Cinemark Holdings (NYSE;CNK) reported fourth-quarter 2025 net income attributable to the company of $34.1 million, or 16 cents per diluted share, compared with a net loss in the year-ago period.
The results fell short of the average analyst estimate of 24 cents per share compiled by Zacks Investment Research, reflecting higher-than-expected operating costs and promotional activity in a competitive entertainment landscape.
Revenue for the quarter rose to $776.3 million, surpassing the consensus forecast of $769.9 million from seven analysts surveyed by Zacks.
The top-line beat was driven by solid domestic attendance trends, continued growth in premium large-format screens, and strength in food and beverage sales per patron, partially offset by softer international performance in certain markets.
For the full year 2025, Cinemark reported net income of $138.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, marking a significant improvement from prior-year losses as the industry continued its post-pandemic recovery.
Annual revenue reached $3.12 billion, reflecting higher overall attendance, elevated ticket pricing, and robust concessions revenue.
