NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating the value of its unique global entertainment platform and broad content portfolio.
“IMAX continues to build on the momentum of its record-breaking 2025 and further establish itself as the premier global platform for blockbuster entertainment. As we enter one of the most productive periods of the moviegoing year with among the most promising slates we’ve seen, we look forward to delivering a record $1.4 billion in global box office for the full year and driving network expansion worldwide,” said Natasha Fernandes, Chief Financial Officer, IMAX Corporation.
“The breakout success of Project Hail Mary – a Filmed For IMAX release that more than doubled our initial box office projections – demonstrates what a well-crafted blockbuster can achieve when it leans fully into the IMAX platform. We have several tentpoles this year from the most successful filmmakers in Hollywood that will do just that. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three broke new ground in selling out IMAX auditoriums up to a year in advance of their releases; Jon Favreau is leveraging IMAX technology in entirely new ways with The Mandalorian and Grogu; and Greta Gerwig will release Narnia with a pioneering IMAX exclusive run.”
“We continue to capitalize on our box office success – and renewed optimism among exhibitors given the industry’s strong start to 2026 – to further grow and diversify our global network. Our continued momentum in Australia – where we just signed our largest agreement ever for 10 new locations – and Japan with 7 signings year to date underscores the success we’re having across our priority growth markets.”
IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond added, “My recovery from pneumonia is progressing well. I have been discharged from the hospital and will continue to focus on my health in the coming weeks. I want to thank my doctors, my family, the team at IMAX, and everyone for their support. As I transition back from medical leave, I am gradually re-engaging in the business and involved in all strategic decisions at IMAX. The management team is doing an outstanding job and will continue with their day-to-day responsibilities. We have an exciting summer ahead, and the rest of the year promises to be exceptional. I look forward to engaging with all of you soon.

Content Solutions Segment
- First quarter Content Solutions revenues and gross margin decreased 8% to $31 million and 22% to $18 million year-over-year, respectively, driven by lower box office in China partially offset by strong growth of 67% outside of Greater China. Greater China’s box office was impacted by the combination of the record Chinese New Year in the 2025 comparative period and with the shift of two larger Chinese local language titles now expected later in 2026.
- First quarter global box office of $260 million decreased 13% year-over-year driven by lower box office from Chinese New Year films compared to the first quarter of 2025 when Ne Zha 2 grossed a record $161 million. Top grossing first quarter titles included Avatar: Fire and Ash ($77 million), Project Hail Mary ($66 million), and Pegasus 3 ($34 million).
Technology Products and Services Segment
- First quarter Technology Products and Services revenues and gross margin decreased 4% to $48 million and 8% to $27 million year-over-year, respectively, driven by lower Greater China box office related rental revenues.
- During the first quarter of 2026, the Company installed 19 systems compared to 21 systems in the first quarter of 2025. Of the 2026 installs, 8 systems were under sales arrangements, compared to 14 in the prior year.
- Commercial network growth continued with the number of IMAX locations reaching 1,798 systems as of March 31, 2026 compared to 1,738 systems as of March 31, 2025. The Company ended Q1 2026 with a backlog of 435 IMAX systems.
Operating Cash Flow and Liquidity
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net cash provided of $7 million in the prior year period driven by higher lease incentives provided to exhibitor customers of $9 million in 2026 compared to $1 million in 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s available liquidity was $528 million. The Company’s liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $146 million, $326 million in available borrowing capacity under the Company’s credit facility, and $56 million in available borrowing capacity under IMAX China’s revolving facilities. Total debt, excluding deferred financing costs, was $300 million as of March 31, 2026.
In 2025, the Company issued $250 million of 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (“2030 Convertible Notes”). In connection with the pricing of the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with an initial cap price of $57.10 per share of the Company’s common shares.
Share Count and Capital Return
The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2026 were 54.1 million and 56.4 million, respectively, compared to 53.1 million and 55.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.
During the first quarter, the Company did not repurchase any common shares.
In June 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an extension of its share repurchase program through June 30, 2027 and an increase of approximately $100.0 million in the Company’s share repurchase program.
