Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty") (Nasdaq: LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA, LVNTB) today reported second quarter 2014 results. Highlights include(1):
Attributed to Liberty Interactive Group
Attributed to Liberty Ventures Group
"QVC posted strong revenue and adjusted OIBDA increases across Europe, with exceptional results in the UK. Our Chinese joint venture posted strong revenue growth, driven by both new and repeat customer transactions and we remain excited about the potential for this enormous market," stated Greg Maffei, Liberty President and CEO. "We were pleased to announce the pending combination of FTD and Provide Commerce in which we will become a 35% owner of FTD. The complementary strengths of these businesses will offer customers an outstanding gifting experience worldwide. This transaction, along with other factors, has led us to re-evaluate the optimal structure of Liberty's digital commerce assets. However, we intend to continue with our plan to create the QVC Group tracking stock, which will be comprised of our interests in QVC and HSN. Regarding Liberty Ventures, we are proceeding with the spin-off of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings and recently filed an amended S-1."
LIBERTY INTERACTIVE GROUP - Liberty Interactive Group's revenue increased 4% to $2.5 billion in the second quarter, adjusted OIBDA declined 1% to $452 million and operating income decreased 5% to $255 million. Both QVC and the eCommerce companies contributed to the increase in revenue for the quarter. The decline in adjusted OIBDA was primarily due to margin declines at the eCommerce companies.
QVC
QVC's consolidated revenue increased 3% to $2.0 billion in the second quarter. Adjusted OIBDA increased 1% to $439 million and operating income was essentially flat at $284 million.
"Our second quarter performance reflects the strategic actions we are taking to extend our highly differentiated retail model across geographies and commerce platforms," said QVC President and CEO Mike George. "We generated solid results, with strong gains in Europe and China and improved growth in the US, partially offset by macro challenges in Japan. As we re-imagine the worlds of shopping, entertainment and social as one, we continue to deliver a high-quality value proposition to our customers, as evidenced by our strong eCommerce and mobile penetration and excellent customer retention."
QVC US's revenue increased 3% to $1.4 billion in the second quarter primarily due to strength in all categories except electronics and jewelry. Average selling price per unit ("ASP") increased 1% to $57.05 from $56.39 and units sold increased 3%. Returns as a percentage of gross product revenue increased 35 basis points. eCommerce revenue increased 7% to $588 million and grew to 43% from 42% as a percentage of total US revenue. Adjusted OIBDA increased 2% to $325 million and adjusted OIBDA margin(2) decreased 35 basis points. Adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily due to continued investment in commerce platforms and eCommerce marketing, which were partially offset by higher product margins.
QVC's international revenue in US Dollars increased 2% to $662 million in the second quarter. The results included the positive impact of the weakening of the US Dollar against the Euro and UK Pound Sterling, which was partially offset by the strengthening of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. Adjusted OIBDA was flat at $114 million and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 35 basis points.
QVC Japan's revenue declined 11% in local currency in the second quarter primarily due to declines in all categories except electronics. The declines in QVC Japan's sales in local currency were primarily due to a local consumption tax increase that became effective April 1, 2014. ASP in local currency decreased 3% and units sold declined 8%. Returns as a percentage of gross product revenue in local currency increased 46 basis points. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency decreased 22% and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 264 basis points. The decrease in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to lack of sales leverage on fixed costs, higher programming distribution expenses and lower product margins.
QVC Germany's revenue increased 5% in local currency in the second quarter. Germany experienced gains in the home category, partially offset by declines in apparel and jewelry. ASP in local currency increased 2% and units sold decreased 3%. Returns as a percentage of gross product revenue in local currency improved 457 basis points primarily due to a positive mix shift from the apparel and jewelry categories to home, which typically returns at lower rates, and to a lesser extent, lower return rates in all categories. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 11% and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 71 basis points. Adjusted OIBDA margin increased primarily due to lower return volume and lower obsolescence expense due to improved inventory management, partially offset by lower product margins.
QVC UK's revenue grew 6% in local currency in the second quarter primarily due to gains in the beauty, accessories, apparel and jewelry categories, partially offset by a decline in electronics. ASP in local currency was flat and units sold increased 6%. Returns as a percentage of gross product revenue in local currency improved 27 basis points. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 18% and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 155 basis points. The increase in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to higher product margins.
QVC Italy's revenue increased 9% in local currency in the second quarter primarily due to gains in the beauty, accessories and apparel categories. ASP in local currency increased 1% and units sold increased 8%. Returns as a percentage of gross product revenue in local currency improved 66 basis points. The adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency improved 68% and adjusted OIBDA margin improved 791 basis points. The increase in adjusted OIBDA margin was primarily due to the revenue growth, lower customer service costs as a result of increased digital ordering and lower product distribution costs.
CNRS, QVC’s joint venture in China, operating under the brand CNR Mall, generated revenue growth of 27% in local currency in the second quarter. Adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency decreased 5% primarily due to revenue growth and higher product margins, partially offset by higher programming distribution costs. This joint venture is being accounted for as an equity method investment, and as a result, QVC reported a $2 million reduction in net income in the second quarter.
