Lionsgate CFO James Barge confirmed on March 20, 2025, that the company is on track to finalize the separation of Lionsgate Studios and STARZ by mid-to-late April. This update provides clarity on the timeline for the long-anticipated strategic move.
Barge also announced that the standalone Lionsgate Studios has secured bank commitments for an $800 million revolving credit facility, which will become active upon the completion of the separation. This facility establishes a new capital structure for the independent studio.
The rationale behind the separation is to unlock shareholder value for both businesses, allowing them to operate with greater focus. The establishment of the credit facility is a key financial step in preparing Lionsgate Studios for its future as a standalone public entity.
