(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 months ended March 31, 2026 are approximately 2 million potentially dilutive shares of Liberty Formula One common stock because their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares of Liberty Formula One common stock or Liberty Live common stock excluded from diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
