“All of the pieces of our business are coming together – our library has achieved a billion dollars in trailing 12-month revenue for three quarters in a row, more than half of our film, television and live entertainment slates are comprised of branded, repeatable properties, and massive hits like The Housemaid and Michael are strengthening our brand and increasing our forward visibility,” said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. “We enter fiscal 27 positioned to deliver the earnings power and value creation that our shareholders expect.”
Trailing 12-month library revenue increased 5% from the prior-year quarter to $1 billion.
Fourth Quarter Segment Results
Motion Picture segment revenue of $651.9 million and segment profit of $187.1 million grew by 23% and 39% year-over-year, respectively, driven by the theatrical and ancillary performance of The Housemaid, the ancillary performance of Now You See Me: Now You Don’t and strong library sales. The Housemaid grossed nearly $400 million at the worldwide box office, was a record-breaking performer on PVOD among films with comparable box office and became the top Pay One title ever on STARZ.
Television Production segment revenue of $254.6 million and segment profit of $30.5 million declined from the prior year quarter due to the timing of episodic deliveries. The company continues to anticipate doubling scripted deliveries in fiscal 2027 relative to fiscal 2026.
