"The third quarter further validates our ongoing commitment to delivering bottom line results and advancing our corporate initiatives," stated Richard L.

There were 439 theaters in backlog as of September 30, 2014, compared to 356 in backlog as of September 30, 2013. In the third quarter of 2014, the Company signed contracts for 42 theaters systems, of which 36 were for new locations and 6 were for system upgrades.

"We continue to see robust worldwide signing activity, including 42 new deals this quarter, bringing our year-to-date signings total to over 100, which really demonstrates the demand for IMAX globally," continued Gelfond. "I am also extremely enthusiastic about a demonstration I saw of our new laser projection system this quarter; it is truly spectacular. Couple this with our operating leverage potential and our ongoing focus on marketing and quality, and I believe we are well positioned to take advantage of what are shaping up to be strong film years in 2015 and 2016."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:


In this release, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share as supplemental measures of performance of the Company,
which are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common
shareholders per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable controllable operating performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand the impact of its stock-based compensation (net of any related tax
impact) on net income attributable to common shareholders. Management uses these measures to review operating performance on a comparable basis from period to period. However, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and other
measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.


The Credit Facility provides that the Company will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.1:1. The Company will also be required to maintain minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $90.0 million
on December 31, 2014, which requirement increases to $100.0 million on December 31, 2015. The Company must also maintain a Maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.00:1 on December 31, 2014, which requirement decreases to 1.75:1 on December 31,
2015. The ratio of total debt to EBITDA was nil:1 as at September 30, 2014, where Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments and was $nil. EBITDA is calculated as follows:

Free Cash Flow:


Free cash flow is defined as cash
provided by operating activities
minus cash used in investing
activities (from the consolidated
statements of cash flows). Cash
provided by operating activities
consist of net income, plus
depreciation and amortization,
plus the change in deferred
income taxes, plus other non-
cash items, plus changes in
working capital, less investment
in film assets, plus other
changes in operating assets and
liabilities. Cash used in
investing activities includes
capital expenditures,
acquisitions and other cash used
in investing activities.
Management views free cash flow,
a non-GAAP measure, as a measure
of the Company's after-tax cash
flow available to reduce debt,
add to cash balances, and fund
other financing activities. A
reconciliation of cash provided
by operating activities to free
cash flow is presented in the
table below:
