We appreciate you joining us for our 2016 first quarter results call. We are pleased to announce record Q1 results, including a 19.6% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $184.6 million. It was also another record setting first quarter for the North America industry's box office as well as for Cinemark. The holdover of Star Wars and The Revenant proved to be significant contributors and new release titles including Deadpool, Zootopia and Batman v Superman, each demonstrated that high quality commercial – commercial films can achieve blockbuster level success even when released outside the summer and holiday seasons. The North America industry's first quarter box office increased…

And your first question comes from David Miller from Topeka.

David W. Miller - Topeka Capital Markets

Analyst

Yeah. Hey guys. Fantastic results. Congratulations. Sean, just a couple questions. First of all, what was the free cash flow number in the quarter? I just don't see it in the press release. I apologize if you mentioned it in your prepared remarks. And then with regard to what's going on in Latin America, obviously, it's been proven over the last couple of quarters that sort of the near depressionary state-of-the-economy down there, is it really affecting your income statement? People are obviously still going to the movies, as they did here in 2009, when we were in the middle of a very tough recession. But how is it affecting just new builds, acquisitions, terminal values, if you do decide to expand down in Latin America via acquisition. Our terminal values the same as they always have been. Any difference down there with regard to acquiring new circuits and new builds? Appreciate it. Thanks. Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: Sure. Well, your first question on free cash flow, our free cash flow for the first quarter was positive $20 million. With regard to the international landscape and kind of future growth and development, we're watchful of how the economy and political environment may ultimately impact new builds as well as acquisitions. So far, we haven't seen a dramatic impact on that. As we noted, we're continuing to expand our circuit, building new theaters and picking up screens here and there. Last year, again, we managed to achieve our 100 screen internal target that we'd missed in prior years. So we looked at that as a good sign, despite everything going on. With regard to acquisitions, I think some of that's to be determined still. I mean a lot of the attractive acquisitions in the region are owned by very wealthy families, so they're not necessarily in a distressed position where they have to sell. So, I think some of that's just going to continue to be opportunistic similar to somewhat we see in the U.S. these days in terms of when and if they look to exit their circuits and how they choose to go about that. So, I think it's hard to predict what kind of values to expect. Obviously for us, we would look for the same type of investment returns that we look to for all our investments with regards to acquisitions. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: David, I might just add that we're also continuing to look for opportunities outside of just the major cities and we're looking in cities with population bases of 0.25 million people, where we might have the opportunity to go in and be the only exhibitor in that particular town or city. And some of that is – obviously, most of that is mall development based, but we're continuing to see those opportunities for this year and next.

And your next question comes from Eric Wold with B. Riley. Eric Wold - B. Riley & Co. LLC: Thanks. Good morning. A couple of questions. One just a quick follow-up on the last one on development in Latin America. I know you talked about at the Investor Day at CinemaCon that you are kind of watching this kind of more longer term, not so much this year or next year, but kind of 2018, 2019. If there is a risk to development is what's going on there? Is it going to impact all development in your opinion or really just kind of the stuff on the fringes, companies that may not be as well capitalized as other, kind of just trying to gauge the level of risk on development over kind of pass next two years. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Eric, I think one of the things it's important to remember and I do think we might have talked about this at CinemaCon as well is we're very diversified in Latin America, we're operating in 14 countries. So, the headlines right now are coming out of Argentina and Brazil, and we obviously have a pretty good look at 2016 and 2017. It gets harder when you're looking out to 2018 and 2019. But we're continuing to be confident in the region, because regardless of when Argentina and Brazil turnaround and come back and they will, it's just a matter of time and that's difficult for anyone, the economist or us to know exactly when that turn's going to happen. We're also operating in 12 other countries, which are doing much better than either one of those two right now. So, when you add all that together and you look just at what probably is the…

Thanks for taking my question. Mark, I wondered if you could talk about some of the competitive dynamics that are going on now in terms of how you're thinking about your recliner initiative versus competitive forces coming in to markets where you have multiple theaters in a market and they're doing luxury recliner re-seats. And how are you sort of balancing where you want to go versus where competition is going? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Well, we obviously look at the marketplace and say, have other people reclined, how far away are those theaters from us, what's the competitive zone look like. Clearly, it's to our advantage to enter marketplaces with recliners where we're the first in the market. But that doesn't mean that it can't also be very acceptable to our investment hurdles to enter the market if we're the second or third into the market. So, it really depends specifically on that market and we'll go back and we'll look at the demographics, we'll look at our history, we'll look at the admission growth, and we'll make a determination on whether or not to enter that marketplace or not. I think Sean has been very, very diligent in keeping us in line relative to these investment hurdles, and we're going to continue to do so. We look and say, what kind of effect will re-seating have on our existing theaters in the marketplace, and potentially the marketplace as a whole. And then, we try to make estimates on what the growth in the marketplace will be. Thus far, we're very, very happy with the results, and we are going to continue to be diligent in looking at that analysis.

Okay. And then, as a follow-up for Sean, you said CapEx for the quarter was $48 million, which is considerably lower than what you did in last year's first quarter. Was there some timing issues associated with that? And how should we think about the pacing of CapEx throughout the rest of the year. Specifically, is third quarter with the Olympics going to impact anything in Brazil or what can you give us there? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Well, one of the biggest drivers for last year was, we purchased our headquarters building, which was around $26 million in the quarter, for first quarter of last year, so that was a big variance. I would say also timing wise, we expect a bit of a ramp-up in CapEx over the next couple of quarters. So, first quarter relative to what we'll see, the rest of this year was perhaps a bit low. But, the biggest driver is going to be the building purchase of last year.

And your next question comes from Chad Beynon from Macquarie Research.

Chad Beynon - Macquarie Research

Analyst

Hi, guys. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Firstly, from a margin standpoint and flow-through standpoint, particularly in the U.S., you were able to manage some of the expense line items, I think, a lot better than what most of us had expected. And kind of what we saw from some of your peers in the quarter, your flow through was pretty impressive. Is there any reason why some of these expense line items could tick-up? Was there anything there with timing, anything that we need to be aware from an inflationary standpoint that would start to come through throughout the remainder of 2016? Thanks. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: I don't anticipate any – let's start with domestic. I don't anticipate any significant changes. We continue like everybody in our space to be challenged by minimum wage increases and things of that sort. And as everyone else I'm sure is doing too, we're looking for ways to offset that, whether it'd be through price or productivity actions. So I expect those types of pressures will continue to be there. Internationally, similarly, we operate in some high inflationary environments, but there we are generally able to increase our prices in line with inflation. So I think a big factor is going to be just box office and how well we're able to gain leverage over our fixed costs based on the continued strength of the box office over the course of the year. So the short answer is no, I don't expect any big changes, in terms of kind of our core operating costs on a go-forward basis.

Chad Beynon - Macquarie Research

Analyst

Okay. Thanks. And then, with respect to the tuck-in acquisition that you announced, was this really done just because of the multiple that you were able to pay the region that you like, maybe some opportunities to improve operations? Could you help us think about why this was done, how it was done and if there are maybe some more opportunities in the U.S. where you could do the same? Thanks. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Well, first, it was obviously a price that was attractive to us, but even more important than the price was the quality of theaters. We went obviously down, visited theaters a couple of times, took a crew down with us. Two of the theaters had already been reclined, they offered a significant amount of enhanced food, and a variety of beer and wine and a bar that was already established. The three cinemas were a key in their marketplace, good market share, very well thought of. So it was the quality of theaters that first and foremost attracted us. And secondly, it was a price that we felt, like, was attractive, and positive to us from an accretive standpoint. So, I think your last question was does it – are we going to continue? Absolutely. We're literally looking for potential acquisitions all the time. Key is exactly what I said, the quality of the theater and the associated price along with it.

And your next question comes from Robert Fishman from MoffettNathanson.

Robert Fishman - MoffettNathanson

Analyst

Good morning. I got one for Mark and one for Sean, if I can. Mark, one of the big focuses at CinemaCon during (36:41) presentation, was on the younger moviegoers. And one of your peers created some press recently by discussing the possibility of allowing texting in the theater, but due to negative feedback, ultimately reversed his thinking. So, I'm just wondering, are there initiatives under your control that you plan on focusing to keep the younger moviegoers coming back to your theaters, or does it really just come down to the content on the screen? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Well, there's no question, content on the screen is the number one driver. In terms of initiative, I would say that our whole Connections loyalty program is probably one of the single biggest initiatives that way because this is completely apps based. It is not your traditional loyalty program with a card and get free movie and get a free popcorn, a lot of the rewards here, yes, they do have those rewards, but their experiential base that millennials are going to be interested in. So the whole idea behind connections was to create a loyalty program for the younger skewing demographic. Secondarily, we are very much on the front edge of e-gaming in our theaters. Super League Gaming, we're hosting in dozens of our theaters and we're testing that concept with them and we're very, very bullish on the idea of that. The e-gaming, Super League Gaming basically is a league, it's almost like a sports league, only it happens to be doing video games with one team playing against other teams and those can be not only in one city, but they can be playing against leagues in cities across the country. So we're very, very aggressive at relative to doing that and working extremely closely with the Super League Gaming people.

Robert Fishman - MoffettNathanson

Okay. Thank you. That's helpful color. Sean, Latin America surprised us in part, you called that in your press release to the local – strong local content. Can you help us think about if the better local content leads to even better margin expansion than a comparable similar quarter, with the attendance growth coming from Hollywood content? And should we expect any of the local content strength to continue for the rest of the year? Thank you. Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: It's one of the things we like about Latin America, operating in Latin America is you can get these local surprises that kind of come without expectation, I think that's certainly the case in the first quarter. So, I think it's hard to predict what may be a big hit looking forward, but we're certainly hopeful that there could be some additional local surprises. And with regard to just general margin expansion, the film rental rates, I'd say, kind of are generally in line in local content with the Hollywood content. Actually in the case of one of the big local hits in Brazil, The Ten Commandments, it actually has a slight drag on margin rate. The attendance obviously is a big plus. But that particular film didn't have a lot of premium content. It had lower concessions, consumption rate. So, that particular film was, I'd say a, lower margin based film aside from the attendance that it drove. So, it kind of varies based on what type of film it is, but I would say, if anything it may be a slight drag in terms of the premium aspect, but it can be a help from just the overall leverage on fixed costs. So, probably a net comparable game to Hollywood from a margin point of view net-net.

And your next question comes from Barton Crockett from FBR. Barton Crockett - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Okay. Thanks for taking the question. The new CEO at AMC has been very kind of bullish, optimistic about the opportunity for the theater industry, around membership loyalty programs; arguing that at least in the case of AMC, they are underperforming other industries you've come from other industries, do you think there is an opportunity to drive better penetration and a better return from your audience engagement, potentially? So, I was wondering, do you see that same type of opportunity at Cinemark? Do you see what I'm talking about, or do you see it somewhat differently? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Well, I can't really get into Adam's head, so let me just talk for Cinemark's perspective. We've been working on Connections for well over a year. We've had very successful loyalty programs in a number of our Latin America markets. And the idea of setting up connections over a year ago and pushing it as a modern apps-based young skewing loyalty program was very strategic. And so, we expect a good steady growth of this. It doesn't happen overnight. We've now been launched for about 33 days, and so, we'll look forward in our next call and our call after that to start talking about results and numbers and telling you how we're doing. But this is strategic for us, and it has been for a year. And we recognize the importance of loyalty programs and we tried to gear ours towards that millennial mindset of everything is mobile-apps based. Barton Crockett - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Okay. That's helpful. And then just a separate question. We do have the Olympics coming up down there in Brazil, and I was wondering if you could give us a sense of what the impact is on the movie release schedule? There are few weeks that are kind of clear our way for the Olympics or does it really have no impact? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: It's going to have minimal impact. We saw that even our last summer with the World Cup. So the studios look at it slightly, but we really don't see it making any major impact, relative to release schedules or the business during that quarter. Barton Crockett - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Okay. That's great. Thank you.

