Starz is fresh off its separation from Lionsgate and it's betting it can take on the likes of Netflix and HBO. The entertainment company added 530,000 streaming customers in the fourth quarter.

Starz reversed recent U.S. subscriber losses in its fiscal fourth quarter, but disclosed a restructuring charge of $177.4 million due to a “reassessment” of its content portfolio.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia, where Lionsgate is officially headquartered, has approved full separation of the company's studio business from Starz, the final step required to complete the split that's been in the works for years. Shareholders approved the operation last month.

Shareholders of Lions Gate Entertainment , the studio behind the "John Wick" movie franchise, have approved a plan to split its film and TV studio from the Starz business, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

Lions Gate Entertainment is set for a separation from Starz in April, potentially paving the way for a high-premium acquisition. The company's content library, with over $950 million in revenue, remains its biggest asset and attraction for potential buyers. Despite better-than-expected earnings, Lions Gate struggles with cash flow deficits and lacks a clear film strategy, especially post-Borderlands debacle.

LGF.A's third-quarter fiscal 2025 results reflect weakness in the Motion Picture and Media Networks segments.
