AMC 娛樂控股股份有限公司
簡明綜合財務報表附註
二零二四年九月三十日
(未經審核)
註 1-演示基礎
AMC 娛樂控股有限公司(「控股」)通過其直接和間接子公司,包括美國多電影公司及其子公司(除非情況另有規定,除非情況另有規定,「公司」或「AMC」)主要參與戲劇展業務,並擁有、經營或在美國和歐洲的劇院擁有、經營或擁有權益。簡明綜合財務報表包括控股及所有附屬公司的帳目,應與截至二零二三年十二月三十一日止年度之公司表 10-k 年報一併閱讀。在合併中,所有重大的公司間餘額和交易都已被消除。本公司以下方式管理其業務
截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日的附帶簡明綜合資產負債表,取自經審核的財務報表,以及未經審核的簡明綜合財務報表均按照美國普遍接受的會計原則作為中期財務資料,並按照表 10-Q 的指示編製,因此,並不包括美國普遍接受的會計原則所需的所有資料和註腳。合併財務報表。管理層認為,這些中期財務報表反映了公司財務狀況和營運業績所需的所有調整(包括正常定期性調整)。由於本公司業務的季節性質,截至 2024 年 9 月 30 日止九個月的業績,並不一定表明截至 2024 年 12 月 31 日止年度的預期業績。
根據美國普遍接受的會計原則擬備財務報表,要求管理層作出預估和假設,這些估計和假設會影響報告資產和負債金額,以及在簡明合併財務報表日期內的可應資產和負債披露及報告期內的收入和支出金額。實際結果可能與這些估計不同。
流動性。 本公司相信其現有現金及現金等值,以及從營運所產生的現金,將足以為其業務提供資金,並滿足目前及未來十二個月的義務。本公司的現金燃燒率不是長期可持續的。為了實現經營活動提供的可持續淨正現金流和長期盈利能力,本公司認為收入將需要提高至至少與 COVID-19 前的收入相符的水平。北美票房收入大約下降
預測公司流動性需求和未來現金消耗率的收入、出席率和其他假設是否正確,而預測工作室電影發行日期、整體製作和劇院發行水平以及個別影片的成功能有限,因此預測能力不確定。此外,2023 年期間工作停工的影響,2024 年對展覽的電影板、公司的流動性和現金燃燒率產生負面影響。此外,本公司將在發布本財務報表起計十二個月以或根據本公司可接受的條款或根據本公司可接受的條款,以滿足本公司義務所需的額外流動性,並不能保證。
本公司預計不時透過現金購買及/或交換股票或債務、開放市場購買、私人談判交易或以其他方式,繼續尋求退休或購買未償還債務。該等回購或交易(如果有)將按其可能決定的條款和價格,並取決於當前的市場情況、其流動性要求、合約限制和其他因素。

涉及金額可能相當重要,若使用股權,可能會導致稀釋。詳情請參見附註6—企業借款和融資租賃負債,概括描述了截至2024年9月30日及2013年9月30日分別發生的債務交易。另請參見附註13—後續事項,以獲取有關在2024年9月30日後發生的各項債務交換的進一步資訊。此外,公司通過其A類普通股的市價發行來增強其流動性,更多的資訊請參閱附註7—股東資本不足。
截至2024年4月19日,並預期到期的償還擔保的循環信用設施,公司自願全額終止了償還擔保的循環信用設施的承諾,並支付關於償還擔保的循環信用設施的任何未清償負債。財務條款及相關豁免條件不再根據係2013年4月30日簽訂的信貸協議(經修改、重簽、經修改並重簽、補充或以其他方式修改)的條款生效。公司目前不預計取代該償還擔保的循環信用設施。公司已簽訂一份新的信用證設施,以繼續在終止償還擔保的循環信用設施後維持正常業務提供信用證。
現金及現金等價物。 截至2024年9月30日,美國市場和國際市場的現金及現金等價物分別為$
限制性現金。 受限現金包括公司在銀行帳戶中作為部分房東的擔保以及與公司的保險和公用事業計畫相關的現金擔保信用證。以下表格提供了現金及現金等價物和受限現金在簡明合併資產負債表中報告的調節,以使之與簡明合併現金流量表中金額總和相符。

註2-租賃
公司按照經營和融通租賃方式租用戲院和設備。公司通常不認為在租賃開始時行使續約選擇是合理確定的,因此將初始基期視為租賃期。租賃期限不等,但通常租賃協議提供固定和逐漸增加的租金、基於消費者價格指數或其他指數的有條件增加租金,不得超過特定金額以及基於收入百分比的變動租金。公司通常會從房東處獲得用於現有地點裝修的貢獻。公司將從房東處收到的金額記錄為對使用權資產的調整,並在租賃協議的基期內將餘額按比例分攤為租金費用的減少。設備租約主要包括觀覽和聲音設備以及食品和飲料設備。

再融資交易
2024年7月22日(「截止日期」),公司完成了一系列再融資交易(「再融資交易」)
關於截止日期的再融資:
● | 公司與公司新成立的間接全資子公司Muvico, LLC簽訂了該特定信貸協議(「新定期貸款信貸協議」),由公司和作爲借款人(統稱爲 「新定期貸款借款人」)、其貸款方以及作爲行政代理人和抵押代理人的威爾明頓儲蓄基金協會(FsB)(FsB)(以此類身份是 「新定期貸款代理人」),公司和Muvico據此共同和分別借款 $ |
● | 新定期貸款被(i)用作公開市場購買的對價 $ |
● | Muvico還完成了以現金進行的私募發行 $ |
● | Muvico使用發行可交換票據的收益進行回購 $ |
除其他外,與Muvico的組建有關;
● | 公司及其某些子公司(統稱爲 「AMC」)轉讓了以下方面的某些租約、自有不動產和相關資產及權利 |
● | Muvico和AMC簽訂了管理服務協議(「管理服務協議」),根據該協議,Muvico聘請AMC管理和運營移交的劇院,並向Muvico提供某些其他管理服務。 |
● | Muvico和AMC簽訂了知識產權許可協議(「公司間許可協議」),根據該協議,Muvico向AMC授予了使用轉讓知識產權的許可。 |
Muvico是Centertainment Development, LLC(「Centertainment」)的直接子公司。Muvico和Centertainment都是現有定期貸款和現有第一留置權票據下的 「無限制子公司」,因此不受管理此類債務的契約下的各種限制性契約的約束。
2024年8月1日,公司完成了對公司現有定期貸款(定義見下文)的後續公開市場回購,並作爲交換,根據新定期貸款信貸協議(定義見下文)向此類銷售持有人發放了公司的新定期貸款(定義見下文),金額約爲 $

2024年8月14日,該公司完成了額外的跟進公開市場回購已有貸款,並以該公司的新貸款作爲交換,根據新貸款信貸協議發行了大約 $

票據有權選擇按普通股的匯率(定義見可交換票據契約)將其全部或部分可交換票據交換。匯率最初設置爲
在可交換票據最終到期日之前的第二個交易日營業結束之前的任何時候,Muvico也有權選擇以等於可交換票據本金總額的價格贖回所有(但不少於全部)未償還的可交換票據,加上截至但不包括此類贖回之日的應計利息和未付利息(如每日VWAP)(定義)在可交換票據(契約)中,每股普通股超過
如果可交換票據的持有人自願選擇交換其可交換票據,則此類持有人還有權在發行日三週年之前獲得等於 (i) 的整數溢價(「匯率調整對價」),
如果發生某些構成基本變革(定義見可交換票據契約)的公司事件,則持有人將有權要求Muvico以等於的現金回購價格回購其可交換票據
Muvico還必須強制贖回所有已發行和未償還的可交換票據,購買價格等於
可交換票據契約包含契約,這些契約限制了Centertainment集團各方(定義見下文)的能力,除其他外:(i)承擔額外債務或擔保債務;(ii)設立留置權;(iii)申報或支付股息、贖回股票或向股東進行其他分配;(iv)進行投資;(v)與其關聯公司進行交易;(vi)合併、出售,或以其他方式處置其各自的全部或幾乎全部資產;以及 (vii) 損害抵押品的擔保權益。這些契約受到許多限制和例外情況的約束。可交換票據契約還納入了新定期貸款信貸協議中包含的其他限制性條款。可交換票據契約還規定了違約事件,如果發生任何違約事件,將允許或要求所有當時未償還的可交換票據的本金、溢價(如果有)、利息和任何其他貨幣債務立即到期並支付。
該公司將轉換選項和交易所調整對價分析爲一個單一的轉換選項(「轉換期權」)。該公司將轉換期權與可交換票據的本金餘額分爲衍生負債。該公司將轉換期權分爲以下幾點:(i)債務工具中嵌入的轉換期權的經濟特徵與經濟沒有明確和密切的關係
20
如ASC 815-15-25-51所述,債務託管合約的特徵和風險;(ii)主體債務工具不是按公允價值重新計量的,而是按攤銷成本計量的;(iii)轉換期權不符合ASC 815-10-15-74(a)規定的衍生品範圍例外情況。轉換選項還包括整體調整,即匯率調整對價。匯率調整對價(即整體付款)不符合ASC 815-40-15-7C規定的指數化標準,因爲該功能的設計不符合時間價值範圍的例外情況,因此被視爲衍生品。可交換票據的初始估計公允價值爲美元
2029 年到期的新定期貸款
新定期貸款信貸協議規定(i)新定期貸款,初始本金總額爲美元
新定期貸款將於2029年1月4日到期(或者,如果至少爲美元)
新定期貸款的利息由新定期貸款借款人選擇,利率等於(i)基準利率加上兩者之間的差額
新定期貸款由Centertainment和Muvico及其未來各自的子公司(統稱爲 「Centertainment集團各方」)和現有擔保人提供擔保,並以公司及其擔保人擁有的幾乎所有有形和無形資產的留置權作爲擔保,在每種情況下,都受新定期貸款信貸協議中規定的有限例外情況的限制。
新定期貸款信貸協議包含的契約限制了公司及其子公司的以下能力:(i)承擔額外債務或擔保債務;(ii)設立留置權;(iii)申報或支付股息、贖回股票或向股東進行其他分配;(iv)進行投資;(v)與其關聯公司進行交易;(vi)合併、合併、出售或以其他方式處置全部或幾乎所有各自的資產;以及 (vii) 在公司及其子公司的賬目中保留現金(不包括Centertainment 集團各方)。這些契約受到許多限制和例外情況的約束。新定期貸款信貸協議還規定了違約事件,如果發生任何違約事件,將允許或要求所有當時未償還的新定期貸款的本金、溢價(如果有)、利息和任何其他金錢債務立即到期並支付。

注意事項 7—股東' 赤字
股票拆細
於2023年8月24日,公司以比例進行了股票合併
share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to -tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding.Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures for periods prior to August 24, 2023, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have also been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. On August 25, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units converted into shares of Common Stock.

特別獎勵
2024年2月22日,AMC董事會的薪酬委員會(「薪酬委員會」)批准修改了適用於所有2023年可分配年度PSU獎勵的績效目標。這被視爲對2023年可分配年度PSU獎勵的修改,降低了調整後的EBITDA和自由現金流績效目標,以便對兩項目標均實現
On February 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as modification to the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that
2024年授予的獎項
2024年6月5日,公司股東批准了一項新的股權激勵計劃(「2024 EIP」)。2024 EIP擁有百萬股普通股可用於計劃下的獎勵。
2024年6月5日,公司董事會根據2024 EIP向公司的某些僱員和董事授予了股票、受限股票單位(「RSUs」)和績效股份單位(「PSUs」)獎勵。每個RSU或PSU在歸屬後可轉換爲1股普通股。
23
該單位的標的股票。任何此類應計股息等價物僅在單位歸屬時支付給持有人。每個單位代表領取權
這些獎項通常具有以下特點:
● | 董事會股票獎勵: 公司授予了 |
● | 限制性股票單位獎勵: 公司授予了 |
● | 績效股票單位獎勵: 總共有 |
薪酬委員會在每年年初制定年度績效目標。因此,每個批次年度的授予日期(和公允價值計量日期)是每年年初根據ASC 718 「薪酬—股票補償」 對關鍵條款和條件達成共同理解的日期。
該股權歸類爲2024年PSU獎勵授予日期的公允價值
責任分類獎勵
某些PSU預計將以現金結算,因此在簡明合併資產負債表中被歸類爲應計費用中的負債和其他負債。2024年度歸類爲2023年PSU獎勵的負債是在設定年度績效目標時授予的。歸屬要求和歸屬期限與上述股票分類獎勵相同。公司根據普通股的公允價值確認與這些獎勵相關的費用,從而使在必要服務期內提供的服務部分生效。

附註8—所得稅
公司的全球有效所得稅率基於實際收入(虧損),法定稅率,對遞延稅款資產的減值準備,以及其所經營的各個司法管轄區中可獲得的稅收規劃機會。由於COVID-19大流行和行業近期停工對公司的持續影響,公司在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內採用離散所得稅計算。在過去的中期財務報告中,公司基於預計全年的應納稅收入(虧損)估算全球年度所得稅率,並根據預期的年度率調整季度所得稅費用或收益,如有任何離散項目。未來中期業績期間,當更可靠的全年收入估算可用時,公司將回到根據年度有效率計算季度稅費用的歷史方法。公司視所得稅相關利息費用和罰款爲所得稅費用和一般和行政費用,分別進行確認。
經濟合作與發展組織(「OECD」)發佈了一套模型規則,一般規定了司法管轄區的最低有效稅率爲
公司每個期間評估其遞延所得稅資產,以判斷是否需要根據遞延所得稅資產的某些部分可能無法實現的「更有可能的」概念而設定減值準備。這些遞延所得稅資產的最終實現取決於在未來期間(以聯邦、州和外國的司法管轄區爲基礎)生成足夠的應稅收入。公司通過考慮所有可用的積極和消極證據進行評估,其中包括歷史營運結果、未來盈利預測、法定結轉期間的持續時間,以及對美國電影產業和更廣泛經濟的展望等。
對公司的美國遞延稅資產和大多數國際遞延稅資產進行了減值準備,因爲公司已經確定這些資產的實現不符合最可能發生的標準。
截至2024年9月30日九個月的有效稅率反映了在該期間產生的對美國和國際遞延稅資產進行的這些減值準備的影響。截至2024年9月30日九個月的實際有效稅率爲(

Valuation Technique. The bond component of the Exchangeable Notes issued on July 22, 2024 was recorded at fair value. The Company estimated the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing a discount yield based on the risk-free rate plus an assumed credit spread built using observable recovery rates of similarly secured debt. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information.
Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market-based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Company valued these notes at principal value less an estimated discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. The Level 3 fair value measurement represents the transaction price of the corporate borrowings under market conditions. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

(1) | The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines 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 the Company does not consider indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in International markets. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, which is broadly consistent with how Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Company’s debt indentures. |

NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. An unfavorable outcome could also have a material adverse effect on our financial position or the market prices of our securities, including our Common Stock.
On April 22, 2019, a putative stockholder class and derivative complaint, captioned Lao v. Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd., et al., C.A. No. 2019-0303-JRS (the “Lao Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s directors, Wanda, two of Wanda’s affiliates, Silver Lake, and one of Silver Lake’s affiliates in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Lao Action asserted claims directly, on behalf of a putative class of Company stockholders, and derivatively, on behalf of the Company, for breaches of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty with respect to transactions that the Company entered into with affiliates of Wanda and Silver Lake on September 14, 2018, and the special cash dividend of $

