Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2026
Aug 6, 2026Liberty Media Corporation (FWONK) reported its second-quarter 2026 results, showcasing a mixed financial performance influenced by its core motorsport businesses. While consolidated revenue saw a decrease year-over-year, this was largely attributable to a reduction in the number of Formula 1 events compared to the prior year and the timing of revenue recognition, partially offset by the inclusion of MotoGP's revenue following its acquisition in July 2025. The company's operational performance, as measured by Adjusted OIBDA, also declined, reflecting lower contributions from Formula 1, though MotoGP provided a positive counterpoint. Net earnings from continuing operations experienced a significant drop compared to the prior year, impacted by lower revenues and certain non-recurring or timing-related items. The company continues to manage its debt obligations, with significant borrowings related to Formula 1 and MotoGP. Liquidity appears adequate, with substantial cash and cash equivalents on hand, supported by operating cash flows. Investors should monitor the impact of the reduced Formula 1 event calendar on future revenues and the integration and performance of the MotoGP business.

Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2015
Aug 5, 2015Liberty Media Corporation (FWONK) reported a mixed financial performance for the second quarter of 2015. The company saw revenue growth primarily driven by its significant subsidiary, SIRIUS XM Holdings, Inc. (SIRIUS XM), which experienced increased subscriber and other revenue. However, this growth was partially offset by declines in other segments, notably the Atlanta National League Baseball Club (ANLBC), and the impact of the recent Broadband Spin-Off, which removed certain assets and their associated revenues from consolidated results. Operationally, Adjusted OIBDA showed a significant increase, again largely attributable to SIRIUS XM's performance and the favorable impact of removing TruePosition from consolidated results post-spin-off. While consolidated operating income saw a decrease in the three-month period due to a substantial legal settlement at SIRIUS XM, the six-month period showed improvement. Investors should note the company's ongoing market risk exposure from its public investment portfolio and the significant legal proceedings at SIRIUS XM, particularly the pre-1972 sound recording matters and TCPA suits, which, although mostly unquantifiable in potential loss, carry inherent uncertainties.
Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2015
May 8, 2015Liberty Media Corporation (FWONK) reported its first quarter 2015 results, with consolidated revenue growing to $1.081 billion, a notable increase from $1.011 billion in the prior year's first quarter. This growth was primarily driven by a strong performance at its principal operating subsidiary, SIRIUS XM Holdings, Inc., which saw its revenue climb to $1.076 billion. Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA also saw a significant improvement, rising to $373 million from $294 million year-over-year, largely attributable to operational efficiencies at SIRIUS XM and a favorable comparison at the Atlanta National League Baseball Club (ANLBC) due to one-off costs in the prior year. The company also benefited from the spin-off of its broadband assets in late 2014, which removed TruePosition from its consolidated results, positively impacting Adjusted OIBDA. Despite the revenue and OIBDA improvements, Liberty Media reported a decline in net earnings to $19 million for the quarter, down from $72 million in the same period last year. This decrease was influenced by higher interest expenses, particularly at SIRIUS XM, and unfavorable realized and unrealized gains/losses on financial instruments compared to the prior year. The company's liquidity remains solid, with significant cash and cash equivalents, though access to SIRIUS XM's cash is limited due to its public status and non-controlling interest. Liberty also continued its share repurchase program, buying back approximately $58 million of its Series A common stock during the quarter.
Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2014
Nov 5, 2014Liberty Media Corporation's (FWONK) Q3 2014 filing shows a consolidated revenue increase driven by its principal operating subsidiary, SIRIUS XM Holdings, Inc. SIRIUS XM experienced growth in subscriber revenue, largely due to an increase in the average number of subscribers and a modest rise in subscription rates, as well as growth in other revenue streams like advertising and equipment sales. Despite increased costs associated with subscriber services and customer service, SIRIUS XM's Adjusted OIBDA saw a slight increase year-over-year. Liberty Media's consolidated financial performance was also impacted by a significant gain recognized in Q1 2013 from the acquisition of a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM. For the current reporting period, however, this large gain did not repeat, leading to a year-over-year decrease in net earnings. The company's liquidity remains stable, supported by cash balances and operational cash flow from its subsidiaries, although access to SIRIUS XM's cash is limited due to its separate public company status and non-controlling interest. The company also highlights its ongoing share repurchase program and potential future investments.
Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2014
Aug 5, 2014Liberty Media Corporation (FWONK) reported its second quarter 2014 results, with a significant focus on its consolidated subsidiary, SIRIUS XM Holdings. Overall revenue saw an increase driven primarily by SIRIUS XM's performance. SIRIUS XM reported solid subscriber growth and improved revenue from both subscription and other sources. The company's Adjusted OIBDA also showed an increase, reflecting operational efficiencies at SIRIUS XM, though this was partially offset by declines in other segments like TruePosition and ANLBC. Liberty Media's 'Corporate and Other' segment experienced revenue and Adjusted OIBDA declines, partly due to specific contractual arrangements and operational impacts at ANLBC. Key financial movements include a substantial increase in interest expense, largely attributable to the full consolidation of SIRIUS XM's debt. The company also experienced significant fluctuations in gains and losses on financial instruments, with a notable gain on transactions in the prior year related to the SIRIUS XM acquisition. Despite these complexities, Liberty Media's net earnings for the quarter were $106 million, a decrease from the prior year's $152 million, largely due to the absence of the significant gain recognized in Q2 2013 from the SIRIUS XM purchase accounting treatment. The company's liquidity remains solid, with substantial cash and cash equivalents, and it has an ongoing share repurchase program available.
Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2014
May 8, 2014Liberty Media Corporation (FWONK) reported its first quarter 2014 results, highlighting continued strong performance from its principal operating subsidiary, SIRIUS XM Holdings, Inc. Consolidated revenue saw a significant increase of $222 million, largely driven by SIRIUS XM's revenue growth and the full consolidation of its results. Adjusted OIBDA also rose by $32 million, again primarily attributed to SIRIUS XM's operational efficiencies. While the company's consolidated operating income saw a modest increase, the overall financial picture for the quarter was significantly impacted by a large one-time gain recorded in the prior year's first quarter related to the SIRIUS XM acquisition. Key financial movements in the current quarter include an increase in interest expense, driven by the consolidation of SIRIUS XM's debt, and a substantial decrease in 'Other Income (Expense)' due to the absence of the prior year's $7.5 billion gain on the SIRIUS XM transaction. Liberty Media's liquidity remains solid, supported by cash and cash equivalents, though direct access to SIRIUS XM's cash is limited. The company also repurchased $670 million of margin loans and announced a $450 million share repurchase program, with $327 million remaining available as of quarter-end.
Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2013
Nov 5, 2013Liberty Media Corporation (FWONK) reported significant financial shifts in the nine months ending September 30, 2013, largely driven by the consolidation of SIRIUS XM Radio, Inc. (SIRIUS XM) in January 2013. This consolidation transformed SIRIUS XM from an equity affiliate to a majority-owned subsidiary, significantly impacting Liberty Media's revenue, operating income, and net earnings. The company also completed a substantial acquisition of Charter Communications shares and warrants. Despite these major operational changes and a large gain from the SIRIUS XM acquisition under purchase accounting, Liberty Media faced increased interest expenses and a higher effective tax rate in the current quarter, impacting its net earnings compared to the prior year's periods. Investors should note the substantial increase in consolidated revenue and Adjusted OIBDA, primarily attributable to the full inclusion of SIRIUS XM's financial results. However, the report also highlights significant stock-based compensation expenses related to both Liberty Media and SIRIUS XM equity awards, which will continue to be recognized over the next few years. The company's liquidity remains strong, supported by cash reserves and operating cash flows from its subsidiaries, though direct access to SIRIUS XM's substantial cash flows is limited due to the noncontrolling interest.
Liberty Media Corp Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2013
Aug 6, 2013Liberty Media Corporation's (FWONK) Q2 2013 filing reveals significant strategic shifts, most notably the acquisition of a controlling interest in SIRIUS XM Radio, Inc. (SIRIUS XM) on January 18, 2013. This acquisition led to the consolidation of SIRIUS XM's financial results and a substantial impact on Liberty Media's revenue and profitability for the period. The company reported a significant gain of approximately $7.5 billion due to the application of purchase accounting for this transaction. As a result of these changes, Liberty Media's financial reporting now treats Starz operations as discontinued operations, with historical financial data reflecting Starz as the accounting successor. For investors, the consolidation of SIRIUS XM represents a major operational change, providing a significant boost to consolidated revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. However, it also brought increased interest expense due to acquired debt. The company also made substantial investments in Charter Communications, Inc., further diversifying its portfolio. While Liberty Media holds a significant stake in SIRIUS XM, it's important to note that direct access to SIRIUS XM's substantial operating cash flows is limited due to SIRIUS XM being a separate public company with a significant noncontrolling interest.
