Record Q2 Revenue and EBITDA
Total revenues reached $1,596.7M, up 14.2% year-over-year, while Adjusted EBITDA hit $321.4M — a 70% increase and both all-time quarterly records for AMC.
-
Strong Free Cash Flow Generation
Driven by higher operating income and disciplined capital spending, free cash flow came in at $190.1M in Q2, compared to $88.9M a year ago.
-
Balance Sheet Strengthening
A $400M debt refinancing extended maturities by four years and cut annual cash interest expense by $16M. An additional $51M in interest savings is expected from lower leverage ratios.
-
No Near-Term Debt Maturities
Following debt exchanges and repayments, AMC has no material debt maturities until 2029, removing a key overhang.
Analysis · AMC · Trade & Services
In its best quarter in 106 years, AMC saw revenue climb 14.2% to $1.6B while Adjusted EBITDA soared 70% to $321.4M. Free cash flow reached $190.1M, and a $400M debt refinancing pushed out maturities, leaving no material obligations until 2029. With $778.4M in cash and a resurgent box office, the narrative shifts decisively from survival to recovery — the balance sheet is healing, and operating leverage is scaling meaningfully.
