- Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted free cash flow per common share of Cineplex, BPP and CPP are measures that do not have a standardized meaning under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

"Total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 increased 7.2%, or $21.9 million compared to the prior year, due largely to the 2013 acquisitions of 24 Atlantic theatres and digital signage company Cineplex Digital Networks," said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex Entertainment. "The box office was impacted by the underperformance of a number of big summer titles and the shifting of release dates on certain films which resulted in a same store decrease in box office revenues of 4.2%, compared to the prior year quarter."
"Media revenues increased 17.6%, to $31.0 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of Cineplex Digital Networks. New second quarter records were established for BPP of $9.40 and CPP of $5.08. The CPP of $5.08 was a new all-time record. Food service revenues continued to be strong, increasing 9.3% to $98.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.2% to $59.4 million as compared to the same period last year."
"While box office revenues fluctuate as a result of the product being released during each quarter, we continue to focus on diversification in related businesses including media, digital commerce, gaming, food service and alternative programming to offset the variability of our earnings. Our SCENE loyalty program added 200,000 members to reach 5.8 million during the quarter, we announced a partnership with Oxford Properties Group to create North America's first place-based digital ecosystem in ten high-profile shopping centres across Canada, and we launched a new digital commerce platform for CineplexStore."

Box office revenues increased $7.0 million, or 4.0%, to $181.4 million during the second quarter of 2014, compared to $174.4 million recorded in the same period in 2013. The increase was due to the impact of the Atlantic Theatres, which contributed $13.1 million to box office revenues during the period, net of a 4.2% decrease in same store box office revenues. The weaker film slate in the current period compared to the prior year resulted in a 5.0% decrease in same store attendance and the 4.2% decline in same store box office revenues.
BPP for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $9.40, a $0.04 increase from the prior year period and a second quarter record for Cineplex. Cineplex continues to invest in premium priced formats including 3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP thereby positioning itself to benefit from the premiums charged for these offerings. The strong performance of Cineplex's premium-priced product resulted in Cineplex's same-store results declining less than the Canadian industry in the period, with the industry estimated to be down 6.4% in the period compared to Cineplex's same-store decline of 4.2%.

Box office revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $337.6 million, an increase of $18.1 million or 5.7% over the prior year due to the contribution from the Atlantic Theatres ($23.9 million) more than offsetting the same store revenue decrease of 2.5% due to a 3.8% same store attendance decline. Attendance and box office revenues in the period were impacted by the weaker film product in the first half of 2014 compared to the prior year period, and the impact of extreme weather conditions in certain areas of the country in the first quarter, particularly in the Atlantic provinces, where theatre closures, power outages and poor driving conditions deterred guests from visiting the theatres. The Canadian industry also under performed the US industry in the first quarter of the year, as certain films in the slate performed stronger in certain regions of the US market than they did in Canada.
Cineplex's BPP for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $0.05, or 0.5%, from $9.18 in the prior year period to $9.23 in the current period. This increase was primarily due to the increase in revenues from premium-priced product. Premium-priced offerings accounted for 40.1% of Cineplex's box office revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 38.9% in the prior year period. The top five films in the six months ended June 30, 2014 were all screened in 3D (2013 period - four in 3D). The BPP increase was partially mitigated by the top film during the period, The Lego Movie, catering to family audiences, resulting in a higher proportion of child tickets sold with a lower average ticket price.

Second Quarter
Food service revenues are comprised primarily of concession revenues, which includes food sales at theatre locations as well as non-theatre locations. Food service revenues increased $8.3 million, or 9.3% as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition of the Atlantic Theatres, which contributed $8.0 million to food service revenues in the period, and the CPP increase from $4.81 in the second quarter of 2013 to $5.08 in the same period in 2014. This represents a quarterly CPP record for Cineplex and the second quarter in a row that exceeds $5.00 for CPP. Expanded offerings outside of core food service products are driving a higher average order value, resulting in the record CPP in the period.
Year to Date
Food service revenues increased $19.6 million, or 11.8% as compared to the prior year, due to the acquisition of the Atlantic Theatres ($15.5 million) and the 6.3% increase in CPP. CPP increased from $4.76 in the 2013 period to $5.06 in the current period, the highest CPP Cineplex has reported through the first six months of a year. Same store attendance decreased 3.8% compared to the prior year period, however same store food service revenues increased 1.6% due to the record CPP in the current period more than offsetting the impact of the same store attendance decline.
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.
Media revenues
The following table highlights the movement in media revenues for the quarter and the year-to-date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| Media revenues | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||
| 2014 | 2013 | Change | 2014 | 2013 | Change | |||||||

| Total | $ | 30,990 | $ | 26,350 | 17.6 | % | $ | 55,345 | $ | 42,660 | 29.7 | % |
Second Quarter
Media revenues increased 17.6% to $31.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period. This increase was due to higher Cineplex Digital Media revenues, up $7.1 million as compared to the prior year period due to the inclusion of CDN's revenues of $7.0 million.
Cineplex Media revenues were $21.2 million, down $2.5 million (10.5%) from the prior year period, primarily due to lower showtime and pre-show revenues against a strong comparator, as the prior year period was a record second quarter for Cineplex Media revenues. Cineplex Media revenues are $5.4 million higher than the second quarter of 2012.
Year to Date
Media revenues increased $12.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year period. The increase was due to the $13.3 million increase in Cineplex Digital Media revenues arising from the acquisition of CDN.
Cineplex Media revenues were $0.6 million lower than the prior year period due to lower pre-show and showtime revenues due to the tough comparator against the prior year period record results, with declines in the packaged goods and electronics categories contributing to the decline. Cineplex Media revenues are $10.4 million higher than the first six months of 2012.
Other revenues
The following table highlights the movement in games and other revenues for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| Other revenues | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||

Second Quarter
Other revenues include gaming revenues as well as revenues from the Cineplex Store, promotional activities, screenings, private parties, corporate events, breakage on gift card and voucher sales, revenues from in-theatre guest service initiatives and management fees. Games revenues do not include Cineplex's 50% share of results of CSI, which are included in "Share of income of joint ventures".
Other revenues increased 16.6% to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to additional revenues arising from enhanced guest service initiatives and new business initiatives. Games revenues decreased 1.0% in the period, due to the 5.0% decrease in same store attendance, partially offset by the inclusion of the Atlantic Theatres ($0.1 million).
Year to Date
For the year-to-date period, other revenues have increased 15.7% compared to the prior year period due to additional revenues arising from enhanced guest service initiatives and new business initiatives. Games revenues in the prior year period include a life-to-date one-time increase to games revenues in the 2013 period of $0.5 million arising from a change in accounting policy regarding the recognition of revenue on the sale of XSCAPE gaming cards. Excluding this one-time amount, games revenues increased $0.2 million in the 2014 period compared to the same period in 2013 due to the inclusion of the Atlantic Theatres.
Film cost

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 2014 compared to the prior year period was due to the increase in box office revenue, partially offset by the 1.0% decrease in film cost percentage. The decrease in film cost percentage is primarily due to the settlement rate on the top films during the second quarter of 2014 being lower than the average film settlement rate in the 2013 period.
Year to Date
The year to date increase in film cost was due to the 5.7% increase in box office revenues, partially offset by the 0.1% decrease in film cost percentage during the period. The decrease in the film cost percentage as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to the settlement rate on certain titles during the 2014 period being lower than the average settlement rate in the 2013 period.
Cost of food service

Second Quarter
Cost of food service varies primarily with theatre attendance as well as the quantity and mix of offerings sold. The increase in the cost of food service as compared to the prior year period was due to the higher food service revenues and the 0.2% increase in the concession cost percentage during the period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.79 in the second quarter of 2013 to $3.98 in the same period in 2014, reflecting the impact of the higher CPP during the period.
Year to Date
The increase in the cost of food service as compared to the prior year period was due to the higher food service revenues and the 0.2% increase in the concession cost percentage during the period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.74 in the prior year period to $3.97 in the current period, reflecting the impact of the higher CPP in the current period.
Despite the 10% discount offered to SCENE members and SCENE points offered on select offerings, which contributes to a higher concession cost percentage, Cineplex believes the SCENE program drives incremental attendance and purchase incidence which increases food service revenues and CPP.
Depreciation and amortization
The following table highlights the movement in depreciation and amortization expenses during the quarter and year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| Depreciation and amortization expenses | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||
| 2014 | 2013 | Change | 2014 | 2013 | Change | |||||||
| Depreciation of property, equipment and leaseholds | $ | 17,333 | $ | 14,209 | 22.0 | % | $ | 34,163 | $ | 27,988 | 22.1 | % |
| Amortization of intangible assets and other | 1,862 | 2,318 | -19.7 | % | 3,700 | 5,837 | -36.6 | % | ||||
| Depreciation and amortization expenses as reported | $ | 19,195 | $ | 16,527 | 16.1 | % | $ | 37,863 | $ | 33,825 | 11.9 | % |
The quarterly increase in depreciation of property, equipment and leaseholds of $3.1 million and year to date increase of $6.2 million is primarily due to the impact of equipment and leasehold improvements relating to assets acquired through acquisitions and new theatre construction.
The decrease in amortization of intangible assets and other in the second quarter of 2014 and the year to date period compared to the prior year periods is due to the amortization of certain trade name assets included in the prior year period that were phased out by Cineplex at the end of 2013. These assets were previously classified as indefinite life assets however during the fourth quarter of 2012 their classification was changed to finite life with amortization recorded through December 31, 2013. The 2014 periods include intangible amortization relating to customer relationships and internally developed software acquired as part of the acquisition of CDN which closed during the third quarter of 2013.
Loss on disposal of assets
The following table shows the movement in the loss on disposal of assets during the quarter and year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| Loss on disposal of assets | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||
| 2014 | 2013 | Change | 2014 | 2013 | Change | |||||||
| Loss on disposal of assets | $ | 1,989 | $ | 1,314 | 51.4 | % | $ | 1,933 | $ | 2,376 | -18.6 | % |
During the second quarter of 2014, Cineplex recorded a loss of $2.0 million on the disposal of assets that were sold or otherwise disposed (2013 - $1.3 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2014, disposal of assets resulted in a loss of $1.9 million on the disposal of assets that were sold or otherwise disposed of (2013 - $2.4 million). The current year to date period includes $0.6 million gain on the sale of land that was previously a drive-in theatre which is offset by losses on certain 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 increased $3.4 million during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($3.3 million, of which $3.1 million relates to the Atlantic Theatres). The remaining increase was due to higher same store rent expenses due to rent increases at certain theatre properties as well as higher insurance costs (included in "Other"), net of the impact of one-time items.
Year to Date
The increase in theatre occupancy expenses of $7.9 million for the 2014 period compared to the prior year was due to the impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($7.0 million, of which $6.1 million relates to the Atlantic Theatres). The remaining increase was due to higher same store rent expenses due to rent increases at certain theatre properties and the impact of one-time items.

Second Quarter
Other operating expenses during the second quarter of 2014 increased $15.1 million or 22.0% compared to the prior year period. The major components of the increase were the impact of CDN which was acquired in the third quarter of 2013 ($7.0 million), the impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($5.4 million), developing business initiatives including the Cineplex Store ($1.1 million), higher same-store payroll costs ($0.4 million) due in part to minimum wage increases, and other expenses ($1.4 million, discussed below). These increases were partially offset by lower marketing costs ($0.6 million) due to the timing of certain campaigns in the current period compared to the prior year.
The major movements in the Other category include the following:
- The increase in 3D attendance due to the additional 132 3D screens added since June 30, 2013 resulted in higher 3D royalty costs ($0.4 million) as well as contributing to the higher cost of projector bulbs ($0.5 million) as 3D features require bulbs with higher output which significantly reduces the life of the bulbs;
- Higher credit card service fees due to higher sales volumes arising from the acquisition of the Atlantic Theatres ($0.2 million); and
- Higher other costs ($0.3 million) including ongoing theatre maintenance.
Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, other operating expenses increased $34.8 million or 26.2% compared to the prior year period. The major components of this increase were the impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($11.6 million) primarily due to the addition of the Atlantic Theatres, the inclusion of CDN ($13.6 million), developing business initiatives including the Cineplex Store ($3.9 million), higher same-store payroll costs ($1.9 million) due in part to minimum wage increases, higher marketing costs ($0.4 million) partially due to advertising initiatives undertaken as part of Cineplex's partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee, and other expenses ($2.9 million, discussed below).
The major movements in the Other category include the following:
- The increase in 3D attendance due to the additional 132 3D screens added since June 30, 2013 resulted in higher 3D royalty costs ($0.6 million) as well as contributing to the higher cost of projector bulbs ($0.8 million) as 3D features require bulbs with higher output which significantly reduces the life of the bulbs;
- Higher credit card service fees due to higher sales volumes arising from the acquisition of the Atlantic Theatres ($0.4 million);
- Higher same-store utility costs ($0.3 million) due in part to the cold temperatures across parts of the country during the winter months in the current period; and
- Higher other costs ($0.8 million) including ongoing theatre maintenance.
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 based compensation costs, and G&A net of these costs (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
| G&A expenses | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||

(i) LTIP includes the expense for Cineplex's long-term incentive program ("LTIP") as well as the expense for the executive and Board deferred share unit plans.
Second Quarter
G&A expenses decreased $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period due to a $2.6 million decrease in LTIP expense partially offset by higher professional fees. The LTIP decrease is due in part to Cineplex's Share price decreasing from $42.07 at March 31, 2014 to $41.45 at June 30, 2014 compared to an increase from $34.48 at March 31, 2013 to $36.88 at June 30, 2013. G&A excluding LTIP and option plan expense increased $1.2 million due to higher professional fees relating to new business opportunities.
Year to Date
G&A expenses for the year to date period decreased $2.7 million compared to the prior year period, due to a $4.9 million decrease in LTIP expense due primarily to a decrease in Cineplex's Share price of 5.9% in the current period compared to an increase of 15.9% in the prior year period, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in G&A excluding LTIP and option expense, due to a $0.8 million increase in head office payroll due to developing business initiatives and a $1.5 million increase in professional fees relating to new business opportunities and other ongoing initiatives.
EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, INCOME TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ("EBITDA") (see non-GAAP measures section of this news release)
The following table presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 (expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except adjusted EBITDA margin):
| EBITDA | Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||||||||||
| 2014 | 2013 | Change | 2014 | 2013 | Change | |||||||||||
| EBITDA | $ | 57,411 | $ | 57,513 | -0.2 | % | $ | 87,756 | $ | 87,866 | -0.1 | % | ||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 59,430 | $ | 58,711 | 1.2 | % | $ | 90,311 | $ | 90,401 | -0.1 | % | ||||
| Adjusted EBITDA margin | 18.4 | % | 19.5 | % | -1.1 | % | 15.0 | % | 16.4 | % | -1.4 | % | ||||
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 increased $0.7 million, or 1.2%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the acquisitions of the Atlantic Theatres and CDN, partially offset by the weaker film product resulting in lower same store attendance, lower showtime and pre-show media revenues due to a tough comparator with the prior year and higher professional fees relating to new business opportunities. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 18.4% in the current period, down from 19.5% in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, as compared to the prior year period, due to the weaker film product in the current period resulting in lower same store attendance, lower showtime and pre-show media revenues due to a tough comparator with the prior year and higher professional fees relating to new business opportunities. The contribution from the Atlantic Theatres and CDN largely offset the period over period decrease. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the period was 15.0%, down from 16.4% in the prior year period.
ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW
For the second quarter of 2014, adjusted free cash flow per common share of Cineplex was $0.7734 as compared to $0.7347 in the prior year period. The declared dividends per common share of Cineplex were $0.3700 in the second quarter of 2014 and $0.3525 in the prior year period. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, Cineplex generated adjusted free cash flow per Share of $2.4047, compared to $2.2326 per Share in the twelve months ended June 30, 2013. Cineplex declared dividends per Share of $1.4500 and $1.3650, respectively, in each period. The payout ratios for these periods were approximately 60.3% and 61.1%, respectively. Adjusted free cash flow per common share and the payout ratios for the 2014 and 2013 periods are positively impacted by Cineplex's use of loss carryforwards acquired through Cineplex's acquisition of AMC Ventures Inc. in 2012, resulting in Cineplex's cash income taxes in 2013 and 2014 being substantially reduced.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not measures recognized by 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. 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.
EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense net of interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for gains and losses on disposal of assets, the share of income or loss of CDCP and depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes of Cineplex's other joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.
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.
For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and from cash used in operating activities to adjusted free cash flow, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on www.sedar.com.
Per Patron Revenue Metrics
Cineplex reviews per patron metrics as they relate to box office revenue and concession revenue such as BPP, CPP, BPP excluding premium priced product, and concession margin per patron, as these are key measures used by investors to value and assess Cineplex's performance, and are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry. Management of Cineplex defines these metrics as follows:
Attendance: Attendance is calculated as the total number of paying patrons that frequent Cineplex's theatres during the period.
BPP: Calculated as total box office revenues divided by total paid attendance for the period.
BPP excluding premium priced product: Calculated as total box office revenues for the period, less box office revenues from 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and IMAX product; divided by total paid attendance for the period, less paid attendance for 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and IMAX product.
CPP: Calculated as total food service revenues divided by total paid attendance for the period.
Premium priced product: Defined as 3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP film product.
Concession margin per patron: Calculated as total concession revenues less total concession cost, divided by attendance for the period.
Same Store Analysis
Cineplex reviews and reports same store metrics relating to box office revenues, concession revenues, rent expense and payroll expense, as these measures are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry as well as other retail industries.
Same store metrics are calculated by removing the results for all theatres that have been opened, acquired, closed or otherwise disposed of subsequent to the start of the prior year comparative period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the impact of the 29 locations that have been opened or acquired and three locations that have been closed or otherwise disposed of have been excluded, resulting in 130 theatres being included in the same store metrics. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the impact of the 31 locations that have been opened or acquired and the three locations that have been closed or otherwise disposed of have been excluded, resulting in 128 theatres being included in the same store metrics.
Cost of sales percentages
Cineplex reviews and reports cost of sales percentages for its two largest revenue sources, box office revenues and concession revenues as these measures are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry. These measures are reported as film cost percentage and concession cost percentage, respectively, and are calculated as follows:
Film cost percentage: Calculated as total film cost expense divided by total box office revenues for the period.
Concession cost percentage: Calculated as total food service costs divided by total food service revenues for the period.
