Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. See note 3 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for an overview of accounting standards that we have adopted or that we plan to adopt that have had or may have an impact on our financial statements.

Overview

We own controlling and non-controlling interests in a broad range of media and entertainment companies. Our most significant operating subsidiary, which is a reportable segment, is Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Holdings”). Sirius XM Holdings operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses, Sirius XM and Pandora and Off-platform. Sirius XM features music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, news, traffic and weather channels and other content, as well as podcasts and infotainment services, in the United States (“U.S.”) on a subscription fee basis. Sirius XM’s packages include live, curated and certain exclusive and on demand programming. Sirius XM is distributed through its two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via the SXM App for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Sirius XM also provides connected vehicle services and a suite of in-vehicle data services. The Pandora and Off-platform business operates a music, comedy and podcast streaming platform. Pandora is available as an ad-supported radio service, a radio subscription service, called Pandora Plus, and an on-demand subscription service, called Pandora Premium.

Formula 1 is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary and is also a reportable segment. Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World 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 World Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of events (“Events”) taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration.

Our “Corporate and Other” category includes a consolidated subsidiary, Braves Holdings, LLC (“Braves Holdings”), an investment in Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“Live Nation”) and corporate expenses. We also maintain minority positions in other public companies.

As discussed in note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on April 15, 2016, Liberty completed the Recapitalization, which created three new tracking stock groups. 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. While the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Liberty Braves Group (the “Braves Group”) and Formula One Group have separate collections of businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to them, no group is a separate legal entity and therefore cannot own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements. Therefore, the Liberty SiriusXM Group, Braves Group and Formula One Group do not represent separate legal entities, but rather represent those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to each respective group. Holders of tracking stock have no direct claim to the group’s stock or assets and therefore, do not own, by virtue of their ownership of a Liberty tracking stock, any equity or voting interest in a company, such as Sirius XM Holdings or Live Nation, in which Liberty holds an interest that is attributed to a Liberty tracking stock group, such as the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Holders of tracking stock are also not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of the parent corporation, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of the parent corporation.

As part of the Recapitalization, the Formula One Group initially held a 20% intergroup interest in the Braves Group. As a result of a rights offering in May 2016 to holders of Liberty Braves common stock to acquire shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was adjusted to 9,084,940, representing a 15.1% intergroup interest in the Braves Group at December 31, 2019. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Formula One Group began purchasing shares of Liberty SiriusXM

common stock. As of December 31, 2019, the number of notional shares representing the intergroup interest held by the Formula One Group was 493,278, representing a 0.2% intergroup interest in the Liberty SiriusXM Group.

On April 22, 2020, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved the immediate reattribution of certain assets and liabilities between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group (collectively, the “reattribution”).

The assets reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group, valued at $2.8 billion, consisted of:

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","\u25cf","Liberty\u2019s entire Live Nation stake, consisting of approximately 69.6 million shares of Live Nation common stock;"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","\u25cf","a newly-created Formula One Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 5.3 million notional shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, to cover exposure under Liberty\u2019s 1.375% cash convertible senior notes due 2023 (the \u201cConvertible Notes\u201d);"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

[["","\u25cf","the bond hedge and warrants associated with the Convertible Notes;"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

[["","\u25cf","the entire Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest, consisting of approximately 1.9 million notional shares of Liberty SiriusXM common stock, thereby eliminating the Liberty SiriusXM Group intergroup interest; and"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","\u25cf","a portion, consisting of approximately 2.3 million notional shares of Liberty Braves common stock, of the Formula One Group\u2019s intergroup interest in the Braves Group, to cover exposure under the Convertible Notes."]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The reattributed liabilities, valued at $1.3 billion, consisted of:

●the Convertible Notes;

●Liberty’s 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2048; and

●Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation (“Live Nation Margin Loan”).  

Similarly, $1.5 billion of net asset value was reattributed from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, comprised of:

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","\u25cf","a call spread between the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to 34.8 million of the Live Nation shares that were reattributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group; and"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","\u25cf","a net cash payment of $1.4 billion from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group, which was funded by a combination of (x) cash on hand, (y) an additional $400 million drawn from the Company\u2019s existing margin loan secured by shares of common stock of Sirius XM Holdings, and (z) the creation of an intergroup loan obligation from the Liberty SiriusXM Group to the Formula One Group in the principal amount of $750 million, plus interest thereon, which was repaid with the proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering described below (the \u201cIntergroup Loan\u201d)."]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The reattribution is reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a prospective basis.

The term “Liberty SiriusXM Group” does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of December 31, 2022, the Liberty SiriusXM Group is primarily comprised of Liberty’s interests in Sirius XM Holdings and Live Nation, corporate cash, Liberty’s 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 and related financial instruments, Liberty’s 2.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048, Liberty’s 2.75% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2049, Liberty’s 0.5% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2050 and margin loan obligations incurred by wholly-owned special purpose subsidiaries of Liberty. As of December 31, 2022, the Liberty SiriusXM Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $362 million, which includes $57 million of subsidiary cash. Additionally, the Liberty SiriusXM Group holds intergroup interests in the Formula One Group and Braves Group of approximately 1.7% and 2.9%, respectively, valued at $223 million and $59 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.

The term “Braves Group” does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of December 31, 2022, the Braves Group is primarily comprised

II-5

Table of Contents

of Braves Holdings, which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Club (“ANLBC” or the “Braves”), certain assets and liabilities associated with the Braves’ stadium (“Truist Park” or the “Stadium”) and a mixed-use development around Truist Park that features retail, office, hotel and entertainment opportunities (the “Mixed-Use Development”) and corporate cash. As of December 31, 2022, the Braves Group has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $151 million, which includes $81 million of subsidiary cash. Additionally, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group retain intergroup interests in the Braves Group.

The term “Formula One Group” does not represent a separate legal entity, rather it represents those businesses, assets and liabilities that have been attributed to that group. As of December 31, 2022, the Formula One Group is primarily comprised of all of the businesses, assets and liabilities of Liberty other than those specifically attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group or the Braves Group, including Liberty’s interest in Formula 1, cash, Liberty’s 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 and Liberty’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. The Formula One Group also has an intergroup interest in the Braves Group of approximately 11.0%, valued at $219 million as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Formula One Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,733 million, which includes $752 million of subsidiary cash.

On April 22, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized management of the Company to cause subscription rights (the “Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights”) to purchase shares of Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“LSXMK”), in a rights offering (the “LSXMK rights offering”) to be distributed to holders of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, Series B Liberty SiriusXM common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and LSXMK. In the LSXMK rights offering, Liberty distributed 0.0939 of a Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right for each share of Series A, Series B or Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2020. Fractional Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights were rounded up to the nearest whole right. Each whole Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right entitled the holder to purchase, pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, one share of LSXMK at a subscription price of $25.47, which was equal to an approximate 20% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of LSXMK for the 3-day trading period ending on and including May 8, 2020. Each Series C Liberty SiriusXM Right also entitled the holder to subscribe for additional shares of LSXMK that were unsubscribed for in the LSXMK rights offering pursuant to an oversubscription privilege. The LSXMK rights offering commenced on May 18, 2020, which was also the ex-dividend date for the distribution of the Series C Liberty SiriusXM Rights. The LSXMK rights offering expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 5, 2020 and was fully subscribed with 29,594,089 shares of LSXMK issued to those rightsholders exercising basic and, if applicable, oversubscription privileges. The proceeds from the LSXMK rights offering, which aggregated approximately $754 million, were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Intergroup Loan and accrued interest.

During November 2022, the Board of Directors authorized management of the Company to pursue a plan to redeem each outstanding share of its Liberty Braves common stock in exchange for one share of the corresponding series of common stock of a newly formed entity, Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. (the “Split-Off”). Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. will be comprised of the businesses, assets and liabilities attributed to the Braves Group. The intergroup interests in the Braves Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and Formula One Group remaining immediately prior to the Split-Off, however, will be settled and extinguished in connection with the Split-Off.

Following the Split-Off, the Company intends to reclassify its then-outstanding shares of common stock into three new tracking stocks to be designated Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Liberty Formula One common stock and Liberty Live common stock, and, in connection therewith, provide for the attribution of the businesses, assets and liabilities of the Company’s remaining tracking stock groups among its newly created Liberty SiriusXM Group, Formula One Group and Liberty Live Group (the “Reclassification”).

The Split-Off and the Reclassification will be subject to various conditions. Both transactions will be conditioned on, among other things, certain requisite approvals of the holders of the Company’s common stock and the receipt of opinions of tax counsel. In addition, the Split-Off will be conditioned on the requisite approval of Major League Baseball and the receipt of an IRS ruling. Further, the Reclassification is dependent and conditioned on the approval and completion of the Split-Off, and will not be implemented unless the Split-Off is completed; however, the Split-Off is not dependent upon the approval of the Reclassification and may be implemented even if the Reclassification is not approved. Each of

the Split-Off and the Reclassification is intended to be tax-free to stockholders of the Company. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions, the Company expects to complete the Split-Off and the Reclassification in the first half of 2023.

As a result of coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”), the start of the 2020 Formula 1 race calendar, comprised of 17 Events, and the Major League Baseball season, comprised of 60 regular season games, were delayed until the beginning of July 2020 and end of July 2020, respectively. In addition, in mid-March 2020, Live Nation suspended all large-scale live entertainment events due to COVID-19. The 2021 regular baseball season was comprised of 161 games, which approximates the number of regular season games held in years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Formula 1 originally scheduled 23 Events in 2021, and after a number of Events were cancelled and/or replaced, a record 22 Events took place. Braves Holdings and Formula 1 had limitations on the number of fans in attendance at certain games and Events in 2021, thereby reducing revenue associated with fan attendance. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, Live Nation saw a meaningful restart of its operations, with growth in ticket sales, new sponsor partners and the resumption of shows, primarily in the U.S. and United Kingdom (“U.K.”). In 2022, the Braves played a full 162 game schedule and Formula 1 held 22 Events. Although Formula 1, Braves Holdings and Live Nation saw a more complete return to normal business operations, schedules and events in 2022, it is unclear whether and to what extent COVID-19 concerns, or a future pandemic or epidemic, will impact the use of and/or demand for the entertainment, events and services provided by these businesses and demand for sponsorship and advertising assets. If these businesses face cancelled events, closed venues and reduced attendance in the future, the impact may substantially decrease our revenue. Due to the revenue reductions caused by COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, these businesses have looked to reduce expenses, but should such impacts resume, the businesses may not be able to reduce expenses to the same degree as any decline in revenue, which may adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue increased $764 million and $2,037 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The 2022 increase was driven by increases at Formula 1, Sirius XM Holdings and Braves Holdings of $437 million, $307 million and $20 million, respectively. The 2021 increase was driven by increases at Formula 1, Sirius XM Holdings and Braves Holdings of $991 million, $656 million and $390 million, respectively. See “Results of Operations—Businesses” below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings.

