Lionsgate Revenue Rises on Box Office Rebound, but Quarterly Loss Persists

Elevated marketing costs and TV delivery timing offset gains from “The Housemaid” and “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.”

Overview

  • Lionsgate reported revenue of $724 million, up 18% year over year, with operating income of $85 million and a net loss of $46 million, or a loss of 16 cents per share.
  • Motion Picture revenue climbed 35% to $421 million driven by “The Housemaid” and “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t,” with film segment profit of $58.5 million pressured by higher P&A spend.
  • Television Production revenue fell 25% to $303 million with segment profit of $55.7 million, which the company attributed to the timing of episodic deliveries.
  • Trailing 12‑month library revenue reached a record $1.05 billion, marking a fifth consecutive quarter of record library performance.
  • Because “The Housemaid” opened Dec. 19, only 12 days of its box office were included in the quarter, and shares rose about 2% to roughly $8.98 as management said results keep FY26 targets on track and set up growth in FY27.
