**LIONSGATE REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2023**

**Third Quarter Revenue was $1.0 Billion; Operating Income was $7.8 Million; Net Income Attributable to Lionsgate Shareholders was $16.6 Million or $0.07 Diluted Earnings Per Share**

**Adjusted OIBDA was $167.8 Million**

**Film & Television Library Revenue was a Record $845 Million for Trailing 12 Months**

**Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Lionsgate Shareholders was $59.3 Million or $0.26 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share**

**Operating Income was $88.6 Million Before Impact of Media Networks Restructuring Charge**

SANTA MONICA, CA, and VANCOUVER, BC, February 9, 2023 – Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) today reported third quarter (quarter ended December 31, 2022) revenue of $1.0 billion, operating income of $7.8 million and net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $16.6 million or $0.07 diluted net earnings per share on 230.1 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Adjusted net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders in the quarter was $59.3 million or $0.26 adjusted diluted net earnings per share on 230.1 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, with adjusted OIBDA of $167.8 million.

"We reported a strong financial quarter with record trailing 12-month library revenues affirming the value of our intellectual properties," said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. "We enter our fourth quarter with encouraging signs across all of our businesses: a rebounding domestic box office just as we bring our biggest slate in years to theatres; renewals of six key Lionsgate Television series during or immediately after the close of the quarter; and improved STARZ economics due to its international reorganization."

Revenue from Lionsgate's 17,000-title film and television library rose to a record $845 million for the trailing 12 months. Lionsgate ended the quarter with $425 million in available cash and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1.25 billion. During the quarter, the Company purchased $124 million of its bonds for $82 million, a $42 million reduction in its net debt. In addition, during the quarter the Company sold a partial interest in STARZPLAY Arabia and recognized a $43 million cash gain.

**Third Quarter Results**

**Segment Results**

Media Networks segment revenue of $380.3 million compared to $388.9 million in the prior year quarter. Segment revenue reflected growth in domestic streaming revenue and LIONSGATE+ (previously "STARZPLAY International") revenue partially offset by lower domestic linear revenue. Segment profit increased to $49.5 million compared to segment profit of $28.5 million in the prior year quarter, driven by lower domestic marketing costs and an improved international cost structure. Total global subscribers, including STARZPLAY Arabia (a non-consolidated equity method investee), decreased sequentially to 37.2 million, driven by linear and OTT pressures domestically. Excluding the international subscribers in the seven markets that LIONSGATE+ is exiting, total global subscribers were up 2.9% year-over-year but down sequentially to 28.7 million.

During the quarter, as part of our global assessment and curation of our Media Networks cost structure and content strategy, we recognized an $80.8 million restructuring charge primarily associated with our Domestic Media Networks' decision to remove certain series from its service.

The Studio Business, comprised of the Motion Picture and Television Production segments, reported revenue of $894.2 million, an increase of 25% from $713.9 million in the prior year quarter. Segment profit of $148.0 million increased by 71% from $86.8 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year increase in revenue and segment profit was driven primarily by strong library sales and the timing of scripted content deliveries.

Motion Picture segment revenue increased by 5% to $288.8 million compared to $275.3 million in the prior year quarter. Segment profit increased by 13% to $76.5 million compared to $67.5 million in the prior year quarter. Motion Picture revenue and segment profit growth represented strength in our multi-platform and direct-to-platform businesses, and segment profit growth also reflected favorable foreign exchange rates.

Television Production segment revenue increased by 38% to $605.4 million compared to $438.6 million in the prior year quarter. Segment profit increased by 270% to $71.5 million compared to $19.3 million in the prior year quarter. The revenue and segment profit increases were driven by growth in content deliveries to Media Networks and third parties as well as strength in library sales.

Lionsgate senior management will hold its analyst and investor conference call to discuss its fiscal 2023 third quarter results at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT this afternoon, February 9.Interested parties may listen to the live webcast by visiting the events page on the Lionsgate Investor Relations <u>website</u> or via <u>https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=rinWrWoV</u>.

**LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.**

**SEGMENT INFORMATION**

The Company's reportable segments have been determined based on the distinct nature of their operations, the Company's internal management structure, and the financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker.

The Company has three reportable business segments: (1) Motion Picture, (2) Television Production and (3) Media Networks. We refer to our Motion Picture and Television Production segments collectively as our Studio Business.

**Studio Business:**

*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. Television Production includes the licensing of Starz original series productions to Starz Networks and LIONSGATE+, and the ancillary market distribution of Starz original productions and licensed product. Additionally, the Television Production segment includes the results of operations of 3 Arts Entertainment.

**Media Networks Business:**

*Media Networks.* Media Networks consists of the following product lines (i) Starz Networks, which includes the domestic distribution of STARZ branded premium subscription video services through over-the-top ("OTT") platforms and U.S. multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs") including cable operators, satellite television providers and telecommunication companies (collectively, "Distributors") and on a direct-to-consumer basis through the Starz App and (ii) LIONSGATE+, which represents revenues primarily from the OTT distribution of the STARZ premium subscription video services outside of the U.S. (formerly STARZPLAY International).

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for the definition of Adjusted OIBDA and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The Company's primary measure of segment performance is segment profit. Segment profit is defined as gross contribution (revenues, less direct operating and distribution and marketing expense) less segment general and administration expenses. Segment profit excludes, when applicable, corporate general and administrative expense, restructuring and other costs, share-based compensation, certain programming and content charges as a result of changes in management and/or

programming and content strategy, certain charges related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, charges related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and purchase accounting and related adjustments. The Company believes the presentation of segment profit is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view segment performance in a manner similar to the primary method used by the Company's management and enables them to understand the fundamental performance of the Company's businesses.

**SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued)**

***Subscriber Data.*** The number of period-end service subscribers is a key metric which management uses to evaluate a non-ad supported subscription video service. We believe this key metric provides useful information to investors as a growing or decreasing subscriber base is a key indicator of the health of the overall business. Service subscribers may impact revenue differently depending on specific distribution agreements we have with our distributors which may include fixed fees, rates per basic video household or a rate per STARZ subscriber. The table below sets forth, for the periods presented, subscriptions to our Media Networks and STARZPLAY Arabia services.

**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.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**<u>Adjusted OIBDA:</u>** 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, certain charges (benefit) related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, certain programming and content charges as a result of management changes and/or changes in strategy, and unusual gains or losses (such as goodwill impairment and charges related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine), when applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted share-based compensation represents share-based compensation excluding 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restructuring and other includes restructuring and severance costs, certain transaction and other costs, and certain unusual items, when applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• COVID-19 related charges or benefit include incremental costs associated with the pausing and restarting of productions including paying/hiring certain cast and crew, maintaining idle facilities and equipment costs, and when applicable, certain motion picture and television impairments and development charges associated with changes in performance expectations or the feasibility of completing the project resulting from circumstances associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic, net of insurance recoveries, which are included in direct operating expense, when applicable. In addition, the costs include early or contractual marketing spends for film releases and events that have been canceled or delayed and will provide no economic benefit, which are included in distribution and marketing expense, when applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Programming and content charges include certain charges as a result of changes in management and/or changes in programming and content strategy, which are included in direct operating expenses, when applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

**<u>Adjusted Free Cash Flow</u>:** Free cash flow is typically defined as net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus or minus the net increase or decrease in production and related loans (which includes our production tax credit facility), plus or minus certain unusual or non-recurring items, such as insurance recoveries on prior shareholder litigation, proceeds from the termination of interest rate swaps, and payments on impaired content in territories to be exited.

The adjustment for the production and related loans, exclusive of our production tax credit facility, 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 prior to the time the Company pays for the film or television program through the payment of the associated production or related loan which occurs at or near completion of the production, or in some cases, over the period revenues and cash receipts are being generated.

The adjustment for the production tax credit facility is made to better reflect the timing of the cash requirements of the production, since a portion of the amounts expended initially are later refunded thru the receipt of the tax credit. The production tax credit facility reduces the timing difference between the payments for production cost and the receipt of the tax credit and thus reflects the cash cost of the film or television program at or near the time the film or television program is produced and completed.

------

The Company believes that it is more meaningful to reflect the impact of the payment for these films and television programs when the payments are made under the production loans and the receipt of the tax credit when the film is being produced in its Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

The adjustment for the payments on impaired content represents cash payments made on impaired content in territories to be exited under the LIONSGATE+ international restructuring. The adjustment is made because these cash payments relate to content in territories the Company is exiting, and therefore the cash payments are not reflective of the ongoing operations of the Company.

**<u>Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. Shareholders</u>:** 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, insurance recoveries on prior shareholder litigation and net gains or losses on investments and other, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, certain programming and content charges, COVID-19 related charges (benefit), and unusual gains or losses (such as goodwill impairment and charges related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine), when applicable, as described in the Adjusted OIBDA definition, net of the tax effect of the adjustments at the applicable blended statutory rate and net of the impact of the adjustments on noncontrolling interest and certain changes in our deferred tax valuation allowance.

**<u>Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS</u>**: 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.

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. Adjusted 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.

___________________

(1)For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, due to continued adverse macro and microeconomic conditions, including the competitive environment, continued inflationary trends and recessionary economies worldwide and its impact on the Company's growth in subscribers worldwide, the Company began implementing a plan to restructure its LIONSGATE+ business (formerly STARZPLAY International). This restructuring includes exiting the business in seven international territories (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux, the Nordics and Japan), and resulted in content impairment and severance charges included in restructuring and other as further discussed below. The Company's Starz domestic operations have also been impacted by these current market conditions, and the Company has revised its subscriber growth and forecasted cash flow assumptions and implemented certain cost-saving measures. Additionally, companies in the media and entertainment industry, and particularly those with significant streaming platforms, have experienced a decline in market valuations, and reflecting this industry trend, as well as potential capital market transactions, the market price of the Company's common shares had declined significantly through September 30, 2022, Accordingly, the Company updated its quantitative impairment assessment for all of its reporting units. In performing its quantitative impairment assessment, the fair value of the Company's reporting units was estimated by using a combination of discounted cash flow ("DCF") analyses and market-based valuation methodologies. Based on its quantitative impairment assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded the carrying values for all of its reporting units, except the Media Networks reporting unit which was previously disclosed as a reporting unit "at risk" of impairment. The analysis resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $1.475 billion in the second quarter ended September 30, 2022 related to the Company's Media Networks reporting unit goodwill, which is recorded in the "goodwill impairment" line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

(2)Adjusted depreciation and amortization represents depreciation and amortization as presented on our consolidated statements of operations less the depreciation and amortization related to the non-cash fair value adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets acquired in recent acquisitions which are included in the purchase accounting and related adjustments line item above, as shown in the table below:

_______________________

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Media Networks Restructuring:* For the second quarter ended September 30, 2022, as discussed above, the Company began a plan to restructure its LIONSGATE+ business (formerly STARZPLAY International). For the third quarter ended December 31, 2022, due to the continuing macro and microeconomic conditions which led to the LIONSGATE+ restructuring, the Company expanded its restructuring plan discussed above to identify additional cost-saving initiatives, which included a strategic review of content performance across Starz's domestic and international platforms, resulting in certain programming being removed from those platforms and written down to fair value. <br>As a result of these restructuring initiatives, the Company recorded content impairment charges associated with impairment of programming related to the territories being exited and individual content abandonment upon removal of certain titles from the Starz platforms related to the Media Networks segment in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 of $80.8 million and $293.8 million, respectively.<br>The Company is in the process of executing its LIONSGATE+ restructuring plan including exiting the territories discussed above and its strategic review of content performance for consideration of removal from the Company's various platforms and estimates it will incur additional charges ranging from approximately $100 million to $125 million related to certain contractual content commitments or programming content impairment charges, among other items, as the Company fully implements the plan. Of these total estimated future charges, the net future cash outlay is estimated to range from approximately $75 million to $100 million, which includes content commitments on content in territories being exited and estimates of payments on content that may be abandoned as part of the ongoing strategic review, as well as the incremental cost related to the restructuring. Of the content impairment charges recorded in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, approximately $85 million reflects the remaining amounts payable for this content. As the Company continues to fully implement the plan, including further strategic review of content performance, the Company may incur additional content impairment charges beyond the estimates provided. The Company expects the restructuring plan to be substantially completed by March 31, 2023.<br>*Other Impairments:* Amounts in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 also include an impairment of an operating lease right-of-use asset related to the Studio business and corporate facilities amounting to $5.8 million associated with a portion of a facility lease that will no longer be utilized by the Company. The impairment reflects a decline in market conditions since the inception of the lease impacting potential sublease opportunities, and represents the difference between the estimated fair value, which was determined based on the expected discounted future cash flows of the lease asset, and the carrying value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Severance costs were primarily related to restructuring activities and other cost-saving initiatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Amounts represent certain incremental general and administrative costs associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic, such as costs related to transitioning the Company to a remote-work environment, costs associated with return-to-office safety protocols, and other incremental general and administrative costs associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Transaction and other costs in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 reflect transaction, integration and legal costs associated with certain strategic transactions, and restructuring activities and also include costs and benefits associated with certain legal matters. In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, these amounts include a benefit of $11.0 million for a settlement of a legal matter related to the Media Networks segment.

(4)In connection with the disruptions associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic and measures to prevent its spread and mitigate its effects both domestically and internationally, and the related economic disruption, certain incremental costs were incurred and expensed, as presented in the table below: <br>

_______________________

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Amounts reflected in direct operating expense include incremental costs associated with the pausing and restarting of productions including paying/hiring certain cast and crew, maintaining idle facilities and equipment costs, net of insurance recoveries. In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, insurance recoveries exceeded the incremental costs expensed in the periods, resulting in a net benefit included in direct operating expense. The Company is in the process of seeking additional insurance recovery for some of these costs. The ultimate amount of insurance recovery cannot be estimated at this time.

(5)In the nine months ended December 31, 2022, in connection with certain management changes and changes in the theatrical marketplace in the Motion Picture segment, the Company wrote off approximately $7.2 million of development costs as a result of changes in strategy across its theatrical slate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 includes a net benefit of approximately $87.9 million and $77.0 million respectively, from the monetization of trade accounts receivable programs (three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 - net use of cash of approximately ($79.6) million and ($125.8) million, respectively).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps (a portion of which were considered hybrid instruments with a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative) and in exchange, received approximately $56.4 million. The $56.4 million received was classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as cash provided by operating activities of $188.7 million reflecting the amount received for the derivative portion of the terminated swaps, and a use of cash in financing activities of $134.5 million reflecting the pay down of the financing component of the terminated swaps (inclusive of payments made between April 1, 2022 and the termination date amounting to $3.2 million). Since the termination of the interest rate swaps was an unusual event, the Company is excluding the $188.7 million reflected in cash provided by operating activities from its adjusted free cash flow. The Company continues to have $1.7 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps as a cash flow hedge of its variable interest rate debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Represents cash payments made on impaired content in territories to be exited under the LIONSGATE+ international restructuring.
