MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the criteria in*Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013),*issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of MotoGP Sports Entertainment S.L. (formerly Dorna Sports, S.L.) (“MotoGP”) which the Company acquired in the third quarter of 2025. The amount of total assets and revenue of MotoGP included in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $6,277 million and $325 million, respectively.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm audited the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Their report appears on page II-20 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Liberty Media Corporation:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Liberty Media Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in* Internal Control**–* Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in*Internal Control**–*Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group, S.L. during 2025, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group, S.L.’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $6,277 million and total revenues of $325 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group, S.L.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

II-20

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Liberty Media Corporation:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Media Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings (loss), cash flows, and equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Fair value of intangible asset acquired in a business combination

As discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 3, 2025, the Company acquired approximately 84% of the equity interests in MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group, S.L. (MotoGP) for a preliminary purchase price of approximately $3,659 million. The fair value of the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) rightsholder agreement, which provides MotoGP the exclusive commercial rights to operate the MotoGP Championship, was determined using the relief from royalty method. The preliminary acquisition date fair value of the FIM rightsholder agreement intangible asset recorded by the Company was $1,653 million. We identified the evaluation of the estimated acquisition date fair value of the FIM rightsholder agreement intangible asset as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the royalty rate and projected revenue growth rate used to value the FIM rightsholder agreement intangible asset. Changes in these assumptions

II-22

could have had a significant impact on the acquisition date fair value of the FIM rightsholder agreement. Additionally, involvement of valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge was required to assess the royalty rate.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s purchase accounting process, including controls related to the development and selection of the royalty rate and projected revenue growth rate used to estimate the acquisition date fair value of the FIM rightsholder agreement intangible asset. We performed sensitivity analyses over the projected revenue growth rate to assess the impact of changes in the assumption on the Company’s determination of fair value, and we evaluated the reasonableness of the projected revenue growth rate by comparing it to historical MotoGP results. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating the royalty rate by comparing it against a range of royalty rates that was independently developed using publicly-available market data for comparable agreements, as well as to royalty rates from other comparable valuations.

LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

(1) Basis of Presentatio****n

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty,” “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires) represent a consolidation of certain motorsport and live entertainment related assets and businesses. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

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 (“U.K.”) and Spain. Our 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”).

Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings") was a subsidiary of the Company until the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off (defined below) on July 18, 2023. Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”) was a subsidiary of the Company until the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off (defined below) on September 9, 2024. QuintEvents, LLC (“QuintEvents”) was a subsidiary of the Company and Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”) was an equity affiliate of the Company until the Liberty Live Split-Off (defined below) on December 15, 2025.

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. The Company completed the transactions disclosed below to separate certain collections of businesses, assets and liabilities into separate publicly traded companies.

On July 18, 2023, the Company completed the split-off (the “Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off”) of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (“Atlanta Braves Holdings”). Atlanta Braves Holdings was comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”), a tracking stock group, immediately prior to the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off, except for intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to Liberty’s other tracking stock groups, the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Liberty Formula One Group (the “Formula One Group”), which were settled and extinguished in connection with the with the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off. On July 19, 2023, the shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock utilized to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest were distributed on a pro rata basis to holders of Liberty Formula One common stock (the “Formula One Distribution”).

Braves Holdings is not presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

On August 3, 2023, the Company reclassified its then-outstanding shares of common stock into three new tracking stocks—Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock and Liberty Live common stock, and, in connection therewith, provided for the attribution of the businesses, assets and liabilities of the Company’s then-tracking stock groups among its newly created Liberty SiriusXM Group, Formula One Group and Liberty Live Group (the “Reclassification”).

Each of the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off and the Reclassification were intended to be tax-free to stockholders of the Company, except with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. In July 2024, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its review of the Reclassification and notified the Company that it agreed with the nontaxable characterization of the transaction. In September 2024, the IRS completed its review of the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off and notified the Company that it agreed with the nontaxable characterization of the transaction. The Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off and the Reclassification are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis.

II-31

During 2023, the Formula One Group paid approximately $273 million to the Liberty SiriusXM Group to settle an intergroup interest in the Formula One Group held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group.

On September 9, 2024, Liberty completed the split-off (the “Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Liberty Sirius XM Holdings”). Liberty Sirius XM Holdings was comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group immediately prior to the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off. At the time of the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off, the Liberty SiriusXM Group was comprised of Liberty’s interest in Sirius XM Holdings, corporate cash, Liberty’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, Liberty’s 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049 and a margin loan obligation incurred by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Liberty. Prior to the Reclassification, Liberty’s interest in Live Nation, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and a margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation were attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Liberty Sirius XM Holdings is presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See note 2 for details of the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off.

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. Immediately prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off, 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 private assets.

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 a discontinued operations in the Company’s 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 below). 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 private assets immediately prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off. Following the Liberty Live Split-Off, the Company’s only remaining outstanding common stock, the Liberty Formula One common stock, is no longer a tracking stock.

Liberty has entered into certain agreements with QVC Group, Inc., formerly known as Qurate Retail, Inc. (“QVC Group”), Liberty Broadband Corporation (“Liberty Broadband”), GCI Liberty, Inc. (“GCI Liberty”), Liberty Live Holdings, Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (“TripCo”), Liberty Sirius XM Holdings and Atlanta Braves Holdings, all of which are or were (in the case of TripCo) separate publicly traded companies, in order to govern our relationships with these companies. None of these companies has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others. These agreements include Reorganization Agreements (in the case of QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, Liberty Live Holdings, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings and Atlanta Braves Holdings only), Services Agreements (in the case of QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings, TripCo and Atlanta Braves Holdings only), Facilities Sharing Agreements (in the case of QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings, TripCo and Atlanta Braves Holdings only), Tax Sharing Agreements (in the case of Liberty Broadband, Liberty Live Holdings, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings and Atlanta Braves Holdings only) and an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement (in the case of Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings and Atlanta Braves Holdings only). In addition, as a result of certain corporate transactions, Liberty and QVC Group may have obligations to each other for certain tax related matters. Effective August 31, 2024, the Facilities Sharing Agreement and the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement with Atlanta Braves Holdings were terminated and members of Liberty management that served as officers of Atlanta Braves Holdings stepped down from their positions with Atlanta Braves Holdings (with limited exceptions).

II-32

The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between Liberty and each of QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, Liberty Live Holdings, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings and Atlanta Braves Holdings, including certain cross-indemnities. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, Liberty shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings, TripCo (until April 29, 2025) and Atlanta Braves Holdings (until August 31, 2024). Pursuant to the Services Agreements, Liberty provides QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings, Atlanta Braves Holdings (until November 3, 2025) and TripCo (until April 29, 2025), with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury, information technology, cybersecurity and investor relations support. QVC Group, Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings, Atlanta Braves Holdings (until November 3, 2025) and TripCo (until April 29, 2025) reimburse Liberty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and in the case of QVC Group, QVC Group’s allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to QVC Group. Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty, Liberty Live Holdings, Atlanta Braves Holdings (until November 3, 2025) and TripCo (until April 29, 2025) reimburse Liberty for shared services and personnel based on a flat fee. Liberty and QVC Group have transitioned various general and administrative services previously provided to QVC Group under the Services Agreement to members of the QVC, Inc. management team. As part of the transition, during the first half of 2025, members of Liberty management that served as officers of QVC Group stepped down from their positions with QVC Group (with limited exceptions). Under these various agreements, approximately $17 million, $21 million and $24 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In connection with Liberty’s employment arrangement with Gregory B. Maffei, Liberty’s former President and Chief Executive Officer (the “former CEO”), pursuant to the Services Agreements between Liberty and each of TripCo, Liberty Broadband, QVC Group and Atlanta Braves Holdings (collectively, the “Service Companies”), components of Mr. Maffei's compensation were either paid directly to him by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case, based on allocations among Liberty and the Service Companies set forth in the respective services agreement, which were subject to adjustment on an annual basis and upon the occurrence of certain events. As of August 31, 2024, upon the effectiveness of Mr. Maffei’s resignation as an officer of Atlanta Braves Holdings, Mr. Maffei no longer received compensation from Atlanta Braves Holdings. As of December 31, 2024, Mr. Maffei no longer provided services to Liberty or any of the Service Companies, and no further compensation was payable to or on behalf of Mr. Maffei by or between the companies.

(2) Discontinued Operations

On September 9, 2024, Liberty completed the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off. The Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off was accomplished through the redemption by the Company of each outstanding share of Liberty SiriusXM common stock in exchange for 0.8375 of a share of Liberty Sirius XM Holdings common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Liberty Sirius XM Holdings was comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group immediately prior to the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off. The Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off was intended to be tax-free to holders of Liberty SiriusXM common stock (except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares).

As disclosed in note 1, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings is presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Split-Off represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

On December 15, 2025, the Company completed Liberty Live Split-Off. The Liberty Live Split-Off was accomplished by a redemption by the Company of each outstanding share of its Liberty Live common stock in exchange forone share of the corresponding series of common stock of Liberty Live Holdings. As a result of the Liberty Live Split-Off, Liberty Live Holdings is now an independent, publicly traded company.

II-33

As disclosed in note 1, Liberty’s interest 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 consolidated financial statements as the Liberty Live Split-Off represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Prior to the Liberty Live Split-Off, Live Nation was an equity method affiliate and Liberty’s share of Live Nation’s earnings (losses) were recorded in Liberty’s consolidated statements of operations. Live Nation’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were not included in Liberty’s consolidated financial statements.

(3) Acquisitions

MotoGP

On July 3, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), in alignment with our motorsport strategy, the Company acquired approximately 84% of the equity interests in MotoGP for a preliminary purchase price of approximately $3,659 million (approximately €3,122 million), funded with cash on hand and borrowings of $1.0 billion under the Incremental Term Loans, as defined in note 8. Following the acquisition of MotoGP, approximately 16% of the equity interests in MotoGP continue to be owned by certain of the sellers (the “Rollover Sellers”).

The total acquisition consideration for the MotoGP acquisition was denominated in Euros as required by the purchase agreement. Prior to the acquisition, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts for close to the

II-35

full purchase price. A portion of the foreign currency forward contracts settled on June 30, 2025 and the remainder settled in July 2025.

In January 2025, the Company paid a portion of the acquisition consideration of approximately $131 million (approximately €126 million) in cash to the sellers to accommodate the European Commission’s extended regulatory review of the acquisition. On the Closing Date, the Company paid additional closing consideration of approximately $3,511 million (approximately €2,996 million) in cash. The €126 million was considered prepaid purchase consideration and was translated from Euros to U.S. dollars as of the Closing Date and was included in other assets as of December 31, 2024. The final translated amount of $148 million is the acquisition date fair value of the prepaid purchase consideration, with the difference of $17 million from the translation recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes on the consolidated balance sheet.

