(5)   Earnings Attributable to Liberty Media Corporation 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.

Excluded from diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are approximately 6 million and 3 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares of Liberty Live common stock excluded from diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. Excluded

from diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are approximately 6 million and 3 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, 1 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty Live common stock and 4 million and 3 million potentially dilutive shares of Series A and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.
