Guarantor/Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information
(19) Guarantor/Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information
The following information contains the consolidating financial statements for the Company, the parent on a stand-alone basis (QVC, Inc.), the combined subsidiary guarantors (Affiliate Relations Holdings, Inc.; Affiliate Investment, Inc.; AMI 2, Inc.; ER Marks, Inc.; QVC International LLC; QVC Rocky Mount, Inc. and QVC San Antonio, LLC) and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries are majority-owned by QVC International LLC, which is a guarantor subsidiary.
These consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company's financial information on the same basis of accounting as the Company's consolidated financial statements. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, such as management fees, royalty revenue and expense and interest income and expense. Goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to the subsidiaries based on management’s estimates. Certain costs have been partially allocated to all of the subsidiaries of the Company.
The subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company. All guarantees are full and unconditional and are joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from its U.S. subsidiaries, including the guarantors, by dividend or loan. The Company has not presented separate notes and other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors as the Company has determined that such material information is available in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company adjusted the previously reported consolidating financial statements to correctly classify transactions among QVC Inc., the combined subsidiary guarantors and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The adjustments to the consolidating balance sheets:
increased intercompany accounts receivable of the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries by $650 million and increased intercompany accounts payable of QVC, Inc. by $1,055 million related to cumulative revenue net of cumulative cost of goods sold and cumulative operating expenses, which have been attributed from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012; and
increased shareholder’s equity for the combined subsidiary guarantors by $405 million and combined non-guarantor subsidiaries by $650 million with an equal and offsetting increase in the investment in subsidiaries of QVC, Inc. and its corresponding elimination as of December 31, 2012.
The adjustments to the consolidating statements of operations:
attributed $231 million and $199 million of revenue, $69 million and $73 million of cost of goods sold and $33 million and $25 million in operating expenses for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively, from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries and recognized equal and offsetting increases in the equity in earnings of subsidiaries of QVC, Inc.; and
recognized $63 million and $52 million for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively, in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of QVC, Inc. and eliminated that income in consolidation.
The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows:
attributed net cash provided by operating activities from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries primarily related to revenue net of cost of goods sold and operating expenses of $156 million and $103 million for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively;
increased net cash provided by the investing activities of QVC, Inc. of $101 million for the year ended 2012, decreased net cash used in the investing activities of QVC, Inc. of $37 million for the year ended 2011 and increased net cash provided by the investing activities of the combined subsidiary guarantors of $49 million for the year ended 2012, all with equal and offsetting eliminations; and
increased net cash provided by the financing activities of QVC, Inc. of $55 million and $140 million for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively, decreased net cash used in the financing activities of the combined subsidiary guarantors of $48 million for the year ended 2012 and decreased net cash used in the financing activities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of $152 million and $106 million for the years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively, all with equal and offsetting eliminations.
The adjustments had no impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity or consolidated statements of cash flows for any current and previously reported period.
The effect of the adjustment on equity as of January 1, 2012 was as follows:
