Exhibit 99.1

Unaudited Attributed Financial Information for Tracking Stock Groups

As of September 30, 2014, our Liberty Interactive common stock is intended to reflect the separate performance of our Interactive Group which is comprised of our businesses engaged in video and digital commerce, including our subsidiaries, QVC, Inc., Provide Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Evite, Inc., CommerceHub and our interest in HSN, Inc. As of September 30, 2014, our Liberty Ventures common stock is intended to reflect the separate performance of our Ventures Group which consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group including our interests in equity method investments of Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. and available-for-sale securities Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014, revenue and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The tables further present our assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows that are attributed to the Interactive 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, 2014 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As discussed in note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, on October 3, 2014,  the Interactive Group attributed to the Ventures Group its Digital Commerce companies, which were valued at $1.5 billion, and approximately $1 billion in cash. In return, Interactive Group shareholders received a dividend of approximately 67.67 million shares of Liberty Ventures common stock, or 0.14217 of a Liberty Ventures share for each share of Interactive Group common stock outstanding on October 13, 2014, the record date of the dividend. The distribution date for the dividend was October 20, 2014, and the Liberty Interactive common stock began trading ex-dividend on October 15, 2014.

Following the reattribution, the name of the Interactive Group is now referred to as the QVC Group. Following the reattribution, the QVC Group has attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities. Other than the issuance of Liberty Ventures shares in the fourth quarter of 2014, the reattribution had no consolidated impact on Liberty. The reattribution will be reflected in the Liberty financial statements in the fourth quarter on a prospective basis.

Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to the Interactive 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. We and our subsidiaries are each responsible for our respective liabilities. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock are holders of our common stock and are subject to risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. The issuance of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock does not affect the rights of our creditors or creditors of our subsidiaries.

Notes to Attributed Financial Information

(unaudited)

(1)

At September 30, 2014, the Interactive Group is comprised of our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc.,  Provide  Commerce, Inc., Backcountry.com, Inc., Bodybuilding.com, LLC, Evite and CommerceHub and our interest in HSN, Inc.  Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Interactive Group includes the foregoing investments, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of those consolidated subsidiaries.  We have also attributed certain  of our debt obligations (and related interest expense) to the Interactive Group based upon a number of factors, including the cash flow available to the Interactive Group and its ability to pay debt service and our assessment of the optimal capitalization  for the Interactive Group.  The specific debt obligations attributed to each of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are described in note 4 below.  In addition, we have allocated certain corporate general and administrative expenses among the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group as described in note 5 below.

 

At September 30, 2014, the Interactive Group focuses on video and on-line commerce 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 Interactive Group.

 

At September 30, 2014, the Ventures Group consists of all of our businesses not included in the Interactive Group including our interests in equity method investments of Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. and available-for-sale securities Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc.  Accordingly, the accompanying attributed financial information for the Ventures Group includes these investments. 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.

 

Any businesses that we may acquire in the future that we do not attribute to the Interactive Group will be attributed to the Ventures Group.

Cash compensation expense for our corporate employees will be allocated between the Interactive 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 Interactive Group to the Ventures Group were determined to be $6 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $12 million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 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.

(6)

The Liberty Interactive 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 Liberty Interactive 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 will be 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 an allocation of intergroup income taxes payable from the Interactive Group to the Ventures Group.
