Executive summary
Record Q3 revenue was $440.2M; adjusted EBITDAaL more than doubled to $70.7M, adjusted free cash flow reached $52.9M and net income from continuing operations was $23.8M.
Strong operating performance brought simple leverage to 2.9x, within the 2.5x–3.0x target range; the Board’s Strategic Review of value-enhancing alternatives is ongoing.
Financial highlights
Q3 revenue rose 26.2% to $440.2M from $348.9M; 9M revenue increased 17.4% to $1,114.9M.
Net income from continuing operations was $23.8M versus $1.4M; Q3 basic and diluted EPS were $0.38 and $0.34, respectively, versus $0.02 each.
Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $57.1M versus $26.8M; adjusted free cash flow rose 241.3% to $52.9M from $15.5M.
Adjusted EBITDAaL increased 112.2% to $70.7M; margin rose to 16.1% from 9.6%.
G&A was $22M, up 8.8% YoY; incremental LTIP expense and lower prior-year incentive accruals accounted for $1.5M of the $1.8M increase.
Outlook and guidance
FY capital expenditure guidance remains $50M; management expects further year-end deleveraging and improved capital-allocation flexibility in 2027.
North American box office forecasts exceed $10B for 2026, the first time above that level since 2019; October box office revenue rose 42% YoY.
The 2027 slate is expected to have releases in every quarter, with strong Q4 2026 carryover into Q1; consistent theatrical windows are seen supporting stability into 2028.
Q4 media revenue faces advertiser budgets shifted to H1, tariff-related uncertainty and a tough comparison with prior-year pharmaceutical spending; management sees opportunity into 2027.
Growth priorities include attendance and frequency, loyalty marketing, CineClub, digital sales, premium experiences, media growth and operating efficiencies.
