      NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

      HIGHLIGHTS

      • Delivered full-year 2018 GAAP net income per share of $0.36, compared to GAAP net income per share of $0.04, in 2017.
      • 2018 adjusted net income per share was $0.91, compared to $0.62 in 2017, an increase of 46.8%.
      • Strong box office and continued cost discipline drove a 381-basis point increase in 2018 operating income margin, compared to 2017.
      • IMAX surpassed $1 billion in global box office for the first time in its history and delivered its highest-grossing year in China.
      • Year-to-date in 2019, IMAX box office in China reached $78 million, up 61%, compared to last year.

      IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today reported fourth quarter 2018 revenues of $109.0 million, gross profit of $54.6 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter was $16.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $36.4 million. For reconciliations of reported results to non-GAAP financial results, and for the definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, please see the end of this press release.

      The Company also reported full year 2018 revenues of $374.4 million, gross profit of $207.9 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of $22.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $57.8 million, or $0.91 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $133.2 million.

      "We believe our achievements last year set the stage for IMAX to have a blockbuster year in 2019. We further differentiated The IMAX Experience®, increased awareness of the IMAX brand and tackled key challenges in China, where we delivered our strongest box office year ever and doubled the industry growth rate," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "While these achievements have already begun paying dividends—as evidenced by the 47% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share—we anticipate these initiatives to continue to improve the performance of our business in 2019 and beyond. And we have hit the ground running in 2019. Year-to-to date, we have already achieved $78 million of box office in China, a 61% increase compared to 2018. Overall, we are encouraged by our recent results as we head into the blockbuster filled calendar, which includes highly anticipated films such as Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, The Lion King and Star Wars Episode IX."

      Fourth Quarter 2018 Results

      Network Update
      During the quarter, the Company installed 88 theater systems, 67 of which were for new theater locations. The total IMAX® theater network consisted of 1,505 systems as of December 31, 2018, of which 1,409 were in commercial multiplexes. There were 564 theaters in backlog as of December 31, 2018, compared to the 499 in backlog as of December 31, 2017.

      IMAX also signed contracts for 12 new theaters and 2 upgrades in the fourth quarter.  During 2018, the Company signed agreements for 203 IMAX with Laser systems, 59 of which were new systems, 114 of which were upgrades to existing IMAX theaters and 30 of which were amendments to existing backlog arrangements. For a breakdown of theater system signings, installations, network and backlog by type for the fourth quarter, please see the end of this press release.

      "The story is quite simple. Beginning in 2017 we made a series of strategic decisions to turn around our business," said Gelfond. "From top to bottom, the evidence is clear in 2018 that these initiatives are working as our growth, margin and return metrics are on solidly positive trend lines. We have confidence each of these trends will continue in 2019 and our margin and return improvement should accelerate as we continue to execute against the initiatives we laid out."

      Box Office Update
      Gross box office from IMAX DMR® films was $236.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $278.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to a stronger film slate in the fourth quarter of 2017 which included Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Gross box office was generated primarily by the exhibition of 29 films (22 new and 7 carryover), as compared to 26 films (22 new and 4 carryover) exhibited in the fourth quarter of 2017.

      Fourth-Quarter Consolidated Results
      The gross margin across all segments in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $54.6 million, or 50.1% of total revenues, compared to $60.1 million, or 47.9% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2017. Operating expenses (which includes SG&A, excluding stock-based compensation, plus R&D) were $28.0 million in the quarter, compared to $27.2 million in 2017.

      Fourth-Quarter Segment Results

      Network Business

      • Network business revenues were $41.7 million in the quarter, compared with $53.8 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin for the network business was 59.2% in the most recent quarter, compared to 64.3% in the prior-year period.
      • IMAX DMR revenues were $25.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $31.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Gross margin for the IMAX DMR segment was 60.5%, compared to 60.6% in the prior-year comparative period.
      • Revenues from joint revenue-sharing arrangements were $16.5 million in the quarter, compared with $20.7 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin for joint revenue-sharing arrangements was 57.2%, compared to 67.8% in the prior-year comparative period.

      Theater Business

      • Theater business segment revenues were $61.9 million in the quarter, compared with $55.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the variable consideration being recognized due to the adoption of ASC Topic 606, as well as 2 additional installations of sales-type theaters.
      • Gross margin on sales and sales-type leases was 51.0% compared with 61.4% in the year-ago period. The decline was driven by the mix of theater installations (new vs. upgrades) compared to the prior year, which can vary each year.

      In addition to the Company's core revenue segments, new business revenues were $0.8 million in the quarter, compared to $13.0 million in the same period last year. New business revenues in 2017 were driven primarily by the launch of Marvel's Inhumans.  The company recognized a gross loss of $0.5 million in the quarter, compared to a gross loss of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

      IMAX CORPORATION

      OTHER INFORMATION

      (in thousands of U.S. dollars)


      Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

           In this release, the Company presents adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted net income attributable to common

      shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility as

      supplemental measures of performance of the Company, which are not recognized under U.S. GAAP. The Company presents adjusted net income and

      adjusted net income per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable controllable operating

      performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand the impact of its stock-based compensation (net of any related tax impact) and

      non-recurring charges on net income. In addition, the Company presents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net

      income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable

      financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand

      the impact of net income attributable to non-controlling interests, its stock-based compensation (net of any related tax impact) and non-recurring charges

      in determining net income attributable to common shareholders. Management uses these measures to review operating performance on a comparable

      basis from period to period. However, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

      Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income

      attributable to common shareholders per diluted share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and net income

      attributable to common shareholders and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.


           The Company is required to maintain a minimum level of "EBITDA", as such term is defined in the Company's credit agreement (and which is

      referred to herein as "Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility" or "Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility excluding Marvel's Inhumans", as the credit

      agreement includes additional adjustments beyond interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility

      (each as defined below) should not be construed as substitutes for net income or as better measures of liquidity as determined in accordance with U.S.

      GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility excluding Marvel's Inhumans are relevant and useful

      information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Company's industry.

      * Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility of $138.2 million includes the impact of the Company's investment in "Marvel's

      Inhumans", which resulted in a $13.0 million loss. However, as permitted by the Credit Facility, this loss was offset by addbacks of

      $13.3 million and $11.7 million for amortization and impairment charges, respectively, relating to the investment, the net effect of

      which was to increase Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility by $12.0 million. This investment represents the Company's first foray

      into a commercial television property, and therefore the Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility metric presented above may not be

      reflective of the Company's typical operational activity. Further, the Company does not yet know whether it will make similar

      investments in the future. As a result, the Company is also presenting Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility excluding the impact of

      "Marvel's Inhumans" to better facilitate comparisons to prior and future periods.

      Free Cash Flow:

           Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities minus cash used in investing activities (from the consolidated

      statements of cash flows). Cash provided by operating activities consist of net income, plus depreciation and amortization, plus the

      change in deferred income taxes, plus other non-cash items, plus changes in working capital, less investment in film assets, plus other

      changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures, acquisitions and other cash

      used in investing activities. Management views free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a measure of the Company's after-tax cash

      flow available to reduce debt, add to cash balances, and fund other financing activities. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating

      activities to free cash flow is presented in the table below:
