LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(1)   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty Interactive Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, "Liberty" or the "Company" unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries in North America, Europe and Asia.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liberty considers (i) fair value measurement, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) assessments of other-than-temporary declines in fair value of its investments and (iv) estimates of retail-related adjustments and allowances to be its most significant estimates.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.  The new guidance 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. This new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which clarifies principal versus agent considerations, and in April 2016, the FASB issued further guidance which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the implementation guidance for licensing. The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standards on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends the consolidation guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.  The new guidance requires an entity to reconsider and re-document the basis for previous consolidation conclusions.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016.  The adoption of this guidance did not change the conclusions reached for any previous consolidation analyses.

In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The new principle is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and applies to entities that measure inventory using a method other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after

I-10

LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

December 15, 2016. The Company has determined there is no significant effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments.  The new guidance requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which revises the accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. The new standard, to be applied via a modified retrospective transition approach, is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in the third quarter of 2016 and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that Liberty uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC"), a separate publicly traded company, neither of which has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other, in order to govern relationships between the companies. These agreements include a Reorganization Agreement, Services Agreement, Facilities Sharing Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement.

The Reorganization Agreement provides for, among other things, provisions governing the relationship between Liberty and LMC, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, LMC provides Liberty with certain general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Liberty reimburses LMC for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by LMC in providing these services and for Liberty's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing

services to Liberty. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreement, LMC shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Liberty. Under these various agreements, approximately $3 million and $2 million was reimbursable to LMC for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and approximately $5 million was reimbursable to LMC for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Additionally, the Tax Sharing Agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty and LMC and other agreements related to tax matters.

(2)   Tracking Stocks

A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or "track" the economic performance of a particular business or "group," rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. Liberty has two tracking stocks—QVC Group common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, which are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, respectively.

While the QVC Group and the Ventures Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group's stock or assets and are not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation.

The term "QVC Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. The QVC Group is primarily comprised of our merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs, Internet and mobile application businesses and has attributed to it our wholly-owned subsidiaries, QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) and zulily (defined below) (as of October 1, 2015), and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities that reside with QVC and zulily as well as certain liabilities related to our corporate indebtedness (see note 10) and certain deferred tax liabilities. As of June 30, 2016, the QVC Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $394 million, which includes subsidiary cash.

The term "Ventures Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. The Ventures Group is primarily comprised of our subsidiaries Bodybuilding.com, LLC ("Bodybuilding"), Commerce Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a “CommerceHub”) (until July 22, 2016), Evite, Inc. ("Evite") and Backcountry.com, Inc. (“Backcountry”) (see note 3 for discussion of a disposed business) (collectively, the “Digital Commerce” businesses) and interests in Expedia, Inc., FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”), LendingTree, Inc., and Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”), available-for-sale securities in Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc., as well as cash and cash equivalents of approximately $116 million at June 30, 2016. The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our Exchangeable Debentures (see note 10) and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group is primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities. 

On May 18, 2016, Liberty completed a $2.4 billion investment in Liberty Broadband in connection with the merger of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC"). The proceeds of this investment were used by Liberty Broadband to fund, in part, its acquisition of $5 billion of stock in the new public parent company (“New Charter”) of the combined enterprises. Liberty, along with third party investors, all of whom invested on the same terms as Liberty, purchased newly issued shares of Liberty Broadband Series C common stock at a per share price of $56.23, which was determined based upon the fair value of Liberty Broadband's net assets on a sum-of-the parts basis at the time the investment agreements were executed. Liberty's investment in Liberty Broadband was funded using cash on hand and is attributed to the Ventures Group. See note 8 for additional information related to this investment.

Liberty also exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of New Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of New Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty in the exchange.

(“zulily”) (now known as zulily, llc) for consideration of approximately $2.3 billion, comprised of $9.375 of cash and 0.3098 newly issued shares of Series A QVC Group common stock for each zulily share, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares.  Funding for the $1.2 billion cash portion of the consideration came from cash on hand at zulily and a distribution from QVC funded by a drawdown under its revolving credit facility (see note 10).  zulily is an online retailer offering customers a fun and entertaining shopping experience with a fresh selection of new product styles launched each day.  zulily is attributed to the QVC Group and we believe that its business is complementary to QVC’s. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the preliminary purchase price allocation was adjusted, resulting in decreases of $50 million to trademarks, $40 million to intangible assets subject to amortization and $33 million to deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase of $57 million to goodwill. If these adjustments had been recorded as of the acquisition date, amortization expense would have been approximately $3 million lower for the period ended December 31, 2015. There have been no other significant changes to our purchase price allocation since December 31, 2015. The initial purchase price allocation is subject to change upon receipt of the final valuation analysis for zulily. The primary balances still subject to analysis are certain intangible assets, liabilities and tax balances.  

On November 12, 2015, Liberty announced that its board of directors authorized management to pursue a plan to distribute to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of newly formed companies to be called CommerceHub, Inc. and Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (“Expedia Holdings”).  Expedia Holdings is expected to be comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s entire interest in Expedia, Inc., Liberty’s subsidiary Bodybuilding and $400 million of debt.

On July 22, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, Liberty completed its previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its former wholly-owned subsidiary CommerceHub.  The Spin-Off was accomplished by the distribution by Liberty of a dividend of (i) 0.1 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series A common stock for each outstanding share of Liberty’s Series A Liberty Ventures common stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2016 (such date and time, the “Record Date”), (ii) 0.1 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series B common stock for each outstanding share of Liberty’s Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of the Record Date and (iii) 0.2 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series C common stock for each outstanding share of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of the Record Date, in each case, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

The applicable special shareholder meeting date, record date, distribution date and distribution ratio for the proposed split-off of Expedia Holdings will be announced at a later date. The proposed distribution is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of Liberty Ventures and will be subject to various conditions including the receipt of an opinion of tax counsel and shareholder approval. Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions, the completion of the proposed distribution is expected to occur at the end of the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2016.

See Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for unaudited attributed financial information for Liberty's tracking stock groups.

(3) Disposals

On June 30, 2015, Liberty sold Backcountry for aggregate consideration, including assumption of debt, amounts held in escrow, and a noncontrolling interest, of approximately $350 million.  The sale resulted in a $105 million gain, which is included in “Gains (losses) on dispositions, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Backcountry is included in the Corporate and other segment through June 30, 2015 and is not presented as a discontinued operation as the sale did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on Liberty’s operations and financial results. Included in revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations is $105 million and $227 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, related to Backcountry.  Included in net earnings (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are losses of $4 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, related to Backcountry.

(4)   Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are $24 million and $29 million of stock-based compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $55 million and $44 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty granted 2.8 million options to QVC employees to purchase shares of Series A QVC Group common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.89 per share and vest semi-annually over 4 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty granted 347 thousand options to zulily employees to purchase shares of Series A QVC Group common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.89 per share and vest between three to five years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty granted to Liberty employees 11 thousand and 386 thousand options to purchase shares of Series A QVC Group common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.79 and $8.14 per share, respectively, and vest semi-annually over four years and 50% each on December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Also during the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty granted to Liberty employees 3 thousand and 104 thousand options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.11 and $12.24 per share, respectively, and vest semi-annually over four years and 50% each on December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

In connection with our CEO’s employment agreement, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty also granted 730 thousand and 209 thousand options of Series B QVC Group common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively, and 53 thousand and 16 thousand performance-based restricted stock units of Series B QVC Group common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively.  Such options had a grant-date fair value of $7.47 per share and $12.48 per share, respectively. The restricted stock units had a fair value of $25.11 per share and $38.79 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted. The options vest on December 31, 2016 and the restricted stock units cliff vest in one year, subject to satisfaction of certain performance objectives.  Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is remeasured at each reporting period.

The Company has calculated the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified Awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified and certain performance-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty's stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

As of June 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Awards was approximately $153 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years.

Other

Certain of the Company's other subsidiaries have stock based compensation plans under which employees and non-employees are granted options or similar stock based awards. Awards made under these plans vest and become exercisable over various terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $90 million of cash payments were made to settle CommerceHub stock based awards. The awards and compensation recorded, if any, under other subsidiary compensation plans are not significant to Liberty.

(5)   Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during periods in which losses are reported since the result would be antidilutive.

