PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the world, today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $744.4 million compared to $799.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, admissions revenues were $456.1 million and concession revenues were $253.6 million. Concession revenues per patron increased 2.7% to $3.47 and average ticket price was $6.25 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $168.4 million compared to $194.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.

Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $53.9 million compared to $70.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.46 compared to $0.61 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

“While our industry faced a challenging second quarter box office hurdle, given last year’s all-time record-setting benchmark, we are pleased that our continued execution on our key initiatives yet again enabled Cinemark to outperform the industry. Our U.S. segment surpassed the North American industry’s box office by 120 basis points in the second quarter, marking 27 out of the past 30 quarters of outperformance. Furthermore, our international segment continues to demonstrate recession-resistant strength, having attracted a consistent number of patrons despite last year’s all-time high, as well as the economic and political challenges that exist across Latin America,” stated Mark Zoradi, Cinemark’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Zoradi continued, “Year-to-date industry box office has increased more than 3% through July, which has surpassed everyone's expectations, and we remain enthusiastic about the film content for the remainder of this year, as well as coming years, and how it will appeal to our patrons.”

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased to $1,449.3 million from $1,445.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, admissions revenues were $891.9 million and concession revenues increased 3.7% to $491.4 million. Attendance increased 2.3% to 145.5 million patrons. Concession revenues per patron increased 1.5% to $3.38 and average ticket price was $6.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 1.2% to $353.0 million, compared to $348.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.

Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $112.4 million compared to $112.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by a loss on debt amendments and refinancing of $13.3 million, which was primarily due to the refinancing of the Company’s 7.375% senior subordinated notes with an add-on to the Company’s 4.875% senior notes. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2015 at $0.97, even with the aforementioned loss on debt amendments and refinancing.

On June 30, 2016, the Company’s aggregate screen count was 5,888. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had signed commitments to open nine new theatres and 69 screens by the end of 2016 and open 12 new theatres with 109 screens subsequent to 2016.

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. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
(2) Represents cash distributions received from equity investees that were recorded as a reduction of the respective investment balances. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 has been adjusted to reflect a comparable presentation.
(3) Non-cash expense included in facility lease expense.
(4) Non-cash expense included in other theatre operating expenses.
(5) Non-cash expense included in general and administrative expenses.
