AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) reported first-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations, posting adjusted earnings per share of -$0.18 compared to the consensus estimate of -$0.25.

Revenue for the quarter reached $1.29 billion, surpassing analyst projections of $1.27 billion.

The company did not provide forward guidance in its earnings release.

Separately, AMC announced a significant refinancing initiative. Its subsidiary, Muvico, LLC, launched an offering of $1.73 billion in first lien notes due in 2031. In addition, the company expects to enter into a new $750 million term loan facility.

Proceeds from these transactions, along with cash on hand, are intended to redeem $400 million of 12.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 issued by its Odeon subsidiary, refinance the existing term loan facility in full, and cover related fees and expenses.

The redemption of the Odeon Notes is contingent upon completing debt financing transactions that generate at least $2.48 billion in aggregate gross proceeds. AMC cautioned that there can be no assurance regarding the timing or completion of the financing transactions.
