TORONTO — April 29, 2010 — IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX)today reported adjusted EBITDA (as defined by the Company’s credit facility) of $42.0 million and $93.4 million for the first quarter and last twelve months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, compared to $7.0 million and $15.1 million for the first quarter and last twelve months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. Total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased 120% to $72.8 million, a record for a single quarter for the Company, compared to total revenue of $33.1 million in the same period last year. First quarter 2010 adjusted net income, which excludes the impact of variable stock compensation, was $35.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.06) per share on the same basis last year. Reported net income was $26.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to a reported net loss of $(2.6) million, or a net loss of $(0.06) per share for the first quarter last year.
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company signed contracts for 41 theatre systems including 19 joint revenue sharing system arrangements and 22 sales arrangements, of which 14 were digital system upgrades. This compares to a total of three system signings in the first quarter of 2009, all of which were system sales, and a total of 35 system signings for all of fiscal 2009. Since quarter-end, the Company has signed deals for another 13 theatre systems, many of which have been announced throughout the month of April.
“We are very pleased with our first quarter financial results,” said IMAX Chief Executive Officer Richard L. Gelfond. “Our strong operating and financial performance demonstrates what can happen when great films are combined with our growing theatre network. While we are pleased to have generated record quarterly financial results, we believe the longer term benefits of titles such asAvatarandAlice in Wonderlandto our business transcend a single quarter. Such benefits are perhaps best evidenced by the number of theatre deals we are doing, which will fuel additional growth for the Company over the long-term, and an increased level of tentpole movies being committed to the IMAX theatre network.”
Adjusted first quarter 2010 net income and adjusted first quarter 2009 net loss exclude the impact of the changes in value of the Company’s variable stock compensation. The first quarter of 2010 included an $8.7 million charge resulting primarily from the increased value of the Company’s variable stock compensation at the end of the period (primarily driven by the $4.68 increase in the Company’s stock price over the course of the first quarter, which impacts variable stock compensation), as compared to less than a $0.1 million charge from variable stock compensation in the first quarter
1
of 2009. For a reconciliation of reported net income (loss) to adjusted results and the definition of adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company’s credit facility, please see the tables at the end of this press release.
Revenue from joint revenue sharing arrangements increased nearly nine-fold to $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. In the first quarter, the Company installed a total of six systems under joint revenue sharing arrangements, including one digital upgrade, compared to 22 such installations, including five digital upgrades, in the first quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2010, a total of 122 theatres under joint revenue sharing arrangements were in operation, a 77% increase compared to 69 joint revenue sharing theatres operating as of March 31, 2009. Joint revenue sharing theatres open for the entire first quarter of 2010 generated gross box office per screen averages of approximately $665,000 compared to $152,000 last year.
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recognized revenue on three full, new theatre systems with an average value of $1.6 million, compared to five in the first quarter of 2009, which also had an average value of $1.6 million. The Company also installed nine digital system upgrades in the fist quarter of 2010 compared to three in the same year-ago period. The Company has strategically elected to sell digital system upgrades at a lower sales price and gross margin than a new theatre system as the Company believes this initiative will help to drive box office revenue for its customers and IMAX by maximizing the number of IMAX titles they can show. Each period also included the sale of one used system. Due to the lower number of new systems installed this year versus last year, the increased amount of digital system upgrades, and settlement revenue of $1.2 million last year compared to zero this year, revenue from IMAX systems decreased 33% to $11 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2009.
Mr. Gelfond commented, “Our strategic initiative to upgrade our film-based network to digital continues to progress well, and our customers continue to show interest in upgrading their theatres from film to digital. Over the past 15 months, we have upgraded 35 film-based systems, and that pace has accelerated over the past six months. These digital upgrades will help to drive our box office revenue as well as that of our customers by maximizing the number of IMAX titles they can show.”
Given recent deal signings for new systems, the Company now expects to install 40 to 45 joint revenue sharing theatres from backlog in fiscal 2010, up from its previous outlook of 35 to 40 installations. In addition, the Company expects to install approximately 15 to 20 new sales and sales-type lease systems (excluding upgrades) in 2010, up from its previous outlook of approximately 10 to 15 new installations. In any given year, the Company may also have a number of theatre deals that sign and install within the same calendar year. In addition, system installations can slip from period to period, often for reasons outside of the Company’s control.
For the first quarter of 2010, total film revenue increased 275% to $29.3 million, compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. Production and IMAX DMR® revenues increased to $23.5 million, compared to $3.7 million in the year ago period. First quarter results were driven by the stronger film slate in 2010 versus the same quarter in 2009 and the increased number of IMAX® theatres as compared to a year ago.
Gross box office from DMR titles was $232.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $28.0 million in the first quarter of 2009. The primary drivers of gross box office in the first quarter were Twentieth Century Fox’sAvatar: An IMAX 3D Experience® and Disney’sAlice in Wonderland: An IMAX 3D Experience.Avatarhas generated approximately $231 million of worldwide box office to date ($171.9 million was captured in the first quarter of 2010). The 179 domestic theatres that playedAvatarsince December 18th had a per screen average of $714,000, and the international per screen average was $1,116,696.Alice in Wonderlandhas generated approximately $58.9 million in worldwide box office to date ($51.6 million of which was captured in the first quarter), for a domestic per screen average of $200,000 and international per screen average of $242,000. On March 26th, DreamWorks Animation’sHow To Train Your Dragon: An IMAX 3D Experience was released day-and-date to IMAX theatres and has generated approximately $26.3 million in worldwide box office to date ($8.2 million of which was captured in the first quarter) for a per screen average of approximately $107,000 to date.
The Company commented that second quarter 2010 gross box office to date equals $30.0 million, a 78% increase compared to $16.8 million in the same timeframe for the second quarter of 2009.

First quarter 2010 gross margin increased to $48.3 million, or 66.4% of revenue, from $14.2 million, or 42.9% of revenue in the first quarter of 2009. The primary drivers of the increase in gross margin were the Company’s joint revenue and DMR film business segments.
First quarter 2010 selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding the $8.7 million variable stock compensation charge, was $10.8 million, or 14.8% of revenue, relatively flat compared to $10.8 million, or 32.7% of revenue, on the same basis in the first quarter of 2009. Reported first quarter selling, general and administrative expense was $19.5 million, compared to $10.9 million in the year ago period.
The Company ended the first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million, compared to $18.7 million at the end of last year’s first quarter and $20.1 million as of year end 2009. During the quarter, the Company paid down $10 million of its bank debt, resulting in net debt of $16.5 million as of quarter end, compared to $161.3 million at the end of last year’s first quarter and $29.9 million as of year end 2009.
Mr. Gelfond concluded, “2010 is off to a great start, and we are pleased with the positive momentum fueling our business. We believe we have a very strong film slate for 2010, and with yesterday’s film deal inked with Warner Bros. and new theatre announcements, we are beginning to paint a picture of 2011 and beyond. We are particularly pleased with the many theatre signings overseas, where our brand is gaining traction and where we see much of our future growth residing, providing a complement to our brand’s strong foothold in North America.”
As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s backlog consisted of 156 theatre systems, compared to 190 theatre systems in backlog as of March 31, 2009. Included in the 2010 and 2009 system backlog totals were 56 and 89 theatres, respectively, under joint revenue sharing arrangements and 100 and 101 theatres, respectively, under sales and sales-type lease arrangements. As of March 31, 2010, 172 digital systems were in operation, compared to 73 as of March 31, 2009.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) provided in this release, the Company has presented adjusted EBITDA as defined by its Credit Facility and adjusted earnings per share. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its business based on financial measures such as revenue, adjusted EBITDA as defined by its Credit Facility and adjusted earning per share. The Company uses these measures to assess operating results and performance of its segments, perform analytical comparisons, identify strategies to improve performance and allocate resources to various business segments. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share are relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of each segment using the same metric management uses and will help to facilitate comparisons of its past and present performance. The Company excludes variable stock compensation from the calculation of adjusted earnings per share due to its volatility from period to period which is primarily driven by the increase or decrease in the Company’s stock price over a given period which is difficult to predict. Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures, they should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flows provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Credit Facility Requirements:
The Credit Facility provides that so long as the term loan remains outstanding, the Company will be required to maintain: (i) a ratio of funded debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 2:1 through December 31, 2010, and (ii) a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA of not more than 1.75:1 thereafter. If the Company repays the term loan in full, it will remain subject to such ratio requirements only if Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than $10.0 million or Cash and Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than $15.0 million. The ratio of funded debt to EBITDA was 0.43:1 at March 31, 2010, where Funded Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments and was $40.0 million. EBITDA is calculated as follows:
