NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “AMC”), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Europe. Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. (“Wanda”), a Chinese private conglomerate.

As of June 30, 2017, Wanda owned approximately 57.92% of Holdings’ outstanding common stock and 80.51% of the combined voting power of Holdings’ outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings’ affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company’s assets and other extraordinary transactions.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, and (5) Gift card and exchange ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders’ equity, net earnings and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets.

Presentation: In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, assets held for sale within current assets have been presented separately from other current assets in the current year presentation with conforming reclassifications made for the prior period presentation.

Accumulated depreciation and amortization: Accumulated depreciation was $994.9 million and $792.3 million, at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, related to property. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $45.1 million and $35.4 million, at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

Nordic Cinema Group Holding AB

On March 28, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Nordic Cinema Group Holding AB (“Nordic”) for cash. The purchase price for Nordic was approximately SEK 5,756 million ($654.9 million), which includes payment of interest on the equity value and repayment of shareholder loans. As a result of the acquisition, the Company assumed the indebtedness of Nordic of approximately SEK 1,269 million ($144.4 million) and indebtedness of approximately €156 million ($169.5 million) as of March 28, 2017, which was refinanced subsequent to the acquisition. The Company also assumed approximately SEK 13.5 million ($1.6 million) and approximately €1.0 million ($1.1 million) of interest rate swaps related to the indebtedness which were repaid following the acquisition. All amounts have been converted into US Dollar amounts assuming an SEK/USD exchange rate of 0.11378 and an EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.0865, which were the exchange rates on March 27, 2017. Nordic operated 71 theatres, 467 screens, and approximately 67,000 seats in nearly 50 large and medium-sized cities in the Nordic and Baltic nations, and holds a substantial minority investment in another 51 associated theatres with 216 screens, to which Nordic provides a variety of shared services. Nordic is the largest theatre operator in Scandinavia and the Nordic and Baltic Regions of Europe. Nordic operates in seven countries in the northern region of Europe: Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Denmark.

The acquisition is being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805, Business Combinations”), which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management’s judgment after evaluating several factors, including a preliminary valuation assessment. Because the values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates of fair value available as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, amounts may be adjusted during the measurement period of up to twelve months from the date of acquisition as further information becomes available. Any changes in the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to changes as appraisals of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities including working capital are finalized, purchase price adjustments are completed and additional information regarding the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the acquisition date becomes available. The following is a summary of a preliminary allocation of the purchase price:

Total estimated purchase price	$	654.9	$	—	$	654.9

(1)

Amounts recorded for property include land, buildings, capital lease assets, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments primarily related to the preliminary valuation of property, intangible assets, equity method investments, financing lease obligations and related tax adjustments.

(2)

Amounts recorded for goodwill are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Including current portion of approximately $3.5 million.

Additional information for intangible assets acquired on March 28, 2017 is presented below:


	Weighted Average		Gross
(In millions)	Amortization Period		Carrying Amount

Trade name agreement		4.0 years		1.0
Total, amortizable		4.8 years	$	15.0
Unamortized intangible assets:
Trade names			$	9.9

(5)

Amounts recorded for other long-term liabilities include unfavorable leases of approximately $17.3 million.

The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals, and market comparables.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred acquisition-related and transition costs for Nordic of approximately $1.8 million and $9.4 million, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The revenues for Nordic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $69.9 million and $72.4 million, respectively, and net earnings (loss) was an immaterial amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings Limited.

On November 30, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings Limited. (“Odeon”) for approximately £510.4 million ($637.1 million) comprised of cash of approximately £384.8 million ($480.3 million) and 4,536,466 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a fair value of approximately £125.6 million ($156.7 million) based on a closing share price of $34.55 per share on November 29, 2016. The amounts set forth above are based on a GBP/USD exchange rate of approximately 1.25 on November 30, 2016. As of November 30, 2016, Odeon operated 244 theatres and 2,243 screens in four major European markets: United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Germany; and three smaller markets: Austria, Portugal and Ireland.

(1)

Amounts recorded for property include land, buildings, capital lease assets, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments primarily related to the preliminary valuation of property and financing lease obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold one theatre and reduced the carrying value to fair value.

The preliminary fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals, and market comparables that the Company is still reviewing.

The purchase price paid by the Company in the acquisition resulted in recognition of goodwill because it exceeded the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company paid a price in excess of estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed because the acquisition of Odeon allows considerable opportunity in the European markets where it operates to leverage theatre renovations, including power recliners, enhanced food and beverage offerings and premium large format experiences, among others, to drive future growth and value. Odeon also provides the Company with a strong and scalable platform to pursue future international growth opportunities. The Company also expects to realize synergy and cost savings related to the acquisition because of

purchasing and procurement economies of scale.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company incurred acquisition-related and transition costs for Odeon of approximately $0.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The revenues for Odeon during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $223.6 million and $508.8 million, respectively, and the net loss was $23.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

On December 21, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) for approximately $858.2 million comprised of cash of approximately $584.3 million and 8,189,808 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a fair value of approximately $273.9 million (based on a closing share price of $33.45 per share on December 20, 2016). The Company also assumed debt of $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2023 (the “Senior Secured Notes due 2023”). As of December 21, 2016, Carmike operated 271 theatres and 2,923 screens located in 41 states.

The purchase price paid by the Company in the acquisition resulted in recognition of goodwill because it exceeded the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company paid a price in excess of estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed because the acquisition of Carmike increased and diversified its domestic footprint and made the Company the largest theatre operator in the United States in terms of revenues and offers a unique opportunity to introduce guest-focused strategic initiatives to millions of Carmike’s movie-goers. The Company also expects to realize significant synergy and cost savings related to the acquisition because of purchasing and procurement economies of scale and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred acquisition-related and transition costs for Carmike of approximately $7.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Carmike was acquired on December 21, 2016 and the Company immediately began integrating the operations. The revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $168.8 million and $368.0 million, respectively, and the net earnings (loss) was $(7.3) million and $5.0 million, respectively.

Department of Justice Final Judgment - In connection with the acquisition of Carmike the Company entered into a Final Judgment with the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) on March 7, 2017, pursuant to which the Company agreed to take certain actions to enable it to complete its acquisition of Carmike, including divest 17 movie theatres (and certain related assets) in the 15 local markets where the Company and Carmike are direct competitors to one or more acquirers acceptable to the DOJ (the Company received gross proceeds of $25.1 million related to divested theatre assets that were held for sale and sold during the three months ended June 30, 2017); establish firewalls to ensure the Company does not obtain National CineMedia, LLC’s (“NCM” or “NCM LLC”), Screenvision’s or other exhibitors competitively sensitive information; relinquish seats on NCM’s board of directors and all other NCM governance rights; and transfer 24 theatres comprising 384 screens (which represent less than 2% of NCM’s total network) to the Screenvision network. This includes five Carmike theatres that implemented the Screenvision network prior to completion of the Carmike acquisition, an AMC theatre required to extend its existing term with the Screenvision network, and an AMC theatre that was also included in the divestitures. The settlement agreement also requires the Company to divest the majority of its equity interests in National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCMI”) common shares and NCM LLC common units so that by June 20, 2019, it owns no more than 4.99% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests per the following schedule: (i) on or before December 20, 2017, AMC must own no more than 15% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests (as of June 30, 2017, the Company classified a portion of its investment in NCM as assets held for sale of $110.5 million); (ii) on or before December 20, 2018, AMC must own no more than 7.5% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests; and (iii) on or before June 20, 2019 AMC must own no more than 4.99% of NCM’s outstanding equity interests. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the settlement, effective December 20, 2016, Craig R. Ramsey, executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, resigned his position as a member of the Board of Directors of National CineMedia, Inc.

