"During the second quarter, we showed operating leverage, delivering strong growth in net earnings, which translated to operating cash flow growth in the period. Our bottom line financials reflected expanding margins and continued cost controls," stated Richard L. Gelfond, Chief Executive Officer of IMAX Corporation. "We also made strides in the quarter with respect to key 2014 initiatives, including expanding the network, developing our world-class laser projection system and testing new marketing strategies, which we believe will help further position us to take full advantage of the potentially very strong film slates in 2015 and 2016."

Network Growth Update

The total IMAX® theater network consisted of 868 systems as of June 30, 2014, of which 735 were in commercial multiplexes. There were 419 theaters in backlog as of June 30, 2014, compared to 284 in backlog as of June 30, 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company signed contracts for 24 theaters, of which 20 were for new locations and 4 were for upgrades. In the quarter, the Company installed 34 IMAX theater systems, 30 of which were for new theater locations and 12 of which were installed in China. For a breakdown of theater system signings, installations, network and backlog by type, please see the end of this press release.

"The IMAX network has grown significantly in China over the past several years, from just 9 theaters in 2008 to over 160 today, and just this week we announced another deal for 19 theaters in China with Shanghai Film Company," Gelfond continued. "Couple this with stellar box office performances from films such as Transformers 4, which has become our biggest grossing film ever in China, and I believe it is clear how strong our business and brand have become in China. It is with this in mind that we announced earlier in the quarter the strategic investment by two Chinese investors for 20% of our IMAX China business, which we believe can help us further grow that business and unlock significant value for our IMAX shareholders."

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures:


    In this release, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to
     Common Shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share as supplemental measures of
     performance of the Company, which are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The
     Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders
     and adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share because it believes that they are important
     supplemental measures of its comparable controllable operating performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully
     understand the impact of its variable share-based compensation, provision for arbitration award and deferred taxes on its net
     income. Management uses these measures to review operating performance on a comparable basis from period to period. However,
     these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA
     attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders and adjusted net income
     attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net


    The Credit Facility provides that the Company will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the
     Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.1:1. The Company will also be required to maintain minimum EBITDA (as defined in the
     Credit Agreement) of $90.0 million on December 31, 2014, which requirement increases to $100.0 million on December 31, 2015.
     The Company must also maintain a Maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.00:1 on December 31,
     2014, which requirement decreases to 1.75:1 on December 31, 2015. The ratio of total debt to EBITDA was nil:1 as at June 30,
     2014, where Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures
     or similar instruments and was $nil. EBITDA is calculated as follows:

    Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Per Share Calculations - Quarter Ended June 30, 2014 vs. 2013:

    The Company reported net income attributable to Common Shareholders of $13.3 million or $0.19 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $11.8 million or $0.18 per basic share and $0.17 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013.
     Net income attributable to Common Shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 includes a $4.7 million charge, or $0.07 per diluted share, for stock-based compensation (2013 - $3.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share). Adjusted net income attributable to Common
     Shareholders, which consists of net income attributable to Common Shareholders excluding stock-based compensation expense and the related tax impact, was $17.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, as compared to adjusted net income
     attributable to Common Shareholders of $15.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. A reconciliation of net income attributable to Common Shareholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to adjusted net income attributable

    Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Per Share Calculations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 vs. 2013:

    The Company reported net income attributable to Common Shareholders of $13.9 million or $0.21 per basic share and $0.20 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $14.7 million or $0.22 per basic share and $0.21 per diluted share for the six
     months ended June 30, 2013. Net income attributable to Common Shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes a $7.9 million charge, or $0.11 per diluted share, for stock-based compensation (2013 - $5.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share). Adjusted net income
     attributable to Common Shareholders, which consists of net income attributable to Common Shareholders excluding stock-based compensation expense and the related tax expense, was $20.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to
     adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders of $20.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. A reconciliation of net income attributable to Common Shareholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to adjusted net
     income attributable to Common Shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share is presented in the table below:

    Free Cash Flow:

    Free cash flow is defined as cash
     provided by operating activities
     minus cash used in investing
     activities (from the consolidated
     statements of cash flows). Cash
     provided by operating activities
     consist of net income, plus
     depreciation and amortization,
     plus the change in deferred
     income taxes, plus other non-
     cash items, plus changes in
     working capital, less investment
     in film assets, plus other
     changes in operating assets and
     liabilities. Cash used in
     investing activities includes
     capital expenditures,
     acquisitions and other cash used
     in investing activities.
     Management views free cash flow,
     a non-GAAP measure, as a measure
     of the Company's after-tax cash
     flow available to reduce debt,
     add to cash balances, and fund
     other financing activities. A
     reconciliation of cash provided
     by operating activities to free
     cash flow is presented in the
     table below:
