Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

A copy of the earnings release is furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures for the periods set forth therein, including adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share is diluted earnings per share excluding loss on debt extinguishment, net of related tax effects, and gain on sale of Fandango interest, net of related tax effects.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to this non-GAAP financial measure is earnings per diluted share, which is set forth in the earnings release and below for the relevant periods set forth in the earnings release.  Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, gain on sale of Fandango interest, gain/loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets, share-based compensation expense, joint venture employee compensation and depreciation and amortization, loss on debt extinguishment and minority interest and other, net.  The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to this non-GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities, which is set forth in the earnings release and below for the relevant periods set forth in the earnings release.
