"We were pleased with the results for the quarter," said Ellis Jacob, President
and CEO, Cineplex Inc. "Attendance reached a new quarterly record of 19.0
million guests while total revenues and adjusted EBITDA established new third
quarter records at $298.4 million and $57.9 million respectively. Strategically,
during the quarter we closed the acquisition of EK3 Technologies Inc. and
subsequent to the quarter-end we completed the acquisition of 24 Atlantic Canada
theatres from Empire Theatres Limited. We increased our financing capacity with
an amended and restated credit facility and an offering of convertible
debentures. Our new coast to coast national presence, expanded digital media
business and additional financing capacity combined with the ongoing initiatives
in our existing businesses will provide a platform for growth in the future."
KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2013
During the third quarter of 2013, Cineplex announced that it had closed the
acquisition of EK3 Technologies Inc. ("EK3") and renamed the business Cineplex
Digital Networks ("CDN"). Subsequent to the period end, Cineplex announced that
it had closed the acquisition of 24 theatres from Empire Theatres Limited
("Empire"). In addition, subsequent to the period end, Cineplex entered into an
amended and restated credit agreement which was used to fund the acquisition of
the theatres from Empire. Also subsequent to the period end, Cineplex filed a
short form prospectus for the issuance of extendible convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures which are expected to be issued in the fourth quarter of
2013.
The following describes certain key business initiatives and results undertaken
and achieved during the third quarter of 2013 in each of Cineplex's core

Cineplex set last year.
-- The percentage of box office revenues from premium-priced product (see
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of news release) was 37.0%,
compared to 31.4% in the prior year period. The increase is primarily
due to more 3D, UltraAVX, and IMAX screens as well as more VIP
auditoriums in the circuit in the current year period.

Box office revenues increased $5.9 million, or 3.7%, to $168.1 million during
the third quarter of 2013, compared to $162.1 million recorded in the same
period in 2012. The increase was due to a 3.6% increase in attendance as a
result of the strong depth of the film slate during the current period. The
prior year period was dominated by The Dark Knight Rises, whereas in the current
period multiple films delivered strong results.
BPP for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $8.84, equal to the prior
year period. The increase to BPP from the impact of premium priced product was
offset by the higher proportion of child tickets sold during the current period
due to certain strong performing titles in the current period catering to family
audiences, as well as an increase in attendance on Tuesdays, Cineplex's
discounted ticket night. Premium priced product accounted for 37.0% of box
office revenues in the current period, compared to 31.4% in the prior year
period. The increase in the percentage of box office revenues from premium
priced product was positively impacted by increased installations of UltraAVX,
3D, IMAX and VIP screens since the third quarter of 2012.
Cineplex continues to invest in premium priced formats including 3D, UltraAVX,
IMAX and VIP thereby positioning itself to benefit from the premiums charged for
these offerings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Box office revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $487.6
million or 4.2% higher than the prior year period. The acquisition of the four
theatres from AMC during the third quarter of 2012, and therefore included in
the full 2013 period and only part of the 2012 period, contributed to the box
office revenue increase.
Cineplex's BPP for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $0.17, or
1.9%, from $8.89 in the 2012 period to $9.06. This increase was primarily due to
the increase in revenues from premium-priced product. Premium-priced offerings
accounted for 38.2% of Cineplex's box office revenues in the nine months ended
September 30, 2013, compared to 31.6% in the prior year period. The top five
films in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were all screened in 3D and
four in IMAX (2012 period - three in 3D and five in IMAX).
Cineplex's investment in premium-priced formats over the last five years has
positioned it to take advantage of the price premiums charged for these formats,
which has contributed to Cineplex's BPP growth in the current period compared to
the prior year period. This investment in premium-priced offerings was a key
factor resulting in Cineplex outperforming the Canadian industry box office
revenue growth during the 2013 periods.

and CPP for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Quarter
Concession revenues increased 6.5% as compared to the prior year period due to
the 3.6% increase in attendance and the higher CPP in the current period. The
current period is the first time Cineplex's quarterly concession revenues have
exceeded $90 million. CPP increased from $4.68 in the third quarter of 2012 to
$4.81 in the same period in 2013, a 2.8% increase and third quarter record for
Cineplex. Higher average transaction values led to the record concession
revenues in the period, as expanded offerings outside of core concession
products are driving higher average order value.
Year to Date
Concession revenues increased 5.8% as compared to the prior year, due to the
2.3% increase in attendance and the 3.5% increase in CPP. CPP increased from
$4.62 in 2012 to $4.78 in 2013. This represents the highest CPP Cineplex has
reported through the first nine months of any year.
While the 10% SCENE discount and SCENE points issued on concession combo
purchases reduce individual transaction values which impacts CPP, Cineplex
believes that this program drives incremental visits and concession purchases,
resulting in higher overall concession revenues.
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 Third Quarter Year to Date
--------------------------------------------------------
2013 2012 Change 2013 2012 Change

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 38,805 $ 33,091 17.3% $ 103,387 $ 83,105 24.4%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Quarter
Other revenues increased 17.3% to $38.8 million in the third quarter of 2013
compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to higher
media revenues, which were $27.7 million, up $5.1 million, or 22.7%, when
compared to the prior year period. Of this increase, $2.6 million relates to the
September results for CDN, following the completion of its acquisition on August
30. The remaining Media increase was primarily due to higher showtime and
digital pre-show revenues, with the automotive, retail and telecommunications
sectors being the top categories for the period.
The games revenue increase is primarily due to the addition of five new XSCAPE
entertainment centres since the third quarter of 2012. On January 31, 2012,
Cineplex deconsolidated New Way Sales ("NWS") and merged its operations with the
amusement game and vending assets of Starburst Coin Machines Inc. ("SCM"), to
create CSI. Cineplex and SCM both have a 50% interest in CSI. Cineplex's share
of revenues and expenses from CSI for the periods subsequent to January 31, 2012
are included in the 'Share of income of joint ventures' line in the statements
of operations.
The increase in the other category is primarily due to additional revenues
arising from enhanced guest service initiatives and new business initiatives.
Year to Date
Other revenues increased 24.4% from $83.1 million in 2012 to $103.4 million
during 2013. The largest component of this increase was media revenues, which
increased $16.9 million, or 31.6%, from the prior year period. This increase was
primarily due to higher showtime and digital pre-show revenues. Following the
completion of the acquisition on August 30, CDN contributed $2.6 million to this
increase and existing CDM contributed $0.9 million to this revenue growth in the
period.
The year-to-date period includes a life-to-date one-time increase to games
revenue of $0.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2013 due to a change in
accounting policy regarding the recognition of revenue on the sale of XSCAPE
gaming cards, which was substantially offset by the games revenues for the first
quarter of 2012 including the results of NWS for January 2012 ($0.4 million).
The remainder of the games revenue increase is due to the six XSCAPE locations
added since January 1, 2012, five of which were added subsequent to the third
quarter of 2012. The increase in the other category is primarily due to higher
auditorium rental and screening revenues as well as additional revenues arising
from enhanced guest service initiatives and new business initiatives.
Film cost

percentage for the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian
dollars, except film cost percentage):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third 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 third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year
period was due to the increase in box office revenue and the impact of the 0.8%
increase in film cost percentage. The increase in film cost percentage is
primarily due to the settlement rate on the top films during the third quarter
of 2013 being higher than the average film settlement rate on certain strong
performing titles in the 2012 period.
Year to Date
The year to date increase in film cost was primarily due to the 4.2% increase in
box office revenues during the period. The increase 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 2013 period being higher than the
average settlement rate in the 2012 period.
Cost of concessions
The following table highlights the movement in concession cost and concession
cost as a percentage of concession revenues ("concession cost percentage") for
the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except
concession cost percentage and concession margin per patron):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this news release.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third 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 6.5% increase in concession
revenues and the 0.4% increase in the concession cost percentage during the
period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.71 in the third
quarter of 2012 to $3.79 in the same period in 2013, reflecting the impact of
the higher CPP during the period.
Year to Date
The increase in concession cost during the period was due to the 5.8% increase
in concession revenues and the 0.6% increase in the concession cost percentage
during the period. The concession margin per patron increased from $3.66 in the
2012 period to $3.76 in the current period, reflecting the impact of the higher
CPP during the period.
Despite the 10% discount offered to SCENE members and SCENE points offered on
select combo offerings, which contributes to a higher concession cost
percentage, Cineplex believes the SCENE program drives incremental attendance
and purchase incidence which increases concession revenues and CPP.
Depreciation and amortization
The following table highlights the movement in depreciation and amortization
expenses during the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian
dollars):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amortization expenses Third Quarter Year to Date
----------------------------------------------------
2013 2012 Change 2013 2012 Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amortization of
property, equipment and
leaseholds $ 14,643 $ 13,814 6.0% $ 42,631 $ 42,798 -0.4%
Amortization of
intangible assets and
other 2,674 230 1062.6% 8,511 2,397 255.1%
----------------------------------------------------
Amortization expenses as
reported $ 17,317 $ 14,044 23.3% $ 51,142 $ 45,195 13.2%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quarterly increase in amortization of property, equipment and leaseholds of
$0.8 million is primarily due to the impact of the purchases of equipment and
leasehold improvements relating to new theatre construction and the impact of
assets acquired through acquisitions. The year-to-date decrease of $0.2 million
is due to certain assets becoming fully amortized in the third quarter of 2012,
partially offset by the impact of the purchases of equipment and leaseholds
relating to new theatre construction and assets acquired through acquisitions.
The increase in amortization of intangible assets and other in the third quarter
of 2013 and the year to date period compared to the prior year periods is due to
the amortization of certain trade name assets that are being phased out by
Cineplex. These assets were previously classified as indefinite life assets
however during the fourth quarter of 2012 their classification was changed to
finite life with amortization being recorded over the anticipated rebranding
schedule of the associated theatres. The third quarter of 2013 also includes
intangible amortization relating to customer relationships and internally
developed software acquired as part of the EK3 acquisition which closed during
the period.

Third Quarter
Theatre occupancy expenses increased $0.5 million during the third quarter of
2013 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the
impact of new and acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($1.2 million, of
which $0.6 million relates to the four theatres acquired from AMC), partially
offset by one-time items.
Year to Date
The increase in theatre occupancy expenses of $11.0 million for 2013 compared to
the prior year was due to the new and acquired theatres, primarily the four
theatres acquired from AMC in the third quarter of 2012 (net increase of $10.5
million). This increase was partially offset by the impact of favourable real
estate tax reassessments.

Third Quarter
Other operating expenses during the third quarter of 2013 increased $6.2 million
or 9.2% compared to the prior year period. The major components of the increase
were the impact of the newly acquired CDN ($2.2 million), the impact of new and
acquired theatres net of disposed theatres ($1.3 million), higher same-store
payroll costs ($0.3 million) and other expenses ($2.9 million, discussed below).
These increases were partially offset by lower marketing costs ($1.4 million).
The major movement in the Other category include the following:
-- The increase in 3D attendance due to stronger 3D product and the
additional 108 3D screens added since September 30, 2012 resulted in
higher 3D royalty costs ($0.6 million).
-- Higher utility costs ($0.6 million).
-- Costs relating to converting Cineplex's theatre circuit to energy-
efficient lighting systems ($0.4 million).
-- Higher theatre operating costs including projector bulb expense and
other theatre operating costs related to higher business volumes in the
current period compared to the prior year period.
Total theatre payroll costs accounted for 41.9% of total operating expenses
during the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 44.3% for the same period one
year earlier.
Year to Date
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, other operating expenses increased
$18.1 million. The impact of new and acquired net of disposed theatres was a
$7.0 million increase to the category primarily due to the four theatres
acquired from AMC which accounted for $5.0 million of the $7.0 million increase.
