Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2025

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

Liberty Global Ltd. (Liberty Global) is a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares. In these notes, the terms “we,” “our,” “our company” and “us” may refer, as the context requires, to Liberty Global or collectively to Liberty Global and its subsidiaries. We are an international provider of broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and mobile communications services to residential customers and businesses in Europe and are an active investor across the infrastructure, content and technology industries. We also provide innovative technology solutions and finance services.

Our continuing operations comprise businesses that provide residential and business-to-business (B2B) communications services in (i) Belgium and Luxembourg through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries that we collectively refer to as “Telenet” and (ii) Ireland through another wholly-owned subsidiary (VM Ireland). In addition, we own 50% noncontrolling interests in (a) a 50:50 joint venture (the VMO2 JV) with Telefónica SA (Telefónica), which provides residential and B2B communications services in the United Kingdom (U.K.), and (b) a 50:50 joint venture (the VodafoneZiggo JV) with Vodafone Group plc (Vodafone), which provides residential and B2B communications services in the Netherlands.

Prior to the completion of the Spin-off on November 8, 2024 (as defined and described in note 4), we also provided residential and B2B communications services in Switzerland through operations referred to as “Sunrise.” Sunrise, together with certain other Liberty Global subsidiaries connected to our Swiss business, are collectively referred to as the “Sunrise Entities” and are reflected as discontinued operations for all applicable periods.

On October 2, 2024, we completed the Formula E Acquisition (as defined and described in note 4), pursuant to which we acquired a controlling interest in Formula E Holdings Ltd. (Formula E) and began consolidating 100% of Formula E’s results from that date.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2024 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (our 2024 10-K).

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. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, allowances for uncollectible accounts, certain components of revenue, programming and copyright costs, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, lease terms, useful lives of long-lived assets, share-based compensation and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unless otherwise indicated, ownership percentages and convenience translations into United States (U.S.) dollars are calculated as of March 31, 2025.

(2) Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Changes

ASU 2023-09

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is intended to enhance the transparency of income tax matters within financial statements, providing stakeholders with a clearer understanding of tax positions and their associated risks and uncertainties. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a specific quantitative threshold. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis, and will provide revised disclosures for all periods presented in our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information concerning our income taxes, see note 11.

ASU 2023-07

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures regarding significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires public companies to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires a public entity to disclose, on an annual and interim basis for each reportable segment, an amount for other segment items and a description of its composition. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024, and the information presented in note 16 reflects the enhanced disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2024-03

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE) (ASU 2024-03), which requires disclosure of certain categories of expenses such as the purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization that are components of existing expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied prospectively, however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on our disclosures.

ASU 2023-05

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations — Joint Venture Formations: Recognition and Initial Measurement (ASU 2023-05), which outlines updates to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture as defined by the FASB. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. We do not expect ASU 2023-05 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(3) Revenue Recognition and Related Costs

Contract Balances

The timing of our recognition of revenue may differ from the timing of invoicing our customers. We record a trade receivable when we have transferred goods or services to a customer but have not yet received payment. Our trade receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such allowance aggregated $28.8 million and $20.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

If we transfer goods or services to a customer but do not have an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset. Contract assets typically arise from the uniform recognition of introductory promotional discounts over the contract period and accrued revenue for handset sales. Our contract assets were $10.8 million and $9.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The current and long-term portions of our contract asset balances are included within other current assets and other assets, net, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We record deferred revenue when we receive payment prior to transferring goods or services to a customer. We primarily defer revenue for (i) installation and other upfront services and (ii) other services that are invoiced prior to when services are provided. Our deferred revenue balances were $279.7 million and $289.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in deferred revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to the net effect of (a) the recognition of $182.0 million of revenue that was included in our deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2024 and (b) the impact of additions during the period. The long-term portions of our deferred revenue balances are included within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from subscription service contracts with an initial duration of less than 12 months. As such, the amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is not necessarily indicative of future revenue to be recognized from our existing customers. Revenue from customers who are subject to contracts is generally recognized over the term of such contracts, which is typically 12 months for our residential service contracts, one to three years for our mobile service contracts and one to five years for our B2B service contracts. The average remaining contractual term for B2B non-subscription services is approximately three years.

(4) Acquisitions and Dispositions

Formula E Acquisition

On October 2, 2024 (the Formula E Acquisition Date), we gained control of Formula E through the acquisition of the Formula E shares held by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (Warner Bros. Discovery) and certain other minority shareholders, which increased our ownership interest in Formula E from 38.2% to 65.6% (the Formula E Acquisition). The total purchase price for these additional shares totaled €150.0 million ($165.7 million at the transaction date). We also acquired Warner Bros. Discovery’s €50.0 million ($55.6 million at the transaction date) shareholder loan to Formula E upon closing of the transaction. Liberty Global began consolidating 100% of Formula E’s results from the Formula E Acquisition Date.

Spin-off

On November 8, 2024, we completed the Spin-off, following a series of transactions that resulted in the transfer of the Sunrise Entities to an independent, separate publicly-traded Swiss company, Sunrise Communications AG (the Spin-off). No gain or loss has been recognized in connection with the Spin-off.

The Spin-off was accomplished through the distribution of Sunrise common shares, in the form of Sunrise American depository shares (ADSs), to Liberty Global shareholders. Liberty Global shareholders received one Sunrise Class A ADS for every five Liberty Global Class A or Class C common shares and two Sunrise Class B ADSs for each Liberty Global Class B common share.

In connection with the Spin-off, we provide certain services to Sunrise on a transitional or ongoing basis (collectively, the Sunrise Services). The agreements underlying the Sunrise Services expire between 2027 and 2029. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded revenue of $49.6 million associated with the Sunrise Services, including $30.9 million related to fixed fees for the Sunrise Services and $18.7 million related to the sale of customer premises equipment (CPE) and other variable charges.

Presentation of Discontinued Operations

The operations of the Sunrise Entities are presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The operating results of the Sunrise Entities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are summarized in the following table (in millions).

_______________

(a)Represents our economic ownership based on total shares owned as a percentage of total shares outstanding as of the most recent balance sheet date or the most recent publicly-available information.

(b)Our equity method investments are originally recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliates as they occur rather than as dividend distributions are received, with our recognition of losses generally limited to the extent of our investment in, and loans and commitments to, the investee. Accordingly, the carrying values of our equity method investments may not equal the respective fair values. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate carrying amounts of our equity method investments exceeded our proportionate share of the respective investee’s net assets by $942.0 million and $901.2 million, respectively, related to amounts associated with the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables, as defined below.

(c)Amounts include certain notes receivable due from a subsidiary of the VodafoneZiggo JV to a subsidiary of Liberty Global, comprising (i) a €700.0 million note receivable ($756.8 million and $724.4 million equivalent at March 31, 2025

The VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables bear interest at a rate of 5.55% and have a final maturity date of December 31, 2030. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest accrued on the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables was €12.3 million ($13.3 million), all of which has been cash settled.

(d)Liberty Global owns a 50% noncontrolling voting interest in the AtlasEdge JV.

(e)Liberty Global owns a 25% noncontrolling voting interest in the nexfibre JV.

(f)Represents investments held under SMAs, which are maintained by investment managers acting as agents on our behalf. We classify, measure and report these investments, the composition of which may change from time to time, based on the underlying nature and characteristics of each security held under the SMAs. With the exception of our SMA in a leveraged structured note, all of our investments held under SMAs were sold as of March 31, 2025. Our SMA held in a leveraged structured note is accounted for at fair value and the associated gains or losses are included in realized and unrealized gains due to changes in fair values of certain investments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2024, interest accrued on our debt securities, which is included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $7.2 million.

(g)In connection with our investment in Vodafone, we entered into a share collar (the Vodafone Collar) with respect to the Vodafone shares held by our company. The aggregate purchase price paid to acquire our investment in Vodafone was partially financed through borrowings under a secured borrowing agreement (the Vodafone Collar Loan) collateralized by the Vodafone shares. Under the terms of the Vodafone Collar, the counterparty has the right to re-use pledged Vodafone shares. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net fair value of our investment in Vodafone was $99.9 million and $89.3 million, respectively.

(h)Our investment in Plume includes warrants with a fair value of $23.0 million and $24.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

VMO2 JV

Pursuant to an agreement (the U.K. JV Framework Agreement), Liberty Global provides certain services to the VMO2 JV on a transitional or ongoing basis (collectively, the U.K. JV Services). The agreements underlying the U.K. JV Services expire between 2027 and 2029. The U.K. JV Services provided by Liberty Global consist primarily of (i) technology and other services and (ii) capital-related expenditures for assets that will be used by, or will otherwise benefit, the VMO2 JV. Liberty Global charges both fixed and variable fees to the VMO2 JV for the U.K. JV Services provided pursuant to the U.K. JV Framework Agreement. We recorded revenue from the VMO2 JV of $88.5 million and $112.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, including $54.1 million and $48.9 million, respectively, related to fixed fees for the U.K. JV Services and $34.4 million and $63.4 million, respectively, related to the sale of CPE to the VMO2 JV at a mark-up and other variable charges. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $57.4 million and $37.5 million, respectively, was due from the VMO2 JV related to the aforementioned transactions.

(a)Amounts represent an investment in a leveraged structured note issued by a third-party investment bank, which is accounted for at fair value and has a scheduled maturity date of October 1, 2026. The return on the leveraged structured note is based on changes in the fair value of a proportionate amount of debt issued by various Liberty Global consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (including the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV). The proportionate amount of debt associated with the return on the leveraged structured note may change from time to time as a result of open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions or prepayments, in each case, completed by Liberty Global consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates. While the structured note itself contains leverage, our at-risk investment is the estimated fair value as reported. During 2024, we invested an additional $46.6 million and redeemed $62.3 million of the leveraged structured note. The proportionate amount of debt issued by Liberty Global consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates associated with the return on the leveraged structured note is summarized in the following table:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024

Subsidiary:
Telenet	36.80	%	32.10	%

We received proceeds from the sale and maturities of debt securities of $0.7 billion and $1.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The sale of debt securities resulted in realized net gains (losses) of $0.5 million and ($11.2 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our investment portfolio is subject to various macroeconomic pressures and has experienced significant volatility, which affects both our non-public and publicly-traded investments. Changes in the fair values of these investments, including changes with respect to interest rates within our local jurisdictions, are likely to continue and could be significant.

(6) Derivative Instruments

In general, we enter into derivative instruments to protect against (i) increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt, (ii) foreign currency movements, particularly with respect to borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the borrowing entity, and (iii) decreases in the market prices of certain publicly-traded securities that we own. In this regard, through our subsidiaries, we have entered into various derivative instruments to manage interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure primarily with respect to the U.S. dollar ($), the euro (€) and the British pound sterling (£). Generally, we only apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments in limited circumstances. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of most of our derivative instruments are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities:

(a)Our long-term derivative assets and current and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other assets, net, other accrued and current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(b)We consider credit risk relating to our and our counterparties’ nonperformance in the fair value assessment of our derivative instruments. In all cases, the adjustments take into account offsetting liability or asset positions within each of our subsidiary borrowing groups (as defined and described in note 9). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains (losses) of $4.2 million and ($3.3 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 7.

(c)Our equity-related derivative instruments include the Vodafone Collar. The fair value of the Vodafone Collar does not include credit risk valuation adjustments as we assume that any losses incurred by our company in the event of

LIBERTY GLOBAL LTD.

nonperformance by the respective counterparty would be, subject to relevant insolvency laws, fully offset against amounts we owe to such counterparty pursuant to the related secured borrowing arrangements.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments of our subsidiary borrowing groups will default on their obligations to us. We manage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with our derivative instruments is spread across a relatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions, however notwithstanding, given the size of our derivative portfolio, the default of certain counterparties could have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations. Collateral is generally not posted by either party under our derivative instruments. At March 31, 2025, our exposure to counterparty credit risk included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $334.5 million.

Details of our Derivative Instruments

Cross-currency Swap Contracts

We generally match the denomination of our subsidiaries’ borrowings with the functional currency of the supporting operations or, when it is more cost effective, we provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. At March 31, 2025, substantially all of our debt was either directly or synthetically matched to the applicable functional currencies of the underlying operations. The following table sets forth the total notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our cross-currency swap contracts at March 31, 2025:

Interest Rate Swap Options

We have entered into various interest rate swap options (swaptions), which give either us or the bank the right, but not the obligation, to enter into certain interest rate swap contracts at set dates in the future, with each such contract having a life of no more than five years. At the transaction date, where we have bought the swaption, the strike rate of the contract was above the corresponding market rate. Where the bank has bought the swaption, the strike rate was below the corresponding market rate. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our swaptions at March 31, 2025:

(b)Represents the weighted average interest rate that we would pay if either we or our counterparties exercised our respective options to enter into the interest rate swap contracts.

Basis Swaps

Our basis swaps involve the exchange of attributes used to calculate our floating interest rates, including (i) the benchmark rate, (ii) the underlying currency and/or (iii) the borrowing period. We typically enter into these swaps to optimize our interest rate profile based on our current evaluations of yield curves, our risk management policies and other factors. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our basis swap contracts at March 31, 2025:

Telenet	$	3,495.1	0.5

Interest Rate Caps, Floors and Collars

From time to time, we enter into interest rate cap, floor and collar agreements. Purchased interest rate caps and collars lock in a maximum interest rate if variable rates rise, but also allow our company to benefit, to a limited extent in the case of collars, from declines in market rates. Purchased interest rate floors protect us from interest rates falling below a certain level, generally to match a floating rate floor on a debt instrument. At March 31, 2025, we had no interest rate collar agreements, and the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts of our purchased interest rate caps and floors were $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

Impact of Derivative Instruments on Borrowing Costs

The impact of the derivative instruments that mitigate our foreign currency and interest rate risk, as described above, on our borrowing costs is as follows:


	Decrease to borrowing costs at March 31, 2025 (a)


VM Ireland	(2.02)	%
Telenet	(1.93)	%
Total decrease to borrowing costs	(1.94)	%

_______________

(a)Represents the effect of derivative instruments in effect at March 31, 2025 and does not include forward-starting derivative instruments or swaptions.

Foreign Currency Forwards and Options

Certain of our subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. As of March 31, 2025, the total U.S. dollar equivalent of the notional amounts of our foreign currency forward and option contracts was $509.2 million.

(7) Fair Value Measurements

We use the fair value method to account for (i) certain of our investments and (ii) our derivative instruments. The reported fair values of these investments and derivative instruments as of March 31, 2025 are unlikely to represent the value that will be paid or received upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assets and liabilities.

GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. 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 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. We record transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the quarter during which the transfer occurred.

We use a Monte Carlo based approach to incorporate a credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair value measurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to our cross-currency and interest rate swap contracts are quantified and further explained in note 6.

Fair value measurements are also used for nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with acquisition accounting and impairment assessments. These nonrecurring valuations include the valuation of reporting units, customer relationships and other intangible assets, property and equipment and the implied value of goodwill. The valuation of reporting units is based on an income-based approach (discounted cash flows) using assumptions in our long-range business plans or a market-based approach (current multiples of comparable public companies and guideline transactions) and, in some cases, a combination of an income-based approach and a market-based approach. With the exception of certain inputs for our weighted average cost of capital and discount rate calculations that are derived from pricing services, the inputs used in our discounted cash flow analyses, such as forecasts of future cash flows, including inputs with respect to revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin (as defined in note 16), and terminal growth rates, are based on our assumptions. The valuation of customer relationships is primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is a form of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodology requires us to estimate the specific cash flows expected from the customer relationship, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenue expected to be generated over the life of the customer relationship, contributory asset charges and other factors. Tangible assets are typically valued using a replacement or reproduction cost approach, considering factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence. The implied value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination, with the residual amount allocated to goodwill. Most of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 we did not perform any significant nonrecurring fair value measurements.

For additional information concerning our fair value measurements, see note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded non-cash increases to our property and equipment related to vendor financing arrangements of $20.6 million and $30.6 million, respectively, which exclude related value-added taxes (VAT) of $3.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, that were also financed under these arrangements.

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of our goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2025 are set forth below:


	January 1, 2025		Acquisitions and related adjustments		Foreign currency translation adjustments and other		March 31, 2025
	in millions

Telenet	$	2,656.4	$	2.3	$	118.8	$	2,777.5

Total	$	3,152.6	$	17.7	$	140.6	$	3,310.9

If, among other factors the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets. Any such impairment charges could be significant.

(a)Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at March 31, 2025 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin. The interest rates presented represent stated rates and do not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. Including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of deferred financing costs and certain other obligations that we assumed in connection with certain acquisitions, the weighted average interest rate on our aggregate variable- and fixed-rate indebtedness was 3.72% at March 31, 2025. The weighted average interest rate calculation includes principal amounts outstanding associated with all of our secured and unsecured borrowings. For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 6.

(b)Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at March 31, 2025 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. The following table provides our borrowing availability and amounts available to loan or distribute in accordance with the terms of the respective subsidiary facilities (i) at March 31, 2025 and (ii) upon completion of the relevant March 31, 2025 compliance reporting requirements. These amounts do not consider any actual or potential changes to our borrowing levels or any amounts

(d)Unused borrowing capacity under the VM Ireland Credit Facility relates to €100.0 million ($108.1 million) under the VM Ireland Revolving Facility, which was undrawn at March 31, 2025. In March 2025, commitments under the VM Ireland Revolving Facility were increased by €11.1 million ($12.0 million). The VM Ireland Revolving Facility now provides for maximum borrowing capacity of €100.0 million.

(e)For information regarding the Vodafone Collar Loan, see note 5.

(f)Represents amounts owed to various creditors pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are used to finance certain of our property and equipment additions and operating expenses. These arrangements extend our repayment terms beyond a vendor’s original due dates (e.g., extension beyond a vendor’s customary payment terms, which are generally 90 days or less) and as such are classified outside of accounts payable as debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These obligations are generally due within one year and include VAT that was also financed under these arrangements. For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, operating-related expenses financed by an intermediary are treated as constructive operating cash outflows and constructive financing cash inflows when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor as there is no actual cash outflow until we pay the financing intermediary. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the constructive cash outflow included in cash flows from operating activities and the corresponding constructive cash inflow included in cash flows from financing activities related to these operating expenses were $71.2 million and $97.4 million, respectively. Repayments of vendor financing obligations at the time we pay the financing intermediary are included in repayments and repurchases of debt and finance lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(g)Amounts include (i) $215.1 million and $195.8 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of debt collateralized by certain trade receivables of Telenet and (ii) $397.0 million and $390.5 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of liabilities related to Telenet’s acquisition of mobile spectrum licenses. Telenet will make annual payments for the license fees over the terms of the respective licenses.

(h)As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our debt had an estimated fair value of $9.3 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively. The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are generally determined using the average of applicable bid and ask prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). For additional information regarding fair value hierarchies, see note 7.

General Information

At March 31, 2025, most of our outstanding debt had been incurred by one of our two subsidiary “borrowing groups.” References to these borrowing groups, which comprise Telenet and VM Ireland, include their respective restricted parent and subsidiary entities. Below we provide summary descriptions of certain financing transactions completed during 2025. For information regarding the general terms and conditions of our debt and capitalized terms not defined herein, see note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K.

Financing Transactions

In February 2025, Telenet entered into a €500.0 million ($540.6 million) sustainability-linked term loan facility (Telenet Facility AU). Telenet Facility AU was issued at 99.75% of par, matures on March 31, 2033 and bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR + 3.0%, subject to a EURIBOR floor of 0.0%. The interest rate on Telenet Facility AU is subject to adjustment based on Telenet’s achievement or otherwise of certain Environmental, Social and Governance metrics. The net proceeds from Telenet Facility AU were used to refinance €500.0 million of the €890.0 million ($962.2 million) outstanding principal amount under Telenet Facility AT1. In connection with this transaction, Telenet recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $8.0 million related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

Maturities of Debt

Maturities of our debt as of March 31, 2025 are presented below for the named entity and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted, and represent U.S. dollar equivalents based on March 31, 2025 exchange rates.

______________

(a)Operating lease payments exclude $84.3 million of estimated future payments for lease commitments not yet commenced at Telenet, the majority of which are not anticipated to be due until after 2028. These payments relate to the lease back of build-to-suit sites on certain passive infrastructure and tower assets sold to DigitalBridge Investments LLC in 2022. Telenet will act as an agent over the construction of future towers on the build-to-suit sites.

(11) Income Taxes

Liberty Global is a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and is not considered to be a tax resident in any other jurisdiction or country. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the CIT Act) which provides for the taxation of the Bermuda constituent entities of certain large multinational groups beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Prior to 2025, we used the U.K. statutory rate to compute our “expected” income tax benefit or expense as management believed it to be more meaningful, as Bermuda did not impose an income tax in those periods. As the CIT Act is now in effect, we will use the Bermuda statutory rate of 15.0% to compute our expected income tax benefit or expense for 2025 and future periods.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 5.0% (income tax benefit of $70.0 million), which differs from the Bermuda statutory rate of 15.0% (expected income tax benefit of $209.0 million). This difference is primarily due to the negative impact of (i) non-deductible net foreign exchange losses in the U.K. of $308.2 million (22.1%) and (ii) non-deductible net losses from investments in certain subsidiaries and affiliates in the U.K. and the Netherlands of $43.3 million (3.2%). The negative impact of these items was partially offset by the net positive impact of statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory rate, including $132.6 million (9.5%) in the U.K., and the release of valuation allowances in Luxembourg of $86.0 million (6.2%).

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 6.3% (income tax expense of $42.8 million), which differs from the U.K. statutory rate of 25.0% (expected income tax expense of $169.3 million). This difference is primarily due to the positive impact of non-taxable net foreign exchange gains in the U.K. of $163.9 million (24.2%), partially offset by the net negative impact of certain non-taxable or non-deductible items in the Netherlands, Belgium and the U.K. of $27.5 million (4.1%).

As of March 31, 2025, our unrecognized tax benefits were $300.5 million, of which $264.1 million would have a favorable impact on our effective income tax rate if ultimately recognized, after considering amounts that we would expect to be offset by valuation allowances and other factors.

We and our subsidiaries file consolidated and standalone income tax returns in various jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, our income tax filings are subject to review by various taxing authorities. In connection with such reviews, disputes could arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain income tax rules related to our business in that tax jurisdiction. Such disputes may result in future tax and interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. The ultimate resolution of tax contingencies will take place upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date with the applicable taxing authorities in either cash or agreement of income tax positions or (ii) the date when the tax authorities are statutorily prohibited from adjusting the company’s tax computations.

In general, tax returns filed by our company or our subsidiaries for years prior to 2019 are no longer subject to examination

by tax authorities. Certain of our subsidiaries are currently involved in income tax examinations in various jurisdictions in which we operate, including Luxembourg and the U.S. While we do not expect adjustments from the foregoing examinations to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, no assurance can be given that this will be the case given the amounts involved and the complex nature of the related issues.

On October 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a suit against Liberty Global, Inc. (LGI), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Liberty Global, in the U.S. District Court of Colorado for unpaid federal income taxes and penalties for the 2018 tax year of approximately $284 million. This action by the U.S. Department of Justice is related to the November 2020 complaint filed by LGI in the U.S. District Court of Colorado seeking a refund of approximately $110 million of taxes, penalties and interest associated with the application of certain temporary treasury regulations issued in June 2019. In October 2023, the U.S. District Court of Colorado entered judgement against LGI with respect to the refund claim and we appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (Court of Appeals) in December 2023. No amounts have been accrued by LGI with respect to this matter. We continue to vigorously defend this matter and actively pursue our claim for refund.

In January 2021, we petitioned the U.S. Tax Court with respect to unresolved issues related to our 2010 tax year for which we had already recognized an accrued liability for an uncertain tax position. In November 2023, we received an unfavorable decision, which we will appeal to the Court of Appeals. In December 2023, we made a payment of the disputed tax in the amount of $315 million, which reduced our accrued liability for uncertain tax benefits on our consolidated balance sheet but will continue to be included in our inventory of unrecognized tax benefits as the position is not yet settled. We continue to vigorously defend our position, however, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in the litigation process, there can be no assurance that the Court of Appeals will rule in our favor.

(12) Equity

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 3,197,997 of our Class C common shares at an average price per share of $12.13, for an aggregate purchase price of $38.8 million, including direct acquisition costs.

Under our current share repurchase program, we are authorized during 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining number of our Class A and/or Class C common shares that we are authorized to repurchase during 2025 was 31.7 million. Based on the average of the respective closing share prices as of March 31, 2025, this would equate to additional share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 of approximately $372.2 million. However, the actual U.S. dollar amount of our share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 will be determined by the actual transaction date share prices during the year and could differ significantly from this amount.

	Three months ended March 31,
		2025		2024
		in millions

Liberty Global (a):
Non-performance based incentive awards		$	21.8	$	28.3
Performance-based incentive awards		5.5		2.1
Other (b)		6.1		7.4
Total Liberty Global		33.4		37.8

The following table provides the aggregate number of options, SARs and performance-based share appreciation rights (PSARs) with respect to awards issued by Liberty Global that were (i) outstanding and (ii) exercisable as of March 31, 2025:


	Class A			Class C
	Gross number of shares underlying option, SAR and PSAR awards (a)	Weighted average exercise or base price		Gross number of shares underlying option, SAR and PSAR awards (a)	Weighted average exercise or base price

Held by Liberty Global employees:
Outstanding	40,413,510	$	14.28	90,290,703	$	14.38
Exercisable	31,263,269	$	15.46	73,130,473	$	15.16

Held by former Liberty Global employees (b):
Outstanding	3,192,113	$	16.35	6,249,866	$	16.34
Exercisable	2,741,048	$	17.12	5,371,446	$	17.00

_______________

(a)Amounts represent the gross number of shares associated with option, SAR and PSAR awards issued to our current and former employees and our directors. Our company settles SARs and PSARs on a net basis when exercised by the award holder, whereby the number of shares issued represents the excess value of the award based on the market price of the respective Liberty Global shares at the time of exercise relative to the award’s exercise price. In addition, the number of shares issued is further reduced by the amount of the employee’s required income tax withholding.

(b)Amounts represent certain share-based awards that continue to be held by former employees of Liberty Global subsequent to certain split-off or disposal transactions. Although future exercises of these awards by former employees will not result in the recognition of share-based compensation expense, such exercises will increase the number of our outstanding common shares.

The following table provides the aggregate number of restricted share units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted share units (PSUs) that were outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The number of shares to be issued on the vesting date of these awards will be reduced by the amount of the employee’s required income tax withholding.


	Class A	Class C

Held by Liberty Global employees:
RSUs	4,402,005	6,263,136
PSUs	5,006,297	6,821,790
Held by former Liberty Global employees (a):
RSUs	131,484	260,393
PSUs	4,281	4,241

_______________

(a)Amounts represent certain share-based awards that continue to be held by former employees of Liberty Global subsequent to certain split-off or disposal transactions. The future vesting of these RSUs and PSUs will increase the number of our outstanding common shares.

2025 PSUs

In March 2025, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the grant of PSUs to executive officers and certain employees (the 2025 PSUs). The performance metric for the 2025 PSUs is the appreciation of Liberty Global’s average share price during the performance period commencing March 21, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027. The payout is determined based on the achievement of certain share price levels, as adjusted by the committee for (i) corporate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, spin-offs, mergers, and (ii) force majeure type events such as natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other unanticipated events impacting the business that are outside of our control. Share price appreciation of 0% to 80% will generally result in award recipients earning 0% to 200% of their target 2025 PSUs. In addition, 50% of the 2025 PSUs award payout may be "banked" if Liberty Global’s average share price exceeds specific target levels ranging from 30% to 50% during the performance period, subject to a cap of 75% of the target 2025 PSUs. The earned 2025 PSUs will fully vest on February 15, 2028.

(14) Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Liberty Global shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares from share-based incentive awards as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented. For additional information regarding our share-based incentive awards, see note 13.

The details of our net earnings (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders are set forth below:


	Three months ended March 31,
		2025		2024
		in millions, except share amounts

Earnings (loss) from continuing operations		$	(1,323.3)	$	634.5
Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests		(14.0)		(17.0)
Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders		$	(1,337.3)	$	617.5

Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic EPS computation)		348,407,676		377,747,016
Incremental shares (a)		—		7,362,615
Weighted average common shares outstanding (diluted EPS computation)		348,407,676		385,109,631

Excluded potentially dilutive employee share-based incentive awards (b)		163,331,498		73,278,364

_______________

(a)We use the treasury stock method to calculate our incremental shares attributable to the assumed exercise or release of the outstanding share-based incentive awards upon vesting. Certain of our share incentive plans include performance and/or other features that result in the associated shares being contingently issuable. For purposes of applying the treasury stock method, the dilutive effect of these awards is calculated based on the number of the shares that would be issuable as if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period.

(b)Amounts represent potentially dilutive shares that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Liberty Global shareholders because their effect would have been anti-dilutive or, in the case of PSUs, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that commit our company to make cash payments in future periods with respect to purchases of CPE and other equipment and services, programming contracts, network and connectivity commitments and other items. The following table sets forth the U.S. dollar equivalents of such commitments as of March 31, 2025. The commitments included in this table do not reflect any liabilities that are included on our March 31, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet.


	Payments due during:
	Remainder of 2025
			2026		2027		2028		2029		2030		Thereafter		Total
	in millions

Purchase commitments	$	538.4	$	556.7	$	489.6	$	455.7	$	83.9	$	20.6	$	17.8	$	2,162.7
Programming commitments	90.8		39.5		28.6		0.7		—		—		—		159.6
Network and connectivity commitments	55.9		50.3		11.5		8.3		7.8		0.1		0.1		134.0
Other commitments	338.7		185.5		18.3		11.6		8.1		3.6		2.7		568.5
Total	$	1,023.8	$	832.0	$	548.0	$	476.3	$	99.8	$	24.3	$	20.6	$	3,024.8

Purchase commitments include unconditional and legally binding obligations related to (i) certain service-related commitments, including software development, information technology, maintenance and call center services and (ii) the purchase of CPE.

Programming commitments consist of obligations associated with certain of our programming, studio output and sports rights contracts that are enforceable and legally binding on us as we have agreed to pay minimum fees without regard to (i) the actual number of subscribers to the programming services, (ii) whether we terminate service to a portion of our subscribers or dispose of a portion of our distribution systems or (iii) whether we discontinue our premium sports services. Programming commitments do not include increases in future periods associated with contractual inflation or other price adjustments that are not fixed. Accordingly, the amounts reflected in the above table with respect to these contracts are significantly less than the amounts we expect to pay in these periods under these contracts. Historically, payments to programming vendors have represented a significant portion of our operating costs, and we expect this will continue to be the case in future periods. In this regard, our total programming and copyright costs aggregated $108.5 million and $112.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Network and connectivity commitments include certain equipment and service-related commitments at Telenet.

Other commitments include (i) our share of the funding commitment associated with the nexfibre JV and (ii) race management commitments associated with Formula E.

In addition to the commitments set forth in the table above, we have significant commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans and similar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the net cash paid or received in connection with these instruments, see note 6.

We also have commitments pursuant to agreements with, and obligations imposed by, franchise authorities and municipalities, which may include obligations in certain markets to move aerial cable to underground ducts or to upgrade, rebuild or extend portions of our broadband communication systems. Such amounts are not included in the above table because they are not fixed or determinable.

Furthermore, in connection with a future sale of our interest in, or an initial public offering of, Formula E, we have agreed to pay a third party a portion of our economic gain. We estimate that this contingent obligation is not currently significant.

Guarantees and Other Credit Enhancements

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/or financial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making any material payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other Contingencies

Interkabel Acquisition. On November 26, 2007, Telenet and four associations of municipalities in Belgium, which we refer to as the pure intercommunales or the “PICs,” announced a non-binding agreement-in-principle to transfer the analog and digital television activities of the PICs, including all existing subscribers, to Telenet. Subsequently, Telenet and the PICs entered into a binding agreement (the 2008 PICs Agreement), which closed effective October 1, 2008. Beginning in December 2007, Proximus NV/SA (Proximus), the incumbent telecommunications operator in Belgium, instituted several proceedings seeking to block implementation of these agreements. Proximus lodged summary proceedings with the President of the Court of First Instance of Antwerp to obtain a provisional injunction preventing the PICs from effecting the agreement-in-principle and initiated a civil procedure on the merits claiming the annulment of the agreement-in-principle. In March 2008, the President of the Court of First Instance of Antwerp ruled in favor of Proximus in the summary proceedings, which ruling was overturned by the Court of Appeal of Antwerp in June 2008. Proximus brought an appeal judgment before the Belgian Supreme Court, which confirmed the appeal judgment in September 2010. On April 6, 2009, the Court of First Instance of Antwerp ruled in favor of the PICs and Telenet in the civil procedure on the merits, dismissing Proximus’ request for the rescission of the agreement-in-principle and the 2008 PICs Agreement. On June 12, 2009, Proximus appealed this judgment to the Court of Appeal of Antwerp. In this appeal, Proximus also sought compensation for damages. While these proceedings were suspended indefinitely, other proceedings were initiated, which resulted in a ruling by the Belgian Council of State in May 2014 annulling (i) the decision of the PICs not to organize a public market consultation and (ii) the decision from the PICs’ board of directors to approve the 2008 PICs Agreement. In December 2015, Proximus resumed the civil proceedings pending with the Court of Appeal of Antwerp seeking to have the 2008 PICs Agreement annulled and claiming damages of €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion). On December 18, 2017, the Court of Appeal of Antwerp rejected Proximus’ claim in its entirety. On June 28, 2019, Proximus brought this appeal judgment before the Belgian Supreme Court. On January 22, 2021, the Belgian Supreme Court partially annulled the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Antwerp. The case was referred to the Court of Appeal of Brussels and is currently pending with this Court which will need to make a new decision on the matter within the boundaries of the annulment by the Belgian Supreme Court. It is likely that it will take the Court of Appeal of Brussels several years to decide on the matter.

No assurance can be given as to the outcome of these or other proceedings. However, an unfavorable outcome of existing or future proceedings could potentially lead to the annulment of the 2008 PICs Agreement. We do not expect the ultimate resolution of this matter to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. No amounts have been accrued by us with respect to this matter as the likelihood of loss is not considered to be probable.

Telekom Deutschland Litigation. On December 28, 2012, Unitymedia filed a lawsuit against Telekom Deutschland GmbH (Telekom Deutschland) in which Unitymedia asserted that it pays excessive prices for the co-use of Telekom Deutschland’s cable ducts in Unitymedia’s footprint. The Federal Network Agency approved rates for the co-use of certain ducts of Telekom Deutschland in March 2011. Based in part on these approved rates, Unitymedia sought a reduction of the annual lease fees by approximately five-sixths. In addition, Unitymedia sought the return of similarly calculated overpayments from 2009 through the ultimate settlement date, plus accrued interest. In October 2016, the first instance court dismissed this action, and in March 2018, the court of appeal dismissed Unitymedia’s appeal of the first instance court’s decision. Unitymedia has since successfully appealed the case to the Federal Court of Justice, and proceedings continue before the German courts. The resolution of this matter may take several years and no assurance can be given that Unitymedia’s claims will be successful. In connection with our sale of our former operations in Germany, Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic to Vodafone (the Vodafone Disposal Group) in 2019, we will only share in 50% of any amounts recovered, plus 50% of the net present value of certain cost savings in future periods that are attributable to the favorable resolution of this matter, less 50% of associated legal or other third-party fees paid post-completion of the sale of the Vodafone Disposal Group. Any amount we may recover related to this matter will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements until such time as the final disposition of this matter has been reached.

Other Contingency Matters. In connection with the dispositions of certain of our operations, we provided tax indemnities to the counterparties for certain tax liabilities that could arise from the period we owned the respective operations, the amounts of which could be significant, subject to certain thresholds. No amounts have been accrued by our company related to unasserted claims for indemnification, as the likelihood of any loss is not considered to be probable. Further, Liberty Global may be entitled to certain amounts that our disposed operations may recover from taxing authorities. Any such amounts will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements until such time as the final disposition of such matters has been reached.

Other Regulatory Matters. Broadband internet, video distribution, fixed-line telephony, mobile and content businesses are regulated in each of the countries in which we or our affiliates operate. The scope of regulation varies from country to country, although in some significant respects regulation in European markets is harmonized under the regulatory structure of the European Union (E.U.), and largely similar rules apply in the U.K. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number of risks. Regulation, including conditions imposed on us by competition or other authorities as a requirement to close acquisitions or dispositions, could limit growth, revenue and the number and types of services offered and could lead to increased operating costs and property and equipment additions. Regulation may also restrict our operations and subject them to further competitive pressure, including pricing restrictions, interconnect and other access obligations, and restrictions or controls on content, including content provided by third parties. Failure to comply with current or future regulation could expose our businesses to various penalties.

In addition to the foregoing items, we have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legal proceedings, (ii) issues involving VAT and wage, property, withholding and other tax issues and (iii) disputes over interconnection, programming, copyright and channel carriage fees. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy these contingencies will not materially differ from any estimated amounts we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of these contingencies will not result in a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given period. Due, in general, to the complexity of the issues involved and, in certain cases, the lack of a clear basis for predicting outcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from any unfavorable outcomes.

(16) Segment Reporting

Our chief executive officer, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), views our business as three strategic platforms, “Liberty Telecom” (our converged broadband, video and mobile communications businesses), “Liberty Growth” (our global investment arm comprised of various technology, media/content, sports, digital infrastructure and other growth assets) and “Liberty Services” (our innovative technology and finance service platforms offered by our centralized functions), each as further discussed below. Performance of our business is assessed and resources are allocated by our CODM on a segment basis. We generally identify our reportable segments as (i) those consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of our total reportable segment revenue or proportionate Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) or (ii) those equity method affiliates where revenue or our share of Adjusted EBITDA represents 10% or more of our total reportable segment revenue or proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. In certain cases, we may elect to include an operating segment in our segment disclosure that does not meet the above-described criteria for a reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by our CODM to evaluate segment operating performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our operating segments. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate income generated from our segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into other areas of our business, such as for acquisitions or investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, which is used in assessing the performance of segments in comparison with one another and in establishing management’s compensation. The significant accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 10-K. In addition, our CODM reviews non-financial measures such as customer growth, as appropriate, but does not review any measure of total assets.

As we use the term, “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before net income tax benefit (expense), other non-operating income or expenses, net share of results of affiliates, net gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, net realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to changes in fair values of certain investments, net foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment,

restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (a) readily view operating trends, (b) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (c) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. A reconciliation of total reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes is presented below.

As of March 31, 2025, our reportable segments are as follows:

Consolidated:

•Telenet

•VM Ireland

Nonconsolidated:

•VMO2 JV

•VodafoneZiggo JV

Telenet, VM Ireland, the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV are included in our “Liberty Telecom” strategic platform and derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B communications services, including broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and mobile services.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, our previously defined “Central and Other” reportable segment was reorganized into various other operating segments, which are not separately or in the aggregate identified as reportable segments. Prior periods have been revised in accordance with this reorganization.

The “Liberty Growth” strategic platform, included in the “all other category,” comprises certain investments in technology, media/content, sports and digital infrastructure companies that we view as scalable businesses, which derive their revenue from providing various goods, services and content to customers (Liberty Growth).

The “Liberty Services” strategic platform, included in the “all other category,” primarily includes our technology and services operating segments that generate revenue through (i) sales of CPE to our reportable segments and certain third parties and (ii) providing certain centralized back office functions, including network operations and technology solutions (Liberty Services).

We also have certain corporate activities that are included in the “all other category,” which include (i) revenue associated with certain finance and administrative services provided to various third parties and affiliates pursuant to service agreements and (ii) costs associated with certain centralized functions including billing systems, marketing, facilities, finance and other administrative functions.

Liberty Growth, Liberty Services and our corporate activities are all included in the “all other category” as they do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds.

We present only the reportable segments of our continuing operations in the tables below.

Our centrally-managed technology and innovation function (our T&I Function) provides, and allocates charges for, certain products and services to our reportable segments (the Tech Framework). These products and services include CPE hardware and related essential software, maintenance, hosting and other services. Our reportable segments capitalize the combined cost of the CPE hardware and a portion of the essential software as property and equipment additions and the corresponding amounts charged by our T&I Function are reflected as revenue when earned.

Performance Measures of Our Reportable Segments

The amounts presented in the tables below represent 100% of each of our consolidated and nonconsolidated reportable segment’s revenue, expenses and Adjusted EBITDA, despite only holding a 50% noncontrolling interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV. We account for our 50% interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV as an equity method investment, and as such, our share of the operating results of the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV is included in share of results of affiliates, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The noncontrolling owners’ interests at Telenet, Formula E and other less significant majority-owned subsidiaries are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Overview

General

We are an international provider of broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and mobile communications services to residential customers and businesses in Europe and are an active investor across the infrastructure, content and technology industries. We also provide innovative technology solutions and finance services. Our continuing operations comprise businesses that provide residential and B2B communications services in (i) Belgium and Luxembourg through Telenet and (ii) Ireland through VM Ireland. In addition, we own 50% noncontrolling interests in (a) the VMO2 JV, which provides residential and B2B communications services in the U.K., and (b) the VodafoneZiggo JV, which provides residential and B2B communications services in the Netherlands.

Prior to the completion of the Spin-off on November 8, 2024, we also provided residential and B2B communications services in Switzerland through Sunrise. Sunrise, together with certain other Liberty Global subsidiaries connected to our Swiss business, are collectively referred to as the Sunrise Entities and are reflected as discontinued operations for all applicable periods. In the following discussion and analysis, the operating statistics, results of operations, cash flows and financial

condition that we present and discuss are those of our continuing operations, unless otherwise indicated. For additional information regarding the Spin-off, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 2, 2024, we completed the Formula E Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired a controlling interest in Formula E and began consolidating 100% of Formula E’s results from that date. For additional information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operations

At March 31, 2025, our reportable segments, including the nonconsolidated JVs, owned and operated networks that passed 29,056,700 homes and served 11,512,200 fixed-line customers and 44,212,600 mobile subscribers.

Competition and Other External Factors

We are experiencing competition in all of the markets in which we or our affiliates operate. This competition, together with macroeconomic and regulatory factors, has adversely impacted our revenue, number of customers and/or average monthly subscription revenue per fixed-line customer or mobile subscriber, as applicable (ARPU). For additional information regarding the revenue impact of changes in the fixed-line customers and ARPU of our consolidated reportable segments, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments below.

We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to labor, programming and other costs. While we attempt to increase our revenue to offset increases in costs, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Therefore, costs could rise faster than associated revenue, thereby resulting in a negative impact on our operating results, cash flows and liquidity. The economic environment in the respective countries in which we operate is a function of government, economic, fiscal and monetary policies and various other factors beyond our control that could lead to inflation. We are unable to predict the extent that price levels might be impacted in future periods by the current state of the economies in the countries in which we operate.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

We have completed a number of transactions that impact the comparability of our 2025 and 2024 results of operations, the most notable of which is the Formula E Acquisition on October 2, 2024. For further information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the following discussion, we quantify the estimated impact of material acquisitions (the Acquisition Impact) and dispositions on our operating results. The Acquisition Impact represents our estimate of the difference between the operating results of the periods under comparison that is attributable to an acquisition. In general, we base our estimate of the Acquisition Impact on an acquired entity’s operating results during the first 3 to 12 months following the acquisition date, as adjusted to remove integration costs and any other material unusual or non-operational items, such that changes from those operating results in subsequent periods are considered to be organic changes. Accordingly, in the following discussion, (i) organic variances attributed to an acquired entity during the first 12 months following the acquisition date represent differences between the Acquisition Impact and the actual results and (ii) the calculation of our organic change percentages includes the organic activity of an acquired entity relative to the Acquisition Impact of such entity. With respect to material dispositions, the organic changes that are discussed below reflect adjustments to exclude the historical prior-year results of any disposed entities to the extent that such entities are not included in the corresponding results for the current-year period.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a significant impact on our reported operating results, as all of our operating segments have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our primary exposure to foreign exchange (FX) risk during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was to the euro, as substantially all of our reported revenue during the period was derived from subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the euro. In addition, our reported operating results are impacted by changes in the exchange rates for certain other local currencies in Europe. The portions of the changes in the various components of our results of operations that are attributable to changes in FX are highlighted under Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments and Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results below. For information regarding our foreign currency risks and the applicable foreign currency exchange rates in effect for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report, see Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Foreign Currency Risk below.

The amounts presented and discussed below represent 100% of each of our consolidated and nonconsolidated reportable segment’s results of operations, despite only holding a 50% noncontrolling interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV. We account for our 50% interest in both the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV as an equity method

investment and as such, our share of the operating results of the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV is included in share of results of affiliates, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The noncontrolling owners’ interests at Telenet and Formula E are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments

General

Telenet, VM Ireland, the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B communications services. For detailed information regarding the composition of our reportable segments, our “all other category” and how we define and categorize our revenue components, see note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For information regarding the results of operations of the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV, refer to Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results — Share of results of affiliates, net below.

The tables presented below in this section provide the details of the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of our reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. These tables present (i) the amounts reported for the current and comparative periods, (ii) the reported U.S. dollar change and percentage change from period to period and (iii) with respect to our consolidated reportable segments, the organic U.S. dollar change and percentage change from period to period. For our organic comparisons, which exclude the impact of FX, we assume that exchange rates remained constant at the prior-period rate during all periods presented. We also provide a table showing the Adjusted EBITDA margins of our reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 at the end of this section.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which we believe is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to readily view operating trends from a consolidated view. Investors should view consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of earnings (loss) from continuing operations to total consolidated Adjusted EBITDA:

Revenue of our Reportable Segments

General. While not specifically discussed in the below explanations of the changes in the revenue of our reportable segments, we are experiencing competition in all of our markets. This competition has an adverse impact on our ability to increase or maintain our total number of customers and/or our ARPU.

Variances in the subscription revenue that we receive from our customers are a function of (i) changes in the number of our fixed-line customers or mobile subscribers outstanding during the period and (ii) changes in ARPU. Changes in ARPU can be attributable to (a) changes in prices, (b) changes in bundling or promotional discounts, (c) changes in the tier of services selected, (d) variances in subscriber usage patterns and (e) the overall mix of fixed and mobile products within a segment during the period.

_______________

(c)Residential mobile subscription revenue includes amounts received from subscribers for ongoing services. Residential mobile non-subscription revenue includes, among other items, interconnect revenue and revenue from sales of mobile handsets and other devices. Residential mobile interconnect revenue was $8.3 million and $11.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(d)B2B subscription revenue represents revenue from (i) services provided to SOHO subscribers and (ii) mobile services provided to medium and large enterprises. SOHO subscribers pay a premium price to receive expanded service levels along with broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony or mobile services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. B2B non-subscription revenue includes (a) revenue from business broadband internet, video, fixed-line telephony and data services offered to medium and large enterprises and, fixed-line and mobile services on a wholesale basis, to other operators and (b) revenue from long-term leases of portions of our network.

Total revenue. Our consolidated revenue increased $79.9 million or 7.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This increase includes an increase of $84.2 million attributable to the impact of the Formula E Acquisition and an increase of $49.6 million attributable to the Sunrise Services provided in connection with the Spin-off. On an organic basis, our consolidated revenue decreased $14.5 million or 1.2%.

Residential revenue. The details of the decrease in our consolidated residential revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, are as follows (in millions):





Increase (decrease) in residential fixed subscription revenue due to change in:
Average number of customers	$	(10.1)
ARPU	9.7

On an organic basis, our consolidated residential mobile non-subscription revenue decreased $8.9 million or 19.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease at Telenet.

B2B revenue. On an organic basis, our consolidated B2B non-subscription revenue increased $5.3 million or 5.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily due to an increase at Telenet.

Other revenue. On an organic basis, our consolidated other revenue decreased $10.7 million or 2.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, primarily due to lower revenue earned from the sale of CPE to the VMO2 JV and the VodafoneZiggo JV.

For additional information regarding the changes in our residential, B2B and other revenue, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments above.

Programming and other direct costs of services

Programming and other direct costs of services include programming and copyright costs, interconnect and access costs, costs of mobile handsets and other devices and other direct costs related to our operations, including costs associated with our transitional service agreements and certain costs related to the development of externally marketed software. Programming and copyright costs represent a significant portion of our operating costs and are subject to rise in future periods due to various factors, including (i) higher costs associated with the expansion of our digital video content, including rights associated with ancillary product offerings and rights that provide for the broadcast of live sporting events, and (ii) rate increases.

The details of our programming and other direct costs of services are as follows:

N.M. — Not Meaningful.

Our programming and other direct costs of services increased $8.9 million or 2.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This increase includes an increase of $43.9 million attributable to the impact of the Formula E Acquisition. On an organic basis, our programming and other direct costs of services decreased $33.5 million or 7.6%. This decrease includes the following factors:

•A decrease in costs of $22.9 million related to lower sales of CPE to the VMO2 JV;

•A decrease in costs of $18.1 million related to lower sales of CPE to the VodafoneZiggo JV;

•An increase in programming and copyright costs of $13.1 million or 8.7%, primarily attributable to higher costs for certain content at Telenet;

•A decrease in interconnect and access costs of $4.4 million or 17.6%, primarily due to lower interconnect and mobile roaming costs at Telenet; and

•A decrease in mobile handset and other device costs of $3.9 million or 1.2%, primarily due to lower sales volumes at Telenet.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses include network operations, customer operations, customer care, share-based compensation and other costs related to our operations. We do not include share-based compensation in the following discussion and analysis of the other operating expenses of our consolidated reportable segments as share-based compensation expense is not included in the performance measures of our consolidated reportable segments. Share-based compensation expense is separately discussed further below.

Our other operating expenses (exclusive of share-based compensation expense) increased $2.8 million or 1.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. On an organic basis, our other operating expenses increased $3.6 million or 1.9%. This increase includes the following factors:

•An increase in personnel costs of $4.4 million or 7.6%, primarily due to higher average costs per employee at Telenet;

•An increase in service delivery platform costs of $2.3 million or 42.7%, primarily related to higher CPE software costs; and

•An increase in core network and information technology-related costs of $2.0 million or 12.8%, primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher information technology-related costs, including increases at Telenet and VM Ireland, and (ii) lower leased bandwidth costs at Telenet.

SG&A expenses

SG&A expenses include human resources, information technology, general services, management, finance, legal, external sales and marketing costs, share-based compensation and other general expenses. We do not include share-based compensation in the following discussion and analysis of the SG&A expenses of our consolidated reportable segments as share-based compensation expense is not included in the performance measures of our consolidated reportable segments.

_______________

(a)Amounts include share-based compensation expense related to certain Telenet Replacement Awards.

For additional information regarding our share-based compensation expense, see note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Our depreciation and amortization expense was $232.2 million and $222.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding the effects of FX, depreciation and amortization expense increased $16.2 million or 7.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This increase is primarily due to the net effect of (i) a decrease associated with certain assets becoming fully depreciated, primarily at Telenet, and (ii) an increase associated with property and equipment additions related to the installation of CPE, the expansion and upgrade of our networks and other capital initiatives, primarily at Telenet and VM Ireland.

Impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net

We recognized impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, of ($1.7 million) and $33.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The amount for the 2024 period includes (i) a provision for legal contingencies of $17.5 million and (ii) restructuring costs of $15.2 million.

If, among other factors, (i) our equity values were to decline or (ii) the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets. Any such impairment charges could be significant.

Interest expense

We recognized interest expense of $127.5 million and $145.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding the effects of FX, interest expense decreased $13.9 million or 9.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. This decrease is primarily attributable to a lower weighted average interest rate, partially offset by a higher average outstanding debt balance. For additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

It is possible that the interest rates on (i) any new borrowings could be higher than the current interest rates on our existing indebtedness and (ii) our variable-rate indebtedness could increase in future periods. As further discussed in note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and under Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk below, we use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risks.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net

Our realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments include (i) unrealized changes in the fair values of our derivative instruments that are non-cash in nature until such time as the derivative contracts are fully or partially settled and (ii) realized gains or losses upon the full or partial settlement of the derivative contracts. The details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows:

Other		(0.1)		—
Total		$	(164.7)	$	133.3

_______________

(a)The loss for the 2025 period is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) a net loss associated with changes in the relative value of certain currencies and (ii) a net gain associated with changes in certain market interest rates. In addition, the loss for the 2025 period includes a net gain of $4.2 million resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments. The gain for the 2024 period is attributable to net gains associated with changes in (a) the relative value of certain currencies and (b) certain market interest rates. In addition, the gain for the 2024 period includes a net loss of $3.3 million resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments.

(b)The recurring fair value measurements of our equity-related derivative instruments are based on Black-Scholes pricing models.

Net earnings (loss)		$	(165.8)	$	22.7

_______________

(1)Includes interest expense of $389.6 million and $417.9 million, in the respective periods shown.

The change in the VMO2 JV’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to the net effect of (i) a decrease in other revenue related to lower construction revenue from the nexfibre JV, (ii) an increase in residential fixed revenue due to higher ARPU and (iii) a decrease in mobile revenue due to lower handset sales, with each revenue category as defined and reported by the VMO2 JV. The change in the VMO2 JV’s Adjusted EBITDA during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to the net effect of (a) the aforementioned change in revenue, (b) cost efficiencies and (c) a decrease in the nexfibre JV construction impact to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the reported revenue and Adjusted EBITDA amounts are impacted by FX.

(b)Represents (i) our 50% share of the results of operations of the VodafoneZiggo JV and (ii) interest income of $13.3 million and $13.8 million in the respective periods shown, representing 100% of the interest earned on the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables. The summarized results of operations of the VodafoneZiggo JV are set forth below:


	Three months ended March 31,
		2025		2024
		in millions

Revenue		$	1,052.0	$	1,114.0
Adjusted EBITDA		$	463.1	$	519.0
Operating income		$	17.8	$	104.2
Non-operating expense (1)		$	(106.8)	$	(129.7)
Net loss		$	(70.5)	$	(13.6)

_______________

(1)Includes interest expense of $187.7 million and $206.4 million, in the respective periods shown.

The change in the VodafoneZiggo JV’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to the net effect of (i) a decrease in residential fixed revenue, (ii) a decrease in mobile revenue and (iii) an increase in B2B fixed revenue. The change in the VodafoneZiggo JV’s Adjusted EBITDA during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to the net effect of (a) the aforementioned change in revenue, (b) higher programming costs, (c) an increase in labor costs, (d) cost control measures in customer service, IT and procurement and (e) lower energy costs. In addition, the reported revenue and Adjusted EBITDA amounts are impacted by FX.

(c)Includes our share of results of Formula E prior to the Formula E Acquisition Date.

(d)We completed the sale of our investment in All3Media during the second quarter of 2024.

Other income, net

We recognized other income, net, of $19.4 million and $36.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts include interest and dividend income of $18.4 million and $36.3 million, respectively.

Income tax benefit (expense)

We recognized income tax benefit (expense) of $70.0 million and ($42.8 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The income tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $209.0 million (based on the Bermuda statutory income tax rate of 15.0%), primarily due to the net negative impact of (i) non-deductible or non-taxable foreign currency exchange results and (ii) certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of items associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. The net negative impact of these items was partially offset by the net positive impact of (a) statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory income tax rate and (b) a net decrease in valuation allowances.

The income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 differs from the expected income tax expense of $169.3 million (based on the U.K. statutory income tax rate of 25.0%), primarily due to the net positive impact of non-deductible or non-taxable foreign currency exchange results, partially offset by the net negative impact of certain permanent differences between the financial and tax accounting treatment of interest and other expenses.

For additional information concerning our income taxes, see note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings (loss) from continuing operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we reported earnings (loss) from continuing operations of ($1,323.3 million) and $634.5 million, respectively, consisting of (i) operating income (loss) of $60.7 million and ($12.3 million), respectively, (ii) net non-operating income (expense) of ($1,454.0 million) and $689.6 million, respectively, and (iii) income tax benefit (expense) of $70.0 million and ($42.8 million), respectively.

Gains or losses associated with (i) changes in the fair values of derivative instruments, (ii) movements in foreign currency exchange rates and (iii) the disposition of assets and changes in ownership are subject to a high degree of volatility and, as such, any gains from these sources do not represent a reliable source of income. In the absence of significant gains in the future from these sources or from other non-operating items, our ability to achieve earnings is largely dependent on our ability to increase our aggregate operating income to a level that more than offsets the aggregate amount of our (a) interest expense, (b) other non-operating expenses and (c) income tax expense.

Due largely to the fact that we seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns, as discussed under Material Changes in Financial Condition — Capitalization below, we expect we will continue to report significant levels of interest expense for the foreseeable future. For information concerning our expectations with respect to trends that may affect certain aspects of our operating results in future periods, see the discussion under Overview above. For information concerning the reasons for changes in specific line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, see Discussion and Analysis of our Reportable Segments and Discussion and Analysis of our Consolidated Operating Results above.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes

We reported loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $107.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the operations of the Sunrise Entities. For additional information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests was $14.0 million and $17.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, attributable to certain noncontrolling interests at Telenet and Formula E.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

Sources and Uses of Cash

We are a holding company that is dependent on the capital resources of our subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements at the corporate level. Each of our significant operating subsidiaries is separately financed within one of our two subsidiary “borrowing groups”. These borrowing groups include the respective restricted parent and subsidiary entities within Telenet and VM Ireland. Although our borrowing groups typically generate cash from operating activities, the terms of the instruments governing the indebtedness of these borrowing groups may restrict our ability to access the liquidity of these subsidiaries. In addition, our ability to access the liquidity of these and other subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests and other factors.

Cash, cash equivalents and SMAs

The details of the U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents and investments held under SMAs at March 31, 2025 are set forth in the following table (in millions):


Cash and cash equivalents held by:
Liberty Global and unrestricted subsidiaries:
Liberty Global (a)	$	0.5
Unrestricted subsidiaries (b)	849.3
Total Liberty Global and unrestricted subsidiaries	849.8
Borrowing groups (c):
Telenet	1,119.9
VM Ireland	12.9
Total borrowing groups	1,132.8
Total cash and cash equivalents (d)	1,982.6
Investments held under SMAs (e)	77.9
Total cash and cash equivalents and investments held under SMAs	$	2,060.5

_______________

(a)Represents the amount held by Liberty Global on a standalone basis.

(b)Represents the aggregate amount held by subsidiaries that are outside of our borrowing groups.

(c)Represents the aggregate amounts held by the parent entity and restricted subsidiaries of our borrowing groups.

(d)The total cash and cash equivalents balance includes $1,214.3 million or 61.2% and $742.0 million or 37.4% denominated in euros and U.S. dollars, respectively.

(e)The balance of our investments held under SMAs is held by unrestricted subsidiaries of Liberty Global and includes $69.7 million or 89.5% denominated in U.S. dollars.

For additional information regarding our cash and cash equivalents and investments held under SMAs, see the discussion under Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Cash and Investments below.

Liquidity of Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries

The $0.5 million of cash held by Liberty Global and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, the $849.3 million of aggregate cash and cash equivalents held by unrestricted subsidiaries, together with the $77.9 million of investments held under SMAs, represented available liquidity at the corporate level at March 31, 2025. Our remaining cash and cash equivalents of $1,132.8 million at March 31, 2025 were held by our borrowing groups, as set forth in the table above. As noted above, various factors may limit our ability to access the cash of our borrowing groups. For information regarding certain limitations imposed by our subsidiaries’ debt instruments at March 31, 2025, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our short-term sources of corporate liquidity include (i) readily available assets, such as (a) cash and cash equivalents held by Liberty Global and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, Liberty Global’s unrestricted subsidiaries, and (b) investments held under SMAs, and (ii) funds derived from other items, such as (a) interest and dividend income received on our and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, our unrestricted subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents and investments, including dividend distributions received from the VMO2 JV or the VodafoneZiggo JV, (b) cash received with respect to transitional and other services provided to various third parties and affiliates and (c) interest received with respect to the VodafoneZiggo JV Receivables.

From time to time, Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries may also receive (i) proceeds in the form of dividend distributions or loan repayments from Liberty Global’s borrowing groups or affiliates (including amounts from the VMO2 JV or the VodafoneZiggo JV) upon (a) the completion of recapitalizations, refinancings, asset sales or similar transactions by these entities or (b) the accumulation of excess cash from operations or other means, (ii) proceeds upon the disposition of investments and other assets of Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries and (iii) proceeds in connection with the incurrence of debt by Liberty Global or its unrestricted subsidiaries or the issuance of equity securities by Liberty Global, including equity securities issued to satisfy subsidiary obligations. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to Liberty Global or its unrestricted subsidiaries on favorable terms, or at all.

At March 31, 2025, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents included $1,982.1 million held by entities that are domiciled outside of Bermuda. Based on our assessment of our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries on a tax efficient basis and our expectations with respect to our corporate liquidity requirements, we do not anticipate that tax considerations will adversely impact our corporate liquidity over the next 12 months. Our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries on a tax efficient basis is a consideration in assessing the extent of our share repurchase program.

In addition, the amount of cash we receive from our subsidiaries and affiliates to satisfy U.S. dollar-denominated liquidity requirements is impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly with regard to the translation of euros and British pound sterling into U.S. dollars. In this regard, the strengthening (weakening) of the U.S. dollar against these currencies will result in decreases (increases) in the U.S. dollars received from the applicable subsidiaries and affiliates to fund the repurchase of our equity securities and other U.S. dollar-denominated liquidity requirements.

Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements include (i) corporate general and administrative expenses, (ii) interest payments on the Vodafone Collar Loan and (iii) principal payments on the Vodafone Collar Loan to the extent not settled through the delivery of the underlying shares. In addition, Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries may require cash in connection with (a) the repayment of third-party and intercompany debt, (b) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities, (c) acquisitions, (d) the repurchase of equity and debt securities, (e) other investment opportunities, (f) any funding requirements of our subsidiaries and affiliates or (g) income tax payments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of our share repurchases, including direct acquisition costs, was $38.8 million. Under our current share repurchase program, we are authorized during 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2024. For additional information regarding our share repurchase programs, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity of borrowing groups

The cash and cash equivalents of our borrowing groups are detailed in the table above. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the primary sources of liquidity of our borrowing groups are cash provided by operations and borrowing availability under their respective debt instruments. For the details of the borrowing availability of our borrowing groups at March 31, 2025, see note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned sources of liquidity may be supplemented in certain cases by contributions and/or loans from Liberty Global and its unrestricted subsidiaries.

The liquidity of our borrowing groups generally is used to fund (i) property and equipment additions, (ii) debt service requirements and (iii) income tax payments, as well as to settle certain obligations that are not included on our March 31, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet. In this regard, we have significant commitments related to (a) purchase obligations associated with CPE and certain service-related commitments, (b) programming, studio output and sports rights contracts and (c) certain operating costs associated with our networks. These obligations are expected to represent a significant liquidity requirement of our borrowing groups, a significant portion of which is due over the next 12 to 24 months. For additional information regarding our commitments, see note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, our borrowing groups may also require liquidity in connection with (i) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (ii) loans to Liberty Global or its unrestricted subsidiaries, (iii) capital distributions to Liberty Global and other equity owners or (iv) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to our borrowing groups on favorable terms, or at all.

For additional information regarding our consolidated cash flows, see the discussion under Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.

Capitalization

We seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns without assuming undue risk. In this regard, we generally seek to cause our operating subsidiaries to maintain their debt at levels that result in a consolidated debt balance (excluding the Vodafone Collar Loan and measured using subsidiary debt figures at swapped foreign currency exchange rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements) that is between four and five times our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, although the timing of our acquisitions and financing transactions and the interplay of average and spot foreign currency rates may impact this ratio. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which investors should view as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our ability to service or refinance our debt and to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in the credit agreements and indentures of our borrowing groups is dependent primarily on our ability to maintain or increase the Adjusted EBITDA of our operating subsidiaries and to achieve adequate returns on our property and equipment additions and acquisitions. In addition, our ability to obtain additional debt financing is limited by the incurrence-based leverage covenants contained in the various debt instruments of our borrowing groups. For example, if the Adjusted EBITDA of one of our borrowing groups were to decline, our ability to obtain additional debt could be limited. Under our credit facilities and senior secured notes there is no cross-default risk between subsidiary borrowing groups in the event that one or more of our borrowing groups were to experience significant declines in their Adjusted EBITDA to the extent they were no longer able to service their debt obligations. Any mandatory prepayment events or events of default that may occur would only impact the relevant borrowing group in which these events occur and do not allow for any recourse to other borrowing groups or Liberty Global Ltd. Our credit facilities and senior secured notes require that certain members of the relevant borrowing group guarantee the payment of all sums payable thereunder and such group members are required to grant first-ranking security over their shares or, in certain borrowing groups, over substantially all of their assets to secure the payment of all sums payable thereunder. At March 31, 2025, each of our borrowing groups was in compliance with its debt covenants. In addition, we do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance with respect to the debt covenants of our borrowing groups that would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months.

At March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of our consolidated debt, together with our finance lease obligations, aggregated $9.4 billion, including $1.1 billion that is classified as current on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and $3.0 billion that is not due until 2029 or thereafter. All of our consolidated debt and finance lease obligations have been borrowed or incurred by our subsidiaries at March 31, 2025.

We believe we have sufficient resources to repay or refinance the current portion of our debt and finance lease obligations and to fund our foreseeable liquidity requirements during the next 12 months. However, as our maturing debt grows in later years, we anticipate we will seek to refinance or otherwise extend our debt maturities. No assurance can be given that we will be able to complete these refinancing transactions or otherwise extend our debt maturities. In this regard, it is not possible to predict how political and economic conditions, sovereign debt concerns or any adverse regulatory developments could impact the credit and equity markets we access and, accordingly, our future liquidity and financial position. Our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms, or at all, could be adversely impacted by (i) the financial failure of any of our counterparties, which could (a) reduce amounts available under committed credit facilities and (b) adversely impact our ability to access cash deposited with any failed financial institution, and (ii) tightening of the credit markets. In addition, any weakness in the equity markets could make it less attractive to use our shares to satisfy contingent or other obligations, and sustained or increased competition, particularly in combination with adverse economic or regulatory developments, could have an unfavorable impact on our cash flows and liquidity.

For additional information concerning our debt and finance lease obligations, see notes 9 and 10, respectively, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

General. Our cash flows are subject to significant variations due to FX.

Summary. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of our continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025		2024		Change
	in millions

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	129.2	$	91.3	$	37.9
Net cash provided (used) by investing activities	52.5		(63.9)		116.4
Net cash used by financing activities	(66.2)		(240.7)		174.5
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	50.8		(24.0)		74.8
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	166.3	$	(237.3)	$	403.6

Operating Activities. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase in cash provided by our Adjusted EBITDA and related working capital items, (ii) an increase in cash provided due to lower payments for taxes, (iii) a decrease in cash provided due to lower receipts of interest and (iv) a decrease in cash provided due to lower net cash receipts related to derivative instruments. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, which investors should view as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investing Activities. The change in net cash provided (used) by investing activities is primarily attributable to an increase in cash of $134.5 million associated with higher net cash received from the sale of our investments held under SMAs.

The capital expenditures we report in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows do not include amounts that are financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements. Instead, these amounts are reflected as non-cash additions to our property and equipment when the underlying assets are delivered and as repayments of debt when the principal is repaid. In this discussion, we refer to (i) our capital expenditures as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which exclude amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements, and (ii) our total consolidated property and equipment additions, which include our capital expenditures on an accrual basis and amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements. For further details regarding our property and equipment additions, see note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. A reconciliation of our consolidated property and equipment additions to our consolidated capital expenditures, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, is set forth below:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025		2024
	in millions

Property and equipment additions	$	285.6	$	221.0
Assets acquired under capital-related vendor financing arrangements	(20.6)		(30.6)
Assets acquired under finance leases	—		(0.5)
Changes in current liabilities related to capital expenditures	(21.7)		16.2
Capital expenditures, net	$	243.3	$	206.1

The increase in our property and equipment additions during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, is primarily due to an increase in local currency expenditures of our subsidiaries primarily due to the net effect of (i) an increase in new build and upgrade projects and (ii) a decrease in expenditures to support new customer products and operational efficiency initiatives.

Financing Activities. The decrease in net cash used by financing activities is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash used of $138.4 million due to lower repurchases of Liberty Global common shares.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations, plus operating-related vendor financed expenses (which represents an increase in the period to our actual cash available as a result of extending vendor payment terms beyond normal payment terms, which are typically 90 days or less, through non-cash financing activities), less (i) cash payments in the period for capital expenditures, (ii) principal payments on operating- and capital-related amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries (which represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available as a result of paying amounts to vendors and intermediaries where we previously had extended vendor payments beyond the normal payment terms) and (iii) principal payments on finance leases (which represents a decrease in the period to our actual cash available), each as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, with each item excluding any cash provided or used by our discontinued operations. Net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations includes cash paid for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions of $0.8 million and $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We believe our presentation of adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, provides useful information to our investors because this measure can be used to gauge our ability to (i) service debt and (ii) fund new investment opportunities after consideration of all actual cash payments related to our working capital activities and expenses that are capital in nature whether paid inside normal vendor payment terms or paid later outside normal vendor payment terms (in which case we typically pay in less than 365 days). Adjusted free cash flow should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, that are not deducted to arrive at these amounts. Investors should view adjusted free cash flow as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of liquidity included in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, our adjusted free cash flow may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of adjusted free cash flow.

The following table provides the details of our adjusted free cash flow:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025		2024
	in millions

Net cash provided by operating activities of our continuing operations	$	129.2	$	91.3
Operating-related vendor financing additions (a)	71.2		97.4
Cash capital expenditures, net	(243.3)		(206.1)
Principal payments on operating-related vendor financing	(86.4)		(101.0)
Principal payments on capital-related vendor financing	(10.0)		(32.5)
Principal payments on finance leases	(1.9)		(0.9)
Adjusted free cash flow	$	(141.2)	$	(151.8)

_______________

(a)For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, operating-related vendor financing additions represent operating-related expenses financed by an intermediary that are treated as constructive operating cash outflows and constructive financing cash inflows when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our adjusted free cash flow definition, we (i) add in the constructive financing cash inflow when the intermediary settles the liability with the vendor as our actual net cash available at that time is not affected and (ii) subsequently deduct the related financing cash outflow when we actually pay the financing intermediary, reflecting the actual reduction to our cash available to service debt or fund new investment opportunities.

Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our investments in various foreign countries and ongoing investing and financing activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. As further described below, we have established policies, procedures and processes governing our management of market risks and the use of derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion that appears under Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2024 10-K. The following discussion updates selected numerical information to March 31, 2025.

Unless otherwise indicated, convenience translations into U.S. dollars are calculated as of March 31, 2025.

Cash and Investments

We invest our cash in highly liquid instruments that meet high credit quality standards. We are exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that the denominations of our cash and cash equivalent balances, revolving lines of credit and other short-term sources of liquidity do not correspond to the denominations of our and our subsidiaries’ short-term liquidity requirements. In order to mitigate this risk, we actively manage the denominations of our cash balances in light of our and our subsidiaries’ forecasted liquidity requirements. At March 31, 2025, $1,214.3 million or 61.2% and $742.0 million or 37.4% of our consolidated cash balance was denominated in euros and U.S. dollars, respectively, and $69.7 million or 89.5% of our consolidated balance of investments held under SMAs was denominated in U.S. dollars.

We are exposed to market price fluctuations related to our investment in Vodafone shares, which had an aggregate value of $1,256.2 million at March 31, 2025. Our exposure to market risk is limited for our Vodafone shares, all which are held through the Vodafone Collar. For information regarding the Vodafone Collar, Vodafone Collar Loan and our investment in Vodafone shares, see note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to our consolidated debt in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to repay or refinance such debt. For information regarding our use of derivative instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The relationships between the primary currencies of the countries in which we operate and the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency, are shown below, per one U.S. dollar:


	March 31, 2025	December 31, 2024

Spot rates:
Euro	0.9249	0.9663

British pound sterling	0.7747	0.7988


	Three months ended March 31,
		2025	2024

Average rates:
Euro		0.9501	0.9211

British pound sterling		0.7936	0.7886

Inflation and Foreign Investment Risk

Interest Rate Risks

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings by our borrowing groups. Our primary exposure to variable-rate debt is through the EURIBOR-indexed and Term SOFR-indexed debt of our borrowing groups and the variable-rate debt of certain of our other subsidiaries.

In general, we enter into derivative instruments to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Accordingly, we have entered into various derivative transactions to manage exposure to increases in interest rates. We use interest rate derivative contracts to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest rates calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. From time to time, we also use interest rate cap, floor and collar agreements and swaptions that lock in a maximum interest rate if variable rates rise, but also allow our company to benefit, to a limited extent in the case of collars, from declines in market rates. Under our current guidelines, we use various interest rate derivative instruments to mitigate interest rate risk. The final maturity dates of our various portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments might, in some instances, fall short of, or extend further than, the respective maturities of the underlying variable-rate debt. In this regard, we use judgment to determine the appropriate composition and maturity dates of our portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments, taking into account the relative costs and benefits of different maturity profiles in light of current and expected future market conditions, liquidity issues and other factors. For additional information concerning the impacts of these interest rate derivative instruments, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We use benchmark interest rates to set floating rates on our debt and derivative instruments. For USD, these reference the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or Term SOFR administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited. For EUR, these reference EURIBOR administered by the European Money Markets Institute. For GBP, these reference the Sterling Overnight Index Average administered by the Bank of England.

Weighted Average Variable Interest Rate. At March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of our variable-rate indebtedness aggregated $6.4 billion, and the weighted average interest rate (including margin) on such variable-rate indebtedness was approximately 5.6%, excluding the effects of interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, and without giving effect to any interest rate derivative contracts, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, a hypothetical 50 basis point (0.50%) increase (decrease) in our weighted average variable interest rate would increase (decrease) our annual consolidated interest expense and cash outflows by $32.0 million. As discussed above and in note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use interest rate derivative contracts to manage our exposure to increases in variable interest rates. In this regard, increases in the fair value of these contracts generally would be expected to offset most of the economic impact of increases in the variable interest rates applicable to our indebtedness to the extent and during the period that principal amounts are matched with interest rate derivative contracts.

Sensitivity Information

Information concerning the sensitivity of the fair value of certain of our more significant derivative instruments to changes in market conditions is set forth below. The potential changes in fair value set forth below do not include any amounts associated with the remeasurement of the derivative asset or liability into the applicable functional currency, or the impact of market moves on our credit and debit valuation adjustments. For additional information, see notes 6 and 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Telenet Cross-currency and Interest Rate Derivative Contracts

Holding all other factors constant, at March 31, 2025:

(i)an instantaneous increase (decrease) of 10% in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar would have decreased (increased) the aggregate fair value of the Telenet cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts by approximately €297 million ($321 million); and

(ii)an instantaneous increase in the relevant base rate of 50 basis points (0.50%) would have increased the aggregate fair value of the Telenet cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts by approximately €84 million ($91 million) and, conversely, a decrease of 50 basis points would have decreased the aggregate fair value by approximately €86 million ($93 million).

Vodafone Collar

Holding all other factors constant, at March 31, 2025, an instantaneous increase of 10% in the per share market price of Vodafone’s ordinary shares would have decreased the fair value of the Vodafone Collar by approximately €70 million ($75 million) and, conversely, a decrease of 10% would have increased the fair value by approximately €79 million ($85 million).

Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (the Executives), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Executives recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is necessarily required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and objectives. Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025 effectively provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

(a)Average price paid per share includes direct acquisition costs.

(b)Under our current share repurchase program, we are authorized during 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of our total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining number of our Class A and/or Class C common shares that we are authorized to repurchase during 2025 was 31.7 million. Based on the average of the respective closing share prices as of March 31, 2025, this would equate to additional share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 of approximately $372.2 million. However, the actual U.S. dollar amount of our share repurchases during the remainder of 2025 will be determined by the actual transaction date share prices during the year and could differ significantly from this amount. For additional information, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 5.OTHER INFORMATION

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
