National CineMedia, Inc. Reports Results for
Fiscal Second Quarter 2018
Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.17 per Share
Updates Full Year 2018 Outlook
Centennial, CO - August 6, 2018 - National CineMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCMI) (the Company), the managing member and owner of 48.8% of National CineMedia, LLC (NCM LLC), the operator of the largest in-theater digital media network in North America, announced today consolidated results for the fiscal second quarter and first six months ended June 28, 2018.
Total revenue for the second quarter ended June 28, 2018 increased 17.1% to $113.7 million from $97.1 million for the comparable quarter last year. Operating income increased 42.0% to $40.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $28.3 million for the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted OIBDA increased 23.6% to $52.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $42.3 million for the second quarter of 2017. Included in Adjusted OIBDA and operating income were $0.0 million and $1.7 million of non-cash impairment charges during the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, on investments obtained in prior years in exchange for advertising services. Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $4.2 million, or net income of $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.2 million, or net income of $0.09 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017. As adjusted to exclude CEO transition-related costs and early lease termination expense, net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2017 and 2018 would have remained the same.
Total revenue for the first six months ended June 28, 2018 increased 14.7% to $193.9 million from $169.0 million for the comparable period last year. Operating income increased 53.3% to $51.2 million for the first six months of 2018 from $33.4 million for the first six months of 2017. Adjusted OIBDA increased 26.2% to $75.6 million for the first six months of 2018 from $59.9 million for the first six months of 2017. Included in Adjusted OIBDA and operating income were $0.4 million and $3.1 million of non-cash impairment charges during the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, on investments obtained in prior years in exchange for advertising services. Net income for the first six months of 2018 was $2.3 million, or net income of $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or net income of $0.06 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2017. As adjusted to exclude CEO transition-related costs and early lease termination expense, net income for the first six months of 2018 would have remained the same and net income for the first six months of 2017 would have increased to $0.07 per diluted share. See the tables at the end of this release for the reconciliations to the closest GAAP basis measurement.
The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2018 to stockholders of record on August 16, 2018. The declaration, payment, timing and amount of any future dividends payable will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors who will take into account general economic and advertising market business conditions, the Company’s financial condition, available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, and any other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant. While it is the intention of the Company to continue its practice of distributing a substantial proportion of its free cash flow, the Board of Directors continues to review the factors listed above and others as deemed relevant to determine a sustainable distribution rate which balances the operating and strategic needs of the Company with those of its lenders and stockholders.

Commenting on the Company’s first six months of 2018 operating results and second half of 2018 positioning, NCM CEO Andy England said, “It has been a very productive second quarter, and a great first half of 2018. We achieved strong revenue and Adjusted OIBDA growth and continued to attract new and returning advertisers to cinema and to our new Noovie digital ecosystem, all while successfully launching Noovie ARcade, reaching an agreement with Standard General, refinancing our senior secured credit facility, eliminating the AMC stock overhang, and moving our corporate headquarters to a great new modern facility.”
2018 Outlook
For the full year 2018, the Company updates its outlook of total revenue to be up 1.0% to 5.6% and Adjusted OIBDA to be flat to up 4.8% from the full year 2017. The Company expects total revenue in the range of $430.0 million to $450.0 million for the full year 2018, compared to total revenue for the full year 2017 of $426.1 million and Adjusted OIBDA in the range of $205.0 million to $215.0 million for the full year 2018 compared to Adjusted OIBDA for the full year 2017 of $205.1 million. During 2018, the Company expects to record approximately $21.0 to $23.0 million in integration and other encumbered theater payments from Cinemark and AMC associated with the Rave Theatres and Carmike Theatres acquisitions, which are recorded as a reduction of an intangible asset.

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 GAAP in the United States. OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted OIBDA excludes from OIBDA non-cash share based compensation cost, Chief Executive Officer transition costs, and early lease termination expense. Adjusted OIBDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures 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, non-cash share based compensation programs, CEO turnover, early lease termination expense, interest rates, 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, costs associated with the resignation of the company’s former Chief Executive Officer, or early lease termination expense. 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, or calculations in the Company’s debt agreement.
The following tables reconcile operating income to OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

Adjusted Net Income and Income per Share
Adjusted net income and income per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Adjusted net income and income per share are calculated using reported net income and income per share and exclude CEO transition-related costs and early lease termination expense. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures 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 understand the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted net income should not be regarded as an alternative to net income and should not be regarded as an alternative to income per share 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 net income and income per share are the

most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
