From: Kinepolis Press Office pressoffice@kinepolis.com Sent: donderdag 25 februari 2021 7:01 To: Anneleen Van Troos Subject: Kinepolis limits cash burn in 2020 and maintains a solid financial basis throughout the Covid-19 crisis

Kinepolis limits cash burn in 2020 and maintains a solid financial basis throughout the Covid-19 crisis
Regulatory release
25 February 2021, 7 a.m.
After a promising start of the year 2020 for Kinepolis, with a 12.0% increase in visitor numbers up to 12 March, the cinema industry was badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, with long periods of cinema closures and restrictive measures as well as repeated postponements of blockbuster movie releases.
As such, Kinepolis welcomed 12.1 million visitors in 2020, compared to initial expectations of more than 45 million visitors. Thanks to strong cost control and various measures that were taken, the EBITDA loss, adjusted for leases (EBITDAL), has been limited to € -14.0 million.
Kinepolis entered the crisis with a conservative debt ratio and a significant liquidity reserve, reinforced by the additional loan of € 80.0 million concluded at the beginning of 2021. Strong cost management, supported by the Group's significant real estate position, ensures that Kinepolis can confidently navigate through the crisis and can continue to cope with the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic for a considerable period of time. The Group had € 171.0 million of financial headroom at the start of 2021.
In recent months, management has focused on further consolidating its business strategy, resulting in a plan called 'Entrepreneurship 2022' - which, based on further optimisation measures and innovation, should provide maximum support for the restart and performance of the Group from 2022 on. The construction of various newbuild projects was also continued in the past year, and these new cinemas will also help support the restart.
Important achievements in 2020
- o Mainly thanks to strong cost management, the cash burn as a result of the Covid crisis was limited to € 32.1 million in 2020 (excluding working capital impact).
- o An additional bullet loan of € 80.0 million, with a term of 3 years, combined with an extension of the covenant holiday until 30 June 2022.
- o Development of the 'Entrepreneurship 2022' plans, in further execution of the Kinepolis business strategy.
- o Continuation and completion of various new construction projects: Kinepolis Haarlem (NL), Leidschendam (NL), Metz Waves (FR) and Edmonton Tamarack (CA)
- o Various new initiatives in the context of Covid-19, including 'Kinepolis on Tour', a home delivery service and a 'private cinema' concept.
Key figures for 2020 as compared to 2019
- o Kinepolis welcomed 12.1 million visitors in 2020 due to the repeated closures of the cinemas from mid-March, the safety measures that were imposed and the postponement of blockbusters.
- o The total revenue per visitor also increased during 2020.
- o Thanks to the cost measures taken, the EBITDAL, i.e. EBITDA adjusted for leases, was only € -14.0 million.
- o The net result amounted to € -69.1 million, mainly due to the high depreciations related to the significant real estate position of the Group.
- o Free cash flow amounted to € -56.5 million for the full year. Without taking the working capital loss into account, the free cash flow was limited to just € -3.6 million per month in the second half of the year.
- o The net financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, compared to 31 December 2019, increased from € 417.0 million to € 513.3 million, mainly due to the negative free cash flow combined with investments in the construction of new complexes.
- o In view of the result and the current circumstances, a proposal will be made to the General Meeting not to distribute a dividend for the 2020 financial year.
Eddy Duquenne, CEO of Kinepolis Group, about the results for 2020:
"Financially, Kinepolis is still in a very strong position. Our net financial debt has only increased by € 96.3 million. This includes nearly € 40 million in investments in expansion. This debt also includes a working capital loss of € 24.3 million due to the discontinuation of our activities, which we will recover when we restart our cinemas. This means that our actual cash burn in 2020 was only € 32.1 million, something we can be proud of in the circumstances. With a liquidity reserve of € 171.0 million at the start of this year, Kinepolis can stand firm for quite some time and we can say with certainty that our company will survive this crisis.
Everyone is waiting for the reopening of the cinemas. Both the US studios, who continue to postpone their blockbusters because of the importance of cinemas in the life cycle of a film, and our customers, who need to be able to relax away from home. And our employees, who have been unemployed for a long time, are also eager to get back into action. We are convinced that we can reopen safely and thereby contribute to everyone's well-being. In the meantime, we are continuing to prepare for the future with our 'Entrepreneurship 2022' plans."

Note
Visitors
The impact of the lengthy closures and the safety measures that were imposed, in combination with the lack of international releases, meant that Kinepolis welcomed only 12.1 million visitors in 2020 (-70.1% compared to 2019). The addition of the American cinemas, which were acquired in the autumn of 2019, did not weaken the drop in visitors, as the MJR cinemas were closed for most of the year.
We saw declines in visitors of more than 70% in all countries, except in the Netherlands (-55.7%) where the cinemas were open for longer periods and where successful local content partially compensated for the lack of Hollywood content.

Kinepolis Group Annual results 2020 Regulatory release – 25 February 2021
The top 5 of 2020 was made up of 'Bad Boys for Life', '1917', 'Sonic The Hedgehog', 'Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker' and 'Tenet'. The most successful local films were 'F.C. De Kampioenen 4' and 'The Bigfoot Family' in Belgium, 'Ducobu 3.0' and '30 jours max' in France, 'De Beentjes van Sint Hildegard' and 'April, May en June' in the Netherlands, 'Padre no hay más que uno 2: la llegada de la suegra' and 'Adú' in Spain and 'The Broken Hearts Gallery' in Canada.

Revenue
Total revenue in 2020 amounted to € 176.3 million. Revenue fell less sharply than visitor numbers, mainly thanks to the revenue from B2B, concessions and film distribution, which fell less sharply than visitors. Visitor-related revenue decreased by 70.2%, and thereby remained virtually stable compared to the evolution of visitor numbers. Revenue from Box Office (BO) decreased by 70.0% and revenue from the sale of drinks and snacks (In-theatre sales, ITS) fell by 70.5%. BO revenue per visitor showed a slight increase due to the increased weighting of the Netherlands, and ITS revenue per visitor decreased slightly due to restrictions on sales in many countries in the fourth quarter.
Revenue from B2B activities decreased by 62.4%, with Brightfish (the Belgian screen advertising agency) experiencing a 75.8% fall in revenue. Revenue from real estate activities, as well as from the Belgian film distribution branch (Kinepolis Film Distribution, KFD) declined less, by 21.4% and 35.6% respectively.

Kinepolis Group Annual results 2020 Regulatory release – 25 February 2021

Revenue by country
Revenue by activity

Box Office revenue amounted to € 91.4 million. The BO per visitor decreased in almost all countries due to the absence of blockbusters and the resulting lower sales of premium products such as Cosy Seats, Laser ULTRA, 4DX and ScreenX, as well as a lower share of 3D. BO revenue per visitor increased in Spain, thanks to fewer price promotions in 2020 and an increase in ticket prices in 2019.
In-theatre sales amounted to € 45.9 million, falling slightly more than the development in visitor numbers, due to less 'popcorn content' on the one hand and the restrictions on sales in many countries in the fourth quarter on the other hand. We saw a decline in revenue per visitor in almost all countries, except in North America, where both Canada and the US recorded an increase in the number of products sold per visitor.

Kinepolis Group Annual results 2020 Regulatory release – 25 February 2021
B2B revenue decreased by 62.4%, partly due to a strong decline in screen advertising (-71.2%) and a decrease in the sale of vouchers and events.
Real estate income decreased by 21.4% due to a decrease in the variable rent in Poland, allowances to tenants during the lockdown and a number of vacant concessions in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The revenue of Kinepolis Film Distribution (KFD) decreased by only 35.6%, despite fewer releases, mainly due to increased revenue from the after-theatrical catalogue (home entertainment).
Brightfish saw its income fall by 75.8%, due to the closure of the cinemas and a consequent sharp decline in both events and national and local screen advertising.
EBITDA
Thanks to the cost measures taken, EBITDA was positive, but decreased by 90.0%, to € 17.2 million. EBITDA adjusted for leases (EBITDAL) amounted to € -14.0 million. The EBITDA per visitor decreased from € 4.27 to € 1.43.
Loss over the period
The loss before tax amounted to € -91.7 million, but was partly offset by the creation of tax assets, resulting in a € -69.1 million loss for 2020, which is explained by the operating loss (EBITDAL), the higher financial costs and the depreciations through the investments in newly built complexes, as well as in acquisitions dating from 2019.
The net financial result increased, mainly due to the placement of bonds amounting to € 225.0 million in July 2019 and the partial withdrawal of the roll-over credit throughout 2020.
The effective tax rate at 24.6% was considerably lower than the tax rate of 29.7% in 2019.
The result per share amounted to € -2.56.
Free cash flow and net financial debt
The free cash flow was € -56.5 million, compared with € 90.2 million in 2019. Free cash flow was negatively impacted by the working capital loss of € 24.3 million.
The free cash flow after expansion investments, dividends and the sale of assets amounted to € -94.8 million, including € 39.7 million in investments in external expansion with the construction of five new complexes in the Netherlands, France and Canada and the roll-out of experience concepts, such as ScreenX and Laser ULTRA, in the first quarter of 2020 in existing and acquired cinemas. Investments in maintenance were limited to € 5.6 million and were mainly in the first quarter due to the general investment stop following the start of the first lockdown.
The net financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, increased by only € 96.3 million, mainly due to internal and external expansion for a total amount of € 39.7 million and a working capital loss of € 24.3 million due to the almost complete cessation of activities. Without these investments and the loss of

Kinepolis Group Annual results 2020 Regulatory release – 25 February 2021
working capital, the increase in net financial debt1 was only € 32.3 million in a period of very limited turnover since mid-March.
Kinepolis is only required to comply with conditions relating to, among others, the maximum debt ratio (covenants) on its bank debt. This relates to the roll-over credit of € 120.0 million (€ 66.5 million drawn on 31/12/2020) and a term loan of € 20.3 million. The new credit taken out at the beginning of January 2021 for an amount of € 80.0 million is also covered by these covenants. No covenants apply to the other liabilities. There is only an increase in interest on the private placement of 2019 if a specific debt ratio is exceeded. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Kinepolis has reached an agreement with its financial institutions to allow a so-called 'covenant holiday' until 30 June 2022. This means that, among other things, the conditions relating to the maximum debt ratio in relation to the EBITDAL will be temporarily suspended until the half-year figures of 30 June 2022. These conditions, which only apply to bank debt, will be replaced by, among other things, a liquidity covenant, which means that the sum of the available cash and confirmed credit lines must be at least € 30.0 million during the term of this covenant holiday.
Kinepolis Group had € 171.0 million in liquidity at the start of 2021, including the new credit of € 80.0 million concluded at the beginning of January.
Total gross financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, increased by € 56.9 million to € 546.6 million as per 31 December 2020, compared to 31 December 2019 (€ 489.7 million). This gross debt does not include the new credit of € 80.0 million with a term of 3 years, which was entered into at the beginning of January 2021.
Balance sheet
Equity was € 126.5 million on 31 December 2020. Solvency was 10.8%, compared with 16.5% in 2019.
Dividend
In view of the result and the current circumstances, the Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting of 12 May 2021 not to distribute a dividend for the 2020 financial year.
Important events in 2020
Kinepolis free to open new cinemas in Belgium from August 2021
On 23 October 2019, the Brussels Court of Appeal annulled the ruling of the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA) issued on 25 March 2019 and decided to abolish the condition that prevents Kinepolis from growing organically in Belgium. The Competition Authority then commented on the transitional period on 11 February 2020, ruling that Kinepolis would no longer require prior permission to open new cinema complexes in its home market from 12 August 2021.
Renovation of the 'Full' cinema in Barcelona
In Spain, the first closure was used to thoroughly renovate the 'Full' cinema, which was acquired in 2019 in Barcelona. For example, the cinema was fitted with a completely renovated shop, entirely in
1 Net financial debt excluding lease liabilities.

Kinepolis Group Annual results 2020 Regulatory release – 25 February 2021
line with Kinepolis' well-known self-service shop concept. The cinema in Barcelona, which has 28 screens and more than 2,500 seats, will continue to operate under the established 'Full' brand.
Successful 'Kinepolis on Tour' drive-in campaign
Kinepolis launched the 'Kinepolis on Tour' drive-in cinema concept in Belgium at the beginning of the summer. Over the entire summer period, 'Kinepolis on Tour' visited various locations to allow visitors to enjoy a film on the largest mobile LED screen in the world from the comfort of their cars. 'Kinepolis On Tour' hosted more than 16,000 cars this summer, spread over ten different locations. A 'Kinepolis on Tour' edition is also planned for the Easter holidays and summer of 2021.
Opening of Kinepolis Haarlem
Kinepolis opened a new cinema in the Schalkwijk Centre in Haarlem (NL) on 8 October 2020. The cinema has 6 screens and 937 seats, and all screens are equipped with laser projection, including one with Laser ULTRA technology. The opening of a new cinema fits in with the redevelopment of Schalkwijk Centre. The project for the new cinema in Haarlem was acquired by Kinepolis as part of the acquisition of NH Cinemas in January 2018.
Kinepolis Leidschendam ready for opening from 18 March
As soon as the situation permits, Kinepolis plans to open its new cinema in Leidschendam in the Netherlands, as part of the 'Westfield Mall of the Netherlands' project. This is a project by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, in which the Leidsenhage shopping centre was transformed into the largest shopping centre in the Netherlands. The opening of the new shopping centre is planned for 18 March. The cinema will have 11 screens and Kinepolis expects to receive around 500,000 visitors per year.
Kinepolis Metz Waves ready for opening
Kinepolis also plans to open a new cinema in the Waves-Actisud commercial centre in Moulins-lès-Metz, France, in the first quarter of 2021. The cinema has 6 screens and around 900 seats. Kinepolis expects to receive around 300,000 visitors per year in this new French complex.
Landmark Tamarack ready for opening
And in Canada, a brand new Landmark cinema will open at the 'Grove on 17' site in the Tamarack region of southeast Edmonton, Alberta, as soon as the situation permits. All eight auditoriums will be equipped with the Landmark luxury 'recliner' seat concept in a complete stadium layout. The new cinema will be fully equipped with Cinionic Barco laser projection and will also have a 'MarketPlace' shop, in line with the well-known Kinepolis shop concept.
Launch of home delivery service for cinema snacks
During the lockdown in the spring of 2020, Landmark Cinemas Canada launched a home delivery service for cinema snacks, working together with Uber Eats, among others. This concept was also tested in Antwerp (BE) in December 2020. The Kinepolis home delivery service will soon also be available in Kortrijk, Leuven, Ghent and Liège.
Launch of 'Private Cinema' concept
After more than seven months of closure, MJR Digital Cinemas successfully launched a 'private cinema' concept in October. Groups of up to 20 persons could reserve private screenings in our American cinemas. This concept has since been translated into a European variant, 'Kinepolis Privé', which was launched in Luxembourg on 24 February 2021, and is also planned for Belgium. This is an exclusive

Kinepolis Group Annual results 2020 Regulatory release – 25 February 2021
private film screening for your friends and family, up to 10 people, ensuring of course that social distancing between bubbles is guaranteed.
Kinepolis concludes 3-year credit of € 80.0 million and extends the covenant holiday In order to be prepared for possible longer delays before the full resumption of its activities, Kinepolis has taken out an additional loan of € 80.0 million with its main bankers for a period of 3 years. In this context, the banks also extended the suspension of the credit covenants ('covenant holiday') until 30 June 2022. These covenants - which include a maximum debt level - were replaced by a liquidity covenant following the extended suspension. In line with the existing bank credit facilities, the additional credit provides for a number of conditions that limit the disposal of assets, acquisitions and the payment of dividends above a financial debt level of 3.75. On account of its strong balance sheet, the rigorous cost control measures applied, the solid real estate position and the back-up of an 80% guarantee provided by Gigarant (the state guarantee fund), Kinepolis succeeded in concluding the additional credit at attractive commercial terms.
Line-up for 2021
At the moment, most cinemas are closed as a result of the measures imposed in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The following international releases have been confirmed for 2021, among others: 'Godzilla vs. Kong', 'Mortal Combat', 'The Croods II', 'Black Widow', 'The Conjuring 3', 'Peter Rabbit 2', 'Top Gun', 'Death on the Nile', 'Dune' and 'No Time to Die'. Many local films are also on the program, including 'K3: Dans van de Farao', 'Rookie' and 'Red Sandra' in Flanders, 'Amants', 'Le Sens de la Famille' and 'Eiffel' in France and Wallonia, 'Ostwind - Der Grosse Orkan' in Luxembourg, 'Operación Camarón' in Spain and 'De Slag om de Schelde' and 'De Veroordeling' in the Netherlands. Live opera, ballet and theatre are, as always, complemented by art exhibitions and concerts.
Procedures of the auditor
The statutory auditor, KPMG Bedrijfsrevisoren - Réviseurs d'Entreprises, represented by Frederic Poesen, has confirmed that the audit procedures, which have been substantially completed, have not revealed any material misstatement in the accounting information included in the Company's annual announcement.