The preliminary acquisition price allocation for MotoGP is as follows (amounts in millions):

​​​​
Prepaid consideration$148​
Closing consideration​3,511​
Total acquisition consideration$3,659​
​​​​
Cash and cash equivalents$375​
Goodwill​3,061​
Intangible assets subject to amortization, net​2,789​
Other assets​150​
Deferred revenue​(106)​
Long-term debt​(1,140)​
Deferred income tax liabilities​(671)​
Other liabilities​(108)​
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of subsidiary​(691)​
Total acquisition consideration$3,659​

The calculated value assigned to intangible assets has been estimated by management utilizing a third-party preliminary valuation report utilizing valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approaches. The Company has preliminarily identified goodwill, MotoGP’s agreement with the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (“FIM”) which sets forth MotoGP’s exclusive commercial rights to the MotoGP Championship (the “FIM Agreement”) and customer relationships as the primary intangible assets. The FIM Agreement ($1,653 million with an estimated useful life of approximately 36 years) was valued utilizing the relief-from-royalty method. The customer relationship assets ($1,130 million with an estimated useful life of approximately 19 years) were valued utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific application of the discounted cash flow method. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the (i) identifiable net assets acquired and (ii) fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, value associated with future customers, continued innovation and noncontractual relationships. None of the acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the valuation related to the acquisition of MotoGP is not final, and the acquisition price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision. The primary areas of the acquisition price allocation that are not yet finalized are related to certain intangible assets, liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interests and tax balances.

II-36

As part of the MotoGP acquisition, the Company and the Rollover Sellers entered into a shareholders’ agreement that became effective on the Closing Date (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”). The Shareholders’ Agreement provides for, among other things, the liquidity rights of the Rollover Sellers with respect to the transfer of approximately 16% of the equity interests in MotoGP that continued to be owned by the Rollover Sellers subsequent to the Closing Date. The Shareholders’ Agreement provides for certain put and call rights in favor of the Rollover Sellers and the Company. The Rollover Sellers have the right to cause the Company to acquire the equity interests of MotoGP held by the Rollover Sellers as follows: (i)one-third following the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii)two-thirds following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, less any equity interests previously acquired by the Company, and (iii) all remaining equity interests held following the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date. Additionally, from and after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company has an annual call right to acquire any or all remaining equity interests held by the Rollover Sellers and the Rollover Sellers have an annual put right to cause the Company to acquire any or all remaining equity interests held by the Rollover Sellers. The price to be paid by the Company to acquire any equity interests from the Rollover Sellers will be equal to the fair market value with such fair market value determined in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement. Upon the exercise of any put or call right, the Company is permitted to satisfy up to 50% of such consideration payable in the form of the delivery of unregistered shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock with the remaining consideration payable in cash. Since the potential redemption of the MotoGP equity interests held by the Rollover Sellers is not within the control of the Company and any redemption must also involve the use of cash, the Company accounts for the noncontrolling interest in MotoGP as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially recorded at fair value as part of the acquisition accounting. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was derived from a model contractually defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement using observable market data as the significant inputs (Level 2). The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at each reporting period is the higher of (i) the cumulative amount that would result from applying the measurement guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810,Consolidation(“ASC 810”) (i.e., the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss – as well as its share of other comprehensive income or loss – and dividends) or (ii) the redemption value. As the redeemable noncontrolling interest represents a common-share redeemable noncontrolling interest redeemable at fair value, any changes to the redemption value in excess of the cumulative amount that would result from applying the measurement guidance in ASC 810 are recorded directly to retained earnings, when necessary. As the adjustment is recorded directly to retained earnings, there are no related impacts when calculating basic or diluted earnings per share.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is not redeemable as of December 31, 2025, but it is probable it will become redeemable in the future solely based on the passage of time, as discussed above, with respect to the various anniversary dates following the Closing Date where the Rollover Sellers have the right to cause the Company to acquire the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Since it is probable the noncontrolling interest will become redeemable, the Company’s accounting policy is to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to equal the redemption value at the end of the reporting period, in periods that the redemption value is higher than the cumulative amount that would result from applying the measurement guidance in ASC 810. This accounting policy method views the end of each reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Included in net earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 are net earnings of approximately $1 million related to MotoGP’s operations since the date of acquisition, which includes amortization expense, net of income taxes, of approximately $77 million.

The unaudited pro forma revenue and earnings of Liberty, prepared utilizing the historical financial statements of MotoGP, giving effect to acquisition accounting related adjustments made at the time of acquisition, as if the acquisition of MotoGP discussed above occurred on January 1, 2024, are as follows:

II-37

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · Years ended December 31, · ​
​2025​2024​
​ · amounts in millions · ​
Revenue$4,725​4,153​
Net earnings (loss)$534​(2,502)​
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty shareholders$538​(2,086)​

The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The pro forma information is not representative of the Company’s future results of operations nor does it reflect what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the acquisition of MotoGP had occurred previously and the Company consolidated MotoGP during the periods presented.

QuintEvents

On January 2, 2024, the Company purchased QuintEvents for total consideration of approximately $277 million, comprised of $205 million of cash, net of cash acquired of $66 million, and a $6 million settlement of a pre-existing condition. The Company recorded $252 million of goodwill, $113 million of intangible assets subject to amortization, net and $121 million of deferred revenue as a result of the acquisition. The acquisition price allocation was final as of December 31, 2024. As disclosed in note 1, following the Liberty Live Split-Off, QuintEvents is no longer a subsidiary of the Company.

(4) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

Allowance for credit losses

Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company applies the expected credit loss methodology in estimating its allowance for credit losses by first considering historical losses and adding consideration of current market conditions, the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The table below presents changes in the allowance for the periods presented:

Investments

All marketable equity and debt securities held by the Company are carried at fair value, generally based on quoted market prices and changes in the fair value of such securities are reported in realized and unrealized gain (losses) on financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected the measurement alternative (defined as the cost of the security, adjusted for changes in fair value when there are observable prices, less impairments) for its equity securities without readily determinable fair values.

For those investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur rather than as dividends or other distributions are received. Losses are limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. In the event the Company is unable to obtain accurate financial information from an equity affiliate in a timely manner, the Company records its share of earnings or losses of such affiliate on a lag.

Changes in the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying equity of an equity method investee, which result from the issuance of additional equity securities by such equity investee, are recognized in the statement of operations through the other, net line item. To the extent there is a difference between our ownership percentage in the underlying equity of an equity method investee and our carrying value, such difference is accounted for as if the equity method investee were a consolidated subsidiary.

The Company continually reviews its equity investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other than temporary. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the Company’s carrying value; the severity of the decline; and the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of the investee. In addition, the Company considers the reason for the decline in fair value, be it general market conditions, industry specific or investee specific; analysts’ ratings and estimates of 12-month share price targets for the investee; changes in stock price or valuation subsequent to the balance sheet date; and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the equity method investment is written down to fair value. In situations where the fair value of an investment is not evident due to a lack of a public market price or other factors, the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to arrive at the estimated fair value of such investment. The Company’s assessment of the foregoing factors involves a high degree of judgment and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates and judgments. Write-downs for equity method investments are included in share of earnings (losses) of affiliates.

The Company performs a qualitative assessment for equity securities without readily determinable fair values each reporting period to determine whether the security could be impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that an impairment could exist, we estimate the fair value of the investments, and, to the extent the security’s fair value is less than its carrying value, an impairment is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

All of the Company’s derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive earnings and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in

II-39

the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. None of the Company’s derivatives are currently designated as hedges.

The fair value of certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates a number of variables in determining such fair values, including expected volatility of the underlying security and an appropriate discount rate. The Company obtained volatility rates from pricing services based on the expected volatility of the underlying security over the remaining term of the derivative instrument. A discount rate was obtained at the inception of the derivative instrument and updated each reporting period, based on the Company’s estimate of the discount rate at which it could currently settle the derivative instrument. The Company considered its own credit risk as well as the credit risk of its counterparties in estimating the discount rate. Considerable management judgment was required in estimating the Black-Scholes variables.

The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are estimated primarily based on the difference between the foreign currency exchange forward rates as of the reporting date and the foreign currency forward rates included in the Company’s contracts with the respective counterparties, multiplied by the applicable notional amount. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps are estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows based on the instruments’ contractual terms, including the applicable interest rate and discount rate, and, for any embedded options, implied interest rate volatility.

Total property and equipment​​​$1,0871,007​

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $71 million, $62 million and $79 million, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment upon certain triggering events. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (collectively, “indefinite lived intangible assets”) are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

The accounting guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to

II-40

bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.

In evaluating goodwill on a qualitative basis, the Company reviews the business performance of each reporting unit and evaluates other relevant factors as identified in the relevant accounting guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indicated impairment exists for any of our reporting units. The Company considers whether there are any negative macroeconomic conditions, industry specific conditions, market changes, increased competition, increased costs in doing business, management challenges, the legal environments and how these factors might impact company specific performance in future periods. As part of the analysis, the Company also considers fair value determinations for certain reporting units that have been made at various points throughout the current and prior years for other purposes. If based on the qualitative analysis it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Developing estimates of fair value requires significant judgments, including making assumptions about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates, relevant comparable market multiples, public trading prices and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in Liberty’s valuation analysis are based on management’s best estimates considering current marketplace factors and risks as well as assumptions of growth rates in future years. There is no assurance that actual results in the future will approximate these forecasts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The accounting guidance also permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The accounting guidance also allows entities the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative assessment is performed. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment and its intangible assets (other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles) to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset group, an impairment adjustment is to be recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such asset groups exceeds their fair value. The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of asset groups. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Asset groups to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Leases

The Company and its subsidiaries lease business offices and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single component and does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are those leases

II-41

with a term of twelve months or less or leases with non-consecutive periods of use that total twelve months or less at the lease commencement date.

The Company recorded $65 million, $62 million and $78 million of operating lease expense during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 12.2 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 5.0%. Operating lease right-of-use assets totaled $26 million and $45 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease liabilities totaled $24 million and $44 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2025, future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more are $5 million in 2026, $5 million in 2027, $5 million in 2028, $4 million in 2029, $3 million in 2030 and $5 million thereafter. The Company expects to pay $16 million in 2026, $16 million in 2027 and $14 million in 2028 related to short-term leases that extend over multiple years.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company reports noncontrolling interests of subsidiaries within equity in the balance sheet and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is presented in the statement of operations. Also, changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries in which the Company maintains a controlling interest are recorded in equity.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Sales, value add, and other taxes, when collected concurrently with revenue producing activities, are excluded from revenue. An accounts receivable is recorded when there is an unconditional right to consideration based on a contract with a customer. For certain types of contracts with customers, the Company may recognize revenue in advance of the contractual right to invoice the customer, resulting in an amount recorded to contract assets. Once the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under these contracts, the contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. To the extent the incremental costs of obtaining a contract relate to a period greater than one year, the Company amortizes such incremental costs in a manner that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. If, at contract inception, we determine the time period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays us for that good or service is one year or less, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

Our customers generally pay for services in advance of the performance obligation and therefore these prepayments are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is recognized as revenue in our consolidated statement of operations as the services are provided.

Significant portions of the transaction prices related to undelivered performance obligations that are under contractual arrangements that extend beyond one year. The Company anticipates recognizing revenue from the delivery of such performance obligations of approximately $3,338 million in 2026, $3,177 million in 2027, $8,450 million in 2028 through 2032, and $1,889 million thereafter. We have not included any amounts in the undelivered performance obligations amounts for those performance obligations that relate to a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Total Formula 1 revenue$3,873​3,411​3,222​

Upon entering into a new arrangement, Formula 1 occasionally incurs certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract. These incremental costs relate to commission amounts that will be paid over the life of the contract for which the recipient does not have any substantive future performance requirement to earn such commission. Accordingly, the commission costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract.

The following is a description of principal activities from which Formula 1 generates its revenue.

Primary revenue. Formula 1 holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the Formula One World Championship (the “F1 Championship”), an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the F1 Championship through a combination of race promotion, media rights and sponsorship arrangements. Primary revenue derived from the commercial exploitation of the F1 Championship is (i) recognized on an event by event basis for those performance obligations associated with a specific event based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement and (ii) recognized over time for those performance obligations associated with a period of time that is greater than a single specific event (for example, over the entire race season or calendar year) based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement.

Other revenue. Formula 1 earns other revenue from miscellaneous and ancillary sources, primarily related to the sale of tickets to the Formula 1 Paddock Club hospitality program (the “Paddock Club”) at most events, facilitating the shipment of cars and equipment to and from events outside of Europe, the sale of hospitality and experiences at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, support races at events, other licensing opportunities, various television production activities and the operations at the Grand Prix Plaza site in Las Vegas. To the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights associated with a specific event, the revenue is recognized upon occurrence of the related event and to the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights over a longer period of time, the revenue is recognized over time.* *

The following is a description of principal activities from which MotoGP generates its revenue.

Primary revenue. MotoGP holds the exclusive commercial rights with respect to the FIM Grand Prix World Championship (the “MotoGP Championship”), an annual, approximately nine-month long, motorcycle racing competition in which riders compete for the Riders’ Championship, teams compete for the Teams’ Championship and engine manufacturers compete for the Manufacturers’ Championship. MotoGP’s primary revenue is derived through a combination of media rights, race promotion and sponsorship arrangements. Primary revenue derived from the commercial exploitation of the MotoGP Championship is (i) recognized on an event by event basis for those performance obligations associated with a specific event based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement and (ii) recognized over time for those performance obligations associated with a period of time that is greater than a single specific event (for example, over the entire race season or calendar year) based on the fees within the underlying contractual arrangement.

Other revenue. MotoGP earns other revenue from miscellaneous and ancillary sources, primarily related to the commercial exploitation of ancillary motorcycle racing championships, revenue from the sale of tickets to the MotoGP VIP Village hospitality program and other hospitality offerings at most events and licensing opportunities. To the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights associated with a specific event, the revenue is recognized upon occurrence of the related event and to the extent such revenue relates to services provided or rights over a longer period of time, the revenue is recognized over time.

QuintEvents

QuintEvents recognized $381 million and $340 million of revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. QuintEvents generates revenue through ticket sales, event package sales and commissions as an agent/re-seller for event packages. Revenue from ticket sales and event package sales is recognized as the events occur. QuintEvents acts as the principal for its ticket sales as it purchases allotments of tickets and bears the risk of loss.

Braves Holdings is required to estimate the entire transaction price of its contractual arrangements and recognize revenue allocated to each of the performance obligations within the contractual arrangements as those performance obligations are satisfied. Such performance obligations are typically satisfied over time and result in differences between revenue recognized and cash received, dependent on how far into a contractual arrangement Braves Holdings is at any given reporting period.

The following is a description of principal activities from which Braves Holdings generates its revenue.

Baseball revenue. Revenue for Braves Holdings ticket sales, signage and suites are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season based on a pro rata share of total revenue earned during the entire baseball season to the total number of home games during the season. Broadcasting rights are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball

II-44

season based on the pro rata number of games played to date to the total number of games during the season. Concession and parking revenue are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season. Major League Baseball (“MLB”) revenue is earned throughout the year based on an estimate of revenue generated by MLB on behalf of the 30 MLB clubs. Sources of MLB revenue primarily include the Major League Central Fund and distributions from various licensing agreements.

Mixed-Use Development revenue. Revenue from Braves Holdings’ minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective lease agreements. Some retail tenants are required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease term. Overage rents are only recognized when each tenant’s sales exceed the applicable sales threshold. Tenants reimburse Braves Holdings for a substantial portion of Braves Holdings operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and property insurance. Braves Holdings accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Braves Holdings recognizes differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over each annual period. Parking revenue is recognized daily based on actual usage.

