"Although we are encouraged by the progress we are making, deleveraging from our total revenue decline, tariffs and other critical investments, pressured our adjusted OIBDA."

Third quarter 2025 headlines⁽²⁾:

Generated operating income of $60 million
- Operating income decreased 61% in US Dollars and decreased 62% in constant currency

________________________________________________________
a) For a definition of constant currency financial metrics, see the accompanying schedules.

QxH

QxH revenue declined primarily due to a 7% decrease in units shipped and lower shipping and handling revenue, partially offset by favorable returns and a 1% increase in average selling price. QxH reported sales declines in all categories.

Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin^{( 4)} decreased due to higher marketing costs, sales deleverage, higher fulfillment costs and lower product margin partially offset by favorable commission rates. Fulfillment pressure was driven by higher freight costs and sales deleverage. Product margins decreased primarily due to higher promotions and impact from increased tariffs. Operating expenses decreased due to favorable commission rates. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher marketing costs and changes to the management incentive plan partially offset by lower personnel costs.

QVC International

US Dollar denominated results were favorably impacted by exchange rate fluctuations due to the US Dollar weakening 6% against the Euro, 4% against the British pound, and 1% against 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 third quarter of 2024.

QVC International's constant currency revenue declined largely due to a 4% decrease in average selling price and lower shipping and handling revenue. QVC International reported constant currency revenue growth in apparel with declines in all other categories.

Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased due to fulfillment pressure and sales deleverage partially offset by higher product margin. Fulfillment pressure is due to higher variable wage rates in Europe.

Cornerstone

Cornerstone revenue decreased 8% driven by lower units shipped reflecting softness in the home and apparel categories, partially offset by higher average selling price.

Adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily due to sales deleverage and lower product margin partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative costs and lower operating expenses.

________________________________________________________

b)	Face amount of Senior Exchangeable Debentures with no adjustment for the fair market value adjustment.
c)	Preferred Stock has an 8% coupon (subject to step up for dividend nonpayment; current coupon is 9.5%), $100 per share initial liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends and is non-voting. It is subject to mandatory redemption on March 15, 2031. The Preferred Stock is considered a liability for GAAP purposes, and is recorded net of capitalized costs.

Cash at QVC Group increased $920 million in the third quarter due to net borrowings and cash from operations, partially offset by capital expenditures and television distribution rights. Total debt at QVC Group increased $975 million in the third quarter primarily due to additional borrowing under QVC's bank credit facility.

QVC's bank credit facility had $2.9 billion drawn as of September 30, 2025, with incremental availability of approximately $181 million, net of letters of credit. QVC, Inc.'s leverage ratio, as defined by QVC's credit agreement, was 4.2x at quarter-end.

As of September 30, 2025, QVC's consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under QVC's senior secured notes) was greater than 3.5x and as a result QVC is restricted in its ability to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments. Dividends made by QVC to service the principal and interest of indebtedness of its parent entities, as well as payments made by QVC to QVC Group under an intercompany tax sharing agreement in respect of certain tax obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries, are permitted under the indentures governing QVC's senior secured notes and QVC's credit agreement.

QVC Group is in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2025. QVC's bank credit facility matures on October 27, 2026. As a result, the related outstanding debt balance of $2.9 billion will be reclassified from a non-current liability to a current liability as of October 31, 2025. The outstanding debt under QVC's bank credit facility, in addition to QVC's senior secured notes, could become due sooner than October 27, 2026, if QVC does not remain compliant with the consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant under its bank credit facility and a waiver or forbearance from the lenders thereunder is not obtained. This can be triggered if the consolidated net leverage ratio for QVC is greater than 4.5 to 1.0 under QVC's bank credit facility. Therefore, QVC's continuation as a going concern is currently dependent upon ability to refinance or repay the debt balance upon maturity. Please refer to QVC Group's Form 10-Q for more information.

Important Notice: QVC Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:QVCGA, QVCGP, OTCQB:QVCGB) will discuss QVC Group's earnings release on a conference call which will begin at 8:30 a.m. (E.T.) on November 5, 2025. The call can be accessed by dialing (877) 704-4234 or (215) 268-9904, passcode 13748879, at least 10 minutes prior to the start time. Links to this press release and replays of the call will also be available on QVC Group's website.

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about business strategies and initiatives (including our WIN strategy) and their expected benefits, future financial performance and prospects, and other matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, without limitation, possible changes in market acceptance of new products or services, competitive issues, regulatory matters affecting our businesses, continued access to capital on terms acceptable to QVC Group, changes in law and government regulations, the availability of investment opportunities, general market conditions (including as a result of tariff volatility and uncertainty), the effects of and ability to comply with financial obligations, including our ability to repay our indebtedness upon maturity, our ability to continue as a going concern, the effects of impairment losses, issues impacting the global supply chain and labor market and use of social media and influencers. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and QVC Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in QVC Group's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Please refer to the publicly filed documents of QVC Group, including the most recent Forms 10-K and 10-Q, for additional information about QVC Group and about the risks and uncertainties related to QVC Group's business, which may affect the statements made in this press release.

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 QVC Group, QVC and Cornerstone together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses' operating income, as determined under GAAP. QVC Group defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and where applicable, separately identified impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, and (gains) losses on sale leaseback transactions. Further, this press release includes Adjusted OIBDA margin, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. QVC Group defines Adjusted OIBDA margin as Adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.

QVC Group 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's 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, QVC Group 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 QVC Group 's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.

This press release also references certain financial metrics on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, for QVC Group. 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.

QVC Group 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.

SCHEDULE 1

The following table provides a reconciliation of QVC Group's Adjusted OIBDA to its operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively.
