LINT-Exhibit 99.1_5.8.12 Earnings Release

“QVC continues to produce impressive results despite a challenging macroeconomic environment and our eCommerce group's growth was very strong,” stated Greg Maffei, Liberty Interactive President and CEO. “We made progress in the creation of our new Liberty Ventures tracking stock and expect to have a shareholder vote in the third quarter. We increased the rate of our share repurchases and spent $325 million from February 1 to April 30.”

Liberty Interactive's revenue increased 7% to $2.3 billion in the first quarter, adjusted OIBDA increased 11% to $418 million and operating income increased 21% to $258 million. The increase in revenue was due to favorable results at QVC and the eCommerce companies. The increase in adjusted OIBDA and operating income for the quarter was due to favorable results at QVC and the eCommerce companies and a decrease in corporate overhead.

“QVC demonstrated significant growth in revenue and adjusted OIBDA in the first quarter,” said Mike George, QVC President and CEO. “Our customers are increasingly embracing QVC as a trusted shopping destination that offers engaging and interactive content, along with great value. Our early investment in mobile platforms is proving successful, and we are seeing rapid adoption as our customers around the world choose to engage with QVC on tablet and mobile devices.”

QVC's US revenue increased 4% to $1.2 billion in the first quarter. Gross product revenue in the same period increased 5% as a result of strength in cooking and dining and apparel products. US revenue, however, maintained a 4% increase overall due to an increase in first quarter returns as a percent of gross product revenue of 127 basis points primarily due to the shift in mix to apparel. Average selling price ("ASP") increased 4% from $54.83 to $57.01 and units sold increased 1% compared to the prior year first quarter. There was also a 9% increase in shipping and handling revenue as a result of price increases implemented in the fourth quarter of 2011. In the first quarter, eCommerce revenue increased 13% to $481 million and grew to 39% from 36% as a percentage of total US revenue. Adjusted OIBDA increased 4% to $270 million and adjusted OIBDA margin⁽²⁾ remained flat during the first quarter. The adjusted OIBDA margin was impacted by a $4 million charge associated with reducing the number of order entry personnel at the Chesapeake, VA call center due to an increase in electronic ordering from customers.

QVC's international revenue increased 8% in the first quarter to $692 million. The first quarter results included the positive impact of the weakening of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen that was offset by the negative impact of the strengthening of the US Dollar against the Euro and Pound Sterling. International adjusted OIBDA increased 17% to $120 million and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 132 basis points in the first quarter.

QVC Japan's revenue grew 19% in local currency in the first quarter primarily due to QVC being off-air for twelve days as a result of the earthquake and related events experienced last March and were driven by increased sales in home, apparel and accessories. QVC Japan's ASP in local currency decreased 3%, but units shipped increased 25% in the first quarter. QVC Japan's first quarter returns as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency increased by 112 basis points primarily due to the shift in mix to apparel. QVC Japan's adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 40% and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 335 basis points in the first quarter. The increase in adjusted OIBDA margin was due to the higher absorption of warehouse, call center and other fixed costs due to increased sales. Product margins also increased due primarily to a more favorable product mix.

QVC Germany's revenue declined 4% in local currency in the first quarter primarily due to decreased sales in health and fitness and apparel and accessories, somewhat offset by increases in sales of beauty products. QVC Germany's ASP in local currency increased 1%, but units shipped declined by 8% in the first quarter. QVC Germany's first quarter returns as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency improved by 207 basis points and was primarily due to a favorable mix impact and favorable return rates in most product categories. QVC Germany's adjusted OIBDA in local currency decreased 3%, but adjusted OIBDA margin increased 34 basis points in the first quarter. The increase in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to higher product margins that were somewhat offset by the lower absorption of fixed costs due to decreased sales.

QVC UK's revenue increased 4% in local currency in the first quarter primarily due to sales increases in beauty and apparel products. QVC UK's ASP in local currency increased 1% and units shipped increased 4% for the first quarter. QVC UK's first quarter returns as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency increased by 127 basis points primarily due to a product mix shift to apparel, accessories and shoes. QVC UK's adjusted OIBDA in local currency decreased 3% and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 93 basis points in the first quarter. The decrease in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to higher duplicate running costs associated with the transition to the UK's new headquarters.

In the aggregate, Liberty Interactive's eCommerce businesses increased revenue 18% to $382 million for the first quarter. Adjusted OIBDA increased 17% to $34 million for the quarter and operating income increased 88% to $15 million. All but one of our eCommerce businesses reported an increase in revenue for the quarter as a result of increased marketing efforts and increased conversion resulting from site optimization and broader inventory offerings.

From February 1, 2012 through April 30, 2012, Liberty Interactive repurchased approximately 17.2 million Series A Liberty Interactive shares at an average cost per share of $18.83 for total cash consideration of $324.5 million. Since the creation of the Liberty Interactive stock in May 2006, Liberty Interactive has repurchased approximately 157.6 million shares at an average cost per share of $19.13 for aggregate cash consideration of $3.0 billion. These repurchases represent approximately 22.5% of the shares outstanding at the time of creation of the Liberty Interactive stock. As of April 30, 2012, Liberty Interactive had approximately $686 million remaining under its stock repurchase authorization.

On September 23, 2011, Liberty Interactive completed the split-off of a wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC") (formerly known as Liberty CapStarz, Inc. and 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.

Total cash and liquid investments decreased $91 million, primarily due to stock repurchases, debt repayments in excess of borrowings and capital expenditures. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash flow from operations at QVC. Total debt decreased by $39 million, primarily due to repayments on the QVC bank credit facility. These repayments were partially offset by borrowings at various eCommerce businesses.

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 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 and restructuring and impairment charges 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.
