F1 Operating Results
"We are nearing the end of another incredible season showcasing the very best of F1 – thrilling racing, tight competition and nearly half the grid reaching the podium. F1 remains a cultural cornerstone, evidenced by the global box office success of the F1 movie and further underscored by increasing engagement across our channels," said Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1 President and CEO. "We completed multiple commercial agreements this quarter and continue to have success accelerating renewals and signing new partners with attractive terms, including our new US distribution partnership with Apple that will highlight the collaborative innovation between our brands for continued growth in the US. Recent strong race renewals and early extensions in key markets including Austin, Azerbaijan and Monaco also demonstrate the value F1 brings to the cities in which we race. We are confident in the next chapter of growth at F1."

Primary F1 revenue represents the majority of F1's revenue and is derived from (i) race promotion revenue, (ii) media rights fees and (iii) sponsorship fees.
There were six races held in the third quarter of 2025 compared to seven races held in the third quarter of 2024. There were 17 races held year-to-date through the third quarter of 2025 and 18 races held year-to-date through the third quarter of 2024. The 2025 calendar is scheduled to have the same 24 events that were held in 2024, except in a different order throughout the season, which will impact the year-over-year revenue and cost comparisons on a quarterly basis.
Primary F1 revenue decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to the calendar variance compared to the prior year, which drove declines across race promotion and media rights revenue with a smaller proportion of season-based income recognized during the period. This was partially offset by increased sponsorship revenue from new partners, contractual fee increases across all primary revenue streams and growth in F1 TV subscription revenue.
Primary F1 revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 with growth across sponsorship and media rights revenue, partially offset by a decline in race promotion revenue due to one less event held. Sponsorship revenue growth reflects contractual fee increases as well as revenue from new sponsors. Media rights revenue grew due to contractual fee increases, growth in F1 TV subscription revenue and the recognition of one-time revenue in the second quarter associated with the release of the F1 movie, partially offset by the impact of lower proportionate recognition of season-based revenue due to one less event held.
Other F1 revenue increased in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to higher hospitality revenue and growth in licensing income. The increase in hospitality revenue was driven by underlying Paddock Club growth and other premium hospitality offerings, as well as an increase in Grand Prix Plaza activities during the third quarter. Other F1 revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 also benefitted from higher freight revenue from the pass through of increased costs.
Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA(2) grew in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Team payments decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the pro rata recognition of team payments with one less race held in the third quarter compared to the prior year. Team payments were flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as the impact of one fewer race was offset by expected higher team payments for the full year. Other cost of F1 motorsport revenue is largely variable in nature and derived from servicing both Primary and Other F1 revenue opportunities. These costs increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to higher Paddock Club costs from increased attendance and costs from activities at Grand Prix Plaza that didn't occur in the prior year. Growth in other cost of F1 motorsport revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was also impacted by higher freight costs associated with the different order of events and cost inflation, higher commissions and partner servicing costs linked to underlying revenue growth, increased costs to service new sponsors and higher costs of delivering F1 TV to a growing subscriber base. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to higher marketing costs, including marketing spend associated with the 75th season launch event at London's The O2 in the nine-month period. Personnel costs also increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
MotoGP Operating Results

The season is closing out with record attendance and growth in TV viewership, digital engagement and social followers. We continue to work on expanding our engagement with new audiences while deepening relationships with existing fans and are confident in the long-term opportunity."

The majority of MotoGP's revenue and costs are Euro-denominated and as such, are subject to translational impacts from foreign exchange fluctuations. MotoGP calculates the effects of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the prior period's currency exchange rates. The table of results above includes both headline and constant currency(3) growth rates for revenue, Adjusted OIBDA and Operating income (loss).
Primary MotoGP revenue represents the majority of MotoGP's revenue and is derived from (i) race promotion revenue, (ii) media rights fees and (iii) sponsorship fees.
There were seven races held in the third quarter of 2025 compared to seven races held in the third quarter of 2024. There were 17 races held year-to-date through the third quarter of 2025 and 15 races held year-to-date through the third quarter of 2024. The 2025 calendar has a different order and mix of events compared to the prior year, which will impact season-based revenue recognition as well as year-over-year revenue and cost comparisons.
Primary MotoGP revenue increased modestly in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to favorable currency exchange rates and the calendar variance driving increased promotion fees, partially offset by the impact of lower season-based revenue recognition affecting media rights and sponsorship revenue. Primary MotoGP revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 driven primarily by two additional events in 2025 positively impacting race promotion fees combined with favorable currency exchange rates.
Other MotoGP revenue represents revenue generated from other motorcycle racing championships including FIM World Superbike Championship ("WorldSBK"), hospitality and licensing revenue. Other MotoGP revenue decreased modestly in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as the impact of fewer races held for WorldSBK was partially offset by increased hospitality and favorable currency exchange rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Other MotoGP revenue increased primarily due to the impact of two additional races held as well as favorable currency exchange rates.
Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA declined in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Cost of MotoGP motorsport revenue grew in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to increased costs of servicing sponsorship partners combined with the unfavorable impact of exchange rates. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in cost of MotoGP motorsport revenue was driven by two additional races driving higher freight and travel costs and unfavorable currency exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily from higher personnel costs and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Corporate and Other Operating Results
Corporate and Other Adjusted OIBDA includes the rental income related to Grand Prix Plaza in Las Vegas, Quint results and other corporate overhead. Corporate and Other revenue was flat in the third quarter as rental income was slightly offset by a decline in Quint revenue. There was $7 million of rental income related to Grand Prix Plaza in Las Vegas in the third quarter of both 2025 and 2024. Quint results in the third quarter were primarily driven by F1 Experiences across the 6 races held, as well as 7 MotoGP races, an NBA event and a WNBA event. Quint's revenue is seasonal, concentrated around its largest events and the third quarter is proportionally smaller.
LIBERTY LIVE GROUP – In the third quarter, $9 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense) was allocated to Liberty Live Group.
The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Live Group consist of Liberty Media's interest in Live Nation and other minority investments.
Share Repurchases
There were no repurchases of Liberty Media's common stock from August 1 through October 31, 2025. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media as of November 1, 2025 is $1.1 billion and can be applied to repurchases of common shares of any of the Liberty Media tracking stocks.

a) |
Includes $1,775 million and $571 million of cash held at F1 as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively, $176 million of cash held at MotoGP as of September 30, 2025 and $70 million and $78 million of cash held at Quint as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. |
| b) | Face amount of the convertible notes and exchangeable debentures with no fair market value adjustment. |
| c) | Net leverage as defined in F1's credit facilities for covenant calculations. |
| d) | Net leverage as defined in MotoGP's credit facilities for covenant calculations. |
Liberty Media, F1 and MotoGP are in compliance with their debt covenants as of September 30, 2025.
Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to Formula One Group decreased $1,849 million during the third quarter primarily due to net cash paid for the acquisition of MotoGP, partially offset by net cash from operations generated at both F1 and MotoGP. Total debt attributed to Formula One Group increased in the third quarter, driven by the consolidation of MotoGP's debt and incremental debt raised at F1 to fund a portion of the MotoGP acquisition. As of September 30th, F1's covenant leverage was below the threshold of 3.75x to trigger a permanent reduction in the Term Loan B margin from Term SOFR+200 bps to Term SOFR+175 bps. Interest will begin accruing at the lower rate upon delivery of the compliance certificate promptly after earnings.
Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to Liberty Live Group decreased $11 million during the third quarter primarily due to interest payments and corporate overhead, including transaction expenses. Total debt attributed to Liberty Live Group was flat during the third quarter. On September 12, 2025, the Live Nation margin loan was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date from September 9, 2026 to September 8, 2028 and change the interest rate from Term SOFR plus 2.0% to Term SOFR plus 1.875%.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
SCHEDULE 1
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Formula One Group, together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Media defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, Concorde incentive payments and restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges.
Liberty Media believes Adjusted OIBDA 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. 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 (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2025.

| a) | Formula One Group incurred $3 million and $14 million of costs related to corporate acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2025, respectively, and $23 million and $28 million of costs related to corporate acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2025, respectively. |
SCHEDULE 2
This press release also references operating results on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, for MotoGP. Constant currency operating results, as presented herein, are calculated as the difference between current period activity translated using the prior period's currency exchange rates.
Liberty Media believes constant currency operating results are an important indicator of financial performance for MotoGP, due to the translational impact of foreign currency fluctuations relating to its operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the US dollar. Liberty Media uses constant currency operating results to provide a framework to assess how the MotoGP business performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Please see the financial tables in the section entitled "MotoGP Operating Results" in this press release for a reconciliation of the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on revenue and Adjusted OIBDA.
