FY2025 loss reduction came mainly from a smaller cost and interest load, while liquidity still depended on financing.
With revenue still near$1.4B , the operating loss shrank to-$170M , so the year’s improvement came more from a lower expense base than from sales momentum. Interest expense also dropped sharply, which helps explain why cash burn eased even though the company was not yet back to operating profitability.

Starz Entertainment Corporation has an operating margin of -12.4%, meaning the company retains $-12 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 19/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -64.9% the prior year.
Starz Entertainment Corporation's revenue declined 1.6% year-over-year, from $1.4B to $1.4B. This contraction results in a growth score of 26/100.
Starz Entertainment Corporation has a moderate D/E ratio of 0.91. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 48/100.
Starz Entertainment Corporation's current ratio of 0.27 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 1/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.
While Starz Entertainment Corporation generated -$46.0M in operating cash flow, capex of $17.6M consumed most of it, leaving -$63.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 14/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Starz Entertainment Corporation generates a -27.6% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 20/100. This is up from -99.6% the prior year.
Starz Entertainment Corporation scores 0.30, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($410.0M) relative to total liabilities ($1.4B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.
Starz Entertainment Corporation passes 2 of 6 computable financial strength tests (3 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Starz Entertainment Corporation generates $0.22 in operating cash flow (-$46.0M OCF vs -$211.2M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
Starz Entertainment Corporation earns $-3.7 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$170.4M vs $45.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
