Selected Fourth-Quarter Financial Results

 

·

Revenue: Fourth-quarter total revenues were $1.4 billion, down 0.2% on a GAAP basis (up 0.9% on a constant currency basis) from the year-ago quarter. Results were driven by strong food and beverage revenues, up 4.8% primarily due to an increase in U.S. attendance that marked a fourth quarter U.S. attendance record, and other revenues, which grew 11.0% largely from the increases in online ticket fee revenues and the adoption of ASC 606. Total revenues were affected by lower admissions revenues, down 3.9% primarily driven by industry-wide softness in Europe and a 6.7% decline in U.S. average ticket prices, offset by a 5.3% increase in U.S. attendance. The U.S. average ticket price was primarily affected by declines in IMAX and 3D volumes, as well as A-List and promotional pricing. Excluding the impact of A-List, the U.S. average ticket price would have declined 3.3%.

 

·

Net Earnings: Net earnings was $170.6 million, compared with a net loss of $276.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net income included, among other items, $165.5 million of income related to the quarterly fair-value remeasurement of a derivative liability and derivative asset, and $310.0 million of prior year tax expense related to the impact of both the change in the U.S. enacted federal income tax rate and a full valuation allowance on AMC’s deferred income tax assets.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA:  Total Adjusted EBITDA was $264.1 million, down 8.4% (down 6.8% on a constant currency basis) from the year-ago quarter. International Adjusted EBITDA grew 0.4% (up 5.1% on a constant currency basis), while U.S. markets Adjusted EBITDA declined 12.9%. The decline in total Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a shift in film slate mix that resulted in fewer 3D and IMAX viewings, a decline in cash distributions from non-consolidated entities related to the sale of AMC’s remaining stake in National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”), and the anticipated impact from the initial ramp up of A-List.

   

·

Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $224.4 million, compared with $307.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted free cash flow was $131.7 million, compared with $211.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in adjusted free cash flow was primarily driven by the timing of maintenance capital expenditures, higher cash taxes related to asset sales, higher cash interest, and the decline in Adjusted EBITDA.

 

 

Selected Full-Year Financial Results

 

·

Revenue: Full-year total revenues were a record $5.5 billion, up 7.5% on a GAAP basis (up 6.6% on a constant currency basis) from last year. Results were driven by strength in admissions revenues, up 4.8% primarily from a 6.1% increase in U.S. attendance, and food and beverage revenues, up 8.0% from a combination of attendance increase and higher food and beverage revenues per patron. In addition, other revenues were up 34.2%, the result of higher online ticket fee revenues and the benefit from the adoption of ASC 606. All revenue categories benefited from the full year contribution from Nordic Cinema Group Holdings AB (“Nordic”) versus nine months in 2017, which contributed approximately 2.1% of total revenue growth.

 

·

Net Earnings: Net earnings were $110.1 million, compared with a net loss of $487.2 million last year. The increase in net income included, among other items, $111.4 million of income related to the fair-value remeasurement of a derivative liability and derivative asset, $208.0 million of prior year impairment charge on AMC’s investment in NCM, and $310.0 million of prior year tax expense related to the impact of both the change in the U.S. enacted federal income tax rate and a full valuation allowance on AMC’s deferred income tax assets.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA: Total Adjusted EBITDA was $929.2 million, up 13.0% (up 12.5% on a constant currency basis) from last year as the Company benefited from operating leverage. U.S. markets Adjusted EBITDA grew 14.8%, primarily due to strong attendance, an increase in demand for food and beverage, and the adoption of ASC 606. International Adjusted EBITDA grew 7.6%, primarily driven by the full year contribution from Nordic versus nine months in 2017. Full year 2018 also included additional domestic related items which affected comparability to


 

2017, including a one-time reduction in rent related to a lease modification, the anticipated impact from the initial ramp of A-List, a decrease in cash distributions from non-consolidated entities related to the sale of AMC’s remaining stake in NCM, and an increase in other general and administrative costs due to legal settlement payments and incentive compensation payments related to strong 2018 full year performance. The anticipated A-List impact to Adjusted EBITDA in the final six months of 2018 falls within the previously disclosed $10 million to $15 million range for a reduction to total Adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2018; this was achieved despite signing up nearly double the number of subscribers originally anticipated by year-end 2018.

 

·

Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $523.2 million, compared with $537.4 million last year. Adjusted free cash flow was $298.2 million, compared with $329.1 million last year. The decline in adjusted free cash flow was affected by an increase in deferred rent, primarily related to a one-time lease modification, higher cash interest payments, and higher cash taxes related to the sale of assets.  Additionally, the 24.1 million shares repurchased from Wanda in September resulted in a $4.8 million reduction to dividends paid in 2018 and is expected to result in a $19.3 million reduction to annual dividends paid based on the current quarterly dividend of $0.20.

 

 

Other Key Highlights

 

·

Industry Performance: In full year 2018, the U.S. industry box office was up 6.9% to $11.9 billion, marking the highest grossing year ever recorded with February, April, June, and October setting all-time box office monthly records. Internationally, the industry box office in countries served by Odeon and Nordic’s theatres witnessed a 5.2% decline and a 1.6% increase, respectively, on a constant currency basis. The industry box office across Europe was affected by underperforming Hollywood titles, weak local product, and competing viewership from the FIFA World Cup.

·

Circuit Update: As of December 31, 2018, AMC owned, operated, or had interests in 637 theatres in the U.S. and 369 theatres internationally. In 2018, the Company added premium recliner seating to 58 theatres in the U.S. and 19 theatres internationally. Included in those theatre counts, AMC opened 8 new build theatres and made 3 spot acquisitions of single theatre locations throughout the year. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2018, AMC re-opened the iconic Odeon Leicester Square Theatre in London after an extensive, multi-million-GBP luxury refurbishment. As part of the renovations, AMC introduced the first ever Dolby Cinema auditorium in the UK. 2018 also marked the opening of a new world-class luxury theatre in Oslo, Norway, which has become the highest attendance theatre in Norway.

 

·

Stubs A-List Program: Since its launch in June 2018, the A-List VIP tier of the successful AMC Stubs loyalty program has already attracted more than 700,000 subscribers, far in excess of initial internal expectations. At this membership level, the subscriber base is expected to generate more than $150 million of annual recurring revenue and, based on historical performance, in excess of $300 million when factoring in food and beverage purchases and full fare tickets purchased by bring-along guests such as family and friends. The A-List subscription program represents a meaningful opportunity to shift a portion of AMC’s business to a recurring subscription model, thereby increasing revenue visibility, reducing box office volatility, and driving long-term customer loyalty. We expect the program to become accretive to Adjusted EBITDA in 2019, a year earlier than originally anticipated.

 

·

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Starting in the fourth quarter of 2018, AMC is disclosing a new “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” metric as a measure of our liquidity.  We believe this measure is indicative of our ability to generate cash from operations in excess of maintenance capital expenditures and certain other non-operating costs, and for other uses including repayment of our corporate borrowings and generating cash for growth opportunities. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as (i) cash flow from operations, plus (ii) merger and acquisition expenses, less (iii) maintenance capital expenditures, less (iv) landlord contributions. In 2018, the Company generated adjusted free cash flow of $298.2 million and invested an additional $459.8 million into growth capital expenditures ($320.0 million, net of $127.6 million of landlord contributions and $12.2 million of changes in construction payables). These investments relate to the Company’s strategic growth


 

initiatives (e.g., recliner renovations, premium large formats, premium food and beverage) and may be adjusted in the future depending on the Company’s strategic priorities and general economic conditions. See the tables included later in this press release for further information on adjusted free cash flow.

 

·

Cash Dividend: The Company paid approximately $20.7 million of dividends in the fourth quarter of 2018 and approximately $258.1 million in the full year, inclusive of a special dividend of approximately $160.5 million in September.

1)

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (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 attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from other 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-U.S. GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance (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 and estimate our value.

 

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;

 

·

does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and

 

·

does not reflect the impact of divestitures that were required in connection with recently completed acquisitions.

 

2)

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. The Company has 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.

 

3)

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded equity in earnings related to our sale of all remaining NCM units of $28.9 million and a gain of $30.1 million related to the Screenvision merger. Equity in loss of non-consolidated entities also includes loss on the surrender (disposition) of a portion of our investment in NCM of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes a lower of carrying value or fair value impairment loss of the held-for sale portion of our investment in NCM of $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.    Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $208.0 million to reduce the carrying value of our investment in NCM to Level 1 fair value during the year ended December 31, 2017. An other-than-temporary impairment charge of $204.5 million was recorded on our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017, of $7.42 and an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded on our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on December 31, 2017 of $6.86, based on our determination that the decline in the price per share during the respective quarters was other than temporary. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes loss on the sale of a portion of our investment in NCM of $22.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

4)

Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non-theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. The Company believes including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to its operations.

 

5)

Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from minority equity investments in theatre operators in certain international markets. See below for a reconciliation of the Company’s equity (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where the Company holds a significant market share, the Company believes attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. The Company also provides services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and our gift card and package ticket program. As these investments relate only to our Nordic acquisition, the second quarter of 2017 represents the first time the Company has made this adjustment and does not impact prior historical presentations of Adjusted EBITDA.

Other expense (income) for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 includes financing losses and financing related foreign currency transaction losses. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a gain of $165.5 million and $111.4 million, respectively, as a result of a decrease in fair value of our derivative liability and an increase in fair value of our derivative asset for the Convertible Notes due 2024. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes $3.0 million financing related foreign currency transaction gains, partially offset by $1.3 million in fees relating to third-party fees related to the Third Amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and a $0.4 million loss on the redemption of the Bridge Loan Facility.

 

7)

Merger, acquisition and transition costs are excluded as they are non-operating in nature.

Stock-based compensation expense is non-cash or non-recurring expense included in General and Administrative: Other.

1)

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (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 attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from other 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-U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) margin 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 and estimate our value.

 

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as analytical tools, 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;

 

·

does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and

 

·

does not reflect the impact of divestitures that were required in connection with recently completed acquisitions.

 

2)

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, 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.

 

3)

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded equity in earnings related to our sale of all remaining NCM units of $28.9 million and a gain of $30.1 million related to the Screenvision merger. Equity in loss of non-consolidated entities also includes loss on the surrender (disposition) of a portion of our investment in NCM of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes a lower of carrying value or fair value impairment loss of the held-for sale portion of our investment in NCM of $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.    Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $208.0 million to reduce the carrying value of our investment in NCM to Level 1 fair value during the year ended December 31, 2017. An other-than-temporary impairment charge of $204.5 million was recorded on our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017, of $7.42 and an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded on our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on December 31, 2017 of $6.86, based on our determination that the decline in the price per share during the respective quarters was other than temporary. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes loss on the sale of a portion of our investment in NCM of $22.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

4)

Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non-theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. We believe including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to our operations.

 

5)

Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain international markets. See below for a reconciliation of our equity (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where we hold a significant market share, we believe attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. We also provide services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and our gift card and package ticket program. As these investments relate only to our Nordic acquisition, the second quarter of 2017 represents the first time we have made this adjustment and does not impact prior historical presentations of Adjusted EBITDA.

Other expense (income) for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 includes financing losses and financing related foreign currency transaction losses. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a gain of $165.5 million and $111.4 million, respectively, as a result of a decrease in fair value of our derivative liability and an increase in fair value of our derivative asset for the Convertible Notes due 2024. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes $3.0 million financing related foreign currency transaction gains, partially offset by $1.3 million in fees relating to third-party fees related to the Third Amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and a $0.4 million loss on the redemption of the Bridge Loan Facility.    

 

7)

Merger, acquisition and transition costs are excluded as it is non-operating in nature.

 

8)

Stock-based compensation expense is Non-cash or non-recurring expense included in General and Administrative: Other.

 

9)

 The International segment information for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018 has been adjusted for constant currency. Constant currency amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding period for 2017. 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 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.

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2018, AMC will disclose a new “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” metric as a measure of our liquidity.  We believe this measure is indicative of our ability to generate cash in excess of maintenance capital expenditures and certain other non-operating costs and for other uses including repayment of our corporate borrowings and generating cash for growth opportunities.

1)

We present “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as a supplemental measure of our liquidity.  Management uses this measure and we believe  it is helpful to investors as an indication of our ability to generate cash in-excess-of maintenance capital expenditures and certain other non-operating and costs and for other uses including repayment of our corporate borrowings and generating cash for growth opportunities.  Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus merger, acquisition and transaction costs, less maintenance capital expenditures and landlord contributions.  Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.  It should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to net cash provided by operating activities. The term adjusted free cash flow may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Also provided is a reconciliation of Capital Expenditures disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows made up of growth capital expenditures, maintenance capital expenditures and change in construction payables as further explanation of the components of adjusted free cash flow.

 

2)

Merger, acquisition and transition costs are excluded as they are non-operating.   We excluded the 2017 Loss on NCM that was recorded in Merger, acquisition and transaction costs since it was non-cash.

 

3)

Maintenance capital expenditures are amounts required to keep our existing theatres in compliance with regulatory requirement and in a sustainable good operating condition, including expenditures for repair of HVAC, sight and sound systems, compliance with ADA requirements and technology upgrades of existing systems.

 

4)

Growth capital expenditures are investments that enhance the guest experience and grow revenues and profits and include initiatives such as theatre remodels, acquisitions, newly built theatres, premium large formats, enhanced food and beverage offerings and service models and technology that enable efficiencies and additional revenue opportunities. We did not deduct these from adjusted free cash flow because they are discretionary, and the related benefits may not be fully reflected in our net cash provided by operating activities.

 


 

5)

Landlord contributions represent reimbursements in our strategic growth initiatives by our landlords. 

 

6)

Change in construction payables are changes in amounts accrued for capital expenditures and are not deducted or added back to Adjusted Free Cash Flow as they fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing of actual payments.

Financial Information

Reconciliations and definitions of non-GAAP financial measures (Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and constant currency amounts) are provided in the financial schedules included below and in our financial tables that accompany our fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings press release issued February 28, 2019 and available at http://investor.amctheatres.com. 

 

Additional information detailing select unaudited pro forma financial data for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 is included below in this Supplemental Financial Information which has been published in the investor relations section of AMC’s website located at http://investor.amctheatres.com and furnished with the SEC on Form 8-K dated February 28, 2019. The Company believes the pro forma information provides a more comparable view of its results relative to prior periods. The select unaudited pro forma data for the year ended December 31, 2017 combines the historical financial data of AMC and Nordic, giving effect to the acquisition, financings and theatre divestitures related to our acquisition of Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) as if they had been completed on January 1, 2017.  The pro forma data for the year ended December 31, 2017 also removes the non-recurring direct incremental costs of the Odeon acquisition, the Carmike acquisition and the Nordic acquisition. The unaudited proforma data for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 removes the non-recurring direct incremental costs of the Odeon acquisition, the Carmike acquisition and the Nordic acquisition. The historical consolidated financial information for Nordic has been adjusted to comply with U.S. GAAP. The classification of certain items presented by Nordic under IFRS has been modified in order to align with the presentation used by AMC under U.S. GAAP. In addition to the U.S. GAAP adjustments and the reclassifications, amounts have also been translated to U.S. Dollars. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations would actually have been had the acquisitions occurred on the date indicated. Please refer to the August 1, 2017 Form 8-K and 8-K/A on December 4, 2017 for additional information on pro forma financial statement adjustments. 

 

Additional constant currency information adjusting unaudited historical financial data for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 using average monthly currency rates from the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 is also presented for comparative purposes.

The select unaudited pro forma data for the year ended December  31, 2017 gives effect to the Nordic acquisition and theatre divestitures related to our Carmike acquisition, as if they had been completed on January 1, 2017. The pro forma data also removes the non-recurring direct incremental costs of the Odeon acquisition, the Carmike acquisition and the Nordic acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations would actually have been had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated. Reconciliations of the pro forma information to our historical financial information are provided in the tables below titled “Unaudited Pro Form Condensed Combined Financial Information.” Please refer to the August 1, 2017 Form 8-K and December 4, 2017 Form 8-K/A for additional information on pro forma financial statement adjustments.

 

1)

We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (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 attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from other 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. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA

8

 


 

divided by Total Revenues. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) margin 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because we believe they provide management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and estimate our value.

 

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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:

 

·

do not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

·

do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

·

do not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

 

·

exclude income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;

 

·

do not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and

 

·

do not reflect the impact of divestitures that were required in connection with recently completed acquisitions.

 

2)

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, 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.

 

3)

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded equity in earnings related to our sale of all remaining NCM units of $28.9 million and a gain of $30.1 million related to the Screenvision merger. Equity in loss of non-consolidated entities also includes loss on the surrender (disposition) of a portion of our investment in NCM of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes a lower of carrying value or fair value impairment loss of the held-for sale portion of our investment in NCM of $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.    Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $208.0 million to reduce the carrying value of our investment in NCM to Level 1 fair value during the year ended December 31, 2017. An other-than-temporary impairment

9

 


 

charge of $204.5 million was recorded on our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017, of $7.42 and an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded on our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on December 31, 2017 of $6.86, based on our determination that the decline in the price per share during the respective quarters was other than temporary. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities includes loss on the sale of a portion of our investment in NCM of $22.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

4)

Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non-theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. We believe including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to our operations.

 

5)

Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain international markets. See below for a reconciliation of our equity (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where we hold a significant market share, we believe attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. We also provide services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and our gift card and package ticket program. As these investments relate only to our Nordic acquisition, the second quarter of 2017 represents the first time we have made this adjustment and does not impact prior historical presentations of Adjusted EBITDA.

Other expense (income) for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 includes financing losses and financing related foreign currency transaction losses.

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes $3.0 million financing related foreign currency transaction gains, partially offset by $1.3 million in fees relating to third-party fees related to the Third Amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and a $0.4 million loss on the redemption of the Bridge Loan Facility.

The pro forma numbers and related reconciliation to historical numbers for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 appear elsewhere in these tables. The International segment information for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018 has been adjusted for constant currency. Constant currency amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding period for 2017. 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 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.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“AMC”  or the “Company”) is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the acquisition of Nordic Cinema Group Holdings AB (“Nordic or the “Nordic Acquisition”); (ii) the issuance of $475,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 and £250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 used to fund the Nordic Acquisition (clauses (ii), referred to as the “Financings”); (iii) the issuance of 20,330,874 shares ($640,423,000 at an offering price of $31.50 per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to repay the $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loans incurred to partially finance the Carmike acquisition and for general and corporate purposes (the “2017 Equity Offering”) and (iv) the settlement the Company entered into with the United States Department of Justice, pursuant to which the Company agreed to divest theatres in 15 local markets where it has an overlap with Carmike (the “Theatre Divestitures”).

 

The pro forma financial information is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the foregoing transactions that we believe are factually supportable and expected to have a  continuing impact on our consolidated results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Nordic, giving effect to the Nordic Acquisition, the Financings, the Theatre Divestitures and the 2017 Equity Offering as if they had been completed on January 1, 2017. The historical consolidated financial information for Nordic has been adjusted to comply with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The classification of certain items by Nordic under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) has been modified in order to align with the presentation used by the Company under U.S. GAAP. In addition to the U.S. GAAP adjustments and the reclassifications, amounts for Nordic have also been translated to U.S. dollars. 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by the Company, as the acquirer, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to  a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The assets and liabilities of Nordic have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based on information that is currently available. The pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that the Company and Nordic would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the Nordic Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any potential cost savings that may be realized as a result of the Nordic Acquisition and also does not reflect any restructuring or integration-related costs to achieve those potential cost savings. No historical transactions between Nordic and the Company during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified at this time.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the settlement we entered into with the United States Department of Justice, pursuant to which we agreed to divest most of our holdings and relinquish all of our governance rights in NCM, our joint venture for cinema screen advertising, and (ii) agreed to transfer 24 theatres with a  total of 384 screens to the network of Screenvision LLC, the cinema screen advertising business in which Carmike participates.

 

The Company previously filed unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations in its 8-K/A on March 13, 2017,  Form 8-K on August 1, 2017,  August 4, 2017, and  November 6, 2017 and Form 8-K/A on December 4, 2017 and has updated Note 5 from the previously file 8-K/A and 8-K to include the pro forma impacts of the Nordic Acquisition, the Nordic Financing and the Theatre Divestitures for 2017.

5. Pro Forma Adjustments (dollars in thousands)

(a)Adjustment to remove the non-recurring direct incremental costs of the Odeon acquisition, the Carmike acquisition and the Nordic Acquisition which are reflected in the historical financial statements of the Company, Odeon, Carmike and Nordic.

(b)Adjustment to record tax benefit in U.S. tax jurisdictions for the Company at the Company’s effective income tax rate of 39%. Income and expenses recorded historically by Nordic were not significantly tax effected in foreign jurisdictions as a result of available unrecorded deferred tax assets including net operating loss carryforwards. As a result pro forma adjustments do not result in significant amounts of additional income tax expense or benefit in these foreign jurisdictions.

(d)Adjustment Relating to Department of Justice Proposed Divestitures

 

Adjustments to remove Carmike and AMC historical revenues and expenses for theatres in markets that must be divested in connection with the Department of Justice proposed final judgement whereby we expect to sell certain of our theatres and certain Carmike theatres are reflected in the pro forma financial statements as those planned disposals are identifiable and factually supportable at this time. We believe that the reasonably possible effects on the financial statements for the divestitures are as follows ($ in thousands):
