Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Full-year net loss improved by $21.2 million to $14.1 million, with basic loss per share improving $0.96 to $0.62
  • Full-year adjusted EBITDA increased 744% to $17.8 million from $2.1 million, including an $8.4 million gain on sale of assets
  • Cinema Operating Income increased 230% for the full year, achieving best-ever annual Average Ticket Price and Food & Beverage Spend per Person in all three markets
  • Total borrowings declined to $185.1 million from $202.7 million, funded by Cannon Park and Wellington sale proceeds
  • Acquired the remaining 25% interest in Cinemas 1, 2 and 3 via Sutton Hill Associates, adding a $13.6 million 4.7% note maturing 2035
  • Real Estate division delivered improved Operating Income for both Q4 and full-year 2025, with Australia/New Zealand third-party portfolio at 98% occupancy

Risks & pressure points

  • Q4 revenue declined $8.3 million to $50.3 million, driven by a weaker film slate, two unprofitable theater closures, and lost property rent from Cannon Park and Wellington sales
  • Q4 operating loss of $1.0 million versus operating income of $1.1 million in Q4 2024; Q4 adjusted EBITDA fell 25% to $5.1 million
  • Q4 net loss widened $0.3 million to $2.6 million ($0.11/share) from $2.4 million ($0.10/share), including a $2.2 million decrease in other income
  • Full-year total revenue decreased 4% to $203.0 million from $210.5 million, hurt by FX weakness of 2.2% (AUD) and 3.8% (NZD)
  • Liquidity pressure: cash and equivalents were only $10.5 million at year-end and the company continues amending debt facilities and covenants
  • At least one additional U.S. theater is expected to close in 2026, with potential for a few more cinema closures over the next 12 to 18 months
