READING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
As of and for the three Months Ended March 31, 2026
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SEGMENT REPORTING
Our Company
Reading International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RDI” and collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries and corporate predecessors, the “Company,” “Reading,” and “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in 1999. Our businesses consist primarily of:
the development, ownership, and operation of cinemas in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand; and
the development, ownership, operation and/or rental of retail, commercial and live venue real estate assets in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT
Going Concern
We continue to evaluate the going concern assertion required by ASC 205-40 Going Concern as it relates to our Company. The evaluation of the going concern assertion involves considering whether it is probable that our Company has sufficient resources, as at the issue date of the financial statements, to meet its obligations as they fall due for twelve months following the issue date. Should it be probable that there are not sufficient resources, we must develop plans to overcome that shortfall. We must then determine whether it is probable that our plans will be effectively implemented and will mitigate the consequential going concern substantial doubt.
We have $35.5 million of debt due in twelve months, cash of $5.5 million and negative working capital of $86.1 million. As a result, we have developed a plan to address and overcome the going concern uncertainty. Our plan is informed by current liquidity positions, debt obligations, our beliefs about the marketability of certain real estate properties, our beliefs about the recovery of the global cinema industry, cash flow estimates, known capital and other expenditure requirements and commitments and our current business plan and strategies. Our Company’s business plan - two businesses (real estate and cinema) in three countries (Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.) - has served us well historically and is key to management’s overall evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern.
While we believe that, with an increase in the quantity and quality of films being released to cinemas compared to pre-pandemic levels, patronage and operating revenue levels will improve, we have no control over attendance levels and no assurances can be given as to the nature of the reception of future movies by the movie-going public.
We continue the process of refinancing and/or extending certain loans, as further discussed in Note 13 Borrowings. In summary, we have extended the maturity dates on, or otherwise amended, the following facilities:
-Bank of America $6.0 million (matures September 18, 2026)
-Valley National $19.7 million (matures October 1, 2026)
-Emerald Creek $46.1 million (matures November 6, 2026 with options to extend to November 2027)
-NAB $64.6 million (matures July 31, 2030)
Moreover, we intend to raise the liquidity necessary for the next twelve months from refinancings and real estate asset monetization. Management has been authorized to pursue such actions where necessary. In February 2026 we began the process of monetizing our Cinemas 1,2,3 property. We believe we have more than sufficient marketable real estate assets that can be monetized on a timely basis and at the values required to meet our funding needs over the next twelve months. Having sold nine property assets with combined proceeds of $197.5 million since 2021, we believe in our ability to complete the monetization of our Cinemas 1,2,3 property.
In conclusion, as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, based on our evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern and the current conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, and our various plans for enhancing liquidity and the extent to which those plans are progressing, we conclude that our plan to raise sufficient liquidity primarily through certain real estate asset monetizations to the extent needed is probable of being implemented to the extent required such that this alleviates the substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Impairment Considerations
Our Company considers that the events and factors described above constitute impairment indicators under ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. At December 31, 2025, our Company performed a quantitative recoverability test of the carrying values of all its asset groups. Our Company estimated the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these asset groups and found that no impairment charge was necessary. The three months ended March 31, 2026, produced higher revenues and operating income compared to the same period in 2025, and we believe that this improved performance at an asset group level will continue throughout the remainder of 2026. As a result, we recorded no impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, many of which are subject to the uncertainties associated with among other things, the factors presented above, and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.
Our Company also considers that the events and factors described above continue to constitute impairment indicators under ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Our Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2025. The test was performed at a reporting unit level by comparing each reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill, to its fair value. The fair value of each reporting unit was assessed using a discounted cash flow model based on the budgetary revisions performed by management in response to the developing market conditions. No impairment charges were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, including among other things, the factors presented above, and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as majority-owned subsidiaries that our Company controls and should be read in conjunction with our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.
Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant estimates include (i) projections we make regarding the recoverability and impairment of our assets (including goodwill and intangibles), (ii) valuations of our derivative instruments, (iii) recoverability of our deferred tax assets, (iv) estimation of breakage and redemption experience rates, which drive how we recognize breakage on our gift card and gift certificates, and revenue from our customer loyalty programs, and (v) estimation of our Incremental Borrowing Rate (“IBR”) as relates to the valuation of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted:
ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
On December 16, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-07: Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands the disclosures required by public entities for reportable segments. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 has had no material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements from a recognition and measurement perspective, and has not altered our reportable segments, but has enhanced our disclosure of certain expenses and profitability measurement.
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
Effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require entities to disclose on an annual basis (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments also require that entities disclose various information about income taxes paid and (i) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and (ii) foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 has had no material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements from a recognition and measurement perspective, but has enhanced our disclosure of certain income tax matters.
Recently Announced:
ASU 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40)—Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 4 – SEGMENT REPORTING
We report information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments with a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. We have organized our business into two reportable segments, being cinema exhibition and real estate.
Our cinema exhibition segment aggregates all our cinemas, both leased and owned, across the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Each of our cinemas earns revenue through the sale of movie tickets, food and beverage, screen advertising, theatre rentals, merchandise, gift card and loyalty membership, and other ancillary sales. The segment also earns revenue through service fees related to online ticket sales. Expenses are incurred through film rent, wages and salaries, food and beverage costs, occupancy costs, utilities, and other ancillary costs. We further organize this segment by geography, as while all our cinemas are engaged in substantially the same business activities, each geography is subject to its own unique regulatory and business conditions.
Our real estate segment aggregates all our retail, commercial and live theatre real estate assets across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Our retail and commercial real estate assets earn revenue through the leasing or licensing of space to third party tenants.
Our live theatre assets in the United States earn revenue through leasing or licensing space to third party production companies, an activity we consider sufficiently similar to our broader real estate base to support inclusion in our real estate segment. Our live theatre operations also earn revenue by providing front of house and box office services and through concession sale of food and beverage. All of our real estate assets incur expenses from property maintenance, utilities, taxes, and other costs of maintaining real estate and in some cases third party property management.
Each of these segments has discrete and separate financial information and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by our President, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to, and the assessment of the performance of, our operating segments. The CODM determines, among other things:
-the execution, renewal or termination of cinema leases
-the execution, renewal or termination of third-party tenant leases
-significant capital expenditures
-internal resource allocation
-operational budgets.
Segment operating income is a key measure of profit or loss used by the CODM to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating income includes certain amounts charged by our real estate segment to our cinema exhibition segment where a cinema is a tenant of the real estate segment. These charges are eliminated for condensed consolidated financial statement purposes in the consolidated statement of operations, but are presented gross to the CODM.
The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of our business segments, presenting a reconciliation of segment revenue to operating segment income, and the impact of inter-segment transactions.

NOTE 5 – OPERATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
We have significant assets in Australia and New Zealand. Historically, we have conducted our Australian and New Zealand operations (collectively “foreign operations”) on a self-funding basis, where we use cash flows generated by our foreign operations to pay for the expenses of those foreign operations. However, in recent periods, cash flows from our overseas operations have been used to cover our domestic general and administrative costs, interest expense, and losses from our U.S. cinema operations. Our Australian and New Zealand assets and liabilities are translated from their functional currencies of Australian dollar (“AU$”) and New Zealand dollar (“NZ$”), respectively, to the U.S. dollar based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2026. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations fluctuates as a result of changes in the exchange rates between the functional currencies of the foreign operations and the U.S. dollar. The translation adjustments are accumulated in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We take a global view of our financial resources and are flexible in making use of resources between jurisdictions.
Presented in the table below are the currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand:

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to our Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to our Company by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and is calculated using the treasury stock method for equity-based compensation awards.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS and a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:

Our weighted average number of shares of common stock - basic increased, primarily as a result of the vesting of restricted stock units. We did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock during the first three months of 2026 or 2025.
Outstanding awards of 3,949,445 shares for the period ended March 31, 2026 and 1,707,412 shares for the period ended March 31, 2025 were excluded from the computation of dilutive shares, as they were anti-dilutive because of the net loss from continuing operations.

Recent Real Estate Monetizations
In order to support our liquidity, we have monetized certain of our real estate holdings. Details of those monetizations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, are provided below.
Wellington, New Zealand property assets
On January 31, 2025, we sold our property assets in Wellington, New Zealand, including Courtenay Central, Tory Street car park and Wakefield Street car park, at a gross sale price of $21.5 million (NZ$38.0 million) The proceeds were used to pay off the Westpac mortgage on the property, and to reduce our Bank of America debt. We have an Agreement to Lease the cinema portion from the Purchaser, which is expected to commence upon the completion of seismic upgrade work by the Landlord and cinema fit-out work by ourselves.
The gain on sale of this property was calculated as follows:

Disposal Groups Held for Sale
Cinemas 1,2,3, Manhattan
In February 2026 we classified our Cinemas 1,2,3 property as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. No adjustments to the book value, as opposed to fair value, of $24.0 million of the assets contained within the disposal group were required, which consists of the Cinemas 1,2,3 building and related improvements. We expect to complete the monetization of this property within 12 months.
Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania
In June 2023, we classified our industrial property at Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. The property is part of our historic railroad operations, consisting of land and an industrial building, and certain rail bed improvements. No adjustments to the book value of the assets contained within this disposal group were required. Sales efforts continue, and the property continues to meet the ASC 360 held for sale criteria.
Real Estate Acquisitions
Sutton Hill Associates
On December 19, 2025, we purchased Sutton Hill Associates, a California general partnership. As a consequence of that transaction (i) we took on $13.6 million in long term debt owed by Sutton Hill Associates to a third party, and (ii) short term payables in the amount of $7.1 million owed by our Company to certain Sutton Hill Associates subsidiaries were eliminated on consolidation.
The long term debt was recorded on our balance sheet at a fair value of $7.6 million, reflecting the fact that the debt has a term maturing on September 30, 2035, with no interim payments of principal, is unsecured and bears interest at only 4.75% per annum payable quarterly in arrears.
NOTE 8 – LEASES
In all leases, whether we are the lessor or lessee, we define lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease plus any renewals covered by renewal options that are reasonably certain of exercise based on our assessment of economic factors relevant to the lessee. The non-cancellable term of the lease commences on the date the lessor makes the underlying property in the lease available to the lessee, irrespective of when lease payments begin under the contract.
As Lessee
We have operating leases for certain cinemas, and finance leases for certain equipment assets. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 25 years, with certain leases having options to extend up to a further 20 years. Lease payments for our cinema operating leases consist of fixed base rent, and for certain leases, variable lease payments consisting of contracted percentages of revenue, changes in the relevant CPI, and/or other contracted financial metrics.
The components of lease expense are as follows:

As Lessor
We have entered into various leases as a lessor for our owned real estate properties. These leases vary in length between 1 and 12 years, with certain leases containing options to extend at the behest of the applicable tenants. Lease components consist of fixed base rent, and for certain leases, variable lease payments consisting of contracted percentages of revenue, changes in the relevant CPI, and/or other contracted financial metrics. None of our leases grant any right to the tenant to purchase the underlying asset.
Lease income relating to operating lease payments was as follows:

Our Company is required to test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and, if current events or circumstances require them, on an interim basis. Our next annual evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets is scheduled during the fourth quarter of 2026. To test the impairment of goodwill, our Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the goodwill, to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. A reporting unit is generally one level below the operating segment. As of March 31, 2026, we were not aware that any events indicating potential impairment of goodwill had occurred outside of those described at Note 2 – Liquidity and Impairment Assessment.
The tables below summarize intangible assets other than goodwill, as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Beneficial leases obtained in business combinations where we are the landlord are amortized over the life of the relevant leases. Trade names are amortized based on the accelerated amortization method over their estimated useful life of 30 years, and other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of up to 30 years (except for transferrable liquor licenses, which are indefinite-lived assets). The table below summarizes the amortization expense of intangible assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2026

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
An income tax benefit of $0.1 million and $0.5 million were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The tax benefit for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is primarily resulted from year-to-date consolidated losses, offset with adjustments relating to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the U.S. and New Zealand.

On May 2, 2025, we extended the maturity date of this loan to November 6, 2026, with one option to extend further to May 6, 2027. The extension provided for principal payments of $500,000 on or before such maturity dates. This modification and a subsequent repayment reduced the facility limit from $55.0 million to $49.0 million.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Matters
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings, and we may from time to time, in the normal course of business, be a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors, landlords, tenants, employees and competitors and to other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from the action is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point in the range is more probable than another. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of the matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operation in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. An unfavorable outcome could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or the market prices of the Company’s securities.
Environmental and Asbestos Claims on Reading Legacy Operations
Certain of our subsidiaries were historically involved in railroad operations, coal mining, and manufacturing. Certain of these subsidiaries appear in the chain-of-title of properties that may suffer from environmental issues. Accordingly, certain of these subsidiaries have, from time to time, been named in and may in the future be named in various actions brought under applicable environmental laws. We are in the real estate development business and may encounter from time-to-time environmental conditions at properties that we have acquired for development and which will need to be addressed in the future as part of the development process. These environmental conditions can increase the cost of such projects and adversely affect the value and potential for profit of such projects. We do not currently believe that our exposure under applicable environmental laws is material in amount.
From time to time, there are claims brought against us relating to the exposure of former employees to asbestos and/or coal dust. These are generally covered by an insurance settlement reached in September 1990 with our insurance providers. However, this insurance settlement does not cover litigation by people who were not employees of our historic railroad operations and who may claim direct or second-hand exposure to asbestos, coal dust and/or other chemicals or elements now recognized as potentially causing cancer in humans. Our known exposure to these types of claims, asserted or probable of being asserted, is in our opinion not material.
Certain Civil Litigation
Putative Class Action Litigation
Our Company is a defendant in two actions asserting putative class action claims under the Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”): Daniel Valentini and Dallace Butler v. Reading International, Inc (2:24-cv-00255-RFB-MDC (D. Nev.)) (“The Valentini Case”), and Berryman v. Reading International, Inc. (1:24-cv-00750-PAE (S.D.N.Y.)) (“The Berryman Case”). The plaintiffs in these cases allege that our Company is a video tape service provider and knowingly disclosed plaintiff’s movie purchase and video-viewing habits to third parties in violation of the VPPA. Valentini and Butler also allege violation of a parallel state statute (California Code section 1799.3, the “California Statute”). Berryman also asserts claims under a similar statute (New York General Business Law Section
671 et seq (the “NY Statute”) and under the NY Arts and Cultural Affairs Law Section 25.07(4) (the “NY AC Statute”) which regulates the disclosure requirements applicable to ticketing service charges and provides a right to recover “actual damages or fifty dollars per violation, whichever is greater.”
Only limited case law exists as to claims under VPPA, a federal statute enacted in 1988. We have not identified any U.S. case in which an adverse VPPA judgment has been entered against a motion picture exhibition company on facts substantially similar to those alleged it this case. Further, the precedent that does exist suggests that theatres with websites selling tickets to cinema exhibitions are not video tape service providers under the statute, even if they operate websites to sell tickets and that the information disclosed through consumer use of cinema websites like ours does not include “personally identifiable information,” a necessary condition for liability under the VPPA.
Our Company has filed motions to dismiss the Valentini and the Berryman claims under Federal rule of Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim for which relief can be provided. The Valentini motion is on hold, pending the outcome of an appeal to the Ninth Circuit of a trial court decision which the Company believes, if affirmed, will likely result in the dismissal of the Valentini case.
By Opinion and Order dated March 12, 2026, the District Court granted our Company’s motion and dismissed the VPPA and NY Statute claims in their entirety, without leave to amend on the basis that we did not disclose an “personally identifiable information.” As a result of the Court’s ruling, no VPPA or NY Statute claims remain pending against the Company in the Berryman action. Plaintiff has no right to appeal such decision until after resolution of the entire case including the below discussed NY AC Statute claims.
Berryman also asserts claims under the NY AC Statute alleging deficiencies in the disclosure provided by our Company with respect to service charges to residents of New York who purchased tickets online to our New York cinemas. These claims were not the subject of the Company’s renewed motion to dismiss and remain pending. We believe that our disclosure satisfied the requirements of the NY AC Statute.
We also believe that we have defenses to the Valentini Case VPPA claims, including defense on the grounds that provided the basis for the above described dismissal of the Berryman VPPA claims.
Wellington Construction Damage Litigation
A subsidiary of the Company is the defendant in litigation in Wellington, New Zealand titled (Body Corporate 78693 v. Courtenay Car Park Limited & Ors CIV-2021-485-612 & CIV-2023-485-67) which involves various claims related to the dropping of a concrete beam onto adjacent property by a construction subcontractor working for the general contractor engaged by such subsidiary to do demolition work on our subsidiary’s property. In March 2026, the Court has issued its findings that, while our subsidiary would be liable to the plaintiff’s under a theory of strict liability due to the inherently dangerous nature of the construction activity, our subsidiary is entitled to full indemnity from its general contractor under both contractual indemnity and breach of contract theories of recovery. To the extent our general contractor should for any reason fail to make good on its indemnity obligations to us, our subsidiary’s liability is fully covered by insurance. Our co-defendants have appealed the Court’s decision and, in light of such appeal, we have likewise appealed to protect our position. We are advised by counsel that the appeals process is likely to take a couple of years. As of the date of this disclosure, we have no present obligation to settle any amounts in relation to this matter, as the Court has assessed that obligation on other defendants.
Philadelphia Code Violation Litigation
During the third quarter of 2025, our Company was served with a petition styled City of Philadelphia-Plaintiff vs. Reading International, Inc. Control Number 25074006 filed in the Court of Common Pleas under the City’s Code Enforcement Case Program, which among other things, (i) alleges violations of certain sections of the Philadelphia Code on property allegedly owned or under the control of Reading International in Philadelphia; (ii) seeks an order imposing statutory fines and reinspection fees and allowing the Department of Licenses and Inspections to enter the premises identified as 1120 Callowhill Street, Philadelphia Pennsylvania (the “Premises”) to conduct an interior inspection; and (iii) seeks an order compelling the Defendants to correct all alleged violations. We believe that it we have a variety of defenses to the claims, including defenses based on the fact, among other things, that some of the alleged violations were timely cured, that other allegations were timely appealed at the administrative level and that Reading International Inc. did not own the property in question (such property is owned by a subsidiary). We are in discussions with the City and have initiated measures including demolition of a building on the property and taking other actions to correct alleged violations through which we believe a resolution of the dispute will be accomplished. We are still in the talking stage with the City and discovery has not yet begun, but based on such conversations with the City and our review of the facts, we do not currently believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the litigation will result in a material liability to the Company.

NOTE 18 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK REPURCHASES
Employee and Director Stock Incentive Plan
2020 Stock Incentive Plan
On December 5, 2024, the Company’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, approved the Second Amendment to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, increasing the number of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan by an additional 3,500,000 shares.
Under the 2020 Plan, the Company may grant stock options and other share-based payment awards of our Class A Common Stock to eligible employees, directors and consultants. At March 31, 2026, there were 1,055,488 shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the grant-date market prices and typically expire on either the fifth or tenth anniversary of the grant date, although the Company’s Compensation and Stock Options Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) may set different vesting times. In contrast to a stock option where the grantee buys our Company’s share at an exercise price determined on the grant date, a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) entitles the grantee to receive one share for every RSU based on a vesting plan, typically between one year and four years from grant. As discussed further below, a performance component has been added to certain of the RSUs or options granted to management. At the time the options are exercised or RSUs vest and are settled, at the discretion of management, we may issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the option or RSU holder.
Stock Options
We have estimated the grant-date fair value of our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of the options. We expensed the estimated grant-date fair values of options over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Based on our historical experience, the “deemed exercise” of expiring in-the-money options and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we have not estimated any forfeitures of vested or unvested options.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a compensation expense of $189,000, relating to our prior stock option grants. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a compensation expense of $299,000, relating to our prior stock option grants. At March 31, 2026, the total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $0.8 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 1.15 years. The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding vested and expected to vest, at March 31, 2026, was nil, as the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on that date was $1.13.
The following table summarizes the number of options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

Time vested RSU awards to management typically vest 25% on the anniversary of the grant date and the remainder over a period of four years. Beginning in 2020, a performance component has been added to certain management equity grants, which vest on the third anniversary of their grant date based on the achievement of certain performance metrics. From 2021 onwards, RSUs have two vesting structures, which include time vesting and performance vesting. The majority of RSUs vest 75% evenly over a period of four years, with the remaining 25% contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics, vesting in full on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, RSUs vest 50% evenly over a period of four years with the remaining 50%, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics, vesting in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. In the second quarter of 2025, our Compensation Committee, upon the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair, determined that due to liquidity management concerns, our Company would not pay cash bonuses for which our executive officers and other senior management may have been potentially eligible, and to issue stock options in lieu of such bonuses. Also, in 2024 and 2025, our Compensation Committee determined not to issue long term incentive stock options or RSUs.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we recorded compensation expense of $178,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we recorded compensation expense of $301,000. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested RSUs was $0.8 million as of March 31, 2026, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 0.34 years.
Stock Repurchase Program
Our Stock Repurchase Program expired on March 10, 2024, and has not been renewed.
NOTE 19 – HEDGE ACCOUNTING
As of March 31, 2026, our Company held derivative instruments to the notional value of $34.3 million (AU$50.0 million). As of December 31, 2025, our Company held derivatives in the total notional amount of $32.2 million (AU$50.0 million).

NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following tables summarize our financial liabilities that are carried at cost and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
Level 1 investments in marketable securities primarily consist of investments associated with the ownership of marketable securities in U.S. and New Zealand. These investments are valued based on observable market quotes on the last trading date of the reporting period.
Level 2 derivative financial instruments are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves from the derivative counterparties. The credit valuation adjustments associated with our non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk are incorporated in the fair value estimates of our derivatives. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we concluded that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.
Level 3 borrowings include our secured and unsecured notes payable, trust preferred securities and other debt instruments. The borrowings are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate appropriate market discount rates. We calculated the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or SOFR for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt, adding appropriate credit spreads derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit rate, debt maturity, types of borrowings, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
Our Company’s financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values due to their short maturities. Additionally, there were no transfers of assets and liabilities between levels 1, 2, or 3 during the quarters ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.

Business Overview & Updates
Cinema Exhibition Segment
We are encouraged by the improved performance of our cinema business in the first quarter of 2026, which reinforces our confidence in the continued recovery of our operations and the global cinema industry. While macroeconomic challenges remain, our first quarter 2026 results reflect improving industry momentum and support our confidence in the continued growth of our cinema business. Q1 2026 benefited from theatrical successes including Project Hail Mary, Wuthering Heights, GOAT, and Hoppers. Additionally, this quarter also saw the continued momentum of blockbuster hits from last quarter including Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zootopia 2, Wicked: For Good, Marty Supreme, and The Housemaid.
Certain current macroeconomic conditions continued to present challenges for our cinema operations during the relevant periods, which are listed below:
Cinema attendance levels have not returned to pre-pandemic levels;
The number of movies released by the major Hollywood studios and other distributors, while increasing from pandemic levels, have not yet returned to their higher pre-pandemic levels;
The traditional exclusive theatrical release window remains shorter than historic periods, however, the major studios are indicating their intent to return to longer exclusivity periods; Inflationary pressures, ongoing supply chain issues and increased operating expenses continue to push up our variable costs while we encounter consumer resistance to higher ticket prices;
Labor costs continue to rise due to mandated minimum wage increases;
Significant and ongoing rises in fuel costs, which impact the cost of utilities;
Increased fixed costs for third party cinema rents, some of which are increasing due to base rent escalations, some of which are fixed and some of which are adjusted by reference to changes in the cost of living index, which are exacerbated by our obligation to also pay deferrals of past rent. We have been able to mitigate this somewhat by negotiating for rent abatements and revised rental terms and through the closure of certain underperforming venues; and
General market and economic conditions.
We believe that our ongoing focus on operational efficiency and strategic initiatives has improved our operations results. Over the past quarter, we have worked to optimize the efficiency of our locations, by:
Renegotiating our cinema leases and aligning our occupancy costs more effectively with attendance levels that, in general, remain behind pre-pandemic levels.
Prioritizing the elevation of the guest experience through our expanded Food and Beverage program. Beer and wine, and liquor service is available at nearly every one of our U.S. cinema locations. These enhancements are mirrored in our Australian and New Zealand markets, ensuring a consistent and premium experience for audiences across all regions. This strong focus on Food and Beverage contributed in revenue increases in all countries for the quarter compared to same period in the prior year.
We are expanding our loyalty and membership ecosystem to strengthen guest engagement. In late 2024, we transitioned from Reel Club to Reading Rewards and Angelika Rewards in Australia and New Zealand. Members can also upgrade to Reading and Angelika Rewards Boost with a fee. In the United States, we transitioned from Cinema Extras in our U.S. Consolidated Theatres to a new free to join Consolidated rewards program and paid subscription premium membership at the end of 2025 and in our U.S. Reading Cinemas to a new free-to-join Reading rewards program and paid subscription premium membership in early 2026. Our existing Angelika free membership program in the U.S. continues to grow, with membership increasing meaningfully compared to the prior year and we plan to add an Angelika paid subscription premium membership in Q2 2026.
These initiatives have contributed to improved revenue generation and enhanced cost management, while highlighting our focus on delivering a compelling and differentiated cinema experience that supports repeat visitation.
Looking ahead, we believe that the rest of the 2026 film slate presents a major opportunity to continue the positive momentum that we are seeing. As of today, titles such as Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael have generated strong box office results, reinforcing continued audience appetite for compelling, broadly appealing theatrical releases. We will continue to have highly anticipated major releases throughout the remainder of the year including The Devil Wears Prada 2, Toy Story 5, Supergirl, Minions 3, Moana, The Odyssey, Spider Man: Brand New Day, The Cat in the Hat, Avengers: Doomsday, and Dune: Part Three. These 2026 future releases are positioned to appeal to a wide variety of audiences, which should allow for a strong carry-through for the rest of the year. These titles cover a wide range of genres, from family animation to science fiction, each with the potential to produce significant box office results. Supported by our strategic operational initiatives and continued audience engagement efforts, this diverse slate positions us for a robust year.
Real Estate Segment
In the United States, we now own 100% of our Cinemas 1,2,3 property and as of February 2026 we have classified this property as held for sale. At our 44 Union Square property in New York, Petco continues to occupy the cellar, ground, and second floors under a long-term lease on a full rent-paying basis, while we work to secure tenant(s) for the remaining space. We believe that demand for space in the Union Square submarket is improving. Additionally, we continue to hold our Newberry Yard property in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for sale.
In Australia, our real estate revenues continue to have steady, strong performance, especially when measured in local currency.
In New Zealand, we signed a purchase and sale agreement on March 4, 2026 to monetize our Napier property. The transaction is currently in its due diligence period.
To align with our liquidity priorities, we have largely deferred new real estate development. Capital spending in 2025 and to date in 2026 has been primarily focused on upgrades to our existing cinemas.
Company Overview
We are an internationally diversified company principally focused on the development, ownership, and operation of entertainment and real estate assets in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Currently, we operate in two business segments:
Cinema exhibition, through our 58 cinemas.
Real estate, including real estate development and the rental of retail, commercial, and Live Theatre assets.
In the post-pandemic period, we have monetized nine property assets, but we believe our cinema and real estate segments remain complementary and central to our long-term growth strategy. Prior to the pandemic, cinema generated cash flows supported the capital requirements of our real estate development activities. During this period, we relied more heavily on income from our real estate assets and selectively monetized embedded value to support the Company. With the effects of COVID-19 and the 2023 Hollywood strikes now largely behind us, we expect improved film quality and consistency to drive increased attendance and restore cinema generated cash flows as a key source of capital to expand and enhance our existing cinema and real estate portfolios. To address anticipated liquidity needs, Newberry Yard and Cinemas 1,2,3 are held for sale. Following these planned dispositions, we expect to retain assets in Pennsylvania, Manhattan, and Australia that we believe offer meaningful long term value creation opportunities as capital resources permit.
Cinema Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”)
(Unaudited; U.S. Dollars and functional currency thousands, except per patron data)
Food and Beverage Spend Per Patron
A key performance indicator utilized by management in our cinema exhibition segment is Food and Beverage (“F&B”) Spend Per Patron (“SPP”), which is calculated based on our total Food & Beverage Revenues on a post-tax basis divided by our attendance during a specific period.
One of our key strategic priorities has been the continued enhancement of food and beverage offerings across several of our global cinema locations. We have a total of 38 theater locations that offer elevated food and beverage menus (i.e. menus that are beyond traditional popcorn, soda, and candy). We use F&B SPP as a measure of our food and beverage operational performance as compared to that of our competitors. Although the profitability of our food and beverage operations is influenced by numerous factors, including labor and cost of goods, F&B SPP serves as an indicator of our ability to achieve consistent strong top-line performance. In addition, F&B SPP highlights our ability to optimize revenue by effectively promoting and selling supplementary products to our customers during each visit. Moreover, this metric assists in evaluating how well we can differentiate our F&B offerings from our competitors. Management uses F&B SPP to adjust food and beverage pricing strategies at our individual theaters, measure the effectiveness of promotional marketing initiatives, optimize menu offerings, and ensure price barriers are not created for our customers. F&B revenue is particularly important to cinema operators, as film distributors do not share in this revenue stream.
Our F&B SPP in functional currency for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, are as follows:

Average Ticket Price per Patron
An additional key performance indicator utilized by management in our cinema exhibition segment is Average Ticket Price (“ATP”) Per Patron, which is calculated based on our total Box Office Revenues on a post-tax basis divided by our attendance during a specific period. ATP serves to measure our operational cinema performance when compared to that of our competitors. ATP is a useful metric for evaluating our ability to achieve a strong top line performance, gauging the effectiveness of our cinemas’ pricing strategies and our ability to draw audiences back to our theaters. Management uses ATP to adjust and inform ticket pricing schemes for our individual theaters, measure the effectiveness of our content programming, and ensure that price barriers are not created for core guests.
Our ATP in functional currency for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, are as follows:

Real Estate Key Performance Indicators
The key performance indicators used by management in our real estate segment vary according to jurisdiction. At the current time, in the United States, we assess our real estate division (including 44 Union Square and our historical railroad assets, but excluding our Live Theatres), solely on a net operating income basis. We have no specific key performance standards to compare performance from period to period. Rather we analyze operating budgets and projections and compare actual results to budgeted or projected results from time to time.
In Australia and New Zealand, we assess our properties held for rent using net operating income, occupancy factor (the percentage of the net rentable area of our properties that are leased) and average lease duration. We believe our chosen indicators help us effectively assess the return on investment on our real estate assets.
Our real estate key performance indicator results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, measured in functional currencies, are as follows:

In the case of our Live Theatres, with respect to key performance indicators, we primarily look to the Live Theatre rental revenue and ancillary income from the theatres. This key performance indicator represents box office revenues less amounts paid to producers for license fee settlements, plus ancillary income earned by us from certain theatre operations. Our Live Theatre rental revenue and ancillary income for the first quarter of 2026 improved to $0.7 million compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2025.

(1)Our Company has a 33.3% unincorporated joint venture interest in a 16-screen cinema located in Mt. Gravatt, Queensland managed by Event Cinemas.
(2)Our Company is a 50% joint venture partner in two New Zealand Rialto Cinemas, with a total of 13 screens. We are responsible for the booking of these cinemas and our joint venture partner, Event Cinemas, manages their day-to-day operations.
Our cinema revenues consist primarily of cinema ticket sales, F&B sales, screen advertising, gift card sales, cinema rentals, and online convenience fee revenue generated by the sale of our cinema tickets through our websites and mobile apps. Cinema operating expenses consist of the costs directly attributable to the operation of the cinemas, including (i) film rent expense, (ii) cost of goods sold, (iii) operating costs, such as labor costs and utilities, and (iv) occupancy costs. Cinema revenues and certain expenses fluctuate with the availability of quality content and the number of weeks such content stays on screen. For a breakdown of our current cinema assets that we own and/or manage, please refer to Part I, Item 1 – Our Business of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Cinema Pipeline and Closures
On January 31, 2025, in connection with our sale of our Wellington Properties to Prime Property Group Limited (“Prime”), we entered into an Agreement to Lease with Prime to fit out and operate under a long-term lease our previously owned 10 screen cinema at the to be redeveloped Courtenay Central in Wellington, New Zealand (the “ATL”). Under the ATL, Prime is obligated to redevelop Courtenay Central and upgrade it to meet current earthquake standards. We intend to renovate the existing cinema to a “best-in-class” standard.
Our Board has also authorized management to proceed with the negotiation of a lease for a new state-of-the-art cinema, located in Noosa, Queensland, Australia.
On February 9, 2025, we closed our underperforming cinema located in Queenstown.
On April 15, 2025, we closed our underperforming cinema located in San Diego, California.

As of today, we have beer and wine licenses in 100% of our cinemas and liquor licenses in all but three of our cinemas operating in the U.S. In Australia, 86% of our cinemas are licensed and we have no liquor licenses pending. In New Zealand, 38% of our cinemas are licensed.
Real Estate Segment Overview
Through our various subsidiaries, we engage in the real estate business through the development, ownership, rental or licensing to third parties of retail, commercial, and Live Theatre assets. Our real estate business creates long-term value for our stockholders through the continuous improvement and development of our investment and operating properties, including our ETCs. In addition to owning the fee interests in 7 of our cinemas (as presented in the table under Cinema Exhibition Overview), as of March 31, 2026, we:
own our 44 Union Square property in Manhattan comprised of retail and office space, which is currently in the lease-up phase. The cellar, ground floor, and second floor of the building are now fully leased to Petco, which is in occupancy of its premises on a full rent paying basis;
own and operate two ETCs known as Newmarket Village (in a suburb of Brisbane), and the Belmont Common (in a suburb of Perth), the cinema components of which are included in the fee owned screen count above;
own and operate our administrative office building in South Melbourne, Australia;
own and operate the fee interests in two developed commercial properties in Manhattan improved with Live Theatres comprised of a single stage in each location;
own a 100% interest in Sutton Hill Properties LLC, a limited liability company, which in turn owns the fee interest in and improvements constituting our Cinemas 1,2,3 located in Manhattan. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2025, we wound up our long term relationship with Sutton Hill Associates pursuant to a transaction whereby we purchased the 25% non-controlling minority interest in our Cinemas 1,2,3, property (also identified above as an “owned” cinema property) that we did not already own and the ground-lessee’s interest in the land and improvements constituting our Village East property. In February 2026, we classified our Cinemas 1,2,3 property as held for sale;
own the approximately 23.9-acre Newberry Yard property in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, which is currently being held for sale; and
own approximately 201-acres principally in Pennsylvania from our legacy railroad business, including the Reading Viaduct in downtown Philadelphia;
For a breakdown of our real estate assets, made current by our discussion below, please refer to Part I, Item 1 – Our Business of our 2025 Form 10-K.
The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of any material U.S. public pandemic financial assistance due to our public company status, the 2023 Hollywood Strikes, increased interest rates, inflation, increased labor costs, and decreases in the value of the Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar vis-a-vis the U.S. Dollar over the past five years, have significantly impacted our cinema operations and necessitated capital conservation to sustain our cinema operations and service our debt. This has required us to rethink our real estate business plan and to monetize a number of properties that had pre-COVID been slated for long-term development.
Since 2021, we have monetized the following property assets:
(i)Our non-income producing land holdings in Coachella, California (March 5, 2021) and Manukau, New Zealand (March 4, 2021);
(ii)Our Redyard ETC in Auburn, Australia (June 9, 2021);
(iii)Our Royal George Live Theatre complex in Chicago (June 30, 2021, slated for redevelopment, and now being redeveloped for residential purposes by the new owner);
(iv)The land underlying our cinema in Invercargill, New Zealand (August 30, 2021);
(v)Our non-competitive four-screen cinema in Maitland, Australia (October 25, 2023);
(vi)Our administrative office building in Culver City, California (February 23, 2024);
(vii) On January 31, 2025, our approximately 3.7 acre five-parcel assemblage in the entertainment center of Wellington, New Zealand, which includes the Courtenay Central building; and
(viii) Most recently, on May 21, 2025, our Cannon Park property in Townsville, Queensland, Australia.
These properties were identified for sale and sold for various reasons, such reasons have included without limitation
(i)our need for liquidity due to the circumstances referred to above,
(ii)the amount of capital required to materially increase their value in the immediate to mid-term,
(iii)with respect to certain assets, their immaterial or non-income producing nature, or
(iv)in the case of our Culver City office building, the property was not required for our operations because it exceeded our office size requirements. Since the sale of this office building, we have been working remotely in Southern California.
As of the date of this Report, we continue to own our approximately 23.9-acre Newberry Yard in Williamsport, Pennsylvania (also currently non-income producing), which is being held for sale.
United States:
44 Union Square Redevelopment (New York, N.Y.) – On January 27, 2022, we entered a long-term lease with Petco for the lower level, ground floor, and second floor of the building. Petco continues to be open for business and in occupancy on a full rent paying basis. We continue to explore a variety of possible office and non-office types of uses for the remainder of the building.
Minetta Lane Theatre (New York, N.Y.) – Audible has a license agreement with us through March 15, 2027. Audible presents productions and special live performance engagements on the Audible streaming service. During the first quarter of 2026, Audible presented a number of original productions, including The Disappear, Michael Cruz Kayne – What Else What Else, and the critically acclaimed play Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Class with Hugh Jackman, which played previously during the second quarter of 2025.
Orpheum Theatre (New York, N.Y.) – STOMP closed (after 30 years at our theatre) on January 8, 2023. Under our termination agreement with the producers of STOMP, we have certain rights to provide the New York City venue for any future production of that show. Following STOMP’s historic run at the Orpheum, the theatre has hosted a variety of productions including Rachel Bloom’s Death, Let Me Do My Show, Hamlet starring Eddie Izzard, The Big Gay Jamboree, The Jonathon Larson Project, Ginger Twinsies, and 11 to Midnight, which will run through next quarter.
Cinemas 1,2,3 (New York, N.Y.) – Currently operated as the Cinemas 1,2,3, we have historically treated this property as an asset held for long term development. However, in February 2026, we classified our Cinemas 1,2,3 property as held for sale.
The Reading Viaduct and Adjacent Properties (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) – We continue work to realize the value of our real estate holdings in the City of Philadelphia. Our properties include the 0.7-mile-long Reading Viaduct – a raised railbed with bridges spanning the Callowhill and Poplar neighborhoods of Philadelphia and reaching Vine Street in the City’s Central Business District. The Reading Viaduct comprises over 6.0 acres of land, calculated inclusive of our contiguous properties and bridges arching over various public streets and sidewalks that connect our multiple parcels into one continuous land-holding, unimpaired by public thoroughfares. Representatives of the City of Philadelphia and the City Center District have expressed interest in acquiring the Reading Viaduct for park purposes as an extension to the existing Rail Park. According to its website, the City Center District is “a private-sector organization dedicated to making Center City Philadelphia clean, safe, and attractive, is committed to maintaining Center City’s competitive edge as a regional employment center, a quality place to live, and a premier regional destination for dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.” For more information, go to www.CenterCityPhila.org. In December 2023, the City adopted an ordinance enabling the condemnation of the Reading Viaduct, and the transfer of the property to the City Center District for use as a public park. Furthering these initiatives, since railroad property (such as the Reading Viaduct) is exempt from condemnation by state governments so long as such property is subject to the jurisdiction and oversight of the Federal Surface Transportation Board (the “STB”), the City has petitioned the STB for a determination that the Reading Viaduct is no longer railroad property subject to STB jurisdiction and oversight (the “STB Proceeding”). On September 24, 2025 the STB ruled in the City’s favor, which determination we have appealed. We continue to believe that Reading Viaduct offers a substantial long-term opportunity for our Company through a potential sale, lease or joint venture of part or all of the property. Our properties adjoining our Reading Viaduct include various free-standing legal parcels that could be monetized separately and/or apart from the main body of our Reading Viaduct.
Australia:
Newmarket Village ETC (Brisbane, Australia) – We will continue to operate our Newmarket Village ETC, which includes Reading Cinemas as an anchor tenant. Our site includes a 23,218 square foot parcel adjacent to the center, improved with an office building. Over the next few years, we will be evaluating different development options for this space. The combined center and office building is 98% leased.
The Belmont Common, (Belmont, Perth, Australia) – The total gross leasable area of the Belmont Common is 60,117 square feet of net rentable land. Our multiplex cinema is the anchor tenant with six third-party tenants. The site is currently 100% leased.
On May 21, 2025, we sold our Cannon Park ETC in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, which consisted of our Cannon Park City Center and Cannon Park Discount Center properties, comprising approximately 9.4-acres, for a purchase price of $20.7 million (AU$32.0 million). We have retained a long-term lease of the cinema component of that property.
New Zealand:
On January 31, 2025, we sold all of our properties in Wellington, New Zealand (including the Courtenay Central building) to Prime Property Group (“Prime”) for a purchase price of $21.5 million (NZ$38.0 million). We understand that Prime intends to redevelop the properties, including a seismic upgrade of the existing Courtenay Central building. As a part of that sale transaction, we have entered into an Agreement to Lease for the cinema component of the to be upgraded Courtenay Central building.
On March 4, 2026, we signed a purchase and sale agreement to monetize our Napier, New Zealand property for a purchase price of NZ$2.5 million. The transaction is currently in its due diligence period.
For a complete list of our principal properties, see Part I, Item 2 – Properties under the heading “Investment and Development Property” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Consolidated and Non-Segment Results:
First Quarter Net Results
Revenue
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, increased by 12% (or $5.0 million), to $45.1 million, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to (i) increased cinema revenues in the U.S. and Australia as a result of stronger overall movie slate in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period 2025 (despite a cinema closure in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2025), (ii) increased real estate revenues in the U.S., and (iii) the strengthening of the AU/NZ foreign exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. These increases in revenue were offset by (i) a decline in real estate rent revenues in Australia due to the sale of Cannon Park, and (ii) increased costs in Australia and New Zealand due to the above referenced strengthening of the AU/NZ foreign exchange rate.
Segment Operating Income/(Loss)
Our total segment operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, increased by $2.9 million, from a loss of $2.9 million to net operating income of $48,000, due to improved box office revenue and Food & Beverage revenues in U.S. and Australia as a result of a stronger movie slate, which included Avatar: Fire and Ash, Project Hail Mary and Wuthering Heights.
During the first quarter of 2026, both the Australia and New Zealand dollars strengthened against the U.S. dollar. The average Australia dollar exchange rate against the U.S. dollar for the first quarter of 2026 increased by 10.8% compared to the same period in 2025. The average New Zealand dollar exchange rate against the U.S. dollar for the first quarter of 2026 increased by 3.9% compared to the same period in 2025.
Net Income/(Loss)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net loss attributable to Reading International, Inc. increased by 71%, from a loss of $4.8 million to a loss of $8.1 million, when compared to the same period in the prior year primarily. This was primarily due to a $6.6 million gain on sale of our property assets in Wellington, New Zealand including Courtenay Central in the first quarter of 2025 (income not replicated in the first quarter of 2026), offset by improved segment results, decreased interest expense (a reduction of $514,000), and decreased general and administrative expense (a reduction of $293,000).
Income Tax Expense
Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $0.3 million compared to the equivalent prior-year period. The change between 2026 and 2025 is primarily related to an increase in reserve for valuation allowance in 2026.

First Quarter Results
Revenue
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, cinema revenue increased by $5.1 million, to $41.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Despite the closure of a 14-screen U.S. cinema, this increase was primarily driven by (i) improved box office revenues in the U.S. and Australia due to a stronger movie slate including Avatar: Fire and Ash, Project Hail Mary and Wuthering Heights (ii) higher Food & Beverage revenues in our U.S. and Australia cinema circuit due to increased attendance combined with higher F&B SPP and (iii) the impact of the strengthening of the Australian and New Zealand dollars. Our results were partially offset by lower cinema revenues in New Zealand, which was adversely impacted by the closure of an underperforming cinema in the first quarter of 2025.
Cinema Exhibition Segment Operating Income/(Loss)
Cinema exhibition segment operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, improved by $3.1 million, from a loss of $4.5 million to a loss of $1.3 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The improvement in segment operating loss is due to (i) increased cinema revenues in all three categories in the U.S. and Australia resulting from a better movie slate and higher attendance (ii) and a decrease in depreciation and amortization globally, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses in Australia.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, increased by $2.2 million to $39.8 million, compared to $37.7 million in the same period in the prior year, due to due to higher attendance in the U.S. and Australia, which resulted in higher film rent, Food and Beverage cost, and other variable costs, plus higher occupancy cost globally. Furthermore, our expenses increased generally in U.S. dollar terms with the strengthening of the Australian and New Zealand dollars. This was offset by the savings in labor, cleaning and maintenance, and other operating expenses in the U.S. and a decrease in operating expense in New Zealand partly due to the closure of an underperforming cinema.

Depreciation, amortization, impairment, and general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $0.2 million, to $3.0 million, compared to the same period in the prior year.

First Quarter Results
Revenue
Real estate rent revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $0.2 million to $4.6 million, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to loss of Australia and New Zealand property rental income from the monetization of Wellington property assets in New Zealand in January 2025, and Cannon Park ETC in Townsville, Queensland, Australia in May 2025. This is partially offset by higher Live Theatre rental and ancillary income, and the impact of the strengthening of the Australian and New Zealand dollars.
Real Estate Segment Income/(Loss)
Real estate segment operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $0.2 million to $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million in the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a reduction in Australia and New Zealand rental income and an increase in the U.S. operating expense, partially offset by an increase in U.S. Live Theatre rental and ancillary income and a reduction in Australia and New Zealand operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our Financing Strategy
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we used cash generated from operations and other excess cash, to the extent not needed, to fund capital investments contemplated by our business plan, in order to pay down our loans and credit facilities. This provided us with availability under our loan facilities for future use and thereby, reduced interest charges. On a periodic basis, we reviewed the maturities of our borrowing arrangements and negotiated renewals and extensions where necessary.
However, disruptions to our cinema cash flow caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2023 Hollywood Strikes and periods of weak theatrical releases, augmented by changing consumer habits due to each of the foregoing, and continuing macroeconomic headwinds, have made it necessary for us to defer capital expenditures and to rely on the proceeds of asset monetizations to cover our costs of operations, pay interest, and pay down debt.
Our NAB financing requires that our Company comply with certain covenants. Furthermore, our Company’s use of loan funds from NAB is limited due to restrictions on the expatriation of funds from Australia to the United States. We believe that our lenders understand that the continuing effects of the factors discussed in the preceding paragraph, and various economic factors, are not of our own making, that we are taking aggressive steps to manage these industry headwinds, and that, generally speaking, our relationships with our lenders are positive.
While our Company believes that global cinema business is recovering, we still face macroeconomic pressures such as high interest rates, inflation, supply chain issues and increased film rent (particularly on popular releases), labor, and operating costs, many of which are beyond our control. We have taken a variety of steps across our various operating jurisdictions to reduce our spending, including, without limitation, deferring non-essential capital expenditures, deferring certain operational expenses, renegotiating occupancy arrangements, closing certain unprofitable cinemas, deferring compensation expenses, and eliminating certain travel and entertainment expenses. We closely monitor our debt maturity dates, and where appropriate, we may seek necessary term extensions. Notably, on November 12, 2025, we extended our NAB facility by 5 years and on November 13, 2025, and on March 30, 2026, in anticipation of the upcoming scheduled NAB debt repayments, NAB has agreed to reduce our minimum liquidity requirement for a limited defined period in 2026. On February 6, 2026, we executed an agreement to defer a $500,000 principal payment related to our 44 Union Square loan, which we then settled on March 13, 2026. On February 27, 2026, we modified our Bank of America facility to modify current principal repayments. The maturity date and interest rate remain unchanged. As of March 31, 2026, we have debt of $35.5 million coming due in the next 12 months. While the Central Banks of the three countries in which we do business have reduced interest rates from recent highs, rates remain elevated when compared to pre-pandemic periods.
As discussed elsewhere in this Report, we believe that cinema cash flow for 2026 will be stronger than in recent periods. However, if our Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the upcoming months, we will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing, delaying or eliminating planned capital expenditures, monetizing additional assets, restructuring our debt and/or our lease obligations or finding additional sources of liquidity. In May 2025, we sold our Cannon Park property assets in Australia for $20.7 million (AU$32.0 million) and repaid our $12.9 million (AU$20.0 million) Bridge Facility. In January 2025, we sold our Wellington property assets in New Zealand for $21.5 million (NZ$38.0 million) and repaid our $10.5 million (NZ$18.8 million) loan to Westpac and paid down $6.1 million to Bank of America.
In early 2024, understanding our reduced need for administrative space during the shift to remote-working, we decreased our overall general and administrative expense by selling our administrative building in Culver City, California, freeing up cash of approximately $1.3 million (after paying off our mortgage, brokerage commissions and transactional fees). We are currently reviewing our need for replacement of office space.
On March 4, 2026, we signed a purchase and sale agreement to monetize our Napier, New Zealand property. The transaction is in its due diligence period. Also, our Newberry Yard property in Williamsport, Pennsylvania continues to be listed as an asset held for sale. This property was historically used as a rail yard, and, accordingly, improved with tracks and switches and has direct access to the area’s rail system. Certain issues as to the location of various railroad rights of way have now been resolved on what we believe to be favorable terms and terms which enhanced the value of the property. Given the specialized nature of this property and the relatively limited carrying costs (principally property taxes), our disposition strategy is to wait for a strategic buyer who will place value on the nature of our rail yard property and its access to nationwide rail systems.
In December 2025 we wound up our relationship with Sutton Hill Associates (“SHA”) to among other things, obtain complete legal ownership of our Cinemas 1,2,3 property. Our 2025 Form 10-K discusses the mechanics of this transaction. In February 2026 we retained Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc to monetize the property. While no assurances can be given, we believe it reasonable to assume that these assets can be monetized before the end of the third quarter of this year. We assume that any buyer will be contemplating the redevelopment of the property for residential purposes (which we believe to be the highest and best use of the property and which we do not currently have the capital to pursue) and have advised our brokers that we are prepared to remain in occupancy during the development period.
The only debt on our Cinemas 1,2,3 property is a $19.7 million first mortgage.
If we cannot obtain sufficient net proceeds from the disposition of these assets (or determine to defer disposition due to unfavorable market conditions), in addition to other strategies, we may look to monetize other real estate assets.

Operating activities
Cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $5.2 million, to $2.5 million compared to cash used in the same period in prior year of $7.7 million. This was primarily driven by a decrease in net operating loss of $2.8 million and increase in net payables of $2.5 million.
Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $0.5 million, compared to cash provided in the same prior year period of $17.9 million. This was due to proceeds from sale of our Wellington properties, New Zealand in the first quarter of 2025.
Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities for the quarter months ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $14.6 million, to $2.3 million compared to cash used by financing activities of $16.9 million in the same prior year period. This was primarily due to pay off of our $10.5 million loan to Westpac and a $6.1 million repayment to Bank of America, following the sale of our Wellington properties, New Zealand in the first quarter of 2025.

(1)Our working capital is reported as a deficit, as we receive revenue from our cinema business ahead of the time that we have to pay our associated liabilities. We use the money we receive to pay down our borrowings in the first instance.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $5.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents compared to $10.5 million on December 31, 2025. On March 31, 2026, our total outstanding borrowings were $184.6 million compared to $185.1 million on December 31, 2025.
We manage our cash, investments, and capital structure to meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our business, while maintaining financial flexibility and liquidity. We forecast, analyze, and monitor our cash flows to enable investment and financing within the overall constraints of our financial strategy. In the past, we used cash generated from operations and other excess cash to the extent not needed for any capital expenditures, to pay down our loans and credit facilities providing us some flexibility on our available loan facilities for future use and thereby, reducing interest charges.
The U.S. dollar value of our Australian borrowings is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates, which may or may not be material depending on currency fluctuations. However, since we intend to repay this debt using Australian revenues, we do not consider such fluctuations material to our overall strategy.

Litigation
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued estimates of probable and estimable losses for the resolution of these claims.
Please refer to Part I, Item 3 – Legal Proceedings in our 2025 Form 10-K for more information. There have been no material changes to our litigation since our 2025 Form 10-K, except as set forth in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies included herein in Part I – Financial Information, Item 1 – Financial Statements on this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This note sets out our litigation accounting policies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in the financial condition, revenue or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We believe that the application of the following accounting policies requires significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and hence, are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results:
(i) Impairment of Long-lived Assets (other than Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives) – we evaluate our long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets using historical and projected data of cash flows as our primary indicator of potential impairment and we take into consideration the seasonality of our business. If the sum of the estimated, undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value based on an appraisal or a discounted cash flow calculation. For certain non-income producing properties or for those assets with no consistent historical or projected cash flows, we obtain appraisals or other evidence to evaluate whether there are impairment indicators for these assets.
No impairment losses were recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
(ii) Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives – goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead, tested for impairment at least annually on a reporting unit basis. The impairment evaluation is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit plus the expected terminal value. There are significant assumptions and estimates used in determining the future cash flows and terminal value. The most significant assumptions include our cost of debt and cost of equity assumptions that comprise the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit. Accordingly, actual results could vary materially from such estimates.
No impairment losses were recorded for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our statements in this quarterly report, including the documents incorporated herein by reference, contain a variety of forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "intend," "future," and "anticipate" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, our beliefs regarding the impact of the 2023 Hollywood Strikes on the cinema business; our expected operating results, including our ultimate return to pre-pandemic type results; our expectations regarding the recovery and future of the cinema exhibition industry, including the strength of movies anticipated for release in the future; our expectations regarding patrons returning to our theatres and continuing to use discretionary funds on entertainment outside of the home; our beliefs regarding the impact of our cinema-anchored real estate developments; our beliefs regarding the success of our diversified business strategy; our belief regarding the attractiveness of 44 Union Square to potential tenants and ability to lease space on acceptable terms; our ability to complete the sale of our Cinemas 1,2,3 property; our expectations regarding the effects of our enhanced F&B offerings on our operating results; our expectations regarding our ability to monetize our assets on terms acceptable to us; our expectations regarding credit facility covenant compliance and our ability to continue to obtain necessary covenant waivers and loan extensions on terms acceptable to us; and our expectations of our liquidity and capital requirements and the allocation of funds.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
With respect to our cinema and Live Theatre operations:
reduced consumer demand due to inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic pressures;
the adverse continuing effects of external events of the past pandemic and the 2023 Hollywood strikes on our Company’s results from operations, liquidity, cash flows, financial condition, and access to credit markets;
a change in consumer behavior in favor of alternative forms or mediums of entertainment, and limited availability of wide motion picture release content;
reduction in operating margins (or negative operating margins) due to (i) decreased attendance, (ii) limited availability of wide release content, and (iii) increased operating expenses;
competition from cinema operators who have successfully used debtor laws to reduce their debt and/or rent exposure;
the uncertainty as to the scope and extent of our government’s potential responses to future outbreak of infectious diseases;
the number and attractiveness to moviegoers of the films released in future periods, and potential changes in release dates for motion pictures;
the lack of availability of films in the short- or long-term as a result of (i) major film distributors releasing scheduled theatrical films on alternative channels; (ii) disruptions of film production;
the amount of money spent by film distributors to promote their motion pictures;
the licensing fees and terms required by film distributors from motion picture exhibitors in order to exhibit their films;
the comparative attractiveness of motion pictures as a source of entertainment and willingness and/or ability of consumers (i) to spend their dollars on entertainment and (ii) to spend their entertainment dollars on movies in an outside-the-home environment;
the extent to which we encounter competition from other cinema exhibitors, from other sources of outside-the-home entertainment, and from inside-the-home entertainment options, such as “home cinemas” and competitive film product distribution technology, such as, streaming, cable, satellite broadcast, and video on demand platforms;
our ability to continue to obtain, to the extent needed, waivers or other financial accommodations from our lenders and landlords;
the impact of major movies being released directly to one of the multitudes of streaming services available;
the impact of certain competitors’ subscription or advance pay programs;
the failure of our new initiatives to gain significant customer acceptance and use or to generate meaningful profits;
the cost and impact of improvements to our cinemas, such as improved seating, enhanced F&B offerings, and other improvements;
the ability to negotiate favorable rent abatement, deferral and repayment terms with our landlords (which may include lenders who have foreclosed on the collateral held by our prior landlords);
disruptions during cinema improvements;
in the U.S., the impact of the termination and phase-out of the so called “Paramount Decree;”
the risk of damage and/or disruption of cinema businesses from earthquakes as certain of our operations are in geologically active areas;
the impact of protests, demonstrations, and civil unrest on, among other things, government policy, consumer willingness to go to the movies;
labor shortages and increased labor costs related to such shortages and to increasingly costly labor laws and regulations applicable to part time non-exempt workers. Disruptions in film supply and film marketing due to the 2023 Hollywood Strikes; and
competition from a newly restructured Regal, which may have lower occupancy costs than our cinemas.
With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:
the increased costs of wages, supplies, services and other development expenses from inflation;
the impact on tenants from inflationary pressures;
uncertainty as to governmental responses to infectious diseases;
the rental rates and capitalization rates applicable to the markets in which we operate and the quality of properties that we own;
the ability to negotiate and execute lease agreements with material tenants;
the extent to which we can obtain on a timely basis the various land use approvals and entitlements needed to develop our properties;
the risks and uncertainties associated with real estate development;
the availability and cost of labor and materials; the ability to obtain all permits to construct improvements;
the ability to finance improvements, including, but not limited to increased cost of borrowing and tightened lender credit policies;
the disruptions to our business from construction and/or renovations;
the possibility of construction delays, work stoppage, and material shortage;
competition for development sites and tenants;
environmental remediation issues;
the extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor tenant that will, in turn, be influenced by the same factors as will influence generally the results of our cinema operations;
the increased depreciation and amortization expense as construction projects transition to leased real property;
the ability to negotiate and execute joint venture opportunities and relationships;
the risk of damage and/or disruption of real estate businesses from earthquakes as certain of our operations are in geologically active areas;
the disruptions or reductions in the utilization of entertainment, shopping and hospitality venues, as well as in our operations, due to pandemics, epidemics, widespread health emergencies, or outbreaks of infectious diseases, or to changing consumer tastes and habits; and
the impact of protests, demonstrations, civil unrest on government policy, consumer willingness to visit shopping centers.
With respect to our operations generally as an international company involved in both the development and operation of cinemas and the development and operation of real estate and previously engaged for many years in the railroad business in the United States:
our ability to renew, extend, renegotiate or replace our loans that mature in 2026 and beyond, and the impact of increasing interest rates;
our ability to grow our Company and provide value to our stockholders;
our ongoing access to borrowed funds and capital and the interest that must be paid on that debt and the returns that must be paid on such capital, and our ability to borrow funds to help cover the cessation of cash flows we experienced during and following the COVID-19 pandemic;
our ability to reallocate funds among jurisdictions to meet short-term liquidity needs;
the relative values of the currency used in the countries in which we operate;
changes in government regulation, including by way of example, the costs resulting from the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley and other increased regulatory requirements;
our labor relations and costs of labor (including future government requirements with respect to minimum wages, shift scheduling, the use of consultants, pension liabilities, disability insurance and health coverage, and vacations and leave);
our exposure from time to time to legal claims and to uninsurable risks, such as those related to our historic railroad operations, including potential environmental claims and health-related claims relating to alleged exposure to asbestos or other substances now or in the future recognized as being possible causes of cancer or other health related problems, and class actions and private attorney general wage and hour and/or safe workplace-based claims;
our exposure to cybersecurity risks, including misappropriation of customer information or other breaches of information security;
the impact of future major outbreaks of contagious diseases;
the availability of employees and/or their ability or willingness to conduct work under any revised work environment protocols;
the increased risks related to employee matters, including increased employment litigation and claims relating to terminations or furloughs caused by cinema and ETC closures;
our ability to generate significant cash flow from operations if our cinemas and/or ETCs continue to experience demand at levels significantly lower than historical levels, which could lead to a substantial increase in indebtedness and negatively impact our ability to comply with the financial covenants, if applicable, in our debt agreements;
our ability to comply with credit facility covenants and our ability to obtain necessary covenant waivers and necessary credit facility amendments;
changes in future effective tax rates and the results of currently ongoing and future potential audits by taxing authorities having jurisdiction over our various companies;
inflationary pressures on labor and supplies, and supply chain disruptions;
changes in applicable accounting policies and practices;
changes in future effective tax rates and the results of currently ongoing and future potential audits by taxing authorities having jurisdiction over our various companies;
the impact of the conflict events occurring in Eastern Europe and the threats of potential conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region;
the impact of the conflict events occurring in Israel and the threats of other potential conflicts in the Middle East, and
the impact of tariff regulations enforced by the U.S. against various nations.
The above list is not necessarily exhaustive, as business is by definition unpredictable and risky, and subject to influence by numerous factors outside of our control, such as changes in government regulation or policy, competition, interest rates, supply, technological innovation, changes in consumer taste, weather, earthquakes, pandemics, and the extent to which consumers in our markets have the economic wherewithal to spend money on beyond-the-home entertainment. Refer to Item 1A - Risk Factors, as well as the risk factors set forth in any other filings made under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including any of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for more information.
Given the variety and unpredictability of the factors that will ultimately influence our businesses and our results of operation, no guarantees can be given that any of our forward-looking statements will ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results will undoubtedly vary and there is no guarantee as to how our securities will perform either when considered in isolation or when compared to other securities or investment opportunities.
Forward-looking statements made by us in this quarter report are based only on information currently available to us and are current only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or to revise any of our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. Accordingly, you should always note the date to which our forward-looking statements speak.

2.2. Consent for Financing Lease.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement, Lenders, on a one-time basis, hereby consent to the Loan Parties entering into that certain equipment lease agreement with Providence Capital Funding, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $400,000, for the purchase and installation of certain seat covers for the Mililani and Ward theatres located in Hawaii (the “Providence Capital Lease”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Providence Capital Lease may be secured by the purchase money lien granted to purchase and install the seat covers as well as a lien on the actual seats that are being covered by such seat coverings at the Mililani and Ward theaters so long as such lessor’s lien actually attaches to the seats located in the applicable theaters (the “Providence Capital Lease Lien”). At the request of Providence Capital Funding, Inc., the Administrative Agent shall agree to enter into a reasonable subordination agreement subordinating the Administrative Agent’s lien in the applicable seat covers and seats so long as the Providence Capital Lease Lien does not at any time encumber any property other than the property financed by the Providence Capital Lease (including, if applicable, the seats that are being covered by the applicable seat coverings). |
|
3. General Release. From and after the effective date of this Twelfth Amendment, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that, without any further act, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party is fully and forever released and discharged from any and all claims for damages or losses to the Borrower, any Guarantor, or to any property of the Borrower or any Guarantor (whether any such damages or losses are known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, or patent or latent), including, without limitation, any tort claim, demand, action or cause of action of any nature, whatsoever, arising under or relating to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions related thereto, in each case, prior to the date hereof, and the Borrower and each Guarantor |
2
hereby waive application of California Civil Code Section 1542. The Borrower and each Guarantor certify that they have read the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
The Borrower and each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542 is that even if the Borrower or such Guarantor should eventually suffer additional damages arising out of the facts referred to above, it will not be able to make any claim for those damages. Furthermore, the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge that they intend these consequences even as to claims for damages that may exist as of the date of this release but which the Borrower or such Guarantor does not know exist, and which, if known, would materially affect the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s decision to execute this Twelfth Amendment, regardless of whether the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s lack of knowledge is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.
|
4. Conditions Precedent. This Twelfth Amendment shall become effective as of the date first set forth above upon satisfaction of the following conditions: |
|
4.1. This Twelfth Amendment. The Administrative Agent shall have received this Twelfth Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, and each of the Lenders, as applicable; |

|
5. Reaffirmation and Ratification. The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby reaffirms, ratifies and confirms its Obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent it is a party) and all other Loan Documents and acknowledges that all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents, except as otherwise provided herein or therein, remain in full force and effect. The Borrower and each Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that the liens, security interests, pledges, and assignments created by the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents are valid, effective, properly perfected, and enforceable liens, security interests, pledges, and assignments, and hereby reaffirms the grant of all liens, security interests, pledges, and assignments which each has previously granted to the Administrative Agent and Lenders. |
|

|
7. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Loan Parties hereby confirms that all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement (to the extent it is a party to the Credit Agreement or in the case of Reading International, Inc., all of the representations and warranties in its Continuing and Unconditional Guaranty dated March 27, 2024), as applicable, continue to be true and correct in all material respects after giving effect to this Twelfth Amendment, except: (i) for representations and warranties which are qualified by the inclusion of a materiality standard, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects; and |
(ii) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided, in each case, that any representation or warranty which is qualified by reference to Material Adverse Effect shall exclude events, circumstances, occurrences or conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
|
8. Events of Default. After giving effect to this Twelfth Amendment, no Default nor any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement. |
|
9. Integration. This Twelfth Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties and negotiations regarding the subject matter hereof, if any, are merged into this Twelfth Amendment. |
|
10. Counterparts. This Twelfth Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. |
|
11. Governing Law. This Twelfth Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law principles) of the State of New York. |

the Borrower must pay to the Bank the deficiency and any loss, costs or expenses resulting from it.

If an adjustment event arises in relation to a supply made by the Bank to the Borrower under a Transaction Document, a corresponding adjustment must be made between the Bank and the Borrower in relation to any amount paid to the Bank by the Borrower under clause 13.1 and payments to give effect to the adjustment must be made.

(a)A person automatically becomes a party to this document as a Guarantor and Transaction Party (after the date of this document) by signing and delivering to the Bank a Guarantor Accession Deed and doing anything else which the Bank reasonably requests to ensure the enforceability of that person’s obligations as a Guarantor.

(b)to postpone, stay, suspend or curtail any rights of the Bank under the Transaction Documents,is excluded except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or rendered ineffective by law.
Corrs Chambers Westgarth
Time is of the essence as regards any obligations of the Borrower or any date or period determined under the Transaction Documents, and if any date or period is altered by agreement between the parties, time is of the essence as regards such altered date or period.
(a)If the day on or by which anything, other than making a payment, must be done by the Borrower under a Transaction Document is not a Business Day, that thing must be done on or by the preceding Business Day.
(b)If a payment would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day it will be due on the immediately following Business Day. However, if this would result in the payment being due in the month after the original due day or after the Termination Date it will be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)If anything, including making a payment, is to be done by the Borrower on or by a particular day and it is done:
(i)after the time by which a Transaction Document states it must be done or, if the Transaction Document does not state a time, after 4.00 pm in the place where it is to be done; or
(ii)on a day which is not a Business Day,
it will be deemed to have been done at 9.00 am on the next Business Day.

(i)where permitted in a Transaction Document;
(ii)to another party to a Transaction Document;
(iii)to a potential transferee, assignee, participant or sub-participant of the Bank’s interests under a Transaction Document or to any other person who is considering entering into contractual relations with it in connection with a Transaction Document;
(iv)to the Bank’s related bodies corporate and shareholders, or to any employee, banker, lawyer, auditor or other consultant of the Bank, its related bodies corporate or its shareholders;

Corrs Chambers Westgarth
(i)with the prior written consent of the Bank;
(ii)to the extent required by any applicable law or regulation;
(iii)to the extent it reasonably deems necessary in connection with any actual or contemplated proceedings or a claim with respect to this clause 18.6; or
(iv)to the extent permitted by clause 18.6(a) (other than paragraph (iii)) as if each reference in that clause to the ‘Bank’ were to a ‘Transaction Party’ and each reference to the ‘Borrower’ were to the ‘Bank’; or
(v)Reading International, Inc. or any other holding company of a Transaction Party (who in turn may disclose such information to their officers or employees or to the extent required by any applicable law or regulation or rule of any stock exchange).
(d)The Bank and the Transaction Parties agree that:
(i)neither of them will disclose information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) of the PPS Act; and
(ii)this document does not create a Security Interest.
(e)This clause 18.6 survives the termination of this document.
(f)The Bank acknowledges that:
(i)information provided from time to time by the Transaction Parties to the Bank may constitute confidential non-public information; and
(ii)trading in marketable securities of Reading International Inc while in possession of the information referred to clause 18.6(f)(i) will violate United States' federal securities laws.
(g)The Bank agrees to:
(i)take reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of the information referred to in clause 18.6(f)(i); and
(ii)advise any party to whom the information referred to in clause 18.6(f)(i) is disclosed that it may not trade in the marketable securities of Reading International Inc while in the possession of such information.
(h)This clause 18.6 will not be deemed to restrict the provision of information by any party to the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America.
Subject to any express provision to the contrary, if for the purposes of a Transaction Document it is necessary to convert one currency into another currency, the conversion must be effected using an exchange rate selected by the Bank acting reasonably and in accordance with it usual practices.
The Bank may maintain records specifying:
(a)payments made by the Bank for the account of a Transaction Party under a Transaction Document;
(b)payments by a Transaction Party for the account of the Bank under a Transaction Document; and
(c)interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable in relation to the Transaction Documents and those records will against the Borrower constitute prima facie evidence of the matters set out in them.
The Borrower must promptly execute all documents and do all things that the Bank from time to time reasonably requires to:
(a)effect, perfect or complete the provisions of each Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated by it;
(b)establish the priority of or reserve or create any Security Interest contemplated by or purported to be reserved or created by a Transaction Document; and

This document may only be varied or replaced by a document executed by the parties.
18.11Waiver and exercise of rights
(a)A right in favour of the Bank under a Transaction Document, a breach of an obligation of the Borrower under a Transaction Document or an Event of Default can only be waived by an instrument signed by the Bank. No other act, omission or delay of the Bank constitutes a waiver binding, or estoppel against, the Bank.
(b)A single or partial exercise or waiver by the Bank of a right relating to a Transaction Document does not prevent any other exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.
(c)The Bank and its Representatives are not liable for any loss, cost or expense of the Borrower caused or contributed to by the waiver, exercise, attempted exercise, failure to exercise or delay in the exercise of a right and the Bank holds the benefit of this clause 18.11 on trust for itself and its Representatives.
The rights of the Bank under the Transaction Documents are cumulative and in addition to its other rights.
Except where a Transaction Document expressly provides otherwise, the Bank may conditionally or unconditionally give or withhold any consent under a Transaction Document and is not obliged to give its reasons for doing so.
(a)The Borrower must not dispose of or Encumber any right under the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Bank.
(b)The Bank may assign any of its rights or novate, sub-participate, sell-down or transfer by whatever form or otherwise deal with any or all of its rights and obligations under any Transaction Document without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower.
(c)If an Event of Default subsists then, in order to facilitate the Bank to deal with its rights and obligations, the Bank may (but is not obliged to), from time to time, separate and sever any of its rights (or any part of any of its rights) described in a notice given by the Bank to the Borrower from its other rights and obligations under any Transaction Document. Any such notice is effective on the time of delivery to separate and sever the rights described in the notice so that:
(i)those rights and obligations are independent from, and may be assigned (including at law), novated, sub-participated, sold-down, transferred or otherwise dealt with separately from, any other of the rights and obligations of the Bank under that Transaction Document;
(ii)those rights and obligations may be exercised differently from any other rights and obligations of the Bank under that Transaction Document; and
(iii)the Outstanding Accommodation in respect of those rights may be calculated separately from the other Outstanding Accommodation.
(d)If the Bank assigns its rights or transfers its rights and obligations under this document or any other Transaction Document, no Transaction Party will be required to pay any net increase in the aggregate amount of costs, Taxes, fees or charges which is a direct consequence of the assignment or transfer.
This document may consist of a number of counterparts and, if so, the counterparts taken together constitute one document.
Corrs Chambers Westgarth
The Borrower irrevocably waives any immunity that it or its property has from:
(a)set-off;
(b)legal, arbitral or administrative proceedings;
(c)any process or order of any court, administrative tribunal or arbitrator for the satisfaction or enforcement of a judgment, order or arbitral award or for the arrest, detention or sale of any property; or
(d)service on it of any process, judgment, order or arbitral award, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise under any law of any jurisdiction where any proceedings may be brought or enforced in relation to any Event of Default under a Transaction Document.
18.17Governing law and jurisdiction
(a)This document is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the Relevant Jurisdiction.
(b)Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts exercising jurisdiction in the Relevant Jurisdiction and any courts which have jurisdiction to hear appeals from any of those courts and waives any right to object to any proceedings being brought in those courts.
The Borrower consents to the Bank recording any telephone conversations between it and the Bank in relation to any Facility that are customarily recorded in the finance industry or where the Borrower is notified prior to the commencement of the telephone conversation and such recordings being used in any arbitral or legal proceedings and any telephone recording remains the Bank’s sole property at all times.
The Borrower acknowledges that, except as expressly set out in a Transaction Document:
(a)none of the Bank or any of its advisers have given any representation or warranty or other assurance to it in relation to any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document, including as to Tax or other effects;
(b)it has not relied on the Bank or any of its advisers or on any conduct (including any recommendation) by the Bank or any of its advisers; and
(c)it has obtained its own independent financial, Tax and legal advice.
Whenever the Bank requests a Transaction Party to do anything:
(a)to ensure any Transaction Document (or any security interest (as defined in the PPS Act) or other Security Interest, right or power under any Transaction Document) is fully effective, enforceable and perfected with the contemplated priority;
(b)for more satisfactorily assuring or securing to the Bank the property the subject of any such security interest or other Security in a manner consistent with the Transaction Documents; or
(c)for aiding the exercise of any right or power in any Transaction Document, the Transaction Party shall do it promptly at its own cost. This may include obtaining consents, getting documents completed and signed, supplying information, delivering documents and evidence of title and executed blank transfers, and giving possession or control with respect to any Secured Property.
Corrs Chambers Westgarth
18.21Exclusion of certain provisions
Where there is a Security Interest under any Transaction Document:
(a)to the extent permitted, sections 142 and 143 of the PPS Act are excluded in full and will not apply to that Security Interest and the Bank need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130 , 132(3)(d), and 132(4) of the PPS Act; and
(b)each Transaction Party waives its right to receive from the Bank any notice required under s157 of the PPS Act or the provisions of the PPS Act referred to in s144 of the PPS Act, except section 135.
This does not affect any rights a person has or would have other than by reason of the PPS Act and applies despite any other clause in any Transaction Document.

(a)a Transaction Party (or if the Transaction Party is trustee of a Trust or a partner of a partnership, the Trust or the partnership) changes its name;
(b)any ABN, ARBN or ARSN allocated to a Transaction Party (or if the Transaction Party is trustee of a Trust or a partner of a partnership, the Trust or the partnership) changes, is cancelled or otherwise ceases to apply to it (or if it does not have an ABN, ARBN or ARSN, one is allocated, or otherwise starts to apply, to it); or
(c)the Borrower becomes trustee of a trust, or a partner in a partnership, which is not expressly contemplated in the Transaction Documents.
