STARZ raised its 2026 outlook for Adjusted OIBDA and unlevered free cash flow in August while reiterating its target of approximately 2.7x leverage by year-end, signaling improving confidence in the standalone business. (STARZ Investor Relations)
The company generated $73.2 million of operating cash flow and $80.7 million of unlevered free cash flow in Q1 2026, while accelerating its expected timeline for reaching a 20% Adjusted OIBDA margin to the second half of 2027. (STARZ Investor Relations)
Q2 2026 delivered positive year-over-year OTT revenue growth and $59.9 million of Adjusted OIBDA, suggesting that streaming monetization and cost discipline are beginning to offset pressure from the traditional pay-TV business. (STARZ Investor Relations)
STARZ remained loss-making in Q2 2026, reporting a $175.5 million operating loss, $28.2 million of negative operating cash flow, and negative $14.7 million of unlevered free cash flow; although restructuring-related, the result highlights execution volatility. (STARZ Investor Relations)
The company carried $625.1 million of debt and $565.5 million of net debt at June 30, 2026, with trailing leverage still at 2.9x, leaving equity holders exposed to refinancing and deleveraging risk. (STARZ Investor Relations)
STARZ adopted a limited-duration shareholder-protection rights agreement in March 2026, potentially reducing takeover flexibility and creating a governance overhang for investors. (STARZ SEC Filing)
