Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data . ​ MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING ​ AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ​ TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC. ​ Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. With management’s participation, an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was conducted as of December 31, 2022, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report that follows this report. ​ ​ /s/ Adam M. Aron ​ Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ /s/ S EAN D. G OODMAN ​ Executive Vice President, International Operations, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer ​ ​ ​ ​ 81 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm ​ To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 28, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Impairment of long-lived assets Description of the Matter ​ At December 31, 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges related to long-lived assets of $73.4 million and $59.7 million on theatres in the US and International markets, respectively. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. Asset groups are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The Company estimates the future 82 Table of Contents undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset groups and compares those estimates to the carrying value of the related asset groups. If the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the asset group may be impaired. If the asset group is determined to be impaired, the carrying value of the asset group is reduced to fair value as estimated by a discounted cash flow model, with the difference recorded as an impairment charge. Auditing management’s long-lived asset impairment analysis was highly judgmental due to the estimation required in determining the undiscounted cash flows and related fair values of an impaired asset group. In particular, the cash flows were sensitive to significant assumptions such as admissions revenue expectations, long term growth rates, and discount rates. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit ​ We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s assessment of the projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by asset groups, and cash flows used to determine fair value for certain asset groups. This included internal controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions underlying the undiscounted cash flow and fair value determination. We also tested management’s controls to validate that the data used in the analysis was complete and accurate. ​ To test the significant assumptions described above, we performed audit procedures that included testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in the analysis. We compared the significant assumptions used by the Company to current industry and economic trends. We performed a sensitivity analysis of the impact of certain assumptions on the estimates and recalculated management’s estimates. We also involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the discount rate used in the fair value estimates. ​ ​ ​ /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020 Kansas City, Missouri February 28, 2023 83 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm ​ To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and our report dated February 28, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Kansas City, Missouri February 28, 2023 ​ 84 Table of Contents AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC. ​ CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF

(“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “AMC”), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Europe. Temporarily Suspended or Limited Operations. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company temporarily suspended theatre operations in its U.S. markets and International markets in compliance with local, state, and federal governmental restrictions and recommendations on social gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and as a precaution to help ensure the health and safety of the Company’s guests and theatre staff. As of March 17, 2020, all of the Company’s U.S. and International theatre operations were temporarily suspended. The Company resumed limited operations in the International markets in early June 2020 and limited operations in the U.S. markets in late August 2020. A COVID-19 resurgence during the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted in additional local, state, and federal governmental restrictions and many previously reopened theatres in International markets temporarily suspended operations again. The following table summarizes theatre operations for the Company in 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of ​ As of ​ As of ​ As of ​ ​ ​ January 1, ​ March 31, ​ June 30, ​ September 30, ​ Theatre Operations: ​ 2021 ​ 2021 ​ 2021 ​ 2021 ​ Percentage of theatres operated - Domestic ​ 66.8 % 99.2 % 99.8 % 99.8 % Percentage of theatres operated - International ​ 30.3 % 27.3 % 94.9 % 99.2 % Percentage of theatres operated - Consolidated ​ 52.9 % 72.2 % 98.0 % 99.6 % ​ During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company operated essentially 100 % of all its U.S. and International theatres. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no restrictions on operations in any of the U.S. or International theatres. Liquidity. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 631.5 million and $ 211.2 million unused borrowing capacity, net of letters of credit, under the $ 225.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company adjusted certain elements of its business strategy and took significant steps to preserve cash. The Company is continuing to take significant measures to further strengthen its financial position and enhance its operations, by eliminating non-essential costs, including reductions to its variable costs and elements of its fixed cost structure, introducing new initiatives, and optimizing its theatrical footprint. Additionally, the Company enhanced liquidity through debt refinancing that extended maturities, purchases of debt below par value, and equity sales.

The improvement is primarily attributable to working capital changes, partially offset by an increased net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The Company has also continued to repay rent amounts that were deferred during the pandemic, which increases its cash outflows from operating activities. See Note 3 — Leases for a summary of the estimated future repayment terms for the remaining $ 157.2 million of rentals that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s net cash provided by (used in )investing activities included: ● $ 34.8 million of capital expenditures and $ 27.9 million of investments in non-consolidated entities, partially offset by proceeds from the disposition of long-term assets of $ 7.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022; ● $ 40.4 million of capital expenditures, $ 17.8 million for the acquisition of theatres, partially offset by proceeds of $ 11.4 million from the sale of securities in conjunction with the liquidation of a non-qualified deferred compensation plan during the three months ended June 30, 2022; ● $ 54.5 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from disposition of long-term assets $ 3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022; and ● $ 72.3 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $ 0.5 million of proceeds from disposition of long-term assets and $ 1.5 million of proceeds from the sale of NCM shares during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s net cash provided by (used in) financing activities included: ● $ 955.7 million of principal and premium payments, $ 52.2 million of taxes paid for restricted unit withholdings, and $ 17.7 million of cash used to pay for deferred financing costs, partially offset by proceeds from the Company’s debt issuances of $ 950.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022; ● $ 57.9 million of principal and premium payments, $ 1.8 million of cash used to pay for deferred financing costs and $ 0.7 million of AMC Preferred Equity Unit issuance during the three months ended June 30, 2022; 92 Table of Contents ● $ 7.4 million principal payments and $ 0.5 million of cash used to pay deferred financing costs, partially offset by $ 8.5 million of net proceeds from AMC Preferred Equity Units issuance during the three months ended September 30, 2022; and ● $ 529.5 million of principal and premium payments and $ 6.9 million of cash used to pay for deferred financing costs, partially offset by proceeds from the Company’s debt issuance of $ 368.0 million and $ 212.6 million of net proceeds from AMC Preferred Equity Units issuance during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

This is primarily attributable to continued increases in attendance and industry box office revenues during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations, satisfy its obligations, including cash outflows to repay rent amounts that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic and planned capital expenditures, and comply with minimum liquidity and financial covenant requirements under its debt covenants related to borrowings pursuant to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility for at least the next twelve months. In order to achieve net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, the Company believes that operating revenues and attendance levels will need to increase significantly from 2021 and 2022 levels to levels in line with pre-COVID-19 operating revenues. The Company believes the anticipated volume of titles available for theatrical release, and the anticipated broad appeal of many of those titles will support increased operating revenues and attendance levels. The Company believes that recent operating revenues attendance levels are positive signs of continued demand for the moviegoing experience. Total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $ 3.9 billion, $ 2.5 billion, and $ 1.2 billion, respectively, compared to $ 5.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 attendance was 201.0 million patrons, 128.5 million patrons, and 75.2 million patrons, respectively, compared to 356.4 million patrons for the year ended December 31, 2019. Moreover, it is difficult to predict future operating revenues and attendance levels and there remain significant risks that may negatively impact operating revenues and attendance, including movie studios release schedules, the production and theatrical release of fewer films compared to levels before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and direct to streaming or other changing movie studio practices. 93 Table of Contents The Company entered the Ninth Amendment pursuant to which the requisite revolving lenders party thereto agreed to extend the fixed date for the termination of the suspension period for the financial covenant (the secured leverage ratio) applicable to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022, which was further extended by the Eleventh Amendment and the Twelfth Amendment from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, and then from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, respectively, in each case, as described, and on the terms and conditions specified, therein. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was subject to a minimum liquidity requirement of $ 100 million as a condition to the Extended Covenant Suspension Period (as defined in Note 8—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part II, Item 8 thereof). The current maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is April 22, 2024; since the financial covenant applicable to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is tested as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been (or were required to have been) delivered, the financial covenant has been effectively suspended through maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The 11.25 % Odeon Term Loan Facility due 2023 (“Odeon Term Loan Facility”) was to mature on August 19, 2023, during the third fiscal quarter of the Company’s next calendar year. On October 20, 2022, the Company completely repaid the Odeon Term Loan Facility using existing cash and $ 363.0 million net proceeds from the issuance of Odeon Notes due 2027. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity (including AMC Preferred Equity Units) or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased $ 118.3 million aggregate principal of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 for $ 68.3 million and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $ 75.0 million in other expense (income). Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased $ 5.3 million aggregate principal of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 for $ 1.6 million and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $ 3.7 million in other expense (income). Accrued interest of $ 4.5 million was paid in connection with the repurchases. See Note 8—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for more information. The Company received rent concessions provided by the lessors that aided in mitigating the economic effects of COVID-19 during the pandemic. These concessions primarily consisted of rent abatements and the deferral of rent payments. As a result, deferred lease amounts were approximately $ 157.2 million as of December 31, 2022. Including repayments of deferred lease amounts, the Company’s cash expenditures for rent increased significantly during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 3 — Leases for a summary of the estimated future repayment terms for the deferred lease amounts due to COVID-19 and also a summary of the estimated future repayment terms for the minimum operating lease and finance lease amounts. It is very difficult to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements, future cash burn rates, future operating revenues, and attendance levels. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve significantly increased levels of operating revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly. In order to achieve net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, the Company believes that operating revenues will need to increase significantly to levels in line with pre-COVID-19 operating revenues. The Company’s current cash burn rates are not sustainable. Further, the Company cannot accurately predict what future changes may occur to the supply or release date of movie titles available for theatrical exhibition once moviegoers are prepared to return in large numbers. Nor can the Company know with certainty the impact on consumer movie-going behavior of studios who release movies to theatrical exhibition and their streaming platforms on the same date, or the potential attendance impact of other studio decisions to accelerate in-home availability of their theatrical movies. Studio negotiations regarding evolving theatrical release models and film licensing terms are ongoing. There can be no assurance that the operating revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and our ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates and success of individual titles. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet the Company’s obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to maintain or renegotiate our minimum liquidity covenant requirements, it could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. 94 Table of Contents AMC Preferred Equity Units. On August 4, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of one AMC Preferred Equity Unit (an “AMC Preferred Equity Unit”) for each share of Class A common stock outstanding at the close of business August 15, 2022, the record date. The dividend was paid at the close of business August 19, 2022 to investors who held Class A common shares as of August 22, 2022, the ex-dividend date. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit is a depositary share and represents an interest in one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock evidenced by a depositary receipt pursuant to a deposit agreement. The Company has 50,000,000 Preferred Stock shares authorized, 10,000,000 of which have currently been allocated and 7,245,872 have been issued under the depositary agreement as Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, leaving 40,000,000 unallocated Preferred Stock shares. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit is designed to have the same economic and voting rights as a share of Class A common stock. Trading of the AMC Preferred Equity Units on the NYSE began on August 22, 2022 under the ticker symbol “APE”. Due to the characteristics of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the special dividend had the effect of a stock split pursuant to ASC 505-20-25-4. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the special stock dividend as a stock split. See Note 9–Stockholders’ Equity and Note 15–Loss Per Share. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, a portion of its stockholders’ equity, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. Noncontrolling Interests and Baltic Theatre Sale. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements; consequently, a portion of its stockholders’ equity, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to noncontrolling interests. On August 28, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its equity interest in Forum Cinemas OU, which consists of nine theatres located in the Baltic region (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and is included in the Company’s International markets reportable segment, for total consideration of approximately € 77.25 million, including cash of approximately € 64.35 million or $ 76.6 million prior to any transaction costs. This transaction was undertaken by the Company to further increase its liquidity and strengthen its balance sheet at a transaction multiple that demonstrates that market participants ascribe positive value to the business. The completion of the sale took place in several steps, as noted below, and was contingent upon clearance from each regulatory competition council in each country. The Company received $ 37.5 million (€ 31.53 million) cash consideration upon entering into the sale agreement on August 28, 2020 and paid $ 0.5 million in transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company transferred an equity interest of 49 % in Forum Cinemas OU to the purchaser and recorded an initial noncontrolling interest of $ 34.9 million in total equity (deficit). Transaction costs of $ 1.4 million and net gain of $ 1.2 million related to the sale of 49 % equity interest of Lithuania and Estonia and the 100 % disposal of Latvia were recorded in additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2020 and were recorded in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2021 when the remaining 51 % interests in Lithuania and Estonia were disposed. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received cash consideration of $ 6.2 million (€ 5.3 million), net of cash of $ 0.2 million for the remaining 51 % equity interest in Latvia. At December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities included as part of the disposal group that were previously included in the International markets reportable segment were; goodwill of $ 41.8 million, property, net, of $ 13.0 million, operating lease right-of-use assets, net of $ 15.7 million, and current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $ 2.4 million and $ 13.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s noncontrolling interest of 49 % in Lithuania and Estonia was $ 26.9 million. 95 Table of Contents During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received cash consideration of $ 34.2 million (€ 29.4 million), net of cash disposed of $ 0.4 million and transaction costs of $ 1.3 million, for the remaining 51 % equity interest in Estonia, 51 % equity interest in Lithuania and eliminated the Company’s noncontrolling interest in Forum Cinemas OU. The Company recorded the net gain from the sale of its equity interest in Forum Cinemas OU of $ 5.5 million (net of transaction costs of $ 2.6 million) in investment expense (income) , during the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenues. The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales tax, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Admissions and food and beverage revenues are recorded at a point in time when a film is exhibited to a customer and when a customer takes possession of food and beverage offerings. The Company defers 100 % of the revenue associated with the sales of gift cards and exchange tickets until such time as the items are redeemed or estimated income from non-redemption is recorded. The Company recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed gift cards in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer (“proportional method”) where it applies an estimated non-redemption rate for its gift card sales channels, which range from 13 % to 19 % of the current month sales of gift cards, and the Company recognizes in other theatre revenues the total amount of expected income for non-redemption for that current month’s sales as income over the next 24 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. The Company has determined its non-redeemed rates and redemption patterns using more than 10 years of accumulated data. The Company also recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed exchange tickets using the proportional method. In the International markets, certain exchange tickets are subject to expiration dates, which triggers recognition of non-redemption in other revenues. The Company recognizes ticket fee revenues based on a gross transaction price. The Company is a principal (as opposed to agent) in the arrangement with third-party internet ticketing companies in regard to the sale of online tickets because the Company controls the online tickets before they are transferred to the customer. The online ticket fee revenues and the third-party commission or service fees are recorded in the line items other theatre revenues and operating expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. Film Exhibition Costs. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and estimates of the final settlement to the film licensors. Film exhibition costs include certain advertising costs. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded film payables of $ 123.8 million and $ 150.3 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Food and Beverage Costs. The Company records rebate payments from vendors as a reduction of food and beverage costs when earned. Exhibitor Services Agreement. The Company recognizes advertising revenues, which are included in other theatre revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customers. The advertising contracts with customers generally consist of a series of distinct periods of service, satisfied over time, to provide rights to advertising services. The Company’s Exhibitor Services Agreement (“ESA”) with National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) includes a significant financing component due to the significant length of time between receiving the non-cash consideration and fulfilling the performance obligation. The Company receives the non-cash consideration in the form of common membership units from NCM, in exchange for rights to exclusive access to the Company’s theatre screens and attendees through February 2037. Upon recognition, the Company records an increase to advertising revenues with a similar offsetting increase in non-cash interest expense, which is recorded to non-cash NCM exhibitor service agreement in the consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to the calculation requirements for the time value of money, the amortization method reflects the front-end loading of the significant financing component where more interest expense is recognized earlier during the term of the agreement than the back-end recognition of the deferred revenue amortization where more revenue is recognized later in the term of the agreement. See Note 6 — Investments for further information regarding the common unit adjustment (“CUA”) and the fair value measurement of the non-cash consideration. The interest expense was calculated using discount rates that ranged from 6.5 % to 18.25 %, which are the rates at which the Company believes it could borrow in separate financing transactions. Customer Engagement Programs. AMC Stubs ® is a customer loyalty program in the U.S. markets which allows members to earn rewards, receive discounts and participate in exclusive members-only offerings and services. It features both a paid tier called AMC Stubs Premiere TM for a flat annual membership fee and a non-paid tier called AMC 96 Table of Contents Stubs ® Insider TM . Both programs reward loyal guests for their patronage of AMC Theatres. Rewards earned are redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. The Company estimates point breakage in assigning value to the points at the time of sale based on historical trends. The program’s annual membership fee is allocated to the material rights for discounted or free products and services and is initially deferred, net of estimated refunds, and recognized as the rights are redeemed based on estimated utilization, over the one-year membership period in admissions, food and beverage, and other revenues. A portion of the revenues related to a material right are deferred as a virtual rewards performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price method and are recognized as the rights are redeemed or expire. AMC Stubs ® A-List is the Company’s monthly subscription-based tier of the AMC Stubs ® loyalty program. This program offers guests admission to movies at AMC up to three times per week including multiple movies per day and repeat visits to already seen movies from $ 19.95 and $ 24.95 per month depending upon geographic market. Revenue is recognized ratably over the enrollment period. The Company suspended the recognition of deferred revenues related to certain loyalty programs, gift cards, and exchange tickets during the period in which its operations were temporarily suspended. As the Company re-opened theatres, A-List members had the option to reactivate their subscription, which restarted the monthly charge for the program. Starting in July of 2021, all A-List monthly subscriptions were automatically reactivated and the Company has resumed a more normal recognition pattern for deferred revenues related to certain loyalty programs, gift cards and exchange tickets. Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and does not have any direct-response advertising recorded as assets. Advertising costs were $ 28.0 million, $ 28.4 million, and $ 10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are recorded in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents. All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. At December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. markets and International markets were $ 508.0 million and $ 123.5 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $ 1,311.4 million and $ 281.1 million, respectively. Restricted Cash. Restricted cash is cash held in the Company's bank accounts in International markets as a guarantee for certain landlords. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to the total of the amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents ​ $ 631.5 ​ $ 1,592.5 ​ $ 308.3 Restricted cash ​ ​ 22.9 ​ ​ 27.8 ​ ​ 13.1 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows ​ $ 654.4 ​ $ 1,620.3 ​ $ 321.4 ​ Derivative Asset and Liability. Prior to September 14, 2020, the Company remeasured the derivative asset related to its contingent call option to acquire shares of its Class B common stock at no additional cost and the derivative liability related to the conversion feature in its Convertible Notes due 2026 at fair value each reporting period until the conversion price reset on September 14, 2020, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in other expense (income). The Company obtained independent third-party valuation studies to assist in determining fair value. The Company’s valuation studies used a Monte Carlo simulation approach and were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Company’s Common Stock price at the end of each reporting period as well as the remaining amount of time until expiration for the contingent call option and conversion feature were key inputs for the estimation of fair value that were expected to change each reporting period. The Company recorded other expense (income) related to derivative asset fair value adjustments of $ 0 million, $ 0 million and $ 19.6 million, during the years 97 Table of Contents ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and other expense (income) related to derivative liability fair value adjustments of $ 0 million, $ 0 million, and $ 89.4 million, during the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity for further discussions. Intangible Assets. Intangible assets were recorded at fair value for intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Holdings by Wanda on August 30, 2012 and other theatre acquisitions. Intangible assets are comprised of amounts assigned to management contracts, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets, and trademark and trade names. The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. Trademark and trade names are considered either definite or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. The Company first assesses the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment losses related to definite-lived intangible assets of $ 14.4 million in the U.S. markets and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $ 15.2 million in the International markets. There were no intangible asset impairment charges incurred during the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Investments. The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated entities using either the cost or equity methods of accounting as appropriate, and has recorded the investments within other long-term assets in its consolidated balance sheets. Equity earnings and losses are recorded when the Company’s ownership interest provides the Company with significant influence. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-30-35-3, investment in a limited liability company, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments where the Company has significant influence. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of investments or impairments accounted for using the cost method in investment expense (income). Gains and losses on cash sales are recorded using the weighted average cost of all interests in the investments. Gains and losses related to non-cash negative common unit adjustments are recorded using the weighted average cost of those units in NCM. See Note 6 — Investments for further discussion of the Company’s investments in NCM. As of December 31, 2022, the Company holds equity method investments comprised of a 18.3 % interest in SV Holdco LLC (“SV Holdco”), a joint venture that markets and sells cinema advertising and promotions through Screenvision; a 50.0 % interest in Digital Cinema Media Ltd. (“DCM”), a joint venture that provides advertising services in International markets; a 32.0 % interest in AC JV, LLC (“AC JV”), a joint venture that owns Fathom Events offering alternative content for motion picture screens; a 14.6 % interest in Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, LLC (“DCDC”), a satellite distribution network for feature films and other digital cinema content; a 10.0 % interest in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC (“SCC”); a 50 % ownership interest in three U.S. motion picture theatres and approximately 50 % ownership interest in 57 theatres in Europe. Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company. In 2020, the Company early adopted the amendments in S-X Rule 1-02(w) related to significant subsidiary tests of nonconsolidated entities. Goodwill. The Company’s recorded goodwill was $ 2,342.0 million and $ 2,429.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to the acquisition of Holdings by Wanda on August 30, 2012 and subsequent theatre business acquisitions. The Company evaluates goodwill recorded at the Company’s two reporting units (Domestic Theatres and International Theatres). Also, the Company evaluates goodwill and its indefinite-lived trademark and trade names for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth quarter and any time an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value for a reporting unit below its carrying amount. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-30, goodwill of a reporting unit shall be tested for impairment between annual tests by assessing the qualitative factors to determine if an event occurs or changes in circumstances that would warrant an interim ASC 350 impairment analysis. If an impairment analysis is needed, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test for goodwill, which involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the 98 Table of Contents difference is recorded as goodwill impairment charge, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Qualitative impairment tests . The Company performed a qualitative impairment test to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than their respective carrying amount as of its annual assessment date, October 1st. The Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company’s two reporting units had been reduced below their respective carrying amounts at the annual assessment date for 2021 or 2022. The Company concluded that there were no triggering events that had occurred between the annual assessment date and December 31, 2022. Step 1 quantitative goodwill impairment tests performed during 2020. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-30, the Company performed an assessment to determine whether there were any events or changes in circumstances that would warrant an interim ASC 350 impairment analysis. A decline in the Common Stock price and prices of the Company’s corporate borrowings and the resulting impact on market capitalization are two of several factors considered when making this evaluation. In performing the Step 1 quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company used an enterprise value approach to measure fair value of the reporting units. Based on sustained declines during the first quarter of 2020 in the Company’s enterprise market capitalization and the temporary suspension of operations at all the Company’s theatres on or before March 17, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed a Step 1 quantitative goodwill impairment test of the Domestic and International reporting units as of March 31, 2020. The enterprise fair values of the Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units were less than their carrying values and goodwill impairment charges of $ 1,124.9 million and $ 619.4 million, respectively, were recorded as of March 31, 2020 for the Company’s Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units. Due to the suspension of operations during the second and third quarters of 2020 and the further delay or cancellation of film releases, the Company performed a Step 1 quantitative impairment test of the Domestic and International reporting units as of September 30, 2020. See Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodology. The enterprise fair value of the Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units was less than their carrying values and goodwill impairment charges of $ 151.2 million and $ 5.6 million, respectively, were recorded as of September 30, 2020 for the Company’s Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units. Due to the further delay or cancellation of film releases and the further suspension of operations in the International markets, the Company performed a Step 1 quantitative impairment test of the Domestic and International reporting units as of December 31, 2020. See Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodology. The enterprise fair value of the Domestic Theatres reporting unit was greater than its carrying value and the enterprise fair value of the International Theatre reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, goodwill impairment charge of $ 405.3 million was recorded as of December 31, 2020 for the Company’s International Theatres reporting unit. There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and discount rates to be used in determining fair value, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Given the nature of the Company’s business and its recent history, future impairments are possible based upon business conditions, movie release dates, and attendance levels. Other Long-term Assets. Other long-term assets are comprised principally of investments in partnerships and joint ventures and capitalized computer software, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. See Note 7 — Supplemental Balance Sheet Information. Accounts Payable. Under the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in book overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are classified within accounts payable in the balance sheet. The change in book overdrafts are reported as a component of operating cash flows for accounts payable as they do not represent bank overdrafts. The amount of these checks included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 2.2 million and $ 3.6 million, respectively. Leases. The Company leases theatres and equipment under operating and finance leases. The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 12 to 15 years , with certain leases containing options to extend the leases for up to an additional 20 years . 99 Table of Contents The Company typically does not believe that the exercise of the renewal options is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally, the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index and other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recorded at commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The minimum lease payments include base rent and other fixed payments, including fixed maintenance costs. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 25 years , which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and also elected the short-term practical expedient for all leases that qualify. As a result, the Company will not recognize right-of-use assets or liabilities for short-term leases that qualify for the short-term practical expedient, but instead will recognize the lease payments as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees. Short-term leases and sublease arrangements are immaterial. Equipment leases primarily consist of food and beverage and digital equipment. Impairment of Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles and theatre assets (including operating lease right-of-use assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company identifies impairments related to internal use software when management determines that the remaining carrying value of the software will not be realized through future use. The Company evaluates events or circumstances, including competition in the markets where it operates, that would indicate the carrying value of the asset groups may not be fully recoverable. If an event or circumstance is identified indicating carrying value may not be recoverable, the sum of future undiscounted cash flows is compared to the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the asset group may be impaired. If the asset group is determined to be impaired, the carrying value of the asset group is reduced to fair value as estimated by a discounted cash flow model, with the difference recorded as an impairment charge. Asset groups are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The Company evaluates theatres using historical and projected data of theatre level cash flow as its primary indicator of potential impairment and considers the seasonality of its business when making these evaluations. The fair value of assets is determined as either the expected selling price less selling costs (where appropriate) or the present value of the estimated future cash flows, adjusted as necessary for market participant factors. There is considerable management judgment necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair values of the Company’s theatres and other long-lived assets, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy, see Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements. 100 Table of Contents The following table summarizes the Company’s assets that were impaired: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 ​ 2020 Impairment of long-lived assets ​ $ 133.1 ​ $ 77.2 ​ $ 177.9 Impairment of definite-lived intangible assets ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 14.4 Impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 15.2 Impairment of goodwill (1) ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 2,306.4 Impairment of long-lived assets, definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill ​ ​ 133.1 ​ ​ 77.2 ​ ​ 2,513.9 Impairment of equity method investments recorded in equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 8.6 Impairment of other assets recorded in investment expense (income) ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 15.9 Total impairment loss ​ $ 133.1 ​ $ 77.2 ​ $ 2,538.4 (1) See Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets for information regarding goodwill impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 73.4 million on 68 theatres in the U.S. markets with 817 screens (in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) and $ 59.7 million on 53 theatres in the International markets with 456 screens (in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK), which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 61.3 million on 77 theatres in the U.S. markets with 805 screens and $ 15.9 million on 14 theatres in the International markets with 118 screens, which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 152.2 million on 101 theatres in the U.S. markets with 1,139 screens and $ 25.4 million on 37 theatres with 340 screens, which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment losses related to definite-lived intangible assets of $ 14.4 million in the U.S. markets. For indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Company recorded impairment charges related to the Odeon trade name of $ 12.5 million and Nordic trade names of $ 2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment losses in the International markets related to equity method investments of $ 8.6 million in equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment losses of $ 15.9 million within investment expense (income), related to equity interest investments without a readily determinable fair value accounted for under the cost method in the U.S. markets. Foreign Currency Translation. Operations outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange. The resultant translation adjustments are included in foreign currency translation adjustment, a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings (loss), except those intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature. If the Company substantially liquidates its investment in a foreign entity, any gain or loss on currency translation or transaction balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded as part of a gain or loss on disposition. Employee Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and frozen defined benefit pension plans in the U.K. and Sweden. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan, which was terminated on May 3, 2021 and liquidated during 2022, and also various defined contribution plans. 101 Table of Contents The following table sets forth the plans’ benefit obligations and plan assets and the accrued liability for benefit costs included in the consolidated balance sheets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits ​ ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Aggregated projected benefit obligation at end of period (1) ​ $ ( 79.7 ) ​ $ ( 111.5 ) ​ $ ( 66.8 ) ​ $ ( 125.0 ) Aggregated fair value of plan assets at end of period ​ 59.2 ​ 84.3 ​ 73.1 ​ 126.0 Net (liability) asset for benefit cost - funded status ​ $ ( 20.5 ) ​ $ ( 27.2 ) ​ $ 6.3 ​ $ 1.0 (1) At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, U.S. aggregated accumulated benefit obligations were $ 79.7 million and $ 111.5 million, respectively, and International aggregated accumulated benefit obligations were $ 66.8 million and $ 125.0 million, respectively. The Company does not expect to make a material contribution to the U.S. pension plans during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company intends to make future cash contributions to the plans in an amount necessary to meet minimum funding requirements according to applicable benefit plan regulations. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits ​ ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 Discount rate 4.97 % ​ 2.66 % ​ 4.82 % ​ 1.79 % Rate of compensation increase N/A ​ N/A ​ 2.19 % ​ 2.28 % ​ The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits ​ ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 Discount rate 2.66 % ​ 2.26 % ​ 3.07 % ​ 1.79 % ​ 1.78 % ​ 1.97 % Weighted average expected long-term return on plan assets 6.56 % ​ 6.57 % ​ 6.70 % ​ 1.57 % ​ 1.28 % ​ 2.15 % Rate of compensation increase N/A ​ N/A ​ N/A ​ 2.28 % ​ 2.29 % ​ 2.27 % ​ The offset to the pension liability is recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss. For further information, see Note 14—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for pension amounts and activity recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, net periodic benefit costs (credits) were $( 0.6 ) million, $( 0.9 ) million, and $ 1.8 million, respectively. The non-operating component of net periodic benefit costs is recorded in other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, before the Sweden pension benefit plan was frozen, the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost was recorded in general and administrative other. 102 Table of Contents The following table provides the benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years, and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (In millions) ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits 2023 ​ $ 4.6 ​ $ 3.0 2024 ​ 4.5 ​ ​ 3.1 2025 ​ 4.7 ​ ​ 3.1 2026 ​ 4.9 ​ ​ 3.2 2027 ​ 5.0 ​ ​ 3.3 Years 2028 - 2031 ​ 26.9 ​ ​ 17.8 ​ The Company’s investment objectives for its U.S. defined benefit pension plan investments are: (1) to preserve the value of its principal; (2) to maximize a real long-term return with respect to the plan assets consistent with minimizing risk; (3) to achieve and maintain adequate asset coverage for accrued benefits under the plan; and (4) to maintain sufficient liquidity for payment of the plan obligations and expenses. The Company uses a diversified allocation of equity, debt, commodity and real estate exposures that are customized to the plan’s cash flow benefit needs. A weighted average targeted allocation percentage is assigned to each asset class as follows: equity securities of 37 %, debt securities of 59 %, and private real estate of 4 %. The International pension benefit plans do not have an established asset target allocation. Investments in the pension plan assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of December 31, 2022, for the U.S. investment portfolio, 90 % were valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and 10 % of the investment included pooled separate accounts valued using market prices for the underlying instruments that were observable in the market or could be derived by observable market data from independent external valuation information (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). As of December 31, 2022, for the International investment portfolio 1 % consisting of cash and equivalents was valued using quoted market prices from actively traded markets (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy), 38 % included mutual funds and collective trust funds valued using market prices for the underlying instruments that were observable in the market or could be derived by observable market data from independent external valuation information (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) and 61 % were valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company sponsors a voluntary 401(k) savings plan covering certain U.S. employees age 21 or older and who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Under the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan, except during the 2020 furlough period, the Company matched 100 % of each eligible employee’s elective contributions up to 3 % and 50 % of contributions up to 5 % of the employee’s eligible compensation. Income and Operating Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10. Under ASC 740-10, deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax return purposes are recorded by the asset and liability method. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of deferred income or expense items and recognizes changes in income tax laws in the period of enactment. Holdings and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and combined income tax returns in certain state jurisdictions. Foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in foreign jurisdictions. Income taxes are determined based on separate Company computations of income or loss. Tax sharing arrangements are in place and utilized when tax benefits from affiliates in the consolidated group are used to offset what would otherwise be taxable income generated by Holdings or another affiliate. Casualty Insurance. The Company is self-insured for general liability up to $ 1.0 million per occurrence and carries a $ 0.5 million deductible limit per occurrence for workers’ compensation claims. The Company utilizes actuarial projections of its ultimate losses to calculate its reserves and expense. The actuarial method includes an allowance for adverse developments on known claims and an allowance for claims which have been incurred but which have not yet been reported. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded casualty insurance reserves of $ 30.7 million and $ 34.6 million, respectively. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers’ compensation claims of $ 49.8 million, $ 37.1 million, and $ 32.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Casualty insurance expense is recorded in operating expense. 103 Table of Contents Government Assistance. The Company recognizes government assistance when the conditions of the grant have been met and there is reasonable assurance that the assistance will be received. Grants relating to specific costs are treated as a reduction of that cost in the consolidated statement of operations. General grants are recorded within other expense (income). Grants related to the construction of long-lived assets are treated as reductions to the cost of the associated assets. During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company recognized government assistance in other income of $ 25.8 million, primarily related to grants in Italy and Germany. The general requirements of the grants were that the grantees must have lost income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Germany, the grants can potentially be subject to a final audit, however the Company believes the risk of claw-back is remote and therefore have recognized the entire award received. Additionally, the Company recognized $ 1.9 million of government assistance as reduction to property, net during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The assistance relates to the construction of capital assets related to the innovation, modernization, and digitalization of the theatrical exhibition industry.

The Company typically does not believe that exercise of the renewal options is reasonably certain at the lease commencement and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index and other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement. Equipment leases primarily consist of food and beverage equipment. The Company received rent concessions provided by the lessors that aided in mitigating the economic effects of COVID-19 during the pandemic. These concessions primarily consisted of rent abatements and the deferral of rent payments. In instances where there were no substantive changes to the lease terms, i.e., modifications that resulted in total payments of the modified lease being substantially the same or less than the total payments of the existing lease, the Company elected the relief as provided by the FASB staff related to the accounting for certain lease concessions. The Company elected not to account for these concessions as a lease modification, and therefore the Company has remeasured the related lease liability and right-of-use asset but did not reassess the lease classification or change the discount rate to the current rate in effect upon the remeasurement. The deferred payment amounts have been recorded in the Company’s lease liabilities to reflect the change in the timing of payments. The deferred payment amounts included in current maturities of operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities are reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of the change in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Those leases that did not meet the criteria for treatment under the FASB relief were evaluated as lease modifications. The deferred payment amounts included in accounts payable for contractual rent amounts due and not paid are reflected in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets and in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of the change in accounts payable. In addition, the Company included deferred lease payments in operating lease right-of-use assets as a result of lease remeasurements. A summary of deferred payment amounts related to rent obligations for which payments were deferred to 2023 and future years are provided below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of ​ ​ ​ As of ​ ​ December 31, ​ Decrease ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ 2021 ​ in deferred amounts ​ 2022 Fixed operating lease deferred amounts (1) ​ $ 299.3 ​ $ ( 149.0 ) ​ $ 150.3 Finance lease deferred amounts ​ ​ 2.4 ​ ​ ( 1.5 ) ​ ​ 0.9 Variable lease deferred amounts ​ ​ 13.4 ​ ​ ( 7.4 ) ​ ​ 6.0 Total deferred lease amounts ​ $ 315.1 ​ $ ( 157.9 ) ​ $ 157.2 (1) During the year ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in fixed operating lease deferred amounts includes $ 144.6 million of decreases in the deferred balances as of December 31, 2021 related to payments and abatements. ​ 108 Table of Contents The following table reflects the lease costs for the years indicated below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ Consolidated Statements of Operations ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ 2020 Operating lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Theatre properties ​ Rent ​ $ 812.0 ​ $ 775.4 ​ $ 813.7 Theatre properties ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 5.4 ​ ​ 1.1 ​ ​ 2.8 Equipment ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 8.6 ​ ​ 10.7 ​ ​ 14.6 Office and other ​ General and administrative: other ​ ​ 5.3 ​ ​ 5.4 ​ ​ 5.4 Finance lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amortization of finance lease assets ​ Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 2.6 ​ ​ 4.6 ​ ​ 6.7 Interest expense on lease liabilities ​ Finance lease obligations ​ ​ 4.1 ​ ​ 5.2 ​ ​ 5.9 Variable lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Theatre properties ​ Rent ​ ​ 74.2 ​ ​ 52.6 ​ ​ 70.4 Equipment ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 60.0 ​ ​ 43.4 ​ ​ 6.4 Total lease cost ​ ​ ​ $ 972.2 ​ $ 898.4 ​ $ 925.9 ​ The following table represents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate as of December 31, 2022: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, 2022 ​ ​ Weighted Average ​ Weighted Average ​ ​ Remaining ​ Discount Lease Term and Discount Rate ​ Lease Term (years) ​ Rate Operating leases ​ ​ 9.4 ​ ​ 10.0 % Finance leases ​ ​ 13.6 ​ ​ 6.4 % ​ Cash flow and supplemental information is presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating cash flows used in finance leases ​ $ ( 3.8 ) ​ $ ( 2.9 ) ​ $ ( 3.2 ) Operating cash flows used in operating leases ​ ​ ( 1,032.4 ) ​ ​ ( 883.2 ) ​ ​ ( 446.5 ) Financing cash flows used in finance leases ​ ​ ( 9.4 ) ​ ​ ( 9.0 ) ​ ​ ( 6.2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Landlord contributions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating cashflows provided by operating leases ​ ​ 19.9 ​ ​ 22.0 ​ ​ 43.6 Supplemental disclosure of noncash leasing activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities (1) ​ ​ 277.3 ​ ​ 196.6 ​ ​ 201.5 ​ (1) Includes lease extensions and option exercises. 109 Table of Contents Minimum annual payments required under existing operating and finance leases and the net present value thereof as of December 31, 2022 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating Lease ​ Financing Lease (In millions) ​ Payments (2) ​ Payments (2) 2023 (1) ​ $ 973.2 ​ ​ 9.1 2024 ​ ​ 862.1 ​ ​ 8.2 2025 ​ ​ 812.7 ​ ​ 7.5 2026 ​ ​ 748.0 ​ ​ 7.3 2027 ​ ​ 684.9 ​ ​ 7.4 Thereafter ​ ​ 3,318.6 ​ ​ 51.1 Total lease payments ​ ​ 7,399.5 ​ ​ 90.6 Less imputed interest ​ ​ ( 2,579.5 ) ​ ​ ( 31.8 ) Total operating and finance lease liabilities, respectively ​ $ 4,820.0 ​ $ 58.8 (1) The minimum annual payments table above does not include contractual cash rent amounts that were due and not paid, which are recorded in accounts payable as shown below, including estimated repayment dates: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accounts Payable (In millions) ​ Lease Payments Twelve months ended December 31, 2023 ​ $ 24.9 ​ (2) The minimum annual payments table above includes deferred undiscounted cash rent amounts that were due and not paid related to operating and finance leases, as shown below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating Lease ​ Financing Lease (In millions) ​ Payments ​ Payments 2023 ​ $ 81.7 ​ $ 0.6 2024 ​ ​ 15.9 ​ ​ — 2025 ​ ​ 5.7 ​ ​ — 2026 ​ ​ 4.2 ​ ​ — 2027 ​ ​ 3.4 ​ ​ — Thereafter ​ ​ 20.8 ​ ​ — Total deferred lease amounts ​ $ 131.7 ​ $ 0.6 ​ As of December 31, 2022, the Company had signed additional operating lease agreements for three theatres that have not yet commenced of approximately $ 78.9 million, which are expected to commence between 2023 and 2024, and carry lease terms of approximately 10 to 20 years . The timing of lease commencement is dependent on the landlord providing the Company with control and access to the related facility. ​ ​ ​ 110 Table of Contents NOTE 4— PROPERTY ​ A summary of property is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Property owned: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Land ​ $ 73.7 ​ $ 83.2 ​ Buildings and improvements ​ 209.4 ​ 215.1 ​ Leasehold improvements ​ 1,880.8 ​ 1,852.4 ​ Furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 2,354.3 ​ 2,334.8 ​ ​ ​ 4,518.2 ​ 4,485.5 ​ Less: accumulated depreciation ​ 2,838.4 ​ 2,572.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ 1,679.8 ​ ​ 1,913.5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Property leased under finance leases: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Building and improvements ​ ​ 54.8 ​ ​ 60.4 ​ Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 15.4 ​ ​ 11.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ 39.4 ​ ​ 49.0 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,719.2 ​ $ 1,962.5 ​ ​ Property is recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of property resulting from acquisitions. The Company uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements and buildings subject to a ground lease reflect the shorter of the expected useful lives of the assets or the base terms of the corresponding lease agreements for these leases for assets placed in service subsequent to the lease inception. The estimated useful lives are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Buildings and improvements 1 to 40 years Leasehold improvements ​ 1 to 20 years ​ Furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 1 to 15 years ​ ​ Expenditures for additions (including interest during construction) and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property disposals are included in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2022, include interests in DCDC of 14.6 %, AC JV, owner of Fathom Events, of 32.0 %, SV Holdco, owner of Screenvision, of 18.3 %, DCM of 50.0 %, and SCC of 10.0 %. The Company also has partnership interests in three U.S. motion picture theatres and approximately 50.0 % interest in 57 theatres in Europe. Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company. Investment in Hycroft On March 14, 2022, the Company purchased 23.4 million units of Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: HYMC) (“Hycroft”) for $ 27.9 million, with each unit consisting of one common share of Hycroft and one common share purchase warrant. The units were priced at $ 1.193 per unit. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share of Hycroft at a price of $ 1.068 per share over a 5-year term through March 2027. Hycroft filed a resale registration statement to register the common shares and warrant shares for the sale under Securities Act on April 14, 2022 which became effective on June 2, 2022. The Company accounts for the common shares of Hycroft under the equity method and we have elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10. The Company account for the warrants as derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the fair value of the investments in Hycroft are remeasured at each subsequent reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are reported in investment income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded unrealized losses related to the investment in Hycroft of $ 6.3 million in investment expense (income), respectively. NCM Transactions Pursuant to the Company’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, from time to time common units of NCM held by the Founding Members will be adjusted up or down through a formula (“Common Unit Adjustment” or “CUA”), primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. The CUA is computed annually, except that an earlier CUA will occur for a Founding Member if its acquisition or disposition of theatres, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent CUA, will cause a change of 2 % or more in the total annual attendance of all of the Founding Members. In the event that a CUA is determined to be a negative number, the Founding Member shall cause, at its election, either (a) the transfer and surrender to NCM of a number of common units equal to all or part of such Founding Member’s CUA or (b) pay to NCM an amount equal to such Founding Member’s CUA calculated in accordance with the CUA Agreement. In March 2020, the NCM CUA resulted in a positive adjustment of 1,390,566 common units for the Company. The Company received the units and recorded the common units as an addition to deferred revenues for the ESA at fair value of $ 4.8 million, based upon a price per share of National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”) of $ 3.46 on March 12, 2020. In March 2021, the NCM CUA resulted in a negative adjustment of 3,012,738 common units for the Company, and therefore, the Company paid NCM cash of $ 9.2 million and recorded the amount as a reduction to deferred revenues for the ESA. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold its remaining approximately 1.4 million NCM shares and received net proceeds of $ 5.7 million, which were recorded in investment expense (income). In March 2022, the NCM CUA resulted in a positive adjustment of 5,954,646 common units for the Company. The Company received the units and recorded the common units as an addition to deferred revenues for the ESA at a fair value of $ 15.0 million, based upon a price per share of NCM, Inc. of $ 2.52 on March 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold its shares of NCM, Inc. for $ 1.5 million and recorded a realized loss in investment expense of $ 13.5 million. See Note 1 — The Company and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 — Revenue Recognition for further information regarding CUA and ESA. DCIP Transactions During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received cash distribution of $ 12.2 million from DCIP, which the Company recorded as a reduction to its investment in DCIP. The distribution reduced the Company’s recorded investment below $ 0 and therefore the Company recorded equity in earnings of $ 4.0 million to increase its investment to $ 0 as the Company has not guaranteed any of the liabilities of DCIP. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received distributions from DCIP of digital projectors it had been leasing with an estimated fair value of $ 125.2 million, which the Company recorded as a reduction to its investment in DCIP. DCIP ceased operations 113 Table of Contents during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company received a liquidation distribution of $ 3.4 million from DCIP, which the Company recorded as equity in earnings. The Company will record any future liquidation distributions to equity in earnings. AC JV Transactions On December 26, 2013, the Company amended and restated its existing ESA with NCM in connection with the spin-off by NCM of its Fathom Events business to AC JV, a newly-formed company owned 32 % by each of the Founding Members and 4 % by NCM. AC JV distributes alternative content to theatre exhibitors. As of December 31, 2019, Cinemark and Regal also amended and restated their respective ESAs with NCM in connection with the spin-off. The ESAs were modified to remove those provisions addressing the rights and obligations related to digital programing services of the Fathom Events business. Those provisions are now contained in the Amended and Restated Digital Programming Exhibitor Services Agreements (the “Digital ESAs”) that were entered into on December 26, 2013 by NCM and each of the Founding Members. These Digital ESAs were then assigned by NCM to AC JV as part of the Fathom spin-off.

This cancellation agreement was a contingent call option for the forfeiture shares, which was a freestanding derivative measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which was a Level 3 estimate of fair value. The initial derivative asset of $ 10.7 million was offset by a credit to stockholders’ equity related to the Class B common stock purchase and cancellation. The forfeiture shares feature was not clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes due 2024 host and it was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative asset measured at fair value through earnings each reporting period until the conversion feature reset on September 14, 2020, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as other expense or income. For the year ended December 31, 2020, this resulted in other expense (income) of $ 19.6 million related to the derivative asset fair value adjustment for contingent call option related to the Class B common stock purchase and cancellation agreement.

See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. Class B Common Stock On January 27, 2021, pursuant to the Stock Repurchase and Cancellation Agreement with Wanda dated as of September 14, 2018, and in connection with the Conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2026 into shares of the Company’s Common Stock by Silver Lake and certain co-investors, 5,666,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock and 5,666,000 AMC Preferred Equity Units held by Wanda were forfeited and cancelled. On February 1, 2021, Wanda exercised their right to convert all outstanding Class B common stock of 46,103,784 and 46,103,784 of AMC Preferred Equity Units to Common Stock thereby reducing the number of outstanding Class B common stock to zero, which resulted in the retirement of Class B common stock.

Dividends Since April 24, 2020, the Company has been prohibited from making dividend payments in accordance with the covenant suspension conditions in its Credit Agreement (for further information see Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 on this Annual Report on Form 10-K). The following is a summary of dividends and dividend equivalents declared to stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2020: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amount per ​ Amount per ​ Total Amount ​ ​ ​ Share of Share of AMC Declared Declaration Date ​ Record Date ​ Date Paid ​ Common Stock ​ Preferred Equity Units ​ (In millions) February 26, 2020 ​ March 9, 2020 ​ March 23, 2020 ​ $ 0.015 ​ $ 0.015 ​ $ 3.2 ​ During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $ 6.5 million and accrued $ 0.4 million for the remaining unpaid dividends at December 31, 2020. The aggregate dividends paid for Common Stock, AMC Preferred Equity Units, Class B common stock, and dividend equivalents were approximately $ 0.8 million, $ 0.8 million, $ 1.6 million, and $ 3.3 million, respectively. Related Party Transactions On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with Silver Lake, relating to the issuance to Silver Lake (or its designated affiliates) of $ 600.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2024 and entered into an amended and restated investment agreement with Silver Lake, relating to the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2026 on August 31, 2020. See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for information regarding the conversion of the $ 600.0 million principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes due 2026 into shares of the Company’s Common Stock in January 2021. As a result of the conversion, Silver Lake was no longer a related party of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased $ 15.0 million aggregate principal of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 from Antara, which subsequently became a related party on February 7, 2023, for $ 5.9 million and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $ 12.0 million. See Note 16—Subsequent Events for more information on transactions with Antara. Treasury Stock On February 27, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase of up to $ 200.0 million shares of Common Stock and up to $ 200.0 million shares of 133 Table of Contents AMC Preferred Equity Units. As of April 24, 2020, the Company is prohibited from making purchases under its authorized stock repurchase program in accordance with the covenant suspension conditions in its Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, $ 200.0 million remained available for repurchase under this plan. A three-year time limit had been set for the completion of this program, expiring February 26, 2023. Special Dividend ​ On August 4, 2022 the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend for one AMC Preferred Equity Unit for each share of Class A common stock outstanding at the close of business August 15, 2022, the record date. The dividend was paid at the close of business August 19, 2022 to investors who held Class A common shares as of August 22, 2022, the ex-dividend date. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit is a depositary share and represents an interest in one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock evidenced by a depositary receipt pursuant to a deposit agreement. The Company has 50,000,000 Preferred Stock shares authorized, 10,000,000 of which have currently have been allocated and 7,245,872 have been issued under the depositary agreement as a Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, leaving 40,000,000 unallocated Preferred Stock shares. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit is designed to have the same economic and voting rights as a share of Class A common stock. Trading of the AMC Preferred Equity Units on the NYSE began on August 22, 2022 under the ticker symbol “APE”. Due to the characteristics of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the special dividend had the effect of a stock split pursuant to ASC 505-20-25-4. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures include Class A common stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units and have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the special stock dividend as a stock split. Stock-Based Compensation ​ 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ​ The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“EIP”), provides for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs), stock awards, and cash performance awards. The maximum number of equity interests in Holdings available for delivery pursuant to awards granted under the EIP is 15 million shares of Common Stock and 7,306,354 AMC Preferred Equity Units. At December 31, 2022, the aggregate number of equity interests in Holdings available for grant was 4,293,562 shares and 4,293,562 units, respectively. The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense recorded within general and administrative: other: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ 2020 Board of director stock award expense ​ $ 0.8 ​ $ 0.9 ​ $ 0.5 Restricted stock unit expense ​ ​ 13.3 ​ ​ 12.6 ​ ​ 9.7 Performance stock unit expense ​ ​ 8.4 ​ ​ 24.5 ​ ​ 1.2 Special performance stock unit expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ 5.1 ​ ​ 14.0 Total stock-based compensation expense ​ $ 22.5 ​ $ 43.1 ​ $ 25.4 ​ As of December 31, 2022, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation arrangements was approximately $ 15.1 million. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately 1.3 years. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. 134 Table of Contents Plan Amendment due to stock split ​ The 2013 Plan contemplates equitable adjustments for certain transactions such as a stock split. On August 19, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an adjustment to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to entitle each participant one AMC Preferred Equity Unit and one share of Common Stock for each RSU or PSU that vests. The Company determined that this modification was a Type 1 (probable-to-probable) modification that did not increase the fair value of the award and therefore did not require additional stock-based compensation expense to be recognized. References made to share, per share, or common share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split. ​ Awards Granted in 2022, 2021, and 2020 and Other Activity ​ AMC’s Board of Directors approved awards of stock, RSUs, and PSUs to certain of the Company’s employees and directors under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. During years 2022, 2021, and 2020, the grant date fair value of these awards was based on the closing price of AMC’s stock on the date of grant, which ranged from $ 1.18 to $ 9.84 per share. A dividend equivalent for restricted stock units and performance stock units equal to the amount paid in respect of one share of Common Stock and one AMC Preferred Equity Unit underlying the unit began to accrue with respect to the unit on the date of grant. Such accrued dividend equivalents are paid to the holder upon vesting of the units. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock and one AMC Preferred Equity Unit at a future date. The award agreements generally had the following features: ● Board of Director Stock Award Agreement: The Company granted fully vested shares of Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units to its independent members of AMC’s Board of Directors during the years ended December 31, 2022, Decembers 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2020 Common Stock ​ 41,650 ​ 124,054 ​ 77,090 AMC Preferred Equity Units ​ 41,650 ​ 124,054 ​ 77,090 ​ ● Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement: The Company granted RSU awards of 1,394,270 , 5,375,626 , 3,022,594 to certain members of management during the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company records stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line recognition method over the requisite vesting period. The RSUs granted during 2022, 2021, and 2020 vest over three years with 1/3 vesting in each year. These RSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting. ● Restricted Stock Unit Award Executive Agreement: During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted RSU awards of 400,000 to an executive officer (“2019 RSU executive”) of the Company with one-half vesting on the first anniversary of employment on December 2, 2020 and the remaining one-half vesting ratably over a three year period ending on December 2, 2022. All unvested RSUs shall be forfeited upon termination of services. These RSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting. ● Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement: 2022 PSU Awards. During 2022, 1,394,270 total PSUs were awarded (“2022 PSU award”) to certain members of management and executive officers, with the total PSUs divided into three separate year tranches, with each tranche allocated to a fiscal year within the performance period (“Tranche Year”). The PSUs within each Tranche Year are further divided between two performance targets; the Adjusted EBITDA performance target and free cash flow performance target. The 2022 PSU awards will vest based on achieving 80 % to 120 % of the performance targets, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50 % to 200 % . If the performance targets are met at 100%, the 2022 PSU awards will vest at 1,394,270 units in the aggregate. No PSUs will vest for each Tranche Year if the Company does not achieve 80% of the Tranche Year’s Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow targets. The Compensation Committee establishes the annual performance targets at the beginning of each year. 135 Table of Contents Therefore, the grant date (and fair value measurement date) for each Tranche Year is the date at the beginning of each year when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions are reached per ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The 2022 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2022 Tranche Year award was approximately $ 4.5 million and the 2021 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2022 Tranche Year award of 1,757,080 units was approximately $ 17.3 million, measured using performance targets at 100 %. The 2020 PSU Award for the 2022 Tranche Year was previously granted in 2020, and was subsequently modified on October 30, 2020 where the grant date fair value was not determined until February 16, 2022 when the performance targets were established. As a result, the 2020 PSU award grant date for the 2022 Tranche Year award of 859,366 units was approximately $ 8.5 million, measured using performance targets at 100 %. At December 31, 2022, the 2022 Tranche Year target performance conditions for both the annual Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow were achieved at 0 % and 79 %, respectively. 2021 PSU Awards. On February 23, 2021, 5,375,626 total PSUs were awarded (“2021 PSU award”) to certain members of management and executive officers, with the total PSUs divided into three separate year tranches, with each tranche allocated to a fiscal year within the performance period (“Tranche Year”). The PSUs within each Tranche Year are further divided between two performance targets; the Adjusted EBITDA performance target and free cash flow performance target. The 2021 PSU awards will vest based on achieving 80 % to 120 % of the performance targets, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50 % to 200 % (or 30 % to 200 % for PSU awards granted prior to year 2020). If the performance targets are met at 100 %, the 2021 PSU awards will vest at 5,375,626 units in the aggregate. No PSUs will vest for each Tranche Year if the Company does not achieve 80% of the Tranche Year’s Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow targets. November 3, 2021 modification. On November 3, 2021, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification to the PSUs for the awards granted in 2021 and 2020. The service condition modification included separating the vesting period subject to the participant’s continued employment through the end of the three-year cumulative period into three separate year service periods applicable to each tranche year. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 718-20, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as a Type I modification (probable-to-probable) with no change to the fair value measurement of the awards. 2020 PSU Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2020, PSU awards of 2,872,594 were granted to certain members of management and executive officers, with three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow target conditions and service conditions, covering a performance period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2022, prior to the service condition and performance condition modifications on November 3, 2021 and October 30, 2020, respectively. 2019 PSU Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2019, PSU awards of 1,460,334 were granted to certain members of management and executive officers, with three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and diluted earnings per share performance target conditions and service conditions, covering a performance period beginning January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, prior to the service condition and performance condition modifications on November 3, 2021 and October 30, 2020, respectively. 2018 PSU Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2018, PSU awards of 1,307,338 were granted to certain members of management and executive officers with three-year cumulative net profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and diluted earnings per share performance target conditions and service conditions, covering a performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2020, prior to the performance condition modification on October 30, 2020. October 30, 2020 modification. On October 30, 2020, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification to the PSUs for the awards granted in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The modification included separating the three-year cumulative performance targets into three separate year performance targets applicable to each tranche year. Due to the dramatic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, the Board of Directors waived attainment of the 2020 tranche year performance targets and established a vesting level for such PSUs at 90 %. In addition, the service conditions were modified, and vesting is now subject to the participant’s continued employment through the end of the three-year cumulative period. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 718-20, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as an 136 Table of Contents exchange of the original award, that was not expected to vest, for a new award. The Company measured the fair value of the new award on the modification date, October 30, 2020, because the Company determined that achieving performance thresholds were probable for certain tranche awards. ● Special Performance Stock Unit Executive Award Agreement: During the year ended December 31, 2019, a PSU market condition award of 600,000 was granted to an executive officer of the Company that would vest based upon achieving target prices for the Company’s Common Stock. This award was subsequently cancelled and replaced with the PSU market condition award granted on February 26, 2020. On February 26, 2020 and March 5, 2020, special performance stock unit awards (“SPSUs”), totaling 7,140,000 units were granted to certain executive officers that will vest based upon achieving target prices for the Company’s Class Common Stock. The SPSUs are eligible to vest in tranches contingent upon (i) the attainment of certain 20 trading day volume weighted average closing prices and (ii) fulfillment of the three-year service requirement from the date of grant. The vested SPSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting. Any unvested SPSUs remaining after 10 years will be forfeited. If service is terminated prior to the three year anniversary from the date of grant, unvested SPSUs shall be forfeited. The target prices and vesting tranches are set forth in the table below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tranche ​ Target Stock Price ​ SPSUs Vesting 1 ​ $ 12.00 ​ 1,190,006 2 ​ $ 16.00 ​ 1,190,006 3 ​ $ 20.00 ​ 1,190,006 4 ​ $ 24.00 ​ 1,190,006 5 ​ $ 28.00 ​ 1,189,988 6 ​ $ 32.00 ​ 1,189,988 ​ The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the SPSUs. This model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the market conditions will be achieved. The Company used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of the SPSUs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Assumptions Expected stock price volatility ​ 45.0 % Expected dividend yield ​ 2.02 % and 2.44 % Risk-free interest rate ​ 1.33 % and 0.92 % Grant-date stock price ​ $ 5.93 and $ 4.92 ​ The expected stock price volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for a period equivalent to the derived service period. The expected dividend yield is based on annual expected dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate was based on the treasury yield rates as of the date of grant for a period equivalent to the performance measurement period. The fair value of each SPSU is amortized over the requisite or derived service period, which is up to 6.4 years. The SPSUs granted on February 26, 2020 and March 5, 2020 have a grant date fair value of approximately $ 12.2 million. On October 30, 2020, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification to the SPSUs for the awards. Each SPSU award agreement was amended as follows: ● The stock price thresholds (ranging from $ 12 to $ 24 ) and service requirement for tranches 1 through 4 of the SPSUs were eliminated and such SPSUs vested on October 30, 2020; ● Participants shall be prohibited from selling the shares of Common Stock issued upon the foregoing vesting until October 30, 2021; ● The stock price threshold for tranche 5 of the SPSUs was changed to $ 4 from $ 28 and the stock price threshold for tranche 6 of the SPSUs was changed to $ 8 from $ 32 ; and ● The service requirement for tranches 5 and 6 was shortened to end on October 30, 2021. As a result of the SPSU modification of market conditions, the incremental fair value amount assigned to the grant date fair value was approximately $ 7.3 million in accordance with ASC 718-20, Compensation-Stock Compensation. In January 2021, the market condition requirement for SPSUs was met as a result of 137 Table of Contents exceeding the 20-day trailing volume weighted average stock price threshold target for tranche 5 and tranche 6 of $ 4 and $ 8 , respectively. The stock-based compensation costs for SPSUs were recorded on a straight-line basis through October 30, 2021, which was the end of the service requirement period. The following table represents the nonvested RSU and PSU activity for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ Shares of RSU ​ Grant Date ​ ​ and PSU ​ Fair Value Beginning balance at January 1, 2020 ​ 6,540,186 ​ $ 7.94 Granted ​ 13,035,188 ​ ​ 2.33 Vested ​ ( 4,944,750 ) ​ ​ 4.31 Forfeited ​ ( 2,040,244 ) ​ ​ 8.49 Cancelled (1) ​ ( 4,271,858 ) ​ ​ 3.61 Beginning balance at January 1, 2021 (2) ​ 8,318,522 ​ $ 2.76 Granted ​ 10,178,468 ​ ​ 3.85 Vested ​ ( 1,297,720 ) ​ ​ 1.41 Forfeited ​ ( 433,546 ) ​ ​ 5.37 Cancelled (1) ​ ( 1,082,258 ) ​ ​ 1.41 Nonvested at January 1, 2022 ​ 15,683,466 ​ $ 3.96 Granted (3) ​ 1,674,802 ​ ​ 9.75 Vested ​ ( 5,636,324 ) ​ ​ 3.59 Forfeited ​ ( 716,872 ) ​ ​ 5.86 Cancelled (1) ​ ( 4,746,590 ) ​ ​ 3.59 Nonvested at December 31, 2022 (4) ​ 6,258,482 ​ $ 5.91 Tranche Years 2023 and 2024 awarded under the 2022 PSU award and Tranche Year 2023 awarded under the 2021 PSU award with grant date fair values to be determined in years 2023 and 2024, respectively ​ 2,523,692 ​ ​ ​ Total Nonvested at December 31, 2022 ​ 8,782,174 ​ ​ ​ (1) Represents vested RSUs, PSUs, and SPSUs surrendered in lieu of taxes and cancelled awards returned to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

(4) See Note 16 —Subsequent Events for information regarding vesting modifications to the 2022 PSUs. ​ ​ NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES Current income tax expense represents the amounts expected to be reported on the Company’s income tax returns, and deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods on a federal, state and foreign jurisdiction basis. The Company conducts its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, the 138 Table of Contents duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy, among others. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 for each taxing jurisdiction. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as the Company’s projections of future taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company remained in a cumulative loss over the past three-year period for the U.S. and international jurisdictions except for Finland. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets as well as international jurisdictions in which it operates, with the exception of Finland. During the first quarter of 2020, the severe impact of COVID-19 on operations in Germany and Spain caused the Company to conclude the realizability of deferred tax assets held in those jurisdictions does not meet the more likely than not standard. As such, a charge of $ 33.1 million and $ 40.1 million was recorded for Germany and Spain, respectively. On July 31, 2020, the Company consummated previously announced private offers to exchange its Existing Subordinated Notes for newly issued Second Lien Notes due 2026. See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. For US tax purposes the Company was required to recognize CODI on the difference between the face value of debt exchanged and the fair market value of the new debt issued. The Company recognized $ 1.2 billion of CODI for tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2020. IRS §108 provides relief from recognizing CODI as current taxable income to the extent that the tax paying legal entity is insolvent as defined by the US Tax Code. The Company determined that the level of its insolvency at July 31, 2020 exceeded the indicated amount of CODI resulting from the debt exchange. To the extent that an entity is insolvent, rather than recognize current taxable income, the entity may reduce its tax attributes including net operating losses, capital losses, tax credits, depreciable assets, investment in subsidiaries and other investments in the amount of the excluded CODI. The Company determined that $ 1.2 billion of its federal net operating losses would be eliminated as a result of the tax attribute reduction. The actual effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was ( 0.3 )%. The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowances in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, foreign tax rate differences, and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by permanent differences related to interest, compensation, and other discrete items. Additionally, the Company recorded an immaterial error correction resulting in a $ 152.5 million net increase in deferred tax assets which were fully reserved with a valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2022. The adjustment related to deferred tax assets associated with the cancellation of debt transactions which occurred during the period ended December 31, 2020. No tax impact was recorded on the $ 2,306.4 million goodwill impairment charge incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, as the portion impaired was permanently non-deductible. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $ 32.1 million and of $ 30.7 million, respectively. The income tax provision (benefit) reflected in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following components: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Current: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 0.1 ​ Foreign ​ 0.9 ​ 1.3 ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ State ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ( 3.9 ) ​ ( 4.1 ) ​ Total current ​ 0.8 ​ ( 2.6 ) ​ ( 4.1 ) ​ Deferred: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ 0.3 ​ ( 3.8 ) ​ 2.7 ​ Foreign ​ 0.7 ​ ( 2.1 ) ​ 57.6 ​ State ​ 0.7 ​ ( 1.7 ) ​ 3.7 ​ Total deferred ​ 1.7 ​ ( 7.6 ) ​ 64.0 ​ Total provision (benefit) ​ $ 2.5 ​ $ ( 10.2 ) ​ $ 59.9 ​ ​ 139 Table of Contents Pre-tax losses consisted of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Domestic ​ $ ( 685.8 ) ​ $ ( 1,029.5 ) ​ $ ( 3,036.4 ) ​ Foreign ​ ( 285.3 ) ​ ( 250.5 ) ​ ( 1,493.1 ) ​ Total ​ $ ( 971.1 ) ​ $ ( 1,280.0 ) ​ $ ( 4,529.5 ) ​ ​ The difference between the effective tax rate on net loss from continuing operations before income taxes and the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Income tax expense (benefit) at the federal statutory rate ​ $ ( 203.9 ) ​ $ ( 268.8 ) ​ $ ( 951.2 ) ​ Effect of: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ State income taxes ​ ( 30.9 ) ​ ( 46.9 ) ​ ( 89.5 ) ​ Increase in reserve for uncertain tax positions ​ — ​ ( 3.3 ) ​ ( 1.9 ) ​ Federal and state credits ​ ( 2.5 ) ​ ( 2.3 ) ​ ( 3.6 ) ​ Permanent items - goodwill impairment ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 456.3 ​ Permanent items - other ​ ​ 5.2 ​ ​ ( 3.1 ) ​ ​ 13.2 ​ Foreign rate differential ​ ​ ( 11.0 ) ​ ​ 4.3 ​ ​ 19.7 ​ Original issue discount ​ ​ ( 152.5 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ Other ​ ( 14.2 ) ​ ( 5.0 ) ​ 1.7 ​ Impact of UK tax rate change ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 34.3 ) ​ ​ — ​ Valuation allowance ​ 412.3 ​ 349.2 ​ 615.2 ​ Income tax expense (benefit) ​ $ 2.5 ​ $ ( 10.2 ) ​ $ 59.9 ​ Effective income tax rate ​ ( 0.3 ) % 0.8 % ( 1.3 ) % ​ The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 ​ ​ Deferred Income Tax ​ Deferred Income Tax (In millions) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Tangible assets $ — $ ( 111.7 ) $ — $ ( 131.7 ) ​ Right-of-use assets ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 935.3 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 1,023.4 ) ​ Accrued liabilities ​ 13.6 ​ — ​ 17.1 ​ — ​ Intangible assets ​ — ​ ( 113.9 ) ​ — ​ ( 111.9 ) ​ Receivables ​ 18.2 ​ — ​ 7.8 ​ — ​ Investments ​ 45.9 ​ — ​ 51.8 ​ — ​ Capital loss carryforwards ​ 2.0 ​ — ​ 1.6 ​ — ​ Pension and deferred compensation ​ 18.3 ​ — ​ 23.3 ​ — ​ Corporate borrowings ​ 121.9 ​ — ​ 35.2 ​ — ​ Disallowed interest ​ ​ 337.1 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 170.6 ​ ​ — ​ Deferred revenue ​ 172.6 ​ — ​ 180.6 ​ — ​ Lease liabilities ​ 1,208.0 ​ — ​ 1,304.9 ​ — ​ Finance lease obligations ​ 0.4 ​ — ​ 1.2 ​ — ​ Other credit carryovers ​ 27.7 ​ — ​ 25.4 ​ — ​ Net operating loss carryforwards ​ 676.1 ​ — ​ 530.9 ​ — ​ Total ​ $ 2,641.8 ​ $ ( 1,160.9 ) ​ $ 2,350.4 ​ $ ( 1,267.0 ) ​ Less: Valuation allowance ​ ( 1,513.0 ) ​ — ​ ( 1,114.1 ) ​ — ​ Net deferred income taxes ​ $ 1,128.8 ​ $ ( 1,160.9 ) ​ $ 1,236.3 ​ $ ( 1,267.0 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ 140 Table of Contents A rollforward of the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Additions ​ Charged ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at ​ Charged ​ (Credited) ​ ​ ​ ​ Beginning of ​ to ​ to Other ​ Balance at (In millions) Period Expenses(1) Accounts(2) End of Period Calendar Year 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Valuation allowance-deferred income tax assets ​ $ 1,114.1 ​ 412.3 ​ ( 13.4 ) ​ $ 1,513.0 Calendar Year 2021 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Valuation allowance-deferred income tax assets ​ $ 764.9 ​ 349.2 ​ — ​ $ 1,114.1 Calendar Year 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Valuation allowance-deferred income tax assets ​ $ 312.8 ​ 615.2 ​ ( 163.1 ) ​ $ 764.9 (1) The 2022 valuation allowance primarily relates to the Company’s increase in the current year’s federal, state, international net operating losses and the $ 152.5 million immaterial error correction, for which no benefit has been recognized. (2) Primarily relates to amounts resulting from the Company’s changes in deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowance that are not related to income statement activity as well as amounts charged to other comprehensive income. The Company has federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of $ 1,712.5 million. Approximately $ 320.6 million will expire between 2023 and 2036 and will be limited annually due to certain change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Approximately $ 1,391.9 million can be used indefinitely. The Company’s foreign net operating losses of $ 878.5 million can be used indefinitely except for approximately $ 10.6 million, which will expire in various amounts between years 2023 and 2033. The Company also has state income tax loss carryforwards of $ 2,293.2 million. Approximately $ 1,651.7 million may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years . Approximately $ 641.5 million can be used indefinitely. A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Balance at beginning of period ​ $ 8.3 ​ $ 33.5 ​ $ 31.0 Gross increases—current period tax positions ​ — ​ — ​ 4.8 Gross decreases—prior period tax positions ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 22.5 ) ​ ​ ( 1.3 ) Gross decreases—settlements with authorities ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 2.2 ) ​ ​ — Gross decreases—expiration of statute of limitations ​ ​ ( 0.9 ) ​ ​ ( 0.5 ) ​ ​ ( 1.0 ) Balance at end of period ​ $ 7.4 ​ $ 8.3 ​ $ 33.5 ​ The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. No interest expense or penalties related to federal uncertain tax positions have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. The Company analyzed and reviewed state uncertain tax positions to determine the necessity of accruing interest and penalties. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized no interest expense or penalties. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $ 0.6 million of interest expense and $ 0.4 million of penalties. The Company has no accrued interest and penalties for state uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, would be $ 0.2 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that none of its unrecognized tax positions related to state taxes will be recognized by the end of 2023 as a result of settlements or the expiration of statute of limitations. The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. An IRS examination of the tax year March 29, 2012 was settled in 2021 resulting in additional federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”). Generally, tax years beginning after December 31, 2002 are still open to examination by various taxing authorities. Additionally, as discussed above, the Company has NOL 141 Table of Contents carryforwards for tax years ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2022, in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions which have carryforwards of varying lengths of time. These NOLs are subject to adjustment based on the statute of limitations applicable to the return in which they are utilized, not the year in which they are generated. Various state, local and foreign income tax returns are also under examination by taxing authorities. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, disallowed business interest carryforward and other tax attributes became subject to the Section 382 ownership change limitation due to changes in our stock ownership on January 29, 2021. Management believes the Company’s ability to utilize these tax attributes has not been significantly limited by this event. ​ ​ ​ NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. On January 12, 2018 and January 19, 2018, two putative federal securities class actions, captioned Hawaii Structural Ironworkers Pension Trust Fund v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-00299-AJN (the “Hawaii Action”), and Nichols v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-00510-AJN (the “Nichols Action,” and together with the Hawaii Action, the “Actions”), respectively, were filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Actions, which named certain of the Company’s officers and directors and, in the case of the Hawaii Action, the underwriters of the Company’s February 8, 2017 secondary public offering, as defendants, asserted claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to alleged material misstatements and omissions in the registration statement for the secondary public offering and in certain other public disclosures. On May 30, 2018, the court consolidated the Actions. On January 22, 2019, defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint. On September 23, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. On March 2, 2020, plaintiffs moved to certify the purported class. On March 30, 2021, the court granted the motion to certify the class. On September 2, 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Actions for $ 18.0 million. The Company agreed to the settlement and the payment of the settlement amount to eliminate the distraction, burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation. The Company and the other defendants continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Actions. On November 1, 2021, the parties to the Actions signed a stipulation of settlement, which memorialized the terms of the agreement in principle, and which the plaintiffs filed with the court. Also on November 1, 2021, plaintiffs filed a motion to preliminarily approve the settlement. On November 8, 2021, the court preliminarily approved the settlement, approved the form of notice to be disseminated to class members, and scheduled a final fairness hearing on the settlement for February 10, 2022. On February 14, 2022, the court issued a final judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the action. On May 21, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Gantulga v. Aron, et al. , Case No. 2:18-cv-02262-JAR-TJJ (the “Gantulga Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The Gantulga Action, which was filed on behalf of the Company, asserts claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions. On October 12, 2018, the parties filed a joint motion to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which the court granted on October 15, 2018. When the action was transferred to the Southern District of New York, it was re-captioned Gantulga v. Aron, et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-10007- 142 Table of Contents AJN. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on December 17, 2018. The stay was lifted as of February 9, 2022. On October 2, 2019, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Kenna v. Aron , et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-09148-AJN (the “Kenna Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on October 17, 2019. On April 20, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The Kenna Action asserts claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions and the Gantulga Action. The stay was lifted as of February 9, 2022. On March 20, 2020, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Manuel v. Aron, et al ., Case No. 1:20-cv-02456-AJN (the “Manuel Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Manuel Action asserts claims under Sections 10(b), 21D, and 29(b) of the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions, the Gantulga Action, and the Kenna Action. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on May 18, 2020. On April 7, 2020, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Dinkevich v. Aron, et al ., Case No. 1:20-cv-02870-AJN (the “Dinkevich Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Dinkevich Action asserts the same claims as the Manuel Action based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions, the Gantulga Action, the Kenna Action, and the Manuel Action. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which was granted on June 25, 2020. On January 11, 2022, the court lifted the stay. On September 23, 2021, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Lyon v. Aron, et al. , Case No. 1:21-cv-07940-AJN (the “Lyon Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The Lyon Action asserts claims for contribution and indemnification under the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment/constructive trust based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions, the Gantulga Action, the Kenna Action, the Manuel Action, and the Dinkevich Action. On January 14, 2022, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. On December 31, 2019, the Company received a stockholder litigation demand, requesting that the Board investigate the allegations in the Actions and pursue claims on the Company’s behalf based on those allegations. On May 5, 2020, the Board determined not to pursue the claims sought in the demand at this time. On July 15, 2020, the Company received a second stockholder litigation demand requesting substantially the same action as the stockholder demand it received on December 31, 2019. On September 23, 2020, the Board determined not to pursue the claims sought in the demand at this time. On April 22, 2019, a putative stockholder class and derivative complaint, captioned Lao v. Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. , et al., C.A. No. 2019-0303-JRS (the “Lao Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s directors, Wanda, two of Wanda’s affiliates, Silver Lake, and one of Silver Lake’s affiliates in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Lao Action asserts claims directly, on behalf of a putative class of Company stockholders, and derivatively, on behalf of the Company, for breaches of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty with respect to transactions that the Company entered into with affiliates of Wanda and Silver Lake on September 14, 2018, and the special cash dividend of $ 1.55 per share of Common Stock that was payable on September 28, 2018 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of September 25, 2018. On July 18, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Litigation Committee to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the Lao Action and make a determination as to how the Company should proceed with respect to the Lao Action. On January 8, 2021, the Special Litigation Committee filed a report with the court recommending that the court dismiss all of the claims asserted in the Lao Action, and moved to dismiss all of the claims in the Lao Action. On June 6, 2022, the parties signed a stipulation of settlement to resolve the Lao Action for $ 17,375,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). Defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Amount solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, and continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Lao Action. On September 28, 2022, the court held a hearing to consider whether to approve the proposed settlement. At the hearing, the court requested a supplemental notice to stockholders prior to approval. A second hearing regarding approval of the settlement was held on November 30, 2022. Following the hearing, also on November 30, 2022, the court issued an order and final judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the action. The order and final judgment included a fee and expense award to Plaintiff’s counsel in the amount of $ 3,450,000 to be paid out of the 143 Table of Contents Settlement Amount. The remainder of the Settlement Amount was paid to the Company on January 6, 2023. See Note 16—Subsequent Events for further information. On December 27, 2022, the Company received a letter from a purported stockholder, demanding to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations concerning: (i) the proposal that was approved by the Board on January 27, 2021 to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) the Company’s creation, distribution, and/or sale of AMC Preferred Equity Units (“APEs”); (iii) the transactions between the Company and Antara Capital, LP that the Company announced on December 22, 2022 (the “Antara Transactions”); (iv) the special meeting of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and APEs to be held on March 14, 2023 for the purpose of voting on amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that, together and if approved, will enable the APEs to convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock: and (v) the independence of the members of the Board (the “December 27, 2022 Demand”). On January 4, 2023, the Company rejected the December 27, 2022 Demand. On February 7, 2023, without conceding the propriety of the December 27, 2022 Demand in any respect and while reserving all rights, the Company, in an effort to avoid unnecessary litigation, allowed the stockholder who made the December 27, 2022 Demand to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records concerning the subject matter of December 27, 2022 Demand. On February 6, 2023, the Company received a letter from another purported stockholder, demanding to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations similar to those made in the December 27, 2022 Demand (the “February 6, 2023 Demand” and, together with the December 27, 2022 Demand, the “Books and Records Demands”). On February 13, 2023, the Company rejected the February 6, 2023 Demand. Also, on February 13, 2023, without conceding the propriety of the February 6, 2023 Demand in any respect and while reserving all rights, the Company, in an effort to avoid unnecessary litigation, allowed the stockholder who made the February 6, 2023 Demand to inspect the same books and records that it allowed the stockholder who made the December 27, 2022 Demand to inspect. On February 20, 2023, two putative stockholder class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Allegheny County Employees’ Retirement System v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al. , C.A. No. 2023-0215-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “ Allegheny Action”), and Munoz v. Adam M. Aron, et al. , C.A. No. 2023-0216-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “ Munoz Action”). The Allegheny Action asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against certain of the Company’s directors and a claim for breach of 8 Del. C. § 242(b) against those directors and the Company, arising out of the Company’s creation of the APEs, the Antara Transactions, and the Charter Amendment Proposals. The Munoz Action, which was filed by the stockholders who made the Books and Records Demands, asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s current directors and former director Lee Wittlinger, arising out of the same conduct challenged in the Allegheny Action. The Allegheny Action seeks a declaration that the issuance of the APEs violated 8 Del. C. § 242(b), an order that holders of the Company’s Common Stock be provided with a separate vote from the holders of the APEs on the Charter Amendment Proposals or that the APEs be enjoined from voting on the Charter Amendment Proposals, and an award of money damages. The Munoz Action seeks to enjoin the APEs from being voted on the Charter Amendment Proposals. On February 27, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered a status quo order that (i) will allow the March 14, 2023 vote on the Charter Amendment Proposals to proceed, but precludes the Company from implementing the Charter Amendment Proposals pending a ruling by the court on the plaintiffs’ to-be-filed preliminary injunction motion, and (ii) scheduled a hearing on the plaintiffs’ to-be-filed preliminary injunction motion for April 27, 2023. ​ NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ​ Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information 144 Table of Contents used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: ​ Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. ​ Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant ​ Total Carrying Quoted prices in Significant other unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ observable inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Other long-term assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation warrants ​ $ 9.2 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 9.2 Marketable equity securities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation ​ ​ 12.5 ​ ​ 12.5 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total assets at fair value ​ $ 21.7 ​ $ 12.5 ​ $ — ​ $ 9.2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant ​ Total Carrying Quoted prices in Significant other unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ observable inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2021 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Other long-term assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Money market mutual funds ​ $ 0.5 ​ $ 0.5 ​ $ — ​ $ — Investments measured at net asset value (1) ​ ​ 12.4 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total assets at fair value ​ $ 12.9 ​ $ 0.5 ​ $ — ​ $ — (1) The investments relate to non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements on behalf of certain members of management. The Company has an equivalent liability for this related-party transaction recorded in other long-term liabilities for the deferred compensation obligation. The plan was terminated on May 3, 2021 and liquidated in 2022. Valuation Techniques. The Company’s money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity method investment in Hycroft was measured at fair value using Hycroft’s stock price at the date of measurement. To estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in Hycroft warrants, the Company valued the warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model. Such judgments and estimates included estimates of volatility of 123.3 % and discount rate of 4.1 %. The discount rate is based on the treasury yield that matches the term as of the measurement date. Other inputs included the term of 4.2 years, exercise price of $ 1.068 and Hycroft’s stock price at the date of measurement. There is considerable management judgment with respect to the inputs used in determining fair value, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and appropriate discount rates to be used in determining fair value, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Such judgments and estimates include estimates of future attendance, revenues, cash flows, rent relief, cost savings, capital expenditures, and the cost of capital, among others. At December 31, 2022, related cash flows were discounted at 10.0 % for the Domestic Theatres and 12.5 % for the International Theatres, at December 31, 2021, related cash flows were discounted at 10.0 % for Domestic Theatres and 11.5 % for International Theatres. Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The following tables summarize the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant other Significant ​ ​ Total Carrying ​ Quoted prices in ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Current maturities of corporate borrowings ​ $ 20.0 ​ $ — ​ $ 10.8 ​ $ — Corporate borrowings ​ 5,120.8 ​ — ​ 2,516.2 ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant other Significant ​ ​ Total Carrying ​ Quoted prices in ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2021 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Current maturities of corporate borrowings ​ $ 20.0 ​ $ — ​ $ 18.1 ​ $ — Corporate borrowings ​ 5,408.0 ​ — ​ 4,263.5 ​ 681.4 ​ 146 Table of Contents Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Level 3 fair value measurement represents the transaction price of the corporate borrowings under estimated market conditions. The Company valued these notes at principal value less an estimated discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. ​ NOTE 13—OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company reports information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. The Company has identified two reportable segments and reporting units for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. The International markets reportable segment has operations in or partial interest in theatres in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Saudi Arabia. The Company divested of its interest in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania operations, see Note 1 — The Company and Significant Accounting Policies for further information on the Baltics theatre sale. On January 24, 2023 the Company sold its interest in Saudi Arabia, see Note 16 — Subsequent events for additional information. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions, food and beverage sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising, AMC Stubs ® membership fees and other loyalty programs, ticket sales, gift card income and exchange ticket income. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments. Below is a breakdown of select financial information by reportable operating segment: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Revenues (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 U.S. markets ​ $ 2,961.7 ​ $ 1,875.8 ​ $ 826.7 International markets ​ ​ 949.7 ​ ​ 652.1 ​ ​ 415.7 Total revenues ​ $ 3,911.4 ​ $ 2,527.9 ​ $ 1,242.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Adjusted EBITDA (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2020 U.S. markets ​ $ 59.6 ​ $ ( 250.6 ) ​ $ ( 768.2 ) International markets ​ ​ ( 13.0 ) ​ ​ ( 41.1 ) ​ ​ ( 231.0 ) Total Adjusted EBITDA ​ $ 46.6 ​ $ ( 291.7 ) ​ $ ( 999.2 ) (1) The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in International markets and any cash distributions of earnings from its other equity method investees. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, which is broadly consistent with how Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Company’s debt indentures. ​ 147 Table of Contents ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Capital Expenditures (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 U.S. markets ​ $ 138.4 ​ $ 63.9 ​ $ 109.9 International markets ​ ​ 63.6 ​ ​ 28.5 ​ ​ 63.9 Total capital expenditures ​ $ 202.0 ​ $ 92.4 ​ $ 173.8 ​ Financial information about geographic area is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Revenues (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2020 United States ​ $ 2,961.7 ​ $ 1,875.8 ​ $ 826.7 United Kingdom ​ ​ 379.3 ​ ​ 283.6 ​ ​ 127.9 Spain ​ ​ 114.6 ​ ​ 81.8 ​ ​ 52.1 Sweden ​ ​ 125.0 ​ ​ 82.3 ​ ​ 63.2 Italy ​ ​ 90.4 ​ ​ 57.5 ​ ​ 47.5 Germany ​ ​ 96.2 ​ ​ 54.4 ​ ​ 38.2 Finland ​ ​ 73.9 ​ ​ 49.1 ​ ​ 43.4 Ireland ​ ​ 27.3 ​ ​ 16.9 ​ ​ 9.3 Other foreign countries ​ ​ 43.0 ​ ​ 26.5 ​ ​ 34.1 Total ​ $ 3,911.4 ​ $ 2,527.9 ​ $ 1,242.