"Total revenue decreased 2.2% to $338.0 million in the second quarter versus last year primarily due to decreased attendance as a result of weaker film product during the period. The prior year period was a tough comparator with its top three films ranked in the top seven highest grossing films of all time," said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex Entertainment. "These results were partially offset by an increased box office per patron of $9.62, a $0.17 increase from the prior year period, due to an all-time record share of guests choosing premium movie experiences which represented 50.4% of box office revenue. Media revenue also increased 14.8% to $40.2 million primarily due to higher Cineplex Digital Media revenue from an expanded client base and project installations. Other revenue increased 144.2% or $23.0 million primarily due to the consolidation of CSI following our acquisition last October of the remaining 50% interest. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $22.5 million or 34.5% compared to the prior year period due to the decrease in attendance and its impact on box office and food service revenue. Our adjusted EBITDA margins were negatively impacted by lower box office revenue and the ramping up of newly created and acquired businesses."

"Key accomplishments during the quarter include the installation of D-BOX motion seats into 18 auditoriums across the country, the addition of one UltraAVX auditorium and the selection of Cineplex Digital Media by 'The Beer Store' to create a digital and interactive display for their locations. Our SCENE loyalty program continues to grow its membership surpassing 7.7 million members during the quarter."

"Although box office results for the second quarter were softer than expected, our box office revenue is up 3.7% on a year-to-date basis and there remains an exciting film slate for the remainder of 2016 and 2017. We look forward to opening our first Rec Room location in the third quarter. We continue to execute our growth strategy and although this may impact our results in the short-term, we are encouraged about the growth opportunities in our newly created and acquired businesses."

Second Quarter
Second Quarter 2016 Top Cineplex Films				3D		% Box			Second Quarter 2015 Top Cineplex Films				3D		% Box
1		Captain America: Civil War		x		15.1	%		1		The Avengers: Age of Ultron		x		15.9	%
2		The Jungle Book		x		14.7	%		2		Jurassic World		x		15.6	%

5		Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice		x		4.8	%		5		Inside Out		x		5.3	%

Box office revenues decreased $24.1 million, or 12.9%, to $162.1 million during the second quarter of 2016, compared to $186.2 million reported in the same period in 2015. The decrease was due to the 14.4% decrease in attendance as a result of a weaker performing slate of films in the current period as compared to the prior year period. The prior year period was a tough comparator, with its top three films ranked in the top seven highest grossing films of all-time. The Easter statutory holiday, occurring in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 also had a negative impact on the period over period variance. 

The box office revenue decrease due to lower attendance was partially offset by higher BPP reported in the current period. BPP for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $9.62, a $0.17 increase from the prior year period. The increase in BPP was due to the higher percentage of box office revenues from premium product, which accounted for 50.4% of box office revenues in the current period, the highest proportion that premium product has contributed in a quarter in Cineplex's history, up from 46.3% in the prior year period. The increase was due to a higher proportion of strong performing 3D product as compared to 2D product in the current period, compared to the prior year period. 

Year to Date
Year to Date 2016 Top Cineplex Films				3D		% Box			Year to Date 2015 Top Cineplex Films				3D		% Box

4		The Jungle Book		x		6.7	%		4		Mad Max: Fury Road		x		3.9	%
5		Zootopia		x		6.3	%		5		American Sniper				3.8	%

Box office revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $354.8 million, an increase of $12.5 million or 3.7% over the prior year due to the higher BPP in the current year period compared to the 2015 period, supplemented by the 0.6% increase in attendance.

Cineplex's BPP for the period increased $0.29, or 3.2%, from $9.19 in the prior year period to $9.48 in the current period. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenues from 3D product in the current period compared to the prior year period. Premium priced offerings accounted for 45.0% of Cineplex's box office revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 36.7% in the prior year period.

Food service revenues

The following table highlights the movement in food service revenues, attendance and CPP for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars, except attendance and same store attendance reported in thousands of patrons, and per patron amounts):

Food service revenues		Second Quarter									Year to Date

Second Quarter

Food service revenues are comprised primarily of concession revenues, which includes food sales at theatre locations as well as non-theatre locations. Food service revenues decreased $11.6 million, or 10.7% as compared to the prior year period due to the 14.4% decrease in attendance, partially offset by the increase in CPP.

CPP increased 4.4% to $5.74, an all-time quarterly record for Cineplex, exceeding the previous record of $5.58 reported in the fourth quarter of 2015. Expanded offerings outside of core food service products, including offerings at Cineplex's VIP Cinemas and Outtakes locations, have contributed to increased visitation and higher average transaction values, resulting in the higher CPP in the period.

Year to Date

Food service revenues increased $9.6 million, or 4.8% as compared to the prior year, due to the 4.3% increase in CPP, supplemented by the 0.6% increase in attendance. The CPP of $5.58 in the current period is the highest CPP Cineplex has reported through the first six months of a year.

While the 10% SCENE discount and SCENE points issued on food service purchases reduce individual transaction values which impacts CPP, Cineplex believes that this loyalty program drives incremental visits and food service purchases, resulting in higher overall food service revenues.

Media revenues

The following table highlights the movement in media revenues for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars):

Media revenues		Second Quarter									Year to Date
		2016			2015			Change			2016			2015			Change
Cineplex Media		$	26,242		$	25,323		3.6	%		$	47,339		$	45,334		4.4	%
Cineplex Digital Media			13,944			9,697		43.8	%			25,905			18,758		38.1	%
Total media revenues		$	40,186		$	35,020		14.8	%		$	73,244		$	64,092		14.3	%

Second Quarter

Total media revenues increased 14.8% to $40.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period, representing a second quarter media revenue record for Cineplex. This increase was primarily due to higher Cineplex Digital Media revenues, which increased $4.2 million as expansion of the client base resulted in increased project installation revenues including clients Dairy Queen and The Beer Store and advertising revenue growth led by increases for TimsTV and the Oxford shopping mall network.

Year to Date

Total media revenues increased $9.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. The increase resulted from the $2.0 million increase in Cineplex Media revenues due primarily to new media initiatives and the $7.1 million increase in Cineplex Digital Media revenues earned from higher project installation revenues and advertising revenue growth due to an expansion of the client base.

Other revenues

The following table highlights the movement in games and other revenues for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars):

Other revenues		Second Quarter									Year to Date
		2016			2015			Change			2016			2015			Change
Games - Cineplex exhibition (i)		$	2,366		$	2,473		-4.3	%		$	5,157		$	4,493		14.8	%
Games - CSI excluding Cineplex exhibition (i)			22,223			-		NM				45,483			-		NM
Other			14,291			13,448		6.3	%			29,450			25,315		16.3	%
Total other revenues		$	38,880		$	15,921		144.2	%		$	80,090		$	29,808		168.7	%
(i) Cineplex receives a venue revenue share on games revenues earned at in-theatre game rooms and XCAPE Entertainment Centres. Games- Cineplex exhibition reports the total of this venue revenue share which is consistent with the historical presentation of Cineplex's Games revenues. Games - CSI excluding Cineplex exhibition reflects CSI's gross gaming revenues, net of the venue revenue share paid to Cineplex reflected in Games - Cineplex exhibition above.

Second Quarter

Other revenues increased 144.2% or $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the consolidation of CSI following Cineplex's acquisition on October 1, 2015 of the 50% of CSI it did not already own ($22.2 million). Prior to October 1, 2015, Cineplex equity accounted for its 50% interest in CSI, with the results included in "Share of income of joint ventures". Excluding CSI, Other revenues increased $0.7 million, or 4.6%. 

The decrease in Cineplex exhibition gaming revenues was due to the lower theatre attendance resulting in less traffic in the theatres. The increase of $0.8 million (6.3%) in Other in the period was primarily due to additional SCENE related revenues as well as the inclusion of WGN which was acquired in September 2015 and is not included in the prior year comparative. These increases are partially offset by lower revenues from enhanced guest service initiatives due to the lower theatre attendance in the period. 

