AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including AMC Entertainment® Inc. ("AMCE"), American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" or "AMC"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. | ||||||||
Initial Public Offering of Holdings: On December 23, 2013, Holdings completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 18,421,053 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 2,631,579 shares of Class A common stock. As a result, the total IPO size was 21,052,632 shares of Class A common stock and the net proceeds to Holdings were $355,299,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid the remaining $281,000 in accrued offering expenses. The net IPO proceeds of $355,299,000 were contributed by Holdings to AMCE on December 23, 2013. | ||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), owns approximately 77.86% of Holdings' outstanding common stock and 91.34% of the combined voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings' affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), the entering into of mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company's assets and other extraordinary transactions. | ||||||||
Wanda Merger: Prior to the IPO, Wanda acquired Holdings, on August 30, 2012, through a merger between Holdings and Wanda Film Exhibition Co. Ltd. ("Merger Subsidiary"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda, whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Holdings with Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation and as a then wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda (the "Merger"). | ||||||||
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket breakage. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||||||
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders' equity, net earnings (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. | ||||||||
Discontinued Operations: The results of operations for the Company's discontinued operations have been eliminated from the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada. The sales price adjustment was related to tax attributes of the theatres sold in Canada, which were not determinable or probable of collection at the date of the sale. The Company completed its tax returns for periods prior to the date of sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, at which time the buyer was able to determine amounts due pursuant to the sales price adjustment and remit payment to the Company. The Company recorded the additional gain on sale following the guidance for gain contingencies in ASC 450-30-25-1 when the gains were realizable. | ||||||||
Policy for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: The Company considers the amount recorded for corporate borrowings issued or acquired at a premium above the stated principal balance to be part of the amount borrowed and classifies the related cash inflows and outflows up to but not exceeding the borrowed amount as financing activities in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For amounts borrowed in excess of the stated principal amount, a portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is considered to be a repayment of the amount borrowed and the remaining portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is an interest payment flowing through operating activities based on the level yield to maturity of the debt. | ||||||||

AMCE's Notes due 2019 | ||||||||
On January 15, 2014, AMCE launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of its outstanding 8.75% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due 2019 ("Notes due 2019") at a purchase price of $1,038.75 plus a $30.00 consent fee for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2019 validly tendered and accepted by AMCE on or before the consent payment deadline on January 29, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time (the "Consent Date"). Holders of $463,950,000, or approximately 77.33%, of the Notes due 2019 validly tendered (or defective tender waived by AMCE) and did not withdraw their Notes due 2019 prior to the expiration of the Consent Date. An additional $14,000 of Notes due 2019 was tendered from the Consent Date to the expiration date of the tender offer. The consents received exceeded the amount needed to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture under which the Notes due 2019 were issued. On February 7, 2014, AMCE amended the indenture governing the Notes due 2019 to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and other related provisions. On February 7, 2014, AMCE accepted for purchase $463,950,000 aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes due 2019, at a purchase price of $1,038.75 plus a $30.00 consent fee for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2019 validly tendered (or defective tender waived by AMCE), and, on February 14, 2014, AMCE accepted for purchase the additional $14,000 of Notes due 2019 tendered after the Consent Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at a purchase price of $1,038.75 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2019 validly tendered. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment related to the cash tender offer and redemption of the Notes due 2019 of approximately $4,383,000 in other income, partially offset by other expenses of $154,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. | ||||||||
AMCE's Notes due 2022 | ||||||||
On February 7, 2014, AMCE completed an offering of $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the "Notes due 2022") in a private offering. The Notes due 2022 mature on February 15, 2022. AMCE will pay interest on the Notes due 2022 at 5.875% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on February 15th and August 15th, commencing on August 15, 2014. AMCE may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2022 at any time on or after February 15, 2017 at 104.406% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after February 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to February 15, 2017, AMCE may redeem the Notes due 2022 at par plus a make-whole premium. AMCE used the net proceeds from the Notes due 2022 private offering, together with a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO, to pay the consideration and consent payments for the tender offer for the Notes due 2019, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related transaction fees and expenses. | ||||||||
The Notes due 2022 are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of AMCE and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured senior subordinated basis by all of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its other indebtedness. The Notes due 2022 are not guaranteed by Holdings. | ||||||||
The indenture governing the Notes due 2022 contains covenants limiting other indebtedness, dividends, purchases or redemptions of stock, transactions with affiliates and mergers and sales of assets. | ||||||||
On February 7, 2014, in connection with the issuance of the Notes due 2022, AMCE entered into a registration rights agreement. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, AMCE filed a registration statement on April 1, 2014 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an offer to exchange the original Notes due 2022 for exchange Notes due 2022 registered pursuant to an effective registration statement; the registration statement was declared effective on April 9, 2014, and AMCE commenced the exchange offer. The exchange notes will have terms substantially identical to the original notes except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and registration rights and additional interest payable for the failure to consummate the exchange offer within 210 days after the issue date. The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 9, 2014, unless extended. | ||||||||
Financial Covenants | ||||||||
Each indenture relating to AMCE's notes (Notes due 2022 and 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the "Notes due 2020")) allows it to incur specified permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction. Each indenture also allows AMCE to incur any amount of additional debt as long as it can satisfy the coverage ratio of each indenture, after giving effect to the event on a pro forma basis. Under the indenture for the Notes due 2020 (AMCE's most restrictive indenture), at March 31, 2014 AMCE could borrow approximately $1,746,400,000 (assuming an interest rate of 6.0% per annum on the additional indebtedness) in addition to specified permitted indebtedness. If AMCE cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally it can borrow an additional amount under its Senior Secured Credit Facility. The indentures also contain restrictions on AMCE's ability to make distributions to Holdings. Under the most restrictive provision set forth in the note indenture for the Notes due 2020, as of March 31, 2014, the amount of loans and dividends which AMCE could make to Holdings could not exceed approximately $578,397,000 in the aggregate. | ||||||||
As of March 31, 2014, AMCE was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2020, and the Notes due 2022. | ||||||||

NOTE 4—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | ||||||||
Common Stock Rights and Privileges | ||||||||
On December 17, 2013, Holdings reclassified each share of its existing Class A common stock and Class N common stock by filing an amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Pursuant to the reclassification, which substantively resulted in a stock split, each holder of shares of existing Class A common stock received 49.514 shares of Class B common stock for one share of existing Class A common stock, and each holder of shares of Class N common stock received 49.514 shares of new Class A common stock for one share of Class N common stock. | ||||||||
The rights of the holders of Holdings' Class A common stock and Holdings' Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion applicable to the Class B common stock. Holders of Holdings' Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Holdings' Class B common stock are entitled to three votes per share. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will share ratably (based on the number of shares of common stock held) in any dividend declared by its board of directors, subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The Class A common stock is not convertible into any other shares of Holdings' capital stock. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in Holdings' certificate of incorporation. | ||||||||
Temporary Equity | ||||||||
Certain members of management have the right to require Holdings to purchase the Class A common stock held by them under certain limited circumstances pursuant to the terms of a stockholders agreement. Beginning on January 1, 2016 (or upon the termination of a management stockholder's employment by the Company without cause, by the management stockholder for good reason, or due to the management stockholder's death or disability) management shareholders will have the right, in limited circumstances, to require Holdings to purchase shares that are not fully and freely tradeable at a price equal to the price per share paid by such management shareholder with appropriate adjustments for any subsequent events such as dividends, splits, or combinations. The share of Class A common stock, subject to the stockholder agreement, is classified as temporary equity, apart from permanent equity, as a result of the contingent redemption feature contained in the stockholder agreement. The Company determined the amount reflected in temporary equity for the Class A common stock based on the price paid per share by the management shareholders and Wanda at the date of the Merger. | ||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | ||||||||
Holdings adopted a stock-based compensation plan in December of 2013. | ||||||||
The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6,357,000 and $0 within general and administrative: other during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. The Company's financial statements reflect an increase to additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation of $6,357,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, there was approximately $3,693,000 of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost, assuming attainment of the performance target at 100%, related to stock-based compensation arrangements expected to be recognized during the remainder of calendar 2014. | ||||||||
2013 Equity Incentive Plan | ||||||||
The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock awards, and cash performance awards. The maximum number of shares of Holdings' common stock available for delivery pursuant to awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan is 9,474,000 shares. At March 31, 2014, the aggregate number of shares of Holdings' common stock remaining available for grant was 8,615,792 shares. | ||||||||
Awards Granted in 2014 | ||||||||
Holdings' Board of Directors approved awards of stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units ("PSUs") granted on January 2, 2014, to certain of the Company's employees and directors under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Participants will accrue dividend equivalents from the date of grant to be paid upon vesting and will receive dividend equivalents after vesting, equal to the amount paid in respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the PSUs. Assuming attainment of the performance target at 100%, the Company will recognize expense for these awards of approximately $4,924,000 in general and administrative: other expense over the performance and vesting period during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The Company recognized $1,231,000 of expense in general and administrative: other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014, based on current estimates that the target performance condition is expected to be achieved at 100%. | ||||||||

NOTE 5—INCOME TAXES | |
The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. | |
The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 39.0% and (25.5)%, respectively. The Company's tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes. The Company's tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2013 differ from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the state income taxes and the inability to recognize an associated deferred tax benefit, due to the Company's assessment that the realization of its deferred tax assets was unlikely. The Company released its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013. The Company believes that the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and future periods will more closely reflect the statutory tax rate. | |

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ||||||||||||||
Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||
Level 2: | Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | |||||||||||||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. | |||||||||||||

Valuation Techniques. The Company's money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. See Note 8—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. | ||||||||||||||
Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value: | ||||||||||||||

NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |
The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. | |

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, ("ASU 2014-08"). This amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and includes enhanced disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the amendment, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-08 as of the beginning of 2015 and it does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. | |
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, ("ASU 2013-05"). This amendment clarifies the applicable guidance for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. When an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the entity is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net earnings only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2013-05 as of the beginning of 2014 and the adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. | |

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share based on the two-class method. Pursuant to the two-class method, the vested RSUs are classified as participating securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of outstanding RSUs, if dilutive. Losses are not allocated to participating securities. | ||||||||
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per common share: | ||||||||

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ' |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket breakage. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders' equity, net earnings (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. | |
Discontinued Operations | ' |
Discontinued Operations: The results of operations for the Company's discontinued operations have been eliminated from the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada. The sales price adjustment was related to tax attributes of the theatres sold in Canada, which were not determinable or probable of collection at the date of the sale. The Company completed its tax returns for periods prior to the date of sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, at which time the buyer was able to determine amounts due pursuant to the sales price adjustment and remit payment to the Company. The Company recorded the additional gain on sale following the guidance for gain contingencies in ASC 450-30-25-1 when the gains were realizable. | |
Policy for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows | ' |
Policy for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: The Company considers the amount recorded for corporate borrowings issued or acquired at a premium above the stated principal balance to be part of the amount borrowed and classifies the related cash inflows and outflows up to but not exceeding the borrowed amount as financing activities in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For amounts borrowed in excess of the stated principal amount, a portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is considered to be a repayment of the amount borrowed and the remaining portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is an interest payment flowing through operating activities based on the level yield to maturity of the debt. | |
