Note on COVID-19

Liberty Media continues to monitor and assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, wholly-owned businesses and various investments. The global spread of COVID-19 prompted many countries throughout the world to take aggressive actions, including imposing travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, closing public attractions and restaurants, and mandating social distancing practices. As a result, the start of the 2020 F1 season was delayed until the beginning of July 2020 and the Major League Baseball season was delayed until the end of July 2020. In addition, in mid-March 2020, Live Nation suspended all large-scale live entertainment events but has continued to host alternative types of concerts and live events in various global locations that are compliant with local safety standards. Liberty Media and our portfolio companies will continue to comply with the recommendations of various government agencies and focus on the safety of our employees, partners and customers. Liberty Media, SiriusXM, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings are in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2020.

Corporate Updates

On January 26, 2021, LMAC completed its IPO of 57.5 million units (the “Units”). LMAC is a newly incorporated blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Each Unit consists of one share of Series A common stock of LMAC and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant of LMAC. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of LMAC's Series A common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, following the later of 30 days after the completion of LMAC's initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to LMAC of $575 million. Concurrently with the IPO, LMAC completed the private sale of 10 million warrants to its sponsor, Liberty Media Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media.

LMAC intends to search for a target in the media, digital media, music, entertainment, communications, telecommunications and technology industries. Liberty Media, through the Sponsor, owns 20% of LMAC’s issued and outstanding common stock and the Sponsor has committed to acquire $250 million of forward purchase units (each consisting of one share of LMAC’s Series B common stock and one-fifth of one warrant to purchase one share of LMAC’s Series A common stock) pursuant to a forward purchase agreement that will close substantially concurrently with the consummation of LMAC’s initial business combination. Liberty Media’s ownership interest in LMAC will consist primarily of Series B common stock following the consummation of LMAC’s initial business combination, and is initially being attributed to the Formula One Group tracking stock.

Number of races in period		5				7								21				17

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the 2020 season was postponed until early July, with certain races cancelled and others rescheduled to later dates. The 2020 revised calendar consisted of 17 events beginning July 5^th and ending December 13^th. Fans were only in attendance in reduced numbers at three races in 2020.

Primary F1 revenue represents the majority of F1’s revenue and is derived from (i) race promotion fees, (ii) broadcasting fees and (iii) advertising and sponsorship fees. For the year ended December 31, 2020, these revenue streams comprised 12%, 55% and 17%, respectively, of total F1 revenue.

Primary F1 revenue increased in the fourth quarter primarily due to growth in broadcast revenue as a result of the pro-rata recognition of such revenue, with 7 of the 17 races taking place in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 5 of the 21 races taking place in the fourth quarter of 2019, partly offset by the impact of one-time contract fee renegotiations with certain broadcasters for 2020. Race promotion and advertising & sponsorship revenue both declined in the fourth quarter. Race promotion revenue was limited as fans were prohibited from attending all but two races during the fourth quarter. Advertising & sponsorship fees declined driven by one-time changes in sponsorship contracts due to the cancellation of races to which contracted sponsorship inventory specifically related and the limited activities at the races, including hospitality.

Primary F1 revenue declined in the full year. Race promotion revenue decreased as fans were prohibited from attending all but three races, which led to one-time changes in the contractual terms of the originally scheduled races that remained on the 2020 calendar and limited revenue generated from the replacement races that were added. Broadcast revenue decreased as the altered schedule triggered lower fees pursuant to the contractual terms of certain broadcast agreements, as well as other one-time contract negotiations that took place in 2020. Advertising & sponsorship revenue declined as F1 was prevented from delivering all elements of a typical sponsorship offering due to the cancellation of certain events to which contracted sponsorship inventory related and the limited activities available at the races, including hospitality. This led to a number of one-time changes in sponsorship fees for 2020, and in some cases the deferral of revenue related to undelivered sponsorship contract rights into future years.

Other F1 revenue decreased in the fourth quarter due to the non-operation of the Paddock Club at all events but one race, and even then with strictly limited capacity, and lower freight revenue driven by fewer flyaway races, partially offset by increased revenue from the F2 and F3 support series as there were two additional races in the current period compared to the prior year. For the full year, other F1 revenue decreased due to less races held, the non-operation of the Paddock Club and lower freight revenue, partially offset by increases in licensing and digital media income driven primarily by growth in F1 TV subscriptions.

Operating loss grew and adjusted OIBDA decreased in the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Team payments increased in the fourth quarter due to the pro rata recognition of prize fund payments across the race season, and team payments decreased in the full year driven by the contraction in F1 revenue and the associated impact on the calculation of variable elements of team payments. Team payments in 2020 included one-time fees paid to teams upon signing the 2021 Concorde Agreement.

Other cost of F1 revenue is largely variable in nature and mostly relates to revenue opportunities. These costs decreased in the fourth quarter and full year due to lower hospitality and lower freight costs from fewer, logistically cheaper races. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in the fourth quarter and full year primarily due to lower personnel and other expenses and reduced discretionary marketing expense.

