We also managed additional theatres in the U.S., Brazil and Colombia during the year ended December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments: U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.

Cinemark Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated on August 2, 2006. Our principal executive offices are at 3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500, Plano, Texas 75093. Our telephone number is (972) 665-1000. We maintain a corporate website at www.cinemark.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, are available on our website free of charge under the heading “Investor Relations – SEC Filings” as soon as practicable after such reports are filed or furnished electronically to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Description of Business

We are one of the leaders in the motion picture exhibition industry. As of December 31, 2012, we operated 465 theatres and 5,240 screens in the U.S. and Latin America and approximately 263.7 million patrons attended our theatres worldwide during the year ended December 31, 2012. Our circuit is the third largest in the U.S. with 298 theatres and 3,916 screens in 39 states. We are the most geographically diverse circuit in Latin America with 167 theatres and 1,324 screens in 13 countries.

We selectively build or acquire new theatres in markets where we can establish and maintain a strong market position. We believe our portfolio of modern theatres provides a preferred destination for moviegoers and contributes to our solid cash flows from operating activities. Our significant presence in the U.S. and Latin America has made us an important distribution channel for movie studios, particularly as they look to capitalize on the expanding worldwide box office. Our market leadership is attributable in large part to our senior executives, whose years of industry experience range from 16 to 54 years and who have successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.

Revenues, operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $2,473.5 million, $383.7 million and $168.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012 we had cash and cash equivalents of $742.7 million and long-term debt of $1,764.0 million. Approximately $250.0 million, or 14%, of our long-term debt accrues interest at variable rates and approximately $9.5 million of our long-term debt matures in 2013.

Currently, 100% of our first-run domestic theatres are fully digital and we continue to convert our international theatres, which are approximately 42% digital. Digital projection technology gives us greater flexibility in programming and facilitates the exhibition of live and pre-recorded alternative entertainment. We also continue to roll out our Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema, or XD, which offers a premium experience auditorium concept utilizing large screens and the latest in digital projection and enhanced custom sound technologies. The XD experience includes wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens, wrap-around sound, plush seating and a maximum comfort entertainment environment for an intense sensory experience. We charge a premium price for the XD experience. The XD technology does not require special format movie prints, which allows us the flexibility to play any available digital print we choose, including 3-D content, in the XD auditorium. We currently have 109 XD auditoriums in our circuit and have plans to install 40 to 50 more XD auditoriums during 2013.

Table of Contents

During 2010, we introduced our NextGen concept, which features wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens and the latest digital projection and sound technologies in all of the auditoriums of a complex. These theatres generally also have an XD auditorium, which offers the wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screen in a larger auditorium with enhanced custom sound and plush seating. Most of our future domestic theatres will incorporate this NextGen concept. As of December 31, 2012, 109 screens within nine theatres have the NextGen concept. Eight of these nine theatres also has an XD screen.

Motion Picture Exhibition Industry Overview

The motion picture exhibition industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009. Digital projection technology allows filmmakers the ability to showcase imaginative works of art exactly as they were intended, with incredible realism and detail and in a range of up to 35 trillion colors. Digital features are not susceptible to scratching and fading; therefore digital presentations remain clear and sharp for every screening. A digitally produced or digitally converted movie can be distributed to theatres via satellite, physical media, or fiber optic networks. The digitized movie is stored on a computer/server which “serves” it to a digital projector for each screening of the movie and due to the format, enables us to more efficiently move titles between auditoriums within a theatre as demand increases or decreases for each title. In addition, the conversion to digital technology may reduce production and distribution costs as it will eliminate the need to produce and transport multiple film reels.

Digital projection also allows us to present 3-D content and alternative entertainment such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. Thirty-five films released during 2011 were available in 3-D format, 33 films were available in 3-D format during 2012 and at least 32 3-D films are currently expected to be released during 2013. Three-dimensional technology offers a premium experience with crisp, bright, ultra-realistic images that create an immersive film experience for the patron. A premium is charged for a 3-D presentation.

The motion picture exhibition industry is also developing a distribution network that would allow for distribution of all digital content to theatres via satellite. We are participating in a joint venture with certain exhibitors and distributors called Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, or DCDC, whose goal is to establish this satellite distribution network.

Domestic Markets

The U.S. motion picture exhibition industry has a track record of long-term growth, with box office revenues growing at an estimated CAGR of 2.3% from 2001 to 2011. Against this background of steady long-term growth, the exhibition industry has experienced periodic short-term increases and decreases in attendance, and consequently box office revenues. While 2012 industry statistics have not yet been published, industry sources estimate that 2012 U.S. box office revenues were approximately $10.8 billion, an approximate 6% increase over 2011, and an all-time industry record.

Films leading the box office during the year ended December 31, 2012 included The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, Skyfall, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Dr. Suess’ The Lorax, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Men in Black 3, Taken 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, Safe House, The Vow, Brave, Prometheus , The Amazing Spider-Man, Ice Age: Continental Drift and The Bourne Legacy, among other films.

The film slate for 2013 currently includes sequels such as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Iron Man 3, The Hangover 3, Monsters University, Despicable Me 2, Fast & Furious 6 and A Good Day to Die Hard and original titles such as Man of Steel, Oz: The Great and Powerful, Oblivion, Pacific Rim, Lone Ranger and World War Z, among other films.

International Markets

International box office revenues continue to grow. According to MPAA, international box office revenues were $22.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is a result of strong economies, ticket price increases and new theatre construction. According to MPAA, Latin American box office revenues were $2.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing a 24% increase from 2010. (As of the date of this report, 2012 industry data was not yet available.)

Growth in Latin America is expected to continue to be fueled by a combination of robust economies, growing populations, an emerging middle class, attractive demographics (i.e., a significant teenage population), substantial retail development, and quality product from Hollywood, including an increasing number of 3-D films. In many Latin American countries including, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, successful local film product can also provide incremental box office growth opportunities.

We believe many international markets for theatrical exhibition have historically been underserved and that certain of these markets, especially those in Latin America, will continue to experience growth as additional modern stadium-styled theatres are introduced, film product offerings continue to expand and the local economies continue to grow.

Drivers of Continued Industry Success

We believe the following market trends will drive the continued growth and strength of our industry:

Importance of Theatrical Success in Establishing Movie Brands and Subsequent Markets. Theatrical exhibition is the primary distribution channel for new motion picture releases. A successful theatrical release

which “brands” a film is one of the major factors in determining its success in “downstream” markets, such as digital downloads, DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet.

Increased Importance of International Markets for Box Office Success . International markets continue to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues generated by Hollywood films, accounting for $22.4 billion, or approximately 69% of 2011 total worldwide box office revenues according to MPAA. (As of the date of this report, 2012 industry data was not yet available.) With the continued growth of the international motion picture exhibition industry, we believe the relative contribution of markets outside North America will become even more significant. Many of the top U.S. films released recently also performed exceptionally well in international markets. Such films included The Avengers , which grossed approximately $892.3 million in international markets, or 59% of its worldwide box office, Ice Age: Continental Drift , which grossed approximately $716.1 million in international markets, or 82% of its worldwide box office, and Skyfall , which grossed approximately $710.6 million in international markets, or 71% of its worldwide box office.

Stable Long-Term Attendance Trends. We believe that long-term trends in motion picture attendance in the U.S. will continue to benefit the industry. Even during the recent recessionary period, attendance levels remained stable as consumers selected the theatre as a preferred value for their discretionary income. With the motion picture exhibition industry’s transition to digital projection technology, the products offered by motion picture exhibitors continue to expand, attracting a broader base of patrons.

Convenient and Affordable Form of Out-Of-Home Entertainment. Movie going continues to be one of the most convenient and affordable forms of out-of-home entertainment, with an estimated average ticket price in the U.S. of $7.93 in 2011. Average prices in 2011 for other forms of out-of-home entertainment in the U.S., including sporting events and theme parks, range from approximately $27.00 to $77.00 per ticket according to MPAA. (As of the date of this report, 2012 industry data was not yet available.)

Innovation with Digital Technology. Our industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009, which has allowed exhibitors to expand their product offerings. Digital projection allows the presentation of 3-D content and alternative entertainment such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. These additional programming alternatives may expand the industry’s customer base and increase patronage for exhibitors.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively:

Disciplined Operating Philosophy. We generated operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. of $383.7 million and $168.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our solid operating performance is a result of our disciplined operating philosophy that centers on building high quality assets, while negotiating favorable theatre level economics, controlling operating costs and effectively reacting to economic and market changes.

Leading Position in Our U.S. Markets. We have a leading market share in the U.S. metropolitan and suburban markets we serve. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we ranked either first or second based on box office revenues in 24 out of our top 30 U.S. markets, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and Sacramento.

Strategically Located in Heavily Populated Latin American Markets. Since 1993, we have invested throughout Latin America in response to the continued growth of the region. We currently operate 167 theatres and 1,324 screens in 13 countries. Our international screens generated revenues of $777.7 million, or 31.4% of our total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2012. We have successfully established a significant presence in major cities in the region, with theatres in fourteen of the fifteen largest metropolitan areas. We are the largest exhibitor in Brazil and Argentina. Our geographic diversity makes us an important distribution

channel to the movie studios. Approximately 87% of our international screens offer stadium seating. We are well-positioned with our modern, large-format theatres to take advantage of these factors for further growth and diversification of our revenues.

State-of-the-Art Theatre Circuit. We offer state-of-the-art theatres, which we believe makes our theatres a preferred destination for moviegoers in our markets. During 2012, we increased the size of our circuit by adding 129 new state-of-the-art screens worldwide, while closing 41 screens. We currently have commitments to open 287 additional new screens over the next three years. We have installed digital projection technology in 100% of our U.S. first-run auditoriums and approximately 42% of our international auditoriums, with plans to install digital projection technology in 100% of our international auditoriums. Currently, approximately 51% of our U.S. screens and 40% of our international screens are 3-D compatible. We also have eight digital IMAX screens. We currently have 109 XD auditoriums in our theatres and have plans to install 40 to 50 additional XD auditoriums during 2013. Our new NextGen theatre concept provides further credence to our commitment to provide a continuing state-of-the-art movie-viewing experience to our patrons.

Solid Balance Sheet with Significant Cash Flow from Operating Activities. We generate significant cash flow from operating activities as a result of several factors, including a geographically diverse and modern theatre circuit and management’s ability to control costs and effectively react to economic and market changes. Additionally, owning land and buildings for 41 of our theatres is a strategic advantage that enhances our cash flows. We believe our expected level of cash flow generation will provide us with the financial flexibility to continue to pursue growth opportunities, support our debt payments and continue to make dividend payments to our stockholders. In addition, as of December 31, 2012, we owned approximately 18.1 million shares of National CineMedia and approximately 1.2 million shares of RealD, both of which offer us an additional source of cash flows. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $742.7 million.

Experienced Management. Led by Chairman and founder Lee Roy Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer and President, Tim Warner, Chief Financial Officer Robert Copple and President-International Valmir Fernandes, our management team has many years of theatre operating experience, ranging from 16 to 54 years, executing a focused strategy that has led to consistent operating results. This management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.

Our Strategy

We believe our disciplined operating philosophy and experienced management team will enable us to continue to enhance our leading position in the motion picture exhibition industry. Key components of our strategy include:

Establish and Maintain Leading Market Positions. We will continue to seek growth opportunities by building or acquiring modern theatres that meet our strategic, financial and demographic criteria. We focus on establishing and maintaining a leading position in the markets we currently serve. We also monitor economic and market trends to ensure we offer a broad range of products and prices that satisfy our patrons.

Continue to Focus on Operational Excellence. We will continue to focus on achieving operational excellence by controlling theatre operating costs and adequately training our staff while continuing to provide leading customer service. Our margins reflect our track record of operating efficiency.

Selectively Build in Profitable, Strategic Latin American Markets. Our continued international expansion will remain focused primarily on Latin America through construction of modern, state-of-the-art theatres in growing urban markets. We have commitments to build 13 new theatres with 88 screens during 2013 and three new theatres with 21 screens subsequent to 2013, investing an additional $89 million in our Latin American markets. We also plan to install digital projection technology in all of our international auditoriums, which allows us to present 3-D and alternative content in these markets. Approximately 40% of our international auditoriums

are 3-D compatible. We have also installed 39 of our proprietary XD auditoriums in our international theatres and have plans to install approximately 20 to 25 additional XD auditoriums internationally during 2013.

Commitment to Digital Innovation. Our commitment to technological innovation has resulted in us being 100% digital in our U.S. first-run auditoriums as of December 31, 2012, approximately 49% of which are 3-D compatible. We also had 553 digital auditoriums in our international markets as of December 31, 2012, 527 of which are 3-D compatible. See further discussion of our digital expansion at “Conversion to Digital Projection Technology”. We are planning to convert 100% of our worldwide circuit to digital projection technology, approximately 40-50% of which will be 3-D compatible. We also plan to expand our XD auditorium footprint in various markets throughout the U.S. and in select international markets, which offers our patrons a premium movie-viewing experience.

Theatre Operations

As of December 31, 2012, we operated 465 theatres and 5,240 screens in 39 states and 13 Latin American countries. Our theatres in the U.S. are primarily located in mid-sized U.S. markets, including suburbs of major metropolitan areas. We believe these markets are generally less competitive and generate high, stable margins. Our theatres in Latin America are primarily located in major metropolitan markets, which we believe are generally underscreened. The following tables summarize the geographic locations of our theatre circuit as of December 31, 2012.

We first entered Latin America when we began operating movie theatres in Chile in 1993 and Mexico in 1994. Since then, through our focused international strategy, we have developed into the most geographically diverse theatre circuit in the region. We have balanced our risk through a diversified international portfolio, currently operating theatres in fourteen of the fifteen largest metropolitan areas in Latin America. In addition, we have achieved significant scale in Brazil, where we are the largest exhibitor, with 454 screens as of December 31, 2012. We are also the largest exhibitor in Argentina.

We believe that certain markets within Latin America continue to be underserved as penetration of movie screens per capita in Latin American markets is substantially lower than in the U.S. and European markets. We intend to build and expand our presence in underserved international markets, with emphasis on Latin America, and fund our expansion primarily with cash flow generated in those markets. We are able to mitigate cash flow exposure to currency fluctuations by using local currencies to collect a majority of our revenues and fund a majority of the costs of our international operations. Our geographic diversity throughout Latin America has allowed us to maintain consistent revenue growth, notwithstanding currency and economic fluctuations that may affect any particular market. Our international revenues were approximately $777.7 million during 2012 compared to $696.1 million during 2011.

Film Licensing

In the domestic marketplace, the Company’s film department negotiates with film distributors, which are made up of the traditional major film companies, specialized and art divisions of some of these major film companies, and many other independent film distributors. The film distributors are responsible for determining film release dates, the related marketing campaigns and the expenditures related to marketing materials, television spots and other advertising outlets. The marketing campaign of each movie may include tours of the actors in the movies and coordination of articles and features about each movie. The Company is responsible for booking the films in negotiated film zones, which are either free zones or competitive zones. In free zones, movies can be booked without regard to the location of another exhibitor within that area. In competitive zones, the distributor allocates its movies generally based on demographics, the conditions, capacity and grossing potential of each theatre, and licensing terms. We are the sole exhibitor in approximately 91% of the 253 film zones in which our first run U.S. theatres operate. In film zones where there is no direct competition from other theatres, we select those films that we believe will be the most successful from those offered by film distributors.

Internationally, our local film personnel negotiate with local offices of major film distributors as well as local film distributors to license films for our international theatres. In the international marketplace, films are not allocated to a single theatre in a geographic film zone, but played by competitive theatres simultaneously. Our theatre personnel focus on providing excellent customer service, and we provide a modern facility with the most up-to-date sound systems, comfortable stadium style seating and other amenities typical of modern American-style multiplexes, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage in markets where competing theatres play the same films. Of the 1,324 screens we operate in international markets, approximately 80% have no direct competition from other theatres.

Our film rental fees in the U.S. are generally based on a film’s box office receipts and either mutually agreed upon firm terms, a sliding scale formula, or a mutually agreed upon settlement, subject to the film licensing agreement with the film distributor. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Internationally, our film rental fees are primarily based on mutually agreed upon firm terms that are based upon a specified percentage of box office receipts.

We regularly play art and independent films at many of our U.S. theatres, providing a variety of film choices to our patrons. Bringing art and independent films to our theatres allows us to benefit from the growth in the art and independent market driven by the more mature patron and increased interest in art, foreign and documentary films. High profile film festivals, such as the Sundance Film Festival, have contributed to interest in this genre. The performance of films such as Silver Linings Playbook, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom have demonstrated the box office potential of art and independent films.

Food and Beverage

Concession sales are our second largest revenue source, representing approximately 31% of total revenues. Concession sales have a much higher margin than admissions sales. We have devoted considerable management effort to increase concession sales and improve operating margins. These efforts include implementation of the following strategies:

 

   

Optimization of product mix. We offer concession products that primarily include various sizes and types of popcorn, soft drinks, coffees, juices, candy and quickly-prepared food, such as hot dogs, nachos and ice cream. Different varieties and flavors of candy and drinks are offered at theatres based on preferences in that particular market. Our point of sale system allows us to monitor product sales and make changes to product mix when necessary, which also allows us to quickly take advantage of national as well as regional product launches. Specially priced combos and promotions are introduced on a regular basis to increase average concession purchases as well as to attract new buyers. We periodically offer our loyal patrons opportunities to receive a discount on certain products by offering reusable popcorn tubs and soft drink cups that can be refilled at a discount off the regular price.

 

   

Staff training. Employees are continually trained in proper sales techniques. Consumer promotions conducted at the concession stand usually include a motivational element that rewards theatre staff for exceptional sales of certain promotional items.

 

   

Theatre design. Our theatres are designed to optimize efficiencies at the concession stands, which include multiple service stations throughout a theatre to facilitate serving patrons in an expedited manner. We strategically place large concession stands within theatres to heighten visibility, reduce the length of concession lines, and improve traffic flow around the concession stands. We have self-service cafeteria-style concession areas in many of our domestic theatres, which allow customers to select their own refreshments and proceed to the cash register when they are ready. This design allows for efficient service, enhanced choices, impulse purchases and superior visibility of concession items. Concession designs in many of our new domestic theatres have incorporated the self-service model.

 

   

Cost control. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain volume rates. Concession supplies are distributed through a national distribution network. The concession distributor supplies and distributes inventory to the theatres, who place orders directly with the vendors to replenish stock. We conduct a weekly inventory of all concession products at each theatre to ensure proper stock levels are maintained for business.

Pre-Feature Screen Advertising

In our domestic markets, our theatres are part of the in-theatre digital network operated by National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM. NCM’s primary activities that impact our theatres include: advertising through its

 

10


Table of Contents

branded “ First Look ” pre-feature entertainment program, lobby promotions and displays, live and pre-recorded events; including concerts, sporting events and other non-film entertainment programming. We believe that the reach, scope and digital delivery capability of NCM’s network provides an effective platform for national, regional and local advertisers to reach an engaged audience. We receive a monthly theatre access fee for participation in the NCM network. In addition, we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. As of December 31, 2012, we had an approximate 16% ownership interest in NCM. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

In certain of our international markets, we outsource our screen advertising to local companies who have established relationships with local advertisers that provide similar benefits as NCM. The terms of our international screen advertising contracts vary by country. In some of these locations, we earn a percentage of the screen advertising revenues collected by our partners and in other locations we are paid a fixed annual fee for access to our screens, while at our other locations, our in-house marketing personnel handle screen advertising. During 2011, we took the screen advertising function in-house in Brazil, which is being handled by a wholly-owned subsidiary Flix Media Publicidade E Entretenimento, Ltda., or Flix Media. Our Flix Media marketing personnel work directly with local advertisers to generate screen advertising.

Conversion to Digital Projection Technology

The motion picture exhibition industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009, the progress of which is discussed below.

Participation in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners

During 2007, we, AMC Entertainment Inc., or AMC, and Regal Entertainment Group, or Regal, entered into a joint venture known as Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC, or DCIP, to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in our U.S. theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema. Digital cinema developments are managed by DCIP, subject to certain approvals by us, AMC and Regal with each of us having an equal voting interest in DCIP. DCIP’s wholly-owned subsidiary Kasima executed long-term deployment agreements with all of the major motion picture studios, under which Kasima receives a virtual print fee from such studios for each digital presentation. In accordance with these agreements, the digital projection systems deployed by Kasima comply with the technology and security specifications developed by the Digital Cinema Initiatives studio consortium. Kasima leases digital projection systems to us, AMC and Regal under master lease agreements that have an initial term of 12 years.

On March 10, 2010, we signed a master lease agreement and other related agreements (collectively the “agreements”) with Kasima. Upon signing these agreements, we contributed cash and the majority of our existing U.S. digital projection systems to DCIP. Subsequently during 2010 and 2011, we sold additional U.S. digital projection systems to DCIP. As of December 31, 2011, we had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP. As of December 31, 2012, 95% of our 3,916 U.S. auditoriums were digital, 3,515 of which are leased from Kasima and 1,923 of which are capable of exhibiting 3-D content.

International Markets

In our international markets, we continue to convert our auditoriums to digital projection technology. The digital projection systems we deploy are generally funded with operating cash flows generated by each international country. As of December 31, 2012, we had 553 digital auditoriums in our international markets, 527 of which are capable of exhibiting 3-D content. Similar to our domestic markets, we expect to install digital projection systems in all of our international auditoriums.

Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition

We are participating in a joint venture with Regal, AMC and certain distributors called Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, or DCDC, whose goal is to seamlessly distribute all digital content to theatres via satellite.

 

11


Table of Contents

Certain of the related agreements are in negotiation, however, we are currently testing equipment to be used for satellite distribution. The new distribution network will not only change how content is delivered to theatre sites but also enrich alternative product availability, such as live sports, concerts, and opera.

Marketing

In the U.S., we rely on Internet advertising and also newspaper directory film schedules. Radio and television advertising spots are used to promote certain motion pictures and special events. We exhibit previews of coming attractions and films we are currently playing as part of our pre-feature program. We offer patrons access to movie times, the ability to buy and print their tickets at home and purchase gift cards at our website www.cinemark.com . Customers subscribing to our weekly email receive targeted information about current and upcoming films at their preferred Cinemark theatre(s), including details about advanced ticket sales, special events, concerts and live broadcasts; as well as contests, promotions, and exclusive coupons for concession savings. We partner with film distributors to use monthly web contests to drive traffic to our website and to ensure that customers visit often. In addition, we work with all of the film distributors on a regular basis to promote their films with local, regional and national programs that are exclusive to our theatres. These programs may involve customer contests, cross-promotions with the media and third parties and other means to increase patronage for a particular film showing at one of our theatres. We also have smart phone and tablet applications that allow patrons to find theatres, check showtimes and purchase tickets.

Internationally, we exhibit upcoming and current film previews on-screen, partner with film distributors for certain promotions and advertise our new locations through various forms of media and events. We partner with large multi-national corporations in the large metropolitan areas in which we have theatres to promote our brand and image as well as increase attendance levels at our theatres. Our customers are encouraged to register on our website to receive weekly information by email for showtime information, invitations to special screenings, sponsored events and promotional information. In addition, our customers can request to receive showtime information on their cell phones. We also have loyalty programs in some of our international markets that allow customers to pay a nominal fee for a membership card that provides them with certain admissions and concession discounts. In addition, the Company has introduced an iPhone application in Brazil. The application allows consumers to check showtimes and purchase tickets for our Brazil theatres.

Our domestic and international marketing departments also focus on maximizing ancillary revenue, which includes the sale of our gift cards and our SuperSaver discount tickets. We market these programs to such business representatives as realtors, human resource managers, incentive program managers and hospital and pharmaceutical personnel. Gift cards can be purchased for certain of our locations at our theatres or online through our website, www.cinemark.com . SuperSavers are also sold online at www.cinemark.com or via phone, fax or email by our local corporate offices and are also available at certain retailers in the U.S.

We recently created a new offering to our patrons called CineMode. CineMode is an exclusive feature we offer with our smart phone and tablet applications that allows patrons the opportunity to earn rewards while being courteous during the show. Our innovative technology was designed to address texting and other cell phone distractions, which is the number one complaint of movie-goers. While in CineMode, the smart phone screen is automatically dimmed and patrons are prompted to silence their volume. If CineMode is enabled for the duration of the movie, patrons are rewarded with exclusive digital rewards and offers that can be used at their next visit to Cinemark. CineMode facilitates contact with our patrons and this initiative provides an opportunity for us to further improve our relationships with the studios and our vendors via couponing and promotions, such as discounted digital downloads. To date, more than two million patrons have already downloaded CineMode.

Online and Mobile Sales

Our patrons may purchase advance tickets for all of our domestic screens and a majority of our international screens by accessing our corporate website at www.cinemark.com. Advance tickets may also be purchased for our domestic screens at www.fandango.com. Our mobile phone and tablet applications also offer patrons the

ability to purchase tickets. Our Internet initiatives help improve customer satisfaction, allowing patrons who purchase tickets over the Internet to bypass lines at the box office by printing their tickets at home, picking up their tickets at kiosks located at the theatre, or scanning a barcode confirmation from their mobile device at the usher stand.

Point of Sale Systems

We have developed our own proprietary point of sale system to enhance our ability to maximize revenues, control costs and efficiently manage operations. The system is currently installed in all of our U.S. theatres. The point of sale system provides corporate management with real-time admissions and concession revenues data and reports to allow for timely changes to movie schedules, including extending film runs, increasing the number of screens on which successful movies are being played, or substituting films when gross receipts do not meet expectations. Real-time seating, as well as reserved seating, and box office information is available to box office personnel, preventing overselling of a particular film and providing faster and more accurate responses to customer inquiries regarding showtimes and available seating. The system tracks concession sales by product, provides in-theatre inventory reports for efficient inventory management and control, offers numerous ticket pricing options, connects with digital concession signage for real-time pricing modifications, integrates Internet ticket sales and processes credit card transactions. Barcode scanners, pole displays, touch screens, credit card readers and other equipment are integrated with the system to enhance its functionality and provide print-at-home and mobile ticketing. In our international locations, we currently use other point of sale systems that have been developed by third parties, which have been certified as compliant with applicable governmental regulations and provide generally the same capabilities as our proprietary point of sale system.

Competition

We are one of the leaders in the motion picture exhibition industry. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors with respect to attracting patrons, licensing films and developing new theatre sites. Our primary domestic competitors include Regal, AMC and Carmike Cinemas, Inc. and our primary international competitors, which vary by country, include Cinépolis, Cinemex and National Amusements.

We are the sole exhibitor in approximately 91% of the 253 film zones in which our first run U.S. theatres operate. In film zones where there is no direct competition from other theatres, we select those films that we believe will be the most successful from those offered to us by film distributors. Where there is competition, the distributor allocates their movies generally based on demographics, the conditions, capacity and grossing potential of each theatre, and licensing terms. Of the 1,324 screens we operate outside of the U.S., approximately 80% of those screens have no direct competition from other theatres. In areas where we face direct competition, our success in attracting patrons depends on location, theatre capacity, quality of projection and sound equipment, film showtime availability, customer service quality, and ticket prices.

We compete for new theatre sites with other movie theatre exhibitors as well as other entertainment venues. Securing a potential site depends upon factors such as committed investment and resources, theatre design and capacity, revenue and patron potential, and financial stability.

We also face competition from a number of other motion picture exhibition delivery systems, such as digital downloads, DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet. We also face competition from other forms of entertainment competing for the public’s leisure time and disposable income, such as concerts, theme parks and sporting events.

Seasonality

Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most successful motion pictures have been released during the summer, extending from May to mid-August, and during the holiday season, extending from early November through

Table of Contents

year-end. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter this seasonality trend. The timing of such film releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.

Corporate Operations

Our corporate headquarters is located in Plano, Texas. Personnel at our corporate headquarters provide oversight for our domestic and international theatres. Personnel at our corporate headquarters include our executive team and department heads in charge of film licensing, food and beverage, theatre operations, theatre construction and maintenance, real estate, human resources, marketing, legal, finance and accounting, audit and information systems support. Our U.S. operations are divided into sixteen regions, primarily organized geographically, each of which is headed by a region leader. We have eight regional offices in Latin America responsible for the local management of theatres in thirteen individual countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are operated out of one Central American regional office). Each regional office is headed by a general manager and includes personnel in film licensing, marketing, human resources, information systems, operations and accounting. We have a chief financial officer in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, which are our three largest international markets. The regional offices are staffed with experienced personnel from the region to mitigate cultural and operational barriers.

Employees

We have approximately 13,500 employees in the U.S., approximately 10% of whom are full time employees and 90% of whom are part time employees. We have approximately 9,000 employees in our international markets, approximately 58% of whom are full time employees and approximately 42% of whom are part time employees. Some of our international locations are subject to union regulations. We regard our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

Regulations

The distribution of motion pictures is largely regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. The manner in which we can license films from certain major film distributors is subject to consent decrees resulting from these cases. Consent decrees bind certain major film distributors and require the films of such distributors to be offered and licensed to exhibitors, including us, on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, exhibitors cannot enter into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must negotiate for licenses on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis.

We are subject to various general regulations applicable to our operations including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA. We develop new theatres to be accessible to the disabled and we believe we are substantially compliant with current regulations relating to accommodating the disabled. Although we believe that our theatres comply with the ADA, we have been a party to lawsuits which claim that our handicapped seating arrangements do not comply with the ADA or that we are required to provide closed captioning for patrons who are deaf or are severely hearing impaired and descriptive devices for patrons who are blind.

Our theatre operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship, health and sanitation requirements and various business licensing and permitting.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas

We currently have operations in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for segment information and financial information by geographic area.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business depends on film production and performance.

Our business depends on both the availability of suitable films for exhibition in our theatres and the success of those films in our markets. Poor performance of films, the disruption in the production of films due to events such as a strike by directors, writers or actors, a reduction in financing options for the film distributors, or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the film distributors to promote their films could have an adverse effect on our business by resulting in fewer patrons and reduced revenues.

A deterioration in relationships with film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films.

We rely on the film distributors to supply the films shown in our theatres. The film distribution business is highly concentrated, with seven major film distributors accounting for approximately 85% of U.S. box office revenues and 47 of the top 50 grossing films during 2012. Numerous antitrust cases and consent decrees resulting from these antitrust cases impact the distribution of films. The consent decrees bind certain major film distributors to license films to exhibitors on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, we cannot guarantee a supply of films by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors. We are therefore required to negotiate licenses for each film and for each theatre. A deterioration in our relationship with any of the seven major film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films and to negotiate favorable licensing terms for such films, both of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres.

Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres. The major film distributors generally release the films they anticipate will be most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during these periods. Due to the dependency on the success of films released from one period to the next, results of operations for one period may not be indicative of the results for the following period or the same period in the following year.

We face intense competition for patrons and films which may adversely affect our business.

The motion picture industry is highly competitive. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors. We compete for both patrons and licensing of films. The competition for patrons is dependent upon such factors as location, theatre capacity, quality of projection and sound equipment, film showtime availability, customer service quality, and ticket prices. The principal competitive factors with respect to film licensing include the theatre’s location and its demographics, the condition, capacity and grossing potential of each theatre, and licensing terms. If we are unable to attract patrons or to license successful films, our business may be adversely affected.

An increase in the use of alternative or “downstream” film distribution channels and other competing forms of entertainment may reduce movie theatre attendance and limit revenue growth.

We face competition for patrons from a number of alternative film distribution channels, such as digital downloads, DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet. We also compete with other forms of entertainment, such as concerts, theme parks and sporting events, for our patrons’ leisure time and disposable income. A significant increase in popularity of these alternative film distribution channels or competing forms of entertainment could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our results of operations may be impacted by shrinking video release windows.

Over the last decade, the average video release window, which represents the time that elapses from the date of a film’s theatrical release to the date a film is available to consumers at home, an important downstream market, has decreased from approximately six months to approximately three to four months. If patrons choose to wait for an in-home release rather than attend a theatre to view the film, it may adversely impact our business and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Film studios have started to offer consumers a premium video on-demand option for certain films 60 days following the theatrical release, which caused the release window to shrink further for certain films. We cannot assure you that these release windows, which are determined by the film studios, will not shrink further or be eliminated altogether, which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

General political, social and economic conditions can adversely affect our attendance.

Our results of operations are dependent on general political, social and economic conditions, and the impact of such conditions on our theatre operating costs and on the willingness of consumers to spend money at movie theatres. If consumers’ discretionary income declines as a result of an economic downturn, our operations could be adversely affected. If theatre operating costs, such as utility costs, increase due to political or economic changes, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Political events, such as terrorist attacks, and health-related epidemics, such as flu outbreaks, could cause people to avoid our theatres or other public places where large crowds are in attendance. In addition, a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or an earthquake, could impact our ability to operate certain of our theatres, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our foreign operations are subject to adverse regulations, economic instability and currency exchange risk.

We have 167 theatres with 1,324 screens in thirteen countries in Latin America. Brazil represented approximately 13.3% of our consolidated 2012 revenues. Governmental regulation of the motion picture industry in foreign markets differs from that in the United States. Changes in regulations affecting prices, quota systems requiring the exhibition of locally-produced films and restrictions on ownership of property may adversely affect our international operations. Our international operations are subject to certain political, economic and other uncertainties not encountered by our domestic operations, including risks of severe economic downturns and high inflation. We also face risks of currency fluctuations, hard currency shortages and controls of foreign currency exchange and transfers abroad, all of which could have an adverse effect on the results of our international operations.

We have substantial long-term lease and debt obligations, which may restrict our ability to fund current and future operations and that restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions.

We have, and will continue to have, significant long-term debt service obligations and long-term lease obligations. As of December 31, 2012, we had $1,764.0 million in long-term debt obligations, $150.2 million in capital lease obligations and $1,889.2 million in long-term operating lease obligations. We incurred interest expense of $123.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. We incurred $281.6 million of facility lease expense under operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the terms under these operating leases, excluding optional renewal periods, range from one to 25 years). Our substantial lease and debt obligations pose risk to you by:

 

   

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations;

 

   

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows to payments on our lease and debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows from operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other corporate requirements and to pay dividends;

 

   

impeding our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;

 

16


Table of Contents
   

subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our variable rate debt, including our borrowings under our amended senior secured credit facility; and

 

   

making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and competitive pressures and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our industry or the economy.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate positive cash flows and on our future financial results. Our ability to generate positive cash flows is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will continue to generate cash flows at current levels, or that future borrowings will be available under our amended senior secured credit facility, in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our lease and debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to take any of these actions, and these actions may not be successful or permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations and these actions may be restricted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including our amended senior secured credit facility.

If we fail to make any required payment under the agreements governing our leases and indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in them, we would be in default, and as a result, our debt holders would have the ability to require that we immediately repay our outstanding indebtedness and the lenders under our amended senior secured credit facility could terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings. We could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in the loss of your investment. The acceleration of our indebtedness under one agreement may permit acceleration of indebtedness under other agreements that contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our indebtedness or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt holders require immediate payment, we may not have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness.

We may not be able to generate additional revenues or continue to realize value from our investment in NCM.

In 2005, we joined Regal and AMC as founding members of NCM, a provider of digital advertising content and digital non-film event content. As of December 31, 2012, we had an ownership interest in NCM of approximately 16%. We receive a monthly theatre access fee under our Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM and we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company received approximately $5.9 million and $7.1 million in other revenues from NCM, respectively, and $24.2 million and $20.8 million in cash distributions in excess of our investment in NCM, respectively. Cinema advertising is a small component of the U.S. advertising market and therefore, NCM competes with larger, established and well known media platforms such as broadcast radio and television, cable and satellite television, outdoor advertising and Internet portals. NCM also competes with other cinema advertising companies and with hotels, conference centers, arenas, restaurants and convention facilities for its non-film related events to be shown or held in our auditoriums. In-theatre advertising may not continue to attract advertisers or NCM’s in-theatre advertising format may not continue to be received favorably by theatre patrons. If NCM is unable to continue to generate consistent advertising revenues, its results of operations may be adversely affected and our investment in and distributions and revenues from NCM may be adversely impacted.

We are subject to uncertainties related to digital cinema, including insufficient financing to obtain digital projectors and insufficient supply of digital projectors for our international locations.

We began a roll-out of digital projection equipment in our international theatres during 2009 which has been funded by operating cash flows. There is no local financing available to finance the deployment of digital

projectors for our international theatres on commercially reasonable terms. Accordingly, the cost of digital projection systems and manufacturer limitations may delay our international deployment.

A failure to adapt to future technological innovations could impact our ability to compete effectively and could adversely affect our results of operations.

While we continue to convert our theatres to digital projection technology, new technological innovations continue to impact our industry. If we are unable to respond to or invest in changes in technology and the technological preferences of our customers, we may not be able to compete with other exhibitors or other entertainment venues, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to uncertainties relating to future expansion plans, including our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates or site locations, and to obtain financing for such activities on favorable terms or at all.

We have greatly expanded our operations over the last decade through targeted worldwide theatre development and acquisitions. We will continue to pursue a strategy of expansion that will involve the development of new theatres and may involve acquisitions of existing theatres and theatre circuits both in the U.S. and internationally. There is significant competition for new site locations and for existing theatre and theatre circuit acquisition opportunities. As a result of such competition, we may not be able to acquire attractive site locations, existing theatres or theatre circuits on terms we consider acceptable. Acquisitions and expansion opportunities may divert a significant amount of management’s time away from the operation of our business. Growth by acquisition also involves risks relating to difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We cannot assure you that our expansion strategy will result in improvements to our business, financial condition, profitability, or cash flows. Further, our expansion programs may require financing above our existing borrowing capacity and operating cash flows. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing or that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

If we do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the safe harbor framework included in the consent order we entered into with the Department of Justice, or the DOJ, we could be subject to further litigation.

Our theatres must comply with Title III of the ADA and analogous state and local laws. Compliance with the ADA requires among other things that public facilities “reasonably accommodate” individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to “commercial facilities” conform to accessibility guidelines unless “structurally impracticable” for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. On November 15, 2004, we and the Department of Justice, or DOJ, entered into a consent order, which was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Under the consent order, the DOJ approved a safe harbor framework for us to construct all of our future stadium-style movie theatres. The DOJ has stipulated that all theatres built in compliance with the consent order will comply with the wheelchair seating requirements of the ADA. If we fail to comply with the ADA, remedies could include imposition of injunctive relief, fines, awards for damages to private litigants and additional capital expenditures to remedy non-compliance. Imposition of significant fines, damage awards or capital expenditures to cure non-compliance could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We depend on key personnel for our current and future performance.

Our current and future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management team and other key personnel. The loss or unavailability of any member of our senior management team or a key employee could significantly impair our business. We cannot assure you that we would be able to locate or employ qualified replacements for senior management or key employees on acceptable terms.

We are subject to impairment losses due to potential declines in the fair value of our assets.

We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors when determining whether to impair individual theatre assets, including actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the theatre assets, the theatre assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2010, 2011 and 2012. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Since we evaluate long-lived assets for impairment at the theatre level, if a theatre is directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics or adverse changes in the development or condition of the areas surrounding the theatre, we may record impairment charges to reflect the decline in estimated fair value of that theatre.

We have a significant amount of goodwill. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment using a two-step approach under which we compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step would be performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Fair values are determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2010 and seven and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2011 and 2012. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Declines in our stock price or market capitalization, declines in our attendance due to increased competition in certain regions and/or countries or economic factors that lead to a decline in attendance in any given region or country could negatively affect our estimated fair values and could result in further impairments of goodwill. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of goodwill for all of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values by at least 10%.

We also have a significant amount of tradename intangible assets. Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our tradename intangible assets exceeded their carrying values by at least 10%.

We recorded asset impairment charges of $12.5 million, $7.0 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. We cannot assure you that additional impairment charges will not be required in the future, and such charges may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Notes 10 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

The impairment or insolvency of certain financial institutions could adversely affect us.

We have exposure to different counterparties with regard to our interest rate swap agreements. These transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by one or more of our counterparties to such agreements. We also have exposure to financial institutions used as depositories of our corporate cash balances. If our counterparties or financial institutions become impaired or insolvent, this could have an adverse impact on our results of operations or impair our ability to access our cash.

A credit market crisis may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and may materially impact our operations.

Severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the credit markets could materially impact our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms or at all. The inability to access debt financing on reasonable terms could materially impact our ability to make acquisitions or significantly expand our business in the future.

We may be subject to liability under environmental laws and regulations.

We own and operate a large number of theatres and other properties within the United States and internationally, which may be subject to various foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment or human health. Such environmental laws and regulations include those that impose liability for the investigation and remediation of spills or releases of hazardous materials. We may incur such liability, including for any currently or formerly owned, leased or operated property, or for any site, to which we may have disposed, or arranged for the disposal of, hazardous materials or wastes. Certain of these laws and regulations may impose liability, including on a joint and several liability, which can result in a liable party being obliged to pay for greater than its share, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. Environmental conditions relating to our properties or operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and cash flows.

Our ability to pay dividends may be limited or otherwise restricted.

Our ability to pay dividends is limited by our status as a holding company and the terms of our senior notes indentures, our senior subordinated notes indenture, and our amended senior secured credit facility, which restrict our ability to pay dividends and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, directly or indirectly, to us. Under our debt instruments, we may pay a cash dividend up to a specified amount, provided we have satisfied certain financial covenants in, and are not in default under, our debt instruments. The declaration of future dividends on our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Common Stock, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, limitations in our debt agreements and legal requirements. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our long term debt agreements.

Provisions in our corporate documents and certain agreements, as well as Delaware law, may hinder a change of control.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could discourage unsolicited proposals to acquire us, even though such proposals may be beneficial to you. These provisions include:

 

   

authorization of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval;

 

   

a board of directors classified into three classes of directors with the directors of each class having staggered, three-year terms;

 

   

provisions regulating the ability of our stockholders to nominate directors for election or to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our stockholders; and

 

   

provisions of Delaware law that restrict many business combinations and provide that directors serving on classified boards of directors, such as ours, may be removed only for cause.

Table of Contents

Certain provisions of our 8.625% senior notes indenture, our 5.125% senior notes indenture, our 7.375% senior subordinated notes indenture and our amended senior secured credit facility may have the effect of delaying or preventing future transactions involving a “change of control.” A “change of control” would require us to make an offer to the holders of our 8.625% senior notes to repurchase all of the outstanding notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the purchase. A “change of control” would require us to make an offer to the holders of our 5.125% senior notes to repurchase all of the outstanding notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. A “change of control”, as defined in the senior subordinated notes indenture, would require us to make an offer to repurchase the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. A “change of control” would also be an event of default under our amended senior secured credit facility.

The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Common Stock will continue. The securities markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years and the market prices of the securities of companies have been particularly volatile. This market volatility, as well as general economic or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results could be below the expectations of investment analysts and investors and, in response, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease significantly and prevent investors from reselling their shares of our Common Stock at or above a market price that is favorable to other stockholders. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were the subject of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial costs, liabilities and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

Future sales of our Common Stock may adversely affect the prevailing market price.

If a large number of shares of our Common Stock is sold in the open market, or if there is a perception that such sales will occur, the trading price of our Common Stock could decrease. In addition, the sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional Common Stock. As of December 31, 2012, we had an aggregate of 173,074,817 shares of our Common Stock authorized but unissued and not reserved for specific purposes. In general, we may issue all of these shares without any action or approval by our stockholders. We may issue shares of our Common Stock in connection with acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2012, we had 114,949,667 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, approximately 103,023,739 shares were freely tradable. The remaining shares of our Common Stock were “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may not be resold in a public distribution except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom, including the exemptions provided by Regulation S and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

We cannot predict whether substantial amounts of our Common Stock will be sold in the open market in anticipation of, or following, any divestiture by any of our large stockholders, our directors or executive officers of their shares of Common Stock.

As of December 31, 2012, there were 8,422,431 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, of which 22,022 shares of Common Stock were issuable upon exercise of options outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The sale of shares issued upon the exercise of stock options could further dilute your investment in our Common Stock and adversely affect our stock price.

Legislative or regulatory initiatives related to global warming/climate change concerns may negatively impact our business.

Recently, there has been an increasing focus and continuous debate on global climate change including increased attention from regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. This increased focus may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an as yet unspecified array of environmental matters. Legislative, regulatory or other efforts in the United States to combat climate change could result in future increases in the cost of raw materials, taxes, transportation and utilities for our vendors and for us which would result in higher operating costs for the Company. Also, compliance of our theatres and accompanying real estate with new and revised environmental, zoning, land-use or building codes, laws, rules or regulations, could have a material and adverse effect on our business. However, we are unable to predict at this time, the potential effects, if any, that any future environmental initiatives may have on our business.

Item 2. Properties

United States

As of December 31, 2012, in the U.S., we operated 257 theatres with 3,329 screens pursuant to leases and own the land and building for 41 theatres with 587 screens. Our leases are generally entered into on a long-term basis with terms, including optional renewal periods, generally ranging from 20 to 45 years. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 10% of our theatre leases in the U.S., covering 25 theatres with 189 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of less than six years. Approximately 10% of our theatre leases in the U.S., covering 27 theatres with 228 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of between six and 15 years and approximately 80% of our theatre leases in the U.S., covering 205 theatres with 2,912 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of more than 15 years. The leases generally provide for a fixed monthly minimum rent payment, with certain leases also subject to additional percentage rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. We lease an office building in Plano, Texas for our corporate headquarters. We also lease office space in Frisco, Texas for our theatre support group.

International

As of December 31, 2012, internationally, we operated 167 theatres with 1,324 screens, all of which are leased. Our international leases are generally entered into on a long term basis with terms, including optional renewal periods, generally ranging from 5 to 40 years. The leases generally provide for contingent rental based upon operating results with an annual minimum. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 6% of our international theatre leases, covering 10 theatres with 87 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of less than six years. Approximately 41% of our international theatre leases, covering 69 theatres and 560 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of between six and 15 years and approximately 53% of our international theatre leases, covering 88 theatres and 677 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of more than 15 years. We also lease office space in eight regions in Latin America for our local management.

See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding our minimum lease commitments. We periodically review the profitability of each of our theatres, particularly those whose lease terms are nearing expiration, to determine whether to continue its operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes, patent

claims and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance or by indemnification from vendors. We believe our potential liability, with respect to these types of proceedings currently pending, is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes plus fixed charges excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of debt issue costs and that portion of rental expense which we believe to be representative of the interest factor. For the year ended December 31, 2008, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $27.1 million.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties and risk associated with these statements.

Overview

We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. As of December 31, 2012, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments — U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenues and Expenses

We generate revenues primarily from box office receipts and concession sales with additional revenues from screen advertising sales and other revenue streams, such as vendor marketing promotions, meeting rentals and electronic video games located in some of our theatres. Our contracts with NCM have assisted us in expanding our offerings to domestic advertisers and broadening ancillary revenue sources such as digital video monitor advertising, third party branding, and the use of our domestic theatres for alternative entertainment, such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. Films leading the box office during the year ended December 31, 2012 included The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, Skyfall, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Dr. Suess’ The Lorax, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Men in Black 3, Taken 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, Safe House, The Vow, Brave, Prometheus , The Amazing Spider-Man, Ice Age: Continental Drift and The Bourne Legacy, among other films. Our revenues are affected by changes in attendance and concession revenues per patron. Attendance is primarily affected by the quality and quantity of films released by motion picture studios. Films currently scheduled for release in 2013 include sequels such as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Iron Man 3, The Hangover 3, Monsters University, Despicable Me 2, Fast & Furious 6 and A Good Day to Die Hard and original titles such as Man of Steel, Oz: The Great and Powerful, Oblivion, Pacific Rim, Lone Ranger and World War Z, among other films.

Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with our admissions revenues. Film rental costs as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods in which more blockbuster films are released. Film rental costs can also vary based on the length of a film’s run. Film rental rates are generally negotiated on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily fixed at the theatre level as daily movie directories placed in newspapers represent the largest component of advertising costs. The monthly cost of these advertisements is based on, among other things, the size of the directory and the frequency and size of the newspaper’s circulation.

Concession supplies expense is variable in nature and fluctuates with our concession revenues. We purchase concession supplies to replace units sold. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain volume rates.

Although salaries and wages include a fixed cost component (i.e. the minimum staffing costs to operate a theatre facility during non-peak periods), salaries and wages move in relation to revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to respond to changes in attendance.

Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to percentage rent only while others are subject to percentage rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. Facility lease expense as a percentage of revenues is also affected by the number of theatres under operating leases, the number of theatres under capital leases and the number of fee-owned theatres.

Utilities and other costs include certain costs that have both fixed and variable components such as utilities, property taxes, janitorial costs, repairs and maintenance and security services.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. As such, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported consolidated financial results, include the following:

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. We record proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognize admissions or concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. We recognize unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, we consider the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity.

Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are generally established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time. Our advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to monthly percentage rent only, which is accrued each month based on actual revenues. Certain of our other theatres require payment of percentage rent in addition to fixed monthly rent if an annual target revenue level is achieved. Percentage rent expense is estimated and recorded for these theatres on a monthly basis if the theatre’s historical performance or forecasted performance indicates that the annual target revenue level will be reached. Once annual revenues are known, which is generally at the end of the year, the percentage rent expense is adjusted at that time. We record the fixed minimum rent payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Theatre properties and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In estimating the useful lives of our theatre properties and equipment, we have relied upon our experience with such assets and our historical replacement period. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions and adjust them as necessary. Adjustments to the expected lives of assets are accounted for on a prospective basis through depreciation expense. Leasehold improvements for which we pay and to which we have title are amortized over the lesser of useful life or the lease term.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors including the following to determine whether to impair individual theatre assets:

 

   

actual theatre level cash flows;

 

   

future years budgeted theatre level cash flows;

 

   

theatre property and equipment carrying values;

 

   

amortizing intangible asset carrying values;

 

   

the age of a recently built theatre;

 

   

competitive theatres in the marketplace;

 

   

the impact of recent ticket price changes;

 

   

available lease renewal options; and

 

   

other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets.

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and a period of approximately twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, we then compare the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The long-lived asset impairment charges related to theatre properties recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and have allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of our sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of our eight international countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit). The evaluation is a two-step approach requiring us to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2010 and seven and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2011 and 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of goodwill for all of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%.

 

29


Table of Contents

Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our tradename intangible assets exceeded their carrying values by at least 10%.

Income Taxes

We use an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: We determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). We accrue interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions.

Accounting for Investment in National CineMedia, LLC and Related Agreements

We have an investment in NCM. NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events. Upon joining NCM, the Company and NCM entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to the Company’s theatres. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc., or “NCM Inc.”, a newly formed entity that serves as a member and the sole manager of NCM, completed an initial public offering of its common stock. In connection with the NCM Inc. initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the Exhibitor Services Agreement, or ESA, with NCM and received proceeds related to the modification of the ESA and the Company’s sale of certain of its shares in NCM. The ESA modification reflected a shift from circuit share expense under the prior Exhibitor Services Agreement, which obligated NCM to pay the Company a percentage of revenue, to a monthly theatre access fee, which significantly reduced the contractual amounts paid to the Company by NCM. The Company recorded the proceeds related to the ESA modification as deferred revenue, which is being amortized into other revenues over the life of the agreement using the units of revenue method. As a result of the proceeds received as part of the NCM, Inc. initial public offering, the Company had a negative basis in its original membership units in NCM (referred to herein as its Tranche 1 Investment). The Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company recognizes equity in earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and Cinemark, AMC and Regal, collectively referred to as its Founding Members, annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. To account for the receipt of additional common units under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition ) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14, which indicates that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. The Company concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the common unit adjustments equates to making additional investments in National CineMedia. The Company evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in National CineMedia and the assets exchanged for these additional units and has determined that the right to use its incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. The Company accounts for these additional common units (referred to herein as its Tranche 2 Investment) as a separate investment than its Tranche 1 Investment. The common units received are recorded at fair value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the remaining term of the ESA. The Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to its Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of equity in income (loss) of affiliates and distributions received related to its Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of its investment basis.

Recent Developments

Dividend Declaration

On February 12, 2013, our board of directors declared a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $0.21 per common share payable to stockholders of record on March 4, 2013. The dividend will be paid on March 15, 2013.

Disposition of Mexican Subsidiaries

During February 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Grupo Cinemex, S.A. De C.V. pursuant to which we will sell our Mexican subsidiaries, which consist of 31 theatres and 290 screens. The sales price, which will be paid in Mexican pesos and is subject to certain closing date adjustments, will be approximately $125.0 million, based on the exchange rate on the date of this report. The transaction, which is subject to review by the Mexican Federal Competition Commission, is expected to close during the second half of 2013.

U.S . The increase in admissions revenues of $66.0 million was primarily attributable to a 3.2% increase in attendance and a 3.1% increase in average ticket price from $6.52 for 2011 to $6.72 for 2012. The increase in concession revenues of $42.8 million was primarily attributable to the 3.2% increase in attendance and a 5.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.18 for 2011 to $3.34 for 2012. The increase in attendance was primarily due to new theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to price increases and an increase in 3-D and XD ticket sales. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales and price increases.

 

 

International . The increase in admissions revenues of $42.8 million was primarily attributable to a 12.6% increase in attendance, partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in average ticket price from $4.93 for 2011 to $4.80 for 2012. The increase in concession revenues of $31.8 million was primarily attributable to the 12.6% increase in attendance and a 3.2% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.18 for 2011 to $2.25 for 2012. The increase in attendance was primarily due to new theatres, including the ten theatres in Argentina acquired during August 2011. The decrease in average ticket price was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate, partially offset by price increases. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to price increases, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The 10.7% increase in other revenues was primarily due to increased screen advertising revenues in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs were $610.5 million, or 55.5% of admissions revenues, for 2012 compared to $574.2 million, or 55.6% of admissions revenues, for 2011. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $36.3 million was primarily due to the $66.0 million increase in admissions revenues. Concession supplies expense was $71.1 million, or 13.0% of concession revenues, for 2012 compared to $64.0 million, or 12.7% of concession revenues, for 2011. The increase in the concession supplies rate was primarily due to increases in inventory procurement costs.

Salaries and wages increased to $174.2 million for 2012 from $167.5 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres. Facility lease expense increased to $191.1 million for 2012 from $185.8 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres. Utilities and other costs increased to $182.9 million for 2012 from $174.5 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres, increased equipment lease and personal property tax expenses related to digital and 3-D equipment, increased security expense and increased repairs and maintenance expense.

 

 

International. Film rentals and advertising costs were $234.6 million, or 48.8% of admissions revenues, for 2012 compared to $224.4 million, or 51.2% of admissions revenues, for 2011. The decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate is primarily due to the impact of the increased virtual print fees that we earn from studios on certain films played in our international locations. Concession supplies expense was $52.4 million, or 23.3% of concession revenues, for 2012 compared to $48.1 million, or 24.9% of concession revenues, for 2011. The decrease in the concessions supplies rate is due to the mix of products sold during 2012 compared to 2011 and the impact of concession price increases. Each of the expenses previously discussed were also impacted by the change in exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

Salaries and wages increased to $73.2 million for 2012 from $59.0 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres, including the ten theatres in Argentina acquired during August 2011 and increased wage rates. Facility lease expense was $90.5 million for 2012 and 2011. Utilities and other costs increased to $97.8 million for 2012 from $85.2 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres, including the ten theatres in Argentina acquired during August 2011, increased janitorial costs and increased screen advertising commissions and related expenses. Each of the expenses previously discussed were also impacted by the change in exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $148.6 million for 2012 from $127.6 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and incentive compensation expense of approximately $7.7 million, increased share based awards compensation expense of $5.4 million, increased professional fees of $1.8 million and additional overhead expenses associated with the ten theatres in Argentina acquired in August 2011.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of favorable/ unfavorable leases, was $147.7 million for 2012 compared to $154.4 million for 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of accelerated depreciation taken on our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems that were replaced with digital projection systems during 2011. We recorded approximately $10.6 million of depreciation expense related to our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems during 2011. Our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $3.0 million for 2012 compared to $7.0 million for 2011. Impairment charges for 2012 were related to theatre properties, impacting fourteen of our twenty-four reporting units. Impairment charges for 2011 were related to theatre properties, impacting fourteen of our twenty-four reporting units. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented were specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Notes 10 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $12.2 million during 2012 compared to $8.8 million during 2011. The loss recorded during 2012 included a $6.7 million lease termination reserve for a closed theatre and the retirement of certain theatre equipment that was replaced during

the year. The loss recorded during 2011 included a loss of $2.3 million related to a settlement for a previously terminated interest rate swap agreement, a loss of $1.0 million related to the sale of digital projection systems to DCIP and the write-off of theatre properties and equipment primarily as a result of theatre remodels.

Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $123.7 million for 2012 compared to $123.1 million for 2011. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our long-term debt.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt . We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $5.6 million during 2012 related to the amendment and restatement of our senior secured credit facility. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $4.9 million during 2011 related to the prepayment of approximately $157.2 million of the unextended portion of our term loan debt. The loss for the 2011 period included the write-off of $2.2 million of unamortized debt issue costs related to the portion of the term loan debt that was prepaid and the reclassification of $2.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as a result of our determination that quarterly interest payments hedged by certain of our interest rate swap agreements are no longer probable to occur. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our long-term debt.

Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions received from NCM of $20.8 million during 2012 and $24.2 million during 2011, which were in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 Investment. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Loss on Marketable Securities — RealD. We recorded a loss on our investment in RealD of $12.6 million during 2011 due to an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment. The loss recorded represented the cumulative net unrealized holding losses we had previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These cumulative net unrealized holding losses were recognized as a loss during 2011 due to the length of time and extent to which RealD’s stock price had been below our basis in the stock. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

Equity in Income of Affiliates. We recorded equity in income of affiliates of $13.1 million during 2012 and $5.7 million during 2011. The equity in income of affiliates recorded during 2012 primarily included approximately $4.4 million of income related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements) and approximately $8.9 million of income related to our equity investment in DCIP (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). The equity in income of affiliates recorded during 2011 primarily included approximately $5.4 million of income related to our equity investment in NCM and approximately $0.5 million of income related to our equity investment in DCIP.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $125.4 million was recorded for 2012 compared to $73.1 million recorded for 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 was 42.2%. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 35.5%. See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements.

U.S . The decrease in admissions revenues of $11.1 million was primarily attributable to a 1.7% decrease in attendance, partially offset by a 0.6% increase in average ticket price from $6.48 for 2010 to $6.52 for 2011. The increase in concession revenues of $15.5 million was primarily attributable to a 5.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.03 for 2010 to $3.18 for 2011, partially offset by the 1.7% decrease in attendance. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to incremental 3-D and premium pricing and other price increases, and the increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales and price increases.

 

 

International . The increase in admissions revenues of $77.3 million was primarily attributable to an 11.1% increase in attendance and a 9.3% increase in average ticket price from $4.51 for 2010 to $4.93 for 2011. The increase in concession revenues of $39.0 million was primarily attributable to the 11.1% increase in attendance and a 13.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $1.93 for 2010 to $2.18 for 2011. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to incremental 3-D and premium pricing and other price increases and the favorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to price increases and the favorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The 31.8% increase in other revenues was primarily due to increases in ancillary revenue.

and a decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate primarily due to fewer blockbuster films released in 2011. Concession supplies expense was $64.0 million, or 12.7% of concession revenues, for 2011 compared to $59.1 million, or 12.1% of concession revenues, for 2010. The increase in the concession supplies rate was primarily due to increases in inventory procurement costs.

Salaries and wages decreased to $167.5 million for 2011 from $174.1 million for 2010 primarily due to the 1.7% decline in attendance and operating efficiencies achieved with reduced staffing levels. Facility lease expense increased to $185.8 million for 2011 from $181.9 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres. Utilities and other costs increased to $174.5 million for 2011 from $161.5 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres and increased expenses related to digital and 3-D equipment.

 

 

International. Film rentals and advertising costs were $224.4 million, or 51.2% of admissions revenues, for 2011 compared to $183.1 million, or 50.8% of admissions revenues, for 2010. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $41.3 million was primarily due to the $77.3 million increase in admissions revenues and an increase in our film rentals and advertising rate. Concession supplies expense was $48.1 million for 2011 compared to $38.4 million for 2010, both of which represented 24.9% of concession revenues.

Salaries and wages increased to $59.0 million for 2011 from $47.1 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres, increased wage rates, increased staffing levels to support the 11.1% increase in attendance and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Facility lease expense increased to $90.5 million for 2011 from $73.8 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres, increased percentage rent due to the 23.4% increase in revenues and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Utilities and other costs increased to $85.2 million for 2011 from $78.0 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres, increased expenses related to 3-D equipment and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $127.6 million for 2011 from $109.1 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and incentive compensation expense of $5.0 million, increased share based awards compensation expense of $1.3 million, increased professional fees of $2.1 million, increased service charges of $1.0 million related to increased credit card activity and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of favorable/ unfavorable leases, was $154.4 million for 2011 compared to $143.5 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to new theatres, the impact of accelerated depreciation taken on our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems that were replaced with digital projection systems and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. We recorded approximately $10.6 million of depreciation expense related to our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems during 2011. Our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $7.0 million for 2011 compared to $12.5 million for 2010. Impairment charges for 2011 were related to theatre properties, impacting fourteen of our twenty-four reporting units. Impairment charges for 2010 consisted of $10.8 million of theatre properties and $1.5 million of intangible assets, impacting eighteen of our twenty-four reporting units, and $0.2 million related to an equity investment that was written down to its estimated fair value. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented were specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Notes 10 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $8.8 million during 2011 compared to a gain on sale of assets and other of $0.4 million during 2010. The loss recorded during 2011 included a loss of $2.3 million related to a settlement for a previously terminated interest rate swap

agreement, a loss of $1.0 million related to the sale of digital projection systems to DCIP and the write-off of theatre properties and equipment primarily as a result of theatre remodels. The gain recorded during 2010 included a gain of $7.0 million related to the sale of a theatre in Canada and a gain of $8.5 million related to the sale of our interest in a profit sharing agreement related to another previously sold property in Canada, which were partially offset by a loss of $5.8 million for the write-off of an intangible asset associated with a vendor contract in Mexico that was terminated, a loss of $2.3 million for the write-off of intangible assets associated with our original IMAX license agreement that was terminated, a loss of $2.0 million that was recorded upon the contribution and sale of digital projection systems to DCIP and a loss of $0.9 million related to storm damage to a U.S. theatre. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for discussion of DCIP.

Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $123.1 million for 2011 compared to $112.4 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest rates on our variable rate debt related to the amendment and extension of our former senior secured credit facility in March 2010 and the refinancing in June 2011 of the unextended portion of our term loan debt outstanding with 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our long-term debt.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt . We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $4.9 million during 2011 related to the prepayment of approximately $157.2 million of the unextended portion of our term loan debt. The loss included the write-off of $2.2 million of unamortized debt issue costs related to the portion of the term loan debt that was prepaid and the reclassification of $2.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as a result of our determination that quarterly interest payments hedged by certain of our interest rate swap agreements are no longer probable to occur. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.

Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions received from NCM of $24.2 million during 2011 and $23.4 million during 2010, which were in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 Investment. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Loss on Marketable Securities — RealD. We recorded a loss on our investment in RealD of $12.6 million due to an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment. The loss recorded represented the cumulative net unrealized holding losses we had previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These cumulative net unrealized holding losses were recognized as a loss during 2011 due to the length of time and extent to which RealD’s stock price had been below our basis in the stock. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

Equity in Income (Loss) of Affiliates. We recorded equity in income of affiliates of $5.7 million during 2011 compared to a loss of $3.4 million during 2010. The equity in income of affiliates recorded during 2011 primarily included approximately $5.4 million of income related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements) and approximately $0.5 million of income related to our equity investment in DCIP (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). The equity in loss of affiliates recorded during 2010 primarily included a loss of approximately $7.9 million related to our equity investment in DCIP (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements), offset by income of approximately $4.5 million related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements).

Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $73.1 million was recorded for 2011 compared to $57.8 million recorded for 2010. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 35.5%. The effective tax rate for 2010 was 27.9%. See Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

We primarily collect our revenues in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of concessions. In addition, a majority of our theatres provide the patron a choice of using a credit card or debit card in place of cash. Because our revenues are received in cash prior to the payment of related expenses, we have an operating “float” and historically have not required traditional working capital financing. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $264.8 million, $391.2 million and $395.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 is lower primarily due to a higher film rental liability at December 31, 2009 attributable to the significant domestic box office performance during the latter part of December 2009, when Avatar was released.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities have been principally related to the development and acquisition of theatres. New theatre openings and acquisitions historically have been financed with internally generated cash and by debt financing, including borrowings under our amended senior secured credit facility. Cash used for investing activities amounted to $136.1 million, $247.1 million and $234.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 included the acquisition of ten theatres in Argentina for approximately $67.0 million (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). Cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the acquisition of one theatre in the U.S. for $14.1 million and an increased level of capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):

During November 2012, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, Rave Cinemas, LLC and RC Processing, LLC (collectively “Rave”), pursuant to which we will acquire 32 theatres with 483 screens located in 12 states. The estimated purchase price is approximately $240.0 million. The purchase price, the amount of which is subject to certain closing date adjustments, will consist of cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for transactions of this type, including Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission antitrust approval. We plan to use existing cash to fund the Rave acquisition.

We continue to invest in our U.S. theatre circuit. We built four new theatres and 59 screens, acquired one theatre with 16 screens and closed four theatres with 37 screens during the year ended December 31, 2012, bringing our total domestic screen count to 3,916. At December 31, 2012, we had signed commitments to open nine new theatres and 111 screens in domestic markets during 2013 and open five new theatres with 67 screens subsequent to 2013. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 178 domestic screens will be approximately $123 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.

We also continue to invest in our international theatre circuit. We built eight new theatres and 54 screens and closed 4 screens during the year ended December 31, 2012, bringing our total international screen count to 1,324. At December 31, 2012, we had signed commitments to open 13 new theatres with 88 screens in international markets during 2013 and open three new theatres with 21 screens subsequent to 2013. We estimate

the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 109 international screens will be approximately $89 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.

We plan to fund capital expenditures for our continued development with cash flow from operations, borrowings under our amended senior secured credit facility, and proceeds from debt issuances, sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $(106.7) million, $(78.4) million and $63.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of dividends declared and paid during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes proceeds of $700.0 million from the amended senior secured credit facility and proceeds of $400.0 million from the issuance of our 5.125% senior notes due 2022, partially offset by the use of a portion of these proceeds to pay off the remaining $899.0 million term loan outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility. See below for further information regarding these transactions.

We, at the discretion of the board of directors and subject to applicable law, anticipate paying regular quarterly dividends on our common stock. The amount, if any, of the dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon our then available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions as discussed below, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors.

We may from time to time, subject to compliance with our debt instruments, purchase our debt securities on the open market depending upon the availability and prices of such securities. Long-term debt consisted of the following as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 (in millions):

Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. amended and restated its senior secured credit facility to include a seven year $700.0 million term loan and a five year $100.0 million revolving credit line, referred to herein as the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. The proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes discussed below, were used to refinance Cinemark USA, Inc.’s Former Senior Secured Credit Facility, also discussed below. We incurred debt issue costs of approximately $12.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the amendment and restatement. The term loan under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in December 2019. The revolving credit line, which was undrawn at closing and remained undrawn as of December 31, 2012, matures in December 2017. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1.75 million are due on the term loan beginning March 2013 through September 2019 with the remaining principal of $652.8 million due on December 18, 2019.

Interest on the term loan accrues at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line is determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement.

Table of Contents

Cinemark USA, Inc.’s obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s capital stock, all of the capital stock of certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Cinemark USA, Inc.’s ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, and repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If Cinemark USA, Inc. has borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit line, it is required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The dividend restriction contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility prevents the Company and any of its subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) the Company is not in default, and the distribution would not cause Cinemark USA, Inc. to be in default, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since December 18, 2012, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc. as common equity since December 18, 2012, (b) Cinemark USA, Inc.’s consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, and (c) certain other defined amounts. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,409.0 million to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the agreement.

At December 31, 2012, there was $700.0 million outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. Cinemark USA, Inc. had $100.0 million in available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit line. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility at December 31, 2012 was approximately 4.0% per annum.

5.125% Senior Notes

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2022, at par value, referred to herein as the 5.125% Senior Notes. A portion of the proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the Former Senior Secured Credit Facility as discussed above and a portion of the proceeds are expected to be used to fund the purchase price for the Rave Acquisition (see Note 5) and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2013. The senior notes mature on December 15, 2022. We incurred debt issue costs of approximately $6.4 million in connection with the issuance during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The 5.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior

secured credit facility. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes.

The indenture to the 5.125% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,118.5 million to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 5.125% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.125% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.6 to 1.

Prior to December 15, 2017, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.125% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After December 15, 2017, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.125% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices described in the 5.125% Senior Notes. In addition, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the senior notes.

Under a registration rights agreement entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the 5.125% Senior Notes, the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries are obligated to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, on or prior to 120 days from the issuance date, pursuant to which the Company will offer to exchange the 5.125% Senior Notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that will not contain terms restricting the transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 210 days from the issuance date, or the Effective Date. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on the earliest practicable date after the Effective Date, but not later than 30 days thereafter, exchange registered 5.125% Senior Notes in exchange for all 5.125% Senior Notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 240 days after the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 210 days after such obligation arises. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for a period of one year after the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering, subject to certain exceptions.

If (a) the Company fails to file the registration statement on or before the date specified, (b) if such registration statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness, (c) if the Company fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effective Date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement or (d) if the date the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the Commission or the exchange offer registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event a “Registration Default”), the Company will pay

additional interest to each holder of the 5.125% Senior Notes. Such additional interest, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default, shall equal an increase in the annual interest rate on the notes by 0.5% per annum.

The amount of the additional interest will increase by an additional 0.5% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. The 5.125% Senior Notes will not accrue additional interest from and after the second anniversary of the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering even if the Company is not in compliance with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. The receipt of additional interest shall be the sole remedy available to holders of 5.125% Senior Notes as a result of one or more Registration Defaults. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease.

7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 3, 2011, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021, at par value, referred to herein as the Senior Subordinated Notes. The proceeds, after payment of fees, were primarily used to fund the prepayment of the remaining $157.2 million of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s unextended portion of term loan debt under its former senior secured credit facility. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on June 15, 2021. We incurred debt issue costs of approximately $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with the issuance.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s other debt. The Senior Subordinated Notes and the guarantees are senior subordinated unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and a guarantor’s future senior subordinated indebtedness; are subordinate in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and a guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including Cinemark USA, Inc.’s obligations under its Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, its 8.625% Senior Notes and its 5.125% Senior Notes; and structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The indenture to the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens.

Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1, and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.5 to 1.

Prior to June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the Senior Subordinated Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior subordinated notes to the date of redemption.

Cinemark USA, Inc. and its guarantor subsidiaries filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 27, 2011 pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the Senior Subordinated Notes for substantially similar registered Senior Subordinated Notes. The registration statement became effective August 4, 2011, and approximately $199.5 million of the notes were exchanged on September 7, 2011. The registered Senior Subordinated Notes, issued in the exchange, do not have transfer restrictions. Approximately $0.5 million of the notes were not exchanged as of December 31, 2012.

8.625% Senior Notes

On June 29, 2009, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $470.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2019, referred to herein as the 8.625% Senior Notes, with an original issue discount of $11.5 million, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458.5 million. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the repurchase of the then remaining outstanding $419.4 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of Cinemark, Inc.’s 9.75% senior discount notes. Interest on the 8.625% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 8.625% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2019. The original issue discount is being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the 8.625% Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the 8.625% Senior Notes was $461.5 million.

Cinemark USA, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2009 pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the 8.625% Senior Notes for substantially similar registered 8.625% Senior Notes. The registration statement became effective and the notes were exchanged on December 17, 2009. The registered 8.625% Senior Notes, issued in the exchange, do not have transfer restrictions.

The 8.625% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 8.625% Senior Notes.

The indenture to the 8.625% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) consummate specified asset sales, (2) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (3) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (4) enter into transactions with affiliates, (5) enter new lines of business, (6) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (7) create liens.

Certain asset dispositions are considered triggering events that may require Cinemark USA, Inc. to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase if such proceeds are not otherwise used within 365 days as described in the indenture. The indenture governing the 8.625% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.5 to 1.

Prior to June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 8.625% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium.

Former Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, Cinemark USA, Inc. entered into its former senior secured credit facility that provided for a seven year $1,120.0 million term loan and a six year $150.0 million revolving credit line. On March 2, 2010, the Company completed an amendment and extension to this former senior secured credit facility to primarily extend the maturities of the facility and make certain other modifications. Approximately $924.4 million of the Company’s then remaining outstanding $1,083.6 million term loan debt was extended from an original maturity date of October 2013 to a maturity date of April 2016. The then remaining term loan debt of $159.2 million that was not extended continued to have a maturity date of October 2013. On June 3, 2011, Cinemark USA, Inc. prepaid the remaining $157.2 million of its unextended term loan debt utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Cinemark USA, Inc. 7.375% senior subordinated notes discussed above. There were no prepayment penalties incurred upon the prepayment of the term loan debt. Subsequent to the prepayment, the quarterly payments due on the term loan were approximately $2.3 million per quarter through March 2016 with the remaining principal amount of approximately $866.6 million due April 30, 2016. The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to the remaining portion of the term loan debt, which accrued interest at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a 2.25% margin per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a 3.25% margin per annum.

The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to or the maturity of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s revolving credit line. The maturity date of $73.5 million of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s $150.0 million revolving credit line had been extended from October 2012 to March 2015. The maturity date of the remaining $76.5 million of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s revolving credit line did not change and remained October 2012. The interest rate on the original revolving credit line accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranged from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum. The interest rate on the extended revolving credit line accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranged from 2.75% to 3.0% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line was determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the Former Senior Secured Credit Facility.

As a result of the prepayment made in June 2011, we wrote-off approximately $2.2 million in unamortized debt issue costs related to the unextended portion of term loan debt that was prepaid. In addition, we determined that a portion of the quarterly interest payments hedged by two of our then current interest rate swap agreements under cash flow hedges and the quarterly interest payments related to our previously terminated interest rate swap agreement were probable not to occur and therefore reclassified approximately $2.7 million of our accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges to earnings, as a component of loss on early retirement of debt. These write-offs, combined with related fees, are reflected in loss on early retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On December 18, 2012, the remaining outstanding term loan of $899.0 million was paid in full with proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes issuance, both of which are discussed above.

Covenant Compliance

As of December 31, 2012, we believe we were in full compliance with all agreements, including all related covenants, governing our outstanding debt.

Ratings

We are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies. The rating scales and methodologies used to derive individual ratings may vary from agency to agency. Credit ratings are issued by credit rating agencies based on evaluations of our ability to pay back our outstanding debt and the likelihood that we would default on that debt prior to its maturity. The credit ratings issued by the credit rating agencies represent the credit rating agency’s evaluation of both qualitative and quantitative information for our company. The credit ratings that are issued are based on the credit rating agency’s judgment and experience in determining what information should be considered in giving a rating to a particular company. Ratings are always subject to change and there can be no assurance that our current ratings will continue for any given period of time. A downgrade of our debt ratings, depending on the extent, could increase the cost to borrow funds. Below are our latest credit ratings, which were published by the respective agency during December 2012.

‘Ba1’ — Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk. The Prime-1 rating indicates the issuer has a superior ability to repay short-term debt.

 

   

‘B2’ — Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk. The Prime-2 portion of the rating indicates issuer has a strong ability to repay short-term debt.

 

   

‘B3’ — Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk. The Prime-3 portion of the rating indicates issuer has an acceptable ability to repay short-term debt.

With respect to the ratings issued by Standard and Poor’s as noted above, Standard and Poor’s defines these ratings as follows:

 

   

‘B’ — More vulnerable to adverse business, financial and economic conditions but currently has the capacity to meet financial commitments.

 

   

‘BB+’ — Considered highest speculative grade by market participants.

 

   

‘BB-’ — Less vulnerable in the near-term but faces major ongoing uncertainties to adverse business, financial and economic conditions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2012-02”). The update provides an entity with the option first to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is not required to take further action. If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption was permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-02 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most successful motion pictures have been released during the summer, extending from May to mid-August, and during the holiday season, extending from early November through year-end. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter this seasonality trend. The timing of such film releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are currently party to variable rate debt facilities. An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest expense relating to our variable rate debt facilities. At December 31, 2012, there was an aggregate of approximately $250.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding under these facilities, which excludes $450.0 million of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s term loan debt that is hedged with the Company’s interest rate swap agreements as discussed below. Based on the interest rates in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2012, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.5 million.

All of our current interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion reported in earnings.

Below is a summary of our interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2012:

(2)  

Includes the 8.625% senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $470.0 million, excluding the discount of $8.5 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our international operations. Generally, we export from the U.S. certain of the equipment and construction interior finish items and other operating supplies used by our international subsidiaries. A majority of the revenues and operating expenses of our international subsidiaries are transacted in the country’s local currency. Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP, require that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If our subsidiaries operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP requires that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency for the subsidiary. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon our equity ownership in our international subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, holding everything else constant, a 10% immediate, simultaneous, unfavorable change in all of the foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed, would decrease the aggregate net book value of our investments in our international subsidiaries by approximately $51 million and would decrease the aggregate net income of our international subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 by approximately $8 million, $9 million and $9 million, respectively.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2012, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control framework and processes are designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control — Integrated Framework . As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, are attached as exhibits to this Annual Report. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, with direct access to the Company’s board of directors through its Audit Committee, have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Company. Their report on the consolidated financial statements is included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Deloitte & Touche LLP has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.

Plano, Texas

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.

Plano, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business — Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The Company also managed additional theatres in the U.S., Brazil, and Colombia during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinemark Holdings, Inc., its subsidiaries and its affiliates. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those affiliates of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and affiliates are included in the consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions, petty cash held by the theatres and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash investments were primarily in money market funds or other similar funds.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable, which are recorded at net realizable value, consists primarily of receivables related to screen advertising, receivables related to discounted tickets sold to retail locations, rebates earned from the Company’s beverage and other concession vendors and value-added and other tax receivables.

Inventories — Concession and theatre supplies inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Theatre Properties and Equipment — Theatre properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Category

  

Useful Life

Buildings on owned land

   40 years

Buildings on leased land

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

Land and buildings under capital lease

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

Theatre furniture and equipment

   5 to 15 years

Leasehold improvements

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.

The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the

Table of Contents

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In thousands, except share and per share data

 

estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and for fee owned properties, the lesser of twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Note 11.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — Goodwill is the excess of cost over fair value of theatre businesses acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of its sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of its eight international countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit). Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step approach requiring the Company to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2010 and seven and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2011 and 2012.

Indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The Company estimates the fair value of its tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of the Company’s tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends.

The table below summarizes the Company’s intangible assets and the amortization method used for each type of intangible asset:

 

Intangible Asset

  

Amortization Method

Goodwill

   Indefinite-lived

Tradename

   Indefinite-lived

Vendor contracts

   Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying contracts. The remaining terms of the underlying contracts range from 1 to 10 years.

Favorable/unfavorable leases

   Based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are realized over the terms of the lease agreements. The remaining terms of the lease agreements range from 1 to 24 years.

Other intangible assets

   Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying agreement or the expected useful life of the intangible asset. The remaining useful lives of these intangible assets range from 1 to 8 years.

Deferred Charges and Other Assets — Deferred charges and other assets consist of debt issue costs, long-term prepaid rents, construction related deposits, lease deposits, equipment to be placed in service, and other assets of a long-term nature. Debt issue costs are amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over the primary financing terms of the related debt agreement. Long-term prepaid rents represent prepayments of rent on operating leases. These payments are recognized as facility lease expense over the period for which the rent was paid in advance as outlined in the lease agreements. The amortization periods generally range from 1 to 10 years.

Lease Accounting — The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a capital lease or an operating lease. If substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have been transferred to the lessee, the Company records the lease as a capital lease at its inception. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. If the lease agreement calls for a scheduled rent increase during the lease term, the Company recognizes the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines the straight-line rent expense impact of an operating lease upon inception of the lease. The landlord is typically responsible for constructing a theatre using guidelines and specifications agreed to by the Company and assumes substantially all of the risk of construction. If the Company concludes that it has substantially all of the construction period risks, it records a construction asset and related liability for the amount of total project costs incurred during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company determines if the transaction qualifies for sale-leaseback accounting treatment in regards to lease classification. If the Company receives a lease incentive payment from a landlord, the Company records the proceeds as a deferred lease incentive liability and amortizes the liability as a reduction in rent expense over the initial term of the respective lease.

Deferred Revenues — Advances collected on long-term screen advertising, concession and other contracts are recorded as deferred revenues. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the advances collected on such contracts are recognized during the period in which the advances are earned, which may differ from the period in which the advances are collected. Revenues related to these advances are recognized on either a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts or as such revenues are earned in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

Insurance Reserves — The Company is self-insured for general liability claims subject to an annual cap. For the year ended December 31, 2012, claims were capped at $250 per occurrence with an annual cap of approximately $2,650. The Company is also self-insured for medical claims up to $125 per occurrence. The

Company is fully insured for workers compensation claims. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company’s insurance reserves were $7,600 and $7,693, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue and Expense Recognition — Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. The Company records proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognizes admissions or concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. The Company recognizes unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, the Company considers the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company’s liabilities for advanced sale-type certificates were approximately $41,611 and $46,063, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenues in the amount of $7,073, $7,846 and $9,093 during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are generally established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, the Company pays the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under a sliding scale formula, film rental is paid as a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time.

Accounting for Share Based Awards — The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value is estimated using either an option-pricing model, consistent with the terms of the award, or a market observed price, if such a price exists. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). The Company also estimates the number of instruments that will ultimately be forfeited. See Note 19 for discussion of the Company’s share based awards and related compensation expense.

Income Taxes — The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including

 

F-11


Table of Contents

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In thousands, except share and per share data

 

resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). The Company accrues interest and penalties on its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Segments — For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company managed its business under two reportable operating segments, U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 23.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translations — The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction gains and losses when changes in exchange rates impact transactions, other than intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, that have been denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

Fair Value Measurements — According to authoritative guidance, inputs used in fair value measurements fall into three different categories; Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company has interest rate swap agreements and investments in marketable securities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis (quarterly). With respect to its interest rate swap agreements, the Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements and under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates as provided by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s fair value measurements for its interest rate swaps use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3. With respect to its investments in marketable securities, the Company uses quoted market prices, which fall under Level 1 of the hierarchy. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2012. See Note 14 for further discussion of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements and Note 15 for further discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements. The Company also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis, primarily in the impairment evaluations for goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. See Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Theatre Properties and Equipment included above for discussion of such fair value measurements.

Acquisitions — The Company accounts for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income. For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist the Company in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts realized. The Company provides assumptions, including both quantitative and qualitative information, about the specified asset or liability to the third party valuation firms. The Company primarily utilizes the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. The Company then uses the information to record estimated fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by Company personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of the assumptions and valuation methodologies utilized by the third party valuation firm.

 

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2012-02”). The update provides an entity with the option first to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is not required to take further action. If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-02 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company considers its unvested share based payment awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, participating securities, and includes such participating securities in its computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings per share for the two classes of stock (common stock and unvested restricted stock) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two class method and the treasury stock method.

5. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisition of Rave Theatres

During November 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, Rave Cinemas, LLC and RC Processing, LLC (collectively “Rave”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire 32 theatres with 483 screens located in 12 states. The estimated purchase price is approximately $240,000. The purchase price, the amount of which is subject to certain closing date adjustments, will consist of cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for transactions of this type, including Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission antitrust approval.

Acquisition of Argentina Theatres

During August 2011, the Company acquired ten theatres with 95 screens from Hoyts General Cinema South America, Inc. in a stock purchase for approximately $66,958 in cash. The acquisition resulted in an expansion of the Company’s international theatre base. The Company incurred approximately $200 in transaction costs, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011. The transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

The following table represents the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

6. INVESTMENT IN NATIONAL CINEMEDIA LLC

The Company has an investment in National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”). NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events. Upon joining NCM, the Company entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, or the ESA, with NCM, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to our theatres. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCMI”), an entity that serves as the sole manager of NCM, completed an IPO of its common stock. In connection with the NCMI initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the ESA with NCMI. The ESA modification reflected a shift from circuit share expense under the prior ESA, which obligated NCM to pay the Company a percentage of revenue, to a monthly theatre access fee, which significantly reduced the contractual amounts paid to us by NCM. The Company recorded the proceeds related to the ESA modification as deferred revenue, which is being amortized into other revenues over the life of the agreement using the units of revenue method. In consideration for NCM’s exclusive access to the Company’s theatre attendees for on-screen advertising and use of off-screen areas within the Company’s theatres for lobby entertainment and lobby promotions, the Company receives a monthly theatre access fee under the modified ESA. The theatre access fee is composed of a fixed payment per patron, initially seven cents, and a fixed payment per digital screen, which may be adjusted for certain reasons outlined in the modified ESA. The payment per theatre patron increases by 8% every five years, with the first such increase taking effect after the end of fiscal 2011, and the payment per digital screen, initially eight hundred dollars per digital screen per year, increases annually by 5%. For 2010, 2011 and 2012, the annual payment per digital screen was nine hundred twenty-six dollars, nine hundred seventy-two dollars and one thousand twenty-one dollars, respectively. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”) and the Company will not be less than 12% of NCM’s Aggregate Advertising Revenue (as defined in the modified ESA), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment. Additionally, with respect to any on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire, the Company is required to purchase such time from NCM at a negotiated rate. The modified ESA has, except with respect to certain limited services, a remaining term of approximately 24 years.

As a result of the application of a portion of the proceeds it received from the NCMI initial public offering, the Company had a negative basis in its original membership units in NCM, which is referred to herein as the Company’s Tranche 1 Investment. Following the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company recognizes equity in earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The Company recognizes cash distributions it receives from NCM on its Tranche 1 Investment as a component of earnings as Distributions from NCM. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution.

Common Unit Adjustments

Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, AMC and Regal, which we refer to collectively as the Founding Members, annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens

operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. To account for the receipt of additional common units under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, we follow the guidance in FASB ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, “Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition”) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14, which indicates that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. We concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the common unit adjustments equates to making additional investments in NCM. We evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and have determined that the right to use our incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. We account for these additional common units, which we refer to herein as our Tranche 2 Investment, as a separate investment than our Tranche 1 Investment. The common units received are recorded at fair value as an increase in our investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the remaining term of the ESA. Our Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to our Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of earnings in equity in income (loss) of affiliates and distributions received related to our Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of our investment basis. In the event that a common unit adjustment is determined to be a negative number, the Founding Member can elect to either transfer and surrender to NCM the number of common units equal to all or part of such Founding Member’s common unit adjustment or to pay to NCM an amount equal to such Founding Member’s common unit adjustment calculated in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. If the Company then elects to surrender common units as part of a negative common unit adjustment, the Company would record a reduction to deferred revenue at the then fair value of the common units surrendered and a reduction of the Company’s Tranche 2 Investment at an amount equal to the weighted average cost for Tranche 2 common units, with the difference between the two values recorded as a gain or loss on sale of assets and other.

During March 2010, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 1,757,548 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of $30,683. Subsequent to the annual common unit adjustment discussed above, in May 2010, one of NCM’s other founding members completed an acquisition of another theatre circuit that required an extraordinary common unit adjustment calculation by NCM in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, the founding member was granted additional common units of NCM, which resulted in dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in NCM. The Company recognized a change of interest gain of approximately $271 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income.

During March 2011, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 549,417 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $9,302.

During March 2012, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 598,724 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $9,137.

7. INVESTMENT IN DIGITAL CINEMA IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS

On February 12, 2007, the Company, AMC and Regal entered into a joint venture known as Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC (“DCIP”) to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in the Company’s theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema.

On March 10, 2010, the Company signed a master equipment lease agreement and other related agreements (collectively the “Agreements”) with Kasima LLC (“Kasima”), which is an indirect subsidiary of DCIP and a related party to the Company. Upon signing the Agreements, the Company contributed the majority of its U.S. digital projection systems at a fair value of $16,380 to DCIP, which DCIP then contributed to Kasima. The net book value of the contributed equipment was approximately $18,090, and as a result, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $1,710, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010. During April 2010, the Company sold additional U.S. digital projection systems with a net book value of approximately $1,520 to Kasima for approximately $1,197, resulting in an additional loss of approximately $323, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010. During 2011, the Company sold additional U.S. digital projection systems with a net book value of approximately $3,777 to DCIP for approximately $2,739, resulting in a loss of approximately $1,038, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has a variable interest in Kasima through the terms of its master equipment lease agreement; however, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Kasima, as the Company does not have the ability to direct the activities of Kasima that most significantly impact Kasima’s economic performance.

As a result of the Agreements, the Company has installed digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres. The digital projection systems are being leased from Kasima under an operating lease with an initial term of twelve years that contains ten one-year fair value renewal options. The equipment lease agreement also contains a fair value purchase option. Under the equipment lease agreement, the Company pays minimum annual rent of one thousand dollars per digital projection system for the first six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement and minimum annual rent of three thousand dollars per digital projection system beginning at six and a half years from the effective date through the end of the lease term. The Company may also be subject to various types of other rent if such digital projection systems do not meet minimum performance requirements as outlined in the agreements. Certain of the other rent payments are subject to either a monthly or an annual maximum. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 3,515 digital projection systems being leased under the master equipment lease agreement with Kasima. The Company recorded equipment lease expense of approximately $1,354, $5,332 and $7,802 during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, which is included in utilities and other costs on the consolidated statements of income.

The digital projection systems leased from Kasima replaced a majority of the Company’s existing 35 millimeter projection systems in its U.S. theatres. Therefore, upon signing the agreements, the Company began

accelerating the depreciation of these existing 35 millimeter projection systems. The Company recorded depreciation expense of approximately $9,423 and $10,604 on its domestic 35 millimeter projection systems during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011. The Company’s domestic 35 millimeter projection systems were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2011.

 

8. INVESTMENT IN REALD

The Company licenses 3-D systems from RealD. Under its license agreement with RealD, the Company earned options to purchase shares of RealD common stock as it installed a certain number of 3-D systems as outlined in the license agreement. During 2010, the Company earned a total of 1,085,828 options to purchase shares of common stock in RealD. Upon vesting in these options, the Company recorded a total investment in RealD of approximately $18,909, which represented the estimated aggregate fair value of the options, with an offset to deferred lease incentive liability. The fair value of the RealD options in which the company vested during the year ended December 31, 2010, as discussed above, was determined using the quoted market price of RealD’s stock adjusted for the lock-up period to which the Company was subject until January 2011, which fell under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.

During January, February and March 2011, the Company vested in an additional 136,952 RealD options in the aggregate by reaching additional target levels, as outlined in the license agreement. Upon vesting in these additional options, the Company recorded an increase in its investment in RealD and its deferred lease incentive liability of approximately $3,402, which represented the estimated fair value of the RealD options. The fair value measurements were based upon RealD’s quoted stock prices on the dates of vesting. These fair value measurements fall under Level 1 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.

During March 2011, the Company exercised all of its options to purchase shares of common stock in RealD for $0.00667 per share. The Company accounts for its investment in RealD as a marketable security. The Company has determined that its RealD shares are available-for-sale securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-35-1, therefore unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until realized. The deferred lease incentive liability recorded as a result of the option vesting events discussed above is reflected in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over the term of the license agreement, which is approximately seven and one-half years. The license agreement has a remaining term of approximately six years.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on its investment in RealD due to the length of time and extent to which RealD’s quoted stock price had been below the Company’s basis in the stock. As a result of the other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reclassified approximately $12,610, which represented cumulative net unrealized holding losses, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company owned 1,222,780 shares in RealD, with an estimated fair value of $13,707. The fair value of the RealD shares was determined based upon the quoted price of RealD’s common stock on December 31, 2012, which falls under Level 1 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company recorded a pre-tax unrealized holding gain (loss) of approximately $9,084, $(21,694) and $3,998, respectively, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

9. SHARE EXCHANGES WITH AND PURCHASES OF NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

During April 2010, the Company’s partners in Colombia (the “Colombian Partners”) exercised an option available to them under an Exchange Option Agreement dated April 9, 2007 between the Company and the Colombian Partners. Under this option, which was contingent upon completion of an initial public offering of common stock by the Company, the Colombian Partners were entitled to exchange their shares in Cinemark Colombia S.A. for shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Colombia Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be exchanged was determined based on the Company’s equity value and the equity value of the Colombian Partners’ interest in Cinemark Colombia S.A., both of which are defined in the Exchange Option Agreement. As a result of the Colombia Share Exchange, on June 14, 2010, the Company issued 1,112,723 shares of its common stock to the Colombian Partners. The increase in the Company’s ownership interest in its Colombian subsidiary was accounted for as an equity transaction. The Company recorded an increase in additional-paid-in-capital of approximately $6,951, which represented the book value of the Colombian partners’ noncontrolling interest account of approximately $5,865 plus the Colombian partners’ share of accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $1,086. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of the shares in Cinemark Colombia S.A.

During November 2010, the Company purchased its noncontrolling interests’ 20% share of Cinemark Panama S.A. (“Cinemark Panama”) for approximately $888 in cash. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45-23. The book value of Cinemark Panama’s noncontrolling interest was approximately $498, therefore the Company recorded an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital of approximately $390. As a result of the transaction, the Company owns 100% of the shares in Cinemark Panama.

During May 2011, the Company purchased its Chilean partners’ 2.6% share of Cinemark Chile S.A. (“Cinemark Chile”) for approximately $1,443 in cash. The increase in the Company’s ownership interest in its Chilean subsidiary was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45-23. The Company recorded a decrease in additional paid-in-capital of approximately $1,402, which represented the difference between the cash paid and the book value of the Chilean partners’ noncontrolling interest account of approximately $917, plus the Chilean partners’ share of accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $485. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of the shares in Cinemark Chile.

Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. amended and restated its senior secured credit facility to include a seven year $700,000 term loan and a five year $100,000 revolving credit line, referred to herein as the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. The proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes discussed below, were used to refinance the Company’s Former Senior Secured Credit Facility, also discussed below. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $12,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the amendment and restatement. The term loan under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in December 2019. The revolving credit line, which was undrawn at closing and remained undrawn as of December 31, 2012, matures in December 2017. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1,750 are due on the term loan beginning March 2013 through September 2019 with the remaining principal of $652,750 due on December 18, 2019.

Interest on the term loan accrues at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line is determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement.

Cinemark USA, Inc.’s obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by

mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s capital stock, all of the capital stock of certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Cinemark USA, Inc.’s ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, and repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If Cinemark USA, Inc. has borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit line, it is required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The dividend restriction contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility prevents the Company and any of its subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) the Company is not in default, and the distribution would not cause the Company to be in default, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since December 18, 2012, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc. as common equity since December 18, 2012, (b) Cinemark USA, Inc.’s consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, and (c) certain other defined amounts. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,409,000 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the agreement.

At December 31, 2012, there was $700,000 outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. Cinemark USA, Inc. had $100,000 in available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit line. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility at December 31, 2012 was approximately 4.0% per annum.

5.125% Senior Notes

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2022, at par value, referred to herein as the 5.125% Senior Notes. A portion of the proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the Former Senior Secured Credit Facility and a portion of the proceeds are expected to be used to fund the purchase price for the Rave Acquisition (see Note 5) and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2013. The senior notes mature on December 15, 2022. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $6,400 in connection with the issuance during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The 5.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively

subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes.

The indenture to the 5.125% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,118,500 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 5.125% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.125% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.6 to 1.

Prior to December 15, 2017, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.125% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After December 15, 2017, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.125% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices described in the 5.125% Senior Notes. In addition, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the senior notes.

Under a registration rights agreement entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the 5.125% Senior Notes, the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries are obligated to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, on or prior to 120 days from the issuance date, pursuant to which the Company will offer to exchange the 5.125% Senior Notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that will not contain terms restricting the transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 210 days from the issuance date, or the Effective Date. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on the earliest practicable date after the Effective Date, but not later than 30 days thereafter, exchange registered 5.125% Senior Notes in exchange for all 5.125% Senior Notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 240 days after the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 210 days after such obligation arises. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for a period of one year after the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering, subject to certain exceptions.

If (a) the Company fails to file the registration statement on or before the date specified, (b) if such registration statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such

effectiveness, (c) if the Company fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effective Date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement or (d) if the date the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the Commission or the exchange offer registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event a “Registration Default”), the Company will pay additional interest to each holder of the 5.125% Senior Notes. Such additional interest, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default, shall equal an increase in the annual interest rate on the notes by 0.5% per annum.

The amount of the additional interest will increase by an additional 0.5% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. The 5.125% Senior Notes will not accrue additional interest from and after the second anniversary of the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering even if the Company is not in compliance with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. The receipt of additional interest shall be the sole remedy available to holders of 5.125% Senior Notes as a result of one or more Registration Defaults. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease.

7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 3, 2011, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $200,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021, at par value, referred to herein as the Senior Subordinated Notes. The proceeds, after payment of fees, were primarily used to fund the prepayment of the remaining $157,235 of the Company’s unextended portion of term loan debt under its former senior secured credit facility. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on June 15, 2021. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $4,500 during the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with the issuance.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of the Company’s or a guarantor’s other debt. The Senior Subordinated Notes and the guarantees are senior subordinated unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and a guarantor’s future senior subordinated indebtedness; are subordinate in right of payment to all of the Company’s and a guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including the Company’s obligations under its Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, its 8.625% Senior Notes and its 5.125% Senior Notes; and structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The indenture to the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,107,400 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 7.375% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company would be required to make an

offer to repurchase the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1, and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.5 to 1.

Prior to June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the Senior Subordinated Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior subordinated notes to the date of redemption. After June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture.

Cinemark USA, Inc. and its guarantor subsidiaries filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 27, 2011 pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the Senior Subordinated Notes for substantially similar registered Senior Subordinated Notes. The registration statement became effective August 4, 2011, and approximately $199,500 of the notes were exchanged on September 7, 2011. The registered Senior Subordinated Notes, issued in the exchange, do not have transfer restrictions. Approximately $500 of the notes were not exchanged as of December 31, 2012.

8.625% Senior Notes

On June 29, 2009, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $470,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2019, referred to herein as the 8.625% Senior Notes, with an original issue discount of $11,468, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458,532. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the repurchase of the then remaining outstanding $419,403 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Cinemark, Inc.’s 9.75% senior discount notes. Interest on the 8.625% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 8.625% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2019. The original issue discount is being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the 8.625% Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the 8.625% Senior Notes was $461,464.

Cinemark USA, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2009 pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the 8.625% Senior Notes for substantially similar registered 8.625% Senior Notes. The registration statement became effective and the notes were exchanged on December 17, 2009. The registered 8.625% Senior Notes, issued in the exchange, do not have transfer restrictions.

The 8.625% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 8.625% Senior Notes.

Former Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, Cinemark USA, Inc. entered into its former senior secured credit facility that provided for a seven year $1,120,000 term loan and a six year $150,000 revolving credit line. On March 2, 2010, the Company completed an amendment and extension to this former senior secured credit facility to primarily extend the maturities of the facility and make certain other modifications. Approximately $924,375 of the Company’s then remaining outstanding $1,083,600 term loan debt was extended from an original maturity date of October 2013 to a maturity date of April 2016. The then remaining term loan debt of $159,225 that was not extended continued to have a maturity date of October 2013. On June 3, 2011, the Company prepaid the remaining $157,235 of its unextended term loan debt utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Cinemark USA, Inc. 7.375% senior subordinated notes discussed above. There were no prepayment penalties incurred upon the prepayment of the term loan debt. Subsequent to the prepayment, the quarterly payments due on the term loan were approximately $2,311 per quarter through March 2016 with the remaining principal amount of approximately $866,602 due April 30, 2016. The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to the remaining portion of the term loan debt, which accrued interest at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a 2.25% margin per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a 3.25% margin per annum.

The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to or the maturity of the Company’s revolving credit line. The maturity date of $73,500 of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s $150,000 revolving credit line had been

extended from October 2012 to March 2015. The maturity date of the remaining $76,500 of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s revolving credit line did not change and remained October 2012. The interest rate on the original revolving credit line accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranged from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum. The interest rate on the extended revolving credit line accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranged from 2.75% to 3.0% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line was determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the Former Senior Secured Credit Facility.

As a result of the prepayment made in June 2011, the Company wrote-off approximately $2,183 in unamortized debt issue costs related to the unextended portion of term loan debt that was prepaid. In addition, the Company determined that a portion of the quarterly interest payments hedged by two of its current interest rate swap agreements under cash flow hedges and the quarterly interest payments related to its previously terminated interest rate swap agreement were probable not to occur and therefore reclassified approximately $2,760 of its accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges to earnings, as a component of loss on early retirement of debt. These write-offs, combined with related fees, are reflected in loss on early retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On December 18, 2012, the remaining outstanding term loan of $898,955 was paid in full with proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes issuance, both of which are discussed above.

Fair Value of Long Term Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily using quoted market prices, which fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. The carrying value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,764,010 and $1,572,221 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,851,246 and $1,622,286 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Covenant Compliance and Debt Maturity

As of December 31, 2012, the Company believes it was in full compliance with all agreements, including related covenants, governing its outstanding debt. The Company’s long-term debt at December 31, 2012 matures as follows:

 

2013

14. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

The Company is currently a party to three interest rate swap agreements that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into any of its interest rate swap agreements because the pay rates and receive rates on the interest rate swap agreements represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time each of the interest rate swap agreements was consummated. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. The changes in fair values are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company reclassified $11,771, $15,929 and $12,979, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings.

The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach and under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates as provided by counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35.

Below is a summary of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 2012:

The Company was previously a party to an interest rate swap agreement that was effective during 2007 with a counterparty that filed for bankruptcy during September 2008 and whose credit rating was downgraded as a result. Prior to the counterparty’s credit rating downgrade, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Subsequent to the counterparty’s credit rating downgrade, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense. The Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement during October 2008. The Company determined that the forecasted transactions hedged by this interest rate swap are still probable to occur, thus the total amount previously reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to this interest rate swap agreement of $18,147 was amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the period during which the forecasted transactions were expected to occur, which was September 15, 2008 through August 13, 2012. The Company amortized approximately $4,633, $4,236 and $2,470 to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

See Note 15 for additional information about the Company’s fair value measurements related to its interest rate swap agreements.

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

 

Level 1

      quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;

Level 2

      other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3

      unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

Below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of December 31, 2012:

The Company also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets (see Note 1 and Note 11 for further discussions). There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period. The fair value measurement for the Company’s investment in RealD transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2011. Previous fair value estimates for the investment were based on RealD’s quoted stock price, discounted to reflect the impact of a lock-up period to which the Company was subject. The lock-up period expired during January 2011; therefore, the fair value

estimates for the investment subsequent to January 2011 were based on RealD’s stock price with no adjustments. See Note 8 for more information on the Company’s investment in RealD. There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

16. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity of $23,682 and $37,698 at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, includes the cumulative foreign currency losses of $11,325 and $31,330, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries, the change in fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements that are designated as hedges and the change in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

All foreign countries where the Company has operations are non-highly inflationary and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

19. CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock — Common stockholders are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock, the Company’s common stockholders are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors. The shares of the Company’s common stock are not subject to any redemption provisions. The Company has no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is effectively limited by its status as a holding company and the terms of its indentures and its subsidiary’s amended senior secured credit facility, which also significantly restricts the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends directly or indirectly to the Company. See Note 13. Furthermore, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries currently have a deficit in retained earnings which prevents the Company from declaring and paying dividends from those subsidiaries.

During April 2010, the Company’s partners in Colombia (the “Colombian Partners”) exercised an option available to them under an Exchange Option Agreement dated April 9, 2007 between the Company and the Colombian Partners. Under this option, which was contingent upon completion of an initial public offering of common stock by the Company, the Colombian Partners were entitled to exchange their shares in Cinemark Colombia S.A. for shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be exchanged was determined based on the Company’s equity value and the equity value of the Colombian Partners’ interest in Cinemark Colombia S.A., both of which are defined in the Exchange Option Agreement. As a result of this exchange, on June 14, 2010, the Company issued 1,112,723 shares of its common stock to the Colombian Partners. See Note 9.

Treasury Stock — Treasury stock represents shares of common stock repurchased by the Company and not yet retired. The Company has applied the cost method in recording its treasury shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company granted 653,229 shares of restricted stock to directors and employees of the Company. The fair values of the restricted stock granted were determined based on the market values of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $21.63 to $22.97 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 5% for the restricted stock awards. Certain of the restricted stock granted to employees vests over three years based on continued service and the remaining restricted stock granted to employees vests over four years based on continued service. The restricted stock granted to the directors vests over one year based on continued service. The recipients of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends and to vote their respective shares, however the sale and transfer of the restricted shares is prohibited during the restriction period.

The Company recorded total compensation expense of $4,928, $6,591 and $10,637 related to restricted stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Upon vesting, the Company receives an income tax deduction. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was $3,272, $5,658 and $9,702, respectively. The Company recognized tax benefits of approximately $1,087, $2,188 and $4,075 related to shares that vested during the years ended December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards was approximately $18,341. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.

Restricted Stock Units — During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company granted restricted stock units representing 396,429, 153,727 and 152,955 hypothetical shares of common stock, respectively, under the Restated Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during a three fiscal year period based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments (as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement). The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, two-thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, 100% of the restricted stock units vest. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be subject to an additional one year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. At the time of each of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 restricted stock unit grants, the Company was not able to determine which IRR level would be reached for the respective three year performance period, therefore the Company assumed the mid-point IRR level for these grants in determining the amount of compensation expense to record for such grants. The fair values of the restricted stock unit awards granted were determined based on the market values of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $18.34 to $21.63 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 5% for the restricted stock unit awards. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards vest.

Below is a table summarizing the potential number of shares that could vest under restricted stock unit awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 at each of the three levels of financial performance (excluding forfeitures):

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors approved a modification of restricted stock unit awards granted to employees during 2008. The Compensation Committee also approved the cancellation and replacement of restricted stock unit awards granted

to the Company’s top five executive officers during 2008. Both the modification and the cancellation and replacement were accounted for as modifications of share based awards. As a result of these modifications, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of approximately $435 during the year ended December 31, 2010, which represented the difference between the grant date fair value and the modification date fair value of these awards for the portion of the service period that had been satisfied at the time of the modification. The service period for the modified awards did not change.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, based upon additional information, the Company determined that the 12.5% IRR level would be reached for the 2008 grant and recorded incremental compensation expense of approximately $823. During the year ended December 31, 2010, based upon additional information, the Company also determined that the 12.5% IRR level was expected to be reached for the 2009 grant and recorded incremental compensation expense of $377 during the year ended December 31, 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, 196,051 restricted stock unit awards vested. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit was converted into one share of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company paid approximately $600 in dividends on the vested restricted stock units, which represented dividends that had accumulated on the awards since they were granted in 2008. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards that vested during the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $4,400. The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1,848 during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to these vested awards. There were no forfeitures of restricted stock unit awards during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, based upon additional information, the Company determined that the 12.5% IRR level was reached for the 2010 grant and recorded incremental compensation expense of approximately $1,609.

The Company recorded total compensation expense of $3,424, $3,101 and $4,433 related to these restricted stock unit awards during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total of 994,671 hypothetical shares of common stock, net of actual cumulative forfeitures of 11,608 units, assuming the maximum IRR of at least 12.5% is achieved for all of the outstanding restricted stock unit awards. As of December 31, 2012, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $4,890, which assumes the high-point IRR level will be achieved for the 2009 and 2010 grants and the mid-point IRR level will be achieved for the 2011 and 2012 grants. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.

The Company reinvests the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of its subsidiary in Ecuador. Accordingly, deferred U.S. federal and state income taxes are provided only on the undistributed earnings of the Company’s Ecuador subsidiary. As of December 31, 2012, the cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries on which the Company has not recognized income taxes was approximately $339,000. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable because of the complexities of the hypothetical calculation.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012:

   $ 15,197      $ 18,660      $ 33,222   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

The Company had $22,411 and $34,475 of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Of these amounts, $16,274 and $30,085 represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Company had $3,751 and $4,576 accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state and foreign jurisdictions and is routinely under audit by many different tax authorities. The Company believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. The Company is no longer subject to income tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2007. The Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major state jurisdictions for years before 2007. Certain state returns were amended as a result of the Internal Revenue Service examination closures for 2002 through 2006, and the statutes remain open for those amendments. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions for years before 2004.

The Company is currently under audit in the non-U.S. tax jurisdictions of Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 tax years. The Company believes that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the Mexico audits will be completed within the next twelve months.

 

22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases — The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and capital leases with terms generally ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to the minimum annual lease payments, some of the leases provide for contingent rentals based on operating results of the theatre and most require the payment of taxes, insurance and other costs applicable to the property. The Company can renew, at its option, a substantial portion of the leases at defined or then market rental rates for various periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments throughout the lease term. A liability for deferred lease expenses of $34,466 and $38,297 at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, has been provided

Employment Agreements — The Company has three-year employment agreements with Lee Roy Mitchell, Timothy Warner, Robert Copple, Michael Cavalier, and Rob Carmony that are subject to automatic extensions for a one-year period, unless the employment agreements are terminated. Effective May 25, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Steve Bunnell that has an initial term of two years subject to an extension for a one year period, unless the agreement is terminated. Effective February 15, 2010, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Valmir Fernandes that has an initial term of three years. The base salaries stipulated in the employment agreements are subject to review during the term of the agreements for increase (but not decrease) each year by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Management personnel subject to these employment agreements are eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses upon the Company meeting certain performance targets established by its Compensation Committee.

On February 15, 2012, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Alan Stock, announced his retirement. As a result of the retirement, the Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Stock was effectively terminated. Mr. Stock served in a transitional role until May 1, 2012 and then became a consultant for the Company for a two-year period that ends April 30, 2014. Mr. Stock has retained his share based awards under their original vesting terms.

Upon Mr. Stock’s retirement, the Company appointed Tim Warner as its CEO. Mr. Warner previously served as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. In connection with his appointment as the CEO, the Company and Mr. Warner entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of

March 30, 2012 (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the Employment Agreement dated June 16, 2008 by and between the Company and Mr. Warner. The term of the Amended and Restated Agreement goes through April 1, 2014 and may be extended at the Company’s election for an additional one-year period upon six months prior written notice by the Company to Mr. Warner. The base salary stipulated in the Amended and Restated Agreement is subject to review during the term of the agreement for increase (but not decrease) each year by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Mr. Warner is eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses upon the Company meeting certain performance targets established by its Compensation Committee and will continue to be eligible to participate in and receive grants of equity incentive awards under the Company’s long-term incentive plan.

Retirement Savings Plan — The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of all employees and makes contributions as determined annually by the board of directors. Contribution payments of $2,311 and $2,410 were made in 2011 (for plan year 2010) and 2012 (for plan year 2011), respectively. A liability of approximately $2,500 has been recorded at December 31, 2012 for contribution payments to be made in 2013 (for plan year 2012).

Litigation and Litigation Settlements — From time to time, the Company is involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes, patent claims and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance or by indemnification from vendors. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to these types of proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

23. SEGMENTS

The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments. The international segment consists of operations in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The U.S. segment includes U.S. and Canada operations. (Note that the Company’s only Canadian theatre was sold during November 2010.) Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance or allocate resources between segments.

shall be instructed to distribute to Buyer and Sellers upon receipt of both such presentations) and on one written response of Buyer and Sellers to each such presentation so submitted (which the CPA Firm shall be instructed to distribute to Buyer and Sellers upon receipt of such responses), which determination shall be binding on the parties.

(e) The Cash Purchase Price shall be adjusted by an amount (the “ Purchase Price Adjustment Amount ”) equal to (x) the Final Inventory Amount minus the Final Old Gift Card Liability Amount minus the Final Specified Deferred Revenue Related Liability Amount minus (y) the Estimated Net Current Liability Amount. It is hereby acknowledged that the amount calculated pursuant to the forgoing sentence shall be expressed as a positive, if positive, or as a negative, if negative.

If the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Cash Purchase Price shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount and Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the final determination thereof cause to be paid to Buyer the absolute value of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer; provided that such required payment shall be first satisfied by offsetting such amount against the Closing Date Purchase Price

 

18


Adjustment Holdback Amount (with Seller Representative promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the final determination thereof, causing to be paid to Buyer any amounts in excess thereof) and, in the event that the absolute value of the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is less than the Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback Amount, Buyer shall pay the amount of such shortfall to Seller Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller Representative.

(f) At the end of each fiscal month from and after the payment of the Purchase Price Adjustment until the first fiscal month-end of Buyer following the twenty (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller Representative shall cooperate with each other to determine the amount of any redemptions from and after the Closing associated with Old Gift Card Liabilities and the Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for the excess (if any) of (i) the amount of such aggregate redemptions over (ii) the Final Old Gift Card Liability Amount plus the aggregate amount of allowances for breakage and discounts used in calculating such Final Old Gift Card Liability Amount.

2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price . The Purchase Price and any Purchase Price Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.4 will be allocated in accordance with GAAP, based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which will be determined by the Accounting Firm (the “ Purchase Price Allocation Schedule ”) in consultation with each of Buyer and the Seller Representative. The Accounting Firm will use various methodologies in valuing certain of the acquired assets, including the cost approach, the income approach and the market approach. The nature and characteristics of the assets being valued will determine which approach or approaches are most applicable for valuation purposes. The parties will make consistent use of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule for all purposes, including regulatory and Tax purposes and in all filings, declarations and reports with the IRS in respect thereof, including Internal Revenue Form 8594 which Sellers and the Buyer or Buyer Designee will file with their respective appropriate federal income tax returns to report such allocation. In any Proceeding related to the determination of any Tax, neither Buyer nor Sellers will contend or represent that such allocation is not a correct allocation. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm acting under this Section 2.5 shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers.

9.1 Payments of Transfer or Recording Tax . Buyer is solely responsible for the payment of any transfer, sales, use, recording or value added taxes (including, for purposes of clarity, those with respect to the recordation of the Davenport Deed and any transfer taxes associated therewith) that may be imposed by any Governmental Body in connection with the transfer of the Acquired Assets to Buyer.

9.2 Petty Cash and Inventory Amount . At the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date, Seller Representative (and its Representatives) shall conduct, and Buyer (and its Representatives) shall observe, a physical counting of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and the inventory at each Theater to determine the amount of Petty Cash and the Inventory Amount at each such Theater to be transferred on the Closing Date.

9.3 Employees .

Prior to and effective upon the Closing, Buyer shall make written offers of employment on the terms set forth in Section 9.3(b) and with substantially the same job description, to not less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of all Active Seller Employees. During the Pre-Closing Period, Sellers will make all employees of Rave Cinemas that work at the Corporate Headquarters (the “ Corporate Employees ”) reasonably available to Buyer for employment interviews. At the Closing, Buyer will have the option, in its sole discretion, to attempt to hire any Corporate Employee. To the extent such offers of employment are accepted, upon accepting such offers of employment, effective as of the Closing Date, such Corporate Employees and Active Seller Employees’ employment with Sellers shall terminate. “ Active Seller Employees ” are all Seller Employees, including those Seller Employees on a short-term approved leave of absence pursuant to the leave policies of any Seller, or on vacation or layoff status, but excluding any employees on military leave, short-term or long-term disability or any other type of medical leave or otherwise absent from work on the applicable Closing Date (collectively, the “ Non-Active Seller Employees ”). With respect to Non-Active Seller Employees, if any Non-Active Seller Employee presents himself or herself to Buyer for active employment upon expiration of such Non-Active Seller Employee’s leave, Buyer shall offer, or cause to be offered, employment to such Non-Active Seller Employee upon his or her return to the extent required by Legal Requirements or to the extent otherwise determined by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion. All Seller Employees and Corporate Employees who receive offers of employment from Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) are referred to herein as “ Offer Employees ”.

(b) Terms of Employment . Buyer shall initially provide, or shall cause its subsidiaries to initially provide, all of the Offer Employees who accept offers of employment by Buyer (the “ Transferred Employees ”) with employee benefit plans and arrangements substantially similar to those being offered to other similarly situated employees of Buyer and subject to eligibility requirements. To the extent Sellers are required by Legal Requirement to pay or discharge in cash upon consummation of the Contemplated Transactions any Accrued Vacation Payments earned by Transferred Employees (other than Transferred Employees employed at a Retained Theater), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for such Accrued Vacation Payments upon receipt of sufficient evidence of such payment to such Transferred Employees. Buyer shall assume all Accrued Vacation Payments for those Transferred Employees (it being acknowledged that Sellers

 

48


have agreed to be responsible for the payment of certain costs and expenses of Transferred Employees employed at a Retained Theater pursuant to and in accordance with the Management Services Agreement) to whom Sellers are not required by Legal Requirements to pay or discharge in cash upon consummation of the Contemplated Transactions any Accrued Vacation Payments. Sellers agree that, except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, no changes will be made to Sellers’ vacation policies subsequent to the Agreement Date. Buyer shall assume all visa liabilities and obligations for any Transferred Employees that are both Corporate Employees and foreign nationals.

(c) Employee Benefits . As of the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall, except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, cease to be an active participant under any employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by any Seller or any of its Affiliates and shall be entitled to immediately enroll and participate in the employee benefit plans and arrangements substantially similar to those being offered to other similarly situated employees of Buyer to the extent such Transferred Employees meet the eligibility requirements of such employee benefit plan or arrangement. Buyer shall cause each Transferred Employee to receive credit for service with any Seller or any of its Affiliates and predecessors under any welfare benefit plan, vacation plan, 401(k) plan or severance pay plan established or maintained by Buyer for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) to the same extent credited under a similar plan maintained by Sellers as of the Closing; provided , however , that in no event shall such credit result in the duplication of benefits. In addition, Buyer shall: (A) waive or cause to be waived in the plan year in which the Closing occurs any limitations as to pre-existing conditions, evidence of insurability, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements for Transferred Employees under any health benefit plan of Buyer (except to the extent such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would apply under the then-existing plans in which such Transferred Employees were participating immediately prior to the applicable Closing) and (B) credit, or cause to be credited Transferred Employees for deductibles or out-of-pocket accruals consistent with Buyer’s health benefit plans paid on or prior to the Closing Date during the year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs in satisfying any deductible or out-of-pocket requirements.

(d) 401(k) Plan . Effective as of the Closing Date, the Transferred Employees will cease to participate in any plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code for the employees of Sellers or any of their Affiliates (the “ Seller Savings Plan ”), and Sellers shall cause each Transferred Employee who was participating in the Seller Savings Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date, and who had a positive account balance in the Seller Savings Plan as of the Closing Date, to become fully vested in such account as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, Sellers shall contribute to the Seller Savings Plan for the benefit of the Transferred Employees (i) all contributions due with respect to the last pay period ending prior to the Closing Date and (ii) all employer and employee contributions to which the Transferred Employees are entitled with respect to compensation earned by the Transferred Employees through the Closing Date, irrespective of any end-of-year service or other requirements otherwise applicable to such contributions. Buyer shall take such actions as are necessary to provide that a plan maintained by Buyer or one of its Affiliates that would be treated under Section 414 of the Code as a single employer with Buyer and qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code will accept rollovers of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code and to the extent that the administrator of

 

49


such plan has reasonably concluded that such contributions are valid rollover contributions pursuant to Section 1.401(a)(31)-1, Q&A-14, of the Treasury Regulations) made in cash, but also including rollovers of loan promissory notes, to Transferred Employees from the Seller Savings Plan.

(e) COBRA Liability . Buyer agrees that Buyer shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder for all individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9 with respect to any group health plan of any Seller; provided , however that in no event shall this clause (e) be construed to impose any obligation on Buyer to provide health benefits in excess of those required under Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to such M&A qualified beneficiaries. Buyer shall cause one or more of its group health plans to send COBRA eligibility notices to any “M&A qualified beneficiaries”, to the extent such individuals have been identified on the Benefits List, at the last known mailing address for such individuals as set forth on such Benefits List (it being acknowledged and agreed that Sellers shall, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provide to Buyer Books and Records containing the names and last known mailing addresses of all such M&A qualified beneficiaries, the group health plans of any Seller under which each such individual is covered, and the date of, and description of, the qualifying event for which COBRA eligibility applies to such individual).

(f) No Third Party Beneficiaries . Nothing in this Section 9.3 , express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. No provision of this Section 9.3 shall be deemed the adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.3 , otherwise limit the right of Sellers, Buyer, or their respective Affiliates, to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit plan. Nothing in this Section 9.3 shall create any Third Party beneficiary rights in any employee or any beneficiary or dependents thereof, including any Transferred Employee, or in any Person other than the parties to this Agreement.

