Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today announced fiscal third quarter 2009 results and declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per common share.
Total revenues for the third quarter ended October 1, 2009 were $673.5 million compared to total revenues of $757.6 million for the third quarter ended September 25, 2008. Net income (loss) attributable to controlling interest was $(1.8) million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $31.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings (loss) per share was $(0.01) for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $0.20 during the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) was $0.05 for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $0.25 during the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA(4) was $105.9 million for the third quarter of 2009 and $146.9 million for the third quarter of 2008.
Total revenues for the three quarters ended October 1, 2009 were $2,128.3 million compared to total revenues of $2,060.2 million for the three quarters ended September 25, 2008. Net income attributable to controlling interest was $60.0 million in the first three quarters of 2009 compared to $82.8 million in the first three quarters of 2008. Diluted earnings per share was $0.39 for the first three quarters of 2009 compared to $0.53 during the first three quarters of 2008. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) was $0.51 for the first three quarters of 2009 compared to $0.61 during the first three quarters of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA(4) was $403.0 million for the first three quarters of 2009 and $402.4 million for the first three quarters of 2008.
The comparability of results for both the quarter and three quarters ended October 1, 2009 to prior periods was impacted by a shift in Regal’s fiscal calendar. (6) Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Regal’s Board of Directors also today declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per Class A and Class B common share, payable on December 17, 2009, to stockholders of record on December 9, 2009. The Company intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend for the foreseeable future at the discretion of the Board of Directors depending on available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows as well as other relevant factors.
"We are pleased with the strong year-to-date box office results, the success of films released in the premium-priced 3-D and IMAX formats, and the increase in our year-to-date free cash flow,” stated Amy Miles, CEO of Regal Entertainment Group. "We are also encouraged by the early fourth quarter box office results and the outlook for the remainder of the year,” Miles continued.

| Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $ | (0.01 | ) | $ | 0.20 | $ | 0.39 | $ | 0.53 | ||||||||||||||||||
| (1) We have included adjusted diluted earnings per share, which is diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding loss on debt extinguishment, net of related tax effects and net loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets, net of related tax effects, because we believe it provides investors with a useful industry comparative and is a financial measure used by management to assess the performance of our Company. |
| (2) Represents reported weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings (loss) per share for the quarters and three quarters ended October 1, 2009 and September 25, 2008. Since the Company reported a net loss attributable to controlling interest of $1.8 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2009, no common stock equivalents were included as the effect would have been antidilutive. |
| (3) Represents the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding, after giving effect to common stock equivalents that had a dilutive effect on the computation of adjusted earnings per diluted share for the quarter and three quarters ended October 1, 2009. |
| (4) Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, net loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets, share-based compensation expense, joint venture employee compensation, loss on debt extinguishment , noncontrolling interest, net of tax and other, net) was approximately $105.9 million for the quarter ended Oct. 1, 2009. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow provide useful measures of cash flows from operations for our investors because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are industry comparative measures of cash flows generated by our operations and because they are financial measures used by management to assess the liquidity of our Company. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not measurements of liquidity under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation or construed as a substitute for other operations data or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for purposes of analyzing our liquidity. In addition, not all funds depicted by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are available for management's discretionary use. For example, a portion of such funds are subject to contractual restrictions and functional requirements to pay debt service, fund necessary capital expenditures and meet other commitments from time to time as described in more detail in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2009. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
| (5) Effective January 2, 2009, we retrospectively adopted certain provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20, Debt?Debt with Conversion and Other Options ("ASC Subtopic 470-20”). Our 6¼% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3¾% Convertible Senior Notes are within the scope of ASC Subtopic 470-20; therefore, we were required to retrospectively record the debt portions of the 6¼% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3¾% Convertible Senior Notes at their fair values as of the respective dates of issuance and amortize the related debt discount into interest expense over the life of each debt instrument during the periods in which the debt instruments are outstanding. |
| During the quarter ended September 25, 2008, we retrospectively recorded approximately $0.9 million of non-cash interest expense for the 6¼% Convertible Senior Notes. After related tax effects, the resulting decrease in net income attributable to controlling interest from the adoption of ASC Subtopic 470-20 was approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 25, 2008. During the three quarters ended September 25, 2008, we retrospectively recorded approximately $3.1 million of non-cash interest expense for the 6¼% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3¾% Convertible Senior Notes. In addition, for the three quarters ended September 25, 2008, amounts previously recorded for loss on debt extinguishment and provision for income taxes were retrospectively adjusted by $67.5 million and $24.0 million, respectively. The resulting increase in net income attributable to controlling interest from the adoption of ASC Subtopic 470-20 was approximately $40.4 million for the three quarters ended September 25, 2008. In addition, the unaudited consolidated summary balance sheet information as of January 1, 2009 presented herein has been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to the adoption of ASC Subtopic 470-20 as follows: |

(6) The comparability of the quarter ended October 1, 2009 to the quarter ended September 25, 2008 was impacted by a shift in our quarterly fiscal calendar, which resulted in the traditionally robust attendance week leading up to July 4th being included in the Q3 2008 period, but not the Q3 2009 period. In addition, the comparability of the three quarters ended October 1, 2009 to the three quarters ended September 25, 2008 was impacted by a shift in our annual fiscal calendar, which resulted in the traditionally high attendance week between Christmas and New Years Day being included in the Fiscal 2008 Period, but not the Fiscal 2009 Period, and by our acquisition of 400 screens from Consolidated Theatres on April 30, 2008.