The Liberty SiriusXM Group holds an approximate 2.2% intergroup interest (5.3 million notional shares) in the Formula One Group as of January 31, 2021. These shares are not included in the outstanding share count of Formula One Group in Liberty Media’s most recent Form 10-K. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying this intergroup interest, the Formula One Group outstanding share count as of January 31, 2021 would have been 237 million.

The businesses and assets attributed to the Formula One Group consist of Liberty Media’s subsidiary F1 and other minority investments, including Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation, AT&T and an inter-group interest in the Braves Group.

BRAVES GROUP - The following table provides the financial results attributed to the Braves Group for the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Approximately $2 million and $7 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense) was allocated to the Braves Group in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively.

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, MLB postponed the start of the 2020 season until late July. The regular season included 60 games (30 home and 30 away) beginning July 24^th and ending September 27^th. Accordingly, the majority of Braves revenue in 2020 was recognized during the third quarter with modest postseason revenue recognized in the fourth quarter, compared to an ordinary 162 game season with revenue recognized primarily over the second and third quarters. There were no fans in attendance during the 2020 season.

Baseball revenue is comprised of (i) ballpark operations (ticket sales, concessions, corporate sales, retail, suites, premium seat fees and postseason), (ii) local broadcast rights and (iii) national broadcast, licensing and other shared MLB revenue streams. Development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income.

Baseball revenue was flat in the fourth quarter despite more postseason games held given the structure of the MLB postseason to accommodate COVID-19 safety protocols. The decrease in baseball revenue for the full year was primarily driven by fewer games held without fans, which led to lower ballpark operations revenue from decreased ticket and concession sales. Fewer games also negatively impacted broadcasting revenue. Development revenue increased in the fourth quarter primarily due to increased parking revenue and decreased for the full year driven by the deferral of rental income from certain tenants at the mixed-use development.

Operating loss and adjusted OIBDA loss improved in the fourth quarter due to lower team costs and postseason operating expense as games were not held at Truist Park, as well as reduced marketing spend and winter player development expense. For the full year, operating loss increased and adjusted OIBDA declined. Lower revenue was partially offset by decreased operating expense as a result of lower player salaries, as players were paid a pro-rata portion of their salaries. Additionally, the Braves had lower facility and game day expenses driven by fewer games with no fans and lower selling, general and administrative expense primarily due to reduced marketing expense.

The Formula One Group holds an approximate 11.1% intergroup interest (6.8 million notional shares) and the Liberty SiriusXM Group holds an approximate 3.7% intergroup interest (2.3 million notional shares) in the Braves Group as of January 31, 2021. These shares are not included in the outstanding share count of the Braves Group in Liberty Media’s most recent Form 10-K. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying these intergroup interests, the Braves Group outstanding share count as of January 31, 2021 would have been 61 million.

The businesses and assets attributed to the Braves Group consist primarily of Liberty Media’s subsidiary the Braves, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club, four minor league baseball clubs (as of 2021) and certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ ballpark and mixed-use development project.

Share Repurchases

From November 1, 2020 through January 31, 2021, Liberty SiriusXM Group repurchased approximately 925 thousand Series C Liberty SiriusXM shares (Nasdaq: LSXMK) at an average cost per share of $41.23 for total cash consideration of $38 million and repurchased approximately 1.5 million Series A Liberty SiriusXM shares (Nasdaq: LSXMA) at an average cost per share of $41.10 for total cash consideration of $61 million.

The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media as of February 1, 2021 is approximately $1.0 billion and can be applied to repurchases of Series A and Series C shares of any of the Liberty Media Corporation tracking stocks.

Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests are marked to fair value. The changes in fair value are recorded in the unrealized gain (loss) on the intergroup interest line item in the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. The intergroup interests will remain outstanding until the redemption of the outstanding interests, at the discretion of Liberty Media’s Board of Directors, through transfer of securities, cash and/or other assets from the Braves Group or Formula One Group, respectively, to the respective tracking stock group.

The Live Nation call spread was issued in connection with the reattribution between Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group in April 2020. Formula One Group bought from Liberty SiriusXM Group a European call option on 34.8 million Live Nation shares with a strike price of $36.72 (the “Reattribution Price”). Simultaneously, Formula One Group sold to Liberty SiriusXM Group a European call option on 34.8 million Live Nation shares with a strike price of $47.74, a 30% premium to the Reattribution Price. The call spread matures on April 22, 2021 and is included within Other Current Assets and Other Current Liabilities on Liberty Media’s unaudited attributed condensed consolidated balance sheet.

---

a)		Includes $44 million and $83 million of cash, liquid investments and restricted cash held at SiriusXM as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
b)		Includes restricted cash held in reserves pursuant to the terms of various financial obligations.
c)		Includes $139 million and $265 million of cash and liquid investments held at Formula 1 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
d)		Outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes with no reduction for the net unamortized discount.
e)		Face amount of the cash convertible notes and exchangeable debentures with no fair market value adjustment.
f)		SiriusXM margin loan amended subsequent to quarter end. See additional detail below.
g)		Includes SiriusXM revolving credit facility.