Cost of Motorsport Revenue

Formula 1’s cost of motorsport revenue consists of team payments, costs of promoting, organizing and delivering the Las Vegas Grand Prix, hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of hospitality offerings at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the Paddock Club at other events (“Formula 1 Events”), and costs incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical services. Formula 1’s other costs of motorsport revenue also include sponsorship and digital product sales’ commissions, circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Formula 1 Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities, annual Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (“FIA”) regulatory fees, Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars, parts and maintenance services, costs related to the new F1 Academy series, television production and post-production services, advertising production services and digital and social media activities. These costs are largely variable in nature and typically relate directly to revenue opportunities.

MotoGP’s cost of motorsport revenue includes 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 International Road-Racing Teams Association payments, which are generally fixed on a per race basis with slight variations based on the mix and number of MotoGP’s 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.

Advertising Costs

Advertising expense aggregated $54 million, $34 million and $28 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is reflected in the selling, general and administrative expenses line in our consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

As more fully described in note 12, Liberty has granted to its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, “Awards”). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an Award based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). Stock-based compensation, included in selling,

II-45

general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, was $21 million, $30 million and $27 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more likely than not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any accrual of penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of the Company and Formula 1. MotoGP’s functional currency is the Euro. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect during the applicable period, which approximates the average exchange rate. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains (losses) which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss) as unrealized (based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Unrealized gains (losses) are included in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations and realized gains (losses) are included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Attributable to Liberty Stockholders Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, including any necessary adjustments to earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders.

(b)As described in note 1, the Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Formula One Group was settled and extinguished in 2023. The intergroup interest was a quasi-equity interest which was not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty SiriusXM Group had an attributed value in the Formula One Group which was generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to its interest in the Formula One Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was underlying the 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”). Therefore, the market price of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment. The notional shares representing the intergroup interest had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interest was dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interest to fair value during the period.

For periods in which share settlement of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, which may be settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instrument during the period, net of tax where appropriate. In addition, for periods in which share settlement of the Shareholders’ Agreement, which may be partially settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the share of earnings (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests, net of tax where appropriate.

(b)As described in note 1, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group were settled and extinguished in connection with the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off. The intergroup interests were quasi-equity interests that were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group had attributed values in the Braves Group which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to their interests in the Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock was underlying the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were historically used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off, shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves

II-49

Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Following such determination, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group.

The notional shares representing the intergroup interests had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interests were dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interests to fair value during the period.

Reclasses and Adjustments

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current year presentation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09,Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(“ASU 2023-09”), which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2025. See notes 5 and 9 for new required disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03,* Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*(“ASU 2024-03”), which expands disclosures about specific expense categories at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the related disclosures.

(6) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities required to be reported at fair value, GAAP provides a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2

II-51

inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have any recurring assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3.

Liberty’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · December 31, 2025 · ​ · December 31, 2024

Debt​$597​ ​ ​—​ ​ ​597588​ ​ ​—​ ​ ​588​
Financial instrument liabilities​$—​—​—​138​—​138​

The majority of Liberty’s Level 2 financial instruments are debt related instruments and derivative instruments, which include foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. These assets and liabilities are not always traded publicly or not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs or a trading price of a similar asset or liability is utilized. Accordingly, those financial instruments and debt or debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. As of December 31, 2025, financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the other assets line item in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, $27 million and $140 million of financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the other current assets and other assets line items, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, financial instrument liabilities included in the table above are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments, net

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following (amounts in millions):

(a)The Company elected to account for its convertible notes (as described in note 8) using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value

II-52

of the convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a loss of $4 million, loss of $15 million and loss of $12 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cumulative change since issuance was a gain of $65 million as of December 31, 2025, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.

Amortization expense was $322 million, $290 million and $327 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Based on its amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2025, Liberty expects that amortization expense will be as follows for the next five years (amounts in millions):

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
2026​ ​ ​$363​
2027​$354​
2028​$337​

Impairments

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).

2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027

On August 12, 2022, Liberty issued $475 million convertible notes at an interest rate of 2.25% per annum, which, at Liberty’s election, are convertible into cash, shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock and mature on August 15, 2027 (the “2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027”). As of December 31, 2025, the conversion rate for the notes is approximately 12.0505 shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $82.98 per share of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock. Liberty has elected to account for the notes using the fair value option. See note 6 for information related to unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value.

Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities

On November 23, 2022, Formula 1 refinanced its previous Term Loan B and revolving credit facility with a new $725 million first lien Term Loan A, a refinanced $1.7 billion Term Loan B and a new $500 million revolving credit facility. On September 19, 2024, Formula 1 refinanced the Term Loan B with a new $1.7 billion Term Loan B and extended the maturities of the approximately $689 million Term Loan A and the $500 million revolving credit facility. In connection with the September 19, 2024 refinancing, Formula 1 also marketed an incremental $850 million of Term Loan B funding, which was in addition to an incremental $150 million of commitments to the Term Loan A obtained in April 2024 (collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”). The financing of the Incremental Term Loans closed on July 1, 2025 and was used to fund a portion of the MotoGP acquisition, as described in note 3. The Term Loan B, Term Loan A and revolving credit facility are collectively the “Senior Loan Facilities.” The Term Loan A and revolving credit facility mature on September 30, 2029 and the Term Loan B matures on September 30, 2031. As of December 31, 2025, there wereno outstanding borrowings under the $500 million revolving credit facility. The margin for the Term Loan B was originally 2.25%, was reduced to 2.0% on September 19, 2024 and permanently stepped down to 1.75% on November 5, 2025. The margin for the Term Loan A andrevolving credit facility is between 1.50% and 2.25% depending on leverage ratios, amongst other things. The reference rate for the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and dollar borrowings under the revolving credit facility is the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”). The weighted average interest rate on the Senior Loan Facilities was approximately 5.36% and 6.19% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Senior Loan Facilities remain non-recourse to Liberty. The Senior Loan Facilities are secured by share pledges and floating charges over Formula 1’s primary operating companies with certain cross guarantees. Additionally, in order to manage the interest rate risk of its $3.3 billion Senior Loan Facilities, Formula 1 had $2.2 billion of interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2025, with a termination date in September 2031 and an early termination date in September 2029, at the option of the counterparty.

MotoGP Credit Facilities

On August 18, 2025, MotoGP refinanced its previous €975 million Term Loan B with a new €800 million Term Loan B with a maturity of August 18, 2032, previous €150 million Term Loan A with a new $232.5 million Term Loan A with a maturity of August 18, 2030 and previous €100 million multicurrency revolving credit facility with a new €100 million multicurrency revolving credit facility with a maturity of August 18, 2030 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). Effective August 18, 2025, the margin for the Term Loan B was reduced from 3.25% to 2.75% (with a range of 2.25% to 2.75% depending on a leverage ratio) with a reference rate of the euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”), the margin for the Term Loan A was reduced from 2.50% to 1.75% (with a range of 1.50% to 2.00% depending on a leverage ratio) with a reference rate of Term SOFR and the margin for the revolving credit facility was reduced from 2.50% to 2.25% (with a range of 2.00% to 2.50% depending on a leverage ratio) with a reference rate of one of Term SOFR, the sterling overnight index average or EURIBOR based on the currency of the applicable borrowing. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facilities was approximately 5.01% as of December 31, 2025. The Credit Facilities remain non-recourse to Liberty and are secured by pledges of the equity interests, accounts and intercompany receivables of MotoGP.

Debt Covenants

The Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities and the MotoGP Credit Facilities contain certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio. Additionally, Formula 1’s debt, MotoGP’s debt and other borrowings contain certain non-financial covenants.

Fair Value of Debt

Due to the variable rate nature of the Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities and the MotoGP Credit Facilities, the Company believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value at December 31, 2025.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, state and local income taxes in Colorado comprised the majority of the domestic state and local income taxes, net of federal effect category.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense less than the expected federal rate of 21% primarily due to certain gains that are not taxable, partially offset by earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates higher than the 21% U.S. federal rate and an increase in our valuation allowance.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense primarily due to certain losses that are not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than the 21% U.S. federal rate.

II-57

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized income tax expense greater than the expected federal rate of 21% primarily due to certain losses that are not deductible for tax purposes and tax expense related to cross-border taxes, partially offset by tax benefits related to foreign currency adjustments on certain U.K. deferred tax assets and earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than the 21% U.S. federal rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, there was a $20 million increase in the Company’s valuation allowance that affected income tax expense and a $2 million decrease that affected equity.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $604 million for federal, state and foreign net operating losses (“NOLs”) and interest expense carryforwards. Of this amount, the Company has $33 million of federal NOLs, $43 million of federal interest expense carryforwards, $1 million of state NOLs, $261 million of foreign NOLs and $266 million of foreign interest expense carryforwards that may be carried forward indefinitely. These losses and interest carryforwards are expected to be utilized prior to expiration, except for $24 million of federal losses and interest carryforwards and $4 million of foreign losses and interest carryforwards, which, based on current projections, will not be utilized in the future and are subject to a valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company hadnot recorded tax reserves related to unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation Arrangements

In December 2019, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Liberty approved a compensation arrangement (the “former CEO Arrangement”) for our former CEO. Also in December 2019, each of the Service Companies executed an amendment to each Service Company’s services agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which components of the former CEO’s compensation described below were either paid directly to the former CEO by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case based on allocations among Liberty and each of the Service Companies set forth in the service agreement amendments. This allocation percentage was determined based on a combination of (1) relative market capitalizations, weighted 50%, and (2) a blended average of historical time allocation on a Liberty-wide and former CEO basis, weighted 50%, in each case, absent agreement to the contrary by Liberty and the Service Companies in consultation with the former CEO. The allocation percentage was adjusted annually and following certain events. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allocation percentage for Liberty was 54% and 54%, respectively.

The Exchange Agreement provides for exchanges by the Company and Mr. Malone or the JM Trust of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock for shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock in connection with certain events, including (i) any event that would result in a reduction in the outstanding votes of the Company’s common stock or an increase of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power (other than a Voting Power Exchange (as defined below)) (an “Accretive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power would exceed the Target Voting Power plus 0.5%, (ii) from and after the occurrence of any Accretive Event, any event that would result in an increase in the outstanding votes or a decrease of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power (a “Dilutive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power falls below the Target Voting Power less 0.5%, or (iii) on a quarterly basis or in connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders, upon request by Mr. Malone or the JM Trust, if Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company is less than the Target Voting Power and would continue to be less than the Target Voting Power upon completion of such exchange (a “Voting Power Exchange”). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement contains certain provisions with respect to fundamental events at the Company, meaning any combination, consolidation, merger, exchange offer, split-off, spin-off, rights offering or dividend, in each case, as a result of which holders of Series B common stock are entitled to receive securities of the Company, securities of another person, property or cash, or a combination thereof.

In connection with an Accretive Event, Mr. Malone or the JM Trust will be required to exchange with the Company shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock (“Exchanged Series B Shares”) for an equal number of shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock so as to maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In connection with a Dilutive Event, Mr. Malone and the JM Trust may exchange with the Company shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock for an equal number of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock which would maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power and (ii) the number of

II-60

Exchanged Series B Shares at such time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In a Voting Power Exchange, the Company will be required to exchange with Mr. Malone and the JM Trust shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock on aone-for-one basis for shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, with the maximum number of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock to be delivered to Mr. Malone or the JM Trust equal to the number of Exchanged Series B Shares at such time that may be delivered without resulting in Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company exceeding the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement.

On December 8, 2025, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Malone exchanged with the Company 47,297 shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock for an equivalent number of shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock.

However, at this time, and as a result of his resignation from the board of the Company, no further exchanges to maintain the Target Voting Power are expected to be completed under the Exchange Agreement.

John C. Malone’s Employment Agreement

On December 12, 2008, the Committee determined to modify its employment arrangements with Mr. Malone, to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving payments in 2009 while he remains employed by the Company (instead of following his termination) in satisfaction of Liberty’s obligations to him under two deferred compensation plans and a salary continuation plan. Under one of the deferred compensation plans (the “8% Plan”), compensation has been deferred by Mr. Malone since January 1, 1993 and accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. Under the second plan (the “13% Plan”), compensation was deferred by Mr. Malone from 1982 until December 31, 1992 and accrues interest at the rate of 13% per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. The amounts owed to Mr. Malone under the 8% Plan and 13% Plan aggregated approximately $2.4 million and $20 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The amount owed to Mr. Malone under his salary continuation plan aggregated approximately $39 million at December 31, 2008. Mr. Malone will receive 240 equal monthly installments as follows, which began on February 1, 2009: (1) approximately $20,000 under the 8% Plan; (2) approximately $237,000 under the 13% Plan; and (3) approximately $164,000 under the salary continuation plan. Interest ceased to accrue under his salary continuation plan once the payment began.

Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Malone became Liberty’s Chairman Emeritus. Mr. Malone remains an employee of the Company and therefore the terms of Mr. Malone’s employment agreement as our former Chairman apply to his role as our Chairman Emeritus.

New Chairman of the Board

Effective January 1, 2026, Robert R. Bennett was appointed as Chairman of the Board of the Company (the “New Chairman”). See note 12 for the grant made to the New Chairman during the year ended December 31, 2025.

(12) Stock-Based Compensation

Liberty grants Awards to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the GDFV of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

II-61

Pursuant to the Liberty Media Corporation 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), the Company may grant Awards in respect of approximately 12.3 million shares of Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Media Corporation common stock plus the shares remaining available for Awards under the prior Liberty Media Corporation 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), as of close of business on May 24, 2022, the effective date of the 2022 Plan. Any forfeited shares from the 2017 Plan shall also be available again under the 2022 Plan. Awards generally vest over 1-5 years and have a term of 7-8 years. Liberty issues new shares upon exercise of equity awards.

Performance objectives, which are subjective, are considered in determining the timing and amount of the compensation expense recognized. As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is re-measured at each reporting period.

II-62

The Company did not grantany options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For grants made in 2025, 2024 and 2023, the range of expected terms was 5.0 to 5.6 years. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty’s stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options, as applicable. The Company uses azero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options.

The following table presents the ranges of volatilities used by the Company in the Black-Scholes Model for its stock option grants.

Liberty is the sponsor of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Liberty 401(k) Plan”), which provides its employees and the employees of certain of its subsidiaries an opportunity for ownership in the Company and creates a retirement fund. The Liberty 401(k) Plan provides for employees to make contributions to a trust for investment in Liberty common stock, as well as several mutual funds.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

Concorde Agreement

The 2021 Concorde Agreement provided, among other things, for the participation of the teams in the F1 Championship and provided for Formula 1 to make certain prize fund payments to the teams. The 2021 Concorde Agreement expired on December 31, 2025 and was made up of two separate documents: (a) the 2021 Concorde

II-65

Commercial Agreement between Formula 1 and each of the teams; and (b) the 2021 Concorde Governance Agreement between Formula 1, the FIA and each of the Formula 1 Teams.

In March 2025, Formula 1 paid a total of $50 million to the 10 teams currently competing in the F1 Championship as an incentive for signing the 2026 Concorde Commercial Agreement. The $50 million one-time payment to the teams is excluded from Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The 2026 Concorde Commercial Agreement addresses arrangements between Formula 1 and the teams for the F1 Championship seasons covering the period 2026 to 2030, and expires on December 31, 2030. In December 2025, Formula 1, the FIA and the Formula 1 Teams entered into the 2026 Concorde Governance Agreement for the same period.

Guarantees

In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company may retain liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.

Litigation

The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of the liability accrual and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(16) Information About Liberty’s Operating Segments

The Company, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the motorsport and live entertainment industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings (losses) represent 10% or more of the Company’s annual pre-tax earnings (loss).

Liberty’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s reportable segments based on financial measures such as revenue, operating

II-66

expenses (including team payments and other cost of revenue), selling, general and administrative expenses, and Adjusted OIBDA.

For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, Concorde incentive payments and restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. The Company believes this measure 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. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, Concorde incentive payments and restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

The Company has identified the following subsidiaries as its reportable segments:

●Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the F1 Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. The F1 Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of Formula 1 Events taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the F1 Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration.
●MotoGP is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the MotoGP Championship and other motorcycle racing championships. The MotoGP Championship is comprised of a varying number of events taking place in different countries around the world each season.

The Company’sreportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies. The significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company’s summary of significant policies.
