“QVC posted strong results in the US and UK for the fourth quarter driven by a return on strategic investments in TV and digital efforts and solid operational execution. Additionally, QVC experienced rapid growth in their China joint venture . . .,” stated Greg Maffei, Liberty President and CEO.

QVC
QVC's consolidated revenue increased 2% in the fourth quarter to $2.7 billion and increased 1% to $8.6 billion for the full year.
. . .
. . . On a constant currency basis, consolidated revenue increased 4% in both the fourth quarter and for the full year. Further, adjusted OIBDA was also impacted by a $20 million net favorable legal settlement in the U.S. that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the legal settlement, adjusted OIBDA increased 4% in both the fourth quarter and for the full year 2013.
"We generated over $3.2 billion in eCommerce revenues in 2013, including $1.2 billion in mobile orders, making QVC one of the world’s largest and most profitable eCommerce and mobile commerce retailers,” said Mike George, QVC President and CEO. “We credit this success to the trust-based relationships we've built and continue to cultivate with our existing customers, in addition to the 3.8 million new customers who joined our global shopping communities last year.”
. . .
eCommerce Businesses
In the aggregate, Liberty Interactive Group's eCommerce businesses increased revenue 8% to $487 million for the quarter and 12% to $1.7 billion for the year. The increased revenue was the result of increased marketing efforts driving additional traffic, investments in site improvements, increased shipping charges and broader inventory offerings. Additionally, the increased revenue was partially driven by product discounting to move seasonal inventory. . . . Operating income improved by $18 million to a loss of $21 million for the quarter and improved by 38% to a loss of $50 million for the year. The improvement in the operating loss for the quarter and the year was primarily due to lower impairment charges offset somewhat by the lower adjusted OIBDA and higher stock compensation expense.
