Reason for Comment:

Cinemark announced their first quarter results in early May.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to $779.6 million compared to
the $704.9 million, which is a 10.6% increase.
Attendance increased 2.5%. Ticket prices reached $6.41 which is an increase of 6.7%. Also,
concession revenues per customer increased to $3.61, which is another increase of about 10%.
March 31, 2017, Cinemark operated 525 theatres with 5,984 screens. Have plans and
commitments to open 7 new theatres with 63 screens for 2017 and 12 new theatres with 106
screens for 2018.
Nancy Loewe elected to the board of directors, she is filling the position of Don Soderquist. She
brings a new perspective, along with extensive knowledge in strategy, and international
operations.

Risks & Challenges:

Sustainable yet not always predictable revenues due to never knowing how films will perform at
the box office. Low box office numbers have hurt theaters in the past.
The constant uncertainty with emerging markets and their economy,
Potential for slowing growth across the theatre sector to continue. Will put pressure on the
companies to create new ways to attract customers.
