Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014

~ Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend ~

~ Provides 2015 Outlook ~

Centennial, CO – February 26, 2015 – National CineMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCMI) (the Company), the managing member and owner of 45.8% of National CineMedia, LLC (NCM LLC), the operator of the largest in-theatre digital media network in North America, today announced consolidated results for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2015.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 0.3% to $123.1 million from $122.7 million for the comparable quarter last year. Excluding revenue from the Fathom Events division that was sold in December 2013, advertising revenue increased 13.9% from $108.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events increased 22.3% to $72.5 million from $59.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $8.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share compared to net income of $19.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding $3.8 million in pre-tax costs associated with the proposed merger with Screenvision in the fourth quarter of 2014, the impact of the Fathom business on the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2014 and non-cash impairment charges in 2013, net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 would have decreased to $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $0.19 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

For the year ended January 1, 2015, total revenue decreased 14.9% to $394.0 million from $462.8 million for the year ended December 26, 2013. Excluding revenue from the Fathom Events division that was sold in December 2013, advertising revenue decreased 7.6% from $426.3 million for the year ended December 26, 2013. Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events decreased 12.6% to $199.3 million from $228.0 million for the year ended December 26, 2013. Net income for the year ended January 1, 2015 was $13.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share compared to net income of $41.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share for the year ended December 26, 2013. Excluding $7.5 million in pre-tax costs in 2014 associated with the proposed merger with Screenvision, the impact of the Fathom business on 2013 and 2014 and impairment charges in 2013, net income for the year ended January 1, 2015 would have decreased to $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $0.57 per diluted share, for the year ended December 26, 2013.

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on March 26, 2015 to stockholders of record on March 12, 2015. The Company intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend for the foreseeable future at the discretion of the Board of Directors consistent with the Company’s intention to distribute over time a substantial portion of its free cash flow in the form of dividends to its stockholders. The declaration, payment, timing and amount of any future dividends payable will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors who will take into account general economic and business conditions, the Company’s financial condition, available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, and any other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.

Commenting on the Company’s 2014 results, Kurt Hall, NCM’s Chairman and CEO said, “2014 was a rollercoaster year for our company as the impact of new digital technology and the continued expansion of online content accelerated changes in consumer viewing habits. Despite these competitive pressures, we finished the year strong with Q4 2014 Adjusted OIBDA growth of 22% over the prior year (excluding Fathom). We are projecting further growth in 2015 as our effective competition in the TV upfront process produced national commitments for calendar 2015 that were nearly 75% higher than those booked going into 2014.”

Mr. Hall concluded, “Our ability to continue to compete more effectively in the broader video advertising marketplace will be closely tied to our continued success in the TV upfront sales process and the further expansion of our network. Further network expansion will enable us to offer marketers the broad audiences required to create meaningful targeted campaigns and the market coverage ubiquity that is now offered by our video advertising competitors, including broadcast, cable, online and mobile networks.”

Revenue excluding Fathom Events, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events are non-GAAP measures. See the tables at the end of this release for the reconciliations to the closest GAAP basis measurements.

Supplemental Information

Integration payments due from Cinemark and AMC associated with Rave Theatres for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013 and the year ended January 1, 2015 and December 26, 2013 were $0.8 million, $0.7 million, $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The integration payments were recorded as a reduction of an intangible asset.

First Quarter and Full Year 2015 Outlook

For the first quarter of 2015, the Company expects total revenue to be up 7% to 11% and Adjusted OIBDA is expected to be up 11% to 24% from the first quarter of 2014.

For the full year 2015, the Company expects total revenue to be up 7% to 10% and Adjusted OIBDA is expected to be up 5% to 10% from the full year 2014. The Company expects total revenue in the range of $422.0 million to $432.0 million for the full year 2015, compared to total revenue for the full year 2014 of $394.0 million and Adjusted OIBDA in the range of $210.0 million to $220.0 million for the full year 2015 compared to Adjusted OIBDA for the full year 2014 of $199.3 million.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Unaudited

OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin

Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”), Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. OIBDA represents consolidated net income plus income tax expense, interest and other costs and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted OIBDA excludes from OIBDA non-cash share based compensation costs and merger-related administrative costs. Adjusted OIBDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate operating performance, to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies, non-cash share based compensation programs, levels of mergers and acquisitions, interest rates or debt levels or income tax rates. A limitation of these measures, however, is that they exclude depreciation and amortization, which represent a proxy for the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting the effect of the Company’s share based payment costs or costs associated with the proposed Screenvision merger. OIBDA or Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income, net income or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that consolidated net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, or calculations in the Company’s debt agreement.

The following tables reconcile consolidated net income to OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events

Revenue excluding Fathom Events and Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Revenue excluding Fathom Events represents total revenue less revenue of our Fathom Events operating segment which was sold on December 26, 2013. Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events represents Adjusted OIBDA (defined above) less operating income of our Fathom Events operating segment. These non-GAAP financial measures are used to provide readers a comparison of our fourth quarter and full year 2014 results and outlook for the fourth quarter and full year 2014 to our results in the comparable period of 2013 without the Fathom Events operating segment included. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures because they eliminate a portion of our business that was disposed of to highlight trends in its ongoing business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Revenue excluding Fathom Events and Adjusted OIBDA excluding Fathom Events should not be regarded as an alternative to revenue, operating income, net income or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that revenue and consolidated net income are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net Income and Earnings per Share Excluding Merger-Related Administrative Costs, Fathom Events and Impairment Charges

Net income and earnings per share excluding merger-related administrative costs, Fathom Events and impairment charges are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Net income and earnings per share excluding merger-related administrative costs, Fathom Events and impairment charges are calculated using reported net income and earnings per share and the merger-related administrative costs and the results of the Fathom Events operating segment and impairment charges shown in the below table. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to a method used by the Company’s management and helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance. Net income excluding merger-related administrative costs, Fathom Events and impairment charges should not be regarded as an alternative to net income and should not be regarded as an alternative to earnings per share or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that net income and earnings per share are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
