PR Newswire

SANTA MONICA, Calif. and VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) today reported revenue of $813.7 million and net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $51.1 million, or fully diluted earnings per share of $0.23, on 219.9 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders was $86.1 million, or adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.39, operating income was $89.4 million, and adjusted OIBDA was $173.7 million

"We're pleased to report a quarter with strong financial results in which all of our priorities were evident," said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer.  "During the quarter we took steps to monetize our film and television library, embraced innovative distribution strategies for our films, and acquired new properties while renewing others.  Most important, it was a quarter in which we used all of our resources to continue growing a unique, valuable and scalable global streaming platform at Starz."

Library revenue in the quarter grew to a record $219.0 million driven by strong demand for content and revenues from the recent syndication of Mad Men.

Segment Results

Media Networks segment revenue was flat from the prior year quarter at $367.3 million while segment profit increased 18.5% to $71.8 million driven by lower losses at STARZPLAY International.  Starz Networks domestic OTT subscribers grew to 7.4 million in the quarter and the Company's global OTT subscribers (including STARZ, STARZPLAY Arabia and PANTAYA) increased to 11.4 million in the quarter.

Motion Picture segment revenue decreased by 29.4% to $280.7 million compared to the prior year quarter and segment profit was $101.1 million. The performance in the Motion Picture segment reflects the impact of theatre closings related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, reduced theatrical P&A expenses and increased home entertainment and library revenues.

Television Production segment revenue decreased 30.1% to $195.7 million, primarily due to the timing of production schedules and episodic deliveries impacted by production delays related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, while segment profit increased 39.6% to $34.9 million reflecting the recent syndication of Mad Men.
