Starz Entertainment recorded lower sales and a narrower loss in the third quarter, but said it is on track to d5eliver on its goals following its separation from Lionsgate.

The TV network and streaming platform on Thursday posted a loss of $52.6 million, or $3.15 a share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of $30.6 million, or $1.83 a share, a year earlier.

Revenue fell 7.5% to $320.9 million.

U.S. subscribers decreased in the quarter due to pressure on linear subscribers. Canadian subscribers increased compared with last quarter due to the resolution of a carriage dispute in Canada that resulted in the reinstatement of linear subscribers that were previously removed.

The company reiterated its previous full-year outlook.

"We are set to deliver on our post-separation plan of generating new revenue through content licensing and getting more ownership of series on the network at improved economics," Chief Executive Jeffrey Hirsch said.
