NEW YORK, NY – February 21, 2013 – IMAX Corporation (NYSE:IMAX; TSX:IMX) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012, driven by continued theatre network growth and strong box office performance, derived from a diverse global film portfolio. Fourth quarter 2012 revenues were $77.8 million, adjusted EBITDA as calculated in accordance with the Company’s Credit Facility was $27.4 million, adjusted net income was $15.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, and reported net income was $12.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share.

“Our fourth quarter results once again demonstrated the operating leverage inherent in the IMAX business model and was a strong finish to a successful year for the Company,” said IMAX Chief Executive Officer Richard L. Gelfond. “We executed on all key fronts, with the combination of network expansion and an increasingly global portfolio approach to our film slate translating into solid financial results.”

Network Growth Update

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company signed contracts for 38 theatre systems, of which 28 were systems in new theatre locations, and installed 46 theatre systems, of which 43 were systems in new theatre locations. For the full year of 2012, the Company signed contracts for 142 theatre systems, of which 121 were systems in new theatre locations, and installed 125 theatre systems, of which 107 were systems in new theatre locations.

The total IMAX® theatre network consisted of 731 systems as of Dec. 31, 2012, of which 598 were in commercial multiplexes.

“We believe the financial and strategic accomplishments of 2012 re-confirmed IMAX’s position as a unique global player in the film industry and laid a solid foundation for long-term growth,” Mr. Gelfond concluded. “Our 2013 objectives are straight forward - continue to expand our footprint worldwide, maximize the scalability of our business and further leverage our differentiated end-to-end technology platform to enable more leading filmmakers and studios to create an entertainment experience that cannot be found anywhere else.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In this release, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share as supplemental measures of performance of the Company, which are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”). The Company presents adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income 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 variable share-based compensation, provision for arbitration award and deferred taxes on its net income. 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, adjusted net income and adjusted net income 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated on a basis consistent with the Company’s Credit Facility, which refers to Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA. As of December 31, 2012, the Credit Facility provided that the Company was required to maintain a ratio of funded debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 2:1. The Company was also required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.1:1.0. As of December 31, 2012, under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company was required to maintain minimum Excess Availability of not less than $5.0 million and minimum Cash and Excess Availability of not less than $15.0 million. The ratio of funded debt to EBITDA was 0.10:1 as at December 31, 2012, where Funded Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments and was $11.0 million. EBITDA is calculated as follows:

Net income for the quarter includes a $2.9 million charge or $0.04 per diluted share (2011 – $2.7 million or $0.04 per diluted share) for stock-based compensation. Adjusted net income, which consists of net income excluding the impact of stock-based compensation and the related tax impact, was $15.7 million or $0.23 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to adjusted net income of $8.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share is presented in the table below:

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a $13.1 million charge or 0.19 per diluted share (2011 — $11.7 million or 0.17 per diluted share) for stock-based compensation. Net income for December 31, 2011 also includes a one-time $2.1 million pre-tax charge ($0.03 per diluted share) due to an arbitration award arising from an arbitration proceeding brought against the Company in connection with a discontinued subsidiary. Adjusted net income, which consists of net income excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, the charge for arbitration award and the related tax impact, was $54.3 million or $0.80 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to adjusted net income of $28.0 million or $0.41 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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:
