NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. Basis of Presentation

Accounting Principles

IMAX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company” or “IMAX”) prepares financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all necessary adjustments for a fair statement of interim results. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2025 Form 10-K”). The interim results presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain prior period comparatives have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, which includes significant accounting policies adopted by the Company.

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of IMAX together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which have been identified as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs as required by U.S. GAAP.

The Company has interests in ten film production companies, which have been identified as VIEs. The Company is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates five of these entities as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the respective VIE that could potentially be significant. The majority of the assets relating to these production companies are held by the IMAX Original Film Fund (the “Original Film Fund”). The Company does not consolidate the other five film production companies because it does not have the power to direct their activities and it does not have the obligation to absorb the majority of the expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for these entities, which continues to not be material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A change in the value of an equity method investment that is other than temporary is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs were as follows:

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes judgments in applying various accounting policies. The areas of policy judgment are consistent with those reported in Note 2 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K. The significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: (i) the allocation of the transaction price in an IMAX System arrangement to distinct performance obligations; (ii) the amount of variable consideration to be earned on sales of IMAX Systems based on projections of future box office performance and inflation; (iii) expected credit losses on accounts receivable, financing receivables, and variable consideration receivables; (iv) provisions for the write-down of excess and obsolete inventories; (v) the fair values of the reporting units used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (vi) the cash flow projections used in testing the recoverability of long-lived assets such as the system equipment supporting joint revenue sharing arrangements (“JRSAs”); (vii) the economic lives of the system equipment supporting joint revenue sharing arrangements; (viii) the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets; (ix) the ultimate revenue forecasts used to test the recoverability of film assets; (x) the discount rates used to determine the present value of financing receivables, variable consideration and lease liabilities, as well as to determine the fair values of the Company’s reporting units for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill; (xi) pension plan assumptions; (xii) estimates related to the fair value and projected vesting of share-based payment awards; (xiii) the valuation allowance of deferred income tax assets; and (xiv) reserves related to uncertain tax positions.

2. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide a practical expedient that allows entities to assume current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged throughout the reasonable and supportable forecast period when estimating expected credit losses for eligible financial assets, including trade receivables and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification Updates Not Yet Adopted

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 expand disclosures about specific expense categories presented on the face of the income statement and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”). The amendments in ASU 2025-06 clarify and refine the criteria for capitalizing costs related to internal-use software. Under the new guidance, capitalization is permitted when both of the following conditions are met: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Hedge Accounting Improvements

11

Table of Contents
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”). The amendments in ASU 2025-09 more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities for (i) similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, (ii) hedging forecasted interest payment on choose-your-rate debt instruments, (iii) cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (iv) net written options as hedging instruments, and (v) foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument as hedging instrument and hedged item. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities” (“ASU 2025-10”). The amendments in ASU 2025-10 establishes accounting and guidance for a government grant received by an entity. Under the new guidance, a government grant is not recognized until it is probable that an entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received, and recognition guidance is met. A grant related to an asset is recognized on the balance sheet as an entity incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods thereafter. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued FASB accounting standard codification updates. ASUs that are not noted above were assessed and determined to be not applicable or not significant to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2026.

3. Receivables

The ability of the Company to collect its receivables is principally dependent on the viability and solvency of individual theater operators which is significantly influenced by consumer behavior and general economic conditions. Theater operators, or other customers, may experience financial difficulties that could result in them being unable to fulfill their payment obligations to the Company.

In order to mitigate the credit risk associated with the Company’s receivables, management performs an initial credit evaluation prior to entering into an arrangement with a customer and then regularly monitors the credit quality of each customer through an analysis of collections history and aging. This monitoring process includes meetings on at least a monthly basis to identify credit concerns and potential changes in credit quality classification. A customer may improve their credit quality classification once a substantial payment is made on an overdue balance or when the customer has agreed to a payment plan and payments have commenced in accordance with that plan. Changes in credit quality classification are dependent upon management approval. The Company’s internal credit quality classifications are reported in Note 4 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K.

During the period when the accretion of Finance Income is suspended for Financing Receivables, any payments received from a customer are applied against the outstanding balance owed. If payments are sufficient to cover any unreserved receivables, a reversal of the provision is recorded to the extent of the residual cash received. Once the collectability issues are resolved and the customer has returned to being in good standing, the Company will resume recognition of Finance Income.

When a customer’s aging exceeds 90 days, the Company’s policy is to perform an enhanced review to assess collectability of the theater’s past due accounts. The over 90 days past due category may be an indicator of potential impairment as up to 90 days outstanding is considered to be a reasonable time to resolve any issues.

The Company develops an estimate of expected credit losses by class of receivable and customer type through a calculation that utilizes historical loss rates, which are then adjusted for specific receivables that are judged to have a higher-than-normal risk profile after considering management’s internal credit quality classifications. Additional credit loss provisions are also recorded taking into account macro-economic and industry risk factors. The write-off of any billed receivable balance requires the approval of management.

Management’s judgments regarding expected credit losses are based on the facts available to management and involve estimates about the future. As a result, the Company’s judgments and associated estimates of credit losses may ultimately prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be incorrect. The impacts of inflation and rising interest rates may impact future credit losses. The Company will continue to monitor economic trends and conditions and portfolio performance and adjust its allowance for credit loss accordingly.

Accounts Receivable

12

Table of Contents
Accounts receivable principally includes amounts currently due to the Company under IMAX System sale and sales-type lease arrangements, contingent fees owed by theater operators as a result of box office performance, and fees for maintenance services. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due to the Company from movie studios and other content creators principally for digitally remastering films into IMAX formats, as well as for film distribution and post-production services.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for credit losses related to Accounts Receivable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

4. Lease Arrangements

IMAX Corporation as a Lessor

The Company provides IMAX Systems to customers through long-term lease arrangements that for accounting purposes are classified as sales-type leases. Under these arrangements, in exchange for providing the IMAX System, the Company earns fixed upfront and ongoing consideration. Certain arrangements that are legal sales are also classified as sales-type leases as certain clauses within the arrangements limit transfer of title or provide the Company with conditional rights to the system. The customer’s rights under the Company’s sales-type lease arrangements are described in Note 2 of the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K. Under the Company’s sales-type lease arrangements, the customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Company’s lease portfolio terms are typically non-cancellable for 10 to 20 years with renewal provisions from inception. The Company’s sales-type lease arrangements do not contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance and an extended warranty generally after the first year of the lease until the end of the lease term. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the IMAX System commencing on the date specified in the arrangement’s shipping terms and ending on the date the IMAX System is returned to the Company.

The Company also provides IMAX Systems to customers through JRSAs. Under the traditional form of these arrangements, in exchange for providing the IMAX System under a long-term lease, the Company earns rent based on a percentage of contingent box office receipts and, in some cases, concession revenues, rather than a fixed upfront fee or annual minimum payments.

Under certain other JRSAs, known as hybrid arrangements, the customer is responsible for making fixed upfront payments prior to the delivery and installation of the IMAX System.

Under JRSAs, the customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Company’s JRSAs are typically non-cancellable for ten years or longer with renewal provisions. Title to the IMAX System under a JRSA generally does not transfer to the customer. The Company’s JRSAs do not contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance and an extended warranty throughout the term. The customer is responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the IMAX System commencing on the date specified in the arrangement’s shipping terms and ending on the date the IMAX System is returned to the Company.

The following lease payments are expected to be received by the Company for its sales-type leases in each of the remainder of 2026, next four years and thereafter following the September 30, 2026 balance sheet date:

The write-downs during the three months ended September 30, 2026 are primarily due to excess spare parts inventory resulting from evolving service and support requirements for certain IMAX Systems.

Wells Fargo Credit Agreement

The Company is a party to a Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2025 (the “Credit Agreement”), that provides for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.

The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving borrowing capacity of $375.0 million, and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company to further increase its borrowing capacity by the greater of $140.0 million or by the Company’s EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (“Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility”) for the sum of the four most recently ended fiscal quarters, subject to certain conditions, depending on the mix of revolving loans and/or term loans under the incremental facility and subject to conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement requires that the Company does not exceed a maximum Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) of 3.25:1.00, which may be increased under certain circumstances and is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with this requirement as of September 30, 2026 as the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio was 0.00:1.00.

Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (i) Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Term CORRA plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum or (ii) the U.S. base rate or the Canadian prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% per annum, in each case depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio. In no event will Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Term CORRA be less than 0.00% per annum.

2026 Convertible Notes

On March 19, 2021, the Company issued $230.0 million of 0.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2026 Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions to reduce potential dilution in connection with the redemption of the 2026 Convertible Notes.

On November 6, 2025, the Company completed the repurchase of $229.3 million (or 99.7%) of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes in separate, privately negotiated repurchase transactions with a limited number of holders. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, certain holders of the remaining outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes elected to convert 217 notes representing $0.2 million of the outstanding principal. As a result of this election, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million in Interest Expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The liability for the converted bonds was settled on April 1, 2026, along with the remaining unconverted and outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes. Concurrently with this April 1, 2026 transaction, the Company terminated the remaining portion of the associated 2026 capped call transactions.

2030 Convertible Notes

On November 6, 2025, the Company issued $250.0 million of 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes were $243.1 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions, and were used to repurchase $229.3 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes.

The 2030 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 0.750% per annum on the principal of $250.0 million, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2030 Convertible Notes will mature on November 15, 2030, unless they are redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted on an earlier date.

The Company continues to record the Convertible Notes entirely as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other debt issuance costs, with interest expense reflecting the cash coupon plus the amortization of the discounts and capitalized costs.

Federal Economic Development Loan

As of September 30, 2026, the Federal Economic Development Loan (as defined and described in Note 13 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2025 Form 10-K) had a carrying value of $0.5 million, net of unaccreted interest benefit and is recorded within Convertible Notes and Other Borrowings, Net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to fully repay the remainder of the Federal Economic Development Loan by December 31, 2026.

7. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Commitments

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company enters into contractual agreements with third parties that include non-cancelable payment obligations, for which it is liable in future periods. These arrangements can include terms binding the Company to minimum payments and/or penalties if it terminates the agreement for any reason other than an event of default as described by the agreement.

Contingencies and Guarantees

The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to these legal contingencies, as well as potential ranges of probable or reasonably possible losses. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of the amount of any liability recorded or disclosed is reviewed at least quarterly based on a careful analysis of each individual exposure with, in some cases, the assistance of outside legal counsel, taking into account the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, and other pertinent information related to the case. The amount of liabilities recorded or disclosed for these contingencies may change in the future due to changes in management’s judgments resulting from new developments or changes in settlement strategy. Any resulting adjustment to the liabilities recorded by the Company could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such changes in judgment occur. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims, and proceedings as incurred.

In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theatre Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced an arbitration seeking damages before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) with respect to the breach by Electronic Media Limited (“EML”) of its December 2000 agreement with the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against EML’s affiliate, E-City Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (“E-City”). On March 27, 2008, the arbitration panel issued a final award in favor of the Company in the amount of $11.3 million, as well as an additional $2,512 each day in interest from October 1, 2007 until the date the award is paid. In July 2008, E-City commenced a proceeding in Mumbai, India seeking to prevent recognition of the ICC award in India. On March 10, 2017, the Supreme Court of India dismissed E-City’s petition. On March 29, 2017, the Company filed an Execution Application in the Bombay High Court seeking to enforce the ICC award against E-City and several related parties. On December 30, 2025, the Commercial Appellate Division of the Bombay High Court rejected E-City’s objections to enforcement of the arbitration award and recognized the award as a decree of the Court. The E-City parties have appealed this decision to the Supreme Court of India. The Company fully intends to continue pursuing its rights and seeking to enforce the arbitration award. No amounts have been recognized in connection with this matter.

Financial Guarantees

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have provided significant financial guarantees to third parties under the Credit Agreement.

Director and Officer Indemnifications

The Company’s by-laws contain an indemnification of its directors/officers, former directors/officers, and persons who have acted at its request to be a director/officer of an entity in which the Company is a shareholder or creditor, to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act, against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and any amounts actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which the directors and/or officers are sued as a result of their service, if they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors in order to effectuate the foregoing. The nature of the indemnification prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. The Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. No amount has been accrued on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, with respect to this indemnity.

Other Indemnification Agreements

In the normal course of its operations, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in transactions such as: IMAX System lease and sale agreements and the supervision of installation or servicing of IMAX Systems; film production, exhibition and distribution agreements; real property lease agreements; and employment agreements. These indemnification agreements require the Company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of litigation claims that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction or the Company’s breach or non-performance under these agreements. While the terms of these indemnification agreements vary based upon the contract, they normally extend for the life of the agreements. A small number of agreements do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential amount of indemnification; however, virtually all of the IMAX System lease and sale agreements limit such maximum potential liability to the purchase price of the system. The fact that the maximum potential amount of indemnification required by the Company is not specified in some cases prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications and no amounts have been accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities.

10. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $43.3 million (2025 — expense of $5.2 million). The Company’s effective tax rate of (58.7%) for the three months ended September 30, 2026 reflects the release of a valuation allowance related to certain Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets along with the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, and reversals of tax reserves, partially offset by withholding taxes. The Company’s release of the valuation allowance, based on having demonstrated sustained profitability, was $59.0 million and is discussed below. The Company’s effective tax rate of 18.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions and a $2.7 million decrease in the valuation allowance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $37.4 million (2025 — expense of $13.7 million). The Company’s effective tax rate of (36.8%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, is primarily related to the net release of $54.2 million of valuation allowance related to certain Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets and reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, tax benefit from share-based compensation, and reversals of tax reserves, partially offset by withholding taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate of 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflects the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, withholding taxes, a tax benefit related to share-based compensation and a $1.7 million decrease of valuation allowance.

Deferred Tax Assets, Liabilities and Related Valuation Allowance

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included net deferred income tax assets of $60.0 million (December 31, 2025 — $12.6 million). Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including recent operating results, forecasts of future taxable income, and other relevant factors specific to our industry such as the success of new film releases. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company concluded that is more likely than not that certain of its Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company released the related valuation allowance, resulting in an income tax benefit in the period of $59.0 million, of which $36.7 million relates to deferred tax assets expected to be utilized in future years.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets also included deferred tax liabilities of $12.5 million (December 31, 2025 — $12.5 million) primarily related to foreign withholding taxes associated with the remaining balance of non-repatriated historical earnings that will not be indefinitely reinvested outside of Canada.

Canada Revenue Agency Reassessments

As disclosed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company is subject to ongoing tax audits. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) issued Notices of Reassessment to the Company in respect of its 2017 through 2019 taxation years relating primarily to the transactions between the Canadian entity and a Chinese subsidiary in those years. The reassessments would, if successful, increase the Canadian entity’s taxable income by a total of $102 million across those years.

27

Table of Contents
The Company believes CRA’s position to be without merit, and intends to vigorously defend the original filing position by submitting Notices of Objection and pursuing available appeal rights. In addition, should the CRA’s reassessments prevail in whole or in part, the Company would seek relief through the competent authority Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) to avoid double taxation by reducing the income of the Chinese subsidiary and recover taxes paid in China in the same taxation years. Until this matter is resolved, a significant amount of Canadian tax attributes will not be available to reduce taxable income and it is expected that the Company will be required to make Canadian income tax payments that exceed current tax expense.

The Company has evaluated its filing positions under ASC 740 and concluded it has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026, no unrecognized tax benefit has been recorded for these matters. The ultimate outcome is uncertain, and an unfavorable resolution could be material.

IMAX LTIP Performance Stock Units (“PSU”) Summary

The Company grants two types of PSU awards, one which vests based on a combination of employee service and the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA targets and one which vests based on a combination of employee service and the achievement of total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets. The achievement of these targets is assessed over a three-year performance period, with vesting ranging from 0% to 200% of the initial Adjusted EBITDA PSU award or 200% of the initial TSR PSU award, depending upon actual performance.

For the 2026 grants, the grant date fair value for Adjusted EBITDA PSUs is determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the sixty calendar days prior to the date of grant. The grant date fair value for TSR PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo Model, influenced by share price and various assumptions, such as market conditions and expected share price volatility over the term of the awards.

The compensation expense attributable for each type of PSU is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. If, as a result of management’s assessment, it is projected that a greater or lesser number of Adjusted EBITDA PSUs will vest than previously anticipated, a life-to-date adjustment to increase or decrease compensation expense is recorded in the period that such determination is made. The expense recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 includes adjustments reflecting management’s estimate of the number of Adjusted EBITDA PSUs expected to vest.

The following table summarizes the activity in respect of PSUs issued under the IMAX LTIP for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

(2) For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the balance of shares granted includes 46,510 (2025 — 17,375) additional shares, at a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $19.73 (2025 — $22.72), as PSUs granted in 2023 (2025 — granted in 2022) with TSR targets vested at 150% on account of full achievement of the targets (2025 — 123.5% based on actual performance versus the targets).

As of September 30, 2026, the maximum number of common shares that may be issued with respect to PSUs outstanding was 1,764,168, assuming full achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA and TSR targets.

This program will be valid until the 2027 Annual General Meeting of IMAX China. The repurchases may be made in the open market or through other means permitted by applicable laws. IMAX China has no obligation to repurchase its shares and the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued by IMAX China at any time.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, IMAX China did not repurchase any common shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, IMAX China did not repurchase any common shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, IMAX China repurchased 1,495,900 common shares, at an average price of HKD 7.56 per share ($0.96 per share) for a total of HKD 11.3 million ($1.4 million), excluding commission. The change in the non-controlling interest attributable to IMAX China as a result of common shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction to Non-Controlling Interests in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. The difference between the consideration paid and the ownership interest obtained as a result of IMAX China share repurchases is recorded within Other Equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity.

Basic and Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

The following table reconciles the denominator of the basic and diluted weighted average share computations:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted
58,007 55,565 56,897 55,242 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes 677 and 79,530 shares, respectively (2025 — 844,551 and 928,945 shares, respectively) that are issuable upon the vesting or exercise of share-based compensation including: (i) nil and 3,817 RSUs, respectively (2025 — nil RSUs), (ii) 677 and 75,713 PSUs, respectively (2025 — 1,510 and 85,904 PSUs, respectively) and (iii) nil stock options (2025 — 843,041 stock options), as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes any shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes as the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period of time they were outstanding was less than the conversion price of the 2030 Convertible Notes.

31

Table of Contents
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, any shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes were included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding under the if-converted method because the assumed conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes was dilutive, as the average market price of the Company’s common shares exceeded the conversion price and the effect was dilutive. Potential conversion shares are included in diluted earnings per share when dilutive, regardless of whether the market-price conversion condition has been met.

In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into 2030 Capped Call Transactions (as defined and described in Note 13 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K) designed to reduce potential dilution upon conversion and mitigate potential cash payments in excess of the principal amount, subject to a cap. The 2030 Capped Call Transactions are excluded from diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive. Accordingly, diluted weighted average shares outstanding reflect the dilutive effect of the 2030 Convertible Notes without giving effect to the 2030 Capped Call Transactions.

Statutory Surplus Reserve

Pursuant to the corporate law of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), entities registered in the PRC are required to maintain certain statutory reserves, which are appropriated from after-tax profits (after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years), as reported in their respective statutory financial statements, before the declaration or payment of dividends to equity holders. All statutory reserves are created for specific purposes.

The statutory surplus reserve of RMB 37.7 million ($5.8 million) has reached 50% of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ registered capital, and as such, no further contributions to the reserve are required.

Deferred Revenue

IMAX System sale and lease arrangements include a requirement for the Company to provide maintenance services over the life of the arrangement, some of which maintenance services are subject to a consumer price index adjustment each year. In circumstances where customers prepay the entire term’s maintenance fee based on the original arrangement, additional payments are due to the Company for the years after its extended warranty and maintenance obligations expire. Payments, upon renewal each year, are either prepaid or made in arrears and can vary in frequency from monthly to annually. As of September 30, 2026, $19.2 million of consideration has been deferred in relation to outstanding maintenance services to be provided on existing maintenance contracts (December 31, 2025 — $28.3 million).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, $7.6 million and $26.9 million of revenue, respectively, was recognized from the $50.4 million balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $9.6 million and $29.4 million of revenue, respectively, was recognized from the $52.7 million balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024.

13. Segment Reporting

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), as such term is defined under U.S. GAAP. The CODM assesses segment performance based on segment revenues and segment gross margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs, the amortization of intangible assets, provision for (reversal of) current expected credit losses, certain write-downs, interest income, interest expense, and income tax (expense) benefit are not allocated to the Company’s segments.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2025 Form 10-K. Intercompany profit or loss is not included in the evaluation of performance and allocation of resources.

14. Employee’s Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company has an unfunded defined benefit pension plan, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), covering its CEO, Richard L. Gelfond. Under the terms of his employment agreement, as amended, the total benefit payable to Mr. Gelfond under the SERP is fixed at $20.3 million.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s projected benefit obligation under the SERP was $18.0 million (December 31, 2025 — $17.5 million). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded interest costs of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, (2025 — $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively) related to the SERP. The Company expects to recognize additional interest costs of $0.2 million related to the SERP during the remainder of 2026. No contributions are expected to be made to the SERP in 2026.

Postretirement Benefits – Executives

The Company has an unfunded postretirement plan for Mr. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler, former Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Executive Postretirement Benefit Plan”).

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s postretirement benefits obligation under this plan was $0.5 million (December 31, 2025 — $0.5 million). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company has recorded an expense of less than $0.1 million, in each period (2025 — less than $0.1 million, in each period) related to this plan.

Postretirement Benefits – Canadian Employees

The Company has an unfunded postretirement plan for its Canadian employees meeting specific eligibility requirements. The Company will provide eligible participants, upon retirement, with health and welfare benefits. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s postretirement benefits obligation under this plan was $0.9 million (December 31, 2025 — $1.0 million). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company has recorded expense of less than $0.1 million, in each period (2025 — less than $0.1 million, in each period) related to this plan.

Deferred Compensation Benefit Plan

The Company maintained a nonqualified deferred compensation benefit plan (the “Retirement Plan”) covering the former CEO of IMAX Entertainment and Senior Executive Vice President of the Company. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, the benefits were due to vest in full if the executive incurred a separation from service from the Company (as defined therein).

37

Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2026, the benefit obligation related to the Retirement Plan was $4.6 million (December 31, 2025 — $4.4 million) and is recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Accrued and Other Liabilities. As the Retirement Plan is fully vested, the benefit obligation is measured at the present value of the benefits expected to be paid in the future with the accretion of interest recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Retirement Benefits Non-Service Expense.

The Retirement Plan is funded by an investment in company-owned life insurance (“COLI”), which is recorded at its fair value, which equates to its cash surrender value, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid Expenses. As of September 30, 2026, fair value of the COLI asset was $3.9 million (December 31, 2025 — $3.8 million). Gains and losses resulting from changes in the cash surrender value of the COLI asset are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains.

15. Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The Company’s cash is invested with various major financial institutions. The Company’s $207.9 million balance of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 — $151.2 million) included $171.6 million in cash held outside of Canada (December 31, 2025 — $137.4 million), of which $121.8 million was held in the PRC (December 31, 2025 — $97.2 million).

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of the Company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Variable Consideration, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities due within one year approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Including these instruments, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of the following:

(2)Fair value is determined using quoted market prices that are observable in the market or that could be derived from observable market data.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates.

A majority of the Company’s revenues are denominated in U.S. Dollars while a significant portion of its costs and expenses are denominated in Canadian Dollars. A portion of the Company’s net U.S. Dollar cash is converted to Canadian Dollars to fund Canadian Dollar expenses through the spot market. In China and Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations in RMB, HKD and Japanese Yen, respectively. Net cash flows are converted to and from U.S. Dollars through the spot market. The Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in RMB, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars and Euros which are converted to U.S. Dollars through the spot market. In addition, because IMAX films generate box office receipts in 91 different countries, unfavorable exchange rates between applicable local currencies and the U.S. Dollar could have an impact on box-office receipts and the Company’s revenues and results of operations. The Company’s policy is to not use any financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

The Company has entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risks associated with the volatility of foreign currencies. Certain of these foreign currency forward contracts met the criteria required for hedge accounting under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC at inception, and continued to meet hedge effectiveness tests as of September 30, 2026 (the “Foreign Currency Hedges”), with settlement dates throughout 2026, 2027 and 2028. Foreign currency derivatives are recognized and measured on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations except for derivatives designated and qualifying as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments. The Company currently has cash flow hedging instruments associated with Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments related to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, the effective portion of the gain or loss in a hedge of a forecasted transaction is reported in Accumulated Other

Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) and reclassified to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

17. Restructuring Charges and Other Impairments

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company incurred $nil and $2.3 million, respectively (2025 — $nil and $0.8 million, respectively) in Restructuring charges and other impairments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Specifically, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2.0 million (2025 — $nil) on an individual documentary film asset following a reassessment of estimated future revenues. The revised estimates reflects updates to estimated market performance and future monetization of the title.

In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company incurred termination charges of $0.3 million (2025 — $0.8 million) in connection with its plan to optimize its organizational structure, including eliminating redundant roles, addressing spans and layers to capture efficiencies and centralizing certain operational roles.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s liability was $0.4 million (December 31, 2025 — $1.4 million) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Accrued and other liabilities related to Restructuring charges and other impairments.

18. Goodwill

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s total Goodwill was $39.0 million (December 31, 2025 — $45.8 million) of which $39.0 million (December 31, 2025 — $39.0 million) relates to the Technology Products and Services (“TPS”) reporting unit and $nil (December 31, 2025 — $6.8 million) relates to the Streaming and Consumer Technology (“SCT”) reporting unit which is described in Note 20 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2025 Form 10-K.

The Company performed both a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the fair value of the SCT reporting unit as of September 30, 2026, and recognized an impairment charge equal to the carrying amount of the SCT reporting unit’s goodwill of $6.8 million on the statement of operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, with no goodwill remaining within the SCT reporting unit. The Company first evaluated the recoverability of the intangible assets within the SCT reporting unit and concluded no impairment existed as of September 30, 2026. The decline in the fair value of the SCT reporting unit and resulting goodwill impairment charge was due to the Company’s shift in product and service offerings during the third quarter of 2026, and the potential cash flows that these offerings are projected to generate, as well as organizational changes within the quarter. The discounted cash flow method, which estimates fair value based on the present value of future cash flows, required the Company to make various assumptions regarding the timing and amount of these cash flows, including revenue growth rates, projected operating expenditures, the terminal value of the business at the end of the projection period and the underlying discount rate used to determine the net present value of the future cash flows. The Company’s 2026 assessment included assumptions about future cash flows based on its internal forecasts and the revenue growth rates were based on expected trends supported by market growth projections. The terminal value was estimated using a long-term growth rate that closely approximated inflation. The discount rate determined for the reporting unit was based on the risks of achieving the future cash flows, including risks applicable to the industry and market as a whole, as well as the capital structure of comparable entities. For the impairment test of the SCT reporting unit, the Company utilized a discount rate of 20.0% and a revenue growth rate of 5.0% in certain years, which represent the most significant assumptions in the model.

Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex, subjective, and require significant judgment. The analysis is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rates of revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, profitability measures, and determination of the discount rates for the SCT reporting unit.

The Company also performed a qualitative assessment of the fair value of the TPS reporting unit as of September 30, 2026, and did not identify any triggering events that would indicate the carrying value is more likely than not less than the fair value of the reporting unit.

Changes to the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 were as follows:

OVERVIEW

IMAX is a premier global technology platform for entertainment and events. Through its proprietary software, auditorium architecture, patented intellectual property, and specialized equipment, IMAX offers a unique end-to-end solution to create superior, awe-inspiring immersive content experiences for which the IMAX® brand is globally renowned. Top filmmakers, movie studios, artists, and creators utilize the cutting-edge visual and sound technology of IMAX to connect with audiences in innovative ways. As a result, IMAX is among the most important and successful global distribution platforms for domestic and international tentpole films. The Company’s global content portfolio includes blockbuster films, both from Hollywood and local language film industries worldwide; IMAX documentaries, both original and acquired (“IMAX Documentaries”); and IMAX events and experiences in emerging verticals, including music, gaming, and sports.

The Company leverages its proprietary technology and engineering in its business, which principally consists of the digital remastering of films and other content into the IMAX format for distribution across the IMAX network (“IMAX Film Remastering”) and the sale or lease of premium IMAX theater systems (“IMAX System(s)”).

IMAX Systems are based on proprietary and patented image, audio and other technology developed over the course of the Company’s history. The customers for IMAX Systems are principally exhibitors that operate commercial multiplex theaters, and, to a much lesser extent, institutional locations, including museums and science centers, and destination entertainment sites. The Company does not own the locations in the IMAX network, except for one, and is not an exhibitor, but instead sells or leases the IMAX System to exhibitor customers along with licenses to use its trademarks and ongoing maintenance services for which there are annual payments by the exhibitors to IMAX.

IMAX has the largest global premium format network, more than double the size of its nearest competitor. As of September 30, 2026, there were 1,887 IMAX Systems operating in locations in 91 countries and territories, including 1,820 commercial multiplexes, 10 commercial destinations, and 57 institutional locations in the Company’s global network. This compares to 1,829 IMAX Systems operating in locations in 89 countries and territories as of September 30, 2025, including 1,759 commercial multiplexes, 10 commercial destinations, and 60 institutional locations in the Company’s global network. (Refer to the table under “IMAX Network and Backlog” for additional information on the composition of the IMAX network.)

IMAX Systems provide the Company’s exhibitor customers with a combination of the following benefits:

•the ability to exhibit content that has been enhanced through the IMAX Film Remastering process, which results in higher image and sound fidelity than conventional cinema experiences;

•advanced, high-resolution projectors with specialized equipment and automated theater control systems, which generate significantly more contrast and brightness than conventional theater systems;

•large screens and proprietary auditorium geometry, which result in a substantially larger field of view than conventional theater systems so that the screen extends to the edge of a viewer’s peripheral vision and creates more realistic images;

•advanced sound system components, which deliver more expansive sound imagery than conventional theater systems and pinpointed origination of sound to any specific spot in an auditorium equipped with an IMAX System;

•specialized theater acoustics, which result in a four-fold reduction in background noise compared to conventional cinema experiences;

•ongoing maintenance and extended warranty services to ensure a consistent image and sound quality presentation across the IMAX global network; and

•a license to the globally recognized IMAX brand, as well as benefits from IMAX marketing of films being shown in its network and IMAX’s growing social media followership.
    
The Company believes that the benefits related to the enhanced and differentiated image quality and film aspect ratio enable audiences in IMAX locations to feel as if they are a part of the on-screen action, creating a more intense, immersive, and awe-inspiring experience than a conventional cinematic format. For additional discussion, see section titled “Sources of Revenue—IMAX Film Remastering and Distribution” below.

As a result of the engineering and scientific achievements that are a hallmark of The IMAX Experience®, the Company’s exhibitor customers typically charge a premium for films released in IMAX’s format versus films exhibited in their other auditoriums. The premium pricing, combined with the higher attendance levels associated with IMAX films, generates incremental box office receipts

Table of Contents
(“global box office”) for the Company’s exhibitor customers and for the movie studios releasing their films to the IMAX network. IMAX has become a key premium distribution and marketing platform for Hollywood and local language films driven by IMAX’s leading global network footprint and scale, the incremental global box office generated by IMAX films and the growing demand by moviegoers for the differentiated quality of The IMAX Experience.


The strength of the IMAX business model and brand are evidenced by its results for the third quarter of 2026, in which the Company delivered the best quarterly financial performance in its history. This includes revenue of $174.6 million, net income of $113.8 million, earnings per diluted share of $1.96, total adjusted EBITDA of $120.9 million, and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.21.

IMAX generated quarterly box office of $712.1 million, its highest grossing quarter ever led by the performance of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the first theatrical release ever shot entirely with the IMAX film cameras. The mythic action epic generated IMAX box office of $538 million during the quarter, cementing its status as the Company’s highest grossing film of all time. Box office during the period was further bolstered by Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Resident Evil, the latter of which delivered one of the biggest IMAX opening weekends of all time for a horror film.

Strong demand for IMAX among audiences worldwide continues to create a positive network effect for the Company, as more filmmakers, studios, and artists seek to create content for the IMAX platform. The IMAX film slate for 2027 is more than 65% full and is expected to include more than 12 Filmed For IMAX® releases, including Star Wars: Starfighter and the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. Filmed For IMAX releases continue to be a key driver of the Company’s surging market share; as of September 30, 2026, its trailing twelve-month box office market share was 6.2% domestic and 4.5% global.

Furthermore, IMAX continues to build its portfolio of local language films from around the world. In the third quarter of 2026, local language films delivered $36.5 million in IMAX global box office, led by the Chinese local language film, All Wishes Come True!.

See “Results of Operations” below for a discussion of the Company’s 2026 three and nine months results as compared to the corresponding prior year periods.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

The Company has organized its operating segments into the following two reportable segments: (i) Content Solutions, which principally includes content enhancement and distribution services, and (ii) Technology Products and Services, which principally includes the sale, lease, and maintenance of IMAX Systems. The Company’s activities that do not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment are disclosed within All Other (See Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1).

Content Solutions

The Content Solutions segment earns revenue from IMAX Film Remastering, including the distribution of this content across the IMAX global network. To a lesser extent, the Content Solutions segment also earns revenue from the distribution of large-format documentary films and IMAX events and experiences, including music, gaming, and sports to commercial IMAX theaters, as well as the provision of film post-production services. The Company earns merchandising revenue which includes IMAX branded merchandise and cooperative merchandising with studios.

Content Solutions segment results are influenced by the level of commercial success and global box office performance of the films and other content released to the IMAX network, as well as other factors, including the timing of the releases, the length of play across the IMAX network, and the global box office share take rates under the Company’s Film Remastering and distribution arrangements. Variations in the number, timing and performance of releases, including a significant film outperformance in a period, can result in fluctuations between periods, greater concentration of results in a particular period, and limit the comparability of year-over-year results. Other factors influencing segment results include the timing of documentary downstream sales, marketing expenditures associated with releases, and fluctuation in foreign currencies relative to U.S. Dollars.

IMAX Film Remastering is a proprietary technology that digitally remasters films and other content into IMAX formats for distribution across the IMAX network. In a typical IMAX Film Remastering and distribution arrangement, the Company receives a percentage of the global box office from a studio in exchange for converting a commercial film into the IMAX format and distributing it through the IMAX network. The fee earned by the Company in a typical IMAX Film Remastering and distribution arrangement averages approximately 12.5% of box office on a gross basis before sales taxes except within Greater China, where the Company often
45

Table of Contents
receives a lower percentage of net box office due to an incremental importation fee paid by the studios. All of the Company’s box office results in this Form 10-Q are inclusive of China booking fees to be consistent with market reporting of global box office.

IMAX Film Remastering digitally enhances the image quality and/or resolution for projection on IMAX screens while maintaining or enhancing the visual clarity and sound quality to levels for which The IMAX Experience is known. IMAX Film Remastering is completed for the image of films released to the IMAX network, creating a unique IMAX version that is optimized for IMAX’s proprietary digital projection systems and format. In addition, the original soundtrack of a film to be exhibited across the IMAX locations is remastered into a unique IMAX digital audio format. IMAX sound systems use proprietary loudspeaker systems, designs and proprietary surround sound configurations to ensure every seat in an auditorium is an optimal listening position.

