"During the second quarter, we showed operating leverage, delivering strong growth in net earnings, which translated to operating cash flow growth in the period.  Our bottom line financials reflected expanding margins and continued cost controls," stated Richard L. Gelfond, Chief Executive Officer of IMAX Corporation. "We also made strides in the quarter with respect to key 2014 initiatives, including expanding the network, developing our world-class laser projection system and testing new marketing strategies, which we believe will help further position us to take full advantage of the potentially very strong film slates in 2015 and 2016."

**Network Growth Update**

The total IMAX® theater network consisted of 868 systems as of June 30, 2014, of which 735 were in commercial multiplexes. There were 419 theaters in backlog as of June 30, 2014, compared to 284 in backlog as of June 30, 2013.  In the second quarter of 2014, the Company signed contracts for 24 theaters, of which 20 were for new locations and 4 were for upgrades.  In the quarter, the Company installed 34 IMAXtheater systems, 30 of which were for new theater locations and 12 of which were installed in China.  For a breakdown of theater system signings, installations, network and backlog by type, please see the end of this press release.

"The IMAXnetwork has grown significantly in Chinaover the past several years, from just 9 theaters in 2008 to over 160 today, and just this week we announced another deal for 19 theaters in Chinawith Shanghai Film Company," Gelfond continued.  "Couple this with stellar box office performances from films such as _Transformers 4_, which has become our biggest grossing film ever in China, and I believe it is clear how strong our business and brand have become in China.  It is with this in mind that we announced earlier in the quarter the strategic investment by two Chinese investors for 20% of our IMAX China business, which we believe can help us further grow that business and unlock significant value for our IMAXshareholders."

**_Non-GAAP Financial Measures:_**

  

In this release, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share as supplemental measures of performance of the Company, which are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company presents adjusted EBITDA attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share because it believes that they are important supplemental measures of its comparable controllable operating performance and it wants to ensure that its investors fully understand the impact of its variable share-based compensation, provision for arbitration award and deferred taxes on its net income. Management uses these measures to review operating performance on a comparable basis from period to period. However, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Common Shareholders, adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders per diluted share should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

  

The Credit Facility provides that the Company will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.1:1. The Company will also be required to maintain minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $90.0 million on December 31, 2014, which requirement increases to $100.0 million on December 31, 2015. The Company must also maintain a Maximum Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.00:1 on December 31, 2014, which requirement decreases to 1.75:1 on December 31, 2015. The ratio of total debt to EBITDA was nil:1 as at June 30, 2014, where Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is the sum of all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments and was $nil. EBITDA is calculated as follows:

**_Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Per Share Calculations – Quarter Ended June 30, 2014 vs. 2013:_**

The Company reported net income attributable to Common Shareholders of $13.3 million or $0.19 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $11.8 million or $0.18 per basic share and $0.17 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013. Net income attributable to Common Shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 includes a $4.7 million charge, or $0.07 per diluted share, for stock-based compensation (2013 - $3.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share). Adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders, which consists of net income attributable to Common Shareholders excluding stock-based compensation expense and the related tax impact, was $17.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, as compared to adjusted net income attributable to Common Shareholders of $15.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013.

**_Free Cash Flow:_**

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities minus cash used in investing activities (from the consolidated statements of cash flows). Cash provided by operating activities consist of net income, plus depreciation and amortization, plus the change in deferred income taxes, plus other non-cash items, plus changes in working capital, less investment in film assets, plus other changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures, acquisitions and other cash used in investing activities. Management views free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as a measure of the Company's after-tax cash flow available to reduce debt, add to cash balances, and fund other financing activities. A reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is presented in the table below:
