$AMC, the theater operator, has reported second-quarter results that exceeded expectations.
This was driven by a 12% rise in attendance and higher per-guest spending, which went well beyond pre-pandemic levels.
The company achieved a net income of $8.6 million, or 1 cent per share, a significant improvement from a loss of $121.6 million, or 12 cents per share, in the same period last year.
Excluding one-time items, AMC reached a break-even point on an adjusted per-share basis, surpassing the FactSet consensus that predicted a per-share loss of 4 cents.
The company's revenue saw a 15.6% growth, reaching $1.35 billion, surpassing the FactSet consensus of $1.29 billion.
This growth was driven by a 12.2% increase in attendance to 66.37 million, a 1.8% rise in average ticket price to $11.21, and a 9.7% climb in food and beverage revenue per patron to $7.36.
