Detailed SWOT Analysis of Liberty Media Corporation
Strength
This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.
Weakness
1. Losses in Base Ball club subsidiary: Braves Group, one of the 3 wholly owned subsidiaries is showing losses for the past few years despite increase in revenues.The baseball club’s weak performance in last 2 years can be the reason for continuing losses. The team has lost 95 & 93 games in 2015 & 2016 respectively. However the operating expenses increased highly in 2016 (from $189m to $224m) which increased the operating losses by $38 million as compared to 2015. Braves Holdings brought its retail operations in house during the 2016 and engaged a new concessions operator for the 2016 season. These contractual changes resulted in increases in revenue, which were offset by corresponding increases in operating expenses. Increase in operating expenses was attributed to additional staff positions related to the retail operations & certain concessions expenses incurred
2. Over dependence on subscriber revenue: Liberty Media generated a revenue of $5276 million for FY 2016 out of which $5014 million is contributed by SiriusXM Group which operates on subscriber fee based revenue model. If, due to technological changes or other reason, SiriusXM starts to lose out on its subscriber base, Liberty Media will immediately run into huge losses