Your next question comes from Ben Mogil from Stifel. Benjamin Mogil - Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc.: Hi. Good morning, and thanks for taking my question. So I wanted to ask sort of a broader question. You've got AMC going one way on in-home participation, if you will, not just on Screening Room, but obviously on the Paramount VOD experiments of last summer. You and Regal have gone obviously a different road. Any concern – and just sort of looking at how the music industry evolves and arguably even video as well, but technology was kind of moving in one direction and if you didn't sort of – I mean get with it, but sort of somehow participated in the discussions, it was kind of go towards some end game anyhow. But you have less of a participation role by not being part of it earlier on. Maybe you can sort of talk about, sort of how you balance out, having watched as I'm sure much more closely than any of us, how have some of the other businesses have evolved with technology and how those that didn't sort of participate early on, didn't have a seat at the table with obviously wanting to protect your core business? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: I can't speak to when AMC or Regal first spoke to Screening Room. I know that we spoke to Screening Room very, very early in the process. We analyzed it, we looked at it, had multiple conversations both in person and over the phone with these people. And as we analyzed it, it didn't seem to be a good economic decision for Cinemark to move forward and to support. And so that's the way we went. It wasn't a matter of not having a…

Alexia S. Quadrani - JPMorgan Securities LLC

Thank you. Can you give us a sense of, I guess, how much more room you think you have to grow ticket pricing this year with a potential difficult comp from a higher share premium format box office from last year, perhaps offset by the higher pricing for any reposition theaters? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Pricing is something that we pay particular attention to. Like we did in 2015, we will look for opportunities to increase price where we think we can do so without impacting attendance. And again, we did that last year. When we were approaching this year and just kind of looking at the perceived relative strength of the 2016 box office, it's something where we have that on the mind. We have not so far taken significant price increases in any of our recliner theaters; it's something that we are contemplating, as we look at the demand for those theaters. So there is some potential there. We have not yet implemented any type of tax on top concept, which some of our other peers have. It's something that we're evaluating. So there may be some opportunity there, something we'll be very prudent about. But again, our underlying philosophy domestically has been to ideally kind of slightly trail inflation over the long haul, but look for momentary opportunities, really driven by strength of content to boost prices or strength of demand in the marketplace. So, I guess, I'd say, I think there are some pockets of opportunity, but we are just going to be careful as we kind of go forward and do that because we don't want to impact attendance, when all is said and done.

And then, looking at the impressive sort of concessions per cap that you've been showing, any commentary I guess how we should think about that going forward, particularly in the upcoming quarter, given this queue of films that may influence it? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: We remain bullish on our ability to continue to drive per caps in food and beverage. We see it with the variety of offerings that we have. We see it in the layout of our concession stands, and modernizing those. And we also see it – as we continue to roll out recliners, we see increases in food and beverage consumption when the recliners are put in. And part of that, I think, is reserved seating, and it allows the customer to not be under any pressure to get a seat. So, all of those things, I think, are going to continue to help drive our food and beverage in the coming quarters and years.

And your next question comes from Tony Wible from Drexel Hamilton.

Tony Wible - Drexel Hamilton LLC

Analyst

Thanks. How much was the reclassification of expense out of film rental into utilities? And did I hear correctly that you said the local concession per cap was up almost 30%? Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: That is correct on the local concession per cap in constant currency. And the amount of the reclass is about $6 million from film rental and advertising to utilities and other. It's about 2.5% of our overall film rental and advertising expense.

