Corus Entertainment Q1 2026 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
A proposed recapitalization transaction aims to reduce total debt by over CAD 500 million, generate up to CAD 40 million in annual cash interest savings, and extend debt maturities by five years, with strong board and stakeholder support and meetings scheduled for January 30, 2026.
Revenue and segment profit declined due to lower demand for linear advertising, macroeconomic uncertainty, and reduced subscriber revenue, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.
Free cash flow was negative, impacted by lower segment profit, higher investment in program rights, and absence of prior year property sale proceeds.
Net loss attributable to shareholders was $11.1 million, or $0.06 per share basic, compared to net income of $11.9 million in the prior year.
Strategic programming decisions led to Global being the top network in core primetime post-baseball season, with strong specialty and streaming performance.
Financial highlights
Consolidated revenue for Q1 was $268 million, down 18% year-over-year.
Consolidated segment profit was $57.2 million, a 32% decrease year-over-year, with a segment profit margin of 21%.
Free cash flow was negative $54 million, a decline of $428 million year-over-year.
Cash and cash equivalents stood at $45.2 million, with $35 million available under the revolving facility.
Net debt to segment profit increased to 7.39x from 6.01x at year-end.
Outlook and guidance
No specific quarterly outlook provided due to ongoing macroeconomic, regulatory, and competitive volatility, but management remains focused on cost management, recapitalization, and advocating for regulatory changes.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
