They appear in a number of places throughout this report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1A.

We caution you that forward-looking statements made in this report or anywhere else are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially and adversely from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of various important factors, including, but not limited to: the benefits of the Separation (as defined below); unexpected costs related to the Separation; the substantial investment of capital required to produce, market, and distribute programming; budget overruns; limitations imposed by our credit facilities and notes; unpredictability of the commercial success of our programming; risks related to acquisition and integration of future acquired businesses; the effects of dispositions of businesses or assets, including individual series or film libraries; the cost of defending our intellectual property; technological changes and other trends affecting the entertainment industry; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships; the impact of global pandemics on our business; weakness in the global economy and financial markets, including a recession and past and future bank failures; wars, terrorism and multiple international conflicts that could cause significant economic disruption and political and social instability; labor disruptions and strikes; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors found in our Form 10-K, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference, as updated by any risk factors found under Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" herein.
Any forward-looking statements which we make in this report speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Starz Entertainment Corp. (the "Company", "Starz", "we", "us", or "our") operates primarily in the U.S. and Canada and distributes the STARZ branded premium subscription video services on a direct-to-consumer over-the-top (“OTT”) basis through the Starz App and through wholesale OTT and multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”), including cable operators, satellite television providers and telecommunications companies (in the aggregate the “Starz Platform ”).
Separation
Prior to the Separation, as defined and further discussed below, the business of Starz Entertainment Corp. (the “Starz Business”) substantially consisted of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp’s (“Old Lionsgate” or “Parent”) Media Networks segment consisting of (i) Starz Networks, which includes the distribution of the Starz Platform, and (ii) International, which at that time primarily consisted of the OTT distribution of subscription video services outside the U.S. and Canada ("Lionsgate+"). Old Lionsgate also had a subsidiary Lionsgate Studios Corp. (formerly trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol LION) (“Legacy Lionsgate Studios”) that included the company’s motion picture and television studio operations (collectively referred to as the “LG Studios Business”).
On May 6, 2025, Old Lionsgate, through a series of transactions contemplated by an arrangement agreement dated as of January 29, 2025, as amended by an agreement, dated as of March 12, 2025 (as amended, the “Arrangement Agreement”), completed the separation of the LG Studios Business of Old Lionsgate from the Starz Business (the "Separation"). As a result of the Arrangement Agreement, the pre-transaction shareholders of Old Lionsgate own shares in two separately traded public companies: (1) Old Lionsgate, which was renamed “Starz Entertainment Corp.” and holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the Starz Business previously held by Old Lionsgate, and (2) Lionsgate Studios Holding Corp. (“New Lionsgate”), which was renamed “Lionsgate Studios Corp.” and holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the LG Studios Business previously held by Old Lionsgate, and is owned by Old Lionsgate shareholders and Legacy Lionsgate Studios shareholders.
To complete the Separation, pre-transaction shareholders of Old Lionsgate’s Class A common shares received one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) New Lionsgate common shares and one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) Starz Entertainment Corp. common shares while Old Lionsgate’s Class B common shares received one share of New Lionsgate common shares and one share of Starz Entertainment Corp.’s common shares. As a result of the steps described above, each of New Lionsgate and Starz have a single class of “one share, one vote” common shares. Starz Entertainment Corp.’s common shares were then consolidated on a 15-to-1 basis, such that every fifteen (15) Starz common shares were consolidated into one (1) Starz common share (the “Reverse Stock Split”). See Note 7, Capital Stock, for further details.
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, due to the relative significance of the LG Studios Business as compared to the Starz Business and the continued involvement of Old Lionsgate’s senior management with New Lionsgate following the completion of the Separation, New Lionsgate (which holds the LG Studios Business) is considered the accounting spinnor or divesting entity and Starz Entertainment Corp. (which holds the Starz Business) is considered the accounting spinnee or divested entity. As a result, Old Lionsgate was determined to be the accounting predecessor to New Lionsgate and the Starz Business's pre-Separation financial information has been prepared on a carve-out basis and are derived from Old Lionsgate’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. See Basis of Presentation below.
Starz Networks Strategic Content Review
During 2024 and 2025, in preparation for the Separation, Starz evaluated the programming on the Starz Platform and cancelled certain ordered programming, and identified certain other programming with limited strategic purpose, which was removed from the Starz Platform and abandoned by the Company.
As a new standalone company, management continues to strategically review its content and performance.
International Restructuring
In 2023 and 2024, Old Lionsgate began a plan to restructure and shut down its international LIONSGATE+ business. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, Old Lionsgate continued executing the restructuring plan, which included exiting all international territories as of May 2024 except Canada (included in the Starz Networks segment) and India and Southeast Asia (which are included in the International segment). The historical results of operations of international territories that were shut down are presented as discontinued operations in these financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations for further details.

STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Basis of Presentation
From and after the effective date of the Separation, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to the Separation, are now referred to as the “condensed consolidated financial statements”.
For periods prior to the Separation, the Starz Business operated as a segment of Old Lionsgate and not as a separate entity. The Company’s financial statements prior to the Separation were prepared on a carve-out basis and were derived from Old Lionsgate’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and reflect Starz Business’s combined historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Prior to the Separation, a management approach was applied to determine the carve-out basis of presentation. In using the management approach, considerations over how the business operates were utilized to identify historical operations that should be presented within the carve-out financial statements.
For periods subsequent to the Separation, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Starz Entertainment Corp. and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited combined financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited combined financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 as filed on June 26, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
All revenue and costs, as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Starz Business are included in the accompanying financial statements. Revenue and costs associated with the Starz Business are specifically identifiable in the accounting records maintained by Old Lionsgate and primarily represent the revenue and costs used for the determination of segment profit of the Media Networks segment of Old Lionsgate. In addition, these costs include an allocation of corporate general and administrative expense (inclusive of share-based compensation) which has been allocated to the Company as further discussed below.
In May 2024, Old Lionsgate consummated a series of transactions, by which the LG Studios Business became a separate publicly traded company (the “Studio Separation”). The LG Studios Business is substantially reflective of Old Lionsgate's Motion Pictures and Television Production segments together with a substantial portion of Old Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative expenses.
In May 2024, Starz entered into an intercompany revolving credit facility with Lionsgate Studios Corp. which was used to settle intercompany transactions prior to Separation.
Prior to the Studio Separation, Old Lionsgate utilized a centralized approach to cash management. Cash generated by the Starz Business was managed by Old Lionsgate’s centralized treasury function and cash was routinely transferred to the Starz Business or to the LG Studios Business to fund operating activities when needed. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Payables to and receivables from Old Lionsgate related to the Starz Business, were often settled through movement to the intercompany accounts between Old Lionsgate, the Starz Business and the LG Studios Business. Other than certain specific balances related to unsettled payables or receivables, the intercompany balances between the Starz Business and LG Studios Business were accounted for as parent net investment. See Note 15, Due To/From LG Studios Business, for further details.

STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Management believes the assumptions underlying our financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of general and administrative expenses from Old Lionsgate are reasonable. However, the allocations may not include all the actual expenses that would have been incurred by Starz had we been a standalone company during the periods presented. It is not practicable to estimate actual costs that would have been incurred had we been a standalone company and operated as an unaffiliated entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that might have been incurred had we been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, what corporate functions we might have performed directly or outsourced and strategic decisions we might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions. See Note 15, Due To/From LG Studios Business, for further details of the allocations included in the accompanying financial statements.
The issuer of Old Lionsgate's 5.5% senior notes due April 15, 2029 (the “5.5% Senior Notes”) was Starz Capital Holdings, LLC (previously known as Lions Gate Capital Holdings LLC), a Starz entity. The 5.5% Senior Notes were generally used as a method of financing Old Lionsgate's operations in totality and were not specifically identifiable to the LG Studios Business or the Starz Business. It is not practical to determine what the capital structure would have been historically for the Starz Business or the LG Studios Business prior to the Studio Separation as standalone companies; however, the 5.5% Senior Notes were issued by a subsidiary of Starz and are representative of the overall debt levels, that were expected for the Company following the completion of the Separation. In May 2024, the Starz Business issued $389.9 million aggregate principal amount of new 5.5% exchange notes due 2029 (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for $389.9 million of the existing 5.5% Senior Notes (the "Exchange Transaction"). As a result of the Exchange Transaction, the principal amount of the 5.5% Senior Notes outstanding was reduced to $325.1 million and total aggregate debt outstanding, including $300.0 million outstanding per Term Loan A, was $625.1 million. See Note 4, Debt, for further details. Upon completion of the Separation, the Exchange Notes became obligations solely of New Lionsgate. The remaining 5.5% Senior Notes remained with the Company upon completion of the Separation. A portion of Old Lionsgate's corporate debt, (the revolving credit facility, term loan A and term loan B, together referred to as the “Old Lionsgate Senior Credit Facilities”) had been assumed by the LG Studios Business under an intercompany note and accordingly, the Old Lionsgate Senior Credit Facilities and related interest expense are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Starz Credit Agreement") which provides for a $300.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility and a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. See Note 4, Debt, for further details.
Additional indebtedness directly related to the Company, including programming notes and a production loan, are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Old Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative functions and costs, which were retained within New Lionsgate, have historically been provided to both the Starz Business and the LG Studios Business. These functions and costs include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages for certain executives and other corporate officers related to executive oversight, investor relations, maintenance of corporate facilities, and other common administrative support functions, including corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting, audit and tax, corporate and other legal support functions, and certain information technology and human resources support functions. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Studio Separation, the accompanying financial statements of the Company include allocations of certain general and administrative expenses (inclusive of share-based compensation) from Old Lionsgate related to these corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Old Lionsgate.
Prior to the Studio Separation, Old Lionsgate established a shared services and overhead sharing agreement (the “Shared Services Agreement”). The Shared Services Agreement facilitates the allocation to the LG Studios Business of all corporate general and administrative expenses of Old Lionsgate, except for an amount of $10.0 million charged annually to the Starz Business. The $10.0 million charge of Old Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative expenses to the Starz Business pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement is designed to reflect the portion of corporate expenses reflective of the level of effort and costs incurred related to management oversight and services provided to the Starz Business following the Studio Separation. Prior to the Studio Separation, these expenses were allocated to the Starz Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of consolidated Old Lionsgate revenue, payroll expense or other measures considered to be a reasonable reflection of the historical utilization levels of these services.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Old Lionsgate also paid certain expenses on behalf of the Starz Business prior to the Separation such as certain rent expense, employee benefits, insurance and other administrative operating costs which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Starz Business also paid certain expenses on behalf of Old Lionsgate such as legal expenses, software development costs and severance. The settlement of reimbursable expenses between the Starz Business and the LG Studios Business have been accounted for as parent net investment. See Note 15, Due To/From LG Studios Business, for further detail of parent net investment included in the accompanying financial statements.
Change in Fiscal Year End
On May 8, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in Starz’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. The date of Starz’s next fiscal year end will be December 31, 2025. As a result of the change, the Company will file a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine-month transition period from April 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements relate to the intangible asset associated with the customer relationships with U.S. MVPDs ("Starz Traditional Affiliates"), which is amortized in the proportion that current period revenue bears to management’s estimate of future revenue over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset; estimates of future viewership used for the amortization of programming content; the allocation of costs to the Starz Business for certain corporate and shared service functions prior to Studio Separation; income taxes including the assessment of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; and impairment assessments for licensed program rights and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Segments
Following the Separation, Starz manages and reports its operating results through one reportable segment, Starz Networks, which includes our consolidated operations. The continuing operations outside the U.S. and Canada, which primarily consist of our operations in India and Southeast Asia, are reported as International. Effective April 1, 2025, we transferred our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate. Given that Starz and New Lionsgate were under common control at the time of the transfer, no gain or loss was recorded related to the transfer.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Internal-Use Software: In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, which modernizes the accounting guidance for internal-use software under ASC 350-40. The update eliminates the previous “project stage” model and introduces a principles-based framework that better aligns with contemporary software development practices. Under the new guidance, entities may begin capitalizing internal-use software costs when two conditions are met: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose (the “probable-to-complete” threshold). The ASU also consolidates website development cost guidance into ASC 350-40 and clarifies disclosure requirements for capitalized software costs. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which expanded income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities, on an annual basis, to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, this guidance required all public business entities to disaggregate disclosures by jurisdiction on the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and therefore will be effective beginning with the Company’s financial statements issued for the calendar year ending December 31, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Income Statement: In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and therefore will be effective beginning with the Company’s financial statements issued for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. The disclosures required under the guidance can be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
2. Discontinued Operations
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company announced its plans to restructure its LIONSGATE+ business. As a result, the Company made the strategic decision to shut down the LIONSGATE+ service in Europe (outside the United Kingdom), Latin America and the United Kingdom (the "discontinued operations"). The Company entered into agreements to transfer subscribers of the services in these territories to a third party, and the shutdowns were completed in May 2024. Management of Canadian operations was transferred to the Starz Networks segment and the Company's continuing international operations in India and Southeast Asia were reported as International in the accompanying financial statements until the transfer of the India and Southeast Asia operations to New Lionsgate, effective April 1, 2025.

Starz Credit Agreement
On May 6, 2025, in connection with the consummation of the Separation, Starz entered into a new credit agreement with Starz Capital Holdings LLC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), the guarantors referred to therein, the lenders referred to therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Starz Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $300.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility ("Term Loan A") and (ii) a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The Starz Credit Agreement and commitments thereunder will mature on the date that is the earlier of five years after the closing date of the facility and 135 days prior to the 5.5% Senior Notes maturity date. Borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either Term SOFR or a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin initially of 3% for Term SOFR loans and 2% for base rate loans. From and after September 30, 2025, the applicable margin varies based on the Borrower’s Net Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Repayments under the Term Loan A are as follows and assumes a maturity date of December 1, 2028 (135 days prior to the 5.5% Senior Notes maturity date):

Changes Upon Completion of the Separation. On May 6, 2025, in connection with the completion of the Separation, Starz was released and discharged from all obligations in connection with the Exchange Notes by way of supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture"). Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, LGTV, a subsidiary of New Lionsgate, agreed to assume and perform as primary obligor all obligations of the initial issuer under the Exchange Notes.
5. Programming Related Obligations
Programming related obligations include programming notes, which represent individual unsecured loans for the licensing of film and television programs. As of September 30, 2025, outstanding programming notes had a balance of $88.2 million and had contractual repayment dates ranging from October 2025 through November 2025, and incurred SOFR-based interest at a weighted average rate of 8.8%. There were $90.7 million of programming notes outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
In addition to programming notes, programming-related obligations include a secured production loan with an outstanding balance of $16.2 million as of September 30, 2025, due in 2027. The production loan incurred SOFR-based interest of 6.5%. This loan is recorded within Other Liabilities in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. There were no production loan amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Production loans represent financing arrangements for individual or multiple film and television titles produced by the Company. These loans are secured by collateral consisting of the underlying intellectual property rights (e.g., the related film or television program).

6. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value
Accounting guidance and standards about fair value define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance and standards establish three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
The following table sets forth the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s outstanding debt, programming notes, production loans and derivatives:

| September 30, 2025 |  | March 31, 2025
| (Amounts in millions) |  | (Amounts in millions)

The above table does not include estimates of variable consideration for transactions involving sales or usage-based royalties in exchange for licenses of intellectual property.
Accounts Receivable and Deferred Revenue
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of accounts receivable and deferred revenue. See the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets or Note 14, Additional Financial Information, for accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances at September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable is presented net of a provision for credit losses. The Company estimates provisions for accounts receivable based on historical experience for the respective risk categories and current and future expected economic conditions. To assess collectability, the Company analyzes market trends, economic conditions, the aging of receivables and customer specific risks, and records a provision for estimated credit losses expected over the lifetime of the receivables in direct operating expense.
The Company monitors its credit exposure through active review of customers' financial condition, aging of receivable balances, historical collection trends, and expectations about relevant future events that may significantly affect collectability. The Company generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.
Credit Risk. Concentration of credit risk with the Company’s customers is limited due to the Company’s customer base and the diversity of its sales throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and maintains a provision for potential credit losses.
Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to subscribers to the Starz App, who are billed in advance of the start of their monthly or multi-month membership. Revenue is recognized ratably over each applicable membership period when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Deferred revenue consists primarily of customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Revenue of $7.7 million and $33.7 million, respectively, was recognized during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, related to the balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2025.

9. Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other includes restructuring costs, and certain transaction-related and other expenses. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company also incurred certain other unusual charges and benefits. The following table sets forth restructuring and other and these other unusual charges:

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended

| $ | 5.0 |  |  | $ | (1.1) |  |  | $ | 11.4 |  |  | $ | (1.7) |

10. Income Taxes
The income tax provision for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was calculated by estimating the Company’s annual effective tax rate (estimated annual tax provision divided by estimated annual income before income taxes), and then applying the effective tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes for the period, plus or minus the tax effects of items that relate discretely to the period, if any. The Starz Business’s U.S. operations and certain of its non-U.S. operations historically have been included in the income tax returns of Lionsgate or its subsidiaries that may not be part of the Starz Business. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, income taxes were calculated as if the Starz Business files income tax returns on a standalone basis, including assumptions regarding the allocation of consolidated tax attributes.
The Company’s income tax provision differs from the federal statutory income tax rate applied to income (loss) before taxes due to the mix of earnings generated across the various jurisdictions in which operations are conducted. The Company’s income tax provision for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were impacted by changes in the valuation allowances against certain U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets, net of applicable deferred tax liabilities.
The Company’s income tax provision can be affected by many factors, including the overall level of pre-tax income, the mix of pre-tax income generated across the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, changes in tax laws and regulations in those jurisdictions, changes in uncertain tax positions, changes in valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets, tax planning strategies available to the Company, and other discrete items.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, current expensing of domestic research and development (“R&D”) costs, and the use of EBITDA as the measure in computing the limitation on business interest expense deductions. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, the effects of new tax legislation are reflected in the period of enactment. Accordingly, during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized the impact of these provisions, including electing to expense all current and previously capitalized R&D costs and applying 100% bonus depreciation on eligible fixed asset additions. The Company also adopted the new EBITDA-based limitation in calculating the deductibility of business interest expense, which represents the most material impact of the OBBBA to the Company. The enactment did not change the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate. The Company continues to evaluate the implications of the OBBBA and other tax law changes on its current and deferred tax positions.
There were no other material discrete income tax items or significant changes in uncertain tax positions during the six months ended September 30, 2025.

14. Additional Financial Information
The following tables present supplemental information related to the accompanying financial statements.
Accounts Receivable Monetization
Under the Company's accounts receivable monetization programs, the Company has entered into an agreement to monetize certain of its trade accounts receivable directly with a third-party purchaser (historically, the Company entered into individual agreements), as further described below.
Under the accounts receivable monetization programs, the Company transfers receivables to purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds, and the Company continues to service the receivables for the purchasers. The third-party purchasers have no recourse to other assets of the Company in the event of non-payment by the customers. The Company accounts for the transfers of these receivables as a sale, removes (derecognizes) the carrying amount of the receivables from its balance sheets and classifies the proceeds received as cash flows provided by operating activities in the statements its cash flows.
The Company records a loss on the sale of these receivables reflecting the net proceeds received (net of any costs incurred), less the carrying amount of the receivables transferred. The loss is reflected in other expense on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table sets forth a summary of the receivables transferred:

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| September 30, |  | September 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2024
| (Amounts in millions)
Carrying value of receivables transferred and derecognized | $ | 134.0 |  |  | $ | 205.2 |  |  | $ | 345.4 |  |  | $ | 411.5 |
Net cash proceeds received from third party purchasers | 132.3 |  |  | 203.2 |  |  | 341.7 |  |  | 407.8 |
Loss recorded related to transfers of receivables | 1.7 |  |  | 2.0 |  |  | 3.5 |  |  | 3.7 |

At September 30, 2025, the outstanding amount of receivables derecognized from the Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, but which the Company continues to service, related to the Company's agreement to monetize trade accounts receivable was $131.9 million and was $144.2 million at March 31, 2025.
Other Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities
The composition of the Company’s other accrued liabilities (current) and other liabilities (non-current) is as follows:

15. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, with the net change in parent net investment included within financing activities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Intercompany Revolver: On May 13, 2024, LGAC International LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Lionsgate Studios (“LGAC International”) and Lions Gate Capital Holdings 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“LGCH1”) (which was renamed Starz Capital Holdings 1, Inc. at Separation), entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Intercompany Revolver”), pursuant to which LGAC International and LGCH1 agreed to make revolving loans to each other from time to time, provided that the net amount owing by one party to the other at any particular time may not exceed $150.0 million. Amounts advanced by one party were used to repay existing indebtedness owed to the other party thereunder, if any, such that at no time will amounts be owed in both directions. The net amount outstanding under the Intercompany Revolver, at any time, bore 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 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Prior to the Separation, in the normal course of business, the Starz Business entered into transactions with Old Lionsgate and the LG Studios Business which included the following:
Licensing of content from Lionsgate: The Starz Business licensed motion pictures and television programming (including Starz original productions) from the LG Studios Business. The license fees incurred generally were due upon delivery or due at a point in time following the first showing. Prior to the Studio Separation, license fees related to Starz original programs were settled with the LG Studios Business through parent net investment. License fees related to library and output content were generally settled in cash. License fees payable, prior to the Separation, not yet due and not yet paid to the LG Studios Business, are reflected in Due to LG Studios Business on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Corporate expense allocations: As previously described in Note 1, for the periods prior to the Studio Separation the accompanying financial statements include allocations of general and administrative expenses from Old Lionsgate related to certain corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Old Lionsgate, including, but not limited to, executive oversight, accounting, tax, legal, human resources, o ccupancy, and other shared services. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, corporate expense allocations amounted to $2.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively.
Operating expense reimbursement: As previously described in Note 1, for the periods prior to the Separation, the LG Studios Business paid certain expenses on behalf of the Company such as certain rent expense, employee benefits, insurance and other administrative operating costs. The Company also paid certain expenses on behalf of the LG Studios Business such as legal expenses, software development costs and severance. Those expenditures were reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the LG Studios Business as applicable.
Share-based compensation: For the periods prior to the Separation, Old Lionsgate allocated to the Company share-based compensation related to the Company's employees. In addition, prior to Separation, Old Lionsgate allocated a proportionate amount of its share-based compensation related to the corporate functions provided by Old Lionsgate to the Company.

16. Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in certain claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.
The Company establishes an accrued liability for claims and legal proceedings when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred.
Claims and legal proceedings may be brought against the Company without merit, are inherently uncertain, are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view on these matters may change as events unfold. Reasonably possible losses, if any, are not estimable, however, based on our current understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, as of September 30, 2025, the Company is not a party to any pending claims or legal proceedings for which management believes the resolution would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and is not aware of any other claims that it believes could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
For additional detail regarding certain legal proceedings in which Starz is involved, Starz provides the following information:
As described in Note 1, the Starz Business completed the Exchange Transaction in May 2024. On August 27, 2024, purported holders of 5.5% Senior Notes (prior to the Separation) filed a complaint in New York State court asserting claims for breach of certain contractual provisions and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in connection with the Exchange Transaction and entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 10 to the indenture governing the 5.5% Senior Notes (the “Indenture”). The main basis for these claims is that Supplemental Indenture No. 10 allegedly implicated certain provisions of the Indenture that require consent of each affected holder for certain types of waivers, amendments, and supplements to the Indenture. The relief sought includes a request for a declaration that Supplemental Indenture No. 10 and the associated exchange transaction are null and void. On September 13, 2024, another purported holder sought to intervene as a plaintiff in the same suit asserting nearly identical claims, which intervention was granted on October 11, 2024. The second holder subsequently added additional theories and brought claims against other parties. Starz filed a motion to dismiss the claims. On May 23, 2025, both plaintiffs amended their complaints in view of the completion of the Separation, and on June 10, 2025, Starz moved to dismiss the amended complaints. Oral arguments on this motion occurred on September 22, 2025 and a ruling is pending.
Although Starz believes that the existing allegations are without merit, there can be no assurance that the plaintiffs will not be successful in obtaining relief sought in their amended complaints. If the plaintiffs are successful, they may issue a notice of default to the trustee of the 5.5% Senior Notes and seek accelerated payments for amounts due thereunder. These actions may result in an outcome that could have a material adverse impact on Starz’s business, operations and financial conditions as well as our stakeholders, as any such action could require payments on the 5.5% Notes earlier than expected.
The Company is party to certain arbitration claims arising from alleged violation of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”) and analogous state laws relating to the Company’s alleged use of a third-party pixel on the website for its subscription video service. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not presently believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Legal proceedings can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Even if Starz is successful in defending against such claims, it may expend significant management time and attention and funds to defend against such claims.
The Company is involved in legal proceedings not listed herein, but as previously stated, it does not presently consider the matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. The Company’s view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the proceedings unfold.
17. Subsequent Events
There were no subsequent events that occurred after September 30, 2025, through the date of this filing that would require disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Prior to the Separation, as further discussed below, the business of Starz Entertainment Corp. (the "Company", "we", "us" or "our"), substantially consisted of the Starz Business of Old Lionsgate’s Media Networks segment, consisting of (i) Starz Networks, which includes the distribution in the U.S. and Canada of STARZ branded premium subscription video services through over-the-top (“OTT”) streaming platforms and distributors, on a direct-to-consumer basis through the Starz App and through wholesale U.S. and Canada multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”), including cable operators, satellite television providers and telecommunications companies (in the aggregate the “Starz Platform”), and (ii) International, which consisted of the OTT distribution of subscription video services outside the U.S. and Canada.
See Note 1, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, for further details regarding the Separation, International Restructuring, and Basis of Presentation of the Company and the accompanying financial statements.
Separation
Prior to the Separation, as defined and further discussed below, the business of Starz Entertainment Corp. (the “Starz Business”) substantially consisted of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp’s (“Old Lionsgate” or “Parent”) Media Networks segment consisting of (i) Starz Networks, which includes the distribution of the Starz Platform, and (ii) International, which at that time primarily consisted of the OTT distribution of subscription video services outside the U.S. and Canada ("Lionsgate+"). Old Lionsgate also had a subsidiary Lionsgate Studios Corp. (formerly trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol LION) (“Legacy Lionsgate Studios”) that included the company’s motion picture and television studio operations (collectively referred to as the “LG Studios Business”).
On May 6, 2025, Old Lionsgate, through a series of transactions contemplated by an arrangement agreement dated as of January 29, 2025, as amended by an agreement, dated as of March 12, 2025 (as amended, the “Arrangement Agreement”), completed the separation of the LG Studios Business of Old Lionsgate from the Starz Business. As a result of the Arrangement Agreement, the pre-transaction shareholders of Old Lionsgate own shares in two separately traded public companies: (1) Old Lionsgate, which was renamed “Starz Entertainment Corp.” and holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the Starz Business previously held by Old Lionsgate, and (2) Lionsgate Studios Holding Corp. (“New Lionsgate”), which was renamed “Lionsgate Studios Corp.” and holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the LG Studios Business previously held by Old Lionsgate, and is owned by Old Lionsgate shareholders and Legacy Lionsgate Studios shareholders.
To complete the Separation, pre-transaction shareholders of Old Lionsgate’s Class A common shares received one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) New Lionsgate common shares and one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) Starz Entertainment Corp. common shares while Old Lionsgate’s Class B common shares received one share of New Lionsgate common shares and one share of Starz Entertainment Corp.’s common shares. As a result of the steps described above, each of New Lionsgate and Starz have a single class of “one share, one vote” common shares. Starz Entertainment Corp.’s common shares were then consolidated on a 15-to-1 basis, such that every fifteen (15) Starz common shares were consolidated into one (1) Starz common share (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, due to the relative significance of the LG Studios Business as compared to the Starz Business and the continued involvement of Old Lionsgate’s senior management with New Lionsgate following the completion of the Separation, New Lionsgate (which holds the LG Studios Business) is considered the accounting spinnor or divesting entity and Starz Entertainment Corp. (which holds the Starz Business) is considered the accounting spinnee or divested entity. As a result, Old Lionsgate was determined to be the accounting predecessor to New Lionsgate and the Starz Business's pre-Separation financial information has been prepared on a carve-out basis and are derived from Old Lionsgate’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. See Basis of Presentation below.
Starz Networks Strategic Content Review
During 2024 and 2025, in preparation for the Separation, Starz evaluated the programming on the Starz Platform and cancelled certain ordered programming, and identified certain other programming with limited strategic purpose, which was removed from the Starz Platform and abandoned by the Company.
As a new standalone company, management continues to strategically review its content and performance.

STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
International Restructuring
In 2023 and 2024, Old Lionsgate began a plan to restructure and shut down its international LIONSGATE+ business. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, Old Lionsgate continued executing the restructuring plan, which included exiting all international territories except Canada (included in the Starz Networks segment) and India and Southeast Asia (included in the International segment), which was completed in May 2024. The historical results of operations of international territories that were shut down are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation
From and after the effective date of the Separation, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to the Separation, are now referred to as the “condensed consolidated financial statements”.
For periods prior to the Separation, the Starz Business operated as a segment of Old Lionsgate and not as a separate entity. The Company’s financial statements prior to the Separation were prepared on a carve-out basis and were derived from Old Lionsgate’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and reflect Starz Business’s combined historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Prior to the Separation, a management approach was applied to determine the carve-out basis of presentation. In using the management approach, considerations over how the business operates were utilized to identify historical operations that should be presented within the carve-out financial statements.
For periods subsequent to the Separation, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Starz Entertainment Corp. and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited combined financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited combined financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 as filed on June 26, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
All revenue and costs, as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Starz Business are included in the accompanying financial statements. Revenue and costs associated with the Starz Business are specifically identifiable in the accounting records maintained by Old Lionsgate and primarily represent the revenue and costs used for the determination of segment profit of the Media Networks segment of Old Lionsgate. In addition, these costs include an allocation of corporate general and administrative expense (inclusive of share-based compensation) which has been allocated to the Company as further discussed below.
In May 2024, Old Lionsgate consummated a series of transactions, by which the LG Studios Business became a separate publicly traded company (the “Studio Separation”). The LG Studios Business is substantially reflective of Old Lionsgate's Motion Pictures and Television Production segments together with a substantial portion of Old Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative expenses.
In May 2024, Starz entered into an intercompany revolving credit facility with Lionsgate Studios Corp. which was used to settle intercompany transactions prior to Separation.
Prior to the Studio Separation, Old Lionsgate utilized a centralized approach to cash management. Cash generated by the Starz Business was managed by Old Lionsgate’s centralized treasury function and cash was routinely transferred to the Starz Business or to the LG Studios Business to fund operating activities when needed. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Payables to and receivables from Old Lionsgate related to the Starz Business, were often settled through movement to the intercompany accounts between Old Lionsgate, the Starz Business and the LG Studios Business. Other than certain specific balances related to unsettled payables or receivables, the intercompany balances between the Starz Business and LG Studios Business were accounted for as parent net investment. See Note 15, Due To/From LG Studios Business, for further details.

STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
Management believes the assumptions underlying our financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of general and administrative expenses from Old Lionsgate are reasonable. However, the allocations may not include all the actual expenses that would have been incurred by Starz had we been a standalone company during the periods presented. It is not practicable to estimate actual costs that would have been incurred had we been a standalone company and operated as an unaffiliated entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that might have been incurred had we been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, what corporate functions we might have performed directly or outsourced and strategic decisions we might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions. See Note 15, Due To/From LG Studios Business, for further details of the allocations included in the accompanying financial statements.
The issuer of the Old Lionsgate's 5.5% senior notes due April 15, 2029 (the “5.5% Senior Notes”) was Starz Capital Holdings, LLC (previously known as Lions Gate Capital Holdings LLC), a Starz entity. The 5.5% Senior Notes were generally used as a method of financing Old Lionsgate's operations in totality and were not specifically identifiable to the LG Studios Business or the Starz Business. It is not practical to determine what the capital structure would have been historically for the Starz Business or the LG Studios Business prior to the Studio Separation as standalone companies; however, the 5.5% Senior Notes were issued by a subsidiary of Starz and are representative of the overall debt levels, that were expected for the Company following the completion of the Separation. In May 2024, the Starz Business issued $389.9 million aggregate principal amount of new 5.5% exchange notes due 2029 (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for $389.9 million of the existing 5.5% Senior Notes (the "Exchange Transaction"). As a result of the Exchange Transaction, the principal amount of the 5.5% Senior Notes outstanding was reduced to $325.1 million and total aggregate debt outstanding, including $300.0 million outstanding per Term Loan A, was $625.1 million. See Note 4, Debt, for further details. Upon completion of the Separation, the Exchange Notes became obligations solely of New Lionsgate. The remaining 5.5% Senior Notes remained with the Company upon completion of the Separation. A portion of Old Lionsgate's corporate debt, (the revolving credit facility, term loan A and term loan B, together referred to as the “Old Lionsgate Senior Credit Facilities”) had been assumed by the LG Studios Business under an intercompany note and accordingly, the Old Lionsgate Senior Credit Facilities and related interest expense are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Starz Credit Agreement") which provides for a $300.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility and a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. See Note 4, Debt, for further details.
Additional indebtedness directly related to the Company, including programming notes and production loans, are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 5, Programming Related Obligations, for further details.
Old Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative functions and costs, which were retained within New Lionsgate, have historically been provided to both the Starz Business and the LG Studios Business. These functions and costs include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages for certain executives and other corporate officers related to executive oversight, investor relations, maintenance of corporate facilities, and other common administrative support functions, including corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting, audit and tax, corporate and other legal support functions, and certain information technology and human resources support functions. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Separation, the accompanying financial statements of the Company include allocations of certain general and administrative expenses (inclusive of share-based compensation) from Old Lionsgate related to these corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Old Lionsgate.
Prior to the Studio Separation, Old Lionsgate established a shared services and overhead sharing agreement (the “Shared Services Agreement”). The Shared Services Agreement facilitates the allocation to the LG Studios Business of all corporate general and administrative expenses of Old Lionsgate, except for an amount of $10.0 million charged annually to the Starz Business. The $10.0 million charge of Old Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative expenses to the Starz Business pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement is designed to reflect the portion of corporate expenses reflective of the level of effort and costs incurred related to management oversight and services provided to the Starz Business following the Studio Separation. Prior to the Studio Separation, these expenses were allocated to the Starz Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of consolidated Old Lionsgate revenue, payroll expense or other measures considered to be a reasonable reflection of the historical utilization levels of these services.

STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
Old Lionsgate also paid certain expenses on behalf of the Starz Business prior to the Separation such as certain rent expense, employee benefits, insurance and other administrative operating costs which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Starz Business also paid certain expenses on behalf of Old Lionsgate such as legal expenses, software development costs and severance. The settlement of reimbursable expenses between the Starz Business and the LG Studios Business have been accounted for as parent net investment. See Note 15, Due To/From LG Studios Business, for further detail of parent net investment included in the accompanying financial statements.
Change in Fiscal Year End
On May 8, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in Starz’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. The date of Starz’s next fiscal year end will be December 31, 2025. As a result of the change, the Company will file a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine-month transition period from April 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements relate to the intangible asset associated with the customer relationships with U.S. MVPDs ("Starz Traditional Affiliates"), which is amortized in the proportion that current period revenue bears to management’s estimate of future revenue over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset; estimates of future viewership used for the amortization of programming content; the allocation of costs to the Starz Business for certain corporate and shared service functions prior to Separation; income taxes including the assessment of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; and impairment assessments for licensed program rights and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Segments
Following the Separation, Starz manages and reports its operating results through one reportable segment, Starz Networks, which includes our United States and Canadian operations. The continuing operations outside the U.S. and Canada, which primarily consists of our operations in India and Southeast Asia, is reported as International. Effective April 1, 2025, we transferred our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate. Given that Starz and New Lionsgate were under common control at the time of the transfer, no gain or loss was recorded related to the transfer.
Relationship with New Lionsgate
Certain functions that Old Lionsgate provided to Starz prior to the completion of the Separation continue to be provided to us by New Lionsgate under a Transition Services Agreement, while other functions previously provided by Old Lionsgate are now performed using our own resources or third-party service providers. Additionally, under our original series programming license agreements, multiyear theatrical film output licensing agreements and library programming agreements with Old Lionsgate, we continue to distribute New Lionsgate programming. We have incurred certain costs in establishing ourselves as a standalone public company, as well as ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company. See “Components of Results of Operations” below for more information.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We earn our revenue from the distribution of branded premium subscription video services through OTT streaming platforms and distributors, on a direct-to-consumer basis through the Starz App and through MVPDs, including cable operators, satellite television providers and telecommunications companies.
Pursuant to our distribution agreements, revenue is primarily generated from fees from subscribers who receive the Company's services or based on other factors (variable fee arrangements), or to a lesser extent, may be based on a monthly fixed fee or minimum guarantee, subject to nominal annual escalations.
32

Table of Contents
STARZ ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
The variable distribution fee arrangements represent sales or usage-based royalties, which are recognized over the period of such sales or usage by our distributor, which is the same period that the content is provided to the distributor. Estimates of revenue generated but not yet reported to us by our distribution partners are made based on an estimated number of subscribers using historical trends and recent reporting. Other fixed fee or minimum guarantee programming revenue is recognized over the contract term based on the continuous delivery of the content to the distributor. Subscribers through the Starz App are billed in advance of the start of their monthly or multi-month membership period and revenue is recognized ratably over each applicable membership period.
In connection with the distribution rights obtained outside of the Starz Platform, we license rights to other parties who distribute our content for a fee. New Lionsgate acts as distributor in these arrangements. License fees associated with these agreements have not been material to date.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include programming amortization, other operating expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses.
Other operating expenses include programming related salaries, residual expenses, development costs, provision for credit losses on accounts receivable, operating costs for the direct-to-consumer service, transponder expenses, maintenance and repairs, and foreign exchange gains and losses.
Residuals represent amounts payable to various unions or “guilds” such as the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Directors Guild of America, and Writers Guild of America, based on the performance of the film or television program in certain ancillary markets or based on the individual’s (i.e., actor, director, writer) salary level in the television market.
Advertising and marketing expenses primarily include the costs of advertising, consumer marketing, distributor marketing support and other marketing costs.
The level of programming amortization and advertising and marketing costs can fluctuate from period to period depending on the number of new original series and first-run output theatrical movies premiering on the network during the period. Programming cost amortization and advertising and marketing costs generally increase in periods where new original series premiere.
General and administrative expenses include salaries and other overhead and include allocations for certain general and administrative expenses from Old Lionsgate to the Starz Business related to certain corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Old Lionsgate to the Starz Business, including, but not limited to, executive oversight, accounting, tax, legal, human resources, occupancy, and other shared services. See “Basis of Presentation” above and Note 1 and Note 15 for further details on our methodology for allocating these costs. As described in “Basis of Presentation” above, in connection with the Studio Separation, Old Lionsgate and Legacy Lionsgate Studios entered into a shared services and overhead sharing agreement (the “Shared Services Agreement”). The Shared Services Agreement allocates to the LG Studios Business all of corporate general and administrative expenses of Old Lionsgate, except for an amount of $10.0 million to be charged annually to the Company.
Allocations of expenses from Old Lionsgate are not necessarily indicative of future expenses and do not necessarily reflect results that would have been achieved as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented. Recurring standalone costs may be higher than historical allocations, which may have an impact on profitability and operating cash flows. Now that the Separation is complete, we are incurring additional expenses for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ and other insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources and fees.

Subscriber Data. The number of period-end service subscribers is a key metric which management uses to evaluate a non-ad supported subscription video service. We believe this key metric may provide useful information to investors as a growing or decreasing subscriber base can be a key indicator of the health of the overall business. Service subscribers may impact revenue differently depending on specific distribution agreements we have with our distributors which may include a rate per STARZ subscriber, rates per basic video household. The table below sets forth, for the periods presented, subscriptions to our Starz Networks and International services.

Revenue. Consolidated revenue decreased $26.0 million. The decrease in Starz Networks revenue reflects declines in revenue of $16.6 million from traditional linear services and OTT revenue of $9.4 million. These decreases resulted from the continued decline in revenue from traditional linear services and a higher mix of discounting on the OTT services. International declined due to the transfer of our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate effective April 1, 2025.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024, the following original series premiered on STARZ:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 |  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Title |  | Premiere Date |  | Title |  | Premiere Date
Blood of My Blood Season 1 |  | August 8, 2025 |  | Serpent Queen Season 2 |  | July 12, 2024

|  |  |  | Three Women Season 1 |  | September 13, 2024

Programming Amortization. The level of programming amortization for Starz Networks can fluctuate from period to period depending on the number of new original series and first-run output theatrical movies premiering on the network during such period, therefore programming amortization generally increases in periods where new original series premiere.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Blood of My Blood Season 1 premiered on the Starz Platform on August 8, 2025, compared to the premiere of three original series during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The premiere of fewer series during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, contributed to a decrease in programming amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Other Operating Expenses and Advertising and Marketing Expenses. Other operating expenses include programming related salaries, residual expenses, development costs, credit losses on accounts receivable, and foreign exchange gains and losses. The level of other operating expenses and advertising and marketing costs can fluctuate from period to period depending on the number of new original series and first-run output theatrical movies premiering on the Starz Platform during such period. Advertising and marketing costs generally increase in periods where new original series premiere.

_______________________
Other operating expenses decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to decreases at Starz Networks of $0.5 million, resulting from a decrease in app commissions due to lower OTT revenue. International declined due to the transfer of our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate effective April 1, 2025.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses by segment were as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024:

Advertising and marketing expenses increased in the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in direct response and originals advertising and marketing costs as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Blood of My Blood, which premiered during the quarter, was in its first season. As a result, we spent additional advertising and marketing resources to drive awareness and subscriber acquisition associated with this first season show.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses by segment and share-based compensation which is not allocated to our segments were as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Starz Networks' general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Such increase resulted from additional expenses for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ and other insurance, director fees, additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources and certain other costs due to Starz becoming an independent public company. International declined due to the transfer of our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate effective April 1, 2025.

_______________________
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization of $47.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $6.7 million from $41.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, due primarily to the reduction in the useful life of our Starz Traditional Affiliate customer relationship finite-lived intangible asset from 16 years to 14 years effective January 1, 2025.
Restructuring and Other. Restructuring and other increased $6.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, and includes restructuring costs, certain transaction-related and other expenses, and unusual charges or benefits, as applicable. The increase is primarily the result of legal and other costs incurred related to transaction-related expenses. See Note 9, Restructuring and Other, for further details.
Interest Expense. Interest expense of $15.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $3.5 million from three months ended September 30, 2024 due primarily to an increase in our programming related obligations.
Income Tax Benefit. We had an income tax expense of $(0.4) million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to an income tax benefit of $(0.4) million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Our income tax provision differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate multiplied by pre-tax income (loss) due to the income tax effects of state income taxes, and changes in the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
Net (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations. Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $52.6 million. This compares to net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $30.6 million.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, adjusted for share-based compensation, restructuring and other costs, and unusual gains or losses (such as goodwill and intangible asset impairment), when applicable.

•Depreciation and amortization as presented on our consolidated statement of operations.
•Adjusted share-based compensation represents share-based compensation excluding the impact of the acceleration of certain vesting schedules for equity awards pursuant to certain severance arrangements, which are included in restructuring and other expenses, when applicable.
•Restructuring and other includes restructuring costs, certain transaction-related and other expenses, and unusual items, when applicable.
•Goodwill impairment and intangible asset impairment, when applicable.
Overall: This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC and is in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with United States GAAP.
We use this non-GAAP measure, among other measures, to evaluate the operating performance of our business. We believe this measure provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations before non-operating items. Adjusted OIBDA is considered an important measure of the Company’s performance because this measure eliminates amounts that, in management’s opinion, do not necessarily reflect the fundamental performance of the Company’s businesses, are infrequent in occurrence, and in some cases are non-cash expenses.
This non-GAAP measure is commonly used in the entertainment industry and by financial analysts and others who follow the industry to measure operating performance. However, not all companies calculate this measure in the same manner and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to differences in the methods of calculation and excluded items.
A general limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and is not presented as an alternative measure of operating loss.

(1) Share-based compensation expense excluded from Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 includes $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in other operating expenses, and $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in general and administrative expenses. See Note 7, Capital Stock, for further details.
Starz Networks Adjusted OIBDA of $21.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $5.1 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024. Such decrease resulted primarily from lower revenue due to lower subscribers partially offset by a decrease in programming amortization from fewer original series premiering on the Starz Platform either shortly before or during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Revenue. Consolidated revenue decreased $53.9 million. The decrease in Starz Networks revenue reflects declines in revenue of $31.2 million from traditional linear services and OTT revenue of $22.7 million. These decreases resulted from the continued decline in revenue from traditional linear services and a higher mix of discounting on the OTT services and the transfer of our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate effective April 1, 2025.

Advertising and marketing expenses decreased in the six months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in direct response and originals advertising and marketing costs as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024 from lower overall spend resulting from fewer original series airing in the current year period along with increased efficiency in our marketing operations in 2025 as compared to the prior year.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses by segment and share-based compensation which is not allocated to our segments were as follows for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

| Six Months Ended September 30, |  |  |  |

| $ | 57.9 |  |  | 9.0 | % |  | $ | 52.9 |  |  | 7.6 | % |  | $ | 5.0 |  |  | 9.5 | %

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, Starz Networks' general and administrative expenses increased $6.3 million as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024. Such increase resulted from additional expenses for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ and other insurance, director fees, additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources and certain other costs due to Starz becoming an independent public company. International declined due to the transfer of our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate effective April 1, 2025.

Restructuring and Other. Restructuring and other increased $13.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024, and includes restructuring costs, certain transaction-related and other expenses, and unusual charges or benefits, as applicable. The increase is the result of legal and other costs incurred to complete the Separation, content recoveries recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2024, and an increase in stock-based compensation resulting from a modification for restricted share units vesting to allow for a cash payment in lieu of share issuance. See Note 9, Restructuring and Other, for further details.
Interest Expense. Interest expense of $29.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased $5.9 million from six months ended September 30, 2024 due primarily to an increase in our programming related obligations.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. The loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.9 million for six months ended September 30, 2024 was related to the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the Exchange Transaction.
Income Tax Benefit. We had an income tax expense of $(0.3) million in the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to an income tax benefit of $7.2 million in the six months ended September 30, 2024. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, our income tax provision differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate multiplied by pre-tax income (loss) due to the income tax effects of state income taxes, and changes in the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, our income tax provision differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate multiplied by pre-tax income (loss) due to the income tax effects of state income taxes, changes in the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, and the release of uncertain tax positions.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations. Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was $95.1 million, in comparison to net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2024 of $29.5 million.

