LIBERTY INTERACTIVE GROUP — Liberty Interactive group’s revenue increased 14% to $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter and 3% to $8.3 billion for the year.  Adjusted OIBDA increased 29% to $556 million in the fourth quarter and 6% to $1.7 billion for the year, while operating income increased 76% and 15%, respectively.  The increase in revenue and adjusted OIBDA for the fourth quarter and the year was primarily due to favorable results at QVC and the eCommerce companies.

 

QVC

 

QVC’s consolidated revenue increased 14% in the fourth quarter to $2.4 billion and 1% to $7.4 billion for the year.  Adjusted OIBDA increased 27% to $530 million in the fourth quarter and 4% to $1.6 billion for the year, while operating income increased 40% and 7%, respectively.

 

“QVC’s fourth quarter results are outstanding,” stated Mike George, QVC President and CEO.  “We grew revenue and profitability at one of the highest rates in the last decade and are showing improving trends in all markets.  The fourth quarter was the first quarter since Q1 of 2008 when every country posted positive revenue growth in local currency.  We are also encouraged that our results show a balanced performance, with strong gains in top and bottom line results indicative that growth is due to both compelling, exclusive content as well as aggressive cost management.  In the fourth quarter we debuted our Isaac Mizrahi lifestyle brand along with several other leading brands and designers, and experienced the most successful Black Friday event in QVC history.  QVC’s global market position will be further strengthened in 2010 with the launch of QVC Italy and the implementation of our technology makeover including our global eCommerce platform, customer relationship and call center management platform and our multi-media infrastructure.”

 

With respect to QVC’s domestic business, revenue increased 13% in the fourth quarter to $1.7 billion and 2% for the year to $5.0 billion.  Adjusted OIBDA increased 32% to $371 million in the fourth quarter and 4% for the year to $1.1 billion.  For the quarter and the year, the mix of products shifted from the jewelry and apparel product areas to home and, to a lesser extent, the accessories product areas.  The average selling price for the fourth quarter increased 4% from $48.33 to $50.37 with the total number of units sold increasing 6% to 35.2 million from 33.2 million.  For the year, the average selling price increased 2% from $47.94 to $49.01 and the total number of units sold declined 3% to 108.7 million from 112.5 million.  Returns as a percent of domestic sales decreased to 16% from 18% for the fourth quarter and to 18% from 19% for the year due to the sales mix moving from jewelry and apparel to home products, which typically have a lower return rate.  QVC.com sales as a percentage of domestic sales increased from 28% to 31% for the quarter and

from 25% to 29% for the year.  The domestic adjusted OIBDA margin(2) increased 306 basis points to 22% for the quarter and remained relatively consistent at 22% for the year.  The increase for the quarter was primarily due to a higher gross margin percentage resulting from more efficient warehouse operations and freight savings as well as favorable customer service expenses and the leverage of fixed costs.

 

QVC’s international revenue increased 15% in the fourth quarter to $751 million from $655 million including the impact of favorable exchange rates in the UK, Germany and Japan.  For the year, international revenue remained flat at $2.4 billion despite the unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates in the UK and Germany and including favorable exchange rates in Japan.  Excluding the effect of exchange rates, international revenue increased 6% in the UK, 8% in Germany and 4% in Japan in the fourth quarter and increased 2% in the UK, 3% in Germany and 1% in Japan for the year.  International adjusted OIBDA increased 19% to $159 million in the fourth quarter and 4% to $451 million for the year.  International adjusted OIBDA margins increased 70 basis points for the quarter and 80 basis points for the year due primarily to favorable gross margins.  The fourth quarter gross margin increased due primarily to favorable warehouse operations across each market and a reduction in realized inventory foreign exchange losses, particularly in the UK.  The gross margin increased for the year due primarily to lower warehouse costs and a favorable obsolescence provision across each market.  Excluding the impact of exchange rates, QVC’s international adjusted OIBDA increased 10% in the fourth quarter and 5% for the year.

 

QVC UK’s revenue grew 6% and 2% in local currency in the fourth quarter and for the year, respectively.  The UK’s average selling price in local currency increased 1% for the fourth quarter and 4% for the year and units sold increased 4% for the fourth quarter but declined 2% for the year.  QVC UK experienced a higher gross margin in the fourth quarter and the year due primarily to a favorable obsolescence provision, lower warehouse expenses and a reduction in realized inventory foreign exchange losses.

 

QVC Germany’s revenue grew 8% and 3% in local currency in the fourth quarter and for the year, respectively.  QVC Germany’s average selling price in local currency increased 3% for the fourth quarter and 4% for the year and units sold increased 5% for the fourth quarter but declined 1% for the year.  QVC Germany experienced a lower gross margin in an effort to move less productive inventory and an unfavorable obsolescence provision, partially offset by favorable warehouse costs.  For the year, Germany’s gross margin increased due to a favorable obsolescence provision and warehouse costs partially offset by a lower product margin.

 

QVC Japan’s revenue grew 4% and 1% in local currency in the fourth quarter and for the year, respectively.  QVC Japan achieved growth of 17% in units sold for the quarter and 9% for the year with the average selling price in local currency declining 12% and 7% for the fourth quarter and year, respectively.  For the fourth

quarter, Japan experienced sales growth in accessories, apparel and health and beauty categories and declines in sales of jewelry and home products.  For the year, Japan experienced sales growth in the accessories, apparel and jewelry categories and declines in sales of home, health and beauty products.

 

QVC intends to launch its television programming in Italy in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Included in the international adjusted OIBDA results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2009 are $2 million and $5 million, respectively, of costs related to the expected launch of the QVC Italy service.

