EXPLANATORY NOTE

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”), is filing this Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 after the May 11, 2020 deadline in reliance on the 45-day extension provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act” Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) due to the circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has created substantial disruption in the Company’s operations including the suspension of all theatre operations worldwide resulting in the cessation of essentially all revenues. As a result, all corporate-level employees have been either fully or partially furloughed, significantly limiting the resources available to prepare the Form 10-Q. Furthermore, to the extent corporate-level employees continue to work, they are working from home which has decreased efficiency in fulfilling the tasks necessary to complete the Form 10-Q. Due to these operational challenges, the Company could not file this Form 10-Q within the time period specified under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the requirements of the Order, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 29, 2020 indicating its intention to rely upon the Order with respect to the filing of this Form 10-Q which is being filed within the 45-day extension period provided by the Order.

AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2020

(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 March 31, 2020, Wanda owned approximately 49.63% of Holdings’ outstanding common stock and 74.72% 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 transactions.

Temporarily Suspended Operations. As of or before March 17, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended all theatre operations in its U.S. markets and International markets in compliance with local, state, and federal governmental restrictions and recommendations on social gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and as a precaution to help ensure the health and safety of the Company’s guests and theatre staff. As a result of these temporarily suspended operations, the Company’s revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are significantly lower than the revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company will continue to monitor this situation closely and remain flexible on reopening its theatres in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and governmental directives.

Liquidity. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken and is continuing to take significant steps to preserve cash by eliminating non-essential costs, including reductions to executive compensation and elements of its fixed cost structure:

Suspended non-essential operating expenditures, including marketing & promotional and travel and entertainment expenses; and where possible, for example: utilities, reduced essential operating expenditures to minimum levels necessary while theatres are closed.
Terminated or deferred all non-essential capital expenditures to minimum levels necessary while theatres are closed.
Implemented measures to reduce corporate-level employment costs, including full or partial furloughs of all corporate-level Company employees, including senior executives, with individual work load and salary reductions ranging from 20% to 100%; cancellation of pending annual merit pay increases; and elimination or reduction of non-healthcare benefits.
All domestic theatre-level crew members have been fully furloughed and theatre-level management has been reduced to the minimum level necessary to begin resumption of operations when permitted. Similar efforts to reduce theatre-level and corporate employment costs are being undertaken internationally consistent with applicable laws across the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Working with the Company’s landlords, vendors, and other business partners to manage, defer, and/or abate the related rent expenses and operating expenses during the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Introduced an active cash management process, which, among other things, requires senior management approval of all outgoing payments.
The Company does not expect to continue dividend payments which, when considered in tandem with the dividend decrease of $0.17 per share paid in the first quarter of 2020 when compared to the dividend payments made in the first quarter of 2019, results in aggregate quarterly cash savings of $17.5 million.
The Company does not expect to make purchases under its recently authorized stock repurchase program for the duration of 2020.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed

7

into law. The CARES Act provides opportunities for additional liquidity, loan guarantees, and other government programs to support companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and their employees. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of the CARES Act, the Company expects to recognize the following benefits:

Approximately $18.5 million of cash tax refunds from overpayments and refundable alternative minimum tax credits with the filing of the Company’s 2019 federal tax return, amending 2018 state tax returns and filing 2019 state tax returns in which the Company expects a refund.
Deferral of social security payroll tax matches that would otherwise be required in 2020.
Receipt of a payroll tax credit in 2020 for expenses related to paying wages and health benefits to employees who are not working as a result of temporarily suspended operations and reduced receipts associated with COVID-19.

The Company intends to seek any available potential benefits under the CARES Act, including loans, investments or guarantees, and any other such current or future government programs for which the Company qualifies domestically and internationally, including those described above. The Company cannot predict the manner in which such benefits will be allocated or administered, and the Company cannot assure the reader that it will be able to access such benefits in a timely manner or at all.

The Company believes its cash balance as of March 31, 2020 was sufficient to withstand a global suspension of operations until a partial reopening in July 2020. After giving effect to the proceeds of $500.0 million received from the issuance of the 10.5% first lien notes due 2025 (the “First Lien Notes due 2025”) on April 24, 2020, existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations upon reopening, the Company may have sufficient liquidity to fund operations and essential capital expenditures for the next 12 months. Further, as discussed in Note 14—Subsequent Events, the Company’s lenders have granted relief from the maintenance covenants in the revolving credit agreements and the Company believes it will maintain compliance with all financial debt covenants for the next 12 months. Therefore, the Company believes it has the cash resources to reopen its theatres and resume operations this summer or later. The Company’s liquidity needs thereafter will depend, among other things, on the timing of a full resumption of operations, the timing of movie releases and its ability to generate revenues.

