All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Liberty, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries globally. Liberty鈥檚 significant subsidiaries include Sirius XM Holdings Inc.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Liberty's Annual Report on Form聽10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

In December 2019, Chinese officials reported a novel coronavirus outbreak (鈥淐OVID-19鈥�). COVID-19 has since spread through China and internationally. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (鈥淲HO鈥�) assessed COVID-19 as a global pandemic, causing many countries throughout the world to take aggressive actions, including imposing travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, closing public attractions and restaurants, and mandating social distancing practices. As a result, the start of the 2020 Formula 1 race calendar and the Major League Baseball season have been delayed and there is uncertainty with respect to when the respective events may resume in 2020. In addition, in mid-March 2020, Live Nation suspended all large-scale live entertainment events due to COVID-19. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that would require us to update our estimates or judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. 聽Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, any such changes will be recognized in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. Liberty holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. Liberty does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, Liberty relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that the Company uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, Liberty relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on Liberty's condensed consolidated financial statements. Liberty has entered into certain agreements with Qurate Retail, Inc. (鈥淨urate Retail鈥�), Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (鈥淭ripCo鈥�), Liberty Broadband Corporation (鈥淟iberty Broadband鈥�), Liberty Expedia Holdings (prior to July 2019) and GCI Liberty, Inc. (鈥淕CI Liberty鈥�), all of which are, or were (in the case of Liberty Expedia Holdings), separate publicly traded companies, in order to govern relationships between the companies. None of these entities has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others (except that GCI Liberty owns shares of Liberty Broadband鈥檚 Series C non-voting common stock). These agreements include Reorganization Agreements (in the case of Qurate Retail and Liberty Broadband only), Services Agreements, Facilities Sharing Agreements and Tax Sharing Agreements (in the case of Liberty Broadband only). The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between Liberty and the applicable counterparty, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, Liberty provides the applicable counterparty with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Liberty is reimbursed by each counterparty for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Liberty in providing these services and, in the case of Qurate Retail, Qurate Retail's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to Qurate Retail. The remaining Services Agreements provide for the payment to Liberty of an annual fee for the provision of these services. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, Liberty shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with the other companies. Under these various agreements, approximately $10 million and $8 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to Liberty during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In December 2019, each of TripCo, Liberty Broadband, GCI Liberty and Qurate Retail (collectively, the 鈥淪ervice Companies鈥�) entered into an amendment to its respective services agreement with Liberty in connection with Liberty's entry into a new employment arrangement with Gregory B.

Formula 1 recognizes the majority of its revenue and expenses in connection with World Championship race events (鈥淓vents鈥�) that take place in different countries around the world throughout the year. The Events in the past have generally taken place between March and November each year. As a result, the revenue and expenses recognized by Formula 1 are generally lower during the first quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters throughout the year.

鈥�

Braves Holdings revenue is seasonal, with the majority of revenue recognized during the second and third quarters which aligns with the baseball season.

鈥�

We expect the timing of revenue and expenses recognized related to Formula 1 and Braves will be different in 2020 due to COVID-19 and the potential delays of their respective seasons.
