The expansion in mobile orders was exceptional, with mobile now comprising 52% of total eCommerce orders worldwide. We look forward to the launch of QVC France this summer,” stated Greg Maffei, Liberty Interactive President and CEO. “Our Digital Commerce companies turned in a strong performance with revenue up 10% and adjusted OIBDA increasing 29%.”

QVC GROUP – Excluding the pre-reattribution impact of the Digital Commerce companies (see reconciling schedule 1), in the first quarter, QVC Group's revenue decreased 2% to $1.9 billion, adjusted OIBDA decreased 2% to $401 million, operating income decreased 3% to $237 million, adjusted net income(3) increased 27% to $202 million and net income increased 37% to $151 million.
QVC
QVC's consolidated revenue decreased 2% in the first quarter to $1.9 billion. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 1% to $407 million and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 26 basis points. Operating income decreased 5% to $246 million. Consolidated eCommerce revenue increased 5% to $813 million in the quarter and grew to 42% from 39% of consolidated revenue. Mobile orders were 52% of total eCommerce orders in the quarter, compared to 38% a year ago.
US Dollar denominated results were negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations in the first quarter. The US Dollar strengthened against the Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound Sterling 18%, 14% and 8%, respectively. On a constant currency basis, consolidated revenue and adjusted OIBDA both increased 2% compared to a 2% and 1% decline in US Dollars, respectively.
"Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our highly differentiated retail model,” said QVC President and CEO Mike George. “We expanded our eCommerce business with exceptional growth in our mobile penetration. We generated strong margin expansion, led by Germany and the UK. We invested in our US leadership position with new shipping and handling polices and realized strong growth in new customers. We continue to expand our global presence as we prepare to launch in France this summer. We are well positioned to continue to define the next generation of retail.”
US revenue increased 3% to $1.3 billion in the first quarter. Units sold increased 3%, average selling price per unit increased 1% to $61.75 and returns as a percentage of gross product revenue increased 41 basis points in the quarter. The US experienced growth in all categories except electronics. eCommerce revenue increased 7% to $632 million and grew to 47% from 45% of total US revenue. Adjusted OIBDA increased 2% to $306 million. Adjusted OIBDA margin decreased 26 basis points primarily due to lower shipping and handling revenue and higher personnel costs for severance, merit and benefits, which were partially offset by improved product margins and higher credit card income.

QVC's international revenue decreased 12% to $596 million in the first quarter, reflecting the aforementioned unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, international revenue increased 2%. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 9% to $101 million, and adjusted OIBDA margin increased 65 basis points. On a constant currency basis, international adjusted OIBDA increased 4%. The first quarter included $3 million of costs related to the scheduled launch of QVC France in the summer of 2015.
QVC Germany's revenue in local currency increased 3% in the first quarter. Sales increased in local currency primarily in home, apparel and accessories. These gains were partially offset by a decline in electronics. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 20%, and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency grew 255 basis points primarily due to higher product margins, lower bad debt expense and customer service efficiencies.
QVC Japan's revenue in local currency decreased 2% in the first quarter. The decline in revenue reflects macro-economic challenges, particularly a local consumption tax increase that became effective in April of 2014. QVC Japan experienced sales declines in local currency in apparel, accessories and jewelry, which were partially offset by gains primarily in electronics. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency decreased 5%, and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency decreased 75 basis points primarily due to lower product margins and higher information technology costs.
QVC UK's revenue increased 4% in local currency in the first quarter. Sales increased in local currency primarily in beauty and jewelry partially offset by a decline in electronics. Adjusted OIBDA in local currency increased 13% and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency increased 146 basis points primarily due to higher product margins, warehouse efficiencies, favorable inventory obsolescence expense and fixed cost leverage.
QVC Italy's revenue increased 9% in local currency in the first quarter. Sales increased in local currency primarily in beauty and apparel. Adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency decreased 20% and adjusted OIBDA margin in local currency increased 195 basis points primarily due to fixed cost leverage and warehouse and call center efficiencies, which were partially offset by lower product margins.
CNR Home Shopping Co., Ltd. ("CNRS"), QVC's joint venture in China, increased local currency revenue 5% in the first quarter. CNRS' adjusted OIBDA deficit in local currency increased 73% reflecting solid unit volume growth and lower average selling prices, as well as higher freight, warehouse and customer service expenses. This joint venture is
2
being accounted for as an equity method investment, and as a result, QVC reported a $1 million reduction in net income for the quarter.
QVC's outstanding debt, net of original issue discount, was $4.5 billion at March 31, 2015, a slight decline compared to December 31, 2014.
Share Repurchases
From February 1, 2015 through April 30, 2015, Liberty Interactive repurchased approximately 3.6 million Series A QVC Group shares (Nasdaq: QVCA) at an average cost per share of $28.48 for total cash consideration of $101 million. Since the creation of the QVC Group stock (including its predecessor, Liberty Interactive Group) in May 2006, Liberty Interactive has repurchased shares for aggregate cash consideration of $5.5 billion, representing approximately 37.1% of the shares outstanding at the time of the creation of the QVC Group stock. All repurchases up to August 9, 2012, the date on which the QVC Group stock was recapitalized to create the Liberty Ventures Group stock, were comprised of shares of the combined stocks. The remaining repurchase authorization as of May 1, 2015 for QVC Group stock was approximately $575 million, which includes $59 million under the authorization put in place in connection with the spin-off of Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. and which may be used to repurchase either QVC Group stock or Liberty Ventures Group stock (the “Liberty TripAdvisor spin-off authorization”). Liberty Ventures has been compensated dollar-for-dollar for all repurchases made under the Liberty TripAdvisor spin-off authorization.
QVC Group consists of Liberty Interactive’s subsidiary, QVC, Inc., and Liberty Interactive’s interest in HSN, Inc.
LIBERTY VENTURES GROUP – Revenue for the continuing consolidated Digital Commerce companies increased 10% to $276 million in the first quarter. For the quarter, the increase in revenue was due to increases at most of our subsidiaries, the most significant being Backcountry.com ($10 million), Bodybuilding.com ($10 million) and CommerceHub ($6 million). The increase in Backcountry.com revenue was primarily due to increased average order value and consistent order volume, compared to last year. A larger percentage of Backcountry.com sales came through their main websites versus the discounted flash websites. The increase in Bodybuilding.com revenue was primarily due to increased order volume on slightly decreased average order values. A portion of the decreased average order values for Bodybuilding.com was due to international sales and the foreign exchange impacts. CommerceHub revenue growth was primarily attributed to growth in active customers (vendors and suppliers) which increased the number of aggregate transactions processed through the CommerceHub solution, along with the impact of the Mercent acquisition.
3
Adjusted OIBDA for the continuing Digital Commerce companies increased 29% to $22 million in the first quarter. For the quarter, the growth in Adjusted OIBDA was primarily the result of increased revenue, as discussed above, with the most noticeable increase being at Backcountry.com. Adjusted OIBDA represented 8.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to 6.8% of revenue in the first quarter of 2014, primarily the result of improved product margins and cost containment efforts offset by increased marketing and promotional spend.
Operating income for the continuing Digital Commerce companies increased 25% to $5 million in the first quarter.
Share Repurchases
There were no repurchases of Liberty Ventures Group common stock (Nasdaq: LVNTA) from February 1, 2015 through April 30, 2015. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Ventures Group stock is approximately $709 million, which includes $59 million remaining under the Liberty TripAdvisor spin-off authorization.
The businesses and assets attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group are all of Liberty Interactive's businesses and assets other than those attributed to the QVC Group, including its interests in Expedia, Interval, Lending Tree and FTD, its subsidiaries Backcountry.com, Bodybuilding.com, CommerceHub, The Right Start and Evite, and minority interests in Time Warner Inc. and Time Warner Cable.

Cash flow from operations and the proceeds of a $10 per share special dividend received from HSNi were partially offset by stock repurchases, debt repayments and capital expenditures.

Total cash and liquid investments attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group decreased $78 million, primarily due to investment in cost and equity investees and the Mercent acquisition. Total debt attributed to the Liberty Ventures Group increased $5 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Liberty Interactive, the QVC Group, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), and the Digital Commerce companies together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses’ operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Interactive 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 Interactive defines adjusted OIBDA margin as adjusted OIBDA divided by revenue.
Liberty Interactive 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 Interactive 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 Interactive's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.
10
In addition, this presentation includes references to adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for QVC Group. Liberty Interactive defines adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of purchase accounting amortization (net of deferred tax benefit) and net income (loss) generated by the Digital Commerce companies prior to the reattribution.
Liberty Interactive believes adjusted net income is an important indicator of financial performance, in particular for QVC Group, due to the impact of purchase accounting amortization and the reattribution of the Digital Commerce companies. Because adjusted net income is used as a measure of overall financial performance, Liberty Interactive views net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted net income is not meant to replace or supersede net income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with a valuable supplemental metric of financial performance. Please see the attached schedules for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for QVC Group (Schedule 4).
SCHEDULE 1
The following table provides a reconciliation of QVC Group's adjusted OIBDA to its operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