_______________________
(1) Share-based compensation expense excluded from Adjusted OIBDA for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 includes $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in other operating expenses, and $7.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in general and administrative expenses. See Note 7, Capital Stock, for further details.
Starz Networks Adjusted OIBDA of $55.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $29.0 million from the six months ended September 30, 2024. Such decrease resulted from lower revenue due to lower subscribers partially offset by a decrease in programming amortization from fewer original series premiering on the Starz Platform either shortly before or during the six months ended September 30, 2025. Lower advertising and marketing expenses also offset the lower revenue due to fewer original series premiering in the 2025 period as well as increased efficiency in our marketing operations in 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Cash
Our liquidity and capital resources for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were provided principally through cash generated from operations, our new $150 million revolving credit facility, programming related obligations, and the monetization of trade accounts receivable (each defined above).
As of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $37.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively.
New Credit Agreement and Existing Notes
As of September 30, 2025, we had $300.0 million and $325.1 million, respectively, outstanding under our new Term Loan A and 5.5% Senior Notes due 2029. No amounts were outstanding under our new $150.0 million revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2025, we had $715.0 million outstanding of the 5.5% Senior Notes which included $389.9 million of the Exchange Notes which were assumed by New Lionsgate at the Separation.
See Note 4, Debt, for a discussion of our corporate debt.
Programming Related Obligations
We utilize programming related obligations to fund certain of our film and television productions or licenses during production through the time the program airs on the Starz Platform. Our programming related obligations include unsecured programming notes and a secured production loan. Programming notes and production loans represent individual loans for the license of certain of our film and television programs. The Company had $88.2 million of programming notes outstanding with repayment dates in October 2025 through November 2025 and $16.2 million of the production loan outstanding at September 30, 2025 due in 2027.
See Note 5, Programming Related Obligations, for a discussion of our programming related obligations.
Accounts Receivable Monetization
Our accounts receivable monetization program includes individual agreements to monetize certain of our trade accounts receivable directly with third-party purchasers.
See Note 14, Additional Financial Information, for a discussion of our accounts receivable monetization program.
Uses of Cash
As a stand-alone company, our principal uses of cash include payments for licensing, acquisition, and production of our programming content, advertising and marketing expenditures and general and administrative expenses. We also use cash for debt service (i.e. principal and interest payments) requirements, and capital expenditures.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase or refinance our outstanding debt through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, refinancings, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges or refinancings, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, our assessment of opportunities to lower interest expense, contractual restrictions and other factors, and such repurchases or exchanges could result in a gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt. The amounts involved may be material.
Anticipated Cash Requirements. The nature of our business is such that significant initial expenditures are required to acquire, produce, and market our programming content, while revenue from the exhibition of our programming content is earned over an extended period of time after their acquisition.

Under the Starz Networks Strategic Content Review and International Restructuring, the net future cash outlay for impairment charges recorded through September 30, 2025 is estimated to be approximately $32.0 million for contractual commitments on content in territories exited and payments on the remaining amounts payable for content removed from our services, net of estimated recoveries. As the Company continues its current strategic review in relation to the current micro and macroeconomic environment, including further review of content strategy and performance, we may decide to remove certain content off the Starz Platform in the future. Accordingly, the Company may incur additional content impairment charges in the future. See, Note 1, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Starz Networks Strategic Content Review, for further details.
We currently believe that cash flow from operations, cash on hand, availability under our $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility which is undrawn at September 30, 2025, monetization of trade accounts receivable and available programming related obligations will be adequate to meet known operational cash and debt service (i.e. principal and interest payments) requirements for the next twelve months and beyond, including the funding of programming content including amounts under our originals licensing and production agreements, and programming output and library agreements. We monitor our cash flow, liquidity, availability, capital base, content spending, capital expenditures, debt service and leverage ratios with the long-term goal of maintaining our credit worthiness.
Our current financing strategy is to fund operations and to leverage investments in programming content in the short-term and long-term through our cash flow from operations, our production related loans, the monetization of trade accounts receivable, borrowings from our $150.0 million revolving credit facility which is undrawn at September 30, 2025, and available programming related obligations. In addition, we may acquire businesses or assets, including individual films or libraries that are complementary to our business. Any such transaction could be financed through our cash flow from operations, credit facilities, and/or equity or debt financing. If additional financing beyond our existing sources cannot fund such transactions, there is no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our ability to obtain any additional financing will depend on, among other things, our business plans, operating performance, the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing, and debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies. Additionally, circumstances related to inflation and rising interest rates have caused disruption in the capital markets, which could make financing more difficult and/or expensive, and we may not be able to obtain such financing. We may also dispose assets and use the net proceeds from such dispositions to fund operations or such acquisitions, or to repay debt.
As discussed elsewhere, the debt reflected in our financial statements prior to the Separation represents a portion of the historical amounts for the consolidated Old Lionsgate businesses (representing Starz and other Old Lionsgate businesses), as we are the primary borrower of such indebtedness. As discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview" above, upon the completion of the Separation, the Exchange Notes became obligations of New Lionsgate and are no longer reflected in the Company's financial statements. As discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview" above, the Company entered into a new credit agreement in conjunction with the Separation. Accordingly, our financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of liquidity and capital resource conditions that would have existed if we had operated as a separate, unaffiliated entity prior to the Separation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Currency and Interest Rate Risk Management
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk results from the financial debt instruments that arise from transactions entered into during the normal course of business. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk is related to transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As part of our overall risk management program, we evaluate and manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and currency exchange risks on an ongoing basis. Hedges and derivative financial instruments may be used in the future to manage our interest rate exposure. We only enter financial derivative contracts to hedge a specific financial risk.
Currency Rate Risk. The Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts during the six months ended September 30, 2025 to hedge our foreign currency exposures on future programming production costs denominated in British Pounds. These contracts are entered into with major financial institutions as counterparties. Refer to Note 13, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for further details.
Interest Rate Risk. Certain of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under our credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on this variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income would decrease. The Company’s objective is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and has entered into $150.0 million worth of pay-fixed interest rate swaps to facilitate its interest rate risk management activities. Pay-fixed swaps effectively convert floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings. Refer to Note 13, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for further details.
Our variable interest rate programming notes incur SOFR-based interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 8.8%, and the production loan incur SOFR-based interest of 6.5%.
At September 30, 2025, our Term Loan A had an outstanding carrying value of $300.0 million, with a fair value of $300.0 million, and our 5.5% Senior Notes had an outstanding carrying value of $325.1 million, with a fair value of $259.3 million.
The following table presents information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table also presents the cash flows of the principal amounts of the financial instruments, or the cash flows associated with the notional amounts of interest rate derivative instruments, and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity or required principal payment dates and the fair value of the instrument as of September 30, 2025:
