  • Net Income of $3.1 million was $5.2 million higher than the $2.1 million loss in the 2008 Quarter

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Reading International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDI) announced today results for its quarter ended September 30, 2009.

2009 Highlights

    --  our EBITDA(1) for the 2009 September quarter was $11.0 million compared
        to $7.7 million in the 2008 quarter, an increase of 43.7%;
    --  for the 2009 nine months our EBITDA(1) was $33.0 million compared to
        $23.9 million in 2008, an increase of 38.2%;
    --  we continue to see local currency cinema revenue growth in both
        Australia and New Zealand, with Australia showing a 9.8% increase and
        New Zealand a 1.4% increase over the September quarter in 2008. In
        Australia, in local currency, this quarter's total as well as cinema
        revenue were again record highs, at AUS$27.6 million and AUS$24.5
        million, respectively;
    --  we reduced our general and administrative expenses by 4.3% for the
        quarter and 8.0% for the nine months, compared to prior year;
    --  our operating income for the quarter was $6.7 million compared to $3.4
        million in 2008, an increase of 97.4% and for the nine months at $13.2
        million it was 207.0% above the $4.3 million for the 2008 nine months;
        and
    --  primarily as a result of the stronger operating income, the second
        quarter 2009 Trust Preferred Security ("TPS") gain, and the fact that
        both the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar have recaptured
        some of their value since year end, when such currencies traded at
        $0.6983 and $0.5815, respectively, compared to $0.8824 and $0.7233
        respectively at September 30, 2009, our stockholders' equity has risen
        to $113.2 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $69.4 million at
        December 31, 2008.

On July 2, 2009, as part of the terms of settlement, we and Magoon Acquisition and Development, LLC ("Magoon LLC") closed on the sale of our respective interests in Malulani Investments, Limited ("MIL") and The Malulani Group, Limited (collectively, "MMG") and settled certain litigation with MMG and certain of their officers and Directors. As a result of the sale and the settlement (which was negotiated in March 2009), we received a total of $9.25 million consisting of $2.5 million in cash and $6.75 million in note receivable, and a ten-year tail interest in MMG. Based on the receipt of the cash and note receivable, we recognized an other operating income of $2.6 million and a gain on the sale of investment in an unconsolidated entity of $268,000. Under the terms of our Shareholders' Agreement with Magoon LLC, substantially all of the proceeds of this sale and settlement will be allocated to us, until we have recouped our initial investment in MIL and all costs advanced by us with respect to the litigation.

Third Quarter 2009 Discussion

Revenue from operations decreased from $57.9 million in the 2008 quarter to $56.1 million in 2009, a 3.2% decrease. The cinema segment revenue decrease of $1.7 million was driven by a $1.4 million decrease in the US, predominantly due to recognition of screen advertising revenue for prior quarters in 2008, recognized in the 3rd quarter of 2008, on the signing of the contract. The results of Australia and New Zealand were affected negatively by currency exchange movements even though we noted higher revenues in the local currencies for the period in both Australia and New Zealand. The top 3 grossing films for the quarter in our circuit worldwide were: "Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince," "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," and "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," which between them accounted for approximately 25.5% of our cinema box office revenue. Real estate segment revenue was down by $241,000 from quarter to quarter, as a result of the negative currency exchange effects in Australia and New Zealand as well as lower live theater rentals in the US. In local currencies, real estate revenue was flat in both Australia and New Zealand.

As a percentage of revenue, operating expense, at 77.9% in the 2009 quarter was basically flat to last year's quarter of 77.7%.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.1 million, or 21.6%, from $5.1 million in the 2008 quarter to $4.0 million in the 2009 quarter, primarily due to the effects of the purchase accounting finalization for our acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinema assets.

General and administrative expense decreased by $190,000 or 4.3%, from $4.4 million to $4.2 million in the 2009 quarter. This decrease was primarily related to cost cutting measures implemented worldwide.

We recorded $2.6 million as other operating income in the 2009 quarter associated with our settlement of the MIL litigation for the recovery of previously expensed litigation costs.

Driven by the above factors our operating income for the quarter increased by $3.3 million to $6.7 million compared to $3.4 million in the same quarter last year.

Interest expense decreased by $482,000 from $4.0 million in the 2008 quarter, to $3.5 million in the 2009 quarter. This was primarily related to the mark-to-market of our interest swaps and cap and decreased interest expense due to the retirement of our trust preferred securities in the second quarter of 2009 which was offset by an interest expense increase due to our ceasing to capitalize interest on our development properties, where development has been substantially curtailed.

For the 2009 quarter, we recorded an other income of $178,000 compared to an other loss of $739,000 for the 2008 quarter, a $917,000 change. For the 2009 quarter, the $178,000 was predominantly equity earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. The 2008 quarter other loss of $739,000 was primarily related to a $1.0 million property impairment expense.

In 2009, we recorded a gain on the sale of an investment in an unconsolidated entity of $268,000 related to the sale of our investment in MIL.

As a result of the above, we reported a net income of $3.1 million for the 2009 quarter compared to a net loss of $2.1 million in the 2008 quarter.

