​

​

Fourth Quarter 2025 Summary Results:

Full Year 2025 Summary Results:

​

Commenting on the 2025 results, AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron said, “2025 marked another important step forward for AMC. The North American box office improved modestly year‑over‑year, rising approximately 1.5%, while AMC once again outperformed, growing total revenue by 4.6% and Adjusted EBITDA by nearly 13% compared to 2024. This outperformance reflects our relentless focus on operating improvements and portfolio optimization and further demonstrates our leadership in the guest experience through world‑class marketing and loyalty programs, innovative food and beverage variety, and best‑in‑class premium large‑format offerings.”

Aron added, “AMC finished 2025 with all‑time per‑patron records in admissions revenue, food and beverage revenue, and total revenue, for both the fourth quarter and the full year. Our commitment to operating efficiency was also evident as we delivered a record‑setting contribution margin per patron for both the fourth quarter and full year. These achievements underscore what we’ve long believed: AMC is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on a recovering box office. And as I have said many times before, the not-so-secret formula to a full box‑office recovery is straight forward, we need more great movies from our studio partners.”

​

​

Aron concluded, “Looking ahead, our studio partners are poised to deliver on their commitment to release more titles in 2026 and beyond, and this makes us increasingly optimistic. Encouragingly, the January North American box office was approximately 16% ahead of the same period last year, and the European box office growth has been even more significant. With a movie slate including such titles as SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, MOANA, DUNE: PART THREE, and THE ODYSSEY, we anticipate significant industry growth in the remainder of the year, and we believe AMC is well positioned to capture this growth and thrive with our unrivaled theatre footprint, industry leading premium formats, engaging loyalty programs, and exclusive concessions and merchandise offerings.”

Forward-Looking Statements

​

This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “indicates,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements the Company makes regarding impacts of the industry box office in North America and European industry attendance, the Company’s expected revenue, net loss, capital expenditures, diluted loss per share, Adjusted EBITDA and estimated cash and cash equivalents, the potential for sustained growth, the Company’s cash generation potential, the potential for further debt equitization, the ability to achieve the Company’s AMC Go Plan, the Company’s financial runway and the continued box office recovery as well as the future box office outlook, including with respect to the full year 2026. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. These forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements related to AMC’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources and are based on information available at the time the statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks, trends, uncertainties and other facts that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks, trends, uncertainties and facts include, but are not limited to: the sufficiency of AMC’s existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity; AMC’s ability to obtain additional liquidity, which if not realized or insufficient to generate the material amounts of additional liquidity that will be required unless it is able to achieve more normalized levels of operating revenues, likely would result with AMC seeking an in-court or out-of-court restructuring of its liabilities; the effectiveness of the refinancing transactions completed in the third quarter of 2025 and the ability to further equitize existing debt; increased use of alternative film delivery methods or other forms of entertainment; the continued recovery of the North American and international box office; AMC’s significant indebtedness, including its ability to meet its covenants and limitations on AMC's ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities imposed by such covenants; shrinking exclusive theatrical release windows; the seasonality of AMC’s revenue and working capital; intense competition in the geographic areas in which AMC operates; risks relating to impairment losses, including with respect to goodwill and other intangibles, and theatre and other closure charges; motion picture production, promotion, marketing, and performance including labor stoppages affecting the production, supply and release schedule of theatrical motion picture content and choice of distributors to release fewer feature-length films as a result of the additional financial burden imposed by tariffs; the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology in the filmmaking process and audience acceptance of movies made utilizing AI technology; general and international economic, political, regulatory and other risks, including but not limited to rising interest rates; AMC’s lack of control over distributors of films; limitations on the availability of capital, including on the authorized number of AMC common stock; dilution of voting power caused by recent sales of AMC common stock and through the issuance of AMC common stock underlying Muvico’s exchangeable notes and the issuance of preferred stock; AMC’s ability to achieve expected synergies, benefits and performance from its strategic initiatives; AMC’s ability to refinance its indebtedness on favorable terms; AMC’s ability to optimize its theatre circuit; AMC’s ability to recognize interest deduction carryforwards, net operating loss carryforwards, and other tax attributes to reduce future tax liability; supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, increased cost and inflation; and other factors discussed in the reports AMC has filed with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks, trends, uncertainties, or facts materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Accordingly, the Company cautions you against relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

​

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved.