Year to Date

For the year to date period, Other revenues have increased 168.7% or $50.3 million, compared to the prior year period primarily due to the consolidation of CSI ($45.5 million). Excluding CSI, Other revenues increased $4.8 million, or 16.1%. 

Cineplex exhibition gaming revenues increased 14.8% due to a higher number of XSCAPE entertainment centres open in the current period compared to the prior year period, supplemented by the 0.6% increase in attendance in the period. The increase of $4.1 million in Other in the period was primarily additional revenues arising from enhanced guest service initiatives and increased SCENE related revenues.

Film cost

The following table highlights the movement in film cost and the film cost percentage for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars, except film cost percentage):

Film cost		Second Quarter											Year to Date
		2016				2015				Change			2016				2015				Change
Film cost		$	90,677			$	102,155			-11.2	%		$	198,063			$	182,326			8.6	%
Film cost percentage (i)			55.9	%			54.9	%		1.0	%			55.8	%			53.3	%		2.5	%
(i) See non-GAAP measures section of this news release.

Second Quarter

Film cost varies primarily with box office revenues, and can vary from quarter to quarter usually based on the relative strength of the titles exhibited during the period. This is due to film cost terms varying by title and distributor. Film cost percentage during the second quarter was 55.9%, a 1.0% increase over the prior year period.

Year to Date

The year to date increase in film cost expense was due to the 2.5% increase in the film cost percentage in the period. The increase in film cost percentage in the current year is as a result of the concentration of box office revenues. For the year to date, the top five films in the current period accounted for 35.0% of box office revenues (2015 - top five represented 31.4%).

Cost of food service

The following table highlights the movement in cost of food service and cost of food service as a percentage of food service revenues ("concession cost percentage") for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars, except percentages and margins per patron):

Cost of food service		Second Quarter											Year to Date
		2016				2015				Change			2016				2015				Change
Cost of food service		$	21,603			$	23,921			-9.7	%		$	46,917			$	43,369			8.2	%
Concession cost percentage (i)			22.3	%			22.1	%		0.2	%			22.5	%			21.8	%		0.7	%
Concession margin per patron (i)		$	4.46			$	4.29			4.0	%		$	4.32			$	4.18			3.3	%
(i) See non-GAAP measures section of this news release.

Second Quarter

Cost of food service varies primarily with theatre attendance as well as the quantity and mix of offerings sold. The decrease in the cost of food service as compared to the prior year period was due to lower attendance resulting in the lower food service revenues, partially offset by the 0.2% increase in the concession cost percentage during the period. The increase in the concession cost percentage is due in part to the mix of food offerings. The addition of VIP theatres at four locations since the prior year period has contributed to the changing mix including more items outside of the core concession offerings, which tend to have higher costs. 

The concession margin per patron increased 4.0% from $4.29 in the second quarter of 2015 to $4.46 in the same period in 2016, reflecting the impact of the higher CPP during the period, partially offset by the impact of the higher concession cost percentage.

Year to Date

The increase in the cost of food service as compared to the prior year period was due to the higher food service revenues. The concession margin per patron increased from $4.18 in the prior year period to $4.32 in the current period, reflecting the impact of the higher CPP in the current period.

Despite the 10% discount offered to SCENE members and SCENE points offered on select offerings, which contributes to a higher concession cost percentage, Cineplex believes the SCENE program drives incremental attendance and purchase incidence which increases food service revenues and CPP.

Depreciation and amortization

The following table highlights the movement in depreciation and amortization expenses during the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of dollars):

Depreciation and amortization expenses		Second Quarter									Year to Date
		2016			2015			Change			2016			2015			Change
Depreciation of property, equipment and leaseholds		$	22,204		$	19,879		11.7	%		$	43,805		$	38,873		12.7	%
Amortization of intangible assets and other			3,775			1,923		96.3	%			7,179			3,829		87.5	%
Depreciation and amortization expenses as reported		$	25,979		$	21,802		19.2	%		$	50,984		$	42,702		19.4	%

The quarterly increase in depreciation of property, equipment and leaseholds of $2.3 million and year to date increase of $4.9 million was primarily due to the addition of equipment and leasehold improvements relating to assets acquired through acquisitions and new theatre construction. The increase in amortization of intangible assets and other is primarily due to intangible assets acquired in the WGN and CSI transactions.

Second Quarter

Theatre occupancy expenses increased $0.1 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($0.4 million) as well as higher same-store rent and higher other expenses (including real estate taxes), partially offset by $0.7 million higher one-time credits as compared to the prior year period.

Year to Date

The increase in theatre occupancy expenses of $1.8 million for the 2016 period compared to the prior year was due to the impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($0.9 million), higher same store rent expenses ($0.4 million), and higher other costs (including higher real estate taxes) ($0.4 million) as compared to the prior year period.

Second Quarter

Other operating expenses during the second quarter of 2016 increased $25.2 million or 28.2% compared to the prior year period. The major component of the increase is the inclusion of CSI which is not included in the prior year comparative ($19.6 million). 

Excluding CSI, operating expenses increased $5.5 million or 6.2%. This $5.5 million increase was primarily due to higher Media expenses due to higher Media business volumes, and amusement gaming and leisure expenses excluding CSI due to WGN, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2015 and not included in the prior year comparatives, as well as certain start-up costs related to The Rec Room with the first location opening in the third quarter of 2016.

Year to Date

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, other operating expenses increased $61.9 million or 36.4% compared to the prior year period. The major component of the increase is the inclusion of CSI ($39.7 million). Excluding CSI operating expenses increased $22.1 million or 13.0%. This $22.1 million variance is mainly due to $6.0 million in higher amusement gaming and leisure expenses for WGN and The Rec Room, $5.8 million in higher Media expenses due to higher Media business volumes, $2.5 million higher same-store payroll costs due to higher in-theatre business volumes in the first quarter of 2016, and the $2.3 million impact of new theatres net of the impact of disposed theatres. Marketing expenses were higher year over year due to the timing of initiatives, which were more heavily weighted to the first half of the year in 2016 compared to 2015 where initiatives were more heavily weighted to the second half of the year. 

General and administrative expenses

The following table highlights the movement in general and administrative ("G&A") expenses during the quarter and the year to date, including Share based compensation costs, and G&A net of these costs (in thousands of dollars):

G&A expenses		Second Quarter									Year to Date
		2016			2015			Change			2016			2015			Change
G&A excluding LTIP and option plan expense		$	14,808		$	13,490		9.8	%		$	29,796		$	27,606		7.9	%
LTIP (i)			3,082			1,709		80.3	%			6,735			6,092		10.6	%
Option plan			406			425		-4.5	%			825			837		-1.4	%
G&A expenses as reported		$	18,296		$	15,624		17.1	%		$	37,356		$	34,535		8.2	%
(i) LTIP includes the expense for the LTIP program as well as the expense for the executive and Board deferred share unit plans.

Second Quarter

G&A expenses increased $2.7 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period due to higher LTIP expenses ($1.4 million) and higher head office payroll expenses. The LTIP expense increase was due to a larger increase in the average closing Share price for the 90 days prior to June 30, 2016 (one of the variables used in the LTIP calculation) as compared to the prior period.

