Second Quarter Results Driven By Significant Contributions From Home Entertainment Release of THE HUNGER GAMES, Domestic Box Office Performance of Film Slate And International Revenue

Filmed Entertainment Backlog Reaches Record $1.2 Billion



















SANTA MONICA, Calif. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF) today reported revenue of $707.0 million, EBITDA of $104.0 million, adjusted EBITDA of $109.7 million and net income of $75.5 million or $0.56 per share for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 (quarter ended September 30, 2012).

Revenue of $707.0 million in the second quarter increased by 97% compared to $358.1 million in the prior year quarter, driven by strong home entertainment revenue from the global blockbuster THE HUNGER GAMES in packaged media and on demand and digital, domestic theatrical box office revenue from films in the quarter that included THE POSSESSION, THE EXPENDABLES 2, STEP UP REVOLUTION and MADEA'S WITNESS PROTECTION (released at the end of June), as well as strong growth in international revenue.

EBITDA of $104.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $109.7 million in the second quarter compared to EBITDA of negative $(6.9) million and adjusted EBITDA of negative $(13.4) million in the prior year quarter.

Net income of $75.5 million in the second quarter compared to net loss of $(25.3) million in the prior year quarter. Profitability and EBITDA growth in the quarter was largely attributable to the strong theatrical box office and home entertainment performance of several of the Company's feature films, including the DVD and digital release of the first film in THE HUNGER GAMES franchise and the domestic theatrical box office performance of THE POSSESSION, as well as strong international results. The Company also reported improved overall margins in the quarter.

Basic net income per common share for the second quarter was $0.56 on 134.4 million weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to basic net loss per common share of $(0.19) on 133.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding in the prior year quarter.

Lionsgate's filmed entertainment backlog, or already contracted future revenue not yet recorded, was a record $1.2 billion at September 30, 2012.

"The quarter reflected many of the core values that have driven our growth over the past 12 years - creation and renewal of major film franchises, strong and consistent library performance and contributions from our diverse mix of businesses worldwide," said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer. "With the home entertainment release of the first film in our HUNGER GAMES franchise making significant contributions to our results in the quarter, we're clearly on track to meet or exceed our expectations this year."

Overall motion picture revenue for the second quarter was $608.0 million, an increase of 178% from the prior year quarter reflecting gains in all categories. Within the motion picture segment, theatrical revenue in the quarter was $116.2 million, a fivefold increase from the prior year second quarter, attributable to the box office performance of THE POSSESSION, THE EXPENDABLES 2, STEP UP REVOLUTION and MADEA'S WITNESS PROTECTION, released in June.

Lionsgate's home entertainment revenue from both motion pictures and television was $277.8 million in the second quarter, a 59% increase from the prior year quarter driven by the home entertainment releases of THE HUNGER GAMES, CABIN IN THE WOODS, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING, SAFE and FRIENDS WITH KIDS from the Company's managed brands business.

Television revenue included in motion picture revenue was $35.5 million in the second quarter, an increase of 26% from the prior year quarter.

International motion picture revenue of $108.0 million (excluding Lionsgate U.K.) for the second quarter increased more than fourfold from the prior year quarter driven by continuing revenue from the worldwide theatrical release of THE HUNGER GAMES as well as revenue contributions from CABIN IN THE WOODS, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING, STEP UP REVOLUTION and COLD LIGHT OF DAY.

Lionsgate U.K. revenue was $48.4 million, an increase of 120% from the prior year quarter, on the strength of a diversified theatrical slate driven by THE HUNGER GAMES, THE EXPENDABLES 2 and ABDUCTION, Lionsgate U.K.'s SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN and the third-party film MAGIC MIKE.

Television production revenue was $99.0 million in the second quarter, a decline of 29% compared to the prior year quarter, as increases in domestic series licensing from Lionsgate Television were offset by fewer deliveries from the Company's Debmar-Mercury syndication arm and decreased digital media revenue compared to the prior year quarter that included the delivery of the first four seasons of MAD MEN to Netflix.

Lionsgate senior management will hold its analyst and investor conference call to discuss its second quarter fiscal 2013 results at 9:00 A.M. ET/6:00 A.M. PT on Friday, November 9, 2012.

(2) The six months ended September 30, 2011 includes
a benefit for charges associated with a
shareholder activist matter of $2.0 million
related to a negotiated settlement with a vendor
of costs incurred and recorded in fiscal year
2011, and insurance recoveries of related
litigation offset by other costs.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

EBITDA, as adjusted represents EBITDA as defined above adjusted for a gain on sale of asset disposal group, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, acquisition related charges, certain corporate defense and related charges, and non-risk prints and advertising expense. Stock-based compensation represents compensation expenses associated with stock options, restricted share units and stock appreciation rights. Acquisition related charges represent severance and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Summit. Corporate defense and related charges represent legal fees, other professional fees, and certain other costs associated with a shareholder activist matter. Non-risk prints and advertising expense represents the amount of theatrical marketing expense for third party titles that the Company funded and expensed for which a third party provides a guarantee that such expense will be recouped from the performance of the film (i.e. there is no risk of loss to the company) net of an amount of the estimated amortization of participation expense that would have been recorded if such amount had not been expensed.

Management believes EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted to be a meaningful indicator of our performance that provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations. Presentation of EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the entertainment industry and by financial analysts and others who follow the industry to measure operating performance. While management considers EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted do not reflect cash available to fund cash requirements. Not all companies calculate EBITDA or EBITDA, as adjusted in the same manner and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

======= ======== ======= =========







Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, plus or minus the net increase or decrease in production loans including production loan activity under the Company's Film Credit Facility. The adjustment for the production loans is made because the GAAP based cash flows from operations reflects a non-cash reduction of cash flows for the cost of films associated with production loans prior to the time the Company actually pays for the film. The Company believes that it is more meaningful to reflect the impact of the payment for these films in its free cash flow when the payments are actually made.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This non-GAAP financial measure is in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors regarding cash that our operating businesses generate whether classified as operating or financing activity (related to the production of our films) within our GAAP based statement of cash flows, before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the entertainment industry and by financial analysts and others who follow the industry. Not all companies calculate free cash flow in the same manner and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
