Second Quarter Company Headlines
•Regal Bankruptcy Resolution - As previously announced, the Company entered into a comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal anchored by a new master lease for 41 of the 57 properties previously leased to Regal.
•Solid Deferral Collections - During the second quarter of 2023, the Company collected $7.3 million of deferred rent from cash basis customers that was booked as additional revenue and $0.5 million of deferred rent from accrual basis customers that reduced receivables. Through June 30, 2023, the Company has collected approximately $135.0 million of rent and interest that had been deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Strong Liquidity Position - As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of $99.7 million, no borrowings on its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a consolidated debt profile that is all at fixed interest rates with no maturities until 2024.
•Santikos Acquires Southern Theatres – On July 17, 2023, Santikos Theaters, LLC (“Santikos”) acquired VSS-Southern Theatres (“Southern”) through an asset purchase agreement. The combined Santikos entity operates 27 highly amenitized theaters in eight southeastern states. The Company has investments in 10 Southern properties and there were no structural changes to existing lease terms. In conjunction with the transaction, Southern paid in full its remaining deferred rent of $11.6 million, which will be recognized as rental revenue in the third quarter of 2023.
•Introduces 2023 Earnings Guidance - The Company is providing FFOAA per diluted common share guidance for 2023 of $5.05 to $5.15, representing an increase of 9% at the midpoint versus 2022 performance. Additionally, the Company is confirming 2023 investment spending guidance of a range of $200.0 million to $300.0 million.
“During the quarter, we reached a meaningful milestone as we entered into a restructuring agreement with Regal, providing us with a significantly stronger tenant credit, a long-term master lease and a percentage rent component allowing us to participate in the recovery of the box office.
With this resolution, we also have more visibility into our earnings outlook, and we are pleased to provide earnings guidance for 2023,” stated Company President and CEO Greg Silvers. “With the recent record-setting performance of Barbie and Oppenheimer, consumers continue to demonstrate the relevance and economic vitality of the exhibition industry. Additionally, Santikos' acquisition of Southern demonstrates that capital is again flowing to the sector, and as a result, we received full payment of our remaining deferred rent and have a stronger positioned tenant. Having completed approximately $100 million of investments this year, we are selectively growing our experiential portfolio while being prudent in our capital allocation, as we have committed to approximately $224 million of additional experiential development and redevelopment projects over the next two years without the need to raise additional capital. We have continued to enhance our financial flexibility with a priority on maintaining our strong liquidity position and leverage profile.”
Regal Bankruptcy Resolution
On September 7, 2022, Cineworld Group, plc, Regal Entertainment Group and the Company's other Regal theatre tenants (collectively, “Regal”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”). Regal leased 57 theatres from the Company pursuant to two master leases and 28 single property leases (the “Regal Leases”). As a result of the filing, Regal did not pay its rent or monthly deferral payment for September 2022 but subsequently paid portions of this amount pursuant to an order of the bankruptcy court. Regal resumed payment of rent and deferral payments for all Regal Leases commencing in October 2022 and has continued making these payments through July 2023. Regal's plan of reorganization became effective on July 31, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), and Regal emerged from the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases.
On June 28, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal anchored by a new master lease ("Master Lease") for 41 of the 57 properties previously leased to Regal ("Master Lease Properties"), which became effective on the Effective Date. The Master Lease is a triple-net lease with $65.0 million in total annual fixed rent payable beginning on August 1, 2023 that escalates by 10% every five years. The Master Lease has three tranches of properties. The initial terms of the tranches are staggered, expiring on the 11th, 13th and 15th anniversaries from the Effective Date. Additionally, the Master Lease provides for a guaranty from a parent entity of Regal and percentage rents based on gross sales of the Master Lease Properties. Due to Regal's expected significantly improved credit profile, continuing box office recovery and Regal's payment history, among other factors, the Company will recognize revenue related to the Master Lease on an accrual basis beginning on the Effective Date.
Additionally, as part of the comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal, Regal surrendered to the Company the remaining 16 properties not included in the Master Lease on the Effective Date. The Company has entered into management agreements whereby Cinemark will manage four and Phoenix Theatres will manage one of the surrendered properties. The Company plans to sell the remaining 11 surrendered properties and deploy the proceeds to acquire non-theatre experiential properties. In conjunction with taking back the surrendered properties, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge in the second quarter of $42.4 million based on recently appraised values.
For more details on the Master Lease and comprehensive restructuring agreement between the Company and Regal, see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Solid Deferral Collections
In addition to regular quarterly collections, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company collected $7.3 million of deferred rent from cash basis customers that was booked as additional revenue and $0.5 million of deferred rent from accrual basis customers that reduced receivables, leaving only $1.0 million of deferred rent receivable remaining on the balance sheet at June 30, 2023. Through June 30, 2023, the Company has collected approximately $135.0 million of rent and interest that had been deferred as a result of the pandemic.
Strong Liquidity Position
The Company remains focused on maintaining strong liquidity and financial flexibility. The Company had $99.7 million of cash on hand at quarter-end, no borrowings on its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a consolidated debt profile that is all at fixed interest rates with no maturities in 2023 and only $136.6 million due in 2024.
Santikos Acquisition of Southern Theatres
On July 17, 2023, Santikos acquired Southern through an asset purchase agreement. The combined Santikos entity operates 27 highly amenitized theaters in eight southeastern states. The Company has investments in 10 Southern properties in six states and there were no structural changes to existing lease terms. Santikos had investments in 10 theaters located in the San Antonio area prior to the transaction and purchased a total of 17 theaters in eight states from Southern, making Santikos the eighth largest theater circuit in North America. Santikos is owned by The San Antonio Area Foundation, one of the nation’s premier Community Foundations. In conjunction with the transaction, Southern paid in full its remaining deferred rent of $11.6 million, which will be recognized as rental revenue in the third quarter of 2023.

The Company's investment spending during the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $32.2 million, bringing the total investment spending for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $98.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds From Operations (FFO), Funds From Operations As Adjusted (FFOAA) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, the Company calculates FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from disposition of real estate and impairment losses on real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company has calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition.
In addition to FFO, the Company presents FFOAA and AFFO. FFOAA is presented by adding to FFO severance expense, transaction costs, credit loss (benefit) expense, costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, preferred share redemption costs and impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets and subtracting sale participation income, gain on insurance recovery and deferred income tax (benefit) expense. AFFO is presented by adding to FFOAA non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, share-based compensation expense to management and Trustees and amortization of above and below market leases, net and tenant allowances; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures (including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-lined rental revenue (removing the impact of straight-lined ground sublease expense), and the non-cash portion of mortgage and other financing income.
FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are widely used measures of the operating performance of real estate companies and are provided here as supplemental measures to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share, and management provides FFO, FFOAA and AFFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and are not to be considered alternatives to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, FFOAA and AFFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.
The following table summarizes FFO, FFOAA and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and reconciles such measures to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO, FFOAA and AFFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. Therefore, the additional common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO, FFOAA and AFFO per share for those periods.
Net Debt
Net Debt represents debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude deferred financing costs, net and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding deferred financing costs, net, and reducing debt for cash and cash equivalents on hand, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. The Company believes this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition. The Company's method of calculating Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Gross Assets
Gross Assets represents total assets (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude accumulated depreciation and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding accumulated depreciation and reducing cash and cash equivalents, the result provides an estimate of the investment made by the Company. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of this calculation in a similar manner. The Company's method of calculating Gross Assets may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio
Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate capital structure and the magnitude of debt to gross assets. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. The Company's method of calculating the Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
EBITDAre
NAREIT developed EBITDAre as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of REITs, independent of a company's capital structure, to provide a uniform basis to measure the enterprise value of a company. Pursuant to the definition of EBITDAre by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, the Company calculates EBITDAre as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest expense (net), income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from disposition of real estate, impairment losses on real estate, costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates.
Management provides EBITDAre herein because it believes this information is useful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. The Company's method of calculating EBITDAre may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. EBITDAre is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDAre
Management uses Adjusted EBITDAre in its analysis of the performance of the business and operations of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors because it excludes various items that management believes are not indicative of operating performance, and because it is an informative measure to use in computing various financial ratios to evaluate the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre (defined above) for the quarter excluding sale participation income, gain on insurance recovery, severance expense, transaction costs, credit loss (benefit) expense, impairment losses on operating lease right-of-use assets and prepayment fees.
The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDAre may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Adjusted EBITDAre is
not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate our capital structure and the magnitude of our debt against our operating performance. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions use versions of this ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. The Company's method of calculating the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Reconciliations of debt, total assets and net income (all reported in accordance with GAAP) to Net Debt, Gross Assets, Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure), as applicable, are included in the following tables (unaudited, in thousands except ratios):
Total Investments
Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as the sum of the carrying values of real estate investments (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets, gross (before accumulated amortization and included in other assets) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net (included in other assets). Total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across which asset categories the Company's funds have been invested. Our method of calculating total investments may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of total assets (computed in accordance with GAAP) to total investments is included in the following table (unaudited, in thousands):