Our EBITDA(1) at $11.0 million for the 2009 quarter was $3.4 million higher than the 2008 quarter of $7.7 million.

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2009 quarter was $8.2 million after excluding:

  • the $268,000 other nonoperating gain on the sale of the MIL security; and
  • the $2.6 million other operating income associated with our settlement of the MIL litigation.

There were no significant adjustments to EBITDA(1) in the 2008 quarter.

Nine Months 2009 Summary

Revenue from operations increased from $151.4 million in 2008 to $157.6 million in 2009, a 4.1% increase. The cinema segment revenue increase of $8.1 million was driven by an increase of $12.3 million in the US primarily resulting from revenue from our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas and decreases in Australia of $1.3 million and New Zealand of $2.8 million. The decreases in Australia and New Zealand were currency exchange driven as the local currency cinema revenues were up 17.9% in Australia and 2.6% in New Zealand, compared to the 2008 nine months. The top 3 grossing films for the nine months in our circuit worldwide were: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," "Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince" and "The Hangover," which between them accounted for approximately 12.6% of our cinema box office revenue. The real estate segment revenue was down by $131,000 from 2008 to 2009, as a result of the negative currency exchange effects in Australia and New Zealand as well as lower live theater rentals in the US. In local currencies, real estate revenue was basically flat in both Australia and New Zealand.

As a percentage of revenue, operating expense, at 77.7% in 2009 was lower than the 78.3% of 2008. This decrease was primarily related to the final allocation for accounting purposes of a greater portion of the purchase price paid for our Consolidated Entertainment cinemas to goodwill and below market leases than originally estimated. This change, effective in the fourth quarter of 2008, resulted in higher straight-line rent and acquired lease costs in 2008 than in 2009.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $3.3 million, or 23.0%, from $14.5 million in 2008 to $11.2 million in 2009, primarily due to the previously mentioned purchase accounting adjustments for our acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinema assets.

As the sale of our Auburn property is no longer proceeding, we have moved the property back to continuing operations, and as a result we expensed $549,000 as catch-up depreciation, classified as loss on transfer of real estate from held for sale to continuing operations.

General and administrative expense decreased by $1.1 million or 8.0%, from $14.0 million to $12.9 million in 2009. This decrease was primarily related to cost cutting measures implemented worldwide and the one-time 2008 purchase related costs of our Consolidated Entertainment acquisition.

We recorded $2.6 million as other operating income in the 2009 nine months associated with our settlement of the MIL litigation for the recovery of previously expensed litigation costs.

Driven by the above factors, our operating income for the 2009 nine months increased by $8.9 million to $13.2 million, from $4.3 million in the 2008 nine months.

Interest expense increased by $905,000, from $9.8 million in the 2008 nine months to $10.7 million in the 2009 nine months. This was primarily related to our ceasing to capitalize interest on our development properties, where development has been substantially curtailed, which resulted in an interest expense increase, which was offset by decreased interest expense due to the retirement of our trust preferred securities in the second quarter of 2009 and the mark-to-market of our interest swaps and cap.

In 2009, we recorded an other loss of $1.9 million compared to an other income of $2.9 million for the same period in 2008, a $4.7 million change. The 2009 other loss of $1.9 million included a $2.2 million loss on currency transactions; a $2.1 million other-than-temporary loss on our Becker marketable securities; offset by a $1.5 million gain on the Auburn option termination; and $861,000 in equity earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. The 2008 other income of $2.9 million was primarily related to a gain on currency transactions of $446,000; a $1.1 million receipt related to our Whitehorse Center litigation; $910,000 of insurance proceeds related to damage caused by Hurricane Georges in 1998 to one of our previously owned cinemas in Puerto Rico; and the settlement in our credit card dispute of $385,000.

During the 2009 nine months, we recorded a $10.7 million gain on retirement of subordinated debt (TPS), net of a $749,000 loss on deferred financing costs associated with the subordinated debt.

In 2009 and 2008 we recorded gains on the sale of investments in unconsolidated entities of $268,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, from the sale of our investments in MIL and the cinema at Botany Downs in Auckland, New Zealand.

As a result of the above, we reported a net income of $9.6 million for the 2009 nine months compared to a net loss of $2.0 million in the 2008 period.

Our EBITDA(1) at $33.0 million for the 2009 nine months was $9.1 million higher than the 2008 nine months of $23.9 million, predominantly driven by better operating margins (approximately $5.5 million) plus the gain on the TPS retirement (approximately $10.7 million) offset by the other income (loss) change (approximately $4.7 million) and the 2008 gain on sale (approximately $2.5 million).

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2009 nine months was $22.9 million after excluding:

  • the $10.7 million gain on the retirement of our TPS debt;
  • the $1.5 million gain from Auburn option payments;
  • the $268,000 gain on the sale from our investment in MIL securities; and
  • the $2.6 million other operating income associated with our settlement of the MIL litigation

offset by

  • the $549,000 loss on transfer of Auburn;
  • the realized transactional currency loss of $2.2 million; and
  • the $2.1 million other-than-temporary loss on our Becker available-for-sale shares.

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2008 nine months was $18.6 million after excluding:

  • the $2.5 million gain on sale of Botany; and
  • the $2.8 million in realized transactional currency gains and other one-time gains.

Balance Sheet

Our total assets at September 30, 2009 were $402.2 million compared to $371.9 million at December 31, 2008. The currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand as of September 30, 2009 were $0.8824 and $0.7233, respectively, and as of December 31, 2008, these rates were $0.6983 and $0.5815, respectively. As a result, currency had a positive effect on the balance sheet at September 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.

Our cash position at September 30, 2009 was $19.3 million compared to $30.9 million at December 31, 2008, reflecting the $11.5 million used to effectively repurchase $22.9 million of our TPS in the first quarter of 2009.

At the present time, we have approximately $4.9 million (AUS$5.5 million) in undrawn funds under our Australian Corporate Credit Facility. During May 2009, we extended the term of our New Zealand facility to March 31, 2012 and reduced the available borrowing amount to $32.5 million (NZ$45.0 million). As a result, we currently have undrawn funds of $21.7 million (NZ$30.0 million) available under our line of credit in New Zealand. Accordingly, we believe that we have sufficient borrowing capacity under our Australian Corporate Credit Facility and our New Zealand line of credit to meet our anticipated short-term working capital requirements.

Our working capital at September 30, 2009 was negative by $2.7 million compared to a positive working capital of $12.5 million at December 31, 2008, again driven by the $11.5 million TPS repurchase and a $7.0 million loan that has become short-term in nature.

Stockholders' equity was $113.2 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $69.4 million at December 31, 2008.

Individual Board members and individual members of our management team may have different views as to the risks and uncertainties involved, and may have different views as to future events or our operating performance.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements are the following:

  • With respect to our cinema operations:
        --  The number and attractiveness to movie goers of the films released in
            future periods;

            pictures;
        --  The licensing fees and terms required by film distributors from motion
            picture exhibitors in order to exhibit their films;
        --  The comparative attractiveness of motion pictures as a source of
            entertainment and willingness and/or ability of consumers (i) to spend
            their dollars on entertainment and (ii) to spend their entertainment
            dollars on movies in an outside the home environment; and
        --  The extent to which we encounter competition from other cinema
            exhibitors, from other sources of outside of the home entertainment, and
            from inside the home entertainment options, such as "home theaters" and
            competitive film product distribution technology such as, by way of
            example, cable, satellite broadcast, DVD and VHS rentals and sales, and
            so called "movies on demand;"
    
    
  • With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:
        --  The rental rates and capitalization rates applicable to the markets in
            which we operate and the quality of properties that we own;
        --  The extent to which we can obtain on a timely basis the various land use
            approvals and entitlements needed to develop our properties;
        --  the risks and uncertainties associated with real estate development;
        --  The availability and cost of labor and materials;
        --  Competition for development sites and tenants; and
        --  The extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor
            tenant which will, in turn, be influenced by the same factors as will
            influence generally the results of our cinema operations;
    
    
  • With respect to our operations generally as an international company involved in both the development and operation of cinemas and the development and operation of real estate; and previously engaged for many years in the railroad business in the United States:
        --  Our ongoing access to borrowed funds and capital and the interest that
            must be paid on that debt and the returns that must be paid on such
            capital;
        --  The relative values of the currency used in the countries in which we
            operate;
        --  Changes in government regulation, including by way of example, the costs
            resulting from the implementation of the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley;
        --  Our labor relations and costs of labor (including future government
            requirements with respect to pension liabilities, disability insurance
            and health coverage, and vacations and leave);
        --  Our exposure from time to time to legal claims and to uninsurable risks
            such as those related to our historic railroad operations, including
            potential environmental claims and health related claims relating to
            alleged exposure to asbestos or other substances now or in the future
            recognized as being possible causes of cancer or other health-related
            problems;
        --  Changes in future effective tax rates and the results of currently
            ongoing and future potential audits by taxing authorities having
            jurisdiction over our various companies; and
        --  Changes in applicable accounting policies and practices.
    
    

The above list is not necessarily exhaustive, as business is by definition unpredictable and risky, and subject to influence by numerous factors outside of our control such as changes in government regulation or policy, competition, interest rates, supply, technological innovation, changes in consumer taste and fancy, weather, and the extent to which consumers in our markets have the economic wherewithal to spend money on beyond-the-home entertainment.

Given the variety and unpredictability of the factors that will ultimately influence our businesses and our results of operation, it naturally follows that no guarantees can be given that any of our forward-looking statements will ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results will undoubtedly vary and there is no guarantee as to how our securities will perform either when considered in isolation or when compared to other securities or investment opportunities.

Finally, please understand that we undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any of our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. Accordingly, you should always note the date to which our forward-looking statements speak.

Additionally, certain of the presentations included in this press release may contain "pro forma" information or "non-US GAAP financial measures." In such case, a reconciliation of this information to our US GAAP financial statements will be made available in connection with such statements.
