Item 2.02.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION/Item 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE


During the fourth quarter of 2014, Liberty Global plc (Liberty Global) began presenting (i) its operating segments in the U.K. and Ireland as one combined reportable segment, (ii) its operating segments in Switzerland and Austria as one combined reportable segment and (iii) its UPC DTH operating segment as part of its Central and Eastern Europe reportable segment. These changes were made as a result of internal changes in organizational structures, changes in how these segments are evaluated and monitored by the chief operating decision maker and the integration of certain functions within these reportable segments. Previously, Liberty Global's (a) operating segments in the U.K. and Switzerland were each separate reportable segments, (b) operating segments in Ireland and Austria were combined into one reportable segment, “Other Western Europe,” and (c) UPC DTH operating segment was included in the European Operations Division’s central and other category.
