Information About QVC Group's Operating Segments
(10) Information About QVC Group's Operating Segments
QVC Group, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and online commerce industries. QVC Group identifies its reportable segments as (A) those operating segments that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of QVC Group's annual pre-tax earnings.
The QVC Group Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating expense, advertising expense, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below), in addition to average sales price per unit, number of units shipped and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, QVC Group reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate.
For segment reporting purposes, QVC Group defines Adjusted OIBDA as total revenue, net less cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and SG&A excluding stock-based compensation and, where applicable, separately identified items impacting comparability. QVC Group 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, and where applicable, separately identified impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring (benefits) costs, pre-petition charges (primarily professional fees directly related to, and incurred prior to, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases), and (gain) loss on sale of assets, that are included in the measurement of operating income (loss) pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net earnings (loss), cash flows provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. QVC Group generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, QVC Group has identified the following operating segments as its reportable segments:
QxH – QVC U.S. and HSN market and sell a wide variety of consumer products in the U.S., primarily by means of their televised shopping programs and via the internet through their websites (including social media) and mobile applications.
QVC International – QVC International markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the internet through its international websites (including social media) and mobile applications.
CBI – CBI consists of a portfolio of aspirational home and apparel brands in the U.S. that sell merchandise through brick-and-mortar retail locations as well as via the internet through their websites.
QVC Group's operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2025 10-K.
