Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Carmike Cinemas to Acquire Nine Entertainment Complexes with 147 Screens from Muvico Theaters
- Acquired Theaters Include Two Bogarts Bar & Grill Restaurants, Two IMAX and Two MuviXL Large Screen Auditoriums
COLUMBUS, Georgia and FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida November 4, 2013 Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC), a leading entertainment, digital cinema and 3-D motion picture exhibitor, announced today the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase nine entertainment complexes with an aggregate of 147 screens located in Florida, California and Illinois from Muvico Entertainment, L.L.C. (dba Muvico Theaters) for $31.75 million in cash. All assets and obligations being acquired are subject to customary accounting adjustments to reflect acquisition date fair value as well as the reclassification of certain lease related obligations. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Upon closing, Carmikes theatre portfolio will increase to 257 theatres with an aggregate of 2,681 screens in 37 states. The acquisition is projected to add incremental revenue of $68 million and, after general and administrative synergies, pro forma EBITDA of $5.4 million to Carmikes financials for the trailing twelve month period ended August 31, 2013. A reconciliation of net income to pro forma EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) is included below.
Carmike Cinemas President and Chief Executive Officer David Passman stated, This opportunistic acquisition of nine premium properties in three states will further increase our revenue and operating base and represents another excellent opportunity to expand our platform in attractive, complementary markets. Consistent with Carmikes stated acquisition criteria, this transaction presents a number of operational and cost synergy opportunities.
Similar to Carmike, Muvico is a cinema technology leader and industry pioneer, with recent capital expenditures for digital projection system upgrades, IMAX and MuviXL large format screens, installations of cutting-edge sound, reserved seating and ticket kiosks, as well as additional facility enhancements. We expect limited incremental maintenance capital expenditures on these acquired facilities over the near-term.
The acquisition also will bring two Bogarts Bar & Grill restaurants to our circuit at the Thousand Oaks, Calif. and Rosemont, Ill. complexes, furthering our entry into the full-service food and beverage arena. A majority of the theatres have beer and wine service, as well as on-site entertainment centers, party rooms and conference facilities.
Carmikes ongoing operating execution, combined with select accretive transactions, has continued to positively impact our top- and bottom-line results, further strengthening our position to secure additional growth opportunities as we move closer to our 300 location, 3,000 screen goal. We are delighted to add these well-maintained theatres to our expanding circuit, and the entire Carmike team looks forward to welcoming the Muvico associates to our growing family, concluded Mr. Passman.
Muvico Entertainment L.L.C. President and Chief Executive Officer, Neil Bretan stated, We are pleased that a circuit with the visionary leadership and caliber of seasoned management of Carmike will be the new stewards of the Muvico assets and brand. We are confident Carmikes commitment to the high level of guest service Muvico has consistently delivered to our loyal guests over the last twenty years will make the transition to new ownership a seamless one for all.
Of the acquired auditoriums, 97% feature digital projection systems and all contain luxurious stadium seating configurations. Approximately 24 percent of the screens are 3-D-capable and four theatres have premium large format screens, two IMAX auditoriums as well as two MuviXL large screen auditoriums. All locations include D-BOX motion-code action seats. Carmike operates 28 of its own premium large format auditoriums, with 20 proprietary BigD large format digital experience screens in addition to its eight IMAX locations. Of the nine theatres being purchased, seven are located in Florida, where Carmike currently has 13 locations. The Rosemont 18 is slated to be Carmikes 11th Illinois theatre. The Thousand Oaks 14 will be Carmikes first California-based complex, marking its 37th state with at least one location. All 147 screens in this prospective transaction are already participants in Screenvisions cinema advertising network, which includes more than 14,000 screens throughout the US.
