AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results
AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“AMC” or “the Company”), one of the world’s leading theatrical exhibition companies and an
industry leader in innovation and operational excellence, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Highlights for the second quarter 2016 include the following:
- Total revenues were $764.0 million compared to total revenues of $821.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2015.
- Admissions revenues were $481.2 million compared to $533.4 million for the same period a year ago.
Average ticket price was $9.63 compared to $9.91 for the same period a year ago.
- Food and beverage revenues were $243.5 million, compared to $250.5 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2015. Food and beverage revenues per patron increased 4.7% to an all-time high record of $4.87. This quarter marks nine of
the last ten quarters AMC has set an all-time high record in food and beverage per patron.
- Net earnings were $24.0 million and diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) were $0.24 compared to
$43.9 million and $0.45, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) were $0.24 compared to $0.48 for the three months
ended June 30, 2015. Included in adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately
$5.5 million of merger and acquisition costs.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $129.6 million compared to $157.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1) for the second quarter was 17.0% compared to 19.2%, for the same
period a year ago.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $40.8 million compared
to $68.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
“It would ordinarily be difficult to be pleased with a quarter in which a lackluster film slate caused us to share in the
industrywide box office revenue decline that was down domestically some 10.7% per screen year-over-year. However, we are encouraged
that this trend has already reversed itself with industry box office revenues up more than 7% as of July 29th, and a
potentially record setting film slate being close at hand for calendar year 2017,” said Adam Aron, AMC Chief Executive Officer and
President.
Aron added, “However, of far greater importance in our view, things that were within our control tell a much different story for
AMC. We made progress at AMC in the second quarter in four significant ways. First, our theatre renovations featuring recliner
seats, premium large format auditoriums and a refreshed overall decor continued to lead the industry, enhancing our appeal to
consumers. Second, thanks to continuing our innovation of the AMC theatre experience, food and beverage revenues per patron were an
all-time record for us. Third, we wholly revamped our already popular AMC Stubs® loyalty program, and tested it in 40 theatres in 6
markets. The test was so successful that we have already rolled out the new program nationally across our entire network.
Moviegoers are signing up to enroll in the new AMC Stubs® loyalty program at a rate 2 to 3 times than that for the previous
program, and the number of our total active members is already up approximately 20% in just a few short months. We believe
membership should continue to increase at a brisk pace, and this augers brightly for AMC's future. And fourth, our executives and
staff worked tirelessly to put us in a position to announce in July our acquisition of Odeon & UCI Cinemas in Europe as well as
a new merger agreement with Carmike Cinemas here in the United States. When either of these acquisitions close, AMC then becomes
overnight the largest movie exhibitor in the world. Taken together, this level of activity and progress is almost breathtaking,
enabling AMC to be uniquely positioned to deliver additional value to our guests, associates and shareholders.”
Highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2016 include the following:
- AMC set all-time high records for the six months ended June 30th period for all revenue
segments: total revenues, admissions revenues, food and beverage revenues and other revenues.
- Total revenues increased 3.8% to $1,530.0 million compared to total revenues of $1,474.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2015.
- Admissions revenues grew 1.2% to $963.8 million compared to $952.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2015. Average ticket price was $9.52 compared to $9.66 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and attendance grew 2.7%
to more the 101 million guests.
- Food and beverage revenues increased 8.1% to $487.7 million, compared to $451.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2015. Food and beverage revenues per patron increased 5.2% to a new six month record of $4.82.
- Net earnings increased 4.4% to $52.3 million and diluted earnings per share grew 3.9% to $0.53
compared to $50.1 million and $0.51, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) increased 18.6% to $0.51 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2015. Included in adjusted diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was
approximately $10.2 million of merger and acquisition costs.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) grew 0.9% to $276.0 million compared to $273.5 million and Adjusted
EBITDA Margin(1) was 18.0%, compared to 18.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2015, benefited from an $18.1 million
gain related to the termination of a post-retirement health benefit plan which caused our net periodic benefit costs to be much
lower than normal in the prior year. The gain was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative: other expense. Excluding
this gain in the prior year period, Adjusted EBITDA growth, year-over-year for the six months ended June 30, 2016, would have
shown an improvement of approximately 8.1%, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin improvement of 70 basis points from 17.3% to 18.0%.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased approximately
$25.0 million, or 28.4%, to $112.9 million compared to $87.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Acquisitions
Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group: As previously announced on July 12, 2016, AMC entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire the equity of the largest theatre exhibitor in Europe, London-based Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group
from private equity firm, Terra Firma in a transaction valued at approximately £921 million (including approximately £14 million of
employee incentive costs), comprised of £500 million for the equity, 75% in cash and 25% in stock consideration, subject to
lock-ups, and the assumption of £407 million of net debt as of March 31, 2016 to be simultaneously refinanced at closing. Assuming
the transaction closes December 31, 2016 and a GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.30 the transaction is valued at approximately $1,199
million under UK GAAP. The transaction is expected to produce annual cost synergies of approximately $10 million. The transaction
is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to antitrust clearance by the European Commission and
consultation with the European Works Council.
Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC): As previously announced on July 25, 2016, AMC has entered
into an amended and restated merger agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC)
(“Carmike”) for $33.06 per share, representing an approximate 32% premium to Carmike’s March 3, 2016, closing stock price. The
revised offer provides an additional $3.06 per share or 10.2% more than the previous offer. Carmike stockholders can elect to
receive $33.06 in cash or 1.0819 AMC shares per Carmike share, subject to a customary proration mechanism to achieve an aggregate
consideration mix of 70% cash and 30% in shares of AMC stock. The transaction is valued at approximately $1.2 billion, including
the assumption of Carmike’s net indebtedness, based on the closing trading price of AMC’s common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on July 22, 2016.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is diluted earnings per share
excluding a non-recurring postretirement net periodic benefit credit in the prior year, a loss on redemption of our 9.75%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 in the prior year quarter and year, a gain on sale of our investments in Real D during the
current year, a discrete tax benefit recorded in income tax provision during the prior year quarter and year and the related
tax effects of those adjustments. We have included adjusted diluted earnings per share because we believe it provides investors
with additional useful information on our performance and is used by management to assess our performance. We have calculated
the tax effects of the pre-tax adjustments described above using our effective Federal and State income tax rate for current
and deferred income taxes which is reflective of our estimated annual GAAP income tax rate forecast adjusted to account for
items excluded from GAAP income. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as
an alternative to diluted earnings per share, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. |
|

|
|
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA
as net earnings plus (i) income tax provision, (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further
adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and
to include any cash distributions of earnings from our equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized above.
You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In
evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to
some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference
that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure
and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative
to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP).
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted
EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance,
estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt.
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you
should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For
example, |
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA: |
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital
expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital
needs; |
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements
necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; |
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;
and |
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized
that may have to be replaced in the future. |
|
(3) |
|
|
Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed
screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens including the related
accretion of interest, non-cash deferred digital equipment rent expense, and disposition of assets and other non-operating
gains or losses included in operating expenses. We have excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature, include components
of interest cost for the time value of money or are non-operating in nature. |
|
(4) |
|
|
Other expense for the prior year quarter and prior year related to the cash tender offer and
redemption of the 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020. We exclude other expense and income related to financing
activities as the amounts are similar to interest expense or income and are non-operating in nature.
|
|
(5) |
|
|
Non-cash expense included in General and Administrative: Other |
|
(6) |
|
|
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues.
|
|
(7) |
|
|
We use Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a performance measure in our internal evaluation of operating
effectiveness and in making decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial
measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP). We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA minus the sum of cash distributions from non-consolidated
entities, cash taxes, cash interest, capital expenditures (excluding change in construction payables) net of landlord
contributions, mandatory payments of principal under any credit facility and payments under capital lease obligations and
financing lease obligations as further described in the table below. We make adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA for certain cash
requirements to determine amounts available for general capital purposes from our operations. Adjusted Free Cash Flow may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies or other similar measures of cash flow. We have
included Adjusted Free Cash Flow as we believe it provides a useful measure of funds available for general capital purposes
from our operations, and because it is used by management to evaluate the performance of our Company.
