    CINEWORLD GROUP plc Interim Results for the period ended 30 June 2020 Cineworld Group plc (“the Group”) presents its interim results for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2020. These results are presented in US Dollars. Summary The COVID-19 global pandemic has adversely affected the Group’s results for the period, with all sites across the Group closed between mid-March to late June/August 2020 561 out of 778 sites are re-opened as at the date of this report, with 200 theatres in the US (mostly in CA and NY), 6 in the UK and 11 in Israel still closed Group revenue of $712.4m (2019: $2,151.2m) and Group Adjusted EBITDA $53.0m (2019: $758.6m) for the period was severely impacted by these cinema closures Management’s main priorities have been the safety of customers and employees, cash preservation and cost reduction $360.8m additional liquidity raised during the period At the date of reporting negotiations with the banks remain ongoing in order to obtain covenant waivers in respect of December 2020 and June 2021. This has resulted in a disclaimer conclusion being issued by the auditor. Termination of Cineplex transaction in June 2020 Outlook Steady performance of re-opened sites in ROW territories and initial admission build-up in the UK and US driven by the release of “Tenet” and local movies There can be no certainty as to the future impact of COVID-19 on the Group. If Governments were to strengthen restrictions on social gathering, which may therefore oblige us to close our estate again or further push back movie releases, it would have a negative impact on our financial performance and likely require the need to raise additional liquidity.

  • Market Overview
    Market Overview Update 23 June 2020 • EUR / USD jumps on strong PMI data • UK coronavirus rule announcements • UK & Europe down / US up • Irish Economy Contact us: T: +353 (0) 1 421 0091 E: [email protected] EUR/USD jumps on strong PMI data : PMI Tuesday kicked off in an upbeat fashion as the Japanese prints released overnight, provide further signs of the economy coming up off its coronavirus lows in June. The flash composite PMI rose to 37.9 in June from 27.8 in May. The recovery was driven by the services sector, whilst manufacturing dipped. Importantly though the Japanese recovery clearly still has a long way to go with index still well below the 50 breakeven mark. Next up was the French PMI, which has seen all three prints beating market expectations significantly and more importantly all three components clicked over the 50.0 expansionary mark. Strong German numbers followed shortly thereafter, taking the three components slightly over market consensus to sit in/around 45, a bit off the 50.0 breakeven mark. The benchmark EUR/USD rate has jumped back up over the $1.13 level on the news, over 100 points from yesterday’s lows. Next up we have US prints due later in the day. Here’s hoping the positive trend continues, so far so good. UK coronavirus rule announcements: Later today, UK PM, Boris Johnson is set to announce that he has decided to reduce the 2m social distancing rule. Newspapers are rife with speculation of what conditions might be attached, with a “1-meter plus” system trailed in the Sunday Telegraph, such that people will be allowed to sit one meter apart in venues provided mitigating factors are in place – these might include face coverings, perspex screens, ventilation and strict hygiene.
