SANTA MONICA, Calif.
and VANCOUVER, British
Columbia, Feb. 7, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- Global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A,
LGF.B) today reported revenue of $933.2 million and net income
attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $22.9 million, or
fully diluted earnings per share of $0.10, on 220.8 million
diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the quarter
ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders was
$78.2 million, or adjusted diluted
earnings per share of $0.35,
operating income was $86.8 million, and adjusted OIBDA was
$171.4 million.
The Company generated $273.7
million in free cash flow during the quarter driven by
working capital improvements.
Starz had a strong revenue and subscriber quarter, ending the
quarter with 25.1 million overall domestic subscribers, which was
consistent sequentially and up 1.1 million subscribers from the
prior year quarter. Starz achieved strong over-the-top (OTT)
subscriber growth for the sequential quarter as well as
year-over-year.
"We're pleased to report a strong quarter with significant free
cash flow and continued revenue and subscriber growth at Starz,"
said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon
Feltheimer. "As we refill our feature film and
television pipelines at a robust pace and take our integration of
Lionsgate and Starz to the next level, all signs are pointing to
strong growth in the year ahead."
Segment Results
Media Networks segment revenues increased to $366.8 million due to strong OTT subscriber
growth. Segment profits increased 9.6% to $134.1 million from the prior year quarter.
Overall domestic subscribers were sequentially consistent in the
quarter at 25.1 million and up 1.1 million year over year.
Motion Picture segment revenues were $362.6 million. Segment profits decreased by
19.9% to $43.5 million, reflecting
underperformance of certain titles in Fiscal 2019 compared to the
outperformance of Wonder in the prior year quarter.
Television Production segment revenues were $216.5 million in the quarter. Segment profits
were $21.2 million compared to
$27.8 million in the prior year
quarter, driven in part by timing of certain episodic deliveries
which moved out of Fiscal 2019.
Lionsgate senior management will hold its analyst and investor
conference call to discuss its fiscal 2019 third quarter results at
5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT this
afternoon, February 7th. Interested parties may
listen to the live webcast by visiting the events page on the
Lionsgate corporate website or via
https://services.choruscall.com/links/lgf190207dlPd8PVQ.html. A

LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable business segments: (1) Motion
Picture, (2) Television Production and (3) Media Networks.
Segment Reorganization. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2018, the Company
reorganized its operational reporting of the Television Production
segment to include the production and licensing to Starz Networks
of Starz original series (previously produced by and included in
the Media Networks segment) and the ancillary market distribution
of Starz original productions and licensed product (also previously
included in the Media Networks segment). This reorganization aligns
the segment presentation of the Starz original product to be
consistent with the Company's other television productions included
in the Television Production segment. This alignment of operational
reporting and business operations will allow our chief operating
decision maker to review all of the Company's television production
related activity in a consistent manner, and as part of one segment
(i.e., the Television Production segment). The changes resulting
from the segment reorganization are as follows: (i) the Television
Production segment includes licensing revenues from the licensing
of Starz original series productions to Starz Networks which are
eliminated in consolidation as intersegment transactions; and (ii)
the Television Production segment now includes the associated
ancillary market distribution of Starz original productions and
licensed product that were previously included in Content and Other
within the Media Networks segment. As a result of the segment
reorganization, the Company has presented prior period segment data
in a manner that conforms to the current period presentation.
Motion Picture. Motion Picture consists of the
development and production of feature films, acquisition of North
American and worldwide distribution rights, North American
theatrical, home entertainment and television distribution of
feature films produced and acquired, and worldwide licensing of
distribution rights to feature films produced and acquired.
Television Production. Television Production consists of
the development, production and worldwide distribution of
television productions including television series, television
movies and mini-series, and non-fiction programming. As described
under the Segment Reorganization section above, as of
April 1, 2018, Television Production
now includes the licensing of Starz original series productions to
Starz Networks and the ancillary market distribution of Starz
original productions and licensed product. Additionally, the
results of operations of 3 Arts Entertainment is included in the
Television Production segment from the acquisition date of
May 29, 2018.
Media Networks. Media Networks consists of (i) Starz
Networks, which includes the licensing of premium subscription
video programming to Distributors, and on a direct-to-consumer
basis and (ii) Streaming Services, which represents the Lionsgate
legacy start-up direct to consumer streaming services on its SVOD
platforms.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company's reportable
segments enter into transactions with one another. The most common
types of intersegment transactions include licensing motion
pictures or television programming (including Starz original
productions) from the Motion Picture and Television Production
segments to the Media Networks segment. While intersegment
transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine
segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses,
assets, or liabilities recognized by the segment that is the
counterparty to the transaction) are eliminated in consolidation
and, therefore, do not affect consolidated results.

LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This earnings release presents the following important
financial measures utilized by Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (the
"Company," "we," "us" or "our") that are not all
financial measures defined by generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures,
among other measures, to evaluate the operating performance of our
business. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not
a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with United States GAAP.
Adjusted OIBDA: Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating
income (loss) before adjusted depreciation and amortization
("OIBDA"), adjusted for adjusted share-based compensation
("adjusted SBC"), purchase accounting and related adjustments,
restructuring and other costs.
- Adjusted depreciation and amortization represents depreciation
and amortization as presented on our consolidated statement of
operations, less the depreciation and amortization related to the
amortization of purchase accounting and related adjustments
associated with recent acquisitions. Accordingly, the full impact
of the purchase accounting is included in the adjustment for
"purchase accounting and related adjustments", described
below.
- Adjusted share-based compensation represents share-based
compensation excluding the following items, when applicable: (i)
immediately vested stock awards granted as part of the Company's
annual bonus program issued in lieu of cash bonuses (which are,
when granted, included in segment or corporate general and
administrative expense), and (ii) the impact of the acceleration of
certain vesting schedules for equity awards pursuant to certain
severance arrangements, which are included in restructuring and
other expenses, when applicable.
- Restructuring and other includes restructuring and severance
costs, certain transaction and related costs, and certain unusual
items, when applicable.
- Purchase accounting and related adjustments primarily represent
the amortization of non-cash fair value adjustments to certain
assets acquired in recent acquisitions. These adjustments include
the accretion of the noncontrolling interest discount related to
Pilgrim Media Group and 3 Arts Entertainment, the amortization of
the recoupable portion of the purchase price and the expense
associated with the earned distributions related to 3 Arts
Entertainment, all of which are accounted for as compensation and
are included in general and administrative expense.
Adjusted OIBDA is calculated similar to how the Company defines
segment profit and manages and evaluates its segment operations.
Segment profit also excludes corporate general and administrative
expense.
Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as net cash
flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital
expenditures, plus or minus the net increase or decrease in
production loans, plus shareholder litigation settlement charges
and interest paid. The adjustment for the production loans is made
because the GAAP based cash flows from operations reflects a
non-cash reduction of cash flows for the cost of films and
television programs associated with production loans prior to the
time the Company actually pays for the film or television program.
The Company believes that it is more meaningful to reflect the
impact of the payment for these films and television programs in
its free cash flow when the payments are actually made. The
adjustment for shareholder litigation settlement and interest
charges paid is to exclude the non-recurring, one-time payment
included in cash flows from operating activities that is associated
with litigation matters arising from the Starz merger.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Lions Gate
Entertainment Corp. Shareholders: Adjusted net income (loss)
attributable to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. shareholders is
defined as net income (loss) attributable to Lions Gate
Entertainment Corp. shareholders, adjusted for share-based
compensation, purchase accounting and related adjustments,
restructuring and other items, loss on extinguishment of debt, and
unusual gains or losses, net of the tax effect of the adjustments
at the applicable blended statutory rate and net of the
impact of the adjustments on non-controlling interest.
Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS: Adjusted basic earnings
(loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss)
attributable to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. shareholders divided
by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is similar
to basic EPS but is adjusted for the effects of securities that are
diluted based on the level of adjusted net income (loss), similar
to GAAP.
LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Continued)
These measures are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in
Regulation G promulgated by the SEC and are in addition to, not a
substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with United States GAAP.
We use these non-GAAP measures, among other measures, to
evaluate the operating performance of our business. We believe
these measures provide useful information to investors regarding
our results of operations and cash flows before non-operating
items. Adjusted OIBDA is considered an important measure of the
Company's performance because this measure eliminates amounts that,
in management's opinion, do not necessarily reflect the fundamental
performance of the Company's businesses, are infrequent in
occurrence, and in some cases are non-cash expenses. Free Cash Flow
is considered an important measure of the Company's liquidity
because it provides information about the ability of the Company to
reduce net corporate debt, make strategic investments, dividends
and share repurchases. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to
Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. Shareholders and Adjusted EPS are
considered important measures of the Company's business operations
as, similar to Adjusted OIBDA, these measures eliminate amounts
that, in management's opinion, do not necessarily reflect the
fundamental performance of the Company's businesses.
These non-GAAP measures are commonly used in the entertainment
industry and by financial analysts and others who follow the
industry to measure operating performance. However, not all
companies calculate these measures in the same manner and the
measures as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures presented by other companies due to differences in the
methods of calculation and excluded items.
A general limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is
that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. These measures should be reviewed
in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are
not presented as alternative measures of operating income, cash
flow, net income (loss), or earnings (loss) per share as determined
in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the adjusted metrics
utilized to their corresponding GAAP metrics are provided
below.

Cash flows used in
operating activities for the three and nine months ended December
31, 2018 includes the net proceeds of approximately $131.1 million
from the monetization of trade accounts receivable (see Note 18 to
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the
Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2018).

|
Free cash flow
amounts for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 have been
adjusted to reflect the adoption of a new accounting standard in
the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which requires restricted cash to
be reported as part of cash and cash equivalents in the statement
of cash flows, and therefore the change in restricted cash is no
longer reported as an activity in the statement of cash flows. As a
result of adopting this standard, cash provided by operating
activities and therefore free cash flow was reduced by $2.8 million
for the nine months ended December 31, 2017.
