Carmike Cinemas Announces Filing of Form 10-Q, Restatement of Prior Period Results, Cash Dividend and Election of New Director

  Share With Friends

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. announced today that it filed its Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004. Previously, Carmike announced that it was delaying the filing of its Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004 due to its ongoing evaluation of certain lease accounting issues related to transactions entered into in prior periods.

Concurrently with the Form 10-Q, Carmike is also filing a Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 to reflect the restatement of its consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto, and related disclosures for the years ended 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. Carmike also intends to file Form 10-Q/As for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, to reflect the restatement of its unaudited consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and related disclosures for such quarters. These restatements are necessary in order to correct the improper reporting of certain leases as operating leases, rather than as financing obligations, as well as to record an adjustment to Carmike's deferred tax asset resulting from the identification of additional tax deductions related to certain bankruptcy-related costs incurred in prior periods.

As a result of the restatements, for 2003, total assets increased from the originally reported $604.3 million to $634.6 million and total debt increased from $376.4 million to $393.1 million. In addition, operating income increased from $67.8 million to $71.0 million and net income decreased from $107.4 million to $106.4 million. Please refer to the tables included with this press release for a summary of the changes resulting from the restatement for 2001, 2002 and 2003. The impact of the restatements for the first and second quarter of 2004 will be reflected in Form 10-Q/As which we expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable.

"As we previously expressed, Carmike appreciates the patience and understanding our stockholders have given the company during this delay," stated Martin A. Durant, Carmike's Senior Vice President -- Finance, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. "In addition, with the filing of our Form 10-Q for the third quarter, we intend to request The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. to end its proceedings for delisting the company's stock and to re-instate the company's ticker symbol 'CKEC.'"

Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2004

Carmike reported today its total revenues decreased to $116.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to total revenues of $128.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in revenue is attributable to lower attendance which was impacted by industry trends generally and storms that impacted certain of Carmike's markets in the southeastern United States. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased 2.9% to $105.6 million from $108.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $12.2 million, an increase of 31.2% compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $7.6 million, a decrease of 18.3% from $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Basic and diluted net income per common share decreased to $0.64 and $0.60, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $1.03 and $.98, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $367.0 million, compared to $361.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $316.2 million, an increase of 2.9%, compared to $307.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Operating income was $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of 7.1% when compared to $54.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Theatre level cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $91.3 million, an increase of 4.7% compared to $87.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2004, Carmike had total debt outstanding of $319.5 million and net debt of $281.1 million.

Election of New Director

Fred W. Van Noy, Senior Vice President -- Chief Operating Officer of Carmike, has been elected to the Board of Directors. "In his 29 years with Carmike, Fred has distinguished himself in the motion picture exhibitor industry," said Michael W. Patrick, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Based upon Fred's experience, we are confident that he will make significant contributions and provide valuable insight to the board."

Mr. Van Noy joined Carmike in 1975. He served as a District Manager from 1984 to 1985 and as Western Division Manager from 1985 to 1988, when he became Vice President -- General Manager. In December 1997, he was elected to the position of Senior Vice President -- Operations. In November 2000, he became Senior Vice President -- Chief Operating Officer.

Carmike is a leading motion picture exhibitor in the United States with 285 theatres and 2,195 screens in 36 states, as of September 30, 2004. Carmike's focus for its theatre locations is small to mid-sized communities with populations of fewer than 100,000. Carmike's common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol "CKECE." For more information visit Carmike's website, www.carmike.com.

Total debt, net debt and theatre level cash flows are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by Carmike to evaluate its operating performance. Total debt is defined as the sum of long-term debt, capital lease and financing obligations and current maturities of long-term debt, capital lease and financing obligations. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Theatre level cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by Carmike to evaluate its operating performance. Carmike defines theatre level cash flow as operating income plus general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and the reserve for pending litigation minus gain on disposals of property and equipment. Carmike believes that theatre level cash flow is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a motion picture exhibitor's operations because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and pending litigation reserves. In addition, Carmike believes that theatre level cash flow, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the motion picture exhibition industry. A reconciliation of theatre level cash flow to operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, as well as a schedule of total debt and net debt is included in the table accompanying this press release.
