On January 11, 2013 jvid视频 was spun-off from Starz. The financials as of December 31, 2012 include the financial results of Starz. Liberty will present Starz as discontinued operations when reporting results in the first quarter of 2013. Pro forma, jvid视频 had $1.8 billion in cash and no debt at the time of the spin-off.

jvid视频鈥檚 revenue decreased 52% to $467 million in the fourth quarter and 34% to $2 billion for the year. Adjusted OIBDA decreased 76% to $77 million for the quarter and 58% to $450 million for the year. Operating income decreased 91% to $25 million for the quarter and 66% to $326 million for the year. The decrease in revenue, adjusted OIBDA and operating income was primarily related to a one-time recognition of deferred revenue and costs at TruePosition in the prior year.

Starz, LLC

Starz鈥檚 revenue decreased 2% to $423 million for the fourth quarter and increased 1% to $1.6 billion for the year. The decrease in revenue for the fourth quarter was primarily a result of a decrease in Starz Distribution revenue due to fewer titles available from The Weinstein Company and a decrease in revenue from Starz Networks primarily due to the non-renewal of the Netflix agreement. The increase in revenue for the year was primarily as a result of increases in revenue from the Starz Distribution and Starz Networks businesses which were partially offset by a decrease in revenue for the Starz Animation business.

Adjusted OIBDA increased 10% to $102 million for the fourth quarter and decreased 1% to $445 million for the year. The increase in adjusted OIBDA for the fourth quarter was primarily due to fewer exhibitions at Starz Networks of first-run (first window) films and higher utilization of second window films licensed under our output agreements with Disney and Sony and decreased advertising and marketing costs associated with original programming. Starz Networks did not have a new original series premiere during the fourth quarter of 2012, while the first season of the original series Boss premiered in October 2011. Starz Networks鈥� increase was partially offset by increased production and acquisition costs at Starz Distribution due to revisions made to ultimate revenue estimates which resulted in impairments to capitalized production and acquisition costs for certain titles.

The decrease in adjusted OIBDA for the year was primarily due to increased production and acquisition costs at Starz Distribution resulting from the revisions made in the fourth quarter to the ultimate revenue estimates as mentioned above. This decrease in adjusted OIBDA was partially offset by lower advertising and marketing costs at Starz Networks resulting from one fewer Starz original series premiere during 2012. Starz Networks had three new original series or new season premieres in 2012 as compared to four in 2011. Consolidated Eliminations also contributed to the decrease due to fewer exhibitions of Overture Films鈥� titles on Starz Networks during 2012. Operating income was flat for the fourth quarter and decreased 4% to $406 million for the year.

Share Repurchases

From November 1, 2012 through January 11, 2013, 0.7 million shares of Series A Liberty Capital common stock (Nasdaq: LMCA) were purchased at an average cost per share of $109.49 for total cash consideration of $78.2 million. After the completion of the Starz spin-off on January 11, 2013 through January 31, 2013, 0.5 million shares of Series A Liberty Capital common stock (Nasdaq: LMCA) were purchased at an average cost per share of $110.19 for total cash consideration of $52.1 million. Since the reclassification of the original Liberty Capital tracking stock on March 4, 2008 through January 11, 2013, 58.4 million shares have been repurchased at an average cost per share of $32.55 for total cash consideration of $1.9 billion. These repurchases represent 45.3% of the shares outstanding at the time of the introduction of the original Liberty Capital stock. jvid视频 has approximately $397.9 million remaining under its current stock repurchase authorization.

QUARTERLY SUMMARY

ANNUAL SUMMARY

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for jvid视频 and Starz LLC, together with a reconciliation to that entity鈥檚 operating income, as determined under GAAP. jvid视频 defines adjusted OIBDA as revenue less operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock and other equity-based compensation) and excludes from that definition depreciation and amortization, restructuring and impairment charges and legal settlements that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP.

jvid视频 believes adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business鈥� 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, jvid视频 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 jvid视频's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.

SCHEDULE 1

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted OIBDA for jvid视频 to operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012.
