(4)   Disposals

On March 9, 2018, Qurate Retail completed the GCI Liberty Split-Off. At the time of the GCI Liberty Split-Off, GCI Liberty was comprised of, among other things, GCI Liberty’s legacy business, Qurate Retail’s former interest in Liberty Broadband, Charter and LendingTree, and Qurate Retail’s former wholly-owned subsidiary Evite. Qurate Retail viewed Liberty Broadband, LendingTree and Evite as separate components and evaluated them separately for discontinued operations presentation. As Qurate Retail’s former interest in Charter was accounted for as an available for sale investment it did not meet the definition of a component for discontinued operation presentation. The disposition of Liberty Broadband was considered significant to the overall financials and therefore was considered to be a strategic shift.  Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Qurate Retail have been prepared to reflect Qurate Retail’s interest in Liberty Broadband as a discontinued operation. The disposition of LendingTree and Evite as part of the GCI Liberty Split-Off does not have a major effect on Qurate Retail’s historical or future results. Therefore, the disposition of LendingTree and Evite was not considered a strategic shift in Qurate Retail’s operations. Accordingly, LendingTree and Evite are not presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Qurate Retail. LendingTree and Evite are included in the Corporate and other segment through March 8, 2018. 

Included in revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations is $3 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to Evite. Included in net earnings (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are losses of $2 million for both of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to Evite.  Included in total assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 is $43 million related to Evite.  Included in net earnings (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are earnings of less than a million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to LendingTree.
