II-26 Table of Contents MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management of the Company 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 Exchange Act. 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 GAAP. 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, 2023, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm audited the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Their report appears on page II-28 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. ​ ​ II-27 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Liberty Media Corporation: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Liberty Media Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) 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) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’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 are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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 of internal control over financial reporting 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. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 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. /s/ KPMG LLP Denver, Colorado February 28, 2024 ​ II-28 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors Liberty Media Corporation: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Media Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, 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) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion 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 are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Sufficiency of audit evidence over certain subscriber and advertising revenue streams As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, and disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations, the Company generated $12,525 million of revenue, of which $6,342 million was Sirius XM subscriber revenue and $1,589 million was Pandora advertising revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s accounting for these subscriber and advertising revenue streams involved multiple information technology (IT) systems. II-29 Table of Contents We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence related to Sirius XM subscriber revenue and Pandora advertising revenue as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained required auditor judgment due to the number of IT applications used by the Company that involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over Sirius XM subscriber and Pandora advertising revenue. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Sirius XM subscriber and Pandora advertising revenue recognition processes. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing certain IT application controls and general IT controls used by the Company in its revenue recognition processes and testing the interface of relevant revenue data between different IT systems used in the revenue recognition processes. For Sirius XM subscriber revenue, we assessed the recorded revenue by comparing the total cash received during the year, adjusted for reconciling items, to the revenue recorded in the general ledger. For a sample of Pandora advertising revenue, we traced the recorded amounts to underlying source documents and system reports. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media and entertainment industries primarily in North America and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our most significant subsidiaries include Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”) and Delta Topco Limited (the parent company of Formula 1). Our most significant investment accounted for under the equity method is Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”). Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings") was a subsidiary of the Company until the Split-Off (defined below) on July 18, 2023. Braves Holdings is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Split-Off did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. On November 3, 2021, pursuant to an exchange agreement with certain counterparties, Liberty acquired an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock in exchange for the issuance by Liberty to the counterparties of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. As of December 31, 2023, we owned approximately 83 % of the outstanding equity interest in Sirius XM Holdings. Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Qurate Retail, Inc. (“Qurate Retail”), Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“TripCo”), Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”) and Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“ABH”), all of which are separate publicly traded companies, in order to govern relationships between the companies. None of these entities has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others as of December 31, 2023. These agreements include Reorganization Agreements (in the case of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and ABH only), Services Agreements, Facilities Sharing Agreements, Tax Sharing Agreements (in the case of Liberty Broadband and ABH only) and an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement (in the case of ABH only). In addition, as a result of certain corporate transactions, Liberty and Qurate Retail may have obligations to each other for certain tax related matters. The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between Liberty and each of Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and ABH, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, Liberty provides Qurate Retail, TripCo, Liberty Broadband and ABH with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury, information technology, cybersecurity and investor relations support. Qurate Retail, TripCo, Liberty Broadband and ABH reimburse Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and in the case of Qurate Retail, Qurate Retail’s allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Qurate Retail. TripCo, Liberty Broadband and ABH reimburse Liberty for shared services and personnel based on a flat fee. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, Liberty shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with Qurate Retail, TripCo, Liberty Broadband and ABH. Under these various agreements, approximately $ 24 million, $ 21 million and $ 27 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In connection with Liberty’s employment arrangement with Gregory B. Maffei, Liberty’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), pursuant to the Services Agreements between Liberty and each of TripCo, Liberty Broadband, Qurate Retail and ABH (collectively, the “Service Companies”), components of Mr. Maffei's compensation are either paid directly to him by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case, based on allocations among II-38 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Liberty and the Service Companies set forth in the respective services agreement, which are subject to adjustment on an annual basis and upon the occurrence of certain events. (2) Tracking Stocks A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or “track” the economic performance of a particular business or “group,” rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. On July 18, 2023, the Company completed the split-off (the “Split-Off”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, ABH. The Split-Off was accomplished by a redemption by the Company of each outstanding share of Liberty Braves common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding series of ABH common stock. ABH is comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”) immediately prior to the Split-Off, except for the intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”), which were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off. On August 3, 2023, the Company reclassified its then-outstanding shares of common stock into three new tracking stocks — Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock and Liberty Live common stock, and, in connection therewith, provided for the attribution of the businesses, assets and liabilities of the Company’s remaining tracking stock groups among its newly created Liberty SiriusXM Group, Formula One Group and Liberty Live Group (the “Reclassification”). As a result of the Reclassification, each then-outstanding share of Liberty SiriusXM common stock was reclassified into one share of the corresponding series of new Liberty SiriusXM common stock and 0.2500 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Live common stock and each outstanding share of Liberty Formula One common stock was reclassified into one share of the corresponding series of new Liberty Formula One common stock and 0.0428 of a share of the corresponding series of Liberty Live common stock. Each of the Split-Off and the Reclassification were intended to be tax-free to stockholders of the Company, except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Split-Off and the Reclassification are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, the Formula One Group and the Liberty Live Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group’s stock or assets and therefore, do not own, by virtue of their ownership of a Liberty tracking stock, any equity or voting interest in a public company, such as Sirius XM Holdings, in which Liberty holds an interest that is attributed to a Liberty tracking stock group, the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Holders of tracking stock are also not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation. The Liberty SiriusXM common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, which, as of December 31, 2023, include its interest in Sirius XM Holdings, corporate cash, Liberty’s 3.75 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, Liberty’s 2.75 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049 and a margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty. As of December 31, 2023, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 306 million, which includes $ 216 million of subsidiary cash. The Liberty Formula One common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Formula One Group, which, as of December 31, 2023, include Liberty’s interest in Formula 1, cash and Liberty’s 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. As of December 31, 2023, II-39 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Formula One Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 1,408 million, which includes $ 1,002 million of subsidiary cash. The Liberty Live common stock is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Live Group. As of December 31, 2023, the Liberty Live Group is primarily comprised of Liberty’s interest in Live Nation, cash, certain public and private assets previously attributed to the Formula One Group, Liberty’s 2.375 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2053, Liberty’s 0.5 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and a margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty. Prior to the Split-Off, the Liberty Braves common stock was intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group. The Braves Group was primarily comprised of Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC” or the “Braves”), certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ stadium (the “Stadium”) and a mixed-use development around the Stadium that features retail, office, hotel and entertainment opportunities (the “Mixed-Use Development”) and corporate cash. As of December 31, 2021, 6,792,903 notional shares representing an 11.0 % intergroup interest in the Braves Group were held by the Formula One Group, 2,292,037 notional shares representing a 3.7 % intergroup interest in the Braves Group were held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group and 5,271,475 notional shares representing a 2.2 % intergroup interest in the Formula One Group were held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. During September 2022, the Formula One Group and the Braves Group paid approximately $ 64 million and $ 14 million, respectively, to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle a portion of the intergroup interests in the Formula One Group and Braves Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group, as a result of the repurchase of a portion of Liberty’s 1.375 % Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”), as described in note 9. During March 2023, the Formula One Group paid approximately $ 202 million to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle a portion of the intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group, as a result of the repurchase of a portion of the Convertible Notes, as described in note 9. On July 12, 2023, the Formula One Group paid approximately $ 71 million to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle and extinguish the remaining intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. In connection with the Split-Off, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group were settled and extinguished through the attribution, to the respective tracking stock group, of ABH Series C common stock on a one-for-one basis equal to the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest. On July 19, 2023, the shares of ABH Series C common stock attributed to the Formula One Group to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in connection with the Split-Off were distributed on a pro rata basis to holders of Liberty Formula One common stock (the “Formula One Distribution”). During November 2023, Liberty exchanged the shares of ABH Series C common stock attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with a third party to satisfy certain debt obligations attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. On December 11, 2023, Liberty entered into definitive agreements, subject to the terms thereof, to redeem each outstanding share of its Liberty SiriusXM common stock in exchange for a number of shares of common stock of a newly formed entity (the “Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off”), Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Liberty Sirius XM Holdings”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2023, by and among Liberty, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings and Sirius XM Holdings (the “Reorganization Agreement”)). The Exchange Ratio will be calculated prior to the effective time of the redemption and is estimated to be approximately 8.4 shares of Liberty Sirius XM Holdings common stock. Liberty Sirius XM Holdings will be comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off is intended to II-40 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 be tax-free to holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock (except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares) and the completion of the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off will be subject to various conditions, including the receipt of opinions of tax counsel. On December 11, 2023, Liberty also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Sirius XM Holdings, with Sirius XM Holdings surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Sirius XM Holdings (the “Merger” and, together with the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off, the “Transactions”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Merger is dependent and conditioned on the approval and completion of the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off, and the Merger will not be completed unless the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off is completed. If the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off is completed, the Merger will also be completed. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions, the Company expects to complete the Transactions early in the third quarter of 2024. See Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for unaudited attributed financial information for Liberty’s tracking stock groups. (3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Receivables Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for credit losses and sales returns. The table below presents changes in the allowance for the periods presented: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 2022 2021 ​ ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Balance, beginning of period ​ $ 14 ​ 13 ​ 17 ​ Provision charged to expense ​ ​ 59 ​ 59 ​ 54 ​ Write-offs, net of recoveries ​ ​ ( 56 ) ​ ( 59 ) ​ ( 58 ) ​ Foreign currency translation adjustments ​ ​ — ​ 1 ​ — ​ Balance, end of period ​ $ 17 ​ 14 ​ 13 ​ ​ Investments All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are carried at fair value, generally based on quoted market prices and changes in the fair value of such securities are reported in realized and unrealized gain (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected the measurement alternative (defined as the cost of the security, adjusted for changes in fair value when there are observable prices, less impairments) for its equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The total value of marketable equity securities aggregated $ 113 million and $ 80 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For those investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur rather than as dividends or other distributions are received. Losses are limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the II-41 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 investee. In the event the Company is unable to obtain accurate financial information from an equity affiliate in a timely manner, the Company records its share of earnings or losses of such affiliate on a lag. Changes in the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying equity of an equity method investee, which result from the issuance of additional equity securities by such equity investee, are recognized in the statement of operations through the other, net line item. To the extent there is a difference between our ownership percentage in the underlying equity of an equity method investee and our carrying value, such difference is accounted for as if the equity method investee were a consolidated subsidiary. The Company continually reviews its equity investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other than temporary. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Company’s carrying value; the severity of the decline; and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, the Company considers 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 the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the equity method investment is written down to fair value. In situations where the fair value of an investment is not evident due to a lack of a public market price or other factors, the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to arrive at the estimated fair value of such investment. The Company’s assessment of the foregoing factors involves a high degree of judgment and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates and judgments. Write-downs for equity method investments are included in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates. The Company performs a qualitative assessment for equity securities without readily determinable fair values each reporting period to determine whether the security could be impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment could exist, we estimate the fair value of the investments, and, to the extent the security’s fair value is less than its carrying value, an impairment is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities All of the Company’s derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive earnings and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. None of the Company’s derivatives are currently designated as hedges. The fair value of certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates a number of variables in determining such fair values, including expected volatility of the underlying security and an appropriate discount rate. The Company obtained volatility rates from pricing services based on the expected volatility of the underlying security over the remaining term of the derivative instrument. A discount rate was obtained at the inception of the derivative instrument and updated each reporting period, based on the Company’s estimate of the discount rate at which it could currently settle the derivative instrument. The Company considered its own credit risk as well as the credit risk of its counterparties in estimating the discount rate. Considerable management judgment was required in estimating the Black-Scholes variables. II-42 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Property and Equipment Property and equipment consisted of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estimated ​ December 31, ​ ​ Useful Life 2023 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ amounts in millions Land NA ​ $ 304 390 ​ Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 years ​ 706 972 ​ Support equipment 3 - 20 years ​ 744 864 ​ Satellite system 15 years ​ 1,799 1,944 ​ Construction in progress NA ​ 525 311 ​ Total property and equipment ​ ​ ​ $ 4,078 4,481 ​ ​ Property and equipment, including significant improvements, is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 270 million, $ 262 million and $ 270 million, respectively. Sirius XM Holdings capitalizes a portion of the interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction and launch of its satellites. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset’s cost and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Capitalized interest costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $ 16 million and $ 5 million, respectively. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment upon certain triggering events. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (collectively, “indefinite lived intangible assets”) are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there are any negative macroeconomic conditions, industry specific conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing business, management challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact company specific performance in future periods. As part of the analysis, the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain reporting units that have been made at various points throughout the current and prior years for other purposes. If based on the qualitative analysis it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. II-43 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Developing estimates of fair value requires significant judgments, including making assumptions about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates, relevant comparable market multiples, public trading prices and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in Liberty’s valuation analysis are based on management’s best estimates considering current marketplace factors and risks as well as assumptions of growth rates in future years. There is no assurance that actual results in the future will approximate these forecasts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The accounting guidance also permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative assessment is performed. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and its intangible assets (other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles) to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset group, an impairment adjustment is to be recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such asset groups exceeds their fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of asset groups. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Asset groups to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Noncontrolling Interests The Company reports noncontrolling interests of subsidiaries within equity in the balance sheet and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is presented in the statement of operations. Also, changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries in which the Company maintains a controlling interest are recorded in equity. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Sales, value add, and other taxes, when collected concurrently with revenue producing activities, are excluded from revenue. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. To the extent the incremental costs of obtaining a contract relate to a period greater than one year, the Company amortizes such incremental costs in a manner that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. If, at contract inception, we determine the time period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays us for that good or service is one year or less, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. II-44 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Our customers generally pay for services in advance of the performance obligation and therefore these prepayments are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in our consolidated statement of operations as the services are provided. Changes in the contract liability balance for Sirius XM Holdings during the year ended December 31, 2023 were not materially impacted by other factors. The opening and closing balances for our deferred revenue related to Formula 1 were approximately $ 348 million and $ 248 million, respectively. As the majority of Sirius XM Holdings contracts are one year or less, Sirius XM Holdings utilizes the optional exemption under ASC 606 and does not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for contracts which have original expected durations of one year or less. As of December 31, 2023, less than seven percent of the Sirius XM Holdings total deferred revenue balance related to contracts that extended beyond one year. These contracts primarily include prepaid data trials which are typically provided for three to five years as well as for self-pay customers who prepay for their audio subscriptions for up to three years in advance. These amounts will be recognized on a straight-line basis as Sirius XM Holdings’ services are provided. Significant portions of the transaction prices for Formula 1 are related to undelivered performance obligations that are under contractual arrangements that extend beyond one year. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue from the delivery of such performance obligations of approximately $ 2,333 million in 2024 , $ 2,213 million in 2025 , $ 5,899 million in 2026 through 2030, and $ 1,777 million thereafter. We have not included any amounts in the undelivered performance obligations amounts for Formula 1 for those performance obligations that relate to a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less. Sirius XM Holdings The following table disaggregates Sirius XM Holdings’ revenue by source: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Subscriber $ 6,866 ​ 6,892 ​ 6,614 ​ Advertising ​ 1,758 ​ 1,772 ​ 1,730 ​ Equipment ​ 193 ​ 189 ​ 201 ​ Other ​ 136 ​ 150 ​ 151 ​ Total Sirius XM Holdings revenue $ 8,953 ​ 9,003 ​ 8,696 ​ ​ The following is a description of the principal activities from which Sirius XM Holdings generates its revenue – including from self-pay and paid promotional subscribers, advertising, and sales of equipment. Subscriber revenue. Subscriber revenue consists primarily of subscription fees and other ancillary subscription based revenue. Revenue is recognized on a straight line basis when the performance obligations to provide each service for the period are satisfied, which is over time as Sirius XM Holdings’ subscription services are continuously transmitted and can be consumed by customers at any time. Consumers purchasing or leasing a vehicle with a factory-installed satellite radio may receive between a three and twelve month subscription to Sirius XM Holdings’ service. In certain cases, the subscription fees for these consumers are prepaid by the applicable automaker. Prepaid subscription fees received from automakers or directly from consumers are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to revenue ratably over the service period which commences upon sale. Activation fees are recognized over one month as the activation fees are non-refundable and do not provide for a material right to the customer. There is no revenue recognized for unpaid trial subscriptions. In some cases, Sirius XM Holdings pays a loyalty fee to the automakers when it receives a certain amount of payments from self-pay customers acquired from that automaker. These fees are considered incremental costs to obtain a contract and are therefore recognized as an asset and amortized to subscriber acquisition costs over an average subscriber II-45 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 life. Revenue share and loyalty fees paid to an automaker offering a paid trial are accounted for as a reduction of revenue as the payment does not provide a distinct good or service. Music royalty fee primarily consists of U.S. music royalty fees (“MRF”) collected from subscribers. The related costs Sirius XM Holdings incurs for the right to broadcast music and other programming are recorded as revenue share and royalties expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Fees received from subscribers for the MRF are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to subscriber revenue ratably over the service period. Advertising revenue. Sirius XM Holdings recognizes revenue from the sale of advertising as performance obligations are satisfied, which generally occurs as ads are delivered. For Sirius XM Holdings’ satellite radio service, ads are delivered when they are aired. For streaming services, ads are delivered primarily based on impressions. Agency fees are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for Sirius XM Holdings’ advertising inventory and are reported as a reduction of advertising revenue. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings pays certain third parties a percentage of advertising revenue. Advertising revenue is recorded gross of such revenue share payments as Sirius XM Holdings controls the advertising service including the ability to establish pricing and Sirius XM Holdings is primarily responsible for providing the service. Advertising revenue share payments are recorded to revenue share and royalties during the period in which the advertising is transmitted. Equipment revenue. Equipment revenue and royalties from the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories are recognized upon shipment, net of discounts and rebates. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with shipping goods to customers are reported as a component of cost of services. Other revenue. Other revenue primarily includes revenue recognized from royalties received from Sirius XM Canada. Sirius XM Holdings revenue is reported net of any taxes assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer in the consolidated statements of operations. Formula 1 The following table disaggregates Formula 1’s revenue by source: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Primary $ 2,560 ​ 2,107 ​ 1,850 ​ Other ​ 662 ​ 466 ​ 286 ​ Total Formula 1 revenue $ 3,222 ​ 2,573 ​ 2,136 ​ ​ Upon entering into a new arrangement, Formula 1 occasionally incurs certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract. These incremental costs relate to commission amounts that will be paid over the life of the contract for which the recipient does not have any substantive future performance requirement to earn such commission. Accordingly, the commission costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract. ​ The following is a description of principal activities from which Formula 1 generates its revenue. ​ II-46 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Primary revenue. Formula 1 holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of race promotion, broadcasting and sponsorship arrangements. Primary revenue derived from the commercial exploitation of the World Championship is (i) recognized on an event by event basis for those performance obligations associated with a specific event based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement and (ii) recognized over time for those performance obligations associated with a period of time that is greater than a single specific event (for example, over the entire race season or calendar year) based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement. ​ Other revenue. Formula 1 earns other revenue from miscellaneous and ancillary sources, primarily related to facilitating the shipment of cars and equipment to and from the events outside of Europe, revenue from the sale of tickets to the Paddock Club at most events, support races at events, various television production activities and other ancillary operations. To the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights associated with a specific event, the revenue is recognized upon occurrence of the related event and to the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights over a longer period of time, the revenue is recognized over time. ​ Braves Holdings ​ The following table disaggregates Braves Holdings’ revenue by source: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Baseball $ 318 ​ 535 ​ 526 ​ Mixed-Use Development ​ 32 ​ 53 ​ 42 ​ Total Braves Holdings revenue $ 350 ​ 588 ​ 568 ​ ​ Braves Holdings is required to estimate the entire transaction price of its contractual arrangements and recognize revenue allocated to each of the performance obligations within the contractual arrangements as those performance obligations are satisfied. Such performance obligations are typically satisfied over time and result in differences between revenue recognized and cash received, dependent on how far into a contractual arrangement Braves Holdings is at any given reporting period. The following is a description of principal activities from which Braves Holdings generates its revenue. Baseball revenue. Revenue for Braves Holdings ticket sales, signage and suites are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season based on a pro rata share of total revenue earned during the entire baseball season to the total number of home games during the season. Broadcasting rights are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season based on the pro rata number of games played to date to the total number of games during the season. Concession and parking revenue are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season. Major League Baseball (“MLB”) revenue is earned throughout the year based on an estimate of revenue generated by MLB on behalf of the 30 MLB clubs. Sources of MLB revenue primarily include the Major League Central Fund and distributions from various licensing agreements. Mixed-Use Development revenue. Revenue from Braves Holdings’ minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective lease agreements. Some retail tenants are required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease term. Overage rents are only recognized when each tenant’s sales II-47 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 exceed the applicable sales threshold. Tenants reimburse Braves Holdings for a substantial portion of Braves Holdings operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and property insurance. Braves Holdings accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Braves Holdings recognizes differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over each annual period. Parking revenue is recognized daily based on actual usage. Cost of Sirius XM Holdings Services Revenue Share Sirius XM Holdings shares a portion of its subscription revenue earned from self-pay subscribers with certain automakers. The terms of the revenue share agreements vary with each automaker, but are typically based upon the earned audio revenue as reported or gross billed audio revenue. Revenue share on self-pay revenue is recognized as an expense and recorded in revenue share and royalties in our consolidated statements of operations. Sirius XM Holdings also pays revenue share to certain talent on non-music stations on its satellite radio service and to podcast talent based on advertising revenue for the related channel or podcast. Revenue share on non-music channels and podcasts is recognized in Revenue share and royalties when it is earned. In some cases, Sirius XM Holdings pays minimum guarantees for revenue share to podcast owners which is recorded in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The minimum guarantee is recognized in revenue share and royalties primarily on a straight line basis over the contractual term. The prepaid balance is regularly reviewed for recoverability and any amount not deemed to be recoverable is recognized as an expense in the period. Royalties In connection with its businesses, Sirius XM Holdings must enter into royalty arrangements with two sets of rights holders: holders of musical compositions copyrights (that is, the music and lyrics) and holders of sound recordings copyrights (that is, the actual recording of a work). The Sirius XM and Pandora businesses use both statutory and direct music licenses as part of their businesses. Sirius XM Holdings licenses varying rights – such as performance and mechanical rights – for use in its Sirius XM and Pandora businesses based on the various radio and interactive services they offer. The music rights licensing arrangements for the Sirius XM and Pandora businesses are complex. Sirius XM Holdings pays performance royalties for its Sirius XM and Pandora businesses to holders and rights administrators of musical compositions copyrights, including performing rights organizations and other copyright owners. These performance royalties are based on agreements with performing rights organizations which represent the holders of these performance rights. The Sirius XM and Pandora businesses have arrangements with these performance rights organizations. Arrangements with Sirius XM generally include fixed payments during the term of the agreement and arrangements with Pandora for its ad-supported radio service have variable payments based on usage and ownership of a royalty pool. Pandora must also license reproduction rights, which are also referred to as mechanical rights, to offer the interactive features of the Pandora services. For Pandora subscription services, copyright holders receive payments for these rights at the rates determined in accordance with the statutory license set forth in Section 115 of the U.S. Copyright Act (the “Copyright Act”). These mechanical royalties are calculated as the greater of a percentage of Sirius XM Holdings’ revenue or a percentage of its payments to record labels. For Sirius XM Holdings’ non-interactive satellite radio or streaming services, it may license sound recordings under direct licenses with the owners of sound recordings or based on the royalty rate established by the CRB. For Sirius XM, the royalty rate for sound recordings has been set by the CRB. The revenue subject to royalty includes subscription revenue from Sirius XM Holdings’ U.S. satellite digital audio radio subscribers, and advertising revenue from channels other than those channels that make only incidental performances of sound recordings. The rates and terms permit Sirius II-48 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 XM to reduce the payment due each month for those sound recordings that are separately licensed and sound recordings that are directly licensed from copyright owners and exclude from its revenue certain other items, such as royalties paid to Sirius XM for intellectual property, sales and use taxes, bad debt expense and generally revenue attributable to areas of Sirius XM’s business that do not involve the use of copyrighted sound recordings. Pandora has entered into direct license agreements with major and independent music labels and distributors for a significant majority of the sound recordings that stream on the Pandora ad-supported service, Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium. For sound recordings that Pandora streams and for which it has not entered into a direct license agreement with the sound recording rights holders, the sound recordings are streamed pursuant to the statutory royalty rates set by the CRB. Pandora pays royalties to owners of sound recordings on either a per-performance fee based on the number of sound recordings transmitted or a percentage of revenue associated with the applicable service. Certain of these agreements also require Pandora to pay a per subscriber minimum amount. Programming Costs Programming costs which are for a specified number of events are amortized on an event-by-event basis; programming costs which are for a specified season or include programming through a dedicated channel are amortized over the season or period on a straight-line basis. Sirius XM Holdings allocates a portion of certain programming costs which are related to sponsorship and marketing activities to selling, general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Cost of Formula 1 Revenue Cost of Formula 1 revenue consists of team payments, costs of promoting, organizing and delivering the Las Vegas Grand Prix, hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of hospitality offerings at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the Paddock Club at other Events, and costs incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical services. Other costs of Formula 1 revenue also include sponsorship and digital product sales’ commissions, circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities, annual Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (“FIA”) regulatory fees, Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars, parts and maintenance services, costs related to the new F1 Academy series, television production and post-production services, advertising production services and digital and social media activities. These costs are largely variable in nature and typically relate directly to revenue opportunities. Subscriber Acquisition Costs Subscriber acquisition costs consist of costs incurred to acquire new subscribers which include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers, including subsidies paid to automakers who include a satellite radio and a prepaid subscription to Sirius XM service in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; subsidies paid for chipsets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chipsets; commissions paid to retailers and automakers as incentives to purchase, install and activate radios; product warranty obligations; freight; and provisions for inventory allowance attributable to inventory consumed in Sirius XM Holdings’ automotive and retail distribution channels. Subscriber acquisition costs do not include advertising costs, loyalty payments to distributors and dealers of radios and revenue share payments to automakers and retailers of radios. Subsidies paid to radio manufacturers and automakers are expensed upon installation, shipment, receipt of product or activation and are included in subscriber acquisition costs because Sirius XM Holdings is responsible for providing the service to the customers. Commissions paid to retailers and automakers are expensed upon either the sale or activation of radios. Chipsets that are shipped to radio manufacturers and held on consignment are recorded as inventory and expensed II-49 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 as subscriber acquisition costs when placed into production by radio manufacturers. Costs for chipsets are expensed as subscriber acquisition costs when the automaker confirms receipt. Advertising Costs Advertising expense aggregated $ 449 million, $ 537 million and $ 532 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advertising costs are primarily attributable to costs incurred by Sirius XM Holdings. Media-related advertising costs are expensed when advertisements air, and advertising production costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising production costs include expenses related to marketing and retention activities, including expenses related to direct mail, outbound telemarketing and email communications. Sirius XM Holdings also incurs advertising production costs related to cooperative marketing and promotional events and sponsorships. These costs are reflected in the selling, general and administrative expenses line in our consolidated statements of operations. Stock-Based Compensation As more fully described in note 14, Liberty has granted to its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, “Awards”). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an Award based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). Included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are the following amounts of stock-based compensation: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ 2023 2022 2021 ​ ​ amounts in millions Cost of Sirius XM Holdings services: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Programming and content ​ $ 34 34 33 ​ Customer service and billing ​ 5 6 6 ​ Other ​ 6 6 6 ​ Other operating expense ​ 46 39 36 ​ Selling, general and administrative ​ 141 152 175 ​ ​ ​ $ 232 237 256 ​ ​ Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more likely than not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any accrual of II-50 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Earnings Attributable to Liberty Stockholders Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, including any necessary adjustments to earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) which removes the separation models for convertible debt with cash conversion or beneficial conversion features and also requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share as the treasury stock method is no longer permitted for convertible instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach, which does not require retrospective adjustment of prior period EPS, and recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 decreased diluted earnings attributable to Liberty SiriusXM stockholders per common share by $ 0.27 per share and decreased diluted earnings attributable to Liberty Formula One stockholders per common share by $ 0.06 per share for the year ended December 31, 2022. Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty SiriusXM Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following WASO. Excluded from diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are 26 million, 25 million and 19 million potentially dilutive shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ number of shares in millions ​ Basic WASO 327 ​ 328 ​ 335 ​ Potentially dilutive shares (a) 16 ​ 17 ​ 2 ​ Diluted WASO (b) 343 ​ 345 ​ 337 ​ (a) Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during periods in which net losses attributable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group are reported since the result would be antidilutive. (b) For periods in which share settlement of the 2.125 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 and 2.75 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, which could have been settled in shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, and 3.75 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, which may be settled in shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instruments during the period, net of tax where appropriate. As disclosed in note 9, the settlement of the 2.125 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 changed to solely cash, pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into during February 2023. Accordingly, the impact of share settlement of the 2.125 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 was considered for purposes of calculating diluted WASO prior to the execution of the supplemental indenture. ​ II-51 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Additionally, a hypothetical mark to market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock included in the Securities Basket (as defined in note 9) underlying the warrants was included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would have been more dilutive than share settlement. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Basic earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty SiriusXM stockholders $ 829 ​ 1,292 ​ 599 ​ Adjustments ​ 1 ​ ( 31 ) ​ — ​ Diluted earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty SiriusXM stockholders $ 830 ​ 1,261 ​ 599 ​ ​ Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following WASO. Excluded from diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are 4 million, 6 million and 5 million potentially dilutive shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ number of shares in millions ​ Basic WASO 234 233 ​ 232 ​ Potentially dilutive shares (a) 6 11 ​ 8 ​ Diluted WASO (b) 240 244 ​ 240 ​ (a) Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS during periods in which net losses attributable to the Formula One Group are reported since the result would be antidilutive. (b) As described in note 2, the Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Formula One Group was settled and extinguished on July 12, 2023. The intergroup interest was a quasi-equity interest which was not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty SiriusXM Group had an attributed value in the Formula One Group which is generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to its interest in the Formula One Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Liberty Formula One common stock underlie the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market price of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment through the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. The notional shares representing the intergroup interest had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interest is dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interest to fair value during the period. II-52 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 For periods in which share settlement of the 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, which may be settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instrument during the period, net of tax where appropriate. Additionally, an adjustment was also made to the numerator for a hypothetical mark to market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock included in the Securities Basket (as defined in note 9) underlying the warrants in periods in which cash settlement would be more dilutive than share settlement. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Basic earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Formula One stockholders $ 185 ​ 558 ​ ( 190 ) ​ Adjustments ​ ( 37 ) ​ ( 34 ) ​ 112 ​ Diluted earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Formula One stockholders $ 148 ​ 524 ​ ( 78 ) ​ ​ Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Live Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following WASO.

