SIRIUS XM RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(1) Business
We broadcast our music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather channels in the
United States on a subscription fee basis through our two proprietary satellite radio systems.
Subscribers can also receive certain of our music and other channels over the Internet, including
through applications for Apple, Blackberry and Android-powered mobile devices.
Our primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of our customers subscribing on
an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. We offer discounts for prepaid and long-term
subscription plans as well as discounts for multiple subscriptions on each platform. We also
derive revenue from activation and other fees, the sale of advertising on select non-music
channels, the direct sale of satellite radios and accessories, and other ancillary services, such
as our weather, traffic, data and Backseat TV services.
Our satellite radios are primarily distributed through automakers (OEMs); nationwide through
retail locations; and through our website. We have agreements with every major automaker to offer
satellite radios as factory or dealer-installed equipment in their vehicles. Satellite radio
services are also offered to customers of certain daily rental car companies.
In July 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, Vernon Merger Corporation, merged (the Merger)
with and into XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. On August 5, 2008, we changed our name from Sirius
Satellite Radio Inc. to Sirius XM Radio Inc. On January 12, 2011, XM Satellite Radio Inc., our
wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into Sirius XM Radio Inc. All outstanding debt
instruments held by XM Satellite Radio Inc. were assumed by Sirius XM Radio Inc. in the merger.
(2) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Sirius XM Radio Inc. and
subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these
interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP
for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair
presentation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 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, 2010, which was filed with the SEC on February 16, 2011.
We have evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date and prior to the filing of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and have determined
that no events have occurred that would require adjustment to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
In presenting unaudited consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and accompanying notes. Estimates, by their nature,
are based on judgment and available information at this time. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements include revenue recognition, asset impairment, useful lives of our satellites,
share-based payment expense, and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Economic
conditions in the United States could have a material impact on our accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve
Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial
Reporting Standards (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2011-04), to provide a consistent
definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are
similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes
certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for
level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on
companies that apply U.S. GAAP. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating
the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2011-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income
(Topic 220) Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present
the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other
comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two
separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of
other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The standard does not change the
items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when
they must be reclassified to net income. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 affects
financial statement presentation only and will have no impact on our results of operations.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic net income per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares
outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted net income per common share adjusts the weighted
average common shares outstanding for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock
equivalents (convertible debt and preferred stock, warrants, stock options, restricted stock and
restricted stock units) were exercised or converted into common stock, calculated using the
treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of approximately 96,155,764 and 686,407,346 for the
three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 109,334,669 and 692,011,065 for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of
diluted net income per common share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, refurbished goods, chip sets and other raw material
components used in manufacturing radios. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a
first-in, first-out or market basis. We record an estimated allowance for inventory that is
considered slow moving, obsolete or whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value. The
provision related to products purchased for resale in our direct to consumer distribution channel
and components held for resale by us is reported as a component of Cost of equipment in our
unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The provision related to inventory consumed in our
OEM and retail distribution channel is reported as a component of Subscriber acquisition costs in
our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the
liability. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair value due to
the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair value for publicly traded instruments is determined using quoted market prices while
the fair value for non-publicly traded instruments is based upon estimates from a market maker and
brokerage firm. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of our debt was
$3,024,960 and $3,217,578, respectively; and the fair value approximated $3,488,874 and $3,722,905,
respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in our prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to our current period presentation.
(4) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Our annual
impairment assessment is performed as of October 1st of each year, and an assessment is
performed at other times if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the
asset is impaired. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no
indicators of impairment and no impairment loss was recorded to our goodwill.

Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
We have identified our FCC licenses and the XM trademark 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 operate our satellite digital audio radio service and provide
ancillary services. The following table outlines the years in which each of our licenses expires:

|
In 2010, we retired the FM-4 ground spare satellite. We still maintain the FCC license
for this satellite. |
|
(2) |
|
We hold an FCC license for the FM-6 satellite. The FCC license will expire eight years from
launch of this satellite. |
Prior to expiration, we are required to apply for a renewal of our FCC licenses. The renewal
and extension of our licenses is reasonably certain at minimal cost, which is expensed as incurred.
Each of the FCC licenses authorizes us to use the broadcast spectrum, which is a renewable,
reusable resource that does not deplete or exhaust over time.
In connection with the Merger, $250,000 of the purchase price was allocated to the XM
trademark. As of June 30, 2011, there were no legal, regulatory or contractual limitations
associated with the XM trademark.
Our annual impairment assessment of our indefinite intangible assets is performed as of
October 1st of each year. An assessment is made at other times if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets have been impaired. As of
June 30, 2011, there were no indicators of impairment and no impairment loss was recorded for
intangible assets with indefinite lives during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and
2010.

Definite Life Intangible Assets
Subscriber relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis over 9 years, which reflects
the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. Other definite life
intangible assets include certain licensing agreements, which are amortized over a weighted average
useful life of 9.1 years on a straight-line basis.
Amortization expense for definite life intangible assets was $14,960 and $16,818 for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $30,263 and $34,114 for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Expected amortization expense for the remaining period in
2011, each of the years 2012 through 2015 and for periods thereafter is as follows:

(7) Interest Costs
We capitalize a portion of the interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction costs of
our satellites and related launch vehicles for our FM-6 satellite in 2011 and for our FM-6 and XM-5
satellites in 2010. We also incur interest costs on all of our debt instruments and certain
contingent incentive payments due pursuant to our satellite construction agreements. The following
is a summary of our interest costs:

Satellites
We own four orbiting satellites for use in the SIRIUS system. Space Systems/Loral is
constructing a fifth satellite, FM-6, for use in this system which is anticipated to launch in the
fourth quarter of 2011. We have an agreement with International Launch Services to launch this
satellite on a Proton rocket.
We own five orbiting satellites for use in the XM system. Four of these satellites were
manufactured by Boeing Satellite Systems International and one was manufactured by Space
Systems/Loral.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we capitalized expenditures, including
interest, of $29,137 and $50,702, respectively, related to the construction of the FM-6 satellite
and related launch vehicle. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we capitalized
$88,309 and $123,454, respectively, of expenditures, including interest, which also related to FM-6
and XM-5.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we recorded $9,723 and $9,765, respectively,
related to accrued interest with Liberty Media to Related party current liabilities. We recognized
Interest expense associated with debt held by Liberty Media of $8,851 and $10,902 for the three

Sirius XM Canada
In June 2011, Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (CSR), the parent company of XM Canada,
and SIRIUS Canada completed a transaction to combine their operations (the Canada Merger). As a
result of the Canada merger, SIRIUS Canada is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSR. The combined
company will operate as Sirius XM Canada. In connection with the transaction, we received:
|
|
|
approximately 46,700,000 Class A shares of CSR, representing a 38.0% equity
interest and a 25.0% voting interest; |
12
SIRIUS XM RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
|
$53,781 in cash as repayment of the XM Canada credit facility ($38,815) and
consideration for our preferred stock in SIRIUS Canada ($10,117 as a return of
capital and $4,849 in dividends); and |
|
|
|
|
approximately $4,100 in non-interest bearing notes of CSR, which primarily have a
two year term. |
Our interest in Sirius XM Canada will be accounted for under the equity method. The
transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby SIRIUS Canada was deemed to be the
acquirer of CSR. As a result of the transaction, we recognized an $83,718 gain in Interest and
investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
The excess of the cost of our ownership interest in the equity of Sirius XM Canada over our
share of the net assets is recognized as goodwill and intangible assets and is included in the
carrying amount of our investment. Equity method goodwill is not amortized. We will periodically
evaluate this investment to determine if there has been an other than temporary decline below
carrying value. Equity method intangible assets are amortized over their respective useful lives,
which is recorded in Interest and investment income. As of June 30, 2011, our investment balance
in Sirius XM Canada was approximately $54,800, $30,000 of which represents equity method goodwill
and intangible assets, and was recorded in Related party long-term assets. Sirius XM Canada is
still evaluating the fair value allocation between goodwill and intangible assets; the final
purchase price allocation is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.
We provide Sirius XM Canada with chipsets and other services and we are reimbursed for these
costs. As of June 30, 2011, amounts due for these costs totaled $6,264 and is reported as Related
party current assets.
As of June 30, 2011, amounts due from Sirius XM Canada also included $7,576 attributable to
deferred programming costs and accrued interest, all of which is reported as Related party
long-term assets.
We hold an investment in Cdn$4,000 face value of 8% convertible unsecured subordinated
debentures issued by XM Canada and assumed by Sirius XM Canada, for which the embedded conversion
feature is bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is accounted for at fair value as
an available-for-sale security with changes in fair value recorded to Accumulated other
comprehensive loss, net of tax. The embedded conversion feature is accounted for at fair value as a
derivative with changes in fair value recorded in earnings as Interest and investment income
(loss). As of June 30, 2011, the carrying values of the host contract and embedded derivative
related to our investment in the debentures was $3,537 and $4, respectively. As of December 31,
2010, the carrying values of the host contract and embedded derivative related to our investment in
the debentures was $3,302 and $11, respectively. The carrying values of the host contract and
embedded derivative are recorded in Related party long-term assets.
Our share of net earnings or losses of Sirius XM Canada will be recorded to Interest and
investment income (loss) in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations on a one month lag.
SIRIUS Canada
We had an equity interest of 49.9% in SIRIUS Canada until June 21, 2011 when the transaction
between XM Canada and SIRIUS Canada closed. Our investment balance was zero as of December 31,
2010 as our investment balance was absorbed by our share of net losses generated by SIRIUS Canada.
In 2005, we entered into a license and services agreement with SIRIUS Canada. Pursuant to
such agreement, we are reimbursed for certain costs incurred to provide SIRIUS Canada service,
including certain costs incurred for the production and distribution of radios, as well as
information technology support costs. In consideration for the rights granted pursuant to this
license and services agreement, we have the right to receive a royalty equal to a percentage of
SIRIUS Canadas gross revenues based on subscriber levels (ranging between 5% to 15%) and the
number of Canadian-specific channels made available to SIRIUS Canada.
We recorded the following revenue from SIRIUS Canada. Royalty income is included in other
revenue and dividend income is included in Interest and investment income (loss) in our unaudited
consolidated statements of operations:

SIRIUS XM RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Receivables from royalty and dividend income were utilized to absorb a portion of our
share of net losses generated by SIRIUS Canada during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010. Total costs that have been or will be reimbursed by SIRIUS Canada for the three months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $2,763 and $2,393, respectively, and for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $5,253 and $4,835, respectively.
Our share of net earnings or losses of SIRIUS Canada is recorded to Interest and investment
income (loss) in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations on a one month lag. Our share
of SIRIUS Canadas net loss was $5,259 and $1,316 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively, and $9,717 and $3,218 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The payments received from SIRIUS Canada in excess of carrying value was $3,868 and

the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
XM Canada
We had an equity interest of 21.5% in XM Canada until June 21, 2011 when transaction between
XM Canada and SIRIUS Canada closed. Our investment balance was zero as of December 31, 2010 as our
investment balance was absorbed by our share of net losses generated by XM Canada.
In 2005, XM entered into agreements to provide XM Canada with the right to offer XM satellite
radio service in Canada. The agreements have an initial ten year term and XM Canada has the
unilateral option to extend the agreements for an additional five year term. We receive a 15%
royalty for all subscriber fees earned by XM Canada each month for its basic service and an
activation fee for each gross activation of an XM Canada subscriber on XMs system. Sirius XM
Canada is obligated to pay us a total of $70,300 for the rights to broadcast and market National
Hockey League (NHL) games for a ten year term. We recognize these payments on a gross basis as a
principal obligor pursuant to the provisions of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The estimated fair
value of deferred revenue from XM Canada as of the Merger date was approximately $34,000, which is
amortized on a straight-line basis through 2020, the end of the expected term of the agreements. As
of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of deferred revenue related to this
agreement was $27,405 and $28,792, respectively.
The Cdn$45,000 standby credit facility we extended to XM Canada was paid and terminated as a
result of the Canada Merger. We received $38,815 in cash upon payment of the standby credit
facility. As a result of the repayment of the credit facility and completion of the Canada Merger,
we released a $15,649 valuation allowance related to the absorption of our share of the net loss
from our investment in XM Canada as of June 21, 2011.
As of December 31, 2010, amounts due from XM Canada also included $7,201 attributable to
deferred programming costs and accrued interest, all of which is reported as Related party
long-term assets.

related services directly to subscribers who are also GM customers for which we reimburse GM.
We make bandwidth available to OnStar LLC for audio and data transmissions to owners of
enabled GM vehicles, regardless of whether the owner is a subscriber. OnStars use of our bandwidth
must be in compliance with applicable laws, must not compete or adversely interfere with our
business, and must meet our quality standards. We also granted to OnStar a certain amount of time
to use our studios on an annual basis and agreed to provide certain audio content for distribution
on OnStars services.
We have a long-term distribution agreement with American Honda. American Honda had a
representative on our board of directors and was considered a related party through May 27, 2010.
We have an agreement to make a certain amount of our bandwidth available to American Honda.
American Hondas use of our bandwidth must be in compliance with applicable laws, must not compete
or adversely interfere with our business, and must meet our quality standards. This agreement
remains in effect so long as American Honda holds a certain amount of its investment in us. We make
incentive payments to American Honda for each purchaser of a Honda or Acura vehicle that becomes a
self-paying subscriber and we share with American Honda a portion of the subscriber revenue
attributable to Honda and Acura vehicles with installed satellite radios.

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,

(12) Stockholders Equity
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share
We were authorized to issue up to 9,000,000,000 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010. There were 3,948,913,078 and 3,933,195,112 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011, approximately 3,287,210,000 shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance in connection with outstanding convertible debt, preferred stock, warrants, incentive
stock awards and common stock to be granted to third parties upon satisfaction of performance
targets.
To facilitate the offering of the Exchangeable Notes, we entered into share lending agreements
with Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. (MS) and UBS AG London Branch (UBS) in July 2008,
under which we loaned MS and UBS an aggregate of 262,400,000 shares of our common stock in exchange
for a fee of $0.001 per share. The obligations of MS to us under its share lending agreement are
guaranteed by its parent company, Morgan Stanley. During the third quarter of 2009, MS returned to
us 60,000,000 shares of our common stock borrowed in July 2008, which were retired upon receipt. As
of June 30, 2011, there were 202,400,000 shares loaned under the facilities.
Under each share lending agreement, the share loan will terminate in whole or in part, as the
case may be, and the relevant borrowed shares must be returned to us upon the earliest of the
following: (i) the share borrower terminates all or a portion of the loan between it and us,
(ii) we notify the share borrower that some of the Exchangeable Notes as to which borrowed shares
relate have been exchanged, repaid or repurchased or are otherwise no longer outstanding, (iii) the
maturity date of the Exchangeable Notes, December 1, 2014, (iv) the date as of which the entire
principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes ceases to be outstanding as a result of exchange,
repayment, repurchase or otherwise or (v) the termination of the share lending agreement by the
share borrower or by us upon default by the other party, including the bankruptcy of us or the
share borrower or, in the case of the MS share lending agreement, the guarantor. A share borrower
may delay the return of borrowed shares for up to 30 business days (or under certain circumstances,
up to 60 business days) if such share borrower is legally prevented from returning the borrowed
shares to us, in which case the share borrower may, under certain circumstances, choose to pay us
the value of the borrowed shares in cash instead of returning the borrowed shares. Once borrowed
shares are returned to us, they may not be re-borrowed under the share lending agreements. There
were no requirements for the share borrowers to provide collateral.
The shares we loaned to the share borrowers are issued and outstanding for corporate law
purposes, and holders of borrowed shares (other than the share borrowers) have the same rights
under those shares as holders of any of our other outstanding common shares. Under GAAP, the
borrowed shares are not considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting our net
income (loss) per common share. The accounting method may change if, due to a default by either UBS
or MS (or Morgan Stanley, as guarantor), the borrowed shares, or the equivalent value of those
shares, will not be returned to us as required under the share lending agreements.
We recorded interest expense related to the amortization of the costs associated with the
share-lending arrangement and other issuance costs of $2,760 and $2,491, respectively, for the
three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and $5,450 and $4,918, respectively, for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the unamortized balance of the debt issuance
costs was $45,793, with $44,877 recorded in deferred financing fees, net, and $916 recorded in
long-term related party assets. As of December 31, 2010, the unamortized balance of the debt
issuance costs was $51,243, with $50,218 recorded in deferred financing fees, net, and $1,025
recorded in long-term related party assets. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the
estimated fair value of the remaining 202,400,000 loaned shares was approximately $443,256 and
$329,912, respectively.
In January 2004, SIRIUS signed a seven-year agreement with a sports programming provider which
expired in February 2011. Upon execution of this agreement, SIRIUS delivered 15,173,070 shares of
common stock valued at $40,967 to that programming provider. These shares of common stock were
subject to transfer restrictions which lapsed over time. We recognized share-based payment expense
associated with these shares of $0 and $219 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and $1,568 and $1,860 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $0 and $1,568 remaining balance of common
stock value included in other current assets, respectively.
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
We were authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock as of June
30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

2011 and December 31, 2010. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common
stock at the rate of 206.9581409 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock,
representing approximately 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock (after giving effect to

number of votes equal to the number of shares of our common stock into which such shares of Series
B Preferred Stock are convertible. Liberty Radio LLC will also receive dividends and distributions
ratably with our common stock, on an as-converted basis. With respect to dividend rights, the
Series B Preferred Stock ranks evenly with our common stock and each other class or series of our
equity securities not expressly provided as ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. With
respect to liquidation rights, the Series B Preferred Stock ranks evenly with each other class or
series of our equity securities not expressly provided as ranking senior to the Series B Preferred
Stock, and will rank senior to our common stock.
There were no shares of Preferred Stock, Series C Junior (the Series C Junior Preferred
Stock), issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. In 2009, our board of
directors created and reserved for issuance in accordance with the Rights Plan (as described below)
9,000 shares of the Series C Junior Preferred Stock. The shares of Series C Junior Preferred Stock
are not redeemable and rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of
assets, junior to all other series of our preferred stock, unless the terms of such series shall so
provide. The Rights Plan expired on August 1, 2011.
Warrants
We have issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock in connection with distribution and
programming agreements, satellite purchase agreements and certain debt issuances. As of June 30,
2011, approximately 24,346,000 warrants to acquire an equal number of shares of common stock with
an average exercise price of $2.96 per share were outstanding and fully vested as of December 31,
2009 and expire at various times through 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011,
525,000 and 1,575,000 of warrants expired, respectively.
In February 2011, Daimler AG exercised 16,500,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock
on a net settlement basis, resulting in the issuance of 7,122,951 shares of our common stock.
Rights Plan
In April 2009, our board of directors adopted a rights plan. The terms of the rights and the
rights plan are set forth in a Rights Agreement dated as of April 29, 2009 (the Rights Plan). The
Rights Plan was intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group acquiring 4.9% or more of our
outstanding common stock (assuming for purposes of this calculation that all of our outstanding
convertible preferred stock is converted into common stock) without the approval of our board of
directors. The Rights Plan expired on August 1, 2011.
(13) Benefits Plans
We recognized share-based payment expense of $10,735 and $15,682 for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $22,023 and $31,223 for the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively. We did not realize any income tax benefits from share-based benefits
plans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 as a result of the full
valuation allowance that is maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets.
2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2009, our stockholders approved the Sirius XM Radio Inc. 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive
Plan (the 2009 Plan). Employees, consultants and members of our board of directors are eligible
to receive awards under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of stock options,
restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards that the compensation
committee of our board of directors may deem appropriate. Vesting and other terms of stock-based
awards are set forth in the agreements with the individuals receiving the awards. Stock-based
awards granted under the 2009 Plan are generally subject to a vesting requirement. Stock-based
awards generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Each restricted stock unit entitles the
holder to receive one share of common stock upon vesting. As of June 30, 2011, approximately
271,986,000 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2009 Plan.

There were no options granted to third parties during the three and six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010.
We estimate fair value of awards granted using the hybrid approach for volatility, which
weights observable historical volatility and implied volatility of qualifying actively traded
options on our common stock. In 2010, due to the lack of qualifying actively traded options on our
common stock, we utilized a 100% weighting to observable historical volatility.

awards is expected to be recognized is three years as of June 30, 2011.
401(k) Savings Plan
We sponsor the Sirius XM Radio 401(k) Savings Plan (the Sirius XM Plan) for eligible
employees.
The Sirius XM 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 employees
voluntary contributions, up to 6% of an employees pre-tax salary, in the form of shares of common
stock. Employer matching contributions under the Sirius XM Plan vest at a rate of 331/3% for each
year of employment and are fully vested after three years of employment for all current and future
contributions. Share-based payment expense resulting from the matching contribution to the plans
was $814 and $718 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1,583 and
$1,925 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We may also elect to contribute to the profit sharing portion of the Sirius XM Plan based upon
the total eligible compensation of eligible participants. These additional contributions in the
form of shares of common stock are determined by the compensation committee of our board of
directors. Employees are only eligible to receive profit-sharing contributions during any year in
which they are employed on the last day of the year. We currently do not anticipate contributing to
the profit sharing portion of the Sirius XM Plan in 2011. Profit-sharing contribution expense was
$0 and $2,594 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0 and $3,844
for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The table does not include our reserve for uncertain taxes, which at June 30, 2011
totaled $1,496, as the specific timing of any cash payments relating to this obligation cannot be
projected with reasonable certainty. |
Long-term debt obligations. Long-term debt obligations include principal payments on
outstanding debt and capital lease obligations.
Cash interest payments. Cash interest payments include interest due on outstanding debt
through maturity.
Satellite and transmission. We have entered into agreements with third parties to operate and
maintain the off-site satellite telemetry, tracking and control facilities and certain components
of our terrestrial repeater networks. We have also entered into various agreements to design and
construct a satellite and related launch vehicle for use in our systems.

SIRIUS XM RADIO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have an agreement with Space Systems/Loral to design and construct a fifth satellite, FM-6,
for use in the SIRIUS system. In January 2008, we entered into an agreement with International
Launch Services (ILS) to secure a satellite launch on a Proton rocket for this satellite.
Programming and content. We have entered into various programming agreements. Under the terms
of these agreements, we are obligated to provide payments to other entities that may include fixed
payments, advertising commitments and revenue sharing arrangements.
Marketing and distribution. We have entered into various marketing, sponsorship and
distribution agreements to promote our brand and are obligated to make payments to sponsors,
retailers, automakers and radio manufacturers under these agreements. Certain programming and
content agreements also require us to purchase advertising on properties owned or controlled by the
licensors. We also reimburse automakers for certain engineering and development costs associated
with the incorporation of satellite radios into vehicles they manufacture. In addition, in the
event certain new products are not shipped by a distributor to its customers within 90 days of the
distributors receipt of goods, we have agreed to purchase and take title to the product.
Satellite incentive payments. Boeing Satellite Systems International, Inc., the manufacturer
of four of XMs in-orbit satellites, may be entitled to future in-orbit performance payments with
respect to two of our satellites. As of June 30, 2011, we have accrued $29,240 related to
contingent in-orbit performance payments for XM-3 and XM-4 based on expected operating performance
over their fifteen year design life. Boeing may also be entitled to an additional $10,000 if XM-4
continues to operate above baseline specifications during the five years beyond the satellites
fifteen-year design life.
Space Systems/Loral may be entitled to future in-orbit performance payments. As of June 30,
2011, we have accrued $11,659 and $21,450 related to contingent performance payments for FM-5 and
XM-5, respectively, based on expected operating performance over their fifteen-year design life.
Operating lease obligations. We have entered into cancelable and non-cancelable operating
leases for office space, equipment and terrestrial repeaters. 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 that have options to
renew. The effect of the rent holidays and rent concessions are recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term, including reasonably assured renewal periods.
Other. We have 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 agreements with other variable cost arrangements. These future costs are dependent upon many
factors, including subscriber growth, 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 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 in various lawsuits and 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 patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property. Our significant legal
proceedings are discussed under Item 1, Legal Proceedings in Part II, Other Information.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(All dollar amounts referenced in this Item 2 are in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports and documents published by us from time to time.
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.
Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors
discussed throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports and documents
published by us from time to time, particularly the risk factors described under Risk Factors in
Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results or Operations herein and
in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Among the significant factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements are:
|
|
|
our competitive position versus other forms of audio and video entertainment
including terrestrial radio, HD radio, Internet radio, mobile phones, iPods and other
MP3 devices, and emerging next-generation networks and technologies; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to retain subscribers and maintain our average monthly revenue per
subscriber; |
|
|
|
|
our dependence upon automakers and other third parties, such as manufacturers and
distributors of satellite radios, retailers and programming providers; |
|
|
|
|
the first quarter tragedy in Japan, which may have certain adverse effects on
automakers, radio manufacturers and other third parties that play a role in the supply
of satellite radios; |
|
|
|
|
our substantial indebtedness; and |
|
|
|
|
the useful life of our satellites, which, in most cases, are not insured. |
Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you
should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. In addition, any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no
obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or
otherwise. 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.
Executive Summary
We broadcast our music, sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather channels in the
United States on a subscription fee basis through two proprietary satellite radio systems.
Subscribers can also receive certain of our music and other channels over the Internet, including
through an application on Apple, Blackberry and Android-powered mobile devices.
We have agreements with every major automaker (OEMs) to offer satellite radios as factory-
or dealer-installed equipment in their vehicles. We also distribute our satellite radios through
retail locations nationwide and through our website. Satellite radio services are also offered to
customers of certain daily rental car companies.
As of June 30, 2011, we had 21,016,175 subscribers. Our subscriber totals include subscribers
under our regular pricing plans; discounted pricing plans; subscribers that have prepaid, including
payments either made or due from automakers and dealers for subscriptions included in the sale or
lease price of a vehicle; activated radios in daily rental fleet vehicles; certain subscribers to
our Internet services; and certain subscribers to our weather, traffic, data and video services.
Our primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of our customers subscribing on
an annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis. We offer discounts for prepaid and long-term
subscription plans, as well as discounts for multiple subscriptions on each platform. We also
derive revenue from activation and other subscription-related fees, the sale of advertising on
select non-music channels, the direct sale of satellite radios, components and accessories, and
other ancillary services, such as our Backseat TV, data and weather services.
23
In certain cases, automakers include a subscription to our radio services in the sale or lease
price of new and certified pre-owned vehicles. The length of these prepaid subscriptions varies
but is typically three to twelve months. In many cases, we receive subscription payments from
automakers in advance of the activation of our service. We also reimburse various automakers for
certain costs associated with satellite radios installed in their vehicles.
We also have an interest in the satellite radio services offered in Canada. In June 2011,
Canadian Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (CSR), the parent company of XM Canada, and SIRIUS Canada
completed a transaction to combine their operations (the Canada Merger). Following the Canada
Merger, we own approximately 38.0% of the equity of CSR, which operates as Sirius XM Canada.

Total Revenue
Subscriber Revenue includes subscription fees, activation and other fees and the effects of
rebates.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, subscriber revenue
was $639,642 and $601,630, respectively, an increase of 6%, or $38,012. The increase was
primarily attributable to an increase of 8% in daily weighted average subscribers and an
increase in sales of premium services, including Best of programming, data services
and streaming, partially offset by the impact of customer retention programs. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, subscriber revenue was
$1,262,080 and $1,181,139, respectively, an increase of 7%, or $80,941. The increase was
primarily attributable to an increase of 8% in daily weighted average subscribers and
an increase in sales of premium services, including Best of programming, data services
and streaming, partially offset by the impact of customer retention programs. |
The growth of future subscriber revenue will be dependent, among other things, upon the growth
of our subscriber base, conversion and churn rates, promotions, rebates offered to subscribers and
corresponding take-rates, plan mix, subscription prices and the identification of additional
revenue streams from subscribers.
Advertising Revenue includes the sale of advertising on our non-music channels, net of agency
fees. Agency fees are based on a contractual percentage of the gross advertising billing revenue.
24
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising revenue
was $18,227 and $15,797, respectively, an increase of 15%, or $2,430. The increase was
primarily due to more effective sales efforts and improvements in the national market
for advertising. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising revenue was
$34,785 and $30,323, respectively, an increase of 15%, or $4,462. The increase was
primarily due to more effective sales efforts and improvements in the national market
for advertising. |
Our advertising revenue is subject to fluctuation based on the effectiveness of our sales
efforts and the national economic environment. We expect advertising revenue to grow as advertisers
are attracted by the growth in our subscriber base and national advertising spend increases.
Equipment Revenue includes revenue and royalties from the sale of satellite radios, components
and accessories.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, equipment revenue
was $17,022 and $18,520, respectively, a decrease of 8%, or $1,498. The decrease was
driven by a decline in royalties from OEM installations due to the impact in the first
quarter of the tragedy in Japan on automakers. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, equipment revenue was
$32,889 and $32,802, respectively, an increase of $87. The increase was driven by
royalties from increased OEM installations, partially offset by the impact in the first
quarter of the tragedy in Japan on automakers. |
We expect equipment revenue to fluctuate based on OEM installations for which we receive
royalty payments for our technology and, to a lesser extent, on the volume and mix of equipment
sales in our direct to consumer business.
Other Revenue primarily includes the U.S. Music Royalty Fee and revenue from affiliates.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, other revenue was
$69,506 and $63,814, respectively, an increase of 9%, or $5,692. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee, which
was partially offset by a reduction to that fee, and increased royalty revenue from
Sirius Canada. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, other revenue was
$138,482 and $119,280, respectively, an increase of 16%, or $19,202. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee, which
was partially offset by a reduction to that fee, and increased royalty revenue from
Sirius Canada. |
Future other revenues will be dependent upon revenues from our Canadian affiliate and the
amount assessed for the U.S. Music Royalty Fee. We expect other revenue will grow as our
subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee grow and as our Canadian affiliate grows.
Operating Expenses
Revenue Share and Royalties include distribution and content provider revenue share,
advertising revenue share, residuals and broadcast and web streaming royalties. Residuals are
monthly fees paid based upon the number of subscribers using satellite radios purchased from
retailers. Advertising revenue share is recognized as a component of revenue share and royalties in
the period in which the advertising is broadcast.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue share and
royalties were $116,741 and $107,901, respectively, an increase of 8%, or $8,840 and
increased as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily attributable to a
17% increase in our revenues subject to royalty and/or revenue sharing arrangements and
a 7% increase in the statutory royalty rate for the performance of sound recordings,
partially offset by a $4,717 increase in the benefit to earnings from the amortization
of deferred credits on executory contracts initially recognized in purchase price
accounting associated with the Merger. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue share and
royalties were $223,670 and $206,085, respectively, an increase of 9%, or $17,585 and
remained flat as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily attributable
to a 16% increase in our revenues subject to royalty and/or revenue sharing arrangements
and a 7% increase in the statutory royalty rate for the performance of sound recordings,
partially offset by a $9,295 increase in the benefit to earnings from the amortization
of deferred credits on executory contracts initially recognized in purchase price
accounting associated with the Merger. |
25
We expect our revenue share and royalty costs to increase as our revenues grow, as we expand
our distribution of satellite radios through automakers, and as a result of statutory increases in
the royalty rate for the performance of sound recordings. Under the terms of the Copyright Royalty
Boards decision, we paid royalties of 7.5% and 7.0% of gross revenues, subject to certain
exclusions, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and will pay royalties
of 8.0% for 2012. The deferred credits on executory contracts initially recognized in purchase
price accounting associated with the Merger are expected to provide increasing benefits to revenue
share and royalties through the expiration of the acquired executory contracts, principally in 2012
and 2013.
Programming and Content includes costs to acquire, create and produce content and on-air
talent costs. We have entered into various agreements with third parties for music and non-music
programming that require us to pay license fees, share advertising revenue, purchase advertising on
media properties owned or controlled by the licensor and pay other guaranteed amounts.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, programming and
content expenses were $67,399 and $72,019, respectively, a decrease of 6%, or $4,620,
and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to
savings in content agreements, production costs and general operating costs, partially
offset by increases in personnel costs and a $1,915 reduction in the benefit to earnings
from purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger attributable to
the amortization of the deferred credit on acquired programming executory contracts. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, programming and content
expenses were $140,358 and $150,452, respectively, a decrease of 7%, or $10,094, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to savings in
content agreements, production costs and general operating costs, partially offset by
increases in personnel costs and a $4,239 reduction in the benefit to earnings from
purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger attributable to the
amortization of the deferred credit on acquired programming executory contracts. |
Based on our current programming offerings, we expect our programming and content expenses to
decrease as agreements expire and are renewed or replaced on more cost effective terms. The impact
of purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger attributable to the
amortization of the deferred credit on acquired programming executory contracts will continue to
decline, in absolute amount and as a percentage of reported programming and content costs, through
2013.
Customer Service and Billing includes costs associated with the operation of third party
customer service centers and our subscriber management systems as well as bad debt expense.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, customer service and
billing expenses were $62,592 and $58,414, respectively, an increase of 7%, or $4,178,
and remained flat as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of 8% in daily weighted average subscribers which drove
higher call volume, billing and collection costs, transaction fees and personnel costs,
partially offset by lower general operating costs. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, customer service and
billing expenses were $128,429 and $114,625, respectively, an increase of 12%, or
$13,804, and increased as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of 8% in daily weighted average subscribers which drove
higher call volume, billing and collection costs, transaction fees, bad debt expense and
personnel costs, partially offset by lower general operating costs. |
We expect our customer service and billing expenses to increase as our subscriber base grows
due to increased call center operating costs, transaction fees and bad debt expense.
Satellite and Transmission consists of costs associated with the operation and maintenance of
our satellites; satellite telemetry, tracking and control systems; terrestrial repeater networks;
satellite uplink facilities; and broadcast studios.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, satellite and
transmission expenses were $18,998 and $19,982, respectively, a decrease of 5%, or $984,
and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to
savings in repeater expenses and personnel costs. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, satellite and
transmission expenses were $37,558 and $40,100, respectively, a decrease of 6%, or
$2,542, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due
to savings in repeater expenses and personnel costs. |
We expect satellite and transmission expenses to remain relatively flat as decreasing
operating costs associated with our current in-orbit satellite fleet are offset by operating costs
incurred on new satellites and increasing costs as we enhance our terrestrial repeater network.
26
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.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of equipment
was $7,601 and $7,805, respectively, a decrease of 3%, or $204, and remained flat as a
percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to lower inventory
write-downs. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of equipment was
$14,006 and $15,724, respectively, a decrease of 11%, or $1,718, and remained flat as a
percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to lower inventory
write-downs and reduced costs to produce aftermarket radios. |
We expect cost of equipment to vary with changes in sales, supply chain management and
inventory valuations.
Subscriber Acquisition Costs include hardware subsidies paid to radio manufacturers,
distributors and automakers, including subsidies paid to automakers who include a satellite radio
and subscription to our service in the sale or lease price of a new vehicle; subsidies paid for
chip sets and certain other components used in manufacturing radios; device royalties for certain
radios; commissions paid to retailers and automakers as incentives to purchase, install and
activate satellite radios; product warranty obligations; and provisions for inventory allowances
attributable to inventory consumed in our OEM and retail distribution channels. The majority of
subscriber acquisition costs are incurred and expensed in advance of, or concurrent with, acquiring
a subscriber. Subscriber acquisition costs do not include advertising, loyalty payments to
distributors and dealers of satellite radios and revenue share payments to automakers and retailers
of satellite radios.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, subscriber
acquisition costs were $105,162 and $110,383, respectively, a decrease of 5%, or $5,221,
and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily a result of
improved OEM subsidy rates per vehicle and a $1,510 increase in the benefit to earnings from the
amortization of the deferred credit for acquired executory contracts recognized in
purchase price accounting associated with the Merger, partially offset by the 8%
increase in gross subscriber additions. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, subscriber acquisition
costs were $210,432 and $199,762, respectively, an increase of 5%, or $10,670, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily a result of the
13% increase in gross subscriber additions and higher subsidies related to the 16%
increase in OEM installations, partially offset by improved OEM subsidy rates per
vehicle and a $5,500 increase in the benefit to earnings from the amortization of the
deferred credit for acquired executory contracts recognized in purchase price accounting
associated with the Merger. |
We expect total subscriber acquisition costs to fluctuate with increases or decreases in OEM
installations and changes in our gross subscriber additions. Declines in the cost of subsidized
radio components will also impact total subscriber acquisition costs. The impact of purchase price
accounting adjustments associated with the Merger attributable to the amortization of the deferred
credit for acquired executory contracts will vary, in absolute amount and as a percentage of
reported subscriber acquisition costs, through the expiration of the acquired contracts, primarily
in 2013. We intend to continue to offer subsidies, commissions and other incentives to acquire
subscribers.
Sales and Marketing includes costs for advertising, media and production, including
promotional events and sponsorships; cooperative marketing; customer retention and personnel.
Cooperative marketing costs include fixed and variable payments to reimburse retailers and
automakers for the cost of advertising and other product awareness activities performed on our
behalf.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, sales and marketing
expenses were $51,442 and $56,177, respectively, a decrease of 8%, or $4,735, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to reductions
in consumer advertising and event marketing, partially offset by increased subscriber
communications and retention programs. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, sales and marketing
expenses were $99,261 and $105,294, respectively, a decrease of 6%, or $6,033, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to reductions
in consumer advertising and event marketing, partially offset by increased subscriber
communications and retention programs. |
We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as we increase advertising and promotional
initiatives to attract new subscribers in existing and new distribution channels, and launch and
expand programs to retain our existing subscribers and win-back former subscribers.
27
Engineering, Design and Development includes costs to develop chip sets and new products,
research and development for broadcast information systems and costs associated with the
incorporation of our radios into vehicles manufactured by automakers.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, engineering, design
and development expenses were $13,939 and $11,247, respectively, an increase of 24%, or
$2,692, but remained flat as a percentage of total revenue. The
increase was primarily due to higher aftermarket product development costs, partially
offset by lower share-based payment expenses. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, engineering, design and
development expenses were $25,074 and $22,684, respectively, an increase of 11%, or
$2,390, but remained flat as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily
due to higher aftermarket product development costs, partially offset by lower
share-based payment expenses. |
We expect engineering, design and development expenses to increase in future periods as we
develop our next generation chip sets and products.
General and Administrative includes rent and occupancy, finance, legal, human resources,
information technology and investor relations costs.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general and
administrative expenses were $60,479 and $59,166, respectively, an increase of 2%, or
$1,313, and remained flat as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in legal settlement costs, partially offset by lower personnel costs
and share-based payment expense. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general and
administrative expenses were $116,831 and $116,746, respectively, an increase of $85,
but decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was primarily due to higher
legal costs, including settlement costs, partially offset by lower personnel costs and
share-based payment expense. |
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods primarily as a
result of increased information technology and personnel costs to support the growth of our
business, as well as rising legal costs.
Depreciation and Amortization represents the systematic recognition in earnings of the
acquisition cost of assets used in operations, including our satellite constellations, property,
equipment and intangible assets, over their estimated service lives.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, depreciation and
amortization expense was $67,062 and $69,230, respectively, a decrease of 3%, or $2,168,
and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due to a
reduction in the amortization of subscriber relationships, partially offset by
depreciation recognized on additional assets placed in service. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, depreciation and
amortization expense was $135,462 and $139,495, respectively, a decrease of 3%, or
$4,033, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue. The decrease was primarily due
to a reduction in the amortization of subscriber relationships, partially offset by
depreciation recognized on additional assets placed in service. |
We expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase in future periods as we recognize
depreciation expense on our recently launched satellite, XM-5, and complete the construction and
launch of our FM-6 satellite, which will be partially offset by reduced depreciation and
amortization associated with the stepped-up basis in assets acquired in the Merger (including
intangible assets, satellites, property and equipment) through the end of their estimated service
lives, principally through 2017.
Restructuring, Impairments and Related Costs represents charges related to the re-organization
of our staff and restructuring of contracts, as well as charges related to the impairment of assets
when those costs are deemed to provide no future benefit.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2010, restructuring, impairments
and related costs were $1,803. The costs were related to the re-organization of our
staff and contract termination costs in the three months ended June 30, 2010 with no
such costs in 2011. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2010, restructuring, impairments and
related costs were $1,803. The costs were related to the re-organization of our staff
and contract termination costs in the six months ended June 30, 2010 with no such costs
in 2011. |
28
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense, Net of Amounts Capitalized, includes interest on outstanding debt, reduced
by interest capitalized in connection with the construction of our satellites and related launch
vehicles.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense was
$76,196 and $76,802, respectively, a decrease of $606. The decrease was primarily due
to the mix of outstanding debt with lower interest rates, partially offset by lower
capitalized interest related to the construction of our satellites and related launch
vehicles. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense was
$154,414 and $154,670, respectively, a decrease of $256. The decrease was primarily due
to the mix of outstanding debt with lower interest rates, partially offset by lower
capitalized interest related to the construction of our satellites and related launch
vehicles. |
We expect interest expense to decline as debt outstanding declines due to retirements at
maturity or call dates and through debt repurchases.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Credit Facilities, Net, includes losses incurred as a
result of the conversion and retirement of certain debt.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, loss on
extinguishment of debt and credit facilities, net, was $1,212 and $31,987, respectively,
a decrease of 96%, or $30,775. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the loss was
incurred on the partial repayment of our 3.25% Convertible Notes due 2011. During the
three months ended June 30, 2010, the loss was incurred on the repayment of SIRIUS
9.625% Senior Notes due 2013 and XMs 10% Senior PIK Secured Notes due 2011. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, loss on extinguishment
of debt and credit facilities, net, was $7,206 and $34,437, respectively, a decrease of
79%, or $27,231. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the loss was incurred on the
repayment of our 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2013 and the partial repayment of our
3.25% Convertible Notes due 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the loss
was incurred on the repayment of SIRIUS Senior Secured Term Loan due 2012 and 9.625%
Senior Notes due 2013 and XMs 10% Senior PIK Secured Notes due 2011. |
Interest and Investment Income (Loss) includes realized gains and losses, dividends, interest
income, our share of SIRIUS Canadas and XM Canadas net losses, the losses of our equity method
affiliate, Sirius XM Canada net losses and losses recorded from investments in those entities, as
well as debt instruments issued by XM Canada, when the fair value of those instruments falls below
carrying value and the decline is determined to be other than temporary.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest and
investment income was $80,182 and $378, respectively, an increase of $79,804. The
increase was attributable to a gain realized as a result of the Canada Merger. This
transaction resulted in the recognition of an $83,718 gain recorded in interest and
investment income. The gain was partially offset by our share of higher net losses at
XM Canada. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest and investment
income (loss) was $78,298 and ($2,892), respectively, an increase of $81,190. The
increase was attributable to a net gain realized as a result of the Canada Merger. This
transaction resulted in the recognition of an $83,718 gain recorded in interest and
investment income. The gain was partially offset by our share of higher net losses at
XM Canada. |
Income Taxes
Income Tax Expense primarily represents the deferred tax liability related to the difference
in accounting for our FCC licenses, which are amortized over 15 years for tax purposes but not
amortized for book purposes in accordance with GAAP and foreign withholding taxes on royalty
income.
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, income tax expense
was $2,620 and $1,466, respectively, an increase of 79%, or $1,154. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in foreign withholding taxes as a result of the Canada
Merger and an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions in various state
jurisdictions. |
|
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, income tax expense was
$4,192 and $2,633, respectively, an increase of 59%, or $1,559. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in foreign withholding taxes as a result of the Canada
Merger and an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions in various state
jurisdictions. |
29
We have previously disclosed the details of our deferred tax assets, including the amount of
our net tax loss carryforwards, the expiration dates thereof and the valuation allowance related to
our deferred tax assets. (See Note 14, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further details regarding our deferred tax
assets). In assessing the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, management regularly
considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the
recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position in accordance with the Income Tax Topic of
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Income Taxes Topic). The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. In accordance with the Income Taxes Topic, based upon the level of historical taxable
losses, we have maintained a deferred tax valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets
through June 30, 2011. In 2010, we had our first full year of pre-tax earnings yet continued to
generate taxable losses. The first half of 2011 has continued with positive earnings and has
generated taxable income. If such earnings trends continue, we may realize the benefits of all or
a significant portion of our net deferred tax assets in 2012 through a reduction in our deferred
tax valuation allowance. This would result in an income tax benefit that would be reflected in net
income. As of December 31, 2010, we had $3.5 billion of valuation allowances established against
the deferred tax assets.

Subscribers. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, subscribers were 21,016,175 and 19,527,448, an increase of 8%,
or 1,488,727. Self-pay subscribers were 17,170,306 and 16,077,714, respectively, an increase of 7%, or 1,092,592.
Paid promotional subscribers were 3,845,869 and 3,449,734, respectively, an increase of 11%, or 396,135. These
improvements were primarily driven by an increase in U.S. light vehicle sales, new vehicle penetration and
returning activations.
30
Average Self-pay Monthly Churn is derived by dividing the monthly average of self-pay
deactivations for the quarter by the average self-pay subscriber balance for the quarter. (See
accompanying footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more details.)
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our average self-pay
monthly churn rate was 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively. Churn increased 6% primarily due to
increases in deactivations due to changes in vehicle ownership, partially offset by
reductions in non-pay cancellation rates. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our average self-pay
monthly churn rate was 1.9%. |
Conversion Rate is the percentage of owners and lessees of new vehicles that receive our
service and convert to become self-paying subscribers after an initial promotional period. (See
accompanying footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more details.)
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our conversion rate
was 45.2% and 46.7%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the changing mix of
sales among auto manufacturers. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our conversion rate was
44.9% and 45.9%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the changing mix of
sales among auto manufacturers. |
Adjusted Results of Operations
In this section, we present certain financial performance measures that are not calculated and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (Non-GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures include: average monthly revenue per
subscriber, or ARPU; subscriber acquisition cost, or SAC, per gross subscriber addition; customer
service and billing expenses, per average subscriber; free cash flow; adjusted total revenue; and
adjusted EBITDA. These measures exclude the impact of certain purchase price accounting
adjustments. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures to manage our business, set operational goals
and as a basis for determining performance-based compensation for our employees.
The purchase price accounting adjustments include the elimination of the earnings benefit of
deferred revenue associated with the investment in XM Canada, the recognition of subscriber
revenues not recognized in purchase price accounting and the elimination of the earnings benefit of
deferred credits on executory contracts, which are primarily attributable to third party
arrangements with an OEM and programming providers.
Our adjusted EBITDA also reallocates share-based payment expense from functional operating
expense line items to a separate line within operating expenses. We believe the exclusion of
share-based payment expense from functional operating expenses is useful given the significant
variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value as determined by the
Black-Scholes-Merton model which varies based on assumptions used for the expected life, expected
stock price volatility and risk-free interest rates; the effect of which is unrelated to the
operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs.
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 historical and current 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 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 (used in) operating activities, is a financial
measure that is not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America. 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 (used in) 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 and projected 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.
We believe these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding
our financial condition and results of operations. We believe investors find these Non-GAAP
financial performance measures useful in evaluating our core trends because it provides a direct
view of our underlying contractual costs. We believe investors use our current and projected
adjusted EBITDA to estimate our current or prospective enterprise value and to make investment
decisions. By providing these Non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliations to the
most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing
31
investors understanding of our business and our results of operations. These 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. Please refer to the footnotes (pages 38 through
44) for a further discussion of such Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure.

Note: See pages 38 through 44 for footnotes.
ARPU is derived from total earned subscriber revenue, net advertising revenue and other
subscription-related revenue, net of purchase price accounting adjustments, divided by the number
of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the
period. (See accompanying footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more details.)
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, ARPU was $11.53 and
$11.81, respectively. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in subscriber
retention programs, the number of subscribers on OEM paid promotional plans and the decrease in
the U.S. Music Royalty rate, partially offset by an increase in sales of premium
services, including Best of programming, data services and streaming. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, ARPU was $11.53 and
$11.65, respectively. The decrease was driven primarily by an increase in subscriber
retention programs, the number of subscribers on promotional plans and the decrease in
the U.S. Music Royalty rate, partially offset by an increase in sales of premium
services, including Best of programming, data services and streaming. |
SAC, Per Gross Subscriber Addition is derived from subscriber acquisition costs and margins
from the direct sale of radios and accessories, excluding share-based payment expense and purchase
price accounting adjustments, divided by the number of gross subscriber additions for the period.
(See accompanying footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more details.)
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, SAC, per gross
subscriber addition was $54 and $59, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to an
8% increase in gross subscribers and lower per radio subsidy rates for certain OEMs. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, SAC, per gross
subscriber addition was $56 and $59, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a
13% increase in gross subscribers, lower per radio subsidy rates for certain OEMs and
growth in subscriber reactivations and royalties from radio manufacturers, partially
offset by an increase in OEM production with factory-installed satellite radios compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2010. |
Customer Service and Billing Expenses, Per Average Subscriber is derived from total customer
service and billing expenses, excluding share-based payment expense and purchase price accounting
adjustments, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average
number of subscribers for the period. (See accompanying footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more
details.)
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, customer service and
billing expenses, per average subscriber was $1.00 and $1.01, respectively. The decrease
was primarily due to the 8% growth in daily weighted average subscribers relative to an
increase of 7% in customer service and billing expenses due to higher call volume and
handle time per call and personnel costs. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, customer service and
billing expenses, per average subscriber was $1.04 and $1.00, respectively. The increase
was primarily due to higher call volume and handle time per |
32
|
|
|
call, an increase to bad
debt expense and personnel costs, partially offset by lower general operating costs and
the 8% growth in daily weighted average subscribers. |
Free Cash Flow includes the net cash provided by operations, additions to property
and equipment, merger related costs and restricted and other investment activity. (See accompanying
footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more details.)
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, free cash flow was
$165,433 and $108,331, respectively, an increase of $57,102. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased $16,706 to $195,381 for the three months ended June 30,
2011 compared to the $178,675 provided by operations for the three months ended June 30,
2010. Capital expenditures for property and equipment for the three months ended June
30, 2011 decreased $30,033 to $40,315 compared to $70,348 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010. Restricted and other investing activities
increased $10,363 for the three
months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities
was primarily the result of improved operating performance driving higher adjusted
EBITDA, cash received from the Canada Merger and higher
collections from subscribers and distributors. The decrease in capital expenditures for
the three months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of decreased satellite
construction and launch expenditures due to the launch in the fourth quarter of 2010 of
our XM-5 satellite. The increase in restricted and other investment activities was
driven by the return of capital resulting from the Canada Merger. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, free cash flow was
$148,559 and ($18,872), respectively, an increase of $167,431. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased $72,503 to $213,490 for the six months ended June 30,
2011 compared to the $140,987 provided by operations for the six months ended June 30,
2010. Capital expenditures for property and equipment for the six months ended June 30,
2011 decreased $94,015 to $75,298 compared to $169,313 for the six months ended June 30,
2010. Restricted and other investing activities increased $913 for the six months ended
June 30, 2011. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
the result of improved operating performance driving higher adjusted EBITDA, cash
received from the Canada Merger, higher collections from
subscribers and distributors, and the repayment in the first quarter of 2010 of
liabilities deferred in 2009. The decrease in capital expenditures for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of decreased satellite construction and
launch expenditures due to the launch in the fourth quarter of 2010 of our XM-5
satellite. The increase in restricted and other investment activities was driven by the
return of capital resulting from the Canada Merger, partially offset by proceeds from
the sale of investment securities in the six months ended June 30, 2010. |
Adjusted Total Revenue. Our adjusted total revenue includes the recognition of deferred
subscriber revenues acquired in the Merger that are not recognized in our results under purchase
price accounting and the elimination of the benefit in earnings from deferred revenue associated
with our investment in XM Canada acquired in the Merger. (See accompanying footnotes on pages 38
through 44 for more details.)

Three Months: Our adjusted total revenue increased 6%, or $41,775, in the three
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Subscriber
revenue increased 6%, or $38,012, in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in subscriber revenue was primarily
attributable to an 8% increase in daily weighted average subscribers and an increase in
sales of premium services, including Best of programming, data services and streaming.
Other revenue increased 9%, or $5,692, in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other revenue was driven by an
increase in subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee and increased royalty
revenue from Sirius Canada. The purchase price accounting impact to subscriber revenue
decreased $2,861 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2010. |

Six Months: Our adjusted total revenue increased 7%, or $98,774, in the six months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Subscriber revenue
increased 7%, or $80,941, in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in subscriber revenue was primarily
attributable to an 8%
increase in daily weighted average subscribers and an increase in sales of premium
services, including Best of programming, data services and streaming. Other revenue
increased 16%, or $19,202, in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other revenue was driven by an increase in
subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee and increased royalty revenue from
Sirius Canada. The purchase price accounting impact to subscriber revenue decreased
$5,918 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2010. |
Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest and investment income
(loss); interest expense, net of amounts capitalized; income tax expense and depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of other income and expense, losses on
extinguishment of debt as well as certain other charges, such as goodwill impairment;
restructuring, impairments and related costs; certain purchase price accounting adjustments and
share-based payment expense. (See accompanying footnotes on pages 38 through 44 for more details):
|
|
|
Three Months: For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, adjusted EBITDA was
$185,094 and $154,313, respectively, an increase of 20%, or $30,781. The increase was
primarily due to an increase of 6%, or $41,775, in adjusted revenues, partially offset
by an increase of 2%, or $10,994, in expenses included in adjusted EBITDA. The increase
in adjusted revenues was primarily due to the increase in our subscriber base and the
additional subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee. The increase in expenses
was primarily driven by higher revenue share and royalties expenses associated with
growth in revenues and increased customer service and billing expenses associated with
subscriber growth, partially offset by lower subscriber acquisition costs, sales and
marketing expenses, and programming and content costs. |
|
|
|
Six Months: For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, adjusted EBITDA was
$366,454 and $312,070, respectively, an increase of 17%, or $54,384. The increase was
primarily due to an increase of 7%, or $98,774 in adjusted revenues, partially offset
by an increase of 4%, or $44,390, in expenses included in adjusted EBITDA. The increase
in adjusted revenues was primarily due to the increase in our subscriber base and the
additional subscribers subject to the U.S. Music Royalty Fee. The increase in expenses
was primarily driven by higher revenue share and royalties expenses associated with
growth in revenues, increased customer service and billing expenses associated with
subscriber growth and higher subscriber acquisition costs related to the 13% increase in
gross additions, partially offset by lower programming and content costs and sales and
marketing expenses. |

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $72,503, or 51%, to $213,490 for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 from cash provided by operating activities of $140,987 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010. The primary drivers of our operating cash flow growth have been
improvements in profitability and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
|
|
|
Our net income was $251,440 and $56,870 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in our subscriber
revenues of $80,941, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. |
|
|
|
|
Adjustments to net income were ($3,345) and $132,705 for the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively. Significant components of adjustments to net income, and their
impact on cash flows from operating activities, include the following: |

Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to increase in future periods as we
recognize depreciation expense on our recently launched satellite, XM-5, and complete the
construction and launch of our FM-6 satellite.
Loss on extinguishment of debt and credit facilities, net, includes losses incurred as a
result of the conversion and retirement of certain debt instruments. Future charges related to the
retirement or conversions of debt are dependent upon many factors, including the conversion price
of debt or our ability to refinance or retire specific debt instruments.
Gain on merger of unconsolidated entities represents the gain on the Canada Merger which
closed in June 2011.
Share-based payment expense is expected to increase in future periods as we grant equity
awards to our employees and directors. Compensation expense for share-based awards is recorded in
the financial statements based on the fair value of the underlying equity awards. The fair value of
stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which is
subject to various assumptions including the market price of our stock, estimated forfeiture rates
of awards and the volatility of our stock price. The fair value of restricted shares and
restricted stock units is based on the market price of our stock at date of grant.
Other non-cash purchase price adjustments include liabilities recorded as a result of the
Merger related to executory contracts with an OEM and certain programming providers, as well as
amortization resulting from changes in the value of deferred revenue as a result of the Merger.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities reduced operating cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, $34,605 and $48,588, respectively. Significant changes
in operating assets and liabilities include the timing of collections from our customers, the
repayment of the XM Canada credit facility and the timing of payments to vendors and related
parties. As
we continue to grow our subscriber and revenue base, we expect that deferred revenue and
amounts due from customers and distributors will continue to increase. Amounts payable to
vendors are also expected to increase as our business grows. The timing of payments to vendors
and related parties are based on both contractual commitments and the terms and conditions of
each of our vendors. |
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures for property and
equipment. Capital expenditures have decreased following the successful launch of XM-5. We will
continue to incur significant costs to construct and launch our new satellite and improve our
terrestrial repeater network and broadcast and administrative infrastructure. We have entered into
various agreements to design, construct and launch satellites in the normal course of business.
Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities have generally been the result of the issuance and
repayment of long-term debt and related party debt and cash proceeds from equity issuances.
Proceeds from long-term debt, related party debt and equity issuances have been used to fund our
operations, construct and launch new satellites and invest in other infrastructure improvements.
Financings and Capital Requirements
We have historically financed our operations through the sale of debt and equity securities.
The Certificate of Designations for our Series B-1 Preferred Stock provides that, so long as
Liberty Media beneficially owns at least half of its initial equity investment, Liberty Medias
consent is required for certain actions, including the grant or issuance of our equity securities
and the incurrence of debt (other than, in general, debt incurred to refinance existing debt) in
amounts greater than $10,000 in any calendar year.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements
As disclosed in Note 14 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, as of June 30,
2011, we are contractually obligated to incur capital expenditures of approximately $57,826 and
$27,150 in 2011 and 2012, respectively, and an additional $53,272 over the next five years, the
majority of which is attributable to the construction and launch of our FM-6 satellite and related
launch vehicle.
Based upon our current plans, we believe that we have sufficient cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities to cover our estimated funding needs. We expect to fund operating expenses,
capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest payments, taxes and scheduled
maturities of our debt with existing cash and cash flow from operations, and we believe that we
will be able to generate sufficient revenues to meet our cash requirements.
Our ability to meet our debt and other obligations depends on our future operating performance
and on economic, financial, competitive and other factors. We continually review our operations for
opportunities to adjust the timing of expenditures to ensure that sufficient resources are
maintained. Our financial projections are based on assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but
contain significant uncertainties.
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 introduction of new features or services; significant new
or enhanced distribution arrangements; investments in infrastructure, such as satellites, equipment
or radio spectrum; and acquisitions, including acquisitions that are not directly related to our
satellite radio business.
Debt Covenants
The indentures governing our debt include restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2011, we were
in compliance with our debt covenants.
For a discussion of our Debt Covenants, refer to Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated
financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
36
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed in
Note 14 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results
of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan
In May 2009, our stockholders approved the Sirius XM Radio Inc. 2009 Long-Term Stock Incentive
Plan (the 2009 Plan). Employees, consultants and members of our board of directors are eligible
to receive awards under the 2009 Plan, which provides for the grant of stock options, restricted
stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards that the compensation committee of our
board of directors may deem appropriate. Vesting and other terms of stock-based awards are set
forth in the agreements with the individuals receiving the awards. Stock-based awards granted under
the 2009 Plan are generally subject to a vesting requirement. Stock-based awards generally expire
ten years from the date of grant. Each restricted stock unit entitles the holder to receive one
share of common stock upon vesting. As of June 30, 2011, approximately 271,986,000 shares of common
stock were available for future grants under the 2009 Plan.
Other Plans
We maintain four other share-based benefit plans the XM 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the
Amended and Restated Sirius Satellite Radio 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, the XM 1998 Shares
Award Plan and the XM Talent Option Plan. No further awards may be made under these plans.
Outstanding awards under these plans are being continued.
Contractual Cash Commitments
For a discussion of our Contractual Cash Commitments, refer to Note 14 to our unaudited
consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Related Party Transactions
For a discussion of Related Party Transactions, refer to Note 9 to our unaudited
consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, refer to Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to
our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2010.

Average self-pay monthly churn represents the monthly average of self-pay deactivations for
the quarter divided by the average number of self-pay subscribers for the quarter. |

|
We measure the percentage of owners and lessees of new vehicles that receive our service and
convert to become self-paying subscribers after the initial promotion period. We refer to this
as the conversion rate. At the time satellite radio enabled vehicles are sold or leased, the
owners or lessees generally receive trial subscriptions ranging from three to twelve months.
Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus 30 days to handle the
receipt and processing of payments. We measure conversion rate three months after the period
in which the trial service ends. |

ARPU is derived from total earned subscriber revenue, net advertising revenue and other
subscription-related revenue, net of purchase price accounting adjustments, divided by the
number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers
for the period. Other subscription-related revenue includes the U.S. Music Royalty Fee.
Purchase price accounting adjustments include the recognition of deferred subscriber revenues
not recognized in purchase price accounting associated with the Merger. ARPU is calculated as

Subscriber acquisition cost, per gross subscriber addition (or SAC, per gross subscriber
addition) is derived from subscriber acquisition costs and margins from the direct sale of
radios and accessories, excluding purchase price accounting adjustments, divided by the number
of gross subscriber additions for the period. Purchase price accounting adjustments associated
with the Merger include the elimination of the benefit of amortization of deferred credits on
executory contracts recognized at the Merger date attributable to an OEM. SAC, per gross

Customer service and billing expenses, per average subscriber, is derived from total
customer service and billing expenses, excluding share-based payment expense and purchase
price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger, divided by the number of months in
the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. We
believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense in our calculation of customer service
and billing expenses, per average subscriber, is useful given the significant variation in
expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of our common stock, the effect
of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the
components of our customer service and billing expenses. Purchase price accounting adjustments
associated with the Merger include the elimination of the benefit associated with incremental
share-based payment arrangements recognized at the Merger date. Customer service and billing
expenses, per average subscriber, is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for
subscriber and per subscriber amounts): |

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest and investment income (loss);
interest expense, net of amounts capitalized; taxes expense and depreciation and amortization.
We adjust EBITDA to remove the impact of other income and expense, loss on extinguishment of
debt as well as certain other charges discussed below. This measure is one of the primary
Non-GAAP financial measures on which we (i) evaluate the performance of our businesses, (ii)
base our internal budgets and (iii) compensate management. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP
financial performance measure that excludes (if applicable): (i) certain adjustments as a
result of the purchase price accounting for the Merger, (ii) goodwill impairment, (iii)
restructuring, impairments, and related costs, (iv) depreciation and amortization and (v)
share-based payment expense. The purchase price accounting adjustments include: (i) the
elimination of deferred revenue associated with the investment in XM Canada, (ii) recognition
of deferred subscriber revenues not recognized in purchase price accounting, and (iii)
elimination of the benefit of deferred credits on executory contracts, which are primarily
attributable to third party arrangements with an OEM and programming providers. 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
physical plant, capital structure and purchase price accounting. We believe investors find
this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing our results and comparing our operating
performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. We
believe investors use current and projected adjusted EBITDA to estimate our current and
prospective enterprise value and to make investment decisions. Because we fund and build-out
our satellite radio system through the periodic raising and expenditure of large amounts of
capital, our results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. The
exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense is useful given significant variation in
depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the potential variations in
estimated useful lives, all of which can vary widely across different industries or among
companies within the same industry. We believe the exclusion of restructuring, impairments and
related costs is useful given the nature of these expenses. We also believe the exclusion of
share-based payment expense is useful given the significant variation in expense that can
result from changes in the fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model which
varies based on assumptions used for the expected life, expected stock price volatility and
risk-free interest rates. |

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our
statement of operations of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense and certain
purchase price accounting for the Merger. 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 operations. 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 to the
adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows (in thousands): |

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS
As of June 30, 2011, we did not have any derivative financial instruments. We do not hold or
issue any free-standing derivatives. We hold investments in marketable securities consisting of
money market funds, and we also hold certificates of deposit and investments in debt and equity
securities of other entities. We classify our investments in marketable securities as
available-for-sale. These securities are consistent with the objectives in our investment policy.
The basic objectives of our investment policy are the preservation of capital, maintaining
sufficient liquidity to meet operating requirements and maximizing yield.
Our debt includes fixed rate instruments and the fair market value of our debt is sensitive to
changes in interest rates. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative
instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2011, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including Mel Karmazin, our Chief Executive Officer, and David J.
Frear, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 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 Securities Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011. 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 Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
State Consumer Investigations. A Multistate Working Group of 28 State Attorneys General, led
by the Attorney General of the State of Ohio, is investigating certain of our consumer practices.
The investigation focuses on practices relating to the cancellation of subscriptions; automatic
renewal of subscriptions; charging, billing, collecting, and refunding or crediting of payments
from consumers; and soliciting customers.
A separate investigation into our consumer practices is being conducted by the Attorney
General of the State of Florida. In addition, in September 2010, the Attorney General of the State
of Missouri commenced an action against us in Missouri Circuit Court, Twenty-Second Judicial
Circuit, St. Louis, Missouri, alleging violations of various consumer protection statutes,
including the Missouri Telemarketing No-Call List Act. The suit seeks, among other things, a
permanent injunction prohibiting us from making, or causing to be made, telephone solicitations to
our subscribers in the State of Missouri who are on Missouris no-call list, statutory penalties
and reimbursement of costs.
We are cooperating with these investigations and believe our consumer practices comply with
all applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
Carl Blessing et al. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. In May 2011, we reached an agreement to settle
the pending case entitled, Carl Blessing et al. v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. The settlement is
contingent upon approval by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Carl Blessing, a subscriber, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York. Mr. Blessing and several other plaintiffs purport to
represent all subscribers who were subject to: an increase in the price for additional-radio
subscriptions from $6.99 to $8.99; the imposition of the US Music Royalty Fee; and the elimination
of our free streaming internet service. The suit claims that the pricing changes show that our
merger with XM lessened competition or led to a monopoly in violation of the Clayton Act and that
the merger led to monopolization in violation of the Sherman Act. Earlier the Court dismissed the
plaintiffs claims for breach of contract and granted our motion for summary judgment as to various
state law claims.
As part of the settlement, we agreed that commencing on July 28, 2011, the date on which our
voluntary commitment not to raise rates on our basic satellite programming package lapsed, through
December 31, 2011, we will not: raise the price of our basic satellite radio service, our other
programming packages or our internet streaming services; increase our US Music Royalty Fee; or
decrease our multi-radio discount. Existing subscribers may renew their current subscription plans
at our current rates prior to
45
December 31, 2011. Former subscribers who terminated their
subscriptions after July 29, 2009 will be entitled to receive, at their
election, either: one month of our basic satellite radio service or one month of our Internet
streaming, at no charge. We have also agreed to pay the costs of providing notice to the plaintiff
class and not to oppose an application by counsel for the plaintiffs for reimbursement of up to $13
million of their fees and expenses. The settlement does not require us to make any other cash
payments to the plaintiff class or counsel to the plaintiffs.
In connection with the settlement, we did not admit any wrongdoing, any violation of any
statute or law, or the truth of any claims or allegations of the plaintiffs. Despite our belief
that the claims asserted by the plaintiffs were untrue, we entered into this settlement because we
believe it was in the best interest of our stockholders to avoid further legal expense and
inconvenience and eliminate the distraction of this protracted litigation.
One Twelve, Inc. and Don Buchwald v. Sirius XM Radio Inc. In March 2011, One Twelve, Inc.,
Howard Sterns production company, and Don Buchwald, Sterns agent, commenced an action against us
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The action alleges that, upon
the Merger, we failed to honor our obligations under the performance-based compensation provisions
of our prior agreement dated October 2004 with One Twelve and Buchwald, as agent; One Twelve and
Buchwald each assert a claim of breach of contract. More specifically, the complaint alleges that
subscribers to the XM Satellite Radio service should have been counted as Sirius subscribers
following the Merger for purposes of provisions entitling One Twelve and Buchwald to compensation
in the event that the number of Sirius subscribers exceeded the projected growth amounts of
Sirius subscribers by certain magnitudes specified in the 2004 agreement for each year of that
agreement. The suit seeks damages, plus interest and costs, in an amount to be determined. We
believe that the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend this action.
In July 2011, we filed a motion for summary judgment on the basis that the 2004 agreement is
unambiguous; specifically, that the term Sirius subscribers, as used in the 2004 agreement, does
not include subscribers to XM Satellite Radio following the merger and, as a result, One Twelve and
Buchwald were not entitled to additional compensation for exceeding projected growth amounts of
Sirius subscribers. The Court has scheduled oral argument on our motion for summary judgment for
September 2011.
Other Matters. In the ordinary course of business, we are a defendant in various lawsuits and
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 patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property. None of these actions
are, in our opinion, likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations.