Cost increases included higher media costs due to the higher media sales during
the period ($2.7 million), the impact of the newly acquired CDN ($2.2 million)
higher same-store payroll expenses related to the increased business volumes
($0.5 million), and a $5.9 million increase in the Other category.
The major movement in the Other category included the following:
-- The increase in 3D attendance due to stronger 3D product and the
additional 108 3D screens added since September 30, 2012 resulted in
higher 3D royalty costs ($1.5 million).
-- Higher credit card service fees due to higher sales volumes during the
period ($0.6 million).
-- Higher same-store utility costs during 2013 compared to the prior year
period ($1.6 million).
-- Higher theatre operating costs including projector bulb expense and
other theatre operating costs related to higher business volumes in the
current period compared to the prior year period.
Total theatre payroll accounted for 42.9% of total other operating expenses in
the 2013 period, compared to 44.7% in the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses
The following table highlights the movement in general and administrative
("G&A") expenses during the quarter and year to date, including Share based
compensation costs, and G&A net of these costs (in thousands of Canadian
dollars):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) LTIP includes the expense for the LTIP program as well as the expense
for the executive and Board deferred share unit plans.
Third Quarter
G&A expenses increased $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2013 compared to
the prior year period, due to a $1.3 million increase in LTIP expenses. The
increase in Cineplex's share price during the period, which surpassed $40.00 for
the first time, closing the third quarter at $38.21, was the main contributor to
the increase in LTIP expense. G&A excluding LTIP were $0.2 million higher than
the prior year.
Year to Date
G&A expenses for 2013 increased $5.5 million compared to the prior year period,
primarily due to the $3.8 million increase in LTIP expense. Head office payroll
expenses increased $1.8 million due to new business initiatives resulting in
additional headcount.
Share of income of joint ventures
Cineplex's joint ventures in the 2013 period include its 50% share of one
theatre in Quebec and one IMAX screen in Ontario, its 78.2% interest in CDCP and
its 50% interest in CSI. For the 2012 period, Cineplex's joint ventures included
one theatre in Quebec, one IMAX screen in Ontario, its 78.2% interest in CDCP
and its 50% interest in CSI following its formation on January 31, 2012. The
following table highlights the components of share of income of joint ventures
during the quarter and the year to date (in thousands of Canadian dollars):

Total (income) of joint
ventures $ (1,247) $ (831) 50.1% $ (3,004) $ (2,261) 32.9%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third Quarter
The increase from income of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 to income
of $1.2 million in the current period is primarily due to an increase in income
from CSI.
Under IFRS 11, Cineplex's 50% interest in SCENE LP is classified as a joint
operation and not a joint venture resulting in Cineplex recognizing its share of
the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of SCENE in its consolidated
financial statements on a line-by-line basis.
Year to Date
The increase from income of $2.3 million in the 2012 period to income of $3.0
million in the current year is due to income increases in all of Cineplex's
joint ventures, with the largest increase coming from CSI.
EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, INCOME TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ("EBITDA")
(see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this news release)
The following table presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2012 (expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except adjusted
EBITDA margin):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBITDA Third Quarter Year to Date
-------------------------------------------------------
2013 2012 Change 2013 2012 Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EBITDA $ 56,100 $ 77,971 -28.1% $143,966 $165,754 (13.1)%
Adjusted EBITDA $ 57,896 $ 54,575 6.1% $148,297 $142,977 3.7%
Adjusted EBITDA
margin 19.4% 19.4% -% 17.5% 18.0% (0.5)%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 increased $3.3 million, or 6.1%,
as compared to the prior year period. The increase as compared to the prior year
period was primarily due to the higher attendance in the period resulting in
higher exhibition and concession revenues, as well as the strong media revenues
in the period. CDN, acquired on August 30, 2013 contributed $0.4 million to
adjusted EBITDA in the period. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated as adjusted
EBITDA divided by total revenues, was 19.4% in both periods.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $148.3 million
compared to $143.0 million in the prior year period. This increase was due to
the strong media revenues recorded throughout the 2013 period compared to the
prior year, as well as the strong exhibition results in the second and third
quarters of 2013 compared to the prior year period.
Subsequent to the acquisition of the four theatres from AMC in July 2012,
Cineplex has applied its operating and programming expertise in combination with
merchandising, media, marketing, interactive and SCENE initiatives to these
locations. These efforts, combined with new UltraAVX auditoriums have positively
impacted these theatres, which contributed $0.8 million and $1.0 million,
respectively, to adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2013. Cineplex will continue to invest in these locations, including adding
VIP auditoriums to select locations.
ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW
For the third quarter of 2013, adjusted free cash flow per common share of
Cineplex was $0.7624 as compared to $0.5737 in the prior year period. The
declared dividends per common share of Cineplex were $0.3600 in the third
quarter of 2013 and $0.3375 in the prior year period. During the twelve months
ended September 30, 2013, Cineplex generated adjusted free cash flow per Share
of $2.4221, compared to $1.8992 in the prior year period. Cineplex declared
dividends per Share of $1.3875 and $1.3150, respectively, in each period. The
payout ratios for these periods were approximately 57.3% and 69.2%,
respectively. Adjusted free cash flow per common share and the payout ratios for
the 2013 periods are positively impacted by Cineplex's use of loss carryforwards
acquired through Cineplex's acquisition of AMC Ventures Inc. in 2012, resulting
in Cineplex's cash income taxes in 2013 being substantially reduced.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not measures recognized by GAAP and do
not have standardized meanings in accordance with such principles. Therefore,
EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers. Management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free
cash flow 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.
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, gains
on acquisition of businesses and the share of income of the Canadian Digital
Cinema Partnership ("CDCP"). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing
adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.
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.
For a detailed reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and
from cash used in or provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash
flow, please refer to Cineplex's management's discussion and analysis filed on
www.sedar.com.
Earnings per Share Metrics
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 include a $23.8 million gain
on the acquisition of four theatres acquired from AMC Entertainment Inc.
Cineplex has presented basic and diluted earnings per share net of gains on
acquisitions to provide a more comparable earnings per share metric between the
current and prior year periods. In the non-GAAP measure, earnings is defined as
net income less the gain on acquisition of business.
Per Patron Revenue Metrics
Cineplex reviews per patron metrics as they relate to box office revenue and
concession revenue such as BPP, CPP, BPP excluding premium priced product, and
concession margin per patron, as these are key measures used by investors to
value and assess Cineplex's performance, and are widely used in the theatre
exhibition industry. Management of Cineplex defines these metrics as follows:
Attendance: Attendance is calculated as the total number of paying patrons
that frequent Cineplex's theatres during the period.
BPP: Calculated as total box office revenues divided by total paid
attendance for the period.
BPP excluding premium priced product: Calculated as total box office
revenues for the period, less box office revenues from 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and
IMAX product; divided by total paid attendance for the period, less paid
attendance for 3D, UltraAVX, VIP and IMAX product.
CPP: Calculated as total concession revenues divided by total paid
attendance for the period.
Premium priced product: Defined as 3D, UltraAVX, IMAX and VIP film product.
Concession margin per patron: Calculated as total concession revenues less
total concession cost, divided by attendance for the period.
Same Store Analysis
Cineplex reviews and reports same store metrics relating to box office revenues,
concession revenues, rent expense and payroll expense, as these measures are
widely used in the theatre exhibition industry as well as other retail
industries.
Same store metrics are calculated by removing the results for all theatres that
have been opened, acquired, closed or otherwise disposed of during the periods.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, ten locations
that have been opened or acquired and four locations that have been closed or
otherwise disposed of have been excluded, resulting in 130 theatres being
included in the same store metrics.
Cost of sales percentages
Cineplex reviews and reports cost of sales percentages for its two largest
revenue sources, box office revenues and concession revenues as these measures
are widely used in the theatre exhibition industry. These measures are reported
as film cost percentage and concession cost percentage, respectively, and are
calculated as follows:
Film cost percentage: Calculated as total film cost expense divided by total
box office revenues for the period.
Concession cost percentage: Calculated as total concession costs divided by
total concession revenues for the period.
