AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Announces

Record Third Quarter 2016 Results

LEAWOOD, KANSAS - (November 7, 2016) -- AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) (“AMC” or “the Company”), one of the world’s leading theatrical exhibition companies and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence, today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Highlights for the third quarter 2016 include the following:

“Fueled by both a commitment to deliver on our key priorities and a strong industry box office, AMC delivered another outstanding quarter, setting third quarter records on many fronts, and growing adjusted EBITDA nearly 33% and diluted EPS over 150%,” said Adam Aron, AMC Chief Executive Officer and President.

Aron added, “Progress continues on our key priorities as world-class marketing took center stage in the third quarter with the national relaunch of our AMC Stubs loyalty program.  As we have previously reported, AMC Stubs was overwhelmingly received by guests as we blew through the 4 million active household member mark by late September and as of today exceeds 4.5 million household members.  Scores of new guests were also introduced to the imaginative AMC theatre experience in the third quarter as we continued to invest in our innovative food and beverage services, recliner seating renovations and premium large format auditoriums.  We believe our proven innovative guest amenities drive results across our existing circuit, and when combined with the more traditional exhibitor landscapes in Europe and the non-urban U.S. markets served by Odeon & UCI and Carmike Cinemas, respectively, we are very excited about our prospects for the upcoming 2017 and 2018 box office years and beyond.”

Highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, include the following:

Recent Debt Financing

In connection with the planned acquisitions of Odeon/UCI and Carmike, on October 20, 2016, the Company announced that it intended to offer, subject to market conditions and other conditions, approximately $900 million aggregate principal amount of dollar-denominated Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 and sterling-denominated Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 through a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company also announced that it intended to offer approximately $500 million principal amount dollar-denominated “B” term loans due 2023 via a new “B” incremental term loan tranche under its existing credit agreement (the “New Term Loans”).

On October 28, 2016, AMC priced the private offering of $595 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Dollar Notes”) and £250 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the “Sterling Notes”).  In addition, AMC expects to amend its existing “B” term loans due 2022 to lower the interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 2.75%, and priced $500 million of New Term Loans due 2023 at LIBOR plus 2.75%.

The offering is expected to close on November 8, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.
