President and Chief Executive Officer, Ellen Cotter mentioned, “Our third quarter 2022 global revenue grew 61% year-over-year to $51.2 million, demonstrating our operational progress in a post-COVID environment. This progress occurred despite the headwinds of a soft Hollywood movie slate in August and September and, with respect to our Australian and New Zealand operations, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar that has impacted U.S. based multi-nationals in general. Despite the lackluster film slate over the last few months, we know our global audiences are excited about the upcoming holiday theatrical movie season to be led by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: Way of the Water, two of Hollywood’s strongest franchises.”

Ms. Cotter continued, “During the third quarter, we are pleased to have resolved the arbitration regarding an Agreement to Lease of one of our properties in Wellington New Zealand to a supermarket, with both parties agreeing that such contract had been terminated and each party bearing its own costs. This settlement provides us with the flexibility necessary to create the most strategic masterplan for our properties and to re-establish our assets as the key Wellington destination for film, families, and fun. Located in the creative heart of the cultural capital, our Wellington assets are poised to benefit from the recent re-launch of the iconic St. James Theater and the mid-2023 opening of Takina, the city’s new state-of-the-art convention and exhibition center. Both of these dynamic venues are directly across the street from our Reading properties.”

“We further advanced our long-term real estate strategy in the United States with the substantial completion in October of the landlord’s work related to the cellar, ground and second floor retail space of our 44 Union Square property. This space has now been turned over to our new international retail tenant for the construction of tenant improvements for its New York City flagship store. Also, in New York City, Audible, an Amazon company, extended their annual license of the Minetta Lane Theatre through the first quarter of 2024.”

Ms. Cotter concluded, “Our ‘two business/three country’ diversified business structure, together with our dedicated global executive and employee team, will continue to serve as the foundation for both our recovery from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the evolving complex macroeconomic environment. As we look ahead to the last quarter of the year, we remain focused on leveraging our strategic adaptability, capitalizing on pent up industry demand, and delivering value for stockholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Earnings Release presents complete section working revenue (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, that are necessary monetary measures for our Company, however will not be monetary measures outlined by U.S. GAAP.

These measures needs to be reviewed at the side of the related U.S. GAAP monetary measures and will not be introduced as different measures of earnings (loss) per share, money flows or internet revenue (loss) as decided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Total section working revenue (loss) and EBITDA, as we’ve got calculated them, is probably not similar to equally titled measures reported by different corporations.

Total section working revenue (loss) – we consider the efficiency of our business segments primarily based on section working revenue (loss), and administration makes use of complete section working revenue (loss) as a measure of the efficiency of working companies separate from non-operating components. We imagine that details about complete section working revenue (loss) assists buyers by permitting them to guage adjustments within the working outcomes of our Company’s business separate from non-operational components that have an effect on internet revenue (loss), thus offering separate perception into each operations and the opposite components that have an effect on reported outcomes.
EBITDA – We use EBITDA within the analysis of our Company’s efficiency since we imagine that EBITDA gives a helpful measure of monetary efficiency and worth. We imagine this principally for the next causes:

We imagine that EBITDA is an accepted industry-wide comparative measure of monetary efficiency. It is, in our expertise, a measure generally adopted by analysts and monetary commentators who report upon the cinema exhibition and actual property industries, and it’s also a measure utilized by monetary establishments in underwriting the creditworthiness of corporations in these industries. Accordingly, our administration screens this calculation as a way of judging our efficiency in opposition to our friends, market expectations, and our creditworthiness. It is broadly accepted that analysts, monetary commentators, and individuals energetic within the cinema exhibition and actual property industries sometimes worth enterprises engaged in these companies at numerous multiples of EBITDA. Accordingly, we discover EBITDA priceless as an indicator of the underlying worth of our companies. We anticipate that buyers might use EBITDA to evaluate our capability to generate money, as a foundation of comparability to different corporations engaged within the cinema exhibition and actual property companies and as a foundation to worth our firm in opposition to such different corporations.

EBITDA shouldn’t be a measurement of monetary efficiency beneath typically accepted accounting rules within the United States of America and it shouldn’t be thought-about in isolation or construed as an alternative choice to internet revenue (loss) or different operations information or money stream information ready in accordance with typically accepted accounting rules within the United States for functions of analyzing our profitability. The exclusion of assorted parts, comparable to curiosity, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, limits the usefulness of those measures when assessing our monetary efficiency, as not all funds depicted by EBITDA can be found for administration’s discretionary use. For instance, a considerable portion of such funds could also be topic to contractual restrictions and practical necessities to service debt, to fund needed capital expenditures, and to satisfy different commitments every so often.

EBITDA additionally fails to take note of the price of curiosity and taxes. Interest is clearly an actual price that for us is paid periodically as accrued. Taxes might or is probably not a present money merchandise however are however actual prices that, in most conditions, should finally be paid. An organization that realizes taxable earnings in excessive tax jurisdictions might, in the end, be much less priceless than an organization that realizes the identical quantity of taxable earnings in a low tax jurisdiction. EBITDA fails to take note of the price of depreciation and amortization and the truth that property will finally put on out and have to get replaced.

Adjusted EBITDA – utilizing the rules we constantly apply to find out our EBITDA, we additional adjusted the EBITDA for sure gadgets we imagine to be exterior to our core business and never reflective of our prices of doing business or outcomes of operation. Specifically, we’ve got adjusted for (i) authorized bills referring to extraordinary litigation, and (ii) some other gadgets that may be thought-about non-recurring in accordance with the two-year SEC requirement for figuring out an merchandise is non-recurring, rare or uncommon in nature.
