  • ANNUAL REPORT 2023

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

April 2024

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Liberty Media is no stranger to structural change over its more than thirty-year history, and 2023 was no exception. Over the past

twelve months, we made significant changes to simplify and highlight the value of our assets. We completed the split-off of Atlanta Braves Holdings and recapitalized our three tracking stocks into the newly populated (i) Formula One Group, (ii) Liberty Live Group, and (iii) Liberty SiriusXM Group, which we have since announced will merge with SiriusXM in the next few months. It has been an active and productive year.

Our portfolio is focused on high quality, experiential entertainment assets that benefit from resilient consumer demand. We have referred to this as the Premium IP ecosystem-the irreplicable nature of these businesses leads to attractive financial profiles, durability and growth tailwinds.

Core to our thesis on Premium IP is recognizing customers as fans-of the sport, the brand, the product. With fandom comes loyalty which produces long-lasting customer relationships. This is most obvious in sports, where multi-generational fandom often withstands years of volatility in "product performance" (aka losing streaks). But just as powerful are the fans built around music genres, artists, drivers, the technological innovation of an F1 car, and more.

Premium IP assets are hard to come by. The assets themselves are scarce-there is only one Formula 1 league, 30 MLB teams, etc. Furthermore, a scarce supply of monetizable inventory met with growing fan demand drives an attractive economic equation. There are limited race spots on the F1 calendar, limited seats to some of the most coveted shows and events and limited capacity in a grandstand or ballpark. Additional growth comes in part from extending the reach of the brand to create new customer touch points, ultimately expanding the overall fan base. The larger customer base in time become fans → driving increased demand against limited supply → benefiting economic returns → enabling further expansion opportunities → driving an even larger customer base. It's a compelling flywheel.

We continue to explore opportunities that fit this profile to expand and strengthen our portfolio at Liberty Media and generate returns for our shareholders. Our recently announced planned acquisition of MotoGP aligns perfectly with this objective.

FORMULA ONE GROUP

The global scale, popularity and financial health of Formula 1 have never been stronger. Since 2017, F1's revenue has grown at a CAGR of 10%. It has more than doubled sponsorship and hospitality revenue streams, both of which we identified as significantly under- monetized at the time of our acquisition.

In 2023, F1 welcomed 1.5 billion cumulative TV viewers, approximately 70 million in average race weekend viewership, 70.5 million followers across social media platforms and over 100 million unique users to the F1.com and F1 app platforms. Across all sports, fans are increasingly engaging across a multitude of platforms. F1 is actively working with Nielsen in 2024 to incorporate their fast-growing digital audience into a more comparable unit of measurement for 'engagement' given the evolving nature of sports and media consumption.

F1 is capitalizing on its success to sustain momentum and continued expansion. In part, this includes leveraging competitive market dynamics in driving revenue growth. For example, in race promotion, the limited number of weekends in a 24-race calendar raises the bar on quality of experience required to maintain a slot. Accordingly, nearly all of F1's recently announced race renewals include elements of promoter-funded capital improvements into track infrastructure and fan experience. There is continued demand from new geographies wanting to join the limited calendar, including the recently announced Madrid race starting in 2026. Our self-promotion of the Las Vegas Grand Prix significantly increased our knowledge of the promoter experience and allows us to be better partners with shared best practices going forward.

Much is written about F1's meteoric rise in the US market. We are proud of the team's accomplishments and confident the momentum is still building. In 2018, average race weekend viewership on ESPN was 1.6 million, nearly doubling to 3.1 million for the 2023 season. F1 estimates that capturing digital audiences in the US would add 50% to traditional linear measurements given the prevalence of digital video consumption among US sports fans. Social media followers in the US grew an impressive 28% in 2023. In 2019, Formula 1's only US race was at COTA in Austin with 268 thousand in attendance. In 2023, over 800 thousand fans packed the stands across the three unique US race weekends in Austin, Miami and Las Vegas.

Even with this incredible progress, we are confident that our US growth is still in its early stages. There is significant upside in F1's US media rights given the attractive demographic of the fan base and relatively modest monetization today. US-based sponsorship interest continues to build, buoyed by the success of new inventory like the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the F1 Academy women's racing series.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

7

Another key area of growth is expanding F1's fandom and investing to build more direct touch points. The fan database has grown meaningfully through the success of F1 TV, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, F1's website and app data, and more recently through Liberty's acquisition of Quint which closed in early 2024. F1 can leverage increased fan data to create more tailored offerings for all commercial partners and accelerate the growth of these revenue streams.

F1 advanced key sustainability efforts in 2023, which are increasingly important to our organization, commercial partners and F1 teams. We successfully launched the F1 Academy female-only racing series under the leadership of Susie Wolff. F1 also progressed the development of a 100% sustainable hybrid fuel that is expected to be introduced in 2026. The fuel will be compatible with road cars without modification, which provides broad global benefit to the automotive industry well beyond the impact on our sport. F1 has long been on the forefront

of technological innovation for consumer vehicles-carbon fiber material, hybridization and regenerative braking, to name a few. Leading work in advanced sustainable fuels is the latest example in a long history of bold initiatives F1 has undertaken.

While investing for growth, F1 has continued to de-lever its balance sheet through organic adjusted OIBDA growth and opportunistic debt reduction. Leverage at year-end 2023 was 1.9x, dramatically reduced from over 7.0x at the time Liberty closed the acquisition of F1. Our liquidity and leverage capacity provide flexibility to pursue a variety of growth opportunities, including organic investment, M&A and stock buybacks. Most recently, we were thrilled to announce our planned acquisition of MotoGP and believe this will be an accretive use of capital for our shareholders. This was a rare opportunity to purchase a global, league-level asset with an attractive financial profile. Over its 75-year history, MotoGP has grown to command a loyal, passionate fan base following elite riders as they compete around the globe and push the boundaries of human limits. We intend to bring this sport to a wider audience, while maintaining the core heritage of the sport upon which such a strong foundation is built. We expect to close the transaction by year-end 2024 and look forward to sharing more updates on the business.

LIBERTY LIVE GROUP

The Liberty Live Group tracking stock has traded at an average 40% discount since its creation in August 2023. We continue to believe it will take time for the market to fairly value this equity, and investor sentiment will likely evolve as the composition of the tracking stock evolves as well. The tracker is capitalized as of year-end 2023 with $418 million of cash and liquid investments and a $400 million undrawn margin loan with a modest 12% net debt to asset ratio. Over time, we will evaluate adding accretive assets, including ones complementary to the live event space. Until then, the primary asset at Liberty Live Group is its stake in Live Nation, which just closed out an astounding 2023 across all metrics-145 million fans at shows, 620 million tickets sold and over $1 billion of sponsorship revenue generated. Their growth in owned venues is leading to enhanced fan experiences and the ability to increase ancillary revenues. Live Nation is not seeing any slowdown in share of wallet going towards live events, with 2024-to-date already pacing ahead of 2023 across all metrics. Pair the growing fan demand with an increasingly global supply of artists and the opportunities are as strong as ever.

LIBERTY SIRIUSXM GROUP

As of the writing of this letter, we are a few months away from the projected completion of the merger of Liberty SiriusXM and SiriusXM. Looking back, our initial investment in SiriusXM in 2009 was predicated on many attributes of the business that are still core to our investment priorities today: a large and sticky customer base, a high margin, recurring revenue subscription model, a disrupted market set to rebound (specifically the US car industry) and a high-quality management team. Initially, we agreed to invest up to $530 million in senior debt in exchange for preferred stock convertible into 40% of the common equity. Ultimately, our total cash outlay in the initial purchase was under $400 million. This capital was fully recouped within six months, and our investment in SiriusXM stands at an impressive $12.3 billion of market value as of April 1, 2024. We are fortunate for management's stewardship during our investment tenure, the opportunity to deepen our knowledge in audio and live entertainment, and for the strong returns generated by our SiriusXM investment for Liberty and our shareholders. We look forward to our ongoing involvement in the company as shareholders.

LOOKING AHEAD

We are often asked what the future holds for Liberty Media. Perhaps increasingly today given the various structural simplifications we recently effected.

We continue to believe the tracking stock structure provides benefits to Liberty and our shareholders by maximizing both investor choice and management flexibility. As long-term owners, we will continue to pursue structural options that drive value for our shareholders. When there has been a clear business reason to eliminate the tracker structure, we have done so-and twice in the past year. In July 2023, we created an asset-backed security in Atlanta Braves Holdings because we believed increased liquidity and enhanced future flexibility would benefit the public market valuation-the BATR equity is up 27% since the date of the split-off announcement. As already discussed, in December 2023 we announced the planned merger of the Liberty SiriusXM tracking stock group with SiriusXM, which will eliminate the discount to net asset value and allow the market to invest in a simpler SIRI equity with a single class of shares.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2023

We will always pursue actions that we believe are in the best interest of our shareholders, and we are thankful for the partnership we have built over decades together.

We hope to see you at this year's Investor Day which will take place on November 14th in New York City. This year we will be moving to a new location at Jazz at Lincoln Center at 10 Columbus Circle. We look forward to seeing you there.

We appreciate your ongoing support.
