, which is a guarantor subsidiary.

These condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company's financial information on the same basis of accounting as the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, such as management fees, royalty revenue and expense, interest income and expense and gains on intercompany asset transfers. Goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to the subsidiaries based on management’s estimates. Certain costs have been partially allocated to all of the subsidiaries of the Company.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, an intangible asset held by certain non-guarantor subsidiaries was sold to QVC, Inc. resulting in a gain of $20 million reflected in intercompany interest and other income for the non-guarantor subsidiaries and also included in equity in earnings of subsidiaries for the subsidiary guarantors.  The gain is eliminated in the eliminations column.  The impact of these earnings has been eliminated in the presentation of intangible assets and equity in earnings of subsidiaries of the parent company.

The subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company. All guarantees are full and unconditional and are joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from its U.S. subsidiaries, including the guarantors, by dividend or loan. The Company has not presented separate notes and other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors as the Company has determined that such material information is available in the notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company adjusted the previously reported consolidating financial statements to correctly classify transactions among QVC Inc., the combined subsidiary guarantors and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of operations:

• attributed net revenue of $58 million and operating expenses of $9 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2013;

• recognized equal and offsetting increases in the equity in earnings of subsidiaries of QVC, Inc. with a corresponding elimination for the three months ended June 30, 2013;

• attributed net revenue of $112 million, cost of goods sold of $11 million and operating expenses of $17 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2013; and

• recognized equal and offsetting increases in the equity in earnings of subsidiaries of QVC, Inc. with a corresponding elimination for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

• attributed net cash provided by operating activities of $83 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries primarily related to revenue net of cost of goods sold and operating expenses;

• decreased net cash provided by investing activities of $34 million of QVC, Inc. with an equal and offsetting elimination; and

• increased net cash provided by financing activities of $117 million of QVC, Inc. and decreased net cash used in financing activities of $83 million of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, all with equal and offsetting eliminations.

The adjustments had no impact to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for any current and previously reported period.

The increase in tax expense of the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an unfavorable tax audit settlement in one of our European subsidiaries. This also resulted in a tax benefit for QVC, Inc. as a result of the corresponding foreign tax credit in the U.S.

For additional risk factors, please see Part I, Item I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. These forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

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, 2013.

Overview

QVC, Inc. (unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company" and "QVC" refer to QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications. In the United States, QVC's live programming is distributed via its nationally televised shopping program 24 hours per day, 364 days per year ("QVC-U.S."). Internationally, QVC's program services are based in Japan ("QVC-Japan"), Germany ("QVC-Germany"), the United Kingdom ("QVC-U.K.") and Italy ("QVC-Italy"). QVC-Japan distributes live programming 24 hours per day, QVC-Germany distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming and QVC-U.K. distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming. QVC-Italy distributes programming live for 17 hours per day on satellite and digital terrestrial television and an additional seven hours per day of recorded programming on satellite and seven hours per day of general interest programming on digital terrestrial television.

The Company also has a joint venture with China Broadcasting Corporation, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio (''CNR''). The Company owns a 49% interest in a CNR subsidiary, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. (''CNRS''). CNRS distributes live programming for 15 hours per day and recorded programming for nine hours per day. This joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment recorded as equity in (losses) earnings of investee in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, the Company's Japanese operations are conducted through a venture with Mitsui & Co. LTD ("Mitsui") for a television and multimedia retailing service in Japan. QVC-Japan is owned 60% by the Company and 40% by Mitsui. The Company and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. For both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $25 million, respectively.

We are an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty") (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA and LVNTB), which owns interests in a broad range of digital commerce businesses. We are currently attributed to the Liberty Interactive tracking stock, which tracks the assets and liabilities of Liberty's Interactive Group (the "Interactive Group"). The Interactive Group does not represent a separate legal entity; rather, it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that are attributed to that group. Liberty also attributes to its Interactive Group those businesses primarily focused on digital commerce and its approximate 38% ownership interest in HSN, Inc. ("HSN"), one of our two closest televised shopping competitors.

In October 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to recapitalize its Interactive Group tracking stock into two new tracking stocks, one (currently the Liberty Interactive common stock) to be renamed the QVC Group common stock and the other to be designated as the Liberty Digital Commerce common stock. The Digital Commerce Group would have had attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Inc. ("Provide"), Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, CommerceHub and the Evite.com business, along with cash and certain liabilities. The QVC Group, which is currently known as the Interactive Group, would have attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities.

On July 30, 2014, Liberty announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which FTD Companies, Inc. ("FTD") will acquire Provide. FTD and Liberty expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2014. Liberty still plans to create the QVC Group tracking stock but in light of the pending Provide transaction, and other factors, management is reevaluating the optimal structure and best alignment of the Digital Commerce Group. As a result, the timing of the transition to the QVC Group has been delayed.

I-28

On April 16, 2014, QVC announced plans to expand its global presence into France. Similar to its other markets, QVC plans to offer a highly immersive digital shopping experience, with strong integration across e-commerce, TV, mobile and social platforms, with the launch scheduled for the second quarter of 2015.

Strategies and challenges of business units

QVC's goal is to become the preeminent global multimedia shopping community for people who love to shop, and to offer a shopping experience that is as much about entertainment and enrichment as it is about buying. QVC's objective is to provide an integrated shopping experience that utilizes all forms of media including television, the Internet and mobile devices. QVC intends to employ several strategies to achieve these goals and objectives. Among these strategies are to (i) extend the breadth, relevance and exposure of the QVC brand; (ii) source products that represent unique quality and value; (iii) create engaging presentation content in televised programming, mobile and online; (iv) leverage customer loyalty and continue multi-platform expansion; and (v) create a compelling and differentiated customer experience. In addition, QVC expects to expand globally by leveraging its existing systems, infrastructure and skills in other countries around the world.

QVC's future net revenue growth will primarily depend on international expansion, sales growth from e-commerce and mobile platforms, additions of new customers from households already receiving QVC's television programming and increased spending from existing customers. QVC's future net revenue may also be affected by (i) the willingness of cable television and direct-to-home satellite system operators to continue carrying QVC's programming service; (ii) QVC's ability to maintain favorable channel positioning, which may become more difficult due to governmental action or from distributors converting analog customers to digital; (iii) changes in television viewing habits because of personal video recorders, video-on-demand and Internet video services; and (iv) general economic conditions.

The prolonged economic uncertainty in various regions of the world in which our subsidiaries and affiliates operate could adversely affect demand for our products and services since a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Global financial markets continue to experience disruptions, including increased volatility and diminished liquidity and credit availability. The world has experienced a global macroeconomic downturn, and if economic and financial market conditions in the U.S. or other key markets, including Japan and Europe, remain uncertain, persist, or deteriorate further, our customers may respond by suspending, delaying, or reducing their discretionary spending. A suspension, delay or reduction in discretionary spending could adversely affect revenue. Accordingly, our ability to increase or maintain revenue and earnings could be adversely affected to the extent that relevant economic environments remain weak or decline further. Such weak economic conditions may also inhibit our expansion into new markets. We currently are unable to predict the extent of any of these potential adverse effects.

Net revenue

Net revenue was generated in the following geographical areas:

	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
(in millions)	2014		2013	2014	2013
QVC-U.S.	$	1,352	1,312	2,657	2,609

Consolidated QVC	$	2,014	1,961	4,000	3,935

I-30

QVC's consolidated net revenue increased 2.7% and increased 1.7% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The three month increase in net revenue was primarily comprised of $25 million due to a 1.1% increase in units sold, $13 million due to a 0.6% increase in consolidated average selling price per unit ("ASP") and $20 million in favorable foreign currency exchange rates in all countries except Japan. These amounts were offset primarily by a decrease of $3 million in shipping and handling revenue. The six month increase in net revenue was primarily comprised of $36 million due to a 0.8% increase in ASP, $26 million due to a 0.6% increase in units sold and $14 million in favorable foreign currency rates in all countries except Japan. These amounts were negatively impacted by unfavorable returns in the U.S., partially offset by favorability in Germany. The increase in the returns in the U.S. was primarily due to adjustments to prior period estimates based on actual experience, whereas the decrease in Germany was primarily due to lower returns in all categories and a positive mix shift from the apparel and jewelry categories to home, which typically returns at lower rates.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the changes in revenue and expenses were affected by changes in the exchange rates for the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the U.K. Pound Sterling. In the event the U.S. Dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies in the future, QVC's revenue and operating cash flow will be negatively affected.

The percentage increase (decrease) in net revenue for each of QVC's geographic areas in U.S. Dollars and in local currency was as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2014				2014
	U.S. Dollars		Local currency		U.S. Dollars		Local currency
QVC-U.S.	3.0	%	3.0	%	1.8	%	1.8	%
QVC-Japan	(14.2	)%	(11.1	)%	(11.4	)%	(5.0	)%
QVC-Germany	9.7	%	4.7	%	4.4	%	0.1	%
QVC-U.K.	16.3	%	5.8	%	17.1	%	7.9	%
QVC-Italy	17.2	%	8.6	%	10.0	%	5.6	%

QVC-U.S.' net revenue growth for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to a 3.1% increase in units shipped and a 1.2% increase in ASP, partially offset by an increase in estimated product returns due to adjustments to prior period estimates based on actual experience. QVC-U.S.' net revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to a 2.2% increase in units shipped and a 0.9% increase in ASP, partially offset by the increase in estimated product returns as discussed in the above paragraph. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, QVC-U.S. experienced shipped sales growth primarily in the home, apparel, and accessories categories partially offset by declines in electronics. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, QVC-Japan's shipped sales in local currency declined in all categories except electronics. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the declines in QVC-Japan's shipped sales in local currency were primarily due to a local consumption tax increase that became effective April 1, 2014. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, QVC-Germany's shipped sales in local currency increased primarily in the home category, somewhat offset by declines in apparel and jewelry. For both periods presented, QVC-Germany was also positively impacted by favorable return rates as discussed in the above paragraph. For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, QVC-U.K.'s shipped sales growth in local currency increased in the beauty, apparel and accessories categories, partially offset by declines in electronics and to a lesser extent in the home category. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, QVC-U.K.'s shipped sales growth in local currency increased in all categories except electronics. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, QVC-Italy's shipped sales growth in local currency primarily increased in the beauty, accessories and apparel categories which were partially offset by a decline in the home category.

Gross profit

QVC's gross profit percentage was 37.9% and 37.4% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 37.4% and 37.0% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the gross profit margins increased primarily due to increased product margins in the U.S. and the U.K.

I-31

Operating expenses

QVC's operating expenses are principally comprised of commissions, order processing and customer service expenses, credit card processing fees, telecommunications expenses and production costs. Operating expenses increased $9 million or 5.3% and increased $14 million or 4.1% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the variance was primarily due to an increase in programming and production expenses of $2 million, an increase in commission expenses of $2 million, an increase in customer service expenses in the U.S. and Germany of $2 million and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates of $2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the variance was primarily due to an increase in commission expenses of $4 million, an increase in programming and production expenses of $4 million, an increase in customer service expenses in the U.S. and Germany of $2 million, an increase in credit card fees of $1 million and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates of $1 million.

For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the increase in programming and production expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs in the U.S. The increase in commission expenses was primarily due to higher programming distribution expenses in Japan and the sales increases in the U.S. The increase in customer service expenses in Germany was primarily due to the launch of the new European systems platform that created some short-term disruptions and resulted in additional talk times. The increase in customer service expenses in the US was primarily volume related associated with the sales increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation)

QVC's SG&A expenses include personnel, information technology, provision for doubtful accounts, credit card income and marketing and advertising expenses. Such expenses increased $16 million and increased $11 million, and as a percent of net revenue, from 6.6% to 7.2% and from 7.0% to 7.1% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, due to a variety of factors.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the variance was primarily due to an increase in outside services of $8 million, higher personnel costs of $5 million, higher marketing expenses of $4 million, a higher provision for doubtful accounts of $3 million and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates of $2 million. These amounts were primarily offset by an increase in credit card income of $5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the variance was primarily due to an increase in outside services of $11 million, higher marketing expenses of $9 million, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates of $3 million. These amounts were primarily offset by an increase in credit card income of $7 million and a decrease in personnel costs of $5 million.

For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the increase in outside services was primarily driven by information technology and commerce platform projects and global market expansion expenses in the U.S. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the increase in personnel costs was primarily due to merit, benefits and bonus increases in the U.S., Germany and the U.K. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease in personnel costs was primarily due to a reduction in U.S. bonus expense and a prior year personnel tax accrual in Germany. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the increase in marketing expenses was primarily due to online and social media campaigns. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the increase in the provision for doubtful accounts was primarily due to the Easy-Pay installment program in the U.S. The QVC Easy-Pay Plan (known as Q Pay in Germany) permits customers to pay for items in two or more installments. When the QVC Easy-Pay Plan is offered by QVC and elected by the customer, the first installment is billed to the customer’s credit card upon shipment. Generally, the customer’s credit card is subsequently billed up to five additional monthly installments until the total purchase price of the products has been billed by QVC. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the increase in credit card income was primarily due to higher bank reserve requirements associated with the U.S. regulatory environment in the prior year impacting the overall economics of the portfolio. QVC-U.S. amended and restated its agreement with a large consumer financial services company (the "Bank") pursuant to which the Bank provides revolving credit directly to QVC's customers for the sole purpose of purchasing merchandise or services with a QVC branded credit card. The agreement provides more favorable economic terms for QVC and is effective August 1, 2014.

I-32

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to options and restricted stock granted to certain officers and employees. QVC recorded $10 million and $9 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $18 million and $19 million of stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense remained relatively consistent for the three and six month periods presented compared to the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(in millions)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Affiliate agreements	$	38	$	37	$	76	75
Customer relationships	43		43		86		86
Acquisition related amortization	81		80		162		161
Property and equipment	33		33		66		63
Software amortization	22		17		43		36
Channel placement amortization and related expenses	9		10		18		14
Total depreciation and amortization	$	145	$	140	$	289	274

Equity in losses of investee

The activity was associated with our joint venture in China that is accounted for as an equity method investment.

Gains on financial instruments

In 2009 and 2011, QVC entered into several interest rate swap arrangements to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with interest payments related to its variable rate debt. QVC assessed the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps using the hypothetical derivative method. QVC's elected interest terms did not effectively match the terms of the swap arrangements. As a result, the swaps did not qualify as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps were included in gains on financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 2013, QVC's notional interest rate swaps of $3.1 billion expired.

Interest expense, net

Consolidated interest expense, net increased 20% and increased 8.0% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. For both periods presented the interest expense increased as a result of using the proceeds from the 3.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and 4.850% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 to pay down the credit facility that has a lower interest rate (please see below for further discussion on the Senior Secured Notes).

Foreign currency loss

Certain loans between QVC and its subsidiaries are deemed to be short-term in nature, and accordingly, the translation of these loans are recorded on the statements of operations. The change in foreign currency loss was primarily due to variances in interest and operating payables balances between QVC and its international subsidiaries denominated in the currency of the subsidiary and the effects of currency exchange rate changes on those balances.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

During the first half of 2013, QVC redeemed $500 million of its 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and $231 million of its 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2019. The loss in the prior year was primarily due to premiums paid for the tenders of these notes.

I-33

Income taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 was 37.2% and 37.5%, respectively, and our effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 was 36.8% and 36.9%, respectively. These rates differ from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% due primarily to state tax expense. We do not expect our effective tax rates to differ significantly in future periods.

Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted OIBDA)

QVC defines Adjusted OIBDA as net revenue less cost of goods sold, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation). QVC's chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate the businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among the businesses. QVC believes that this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the businesses, including the ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows QVC to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and perform benchmarking among its businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes such costs as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP.

The primary material limitations associated with the use of Adjusted OIBDA as compared to GAAP results are (i) it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the industry, and (ii) it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating QVC's performance. QVC compensates for these limitations by providing disclosure of the difference between Adjusted OIBDA and GAAP results, including providing a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to GAAP results, to enable investors to perform their own analysis of QVC's operating results. Refer to note 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Income before income taxes.

Seasonality

QVC's business is seasonal due to a higher volume of sales in the fourth calendar quarter related to year-end holiday shopping. In recent years, QVC has earned on average between 22% and 23% of its revenue in each of the first three quarters of the year and 32% of its revenue in the fourth quarter of the year.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Historically, QVC's primary sources of cash have been cash provided by operating activities and borrowings. In general, QVC uses this cash to fund its operations, make capital purchases, make payments to Liberty, make interest payments and minimize QVC's outstanding senior secured credit facility balance.

As of June 30, 2014, substantially all of QVC's cash and cash equivalents were invested in AAA rated money market funds and time deposits with banks rated equal to or above A.

Senior Secured Notes

On March 18, 2014, QVC issued $400 million principal amount of 3.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 at an issue price of 99.828% and $600 million principal amount of 4.850% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 at an issue price of 99.927% (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are secured by a first-priority lien on the capital stock of QVC, which is the same collateral that secures QVC's existing secured indebtedness and certain future indebtedness. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay indebtedness under QVC’s senior secured credit facility and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Interest is payable semi-annually.

I-34

Senior Secured Credit Facility

QVC had approximately $1.9 billion available under the terms of the Company's senior secured credit facility at June 30, 2014. The interest rate on the senior secured credit facility was 1.9% at June 30, 2014.

Other Debt Related Information

QVC was in compliance with all of its debt covenants at June 30, 2014.

During the quarter, there were no significant changes to QVC's debt credit ratings.

There are no restrictions under the debt agreements on QVC's ability to pay dividends or make other restricted payments if QVC is not in default on its senior secured notes or credit facility, and QVC's consolidated leverage ratio would be no greater than 3.25 to 1.0. As a result, Liberty will, in many instances, be permitted to rely on QVC's cash flow for servicing Liberty's debt and for other purposes, including repurchases of Liberty's common stock, or to fund acquisitions or other operational requirements of Liberty and its subsidiaries. These events may deplete QVC's equity or require QVC to borrow under the senior secured credit facility, increasing QVC's leverage and decreasing liquidity. QVC has made significant distributions to Liberty in the past.

Additional Cash Flow Information

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our primary uses of cash were $1,419 million of principal payments on debt and capital lease obligations, $480 million of dividends to Liberty, $57 million of capital expenditures and a $25 million dividend payment from QVC-Japan to Mitsui. These uses of cash were funded primarily with $999 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and 4.85% Senior Secured Notes due 2024, $554 million of principal borrowings from the senior secured credit facility and $549 million of cash provided by operating activities. As of June 30, 2014, our cash balance (excluding restricted cash) was $548 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our primary uses of cash were $1,695 million of principal payments on debt and capital lease obligations, $765 million of dividends to Liberty, $75 million of capital expenditures, $46 million of premiums paid for the tenders of QVC's existing 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2019, $26 million of cable and satellite television distribution rights expenditures and a $25 million dividend payment from QVC-Japan to Mitsui. These uses of cash were funded primarily with $1,053 million of principal borrowings from the senior secured credit facility, $1,050 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 4.375% Senior Secured Notes Due 2023 and 5.95% Senior Secured Notes Due 2043 and $442 million of cash provided by operating activities. As of June 30, 2013, our cash balance (excluding restricted cash) was $416 million.

