The company also reported an increase in total assets to $847.6 million from $814.7 million. However, borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased significantly to $46.2 million from $22.9 million.
Strategically, IMAX continues to expand its global footprint, operating 1,788 IMAX systems across 89 countries, an increase from 1,731 systems a year earlier. The company is also focused on enhancing its technology offerings, including new IMAX film cameras and streaming technology. Despite the challenges faced, IMAX remains committed to its growth strategy, particularly in international markets, where 76% of its systems are located.
Overall, IMAX's financial performance reflects the ongoing challenges in the film industry, but the company is actively pursuing opportunities for growth and innovation.