separate vote from the holders of the AMC Preferred Equity Units on the Charter Amendments or that the AMC Preferred Equity Units be enjoined from voting on the Charter Amendments, and an award of money damages. The Munoz Action sought to enjoin the AMC Preferred Equity Units from voting on the Charter Amendments.
On February 27, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered a status quo order that allowed the March 14, 2023 vote on the Charter Amendments to proceed, but precluded the Company from implementing the Charter Amendments pending a ruling by the court on the plaintiffs’ then-anticipated preliminary injunction motion (the “Status Quo Order”).
On April 2, 2023, the parties entered into a binding settlement term sheet to settle the Shareholder Litigation, which among other things, provided that the parties would jointly request that the Status Quo Order be lifted. Pursuant to the term sheet, the Company agreed, following and subject to AMC’s completion of the Conversion and Reverse Stock Split, to make a non-cash settlement payment to record holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Conversion (and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) of
share of Common Stock for every 7.5 shares of Common Stock owned by such record holders (the “Settlement Payment”). The Company’s obligation to make the Settlement Payment was contingent on the Status Quo Order being lifted and the Company effecting the Charter Amendments. The defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Payment solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, and continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Shareholder Litigation. On April 3, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion to lift the Status Quo Order. On April 5, 2023, the court denied the motion to lift the Status Quo Order.On April 27, 2023, the parties jointly filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release (the “Settlement Stipulation”) with the court, which fully memorialized the settlement that the parties agreed to in the term sheet. On June 29–30, 2023, the court held a settlement hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement as outlined in the Settlement Stipulation.
On July 21, 2023, the court issued an opinion which, citing issues with the scope of the release sought under the proposed settlement, declined to approve the settlement as presented. On July 22, 2023, the parties filed an addendum to the Settlement Stipulation in an effort to address the issues with the scope of the release raised by the court and requested that the court approve the settlement with the revised release set forth in the addendum.
On August 11, 2023, the court approved the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation and lifted the Status Quo Order. On August 14, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of August 24, 2023, which was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on March 14, 2023 to implement the Charter Amendments. The Reverse Stock Split occurred on August 24, 2023, the conversion of AMC Preferred Equity Units into Common Stock occurred on August 25, 2023, and the Settlement Payment was made on August 28, 2023. On September 15, 2023, the Court entered an order dismissing the Shareholder Litigation in its entirety and with prejudice. On October 13, 2023, a purported Company stockholder who objected to the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s decision approving the settlement. On May 22, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court’s decision approving the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation. On August 20, 2024, the appellant stockholder filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on October 7, 2024.

On August 14, 2023, a putative class action on behalf of APE holders, captioned Simons v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2023-0835-MTZ (the “Simons Action”), was filed against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Simons Action asserted claims for a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and breach of contract, and alleged that the Settlement Payment in the Shareholder Litigation violates the Certificate of Designations that governed the AMC Preferred Equity Units prior to the conversion of the AMC Preferred Equity Units into Common Stock. On September 12, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On December 26, 2023, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which added a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On February 16, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 2, 2024, the court granted the Company’s motion, dismissing the amended complaint with prejudice. On October 30, 2024, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court.

The remainder of the insurers contest whether they owe coverage for the Settlement Payment, claiming it does not constitute a “Loss” under their insurance policies. AMC may have claims for coverage from additional insurers as well, however, those insurers’ policies contain mandatory arbitration provisions, so they have not been included in the Coverage Action.
On October 6, 2023, an action captioned Mathew, et al. v. Citigroup Global Markets, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-12302-FDS (the “Mathew Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The Mathew Action named the Company as a nominal defendant. On November 16, 2023, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On January 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 11, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On January 24, 2024, the Company filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On June 17, 2024, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss and denied plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint.
On December 18, 2023, an action captioned Miller, et al. v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 2023-1259-LM (Del. Ch.) (the “Miller Action”), was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Plaintiffs in the Miller Action sought to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations concerning alleged manipulation of the Company’s Common Stock. On February 7, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing the Company’s two officers from the action. On April 17, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing the Miller Action with prejudice.
On May 2, 2024, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an order granting final approval of a proposed settlement reached by all parties to an action brought by plaintiffs Dennis J. Donoghue and Mark Rubenstein, each of whom are shareholders of the Company, for the Company to recover “short-swing” profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) alleged to have been realized by defendants Antara Capital Master Fund LP, Antara Capital Fund GP LLC, Antara Capital LP, Antara Capital GP LLC, and Himanshu Gulati (collectively, the “Antara Defendants”) in connection with their purchases and sales of the Company’s securities.

On September 17, 2024, an action captioned A Holdings – B LLC, et al. v. GLAS Trust Company LLC, Index No. 654878/2024 (the “Noteholder Action”), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The Noteholder Action was filed by an ad hoc group of holders of the Company’s Existing First Lien Notes asserting claims for breach of contract and seeking a declaratory judgment against the Company and GLAS Trust Company LLC (“GLAS”), the trustee under the indenture for the Company’s Second Lien Notes, in connection with the Refinancing Transactions announced by AMC on July 22, 2024. Plaintiffs allege that GLAS and the Company breached the first lien/second lien intercreditor agreement dated July 31, 2020 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by improperly transferring collateral that secured the Existing First Lien Notes free of such liens and eliminating the Existing First Lien Notes’ priority in certain other collateral in connection with the Refinancing Transactions. An unfavorable outcome, in which it is determined that the Company breached, as claimed, the Intercreditor Agreement, would permit note holders to claim an event of default occurred under the indenture governing the Existing First Lien Notes and, subject to any conditions in the indenture, permit note holders to accelerate the Existing First Lien Notes, which could in turn result in the acceleration of the Company’s other outstanding debt. Such an event would thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and on the market prices of our securities, including our Common Stock. We intend to vigorously defend against any claims made in the Noteholder Action.

NOTE 12—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effects of unvested RSUs with a service condition only, unvested contingently issuable PSUs that have service and performance conditions, and shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchangeable Notes, if dilutive. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method for the RSUs and PSUs and the if-converted method for the Exchangeable Notes.

Examples of forward-looking statements include statements we make regarding future attendance levels, revenues and our liquidity. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
● | the risks and uncertainties relating to the sufficiency of our existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity, including following the termination of our senior secured revolving credit facility (“Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility”), to fund operations, and satisfy obligations including cash outflows for deferred rent and planned capital expenditures currently and through the next twelve months. In order to achieve net positive cash flows provided by operating activities and long-term profitability, revenues will need to increase from current levels to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. However, there remain significant risks that may negatively impact revenues and attendance levels, including changes to movie studios release schedules (including as a result of production delays and delays to the release of movies caused by labor stoppages) and direct to streaming or other changing movie studio practices. If we are unable to achieve increased levels of attendance and revenues, we will be required to obtain additional liquidity. If such additional liquidity is not obtained or insufficient, we likely would seek an in-court or out-of-court restructuring of our liabilities, and in the event of such future liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, holders of our Common Stock and other securities would likely suffer a total loss of their investment; |
● | the risks and uncertainties relating to the Refinancing Transactions, including, but not limited to, (i) the potential for additional future dilution of our Common Stock as a result of issuance of shares underlying our Exchangeable Notes, (ii) the possibility that the extension of certain debt maturities will not provide enough time for attendance and revenues to increase to sufficient levels and generate net positive cash flows from operating activities and long-term profitability to overcome liquidity concerns or may be |
37
insufficient if the Company does not achieve revenue levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues and (iii) the impact on the market price of our Common Stock and our capital structure of litigation resulting from the Refinancing Transactions or any additional litigation that may arise in connection with the Refinancing Transactions. See Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies for a description of the litigation; |
● | changing practices of distributors, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased use of alternative film delivery methods including premium video on demand, streaming platforms, shrinking exclusive theatrical release windows or release of movies to theatrical exhibition and streaming platforms on the same date, the theatrical release of fewer movies, or transitioning to other forms of entertainment; |
● | the impact of changing movie-going behavior of consumers; |
● | the risk that the North American and international box office in the near term will not recover sufficiently, resulting in higher cash burn and the need to seek additional financing; |
● | risks and uncertainties relating to our significant indebtedness, including our borrowings and our ability to meet our financial maintenance and other covenants; |
● | the dilution caused by recent and potential future sales of our Common Stock and future potential share issuances to repay, refinance, redeem or repurchase indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any); |
● | risks relating to motion picture production, promotion, marketing, and performance, including labor stoppages affecting the production, supply and release schedule of theatrical motion picture content; |
● | the seasonality of our revenue and working capital, which are dependent upon the timing of motion picture releases by distributors, such releases being seasonal and resulting in higher attendance and revenues generally during the summer months and holiday seasons, and higher working capital requirements during the other periods such as the first quarter; |
● | intense competition in the geographic areas in which we operate among exhibitors, streaming platforms, or from other forms of entertainment; |
● | certain covenants in the agreements that govern our indebtedness may limit our ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities and limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt, pre-pay debt, and also to refinance debt and to do so at favorable terms, and such covenants impose additional administrative and operational burdens on our business; |
● | risks relating to impairment losses, including with respect to goodwill and other intangibles, and theatre and other closure charges; |
● | general and international economic, political, regulatory, social and financial market conditions, including potential economic recession, inflation, rising interest rates, the financial stability of the banking industry, and other risks that may negatively impact discretionary income and our revenues and attendance levels; |
● | our lack of control over distributors of films; |
● | limitations on the availability of capital or poor financial results may prevent us from deploying strategic initiatives; |
● | an issuance of preferred stock could dilute the voting power of the common stockholders and adversely affect the market value of our outstanding Common Stock; |
● | limitations on the authorized number of Common Stock shares could in the future prevent us from raising additional capital through Common Stock; |
● | our ability to achieve expected synergies, benefits and performance from our strategic initiatives; |
38
● | our ability to refinance our indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all; |
● | our ability to optimize our theatre circuit through new construction, the transformation of our existing theatres, and strategically closing underperforming theatres may be subject to delay and unanticipated costs; |
● | failures, unavailability or security breaches of our information systems, including due to cybersecurity incidents; |
● | our ability to utilize interest expense deductions will be limited annually due to Section 163(j) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; |
● | our ability to recognize interest deduction carryforwards, net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to reduce our future tax liability; |
● | our ability to recognize certain international deferred tax assets which currently do not have a valuation allowance recorded; |
● | review by antitrust authorities in connection with acquisition opportunities; |
● | risks relating to the incurrence of legal liability, including costs associated with the ongoing securities class action lawsuits; |
● | dependence on key personnel for current and future performance and our ability to attract and retain senior executives and other key personnel, including in connection with any future acquisitions; |
● | increased costs in order to comply or resulting from a failure to comply with governmental regulation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and all other current and pending privacy and data regulations in the jurisdictions where we have operations; |
● | supply chain disruptions may negatively impact our operating results; |
● | the availability and/or cost of energy, particularly in Europe; |
● | the market price and trading volume of our shares of Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile, and purchasers of our securities could incur substantial losses; |
● | future offerings of debt, which would be senior to our Common Stock for purposes of distributions or upon liquidation, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock; |
● | the potential for political, social, or economic unrest, terrorism, hostilities, cyber-attacks or war, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other international conflicts; |
● | the potential impact of financial and economic sanctions on the regional and global economy, or widespread health emergencies, such as pandemics or epidemics, causing people to avoid our theatres or other public places where large crowds are in attendance; |
● | anti-takeover protections in our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our amended and restated bylaws may discourage or prevent a takeover of our Company, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders; and |
● | other risks and uncertainties referenced from time to time in filings with the SEC. |
This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative but not exhaustive. In addition, new risks and uncertainties may arise from time to time. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with an understanding of their inherent uncertainty and we caution accordingly against relying on forward-looking statements.

Overview
AMC is the world’s largest theatrical exhibition company and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence. As of September 30, 2024, we operated theatres in 11 countries throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Our theatrical exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and food and beverage sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our customer loyalty programs, rental of theatre auditoriums, income from gift card and exchange ticket sales, theatrical distribution, retail popcorn sales, and online ticketing fees. As of September 30, 2024, we owned, operated or had interests in 874 theatres and 9,800 screens.
Box Office Admissions and Film Content
Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license theatrical films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are based on a share of admissions revenues and are accrued based on estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. These licenses typically state that rental fees are based on the box office performance of each film, though in certain circumstances and less frequently, our rental fees are based on a mutually agreed settlement rate that is fixed. In some European territories, film rental fees are established on a weekly basis and some licenses use a per capita agreement instead of a revenue share, paying a flat amount per ticket.
Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor’s films in any given year. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year based on the timing and popularity of film releases.

Loyalty Programs and Other Marketing
As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately 34 million member households enrolled in AMC Stubs® A-List (“A-List”), AMC Stubs Premiere™ (“Premiere”) and AMC Stubs Insider™ (“Insider”) programs, combined. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our AMC Stubs® members represented approximately 49.0% of AMC U.S. markets attendance.
We currently have approximately 18 million members in our various International loyalty programs.
See “Item 1. Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional discussion and information of our screens, seating concepts, amenities, loyalty programs and other marketing initiatives.
Holders of Shares
As of September 30, 2024, approximately 1.7 million shares of our Common Stock were directly registered with our transfer agent by 14,934 stockholders. The balance of our outstanding Common Stock was held in “street name” through bank or brokerage accounts.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates therefore, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Material changes to our critical accounting estimates from what is described in our Form 10-K are described below:
Derivative Liability. We remeasure the derivative liability related to the conversion features in our Exchangeable Notes at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. We have obtained independent third-party valuation studies to assist us in determining fair value. Our valuation studies use the Binomial Lattice approach and are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Binomial Lattice approach consists of simulated Common Stock prices from the valuation date to the maturity of the Exchangeable
41
Notes. The significant inputs used to value the derivative include the initial share price of our Common Stock, the volatility of the share price, time to maturity, risk-free interest rate, credit spread, and the discount yield. The volatility of our Common Stock, the Common Stock price at the end of each reporting period, and the remaining amount of time until maturity of the Exchangeable Notes are key inputs for the estimation of fair value that are expected to change each reporting period.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded other income related to a decline in our derivative liability fair value of $(73.5) million. We expect there will be future changes in fair value for our derivative liability and that the related amounts recorded as income or expense may be material. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and Note 9—Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Significant Events—For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Debt Repurchases and Exchanges. The below table summarizes the various cash debt repurchase transactions, debt for equity exchange transactions and cash and debt for equity exchange transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The debt for equity transactions were treated as early extinguishments of debt. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-3, the reacquisition price of the extinguished debt was determined to be the fair value of the Common Stock exchanged.

Vendor Dispute. On January 26, 2024, we executed an agreement to collect $37.5 million as resolution of a dispute with a vendor. The proceeds, net of legal costs, were recorded to other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The relationship with the vendor has been restored and remains in good standing.
Share Issuance. During the nine months ending September 30, 2024, we raised gross proceeds of $250.0 million and paid fees to sales agents and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $6.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, through our at-the-market offering of approximately 72.5 million shares of Common Stock. We paid $0.7 million of other third-party issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Debt Refinancing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed a series of refinancing transactions with two creditor groups. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for further information on these transactions.
Significant Events—For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Saudi Cinema Company. On December 30, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our 10.0% investment in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC for SAR 112.5 million ($30.0 million), subject to certain closing conditions. On January 24, 2023, the Saudi Ministry of Commerce recorded a sale of equity and we received the proceeds on January 25, 2023. We recorded a gain on the sale of $15.5 million in investment income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Additional Share Issuances Antara. On December 22, 2022, we entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Antara pursuant to which we agreed to (i) sell to Antara 10,659,511 AMC Preferred Equity Units for an aggregate purchase price of $75.1 million and (ii) simultaneously purchase from Antara $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes in exchange for 9,102,619 AMC Preferred Equity Units. On February 7, 2023, the Company issued 19,762,130 AMC Preferred Equity Units to Antara in exchange for $75.1 million in cash and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes. The Company recorded $193.7 million to stockholders’ deficit as a result of the transaction. We paid $1.4 million of accrued interest in cash upon exchange of the notes.
Share Issuances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into various equity distribution agreements with sales agents to sell shares of our Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units, from time to time, through “at-the-market” offering programs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $440.0 million and paid fees to sales agents and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $11.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, through our at-the-market offering of approximately 7.1 million shares of AMC Preferred Equity Units and 40.0 million shares of our Common Stock. We paid $11.6 million of other third-party issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Special Awards. On February 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as a modification to the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200% vesting was achieved for both tranches. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 238,959 Common Stock PSUs and 238,959 AMC Preferred Equity Unit PSUs. This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which required the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the Common Stock PSUs and AMC Preferred Equity Units PSUs of $14.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $20.2 million of additional stock compensation expense.
Lease Termination. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received a $13.0 million buyout incentive from a landlord which provided the landlord the right to terminate the lease of one theatre. The incentive and termination gain resulted in a $16.7 million reduction to rent expense.
NCM Bankruptcy. On April 11, 2023, National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas. NCM is the in-theatre advertising provider for the majority of the Company’s theatres in the United States. Under the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on August 7, 2023 (the “Plan”), NCM has assumed its agreements with the Company. As part of the Plan, on August 7, 2023, NCM issued 16,581,829 common units (“NCM Common Units”) that were owed to the Company as part of the annual common unit adjustment. However, under the terms of the Plan and the restructuring of the equity of NCM thereunder, the NCM Common Units were immediately cancelled upon the effective date of the Plan. On August 13, 2023, in response to an appeal by the Company regarding certain terms of the Plan, including modification of the terms of the Exhibitor Services Agreement with other parties that were not similarly granted to the Company and appeal of the court’s order to approve cancellation of the NCM Common Unit issuance, the United States District Court for the
43
Southern District of Texas affirmed the rulings of the bankruptcy court, including confirmation of the Plan. The Company filed an appeal to these rulings with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and such appeal remains pending. The Company does not expect NCM’s bankruptcy or the appeal to have a material impact on the Company.
Shareholder Litigation. Two putative stockholder class actions were filed in the Delaware Chancery Court, and subsequently consolidated, which asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duty against certain of our directors and a claim for breach of 8 Del. C. § 242 against those directors and the Company, arising out of the creation of AMC Preferred Equity Units, the Antara Transactions and the Charter Amendments.
This litigation prevented us from immediately implementing the Charter Amendments. On August 11, 2023, the court approved a settlement of the Shareholder Litigation, which, among other things, permitted the implementation of the Charter Amendments. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, record holders of Common Stock at the close of business on August 24, 2023, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, but prior to the conversion of the AMC Preferred Equity Units into Common Stock, received a payment of one share of Common Stock for every 7.5 shares of Common Stock they owned. On August 28, 2023, the Company made the Settlement Payment and issued 6,897,018 shares of Common Stock. On October 13, 2023, a purported Company stockholder who objected to the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision approving the settlement. On May 22, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the court’s decision approving the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation.

