NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

(unaudited)

(in thousands except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This information reflects all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. That report includes a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the first three months of 2014.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Estimates

In the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, asset valuations, impairment assessments, lease classification, employee benefits, income taxes, reserves and other provisions and contingencies. These estimates are based on the information available when recorded. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period they are determined.

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations for theatres that have been disposed of or classified as held for sale are eliminated from the Company’s continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Theatres are reported as discontinued operations when the Company no longer has continuing involvement in the theatre operations and the cash flows have been eliminated, which generally occurs when the Company no longer has operations in a given market. See Note 6—Discontinued Operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company performs its impairment analysis at the individual theatre-level, the lowest level of independent, identifiable cash flow. Management reviews all available evidence when assessing long-lived assets for impairment, including negative trends in theatre-level cash flow, the impact of competition, the age of the theatre, and alternative uses of the assets. The Company’s evaluation of negative trends in theatre-level cash flow considers the seasonality of the business, with significant revenues and cash flow generated in the summer and year-end holiday season. Absent any unusual circumstances, management evaluates new theatres for potential impairment only after a theatre has been open and operational for a sufficient period of time to allow its operations to mature.

Table of Contents

For those assets that are identified as potentially being impaired, if the undiscounted future cash flows from such assets are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. The fair value of the assets is primarily estimated using the discounted future cash flow of the assets with consideration of other valuation techniques and using assumptions consistent with those used by market participants. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value; significant assumptions include attendance levels, admissions and concessions pricing, and the weighted-average cost of capital. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the Senior Secured Notes and Credit Facility described in Note 3—Debt is estimated based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement.

See Note 11—Acquisitions for fair value of assets acquired.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has no other comprehensive income items.

Reclassifications

The Company previously reported salaries and benefits and theatre occupancy costs as a component of other theatre operating costs in its consolidated statements of operations. The 2013 amounts have been reclassified from other theatre operating costs to separate line items on the consolidated statement of operations to conform to the 2014 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward except when (1) an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position; or (2) the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose (provided that the tax law permits a choice). If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset. The amendment does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. This ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about disposal transactions that do not meet discontinued operations criteria. Under ASU 2014-08, a component of an entity is classified as a discontinued operation if 1) the component has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and 2) the component or group of components represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major impact on an entity’s operations or financial results. For transactions that do not meet discontinued operations criteria but are considered individually significant components, additional disclosure is required. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014.

The Company periodically closes certain theatres due to an expiring lease, underperformance or the better opportunity to deploy invested capital, and classifies the operations and cash flows as discontinued operations when the Company no longer has operations in a given market. The operations and cash flows associated with these closed theatres are not significant to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or cash flows. Following the issuance of ASU 2014-08, the Company does not believe that the majority of theatre closures will be classified as discontinued operations or will be considered individually significant components.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2—IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, impairment charges aggregated to $358 and $192, respectively. The impairment charges for both periods primarily resulted from the continued deterioration of previously impaired theatres.

The estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $373. These fair value estimates are considered Level 3 estimates within the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, and were derived primarily from discounting estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows for a particular theatre are based on historical cash flows for that theatre, after giving effect to future attendance fluctuations, and are projected through the remainder of its lease term or useful life. The Company projects future attendance fluctuations of (10%) to 10%. The risk-adjusted rate of return used to discount these cash flows ranges from 10% to 15%.

7.375% Senior Secured Notes

In April 2012, the Company issued $210,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2019 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The proceeds were used to repay the Company’s $265,000 senior secured term loan that was due in January 2016 with a then outstanding balance of $198,700. Interest is payable on the Senior Secured Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by any future domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Company. Debt issuance costs and other transaction fees of $8,600 are included in other non-current assets and amortized over the life of the debt as interest expense. The Senior Secured Notes are secured, subject to certain permitted liens, on a second priority basis by substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ current and future property and assets (including the capital stock of the Company’s current subsidiaries), other than certain excluded assets.

At any time prior to May 15, 2015, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.375% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date; provided, however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes are outstanding immediately following the redemption. In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2015, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes by paying a “make-whole” premium calculated as described in the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes (the “Indenture”). The Company has not separated the make-whole premium from the underlying debt instrument to account for it as a derivative instrument as the economic characteristics and risks of this embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the underlying debt.

At any time on or after May 15, 2015, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes at redemption prices calculated based on a percentage of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, depending on the date on which the Senior Secured Notes are redeemed. These percentages range from between 100.00% and 105.53%.

Following a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any portion of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2012, the Company also entered into a new $25,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus a margin of 4.50%, or Base Rate (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus a margin of 3.50%, as the Company may elect. In addition, the Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility at the rate of 0.50% per annum. The termination date of the Credit facility is April 27, 2016. The $25,000 revolving credit facility replaced the prior $30,000 revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in January 2013.

The Credit Facility includes a sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $10,000. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations of the Company and such guarantors in respect of the Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s and such subsidiaries’ current and future property and assets, other than certain excluded assets pursuant to the first lien guarantee and collateral agreement by and among the Company, such guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral trustee. In addition, the Credit Facility contains provisions to accommodate the incurrence of up to

Table of Contents

$150,000 in future incremental borrowings. While the Credit Facility does not contain any commitment by the lenders to provide this incremental indebtedness, the Credit Facility describes how such debt (if provided by the Company’s existing or new lenders) would be subject to various financial and other covenant compliance requirements and conditions at the time the additional debt is incurred. There was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2014.

The fair value of the Senior Secured Notes at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is estimated based on quoted market prices as follows:

 

     As of March 31,      As of December 31,

Fair value

   $ 228,900       $ 228,375   

Debt Covenants

The Indenture and the Credit Facility include covenants which, among other things, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability, to:

 

    incur additional indebtedness or guarantee obligations;

 

    issue certain preferred stock or redeemable stock;

 

    pay dividends beyond certain calculated thresholds, repurchase or make distributions in respect of the Company’s capital stock or make other restricted payments;

 

    make certain investments;

 

    sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets;

 

    create or incur liens or other encumbrances;

 

    prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt prior to stated maturities;

 

    designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries;

 

    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

 

    enter into a new or different line of business; and

 

    enter into certain transactions with the Company’s affiliates.

As of March 31, 2014, none of the Company’s accumulated deficit was subject to restrictions limiting the payment of dividends, and the total amount available for dividend payments under the Company’s most restrictive covenants was approximately $186,000.

The restrictive covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture and the Credit Facility.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Secured Notes may declare all the Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the acceleration date. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, such amounts with respect to the Senior Secured Notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the Senior Secured Notes.

The Credit Facility contains further limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens. In addition, to the extent the Company incurs certain specified levels of additional indebtedness, further limitations under the Credit Facility will become applicable under covenants related to sales of assets, sale-leaseback transactions, investment transactions, and the payment of dividends and other restricted payments. If the Company draws on the Credit Facility, the Company will be required to maintain a first lien leverage ratio as defined (the “Leverage Ratio”) not more than 2.75 to 1.00. The Credit Facility also contains certain representations and warranties, other affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for secured revolving credit facilities of this type.

Table of Contents

The Company’s failure to comply with any of these covenants, including compliance with the Leverage Ratio, will be an event of default under the Credit Facility, in which case the administrative agent may, with the consent or at the request of lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding loans, terminate the Credit Facility and declare all or any portion of the obligations under the Credit Facility due and payable. Other events of default under the Credit Facility include:

 

    the Company’s failure to pay principal on the loans when due and payable, or its failure to pay interest on the loans or to pay certain fees and expenses (subject to applicable grace periods);

 

    the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Credit Facility);

 

    a breach or default by the Company or its subsidiaries on the payment of principal of any other indebtedness in an aggregate amount greater than $10,000;

 

    breach of representations or warranties in any material respect;

 

    failure to perform other obligations under the Credit Facility and the security documents for the Credit Facility (subject to applicable cure periods); or

 

    certain bankruptcy or insolvency events.

In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency event of default, the Credit Facility will automatically terminate, and all obligations thereunder will immediately become due and payable.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants in its Indenture and Credit Facility.

NOTE 4—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating the tax positions.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 39.2% and 43.0%, respectively. The Company’s tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent tax items and changes in uncertain tax positions.

The Company experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), during the fourth quarter of 2008. The ownership change has and will continue to subject the Company’s pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards to an annual limitation, which will significantly restrict its ability to use them to offset taxable income in periods following the ownership change. In general, the annual use limitation equals the aggregate value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change multiplied by a specified tax-exempt interest rate.

As a result of the 2008 ownership change, the Company is subject to an approximate $1.7 million annual limitation on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and recognized built-in losses. The Company determined that at the date of the ownership change, it had a net unrealized built-in loss (“NUBIL”). The NUBIL is determined based on the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s assets and their tax basis at the ownership change. Because of the NUBIL, certain deductions recognized during the five-year period beginning on the date of the IRC Section 382 ownership change (the “recognition period”) are subjected to the same limitation as the net operating loss carryforwards. Because the annual limitation is applied first against the realized built-in losses (“RBILs”), the Company does not expect to utilize any of its net operating loss carryforwards during the five year recognition period. The amount of the disallowed RBILs could increase if the Company disposes of assets with built-in losses at the date of the ownership change during the recognition period. The recognition period ended on October 31, 2013.