IMAX films also benefit from enhancements made by individual filmmakers exclusively for the IMAX release of the film. Collectively, the Company refers to these enhancements as “IMAX DNA.” Filmmakers and movie studios increasingly seek to infuse more IMAX DNA in theatrical releases to realize a filmmaker’s creative vision more fully, while generating interest and excitement among moviegoers. Such enhancements include shooting films with IMAX cameras to increase the audience’s immersion in the film and to take advantage of the unique dimensions of the IMAX screen by projecting the film in a larger aspect ratio that delivers up to 26% more image onto a standard IMAX movie screen versus a conventional screen. In select IMAX locations worldwide, movies filmed with IMAX cameras have an IMAX-exclusive 1.43 film aspect ratio, delivering up to 67% more image onto a standard conventional movie screen.

Filmed For IMAX is IMAX’s filmmaker partnership program. Filmmakers who participate in the program leverage IMAX technology throughout the production process to deliver a movie that is meant to be seen in an IMAX location. From pre-production through to release, the Company works closely with filmmakers to maximize The IMAX Experience for audiences. Filmed For IMAX movies are shot using either an IMAX certified digital camera or an IMAX film camera, with the IMAX Post-Production team working closely with the filmmaker from camera testing before the shoot begins, to on-set support, to test screenings, and post-production. Most Filmed For IMAX movies leverage IMAX’s exclusive expanded aspect ratio for select sequences and, occasionally, the entire film, and benefit from unique marketing support. The global box office metrics have demonstrated audiences respond extremely favorably to Filmed For IMAX titles, resulting in a higher market share for IMAX. In the first nine months of 2026, Filmed For IMAX titles on average indexed approximately 11% higher than titles with no IMAX DNA on opening weekend.

Management believes that growth in global box office represents an important growth opportunity for the Company. The Company’s strategy to capitalize on this opportunity includes expanding the IMAX network into underpenetrated international markets and growing the number of local language films released, particularly in Japan, India, Thailand, and South Korea. As the popularity of local language films has continued to increase, the Company has extended its content strategy to distribute local language content beyond native markets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, local language films exhibited across the Company’s global network generated $36 million and $117 million in box office, representing 5% and 9%, respectively, of the Company’s global box office.

Other Content Solutions

The Company distributes large-format documentary feature films through its global commercial network and institutional theaters. Traditionally, the Company receives as its distribution fee either a fixed amount or a fixed percentage of the theater global box office and, following the recoupment of its costs, is typically entitled to receive an additional percentage of gross revenues as participation revenues.

Table of Contents
The Company believes that the IMAX network is a valuable global platform to launch and distribute original content, including documentaries. The ownership rights to such films may be held by the film sponsors, the film investors and/or the Company. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had distribution rights with respect to approximately 70 films, which cover subjects such as space, wildlife, music, sports, history, and natural wonders.

In early 2026, The Lost Wolves of Yellowstone, in collaboration with Grizzly Creek Films LLC, and French language documentary Athos, produced by Federation Studio France, were released. In April 2026, the Company released the restored IMAX documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams, in collaboration with Independent Film Company. In October 2026, the Company released the documentaries Stormbound, produced by Academy Award-winning producer, Adam McKay; Portrait of an Artist: Stephen Curry in collaboration with Religion of Sports, Unanimous Media, and NBA Entertainment; Everest: The Other Side in collaboration with National Geographic; and The Elephant Odyssey, a documentary in collaboration with Beach House Pictures Pte Ltd and China International Communications Group. Upcoming documentaries which are currently in production include Frontier, produced in collaboration with Nocturnal Entertainment Productions, LLC, Atlas Entertainment LLC, and Believe Entertainment Group, LLC, is expected to be released in 2027.

In addition, the Company continues to evolve its platform to bring new, innovative IMAX events and experiences to audiences worldwide. As of September 30, 2026, the Company was able to deliver live and interactive events to 251 locations worldwide. Furthermore, the Company can use its live streaming technologies to deliver events to additional IMAX locations around the world.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company partnered with various studios and distributors on a number of alternative content releases and exclusive events. These included the releases of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (Neon Rated and Universal Pictures), Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience (Bleecker Street and Universal Pictures), Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined (Trafalgar Releasing), Eric Church: Evangeline vs. The Machine Comes Alive (Mercury Studios), TOMMY in IMAX (50th Anniversary) (Sony Pictures), and Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger (Walt Disney Studios). The Company also exhibited limited releases of Marty Supreme (A24), Memento (China Film Group), Ghost: 2 Big to Rig (Popecorn Cinematic Pictures), Queen Budapest (Trafalgar Releasing), and Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live From Paris (Trafalgar Releasing). The Company partnered with MGM Studios in March 2026 and Universal Pictures in June 2026 to present exclusive Q&A livestreams in advance of screenings of Project Hail Mary and Disclosure Day, respectively, across select connected IMAX locations in North America. Furthermore, the Company partnered with Apple TV to livestream select races from the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship across North America, including the Miami Grand Prix in May 2026, the Monaco Grand Prix in June 2026, the British Grand Prix in July 2026, and the Italian Grand Prix in September 2026. In China, the Company partnered with China Film Group to livestream of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Huaxia to livestream the German Table Tennis Bundesliga, and Warner Bros. Discovery for the re-release of The Shawshank Redemption, marking the film’s first theatrical release in China.

The Company provides film post-production and quality control services for films, whether produced by IMAX or third parties, and digital post-production services. In addition, the Company provides IMAX film and digital cameras to content creators under the IMAX certified camera program.

Technology Products and Services

The Technology Products and Services segment earns revenue principally from the sale or lease of IMAX Systems, as well as from the maintenance of IMAX Systems. To a lesser extent, the Technology Products and Services segment also earns revenue from certain ancillary theater business activities, including after-market sales of IMAX Systems parts and 3D glasses.

The primary drivers of Technology Products and Services segment results are the number of IMAX Systems installed in a period, the costs associated with each installation, and lease payments tied to the global box office performance of the films released to the IMAX network, as well as the associated maintenance contracts that accompany each installation. The average revenue and gross margin per IMAX System under sale and sales-type lease arrangements vary depending upon the number of IMAX System commitments with a single respective exhibitor, an exhibitor’s location, the type of IMAX System sold, and various other factors. The installation of IMAX Systems in theaters or multiplexes, which make up a large portion of the Company’s system backlog, depends primarily on the timing of the construction of those projects, which is not under the Company’s control.

Sales and Sales-Type Lease Arrangements

The Company provides IMAX Systems to exhibitors through sale arrangements or long-term lease arrangements that for accounting purposes are classified as sales-type leases. Under these arrangements, in exchange for providing the IMAX System, the Company earns initial fees and ongoing consideration, which can include fixed annual minimum payments and contingent fees in excess of the minimum payments, as well as maintenance and extended warranty fees (see “IMAX Maintenance” below). The initial fees vary depending on the system configuration and location of the IMAX System. Initial fees are paid to the Company in installments typically between the time of signing the arrangement and the time of system installation. Once an IMAX System is installed, the
49

Table of Contents
initial fees and the present value of future annual minimum payments, which are financing fees, are recognized as revenue. In addition, in sale arrangements, the present value of the estimated contingent fees that may become due if certain annual minimum global box office receipt thresholds are exceeded is recorded as revenue in the period when the sale is recognized and is adjusted in future periods based on actual results and changes in estimates. Such variable consideration is only recognized on sales transactions to the extent the Company believes there is not a risk of significant revenue reversal. Finance income is recognized over the term of a financed sale or sales-type lease arrangement.

