The tables further present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that are attributed to the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, respectively. The financial information in this Exhibit should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As discussed in note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Liberty sold Backcountry.com, Inc. (“Backcountry”) on June 30, 2015. Backcountry is not presented as a discontinued operation as the sale did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on Liberty’s operations and financial results.
As discussed in note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on October 1, 2015, Liberty acquired all of the outstanding shares of zulily, inc. (“zulily”) (now known as zulily, llc). zulily is an online retailer offering customers a fun and entertaining shopping experience with a fresh selection of new product styles launched each day. zulily is attributed to the QVC Group.
As discussed in note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on July 22, 2016, Liberty completed the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of its former wholly-owned subsidiary, CommerceHub. CommerceHub is not presented as a discontinued operation as the Spin-Off did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on Liberty’s operations and financial results.
The QVC Group common stock is intended to reflect the separate performance of our QVC Group which is comprised of our consolidated subsidiaries, QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) and zulily, and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc. The Liberty Ventures common stock is intended to reflect the separate performance of our Ventures Group which is comprised primarily of our interests in Bodybuilding.com, LLC (“Bodybuilding”), CommerceHub (through July 22, 2016), Evite, Inc. (“Evite”) and Backcountry (through June 30, 2015), interests in Expedia, Inc., FTD Companies, Inc. (“FTD”), LendingTree, Inc. and Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) and available-for-sale securities Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc.
As discussed in note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on November 4, 2016, Liberty completed the split-off (the “Split-Off”) of Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. (“Expedia Holdings”). Expedia Holdings is comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s interest in Expedia, Inc. (approximately 16% equity interest and approximately 52% voting interest as of September 30, 2016), Liberty’s wholly-owned subsidiary Bodybuilding and $350 million in indebtedness.
Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the QVC Group and the Ventures Group, our tracking stock structure does not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to our assets or responsibility for our liabilities.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information
(unaudited)
(1) |
At September 30, 2016, the QVC Group is comprised of our consolidated subsidiaries, QVC and zulily, and our approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the QVC Group includes the foregoing investment, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of QVC and zulily. We have also attributed certain of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the QVC Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the QVC Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization for the QVC Group. The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the QVC Group and the Ventures Group are described in note 4 below. In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the QVC Group and the Ventures Group as described in note 5 below. |
At September 30, 2016, the QVC Group is primarily comprised of our merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, Internet and mobile application businesses. Accordingly, we expect that businesses that we may acquire in the future that we believe are complementary to this strategy will also be attributed to the QVC Group.
At September 30, 2016, the Ventures Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the QVC Group, including Bodybuilding and Evite, interests in Expedia, Inc., FTD, LendingTree, Inc. and Liberty Broadband and available-for-sale securities Charter Communications, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”). Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Ventures Group includes these investments as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of Bodybuilding and Evite. In addition, we have attributed to the Ventures Group all of our senior exchangeable debentures (and related interest expense). See note 4 below for the debt obligations attributed to the Ventures Group.
As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on May 18, 2016, Liberty completed a $2.4 billion investment in Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) in connection with the merger of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC"). The proceeds of this investment were used by Liberty Broadband to fund, in part, its acquisition of $5 billion of stock in the new public parent company (“New Charter”) of the combined enterprises. Liberty, along with third party investors, all of whom invested on the same terms as Liberty, purchased newly issued shares of Liberty Broadband Series C common stock at a per share price of $56.23, which was determined based upon the fair value of Liberty Broadband's net assets on a sum-of-the parts basis at the time the investment agreements were executed. Liberty's investment in Liberty Broadband was funded using cash on hand and is attributed to the Ventures Group.
As previously discussed, on October 1, 2015, Liberty acquired all of the outstanding shares of zulily for consideration of approximately $2.3 billion, comprised of $9.375 of cash and 0.3098 newly issued shares of Series A QVC Group common stock for each zulily share, plus cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. Effective October 1, 2015, zulily is attributed to the QVC Group and we believe that its business is complementary to QVC’s.
As previously discussed, Liberty sold Backcountry on June 30, 2015 for aggregate consideration, including assumption of debt, amounts held in escrow, and a noncontrolling interest, of approximately $350 million. The sale resulted in a $105 million gain, which is included in “Gains (losses) on dispositions, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the QVC Group will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

As discussed in note 1, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, Liberty exchanged, in a tax-free transaction, its shares of TWC common stock for shares of New Charter Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, and Liberty has granted to Liberty Broadband a proxy and a right of first refusal with respect to the shares of New Charter Class A common stock held by Liberty in the exchange. |
(2) |
On May 12, 2016, Interval Leisure Group (“Interval”) completed an acquisition which was accomplished, in part, through the issuance of additional Interval shares. As a result of the share issuance, Liberty’s ownership interest in Interval was reduced from 28.7% to 12.8%. Prior to the transaction, Interval was accounted for as an equity method investment. As a result of the transaction, Liberty does not have ability to exercise significant influence. Accordingly, Interval is classified as available-for-sale and is carried at fair value. |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Liberty sold approximately 4 million shares of Time Warner common stock for proceeds of $341 million. |

Notes to Attributed Financial Information
(unaudited)
Investment in Liberty Broadband
As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, in connection with the merger of Charter and TWC, on May 18, 2016, Liberty invested $2.4 billion in Liberty Broadband Series C nonvoting shares. As of September 30, 2016, Liberty has a 24% economic ownership interest in Liberty Broadband.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information
(unaudited)

Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees is allocated between the QVC Group and the Ventures Group based on the estimated percentage of time spent providing services for each group. On a semi-annual basis, estimated time spent will be determined through an interview process and a review of personnel duties unless transactions significantly change the composition of companies and investments in either respective group, which would require a more timely reevaluation of estimated time spent. Other general and administrative expenses will be charged directly to the groups whenever possible and are otherwise allocated based on estimated usage or some other reasonably determined methodology. Amounts allocated from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group were determined to be $12 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $29 million and $13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We note that stock compensation related to each tracking stock group is determined based on actual options outstanding for each respective tracking stock group. |
While we believe that this allocation method is reasonable and fair to each group, we may elect to change the allocation methodology or percentages used to allocate general and administrative expenses in the future.

The QVC Group common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock have voting and conversion rights under our restated charter. Following is a summary of those rights. Holders of Series A common stock of each group are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Series B common stock of each group are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group, if issued, are entitled to 1/100th of a vote per share in certain limited cases and will otherwise not be entitled to vote. In general, holders of Series A and Series B common stock will vote as a single class. In certain limited circumstances, the board may elect to seek the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B QVC Group common stock or the approval of the holders of only Series A and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock. |
At the option of the holder, each share of Series B common stock is convertible into one share of Series A common stock of the same group. At the discretion of our board, the common stock related to one group may be converted into common stock of the same series that is related to the other group.
(7)The intergroup payable (receivable) is primarily attributable to intergroup income taxes payable from the QVC Group to the Ventures Group.
