Q4 revenue decreased 5.1% to $86.3 million compared to $90.9 million in Q4 2023, primarily due to an unfavorable slate and comparison to prior year's Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour performance.

For full-year 2024, total revenue decreased 7.3% to $240.8 million, mainly impacted by reduced attendance due to movie slate disruptions from 2023's writer and actor strikes.

Looking ahead to Q1 2025, NCM expects revenue between $34.0-36.0 million and Adjusted OIBDA ranging from negative $9.5-7.5 million, citing lower expected impressions and delayed advertising spend. However, the company remains optimistic about H1 2025 due to strong Q2 sales pacing.
