(1)For information regarding the income tax provision, see Note 7—Income Taxes.
(2)Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens, disposition of assets, and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. The Company has excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature or related to theatres that are not open.
(3)Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV, LLC (“AC JV”) of $(2.4) million. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV of $(0.8) million.
(4)Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain International markets. See below for a reconciliation of the Company’s equity in (earnings) of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where the Company holds a significant market share, the Company believes attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments.
