For the three months ended December 31, 2010, admissions revenues decreased 2.8% to $341.7 million and concession revenues decreased 4.5% to $153.8 million.

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 8.3% to $2,141.1 million from $1,976.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, admissions revenues increased 8.7% to $1,405.4 million and concession revenues increased 6.5% to $642.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 9.1% to $485.9 million from $445.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to $146.1 million from $97.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.
 
(2)   Non-cash expense included in facility lease expense.
 
(3)   Non-cash expense included in other theatre operating expenses.
 
(4)   Non-cash expense included in general and administrative expenses.