9.4 Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information . Sellers and Buyer shall provide each other with such assistance as reasonably may be requested by either of them with respect to the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities in connection with (a) the preparation of any Tax return, amended Tax return or claim of refund or (b) any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to Liability for Taxes; provided , however , in no event shall Sellers or their Affiliates be required to provide Buyer with access or copies of Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ income Tax returns. Sellers and Buyer will make themselves (and their respective employees) available, on a mutually convenient basis, to provide explanations of any documents or information provided under this Section 9.4 . Any information obtained under this Section 9.4 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

9.5 Post-Closing Access . Subject to the restrictions of any applicable Legal Requirement, Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall, following the Closing and upon reasonable notice, afford such other party or parties and their Representatives reasonable access (including the right to make photocopies, at the sole cost and expense of the parties requesting such access), to the extent necessary in connection with Sellers’ operation of the Theaters prior to the Closing Date or Buyer’s operation of the Theaters after the Closing Date, during normal business hours and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with such other party or parties, to such other party’s or parties’ records related solely to the Theaters, including upon specific request, a complete copy of the Books and Records to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and to the extent such Books and Records are under such other party’s or parties’ or their Affiliates’ control.

(b) If the damaged property is not repaired, replaced or restored to its condition immediately prior to such casualty on or before the Closing Date and the Estimated Repair Cost is less than $250,000 or the Estimated Repair Time is less than sixty (60) days, then Buyer shall accept such Theater at the Closing in its condition as of the Closing Date and withhold from the Purchase Price an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Estimated Repair Cost less any amounts paid by Sellers’ to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to clauses (2) and/or (3) of this Section 9.6(b) , and Sellers shall assign to Buyer the right to any unpaid proceeds under any applicable insurance policies (including business interruption insurance but only to the extent related to periods from and after the Closing) at the Closing and Sellers shall pay to Buyer at the Closing an amount equal to (1) the Make Whole Payment plus (2) all proceeds actually received with respect to such Casualty Loss under such applicable insurance policies that have not yet been reinvested in the restoration of such Theater plus (3) the amount of any unpaid deductible with respect to any such insurance policies to be so assigned to Buyer; provided that Sellers shall be entitled to, and Buyer shall pay over to Sellers (i) any portion of the Purchase Price withheld in excess of the actual out-of-pocket Repair Cost paid by Buyer and (ii) promptly after its receipt of, any post-Closing theater level cash flow collected by Buyer at such Theater during the post-Closing Estimated Repair Time used in calculating the applicable Make Whole Payment (as set forth in the definition thereof).

53


substituted in place of the appropriate original Schedule and thereafter be part of this Agreement; provided , that, if the changes reflected in the updated Schedule are necessary to satisfy the conditions set out in Section 6.1 , then Buyer may either (a) accept the updated Schedule (in which case it will be substituted in place of the appropriate original Schedule and thereafter be part of this Agreement) or (b) reject the updated Schedule (in which case Buyer may terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1 ) by written notice thereof to Sellers provided within five (5) Business Days after such updated schedule is delivered to Buyer (it being acknowledged and agreed that in the event no such rejection is so delivered to Sellers within such five (5) Business Day period, such update shall be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer).

Subject to the following sentence, Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of any such refunds received in cash by Buyer (with such amount to be paid as soon as practicable and in any event within 10 Business days after receipt thereof), or as a reduction in rent payable (with such amounts to be so paid by Buyer as and when Buyer actually realizes the benefit of such reduction in rent), by Buyer under the applicable Lease after the Closing Date, in each case, so long as such refunds are not related to the relinquishment or modification of any rights under the Leases. Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of any such refund for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable tax period up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the applicable tax period. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with the Third Parties identified on Schedule 9.13 with respect to such appeals, and the mutual written consent of Buyer and the Seller Representative shall be required to approve any change with respect to Third Parties handling such appeals or approve any settlement of any such appeals.

In no event will either party’s aggregate Liability (i) for breaches of representations or warranties (other than with respect to any Seller Fully Indemnified Representations or Buyer Fully Indemnified Representations or any such breach that constitutes fraud) pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.3(a) , as applicable, exceed the amount of the Liability Cap or (ii) in any event (including with respect to any Seller Fully Indemnified Representations and Buyer Fully Indemnified Representations, but not including any such breach that constitutes fraud) exceed the amount of the Cash Purchase Price.

(e) No party hereto shall have any Liability under any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document for any punitive, consequential (whether in the nature of lost profits, diminution in value or otherwise not actual Losses), special or indirect damages, relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate Losses after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith; provided, that in no event shall the foregoing require any such Person to pursue any legal rights and remedies available to such Person other than under insurance policies that provide for coverage with respect to such Losses.

10.5 Procedure for Indemnification – Generally . If a Person intends to seek indemnification under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 (an “Indemnified Person”), the Indemnified Person must give prompt written notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under that Section (an “Indemnifying Person”) specifying in reasonable detail the basis for seeking indemnification. The Indemnified Person’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of Liability to any Indemnified Person except to the extent that the defense of such indemnification claim is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give a timely Claim Notice, and then any such Liability of an Indemnifying Person shall be relieved only to the extent of such prejudice.

(a) The Indemnifying Person will have the right to eliminate or mitigate its indemnification obligation under this Article 10 by affecting a cure of any breach of this Agreement (including any document, certificate, instrument or agreement to be executed or delivered under this Agreement), if susceptible of cure, within thirty (30) calendar days after any such notice. Any uncured indemnification claim and any claim that is not capable of cure that is undisputed will be paid promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice) by the Indemnifying Person after such notice and failure to cure. Any other indemnification claim will be paid promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after resolution of such claim) by the Indemnifying Person upon resolution by an agreement with the Indemnified Person or upon a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Person of any Damages, the Indemnifying Person will be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Person against any Person that is not a Representative of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person will remit to the Indemnifying Person any reimbursement that the Indemnified Person actually receives (net of any cost of recovery) from such non-Representative Person on account of a legal action or other claim to which the subrogated rights relate.

10.6 Third Party Claims, Defense .

(a) An Indemnified Person must give written notice to the Indemnifying Person within thirty (30) days after receiving any Third Party Claim that the Indemnified Person receives which may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 10 (the “ Claim Notice ”). The Indemnified Person’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of Liability to any Indemnified Person except to the extent that the defense of the Third Party Claim is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give a timely Claim Notice, and then any such Liability of an Indemnifying Person shall be relieved only to the extent of such prejudice.

(b) The Indemnifying Person may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole expense, if it gives notice of its intention to do so within twenty (20) calendar days of its receipt of the Claim Notice, but must retain counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person may not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim unless it first agrees in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party for its portion of the

 

58


Damages, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 10 , related to such Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if (i) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief and Buyer or such other Indemnified Person reasonably believes that an adverse determination with respect to such Third Party Claim would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on such Person’s ability to operate any Theater, (ii) involves criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to reasonably prosecute or defend such claim in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party is permitted to assume and control the defense and elects to do so, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the retention thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing.

(c) If the Indemnifying Person gives timely notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 10.6(b) , then, except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for attorneys’ fees or any other expenses that the Indemnified Person subsequently incurs with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it may effect any compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Person’s consent if, but only if (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of a Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of the Indemnified Person, (ii) the compromise or settlement does not require the Indemnified Person to pay any Damages or bear any non-monetary cost or restriction, and (iii) there is delivered by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a written release from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. Except as provided in this Section 10.6(d) , the Indemnified Person has no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claims effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) If the Indemnifying Person fails to notify the Indemnified Person within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving the Claim Notice that it will assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the right to defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim; provided , however , the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle any Third Party Claim that would require the Indemnifying Party to pay any Damages without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that any Third Party Claim relates to periods both prior to and after the Closing for which, if such Third Party Claim were to be successful, Damages would be borne by each of Buyer and Seller, respectively, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Buyer and/or Seller shall be entitled to settle its respective portion of such claim, without notice to or consent from the other party, so long as such settlement does not have an adverse effect on the non-settling party.

 

59


(g) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 10 :

(i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, will keep the other Person reasonably informed of the status of the Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings under all circumstances in which the Person is not represented by its own counsel, and

(ii) the parties (each at its own expense) will render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 10 , the parties will cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full the attorney-client and work-product privileges.

10.7 Joint and Several Liability of Sellers . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of any Seller arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including any indemnification obligation arising under Section 10.2 .

10.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price . To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto agree to treat all indemnification payments made under this Article 10 for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

10.9 Tax Claims . Buyer shall be entitled to control the contest or resolution of any claim arising from any breach of representation in Section 3.6 (a “ Tax Claim ”) using such counsel as Buyer may engage, but only if such Tax Claim would reasonably be expected to impact Buyer’s Tax Liabilities for a period ending after the Closing Date for which Buyer would not be entitled to be fully indemnified pursuant to this Article 10 ; provided , that Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of a Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such Tax claim; and provided , further , that the Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expense of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Sellers.

10.10 Further Limitations on Environmental Indemnification . Any indemnification claim made by an Indemnified Person under Section 10.2(a) for a breach of the representations and warranties provided in Section 3.7 or under Section 10.2(d) for a Retained Liability that is a Retained Environmental Matter shall be subject to the following conditions and limitations:

(a) Sellers or NAI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control any Remedial Action required to satisfy Sellers’ indemnification obligations. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers or NAI in connection with any such Remedial Action, including providing Sellers or NAI with reasonable access to any Leased Real Property on which or from which any Remedial Actions are conducted. If Sellers or NAI conduct and control such Remedial Action, Buyer shall be entitled (i) to receive, prior to submission, copies of all reports, work plans

 

60


and analytical data to be submitted to Governmental Bodies, all notices or other letters or documents received from Governmental Bodies, and any other documentation and correspondence material to the matter and notices of material meetings; (ii) to attend such material meetings; and (iii) to reasonably consult with Sellers or NAI (including the right to receive reasonable advance notice from Sellers or NAI of, and a reasonable opportunity to consult with Sellers or NAI on, any material decisions with respect to the Remedial action). Sellers or NAI shall manage the Remedial Action in good faith and any activities conducted in connection therewith shall be undertaken promptly and completed expeditiously using commercially reasonable efforts. Should Sellers or NAI fail to promptly and expeditiously prosecute the Remedial Action, and fail to commence such prosecution within forty-five (45) days of receiving written notice of same from Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to take control of the Remedial Action and the cost of completing the Remedial Action shall be subject to indemnification in accordance with Section 10.2(a) and Section 10.2(d) of this Agreement. Sellers or NAI shall undertake all activities related to the Remedial Action in material compliance with all Environmental Laws, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the day-to-day operation of the relevant Leased Real Property. Sellers or NAI shall take such precautions as are reasonably necessary to minimize physical damage to the relevant Leased Real Property, and Sellers shall indemnify Buyer with respect to any damage relating to or arising from Sellers’ or NAI’s conduct of such Remedial Action. A Remedial Action shall be deemed completed when (x) the appropriate Governmental Body issues a no further action letter or similar sign-off with respect to the Remedial Action and (y) any related Third Party Claim has been fully settled and resolved.

(b) Sellers shall have no indemnification obligations for any Damages to the extent, and only to the extent, such Damages are triggered, caused or that have their timing accelerated by (i) any negligent action or omission of any Indemnified Person subsequent to the applicable Closing Date, (ii) any change in use of a Leased Real Property from its commercial use as of the applicable Closing Date to any other commercial use or residential use that would make remediation more stringent than under its use as of the applicable Closing Date or (iii) any sampling and analysis of any soil or groundwater at a Leased Real Property by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person following the applicable Closing Date unless such sampling and analysis is (A) required by Environmental Law or by any Governmental Body; (B) conducted in response to any Third Party Claim relating to the release of or exposure to Hazardous Substances; (C) conducted in support of a renovation, expansion or demolition of a Theater on a subject Leased Real Property where such sampling and analysis is conducted pursuant to industry practice; (D) reasonably necessary to investigate conditions that indicate an imminent and substantial endangerment to health or the environment; (E) with respect to Leased Real Property, necessary to comply with a provision of the lease agreement in effect as of the Closing Date pertaining to such Leased Real Property that explicitly requires such sampling and analysis; or (F) requested in writing by a prospective purchaser in connection with a potential sale related to such Leased Real Property or in writing by a prospective lender in connection with any financing (provided that after a no further action letter or similar sign-off with respect to the Remedial Action related to the items on Schedule 1.1P has been received and any Third Party Claim related to the Remedial Action has been resolved, Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 10.2(d) or under Section 10.2(a) for a breach of the representations and warranties made in Section 3.7 with respect to the subject matter of the no further action letter or similar signoff shall terminate). Buyer shall provide Sellers copies of any and all sampling and analysis data in its possession or under its reasonable control that supports or relates to any Remedial Action or claim for environmental indemnification for which Sellers are liable hereunder.

 

61


(c) When Sellers exercise their right to conduct and control any Remedial Action pursuant to Section 10.10(a) , Sellers shall only be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Person for Damages relating to any Remedial Action conducted by Buyer to the extent the Remedial Action is conducted in a cost effective manner (“ Cost Effective Manner ”). The Cost Effective Manner shall incorporate the least stringent cleanup standards that, subject to the use classification of a subject Leased Real Property as of the Closing Date, are allowed under applicable Environmental Law and the least costly methods that are allowed under applicable Environmental Law and that are approved or are otherwise acceptable to applicable Governmental Bodies to achieve such standards, including the use of engineering controls (including caps), or institutional controls (including use restrictions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cost Effective Manner shall not include or incorporate any controls that unreasonably interfere with any commercial use of a Leased Real Property that is not materially more sensitive than the use of such Leased Real Property as of the Closing Date or that entails any material increase in operation or maintenance costs that would otherwise be incurred in connection with such use and, with respect to any Leased Real Property, shall comply with the terms of the subject lease as such terms exist as of the Closing Date.

(d) Sellers shall not have any indemnification obligation for removing, abating, encapsulating or otherwise addressing asbestos in building material at any Leased Real Property.

11.4 Jurisdiction; Service of Process . Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware over all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. Each party hereto also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.

Any party hereto may make service on the other party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.3 above. Nothing in this Section 11.4 , however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or in equity.

11.5 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative . The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or

 

64


partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party;

(b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and

(c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

11.6 Entire Agreement and Modification . This Agreement, the Schedules and the Transaction Documents (which are incorporated herein by this reference) supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement (except that Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ obligations thereunder shall terminate as of the Closing; provided , that any such termination shall not relieve any party for any willful breach of the Confidentiality Agreement prior to such termination)) and constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.

11.7 Assignments, Successors and No Third Party Rights . Neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor any Seller, on the other hand, shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided , that Buyer may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder (in whole or in part) without Sellers’ prior consent to any Buyer Designee; provided further , that no such designation described in this Section 11.7 shall (i) require any additional consent of any Person for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions not already provided for in this Agreement or otherwise cause any closing condition in Article 6 herein not to be satisfied or (ii) relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

11.8 Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

11.9 Construction . The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Articles” and “Sections” refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this Agreement.

11.11 Governing Law . THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

11.12 Execution of Agreement . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by electronic mail or facsimile transmission will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by electronic mail or facsimile will be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

11.13 Third Party Beneficiaries . Nothing in this Agreement (express or implied) will be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement.

11.14 Confidentiality and Press Releases . Prior to the Closing, Buyer and Sellers and their respective Representatives will hold in confidence all data and information obtained with respect to the other party, the other party’s business or the Acquired Assets that is not or does not become otherwise available to the public, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, including without limitation the existence and terms of this Agreement, and will not disclose the same to others; provided , however , either party may disclose such data and information to (i) such party’s lender or other financing source and to the employees, consultants and attorneys of such party, (ii) in the case of Buyer, to its actual and prospective commercial counterparties as necessary to negotiate commercial arrangements regarding the operation of the Theaters post-Closing, and (iii) to governmental regulators having jurisdiction over either party or such party’s investors. Following the Closing, Sellers shall maintain as confidential and shall not use or disclose (except as deemed necessary by Sellers to address any Excluded Asset, Retained Liability or otherwise required by law or as authorized in writing by Buyer) (i) any information or materials relating to the Property, the Theaters, the Acquired Assets, or operations and affairs of Sellers in respect thereof and (ii) any materials developed by Buyer or any of its Representatives. Following the Closing, Buyer shall maintain as confidential and shall not use or disclose (except as deemed necessary by Buyer to address any Asset or Assumed Liability or otherwise required by law or as authorized in writing by any Seller) any information or materials relating to the Excluded Assets or Retained Liabilities. Except as otherwise permitted and provided above, in the event any Seller or Buyer is required by law to disclose any such confidential information, such party shall promptly notify the other party in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall reasonably cooperate with the other party to obtain a protective order and otherwise preserve the confidentiality of such information consistent with applicable law. If this

 

66


Agreement is terminated, upon the request of any Seller, Buyer will promptly return to Seller or destroy (such destruction to be certified in writing) all documents, schedules, exhibits or other written information obtained from Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated herein. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by either party or such party’s Representatives of this Section 11.14 , the other party will be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party or such party’s breaching Representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting either party from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. Prior to the Closing, no party hereto shall be permitted to make, or cause to be made, press releases or public announcements in respect of the terms of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the other party except to the extent that any disclosure may be required by Legal Requirement. In the event any party is required by Legal Requirement to disclose any of the terms of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, such party shall promptly notify the other parties in writing, which notification shall include the nature of the Legal Requirement and the extent of the required disclosure; provided , however , that Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall be entitled to issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the execution of this Agreement. The parties will work together in good faith to issue a joint press release to be published after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 11.14 are subject to, and the parties will comply with, all applicable Legal Requirements and Orders.

11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDING SEEKING ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH PARTY’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes plus fixed charges excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of debt issue cost and that portion of rental expense which we believe to be representative of the interest factor. For the year ended December 31, 2008, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $27.1 million.
