NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In thousands, except share and per share data
1. | The Company and Basis of Presentation |
Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) operates in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 24, 2016 by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.
Accounting Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified $8,844 and $24,071 in expenses from film rentals and advertising costs to utilities and other costs on the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, to be consistent with the presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company determined that reclassifying the expenses, which are related to the maintenance and monitoring of projection and sound equipment, results in a more clear presentation of film rentals and advertising costs.
2. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02,Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with certain VIEs. ASU 2015-02 also provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-02, which had no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). The purpose of ASU 2016-02 is to provide financial statement users a better understanding of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most operating leases. New disclosure requirements include qualitative and quantitative information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective with the option to elect certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-04,Liabilities – Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20), (“ASU 2016-04”). The purpose of ASU 2016-04 is to provide a narrow scope exception to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 405-20 to require that breakage of liabilities associated with prepaid stored-value products be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance in ASC Topic 606. ASU 2016-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in ASU 2016-04 may be applied either using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective or retrospectively to each period presented.

ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. Prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective application may be used dependent on the specific requirements of the amendments within ASU 2016-09. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, (“ASU 2016-12”).

Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-16 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. | Earnings Per Share |
The Company considers its unvested restricted stock 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 plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two class method and the treasury stock method.
The following table presents computations of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method:

4. | Long Term Debt Activity |
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On May 16, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. made a pre-payment of $13,451 on its term loan using the net proceeds received from the sale of shares of RealD (see Note 7). In accordance with the terms of the senior secured credit facility agreement, the pre-payment was applied first to the next four principal installments, and second, to the remaining installments pro-rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Therefore, quarterly payments in the amount of $1,427 are due on the term loan beginning June 30, 2017 through March 31, 2022, with the remaining principal of $635,250 due on May 8, 2022. The Company did not incur any fees as a result of the pre-payment.
On June 13, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, amended its senior secured credit facility to reduce the rate at which the term loan bears interest by 0.25%. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $802 in connection with the amendment, which are reflected as a reduction of long term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $249 in legal and other fees that are reflected as loss on debt amendments and refinancing on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Issuance of Additional 4.875% Senior Notes
On March 21, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued an additional $225,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2023 (the “4.875% Senior Notes”), at 99.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest from December 1, 2015. Proceeds, after payment of fees, were used to finance the redemption of Cinemark, USA, Inc.’s $200,000 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021 (the “7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes”), as discussed below. These additional notes have identical terms, other than the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment date, and constitute part of the same series as Cinemark USA, Inc.’s existing 4.875% Senior Notes. The aggregate principal amount of $755,000 of 4.875% Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2023. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $3,702 in connection with the issuance of the additional notes, which, along with the discount of $2,250, are reflected as a reduction of long term debt, net of accumulated amortization, as of September 30, 2016.
On April 5, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. and its guarantor subsidiaries filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the additional 4.875% Senior Notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that do not contain terms restricting the transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The registration statement was declared effective April 18, 2016, and the notes were exchanged on May 17, 2016.
Redemption of 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes
On March 21, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. redeemed its $200,000 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes at a make-whole premium of approximately 104% plus accrued and unpaid interest, utilizing the proceeds from the issuance of the additional $225,000 Cinemark USA, Inc. 4.875% Senior Notes discussed above. As a result of the redemption, the Company wrote-off approximately $2,369 in unamortized debt issue costs, paid the make-whole premium of $9,444 and paid other fees of $1,222, all of which are reflected in loss on debt amendments and refinancing during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using the market approach, which utilizes quoted market prices that fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35,Fair Value Measurement. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,824,355 and $1,814,572 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, excluding unamortized debt discounts and debt issue costs. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,839,380 and $1,806,276 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

6. | Investment in National CineMedia |
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. Upon joining NCM, the Company entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM (“ESA”), pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to our theatres. As described further in Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”), an entity that serves as the sole manager of NCM, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock. In connection with the NCM Inc. initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the ESA. Following the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its original NCM membership units (referred to herein as the Company’s 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.

(1) | Amount includes the per patron and per digital screen theatre access fees due to the Company, net of amounts due to NCM for on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire of approximately $8,002. |
During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded equity in earnings of approximately $5,815 and $6,263, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded equity in earnings of approximately $7,660 and $6,672, respectively.
The Company made payments to NCM of approximately $41 and $39 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to installation of certain equipment used for digital advertising, which is included in theatre properties and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On March 16, 2015, NCM, Inc. announced that it had agreed with Screenvision, LLC (“Screenvision”) to terminate a merger agreement under which it would have acquired Screenvision. The termination of the merger agreement resulted in a $26.8 million termination payment to Screenvision by NCM, Inc. NCM indemnified NCM, Inc. for the termination fee. The impact of the termination payment and related merger costs resulted in NCM paying reduced excess cash distributions to its shareholders for the first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016, as required by NCM’s Amended and Restated Operating Agreement.
Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and the Company, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”) and Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), 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. As further discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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. During March 2016, 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 753,598 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 with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $11,111. The deferred revenue will be recognized over the remaining term of the ESA, which is approximately 20 years.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company owned a total of 26,384,644 common units of NCM, representing an ownership interest of approximately 19%. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in NCM was approximately $388,382 as of September 30, 2016, using NCMI’s stock price as of September 30, 2016 of $14.72 per share.

Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC
On February 12, 2007, the Company, AMC and Regal entered into a joint venture known as 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 to DCIP, which DCIP then contributed to Kasima. 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 of September 30, 2016, the Company had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP. The Company accounts for its investment in DCIP and its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2016, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $13,648 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.
Restricted Stock Units– During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted restricted stock units representing 253,661 hypothetical shares of common stock to employees. 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 the two fiscal year periods ending December 31, 2017 based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments as specified by the Compensation Committee prior to the grant date. The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity and vest on a pro-rata basis according to the IRR achieved by the Company during the performance period. If the IRR for the two-year period is at least 6.0%, which is the threshold, one-third of the maximum restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the two-year period is at least 8.0%, which is the target, two-thirds of the maximum restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the two-year period is at least 10.0%, which is the maximum, 100% of the maximum restricted stock units vest. Grantees are eligible to receive a ratable portion of the common stock issuable if the IRR is within the targets previously noted. Further, as an example, if the Company achieves an IRR equal to 9.0%, the number of restricted stock units that shall vest will be greater than the target but less than the maximum number that would have vested had the Company achieved the highest IRR. In accordance with their respective employment agreements, the awards granted to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former President and Chief Operating Officer will vest upon the certification of the IRR for the 2016 award by the Compensation Committee. All other restricted stock units granted during 2016 will vest subject to an additional two-year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through February 2020, which is the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments from the grant date if, and at the time that, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 at each of the three target levels of financial performance (excluding forfeiture assumptions):
Number of | ||||||||
Shares | Value at | |||||||
Vesting | Grant | |||||||
at IRR of at least 6.0% | 84,554 | $ | 2,522 | |||||
at IRR of at least 8.0% | 169,107 | $ | 5,044 | |||||
at IRR of at least 10.0% | 253,661 | $ | 7,568 |
Due to the fact that the IRR for the two-year performance period could not be determined at the time of the 2016 grant, the Company estimated that the most likely outcome is the achievement of the target IRR level. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which was $29.83 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 10% for the restricted stock unit awards. If during the service period, additional information becomes available to lead the Company to believe a different IRR level will be achieved for the two-year performance period, the Company will reassess the number of units that will vest for the grant and adjust its compensation expense accordingly on a prospective basis over the remaining service period.

Income tax benefit recognized upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards | $ | 3,049 | $ | 2,303 | ||||
Compensation expense recognized during the period | $ | 3,696 | $ | 2,708 |
As of September 30, 2016, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $7,354. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total of 557,077 hypothetical shares of common stock, net of actual cumulative forfeitures of 30,598 units, assuming the maximum IRR level is achieved for all grants outstanding.
Effective March 4, 2016, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer resigned with good reason as defined within his employment agreement. As a result, certain of his restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards vested upon his resignation. The accelerated vesting of these awards were considered a modification of such awards, therefore the Company revalued the vested awards at their fair value upon modification. The revaluation of these awards resulted in incremental share based award compensation expense of approximately $994, which is included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The Company evaluates 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. 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 nineteen regions in the U.S. and seven countries internationally with Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala being considered one reporting unit (the Company does not have goodwill recorded for all of its international locations).
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment on all reporting units except one, in accordance with ASU 2011-08Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). The qualitative assessment included consideration of historical and expected future industry performance, estimated future performance of the Company, current industry trading multiples and other economic factors. Based on the qualitative assessment performed, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units were less than their carrying values. The Company performed a quantitative two-step approach on a new U.S. region that had not previously been assessed for goodwill impairment. The two-step approach requires 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. The fair value for the new reporting unit was determined based on a multiple of estimated cash flows, which was eight times, and exceeded its carrying value by more than 10%.
No events or changes in circumstances occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 that indicated the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value.

10. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
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, 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 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 the lesser of twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life for fee-owned properties. 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 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $294.
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.

11. | 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.

The Company uses the market approach for fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets (see Note 9 and Note 10). Additionally, the Company uses the market approach to estimate the fair value of its long-term debt (see Note 4). There were no changes in valuation techniques and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
12. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity of $238,672 and $271,686 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, includes cumulative foreign currency adjustments of $238,430 and $273,404, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries, and also includes 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.

14. | Segments |
The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

16. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Effective March 4, 2016, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer Robert Copple resigned with good reason as defined within his employment agreement. The Company paid Mr. Copple the payments and benefits pursuant to the terms set forth in his employment agreement. The Company’s post-termination obligations, such as providing continued participation in the Company’s welfare benefit plans and insurance programs, remain in effect for a limited period of time under the employment agreement. All expenses incurred by the Company in relation to the resignation are reflected in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Joseph Amey, et al. v. Cinemark USA, Inc., Case No. 3:13cv05669, In the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. The case presents putative class action claims for damages and attorney’s fees arising from employee wage and hour claims under California law for alleged meal period, rest break, reporting time pay, unpaid wages, pay upon termination, and wage statements violations. The claims are also asserted as a representative action under the California Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”). The Company denies the claims, denies that class certification is appropriate and denies that a PAGA representative action is appropriate, and is vigorously defending against the claims. The Company denies any violation of law and plans to vigorously defend against all claims. The Court recently determined that class certification is not appropriate and determined that a PAGA representative action is not appropriate. The plaintiff has appealed these rulings. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the litigation or the range of potential loss.
The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. The CID relates to an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The Company also received CIDs from the Antitrust Section of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Ohio and later from other states regarding similar inquiries under state antitrust laws. The CIDs request the Company to answer interrogatories, and produce documents, or both, related to the investigation of matters including film clearances, potential coordination and/or communication with other major theatre circuits and related joint ventures. The Company intends to fully cooperate with all federal and state government agencies. Although the Company does not believe that it has violated any federal or state antitrust or competition laws, it cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.
From time to time, the Company is involved in various other 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. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules included elsewhere in this report.
We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the U.S., Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. As of September 30, 2016, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments – U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We generate revenues primarily from filmed entertainment 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 relationship with NCM has assisted us in expanding our offerings to domestic advertisers and broadening ancillary revenue sources. We also offer alternative entertainment, such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the Metropolitan Opera, in-theatre gaming and other special events in our theatres through our joint venture, AC JV, LLC. Our Flix Media initiative has also allowed us to expand our screen advertising and alternative content within our international circuit and to other international exhibitors.
Films leading the box office during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included the carryover ofStar Wars: The Force Awakensand The Revenant;and new releases such as Deadpool, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice,Zootopia,Suicide Squad, The Jungle Book, Captain America: Civil War, Finding Dory, Jason Bourne, The Secret Life of Pets and other films. Films scheduled for release during the remainder of 2016 includeDr. Strange,Moana, Passengers,Sing,and spin-off filmsRogue One: A Star Wars StoryandFantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, 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. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily fixed at the theatre level.
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. In some international locations, staffing levels are also subject to local regulations.
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 both fixed and variable costs and primarily includes utilities, expenses for projection and sound equipment maintenance and monitoring, property taxes, janitorial costs, repairs and maintenance and security services.

(2) | U.S. operating segment revenues include eliminations of intercompany transactions with the international operating segment. See Note 14 of our condensed consolidated financial statements. |
(3) | Constant currency revenue amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rates for the corresponding months for 2015. We translate the results of our international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time. Significant changes in foreign exchange rates from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance without the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
• | U.S. Admissions revenues increased $36.3 million due to a 9.6% increase in attendance and a 1.7% increase in average ticket price from $7.27 for the third quarter of 2015 to $7.39 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in concession revenues of $29.0 million was attributable to the 9.6% increase in attendance and a 6.8% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.85 for the third quarter of 2015 to $4.11 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in attendance was due to the solid slate of films during the third quarter of 2016 and new theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to price increases. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales incidence and price increases. |
• | International. Admissions revenues increased $4.4 million as reported, and increased $19.1 million in constant currency. The constant currency increase is a result of a 12.7% increase in constant currency average ticket price from $4.18 for the third quarter of 2015 to $4.71 for the third quarter of 2016 and a 3.7% increase in attendance. Concession revenues increased $2.2 million as reported, and increased $9.6 million in constant currency. The constant currency increase is a result of an 11.5% increase in constant currency concession revenues per patron from $2.27 for the third quarter of 2015 to $2.53 for the third quarter of 2016 and the 3.7% increase in attendance. The increase in attendance was primarily due to new theatres. Average ticket price and concession revenues per patron increased primarily driven by price increases, which was primarily due to local inflation. |

(1) | We made certain reclassifications from film rentals and advertising to utilities and other for the three months ended September 30, 2015 related to the maintenance and monitoring of projection and sound equipment, which results in a more clear presentation of film rental and advertising costs. Such expenses, which totaled $7.2 million and $1.7 million for the U.S. operating segment and the international operating segment, respectively, are now presented as utilities and other for all periods presented. |
(2) | Constant currency expense amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rates for the corresponding months for 2015. We translate the results of our international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time. Significant changes in foreign exchange rates from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance without the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
• | U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs were $193.6 million, or 54.6% of admissions revenues, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $172.9 million, or 54.3% of admissions revenues, for the third quarter of 2015. Concession supplies expense was $28.2 million, or 14.3% of concession revenues, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $22.9 million, or 13.6% of concession revenues, for the third quarter of 2015. The increase in the concession supplies rate was primarily due to the impact of expanded concession offerings. |
Salaries and wages increased to $63.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $57.1 million for the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to new theatres and increases in minimum wages. Facility lease expense increased to $60.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $59.8 million for the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to new theatres. Utilities and other costs increased to $66.9 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $66.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 due to increased repairs and maintenance expenses and security expense, partially offset by decreases in projection and sound equipment maintenance and monitoring expenses.
• | International. Film rentals and advertising costs were $56.2 million ($63.5 million in constant currency), or 47.6% of admissions revenues, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $54.6 million, or 48.1% of admissions revenues, for the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate was primarily due to the mix of films during the third quarter of 2016. Concession supplies expense was $13.7 million ($15.1 million in constant currency), or 21.4% of concession revenues, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $13.1 million, or 21.2% of concession revenues, for the third quarter of 2015. |
Salaries and wages were $21.2 million as reported, or $24.3 million in constant currency, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase was due to increased wage rates and new theatres, partially offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Facility lease expense was $22.3 million as reported, or $24.1 million in constant currency, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $20.8 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to new theatres, partially offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Utilities and other costs were $28.1 million as reported, or $31.6 million in constant currency, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $27.2 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to increased projection and sound equipment and monitoring expenses, partially offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.
General and Administrative Expenses.General and administrative expenses decreased to $35.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $39.1 million for the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in net credit card fees and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate, partially offset by increased salaries and incentive compensation expense.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $54.2 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $47.5 million during the third quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to new theatres and theatre remodels.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $0.6 million during the third quarter of 2015. 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. Impairment charges for the third quarter of 2016 impacted four of our twenty-seven reporting units. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets and Other.We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to a gain of $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2015. The loss recorded during the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to the retirement of assets due to theatre remodels partially offset by a gain on the sale of a land parcel. The gain recorded during the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a gain on the sale of an investment in a Taiwan joint venture and a gain on the sale of a land parcel in the U.S., partially offset by costs resulting from the replacement of certain theatre assets.
Interest Expense.Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $26.7 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $28.4 million during the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was due to the redemption of our previously outstanding $200.0 million 7.375% senior subordinated notes (the “7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes”) funded by a $225.0 million add-on to our 4.875% senior notes (the “4.875% Senior Notes), which occurred on March 21, 2016. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for discussions of changes in long-term debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss). We recorded a foreign currency exchange gain of approximately $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to a foreign currency exchange loss of $11.9 million during the third quarter of 2015. These amounts primarily represent the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany transactions between our domestic subsidiaries and our international subsidiaries.
Distributions from NCM.We recorded a distribution from NCM of $1.4 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to a distribution of $4.6 million during the third quarter of 2015, each of which was in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 investment. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Equity in Income of Affiliates.We recorded equity in income of affiliates of $12.4 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $11.1 million during the third quarter of 2015. See Notes 6 and 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information about our equity investments.
Income Taxes.Income tax expense of $40.9 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $30.1 million recorded for the third quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate was approximately 38.2% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 39.2% for the third quarter of 2015. Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates and are adjusted for the effects of significant, infrequent or unusual items (i.e. discrete items) occurring during the interim period. As a result, the interim rate may vary significantly from the normalized annual rate.

We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance without the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. |
• | U.S. Admissions revenues increased $47.7 million due to a 2.8% increase in attendance and a 2.0% increase in average ticket price from $7.37 for the 2015 period to $7.52 for the 2016 period. The increase in concession revenues of $52.2 million was attributable to a 6.9% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.90 for the 2015 period to $ 4.17 for the 2016 period and the 2.8% increase in attendance. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to price increases. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales incidence and price increases. |
• | International. Admissions revenues decreased $18.7 million as reported, but increased $53.8 million in constant currency. The constant currency increase is a result of a 6.1% increase in attendance and an 8.9% increase in constant currency average ticket price from $4.38 for the 2015 period to $4.77 for the 2016 period. Concession revenues decreased $3.6 million as reported, but increased $33.5 million in constant currency. The constant currency increase is a result of the 6.1% increase in attendance and an 11.3% increase in constant currency concession revenues per patron from $2.30 for the 2015 period to $2.56 for the 2016 period. The increase in attendance was due to new theatres and the success of the films released during the 2016 period. Average ticket price and concession revenues per patron increased primarily driven by price increases, which was primarily due to local inflation. |

Impairment charges for the 2016 period impacted six of our twenty-seven reporting units. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Loss on Sale of Assets and Other.We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $11.0 million during the 2016 period compared to $3.9 million during the 2015 period. The loss recorded during the 2016 period was primarily due to the retirement of assets due to theatre remodels and closures, partially offset by a gain on the sale of our investment in RealD stock (see Note 7) and a gain on the sale of a land parcel. The loss recorded during the 2015 period included lease termination costs, contract termination costs and the retirement of assets due to theatre remodels and closures, partially offset by gains related to lease amendments that resulted in a reduction of certain capital lease liabilities, the sale of an investment in a Taiwan joint venture, and the sale of a land parcel in the U.S.
Interest Expense.Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $82.0 million for the 2016 period compared to $84.9 million for the 2015 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
We primarily collect our revenues in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of concessions. Nearly all of our theatres also provide the patron a choice of using a credit card, debit card or advanced-sale type certificates such as a gift card. 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 was $278.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $226.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities have been principally related to the development, remodel 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 senior secured credit facility. Cash used for investing activities was $230.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $231.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in millions):
Period | New Theatres | Existing Theatres | Total | |||||||||
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 | $ | 65.6 | $ | 164.7 | $ | 230.3 | ||||||
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 | $ | 90.8 | $ | 141.6 | (a) | $ | 232.4 |
(a) | Includes approximately $26.3 million for the purchase of our corporate headquarters building in Plano, TX. |
Capital expenditures for existing theatres in the table above includes the costs of remodeling certain of our existing properties to include Luxury Loungers and expanded concession offerings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we had an average of 75 and 28 of our domestic screens, respectively, temporarily closed for such remodels.
Our U.S. theatre circuit consisted of 339 theatres and 4,542 screens at September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we built three new theatres with 33 screens, acquired four theatres with 52 screens and closed five theatres and 61 screens. At September 30, 2016, we had signed commitments to open three new theatres with 36 screens in domestic markets during the remainder of 2016 and open ten new theatres with 106 screens subsequent to 2016. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 142 domestic screens will be approximately $87 million.
Our international theatre circuit consisted of 183 theatres and 1,323 screens at September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we built eight new theatres with 54 screens and closed one theatre with nine screens. At September 30, 2016, we had signed commitments to open four new theatres with 24 screens in international markets during the remainder of 2016 and open six new theatres and 41 screens subsequent to 2016. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 65 international screens will be approximately $31 million.
Actual expenditures for continued theatre development, remodels 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 senior secured credit facility, and proceeds from debt issuances, sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
Cinemark USA, Inc. has a senior secured credit facility that includes a $700.0 million term loan, with a maturity date of May 2022, and a $100.0 million revolving credit line, with a maturity date of December 2017.
On May 16, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. made a principal pre-payment of $13.5 million using the proceeds received from the sale of shares of RealD (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). In accordance with the terms of the senior secured credit facility agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), the pre-payment was applied first to the next four principal installments, and second, to the remaining installments pro-rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Therefore, quarterly payments in the amount of $1.4 million are due on the term loan beginning June 30, 2017 through March 31, 2022, with the remaining principal of $635.3 million due on May 8, 2022. The Company did not incur any fees as a result of the pre-payment.
On June 13, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. amended its senior secured credit facility, to reduce the rate at which the term loan bears interest by 0.25%. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $0.8 million in connection with the amendment, which are reflected as a reduction of long term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $0.3 million in legal and other fees that are reflected as loss on debt amendments and refinancing on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Interest on the term loan accrues at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the greater of (1) the US “Prime Rate” as quoted in The Wall Street Journal or if no such rate is quoted therein, in a Federal Reserve Board statistical release, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a one-month Eurodollar-based rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.75% per annum, or (B) a Eurodollar-based rate for a period of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months plus a margin of 2.75% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the greater of (1) the US “Prime Rate” as quoted in The Wall Street Journal or if no such rate is quoted therein, in a Federal Reserve Board statistical release, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a one-month Eurodollar-based rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, or (B) a Eurodollar-based rate for a period of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months 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.
The Credit Agreement 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 our 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 or 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 Credit Agreement.
The dividend restriction contained in the Credit Agreement 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 Credit Agreement; 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 Credit Agreement, and (c) certain other defined amounts. As of September 30, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $2,161.9 million to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the agreement.
At September 30, 2016, there was $663.8 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 Credit Agreement at September 30, 2016 was approximately 3.3% per annum.

Covenant Compliance
As of September 30, 2016, we believe we were in full compliance with all agreements, including all related covenants, governing our outstanding debt.
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 July, 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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other relevant market prices.
Interest Rate Risk
We are currently party to a variable rate debt facility. An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest expense relating to our variable rate debt. At September 30, 2016, we had an aggregate of approximately $663.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on the interest rates in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2016, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $6.6 million.

Calculation of Adjusted EBITDA
The Company includes Adjusted EBITDA in its segment disclosure, which is included in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the Company’s industry. The Company includes Adjusted EBITDA in its financial statement disclosures because the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources, and believes it provides management and investors with additional information to measure the Company’s performance and liquidity, estimate the Company’s value and evaluate its ability to service debt. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.
The Company receives cash distributions from certain of its equity investees that, under equity method accounting, are applied against the investment basis of such equity investees. The Company has determined that including these cash distributions in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information regarding the Company’s performance and liquidity and does so in a manner comparable with industry peers. As noted in Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company began including such cash distributions received from equity investees that were recorded as a reduction of the respective investment balances as part of its Adjusted EBITDA calculation. The change was made effective beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2016, with prior periods being recast to reflect the same presentation. The table below presents Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015 on this recast basis.
Year Ended December 31, 2015 | ||||
Adjusted EBITDA - as reported | $ | 663,755 | ||
