season based on the pro rata number of games played to date to the total number of games during the season. Concession and parking revenue are recognized on a per game basis during the baseball season. Major League Baseball (“MLB”) revenue is earned throughout the year based on an estimate of revenue generated by MLB on behalf of the 30 MLB clubs. Sources of MLB revenue primarily include the Major League Central Fund and distributions from various licensing agreements. Mixed-Use Development revenue. Revenue from Braves Holdings’ minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective lease agreements. Some retail tenants are required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease term. Overage rents are only recognized when each tenant’s sales exceed the applicable sales threshold. Tenants reimburse Braves Holdings for a substantial portion of Braves Holdings operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and property insurance. Braves Holdings accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Braves Holdings recognizes differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented. Sponsorship revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over each annual period. Parking revenue is recognized daily based on actual usage. Cost of Motorsport Revenue Formula 1’s cost of motorsport revenue consists of team payments, costs of promoting, organizing and delivering the Las Vegas Grand Prix, hospitality costs, which are principally related to catering and other aspects of the production and delivery of hospitality offerings at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the Paddock Club at other events (“Formula 1 Events”), and costs incurred in the provision and sale of freight, travel and logistical services. Formula 1’s other costs of motorsport revenue also include sponsorship and digital product sales’ commissions, circuit rights’ fees payable under various agreements with race promoters to acquire certain commercial rights at Formula 1 Events, including the right to sell advertising, hospitality and support race opportunities, annual Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (“FIA”) regulatory fees, Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars, parts and maintenance services, costs related to the new F1 Academy series, television production and post-production services, advertising production services and digital and social media activities. These costs are largely variable in nature and typically relate directly to revenue opportunities. MotoGP’s cost of motorsport revenue includes both variable and fixed costs components and relates to both primary and other motorsport revenue. On an annual basis, the largest components of costs of motorsport revenue are costs related to International Road-Racing Teams Association payments, which are generally fixed on a per race basis with slight variations based on the mix and number of MotoGP’s events and escalate on an annual basis, costs related to television productions, advertising and sponsorship materials, the delivery of hospitality offerings, freight travel and annual FIM fees. Advertising Costs Advertising expense aggregated $ 54 million, $ 34 million and $ 28 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is reflected in the selling, general and administrative expenses line in our consolidated statements of operations. Stock-Based Compensation As more fully described in note 12, Liberty has granted to its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries restricted stock (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase shares of Liberty common stock (collectively, “Awards”). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an Award based on the grant-date fair value of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). Stock-based compensation, included in selling, II-45 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, was $ 21 million, $ 30 million and $ 27 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if the Company believes it more likely than not such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of an enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When the tax law requires interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes, the Company recognizes interest expense from the first period the interest would begin accruing according to the relevant tax law. Such interest expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any accrual of penalties related to underpayment of income taxes on uncertain tax positions is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign Currency Translation The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of the Company and Formula 1. MotoGP’s functional currency is the Euro. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect during the applicable period, which approximates the average exchange rate. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains (losses) which are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss) as unrealized (based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Unrealized gains (losses) are included in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations and realized gains (losses) are included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. Earnings Attributable to Liberty Stockholders Per Common Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, including any necessary adjustments to earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders. II-46 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 Series A, Series B and Series C Liberty Formula One Common Stock The basic and diluted EPS calculations are based on the following WASO. Excluded from diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are 2 million, 4 million and 4 million potentially dilutive shares of Liberty Formula One common stock, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

(b) As described in note 1, the Liberty SiriusXM Group’s intergroup interest in the Formula One Group was settled and extinguished in 2023. The intergroup interest was a quasi-equity interest which was not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Liberty SiriusXM Group had an attributed value in the Formula One Group which was generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to its interest in the Formula One Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interest were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) would be comprised of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock since Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was underlying the 1.375 % Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”). Therefore, the market price of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock was used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment. The notional shares representing the intergroup interest had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interest were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interest was dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interest to fair value during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, which may be settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the interest expense and the unrealized gain or loss recorded on the instrument during the period, net of tax where appropriate. In addition, for periods in which share settlement of the Shareholders’ Agreement, which may be partially settled in shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, is dilutive, the numerator adjustment includes a reversal of the share of earnings (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests, net of tax where appropriate.