Series A and Series B QVC Group Common Stock

Excluded from diluted EPS, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are 13 million and 4 million potential common shares, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. Excluded from diluted EPS, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are 13 million and 4 million potential common shares, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

(6)   Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements at				Fair Value Measurements at
	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
			Quoted			Quoted
			prices			prices
			in active	Significant		in active	Significant
			markets for	other		markets for	other
			identical	observable		identical	observable
			assets	inputs		assets	inputs
Description	Total		(Level 1)	(Level 2)	Total	(Level 1)	(Level 2)
	amounts in millions
Cash equivalents	$	297	297	—	2,225	2,225	—
Short term marketable securities	$	—	—	—	910	331	579
Available-for-sale securities	$	1,704	1,697	7	1,294	1,287	7
Debt	$	1,773	—	1,773	2,480	—	2,480

The majority of the Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are primarily debt instruments with quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:

Other financial instruments		3	—	2	—
	$	343	32	336	28

(7)   Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities and Other Cost Investments

All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, such as AFS securities, and certain other items at fair value and to recognize the changes in fair value of such instruments in the entity's statement of operations (the "fair value option"). In prior years, Liberty has historically entered into economic hedges for certain of its non-strategic AFS securities (although such instruments were not accounted for as fair value hedges by the Company). Changes in the fair value of these economic hedges were reflected in Liberty's statements of operations as unrealized gains (losses). In order to better match the changes in fair value of the subject AFS securities and the changes in fair value of the corresponding economic hedges in the Company's financial statements, Liberty elected the fair value option for those of its AFS securities which it considered to be non-strategic ("Fair Value Option Securities"). Accordingly, changes in the fair value of Fair Value Option Securities, as determined by quoted market prices, are reported in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in AFS securities, the majority of which are considered Fair Value Option Securities, and other cost investments are summarized as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2016		2015
	amounts in millions

(1) As discussed in note 2, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, Liberty exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of New Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of New Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty in the exchange.

(2) On May 12, 2016, Interval Leisure Group (“Interval”) completed an acquisition which was accomplished, in part, through the issuance of additional Interval shares.  As a result of the share issuance, Liberty’s ownership interest in Interval was reduced from approximately 28.7% to approximately 12.8%. Prior to the transaction, Interval was accounted for as an equity method investment.  As a result of the transaction, Liberty does not have ability to exercise significant influence.  Accordingly, Interval is classified as available-for-sale and is carried at fair value.

(8)Investments in Affiliates Accounted for Using the Equity Method

Liberty has various investments accounted for using the equity method. The following table includes Liberty's carrying amount, fair value, and percentage ownership of the more significant investments in affiliates at June 30, 2016 and the carrying amount at December 31, 2015:

Investment in Liberty Broadband

As discussed in note 2, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, on May 18, 2016, Liberty invested $2.4 billion in Liberty Broadband Series C nonvoting shares. As of June 30, 2016, Liberty has a 24% economic ownership interest in Liberty Broadband. Due to overlapping boards of directors and management, Liberty has been deemed to have

significant influence over Liberty Broadband even though Liberty does not have any voting rights. Liberty has elected to apply the fair value option for its investment in Liberty Broadband as it is believed that the Company’s investors value this investment based on the trading price of Liberty Broadband. Liberty recognizes changes in the fair value of its investment in Liberty Broadband in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

QVC Bank Credit Facilities

On March 9, 2015, QVC amended and restated its senior secured credit facility (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which was a multi-currency facility that provided for a $2.25 billion revolving credit facility with a $250 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit and $1.5 billion of uncommitted incremental revolving loan commitments or incremental term loans.

On June 23, 2016, QVC amended and restated its senior secured credit facility (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with zulily as co-borrower. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is a multi-currency facility that provides for a $2.65 billion revolving credit facility, with a $300 million total sub-limit for standby letters of credit and $1.5 billion of uncommitted incremental revolving loan commitments or incremental term loans. The Third

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes a $400 million tranche that may be borrowed by QVC and zulily, as co-borrowers.  The remaining $2.25 billion and any incremental loans may be borrowed only by QVC. The borrowers may elect that the loans extended under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR or LIBOR, as each is defined in the senior secured credit facility agreement, plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.75% depending on various factors. Each loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty other than customary breakage costs. No mandatory prepayments are required other than when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed availability; provided that, if zulily ceases to be controlled by Liberty, all of its loans must be repaid and its letters of credit cash collateralized. Any amounts prepaid on the revolving facility may be reborrowed. The facility matures on June 23, 2021, except that $140 million of the $2.25 billion commitment available to QVC matures on March 9, 2020. Borrowings under the facility may be accelerated following certain customary events of default.

The payment and performance of the borrowers’ obligations (including zulily’s obligations) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of QVC’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries. Further, the borrowings under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured, pari passu with QVC’s existing notes, by a pledge of all of QVC’s equity interests.  The payment and performance of the borrowers’ obligations with respect to the $400 million tranche available to both QVC and zulily are also guaranteed by each of zulily’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries, if any, and are secured by a pledge of all of zulily’s equity interests.

The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions on QVC and zulily and each of their restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on property or assets; making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends and other restricted payments; dissolving, consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale or leaseback transactions; restricting subsidiary distributions; limiting QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is defined in QVC’s senior secured credit facility as QVC’s consolidated total debt to Adjusted OIBDA ratio for the most recent four fiscal quarter period; and limiting the borrowers’ combined consolidated leverage ratio, which is defined in QVC’s senior secured credit facility as QVC and zulily’s combined debt to Adjusted OIBDA ratio for the most recent four fiscal quarter period. Liberty defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation).

The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the QVC Bank Credit Facilities was 1.9% at June 30, 2016. Availability under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at June 30, 2016 was $975 million. 

Ventures Margin Loan

On May 13, 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary attributed to the Ventures Group entered into a margin loan agreement which provides for $450 million of available borrowings. Pursuant to the margin loan agreement, approximately 5 million shares of Charter Communications, Inc. common stock was pledged as collateral. Interest on the margin loan accrues at a rate of 2.65% plus LIBOR.  The margin loan matures on November 13, 2017. As of June 30, 2016, $375 million was outstanding under the margin loan. 

Expedia Margin Loan

Subsequent to June 30, 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary attributed to the Ventures Group entered into a margin loan agreement which provides for $300 million of available borrowings. Pursuant to the margin loan agreement, Liberty’s shares of Expedia were pledged as collateral. Interest on the margin loan accrues at a rate of 2.60% plus LIBOR.  The margin loan matures on the earlier of the Expedia Holdings split-off date or December 31, 2016.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures

Liberty has elected to account for the exchangeable senior debentures using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statements of operations.  As of June 30, 2016 the balance of the 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029, the 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2030 and the 3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031 have been classified as current because Liberty does not own shares to redeem the debentures.  For the remaining exchangeables, Liberty reviews the terms of the debentures on a quarterly basis to determine whether a triggering event has occurred to require current classification of the exchangeables upon a call event.  The 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2043 and 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures are classified as current as of June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, holders exchanged, under the terms of the debentures, approximately $321 million principal of Liberty’s 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and Liberty made cash payments of approximately $540 million to settle the obligations. In addition, in conjunction with the Liberty Broadband transaction (see note 2), an extraordinary distribution of approximately $325 million was paid to holders of the 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, holders exchanged, under the terms of the debentures, approximately $148 million principal of Liberty’s 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and Liberty elected to make cash payments to settle the obligations of approximately $173 million.

Liberty has delivered a notice to holders of the 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2043 notifying them of their right to surrender their 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures for purchase by Liberty pursuant to their purchase option  under the indenture.  The purchase option entitles each holder to require Liberty to purchase on October 5, 2016 all or any part of such holder’s 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures at a purchase price equal to the adjusted principal amount per $1,000 original principal amount of debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, October 5, 2016, plus any final period distribution.

Debt Covenants

Liberty, QVC and zulily are in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2016.

Other Subsidiary Debt

Other subsidiary debt at June 30, 2016 is comprised of capitalized satellite transponder lease obligations and bank debt of certain subsidiaries.

Fair Value of Debt

Liberty estimates the fair value of its debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rate offered to Liberty for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2). The fair value of Liberty's publicly traded debt securities that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 are as follows (amounts in millions):

Senior debentures	$	855
QVC senior secured notes	$	3,599

Due to the variable rate nature, Liberty believes that the carrying amount of its other debt, not discussed above, approximated fair value at June 30, 2016.

(11)   Stockholders' Equity

As of June 30, 2016, Liberty reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options approximately 31.6 million shares of Series A QVC Group common stock, 1.5 million shares of Series B QVC Group common stock, 3.6 million shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock and 1.7 million shares of Series B Liberty Ventures common stock.

In addition to the Series A and Series B QVC Group and Liberty Ventures common stock, there are 4 billion shares of Series C QVC Group and 400 million shares of Series C Liberty Ventures common stock authorized for issuance. As of June 30, 2016, no shares of any Series C QVC Group or Liberty Ventures common stock were issued or outstanding.

(12)   Commitments and Contingencies

Distribution Center Lease

On July 2, 2015, QVC entered into a lease (the “Lease”) for a west coast distribution center. Pursuant to the Lease, the landlord is building an approximately one million square foot rental building in Ontario, California (the “Premises”), and thereafter will lease the Premises to QVC as its new west coast distribution center for an initial term of 15 years. Under the Lease, QVC is required to pay an initial base rent of approximately $6 million per year, increasing to approximately $8 million per year by the final year of the initial term, as well as all real estate taxes and other building operating costs. QVC also has an option to extend the term of the Lease for up to two consecutive terms of 10 years each.

