## Summary

Starz reported higher overall and streaming revenue and a much smaller year-on-year loss for the quarter ending in September. The results came as the company shifts towards owning more of its programmes, which it says could improve the financial returns from its slate.

Revenue reached $322.4 million, up from $320.9 million, with streaming revenue at $287 million and linear revenue down to $95.8 million. The figures exceeded analysts’ forecasts; Starz ended the quarter with $86.8 million in cash and $687.5 million in debt. Its programming included the finale of *Power Book III: Raising Kanan*, the launch of owned series *Fightland* and *Outlander: Blood of My Blood*; shares were flat after results, but had risen 85% so far this year.
