U.S. Attendance increased 8.7% to 40.1 million patrons during the second quarter of 2026 compared with 36.9 million patrons during the second quarter of 2025 primarily driven by a stronger film slate. Average ticket price increased 4.2% to $10.83 during the second quarter of 2026 compared with $10.39 during the second quarter of 2025 driven by strategic pricing actions and higher premium format mix. Concession revenue per patron increased 4.3% to $8.70 during the second quarter of 2026 compared with $8.34 during the second quarter of 2025 primarily driven by strategic pricing actions and favorable product mix.

International. Attendance increased to 23.6 million patrons for the second quarter of 2026 compared with 21.0 million during the second quarter of 2025 reflecting a stronger film slate. Revenues, average ticket price and concession revenue per patron for our international segment, as reported, were favorably impacted by exchange rate fluctuations during the second quarter of 2026. In constant currency, the average ticket price increased 9.3% to $4.36 for the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to inflationary pricing actions, partially offset by a lower premium format mix. In constant currency, concession revenue per patron increased 3.6% to $3.46 for the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to inflationary pricing actions, partially offset by a shift in mix. Other revenue increased 29.6% in constant currency to $35.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher transaction fees, an increase in screen advertising and loyalty revenue, and inflationary impacts.

Current report

U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs were 59.5% of admissions revenue for the second quarter of 2026 compared with 59.4% of admissions revenue for the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher marketing spend.

The decrease in the concession supplies rate for the second quarter of 2026 period was primarily driven by strategic pricing actions, sourcing initiatives, and inventory management enhancements, partially offset by inflationary pressures and product mix.

Current report

Salaries and wages increased 4.5% to $95.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 period compared with $90.9 million for the second quarter of 2025 period due to higher attendance and wage and benefits inflation, partially offset by labor productivity initiatives. Facility lease expense increased 2.1% to $63.5 million, primarily due to higher percentage rent. Utilities and other costs increased 7.0% to $104.5 million, as many of these costs, such as credit card fees, repairs and maintenance, utilities and janitorial costs, are variable or semi-variable in nature and were impacted by the increase in attendance. An increase in gift card commissions and fees also contributed to the increase in utilities and other costs.

Current report

Film rentals and advertising costs were 50.7% of admissions revenue as reported for the second quarter of 2026 compared with 51.5% for the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to the overall mix of films.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net was $4.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared with $4.6 million during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in other income, net reflects a decrease in interest income, primarily due to lower average cash balances and lower interest rates, and a reduction in equity income from affiliates, partially offset by the favorable impact of the mark-to-market adjustment on our investment in NCMI under the fair value basis of accounting.

We primarily collect our revenue in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of concessions. Our revenue is generally received in cash prior to the payment of related expenses; therefore, we have an operating “float” and historically have not required traditional working capital financing. However, our working capital position will fluctuate based on seasonality, the timing and volume of new film content, the timing of interest payments on our debt as well as timing of payment of other operating expenses that are paid annually or semi-annually, such as property and other taxes and incentive compensation. We believe our existing cash and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, and known contractual obligations for the next twelve months and beyond.
