Primary F1 revenue is comprised of (i) race promotion fees, (ii) broadcasting fees and (iii) advertising and sponsorship fees. Results in the first quarter of 2019 were favorably impacted by the timing of the 2019 race calendar, with two races taking place in the first quarter of 2019 compared to one race in the first quarter of 2018.
Race promotion revenue increased primarily due to the additional race
held in the first quarter of 2019. Broadcast revenue increased due to
the higher proportionate recognition of season-based income during the
quarter (2/21 races took place in the first quarter of 2019 compared to
1/21 in the first quarter of 2018) and contractual rate increases.
Advertising and sponsorship revenue increased due to the additional race
in the first quarter of 2019 and revenue from new sponsorship agreements
entered into beginning in the second half of 2018. Other F1 revenue also
increased in the first quarter primarily due to the additional event
held, which resulted in increased revenue from the
Operating loss decreased and adjusted OIBDA(2) increased in the first quarter as revenue growth driven by the additional race and underlying contract terms more than offset elevated costs. Cost of F1 revenue increased primarily due to higher team payments driven by the pro rata recognition of such payments across the race season, as well as increased costs associated with the additional race including technical, travel and logistics, hospitality and Formula 2 costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily as a result of higher marketing costs associated with the promotion of the start of the season and F1’s digital and fan engagement initiatives.
F1’s total net debt to covenant OIBDA ratio, as defined in F1’s credit
facilities for covenant calculations, was approximately 5.80x as of

Baseball revenue is comprised of (i) ballpark operations, (ii) local and national broadcast rights and (iii) licensing and other shared MLB revenue streams. Development revenue is derived from the Battery Atlanta mixed-use facilities and primarily includes rental income.
There were no home games in the first quarter of 2019, compared to three home games in the first quarter of 2018. A modest amount of baseball revenue in the first quarter of 2019 was derived from non-game day revenue sources, and development revenue was flat in the first quarter of 2019. Operating loss and adjusted OIBDA improved modestly in the first quarter of 2019.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
SCHEDULE 1
This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a
non-GAAP financial measure, for the
Liberty Media 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 Media 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 Media's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted OIBDA for
Liberty Media to operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for
the three months ended

(1) |
During the first quarter of 2019, SiriusXM recorded a one-time expense of $25 million related to a legal settlement reserve for Do-Not-Call litigation. This charge is included in SiriusXM’s selling, general and administrative expense, but has been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA for the corresponding period as this charge does not relate to the ongoing performance of the business. |

SCHEDULE 2
This press release also includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA of
SiriusXM, which are non-GAAP financial measures used by SiriusXM,
together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone net income, as
determined under GAAP. SiriusXM defines adjusted EBITDA as net income
before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and
amortization. SiriusXM adjusts EBITDA to exclude the impact of other
income as well as certain other charges discussed below. Adjusted EBITDA
is a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes (if applicable): (i)
certain adjustments as a result of the purchase price accounting for the
XM Merger and the Pandora acquisition, (ii) predecessor net income
adjusted for certain expenses, including depreciation and amortization,
other income (loss), and share-based payment expense for
Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to SiriusXM’s statements of comprehensive income of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense and certain purchase price accounting for the XM Merger and the Pandora acquisition. SiriusXM endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net income as disclosed in SiriusXM’s unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, SiriusXM’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income to the adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:
