Business segments

Sirius XM Holdings reports two business segments. **SiriusXM** provides satellite and streaming audio entertainment, including music, sports, news, talk, comedy and podcasts, along with connected-vehicle and data services and related advertising and other revenue. It generated $6.417 billion, approximately 75% of consolidated revenue, in fiscal 2025.[1]+2 **Pandora and Off-platform** encompasses Pandora’s streaming music services and off-platform audio advertising and related activities; it generated $2.141 billion, approximately 25% of consolidated revenue, in fiscal 2025.[21]+2

The percentages are calculated from reported segment revenue of $6.417 billion and $2.141 billion against consolidated revenue of $8.558 billion. The company also presents revenue by type, such as subscriber, advertising, equipment and other revenue; these are revenue categories, not additional business segments.[20][4] [1]+7

Company history

Sirius XM’s corporate lineage began with Satellite CD Radio, Inc., incorporated on May 17, 1990; it later became CD Radio Inc. and then Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. in 1999. XM’s predecessor, American Mobile Radio Corporation, became XM Radio, Inc.; XM launched service in 2001, followed by Sirius’s rollout in select markets in February 2002 and nationwide in July 2002.[23]+3

Sirius and XM agreed to merge in February 2007, and the combination was completed in July 2008. Sirius changed its name to Sirius XM Radio Inc. in August 2008. The companies subsequently completed further legal integration when XM Satellite Radio Holdings merged into XM Satellite Radio Inc. in 2010, followed by XM Satellite Radio Inc.’s merger into Sirius XM Radio Inc. in January 2011.[27]+2

The company broadened beyond satellite radio through its 2013 acquisition of connected-vehicle services business Agero and its 2019 acquisition of Pandora. In 2020 it acquired podcast platform Stitcher, following its acquisition of podcast technology company Simplecast.[30]+3

On September 9, 2024, Liberty Media completed the split-off of Liberty Sirius XM Holdings as part of a reorganization that established the present Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Jennifer C. Witz became CEO on January 1, 2021.[34]+2 [23]+21