(b) As described in note 2, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group were settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off. The intergroup interests were quasi-equity interests that were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group had attributed values in the Braves Group which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to their interests in the Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock was underlying the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were historically used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively, through the unaudited attributed consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Split-Off, shares of ABH Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Following such determination, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The notional shares representing the intergroup interests had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interests were dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interests to fair value during the period. Additionally, prior to the Split-Off, a hypothetical mark-to-market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock included in the Securities Basket (as defined in note 9) underlying the warrants was included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would be more dilutive than share settlement. II-54 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Additionally, a hypothetical mark to market adjustment on the shares of Series A Liberty Braves common stock included in the Securities Basket (as defined in note 9) underlying the warrants was included in the numerator adjustment in periods in which cash settlement of the warrants would be more dilutive than share settlement. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ January 1, 2023 to ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ July 18, 2023 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Basic earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Braves stockholders $ ( 111 ) ​ ( 35 ) ​ ( 11 ) ​ Adjustments ​ — ​ — ​ 31 ​ Diluted earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Braves stockholders $ ( 111 ) ​ ( 35 ) ​ 20 ​ ​ ​ Reclasses and Adjustments Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current year presentation. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i) fair value measurement of non-financial instruments, (ii) accounting for income taxes and (iii) the determination of the useful life of Sirius XM Holdings’ broadcast/transmission system to be its most significant estimates. The Company holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, the Company relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that the Company uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, the Company relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates’ independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures (“ASU 2023-02”), to allow reporting entities to elect to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program by tax-credit-program basis to account for tax equity investments that generate income tax credits. The proportional amortization method results in the cost of the investment being amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received, with the amortization of the investment and the income tax credits being presented net in the income statement as a component of income tax (expense) benefit. ASU 2023-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2023-02 on January 1, 2024 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-02 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-02 on our existing investments to materially impact our financial position or results of operations. Sirius XM Holdings intends to apply the proportional amortization method to a tax equity II-55 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 investment that it made subsequent to December 31, 2023. Sirius XM Holdings expects to record an asset for its initial investment and unfunded future commitments and a corresponding liability for the unfunded future commitments. The asset will be amortized in proportion to the income tax benefits received. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through additional disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the disclosure requirements related to ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the disclosure requirements related to ASU 2023-09. ​ (4) Supplemental Disclosures to Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ 2023 2022 2021 ​ amounts in millions Cash paid for acquisitions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair value of assets acquired $ — 25 ( 1 ) ​ Intangibles not subject to amortization ( 1 ) 98 30 ​ Intangibles subject to amortization — 20 — ​ Net liabilities assumed — ( 4 ) ( 11 ) ​ Deferred tax liabilities 1 ( 3 ) ( 1 ) ​ Fair value of equity consideration ​ — ​ — ​ ( 3 ) ​ Cash paid (received) for acquisitions, net of cash acquired $ — 136 14 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized $ 738 656 607 ​ Cash paid for income taxes, net $ 203 168 97 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-cash investing and financing activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Settlement of debt obligations with equity securities $ 61 ​ — ​ — ​ Stock repurchased by subsidiary not yet settled $ — ​ 8 ​ 11 ​ ​ II-56 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 ​ The following table reconciles cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in our consolidated balance sheets to the total amount presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ amounts in millions ​ Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,019 2,246 ​ 2,814 ​ Restricted cash included in other current assets — 22 ​ 88 ​ Restricted cash included in other assets ​ 9 ​ 8 ​ 22 ​ Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period $ 2,028 ​ 2,276 ​ 2,924 ​ ​ ​ ​ (5) Restructurings During the year ended December 31, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings initiated measures to pursue greater efficiency and to realign its business and focus on strategic priorities. As part of these measures, Sirius XM Holdings reduced the size of its workforce by approximately 475 roles, or 8 %, and recorded a charge of $ 34 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to severance and other related costs. Sirius XM Holdings also recorded impairments of $ 15 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to terminated software projects. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings vacated two of its leased locations and recorded impairments of $ 12 million to reduce the carrying value of the related right of use assets to their estimated fair value and accrued expenses of $ 3 million for which it will not recognize any future economic benefits during the year ended December 31, 2023. These charges were recorded to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Sirius XM Holdings evaluated its office space needs and, as a result of such analyses, vacated certain office spaces. Sirius XM Holdings assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the operating lease right of use assets related to these locations and recorded impairments of $ 16 million and $ 18 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of the operating lease right of use assets to their respective fair values. The fair values of the assets were determined using a discounted cash flow model based on Sirius XM Holdings management's assumptions regarding the ability to sublease the locations and the remaining term of the leases. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings wrote off $ 5 million of property and equipment located at the impaired office spaces and during the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings accrued expenses of $ 6 million for which it will not recognize any future economic benefits and wrote off leasehold improvements of $ 1 million. These charges were recorded to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Separately, during the year ended December 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings performed an analysis surrounding initiatives that it is no longer pursuing and recorded an impairment of $ 43 million associated with terminated software projects and an impairment of $ 6 million related to personnel severance. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings sold real estate as part of an evaluation of its property needs and recognized a $ 4 million gain on the sale during the year ended December 31, 2022. These costs and gain on the real estate sale are included in impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. ​ II-57 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (6) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have any recurring assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3. Liberty’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ ​ ​ Quoted prices Significant other ​ Quoted prices Significant other ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ in active markets ​ observable ​ ​ ​ in active markets ​ observable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for identical assets ​ inputs ​ ​ ​ for identical assets ​ inputs Description ​ Total ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ Total ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ ​ amounts in millions Cash equivalents $ 1,142 1,142 — 2,026 2,026 — Debt and equity securities ​ $ 113 113 — 80 80 — ​ Financial instrument assets ​ $ 141 117 24 393 86 307 ​ Debt ​ $ 3,059 — 3,059 3,331 — 3,331 ​ Financial instrument liabilities ​ $ 13 ​ — ​ 13 ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ ​ The majority of Liberty’s Level 2 financial instruments are debt related instruments and derivative instruments. These assets and liabilities are not always traded publicly or not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs or a trading price of a similar asset or liability is utilized. The fair value of debt related instruments are based on quoted market prices but not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined by GAAP. Accordingly, those debt and equity securities, financial instruments and debt or debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. Debt and equity securities included in the table above are included in the Other assets line item in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other assets line item in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, $ 219 million and $ 174 million of financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the Other current assets and Other assets line items, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, $ 8 million and $ 5 million of financial instrument liabilities included in the table above are included in the Other current liabilities and Other liabilities line items, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. II-58 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments, net Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following (amounts in millions): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ 2023 2022 2021 Debt and equity securities ​ $ 12 ( 7 ) 204 ​ Debt measured at fair value (a) ​ ( 259 ) 717 ( 886 ) ​ Change in fair value of bond hedges (b) ​ ​ ( 114 ) ​ ( 236 ) ​ 193 ​ Other ​ 38 125 38 ​ ​ ​ $ ( 323 ) 599 ( 451 ) ​ (a) The Company elected to account for its exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and convertible notes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the exchangeable senior debentures and cash convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a gain of $ 18 million, loss of $ 4 million and loss of $ 107 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 18 million of previously unrecognized gains related to the retirement of the 1 % Convertible Notes (defined below), the 2.125 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, the Convertible Notes and the 0.5 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 , which was recognized through other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The cumulative change since issuance was a gain of $ 64 million as of December 31, 2023, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses. (b) Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Liberty entered into privately negotiated cash convertible note hedges, which were expected to offset potential cash payments Liberty would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes. The bond hedges were marked to market based on the trading price of underlying securities and other observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). See note 9 for additional discussion of the Convertible Notes and the bond hedges .

(“Sirius XM Canada”). Sirius XM Canada is accounted for as an equity method investment as Sirius XM Holdings does not have the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact Sirius XM Canada’s economic performance. On March 15, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings and Sirius XM Canada entered into an amended and restated services and distribution agreement, pursuant to which, the fee payable by Sirius XM Canada to Sirius XM Holdings was modified from a fixed percentage of revenue to a variable fee, based on a target operating profit for Sirius XM Canada. Such variable fee is evaluated annually based on comparable companies and is payable on a monthly basis, in arrears. Sirius XM Holdings extended a loan to Sirius XM Canada. The principal amount outstanding on the loan was $ 8 million as of December 31, 2023. Sirius XM Holdings had approximately $ 36 million and $ 42 million in related party current assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At December 31, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings had approximately $ 8 million in related party liabilities, which are recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Sirius XM Holdings recorded approximately $ 104 million, $ 111 million and $ 101 million in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, associated with these various agreements. Sirius XM Canada paid dividends to Sirius XM Holdings of $ 1 million, $ 9 million and $ 2 million during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. SoundCloud In February 2020, Sirius XM Holdings completed a $ 75 million investment in Series G Membership Units of SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”). The Series G Units are convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of ordinary membership units of SoundCloud at a ratio of one ordinary membership unit for each Series G Unit. The investment in SoundCloud is accounted for as an equity method investment as Sirius XM Holdings does not have the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact SoundCloud's economic performance. In addition to Sirius XM Holdings’ investment in SoundCloud, Pandora has an agreement with SoundCloud to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries. Through this arrangement, Pandora offers advertisers the ability to execute campaigns in the U.S. across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. Sirius XM Holdings recorded revenue share expense related to this agreement of $ 54 million, $ 55 million and $ 60 million during years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Sirius XM Holdings also had related party liabilities of $ 20 million and $ 19 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to this agreement.

Borrowings outstanding under the incremental term loan bore interest at a rate of 6.49 % and 5.36 % per annum as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. On January 26, 2024, Sirius XM entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility which provides for certain changes to the Credit Agreement, including the addition of a $ 1.1 billion incremental term loan. Formula 1 Loans On November 23, 2022, Formula 1 refinanced its previous $ 2.9 billion first lien Term Loan B and $ 500 million revolving credit facility with a new $ 725 million first lien Term Loan A, a refinanced $ 1.7 billion Term Loan B and a new $ 500 million revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Senior Loan Facility”). The Term Loan A and revolving credit facility mature on January 15, 2028 and the Term Loan B matures on January 15, 2030. As of December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the $ 500 million revolving credit facility. The margin for the Term Loan B, originally set at 3.25 %, stepped down to 3.00 % effective May 5, 2023, after a certain leverage test was met as of March 31, 2023. Formula 1 repriced the Term Loan B on October 4, 2023, reducing the margin to 2.25 %. The margin for the Term Loan A and revolving credit facility is between 1.50 % and 2.25 % depending on leverage ratios, amongst other things, and was fixed at 1.75 % for the first year and reduced to 1.5 % effective November 24, 2023. The reference rate for the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and dollar borrowings under the revolving credit facility is Term SOFR. The interest rate on the Senior Loan Facility was approximately 7.38 % and 7.12 % as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Senior Loan Facility remains non-recourse to Liberty Media. The Senior Loan Facility is secured by share pledges and floating charges over Formula 1’s primary operating companies with certain cross guarantees. Additionally, in order to manage the interest rate risk of its $ 2.4 billion Senior Loan Facility, Formula 1 had $ 2.1 billion of interest rate swaps that expired on December 31, 2023, and has $ 1.7 billion of interest rate swaps, effective December 31, 2023, with a termination date in December 2029 and an optional early termination date in December 2027. Debt Covenants The Sirius XM Holdings Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants related to Sirius XM Holdings’ leverage ratio. The Formula 1 Senior Loan Facility contains certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio. Additionally, Sirius XM Holdings’ Credit Facility, Formula 1 debt and other borrowings contain certain non-financial covenants. As of December 31, 2023, the Company, Sirius XM Holdings and Formula 1 were in compliance with all debt covenants. ​ II-72 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Fair Value of Debt The fair values, based on quoted market prices of the same instruments but not considered to be active markets (Level 2), of Sirius XM Holdings’ publicly traded debt securities, not reported at fair value, are as follows (amounts in millions): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2023 Sirius XM 3.125 % Senior Notes due 2026 ​ $ 932 ​ Sirius XM 5.0 % Senior Notes due 2027 ​ $ 1,444 ​ Sirius XM 4.0 % Senior Notes due 2028 ​ $ 1,827 ​ Sirius XM 5.50 % Senior Notes due 2029 ​ $ 1,202 ​ Sirius XM 4.125 % Senior Notes due 2030 ​ $ 1,326 ​ Sirius XM 3.875 % Senior Notes due 2031 ​ $ 1,277 ​ ​ Due to the variable rate nature of the Credit Facility, margin loans and other debt, the Company believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value at December 31, 2023.

The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single component and does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are those leases with a term of twelve months or less or leases with non-consecutive periods of use that total twelve months or less at the lease commencement date. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 19 years , some of which may include the option to extend for up to 5 years , and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $ 1,062 million for federal, state and foreign net operating losses (“NOLs”), interest expense carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Of this amount, the Company has $ 15 million of federal NOLs, $ 181 million of state NOLs, $ 74 million of federal interest expense carryforwards, $ 18 million of federal tax credit carryforwards, $ 104 million of state tax credit carryforwards, $ 294 million of foreign NOLs and $ 316 million of foreign interest expense carryforwards that may be carried forward indefinitely. The remaining $ 60 million of carryforwards expire at certain future dates. These losses, interest carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards are expected to be utilized prior to expiration, except for $ 96 million, which, based on current projections, will not be utilized in the future and are subject to a valuation allowance. II-78 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ amounts in millions Balance at beginning of year ​ $ 198 179 432 ​ Decrease for tax positions of prior years ​ ( 60 ) ( 17 ) ( 2 ) ​ Increase (decrease) in tax positions for current year ​ ​ 29 ​ 31 ​ ( 10 ) ​ Increase in tax positions from prior years ​ 4 5 9 ​ Settlements with tax authorities ​ ​ — ​ — ​ ( 250 ) ​ Balance at end of year ​ $ 171 198 179 ​ ​ As of December 31, 2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits and uncertain tax positions of $ 171 million. If such tax benefits were to be recognized for financial statement purposes, approximately $ 171 million would be reflected in the Company’s tax expense and affect its effective tax rate. We do not currently anticipate that our existing reserves related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 will significantly increase or decrease during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2024; however, various events could cause our current expectations to change in the future. The Company’s estimate of its unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions requires a high degree of judgment. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s tax years prior to 2020 are closed for federal income tax purposes, and the IRS has completed its examination of the Company’s 2020 tax year. However, 2020 remains open until the statute of limitations lapses on October 15, 2024. The Company’s 2021 tax year is not under audit, but remains open until the statute of limitations lapses on October 15, 2025. The Company’s 2022 and 2023 tax years are currently under examination as part of the IRS Compliance Assurance program. Various states are currently examining the Company’s prior years’ state income tax returns. We do not expect the ultimate disposition of these audits to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 8 million in accrued interest and penalties recorded related to uncertain tax positions. On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings governing the allocation of consolidated U.S. income tax liabilities and setting forth agreements with respect to other tax matters. The tax sharing agreement was negotiated by the Company with a special committee of Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors, all of whom are independent of the Company, and approved by the executive committee of Liberty’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The tax sharing agreement contains provisions that the Company believes are customary for tax sharing agreements between members of a consolidated group. Under the Internal Revenue Code, two eligible corporations may form a consolidated tax group, and file a consolidated federal income tax return, if one corporation owns stock representing at least 80% of the voting power and value of the outstanding capital stock of the other corporation. Following the closing of the share exchange on November 3, 2021, as described in note 1, Liberty owned greater than 80 % of the outstanding equity interest of Sirius XM Holdings, and, as a result, Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings became members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. On November 1, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings entered into (i) an agreement with Liberty whereby Liberty agreed not to effect any merger with Sirius XM Holdings pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor to such statute) without obtaining the prior approval of a special committee of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, all of whom are independent of Liberty (the “Special Committee”) (or any successor special II-79 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 committee of Sirius XM Holdings’ independent and disinterested directors) and (ii) an agreement regarding certain tax matters relating to the exchange. Each of these agreements was negotiated by the Special Committee with Liberty. (12) Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock Liberty’s preferred stock is issuable, from time to time, with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such preferred stock adopted by the Board of Directors.

Each share of Series B common stock is exchangeable at the option of the holder for one share of Series A common stock of the same group. All series of our common stock participate on an equal basis with respect to dividends and distributions. Purchases of Common Stock During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $ 141 million, 7.7 million shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $ 359 million and 1.2 million shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $ 55 million under the authorized repurchase program.

There were no repurchases of Series A Liberty Braves common stock and no repurchases of Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Liberty Formula One common stock during the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the year ended December 31, 2023. Dividends Declared by Subsidiary During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings declared a cash dividend each quarter, and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $ 268 million, of which Liberty received $ 210 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings declared quarterly dividends and a special dividend and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $ 1,339 million, of which Liberty received $ 1,090 million. II-80 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings declared a cash dividend each quarter, and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $ 383 million, of which Liberty received $ 318 million. On January 24, 2024, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock in the amount of $ 0.0266 per share of common stock, payable on February 23, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 9, 2024. Liberty received $ 85 million related to this dividend. Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation In November 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Media Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), formed Liberty Media Acquisition Corporation (“LMAC”) and ultimately purchased approximately 14.4 million shares of LMAC Series F common stock (“Founder Shares”). On January 26, 2021, LMAC consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 57.5 million units (the “Units”), including 7.5 million Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. Each Unit consisted of one share of Series A common stock of LMAC and one -fifth of one redeemable warrant of LMAC. The Units were sold at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to LMAC of $ 575 million, which were placed in a U.S.-based trust account. Substantially concurrent with the IPO, LMAC completed the private placement of 10 million warrants to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 15 million (“Private Placement Warrants”). The Company, through the Sponsor’s ownership of the Founder Shares, owned 20 % of LMAC’s issued and outstanding common stock. The Founder Shares had certain governance rights which allow the Company to control LMAC’s affairs, policies and operations through the initial business combination and therefore the Company consolidated LMAC post-IPO. LMAC’s Series A common stock, issued as part of the Units in the IPO, had certain provisions which allowed the holder to put back the stock to LMAC upon an initial business combination at their election. This conditional redemption feature required the Company to account for those shares that were subject to potential redemption as redeemable noncontrolling interests which required temporary equity classification (outside of permanent equity). LMAC employed a broad set of search criteria for potential target business combinations, however, LMAC’s management observed what it believes were high valuations in 2021, a declining IPO market in 2022, and significant public and private market volatility, which prevented LMAC from securing an opportunity that it believed would offer a compelling return on investment for its stockholders. In light of these circumstances, LMAC determined that it was not feasible to complete an initial business combination in advance of the contractual termination date of January 26, 2023. As a result, on November 14, 2022, stockholders of LMAC approved an amendment to LMAC’s certificate of incorporation which allowed LMAC to unwind and redeem all of its outstanding public shares prior to December 30, 2022. The redemption was completed during December 2022 and LMAC was subsequently dissolved. The Company’s interest in LMAC was attributed to the Formula One Group. Transactions and ownership interests with the Sponsor eliminated upon consolidation. ​ (13) Related Party Transactions with Officers and Directors Chief Executive Officer Compensation Arrangement In December 2019, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Liberty approved a compensation arrangement (the “CEO Arrangement”) for the CEO. Also in December 2019, each of the Service Companies executed an amendment to each Service Company’s services agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which components of the CEO’s II-81 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 compensation described below are either paid directly to the CEO by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case based on allocations among Liberty and each of the Service Companies set forth in the service agreement amendments. This allocation percentage will be determined based on a combination of (1) relative market capitalizations, weighted 50 %, and (2) a blended average of historical time allocation on a Liberty-wide and CEO basis, weighted 50 %, in each case, absent agreement to the contrary by Liberty and the Service Companies in consultation with the CEO. The allocation percentage will then be adjusted annually and following certain events. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the allocation percentage for Liberty was 54 %, 49 % and 41 %, respectively. The CEO Arrangement provides for a five year employment term which began on January 1, 2020 and ends December 31, 2024, with an annual base salary of $ 3 million (with no contracted increase), a one-time cash commitment bonus of $ 5 million (paid in December 2019) and an annual target cash performance bonus of $ 17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s Compensation Committee), upfront equity awards and annual equity awards (as described below). The CEO was entitled to receive term equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value (“GDFV”) of $ 90 million (the “Upfront Awards”) which were granted in two equal tranches. The first tranche consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from TripCo (collectively, the “2019 term awards”) that vested, in each case, on December 31, 2023 (except TripCo’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vested on December 15, 2023), subject to the CEO’s continued employment, except under certain circumstances. Liberty’s portion of the 2019 term awards, granted in December 2019, had an aggregate GDFV of $ 19,800,000 and consisted of stock options to purchase 927,334 Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock shares, 313,342 Series C Liberty Braves common stock shares and 588,954 Series C Formula One common stock shares, with exercise prices of $ 47.11 , $ 29.10 and $ 43.85 , respectively. The second tranche of the Upfront Awards consisted of time-vested stock options from each of Liberty, Qurate Retail, Liberty Broadband and GCI Liberty and time-vested restricted stock units from TripCo (collectively, the “2020 term awards”) that vest, in each case, on December 31, 2024 (except TripCo’s award of time-vested restricted stock units, which vests on December 7, 2024), subject to the CEO’s continued employment, except under certain circumstances. Liberty’s portion of the 2020 term awards, granted in December 2020, had an aggregate GDFV of $ 19,107,000 and consisted of stock options to purchase 665,140 Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock shares, 352,224 Series C Liberty Braves common stock shares and 544,508 Series C Formula One common stock shares, with exercise prices of $ 42.13 , $ 26.36 and $ 43.01 , respectively. Beginning in 2020, the CEO received annual equity award grants with an annual aggregate GDFV of $ 17.5 million, consisting of time-vested options and/or performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). The CEO elected the portions of his annual equity awards that he desired to be issued in the form of options, PRSUs or a combination of both. The annual equity awards were allocated across Liberty and each of the Service Companies. Vesting of any of these annual PRSUs will be subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the applicable company with respect to its respective allocable portion of the annual PRSUs. At Liberty, the CEO’s annual equity awards were issued with respect to Series C Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Braves and Formula One common stock. The CEO will be entitled to payments and benefits if his employment is terminated, subject to the execution of releases. Such payments and benefits generally will take the form of cash payments, issuance of fully vested shares and the acceleration of unvested equity awards, depending on the type of termination. In the event that the CEO’s services to a Service Company are discontinued and he remains employed by Liberty following such discontinuation (unless such discontinuation is for cause (as defined in his employment agreement)), the Service Company will be required to make a termination payment to Liberty, as well as provide the CEO with certain payments and benefits upon termination under certain circumstances.