Segment Information
Our historical results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, reflect the results of operations for our two theatrical exhibition reportable segments, U.S. markets and International markets.
Results of Operations—For the Three Months ended September 30, 2024, Compared to the Three Months ended September 30, 2023
Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations
Revenues. Total revenues decreased $57.1 million, or 4.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Admissions revenues decreased $53.5 million, or 6.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 11.5% from 73.6 million patrons to 65.1 million patrons, partially offset by a 5.4% increase in average ticket price. In our U.S. markets our market share of box office revenues declined for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven by the interplay between the film slate and our geographic mix. In our International markets attendance declined due to the popularity of film product compared to the prior year. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to increased ticket prices for all formats, increases in 3D, other PLF and IMAX screen volumes as a percentage of attendance and increases in attendance for alternative content.
Food and beverage revenues increased $7.7 million, or 1.6%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the increase in food and beverage per patron, partially offset by the decrease in attendance. Food and beverage per patron increased 14.8% from $6.56 to $7.53 due primarily to an increase in average prices and the percentage of guests making transactions, partially offset by lower units purchase per transaction and more frequent attendance from our AMC Stubs members.
Total other theatre revenues decreased $11.3 million, or 9.0%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the decline in attendance and a decline in the number of tickets purchased online subject to convenience fees, which resulted in lower ticket fee and advertising revenues.
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased $29.5 million, or 2.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Film exhibition costs decreased $17.1 million, or 4.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in admissions revenues, partially offset by higher film rental terms. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 51.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 50.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in film exhibition cost percentage is primarily due to higher film rental terms in U.S. markets on top grossing films and alternative content during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Food and beverage costs decreased $0.4 million, or 0.4%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in food and beverage costs was primarily due to lower costs, partially offset by the increase in food and beverage revenues. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 18.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 18.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Operating expense increased by $4.8 million, or 1.1%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to increases in equipment expense, premium format expense, and insurance, partially offset by decreases in utilities and advertising. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 33.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 32.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Rent expense decreased 3.5%, or $7.9 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Merger, acquisition, and other costs. Merger, acquisition, and other costs were $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
48
Other. Other general and administrative expense decreased $0.4 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, due primarily to declines in bonus expense as a result of lower-than-expected annual performance compared to annual targets in the current year compared to the prior year and lower stock-based compensation expense. See Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about stock-based compensation expense.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $7.9 million, or 8.9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to theatre closures and lower depreciation expense on theatres impaired during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Other income. Other income of $22.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to $73.5 million of income related to the decrease in fair value of the Conversion Option derivative liability, $21.5 million in foreign currency transaction gains, $14.9 million of recoveries related to the Shareholder Litigation, $5.2 million in equity in earnings related to non-consolidated entities, gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million related to the redemption of $9.57 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026, and gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million related to the redemption of $15.6 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $52.6 million related to the redemption of $613.65 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes and $41.0 million of third party costs related to the modification of the Existing Term Loans. Other income of $15.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to $15.3 million of income related to the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation comprised of $16.1 million of non-cash income for the decrease in estimated fair value as of the date of the final Delaware Supreme Court order of settlement shares issued to holders of Common Stock on August 28, 2023, partially offset by $0.8 million of contingent insurance recovery costs, gains on extinguishment of debt of $10.8 million related to the redemption of $24.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes, and equity earnings from non-consolidated entities of $3.1 million, partially offset by $12.8 million in foreign currency transaction losses. See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about the components of other expense (income).
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $15.9 million to $119.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $103.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increased interest expense of $18.0 million on the New Term Loans compared to the Existing Term Loans, and interest expense of $7.9 million on the Exchangeable Notes issued on July 22, 2024, partially offset by declines in interest expense of $9.0 million on the Second Lien Notes due to redemptions of principal balances and declines in interest expense related to the revolving credit facility of $1.0 million. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our indebtedness.
Investment income. Investment income was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to income of $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Investment income in the current year includes interest income of $4.6 million and $0.3 million of increase in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft, partially offset by $1.7 million of decrease in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft. Investment income in the prior year includes $3.7 million of interest income and $0.1 million of increase in our investment in common shares of Hycroft, partially offset by decline in estimated fair value of $0.8 million in our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft.
Income tax provision (benefit). The income tax benefit was $(1.1) million, compared to a provision of $2.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 8—Income Taxes in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Net earnings (loss). Net earnings (loss) was $(20.7) million and $12.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was negatively impacted by the decrease in attendance as a result of the decline in market share in U.S. markets and the popularity of new film releases in International markets compared to the prior year and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by decreases in rent expense, general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, increases in investment income, increases in other income and decreases in income tax provision.

Theatrical Exhibition—U.S. Markets
Revenues. Total revenues decreased $8.6 million, or 0.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Admissions revenues decreased $15.3 million, or 2.6%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 8.9% from 51.5 million patrons to 46.9 million patrons, partially offset by a 6.9% increase in average ticket price. Our market share of box office revenues declined for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 driven by the interplay between the film slate and our geographic mix. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to increased ticket prices for all formats, increases in 3D, other PLF and IMAX screen volumes as a percentage of attendance and increases in attendance for alternative content.
Food and beverage revenues increased $15.5 million, or 4.0%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the increase in food and beverage per patron, partially offset by the decrease in attendance. Food and beverage per patron increased 14.3% from $7.43 to $8.49 due primarily to an increase in average prices and the percentage of guests making transactions, partially offset by lower units purchase per transaction and more frequent attendance from our AMC Stubs members.
Total other theatre revenues decreased $8.8 million, or 9.4%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to decline in attendance and a decline in the number of tickets purchased online subject to convenience fees, which resulted in lower ticket fee and advertising revenues.

Investment income in the current year includes interest income of $(14.7) million and $(0.2) million of increase in the estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft, partially offset by $1.9 million of decrease in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft. Investment expense in the prior year includes $5.4 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft, $5.4 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft and $1.8 million of expense for NCM Common Units, partially offset by interest income of $7.9 million.
Income tax provision (benefit). The income tax benefit was $(0.7) million and provision $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 8—Income Taxes in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Net loss. Net loss was $166.4 million and $171.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were positively impacted by decreases in general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, increases in other income, decreases in investment expense and the decrease in income tax provision, partially offset by the decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year, increases in rent expense and increases in interest expense.