While the Company has used its best estimates based on currently available information, the Company cannot assure the reader that its assumptions used to estimate its liquidity requirements will be correctincluding but not limited to attendance, food and beverage revenues, rent relief, cost savings, and capital expendituresbecause the Company has never previously experienced a complete cessation of its operations, and as a consequence, its ability to be predictive is uncertain. If the Company does not recommence operations within its estimated timeline, the Company will require additional capital and may also require additional financing if, for example, its operations do not generate the expected revenues or a recurrence of COVID-19 were to cause another suspension of operations. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Due to these factors, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMC, 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, 2019. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed 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 interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders’ equity, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business and the suspension of operations at all the Company’s theatres due to the COVID-19 pandemic, results for the three months

8

ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets.

The Company evaluates definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $81.4 million on 57 theatres in the U.S. markets with 658 screens (in Alabama, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming) and $9.9 million on 23 theatres in the International markets with 213 screens (in Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and Sweden). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company

9

recorded impairment losses related to definite-lived intangible assets of $8.0 million. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $7.2 million within investment expense (income), related to equity interest investments without a readily determinable fair value accounted for under the cost method.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company performed a quantitative impairment evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the AMC, Odeon and Nordic tradenames and recorded impairment charges of $5.9 million related to Odeon tradenames and $2.4 million related to Nordic tradenames during the three months ended March 31, 2020. To estimate fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names, the Company employed a derivation of the Income Approach known as the Royalty Savings.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which provides new guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance impacts how the Company determines its allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables and also contingent lease guarantees, where the Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under certain leases of theatres that it previously divested, in the event that such assignees are unable to fulfill their future lease payment obligations. ASU 2016-13 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. The Company recognized the cumulative effect upon adoption of the new standard related to credit losses for contingent lease guarantees of $16.9 million. See Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding contingent lease guarantees. The adoption impact on the Company’s allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables was immaterial as of January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020. The cumulative effect of adoption was recorded to accumulated deficit under the modified retrospective adoption method.

Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. Entities are no longer required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant observable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASU 2018-13 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. See Note 9—Fair Value Measurements for the required disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements.

Cloud Computing Arrangement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation, setup, and other upfront costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. ASU 2018-15 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively in accordance with ASC 250-10-45. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively and the adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to improve consistency and simplify several areas of existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis for goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

10

NOTE 2—LEASES

The Company leases theatres and equipment under operating and finance leases. The Company typically does not believe that exercise of the renewal options is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index and other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement. Equipment leases primarily consist of digital projectors and food and beverage equipment.

The following table reflects the lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

The Company evaluates goodwill recorded at the Company’s two reporting units (Domestic Theatres and International Theatres) for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter and any time an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value for a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The impairment test for goodwill involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as goodwill impairment charge, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

A decline in the common stock price and prices of the Company’s corporate borrowings and the resulting impact on market capitalization are two of several factors considered when making this evaluation. Based on sustained declines during 2020 in the Company’s enterprise market capitalization and the temporary suspension of operations at all the Company’s theatres on or before March 17, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed a Step 1 quantitative goodwill impairment test of the Domestic and International reporting units as of March 31, 2020.

In performing the Step 1 quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020, the Company used an enterprise value approach to measure fair value of the reporting units. See Note 9Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodology. The enterprise fair values of the Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units were less than their carrying values and goodwill impairment charges of $1,124.9 million and $619.4 million was recorded as of March 31, 2020 for the Company’s Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units, respectively.

On September 14, 2018, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.95% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2024 (the "Convertible Notes due 2024"). The Convertible Notes due 2024 mature on September 15, 2024, subject to earlier conversion by the holders thereof, repurchase by the Company at the option of the holders or redemption by the Company upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, as discussed below. Upon maturity, the $600.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2024 will be payable in cash.

The Company bifurcated the conversion feature from the principal balance of the Convertible Notes due 2024 as a derivative liability because (1) a conversion feature is not clearly and closely related to the debt instrument and the reset of the conversion price discussed in the following paragraph causes the conversion feature to not be considered indexed to the Company’s equity, (2) the conversion feature standing alone meets the definition of a derivative, and (3) the Convertible Notes due 2024 are not remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The initial derivative liability of $90.4 million is offset by a discount to the principal balance and is amortized to interest expense resulting in an effective rate of 5.98% over the term of the Convertible Notes due 2024. The Company also recorded debt issuance costs of approximately $13.6 million related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2024 and will amortize those costs to interest expense under the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Notes due 2024. The Company recorded interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 of $8.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

16

The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as other expense or income. See Note 9Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodology. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, this resulted in other expense (income) of $(0.5) million and $13.3 million, respectively. The if-converted value of the Convertible Notes