QVC's outstanding bank and bond debt was $3.9 billion at June 30, 2014, relatively flat with March 31, 2014.
eCommerce Businesses
In the aggregate, Liberty Interactive Group's eCommerce businesses' revenue increased 10% to $481 million for the second quarter. While Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com and Bodybuilding.com all increased revenue, the increase came in below anticipated levels due to softness in demand for their products and slightly lower average order values. BuySeasons experienced a decrease in revenue as they focused on more profitable channels and cost containment. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 27% to $19 million. The decrease in adjusted OIBDA was due to increased technology and personnel costs at these subsidiaries to support anticipated revenue growth which did not materialize in the quarter, slightly lower product margins, increased packaging costs, increased returns, and increased marketing spend that has not yielded expected sales growth. Operating income decreased $14 million to a loss of $16 million. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to the items discussed above, as well as slightly higher amortization and depreciation, the impairment of intangibles at Evite, somewhat offset by a decline in stock-based compensation based on slower than anticipated growth.
On July 30, 2014, Liberty and FTD announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which FTD will acquire Liberty's Provide Commerce floral and gifting businesses. Under the terms of the $430 million transaction, Liberty will receive 10.2 million shares of FTD common stock representing 35% of the combined company and $121 million in cash. FTD and Liberty expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2014. Provide Commerce's RedEnvelope business will be excluded from the transaction.
On October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to recapitalize its Liberty Interactive Group tracking stock into two new tracking stocks, one (currently the Liberty Interactive Group common stock) to be renamed the QVC Group common stock and the other to be designated as the Liberty Digital Commerce Group common stock. The Liberty Digital Commerce Group would have had attributed to it Liberty's subsidiaries Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, CommerceHub, Right Start, and Evite, along with cash and certain liabilities. The QVC Group, which is currently known as the Liberty Interactive Group, would have attributed to it Liberty’s subsidiary QVC, Inc. and its approximate 38% interest in HSN, Inc., along with cash and certain liabilities.
On July 30, 2014, Liberty provided an update on the proposed QVC Group and Liberty Digital Commerce Group tracking stocks. Liberty reaffirmed its plan to create the QVC Group tracking stock and disclosed that, in light of the pending Provide Commerce transaction discussed above, it was re-evaluating the optimal structure and best alignment of Liberty's digital commerce assets. Management continues to review the proposed recapitalization and no assurance can be given as to when or if it will be completed.
Share Repurchases
From May 1, 2014 through July 31, 2014, Liberty repurchased approximately 9.5 million Series A Liberty Interactive Group shares (Nasdaq: LINTA) at an average cost per share of $28.95 for total cash consideration of $274 million. Since the creation of the Liberty Interactive stock in May 2006, Liberty has repurchased approximately 247.3 million shares at an average cost per share of $20.63 for aggregate cash consideration of $5.1 billion. These repurchases represent approximately 35.3% of the shares outstanding at the time of creation of the Liberty Interactive stock. All repurchases up to August 9, 2012, the date on which the Liberty Interactive stock was recapitalized to create the Liberty Ventures Group stock, were comprised of shares of the combined stocks. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Interactive Group stock is approximately $599 million. In addition, in connection with the approval of the spin-off of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., Liberty's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $350 million worth of shares of Liberty stock, subject to the completion of that spin-off, which authorization may be used to repurchase either Liberty Interactive Group stock or Liberty Ventures Group stock.
Liberty Interactive Group holds controlling interests in companies that are engaged in digital commerce; including QVC, Provide Commerce, Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, BuySeasons, Evite, CommerceHub, and also owns an interest in HSN.
LIBERTY VENTURES GROUP - As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the public equity method securities and other public holdings attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group was $2.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. When compared to March 31, 2014, the fair value of Liberty Ventures Group's public equity method securities increased 3%. The Liberty Ventures Group's other public holdings balance increased 8% primarily due to changes in market prices of certain securities during the second quarter.
On October 10, 2013, Liberty announced that its board had authorized management to pursue a plan to spin-off to holders of its Liberty Ventures Group common stock shares of a newly formed company to be called Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings ("TripAdvisor Holdings"). TripAdvisor Holdings would be comprised of, among other things, Liberty's 22% economic and 57% voting interest in TripAdvisor, as well as the retail business BuySeasons, and an anticipated initial corporate level net debt balance of $350 million. On July 25, 2014, TripAdvisor Holdings filed an amended registration statement with the SEC for this spin-off. For TripAdvisor's stand-alone operating results as reported by TripAdvisor, see TripAdvisor's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Share Repurchases
There were no repurchases of Liberty Ventures Group common stock (Nasdaq: LVNTA) from May 1, 2014 through July 31, 2014. In addition, in connection with the approval of the spin-off of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc., Liberty's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $350 million worth of shares of Liberty stock, subject to the completion of that spin-off, which authorization may be used to repurchase either Liberty Interactive Group stock or Liberty Ventures Group stock.
The businesses and assets attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group are all of Liberty's businesses and assets other than those attributed to the Liberty Interactive Group and include its subsidiary TripAdvisor, its interest in Expedia, and minority interests in Time Warner and Time Warner Cable.

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Liberty, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), and the eCommerce businesses together with a reconciliation to that entity's operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding all stock based compensation, and excludes from that definition depreciation and amortization and restructuring and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Further, this press release includes adjusted OIBDA margin which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Liberty defines adjusted OIBDA margin as adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.
Liberty believes adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business' ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Liberty views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Liberty's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.
SCHEDULE 1
The following table provides a reconciliation of Liberty Interactive Group's adjusted OIBDA to its operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 respectively.
