  The company significantly reduced its net loss to $14.1 million in 2025 from $35.3 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA also saw a substantial increase to $17.8 million from $2.1 million, partly aided by an $8.4 million gain on asset sales.

• Proactive Debt Management

  The company successfully extended the maturity dates for multiple loans, including 44 Union Square, Bank of America/Bank of Hawaii, Live Theatre assets, NAB, and Valley National Bank, through 2026 and 2030. NAB also agreed to reduce minimum liquidity requirements for a defined period.

Reading International, a diversified cinema and real estate company, reported a substantial improvement in its full-year 2025 financial performance, significantly reducing its net loss and boosting Adjusted EBITDA. This positive trend, driven in part by strategic asset sales, is critical for a company of its size and ongoing efforts to stabilize its financial position. The company has been proactive in managing its debt obligations by extending maturities on several loans and using asset sale proceeds to reduce bank debt. While fourth-quarter results showed a decline, the overall full-year improvement and a positive outlook for the 2026 film slate provide a more optimistic picture for investors.
