	Presentation
	Starz, LLC provides premium subscription video programming to United States (“U.S.”) multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”), including cable operators, satellite television providers and telecommunications companies. Starz, LLC also develops, produces and acquires entertainment content and distributes this content to consumers in the U.S. and throughout the world. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Starz, LLC and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Starz, LLC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	LMC Spin-Off
	In January 2013, the parent company of Starz, LLC, Starz (formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation (“Old LMC”)), completed the spin off (the “LMC Spin-Off”) of its wholly-owned subsidiary Liberty Media Corporation (formerly known as Liberty Spinco, Inc. (“Liberty Media”)). Unless the context otherwise requires, Old LMC is used to refer to Starz, LLC’s parent company when events or circumstances being described occurred prior to the LMC Spin-Off and Starz is used to refer to Starz, LLC’s parent company when events or circumstances being described occurred following the LMC Spin-Off.
	Business
	Starz, LLC’s business operations are conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiaries Starz Entertainment, LLC (“Starz Entertainment”), Film Roman, LLC (“Film Roman”) and certain other immaterial subsidiaries, and its majority-owned (75%) subsidiary Starz Media Group, LLC (“Starz Media”). The Weinstein Company LLC (“Weinstein”) owns a 25% interest in Starz Media. Starz, LLC is managed by and organized around the following operating segments:
	Starz Networks
	Starz Networks’ flagship premium networks are Starz and Encore. Starz, a first-run movie service, exhibits contemporary hit movies, original series, and documentaries. Encore airs first-run movies and classic contemporary movies. Starz Network’s third network, MoviePlex, offers a variety of art house, independent films and classic movie library content. Starz and Encore, along with MoviePlex, air across 17 linear networks complemented by on-demand and Internet services. Starz Networks’ premium networks are offered by MVPDs to their subscribers either on a fixed monthly price as part of a programming tier or package or on an a-la-carte basis.
	Starz Distribution
	Starz Distribution includes Starz, LLC’s Home Video, Digital Media and Worldwide Distribution businesses.
	Home Video
	Starz, LLC, through its majority-owned subsidiary Anchor Bay Entertainment, LLC (“Anchor Bay Entertainment”), sells or rents DVDs (standard definition and Blu-ray™) under the Anchor Bay and Manga brands, in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other international territories to the extent it has rights to such content in international territories. Anchor Bay Entertainment develops and produces certain of its content and also acquires and licenses various titles from third parties. Certain of the titles produced or acquired by Anchor Bay Entertainment air on Starz Networks’ Starz and Encore networks. Anchor Bay Entertainment also distributes Starz Networks’ original programming content and Weinstein’s titles. Each of these titles are sold to and distributed by regional and national retailers and other distributors, including Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Ingram Entertainment, Amazon, Netflix and Redbox.
	Digital Media
	Digital Media distributes digital and on-demand content for Starz, LLC’s owned content and content for which it has licensed digital ancillary rights in the U.S. and throughout the world to the extent it has rights to such content in international territories. Digital Media receives fees for such services from a wide array of partners and distributors.

Digital Media also distributes Starz Networks’ original programming content and Weinstein’s titles.
	Worldwide Distribution
	Worldwide Distribution distributes movies, television series, documentaries, children’s programming and other video content. Worldwide Distribution exploits Starz, LLC’s owned content and content for which it has licensed ancillary rights on free or pay television in the U.S. and throughout the world on free or pay television and other media to the extent it has rights to such content in international territories. It also distributes Starz Networks’ original programming content.
	Starz Animation
	Starz, LLC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Film Roman, develops and produces two-dimensional animated content on a for-hire basis for various third party entertainment companies.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Starz, LLC considers amortization of program rights, the fair value of goodwill and any related impairment, the development of ultimate revenue estimates associated with released films and television programs, the assessment of investment in films and television programs for impairment and allowances for sales returns to be its most significant estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
	Prior Period Reclassifications
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the 2014 presentation.

	Less current portion of debt	(5.0		)		(4.9		)
	Debt	$	1,073.10			$	1,054.50
	(a)	Starz, LLC has entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $1,000.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a $50.0 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit (“Revolving Credit Facility”) which matures on November 16, 2016. As of March 31, 2014, $673.5 million of borrowing capacity was available under the Revolving Credit Facility.
	Interest on each loan under the Revolving Credit Facility is payable at either an alternate base rate or LIBOR at Starz, LLC’s election. Borrowings that are alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 0.5% and 1.5% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The alternate base rate is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus ½ of 1.0% or (c) LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%. Borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 1.5% and 2.5% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. The credit agreement requires Starz, LLC to pay a commitment fee on any unused portion under the Revolving Credit Facility. The commitment fee varies between 0.25% and 0.50%, depending on the consolidated leverage ratio.
	As of March 31, 2014, the following borrowings and related LIBOR or alternate base rate interest rates were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (dollars in millions):
	LIBOR or alternate base rate period:	Interest Rate		Loan Amount
	March 2014 to April 2014	1.90%		$	21
	March 2014 to April 2014	1.90%		254
	March 2014 to April 2014	1.90%		44
	March 2014 and forward	4.00%		7.5
				$	326.5
	The credit agreement contains certain covenants that include restrictions on, among others, incurring additional debt, paying dividends, entering into liens or guarantees, or making certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments. In addition, Starz, LLC must comply with certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement. As of March 31, 2014, Starz, LLC was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.
	(b)	Starz, LLC and Starz Finance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, co-issued $675.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior notes due September 15, 2019 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.0% payable semi-annually on September 15 and March 15 of each year and are guaranteed by Starz Entertainment.
	The Senior Notes contain certain covenants that include restrictions on, among others, incurring additional debt, paying dividends, entering into liens and guarantees, or making certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments. As of March 31, 2014, Starz, LLC was in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes.
	(c)	On January 11, 2013, Starz, LLC entered into a commercial lease with a subsidiary of Liberty Media for its headquarters building. The term of the lease is ten years, with successive five-year renewal periods at the option of Starz, LLC. Starz, LLC has recorded a $44.8 million capital lease in connection with this lease agreement with an imputed annual interest rate of 6.4%.
	Starz Entertainment has entered into capital lease agreements for its transponder capacity. The agreements expire during 2018 to 2021 and have imputed annual interest rates ranging from 5.5% to 7.0%.
	At March 31, 2014, the fair value of the Senior Notes was $699.8 million and was based upon quoted prices in active markets. Starz, LLC believes the fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying value as of March 31, 2014 due to its variable rate nature and Starz, LLC’s stable credit spread.
	Amounts totaling $0.9 million and $1.3 million of interest expense have been capitalized as investment in films and television programs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is calculated by estimating Starz, LLC’s annual effective tax rate and then applying the effective tax rate to income before income taxes for the period, plus or minus the tax effects of items that relate discretely to the period, if any. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% due to a benefit from Internal Revenue Code Section 199, which allows U.S. taxpayers a deduction for qualified domestic production activities.  In addition, income tax expense differs due to state and local taxes for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Programming Rights
	Starz has an exclusive multi-year output licensing agreement for qualifying films that are released theatrically in the U.S. by Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.’s (“Sony”) Columbia Pictures, Screen Gems, Sony Pictures Classics, Sony Pictures Animation and TriStar labels through 2021, subject to certain limitations, including Sony’s right to withhold films released by Sony Pictures Animation. In addition, Starz has an exclusive long-term licensing agreement for theatrically released films from the Walt Disney Company (“Disney”) through 2015. The agreement provides Starz with exclusive pay TV rights to exhibit qualifying theatrically released live-action and animated feature films under the Disney, Touchstone, Pixar and Marvel labels. Theatrically released films produced by DreamWorks are not licensed to Starz under the Disney agreement. The programming fees to be paid to Sony and Disney are based on the quantity and domestic theatrical exhibition receipts of qualifying films. Starz has also entered into agreements with a number of other motion picture producers and is obligated to pay fees for the rights to exhibit certain films that are released by these producers.
	The unpaid balance for program rights related to films that were available for exhibition at March 31, 2014 is reflected in accrued liabilities and in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2014, such liabilities aggregated approximately $148.8 million and are payable as follows: $136.9 million in 2014, $11.8 million in 2015 and $0.1 million in 2016.
	Under the agreements with Sony and Disney, Starz, LLC is obligated to pay fees for the rights to exhibit films that have been released theatrically, but are not available for exhibition until some future date. The estimated amounts payable under Starz, LLC’s programming license agreements, including the Sony and Disney agreements, which have not been accrued as of March 31, 2014, are as follows: $166.3 million in 2014; $228.5 million in 2015; $102.1 million in 2016; $96.7 million in 2017; $91.0 million in 2018 and $206.4 million thereafter.
	Starz, LLC is also obligated to pay fees for films that have not yet been released in theaters by Sony and Disney. Starz, LLC is unable to estimate the amounts to be paid under these agreements for films that have not yet been released; however, such amounts are expected to be significant.
	Total amortization of program rights was $146.3 million and $135.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in programming costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Legal Proceedings
	In the normal course of business, Starz, LLC is subject to lawsuits and other claims. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, it is the opinion of management, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate disposition of known proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on Starz, LLC’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

	Information about Operating Segments
	Starz, LLC is primarily engaged in video programming and development, production, acquisition and distribution of entertainment content. Starz, LLC evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as Adjusted OIBDA. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as revenue less programming costs, production and acquisition costs, home video cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Starz, LLC’s chief operating decision maker uses this measure of performance in conjunction with other measures to evaluate the operating segments’ performance and make decisions about allocating resources among the operating segments. Starz, LLC believes Adjusted OIBDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its operating segments, including each operating segment’s ability to assist Starz, LLC in servicing its debt and to fund investments in films and television programs. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between operating segments and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes stock compensation and depreciation and amortization that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, net cash provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
	The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to income before income taxes (in millions):
		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2014			2013
	Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA	$	126.2		$	116.5

	Other income (expense), net	0.5			(1.5		)
	Income before income taxes	$	102.5		$	93.1
	Starz, LLC’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, content delivery methods and marketing strategies. Starz, LLC identifies its reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets. Starz Networks and Starz Distribution have been identified as reportable segments; however, as Starz, LLC has three operating segments, Starz Animation is also reported. Starz, LLC generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