Total cash, liquid investments and restricted cash attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $860 million during the fourth quarter as additional borrowing at Liberty SiriusXM and SiriusXM and cash from operations at SiriusXM more than offset return of capital. Included in the cash, liquid investments and restricted cash balance attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group at December 31, 2020 is $83 million at SiriusXM. Although SiriusXM is a consolidated subsidiary, it is a separate public company with a significant non-controlling interest, therefore Liberty Media does not have ready access to SiriusXM’s cash balance.

Total debt attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group increased $1.6 billion during the fourth quarter due to borrowing under SiriusXM’s revolving credit facility and additional debt raised at Liberty SiriusXM Group. On November 12, 2020, Liberty Media closed a private offering of $920 million of 0.50% exchangeable senior debentures due 2050 including the exercise of the greenshoe. The number of shares of Live Nation common stock attributable to a debenture represents an initial exchange price of $90.10 per share. A total of approximately 10.2 million shares of Live Nation common stock are attributable to the debentures. Net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the future repayment of indebtedness, including Liberty’s 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, and the settlement of the call spread between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group related to 34.8 million shares of Liberty’s Live Nation common stock. Additionally, the Live Nation margin loan was amended in November 2020, reducing the borrowing capacity to $200 million, increasing the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.0%, decreasing the undrawn commitment fee to 0.5% per annum and extending the maturity date to December 9, 2022. The shares of Live Nation common stock underlying the margin loan was reduced from 53.7 million to 9.0 million following the amendment.

Subsequent to quarter end, Liberty Media amended its SiriusXM margin loan agreement, increasing borrowing capacity to $1.75 billion and extending the maturity to March 2024. There are 1.0 billion eligible pledged shares of SiriusXM common stock that collateralize the SiriusXM margin loan agreement. On February 24, 2021, Liberty Media borrowed an additional $125 million under the margin loan.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to Formula One Group increased $98 million during the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of operating cash flow at F1 primarily due to the timing of cash payments and receipts with commercial partners. Total debt attributed to Formula One Group was flat in the fourth quarter.

Total cash, liquid investments and restricted cash attributed to the Braves Group decreased $55 million during the fourth quarter driven by net debt repayment, capital expenditures related to the mixed-use development and cash used for operations at the Braves in the postseason.

Total debt attributed to the Braves Group decreased $40 million during the fourth quarter due to the repayment under the Braves team revolver, partially offset by increased borrowing to fund the mixed-use development. On January 29, 2021, the Braves amended one of the debt agreements of the mixed-use loans, waiving the debt yield covenant until the quarter ending June 30, 2021. The second phase of the Battery Atlanta mixed-use development is currently on-time and on-budget. It is expected to cost approximately $200 million, of which the Braves and affiliated entities have already funded approximately $55 million in equity and $85 million in debt, with $60 million incremental debt funding remaining.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

SCHEDULE 1

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Braves Group and the Formula One Group, together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Media defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs and impairment charges.

Liberty Media believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. 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 Media 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 Media's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted OIBDA for Liberty Media to operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months and years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

SCHEDULE 2

This press release also includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by SiriusXM, together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone net income, as determined under GAAP. SiriusXM defines adjusted EBITDA as follows: EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. SiriusXM adjusts EBITDA to exclude the impact of other expense (income) as well as certain other charges discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or adjusts for (if applicable): (i) certain adjustments as a result of the purchase price accounting for the XM merger and the Pandora acquisition, (ii) predecessor net income adjusted for certain expenses, including depreciation and amortization, other income (loss), and share-based payment expense for January 2019, (iii) share-based payment expense, (iv) impairment charges and (v) other significant operating expense (income) that do not relate to the on-going performance of SiriusXM’s business. SiriusXM believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the underlying trend of its operating performance, which provides useful information about its business apart from the costs associated with its capital structure and purchase price accounting. SiriusXM believes investors find this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing past operating performance with current performance and comparing SiriusXM’s operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. SiriusXM believes investors use adjusted EBITDA to estimate its current enterprise value and to make investment decisions. As a result of large capital investments in SiriusXM’s satellite radio system, its results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. SiriusXM believes the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful as it is not directly related to the operational conditions of its business. SiriusXM also believes the exclusion of the legal settlements and reserves, acquisition related costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt, to the extent they occur during the period, is useful as they are significant expenses not incurred as part of SiriusXM’s normal operations for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to SiriusXM’s statements of comprehensive income of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense and certain purchase price accounting for the XM Merger and the Pandora Acquisition. SiriusXM endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate SiriusXM’s operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net income as disclosed in its consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, SiriusXM’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:

SCHEDULE 3

This press release also includes a presentation of net operating income for the Battery development, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Braves, together with a reconciliation from operating income for the Battery development. Liberty Media and the Braves define net operating income for the Battery development as operating income for the Battery development less parking & other revenue, plus ownership expenses, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

Liberty Media and the Braves believe net operating income for the Battery development is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the Battery development. Liberty Media and the Braves view operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
