IMAX CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

HIGHLIGHTS

 

-

Robust Q2 2016 signings of 95 IMAX® theatre systems, up 217% year-over-year

 

-

IMAX increases 2016 installation guidance to 155 theatres, up from original 2016 guidance of 115 to 120 theatres, underscoring strong worldwide demand for IMAX theatres

 

-

Record backlog of 442 systems represents 40% growth to existing network of 1,102 theatres

NEW YORK – July 20, 2016 – IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today reported second-quarter 2016 revenues of $91.7 million and GAAP net income after non-controlling interest of $7.8 million, or $0.11 per share. Adjusted net income after non-controlling interest was $12.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. EBITDA as calculated in accordance with the Company’s credit facility was $29.0 million. For reconciliations of adjusted net income to reported net income, adjusted earnings per share to reported earnings per share, and for the definition and reconciliation of EBITDA as calculated in accordance with the Company’s credit facility, please see the tables at the end of this press release.

“Demand for IMAX theatres has never been stronger and bodes well for our business as more signings lead to more installs, which then lead to more box office, and, ultimately, to greater revenue. Including the 95 theatres signed in the second quarter, we have signed nearly as many deals in the first half of 2016 as we did in all of 2015. This robust signings momentum has resulted in a record backlog, which includes a 40-theatre full revenue-share agreement with Guangzhou JinYi Media Corporation, a 25-theatre deal with AMC Theatres and additional multi-theatre agreements with several other key exhibition partners, and improves visibility into installations and ultimately revenue over the next several years. As a result, we are once again raising our installation guidance –this time to 155 theatres, up from our prior guidance range of 135 to 140 theatres and compared to our original 2016 install guidance range of 115 to 120 that was set late last year,” said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond.

Network Update:

During the quarter, the Company installed 40 theatres, of which 38 were for new theatre locations and two were upgrades. The Company also signed contracts for 95 theatres in the second quarter of 2016. The total IMAX theatre network consisted of 1,102 systems as of June 30, 2016, of which 990 were in commercial multiplexes. There were 442 theatres in backlog as of June 30, 2016, up 14% from the 388 in backlog as of March 31, 2016. For a breakdown of theatre system signings, installations, network and backlog by type, please see the end of this press release.

Box Office Update:

Gross box office from IMAX DMR® titles was $260.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $343.0 million in the prior-year period, which was the highest-grossing box office quarter in Company history and included Furious 7, Jurassic World, and Avengers: Age of Ultron last year. The average global DMR box office per-screen average in the second quarter of 2016 was $268,200.

“While IMAX faced a challenging comparison to last year’s second-quarter box office – which was the highest-grossing box office quarter in Company history – considering the strong outperformance in box office we saw in the first quarter, we believe our portfolio of titles released across the full year will result in an annual box office that is relatively consistent with our historical PSA. Looking ahead, we expect our heightened network growth in 2016, which is heavily weighted towards our joint revenue-sharing model, will position us well to capitalize on a promising array of upcoming tentpole franchises and sequels this year and next, including Suicide Squad, Marvel’s Dr. Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Kong: Skull Island, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man Homecoming, and, of course, Star Wars: Episode VIII.”

Second-Quarter Segment Results

 

   

Revenue from sales and sales-type leases was $18.7 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $18.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. The Company installed 13 full theatre systems under sales and sales-type lease arrangements in the most recent quarter, compared with the 15 full sales-type theatres the Company installed in the second quarter of 2015.

 

   

Revenue from joint revenue-sharing arrangements was $23.9 million in the quarter, compared with $31.6 million in the prior-year period. During the quarter, the Company installed 25 new theatres under joint revenue-sharing arrangements, compared with 20 in the second quarter of 2015. The Company had 559 theatres operating under joint revenue-sharing arrangements as of June 30, 2016, as compared to 477 joint revenue-sharing theatres one year prior.

 

   

Production and DMR revenues were $27.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2015. As mentioned above, gross box office from DMR titles was $260.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $343.0 million in the prior-year period, which was the highest grossing box office quarter in Company history and included Furious 7, Jurassic World, and Avengers: Age of Ultron last year. The global DMR per screen average in the second quarter of 2016 was $268,200, compared with $414,600 in same period last year.

 

   

Gross margin of 54.8%, compared with 64.4% last year, primarily resulting from lower box office, higher DMR cost and a larger mix of hybrid sales in the quarter.

 

   

Operating expenses (which include SG&A and R&D, and excludes stock-based compensation) were $27.7 million in the quarter, compared with $26.3 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Share Buybacks

The Company repurchased 1,344,094 shares in the second quarter of 2016, which does not include 68,430 shares purchased in connection with the Company’s long-term incentive plan. The Company purchased the shares at an average price of $30.55, for a total value of $41.1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In this release, the Company presents adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share as supplemental measures of performance of the Company, which are not recognized under U.S. GAAP. The Company presents adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable controllable operating performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand the impact of its stock-based compensation (net of any related tax impact) on net income. In addition, the Company presents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand the impact of net income attributable to non-controlling interests and its stock-based compensation (net of any related tax impact) in determining net income attributable to common shareholders. Management uses these measures to review operating performance on a comparable basis from period to period. However, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and net income attributable to common shareholders and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Credit Facility provides that the Company will be required at all times to satisfy a Minimum Liquidity Test (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $50.0 million. The Company will also be required to maintain minimum adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) of $100.0 million. The Company must also maintain a Maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of 2.25:1.0, which requirement decreases to (i) 2.0:1.0 on December 31, 2016; and (ii) 1.75:1.0 on December 31, 2017. The Company was in compliance with all of these requirements at June 30, 2016. The ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA was 0.21:1 as at June 30, 2016, where Total Debt (as defined in the credit agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments and was $28.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:

Management views free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a measure of the Company’s after-tax cash flow available to reduce debt, add to cash balances, and fund other financing activities. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is presented in the table below:
