Exhibit 99.1
National CineMedia, Inc. Reports Results for
Fiscal Third Quarter
~ Updates Full Year 2012 Outlook and Provides Fourth Quarter Outlook ~
~ Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend ~
Centennial, CO – November 1, 2012 – National CineMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCMI) (the Company), the managing member and owner of 48.6% of National CineMedia, LLC (NCM LLC), the operator of the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, today announced consolidated results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2012.
Total revenue for the third quarter 2012 increased 5.7% to $143.7 million from $136.0 million for the comparable quarter last year. Advertising revenue for the third quarter 2012 was $138.0 million, an increase of 8.5% from $127.2 million for the comparable quarter last year. Fathom Events revenue decreased 35.2% to $5.7 million for the third quarter 2012 from $8.8 million for the comparable quarter last year due to the wind-down of the Fathom Business Events division. Adjusted OIBDA increased 6.4% to $85.1 million for the third quarter 2012 from $80.0 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $16.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2011.
For the nine months ended September 27, 2012, total revenue grew 3.8% to $332.9 million compared to $320.8 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2011. Advertising revenue for the nine months ended September 27, 2012 was $305.6 million, an increase of 7.3% from $284.9 million for the comparable period last year. Fathom Events revenue decreased 24.0% to $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2012 from $35.9 million for the comparable period last year due primarily to the wind-down of the Fathom Business Events division. For the nine months ended September 27, 2012, Adjusted OIBDA increased 1.0% to $162.9 million from $161.3 million for the comparable period in 2011. Net income for the nine months ended September 27, 2012 was $13.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $24.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share for the comparable nine month period of 2011. The net income decrease was primarily due to the charge related to the loss on swap terminations and write-off of debt issuance costs in the second quarter of 2012. Excluding these items, net income for the nine months ended September 27, 2012 would have been $22.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company’s third quarter cash dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on November 29, 2012, to stockholders of record on November 15, 2012. The Company intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend for the foreseeable future at the discretion of the Board of Directors dependent on available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, future prospects for earnings and cash flows as well as other relevant factors.
“Once again Q3 marked another record quarter for us with revenue of $143.7 million and Adjusted OIBDA of $85.1 million, representing growth of 5.7% and 6.4%, respectively, over a very strong Q3 2011. These results reflect the continued expansion of our network and broadening of our national client base, offset somewhat by lower Q3 local advertising revenue,” said Kurt Hall, NCM’s Chairman and CEO.

Mr. Hall continued, “Looking ahead, the late Q4 scatter market is shaping up to be a bit more challenging than we had originally anticipated as brands are cautiously monitoring inconsistent economic data and several uncertainties that could impact future economic activity. Even with this somewhat softer media marketplace, our national revenue growth for the year is still expected to be strong at 5% to 9%. With our upfront and other strategies to increase our inventory utilization and the expansion of our network in full swing, we are well positioned to grow in 2013 and beyond as we will have a relatively consistent cost structure for the next few years.”
2012 Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company expects total revenue to be in the range of $112.0 million to $122.0 million, or a decrease of 2% to an increase of 6% compared to the total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 of $114.6 million, and Adjusted OIBDA to be in the range of $52.0 million to $62.0 million, or a decrease of 17% to a decrease of 2% compared to the Adjusted OIBDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 of $63.0 million.
For the full year 2012, the Company expects total revenue in the range of $445.0 million to $455.0 million, or an increase of 2% to 5% compared to total revenue for the full year of 2011 of $435.4 million, and Adjusted OIBDA in the range of $215.0 million to $225.0 million, or a decrease of 4%, to approximately flat compared to Adjusted OIBDA for the full year of 2011 of $224.3 million.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Unaudited
OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin
Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA), Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. OIBDA represents operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted OIBDA excludes from OIBDA non-cash share based payment costs. Adjusted OIBDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate operating performance, to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies and non-cash share based compensation programs, or different interest rates or debt levels or income tax rates. A limitation of these measures, however, is that they exclude depreciation and amortization, which represent a proxy for the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting the effect of the Company’s share based payment costs. OIBDA or Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income, net income or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share Excluding the Loss on Swap Terminations and the Write-off of Debt Issuance Costs
Net income excluding the loss on swap terminations and the write-off of debt issuance costs and earnings per share excluding the loss on swap terminations and the write-off of debt issuance costs are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Net income excluding the loss on swap terminations and the write-off of debt issuance costs and earnings per share excluding the loss on swap terminations and the write-off of debt issuance costs are calculated using reported net income and earnings per share and adding back the charge related to the loss on swap terminations and the write-off of debt issuance costs. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to a method used by the Company’s management and helps improve their ability to
