Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Total revenue increased 33% year-over-year to $611M on stronger than expected box office performance, resulting in positive operating cash flow

Redeemed $100M of 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due May 2025, reflecting our improved financial stability and positive outlook

Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the world, today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

“We remain highly encouraged about our industry’s ongoing recovery based on positive sustained momentum in movie-going trends, an accelerating improvement in film volume, and better than expected box office performance year-to-date,” stated Sean Gamble, President & CEO. “Consumers continue to demonstrate their avid desire to experience movies, and all forms of content, in a shared, larger-than-life, cinematic setting, and our studio partners are collectively reinforcing that there is simply no better way to amplify excitement, interest, cultural relevance, and financial value for their films than with a full-blown exclusive theatrical release.”

Mr. Gamble continued, “Our positive outlook for our industry also holds true for Cinemark, and our strong first quarter results reflect the significant impact we are deriving from our industry’s rebound, combined with our varied strategic actions to maximize attendance and box office, drive overall top-line growth, and improve our productivity, while delivering a top-notch experience for our guests.”

Earnings Highlights

  • We entertained 43 million movie-goers across our global circuit during the first quarter, which was up 30% year-over-year.
  • Our first quarter box office results outpaced industry recovery by more than 700 basis points compared to the first quarter 2019.
  • Cinemark continues to be the only major U.S. exhibitor to have achieved and maintained a meaningful increase in market share since reopening, which remains up approximately 100 basis points compared to our pre-pandemic average.
  • The volume of wide-release theatrical films in the first quarter increased more than 25% year-over-year, and 2023 full year volume is tracking better than expected with 110 wide-release theatrical films now dated.
  • We redeemed $100M of our 8.75% Senior Secured Notes on May 1, 2023 using cash on-hand, underscoring the health of our company, as well as our positive outlook regarding the future of theatrical exhibition.

Constant currency amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding month for 2022. We translate the results of our international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance that excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and other items, as calculated below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income 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 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 liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt.  In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.  A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below.