Ownership changes were also deemed to have occurred during the second quarter of 2012 and third quarter of 2013. The Company does not believe these changes will further limit its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards or certain other deductions.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s total deferred tax assets, net of both deferred tax liabilities and IRC Section 382 limitations, were $104,247 and $103,881, respectively. As of each reporting date, the Company assesses whether it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, taking into account such factors as

 

10


Table of Contents

earnings history, taxable income in the carryback period, reversing temporary differences, projections of future taxable income, the finite lives of certain deferred tax assets, tax planning strategies and the impact of IRC Section 382 limitations. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. When sufficient evidence exists that indicates that recovery is not more likely than not, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets, increasing the Company’s income tax expense in the period that such conclusion is made. After reviewing all positive and negative evidence at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax asset balance would be recovered from future taxable income. The Company’s determination not to record a valuation allowance involves significant estimates and judgments. If future results are significantly different from these estimates and judgments, the Company may be required to record a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2,764, all of which would affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate, if recognized. This unrecognized tax benefit is primarily associated with the Company’s non-forfeitable ownership interest in SV Holdco, LLC (see Note 9—Screenvision Exhibition, Inc.). The Company has recognized a tax basis for these units that is lower than their carrying value for financial statement purposes. However, as this tax position may not be sustained upon examination, the Company has recorded a related liability for this uncertain tax position. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $2,560 associated with the Company’s non-forfeitable ownership interest in SV Holdco, LLC may be recognized by the end of 2014 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.

NOTE 5—EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

In March 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Incentive Stock Plan”). The Company’s Compensation and Nominating Committee (or similar committee) may grant stock options, stock grants, stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan to certain eligible employees and to outside directors. As of March 31, 2014, there were 1,050,084 shares available for future grants under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. The Company’s policy is to issue new shares upon exercise of options and the issuance of stock grants.

The Company also issues restricted stock awards to certain key employees and directors. Generally, the restricted stock vests over a one to three year period and compensation expense is recognized over the one to three year period equal to the grant date fair value of the shares awarded. As of March 31, 2014, the Company also had 384,196 shares of performance-based awards outstanding which are dependent on the achievement of EBITDA targets that vest over a three-year period. As of March 31, 2014, 167,667 shares of these performance-based stock awards have been earned due to the achievement of EBITDA targets. Performance-based stock awards are recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant and the number of shares ultimately expected to vest. The Company has determined the achievement of the performance target for the unearned awards is probable.

The Company’s total stock-based compensation expense was approximately $797 and $711 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $6,946 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s plans. This cost is expected to be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years. This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards.

Options—Service Condition Vesting

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options for which vesting is dependent only on employees providing future service. Such stock options vest equally over a three-year period, except for options granted to members of the Board of Directors that vest immediately upon issuance. The stock options expire 10 years after the grant date. The Company’s stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on an estimated forfeiture rate of 5%.

NOTE 6—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Theatres are generally considered for closure due to an expiring lease, underperformance, or the opportunity to better deploy invested capital. The Company did not close any theatres during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company closed seven theatres and classified one theatre as discontinued operations. The Company reported the results of these operations, including gains and losses on disposal, as discontinued operations. The operations and cash flows of this theatre have been eliminated from the Company’s continuing operations, and the Company will not have any continuing involvement in its operations.

All activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013 included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations has been reclassified to separately reflect the results of operations from theatres closed in 2013 and considered discontinued operations through the respective date of the theatre closings. Assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations have not been segregated from assets and liabilities from continuing operations as they are not material.

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

The Company, in the normal course of business, is involved in routine litigation and legal proceedings, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, contractual disputes and claims alleging Americans with Disabilities Act violations. Currently, there is no pending litigation or proceedings that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on its business or its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

NOTE 8—NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents totaling 5,000 and 1,410,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of a decline in the average market price of the common stock compared to the price on the grant date.

NOTE 9—SCREENVISION EXHIBITION, INC.

On October 14, 2010, the Company finalized the modification of its long-term exhibition agreement (the “Modified Exhibition Agreement”) with Screenvision Exhibition, Inc. (“Screenvision”), the Company’s exclusive provider of on-screen advertising services. The Modified Exhibition Agreement extends the Company’s exhibition agreement with Screenvision, which was set to expire on July 1, 2012, for an additional 30 year term through July 1, 2042 (“Expiration Date”).

In connection with the Modified Exhibition Agreement, the Company received a cash payment of $30,000 from Screenvision in January 2011. In addition, on October 14, 2010, the Company received, for no additional consideration, Class C membership units

 

13


Table of Contents

representing, as of that date, approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding membership units of SV Holdco, LLC (“SV Holdco”). SV Holdco is a holding company that owns and operates the Screenvision business through a subsidiary entity. SV Holdco has elected to be taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In September 2011, the Company made a voluntary capital contribution of $718 to SV Holdco. The capital contribution was made to maintain the Company’s relative ownership interest following an acquisition by Screenvision and additional capital contributions by other owners of SV Holdco. The Company received Class A membership units representing less than 1% of the issued and outstanding membership units of SV Holdco in return for the Company’s capital contribution.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company held Class C and Class A membership units representing approximately 19% of the total issued and outstanding membership units of SV Holdco. As of March 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s ownership interest in SV Holdco is $5,518 and is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. For book purposes, the Company has accounted for its investment in SV Holdco, LLC, a limited liability company for which separate accounts of each investor are maintained, as an equity method investment pursuant to ASC 970-323-25-6.

The Company’s Class C membership units are intended to be treated as a “profits interest” in SV Holdco for U.S. federal income tax purposes and thus do not give the Company an interest in the other members’ initial or subsequent capital contributions. As a profits interest, the Company’s Class C membership units are designed to represent an equity interest in SV Holdco’s future profits and appreciation in assets beyond a defined threshold amount, which equaled $85,000 as of October 14, 2010. The $85,000 threshold amount represented the agreed upon value of initial capital contributions made by the members to SV Holdco and is subject to adjustment to account for future capital contributions made to SV Holdco. Accordingly, the threshold amount applicable to the Company’s Class C membership units equaled $88,000 as of March 31, 2014.

The Company will also receive additional Class C membership units (“bonus units”), all of which will be subject to forfeiture, or may forfeit some of its initial Class C membership units, based upon changes in the Company’s future theatre and screen count. However, the Company will not forfeit more than 25% of the Class C membership units it received in October 2010, and the Company will not receive bonus units in excess of 33% of the Class C membership units it received in October 2010. Any bonus units and the initial Class C membership units subject to forfeiture will each become non-forfeitable on the Expiration Date, or upon the earlier occurrence of certain events, including (1) a change of control or liquidation of SV Holdco or (2) the consummation of an initial public offering of securities of SV Holdco. The Company’s Class C units in SV Holdco LLC that are subject to forfeiture, and any bonus units that may be awarded in future periods, will not be recognized in its consolidated financial statements until such units become non-forfeitable. Upon recognition, the Company will record its investment in any additional Class C and bonus units and will recognize revenue equal to the then estimated fair value of such units. The non-forfeitable ownership interest in SV Holdco was recorded at an estimated fair value of $6,555 which was determined using the Black Scholes Model. The Company has applied the equity method of accounting for the non-forfeitable units and for financial reporting purposes began recording the related percentage of the earnings or losses of SV Holdco in its consolidated statement of operations since October 14, 2010. The Company’s non-forfeitable Class C and Class A membership units represented approximately 15% of the total issued and outstanding membership units of SV Holdco as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

For financial reporting purposes, the gains from both the $30,000 cash payment to the Company and its non-forfeitable membership units in SV Holdco ($36,555 in the aggregate) have been deferred and will be recognized as concessions and other revenue on a straight line basis over the remaining term of the Modified Exhibition Agreement. The Company has included in concessions and other revenue in the consolidated statement of operations amounts related to Screenvision of approximately $2,779 and $2,007 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company reclassifies certain amounts from Screenvision included in concessions and other revenue to earnings from unconsolidated affiliates. The amount reclassified is based on the Company’s non-forfeitable ownership percentage of SV Holdco membership units, represents an intercompany gain to the Company and totaled $490 and $354 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has included in accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets amounts due from Screenvision of $1,512 and $2,375 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 11—THEATRE ACQUISITIONS

On November 19, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of 9 entertainment complexes and 147 screens in three U.S. states pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Muvico Entertainment, L.L.C. (“Muvico”). The acquisition supports the Company’s growth strategy. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $30,608 in cash and the assumption of lease-related financing obligations of approximately $19,101. The purchase price was paid using cash on hand. In addition, the Company incurred contingent liabilities associated with the purchase. The fair value of this contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which represents the maximum amount of future reimbursement, is $750. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had not terminated the vendor contract.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price and purchase price allocation for Muvico based on the fair value of net assets acquired at the acquisition date.

The total non-cash consideration representing liabilities assumed in the Muvico transaction was $23,069.

The fair value of current assets and current liabilities acquired approximate their net book value at the acquisition date. The goodwill recognized of $24,443 is attributable primarily to expected synergies of achieving cost reductions and eliminating redundant administrative functions. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.

On August 16, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of three theatres and 52 screens from Cinemark USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for $10,500 in cash and the assumption of lease-related financing obligations in the amount of $5,431. The results of operations of these theatres were not significant to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs associated with this purchase were not material.

NOTE 12—LEASE TERMINATION CHARGES

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded lease termination charges of $3,063 primarily related to the closure of an underperforming theatre prior to the end of its lease term. The remaining lease term of the theatre is approximately six

years. In accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, the Company recorded a liability of $2,413 representing the present value of the future contractual commitments for the base rents, taxes and maintenance. As of March 31, 2014, the liability was $2,064. The current portion of the liability is included in accrued expenses and the long-term portion of the liability is included with other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has also recorded lease termination charges of $650 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 in connection with the early termination of a lease agreement for a new build-to-suit theatre.

NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 5, 2014, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM”) entered into a definitive merger agreement with Screenvision, a subsidiary of SV Holdco, for $225,000 in cash and $150,000 of NCM’s common stock. As of March 31, 2014, the Company held membership units in SV Holdco representing approximately 19% of the total issued and outstanding membership units of SV Holdco. The Company believes that this transaction will result in a gain on its investment in SV Holdco but is currently unable to estimate the impact of this transaction on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14—GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

In June 2012, the Company issued in a registered exchange offer $210,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2019. The Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the following 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”): Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., George G. Kerasotes Corporation, GKC Indiana Theatres, Inc., GKC Michigan Theatres, Inc., GKC Theatres, Inc., Military Services, Inc., Carmike Giftco, Inc., Carmike Reviews Holdings, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Birmingham, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Birmingham II, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Birmingham III, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Chattanooga, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Daphne, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Pensacola, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Pensacola II, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Indianapolis, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Huntsville, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Ft. Wayne, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Melbourne, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Peoria, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Port St. Lucie, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Orange Beach, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Allentown, LLC, Carmike Houston LP, LLC, Carmike Houston GP, LLC, Carmike Motion Pictures Houston, LLC and Seth Childs 12 of Kansas L.L.C.

Subsequent to the issuance of the March 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements, the Company determined it needed to revise its presentation with respect to the supplemental financial information included in this footnote. The revised presentation corrects errors identified in the allocation of interest expense, and the resulting income tax expense, between the Company and its Guarantor Subsidiaries on the consolidating statement of operations, as well as the impact of these revisions on the consolidating balance sheets and statements of cash flows. The Company had previously allocated interest expense between the Company and its Guarantor Subsidiaries while the related debt obligation was recognized only by the Company. These revisions relate solely to transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and only impact the financial statements presented in this footnote. They do not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s consolidating statements of operations are being revised in order to allocate the portion of (A) interest expense, and the related income tax expense, between the Company and its Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Company has determined that in its consolidating statements of cash flows, it needed to adjust for (B) the change in intercompany accounts due to the revised allocation of interest expense to the Company and its Guarantor Subsidiaries and (C) the classification of the net intercompany funding activity of the Company, which was previously included as an element of cash flows from financing activities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company

We are one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the United States and as of March 31, 2014 we owned, operated or had an interest in 252 theatres with 2,660 screens located in 37 states. We target small to mid-size non-urban markets with the belief that they provide a number of operating benefits, including lower operating costs and fewer alternative forms of entertainment.

As of March 31, 2014, we had 248 theatres with 2,614 screens on a digital-based platform, including 233 theatres with 983 screens equipped for 3-D. We believe our leading-edge technologies allow us not only greater flexibility in showing feature films, but also provide us with the capability to explore revenue-enhancing alternative content programming. Digital film content can be easily moved to and from auditoriums in our theatres to maximize attendance. The superior quality of digital cinema and our 3-D capability allows us to provide a quality presentation to our patrons.

We generate revenue primarily from box office receipts and concession sales along with additional revenues from screen advertising sales, our two Bogart’s Bar and Grill restaurants, our two Hollywood Connection fun centers, video games located in some of our theatres, and theatre rentals. Our revenue depends to a substantial degree on the availability of suitable motion pictures for screening in our theatres and the appeal of such motion pictures to patrons in our specific theatre markets. A disruption in the production of motion pictures, a lack of motion pictures, or the failure of motion pictures to attract the patrons in our theatre markets will likely adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our revenue also varies significantly depending upon the timing of the film releases by distributors. While motion picture distributors now release major motion pictures more evenly throughout the year, the most marketable films are usually released during the summer months and the year-end holiday season, and we usually earn more during those periods than in other periods during the year. As a result, the timing of such releases affects our results of operations, which may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

We generate the majority of our box office revenue from a particular film within the first 30 days of its release date to theatre exhibitors. Historically, films have not been released in other formats, such as DVD or video-on-demand, until approximately 120 days after the film’s initial release. However, over the past several years, the release window for films in other formats has shortened. It is possible that these release windows will continue to shorten, which could impact our ability to attract patrons to our theatres.

Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with the prospects of a film and the box office revenues of a film. Film rental rates are generally negotiated on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis and are typically higher for blockbuster films. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, primarily represent advertisements and movie listings placed in newspapers. The cost of these advertisements is based on, among other things, the size of the advertisement and the circulation of the newspaper.

Concessions costs fluctuate with our concession revenues. We purchase substantially all of our non-beverage concession supplies from one supplier and substantially all of our beverage supplies from one supplier.

Theatre labor includes a fixed cost component that represents the minimum staffing needed to operate a theatre and a variable component that fluctuates in relation to revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to address changes in attendance. Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost as most of our leases require a fixed monthly rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to percentage rent clauses that require payments of amounts based on the level of revenue achieved at the theatre-level. Other occupancy costs are substantially fixed. Other theatre operating costs consist primarily of taxes and licenses, insurance, credit and debit card fees, supplies and other miscellaneous theatre costs.

The ultimate performance of our film product any time during the calendar year will have a dramatic impact on our operating results and cash needs. In addition, the seasonal nature of the exhibition industry and positioning of film product makes our need for cash vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Generally, our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow, available funds under our credit agreement and short term float. Our ability to generate this cash will depend largely on future operations.

We continue to focus on operating performance improvements. This includes managing our operating costs, implementing pricing initiatives and closing underperforming theatres. We also intend to allocate our available capital primarily to developing new build-to-suit theatres, making strategic acquisitions, installing Big D and IMAX auditoriums and improving the condition of our theatres.

We actively seek ways to grow our circuit through the building of new theatres and strategic acquisitions. On November 19, 2013, we completed our acquisition of 9 theatres and 147 screens from Muvico Entertainment, L.L.C. for $30.6 million in cash and

 

26


Table of Contents

the assumption of lease-related financing obligations in the amount of $19.1 million. In addition, we continue to pursue opportunities for organic growth through new theatre development. We anticipate opening up to seven new build-to-suit theatres in 2014. We intend to include one large-format auditorium in each of our new build-to-suit theatres.

As of March 31, 2014, we operated 37 large-format auditoriums, including 22 Big D auditoriums, 13 IMAX auditoriums and 2 MuviXL auditoriums. We believe that our large-format auditoriums enhance the enjoyment of our audiences and plan to convert additional screens to a large-screen format in future periods. In October 2013, we entered into a new revenue sharing agreement with IMAX for 10 additional IMAX theatre systems to be installed in new construction projects and existing multiplexes. As of March 31, 2014, three of the ten IMAX theatre systems had been installed.

Two entertainment complexes acquired from Muvico include a Bogart’s Bar and Grill restaurant. In addition to these restaurants, we currently operate two Ovation Club auditoriums that feature a premier in-theatre dining experience. In certain locations, we offer an enhanced food and beverage menu, including the sale of alcoholic beverages. We anticipate expanding out in-theatre dining presence in future years. Revenues generated from the operation of these dining concepts were not significant to our consolidated statements of operations.

On May 5, 2014, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM”) entered into a definitive merger agreement with Screenvision, a subsidiary of SV Holdco, for $225.0 million in cash and $150.0 million of NCM’s common stock. As of March 31, 2014, we held membership units in SV Holdco representing approximately 19% of the total issued and outstanding membership units of SV Holdco. We believe that this transaction will result in a gain on our investment in SV Holdco but are currently unable to estimate the impact of this transaction on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

For a summary of risks and uncertainties relevant to our business, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Total operating revenues increased approximately 22.9% to $158.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $129.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to an increase in total attendance from 11.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 to 13.6 million for the first quarter of 2014, an increase in average admissions per patron from $7.02 in the first quarter of 2013 to $7.19 for the first quarter of 2014 and an increase in average concessions and other sales per patron from $4.18 in the first quarter of 2013 to $4.52 in the first quarter of 2014. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, total operating revenues increased 11.8% to $144.5 million. The increase in total revenues, excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, was due to an increase in total attendance from 11.6 million to 12.6 million, an increase in average admissions per patron from $7.02 to $7.04 and an increase in average concessions and other sales per patron from $4.18 to $4.45. Attendance and attendance per screen were up period over period due principally to a more favorable movie slate during the first quarter of 2014 and the acquired Muvico theatres. Average concessions and other sales per patron increased, primarily due to concession promotions and increased prices.

Admissions revenue increased approximately 20.4% to $97.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $81.1 million for the same period in 2013, due to an increase in total attendance from 11.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 to 13.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 and an increase in average admissions per patron from $7.02 in the first quarter of 2013 to $7.19 for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding admissions revenue of $9.0 million from the acquired Muvico theatres, admissions revenue increased 9.2% to $88.5 million in 2014 from $81.1 million in 2013.

Concessions and other revenue increased approximately 27.2% to $61.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $48.2 million for the same period in 2013 due to an increase in total attendance from 11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and an increase in average concessions and other

sales per patron from $4.18 in the first quarter of 2013 to $4.52 for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding concessions and other revenues from the acquired Muvico theatres, concessions and other revenues increased 16.1% to $56.0 million in 2014 from $48.2 million in 2013.

We operated 252 theatres with 2,660 screens at March 31, 2014 compared to 244 theatres with 2,464 screens at March 31, 2013.

Film exhibition costs. Film exhibition costs fluctuate in direct relation to the increases and decreases in admissions revenue and the mix of aggregate and term film deals. Film exhibition costs as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods with more blockbuster films. Film exhibition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $52.9 million as compared to $43.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily resulting from increased attendance and increased admissions per patron. As a percentage of admissions revenue, film exhibition costs were 54.2% and 53.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, film exhibition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $48.0 million as compared to $43.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the increase in admissions revenue. As a percentage of admissions revenue, excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, film exhibition costs were 54.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 53.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Concession costs. Concession costs fluctuate with changes in concessions revenue and product sales mix and changes in our cost of goods sold. Concession costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $7.1 million compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to increased concessions sales resulting from increased attendance during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As a percentage of concessions and other revenues, concession costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were 11.6% as compared to 12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in concession costs as a percentage of concessions and other revenues was due primarily to a decrease in discount and other promotional activities. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, concession costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $6.3 million as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, as a percentage of concessions and other revenues, concessions costs were 11.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Salaries and benefits. Salaries and benefits increased $3.1 million from $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, salaries and benefits increased approximately $1.0 million to $19.4 million. The increase in salaries and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to maintaining required staffing levels to support the increase in attendance.

Theatre occupancy costs. Theatre occupancy costs are primarily comprised of rent expense on buildings and equipment (recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the economic useful life of the lease), contingent rent and other theatre occupancy costs. Theatre occupancy costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $5.2 million to $20.4 million as compared to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, rent expense increased $2.4 million to $17.6 million. The increase in rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is due primarily to 1) an increase in rent expense of $1.4 million associated with the opening of 3 theatres and 38 screens subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by the closure of 7 theatres and 42 screens since the end of the first quarter of 2013; 2) an increase in other lease costs of approximately $0.5 million; and 3) an increase in contingent rent of approximately $0.3 million primarily due to increased admissions and concessions revenue during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Other theatre operating costs. Other theatre operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $29.4 million as compared to $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the acquired Muvico theatres, other theatre operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $26.7 million as compared to $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in our other theatre operating costs was primarily due to increases in utilities expense of $1.0 million, insurance costs of $0.5 million, repairs and maintenance expense of $0.3 million and credit card fees of $0.3 million.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of increases in professional fees of $0.6 million.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to a combination of higher balances of property and equipment due to recent theatre openings and acquisitions.

Net loss on sales of property and equipment. We recognized a gain on the sale of property and equipment of $67 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a loss on the sale of property and equipment of $80 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Impairment of long-lived assets. Impairment of long-lived assets was $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 primarily resulted from the continued deterioration of previously impaired theatres.

Operating income. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $8.1 million from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a percentage of total operating revenues, operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 5.1% as compared to 2.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This fluctuation is primarily a result of an increase in total attendance for the three months ended March 31, 2014, partially offset by an increase in fixed operating costs associated with theatres acquired during 2013 and the factors described above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $13.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to interest expense associated with financing obligations assumed from theatres acquired during 2013.

Income tax. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, primarily as a result of our loss from continuing operations. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our consolidated deferred tax assets were $104.3 million and $103.9 million, respectively. As of each reporting date, we assess whether it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, taking into account such factors as earnings history, taxable income in the carryback period, reversing temporary differences, projections of future taxable income, the finite lives of certain deferred tax assets and the impact of IRC Section 382 limitations. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. When sufficient evidence exists that indicates that recovery is not more likely than not, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets, increasing our income tax expense in the period that such conclusion is made.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 39.2%. Our tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, permanent tax items and changes in uncertain tax positions.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit. Theatres are generally considered for closure due to an expiring lease term, underperformance, or the opportunity to better deploy invested capital. We did not close any theatres during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we closed seven theatres. With respect to the closures during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we classified one theatre as discontinued operations. The operations and cash flow of this theatre has been eliminated from our operations, and we will not have any continuing involvement in its operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We typically maintain current liabilities in excess of our current assets which results in a working capital deficit. We are able to operate with a substantial working capital deficit because our operating revenues are primarily received on a cash basis. Rather than maintain significant cash balances that would result from this pattern of operating cash flows, we utilize operating cash flows in excess of those required to fund capital projects, including new build-to-suit theatres and acquisitions. We had a working capital surplus of $79.3 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to a working capital surplus of $82.1 million at December 31, 2013. The working capital surplus in 2014 and 2013 resulted from proceeds of $88.0 million received from our common stock offering in July 2013.

At March 31, 2014, we had available borrowing capacity of $25 million under our revolving Credit Facility and approximately $133.9 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand as compared to available borrowing capacity of $25 million under our revolving Credit Facility and approximately $143.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013. The material terms of our revolving credit facility (including limitations on our ability to freely use all the available borrowing capacity) are described below in “Credit Agreement and Covenant Compliance.”

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cash provided by operating activities was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due primarily to a decrease in accounts payable of $10.7 million partially offset by increased operating revenues resulting from increased attendance, admissions revenue per patron and concession and other revenues per patron. Net cash used in investing activities was $7.1 million for the three months ended Mach 31, 2014 compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in our net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to purchase price adjustments of $1.3 million paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to a 2012 acquisition. Capital expenditures were $7.5 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Capital expenditures for the 2014 period related primarily to recently constructed build-to-suit theatres. Capital expenditures for the 2013 period were primarily due to the construction of two new build-to-suit theatres opened during the first quarter of 2013. Net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to repayments of capital leases and financing obligations.

Our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow, availability under our Credit Facility and available cash. The exhibition industry is seasonal with the studios normally releasing their premiere film product during the holiday season and summer months. This seasonal positioning of film product makes our needs for cash vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Additionally, the ultimate performance of the films any time during the calendar year will have a dramatic impact on our cash flow.

We from time to time close older theatres or do not renew the leases, and the expenses associated with exiting these closed theatres typically relate to costs associated with removing owned equipment for redeployment in other locations and are not material to our operations. We did not close any theatres during the first three months of 2014 and estimate closing approximately four theatres for the full year 2014.

We plan to incur approximately $40 million in capital expenditures for calendar year 2014. We plan to open up to seven new build-to-suit theatres in 2014 and expect to include one large format digital screen in all new build-to-suit theatres. As of March 31, 2014, we have 22 Big D auditoriums, 13 IMAX auditoriums and 2 MuviXL auditoriums. We believe that the addition of Big D and IMAX auditoriums will have a positive impact on our operating results.

7.375% Senior Secured Notes

On April 27, 2012, we issued $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2019 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). Interest is payable on the Senior Secured Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2012. The Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our existing subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by any future domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries. Debt issuance costs and other transaction fees of $8.6 million are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets and amortized over the life of the debt as interest expense. The Senior Secured Notes are secured, subject to certain permitted liens, on a second priority basis by substantially all of our and our guarantors’ current and future property and assets (including the capital stock of our current subsidiaries), other than certain excluded assets.

At any time prior to May 15, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.375% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date; provided, however, that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes are outstanding immediately following the redemption. In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes by paying a “make-whole” premium calculated as described in the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes (the “Indenture”).

 

30


Table of Contents

At any time on or after May 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes at redemption prices calculated based on a percentage of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, depending on the date on which the Senior Secured Notes are redeemed. These percentages range from between 100.00% and 105.53%.

Following a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any portion of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

The Indenture includes covenants that limit the ability of us and our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness or guarantee obligations; issue certain preferred stock or redeemable stock; subject to certain exceptions, pay dividends beyond certain calculated thresholds, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets; create or incur liens or other encumbrances; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt prior to stated maturities; designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; enter into a new or different line of business; and enter into certain transactions with our affiliates. The restrictive covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Secured Notes may declare all the Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the acceleration date. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, such amounts with respect to the Senior Secured Notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the Senior Secured Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 27, 2012, we entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) by and among us, as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to the credit agreement governing the Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”), as lenders, and Macquarie US Trading LLC as administrative agent. Macquarie US Trading, LLC and Raymond James Bank, N.A. are lenders under the Credit Agreement as initially in effect.

The Credit Agreement provides a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility having a four year term, and includes a sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $10.0 million. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations of us and our guarantors in respect of the Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our and such subsidiaries’ current and future property and assets, other than certain excluded assets pursuant to the first lien guarantee and collateral agreement by and among us, such guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral trustee. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions to accommodate the incurrence of up to $150.0 million in future incremental borrowings. While the Credit Agreement does not contain any commitment by the lenders to provide this incremental indebtedness, the Credit Agreement describes how such debt (if provided by our existing or new lenders) would be subject to various financial and other covenant compliance requirements and conditions at the time the additional debt is incurred.

The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility is LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus a margin of 4.50%, or Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus a margin of 3.50%, as we may elect. In addition, we will be required to pay commitment fees on the unused portion of the Credit Facility at the rate of 0.50% per annum. The termination date of the Credit Facility is April 27, 2016.

The Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other things, limit our ability, and that of our subsidiaries, to:

 

    pay dividends beyond certain calculated thresholds or make any other restricted payments to parties other than to us;

 

    incur additional indebtedness and financing obligations;

 

    create liens on our assets;

 

    make certain investments;

 

    sell or otherwise dispose of our assets other than in the ordinary course of business;

 

31


Table of Contents
    consolidate, merge or otherwise transfer all or any substantial part of our assets;

 

    enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

 

    engage in businesses other than those in which we are currently engaged or those reasonably related thereto.

These limitations are similar to the corresponding limitations applicable under the terms of the Indenture, except that the Credit Facility contains further limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens. In addition, to the extent we incur certain specified levels of additional indebtedness, further limitations under the Credit Facility will become applicable under covenants related to sales of assets, sale-leaseback transactions, investment transactions, and the payment of dividends and other restricted payments. In addition, if we draw on the Credit Facility, we will be required to maintain a first lien leverage ratio as defined (the “Leverage Ratio”) not more than 2.75 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties, other affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for secured revolving credit facilities of this type.

Our failure to comply with any of these covenants, including compliance with the Leverage Ratio, will be an event of default under the Credit Facility, in which case the administrative agent may, with the consent or at the request of lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding loans, terminate the Credit Facility and declare all or any portion of the obligations under the Credit Facility due and payable. Other events of default under the Credit Facility include:

 

    our failure to pay principal on the loans when due and payable, or our failure to pay interest on the loans or to pay certain fees and expenses (subject to applicable grace periods);

 

    the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

 

    a breach or default by us or our subsidiaries on the payment of principal of any other indebtedness in an aggregate amount greater than $10 million;

 

    breach of representations or warranties in any material respect;

 

    failure to perform other obligations under the Credit Agreement and the security documents for the Credit Facility (subject to applicable cure periods); or

 

    certain bankruptcy or insolvency events.

In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency event of default, the Credit Facility will automatically terminate, and all obligations thereunder will immediately become due and payable.

As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants in our Indenture and Credit Facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.

As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