戲劇展示-國際市場
收入總收入在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了8190萬美元,或9.6%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比。門票收入在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了5840萬美元,或11.3%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比,主要是由於從5370萬觀衆減少到4780萬觀衆,出席率下降了10.9%,以及平均票價下降了0.5%。出席率的下降主要是由於相比前一年,電影產品的受歡迎程度降低。
食品和飲料收入在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了1730萬美元,或7.0%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比,主要是由於出席率下降,部分抵消了每位觀衆的食品和飲料消費的增加。每位觀衆的食品和飲料消費從4.61美元增加到4.81美元,主要是由於平均價格和交易嘉賓比例的增加。
其他戲劇收入在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了620萬美元,或6.9%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比,主要是由於出席率下降,導致門票費和廣告收入減少。
經營成本和費用。經營成本和費用在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了3790萬美元,或4.4%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比。電影展映成本在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了2990萬美元,或14.2%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比,主要是由於出席率下降和電影租賃條件降低。作爲門票收入的百分比,電影展映成本在2024年9月30日結束的九個月中爲39.4%,而在2023年9月30日結束的九個月中爲40.8%。電影展映成本百分比的下降主要是由於前一年票房收入集中在票房較高的電影中,這通常會導致較高的電影展映成本。
食品和飲料成本在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了520萬元,或8.4%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比。食品和飲料成本的減少主要是由於食品和飲料收入的減少。作爲食品和飲料收入的比例,2024年9月30日結束的九個月的食品和飲料成本爲24.7%,而2023年9月30日結束的九個月爲25.1%。
操作費用在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了270萬元,或0.9%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比。操作費用的減少主要是由於公用事業費用的降低和出席人數的減少。作爲營收的比例,2024年9月30日結束的九個月的操作費用爲40.5%,而2023年9月30日結束的九個月爲36.9%。租金支出在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內增加了2.7%,或450萬元,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比。
其他。其他一般和行政費用在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內增加了170萬元,或3.2%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比。
折舊和攤銷。折舊與攤銷在2024年9月30日結束的九個月內減少了620萬元,或10.3%,與2023年9月30日結束的九個月相比,主要是由於戲院關閉以及在2023年12月31日結束的年度對受損戲院的折舊費用減少。
其他收入。2024年9月30日結束的九個月內的其他收入主要是由於對3620萬元的有利供應商糾紛解決以及1900萬元的外幣交易收益。2023年9月30日結束的九個月的其他收入主要是由320萬元的外幣交易收益。有關其他費用(收入)組成的更多信息,請參閱本表格10-Q第I部分項目1下的各項財務報表附註中關於百分之一的基礎的說明。
利息支出。截至2024年9月30日的九個月,利息支出增加了70萬美元,相比於2023年9月30日結束的九個月。有關我們負債的更多信息,請參閱基本報表附註中的第6號附註—公司借款和融資租賃負債,該附註列於本表格10-Q第I部分的第1項。
57
投資收益。截至2024年9月30日前九個月,投資收益爲140萬美元,截至2023年9月30日前九個月爲1610萬美元。當年的投資收益包括140萬美元的利息收入。往年的投資收益包括我們出售沙特影城有限公司10%股權獲得的(15.5)百萬美元收益和(0.6)百萬美元的利息收入。
所得稅費用。所得稅費用分別爲2024年9月30日前九個月的210萬美元和2023年9月30日前九個月的300萬美元。有關詳細信息,請參閱本10-Q表格第I部分中第8條——所得稅的附註中對壓縮合並財務報表的附註。
淨損失。截至2024年9月30日前九個月,淨損失爲5060萬美元,截至2023年9月30日前九個月爲4360萬美元。2024年9月30日前九個月的淨損失與2013年9月30日前九個月的淨損失相比,受到觀影率下降的負面影響,原因是新電影發佈的受歡迎程度較上一年降低,租金支出增加,一般和管理支出增加,利息支出增加以及投資收入減少,部分抵消了折舊及攤銷支出的減少,其他收入的增加以及所得稅費用的減少。
調整後的EBITDA
我們將調整後的EBITDA作爲我們績效的補充指標。我們將調整後的EBITDA定義爲淨利潤(損失)加上 (i) 所得稅貸項(收益)、(ii) 利息費用和 (iii) 折舊和攤銷費用,進一步調整以消除我們不認爲代表我們持續營運表現的某些項目的影響,幷包括國際市場劇院運營中股權投資所產生的EBITDA。這些進一步調整如下列明。我們鼓勵您評估這些調整以及我們認爲它們適用於補充分析的原因。在評估調整後的EBITDA時,您應該意識到,未來我們可能會發生與本報告中某些調整相同或類似的費用。我們對調整後的EBITDA的展示不應被理解爲我們未來的結果不會受到不尋常或非經常性項目的影響的推斷。爲確定調整後的EBITDA而進行的對GAAP指標的前述定義和調整基本與公司債券的定義一致。在截至2024年9月30日的三個月內,公司更改了調整後的EBITDA的定義,不再進一步調整「非合併實體的現金分配」和「其他非現金租賃收益」。 調整後的EBITDA的所有比較期信息已被重新整理以符合當前定義。

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; and |
● | does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future. |
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets was $143.3 million compared to $155.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance partially due to a decline in market share of box office revenues compared to the prior year driven by the interplay between the film slate and our geographic mix, increases in film exhibition cost as a percentage of admissions revenue, and increases in operating expenses. These declines were partially offset by increases in average ticket price, increases in food and beverage sales per patron, decreases in rent expense and decreases in general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the International markets was $18.5 million compared to $44.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year and declines in average ticket price. These declines were partially offset by increases in food and beverage sales per patron and decreases in rent expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets and International markets was $161.8 million compared to $199.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by the aforementioned factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets was $178.5 million compared to $353.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the availability and popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year and increases in rent expense due to a prior year rent credit for a theatre termination. These declines were partially offset by increases in average ticket price, increases in food and beverage sales per patron and decreases in general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the International markets was $0.6 million compared to $53.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year, declines in average ticket price and increases in rent expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets and International markets was $179.1 million compared to $406.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by the aforementioned factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through admissions and food and beverage sales. We have an operating “float” which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors 20 to 45 days following receipt of admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and year-end holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods and experience higher working capital requirements following such periods.
We had working capital deficit (excluding restricted cash) as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 of ($839.5) million and $(456.4) million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, working capital included operating lease liabilities of $527.6 million and $508.8 million, respectively, and deferred revenues of $385.1 million and $421.8 million, respectively.
See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our Financial Covenants.
61
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $527.4 million.
We have continued to lower the future interest expense of our fixed-rate debt through debt buybacks and exchanges for equity and enhanced liquidity through equity issuances. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities, Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit, and Note 13—Subsequent Events in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
We expect, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and, to the extent equity is used, dilutive.
Refinancing Transactions
On July 22, 2024, we completed a series of refinancing transactions (the “Refinancing Transactions”) with two creditor groups to refinance and extend to 2029 and 2030 the maturities of approximately $1.6 billion of our debt previously maturing in 2026.
On August 1, 2024, we completed follow-on open market repurchases of our Existing Term Loans, and in exchange, issued to such selling holders our New Term Loans pursuant to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement of approximately $762.0 million.
On August 14, 2024, we completed an additional follow-on open market repurchase of our Existing Term Loans, and in exchange, issued to such selling holders our New Term Loans pursuant to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement of approximately $4.0 million.
On September 17, 2024, we issued $27.0 million of New Term Loans at par for cash and used the proceeds to redeem the remaining Existing Term Loans. As of September 30, 2024, the Company completed open market purchases of $1,895.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans and issued $2,024.3 million aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans. Accordingly, as of such date, the Company had no remaining aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans outstanding.
See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Liquidity Requirements
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and satisfy our obligations currently and through the next twelve months. Our current cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows provided by operating activities and long-term profitability, we believe that revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Until such time as we are able to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows provided by operating activities, it is difficult to estimate our future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on our assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve levels of revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.
There can be no assurance that the revenues, attendance levels and other assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and our ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels and success of individual titles. Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages that occurred during 2023 had a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s liquidity and cash burn rates. Further, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet our obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of this Quarterly Report on terms acceptable to us or at all.
On March 28, 2024, we entered into a Common Stock equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents to sell shares of Common Stock, from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of $250.0 million, through an at-the-market offering program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we raised gross proceeds of $250.0
62
million and paid fees to sales agents and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $6.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, through the at-the-market offering of approximately 72.5 million shares of Common Stock. We paid $0.7 million of other third-party issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the program to bolster liquidity, to repay, refinance, redeem or repurchase our existing indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any) and for general corporate purposes.
As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, we voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. We currently do not expect to replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. We have entered into a new letter of credit facility in order to continue to provide letters of credit in the ordinary course of business following the termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $254.4 million and $137.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in net cash flows used in operating activities was primarily due to the decline in attendance due to the impact of labor stoppages that occurred during 2023 and third-party fees paid in connection with the modification of the term loans. All things being equal, a decline in attendance results in less cash inflows provided by operating activities that could be used to pay for the costs associated with our operations, thus creating an increase in net cash used in operations. The additional cash used in operating activities due to the decline in attendance was partially offset by reductions in rent repayments that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic and vendor dispute and other settlement proceeds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $154.0 million and $116.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $155.8 million and $153.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash flows used in investing activities included proceeds from the sale of our investment in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC of $30.0 million and proceeds from the disposition of long-term assets of $8.6 million.
We fund the costs of constructing, maintaining, and remodeling our theatres through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, landlord contributions, or capital raised, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases, which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We estimate that our capital expenditures, net of landlord contributions, will be approximately $175 million to $225 million for year ended December 31, 2024, to maintain and enhance operations.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $72.1 million and $355.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were primarily due to net proceeds from equity issuances of $243.0 million and proceeds from the issuance of New Term Loans of $27.0 million, partially offset by the repurchase of Second Lien Notes of $83.2 million, deferred debt issuance costs of $45.7 million, principal payments under Existing Term Loans of $27.0 million, the repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 of $12.9 million, the repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 of $6.0 million, principal payments under term loan borrowings of $15.1 million, and taxes paid for restricted unit withholdings of $2.2 million. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information, including a summary of principal payments required and maturities of corporate borrowings as of September 30, 2024.

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were primarily due to net proceeds from equity issuances of $492.4 million, net of issuance costs, partially offset by the repurchase of Second Lien Notes for $99.8 million, and taxes paid for restricted unit withholdings of $14.2 million.
Formation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries
On July 22, 2024, American-Multi Cinema Inc. (“Multi-Cinema”), a Missouri corporation and a direct subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), assigned or transferred the net assets (“Theatre Net Assets”) of 175 theatres and transferred a 100% interest in certain intellectual property assets to its direct subsidiary Centertainment Development, LLC (“Centertainment”), and the Theatre Net Assets were in turn transferred to Centertainment’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary Muvico, LLC (“Muvico”), a newly formed Texas limited liability company. Theatre Net Assets include lease contracts and theatre property, including furniture, fixtures, plant and equipment, and other working capital items associated directly with the theatre locations. At the same time, Muvico licensed the intellectual property back to Multi-Cinema for its continued use in the operation of its retained theatres and entered into a management agreement for Multi-Cinema to operate the theatres transferred to Muvico. Muvico and Centertainment (collectively, the “Muvico Group”) are unrestricted subsidiaries under the indenture governing Holdings’ Existing First Lien Notes.
Unrestricted Subsidiaries’ Financial Information and Operating Metrics
Pursuant to the indenture governing Holdings’ Existing First Lien Notes, the indenture governing Muvico’s Exchangeable Notes, and the New Term Loan Credit Agreement governing Holdings’ and Muvico’s New Term Loans, we are presenting the following financial information and operating metrics for the Muvico Group separately from Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries (the “Restricted Subsidiaries” and collectively with Holdings, the “AMC Group”). AMC Theatres of UK Limited, which is an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture governing Holdings’ Existing First Lien Notes has been included with the Restricted Subsidiaries for the purposes of the following presentation of financial information and operating metrics (this subsidiary is individually immaterial). The financial information presented for AMC Group and Muvico Group is presented on a standalone basis with discrete identification of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses associated with the Theatre Net Assets that were transferred to Muvico. Intercompany transactions between entities within the AMC Group or within the Muvico Group have been eliminated. Certain entities within the AMC Group and within the Muvico Group are parties to intercompany management, licensing, and debt agreements with each other. These transactions are reflected discretely within the columnar presentation below and are properly eliminated upon consolidation. The financial information is also prepared using the historical cost carrying values of Holdings, the top parent entity.
Holdings and Muvico are co-borrowers and joint and severally liable for the New Term Loan borrowings. Pursuant to ASC 405-40 we have allocated fifty percent (50%) of the liabilities, interest expense and cash flows each to Muvico and Holdings, respectively. The basis of this allocation is the amount we expect each party to pay.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the ordinary course of business, our financial results are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In accordance with applicable guidance, we presented a sensitivity analysis showing the potential impact to net income of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, our analysis utilized a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease to the average interest rate on our variable rate debt instruments to illustrate the potential impact to interest expense of changes in interest rates and a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease to market interest rates on our fixed rate debt instruments to illustrate the potential impact to fair value of changes in interest rates.
Similarly, for the same period, our analysis used a uniform and hypothetical 10% increase in foreign currency translation rates to depict the potential impact to net income of changes in foreign exchange rates. These market risk instruments and the potential impacts to the condensed consolidated statements of operations are presented below.
Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. As of September 30, 2024, we had an aggregate of $2,019.3 million outstanding principal amount of our New Term Loans which bear interest, at our option, at rates equal to either (i) a base rate plus a margin of between 500 and 600 basis points depending on the total leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) or (ii) Term SOFR plus a margin of between 600 and 700 basis points depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. Until the delivery under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement of the financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, the New Term Loans bear interest, at the option of the Company, at either (a) the base rate plus a margin of 600 basis points or (b) Term SOFR plus a margin of 700 basis points.
Prior to the Refinancing Transactions we had outstanding Existing Term Loans under the Credit Agreement dated April 30, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified) which bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (b) the prime rate announced by the administrative agent and (c) 1.00% per annum plus Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) for a 1-month tenor or (2) Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448% per annum, 0.26161% per annum, and 0.42826% per annum for interest periods of one-month, three-months, or six-months or longer, respectively (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) plus in the case of the Existing Term Loans, 2.0% for base rate loans or 3.0% for SOFR loans.
The rate in effect for the outstanding New Term Loans was 11.919% per annum at September 30, 2024, and 8.427% per annum for the Existing Term Loans at September 30, 2023.
Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Existing Term Loans and New Term Loans by approximately $14.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
At September 30, 2023, we had an aggregate principal balance of $1,910.0 million outstanding under the Existing Term Loans. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on our Existing Term Loans by $14.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in corporate borrowings as of September 30,
73
2024, were principal amounts of $414.4 million of our Exchangeable Notes, $950.0 million of our Existing First Lien Notes, $163.9 million of our Second Lien Notes, $400.0 million of our 12.75% Odeon Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (“Odeon Notes due 2027”), $82.7 million of our 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (“Notes due 2025”), $41.9 million of our 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (“Notes due 2026”), $125.5 million of our 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 (“Notes due 2027”), and £4.0 million ($5.3 million) of our 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (“Sterling Notes due 2024”). A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have caused an increase or (decrease) in the fair value of our fixed rate financial instruments of approximately $65.4 million and $(62.6) million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024.
Included in corporate borrowings as of September 30, 2023, were principal amounts of $950.0 million of our Existing First Lien Notes, $1,124.2 million of our Second Lien Notes, $400.0 million of our Odeon Notes due 2027, $98.3 million of our Notes due 2025, $51.5 million of our Notes due 2026, $125.5 million of our Notes due 2027, and £4.0 million ($4.9 million) of our Sterling Notes due 2024. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have caused an increase or (decrease) in the fair value of our fixed rate financial instruments of approximately $60.1 million and $(57.7) million, respectively, as of September 30, 2023.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk. We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates arising from our International markets operations. International markets revenues and operating expenses are transacted in British Pounds, Euros, Swedish Krona, and Norwegian Krone. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If any international subsidiary was to operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP would require that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon the functional currencies in the International markets as of September 30, 2024, holding everything else constant, a hypothetical 10% increase in foreign currency translation rates to depict the potential impact to net loss of changes in foreign exchange rates would increase the aggregate net loss of our International theatres for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, by approximately $5.1 million. Based upon the functional currencies in the International markets as of September 30, 2023, holding everything else constant, a hypothetical 10% increase in foreign currency translation rates to depict the potential impact to net loss of changes in foreign exchange rates would increase the aggregate net loss of our International theatres for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, by approximately $4.4 million.
Our foreign currency translation rates increased by approximately 1.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) | Changes in internal control. |
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent calendar quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Reference is made to Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for information on certain litigation to which we are a party.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Reference is made to Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Part II Item 1A. in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
There has been significant recent dilution and there may continue to be significant additional future dilution of our Common Stock, which could adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock.
