The aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity owned by non-affiliates of Holdings on June 30, 2023, computed by reference to the closing price for Holdings’ common stock on the
New York Stock Exchange on such date was approximately $1.7 billion (104,257,922 shares held by non-affiliates at a closing price per share of $16.50). CUSA is wholly-owned by Holdings and there is no
public trading market for its equity securities, therefore CUSA is unable to calculate the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity owned by non-affiliates.
As of February 9, 2024, 121,589,633 shares of common stock of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. were issued and outstanding.
As of February 9, 2024, 1,500 shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 182,648 shares of Class B common stock, no par value per share, of Cinemark USA, Inc. were outstanding and
held by Cinemark Holdings, Inc.
This combined Form 10-K is separately filed by Holdings and CUSA. Information contained herein relating to any individual registrant is filed by such registrant on its own behalf. Each registrant makes no
representation as to information relating to the other registrant. When this Form 10-K is incorporated by reference into any filings with the SEC made by Holdings or CUSA, as a registrant, the portions of the
Form 10-K that relate to the other registrant are not incorporated by reference therein.
OMISSION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION
CUSA meets the conditions set forth in General Instruction I(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-K and has therefore omitted the information otherwise called for by items 10-13 of Form 10-K as allowed under General
Instruction I(2)(c).

“forward-looking statements” include our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the respective business and industry of Holdings and CUSA. They
include statements relating to:
•future revenue, expenses and profitability;
•currency exchange rate and inflationary impacts;
•the future development and expected growth of our business;
•projected capital expenditures;
•access to capital resources;
•attendance at movies generally or in any of the markets in which we operate;
•the number and diversity of popular movies released, the length of exclusive theatrical release windows and our ability to successfully license and exhibit popular films;
•national and international growth in our industry;
•competition from other exhibitors, alternative forms of entertainment and content delivery via streaming and other formats;
•determinations in lawsuits in which we are a party; and

You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,”
“believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future” and “intends” and similar expressions. These statements are neither historical facts nor guarantees of future performance. Instead, they
are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends,
the economy and other future conditions and are, therefore, subject to risks, inherent uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to
predict. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should
not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk
Factors” section in Item 1A and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to either Holdings or CUSA or persons acting on our behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors contained in this Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K reflect
the views of Holdings and CUSA only as of the date of this Form 10-K. Neither Holdings nor CUSA undertake any obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

PART I
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” or “Cinemark” relate to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated
subsidiaries. All references to CUSA relate to Cinemark USA, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Where it is important to distinguish between the entities, the report either
refers specifically to Holdings or CUSA. All references to Latin America are to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica,
Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Paraguay, Curacao and Ecuador. We closed our one theatre in Curacao in January 2023 and sold our Ecuador subsidiary in September 2023.
Unless otherwise specified, all operating and other statistical data is as of or for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 1. Business
We are a leader and one of the most geographically diverse operators in the motion picture exhibition industry. As of December 31, 2023, we operated 501 theatres and
5,719 screens in the United States, or “U.S.”, and Latin America. Our U.S. circuit operated 309 theatres and 4,324 screens and our Latin America circuit operated 192 theatres
and 1,395 screens across 13 countries. Our significant and diverse presence in the U.S. and Latin America has made us an important distribution channel for movie studios and
other content providers. We believe our portfolio of high-quality theatres with multiple platforms provides a preferred destination for moviegoers and has contributed to our
consistent industry-leading results.
As of December 31, 2023, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments: U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 22 to the consolidated
financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented effect on the theatrical exhibition industry. We temporarily closed our theatres in the U.S. and Latin
America during March of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak. We reopened theatres as soon as local restrictions and the status of the COVID-19 pandemic would
allow. All of our domestic and international theatres were reopened by the end of 2021. After reopening our theatres, we faced ongoing challenges with the significant reduction
in the volume of new film releases. The industry has made significant progress in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; however its ongoing recovery continues to be
contingent upon several key factors, including the volume of new film content available, which has also been impacted by the recent writers’ and actors’ guild strikes, the box
office performance of new film content released, the duration of the exclusive theatrical release window and evolving consumer behavior with competition from other forms of
in-and-out of home entertainment.
Motion Picture Exhibition Industry Overview
Domestic
Preliminary estimates indicate that North American box office revenues were approximately $9.1 billion for 2023, up more than 21% compared with 2022 due primarily
to an increase in the volume of new films released.
The following table represents the results of surveys by Motion Picture Association, or MPA, published in March 2022, and The Cinema Foundation, published in
March 2023, outlining the historical trends in North American box office performance for the five-year period from 2018 through 2022. Box office performance has historically
been primarily dependent on the quality, quantity and timing of film product.

Films released during the year ended December 31, 2023 included Barbie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 3, Oppenheimer, The Little Mermaid, Ant-Man
2
and the Wasp: Quantumania, John Wick: Chapter 4, Sound of Freedom, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour concert film, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,
Five Nights at Freddy’s, Wonka, and Trolls Band Together, among other films.
Films scheduled for release in 2024 include Madame Web, Dune: Part Two, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Kung Fu Panda 4, The Fall Guy, Furiosa, Kingdom of the
Planet of the Apes, Inside Out 2, A Quiet Place: Day One, Despicable Me 4, Deadpool 3, Joker: Folie à Deux, Venom 3, Wicked - Part I, Mufusa: The Lion King, and Sonic the
Hedgehog 3, among other films.
International
Preliminary estimates for Latin American box office revenues were approximately $2.4 billion for 2023, up more than 33% compared with 2022.
Box office performance in Latin America is dependent upon the quantity, quality and timing of Hollywood film product, and to a lesser extent, local film product. The
performance in Latin American markets is also impacted by political and social conditions, growing populations, and continued retail development.
Drivers of Continued Industry Success
We believe the long-term fundamentals of our industry remain intact:
Consumer Enthusiasm for Theatrical Movie-Going Remains Strong. Sustained consumer enthusiasm to view compelling films in a shared, larger-than-life, cinematic
environment continues to be demonstrated across all genres of films, segments of audiences, and periods of the year. Positive box office growth, aligned with film volume
recovery and record-setting results of an expansive range of titles across a wide array of film genres further underscore that experiencing captivating film content in a theatrical
setting remains an important part of culture and consumer entertainment agendas.
A Theatrical Release Enhances a Film’s Promotional Impact and Overall Asset Value. Theatrical exhibition has long been the primary distribution channel for
launching new major motion picture releases. A theatrical release provides an enhanced promotional platform for filmed entertainment content by heightening its exposure,
increasing its perceived quality, strengthening recall, and driving greater viewing interest. Furthermore, experiencing content in a shared theatrical environment elevates
emotions and engagement with stories and characters, which builds larger brands, franchises, and cultural moments. It also provides an incremental revenue stream, while
strengthening performance in downstream distribution channels, including streaming, which enhances overall asset value. Based on these benefits, as well as commentary
provided by our film distribution partners, we anticipate the volume of films released each year will continue to recover to historical levels.
Resilient Industry Across Technology Innovations and Economic Cycles. Theatrical movie-going remains one of the most convenient and affordable forms of out-of-
home entertainment. As such, it has proven resilient to competition for consumers’ leisure spending, as well as inflationary and recessionary periods. For example, North
American industry box office grew in six of the last eight recessions. Additionally, theatrical movie-going has demonstrated stable, long-term growth trends across various
technological innovations, including VHS, internet, DVD and streaming.
Our Strategy
Our strategic objectives prioritize experiential consumer-based, revenue-generating, and productivity-driving initiatives, including:
Deliver an Extraordinary Guest Experience. We aim to differentiate our theatres through consistent investment in high-demand consumer amenities that provide a
larger-than-life, cinematic entertainment experience with top-notch guest service. Examples of amenities include state-of-the-art sight and sound technology, premium large
format auditoriums, recliners, and motion seats, as well as expansive food and beverage offerings. We believe our ongoing focus on providing an extraordinary guest
experience is a primary factor of our consistent industry-leading results.
Maximize Attendance and Box Office While Expanding Revenue Opportunities. We actively focus on maximizing attendance and box office results through pricing
strategies, sophisticated showtime planning, and pursuit of alternative content that appeals to a broad consumer base. We also continue to invest in strengthening and leveraging
our omni-channel marketing platforms and loyalty programs to expand our audience base, increase moviegoing
3
frequency and strengthen loyalty to our brand. Additionally, we seek to drive ancillary revenue opportunities through expanding the food, beverage and merchandise products
we offer, simplifying speed of service through space management improvements and online mobile ordering, and extending the availability of our offerings beyond our theatres
via third-party delivery platforms. Furthermore, we look to monetize our facilities with opportunities including game rooms and private events.
Maintain a Disciplined Focus on Productivity and Profitability. We remain disciplined in our pursuit of continuous improvement, seeking opportunities to simplify
processes, streamline operations, remove inefficiencies, and drive productivity. Areas of emphasis include further enhancing our workforce management tools and processes,
strengthening inventory management, optimizing showtime planning, leveraging advanced sourcing strategies, and expanding automation opportunities. We continue to
enhance data management and analytics to strengthen our decisions and maximize our overall potential. Furthermore, as part of our ongoing focus on profitability, we
continuously optimize our footprint, assessing our global circuit to ascertain the most advantageous strategies for growth, recalibration, and strengthening of our theaters to
deliver sustained long-term returns.
Competitive Strengths
We believe the following strengths have allowed us to compete effectively in the past and will continue to be our guiding principles:
Disciplined Operating Philosophy. Our operating philosophy focuses on creating an extraordinary guest experience, maintaining favorable theatre-level economics,
controlling operating costs and effectively reacting to changes in economic and market conditions.
Balanced Approach to Investment and Capital Allocation. Our balanced and disciplined investment approach centers on thoughtfully reinvesting in our existing
theatres, building new theatres and acquiring quality theatres that will complement our circuit. We have long believed in maintaining a strong balance sheet and ensuring our
capital investments earn a solid return. This philosophy has proven to be successful for us over varying economic cycles and industry challenges. We remain disciplined with
our cash management and capital resource allocation strategies, while continuing to invest in the long-term health of our circuit.
Leading Position in Our U.S. and Latin American Markets. We have a leading market share in most of the U.S. markets we serve, which includes a presence in 42
states. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we ranked either first or second, based on box office revenues, in 21 of our top 25 U.S. markets, including Dallas, the San
Francisco Bay Area, Houston, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Cleveland, Austin and Las Vegas. We were one of the first circuits to begin reopening theatres in the U.S. during
2021, gaining market share of the overall North American box office as a result. We maintained a meaningful portion of these market share gains through 2023.
We have a significant presence in major cities in Latin America, with theatres in 15 of the 20 largest metropolitan areas in Latin America as of December 31, 2023. We
are the largest exhibitor in Brazil and Argentina and have significant market presence in Colombia, Peru and Chile. Our geographic diversity makes us an important global
distribution channel for the movie studios. Similar to the U.S., we gained overall market share in Latin America upon reopening all of our theatres during 2021. We have
retained a meaningful portion of that market share through 2023.
State-of-the-Art Theatre Circuit. We build new theatres and consistently invest in our existing theatres to maintain a state-of-the-art movie-going experience, which we
believe makes our theatres preferred destinations for moviegoers in our markets. Making quality investments in our circuit will continue to be one of our primary objectives.
We offer our guests a premium large format experience through our 293 XD auditoriums, which represents the largest exhibitor-branded premium large format
footprint in the world, 15 IMAX auditoriums and six ScreenX auditoriums across our worldwide circuit. Our XD auditoriums offer a premium experience utilizing the latest in
digital projection and enhanced custom sound, including Barco Auro-Max 11.1 sound systems in select locations. The XD experience includes wall-to-wall screens, wrap-
around sound, plush seating, reclining seats in a majority of our XD auditoriums and a maximum comfort entertainment environment for an immersive experience. The benefits
of our XD auditoriums include program flexibility, as we can show the content of our choice with no additional revenue share component outside of routine film rental.
We started a multi-year project in 2022 to strategically convert our auditoriums to more energy efficient Barco RGB laser projectors, which provide greater light output
than the current technology, further enhancing the
4
movie-going experience. As of December 31, 2023, we have transitioned approximately 14% of our auditoriums to the new laser projectors across our worldwide circuit.
We have incorporated Luxury Lounger heated recliner seats into all of our recent domestic new builds and have repositioned many of our existing domestic theatres to
offer this premium seating feature. We currently feature these heated recliner luxury loungers in 68% of our total domestic circuit.
We also have auditoriums that offer seats with immersive cinematic motion, which we refer to as motion seats, in 335 auditoriums throughout our circuit. These motion
seats are programmed in harmony with the audio and video content of the film and further immerse guests into the on-screen action.
We offer enhanced food and beverages such as gourmet pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches, and a selection of beers, wine and cocktails, all of which can be enjoyed in the
comfort of the auditoriums, at a majority of our theatres. We also offer full bars or dine-in areas in many of our locations and we are continuing to expand these amenities to
additional locations. In the U.S., we offer advanced mobile concession ordering at virtually all of our U.S. theatres allowing guests to pre-order select concession products and
pick them up at the concession stand upon arrival or have them delivered to their seat. We also offer mobile concession ordering in all of our Latin American theatres and
delivery to seats in a select number of our premier Latin American theatres.
Experienced Management. Our global management team has extensive industry experience and proven track records. Many of our key leaders have over 20 years of
industry experience. Additionally, our country general managers are local citizens familiar with political, social, cultural and economic factors impacting their country, which
enables them to more effectively manage the local business. Our global management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles over the
years.
Theatre Operations
As of December 31, 2023, we operated 501 theatres and 5,719 screens in 42 U.S. states and 13 Latin American countries. We opened our first theatre in the U.S. in
1984. Our domestic circuit has expanded through acquisitions and organic growth, and we currently have theatres in 104 designated market areas. We first entered Latin
America when we opened a theatre in Santiago, Chile in 1993. Since then, through a focused international growth strategy, we have developed into one of the most
geographically diverse theatre circuits in the region. We have balanced our risk through a diversified international portfolio, which included theatres in 15 of the 20 largest
metropolitan areas in Latin America as of December 31, 2023. We are a market leader in Brazil and Argentina, where we are the largest exhibitor. We also have significant
market presence in Colombia, Peru and Chile.

Content
We offer a wide variety of content at our theatres. We monitor upcoming film releases and other content and work diligently with film distributors to license content
that we believe will be most successful in our theatres. We play mainstream films from many different genres, such as animated films, family films, dramas, comedies, horror
and action films. We offer content in both 2-D and 3-D formats in all of our theatres, and in many locations, we offer
5
either our own premium large format, XD or IMAX. We also offer a format that features motion seats and added sensory features.
We offer a variety of alternative entertainment content for our guests. Examples include concert, sporting and gaming events, as well as art, independent, faith-based,
and multicultural foreign language films. In certain Latin American markets where we operate, we also offer local film product to our guests. Additionally, we have the
functionality and technological infrastructure to live-stream events via satellite network across our portfolio of theatres in the U.S. and Latin America.
In addition, our joint venture, AC JV, LLC, with Regal Entertainment Group and AMC Entertainment, Inc. provides marketing and distribution of live and pre-recorded
entertainment programming to augment theatres’ feature film schedules. AC JV, LLC, referred to as Fathom Events, is the largest distributor of documentaries and inspirational
content as well as classic films and performing arts, such as the Metropolitan Opera.
Film Licensing
In the U.S., our corporate film department negotiates with film distributors to license films for each of our domestic theatres. Local film personnel in our international
offices negotiate with local offices of major film distributors, local film distributors and independent content providers to license films for our international theatres. Film
distributors determine film release dates and plan and fund the related film marketing campaigns, while we are responsible for booking the films at each of our theatres at the
optimal showtimes for our guests.
In both our domestic and international locations, film rental fees are based on a film’s box office receipts. The majority of film rental rates are negotiated on a sliding
scale formula, under which the rate is based on a standard rate matrix that is established with each content provider prior to a film’s theatrical run. We may also negotiate some
film rental rates on a firm terms formula, a percentage of box office receipts negotiated prior to a film’s theatrical run, or a rate that is negotiated after a film’s theatrical run.
Food and Beverage
Concession sales are our second largest revenue source. We have expanded concession sales by enhancing our offerings and adapting to our customers’ changing
preferences, as discussed below.
Product Mix. Core concession products offered at all of our theatres include various sizes and types of popcorn, soft drinks, coffees, non-carbonated drinks, candy and
quickly-prepared or pre-prepared food, such as hot dogs, pizza, pretzel bites, nachos and ice cream. Our food and beverage offerings may vary in particular markets based on
consumer preferences. We offer adult beverage options for our guests including beer, wine and cocktails, freshly-made signature Pizza Hut pizzas, burgers and sandwiches, as
well as some healthier snack options and diverse ethnic foods based on market demographics.
We have dedicated category managers that monitor product sales, upcoming content and events, and make adjustments to product mix on a theatre-by-theatre or market-
by-market basis. This approach also allows us to efficiently activate and manage both national or regional product launches and promotional initiatives to further grow food and
beverage sales.
New products and promotions are introduced on a regular basis to increase concession purchase incidence from existing consumers as well as to attract new consumers.
In certain international countries and in all of our domestic theatres, we offer a free loyalty program that routinely offers food and beverage promotions and rewards. Our paid
subscription programs allow our guests to receive exclusive concessions discounts.
Innovation. We offer unique movie-themed merchandise to customers both in our theatres and online to enhance their experience and drive incremental revenue.
Additionally, we have partnered with key strategic suppliers to create an online store that offers unique merchandise to guests across the country from the comfort of their
homes. We are also the first major theatre exhibition company to partner with Door Dash, Grub Hub, and Uber Eats, to allow consumers to have our concession offerings
delivered to their homes.
Theatre Design. Our theatres are designed to optimize the guest purchase experience at the concession stands to facilitate serving guests in an expedited manner. We
strategically design large concession stands to heighten visibility, reduce the length of concession lines, and improve traffic flow around the concession stands. We incorporate
queue lines and self-serve candy cases and bottled drink coolers at our concession stands to help provide convenience for our guests, drive impulse purchases and increase
product visibility for these two core categories. We also have
6
self-service cafeteria-style concession areas in many of our domestic theatres, which allow customers to select their own food and refreshments and proceed to the cash register
when they are ready. This design allows for more efficient service, and superior visibility of concession items. We also have lobby bars and VIP lounges in many domestic and
international theatres.
Our proprietary mobile concessions ordering capability allows moviegoers to purchase their cinema snacks in advance and have them waiting to be picked up upon
arrival or delivered directly to their seat. This functionality streamlines the guest experience, adding convenience and enhanced guest service for our customers. As of
December 31, 2023, mobile concession ordering is available at virtually all of our U.S. theatres. Similarly, guests in our Latin American locations can pre-pay for select
concession products online or at kiosks within the theatre and pick them up at the concession stand.
Staff Training. Employees are continually trained on proper sales techniques, food preparation and handling, and maintaining the quality of our concession product
offerings. Many employees are certified in food safety protocols and in serving alcoholic beverages.
Cost Control. We negotiate prices, volume-based rebates and promotional-based rebates for concession products directly with our suppliers. Concession products are
generally managed through a distribution network, with theatres placing and receiving orders directly with a distributor. We monitor inventory levels at every theatre to ensure
proper stock levels are maintained to appropriately serve our guests.
Supply chain interruptions and inflationary pressures may impact costs and limit product availability. Our food and beverage costs have been especially susceptible to
inflationary pressures in more recent periods, particularly for core commodities, which recently experienced elevated inflationary pressures. In an effort to mitigate these
pressures, we focus on identifying alternative products sourced from a variety of suppliers as well as implementing strategic pricing actions to help offset the impact of these
pressures.
Screen Advertising
Our U.S. theatres are part of the in-theatre digital network operated by National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM. NCM provides advertising to our theatres through its
branded “Noovie” pre-show entertainment program and also handles certain lobby promotions and displays for our theatres. We believe that the reach, scope and digital
delivery capability of NCM’s network provides an effective platform for national, regional and local advertisers to reach our audiences. We receive a monthly theatre access fee
for participation in the NCM network, which includes screen rental revenue on a per patron basis and on a revenue share basis depending on the placement of the advertisement.
Throughout our international markets, we have developed our Flix Media brand that handles screen advertising functions in all of our Latin American countries. Our
Flix Media marketing personnel work with local agencies and advertisers to coordinate screen advertising in our theatres as well as other theatres in our markets. In addition to
screen advertising in our theatres, we continue to expand Flix Media’s services to include, among other things, alternative content, digital media and other synergistic
advertising opportunities.
Marketing and Promotions
Digital Marketing. Our investment in digital marketing and customer experience over the past several years has enabled us to expand our reach to our guests,
communicate with them on a consistent basis, and streamline their digital customer journey. We continue to adapt our platforms to engage movie-goers more effectively and
make it as compelling and simple as possible for them to purchase their next movie ticket and concessions from us. Through both organic and paid marketing efforts, we keep
our millions of guests informed through email, social media, website and mobile app updates, and advertising to promote upcoming content and keep Cinemark elevated in the
moviegoer consideration set.
Transforming the digital customer journey has enabled us to more effectively reach movie-goers through targeted and refined search engine optimization, and gives the
customer a better experience once they are directed to our website or app. We regularly conduct comprehensive analysis of the customer journey on our channels, making
updates that reduce clicks and decrease the friction from search to ticket purchase. Ongoing enhancements result in higher traffic volume to our digital channels and increased
ticket and concession purchases.
7
In an effort to more deeply engage with our guests, the visual identity and physical flow of our theatres are regularly assessed. This includes keeping all signage,
merchandise, food and beverage vessels and employee attire updated and reflective of the modern experience.
Campaigns and Promotions. We market our theatres and special events, including new theatre grand openings, remodel re-openings and VIP events, using email/in-app
push messaging, social media communications, digital advertising, and various forms of traditional media advertising. We exhibit previews of coming attractions and current
films as part of our on-screen pre-feature program. We offer guests access to movie times, the ability to buy their tickets and reserve their seats in advance, purchase concessions
in advance and purchase gift cards at our website www.cinemark.com and via our mobile applications. Guests can subscribe to our emails and push notifications to receive
information about current and upcoming films and events at their preferred Cinemark theatre(s), including details about upcoming XD movies, advanced ticket sales, screenings,
special events, concerts, live broadcasts, contests, promotions, and our latest concessions and merchandise offerings. We partner with film distributors on a regular basis to
promote upcoming films through local, regional and national programs, many of which are exclusive to our theatres.
Social Media. In the evolution of our external communication strategy, we are meeting movie-goers where they are and ensuring we are present as they scroll
throughout the day. We interact with moviegoers every day on social media platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to provide
advanced ticketing, promotions, and event information and to monitor and respond to guests’ questions and feedback.
Membership and Loyalty. Our domestic subscription membership program, Movie Club, offers guests a standard monthly ticket credit, member-pricing for a companion
ticket and concession and other transaction discounts for their choice of a monthly or annual fixed price. Movie Club is a unique option to reward our loyal guests and allows us
to stay informed of frequent moviegoers’ preferences. Movie Club includes a premium tier, Movie Club Platinum, allowing members with a high visit frequency and/or high
volume of ticket purchases during the year to earn additional movie ticket credits, receive an increased concessions discount and the ability to purchase additional tickets at a
discounted price.
We offer a free domestic loyalty program, Movie Fan, to our guests in the U.S. Movie Fan allows our moviegoers to earn one point for every dollar they spend. Points
can then be redeemed for tickets, concession items and discounts, as well as unique and limited-edition merchandise that relate to films currently playing in our theatres. Our
loyalty programs are closely monitored, and new strategies are consistently tested to incentivize consumers to prioritize visiting our theatres.
We also have membership and loyalty programs in most of our international markets that either allow customers to pay a nominal fee for an annual membership card
that provides them with certain admissions and concession discounts or that allows guests to earn loyalty points for each purchase. Similar to the Movie Fan program, our
points-based international programs offer discounts on movie tickets and concessions.
Our global loyalty programs put us in direct contact with our moviegoers and provide opportunities for us to partner with the studios and our suppliers through targeted
promotions.
Competition
We are one of the leaders in the motion picture exhibition industry. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors with respect to attracting
guests, licensing films and developing new theatre sites. Our primary U.S. competitors include Regal and AMC and our primary international competitors, which vary by
country, include Cinépolis, Cine Colombia, CinePlanet, Kinoplex (GSR), UCI, Royal Films and Araujo.
We are generally able to book films at our theatres without regard to the film bookings of other exhibitors. Our success in attracting guests can depend on customer
service quality, location, theatre capacity, quality of projection and sound equipment, film showtime availability and ticket prices.
We compete for new theatre sites with other movie theatre exhibitors as well as other entertainment venues. Securing a potential site depends upon factors such as
commercial terms, available investment resources, theatre design and capacity, revenue potential and financial stability of developers as well as exhibitors.
We face competition from other forms of out-of-home entertainment competing for the public’s leisure time and disposable income, including family entertainment
centers, concerts, theme parks and sporting events. We also
8
face competition for guests from a number of alternative film distribution channels, such as streaming services, digital downloads, video on-demand and network television.
Seasonality
Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. The most successful motion pictures
have historically been released during summer months in the U.S., extending from May to July, and during the holiday season, extending from November through year-end. In
our Latin American markets, while Hollywood content has similar release dates as in the U.S., the local holidays and seasons vary. The unexpected emergence of a hit film
during other periods or the failure of an expected success at a key time could alter this seasonality trend. The timing, quantity and quality of film releases can have a significant
effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.
Corporate Operations
Our global headquarters, referred to as the Cinemark Service Center, or CSC, is located in Plano, Texas. Personnel at the CSC provide oversight and support for our
domestic and international theatres and includes our executive team and department heads in charge of film licensing, food and beverage, theatre operations, theatre
construction and maintenance, real estate, human resources, marketing, legal, finance, accounting, tax and information technology. Our U.S. operations are comprised of
regions headed by a regional vice president. We have eight regional offices in Latin America responsible for the local management of theatres in 13 countries as of December
31, 2023 (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are managed out of one Central American regional office). Each regional office is headed by a
general manager or a member of our international management team with additional personnel responsible for film licensing, marketing, human resources, information
technology, operations and finance. We have divisional or regional chief financial officers in several of the international countries in which we operate.
Human Capital
Our business is seasonal and therefore, our headcount can vary throughout the year depending on the timing and success of movie releases. We do not have unionized
employees within our domestic employee base, however many of our international locations are subject to union contracts.
We currently have approximately 17,500 employees in the U.S., approximately 21% of whom are full-time employees and 79% of whom are part-time employees. We
have approximately 9,300 employees in our international markets, approximately 57% of whom are full-time employees and approximately 43% of whom are part-time
employees.
In our Mission, Vision and Values Statement, our employees form the core of our Cinemark Values. We strive to (i) act with honesty and integrity, respect and care for
each other, our guests, communities and partners, (ii) provide a safe environment for our global employees and guests, (iii) be the best in what we do and (iv) empower our
people to make decisions and take responsibility. Guided by our Cinemark Values, we are committed to creating a company where everyone is included and respected, and
where we support each other in reaching our full potential. We take pride in the fact that many of our employees, ranging from field employees to executive management, have
significant tenure with the Company.
To attract and retain the most qualified talent, we offer competitive benefits, including market-competitive compensation, healthcare, paid time off, parental leave, free
movie passes and in the U.S., a 401(k) retirement savings and investment plan with generous Company match. Additionally, many of our CSC employees are eligible to work a
hybrid schedule. We support the continuous development of professional, technical and leadership skills of our employees by offering tuition assistance, skills development
courses and leadership development training in partnership with reputable institutions.
To foster a corporate culture of transparency and collaboration, our senior management regularly conducts “town-hall” style meetings with employees to share, among
other matters, the Company’s performance, business conditions and market challenges, strategies and initiatives, and to respond to employee concerns through question-and-
answer sessions. Employees in the U.S. are also encouraged to provide feedback about their experience through periodic employee engagement surveys. These voluntary
surveys provide overall and department-specific reports and
9
enable us to improve employee experience and culture. We aspire to provide a safe, open and accountable work environment for our employees. We also provide a hotline for
all employees to report workplace concerns and violations with the option to report on an anonymous basis. We address such concerns and take appropriate actions that uphold
our Cinemark Values.
In recognition and gratitude for our moviegoing communities, we strongly encourage team members to give back to the community and host periodic service days for
team members. Through Cinemark Cares, we support local and national charitable organizations through monetary and product donations, or donations of employees’ time or
expertise. We are a proud long-term partner of several charities and host an annual golf tournament to raise funds for these and other selected charities.
Regulations
The distribution of motion pictures is largely regulated by antitrust laws and was the subject of numerous antitrust cases in the past. The manner in which we can license
films from certain major film distributors has been influenced by consent decrees and other court orders resulting from these cases. Consent decrees that bound certain major
film distributors expired during 2022. These consent decrees required distributors to offer and license films to exhibitors, including Cinemark, on a theatre-by-theatre and film-
by-film basis. Consequently, exhibitors have not entered into long-term arrangements with major distributors but must negotiate for licenses on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-
film basis. While the consent decrees may no longer be in effect, we are still subject to the antitrust laws, and we do not anticipate a material shift in the way films are licensed.
We are subject to various general regulations applicable to our operations including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, and regulations
promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and certain state laws that require nutrition labels for certain menu items. Our domestic and international theatre
operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as data privacy, wages, working conditions, citizenship, health and sanitation requirements
and various business licensing and permitting.
Financial Information About Geographic Areas
We currently have operations in the U.S., Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, and
Paraguay, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements for segment information and financial information
by geographic area.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in Holdings’ common stock or Holdings’ or CUSA’s debt securities involves risks and uncertainties, and our actual results and future trends may differ
materially from our past or projected future performance. We urge investors to consider carefully the risk factors described below in addition to the other information contained
in this report, in evaluating our Company and our business. It is not possible to identify all risk factors, and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that
we currently believe to be immaterial that may also materially impact our business operations.
Risks Related to Our Business, Economic, Market and Operating Conditions
A variety of uncontrollable events may disrupt our businesses, reduce guest attendance, or increase the cost or reduce the profitability of providing our products and
services.
Our results of operations can be significantly and adversely affected in the U.S., Latin America or in specific regions as a result of a variety of factors beyond our control,
including: health concerns (including as it was by COVID-19 and could be by future health emergencies, endemics, epidemics and pandemics); adverse weather conditions
arising from short-term weather patterns or long-term climate change, including catastrophic events or natural disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, floods, droughts, wildfires
and earthquakes; international, political or military developments, including trade and other international disputes and social unrest; macroeconomic conditions, including a
decline in economic activity, inflation, deflation and foreign exchange rate fluctuations; and terrorist attacks. These events and others, such as fluctuations in energy costs and
computer virus attacks, intrusions, ransom ware or other widespread computing or telecommunications failures, may also damage our ability to provide our services. We may
10
have insurance coverage with respect to some, but not all, of these events. Moreover, the costs of protecting against such incidents reduces the profitability of our operations.
For example, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented impact on the theatrical exhibition industry. While the industry has made significant progress
in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, our industry and our business continues to be impacted by disruptions in the film production cycle. Most recently the Hollywood
writers’ and actors’ guild strikes caused film production to be temporarily halted or delayed and new film releases were postponed, resulting in a reduction in the volume of new
films available for theatrical exhibition. As a result, we are not currently generating attendance and revenue from admissions at levels comparable to what we had generated
historically.
We obtain insurance against the risk of losses relating to some of these events, generally including certain physical damage to our property and resulting business
interruption, certain injuries occurring on our property and some liabilities for alleged breach of legal responsibilities. When insurance is obtained it is subject to deductibles,
exclusions, terms, conditions and limits of liability. The types and levels of coverage we obtain vary from time to time depending on our view of the likelihood of specific types
and levels of loss compared to the cost of obtaining coverage for such types and levels of loss. We may experience material losses not covered by our insurance.
Our business depends on film production and performance.
Our business depends on both the availability of films for exhibition in our theatres and the success of those films in our markets. Reduced volume of film releases, poor
performance of films, the disruption in the production of films due to events such as a strike by directors, writers, actors or other industry related unions or guilds, a reduction in
financing options for the film distributors, a reduction in the production and marketing efforts of the film distributors to make and promote their films, or the consolidation of
major film distributors could have an adverse effect on our business by resulting in fewer patrons and reduced revenue. For example, the May 2, 2023 strike by the Writers
Guild of America, which lasted for almost five months, and the July 14, 2023 strike by members of SAG-AFTRA, the union representing television and movie actors, which
lasted almost four months, together resulted in a decrease in film content released in 2023 and will cause a decrease in 2024 film content due to production delays that have
forced studios to push films previously slated to be released in 2023 and 2024 to 2025 and 2026. Also, while the quantity of new film releases available for theatrical exhibition
continued to improve in 2023 and caused the industry to further recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume of film content has not reverted to historical
levels. The volume of new films has not, and may not, fully recover to pre-pandemic levels which would materially impact our business. In addition, certain studios have
reduced the window for video and digital releases or released films directly to alternative distribution channels such as streaming services simultaneous with a theatrical release.
Studios may determine that certain types of film content will not be released for theatrical exhibition in the future and will go straight to streaming platforms, further impacting
the quantity of films available.
Our results of operations fluctuate on a seasonal basis.
Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres. The major film distributors
generally release the films they anticipate will be most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenue during those
periods. In our Latin American markets, while Hollywood content has similar release dates as in the U.S., the local holidays and seasons vary. The unexpected emergence of a
successful film during other periods or the failure of an expected success at a key time could alter this seasonality trend. Due to the dependency on the success of films released
from one period to the next, results of operations for one period may not be indicative of the results for future periods.
11
A deterioration in relationships with film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films.
We rely on the film distributors to supply the films shown in our theatres. The film distribution business is highly concentrated, with six major film distributors
accounting for approximately 85% of U.S. box office revenues and 45 of the top 50 grossing films during 2023. Film distributors license films to exhibitors on a theatre-by-
theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, we cannot guarantee a supply of films by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors. A deterioration in our
relationship with any of the major film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films and to negotiate favorable licensing terms for such
films, both of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
We face intense competition for patrons and films which may adversely affect our business.
The motion picture exhibition industry is highly competitive. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors in many of our markets. We
compete for both patrons and licensing of films. In markets where we do not face nearby competitive theatres, there is a risk of new theatres being built. The degree of
competition for patrons is dependent upon such factors as location, theatre capacity, presentation quality, film showtime and availability, customer service quality, products and
amenities offered, and ticket prices. The principal competitive factors with respect to film licensing include the theatre’s location and its demographics, the condition, capacity
and grossing potential of each theatre, and licensing terms. We also face competition from new concept theatres such as dine-in theatres, tavern style theatres and family
entertainment centers that open in close proximity to our conventional theatres. If we are unable to attract patrons or license successful films, our business may be adversely
affected.
An increase in competing forms of entertainment or the use of alternative film distribution channels may reduce movie theatre attendance and limit revenue growth.
We compete with other forms of out-of-home entertainment, such as family entertainment centers, concerts, theme parks, gaming and sporting events, for our patrons’
leisure time and disposable income. We also face competition for patrons from a number of alternative film distribution channels, such as streaming, digital downloads, video
on-demand and network television. We have seen an expansion in some of these distribution channels in recent years. A significant increase in popularity of these alternative
film distribution channels, competing forms of entertainment or improvements in technologies available at home could have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
Our results of operations may be impacted by the reduction, or elimination of, video and digital release windows.
The average video and digital release window, which represents the time that elapses from the date of a film’s theatrical release to the date a film is available for DVD,
was approximately 90 days and digital purchase for ownership (also known as electronic sell-through) was approximately 74 days for several years prior to the COVID-19
pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, certain studios adopted strategies that reduced, or in some cases eliminated, the release windows. While the dynamic release
window has coalesced to around 45 days for major films, select studios may release certain movie titles to their own streaming platforms either simultaneously with theatrical
releases or bypass theatrical releases altogether. While this trend has largely diminished in 2022 and 2023, studios may reduce or eliminate the windows for certain films. If our
guests choose to wait for an in-home release rather than attend a theatre to view the film, our business and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be
adversely impacted.
Our foreign operations are subject to adverse regulations, economic instability and currency exchange risk.
We had 192 theatres with 1,395 screens in 13 countries in Latin America as of December 31, 2023. Brazil represented approximately 7.6% of our consolidated 2023
revenue. Governmental regulation of the motion picture industry in foreign markets differs from that in the U.S. Changes in regulations affecting prices and quota systems
requiring the exhibition of locally-produced films may adversely affect our international operations. Our international operations are subject to certain political, economic and
other uncertainties not encountered by our domestic operations, including risks of severe economic downturns and high inflation. We also face risks of currency fluctuations,
hard currency shortages and controls of foreign currency exchange and cash payments to the U.S., all of which could have an adverse effect on the results of our operations and
liquidity.
Tight labor market and loss of key personnel may negatively impact our operations and operating results.
Labor shortages may affect our ability to hire and retain employees. The success of our business depends on our ability to recruit and retain our theatre staff. Without
proper staffing, wait times to buy tickets and concessions
12
may be extended and operating hours may be reduced. These conditions could result in a poor guest experience, which could adversely affect future attendance. We could face
similar challenges with respect to retaining corporate employees. Losing the services of one or more senior executives, or other key personnel, could adversely affect our ability
to execute our business strategies and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, especially if we were unable to timely employ
a qualified replacement. Labor shortages could also result in rising wages, affecting our profits.
We are subject to impairment losses due to potential declines in the fair value of our assets.
We have a significant amount of long-lived assets. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment at the theatre level. Therefore, if a theatre is directly and individually
impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or condition of the areas surrounding the theatre, we may
record impairment charges to reflect the decline in estimated fair value of that theatre.
We also have a significant amount of goodwill and tradename intangible assets. Declines in our stock price or market capitalization, or declines in our attendance due
to increased competition, macroeconomic conditions or other factors could result in impairments of goodwill and our intangible assets.
We are subject to uncertainties relating to future expansion plans, including our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates or new theatre site locations, and to obtain
financing for such activities on favorable terms or at all.
We have expanded our operations through targeted worldwide theatre development and acquisitions. We continue to pursue a strategy of expansion that involves the
development of new theatres and may involve acquisitions of existing theatres and theatre circuits both in the U.S. and internationally. There is significant competition for new
site locations and for existing theatre and theatre circuit acquisition opportunities. As a result of such competition, we may not be able to acquire attractive new site locations,
existing theatres or theatre circuits on terms we consider acceptable. The pace of our growth may also be impacted by delays in site development caused by other parties.
Acquisitions and expansion opportunities may divert a significant amount of management’s time away from the operation of our business. Growth by acquisition also involves
risks relating to difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. Our potential
expansion strategy may not result in improvements to our business, financial condition, profitability or cash flows. Further, our expansion programs may require financing
above our existing borrowing capacity and operating cash flows. We may not be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.
Risks Related to Financing and Liquidity
We have substantial long-term lease and debt obligations, which may restrict our ability to fund current and future operations and that restrict our ability to enter into
certain transactions.
We have significant long-term debt service obligations and long-term lease obligations. As of December 31, 2023, Holdings had $2,432.1 million in long-term debt
obligations, which included $1,972.1 million of CUSA debt and excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount. As of December 31, 2023, Holdings and
CUSA had $87.8 million in finance lease obligations and $853.3 million in long-term operating lease obligations. The substantial lease and debt obligations could:
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows to payments on our lease and debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows from
operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other corporate requirements and to pay dividends on Holdings’ common stock;
•impede our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other purposes;
•subject us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our variable rate debt;
•limit our ability to invest in innovations in technology and implement new platforms or concepts in our theatres; and
13
•make us more vulnerable to adverse economic, market and industry conditions, limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business operations or
to our industry overall, and place us at a disadvantage in relation to our competitors that may have lower debt levels.
Holdings’ and CUSA’s ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on their respective indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate positive cash
flows and on our future financial results. Our ability to generate positive cash flows is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors, some of
which are beyond our control. As our industry recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent writers’ and actors’ guild strikes, we may not be able to
generate cash flows at historical levels, or guarantee that future borrowings will be available under our senior secured credit facility, in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay
our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our lease and debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital
expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to take any of these actions, and these actions
may not be successful or permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Certain actions may be restricted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements,
including our senior secured credit facility.
If we fail to make any required payment under the agreements governing our indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in our
debt instruments, we would be in default. As a result, our debt holders would have the ability to accelerate the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness, and the lenders under
our senior secured credit facility could terminate their commitments and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings. We could be forced into bankruptcy or
liquidation. The acceleration of our indebtedness under one agreement may permit acceleration of indebtedness under other agreements that contain cross-default and cross-
acceleration provisions. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our indebtedness or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to
obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt holders require immediate payment, we may not have
sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness.
A lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned or a change in outlook to our outstanding debt securities by rating agencies may increase our future borrowing costs and
reduce our access to capital.
We are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies. The rating scales and methodologies used to derive individual ratings may vary from agency to agency. Credit
ratings are issued by credit rating agencies based on evaluations of our ability to pay back our outstanding debt and the likelihood that we would default on that debt prior to its
maturity. The credit ratings issued by the rating agencies represent the rating agency's evaluation of both qualitative and quantitative information for our company. The credit
ratings that are issued are based on the rating agency’s judgment and experience in determining what information should be considered in giving a rating to a particular
company. Ratings are always subject to change and there can be no assurance that our current ratings will remain the same for any given period of time.
Our debt currently has a non-investment grade rating, and any rating assigned could be lowered (or outlook thereof could be changed) or withdrawn entirely by a
rating agency if, in that rating agency’s judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes in our business or industry, so warrant. Any
future lowering of our ratings likely would make it more difficult or more expensive for us to obtain additional debt financing. In particular, our access to the capital markets
may be impacted, our other funding sources may decrease, the cost of debt may increase as a result of increased interest rates or fees, and we may be required to provide
additional credit assurances, including collateral, under certain contracts or arrangements.
Holdings’ inability to raise funds necessary to settle conversions of, or to repurchase, the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes (as defined below), upon a fundamental change
as described in the indenture governing the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, may lead to defaults under such indenture and under agreements governing our existing or
future indebtedness.
If Holdings settles the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes with cash, or by a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, upon a fundamental change as
described in the indenture governing the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, Holdings will be required to make cash payments with respect to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes
being converted. However, Holdings may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time it is required to settle the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes
being surrendered or converted. In addition, Holdings’ ability to settle the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes or to pay cash upon conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior
Notes is limited by the agreements governing CUSA’s existing indebtedness and may also be limited by law, by regulatory
14
authority or by agreements that will govern future indebtedness. Holdings’ failure to settle the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the
indenture governing the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes or to pay cash payable on future conversions of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes as required by such indenture
would constitute a default under such indenture. A default under the indenture governing the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to
a default under agreements governing CUSA’s existing or future indebtedness.
The conditional conversion feature of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes is triggered, holders of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes will be entitled to
convert the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes,
Holdings may elect to satisfy its conversion obligations by payment and delivery of a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. Settlement of this conversion
obligation through the payment of cash could adversely affect Holdings’ and CUSA’s liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their 4.50% Convertible
Senior Notes, Holdings could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes as a
current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of its net working capital.
Conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of Holdings’ common
stock.
The conversion of some or all of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent Holdings delivers shares
of its common stock upon conversion of any of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes may from time to time in the future be convertible at
the option of their holders prior to their scheduled terms under certain circumstances. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could
adversely affect prevailing market prices of its common stock. In addition, the existence of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes may encourage short selling by market
participants because the conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior
Notes into shares of Holdings’ common stock could depress the price of Holdings’ common stock.
The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions (each as defined below) may affect the value of Holdings’ common stock.
In connection with the pricing of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, Holdings entered into Hedge Transactions with, and sold Warrants (as defined below) to, Option
Counterparties (as defined below). The Hedge Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Holdings’ common stock upon any conversion of the
4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments Holdings is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes,
as the case may be. The Warrants would separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market price per share of Holdings’ common stock exceeds the strike price of any
Warrants on the applicable expiration dates unless, subject to the terms of the Warrants, Holdings elects to cash settle the Warrants. In addition, the Option Counterparties or
their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Holdings’ common stock and/or purchasing or
selling Holdings’ common stock or other securities of Holdings’ in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes (and are likely to
do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes or following any repurchase of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes by us in
connection with any fundamental change repurchase date or otherwise). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of Holdings’ common
stock.
In addition, if any such Hedge Transactions and Warrants fail to become effective, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may unwind their hedge
positions with respect to Holdings’ common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of its common stock. The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and
activities on the market price of Holdings’ common stock will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could adversely
affect the value of Holdings’ common stock.
15
Holdings is subject to counterparty risk with respect to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes Hedge Transactions.
The Option Counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and Holdings will be subject to the risk that one or more of such Option
Counterparties may default under the Hedge Transactions. Holdings’ exposure to the credit risk of the Option Counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. If any Option
Counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, Holdings will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to its exposure at that time under
its transactions with that counterparty. Holdings’ exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in Holdings’ exposure will be correlated to the increase in
Holdings’ common stock market price and the volatility of the market price of Holdings’ common stock. In addition, upon a default by the Option Counterparty, Holdings may
suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than it currently anticipates with respect to its common stock. Holdings can provide no assurance as to the financial stability
or viability of any Option Counterparty.
A credit market crisis may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and may materially impact our operations.
Severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the credit markets could materially impact our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms or at all. The inability
to access debt financing on reasonable terms could materially impact our ability to make acquisitions, invest in technology innovations or significantly expand our business in
the future.
Holdings’ ability to pay dividends may be limited or otherwise restricted.
Holdings’ ability to pay dividends is limited by its status as a holding company and the terms of CUSA’s senior notes indentures and CUSA’s senior secured credit
facility, which restrict Holdings’ ability to pay dividends and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to pay dividends, directly or indirectly, to Holdings. Under CUSA’s debt
instruments, we may pay a cash dividend up to a specified amount, provided we have satisfied certain financial covenants in, and are not in default under, CUSA’s debt
instruments. The declaration of future dividends on Holdings’ common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Common Stock, will be at the discretion of Holdings’ board of
directors and will depend upon many factors, including our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, limitations in CUSA’s debt
agreements and legal requirements. Holdings suspended its dividend in March 2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and it is uncertain when Holdings will
resume paying dividends.
Future sales of Holdings’ common stock may adversely affect the prevailing market price.
Future sales of substantial amounts of Holdings’ common stock in the open market and the issuance of the shares reserved for potential future issuance under Holdings’
incentive plan, in exchange for outstanding warrants, conversion of outstanding 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, or in connection with acquisitions or other corporate events,
will be dilutive to Holdings’ existing stockholders and could result in a decrease in Holdings’ stock price. Holdings cannot predict whether substantial amounts of its common
stock will be sold in the open market in anticipation of, or following, any divestiture by any of its large stockholders, its directors or executive officers of their shares of
common stock. Holdings can also issue shares of its common stock which are authorized but unissued and not reserved for any specific purpose without any action or approval
by its stockholders.
We may not be able to generate additional revenue or continue to realize value from our investment in NCMI.
As of December 31, 2023, we owned 4.4 million shares of National Cinemedia, Inc. (“NCMI”), which represented an ownership interest in NCM of approximately
4.5%. NCMI is a holding company that serves as the sole manager of NCM. NCM comprises approximately the entire balance of NCMI’s assets, liabilities and operating cash
flows. CUSA receives monthly theatre access and advertising fees under an Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM, and CUSA is entitled to receive quarterly distributions of
excess cash from NCM pursuant to NCM’s operating agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Holdings and CUSA each recorded
approximately $44.1 million, $52.2 million and $53.3 million in other revenue related to NCM, respectively, and $0.3 million, $0 million and $0 million in cash distributions,
respectively. On April 11, 2023, NCM filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. NCMI continued to manage NCM, the
“debtor in possession,” under the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court and in accordance with the applicable bankruptcy laws and orders of the bankruptcy court. In general, as
debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, NCM was authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary
course of business without the prior approval of the bankruptcy court. On August 3, 2023, NCMI announced that it had effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common
stock. NCMI’s common stock automatically began trading
16
on a split adjusted basis at the opening of the market on August 4, 2023. After giving effect to the reverse stock split, the Company owns approximately 4.4 million shares of
NCMI common stock. NCM emerged from bankruptcy on August 7, 2023, and the Company’s ownership interest in NCMI was reduced to less than 5%. Distributions of excess
cash from NCM to its members, including NCMI, were restricted through December 2023 in accordance with the credit agreement amendment NCM entered into with its
lenders and as a result of their bankruptcy filing. NCMI also suspended its dividend.
Cinema advertising is a small component of the U.S. advertising market and therefore, NCM competes with larger, more established and well-known media platforms
such as broadcast radio and television, cable and satellite television, outdoor advertising and Internet portals. In-theatre advertising may not continue to attract advertisers or
NCM’s in-theatre advertising format may not continue to be received favorably by theatre patrons. If NCM is unable to continue to generate consistent advertising revenue, its
results of operations may be adversely affected and our investment in NCM may be adversely impacted. Since NCM's revenues are primarily dependent on theatre attendance,
future NCM revenues and future dividends from NCMI will depend on the continued recovery of the motion picture exhibition industry.
Regulatory Risks
We are subject to various government regulations which could result in substantial costs.
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations and administrative practices in the U.S. and internationally. We must comply with laws regulating,
among other things, antitrust activities, employment environment, sale of concession goods, alcoholic beverages, data protection and privacy and Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") and similar state disability rights laws. Compliance with the ADA and similar disability rights laws requires us as a public accommodation to
reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities. This applies to the construction of new theatres, certain renovations, existing theatres, websites and mobile applications
and presentations for the blind, deaf and hard of hearing. Changes in existing laws, regulations or administrative practices or new laws, regulations or administrative practices
could have a significant impact on our business.
We may face data protection, data security, and privacy risks in connection with privacy regulation.
Strict data privacy laws regulating the collection, transmission, storage and use of employee data and consumers’ personally identifying information are evolving in the
U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws impose compliance obligations for the collection, use, retention, security, processing, transfer and deletion of
personally identifiable information of individuals and creates enhanced rights for individuals. These changes in the legal and regulatory environments in the areas of customer
and employee privacy, data security, and cross-border data flows could have a material adverse effect on our business, primarily through the impairment of our marketing and
transaction processing activities, the limitation on the types of information that we may collect, process and retain, the resulting costs of complying with such legal and
regulatory requirements and potential monetary forfeitures and penalties for noncompliance.
We may be subject to increased labor and benefits costs.
In the U.S., we are subject to United States federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, working conditions and overtime. We are also subject to
union regulations in certain of our international markets, which can specify wage rates as well as minimum hours to be paid to certain employees. As federal and state
minimum wage rates increase, we may need to increase not only the wages of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to employees at wage rates that are above
minimum wage. Labor market conditions have also recently driven increases in wages across our labor base and similar increases may continue in the future. Labor shortages,
increased employee turnover and health care mandates could also increase our labor costs. This in turn could lead us to increase prices, which could impact our sales.
Conversely, if competitive pressures or other factors prevent us from offsetting increased labor costs by increases in prices, our results of operations may be adversely impacted.
17
Provisions in Holdings’ corporate documents and certain of CUSA’s agreements, as well as Delaware law, may hinder a change of control.
Provisions in the Holdings amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could
discourage unsolicited proposals to acquire us. These provisions include:
•authorization of Holdings’ board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval;
•a board of directors classified into three classes of directors with the directors of each class having staggered, three-year terms;
•provisions regulating the ability of Holdings’ stockholders to nominate directors for election or to bring matters for action at annual meetings of its stockholders; and
•provisions of Delaware law that restrict many business combinations and provide that directors serving on classified boards of directors, may be removed only for cause.
Certain provisions of CUSA’s 8.75% secured notes indenture, 5.25% senior notes indenture, CUSA’s 5.875% senior notes indenture and CUSA’s senior secured credit
facility may have the effect of delaying or preventing future transactions involving a “change of control.” A “change of control” would require us to make an offer to the
holders of each of its 8.75% Secured Notes, 5.25% Senior Notes and 5.875% Senior Notes to repurchase all of the outstanding notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. A “change of control” would also be an event of default under CUSA’s senior
secured credit facility.
Risks Related to Information Security and Business Disruptions
An information security incident, including a cyber security breach, and our failure to protect our electronically stored data could adversely affect our business or
reputation.
We collect, use, store and maintain electronic information and data necessary to conduct our business, including confidential and proprietary information of the
company, our customers, and our employees. We also rely on the availability of information technology systems to operate our business, including for communications,
receiving and displaying movies, ticketing, guest services, payments, and other general operations. We rely on some of our vendors to store and process certain data and to
manage, host, and/or provide some of our information technology systems. Because of the scope and complexity of our information technology systems, our reliance on
vendors to provide, support and protect our systems and data, and the constantly evolving cyber-threat landscape, our information technology systems are subject to the risk of
disruption, failure, unauthorized access, cyber-terrorism, human error, misuse, tampering, theft, and other cyber-attacks. These or similar events, whether accidental or
intentional, could result in theft, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, fraudulent or unlawful use of customer, employee or company data, which could harm our reputation or
result in a loss of business, as well as remedial and other costs, fines, investigations, enforcement actions or lawsuits. These or similar events could also lead to an interruption in
the operation of our systems resulting in business impact, including loss of business. These same factors could also affect our ability to adapt to and comply with changing
regulations and contractual obligations applicable to data security and privacy, which are increasingly demanding, both in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we
operate. In order to address these risks, we have adopted security measures and technology, operate a security program, and work continuously to evaluate and improve our
security posture. However, the development and maintenance of these systems and programs are costly and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change
and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. As such, there can be no assurance that these or similar events will not occur in the future or will not have
an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
In addition to Company-specific cyber threats or events, our business and results of operations could also be impacted by cyber-related events affecting our peers and
partners within the entertainment industry, as well as other retail companies. We maintain insurance designed to provide coverage for cyber risks related to what we believe to
be adequate and collectible insurance in the event of the theft, loss, fraudulent or unlawful use of customer, employee or company data, but the foregoing events or future events
could result in costs and business impacts which may not be covered or may be in excess of any available insurance that we may have procured. As a result, future events could
have a material impact on our business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
18
Other General Risks
A failure to adapt to future technological innovations could impact our ability to compete effectively and could adversely affect our results of operations.
While we continue to invest in technological innovations, such as laser projectors and motion seats, new technological innovations continue to impact our industry. If
we are unable to respond to or invest in changes in technology and the technological preferences of our customers, we may not be able to compete with other exhibitors or other
entertainment venues, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Legislative or regulatory initiatives related to global warming/climate change concerns may negatively impact our business.
Recently, there has been an increasing focus and continuous debate on global climate change including increased attention from regulatory agencies and legislative
bodies. This increased focus may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an as-yet unspecified array of environmental matters. Legislative, regulatory or other efforts in the
U.S. to combat climate change could result in future increases in the cost of raw materials, taxes, transportation and utilities for our vendors and for us which would result in
higher operating costs for the Company. Also, compliance of our theatres and accompanying real estate with new and revised environmental, zoning, land-use or building
codes, laws, rules or regulations, could have a material and adverse effect on our business. However, we are unable to predict at this time, the potential effects, if any, that any
future environmental initiatives may have on our business.
We may be subject to liability under environmental laws and regulations.
We own and operate a large number of theatres and other properties within the U.S. and internationally, which may be subject to various foreign, federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment or human health. Such environmental laws and regulations include those that impose liability for the
investigation and remediation of spills or releases of hazardous materials. We may incur such liability, including for any currently or formerly owned, leased or operated
property, or for any site, to which we may have disposed, or arranged for the disposal of, hazardous materials or wastes. Certain of these laws and regulations may impose
liability, including joint and several liability, which can result in a liable party being obliged to pay for greater than its share, regardless of fault or the legality of the original
disposal. Environmental conditions relating to our properties or operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and cash flows.
Product recalls and associated costs could adversely affect our reputation and financial condition.
We may be found liable if the consumption of any of the products we sell causes illness or injury. We are also subject to recall by product manufacturers or if the food
products become contaminated. Recalls could result in losses due to the cost of the recall, the destruction of the product and lost sales due to the unavailability of the product for
a period of time.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy. The Company has developed an information security program to address material risks from cybersecurity threats. The program
includes policies and procedures that identify how security measures and controls are developed, implemented, and maintained. Risk-based analysis and judgment, along with a
recognized security framework, are used to select security controls to address risks. During this process, the following factors, among others, are considered: likelihood and
severity of risk, impact on the Company and others if a risk materializes, feasibility and cost of controls, and impact of controls on operations and others. Specific controls that
are used to some extent include endpoint threat detection and response (EDR), identity and access management (IAM), privileged access management (PAM), logging and
monitoring involving the use of security information and event management (SIEM), multi-factor authentication (MFA), firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention, and
vulnerability and patch management.
Third-party security firms are used in different capacities to provide or operate some of these controls and technology systems, including cloud-based platforms and
services, as well as a security operations center. For example, third parties are used to conduct assessments, such as vulnerability scans and penetration testing. The
19
Company uses a variety of processes to address cybersecurity threats related to the use of third-party technology and services, including pre-acquisition diligence, imposition of
contractual obligations, and performance monitoring.
The Company has a written incident response plan and conducts tabletop exercises to enhance incident response preparedness. Business continuity and disaster recovery
plans are used to prepare for the potential for a disruption in technology we rely on. The Company is a member of an industry cybersecurity intelligence and risk sharing
organization. Employees undergo security awareness training when hired and annually. The Company (or third parties it relies on) may not be able to fully, continuously, and
effectively implement security controls as intended. As described above, we utilize a risk-based approach and judgment to determine the security controls to implement, and it is
possible we may not implement appropriate controls if we do not recognize or underestimate a particular risk. In addition, security controls, no matter how well designed or
implemented, may only mitigate and not fully eliminate risks. And events, when detected by security tools or third parties, may not always be immediately understood or acted
upon.
Additionally, in Item 1A Risk Factors, under the heading of Risk Related to Information Security and Business Disruptions, forward-looking cybersecurity threats that
could have a material impact on the Company are discussed. Those sections of Item 1A Risk Factors should be read in conjunction with this Item 1C Cybersecurity.
Governance. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is the management position with primary responsibility for the development, operation, and maintenance of our
information security program. The Company’s CTO, Doug Fay, has served as the Chief Technology Officer & Sr. Vice President for Cinemark since August 2006. Mr. Fay has
a background in software engineering and application architecture and has worked in the information technology field since the early 1990s. The CTO routinely reviews risks
and security measures and meets monthly with the general counsel, CFO, and Global Controller to review security measures and risks. Oversight of the information security
program at the Board level sits with Audit Committee. Presentations regarding security measures and risks to the Audit Committee occur semi-annually. The Company’s
incident response plan defines the process for escalating incidents based on level of severity to the management team and Audit Committee.

See also Item 1, Business – Theatre Operations, for a summary of the geographic locations for our U.S. and international theatre circuit as of December 31, 2023.
The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and finance leases with base terms generally
ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to fixed lease payments, some of the leases provide for variable lease payments and some require the payment of taxes, insurance,
common area maintenance and other costs applicable to the property. Variable lease payments include payments based on a percentage of sales over defined thresholds. Other
variable lease payments include payments adjusted periodically for inflation, changes in attendance or changes in average ticket price. The Company can renew, at its option,
many of its leases at defined or then market rental rates for various renewal periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments throughout the lease term. See Note
4 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our leases.
In addition to our theatre properties, we currently own an office building in Plano, Texas, which is our global headquarters. We lease office space in Frisco, Texas and a
warehouse in McKinney, Texas. We also lease office space in seven regions in Latin America for our local office teams.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information and Holders of Common Stock
Holdings’ common equity consists of common stock, which has traded on the New York Stock Exchange since April 24, 2007 under the symbol “CNK.”
As of December 31, 2023, there were approximately 570 holders of record of Holdings’ common stock and there were no other classes of stock issued and outstanding.
Dividend Policy
Holdings, at the discretion of its board of directors and subject to applicable law, may pay regular quarterly dividends on its common stock. The amount, if any, of the
dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon our then available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, debt agreement restrictions, forecasted earnings
and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors. In March 2020, the Holdings board of directors suspended its dividend in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Activities for a discussion
of dividend restrictions under CUSA’s debt agreements.
CUSA did not pay any cash dividends to Holdings during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. CUSA’s ability to pay dividends is limited by the terms
of its senior notes indentures and its senior secured credit facility, which restrict its ability to pay dividends and the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends. See Note 14 to
the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt agreements. The declaration of future dividends will depend upon many factors, including CUSA’s
results of operations, financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, limitations in our debt agreements and legal requirements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cinemark Holdings, Inc. is a holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary is Cinemark USA, Inc. Holdings consolidates CUSA and its subsidiaries for financial
statement purposes, and CUSA comprises approximately the entire balance of Holdings’ assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, CUSA’s operating revenue and
operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Holdings’ revenue and operating expenses. As such, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (“MD&A”) that follows is for Holdings and CUSA in all material respects, unless otherwise noted. Differences between the operations and results of Holdings and
CUSA are separately disclosed and explained. Where it is important to distinguish between the entities, we either refer specifically to Holdings or CUSA. Otherwise, all
references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” or “Cinemark” relate to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and all references to CUSA relate to
CUSA and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report. This discussion may
contain forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties and risks
associated with these statements. Discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for 2022 compared with 2021 is included in Item 7 of the Company’s
2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 24, 2023.
Overview
We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the U.S., Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, and Paraguay. As of December 31, 2023, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments – U.S. markets and
international markets. See Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented effect on the theatrical exhibition industry. We temporarily closed our theatres in the U.S. and Latin
America during March of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak. We reopened theatres as soon as local restrictions and the status of the COVID-19 pandemic would
allow. All of our domestic and international theatres were reopened by the end of 2021. After reopening our theatres, we faced ongoing challenges with the significant reduction
in the volume of new film releases. The industry has made significant progress in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; however its ongoing recovery continues to be
contingent upon several key factors, including the volume of new film content available, which has also been impacted by the recent writers’ and actors’ guild strikes, the box
office performance of new film content released, the duration of the exclusive theatrical release window and evolving consumer behavior with competition from other forms of
in-and-out of home entertainment.
Revenue and Expenses
We generate revenue primarily from filmed entertainment box office receipts and concession sales, with additional revenue from screen advertising, screen rental and
other revenue streams, such as transactional fees, vendor marketing promotions, studio trailer placements, meeting rentals and electronic video games located in some of our
theatres. We also offer alternative entertainment, such as the Metropolitan Opera, concert events, live and pre-recorded sports programs and other special events in our theatres.
NCM provides our domestic theatres with various forms of in-theatre advertising. Our Flix Media subsidiaries provide screen advertising and alternative content for our
international circuit and other international exhibitors.
Films released during the year ended December 31, 2023 included Barbie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 3, Oppenheimer, The Little Mermaid, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, John Wick: Chapter 4, Sound of Freedom, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour concert film,
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Wonka, and Trolls Band Together, among other films.
Films scheduled for release in 2024 include Madame Web, Dune: Part Two, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Kung Fu Panda 4, The Fall Guy, Furiosa, Kingdom of the
Planet of the Apes, Inside Out 2, A Quiet Place: Day One,
24
Despicable Me 4, Deadpool 3, Joker: Folie à Deux, Venom 3, Wicked - Part I, Mufusa: The Lion King, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, among other films.
Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with our admissions revenue. Film rental costs as a percentage of revenue are generally higher for periods in which
more blockbuster films are released. The Company previously received virtual print fees (VPFs) from studios for certain of its international locations, which were included as a
contra-expense in film rental and advertising costs on the consolidated statements of income. However, these costs were fully recovered during 2021, and as a result, were not
received during 2022 and 2023 and will not be received in future periods. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily related to expanding our reach to our
guests, keeping Cinemark elevated in the moviegoer consideration set and growing loyalty. These expenses vary depending on the timing and length of such campaigns.
Concession supplies expense is variable in nature and fluctuates with our concession revenue and also product mix. Inflationary pressures, and to a lesser extent supply
chain interruptions, have impacted, and may continue to impact, product costs and product availability. We source products from a variety of partners around the world to
minimize supply chain interruptions and cost pressures, wherever possible.
Although salaries and wages include a fixed cost component (i.e., the minimum staffing costs to operate a theatre facility during non-peak periods), salaries and wages
tend to move in relation to revenue as theatre staffing is adjusted to respond to changes in attendance. Staffing levels may vary based on the amenities offered at each location,
such as full-service restaurants, bars or expanded food and beverage options. In certain international locations, staffing levels are also subject to local regulations, including
minimum hour requirements. Labor market conditions and inflationary pressures have driven increases in wages across our labor base and similar increases may continue in the
future.
Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain leases are
subject to percentage rent only, while others are subject to percentage rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual performance level is achieved.
Utilities and other costs include both fixed and variable costs and primarily consist of utilities, property taxes, janitorial costs, credit card transaction fees, third party
ticket sales commissions, repairs and maintenance expenses, security services and projection and sound equipment maintenance expenses.
General and administrative expenses to support the overall management of the Company are primarily fixed in nature with certain variable components. Fixed expenses
include salaries, wages and benefits costs for our corporate office personnel, facility expenses for our corporate and other offices, software license and maintenance costs and
audit fees. Some variable expenses may include incentive compensation, consulting and legal fees, supplies and other costs that are not specifically associated with the
operations of our theatres.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Holdings and CUSA each prepare their consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP. As
such, Holdings and CUSA are each required to make certain estimates and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. The significant accounting policies and estimates, which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Holdings’ and CUSA’s reported
consolidated financial results, include the following:
Revenue and Expense Recognition
Our patrons have the option to purchase movie tickets well in advance of a movie showtime, right before the movie showtime, or at any point in between those two
timeframes depending on seat availability. We recognize such admissions revenue when the showtime for a purchased movie ticket has passed. Concession revenue is
recognized when products are sold to the consumer, or if purchased in advance, once the showtime associated with the customer’s movie ticket has passed. Other revenue
primarily consists of screen advertising, screen rental revenue, promotional income, studio trailer placements, revenue from electronic video games located in our theatres, and
transactional fees. Except for NCM screen advertising advances (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements), these revenues are generally recognized when we have
fulfilled our performance obligations by providing the specified services.
25
We sell gift cards and discount ticket vouchers, the proceeds from which are recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue for gift cards and discount ticket vouchers
is recognized when they are redeemed for concession items or, if redeemed for movie tickets, when the showtime has passed. We generally record breakage revenue on gift
cards and discount ticket vouchers based on redemption activity and historical experience with unused balances.
We offer a subscription program in the U.S. whereby patrons can pay a monthly or annual fee to receive a monthly credit for use towards a future movie ticket
purchase. We also offer monthly subscription fee programs in several of our international locations where customers can pay a monthly fee to receive benefits such as a free
monthly ticket. We record the subscription program fees as deferred revenue and record admissions revenue when the showtime for a movie ticket purchased with a credit has
passed.
We have loyalty programs in the U.S. and many of our international locations that either have a prepaid annual fee or award points to customers as purchases are made.
For those loyalty programs that have a prepaid annual fee, we recognize the fee collected as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the annual membership period. For those
loyalty programs that award points to customers based on their purchases, we record a portion of the original transaction proceeds as deferred revenue based on the number of
reward points issued to customers and recognize the deferred revenue when the customer redeems such points. The value of loyalty points issued is based on the estimated fair
value of the rewards offered. We record breakage revenue on deferred loyalty and subscription revenue generally upon the expiration of loyalty points and subscription credits,
respectively, as we do not yet have sufficient historical data related to the redemption patterns of these programs to estimate breakage.
Film rental costs are based on the film licensing arrangements and accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either; 1) a sliding scale formula, which is
generally established prior to the opening of the film, 2) a firm terms formula as negotiated prior to a film’s theatrical run or 3) estimates of the final settlement rate, which
occurs at the conclusion of the film’s run. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined scale that is based upon box office
performance of the film for its full theatrical run. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a percentage of box office receipts that can either be an aggregate rate for
the full theatrical run or rates that decline over the term of the theatrical run. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film's
theatrical run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can generally be determined a few weeks after a
film is released when the initial box office performance of the film is known. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental cost estimates are adjusted at
that time.
Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are
subject to monthly percentage rent only, which is accrued each month based on actual revenues. Certain of our other theatres require payment of percentage rent in addition to
fixed monthly rent if an annual target revenue level is achieved. Percentage rent expense for these annual payments is estimated and recorded for these theatres on a monthly
basis if the theatre’s historical performance or forecasted performance indicates that the annual target revenue level will be reached. Once actual annual percentage rent is
determinable, the timing of which is based on the respective lease agreement, percentage rent expense estimates are adjusted at that time.
Theatre properties and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In estimating the useful lives of our theatre properties
and equipment, we have relied upon our experience with such assets and our historical replacement period. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions and adjust
them as necessary. Leasehold improvements for which we pay, and to which we have title, are amortized over the lesser of their useful life or the remaining initial lease term.
Long-Lived Assets Impairment Evaluations
We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets
may not be fully recoverable. We also perform a full quantitative impairment evaluation on an annual basis. We assess many factors to determine whether to impair individual
theatre assets, including the following:
•actual theatre level cash flows;
•budgeted or forecasted theatre level cash flows;
•theatre property and equipment carrying values;
26
•operating lease right-of-use asset carrying values;
•the age of a recently built theatre;
•change in competitive theatres in the marketplace;
•the impact of recent theatre remodels or other substantial improvements;
•available lease renewal options; and
•other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets.
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on a theatre level, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The
impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s
useful life correlates with the remaining lease period, which may include the probability of the exercise of available renewal periods for leased properties, and the lesser of
twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life for owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying
value, we then compare the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value
of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Fair
value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC
Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples.
See further discussion of our impairment evaluation policy in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements. See a summary of the impairment charges recorded
during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Impairment Evaluations
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may
not be fully recoverable. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the U.S. and each of our international countries that has been allocated
goodwill (we do not have goodwill recorded for all of our international locations). Under our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we estimate the fair value of each
reporting unit and compare that to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using (i) a market approach, which considers a multiple of cash flows for each reporting unit based
upon public trading and recent transaction valuation multiples as the basis for fair value and (ii) an income approach, which uses a discounted cash flow model incorporating
discount rates commensurate with the risks involved as the basis for fair value. Significant judgment including management’s estimate of future theatre level cash flows for each
theatre is involved in estimating the fair value of a reporting unit. Our estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC
Topic 820-10-35, are based on projected operating performance of each reporting unit, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Under ASC Topic 350,
Goodwill, Intangibles and Other, we may perform a qualitative impairment assessment or a quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill.
Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually as of November 30th or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value
may not be fully recoverable. Under ASC Topic 350, we can elect to perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment assessment for our tradename intangible assets. A
quantitative tradename impairment assessment includes comparing the carrying values of tradename assets to their estimated fair value. Fair values are estimated by applying an
estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradenames to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the
estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating
market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic
820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. The Company’s qualitative assessment considers industry and market conditions and
recent developments that may impact the revenue forecasts and other estimates as compared to its most recent quantitative assessment.
See further discussion of our impairment evaluation policy in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements. See a summary of the impairment charges recorded
during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
27
Income Taxes
CUSA participates in the consolidated return of Holdings; however, CUSA’s provisions for income taxes are computed on a stand-alone basis. We use an asset and
liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with
respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it
is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be
indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is
recognition: We determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation
processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we presume that the
position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that
meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts
recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a
deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). We accrue interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion
of income taxes.
Accounting for Investment in National CineMedia, Inc. and Related Agreements
We have an investment in National CineMedia, Inc., or NCMI. NCMI is a holding company and the sole manager of NCM. NCM operates a digital in-theatre network
in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising. NCM comprises approximately the entire balance of NCMI’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. The Company entered
into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, or ESA, with NCM pursuant to which NCM primarily provides screen advertising to its domestic theatres. On February 13, 2007, NCMI
completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock. In connection with the NCMI initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the
ESA. At the time of the NCMI IPO and as a result of amending the ESA, the Company received approximately $174 million in cash consideration from NCM. The proceeds
were recorded as deferred revenue, or NCM screen advertising advances, and are being amortized over the term of the amended and restated ESA, which expires in February
2041.
The Company also periodically receives consideration in the form of common unit adjustments from NCM. Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated
as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, referred to as the Founding Members, we receive annual adjustments to the common membership units primarily
based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by us. The common units received are recorded at estimated fair
value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue or NCM screen advertising advances. The fair value of the common units received
is estimated based on the market price of NCMI common stock (Level 1 input as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement) at the time the common units are
determined, adjusted for volatility associated with the estimated time period it would take to convert the common units and register the respective shares. The recognition of
revenue related to the NCM screen advertising advances is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the amended and restated ESA through February 2041.
On April 11, 2023, NCM filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. NCMI continued to manage NCM as the “debtor in
possession,” under the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court and in accordance with the applicable bankruptcy laws and orders of the bankruptcy court. In general, as debtor in
possession under the Bankruptcy Code, NCM was authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of
business without the prior approval of the bankruptcy court. Due to NCM’s bankruptcy proceedings, we reassessed our rights and level of influence over NCM. We determined
that effective April 11, 2023, the date NCM filed its bankruptcy petition, we no longer had significant influence over NCM and therefore ceased accounting for our investment
in NCMI under the equity method of accounting in the second quarter of 2023. Effective April 11, 2023, we started to account for our investment in NCMI in accordance with
the guidance set forth in FASB ASC Topic 321 Investments - Equity Securities, which requires us to measure our
28
investment in common stock of NCMI at fair value and recognize unrealized holding gains and losses on our investment in earnings.
Through April 11, 2023, we accounted for our investment in NCMI under the equity method of accounting, and therefore evaluated our investment in NCMI/NCM for
impairment that is other than temporary on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated the current value of the investment may be less than its
carrying value. Under ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, a loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline should be
recognized. Factors that are considered in evaluating whether a decline in the value of an investment is other than temporary include a severe and sustained decline in the quoted
market price of an investment below the carrying value of the investment, or specific events that may adversely influence the operations of the investee in a permanent or
irreversible manner. We evaluated our investment in NCMI for impairment on April 11, 2023, the date NCM filed for bankruptcy, and we did not find any indication of
impairment as the share price of NCMI was above the carrying value of our investment in NCMI.
On August 3, 2023, NCMI announced that it had effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock. NCMI’s common stock automatically began trading on a
split adjusted basis at the opening of the market on August 4, 2023. After giving effect to the reverse stock split, the Company owns approximately 4.4 million shares of NCMI
common stock. NCM emerged from bankruptcy on August 7, 2023, and the Company’s ownership interest in NCMI was reduced to less than 5%. The Company no longer has
the right to designate two board members to the NCMI board of directors.
See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our investment in NCMI and the related accounting.

(1)U.S. operating segment revenue includes eliminations of intercompany transactions with the international operating segment. See Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
(2)Average ticket price is calculated as admissions revenue divided by attendance. Concession revenue per patron is calculated as concession revenue divided by attendance.
(3)Constant currency revenue amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding month for 2022. We translate the results of our
international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant changes in foreign exchange rates
from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison
of business performance that excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
•U.S. Attendance increased 16.8% to 127.7 million patrons in 2023 compared with 109.3 million patrons in 2022 due to a more consistent cadence of new film releases with
broad consumer appeal and the box office success of the films released. Average ticket price increased 4.8% to $9.68 during 2023 compared with $9.24 during 2022, driven by
inflationary and strategic pricing initiatives and a higher mix of alternative content that carries a higher ticket price than traditional films. Concession revenue per patron
increased 6.7% to $7.45 during 2023 compared with $6.98 during 2022 primarily driven by inflationary and strategic pricing actions as well as product mix. Other revenue for
2023 increased 15.4% to $227.3 million compared with $197.0 million for 2022 primarily due to attendance growth, which drove an increase in transaction fees, as well as
higher screen advertising and promotional revenue.
•International. Attendance increased 29.5% to 82.1 million patrons in 2023 compared with 63.4 million in 2022 due to a more consistent cadence of new film releases with
broad consumer appeal and the box office success of the films released. Average ticket price was $3.89 as reported, $4.79 in constant currency, for 2023 compared with $3.73
for 2022. The increase in average ticket price in constant currency was primarily due to inflationary pricing actions. Concession revenue per patron was $2.92 as reported, $3.61
in constant currency, for 2023 compared with $2.76 for 2022. The increase in concession revenue per patron in constant currency was primarily
31
due to inflationary pricing actions. Other revenue for 2023 increased 26.6% to $91.8 million compared with $72.5 million for 2022 primarily due to higher attendance, which
drove an increase in transaction fees, as well as higher membership, screen advertising, and promotional revenue.

•U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs for 2023 were 56.9% of admissions revenue compared with 57.8% for 2022 due to the mix of new film content released. Concession
supplies expense for 2023 was 17.8% of concession revenue compared with 17.1% of concession revenue for 2022. The concession supplies rate for 2023 was impacted by
inflationary pressures on certain concession categories and product mix, partially offset by the impact of strategic pricing initiatives on concession revenue.
Salaries and wages increased to $333.8 million compared with $314.7 million for 2022 as a result of higher attendance, expanded operating hours and wage rate increases,
partially offset by labor productivity initiatives. Facility lease expense, which is primarily fixed in nature, was $246.6 million, essentially flat to 2022. Utilities and other
costs increased to $355.4 million, as many of these costs, such as credit card transaction fees, repairs and maintenance, utilities costs, security costs and janitorial costs,
are variable in nature and were impacted by attendance growth and inflationary pressures. Higher commissions on gift cards sold by third party retailers also contributed
to the increase in utilites and other costs.
•International. Film rentals and advertising costs for 2023 were 50.7% of admissions revenue, consistent with 2022. Concession supplies expense was 21.8% of concessions
revenue for 2023 compared with 22.1% of concession revenue for 2022. The decrease in the concessions supplies rate was primarily driven by the impact of strategic pricing
initiatives to offset inflationary pressures.
Salaries and wages increased to $69.3 million as reported for 2023 due to wage rate increases, higher attendance, and expanded operating hours. Facility lease expense
increased 42.8% to $83.1 million as reported due to higher percentage rent driven by increased revenue and the return of certain minimum rent thresholds compared with
2022. Utilities and other costs increased to $111.4 million as reported, as many of these costs, such as credit card fees and other transaction fees, repairs and maintenance,
janitorial costs, utilities and screen advertising commissions, are variable in nature and were impacted by the significant increase in attendance for 2023 as well as
inflationary impacts. These expenses, as reported, were also impacted by exchange rate fluctuations in each of the countries in which we operate.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for Holdings increased to $198.8 million for 2023 compared with $177.6 million for 2022.
General and administrative expense attributable to CUSA increased to $195.5 million for 2023 compared with $174.6 million for 2022. The increase for both Holdings and
CUSA is primarily due to higher corporate headcount, higher incentive and share-based compensation, wages and benefits inflation, higher property and liability insurance, and
a continued shift to cloud-based software, partially offset by lower professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $209.5 million for 2023 from $238.2 million for 2022 primarily due to the
impairment of theatre assets during 2022 and 2023.
32
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges of $16.6 million during 2023. Long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $15.9
million were recorded in 2023, related to certain theatres that are not showing sufficient recovery since reopening after the temporary COVID-19 related closures when
compared with the rest of our theatre circuit. In addition, we recorded an impairment of $0.7 million on our investment in NCMI in the first quarter of 2023 as NCMI’s stock
price was below the Company’s carrying value of NCM per common unit and due to the prolonged recovery of NCM’s business from the COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded
asset impairment charges of $174.1 million during 2022. Long-lived asset impairment charges of $60.9 were recorded in 2022 primarily due to the prolonged recovery of
certain theatres from the COVID-19 pandemic, and an impairment of $113.2 million was recorded for our investment in NCM as NCMI’s stock price was significantly below
the Company’s carrying value of NCM per common unit and due to the prolonged recovery of NCM’s business from the COVID-19 pandemic. See Notes 9 and 12 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Restructuring costs. The credit of $(0.5) million to restructuring costs during 2022 was primarily due to adjustments based on final facility lease payments for certain
closed theatres as compared with recorded amounts.
Gain on Disposal of Assets and Other. A gain on disposal of assets and other of $7.7 million was recorded during 2023 compared with a gain of $6.8 million during
2022. Activity for 2023 was primarily related to the sale of our Ecuador subsidiary in September 2023, sale of excess real property, and the write-off of operating lease
obligations for theatres that were closed during 2023. Activity for 2022 was primarily related to the sale of excess land parcels. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements for further discussion of the sale of our Ecuador subsidiary.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for Holdings, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount and amortization of accumulated losses
for swap amendments, decreased to $150.4 million during 2023 compared with $155.3 million for 2022. The interest expense attributable to CUSA, which includes amortization
of debt issue costs and original issue discount and amortization of accumulated losses for swap amendments, was $126.3 million during 2023 compared with $131.2 million for
2022. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to the redemption of $100.0 million in principal amount of the 8.75% Secured Notes during 2023. See further
discussion at Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financing Activities below.
Interest Income. Interest income for Holdings was $55.0 million during 2023 compared with $20.4 million for 2022. The interest income attributable to CUSA was
$43.2 million during 2023 compared with $16.5 million for 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates earned on higher
average cash and cash equivalents balances in 2023.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment and Refinancing. We recorded a loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt of $10.7 million during 2023 related to the amendment of
our Credit Agreement and the partial redemption of the 8.75% Secured Notes, including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and legal and other fees paid. See
further discussion at Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financing Activities below.
Foreign Currency Exchange and Other Related Loss. We recorded a foreign currency exchange and other related loss of $28.8 million during 2023 and $11.5 million
during 2022. Activity for 2023 includes a $12.4 million loss on Blue Chip Swap transactions. Excluding the loss on Blue Chip Swap transactions, the foreign currency
exchange loss is primarily related to currency exchange fluctuations from original transaction dates until cash settlement, See Notes 1 and 16 to the consolidated financial
statements for discussion of foreign currency translation and Blue Chip Swap transactions.
Cash Distributions from DCIP. We recorded cash distributions from DCIP of $3.7 million during 2022. These distributions were in excess of the carrying value of our
investment in DCIP. DCIP ceased operations in 2022.
Equity in Income (Loss) of Affiliates. Equity in income of affiliates of $3.6 million was recorded during 2023 compared with a loss of $9.3 million during 2022. The
equity in income of affiliates for 2023 is due to the ongoing recovery of our equity investees' performance from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the motion picture
exhibition industry. See Notes 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements for information about our equity investments.
Unrealized Gain on Investment in NCMI. We recorded an unrealized gain on our investment in NCMI of $12.4 million during 2023 related to the mark-to-market
adjustment of our investment in NCMI under the fair value basis of accounting. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for information about our investment in
NCMI.
Income Taxes - Holdings. An income tax expense of $29.9 million was recorded for 2023 compared with an income tax expense of $3.0 million for 2022. The effective
tax rate was approximately 13.5% for 2023 compared with
33
(1.1)% for 2022. The effective tax rate for 2023 was favorably impacted by the use of certain foreign tax credits for which valuation allowances had been established in prior
periods as well as the release of valuation allowances previously recorded against the net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for 2022 was
impacted by the establishment of valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets. We have recorded an income tax receivable of $56.7 million at December 31, 2023
and have paid cash taxes of $22.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of income
taxes.
Income Taxes - CUSA. An income tax expense of $28.4 million was recorded for 2023 compared with an income tax benefit of $(13.1) million for 2022. The effective
tax rate was approximately 12.0% for 2023 compared with 5.4% for 2022. The effective tax rate for 2023 was favorably impacted by the use of certain foreign tax credits for
which valuation allowances had been established in prior periods as well as the release of valuation allowances previously recorded against the net deferred tax assets in certain
foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for 2022 was impacted by the establishment of valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets. We have recorded an
income tax receivable of $56.1 million at December 31, 2023 and have paid cash taxes of $22.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 20 to the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion of income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
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
continue to fluctuate based on seasonality, the timing and volume of new film content, the timing of interest payments on our long-term 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 bonuses. We believe our existing cash and expected cash flows
from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, and expected cash requirements from known contractual obligations for the next twelve
months and beyond.
Cash provided by operating activities was $444.3 million for Holdings and $454.8 million for CUSA for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with $136.0
million for Holdings and $153.4 million for CUSA for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the
timing and level of revenue earned during 2023 and the timing of payments to vendors for expenses during 2022 and 2023.
Investing Activities
Investing activities have been principally related to the development, remodel and acquisition of theatres. New theatre openings, remodels and acquisitions historically
have been financed with internally generated cash and by debt financing, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. Cash used for investing activities was
$131.8 million and $96.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to higher
capital expenditures in 2023, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Ecuador subsidiary in September 2023. The increase in capital expenditures in 2023
was due to the continued recovery of our business from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and execution of our capital allocation strategy.
Below is a summary of capital expenditures, disaggregated by new and existing theatres, for the periods indicated (in millions):

(2)We expect approximately $21.2 million and $11.4 million to be paid during 2024 and 2025, respectively. The timing of payments is subject to change as a result of
construction timing or other delays.
Actual expenditures for continued theatre development, remodels and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities. During
the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, we plan to fund capital expenditures for our continued development with cash flow from operations and, if needed,
borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, proceeds from debt issuances, sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities was $125.4 million and $52.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash used for
financing activities was primarily due to the partial redemption of the 8.75% secured notes, partially offset by the net proceeds from the refinancing of the Credit Agreement
during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Holdings, at the discretion of its board of directors and subject to applicable law, may pay dividends on its common stock. The amount, if any, of the dividends to be
paid in the future will depend upon available cash balances, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions as discussed below, future prospects
for earnings and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Holdings suspended its quarterly dividend to its
shareholders.
We may, from time to time, seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt securities through cash purchases or exchanges for other securities, in open market
purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such
35
repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on the availability and prices of such debt securities, prevailing market conditions, or liquidity requirements, contractual
restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Long-term debt for Holdings and CUSA consisted of the following as of December 31, 2022 and 2023 (in millions):
Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2025
Cinemark USA, Inc. term loan due 2030 (see Senior Secured Credit Facility below)

(4)Amounts include both scheduled principal and interest payments on leases commenced prior to December 31, 2023. Amounts do not include approximately $44.8 million of payments under signed lease
agreements which have not commenced and the timing of which cannot be reasonably estimated. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of lease obligations.
(5)Includes estimated capital expenditures associated with the construction of new theatres and other capital expenditures to which we were committed as of December 31, 2023, obligations under
employment agreements, which are our only contractual human capital costs, and contractual purchase commitments.
(6)The long-term portions of Holdings’ and CUSA’s liability for uncertain tax positions of $48.0 million is not included above because we cannot make a reliable estimate of the timing of the related cash
payments. There were no amounts recorded for short-term uncertain tax positions on the consolidated balance sheets of either Holdings or CUSA as of December 31, 2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
4.50% Convertible Senior Notes
On August 21, 2020, Holdings issued $460.0 million of 4.50% convertible senior notes (the "4.50% Convertible Senior Notes"). The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes
will mature on August 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Interest on the notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15,
2021.
Holders of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the
business day immediately preceding May 15, 2025 only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period,
or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of
the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (2) if Holdings distributes to all or substantially all stockholders (i) rights
options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares at a discount to the recent average trading price of its common stock (including due to a stockholder rights plan) or (ii)
Holdings’ assets or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase the same with a per share value exceeding 10% of the trading price of Holdings’ common stock, (3) upon
the occurrence of specified corporate events as described further in the indenture. Beginning May 15, 2025, holders may convert their 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at any
time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, or (4) during any calendar quarter commencing after the
calendar
37
quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Holdings’ common stock for at least 20 trading days during the
period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $18.66 per share (130% of the
initial conversion price of $14.35 per share), on each applicable trading day. Upon conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, Holdings will pay or deliver cash, shares
of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election.
The initial conversion rate is 69.6767 shares of Holdings’ common stock per one thousand dollars principal amount of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The
conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a make-whole fundamental change as defined in the indenture occurs prior to the maturity
date, Holdings will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such make-
whole fundamental change.
The 4.50% Convertible Notes are effectively subordinated to any of Holdings’, or its subsidiaries’, existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such indebtedness, including obligations under the Credit Agreement. The 4.50% Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt
and other liabilities, including trade payables, and including CUSA’s 8.75% Secured Notes due 2025, 5.25% Senior Notes due 2028 and 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026, or,
collectively, CUSA’s senior notes (but excluding all obligations under the Credit Agreement which are guaranteed by Holdings). The 4.50% Convertible Notes rank equally in
right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated debt, including all obligations under the Credit Agreement, which such Credit Agreement is guaranteed by
Holdings, and senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The 4.50% Convertible
Notes are not guaranteed by any of Holdings’ subsidiaries.
Concurrently with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, Holdings entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions, or the Hedge
Transactions, with one or more of the initial purchasers of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes or their respective affiliates, or the Option Counterparties. The Hedge
Transactions cover the number of shares of our common stock that will initially underlie the aggregate amount of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The Hedge Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to
Holdings’ common stock upon any conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments we may be required to make in excess of the principal
amount of converted 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be. Concurrently with entering into the Hedge Transactions, Holdings also entered into separate privately
negotiated warrant transactions with Option Counterparties, or the Warrant Transactions, whereby Holdings sold to Option Counterparties warrants to purchase (subject to the
net share settlement provisions set forth therein) up to the same number of shares of Holdings common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, or the Warrants.
The Warrants could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of Holdings common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants on the
applicable expiration dates unless, subject to the terms of the Warrants, Holdings elects to cash settle the Warrants. The exercise price of the Warrants is initially $22.08 and is
subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the warrants. Holdings received $89.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of Warrants, which were used along with proceeds
from the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, to pay approximately $142.1 million to enter into the Hedge Transactions.
Together, the Hedge Transactions and the Warrants are intended to reduce the potential dilution from the conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The Hedge
Transactions and Warrants are recorded in equity and are not accounted for as derivatives, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On May 26, 2023, CUSA amended and restated its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) to provide for an aggregate principal amount of $775.0
million, consisting of a $650.0 million term loan with a maturity date of May 24, 2030 and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 26, 2028. The
term loan is subject to a springing maturity date of April 15, 2028 if CUSA’s 5.25% Senior Notes due 2028 have not been paid or refinanced as required under the Credit
Agreement prior to such date. The revolving credit facility is subject to springing maturity dates of January 30, 2025, December 14, 2025 and April 15, 2028 if CUSA’s 8.75%
Senior Secured Notes due 2025, 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 and 5.25% Senior Notes due 2028 have not been paid or refinanced as required under the Credit Agreement
prior to such dates, as more specifically described in the Credit Agreement.
38
CUSA used the $632.7 million net proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Agreement to fund the $628.3 million repayment of the term loan outstanding under the
Credit Agreement prior to the amendment and restatement and accrued interest thereon, and for other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2023, there was $645.1
outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings were outstanding under the $125.0 million revolving line of credit.
Under the Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million are due on the term loan through December 31, 2030, with a final principal payment of the
remaining unpaid principal due on May 24, 2030.
The amended term loan was issued net of an original issue discount of $9.8 million. CUSA also incurred a total of approximately $10.1 million in debt issuance costs in
connection with the amendment, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as follows: (i) $7.5 million in debt issuance costs were capitalized and are reflected
as a reduction of “Long-term debt, less current portion” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet; and (ii) $2.1 million of fees paid to lenders and $0.5 million of legal and
other fees are included in “Loss on debt extinguishment and refinancing” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result
of the amendment, CUSA also wrote-off $4.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with exiting lenders of the refinanced Credit Agreement.
Interest on the term loan accrues, at CUSA's option, at either (i) a rate determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") as published by CME
Group Benchmark Administration Limited and identified by Barclay's Bank PLC (the Administrative Agent) as the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a period of 1,
3, or 6 months (depending upon the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) chosen by CUSA) (the "Term SOFR Rate"), subject to a floor of 0.50% per annum,
plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (ii) for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York Rate in effect on such day, plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (c) the Term SOFR Rate for a one month Interest Period, as published two U.S. Government Securities
Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day), plus
1.00% (this clause (ii), the "Alternate Base Rate"), subject in the case of this clause (ii) to a floor of 1.50% per annum, plus, in the case of this clause (ii), an applicable margin
of 2.75%. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023 was approximately 7.1% per annum, after
giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements discussed below.
Interest on revolving credit loans accrues, at CUSA's option, at either (i) the Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 3.00% to 3.50% per annum,
or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate, subject, in the case of this clause (ii) to a floor of 1.00% per annum, plus, in the case of this clause (ii), an applicable margin that ranges from
2.00% to 2.50%. The applicable margin with respect to revolving credit loans is a function of the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit
Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the applicable margin was 3.25%, however, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit. In addition, CUSA
is required to pay a commitment fee on the revolving line of credit that accrues at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.375% per annum of the daily unused portion of the revolving
line of credit. The commitment fee rate is a function of the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and was 0.25% at December 31, 2023.
CUSA’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain subsidiaries of Holdings other than CUSA (the “Other Guarantors”) and are
secured by security interests in substantially all of CUSA’s, Holdings’ and the Other Guarantors’ personal property.
The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of Holdings,
CUSA and their subsidiaries to: merge, consolidate, liquidate, or dissolve; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; create, incur or permit to exist certain indebtedness and
liens; pay dividends, repurchase stock and make other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement); prepay certain indebtedness; make investments; enter into
transactions with affiliates; and change the nature of their business. At any time that CUSA has revolving credit loans outstanding, it is not permitted to allow the Consolidated
Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.5 to 1.0 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2023,
there were no revolving credit loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit, and CUSA’s Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 0.3 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or
warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, a change of control, material money judgments and failure to maintain security interests. If an event of default
occurs, all commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and all obligations under the Credit Agreement could
39
be accelerated by the Lenders, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.
The Restricted Payments covenant, as defined in the Credit Agreement generally does not limit the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make
other Restricted Payments if the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. If the Consolidated Net Total
Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, but not greater than 5.00 to 1.00, Restricted Payments generally may be made in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Available
Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which is a function of CUSA’s Consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its Consolidated Interest Expense (as such terms are
defined in the Credit Agreement) and certain other factors as specified in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio was 2.13
to 1.00 and the Available Amount was $599.1 million. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains other baskets that allow certain Restricted Payments in excess of the
Applicable Amount.
We have three interest rate swap agreements that are used to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rates on the term loan
outstanding under the Credit Agreement. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the interest rate swaps.
5.875% Senior Notes
On March 16, 2021, CUSA issued $405 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026, at par value (the “5.875% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after
payment of fees, were used to fund a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of CUSA’s 5.125% Senior Notes (the “5.125% Senior Notes”) and to redeem any of the 5.125%
Senior Notes that remained outstanding after the tender offer. Interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 5.875% Senior
Notes mature on March 15, 2026. CUSA incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $6.0 million in connection with the issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-
term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
The 5.875% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries that guarantee,
assume or become liable with respect to any of CUSA’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in
right of payment with all of CUSA’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of CUSA’s and its guarantors’ existing and future
senior subordinated debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of CUSA’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the
extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under CUSA’s Credit Agreement. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally
subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of CUSA’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 5.875% Senior Notes.
CUSA may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices set forth in the indenture. Prior to March 15, 2024, CUSA may redeem the 5.875%
Senior Notes in whole or in part at 102.938% of the principal amount plus accrued interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. On or after March 15, 2024,
CUSA may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at 101.469% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes to the date of
redemption. On or after March 15, 2025, CUSA may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on
the 5.875% Senior Notes to the date of redemption.
5.25% Senior Notes
On June 15, 2021, CUSA issued $765 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2028, at par value (the “5.25% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after
payment of fees, were used to redeem all of CUSA’s 4.875% $755 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2023 (the “4.875% Senior Notes”). Interest on the
5.25% Senior Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022. The 5.25% Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2028. CUSA incurred debt
issuance costs of approximately $10.7 million in connection with the issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
The 5.25% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries that guarantee,
assume or become liable with respect to any of CUSA’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.25% Senior Notes and the guarantees will be CUSA’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured
obligations and (i) rank equally in right of payment to CUSA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior debt,
40
including borrowings under CUSA’s Credit Agreement (as defined below) and CUSA’s existing senior notes, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to CUSA’s and the guarantors’
future subordinated debt, (iii) are effectively subordinated to all of CUSA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including all obligations under the Credit
Agreement and CUSA’s 8.75% senior secured notes due 2025, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, (iv) are structurally subordinated to all
existing and future debt and other liabilities of CUSA’s non-guarantor subsidiaries, and (v) are structurally senior to the 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 issued by
Holdings.
Prior to July 15, 2024, CUSA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.25% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.25% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. In addition, prior to July 15, 2024, CUSA may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal
amount of the 5.25% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture, so long as at least 60% of the principal
amount of the 5.25% Senior Notes remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption. On or after July 15, 2024, CUSA may redeem the 5.25% Senior Notes in
whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture.
8.75% Secured Notes
On April 20, 2020, CUSA issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior secured notes due 2025, or the 8.75% Secured Notes. The 8.75% Secured
Notes mature on May 1, 2025. Interest on the 8.75% Secured Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
CUSA may redeem the 8.75% Secured Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. Prior to May 1, 2024, CUSA, Inc. may redeem all or
any part of the 8.75% Senior Notes at its option at 102.188% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 8.75% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. On
or after May 1, 2024, CUSA may redeem the 8.75% Senior Notes in whole or in part at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 8.75% Senior
Notes to the date of redemption.
On May 1, 2023, CUSA redeemed $100.0 million in principal amount of the 8.75% Secured Notes plus accrued interest thereon for $106.6 million in cash. Following
the redemption, $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 8.75% Secured Notes remains outstanding. As a result of the redemption, CUSA recognized a loss on
extinguishment of debt totaling $3.4 million, which includes a $2.2 million premium paid on the redemption of bonds and a $1.2 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance
costs, and is reflected in “Loss on debt extinguishment and refinancing” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The 8.75% Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or in
any other manner become liable with respect to any of CUSA’s or its guarantors’ other debt. If CUSA cannot make payments on the 8.75% Secured Notes when they are due,
CUSA guarantors must make them instead. Under certain circumstances, the guarantees may be released without action by, or the consent of, the holders of the 8.75% Secured
Notes.
The indenture governing the 8.75% Secured Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of CUSA and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make
investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness
and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to,
another person and (6) create liens. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 8.75% Secured Notes, CUSA would be required to make an offer to
repurchase the 8.75% Secured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of
repurchase. The indenture governing the 8.75% Secured Notes allows CUSA to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies a coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after
giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.
Additional Borrowings of International Subsidiaries
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, certain of CUSA’s international subsidiaries borrowed an aggregate of $35.8 million under various local bank
loans. The bank loans outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2023 totaled $10.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively. The remaining bank loan outstanding at December
31,
41
2023 mature in January 2029. The current interest rate on the remaining bank loan outstanding at December 31, 2023 is 4.0%.
Covenant Compliance
The indentures governing the 5.875% Senior Notes, the 5.25% Senior Notes and the 8.75% Secured Notes ("the indentures") contain covenants that limit, among other
things, the ability of CUSA and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or
repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business,
(5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of December 31, 2023, CUSA could have distributed up to
approximately $3,556.8 billion to its parent company and sole stockholder, Holdings, under the terms of the indentures, subject to its available cash and other borrowing
restrictions outlined in the indentures. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indentures, CUSA would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes,
the 5.25% Senior Notes and the 8.75% Secured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through
the date of repurchase. The indentures allow CUSA to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the
incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2023 was
5.5 to 1.
See discussion of dividend restrictions and the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement at Senior Secured Credit Facility above.
As of December 31, 2023, we believe we were in full compliance with all agreements, including related covenants, governing our outstanding debt.
Ratings
We are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies. The rating scales and methodologies used to derive individual ratings may vary from agency to agency. Credit
ratings are issued by credit rating agencies based on evaluations of our ability to pay back our outstanding debt and the likelihood that we would default on that debt prior to its
maturity. The credit ratings issued by the credit rating agencies represent the credit rating agency's evaluation of both qualitative and quantitative information for the Company.
The credit ratings that are issued are based on the credit rating agency’s judgment and experience in determining what information should be considered in giving a rating to a
particular company. Ratings are always subject to change and there can be no assurance that our current ratings will continue for any given period of time. A downgrade of our
debt ratings, depending on the extent, could increase the cost to borrow funds.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their impact on our financial statements.
Seasonality
Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. The most successful motion pictures
have historically been released during summer months in the U.S., extending from May to July, and during the holiday season, extending from November through year-end. In
our Latin American markets, while Hollywood content has similar release dates as in the U.S., the local holidays and seasons vary. The unexpected emergence of a hit film
during other periods or the failure of an expected success at a key time could alter this seasonality trend. The timing, quantity and quality of film releases can have a significant
effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company currently has variable rate debt. An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect its interest expense relating to this variable rate debt. At December
31, 2023, we had an aggregate of $202.1 million of variable rate debt outstanding, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements discussed below. Based on the interest
rates in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2023, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by
approximately $2.0 million.
The tables below provide information about Holdings’ fixed rate and variable rate long-term debt agreements as of December 31, 2023, which includes fixed rate and
variable rate long-term debt of CUSA which is guaranteed by Holdings.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
All of our interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on each of Holdings’ and CUSA’s
consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 14 to the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the interest rate swap agreements.

We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our international operations. Generally, we export from the
U.S. certain of the equipment and interior finish items and other operating supplies used by our international subsidiaries. A majority of the revenues and operating expenses of
our international subsidiaries are transacted in the country’s local currency. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in
which they operate as their functional currency. If our subsidiaries operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP requires that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional
currency for the subsidiary, which could impact future results of operations as reported. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting
exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon our equity ownership in our international subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023, holding
everything else constant, a 10% immediate, simultaneous, unfavorable change in all of the foreign currency
43
exchange rates to which we are exposed, would decrease the aggregate net book value of our investments in our international subsidiaries by approximately $67.0 million and
would decrease the aggregate net income of our international subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2023 by $10.3 million, respectively.
We deemed Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning July 1, 2018. A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative inflation rate of
approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country’s economy is classified as highly inflationary, the financial statements of the foreign entity operating in
that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity. The financial statements of the Company’s Argentina subsidiaries has been remeasured in
U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, effective beginning July 1, 2018.
During 2019, the Argentine government instituted exchange controls restricting the ability of entities and individuals to exchange Argentine pesos for foreign currencies
and to remit foreign currency out of Argentina. As a result of these currency exchange controls, markets in Argentina developed a legal trading mechanism known as the Blue
Chip Swap that allows entities to transfer U.S. dollars out of and into Argentina. In a Blue Chip Swap transaction, an entity buys U.S. dollar denominated securities in Argentina
using Argentine pesos, and subsequently sells the securities for U.S. dollars, in Argentina, to access U.S. dollars locally, or outside Argentina, by transferring the securities
abroad, prior to being sold (the latter commonly known as Blue Chip Swap Rate). The Blue Chip Swap rate is the implicit exchange rate resulting from the Blue Chip Swap
transaction. The Blue Chip Swap rate can diverge significantly from Argentina’s official exchange rate. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into
Blue Chip Swap transactions that resulted in a loss of approximately $12.4 million.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2023, under the supervision and with the participation of Holdings’ and CUSA’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
Holdings and CUSA each carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act of the effectiveness of the design and operation of their respective disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, Holdings’ and CUSA’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, each of Holdings’ and CUSA’s respective disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by each of Holdings and CUSA in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and
communicated to Holdings’ and CUSA’s management, including Holdings’ and CUSA’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in Holdings’ and CUSA’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Holdings’ and
CUSA’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Holdings’ and CUSA’s internal control framework and processes are designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and their respective board of directors regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Holdings’ and CUSA’s consolidated financial statements
44
in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Management has assessed the effectiveness of Holdings’ and CUSA’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013). As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, Holdings’ and CUSA’s internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer for Holdings and CUSA, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the
Exchange Act, are attached as exhibits to this Annual Report. This "Controls and Procedures" section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in
the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, which has direct access to Holdings’ board of directors through its Audit
Committee, have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by Holdings and CUSA. Their reports on the respective consolidated financial statements of Holdings
and CUSA are included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Deloitte & Touche LLP has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls
Management for Holdings and CUSA does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all
errors or fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, within Holdings and CUSA have been detected.
Item 9B. Other Information
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, none of the directors or officers of the Company adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the
purchase or sale of securities of the Company that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act or any “non-Rule 10b5-1
trading arrangement” (as defined in the Exchange Act).
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections
Not Applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion,
the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control
— Integrated Framework (2013)issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company and our report dated February 16, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the related
consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the
related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 16, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Impairment of Domestic Theatre-Level Long-Lived Assets (valuation assertion)—Refer to Notes 1 and 12 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The impairment evaluation of domestic long-lived assets is an assessment that begins with the Company’s monitoring of indicators of impairment on an individual theatre basis,
which the Company believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The Company reviews the domestic long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a
quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company performed the domestic
long-lived asset impairment evaluations each quarter during the year ended December 31, 2023, including a full quantitative impairment assessment for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023. When performing a quantitative impairment assessment, the Company estimates undiscounted cash flows at the theatre level from continuing use through
the remainder of the theatre’s estimated useful life. If the
F-2
estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (the
theatre) with its estimated fair value. The Company applies significant judgment in estimating the fair value of theatres, based on most recent theatre-level cash flows, projected
theatre-level cash flows, and current industry trading multiples. When the estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset
group is written down to its estimated fair value.
We identified the valuation assertion related to the impairment of the domestic long-lived assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgment required by
management to determine estimated undiscounted cash flows and market multiples used to derive fair values. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased
extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s judgements and estimates. In addition, the likelihood of exercising lease
renewal options, could have a significant impact on the amount of any domestic long-lived asset impairment charge.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to management’s undiscounted cash flow analysis, including the likelihood of exercising lease renewal options, include the following, among
others:
•We tested the effectiveness of the Company’s controls over domestic long-lived asset impairment evaluation.
•We tested the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations.
•We evaluated management’s ability to forecast future theatre-level cash flows by:
–Evaluating management’s 2024 forecast of estimated future cash flows (“forecast”) assumptions including, but not limited to, the forecasted performance
driven by expected film releases and projected box office results, market share, and expected theatre-level operating costs.
–Comparing management’s projected domestic cash flow forecasts with:
▪Historical cash flows and results.
▪Historical forecasted cash flow.
▪Assessment of likelihood of exercising lease renewal options through inspection of underlying lease agreements.
▪Forecast information included in analyst reports, as well as industry outlook information.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the domestic market cash flow multiples by testing the source information and the
mathematical accuracy of the calculations. We additionally developed a range of independent estimates compared to those assumptions used by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Cinemark USA, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related
consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the
related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND
CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business — Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is a holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary is Cinemark USA, Inc. (“CUSA”). Holdings consolidates
CUSA and its subsidiaries for financial statement purposes, and CUSA’s operating revenue and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Holdings’ revenue and operating
expenses. As such, the following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate to Holdings and CUSA and their respective consolidated subsidiaries in all material
aspects, unless otherwise noted. Where it is important to distinguish between Holdings and CUSA, specific reference is made to either Holdings or CUSA. Otherwise, all
references to “we”, “our”, “us” and “the Company” relate to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and all references to CUSA relate to CUSA and its
consolidated subsidiaries. We operate in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”) and in 13 countries in Latin America as of
December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries and Cinemark USA, Inc.
and its subsidiaries. Majority-owned subsidiaries that Holdings or CUSA, as applicable, has control of are consolidated while those investments in entities of which
Holdings or CUSA, as applicable, owns between 20% and 50% and does not control, but has significant influence over the investee, are accounted for under the equity
method. Investments in entities of which Holdings or CUSA, as applicable, owns between 20% and 50% and does not control or have significant influence over are
accounted for under the fair value method. If Holdings or CUSA cease to exercise significant influence over an equity investee, the investment is accounted for under the
fair value method. Investments in entities of which Holdings or CUSA, as applicable, owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method. The results of
these subsidiaries and other investees are included in the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and CUSA, as applicable, effective from their date of formation or
from their date of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions, petty cash held at the theatres, highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and restricted cash. The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds, certificates
of deposit, commercial paper or other similar funds.
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable, which are recorded at net realizable value, consist primarily of receivables related to screen advertising, screen rental,
receivables related to gift cards sold to third party retail locations, receivables from landlords related to theatre construction projects, rebates earned from the Company’s
concession vendors and value-added and other non-income tax receivables.
Inventories — Concession inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
Theatre Properties and Equipment — Theatre properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is recorded
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Category
Buildings on owned land
Buildings on leased land
Land and buildings under finance leases
Theatre furniture and equipment
Leasehold improvements
Useful Life
40 years
Lesser of lease term or 40 years
Lease term
3 to 15 years
Lesser of lease term or useful life
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying
amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable (qualitative evaluation). The Company also performs a full quantitative impairment evaluation on an annual basis.

These qualitative and quantitative evaluations are described below:
•Quantitative approach The Company performs a quantitative evaluation at the theatre level using estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through
the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the remaining lease period, which may include the probability of
the exercise of available renewal periods for leased properties, and the lesser of twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life for owned properties. If the
estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset
group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset
group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment, including management’s estimate of future theatre level cash flows for each
theatre is involved in estimating fair value. Fair value is estimated based on a multiple of cash flows. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S.
GAAP fair value hierarchy, as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions
and current industry trading multiples.
•Qualitative approach The Company’s qualitative assessment considers relevant economic and market conditions, industry trading multiples and recent
developments that would impact its estimates of future cash flows as compared to its most recent quantitative impairment assessment.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. which is
the U.S. and each of its international countries that has been allocated goodwill (the Company does not have goodwill recorded for all of its international locations). Under
ASC Topic 350, Goodwill, Intangibles and Other (“ASC Topic 350”), the Company can elect to perform a qualitative or a quantitative impairment assessment of our
goodwill as described below:
•Quantitative approach Under a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, the Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and compares it with its
carrying value. Fair value is estimated using (i) a market approach, which considers a multiple of cash flows for each reporting unit based upon public trading and
recent transaction valuation multiples as the basis for fair value and (ii) an income approach, which uses a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates
commensurate with the risks involved as the basis for fair value. Significant judgment including management’s estimate of future theatre level cash flows for each
theatre is involved in estimating fair value of a reporting unit. The Company’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as
defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on projected operating performance of each reporting unit, recent market transactions and current industry
trading multiples.
•Qualitative approach The Company’s qualitative assessment of goodwill for each reporting unit considers economic and market conditions, industry trading
multiples and the impact of recent developments that would impact the estimated fair values as determined during its most recent quantitative assessment.
Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Under ASC Topic 350, the Company can elect to perform a qualitative or quantitative impairment assessment for our
tradename intangible assets as described below:
•Quantitative approach The Company compares the carrying values of its tradename assets to their estimated fair values. Fair values are estimated by applying an
estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of the tradenames to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such
royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment
is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value
hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends.

Lease Accounting — See Note 4 for discussion of the Company’s lease accounting policies.
Deferred Charges and Other Assets — Deferred charges and other assets consist of construction, lease and other deposits, equipment to be placed in service, and other
assets of a long-term nature.
Self-Insurance Reserves — In the U.S., the Company is self-insured for general liability claims, which are capped at $0.3 per occurrence with no aggregate annual
cap. For its international locations, the Company is fully insured for general liability claims with little or no deductibles per occurrence. Under the Company’s fully-funded
deductible workers compensation insurance plan in the U.S., the Company is responsible for pre-funding claims and is responsible for claims up to $0.3 per occurrence, with
an annual cap of $5.0. The Company is also self-insured for domestic medical and dental claims with a cap of $0.3 per occurrence. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the
Company’s self-insurance reserves were $10.0 and $11.4, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For its
international locations, the Company is fully insured for workers compensation claims. Medical and dental benefits for the Company’s international locations are covered
through a government-sponsored healthcare system that is funded through employee and employer payroll tax contributions.
Revenue Recognition — See Note 5 for discussion of revenue recognition and deferred revenue.
Expenses — Film rental costs are based on the film licensing arrangements and accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either; 1) a sliding scale
formula, which is generally established with the studio prior to the opening of the film, 2) a firm terms formula as negotiated prior to a film's theatrical run or 3) estimates of
the final settlement rate, which occurs at the conclusion of the film’s run. Under a sliding scale formula, the Company pays a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-
determined scale that is based upon box office performance of the film for its full theatrical run. Under a firm terms formula, the Company pays the distributor a percentage of
box office receipts that can either be an aggregate rate for the full theatrical run or rates that decline over the term of the theatrical run. The settlement process allows for
negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film's theatrical run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The
success of a film can generally be determined a few weeks after a film is released when the initial box office performance of the film is known. If actual box office
performance differs from our estimates, film rental costs are adjusted accordingly throughout a film’s theatrical run.
Accounting for Share Based Awards — The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair value of
the award on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value is based on Holdings’ stock price on the grant date. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). At the time of the grant, Holdings also estimates the number of
awards that will ultimately be forfeited. Holdings also periodically estimates the number of awards that will ultimately vest based upon the achievement of pre-established
Company performance targets on those awards that are both performance-based and time-based. A cumulative expense adjustment is recognized when that estimate
changes. See Note 18 for discussion of Holdings’ share based awards and related compensation expense.

Income Taxes — The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. CUSA participates in the consolidated
return of Holdings; however, CUSA’s provisions for income taxes is computed on a stand-alone basis. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial
accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying
amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries
unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax
position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon
examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full
knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine
the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a
liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). The Company accrues
interest and penalties on its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. See further discussion in Note 20.
Segments — For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company managed its business under two reportable operating segments, U.S. markets
and international markets. See Note 22.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translations — The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the
balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated
balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 16 for a summary of the translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for
the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction gains and losses when changes in exchange rates impact
transactions, other than intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, that have been denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.
The Company deemed Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning July 1, 2018. A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative
inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country’s economy is classified as highly inflationary, the financial statements of the
foreign entity operating in that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity. The financial statements of the Company’s Argentina
subsidiaries have been remeasured in U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, effective beginning July 1, 2018. See further discussion
in Note 16.
During 2019, the Argentine government instituted exchange controls restricting the ability of entities and individuals to exchange Argentine pesos for foreign
currencies and to remit foreign currency out of Argentina. As a result of these currency exchange controls, markets in Argentina developed a legal trading mechanism
known as the Blue Chip Swap that allows entities to transfer U.S. dollars out of and into Argentina. In a Blue Chip Swap transaction, an entity buys U.S. dollar denominated
securities in Argentina using Argentine pesos, and subsequently sells the securities for U.S. dollars, in Argentina, to access U.S. dollars locally, or outside Argentina, by
transferring the securities abroad, prior to being sold (the latter commonly known as Blue Chip Swap Rate). The Blue Chip Swap rate is the implicit exchange rate resulting
from the Blue Chip Swap transaction. The Blue Chip Swap rate can diverge significantly from Argentina’s official exchange rate. See further discussion in Note 16.

Fair Value Measurements — According to authoritative guidance, inputs used in fair value measurements fall into three different categories; Level 1, Level 2 and
Level 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement
date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are
unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. See Note 15 for a discussion of our fair value measurements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Interest Rate Swaps – The Company evaluates its interest rate swap agreements, which are designated as cash flow hedges, to determine whether they are effective
on a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are estimated based on future estimated net cash
flows considering forecasted interest rates for the terms of the interest rate swap agreements as compared to the fixed interest rates paid under the agreements. If deemed to
be effective, fair value estimates are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive loss. If the swaps are determined to not be effective, the gains or losses are recorded in interest expense on the consolidated income
statement. See further discussion in Note 14.
Restructuring Charges – During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded restructuring charges based on an approved and announced
restructuring plan, specifically related to headcount reductions, the permanent closure of underperforming theatres and the write-down of related theatre assets. The costs of
the restructuring actions were accrued based on estimates at the time the plan was formalized. Adjustments made to restructuring charges based on actual costs incurred
were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The balance of accrued and unpaid restructuring charges at December 31, 2022 and 2023 was $0. See
further discussion in Note 3.

reference rate reform on financial reporting. More specifically, the amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to
contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain
optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining,
discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments in ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from
December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-
01 are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Company applied the optional relief guidance prospectively to the modification of the reference rate
in its interest rate swap agreements from LIBOR to Term SOFR during the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 14). The application of the guidance did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The purpose of ASU 2023-07 is to improve
reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses to enable investors to better understand an entity’s
overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. In addition, the amendments of ASU 2023-07 enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in
which an entity can disclose multiple measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other
disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting the additional disclosure
requirements of ASU 2023-07.

3.IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented effect on the theatrical exhibition industry. We temporarily closed our theatres in the U.S. and Latin
America during March of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak. We reopened theatres as soon as local restrictions and the status of the COVID-19 pandemic would
allow. All of our domestic and international theatres were reopened by the end of 2021. After reopening our theatres, we faced ongoing challenges with the significant
reduction in the volume of new film releases. The industry has made significant progress in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; however its ongoing recovery
continues to be contingent upon several key factors, including the volume of new film content available, which has also been impacted by the recent writers’ and actors’ guild
strikes, the box office performance of new film content released, the duration of the exclusive theatrical release window, and evolving consumer behavior with competition
from other forms of in-and-out-of-home entertainment.
Government Assistance
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company received an aggregate of approximately $2.8 in government assistance pursuant to (i) payroll
continuation support programs under the CARES Act, (ii) various grants provided in certain states intended to cover janitorial and personal protection equipment costs
incurred by the Company in response to local regulations and (iii) subsidies for certain payroll costs in certain international locations. The Company has met all applicable
conditions related to the government assistance received. The government assistance received was reflected as credits to salaries and wages, utilities and other costs, and
general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of loss.
Restructuring Charges
In 2020, Company management approved and announced a restructuring plan to realign its operations to create a more efficient cost structure (referred to herein as the
“Restructuring Plan”) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Restructuring Plan primarily included a headcount reduction at its domestic corporate office and the
permanent closure of certain domestic and international theatres.

4.LEASE ACCOUNTING
Real Estate Leases — The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and finance leases with
base terms generally ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to fixed lease payments, some of the leases provide for variable lease payments and some require the payment of
taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other costs applicable to the property. Variable lease payments include payments based on a percentage of retail sales or a
percentage of retail sales over defined thresholds. Other variable lease payments include payments adjusted periodically for inflation, changes in attendance or changes in
average ticket price. The Company can renew, at its option, many of its leases at defined or then market rental rates for various renewal periods. Some leases also provide for
escalating rent payments throughout the lease term. The Company also leases certain office and warehouse facilities in the U.S. and in international locations, which generally
only include fixed payments. The Company recognizes fixed lease expense for the operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s real estate lease
agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Equipment Leases — The Company leases certain equipment under operating leases, including trash compactors and various other equipment used in the day-to-day
operation of its theatres. Certain of the leases require fixed lease payments to be made over the duration of the lease term, while others are variable in nature based on usage or
sales. Certain of these leases are month-to-month, while others have noncancelable terms ranging from 1 to 7 years. The Company’s equipment lease agreements do not
contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

The Company rents its theatre auditoriums for corporate meetings, screenings, education and training sessions and other private events. These rentals, which are not
significant to the Company, are generally one-time events and the related revenue is reflected as other revenue on the consolidated statements of income (loss).
5.REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company’s patrons have the option to purchase movie tickets well in advance of a movie showtime, right before the movie showtime, or at any point in between
those two timeframes depending on seat availability. The Company recognizes such admissions revenue when the showtime for a purchased movie ticket has passed.
Concession revenue is recognized when products are sold to the consumer, or if purchased in advance, once the showtime associated with the customer’s movie ticket has
passed. Other revenue primarily consists of screen advertising, screen rental revenue, promotional income, studio trailer placements and transactional fees. Except for NCM
screen advertising advances discussed below in Note 9, these revenues are generally recognized when the Company has fulfilled its performance obligations by providing the
specified services.
The Company sells gift cards and discount ticket vouchers, the proceeds from which are recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue for gift cards and discount
ticket vouchers is recognized when they are redeemed for concession items or, if redeemed for movie tickets, when the showtime has passed. The Company generally records
breakage revenue on gift cards and discount ticket vouchers based on redemption activity and historical experience with unused balances.
The Company offers a subscription program in the U.S. whereby patrons can pay a monthly or annual fee to receive a monthly credit for use towards a future movie
ticket purchase. We also offer monthly subscription fee programs in several of our international locations where customers can pay a monthly fee to receive benefits such as a
free monthly ticket. The Company records the subscription program fees as deferred revenue and records admissions revenue when the showtime for a movie ticket purchased
with a credit has passed.
The Company has loyalty programs in the U.S. and many of its international locations that either have a prepaid annual fee or award points to customers as purchases
are made. For those loyalty programs that have a prepaid annual fee, the Company recognizes the fee collected as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the annual
membership period. For those loyalty programs that award points to customers based on their purchases, the Company records a portion of the original transaction proceeds as
deferred revenue based on the number of reward points issued to customers and recognizes the deferred revenue when the customer redeems such points. The value of loyalty
points issued is based on the estimated fair value of the rewards offered. The Company records breakage revenue generally upon the expiration of loyalty points and
subscription credits as the Company does not yet have sufficient historical data related to the redemption patterns for these programs to estimate breakage.
Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2023 included approximately $22.9 and $31.6, respectively, of receivables related to contracts with customers. The
Company did not record any assets related to the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with customers during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2023.

(1)For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, a weighted average of approximately 1.7 shares, 1.7 shares and 2.1 shares of unvested restricted stock, respectively, are
considered participating securities.
(2)For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, approximately 0.0 and 0.4 common equivalent shares for performance stock units were excluded because they were anti-dilutive.
(3)For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, diluted loss per share excludes the assumed conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes into 32.0 shares of common stock, as
they would have been anti-dilutive. See further discussion below.
(4)For all periods presented, diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes the warrants, as they would be anti-dilutive.
Share-based awards
Holdings considers its unvested share-based payment awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, participating securities, and includes such participating
securities in its computation of earnings (loss) per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings (loss) per share for the two classes of stock (common stock and
unvested restricted stock) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding
during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of
common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method.
Convertible notes, hedges and warrants
The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, discussed further in Note 14, are dilutive in periods in which Holdings has net income. The impact of such dilution on earnings
per share is calculated under the if-converted method, which requires that all of the shares of Holdings’ common stock issuable upon conversion of the 4.50% Convertible
Senior Notes be included in the calculation of diluted EPS assuming conversion at the beginning of the reporting period.
The closing price of Holdings’ common stock did not exceed the strike price of $18.66 per share (130% of the initial exercise price of $14.35 per share) during at least
20 of the last 30 trading days of the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and, therefore, the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes will not be convertible during the first quarter of
2024. The converted value of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, based on the weighted average closing price of
F-28

CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
Holdings’ common stock for 2023, exceeded the aggregate outstanding principal of the notes by $23.3 as of December 31, 2023.
As noted in Note 14, Holdings entered into hedge transactions with counterparties in connection with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The
convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, the number of
shares of Holdings’ common stock underlying the 4.50% Convertible Notes, which initially gives Holdings the option to purchase approximately 32.0 shares of its common
stock at a price of approximately $14.35 per share. Concurrently with entering into the convertible note hedge transactions, Holdings also entered into warrant transactions
with each option counterparty whereby Holdings sold to such option counterparty warrants to purchase, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, up to the same number
of shares of Holdings’ common stock, which initially gives the option counterparties the option to purchase approximately 32.0 shares at a price of approximately $22.08 per
share. The economic effect of these transactions is to effectively raise the strike price of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes from approximately $18.66 per share of
Holdings’ common stock to approximately $22.08 per share.

Sale of Subsidiary
During December 2022, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the stock of its Ecuador subsidiary. The Company completed the sale
in September 2023 and recognized a gain of $6.9, which is reflected in “Loss (gain) on disposal of assets and other” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for
the year ended December 31, 2023. The sale of the Ecuador subsidiary did not qualify as discontinued operations since it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
In addition to the activity in the table above, the Company made de minimus payments to NCM during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023,
respectively, related to certain equipment used for digital advertising, which is included in theatre furniture and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets.
Investment in National CineMedia
On February 13, 2007 NCMI, a holding company that serves as the sole manager of NCM, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock. NCM
comprises approximately the entire balance of NCMI’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In connection with the NCMI initial public offering, the Company amended
its operating agreement and the ESA. At the time of the NCMI IPO and as a result of amending the ESA, the Company received approximately $174.0 in cash consideration
from NCM. The proceeds were recorded as deferred revenue or NCM screen advertising advances, and are being amortized over the term of the Amended and Restated ESA
or through February 2041.
As of January 1, 2023, the Company owned approximately 43.7 common units of NCM, which represented an interest in NCM of approximately 25.4%.
On February 17, 2023, the Company delivered a redemption notice to NCM pursuant to the redemption right under its operating agreement with NCM to redeem
approximately 42.0 of the Company’s 43.7 common units in NCM in exchange for approximately 42.0 newly issued shares of NCMI common stock, with a redemption date
of February 23, 2023 (the “Redemption”). On March 20, 2023, the Company delivered a second redemption notice to NCM to redeem the Company’s remaining 1.7 common
units in NCM in exchange for 1.7 newly issued shares of NCMI common stock, with a redemption date of March 23, 2023 (collectively with the February 23, 2023
redemption, the “Redemptions”). NCMI is a holding company and the sole manager of NCM. NCM comprises approximately the entire balance of NCMI’s assets, liabilities
and operating cash flows.
On April 11, 2023, NCM filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. NCMI continued to manage NCM, the “debtor in
possession,” under the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court and in accordance with the applicable bankruptcy laws and orders of the bankruptcy court. In general, as debtor in
possession under the Bankruptcy Code, NCM was authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of
business without the prior approval of the bankruptcy court.
Due to NCM’s bankruptcy proceedings, the Company reassessed its rights and level of influence over NCM. The Company determined that effective April 11, 2023,
the date NCM filed its bankruptcy petition, it no longer had significant influence over NCM and therefore ceased accounting for its investment in NCMI under the equity
method of accounting in the second quarter of 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, and through April 11, 2023, the Company accounted for its
investment in NCMI under the equity method of accounting, and therefore assessed its investment for other than temporary impairment during those periods. The Company
recorded impairment charges totaling $113.2 and $0.7 on its investment in NCMI/NCM during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, because the share
price of NCMI was significantly below the Company’s carrying value of NCMI per common share and NCM’s pace of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic lagged that of
the Company and the movie theatre industry. See Note 12 for impairment expense recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
On August 3, 2023, NCMI announced that it had effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock. NCMI’s common stock automatically began trading on
a split adjusted basis at the opening of the market on August 4, 2023. After giving effect to the reverse stock split, the Company owns approximately 4.4 shares of NCMI
common stock. NCM emerged from bankruptcy on August 7, 2023, and the Company’s ownership interest in NCMI was reduced to less than 5%. The Company now
accounts for its investment in NCMI in accordance with the guidance set forth in FASB ASC Topic 321 Investments - Equity Securities, which requires the Company to
measure its investment in common stock of NCMI at fair value and recognize unrealized holding gains and losses on its investment in earnings. The Company recognized an
unrealized gain of $12.4 on its investment in NCMI in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Common Unit Adjustments
In addition to the consideration received upon the NCMI IPO and ESA modification in 2007, the Company also periodically receives consideration in the form of
common units from NCM. Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, annual adjustments to the
common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by the Company.
The common units received are recorded at estimated fair value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue or NCM screen
advertising advances. Through April 11, 2023, the Company’s investment was accounted for under the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to its
investment included as a component of earnings in equity in income of affiliates or recorded as a reduction of its investment basis depending on the tranche of common units it
was related to.
During March 2023, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation,
the Company was entitled to an additional 4.8 common units of NCM. The issuance of these additional common units of NCM was stayed by NCM’s bankruptcy filing on
April 11, 2023. In June 2023 the bankruptcy court issued an order cancelling the issuance of these common units of NCM and found that these common units were never
issued.
Below is a summary of common units received by the Company under the Common Unit Adjustment (“CUA”) Agreement during the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2022:

(1) The fair value of the common units received was estimated based on the market price of NCMI common stock (Level 1 input as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820) at the
time the common units were determined, adjusted for volatility associated with the estimated time period it would take to convert the common units and register the
respective shares.
Exhibitor Services Agreement
As previously discussed, the Company’s domestic theatres are part of the in-theatre digital network operated by NCM, the terms of which are defined in the ESA.
NCM primarily provides advertising to its theatres through its branded “Noovie” pre-show entertainment program. The Company receives a monthly theatre access fee for
participation in the NCM network. Effective September 17, 2019, the Company signed an amendment to the ESA, under which the Company provided incremental
advertising time to NCM, and extended the term through February 2041. At the time of the amendment, the Company determined that the amended ESA met the definition of
a lease under ASC Topic 842. The Company leases nonconsecutive periods of use of its domestic theatre screens to NCM for purposes of showing third party advertising
content. The lease, which is classified as an operating lease, generally requires variable lease payments based on the number of patrons attending the showtimes during which
such advertising is shown. The lease agreement is considered short-term due to the fact that the nonconsecutive periods of use, or advertising time slots, are set on a weekly
basis. The revenues earned under the ESA are reflected in other revenue on the consolidated income statements.
The recognition of revenue related to the NCM screen advertising advances is recorded on a straight-line basis over the new term of the amended ESA through
February 2041.

Significant Financing Component
As noted above, the Company received approximately $174.0 in cash consideration from NCM at the time of NCMI’s IPO and also periodically receives consideration
in the form of common units (discussed at Common Unit

CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
Adjustments above) from NCM in exchange for exclusive access to the Company’s newly opened domestic screens under the ESA. Due to the significant length of time
between receiving the consideration from NCM and fulfillment of the related performance obligation, the ESA includes an implied significant financing component, as per
the guidance in ASC Topic 606. The interest expense was calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time the cash and each tranche of common units
were received from NCM, which ranged from 4.4% to 8.3%. Effective September 17, 2019, upon the Company’s evaluation and determination that ASC Topic 842 applies to
the amended ESA, the Company determined it acceptable to apply the significant financing component guidance from ASC Topic 606 by analogy as the economic substance
of the agreement represents a financing arrangement.

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes
On August 21, 2020, Holdings issued $460.0 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “4.50% Convertible Senior Notes”). The
4.50% Convertible Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with the indenture. Interest on the 4.50% Convertible
Senior Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year.
Holders of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the
business day immediately preceding May 15, 2025 only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day
period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the
product of the last reported sale price of Holdings’ common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (2) if Holdings distributes to all or substantially all
stockholders (i) rights options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares at a discount to the recent average trading price of Holdings’ common stock (including due to a
stockholder rights plan) or (ii) Holdings’ assets or securities or rights, options or
F-38

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
warrants to purchase the same with a per share value exceeding 10% of the trading price of Holdings’ stock, (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as
described further in the indenture, or (4) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar
quarter), if the last reported sale price of Holdings’ common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day
of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $18.66 per share (130% of the initial conversion price of $14.35 per share), on each applicable
trading day. Beginning May 15, 2025, holders may convert their 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading
day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, Holdings will pay or deliver cash, shares of Holdings’ common
stock or a combination of cash and shares of Holdings’ common stock, at Holdings’ election.
The initial conversion rate is 69.6767 shares of Holdings’ common stock per one thousand dollars principal amount of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The
conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a make-whole fundamental change as defined in the indenture governing the 4.50%
Convertible Senior Notes occurs prior to the maturity date, Holdings will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 4.50%
Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any of Holdings’, or its subsidiaries’, existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of
the assets securing such indebtedness, including obligations under the Credit Agreement. The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and
future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables, and including CUSA’s 5.125% Senior Notes, 4.875% Senior Notes and the 8.75% Secured Notes,
or, collectively, CUSA’s senior notes (but excluding all obligations under the Credit Agreement which are guaranteed by Holdings). The 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes rank
equally in right of payment with all of Holdings’ existing and future unsubordinated debt, including all obligations under the Credit Agreement, which such Credit Agreement
is guaranteed by Holdings, and senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The
4.50% Convertible Notes are not guaranteed by any of Holdings’ subsidiaries.
Concurrently with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, Holdings entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Hedge
Transactions”) with one or more of the initial purchasers of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes or their respective affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”). The Hedge
Transactions cover the number of shares of Holdings’ common stock that will initially underlie the aggregate amount of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, subject to anti-
dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The Hedge Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential
dilution to Holdings’ common stock upon any conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments Holdings may be required to make in excess
of the principal amount of converted 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be. Concurrently with entering into the Hedge Transactions, Holdings also entered into
separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with Option Counterparties whereby it sold to Option Counterparties warrants to purchase (subject to the net share
settlement provisions set forth therein) up to the same number of shares of Holdings’ common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments (the “Warrant
Transactions”). The warrants could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of Holdings’ common stock exceeds the strike price of the
warrants on the applicable expiration dates unless, subject to the terms of the warrants, Holdings elects to cash settle the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is initially
$22.08 and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the warrants. Holdings received $89.4 in cash proceeds from the Warrant Transactions, which were used along
with proceeds from the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, to pay approximately $142.1 to enter into the Hedge Transactions.
Together, the Hedge Transactions and the Warrants are intended to reduce the potential dilution from the conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The
Hedge Transactions and Warrants are recorded in equity and are not accounted for as derivatives, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On May 26, 2023, CUSA amended and restated its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) to provide for an aggregate principal amount of $775.0,
consisting of a $650.0 term loan with a maturity date of May 24, 2030 and a $125.0 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 26, 2028. The term loan is subject to
a springing maturity date of April 15, 2028 if CUSA’s 5.25% Senior Notes due 2028 have not been paid or refinanced as required

under the Credit Agreement prior to such date. The revolving credit facility is subject to springing maturity dates of January 30, 2025, December 14, 2025 and April 15, 2028
if CUSA’s 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 and 5.25% Senior Notes due 2028 have not been paid or refinanced as required under the
Credit Agreement prior to such dates, as more specifically described in the Credit Agreement.
CUSA used the $632.7 net proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Agreement to fund the $628.3 repayment of the term loan outstanding under the Credit
Agreement prior to the amendment and restatement and accrued interest thereon, and for other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2023, there was $645.1
outstanding under the term loan.
Under the Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1.6 are due on the term loan through December 31, 2030, with a final principal payment of the
remaining unpaid principal due on May 24, 2030.
The amended term loan was issued net of an original issue discount of $9.8. CUSA also incurred a total of approximately $10.1 in debt issuance costs in connection
with the amendment, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as follows: (i) $7.5 in debt issuance costs were capitalized and are reflected as a reduction of
“Long-term debt, less current portion” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet; and (ii) $2.1 of fees paid to lenders and $0.5 of legal and other fees are included in
“Loss on debt extinguishment and refinancing” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of the amendment,
CUSA also wrote-off $4.7 of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with exiting lenders of the refinanced Credit Agreement.
Interest on the term loan accrues, at CUSA's option, at either (i) a rate determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") as published by CME
Group Benchmark Administration Limited and identified by Barclay's Bank PLC (the Administrative Agent) as the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a period of
1, 3, or 6 months (depending upon the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) chosen by CUSA) (the "Term SOFR Rate"), subject to a floor of 0.50% per annum,
plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (ii) for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York Rate in effect on such day, plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (c) the Term SOFR Rate for a one month Interest Period, as published two U.S. Government Securities
Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day), plus
1.00% (this clause (ii), the "Alternate Base Rate"), subject in the case of this clause (ii) to a floor of 1.50% per annum, plus, in the case of this clause (ii), an applicable margin
of 2.75%. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023 was approximately 7.1% per annum, after
giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements discussed below.
Interest on revolving credit loans accrues, at CUSA's option, at either (i) the Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 3.00% to 3.50% per annum,
or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate, subject, in the case of this clause (ii) to a floor of 1.00% per annum, plus, in the case of this clause (ii), an applicable margin that ranges from
2.00% to 2.50%. The applicable margin with respect to revolving credit loans is a function of the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit
Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the applicable margin was 3.25%, however, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit. In addition,
CUSA is required to pay a commitment fee on the revolving line of credit that accrues at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.375% per annum of the daily unused portion of the
revolving line of credit. The commitment fee rate is a function of the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and was 0.25% at December 31, 2023.
CUSA’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain subsidiaries of Holdings other than CUSA (the “Other Guarantors”) and are
secured by security interests in substantially all of CUSA’s, Holdings’ and the Other Guarantors’ personal property.
The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of
Holdings, CUSA and their subsidiaries to: merge, consolidate, liquidate, or dissolve; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; create, incur or permit to exist certain
indebtedness and liens; pay dividends, repurchase stock and make other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement); prepay certain indebtedness; make
investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and change the nature of their business. At any time that CUSA has revolving credit loans outstanding, it is not permitted to
allow the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.5 to 1.0 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter.
As of December 31, 2023, there were no revolving credit loans outstanding under the revolving line of credit, and CUSA’s Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
was 0.3 to 1.0.

The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or
warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, a change of control, material money judgments and failure to maintain security interests. If an event of default
occurs, all commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and all obligations under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated by the Lenders, causing all loans
outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.
The Restricted Payments covenant, as defined in the Credit Agreement generally does not limit the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make
other Restricted Payments if the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. If the Consolidated Net
Total Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, but not greater than 5.00 to 1.00, Restricted Payments generally may be made in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
Available Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which is a function of CUSA’s Consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its Consolidated Interest Expense (as such
terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) and certain other factors as specified in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage
Ratio was 2.13 to 1.00 and the Available Amount was $599.1. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains other baskets that allow certain Restricted Payments in excess of the
Applicable Amount.
5.875% Senior Notes
On March 16, 2021, CUSA issued $405.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026, at par value (the “5.875% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after
payment of fees, were used to fund a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of CUSA’s 5.125% Senior Notes (the “5.125% Senior Notes”) and to redeem any of the 5.125%
Senior Notes that remained outstanding after the tender offer. See further discussion of the tender offer below. Interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes is payable on March 15
and September 15 of each year. The 5.875% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2026. CUSA incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $6.0 in connection with the
issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.
The 5.875% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries that guarantee,
assume or become liable with respect to any of CUSA’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally
in right of payment with all of CUSA’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior debt and are senior in right of payment to all of CUSA’s and its guarantors’ existing and
future senior subordinated debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of CUSA’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt
to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under CUSA’s Credit Agreement. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are
structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of CUSA’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 5.875% Senior Notes.
The indenture to the 5.875% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of CUSA and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make
investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness
and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to,
another person and (6) create liens. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, CUSA would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes at
a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the
5.875% Senior Notes allows CUSA to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the
additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.
Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture.
5.25% Senior Notes
On June 15, 2021, CUSA issued $765.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2028, at par value (the “5.25% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after payment
of fees, were used to redeem all of CUSA’s 4.875% $755.0 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2023 (the “4.875% Senior Notes”). Interest on the 5.25% Senior
Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022. The 5.25% Senior Notes mature

consolidated balance sheet.
The 5.25% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries that guarantee,
assume or become liable with respect to any of CUSA’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.25% Senior Notes and the guarantees will be CUSA’s and the guarantors’ senior
unsecured obligations and (i) rank equally in right of payment to CUSA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior debt, including borrowings under CUSA’s Credit
Agreement (as defined below) and CUSA’s existing senior notes, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to CUSA’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt, (iii) are
effectively subordinated to all of CUSA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including all obligations under the Credit Agreement and CUSA’s 8.75%
senior secured notes due 2025, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, (iv) are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and
other liabilities of CUSA’s non-guarantor subsidiaries, and (v) are structurally senior to the 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 issued by Holdings.
The indenture to the 5.25% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of CUSA and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments
or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue
preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another

equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 5.25%
Senior Notes allows CUSA to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional
indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.
Prior to July 15, 2024, CUSA may redeem all or any part of the 5.25% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.25% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. On or after July 15, 2024, CUSA may redeem the 5.25% Senior Notes in whole or in part at
redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to July 15, 2024, CUSA may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% Senior Notes
from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture, so long as at least 60% of the principal amount of the 5.25% Senior Notes
remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption.
8.75% Secured Notes
On April 20, 2020, CUSA issued $250.0 in aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “8.75% Secured Notes”). The 8.75% Secured
Notes mature on May 1, 2025. Interest on the 8.75% Secured Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
CUSA may redeem the 8.75% Secured Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. Prior to May 1, 2024, CUSA, Inc. may redeem all or
any part of the 8.75% Senior Notes at its option at 102.188% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 8.75% Senior Notes to the date of redemption.

$150.0 in aggregate principal amount of the 8.75% Secured Notes remains outstanding. As a result of the redemption, CUSA recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt
totaling $3.4, which includes a $2.2 premium paid on the redemption of bonds and a $1.2 write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, and is reflected in “Loss on debt
extinguishment and refinancing” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The 8.75% Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or in
any other manner become liable with respect to any of CUSA’s or its guarantors’ other debt. If CUSA cannot make payments on the 8.75% Secured Notes when they are due,
CUSA’s guarantors must make them instead. Under certain circumstances, the guarantees may be released without action by, or the consent of, the holders of the 8.75%
Secured Notes.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Effective May 31, 2023, in conjunction with the amendment of its Credit Agreement, the Company amended its three then existing interest rate swap agreements to
update the reference rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR, and the Company applied the optional relief provided in FASB ASC Topic 848 prospectively to account for this
modification. Topic 848 provides optional expedients that allow an entity not to dedesignate an existing hedging relationship when critical terms of the agreement are
modified, but rather allow an existing hedging relationship to continue when one or more of the critical terms in the existing hedging agreement change because of reference
rate reform. Therefore, the Company did not dedesignate the hedging relationship due to the amendment of its existing interest rate swap agreements on May 31, 2023, and
accumulated losses due to the fair value adjustments on the interest rate swaps remained in other comprehensive income.
Effective November 30, 2023, the Company amended and extended its then existing $175.0 notional amount interest rate swap agreement to extend the maturity date
to December 31, 2026. Upon amending the interest rate swap agreement effective November 30, 2023, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged with the
agreement are still probable to occur, therefore the gain that accumulated on the swap prior to the amendment of $5.1 is being amortized to interest expense through December
31, 2024, the original maturity date of the swap.
Approximately $4.5, $4.5 and $(6.4) was recorded in amortization of accumulated losses (gains) for amended swaps in the consolidated income statement for the years
ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as
a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period
that the hedged items affect earnings. The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach and under this approach, the Company uses projected
future interest rates as provided by counterparty to the interest rate swap agreement and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under the agreement. Therefore,
the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35.

15.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability
is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:
Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;
Level 2 – other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

The Company also uses the market and income approach for fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets
(see Note 1 and Note 12). Additionally, the Company uses the market approach to estimate the fair value of its long-term debt (see Note 14). There were no changes in
valuation techniques during the period. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
16.FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in Holdings’ stockholders’ equity of $353.2 and $363.9 and CUSA’s stockholder’s equity of $356.3 and $366.7,
each at December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, each primarily includes cumulative foreign currency net losses of $389.8 and $384.9, at December 31, 2022 and 2023,
from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries and the cumulative changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements that are
designated as hedges.
As of December 31, 2023, all foreign countries where the Company has operations are non-highly inflationary, other than Argentina. In non-highly inflationary
countries, the local currency is the same as the functional currency and any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded
to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company deemed Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning July 1, 2018. A highly inflationary economy is defined as an
economy with a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country’s economy is classified as highly inflationary, the
financial statements of the foreign entity operating in that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity. The financial information of the
Company’s Argentina subsidiaries has been remeasured in U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, effective beginning July 1, 2018.
During 2019, the Argentine government instituted exchange controls restricting the ability of entities and individuals to exchange Argentine pesos for foreign
currencies and to remit foreign currency out of Argentina. As a result of these currency exchange controls, markets in Argentina developed a legal trading mechanism known
as the Blue Chip Swap that allows entities to transfer U.S. dollars out of and into Argentina. In a Blue Chip Swap transaction, an entity buys U.S. dollar denominated
securities in Argentina using Argentine pesos, and subsequently sells the securities for U.S. dollars, in Argentina, to access U.S. dollars locally, or outside of Argentina, by
transferring the securities abroad, prior to being sold (the latter commonly known as Blue Chip Swap Rate). The Blue Chip Swap rate is the implicit exchange rate resulting
from the Blue Chip Swap transaction. The Blue Chip Swap rate can diverge significantly from Argentina’s official exchange rate. During the year ended December 31, 2023,
the Company entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions that resulted in a loss of approximately $12.4 which is reflected in “Foreign currency exchange and other related loss”
in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

18.CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - Holdings
Common stockholders are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Holdings’ stockholders. Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding
shares of Holdings’ preferred stock, Holdings’ common stockholders are entitled to dividends declared by Holdings’ board of directors. The shares of the Holdings’ common
stock are not subject to any redemption provisions. Holdings has no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Holdings’ ability to pay dividends is effectively limited by its status as a holding company and the terms of CUSA’s indentures and senior secured credit facility,
which also significantly restricts the ability of certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries to pay dividends directly or indirectly to Holdings. See Note 14 for discussion of restrictions
contained within the debt agreements of CUSA.

Common and Preferred Stock - CUSA
CUSA has 1.5 shares (in thousands) of Class A common stock and 182.6 shares (in thousands) of Class B common stock outstanding, all of which are held by
Holdings. Holders of Class A common stock have exclusive voting rights. Holders of Class B common stock have no voting rights except upon any proposed amendments to
the articles of incorporation. However, they may convert their Class B common stock, at their option, to Class A common stock. In the event of any liquidation, holders of the
Class A and Class B common stock will be entitled to their pro-rata share of assets remaining after any holders of preferred stock have received their preferential amounts
based on their respective shares held.
CUSA has 1.0 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized with none issued or outstanding. The rights and preferences of preferred stock will be determined
by the CUSA Board of Directors at the time of issuance.
CUSA’s ability to pay dividends is effectively limited by the terms of its indentures and its senior secured credit facility, which also significantly restricts the ability of
certain of CUSA’s subsidiaries to pay dividends directly or indirectly to it. See Note 14 for a discussion of restrictions contained within CUSA’s debt agreements.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Holdings granted 1.4 shares of its restricted stock to certain CUSA employees and to Holdings’ directors. The fair value of
the restricted stock granted was determined based on the market value of the Holdings’ common stock on the grant dates, which ranged from $11.19 to $19.07 per share for
the 2023 grants. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 10% for the restricted stock awards granted in 2023. The restricted stock granted to employees
vests over periods ranging from one to three years based on continued service. The recipients of restricted stock are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends and to vote
their respective shares, however, the sale and transfer of the restricted stock is prohibited during the restriction period.

Performance Stock Units
Holdings granted performance awards in the form of performance stock units (“PSUs”), formerly referred to as restricted stock units, in 2020, 2022 and 2023. Based
upon the terms of the award agreements, the performance stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service.
The financial performance factors for the performance stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity and vest on a prorata basis
according to the performance level achieved by the Company during the performance period against the performance goals. At the time of the performance stock unit grants,
the Company assumes the financial performance target will be reached for the defined measurement period in determining the amount of compensation expense to record for
such grants. If and when additional information becomes available to indicate that something other than the target level will be achieved, the Company adjusts compensation
expense on a prospective basis over the remaining service period.
Grantees of performance stock units are eligible to receive a ratable portion of the common stock issuable if the achievement of the performance goals is within the
targets previously noted. All performance stock units granted will be paid in the form of Holdings’ common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the
third anniversary of the respective grant date. Performance stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend

equivalent payments from the grant date to the extent declared by Holdings if, and at the time, the performance stock unit awards vest.
2023 awards - During the year ended December 31, 2023, Holdings granted performance awards in the form of performance stock units. Each PSU that vests will
result in the issuance of one share of Holdings’ common stock. The maximum number of shares issuable under the performance awards granted during 2023 is approximately
1.5 shares of Holdings' common stock. The grant date fair value for the units issued was determined based on the closing price of Holdings' common stock on the date of
grant, which was $11.68 per share. The performance metrics for these performance awards are based upon cumulative three-year Adjusted EBITDA and consolidated cash
flows, and payout levels are determined based upon the achievement of pre-established criteria for these metrics as defined in the award agreement. Based upon the terms of
the award agreement, PSUs vest based on a combination of performance factors and continued service. The performance measurement period for the PSUs is three years,
January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 and the service period ends on February 20, 2026. Below is a summary of the performance metrics and measurement period for
these performance awards:

2022 awards - During the year ended December 31, 2022, Holdings granted performance awards in the form of performance stock units. The maximum number of
shares issuable under the performance awards granted during 2022 is 0.8 shares of Holdings’ common stock. The grant date fair value for the units issued during the year
ended December 31, 2022 was determined based on the closing price of Holdings’ common stock on the date of grant, which was $16.65 per share. The financial performance
metrics are based upon the achievement of pre-established criteria for revenue and consolidated cash flows as defined in the award agreement. Based upon the terms of the
award agreement, PSUs vest based on a combination of performance factors and continued service. The performance measurement period for the financial performance
metrics is one year, and there is an additional two-year service requirement.
2021 awards -There were no performance stock awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the
Compensation Committee of Holdings’ Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance metric used
for the performance stock unit awards granted during 2019 and 2020 and determined that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted Holdings’ ability to meet the
performance metric. The Compensation Committee made a discretionary decision to certify the vest of the 2019 and 2020 performance stock unit awards at target based upon
the unforeseen, external circumstances that were beyond management’s control, the projected macroeconomic conditions through 2021 and beyond, and the uncertain timing
as to the recovery of the Company’s industry. The requirement to satisfy the applicable service period under the performance stock unit awards was not changed. In addition,
the Compensation Committee determined that it would not be appropriate to issue performance awards during 2021 due to the aforementioned macroeconomic conditions and
industry recovery. In lieu of performance stock units, the Compensation Committee granted restricted stock with a four-year vest period.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company will not indefinitely reinvest $2.0 of accumulated undistributed losses of its Curacao subsidiary. As of December 31, 2023,
the Company had approximately $157.6 of accumulated undistributed earnings and profits which it considers to be indefinitely reinvested. Of this indefinitely reinvested
amount, approximately $159.3 was subject to the one-time transition tax pursuant to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Additional tax due on the repatriation of these
previously-taxed earnings would generally be foreign withholding and U.S. state income taxes. The Company does not intend to repatriate these offshore earnings and profits,
and therefore has not recorded any deferred taxes on such earnings. The Company considers any excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of its
investment in these foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. At this time, the determination of deferred tax liabilities on this amount is not practicable.

Federal net operating losses and interest expense limitation carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period. Foreign net operating losses have varying
carryforward periods with some being indefinite. Similarly, state net operating losses have varying carryforward periods with some being indefinite. Foreign tax credits have a
10 year carryforward period. A majority of the Company’s foreign tax credit carryforwards expire in 2026 and 2027, with the remainder expiring in future periods.
The Company assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets against future sources of taxable income and reduces the carrying amounts of
deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance, if, based on all available evidence, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such assets
will not be realized. As of the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company remained in a three-year cumulative pre-tax loss domestically and in certain foreign jurisdictions.
This is heavily weighted as objectively verifiable negative evidence and, as a result, the Company is unable to include future projected earnings in assessing the recoverability
of its deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions.
The Company has established a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets for which the ultimate realization of future benefits is uncertain. Expiring
carryforwards and the required valuation allowances are adjusted annually. After application of the valuation allowances described above, the Company anticipates that no
limitations will apply with respect to utilization of any of the other deferred tax assets described above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
The Company’s valuation allowance changed from $326.1 as of December 31, 2022 to $266.3 as of December 31, 2023. CUSA’s valuation allowance changed from
$283.2 as of December 31, 2022 to $218.5 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease primarily relates to a release of valuation allowances previously recorded against certain
expiring foreign tax credits and foreign loss carryforwards, as well as net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. The remaining valuation allowance associated
with these deferred tax assets is primarily a result of not having sufficient income from deferred tax liability reversals in future periods to support the realization of the
deferred tax assets. When the Company begins to generate taxable income at a normal level, the Company expects to reverse the valuation allowances with an offsetting
increase to reported earnings. There is a possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to reach a conclusion that a portion of
the valuation allowance in certain foreign jurisdictions will no longer be required.
Holdings’ valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, which includes CUSA’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and CUSA’s valuation for deferred tax
assets, for the periods presented were as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except per share data)
tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Holdings and CUSA had $8.5 and
$11.1 accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax
benefits may be reduced by an amount up to $35.9 within the next 12 months as a result of resolution of examination with taxing authorities.
The Company prepares and files income tax returns based upon its interpretation of tax laws and regulations and record estimates based upon these judgments and
interpretations. In the normal course of business, the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in
future tax and interest assessments by these taxing authorities. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax contingencies due to changes in tax law resulting from
legislation, regulation, and/or as concluded through the various jurisdictions' tax court systems. Significant judgment is exercised in applying complex tax laws and
regulations across multiple global jurisdictions where we conduct our operations. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based
upon the technical merits of the position.
The Company is no longer subject to income tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2018. The Company is no longer subject to state income
tax examinations by tax authorities in its major state jurisdictions for years before 2019. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax
authorities in its major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions for years before 2008.
The Company is currently under IRS audit for tax years 2019 and 2020 and is under audit in the non-U.S. tax jurisdiction of Brazil.
21.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment Agreements — As of December 31, 2023, the Company had employment agreements with Sean Gamble, Melissa Thomas, Valmir Fernandes and
Michael Cavalier. These employment agreements are subject to automatic extensions for a one year period, unless the employment agreements are terminated. The base
salaries stipulated in the employment agreements are subject to review at least annually during the term of the agreements for increase (but not decrease) by the Company’s
Compensation Committee. Management personnel subject to these employment agreements are eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses upon the Company meeting
certain performance targets established by the Compensation Committee.
Retirement Savings Plan — The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan (“401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of all eligible U.S. based employees and makes
discretionary matching contributions as determined annually in accordance with the 401(k) Plan. Employer matching contribution payments of $5.7 and $6.4 were made
during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. A liability of approximately $0.9 was recorded as of December 31, 2023 for employer contribution
payments to be made in 2024 for the remaining amounts owed for plan year 2023.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims,
employment matters, patent claims, landlord-tenant disputes, contractual disputes with landlords over certain termination rights or the right to discontinue rent payments due
to the COVID-19 pandemic and other contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings
currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al vs Factory Mutual Insurance Company. The Company filed suit on November 18, 2020, in the District Court, 471st Judicial District,
Collin County, Texas. On December 22, 2020, the case was moved to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. The Company submitted a
claim under its property insurance policy issued by Factory Mutual Insurance Company (the “FM Policy”) for losses sustained as a result of the closure of the Company’s
theatres due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Factory Mutual Insurance Company (“FM”) denied the Company’s claim. The Company is seeking damages resulting from FM’s
breach of contract, FM’s bad faith conduct and a declaration of the parties’ rights under the FM Policy. The Company

cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. The District Court granted FM’s motion for summary judgment. The Company has appealed the District Court’s decision.
Lakeenya Neal, et al v. Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al. This class action lawsuit was filed against the Company on December 10, 2021, in the Central District of Los
Angeles County Superior Court of the State of California alleging certain violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed this
case.
Gerardo Rodriguez, individually and on behalf of a class of all others similarly situated vs Cinemark USA, Inc. and Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al. This class action
lawsuit was filed against the Company on February 24, 2023 in the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois alleging violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act.
The Company firmly maintains that the allegations are without merit and will vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this
litigation.
National CineMedia LLC Bankruptcy. On June 3, 2023, NCM filed an Emergency Motion for Entry of an Order (1) approving and Authorizing Debtor to Enter into
and Perform Under (a) the Termination and Settlement Agreement and (b) the Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement with Regal Cinemas, Inc. (the “9019 Motion”). The
9019 Motion requested an order, among other things, that the most favored nations clause (the “MFN”) in Cinemark’s Exhibitor Services Agreement was not triggered by the
Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement with Regal Cinemas, Inc. On June 14, 2023, Cinemark filed an objection to the 9019 Motion. On June 26, 2023, the bankruptcy
court entered a confirmation order, which among other things, approves NCM’s assumption of Cinemark’s Exhibitor Services Agreement but fails to preserve or recognize
Cinemark’s rights under the MFN with respect to the Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement. Cinemark has appealed the confirmation order in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this appeal.
22.SEGMENTS - HOLDINGS
The international market and U.S. market are managed as separate reportable operating segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil,
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Company closed its one theatre in Curacao
in January 2023 and sold the shares of its Ecuador subsidiary in September 2023. See Note 8 for a discussion of the sale of our Ecuador subsidiary. Each segment’s revenue is
derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenue. Holdings uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, as the primary
measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Company does not report total assets by segment because that information is not
used to evaluate the performance or allocate resources between segments.

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC.
CLAWBACK POLICY
Exhibit 97.1
Introduction
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to reinforce our culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces the Company's pay-for-performance compensation
philosophy. The Board has therefore adopted this policy which provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation in the event of an
accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws (the "Policy").
This Policy is designed to comply with and shall be interpreted to be consistent with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”) and Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed
Company Manual or the standards of any other national securities exchange on which the Company's securities are listed (the “Listing Standards”).
Administration
This Policy shall be administered by the Board or, if so designated by the Board, the Compensation Committee (the “Administrator”), in which case
references herein to the Board or Administrator shall be deemed references to the Compensation Committee. The Administrator is authorized to interpret
and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of this Policy. Any determinations
made by the Administrator, shall be final and binding on all affected individuals and need not be uniform with respect to each individual
covered by the Policy. In the administration of this Policy, the Administrator is authorized and directed to consult with the full Board or such
other committees of the Board, such as the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee, as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters
within the scope of such other committee’s responsibility and authority. Subject to any limitation at applicable law, the Administrator may
authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose
and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).
Covered Employee
This Policy applies to the Company's current and former executive officers, as determined by the Administrator in accordance with the
Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1, and the Listing Standards, and such other senior executives or employees who may from time to time be deemed
subject to the Policy by the Administrator in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer in connection with
the annual incentive award process ("Covered Employees").
Recoupment; Accounting Restatement
In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company's material
noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Administrator will require reimbursement or forfeiture
of any excess Incentive Compensation received by any Covered Employee during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the
date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, as well as any transition period (that results from a change in the
Company’s fiscal
year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period that comprises a period of at least nine
months shall count as a completed fiscal year). The “date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement” is the
earlier to occur of (a) the date the Board or appropriate committee of the Board concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the
Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement or (b) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the
Company to prepare an accounting restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are filed. This Policy
applies to Incentive Compensation received by a Covered Employee (a) after beginning services as a Covered Employee; (b) if that person
served as a Covered Employee at any time during the performance period for such Incentive-Based Compensation; and (c) while the Company
had a listed class of securities on a national securities exchange.
Incentive Compensation
For purposes of this Policy, Incentive Compensation means any of the following; provided that, such compensation is granted, earned, or
vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure:
•Annual bonuses and other short- and long-term cash incentives
•Stock options
•Stock appreciation rights
•Restricted stock
•Restricted stock units
•Performance shares
•Performance units
Financial reporting measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Company stock price
•Total shareholder return
•Revenues
•Net income
•Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
•Adjusted EBITDA
November 16, 2023
•Funds from operations
•Liquidity measures such as working capital, operating cash flow, or free cash flow
•Return measures such as return on invested capital, return on assets or internal rate of return
•Earnings measures such as earnings per share
Excess Incentive Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery
The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the Incentive Compensation received by the Covered Employee based on the erroneous data
over the Incentive Compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Employee had it been based on the restated results, as determined
by the Board. Incentive Compensation is “received” for purposes of this Policy in the Company’s fiscal period during which the financial
reporting measure specified in the Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive Compensation
occurs after the end of that period.
If the Board cannot determine the amount of excess Incentive Compensation received by the Covered Employee directly from the information
in the accounting restatement, then it will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement.
For example, for Incentive Compensation based on stock price or Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”): (a) the Administrator shall determine the
amount of excess Incentive Compensation based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement on the stock price or TSR
upon which the Incentive Compensation was received; and (b) the Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of that
reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Method of Recoupment
The Administrator will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping Incentive Compensation hereunder which may include,
without limitation:
(a) requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive Compensation previously paid;
(b) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards;
(c) offsetting the recouped amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered Employee;
(d) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and/or
(e) taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Board.
November 16, 2023
No Indemnification
Notwithstanding the terms of any indemnification or insurance policy or any contractual arrangement with any Covered Employee that may be
interpreted to the contrary, the Company shall not indemnify any Covered Employees against the loss of any incorrectly awarded Incentive
Compensation, including any payment or reimbursement for the cost of third-party insurance purchased by any Covered Employee to fund
potential clawback obligations under this Policy.
Interpretation
The Administrator is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the
administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange
Act, Rule 10D-1 and the Listing Standards. Any members of the Administrator, and any other members of the Board or any officers or
employees of the Company who assist in the administration of this Policy, shall not be personally liable for any action, determination or
interpretation made with respect to this Policy and shall be fully indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and
Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence shall not limit any other rights to
indemnification of the members of the Administrator, the Board, or officers or employees who assist the Administrator under applicable law or
Company policy.
Effective Date
This Policy shall be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date") and shall apply to Incentive Compensation that is
approved, awarded or granted to Covered Employees on or after that date, but not later than the effective date of the Listing Standards.
Amendment; Termination
The Board may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to reflect regulations
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and to comply with any rules or standards
adopted by a national securities exchange on which the Company's securities are listed. The Board may terminate this Policy at any time.
Other Recoupment Rights
The Board intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Board may require that any employment agreement,
equity award agreement, or similar agreement entered into on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit
thereunder, require a Covered Employee to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any similar
policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.
Nothing contained in this Policy, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated by this Policy, shall limit any claims, damages or other legal
remedies
November 16, 2023
the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Covered Employee arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the
Covered Employee.
Impracticability
The Board shall recover any excess Incentive Compensation in accordance with this Policy unless such recovery would be impracticable, as
determined by the Board in accordance with Rule 10D1 of the Exchange Act and the Listing Standards.
Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Employees and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other
legal representatives.
Exhibit Filing Requirement
A copy of this Policy and any amendments thereto shall be posted on the Company’s website and filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K.
November 16, 2023
Acknowledgment
I, the undersigned, agree and acknowledge that I am fully bound by, and subject to, all of the terms and conditions of the Cinemark Holdings,
Inc. Clawback Policy (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Policy”). In the event of any
inconsistency between the Policy and the terms of any employment agreement to which I am a party, or the terms of any compensation plan,
program or agreement under which any compensation has been granted, awarded, earned or paid, the terms of the Policy shall govern. In the
event it is determined by the Administrator that any amounts granted, awarded, earned or paid to me must be forfeited or reimbursed to the
Company, I will promptly take any action necessary to effectuate such forfeiture and/or reimbursement. Any capitalized terms used in this
Acknowledgment without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Policy.
