The earnings call reflects a mixed performance for Q1 2025, with significant achievements in asset sales, debt reduction, and positive EBITDA growth. However, these were counterbalanced by declines in total and cinema revenue, as well as increased operating losses and cash flow challenges. The promising second quarter box office performance and improvements in F&B SPP and real estate operating income suggest potential recovery, but the lowlights indicate ongoing financial pressures.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the first quarter of 2025 earnings call, Reading International reported a global total revenue of $40.2 million, an 11% decrease from Q1 2024, primarily due to weaker box office performance and foreign exchange impacts. Despite this, their global operating loss improved by 8.5% to $6.9 million due to more efficient operations and cost-cutting measures. The company achieved a positive EBITDA of $2.9 million, up from a negative $4 million in Q1 2024, driven by asset sales and reduced expenses. Notably, the F&B Spend Per Patron (F&B SPP) in Australia reached a record high, while U.S. cinema revenue decreased by 14% to $18.3 million. Reading's global real estate revenue slightly decreased to $4.8 million, but operating income saw a significant 79% increase, attributed to improved live theater performance and reduced costs. The company also highlighted successful film releases in the second quarter and strategic initiatives to enhance the cinematic experience and loyalty programs. Overall, Reading International is focused on reducing debt and advancing renovation projects to optimize operations and financial health.
