AMC Investor Day Presentation Deck
Accompanying Notes
Starting in the fourth quarter of 2018, AMC disclosed a new "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" metric as a measure of our liquidity. We believe this measure is indicative of our ability to generate cash in excess of
maintenance capital expenditures and certain other non-operating costs and for other uses including repayment of our corporate borrowings and generating cash for growth opportunities.
1) We present "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" as a supplemental measure of our liquidity. Management uses this measure and we believe it is helpful to investors as an indication of our ability to generate cash in-
excess-of maintenance capital expenditures and certain other non-operating and costs and for other uses including repayment of our corporate borrowings and generating cash for growth opportunities.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus merger, acquisition and transaction costs, less maintenance capital
expenditures and landlord contributions. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. It should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for or
superior to net cash provided by operating activities. The term adjusted free cash flow may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Also provided is a reconciliation of Capital Expenditures
disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows made up of growth capital expenditures, maintenance capital expenditures and change in construction payables as further explanation of the
components of adjusted free cash flow.
2) Merger, acquisition and transition costs are excluded as they are non-operating. We excluded the 2017 Loss on NCM that was recorded in Merger, acquisition and transaction costs since it was non-cash.
3) Maintenance capital expenditures are amounts required to keep our existing theatres in compliance with regulatory requirement and in a sustainable good operating condition, including expenditures for
repair of HVAC, sight and sound systems, compliance with ADA requirements and technology upgrades of existing systems.
4) Growth capital expenditures are investments that enhance the guest experience and grow revenues and profits and include initiatives such as theatre remodels, acquisitions, newly built theatres, premium
large formats, enhanced food and beverage offerings and service models and technology that enable efficiencies and additional revenue opportunities. We did not deduct these from adjusted free cash flow
because they are discretionary, and the related benefits may not be fully reflected in our net cash provided by operating activities.
5) Landlord contributions represent reimbursements in our strategic growth initiatives by our landlords.
6) Change in construction payables are changes in amounts accrued for capital expenditures and are not deducted or added back to Adjusted Free Cash Flow as they fluctuate significantly from period to
period based on the timing of actual payments.
