IMAX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. Basis of Presentation
Accounting Principles
IMAX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company” or “IMAX”), prepares financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all necessary adjustments for a fair statement of interim results. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2025 Form 10-K”). The interim results presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain prior period comparatives have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, which includes significant accounting policies adopted by the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of IMAX together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which have been identified as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs as required by U.S. GAAP.
The Company has interests in ten film production companies, which have been identified as VIEs. The Company is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates five of these entities as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the respective VIE that could potentially be significant. The majority of the assets relating to these production companies are held by the IMAX Original Film Fund (the “Original Film Fund”). The Company does not consolidate the other five film production companies because it does not have the power to direct their activities and it does not have the obligation to absorb the majority of the expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for these entities, which continues to not be material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A change in the value of an equity method investment that is other than temporary is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs were as follows:
June 30, December 31,
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars) 2026 2025
Total assets
$ 1,818 $ 1,746
Total liabilities

Table of Contents
Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes judgments in applying various accounting policies. The areas of policy judgment are consistent with those reported in Note 2 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K. The significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: (i) the allocation of the transaction price in an IMAX System arrangement to distinct performance obligations; (ii) the amount of variable consideration to be earned on sales of IMAX Systems based on projections of future box office performance and inflation; (iii) expected credit losses on accounts receivable, financing receivables, and variable consideration receivables; (iv) provisions for the write-down of excess and obsolete inventories; (v) the fair values of the reporting units used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (vi) the cash flow projections used in testing the recoverability of long-lived assets such as the system equipment supporting joint revenue sharing arrangements (“JRSAs”); (vii) the economic lives of the system equipment supporting joint revenue sharing arrangements; (viii) the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets; (ix) the ultimate revenue forecasts used to test the recoverability of film assets; (x) the discount rates used to determine the present value of financing receivables, variable consideration and lease liabilities, as well as to determine the fair values of the Company’s reporting units for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (xi) pension plan assumptions; (xii) estimates related to the fair value and projected vesting of share-based payment awards; (xiii) the valuation allowance of deferred income tax assets; and (xiv) reserves related to uncertain tax positions.
2. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide a practical expedient that allows entities to assume current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged throughout the reasonable and supportable forecast period when estimating expected credit losses for eligible financial assets, including trade receivables and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification Updates Not Yet Adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 expand disclosures about specific expense categories presented on the face of the income statement and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses). ASU 2024-03 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). The amendments in ASU 2025-06 clarify and refine the criteria for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software. Under the new guidance, capitalization is permitted when both of the following conditions are met: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Hedge Accounting Improvements
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”). The amendments in ASU 2025-09 more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities for (i) similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, (ii) hedging forecasted interest payment on choose-your-rate debt instruments, (iii) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (iv) net written options as hedging instruments, and (v) foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument as hedging instrument and hedged item. ASU 2025-09 is effective
11
Table of Contents
for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities” (“ASU 2025-10”). The amendments in ASU 2025-10 establishes accounting and guidance for a government grant received by an entity. Under the new guidance, a government grant is not recognized until it is probable that an entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received, and recognition guidance is met. A grant related to an asset is recognized on the balance sheet as an entity incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued FASB accounting standard codification updates. ASUs that are not noted above were assessed and determined to be not applicable or not significant to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2026.
3. Receivables
The ability of the Company to collect its receivables is principally dependent on the viability and solvency of individual theater operators which is significantly influenced by consumer behavior and general economic conditions. Theater operators, or other customers, may experience financial difficulties that could result in them being unable to fulfill their payment obligations to the Company.
In order to mitigate the credit risk associated with the Company’s receivables, management performs an initial credit evaluation prior to entering into an arrangement with a customer and then regularly monitors the credit quality of each customer through an analysis of collections history and aging. This monitoring process includes meetings on at least a monthly basis to identify credit concerns and potential changes in credit quality classification. A customer may improve their credit quality classification once a substantial payment is made on an overdue balance or when the customer has agreed to a payment plan and payments have commenced in accordance with that plan. Changes in credit quality classification are dependent upon management approval. The Company’s internal credit quality classifications are reported in Note 4 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K.
During the period when the accretion of Finance Income is suspended for Financing Receivables, any payments received from a customer are applied against the outstanding balance owed. If payments are sufficient to cover any unreserved receivables, a reversal of the provision is recorded to the extent of the residual cash received. Once the collectability issues are resolved and the customer has returned to being in good standing, the Company will resume recognition of Finance Income.
When a customer’s aging exceeds 90 days, the Company’s policy is to perform an enhanced review to assess collectability of the theater’s past due accounts. The over 90 days past due category may be an indicator of potential impairment as up to 90 days outstanding is considered to be a reasonable time to resolve any issues.
The Company develops an estimate of expected credit losses by class of receivable and customer type through a calculation that utilizes historical loss rates, which are then adjusted for specific receivables that are judged to have a higher-than-normal risk profile after considering management’s internal credit quality classifications. Additional credit loss provisions are also recorded taking into account macro-economic and industry risk factors. The write-off of any billed receivable balance requires the approval of management.
Management’s judgments regarding expected credit losses are based on the facts available to management and involve estimates about the future. As a result, the Company’s judgments and associated estimates of credit losses may ultimately prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be incorrect. The impacts of inflation, and rising interest rates may impact future credit losses. The Company will continue to monitor economic trends and conditions and portfolio performance and adjust its allowance for credit loss accordingly.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable principally includes amounts currently due to the Company under IMAX System sale and sales-type lease arrangements, contingent fees owed by theater operators as a result of box office performance, and fees for maintenance services. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due to the Company from movie studios and other content creators principally for digitally remastering films into IMAX formats, as well as for film distribution and post-production services.

4. Lease Arrangements
IMAX Corporation as a Lessor
The Company provides IMAX Systems to customers through long-term lease arrangements that for accounting purposes are classified as sales-type leases. Under these arrangements, in exchange for providing the IMAX System, the Company earns fixed upfront and ongoing consideration. Certain arrangements that are legal sales are also classified as sales-type leases as certain clauses within the arrangements limit transfer of title or provide the Company with conditional rights to the system. The customer’s rights under the Company’s sales-type lease arrangements are described in Note 2 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K. Under the Company’s sales-type lease arrangements, the customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Company’s lease portfolio terms are typically non-cancellable for 10 to 20 years with renewal provisions from inception. The Company’s sales-type lease arrangements do not contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance and an extended warranty generally after the first year of the lease until the end of the lease term. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the IMAX System commencing on the date specified in the arrangement’s shipping terms and ending on the date the IMAX System is returned to the Company.
The Company also provides IMAX Systems to customers through JRSAs. Under the traditional form of these arrangements, in exchange for providing the IMAX System under a long-term lease, the Company earns rent based on a percentage of contingent box office receipts and, in some cases, concession revenues, rather than a fixed upfront fee or annual minimum payments.
Under certain other JRSAs, known as hybrid arrangements, the customer is responsible for making fixed upfront payments prior to the delivery and installation of the IMAX System.
Under JRSAs, the customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Company’s JRSAs are typically non-cancellable for ten years or longer with renewal provisions. Title to the IMAX System under a JRSA generally does not transfer to the customer. The Company’s JRSAs do not contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance and an extended warranty throughout the term. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the IMAX System commencing on the date specified in the arrangement’s shipping terms and ending on the date the IMAX System is returned to the Company.
The following lease payments are expected to be received by the Company for its sales-type leases and JRSAs in each of the remainder of 2026, next four years and thereafter following the June 30, 2026 balance sheet date:

Wells Fargo Credit Agreement
The Company is a party to a Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2025 (the “Credit Agreement”), that provides for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving borrowing capacity of $ 375.0 million, and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company to further increase its borrowing capacity by the greater of $ 140.0 million or by the Company’s EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (“Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility”) for the sum of the four most recently ended fiscal quarters, subject to certain conditions, depending on the mix of revolving loans and/or term loans under the incremental facility and subject to conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement requires that the Company does not exceed a maximum Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) of 3.25 :1.00, which may be increased under certain circumstances and is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2026 as the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio was 0.00 :1.00.
Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (i) Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Term CORRA plus a margin ranging from 1.00 % to 1.75 % per annum or (ii) the U.S. base rate or the Canadian prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.00 % per annum, in each case depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio. In no event will Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Term CORRA be less than 0.00 % per annum.
As of June 30, 2026, borrowings under the Credit Facility were $ 41.0 million (December 31, 2025 — $ 37.0 million) and bore interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin of 1.50 % per annum (December 31, 2025 — 1.50 %) based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The effective interest rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were 5.14 % and 5.16 %, respectively (2025 — 6.17 %, respectively).

2026 Convertible Notes
On March 19, 2021, the Company issued $ 230.0 million of 0.500 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2026 Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions to reduce potential dilution in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Convertible Notes.
On November 6, 2025, the Company completed the repurchase of $ 229.3 million (or 99.7 %) of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes in separate, privately negotiated repurchase transactions with a limited number of holders. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, certain holders of the remaining outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes elected to convert 217 notes $ 0.2 million of the outstanding principal. As a result of this election, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $ 0.1 million in Interest Expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The liability for the converted bonds was settled on April 1, 2026, along with the remaining unconverted and outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes. Concurrently with this April 1, 2026 transaction, the Company terminated the remaining portion of the associated 2026 capped call transactions.
2030 Convertible Notes
On November 6, 2025, the Company issued $ 250.0 million of 0.750 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes were $ 243.1 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions, and were used to repurchase $ 229.3 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes.
The 2030 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 0.750 % per annum on the principal of $ 250.0 million, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2030 Convertible Notes will mature on November 15, 2030, unless they are redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted on an earlier date.
The Company continues to record the Convertible Notes entirely as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other debt issuance costs, with interest expense reflecting the cash coupon plus the amortization of the discounts and capitalized costs.
Federal Economic Development Loan
As of June 30, 2026, the Federal Economic Development Loan (as defined and described in Note 13 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2025 Form 10-K) had a carrying value of $ 0.6 million, net of unaccreted interest benefit and is recorded within Convertible Notes and Other Borrowings, Net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
7. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Commitments
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company enters into contractual agreements with third parties that include non-cancelable payment obligations, for which it is liable in future periods. These arrangements can include terms binding the Company to minimum payments and/or penalties if it terminates the agreement for any reason other than an event of default as described by the agreement.
Contingencies and guarantees
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to these legal contingencies, as well as potential ranges of probable or reasonably possible losses. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of the amount of any liability recorded or disclosed is reviewed at least quarterly based on a careful analysis of each individual exposure with, in some cases, the assistance of outside legal counsel, taking into account the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, and other pertinent information related to the case. The amount of liabilities recorded or disclosed for these contingencies may change in the future due to changes in management’s judgments resulting from new developments or changes in settlement strategy. Any resulting adjustment to the liabilities recorded by the Company could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such changes in judgment occur. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims, and proceedings as incurred.
In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theatre Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced an arbitration seeking damages before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) with respect to the

Table of Contents
breach by Electronic Media Limited (“EML”) of its December 2000 agreement with the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against EML’s affiliate, E-City Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (“E-City”). On March 27, 2008, the arbitration panel issued a final award in favor of the Company in the amount of $ 11.3 million, as well as an additional $ 2,512 each day in interest from October 1, 2007 until the date the award is paid. In July 2008, E-City commenced a proceeding in Mumbai, India seeking to prevent recognition of the ICC award in India. On March 10, 2017, the Supreme Court of India dismissed E-City’s petition. On March 29, 2017, the Company filed an Execution Application in the Bombay High Court seeking to enforce the ICC award against E-City and several related parties. On December 30, 2025, the Commercial Appellate Division of the Bombay High Court rejected E-City’s objections to enforcement of the arbitration award and recognized the award as a decree of the Court. The E-City parties have appealed this decision to the Supreme Court of India. The Company fully intends to continue pursuing its rights and seeking to enforce the arbitration award. No amounts have been recognized in connection with this matter.
Financial Guarantees
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have provided significant financial guarantees to third parties under the Credit Agreement.
Product Warranties
The Company’s accrual for product warranties, which is recorded within Accrued and Other Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was less than $ 0.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and $ nil as of December 31, 2025.
Director and Officer Indemnifications
The Company’s by-laws contain an indemnification of its directors/officers, former directors/officers, and persons who have acted at its request to be a director/officer of an entity in which the Company is a shareholder or creditor, to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act , against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and any amounts actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which the directors and/or officers are sued as a result of their service, if they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors in order to effectuate the foregoing. The nature of the indemnification prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. The Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. No amount has been accrued on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, with respect to this indemnity.
Other Indemnification Agreements
In the normal course of its operations, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in transactions such as: IMAX System lease and sale agreements and the supervision of installation or servicing of IMAX Systems; film production, exhibition and distribution agreements; real property lease agreements; and employment agreements. These indemnification agreements require the Company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of litigation claims that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction or the Company’s breach or non-performance under these agreements. While the terms of these indemnification agreements vary based upon the contract, they normally extend for the life of the agreements. A small number of agreements do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential amount of indemnification; however, virtually all of the IMAX System lease and sale agreements limit such maximum potential liability to the purchase price of the system. The fact that the maximum potential amount of indemnification required by the Company is not specified in some cases prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications and no amounts have been accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities.

10. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $ 3.5 million (2025 — $ 1.2 million). The Company’s effective tax rate of 18.1 % for the three months ended June 30, 2026 reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, a decrease in the valuation allowance and tax reserves, partially offset by withholding taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate of 8.9 % for the three months ended June 30, 2025 reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions and a decrease in the valuation allowance.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $ 5.9 million (2025 — $ 8.5 million). The Company’s effective tax rate of 21.2 % for the six months ended June 30, 2026, reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, tax benefit from share-based compensation, tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, and reversals of tax reserves, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance and withholding taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate of 29.4 % for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions which was offset by an increase in the valuation allowance, tax return adjustments and withholding taxes.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included net deferred income tax assets of $ 12.5 million (December 31, 2025 — $ 12.6 million). Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including recent operating results, forecasts of future taxable income, and other relevant factors specific to our industry such as the success of new film releases. Based on the Company’s recent operating results in Canada and its expectation of continued profitability, management believes there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available within the next twelve months to support the release of some or all of the valuation allowance recorded against its Canadian deferred tax assets. However, as of June 30, 2026, management has concluded that the available positive evidence is not yet sufficient to overcome the remaining negative evidence and support realization of those deferred tax assets. Any such release would result in a material income tax benefit in the period the conclusion is reached. At December 31, 2025, the amount of the Canadian valuation allowance was $ 55.5 million. The timing and amount of a valuation allowance release will depend on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in Canada, macroeconomic conditions, and other factors affecting management’s assessment.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets also included deferred tax liabilities of $ 12.5 million (December 31, 2025 — $ 12.5 million) primarily related to foreign withholding taxes associated with the remaining balance of non-repatriated historical earnings that will not be indefinitely reinvested outside of Canada.
As disclosed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company is subject to ongoing tax audits. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company received a proposal letter from the Canada Revenue Agency related to an examination of international matters in prior taxation years. Any potential reassessment encompasses an ultimate resolution involving multiple tax jurisdictions, which may result in offsetting tax differences from what was originally recognized in its financial statements. The Company continues to believe that it has adequately accounted for all uncertain tax positions, including this pending notice of reassessment.

IMAX LTIP Performance Stock Units (“PSU”) Summary
The Company grants two types of PSU award, one which vests based on a combination of employee service and the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA targets and one which vests based on a combination of employee service and the achievement of total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets. The achievement of these targets is assessed over a three-year performance period, with vesting ranging from 0 % to 200 % of the initial Adjusted EBITDA PSU award or 200 % of the initial TSR PSU award, depending upon actual performance.
For the 2026 grants, the grant date fair value for Adjusted EBITDA PSUs is determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the sixty calendar days prior to the date of grant. The grant date fair value for TSR PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo Model, influenced by share price and various assumptions, such as market conditions and expected share price volatility over the term of the awards.
The compensation expense attributable for each type of PSU is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. If, as a result of management’s assessment, it is projected that a greater or lesser number of PSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to increase or decrease compensation expense is recorded in the period that such determination is made. The expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 includes adjustments reflecting management’s estimate of the number of Adjusted EBITDA PSUs expected to vest.
The following table summarizes the activity in respect of PSUs issued under the IMAX LTIP for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted
56,569 55,161 56,475 55,064
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes 72,493 shares, respectively (2025 — 929,825 and 968,984 shares, respectively) that are issuable upon the vesting or exercise of share-based compensation including: (i) nil RSUs (2025 — nil RSUs), (ii) 72,493 PSUs (2025 — 86,784 and 125,943 PSUs, respectively) and (iii) nil stock options (2025 — 843,041 stock options), as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 also excludes any shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes as the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period of time they were outstanding was less than the conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

Deferred Revenue
IMAX System sale and lease arrangements include a requirement for the Company to provide maintenance services over the life of the arrangement, some of which maintenance services are subject to a consumer price index adjustment each year. In circumstances where customers prepay the entire term’s maintenance fee based on the original arrangement, additional payments are due to the Company for the years after its extended warranty and maintenance obligations expire. Payments, upon renewal each year, are either prepaid or made in arrears and can vary in frequency from monthly to annually. As of June 30, 2026, $ 19.8 million of consideration has been deferred in relation to outstanding maintenance services to be provided on existing maintenance contracts (December 31, 2025 — $ 28.3 million).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, $ 10.6 million and $ 19.4 million of revenue, respectively, was recognized from the $ 50.4 million balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2025.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates.
A majority of the Company’s revenues are denominated in U.S. Dollars while a significant portion of its costs and expenses are denominated in Canadian Dollars. A portion of the Company’s net U.S. Dollar cash is converted to Canadian Dollars to fund Canadian Dollar expenses through the spot market. In China and Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations in RMB, HKD and Japanese Yen, respectively. Net cash flows are converted to and from U.S. Dollars through the spot market. The Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in RMB, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars and Euros which are converted to U.S. Dollars through the spot market. In addition, because IMAX films generate box office receipts in 91 different countries, unfavorable exchange rates between applicable local currencies and the U.S. Dollar could have an impact on box-office receipts and the Company’s revenues and results of operations. The Company’s policy is to not use any financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
The Company has entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risks associated with the volatility of foreign currencies. Certain of these foreign currency forward contracts met the criteria required for hedge accounting under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC at inception, and continued to meet hedge effectiveness tests as of June 30, 2026 (the “Foreign Currency Hedges”), with settlement dates throughout 2026 and 2027. Foreign currency derivatives are recognized and measured on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations except for derivatives designated and qualifying as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments. The Company currently has cash flow hedging instruments associated with Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments related to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, the effective portion of the gain or loss in a hedge of a forecasted transaction is reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) and reclassified to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
