The Company’s share price has been challenged as a result of current business trends and global economic conditions. The Company will continue to monitor QVC’s current business performance versus the current and updated long-term forecasts, among other relevant considerations, to determine if the carrying value of its assets (including Goodwill and Trademarks) are appropriate. Future outlook declines in revenue, cash flows, or other factors could result in a sustained decrease in fair value that may result in a determination that material carrying value adjustments are required.
