QxH

QxH revenue growth reflects continued demand for home products, growth in customers and favorable customer returns. QxH reported strong growth in home, electronics and accessories, partially offset by a decline in apparel. Beauty and jewelry were essentially flat.

Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin⁽³⁾ increased primarily reflecting lower bad debt expense, leverage of administrative expenses and improved product margins. These gains were partially offset by higher marketing and fulfillment (freight and warehouse) costs.

QVC International

US Dollar denominated results were positively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations, primarily due to the Dollar weakening 9% versus the Euro, 8% against the British Pound and 3% versus the Japanese Yen. The financial metrics presented in this press release also provide a comparison of the percentage change in QVC International's results in constant currency (where applicable) to the comparable figures calculated in accordance with US GAAP for the first quarter of 2021.

QVC International reported constant currency revenue and customer growth in all markets. The business generated gains in every category, led by home, apparel and beauty.

Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily due to leverage of administrative expenses and TV commissions, favorable fulfillment expense and improved product margins. These gains were partially offset by higher incentive compensation accruals and inventory obsolescence expense.

Zulily

Zulily revenue increased on customer growth and broad-based gains across categories, led by home, apparel and beauty. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily due to leverage of administrative expenses and improved product margins. These gains were partially offset by higher fulfillment costs and marketing expense.

Cornerstone

Cornerstone revenue increased primarily due to strong demand in its home brands (Frontgate, Ballard Designs and Grandin Road). Garnet Hill sustained revenue growth in the quarter on the strength of apparel and home textiles. Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily from sales growth and product margin gains, partially offset by higher fulfillment costs.

a)	Indemnity from Liberty Broadband, pursuant to an indemnification agreement with respect to the 1.75% exchangeable debentures due 2046 (the "Charter exchangeable debentures") issued by Liberty Interactive LLC ("LI LLC"), as described in this press release.
b)	Face amount of Senior Notes and Debentures with no reduction for the unamortized discount.
c)	Face amount of Senior Exchangeable Debentures with no reduction for the fair market value adjustment.
d)	Preferred Stock has an 8% coupon, $100 per share initial liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends and is non-voting. It is subject to a mandatory redemption on March 15, 2031. The Preferred Stock is considered a liability for GAAP purposes, and is recorded net of capitalized costs.
e)	As defined in QVC, Inc.'s credit agreement. Includes QxH, QVC International and Zulily.

Cash at Qurate Retail decreased $67 million in the first quarter as investments in cost and equity investments, capital expenditures, TV distribution payments and share repurchases more than offset cash flow from operations, net borrowing and approximately $40 million received from the sale of fixed assets at QVC. Investments in cost and equity investments were elevated in the first quarter primarily due to $78 million contributed to new investments (excluding green energy), primarily an investment in ComScore.

Total debt at Qurate Retail increased $71 million in the first quarter due to borrowing at Zulily under QVC's bank credit facility. QVC's bank credit facility has $75 million drawn as of March 31, 2021 with available capacity of approximately $2,853 million, net of letters of credit. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2023. Qurate Retail is in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2021.

Qurate Retail benefits from an indemnification agreement with Liberty Broadband with respect to its Charter exchangeable debentures. The indemnification agreement compensates Qurate Retail for any payments made in excess of the adjusted principal amount of the debentures to any holder that exercises its exchange right on or before the put/call date of October 5, 2023. This indemnity is supported by a negative pledge in favor of Qurate Retail on the 1.0 million reference shares of Class A common stock of Charter held at Liberty Broadband that underlie the Charter exchangeable debentures. The indemnification asset on Qurate Retail's balance sheet is valued based on the estimated exchange feature in the Charter exchangeable debentures. As of March 31, 2021, a holder of the Charter exchangeable debentures has the ability to exchange and, accordingly, the indemnification asset is included as a current asset in our consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

(NASDAQ:QRTEA, QRTEB, QRTEP))) President and CEO, Mike George, and Executive Chairman, Greg Maffei, will discuss Qurate Retail's earnings release on a conference call which will begin at 8:30 a.m. (E.D.T.) on May 7, 2021.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and Qurate Retail expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Qurate Retail's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Qurate Retail, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), Zulily and Cornerstone together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses' operating income, as determined under GAAP. Qurate Retail defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs and impairments. Further, this press release includes Adjusted OIBDA margin, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Qurate Retail defines Adjusted OIBDA margin as Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.

Qurate Retail believes Adjusted OIBDA 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. Because Adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Qurate Retail views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Qurate Retail's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.

In addition, this press release includes references to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, for Qurate Retail. Qurate Retail defines adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of acquisition accounting amortization (net of deferred tax benefit), mark to market adjustments on certain public debt and equity securities and other one-time adjustments. Qurate Retail defines adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share plus the diluted per share effects of certain adjustments, net of tax.

Qurate Retail believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are important indicators of financial performance due to the impact of purchase accounting amortization, mark to market adjustments and other one-time items identified in Schedule 3 below. Because adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are used as measures of overall financial performance, Qurate Retail views net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are not meant to replace or supersede net income, diluted earnings per share or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with a supplemental metric of financial performance. Please see the attached schedules for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income (loss) and adjusted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share, in each case, calculated in accordance with GAAP for Qurate Retail (Schedule 3).

This press release also references certain financial metrics on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, for Qurate Retail. Constant currency financial metrics, as presented herein, are calculated by translating the current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency.

Qurate Retail believes constant currency financial metrics are an important indicator of financial performance, in particular for QVC, due to the translational impact of foreign currency fluctuations relating to its subsidiaries in the UK, Germany, Italy and Japan. We use constant currency financial metrics to provide a framework to assess how our businesses performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Please see the financial tables at the beginning of this press release for a reconciliation of the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on revenue, operating income, Adjusted OIBDA and average selling price.
