Los Angeles, California, - (PR NEWSWIRE) –August 7, 2009 – Reading International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDI) announced today results for its quarter ended June 30, 2009.

2009 Highlights
 
·  
our EBITDA(1) for the 2009 June quarter was $16.7 million compared to $9.2 million in the 2008 quarter, an increase of 80.7%;
 
·  
for the  2009 six months our EBITDA(1) was $21.9 million compared to $16.2 million in 2008, an increase of 35.6%;
 
·  
we had significant local currency cinema revenue growth in both Australia and New Zealand, with Australia showing a 33% increase and New Zealand a 15.5% increase over the June quarter in 2008.  In Australia, in local currency, this quarter’s revenue at AUS$27.0 million was a record high;
 
·  
the first fully comparable quarter to the prior year in our US cinema operations, since our Consolidated Entertainment acquisition resulted in a revenue increase for such operations of $1.0 million or 3.6%, over the prior year quarter;
 
·  
we reduced our general and administrative expenses by 13.8% for the quarter and 9.7% for the half year, compared to prior year;
 
·  
during first quarter of 2009, we reacquired 45.8% of our outstanding Trust Preferred Securities (“TPS”) for $11.5 million thereby extinguishing $22.9 million of our debt related to these securities on April 30, 2009.  This resulted in us recognizing an $11.5 million gain on retirement of subordinated debt in the current quarter offset by a $0.7 million write off of deferred financing costs associated with this transaction;
 
·  
the anticipated purchaser of our Auburn property elected not to proceed, allowing us to take into income $1.5 million (AUS$2.0 million) in previously made option payments;
 
·  
the decrease in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars vis-à-vis the US dollar from $0.9562 and $0.7609, respectively, as of June 30, 2008 to $0.8055 and $0.6447, respectively, as of June 30, 2009, had a  dampening effect on our reported operational earnings for the 2009 quarter compared to the 2008 quarter even though our operational income in the local currencies increased by 47.2% in Australia and 43.0% in New Zealand; and
 
 

 
 
·  
primarily as a result of the stronger operating income, the TPS gain, and the fact that both the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar have recaptured some of their value since year end, when such currencies traded at $0.6983 and $0.5815, respectively, our stockholders’ equity has risen to $93.8 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $69.4 million at December 31, 2008.

Subsequent to June 30, 2009, as part of the terms of settlement, we and Magoon Acquisition and Development, LLC (“Magoon LLC”) closed on the sale of our respective interests in Malulani Investments, Limited (“MIL”) and The Malulani Group, Limited (collectively, “MMG”) and settled certain litigation with MMG and certain of their officers and Directors.  As a result of the sale and the settlement (which was negotiated in March 2009), on July 2, 2009, we received $2.5 million in cash and $6.75 million in notes aggregating $9.25 million, and a ten-year tail interest in MIL.  Under the terms of our Shareholders’ Agreement with Magoon LLC, substantially all of the proceeds of this sale and settlement will be allocated to us, until we have recouped our initial investment in MIL and all costs advanced by us with respect to the litigation.

Second Quarter 2009 Discussion

On February 22, 2008, we acquired 15 cinemas with 181 screens in Hawaii and California, the Consolidated Entertainment acquisition.  This quarter was the first fully comparable year-to-year quarter for our US cinema operations.  These assets provided an operating income before depreciation and amortization in the second quarter of 2009 of $3.4 million compared to the $2.0 million provided in the same quarter of 2008.

Revenue from operations increased from $53.8 million in the 2008 quarter to $54.4 million in 2009, a 1.2% increase.  The cinema revenue increase of $1.7 million was driven by a $1.0 million increase in the US, a $1.2 million increase in Australia and a decrease in New Zealand of $0.5 million.  The results of Australia and New Zealand were affected negatively by the previously mentioned currency exchange movements even though we noted significantly higher revenues in the local currencies for the period in both Australia and New Zealand.  The top 3 grossing films for the quarter in our circuit worldwide were: “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “The Hangover” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which between them accounted for approximately 20.4% of our cinema box office revenue.  The real estate revenue was down by $1.1 million from quarter to quarter, as a result of the negative currency exchange effects in Australia and New Zealand as well as lower live theatre rentals in the US.  In local currencies, real estate revenue was flat in both Australia and New Zealand.

As a percentage of revenue, operating expense, at 76.8% in the 2009 quarter was lower than the 82.0% of the 2008 quarter.  This decrease was in part related to the final allocation for accounting purposes of a greater portion of the purchase price paid for our Consolidated Entertainment cinemas to goodwill than originally estimated.  This change, effective in the fourth quarter of 2008, has resulted in higher straight-line rent and acquired lease costs in 2008 than in 2009.  This increase was offset in part by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, discussed below, also resulting from this final allocation of the purchase price paid for the Consolidated Entertainment cinemas.  Additionally we noted decreased cinema costs from our Australia and New Zealand cinema operations primarily due to the impact of currency exchange rates.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.2 million, or 39.9%, from $5.5 million in the 2008 quarter to $3.3 million in the 2009 quarter, primarily due to the previously mentioned purchase accounting finalization for our acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinema assets.

As the sale of our Auburn property is no longer proceeding, we have moved the property back to continuing operations, and as a result we expensed $549,000 as catch-up depreciation, classified as loss on transfer of real estate from held for sale to continuing operations.

General and administrative expense decreased by $676,000 or 13.8%, from $4.9 million to $4.2 million in the 2009 quarter.  This decrease was primarily related to cost cutting measures implemented worldwide; one-time 2008 purchase related costs of our Consolidated Entertainment acquisition; and the impact of currency exchange rate decreases.

Driven by the above factors our operating income for the quarter increased by $5.3 million to $4.5 million compared to a loss of $762,000 in the same quarter last year.

Interest expense decreased by $168,000 from $3.0 million in the 2008 quarter to $2.9 million in the 2009 quarter.  This was primarily related to our ceasing to capitalize interest on our development properties, where development has been substantially curtailed, which resulted in an interest expense increase, which was offset by a reduction in interest expense due to the mark-to-market of our interest rate swaps.

For the 2009 quarter, we recorded an “other loss” of $1.8 million compared to an “other income” of $1.9 million for the 2008 quarter, a $3.6 million change.  For the 2009 quarter, the $1.8 million other loss included a $2.2 million loss on currency transactions and a $1.3 million other than temporary loss on our Becker marketable securities offset by a $1.5 million gain on the Auburn option termination.  The 2008 quarter other income of $1.9 million was primarily related to a gain on currency transactions of $447,000, a $314,000 receipt related to our Burstone litigation, and $910,000 of Hurricane Georges insurance proceeds related to damage caused in 1998 to one of our previously owned cinemas in Puerto Rico.

During the 2009 quarter, we recorded a $10.7 million gain on retirement of subordinated debt (TPS), net of a $749,000 loss on deferred financing costs associated with the subordinated debt.

In the 2008 quarter we recorded a gain on sale of investment in an unconsolidated entity of $2.5 million from the sale of our 50% interest in the cinema at Botany Downs in Auckland, New Zealand.

As a result of the above, we reported a net income of $9.9 million for the 2009 quarter compared to a net income of only $284,000 in the 2008 quarter.

Our EBITDA(1) at $16.7 million for the 2009 quarter was $7.5 million higher than the 2008 quarter of $9.2 million, predominantly driven by better operating margins (approximately $3.1 million) plus the gain on the TPS retirement (approximately $10.7 million) offset by the “other income (loss)” change (approximately $3.6 million) and the 2008 gain on sale (approximately $2.5 million).

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2009 quarter was $8.5 million after excluding:

·  
the $10.7 million gain on the retirement of our TPS debt;
·  
the $1.5 million gain from Auburn option payments;
·  
the $549,000 loss on transfer of Auburn;
·  
the realized transactional currency loss of $2.2 million; and
·  
the $1.3 million other than temporary loss on our Becker marketable securities.

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2008 quarter was $5.0 million after excluding:

·  
the $2.5 million gain on sale of Botany; and
·  
the $1.7 million in one-time and realized transactional currency gains.

First Half 2009 Summary

Our Consolidated Entertainment acquisition provided an operating income before depreciation and amortization in the 2009 six-months of $5.4 million compared to the $1.8 million provided in the 2008 six-months.

Revenue from operations increased from $93.5 million in 2008 to $101.5 million in 2009, an 8.6% increase.  The cinema revenue increase of $9.8 million was driven by an increase of $13.7 million in the US and decreases in Australia of $1.4 million and New Zealand of $2.5 million.  The decreases in Australia and New Zealand were currency exchange driven as the local currency revenues were up 22.7% in Australia and 3.3% in New Zealand, compared to the 2008 six-months.  The top 3 grossing films for the six-months in our circuit worldwide were: “Slumdog Millionaire,” “The Hangover” and “Fast and Furious,” which between them accounted for approximately 11.4% of our cinema box office revenue.  The real estate revenue was down by $1.8 million from 2008 to 2009, as a result of the negative currency exchange effects in Australia and New Zealand as well as lower live theatre rentals in the US.  In local currencies, real estate revenue was flat in both Australia and New Zealand.

As a percentage of revenue, operating expense, at 77.5% in 2009 was lower than the 78.7% of 2008.  The reduction was primarily driven by the same reasons as the quarter, above.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.2 million, or 23.8%, from $9.4 million in 2008 to $7.2 million in 2009, primarily due to the previously mentioned purchase accounting adjustments for our acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinema assets.

As the sale of our Auburn property is no longer proceeding, we have moved the property back to continuing operations, and as a result we expensed $549,000 as catch-up depreciation, classified as loss on transfer of real estate from held for sale to continuing operations.

General and administrative expense decreased by $929,000 or 9.7%, from $9.6 million to $8.7 million in 2009.  This decrease was primarily driven by the same reasons as the quarter, above.

Driven by the above factors, our operating income for the 2009 six-months increased by $5.6 million to $6.4 million, compared to income of $875,000 in the 2008 six-months.

Interest expense increased by $1.4 million, from $5.9 million in the 2008 six-months to $7.3 million in the 2009 six-months.  This was primarily related to our ceasing to capitalize interest on our development properties, where development has been substantially curtailed, which resulted in an interest expense increase.

In 2009, we recorded an “other loss” of $2.1 million compared to an “other income” of $3.6 million for the same period in 2008, a $5.7 million change.  The 2009 other loss of $2.1 million included a $2.2 million loss on currency transactions, a $2.1 million other than temporary loss on our Becker marketable securities, and a $1.5 million gain on the Auburn option termination.  The 2008 other income of $3.6 million was primarily related to a gain on currency transactions of $447,000; a $1.1 million receipt related to our Burstone litigation; $910,000 of insurance proceeds related to damage caused by Hurricane Georges in 1998 to one of our previously owned cinemas in Puerto Rico; and the settlement in our credit card dispute of $385,000.

During the 2009 six-months, we recorded a $10.7 million gain on retirement of subordinated debt (TPS), net of a $749,000 loss on deferred financing costs associated with the subordinated debt.

In 2008 we recorded a gain on sale of investment in an unconsolidated entity of $2.5 million from the sale of our 50% interest in the cinema at Botany Downs in Auckland, New Zealand.

As a result of the above, we reported a net income of $6.5 million for the 2009 six-months compared to a net income of only $56,000 in the 2008 six-months.

Our EBITDA(1) at $21.9 million for the 2009 six-months was $5.7 million higher than the 2008 six-months of $16.2 million, predominantly driven by better operating margins (approximately $3.3 million) plus the gain on the TPS retirement (approximately $10.7 million) offset by the “other income (loss)” change (approximately $5.7 million) and the 2008 gain on sale (approximately $2.5 million).

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2009 six-months was $14.5 million after excluding:

·  
the $10.7 million gain on the retirement of our TPS debt;
·  
the $1.5 million gain from Auburn option payments;
·  
the $549,000 loss on transfer of Auburn;
·  
the realized transactional currency loss of $2.2 million; and
·  
the $2.1 million other than temporary loss on our Becker available-for-sale shares.

Our adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 2008 quarter was $10.9 million after excluding:

·  
the $2.5 million gain on sale of Botany; and
·  
the $2.8 million in one-time and realized transactional currency gains.

Balance Sheet

Our total assets at June 30, 2009 were $379.0 million compared to $371.9 million at December 31, 2008.  The currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand as of June 30, 2009 were $0.8055 and $0.6447, respectively, and as of December 31, 2008, these rates were $0.6983 and $0.5815, respectively.  As a result, currency had a positive effect on the balance sheet at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.

Our cash position at June 30, 2009 was $21.2 million compared to $30.9 million at December 31, 2008, reflecting the $11.5 million used to effectively repurchase $22.9 million of our TPS in the first quarter of 2009.

At the present time we have approximately $3.8 million (AUS$5.5 million) in undrawn funds under our Australian Corporate Credit Facility.  During May 2009, we extended the term of our New Zealand facility to March 31, 2012 and reduced the available borrowing amount to $29.0 million (NZ$45.0 million).  As a result, we currently have undrawn funds of $19.3 million (NZ$30.0 million) available under our line of credit in New Zealand.  Accordingly, we believe that we have sufficient borrowing capacity under our Australian Corporate Credit Facility and our New Zealand line of credit to meet our anticipated short-term working capital requirements.

Our working capital at June 30, 2009 became negative by $10.2 million and compares to a positive working capital of $12.5 million at December 31, 2008, again driven by the TPS repurchase and the recharacterization of two loans that have become short-term in nature, totaling $12.5 million.

Stockholders’ equity was $93.8 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $69.4 million at December 31, 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements

Our statements in this press release contain a variety of forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements reflect only our expectations regarding future events and operating performance and necessarily speak only as of the date the information was prepared.  No guarantees can be given that our expectation will in fact be realized, in whole or in part.  You can recognize these statements by our use of words such as, by way of example, “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” and “anticipate” or other similar terminology.

These forward-looking statements reflect our expectation after having considered a variety of risks and uncertainties.  However, they are necessarily the product of internal discussion and do not necessarily completely reflect the views of individual members of our Board of Directors or of our management team.  Individual Board members and individual members of our management team may have different views as to the risks and uncertainties involved, and may have different views as to future events or our operating performance.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements are the following:

·  
With respect to our cinema operations:

o  
The number and attractiveness to movie goers of the films released in future periods;

o  
The amount of money spent by film distributors to promote their motion pictures;

o  
The licensing fees and terms required by film distributors from motion picture exhibitors in order to exhibit their films;

o  
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; and

o  
The extent to which we encounter competition from other cinema exhibitors, from other sources of outside of the home entertainment, and from inside the home entertainment options, such as “home theaters” and competitive film product distribution technology such as, by way of example, cable, satellite broadcast, DVD and VHS rentals and sales, and so called “movies on demand;”

·  
With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:

o  
The rental rates and capitalization rates applicable to the markets in which we operate and the quality of properties that we own;

o  
The extent to which we can obtain on a timely basis the various land use approvals and entitlements needed to develop our properties;

o  
the risks and uncertainties associated with real estate development;

o  
The availability and cost of labor and materials;

o  
Competition for development sites and tenants; and

o  
The extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor tenant which will, in turn, be influenced by the same factors as will influence generally the results of our cinema operations;

 
7

 
 
·  
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:

o  
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;

o  
The relative values of the currency used in the countries in which we operate;

o  
Changes in government regulation, including by way of example, the costs resulting from the implementation of the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley;

o  
Our labor relations and costs of labor (including future government requirements with respect to pension liabilities, disability insurance and health coverage, and vacations and leave);

o  
 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;

o  
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; and

o  
Changes in applicable accounting policies and practices.

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 and fancy, weather, and the extent to which consumers in our markets have the economic wherewithal to spend money on beyond-the-home entertainment.

Given the variety and unpredictability of the factors that will ultimately influence our businesses and our results of operation, it naturally follows that 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.

Finally, please understand that 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.

Additionally, certain of the presentations included in this press release may contain “pro forma” information or “non-US GAAP financial measures.”  In such case, a reconciliation of this information to our US GAAP financial statements will be made available in connection with such statements.

(1) The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation, and amortization.  EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure as we believe it to be a relevant and useful measure to compare operating results among our properties and competitors, as well as a measurement tool for evaluation of operating personnel.  EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under the promulgations of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss, operating loss or cash flows from operations determined in accordance with GAAP.  Finally, EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparing performance amongst different companies.  See the “Supplemental Data” table attached for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss).
