NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“Multi-Cinema”) and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “AMC”), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates, or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Europe. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10–Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Liquidity. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations currently and through the next twelve months. The Company’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows from operating activities and long-term profitability, the Company believes that revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows from operating activities, it is difficult to estimate the Company’s future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve increased levels of revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.

There can be no assurance that the revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet the Company’s obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, the availability of authorized share capital, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for a summary of debt transactions that

occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company has bolstered its liquidity through sales of its Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), see Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit for further information on these sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. markets and International markets were $362.7 million and $61.0 million, respectively, and as of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $513.0 million and $119.3 million, respectively.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash held in the Company’s bank accounts as a guarantee for certain landlords and cash collateralized letters of credit relating to the Company’s insurance and utilities programs. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