 

QVC’s outstanding bank and bond debt was $4.0 billion at December 31, 2009.

 

eCommerce Businesses

 

In the aggregate, the eCommerce businesses revenue increased 17% to $281 million in the fourth quarter and 20% to $931 million for the year.  Adjusted OIBDA grew 63% to $31 million for the fourth quarter and 45% to $103 million for the year, while operating income increased to $16 million and $49 million, respectively    Included in the overall increase in revenue and adjusted OIBDA for 2009 is $62 million and $16 million, respectively, related to small acquisitions by our eCommerce companies in 2008.  Exclusive of the impact of acquisitions, eCommerce revenue and adjusted OIBDA increased organically 13% and 21%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Included in organic revenue and adjusted OIBDA growth is an increase of $15 million related to commission revenue earned when customers sign up for third-party on-line discount services.

LIBERTY STARZ GROUP — Liberty Starz group’s revenue increased 6% to $304 million in the fourth quarter and 7% to $1.2 billion for the year.  Adjusted OIBDA decreased 2% to $74 million for the quarter and increased 29% to $374 million for the year.  Operating income increased to $49 million in the fourth quarter from an operating loss of $1.2 billion.  For the year, operating income increased to $272 million from an operating loss of $1 billion for 2008.  The increase in revenue for both periods was due to growth at Starz Entertainment.  The decrease in adjusted OIBDA for the quarter was primarily due to increases in marketing and production costs at Starz Entertainment.  The operating loss in 2008 is largely due to a $1.2 billion impairment charge recorded by Starz Entertainment.

 

Starz Entertainment, LLC

 

Starz Entertainment’s revenue increased 5% in the fourth quarter to $300 million and 7% for the year to $1.2 billion.  The $82 million increase in 2009 revenue was due to a $31 million increase in rates, a $30 million increase resulting from growth in the average number of subscription units and a $21 million increase due to new products and services.  Adjusted OIBDA decreased 4% during the quarter to $78 million and increased 28% for the year to $384 million.  Operating income increased to $65 million in the fourth quarter from an operating loss of $1.1 billion.  For the year, operating income increased to $330 million from an operating loss of $1 billion. The operating loss in 2008 was largely due to the $1.2 billion impairment charge discussed above.  Starz experienced average subscription unit increases of 3%, and Encore’s average subscriptions were essentially flat in 2009.

 

Starz, LLC President and CEO Chris Albrecht said “With solid improvement in both revenue and adjusted OIBDA, Starz Entertainment posted strong results in 2009.  A decline in fourth quarter adjusted OIBDA was largely due to the marketing campaigns and production cost amortization associated with our two big dramatic series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand which premiered in January to the largest audiences ever for a Starz original, and Crash.”

 

Starz Entertainment’s operating expenses were relatively flat for the year.  Programming expenses are Starz Entertainment’s primary operating expense and comprised approximately 91% of the total for 2009.  Programming costs decreased from $629 million in 2008 to $615 million in 2009 due to a decrease in the percentage of first-run movie and original programming exhibitions and a lower effective rate for first-run movies, partially offset by an increase in amortization of production costs for original series.  The 2009

decrease in operating expense from programming expenses were offset by increases in the amortization and write-off of production costs related to the home video and international distribution of original programming and other operating expenses.

 

Share Repurchases

 

Since the introduction of Liberty Starz on November 19, 2009 through January 29, 2010, Liberty repurchased 643,000 shares of Series A Liberty Starz common stock at an average cost per share of $48.52 for total cash consideration of $31 million.  These repurchases represent 1.2% of the shares outstanding and Liberty has approximately $469 million remaining under its Liberty Starz stock repurchase authorization.

 

The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Starz group are primarily engaged in, or are ownership interests in companies that are focused on video programming businesses and currently include Liberty’s subsidiaries Starz Entertainment and Liberty Sports Interactive.  Liberty has identified Starz Entertainment as the principal operating segment of Liberty Starz group.  For purposes of presentation, we treat the assets and businesses attributed to the Liberty Starz group as though they had been attributed to the group since January 1, 2009.

LIBERTY CAPITAL GROUP - Liberty Capital group’s revenue increased 18% to $154 million in the fourth quarter and 6% to $649 million for the year.  The adjusted OIBDA deficit decreased 29% to $76 million in the fourth quarter and 41% to $175 million for the year, while operating income increased 72% and 60%, respectively.  The increase in revenue for both periods was primarily due to revenue growth at Starz Media related to increases in theatrical, home video and television revenue from movies released by Overture Films.  The decrease in the adjusted OIBDA deficit for the year was primarily due the timing of revenue and expenses associated with films released by Overture Films and Starz animation.

 

Starz, LLC President and CEO Chris Albrecht said “Starz Media results improved in 2009 versus the prior year.   However, we recognize that Overture Films continues to face significant challenges and we are currently evaluating strategic alternatives for Overture.  While no final decisions have been made, we do not expect it to incur annual operating losses in the future of the same magnitude that it has experienced in recent years.”

Total attributed Liberty Capital group cash increased $234 million compared to September 30, 2009 primarily due to cash received upon the expiration of a certain equity derivative, the repayment of a portion of the intergroup loan to Liberty Interactive and borrowings at Starz Media, partially offset by the retirement of derivative borrowings.   Total attributed Liberty Capital group debt decreased $266 million due to the retirement of derivative borrowings mentioned above, partially offset by borrowings at Starz Media.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for each of Liberty’s tracking stock groups and each of QVC, Starz Entertainment and Starz Media together with a reconciliation to that group’s or 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 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 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.
