"SiriusXM posted outstanding results for the quarter, reaching over 30.6 million subscribers. The company set a quarterly revenue record and once again increased its guidance on July 26th," said Greg Maffei, Liberty Media President and CEO. "Live Nation also delivered a very strong quarter, and leading indicators across concerts and ticketing sales, sponsorship and advertising are pointing to another record year in 2016. We're very pleased with the progress of the Braves' new ballpark and mixed-use facility, which continue to track on-time and on-budget."
On April 15, 2016, Liberty Media completed the recapitalization (the "Recapitalization") of its common stock into three new tracking stock groups: (i) the Liberty SiriusXM Group, (ii) the Liberty Braves Group and (iii) the Liberty Media Group. For purposes of presentation herein, the assets and liabilities of Liberty Media (excluding cash and liquid investments as of March 31, 2016) have been allocated among the three tracking stocks as if the Recapitalization had occurred on January 1, 2015. This is intended to supplement and enhance the information included in our prior period financial statements, but is not intended to provide a comprehensive view of what each tracking stock group's performance would have been had the Recapitalization actually occurred on such date.
Unless otherwise noted, the foregoing discussion compares financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the same period in 2015.
LIBERTY SIRIUSXM GROUP - Liberty SiriusXM Group's revenue increased 10% to $1.2 billion in the second quarter, operating income increased 77% to $343 million and adjusted OIBDA(2) increased 7% to $450 million. The increases in revenue, operating income and adjusted OIBDA were primarily attributable to an increase in the daily weighted average number of subscribers and increases in certain of SiriusXM's self-pay subscription rates. The increase in operating income was also due to the $108 millionSiriusXM legal settlement recorded in the second quarter of 2015 that was excluded from adjusted OIBDA for that period. For the period following the Recapitalization, $7 million of selling, general and administrative expenses (including stock-based compensation expense) was allocated to the Liberty SiriusXM Group in connection with the Recapitalization.
SiriusXM is a separate publicly traded company and additional information about SiriusXM can be obtained through its website and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. SiriusXM reported its stand-alone second quarter results on July 26, 2016. For presentation purposes in this release, we include below the results of SiriusXM, as reported by SiriusXM, without regard to the purchase accounting adjustments applied by us for purposes of our financial statements. Liberty Media believes the presentation of financial results as reported by SiriusXM is useful to investors as the comparability of those results is best understood in the context of SiriusXM's historical financial presentation. For a reconciliation of revenue, adjusted OIBDA (as defined by Liberty Media) and operating income for SiriusXM's stand-alone operating results as reported by SiriusXM to those results as reported by Liberty Media, see Liberty Media's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Highlights of SiriusXM's earnings release included the following:
- Second quarter revenue climbed 10% to $1.2 billion, a quarterly record
- Net income rose 68% to $173 million and adjusted EBITDA(2) grew 13% to $468 million in the second quarter
- Operating cash flow totaled $432 million and free cash flow(2) reached quarterly high of $395 million
- SiriusXM increased 2016 subscriber, revenue, adjusted EBITDA(2) and free cash flow(2) guidance on July 26th
The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty SiriusXM Group consist primarily of Liberty Media's interest in SiriusXM.
LIBERTY BRAVES GROUP - Liberty Braves Group's revenue increased $28 million to $131 million in the second quarter, operating income increased $3 million to $(3) million and adjusted OIBDA(2) increased $7 million to $12 million. The increases in revenue, operating income and adjusted OIBDA were primarily due to an increase in overall ticket sales and broadcast revenue as a result of having more home games in the second quarter of 2016, with 44 home games in 2016 versus 35 home games during the same period in 2015. The increases in operating income and adjusted OIBDA were partially offset by an increase in operating expenses driven by the acceleration of approximately $23 million in player salary expense as a result of released and injured players during the second quarter. For the period following the Recapitalization, $3 million of selling, general and administrative expenses (including stock-based compensation expense) was allocated to the Liberty Braves Group in connection with the Recapitalization.
During the second quarter, Liberty Braves Group completed a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") with respect to shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock. The Rights Offering expired at 5:00 p.m.New York City time on June 16, 2016 and was fully subscribed, with 15,833,634 shares of Series C Liberty Braves common stock issued to exercising rightsholders for total proceeds of $203 million. Approximately $150 million of the proceeds from the Rights Offering were used to repay the outstanding balance and accrued interest on an intergroup note (the "Intergroup Note") from Liberty Media Group to partially fund the equity contribution on the Atlanta Braves' mixed-use development project, and the Intergroup Note agreement was cancelled. The remaining proceeds were attributed to the Liberty Braves Group and will be used for future development costs. Assuming the issuance of the shares underlying the intergroup interest held by Liberty Media Group, discussed below, the Liberty Braves Group outstanding share count as of July 31, 2016 would be 58.5 million.
The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Braves Group consist primarily of Liberty Media's subsidiary Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings"), which indirectly owns the Atlanta Braves baseball team, and certain assets and liabilities associated with its ballpark and mixed-use development project.
LIBERTY MEDIA GROUP - In the second quarter, the Liberty Media Group incurred $9 million of selling, general and administrative expenses (including stock-based compensation expense).
The businesses and assets attributed to Liberty Media Group consist of all of Liberty Media's businesses and assets other than those attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group and the Liberty Braves Group, including its interest in Live Nation, minority equity investments in Time Warner and Viacom and an intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group. Liberty Media Group initially held a 20% intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group. As a result of the Rights Offering, the number of notional shares underlying the intergroup interest was adjusted to 9.1 million, representing a 15.6% intergroup interest in the Liberty Braves Group.
Share Repurchases
Between the reclassification of the original Liberty Capital tracking stock on March 3, 2008 and July 23, 2014, Liberty Media repurchased shares of Series A common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $2.9 billion, representing 51% of shares outstanding(3). For the period covering the creation of the Liberty Media Series C common stock on July 24, 2014 through January 31, 2016 (prior to the creation of the Liberty SiriusXM, Liberty Braves and Liberty Media tracking stocks), Liberty Media repurchased approximately 9.2 million shares of Series A and Series C common stock, collectively, at an average cost per share of $37.96 for total cash consideration of $350 million, representing 2.7% of shares outstanding(4). There were no repurchases of Series A or Series C Liberty Media Corporation common stock from February 1, 2016 through the Recapitalization on April 15, 2016, and there were no repurchases of Series A or Series C Liberty SiriusXM common stock, Series A or Series C Liberty Braves common stock or Series A or Series C Liberty Media common stock from April 15, 2016 through July 31, 2016. The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media stock is approximately $1.3 billion and can be applied to repurchases of Series A and Series C shares of any of the Liberty Media Corporation tracking stocks.

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 SiriusXM Group, the Liberty Braves Group and the Liberty Media Group, together with reconciliations to operating income, as determined under GAAP. Liberty Media defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding all stock based compensation, and excludes from that definition depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment charges and separately reported legal settlements that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP.
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. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.
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 June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

(1) Legal settlement is due to an expense of $108 million recorded for the portion of the $210 millionCapitol Records lawsuit settlement related to SiriusXM's use of pre-1972 sound recordings for the periods prior to June 30, 2015. The $108 million is included in the Revenue share and royalties line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2015 but has been excluded from Adjusted OIBDA for the corresponding period as this expense was not incurred as a part of SiriusXM's normal operations for the period, and this lump sum amount does not relate to the on-going performance of the business. The remaining portion of the settlement is being recorded as a component of Adjusted OIBDA in subsequent periods through December 2017, as the ongoing amount is considered to be a part of SiriusXM's normal operations.
SCHEDULE 2
This press release also includes a presentation of adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by SiriusXM, together with a reconciliation to SiriusXM's stand-alone net income, as determined under GAAP. SiriusXM defines adjusted EBITDA as follows: EBITDA is defined 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 one of the primary Non-GAAP financial measures SiriusXM uses to (i) evaluate the performance of on-going core operating results period over period, (ii) base internal budgets and (iii) compensate management. 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 merger of Sirius and XM, (ii) share-based payment expense and (iii) other significant operating expenses (income) that do not relate to the ongoing performance of SiriusXM's business. SiriusXM believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the underlying trend of their operating performance, which provides useful information about their business apart from the costs associated with capital structure and purchase price accounting. SiriusXM believes investors find this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing their results and comparing their operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. SiriusXM believes investors use current adjusted EBITDA to estimate current enterprise value and to make investment decisions. Because of large capital investments in SiriusXM's satellite radio system, their results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. SiriusXM believes the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful as it is not directly related to the operational conditions of their business. SiriusXM also believes the exclusion of settlements related only to the historical use of pre-1972 sound recordings and loss on disposal of assets is useful as it does not represent an expense incurred as part of normal operations for the period.
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 merger of Sirius and XM. 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 SiriusXM's operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net income as disclosed in their unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, their 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:

SCHEDULE 3
SiriusXM's free cash flow is derived from cash flow provided by operating activities, net of additions to property and equipment, restricted and other investment activity and the return of capital from investment in unconsolidated entity. Free cash flow is a metric that their management and board of directors use to evaluate the cash generated by operations, net of capital expenditures and other investment activity and significant items that do not relate to the on-going performance of their business. In a capital intensive business, with significant investments in satellites, SiriusXM looks at their operating cash flow, net of these investing cash outflows, to determine cash available for future subscriber acquisition and capital expenditures, to repurchase or retire debt, to acquire other companies and to evaluate their ability to return capital to stockholders. SiriusXM believes free cash flow is an indicator of the long-term financial stability of their business. Free cash flow, which is reconciled to "Net cash provided by operating activities," is a Non-GAAP financial measure. This measure can be calculated by deducting amounts under the captions "Additions to property and equipment" and deducting or adding Restricted and other investment activity from "Net cash provided by operating activities" from the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, adjusted for any significant legal settlements. Free cash flow should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures and may not be comparable to free cash flow measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow should be viewed as a supplemental measure rather than an alternative measure of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is limited and does not represent remaining cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt maturities. SiriusXM believes free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding their current cash flow, along with other GAAP measures (such as cash flows from operating and investing activities), to determine their financial condition, and to compare their operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media companies. Free cash flow is calculated as follows:
