        Explanatory Note:    AMC Entertainment Inc. hereby amends Parts 1 and 2 of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 ("Original Filing") to include amended Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 6. Exhibits to revise and generally conform the treatment of certain items in the financial statements of AMC Entertainment Inc. included in this Report on Form 10-Q/A to the previously filed financial statements of our parent, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings' financial statements, which remain unchanged and are not affected by this report, were included in Amendment No. 6 to Holdings' Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2013.

        During the three months ended June 30, 2013, management identified adjustments necessary to correct the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets recognized when "push down" accounting was applied at the date of the Merger and to correct changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets recognized subsequent to the Merger. The Company has corrected amounts originally recorded for income tax provision during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 by recording them during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during the prior year successor period from August 31, 2012 to December 31, 2012 and as further described in Note 1-Prior Period Adjustments. The impact of the restatement increased the provision for income taxes and increased loss from continuing operations and net loss by $2,800,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and increased accumulated deficit by $5,520,000 and $8,320,000 as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has restated its December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 balance sheet from amounts previously reported to reflect these adjustments. There was no impact on net cash provided by operating activities as a result of the above mentioned items or any impact on any period prior to August 31, 2012.

        The information contained in this Form 10-Q/A has not been updated to reflect other events, other than those identified above related to the restatement, occurring after May 10, 2013, the date of the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Without limitation of the foregoing, this filing does not purport to update Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Original Filing of the March 31, 2013 Form 10-Q for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends known to management occurring subsequent to the filing of the original March 31, 2013 Form 10-Q. More current information is contained in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        AMC Entertainment® Inc. ("AMCE" or the "Company") is an intermediate holding company, which, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") and its subsidiaries (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. AMCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent") and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate.

        On August 30, 2012, Wanda acquired Parent through a merger between Parent and Wanda Film Exhibition Co. Ltd. ("Merger Subsidiary"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda, whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Parent with Parent continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda (the "Merger"). In connection with the change of control pursuant to the Merger, the Company's assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value on the closing date of the Merger by application of "push down" accounting. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting in connection with the Merger, the Company's financial statement presentations herein distinguish between a predecessor period ("Predecessor"), for periods prior to the Merger and a successor period ("Successor"), for periods subsequent to the Merger. The Successor applied "push down" accounting and its financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date, August 30, 2012. The consolidated financial statements presented herein are those of Successor from January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013, and those of Predecessor for all periods prior to the Merger date. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting at the time of the Merger, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on different bases and are, therefore, not comparable. See Note 2—Merger for additional information regarding the Merger.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in response to the requirements of Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition year ended December 31, 2012. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Transition Report on Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2013. The Company manages its business under one operating segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

        Use of Estimates:    Preparing the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket breakage. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Management determined that an increase to the valuation allowance at the date of the Merger was necessary to provide for deferred tax assets that more likely than not will not be realized. The out of period adjustment increased reported goodwill by $31,463,000, decreased other current assets by

$30,300,000 and increased other long-term liabilities by $1,163,000 as of December 31, 2012. The Company has restated its March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 balance sheet from amounts previously reported to reflect these adjustments.

        Management also determined that during the successor period from August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and during the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, reductions to the valuation allowance were incorrectly recorded, resulting in an understatement of tax expense and net loss from continuing operations of $5,520,000 and $2,800,000 respectively.

        The prior period adjustments for the periods noted above have been recorded during 2012 and in 2013 during the correct interim periods. The Company adjusted for the cumulative effect in the carrying amount of other long-term liabilities for the error related to the successor period from August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012 of $5,520,000 with an offsetting adjustment to the income tax provision during the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company recorded the provision for income taxes for the error related to the three months ended March 31, 2013 during the first quarter of 2013 by increasing the income tax provision by $2,800,000.

NOTE 2—MERGER

        Parent and Wanda, a Chinese private conglomerate, completed a Merger on August 30, 2012 in which Wanda indirectly acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Parent. Parent merged with Wanda Film Exhibition Co. Ltd., ("Merger Subsidiary"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda, whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Parent with Parent continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda. The merger consideration totaled $701,811,000, with $700,000,000 invested by Wanda and $1,811,000 invested by members of management. Wanda also acquired cash, corporate borrowings and capital and financing lease obligations in connection with the Merger as described below.

        As a result of the Merger and related change of control, the Company applied "push down" accounting, which requires allocation of the Merger consideration to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired in the Merger. The allocation of Merger consideration was based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including a valuation assessment performed by a third party appraiser. Final appraisal reports were received during the first quarter of calendar 2013.

The appraisal measurements included a combination of income, replacement costs and market approaches and represents management's best estimate of fair value at August 30, 2012, the acquisition date. Management has finalized its purchase price allocation during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Adjustments made during the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased recorded goodwill by approximately $32,000,000. Property, net and other long-term assets decreased by approximately $28,000,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, due to final determinations of fair values assigned to tangible assets. The following is a summary of the allocation of the Merger consideration:

    Merger date for those deferred tax assets where management believes it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the valuation allowance, management evaluated the expected future reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies that are prudent and feasible.

(7)
Deferred revenues for Exhibitor Services Agreement reflect the Company's obligation pursuant to an arrangement with NCM to provide advertising services on terms favorable to NCM.

(8)
Other long-term liabilities consist of certain theatre leases that have been identified as unfavorable, adjustments to reset deferred rent related to escalations of minimum rentals to zero, adjustments for pension and postretirement medical plan liabilities and deferred RealD Inc. lease incentive recorded at fair value. Other long-term liabilities include deferred tax liabilities resulting from indefinite temporary differences that arose primarily from the application of "push down" accounting.

        The fair value measurements of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals, market comparables, and quoted market prices. Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate the fair value of corporate borrowings (Level 2) and the Company's investments in NCM and equity securities available for sale including RealD Inc. common stock (Level 1).

        During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred additional Merger-related costs of approximately $591,000, which are included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

        For further information about other Merger-related costs and change of control transactions for Corporate Borrowings, see Note 2—Merger and Note 9—Corporate Borrowings and Capital and Financing Lease Obligations in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITION

        In December 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 4 theatres and 61 screens from Rave Reviews Cinemas, LLC and 6 theatres and 95 screens from Rave Digital Media, LLC, (and together "Rave"). The total purchase price for the Rave theatres, paid in cash, was $87,870,000, net of cash acquired, and is subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. Approximately $315,000 of the total purchase price was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

        The acquisitions are being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including bid prices from potential buyers and a preliminary valuation assessment. The allocation of purchase price is subject to changes as an appraisal of assets and liabilities is not yet completed. The following is a summary of a preliminary allocation of the purchase price:

Receivables consist of trade receivables recorded at estimated fair value. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivables as a result of the acquisition of the Rave theatres.

(2)
Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations. Amounts recorded for goodwill are not subject to amortization, but are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs for the Rave theatres of approximately $310,000, which are included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were not materially impacted by this acquisition.

on behalf of DCIP for the installation of digital projection systems. After the projectors are installed and the Company is reimbursed for its installation costs, the Company will make capital contributions to DCIP for projector and installation costs in excess of the cap ($68,000 per system for digital conversions and $44,000 for new build locations). The Company pays equipment rent monthly and records the equipment rental expense on a straight-line basis over 12 years, including scheduled escalations of rent to commence after six and one-half years from the inception of the agreement. The difference between the cash rent and straight-line rent is recorded to deferred rent, a long-term liability account. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded $3,316,000 and $1,810,000 of deferred rent liability, respectively. The Company recorded digital equipment rental expense for continuing operations of $2,707,000 and $1,865,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, respectively.

        Open Road Films Transactions.    As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $1,197,000 and $1,950,000 of amounts due from Open Road Films and recorded $2,954,000 and $326,000 of amounts payable for film rentals, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company suspended equity method accounting for its investment in Open Road Films when the negative investment in Open Road Films reached the Company's capital commitment. The Company has no legal obligation to pay liabilities of Open Road Films in excess of the capital commitment.

        NCM Transactions.    As of March 31, 2013, the Company owns 19,052,770 units, or a 16.29% interest, in NCM. As a founding member, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the governance of NCM, and, accordingly accounts for its investment following the equity method. The estimated fair market value of the units in NCM was approximately $300,653,000, based on the publically quoted price per share of NCM, Inc. on March 28, 2013 of $15.78 per share.

        As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $1,976,000 and $1,978,000 respectively, of amounts due from NCM related to on-screen advertising revenue. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $1,642,000 and $2,021,000 respectively, of amounts due to NCM related to the Exhibitor Services Agreement.

For the Company's Tranche 1 investment, certain differences between the Company's carrying value and the Company's share of NCM's membership equity have been identified and are amortized to equity in earnings over the respective lives of the assets and liabilities.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value

The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. See Note 11Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

        The accounting for income taxes requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized, using enacted tax rates, for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

        The state tax provision was for the states that impose their income based taxes on a gross sales method, that impose a margin tax or that have suspended the use of net operating loss carryforwards into the current tax year.

NOTE 9—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including an online ticketing vendor, concession suppliers and film distributors), landlords and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and

the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

NOTE 10—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, ("ASU 2013-05"). This amendment clarifies the applicable guidance for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. When an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the entity is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net earnings only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company will adopt ASU 2013-05 as of the beginning of calendar 2014 and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-05 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

        In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, ("ASU 2013-02"). Under this amendment, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2013-02 in the first quarter of calendar 2013. See Note 11—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the required disclosure.

NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        On April 30, 2013, the Company entered into a new $925,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to which the Company borrowed term loans (the "Term Loan due 2020"), and used the proceeds to fund the redemption of both the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan due 2016 (the "Term Loan due 2016") and the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan due 2018 (the "Term Loan due 2018"). The new Senior Secured Credit Facility is comprised of a $150,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in 2018, and a $775,000,000 term loan, which matures in 2020. The Term Loan due 2020 requires repayments of principal of 0.25% per quarter and the remaining principal payable upon maturity on April 30, 2020. The term loan was issued at a 0.25% discount which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. The Company capitalized deferred financing costs paid to creditors of approximately $6,400,000 related to the issuance of the Revolving Credit Facility due 2018 during the second quarter of calendar 2013. Concurrently with the Term Loan due 2020 borrowings on April 30, 2013, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Term Loan due 2016 and the Term Loan due 2018 at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal balance of $464,088,000 and $296,250,000, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        Borrowings under the new Senior Secured Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company's option, either a base rate or LIBOR. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2020 at April 30, 2013 is 3.5% with respect to LIBOR borrowings (2.75% margin plus 0.75% minimum LIBOR rate). Prior to redemption, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2016 at April 30, 2013 was 4.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings (3.25% margin plus 1.00% minimum LIBOR rate) and the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2018 was 4.75% (3.75% margin plus 1.00% minimum LIBOR

rate). The Company will repay $7,750,000 of the Term Loan due 2020 per annum through April 30, 2019, with any remaining balance due on April 30, 2020. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans.

        The new Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company's ability, and the ability of its subsidiaries, to sell assets; incur additional indebtedness; prepay other indebtedness (including the notes); pay dividends and distributions or repurchase their capital stock; create liens on assets; make investments; make certain acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; have a change of control of permitted holders, amend certain charter documents and material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, including the Notes due 2019 and the Notes due 2020; change the business conducted by it and its subsidiaries; and enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility will require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a maximum net senior secured leverage ratio as long as the commitments under the revolving credit facility remain outstanding. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations (as well as cash management obligations), will be secured by substantially all of the Company's assets as well as those of each subsidiary guarantor.

we do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

        We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies. Our Theatrical Exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre concession sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our AMC Stubs™ guest frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, breakage income from gift card and packaged tickets sales, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies. As of March 31, 2013, we owned, operated or had interests in 342 theatres and 4,941 screens.

        Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license "first-run" films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors. We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on either aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture or on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture run. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

        Technical innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as IMAX, 3D and other large screen formats. When combined with our major markets' customer base, the operating flexibility of digital technology will enhance our capacity utilization and dynamic pricing capabilities. This will enable us to achieve higher ticket prices for premium formats and provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content such as live concerts, sporting events, Broadway shows, opera and other non-traditional programming. Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We will continue to broaden our content offerings and enhance the guest experience through the installation of additional IMAX, and ETX (our proprietary large screen format) screens and the presentation of attractive alternative content as well as substantial upgrades to seating concepts.

        Concessions sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different varieties of concession items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in that particular geographic region. Our strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing concessions counters designed for rapid service and efficiency, including a guest friendly self-serve experience. We design our theatres to have more concessions capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large concessions stands within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the concessions stands. To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of premium food and beverage products to include made-to-order drinks and meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, premium beers, wine and mixed drinks and other gourmet products. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, from simple, less capital-intensive concession design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options to rejuvenate theatres approaching the end of their useful lives as traditional movie theatres and, in some of our larger theatres, to more efficiently leverage their additional capacity. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We have successfully implemented our dine-in theatre concepts at 11 locations, which feature full kitchen facilities, seat-side servers and a separate bar and lounge area.

31


Table of Contents

We plan to continue to invest in one or more enhanced food and beverage offerings over the next three years across approximately 200 theatres.

        Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films are usually released during the summer and the calendar year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

        During the 2012 calendar year, films licensed from our seven largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 90% of our U.S. admissions revenues. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's films in any given year.

        During the period from 1990 to 2012, the annual number of first-run films released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 677 in 2012, according to Motion Picture Association of America 2012 MPAA Theatrical Market Statistics and prior reports. The number of digital 3D films released annually increased to a high of 45 in 2011 from a low of 0 during this same time period.

        We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions, substantial upgrades to seating concepts, expansion of food and beverage offerings, including dine-in theatres, and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and premium seat design. As of March 31, 2013, we have 2,361 3D enabled screens, including ETX 3D enabled screens, and 134 IMAX 3D enabled screens; approximately 47.8% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX 3D enabled screens, and approximately 2.7% of our screens were IMAX 3D enabled screens. We are the largest IMAX exhibitor in the world with a 45% market share in the United States and each of our IMAX local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity. On July 16, 2012, we, along with the IMAX Corporation, announced an expansion of our existing joint revenue sharing arrangement to include the installation of 8 confirmed and up to 18 additional IMAX theatres in the United States.

        On April 1, 2011, we fully launched AMC Stubs, a guest frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and concessions revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and concessions revenues, based on member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or concessions revenues based on original point of sale. Progress rewards (member spend toward earned rewards) for expired memberships are forfeited upon expiration of the membership and recognized as admissions or concessions revenues based on original point of sale. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

        On August 30, 2012, Wanda acquired Parent through a merger between Parent and Wanda Film Exhibition Co. Ltd. ("Merger Subsidiary"), an indirect subsidiary of Wanda, whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Parent with Parent continuing as the surviving corporation and as an indirect subsidiary of Wanda. In connection with the change of control pursuant to the Merger, the Company's assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value on the closing date of the Merger by application of "push down" accounting. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting in connection with the Merger, the Company's financial statement presentations herein distinguish between a predecessor period, ("Predecessor"), for periods prior to the Merger and a successor period, ("Successor"), for periods subsequent to the Merger. The Successor applied "push down" accounting and its financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date, August 30, 2012. As a result of the application of "push

33


Table of Contents

down" accounting at the time of the Merger, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on different bases and are, therefore, not comparable. See Note 2—Merger for additional information regarding the Merger.

        In December 2012, we completed the acquisition of 4 theatres and 61 screens from Rave Reviews Cinemas, LLC and 6 theatres and 95 screens from Rave Digital Media, LLC, (and together "Rave theatres"). The purchase price for the Rave theatres, paid in cash, was $87,870,000, net of cash acquired, and is subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. For additional information about this acquisition, see Note 3—Acquisition to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In July and August of 2012, we sold 6 and closed 1 of our 8 theatres located in Canada. One theatre with 20 screens was closed prior to the end of the lease term and we made a payment to the landlord to terminate this lease for $7,562,000. Two theatres with 48 screens were sold under an asset purchase agreement to Empire Theatres Limited and 4 theatres with 86 screens were sold under the share purchase agreement to Cineplex, Inc. During the Transition Period of March 30, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the total net proceeds we received from these sales were approximately $1,472,000, and are subject to purchase price adjustments. The operations of these 7 theatres have been eliminated from our ongoing operations. We do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of these 7 theatres after the dispositions. During August of 2012, we sold one theatre in the UK with 12 screens. Proceeds from this sale were $395,000 and were subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the sales agreement. The results of operations of these 8 theatres have been classified as discontinued operations. We are in discussions with the landlords regarding the ongoing operations at the remaining theatre located in Canada and the remaining theatre located in the UK. We recorded gains, net of lease termination expense, on the sales of these theatres of approximately $39,000,000, which were included in discontinued operations during the Transition Period of March 30, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and reflect the write off of long-term lease liabilities extinguished in connection with the sales and closure. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada.

        Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we recognized breakage income when gift card redemptions were deemed remote and we determined that there was no legal obligation to remit the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant tax jurisdiction ("Remote Method"), which, based on historical information, we concluded to be 18 months after the gift card was issued. At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we concluded we had accumulated a sufficient level of historical data from a large pool of homogeneous transactions to allow us to reasonably and objectively determine an estimated gift card breakage rate and the pattern of actual gift card redemptions. Accordingly, we changed our method for recording gift card breakage income to recognize breakage income and derecognize the gift card liability for unredeemed gift cards in proportion to actual redemptions of gift cards ("Proportional Method"). We believe the Proportional Method is preferable to the Remote Method as it better reflects the gift card earnings process resulting in the recognition of gift card breakage income over the period of gift card redemptions (i.e., over the performance period). In accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, we concluded that this accounting change represented a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle and accordingly, accounted for the change as a change in estimate following a cumulative catch-up method. As a result, the cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded at the end of the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012 resulted in an additional $14,969,000 of gift card breakage income under the Proportional Method. We will continue to review historical gift card redemption information at each reporting period to assess the continued appropriateness of the gift card breakage rates and pattern of redemption.

        On February 7, 2012, we launched a cash tender offer to purchase up to $160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior

34


Table of Contents

Subordinated Notes due 2014 ("Notes due 2014"). On February 21, 2012, holders of $108,955,000 aggregate principal amount of our Notes due 2014 tendered pursuant to the cash tender offer. On February 22, 2012, we accepted for purchase $58,063,000 aggregate principal amount for total consideration equal to (i) $972.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of notes validly tendered plus (ii) $30 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes validly tendered. On March 7, 2012 we accepted for purchase the remaining $50,892,000 aggregate principal amount of our Notes due 2014 tendered on February 21, 2012 for total consideration equal to (i) $972.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of notes validly tendered plus (ii) $30 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes validly tendered. We also accepted $10,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes due 2014 tendered after February 21, 2012 for total consideration equal to $972.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes validly tendered. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of $640,000 related to the cash tender offer and redeemed our Notes due 2014 during the fifty-two weeks ended March 29, 2012. On March 7, 2012, we announced our intent to redeem $51,035,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes due 2014 at a price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount such that an aggregate of $160,000,000 of Notes due 2014 would be retired through the tender offer and redemption. On April 6, 2012, we completed the redemption of $51,035,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes due 2014 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        On February 22, 2012, we entered into an incremental amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to which we borrowed the Term Loan due 2018, the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand, were used to fund the cash tender offer and redemption of the Notes due 2014 and to repay our existing Term Loan due 2013. The Term Loan due 2018 was issued under the Senior Secured Credit Facility for $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount and net proceeds received were $297,000,000. The Term Loan due 2018 requires repayments of principal of 1% per annum and the remaining principal payable upon maturity on February 22, 2018. The Term Loan due 2018 bears interest at 4.25% as of March 29, 2012, which is based on LIBOR plus 3.25% and subject to a 1.00% minimum LIBOR rate. On February 22, 2012, we redeemed the outstanding Term Loan due 2013 at a redemption price of 100% of the then outstanding aggregate principal balance of $140,657,000. The Term Loan due 2013 bore interest at 2.0205% on February 22, 2012, which was based on LIBOR plus 1.75%. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of the Term Loan due 2013 of $383,000, during the fifty-two weeks ended March 29, 2012.

        We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used in our industry. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) from continuing operations plus (i) income tax provisions (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include any cash distributions of earnings from our equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

(2)
Cash distributions from non-consolidated entities were included in our Adjusted EBITDA presentation. The presentation reflects how our management evaluates our Adjusted EBITDA performance and is consistent with treatment in our various debt covenant calculations.

(3)
Other expense for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012 is primarily due to expenses on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our Notes due 2014 of $640,000 and expenses related to the redemption and modification of the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $383,000.

        Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) 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.

        Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

    does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

    does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

    does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

38


Table of Contents

    excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;

    does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and

    does not reflect management fees that were paid to our sponsors.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and Thirteen Weeks Ended March 29, 2012

        Revenues.    Total revenues decreased 9.2%, or $58,641,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. Admissions revenues decreased 10.1%, or $42,942,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, primarily due to an 11.3% decrease in attendance, partially offset by a 1.2% increase in average ticket prices. Total admissions revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $2,488,000 during the first quarter of calendar 2013 related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs compared to $66,000 during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to an increase in ticket prices for standard 2D film and the impact of the decrease in net deferral of admission revenue related to AMC Stubs, partially offset by a decrease in attendance for premium format film product. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the first quarter of calendar 2012 and before giving effect to the net deferral of admissions revenues due to the AMC Stubs guest frequency program) decreased 13.2%, or $55,882,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, due to the decrease in attendance. Concessions revenues decreased 2.1%, or $3,662,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, due to the decrease in attendance, partially offset by the decrease in net deferral of concession revenues related to the AMC Stubs guest frequency program and a 10.4% increase in average concessions per patron. The increase in concessions per patron includes the impact of the decrease in net deferral of concession revenue related to AMC Stubs, concession price increases and the opening of new concession stands with broader and more diverse food and beverage offerings. Total concessions revenues were reduced by a net amount of $190,000 and $2,565,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, respectively, related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs and deferred to be recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. Other theatre revenues decreased 30.8%, or $12,037,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, primarily due to declines in gift card breakage income and packaged ticket breakage, partially offset by increases in advertising revenues and internet ticket fees. Other theatre revenues for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012 was impacted by a change in method of recognizing gift card breakage income from the Remote Method to the Proportional Method, which included a cumulative catch-up of $14,969,000 income recognized as a result of the accounting change. The decrease in breakage income on packaged tickets of $2,858,000 was due to fair value accounting as a result of the Merger. We will not recognize any breakage income on packaged tickets until 18 months after the date of the Merger under the Remote Method.

        Operating costs and expenses.    Operating costs and expenses decreased 7.2%, or $43,158,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. Film exhibition costs decreased 13.5%, or $29,867,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, primarily due to the decrease in admissions revenues and the decrease in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admission revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 50.0% in the current period and 51.9% in the prior period. Concession costs increased 2.6%, or $578,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012 due to the increase in concession costs as a percentage of concession revenues, partially offset by the decrease in concession

Table of Contents

revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 13.8% in the current period compared with 13.2% in the prior period, primarily due to concession cost increases, size increases and a shift in product mix to premium items that generate higher sales and lower percentage margins. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 28.4% in the current period as compared to 26.9% in the prior period, primarily due to increases in property taxes and increases in theatre salaries as a percentage of revenues. In addition, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were lower in the prior period due to the increase in other theatre revenues of $14,969,000, resulting from a change in an accounting method of recognizing gift card breakage income. Rent expense increased 2.8%, or $3,087,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, primarily from increases in common area maintenance expenses due to snow removal and a greater number of theatres operated due primarily to acquisitions.

General and Administrative Expense:

        Merger, acquisition and transaction costs.    Merger, acquisition and transaction costs were $947,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,443,000 during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. Prior year costs primarily consisted of costs related to the Merger.

        Management fees.    Management fees decreased $1,250,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. Management fees of $1,250,000 were paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services through the date of the Merger. Subsequent to the Merger, these management fees have ceased.

        Other.    Other general and administrative expense increased 3.8%, or $602,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, due primarily to increases in expenses for company meetings, legal costs, and abandoned projects, partially offset by decreases in incentive compensation expense.

        Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization decreased 14.8%, or $8,385,000, compared to the prior period due primarily to a decline in asset retirements from the prior year of $6,120,000 and a change in basis and asset lives for intangible assets as a result of "push down" accounting due to the Merger of $2,130,000. Additionally, the impact of the purchase price allocation for the Merger indicated the fair value of our property, net, was greater than the Predecessor's carrying value, and we also adjusted certain asset lives to reflect the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.

        Impairment of long-lived assets.    During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, we recognized an impairment loss of $285,000 on three theatres with 33 screens (in Arkansas, Maryland and Utah), which was related to property, net.

        Other expense.    Other expense for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012 is comprised of expenses on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our Notes due 2014 of $640,000 and expenses related to the redemption and modification of the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $383,000.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense decreased 16.4%, or $7,024,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, primarily due to the redemptions of Notes due 2014 in the prior year and the accretion of premiums and elimination of amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts recorded as a result of the Merger, partially offset by increases in indebtedness and the related interest expense due to the issuance of our Term Loan due 2018 on February 22, 2012.

        Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities.    Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities were $546,000 in the current period compared to $10,695,000 in the prior period. The decrease in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities was primarily due to decreases in equity in earnings

40


Table of Contents

from NCM and increases in equity in losses related to our investment in Open Road Releasing, LLC, partially offset by an increase in equity in earnings related to our investment in DCIP. Cash distributions from nonconsolidated entities were $10,051,000 during the current period and $12,517,000 during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. See Note 4—Investments for further information.

        Investment income.    Investment income was $3,619,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $25,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. The investment income for the current period includes payments received of $3,677,000 related to the NCM tax receivable agreement which are recorded in investment income for periods subsequent to the Merger. Amounts related to the NCM tax receivable agreement of $3,949,000 were recorded in equity in earnings of nonconsolidated entities in the prior period.

        Income tax provision.    The income tax provision from continuing operations was $3,100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $505,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012. See Note 7—Income Taxes for further information.

        Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net.    In July and August of 2012, we sold or closed 7 of the 8 theatres located in Canada and sold one theatre with 12 screens in the UK. In addition, on December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493 screens. The results of operations of the 7 Canada theatres, the one UK theatre, and the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada.

        Net earnings (loss).    Net earnings (loss) were $(10,258,000) and $727,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 29, 2012, respectively. Net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012 was impacted by the decrease in attendance, the decrease in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities, and the decrease in gift card breakage income recognized, partially offset by the reduction in depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and increases in investment income and earnings from discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and theatre concessions sales. We have an operating "float" which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods.

        We believe that cash generated from operations, existing cash and equivalents and funds contributed to us by Wanda will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures and debt retirements for at least the next 12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and our 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019") and 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the "Notes due 2020").

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $35,882,000 and $60,070,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in payments

41


Table of Contents

related to annual incentive compensation and film rent payables, partially offset by a decrease in payments related to accounts payables. We had working capital deficit as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $274,177,000 and $268,245,000, respectively. Working capital includes $148,645,000 and $171,122,000 of deferred revenues and income as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We have the ability to borrow against our credit facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments) and could incur indebtedness of $180,987,000 on our Credit Facility to meet these obligations as of March 31, 2013.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        Cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $38,301,000 and $55,740,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $39,350,000 and $54,276,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of maintaining our theatre circuit, technology upgrades, strategic growth initiatives and remodels. We expect that our gross cash outflows for capital expenditures will be approximately $260,000,000 to $290,000,000 for calendar 2013.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada and proceeds of $325,000 related to other dispositions of long-term assets.

        We fund the costs of constructing new theatres using existing cash balances; cash generated from operations or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We may decide to own the real estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

        Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, were $(24,228,000) and $54,451,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, respectively. Financing activities for the current period consist of payments related to construction payables and Term Loan and capital and financial lease obligations.

        During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012, proceeds from the issuance of Term Loans due 2018 were $297,000,000 and deferred financing costs paid related to the issuance of the Term Loans due 2018 were $5,335,000. We repaid the remaining principal balance due on our Term Loans due 2013 of $140,657,000 and made payments to repurchase our Notes due 2014 of $108,965,000 during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2012.

        Reference is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition year ended December 31, 2012 for certain information about our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our Notes due 2019, and our Notes due 2020.

        Each indenture relating to our notes (Notes due 2019 and Notes due 2020) allows us to incur specified permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction. Each indenture also allows us to incur any amount of additional debt as long as we can satisfy the coverage ratio of each indenture, after giving effect to the event on a pro forma basis. Under the indenture for the Notes due 2019 (our

42


Table of Contents

most restrictive indenture), we could borrow approximately $1,020,300,000 (assuming an interest rate of 7.00% per annum on the additional indebtedness) in addition to specified permitted indebtedness at March 31, 2013. If we cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally we can incur, in addition to amounts borrowed under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

        As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2019, and the Notes due 2020.

        On April 30, 2013, we entered into a new $925,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to which we borrowed term loans (the "Term Loan due 2020"), and used the proceeds to fund the redemption of both the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan due 2016 and the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan due 2018. See Note 13—Subsequent Event for further information.

Investment in NCM LLC

        We hold an investment of 16.29% in NCM LLC accounted for following the equity method as of March 31, 2013. The estimated fair market value of these units was approximately $300,653,000, based upon the publically quoted price per share of NCM, Inc. on March 28, 2013 of $15.78 per share. Because we have little tax basis in these units, the sale of all these units at March 31, 2013 would require us to report taxable income of approximately $435,589,000, including distributions received from NCM LLC that were previously deferred. Our investment in NCM LLC is a source of liquidity for us and we expect that any sales we may make of NCM LLC units would be made in such a manner to most efficiently manage any related tax liability. We have available net operating loss carryforwards which could reduce any related tax liability.

Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company has commitments and contingencies for capital and financing leases, corporate borrowings, operating leases, capital related betterments and pension funding that were summarized in a table in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition year ended December 31, 2012. Since December 31, 2012, there have been no material changes to the commitments and contingencies of the Company outside the ordinary course of business.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        See Note 10—New Accounting Pronouncements to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding recently issued accounting standards.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        We are exposed to various market risks.

        Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments.    At March 31, 2013, we maintained a Senior Secured Credit Facility comprised of a $192,500,000 revolving credit facility and Senior Secured Term Loans due 2016 and 2018. The Senior Secured Credit Facility permits borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR. Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. We had no borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2013 and had an aggregate principal balance of $760,338,000 outstanding under the Senior Secured Term Loans due 2016 and 2018 on March 31, 2013. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facility by $1,906,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
