This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Starz’s post-reset operating repair is narrowing losses, but liquidity remains financing-dependent despite a much smaller asset base.
The operating-loss improvement from-$903.5M in FY2024 to-$170.4M in FY2025 occurred while revenue was broadly stable. That combination points to cost or charge normalization rather than a volume-led recovery.

Starz Entertainment Corp. (STRZ) reported an operating loss of $170.4M against $45.6M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations. This ratio divides operating income by interest expense. Ratios above 5x indicate strong debt-servicing ability, while ratios below 2x suggest the company may face difficulty meeting interest payments if earnings decline.