Pro Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following selected comparative unaudited pro forma results of operation information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 assumes that the Odeon, Carmike, and Nordic acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 2016, and reflects the full results of operations for the years presented. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations which would actually have occurred had the combination been in effect on the dates indicated, or which may occur in the future. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Odeon, Carmike, and Nordic to reflect the preliminary fair value adjustments to property and equipment and financing obligations. The pro forma financial information presented includes the effects of adjustments related to preliminary values assigned to long-lived assets, including depreciation charges from acquired property and equipment, interest expense and incremental shares issued from financing the acquisitions and the related income tax effects and the elimination of Carmike and AMC historical revenues and expenses for theatres in markets that were divested as required by the Department of Justice. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs directly related to the acquisitions have not been removed as provided in ASC 805, Business Combinations.

NCM Agreement

On March 9, 2017, the Company reached an agreement with NCM to implement the requirements of the final judgment entered in connection with the DOJ approval of the Carmike transaction, as discussed in Note 2 – Acquisitions. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company received 18,425,423 NCM common units in March 2017 related to annual attendance at the Carmike theatres and 361,892 NCM common units related to the 2016 common unit adjustment. Because the Carmike theatres were subject to a pre-existing agreement with a third party and will not receive advertising services from NCM, the Company will be obligated to make quarterly payments to NCM reflecting the estimated value of the advertising services at the Carmike theatres as if NCM had provided such services. The quarterly payments will continue until the earlier of (i) the date the theatres are transferred to the NCM network or (ii) expiration of the ESA with NCM. All calculations will be made pursuant to the terms of the existing ESA and Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with NCM. With regard to the existing AMC theatres on the NCM network that are required under the final judgment to be transferred to another advertising provider, the Company returned 2,850,453 (valued at $36.4 million) NCM common units to NCM in March 2017, calculated under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement as if such theatres had been disposed of on March 3, 2017. The Company is not obligated to make quarterly payments with respect to the transferred theatres. In addition, the Company returned 1,807,220 additional NCM common units (valued at $22.6 million) in exchange for a waiver of exclusivity by NCM as to the required transferred theatres for the term of the final judgment, which was classified as general and administrative: Merger, acquisition and transaction costs when the common units were returned to NCM during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company recorded a loss of $1.2 million on the return of NCM common units as per the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement and exclusivity waiver for the difference between the average carrying value of the units and the fair value on the date of return. As a result of the agreement, the Company received 14,129,642 net additional NCM common units, valued at $176.9 million based on the market price of NCM, Inc. stock on March 16, 2017 of $12.52. Due to the structure of the transactions, the Company will no longer anticipate recognizing taxable gain upon receipt of new NCM common units. The Company has also agreed to reimburse NCM up to $1.0 million for expenses related to the negotiation of this agreement. The Company has classified 14.9 million NCM common units (approximately $110.5 million) as held for sale as of June 30, 2017, which it must sell before December 20, 2017 to reach the 15% ownership level discussed above in the Department of Justice Final Judgment. The Company recorded in: Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $202.6 million and $204.5 million to reduce the carrying value of its investment in NCM to Level 1 fair value during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The other-than-temporary impairment charge reflects recording our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017 of $7.42 based on the Company’s determination that the decline in the price per share during the quarter was other than temporary.

Digital Cinema Media. The Company acquired its investment in DCM on November 30, 2016 in connection with the acquisition of Odeon.

conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by AMC’s management team. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any minimum dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. The Company had 55,078,572 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2017.

Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a receivable due from Wanda of $0.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively, for reimbursement of general administrative and other expense incurred on behalf of Wanda and a pledged capital contribution.

Temporary Equity

Certain members of management have the right to require Holdings to repurchase the Class A common stock held by them under certain limited circumstances pursuant to the terms of a stockholders agreement. Beginning on January 1, 2016 (or upon the termination of a management stockholder’s employment by the Company without cause, by the management stockholder for good reason, or due to the management stockholder’s death or disability) management stockholders will have the right, in limited circumstances, to require Holdings to purchase shares that are not fully and freely tradeable at a price equal to the price per share paid by such management stockholder with appropriate adjustments for any subsequent events such as dividends, splits, or combinations. The shares of Class A common stock, subject to the stockholder agreement, are classified as temporary equity, apart from permanent equity, as a result of the contingent redemption feature contained in the stockholder agreement. The Company determined the amount reflected in temporary equity for the Class A common stock based on the price paid per share by the management stockholders and Wanda on August 30, 2012, the date Wanda acquired Holdings.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, a former employee who held 27,197 shares, relinquished his put right, therefore the related share amount of $0.3 million was reclassified to additional paid in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s financial statements reflect an increase to additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation of $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company determined that achieving the three-year performance thresholds of the 2016 Performance Stock Units was improbable and reversed $2.6 million of stock-based compensation expense and ceased accruing any additional expense on these units. If the Company later determines that the performance thresholds of the 2016 Performance Stock Units is probable, then historical expense would be reinstated and accruals would resume.

As of June 30, 2017, including the 2017 grants, there was approximately $21.2 million of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost, assuming attainment of the performance targets at 100%, related to stock-based compensation arrangements expected to be recognized during the remainder of calendar 2017, calendar 2018, and

NOTE 6—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s worldwide effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the worldwide annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and

Table of Contents

records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected worldwide effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.

The worldwide effective tax rate based on annual projected earnings for the year ending December 31, 2017 is projected to be 41.8%. The actual rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is 41.4%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded two discrete tax benefits. The first related to excess tax benefits recognized under Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” of approximately $2.6 million. The second related to the tax benefit on the NCM other-than-temporary impairment of approximately $78.9 million.

The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the foreign tax rate differential driven by Odeon and Nordic earnings, valuation allowances recorded in the Odeon jurisdictions, the domestic discrete items, state income taxes, permanent items and credits.

Tax contingencies and other income tax liabilities were $15.3 million and $12.7 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in other long-term liabilities. The increase relates primarily to state income taxes and state income tax credits.

The Company also continues to be subject to examination by the IRS and the fiscal year ended March 29, 2012 (tax year 2011) is currently under extended statute. The Company believes its allowances for income tax contingencies are adequate. Based on the information currently available, the Company does not anticipate a material (or significant) increase or decrease to its tax contingencies within the next 12 months.

The Company is subject to income tax in many jurisdictions outside the U.S. The Company’s operations in certain jurisdictions remain subject to examination for tax years 2013 to 2016, some of which are currently under audit by local tax authorities. The resolutions of these audits are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:	Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The investments relate to a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement on behalf of certain management. The Company has an equivalent liability for this related-party transaction recorded in other long-term liabilities for the deferred compensation obligation.

Valuation Techniques. The Company’s money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. See Note 9—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:


			Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2017 Using

Equity interest in NCMI		0.9		0.9		—		—
Equity interest in NCM LLC		172.1		172.1		—		—

Equity interests in NCMI and NCM LLC were considered impaired and were written down to their fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 of $202.6 million and $204.5 million, respectively.

