AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., the largest movie exhibition company globally, operates approximately 880 theatres with 9,800 screens worldwide, offering cutting-edge cinema experiences and diverse content ranging from blockbuster films to independent programming.
In its third quarter of 2024, AMC Entertainment Holdings reported total revenues of $1,348.8 million with a net loss of $20.7 million, marking a significant shift from the net earnings of $12.3 million achieved in the same quarter of the previous year. Despite the net loss, the company highlighted a strong recovery in its Adjusted EBITDA, which reached $161.8 million, the second-best performance for a third quarter in its history.
A key factor in AMC’s performance was the improvement in the box office environment, contributing to a 31% increase in total revenues compared to the second quarter of 2024. The company also achieved record-high admissions and food and beverage revenues per patron. Furthermore, AMC successfully extended the maturity of $2.4 billion of its long-term debt from 2026 to 2029 and 2030, while reducing its outstanding debt by $349 million through various financial strategies.
Despite some metrics lagging behind last year’s performance, AMC remains optimistic about the future. The company anticipates a robust lineup of movie releases in the coming months and years, which is expected to drive a noticeable increase in box office revenues.
Looking ahead, AMC’s management is cautiously optimistic, acknowledging ongoing challenges yet expressing confidence in navigating the path forward. The company’s focus remains on capitalizing on improved industry conditions and strategically managing its financial resources to ensure a sustainable recovery and growth trajectory.
