  • 6 filing risk checks flagged

    Flagged areas: Earnings quality, Solvency & liquidity, Dilution.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +2.1% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Operating margin improved

    Operating margin changed +93.3 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2021-12-31.

  • Free cash flow turned positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $71M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2021-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

17. Commitments and Contingencies 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 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 Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair value · 1,722 characters as filed

12. Fair Value Measurements The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with 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 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. Below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Income taxes · 1,863 characters as filed

18. Income Taxes The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA makes permanent certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restores favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including 100 % bonus depreciation and the business interest expense limitation. The OBBBA also includes adjustments to the calculation of certain international framework provisions, which were initially established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Companys effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company is currently under IRS audit for tax years 2019 and 2020. On June 11, 2025, the IRS issued a revised Revenue Agent Report (RAR) proposing an income tax adjustment related to positions reported in each year. The balance sheet impact related to the tax years under audit, which includes a refund held in suspense, is estimated to be $ 65.0 before interest and penalties. The Company firmly disagrees with the conclusions presented by the IRS and believes the positions reported on its tax returns that have not been reserved for are more likely than not to prevail on technical merits. The Company intends to vigorously defend its reported positions through the applicable IRS administrative and judicial procedures, as appropriate. The Company regularly assesses

Revenue recognition · 7,993 characters as filed

4. Revenue Recognition The Companys 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 at the theater, or if purchased online in advance, either through the Companys website, its mobile application, or through a third-party delivery service, once the consumers order is fulfilled. Other revenue primarily consists of screen advertising, screen rental revenue, gaming revenue, promotional income, studio trailer placements and transactional fees. Except for National CineMedia, LLC (NCM) screen advertising advances discussed in Note 8, these revenues are generally recognized when the Company has fulfilled its performance obligations by providing the services specified in each contract. 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 movie showtime has passed. The Company generally records breakage revenue on unredeemed gift cards and discount ticket vouchers based on redemption activity and historical experience associated with unuse

Segment reporting · 6,129 characters as filed

15. Segments - Holdings The international market and U.S. market are managed as separate reportable 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. Each segments revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenue. Holdings uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the tables below, as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Companys chief operating decision makers are the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer (together the CODM). The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA for each segment in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers actual Adjusted EBITDA with comparisons to budget, forecast and trends when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of each segment and in determining the incentive compensation under its short-term incentive plan and evaluating performance metrics for certain equity awards. The Company does not report total assets by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of, or allocate resources between, segments. The following tables set forth a breakdown of selected financial information by reportable segment for Holdings for the periods presented, and incl
