CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2007
Plano, TX, August 13, 2007 — Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), a leading motion picture exhibitor, today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 49.1% to $440.0 million from $295.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Admissions revenues increased 54.8% and concession revenues increased 50.6%. The increases were primarily related to a 24.1% increase in attendance; a 25.1% increase in average ticket prices; and a 21.5% increase in concession revenues per patron, all of which were favorably impacted by the acquisition of Century Theatres, Inc. that occurred on October 5, 2006.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 38.9% to $95.7 million from $68.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $47.9 million compared to net income of $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
“During the second quarter our solid performance was driven by the strength of a few summer blockbuster films, the performance of our international theatres, and the integration of the Century acquisition,” stated Alan Stock, Cinemark’s Chief Executive Officer. “I believe the outlook for Cinemark is positive with a good slate of movies for the remainder of the year and a robust new theatre development pipeline. In addition, we have opened our first fully digital theatre which will allow us to test the new technology and position ourselves even better for long term profitable growth.”
Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 51.2% to $818.1 million from $541.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Admissions revenues increased 56.6% and concession revenues increased 49.1%. The increases were primarily related to a 25.8% increase in attendance; a 24.8% increase in average ticket prices; and an 18.6% increase in concession revenues per patron, all of which were favorably impacted by the acquisition of Century Theatres, Inc. that occurred on October 5, 2006.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 48.4% to $175.8 million from $118.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $166.1 million compared to net income of $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 benefited from a $129.6 million after tax gain on the National CineMedia IPO, but was impacted by non-cash impairment charges of $56.8 million, the majority of which resulted from the Company amending its operating agreement with National CineMedia LLC (NCM). Cinemark records and measures goodwill for impairment purposes at an individual theatre level, rather than aggregated at the corporate level, which can result in more volatile impairment charges.

 


 

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately $332.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 9% senior subordinated notes primarily utilizing the proceeds from the NCM transaction. The Company recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of approximately $8.0 million related to this note repurchase.
On June 30, 2007, the Company’s aggregate screen count was 4,568, with screens in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had signed commitments to open nine new theatres with 121 screens by the end of 2007 and open 12 new theatres with 160 screens subsequent to 2007.

(1)   Includes amortization of debt issue costs and excludes capitalized interest.
 
(2)   Adjusted EBITDA as calculated in the chart above represents net income before income taxes, interest expense, gain on NCM transaction, gain on Fandango transaction, loss on early retirement of debt, other income, termination of profit participation agreement, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, (gain) loss on sale of assets and other, changes in deferred lease expense, amortization of long-term prepaid rents and stock option compensation expense. 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.
 
(3)   Non-cash expense included in facility lease expense.
 
(4)   Non-cash expense included in general and administrative expenses.
