On March 9, 2018, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ completed the GCI Liberty Split-Off. At the time of the GCI Liberty Split-Off, GCI Liberty was comprised of, among other things, GCI Liberty’s legacy business, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½â€™s former interest in Liberty Broadband, Charter and LendingTree, and º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½â€™s former wholly-owned subsidiary Evite. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ viewed Liberty Broadband, LendingTree and Evite as separate components and evaluated them separately for discontinued operations presentation. As º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½â€™s former interest in Charter was accounted for as a cost method investment it did not meet the definition of a component for discontinued operation presentation. The disposition of Liberty Broadband was considered significant to the overall financials. ÌýAccordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ have been prepared to reflect º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½â€™s interest in Liberty Broadband as a discontinued operation. The disposition of LendingTree and Evite as part of the GCI Liberty Split-Off does not have a major effect on º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½â€™s historical or future results. Accordingly, LendingTree and Evite are not presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. LendingTree and Evite are included in the Corporate and other segment through March 8, 2018. Ìý

Included in net earnings (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are losses of $2 million for the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2018, related to Evite.
