(1)   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Liberty Media Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries (“Liberty,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Liberty, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the motorsport and live entertainment industries, with events held worldwide and operations primarily headquartered in the United Kingdom and Spain. Liberty’s most significant subsidiaries include Delta Topco Limited (the parent company of Formula 1) and MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group, S.L. (formerly, Dorna Sports, S.L.) (“MotoGP”).  

The Company previously had a tracking stock structure. 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. Following the Liberty Live Split-Off (as defined below) and the Reincorporation (as defined further below), the Company’s only remaining outstanding common stock is no longer a tracking stock. References throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to (A) (i) Series A common stock, (ii) Series B common stock and (iii) Series C common stock, in each case, prior to the Reincorporation, refer to (a) Series A Liberty Formula One common stock, (b) Series B Liberty Formula One common stock and (c) Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, and (B) Liberty Media’s common stock prior to the Reincorporation refer to the Liberty Formula One common stock.

On December 15, 2025, the Company completed the split-off (the “Liberty Live Split-Off”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Live Holdings, Inc. (“Liberty Live Holdings”). Liberty Live Holdings was comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Live Group, a tracking stock group. Immediately prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off, QuintEvents, LLC (“QuintEvents”), certain private assets and approximately $172 million of cash were reattributed from Liberty’s other tracking stock group, the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”), to the Liberty Live Group in exchange for certain private assets.

QuintEvents was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company until the Liberty Live Split-Off and remains a related party of the Company following the Liberty Live Split-Off. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $30 million and $60 million, respectively, of revenue from QuintEvents.

Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”) was an equity method affiliate of the Company until the Liberty Live Split-Off. The Company’s investment in Live Nation (including related debt and derivative instruments) and corporate cash and expenses previously attributed to the Liberty Live Group are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See note 2 for details of the Liberty Live Split-Off.

Prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off, the Formula One Group was primarily comprised of Liberty’s interests in Formula 1, MotoGP and QuintEvents, cash and Liberty’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (as defined in note 7). As previously disclosed, QuintEvents, certain private assets and approximately $172 million of cash were reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty Live Group in exchange for certain other private assets immediately prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off.

On May 12, 2026, the Company effected the reincorporation of the Company to the State of Nevada by conversion, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 2026 (the “Reincorporation”).

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared

in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 and (ii) accounting for income taxes to be its most significant estimates.

Liberty has entered into certain agreements to govern its relationships with the following companies, each of which is, or was, a separate publicly traded company: Liberty Capital Corporation (formerly GCI Liberty, Inc.), Liberty Live Holdings, Old QVC Group, Inc. (formerly QVC Group, Inc.), Liberty Broadband Corporation, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings, Inc. (now known as Sirius XM Holdings Inc.) and Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. The agreements have included reorganization agreements, services agreements, facilities sharing agreements, tax sharing agreements and aircraft time sharing agreements. None of these companies has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others. Under these various agreements, approximately $6 million and $3 million of allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $18 million and $12 million of allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Seasonality

Formula 1 recognizes the majority of its revenue and expenses in connection with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile Formula One World Championship (the “F1 Championship”) race events (“Formula 1 Events”) that take place in different countries around the world throughout the year. Formula 1 Events in the past have generally taken place between March and December each year. As a result, the revenue and expenses recognized by Formula 1 are generally lower during the first quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters throughout the year.

MotoGP recognizes the majority of its revenue and expenses in connection with the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (“FIM”) Grand Prix World Championship (the “MotoGP Championship”) race events (“MotoGP Events”) that take place in different countries around the world throughout the year. MotoGP Events in the past have generally taken place between March and November each year. As a result, the revenue and expenses recognized by MotoGP are generally higher during the second and third quarters as compared to the first and fourth quarters.
