PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the largest and most influential theatrical exhibition companies in the world, today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
“Robust consumer enthusiasm to experience compelling content in a larger-than-life, theatrical setting was evident once again in the second quarter. Numerous films across varied genres delivered solid results, including June’s record-breaking release of Inside Out 2 – now the biggest animated title of all time – which drove cumulative Q2 box office performance beyond our expectations despite headwinds caused by last year’s strikes in Hollywood,” stated Sean Gamble, Cinemark President and CEO. “As strong consumer demand yielded better than expected industry performance, Cinemark delivered outsized results, extending our lengthy track record of outperformance through strong execution by our exceptional team, coupled with the ongoing benefits we are deriving from our strategic actions to build audiences, grow new sources of revenue and further hone our industry-leading operating capabilities.”
Melissa Thomas, Cinemark CFO, further added, “Our ability to deliver consistent operational performance has provided us financial flexibility and opportunities to de-lever. We are pleased with the significant progress we have made advancing our near-term capital allocation priorities to strengthen our balance sheet while strategically investing to position our company for sustainable growth. We continue to take a holistic approach in evaluating our capital structure with an ongoing focus on driving long-term shareholder value.”

Constant currency amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding month for 2023. We translate the results of our international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance that excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and other items, as calculated below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below. |
