National CineMedia, Inc. Reports Results for Fiscal First Quarter 2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Revenue of $34.0 million and profitability within expectations<\/i><\/p>\n

Company implements operational transformation targeting $11.0 million in annualized cost savings<\/i><\/p>\n

CENTENNIAL, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nNational CineMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCMI) (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cNCM\u201d), the managing member of National CineMedia, LLC (NCM LLC), the operator of the largest cinema advertising platform in the U.S., announced today its consolidated results for the fiscal first quarter ended April 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cNCM delivered first quarter results within our guidance range as we continued to advance our strategy to better monetize the growing theatrical audience,\u201d said Tom Lesinski, Chief Executive Officer of National CineMedia, Inc. \u201cOur teams navigated typical first quarter seasonality and Olympic-related competition while driving advertiser demand for NCM\u2019s premium audiences, scaled inventory and data-driven capabilities. We also implemented a meaningful operational transformation that is expected to generate $11.0 million in annualized cost savings, supported by AI-driven efficiencies that are making our organization more productive. As we look ahead, the compelling 2026 film slate, healthy advertiser demand and a more agile organization further position NCM to capture incremental demand and drive long-term value for our partners and shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q1 2026 Results<\/b><\/p>\n

\nTotal revenue for the first quarter ended April 2, 2026 decreased 2.6% to $34.0 million as compared to $34.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. Operating loss increased to $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 from operating loss of $23.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. Net loss decreased to $28.6 million, or $0.31 net loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 from net loss of $30.7 million, or $0.32 net loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted OIBDA, a non-GAAP measure, was negative $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to negative $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, as adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation costs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in Regal’s Chapter 11 case (the \u201cCineworld Proceeding\u201d) and NCM LLC’s Chapter 11 case (\u201cChapter 11 Case\u201d), each as previously reported and described in the Company\u2019s public filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d). As adjusted to exclude the aforementioned items and loss on remeasurement of the payable to ESA Parties under the tax receivable agreement, net loss per diluted share for the quarter ended April 2, 2026 is $0.23 compared to net loss per diluted share for the quarter ended March 27, 2025 of $0.24. Adjusted OIBDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP measures. See the tables at the end of this release for the reconciliations to the closest GAAP basis measurements.<\/p>\n

Operational Transformation<\/b><\/p>\n

\nDuring the first quarter of 2026, the Company implemented an operational transformation to accelerate the adoption of AI, streamline its organizational structure and enhance efficiencies. The program is targeting approximately $11.0 million in annualized cost savings on a run rate basis, measured against proforma full year 2025 SG&A expenses adjusted to include a full year of combined operations with Spotlight. Of this total, the Company has realized approximately $3.0 million in savings to date and expects to realize up to $6.0 million in savings in 2026, creating capacity to continue investing in its highest-return priorities.<\/p>\n

Dividend<\/b><\/p>\n

\nOn May 12, 2026, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share (approximately $2.8 million) on each share of the Company\u2019s common stock to stockholders of record on May 22, 2026 to be paid on June 4, 2026.<\/p>\n

Q2 2026 Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n

\nFor the second quarter of 2026, NCM LLC expects to earn total revenue of $57.0 million to $63.0 million and Adjusted OIBDA in the range of $1.0 million to $5.0 million.<\/p>\n

Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAdjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (\u201cAdjusted OIBDA\u201d) and Adjusted OIBDA margin are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP in the United States.<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization expense adjusted to also exclude non-cash share-based compensation costs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and the Chapter 11 Case. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate operating performance, to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes this is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it eliminates items that have less bearing on its operating performance and highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company\u2019s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company\u2019s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company\u2019s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies, non-cash share-based compensation programs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and Chapter 11 Case, interest rates, debt levels or income tax rates.<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted OIBDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate operating performance, to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes this is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it eliminates items that have less bearing on its operating performance and highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company\u2019s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company\u2019s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company\u2019s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies, non-cash share-based compensation programs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and Chapter 11 Case, interest rates, debt levels or income tax rates.<\/p>\n

\nA limitation of both of these measures, however, is that they exclude depreciation and amortization, which represent a proxy for the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in NCM LLC\u2019s business. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin have the limitation of not reflecting the effect of the Company\u2019s non-cash share-based compensation costs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and the Chapter 11 Case. Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income, net income or as indicators of operating performance, nor should it be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted OIBDA, and operating margin is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted OIBDA margin. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, or calculations in NCM LLC\u2019s debt agreement.<\/p>\n

\nThe Company has not provided a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted OIBDA measure to forward-looking GAAP operating income due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company\u2019s control on certain items, including the timing of revenue and charges reflected in our reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant and are difficult to reasonably predict. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.<\/p>\n

\nThe following table reconciles the Company’s operating loss and operating margin to Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin for the periods presented (dollars in millions):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Adjusted Net Loss and Net Loss per Share<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAdjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are calculated using reported net loss and net loss per share and exclude workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs, advisor fees related to the Cineworld Proceeding and the Chapter 11 case and loss on re-measurement of the payable to ESA Parties under the tax receivable agreement. Our management use these non-GAAP financial measures as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to a method used by the Company\u2019s management and helps improve their ability to understand the Company\u2019s operating performance. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share should not be regarded as alternatives to net loss and net loss per share or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
