Guarantor Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information [Abstract] |
Guarantor Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information | Guarantor/Non-guarantor Subsidiary Financial Information The following information contains the condensed consolidating financial statements for the Company, the parent on a stand-alone basis (QVC, Inc.), the combined subsidiary guarantors (Affiliate Relations Holdings, Inc.; Affiliate Investment, Inc.; AMI 2, Inc.; ER Marks, Inc.; QVC International LLC; QVC Rocky Mount, Inc. and QVC San Antonio, LLC) and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries are majority-owned by QVC International LLC, which is a guarantor subsidiary. These condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company's financial information on the same basis of accounting as the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, such as management fees, royalty revenue and expense and interest income and expense. Goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to the subsidiaries based on management’s estimates. Certain costs have been partially allocated to all of the subsidiaries of the Company. The subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company. All guarantees are full and unconditional and are joint and several. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from its U.S. subsidiaries, including the guarantors, by dividend or loan. The Company has not presented separate notes and other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors as the Company has determined that such material information is available in the notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adjusted the previously reported consolidating financial statements to correctly classify transactions among QVC Inc., the combined subsidiary guarantors and the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries. The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of operations:
• | attributed net revenue of $54 million, cost of goods sold of $11 million and operating expenses of $8 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2013; and
• | recognized equal and offsetting increases in the equity in earnings of subsidiaries of QVC, Inc. with a corresponding elimination for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The adjustments to the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows:
• | attributed net cash provided by operating activities of $37 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries primarily related to revenue net of cost of goods sold and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013;
• | attributed net cash provided by operating activities of $2 million from QVC, Inc. to the combined subsidiary guarantors for the three months ended March 31, 2013;
• | decreased net cash provided by the investing activities of $35 million of QVC, Inc., decreased net cash provided by the investing activities of $2 million of the combined subsidiary guarantors and increased net cash provided by the investing activities of $4 million of the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries, all with equal and offsetting eliminations, for the three months ended March 31, 2013; and
• | increased net cash provided by the financing activities of $74 million of QVC, Inc. and decreased net cash used in the financing activities of $41 million of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, all with equal and offsetting eliminations, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The adjustments had no impact to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for any current and previously reported period.

The increase in tax expense of the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an unfavorable tax audit settlement of one of our European subsidiaries. This also resulted in a tax benefit for QVC, Inc. as a result of the corresponding foreign tax credit in the U.S. Condensed consolidating statements of operations - Adjusted