On June 30, 2017, the Company reviewed the fair value of its equity interests in NCMI common shares and NCM LLC common units, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in assets held for sale and other long-term assets. The Company’s equity interests in common shares and common units had been in an unrealized loss position for approximately three months at June 30, 2017. The Company reviewed the unrealized loss for a possible impairment and determined that the loss as of June 30, 2017 was other-than-temporary. The impairment analysis requires significant judgment to identify events or circumstances that would likely have a significant adverse effect on the future value of the investment. On June 30, 2017, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $202.6 million within equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities, as the Company determined the decline in fair value below carrying value to be other than temporary at June 30, 2017. Consideration was given to financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and ability to retain the equity interests in the issuers for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

NOTE 10—OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company reports information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. Beginning with the Company’s acquisition of Odeon in 2016, the Company has identified two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. The International markets segment consists of operations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Denmark. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions, food and beverage sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising, AMC Stubs membership fees, ticket sales, gift card income and exchange ticket income. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

Below is a breakdown of select financial information by reportable operating segment:

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 its ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from its other equity method investees. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, which is consistent with how Adjusted EBITDA is defined in our debt indentures.

Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens including the related accretion of interest, non-cash deferred digital equipment rent expense, and disposition of assets and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. The Company has excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature, include components of interest cost for the time value of money or are non-operating in nature.

(2)

Equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities includes an other-than-temporary impairment of the Company’s investment in NCM of $202.6 million and $204.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017. The other-than-temporary impairment charge reflects recording our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017 of $7.42 based on the Company’s determination that the decline in the price per share during the quarter was other than temporary.

(3)

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

(4)

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

NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

In the U.S., the Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans generally covering all employees who, prior to the freeze, were age 21 or older and had completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who were not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company also offered eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan. Certain employees were eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits. The eligibility for these benefits was based upon a participant’s age and service as of January 1, 2009. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan.

Net periodic benefit cost (credit) recognized for the plans in general and administrative: other during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 consists of the following:

NOTE 12—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, 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.

On May 28, 2015, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Beginning in May 2015, the Company also received CIDs from the Attorneys General for the States of Ohio, Texas, Washington, Florida, New York, Kansas, and from the District of Columbia, regarding similar inquiries under those states’ antitrust laws. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. The Company may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company does not believe it has violated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, the Company cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.

NOTE 13—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet decided whether it will early adopt the new standard. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.

The Company expects that this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. While the Company is continuing to assess the effect of adoption, the Company currently believes the most significant changes relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for theatres subject to operating leases; (2) the derecognition of existing assets and liabilities for certain sale-leaseback transactions (including those arising from build-to-suit lease arrangements for which construction is complete and the Company is leasing the constructed asset) that currently do not qualify for sale accounting; and (3) the derecognition of existing assets and liabilities for certain assets under construction in build-to-suit lease arrangements that the Company will lease when construction is complete. The Company does not expect a significant change in our leasing activity between now and adoption. The Company expects to elect all of the standard’s available practical expedients on adoption. However, the Company has not quantified the effects of these expected changes from the new standard.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial

Table of Contents

statements including the Company’s Exhibitor’s Services Agreement with NCM, its customer frequency program, gift card and exchange ticket income and other ancillary or contractual revenues. The Company believes its Exhibitor’s Services Agreement with NCM includes a significant financing component and expects that as a result advertising revenues will increase significantly with a similar offsetting increase in interest expense. The Company has selected the cumulative effect transition method, and expects to adopt in the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14—EARNINGS 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 per share includes the effects of unvested RSU’s with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Shares for diluted earnings per common share		131,166		98,304		126,290		98,237
Basic earnings (loss) per common share	$	(1.35)	$	0.24	$	(1.33)	$	0.53
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share	$	(1.35)	$	0.24	$	(1.33)	$	0.53

Vested RSUs and PSU’s have dividend rights identical to the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Certain unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, unvested PSU’s and Transition PSU’s of 194,731 at the minimum performance target were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share since the shares would not be issuable under the terms of the Plan, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period and they would also be anti-dilutive. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, unvested RSU’s and RSU’s Section 162 (m) of 338,629 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 16—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

See Note – 5 Stockholders’ Equity for dividends declared August 3, 2017.

On August 3, 2017, Holdings’ Board of Directors approved a $100.0 million share repurchase program to repurchase AMC Class A common stock over a two-year period.

Repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time through open market transactions including block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise over the next two years in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. The extent to which AMC repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including liquidity, capital needs of the business, market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by AMC’s management team. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any minimum dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. The Company had 55,078,572 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2017.

On August 4, 2017, the Company and Regal Entertainment Group consummated a transaction for the sale of all the issued and outstanding ownership interests in Open Road Releasing, LLC for total proceeds of $28.8 million of which the Company received $14.4 million in proceeds (less transaction expenses) for its 50% investment. The Company and Open Road have entered into a new marketing agreement with respect to films released by Open Road after the closing date.

Overview

AMC is one of the world’s largest theatrical exhibition companies and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence. We operate productive theatres in 15 countries and are the market leader in nine of those. In the United States top markets, AMC has the No. 1 or No. 2 market share in the top three markets, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Our theatrical exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre food and beverage sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our AMC Stubs™ customer frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, income from gift card and exchange ticket sales, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies. As of June 30, 2017, we owned, operated or had interests in 1,009 theatres and 11,083 screens.

Film Content

Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license “first-run” 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 accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture. In certain circumstances and less frequently, our rental fees are based on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

During the 2016 calendar year, films licensed from our seven largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 90% of our U.S. admissions revenues. 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 revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films are usually released during the summer and the calendar year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year.

Fathom Events (‘‘Fathom’’) is a joint venture with several major exhibitors and is the recognized leader in the alternative entertainment industry, offering a variety of one-of-a-kind entertainment events in movie theaters nationwide that include live, high-definition performances of the Metropolitan Opera, the performing arts, major sporting events, music concerts, comedy series, Broadway shows, original programming featuring entertainment’s biggest stars, socially relevant documentaries with audience Q&A and much more. We are working with Fathom to further broaden our programming options to appeal to even wider audiences.

AMC Movie Screens

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we opened 5 new theatres with a total of 42 screens, acquired 124 theatres with 705 screens, which includes the acquisition of Nordic, permanently closed 236 screens including theatre divestitures required as a condition of our acquisition of Carmike, temporarily closed 316 screens and reopened 330 screens to implement our strategy and install consumer experience upgrades. On March 28, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Nordic. As of June 30, 2017, Nordic operated or held a partial interest in 122 theatres with 683 screens (including 51 joint venture theatres with 216 screens) in seven European countries, which further complements our International markets segment.

As of June 30, 2017, we had 5,371 3D enabled screens, including 201 IMAX®, and 107 Premium Large Format (“PLF”) screens; approximately 48% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX® 3D enabled screens, and approximately 2% of our screens were IMAX® 3D enabled screens. We are the largest IMAX® exhibitor in the United States with 180 screens and a 51% market share and each of our IMAX® local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity. The following table identifies the upgrades to our theatre circuit during the periods indicated:


	Number of	Number of
	Screens As of	Screens As of
Format	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Digital	11,083	10,558

IMAX®. IMAX® is one of the world’s leading entertainment technology companies, specializing in motion picture technologies and presentations. IMAX® offers a unique end-to-end cinematic solution combining proprietary software, theater architecture and equipment to create the highest-quality, most immersive motion picture experience for which the IMAX® brand has become known globally. Top filmmakers and studios utilize IMAX® theaters to connect

Table of Contents

with audiences in innovative ways, and as such, IMAX®’s theater network is among the most important and successful theatrical distribution platforms for major event films around the world.

As of June 30, 2017, AMC is the largest IMAX® exhibitor in the U.S. with a 51% market share, and each of our IMAX® local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity. As of June 30, 2017, our IMAX® screen count is 96% greater than our closest competitor. We believe that we have had considerable success with our IMAX® partnership, and in June 2016 we announced an agreement to expand the number of IMAX® screens in our legacy AMC U.S. theatres to 185 by the end of 2019.

Dolby Cinema™ at AMC. In May 2015, we partnered with Dolby Laboratories, Inc. to unveil a premium cinema offering for movie-goers that combined state-of-the-art image and sound technologies with inspired theatre design and comfort. Dolby Cinema™ at AMC includes Dolby Vision™ laser projection and object oriented Dolby Atmos® audio technology, as well as AMC’s plush power reclining seats with seat transducers that vibrate with the action on screen.

As of June 30, 2017, we have 74 fully operational Dolby Cinema™ at AMC screens in the U.S. In August 2016 we announced the acceleration of our Dolby Cinema™ at AMC deployment. We expect to have 160 Dolby Cinema™ at AMC screens operational by the end of 2018.

Prime at AMC. We believe there is considerable opportunity to add a private label PLF format in many of our locations, with superior sight and sound technology and enhanced seating as contrasted with our traditional auditoriums. This PLF format will give AMC the capability to add a screen in theatres already outfitted with IMAX® and/or Dolby Cinema™ at AMC. Also, this PLF should offer an enhanced theatrical experience for movie-goers beyond AMC’s current core theatres, but may not carry the same price premium as IMAX® or Dolby Cinema™ at AMC. Therefore, it may be especially relevant in smaller or more price sensitive markets.

Technical innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as 3D, IMAX®, and other large screen formats. When combined with our major markets’ customer base, the operating flexibility of digital technology enhances our capacity utilization and dynamic pricing capabilities. This enables us to achieve higher ticket prices for premium formats and provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content such as live concerts, sporting events, Broadway shows, opera and other non-traditional programming. Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We intend to continue to broaden our content offerings and enhance the customer experience in operating IMAX® screens and through the installation of additional Dolby Cinema™ at AMC screens, our PLF screen concepts, and the presentation of attractive alternative content.

Guest Amenities

We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit through substantial renovations featuring our seating concepts, acquisitions, new builds (including expansions), expansion of food and beverage offerings (including dine-in theatres), and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically, our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and premium seat design.

Recliner seating is the key feature of theatre renovations. We believe that maximizing comfort and convenience for our customers will be increasingly necessary to maintain and improve our relevance. These renovations, in conjunction with capital contributions from our landlords, involve stripping theatres to their basic structure in order to replace finishes throughout, upgrade the sight and sound experience, install modernized points of sale and, most importantly, replace traditional theatre seats with plush, electric recliners that allow customers to deploy a leg rest and fully recline at the push of a button. The renovation process typically involves losing up to two-thirds of a given auditorium’s seating capacity. For an industry historically focused on quantity, this reduction in seating capacity could be viewed as counter-intuitive and harmful to revenues. However, the quality improvement in the customer experience is driving a 47% increase in attendance at these locations in their first year post renovation. Our customers have responded favorably to the significant personal space gains from ample row depths, ability to recline or stretch their legs, extra-wide pillowed chaise and oversized armrests. The reseated theatres attract more midweek audiences than normal theatres and tend to draw more adults who pay higher ticket prices than teens or young children. We typically do not change ticket prices in the first year after construction, however, in subsequent years we typically increase our ticket prices at

Table of Contents

our reseated theatres by amounts well in excess of price adjustments for our non-renovated theatres.

As of June 30, 2017, we now feature recliner seating in approximately 232 theatres, including Dine-in-Theatres, totaling approximately 2,321 screens. By the end of 2017, we expect to convert an additional 350 screens to recliner seating.

Rebalancing of the new supply-demand relationship created by recliner seating presents us two further opportunities to improve customer convenience and maximize operating results: open-source internet ticketing and reserved seating.

Open-source internet ticketing makes our AMC seats (over 1.2 million) in all our U.S. theatres and auditoriums for all our showtimes as available as possible, on as many websites as possible. This is a significant departure from the years prior to 2012, when tickets to any one of our theatres were only available on one website. We most recently deployed new technology by partnering with Atom Tickets to allow guests to utilize Atom’s mobile movie ticketing platform to purchase our tickets. Atom’s technology allows movie-goers to check movie reviews and AMC show times, coordinate movie outings among friends while allowing them to pay separately, and pre-pay for food and beverage items. Our tickets are currently on sale over the internet, directly or through mobile apps, at our own website and app and Fandango, Movietickets.com, Flixster and Atom Tickets. We believe increased online access is important because it captures customers’ purchase intent more immediately and directly than if we wait for their arrival at the theatre box office to make a purchase. Carefully monitoring internet pre-sales also lets us adjust capacity in real time, moving movies that are poised to over perform to larger capacity auditoriums or more additional auditoriums, thereby maximizing yield.

Reserved seating, at some of our busiest theatres, and now available at all of our Manhattan, New York City locations, allows our customers to choose a specific seat in advance of the movie. We believe that knowing there is a specifically chosen seat waiting for a show that promises to be a sellout is comforting to our customers, reduces anxiety around the experience and compels ticket purchases. We believe reserved seating will become increasingly prevalent to the point of being a prerequisite in the medium-term future.

We believe the comfort and personal space gains from recliner seating, coupled with the immediacy of demand captured from open-source internet ticketing and the appeal of reserved seating make a powerful economic combination for us.

Food and beverage sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Food and beverage items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different varieties of food and beverage items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in the particular geographic region. Our traditional food and beverage strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing food and beverage offerings designed for rapid service and efficiency, including a customer friendly self-serve experience. We design our theatres to have more food and beverage capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large food and beverage operations within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the food and beverage stands.

To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of enhanced food and beverage products to include made-to-order drinks and meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, premium beers, wine and mixed drinks, flatbread pizzas, more varieties of hot dogs, four flavors of popcorn and other menu items. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, ranging from simple, less capital-intensive food and beverage design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We currently operate 27 Dine-In Theatres that deliver chef-inspired menus with seat-side or delivery service to luxury recliners with tables. Our recent Dine-In Theatre concepts are designed to capitalize on the latest food service trend, the fast casual eating experience.

Coca Cola Freestyle® puts customers in charge with over 140 drink flavor options in a compact footprint. Our operational excellence and history of innovation rewarded us with first-mover advantage on this new technology, which, as of June 30, 2017, was deployed in substantially all of our legacy AMC theatres. We expect to install Coca Cola Freestyle® machines in 100% of AMC’s domestic theatres, including all former Carmike theatres, by the end of 2017, and we have already begun the rollout at the Odeon theatres.

