As a dedicated movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magic of the silver screen at Regal Theaters, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and optimism about the latest developments in their restructuring process. Having witnessed the transformation of many a classic cinematic experience at their theaters over the years, I am thrilled to see them taking strides towards financial stability.
Regal Cinemas, the second largest movie theater chain in the U.S., is making its next move in its reorganization plan.
On Tuesday, the Cineworld division based in Knoxville announced they have obtained a $1.9 billion Term B loan as part of their most recent refinancing plan with a maturity date set for December 2031. This financing deal also includes a $350 million revolving credit facility.
Under the supervision of Barclays, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Texas Capital, this agreement represents the most recent financial restructuring initiative undertaken by the company.
In its latest quarter, Regal reported generating over a billion dollars in total earnings and serving approximately 49 million cinema-goers at their venues.
By July, Regal had obtained $250 million to renovate and enhance its theaters, which included installing luxury recliners and additional amenities. This project encompassed 425 locations nationwide. However, Regal’s parent company, Cineworld, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2022. After undergoing a restructuring process, the company successfully emerged from it last year.
Eduardo Acuna, CEO at Regal Cineworld, commented that the highly favorable market response to this deal indicates the strong momentum in our business. In the third quarter alone, we had over 49 million visitors at our theaters and earned more than $1 billion in total revenue, setting new highs for spending on concessions per person. With this refinancing transaction, we’ll save approximately $60 million annually in interest costs, demonstrating that our successful restructuring is now behind us.