Malone (the Chairman of the Board of the Company), and a revocable trust of which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and beneficiary (the “JM Trust”) (the “Exchange Agreement”), whereby, among other things, Mr. Malone agreed to an arrangement under which his aggregate voting power in the Company would not exceed 49 % (the “Target Voting Power”) plus 0.5 % (under certain circumstances). The Exchange Agreement provides for exchanges by the Company and Mr. Malone or the JM Trust of shares of Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Series B Liberty Live common stock or Series B Liberty Formula One common stock for shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Series C Liberty Live common stock or Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, in connection with certain events, including (i) any event that would result in a reduction in the outstanding votes of any of the Company’s tracking stock groups (each, a “Group”) or an increase of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power in any Group (other than a Voting Power Exchange (as defined below)) (an “Accretive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group would exceed the Target Voting Power plus 0.5 %, (ii) from and after the occurrence of any Accretive Event, any event that would result in an increase in the outstanding votes of any Group or a decrease of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power in any Group (a “Dilutive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group falls below the Target Voting Power less 0.5 %, or (iii) on a quarterly basis or in connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders, upon request by Mr. Malone or the JM Trust, if Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company is less than the Target Voting Power and would continue to be less than the Target Voting Power upon completion of such exchange (a “Voting Power Exchange”). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement contains certain provisions with respect to fundamental events at the Company, meaning any combination, consolidation, merger, exchange offer, split-off, spin-off, rights offering or dividend, in each case, as a result of which holders of Series B common stock of one or more Groups are entitled to receive securities of the Company, securities of another person, property or cash, or a combination thereof. In connection with an Accretive Event with respect to a Group, Mr. Malone or the JM Trust will be required to exchange with the Company shares of Series B common stock of such Group (“Exchanged Group Series B Shares”) for an equal number of shares of Series C common stock of the same Group so as to maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In connection with a Dilutive Event with respect to a Group, Mr. Malone and the JM Trust may exchange with the Company shares of Series C common stock of a Group for an equal number of shares of Series B common stock of the same Group equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Series B common stock of the same Group which would maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power with respect to such Group as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power and (ii) the number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares at such time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In a Voting Power Exchange, the Company will be required to exchange with Mr. Malone and the JM Trust shares of Series B common stock of any Group on a one -for- one basis for shares of Series C common stock of the same Group, with the maximum number of shares of Series B common stock to be delivered to Mr. Malone or the JM Trust equal to the number of Exchanged Group Series B Shares at such time that may be delivered without resulting in Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company exceeding the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, there have been no exchanges of the Company’s shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Chairman’s Employment Agreement On December 12, 2008, the Committee determined to modify its employment arrangements with Mr. Malone, to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving payments in 2009 while he remains employed by the Company (instead of following II-83 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 his termination) in satisfaction of Liberty’s obligations to him under two deferred compensation plans and a salary continuation plan. Under one of the deferred compensation plans (the “ 8 % Plan”), compensation has been deferred by Mr. Malone since January 1, 1993 and accrues interest at the rate of 8 % per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. Under the second plan (the “ 13 % Plan”), compensation was deferred by Mr. Malone from 1982 until December 31, 1992 and accrues interest at the rate of 13 % per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. The amounts owed to Mr. Malone under the 8 % Plan and 13 % Plan aggregated approximately $ 2.4 million and $ 20 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The amount owed to Mr. Malone under his salary continuation plan aggregated approximately $ 39 million at December 31, 2008. Mr. Malone will receive 240 equal monthly installments as follows, which began on February 1, 2009: (1) approximately $ 20,000 under the 8 % Plan; (2) approximately $ 237,000 under the 13 % Plan; and (3) approximately $ 164,000 under the salary continuation plan. Interest ceased to accrue under his salary continuation plan once the payment began. (14) Stock-Based Compensation Liberty—Incentive Plans Liberty grants, to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries, restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to purchase shares of its common stock (collectively, “Awards”). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the GDFV of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date. Pursuant to the Liberty Media Corporation 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), the Company may grant Awards in respect of approximately 21.3 million shares of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Media Corporation common stock plus the shares remaining available for Awards under the prior Liberty Media Corporation 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), as of close of business on May 24, 2022, the effective date of the 2022 Plan. Any forfeited shares from the 2017 Plan shall also be available again under the 2022 Plan. Awards generally vest over 1 - 5 years and have a term of 7 - 10 years . Liberty issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards. In connection with the Formula One Distribution, for Liberty employees, directors, and Formula 1 employees, the number of shares subject to stock options of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock as well as the corresponding exercise price were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the Series C Liberty Formula One common stock options and the ratio of the exercise price to the Series C Liberty Formula One common stock market price pre-ex-dividend date. In connection with the Reclassification, and with respect to Liberty employees and directors, each holder of an outstanding option award to purchase shares of Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM or Liberty Formula One received a new option award to purchase shares of Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM or Liberty Formula One, respectively, along with new option awards to purchase Series C Liberty Live common stock with appropriate adjustments being made to determine the number of shares and applicable exercise price subject to each such award after giving effect to the Reclassification. These adjustments were designed to preserve the intrinsic value and the ratio of the exercise price to market price associated with each original Series C common stock of Liberty SiriusXM or Liberty Formula One option award prior to the Reclassification. In connection with the Reclassification, and with respect to Formula 1 employees, each holder of an outstanding option award to purchase shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock received a new option award to purchase shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock with appropriate adjustments being made to determine the number of shares and applicable exercise price subject to each such award after giving effect to the Reclassification. These II-84 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 adjustments were designed to preserve the intrinsic value and the ratio of the exercise price to market price associated with each original Series C Liberty Formula One common stock option award prior to the Reclassification. Liberty—Grants of Awards Awards granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021 are summarized as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Years ended December 31, ​ ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ ​ Options ​ Weighted ​ Options ​ Weighted ​ Options ​ Weighted ​ ​ granted ​ average ​ granted ​ average ​ granted ​ average ​ ​ (000's) ​ GDFV ​ (000's) ​ GDFV ​ (000's) ​ GDFV ​ Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) ​ 19 ​ $ 8.98 ​ 42 ​ $ 13.31 ​ 66 ​ $ 14.54 ​ Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty CEO (2) ​ 370 ​ $ 10.34 ​ 212 ​ $ 14.45 ​ 257 ​ $ 13.73 ​ Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) ​ 246 ​ $ 25.78 ​ 34 ​ $ 23.94 ​ 55 ​ $ 18.79 ​ Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, Liberty CEO (2) ​ — ​ $ — ​ 181 ​ $ 21.31 ​ — ​ $ — ​ Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, Formula 1 employees (3) ​ 71 ​ $ 30.70 ​ 86 ​ $ 21.31 ​ 718 ​ $ 15.96 ​ Series C Liberty Live common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) ​ 74 ​ $ 13.71 ​ NA ​ ​ NA ​ NA ​ ​ NA ​ Series C Liberty Braves common stock, Liberty employees and directors (1) ​ 3 ​ $ 14.24 ​ 10 ​ $ 12.40 ​ 23 ​ $ 9.93 ​ Series C Liberty Braves common stock, Liberty CEO (2) ​ — ​ $ — ​ 95 ​ $ 9.16 ​ — ​ $ — ​ (1) Mainly vests between one and three years for employees and in one year for directors.

See discussion in note 13 regarding the compensation agreement with the Company’s CEO. (3) Grants made in 2023, 2022 and 2021 vested in equal quarterly installments over one year . In addition to the stock option grants to the CEO, and in connection with his employment agreement, the Company granted PRSUs. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021, the Company granted 81 thousand and 65 thousand PRSUs of Series C common stock of Liberty Formula One, respectively, and 31 thousand PRSUs of Series C common stock of Liberty Braves during each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021 to the CEO. Such PRSUs had a GDFV of $ 75.12 per share and $ 45.88 per share, respectively, and $ 34.44 per share and $ 31.24 per share, respectively, and cliff vest one year from the month of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance objectives and based on an amount determined by the compensation committee. Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is re-measured at each reporting period. The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of Series A or Series B Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One, Liberty Live or Liberty Braves common stock during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For grants made II-85 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, the range of expected terms was 5.3 to 5.6 years. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty’s stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options. The following table presents the ranges of volatilities used by the Company in the Black-Scholes Model for its stock option grants. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Volatility 2023 grants 25.5 % - 37.3 % 2022 grants 25.5 % - 37.4 % 2021 grants 30.9 % - 37.4 % ​ Liberty—Outstanding Awards The following tables present the number and weighted average exercise price (“WAEP”) of options to purchase Liberty common stock granted to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company, as well as the weighted average remaining life and aggregate intrinsic value of the options.

As of December 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Awards was approximately $ 29 million. Such amount will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years. As of December 31, 2023, 5.9 million, 6.6 million and 1.7 million shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Live common stock, respectively, were reserved for issuance under exercise privileges of outstanding stock options. Liberty—Exercises The aggregate intrinsic value of all options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 43 million, $ 84 million and $ 144 million, respectively. Liberty—Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units The Company had approximately 246 thousand, 283 thousand and 84 thousand unvested RSAs and RSUs of Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Live common stock, respectively, held by certain directors, officers and employees of the Company as of December 31, 2023. These Series A and Series C unvested RSAs and RSUs of Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Formula One and Liberty Live common stock had a weighted average GDFV of $ 25.40 , $ 66.51 and $ 34.24 per share, respectively. The aggregate fair value of all RSAs and RSUs of Liberty common stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 9 million, $ 16 million and $ 13 million, respectively. Sirius XM Holdings—Stock-based Compensation During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, Sirius XM Holdings granted various types of stock awards to its employees and members of its board of directors. Stock-based awards are generally subject to a graded vesting II-88 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 requirement, which is generally three to four years from the grant date. Stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. RSUs include PRSUs, the vesting of which are subject to the achievement of performance goals and the employee’s continued employment and generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Sirius XM Holdings calculates the grant-date fair value for all of its equity classified awards and any subsequent remeasurement of its liability classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The weighted average volatility applied to the fair value determination of Sirius XM Holdings’ option grants during 2023, 2022 and 2021 was 32 %, 31 % and 33 %, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings granted approximately 9 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 4.92 per share and a GDFV of $ 1.23 per share. As of December 31, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings has approximately 122 million options outstanding of which approximately 80 million are exercisable, each with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $ 5.60 and $ 5.50 , respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of these outstanding and exercisable options was $ 40 million and $ 36 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings granted approximately 47 million RSUs and PRSUs with a GDFV of $ 4.72 per share. The stock-based compensation related to Sirius XM Holdings stock options and RSAs was $ 184 million, $ 197 million and $ 202 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Sirius XM Holdings stock options was $ 423 million. The Sirius XM Holdings unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years. (15) Employee Benefit Plans Liberty is the sponsor of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Liberty 401(k) Plan”), which provides its employees and the employees of certain of its subsidiaries an opportunity for ownership in the Company and creates a retirement fund. The Liberty 401(k) Plan provides for employees to make contributions to a trust for investment in Liberty common stock, as well as several mutual funds. The Company and its subsidiaries make matching contributions to the Liberty 401(k) Plan based on a percentage of the amount contributed by employees. In addition, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have similar employee benefit plans. Employer cash contributions to all plans aggregated $ 30 million, $ 32 million and $ 35 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (16) Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) included in Liberty’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of equity reflect the aggregate of foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized holding gains and losses on debt and equity securities and Liberty’s share of accumulated other comprehensive earnings of affiliates.

II-90 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is 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, the Company has 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 guarantees. Programming, music royalties and other contractual arrangements Sirius XM Holdings has entered into various programming agreements under which Sirius XM Holdings’ obligations include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings has entered into certain music royalty arrangements that include fixed payments. Amounts due under programming and music royalty agreements are payable as follows: $ 854 million in 2024, $ 663 million in 2025, $ 326 million in 2026, $ 174 million in 2027 and $ 88 million in 2028. Future revenue sharing costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to estimate; therefore, they are not included in the amounts above. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings has entered into agreements related to certain satellite and transmission costs, sales and marketing costs and in-orbit performance payments to the manufacturer of its satellites. Amounts due under these agreements are payable as follows: $ 396 million in 2024, $ 238 million in 2025, $ 112 million in 2026, $ 49 million in 2027 and $ 3 million in 2028. SXM-7 Satellite During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings recorded an impairment charge of $ 220 million to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries in the consolidated statement of operations related to the total loss of the SXM-7 satellite. Sirius XM Holdings procured insurance for SXM-7 to cover the risks associated with the satellite’s launch and first year of in-orbit operation. The aggregate coverage under the insurance policies with respect to SXM-7 was $ 225 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021 Sirius XM Holdings collected insurance recoveries of $ 225 million. Of this amount, $ 220 million was recorded as a reduction to impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining $ 5 million was recorded in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. SXM-7 remains in-orbit at its assigned orbital location, but is not being used to provide satellite radio service. The SXM-8 satellite was successfully launched into a geostationary orbit on June 6, 2021 and was placed into service on September 8, 2021 following the completion of in-orbit testing. The SXM-8 satellite replaced the XM-3 satellite. As of December 31, 2023, the XM-3 satellite remains available as an in-orbit spare. Litigation The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of the liability accrual and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if II-91 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 any. 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. Vladmir Fishel v. Liberty Media Corporation, et al. On September 23, 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed by a purported Sirius XM Holdings stockholder in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware under the caption Vladmir Fishel v. Liberty Media Corporation, et al. , Case No. 2021-0820. The complaint named as defendants Liberty, the members of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, and Sirius XM Holdings as the nominal defendant. The complaint alleged that the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, including Mr. Gregory B. Maffei, the Chairman of the board of directors of Sirius XM Holdings, Ms. Robin P. Hickenlooper, Mr. David A. Blau and Mr. Evan D. Malone, and Liberty, in its purported capacity as a controlling stockholder, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with approving an upsizing of Sirius XM Holdings’ ongoing repurchase program in July 2021. The complaint also alleged that various relationships among certain members of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors, Mr. John C. Malone and Liberty rendered a majority of the Sirius XM Holdings board of directors not independent from Mr. John C. Malone and Liberty. The complaint sought, among other things, certification of a class action, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining Sirius XM Holdings’ ongoing repurchase program and any further stock purchases, and monetary relief in the form of damages. On February 2, 2022, the plaintiff filed a supplement to the complaint, which included, among other things, a request for a declaratory judgment that any short-form merger under 8 Del. C. § 253 would be subject to judicial review. ​ On September 15, 2023, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a Verified Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint and Supplemental Complaint. ​ On December 8, 2023, and in advance of the expenditure of significant time and costs to prepare for trial in this action, the plaintiff (on behalf of himself and other members of a proposed settlement class) and the defendants entered into an agreement in principle to settle the litigation pursuant to which the parties agreed that the plaintiff will release the claims in the original complaint, the supplemented complaint, and the proposed amended complaint with prejudice, with customary releases, in return for a settlement payment of $ 36 million, a portion of which will be contributed by insurance carriers. The Company recorded a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet and litigation settlement expense within operating income in the consolidated statements of operations of approximately $ 7 million each related to this matter in the fourth quarter of 2023. ​ On January 8, 2024, the parties filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise, and Release. On January 10, 2024, the Court preliminarily certified, solely for purposes of effectuating the proposed settlement, the action as a non-opt out class action on behalf of a settlement class consisting of all holders of Sirius XM Holdings common stock as of close of trading on January 5, 2024, with some limited exceptions. The Court set a settlement hearing for April 8, 2024, to determine whether to permanently certify the class, whether the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate to the settlement class, and whether to enter a judgment dismissing the action with prejudice, among other things. On January 12, 2024, the parties filed a Corrected Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise, and Release. There can be no assurance that this tentative settlement will be finalized and approved by the Court. Pending finalization of the settlement and in the event the settlement is not finalized and approved by the Court, Liberty will continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit. New York State v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. On December 20, 2023, the People of the State of New York, by Letitia James, Attorney General of the State of New York (the “NY AG”), filed a Petition in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Sirius XM Holdings. The Petition alleges various violations of New York law and the federal Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (“ROSCA”) arising out of Sirius XM Holdings’ subscription cancellation practices. The Petition is the product of a subpoena that the NY AG issued in December 2021 seeking documents relating to Sirius XM Holdings’ subscription cancellation practices and the related investigation. In general, the II-92 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 Petition alleges that Sirius XM Holdings requires consumers to devote an excessive amount of time to cancel subscriptions and have not implemented cancellation processes that are simple and efficient. The Petition claims to be brought under certain provisions of New York law that authorize the NY AG to initiate special proceedings seeking injunctive and other equitable relief in cases of persistent business fraud or illegality. The Petition seeks: a permanent injunction from Sirius XM Holdings violating provisions of New York law and ROSCA arising out of the alleged fraudulent, deceptive and illegal practices associated with Sirius XM Holdings’ subscription cancellation procedures; an accounting of each consumer who cancelled, or sought to cancel, a satellite radio subscription, including the duration of the cancel interaction and the funds collected from such consumers after that interaction; monetary restitution and damages to aggrieved consumers; disgorgement of all profits resulting from the alleged illegal, deceptive and fraudulent acts; civil penalties; and the NY AG’s costs. In January 2024, Sirius XM Holdings filed to remove this action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The NY AG has informed the court that it intends to oppose the removal and seek a remand to the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Sirius XM Holdings believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in this action, and intends to defend this action vigorously. U.S. Music Royalty Fee Actions and Mass Arbitrations . A number of class actions and mass arbitrations have commenced against Sirius XM Holdings relating to its pricing, billing and subscription marketing practices. Although each class action and mass arbitration contains unique allegations; in general, the actions and arbitrations allege that Sirius XM Holdings falsely advertised its music subscription plans at lower prices than it actually charges, that Sirius XM Holdings allegedly did not disclose its “U.S. Music Royalty Fee” and that Sirius XM Holdings has taken other actions to prevent customers from discovering the existence, amount and nature of the U.S. Music Royalty Fee in violation of various state consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs and claimants seek to enjoin Sirius XM Holdings from advertising its music subscription plans without specifically disclosing the existence and amount of the U.S. Music Royalty Fee. The plaintiffs and claimants also seek disgorgement, restitution and/or damages in the aggregate amount of U.S Music Royalty Fees paid by customers, as well as statutory and punitive damages where available. To date, the actions and arbitrations filed against Sirius XM Holdings include: • On April 14, 2023, Ayana Stevenson and David Ambrose, individually, as private attorneys general, and on behalf of all other California persons similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Contra Costa. The case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California which compelled arbitration of all claims on November 9, 2023. • On May 17, 2023, Robyn Posternock, Muriel Salters and Philip Munning, individually, as private attorneys general, and on behalf of all other New Jersey persons similarly situated, filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Ms. Salters and Mr. Munning have since withdrawn their claims and a motion to compel arbitration with Ms. Posternock has been fully briefed. • On June 5, 2023, Christopher Carovillano and Steven Brandt, individually, as private attorneys general, and on behalf of all other United States persons similarly situated (excluding persons in the states of California, New Jersey and Washington), filed a class action complaint against Sirius XM Holdings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A motion to dismiss that complaint has been fully briefed. II-93 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 • Commencing on June 5, 2023, the law firm of Hattis & Lukacs filed a series of mass arbitration claims against Sirius XM Holdings before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) on behalf of approximately 23,000 claimants. Currently, only claims for approximately 1,425 claimants in California and New Jersey remain pending before the AAA. The AAA declined to administer the other claims. • Other law firms have since threatened mass arbitration claims against Sirius XM Holdings before the AAA on behalf of approximately 28,000 additional claimants, many of which have added potential causes of action under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. Sirius XM Holdings believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in these actions and arbitrations, and it intends to defend these actions vigorously. ​ (18) Information About Liberty’s Operating Segments The Company, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media and entertainment industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings (losses) represent 10% or more of the Company’s annual pre-tax earnings (loss). Liberty’s chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s reportable segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below). In addition, the Company reviews nonfinancial measures such as subscriber growth, churn and penetration. For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements and restructuring and impairment charges. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition 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. The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices. The Company has identified the following subsidiaries as its reportable segments: ● Sirius XM Holdings is a consolidated subsidiary that operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses, Sirius XM and Pandora and Off-platform. Sirius XM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the U.S. on a subscription fee basis. Sirius XM’s packages include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. The Sirius XM service is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Sirius XM also provides connected vehicle services and a suite of in-vehicle data services. Pandora operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming discovery platform. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service, called Pandora Plus, and an on-demand II-94 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 subscription service, called Pandora Premium. Pandora also sells advertising on other audio platforms in widely distributed podcasts, which are considered to be off-platform services. ● Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. The World Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of events taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies. The significant accounting policies of the segments that are also consolidated subsidiaries are the same as those described in the Company’s summary of significant policies. As of December 31, 2023, Live Nation met the Company’s reportable segment threshold for equity method affiliates. Accordingly, the segment presentation for prior periods has been conformed to current period segment presentation. Although the Company owns less than 100 % of the outstanding shares of Live Nation, 100 % of the Live Nation amounts are included in the tables below and are subsequently eliminated in order to reconcile the account totals to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in note 2, the Company’s investment in Live Nation was reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Liberty Live Group effective August 3, 2023.
