Board of Directors announced their intent to return capital to shareholders via a potential dividend, subject to official declaration, consisting of:
- Special dividend of cash equal to $1.50 per share of common stock
- Special dividend of preferred stock equivalent to $3.00 in initial liquidation value per share with 8.0% dividend rate subject to mandatory redemption in the first quarter of 2031

“Qurate posted tremendous results, utilizing the flexibility of its operating model to meet customers’ changing demands,” said Greg Maffei, Qurate Retail Chairman. “These solid operating results, along with the pending sale of one of our green energy investments, is driving a high level of free cash flow. With increased confidence in the strength of the business, we are pleased to announce our intended return of capital to shareholders in two forms: a one-time cash dividend and a one-time preferred stock dividend. We believe the preferred stock dividend will be an efficient, ongoing instrument to return capital to our shareholders. Qurate will continue to seek the most effective solutions for delivering free cash flow to shareholders on an ongoing basis while maintaining our stated leverage target.”

Key actions in the quarter:

Focused on protecting the health and financial well-being of team members. Team members who can work from home will continue to do so, until at least early 2021, with some working from home permanently. Social distancing, mandatory mask requirements and stringent safety and sanitation protocols are in effect at all sites. Qurate Retail provided special pay and work from home allowances and continues to provide leave, medical and other benefits.
Committed over $40 million to community support and team member relief. The company facilitated significant support for those impacted by the pandemic, including contributions to Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, Cancer and Careers and a variety of other organizations around the world; partnered with the National Retail Federation to support and celebrate small businesses; established a team member relief fund; elevated its commitment to racial and economic justice within the company and around the world, including support for the Equal Justice Initiative.
Rapidly adapted product offerings, merchandising, marketing, and on-air and online programming to be in tune with what customers most cared about throughout the various stages of the pandemic. Achieved meaningfully improved sales and new customer growth trends across business segments in the second quarter.
Executed a significant, strategic pull back on promotional activity across all businesses, to provide a better foundation for healthy, sustainable product margins while also managing elevated demand.
Took a variety of actions to simplify and streamline its operating structure as it accelerated its strategic plan and incorporated key operational learnings from its COVID response. This necessitated separating with approximately 450 team members in July, incurring $20 million of severance costs in the second quarter. Qurate Retail also closed QVC customer contact centers in San Antonio, Texas and Chesapeake, Virginia and the Zulily customer contact center and digital studio in Gahanna, Ohio as the businesses shifted to permanent work from home positions in those locations.
Further strengthened its balance sheet with prudent inventory reductions, more conservative credit practices and a new trade payables program.

Corporate Updates

Qurate Retail today announced that its Board of Directors intends to distribute a special dividend consisting of (i) cash in the amount of $1.50 per common share, for an aggregate cash dividend of approximately $633 million and (ii) newly issued 8.0% fixed rate cumulative redeemable preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) equivalent to $3.00 in initial liquidation value per common share, for an aggregate issuance of approximately $1.3 billion aggregate liquidation preference. The dividend has not yet been declared and is subject to formal approval by a committee of the board, but is currently expected to be payable on September 14^th to holders of record of Qurate Retail’s Series A and Series B common stock as of the close of business on August 31^st. Holders of the Preferred Shares are expected to receive quarterly cash dividends at a fixed rate of 8.0% per year. The Preferred Shares are expected to be non-voting, to be subject to mandatory redemption in the first quarter of 2031 and to trade separate from the common shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol QRTEP following the date of distribution. The distribution of the Preferred Shares is intended to be tax-free to shareholders. John Malone, a member of Qurate Retail’s board of directors, and Greg Maffei have indicated their intention to be long-term holders of the preferred, which will collectively represent approximately 8% of the Preferred Shares outstanding on the distribution date.

As of July 31, 2020, there are 387.5 million shares of QRTEA common stock and 29.4 million shares of QRTEB common stock outstanding. Additional detail regarding the aforementioned potential dividend and its formal declarations are expected to be announced by press release at a later date, including details on when-issued trading.

QxH

QxH reported revenue growth in the home, electronics and beauty categories, which were partially offset by declines in apparel and jewelry.

Product margins decreased primarily due to category mix shifts and pricing and promotional offers early in the second quarter. Gross margin decreased primarily due to higher fulfillment (warehouse and freight) costs mainly associated with COVID-related premium pay in our fulfillment centers, lower productivity due to COVID-related protocols, reduced pack factor and general freight rate increases. These factors were partially offset by favorable customer returns. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin⁽³⁾ were also impacted by $9 million of incremental severance expense, higher marketing expense and incentive compensation accruals, partially offset by favorable TV commissions.

QVC International

US Dollar denominated results were slightly negatively affected by exchange rate fluctuations, primarily due to the Dollar strengthening 3% versus the British Pound and 2% against the Euro, offset by weakening 2% versus the Japanese Yen. The financial metrics presented in this press release also provide a comparison of the percentage change in QVC International’s results in constant currency (where applicable) to the comparable figures calculated in accordance with US GAAP for the second quarter of 2020.

QVC International constant currency revenue increased, driven by increases in units shipped across all markets. Gross margin decreased due to higher inventory obsolescence expense and lower product margins from product mix shifts primarily to home. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily due to lower administrative costs and leverage of operating expenses, partially offset by higher incentive compensation accrual. Operating income margin also benefited from comping approximately $17 million of costs incurred in the second quarter of 2019 related to the closure of QVC France, which terminated its operations on March 13, 2019.

Zulily

Zulily revenue increased on higher unit volume and average selling price. Gross margin increased primarily due to higher product margins and sales leverage of warehouse expense, partially offset by higher freight costs. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily due to lower marketing and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher incentive compensation accrual. Additionally, Zulily recognized a $10 million reduction in a sales tax accrual during the second quarter of 2020, which was originally recorded at the acquisition date and is included in selling, general and administrative expense.

Cornerstone

Cornerstone revenue increased due to strong demand in its home brands (Frontgate, Ballard Designs, and Grandin Road), partially offset by weakness in apparel at Garnet Hill. Cornerstone re-opened most of its retail stores by the end of the second quarter.

Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily from the strength of the home brand’s revenue and gross margin expansion as well as leverage in marketing expense, partially offset by higher incentive compensation accrual and organizational restructuring expense. Gross margin expansion was mainly driven by higher product margins, which were partially offset by an inventory obsolescence provision for Ryllace (marketing for this new business has been paused due to the pandemic, while future plans are reassessed) and higher fulfillment expense.

c)	Face amount of Senior Exchangeable Debentures with no reduction for the fair market value adjustment.

Cash at Qurate Retail increased $393 million in the second quarter as cash from operations more than offset debt repayments and capital expenditures. Total debt at Qurate Retail decreased by $525 million in the second quarter driven by the repayment of QVC’s bank credit facility.

QVC’s bank credit facility is undrawn as of June 30, 2020 with available capacity of $2.9 billion, net of letters of credit. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2023. Qurate Retail does not have any maturity of senior secured notes until 2022 and believes that it will be able to repay these notes with available cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facility or through refinancing in the public debt market. Qurate Retail is in compliance with all debt covenants, and QVC, Inc.’s leverage ratio as defined in its credit agreement was 2.0x as of June 30, 2020.

Qurate Retail benefits from an indemnification agreement with GCI Liberty with respect to its Charter exchangeable debentures. The indemnification agreement compensates Qurate Retail for any payments made in excess of the adjusted principal amount of the debentures to any holder that exercises its exchange right on or before the put/call date of October 5, 2023. This indemnity is supported by a negative pledge in favor of Qurate Retail on the 1.0 million reference shares of Class A common stock of Charter held at GCI Liberty that underlie the Charter exchangeable debentures. The indemnification asset on Qurate Retail’s balance sheet is valued based on the estimated exchange feature in the Charter exchangeable debentures. As of June 30, 2020, a holder of the Charter exchangeable debentures has the ability to exchange, and accordingly, the exchangeable debentures and indemnification asset were both classified as current as of June 30, 2020. There is $332 million principal amount of the Charter exchangeable debentures outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and Qurate Retail expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Qurate Retail's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Qurate Retail, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), Zulily and Cornerstone together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses’ operating income, as determined under GAAP. Qurate Retail defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs and impairments. Further, this press release includes Adjusted OIBDA margin which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Qurate Retail defines Adjusted OIBDA margin as Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.

Qurate Retail believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Qurate Retail views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Qurate Retail's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.

In addition, this press release includes references to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, for Qurate Retail. Qurate Retail defines adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of acquisition accounting amortization (net of deferred tax benefit), mark to market adjustments on certain public debt and equity securities and other one-time adjustments. Qurate Retail defines adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share plus the diluted per share effects of certain adjustments, net of tax.

Qurate Retail believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are important indicators of financial performance due to the impact of purchase accounting amortization, mark to market adjustments and other one-time items identified in Schedule 3 below. Because adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are used as measures of overall financial performance, Qurate Retail views net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are not meant to replace or supersede net income, diluted earnings per share or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with a supplemental metric of financial performance. Please see the attached schedules for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income (loss) and adjusted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share, in each case, calculated in accordance with GAAP for Qurate Retail (Schedule 3).

This press release also references certain financial metrics on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, for Qurate Retail. Constant currency financial metrics, as presented herein, are calculated by translating the current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency.

Qurate Retail believes constant currency financial metrics are an important indicator of financial performance, in particular for QVC, due to the translational impact of foreign currency fluctuations relating to its subsidiaries in the UK, Germany, Italy and Japan. We use constant currency financial metrics to provide a framework to assess how our businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Please see the financial tables at the beginning of this press release for a reconciliation of the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on revenue, operating income, Adjusted OIBDA and average selling price.
