FORMULA ONE GROUP – The following table provides the financial results attributed to Formula One Group for the third quarter of 2024. In the third quarter, Formula One Group incurred $21 million of corporate level selling, general and administrative expense (including stock-based compensation expense). 3Q23 3Q24 amounts in millions Formula One Group Revenue Formula 1 $ 887 $ 861 Corporate and other — 70 Intergroup elimination — (20 ) Total Formula One Group $ 887 $ 911 Operating Income (Loss) Formula 1 $ 132 $ 146 Corporate and other (25 ) (36 ) Total Formula One Group $ 107 $ 110 Adjusted OIBDA (Loss) Formula 1 $ 215 $ 221 Corporate and other (18 ) (14 ) Total Formula One Group $ 197 $ 207 F1 Operating Results “Our business is benefitting from excellent competitive and financial momentum. We signed a ground-breaking partnership with LVMH for 2025, expanded our relationships with Lenovo and American Express, and secured licensing agreements with LEGO and Mattel’s Hot Wheels which expand F1 beyond our race calendar into the homes of our fans,” said Stefano Domenicali , Formula 1 President and CEO. “The thrilling racing and tight championship has benefitted viewership and digital engagement as the season has progressed. Race attendance is up season-to-date at 5.8 million with sellout crowds at nearly all races. It is great to see the on-track talent of both our seasoned drivers as well as young talent who hopefully have long F1 careers ahead.” The following table provides the operating results of Formula 1 (“F1”). 3Q23 3Q24 % Change amounts in millions Primary Formula 1 revenue $ 790 $ 758 (4 )% Other Formula 1 revenue 97 103 6 % Total Formula 1 revenue $ 887 $ 861 (3 )% Operating expenses (excluding stock-based compensation): Team payments (432 ) (371 ) 14 % Other cost of Formula 1 revenue (183 ) (190 ) (4 )% Cost of Formula 1 revenue $ (615 ) $ (561 ) 9 % Selling, general and administrative expenses (57 ) (79 ) (39 )% Adjusted OIBDA $ 215 $ 221 3 % Stock-based compensation (1 ) (1 ) — % Depreciation and Amortization(a) (82 ) (74 ) 10 % Operating income (loss) $ 132 $ 146 11 % Number of races in period 8 7 _________________________ a) Includes $74 million and $61 million of amortization related to purchase accounting for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024 , respectively, that is excluded from calculations for purposes of team payments. 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 seven races held in the third quarter of 2024, compared to eight races held in the third quarter of 2023. There are 24 events scheduled for the 2024 race calendar, compared to 22 events held in 2023. Primary F1 revenue decreased in the third quarter due to less media rights and sponsorship revenue driven by one fewer race held in the current period which resulted in a lower proportion of season-based revenue recognized. Sponsorship revenue also decreased due to the impact of the mix of races on event specific fees, partially offset by recognition of revenue from new sponsors. The decline in media rights revenue recognized was partially offset by contractual increases in fees and continued growth in F1 TV subscription revenue. Race promotion revenue grew in the third quarter due to fees from the different mix of events held compared to the prior year period. Other F1 revenue increased in the third quarter primarily due to higher licensing revenue and revenue generated from third-party events at the Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza , partially offset by lower hospitality income due to the mix of events in the current period. Operating income and Adjusted OIBDA(2) increased in the third quarter. Team payments decreased due to the pro rata recognition of payments across the race season with one fewer race held in the current period, partially offset by the expectation of higher team payments for the full year. Other cost of F1 revenue is largely variable in nature and is mostly derived from servicing both Primary and Other F1 revenue opportunities. These costs increased due to higher commissions and partner servicing costs associated with servicing Primary F1 revenue streams and higher digital costs, partially offset by lower FIA regulatory, technical, hospitality and travel costs due to the mix of events held. Other cost of F1 revenue in the third quarter was also impacted by higher costs associated with F1 Academy and lease expense for the Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza which wasn’t incurred in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expense increased due to higher personnel, IT, property and marketing costs as well as legal and other professional fees, partially offset by foreign exchange favorability. Corporate and Other Operating Results Corporate and Other revenue increased in the second quarter due to the inclusion of Quint results and $7 million of rental income related to the Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza . In the third quarter, Quint results were primarily driven by F1 Experiences across the seven races held. Quint’s revenue is seasonal around its largest events, which are generally during the second and fourth quarters. Corporate and Other Adjusted OIBDA for the third quarter of 2024 includes the rental income related to the Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza , Quint results and other corporate overhead. The businesses and assets attributed to Formula One Group consist primarily of Liberty Media’s subsidiaries, F1 and Quint. LIBERTY LIVE GROUP – In the third quarter, $3 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, 2024 . The total remaining repurchase authorization for Liberty Media as of November 1, 2024 is $1.1 billion and can be applied to repurchases of common shares of any of the Liberty Media tracking stocks.

The 0.5% Live Nation exchangeable senior debentures due 2050 were redeemed in September 2024 and remaining exchange obligations were settled in October 2024 . c) Net leverage as defined in F1’s credit facilities for covenant calculations. Liberty Media and F1 are in compliance with their debt covenants as of September 30, 2024 . In August, Liberty Media issued 12.2 million shares of Series C Formula One common stock for $949 million gross proceeds to increase the cash consideration related to its planned acquisition of Dorna Sports, S.L ., the parent company of MotoGP. Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to Formula One Group increased $1,175 million during the third quarter primarily due to the August equity issuance and cash from operations at F1. Total debt at Formula One Group was relatively flat in the third quarter. In September, F1 refinanced its Term Loan B and extended the maturities of its facilities. The Term Loan A and revolving credit facility have been extended to mature in September 2029 and the Term Loan B has been extended to mature in September 2031 . The margin on F1’s Term Loan B was permanently reduced from 2.25% to 2.00% with the potential to permanently step down to 1.75% if a certain leverage test is met on or after the earlier of the closing or termination of the MotoGP acquisition. As part of the terms obtained under the September refinancing, F1 also raised an incremental $850 million of Term Loan B commitment in addition to the incremental $150 million Term Loan A commitment obtained in April. The incremental term loans will be used to fund a portion of the MotoGP acquisition and are conditioned upon transaction close. Total cash and cash equivalents attributed to Liberty Live Group decreased $18 million during the third quarter primarily due to net debt repayment, interest payments and corporate overhead. Total debt attributed to Liberty Live Group decreased $12 million during the quarter due to the redemption of a portion of the 0.5% exchangeable senior debentures due 2050. In August 2024 , Liberty Media issued a redemption notice for all of its 0.5% exchangeable senior debentures due 2050. Any debentures that were not so purchased or properly surrendered for exchange were redeemed in full on September 1, 2024 . In October 2024 , Liberty Live Group settled the $50 million principal amount of the 0.5% exchangeable senior debentures due 2050 surrendered for exchange with cash on hand.

Liberty Media defines Adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition and other related costs 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 months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2024 , respectively.
