The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While there are positive developments such as strong library revenue, expected Starz OTT growth, strategic tentpole releases, and new AI initiatives, these are balanced by significant challenges including disappointing theatrical releases, an adjusted OIBDA loss, restructuring efforts, and a market correction in TV production.

Company Guidance

During the Lionsgate Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Call, the company provided guidance reflecting both challenges and strategic plans for the future. CEO Jon Feltheimer reported a $949 million revenue and a $18 million adjusted OIBDA loss for the quarter, impacted by industry disruptions and underperformance in their film releases, particularly the movie "Borderlands." Despite these setbacks, the company remains optimistic, noting their diversified portfolio and strong library, which generated nearly $900 million in trailing 12-month revenue. Looking ahead, Lionsgate anticipates adjusted OIBDA for the fiscal year between $300 million and $320 million. Starz, a significant part of Lionsgate's operations, is on track for a $200 million segment profit, bolstered by a successful price increase and strong viewership figures, with "Power Book II Ghost" reaching 11.7 million multi-platform viewers. The company is also actively engaging in strategic developments, including a planned full separation of the Studio and Starz by the end of the calendar year, subject to regulatory approvals, and a new partnership with AI company Runway to explore innovative content creation approaches.

Strong Library Revenue

The company's library generated nearly $900 million in trailing 12-month revenue, highlighting the strength and reliability of this segment.

Starz OTT Subscriber Growth Expected

Starz is expected to return to OTT subscriber growth in the back half of the year, with a $200 million segment profit forecast for the fiscal year.

Strategic Tentpole Releases

The company is focusing on major releases such as the sixth Hunger Games movie, Ballerina, and Now You See Me III to drive future growth.

New Partnerships and AI Initiatives

Lionsgate announced a new partnership with AI research company Runway to create and train a model for use in filmmaking, indicating a strategic move towards technological integration.
