Reuters<\/a>. Analyst consensus revenue estimates had pegged sales at $1.47 billion, according to Reuters, citing data from LSEG. <\/p>\nAMC shares surged 16.5% before the opening bell on Monday. <\/p>\n
The quarter featured six separate films that each surpassed $75 million at the domestic box office in their opening weekends, the company said. AMC’s U.S. theaters drew 12% more visitors than in the same period a year ago, and its European locations saw attendance grow by approximately 18%. <\/p>\n
Total domestic revenues grew 13% year over year, outpacing the broader domestic box office, which rose 10.7% to approximately $2.99 billion \u2014 the largest box office quarter in seven years, the company said. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded from 13.6% in the same period last year to 20.1% in the second quarter. <\/p>\n
For the first six months of 2026, AMC’s revenues are up 16.9% compared with the same period a year earlier, the company said. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of the year reached $359.7 million, up from $131.8 million in the first half of 2025. <\/p>\n
AMC CEO Adam Aron attributed the results to a combination of the company’s market position, premium offerings, marketing, and cost controls. “Finally, after some admittedly tough years as our industry recovered only slowly from the ravages of COVID-19 and its aftermath, the relentless focus of AMC on delighting our guests as we execute with all cylinders blazing is reflected in our record-setting second quarter financial results,” Aron said in a statement. <\/p>\n
During the quarter, AMC refinanced $400 million of debt, extending maturities by four years, raised approximately $285 million through equity offerings, and eliminated or initiated the elimination of approximately $282 million of debt, the company said. The actions are expected to reduce annual cash interest expense by $16 million. A reduction in leverage ratios is also expected to trigger a lower interest rate on roughly 75% of AMC’s debt, cutting annual interest expense by an additional $51 million, assuming current leverage and benchmark rates hold, AMC said. The company said it has no expected debt maturities until 2029. <\/p>\n
AMC is the largest movie theater operator in the United States and globally, with approximately 850 theaters and 9,500 screens worldwide, the company said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
