During the quarter, we also divested Zulily, which simplified our portfolio and improved our go forward liquidity. We finalized our insurance claims for the fire at our former

QxH
QxH revenue declined primarily due to a
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin(4) decreased primarily due to higher administrative expenses from certain costs related to Project Athens, higher benefits expense and sales deleverage and, to a lesser extent, from increased commissions due to expanded distribution. These pressures were partially offset by higher product margins, favorable fulfillment (warehouse and freight), lower obsolescence expense and lower bad debt expense. Product margins increased mainly due to higher initial margins, partially offset by unfavorable returns and lower shipping and handling revenue. Fulfillment favorability was driven by less detention and demurrage costs and reduced volume, partially offset by higher freight and labor rates and fulfillment center rent expense due to sale leaseback transactions in the prior year.
In the second quarter of 2023, QxH received a final payment of
QVC International

QVC International’s constant currency revenue declined primarily due to a
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily due to higher administrative and fulfillment expenses. Administrative costs increased due to higher wages, outside services and management incentive accruals. Fulfillment pressure was primarily attributable to higher fulfillment center rents due to sale leaseback transactions and increased labor costs. These pressures were partially offset by higher product margins and lower inventory obsolescence expense from reduced inventory levels. Product margin favorability was primarily due to increased initial margin, partially offset by lower shipping and handling revenue.
Cornerstone
Cornerstone revenue decreased, reflecting softness and competitive promotional pressure in the home sector as well as lower demand for apparel at Garnett Hill.
Operating income and adjusted OIBDA margin decreased primarily due to increased promotions and higher fulfillment, marketing and administrative costs. These pressures were partially offset by lower inbound logistic costs.

As of June 30, 2023, QVC’s consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under QVC’s senior secured notes) was greater than 3.5x and as a result QVC is restricted in its ability to make unlimited dividends or other restricted payments. Dividends made by QVC to service the principal and interest of indebtedness of its parent entities, as well as payments made by QVC to Qurate Retail under an intercompany tax sharing agreement in respect of certain tax obligations of QVC and its subsidiaries, are permitted under the bond indenture and credit agreement.
Qurate Retail is in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2023.
Qurate Retail benefits from an indemnification agreement with Liberty Broadband with respect to its LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, Liberty Broadband will be required to indemnify LI LLC for any payments made to a holder of such debentures that exercises its exchange right on or before the put/call date of October 5, 2023 in excess of the sum of the adjusted principal amount of such debentures plus certain estimated tax benefits to Qurate Retail, if any, resulting from the exchange. LI LLC would be responsible for paying the adjusted principal amount to such holder. This indemnity is supported by a negative pledge in favor of Qurate Retail on the reference shares of Class A common stock of Charter Communications, Inc. held at Liberty Broadband that underlie the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. The indemnification asset on Qurate Retail’s balance sheet is valued based on the estimated exchange feature in the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures. As of June 30, 2023, holders of the LI LLC Charter exchangeable debentures have the ability to put their debentures on October 5, 2023, and accordingly, the indemnification asset is included as a current asset. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Qurate Retail received indemnification payments of

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes a presentation of adjusted OIBDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for Qurate Retail, QVC (and certain of its subsidiaries), Zulily (through May 23, 2023) and Cornerstone together with a reconciliation to that entity or such businesses’ operating income, as determined under GAAP. Qurate Retail defines adjusted OIBDA as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and where applicable, separately identified impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition-related costs, fire related costs, net (including
Qurate Retail believes adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’s performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. Because adjusted OIBDA is used as a measure of operating performance, Qurate Retail views operating income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is not meant to replace or supersede operating income or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with the same information that Qurate Retail's management considers in assessing the results of operations and performance of its assets. Please see the attached schedules for applicable reconciliations.
In addition, this press release includes references to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, for Qurate Retail. Qurate Retail defines adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of acquisition accounting amortization (net of deferred tax benefit), mark-to-market adjustments on certain public debt and equity securities, (gain) loss on sale of fixed assets and other one-time adjustments. Qurate Retail defines adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share plus the diluted per share effects of certain adjustments, net of tax.
Qurate Retail believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are important indicators of financial performance due to the impact of purchase accounting amortization, mark-to-market adjustments and other one-time items identified in Schedule 3 below. Because adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are used as measures of overall financial performance, Qurate Retail views net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are not meant to replace or supersede net income, diluted earnings per share or any other GAAP measure, but rather to supplement such GAAP measures in order to present investors with a supplemental metric of financial performance. Please see the attached schedules for a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income (loss) and adjusted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share, in each case, calculated in accordance with GAAP for Qurate Retail (Schedule 3).
This press release also references certain financial metrics on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, for Qurate Retail. Constant currency financial metrics, as presented herein, are calculated by translating the current-year and prior-year reported amounts into comparable amounts using a single foreign exchange rate for each currency.
Qurate Retail believes constant currency financial metrics are an important indicator of financial performance, in particular for QVC, due to the translational impact of foreign currency fluctuations relating to its subsidiaries in the
SCHEDULE 1
The following table provides a reconciliation of Qurate Retail’s adjusted OIBDA to its operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