The change in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the previous year was primarily due to variances in accounts payable balances. The variances in this account were primarily due to timing of inventory receipts and related payments to vendors.

As of June 30, 2014, $322 million of the $548 million in cash was held by foreign subsidiaries. Cash in foreign subsidiaries is generally accessible, but certain tax consequences may reduce the net amount of cash we are able to utilize for U.S. purposes. QVC accrues taxes on the unremitted earnings of its international subsidiaries. Approximately one-third of this foreign cash balance was that of QVC-Japan. QVC owns 60% of QVC-Japan and shares all profits and losses with the 40% minority interest holder, Mitsui. We believe that we currently have appropriate legal structures in place to repatriate foreign cash as tax efficiently as possible and meet the business needs of QVC.

Other

Capital expenditures spending in 2014 is expected to be approximately $200 million, including $57 million already expended.

Refer to the chart under the "Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations" section below for additional information concerning the amount and timing of expected future payments under QVC's contractual obligations at June 30, 2014.

I-35

QVC has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible QVC may incur losses upon the 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, that may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Information concerning the amount and timing of required payments, both accrued and off-balance sheet, under our contractual obligations at June 30, 2014 is summarized below:

	Payments due by period
(in millions)	Total		Less than 1 year	2-3 years	4-5 years	After 5 years
Long-term debt (1)	$	3,884	—	—	65	3,819
Interest payments(2)	1,961		95	441	440	985
Capital lease obligations (including imputed interest)	80		7	22	23	28
Operating lease obligations	160		10	28	21	101

(1) Amounts exclude capital lease obligations and the issue discounts on the 7.5%, 3.125%, 4.375%, 4.85% and 5.95% Senior Secured Notes.

(2) Amounts (i) are based on the terms of QVC's senior secured credit facility and senior secured notes, (ii) assumes the interest rates on the floating rate debt remain constant at the rates in effect as of June 30, 2014, (iii) assumes that our existing debt is repaid at maturity and (iv) excludes capital lease obligations.

Our purchase obligations did not materially change as of June 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

QVC is exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations by subsidiaries in different foreign countries. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. QVC has established procedures and internal processes governing the management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage exposure to such risks.

Interest rate risk

QVC is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of borrowing activities. Over the long-term, QVC manages the exposure to interest rates by maintaining what QVC believes is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. QVC believes this best protects itself from interest rate risk.

I-36

The table below summarizes the Company’s debt obligations, related interest rates and fair value of debt at June 30, 2014:

(in millions, except percentages)	2014			2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value
Fixed rate debt (1)	$	—		—		—		—		—		3,819		3,819		4,006

N/A - Not applicable.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

QVC is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to the monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of its foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. Dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholder's equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end transactions) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the period. Accordingly, QVC may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to its holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. QVC's reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 would have been impacted by approximately $1 million and $3 million, respectively, for every 1% change in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar.

The credit facility provides QVC with the ability to borrow in multiple currencies. This allows QVC to somewhat mitigate

foreign currency exchange rate risks. As of June 30, 2014, the previously held Japanese Yen-denominated borrowings were paid in full, and no borrowings in foreign currencies were outstanding.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain a comprehensive set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As of June 30, 2014 (the Evaluation Date), an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarter ended on the Evaluation Date, there was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

QVC, Inc. (unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company" and "QVC" refer to QVC, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications. In the United States, QVC's live programming is distributed via its nationally televised shopping program 24 hours per day, 364 days per year ("QVC-U.S."). Internationally, QVC's program services are based in Japan ("QVC-Japan"), Germany ("QVC-Germany"), the United Kingdom ("QVC-U.K.") and Italy ("QVC-Italy"). QVC-Japan distributes live programming 24 hours per day, QVC-Germany distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming and QVC-U.K. distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming. QVC-Italy distributes programming live for 17 hours per day on satellite and digital terrestrial television and an additional seven hours per day of recorded programming on satellite and seven hours per day of general interest programming on digital terrestrial television.

The Company also has a joint venture with China Broadcasting Corporation, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio (''CNR''). The Company owns a 49% interest in a CNR subsidiary, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. (''CNRS''). CNRS distributes live programming for 15 hours per day and recorded programming for nine hours per day. This joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment recorded as equity in (losses) earnings of investee in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, the Company's Japanese operations are conducted through a venture with Mitsui & Co. LTD ("Mitsui") for a television and multimedia retailing service in Japan. QVC-Japan is owned 60% by the Company and 40% by Mitsui. The Company and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. For both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $25 million, respectively.

We are an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty") (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA and LVNTB), which owns interests in a broad range of digital commerce businesses. We are attributed to the Liberty Interactive tracking stock, which tracks the assets and liabilities of Liberty's Interactive Group (the "Interactive Group"). The Interactive Group does not represent a separate legal entity; rather, it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that are attributed to that group. Liberty also attributes to its Interactive Group those businesses primarily focused on digital commerce and its approximate 38% ownership interest in HSN, Inc. ("HSN"), one of our two closest televised shopping competitors.

In October 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to recapitalize its Interactive Group tracking stock into two new tracking stocks, one (currently the Liberty Interactive common stock) to be renamed the QVC Group common stock and the other to be designated as the Liberty Digital Commerce common stock. The Digital Commerce Group would have had attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Inc. ("Provide"), Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, CommerceHub and the Evite.com business, along with cash and certain liabilities. The QVC Group, which is currently known as the Interactive Group, would have attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities.

On July 30, 2014, Liberty announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which FTD Companies, Inc. ("FTD") will acquire Provide. FTD and Liberty expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2014. Liberty still plans to create the QVC Group tracking stock but in light of the pending Provide transaction, and other factors, management is reevaluating the optimal structure and best alignment of the Digital Commerce Group. As a result, the timing of the transition to the QVC Group has been delayed.

On April 16, 2014, QVC announced plans to expand its global presence into France. Similar to its other markets, QVC plans to offer a highly immersive digital shopping experience, with strong integration across e-commerce, TV, mobile and social platforms, with the launch scheduled for the second quarter of 2015.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. 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 U.S. 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in QVC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Estimates include, but are not limited to, sales returns, uncollectible receivables, inventory obsolescence, depreciable lives of fixed assets, internally-developed software, valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Consolidation policy

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority‑owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

New accounting pronouncements policy

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Reclassification policy

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported or disclosed at fair value, U.S. 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, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value were as follows:

			Fair value measurements at June 30, 2014 using
(in millions)	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)	Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)	Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Current assets:
Cash equivalents	$	463	463	—	—
Long-term liabilities:
Debt (note 6)	4,071		—	4,071	—

			Fair value measurements at December 31, 2013 using
(in millions)	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)	Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)	Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Current assets:
Cash equivalents	$	342	342	—	—
Long-term liabilities:
Debt (note 6)	3,783		—	3,783	—

The majority of the Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are debt instruments with quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the financial instruments are reported in the foregoing tables as Level 2 fair value instruments.

Segment Reporting Disclosure

Information about QVC's Operating Segments

Each of the Company's operating segments are retailers of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs as well as via the Internet and mobile applications in certain markets. The Company has operations in the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. The Company has identified five reportable segments: the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy.

The Company evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as net revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per subscriber equivalent. The Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation). The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its segments, including the ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking among our businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP.

Income Taxes

Jun. 30, 2014

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Tax Disclosure

Income Taxes

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision by applying its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences as a result of differences between amounts measured and recognized in accordance with tax laws and financial accounting standards, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on the prior quarters is included in the tax expense for the current quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a tax provision of $83 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a tax provision of $157 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 37.5%. These rates differ from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% due primarily to state tax expense.

QVC is party to ongoing discussions with the Internal Revenue Service under the Compliance Assurance Process audit program. The Company files Federal tax returns on a consolidated basis with its parent company, Liberty. The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2014, the Company, or one of its subsidiaries, was under examination in California, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, the City of New York and Pennsylvania, as well as in Germany, the U.K, and Italy.

The amounts of the tax-related balances due to Liberty at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $22 million and $78 million, respectively, and were included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company previously entered into a Tax Liability Allocation and Indemnification Agreement (the “Tax Agreement”) with Liberty. The Tax Agreement establishes the methodology for the calculation and payment of income taxes in connection with the consolidation of the Company with Liberty for income tax purposes. Generally, the Tax Agreement provides that the Company will pay Liberty an amount equal to the tax liability, if any, that it would have if it were to file as a consolidated group separate and apart from Liberty, with exceptions for the treatment and timing of certain items, including but not limited to deferred intercompany transactions, credits, and net operating and capital losses. To the extent that the separate company tax expense is different from the payment terms of the Tax Agreement, the difference is recorded as either a dividend or capital contribution.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

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 the amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Substantially all our customer orders, fulfillment and delivery services are dependent upon the use of network and information systems, including the use of third party telecommunication and delivery service providers. If information systems including the Internet or telecommunication services are disrupted, or if the third party delivery services experience a disruption in their transportation delivery services, we could face a significant disruption in fulfilling our customer orders and shipment of our products. We have active disaster recovery programs in place to help mitigate risks associated with these critical business activities.

Guarantor Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information [Abstract]

Guarantor Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information

Guarantor/Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information

The following information contains the condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company, the parent on a stand-alone basis (QVC, Inc.), the combined subsidiary guarantors (Affiliate Relations Holdings, Inc.; Affiliate Investment, Inc.; AMI 2, Inc.; ER Marks, Inc.; QVC International LLC; QVC Rocky Mount, Inc. and QVC San Antonio, LLC) and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries are majority-owned by QVC International LLC, which is a guarantor subsidiary.

These condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company's financial information on the same basis of accounting as the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, such as management fees, royalty revenue and expense, interest income and expense and gains on intercompany asset transfers. Goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to the subsidiaries based on management’s estimates. Certain costs have been partially allocated to all of the subsidiaries of the Company.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, an intangible asset held by certain non-guarantor subsidiaries was sold to QVC, Inc. resulting in a gain of $20 million reflected in intercompany interest and other income for the non-guarantor subsidiaries and also included in equity in earnings of subsidiaries for the subsidiary guarantors.  The gain is eliminated in the eliminations column.  The impact of these earnings has been eliminated in the presentation of intangible assets and equity in earnings of subsidiaries of the parent company.

The subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company. All guarantees are full and unconditional and are joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from its U.S. subsidiaries, including the guarantors, by dividend or loan. The Company has not presented separate notes and other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors as the Company has determined that such material information is available in the notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company adjusted the previously reported consolidating financial statements to correctly classify transactions among QVC Inc., the combined subsidiary guarantors and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of operations:

• attributed net revenue of $58 million and operating expenses of $9 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2013;

• recognized equal and offsetting increases in the equity in earnings of subsidiaries of QVC, Inc. with a corresponding elimination for the three months ended June 30, 2013;

• attributed net revenue of $112 million, cost of goods sold of $11 million and operating expenses of $17 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2013; and

• recognized equal and offsetting increases in the equity in earnings of subsidiaries of QVC, Inc. with a corresponding elimination for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

• attributed net cash provided by operating activities of $83 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries primarily related to revenue net of cost of goods sold and operating expenses;

• decreased net cash provided by investing activities of $34 million of QVC, Inc. with an equal and offsetting elimination; and

• increased net cash provided by financing activities of $117 million of QVC, Inc. and decreased net cash used in financing activities of $83 million of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, all with equal and offsetting eliminations.

The adjustments had no impact to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for any current and previously reported period.

The increase in tax expense of the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an unfavorable tax audit settlement in one of our European subsidiaries. This also resulted in a tax benefit for QVC, Inc. as a result of the corresponding foreign tax credit in the U.S.
