PART I.

Item 1. Business.

(a) General Development of Business

Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty", formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation) owns interests in subsidiaries and other companies which are primarily engaged in the video and on-line commerce industries. Through our subsidiaries and affiliates, we operate in North America, Europe and Asia. Our principal businesses and assets include our consolidated subsidiaries QVC, Inc. ("QVC"), TripAdvisor, Inc. ("TripAdvisor"), Provide Commerce, Inc. ("Provide"), Backcountry.com, Inc. ("Backcountry"), Bodybuilding.com, Inc. ("Bodybuilding"), and Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC ("Celebrate") and our equity affiliates Expedia, Inc. ("Expedia") and HSN, Inc. ("HSN").

On September 23, 2011, we completed a split-off (the "LMC Split-Off") of our wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC" and formerly known as Liberty CapStarz, Inc. and prior thereto Liberty Splitco, Inc.). The LMC Split-Off was effected by means of a redemption of all of the Liberty Capital common stock and Liberty Starz common stock for the common stock of LMC. At the time of the LMC Split-Off, LMC owned all the businesses, assets and liabilities previously attributed to our former Capital and Starz tracking stock groups. Following the LMC Split-Off, Liberty and LMC operate as separately publicly traded companies and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other.

On August 9, 2012, Liberty completed the approved recapitalization of its common stock through the creation of the Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock as tracking stocks. In the recapitalization, each holder of Liberty Interactive Corporation common stock remained a holder of the same amount and series of Liberty Interactive common stock and received 0.05 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Ventures common stock, by means of a dividend, with cash issued in lieu of fractional shares of Liberty Ventures common stock.

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 no group can 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.

Recent Developments

On October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board has 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 attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, CommerceHub, Right Start and Evite, which is currently a part of Liberty's subsidiary Celebrate (as described below), 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. 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 to be called Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings (“Trip Holdings”). Trip Holdings would be comprised of, among other things, Liberty’s 22% economic and 57% voting interest in TripAdvisor, as well as the Celebrate retail business, which is currently a part of Celebrate, and an anticipated initial corporate level net debt balance of $350 million. Management continues to review the proposed restructurings and no assurance can be given as to when or if either such transaction will be completed.

QVC, Inc.

QVC, Inc. ("QVC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products primarily through live televised shopping programs distributed to approximately 296 million (including the joint venture in China as discussed below in further detail) worldwide households each day and via its websites and other interactive media, including QVC.com. The name, QVC, stands for “Quality, Value and Convenience,” which is what QVC strives to deliver to its customers. QVC's operating strategy is to create a premier multimedia lifestyle brand and shopping destination for its customers, further penetrate its core customer base, generate new customers, enhance our programming distribution offerings and expand internationally to drive revenue and profitability. For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 92% of its worldwide shipped sales were from repeat and reactivated customers (i.e., customers who made a purchase from QVC during the prior twelve months and customers who previously made a purchase from QVC but not during the prior twelve months, respectively). In the same period, QVC attracted approximately 3.1 million new customers. QVC's global e-commerce operation comprised $3.2 billion, or 38%, of its consolidated net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.

QVC markets its products in an engaging, entertaining format primarily through live television programs and interactive features on its websites. In the U.S., QVC distributes its programming live 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and presents on average almost 900 products every week. Internationally, QVC distributes live programming 17 to 24 hours per day, depending on the market. QVC's global merchandise mix is similar to that of a high-quality department store, featuring the best in: (i) electronics, (ii) home, (iii) beauty, (iv) jewelry, (v) apparel and (vi) accessories, which, in 2013, accounted for 12%, 31%, 17%, 12%, 16% and 12%, respectively, of its consolidated shipped sales. For the year ended December 31, 2012, such percentages were 13%, 30%, 16%, 13%, 16% and 12%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, such percentages were 13%, 31%, 15%, 14%, 16% and 11%, respectively. Many of QVC's brands are exclusive, while others are created by well-known designers. It is QVC's product sourcing team's mission to research and locate compelling and differentiated products from manufacturers who have sufficient scale to meet anticipated demand. QVC offers many QVC-exclusive products, as well as popular brand name and lesser known products available from other retailers. Many of its products are endorsed by celebrities, designers and other well-known personalities who often join its presenters to personally promote their products and provide lead-in publicity on their own television shows. QVC believes that its ability to demonstrate product features and present “faces and places” differentiates and defines the QVC shopping experience. QVC closely monitors customer demand and its product mix to remain well-positioned and relevant in popular and growing retail segments, which QVC believes is a significant competitive advantage relative to competitors who operate bricks-and-mortar stores.

QVC does not depend on any single supplier or designer for a significant portion of its inventory purchases.

Since its inception, QVC has shipped over 1.6 billion packages in the U.S. alone. QVC operates nine distribution centers and eight call centers worldwide and is able to ship approximately 94% of its orders within 48 hours of order placement. In 2013, QVC's work force of approximately 17,500 employees handled approximately 168 million customer calls, shipped approximately 169 million units globally and served approximately 11.8 million customers. QVC believes its long-term relationships with major U.S. television distributors, including cable operators (e.g., Comcast and Time Warner Cable), satellite television providers (e.g., DISH Network and DIRECTV) and telecommunications companies (e.g., Verizon and AT&T), provide it with broad distribution, favorable channel positioning and significant competitive advantages. QVC believes that its significant market share, brand awareness, outstanding customer service, repeat customer base, international reach and scalable infrastructure distinguishes QVC from its competitors.

QVC-U.S.'s live televised shopping programs are distributed nationally, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, to approximately 106 million television households and approximately 98% of television households subscribing to services offered by television distributors. QVC-U.S. programming is also available on QVC.com, its domestic website, and mobile applications via streaming video. QVC-U.S., including QVC.com, contributed $5.8 billion, or 67.8%, of consolidated net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In March 2013, QVC-U.S. launched over-the-air broadcasting in designated U.S. markets that can be accessed by any television household in such markets, regardless of whether it subscribes to a paid television service. This will allow QVC-U.S. to reach new customers who previously did not have access to the program through other television platforms.

In August 2013, QVC-U.S. launched an additional channel, QVC Plus, which is being distributed through cable and satellite systems. The channel generally offers the same programming as the live channel, but on a three hour pre-recorded delay, which will allow viewers to have access to a broader range of QVC programming options as well as more relevant programming for viewers in differing time zones.

QVC.com, launched in 1996, complements QVC-U.S.'s televised shopping programs by allowing consumers to purchase a wide assortment of goods offered on its televised programs, as well as other products that are available only on QVC.com. QVC views e-commerce as a natural extension of its business, allowing it to stream live video and offer on-demand video segments of items recently presented live on its televised programs. QVC.com allows shoppers to browse, research, compare and perform targeted searches for products, control the order‑entry process and conveniently access their QVC account. For the year ended December 31, 2013, QVC.com generated net revenue of $2.5 billion, or 42.8% of its total domestic net revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 69% of new U.S. customers made their first purchase through QVC.com.

In 2013, QVC's televised shopping programs reached approximately 120 million television households outside of the U.S., primarily in Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. In addition, QVC's joint venture in China, as discussed in more detail in the subsequent paragraph, reached approximately 70 million homes. Beyond the main QVC channels, Germany and the U.K. also broadcast pre-recorded shows on additional channels that offer viewers access to a broader range of QVC programming options. These channels include QVC Beauty and QVC Plus in Germany and QVC Beauty, QVC Extra and QVC Style in the U.K. The programming created for most of these markets is also available via streaming video on its international websites and mobile applications. QVC's international businesses each employ product sourcing teams who select products tailored to the interests of each local market. For the year ended December 31, 2013, QVC's international operations generated $2.8 billion of consolidated net revenue, and QVC's international websites generated $741 million, or 26.7%, of its total international net revenue.

On July 4, 2012, QVC entered into a joint venture with Beijing‑based China Broadcasting Corporation, a limited liability company owned by China National Radio (“CNR”), China's government‑owned radio division. The joint venture, CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. (“CNRS”), is owned 49% by QVC and 51% by CNR through subsidiaries of each company. CNRS operates a retailing business in China through a shopping television channel with an associated website. This joint venture is expected to combine CNRS's existing knowledge of the digital shopping market and consumers in China with QVC's global experience and know-how in multimedia retailing.

QVC distributes its television programs, via satellite and optical fiber, to cable television and direct-to-home satellite system operators for retransmission to their subscribers in the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K. and neighboring countries. QVC also transmits its television programs over digital terrestrial broadcast television to viewers throughout Italy and the U.K. and to viewers in certain geographic regions in the U.S and Germany. In the U.S., QVC uplinks its analog and digital programming transmissions using a third-party service. Both transmissions are uplinked to protected, non-preemptible transponders on U.S. satellites. "Protected" status means that, in the event of a transponder failure, the signal will be transferred to a spare transponder or, if none is available, to a preemptible transponder located on the same satellite or, in certain cases, to a transponder on another satellite owned by the same service provider if one is available at the time of the failure. "Non-preemptible" status means that, in the event of a transponder failure, QVC's transponders cannot be preempted in favor of a user of a failed transponder, even another user with "protected status." The international business units each obtain uplinking services from third parties and transmit their programming to non-preemptible transponders on international satellites. The transponder service agreements for the U.S. transponders expire at the earlier of the end of the lives of the satellites or the service agreements. The service agreements expire in 2019 through 2020. The transponder service agreements for the international transponders expire in 2014 through 2022.

QVC continually seeks to expand and enhance its television and e-commerce platforms, as well as to further its international operations and multimedia capabilities. QVC launched QVCHD in the U.S. in April 2008, and in May 2009, became the first U.S. multimedia retailer to offer a native HD service. QVCHD is a high-definition simulcast of QVC's U.S. telecast utilizing the full 16x9 screen ratio, while keeping the side panel for additional information. High-definition, or HD, programming allows QVC to utilize a typically wider television screen with crisper and more colorful images to present a larger “storefront,” which QVC believes captures the attention of channel “surfers” and engages its customers. In the U.S., QVCHD reached approximately 70 million television households, as it continues to develop and launch features to further enrich the television viewing experience.

QVC enters into long-term affiliation agreements with certain of its television distributors who downlink its programming and distribute the programming to customers. QVC's affiliation agreements with both domestic and international distributors have

I-5

QuickLinks -- Click here to rapidly navigate through this document

termination dates ranging from 2014 to 2022. QVC's ability to continue to sell products to its customers is dependent on its ability to maintain and renew these affiliation agreements in the future. Although QVC is typically successful in obtaining and renewing these agreements, it does not have distribution agreements with some of the distributors that carry its programming. In total, QVC is currently providing programming without affiliation agreements to distributors representing 6% of its U.S. distribution, and short-term, rolling 90 day letters of extension, to distributors who represent approximately 22% of its U.S. distribution. Some of its international programming may continue to be carried by distributors after the expiration dates on its affiliation agreements have passed.

In return for carrying QVC's signals, each programming distributor in the U.S. receives an allocated portion, based upon market share, of up to 5% of the net sales of merchandise sold via the television programs and from certain Internet sales to customers located in the programming distributor's service areas. In Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy, programming distributors predominately receive an agreed-upon annual fee, a monthly fee per subscriber regardless of the net sales, a variable percentage of net sales or some combination of the above scenarios.

In addition to sales-based commissions or per-subscriber fees, QVC also makes payments to distributors in the U.S. for carriage and to secure positioning within a broadcast area or within the general entertainment area on the distributor's channel line-up. QVC believes that a portion of its sales are attributable to purchases resulting from channel “surfing” and that a channel position near broadcast networks and more popular cable networks increases the likelihood of such purchases. As technology evolves, QVC will continue to monitor optimal channel placement and attempt to negotiate agreements with its distributors to maximize the viewership of its television programming.

QVC enjoys a loyal customer base, as demonstrated by the fact that for the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 86% of its worldwide net revenue came from repeat customers (i.e., customers who made a purchase from QVC during the prior twelve months), who spent an average of $1,335 each during this period. An additional 6% of net revenue in that period came from reactivated customers (i.e., customers who previously made a purchase from QVC, but not during the prior twelve months). QVC believes this customer loyalty diminishes pressure on it to pursue expensive marketing programs, especially during periods of slower economic activity, which helps control overall marketing expenses.

QVC believes its core customer base represents an attractive demographic target market. Based on internal customer data, approximately 51% of its 7.5 million domestic customers for year ended December 31, 2013 were women between the ages of 35 and 64.

QVC strives to be prompt and efficient in order taking and fulfillment. QVC has three domestic phone centers located in San Antonio, Texas; Port St. Lucie, Florida; and Chesapeake, Virginia that can direct calls from one call center to another as volume mandates. This ability to transfer calls reduces a caller's hold time, helping to ensure that orders will not be lost as a result of abandoned or unanswered calls. QVC also has one phone center in each of Japan, the United Kingdom and Italy and two call centers in Germany. Many markets also utilize home agents to handle calls, allowing staffing flexibility for peak hours. In addition, QVC utilizes computerized voice response units, which handle approximately 30% of all orders taken on a worldwide basis.

In addition to taking orders from its customers through phone centers and online, QVC continues to expand its ordering platforms. QVC is expanding mobile device ordering capabilities and over the past several years has launched iPhone and iPad applications, Android and Blackberry applications, a WAP (wireless application protocol) mobile website and a robust SMS (short message services) program. On a global basis, customers placed approximately 12% of all orders directly through their mobile devices in 2013.

Through QVC's nine worldwide distribution centers, QVC shipped approximately 94% of its orders within 48 hours of order placement in the year ended December 31, 2013. QVC's domestic distribution centers are located in Suffolk, Virginia; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; West Chester, Pennsylvania; Rocky Mount, North Carolina; and Florence, South Carolina. QVC also has distribution centers in Sakura-shi, Chiba, Japan; Hücklehoven, Germany; Knowsley, United Kingdom and Castel San Giovanni, Italy.

QVC has built a scalable operating infrastructure focused on sustaining efficient, flexible and cost-effective sale and distribution of its products. Since its physical store locations are minimal, QVC requires lower inventory levels and capital expenditures compared to traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers. In recent years, QVC has made significant investments in its distribution centers and information technology systems that it believes will accommodate its foreseeable growth needs. Further, since QVC has no set “floor plan” and can closely manage inventory levels at its centralized warehouses, QVC believes it has the flexibility

I-6

to analyze and react quickly to changing trends and demand by shifting programming time and product mix. QVC's cost structure is highly variable, which QVC believes allows it to consistently achieve attractive margins relative to bricks-and-mortar retailers.

QVC's web and mobile platforms are fully integrated with its televised programming and product distribution capabilities. QVC's web and mobile platform features include a live video stream of its television programming, full integration with its order fulfillment, its product branding, as well as the thematic offerings and events that have become fundamental to its televised programming.

Third party carriers transport QVC's packages from its distribution centers to its customers. In each market where QVC operates, it has entered into long-term contracts with shipping companies, which in certain circumstances provides for favorable shipping rates.

QVC operates in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive retail business environment. Based on domestic net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, QVC is the leading television retailer in the U.S. and generates substantially more net revenue than its closest two televised shopping competitors, HSN (an entity in which we have a 38% ownership interest as of December 31, 2013) and ShopHQ. QVC's international operations face similar competition in their respective markets, such as Shop Channel in Japan, HSE 24 in Germany and Ideal World in the United Kingdom. Additionally, QVC has numerous and varied competitors at the national and local levels, ranging from large department stores to specialty shops, electronic retailers, direct marketing retailers, wholesale clubs, discount retailers, infomercial retailers, Internet retailers, and mail-order and catalog companies.

QVC also competes for access to customers and audience share with other providers of televised, online and hard copy entertainment and content. The price and availability of other programming and the conversion to digital programming platforms may unfavorably affect the placement of its programming in the channel line-ups of its distributors, and may affect its ability to obtain distribution agreements with small cable distributors. Competition from other programming also affects the compensation that must be paid to distributors for carriage, which continues to increase. Principal competitive factors for QVC include (i) value, quality and selection of merchandise; (ii) customer experience, including customer service and reliability of fulfillment and delivery services and (iii) convenience and accessibility of sales channels.

QVC regards its trademarks, service marks, copyrights, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as critical to its success. QVC relies on a combination of trademark and copyright law, trade‑secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with its employees, customers, suppliers, affiliates and others to protect these proprietary rights.

TripAdvisor, Inc.

TripAdvisor is an online travel company, empowering users to plan and maximize their travel experience. Its travel research platform aggregates reviews and opinions from its community of travelers about destinations, accommodations (including hotels, resorts, motels, bed and breakfasts, or B&Bs, specialty lodging and vacation rentals), restaurants and activities throughout the world through its flagship TripAdvisor brand. TripAdvisor's branded websites include tripadvisor.com in the United States and localized versions of the website in 33 other countries, including in China under the brand daodao.com. Its branded websites globally reached more than 260 million monthly unique visitors during the year ended December 31, 2013, according to Google Analytics, and it features over 125 million reviews and opinions. Beyond travel-related content, TripAdvisor's websites also include links to the websites of its customers, including travel advertisers, allowing travelers to directly book their travel arrangements. In addition to the flagship TripAdvisor brand, TripAdvisor now manages and operates 20 other travel media brands, connected by the common goal of providing comprehensive travel planning resources across the travel sector.

TripAdvisor was founded with the goal of providing an online resource based on user-generated content to prospective travelers. By using the power of the Internet to create transparency in the travel planning process with a comprehensive online resource for travel information, TripAdvisor has democratized the travel research and planning process. In order to achieve its goals, TripAdvisor leverages its key assets; a robust community of users, rich user-generated content, technology and a commitment to continuous innovation and global reach.

TripAdvisor derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of advertising, primarily through click-based advertising and, to a lesser extent, display-based advertising. The remainder of its revenue is generated through a combination of subscription-based offerings, making hotel room nights available on its transactional sites, including Jetsetter and Tingo, and other revenue including content licensing. In the year ended December 31, 2013, TripAdvisor earned $696 million of revenue from click-based advertising, $119 million in revenue from display-based advertising and $130 million in revenue from subscription-based offerings, transaction revenue and other revenue.

TripAdvisor has click-based advertising relationships with the vast majority of the leading online travel agencies globally as well as a variety of other travel suppliers pursuant to which these companies purchase traveler leads from it, generally on a CPC basis. For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $217 million, or 23%, of its total revenue was derived from Expedia businesses. At the time of TripAdvisor's spin-off from Expedia (Liberty has an approximate 18% ownership interest in Expedia and accounts for such investment as an equity method affiliate), new commercial arrangements with Expedia-owned brands, including Expedia.com and Hotels.com were implemented. For the year ended December 31, 2013, TripAdvisor's two most significant advertising customers accounted for a combined 47% of total revenue. These and its other click-based advertising relationships are strategically important to it and most can be terminated by the advertiser at will or on short notice.

TripAdvisor has a content licensing program utilized by over 850 partners across the world, including hotel chains, online travel agents, tourist boards, airlines and media sites. TripAdvisor also distributes its content through self-service HTML widgets, which are used on the websites of hotels, restaurants, attractions and destination marketing organizations. These products, which are available at no cost in the TripAdvisor Management Center, allow businesses and destinations to promote themselves by displaying their TripAdvisor ratings, reviews and awards. TripAdvisor widgets are presently found on more than 100,000 unique domains around the globe, reaching over 500 million people per month. Partners benefit from its user-generated content, such as reviews, ratings, photos and traveler forums. In addition, TripAdvisor powers review collection for a growing number of partners such as Accor Hotels, Wyndham Hotel Group, Best Western and Easytobook.com, enabling them to proactively collect reviews from their own customers post-stay in their own branded environment. TripAdvisor has also developed partnerships with mobile carriers and device manufacturers.

TripAdvisor also syndicates its click-based advertising to third-party websites. The largest such syndication relationship is with Yahoo! Travel Guides, pursuant to which it provides “show prices” advertising on the Yahoo! Travel Guides' hotel pages.

TripAdvisor's systems infrastructure, web and database servers for TripAdvisor branded websites are housed at two geographically separate facilities and have multiple communication links as well as continuous monitoring and engineering support. Each facility is fully self-sufficient and operational with its own hardware, networking, software, and content, and is structured in an active/passive, fully redundant configuration. Substantially all of its software components, data, and content are replicated in

multiple datacenters and development centers, as well as being backed up at offsite locations. TripAdvisor's systems are monitored and protected though multiple layers of security. Several of its individual subsidiaries and businesses, including its subsidiaries in China, have their own data infrastructure and technology teams.

On December 11, 2012, we acquired approximately 4.8 million additional shares of common stock of TripAdvisor (an additional 4% equity ownership interest), for $300 million, along with the right to control the vote of the shares of TripAdvisor's common stock and class B common stock we own. Following the transaction we owned approximately 22% of the equity and 57% of the total votes of all classes of TripAdvisor common stock.

Provide Commerce, Inc.

Provide, a wholly-owned subsidiary that we acquired in February 2006, operates an e-commerce marketplace of websites that offers high-quality perishable products direct from suppliers to consumers and a wide range of unique non-perishable and personalized gifts through its RedEnvelope and Personal Creations brands, which it acquired in 2008 and 2010, respectively. Provide combines an online storefront, proprietary supply chain management technology, established supplier relationships and integrated logistical relationships with FedEx Corporation and United Parcel Service, Inc. to create a market platform that bypasses traditional supply chains of wholesalers, distributors and retailers. Provide derives a large portion of its revenue (approximately 60%) from the sale of flowers and plants on its proflowers.com and proplants.com websites and the remainder from the sale of gourmet foods and gifts from its branded websites: Cherry Moon Farms, for fresh premium fruits; Shari's Berries, for chocolate-dipped berries and related gifting products; RedEnvelope and Personal Creations, for personalized and unique gifts.

Provide Commerce's business is highly seasonal due largely to purchases of flowers and other gifts for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. In 2013, Provide Commerce earned approximately 64% of its revenue in the first half of the year. Provide Commerce depends on three suppliers for approximately 70% of its cut floral products. The loss of any of these suppliers could adversely impact Provide Commerce.

Provide Commerce believes that one of the keys to its success is its ability to timely deliver products, and perishable products, on time and fresher, than its competitors thereby providing a better value for its customers. Provide Commerce maintains a customer service center located at its corporate headquarters to respond to customer phone calls and emails 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Backcountry.com, Inc.

We acquired 81% of the equity of Backcountry in June 2007, increasing our ownership to 88% through share purchases in 2011 and 2012.

the customer service center and warehouse is scalable, and Backcountry employs seasonal labor to react to higher volume during peak periods of the year.

Bodybuilding.com, LLC

On December 31, 2007, we acquired 82.9% of Bodybuilding. Subsequent to that time we have acquired an additional 7.1% of Bodybuilding.com, LLC, giving us overall ownership of 90.0%.

Bodybuilding.com is an Internet retailer of sports, fitness, and nutritional supplements. It also hosts an online health-and-fitness publication, offering free fitness content, workout programs, video trainers, recipes, health advice and motivational stories. The online e-retail model combines detailed product information and real-time user reviews on more than 15,000 health-and-fitness supplements and accessories to help the consumer achieve their health, fitness and appearance goals. Beyond the e-retail model, Bodybuilding.com is a site that provides the technology and the tools needed for personal training, nutrition, supplement expertise and support groups.

Bodybuilding.com's customers include gym-goers, athletes, weightlifters, bodybuilders and any individual wanting to improve their mental and physical well-being. Bodybuilding.com tries to offer a holistic experience for people looking to achieve their goals. BodySpace is an inclusive social networking site within Bodybuilding.com that allows people of varying health and fitness levels to discuss goal setting, techniques, supplementation and achievements as users track their progress.

Bodybuilding.com launched its primary website in 1999 and now has more than 42,000 pages of editorial content, more than 8,000 videos, 16,000 pages of store content, more than 5 million forum threads, more than 100 million forum posts and more than 1.5 million BodySpace members.

Bodybuilding.com is one of the largest e-retailers in the supplement industry, seeking to offer its customers competitive prices and quality customer service. Bodybuilding.com's business is slightly seasonal; the first quarter of the year is its busiest, as people start to implement their New Year's resolutions toward health and fitness.

Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC

Celebrate is a wholly-owned subsidiary that owns and operates BuyCostumes.com and the Celebrate Express family of websites (combined "Celebrate retail") and Evite.com. Celebrate, an internet celebrations leader, provides a unique party offering by giving individuals the resources necessary to plan, execute and attend a wide variety of celebrations and costuming events. These resources include event planning services, which are free to Evite customers as revenue is driven primarily through online advertising, party supplies primarily through Celebrate retail which offers proprietary products through exclusive license agreements and costumes for a wide variety of occasions (the primary occasion is Halloween). Celebrate retail purchases its products from various suppliers, both domestic and international. Celebrate retail depends on five suppliers for approximately one half of its costumes, accessories, and party supplies. The loss of any of these suppliers could adversely impact stand alone financial results of Celebrate.

The broader party and costume business segments have a large number of independent retailers, both bricks-and-mortar and online. Celebrate retail has three primary competitors. Party City is the most significant competitor selling in both the party and costume categories. Celebrate believes it has a competitive advantage due to the combination of a large assortment of on-line products, services related to party planning, product personalization, value pricing and a high level of customer service. Celebrate's business is highly seasonal with approximately half of its revenue earned from the sale of costumes in September and October leading up to Halloween. Since the acquisition of Celebrate Express and Evite, Celebrate has seen the seasonality decrease slightly due to higher sales of birthday party supplies and online advertising which are less seasonal businesses. Celebrate maintains a customer service center, at its corporate headquarters, and customer service representatives are available 16 hours a day, seven days a week during its busy season to respond to customer questions. The customer service center and warehouse staffing is scalable and Celebrate employs seasonal labor to react to higher volume during the peak Halloween season.

As discussed earlier in the Recent Developments, the proposed restructurings would have an impact on these businesses as the Celebrate retail business is anticipated to form a part of Trip Holdings in connection with the proposed spin-off, and the Evite business would be attributed to the Digital Commerce Group following the creation of the new tracking stock in the proposed restructurings.

CommerceHub

CommerceHub provides a Software-as-a-Service platform for online retailers and their suppliers (manufacturers, and distributors). Retailers use the company's software to sell products to consumers without physically owning inventory, or managing the fulfillment of those products.

The retailer selects the products they want to sell and the product images and descriptions necessary to post the products for sale online are available through the CommerceHub solution. When consumers purchase products from the retailer, a purchase order is electronically delivered to the relevant supplier, which ships the ordered items directly to the consumer. The retailer is able to monitor the status of orders sent through CommerceHub to ensure that consumers receive the purchased products within the expected time frame.

Retailers that use CommerceHub receive the benefit of an expanded assortment of products available to consumers for purchase, without any capital investment in inventory or fulfillment operations.

Expedia, Inc.

Expedia is an online travel company, empowering business and leisure travelers with the tools and information they need to efficiently research, plan, book and experience travel. Expedia seeks to grow its business through a dynamic portfolio of travel brands, including its majority owned subsidiaries that feature the world's broadest supply portfolio - including almost 260,000 hotels in 200 countries, 400 airlines, packages, rental cars, cruises, as well as destination services and activities. Travel suppliers distribute and market products via its sites, its private label business and its call centers in order to reach its extensive, global audience, including the approximately 60 million unique visitors that visit its sites on a monthly basis.

Expedia operates a strong brand portfolio with global reach, targeting a broad range of travelers, travel suppliers and advertisers. Expedia understands that consumers typically visit multiple travel sites prior to booking travel, and having a multi-brand strategy increases the likelihood that those consumers will visit one or more of its sites. Expedia also markets to consumers through a variety of channels, including internet search, and having multiple brands appear in search results also increases the likelihood of attracting visitors, particularly in international markets, where Expedia historically has not invested as heavily in offline brand marketing campaigns. Expedia's brands tailor their product offerings and websites to particular traveler demographics. For example, Hotwire finds deep discount deals for the budget-minded travel shopper while its Classic Vacations brand targets high-end, luxury travelers. The Expedia brand spans the widest swath of potential customers with travel options across a broad value spectrum, while the Hotels.com brand focuses specifically on a hotel only product offering.

Expedia makes travel products and services available both on a stand-alone and package basis, primarily through two business models: the merchant model and the agency model. Under both models, Expedia facilitates the booking of hotel rooms, airline seats, car rentals and destination services from its travel suppliers. Under the merchant model, Expedia is the merchant of record. Under the agency model, the travel supplier is the merchant of record. During 2012, Expedia introduced the Expedia Traveler Preference program that enables much closer integration of the agency hotel product with its core merchant offering. Specifically, for participating hotels, Expedia will be able to offer customers the choice of whether to pay Expedia in advance or pay at the hotel at the time of the stay.

Expedia makes travel products and services available from a variety of hotel companies, large and small commercial airlines, car rental companies, cruise lines and destination service providers. Expedia seeks to build and maintain long-term, strategic relationships with travel suppliers and global distribution system (“GDS”) partners. An important component of the success of

I-11

Expedia's business depends on its ability to maintain its existing, as well as build new, relationships with travel suppliers and GDS partners.

Expedia provides 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week traveler sales and support by telephone or via e-mail. For purposes of operational flexibility, Expedia uses a combination of outsourced and in-house call centers. Expedia's call centers are located throughout the world, including extensive outsourced operations in the Philippines, El Salvador and Egypt. Expedia invested significantly in its call center technologies, with the goal of improving customer experience and increasing the efficiency of its call center agents. Expedia's systems infrastructure and web and database servers are housed in various locations, mainly in the United States, which have communication links as well as 24-hour monitoring and engineering support. The web hosting facilities have their own generators and multiple back-up systems. Significant amounts of Expedia's owned computer hardware for operating the websites are located at these facilities. For some critical systems, Expedia has both production and disaster-recovery facilities

We own an approximate 18% equity interest and 58% voting interest in Expedia. We have entered into governance arrangements pursuant to which Mr. Barry Diller, Chairman of the Board and Senior Executive Officer of Expedia, may vote our shares of Expedia, subject to certain limitations. Also through our governance arrangements with Mr. Diller, we have the right to appoint and have appointed 20% of the members of Expedia's board of directors, which is currently comprised of 10 members.

Regulatory Matters

Programming and Interactive Television Services

Although QVC, a wholly owned subsidiary, and HSN, a business affiliate, market and sell consumer products through a variety of outlets, each primarily does so through live video programming services distributed by cable television systems, satellite systems and over-the-air broadcasters. Consequently, regulation of programming services and the entities that distribute them can affect QVC and HSN. In the United States, the FCC regulates broadcasters, the providers of satellite communications services and facilities for the transmission of programming services, the cable television systems and other multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs") that distribute such services, and, to some extent, the availability of the programming services themselves through its regulation of program licensing. Cable television systems in the United States are also regulated by municipalities or other state and local government authorities. Regulatory carriage requirements also could adversely affect the number of channels available to QVC and HSN.

Regulation of Program Licensing. The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the 1992 Cable Act) directed the FCC to promulgate regulations regarding the sale and acquisition of cable programming between MVPDs (including cable operators) and satellite-delivered programming services in which a cable operator has an attributable interest. The 1992 Cable Act and implementing regulations generally prohibit a cable operator that has an attributable interest in a satellite programmer from improperly influencing the terms and conditions of sale to unaffiliated MVPDs. Further, the 1992 Cable Act requires that such affiliated programmers make their programming services available to cable operators and competing MVPDs such as multi-channel multi-point distribution systems and direct broadcast satellite ("DBS") distributors on terms and conditions that do not unfairly discriminate among distributors, and the FCC has established complaint enforcement and damages remedy procedures. FCC rules attribute LMC’s ownership interest in Charter Communications, Inc., and Liberty Global plc’s ownership of Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico, LLC to us, thereby subjecting us and satellite-delivered programming services in which we have an interest to the program access rules. We are also subject to the program access rules as a condition of FCC approval of our transaction with News Corporation in 2008.

Regulation of Carriage of Programming. Under the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has adopted regulations prohibiting cable operators from requiring a financial interest in a programming service as a condition to carriage of such service, coercing exclusive rights in a programming service or favoring affiliated programmers so as to restrain unreasonably the ability of unaffiliated programmers to compete. The FCC has established program carriage complaint rules.

Regulation of Ownership. The 1992 Cable Act required the FCC, among other things, (1) to prescribe rules and regulations establishing reasonable limits on the number of channels on a cable system that will be allowed to carry programming in which the owner of such cable system has an attributable interest and (2) to consider the necessity and appropriateness of imposing limitations on the degree to which MVPDs (including cable operators) may engage in the creation or production of video programming. Although the FCC adopted regulations limiting carriage by a cable operator of national programming services in which that operator holds an attributable interest in 1993, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the FCC's decision and remanded the rule to the FCC for further consideration in 2001. In response to the Court's decision, the FCC issued further notices of proposed rulemaking in 2001 and in 2005 to consider channel occupancy limitations, but has not issued any rules. Even if these rules were readopted by the FCC, they would have little impact on QVC and HSN.

I-13

Regulation of Carriage of Broadcast Stations. The 1992 Cable Act granted broadcasters a choice of must carry rights or retransmission consent rights. The rules adopted by the FCC generally provided for mandatory carriage by cable systems of all local full-power commercial television broadcast signals selecting must carry rights and, depending on a cable system's channel capacity, non-commercial television broadcast signals. Such statutorily mandated carriage of broadcast stations coupled with the provisions of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, which require cable television systems with 36 or more "activated" channels to reserve a percentage of such channels for commercial use by unaffiliated third parties and permit franchise authorities to require the cable operator to provide channel capacity, equipment and facilities for public, educational and government access channels, could adversely affect QVC and HSN by limiting the carriage of such services in cable systems with limited channel capacity.

Closed Captioning Regulation. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 also required the FCC to establish rules and an implementation schedule to ensure that video programming is fully accessible to the hearing impaired through closed captioning. The rules adopted by the FCC require substantial closed captioning, with only limited exemptions. In 2012, the FCC adopted regulations pursuant to the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 ("CVAA") that require, among other things, video programming owners to send caption files for Internet protocol ("IP") delivered video programming to video programming distributors and providers along with program files. A four year implementation period for the IP-delivered programming captioning requirements began in March 2012. As a result, QVC and HSN may incur additional costs for closed captioning.

Internet Services

Our online commerce businesses are subject, both directly and indirectly, to various laws and governmental regulations. Certain of these businesses engaged in the provision of goods and services over the Internet must comply with federal and state laws and regulations applicable to online communications and commerce. For example, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") prohibits web sites from collecting personally identifiable information online from children under age 13 without parental consent and imposes a number of operational requirements. In 2012, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") adopted revised COPPA regulations amending certain definitions and modifying certain operational requirements regarding notice and parental consent, among other matters. Certain email activities are subject to the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, commonly known as the CAN-SPAM Act. The CAN-SPAM Act regulates the sending of unsolicited commercial email by requiring the email sender, among other things, to comply with specific disclosure requirements and to provide an "opt-out" mechanism for recipients. Both of these laws include statutory penalties for non-compliance. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act limits, but does not eliminate, liability for listing or linking to third party websites that may include content that infringes on copyrights or other rights so long as our Internet businesses comply with the statutory requirements. Various states also have adopted laws regulating certain aspects of Internet communications. In 2007, Congress enacted legislation extending the moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access and commerce until 2014. Legislative proposals that would extend the moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access and commerce are pending in Congress, while other proposed legislation would permit the imposition of such taxes on Internet access and commerce.

Goods sold over the Internet also must comply with traditional regulatory requirements, such as the FTC requirements regarding truthful and accurate claims. To the extent that Bodybuilding.com, for example, markets or sells nutritional or dietary supplements, its activities may be regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in certain respects. Dietary supplement distributors must comply with FDA regulations regarding supplement labeling and reporting.

Our online commerce businesses are subject to laws governing the collection, use, retention, security and transfer of personally-identifiable information about their users. In particular, the collection and use of personal information by companies has received increased regulatory scrutiny on a global basis. The enactment, interpretation and application of user data protection laws are in a state of flux, and the interpretation and application of such laws may vary from country to country. For example, new data laws that give customers additional rights and impose additional restrictions and penalties on companies for illegal collection and misuse of personal information are under consideration in the European Union, and a European Union directive restricting the Internet tracking tools known as "cookies" has taken effect. In the U.S., the FTC has proposed a privacy policy framework, and legislation that would require organizations that suffer a breach of security related to personal information to notify owners of such information is pending in Congress. Many states have adopted laws requiring notification to users when there is a security breach affecting personal data, such as California's Information Practices Act. Complying with these different national and state privacy requirements

may cause the Internet companies in which we have interests to incur substantial costs. In addition, such companies generally have and post on their websites privacy policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of user data. A failure to comply with such posted privacy policies or with the regulatory requirements of federal, state, or foreign privacy laws could result in proceedings or actions by governmental agencies or others (such as class action litigation) which could adversely affect our online commerce businesses. Technical violations of certain privacy laws can result in significant penalties, including statutory penalties. In 2012, the FCC amended its regulations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), which could subject our Internet businesses to increased liability for certain telephonic communications with customers, including but not limited to text messages to mobile phones. Under the TCPA, plaintiffs may seek actual monetary loss or statutory damages of $500 per violation, whichever is greater, and courts may treble such damage awards for willful or knowing violations. Data collection, privacy and security are growing public concerns. If consumers were to decrease their use of our Internet businesses' websites to purchase products and services, such businesses could be harmed. Congress and individual states may consider additional online privacy legislation.

Other Internet-related laws and regulations enacted in the future may cover issues such as defamatory speech, copyright infringement, pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. The future adoption of such laws or regulations may slow the growth of commercial online services and the Internet, which could in turn cause a decline in the demand for the services and products of our online commerce businesses and increase their costs of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on their businesses, operating results and financial conditions. Moreover, the applicability to commercial online services and the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel, personal privacy and taxation is uncertain and could expose these companies to substantial liability.

In 2010, the FCC adopted rules in its open Internet proceeding that require all broadband providers to disclose network management practices, restrict broadband providers from blocking Internet content and applications, and prohibit fixed broadband providers from engaging in unreasonable discrimination in transmitting lawful network traffic. The open Internet rules could restrict the ability of broadband providers to block or otherwise disadvantage our Internet businesses. On January 14, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the anti-discrimination and anti-blocking rules, but upheld the disclosure rule. On February 19, 2014, the FCC announced that it intends to propose revised open Internet rules.

Proposed Changes in Regulation

The regulation of programming services, cable television systems, DBS providers, Internet services, online sales and other forms of product marketing is subject to the political process and has been in constant flux over the past decade. Further material changes in the law and regulatory requirements must be anticipated and there can be no assurance that our business will not be adversely affected by future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

Competition

Our businesses that engage in video and online commerce compete with traditional bricks-and-mortar and online retailers ranging from large department stores to specialty shops, electronic retailers, direct marketing retailers, such as mail order and catalog companies, and discount retailers. Due to the nature of these businesses there is not a single or small group of competitors that own a significant portion of the overall market share. However, some of these competitors, such as Amazon, have a significantly greater Web-presence than our e-commerce subsidiaries. In addition, QVC and HSN compete for access to customers and audience share with each other and with other conventional forms of entertainment and content. Provide Commerce competes with online floral providers such as 1-800-FLOWERS and floral wire services such as FTD and Teleflora, as well as local bricks-and-mortar florists, supermarkets, mass merchants, gift retailers and floral and gift mass merchants. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which our electronic commerce businesses compete are high-quality products, freshness, brand recognition, selection, value, convenience, price, website performance, customer service and accuracy of order shipment. Our businesses that offer services through the Internet, including TripAdvisor, compete with businesses that offer their own services directly through the Internet as well as with traditional offline providers of similar services including travel agencies, (both bricks-and-mortar and online), operators of destination search sites and search-centric portals, search technology providers, online advertising networks, site aggregation companies, Internet search engines and niche competitors that focus on a specific category or geography. Expedia also competes with hoteliers and airlines as well as travel planning service providers, including aggregator sites that offer inventory from multiple suppliers, such as airline sites, Orbitz, Travelocity and Priceline, and with American Express and Navigant International, providers of corporate travel services. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets in which our

businesses that offer services through the Internet engage are selection, price, availability of inventory, convenience, brand recognition, accessibility, customer service, reliability, website performance, and ease of use.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, our corporate function is supported by a services agreement with LMC which has 79 corporate employees who are also considered employees of Liberty. Additionally, our consolidated subsidiaries had an aggregate of approximately 23,000 full and part-time employees. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risks described below and elsewhere in this annual report are not the only ones that relate to our businesses or our capitalization. The risks described below are considered to be the most material. However, there may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that also could have material adverse effects on our businesses. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of the events described below were to occur, our businesses, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Risk Factors Related to our Company, the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group

The risks described below apply to our company and to the businesses and assets attributable to the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group.

The historical financial information of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group included in this Form 10-K, may not necessarily reflect their results had they been separate companies. One of the reasons for the creation of a tracking stock is to permit equity investors to apply more specific criteria in valuing the shares of a particular group, such as comparisons of earnings multiples with those of other companies in the same business sector. In valuing shares of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, investors should recognize that the historical financial information of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group has been extracted from our consolidated financial statements prior to and for a period of time following the LMC Split-Off, as well as prior to and for a period of time following the creation of the Ventures Group in August 2012, and may not necessarily reflect what the Interactive Group’s and the Ventures Group’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group been separate, stand-alone entities pursuing independent strategies during the periods presented.

Our subsidiary QVC depends on the television distributors that carry its programming, and no assurance can be given that QVC will be able to maintain and renew its affiliation agreements on favorable terms or at all. QVC currently distributes its programming through affiliation or transmission agreements with many television providers, including, but not limited to, Comcast, DIRECTV, DISH Network and Time Warner Cable in the U.S., JCN, Jupiter Telecommunications, Ltd., Sky Perfect and World Hi-Vision Channel, Inc. in Japan, Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH, Media Broadcast GmbH, SES ASTRA, SES Platform Services GmbH, Telekom Deutschland GmbH and Unitymedia Kabel BW GmbH in Germany, A1 Telekom Austria AG and UPC Telekabel Wien GmbH and in Austria, Arqiva, British Sky Broadcasting, Freesat SDN and Virgin Media in the United Kingdom and Mediaset and Sky Italia in Italy. QVC’s affiliation agreements with its distributors are scheduled to expire between 2014 and 2022. As part of normal course renewal discussions, occasionally QVC has disagreements with its distributors over the terms of its carriage, such as channel placement or other contract terms. If not resolved through business negotiation, such disagreements could result in litigation or termination of an existing agreement. Termination of an existing agreement resulting in the loss of distribution of QVC’s programming to a material portion of its television households may adversely affect its growth, net revenue and earnings. The renewal negotiation process for affiliation agreements is typically lengthy. In some cases, renewals are not agreed upon prior to the expiration of a given agreement while the programming continues to be carried by the relevant distributor without an effective agreement in place. QVC does not have distribution agreements with some of the cable operators that carry its programming. In total, QVC is currently providing programming without affiliation agreements to distributors representing 6% of its U.S. distribution, and short-term, rolling 90 day letters of extension, to distributors who represent approximately 22% of its U.S. distribution. Some of QVC’s international programming may continue to be carried by distributors after the expiration dates on its affiliation agreements with them have passed. QVC may be unable to obtain renewals with its current distributors on acceptable terms, if at all. QVC may also be unable to successfully negotiate affiliation agreements with new or existing distributors to carry its programming. Although QVC considers its current levels of distribution without written agreement to be ordinary course, the failure to successfully renew or negotiate new affiliation agreements covering a material portion of television households could result in a discontinuation of carriage that may adversely affect its viewership, growth, net revenue and earnings and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operation.

Our programming and online commerce businesses depend on their relationships with third party suppliers and vendors and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our results of operation and those attributed to any of our groups. An important component of the success of our programming and online commerce businesses is their ability to maintain their existing, as well as build new, relationships with a limited number of local and foreign suppliers and vendors, among other

I-17

parties. There can be no assurance that our subsidiaries and business affiliates will be able to maintain their existing supplier or vendor arrangements on commercially reasonable terms or at all or, with respect to goods sourced from foreign markets, if the supply costs will remain stable. In addition, our subsidiaries and business affiliates cannot guarantee that goods produced and delivered by third parties will meet applicable quality standards, which is impacted by a number of factors, some which are not within the control of these parties. Adverse changes in existing relationships or the inability to enter into new arrangements with these parties on favorable terms, if at all, could cause a failure to meet customer expectations and timely delivery of products, which could in turn have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and those attributed to our groups.

Our businesses attributed to each group are subject to risks of adverse government regulation. Our programming businesses, such as QVC and HSN, market and provide a broad range of merchandise through television shopping programs and proprietary websites. Similarly, our online commerce businesses, such as TripAdvisor and the e-commerce companies, market and provide a broad range of merchandise and/or services through their proprietary websites. As a result, these businesses are subject to a wide variety of statutes, rules, regulations, policies and procedures in various jurisdictions, including foreign jurisdictions, which are subject to change at any time, including laws regarding consumer protection, privacy, the regulation of retailers generally, the license requirements for television retailers in foreign jurisdictions, the importation, sale and promotion of merchandise and the operation of retail stores and warehouse facilities, as well as laws and regulations applicable to the internet and businesses engaged in online commerce, such as those regulating the sending of unsolicited, commercial electronic mail. The failure by our businesses to comply with these laws and regulations could result in a revocation of required licenses, fines and/or proceedings by governmental agencies and/or consumers, which could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, unfavorable changes in the laws, rules and regulations applicable to our businesses could decrease demand for our products and services, increase costs and/or subject our businesses to additional liabilities. Similarly, new disclosure and reporting requirements, established under existing or new state or federal laws, such as regulatory rules regarding requirements to disclose efforts to identify the origin and existence of certain “conflict minerals” or abusive labor practices in portions of QVC’s supply chain, could increase the cost of doing business, adversely affecting our results of operations. In addition, certain of these regulations may impact the marketing efforts of our brands and businesses.

As mentioned above, the manner in which certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates sell and promote merchandise and related claims and representations made in connection with these efforts is regulated by federal, state and local law, as well as the laws of the foreign countries in which they operate. Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates may be exposed to potential liability from claims by purchasers or from regulators and law enforcement agencies, including, but not limited to, claims for personal injury, wrongful death and damage to personal property relating to merchandise sold and misrepresentation of merchandise features and benefits. In certain instances, these subsidiaries and business affiliates have the right to seek indemnification for related liabilities from their respective vendors and may require such vendors to carry minimum levels of product liability and errors and omissions insurance. These vendors, however, may be unable to satisfy indemnification claims, obtain suitable coverage or maintain this coverage on acceptable terms, or insurance may provide inadequate coverage or be unavailable with respect to a particular claim.

In addition, programming services, cable television systems, the Internet, telephony services and satellite service providers are subject to varying degrees of regulation in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission and other entities and in foreign countries by similar regulators. Such regulation and legislation are subject to the political process and have been in constant flux over the past decade. The application of various sales and use tax provisions under state, local and foreign law to the products and services of our subsidiaries and certain of our business affiliates sold via the Internet, television and telephone is subject to interpretation by the applicable taxing authorities, and no assurance can be given that such authorities will not take a contrary position to that taken by our subsidiaries and certain of our business affiliates, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses. In addition, there have been numerous attempts at the federal, state and local levels to impose additional taxes on online commerce transactions. Moreover, most foreign countries in which our subsidiaries or business affiliates have, or may in the future make, an investment regulate, in varying degrees, the distribution, content and ownership of programming services and foreign investment in programming companies and the Internet.

In addition, certain of our businesses are subject to consent decrees issued by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) barring them from making deceptive claims for specified weight-loss products and dietary supplements and prohibiting them from making certain claims about specified weight-loss, dietary supplement and anti-cellulite products unless they have competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate such claims. Violation of these consent decrees may result in the imposition of significant civil penalties for non-compliance and related redress to consumers and/or the issuance of an injunction enjoining these businesses

I-18

from engaging in prohibited activities. Further material changes in the law and increased regulatory requirements must be anticipated, and there can be no assurance that the businesses and assets attributed to each group will not become subject to increased expenses or more stringent restrictions as a result of any future legislation, new regulation or deregulation.

Weak economic conditions worldwide may reduce consumer demand for our products and services. The prolonged economic uncertainty in various regions of the world in which our subsidiaries and affiliates operate could adversely affect demand for our products and services since a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Global financial markets continue to experience disruptions, including increased volatility and diminished liquidity and credit availability. The world has experienced a global macroeconomic downturn, and if economic and financial market conditions in the U.S. or other key markets, including Japan and Europe, remain uncertain, persist, or deteriorate further, customers of our subsidiaries and affiliates may respond by suspending, delaying, or reducing their discretionary spending. A suspension, delay or reduction in discretionary spending could adversely affect revenue across each of our tracking stock groups. Accordingly, our ability to increase or maintain revenue and earnings could be adversely affected to the extent that relevant economic environments remain weak or decline further. Such weak economic conditions may also inhibit the expansion of our subsidiaries and affiliates into new European and other markets. We currently are unable to predict the extent of any of these potential adverse effects.

Rapid technological advances could render the products and services offered by our subsidiaries and our business affiliates attributed to our Interactive Group and our Ventures Group obsolete or non-competitive. Our subsidiaries and business affiliates attributed to each group must stay abreast of rapidly evolving technological developments and offerings to remain competitive and increase the utility of their services. As their operations grow in size and scope, our subsidiaries and business affiliates must continuously improve and upgrade their systems and infrastructure while maintaining or improving the reliability and integrity of their systems and infrastructure. These subsidiaries and business affiliates must be able to incorporate new technologies into their products and services in order to address the needs of their customers. The emergence of alternative platforms such as mobile and tablet computing devices and the emergence of niche competitors who may be able to optimize products, services or strategies for such platforms will require new investment in technology. New developments in other areas, such as cloud computing, could also make it easier for competition to enter their markets due to lower up-front technology costs. There can be no assurance that our subsidiaries and business affiliates will be able to compete with advancing technology or be able to maintain existing systems or replace or introduce new technologies and systems as quickly as they would like or in a cost-effective manner, and any failure to do so could result in customers seeking alternative service providers and may adversely affect the group to which they are attributed, thereby adversely impacting our revenue and operating income.

Our subsidiaries and business affiliates attributed to each of our Interactive and Ventures Groups conduct their businesses under highly competitive conditions. Although QVC and HSN are two of the nation’s largest home shopping networks, they and the e-commerce businesses attributed to the Interactive Group have numerous and varied competitors at the national and local levels, ranging from large department stores to specialty shops, electronic retailers, direct marketing retailers, wholesale clubs, discount retailers, infomercial retailers, internet retailers, and mail-order and catalog companies. In addition, QVC competes with HSN as well as other televised shopping retailers, such as ShopHQ in the U.S., Shop Channel in Japan, HSE 24 in Germany and Ideal World in the United Kingdom. QVC also competes for access to customers and audience share with other providers of televised, online and hard copy entertainment and content.

Similarly, TripAdvisor and Expedia, our online travel-oriented businesses, face significant competition from travel agencies (both bricks-and-mortar and online) as well as from travel destination sites and Internet search portals. If any of the large search engines or online travel agencies chose to compete more directly with TripAdvisor in the travel review space, TripAdvisor may face loss of business or other adverse financial consequences since those entities generally possess significantly greater financial resources and brand recognition.

Competition is characterized by many factors, including assortment, advertising, price, quality, service, accessibility, site functionality, reputation and credit availability, as well as the financial, technical and marketing expertise of competitors. For example, many of our businesses’ competitors have greater resources, longer histories, more customers and greater brand recognition than our businesses do, and competitors may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing, offer free or subsidized shipping and devote more resources to technology, fulfillment and marketing. For example, Provide Commerce competes with well-known online floral providers such as 1-800-FLOWERS and floral wire services such as FTD and Teleflora, as well as local bricks-and-mortar florists, Bodybuilding.com competes with retailers such as GNC, and Backcountry.com competes

I-19

with retailers such as REI, which have both online and bricks-and-mortar operations. Other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.

If our subsidiaries and business affiliates do not compete effectively with regard to these factors, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The sales and operating results of the businesses attributed to our Interactive Group depend on their ability to attract new customers, retain existing customers and predict or respond to consumer preferences. In an effort to attract and retain customers, these businesses engage in various merchandising and marketing initiatives, which involve the expenditure of money and resources. These initiatives, however, may not resonate with existing customers or consumers generally or may not be cost-effective. In addition, costs associated with the production and distribution of television programming (in the case of QVC and HSN) and costs associated with online marketing, including search engine marketing (primarily the purchase of relevant keywords) have increased and are likely to continue to increase in the foreseeable future and, if significant, could have a material adverse effect to the extent that they do not result in corresponding increases in net revenue. These companies also continuously develop new retail concepts and adjust their product mix in an effort to satisfy customer demands. Any sustained failure to identify and respond to emerging trends in lifestyle and consumer preferences could have a material adverse effect on the businesses of these subsidiaries and business affiliates. Consumer spending may be affected by many factors outside of their control, including competition from store-based retailers, mail-order and third-party Internet companies, consumer confidence and preferences, and general economic conditions.

The failure of our subsidiary QVC and our business affiliate HSN to maintain suitable placement for their respective programming could adversely affect their ability to attract and retain television viewers and could result in a decrease in revenue. QVC and HSN are dependent upon the continued ability of their programming to compete for viewers. Effectively competing for television viewers is dependent, in substantial part, on their ability to negotiate and maintain placement of their programming at a favorable channel position, such as in a basic tier or within a general entertainment or general broadcasting tier. The advent of digital compression technologies and the adoption of digital cable have resulted in increased channel capacity, which together with other changing laws, rules and regulations regarding cable television ownership, impacts the ability of both QVC and HSN to negotiate and maintain suitable channel placement with their respective distributors. Increased channel capacity could adversely affect the ability to attract television viewers to QVC’s or HSN’s programming to the extent it results in a less favorable channel position for their respective programming, such as placement adjacent to programming that does not compliment their respective programming, a position next to their respective televised home shopping competitors or isolation in a "shopping" tier, more competitors entering the marketplace, or more programming options being available to the viewing public in the form of new television networks and timeshifted viewing (e.g., personal video recorders, video-on-demand, interactive television and streaming video over Internet connections). In addition, if QVC’s or HSN’s programming is carried exclusively by a distributor on a digital programming tier, QVC or HSN may experience a reduction in revenue to the extent that the digital programming tier has less television viewer penetration than the basic or expanded basic programming tier. QVC and HSN may experience a further reduction in revenue due to increased television viewing audience fragmentation to the extent that not all television sets within a digital cable home are equipped to receive television programming in a digital format. The future success of each of QVC and HSN will depend, in part, on their ability to anticipate and adapt to technological changes and to offer elements of their respective programming via new technologies in a cost-effective manner that meets customer demands and evolving industry standards.

Any continued or permanent inability of QVC or HSN to transmit their programming via satellite would result in lost revenue and could result in lost customers. The success of our subsidiary QVC and our business affiliate HSN is dependent upon their continued ability to transmit their respective programming to television providers from their respective satellite uplink facilities, which transmissions are subject to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) compliance in the U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements in QVC’s and HSN’s international operations. In most cases, each of QVC and HSN has entered into long-term satellite transponder leases to provide for continued carriage of its programming on replacement transponders and/or replacement satellites, as applicable, in the event of a failure of either the transponders and/or satellites currently carrying its programming. However, QVC does have a transponder service agreement in the United Kingdom that will expire in 2014. Although QVC believes that it takes reasonable and customary measures to ensure continued satellite transmission capability and believes that this international transponder service agreement can be renewed (or replaced, if necessary) in the ordinary course of business, termination or interruption of satellite transmissions may occur, particularly if QVC is not able to successfully negotiate renewals or replacements of any of this or any other expiring transponder service agreement in the future. Although QVC considers the transponder service agreement that is expiring in 2014 to be in the ordinary course, the failure to successfully renew or negotiate

I-20

a new transmission agreement that results in an inability to transmit its programming would result in lost revenue and could result in lost customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

System interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in the systems and infrastructures of our subsidiaries QVC and TripAdvisor, our business affilate HSN and our other online commerce businesses may adversely affect their ability to, as applicable, operate their businesses, transmit their television programs, operate websites, process ad fulfill transactions, respond to customer inquiries and generally maintain cost-efficient operations. The success of our subsidiaries and business affiliates depends, in part, on their ability to maintain the integrity of their transmissions, systems and infrastructures, including the transmission of television programs (in the case of QVC and HSN), as well as the integrity of their websites, information and related systems developed for the delivery of content and services, call centers and fulfillment facilities. These subsidiaries and business affiliates may experience occasional system interruptions that make some or all transmissions, systems or data unavailable or prevent them from transmitting their signals or efficiently providing services or fulfilling orders, as the case may be. QVC is in the process of implementing new technology systems and upgrading others. The failure to properly implement new systems or delays in implementing new systems could impair the ability of our subsidiaries and business affiliates to provide services and content and/or process transactions. QVC and HSN also rely on affiliate and third-party computer systems, broadband, transmission and other communications systems and service providers in connection with the transmission of their respective signals, as well as to facilitate, process and fulfill transactions. Any interruptions, outages or delays in their signal transmissions, systems and infrastructures, or any deterioration in the performance of these transmissions, systems and infrastructures, could impair their ability to provide services, fulfill orders and/or process transactions. Fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God and similar events or disruptions may damage or interrupt television transmissions, computer, broadband or other communications systems and infrastructures at any time. Any of these events could cause transmission or system interruption, delays and loss of critical data, and could prevent our subsidiaries and business affiliates from providing services, fulfilling orders and/or processing transactions. While our subsidiaries and business affiliates have backup systems for certain aspects of their operations, these systems are not fully redundant and disaster recovery planning is not sufficient for all possible risks. In addition, some of our subsidiaries and business affiliates may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate for losses from a major interruption.

The processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data by our home television and online commerce businesses could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights. In the processing of consumer transactions, home television and online commerce businesses receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other user data. The sharing, use, disclosure and protection of this information is governed by the privacy and data security policies maintained by these businesses. Moreover, there are federal, state and international laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and user data. Specifically, personally identifiable information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. The failure of these businesses and/or the failure by any of the various third party vendors and service providers with which they do business, to comply with applicable privacy policies or federal, state or similar international laws and regulations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information or other user data, could damage their reputation and the reputation of their third party vendors and service providers, discourage potential users from trying their products and services and/or result in fines and/or proceedings brought by governmental agencies and/or consumers, any one or all of which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of these businesses and, as a result, our company.

Our home television and online commerce businesses are subject to security risks, including security breaches and identity theft. In order to succeed, our home television and online commerce businesses must be able to provide for secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Any penetration of network security or other misappropriation or misuse of personal consumer information could cause interruptions in the operations of their business and subject them to increased costs, litigation and other liabilities. Security breaches could also significantly damage their reputation with their customers and third parties with whom they do business. These businesses may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against and remedy any potential or existing security breaches and their consequences. They also face risks associated with security breaches affecting third parties with which they are affiliated or otherwise conduct business online. The loss of confidence in our online commerce businesses resulting from any such security breaches or identity theft could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our online commerce businesses and, as a result, our company.

I-21

Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates may fail to adequately protect their intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties. Our subsidiaries and business affiliates regard their respective intellectual property rights, including service marks, trademarks and domain names, copyrights (including their programming and their websites), trade secrets and similar intellectual property, as critical to their success. These businesses also rely heavily upon software codes, informational databases and other components that make up their products and services. From time to time, these businesses are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights of third parties. In addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce the intellectual property rights of these businesses, protect trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of these businesses and in turn our financial condition and results of operations. The failure of these businesses to protect their intellectual property rights, particularly their proprietary brands, in a meaningful manner or third party challenges to related contractual rights could result in erosion of brand names and limit the ability of these businesses to control marketing on or through the internet using their various domain names, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of these businesses as well as the financial condition and results of operations of our company.

Our home television and online commerce businesses rely on independent shipping companies to deliver the products they sell. Our home television and online commerce businesses rely on third party carriers to deliver merchandise from vendors and manufacturers to them and to ship merchandise to their customers. As a result, they are subject to carrier disruptions and delays due to factors that are beyond their control, including employee strikes, inclement weather and regulation and enforcement actions by customs agencies. Any failure to deliver products to their customers in a timely and accurate manner may damage their reputation and brand and could cause them to lose customers. Enforcement actions by customs agencies can also cause the costs of imported goods to increase, negatively affecting profits. These businesses are also impacted by increases in shipping rates charged by third party carriers, which over the past few years have increased significantly in comparison to historical levels and it is currently expected that shipping and postal rates will continue to increase. In the case of deliveries to customers, in each market where we operate, we have negotiated agreements with one or more independent, third party shipping companies, which in certain circumstances provide for favorable shipping rates. If any of these relationships were to terminate or if a shipping company was unable to fulfill its obligations under its contract for any reason, these businesses would have to work with other shipping companies to deliver merchandise to customers, which would most likely be at less favorable rates. Other potential adverse consequences of changing carriers include reduced visibility of order status and package tracking, delays in order processing and product delivery, and reduced shipment quality, which may result in damaged products and customer dissatisfaction. Any increase in shipping rates and related fuel and other surcharges passed on to these business by their current carriers or any other shipping company would adversely impact profits, given that these businesses may not be able to pass these increased costs directly to customers or offset them by increasing prices without a detrimental effect on customer demand.

The seasonality of certain of our businesses places increased strain on their operations. The net revenue of our home television and online commerce businesses in recent years indicates that these businesses are seasonal due to a higher volume of sales in certain months or calendar quarters or related to particular holiday shopping. For example, in recent years, QVC has earned, on average, between 22% and 23% of its global revenue in each of the first three quarters of the year and 32% of its global revenue in the fourth quarter of the year. Similarly, our subsidiary Backcountry earns approximately 40% of its revenue in the fourth quarter, our subsidiary Provide experiences higher sales around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day due to the purchases of flowers and other gifts, our subsidiary Bodybuilding experiences a busier first quarter as people start to implement New Year’s resolutions toward health and fitness, and our subsidiary Celebrate earns approximately half of its revenue from the sale of costumes in September and October leading up to Halloween. If the vendors for these businesses are not able to provide popular products in sufficient amounts such that these businesses fail to meet customer demand, it could significantly affect their revenue and future growth. If too many customers access the websites of these businesses within a short period of time due to increased demand, our businesses may experience system interruptions that make their websites unavailable or prevent them from efficiently fulfilling orders, which may reduce the volume of goods they sell and the attractiveness of their products and services. In addition, they may be unable to adequately staff their fulfillment and customer service centers during these peak periods and delivery and other third party shipping (or carrier) companies may be unable to meet the seasonal demand. To the extent these businesses pay for holiday merchandise in advance of certain holidays (e.g., in the case of QVC, in August through November of each year), their available cash may decrease, resulting in less liquidity.

I-22

The failure of our subsidiary QVC to effectively manage its Easy-Pay and revolving credit card programs could result in less income. QVC offers Easy-Pay in the U.S. and U.K. (known as Q Pay in Germany), a payment plan that, when offered by QVC, allows customers to pay for certain merchandise in two or more monthly installments. We cannot predict whether customers will pay all of their Easy-Pay installments. In addition, QVC-U.S. has an agreement with a large consumer financial institution (the “Bank”) pursuant to which the Bank provides revolving credit directly to QVC’s customers for the sole purpose of purchasing merchandise from QVC with a QVC branded credit card (“Q Card”). QVC receives a portion of the net economics of the credit card program according to percentages that vary with the performance of the portfolio. We cannot predict the extent to which QVC’s customers will use the Q Card, nor the extent that they will make payments on their outstanding balances.

The success of our home television and online commerce businesses depends in large part on their ability to recruit and retain key personnel capable of executing their unique business models. QVC and HSN, as well as our e-commerce subsidiaries have business models that require them to recruit and retain key employees, including management, with the skills necessary for a unique business that demands knowledge of the general retail industry, television production, direct to consumer marketing and fulfillment and the Internet. We cannot assure you that if QVC, HSN or our e-commerce subsidiaries experience turnover of these key employees they will be able to recruit and retain acceptable replacements because the market for such employees is very competitive and limited.

Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates have operations outside of the United States that are subject to numerous operational and financial risks. Certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates have operations in countries other than the United States that are subject to the following risks inherent in international operations:


•	fluctuations in currency exchange rates;


•	longer payment cycles for sales in foreign countries that may increase the uncertainty associated with recoverable accounts;


•	recessionary conditions and economic instability, including fiscal policies that are implementing austerity measures in certain countries, which are affecting overseas markets;


•	limited ability to repatriate funds to the U.S. at favorable tax rates;


•	potentially adverse tax consequences;


•	export and import restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;


•	increases in taxes and governmental royalties and fees;


•	changes in foreign and U.S. laws, regulations and policies that govern operations of foreign-based companies;


•	changes to general consumer protection laws and regulations;


•	involuntary renegotiation of contracts with foreign governments;


•	foreign and domestic regulations, laws and policies that govern operations of foreign-based companies;


•	difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and


•	political unrest that may result in disruption of services critical to international businesses.

Moreover, in many foreign countries, particularly in certain developing economies, it is not uncommon to encounter business practices that are prohibited by certain regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws. Although certain of our subsidiaries and business affiliates have undertaken compliance efforts with respect to these laws, their respective employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which they outsource certain of their business operations, may take actions in violation of their policies and procedures. Any such violation, even if prohibited by the policies and procedures of these subsidiaries and business affiliates or the law, could have certain adverse effects on the financial condition of these subsidiaries

I-23

and business affiliates. Any failure by these subsidiaries and business affiliates to effectively manage the challenges associated with the international operation of their businesses could materially adversely affect their, and hence our, financial condition.

Our subsidiary TripAdvisor derives substantially all of its revenue, and to a lesser extent, certain of our other online commerce businesses derive a substantial portion of their revenues, from advertising and any significant reduction in spending by advertisers could harm these businesses. Most of the advertisers doing business with our online commerce businesses can generally terminate their contracts with these businesses at any time or on very short notice and will not continue to do business if their investment in such advertising does not generate sales leads, customers or revenue and profit on a cost-effective basis, or if our online commerce businesses do not deliver advertisements in an appropriate and effective manner. If our online commerce businesses are is unable to remain competitive and provide value to their advertisers, these advertisers will likely stop placing ads on their websites, which would harm revenues and business. Our online commerce businesses cannot guarantee that their current advertisers will fulfill their obligations under existing contracts, continue to advertise beyond the terms of existing contracts or enter into any new contracts. Expenditures by advertisers also tend to be cyclical, subject to variation based on budgetary constraints, project cancellation or delay, and to reflect overall economic conditions and buying patterns. If our online commerce businesses are unable to generate advertising revenue due to factors outside of their control, their business and financial performance could be adversely affected. TripAdvisor, for example, derives a substantial portion of its revenue from a relatively small number of significant advertisers, and if any of these advertisers were to cease or significantly curtail advertising on TripAdvisor’s websites, TripAdvisor would experience a rapid decline in revenues over a relatively short period of time. In addition, if new, more effective advertising models were to emerge, there can be no assurance that our online commerce businesses will have the ability to offer these models, or offer them in an effective manner. To the extent new technology platforms, such as smartphone and tablet computing, begin to take market share from established platforms, there can be no assurance that our online commerce businesses’ existing advertising models will operate successfully on these new platforms, or work as effectively as on the desktop computer platform.

If certain of our online commerce subsidiaries are unable to continue to increase visitors to their websites and to cost-effectively convert these visitors into repeat consumers or contributors, their advertising revenue could decline. The primary asset that certain of our online commerce businesses use to attract traffic to their websites and convert these visitors into repeat users is the content created by users of these websites, particularly such content's volume, unique nature and organization. Their success in attracting users depends, in part, upon their continued ability to collect, create, organize and distribute high-quality, commercially valuable content in a cost-effective manner at a scale that connects consumers with content that meets their specific interests and enables them to share and interact with the content and supporting communities. There can be no assurances that certain of our online commerce businesses will continue to receive content in a cost-effective manner or in a manner that timely meets rapidly changing consumer demand, if at all. Any failure to obtain such content could adversely affect consumer experiences and reduce traffic driven to their websites, which would make their websites less attractive to advertisers. Any change in the cost structure pursuant to which these online commerce businesses obtain their content currently or in users’ relative appreciation of their content could negatively impact the business and financial performance of these online commerce businesses.

Our online commerce businesses could be negatively affected by changes in search engine algorithms and dynamics, or search engine disintermediation as well as their inability to monetize the resulting website traffic. The success of our online commerce businesses depends on a high degree of website traffic, which is dependent on many factors, including the availability of appealing website content, user loyalty and new user generation from search portals that charge a fee (such as Google). In obtaining a significant amount of website traffic via search engines, they utilize techniques such as search engine optimization, or SEO (which is the practice of developing websites with relevant and current content that rank well in “organic,” or unpaid, search engine results) and search engine marketing, or SEM (which is a form of Internet marketing that involves the promotion of websites by increasing their visibility in search engine results pages through the use of paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion) to improve their placement in relevant search queries. Search engines, including Google, frequently update and change the logic that determines the placement and display of results of a user’s search, such that the purchased or algorithmic placement of links to the websites of our online commerce businesses can be negatively affected. Moreover, a search engine could, for competitive or other purposes, alter its search algorithms or results causing their websites to place lower in search query results. If a major search engine changes its algorithms in a manner that negatively affects their paid or unpaid search ranking, or if competitive dynamics impact the effectiveness of SEO or SEM in a negative manner, the business and financial performance of our online commerce businesses would be adversely affected, potentially to a material extent. Furthermore, the failure of our online commerce businesses to successfully manage their SEO and SEM strategies could result in a substantial decrease in traffic to their websites, as well as increased costs if they were to replace free traffic with paid traffic. Even if our online commerce businesses are successful in generating a high level of website traffic, no assurance can be given that our online commerce businesses will

I-24

be successful in achieving repeat user loyalty or that new visitors will explore the offerings on their sites. Monetizing this traffic by converting users to consumers is dependent on many factors, including availability of inventory, consumer preferences, price, ease of use and website quality. No assurance can be given that the fees paid to search portals may exceed the revenue generated by their visitors. Any failure to sustain user traffic or to monetize such traffic could materially adversely affect the financial performance of our online commerce businesses and, as a result, adversely affect our financial results.

Our online commerce businesses, including TripAdvisor and Expedia, may experience difficulty in achieving the successful development, implementation and customer acceptance of, and a viable advertising market via, applications for smartphone and tablet computing devices, which could harm their business. Although our online commerce businesses have developed services and applications to address user and consumer interaction with website content on smartphone and other non-traditional desktop or laptop computer system (which typically have smaller screens and less convenient typing capabilities), the efficacy of the smartphone application and its advertising market is still developing. Moreover, if smartphone computing services prove to be less effective for the users of our online commerce businesses or less economically attractive for advertisers and the smartphone segment of Internet traffic grows at the expense of traditional computer and tablet Internet access, our online commerce businesses may experience difficulty attracting and retaining traffic and, in turn, advertisers, on these platforms. Additionally, as new devices and new platforms are continually being released, it is difficult to predict the challenges that may be encountered in developing versions of our online commerce businesses’ offerings for use on these alternative devices, and our online commerce businesses may need to devote significant resources to the creation, support, and maintenance of their services on such devices. To the extent that revenue generated from advertising placed on smartphone computing devices becomes increasingly more important to their businesses and they fail to adequately evolve and address this market, their business and financial performance could be negatively impacted. In addition, growth in the use of smartphone products as a substitute for use on personal computers and tablets may adversely impact revenue derived from advertising, as many of the processes used for smartphone advertising and related monetization strategies are still in development.

Two of our subsidiaries, QVC and TripAdvisor, have significant indebtedness, which could limit their flexibility to respond to current market conditions, restrict their business activities and adversely affect their financial condition. As of December 31, 2013, QVC had total debt of approximately $3.8 billion outstanding and an additional $1.1 billion available for borrowing under its senior secured credit facility as of that date, while TripAdvisor had total debt of approximately $369 million outstanding and an additional $200 million available for borrowing under its credit facility as of that date. Each of QVC and TripAdvisor may incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. The indebtedness of QVC and TripAdvisor, combined with other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have important consequences to their respective businesses and financial conditions, including:


•	increased vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions


•	dedicating a substantial portion of their cash flow from operations to principal and interest payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments and other general corporate purposes;


•	limited flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in their businesses and the markets in which they operate;


•	competitively disadvantaging these companies compared with competitors that have less debt;


•	limiting the ability of these companies to borrow additional funds or to borrow funds at rates or on other terms that they find acceptable; and


•	in the case of QVC, exposing QVC to the risk of increased interest rates because certain of QVC’s borrowings, including borrowings under its credit facility, are at variable interest rates.

In addition, it is possible that QVC and TripAdvisor may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future in the ordinary course of business. If new debt is added to their respective current debt levels, the risks described above could intensify. If these subsidiaries experience adverse effects on their financial condition as a result of their indebtedness, our financial performance could be adversely affected as well.

I-25

We do not have the right to manage our business affiliates attributed to either our Interactive Group or our Ventures Group, which means we are not able to cause those affiliates to act in a manner that we deem desirable. We do not have the right to manage the businesses or affairs of any of our business affiliates (generally those companies in which we have less than a majority voting stake or with respect to which we have provided a proxy over our voting power to a third party) attributed to our Ventures Group, including Expedia, or our business affiliate HSN, which is attributed to our Interactive Group. Rather, our rights may take the form of representation on the board of directors or a partners' or similar committee that supervises management or possession of veto rights over significant or extraordinary actions. The scope of our veto rights varies from agreement to agreement. Although our board representation and veto rights may enable us to exercise influence over the management or policies of a business affiliate, enable us to prevent the sale of material assets by a business affiliate in which we own less than a majority voting interest or prevent us from paying dividends or making distributions to our stockholders or partners, they will not enable us to cause these actions to be taken as these companies are business affiliates in which we own a partial interest.

We have overlapping directors and management with LMC and our President is the Chairman of the Board of Starz, which may lead to conflicting interests. As a result of the LMC Split-Off and Starz’s spin-off of LMC in January 2013, most of the executive officers of Liberty also serve as executive officers of LMC, and there is significant board overlap between Liberty and LMC. John C. Malone is the Chairman of the Board of Liberty and LMC. Gregory B. Maffei is the Chief Executive Officer of our company and LMC and serves on the boards of directors of each of our company, LMC and Starz, where he serves as the Chairman of the Board of Starz. None of Liberty, LMC or Starz has any ownership interest in any of the others. Our executive officers and the members of our company’s board of directors have fiduciary duties to our stockholders. Likewise, any such persons who serve in similar capacities at LMC or Starz have fiduciary duties to that company’s stockholders. Therefore, such persons may have conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting more than one of the companies to which they owe fiduciary duties. For example, there may be the potential for a conflict of interest when our company or LMC looks at acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be suitable for each of them. Moreover, most of our company's directors and officers continue to own Starz and LMC stock and options to purchase Starz stock and LMC stock. These ownership interests could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when the applicable individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for our company, Starz and/or LMC. Any potential conflict that qualifies as a "related party transaction" (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) is subject to review by an independent committee of the applicable issuer's board of directors in accordance with its corporate governance guidelines. Any other potential conflicts that arise will be addressed on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind the applicable fiduciary duties owed by the executive officers and directors of each issuer. From time to time, we may enter into transactions with LMC or Starz and/or their subsidiaries or other affiliates. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to our company, Starz, LMC or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping officer or director.

We may compete with Starz for business opportunities. Starz owns and operates programming services that may compete with the programming services offered by our subsidiary QVC and business affiliate HSN. Each of QVC, HSN and Starz produce programming that is distributed via cable and satellite networks. We have no rights in respect of programming or distribution opportunities developed by or presented to Starz and the pursuit of these opportunities by Starz may adversely affect our interests or those of our stockholders. Because Mr. Maffei is our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Starz, a business opportunity that is presented to him may result in a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Each of our directors and officers has a fiduciary duty to offer to our company any business opportunity that he or she may be presented in which we have an interest or expectancy. The directors and officers of other issuers, including those who are also our directors and officers, owe the same fiduciary duty to such other issuers and their respective stockholders.

The liquidity and value of our public investments may be affected by market conditions beyond our control that could cause us to record losses for declines in their market value. Included among our assets are equity interests in publicly-traded companies that are not consolidated subsidiaries. The value of these interests may be affected by economic and market conditions that are beyond our control. In addition, our ability to liquidate or otherwise monetize these interests without adversely affecting their value may be limited.

A substantial portion of our consolidated debt attributed to each group is held above the operating subsidiary level, and we could be unable in the future to obtain cash in amounts sufficient to service that debt and our other financial obligations. As of December 31, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary Liberty Interactive LLC (“Liberty LLC”) had $3,282 million principal amount of publicly-traded debt outstanding. Liberty LLC is a holding company for all of our subsidiaries and investments. Our

I-26

ability to meet the financial obligations of Liberty LLC and our other financial obligations will depend on our ability to access cash. Our sources of cash include our available cash balances, net cash from operating activities, dividends and interest from our investments, availability under credit facilities at the operating subsidiary level, monetization of our public investment portfolio and proceeds from asset sales. There are no assurances that we will maintain the amounts of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities that we maintained over the past few years. The ability of our operating subsidiaries, including QVC, to pay dividends or to make other payments or advances to us or Liberty LLC depends on their individual operating results, any statutory, regulatory or contractual restrictions to which they may be or may become subject and the terms of their own indebtedness, including QVC’s credit facility and bond indentures. The agreements governing such indebtedness restrict sales of assets and prohibit or limit the payment of dividends or the making of distributions, loans or advances to stockholders and partners. Neither we nor Liberty LLC will generally receive cash, in the form of dividends, loans, advances or otherwise, from our business affiliates. See “-We do not have the right to manage our business affiliates attributed to either our Interactive Group or our Ventures Group, which means we are not able to cause those affiliates to act in a manner that we deem desirable” above.

We have disposed of certain of the reference shares underlying the exchangeable debentures of Liberty LLC attributed to our Ventures Group, which exposes us to liquidity risk. Liberty LLC currently has outstanding multiple tranches of exchangeable debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,491 million as of December 31, 2013. Under the terms of these exchangeable debentures, which are attributed to our Ventures Group (other than the 1% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2043, which are attributed to the Interactive Group), the holders may elect to require Liberty LLC to exchange the debentures for the value of a specified number of the underlying reference shares, which Liberty LLC may honor through delivery of reference shares, cash or a combination thereof. Also, Liberty LLC is required to distribute to the holders of its exchangeable debentures any cash, securities (other than publicly traded securities, which would themselves become reference shares) or other payments made by the issuer of the reference shares in respect of those shares. The principal amount of the debentures will be reduced by the amount of any such required distributions other than regular cash dividends. As Liberty LLC has disposed of some of the reference shares underlying certain of these exchangeable debentures, any exercise of the exchange right by, or required distribution of cash, securities or other payments to, holders of such debentures will require that Liberty LLC fund the required payments from its own resources, which will depend on the availability of cash or other sources of liquidity to Liberty LLC at that time. Additionally, in the event all reference shares underlying a series of exchangeable debentures are liquidated or otherwise cease to be outstanding without replacement, there is a possibility that the treatment of tax matters associated with that series could change. This may include acceleration of tax liabilities that are recorded as deferred tax liabilities in our financial statements, in amounts that would be significant.

Risks Relating to the Ownership of Our Common Stock due to our Tracking Stock Capitalization

Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock are common stockholders of our company and are, therefore, subject to risks associated with an investment in our company as a whole, even if a holder does not own shares of common stock of both of our groups. Even though we have attributed, for financial reporting purposes, all of our consolidated assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to either the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group in order to prepare the separate financial statement schedules for each of those groups, we retain legal title to all of our assets and our capitalization does not limit our legal responsibility, or that of our subsidiaries, for the liabilities included in any set of financial statement schedules. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock do not have any legal rights related to specific assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group and, in any liquidation, holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and holders of Liberty Ventures common stock will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of our available net assets based on their respective numbers of liquidation units.

Our board of directors' ability to reattribute businesses, assets and expenses between tracking stock groups may make it difficult to assess the future prospects of either tracking stock group based on its past performance. Our board of directors is vested with discretion to reattribute businesses, assets and liabilities that are attributed to one tracking stock group to the other tracking stock group, without the approval of any of our stockholders. Any such reattribution made by our board, as well as the existence of the right in and of itself to effect a reattribution, may impact the ability of investors to assess the future prospects of either tracking stock group, including its liquidity and capital resource needs, based on its past performance. Stockholders may also have difficulty evaluating the liquidity and capital resources of each group based on past performance, as our board of directors may use one group's liquidity to fund the other group's liquidity and capital expenditure requirements through the use of inter-group loans and inter-group interests.

I-27

We could be required to use assets attributed to one group to pay liabilities attributed to the other group. The assets attributed to one group are potentially subject to the liabilities attributed to the other group, even if those liabilities arise from lawsuits, contracts or indebtedness that are attributed to such other group. While our current management and allocation policies provide that reattributions of assets between groups will result in the creation of an inter-group loan or an inter-group interest or an offsetting reattribution of cash or other assets, no provision of our restated charter prevents us from satisfying liabilities of one group with assets of the other group, and our creditors are not in any way limited by our tracking stock capitalization from proceeding against any assets they could have proceeded against if we did not have a tracking stock capitalization.

The market price of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may not reflect the performance of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively, as we intend. We cannot assure you that the market price of the common stock of a group, in fact, will reflect the performance of the group of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to that group. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock are common stockholders of our company as a whole and, as such, will be subject to all risks associated with an investment in our company and all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. As a result, the market price of each series of stock of a group may simply reflect the performance of our company as a whole or may more independently reflect the performance of some or all of the group of assets attributed to such group. In addition, investors may discount the value of the stock of a group because it is part of a common enterprise rather than a stand-alone entity.

The market price of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may be volatile, could fluctuate substantially and could be affected by factors that do not affect traditional common stock. The market prices of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may be materially affected by, among other things:


•	actual or anticipated fluctuations in a group's operating results or in the operating results of particular companies attributable to such group;


•	potential acquisition activity by our company, our subsidiaries or our business affiliates;


•	issuances of debt or equity securities to raise capital by our company, our subsidiaries or our business affiliates and the manner in which that debt or the proceeds of an equity issuance are attributed to each of the groups;


•	changes in financial estimates by securities analysts regarding Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock or the companies attributable to either of our tracking stock groups;


•	the complex nature and the potential difficulties investors may have in understanding the terms of both of our tracking stocks, as well as concerns regarding the possible effect of certain of those terms on an investment in our stock; and


•	general market conditions.

The market value of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock could be adversely affected by events involving the assets and businesses attributed to either of the groups. Because we are the issuer of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, an adverse market reaction to events relating to the assets and businesses attributed to either of our groups, such as earnings announcements or announcements of new products or services, acquisitions or dispositions that the market does not view favorably, may cause an adverse reaction to the common stock of our other group. This could occur even if the triggering event is not material to us as a whole. A certain triggering event may also have a greater impact on one group than the same triggering event would have on the other group due to the asset composition of the affected group. In addition, the incurrence of significant indebtedness by us or any of our subsidiaries on behalf of one group, including indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with acquisitions of or investments in businesses, could affect our credit rating and that of our subsidiaries and, therefore, could increase the borrowing costs of businesses attributable to our other group or the borrowing costs of our company as a whole.

We may not pay dividends equally or at all on Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock. We do not presently intend to pay cash dividends on Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock for the foreseeable future. However, we will have the right to pay dividends on the shares of common stock of each group in equal or unequal amounts, and we may pay dividends on the shares of common stock of one group and not pay dividends on shares of common stock of the other group. In addition, any dividends or distributions on, or repurchases of, shares relating to either group will reduce our assets legally available to be paid as dividends on the shares relating to the other group.

I-28

Our tracking stock capital structure could create conflicts of interest, and our board of directors may make decisions that could adversely affect only some holders of our common stock. Our tracking stock capital structure could give rise to occasions when the interests of holders of stock of one group might diverge or appear to diverge from the interests of holders of stock of the other group. In addition, given the nature of their businesses, there may be inherent conflicts of interests between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group. Our tracking stock groups are not separate entities and thus holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock do not have the right to elect separate boards of directors. As a result, our company's officers and directors owe fiduciary duties to our company as a whole and all of our stockholders as opposed to only holders of a particular group. Decisions deemed to be in the best interest of our company and all of our stockholders may not be in the best interest of a particular group when considered independently. Examples include:


•	decisions as to the terms of any business relationships that may be created between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group or the terms of any reattributions of assets between the groups;


•	decisions as to the allocation of consideration among the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock, or among the series of stocks relating to either of our groups, to be received in connection with a merger involving our company;


•	decisions as to the allocation of corporate opportunities between the groups, especially where the opportunities might meet the strategic business objectives of both groups;


•	decisions as to operational and financial matters that could be considered detrimental to one group but beneficial to the other;


•	decisions as to the conversion of shares of common stock of one group into shares of common stock of the other;


•	decisions regarding the creation of, and, if created, the subsequent increase or decrease of any inter-group interest that one group may own in the other group;


•	decisions as to the internal or external financing attributable to businesses or assets attributed to either of our groups;


•	decisions as to the dispositions of assets of either of our groups; and


•	decisions as to the payment of dividends on the stock relating to either of our groups.

Our directors' or officers' ownership of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock may create or appear to create conflicts of interest. If directors or officers own disproportionate interests (in percentage or value terms) in Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock, that disparity could create or appear to create conflicts of interest when they are faced with decisions that could have different implications for the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock.

Other than pursuant to our management and allocation policies, we have not adopted any specific procedures for consideration of matters involving a divergence of interests among holders of shares of stock relating to our two groups, or among holders of different series of stock relating to a specific group. Rather than develop additional specific procedures in advance, our board of directors intends to exercise its judgment from time to time, depending on the circumstances, as to how best to:


•	obtain information regarding the divergence (or potential divergence) of interests;


•	determine under what circumstances to seek the assistance of outside advisers;


•	determine whether a committee of our board of directors should be appointed to address a specific matter and the appropriate members of that committee; and


•	assess what is in our best interests and the best interests of all of our stockholders.

Our board of directors believes the advantage of retaining flexibility in determining how to fulfill its responsibilities in any such circumstances as they may arise outweighs any perceived advantages of adopting additional specific procedures in advance.

Our board of directors may change the management and allocation policies to the detriment of either group without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has adopted certain management and allocation policies to serve as guidelines in making decisions regarding the relationships between the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group with respect to matters such as tax liabilities and benefits, inter-group loans, inter-group interests, attribution of assets, financing alternatives, corporate opportunities and similar items. These policies also set forth the initial focuses and strategies of these groups and the initial attribution of our businesses, assets and liabilities between them. These policies are not included in the restated charter. Our board of directors may at any time change or make exceptions to these policies. Because these policies relate to matters concerning the

I-29

day-to-day management of our company as opposed to significant corporate actions, such as a merger involving our company or a sale of substantially all of our assets, no stockholder approval is required with respect to their adoption or amendment. A decision to change, or make exceptions to, these policies or adopt additional policies could disadvantage one group while advantaging the other.

Holders of shares of stock relating to a particular group may not have any remedies if any action by our directors or officers has an adverse effect on only that stock, or on a particular series of that stock. Principles of Delaware law and the provisions of our restated charter may protect decisions of our board of directors that have a disparate impact upon holders of shares of stock relating to a particular group, or upon holders of any series of stock relating to a particular group. Under Delaware law, the board of directors has a duty to act with due care and in the best interests of all of our stockholders, regardless of the stock, or series, they hold. Principles of Delaware law established in cases involving differing treatment of multiple classes or series of stock provide that a board of directors owes an equal duty to all stockholders and does not have separate or additional duties to any subset of stockholders. Judicial opinions in Delaware involving tracking stocks have established that decisions by directors or officers involving differing treatment of holders of tracking stocks may be judged under the business judgment rule. In some circumstances, our directors or officers may be required to make a decision that is viewed as adverse to the holders of shares relating to a particular group or to the holders of a particular series of that stock. Under the principles of Delaware law and the business judgment rule referred to above, you may not be able to successfully challenge decisions that you believe have a disparate impact upon the stockholders of one of our groups if a majority of our board of directors is disinterested and independent with respect to the action taken, is adequately informed with respect to the action taken and acts in good faith and in the honest belief that the board is acting in the best interest of Liberty and all of our stockholders.

Stockholders will not vote on how to attribute consideration received in connection with a merger involving our company among holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock. Our restated charter does not contain any provisions governing how consideration received in connection with a merger or consolidation involving our company is to be attributed to the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and holders of Liberty Ventures common stock or to the holders of different series of stock, and none of the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock will have a separate class vote in the event of such a merger or consolidation. Consistent with applicable principles of Delaware law, our board of directors will seek to divide the type and amount of consideration received in a merger or consolidation involving our company among holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock in a fair manner. As the different ways the board of directors may divide the consideration between holders of stock relating to the different groups, and among holders of different series of a particular stock, might have materially different results, the consideration to be received by holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock in any such merger or consolidation may be materially less valuable than the consideration they would have received if they had a separate class vote on such merger or consolidation.

We may dispose of assets of the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group without your approval. Delaware law requires stockholder approval only for a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of our company taken as a whole, and our restated charter does not require a separate class vote in the case of a sale of a significant amount of assets of any of our groups. As long as the assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group proposed to be disposed of represent less than substantially all of our assets, we may approve sales and other dispositions of any amount of the assets of such group without any stockholder approval.

If we dispose of all or substantially all of the assets attributed to any group (which means, for this purpose, assets representing 80% of the fair market value of the total assets of the disposing group, as determined by our board of directors), we would be required, if the disposition is not an exempt disposition under the terms of our restated charter, to choose one or more of the following three alternatives:


•	declare and pay a dividend on the disposing group's common stock;


•	redeem shares of the disposing group's common stock in exchange for cash, securities or other property; and/or


•	convert all or a portion of the disposing group's outstanding common stock into common stock of the other group.

In this type of a transaction, holders of the disposing group's common stock may receive less value than the value that a third-party buyer might pay for all or substantially all of the assets of the disposing group.

I-30

Our board of directors will decide, in its sole discretion, how to proceed and is not required to select the option that would result in the highest value to holders of any group of our common stock.

Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock may receive less consideration upon a sale of the assets attributed to that group than if that group were a separate company. If the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group were a separate, independent company and its shares were acquired by another person, certain costs of that sale, including corporate level taxes, might not be payable in connection with that acquisition. As a result, stockholders of a separate, independent company with the same assets might receive a greater amount of proceeds than the holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock would receive upon a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the group to which their shares relate. In addition, we cannot assure you that in the event of such a sale the per share consideration to be paid to holders of Liberty Interactive common stock or Liberty Ventures common stock, as the case may be, will be equal to or more than the per share value of that share of stock prior to or after the announcement of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the applicable group. Further, there is no requirement that the consideration paid be tax-free to the holders of the shares of common stock of that group. Accordingly, if we sell all or substantially all of the assets attributed to the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group, our stockholders could suffer a loss in the value of their investment in our company.

In the event of a liquidation of Liberty, holders of Liberty Ventures common stock and Liberty Interactive common stock will not have a priority with respect to the assets attributed to the related tracking stock group remaining for distribution to stockholders. Under the restated charter, upon Liberty's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Liberty Interactive common stock will be entitled to receive, in respect of their shares of such stock, their proportionate interest in all of Liberty's assets, if any, remaining for distribution to holders of common stock in proportion to their respective number of "liquidation units" per share. Relative liquidation units were determined based on the volume weighted average prices of the Liberty Ventures common stock and the Liberty Interactive common stock over the 20 trading day period which commenced shortly after the initial filing of the restated charter. Hence, the assets to be distributed to a holder of either tracking stock upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Liberty will have nothing to do with the value of the assets attributed to the related tracking stock group or to changes in the relative value of the Liberty Interactive common stock and the Liberty Ventures common stock over time.

Our board of directors may in its sole discretion elect to convert the common stock relating to one group into common stock relating to the other group, thereby changing the nature of your investment and possibly diluting your economic interest in our company, which could result in a loss in value to you. Our restated charter permits our board of directors, in its sole discretion, to convert all of the outstanding shares of common stock relating to either of our groups into shares of common stock of the other group on specified terms. A conversion would preclude the holders of stock in each group involved in such conversion from retaining their investment in a security that is intended to reflect separately the performance of the relevant group. We cannot predict the impact on the market value of our stock of (1) our board of directors' ability to effect any such conversion or (2) the exercise of this conversion right by our company. In addition, our board of directors may effect such a conversion at a time when the market value of our stock could cause the stockholders of one group to be disadvantaged.

Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will vote together and will have limited separate voting rights. Holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock will vote together as a single class, except in certain limited circumstances prescribed by our restated charter and under Delaware law. Each share of Series B common stock of each group has ten votes per share, and each share of Series A common stock of each group has one vote per share. Holders of Series C common stock of each group have no voting rights, other than those required under Delaware law. When holders of Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock vote together as a single class, holders having a majority of the votes will be in a position to control the outcome of the vote even if the matter involves a conflict of interest among our stockholders or has a greater impact on one group than the other.

Transactions in our common stock by our insiders could depress the market price of our common stock. Sales of or hedging transactions such as collars relating to our shares by our Chairman of the Board or any of our other directors or executive officers could cause a perception in the marketplace that our stock price has peaked or that adverse events or trends have occurred or may be occurring at our company. This perception can result notwithstanding any personal financial motivation for these insider transactions. As a result, insider transactions could depress the market price for shares of one or more series of our tracking stocks.

Our capital structure, as well as the fact that the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group are not independent companies may inhibit or prevent acquisition bids for the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group and may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. If the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group were separate independent companies, any person interested in acquiring the Interactive Group or the Ventures Group without negotiating with management could seek control of that group by obtaining control of its outstanding voting stock, by means of a tender offer, or by means of a proxy contest. Although we intend Liberty Interactive common stock and Liberty Ventures common stock to reflect the separate economic performance of the Interactive Group and the Ventures Group, respectively, those groups are not separate entities and a person interested in acquiring only one group without negotiation with our management could obtain control of that group only by obtaining control of a majority in voting power of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of our company. The existence of shares of common stock, and different series of shares, relating to different groups could present complexities and in certain circumstances pose obstacles, financial and otherwise, to an acquiring person that are not present in companies that do not have capital structures similar to ours.

Certain provisions of our restated charter and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company that a stockholder may consider favorable. These provisions include:


•	authorizing a capital structure with multiple series of common stock, a Series B common stock of each group that entitles the holders to ten votes per share, a Series A common stock of each group that entitles the holder to one vote per share, and a Series C common stock of each group that except as otherwise required by applicable law, entitles the holder to no voting rights;


•	classifying our board of directors with staggered three-year terms, which may lengthen the time required to gain control of our board of directors;


•	limiting who may call special meetings of stockholders;


•	prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;


•	establishing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings;


•	requiring stockholder approval by holders of at least 66 2/3% of our aggregate voting power or the approval by at least 75% of our board of directors with respect to certain extraordinary matters, such as a merger or consolidation of our company, a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an amendment to our restated charter; and


•	the existence of authorized and unissued stock, including "blank check" preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors to persons friendly to our then current management, thereby protecting the continuity of our management, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of our company.

Our chairman, John C. Malone, beneficially owns shares representing the power to direct approximately 37% of the aggregate voting power in our company, due to his beneficial ownership of approximately 94% of the outstanding shares of each of our Series B Liberty Interactive common stock and Series B Liberty Ventures common stock as of January 31, 2014.

(1) On December 11, 2012, we acquired approximately 4.8 million additional shares of common stock of TripAdvisor, Inc. ("TripAdvisor") (an additional 4% equity ownership interest), for $300 million, along with the right to control the vote of the shares of TripAdvisor's common stock and class B common stock we own. Following the transaction we own approximately 22% of the equity and 57% of the total votes of all classes of TripAdvisor common stock. As we now control TripAdvisor we applied the applicable purchase accounting guidance and recorded a gain on the transaction of $800 million on our ownership interest held prior to the transaction, recognized in the gain (loss) on transactions, net line in the consolidated statements of operations. See note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details on the purchase price allocation.

On September 23, 2011, Liberty completed the split-off of a wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC") (formerly known as Liberty CapStarz, Inc. and prior thereto known as Liberty Splitco, Inc.) (the "LMC Split-Off"). At the time of the LMC Split-Off, LMC owned all the assets, businesses and liabilities previously attributed to the Capital and Starz tracking stock groups. The LMC Split-Off was effected by means of a redemption of all of the Liberty Capital common stock and Liberty Starz common stock of Liberty in exchange for the common stock of LMC. See note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details on the treatment of LMC as discontinued operations in prior periods.


(3)	Includes earnings from continuing operations attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $79 million, $61 million, $53 million, $45 million and $39 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of video and on-line commerce companies. Our largest business, which is also our principal reportable segment, is QVC, Inc. QVC 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. Additionally, we own entire or majority interests in consolidated subsidiaries which operate on-line commerce businesses in a broad range of retail categories. The more significant of these include Backcountry.com, Inc. ("Backcountry"), Bodybuilding.com, LLC ("Bodybuilding"), Celebrate Interactive Holdings, LLC ("Celebrate") and Provide Commerce, Inc ("Provide"). Backcountry operates websites offering sports gear and clothing for outdoor and active individuals in a variety of categories. Bodybuilding manages websites related to sports nutrition, body building and fitness. Celebrate operates websites that offer costumes, accessories, décor, party supplies and invitations. Provide operates an e-commerce marketplace of websites for perishable goods, including flowers, fruits and desserts, as well as upscale personalized gifts. As of December 11, 2012 we began consolidating TripAdvisor, Inc. ("TripAdvisor") which is an online travel research company, empowering users to plan and maximize their travel experience.

Our "Corporate and Other" category includes our corporate ownership interests in unconsolidated businesses and corporate expenses. We hold ownership interests in Expedia, Inc., HSN, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. which we account for as equity method investments; and we continue to maintain investments and related financial instruments in public companies such as Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc., which are accounted for at their respective fair market values and are included in "Corporate and Other."

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 comprised primarily of our consolidated subsidiary TripAdvisor and interests in Expedia, Inc., Interval Leisure Group, Inc., Tree.com, Inc., investments in Time Warner Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc. and AOL, Inc., as well as cash in the amount of approximately $658 million (at December 31, 2013). The Ventures Group also has attributed to it certain liabilities related to our Exchangeable Debentures 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 our video and e-commerce operating businesses and has attributed to it the remainder of our businesses and assets, including our operating subsidiaries QVC, Provide Backcountry, Bodybuilding, Celebrate and CommerceHub as well as our interest in HSN, Inc., including cash of approximately $598 million (at December 31, 2013), including subsidiary cash. The Interactive Group has attributed to it liabilities that reside with QVC and the other entities listed as well as our outstanding senior notes and certain deferred tax liabilities.

Discontinued Operations

Prior to the LMC Split-Off (as defined below), Liberty's equity was structured into three separate tracking stocks. 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 had three tracking stocks, Liberty Interactive common stock, Liberty Starz common stock and Liberty Capital common stock, which were intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the separate businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to each group. These attributed businesses, assets and liabilities were not separate legal entities and therefore no group could own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of the tracking stocks did not have direct claim to the group's stock or assets and were not represented by separate boards of directors.

II- 5

Split-Off, LMC owned all the assets, businesses and liabilities previously attributed to the Capital and Starz tracking stock groups. The LMC Split-Off was effected by means of a redemption of all of the Liberty Capital common stock and Liberty Starz common stock of Liberty for all of the common stock of LMC. This transaction has been accounted for at historical cost due to the pro rata nature of the distribution.

Following the LMC Split-Off, Liberty and LMC operate as separate, publicly traded companies and neither has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in the other. In connection with the LMC Split-Off, Liberty and LMC entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the LMC Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition.

The consolidated financial statements of Liberty have been prepared to reflect LMC as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows of LMC, for periods prior to the respective split-offs, have been excluded from the respective captions in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows in such consolidated financial statements.

Strategies and Challenges

QVC. QVC's goal is to become the preeminent global multimedia shopping community for people who love to shop, and to offer a shopping experience that is as much about entertainment and enrichment as it is about buying. QVC's objective is to provide an integrated shopping experience that utilizes all forms of media including television, the internet and mobile devices. In 2014, QVC intends to employ several strategies to achieve these goals and objectives. Among these strategies are to (i) extend the breadth, relevance and exposure of the QVC brand; (ii) source products that represent unique quality and value; (iii) create engaging presentation content in televised programming, mobile and online; (iv) leverage customer loyalty and continue multi-platform expansion; and (v) create a compelling and differentiated customer experience. In addition, QVC expects to expand globally by leveraging its existing systems, infrastructure and skills in other countries around the world.

QVC's future net revenue growth will primarily depend on international expansion, sales growth from e-commerce and mobile platforms, additions of new customers from households already receiving QVC's television programming and increased spending from existing customers. QVC's future net revenue may also be affected by (i) the willingness of cable television and direct-to-home satellite system operators to continue carrying QVC's programming service; (ii) QVC's ability to maintain favorable channel positioning, which may become more difficult due to governmental action or from distributors converting analog customers to digital; (iii) changes in television viewing habits because of personal video recorders, video-on-demand and internet video services; and (iv) general economic conditions.

In August 2013, QVC-U.S. launched an additional channel, "QVC Plus," which is being distributed through cable and satellite systems. The channel generally offers the same programming as the live channel, but on a three hour pre-recorded delay, which will allow viewers to have access to a broader range of QVC programming options, as well as more relevant programming for viewers in differing time zones.

The prolonged economic uncertainty in various regions of the world in which our subsidiaries and affiliates operate could adversely affect demand for our products and services since a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically falls during times of economic instability. Global financial markets continue to experience disruptions, including increased volatility and diminished liquidity and credit availability. In particular, the European debt crisis, particularly most recently in Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, and related European financial restricting efforts, may cause volatility in the European currencies and reduce the purchasing power of European customers. In the event that one or more countries were to replace the Euro with their legacy currency, then our revenue and operating results in such countries, or Europe generally, would likely be adversely affected until stable exchange rates were established and economic confidence restored. In addition, the European crisis is contributing to instability in global credit markets. The world has experienced a global macroeconomic downturn, and if economic and financial market conditions in the U.S. or other key markets, including Europe, remain uncertain, persist, or deteriorate further, our customers may respond by suspending, delaying, or reducing their discretionary spending. A suspension, delay or reduction in discretionary spending could adversely affect revenue. Accordingly, our ability to increase or maintain revenue and earnings could be adversely affected to the extent that relevant economic environments remain weak or decline further. Such weak economic conditions may also inhibit our expansion into new European and other markets. We currently are unable to predict the extent of any of these potential adverse effects.

We provide in the tables below information regarding our Consolidated Operating Results and Other Income and Expense, as well as information regarding the contribution to those items from our principal reportable segments and our E-commerce businesses. The "corporate and other" category consists of those assets or businesses which we do not disclose separately.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue increased 11.9% and 4.6% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The current year and prior year increases were the result of the full year consolidated results of TripAdvisor, an incremental increase of $909 million in 2013, and increased revenue at QVC ($107 million

II- 7

and $248 million, respectively) and the E-commerce companies ($182 million and $154 million, respectively). See "Results of Operations - Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Adjusted OIBDA. We define Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses (excluding stock compensation). Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes such costs as 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. See note 19 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA increased $374 million and $77 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. Primarily as a result of a full year of results for TripAdvisor. See "Results of Operations - Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) phantom stock appreciation rights ("PSARs") granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans and (3) amortization of restricted stock grants.

We recorded $178 million, $91 million and $49 million of stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase of $87 million in stock-based compensation during 2013 was primarily attributable to the consolidation of TripAdvisor for the entire year ended December 31, 2013 and the additional recognition of stock-based compensation related to the one-time exchange offer in 2012 ("2012 Option Exchange"), as more fully described in note 15, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The 2012 Option Exchange resulted in approximately $21 million of incremental share based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2012. Additionally, our E-commerce companies recorded an increase in stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Liberty equity awards was approximately $109 million. Such amount will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years. Additionally, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested TripAdvisor equity awards was $104 million which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years.

Operating income. Our consolidated operating income increased $12 million and decreased $25 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The change in operating income for 2013 was primarily the result of the full year consolidation of TripAdvisor. The consolidation of TripAdvisor impacted Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA to a greater extent as operating income includes the amortization of intangibles recognized in purchase accounting and the incremental stock-based compensation recorded. The change in operating income for 2012 was due to the increase in stock compensation and the impairment of goodwill at certain E-commerce subsidiaries. See "Results of Operations - Businesses" below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of certain of our subsidiaries.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $59 million and increased $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was the result of a slight decrease in the average debt balance outstanding during the period and the refinancing of prior outstanding obligations for debt with more favorable interest rates. The refinancing of debt required a premium payment on the outstanding debentures which was recognized as a $57 million dollar extinguishment loss and was reflected in the other, net line item in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. The overall increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily the result of a slight increase in the average debt balance outstanding during the period.

Share of earnings (losses) of affiliates. The following table presents our share of earnings (losses) of affiliates:



		Years ended December 31,
		2013			2012		2011
	amounts in millions
Interactive Group
HSN, Inc.		$	61		40		38

Other		(46		)	(48	)	(2	)
Total Ventures Group		(15		)	57		117
Consolidated Liberty		$	33		85		140

The overall decrease in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily the result of the acquisition of a controlling interest in TripAdvisor in December 2012. Therefore, it is no longer accounted for as an equity method affiliate. The decrease in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily the result of the investments made in alternative energy solutions that operate at a loss but provide favorable tax attributes recorded through our income tax (expense) benefit line in the consolidated statement of operations.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following:



		Years ended December 31,
		2013			2012		2011
	amounts in millions
Fair value option securities		$	514		470		55
Exchangeable senior debentures		(553		)	(602	)	(46	)
Other derivatives		17			(219	)	75
		$	(22	)	(351	)	84

The changes in these accounts are due primarily to market factors and changes in the fair value of the underlying stocks or financial instruments to which these relate. The significant change in other derivatives was the forward contract entered into on 12 million Expedia, Inc. common shares that was entered into and settled during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Gains (losses) on transactions, net. The year ended December 31, 2012 gains on transactions relate to our acquisition of a controlling interest in TripAdvisor, a gain on the sale of Expedia, Inc. shares ($443 million) and a gain on the sale of TripAdvisor shares ($288 million) during the year. In December 2012, as discussed above, we acquired an additional ownership interest in TripAdvisor and the right to vote our shares of their class B common stock. The application of business combination accounting, as a result of the acquisition, for TripAdvisor required the recognition of an $800 million gain which was the difference between the fair value of our previously held interest in TripAdvisor and the carrying value of the same ownership interest.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the years ended December, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 18%, 20% and 37%, respectively. The 2013 effective tax rate is less than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% due primarily to a change in the corporate effective state rate for outstanding deferred tax liabilities and assets at Liberty due to a change in the apportionment of income to various states. The 2012 effective tax rate was less than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% due primarily to the consolidation of a previously held equity method affiliate in the current period that triggered a gain for accounting purposes but not for tax purposes. The 2011 effective tax rate was greater than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of state taxes.

II- 10

Net earnings. We had net earnings of $580 million, $1,591 million and $965 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change in net earnings was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2013 substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government securities or government guaranteed funds, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by the operating activities of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (to the extent such cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted), net proceeds from asset sales, monetization of our public investment portfolio, outstanding debt facilities, debt and equity issuances, and dividend and interest receipts.

During the year, there were no changes to our corporate debt credit ratings or our consolidated subsidiaries' debt credit ratings.

As of December 31, 2013, Liberty's liquidity position consisted of the following:



	Cash and cash equivalents		Marketable securities	Available-for-Sale Securities
	amounts in millions
QVC	$	457	—	—
E-commerce	72		—	—
Corporate and other	69		—	4
Total Interactive Group	598		—	4

TripAdvisor	351		131	188
Corporate and other	307		412	1,309
Total Ventures Group	658		543	1,497
Consolidated Liberty	$	1,256	543	1,501

To the extent that the Company recognizes any taxable gains from the sale of assets we may incur tax expense and be required to make tax payments, thereby reducing any cash proceeds. Additionally, we have borrowing capacity of $1,078 million under the QVC credit facility at December 31, 2013. The Company has a controlling interest in TripAdvisor which has significant operating cash flows, although due to TripAdvisor being a separate public company and the significant noncontrolling interest, we do not have ready access to such cash flows. As of December 31, 2013, TripAdvisor and QVC had approximately $297 million and $240 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held in foreign subsidiaries.

Additionally, our operating businesses have generated, on average, more than $1 billion in annual cash provided by operating activities over the prior three years and we do not anticipate any significant reductions in that amount in future periods.

II- 11

Interactive Group

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Interactive Group uses of cash were primarily the refinancing of certain debt obligations of approximately $3 billion and the repurchase of Series A Liberty Interactive common stock of approximately $1 billion. Additionally, the Interactive Group had approximately $295 million of capital expenditures in the period. These uses of cash were funded by cash provided by operating activities and additional borrowings of debt as part of the refinancing activities.

The projected uses of Interactive Group cash are the cost to service outstanding debt, approximately $265 million in interest payments on QVC and corporate level debt, anticipated capital improvement spending of approximately $275 million and the continued buyback of Liberty Interactive common stock under the approved share buyback program.

Ventures Group

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Ventures Group uses of cash were primarily the payment of certain debt obligations and the refinancing of other outstanding debt obligations of approximately $2.4 billion and net purchases of short term and long term marketable securities. Additionally, TripAdvisor acquired approximately $145 million of their own shares under their approved share buyback program. These uses of cash for the Ventures Group were funded by cash provided by operating activities, additional borrowings of debt as part of the refinancing activities, discussed above, and the sale of certain investments which was done on a tax neutral basis in conjunction with the retirement of certain debt obligations.

The projected uses of Ventures Group cash are the cost to service outstanding debt, approximately $60 million in interest payments on TripAdvisor and corporate level debt, continued buyback of TripAdvisor common stock under the approved TripAdvisor share buyback program and further investments in existing or new businesses through continued acquisition activity.

Consolidated

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Liberty's primary uses of cash were $5,474 million of debt repayments, $1,089 million of share repurchases and $352 million of capital expenditures. These uses of cash were funded primarily with $1,360 million of cash provided by operating activities, $4,373 million in borrowings, $1,137 million in cash from the disposition of certain investments and cash on hand.

The projected uses of Liberty cash, outside of normal operating expenses (inclusive of tax payments), are the costs to service outstanding debt, approximately $325 million for interest payments on QVC and corporate level debt, anticipated capital improvement spending of approximately $440 million, the repayment of certain debt obligations and the continued buyback of Liberty Interactive common stock under the approved share buyback program (subsequent to year end we made additional repurchases of approximately 2.6 million shares for $73 million through January 31, 2014 and additional investments in existing or new businesses.

QVC and TripAdvisor were in compliance with their debt covenants as of December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by our company, we may retain liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to the sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. We generally indemnify the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by us. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, we have not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

We have contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is reasonably possible we 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 consolidated financial statements.

II- 12

Information concerning the amount and timing of required payments, both accrued and off-balance sheet, under our contractual obligations, excluding uncertain tax positions as it is undeterminable when payments will be made, is summarized below.

____________________

(1)

Amounts are reflected in the table at the outstanding principal amount, assuming the debt instruments will remain outstanding until the stated maturity date, and may differ from the amounts stated in our consolidated balance sheet to the extent debt instruments (i) were issued at a discount or premium or (ii) have elements which are reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. Amounts also include capital lease obligations. Amounts do not assume additional borrowings or refinancings of existing debt.


(2)	Amounts (i) are based on our outstanding debt at December 31, 2013, (ii) assume the interest rates on our variable rate debt remain constant at the December 31, 2013 rates and (iii) assume that our existing debt is repaid at maturity.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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. Listed below are the accounting estimates that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. All of these accounting estimates and assumptions, as well as the resulting impact to our financial statements, have been discussed with our audit committee.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments. We record a number of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis, including available-for-sale ("AFS") securities, financial instruments and our exchangeable senior debentures. 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. We use quoted market prices, or Level 1 inputs, to value all our Fair Value Option Securities. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying value of our Fair Value Option securities was $1,309 million and $1,716 million, respectively.

Level 2 inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. We use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our exchangeable senior debentures. However, these debentures are not traded on active markets as defined in GAAP, so these liabilities fall in Level 2. As of December 31, 2013, the principal amount and carrying value of our exchangeable debentures were $2,491 million and $2,355 million, respectively.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. We currently have no Level 3 financial instrument assets or liabilities.

Non-Financial Instruments. Our non-financial instrument valuations are primarily comprised of our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangibles, such as trademarks and our evaluation of the recoverability of our other long-lived assets upon certain triggering events. If the carrying value of our long-lived assets exceeds their undiscounted cash flows, we are required to write the carrying value down to fair value. Any such writedown is included in impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of operations. A high degree of judgment is required to estimate the fair value of our

II- 13

long-lived assets. We may use quoted market prices, prices for similar assets, present value techniques and other valuation techniques to prepare these estimates. We may need to make estimates of future cash flows and discount rates as well as other assumptions in order to implement these valuation techniques. Due to the high degree of judgment involved in our estimation techniques, any value ultimately derived from our long-lived assets may differ from our estimate of fair value. As each of our operating segments has long-lived assets, this critical accounting policy affects the financial position and results of operations of each segment.

As of December 31, 2013, the intangible assets not subject to amortization for each of our significant reportable segments was as follows:



	Goodwill		Trademarks	Total
	amounts in millions
QVC	$	5,312	2,428	7,740
TripAdvisor	3,460		1,828	5,288
E-commerce	560		87	647
	$	9,332	4,343	13,675

We perform our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangible assets as of December 31. We adopted accounting guidance relating to annual assessments of recoverability of goodwill and other non-amorizable intangibles during the current and prior years and at year-end we utilized a qualitative assessment for determining whether step one of the goodwill impairment analysis was necessary. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 we recorded $33 million and $92 million, respectively, in goodwill and other intangibles impairments for certain of our E-commerce companies. Continued declining operating results as compared to budgeted results and certain trends required a Step 2 impairment test and a determination of fair value for these subsidiaries. Fair value for these subsidiaries, including intangible assets and goodwill, was determined using Company projections of future operating performance and applying a combination of market multiples and a discounted cash flow calculation (Level 3).

Carrying Value of Investments. We periodically evaluate our investments to determine if decreases in fair value below our cost bases are other than temporary. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, we are required to reflect such decline in our consolidated statement of operations. Other than temporary declines in fair value of our cost investments are recognized on a separate line in our consolidated statement of operations, and other than temporary declines in fair value of our equity method investments are included in share of losses of affiliates in our consolidated statement of operations.

The primary factors we consider in our determination of whether declines in fair value are other than temporary are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below our carrying value; the severity of the decline; and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, we consider the reason for the decline in fair value, be it general market conditions, industry specific or investee specific; analysts' ratings and estimates of 12 month share price targets for the investee; changes in stock price or valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date; and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. Fair value of our publicly traded cost and equity investments is based on the market prices of the investments at the balance sheet date. We estimate the fair value of our other cost and equity investments using a variety of methodologies, including cash flow multiples, discounted cash flow, per subscriber values, or values of comparable public or private businesses. Impairments are calculated as the difference between our carrying value and our estimate of fair value. As our assessment of the fair value of our investments and any resulting impairment losses and the timing of when to recognize such charges requires a high degree of judgment and includes significant estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ materially from our estimates and assumptions.

Our evaluation of the fair value of our investments and any resulting impairment charges are made as of the most recent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date due to the factors described above are possible. Subsequent decreases in fair value will be recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they occur to the extent such decreases are deemed to be other than temporary. Subsequent increases in fair value will be recognized in our consolidated statement of operations only upon our ultimate disposition of the investment.

II- 14

Retail Related Adjustments and Allowances. QVC records adjustments and allowances for sales returns, inventory obsolescence and uncollectible receivables. Each of these adjustments is estimated based on historical experience. Sales returns are calculated as a percent of sales and are netted against revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, sales returns represented 19.8%, 19.4% and 19.4% of QVC's gross product revenue, respectively. The inventory obsolescence reserve is calculated as a percent of QVC's inventory at the end of a reporting period based on, among other factors, the average inventory balance for the preceding 12 months and historical experience with liquidated inventory. The change in the reserve is included in cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2013, QVC's inventory is $931 million, which is net of the obsolescence adjustment of $79 million. QVC's allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated as a percent of accounts receivable at the end of a reporting period, and the change in such allowance is recorded as bad debt expense in our consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2013, QVC's trade accounts receivable are $1,111 million, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $83 million. Each of these estimates requires management judgment and may not reflect actual results.

Income Taxes. We are required to estimate the amount of tax payable or refundable for the current year and the deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in our financial statements or tax returns for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. This process requires our management to make judgments regarding the timing and probability of the ultimate tax impact of the various agreements and transactions that we enter into. Based on these judgments we may record tax reserves or adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets to reflect the expected realizability of future tax benefits. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our inability to generate sufficient future taxable income or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year's liability by taxing authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position.

Results of Operations—Businesses

QVC. QVC, Inc. is a retailer of a wide range of consumer products, which are marketed and sold primarily by merchandise-focused televised shopping programs, the Internet and mobile applications. In the United States, QVC's live programming is distributed via its nationally televised shopping program 24 hours per day, 364 days per year ("QVC-U.S."). Internationally, QVC's program services are based in Japan ("QVC-Japan"), Germany ("QVC-Germany"), the United Kingdom ("QVC-U.K.") and Italy ("QVC-Italy"). QVC-Japan distributes live programming 24 hours per day, QVC-Germany distributes its program 24 hours per day with 23 hours of live programming and QVC-U.K. distributes its program 24 hours per day with 17 hours of live programming.

QVC's consolidated net revenue increased 1.3% and 3.0% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The 2013 increase of $107 million in net revenue was primarily comprised of $257 million due to a 2.7% increase in the average selling price per unit (“ASP”) and $155 million due to a 1.6% increase in units sold. These amounts were partially offset by a net $200 million of unfavorable foreign currency rate adjustments primarily in Japan. Additionally, net revenue was negatively impacted by $102 million due to an increase in estimated product returns, primarily in the U.S., Japan and Germany. The increase in returns in the U.S. was primarily due to sales volume and the increases in Japan and Germany were primarily due to higher returns in the apparel and jewelry categories and a greater mix of apparel products that return at higher rates than other categories. Overall returns as a percent of gross product revenue increased to 19.8% from 19.4% in 2012.

The 2012 increase in net revenue was primarily comprised of $205 million due to a 2.2% increase in ASP, $154 million due to a 1.7% increase in units sold and a $59 million increase in shipping and handling and other miscellaneous revenue. These amounts were partially offset by $92 million of unfavorable foreign currency rate adjustments in all markets and $78 million due to an increase in estimated product returns as a result of the sales increase. Overall returns as a percent of gross product revenue remained flat at 19.4% compared to 2011.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the changes in revenue and expenses were affected by changes in the exchange rates for the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the U.K. Pound Sterling. In the event the U.S. Dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies in the future, QVC's revenue and operating cash flow will be negatively affected.

II- 16

The percentage increase (decrease) in net revenue for each of QVC's geographic areas in U.S. Dollars and in local currency was as follows:



	Year ended				Year ended
	December 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
	U.S. dollars		Local currency		U.S. dollars		Local currency
QVC-US	4.6	%	4.6	%	3.2	%	3.2	%
QVC-Japan	(17.9	)%	0.3	%	10.6	%	11.2	%
QVC-Germany	1.6	%	(1.7	)%	(10.5	)%	(3.5	)%
QVC-UK	2.5	%	3.7	%	2.4	%	3.3	%
QVC-Italy	46.0	%	41.5	%	148.6	%	168.3	%

In 2013, QVC-U.S. net revenue growth was primarily due to a 4.6% increase in ASP, as a result of higher rates in the beauty and accessories categories as well as a greater mix of accessories. QVC-U.S. experienced shipped sales growth in all categories except jewelry. QVC-Japan's shipped sales in local currency improved primarily in the apparel, home and electronics categories, offset by declines in accessories and jewelry and an increase in estimated product returns as discussed in the above paragraph. QVC-Germany's shipped sales in local currency increased primarily in the apparel and accessories categories, but this growth was more than offset by declines in jewelry and electronics and an increase in estimated product returns as discussed in the above paragraph. QVC-U.K.'s shipped sales growth in local currency was primarily the result of increased sales in the home and beauty categories, partially offset by declines in jewelry. QVC-Italy's sales consisted primarily of home, beauty and apparel products.

In 2012, QVC-U.S. net revenue growth was primarily due to a 3.2% increase in ASP and an increase in shipping and handling revenue, partially offset by an increase in returns associated with the sales increase and change in product mix. QVC-U.S.' shipped sales increased mainly due to growth in the home, beauty and apparel categories that were partially offset by a decline in electronics and jewelry. Additionally, QVC-U.S. revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2012 was adversely impacted by the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The hurricane did not impact QVC's operations in West Chester, Pennsylvania. QVC-Japan primarily experienced shipped sales growth in local currency in the home, apparel and accessories categories, with the growth for the year also reflective of the earthquake and related events experienced in March 2011. QVC-Germany primarily experienced shipped sales declines in local currency in the health and fitness, apparel and accessories categories, partially offset by an increase in sales of beauty products. QVC-U.K.'s shipped sales growth in local currency was primarily due to the beauty category. QVC-Italy's sales consisted primarily of home, beauty and apparel products.

QVC's gross profit percentage was 36.6%, 36.4% and 36.2% for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage in 2013 was primarily due to improved product margins in the U.S. and the U.K. The increase in gross profit percentage in 2012 was primarily due to a favorable net shipping and handling position including warehouse productivity in the U.S.; improved leverage of warehouse costs in Japan and warehouse productivity, including the positive impact of lower return processing in Germany.

QVC's operating expenses are principally comprised of commissions, order processing and customer service expenses, credit card processing fees, telecommunications expenses and production costs. Operating expenses increased $25 million or 3.5% and decreased $29 million or 3.9% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The increase in 2013 was primarily due to a $29 million increase in credit card processing fees and a $17 million increase in commissions expense, offset by a $22 million effect of exchange rates. In regards to the increase in credit card processing fees, as discussed in more detail in the subsequent paragraph, QVC-U.S. reached a favorable legal settlement in the prior year, which offset the related expenses. Credit card processing fees also increased in 2013 due to the U.S. sales increase and lower usage of the QVC branded credit card ("Q Card") combined with a higher mix of purchases from customers using credit cards with higher rates charged to merchants. The increase in commissions expense was primarily due to the sales increase in the U.S. and additional programming distribution expenses in Japan.

The decrease in 2012 was primarily due to a $23 million decrease in credit card processing fees and a $10 million effect of exchange rates. In regards to the decrease in credit card processing fees, on October 22, 2012, QVC-U.S. reached a favorable $20 million net legal settlement regarding credit card fees, which was recorded as a reduction of operating expenses in the fourth

II- 17

quarter of 2012. The decrease in credit card processing fees was also due to a change in U.S. legislation associated with customer debit card purchases resulting in lower fees charged to merchants. These decreases were partially offset by a $5 million increase in programming and production expenses primarily in the U.S., and to a lesser extent, Japan and Italy.

QVC's SG&A expenses include personnel, information technology, provision for doubtful accounts, credit card income and marketing and advertising expenses. Such expenses increased $23 million, and as a percent of net revenue, from 6.5% to 6.7% for the year ended December 31, 2013 and increased $41 million, and as a percent of net revenue, from 6.2% to 6.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012 as a result of a variety of factors.

The increase in 2013 was primarily related to a $35 million increase in personnel expense, a $7 million increase in information technology expense, a $5 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts and a $2 million decrease in credit card income, offset by a $13 million effect of exchange rates, a $12 million decrease in sales and franchise taxes and a $3 million decrease in rent expense. The increase in personnel expense was primarily due to merit, benefits and bonus increases in the U.S. and the U.K. as well as severance costs in Germany and the U.K. The increase in information technology expense was primarily due to additional cloud-based software solutions in the U.S. and solutions to enhance customer service and productivity in Germany. The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts was primarily due to the increased use of the Easy-Pay installment program in the U.S. The QVC Easy-Pay Plan (known as Q Pay in Germany) permits customers to pay for items in two or more installments. When the QVC Easy-Pay Plan is offered by QVC and elected by the customer, the first installment is typically billed to the customer's credit card upon shipment. Generally, the customer's credit card is subsequently billed up to five additional monthly installments until the total purchase price of the products has been billed by QVC. The decrease in credit card income was primarily due to the overall economics, including usage, of the Q Card portfolio in the U.S. The decrease in sales and franchise taxes was primarily due to a revision in settlement estimates and credits in the U.S. The decrease in rent expense was primarily due to duplicate running costs including a lease cancellation accrual in the U.K. in the prior year associated with the move to its new headquarters, partially offset by higher rent expense on its new facility in the current year.

The increase in 2012 was primarily related to a $31 million increase in personnel expenses, a $9 million increase in marketing expense, an $8 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts and a $6 million increase in rent expense. These increases were partially offset by a $9 million effect of exchange rates and a $7 million increase in credit card income. The increase in personnel expense was primarily due to merit, benefits and bonus increases in the U.S. and Japan. The increase in marketing expense was primarily due to QVC-U.S. Internet and social media campaigns and a renewal of marketing efforts at QVC-Japan as a result of the earthquake and related events experienced in 2011. The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts was primarily due to the increased use of the Easy-Pay Plan in the U.S. The increase in rent expense was primarily due to duplicate running costs at QVC-U.K. associated with the transition to its new headquarters including a lease cancellation accrual. The increase in credit card income was primarily due to a higher average portfolio balance in the U.S.

Depreciation and amortization consist of the following:



	Years ended December 31,
	2013		2012	2011
	amounts in millions
Affiliate agreements	$	150	151	152
Customer relationships	172		172	173
Purchase accounting related amortization	322		323	325

Software amortization	78		62	95
Channel placement amortization and related expenses	31		15	19
Total depreciation and amortization	$	558	526	574

The increase in software amortization in 2013 was primarily due to solutions to enhance customer service and productivity in the U.S and Germany. The increase in channel placement amortization and related expenses in 2013 was primarily due to new and amended long-term cable and satellite television distribution agreements in the U.S.

II- 18

During the fourth quarter of 2011, QVC determined that certain capitalized customer relationship management ("CRM") software did not meet service-level expectations and desired functionality. As a result, QVC recorded an impairment of certain CRM assets in the amount of $47 million included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations.

TripAdvisor, Inc. The consolidated results of TripAdvisor were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2012 (Revenue of $36 million, Adjusted OIBDA of $8 million and Operating loss of $5 million), due to the timing of gaining control in 2012. As discussed in the "Results of Operations - Consolidated" section the TripAdvisor results were more significant in 2013. Our economic ownership interest in TripAdvisor is only 22% but Liberty's results include the consolidation of TripAdvisor's entire operations with 78% of TripAdvisor's net income (loss), including purchase accounting adjustments, being eliminated through the noncontrolling interest line item. TripAdvisor is a separate publicly traded company and additional information about TripAdvisor can be obtained through its website and its public filings. We believe a discussion of TripAdvisor's stand alone results promotes a better understanding of overall results of their business. TripAdvisor's revenue, Adjusted OIBDA and operating income on a standalone basis for the last three years were as follows (operating income has been reconciled, in the periods subsequent to consolidation, to the amounts reported by Liberty):



		Years ended December 31,
		2013			2012		2011
		amounts in millions
Revenue		$	945		763		637
Adjusted OIBDA		$	379		352		323
Operating income (loss)		$	295		296		273
	Adjustments for purchase accounting and to eliminate results prior to consolidation (1)	$	(287	)	(301	)	NA
Operating income (loss) as reported by Liberty		8			(5	)	NA

(1) Purchase accounting adjustments primarily relate to the amortization of certain customer relationships and other intangibles and recognition of incremental stock-based compensation.

A portion ($217 million, $204 million and $211 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively) of TripAdvisor's revenue was related-party revenue with Expedia, Inc. (TripAdvisor's former parent), which we account for as an equity method affiliate.

Revenue

TripAdvisor derives substantially all of its revenue through the sale of advertising, primarily through click-based advertising and, to a lesser extent, display-based advertising. In addition, revenue is earned through a combination of subscription-based offerings related to its Business Listings and Vacation Rentals products, transaction revenue from selling room nights on transactional sites, and other revenue including content licensing.

Revenue increased $182 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in click-based advertising revenue of $108 million. The primary driver of the increase in click-based advertising revenue was an increase in hotel shoppers, which refers to users who view a listing of hotels in a city or visitors who view a specific hotel page as tracked by TripAdvisor, of 36% for the year ended December 31, 2013, partially offset by lower revenue per hotel shopper of 13% for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to a combination of lower user conversion related to the transition to hotel metasearch, growth in hotel shoppers on smartphones, which have a lower monetization rate than desktops and tablets, and growth in emerging international markets that are currently monetizing at lower levels than mature markets. Display-based advertising increased by $25 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of a 34% increase in the number of impressions due to increased site traffic and worldwide growth particularly in emerging markets, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2012, partially offset by a decrease in pricing by 5% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Subscription, transaction and other revenue increased by $49 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, primarily due to growth in our Business Listings and Vacation Rentals products.

II- 19

Adjusted OIBDA

Adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of revenue has declined period over period as TripAdvisor continues to make investments in the business and the brand. The primary expenses that drive Adjusted OIBDA and operating income on a standalone basis are sales and marketing, technology and content and general and administrative expenses.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of direct costs, including search engine marketing, or SEM, other traffic acquisition costs, syndication costs and affiliate program commissions, brand advertising and public relations. In addition, indirect sales and marketing expense consists of personnel and overhead expenses, including salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation expense (excluded from Adjusted OIBDA but included in operating income) and bonuses for sales, sales support, customer support and marketing employees.

Direct sales and marketing costs increased $66 million or 38% during the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased search engine marketing costs, other traffic acquisition costs and brand advertising costs, including offline advertising, partially offset by a decrease in spending in social media costs. Personnel and overhead costs increased $36 million or 40% during the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in headcount to support business growth, including international expansion, and employees acquired in recent business acquisitions and also increased stock-based compensation costs (excluded from Adjusted OIBDA but included in operating income).

Technology and content

Technology and content expenses consist of personnel and overhead expenses, including salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense and bonuses for salaried employees and contractors engaged in the design, development, testing, content support, and maintenance of the website. Other costs include licensing and maintenance expense.

Technology and content costs increased $44 million or 51% during the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased personnel costs from increased headcount to support business growth, including international expansion, enhanced site features, extending products onto smartphone and tablet platforms, and development of the hotel metasearch product, as well as an increase in stock based compensation (excluded from Adjusted OIBDA but included in operating income) and additional personnel costs related to employees acquired in recent business acquisitions.

General and administrative

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel and related overhead costs, including executive leadership, finance, legal and human resource functions and stock-based compensation as well as professional service fees and other fees including audit, legal, tax and accounting, and other costs including bad debt expense and the charitable foundation costs.

General and administrative costs increased $22 million or 30% during the year ended December 31, 2013, when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased personnel costs related to an increase in stock-based compensation (excluded from Adjusted OIBDA but included in operating income), as well as increased headcount to support business growth and additional professional service fees in order to support the operations and an increase to the bad debt provision.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income was impacted by the above explanations on a standalone basis in addition to the amortization of intangibles and the increase in stock-based compensation, both additional stock-based compensation at the TripAdvisor level (as included in the discussion above) and incremental stock-based compensation resulting from the application of purchase accounting. The year ended December 31, 2012 standalone results included only one month of activity therefore the largest portion of the adjustment for that period related to the elimination of results prior to consolidation.

II- 20

E-commerce businesses. Our E-commerce businesses are comprised primarily of Provide, Backcountry, Bodybuilding and Celebrate. Revenue for the E-commerce businesses is seasonal due to certain holidays, which drive a significant portion of the E-commerce businesses' revenue. The third quarter is generally lower, as compared to the other three quarters, due to fewer holidays.

Revenue increased $182 million and $154 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, respectively. Such increases were the result of increased marketing efforts driving additional traffic, greater conversion resulting from continual investments and upgrades in site optimization, broader inventory offerings and additional sales from discounted pricing of seasonal inventory.

Adjusted OIBDA for the E-commerce businesses decreased $11 million and increased $27 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing 5% of revenue in 2013, as compared to 6% of revenue in 2012 and 9% in 2011. The decrease in Adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was the result of increased spending in paid search as a percentage of revenue, increased promotional activity and product discounting to move seasonal inventory, which impacted gross margins, and lower advertising revenue due to unfavorable pricing and a shift to mobile applications. The most significant declines in operating results for the E-commerce businesses, as compared to prior periods, were the Celebrate retail business and the non-perishable businesses within Provide (Red Envelope and Personal Creations). These businesses had declining revenues as well as decreasing contribution margin (product margin less direct expenses of the business) which hurt the overall Celebrate and Provide businesses. These declining operating results were partially offset by the growth of other E-commerce businesses primarily CommerceHub and Bodybuilding.com. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2012 the E-commerce companies recorded legal settlements ($6 million), additional inventory reserves ($4 million) and retention compensation of certain key personnel at one E-commerce subsidiary ($5 million).

Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was slightly improved over the same periods of December 31, 2012 due primarily to a smaller impairment of goodwill and other intangibles recorded during the current year. In 2013, further impairments of $33 million were recorded for intangibles at Evite and certain Provide intangibles. In 2012, Celebrate and Evite required the recognition of $92 million of impairments as a result of continued declining operating results and disappointing business environment and operational trends.

II- 21

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations by our subsidiaries in different foreign countries. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity, (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates and (iii) entering into interest rate swap arrangements when we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2013, our debt is comprised of the following amounts:



	Variable rate debt				Fixed rate debt
	Principal amount		Weighted avg interest rate		Principal amount		Weighted avg interest rate
	dollar amounts in millions
Interactive Group
QVC	$	922	1.9	%	$	2,899	6.0	%
Corporate and other	$	49	2.4	%	$	1,203	5.9	%
Ventures Group
TripAdvisor	$	369	2.0	%	$	—	NA
Coporate and other	$	—	NA		$	2,091	2.5	%

We are exposed to changes in stock prices primarily as a result of our significant holdings in publicly traded securities. We continually monitor changes in stock markets, in general, and changes in the stock prices of our holdings, specifically. We believe that changes in stock prices can be expected to vary as a result of general market conditions, technological changes, specific industry changes and other factors. We periodically use equity collars and other financial instruments to manage market risk associated with certain investment positions. These instruments, when utilized, are recorded at fair value based on option pricing models.

At December 31, 2013, the fair value of our AFS equity securities was $1,497 million. Had the market price of such securities been 10% lower at December 31, 2013, the aggregate value of such securities would have been $150 million lower. Our stock in Expedia and other equity method affiliates which are publicly traded securities are not reflected at fair value in our balance sheet. These securities are also subject to market risk that is not directly reflected in our statement of operations. Additionally, our exchangeable senior debentures are also subject to market risk. Because we mark these instruments to fair value each reporting date, increases in the price of the respective underlying security generally result in higher liabilities and unrealized losses in our statement of operations.

Liberty is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related primarily to the monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of QVC's and TripAdvisor's foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is the local currency are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the statements of operations are generally translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars that result in unrealized gains or losses are referred to as translation adjustments. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translations) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the period. Accordingly, Liberty may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

II- 22

We periodically assess the effectiveness of our derivative financial instruments. With regard to interest rate swaps, we monitor the fair value of interest rate swaps as well as the effective interest rate the interest rate swap yields, in comparison to historical interest rate trends. We believe that any losses incurred with regard to interest rate swaps would be largely offset by the effects of interest rate movements on the underlying debt facilities. These measures allow our management to evaluate the success of our use of derivative instruments and to determine when to enter into or exit from derivative instruments.

None.

II- 23

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Liberty Interactive Corporation's (the "Company") management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation the Company's management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, its internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm audited the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page II-25 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Liberty Interactive Corporation:

We have audited Liberty Interactive Corporation and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Liberty Interactive Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Liberty Interactive Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Interactive Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Liberty Interactive Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Interactive Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty Interactive Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Interactive Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
