NCM Bankruptcy. On April 11, 2023, National CineMedia, LLC filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas. NCM is the in-theatre advertising provider for the majority of the Company’s theatres in the United States. Under the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on August 7, 2023 (the “Plan”), NCM has assumed its agreements with the Company. As part of the Plan, on August 7, 2023, NCM issued 16,581,829 common units (“NCM Common Units”) that were owed to the Company as part of the annual common unit adjustment. But under the terms of the Plan and the restructuring of the equity of NCM thereunder, the NCM Common Units were immediately cancelled upon the efficacy of the Plan. The Company has filed appeals with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, objecting to, among other things, certain terms of the Plan, including modification of the terms of the exhibitor services agreement with other parties that were not granted to the Company and appeal of the court’s order to approve cancellation of the NCM Common Unit issuance. The Company does not expect its bankruptcy to have a material impact on the Company. Gift Cards and Exchange Tickets. The total amount of non-redeemed gift cards and exchange tickets included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 was $273.2 million. This will be recognized as revenues as the gift cards and exchange tickets are redeemed or as the non-redeemed gift card and exchange ticket revenues are recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions, which is estimated to occur over the next 24 months. Loyalty Programs. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of deferred revenues allocated to the loyalty programs included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $75.6 million. The earned points will be recognized as revenue as the points are redeemed, which is estimated to occur over the next 24 months. The AMC Stubs® annual membership fee is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
