QVC Group, Inc. (OTC: QVCAQ) is a video commerce and direct-to-consumer retail company that sells curated merchandise across television, digital streaming, and social media platforms. Revenue is generated transactionally through product sales, with customers given the option to purchase on installment credit terms. As of the 10-K filed April 15, 2026, the company operates the QVC and HSN brands, which were consolidated at QVC's Studio Park campus in West Chester, PA following the January 2025 closure of the St. Petersburg, FL campus. The company is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, with substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, driven by a net leverage ratio exceeding 4.5 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2025 and a Credit Facility scheduled to mature October 27, 2026. Inventories stood at $972 million as of December 31, 2025. Goodwill impairments totaled $1,465 million in FY2025 and $902 million in FY2024. Sales returns represented 15.0% of gross product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Revenue model

Transactional product sales through television broadcasts, digital streaming, and social media channels. Customers may pay via installment credit, with the company extending accounts receivable and recording an allowance for credit losses. Sales returns are netted against revenue and represented 15.0% of gross product revenue in FY2025.

Products and services
