Lionsgate Studios Revenue Surges 48% on Box Office Hits

Operating income reached $25.6 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, marking a significant turnaround from the $10.6 million loss recorded in the prior year. Despite the revenue gains, the company reported a net loss of $28.8 million from continuing operations, or $0.10 per diluted share. However, on an adjusted basis, Lionsgate posted a net income of $18.9 million, reflecting a more favorable view of the studio's underlying operational health.

CEO Jon Feltheimer pointed to the company's franchise-driven strategy as the catalyst for these results. The Motion Picture segment was the standout performer, doubling its revenue to $587.3 million and achieving a record $105 million in segment profit. In contrast, the Television Production segment saw revenue dip to $189.3 million due to the timing of episodic deliveries, though management expects to double scripted output throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Leveraging strong free cash flow, the studio also managed to reduce its debt leverage to 4.3x trailing 12-month adjusted OIBDA, down by nearly two turns since March.