Tony Wible - Drexel Hamilton LLC

Analyst

Got it. And then was there another factor in the international concession per cap because if you have a 25% FX headwind and a 30% you know local CPC as you just mentioned, I guess, I wouldn't expect the number to be down 16% in absolute terms? Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: It really is just the math of foreign exchange and the kind of profile. Some of it's a mix of countries kind of where the strength is driven, but our overall benefit in – I'm sorry, you're talking per cap or overall concession?

Tony Wible - Drexel Hamilton LLC

Analyst

Yes. Per cap. So yeah, the per cap I think was down 15.9% to $1.92 and then you mentioned the local is up 30% and the FX is 25% unless the FX is... Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: No.

Tony Wible - Drexel Hamilton LLC

Analyst

...maybe a little bit different on the concession per cap and you're speaking kind of total company. Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: Yeah. Our per cap in constant currency was up about 11.4%. Our raw concession revenues dollars were up about 30% in constant currency.

Tony Wible - Drexel Hamilton LLC

Analyst

Got it. And I know it goes kind of under the radar, but the U.S. other revenue was pretty strong, anything there and would you expect that to continue? Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: It's really predominantly driven by screen ad increase associated with the attendance. We also had the benefit of some events, promotional events that took place in the quarter connected to Star Wars and some faith-based opportunity. So those are really the key drivers of other revenues.

And your next question comes from Jim Goss from Barrington Research.

James Charles Goss - Barrington Research Associates, Inc.

Analyst

Thanks. First, I'm wondering if you're expecting any competitive difference in the domestic markets past the AMC purchase of Carmike, assuming that takes place. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: What are you referring to, competitive changes?

James Charles Goss - Barrington Research Associates, Inc.

Analyst

Yeah. Are there any ways you think life will be different because I think you do have a number of markets where you probably have some overlap with Carmike? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: No. I don't think there's anything material that's going to change there. Yes, we have some overlap, but it's not that significant. I mean, it's just a matter of having a competitor with Carmike and now we have a competitor that AMC has acquired.

James Charles Goss - Barrington Research Associates, Inc.

Analyst

Okay. So, Mark, I'm also wondering if you could talk about some of the dynamics or some of the drivers that resulted in greater visibility on the domestic release schedule going out two to three years from your current vantage point relative to how you looked at it when you were with Buena Vista. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: I think one of the biggest things that changed in the last several years is the ability from the studios to provide forward-looking tent-pole movies into not only the remainder of this year, but – there was a time when basically release schedules were 12 months out. Now, you have studios literally putting tent-poles down 24 months, 36 months and sometimes even 48 months out because they want to kind of reserve the real estate for that particular release date. So, I think that's probably the biggest change that's taken place, as we look forward. And clearly, those tent-pole movies have become more and more important, and in doing so, studios are spending more both on the production side and the ad-pub side. So it's important for them to put the flag in the ground, and it's for us, it's very advantageous, because it allows better planning, and we can be more transparent as we look forward of what our earnings potential are going to be.

James Charles Goss - Barrington Research Associates, Inc.

Analyst

Okay. So, it does offer potential benefits in terms of deciding how you want to re-seat (53:45) or whatever other strategic changes you want to make. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: Yeah, because we have confidence in the product flow for not only 2016 and 2017, but we've got a pretty good look into 2018 and even 2019. And James Cameron – Jim Cameron, it was really quite interesting at Fox's presentation at CinemaCon, Jim Gianopulos pulled the classic oh and one more thing, and out walks Jim Cameron, and Jim says, Avatar with two movies, just wasn't enough, and I've decided three, and then he goes, and you know what, we laid-out the conference room, and there is just too much material, we are going to do four and he basically announced the next four Avatars. Well, that's incredibly important to us.

James Charles Goss - Barrington Research Associates, Inc.

Analyst

Okay. And finally, you talked about minimum wage before. I was curious, what $15 minimum wage would do to you and how you would be able to react to something like that? Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: These are the types of things that we've experienced over time, both domestically and internationally. I would say we would look to offset that with price over time, where we could. We would continue to look for ways to increase our productivity through more efficient operations where possible. Generally, we like to think that just overall increases in minimum wage also help us from a patronage point of view, because people have increased disposable income and they'll use that to make additional visits to our theaters, so hopefully we'd recapture some of that that way. But those are the types of things we would aim to do. It's like any other cost pressure we might experience, we looked at price and productivity as ways to offset it.

And your next question comes from Leo Kulp from RBC Capital.

Leo Kulp - RBC Capital Markets LLC

Analyst

Hi. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I just had two quick ones. First, your concessions per cap growth was very strong. Going back to that for a second, can you provide a little color around the drivers particularly in Latin America, around the pricing versus core volumes and enhanced menus? And then secondly, in the past, you've mentioned that you would consider international acquisitions outside of Latin America. Do recent changes to tax inversion rules changed that view? Thank you. Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: I'll take the second one. The first question was about concessions. And can we add some more color to what made up the concession increase? I'll do the second question first and let Sean do the first. Relative to our desire to do acquisitions outside of the United States, our first priority is definitely Latin America, because we got such a established footprint throughout Latin America, so going deeper within our existing territories would be priority number one. That does not preclude us from looking at potential opportunities outside of Latin America, especially as it relates to Europe. Relative to what's happened with tax inversion, that's really not a major consideration of ours. I mean the first and foremost, what we would look at on any potential acquisitions outside of the U.S., let's just – wherever that might be, would be the quality of the circuit and the potential return on that particular investment, we would not make an investment driven off of tax benefits. Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: And I apologize. And your first part of your question was that particular to the drivers of our U.S. concession per cap?

Leo Kulp - RBC Capital Markets LLC

Analyst

More about Latin America. Sean Gamble - Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice President: More about Latin America. So, really the drivers for our Latin America per caps are comparable to the U.S. I'd say the bulk of the driver is just strength of volume. A lot of that was connected to some promotional activities we had associated with some of the blockbuster releases in the marketplace. Another big piece is inflation. We continue – in the case of concessions, in the case of internationally, our general approach is to try to slightly exceed inflation. It's little bit of a different tactic than in the U.S., but our aim is to slightly exceed inflation, and we're able to do that internationally. So, we've gotten better conversion with our per caps in volume based on the different initiatives we talked about whether it be more variety promotions, strategic floor designs, but then also a big component is inflation. Probably about half the increases is inflation that you're seeing in our concession per cap growth.

Your next question comes from Anthony Nemoto from Credit Suisse. N. Anthony Nemoto - Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (Broker): Great. Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. I had a question on the recliners. Some of your competitors saw increased sellouts starting this past quarter in the recliner theaters due to reduced capacity. Wondering if there is any evidence of that for Cinemark. And if so, any data on shifts, other days or time slots? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: The answer to that is, yes. In particular, when movies open on opening weekend Friday and Saturday nights, since we've effectively reduced capacity in many of the theaters by as much as 50%, yes, we do see sellouts on a regular – on a particularly regular basis. And that's why, we will be considering and looking at price increases, especially for those high demand time periods, once the recliners have been fully established in the marketplace. N. Anthony Nemoto - Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (Broker): Great. And then, just another quick one on the XD, the positioning of those theaters, I think AMC mentioned that their up and coming proprietary PLF will be marketed as a lower tier versus IMAX. It doesn't seem like XD is being positioned in that manner, but is that – relative to IMAX, it'd be great to get some clarity on the vision of the positioning of XD? Mark Zoradi - Chief Executive Officer & Director: We have some IMAXs in our circuit, and of course, we have a significant dedication to XD. We position XD as a full premium experience from both the visual perspective to seating and the sound. So it is a full premium experience for us. N. Anthony Nemoto - Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (Broker): Got it. Great. And thanks.
