AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
(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. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its business under
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, 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 presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Reverse Stock Split. On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of
share of Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to -tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding.Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures for periods prior to August 24, 2023, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have also been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. On August 25, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units converted into shares of Common Stock.
Liquidity. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations currently and through the next twelve months. As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The financial covenants and related covenant suspension conditions are no longer in effect pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not otherwise affect the senior secured term loan facility under the Credit Agreement. The Company currently does not expect to replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has entered into a new letter of credit facility in order to continue to provide letters of
8
credit in the ordinary course of business following the termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, the Company believes that revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately
There can be no assurance that the revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles. Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike that occurred during 2023 had a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s liquidity and cash burn rates. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet the Company’s obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive. See Note 13—Subsequent Events for more information about various debt refinancing transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024.
The below table summarizes the various debt for equity exchange transactions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The transactions were treated as early extinguishment of the debt. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-3, the reacquisition price of the extinguished debt was determined to be the fair value of the Common Stock exchanged. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit.

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 certain at the lease commencement 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 or 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 sight and sound and food and beverage equipment.
The following table reflects the lease costs for the periods presented:
