Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Due To/From LG Studios Business | Due To/From LG Studios Business Certain Transactions with Old Lionsgate As described in Note 1, prior to the Studio Separation, Old Lionsgate utilized a centralized approach to cash management. Cash generated by the Company or borrowed under certain debt obligations was routinely transferred into accounts managed by Old Lionsgate’s centralized treasury function which was then transferred to the Company or the LG Studios Business to fund operating activities when needed. Because of this centralized approach to cash management, financial transactions for cash movement, except for cash settlement of specific payables with Old Lionsgate, were accounted for through the net parent investment account. Settlement of payables and receivables with Old Lionsgate when due were also accounted for through the net parent investment account. Net parent investment is presented in the accompanying statements of equity. Settlements of amounts receivable and accounts payable when due through the net parent investment account are reflected as cash payments or receipts for the applicable operating transaction within operating activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows, with the net change in parent net investment included within financing activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows.

Amounts advanced by one party will be used to repay existing indebtedness owing to the other party thereunder, if any, such that at no time will amounts be owing in both directions. The net amount owing under the Intercompany Revolver, at any time, shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to adjusted term SOFR plus 1.75%. There was $81.6 million outstanding and due to LGCH1 at March 31, 2025. In connection with the Separation, all outstanding obligations in respect of principal, interest and fees under the Intercompany Revolver were repaid in full and all commitments thereunder were terminated. The cash flows related to the intercompany revolver are presented as increases and decreases in the New Lionsgate revolving credit facility on the accompanying statements of cash flows.