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of ​ As of Long-term assets, net (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 U.S. markets ​ $ 6,135.9 ​ $ 6,434.5 International markets ​ ​ 2,097.6 ​ ​ 2,516.7 Total long-term assets (1) ​ $ 8,233.5 ​ $ 8,951.2 (1) Long-term assets are comprised of property, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax asset, net and other long-term assets. ​ ​ The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2020 Net loss ​ $ ( 973.6 ) ​ $ ( 1,269.8 ) ​ $ ( 4,589.4 ) Plus: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income tax provision (benefit) (1) ​ 2.5 ​ ( 10.2 ) ​ ​ 59.9 Interest expense ​ 378.7 ​ 458.1 ​ ​ 356.9 Depreciation and amortization ​ 396.0 ​ 425.0 ​ ​ 498.3 Impairment of long-lived assets, definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill (2) ​ 133.1 ​ 77.2 ​ ​ 2,513.9 Certain operating expense (income) (3) ​ 8.0 ​ 0.2 ​ ​ ( 9.4 ) Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities (4) ​ 1.6 ​ ( 11.0 ) ​ ​ 30.9 Cash distributions from non-consolidated entities (5) ​ 6.6 ​ 12.5 ​ ​ 17.4 Attributable EBITDA (6) ​ ​ 0.4 ​ ​ 3.7 ​ ​ 0.2 Investment expense (income) ​ 14.9 ​ ( 9.2 ) ​ ​ 10.1 Other expense (income) (7) ​ 80.4 ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ​ 66.9 Other non-cash rent benefit (8) ​ ​ ( 26.6 ) ​ ​ ( 24.9 ) ​ ​ ( 4.9 ) General and administrative — unallocated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Merger, acquisition and other costs (9) ​ 2.1 ​ 13.7 ​ ​ 24.6 Stock-based compensation expense (10) ​ 22.5 ​ 43.1 ​ ​ 25.4 Adjusted EBITDA ​ $ 46.6 ​ $ ( 291.7 ) ​ $ ( 999.2 ) 148 Table of Contents (1) For information regarding the income tax provision (benefit), see Note 10 — Income Taxes. (2) During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to its long-lived assets of $ 73.4 million on 68 theatres in the U.S. markets with 817 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net and $ 59.7 million on 53 theatres in the International markets with 456 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to its long-lived assets of $ 61.3 million on 77 theatres in the U.S. markets with 805 screens which were related to property, net, operating lease right-of-use assets, net and other long-term assets and $ 15.9 million on 14 theatres in the International markets with 118 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill non-cash impairment charges of $ 1,276.1 million and $ 1,030.3 million related to the enterprise fair values of the Domestic Theatres and International Theatres reporting units, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 152.5 million on 101 theatres in the U.S. markets with 1,139 screens which were related to property, net, operating lease right-of-use assets, net and other long-term assets and $ 25.4 million on 37 theatres in the International markets with 340 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. The Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets of $ 12.5 million and $ 2.7 million related to the Odeon and Nordic trade names, respectively, in the International Theatres reporting unit during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company also recorded non-cash impairment charges of $ 14.4 million related to its definite-lived intangible assets in the Domestic Theatres reporting unit during the year ended December 31, 2020. (3) Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens, including the related accretion of interest, non-cash deferred digital equipment rent expense, and disposition of assets and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. The Company has excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature or are non-operating in nature. (4) Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities primarily consisted of equity in loss from Saudi Cinema Company, LLC of $ 7.6 million, partially offset by equity in (earnings) from DCIP of $ 3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities primarily consisted of equity in earnings (loss) from DCIP of $ 12.2 million and $( 14.5 ) million, during the year ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded impairment losses in the International markets during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to equity method investments of $ 8.6 million in equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities. (5) Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non- theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. The Company believes including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to the Company’s operations. (6) Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain International markets. See below for a reconciliation of the Company’s equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where the Company holds a significant market share, the Company believes attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. The Company also provides services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and the Company’s gift card and package ticket program. 149 Table of Contents ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ ​ (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 ​ December 31, 2020 Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities ​ $ 1.6 ​ $ ( 11.0 ) ​ $ 30.9 Less: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities excluding International theatre joint ventures ​ ​ ( 5.4 ) ​ ​ ( 13.5 ) ​ ​ 27.4 Equity in loss of International theatre joint ventures ​ ​ ( 7.0 ) ​ ​ ( 2.5 ) ​ ​ ( 3.5 ) Income tax provision ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.3 ​ ​ 0.1 Investment expense (income) ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ​ ( 0.4 ) Interest expense ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ 0.1 Impairment of long-lived assets ​ ​ 4.2 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 2.8 ​ ​ 5.6 ​ ​ 3.2 Other expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ 0.7 Attributable EBITDA ​ $ 0.4 ​ $ 3.7 ​ $ 0.2 ​ (7) Other expense (income) during the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily consisted of a loss on debt extinguishment of $ 92.8 million, partially offset by income related to the foreign currency transaction gains of $( 12.3 ) million and contingent lease guarantees of $( 0.2 ) million.

The dividend was paid at the close of business on August 19, 2022 to investors who held shares of Common Stock as of August 22, 2022, the ex-dividend date. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit is a depositary share and represents an interest in one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock evidenced by a depositary receipt pursuant to a deposit agreement. The Company has 50,000,000 Preferred Stock shares authorized, 10,000,000 of which have currently been allocated and 7,245,872 have been issued under depositary agreement as Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, leaving 40,000,000 unallocated Preferred Stock shares. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit is designed to have the same economic and voting rights as a share of Class A common stock. Trading of the AMC Preferred Equity Units on the NYSE began on August 22, 2022 under the ticker symbol “APE”. Due to the characteristics of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the special dividend is similar to a stock split pursuant to ASC 505-20-25-4. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the special dividend as a stock split. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effects of unvested RSUs with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive. Diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 also includes potential dilutive shares from the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes due 2026, if dilutive. 151 Table of Contents The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended (In millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Numerator: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net loss for basic loss per share attributable to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ​ $ ( 973.6 ) ​ $ ( 1,269.1 ) ​ $ ( 4,589.1 ) Net loss for diluted loss per share attributable to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ​ $ ( 973.6 ) ​ $ ( 1,269.1 ) ​ $ ( 4,589.1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Denominator (shares in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average shares for basic loss per common share ​ 1,047,689 ​ 954,820 ​ 234,424 Weighted average shares for diluted loss per common share ​ 1,047,689 ​ 954,820 ​ 234,424 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic loss per common share: ​ $ ( 0.93 ) ​ $ ( 1.33 ) ​ $ ( 19.58 ) Diluted loss per common share: ​ $ ( 0.93 ) ​ $ ( 1.33 ) ​ $ ( 19.58 ) ​ Vested RSUs, PSUs, and SPSUs have dividend rights identical to the Company’s Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. For the year ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, unvested RSUs of 2,523,364 , 4,495,250 , and 2,262,666 , respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would be anti-dilutive. Unvested PSUs and SPSUs are subject to performance and market conditions, respectively, and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Unvested PSUs of 0 , 0 and 1,298,418 for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and unvested SPSUs of 1,156,656 at the minimum market condition for the year ended December 31, 2020, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would not be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period or they would be anti-dilutive. On January 29, 2021, the $ 600.0 million principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes due 2026 were converted into the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $ 6.76 per share and resulted in the issuance of 44,422,860 shares and 44,422,860 AMC Preferred Equity Units. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company used the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes that were issued on September 14, 2018. The Company has not adjusted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 to eliminate the interest expense of $ 31.8 million and the loss for the derivative liability related to the Convertible Notes of $ 89.4 million in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effects would be anti-dilutive. The Company has not included in diluted weighted average shares approximately 71.0 million shares issuable upon conversion for the year ended December 31, 2020 as the effects would be anti-dilutive. ​ ​ NOTE 16— SUBSEQUENT EVENTS ​ Equity Distribution Agreement. As part of the Equity Distribution Agreement described in Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $ 9.6 million through the date of this filing through its at-the-market offering of approximately 6.6 million shares of its AMC Preferred Equity Units and paid fees to the sales agent of approximately $ 0.2 million. The Company is prohibited from selling more than $ 140.0 million worth of AMC Preferred Equity units until the earlier of the special stockholders meeting described below or April 6, 2023. Antara is prohibited from purchasing more than 26 million AMC Preferred Equity Units until the earlier of the special stockholders meeting or April 6, 2023. Stock-Based Compensation. On February 23, 2023, AMC’s Board of Directors approved a modification to the 2022 PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200 % vesting was achieved for both tranches. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 2,389,589 Common Stock 2022 PSUs and 2,389,589 AMC Preferred Equity Unit 2022 PSUs. This was treated as a Type 3 modification 152 Table of Contents (improbable-to-probable) which requires the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the Common Stock PSUs and AMC Preferred Equity Unit PSUs of $ 6.23 and $ 2.22 , respectively. The Company will recognize $ 20.2 million of additional stock compensation expense in its financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Item 9B. Other Information of this form 10-K for further information. Additional Share Issuances Antara. On February 7, 2023, the Company issued 197,621,297 AMC Preferred Equity Units to Antara in exchange for $ 75.1 million in cash and $ 100.0 million aggregate principal of the Company’s 10 %/ 12 % Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes due 2026. The cash proceeds of $ 75.1 million and the carrying value of the notes of $ 118.6 million were recorded in Total stockholders’ deficit. The Company paid $ 1.4 million of accrued interest in cash upon exchange of the notes. On February 9, 2023, the Company and Antara agreed to a mutual waiver of the lock-up restrictions in the Forward Purchase Agreement restricting the sale, transfer, or other disposition of the AMC Preferred Equity Units. In accordance with the mutual waiver, the lock-up restrictions will not apply to (i) sales of AMC Preferred Equity Units by Antara in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of 26 million AMC Preferred Equity Units, and (ii) allow additional sales of AMC Preferred Equity Units by the Company in an amount not to exceed $ 140 million. The Company also agreed that prior to March 31, 2023, it will not issue or exchange, without Antara’s prior written consent, any Common Stock in return for cancellation of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. Senior Secured Credit Facility. On January 25, 2023, the Company entered into the Twelfth Amendment, pursuant to which the requisite revolving lenders party thereto agreed to extend the suspension period for the financial covenant under its Credit Agreement from a period ending March 31, 2023 to a period ending on March 31, 2024. Derivative Stockholder Complaint . On January 6, 2023, the Company received approximately $ 14.0 million in settlement of the Lao Action as described in Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies. The Company expects to record the settlement as a credit to other income during the three months ended March 31. 2023. Saudi Cinema Company.

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Board called a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders for March 14, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders will consider the following proposals: ​ 1. Proposal No. 1: To approve an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our “Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 524,173,073 shares of Common Stock to 550,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Increase Proposal”); 2. Proposal No. 2: To approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock, which together with the Share 153 Table of Contents Increase Proposal, shall permit the full conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split Proposal” and collectively with the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”). See Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies for further information; and 3. Proposal No. 3: To approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve and adopt the Charter Amendment Proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”). Each of the Share Increase Proposal and the Reverse Split Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of the other, such that approval of both proposals is required for each of them to take effect. If the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved, the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of February 8, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, would decrease from 517,580,416 to approximately 51,758,042 shares of Common Stock. Further, 9,298,497 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (represented by 929,849,612 APEs), as of the record date, will convert into 92,984,970 shares of Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock (and APEs) will cease to exist. Ultimately, based upon the outstanding equity interests as of the record date, approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals will result in a total of approximately 144,743,012 shares of Common Stock outstanding out of 550,000,000 authorized shares. The amount of Preferred Stock authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation will be unaffected by the Charter Amendment Proposals. For additional information on the Special Meeting and the proposals under consideration, see the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on February 14, 2023. ​ ​ ​ ​ 154 Table of Contents Item 9.
