Qurate Retail, Inc. ("Qurate Retail") (Nasdaq: QRTEA, QRTEB,
QRTEP) today reported second quarter 2023 results (1).
“In this quarter, we made meaningful progress on Project Athens,
our multi-year plan to transform the company, expanding gross
margins in our video commerce businesses for the first time in over
18 months and materially improving our cash flow,” said David
Rawlinson, President and CEO of Qurate Retail. “While our revenue
was down, our topline results were in line with the discretionary
retail industry, which was impacted by softer consumer sentiment
and more promotional intensity particularly in the home categories.
During the quarter, we also divested Zulily, which simplified our
portfolio and improved our go forward liquidity. We finalized our
insurance claims for the fire at our former Rocky Mount, NC
fulfillment center and received $225 million of insurance
proceeds.
“We continue our focus on cash flow, costs and margin growth in
the near term and anticipate improved profitability in the second
half of 2023. We believe we are on track to achieve our Project
Athens objectives through 2024.”
Second quarter 2023 operating results:
- Qurate Retail revenue(2) decreased 7% to $2.5 billion
- In constant currency(3) revenue(2) decreased 7%
- Qurate Retail reported diluted EPS of $0.28
- Adjusted diluted EPS(4) of $(0.03)
- QxH revenue decreased 8%
- QVC International revenue decreased 5%
- In constant currency, revenue decreased 3%
- Cornerstone revenue decreased 7%
Corporate headlines:
- Finalized insurance claim related to Rocky Mount, NC
fulfillment center (“Rocky Mount”) fire and received $225 million
of insurance proceeds in second quarter; total insurance proceeds
received of $660 million

b) Zulily was divested on May 24, 2023. Second quarter 2023 results
include Zulily through May 23, 2023. In the second quarter of 2023

of restructuring charges that are included in operating income and
excluded from adjusted OIBDA.
c)
In the second quarter of 2023, QxH recognized (i) a $209 million
net gain on insurance proceeds representing insurance proceeds

on the sale of Rocky Mount in February 2023 that was released from
escrow. In the second quarter of 2022, QxH incurred (i) a $15
million write-down related to inventory at Rocky Mount included in
cost of goods sold, (ii) a $240 million gain on sale related to the
modification of the lease of its Ontario, CA distribution center
and (iii) $1 million of non-reimbursable fire-related costs. These
items are included in operating income and excluded from adjusted
OIBDA. See Reconciling Schedule 2.
d)

b)
Represents diluted net income per share attributable to Series A
and Series B common stockholders as presented in Qurate Retail’s
financial statements.
QxH
QxH revenue declined primarily due to a 12% decrease in units
shipped, reflecting fewer customers and weakened consumer
sentiment, as well as lower shipping and handling revenue. This was
partially offset by a 5% increase in average selling price driven
by an elevated product assortment and price increases. QxH
experienced a 6% increase in average spend per customer. QxH
reported declines in home, electronics, accessories and apparel,
partially offset by growth in beauty.
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin(4) decreased
primarily due to higher administrative expenses from certain costs
related to Project Athens, higher benefits expense and sales
deleverage and, to a lesser extent, from increased commissions due
to expanded distribution. These pressures were partially offset by
higher product margins, favorable fulfillment (warehouse and
freight), lower obsolescence expense and lower bad debt expense.
Product margins increased mainly due to higher initial margins,
partially offset by unfavorable returns and lower shipping and
handling revenue. Fulfillment favorability was driven by less
detention and demurrage costs and reduced volume, partially offset
by higher freight and labor rates and fulfillment center rent
expense due to sale leaseback transactions in the prior year.
In the second quarter of 2023, QxH received a final payment of
$225 million of insurance proceeds related to the December 2021
fire at Rocky Mount, primarily business interruption proceeds, for
an aggregate of $660 million proceeds received.
QVC International
US Dollar denominated results were negatively impacted by
exchange rate fluctuations, primarily due to the Dollar
strengthening 6% versus the Japanese Yen and 1% versus the British
Pound, partially offset by weakening 2% against the Euro. The
financial metrics presented in this press release also provide a
comparison of the percentage change in QVC International’s results
in constant currency to the comparable figures calculated in
accordance with US GAAP, where applicable.
QVC International’s constant currency revenue declined primarily
due to a 7% decrease in units shipped, reflecting weakened consumer
sentiment driven by inflation primarily in Europe. This was
partially offset by a 5% increase in average selling price driven
by price increases and product mix. QVC International reported
declines in electronics, jewelry and apparel, while beauty grew
modestly and home was flat.
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily
due to higher administrative and fulfillment expenses.
Administrative costs increased due to higher wages, outside
services and management incentive accruals. Fulfillment pressure
was primarily attributable to higher fulfillment center rents due
to sale leaseback transactions and increased labor costs. These
pressures were partially offset by higher product margins and lower
inventory obsolescence expense from reduced inventory levels.
Product margin favorability was primarily due to increased initial
margin, partially offset by lower shipping and handling
revenue.
Cornerstone
Cornerstone revenue decreased, reflecting softness and
competitive promotional pressure in the home sector as well as
lower demand for apparel at Garnett Hill.
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily
due to increased promotions and higher fulfillment, marketing and
administrative costs. These pressures were partially offset by
lower inbound logistic costs.

Preferred Stock has an 8% coupon, $100 per share initial

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.
e)
As defined in QVC’s credit agreement. The gains from the sale
leaseback transactions discussed previously and a portion of
expected cost savings are included in adjusted EBITDA for purposes
of the covenant calculations under QVC’s bank credit facility.
Cash at Qurate Retail increased $197 million in the second
quarter primarily due to improved cash from operations largely
driven by working capital benefits and the receipt of $225 million
of insurance proceeds, which more than offset capital expenditures,
net debt repayment and TV distribution payments.
Total debt at Qurate Retail, Inc. decreased $201 million in the
second quarter due to debt repayments. Qurate Retail repurchased
$177 million of QVC’s 4.85% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 and $15
million of QVC’s 4.45% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 and settled
$94 million principal amount of exchanges of its LI LLC Charter
exchangeable debentures, leaving $79 million principal amount of
debentures outstanding. This was partially offset by $85 million of
net borrowing under QVC’s bank credit facility.
QVC’s bank credit facility has $1.4 billion drawn as of June 30,
2023 with incremental availability of $1.8 billion, net of letters
of credit. QVC’s leverage ratio, as defined by the QVC revolving
credit facility, was 2.3x at quarter end. Pursuant to the terms of
QVC’s revolving credit facility, gains from sale leaseback
transactions and a portion of expected cost savings are included in
operating income for purposes of QVC’s leverage ratio for covenant
calculations. In connection with the Zulily divestiture, Zulily is
no longer a co-borrower in the credit facility, and repaid its
outstanding borrowings under the credit facility of approximately
$80 million using cash contributed from Qurate Retail.
As of June 30, 2023, 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 Qurate Retail under an
intercompany tax sharing agreement in respect of certain tax
obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries, are permitted under the
bond indenture and credit agreement.
Qurate Retail is in compliance with all debt covenants as of
June 30, 2023.
Qurate Retail benefits from an indemnification agreement with
Liberty Broadband with respect to its LI LLC Charter exchangeable
debentures. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, Liberty
Broadband will be required to indemnify LI LLC for any payments
made to a holder of such debentures that exercises its exchange
right on or before the put/call date of October 5, 2023 in excess
of the sum of the adjusted principal amount of such debentures plus
certain estimated tax benefits to Qurate Retail, if any, resulting
from the exchange. LI LLC would be responsible for paying the
adjusted principal amount to such holder. This indemnity is
supported by a negative pledge in favor of Qurate Retail on the
reference shares of Class A common stock of Charter Communications,
Inc. held at Liberty Broadband that underlie the LI LLC Charter
exchangeable debentures. The indemnification asset on Qurate
Retail’s balance sheet is valued based on the estimated exchange
feature in the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. As of June
30, 2023, holders of the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures
have the ability to put their debentures on October 5, 2023, and
accordingly, the indemnification asset is included as a current
asset. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Qurate Retail
received indemnification payments of $1 million from Liberty
Broadband in connection with exchanges of $94 million principal
amount of the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures that settled
in the quarter.
Important Notice: Qurate Retail, Inc. (Nasdaq: QRTEA,
QRTEB, QRTEP) will discuss Qurate Retail’s earnings release on a
conference call which will begin at 8:30 a.m. (E.T.) on August 4,
2023. The call can be accessed by dialing (877) 704-4234 or (215)

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements,
including statements about business strategies and initiatives
(including Project Athens) and their expected benefits, market
potential, future financial performance and prospects, market
conditions, the indemnification by Liberty Broadband, future
repayment of debt, the continuation of our stock repurchase program
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
Qurate Retail, changes in law and government regulations, the
availability of investment opportunities, general market conditions
(including as a result of COVID-19 or other public health crises),
issues impacting the global supply chain and labor market, and
market conditions conducive to stock repurchases. 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. Please refer to the publicly filed documents of Qurate
Retail, including the most recent Forms 10-K and 10-Q, for
additional information about Qurate Retail and about the risks and
uncertainties related to Qurate Retail'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 Qurate
Retail, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), Zulily (through May
23, 2023) 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, and where applicable, separately identified
impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring,
acquisition-related costs, fire related costs, net (including Rocky
Mount inventory losses), and (gains) losses on sale leaseback
transactions. 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’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,
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, (gain) loss on sale of fixed assets 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.
SCHEDULE 1
The following table provides a reconciliation of Qurate Retail’s
adjusted OIBDA to its operating income calculated in accordance
with GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2022, September 30,
2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023,
respectively.
