STARZ Q4 Revenue of $322.8M Exceeds Expectations
Reports Q4 revenue $322.8M, consensus $322.16M. STARZ ended the quarter with 12.7 million U.S. Over-The-Top subscribers, representing a sequential increase of 370,000. Total U.S. subscribers were 17.6 million, an increase of 170,000 from the prior quarter. This increase was driven by interest in our scripted originals in the quarter, including Season 3 of Power Book IV: Force and Season 1 of Spartacus: House of Ashur. "Just nine months after our separation, we are beginning to see the full impact of operating as a standalone company. We exceeded all our financial guidance in 2025 and expect 2026 to be a positive financial inflection point for the company as we enter the year with record-high OTT subscribers and a balance sheet that outperformed our deleveraging expectations," said STARZ President and CEO Jeffrey Hirsch. "With a disciplined investment strategy, a more efficient operating model, and one of our strongest programming slates to date, we are poised to drive sustainable OTT revenue growth, expand profitability, and improve free cash flow as we execute against our long-term targets."