Year to Date

G&A expenses for the year to date period increased $2.8 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher head office payroll costs as well as a $0.6 million increase in LTIP expense as compared to the prior year period.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, INCOME TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ("EBITDA") (see non-GAAP measures section of this news release)

The following table presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period (in thousands of dollars, except adjusted EBITDA margin):

EBITDA		Second Quarter											Year to Date
		2016				2015				Change			2016				2015				Change
EBITDA		$	42,754			$	63,849			-33.0	%		$	99,457			$	103,338			-3.8	%
Adjusted EBITDA		$	42,768			$	65,310			-34.5	%		$	99,908			$	105,558			-5.4	%
Adjusted EBITDA margin			12.7	%			18.9	%		-6.2	%			13.9	%			16.6	%		-2.7	%

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 decreased $22.5 million, or 34.5%, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the lower theatre attendance resulting in lower film entertainment and content revenues as well as higher costs attributable to Cineplex's emerging businesses as it executes on its diversification strategy. These decreases were partially offset by higher media contribution mainly due to Cineplex Digital Media and higher contribution from CSI due to 100% ownership in the current period compared to 50% in the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 12.7% in the current period, down from 18.9% in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $5.7 million, or 5.4%, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was due to higher operating costs in the film entertainment and content businesses as well as costs incurred in support of Cineplex's emerging businesses, partially offset by the higher contribution from Cineplex Digital Media and CSI. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the period was 13.9%, a decrease of 2.7% from 16.6% in the prior year period. 

ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW (see non-GAAP measures section of this news release)

For the second quarter of 2016, adjusted free cash flow per common share of Cineplex was $0.40 as compared to $0.65 in the prior year period. The declared dividends per common share of Cineplex were $0.40 in the second quarter of 2016 and $0.39 in the prior year period. During the year ended June 30, 2016, Cineplex generated adjusted free cash flow per Share of $2.50, compared to $2.33 per Share in the year ended June 30, 2015. Cineplex declared dividends per Share of $1.57 and $1.51, respectively, in each year. The payout ratios for these periods were approximately 62.7% and 64.8%, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not measures recognized by GAAP and do not have standardized meanings in accordance with such principles. Therefore, EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow to evaluate performance primarily because of the significant effect certain unusual or non-recurring charges and other items have on EBITDA from period to period.

EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense net of interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for losses on disposal of assets, the equity income of CDCP, the non-controlling interests' share of EBITDA of WGN and BSL, and depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes of Cineplex's other joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure generally used by Canadian corporations, as an indicator of financial performance and it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and from cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on www.sedar.com.

Per Patron Revenue Metrics

Cineplex reviews per patron metrics as they relate to box office revenue and concession revenue such as BPP, CPP, BPP excluding premium priced product, and concession margin per patron, as these are key measures used by investors to value and assess Cineplex's performance, and are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry. Management of Cineplex defines these metrics as follows:

Attendance: Attendance is calculated as the total number of paying patrons that frequent Cineplex's theatres during the period.

BPP: Calculated as total box office revenues divided by total paid attendance for the period.

BPP excluding premium priced product: Calculated as total box office revenues for the period, less box office revenues from 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and IMAX product; divided by total paid attendance for the period, less paid attendance for 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and IMAX product.

CPP: Calculated as total food service revenues divided by total paid attendance for the period.

Premium priced product: Defined as 3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP film product.

Concession margin per patron: Calculated as total food service revenues less total cost of food service, divided by attendance for the period.

Same Store Analysis

Cineplex reviews and reports same store metrics relating to box office revenues, concession revenues, rent expense and payroll expense, as these measures are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry as well as other retail industries. Same store metrics are calculated by removing the results for all theatres that have been opened, acquired, closed or otherwise disposed of subsequent to the start of the prior year comparative period. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the impact of the three locations that have been opened or acquired and the two locations that have been closed have been excluded, resulting in 159 theatres being included in the same store metrics. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the impact of the four locations that have been opened or acquired and the three locations that have been closed have been excluded, resulting in 158 theatres being included in the same store metrics.

Cost of sales percentages

Cineplex reviews and reports cost of sales percentages for its two largest revenue sources, box office revenues and concession revenues as these measures are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry. These measures are reported as film cost percentage and concession cost percentage, respectively, and are calculated as follows:

Film cost percentage: Calculated as total film cost expense divided by total box office revenues for the period.

Concession cost percentage: Calculated as total food service costs divided by total food service revenues for the period.
