Cineworld Group - Full year 2021

17 March 2022

Overview

Operational Update:

All sites across the Group opened since June and operating with no restrictions since early March

Recovery has been driven by a strong slate of movies including record breaking Spider-Man: No Way Home, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Venom, and No Time to Die

January and February 2022 have been impacted by a record number of new COVID-19 cases due to the Omicron variant and lack of new releases

March started strong in light of decline in COVID-19 cases and outstanding performance of Batman

Key management actions taken during 2021:

Commercial initiatives: studio and landlord agreements

Operational measures: cash preservation, cinema reopening and permanent cost reduction

Financing initiatives: secured additional financing and covenant waivers

Business now well positioned to benefit from the strong movie slate in 2022 and beyond
