(UNAUDITED)

(1)Business & Basis of Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 5, 2026.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements refer to Sirius XM Holdings Inc. as “Sirius XM Holdings,” “the Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. “SiriusXM” refers to Sirius XM Holdings’ wholly owned subsidiaries, Sirius XM Inc., Sirius XM Radio LLC and its subsidiaries other than Pandora. “Pandora” refers to SiriusXM's wholly owned subsidiary Pandora Media, LLC and its subsidiaries.

Public companies are required to disclose certain information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as significant components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance of the segment. We have determined that we have two reportable segments as our chief operating decision maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Sirius XM Holdings, assesses performance and allocates resources based on the financial results of these segments. Refer to Note 16 for information related to our segments.

We have evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date and prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that no events have occurred that would require adjustment to our unaudited consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of subsequent events that do not require adjustment to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 17.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include asset impairment, fair value measurement of non-financial instruments, depreciable lives of our satellites, share-based payment expense and income taxes.

Liberty Media Transactions

On September 9, 2024 at 4:05 p.m., New York City time, Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media” or “Former Parent”) completed its previously announced split-off (the “Split-Off”) of its former wholly owned subsidiary, Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“SplitCo”).

Following the Split-Off, on September 9, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., New York City time (the “Merger Effective Time”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SplitCo merged with and into Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (“Old Sirius”), with Old Sirius surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SplitCo (the “Merger” and together with the Split-Off, the “Transactions”). Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of common stock of Old Sirius, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than shares owned by SplitCo and its subsidiaries) was converted into one-tenth (0.1) of a share of SplitCo common stock, with cash being paid to entitled record holders of Old Sirius common stock in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of SplitCo.

At the Merger Effective Time, SplitCo was renamed “Sirius XM Holdings Inc.” and succeeded to the attributes of Old Sirius as the registrant, including Old Sirius’s Commission File Number and CIK number. Upon completion of the Transactions, Liberty Media ceased to own any shares of Sirius XM Holdings Inc.

(UNAUDITED)

On September 6, 2024, Sirius XM Radio LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company.

Business

We operate two complementary audio entertainment businesses -our “SiriusXM” business and our “Pandora and Off-platform” business.

SiriusXM

Our SiriusXM business features a wide range of content, including music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk, and news channels, podcasts and infotainment services, all available in the United States on a subscription fee basis. SiriusXM packages include live, curated, hosted and certain exclusive and on-demand programming. The SiriusXM service is distributed through SiriusXM’s two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers, retailers and SiriusXM’s website. The SiriusXM service is also available through an in-car user interface called “360L” that combines SiriusXM’s satellite and streaming services into a single, cohesive in-vehicle entertainment experience.

In addition to our audio entertainment businesses, we provide connected vehicle services to several automakers. These services are designed to enhance the safety, security and driving experience of consumers. We also offer a suite of data services that includes graphical weather and fuel prices, a traffic information service, and real-time weather services in boats and airplanes.

SiriusXM holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Canada”). Sirius XM Canada's subscribers are not included in SiriusXM’s subscriber count or subscriber-based operating metrics.

Pandora and Off-platform

Pandora offers a highly personalized audio entertainment platform allowing users to create customized stations and playlists while also enabling on-demand search and playback of songs and albums. The Pandora service leverages advanced content programming algorithms, listener data, and music attributes to predict user music preferences, play content suited to the tastes of each listener, and introduce each listener to music consistent with the consumer's preferences. Pandora is available as (1) an ad-supported radio service, (2) a radio subscription service (Pandora Plus) and (3) an on-demand subscription service (Pandora Premium).

The majority of revenue from Pandora is generated from advertising on Pandora’s ad-supported radio service which is sold under the SiriusXM Media brand. Pandora also derives subscription revenue from its Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers.

Sirius XM Holdings also sells advertising on other audio platforms and in widely distributed podcasts, which it considers to be off-platform services. Sirius XM Holdings has an arrangement with SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”) to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries and offer advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. It also has arrangements to serve as the ad sales representative for certain podcasts. In addition, through AdsWizz Inc., Sirius XM Holdings provides a comprehensive digital audio and programmatic advertising technology platform, which connects audio publishers and advertisers with a variety of ad insertion, campaign trafficking, yield optimization, programmatic buying, marketplace and podcast monetization solutions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. Public business entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively and may elect to apply it retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions rather than as debt extinguishments. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. This update does not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

(2)Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted net income per common share adjusts the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock units and convertible debt) were exercised or converted into common stock, calculated using the treasury stock method. We had no participating securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Common stock equivalents of 25 and 31 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, common stock equivalents of 18 from the assumed conversion of our Convertible Notes due 2028 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(3)Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Due

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts or otherwise stated)

(UNAUDITED)

to the variable rate nature of the Credit Facility (including the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan), each as defined in Note 11, we believe that the carrying amount approximated fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy for input into valuation techniques as follows:

i.Level 1 input: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instrument;

ii.Level 2 input: observable market data for the same or similar instrument but not Level 1, including quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

iii.Level 3 input: unobservable inputs developed using management's assumptions about the inputs used for pricing the asset or liability.

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value were as follows:


	March 31, 2026								December 31, 2025
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Fair Value
Cash equivalents	$	1	$	—	$	—	$	1	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Financial instruments(a)	$	50	$	—	$	—	$	50	$	56	$	—	$	—	$	56
Debt (b)	$	—	$	597	$	—	$	597	$	—	$	579	$	—	$	579

(a)Level 1 financial instrument assets are comprised of our deferred compensation plan assets. Refer to Note 13 for additional discussion.

(b)The fair values of the Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 11) are based on quoted market prices but are not considered to be traded on “active markets,” as defined by GAAP. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion related to our debt.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Financial Instruments, net

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, net, are comprised of changes in the fair value of the following and are included in Other income, net, on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026		2025

Debt measured at fair value (a)		(21)		(3)


Total		$	(21)	$	(3)

(a)We elected to account for the Convertible Notes using the fair value option. The Convertible Notes are the obligations of Sirius XM Holdings. SiriusXM is not an obligor or guarantor of the Convertible Notes. Changes in the fair value of the Convertible Notes recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations are primarily due to market factors primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the underlying shares into which the debt is convertible. We isolate the portion of the unrealized gain (loss) attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk and recognize such amount in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The change in the fair value of the Convertible Notes attributable to changes in the instrument specific credit risk was a gain of $2 and a gain of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cumulative change in fair value since issuance was a loss of $17 as of March 31, 2026, net of the recognition of previously unrecognized gains and losses.

(4)Impairment, Restructuring and Other Costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, impairment, restructuring and other costs were $6 which primarily consisted of $4 associated with restructuring charges and $2 associated with severance and other employee costs. The restructuring and related impairment charges were recorded to Impairment, restructuring and other costs in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, impairment, restructuring and other costs were $48 which consisted of a charge of $20 associated with severance and other employee costs, other restructuring related costs of $15 and impairments related to terminated software projects of $13.

(5)Receivables, net

Receivables, net, includes customer accounts receivable, receivables from distributors and other receivables. No single customer accounts for more than ten percent of our total receivables.

Customer accounts receivable, net, includes receivables from our subscribers and advertising customers, including advertising agencies and other customers, and is stated at amounts due, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon our assessment of various factors. We consider historical experience, the age of the receivable balances, current economic conditions, industry experience and other factors that may affect the counterparty’s ability to pay. Bad debt expense is included in Customer service and billing expense in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Receivables from distributors primarily include billed and unbilled amounts due from automakers for services included in the sale or lease price of vehicles, as well as billed amounts due from wholesale distributors of our satellite radios. Other receivables primarily include amounts due from manufacturers of our radios, modules and chipsets where we are entitled to subsidies and royalties based on the number of units produced. We have not established an allowance for doubtful accounts for our receivables from distributors or other receivables as we have historically not experienced any significant collection issues with automakers or other third parties and do not expect issues in the foreseeable future.

Receivables, net, consists of the following:


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Gross customer accounts receivable	$	604	$	679
Allowance for doubtful accounts	(8)		(8)

Other receivables	27		44
Total receivables, net	$	673	$	761

(6)Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Our annual impairment assessment of our two reporting units is performed as of the fourth quarter of each year, and an assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, states that an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

As of March 31, 2026, there were no indicators of impairment, and no impairment losses were recorded for goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the cumulative balance of goodwill impairments recorded was $3,775, of which $2,819 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 and is included in the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to our SiriusXM reporting unit and $956 of which was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 and is included in the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to our Pandora and Off-platform reporting unit.

As of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of goodwill for our SiriusXM and Pandora and Off-platform reporting units was $11,431 and $959, respectively.

Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

We have identified our Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses and XM and Pandora trademarks as indefinite life intangible assets after considering the expected use of the assets, the regulatory and economic environment within which they are used and the effects of obsolescence on their use.

We hold FCC licenses to use 35 MHz of contiguous spectrum to operate our satellite digital audio radio service, provide ancillary services and services in the adjacent bands. Each of the FCC licenses authorizes us to use radio spectrum, a reusable resource that does not deplete or exhaust over time. These FCC licenses allow us the use of 25 MHz for our Sirius and XM satellite networks (12.5 MHz for the Sirius network at 2320-2332.5 MHz and 12.5 MHz for the XM network at 2332.5-2345 MHz). In 2024, we acquired the licenses in the Wireless Communications Service (“WCS”) C and D Blocks. This WCS spectrum consists of 5 MHz of unpaired blocks each, with “C block” located at 2315-2320 MHz and “D block” located at 2345-2350 MHz.

Our annual impairment assessment of our identifiable indefinite lived intangible assets is performed as of the fourth quarter of each year. An assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. As of March 31, 2026, there were no indicators of impairment, and no impairment loss was recognized for intangible assets with indefinite lives during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Definite Life Intangible Assets

Amortization expense for all definite life intangible assets was $31 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. There were no retirements or impairments of definite lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Other	81		78
Construction in progress	$	691	$	565

Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $120 and $113 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During March 2026, in connection with our decision to accelerate the retirement of our Sirius FM-6 satellite and the FCC grant of special temporary authority to support relocation and decommissioning-related activities for FM-6, we revised the remaining useful life of Sirius FM-6 from November 2028 to December 2026. This change was accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and resulted in an increase to depreciation expense of $3 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. No property and equipment was retired during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $13 primarily related to terminated software projects which were recorded to the Impairment, restructuring and other costs in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 4 for more information.

We capitalize a portion of the interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction and launch of our satellites. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset’s cost and depreciated over the satellite’s useful life. Capitalized interest costs were $5 and $7 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which related to the construction of our SXM-10, SXM-11 and SXM-12 satellites. We also capitalize a portion of share-based compensation related to employee time for capitalized software projects. Capitalized share-based compensation costs were $9 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Satellites

As of March 31, 2026, we operated a fleet of six satellites, two of which are in-orbit spare satellites. Each satellite requires an FCC license, and prior to the expiration of each license, we are required to apply for a renewal of the FCC satellite license. The renewal and extension of our licenses is reasonably certain at minimal cost, which is expensed as incurred. The chart below provides certain information on our satellites as of March 31, 2026:


Satellite Description	Year Delivered	Estimated End of Depreciable Life	FCC License Expiration Year

SIRIUS FM-5	2009	2024	2030
SIRIUS FM-6	2013	2026(1)	2030


XM-5	2010	2025	2026
SXM-8	2021	2036	2029
SXM-9	2025	2040	2033
SXM-10	2025	2040	2033

(1)The useful life of Sirius FM-6 was changed from November 2028 to December 2026, and was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

Our SXM-11 and SXM-12 satellites, which are currently under construction, are expected to replace our XM-5 and Sirius FM-5 satellites.

(9)Leases

We have operating and finance leases for offices, terrestrial repeaters, data centers and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 17 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within one year. We elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component. Additionally, we elected the practical expedient to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which are those leases with a term of twelve months or less at the lease commencement date.

The components of lease expense were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026		2025
Operating lease cost		$	14	$	14
Finance lease cost		2		2
Sublease income		(1)		(1)
Total lease cost		$	15	$	15

(10)Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions with our equity method investments (tax equity investments, Sirius XM Canada and SoundCloud) which are considered related party transactions.

Tax Equity Investments

We made tax-efficient investments of $53 and $49 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in clean energy technology projects. Effective January 1, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-02 using the modified retrospective approach and now account for these investments under the proportional amortization method. As of March 31, 2026, the unamortized investment balance of these investments totaled $738 and was reported within Equity method investments in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Under the proportional amortization method, the investment balance is amortized over the term of the investments in proportion to the current period income tax benefits relative to the total expected income tax benefits. Additionally, we recorded liabilities of $604 related to future contractual and contingent payments which we determined to be probable. Of this amount, $120 is presented in Related party current liabilities with the remaining balance included in Other long-term liabilities in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Sirius XM Canada

SiriusXM holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada, a privately held corporation. We own 591 shares of preferred stock of Sirius XM Canada, which has a liquidation preference of one Canadian dollar per share.

Sirius XM Canada is accounted for as an equity method investment, and its results are not consolidated in our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Sirius XM Canada does not meet the requirements for consolidation as we do not have the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact Sirius XM Canada's economic performance.

SiriusXM and Sirius XM Canada are parties to an amended and restated services and distribution agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the fee payable by Sirius XM Canada to SiriusXM was modified from a fixed percentage of revenue to a variable fee, based on a target operating profit for Sirius XM Canada. This variable fee is expected to be evaluated annually based on comparable companies. In accordance with the amended and restated services and distribution agreement, the fee is payable on a monthly basis, in arrears.

Our Equity method investments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included the carrying value of our investment balance in Sirius XM Canada of $102 and $100, respectively, and, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, also included $7 and $8, respectively, for the long-term value of the outstanding loan to Sirius XM Canada.

We recorded revenue from Sirius XM Canada as Other revenue in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations of $26 and $22 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

SoundCloud

In February 2020, we completed a $75 investment in Series G Membership Units of SoundCloud. The Series G Units are convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of ordinary membership units of SoundCloud at a ratio of one ordinary membership unit for each Series G Unit. The investment in SoundCloud is accounted for as an equity method investment as we do not have the ability to direct the most significant activities that impact SoundCloud's economic performance.

Our investment in SoundCloud is recorded in Equity method investments in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Sirius XM has appointed two individuals to serve on SoundCloud's ten-member board of managers.

In addition to our investment in SoundCloud, Pandora has an agreement with SoundCloud to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries. Through this arrangement, Pandora offers advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. We recorded revenue share expense related to this agreement of $11 and $13 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We also had related party liabilities of $15 and $12 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to this agreement.

funds in U.S. treasuries to pay the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest to the maturity date with respect to the 2026 Notes that remained outstanding after the Tender Offer, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. Upon completion of the Satisfaction and Discharge, the 2026 Notes and the related note guarantees and indenture governing the 2026 Notes and the obligations of Sirius XM Radio LLC and the guarantors were discharged and ceased to have further effect (except for the provisions of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes that such indenture expressly provides survives). The aggregate repurchase price for the 2026 Notes purchased in the Tender Offer and the amount necessary to complete the Satisfaction and Discharge was $997, which included the principal amount of $1,000, a discount of $3 and accrued interest of $1. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $2 on the extinguishment, including the discount mentioned above, related fees and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount, included within Other expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

(f)On March 29, 2026 (with payment made on March 30, 2026 due to the redemption date being a non-business day), Sirius XM Radio LLC redeemed $250 in outstanding principal amount of the 5.00% Senior Notes due 2027 for an aggregate purchase price, including interest, of $252. Sirius XM Radio LLC used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2032 Notes offering, together with cash on hand, to complete such redemption. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of less than $1, consisting primarily of unamortized discount and deferred financing fees, included within Other expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

On March 10, 2023, Liberty Media issued $575 aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% convertible notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”). In connection with the Transactions, we assumed all of the obligations of Liberty Media under the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum and mature on March 15, 2028. As of March 31, 2026, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was 31.9200 shares (not in millions) of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount (not in millions) of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $31.33 per share of our common stock (not in millions).

Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is equal to or more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter; (ii) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period (the “Measurement Period”), in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of that Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; (iii) if the Company calls the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Convertible Notes Indenture. In addition, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time on or after December 15, 2027 and ending on the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date for the Convertible Notes, without regard to the foregoing circumstances. Upon a conversion of the Convertible Notes, we may elect to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We elected to account for the Convertible Notes using the fair value option. See Note 3 for information related to unrealized gains (losses) on debt measured at fair value.

Sirius XM Radio LLC notes and loans:

The Credit Facility

On August 20, 2025, Sirius XM Radio LLC entered into an amendment to, among other things, increase the Credit Facility to $2,000 and extend its maturity to August 31, 2030. Sirius XM Radio LLC’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of its material domestic subsidiaries, including Pandora and its subsidiaries, and by Sirius XM Inc. and are secured by a lien on substantially all of Sirius XM Radio LLC’s assets and the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable rate determined by Sirius XM Radio LLC’s debt to operating cash flow ratio, and we pay a variable commitment fee on unused commitments of 0.25% per

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts or otherwise stated)

(UNAUDITED)

annum as of March 31, 2026. The amendment also adds a springing maturity feature which will automatically accelerate the maturity date of the Credit Facility to a date 91 days prior to the stated maturity of certain of Sirius XM Radio LLC’s long-term debt instruments, including Sirius XM Radio LLC’s 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 Senior Notes and the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan, if at such date Sirius XM Radio LLC does not have sufficient liquidity to repay the maturing obligations. Liquidity for this test is defined as the sum of (i) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and (ii) available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

On January 26, 2024, Sirius XM Radio LLC entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things, incorporate a $1,100 Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan. Interest on the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan is based on SOFR plus an applicable rate. On September 3, 2024, Sirius XM Radio LLC entered into a technical amendment to the Credit Facility to add a parent guarantee from Sirius XM Inc. to the Credit Facility in connection with the conversion of Sirius XM Radio Inc. into a Delaware limited liability company.

As of March 31, 2026, $70 was outstanding under the Credit Facility and $386 was outstanding under the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan, of which $55 was recorded as current debt and the remainder was recorded in Long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets.

Covenants and Restrictions

Under the Credit Facility, Sirius XM Radio LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, must comply with a debt maintenance covenant that it cannot exceed a total leverage ratio, calculated as consolidated total debt to consolidated operating cash flow, of 5.0 to 1.0. The Credit Facility generally requires compliance with certain covenants that restrict Sirius XM Radio LLC’s ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, (iv) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) merge or consolidate with another person, (vi) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Sirius XM Radio LLC’s assets and (vii) make voluntary prepayments of certain debt, in each case subject to exceptions.

The indentures governing Sirius XM Radio LLC’s notes restrict Sirius XM Radio LLC’s non-guarantor subsidiaries' ability to create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness without such non-guarantor subsidiary guaranteeing each such series of notes on a pari passu basis. The indentures governing the notes also contain covenants that, among other things, limit Sirius XM Radio LLC’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to create certain liens; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; and merge or consolidate or transfer, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of SiriusXM's assets.

Stock Repurchase Program

On September 9, 2024, our board of directors approved for repurchase an aggregate of $1,166 of our common stock. The board of directors did not establish an end date for this stock repurchase program. Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, including in accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or otherwise. We intend to fund any stock repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future borrowings. The size and timing of any purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

As of March 31, 2026, our cumulative repurchases since the closing of the Transactions under our stock repurchase program totaled 8 shares for $164, of which 1 shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 for $21 and $1,003 remained available for additional repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program authorization.

SplitCo Awards

Liberty Media granted, to certain of its directors and employees, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options to purchase shares of SplitCo common stock (collectively, "SplitCo Awards"). SplitCo measured the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity classified SplitCo Award based on the grant-date fair value (“GDFV”) of the SplitCo Award and recognized that cost over the period during which the employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting period of the SplitCo Award). SplitCo measured the cost of employee services received in exchange for a liability classified SplitCo Award based on the current fair value of the SplitCo Award and remeasures the fair value of the SplitCo Award at each reporting date.

At the time of the Split-Off, outstanding stock options to purchase shares of SplitCo common stock were accelerated and became fully vested and exchanged into stock options to purchase shares of our common stock adjusted based on the exchange ratio identified in the Liberty Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the “SplitCo Award Exchange Ratio”). The RSAs and RSUs with respect to shares of SplitCo common stock accelerated, became fully vested, and are treated as outstanding shares of our common stock and as such were exchanged into shares of our common stock based on the SplitCo Award Exchange Ratio. Following the Split-Off, a portion of the outstanding stock options to purchase shares of our common stock are to be settled in cash as the underlying shares were not registered, and therefore these awards were classified as liability awards and will be remeasured at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2026, we recognized a liability of less than $1 related to these awards which is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Sirius XM Holdings Awards

2024 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan

In connection with the Transactions, Liberty Media, as the sole stockholder of SplitCo, approved the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. 2024 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). Employees, consultants and non-employee members of Sirius XM Holdings’ board of directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), RSAs, RSUs and other stock-based awards that the compensation committee of our board of directors deems appropriate. Stock-based awards granted under the 2024 Plan are generally subject to a graded vesting requirement. Stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. RSUs include performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”), the vesting of which are subject to the achievement of performance goals and the employee’s continued employment. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. As of March 31, 2026, 16 shares of our common stock were available for future grants under the 2024 Plan.

Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan

In connection with the Transactions, Liberty Media, as the sole stockholder of SplitCo, approved the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan (the “Transitional Plan”). Current and former employees and consultants of Liberty Media and certain Qualifying Subsidiaries (as such term is defined in the Transitional Plan) or a member of the board of directors of Liberty Media or a Qualifying Subsidiary and in each case, who, as of September 9, 2024, (a) held an outstanding option of any series of Liberty Media’s Liberty SiriusXM common stock (a “Liberty Media SiriusXM Option Award”) pursuant to a Liberty Media Incentive Plan (as such term is defined in the Transitional Plan) and (b) received an option under the

Transitional Plan in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement were eligible to receive awards under the Transitional Plan. As of March 31, 2026, 3 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance in connection with outstanding stock based awards in connection with the Transitional Plan.

Other Plans

We maintain three share-based benefit plans in addition to the 2024 Plan and the Transitional Plan — the Sirius XM Holdings Inc. 2015 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan of AdsWizz Inc. and the Pandora Media, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. Excluding dividend equivalent units granted as a result of a declared dividend, no further awards may be made under these plans.

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under our share-based plans for the three months ended March 31, 2026:


	Options	WAEP		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value








Outstanding as of January 1, 2026	15	$	50.10
Granted	—	$	—
Exercised	—	$	—
Forfeited, cancelled or expired	(1)	$	47.83

Exercisable as of March 31, 2026	13	$	51.55	2.92	$	—

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was less than $1. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the number of net settled shares issued as a result of stock option exercises was less than 1. There was less than 1 options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The following table summarizes the RSU, including PRSU, activity under our share-based plans for the three months ended March 31, 2026:


	Shares	GDFV Per Share








Nonvested as of January 1, 2026	16	$	30.74
Granted	10	$	21.38
Vested	(3)	$	29.84
Forfeited	(1)	$	26.73
Nonvested as of March 31, 2026	22	$	26.41

The total intrinsic value of RSUs, including PRSUs, vesting during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $70 and $24, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the number of net settled shares issued as a result of RSUs vesting totaled 2 and 1, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we granted less than 1 PRSUs to certain employees. We believe it is probable that the performance target applicable to these PRSUs will be achieved.

In connection with the cash dividends paid during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we granted less than 1 RSUs, including PRSUs, in accordance with the terms of existing award agreements. These grants did not result in any additional incremental share-based payment expense being recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested share-based payment awards for our stock options and RSUs, including PRSUs, granted to employees, members of our board of directors and third parties at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $503 and $355, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation costs at March 31, 2026 are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

401(k) Savings Plans

We sponsor the Sirius XM Radio 401(k) Savings Plan (the “SiriusXM Plan”) for eligible employees. The SiriusXM Plan allows eligible employees to voluntarily contribute from 1% to 50% of their pre-tax eligible earnings, subject to certain defined limits. We match 50% of an employee’s voluntary contributions per pay period on the first 6% of an employee’s pre-tax salary up to a maximum of 3% of eligible compensation. We may also make additional discretionary matching, true-up matching and non-elective contributions to the SiriusXM Plan. Employer matching contributions under the SiriusXM Plan vest at a rate of 33.33% for each year of employment and are fully vested after three years of employment for all current and future contributions. Our cash employer matching contributions are not used to purchase shares of our common stock on the open market, unless the employee elects our common stock as their investment option for this contribution.

We recognized expenses of $5 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in connection with the SiriusXM Plan.

Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan

The Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) allows members of our board of directors and certain eligible employees to defer all or a portion of their base salary, cash incentive compensation and/or board of directors’ cash compensation, as applicable. Pursuant to the terms of the DCP, we may elect to make additional contributions beyond amounts deferred by participants, but we are under no obligation to do so. We have established a grantor (or “rabbi”) trust to facilitate the payment of our obligations under the DCP.

Contributions to the DCP, net of withdrawals, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were $(5) and $(3), respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the investments held in the trust were $50 and $56, respectively, which is included in Other long-term assets in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets and classified as trading securities. Trading gains and losses associated with these investments are recorded in Other (expense) income within our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The associated liability is recorded within Other long-term liabilities in our unaudited consolidated balance sheets, and any increase or decrease in the liability is recorded in General and administrative expense within our unaudited consolidated statements of operations. We recorded losses on investments held in the trust of $2 during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

(UNAUDITED)

Satellite and transmission. We have entered into agreements for the design, construction, launch and insurance of two additional satellites: SXM-11 and SXM-12. We have procured insurance for SXM-10, SXM-11 and SXM-12 to cover the risks associated with each satellite's launch and first year of in-orbit operation. We also have entered into agreements with third parties to operate and maintain satellite telemetry, tracking and control facilities and certain components of our terrestrial repeater networks.

Programming and content. We have entered into various programming and content agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, our obligations include fixed payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements. In certain of these agreements, the future revenue sharing costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to estimate; therefore, they are not included in our minimum contractual cash commitments.

Sales and marketing. We have entered into various marketing, sponsorship and distribution agreements to promote our brands and are obligated to make payments to sponsors, retailers, automakers, radio manufacturers and other third parties under these agreements. Certain programming and content agreements also require us to purchase advertising on properties owned or controlled by the licensors.

Satellite incentive payments. Lanteris Space Systems (formerly Maxar Space), the manufacturer of certain of our in-orbit satellites, may be entitled to future in-orbit performance payments upon XM-5, SIRIUS FM-6, SXM-8, SXM-9 and SXM-10 meeting their fifteen-year design life, which we expect to occur.

Operating lease obligations. We have entered into both cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases for office space, terrestrial repeaters, data centers and equipment. These leases provide for minimum lease payments, additional operating expense charges, leasehold improvements and rent escalations that have initial terms ranging from one to fifteen years, and certain leases have options to renew.

Royalties, Minimum Guarantees and Other. We have entered into music royalty arrangements that include fixed payments. In addition, certain of our podcast agreements also contain minimum guarantees. As of March 31, 2026, we had future fixed commitments related to music royalty and podcast agreements of $544, of which $247 will be paid in 2026 and the remainder will be paid thereafter. On a quarterly basis, we record the greater of the cumulative actual content costs incurred or the cumulative minimum guarantee based on forecasts for the minimum guarantee period. The minimum guarantee period is the period of time that the minimum guarantee relates to, as specified in each agreement, which may be annual or a longer period. The cumulative minimum guarantee, based on forecasts, considers factors such as listening hours, downloads, revenue, subscribers and other terms of each agreement that impact our expected attainment or recoupment of the minimum guarantees based on the relative attribution method.

We have entered into certain tax equity investments in which we expect to make future contributions. These future contributions are expected to be made over the remaining respective terms of the investments and totaled $604 as of March 31, 2026, of which $68 is expected to be paid in 2026 and the remainder thereafter.

Several of our royalty agreements also include provisions related to the royalty payments and structures of those agreements relative to other licensing arrangements, which, if triggered, cause our payments under those agreements to escalate. In addition, record labels, publishers and performing rights organizations with whom we have entered into direct license agreements have the right to audit our content payments, and such audits often result in disputes over whether we have paid the proper content costs.

We have also entered into various agreements with third parties for general operating purposes.

In addition to the minimum contractual cash commitments described above, we have entered into other variable cost arrangements. These future costs are dependent upon many factors and are difficult to anticipate; however, these costs may be substantial. We may enter into additional programming, distribution, marketing and other agreements that contain similar variable cost provisions. We do not have any other significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant or party to various claims and lawsuits, including those discussed below.

We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. We may be unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others, because: (i) the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) the proceedings are in the relative early stages; (iii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) there remain significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) the relevant law is unsettled; or (vii) the proceedings involve novel or untested legal theories. In such instances, there may be considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the likelihood or magnitude of a possible eventual loss, if any.

New York State v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. On December 20, 2023, the People of the State of New York, by Letitia James, Attorney General of the State of New York (the “NY AG”), filed a petition (the “Petition”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (the “New York Court”), against Sirius XM. The Petition alleged various violations of New York law and the federal Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (“ROSCA”) arising out of Sirius XM's subscription cancellation practices. In general, the Petition alleged that Sirius XM requires consumers to devote an excessive amount of time to cancel subscriptions and has not implemented cancellation processes that are simple and efficient.

The Petition claimed to be brought under certain provisions of New York law that authorize the NY AG to initiate special proceedings seeking injunctive and other equitable relief in cases of persistent business fraud or illegality. The Petition sought: a permanent injunction against violating provisions of New York law and ROSCA arising out of the alleged deceptive practices associated with Sirius XM's subscription cancellation procedures; an accounting of each consumer who cancelled, or sought to cancel, a satellite radio subscription, including the duration of the cancel interaction and the funds collected from such consumers after that interaction; monetary restitution and damages to aggrieved consumers; disgorgement of all profits resulting from the alleged improper acts; civil penalties and the NY AG’s costs. Sirius XM filed an Answer to the Petition and cross moved for summary judgment with respect to various claims asserted in the Petition.

In November 2024, the New York Court granted Sirius XM summary judgment on all but one of the NY AG's claims. The New York Court did find that Sirius XM's cancellation practices violated the “simple mechanism requirement” for subscription cancellations contained in ROSCA. As a result of the New York Court's findings, Sirius XM now permits New York residents who purchase a subscription online to also cancel that subscription online, a cancellation mechanism that we believe is at least as easy to use as the method the consumer used to initiate the subscription. The NY AG appealed the four counts with respect to the Petition for which the New York Court granted Sirius XM summary judgment. Sirius XM appealed the one count in the Petition, the violation of ROSCA, with respect to which the New York Court granted the State of New York summary judgment. On November 6, 2025, the Appellate Division affirmed the New York Court’s Order on all counts. On January 23, 2026, the NY AG sought leave to appeal the Appellate Division’s affirmance, which Sirius XM opposed. The NY AG has also moved the New York Court for an injunction and accounting with respect to the ROSCA claim, which the court granted on April 1, 2026.

Sirius XM believes it has substantial defenses to the action and intends to defend this action vigorously.

U.S. Music Royalty Fee Actions and Mass Arbitrations. Commencing in 2023, a number of putative class actions and mass arbitration demands have been commenced against Sirius XM relating to its pricing, billing and subscription marketing practices. Although each class action and mass arbitration demand contains unique allegations, in general, the actions and arbitrations alleged that Sirius XM falsely advertised its music subscription plans at lower prices than it actually charges, that it allegedly did not disclose its “U.S. Music Royalty Fee”, and that Sirius XM has taken other actions to prevent customers from discovering the existence, amount and nature of the U.S. Music Royalty Fee in violation of various state consumer protection laws. Several of these claimants also asserted additional causes of action under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act.

Over half of the approximately 70,000 purported mass arbitration claims have been withdrawn by counsel or closed by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). On January 13, 2026, Sirius XM entered into a settlement that when effectuated would resolve most of the remaining mass arbitration claims and the previously disclosed Carovillano, Burns,

Kirkpatrick, Balmores and Woods lawsuits. The settlement will not have a material adverse effect on Sirius XM’s business, financial condition, results operations or cash flows. The sole remaining related putative class action, Stutsman, et al. v. Sirius XM Radio LLC, is pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. Sirius XM believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted in Stutsman and intends to defend itself vigorously.

California Unruh Civil Rights Act Mass Arbitration. A series of mass pre-arbitration notices have been filed purportedly on behalf of approximately 41,000 claimants alleging that Pandora used age, sex and gender information from claimants to target advertising in violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civ. Code §§ 51–52. A petition was filed purportedly on behalf of approximately 26,000 petitioners for an Order Compelling Arbitration in Los Angeles Superior Court against Pandora on January 17, 2025, and an amended petition was filed on February 14, 2025. On June 18, 2025, the Court denied the petition in part with respect to 2,216 petitioners and granted the petition in part and entered an order compelling arbitration with respect to the remaining petitioners. Following that order, 23,821 of the petitioners filed demands for arbitration with the AAA on July 4, 2025, and the AAA opened a mass arbitration. On December 15, 2025 claimants’ counsel sought to add 2,562 claimants with identical claims to the AAA mass arbitration. On January 28, 2026, a Process Arbitrator in the mass arbitration issued an order dismissing all of the pending claims, and on February 10, 2026, the AAA closed this matter.

Do-Not-Call Litigation. In July 2025, following a mediation, Sirius XM entered into an agreement settling a putative class action lawsuit filed on November 29, 2022 in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois alleging that Sirius XM violated the “Do-Not-Call” provisions of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and several similar state statutes, by calling consumers whose residential numbers were on applicable national or state do-not-call registries and/or whose residential numbers were on Sirius XM’s internal do-not-call list. The settlement will resolve the claims of consumers for the period April 27, 2019 through October 31, 2025. As part of the settlement, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, Sirius XM paid $28 million into a non-reversionary settlement fund from which cash to class members, notice, administrative costs, and attorney's fees and costs will be paid. The settlement was recorded to the General and administrative line in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The settlement memorializes changes relating to Sirius XM’s “Do-Not-Call” practices. Settlement of this matter is subject to, among other things, final approval by the Court.

Mechanical Licensing Collective v. Pandora Media, LLC. On February 12, 2024, the Mechanical Licensing Collective (“MLC”) sued Pandora in the Middle District of Tennessee for alleged underpayment of royalties on Pandora’s free radio service. The MLC contends that various Pandora offerings along with certain other ancillary features convert Pandora’s entire free radio service into an interactive service that is subject to a higher statutory rate, which would require Pandora to have paid and continue to pay significantly higher royalties. The parties recently completed summary judgment briefing. If neither side prevails on summary judgment, the case is set for trial on June 30, 2026.

Other Matters. In the ordinary course of business, Sirius XM Holdings, Sirius XM and its subsidiaries, such as Pandora, are defendants in various other lawsuits, mass arbitration and individual arbitration proceedings, including derivative actions; actions filed by subscribers, both on behalf of themselves and on a class action basis; former employees; parties to contracts or leases and owners of purported patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property. None of these other matters, in our opinion, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

(15)Income Taxes

In connection with the Transactions, we entered into a new Tax Sharing Agreement with Liberty Media. The Tax Sharing Agreement generally allocates taxes, tax benefits, tax items and tax-related losses between Liberty Media and us in a manner consistent with the tax sharing policies of Liberty Media in effect prior to the Split-Off, with taxes, tax benefits and tax items attributable to the assets, liabilities and activities attributed to the Liberty Formula One Group and the Liberty Live Group being allocated to Liberty Media, and taxes, tax benefits and tax items attributable to the assets, liabilities and activities attributed to the Liberty SiriusXM Group being allocated to us. In addition, the Tax Sharing Agreement includes additional provisions related to the manner in which any taxes or tax-related losses arising from the Split-Off will be allocated between the parties and provides restrictive covenants intended to preserve the generally tax-free treatment of the Transactions. The failure by a party to comply with its restrictive covenants may change the general allocation of taxes, tax benefits and tax items between the parties related to the Transactions. The parties have agreed to indemnify each other for taxes and losses allocated to them under the Tax Sharing Agreement and for taxes and losses arising from a breach by them of their respective covenants and obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement. The Tax Sharing Agreement also includes provisions addressing the filing of tax returns, control of tax audits, cooperation on tax matters, retention of tax records, indemnification and other tax matters.

Income tax expense was $81 and $65 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 24.8% and 24.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were primarily driven by federal and state income tax expense and tax losses related to share-based compensation, partially offset by certain tax credits. We estimate our effective tax rate expense for the year ending December 31, 2026 will be approximately 22%.

We recognized net tax benefits of $8 and $3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to our tax equity investments. These recognized net tax benefits were recorded to Income tax expense in our unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The net tax benefits included tax credits and other income tax benefits of $48 and $37 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which were partially offset by amortization expense of $40 and $34 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

As of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets of $87 that were not likely to be realized due to the timing of certain federal and state net operating loss limitations.

(16)Segments and Geographic Information

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, we disaggregate our operations into two reportable segments: SiriusXM and Pandora and Off-platform. The financial results of these segments are utilized by the chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. We report our segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments. For additional information on our segments refer to Note 1.

Segment results include the revenues and cost of services which are directly attributable to each segment. There are no indirect revenues or costs incurred that are allocated to the segments. There are planned intersegment advertising campaigns which will be eliminated. We had $1 of intersegment revenue during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. All amounts referenced in this section are in millions, except subscriber amounts are in thousands and per subscriber and per installation amounts are in ones, unless otherwise stated.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For example, these forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements about our outlook and our future results of operations and financial condition; share repurchase plans; the impact of economic and market conditions; and the impact of recent acquisitions. Any statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions, future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection” and “outlook” or the negative version of these words or phrases or other comparable words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those identified below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in, or suggested by, such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. There may also be other risks that we are unable to predict at this time that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise or to assess with any precision the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Among the significant factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are:

Executive Summary

Liberty Media Transactions

Sirius XM Holdings Inc., the reporting company under this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is the product of a series of transactions that closed on Monday, September 9, 2024. Any references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “ours” refers to Sirius XM Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Transactions.

At the Merger Effective Time, SplitCo was renamed “Sirius XM Holdings Inc.” and succeeded to the attributes of Old Sirius as the registrant, including Old Sirius's Commission File Number and CIK number. Upon completion of the Transactions, Liberty Media ceased to own any shares of Sirius XM Holdings Inc.

On September 6, 2024, Sirius XM Radio LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company.

We operate two complementary audio entertainment businesses - our SiriusXM business and our Pandora and Off-platform business.

SiriusXM

Our SiriusXM business features a wide range of content, including, music, sports, entertainment, comedy, talk and news channels, podcasts and infotainment services, all available in the United States on a subscription fee basis. SiriusXM packages include live, curated, hosted and certain exclusive and on-demand programming. The SiriusXM service is distributed through SiriusXM’s two proprietary satellite radio systems and streamed via applications for mobile devices, home devices and other consumer electronic equipment. Satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers, retailers and SiriusXM’s website.

Table of Contents

The SiriusXM service is also available through an in-car user interface called “360L” that combines SiriusXM’s satellite and streaming services into a single, cohesive in-vehicle entertainment experience.SiriusXM holds a 70% equity interest and 33% voting interest in Sirius XM Canada Holdings Inc. (“Sirius XM Canada”).

The primary source of revenue from the SiriusXM business is subscription fees, with most of its customers subscribing to monthly or annual plans. Additional revenue streams include advertising on select music and non-music channels in certain packages, direct sales of radios and accessories, and other ancillary services. As of March 31, 2026, the SiriusXM business had approximately 32.8 million subscribers in the U.S., while Sirius XM Canada had approximately 2.4 million subscribers. Sirius XM Canada's subscribers are not included in our subscriber count or subscriber-based operating metrics.

In addition to our audio entertainment businesses, we provide connected vehicle services to several automakers. These services are designed to enhance the safety, security and driving experience of consumers. We also offer a suite of data services that includes graphical weather and fuel prices, a traffic information service and real-time weather services in boats and airplanes.

Pandora and Off-platform

The majority of revenue from Pandora is generated from advertising on Pandora’s ad-supported radio service, which is sold under the SiriusXM Media brand. Pandora also derives subscription revenue from its Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium subscribers. As of March 31, 2026, Pandora had approximately 40.1 million monthly active users and 5.6 million subscribers.

Sirius XM Holdings also sells advertising on other audio platforms and in widely-distributed podcasts, which it considers to be off-platform services. Sirius XM Holdings has an arrangement with SoundCloud Holdings, LLC (“SoundCloud”) to be its exclusive ad sales representative in the U.S. and certain European countries and offer advertisers the ability to execute campaigns across the Pandora and SoundCloud platforms. It also has arrangements to serve as the ad sales representative for certain podcasts. In addition, through AdsWizz Inc., Sirius XM Holdings provides a comprehensive digital audio and programmatic advertising technology platform, which connects audio publishers and advertisers with a variety of ad insertion, campaign trafficking, yield optimization, programmatic buying, marketplace and podcast monetization solutions.

Table of Contents

SiriusXM Revenue

SiriusXM Subscriber Revenue includes fees charged for self-pay and paid promotional subscriptions, U.S. Music Royalty Fees and other ancillary fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, subscriber revenue was $1,483 and $1,470, respectively, an increase of 1%, or $13. The increase was primarily attributed to rate increases on certain self-pay plans, partially offset by a decline in the average number of subscribers.

We expect SiriusXM subscriber revenues to remain relatively flat with higher average revenue per user (“ARPU”) offset by declines in the number of average subscribers.

SiriusXM Advertising Revenue includes the sale of advertising on SiriusXM’s non-music channels and select music channels within ad-supported plans.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, advertising revenue was $35 and $39, respectively, a decrease of 10%, or $4. The decrease was primarily due to lower advertising demand for news channels.

We expect our SiriusXM advertising revenue to remain relatively flat.

SiriusXM Equipment Revenue includes revenue and royalties from the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, equipment revenue was $41. Higher manufacturing volume was offset by an unfavorable chipset mix.

We expect equipment revenue to decline due to higher costs associated with the transition to our next generation chipset.

SiriusXM Other Revenue includes service fee revenue from Sirius XM Canada, revenue from our connected vehicle services and ancillary revenues.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, other revenue was $31. Higher service fee revenue from Sirius XM Canada was offset by a one-time true-up of license fees in the first quarter of 2025.

We expect other revenue to remain relatively flat.

Pandora and Off-platform Revenue

Pandora and Off-platform Subscriber Revenue includes fees charged for Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Pandora and Off-platform subscriber revenue was $129 and $132, respectively, a decrease of 2%, or $3. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in the subscriber base.

We anticipate Pandora and Off-platform subscriber revenues to decline modestly.

Pandora and Off-platform Advertising Revenue is generated primarily from audio, display and video advertising from on-platform and off-platform advertising.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Pandora and Off-platform advertising revenue was $372 and $355, respectively, an increase of 5%, or $17. The increase was driven by revenue generated from podcasts and higher programmatic demand and technology fees; partially offset by reduced advertiser demand in streaming music.

We expect Pandora and Off-platform advertising revenue to moderately increase due to growth in off-platform monetization, including through podcasts, as well as higher technology fees.

Total Revenue

Total Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $2,091 and $2,068, respectively, an increase of 1%, or $23.

Table of Contents

SiriusXM Cost of Services

SiriusXM Cost of Services includes revenue share and royalties, programming and content, customer service and billing, transmission and equipment expenses.

SiriusXM Revenue Share and Royalties include royalties for transmitting content, including streaming royalties, as well as revenue share agreements with automakers, content providers and advertisers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenue share and royalties were $377 and $379, respectively, a decrease of 1%, or $2, and decreased as a percentage of total SiriusXM revenue. The decrease was driven by lower revenue share with automakers, partially offset by higher webcasting royalties.

We expect our SiriusXM revenue share and royalty costs to remain flat as a percentage of total SiriusXM revenue.

SiriusXM Programming and Content includes costs to acquire, create, promote and produce content. We have entered into agreements with third parties for music and non-music programming that require us to pay license fees and other amounts.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, programming and content expenses were $135 and $137, respectively, a decrease of 1%, or $2, and decreased as a percentage of total SiriusXM revenue. The decrease was driven by lower content costs, partially offset by higher personnel-related costs.

We expect our SiriusXM programming and content expenses to decline due to lower costs to obtain certain content.

SiriusXM Customer Service and Billing includes costs related to the operation and management of internal and third-party customer service centers, our subscriber management systems, billing and collection processes, bad debt expense, and transaction fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, customer service and billing expenses were $86 and $94, respectively, a decrease of 9%, or $8, and decreased as a percentage of total SiriusXM revenue. The decrease was driven by lower call center costs and bad debt expense.

We expect our SiriusXM customer service and billing expenses to decrease as a result of reductions in call center and personnel-related costs, partially offset by higher costs associated with subscriber management systems and transaction costs.

SiriusXM Transmission consists of costs associated with the operation and maintenance of our terrestrial repeater networks; satellites; satellite telemetry, tracking and control systems; satellite uplink facilities; studios and delivery of our Internet and 360L streaming and connected vehicle services.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, transmission expenses were $39 and $42, respectively, a decrease of 7%, or $3, and decreased as a percentage of total SiriusXM revenue. The decrease was driven primarily by lower hosting costs associated with our streaming platform.

We expect our SiriusXM transmission expenses to increase primarily from hosting cloud costs for broadcast and service delivery as well as increases in maintenance costs related to our repeater network.

SiriusXM Cost of Equipment includes costs from the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories and provisions for inventory allowance attributable to products purchased for resale in our direct-to-consumer distribution channels.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cost of equipment was $2, and decreased as a percentage of total SiriusXM revenue. Lower sales volumes were offset by higher freight costs.

We expect our SiriusXM cost of equipment to decrease due to lower sales volumes.

Pandora and Off-platform Cost of Services

Pandora and Off-platform Cost of Services includes revenue share and royalties, programming and content, customer service and billing and transmission expenses.

Pandora and Off-platform Revenue Share and Royalties includes licensing fees paid for streaming music, podcast content, and revenue share paid to third party publishers. Payments are made based on advertising impressions delivered or click-through actions, and these costs are recorded in the related period.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenue share and royalties were $320 and $308, respectively, an increase of 4%, or $12, and increased as a percentage of total Pandora and Off-platform revenue. The increase was driven by podcast revenue share as well as a higher sound recording and publisher royalties.

We expect our Pandora and Off-platform revenue share and royalties to increase with the growth in our podcast revenue.

Pandora and Off-platform Programming and Content includes costs to produce owned and operated podcasts, live listener events and promote content.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, programming and content expenses were $15 and $16, respectively, a decrease of 6%, or $1, and decreased as a percentage of total Pandora and Off-platform revenue. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower live event and podcast programming costs.

We expect our Pandora and Off-platform programming and content costs to decline slightly.

Pandora and Off-platform Customer Service and Billing includes transaction fees on subscription purchases through mobile app stores and bad debt expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, customer service and billing expenses were $20 and $18, respectively, an increase of 11%, or $2, and increased as a percentage of total Pandora and Off-platform revenue. The increase was primarily driven by higher bad debt expense, partially offset by lower transaction fees.

We expect our Pandora and Off-platform customer service and billing costs to remain relatively flat.

Pandora and Off-platform Transmission includes costs associated with content streaming, maintaining our streaming radio and on-demand subscription services and creating and serving advertisements through third-party ad servers.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Pandora and Off-Platform transmission expenses were $8, and decreased as a percentage of total Pandora and Off-platform revenue.

We expect our Pandora and Off-platform transmission costs to remain relatively flat.

Operating Costs

Subscriber Acquisition Costs are costs associated with our satellite radio service. These include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers; subsidies paid for chipsets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain radios and chipsets; product warranty obligations and freight. The majority of subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance of acquiring a subscriber. Subscriber acquisition costs do not include advertising costs, marketing, loyalty payments to distributors and dealers of satellite radios or revenue share payments to automakers and retailers of satellite radios.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, subscriber acquisition costs were $100, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily driven by lower equipment installations.

We expect subscriber acquisition costs to remain relatively flat.

Sales and Marketing includes costs for marketing, advertising, media and production, including promotional events and sponsorships; cooperative and artist marketing; and personnel related costs including salaries, commissions, and sales support. Marketing costs include expenses related to direct mail, outbound telemarketing, email communications, social media, television and performance media and third party promotional offers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, sales and marketing expenses were $187 and $190, respectively, a decrease of 2%, or $3, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to personnel-related costs.

We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase due to an increased investment in our brand and content promotion spend to drive long term acquisition and retention benefits along with other marketing cost.

Product and Technology consists primarily of compensation and related costs to develop chipsets and new products and services, including streaming and connected vehicle services, research and development for broadcast information systems and the design and development costs to incorporate SiriusXM radios into new vehicles manufactured by automakers.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, product and technology expenses were $69 and $73, respectively, a decrease of 5%, or $4, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel-related costs.

We anticipate product and technology expenses will remain relatively flat as we optimize our technology spend.

General and Administrative primarily consists of compensation and related costs for personnel and facilities, and includes costs related to our finance, legal, human resources and information technology departments.

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, general and administrative expenses were $122, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. Lower personnel-related costs were offset by certain state tax litigation recoveries recorded in 2025.

We expect our general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of any past or future litigation insurance recoveries and settlement reserves, to decline due to continued efficiencies.

Depreciation and Amortization reflects the allocation of the costs of assets used in operations such as our satellite constellations, property, equipment and intangible assets over their estimated service lives.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, depreciation and amortization expense was $151 and $144, respectively. The increase was primarily associated with additional assets placed in service as well as a change in the estimated useful life of our Sirius FM-6 satellite. The change in the useful life of the Sirius FM-6 satellite is expected to add $60 of incremental depreciation expense for the fiscal year 2026 and will be fully depreciated by December 2026.

Impairment, Restructuring and Other Costs represents impairment charges associated with the carrying amount of an asset exceeding the asset's fair value, restructuring expenses associated with contract terminations, the abandonment of certain leased office spaces as well as employee severance charges and other charges associated with organizational changes in connection with the Transactions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, impairment, restructuring and other costs were $6 and $48, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded charges of $4 associated with restructuring charges and $2 associated with severance and other employee costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $20 associated with severance and other employee costs, $15 associated with restructuring costs, and a charge of $13 related to the write-off of certain assets.

Other (Expense) Income

Interest Expense represents the cost of interest on outstanding debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, interest expense was $112 and $117, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower average outstanding debt balance.

Other Income, Net primarily includes realized and unrealized gains and losses from our debt measured at fair value, bond hedges, our Deferred Compensation Plan and other investments, intergroup interests, interest and dividend income, our share of the income or loss from equity investments and transaction costs related to non-operating investments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, other expense, net was $16 and $1, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded unrealized losses on debt measured at fair value and trading losses associated with the investments held for our Deferred Compensation Plan, partially offset by earnings on unconsolidated entity investments.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Expense includes the change in our deferred tax assets, current federal and state tax expenses and foreign withholding taxes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, income tax expense was $81 and $65, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 24.8% and 24.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were primarily driven by federal and state income tax expense and tax losses related to share-based compensation, partially offset by certain tax credits.

Key Financial and Operating Performance Metrics

In this section, we present certain financial performance measures, some of which are presented as Non-GAAP items, which include free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA. We also present certain operating performance measures. Our adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of share-based payment expense. Additionally, when applicable, our adjusted EBITDA metric excludes the effect of significant items that do not relate to the on-going performance of our business. We use these Non-GAAP financial and operating performance measures to manage our business, to set operational goals and as a basis for determining performance-based compensation for our employees. See the accompanying Glossary for more details and for the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure (where applicable).

We believe these Non-GAAP financial and operating performance measures provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations. We believe these Non-GAAP financial and operating performance measures may be useful to investors in evaluating our core trends because they provide a more direct view of our underlying costs. We believe investors may use our adjusted EBITDA to estimate our current enterprise value and to make investment decisions. We believe free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our cash available for future subscriber acquisitions and capital expenditures, to repurchase or retire debt, to acquire other companies and our ability to return capital to stockholders. By providing these Non-GAAP financial and operating performance measures, together with the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure (where applicable), we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations.

Our Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures by other companies. Please refer to the Glossary for a further discussion of such Non-GAAP financial and operating performance measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure (where applicable). Subscribers and subscription related revenues and expenses associated with our connected vehicle services and Sirius XM Canada are not included in SiriusXM’s subscriber count or subscriber-based operating metrics. Subscribers to the Cloud Cover music programming service are now included in Pandora's subscriber count.

SiriusXM

Subscribers. At March 31, 2026, SiriusXM had 32,779 subscribers, a decrease of 85, from the 32,864 subscribers as of March 31, 2025. Our subscriber base declined primarily due to lower self-pay subscribers attributable to lower vehicle conversion rates, partially offset by reductions in vehicle-related and non-pay churn as well as growth in new initiatives.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net subscriber additions were (148) and (362), respectively, an improvement of 214. Self-pay net additions improved primarily due to growth in our value-add initiative such as the offer of companion subscriptions to subscribers, implementation of continuous service practices and automotive dealer extended-duration plans; partially offset by lower conversion rates. Paid promotional net additions also improved compared to the prior year periods driven by the timing of certain automakers transitioning from paid promotional subscriptions to unpaid or to shorter term promotional plans.

Sirius XM Canada Subscribers. At March 31, 2026, Sirius XM Canada had approximately 2,428 subscribers, a decrease of 59, or 2%, from the approximately 2,487 Sirius XM Canada subscribers as of March 31, 2025.

Average Self-pay Monthly Churn is derived by dividing the monthly average of self-pay deactivations for the period by the average number of self-pay subscribers for the period. (See accompanying Glossary for more details.)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our average self-pay monthly churn rate was 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively. The decrease was driven by lower vehicle-related and non-pay churn, partially offset by higher voluntary churn.

ARPU is derived from total earned SiriusXM subscriber revenue (excluding revenue derived from our connected vehicle services) and net advertising revenue, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. (See the accompanying Glossary for more details.)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, ARPU was $14.99 and $14.86, respectively. The increase was driven by rate increases on certain self-pay plans.

SAC, Per Installation, is derived from subscriber acquisition costs and margins from the sale of radios, components and accessories (excluding connected vehicle services), divided by the number of satellite radio installations in new vehicles and shipments of aftermarket radios for the period. (See the accompanying Glossary for more details.)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, SAC, per installation, was $18.80 and $18.86, respectively. The decrease was driven by a higher mix of chipset production compared to installations, partially offset by the transition to higher cost chipsets as well as contractual changes with certain automakers.

Pandora and Off-platform

Monthly Active Users. At March 31, 2026, Pandora had approximately 40,068 monthly active users, a decrease of 2,289 monthly active users, or 5%, from the 42,357 monthly active users as of March 31, 2025. The decrease in monthly active users was driven by churn and a decline in the number of new users.

Subscribers. At March 31, 2026, Pandora had approximately 5,597 subscribers, a decrease of 108, or 2%, from the approximately 5,705 subscribers as of March 31, 2025.

Ad supported listener hours are a key indicator of our Pandora business and the engagement of our Pandora listeners. We include ad supported listener hours related to Pandora's non-music content offerings in the definition of listener hours.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, ad supported listener hours were 2,221 and 2,352, respectively, a decrease of 6%, or 131. The decrease was primarily driven by the decline in monthly active users.

RPM is a key indicator of our ability to monetize advertising inventory created by listener hours on the Pandora services. Ad RPM is calculated by dividing advertising revenue by the number of thousands of listener hours of our Pandora advertising-based service.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, RPM was $84.11 and $87.23, respectively. The decrease was driven by lower inventory volumes correlated with a decline in listener hours and increased competition for digital advertising spend resulting in lower demand for streaming music.

Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of other expense (income), loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment, restructuring and other costs, other non-cash charges such as share-based payment expense, and legal settlements and reserves (if applicable). (See the accompanying Glossary for a reconciliation to GAAP and for more details.)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $666 and $629, respectively, an increase of 6%, or $37. The increase was driven by higher subscriber and advertising revenue as well as lower cost of services, product and technology and general and administrative expenses driven by disciplined cost management and operational efficiency.

Free Cash Flow includes cash provided by operations, net of additions to property and equipment, and restricted and other investment activity. (See the accompanying Glossary for a reconciliation to GAAP and for more details.)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, free cash flow was $171 and $56, respectively, an increase of 205%, or $115. The increase was driven by higher adjusted EBITDA and lower capital expenditures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents a summary of our cash flow activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025.


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $29 to $271 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $242 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Our largest source of cash provided by operating activities is cash generated by subscription and subscription-related revenues. We also generate cash from the sale of advertising through the Pandora and Off-platform business, advertising on certain non-music and select music channels on SiriusXM and the sale of satellite radios, components and accessories. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include revenue share and royalty payments to distributors, programming and content providers and payments to radio manufacturers, distributors and automakers. In addition, uses of cash from operating activities include payments to vendors to service, maintain and acquire listeners and subscribers, general corporate expenditures and compensation and related costs.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily due to spending for capitalized software and hardware, the construction of satellites, acquisitions of tax-effective investments for total cash consideration of $53 and a cost method investment for total cash consideration of $20. Cash flows used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily due to spending for capitalized software and hardware, the construction of satellites and acquisitions of tax-effective investments for total cash consideration of $49. We spent $74 and $105 on capitalized software and hardware as well as $29 and $69 to construct satellites during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities consists of the issuance and repayment of long-term debt, purchases of our common stock, the payment of cash dividends and taxes paid in lieu of shares issued for stock-based compensation. Proceeds from long-term debt have been used to fund our operations, construct and launch new satellites, fund acquisitions, invest in other infrastructure improvements and purchase shares of our common stock.

Table of Contents

Cash flows used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily due to the repayment of $1,733 of debt, the payment of cash dividends of $91, the purchase and retirement of shares of our common stock under our repurchase program of $22 and the payment of $26 for taxes in lieu of shares issued for share-based compensation, partially offset by proceeds from debt borrowings of $1,755. Long-term debt proceeds and repayments are reported gross within the statement of cash flows and primarily relate to the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan and the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Cash flows used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily due to the repayment of $612 of debt, the payment of cash dividends of $91, the purchase and retirement of shares of our common stock under our repurchase program of $25 and the payment of $10 for taxes in lieu of shares issued for share-based compensation, partially offset by proceeds from debt borrowings of $696. Long-term debt proceeds and repayments are reported gross within the statement of cash flows and primarily relate to the Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and the Credit Facility.

Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

Based upon our current business plans, we expect to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures, including the construction of replacement satellites, working capital requirements, interest payments, taxes and scheduled maturities of our debt with existing cash, cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility, including the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan. As of March 31, 2026, $1,930 was available for future borrowing under the Credit Facility and no amount was available under the Delayed Draw Incremental Term Loan. We believe that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, as well as debt capacity, to cover our estimated short and long-term funding needs, including upcoming maturities of debt, amounts to construct, launch and insure replacement satellites, as well as fund future stock repurchases and dividend payments and to pursue strategic opportunities.

Our ability to meet our debt and other obligations depends on our future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive and other factors.

We regularly evaluate our business plans and strategy. These evaluations often result in changes to our business plans and strategy, some of which may be material and significantly change our cash requirements. These changes in our business plans or strategy may include: the acquisition of unique or compelling programming; the development and introduction of new features or services; significant new or enhanced distribution arrangements; investments in infrastructure, such as satellites, equipment or radio spectrum and acquisitions and investments, including acquisitions and investments that are not directly related to our existing business.

We may from time to time purchase our outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Purchases or retirement of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

We have made, and expect to continue to make, certain tax-efficient equity investments in clean energy technologies, including industrial carbon capture and storage. These investments are expected to produce tax credits and related tax losses. The payments on these equity investments will be classified as investing activities from a cash flow perspective, while the tax credits and losses will benefit our federal cash taxes in operating activities.

Stock Repurchase Program

Following the closing of the Transactions, on September 9, 2024, our board of directors authorized for repurchase an aggregate of $1,166 of our common stock. The board of directors did not establish an end date for this stock repurchase program. Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, including in accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or otherwise. We intend to fund any stock repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future borrowings. The size and timing of any purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. As of March 31, 2026, our cumulative repurchases since the closing of the Transactions under our stock repurchase program totaled 7,550 thousand shares for $164, and $1,003 remained available for additional repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program authorization.

Glossary

Self-pay subscriber - a self-pay subscriber is a user that, as of the date of determination, was party to a customer agreement with SiriusXM or Pandora, and (i) has paid or agreed to pay a subscription fee, including at a promotional price, or (ii) the subscription fee has been paid by an automaker for a period of three years or greater. For subscription plans that entitle the customer to multiple registered users, each registered user under such plan is counted as a self-pay subscriber. Lifetime subscribers to the SiriusXM service are counted as self-pay subscribers because they are party to a customer agreement with SiriusXM and have paid a subscription fee, although in almost all cases the revenue from such subscriptions have been fully recognized in prior periods. Our new continuous service practices allow for subscribers to keep their subscription active even when it is not linked to a vehicle. Certain users that are party to a customer agreement with SiriusXM or Pandora and have paid or agreed to pay a small promotional price for a trial subscription are not counted as self-pay subscribers because the promotional price is considered to be de minimis and, in management's view, the payment is not indicative of the user’s intent to subscribe to the service in the near-term.

Paid promotional subscriber - a paid promotional subscriber is a user that, as of the date of determination, has their subscription fee paid for by a third party, for a fixed trial subscription period, which typically range from one to twelve months but is less than three years. We count prepaid shipped but not activated vehicles as paid promotional subscribers.

Monthly active users - the number of distinct registered users on the Pandora services, including subscribers, which have consumed content within the trailing 30 days to the end of the final calendar month of the period. The number of monthly active users on the Pandora services may overstate the number of unique individuals who actively use our Pandora service, as one individual may use multiple accounts. To become a registered user on the Pandora services, a person must sign-up using an email address or access our service using a device with a unique identifier, which we use to create an account for our service.

Average self-pay monthly churn - for in-car and retail radio subscriptions, the SiriusXM monthly average of self-pay deactivations for the period divided by the average number of self-pay subscribers for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or adjusts for the impact of other expense (income), gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment, restructuring and other costs, Former Parent operating costs, other non-cash charges such as share-based payment expense and legal settlements and reserves (if applicable). We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the underlying trend of our operating performance, which provides useful information about our business apart from the costs associated with our capital structure and purchase price accounting. We believe investors find this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing our past operating performance with our current performance and comparing our operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. We believe investors use adjusted EBITDA to estimate our current enterprise value and to make investment decisions. As a result of large capital investments in our satellite radio system, our results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. We believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful as it is not directly related to the operational conditions of our business. We also believe the exclusion of the legal settlements and reserves, impairment, restructuring and other costs, to the extent they occur during the period, is useful as they are significant expenses not incurred as part of our normal operations for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate our operating results after giving effect for these costs should refer to net income as disclosed in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:

Free cash flow - is derived from cash flow provided by operating activities, net of additions to property and equipment and purchases of other investments. Free cash flow is a metric that our management and board of directors use to evaluate the cash generated by our operations, net of capital expenditures and other investment activity. In a capital intensive business, with significant investments in satellites, we look at our operating cash flow, net of these investing cash outflows, to determine cash available for future subscriber acquisition and capital expenditures, to repurchase or retire debt, to acquire other companies and to evaluate our ability to return capital to stockholders. We exclude from free cash flow certain items that do not relate to the on-going performance of our business, such as cash flows related to acquisitions, strategic and short-term investments, including tax efficient investments in clean energy as well as net loan activity with related parties and other equity investees. We believe free cash flow is an indicator of the long-term financial stability of our business. Free cash flow, which is reconciled to “Net cash provided by operating activities”, is a Non-GAAP financial measure. This measure can be calculated by deducting amounts under the captions “Additions to property and equipment” and deducting or adding Restricted and other investment activity from “Net cash provided by operating activities” from the consolidated statements of cash flows. Free cash flow should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures and may not be comparable to free cash flow measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow should be viewed as a supplemental measure rather than an alternative measure of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is limited and does not represent remaining cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt maturities. We believe free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our current cash flow, along with other GAAP measures (such as cash flows from operating and investing activities), to determine our financial condition and to compare our operating performance to other communications, entertainment and media companies. Free cash flow is calculated as follows:

ARPU - SiriusXM ARPU is derived from total earned subscriber revenue (excluding revenue associated with our connected vehicle services) and advertising revenue, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period.

Subscriber acquisition cost, per installation - or SAC, per installation, is derived from subscriber acquisition costs less margins from the sale of radios and accessories (excluding connected vehicle services), divided by the number of satellite radio installations in new vehicles and shipments of aftermarket radios for the period. SAC, per installation, is calculated as follows:

Ad supported listener hours - is based on the total bytes served over our Pandora advertising supported platforms for each track that is requested and served from our Pandora servers, as measured by our internal analytics systems, whether or not a listener listens to the entire track. For non-music content such as podcasts, episodes are divided into approximately track-length parts, which are treated as tracks. To the extent that third-party measurements of advertising hours are not calculated using a similar server-based approach, the third-party measurements may differ from our measurements.

RPM - is calculated by dividing advertising revenue, excluding AdsWizz and other off-platform revenue, by the number of thousands of listener hours on our Pandora advertising-based service.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of business due to our ongoing investing and financial activities and the conduct of operations. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in stock prices and interest rates. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investment activities, which include investments in fixed and floating rate debt instruments and borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund business operations. The nature and amount of our long- and short-term debt are expected to vary as a result of future requirements, market conditions and other factors. We manage our exposure to interest rates by maintaining what we believe is an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt. We believe this best protects us from interest rate risk. We have achieved this mix by (i) issuing fixed rate debt that we believe has a low stated interest rate and significant term to maturity and (ii) issuing variable rate debt with appropriate maturities and interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, we had $456 million principal amount of variable rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7% and $9,325 million principal amount of fixed rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.6%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of March 31, 2026, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer (the “Executives”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Executives concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On September 9, 2024, our board of directors approved for repurchase an aggregate of $1.166 billion of our common stock. The board of directors did not establish an end date for this stock repurchase program. Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, including in accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or otherwise. We intend to fund any stock repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future borrowings. The size and timing of any purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

As of March 31, 2026, our cumulative repurchases since the closing of the Transactions under our stock repurchase program totaled 7,550 thousand shares for $164 million, and $1.003 billion remained available for additional repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program authorization.
