o Excludes results from USA Broadcasting, the sale of which to Univision was announced in December, 2000. o Presented as if the acquisitions of Precision Response and Styleclick and the consolidation of HOT Germany had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. o EBITDA is defined as net income plus, (1) provision for income taxes, (2) minority interest, (3) interest income and expense, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) amortization of cable distribution fees ($11.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively), and (6) amortization of non-cash distribution and marketing expense. (a) USA Network revenue decreased by 1% due to the weak advertising market. (b) SCI FI EBITDA increased by only 1% primarily due to marketing expenses in connection with the mini-series event DUNE. (c) Ticketing growth was limited due to strong comparable results from millennium-related events in 1999 and costs related to TicketWeb and 2b Technology in 2000. (d) HSN's EBITDA growth was impacted by higher spending to enhance the customer experience in Q4, and by $4 million in non-recurring credits taken in Q4 99. (e) Represents one-time expenses related to the merger between Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch. (f) In order to present comparable results for Germany, the results have been translated from Deutschemarks to U.S. dollars at the 1999 exchange rate. BUSINESS MIX 64% of the company's Q4 revenue came from direct consumer transactions, 21% was derived from production and affiliate fees, and 15% was advertising-related. On a comparative pro forma basis for its three organizational units, USAi reported the following for its operating business: ACTUAL PRO FORMA Q4 00 Q4 99 GROWTH MIX ----- ----- ------ --- ($ IN MILLIONS) REVENUES - OPERATING BUSINESSES Entertainment ............... $ 424.8 $ 349.7 21% 34% Electronic retailing ........ 524.2 448.2 17% 42% Information and Services .... 294.8 234.1 26% 24% ---------- ---------- -- --- TOTAL ................... $ 1,243.8 $ 1,032.0 21% 100% ========== ========== == === EBITDA - OPERATING BUSINESSES Entertainment ............... $ 151.1 $ 125.9 20% 55% Electronic retailing ........ 82.1 81.3 1% 30% Information and Services .... 51.5 43.9 17% 19% Corporate and other .........

(0.08) (0.03) (0.01) *Excluding non-recurring merger and other costs ($4 million, pre-tax) and one-time non-operating losses ($34.8 million, pre-tax). Due to regulatory restrictions, Universal and Liberty own a significant portion of their interests in USAi through USAi subsidiaries. This structure causes USAi to record net losses in situations where net income would otherwise have been recorded if their ownership were entirely in USAi common stock. Fully converted earnings and fully converted cash net income reflect the impact as if all shares exchangeable into common stock had been exchanged during the period. Fully converted cash net income per share, fully converted earnings per share, and basic loss per share were impacted by higher losses in unconsolidated investments, higher depreciation charges, and higher non-cash marketing expenses. Fully converted earnings per share and basic loss per share were also impacted by higher amortization of goodwill in connection with various acquisitions.

USAi's net debt, including that of its public subsidiaries, offset by an advance receivable to Universal, was approximately $160 million as of December 31, 2000. Net debt is expected to be reduced further using net cash proceeds from the sale of USA Broadcasting to Univision. STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS The actual quarterly results are not comparable due to: 1) TMCS's acquisition of Sidewalk.com, Match.Com, One and Only Network, 2b Technology, and TicketWeb; 2) the consolidation of Home Order Television as of January 1, 2000; 3) the acquisition of Precision Response in April, 2000; and 4) the acquisition of Styleclick.com in August 2000.

FOOTNOTES a The Company's overall 2001 guidance is unchanged from its filing on October 26, 2000, except to remove guidance for USA Broadcasting, the sale of which was announced in December, 2000. Growth rates for total revenue and total EBITDA also account for non-recurring charges and German Deutschemark currency fluctuations recognized during 2000. b A weak advertising market is anticipated to continue for the first half of 2001, and is expected to have a greater impact on USA Network revenue than on SCI FI revenue. c HSN's EBITDA growth in Q1 '01 will be tempered by a one-time $4.7 million income credit recognized as the result of a lawsuit settlement in Q1 '00. d Ticketmaster's growth in Q1 will be impacted by costs related to the acquired operations of TicketWeb and 2b Technology, which are expected to be EBITDA profitable by the second half of 2001. e Studios USA Q3 revenue and EBITDA growth will be favorably impacted by the syndication sale of Law & Order to TNT. f Includes investments, acquisitions, changes in working capital, and other items in 2000. g 2001 free cash flow excludes the anticipated proceeds from the sale of USA Broadcasting. IMPORTANT This guidance reflects estimates that USAi is comfortable releasing to analysts and the public, and contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include the information relating to possible or assumed future results of operations of USAi. This guidance reflects the current views of USAi with respect to future events. The following important factors, in addition to those described in USAi's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could affect the future results of USAi, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements: material adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by our businesses; future regulatory actions and conditions in our businesses' operating areas; competition from others; successful integration of our divisions, including recently acquired businesses; product demand and market acceptance; the ability to protect proprietary information and technology or to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms; and obtaining and retaining key executives and employees. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and USAi undertakes no obligation to update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.