AMC Stubs®

AMC Stubs® is a customer loyalty program for our U.S. markets which allows members to earn rewards, receive discounts and participate in exclusive members-only offerings and services. In July 2016, we completed a national relaunch of our AMC Stubs® loyalty program featuring both a traditional paid tier called AMC Stubs PremiereTM and a new non-paid tier called AMC Stubs InsiderTM. Both programs reward loyal guests for their patronage of AMC Theatres. The AMC Stubs InsiderTM tier rewards guests for simply coming to the movies and benefits include free refills on certain food items, discount ticket offers, a birthday gift and 20 reward points earned for every dollar spent. For a $15 annual membership fee, AMC Stubs PremiereTM members enjoy express service with specially marked shorter lines at the box office and concession stand, free size upgrades on certain food and beverage items, discount ticket offers, a birthday gift, discounted online ticketing fees and 100 points for every dollar spent. Some of the rewards earned are redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. Once an AMC Stubs PremiereTM or AMC Stubs InsiderTM member accumulates 5,000 points they will earn a $5 virtual reward.

As of June 30, 2017, we had 8,143,000 active member households in the AMC Stubs® program. Our AMC Stubs® members represented approximately 23% of our attendance during 2017 with an average ticket price 5% lower than our non-members and food and beverage expenditures per patron 11% lower than non-members. We believe movie-goers want to be recognized and rewarded for attending our theatres and as a result, our new AMC Stubs® program is designed to strengthen guest loyalty, attract new guests and drive additional return visits. Our much larger database of identified movie-goers also provides us with additional insight into our customers’ movie preferences, and this enables us to have both a larger and a more targeted marketing effort to support our Hollywood studio partners.

The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions.

Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Points are forfeited upon expiration and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. For the paid tier of the program (AMC Stubs PremiereTM), the program’s annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Significant Events

On August 4, 2017, AMC and Regal Entertainment Group consummated a transaction for the sale of all the issued and outstanding ownership interests in Open Road Releasing, LLC for total proceeds of $28.8 million of which we received $14.4 million in proceeds (less transaction expenses) for our 50% investment. AMC and Open Road have entered into a new marketing agreement with respect to films released by Open Road after the closing date.

Third Amendment to Credit Agreement. On May 9, 2017, we entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the Third Amendment”), amending the Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2013. The Third Amendment decreased the applicable margin for the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from 1.75% to 1.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% to 2.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. We expensed third party fees of $1.0 million in Other expense (income) related to the Third Amendment to the our Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement. On June 13, 2017, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “Fourth Amendment”), amending the Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2013. The Fourth Amendment increased the revolving loan commitment under the Credit Agreement from $150.0 million to $225.0 million.

Nordic Cinema Group Holding AB. On March 28, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Nordic for cash. The purchase price for Nordic was SEK 5,756 million ($654.9 million), which includes payment of interest on the equity value and repayment of shareholder loans. As a result of the acquisition, we assumed the indebtedness of Nordic of approximately SEK 1,269 million ($144.4 million) and indebtedness of approximately €156 million ($169.5 million) as of March 28, 2017, which was refinanced subsequent to the acquisition. We also repaid approximately 13.5 million SEK ($1.6 million) and approximately €1.0 million ($1.1 million) of interest rate swaps related to the indebtedness, which were repaid following the acquisition. All amounts have been converted into US Dollar amounts assuming an SEK/USD exchange rate of 0.11378 and an EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.0865, which were the exchange rates on March 27, 2017. Nordic operated or held a partial interest in 122 theatres with 683 screens in seven European countries: Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Denmark.

Additional Public Offering. On February 13, 2017, we completed an additional public offering of 20,330,874 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $31.50 per share ($640.4 million), resulting in net proceeds of $616.8 million after underwriters commission and other professional fees. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the aggregate principal amount of the Interim Bridge Loan of $350.0 million and general corporate purposes.

NCM Agreement. On March 9, 2017, we reached an agreement with NCM to implement the requirements of the final judgment entered in connection with the DOJ approval of the Carmike transaction. Pursuant to the agreement, we received 18,425,423 NCM common units in March 2017 related to annual attendance at the Carmike theatres and 361,892 NCM common units related to the 2016 common unit adjustment. Because the Carmike theatres were subject to a pre-existing agreement with a third party and will not receive advertising services from NCM, we will be obligated to make quarterly payments to NCM reflecting the estimated value of the advertising services at the Carmike theatres as if NCM had provided such services. The quarterly payments will continue until the earlier of (i) the date the theatres are

transferred to the NCM network or (ii) expiration of the ESA with NCM. All calculations will be made pursuant to the terms of the existing ESA and Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with NCM. With regard to the existing AMC theatres on the NCM network that are required under the final judgment to be transferred to another advertising provider, we returned 2,850,453 NCM common units (valued at $36.4 million) to NCM in March 2017, calculated under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement as if such theatres had been disposed of on March 3, 2017. We are not obligated to make quarterly payments with respect to the transferred theatres. In addition, we returned 1,807,220 additional NCM common units (valued at $22.6 million) in exchange for a waiver of exclusivity by NCM as to the required transferred theatres for the term of the final judgment, which was classified as General and administrative: Merger, acquisition and transaction costs when the common units were returned to NCM during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We recorded a loss of $1.2 million on the return of NCM common units as per the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement and exclusivity waiver for the difference between the average carrying value of the units and the fair value on the date of return. As a result of the agreement, the we received 14,129,642 net additional NCM common units, valued at $176.9 million based on the market price of NCM, Inc. stock on March 16, 2017 of $12.52. Due to the structure of the transactions, we will no longer anticipate recognizing taxable gain upon the receipt of the new NCM common units. We have also agreed to reimburse NCM up to $1.0 million for expenses related to the negotiation of this agreement. We have classified 14.9 million NCM common units (approximately $110.5 million) as held for sale as of June 30, 2017, which we must sell before December 20, 2017 to reach the 15% ownership level discussed above in the Department of Justice Final Judgment. We recorded in the line item, Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities, an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $202.6 million and $204.5 million in the three months and six months ending June 30, 2017, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of our equity interests in NCM, Inc. common shares and NCM, LLC common units to Level 1 fair value as of June 30, 2017. The other-than-temporary impairment charge reflects recording our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017 of $7.42 based on the our determination that the decline in the price per share during the quarter was other than temporary. Our equity interests in common shares and common units had been in an unrealized loss position for approximately three months at June 30, 2017. The impairment analysis requires significant judgment to identify events or circumstances that would likely have a significant adverse effect on the future value of the investment. Consideration was given to financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and ability to retain the equity interests in the issuers for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Notes due 2027. On March 17, 2017, we completed an offering of $475.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “Notes due 2027”). We capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $19.8 million, related to the issuance of the Notes due 2027. The Notes due 2027 mature on May 15, 2027. We will pay interest on the Notes due 2027 at 6.125% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on May 15th and November 15th, commencing on November 15, 2017. We may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2027 at any time on or after May 15, 2022, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes due 2027 using net proceeds from certain equity offerings completed on or prior to May 15, 2020 at a redemption price as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes due 2027. We may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2027 at any time prior to May 15, 2022 at a redemption price equal to 100% of their aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption, plus an applicable make-whole premium. We used the net proceeds from the Notes due 2027 private offering, together with a portion of the net proceeds from the Sterling Notes due 2024 (see below) to pay a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Nordic plus related transaction fees and expenses.

Additional Sterling Notes due 2024. On March 17, 2017, we completed an offering of £250.0 million additional aggregate principal amount of our Sterling Notes due 2024 at 106% plus accrued interest from November 8, 2016, in a private offering. We capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $12.7 million, related to the issuance of the additional Sterling Notes due 2024. The Sterling Notes due 2024 mature on November 15, 2024. We will pay interest on the Sterling Notes due 2024 at 6.375% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on May 15th and November 15th, commencing on May 15, 2017. We may redeem some or all of the Sterling Notes due 2024 at any time on or after November 15, 2019, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Sterling Notes due 2024 using net proceeds from certain equity offerings completed on or prior to November 15, 2019 at a redemption price as set forth in the Indenture. We may redeem some or all of the Sterling Notes due 2024 at any time prior to November 15, 2019 at a redemption price equal to 100% of their aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption, plus an applicable make-whole premium. We used the net proceeds from the Sterling Notes due 2024 private offering, together with a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes due 2027 to pay a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Nordic plus related transaction fees and expenses.

Odeon and UCI Cinemas Holdings Limited. In November 2016, we completed the acquisition of Odeon for cash and stock. The purchase price for Odeon was $637.1 million, comprised of cash of $480.3 million and 4,536,466 shares of Class A common stock with a fair value of $156.7 million (based on a closing sale price of $34.55 per share on November 29, 2017). In addition, we repaid indebtedness of Odeon of approximately $593.2 million at closing. As of November 30, 2016, Odeon operated 244 theatres and 2,243 screens in four major markets: United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Germany; and three smaller markets: Austria, Portugal and Ireland, and is included within our International markets segment. We expect to realize approximately $10.0 million of synergies and cost savings related to this acquisition as a result of purchasing and procurement economies of scale.

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. We completed the acquisition of Carmike for cash and stock on December 21, 2016. The purchase price for Carmike was $858.2 million comprised of cash of $584.3 million and 8,189,808 shares of our Class A common stock with a fair value of $273.9 million (based on a closing share price of $33.45 per share on December 20, 2016). We also assumed $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2023 (the “Senior Secured Notes due 2023”), in connection with the acquisition of Carmike. As of December 21, 2016, Carmike operated 271 theatres with 2,923 screens in small and mid-sized markets in 41 states, which further complements our U.S. markets segment. We expect to realize approximately $35.0 million of synergies and cost savings related to this acquisition as a result of purchasing and procurement economies of scale and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies.

Bridge Loan Agreement. On December 21, 2016, we entered into a bridge loan agreement with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “Bridge Loan Agreement”). We borrowed $350.0 million of interim bridge loans (the “Interim Bridge Loans”) on December 21, 2016 under the Bridge Loan Agreement. The proceeds from the Interim Bridge Loans were used to pay a portion of the acquisition of Carmike.

On February 13, 2017, we repaid the aggregate principal amount of the Interim Bridge Loan of $350.0 million with a portion of the proceeds from our additional public offering.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in international markets and any cash distributions of earnings from other equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $6.2 million or 4.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA in U.S. markets decreased by $14.8 million or 11.4% due primarily increases in attendance including the benefit of the Carmike acquisition, increases in food and beverage revenues per patron, increases in average ticket prices, increases in other revenues, and partially offset by increases in general and administrative: other and rent. Adjusted EBITDA in international markets increased $21.0 million due primarily to increases in attendance from the Odeon acquisition and the Nordic acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $110.8 million or 40.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA in U.S. markets increased by $36.7 million or 13.3% due primarily to increases in attendance including the benefit of the Carmike acquisition, increases in food and beverage revenues per patron, increases in other revenues, and partially offset by increases in general and administrative: other, rent and decreases in average ticket prices. Adjusted EBITDA in international markets increased $74.1 million due primarily to increases in attendance from the Odeon acquisition and Nordic acquisition.

Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens including the related accretion of interest, non-cash deferred digital equipment rent expense, and disposition of assets and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. We have excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature, include components of interest cost for the time value of money or are non-operating in nature.

Equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities includes an other-than-temporary impairment of the our investment in NCM of $202.6 million and $204.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017. The other-than-temporary impairment charge reflects recording our units and shares at the publicly quoted per share price on June 30, 2017 of $7.42 based on the our determination that the decline in the price per share during the quarter was other than temporary.

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

(4)

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

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and estimate our value.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as 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; and

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

New Segment Information

Our historical results of operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 reflect the results of operations for our two Theatrical Exhibition operating segments, U.S. markets and International markets.

Prior to the acquisition of Odeon on November 30, 2016, we reported one operating segment, Theatrical Exhibition. Our historical results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, includes one theatre in the U.K. which is now reported as part of our International markets operating segment effective with the Odeon acquisition on November 30, 2016.

Results of Operations— For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues. Total revenues increased 57.4% or $438.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Admissions revenues increased 58.2%, or $280.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a 63.3% increase in attendance partially offset by a 3.1% decrease in average ticket price. The increase in attendance was primarily due to the acquisition of Odeon in November 2016, the acquisition of Carmike in December 2016 and the acquisition of Nordic in March 2017. The decrease in average ticket price was primarily due to the acquisition of Odeon where the average ticket price in our International markets is lower than in our U.S. markets. Total admissions revenues were increased by

rewards redeemed, net of deferrals of $1.1 million and were decreased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals of $0.3 million related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs® during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs® are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of customer rewards.

Food and beverage revenues increased 53.6%, or $130.5 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in attendance, partially offset by a 5.9% decrease in food and beverage revenues per patron. The decrease in food and beverage revenues per patron was primarily due to the acquisitions of Odeon and Nordic where food and beverage revenues per patron in International markets is much lower than in our U.S. markets. Total food and beverage revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $1.7 million and were decreased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $0.5 million related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs® during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Total other theatre revenues increased 70.4%, or $27.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increases from the Odeon, Carmike and Nordic acquisitions. Other theatre revenues include revenues for advertising and theatre rentals.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 72.5%, or $513.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Odeon in November 2016, the acquisition of Carmike in December 2016 and the acquisition of Nordic in March 2017. Film exhibition costs increased 44.4%, or $116.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in admissions revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 49.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 54.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues in our International markets are much lower than in our U.S. markets.

Food and beverage costs increased 82.1%, or $28.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 16.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 14.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to the acquisition of Odeon and Nordic where food and beverage costs as a percentage of food and beverage revenues are much higher in our International markets than in our U.S. markets. The increase in food and beverage costs was primarily due to the increase in food and beverage revenues. Food and beverage gross profit per patron decreased 8.8%, and is calculated as food and beverage revenues less food and beverage costs divided by attendance. The decrease is primarily due to lower gross profit per patron in our International markets.

As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 32.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 26.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Rent expense increased 62.7%, or $77.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily from the increase in the number of theatres operated due to the acquisitions of Odeon, Carmike and Nordic.

Merger, acquisition and transaction costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs were $11.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in professional and consulting costs and increased merger and acquisition activity associated with our Carmike acquisition, Odeon acquisition, and Nordic acquisition. The merger, acquisition and transaction costs are costs and expenses incurred principally at the corporate office in the investigation, negotiation, financing and transition of acquisitions that are not allocated to the acquired company.

Other. Other general and administrative expense increased $25.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, due primarily to the acquisitions of Odeon and Nordic and increases in development costs, salaries and benefits.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $71.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in depreciable assets resulting from the acquisitions of Odeon, Carmike and Nordic, as well as capital expenditures of $318.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $421.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Other Expense (Income):

Other expense. Other expense of $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to third party fees expensed related to the Third Amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $42.9 million to $69.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to issuance of $595.0 million of our 5.875% Notes due 2026 and £250.0 million ($313.4 million) of our 6.375% Sterling Notes due 2024 on November 8, 2016 for the Odeon acquisition, issuance of $500.0 million of new Term loans due 2023 on November 30, 2016, the assumption from Carmike of $230.0 million of 6.0% Notes due 2023 on December 21, 2016 for the Carmike acquisition, issuance of $475.0 million of our 6.125% Notes due 2027 on March 17, 2017, and the issuance of additional £250.0 million ($313.4 million) of our 6.375% Sterling Notes due 2024 on March 17, 2017 for the Nordic acquisition. The interest rate on the new Term Loans due 2023 was 3.47% as of June 30, 2017. We also assumed $222.0 million of capital and financing lease obligations from Carmike, $367.3 million of capital and financing lease obligations from Odeon and $14.1 million of capital and financing lease obligations from Nordic with interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 6.4%.

The decrease in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities of $206.9 million was primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment loss on NCM of $202.6 million, recognition of previously suspended losses from Open Road of $4.1 million, partially offset by an increase in earnings from DCIP of $1.0 million. See “Significant Events—NCM Agreement” above for further information regarding the other-than-temporary impairment loss.

Investment (income) expense. Investment expense was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to investment expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2016 were negatively impacted by the other-than-temporary impairment loss on NCM of $202.6 million, decreases in average ticket price, decreases in food and beverage per patron, and increases in rent, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and general and administrative expense (other and merger, acquisition and transaction costs), partially offset by the increase in attendance related to the Odeon, Carmike and Nordic acquisitions and increase in income tax benefit.

Theatrical Exhibition–U.S. Markets

Revenues. Total revenues increased 19.0% or $144.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Admissions revenues increased 17.7%, or $85.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a 16.2% increase in attendance and a 1.3% increase in average ticket price.

Table of Contents

Total other theatre revenues increased 5.9%, or $2.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increases from the Carmike acquisition for internet ticketing fees and advertising revenues, partially offset by declines in income from exchange tickets due to declines in sales volume and estimated rates of non-presentment and membership fees for AMC Stubs.®

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 28.6%, or $202.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Film exhibition costs increased 13.8%, or $36.1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in admissions revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 52.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 54.7% the three months ended June 30, 2016, due to the popularity of films in the prior year which typically results in higher film rent terms.

Merger, acquisition and transaction costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs were $10.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in professional and consulting costs and increased merger and acquisition activity associated with our Carmike acquisition, Odeon acquisition, and Nordic acquisition. The merger, acquisition and transaction costs are costs and expenses incurred principally at the corporate office in the investigation, negotiation, financing and transition of acquisitions that are not allocated to the acquired company.

The increase in attendance was primarily due to the acquisition of Odeon in November 2016, the acquisition of Carmike in December 2016 and the acquisition of Nordic in March 2017. The decrease in average ticket price was primarily due to the acquisition of Odeon where the average ticket price in our International markets is lower than in our U.S. markets. Total admissions revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals of $1.1 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs® are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of customer rewards.

Food and beverage revenues increased 58.2%, or $284.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in attendance due to the acquisitions, partially offset by a 8.4% decrease in food and beverage revenues per patron. The decrease in food and beverage revenues per patron was primarily due to the acquisitions of Odeon and Nordic where food and beverage revenues per patron in International markets is much lower than in our U.S. markets. Total food and beverage revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $2.0 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Total other theatre revenues increased 69.6%, or $54.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increases from the Odeon, Carmike and Nordic acquisitions.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 73.0%, or $1,032.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Film exhibition costs increased

52.2%, or $274.1 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in admissions revenues as a result of the acquisitions. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 50.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 54.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues in our International markets are much lower than in our U.S. markets.

Food and beverage costs increased 79.0%, or $53.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 15.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 14.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to the acquisition of Odeon and Nordic where food and beverage costs as a percentage of food and beverage revenues are much higher in our International markets than in our U.S. markets. The increase in food and beverage costs was primarily due to the increase in food and beverage revenues. Food and beverage gross profit per patron decreased 10.4%, and is calculated as food and beverage revenues less food and beverage costs divided by attendance. The decrease is primarily due to lower gross profit per patron in our International markets.

As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 30.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Rent expense increased 57.7%, or $142.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily from the increase in the number of theatres operated due to the acquisitions of Odeon, Carmike and Nordic.

Merger, acquisition and transaction costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs were $51.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $10.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to expenses incurred in connection with the DOJ final judgment for the Carmike acquisition, an increase in professional and consulting costs and increased merger and acquisition activity associated with our Carmike, Odeon, and Nordic acquisitions. The merger, acquisition and transaction costs are costs and expenses incurred principally at the corporate office in the investigation, negotiation, financing and transition of acquisitions that are not allocated to the acquired company.

In conjunction with the Carmike acquisition and the DOJ final judgment, we returned 1,807,220 additional NCM common units (valued at $22.6 million) in exchange for a waiver of exclusivity by NCM which resulted in $22.6 million of expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Other. Other general and administrative expense increased $41.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, due primarily to the acquisitions of Odeon and Nordic and increases in development costs, salaries and benefits.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $135.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in depreciable assets resulting from the acquisitions of Odeon, Carmike and Nordic, as well as capital expenditures of $318.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $421.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Other Expense (Income):

Other income. Other income of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to a foreign currency transaction gain of $2.7 million, a $0.4 million recovery for business interruption, offset by $1.0 million of third party fees expensed related to the Third Amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement and a $0.4 million loss on the repayment of the Bridge Loan Facility.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $77.9 million to $132.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $54.1 million the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to issuance of $595.0 million of our 5.875% Notes due 2026 and £250.0 million ($313.4 million) of our 6.375% Sterling Notes due 2024 on November 8, 2016 for the Odeon acquisition, issuance of $500.0 million of new Term loans due 2023 on November 30, 2016, issuance of our 7.0% Bridge Loan due 2017 of $350.0 million on December 21, 2016 (repaid in February 2017), and the assumption from Carmike of $230.0 million of 6.0% Notes due 2023 on December 21, 2016 for the Carmike acquisition, issuance of $475.0 million of our 6.125% Notes due 2027 on March 17, 2017, and the issuance of additional £250.0 million ($313.4 million) of our 6.375% Sterling Notes due 2024 on March 17, 2017 for the Nordic acquisition. The interest rate on the new Term Loans due 2023 was 3.47% as of June 30, 2017. We also assumed $222.0 million of

capital and financing lease obligations from Carmike, $367.3 million of capital and financing lease obligations from Odeon, and $14.1 million of capital and financing lease obligations from Nordic with interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 6.4%.

Equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities. Equity in losses of non-consolidated entities were $197.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to equity earnings of $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities of $213.4 million was primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment loss on NCM of $204.5 million, a decrease in earnings from NCM, LLC of $2.6 million, and an increase in losses from Open Road Films of $8.9 million, partially offset by an increase in earnings from DCIP of $2.6 million. See “Significant Events—NCM Agreement” above for further information regarding the other-than-temporary impairment loss.

Investment income. Investment income was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to investment income of $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Income tax provision (benefit). The income tax benefit was $118.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and income tax provision was $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. See Note 6—Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.

Net earnings (loss). Net loss was $168.1 million and net earnings was $52.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by the other-than-temporary impairment loss on NCM of $204.5 million, decreases in average ticket price, food and beverage per patron, and increases in rent, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and general and administrative expense (other and merger, acquisition and transaction costs), partially offset by the increase in attendance related to the Odeon, Carmike and Nordic acquisitions and increase in income tax benefit.

The increase in attendance was primarily due to the acquisition of Carmike in December 2016. Total admissions revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals of $1.1 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs® are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of customer rewards.

Total other theatre revenues increased 13.2%, or $10.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increases from the Carmike acquisition for internet ticketing fees and advertising revenues, partially offset by a decline in membership fees for AMC Stubs® and declines in income from exchange tickets due to declines in sales volume and estimated non-presentment rates.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 32.5%, or $458.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Film exhibition costs increased 21.2%, or $111.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office 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 from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office 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.

We had working capital deficit (excluding restricted cash) as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of $530.8 million and $505.6 million, respectively. Working capital included $292.8 million and $277.2 million of deferred revenues and income as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We have the ability to borrow under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments). As of June 30, 2017, we had $162.1 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under our revolving Senior Secured Credit Facility.

We believe that cash generated from operations and existing cash and equivalents, and “float”, will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures currently and for at least the next 12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with all debt covenants.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $109.8 million and $134.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in payments for working capital items, partially offset by operating cash flows from Odeon and Carmike and collection of receivables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $882.0 million and $128.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include the acquisition of Nordic, net of cash, of $584.4 million and capital expenditures of $318.0 million and $140.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of strategic growth initiatives and remodels, capital improvements to existing locations in our theatre circuit, and technology upgrades. We expect that our gross cash outflows for capital expenditures will be approximately $600.0 million to $670.0 million for 2017, before giving effect to expected landlord contributions of approximately $100.0 million to $120.0 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 we received proceeds from divestitures of $25.1 million for the sale of theatres as required by the Department of Justice related to the Carmike acquisition, $4.0 million for the sale of an aircraft acquired with the Carmike acquisition, $2.9 million for the sale of administrative buildings acquired with the Carmike acquisition, partially offset by disbursements of $11.0 million for the sale of one theatre acquired with the Odeon acquisition as required by the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we received proceeds from the sale of our shares in RealD Inc. of $13.5 million and proceeds from the sale of two Starplex divestiture theatres of $5.4 million.

We fund the costs of constructing, maintaining and remodeling our theatres through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, landlord contributions, or borrowed funds, 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 may decide to own the real estate assets of new or acquired theatres and, following construction or acquisition, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases. See Commitments and Contingencies below for additional discussion of the potential cash outflows and future sources of liquidity.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $681.2 million and $(123.8) million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

On or prior to November 15, 2019, we may redeem the Sterling Notes due 2024 at par, including accrued and unpaid interest plus a make-whole premium. We used the net proceeds from the Sterling Notes due 2024 private offering to pay the consideration for the acquisition of Nordic plus related refinancing of Nordic debt assumed in the acquisition.

On March 28, 2017, we paid the Nordic SEK Term Loan of $144.4 million and we paid the Nordic EUR Term Loan of $169.5 million aggregate principal amount in connection with the acquisition of Nordic using proceeds from our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 and Sterling Notes due 2024.

In February 2017, we completed an additional public offering of 20,330,874 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $31.50 per share ($640.4 million), resulting in net proceeds of $616.8 million after underwriters commission. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loan of $350.0 million.

On February 14, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, paid on March 27, 2017 to stockholders of record on March 13, 2017. On April 27, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, paid on June 19, 2017 to stockholders of record on June 5, 2017. We paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $26.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $19.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. We paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $52.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $39.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

On August 3, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, payable on September 25, 2017 to stockholders of record on September 11, 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, we had $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and $12.9 million in outstanding standby letters of credit in the ordinary course of business.

Investment in NCM LLC

We hold an investment of 24.7% (37,992,630 common units) in NCM LLC and 200,000 shares of NCM, Inc. accounted for under the equity method as of June 30, 2017. The estimated fair market value of our investment in NCM LLC and NCM, Inc. was approximately $283.5 million, based upon the publicly quoted price per share of NCM, Inc. on June 30, 2017 of $7.42 per share. We have little tax basis in these units, therefore the sale of all these units at June 30, 2017 would require us to report taxable income of approximately $380.2 million, including distributions received from NCM LLC that were previously deferred. We expect that any sales we may make of NCM LLC units would be made in such a manner to most efficiently manage any related tax liability. We have available net operating loss carryforwards which could reduce a portion of any related tax liability. We have classified 14.9 million (approximately $110.5 million) NCM common units as held for sale as of June 30, 2017 which we must sell or otherwise dispose of before December 20, 2017 to reach the 15% ownership level discussed in the Department of Justice Final Judgment. See Note 3 – Investments in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our divestiture requirement for NCM.

Commitments and Contingencies

We have commitments and contingencies for capital and financing leases, corporate borrowings, operating leases, capital related betterments and pension funding that were summarized in a table in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Since December 31, 2016, there have been no material changes to the commitments and contingencies of the Company outside the ordinary course of business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate market risk and foreign currency exchange risk.

Market risk on variable‑rate financial instruments. At June 30, 2017, we maintained a Senior Secured Credit Facility comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility and $867.4 million of Senior Secured Term Loans due 2022 and $500.0 million of Senior Secured Term Loans due 2023. The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR + 2.25%. The rate in effect at June 30, 2017 for the outstanding Senior Secured Term Loans due 2022 and 2023 was 3.46% and 3.47% based on LIBOR (2.25% margin plus 0% minimum LIBOR rate) per annum, respectively. 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. At June 30, 2017, we had $50.0 million variable-rate borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had an aggregate principal balance of $1,366.2 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Term Loan due 2022 and Senior Secured Term Loans due 2023. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facility by $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in long-term corporate borrowings at June 30, 2017 were principal amounts of $230.0 million of our Senior Secured Notes due 2023, $600.0 million of our Notes due 2025, $375.0 million of our Notes due 2022, $595.0 million of our Notes due 2026, $475.0 million of our Notes due 2027, and £500.0 million of our Sterling Notes due 2024. Increases in market interest rates would generally cause a decrease in the fair value of the Notes due 2023, Notes due 2025, Notes due 2022, Notes due 2026, Notes due 2027 and Sterling Notes due 2024 and a decrease in market interest rates would generally cause an increase in fair value of the Notes due 2023, Notes due 2025, Notes due 2022, Notes due 2026, Notes due 2027, and Sterling Notes due 2024.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk. We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our ownership of Odeon and Nordic. Odeon’s revenues and operating expenses are transacted in British Pounds and Euros, and Nordic’s revenues and operating expenses are transacted primarily in Swedish Krona and Euros. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If Odeon and Nordic operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP requires that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency for Odeon and Nordic. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon our ownership in Odeon and Nordic as of June 30, 2017, holding everything else constant, a 10% immediate, simultaneous, unfavorable change in all of the foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed, would increase the aggregate net loss of our International markets segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 by approximately $2.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

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.