The settlement of the 2.125 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 changed to solely cash, pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into during February 2023. Accordingly, the impact of share settlement of the 2.125 % Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2048 was considered for purposes of calculating diluted WASO prior to the execution of the supplemental indenture.

(b) As described in note 1, the intergroup interests in the Braves Group held by the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group were settled and extinguished in connection with the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off. The intergroup interests were quasi-equity interests that were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock; rather, the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group had attributed values in the Braves Group which are generally stated in terms of a number of shares of stock issuable to the Formula One Group and the Liberty SiriusXM Group with respect to their interests in the Braves Group. Each reporting period, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were marked to fair value. As the notional shares underlying the intergroup interests were not represented by outstanding shares of common stock, such shares had not been officially designated Series A, B or C Liberty Braves common stock. However, Liberty assumed that the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Formula One Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series C Liberty Braves common stock in order to not dilute voting percentages and the notional shares (if and when issued) related to the Liberty SiriusXM Group interest in the Braves Group would be comprised of Series A Liberty Braves common stock since Series A Liberty Braves common stock was underlying the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the market prices of Series C Liberty Braves and Series A Liberty Braves common stock were historically used for the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interests held by Formula One Group and Liberty SiriusXM Group, respectively. During the second quarter of 2023, Liberty determined that, in connection with the Atlanta Braves Holdings Split-Off, shares of Atlanta Braves Holdings Series C common stock would be used to settle and extinguish the intergroup interest in the Braves II-49 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 Group attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group. Following such determination, the market price of Series C Liberty Braves common stock was used for the mark-to-market adjustment for the intergroup interest held by the Liberty SiriusXM Group. The notional shares representing the intergroup interests had no impact on the basic WASO. However, if dilutive, the notional shares representing the intergroup interests were included in the diluted WASO as if the shares had been issued and outstanding during the period. For periods in which share settlement of the intergroup interests were dilutive, an adjustment was also made to the numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the unrealized gain or loss incurred from marking the intergroup interests to fair value during the period.

Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i) fair value measurement of non-financial instruments and (ii) accounting for income taxes to be its most significant estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2025. See notes 5 and 9 for new required disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which expands disclosures about specific expense categories at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the related disclosures.

Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 II-51 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 inputs are inputs, other than quoted market prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not have any recurring assets or liabilities measured at fair value that would be considered Level 3. Liberty’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows: December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Quoted prices Significant other Quoted prices Significant other in active markets observable in active markets observable for identical assets inputs for identical assets inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) Total (Level 1) (Level 2) amounts in millions Cash equivalents $ 783 783 — 2,142 2,142 — Financial instrument assets $ 122 109 13 167 84 83 Debt $ 597 — 597 588 — 588 Financial instrument liabilities $ — — — 138 — 138 The majority of Liberty’s Level 2 financial instruments are debt related instruments and derivative instruments, which include foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. These assets and liabilities are not always traded publicly or not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined in GAAP. The fair values for such instruments are derived from a typical model using observable market data as the significant inputs or a trading price of a similar asset or liability is utilized. Accordingly, those financial instruments and debt or debt related instruments are reported in the foregoing table as Level 2 fair value. As of December 31, 2025, financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the other assets line item in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, $ 27 million and $ 140 million of financial instrument assets included in the table above are included in the other current assets and other assets line items, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, financial instrument liabilities included in the table above are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts. Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments, net Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following (amounts in millions): Years ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Debt measured at fair value (a) $ ( 6 ) ( 95 ) ( 13 ) Foreign currency forward contracts 335 ( 138 ) — Interest rate swaps ( 41 ) 103 28 Debt and equity securities ( 12 ) ( 5 ) 27 Other 12 ( 4 ) 2 $ 288 ( 139 ) 44 (a) The Company elected to account for its convertible notes (as described in note 8) using the fair value option. Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is exchangeable. The Company isolates the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognizes such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value II-52 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 of the convertible notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a loss of $ 4 million, loss of $ 15 million and loss of $ 12 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cumulative change since issuance was a gain of $ 65 million as of December 31, 2025, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.

Based on its amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2025, Liberty expects that amortization expense will be as follows for the next five years (amounts in millions): 2026 $ 363 2027 $ 354 2028 $ 337 2029 $ 321 2030 $ 270 Impairments The Company performed a quantitative analysis of QuintEvents during the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on near-term business trends and their impact on long-term assumptions, we concluded that the estimated fair value of QuintEvents was less than its carrying value. As a result, QuintEvents recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $ 73 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow (income approach) calculation (Level 3). (8) Debt Debt is summarized as follows: Outstanding Carrying value Principal December 31, December 31, December 31, 2025 2025 2024 amounts in millions Corporate level notes and loans: 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (1) $ 475 597 588 Other 24 24 53 Subsidiary notes and loans: Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities 3,350 3,331 2,357 MotoGP Credit Facilities 1,173 1,173 — Deferred financing costs ( 25 ) ( 6 ) Total debt $ 5,022 5,100 2,992 Debt classified as current ( 52 ) ( 26 ) Total long-term debt $ 5,048 2,966 (1) Measured at fair value 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 On August 12, 2022, Liberty issued $ 475 million convertible notes at an interest rate of 2.25 % per annum, which, at Liberty’s election, are convertible into cash, shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock and mature on August 15, 2027 (the “ 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2027”). As of December 31, 2025, the conversion rate for the notes is approximately 12.0505 shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $ 82.98 per share of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock. Liberty has elected to account for the notes using the fair value option. See note 6 for information related to unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value. II-54 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities On November 23, 2022, Formula 1 refinanced its previous Term Loan B and revolving credit facility with a new $ 725 million first lien Term Loan A, a refinanced $ 1.7 billion Term Loan B and a new $ 500 million revolving credit facility. On September 19, 2024, Formula 1 refinanced the Term Loan B with a new $ 1.7 billion Term Loan B and extended the maturities of the approximately $ 689 million Term Loan A and the $ 500 million revolving credit facility. In connection with the September 19, 2024 refinancing, Formula 1 also marketed an incremental $ 850 million of Term Loan B funding, which was in addition to an incremental $ 150 million of commitments to the Term Loan A obtained in April 2024 (collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”). The financing of the Incremental Term Loans closed on July 1, 2025 and was used to fund a portion of the MotoGP acquisition, as described in note 3. The Term Loan B, Term Loan A and revolving credit facility are collectively the “Senior Loan Facilities.” The Term Loan A and revolving credit facility mature on September 30, 2029 and the Term Loan B matures on September 30, 2031. As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the $ 500 million revolving credit facility. The margin for the Term Loan B was originally 2.25 %, was reduced to 2.0 % on September 19, 2024 and permanently stepped down to 1.75 % on November 5, 2025. The margin for the Term Loan A and revolving credit facility is between 1.50 % and 2.25 % depending on leverage ratios, amongst other things. The reference rate for the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and dollar borrowings under the revolving credit facility is the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“ Term SOFR ”). The weighted average interest rate on the Senior Loan Facilities was approximately 5.36 % and 6.19 % as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Senior Loan Facilities remain non-recourse to Liberty. The Senior Loan Facilities are secured by share pledges and floating charges over Formula 1’s primary operating companies with certain cross guarantees. Additionally, in order to manage the interest rate risk of its $ 3.3 billion Senior Loan Facilities, Formula 1 had $ 2.2 billion of interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2025, with a termination date in September 2031 and an early termination date in September 2029, at the option of the counterparty. MotoGP Credit Facilities On August 18, 2025, MotoGP refinanced its previous € 975 million Term Loan B with a new € 800 million Term Loan B with a maturity of August 18, 2032, previous € 150 million Term Loan A with a new $ 232.5 million Term Loan A with a maturity of August 18, 2030 and previous € 100 million multicurrency revolving credit facility with a new € 100 million multicurrency revolving credit facility with a maturity of August 18, 2030 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). Effective August 18, 2025, the margin for the Term Loan B was reduced from 3.25 % to 2.75 % (with a range of 2.25 % to 2.75 % depending on a leverage ratio) with a reference rate of the euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”), the margin for the Term Loan A was reduced from 2.50 % to 1.75 % (with a range of 1.50 % to 2.00 % depending on a leverage ratio) with a reference rate of Term SOFR and the margin for the revolving credit facility was reduced from 2.50 % to 2.25 % (with a range of 2.00 % to 2.50 % depending on a leverage ratio) with a reference rate of one of Term SOFR, the sterling overnight index average or EURIBOR based on the currency of the applicable borrowing. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facilities was approximately 5.01 % as of December 31, 2025. The Credit Facilities remain non-recourse to Liberty and are secured by pledges of the equity interests, accounts and intercompany receivables of MotoGP. Debt Covenants The Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities and the MotoGP Credit Facilities contain certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio. Additionally, Formula 1’s debt, MotoGP’s debt and other borrowings contain certain non-financial covenants. Fair Value of Debt Due to the variable rate nature of the Formula 1 Senior Loan Facilities and the MotoGP Credit Facilities, the Company believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value at December 31, 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense less than the expected federal rate of 21 % primarily due to certain gains that are not taxable, partially offset by earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates higher than the 21 % U.S. federal rate and an increase in our valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense primarily due to certain losses that are not deductible for tax purposes, partially offset by tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than the 21 % U.S. federal rate.

Also in December 2019, each of the Service Companies executed an amendment to each Service Company’s services agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which components of the former CEO’s compensation described below were either paid directly to the former CEO by each Service Company or reimbursed to Liberty, in each case based on allocations among Liberty and each of the Service Companies set forth in the service agreement amendments. This allocation percentage was determined based on a combination of (1) relative market capitalizations, weighted 50 %, and (2) a blended average of historical time allocation on a Liberty-wide and former CEO basis, weighted 50 %, in each case, absent agreement to the contrary by Liberty and the Service Companies in consultation with the former CEO. The allocation percentage was adjusted annually and following certain events. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allocation percentage for Liberty was 54 % and 54 %, respectively. II-59 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 The former CEO Arrangement provided for a five year employment term which began on January 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2024, with the following compensation components: (1) annual base salary of $ 3 million (with no contracted increase), (2) one-time cash commitment bonus of $ 5 million (paid in December 2019), (3) annual target cash performance bonus of $ 17 million (with payment subject to the achievement of one or more performance metrics as determined by the applicable company’s Compensation Committee), (4) upfront equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value (“GDFV”) of $ 90 million (granted in two equal tranches in December 2019 and December 2020) and (5) annual equity awards with an annual aggregate GDFV of $ 17.5 million, consisting of time-vested options and/or performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”).

Malone On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, among the Company, John C. Malone (the then Chairman of the Board of the Company), and a revocable trust of which Mr. Malone is the sole trustee and beneficiary (the “JM Trust”) (the “Exchange Agreement”), whereby, among other things, Mr. Malone agreed to an arrangement under which his aggregate voting power in the Company would not exceed 49 % (the “Target Voting Power”) plus 0.5 % (under certain circumstances). The Exchange Agreement provides for exchanges by the Company and Mr. Malone or the JM Trust of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock for shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock in connection with certain events, including (i) any event that would result in a reduction in the outstanding votes of the Company’s common stock or an increase of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power (other than a Voting Power Exchange (as defined below)) (an “Accretive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power would exceed the Target Voting Power plus 0.5 %, (ii) from and after the occurrence of any Accretive Event, any event that would result in an increase in the outstanding votes or a decrease of Mr. Malone’s beneficially-owned voting power (a “Dilutive Event”), in each case, such that Mr. Malone’s voting power falls below the Target Voting Power less 0.5 %, or (iii) on a quarterly basis or in connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders, upon request by Mr. Malone or the JM Trust, if Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company is less than the Target Voting Power and would continue to be less than the Target Voting Power upon completion of such exchange (a “Voting Power Exchange”). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement contains certain provisions with respect to fundamental events at the Company, meaning any combination, consolidation, merger, exchange offer, split-off, spin-off, rights offering or dividend, in each case, as a result of which holders of Series B common stock are entitled to receive securities of the Company, securities of another person, property or cash, or a combination thereof. In connection with an Accretive Event, Mr. Malone or the JM Trust will be required to exchange with the Company shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock (“Exchanged Series B Shares”) for an equal number of shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock so as to maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In connection with a Dilutive Event, Mr. Malone and the JM Trust may exchange with the Company shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock for an equal number of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock which would maintain Mr. Malone’s voting power as close as possible to, without exceeding, the Target Voting Power and (ii) the number of II-60 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 Exchanged Series B Shares at such time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. In a Voting Power Exchange, the Company will be required to exchange with Mr. Malone and the JM Trust shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock on a one -for- one basis for shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock, with the maximum number of shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock to be delivered to Mr. Malone or the JM Trust equal to the number of Exchanged Series B Shares at such time that may be delivered without resulting in Mr. Malone’s aggregate voting power in the Company exceeding the Target Voting Power, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement. On December 8, 2025, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Malone exchanged with the Company 47,297 shares of Series B Liberty Formula One common stock for an equivalent number of shares of Series C Liberty Formula One common stock. However, at this time, and as a result of his resignation from the board of the Company, no further exchanges to maintain the Target Voting Power are expected to be completed under the Exchange Agreement. John C. Malone’s Employment Agreement On December 12, 2008, the Committee determined to modify its employment arrangements with Mr. Malone, to permit Mr. Malone to begin receiving payments in 2009 while he remains employed by the Company (instead of following his termination) in satisfaction of Liberty’s obligations to him under two deferred compensation plans and a salary continuation plan. Under one of the deferred compensation plans (the “ 8 % Plan”), compensation has been deferred by Mr. Malone since January 1, 1993 and accrues interest at the rate of 8 % per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. Under the second plan (the “ 13 % Plan”), compensation was deferred by Mr. Malone from 1982 until December 31, 1992 and accrues interest at the rate of 13 % per annum compounded annually from the applicable date of deferral. The amounts owed to Mr. Malone under the 8 % Plan and 13 % Plan aggregated approximately $ 2.4 million and $ 20 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The amount owed to Mr. Malone under his salary continuation plan aggregated approximately $ 39 million at December 31, 2008. Mr. Malone will receive 240 equal monthly installments as follows, which began on February 1, 2009: (1) approximately $ 20,000 under the 8 % Plan; (2) approximately $ 237,000 under the 13 % Plan; and (3) approximately $ 164,000 under the salary continuation plan. Interest ceased to accrue under his salary continuation plan once the payment began. Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Malone became Liberty’s Chairman Emeritus. Mr. Malone remains an employee of the Company and therefore the terms of Mr. Malone’s employment agreement as our former Chairman apply to his role as our Chairman Emeritus. New Chairman of the Board Effective January 1, 2026, Robert R. Bennett was appointed as Chairman of the Board of the Company (the “New Chairman”). See note 12 for the grant made to the New Chairman during the year ended December 31, 2025. (12) Stock-Based Compensation Liberty grants Awards to certain of its directors, employees and employees of its subsidiaries. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified Award (such as stock options and restricted stock) based on the GDFV of the Award, and recognizes that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the Award). The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified Award based on the current fair value of the Award, and remeasures the fair value of the Award at each reporting date.

As the satisfaction of the performance objectives becomes probable, the Company records compensation expense. The value of the grant is re-measured at each reporting period. II-62 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of Series A Liberty Formula One common stock during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company has calculated the GDFV for all of its equity classified awards using the Black-Scholes Model. The Company estimates the expected term of the Awards based on historical exercise and forfeiture data. For grants made in 2025, 2024 and 2023, the range of expected terms was 5.0 to 5.6 years. The volatility used in the calculation for Awards is based on the historical volatility of Liberty’s stocks and the implied volatility of publicly traded Liberty options, as applicable. The Company uses a zero dividend rate and the risk-free rate for Treasury Bonds with a term similar to that of the subject options. The following table presents the ranges of volatilities used by the Company in the Black-Scholes Model for its stock option grants. 2025 grants 27.0 % - 36.2 % 2024 grants 36.2 % - 37.3 % 2023 grants 33.3 % - 37.3 % Outstanding Awards The following table presents the number and weighted average exercise price (“WAEP”) of options to purchase Liberty common stock granted to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company, as well as the weighted average remaining life and aggregate intrinsic value of the options.

(13) Employee Benefit Plans Liberty is the sponsor of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Liberty 401(k) Plan”), which provides its employees and the employees of certain of its subsidiaries an opportunity for ownership in the Company and creates a retirement fund. The Liberty 401(k) Plan provides for employees to make contributions to a trust for investment in Liberty common stock, as well as several mutual funds.

In addition, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have similar employee benefit plans. Employer cash contributions to all plans aggregated $ 12 million, $ 11 million and $ 10 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The 2021 Concorde Agreement expired on December 31, 2025 and was made up of two separate documents: (a) the 2021 Concorde II-65 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 Commercial Agreement between Formula 1 and each of the teams; and (b) the 2021 Concorde Governance Agreement between Formula 1, the FIA and each of the Formula 1 Teams. In March 2025, Formula 1 paid a total of $ 50 million to the 10 teams currently competing in the F1 Championship as an incentive for signing the 2026 Concorde Commercial Agreement. The $ 50 million one-time payment to the teams is excluded from Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The 2026 Concorde Commercial Agreement addresses arrangements between Formula 1 and the teams for the F1 Championship seasons covering the period 2026 to 2030, and expires on December 31, 2030. In December 2025, Formula 1, the FIA and the Formula 1 Teams entered into the 2026 Concorde Governance Agreement for the same period. Guarantees In connection with agreements for the sale of assets by the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company may retain liabilities that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company generally indemnifies the purchaser in the event that a third party asserts a claim against the purchaser that relates to a liability retained by the Company. These types of indemnification obligations may extend for a number of years. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential liability for these types of indemnification obligations as the sale agreements may not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees. Litigation The Company has contingent liabilities related to legal and tax proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of the liability accrual and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. In the opinion of management, it is expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (16) Information About Liberty’s Operating Segments The Company, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the motorsport and live entertainment industries. The Company identifies its reportable segments as (A) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B) those equity method affiliates whose share of earnings (losses) represent 10% or more of the Company’s annual pre-tax earnings (loss). Liberty’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s reportable segments based on financial measures such as revenue, operating II-66 Table of Contents LIBERTY MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 expenses (including team payments and other cost of revenue), selling, general and administrative expenses, and Adjusted OIBDA. For segment reporting purposes, the Company defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, Concorde incentive payments and restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges. The Company believes this measure 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. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, separately reported litigation settlements, Concorde incentive payments and restructuring, acquisition and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices. The Company has identified the following subsidiaries as its reportable segments: ● Formula 1 is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the F1 Championship, an annual, approximately nine-month long, motor race-based competition in which teams compete for the Constructors’ Championship and drivers compete for the Drivers’ Championship. The F1 Championship takes place on various circuits with a varying number of Formula 1 Events taking place in different countries around the world each season. Formula 1 is responsible for the commercial exploitation and development of the F1 Championship as well as various aspects of its management and administration. ● MotoGP is a global motorsports business that holds exclusive commercial rights with respect to the MotoGP Championship and other motorcycle racing championships. The MotoGP Championship is comprised of a varying number of events taking place in different countries around the world each season. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, differing revenue sources and marketing strategies. The significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company’s summary of significant policies.
