MotoGP. MotoGP is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights to the MotoGP Championship and other motorcycle racing championships. The MotoGP Championship is comprised of a varying number of MotoGP Events, which are inclusive of MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3, taking place in different countries around the world each season.

Current report
Liberty acquired approximately 84% of the equity interests of MotoGP on July 3, 2025 and applied acquisition accounting and consolidated the results of MotoGP from that date. Although MotoGP’s results are only included in Liberty’s results for the period from July 3, 2025 through December 31, 2025, we believe a discussion of MotoGP’s results for all periods presented promotes a better understanding of the overall results of its business. For comparison and discussion purposes, we are presenting the pro forma results of MotoGP for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, inclusive of acquisition accounting adjustments, which primarily impact amortization expense. The pro forma financial information was prepared based on the historical financial information of MotoGP and assuming the acquisition of MotoGP took place on January 1, 2024. The acquisition price allocation related to the MotoGP acquisition is preliminary. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are based on this preliminary allocation and have been made solely for the purpose of providing comparative pro forma financial information. The financial information below is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent the actual results of operations of MotoGP had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024, or to project the results of operations of Liberty for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that Liberty management believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments are directly attributable to the acquisition and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of Liberty.
Current report
Prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off, MotoGP’s pro forma operating results included intercompany revenue from QuintEvents that was eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent to the Liberty Live Split-Off, QuintEvents is no longer a subsidiary of the Company and such revenue is not eliminated.
Current report
Primary MotoGP revenue increased $67 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year. Media rights revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to the effect of contractual increases in fees, the continued growth in VideoPass subscription revenue and a favorable change in currency exchange rates. Race promotion revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to the impact of recognizing MotoGP Event-specific revenue from two additional MotoGP Events, contractual increases in fees and a favorable change in currency exchange rates. Sponsorship revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to the effect of contractual increases in fees from existing sponsors and a favorable change in currency exchange rates.
Current report
Other MotoGP revenueis generated from other motorcycle racing championships, including the FIM World Superbike Championship (“WorldSBK”), hospitality (inclusive of the sale of tickets to the MotoGP VIP Village and MotoGP Premier hospitality programs at most events) and other licensing opportunities.
Current report
Other MotoGP revenue increased $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily driven by higher hospitality revenue due to two additional MotoGP Events and increased attendance, and a favorable change in currency exchange rates, partially offset by a decrease in contractual fees related to the MotoE Championship.
Current report
In describing MotoGP’s operating results, the term “currency exchange rates” refers to the foreign currency exchange rates MotoGP uses to convert the operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. MotoGP calculates the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the prior period's currency exchange rates. MotoGP refers to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Constant currency operating results, a non-GAAP measure, refers to operating results without the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. The disclosure of results in constant currency permits investors to better understand MotoGP’s underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Current report
The percentage change in MotoGP’s revenue in U.S. dollars and in constant currency was as follows:
Current report
For the year ended December 31, 2025, motorsport revenue had a constant currency growth rate of 8.6% versus a U.S. dollar growth rate of 13.9%, the difference of which is attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar to the Euro.
Current report
Cost of motorsport revenueincludes both variable and fixed costs components and relates to both primary and other motorsport revenue. On an annual basis, the largest components of costs of motorsport revenue are costs related to IRTA payments, which are generally fixed on a per race basis with slight variations based on the mix and number of MotoGP Events and escalate on an annual basis, costs related to television productions, advertising and sponsorship materials, the delivery of hospitality offerings, freight travel and annual FIM fees.
Current report
Cost of motorsport revenue increased $45 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to two additional MotoGP Events and eight overseas events in 2025 versus seven in 2024, which drove increased IRTA, freight, travel, television production and hospitality costs, and an unfavorable change in currency exchange rates.

Previous report
The Company performed a quantitative analysis of QuintEvents during the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on near-term business trends and their impact on long-term assumptions, we concluded that the estimated fair value of QuintEvents was less than its carrying value. As a result, QuintEvents recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $73 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow (income approach) calculation (Level 3). Due to the goodwill impairment loss recorded, QuintEvents’ carrying value approximates its estimated fair value as of December 31, 2024. The Company will monitor QuintEvents’ business performance versus the current and updated long-term forecasts, among other relevant considerations, to determine if the carrying value of its goodwill is appropriate. Declines in forecasted revenue, cash flows or other factors could result in a sustained decrease in fair value that may result in a determination that carrying value adjustments are required.
