LIBERTY INTERACTIVE GROUP - Liberty Interactive Group's revenue increased 1% to $2.4 billion in the first quarter, adjusted OIBDA declined 1% to $431 million and operating income decreased 6% to $244 million. The increase in revenue was due to favorable results at QVC. The decline in adjusted OIBDA was primarily due to unfavorable results at the eCommerce companies.

QVC
QVC's consolidated revenue increased 1% in the first quarter to $2.0 billion. During the same period, adjusted OIBDA increased 2% to $412 million and operating income remained flat at $260 million.

“We achieved solid first quarter results, with the U.S. market expanding profitability in the midst of a difficult retail environment,” said Mike George, President and CEO of QVC. “We attribute part of this to QVC’s high-quality, differentiated product offering and our ability to know what customers want, when they want it. We look forward to bringing this expertise, as well as our engaging multi platform shopping experience, to the French market."

QVC's US revenue increased 1% to $1.3 billion in the first quarter primarily as a result of strength in all categories except electronics. Average selling price per unit (“ASP”) increased 1% from $60.51 to $60.89 and units sold increased 1% compared to the prior year first quarter. Returns as a percent of gross product revenue increased by 106 basis points due to higher rates in electronics, home and accessories. In the same period, eCommerce revenue increased 8% to $590 million and grew to 45% from 42% as a percentage of total US revenue. Adjusted OIBDA increased 3% to $301 million and adjusted OIBDA margin(2) increased 63 basis points in the first quarter. Adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily due to higher product margins.

QVC's international revenue in US Dollars increased 1% in the first quarter to $681 million. The first quarter results included the negative impact of the strengthening of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen, which was somewhat offset by the weakening of the US Dollar against the Euro and the UK Pound Sterling. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 2% to $111 million and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 39 basis points in the first quarter.

QVC Japan's revenue grew 2% in local currency in the first quarter due primarily to growth in the jewelry, home and beauty categories, partially offset by declines in accessories. QVC Japan’s ASP in local currency increased 1% and units sold increased 1% in the first quarter. QVC Japan’s first quarter returns as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency improved by 57 basis points due primarily to lower return rates in jewelry, beauty and accessories. QVC Japan’s adjusted OIBDA in local currency decreased 2% and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 100 basis points in the first quarter. The decrease in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily applicable to higher programming distribution expenses and lower product margins.

QVC Germany's revenue decreased 4% in local currency in the first quarter due to sales declines in all categories. QVC Germany's ASP in local currency decreased 3% and units sold decreased 3% in the first quarter. QVC Germany's

first quarter return rate as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency improved by 208 basis points from the prior year due primarily to changes in prior period estimates based on actual experience, and to a lesser extent, lower rates in all categories except electronics. QVC Germany’s adjusted OIBDA in local currency decreased 12% and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 160 basis points for the first quarter. Adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily due to lower product margins and higher temporary operational services expenses associated with the implementation of a new customer relations management system, offset by a decrease in fixed costs as a result of a prior year personnel tax accrual.

QVC UK's revenue grew 10% in local currency in the first quarter primarily due to sales in the home, beauty and accessories categories. QVC UK's ASP in local currency increased 12% and units sold decreased 3% in the first quarter. QVC UK's first quarter return rate as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency improved by 165 basis points from the prior year due primarily to changes in prior period estimates based on actual experience and lower rates in electronics and beauty. QVC UK’s adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 32% and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 279 basis points in the first quarter. The increase in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to higher product margins and warehouse efficiencies.

QVC Italy's revenue increased 2% in local currency in the first quarter primarily due to sales in the beauty and accessories categories, partially offset by declines in home. QVC Italy's ASP in local currency increased 3% and units sold remained flat in the first quarter. QVC Italy's first quarter return rate as a percent of gross product revenue in local currency increased by 30 basis points from the prior year. QVC Italy’s adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency improved by 21% and adjusted OIBDA margin improved by 343 basis points in the first quarter. The increase in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to lower freight costs associated with the new third-party logistics center and lower rent as a result of the purchase of its existing headquarters in the first quarter.

CNRS, QVC’s joint venture in China, experienced a revenue increase of 27% in local currency in the first quarter. In the same period, CNRS’ adjusted OIBDA deficit was flat primarily due to higher programming distribution and fixed costs. This joint venture is being accounted for as an equity method investment, and as a result, QVC reported a $1 million reduction in net income for the first quarter.

QVC's outstanding bank and bond debt was $3.9 billion at March 31, 2014, an increase of $0.2 billion since December 31, 2013. On March 18, 2014, QVC issued $400 million principal amount of 3.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 at 99.828% and $600 million principal amount of 4.850% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 at 99.927%. The net proceeds from the offerings were used to repay indebtedness under QVC’s senior secured credit facility and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

eCommerce Businesses

3



In the aggregate, Liberty Interactive Group's eCommerce businesses' revenue was flat at $461 million for the first quarter. Winter storm Pax, which occurred around Valentine's Day, negatively affected operations at Provide Commerce's businesses, including causing delivery issues. This contributed to the revenue weakness in the quarter. Additionally, Backcountry.com and Bodybuilding.com experienced low first quarter demand for their products. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 41% to $23 million. The decrease in adjusted OIBDA was due to increased technology and personnel costs at the subsidiaries to support anticipated revenue growth which did not materialize in the first quarter, slightly lower product margins during the period, somewhat due to increased packaging costs, and increased marketing spend in the first quarter that did not yield anticipated sales. Operating income decreased $20 million to a loss of $1 million. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to the items discussed above as well as higher stock-based compensation during the quarter and slightly higher amortization and depreciation.

On October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to recapitalize its Liberty Interactive Group tracking stock into two new tracking stocks, one (currently the Liberty Interactive common stock) to be renamed the QVC Group common stock and the other to be designated as the Liberty Digital Commerce common stock. The Liberty Digital Commerce Group would have attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, CommerceHub, Right Start, and Evite, which is currently a part of Liberty's subsidiary Celebrate Interactive, along with cash and certain liabilities. The QVC Group, which is currently known as the Liberty Interactive Group, would have attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities. Management continues to review the proposed recapitalization and no assurance can be given as to when or if it will be completed.

Share Repurchases
From February 1, 2014 through April 30, 2014, Liberty repurchased approximately 7.9 million Series A Liberty Interactive shares (Nasdaq: LINTA) at an average cost per share of $28.54 for total cash consideration of $224.1 million.  Since the creation of the Liberty Interactive stock in May 2006, Liberty has repurchased approximately 237.9 million shares at an average cost per share of $20.29 for aggregate cash consideration of $4.8 billion.  These repurchases represent approximately 33.9% of the shares outstanding at the time of creation of the Liberty Interactive stock.  All repurchases up to August 9, 2012, the date on which the Liberty Interactive stock was recapitalized to create the Liberty Ventures stock, were comprised of shares of the combined stocks.  The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Interactive Group stock is approximately $873 million.

Liberty Interactive Group holds controlling interests in companies that are engaged in digital commerce, including QVC, Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, Celebrate Interactive, CommerceHub, and also owns an interest in HSN.

LIBERTY VENTURES GROUP - As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of the public equity method securities and other public holdings attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group was $2.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. When compared to December 31, 2013, the fair value of Liberty Ventures Group's public equity method securities decreased 1%. The Liberty Ventures Group's other public holdings balance decreased 3% primarily due to changes in market prices of certain securities during the third quarter.

On October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board had also authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of a newly formed company to be called Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings (“Trip Holdings”). Trip Holdings would be comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s 22% economic and 57% voting interest in TripAdvisor, as well as the retail business BuySeasons which is currently a part of Celebrate Interactive, and an anticipated initial corporate level net debt balance of $350 million. On May 6, 2014, Trip Holdings filed a registration statement with the SEC for this spin-off. For TripAdvisor's stand-alone operating results as reported by TripAdvisor, see TripAdvisor's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

On February 27, 2014, Liberty's board approved a two-for-one stock split of Series A and Series B Liberty
Ventures common stock, effected by means of a dividend. The stock split was done in order to bring Liberty into
compliance with a Nasdaq listing requirement regarding the minimum number of publicly held shares of the Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. In the stock split, a dividend was paid on April 11, 2014 of one share of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock to holders of each share of Series A or Series B Liberty Ventures common stock, respectively, held by them as of 5:00 p.m., E.D.T time, on April 4, 2014. Due to the Liberty Ventures common stock split being completed prior to the issuance of our first quarter financial statements the stock split was recorded retroactively for all periods presented.

Share Repurchases
There were no repurchases of Liberty Ventures Group common stock (Nasdaq: LVNTA) from February 1, 2014 through April 30, 2014. The Liberty Ventures Group does not have an outstanding stock repurchase authorization at this time.

The businesses and assets attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group are all of Liberty's businesses and assets other than those attributed to the Liberty Interactive Group and include its subsidiary TripAdvisor, its interest in Expedia, and minority interests in Time Warner and Time Warner Cable. TripAdvisor is a separate publicly-traded company and additional information about TripAdvisor can be obtained through its website and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Liberty Interactive Group increased by approximately $84 million during the first quarter. Cash flows from operations and borrowing of debt in excess of repayments were partially offset by capital expenditures and stock repurchases. Total debt attributed to the Liberty Interactive Group increased by $206 million, primarily due to the issuance of new senior notes at QVC during the quarter, partially offset by payments made on the QVC bank credit facility.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group increased $288 million, primarily due to cash flow from operations, partially offset by capital expenditures. Included in the first quarter total cash and liquid

investments attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group is $745 million held at TripAdvisor, which is comprised of $319 million of cash, $142 million of short-term marketable securities and $284 million of long-term marketable securities. Although TripAdvisor is a consolidated subsidiary, it is a separate public company with a significant noncontrolling interest, therefore Liberty does not have ready access to TripAdvisor's cash and liquid investments. Total debt outstanding attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group decreased by $13 million in the first quarter, primarily due to repayments made on senior exchangeable debentures and the TripAdvisor debt facilities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Liberty, 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 defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding all stock 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 defines adjusted OIBDA margin as adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.

Liberty 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 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's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.
