Digiplex Chairman and CEO Bud Mayo stated, “The September quarter was another productive period for Digiplex as well as for the overall U.S. box office, which rose more than 6%, buoyed by a record-setting summer slate. Importantly, our growing organization again achieved revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and theater level cash flow increases, versus the year-ago period. Per screen attendance, admissions and concessions sales also trended higher in fiscal Q1 2014, compared to Q1 ’13 levels, over our considerably larger theater and screen base.
“To support future circuit growth we successfully completed a $5.7 million registered direct offering of DCIN Class A Common Stock to institutional investors in October, pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement. In addition to footprint expansion, gross proceeds are expected to be utilized for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt, capital expenditures, the acquisition of additional units of membership interest in our joint venture, Start Media/Digiplex, LLC and the financing of ongoing operating expenses and overhead.
“Several weeks after the share offering we entered into asset purchase agreements to acquire an 8-plex located in Mechanicsburg, PA (Harrisburg DMA 39) as well as a 7-screen theater based in Churchville, MD (Baltimore DMA 27). In addition, we signed a multi-year theater operating lease that takes effect April 1, 2014. We expect to begin occupancy of the New Smyrna Beach, FL (Daytona DMA 19) 12-plex in late spring or early summer next year, following completion of digital projection system installations at this location. This entertainment complex will be operated under Digiplex’s theater management agreement with Start Media/Digiplex. Additionally, today we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire a 10-plex in Londonderry, NH (Boston DMA 7), and also announced the upcoming addition of two screens to an existing theater.”

(1) TLCF is intended to be a measure of theater profitability. Therefore, our corporate general and administrative expenses have been excluded.
(2) Represents the fair value of shares of Class A common stock and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employees for services rendered. As these are non-cash charges, we believe that it is appropriate to show Adjusted EBITDA excluding this item.
(3) Primarily represents professional fees incurred in connection with specific acquisitions. Since the amounts will vary depending on the size and quantity of any acquisition, and are not part of ongoing operations of our theaters, we believe that it is appropriate to exclude these items from Adjusted EBITDA.
(4) To add back management fees to Digiplex from Start Media/Digiplex, LLC.
(5) Represents non-cash deferred rent expense which is included in our facility lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As these are non-cash changes, we believe it is appropriate to show TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA excluding this item.
