Forward guidance

Qurate Retail estimates that its average annual effective tax rate through 2022 will be in the range of 27-31% including federal, state and foreign taxes. This is elevated relative to prior years due to the expiration of certain of Qurate Retail’s green energy investment credits at the end of 2021.
