OF PRESENTATION ​ AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“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. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10–Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liquidity. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations currently and through the next twelve months. The Company’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows provided by operating activities and long-term profitability, the Company believes that revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 25 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows provided by operating activities, it is difficult to estimate the Company’s future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve increased levels of revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly. There can be no assurance that the revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles. Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages that occurred during 2023 had a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s liquidity and cash burn rates. 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. The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity 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 8 Table of Contents amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for a summary of debt transactions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 13—Subsequent Events for further information about various debt exchanges that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company has bolstered its liquidity through at-the-market offerings of its Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), see Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit for further information on these offerings. As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The financial covenants and related covenant suspension conditions are no longer in effect pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified). The Company currently does not expect to replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has entered into a new letter of credit facility in order to continue to provide letters of credit in the ordinary course of business following the termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. markets and International markets were $ 455.6 million and $ 71.8 million respectively, and as of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $ 752.3 million and $ 132.0 million, respectively. Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash held in the Company’s bank accounts as a guarantee for certain landlords and cash collateralized letters of credit relating to the Company’s insurance and utilities programs. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of (In millions) ​ September 30, 2024 ​ December 31, 2023 Cash and cash equivalents ​ $ 527.4 ​ $ 884.3 Restricted cash ​ ​ 49.7 ​ ​ 27.1 Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows ​ $ 577.1 ​ $ 911.4 ​ As of September 30, 2024, restricted cash for the U.S. markets and International markets were $ 20.2 million and $ 29.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, restricted cash for the U.S. markets and International markets were $ 0 and $ 27.1 million, respectively. ​ Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

Accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $ 7.9 million and $ 7.3 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. ​ 9 Table of Contents Other Expense (Income).

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 or 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 sight and sound and food and beverage equipment. 10 Table of Contents The following table reflects the lease costs for the periods presented: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ September 30, (In millions) ​ Consolidated Statements of Operations ​ 2024 ​ 2023 ​ 2024 ​ 2023 Operating lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Theatre properties ​ Rent ​ $ 193.1 ​ $ 201.3 ​ $ 585.9 ​ $ 587.5 Theatre properties ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 1.0 ​ ​ 0.6 ​ ​ 2.0 ​ ​ 1.2 Equipment ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 8.1 ​ ​ 4.8 ​ ​ 22.2 ​ ​ 11.8 Office and other ​ General and administrative: other ​ ​ 1.3 ​ ​ 1.3 ​ ​ 4.0 ​ ​ 4.0 Finance lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amortization of finance lease assets ​ Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 1.5 ​ ​ 0.5 ​ ​ 2.0 ​ ​ 1.5 Interest expense on lease liabilities ​ Finance lease obligations ​ ​ 1.0 ​ ​ 0.9 ​ ​ 2.5 ​ ​ 2.8 Variable lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Theatre properties ​ Rent ​ ​ 23.3 ​ ​ 23.0 ​ ​ 73.4 ​ ​ 63.3 Equipment ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 19.4 ​ ​ 17.9 ​ ​ 48.8 ​ ​ 51.6 Total lease cost ​ ​ ​ $ 248.7 ​ $ 250.3 ​ $ 740.8 ​ $ 723.7 ​ ​ Cash flow and supplemental information is presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, (In millions) ​ 2024 ​ 2023 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating cash flows used in finance leases ​ $ ( 2.5 ) ​ $ ( 2.3 ) Operating cash flows used in operating leases ​ ​ ( 696.8 ) ​ ​ ( 742.5 ) Financing cash flows used in finance leases ​ ​ ( 3.5 ) ​ ​ ( 4.6 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Landlord contributions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating cash flows provided by operating leases ​ ​ 26.0 ​ ​ 16.0 Supplemental disclosure of noncash leasing activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities (1) ​ ​ 103.3 ​ ​ 111.4 (1) Includes lease extensions and option exercises. ​ The following table represents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate as of September 30, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted Average ​ Weighted Average ​ ​ Remaining ​ Discount Lease Term and Discount Rate ​ Lease Term (years) ​ Rate Operating leases ​ ​ 8.3 ​ ​ 10.6 % Finance leases ​ ​ 13.3 ​ ​ 6.4 % ​ 11 Table of Contents Minimum annual payments and the net present value thereof as of September 30, 2024, are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating Lease ​ Finance Lease (In millions) ​ Payments ​ Payments Three months ending December 31, 2024 ​ $ 231.7 ​ $ 2.1 2025 ​ ​ 911.9 ​ ​ 7.8 2026 ​ ​ 849.1 ​ ​ 7.8 2027 ​ ​ 784.6 ​ ​ 7.8 2028 ​ ​ 697.0 ​ ​ 7.8 2029 ​ ​ 593.0 ​ ​ 7.7 Thereafter ​ ​ 2,312.5 ​ ​ 40.4 Total lease payments ​ ​ 6,379.8 ​ ​ 81.4 Less imputed interest ​ ​ ( 2,113.9 ) ​ ​ ( 28.2 ) Total operating and finance lease liabilities, respectively ​ $ 4,265.9 ​ $ 53.2 ​ As of September 30, 2024, the Company had signed additional operating lease agreements for two theatres that have not yet commenced. The leases have terms of 10 and 15 years and total lease payments of approximately $ 15.0 million. The timing of the lease commencement is dependent on the landlord providing the Company with control and access to the related facility.

The deferred revenues are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30-year term of the Exhibitor Service Agreement (“ESA”) ending in February 2037. ​ NCM Bankruptcy . On April 11, 2023, NCM filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas. NCM is the in-theatre advertising provider for the majority of the Company’s theatres in the United States. Under the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on August 7, 2023 (the “Plan”), NCM has assumed its agreements with the Company. As part of the Plan, on August 7, 2023, NCM issued 16,581,829 common units (“NCM Common Units”) that were owed to the Company as part of the annual common unit adjustment. However, under the terms of the Plan and the restructuring of the equity of NCM thereunder, the NCM Common Units were immediately cancelled upon the effective date of the Plan. On August 13, 2023, in response to an appeal by the Company regarding certain terms of the Plan, including modification of the terms of the Exhibitor Services Agreement with other parties that were not similarly granted to the Company and appeal of the court’s order to approve cancellation of the NCM Common Unit issuance, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas affirmed the rulings of the bankruptcy court, including confirmation of the Plan. The Company filed an appeal to these rulings with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and such appeal remains pending. The Company does not expect NCM’s bankruptcy or the appeal to have a material impact on the Company. Gift Cards and Exchange Tickets. The total amount of non-redeemed gift cards and exchange tickets included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 was $ 280.9 million. This will be recognized as revenues as the gift cards and exchange tickets are redeemed or as the non-redeemed gift card and exchange ticket revenues are recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions, which is estimated to occur over the next 24 months . Loyalty Programs. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of deferred revenues allocated to the loyalty programs included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $ 77.4 million. The earned points will be recognized as revenue as the points are redeemed, which is estimated to occur over the next 24 months . Subscription membership fees and loyalty membership fees are recognized ratably over their respective membership periods. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. ​ NOTE 4—GOODWILL ​ The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reporting unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Markets ​ International Markets ​ Consolidated Goodwill (In millions) ​ Gross Carrying Amount ​ Accumulated Impairment Losses ​ Net Carrying Amount ​ Gross Carrying Amount ​ Accumulated Impairment Losses ​ Net Carrying Amount ​ Gross Carrying Amount ​ Accumulated Impairment Losses ​ Net Carrying Amount Balance December 31, 2023 ​ $ 3,072.6 ​ $ ( 1,276.1 ) ​ $ 1,796.5 ​ $ 1,589.5 ​ $ ( 1,027.3 ) ​ $ 562.2 ​ $ 4,662.1 ​ $ ( 2,303.4 ) ​ $ 2,358.7 Currency translation adjustment ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 45.7 ​ ​ ( 52.8 ) ​ ​ ( 7.1 ) ​ ​ 45.7 ​ ​ ( 52.8 ) ​ ​ ( 7.1 ) Balance September 30, 2024 ​ $ 3,072.6 ​ $ ( 1,276.1 ) ​ $ 1,796.5 ​ $ 1,635.2 ​ $ ( 1,080.1 ) ​ $ 555.1 ​ $ 4,707.8 ​ $ ( 2,356.2 ) ​ $ 2,351.6 14 Table of Contents ​ ​ ​ ​ NOTE 5—INVESTMENTS ​ Investments in non-consolidated affiliates and certain other investments accounted for under the equity method generally include all entities in which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence, but not more than 50.0 % voting control, and are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in other long-term assets.

Refinancing Transactions On July 22, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a series of refinancing transactions (the “Refinancing Transactions”) with two creditor groups to refinance and extend to 2029 and 2030 the maturities of approximately $ 1.6 billion of the Company’s debt previously maturing in 2026. In connection with the refinancing on the Closing Date: ● The Company and Muvico, LLC, a newly formed indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Muvico”), entered into that certain credit agreement (the “New Term Loan Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company and Muvico, each, as a borrower (collectively, the “New Term Loan Borrowers”), the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “New Term Loan Agent”) pursuant to which the Company and Muvico jointly and severally borrowed $ 1.2 billion of new term loans maturing 2029 (the “New Term Loans”). ● The New Term Loans were (i) used as consideration for the open market purchase of $ 1.1 billion of the Company’s existing senior secured term loans maturing in 2026 (the “Existing Term Loans”) and (ii) exchanged for $ 104.2 million of the Company’s 10 % / 12 % Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Subordinated Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Second Lien Notes”). Under the terms of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, lenders of remaining Existing Term Loans were entitled to exchange their remaining Existing Term Loans for New Term Loans subject to certain terms and conditions. ● Muvico also completed a private offering for cash of $ 414.4 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00 % / 8.00 % Cash/PIK Toggle Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company, the existing guarantors under the Existing Term Loans, and the Existing First Lien Notes (as defined herein) (the “Existing Guarantors”) and Centertainment (as defined below) and which are exchangeable into Common Stock on the terms described herein. ● Muvico used the proceeds from the offering of the Exchangeable Notes to repurchase $ 414.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes. In connection with the formation of Muvico, among other things; ● The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “AMC”) transferred certain leases, owned real property and related assets and rights in respect of 175 theatres (the “Transferred Theatres”) to Muvico, along with certain intellectual property, including the AMC brand name (the “Transferred IP”), pursuant to an asset transfer agreement (the “Asset Transfer Agreement”). ● Muvico and AMC entered into a management services agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”), pursuant to which Muvico engaged AMC to manage and operate the Transferred Theatres and provide certain other management services to Muvico. ● Muvico and AMC entered into an intellectual property license agreement (the “Intercompany License Agreement”), pursuant to which Muvico granted AMC a license to use the Transferred IP. Muvico is a direct subsidiary of Centertainment Development, LLC (“Centertainment”). Each of Muvico and Centertainment is an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the Existing Term Loans and the Existing First Lien Notes and therefore not subject to various restrictive covenants under the covenants governing such indebtedness. On August 1, 2024, the Company completed follow-on open market repurchases of the Company’s Existing Term Loans (as defined below), and in exchange, issued to such selling holders the Company’s New Term Loans (as defined below) pursuant to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below) of approximately $ 762.0 million. 18 Table of Contents On August 14, 2024, the Company completed an additional follow-on open market repurchase of the Company’s Existing Term Loans, and in exchange, issued to such selling holders the Company’s New Term Loans pursuant to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement of approximately $ 4.0 million. On September 17, 2024, the Company issued $ 27.0 million of New Term Loans at par for cash and used the proceeds to redeem the remaining Existing Term Loans. As of September 30, 2024, the Company completed open market purchases of $ 1,895.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans and issued $ 2,024.3 million aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans. Accordingly, as of such date, the Company had no remaining aggregate principal amount of the Existing Term Loans outstanding and the loan documents relating to the Existing Term Loans were terminated. The debt repurchases and exchanges for the Second Lien Notes were accounted for as extinguishments and resulted in a loss on extinguishment as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (In millions) ​ Amount Fair value of Exchangeable Notes due 2030 ​ $ 293.6 Fair value of Conversion Option ​ ​ 233.4 Fair value of New Term Loans due 2029 ​ ​ 104.2 PIK fee paid to Second Lien Lenders ​ ​ 2.3 Cash fee paid to Second Lien Lenders ​ ​ 2.3 Second Lien Notes consideration ​ ​ 635.8 ​ ​ ​ ​ Principal Second Lien Notes ​ ​ 518.6 Premium Second Lien Notes ​ ​ 56.0 Carrying value Second Lien Notes ​ ​ 574.6 ​ ​ ​ ​ Loss on extinguishment of Second Lien Notes ​ $ 61.2 ​ The debt exchanges for the Existing Term Loans were accounted for as modifications and resulted in expense of approximately $ 41.0 million for costs paid to third parties.

The Exchangeable Notes will mature on April 30, 2030, unless redeemed or exchanged in full prior to such maturity date, pursuant to the terms contained in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture as further discussed below. At any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Exchangeable Notes, each holder of the Exchangeable 19 Table of Contents Notes shall have the right, at its option, to surrender for exchange all or a portion of its Exchangeable Notes at the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) for Common Stock. The Exchange Rate is initially set at 176.6379 shares of the Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes exchanged, which reflects a price of $ 5.66 per share Common Stock (“Exchange Price”), which price is equal to 113 % of the closing price per share of the Common Stock on July 19, 2024. The Exchange Rate is subject to customary adjustments and anti-dilution protections (as provided in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture). At any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Exchangeable Notes, Muvico will also have the right, at its election, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Exchangeable Notes at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of such redemption if the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) per share of Common Stock exceeds 140 % of the Exchange Price for fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the Trading Day immediately before the date on which Muvico sends a notice to holders calling such Exchangeable Notes for redemption (a “Soft Call Notice”). Any such Soft Call Notice will provide that the applicable redemption of the Exchangeable Notes will occur on a business day of Muvico’s choosing, not more than ten (10) and not less than five (5) business days after the date of the Soft Call Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Exchangeable Notes will be entitled within two (2) business days of such Soft Call Notice to submit their Exchangeable Notes for exchange under the terms of the Exchangeable Notes Indenture. In the event that holders of Exchangeable Notes voluntarily elect to exchange their Exchangeable Notes, such holders will also be entitled to a make-whole premium (the “Exchange Adjustment Consideration”) equal to (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, 18.0 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; (ii) on or after the third anniversary and prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, 12.0 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; and (iii) on or after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the fifth anniversary, 6.0 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged. Muvico, at its option, will be entitled to pay the Exchange Adjustment Consideration in the form of shares of Common Stock (using a modified exchange price equal to 140 % of the Exchange Price), subject to restrictions under the New Credit Agreement, cash in twelve (12) equal installments over the twelve-month period following the applicable exchange or a combination thereof. If certain corporate events that constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occur, then holders will have the right to require Muvico to repurchase their Exchangeable Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture). The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company, stockholder approval of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Common Stock. Muvico will also be required to mandatorily redeem all of the issued and outstanding Exchangeable Notes at a purchase price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase in the event that, as of ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Company’s 7.50 % first lien secured notes due 2029 (the “Existing First Lien Notes”), the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing First Lien Notes with a maturity date prior to April 30, 2030 exceeds $ 190,000,000 . The Exchangeable Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the Centertainment Group Parties’ (as defined below) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (vii) impair the security interest in the collateral. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. The Exchangeable Notes Indenture also incorporates the other restrictive covenants contained in the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Exchangeable Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Exchangeable Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Company analyzed the conversion option and Exchange Adjustment Consideration as one single conversion option (the “Conversion Option”). The Company bifurcated the Conversion Option from the principal balance of the Exchangeable Notes as a derivative liability. The Company bifurcated the Conversion Option as: (i) the economic characteristics of a conversion option embedded in a debt instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic 20 Table of Contents characteristics and risks of a debt host contract, as stated in ASC 815-15-25-51; (ii) the host debt instrument is not remeasured at fair value but rather, the Exchangeable Notes are measured at amortized cost; and (iii) the Conversion Option does not qualify for derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a). The Conversion Option also includes a make-whole adjustment, the Exchange Adjustment Consideration. The Exchange Adjustment Consideration (i.e., make-whole payment) does not meet the criteria for indexation under ASC 815-40-15-7C because the design of the feature does not meet the time-value scope exception and as a result is accounted for as a derivative. The initial estimated fair value of the Exchangeable Notes of $ 293.6 million resulted in a discount to the principal balance of $ 120.8 million and is amortized to interest expense resulting in an effective rate of 13.42 % over the term of the Exchangeable Notes. The Company also recorded deferred debt issuance costs of approximately $ 23.2 million related to the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes and will amortize those costs to interest expense following the effective interest method over the term of the Exchangeable Notes. The Company recorded interest expense for the period from July 22, 2024 to September 30, 2024 of $ 7.9 million. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other expense or income. See Note 9–Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodologies. The principal balance exceeded the if-converted value of the Exchangeable Notes (including the Exchange Adjustment Consideration paid in shares) by approximately $ 38.5 million as of September 30, 2024 based on the closing price per share of our common stock of $ 4.55 per share. New Term Loans due 2029 The New Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for (i) the New Term Loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 1,229,415,340 and (ii) the ability of the New Term Loan Borrowers to incur additional New Term Loans, the proceeds of which will be used in connection with future open market purchases of the Existing Term Loans. The New Term Loans mature on January 4, 2029 (or, if at least $ 190,000,000 of the Existing First Lien Notes have not been repurchased (and cancelled), repaid or refinanced by October 5, 2028, then October 5, 2028). The New Term Loans are subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on September 30, 2024, equal to 1.00 % per annum. The remaining aggregate principal amount outstanding (together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount) of the New Term Loans is payable at maturity. The New Term Loans bear interest, at the option of the New Term Loan Borrowers, at rates equal to either (i) a base rate plus a margin of between 500 and 600 basis points depending on the total leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) or (ii) Term SOFR plus a margin of between 600 and 700 basis points depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. Until the delivery under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement of the financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, the New Term Loans bear interest, at the option of the Company, at either (a) the base rate plus a margin of 600 basis points or (b) Term SOFR plus a margin of 700 basis points. The New Term Loans are guaranteed, subject to limited exceptions, by Centertainment and Muvico and their future respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “Centertainment Group Parties”) and the Existing Guarantors, and are secured by liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and such guarantors, in each case, subject to limited exceptions set forth in the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The New Term Loan Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (vii) maintain cash in the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the Centertainment Group Parties). These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. The New Term Loan Credit Agreement also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding New Term Loans to become immediately due and payable. Unamortized discounts and deferred charges related to the Existing Term Loans of $ 6.5 million and fees paid to Existing Term Loan lenders of $ 45.7 million were recorded as deferred charges related to the New Term Loans and the Company will amortize those costs to interest expense following the effective interest method over the term of the New Term Loans. ​ 21 Table of Contents ​ NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT ​ Reverse Stock Split On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one -tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures for periods prior to August 24, 2023, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have also been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. On August 25, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units converted into shares of Common Stock. Share Issuances During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company raised gross proceeds of $ 250.0 million and paid fees to sales agents and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $ 6.3 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively, through its at-the-market offering of approximately 72.5 million shares of Common Stock. The Company paid $ 0.7 million of other third-party issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $ 325.5 million and paid fees to the sales agents and incurred third-party issuance costs of approximately $ 8.2 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively, through its at-the-market offering of 40.0 million shares of its Common Stock. The Company paid $ 0.1 million of other third-party issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $ 114.5 million and paid fees to a sales agent and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $ 2.9 million and $ 8.7 million, respectively, through its at-the-market offering of 7.1 million shares of AMC Preferred Equity Units. The Company paid $ 11.5 million of other third-party issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Antara Transactions On December 22, 2022, the Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with Antara pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) sell to Antara 10,659,511 AMC Preferred Equity Units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 75.1 million and (ii) simultaneously purchase from Antara $ 100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10 %/ 12 % Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes in exchange for 9,102,619 AMC Preferred Equity Units. On February 7, 2023, the Company issued 19,762,130 AMC Preferred Equity Units to Antara in exchange for $ 75.1 million in cash and $ 100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10 %/ 12 % Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes. The Company recorded $ 193.7 million to stockholders’ deficit as a result of the transaction. The Company paid $ 1.4 million of accrued interest in cash upon exchange of the notes. AMC Preferred Equity Units Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit was a depositary share and represented an interest in a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock evidenced by a depositary receipt pursuant to a deposit agreement. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit was designed to have the same economic and voting rights as a share of Common Stock. On August 25, 2023, all outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units were converted to Common Stock. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock available for issuance. ​ 22 Table of Contents Stock-Based Compensation The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense recorded within general and administrative: other: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ September 30, ​ September 30, (In millions) ​ 2024 ​ 2023 ​ 2024 ​ 2023 Equity classified awards: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Special awards expense ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 2.1 ​ $ 20.2 Board of directors stock award expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 1.0 ​ ​ 0.9 Restricted stock unit expense ​ ​ 3.8 ​ ​ 3.7 ​ ​ 8.6 ​ ​ 10.5 Performance stock unit expense ​ ​ 2.5 ​ ​ 3.6 ​ ​ 3.3 ​ ​ 9.0 Total equity classified awards: ​ ​ 6.3 ​ ​ 7.3 ​ ​ 15.0 ​ ​ 40.6 Liability classified awards: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Restricted and performance stock unit expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.3 Total liability classified awards: ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.3 Total stock-based compensation expense ​ $ 6.3 ​ $ 7.2 ​ $ 15.1 ​ $ 40.9 ​ As of September 30, 2024, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation grants was approximately $ 19.6 million, which reflects assumptions related to attainment of performance targets based on the scales as described below. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.1 years. Special Awards On February 22, 2024, the compensation committee of AMC’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved modification of the performance goals applicable to all 2023 Tranche Year PSU awards. This was accounted for as a modification to the 2023 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200 % vesting was achieved for both targets. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 478,055 2023 Tranche Year PSUs ( 21,829 cash settled units and 456,226 equity settled units). This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which required the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the incremental PSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $ 2.1 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards. On February 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as modification to the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200 % vesting was achieved for both targets. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 238,959 Common Stock PSUs and 238,959 AMC Preferred Equity Unit PSUs. This was treated as a Type 3 modification (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 Units PSUs of $ 14.9 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $ 20.2 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards. Awards Granted in 2024 ​ On June 5, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved a new equity incentive plan (“2024 EIP”). The 2024 EIP has 25.0 million shares of Common Stock available for awards under the plan. Awards that may be granted under the 2024 EIP include options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, cash awards, and other equity-based awards. The 2024 EIP will be unlimited in duration and, in the event of termination, will remain in effect as long as any shares of awards under it are outstanding and not fully vested. On June 5, 2024, the Company’s board of directors granted awards of stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain of the Company’s employees and directors under the 2024 EIP. Each RSU or PSU is convertible into one share of Common Stock upon vesting. Each RSU and PSU held by a participant as of a dividend record date is entitled to a dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid with respect to one share of Common 23 Table of Contents Stock underlying the unit. Any such accrued dividend equivalents are paid to the holder only upon vesting of the units. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock at a future date. The awards generally had the following features: ● Board of Directors Stock Awards: The Company granted 202,392 fully vested shares of Common Stock to the independent members of the Company’s board of directors with a grant date fair value of $ 1.0 million. ● Restricted Stock Unit Awards: The Company granted 2,322,759 RSUs to certain members of management with a grant date fair value of $ 12.0 million. The Company records stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line recognition method over the requisite service period. The RSUs vest over three years , with one-third vesting each year. These RSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting. ● Performance Stock Unit Awards: A total of 2,322,759 PSUs were awarded (“2024 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 the free cash flow performance target. The 2024 PSU awards will vest if 80 % to 120 % of the performance targets are attained, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50 % to 200 % of the PSUs awarded. If the performance targets are met at 100 % , the 2024 PSU awards will vest at 2,322,759 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 or free cash flow targets. The Compensation Committee establishes the annual performance targets at the beginning of each year. 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 equity classified 2024 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2024 Tranche Year award of 774,202 units was approximately $ 4.0 million, the equity classified 2023 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2024 Tranche Year award of 105,357 units was $ 0.5 million and the equity classified 2022 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2024 Tranche Year award of 44,081 units was $ 0.2 million, measured using performance targets at 100 %. Liability Classified Awards Certain PSUs are expected to be settled in cash and accordingly have been classified as liabilities within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability classified 2023 PSU awards for the 2024 Tranche Year were granted when the annual performance targets were set. The vesting requirements and vesting periods are identical to the equity classified awards described above. The Company recognizes expense related to these awards based on the fair value of the Common Stock shares, giving effect to the portion of services rendered during the requisite services period. As of September 30, 2024, there were 65,676 nonvested underlying Common Stock RSUs and PSUs (after giving effect to estimated attainment levels of 148 %/ 158 % for Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow PSUs, respectively) related to awards classified as liabilities. There are 51,099 nonvested underlying Common Stock RSUs and PSUs (2024 Tranche Year measured using 148 %/ 158 % for Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow PSUs, respectively) that are currently classified as liabilities and 14,577 nonvested underlying Common Stock PSUs (2025 Tranche Year) which have not been granted for accounting purposes as the performance targets for the 2025 PSU Tranche Years have yet to be established. 24 Table of Contents The following table represents the equity classified nonvested RSU and PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ Common Stock ​ Grant Date ​ ​ RSUs and PSUs (3) ​ Fair Value Nonvested at January 1, 2024 ​ 747,423 ​ $ 44.35 Granted (1) ​ 3,727,031 ​ ​ 5.10 Granted - Special Award ​ 456,226 ​ ​ 4.42 Vested ​ ( 246,982 ) ​ ​ 43.84 Vested - Special Award ​ ( 242,360 ) ​ ​ 4.42 Forfeited ​ ( 1,278 ) ​ ​ 35.01 Cancelled (2) ​ ( 228,015 ) ​ ​ 43.86 Cancelled - Special Award (2) ​ ( 213,866 ) ​ ​ 4.42 Nonvested at September 30, 2024 ​ 3,998,179 ​ ​ 7.83 Tranche Years 2025 and 2026 awarded under the 2024 PSU award and Tranche Year 2025 awarded under the 2023 PSU award with grant date fair values to be determined in year 2025 and 2026, respectively ​ 1,653,656 ​ ​ ​ Total Nonvested at September 30, 2024 ​ 5,651,835 ​ ​ ​ (1) The number of PSU shares granted under the Tranche Year 2024 assumes the Company will attain a performance target at 148 % for the Adjusted EBITDA target and 158 % for the free cash flow target.

The Company is using a discrete income tax calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent labor stoppages on the industry. Historically, for interim financial reporting, the Company estimated the worldwide annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income (loss) for the full year and recorded a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company will return to the historic approach of computing quarterly tax expense based on an annual effective rate in the future interim period when more reliable estimates of annual income become available. The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued model rules, which generally provide for a jurisdictional minimum effective tax rate of 15.0 %. Various countries have or are in the process of enacting legislation intended to implement the principles effective January 1, 2024. The Company’s adoption of the OECD's global tax reform is not expected to have a material impact on its 2024 income tax expense. 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 duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy, among others. A valuation allowance is recorded against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and most of the Company’s international deferred tax assets as the Company has determined the realization of these assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflects the impact of these valuation allowances against U.S. and international deferred tax assets generated during the period. The actual effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was ( 0.6 )%. The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowances in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, foreign tax rate differences, federal and state tax credits, permanent differences and other discrete items. ​ 28 Table of Contents NOTE 9—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 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 market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. ​ ​ Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2024 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant ​ Total Carrying Quoted prices in Significant other unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ observable inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ September 30, 2024 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Other long-term assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft warrants ​ $ 1.3 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 1.3 Marketable equity securities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft ​ ​ 6.0 ​ ​ 6.0 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total assets at fair value ​ $ 7.3 ​ $ 6.0 ​ $ — ​ $ 1.3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Corporate Borrowings: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Derivative liability ​ $ 159.9 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 159.9 Total liabilities at fair value ​ $ 159.9 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 159.9 ​ Derivative liability valuation. On July 22, 2024, the Company issued Exchangeable Notes with conversion features that required bifurcation from the host instrument pursuant to ASC 815—Derivatives and Hedging. These conversion features were combined into a single derivative that comprises all features requiring bifurcation, see Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. The derivative features have been valued using a Binomial Lattice approach. The Binomial Lattice approach consists of simulated Common Stock prices from the valuation date to the maturity of the Exchangeable Notes. The significant inputs used to value the derivative include the initial share price of the Common Stock, the volatility of the share price, time to maturity, risk-free interest rate, credit spread, and the discount yield. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability on July 22, 2024 was $ 233.4 million. The Company measures the derivative at fair value at the end of each reporting period with any changes in fair value recorded to other expense (income) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. The following fair value hierarchy table is presented for nonrecurring fair value measurements of the bond component of the Company’s Exchangeable Notes: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at July 22, 2024 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant other Significant ​ Total Carrying ​ Quoted prices in ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ inputs ​ inputs (In millions) July 22, 2024 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Corporate Borrowings: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Exchangeable Notes ​ $ 293.6 ​ $ — ​ $ 293.6 ​ $ — ​ 29 Table of Contents Valuation Technique. The bond component of the Exchangeable Notes issued on July 22, 2024 was recorded at fair value. The Company estimated the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing a discount yield based on the risk-free rate plus an assumed credit spread built using observable recovery rates of similarly secured debt. See Note 6 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose 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 September 30, 2024 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant other Significant ​ ​ Total Carrying ​ Quoted prices in ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ September 30, 2024 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Current maturities of corporate borrowings ​ $ 95.6 ​ $ — ​ $ 94.2 ​ $ — Corporate borrowings ​ 3,888.5 ​ — ​ 3,765.9 ​ ​ — ​ Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market-based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Company valued these notes at principal value less an estimated discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. The Level 3 fair value measurement represents the transaction price of the corporate borrowings under market conditions. See Note 6 — 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 10—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 the chief operating decision maker 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, and Denmark. The Company sold its interest in Saudi Arabia in January 2023. See Note 5—Investments for further information. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions, food and beverage sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising, loyalty membership fees, 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company changed the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer further adjust for “cash distributions from non-consolidated entities” and “other non-cash rent benefit.” All comparative period information for Adjusted EBITDA has been re-cast to conform with the current definition. 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: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended Revenues (In millions) September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 ​ September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 U.S. markets ​ $ 1,055.3 ​ $ 1,063.9 ​ $ 2,560.3 $ 2,855.8 International markets ​ ​ 293.5 ​ ​ 342.0 ​ ​ 770.5 ​ 852.4 Total revenues ​ $ 1,348.8 ​ $ 1,405.9 ​ $ 3,330.8 $ 3,708.2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended Adjusted EBITDA (In millions) September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 ​ September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 U.S. markets ​ $ 143.3 ​ $ 155.5 ​ $ 178.5 ​ $ 353.4 International markets ​ ​ 18.5 ​ ​ 44.4 ​ ​ 0.6 ​ ​ 53.0 Total Adjusted EBITDA (1) ​ $ 161.8 ​ $ 199.9 ​ $ 179.1 ​ $ 406.4 30 Table of Contents (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. 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. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended Capital Expenditures (In millions) September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 ​ September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 U.S. markets ​ $ 41.6 ​ $ 40.8 ​ $ 107.1 ​ $ 112.2 International markets ​ ​ 19.1 ​ ​ 16.7 ​ ​ 48.7 ​ ​ 41.3 Total capital expenditures ​ $ 60.7 ​ $ 57.5 ​ $ 155.8 ​ $ 153.5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of ​ As of Long-term assets, net (In millions) ​ September 30, 2024 ​ December 31, 2023 U.S. markets ​ $ 5,553.3 ​ $ 5,795.6 International markets ​ ​ 1,981.7 ​ ​ 2,010.5 Total long-term assets (1) ​ $ 7,535.0 ​ $ 7,806.1 (1) Long-term assets are comprised of property, net, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax assets, net and other long-term assets. ​ The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended (In millions) ​ September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 Net earnings (loss) ​ $ ( 20.7 ) ​ $ 12.3 ​ $ ( 217.0 ) ​ $ ( 214.6 ) Plus: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income tax provision (benefit) (1) ​ ( 1.1 ) ​ 2.3 ​ 1.4 ​ 4.6 Interest expense ​ 119.6 ​ 103.7 ​ 319.8 ​ 307.4 Depreciation and amortization ​ 80.8 ​ 88.7 ​ 241.2 ​ 279.1 Certain operating expense (2) ​ 2.0 ​ 3.8 ​ 3.5 ​ 4.0 Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities (3) ​ ( 5.2 ) ​ ( 3.1 ) ​ ( 9.9 ) ​ ( 5.3 ) Attributable EBITDA (4) ​ ​ 1.3 ​ ​ 1.4 ​ ​ 1.2 ​ ​ 1.6 Investment income (5) ​ ( 3.2 ) ​ ( 3.0 ) ​ ( 14.4 ) ​ ( 11.4 ) Other income (6) ​ ( 18.1 ) ​ ( 14.1 ) ​ ( 161.9 ) ​ ( 1.4 ) General and administrative — unallocated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Merger, acquisition and other costs (7) ​ 0.1 ​ 0.7 ​ 0.1 ​ 1.5 Stock-based compensation expense (8) ​ 6.3 ​ 7.2 ​ 15.1 ​ 40.9 Adjusted EBITDA ​ $ 161.8 ​ $ 199.9 ​ $ 179.1 ​ $ 406.4 (1) For information regarding the income tax provision, see Note 8—Income Taxes. (2) 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, 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. (3) Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities during the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV of $( 4.3 ) million. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV of $( 1.5 ) million. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily 31 Table of Contents consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV of $( 9.5 ) million. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV of $( 3.4 ) million. (4) 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 loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments in theatre operators are 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. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended (In millions) ​ September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 ​ September 30, 2023 Equity in (earnings) of non-consolidated entities ​ $ ( 5.2 ) ​ $ ( 3.1 ) ​ $ ( 9.9 ) ​ $ ( 5.3 ) Less: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Equity in (earnings) of non-consolidated entities excluding International theatre joint ventures ​ ​ ( 4.7 ) ​ ​ ( 2.1 ) ​ ​ ( 10.3 ) ​ ​ ( 4.7 ) Equity in earnings (loss) of International theatre joint ventures ​ ​ 0.5 ​ ​ 1.0 ​ ​ ( 0.4 ) ​ ​ 0.6 Income tax provision (benefit) ​ ​ — ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) Investment income ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ​ ( 0.2 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) Interest expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.2 Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 0.7 ​ ​ 0.4 ​ ​ 1.4 ​ ​ 1.0 Other expense ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ — Attributable EBITDA ​ $ 1.3 ​ $ 1.4 ​ $ 1.2 ​ $ 1.6 ​ (5) Investment income during the three months ended September 30, 2024 includes appreciation in the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in common shares of Hycroft of $( 0.3 ) million, deterioration in estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft of $ 1.7 million and interest income of $( 4.6 ) million.

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. An unfavorable outcome could also have a material adverse effect on our financial position or the market prices of our securities, including our Common Stock. 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 asserted 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 June 6, 2022, the parties signed a stipulation of settlement to resolve the Lao Action for $ 17.4 million (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 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 $ 3.4 million to be paid out of the Settlement Amount. On January 6, 2023, the remainder of the Settlement Amount of $ 14.0 million was paid to the Company. The Company recorded the settlement as a gain in other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 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”) and which were subsequently consolidated into In re AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Stockholder Litigation C.A. No. 2023-0215-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “Shareholder Litigation”). The Allegheny Action asserted a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against certain of the Company’s directors and a claim for breach of 8 Del. C . § 242 against those directors and the Company, arising out of the Company’s creation of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the transactions between the Company and Antara that the Company announced on December 22, 2022 (the “Antara Transactions”), and certain amendments to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company’s total number of authorized shares of Common Stock and to effectuate a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock (together, the “Charter Amendments”). The Munoz Action, which was filed by stockholders who had previously made demands to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C . § 220, asserted 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 sought a declaration that the issuance of the AMC Preferred Equity Units violated 8 Del. C . § 242(b), an order that holders of the Company’s Common Stock be provided with a 33 Table of Contents separate vote from the holders of the AMC Preferred Equity Units on the Charter Amendments or that the AMC Preferred Equity Units be enjoined from voting on the Charter Amendments, and an award of money damages. The Munoz Action sought to enjoin the AMC Preferred Equity Units from voting on the Charter Amendments. On February 27, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered a status quo order that allowed the March 14, 2023 vote on the Charter Amendments to proceed, but precluded the Company from implementing the Charter Amendments pending a ruling by the court on the plaintiffs’ then-anticipated preliminary injunction motion (the “Status Quo Order”). On April 2, 2023, the parties entered into a binding settlement term sheet to settle the Shareholder Litigation, which among other things, provided that the parties would jointly request that the Status Quo Order be lifted. Pursuant to the term sheet, the Company agreed, following and subject to AMC’s completion of the Conversion and Reverse Stock Split, to make a non-cash settlement payment to record holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Conversion (and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) of one share of Common Stock for every 7.5 shares of Common Stock owned by such record holders (the “Settlement Payment”). The Company’s obligation to make the Settlement Payment was contingent on the Status Quo Order being lifted and the Company effecting the Charter Amendments. The defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Payment 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 Shareholder Litigation. On April 3, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion to lift the Status Quo Order. On April 5, 2023, the court denied the motion to lift the Status Quo Order. On April 27, 2023, the parties jointly filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release (the “Settlement Stipulation”) with the court, which fully memorialized the settlement that the parties agreed to in the term sheet. On June 29–30, 2023, the court held a settlement hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement as outlined in the Settlement Stipulation. On July 21, 2023, the court issued an opinion which, citing issues with the scope of the release sought under the proposed settlement, declined to approve the settlement as presented. On July 22, 2023, the parties filed an addendum to the Settlement Stipulation in an effort to address the issues with the scope of the release raised by the court and requested that the court approve the settlement with the revised release set forth in the addendum. On August 11, 2023, the court approved the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation and lifted the Status Quo Order. On August 14, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of August 24, 2023, which was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on March 14, 2023 to implement the Charter Amendments. The Reverse Stock Split occurred on August 24, 2023, the conversion of AMC Preferred Equity Units into Common Stock occurred on August 25, 2023, and the Settlement Payment was made on August 28, 2023. On September 15, 2023, the Court entered an order dismissing the Shareholder Litigation in its entirety and with prejudice. On October 13, 2023, a purported Company stockholder who objected to the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s decision approving the settlement. On May 22, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court’s decision approving the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation. On August 20, 2024, the appellant stockholder filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on October 7, 2024. In connection with the Shareholder Litigation, the Company recorded a $ 110.1 million charge to other expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The charge was based on the fair value for the Settlement Payment of $ 99.3 million and legal fees, net of probable insurance recoveries of $ 10.8 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company made the Settlement Payment on August 28, 2023, and recorded the disbursement to stockholders’ deficit. On August 14, 2023, a putative class action on behalf of APE holders, captioned Simons v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. , C.A. No. 2023-0835-MTZ (the “Simons Action”), was filed against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Simons Action asserted claims for a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and breach of contract, and alleged that the Settlement Payment in the Shareholder Litigation violates the Certificate of Designations that governed the AMC Preferred Equity Units prior to the conversion of the AMC Preferred Equity Units into Common Stock. On September 12, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On December 26, 2023, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which added a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On February 16, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 2, 2024, the court granted the Company’s motion, dismissing the amended complaint with prejudice. On October 30, 2024, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court. 34 Table of Contents On May 4, 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware against seventeen insurers participating in its directors & officers insurance program, seeking recovery for losses incurred in connection with its defense and settlement of the Shareholder Litigation, including the Settlement Payment. The insurance recovery action is captioned, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. v. XL Specialty Insurance Co., et al ., Case No. N23C-05-045 AML CCLD (Del. Super. May 4, 2023) (the “Coverage Action”). In the suit, AMC seeks up to $ 80 million in coverage under its Executive and Corporate Securities Liability Insurance Policies sold by the defendants, which provide coverage for the policy period of January 1, 2022, through January 1, 2023 (the “Policies”) in excess of a $ 10 million deductible. The primary insurer in the Coverage Action has paid its full $ 5 million limit. The Company has reached confidential settlement agreements with multiple insurers in the Coverage Action. The remainder of the insurers contest whether they owe coverage for the Settlement Payment, claiming it does not constitute a “Loss” under their insurance policies. AMC may have claims for coverage from additional insurers as well, however, those insurers’ policies contain mandatory arbitration provisions, so they have not been included in the Coverage Action. On October 6, 2023, an action captioned Mathew, et al. v. Citigroup Global Markets, et al. , Case No. 1:23-cv-12302-FDS (the “Mathew Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The Mathew Action named the Company as a nominal defendant. On November 16, 2023, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On January 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 11, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On January 24, 2024, the Company filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On June 17, 2024, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss and denied plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On December 18, 2023, an action captioned Miller, et al. v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 2023-1259-LM (Del. Ch.) (the “Miller Action”), was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Plaintiffs in the Miller Action sought to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations concerning alleged manipulation of the Company’s Common Stock. On February 7, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing the Company’s two officers from the action. On April 17, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing the Miller Action with prejudice. On May 2, 2024, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an order granting final approval of a proposed settlement reached by all parties to an action brought by plaintiffs Dennis J. Donoghue and Mark Rubenstein, each of whom are shareholders of the Company, for the Company to recover “short-swing” profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) alleged to have been realized by defendants Antara Capital Master Fund LP, Antara Capital Fund GP LLC, Antara Capital LP, Antara Capital GP LLC, and Himanshu Gulati (collectively, the “Antara Defendants”) in connection with their purchases and sales of the Company’s securities. The Company is party to the suit in name only, which was brought for the benefit of the Company. The Company received $ 2.6 million in connection with this action during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. On September 17, 2024, an action captioned A Holdings – B LLC, et al. v. GLAS Trust Company LLC , Index No. 654878/2024 (the “Noteholder Action”), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The Noteholder Action was filed by an ad hoc group of holders of the Company’s Existing First Lien Notes asserting claims for breach of contract and seeking a declaratory judgment against the Company and GLAS Trust Company LLC (“GLAS”), the trustee under the indenture for the Company’s Second Lien Notes, in connection with the Refinancing Transactions announced by AMC on July 22, 2024. Plaintiffs allege that GLAS and the Company breached the first lien/second lien intercreditor agreement dated July 31, 2020 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by improperly transferring collateral that secured the Existing First Lien Notes free of such liens and eliminating the Existing First Lien Notes’ priority in certain other collateral in connection with the Refinancing Transactions. An unfavorable outcome, in which it is determined that the Company breached, as claimed, the Intercreditor Agreement, would permit note holders to claim an event of default occurred under the indenture governing the Existing First Lien Notes and, subject to any conditions in the indenture, permit note holders to accelerate the Existing First Lien Notes, which could in turn result in the acceleration of the Company’s other outstanding debt. Such an event would thereby have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and on the market prices of our securities, including our Common Stock. We intend to vigorously defend against any claims made in the Noteholder Action. 35 Table of Contents ​ NOTE 12—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ​ Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effects of unvested RSUs with a service condition only, unvested contingently issuable PSUs that have service and performance conditions, and shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchangeable Notes, if dilutive. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method for the RSUs and PSUs and the if-converted method for the Exchangeable Notes. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended (In millions) September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Numerator: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net earnings (loss) for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ​ $ ( 20.7 ) ​ $ 12.3 ​ $ ( 217.0 ) ​ $ ( 214.6 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Denominator (shares in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average shares for basic loss per common share ​ 361,853 ​ 162,424 ​ 315,783 ​ 150,465 Common equivalent shares for RSUs and PSUs ​ — ​ 183 ​ — ​ — Weighted average shares for diluted earnings (loss) per common share ​ ​ 361,853 ​ ​ 162,607 ​ ​ 315,783 ​ ​ 150,465 Basic earnings (loss) per common share ​ $ ( 0.06 ) ​ $ 0.08 ​ $ ( 0.69 ) ​ $ ( 1.43 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per common share ​ $ ( 0.06 ) ​ $ 0.08 ​ $ ( 0.69 ) ​ $ ( 1.43 ) ​ Vested RSUs and PSUs have dividend rights identical to the Company’s Common Stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Unvested RSUs of 2,594,497 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would be anti-dilutive. Unvested RSUs of 467,353 and 548,419 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would be anti-dilutive. Unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings (loss) per share, if dilutive, based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the award agreements if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Unvested PSUs of 1,403,682 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (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. Unvested PSUs of 192,052 and 294,251 at certain performance targets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, 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. The Company has excluded approximately 82.6 million shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchangeable Notes and related Exchange Adjustment Consideration from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, because they would be anti-dilutive. ​ 36 Table of Contents ​ NOTE 13 —SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Debt Exchanges.
