On March 9, 2018, jvidÊÓƵ 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, jvidÊÓƵ’s former interest in Liberty Broadband, Charter and LendingTree, and jvidÊÓƵ’s former wholly-owned subsidiary Evite. jvidÊÓƵ viewed Liberty Broadband, LendingTree and Evite as separate components and evaluated them separately for discontinued operations presentation. As jvidÊÓƵ’s former interest in Charter was accounted for as an available for sale 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 and therefore was considered to be a strategic shift.ÌýÌýAccordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of jvidÊÓƵ have been prepared to reflect jvidÊÓƵ’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 jvidÊÓƵ’s historical or future results. Therefore, the disposition of LendingTree and Evite was not considered a strategic shift in jvidÊÓƵ’s operations. Accordingly, LendingTree and Evite are not presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of jvidÊÓƵ. LendingTree and Evite are included in the Corporate and other segment through March 8, 2018.Ìý
