Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for the Second Quarter Of 2020

CNK

PLANO, Texas

Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the world, today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company’s financial results continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Company temporarily closed its theatres effective March 18, 2020. During late June 2020, the Company opened five theatres in the US, showing library content, to test its new health and safety protocols. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s U.S. operating segment had 13 thousand patrons attend these test-and-learn theatres generating $37.0 thousand of admissions revenues and $57.0 thousand of concession revenues. Total revenues were $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which also included the amortization of deferred NCM screen advertising advances.

The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $(170.4) million, which included a restructuring charge of $19.5 million. The restructuring charge was a result of a permanent reduction in headcount and permanent closure of certain under-performing theatres. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $(1.45) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $(117.6) million. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release and at investors.cinemark.com.

“While our company and industry continue to be significantly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, our team has been working diligently to prepare for reopening our theatres within this new operating environment,” stated Mark Zoradi, Cinemark Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the comprehensive cleaning and safety protocols we have established in The Cinemark Standard, will enable us to effectively operate our theatres while prioritizing the health of our employees, guests and communities. Our test-and-learn theatres have been instrumental in honing the training, communication, and execution of The Cinemark Standard, as well as garnering guest insights regarding its implementation. We are thrilled that 97% of guests surveyed have expressed high satisfaction with how Cinemark is protecting their health and safety. We greatly look forward to initiating the rollout of our theatres beginning August 21st as we welcome our employees and guests back to our Cinemark theatres for great cinematic storytelling.”

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $552.6 million compared to $1,672.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, admissions revenues were $292.5 million and concession revenues were $190.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, attendance was 45.8 million patrons, average ticket price was $6.39 and concession revenues per patron were $4.16.

Net loss attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $(230.0) million compared to net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. of $133.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $(1.96) compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.14 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $(51.4) million compared to $397.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release and at investors.cinemark.com.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s aggregate screen count was 5,977 and the Company had commitments to open four new theatres and 34 screens during the remainder of 2020 and 18 new theatres and 189 screens subsequent to 2020.

Constant currency amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding month for 2019. We translate the results of our international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance that excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and other items, as calculated below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income 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 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 and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.
