LIBERTY INTERACTIVE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
 

Englewood, Colorado, November 8, 2011 - Liberty Interactive Corporation (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB) today reported third quarter results. Highlights include(1):

Grew consolidated QVC revenue by 6% with strength in Japan and Germany
Adjusted OIBDA(2) increased 1%, excluding the effects of the new agreement with GE Capital Retail Bank and QVC Italy launch, adjusted OIBDA grew 2%
Operating income decreased less than 1%, excluding the effects of the new agreement with GE Capital Retail Bank and QVC Italy launch, operating income grew 2%
Agreed to purchase additional 1.5 million shares of HSN, scheduled to close in the fourth quarter, which will increase ownership to 34%
Repurchased $173 million of Liberty Interactive stock from August 1st through October 31st, 2011
Reduced interest rate on the bank credit facility by 25 basis points due to the improved credit rating of QVC's senior secured debt by S&P
During the quarter, QVC reduced bank debt by $160 million, decreasing leverage ratio to 1.5x
Reduced bank leverage ratio will result in additional 25 basis point reduction at the end of November

“QVC continued to produce solid results, in a challenging macroeconomic environment with particularly strong performance in Japan and Germany,” stated Greg Maffei, Liberty Interactive President and CEO. “We were very pleased to complete the split-off of Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz on September 23rd, making Liberty Interactive a standalone company. And we took advantage of the soft equity markets and agreed to increase our stake in HSN and repurchased almost $173 million of Liberty Interactive stock.”
 





Liberty Interactive's revenue increased 8% to $2.1 billion and adjusted OIBDA increased 1% to $377 million, while operating income increased 2% to $224 million. The increase in revenue, adjusted OIBDA, and operating income for the quarter were primarily due to favorable results at QVC.

QVC
QVC's consolidated net revenue increased 6% in the third quarter to $1.9 billion, adjusted OIBDA increased 1% to $373 million and operating income declined slightly to $234 million.

“QVC achieved 6% consolidated net revenue growth including 2% growth in the US and 14% growth in our international markets,” stated Mike George, QVC President and CEO. “We saw continued strong growth in Germany, encouraging gains in Japan, and growing momentum in Italy. Excluding the previously discussed change in our QCard program with GE Capital Retail Bank, our adjusted OIBDA growth would have been up 2%, this on top of 8% in growth last year. Our eCommerce worldwide revenue grew 19% and now represents 30% of QVC's consolidated net revenue. Revenue from new customers grew 29% in the US, representing our highest growth rate since 2009. QVC remains focused on growing sales and gaining share in the current retail environment by offering differentiated and compelling products, engaging our customers on all the screens and devices they interact with daily, and expanding globally.”

QVC's domestic revenue increased 2% in the third quarter to $1.2 billion and adjusted OIBDA decreased 1% to $259 million compared to the third quarter 2010. Gross product revenue increased 5% compared to prior year third quarter, however, a 13% increase in average selling price from $48.30 to $54.49 and a 7% decline in units sold resulted in a decline in shipping and handling revenue bringing the overall revenue growth down to 2%. Our eCommerce revenue increased 16% to $422 million from $364 million in the third quarter and grew to 35% from 31% as a percentage of US sales. The product mix continued to show a steady growth in electronics, accessories, beauty and kitchen whereas jewelry sales declined. Overall, the US adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 71 basis points to 21.7% for the quarter. Excluding the previously disclosed August 2010 change in our QCard program with GE Capital Retail Bank which negatively impacted adjusted OIBDA by approximately $3 million for the quarter, the US adjusted OIBDA increased slightly and the adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 46 basis points in the third quarter. While the US achieved savings in freight and warehouse costs due to the decreased volume, these savings were more than offset by the decline in shipping and handling revenue previously mentioned.

QVC's international revenue increased 14% in the third quarter to $690 million from $604 million including the impact of favorable exchange rates in each of our markets. International adjusted OIBDA increased 6% to $114 million and adjusted OIBDA margins decreased 136 basis points for the quarter. QVC's international third quarter results include $11 million of adjusted OIBDA loss compared to a $9 million loss in the prior year related to QVC Italy operations that launched in October 2010. Excluding the effects of QVC Italy, international adjusted OIBDA would have increased 7% and adjusted OIBDA margins would have decreased 99 basis points for the quarter.






QVC UK's revenue decreased 4% in local currency in the third quarter due primarily to a decline in sales of our electronics and jewelry categories, partially offset by increased sales in home, apparel and accessories. QVC UK's average selling price in local currency decreased 1% and units sold remained consistent at 3.6 million for the third quarter. QVC UK's adjusted OIBDA decreased 8% in local currency and the adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 56 basis points due primarily to increased freight costs and higher programming distribution costs associated with their second channel, QVC Beauty Channel, partially offset by increased product margins and lower inventory obsolescence expense.

QVC Germany's revenue grew 8% in local currency in the quarter driven by increased sales of electronics, jewelry, beauty and nutrition product categories. QVC Germany's average selling price in local currency increased 5% for the third quarter and units sold increased 5%. QVC Germany's returns as a percent of gross product revenue increased 209 basis points from the prior period due in part to a product mix shift to higher return categories including jewelry. QVC Germany's adjusted OIBDA decreased 4% in local currency and the adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 197 basis points due to lower initial margins and increased inventory obsolescence, partially offset by favorable customer service costs. This decline in adjusted OIBDA was expected as QVC Germany experienced adjusted OIBDA growth of 25% in the third quarter of 2010.

QVC Japan's revenue grew 4% in local currency in the third quarter due to increased sales primarily in apparel. QVC Japan's market has rebounded after the tragic events experienced in March with positive sequential year over year growth achieved each month in the quarter. QVC Japan achieved growth of 16% in units sold for the quarter with the average selling price in local currency declining 10%. QVC Japan's adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 3% and the adjusted OIBDA margin declined 51 basis points due to increased marketing expense primarily related to the naming rights to QVC Marine Field baseball stadium.

QVC Italy continues the trend upward with a 61% sequential sales growth over the second quarter of 2011 driven primarily by sales in the home and beauty product areas. QVC Italy continues to invest in a strong marketing campaign to build awareness and accelerate new customer acquisition, and continues to monitor these and other fixed costs as they leverage their cost structure.

QVC's outstanding bank and bond debt was $2.5 billion at September 30th, 2011.

eCommerce Businesses
In the aggregate, the eCommerce businesses increased revenue 25% to $247 million for the quarter. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 10% to $9 million for the quarter and operating income decreased $2 million to a $2 million loss. Revenue for the eCommerce businesses is seasonal due to certain holidays, which drive a significant portion of the eCommerce businesses' revenue. Third quarter revenue is generally lower, as compared to the other three quarters, due to fewer holidays. Each of the eCommerce businesses reported an increase in revenue for the quarter as a result of acquisitions,





increased marketing efforts and increased conversion resulting from site optimization and broader inventory offerings. The decrease in adjusted OIBDA was primarily due to the result of further investment in marketing, personnel and technology for each of the consolidated businesses.

Share Repurchases
From August 1st, 2011 through October 31st, 2011, Liberty Interactive repurchased approximately 11.7 million Series A shares at an average cost per share of $14.80 for total cash consideration of $172.9 million. Since the creation of the Liberty Interactive stock in May 2006, Liberty Interactive has repurchased approximately 124.3 million shares at an average cost per share of $19.57 for aggregate cash consideration of $2.4 billion. These repurchases represent approximately 17.7% of the shares outstanding at the time of creation of the Liberty Interactive stock. Currently, Liberty Interactive has approximately $567.2 million remaining under its stock repurchase authorization.

Liberty Interactive holds controlling interests in companies that are engaged in, video and on-line commerce, including QVC, Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, Celebrate Interactive, CommerceHub, and Right Start, and also owns interests in HSN, Tree.com, Interval Leisure Group, Expedia and Lockerz.

NOTES
Unless otherwise noted, the foregoing discussion compares financial information for the three months ended September 30th, 2011 to the same period in 2010.

On September 23rd, 2011, Liberty Interactive completed the split-off of a wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC") (formerly known as Liberty CapStarz, Inc. and prior thereto known as Liberty Splitco, Inc.) (the "Split-Off"). At the time of the Split-Off, LMC owned all the assets, businesses and liabilities previously attributed to the Liberty Capital and Liberty Starz tracking stock groups. The Split-Off was effected by means of a redemption of all of the Liberty Capital common stock and Liberty Starz common stock of Liberty Interactive for all of the common stock of LMC. This transaction has been accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution.

Following the Split-Off, Liberty Interactive and LMC operate as separate, publicly traded companies, and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. In connection with the Split-Off, Liberty Interactive and LMC entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a Reorganization Agreement, a Services Agreement, a Facilities Sharing Agreement and a Tax Sharing Agreement. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current presentation.

The following financial information is intended to supplement Liberty Interactive's consolidated statements of operations which are included in its Form 10-Q.

Cash and liquid investments decreased $375 million, primarily due to debt payments, stock repurchases and capital expenditures. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash flow from operations at QVC. Total debt decreased by $266 million, due to $160 million of debt repayments on the QVC bank credit facility, $118 million of debt repurchases of the 3.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2031, and $15 million of debt repurchases on the 5.7% senior notes due 2013. These repayments and repurchases were partially offset by a new capital lease for QVC Germany.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Liberty Interactive, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), and the eCommerce businesses together with a reconciliation to that entity's or group's operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Interactive defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock and other equity-based compensation) and excludes from that definition depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment charges and gains on legal settlements that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Further, this press release includes adjusted OIBDA margin which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Liberty Interactive defines adjusted OIBDA margin as adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.

Liberty Interactive believes adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business' 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. Because adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty Interactive views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty Interactive's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.






SCHEDULE 1

The following table provides a reconciliation of Liberty Interactive's adjusted OIBDA to its operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended September 30th, 2010, December 31st, 2010, March 31st, 2011, June 30th, 2011 and September 30th, 2011, respectively.
