(i) Period over Period change calculated based on thousands of dollars
except percentage and per share/unit values.
(ii) Cineplex's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
were negatively impacted by changes in income tax expense due to
Cineplex's conversion to a Corporation on January 1, 2011. Also
impacting net income is the impact of the fair value of financial
instruments that affected net income in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 for items that are no longer fair valued in 2011.
"Cineplex delivered another quarter of solid results with total revenues up 6.6% and adjusted EBITDA up 7.2% versus the second quarter last year," said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex Entertainment. "Excluding share-based compensation, adjusted EBITDA grew by 15.7% compared to the second quarter of last year. All three revenue areas generated growth during the quarter - box office revenues increased 5.2% to $151.1 million; concession revenues increased 5.5% to $76.2 million; and other revenues increased 17.0% to $31.1 million. Net income decreased $8.8 million to $13.4 million primarily as a result of three items totalling $15.9 million. These included a $9.3 million increase in income tax expense and a $4.4 million change in the fair value of financial instrument items related to the company's conversion to a corporation on January 1, 2011, in addition to a $2.2 million share of loss of joint ventures related to the start-up of the Canadian Digital Cinema Partnership ("CDCP"). On a YTD basis, adjusted EBITDA of $75.6 million is on track with last year's second quarter YTD of $76.1 million, which included the tremendous success of Avatar."
"Other achievements during the second quarter included the completion of financing for CDCP, enabling us to complete the deployment of digital projectors throughout the balance of our circuit by the end of 2012," said Jacob. "Cineplex Media continued to grow during the quarter increasing revenue by 16.2%, primarily due to increased contributions from Cineplex Digital Solutions. SCENE, our entertainment loyalty program, reached the 3 million member milestone in early July, continuing to exceed our expectations. Our concession business continued to grow with CPP increasing from $4.36 to $4.44, representing a new quarterly record. We added five new UltraAVX auditoriums bringing our total UltraAVX locations to 22, and we also acquired New Way Sales Games Ltd., one of our games suppliers for $3.3 million. We are very pleased with the results and continue to have strong growth from all of our business areas."
EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow and distributable cash are not measures recognized by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and do not have standardized meanings in accordance with such principles. Therefore, EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow and distributable cash may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income, income tax expense, amortization and interest expense net of interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for gains and losses on disposal of assets, the change in fair value of financial instruments and the share of loss of the Canadian Digital Cinema Partnership ("CDCP"). Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure generally used by Canadian corporations, as an indicator of financial performance and it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Distributable cash is a non-GAAP measure generally used in Canadian open-ended trusts, as an indicator of financial performance and it should not be seen as a measure of liquidity or a substitute for comparable metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow and distributable cash to evaluate performance primarily because of the significant effect certain unusual or non-recurring charges and other items have on EBITDA from period to period. For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and from cash used in operating activities to adjusted free cash flow and distributable cash, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on www.sedar.com.
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
Cineplex has commenced reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") with the release of its first quarter 2011 results. Subject to certain transitional elections disclosed in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, Cineplex has consistently applied the same accounting policies under IFRS in its opening IFRS balance sheet at January 1, 2010 and throughout all periods presented, as if these accounting policies under IFRS had always been in effect.
In addition to the disclosure in the notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we have provided a summary of the quarterly results under IFRS in the tables following.

for the period from April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011 as compared to the period
from April 2, 2010 to July 1, 2010. On a basis consistent with Cineplex's
calendar reporting period (April 1 to June 30), the Canadian industry box
office increase is estimated to be 3.2%. The Motion Picture Theatre
Associations of Canada ("MPTAC") reported that the Canadian exhibition
industry reported a box office decrease of 8.3% for the period from December
31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 as compared to the period from January 1, 2010 to
July 1, 2010. On a basis consistent with Cineplex's calendar reporting
period (January 1 to June 30), the Canadian industry box office decrease is
estimated to be substantially the same amount.

Box office revenues increased $7.5 million, or 5.2%, to $151.1 million during the second quarter of 2011, compared to $143.6 million recorded in the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to a 3.8% increase in attendance, mainly due to the success of the latest installments in several strong film franchises. The top three films during the second quarter of 2011 are the latest sequels in successful franchises.
BPP increased $0.12, from $8.68 in the second quarter of 2010 to $8.80 in the same period in 2011 due to premium-priced product (3D, UltraAVX and IMAX) accounting for 26.8% of box office revenues in the current quarter, up from 25.9% in the prior year period. Film product during the second quarter of 2011 catered to mature audiences more than the product in the prior year period, contributing to the BPP increase. The increase in the percentage of box office revenues from premium priced product was due to the 22 UltraAVX installations which began on June 30, 2010 and continued through the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by slightly lower 3D and IMAX revenues compared to the prior year period, due to two films in the top five during the second quarter of 2011 not being screened in either IMAX or 3D (The Hangover 2 and Bridesmaids), whereas all of the top five films in the prior year period were screened in 3D with four of those films screened in IMAX.
Cineplex's investment in digital and 3D technology over the last three years has positioned it to take advantage of the price premiums offered on 3D product. This investment in 3D technology, as well as other premium-priced technology such as UltraAVX, contributed to Cineplex outperforming the Canadian industry during the second quarter.

Box office revenues for the first six months of 2011 were $281.1 million or 7.0% lower than the prior year period. The 2010 period included Avatar which became the highest grossing film of all-time, and accounted for 13.9%, or $42.0 million of Cineplex's box office revenue in the prior year period, compared to 4.8%, or $13.5 million, for Cineplex's top grossing film during the current period, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The tough comparator to Avatar during the first quarter was partially offset by the higher box office revenues recorded in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.
BPP for the first six months of 2011 decreased $0.12, from $8.78 in 2010 to $8.66 in the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenues from premium-priced product. Premium-priced offerings accounted for 30.1% of the Fund's box office revenue in the 2010 period, compared to 24.9% in the current period. All five of the top five films in 2010 were screened in IMAX, and four of those were screened in 3D (2011 - three of the top five in IMAX and two in 3D).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Quarter
Concession revenues increased 5.5% as compared to the prior year quarter, due to the 3.8% increase in attendance and the 1.8% increase in CPP. CPP increased from $4.36 in the second quarter of 2010 to $4.44 in the same period in 2011, and represents a quarterly record for Cineplex. Cineplex believes that revised concession offerings as well as process improvements designed to increase the speed of service that were implemented throughout 2010 contributed to this increased CPP period over period.
While the 10% SCENE discount has a negative impact on CPP, Cineplex believes that this program drives incremental visits and concession purchases, resulting in higher overall concession revenues.
Year to Date
Concession revenues decreased 3.5% as compared to the prior year period, due to the 5.7% decrease in attendance, offset by the 2.3% increase in CPP. CPP increased from $4.26 in the first six months of 2010 to $4.36 in the same period in 2011. This represents the highest CPP Cineplex has recorded through the first six months of a given year.
Other revenues
The following table highlights the movement in media, games and other revenues for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other revenues Second Quarter Year to Date
-----------------------------------------------------
2011 2010 Change 2011 2010 Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Media $ 22,446 $ 19,324 16.2% $ 40,385 $ 33,498 20.6%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 31,063 $ 26,559 17.0% $ 57,345 $ 48,652 17.9%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other revenues increased 17.0% from $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $31.1 million in the same period in 2011. Media revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $22.4 million, up $3.1 million, or 16.2%, from the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to higher CDM revenues ($2.8 million). During the second quarter of 2011, CDM includes the results of CDS which was acquired during the third quarter of 2010 and is therefore not included in the prior period comparative.
The games revenue increase is primarily due to the acquisition of NWS in May 2011 ($0.4 million) and therefore is not included in the prior year comparative. The addition of XSCAPE Entertainment Centres at SilverCity CrossIron Mills Cinemas in Calgary, Alberta, which opened on June 30, 2010, and SilverCity Oakville Cinemas in Oakville, Ontario, which opened in March 2011 also contributed to this increase. The increase in Other is primarily due to higher breakage revenues associated with increased sales of gift cards and coupons.
Year to Date
Other revenues increased 17.9% from $48.7 million in the first six months of 2010 to $57.3 million during the same period in 2011. Media revenues for the first six months of 2011 were up $6.9 million, or 20.6%, from the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher CDM revenues ($4.0 million) as well as higher full motion and digital pre-show revenues ($3.8 million). The increase in games revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of NWS in May 2011 and the addition of the two new XSCAPE centres. The increase in the other category is primarily due to higher breakage revenues associated with increased sales of gift cards and coupons.
Film cost
The following table highlights the movement in film cost and film cost as a percentage of box office revenue ("film cost percentage") for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except film cost percentage):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Film cost
percentage 52.8% 54.3% 51.7% 54.4%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Quarter
Film cost varies primarily with box office revenue, and can vary from quarter to quarter based on the relative strength of the titles exhibited during the period. The increase in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year period was due to the increase in attendance, partially offset by the 1.5% decrease in film cost percentage. The decrease in film cost percentage is primarily due to the settlement rate on certain strong performing titles during the second quarter of 2011 being lower than the average film settlement rate.
Year to Date
The year to date decrease in film cost was due to the 7.0% decrease in box office revenues and the 2.7% decrease in film cost percentage during the period. The decrease in the film cost percentage as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to the settlement rate on certain strong performing titles during the 2010 period being higher than the average settlement rate.
Cost of concessions

Concession
margin per
patron $ 3.49 $ 3.46 0.9% $ 3.44 $ 3.33 3.3%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Quarter
Cost of concessions varies primarily with theatre attendance as well as the quantity and mix of concession offerings sold. The increase in concession cost as compared to the prior year period was due to the 5.5% increase in concession revenues and the 0.6% increase in concession cost percentage. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.46 in the second quarter of 2010 to $3.49 in the same period in 2011, reflecting the impact of the higher CPP during the period.
Year to Date
The decrease in concession cost during the period was due to the 3.5% decrease in concession revenues and the 0.5% decrease in the concession cost percentage. Changes in Cineplex's reduced price Tuesday program resulted in a decrease in concession cost percentage, partially offset by the impact of issuing SCENE points on concession combos which began in June 2011.
Depreciation and amortization
The following table highlights the movement in depreciation and amortization expenses during the quarter and year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amortization expenses Second Quarter Year to Date

2011 2010 Change 2011 2010 Change

Amortization of

Amortization expenses
as reported $ 17,318 $ 19,716 -12.2% $ 34,690 $ 39,593 -12.4%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds of $1.9 million primarily relates to certain valuation adjustments that arose as part of Cineplex's acquisition of the Partnership becoming fully amortized subsequent the second quarter of 2010. The transfer of digital projection equipment to CDCP during June 2011 also contributed to the decrease in amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds. The $0.5 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets and other was due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the second quarter of 2010. The year to date decreases of $3.1 million for the amortization of property equipment and leaseholds and $1.8 million decrease for intangible assets are primarily due to the fully amortized assets discussed above.
(Gain) loss on disposal of assets

(Gain) loss on

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Quarter
The gain on disposal of assets represents the gain recorded on the sale of a theatre during the three months ended June 30, 2011 ($1.4 million) and a nominal gain recorded on the transfer of digital projection assets to CDCP. These gains were partially offset by the loss on assets that were sold or otherwise disposed of, including the loss recognized on the write off of the net book value of the portion or component of existing equipment that is replaced or improved, with the replacement or improved asset being recorded as a new asset. Disposal of assets resulted in a loss of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2010.
Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, disposal of assets resulted in a gain of $0.5 million, comprised of the gain on the sale of the theatre and transfer of assets to CDCP described above, net of losses recorded on assets that were sold or otherwise disposed of. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, disposal of assets resulted in a loss of $1.5 million.
Other costs
Other costs include three main sub-categories of expenses, including theatre occupancy expenses, which capture the rent and associated occupancy costs for Cineplex's various operations; other operating expenses, which include the costs related to running Cineplex's theatres; and general and administrative expenses, which includes costs related to managing Cineplex's operations, including the head office expenses.

Second Quarter
Theatre occupancy expenses increased $0.8 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the net impact of new and disposed theatres ($0.5 million) and higher same-store rent expense ($0.4 million).
Year to Date
The increase in theatre occupancy expenses of $1.8 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to the prior year period was due to the net impact of new and disposed theatres ($1.2 million) and higher same-store rent expenses ($0.4 million).

Second Quarter
Other operating expenses increased $5.0 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of higher business volumes in the 2011 period. Media cost of sales increased $1.7 million, primarily due to the acquisition of CDS during July 2010, as CDS expenses are included in the second quarter of 2011 and not included in the comparative period. Higher same store payroll costs of $1.2 million also contributed to the increase, due to higher business volumes at the theatres as well as the impact of minimum wage increases implemented throughout 2010. Total theatre payroll accounted for 46.2% of total other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 47.3% in the prior year period. The net impact of new and disposed theatres contributed $0.7 million to the overall increase. The $1.0 million increase in Other includes $0.4 million in costs associated with NWS, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2011 and not included in the prior year's comparative.
Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, other operating expenses are $2.8 million higher than the prior year period, despite the lower business volumes in the 2011 period compared to the prior year. The increase is due to higher media cost of sales ($2.7 million) as a result of CDS expenditures being included in 2011 but not 2010, as well as the net impact of new and disposed theatres ($1.8 million). These increases were partially offset by lower same-store payroll of $0.5 million due to the lower business volumes, as well as a $1.0 million decrease in marketing expenses during the period. Total theatre payroll accounted for 45.4% of total other operating expenses in the first six months of 2011, compared to 45.9% in the prior year period.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Quarter
G&A expenses increased $3.9 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was due to a $4.0 million increase option expense during the period, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in LTIP expense. Cineplex's share price increased from $23.16 at March 31, 2011 to $26.72 at June 30, 2011, contributing to the increase in the option plan expense. During the second quarter of 2010, the share price decreased from $20.30 at March 31, 2010 to $19.50 at June 30, 2010, resulting in the small recovery recorded in that period.
Year to Date
G&A expenses for the first six months of 2011 were $2.4 million higher than the prior year period, primarily due to the $4.0 million increase in the option plan expense during the period, partially offset by the $2.2 million decrease in LTIP expense during the period. The option plan expense increased as Cineplex's stock price increased from $22.41 at December 31, 2010 to $26.72 at June 30, 2011; whereas the Fund's unit price increased a smaller percentage, from $18.33 at December 31, 2009 to $19.50 at June 30, 2010. The LTIP plan prior to 2011 had one-third of the award vest in the first year, with an additional one-third vesting on the second and third anniversaries of the award. The related expense is recognized using a graded vesting method, whereby a higher proportion of the expense is recognized over the first year of the award. The 2011 LTIP plan vests over three years with the entire payout occurring at the end of the three-year period, resulting in a lower proportion of vesting in the first and second years of the award resulting from a straight-line recognition of the overall expense. This difference in vesting has contributed to the lower cost in the first half of 2011 compared to the prior year period.
Share of loss of joint ventures
Cineplex's joint ventures in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 include its share of one theatre in Quebec, one IMAX screen in Ontario, its interest in SCENE LP and its interest in CDCP. The Fund's joint ventures in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 include its share of four theatres in Quebec, one IMAX screen in Ontario and its interest in SCENE LP. The following table highlights the movement in the share of loss of joint ventures during the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ventures Second Quarter Year to Date

Share of loss of joint
ventures $ 2,867 $ 892 221.4% $ 394 $ 1,685 -76.6%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Quarter
The increase in the loss over the prior year quarter is due to $2.2 million of start-up costs relating to CDCP recognized during the second quarter of 2011. CDCP commenced operations at the end of June 2011, and will begin collecting revenues in the third quarter of 2011.
Year to Date
The movement from a loss of $1.7 million in the first six months of 2010 to a loss of $0.4 million in the current period is primarily due to breakage revenue recognized by SCENE LP. Based on an analysis of point issuance and redemption activity during the first three years of the program, SCENE established a breakage rate and recognized revenue relating to breakage for the first time during the first quarter of 2011. This change in its accounting estimate for breakage resulted in a program-to-date adjustment to its outstanding points liability during the first quarter. The $2.2 million of start-up costs relating to CDCP recognized during the second quarter of 2011 partially offset the impact of the gain recorded for SCENE during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA
The following table represents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 (expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except adjusted EBITDA margin):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBITDA Second Quarter Year to Date
-------------------------------------------------------------
2011 2010 Change 2011 2010 Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBITDA $ 43,260 $ 45,105 -4.1% $ 73,961 $ 75,094 -1.5%
Adjusted EBITDA $ 44,393 $ 41,404 7.2% $ 75,631 $ 76,066 -0.6%
Adjusted EBITDA
margin 17.2% 17.1% 0.1% 15.8% 15.3% 0.5%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2011 increased $3.0 million, or 7.2%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the higher box office and concession revenues due to the higher theatre attendance during the period. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 17.2%, up from 17.1% in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $0.4 million, or 0.6%, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the lower box office and concession revenues due to the lower theatre attendance during the first quarter more than offsetting the higher attendance in the second quarter as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 15.8%, up from 15.3% in the prior year period. The increase is due to the higher media revenues in the 2011 period, which generate higher margins than exhibition revenues.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
For the second quarter of 2011, adjusted free cash flow per share was $0.503 as compared to distributable cash per unit of $0.544 in the second quarter of 2010. The declared dividend per share and the declared distribution per unit were $0.320 and $0.315, respectively, during these periods. The payout ratios for these periods were 64% and 58%, respectively. For the first six months of 2011, adjusted free cash flow per share was $0.895 as compared to distributable cash per unit of $1.006 in the first six months of 2010. The declared dividend per share and the declared distribution per unit were $0.635 and $0.630, respectively, during these periods. The payout ratios for these periods were 71% and 63%, respectively.