From January 1, 2020 through November 5, 2024, the outstanding shares of our Common Stock have increased by 370,471,691 shares (on a Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis) in a combination of at-the-market sales, conversion of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, shareholder litigation settlement, conversion of Class B common stock, conversion of notes, exchanges of notes, transaction fee payments, and equity grant vesting. On March 14, 2023, the Company held the Special Meeting and obtained the requisite stockholder approval for the Charter Amendments (as defined in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023) and on August 14, 2023 we filed the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation implementing the Charter Amendments effective as of August 24, 2023. In accordance with the Charter Amendments, we increased the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 524,173,073 to 550,000,000 shares of Common Stock and effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock outstanding. In accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations governing the Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, following the effectiveness of the Charter Amendments all outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock converted into 99,540,642 shares of Common Stock. On July 22, 2024, as part of the Refinancing Transactions, Muvico issued the Exchangeable Notes and the Additional Exchangeable Notes that are exchangeable into our Common Stock pursuant to the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes.
If the Exchangeable Notes and the Additional Exchangeable Notes are converted fully into shares of our Common Stock, they will be converted into an aggregate of up to 92,584,105 shares of Common Stock, which represents the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchangeable Notes, including a make-whole fee, determined as if the Additional Notes had been purchased by the holders of the Exchangeable Notes, and the outstanding Exchangeable Notes were converted in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of this report, without regard to any limitations on the conversion therein.
If the Exchangeable Notes and Additional Exchangeable Notes are converted fully into shares of our Common Stock prior to maturity, without regard to any limitations on the conversion therein, the maximum number of the Additional Exchangeable Notes are issued, and Muvico elects to pay interest by issuing PIK Notes during the life of the Exchangeable Notes, they will be converted into an aggregate of up to 129,051,873 shares of Common Stock representing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion therein.
As of November 5, 2024, there were 375,679,699 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. We expect to issue additional shares of Common Stock to raise cash to bolster our liquidity, to repay, refinance, redeem or refinance indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any), for working capital, to finance strategic initiatives and future acquisitions, to settle conversion of the Exchangeable Notes, including any PIK Notes and Additional Exchangeable Notes, or for other purposes. We may also issue preferred equity securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock or acquire interests in other companies, or other assets by using a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, or just shares of Common Stock. The holders of the Exchangeable Notes may from time to time convert the Exchangeable Notes and Additional Exchangeable Notes into shares of our Common Stock, and Muvico may elect to pay interest-in-kind by issuing PIK
75
Notes. Additionally, vesting of outstanding awards pursuant to our current and legacy equity compensation programs results in the issuance of new shares of Common Stock, net of any shares withheld to cover tax withholding obligations upon vesting. Any of these events may significantly dilute the ownership interests of current stockholders, reduce our earnings per share or have an adverse effect on the price of our shares of Common Stock.
The market price and trading volume of our shares of Common Stock have experienced, and may continue to experience, extreme volatility, which could cause purchasers of our Common Stock to incur substantial losses.
The market prices and trading volume of our shares of Common Stock have experienced, and may continue to experience, extreme volatility, which could cause purchasers of our Common Stock to incur substantial losses. For example, during 2023 and 2024 to date, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, the market price of our Common Stock has fluctuated from an intra-day low on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of $2.38 per share on April 16, 2024 to an intra-day high on the NYSE of $85.30 on February 28, 2023. The last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on November 5, 2024, was $4.39 per share. During 2023 and 2024 to date, daily trading volume ranged from approximately 771,720 to 634,246,600 shares.
We believe that volatility and market prices of our shares may reflect market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business, or macro or industry fundamentals, and we do not know how long these dynamics will last.
Extreme fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock have been accompanied by reports of strong and atypical retail investor interest, including on social media and online forums. The market volatility and trading patterns we have experienced create several risks for investors, including the following:
• | the market prices of our Common Stock have experienced and may continue to experience rapid and substantial increases or decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, or macro or industry fundamentals, and substantial increases may be significantly inconsistent with the risks and uncertainties that we continue to face; |
• | factors in the public trading market for our Common Stock may include the sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites and online forums), the direct access by retail investors to broadly available trading platforms, the amount and status of short interest in our securities, access to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our Common Stock and any related hedging and other trading factors; |
• | our market capitalization, as implied by various trading prices, currently reflects valuations that diverge significantly from historical valuations, and to the extent these valuations reflect trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses if there are declines in market prices; |
• | to the extent volatility in our Common Stock is caused, or may from time to time be caused, as has widely been reported, by a “short squeeze” in which coordinated trading activity causes a spike in the market price of our Common Stock as traders with a short position make market purchases to avoid or to mitigate potential losses, investors purchase at inflated prices unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, and may thereafter suffer substantial losses as prices decline once the level of short-covering purchases has abated; and |
• | if the market prices of our Common Stock declines, investors may be unable to resell shares of our Common Stock at or above the price at which their investment was made. Our Common Stock may continue to fluctuate or decline significantly in the future, which may result in substantial losses. |
The market price of our Common Stock could also be negatively affected by any unfavorable outcome in the Noteholder Action described in Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q or by any other action brought by note holders resulting from the Refinancing Transactions. If it is determined that the Company breached, as claimed, the Intercreditor Agreement, this would permit note holders to claim an event of default occurred under the indenture governing the Existing First Lien Notes and, subject to any conditions in the indenture, permit note holders to accelerate the Existing First Lien Notes, which could in turn result in the acceleration of the Company’s other outstanding debt. Such an event would thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and on the market prices of our securities, including our Common Stock. Additional litigation brought by the note holders, any additional claimed defaults under the indenture or any publicity in connection therewith could also negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock.
76
Future increases or decreases in the market of our Common Stock may not coincide in timing with the disclosure of news or developments by or affecting us. Accordingly, the market price of our shares of Common Stock may fluctuate dramatically, and may decline rapidly, regardless of any developments in our business. Overall, there are various factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock, including:
• | actual or anticipated variations in our annual or quarterly results of operations, including our earnings estimates and whether we meet market expectations with regard to our earnings; |
• | restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or other distributions; |
• | publication of research reports by analysts or others about us or the motion picture exhibition industry, which may be unfavorable, inaccurate, inconsistent or not disseminated on a regular basis; |
• | changes in market interest rates that may cause purchasers of our shares to demand a different yield; |
• | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
• | market reaction to any additional equity, debt or other securities that we may issue in the future, and which may or may not dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders; |
• | additions or departures of key personnel; |
• | actions by institutional or significant stockholders; |
• | short interest in our securities and the market response to such short interest; |
• | the dramatic increase or decrease in the number of individual holders of our Common Stock and their participation in social media platforms targeted at speculative investing; |
• | speculation in the press or investment community about our company or industry; |
• | strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or other investments; |
• | legislative, administrative, regulatory or other actions affecting our business or our industry, including positions taken by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”); |
• | strategic actions taken by motion picture studios, such as the shuffling of film release dates; |
• | investigations, proceedings, or litigation that involve or affect us; |
• | the occurrence of any of the other risk factors included or incorporated by reference in our Annual Report; and |
• | general market and economic conditions. |
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