QVC has the right to purchase the Premises and related land from the landlord by entering into an amended and restated agreement at any time during the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth months of the Lease's initial term with a $10 million initial payment and annual payments of $12 million over a term of 13 years.

QVC has concluded that it is the deemed owner (for accounting purposes only) of the Premises during the construction period under build to suit lease accounting. Building construction began in July of 2015. During the construction period, QVC is recording estimated project construction costs incurred by the landlord as a projects in progress asset and a corresponding long-term liability in “Property and equipment, net” and “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively. In addition, QVC will pay for normal tenant improvements and certain structural improvements and will record these amounts as part of the projects in progress asset. As of June 30, 2016 the projects in progress asset and long-term liability related to the west coast distribution center were approximately $100 million.

Litigation

Liberty has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible Liberty may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

(13)   Information About Liberty's Operating Segments

Liberty, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries. Liberty identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of Liberty's annual pre-tax earnings.

Liberty evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped

I-24

LIBERTY INTERACTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, Liberty reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate.

Liberty defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Liberty believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, certain purchase accounting adjustments, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liberty generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty has identified the following consolidated subsidiaries as its reportable segments:

· QVC - a consolidated subsidiary that markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites and mobile applications.

· zulily – a consolidated subsidiary that markets and sells unique products in the United States and several foreign countries through flash sales events, primarily through its desktop and mobile websites and mobile applications.

Liberty's operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant accounting policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

I-27

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, 2015.

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of video and on-line commerce companies. Our largest business and reportable segment, is QVC. QVC markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites and mobile applications. On October 1, 2015 we acquired zulily, inc. (“zulily”) (now known as zulily, llc), an online retailer offering customers a fun and entertaining shopping experience with a fresh selection of new product styles launched every day.

Our “Corporate and Other” category includes entire or majority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, which operate on-line commerce businesses in a broad range of retail categories, ownership interests in unconsolidated businesses and corporate expenses.  These consolidated subsidiaries include, Bodybuilding.com, LLC ("Bodybuilding"), Commerce Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a “CommerceHub”) (until July 22, 2016), Evite, Inc. ("Evite") and Backcountry.com, Inc. (“Backcountry”) (through June 30, 2015, see note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements) (collectively, the “Digital Commerce” businesses).  Bodybuilding manages websites related to sports nutrition, body building and fitness. CommerceHub provides a cloud-based platform for online retailers and their suppliers (manufacturers, and distributors) to sell products to consumers without physically owning inventory, or managing the fulfillment of those products. Evite is an online invitation and social event planning service on the Web. We also hold ownership interests in Expedia, Inc. (“Expedia”), FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”), HSN, Inc. and LendingTree, which we account for as equity method investments; an ownership interest in Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”), which is accounted for at fair value; and we continue to maintain investments and related financial instruments in public companies such as Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc., which are accounted for at their respective fair market values.

On June 30, 2015, Liberty sold Backcountry. Backcountry is not presented as a discontinued operation as the sale did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on Liberty’s operations and financial results.

The term "Ventures Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of June 30, 2016, the Ventures Group is comprised primarily of our interests in Bodybuilding, CommerceHub (until July 22, 2016), Evite, Expedia, FTD,  LendingTree, Inc. and Liberty Broadband and investments in Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc., as well as cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $116 million. The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our corporate level indebtedness (see note 10 in the accompanying financial statements) and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group is primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities. 

The term "QVC Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group.  As of June 30, 2016, the QVC Group is primarily comprised of our merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs, Internet and mobile applications businesses and has attributed to it our wholly-owned subsidiaries QVC and zulily (as of October 1, 2015), as well as our 38% interest in HSN, Inc. and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $394 million, including subsidiary cash. The QVC Group has attributed to it liabilities that reside with QVC and zulily as well certain liabilities related to our corporate level indebtedness (see note 10 in the accompanying financial statements) and certain deferred tax liabilities.

On November 12, 2015, Liberty announced that its board of directors had authorized management to pursue a plan to distribute to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of newly formed companies to be called CommerceHub, Inc. and Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (“Expedia Holdings”). Expedia Holdings would be comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s interest in Expedia, Inc., Liberty’s subsidiary Bodybuilding and $400 million of debt.

On July 22, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, Liberty completed its previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its former wholly-owned subsidiary CommerceHub.  The Spin-Off was accomplished by the distribution by Liberty of a dividend of (i) 0.1 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series A common stock for each outstanding share of Liberty’s

I-28

Series A Liberty Ventures common stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2016 (such date and time, the “Record Date”), (ii) 0.1 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series B common stock for each outstanding share of Liberty’s Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of the Record Date and (iii) 0.2 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series C common stock for each outstanding share of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of the Record Date, in each case, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

The applicable record date, distribution date and distribution ratio for the proposed split-off of Expedia Holdings will be announced at a later date. The proposed distribution is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of Liberty Ventures and will be subject to various conditions including the receipt of an opinion of tax counsel and shareholder approval. Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions, the completion of the proposed distributions is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2016.

Results of Operations—Consolidated

General.    We provide in the tables below information regarding our Consolidated Operating Results and Other Income and Expense, as well as information regarding the contribution to those items from our principal reporting segments. The "Corporate and other" category consists of those assets or businesses which we do not disclose separately,

I-29

including our Digital Commerce businesses, which are included in the Ventures Group. For a more detailed discussion and analysis of the financial results of the principal reporting segments, see "Results of Operations—Businesses" below.

Revenue.    Our consolidated revenue increased 13.8% or $311 million and increased 13.6% or $607 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to the acquisition of zulily ($366 million and $721 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively) and increased revenue at QVC ($65 million and $140 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively), partially offset by the sale of Backcountry ($105 million and $227 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively) and decreases at Bodybuilding ($9 million and $17 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively). Bodybuilding’s results were driven by decreases in the overall number of unique visitors, a decrease in order volume and a decrease in average order value. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of QVC and zulily.

Stock-based compensation.    Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options, restricted awards and restricted stock units for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees and (2) phantom stock appreciation rights ("PSARs") granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans. 

I-30

We recorded $24 million and $29 million of stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recorded $55 million and $44 million of stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to a $12 million decrease at CommerceHub due to a smaller change in company value, partially offset by the acquisition of zulily ($6 million). The increase of $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the acquisition of zulily ($11 million). As of June 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $153 million. Such amount will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years. 

Operating income.    Our consolidated operating income decreased 7.1% or $19 million and 13.1% or $66 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to $43 million of operating losses at zulily, partially offset by an increase in operating income at QVC of $13 million and a $10 million increase in CommerceHub’s operating results (primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense). The decrease in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to $86 million of operating losses at zulily (largely due to amortization of intangibles recognized in the acquisition) and the sale of Backcountry ($5 million of operating losses), partially offset by an increase in operating income at QVC of $28 million. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of QVC and zulily.

Adjusted OIBDA.    We define Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes such costs as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See note 13 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to Earnings (loss) before income taxes.

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased 7.8% or $36 million and 6.2% or $54 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the acquisition of zulily ($31 million) and an increase of $14 million at QVC, partially offset by the sale of Backcountry ($2 million), a decrease of $3 million at CommerceHub and a decrease of $3 million related to other corporate activity. The increase in Adjusted OIBDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the acquisition of zulily ($54 million) and an increase of $22 million at QVC, partially offset by the sale of Backcountry ($8 million), a decrease of $3 million at Bodybuilding, a decrease of $2 million at CommerceHub and a decrease of $9 million related to other corporate activity. The other corporate activity primarily relates to expenses incurred in conjunction with the planned split-off of Expedia Holdings. See "Results of Operations—Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of QVC and zulily.

Interest expense.    Interest expense remained relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates.    The following table presents our share of earnings (losses) of affiliates:

	Three months ended			Six months ended

I-32

The change in our share of Expedia’s earnings (losses) is primarily due to a one time gain recognized by Expedia related to the sale of eLong Inc. during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The share of losses in the Other category of the Ventures Group, in all periods, is primarily related to our investments in alternative energy solution entities. These entities typically operate at a loss and because we account for these investments as equity method affiliates, we record our share of such losses. We note these entities typically have favorable tax attributes and credits which are recorded in our tax accounts.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments.    Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:

	Three months ended			Six months ended
	June 30,			June 30,
	2016		2015	2016	2015
	amounts in millions
Fair Value Option Securities - AFS	$	212	165	348	148
Fair Value Option Securities - Liberty Broadband		161	NA	161	NA
Exchangeable senior debentures		(33)	(133)	(175)	(120)
Other financial instruments		3	—	2	—
	$	343	32	336	28

The changes in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are due to market activity in the period on the various financial instruments that are marked to market on a periodic basis. The increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily driven by the investment in Liberty Broadband and the change in Liberty’s ownership interest in Interval Leisure Group, which resulted in classification as an available-for-sale security rather than an equity method investment.

Gains (losses) on dispositions, net. Gain on dispositions for the Ventures Group primarily relates to the sale of Backcountry on June 30, 2015, which resulted in a $105 million gain.

Other, net. Other, net includes the impact of foreign currency at QVC. Certain loans between QVC and its subsidiaries are deemed to be short-term in nature, and accordingly, the translation ofthese loans is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The change in foreign currency gain (loss) was also due tovariances in interest and operating payables balances between QVC and its international subsidiaries denominated in thecurrency of the subsidiary and the effects of currency exchange rate changes on those balances. Other, net for the Ventures Group includes a $59 million and $73 million gain on dilution of investments in affiliates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and a $1 million and $11 million gain on extinguishment of debt during the three and six months ended June 20, 3016, respectively.

Income taxes. We had income tax expense of $215 million and $122 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and income tax expense of $246 million and $125 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Income tax expense approximates the U.S. statutory tax rate of35%during the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to a federal benefit from tax credits generated by our alternative energy investments partially offset by state taxes, net of federal benefit. Income tax expense was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of35%in 2015 due to the receipt of a taxable dividend that under U.S. tax law is subject to a dividends received deduction and to tax credits generated by our alternative energy investments.

Net earnings. We had net earnings of $387 million and $258 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and net earnings of $458 million and $410 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The change in net earnings was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

While the QVC Group and the Ventures Group are not separate legal entities and the assets and liabilities attributed to each group remain assets and liabilities of our consolidated company, we manage the liquidity and financial resources of each group separately. Keeping in mind that assets of one group may be used to satisfy liabilities of the other group, the

I-33

following discussion assumes, consistent with management expectations, that future liquidity needs of each group will be funded by the financial resources attributed to each respective group.

As of June 30, 2016, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government agencies, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by the operating activities of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (to the extent such cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted such that, in the case of QVC, a leverage ratio (defined in QVC’s senior secured credit facility as the ratio of QVC’s consolidated total debt to Adjusted OIBDA for the most recent four fiscal quarter period and the ratio of QVC and zulily’s combined debt to Adjusted OIBDA ratio for the most recent four fiscal quarter period) of less than 3.5 to 1.0 must be maintained), proceeds from asset sales, monetization of our public investment portfolio, debt (including availability under the QVC Bank Credit Facility) and equity issuances, and dividend and interest receipts.

During the quarter there have been no significant changes to our corporate or subsidiary debt credit ratings.

As of June 30, 2016, Liberty's liquidity position consisted of the following:

	Cash and cash		Available-for-Sale
	equivalents		Securities
	amounts in millions
QVC	$	335	—
zulily		18	—
Corporate and other		41	4
Total QVC Group		394	4
Corporate and other		116	1,766
Total Ventures Group		116	1,766
Total Liberty	$	510	1,770

To the extent that the Company recognizes any taxable gains from the sale of assets we may incur tax expense and be required to make tax payments, thereby reducing any cash proceeds.  Additionally, we have borrowing capacity of approximately $975 million under the QVC credit facility at June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, QVC had approximately $177 million of cash and cash equivalents held in foreign subsidiaries which certain tax consequences could reduce the amount of cash that would be available for domestic purposes.

Additionally, our operating businesses have generated, on average, more than $1 billion in annual cash provided by operating activities over the prior three years and we do not anticipate any significant reductions in that amount in future periods.

QVC Group

I-34

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the QVC Group uses of cash were primarily the net repayment of certain debt obligations of approximately $145 million and the repurchase of Series A QVC Group common stock of $417 million.  Additionally, the QVC Group had approximately $110 million of capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2016.  These uses of cash were funded by cash provided by operating activities.

The projected uses of QVC Group cash for the remainder of 2016 are the cost to service outstanding debt, approximately $118 million in interest payments on QVC and corporate level debt, anticipated capital improvement spending of approximately $110 million and the continued buyback of QVC Group common stock under the approved share buyback program.

Ventures Group

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Ventures Group uses of cash were primarily the $2.4 billion investment in Liberty Broadband (see note 2 in the accompanying financial statements), the net repayment of certain debt obligations of approximately $509 million and purchase of short term and other marketable securities.  These uses of cash for the Ventures Group were funded by the sale of short term and other marketable securities.

The projected uses of Ventures Group cash for the remainder of 2016 are approximately $34 million in interest payments to service outstanding debt, anticipated capital improvement spending of approximately $20 million and further investments in existing or new businesses through continued investment activity.  Subsequent to June 30, 2016, holders exchanged, under the terms of the debentures, approximately $148 million principal of Liberty’s 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and Liberty elected to make cash payments to settle the obligations of approximately $173 million, which are expected to be funded, in part, through the sale of Time Inc. and Time Warner Inc. shares.

Consolidated

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty's primary uses of cash were the $2.4 billion investment in Liberty Broadband (see note 2 in the accompanying financial statements), $654 million of net repayments on outstanding debt and repurchases of Series A QVC Group common stock of $417 million. These activities were funded primarily by cash provided by operating activities, net sales of marketable securities and cash on hand.

The projected uses of Liberty cash for the remainder of 2016 are the continued capital improvement spending of approximately $130 million, the repayment of certain debt obligations, approximately $152 million for interest payments on outstanding debt, the potential buyback of common stock under the approved share buyback program and additional investments in existing or new businesses. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, holders exchanged, under the terms of the debentures, approximately $148 million principal of Liberty’s 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and Liberty elected to make cash payments to settle the obligations of approximately $173 million, which are expected to be funded, in part, through the sale of Time Inc. and Time Warner Inc. shares. We also may be required to make net payments of income tax liabilities to settle items under discussion with tax authorities. We expect that cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities and borrowing capacity in future periods will be sufficient to fund projected uses of cash.

I-35

per day of general interest programming. On weekends, QVC distributes shopping programming in France live for 12 hours per day, and distributes an additional 10 hours per day of recorded programming and two hours per day of general interest programming.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, QVC put into action the One Q Reorganization Plan which reorganized its department reporting structure. The purpose of the plan is to reorganize the reporting structure for a shared services arrangement to support the U.S. and international operations.

In June 2015, QVC expanded its global presence into France, launching its website on June 23, 2015 followed by the launch of television programming on August 1, 2015.

QVC's Japanese operations are conducted through a joint venture with Mitsui & Co., LTD ("Mitsui") in Japan. QVC-Japan is owned 60% by QVC and 40% by Mitsui. QVC and Mitsui share in all profits and losses based on their respective ownership interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, QVC-Japan paid dividends to Mitsui of $21 million and $20 million, respectively.

Additionally, QVC also has a joint venture with CNR Media Group, formerly known as China Broadcasting Corporation, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio (''CNR'').  QVC owns a 49% interest in a CNR subsidiary, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. (''CNRS''). CNRS operates a retail business in China through a shopping television channel with an associated website. Effective July 18, 2016, live programming was reduced from 17 to 15 hours per day and recorded programming was increased from seven hours to nine hours per day. This joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment recorded in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

QVC's operating results were as follows:

	Three months ended			Six months ended
	June 30,			June 30,
	2016		2015	2016	2015

Net revenue was generated in the following geographical areas:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
	amounts in millions
QVC-U.S.	$	1,428		1,406		2,835		2,748
QVC-International		635		592		1,241		1,188
Consolidated QVC	$	2,063		1,998		4,076		3,936

QVC's consolidated net revenue increased 3.3% and 3.6% for three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The three month increase in net revenue of $65 million was primarily comprised of $84 million due to a 3.7% increase in units sold, $19 million in favorable foreign currency rates, primarily in Japan, which was slightly offset by unfavorable foreign currency rates in the U.K., an $8 million decrease in

I-36

estimated product returns, $3 million increase in shipping and handling revenue and a $3 million increase related to product sales with zulily. The increase was partially offset by $54 million due to a 2.3% decrease in average selling price per unit ("ASP"). The six month increase in net revenue of $140 million was primarily comprised of $208 million due to 4.6% increase in units sold, a $19 million decrease in estimated product returns and $10 million in favorable foreign currency rates in Japan which was slightly offset by unfavorable foreign currency rates in the U.K. The increase was partially offset by $93 million due to a 2.0% decrease in ASP and a $6 million decrease in shipping and handling revenue.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, 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. QVC’s product margins are under pressure due to the rapid devaluation of the U.K. Pound Sterling. QVC will try to offset as much of this as possible through pricing and vendor negotiations.

In describing QVC’s operating results, the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange rates QVC uses to convert the operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. QVC calculates the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the prior period's currency exchange rates. QVC refers to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Constant currency operating results refers to operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations. The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand QVC’s underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations.

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

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30, 2016						June 30, 2016
	U.S. Dollars		Foreign Currency Exchange Impact		Constant currency		U.S. Dollars		Foreign Currency Exchange Impact		Constant currency
QVC-U.S.	1.6	%	—	%	1.6	%	3.2	%	—	%	3.2	%
QVC-International	7.3	%	3.3	%	4.0	%	4.5	%	0.9	%	3.6	%

QVC-U.S. net revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to a 3.8% and 5.3% increase in units shipped and a favorable impact in estimated product returns in both periods. The increases were partially offset by 3.3% and 3.0% decreases in ASP, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, QVC-US also experienced a decrease in net shipping and handling revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, QVC-US experienced shipped sales growth in apparel, accessories and home, offset by decreases in jewelry, electronics and beauty. The decrease in estimated product returns was primarily due to net adjustments to prior period estimates based on lower actual experience in accessories and electronics. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net shipping and handling revenue decreased in the U.S. as a result of the QVC's new shipping and handling pricing which became effective February 2, 2015 that provides for changes in standard shipping rates.

Beginning in early June, QVC’s U.S. sales began to experience significant headwinds, which have continued. The sales declines, as compared to prior periods, have averaged in the mid to high single digit percentages. QVC has developed many initiatives intended to reverse the negative trends and QVC is optimistic, although there is no guarantee, that these actions will have a positive effect. However, even if these initiatives begin to reverse these trends, it is believed that QVC-U.S. net revenue and Adjusted OIBDA will likely experience negative growth rates for the third quarter.

QVC-International net revenue growth in constant currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to a 3.5% and 3.4% increase in units shipped mainly in the U.K. and Germany which was slightly offset by Japan. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, QVC-International experienced shipped sales growth in all categories except accessories and jewelry, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, QVC-International experienced shipped sales growth in all categories except jewelry. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the increase was partially offset by an increase in estimated product returns, primarily in the U.K. and Germany due to an increase in units shipped.

I-37

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.

On June 23, 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the E.U., commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, the global markets and currencies have been adversely impacted, including a sharp decline in the value of the U.K. Pound Sterling as compared to the U.S. dollar. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue in the short term as the U.K. negotiates its exit from the E.U.  In the longer term, any impact from Brexit on us will also depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations.

QVC's gross profit percentage was 37.7% and 37.1% for three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to 38.2% and 37.6% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the gross profit percentage decreased primarily due to a decrease in product margins and higher freight costs. The decrease was partially offset by a favorable inventory obsolescence provision in both periods in the U.S. and the three month period ending June 30, 2016, internationally. The QVC-International decrease in product margins was partially offset by improved margins in Japan for both periods.

QVC's operating expenses are principally comprised of commissions, order processing and customer service expenses, credit card processing fees and telecommunications expenses. Operating expenses increased $3 million or 2.1% and $8 million or 2.9% for three and six months ended June 30, 2016 respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, operating expenses increased primarily due to $2 million in unfavorable foreign currency rates mainly in Japan and a $2 million increase in commissions internationally. The increase in commissions expense was primarily due to increased carriage in the U.K. and Japan. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, operating expenses increased primarily due to a $4 million increase in commissions, a $2 million increase in credit card fees in the U.S. and a $2 million unfavorable foreign currency rates, mainly in Japan. The increase in commissions expense was primarily due to increased sales on commission in the U.S. and increased carriage in the U.K. and Japan. The increase in credit card fees was primarily due to an increase in the volume of transactions in the U.S.

QVC's SG&A expenses include personnel, information technology, provision for doubtful accounts, production costs, credit card income, marketing and advertising expenses. Such expenses decreased $3 million, and as a percentage of net revenue, decreased from 8.6% to 8.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year and were relatively flat, and as a percentage of net revenue, decreased from 8.8% to 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year.  For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the decrease was primarily due to reduced personnel costs of approximately $22 million which was partially offset by increases in bad debt expense of $15 million, external services of $4 million and $2 million in unfavorable foreign currency rates mainly in Japan, partially offset by the U.K. The decrease in personnel costs was primarily due to a decrease in bonus of approximately $16 million, benefits of approximately $4 million and severance of approximately $2 million, mostly in the U.S. The increase in bad debt expense was primarily related to an increase in Easy-Pay sales penetration and higher default rates experienced related to the Easy-Pay program in the U.S. The increase in external services was primarily due to internal control enhancements,  outside legal services and the establishment of a global business service center. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the decrease was primarily due to reduced personnel costs of $28 million which was partially offset by increases in bad debt expense of $19 million, and $3 million for both external services and software expense. The decrease in personnel costs was primarily due to a decrease in bonus of approximately $16 million, benefits of approximately $7 million and severance of approximately $7 million, mostly in the U.S. The increase in bad debt expense was primarily related to an increase in Easy-Pay sales penetration and higher default rates experienced related to the Easy-Pay program in the U.S. The increase in external services was primarily due to internal control enhancements and the establishment of a global business service center. The increase in software expense was due to an increase in software maintenance.

zulily. Liberty acquired zulily on October 1, 2015.  Prior to the acquisition, zulily utilized a retail calendar, whereby each fiscal year ended on the Sunday closest to December 31 and each fiscal year consisted of four 13-week quarters, with one extra week added in the fourth quarter every five to six years.  Upon acquisition by Liberty, zulily changed to a calendar year end on a prospective basis. zulily’s results for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015 are not included in Liberty’s condensed consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Although zulily’s results are only included in Liberty’s results since October 1, 2015, we believe a discussion of zulily’s stand alone results promotes a better understanding of the overall results of its business. zulily has reclassified certain costs between financial statement line items to conform with Liberty’s reporting structure for ease of comparability for all reporting periods. zulily's stand-alone operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 28, 2015 were as follows:

zulily's consolidated net revenue increased 23.2% and 19.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily attributed to a 21% increase in total orders, combined with a 2% increase in average order value, as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2015.  The increase in net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily attributed to a 20% increase in total orders as compared to the six months ended June 28, 2015. 

zulily's gross profit percentage was 29.8% and 28.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. zulily's gross profit percentage was 29.1% and 28.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 28, 2015, respectively. For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, the increase was primarily attributed to improved operational efficiency as a result of investments in transportation and fulfillment center technology. 

zulily’s operating expenses are principally comprised of credit card processing fees and customer service expenses.  For both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, the increase in operating expenses was primarily attributed to an increase in credit card processing fees which are driven by higher sales volume.

I-39

zulily’s SG&A expenses include personnel related costs for general corporate functions, marketing and advertising expenses, information technology, and the costs associated with the use by these functions of facilities and equipment, including rent. These expenses increased $5 million and $2 million, and as a percentage of net revenue, decreased from 20.9% to 18.3% and 21.9% to 18.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenue due to top-line revenue growth over a partially fixed cost base. 

zulily’s depreciation and amortization expense increased $64 million and $121 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.  The increase is attributed to depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets recognized in purchase accounting.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations by our 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. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. As of June 30, 2016, our debt is comprised of the following amounts:

	Variable rate debt				Fixed rate debt
			Weighted				Weighted
	Principal		average		Principal		average
	amount		interest rate		amount		interest rate
	dollar amounts in millions
QVC Group
QVC	$	1,675	1.7	%	$	3,626	4.6	%
Corporate and other	$	—	—	%	$	1,136	6.1	%
Ventures Group
Corporate and other	$	396	3.3	%	$	1,427	3.3	%

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

At June 30, 2016, the fair value of our AFS securities was $1,704 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at June 30, 2016, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $170 million lower.  Our investments in Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc. and FTD Companies, Inc. are publicly traded securities and are accounted for as equity method affiliates, which are not reflected at fair value in our balance sheet.  The aggregate fair value of such securities was $3,743 million at June 30, 2016 and had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at June 30, 2016, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $374 million lower. Such changes in value are not directly reflected in our statement of operations.  At June 30, 2016, the fair value of our investment in Liberty Broadband was $2,561 million. Had the market price of such security been 10% lower at June 30, 2016, the fair value of such security would have been $256 million lower. Additionally, our exchangeable senior debentures are also subject to market risk.

I-40

Because we mark these instruments to fair value each reporting date, increases in the stock price of the respective underlying security and decreases in interest rates generally result in higher liabilities and unrealized losses in our statement of operations.

Liberty is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related primarily to the monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of QVC's 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 generally 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 accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' 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 translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the period. Accordingly, Liberty may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. QVC's reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 would have been impacted by approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively, for every 1% change in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar.

We periodically assess the effectiveness of our derivative financial instruments. With regard to interest rate swaps, we monitor the fair value of interest rate swaps as well as the effective interest rate the interest rate swap yields, in comparison to historical interest rate trends. We believe that any losses incurred with regard to interest rate swaps would be largely offset by the effects of interest rate movements on the underlying debt facilities. These measures allow our management to evaluate the success of our use of derivative instruments and to determine when to enter into or exit from derivative instruments.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its chief executive officer and its principal accounting and financial officer (the "Executives"), of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2016 with the consideration of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in more detail in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 under Part II, Item 9A. Management has continued to monitor the implementation of the remediation plan described in our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which has been updated below.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter of 2016, we continued to review the design of QVC’s controls, made adjustments and continued implementing controlsto alleviate the noted control deficiencies. Other than these items, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In response to the material weakness identified in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as set forth in Part II, Item 9A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company and QVC developed a plan with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to remediate the material weakness.  The remediation efforts identified and implemented include the following:

I-41

· A monitoring control was established to identify inappropriate user access and incompatible or conflicting functions. The work of the identified individuals, with such duties, were then reviewed to determine whether they inappropriately utilized the incompatible or conflicting functions to perform any inappropriate activity.

· Monitoring controls over manual and post-close journal entries were enhanced to ensure that there is adequate oversight over such entries.

· Additionally, procedures were established to validate the completeness and accuracy of reports used in the financial reporting process to support control activities.

The Company believes the foregoing efforts effectively remediated the material weakness described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” after the assessment date and prior to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  However, because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful on-going remediation of this material weakness will require on-going review and evidence of effectiveness. Additionally, QVC intends to continue to monitor the incompatible or conflicting roles and related end user access to determine whether additional adjustment to reduce or eliminate the occurrences of segregation of duties issues should be made to such roles. This could further reduce the reliance on the monitoring controls identified.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates have operations outside of the United States that are subject to numerous operational and financial risks. Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates have operations in countries other than the United States that are subject to the following risks inherent in international operations:

· fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

· longer payment cycles for sales in foreign countries that may increase the uncertainty associated with recoverable accounts;

· recessionary conditions and economic instability, including fiscal policies that are implementing austerity measures in certain countries, which are affecting overseas markets;

· limited ability to repatriate funds to the U.S. at favorable tax rates;

· potentially adverse tax consequences;

· export and import restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;

· increases in taxes and governmental royalties and fees;

· the ability to obtain and maintain required licenses that enable us to operate our business in foreign jurisdictions;

· changes in foreign and U.S. laws, regulations and policies that govern operations of foreign-based companies;

· changes to general consumer protection laws and regulations;

· difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and

· threatened and actual terrorist attacks, political unrest in international markets and ongoing military action around the world that may result in disruptions of service that are critical to QVC’s international businesses.

Moreover, in many foreign countries, particularly in certain developing economies, it is not uncommon to encounter business practices that are prohibited by certain regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws. Although certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates have undertaken compliance efforts with respect to these laws, their respective employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which they outsource certain of their business operations, may take actions in violation of their policies and procedures. Any such violation, even if prohibited by the policies and procedures of these subsidiaries and business affiliates or the law, could have certain adverse effects on the financial condition of these subsidiaries and business affiliates. Any failure by these subsidiaries and business affiliates to effectively manage the challenges associated with the international operation of their businesses could materially adversely affect their, and hence our, financial condition.

We may be subject to risks relating to the referendum of the U.K.’s membership of the European Union.In June 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union (the “E.U.”), commonly referred to as “Brexit.”  As a result of the referendum, it is expected that the U.K. government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, it is possible that there will be greater restrictions on imports and exports between the U.K. and E.U. countries. Additionally, when the U.K. exits from the E.U., we anticipate that there may be certain regulatory changes that may impact the regulatory regime under which we operate in both the U.K. and the E.U.  The announcement of Brexit has resulted in significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we conduct business. As described elsewhere in this 10-Q, we translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial statements. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported international revenue is reduced because foreign currencies translate into fewer U.S. dollars. The announcement of Brexit may also create global economic uncertainty, which may cause our customers to closely monitor their costs and reduce their spending budget on our products.  These and other changes, implications and consequences of the Brexit may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share Repurchase Programs

On several occasions our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program for our Series A and Series B QVC Group common stock. On each of May 5, 2006, November 3, 2006 and October 30, 2007 our board authorized the repurchase of $1 billion of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock for a total of $3 billion. These previous authorizations remained effective following the LMC Split-Off, notwithstanding the fact that the Liberty Interactive common stock ceased to be a tracking stock during the period following the LMC Split-Off and prior to the creation of our Liberty Ventures common stock in August 2012.  On February 22, 2012 the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $700 million of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock.  Additionally, on each of October 30, 2012 and February 27, 2014, the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $1 billion of Series A and Series B Liberty Interactive common stock. In connection with the spin-off of the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., during August 2014, the board authorized $350 million for the repurchase of either the QVC Group or Liberty Ventures tracking stocks. In October 2014, the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $650 million of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock.   In August 2015, the board authorized the repurchase of an additional $1 billion of Series A or Series B QVC Group common stock.

A summary of the repurchase activity for the three months ended June 30, 2016 is as follows:

Unaudited Attributed Financial Information for Tracking Stock Groups

The following tables present our assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2016, revenue and expenses for three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The tables further present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that are attributed to the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, respectively.  The financial information in this Exhibit should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As discussed in note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Liberty sold Backcountry.com, Inc. (“Backcountry”) on June 30, 2015.  Backcountry is not presented as a discontinued operation as the sale did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on Liberty’s operations and financial results.

As discussed in note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on October 1, 2015, Liberty acquired all of the outstanding shares of zulily, inc. (“zulily”) (now known as zulily, llc). zulily is an online retailer offering customers a fun and entertaining shopping experience with a fresh selection of new product styles launched each day.  zulily is attributed to the QVC Group.  

The QVC Group common stock is intended to reflect the separate performance of our QVC Group which is comprised of our consolidated subsidiaries, QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) and zulily, and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc. The Liberty Ventures common stock is intended to reflect the separate performance of our Ventures Group which is comprised primarily of our interests in Bodybuilding.com, LLC (“Bodybuilding”), CommerceHub (until July 22, 2016), Evite, Inc. (“Evite”) and Backcountry (through June 30, 2015), interests in Expedia, Inc., FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”), LendingTree, Inc. and Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) and available-for-sale securities Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc. 

Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, our tracking stock structure does not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to our assets or responsibility for our liabilities. We and our subsidiaries are each responsible for our respective liabilities. Holders of QVC Group common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock are holders of our common stock and are subject to risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. The issuance of QVC Group common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock does not affect the rights of our creditors or creditors of our subsidiaries.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information

(unaudited)

(1) At June 30, 2016, the QVC Group is comprised of our consolidated subsidiaries, QVC and zulily, and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., accounted for under the equity method.  Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the QVC Group includes the foregoing investment, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of QVC and zulily.  We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the QVC Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the QVC Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the QVC Group.  The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the QVC Group and the Ventures Group are described in note 4 below.  In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the QVC Group and the Ventures Group as described in note 5 below.

At June 30, 2016, the QVC Group is primarily comprised of our merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, Internet and mobile application businesses.  Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the QVC Group.

At June 30, 2016, the Ventures Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the QVC Group, including Bodybuilding, CommerceHub and Evite, interests in Expedia, Inc., FTD, LendingTree, Inc. and Liberty Broadband and available-for-sale securities Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc.  Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Ventures Group includes these investments as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of Bodybuilding, CommerceHub and Evite. In addition, we have attributed to the Ventures Group all of our senior exchangeable debentures (and related interest expense).  See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Ventures Group.

As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on May 18, 2016, Liberty completed a $2.4 billion investment in Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) in connection with the merger of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC"). The proceeds of this investment were used by Liberty Broadband to fund, in part, its acquisition of $5 billion of stock in the new public parent company (“New Charter”) of the combined enterprises. Liberty, along with third party investors, all of whom invested on the same terms as Liberty, purchased newly issued shares of Liberty Broadband Series C common stock at a per share price of $56.23, which was determined based upon the fair value of Liberty Broadband's net assets on a sum-of-the parts basis at the time the investment agreements were executed. Liberty's investment in Liberty Broadband was funded using cash on hand and is attributed to the Ventures Group.

As previously discussed, on October 1, 2015, Liberty acquired all of the outstanding shares of zulily for consideration of approximately $2.3 billion, comprised of $9.375 of cash and 0.3098 newly issued shares of Series A QVC Group common stock for each zulily share, plus cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. Effective October 1, 2015, zulily is attributed to the QVC Group and we believe that its business is complementary to QVC’s.

As previously discussed, Liberty sold Backcountry on June 30, 2015 for aggregate consideration, including assumption of debt, amounts held in escrow, and a noncontrolling interest, of approximately $350 million. The sale resulted in a $105 million gain, which is included in “Gains (losses) on dispositions, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. 

Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the QVC Group will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

(1)  As discussed in note 1, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, Liberty exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of New Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of New Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty in the exchange.

(2) On May 12, 2016, Interval Leisure Group (“Interval”) completed an acquisition which was accomplished, in part, through the issuance of additional Interval shares.  As a result of the share issuance, Liberty’s ownership interest in Interval was reduced from approximately 28.7% to approximately 12.8%. Prior to the transaction, Interval was accounted for as an equity method investment.  As a result of the transaction, Liberty does not have ability to exercise significant influence.  Accordingly, Interval is classified as available-for-sale and is carried at fair value.

Investment in Liberty Broadband

As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, on May 18, 2016, Liberty invested $2.4 billion in Liberty Broadband Series C nonvoting shares. As of June 30, 2016, Liberty has a 24% economic ownership interest in Liberty Broadband. Due to overlapping boards of directors and management, Liberty has been deemed to have significant influence over Liberty Broadband even though Liberty does not have any voting rights. Liberty has elected to apply the fair value option for its investment in Liberty Broadband as it is believed that the Company’s investors value this investment based on the trading price of Liberty Broadband. Liberty recognizes changes in the fair value of its investment in Liberty Broadband in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(5) Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees is allocated between the QVC Group and the Ventures Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group.  On a semi-annual basis, estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group, which would require a more timely reevaluation of estimated time spent.  Other general and administrative expenses will be charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology.  Amounts allocated from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group were determined to be $8 million and $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $17 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  We note that stock compensation related to each tracking stock group is determined based on actual options outstanding for each respective tracking stock group.

While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

(1)   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty Interactive Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, "Liberty" or the "Company" unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries in North America, Europe and Asia.

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2015.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liberty considers (i) fair value measurement, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) assessments of other-than-temporary declines in fair value of its investments and (iv) estimates of retail-related adjustments and allowances to be its most significant estimates.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.  The new guidance 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. This new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which clarifies principal versus agent considerations, and in April 2016, the FASB issued further guidance which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the implementation guidance for licensing. The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standards on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends the consolidation guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation.  The new guidance requires an entity to reconsider and re-document the basis for previous consolidation conclusions.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016.  The adoption of this guidance did not change the conclusions reached for any previous consolidation analyses.

In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The new principle is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and applies to entities that measure inventory using a method other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has determined there is no significant effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments.  The new guidance requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which revises the accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. The new standard, to be applied via a modified retrospective transition approach, is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in the third quarter of 2016 and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that Liberty uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC"), a separate publicly traded company, neither of which has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other, in order to govern relationships between the companies. These agreements include a Reorganization Agreement, Services Agreement, Facilities Sharing Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement.

The Reorganization Agreement provides for, among other things, provisions governing the relationship between Liberty and LMC, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, LMC provides Liberty with certain general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Liberty reimburses LMC for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by LMC in providing these services and for Liberty's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Liberty. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreement, LMC shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Liberty. Under these various agreements, approximately$3 million and $2 million was reimbursable to LMC for the three months endedJune 30, 2016 and 2015 and approximately $5 million was reimbursable to LMC for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Additionally, the Tax Sharing Agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty and LMC and other agreements related to tax matters.

Tracking Stock [Abstract]

Tracking Stocks

(2)   Tracking Stocks

A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or "track" the economic performance of a particular business or "group," rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. Liberty has two tracking stocks—QVC Group common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, which are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, respectively.

While the QVC Group and the Ventures Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group's stock or assets and are not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation.

The term "QVC Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. The QVC Group is primarily comprised of our merchandise-focused televised-shopping programs, Internet and mobile application businesses and has attributed to it our wholly-owned subsidiaries, QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) and zulily (defined below) (as of October 1, 2015), and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities that reside with QVC and zulily as well as certain liabilities related to our corporate indebtedness (see note 10) and certain deferred tax liabilities. As of June 30, 2016, the QVC Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $394 million, which includes subsidiary cash.

The term "Ventures Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. The Ventures Group is primarily comprised of our subsidiaries Bodybuilding.com, LLC ("Bodybuilding"), Commerce Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a “CommerceHub”) (until July 22, 2016), Evite, Inc. ("Evite") and Backcountry.com, Inc. (“Backcountry”) (see note 3 for discussion of a disposed business) (collectively, the “Digital Commerce” businesses) and interests in Expedia, Inc., FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”), LendingTree, Inc., and Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”), available-for-sale securities in Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc., as well as cash and cash equivalents of approximately $116 million at June 30, 2016. The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our Exchangeable Debentures (see note 10) and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group is primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities. 

On May 18, 2016, Liberty completed a $2.4 billion investment in Liberty Broadband in connection with the merger of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC"). The proceeds of this investment were used by Liberty Broadband to fund, in part, its acquisition of $5 billion of stock in the new public parent company (“New Charter”) of the combined enterprises. Liberty, along with third party investors, all of whom invested on the same terms as Liberty, purchased newly issued shares of Liberty Broadband Series C common stock at a per share price of $56.23, which was determined based upon the fair value of Liberty Broadband's net assets on a sum-of-the parts basis at the time the investment agreements were executed. Liberty's investment in Liberty Broadband was funded using cash on hand and is attributed to the Ventures Group. See note 8 for additional information related to this investment.

Liberty also exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of New Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of New Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty in the exchange.

On October 1, 2015, Liberty acquired all of the outstanding shares of zulily, inc. (“zulily”) (now known as zulily, llc) for consideration of approximately $2.3 billion, comprised of $9.375 of cash and 0.3098 newly issued shares of Series A QVC Group common stock for each zulily share, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares.  Funding for the $1.2 billion cash portion of the consideration came from cash on hand at zulily and a distribution from QVC funded by a drawdown under its revolving credit facility (see note 10).  zulily is an online retailer offering customers a fun and entertaining shopping experience with a fresh selection of new product styles launched each day.  zulily is attributed to the QVC Group and we believe that its business is complementary to QVC’s. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the preliminary purchase price allocation was adjusted, resulting in decreases of $50 million to trademarks, $40 million to intangible assets subject to amortization and $33 million to deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase of $57 million to goodwill. If these adjustments had been recorded as of the acquisition date, amortization expense would have been approximately $3 million lower for the period ended December 31, 2015. There have been no other significant changes to our purchase price allocation since December 31, 2015. The initial purchase price allocation is subject to change upon receipt of the final valuation analysis for zulily. The primary balances still subject to analysis are certain intangible assets, liabilities and tax balances.  

On November 12, 2015, Liberty announced that its board of directors authorized management to pursue a plan to distribute to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of newly formed companies to be called CommerceHub, Inc. and Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (“Expedia Holdings”).  Expedia Holdings is expected to be comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s entire interest in Expedia, Inc., Liberty’s subsidiary Bodybuilding and $400 million of debt.

On July 22, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, Liberty completed its previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its former wholly-owned subsidiary CommerceHub.  The Spin-Off was accomplished by the distribution by Liberty of a dividend of (i) 0.1 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series A common stock for each outstanding share of Liberty’s Series A Liberty Ventures common stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2016 (such date and time, the “Record Date”), (ii) 0.1 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series B common stock for each outstanding share of Liberty’s Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of the Record Date and (iii) 0.2 of a share of CommerceHub’s Series C common stock for each outstanding share of Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of the Record Date, in each case, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

The applicable special shareholder meeting date, record date, distribution date and distribution ratio for the proposed split-off of Expedia Holdings will be announced at a later date. The proposed distribution is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of Liberty Ventures and will be subject to various conditions including the receipt of an opinion of tax counsel and shareholder approval. Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions, the completion of the proposed distribution is expected to occur at the end of the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2016.

See Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for unaudited attributed financial information for Liberty's tracking stock groups.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

(4)   Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are $24 million and $29 million of stock-based compensation during the three months endedJune 30,2016 and 2015, respectively, and $55 million and $44 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30,2016, Liberty granted 2.8 million options to QVC employees to purchase shares of Series A QVC Group common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.89 per share and vest semi-annually over 4 years.

During the six months ended June 30,2016, Liberty granted 347 thousand options to zulily employees to purchase shares of Series A QVC Group common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.89 per share and vest between three to five years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Liberty granted to Liberty employees 11 thousand and 386 thousand options to purchase shares of Series A QVC Group common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.79 and $8.14 per share, respectively, and vest semi-annually over four years and 50% each on December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Also during the six months ended June 30,2016, Liberty granted to Liberty employees 3 thousand and 104 thousand options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Ventures common stock.  Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.11and $12.24 per share, respectively, and vest semi-annually over four years and 50% each on December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

In connection with our CEO’s employment agreement, during the six months ended June 30,2016, Liberty also granted 730 thousand and 209 thousand options of Series B QVC Group common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively, and 53 thousand and 16 thousand performance-based restricted stock units of Series B QVC Group common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively.  Such options had a grant-date fair value of $7.47 per share and $12.48 per share, respectively. The restricted stock units had a fair value of $25.11 per share and $38.79 per share, respectively, at the time they were granted. The options vest on December 31, 2016 and the restrictedstock units cliff vest in oneyear, subject to satisfaction of certain performance objectives.  Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is remeasured at each reporting period.

The Company has calculated the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified Awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified and certain performance-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty's stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

Certain of the Company's other subsidiaries have stock based compensation plans under which employees and non-employees are granted options or similar stock based awards. Awards made under these plans vest and become exercisable over various terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately $90 million of cash payments were made to settle CommerceHub stock based awards. The awards and compensation recorded, if any, under other subsidiary compensation plans are not significant to Liberty.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

(5)   Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during periods in which losses are reported since the result would be antidilutive.

Series A and Series B QVC Group Common Stock

Excluded from diluted EPS, for the three months endedJune 30,2016 and 2015, are 13 million and 4 million potential common shares, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. Excluded from diluted EPS, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are 13 million and 4 million potential common shares, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Assets And Liabilities Measured At Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Assets And Liabilities Measured At Fair Value

(6)   Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements at				Fair Value Measurements at
	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
			Quoted			Quoted
			prices			prices
			in active	Significant		in active	Significant
			markets for	other		markets for	other
			identical	observable		identical	observable
			assets	inputs		assets	inputs

Short term marketable securities	$	—	—	—	910	331	579

Debt	$	1,773	—	1,773	2,480	—	2,480

The majority of the Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities are primarily debt instruments with quoted market prices that are not considered to be traded on "active markets," as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs. 

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:

Investment in Liberty Broadband

As discussed in note 2, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, on May 18, 2016, Liberty invested $2.4 billion in Liberty Broadband Series C nonvoting shares. As of June 30, 2016, Liberty has a 24% economic ownership interest in Liberty Broadband. Due to overlapping boards of directors and management, Liberty has been deemed to have significant influence over Liberty Broadband even though Liberty does not have any voting rights. Liberty has elected to apply the fair value option for its investment in Liberty Broadband as it is believed that the Company’s investors value this investment based on the trading price of Liberty Broadband. Liberty recognizes changes in the fair value of its investment in Liberty Broadband in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

QVC Bank Credit Facilities

On March 9, 2015, QVC amended and restated its senior secured credit facility (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which was a multi-currency facility that provided for a $2.25 billion revolving credit facility with a $250 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit and $1.5 billion of uncommitted incremental revolving loan commitments or incremental term loans.

On June 23, 2016, QVC amended and restated its senior secured credit facility (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with zulily as co-borrower. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is a multi-currency facility that provides for a $2.65 billion revolving credit facility, with a $300 million total sub-limit for standby letters of credit and $1.5 billion of uncommitted incremental revolving loan commitments or incremental term loans. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes a $400 million tranche that may be borrowed by QVC and zulily, as co-borrowers.  The remaining $2.25 billion and any incremental loans may be borrowed only by QVC. The borrowers may elect that the loans extended under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR or LIBOR, as each is defined in the senior secured credit facility agreement, plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.75% depending on various factors. Each loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty other than customary breakage costs. No mandatory prepayments are required other than when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed availability; provided that, if zulily ceases to be controlled by Liberty, all of its loans must be repaid and its letters of credit cash collateralized. Any amounts prepaid on the revolving facility may be reborrowed. The facility matures on June 23, 2021, except that $140 million of the $2.25 billion commitment available to QVC matures on March 9, 2020. Borrowings under the facility may be accelerated following certain customary events of default.

The payment and performance of the borrowers’ obligations (including zulily’s obligations) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of QVC’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries. Further, the borrowings under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured, pari passu with QVC’s existing notes, by a pledge of all of QVC’s equity interests.  The payment and performance of the borrowers’ obligations with respect to the $400 million tranche available to both QVC and zulily are also guaranteed by each of zulily’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries, if any, and are secured by a pledge of all of zulily’s equity interests.

The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions on QVC and zulily and each of their restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) with respect to, among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on property or assets; making certain loans or investments; selling or disposing of assets; paying certain dividends and other restricted payments; dissolving, consolidating or merging; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; entering into sale or leaseback transactions; restricting subsidiary distributions; limiting QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is defined in QVC’s senior secured credit facility as QVC’s consolidated total debt to Adjusted OIBDA ratio for the most recent four fiscal quarter period; and limiting the borrowers’ combined consolidated leverage ratio, which is defined in QVC’s senior secured credit facility as QVC and zulily’s combined debt to Adjusted OIBDA ratio for the most recent four fiscal quarter period. Liberty defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation).

The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the QVC Bank Credit Facilities was 1.9% at June 30, 2016. Availability under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at June 30, 2016 was $975 million. 

Ventures Margin Loan

On May 13, 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary attributed to the Ventures Group entered into a margin loan agreement which provides for $450 million of available borrowings. Pursuant to the margin loan agreement, approximately 5 million shares of Charter Communications, Inc. common stock was pledged as collateral. Interest on the margin loan accrues at a rate of 2.65% plus LIBOR.  The margin loan matures on November 13, 2017. As of June 30, 2016, $375 million was outstanding under the margin loan. 

Expedia Margin Loan

Subsequent to June 30, 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary attributed to the Ventures Group entered into a margin loan agreement which provides for $300 million of available borrowings. Pursuant to the margin loan agreement, Liberty’s shares of Expedia were pledged as collateral. Interest on the margin loan accrues at a rate of 2.60% plus LIBOR.  The margin loan matures on the earlier of the Expedia Holdings split-off date or December 31, 2016.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures

Liberty has elected to account for the exchangeable senior debentures using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statements of operations.  As of June 30, 2016 the balance of the 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029, the 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2030 and the 3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031 have been classified as current because Liberty does not own shares to redeem the debentures.  For the remaining exchangeables, Liberty reviews the terms of the debentures on a quarterly basis to determine whether a triggering event has occurred to require current classification of the exchangeables upon a call event.  The 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2043 and 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures are classified as current as of June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, holders exchanged, under the terms of the debentures, approximately $321 million principal of Liberty’s 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and Liberty made cash payments of approximately $540 million to settle the obligations. In addition, in conjunction with the Liberty Broadband transaction (see note 2), an extraordinary distribution of approximately $325 million was paid to holders of the 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, holders exchanged, under the terms of the debentures, approximately $148 million principal of Liberty’s 0.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures and Liberty elected to make cash payments to settle the obligations of approximately $173 million.

Liberty has delivered a notice to holders of the 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2043 notifying them of their right to surrender their 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures for purchase by Liberty pursuant to their purchase option  under the indenture.  The purchase option entitles each holder to require Liberty to purchase on October 5, 2016 all or any part of such holder’s 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures at a purchase price equal to the adjusted principal amount per $1,000 original principal amount of debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, October 5, 2016, plus any final period distribution.

Debt Covenants

Liberty, QVC and zulily are in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2016.

Other Subsidiary Debt

Other subsidiary debt at June 30, 2016 is comprised of capitalized satellite transponder lease obligations and bank debt of certain subsidiaries.

Fair Value of Debt

Liberty estimates the fair value of its debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rate offered to Liberty for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2). The fair value of Liberty's publicly traded debt securities that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 are as follows (amounts in millions):

Senior debentures	$	855
QVC senior secured notes	$	3,599

Due to the variable rate nature, Liberty believes that the carrying amount of its other debt, not discussed above, approximated fair value at June 30, 2016.

Distribution Center Lease

On July 2, 2015, QVC entered into a lease (the “Lease”) for a west coast distribution center. Pursuant to the Lease, the landlord is building an approximately one million square foot rental building in Ontario, California (the “Premises”), and thereafter will lease the Premises to QVC as its new west coast distribution center for an initial term of 15 years. Under the Lease, QVC is required to pay an initial base rent of approximately $6 million per year, increasing to approximately $8 million per year by the final year of the initial term, as well as all real estate taxes and other building operating costs. QVC also has an option to extend the term of the Lease for up to two consecutive terms of 10 years each.

QVC has the right to purchase the Premises and related land from the landlord by entering into an amended and restated agreement at any time during the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth months of the Lease's initial term with a $10 million initial payment and annual payments of $12 million over a term of 13 years.

QVC has concluded that it is the deemed owner (for accounting purposes only) of the Premises during the construction period under build to suit lease accounting. Building construction began in July of 2015. During the construction period, QVC is recording estimated project construction costs incurred by the landlord as a projects in progress asset and a corresponding long-term liability in “Property and equipment, net” and “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively. In addition, QVC will pay for normal tenant improvements and certain structural improvements and will record these amounts as part of the projects in progress asset. As of June 30, 2016 the projects in progress asset and long-term liability related to the west coast distribution center were approximately $100 million.

Litigation

Liberty has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible Liberty may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Information About Liberty's Operating Segments

Information About Liberty's Operating Segments

(13)   Information About Liberty's Operating Segments

Liberty, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries. Liberty identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of Liberty's annual pre-tax earnings.

Liberty evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, Liberty reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate.

Liberty defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Liberty believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, certain purchase accounting adjustments, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liberty generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

For the six months ended June 30,2016, Liberty has identified the following consolidated subsidiaries as its reportable segments:

· QVC - a consolidated subsidiary that markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites and mobile applications.

· zulily – a consolidated subsidiary that markets and sells unique products in the United States and several foreign countries through flash sales events, primarily through its desktop and mobile websites and mobile applications.

Liberty's operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant accounting policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2015.

(1) As discussed in note 2, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, Liberty exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of New Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of New Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty in the exchange.

On May 12, 2016, Interval Leisure Group (“Interval”) completed an acquisition which was accomplished, in part, through the issuance of additional Interval shares.  As a result of the share issuance, Liberty’s ownership interest in Interval was reduced from approximately 28.7% to approximately 12.8%.  Prior to the transaction, Interval was accounted for as an equity method investment.  As a result of the transaction, Liberty does not have ability to exercise significant influence.  Accordingly, Interval is classified as available-for-sale and is carried at fair value.
