"We are pleased to report another quarter of record results. Our investment in premium-priced offerings including 3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP Cinemas, combined with Hollywood's increased 3D film slate, resulted in record second quarter box office revenues and BPP. Concession revenues and CPP also established new second quarter records," said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex Entertainment. "The strength in the core business offset the challenging media environment with Adjusted EBITDA increasing 6.5% to a second quarter record of $47.3 million and Basic EPS increasing 47.8% to $0.34 compared to the prior year period."
"In other areas of our business, we opened a new 11 screen theatre in Edmonton, Alberta in April, and announced plans to build an eight screen theatre in Sarnia, Ontario to open in 2013. We substantially completed our digital projector conversion and the circuit had 1,320 digital projectors and 492 RealD 3D screens in 125 theatres as at June 30, 2012. We announced the acquisition of four AMC theatres (86 screens) during the quarter and completed the transaction subsequent to the quarter's end. Our SCENE loyalty program continued to grow, reaching 3.7 million members as of June 30, 2012. Our Cineplex app has now been downloaded more than 3.4 million times and remains one of Canada's most popular apps. Our website cineplex.com continues to reach new heights with page views increasing 41.3% to 93.8 million page views and visits increasing 23.3% to 15.7 million during the second quarter."
EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not measures recognized by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and do not have standardized meanings in accordance with such principles. Therefore, EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income, income tax expense, amortization and interest expense net of interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for gains and losses on disposal of assets and the share of income or loss of the Canadian Digital Cinema Partnership ("CDCP"). Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure generally used by Canadian corporations, as an indicator of financial performance and it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow to evaluate performance primarily because of the significant effect certain unusual or non-recurring charges and other items have on EBITDA from period to period. For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and from cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on www.sedar.com.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2012
During the second quarter of 2012, the board of directors of Cineplex (the "Board") announced a monthly dividend increase of 4.7% to $0.1125 per Share ($1.35 on an annual basis) up from $0.1075 per Share ($1.29 on an annual basis) effective with the May 2012 dividend. Also during the second quarter of 2012, Cineplex announced it had agreed to acquire four theatres from AMC Entertainment Inc. The transaction was completed subsequent to the period end. The following describes certain key business initiatives undertaken during the second quarter of 2012 in each of Cineplex's core business areas:
THEATRE EXHIBITION
- Reported record second quarter box office revenues of $156.2 million, a 3.4% increase over the prior year period and 3.2% higher than the previous record set in the second quarter of 2009.
- BPP increased 3.5% from $8.80 in the second quarter of 2011 to $9.11 in the current year period, which is a quarterly BPP record for Cineplex.
- Opened Cineplex Odeon Windermere and VIP Cinemas in Edmonton, Alberta, an 11 screen theatre featuring seven traditional auditoriums, one UltraAVX auditorium and three VIP Cinema auditoriums.
- Announced the construction of an eight screen theatre in Sarnia, Ontario scheduled to open in 2013.
- Launched Cineplex Tuesdays, an enhancement to Cineplex's longstanding tradition of Tuesday ticket price discounts, offering discounts on general admission Tuesday tickets with SCENE members benefiting from an additional 10% off the discounted admission prices on Tuesdays.
- Installed 210 digital projectors and 80 RealD 3D systems during the second quarter of 2012, bringing the circuit totals to 1,320 digital projectors and 492 RealD 3D systems in 125 theatres. As of June 30, 2012, Cineplex's conversion to digital projection is substantially complete.
- Added D-BOX MFX seats to two theatres during the quarter. At June 30, 2012, 16 of Cineplex's theatres offer D-BOX MFX seats.
MERCHANDISING
- Reported record quarterly concession revenues of $80.0 million, a 4.9% increase in concession revenues compared to the prior year period.
- Reported record quarterly CPP of $4.66 during second quarter of 2012, up $0.22 or 5.0% over the second quarter of 2011.
- The second quarter of 2012 represented the first full quarter of operations of Cineplex Starburst Inc. ("CSI"), which was formed on January 31, 2012. CSI supplies and services all of the games in Cineplex's circuit, while also supplying equipment to third party arcades, amusement centres, bowling alleys, amusement parks and theatre circuits, in addition to owning and operating Playdium, a family entertainment centre located in Mississauga, Ontario.
- Opened a new XSCAPE Entertainment Centre at the SilverCity Coquitlam and VIP Cinemas in Coquitlam, British Columbia, bringing the total number of XSCAPE centres in the circuit to five.
MEDIA
- Media revenues decreased 18.9% compared to the strong comparator in the prior year, which was a record second quarter for media revenues. This was due in part to the challenging media environment prevalent during the period.
- Cineplex enjoys strong relationships with a select number of national advertisers. During the quarter the reduction in campaigns from three major categories of these advertisers contributed to the decrease in media revenues period over period.
ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMING
- Continued screening performances of the highly successful Metropolitan Opera series in Cineplex's theatres.

Box office revenues increased $5.1 million, or 3.4%, to $156.2 million during the second quarter of 2012, compared to $151.1 million recorded in the same period in 2011. The increase was due to a 3.5% increase in BPP, from $8.80 in the second quarter of 2011 to $9.11, partially offset by a 0.2% decrease in attendance. This BPP increase was due to premium-priced product (3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP) accounting for 36.0% of box office revenues in the current quarter, up from 27.3% in the prior year period. The increase in the percentage of box office revenues from premium priced product was due to increased installations of UltraAVX, 3D, IMAX and VIP screens since the second quarter of 2011, as well as more product being screened in IMAX and 3D during the current period. The BPP of $9.11 represents a quarterly record for Cineplex, $0.23 higher than the previous record of $8.88 reported in the first quarter of 2010. The top film during the quarter, Marvel's The Avengers, screened in IMAX and 3D, has become the third highest grossing film of all-time.
Cineplex's investment in premium-priced formats over the last four years has positioned it to take advantage of the price premiums offered on these formats, which has contributed to Cineplex's BPP growth in the current period compared to the prior year period. This investment in premium-priced offerings contributed to Cineplex outperforming the Canadian industry during the second quarter.

Box office revenues for the first six months of 2012 were $305.6 million or 8.7% higher than the prior year period. The top five films during the 2012 period accounted for 23.3% of Cineplex's box office revenues during the period, compared to 20.7% in the prior year period. The strong performance of Marvel's The Avengers was the main contributor to the $24.5 million increase in box office revenue during the period. Attendance during the 2012 period also benefited from the first week of January 2012 being a school holiday week in most markets, whereas the same week in 2011 was not.
Cineplex's BPP for the first six months of 2012 increased $0.26, or 3.0%, from $8.66 in 2011 to $8.92 in the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenues from premium-priced product. Premium-priced offerings accounted for 31.6% of Cineplex's box office revenues in the 2012 period, compared to 25.3% in the prior year period. Four of the top five films in the 2012 period were screened in IMAX and three in 3D (2011 - three in IMAX and two in 3D).

Second Quarter
Concession revenues increased 4.9% as compared to the prior year quarter despite the 0.2% decrease in attendance. CPP increased from $4.44 in the second quarter of 2011 to $4.66 in the same period in 2012, a 5.0% increase and a quarterly record for Cineplex, $0.14 higher than the previous quarterly record of $4.52 reported in the fourth quarter of 2011. Cineplex believes a focus on revised concession offerings, its retail branded outlet program and improved product promotion through the expansion of a digital menu board program have all contributed to the higher CPP in the current period compared to the prior year period.
While the 10% SCENE discount and SCENE points issued on concession combo purchases reduce individual transaction values which impacts CPP, Cineplex believes that this program drives incremental visits and concession purchases, resulting in higher overall concession revenues.
Year to Date
Concession revenues increased 11.1% as compared to the prior year period, due to the 5.6% increase in attendance and the 5.0% increase in CPP. CPP increased from $4.36 in the first six months of 2011 to $4.58 in the same period in 2012. This represents the highest CPP Cineplex has recorded through the first six months of a given year.
Other revenues
The following table highlights the movement in media, games and other revenues for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| Other revenues | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||
| 2012 | 2011 | Change | 2012 | 2011 | Change | |||||||
| Media | $ | 18,208 | $ | 22,446 | -18.9 | % | $ | 30,894 | $ | 40,385 | -23.5 | % |

| Total | $ | 27,434 | $ | 31,063 | -11.7 | % | $ | 49,170 | $ | 57,345 | -14.3 | % |
Second Quarter
Other revenues decreased 11.7% from $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 to $27.4 million in the same period in 2012. This decrease was due to lower media revenues, which during the second quarter of 2012 were $18.2 million, down $4.2 million, or 18.9%, when compared to the prior year period. The prior year period is a strong comparator, as it was a second quarter record for media revenues. Declines in Cineplex's media business were due in part to the challenging media environment prevalent during the period. Cineplex enjoys strong relationships with a select number of national advertisers and during the quarter the reduction in campaigns from three major categories of these advertisers contributed to the decrease in media revenues period over period.
The games revenue decrease is due to the formation of CSI on January 31, 2012, with the acquisition by NWS of the gaming business of Starburst Coin Machines Inc. With the creation of the CSI joint venture, revenues from CSI are included in the 'Share of loss (income) of joint ventures' line in the Statements of Operations. The Games revenues for the second quarter of 2011 include the results of NWS for May and June 2011 ($0.4 million). The addition of two new XSCAPE entertainment centres since the second quarter of 2011 partially offset the decrease in games revenue due to the creation of CSI and related movement of CSI results to the joint ventures line of the Statements of Operations. The increase in Other was primarily due to higher auditorium rental and screening revenues.
Year to Date
Other revenues decreased 14.3% from $57.3 million in the first six months of 2011 to $49.2 million during the same period in 2012. Media revenues for the first six months of 2012 decreased $9.5 million, or 23.5%, from the prior year period. Declines in Cineplex's media business were due in part to the challenging media environment prevalent during the period. Cineplex enjoys strong relationships with a select number of national advertisers and during the period the reduction in campaigns from three major categories of these advertisers contributed to the decrease in media revenues period over period.
The increase in games revenue was due to the new XSCAPE entertainment centres added since the second quarter of 2011 as well as the higher attendance in the current year period bringing more games traffic through the theatres. The results of NWS are included in the comparison for May and June 2011 (following its acquisition in May 2011) and for January 2012 (prior to the formation of CSI described above - $0.4 million for both the 2012 and 2011 periods). The increase in the other category is primarily due to higher auditorium rental and screening revenues.
Film cost
The following table highlights the movement in film cost and Film Cost Percentage for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except film cost percentage):
| Film cost | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||||||
| 2012 | 2011 | Change | 2012 | 2011 | Change | |||||||||||
| Film cost | $ | 83,465 | $ | 79,783 | 4.6 | % | $ | 160,172 | $ | 145,327 | 10.2 | % | ||||
| Film cost percentage | 53.4 | % | 52.8 | % | 0.6 | % | 52.4 | % | 51.7 | % | 0.7 | % | ||||
Second Quarter
Film cost varies primarily with box office revenue, and can vary from quarter to quarter based on the relative strength of the titles exhibited during the period. The increase in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year period was due to the increase in box office revenue and the 0.6% increase in film cost percentage. The increase in film cost percentage is primarily due to the settlement rate on certain strong performing titles during the second quarter of 2012 being higher than the average film settlement rate in the 2011 period.
Year to Date
The year to date increase in film cost was due to the 8.7% increase in box office revenues and the 0.7% increase in film cost percentage during the period. The increase in the film cost percentage as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to the settlement rate on certain strong performing titles during the 2012 period being higher than the average settlement rate in the 2011 period.
Cost of concessions
The following table highlights the movement in concession cost and concession cost as a percentage of concession revenues ("concession cost percentage") for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except concession cost percentage and concession margin per patron):
| Cost of concessions | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||||||
| 2012 | 2011 | Change | 2012 | 2011 | Change | |||||||||||
| Concession cost | $ | 16,720 | $ | 16,257 | 2.8 | % | $ | 32,490 | $ | 29,905 | 8.6 | % | ||||
| Concession cost percentage | 20.9 | % | 21.3 | % | -0.4 | % | 20.7 | % | 21.2 | % | -0.5 | % | ||||
| Concession margin per patron | $ | 3.69 | $ | 3.49 | 5.7 | % | $ | 3.63 | $ | 3.44 | 5.5 | % | ||||
Second Quarter
Cost of concessions varies primarily with theatre attendance as well as the quantity and mix of concession offerings sold. The increase in concession cost as compared to the prior year period was due to the 4.9% increase in concession revenues, partially offset by the 0.4% decrease in the concession cost percentage during the period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.49 in the second quarter of 2011 to $3.69 in the same period in 2012, reflecting the impact of the higher CPP during the period and the lower concession cost percentage.
Year to Date
The increase in concession cost during the period was due to the 11.1% increase in concession revenues partially offset by the 0.5% decrease in the concession cost percentage. The 10% discount offered to SCENE members contributes to a higher concession cost percentage, however Cineplex believes the SCENE program drives incremental attendance and purchase incidence which increases concession revenues and CPP.
Depreciation and amortization
The following table highlights the movement in depreciation and amortization expenses during the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| Amortization expenses | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||
| 2012 | 2011 | Change | 2012 | 2011 | Change | |||||||
| Amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds | $ | 14,428 | $ | 15,078 | -4.3 | % | $ | 28,943 | $ | 30,202 | -4.2 | % |
| Amortization of intangible assets and other | 228 | 2,240 | -89.8 | % | 2,167 | 4,488 | -51.7 | % | ||||

The quarterly and annual decrease in amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds of $0.7 million and $1.3 million respectively is due in part to the transfer of digital projection equipment to CDCP in June 2011 resulting in lower asset values to depreciate. The declining 35 millimeter projector base due to the circuit's conversion to digital (which was substantially complete as of June 30, 2012) also contributed to the decrease in amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and other relates to certain intangible assets that became fully amortized during the first quarter of 2012.

Second Quarter
For the second quarter of 2012, Cineplex recorded a loss of $0.7 million on the disposal of assets. For the second quarter of 2011, the gain on disposal of assets represents the gain recorded on the sale of a theatre ($1.4 million) and a nominal gain recorded on the transfer of digital projection assets to CDCP. These gains were partially offset by the loss on assets that were sold or otherwise disposed of.
Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, disposal of assets resulted in a loss of $0.7 million on the disposal of assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, disposal of assets resulted in a gain of $0.5 million, comprised of the gain on the sale of the theatre and transfer of assets to CDCP described above, net of losses recorded on assets that were sold or otherwise disposed of.
Other costs
Other costs include three main sub-categories of expenses, including theatre occupancy expenses, which capture the rent and associated occupancy costs for Cineplex's various operations; other operating expenses, which include the costs related to running Cineplex's theatres and ancillary businesses; and general and administrative expenses, which includes costs related to managing Cineplex's operations, including the head office expenses.

Second Quarter
Theatre occupancy expenses decreased $0.1 million during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to lower same-store rent, partially offset by higher realty taxes. The same store rent decrease was due to lower percentage rent as a result of lower business volumes at certain theatres that are subject to percentage rent payments.
Year to Date
The increase in theatre occupancy expenses of $0.1 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to the prior year period was due to the impact of one-time items, partially offset by the impact of new and disposed theatres.

Second Quarter
Other operating expenses increased $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year period. The largest component of this increase was in the Other category, which includes the following:
- Higher credit card service fees due in part to the high demand for advanced ticket sales for Marvel's The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises ($0.4 million).
- Digital projector rental costs for projectors rented from CDCP ($0.3 million).
- Higher utility costs due to the higher than seasonal temperatures across Canada during the period ($0.8 million).
- Increased spending for new business initiatives including Cineplex's interactive business ($0.4 million).
In addition, the net impact of new and disposed theatres contributed $0.7 million to the increase. These increases were partially offset by lower media costs due to lower media sales ($1.3 million), lower same-store payroll costs ($0.5 million) and the impact of NWS ($0.4 million). Expenses for NWS are included in other operating expenses in 2011 but not in 2012 due to the creation of CSI. Total theatre payroll costs accounted for 45.0% of total operating expenses during the second quarter of 2012 as compared to 46.2% for the same period one year earlier.
Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, other operating expenses increased $2.7 million, due to the higher business volumes in the 2012 period compared to the prior year. Cost increases included higher same-store payroll expenses related to the increased business volumes ($1.3 million), higher marketing costs ($0.8 million) and the $2.6 million increase in the Other category. The components of the Other category include:
- Higher credit card service fees ($0.8 million).
- Digital projector rental costs due to the roll-out of CDCP subsequent to the second quarter of 2011 ($0.5 million).
- Higher utility costs due to the higher than seasonal temperatures across Canada during the current year period ($0.7 million).
- Increased spending for new business initiatives including Cineplex's interactive business ($0.4 million).
These increases were partially offset by lower media costs ($2.4 million) as a result of lower media sales during the period. Total theatre payroll accounted for 45.6% of total other operating expenses in the first six months of 2012, compared to 45.4% in the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses
The following table highlights the movement in general and administrative ("G&A") expenses during the quarter and the year to date, including share and unit based compensation costs, and G&A net of these costs (in thousands of Canadian dollars):

| (i) | LTIP includes the expense for the LTIP program as well as the expense for the executive and Board deferred share unit plans. |
Second Quarter
G&A expenses decreased $2.5 million during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year period, due to a $3.4 million decrease in the expense for the option plan. This decrease was partially offset by higher LTIP costs ($0.3 million) and higher payroll related and general costs ($0.6 million).
Effective January 1, 2012, the Board of Directors of Cineplex invoked Cineplex's right to substitute a cashless exercise for any requested exercise of options for cash, in accordance with the terms of the option plan. As a result of the change in administrative policy, the options may only be equity-settled, and are considered equity, not liabilities. The expense amount for options is determined at the time of their issuance, recognized over the vesting period of the options. Existing options at the time of the change in administrative policy have their remaining expense determined at the time of the change in administrative policy, recognized over the remaining vesting periods.
Year to Date
G&A expenses for the first six months of 2012 decreased $2.6 million compared to the prior year period, due to the $5.3 million decrease in the option plan expense. This decrease was partially offset by higher professional fees ($0.8 million) relating to the creation of CSI and an internal corporate reorganization effected on January 1, 2012, higher LTIP costs ($0.3 million) and payroll related and general cost increases ($1.6 million).
Share of loss (income) of joint ventures
Cineplex's joint ventures in 2012 include its 50% share of one theatre in Quebec and one IMAX screen in Ontario, its 50% interest in SCENE LP, its 78.2% interest in CDCP (formed in June 2011) and its 50% interest in CSI (formed January 31, 2012). For the 2011 period, Cineplex's joint ventures included one theatre in Quebec, one IMAX screen in Ontario, its interest in SCENE LP and its 78.2% interest in CDCP.

Second Quarter
The variance from the prior year period was primarily due to $2.2 million of start-up costs relating to CDCP recognized during the prior year period. The results of CSI, created in January 2012 and therefore not included in the prior year period, also contributed to this difference.
Year to Date
The movement from a loss of $0.4 million in the first six months of 2011 to income of $0.2 million in the current period is primarily due to the activities of CDCP (formed in June 2011), CSI and SCENE:
- CDCP in the 2011 period includes the $2.2 million of start-up costs, which when compared to the income of $0.9 million generated in the current year period results in a positive variance of $3.1 million year over year.
- SCENE's results in the 2011 period include income relating to a change in accounting estimate for breakage resulting in a program-to-date adjustment to its outstanding points liability. When compared to the current year period the result is a negative variance of $3.0 million year over year.
- The results of CSI, formed January 31, 2012 and therefore not included in the prior year comparative, also contributed a $0.5 million positive variance year over year.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
The following table represents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 (expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except adjusted EBITDA margin):
| EBITDA | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||||||
| 2012 | 2011 | Change | 2012 | 2011 | Change | |||||||||||

| Adjusted EBITDA margin | 17.9 | % | 17.2 | % | 0.7 | % | 17.3 | % | 15.8 | % | 1.5 | % | ||||
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 increased $2.9 million, or 6.5%, as compared to the prior year period, and is a record second quarter adjusted EBITDA for Cineplex. The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to the higher exhibition and concession revenues recorded in the period. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 17.9%, up 0.7% from 17.2% in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $12.8 million, or 16.9%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the higher exhibition and concession revenues due to the higher theatre attendance. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 17.3%, up from 15.8% in the prior year period.
