Forward guidance

Improving COVID-19 conditions in our markets, significant progress related to the vaccines, along with growing consumer confidence gives us encouragement that better days are ahead. The company’s liquidity also remains strong, with approximately $227 million in cash and revolving credit availability at year end.

Tailwinds

  • Improving COVID-19 conditions in our markets.
  • Significant progress related to the vaccines.
  • Growing consumer confidence.
  • Government-imposed restrictions in New York City, one of the world’s largest movie markets, are beginning to lift.
  • The film slate for the remainder of 2021, which now includes multiple films originally scheduled for 2020, is currently expected to be very strong, particularly during the second half of the year.

Headwinds

  • New state and local restrictions in several markets required the temporary reclosure of several theatres during the fourth quarter.
  • Group pace for fiscal 2021 is behind last year, with a large portion of that decline attributed to one-time event bookings in anticipation of Milwaukee hosting the Democratic National Convention in 2020.
  • The adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our theatre and hotels and resorts businesses, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, financial condition, access to credit markets and ability to service our existing and future indebtedness
  • The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government restrictions and social distancing requirements and the level of customer demand following the relaxation of such requirements
  • The availability, in terms of both quantity and audience appeal, of motion pictures for our theatre division
