Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty Interactive Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, "Liberty" or the "Company" unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries in North America, Europe and Asia. | |
The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liberty considers (i) fair value measurement, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) assessments of other-than-temporary declines in fair value of its investments and (iv) estimates of retail-related adjustments and allowances to be its most significant estimates. | |
Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that Liberty uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC"), a separate publicly traded company, neither of which has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other, in order to govern relationships between the companies. These agreements include a Reorganization Agreement, Services Agreement, Facilities Sharing Agreement and Tax Sharing Agreement. | |
The Reorganization Agreement provides for, among other things, provisions governing the relationship between Liberty and LMC, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, LMC provides Liberty with certain general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Liberty reimburses LMC for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by LMC in providing these services and for Liberty's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Liberty. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreement, LMC shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Liberty. Under these various agreements, approximately $3 million and $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $6 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were reimbursable to LMC. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between Liberty, LMC and Starz (former parent of LMC) and other agreements related to tax matters. | |
On October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to recapitalize its Interactive Group tracking stock into two new tracking stocks, one (currently the Liberty Interactive common stock) to be renamed the QVC Group common stock and the other to be designated as the Liberty Digital Commerce common stock. The Digital Commerce Group would have had attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Inc. ("Provide"), Backcountry.com, Inc. ("Backcountry"), Bodybuilding.com, LLC ("Bodybuilding"), CommerceHub and Evite.com ("Evite"), along with cash and certain liabilities. The QVC Group, which is currently known as the Interactive Group, would have attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities. | |
On July 30, 2014, Liberty announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which FTD Companies, Inc. ("FTD") will acquire Provide. Under the terms of the $430 million transaction, Liberty will receive 10.2 million shares of FTD common stock representing approximately 35% of the combined company and $121 million in cash. FTD and Liberty expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2014. Liberty still plans to create the QVC Group tracking stock but in light of the pending Provide transaction, and other factors, management is reevaluating the optimal structure and best alignment of the Digital Commerce Group assets. As a result, the timing of the transition to the QVC Group has been delayed. | |
Additionally, on October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board has also authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off to holders of its Liberty Ventures common stock shares of a newly formed company called Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“Trip Holdings”). Trip Holdings would be comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s 22% economic and 57% voting interest in TripAdvisor, as well as BuySeasons, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and an anticipated initial corporate level net debt balance of $350 million. |

Tracking Stocks | ' |
Tracking Stocks | |
A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or "track" the economic performance of a particular business or "group," rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. Liberty has two tracking stocks—Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, which are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the Interactive Group and Ventures Group, respectively. While the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of tracking stocks have no direct claim to the group's stock or assets and are not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation. | |
The term "Ventures Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. The Ventures Group is primarily comprised of TripAdvisor, a consolidated subsidiary, and interests in Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Tree.com, Inc., investments in Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc., as well as cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,141 million (at June 30, 2014). The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our corporate indebtedness (see note 9) and certain deferred tax liabilities. The Ventures Group is primarily focused on the maximization of the value of these investments and investing in new business opportunities. | |
The term "Interactive Group" does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. The Interactive Group is primarily focused on video and e-commerce operating businesses and has attributed to it the remainder of Liberty's businesses and assets, including operating subsidiaries QVC, Inc. ("QVC"), Provide, Backcountry, Bodybuilding, BuySeasons, Evite and CommerceHub as well as interests in HSN, Inc., and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $692 million (at June 30, 2014), which includes subsidiary cash. The Interactive Group has attributed to it liabilities that reside with QVC and the other entities listed as well as certain liabilities related to our corporate indebtedness (see note 9) and certain deferred tax liabilities. | |
See Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for unaudited attributed financial information for Liberty's tracking stock groups. |

Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||
The Company has granted to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock grants and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, "Awards"). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock grants) based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award (such as stock appreciation rights that will be settled in cash) based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. | |||||||||||||

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Liberty granted, primarily to QVC employees, 1.8 million options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock. Such options had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.06 per share and vest semi-annually over the 4 year vesting period. | |||||||||||||
The Company has calculated the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified Awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified Awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty's stock and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options. | |||||||||||||

As of June 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty outstanding equity Awards was approximately $127 million, including compensation associated with the option exchange that occurred in December 2012. Such amount will be recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years. | |||||||||||||
TripAdvisor - Stock-based Compensation | |||||||||||||
TripAdvisor has outstanding options and restricted stock which are exercisable into their common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, TripAdvisor issued approximately 491 thousand of primarily service based stock options under their 2011 Incentive Plan with a weighted average exercise price per option of $96.45 and a weighted average estimated grant-date fair value per option of $47.25. Approximately 834 thousand equity awards were exercised during the period at a weighted average exercise price of $33.46. As of June 30, 2014, TripAdvisor has 8.9 million options outstanding of which 4.0 million are exercisable with weighted average exercise prices of $43.79 and $31.79, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of these outstanding and exercisable options was $578 million and $306 million, respectively. TripAdvisor stock-based compensation was approximately $17 million and $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was approximately $34 million and $30 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested TripAdvisor stock options was approximately $99 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years. | |||||||||||||
Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, TripAdvisor granted approximately 513 thousand service based RSUs under their 2011 Incentive Plan for which the fair value was measured based on the quoted price of TripAdvisor common stock at the date of grant. As of June 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to 1.3 million unvested TripAdvisor RSUs was approximately $57 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.2 years. | |||||||||||||

Certain of the Company's other subsidiaries have stock based compensation plans under which employees and non-employees are granted options or similar stock based awards. Awards made under these plans vest and become exercisable over various terms. The awards and compensation recorded, if any, under these plans is not significant to Liberty. |

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||
For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||||||||

Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities and Other Cost Investments | |||||||
All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, such as AFS securities, and certain other items at fair value and to recognize the changes in fair value of such instruments in the entity's statement of operations (the "fair value option"). In prior years, Liberty has historically entered into economic hedges for certain of its non-strategic AFS securities (although such instruments were not accounted for as fair value hedges by the Company). Changes in the fair value of these economic hedges were reflected in Liberty's statements of operations as unrealized gains (losses). In order to better match the changes in fair value of the subject AFS securities and the changes in fair value of the corresponding economic hedges in the Company's financial statements, Liberty elected the fair value option for those of its AFS securities which it considered to be non-strategic ("Fair Value Option Securities"). Accordingly, changes in the fair value of Fair Value Option Securities, as determined by quoted market prices, are reported in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||

-1 | During the six months ended June 30, 2014, TripAdvisor completed three acquisitions for total cash consideration of $152 million, net of cash acquired. The total cash consideration is subject to adjustment based on the finalization of working capital adjustments and amounts retained with payment subject to certain indemnification obligations by the respective sellers. TripAdvisor acquired Vacation Home Rentals, a U.S.-based vacation rental website featuring properties around the world; London-based Tripbod, a travel community that helps connect travelers to local experts to deliver travelers relevant recommendations for trip planning; and Lafourchette, a provider of an online and mobile reservations platform for restaurants in France, Spain and Switzerland. The initial purchase price allocation resulted in the following: $6 million in cash and other net assets, $66 million in amortizable intangible assets, $105 million in goodwill, and $17 million in net deferred tax liabilities. The purchase price allocation of these acquisitions are preliminary and subject to revision as more information becomes available and final valuations are available, but in any case will not be revised beyond 12 months after the acquisition date. | ||||||||||||

QVC Senior Secured Notes | ||||||||||||
On March 18, 2014, QVC, a consolidated subsidiary of Liberty, issued $400 million principal amount of new 3.125% senior secured notes due 2019 at an issue price of 99.828% and $600 million principal amount of new 4.85% senior secured notes due 2024 at an issue price of 99.927% (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are secured by a first-priority lien on the capital stock of QVC, which is the same collateral that secures QVC's existing secured indebtedness. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay indebtedness under QVC’s senior secured credit facility and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. QVC was in compliance with all of its debt covenants related to its outstanding senior secured notes at June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||
QVC Bank Credit Facilities | ||||||||||||
The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the QVC Bank Credit Facilities was 1.9% at June 30, 2014.

QVC was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||
Exchangeable Senior Debentures | ||||||||||||
Liberty has elected to account for the exchangeable senior debentures using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statements of operations. Liberty will review the terms of the debentures on a quarterly basis to determine whether a triggering event has occurred to require current classification of the exchangeables upon a call event. As of June 30, 2014 the balance of the 4% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029, the 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2030 and the 3.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2031 have been classified as current. | ||||||||||||
Other Subsidiary Debt | ||||||||||||
Other subsidiary debt at June 30, 2014 is comprised of capitalized satellite transponder lease obligations and bank debt of certain subsidiaries. | ||||||||||||
Fair Value of Debt | ||||||||||||
Liberty estimates the fair value of its debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rate offered to Liberty for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2). The fair value of Liberty's publicly traded debt securities that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2014 are as follows (amounts in millions): | ||||||||||||
Senior debentures | $ | 883 | ||||||||||

Leases | |
On June 20, 2013, TripAdvisor entered into an additional lease to move its headquarters to Needham, Massachusetts in 2015. TripAdvisor is the deemed owner (for accounting purposes only) of the new building during the construction period under build to suit lease accounting. As building construction began in the fourth quarter of 2013, TripAdvisor recorded estimated project construction costs incurred by the landlord as an asset and a corresponding long term liability in ‘‘Property and equipment, at cost’’ and ‘‘Other liabilities,’’ respectively, in the condensed combined balance sheets. The asset and corresponding long term liability will increase as additional building costs are incurred by the landlord during the construction period. At the completion of construction of the new building (estimated to be May 2015), the lease will be evaluated in order to determine whether or not it meets the criteria for ‘‘sale-leaseback’’ treatment. From the beginning of construction through June 30, 2014 approximately $40 million has been capitalized. | |
Litigation | |
Liberty has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible Liberty may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Information About Liberty's Operating Segments | |||||||||||||
Liberty, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries. Liberty identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of Liberty's annual pre-tax earnings. | |||||||||||||
Liberty evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, Liberty reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate. | |||||||||||||
Liberty defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. Liberty believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's 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. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liberty generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices. | |||||||||||||
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Liberty has identified the following consolidated subsidiaries as its reportable segments: | |||||||||||||
• | QVC - a consolidated subsidiary that markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its domestic and international websites and mobile applications. | ||||||||||||
• | TripAdvisor, Inc. - a consolidated subsidiary that is an online travel research company that empowers users to plan and maximize their travel experience. | ||||||||||||
Additionally, for presentation purposes, Liberty is providing financial information of the E-commerce businesses on an aggregated basis. The consolidated E-commerce businesses do not contribute significantly to the overall operations of Liberty on an individual basis; however, Liberty believes that on an aggregated basis they provide relevant information for users of these financial statements. While these businesses may not meet the aggregation criteria under relevant accounting literature Liberty believes the information is relevant and helpful for a more complete understanding of the consolidated results. | |||||||||||||
• | E-commerce - the aggregation of certain consolidated subsidiaries that market and sell a wide variety of consumer products via the Internet. Categories of consumer products include perishable and personal gift offerings (Provide), active lifestyle gear and clothing (Backcountry), fitness and health goods (Bodybuilding), celebration offerings from invitations to costumes (BuySeasons and Evite) and a drop-ship solutions company (CommerceHub). | ||||||||||||
Liberty's operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant accounting policies in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||

-1 | During the six months ended June 30, 2014, TripAdvisor completed three acquisitions for total cash consideration of $152 million, net of cash acquired. The total cash consideration is subject to adjustment based on the finalization of working capital adjustments and amounts retained with payment subject to certain indemnification obligations by the respective sellers. TripAdvisor acquired Vacation Home Rentals, a U.S.-based vacation rental website featuring properties around the world; London-based Tripbod, a travel community that helps connect travelers to local experts to deliver travelers relevant recommendations for trip planning; and Lafourchette, a provider of an online and mobile reservations platform for restaurants in France, Spain and Switzerland. The initial purchase price allocation resulted in the following: $6 million in cash and other net assets, $66 million in amortizable intangible assets, $105 million in goodwill, and $17 million in net deferred tax liabilities. The purchase price allocation of these acquisitions are preliminary and subject to revision as more information becomes available and final valuations are available, but in any case will not be revised beyond 12 months after the acquisition date. | ||||||||||||

[1] | During the six months ended JuneB 30, 2014, TripAdvisor completed three acquisitions for total cash consideration of $152 million, net of cash acquired. The total cash consideration is subject to adjustment based on the finalization of working capital adjustments and amounts retained with payment subject to certain indemnification obligations by the respective sellers. TripAdvisor acquired Vacation Home Rentals, a U.S.-based vacation rental website featuring properties around the world; London-based Tripbod, a travel community that helps connect travelers to local experts to deliver travelers relevant recommendations for trip planning; and Lafourchette, a provider of an online and mobile reservations platform for restaurants in France, Spain and Switzerland. The initial purchase price allocation resulted in the following: $6 million in cash and other net assets, $66 million in amortizable intangible assets, $105 million in goodwill, and $17 million in net deferred tax liabilities. The purchase price allocation of these acquisitions are preliminary and subject to revision as more information becomes available and final valuations are available, but in any case will not be revised beyond 12 months after the acquisition date. |
