“We are very pleased to report first quarter records in various key performance metrics, including our worldwide attendance, admissions and concession revenues, concession per patron, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin,” stated Mark Zoradi, Cinemark’s Chief Executive Officer. “The strength of the Hollywood film content drove North American industry box office growth of 12.5%. Cinemark’s domestic admissions revenues surpassed the industry by 160 basis points, marking 26 out of the past 29 quarters of outperformance. Locally-produced films fueled robust attendance growth of nearly 17% in our Latin American operations, reiterating that our industry is more closely tied to film content than economic or political environments.”

(1) Adjusted EBITDA as calculated in the chart above represents net income before income taxes, interest expense, other (income) expense, loss on early retirement of debt, other cash distributions from equity investees, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, gain on sale of assets and other, changes in deferred lease expense, amortization of long-term prepaid rents and share based awards compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
(2) Represents cash distributions received from equity investees that were recorded as a reduction of the respective investment balances. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2015 has been recast to reflect a comparable presentation.
(3) Non-cash expense included in facility lease expense.
(4) Non-cash expense included in other theatre operating expenses.
(5) Non-cash expense included in general and administrative expenses.