Operating income. Our consolidated operating income increased $87 million and $1,800 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The 2022 increase was driven by $147 million and $13 million increases in Formula 1 and Sirius XM Holdings operating results, respectively, partially offset by a $46 million decrease in Braves Holdings operating results. The 2021 increase was driven by $1,155 million, $478 million and $152 million increases in Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings operating results, respectively. See “Results of Operations—Businesses” below for a more complete discussion of the results of operations of Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation includes compensation related to (1) options and stock appreciation rights for shares of our common stock that are granted to certain of our officers and employees, (2) phantom stock appreciation rights granted to officers and employees of certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to private equity plans and (3) amortization of restricted stock grants.

We recorded $237 million, $256 million and $261 million of stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2022 as compared to 2021 is primarily due to decreases of $14 million and $5 million at Formula 1 and Sirius XM Holdings, respectively. The decrease in stock compensation expense in 2021 as compared to 2020 is primarily due to a decrease of $21 million at Sirius XM Holdings, partially offset by increases of $6 million and $4 million at Braves Holdings and Formula 1, respectively.

Adjusted OIBDA. To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we also disclose Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. Our chief operating decision maker and management team use this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate our businesses and make decisions about allocating resources among our businesses. We believe this is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our 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 us to view operating results, perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. 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

Interest expense. Consolidated interest expense increased $47 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. During the year ended December 31, 2022, interest expense for the Liberty Sirius XM Group increased as compared to the corresponding prior year primarily due to an increase in interest rates on the margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock and interest expense for the Formula One Group increased as compared to the corresponding prior year primarily due to an increase in interest rates on Formula 1’s Senior Loan Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2021, interest expense for the Liberty SiriusXM Group increased as compared to the corresponding prior year due to an increase in the average amount of corporate and subsidiary debt outstanding. Interest expense for the Formula One Group decreased during the year ended December 21, 2021 as compared to the corresponding prior year due to a decrease in the average amount of corporate and subsidiary debt outstanding. As previously disclosed, certain debt was reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group effective April 22, 2020. The interest related to such debt is reflected in interest expense for the Formula One Group prior to the reattribution and in interest expense for the Liberty SiriusXM Group following the reattribution.

Liberty’s interest in Live Nation was reattributed from the Formula One Group to the Liberty SiriusXM Group effective April 22, 2020. Due to the impact of COVID-19, Live Nation recorded significant losses during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The changes in unrealized gains (losses) on debt and equity securities (as defined in note 3 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements) are due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the stock underlying these financial instruments.

Changes in unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value are due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable.

Liberty issued $1 billion of cash convertible notes and entered into a bond hedge transaction on the same amount of underlying shares in October 2013. These derivatives are marked to fair value on a recurring basis. The primary driver of the change in the fair value of bond hedges is the change in the fair value of the underlying stock.

Other unrealized gains (losses) are primarily driven by changes in the fair value of Formula 1’s interest rate swaps.

Gains (losses) on dilution of investment in affiliate. The gains on dilution of investments in affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2021, was driven by a common stock offering of approximately 5.2 million shares by Live Nation during September 2021.

Other, net. Other, net income increased during 2022, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to gains on extinguishment of debt related to Liberty SiriusXM Group corporate debt and Formula One Group corporate debt. The increase for 2022 was also driven by an increase in interest income and gains on the sale of three minor league teams at Braves Holdings. The increase in other, net expense in 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily driven by an increase in losses on extinguishment of debt related to Sirius XM Holdings.

Income taxes. The Company had income tax expense of $164 million, income tax expense of $45 million and income tax benefit of $44 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was 7%, 6% and 3%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for all three years was impacted for the following reasons:

On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings governing the allocation of consolidated U.S. income tax liabilities and setting forth agreements with respect to other tax matters when one corporation owns stock representing at least 80% of the voting power and value of the outstanding capital stock of the other corporation. On November 1, 2021, Liberty entered into an exchange agreement with certain counterparties to acquire an aggregate of 43,658,800 shares of Sirius XM Holdings common stock in exchange for the issuance by Liberty to the counterparties of an aggregate of 5,347,320 shares of Series A Liberty SiriusXM common stock. Following the closing of the exchange on November 3, 2021, Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings became members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. The tax sharing agreement with Sirius XM Holdings, dated February 1, 2021, governs the allocation of consolidated and combined tax liabilities and sets forth agreements with respect to other tax matters. The tax sharing agreement and Sirius XM Holdings’ inclusion in the Company’s consolidated federal income tax group is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. See note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the tax sharing agreement.

Net earnings. We had net earnings of $2,029 million, earnings of $744 million and losses of $1,391 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in net earnings was the result of the above-described fluctuations in our revenue, expenses and other gains and losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in U.S. Treasury securities, other government securities or government guaranteed funds, AAA rated money market funds and other highly rated financial and corporate debt instruments.

The following are potential sources of liquidity: available cash balances, cash generated by the operating activities of our subsidiaries (to the extent such cash exceeds the working capital needs of the subsidiaries and is not otherwise restricted), proceeds from net asset sales, monetization of our public investment portfolio (including derivatives), debt borrowings and equity issuances, available borrowing capacity under margin loans, and dividend and interest receipts.

The Company has a controlling interest in Sirius XM Holdings which has significant cash flows provided by operating activities, although due to Sirius XM Holdings being a separate public company and the significant noncontrolling interest, we do not have ready access to its cash. Cash held by Formula 1 is accessible by Liberty, except when a restricted payment (“RP”) test imposed by the first lien term loans and the revolving credit facility at Formula 1 is not met. Pursuant to the RP test, Liberty does not have access to Formula 1’s cash when Formula 1’s leverage ratio (defined as net debt divided by covenant earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the trailing twelve months) exceeds a certain threshold. As of December 31, 2022, Formula 1 has not made any distributions to Liberty. If distributions are made in the future, the RP test, pro forma for such distributions, would have to be met. As of December 31, 2022, Liberty had $875 million available under Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings and $400 million available under Liberty’s margin loan secured by shares of Live Nation. Liberty believes that it currently has appropriate legal structures in place to repatriate foreign cash as tax efficiently as possible and meet the business needs of the Company.

As stated in note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company, Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings are in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2022.

See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for disclosures related to the anticipated effects of the transition away from London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark for establishing the rate of interest on Liberty’s margin loans, Sirius XM Holdings’ borrowings under its credit facility (except for the incremental term loan, which carries a variable interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and Braves Holdings’ borrowings under its mixed-use credit facilities.

​

Liberty’s primary uses of corporate cash during the year ended December 31, 2022 (excluding cash used by Sirius XM Holdings, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings) were $2.0 billion of debt repayments, $358 million of Series A and Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock repurchases, $241 million to purchase land adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip in support of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix and $37 million of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock repurchases. These uses were primarily funded by the issuance of $475 million aggregate principal amount of Liberty’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 and $350 million of borrowings under the margin loans secured by shares of Live Nation and Sirius XM Holdings, dividends from Sirius XM Holdings and cash on hand.

Sirius XM Holdings’ primary uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2022 were dividends paid to stockholders, repurchase and retirement of outstanding Sirius XM Holdings common stock, additions to property and equipment and acquisitions. The Sirius XM Holdings uses of cash were funded by borrowings of debt and cash provided by operating activities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings declared quarterly dividends and a special dividend and paid in cash an aggregate amount of $1,339 million, of which Liberty received $1,090 million.

Braves Holdings’ primary use of cash during the year ended December 31, 2022 was debt service, funded primarily by cash on hand, cash from operations and distributions from equity method affiliates.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Formula 1 had $477 million of net debt repayments, funded primarily by cash on hand and cash from operations.

The projected uses of Liberty’s cash (excluding Sirius XM Holdings’, Formula 1’s and Braves Holdings’ uses of cash) are primarily capital expenditures, the investment in new or existing businesses, debt service, including further repayment of the margin loan secured by shares of Sirius XM Holdings and the potential buyback of common stock under the approved share buyback program. Liberty expects to fund its projected uses of cash with cash on hand, borrowing capacity under margin loans and outstanding or new debt instruments, or dividends or distributions from operating subsidiaries. Liberty expects to receive quarterly cash dividends from Sirius XM Holdings, which are non-taxable because Liberty and Sirius XM Holdings are members of the same consolidated federal income tax group. Net payments of income tax liabilities may be required to settle items under discussion with tax authorities.

Sirius XM Holdings’ uses of cash are expected to be capital expenditures, including the construction of replacement satellites, working capital requirements, interest payments, repurchases of outstanding Sirius XM Holdings common stock, interest payments, taxes and scheduled maturities of outstanding debt. In addition, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors expects to declare regular quarterly dividends. On January 25, 2023, Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.0242 per share of common stock, payable on February 24, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 9, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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. Listed below are the accounting estimates that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. All of these accounting estimates and assumptions, as well as the resulting impact to our financial statements, have been discussed with our audit committee.

Non-Financial Instrument Valuations. Our non-financial instrument valuations are primarily comprised of our determination of the estimated fair value allocation of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations, our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangibles, such as trademarks, and our evaluation of the recoverability of our other long-lived assets upon certain triggering events. If the carrying value of our long-lived assets exceeds their estimated fair value, we are required to write the carrying value down to fair value. Any such writedown is included in impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of operations. A high degree of judgment is required to estimate the fair value of our long-lived assets. We may use quoted market prices, prices for similar assets, present value techniques and other valuation techniques to prepare these estimates. We may need to make estimates of future cash flows and discount rates as well as other assumptions in order to implement these valuation techniques. Due to the high degree of judgment involved in our estimation techniques, any value ultimately derived from our long-lived assets may differ from our estimate of fair value. As each of our operating segments has long-lived assets, this critical accounting policy affects the financial position and results of operations of each segment.

As of December 31, 2022, the intangible assets not subject to amortization for each of our consolidated reportable segments were as follows (amounts in millions):

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b","\u200b"],["\u200b","","Goodwill","","FCC Licenses","","Other","","Total"],["Sirius XM Holdings","\u200b","$","15,209","","8,600","","1,242","","25,051","\u200b"],["Formula 1","\u200b","\u200b","3,956","\u200b","\u2014","\u200b","\u2014","\u200b","3,956","\u200b"],["Other","\u200b","","176","","\u2014","","124","","300","\u200b"],["Consolidated","\u200b","$","19,341","","8,600","","1,366","","29,307","\u200b"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

We perform our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill and other nonamortizable intangible assets in the fourth quarter 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 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 year 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.

Useful Life of Broadcast/Transmission System. Sirius XM Holdings’ satellite system includes the costs of satellite construction, launch vehicles, launch insurance, capitalized interest, spare satellites, terrestrial repeater network and satellite uplink facilities. Sirius XM Holdings monitors its satellites for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable.

Sirius XM Holdings operates two in-orbit Sirius satellites, FM-5 and FM-6, which launched in 2009 and 2013, respectively, and estimates they will operate effectively through the end of their depreciable lives in 2024 and 2028, respectively.

Sirius XM Holdings currently operates four in-orbit XM satellites, XM-3, XM-4, XM-5 and SXM-8. The XM-3 satellite, launched in 2005, and the XM-4 satellite, launched in 2006, are used as in-orbits spares and reached the end of their depreciable lives in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The XM-5 satellite was launched in 2010 and is expected to reach the end of its depreciable life in 2025. SXM-7 was launched into a geostationary orbit in December 2020 and in-orbit testing of SXM-7 began on January 4, 2021. During in-orbit testing of SXM-7, events occurred which caused failures of certain SXM-7 payload units. The evaluation of SXM-7 concluded that the satellite would not function as intended and the asset was fully impaired in 2021. The SXM-8 satellite was successfully launched into a geostationary orbit on June 6, 2021 and was placed into service on September 8, 2021 following the completion of in-orbit testing. The SXM-8 satellite replaced the XM-3 satellite. Sirius XM Holdings has entered into agreements for the design and construction of four additional satellites, SXM-9, SXM-10, SXM-11 and SXM-12. Sirius XM Holdings has also entered into agreements to launch two of these satellites.

Sirius XM Holdings’ satellites have been designed to last fifteen-years. Sirius XM Holdings’ in-orbit satellites may experience component failures which could adversely affect their useful lives. Sirius XM Holdings monitors the operating condition of its in-orbit satellites and if events or circumstances indicate that the depreciable lives of its in-orbit satellites have changed, the depreciable life will be modified accordingly. If Sirius XM Holdings were to revise its estimates, depreciation expense would change.

Income Taxes. We are required to estimate the amount of tax payable or refundable for the current year and the deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in our financial statements or tax returns for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. This process requires our management to make judgments regarding the timing and probability of the ultimate tax impact of the various agreements and transactions that we enter into. Based on these judgments we may record tax reserves or adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets to reflect the expected realizability of future tax benefits. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our inability to generate sufficient future taxable income or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year’s liability by taxing authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on our financial position.

Sirius XM’s primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of its customers subscribing to monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual plans. Sirius XM also derives revenue from advertising on select non-music channels, which is sold under the SXM Media brand, direct sales of Sirius XM’s satellite radios and accessories, and other ancillary services. As of December 31, 2022, Sirius XM had approximately 34.3 million subscribers.

In addition to Sirius XM’s audio entertainment businesses, it provides connected vehicle services to several automakers. These services are designed to enhance the safety, security and driving experience of consumers. Sirius XM also offers a suite of data services that includes graphical weather, fuel prices, sports schedules and scores and movie listings, a traffic information service that includes information as to road closings, traffic flow and incident data to consumers with compatible in-vehicle navigation systems, and real-time weather services in vehicles, boats and planes.

In May 2020, Sirius XM terminated the Automatic Labs Inc. (“Automatic”) service, which was part of its connected services business.  Automatic operated a service for consumers and auto dealers and offered an install-it-yourself adapter and mobile application, which transformed vehicles into connected vehicles.

Sirius XM also holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Canada”). Sirius XM Canada's subscribers are not included in Sirius XM’s subscriber count or subscriber-based operating metrics.

Pandora operates a music and podcast streaming discovery platform, offering a personalized experience for each listener wherever and whenever they want to listen, whether through computers, tablets, mobile devices, vehicle speakers or connected devices.

As of December 31, 2022, Pandora had approximately 6.2 million subscribers.

The majority of Pandora’s revenue is generated from advertising on its ad-supported radio service which is sold under the SXM Media brand. Pandora also derives subscription revenue from its Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers.

Pandora also sells advertising on other audio platforms and in widely distributed podcasts, which it considers to be off-platform services.  Pandora has an arrangement with SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”) to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries and offer advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. Sirius XM Holdings also has arrangements to serve as the ad sales representative for certain podcasts. In addition, through AdsWizz, Inc. (“AdsWizz”), Pandora provides a comprehensive digital audio and programmatic advertising technology platform, which connects audio publishers and advertisers with a variety of ad insertion, campaign trafficking, yield optimization, programmatic buying, marketplace and podcast monetization solutions.

In February 2020, Sirius XM Holdings completed a $75 million investment in SoundCloud. SoundCloud is a next-generation music entertainment company, powered by an ecosystem of artists, listeners, and curators on the pulse of what's new, now and next in music culture. SoundCloud’s platform enables its users to upload, promote, share and create audio entertainment.  

In October 2020, Sirius XM Holdings acquired the assets of Stitcher from The E.W. Scripps Company and certain of its subsidiaries (“Scripps”) for total consideration of $302 million, which included $266 million in cash and $36 million related to contingent consideration. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings recognized a $17 million benefit related to the change in fair value of the 2021 portion of the contingent consideration related to the Stitcher transaction. Refer to note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on these acquisitions.

Sirius XM Subscriber revenue includes self-pay and paid promotional subscriptions, U.S. Music Royalty Fees and other ancillary fees. Subscriber revenue increased 5% and 4% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increases for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were primarily driven by growth in Sirius XM’s average monthly revenue per subscriber of 6% and 5%, respectively, and in Sirius XM’s self-pay subscriber base of 1% and 4%, respectively, driving higher self-pay revenue and U.S. Music Royalty Fees, partially offset by lower revenue generated from automakers offering paid promotional subscriptions.

Sirius XM Advertising revenue includes the sale of advertising on Sirius XM’s non-music channels. Advertising revenue increased 4% and 20% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increases for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were due to a greater number of spots sold and aired, primarily on sports and news channels.

Sirius XM Equipment revenue includes revenue and royalties for the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories. Equipment revenue decreased 6% and increased 16% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2022 was driven by lower royalties due to supplier cost increases related to semiconductor supply shortages as well as lower radio sales, partially offset by higher chipset production driven by an increase in Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) demand. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was driven by higher royalty revenue from new vehicle production as automakers pushed to get back to pre-COVID-19 manufacturing levels during the first half of 2021 and due to Sirius XM’s transition to a new generation of chipsets, partially offset by semiconductor supply shortages in the second half of 2021.

Sirius XM Other revenue includes service and advisory revenue from Sirius XM Canada, connected vehicle services, and ancillary revenue. Other revenue decreased 1% and 3% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by lower revenue from Sirius XM’s connected vehicle services, partially offset by higher revenue generated by Sirius XM Canada. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by lower revenue generated by rental car arrangements.

Pandora and Off-platform subscriber revenue includes fees charged for Pandora Plus, Pandora Premium, Stitcher and Simplecast subscriptions. Pandora and Off-platform subscriber revenue decreased 2% and increased 3% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by the decline in Pandora’s subscriber base. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the inclusion of Stitcher during the full year 2021 as well as a 3% increase in average subscribers from 2020.

Pandora and Off-platform advertising revenue is generated primarily from audio, display and video advertising from on-platform and off-platform advertising. Pandora and Off-platform advertising revenue increased 2% and 30% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by additional revenue generated by the Off-platform and podcast businesses, partially offset by a decline in on-platform revenue. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by strong monetization of on-platform programming to $102.74 per thousand hours, and higher off-platform revenue as well as a full year of Stitcher revenue.

Subscriber acquisition costs are costs associated with Sirius XM’s satellite radio and include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers, subsidies paid for chipsets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chipsets; product warranty obligations; and freight. The majority of subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance of acquiring a subscriber. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, subscriber acquisition costs increased 8% and decreased 10%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2022 increase was primarily driven by OEM installations, which grew 10% from 2021. The 2021 decrease was driven by lower subsidies from contract improvements with certain automakers as well as lower costs resulting from the semiconductor supply shortages during 2021, partially offset by slightly higher OEM installations.

Selling, general and administrative (excluding litigation settlement) expense includes costs of marketing, advertising, media and production, including promotional events and sponsorships; cooperative and artist marketing; personnel related costs; facilities costs, finance, legal, human resources and information technology costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 3% and 9% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The 2022 increase was primarily driven by additional investments in advertising and marketing to support Sirius XM Holdings’ brands and streaming marketing expenditures and higher legal, data center and consulting costs, partially offset by lower personnel-related costs. The 2021 increase was primarily due to higher brand media, streaming and trial-related direct marketing costs as well as higher personnel-related, consulting and technology costs, partially offset by lower charitable contributions.

Other operating expense includes engineering, design and development costs consisting primarily of compensation and related costs to develop chipsets and new products and services. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, other operating expense increased 7% and 4%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Litigation settlements and reserves for the year ended December 31, 2020 relates to the reversal of a pre-Pandora acquisition reserve of $16 million for royalties. This benefit is included in the revenue share and royalties line item in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and has been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA as it was not part of Sirius XM Holdings’ normal operations and does not relate to the on-going performance of the business.

Stock-based compensation decreased 2% and 9% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2022 decrease is primarily due to a decrease in Sirius XM’s stock-based compensation and the 2021 decrease is primarily due to a decrease in Pandora’s stock-based compensation.

Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries include impairment charges associated with intangible assets, impairment charges, net of insurance recoveries, associated with the SXM-7 satellite, restructuring expenses associated with the abandonment of certain leased office spaces and acquisition costs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Sirius XM Holdings recorded $43 million of restructuring costs related to the termination of certain software projects, $16 million related to the impairment of vacated office spaces, $5 million related to the impairment of property and equipment located at the impaired office spaces, $6 million related to personnel severance and $2 million of acquisition costs, partially offset by a $4 million gain on the sale of real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Sirius XM Holdings recorded $220 million of insurance recoveries, which offset the $220 million impairment recorded to the carrying value of the SXM-7 satellite after it experienced failures of certain payload units during in-orbit testing, restructuring costs of $25 million resulting from the termination of leased office space, acquisition costs of $12 million and reversed a $17 million liability related to the Stitcher acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Sirius XM Holdings recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $956 million related to the Pandora reporting unit, a $20 million impairment of Pandora’s trademark, costs associated with the termination of the Automatic service and costs associated with the acquisitions of Simplecast and Stitcher.

Depreciation and amortization increased 1% and 5% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increases were due to higher depreciation expense related to additional assets placed in service.

Formula One Group

Formula 1. Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the World 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 World Championship takes place on various circuits throughout the world. Formula 1 derives its primary revenue from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of entering into race promotion, media rights and sponsorship arrangements. A significant majority of the race promotion, media rights and sponsorship contracts specify payments in advance and annual increases in the fees payable over the course of the contracts.

The 2022 World Championship consisted of 22 Events, following the cancellation of the Russian Grand Prix, with record attendance and hospitality numbers well above pre-COVID-19 levels. The 2021 World Championship was originally scheduled to have 23 Events. Despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the cancellation and / or replacement of certain Events, the 2021 World Championship consisted of a record 22 Events. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the 2020 season was postponed, with certain Events being cancelled, certain new Events being added and others rescheduled to later dates. The 2020 World Championship revised calendar consisted of 17 Events.

Primary Formula 1 revenue is derived from the commercial exploitation and development of the World Championship through a combination of race promotion fees (earned from granting the rights to host, stage and promote each Event on the World Championship calendar, fees from certain race promoters to license additional commercial rights from Formula 1 to secure Formula 2 and Formula 3 races at their Events and from technical service fees from promoters to support the origination of program footage), media rights fees (earned from licensing the right to broadcast Events and Formula 2 and Formula 3 races on television and other platforms, F1 TV subscriptions and other related services, the origination of program footage, footage from Formula 1’s archives and the licensing of radio broadcast and other ancillary media rights) and sponsorship fees (earned from the sale of World Championship and Event-related advertising and sponsorship rights and the servicing of such rights, rights to advertise on Formula 1’s digital platforms and at non-Championship related events).

Primary Formula 1 revenue increased $257 million and $821 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Sponsorship revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year, due to revenue from new sponsors. Race promotion revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year, due to higher fees generated from the mix of Events held, with three additional races held outside of Europe compared to 2021 and no one-time changes to the terms of contractual arrangements, as was the case for a limited number of Events in 2021. Media rights revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the prior year, due to growth in F1 TV subscription revenue as well as increased revenue pursuant to certain new and renewed broadcasting agreements.

Race promotion revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year, driven by five more Events in 2021, with the 2021 World Championship including more non-European events. In addition, fan attendance increased at Events as 2021 progressed, with a return to full capacity crowds at a number of Events. In comparison to 2020, there were only a limited number of one-time changes to the contractual terms of Events in 2021 as a result of limitations on fan attendance. During the year ended December 31, 2021, a one-time settlement related to another Event, relieving a race promoter from its obligation to stage a race that was originally scheduled to be held in 2020, also contributed to the increase in race promotion revenue.

Media rights revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year, driven by higher broadcasting fees in 2021 due to more Events, improved terms in certain new and renewed broadcasting agreements, other contractual rate increases, and strong growth in F1 TV subscription revenue. Sponsorship revenue

increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year, driven by revenue from new sponsors and the impact of five more Events in 2021.

Other Formula 1 revenue is generated from miscellaneous and ancillary sources primarily related to facilitating the shipment of cars and equipment to and from events outside of Europe, revenue from the sale of tickets to the Formula One Paddock Club at most Events, support races at Events, various television production activities and other ancillary operations.

Other Formula 1 revenue increased $180 million and $170 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2022 increase was primarily due to the ability to undertake a greater scope of activities when compared to 2021 due to the reduced impact of COVID-19. The Formula One Paddock Club operated at 19 Events in 2022 compared to only 11 Events during 2021, with increased attendance at 2022 Events. In addition, freight revenue increased in 2022 as compared to 2021 due to the increased number of Events outside of Europe and the impact of freight cost inflation on billing rates. The 2021 increase was driven by hospitality revenue generated from the sale of tickets to the Formula One Paddock Club, which only operated at one Event in 2020 due to COVID-19 related restrictions, higher licensing revenue from growth in gaming royalties and new contracts and higher freight and travel income from five more Events as well as more Events outside of Europe.

Cost of Formula 1 revenue consists primarily of team payments. Other costs of Formula 1 revenue are largely variable in nature and relate to both primary and other Formula 1 revenue. The largest components of other costs of Formula 1 revenue include hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of the Paddock Club, and those incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical services. Other costs of Formula 1 revenue also include circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities, annual Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (“FIA”) regulatory fees, advertising and sponsorship commissions, Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars, parts and maintenance services, television production and post-production services, advertising production services and digital and social media activities.

Cost of Formula 1 revenue increased $261 million and $515 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.

Team payments increased $89 million and $357 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, driven by increases in Formula 1 revenue and the associated impact on the calculation of variable Prize Fund elements, which are calculated with reference to Formula 1’s revenue and costs.  

Other costs of Formula 1 revenue increased $172 million and $158 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2022 increase was primarily driven by the impact of three more Events outside of Europe and inflation on freight costs and the impact of servicing eight additional Formula One Paddock Club events, combined with higher attendance at such events. The 2022 increase was also due to the impact of a greater scope of activities on FIA fees, technical, digital media, race promotion, travel and Formula 2 and Formula 3 related costs, and the impact of increased levels of sponsorship and F1 TV subscriptions on commissions and partner servicing costs to support revenue growth. The 2021 increase was attributable to costs associated with the operation of the Formula One Paddock Club at 11 Events, and higher technical, freight and logistics, digital media and other related costs, driven by five more Events and the requirements of the differing race calendar in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, legal, professional and other advisory fees, bad debt expense, rental expense, information technology costs, non-Event-related travel costs, insurance premiums, maintenance and utility costs and other general office administration costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $78 million and $37 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2022 increase was driven by higher personnel and information technology costs, foreign exchange losses and higher legal and other advisory fees. The 2021 increase was driven by higher personnel costs, discretionary marketing expenditures and professional fees.  

Stock-based compensation expense relates to costs arising from grants of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock options and restricted stock units to members of Formula 1 management. Stock-based compensation expense decreased $14 million and increased $4 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The 2022 decrease was due to a decrease in the number of awards granted. The 2021 increase was due to a change in the vesting schedule of awards granted during the current year.

Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization decreased $35 million and $43 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to decreases in amortization expense related to certain intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Formula 1 by Liberty.

Braves Group

Braves Holdings. Braves Holdings is our wholly owned subsidiary that indirectly owns and operates ANLBC. In addition, Braves Holdings indirectly owned and operated three Professional Development League clubs (the Gwinnett Stripers, Mississippi Braves and Rome Braves) until they were sold in January 2022. ANLBC’s ballpark is located in Cobb County, a suburb of Atlanta. The facility is leased from Cobb County and Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority and the area surrounding the Stadium offers a range of activities and eateries for fans. Braves Holdings and its affiliates participated in the construction of the Stadium and the Mixed-Use Development.

Due to COVID-19, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) postponed the start of the 2020 season until late July, resulting in a regular season of 60 games, without fans in attendance. In addition, the 2020 minor league season was cancelled. Braves Holdings did not generate material revenue from the Braves’ participation in the 2020 postseason since games were played without fans in attendance due to COVID-19. In 2021, the number of regular season games played returned to normal and limitations on fan attendance were lifted in May. The 2021 minor league season started in May.

In December 2021, the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which requires MLB clubs to sign players using a uniform contract, expired and MLB commenced a lockout of the Major League players. As a result of the lockout, the start of the 2022 regular season was delayed. A new five-year Collective Bargaining Agreement was signed in March 2022 and the regular season began in April. Despite the delayed start of the 2022 season, a full regular season was played.

Revenue includes amounts generated from Braves Holdings’ baseball and development operations. Baseball revenue is derived from two primary sources: baseball event revenue (ticket sales, concessions, advertising sponsorships, suites and premium seat fees) and broadcasting revenue (including national and local broadcast rights). Mixed-Use Development revenue is derived primarily from rental income. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, revenue increased $20 million and $390 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. Increased ticket demand at regular season and Spring Training games and an increase in the number of regular season home games during 2022 drove increases in baseball event revenue as compared to 2021. A higher number of concerts held during 2022 also drove an increase in revenue as compared to 2021. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the number of postseason home games, impacting ticket sales and concession revenue, and the absence of revenue from the Professional Development League clubs which were sold in January 2022. Additionally, broadcasting revenue decreased during 2022 primarily due to a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded in 2021 as a result of a change in estimated variable transaction price that was constrained in prior periods. The increase in baseball revenue during 2021 as compared to 2020 was driven by an increase in the number of regular and postseason home baseball games being played with fans in attendance in 2021 and the Braves success in the 2021 postseason as World Series Champions, both resulting in increased revenue related to all primary sources of revenue. Mixed-Use Development revenue increased during 2022 and 2021 as compared to the corresponding prior years due to rental income from various new lease commencements and a reduction in deferred payment arrangements.

Other operating expenses primarily include costs associated with baseball and stadium operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, other operating expenses increased $57 million and $207 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase in 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to higher player salaries, higher variable concession and retail operating costs and higher levels of other facility and game day expenses, driven by an increase in the number of regular season home games and higher attendance, an increase in the number of concerts at Truist Park and increased expenses under MLB’s revenue sharing plan. These increases were offset by decreased stadium and game day operating expenses relating to reduced postseason games and decreased expenses following the sale of the Professional Development League clubs. The increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 was due to more normalized levels of player salaries and facility and game day expenses in 2021, driven by an increase in the number of regular and postseason games in 2021, all with fans in attendance.

Selling, general and administrative expense includes costs of marketing, advertising, finance and related personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $3 million and $23 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase for 2022 as

compared to 2021 was primarily due to increased personnel costs (including ticket and sponsorship commission payments) and increased advertising initiatives for the 2022 season. The increase for 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily due to increased advertising initiatives for the 2021 season compared to cost reduction initiatives during the 2020 season as a result of the impacts of COVID-19.  

Impairment, restructuring and acquisition costs, net of recoveries include impairment charges associated with hurricane damage to the Braves’ spring training facility located in North Port, Florida. Braves Holdings recognized approximately $6 million of property and equipment impairment losses as a result of hurricane damage.  

Stock-based compensation increased $1 million and $5 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years driven by increases in the fair value of the underlying awards.

Depreciation and amortization was flat and increased $3 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior years. The increase in 2021 as compared to 2020 was due to an increase in depreciation related to the Mixed-Use Development, which had various assets placed in service.