In sale arrangements, title to the IMAX System equipment generally transfers to the customer. However, in certain instances, the Company retains title or a security interest in the equipment until the customer has made all payments required by the agreement or until certain shipment events for the equipment have occurred. In a sales-type lease arrangement, title to the IMAX System equipment remains with the Company. The Company has the right to remove the equipment for non-payment or other defaults by the customer.

The revenue earned from customers under the Company’s IMAX System sale or sales-type lease agreements varies from quarter-to- quarter and year-to-year based on a number of factors, including the number and mix of IMAX System configurations sold or leased, the timing of installation of the IMAX Systems, the nature of the arrangement and other factors specific to individual contracts.

Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements

The Company also provides IMAX Systems to exhibitors through joint revenue sharing arrangements (“JRSA(s)”). Under the traditional form of these arrangements, the Company provides the IMAX System under a long-term lease in which the Company assumes the majority of the equipment and installation costs. In exchange for its upfront investment, the Company, generally, earns rent based on a percentage of contingent box office receipts rather than requiring the customer to pay a fixed upfront fee or fixed annual minimum payments. Rental payments from the customer are required throughout the term of the arrangement and are typically due either monthly or quarterly. The Company retains title to the IMAX System equipment components throughout the lease term, and the equipment is returned to the Company at the conclusion of the arrangement.

Under certain other JRSAs, known as hybrid arrangements, the customer is responsible for making fixed upfront payments prior to the delivery and installation of the IMAX System in an amount that is typically half of what the Company would receive from a typical sale transaction. As with a traditional JRSA, the customer also pays the Company a percentage of contingent box office receipts over the term of the arrangement, although this percentage is typically half that of a traditional JRSA.

Under most JRSAs (both traditional and hybrid), the initial non-cancellable term is 10 years or longer and is renewable by the customer for one to two additional terms of between three to five years. The Company has the right to remove the equipment for non-payment or other defaults by the customer. The contracts are non-cancellable by the customer unless the Company fails to perform its material obligations.

The revenue earned from customers under the Company’s JRSAs can vary from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year based on a number of factors that drive global box office levels including film performance, the mix of IMAX System configurations, the timing of installation of IMAX Systems, the nature of the arrangement, the location, size and management of the theater and other factors specific to individual arrangements.

JRSAs also require IMAX to provide maintenance and extended warranty services to the customer over the term of the lease in exchange for a separate fixed annual fee. These fees are reported within IMAX Maintenance, as discussed below.

JRSAs have been an important factor in the expansion of the Company’s commercial system network. JRSAs allow commercial theater exhibitors to install IMAX Systems without the significant initial capital investment required in a sale or sales-type lease arrangement. JRSAs drive recurring cash flows and earnings for the Company as customers under these arrangements pay the Company a portion of their ongoing box office receipts. The Company funds its investment in equipment for JRSAs through cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had 883 locations under JRSAs in its global commercial multiplex network. The Company also had contracts in backlog for 178 IMAX systems under JRSAs as of September 30, 2026, including 87 new locations and 91 upgrades to existing locations.

IMAX Maintenance

IMAX System arrangements also include a requirement for the Company to provide maintenance services over the life of the arrangement in exchange for an extended warranty and annual maintenance fee paid by the exhibitor. Under these arrangements, the Company provides preventative and emergency maintenance services to ensure that each presentation is up to IMAX quality standards. Annual maintenance fees are paid throughout the duration of the term of the system agreements.

IMAX currently estimates a worldwide commercial multiplex addressable market of 4,466 locations, of which there are 1,820 IMAX Systems operating as of September 30, 2026, representing a market penetration of only 41%. The Company believes that the majority of its future growth will come from international markets outside of Greater China. As of September 30, 2026, 76% of IMAX Systems in the global commercial multiplex network were located within international markets (defined as all countries other than the United States and Canada). Revenues and gross box office (“GBO”) derived from international markets continue to exceed revenues and GBO from the United States and Canada. Risks associated with the Company’s international business are outlined in “Risk Factors – The Company conducts business internationally, which exposes it to uncertainties and risks that could negatively affect its operations, sales and future growth prospects” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

The backlog reflects the minimum number of commitments for IMAX Systems according to signed contracts. The Company believes that the contractual obligations for IMAX System installations that are listed in backlog are valid and binding commitments. From time to time, the Company and its customers may amend the arrangement type of a backlog system, and in the normal course of its business the Company will have customers who are unable to proceed with an IMAX System installation for a variety of reasons, including the inability to obtain certain consents, approvals or financing.

Certain of the Company’s contracts contain options for the customer to elect to upgrade system type during the term or to alter the contract structure (for example, from a JRSA to a sale) after signing, but before installation. Current backlog information reflects all known elections.

As of September 30, 2026, 75% of IMAX System arrangements in backlog were scheduled to be installed in international markets (2025 — 74%).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflect growth across the business as well as the timing, mix and geographic distribution of global box office performance. The year-over-year increase in total global box office was primarily attributable to the box office performance of Christopher Nolan’s record breaking, global tentpole Filmed For IMAX release, The Odyssey, which became the Company’s highest grossing film of all time, along with significant contributions from Hollywood releases Project Hail Mary, Avatar: Fire and Ash and alternative content release Michael. Domestic and international markets outside of Greater China experienced strong box office growth, primarily driven by the performance of Filmed For IMAX Hollywood releases. The increases in global box office were partially offset by lower box office generated during the 2026 Chinese New Year as compared to the 2025 success of Ne Zha 2. The Company’s future results may continue to be affected by the timing and performance of major film releases, the mix of Hollywood and local language content, and the geographic concentration of box office revenues, as well as by variability in system installations and box office-driven revenues. In addition, broader macroeconomic conditions, including global economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions and conflicts, could adversely impact consumer demand and the Company’s ability to deliver and install IMAX systems, any of which could materially affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Revenues and Gross Margin

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company’s revenues and gross margin were $174.6 million and $126.3 million, respectively. In comparison to the prior year period, the Company’s revenues and gross margin increased by $67.9 million, or 64%, and $59.0 million, or 88%, respectively, principally due to the record box office performance of The Odyssey, the first film to be shot in its entirety with IMAX film cameras, and one where IMAX has delivered over 30% of the global box office.

Content Solutions

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, Content Solutions segment revenues and gross margin increased by $49.1 million, or 110%, and $39.7 million, or 125%, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2025.

In the third quarter of 2026, box office generated by IMAX films totaled a record $712.1 million, a $344.5 million, or 94%, increase versus the prior year comparative period of $367.6 million, becoming the highest grossing quarter in the Company’s history.

In the third quarter of 2026, box office was generated by the exhibition of 32 films (30 new films and two re-releases), led by Christopher Nolan’s record breaking, global tentpole Filmed For IMAX release, The Odyssey. The film generated box office of $538 million during the quarter, cementing its status as the Company’s highest grossing film of all time.

Global box office in the third quarter of 2026 also included the following Hollywood titles: Spider-Man: Brand New Day ($58 million), Resident Evil ($24 million), Avengers: Endgame re-release ($17 million) and Minions & Monsters ($10 million). Furthermore, in the third quarter of 2026, local language films exhibited across the Company’s global network generated $36.5 million in box office, representing 5% of its global box office, including the Chinese local language film, All Wishes Come True! ($10 million).

In the third quarter of 2025, IMAX box office was generated by the exhibition of 39 films and other content (37 new films and 2 re-releases), including the following Hollywood titles: F1 The Movie ($65 million), Superman ($57 million), and The Fantastic Four: First Steps ($49 million). Furthermore, in the third quarter of 2025, local language films exhibited across the Company’s global network generated $120.2 million in box office, representing 33% of its global box office.

In the third quarter of 2026, the Company released four movies that were filmed with IMAX proprietary cameras (Filmed For IMAX): The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, Resident Evil, and the Chinese local language film, Once Upon a Time in the Middle East. Filmed For IMAX movies historically have outperformed at the box office, with The Odyssey delivering over 30% of the global box office and Resident Evil delivering approximately 15% of the opening weekend domestic box office.

Table of Contents
In the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company strategically expanded its merchandise program and recorded $2.3 million of revenue from IMAX branded merchandise and cooperative merchandising with studios, including the first IMAX popcorn buckets.

In addition to the level of revenues, Content Solutions segment gross margin is influenced by the costs associated with films and other content exhibited in the period. These costs can include production, post-production, distribution, and marketing, which are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, gross margin percent was 76% compared to 71% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin reflects the mix of IMAX box office, amount of marketing spend and level of box office outperformance.

Technology Products and Services

The following table provides information about IMAX Systems installed and the associated revenue recognized at that time, except for traditional JRSAs as revenue is recognized over the lease term, during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Total IMAX Systems
15 $12,182 18 $14,199 

In the three months ended September 30, 2026, one IMAX System was relocated from its original location (2025 ― two IMAX Systems). When a system under a sale or sales-type lease arrangement is relocated, the amount of revenue earned by the Company may vary from transaction to transaction and is typically lower than a new IMAX system. In certain situations when a system is relocated, the original location is upgraded to an IMAX Laser System.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, Technology Products and Services segment revenue and gross margin increased by $16.8 million, or 28%, and $18.6 million, or 53%, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2025. The higher level of revenue was primarily driven by higher rental revenues, which are box office dependent. In the three months ended September 30, 2026, rental revenues increased by $18.4 million, as IMAX GBO earned from the Company’s JRSAs increased $101.7 million compared to the prior year period, from $154.6 million to $256.3 million, or 66%.

The increase in revenue described above was partially offset by $0.9 million decrease in revenue from the installation of IMAX Systems under sales and sales-type lease arrangements versus the prior period, which is primarily driven by a variation in timing of installations within a given year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, gross margin percent was 69% compared to 58% in the prior period, which primarily reflects the higher level of revenues generated from stronger IMAX box office performance across the joint revenue sharing network, as described above.

All Other

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, All Other revenue and gross margin increased by $1.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2025, which principally reflects the results of the box office performance driven by The Odyssey from the Company’s one owned and operated theater.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, Research and Development expenses were $1.9 million, representing an increase of $0.4 million or 27%, when compared to $1.5 million during the same period in the prior year. The Company continues to expense its investment in other projects, including in the development of new product offerings, data and software projects and improvements to its existing IMAX System and camera product suite.

Credit Loss Expense, Net

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a credit loss expense of $1.2 million, as compared to a credit loss expense of $0.6 million in the prior year comparative period. The year over year change was primarily due to higher reserves established for specific customers in China resulting from a deterioration in customer credit quality.

Overall, continued strong global box office performance has contributed to consistent collections. Strong theatrical attendance, driven by a robust film slate, has increased and accelerated cash inflows from studio and exhibitor customers. This trend reflects the continued consumer demand for premium cinematic experiences and effectiveness of IMAX's strategic initiatives to partner with filmmakers, studios, and exhibitors to deliver higher levels of box office.

The Company estimates credit losses based on both a historical provision rate and customer specific circumstances. Management’s judgments regarding expected credit losses are based on the facts available to management at the time that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and involve estimates about the future. As a result, the Company’s judgments and associated estimates of credit losses may ultimately prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be incorrect. (Refer to Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1.)

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest expense was $1.8 million in each period. Average borrowings under the Credit Facility (as defined under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below) in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 was $20.5 million in each period. The effective interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was 5.16% (2025 — 6.09%).

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest income was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Interest income primarily comprises interest earned on bank deposits.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $43.3 million (2025 — expense of $5.2 million). The Company’s effective tax rate of (58.7%) for the three months ended September 30, 2026 (2025 — 18.7%) reflects the release of a valuation allowance related to certain Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets and the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions and a decrease in tax reserves, partially offset by withholding taxes. The

Company’s release of the valuation allowance, based on having demonstrated sustained profitability, was $59.0 million and is discussed below.

Deferred Tax Assets, Liabilities and Related Valuation Allowance

Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including recent operating results, forecasts of future taxable income, and other relevant factors specific to our industry such as the success of new film releases. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company concluded that is more likely than not that certain of its Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company released the related valuation allowance, resulting in an income tax benefit in the period of $59.0 million, of which $36.7 million relates to deferred tax assets expected to be utilized in future years.

Canada Revenue Agency Reassessments

As disclosed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company is subject to ongoing tax audits. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) issued Notices of Reassessment to the Company in respect of its 2017 through 2019 taxation years relating primarily to the transactions between the Canadian entity and a Chinese subsidiary in those years. The reassessments would, if successful, increase the Canadian entity’s taxable income by approximately $102 million across those years.

The Company believes the CRA’s position to be without merit, and intends to vigorously defend the original filing position by submitting Notices of Objection and pursuing available appeal rights. In addition, should the CRA’s reassessments prevail in whole or in part, the Company would seek relief through the competent authority Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) to avoid double taxation by reducing the income of the Chinese subsidiary and recover taxes paid in China in the same taxation years. Until the matter is resolved, a significant amount of Canadian tax attributes will not be available to reduce taxable income and it is expected that the Company will be required to make Canadian income tax payments that exceed current tax expense.

The Company has evaluated its filing positions under ASC 740 and concluded it has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026, no unrecognized tax benefit has been recorded for these matters. The ultimate outcome is uncertain and an unfavorable resolution could be material.

Non-Controlling Interests

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the net income attributable to non-controlling interests of the Company’s subsidiaries was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million, when compared to the same period in 2025, which was driven by the higher level of IMAX box office earned in Greater China from The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Goodwill Impairment

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized an impairment charge for the remaining goodwill value for the SCT reporting unit in the amount of $6.8 million (2025 — $nil). The resulting goodwill impairment charge was due to the Company’s shift in product and service offerings and the potential cash flows that these offerings are projected to generate, as well as organizational changes within the quarter. (Refer to Note 18 to “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1.)

Revenues and Gross Margin

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company’s revenues and gross margin were $358.8 million and $235.0 million, respectively. In comparison to the prior year period, the Company’s revenues and gross margin increased by $73.8 million, or 26%, and $61.0 million, or 35%, respectively, principally due to the record box office performance generated from The Odyssey, the first film to be shot in its entirety with IMAX film cameras, and one where IMAX has delivered over 30% of the global box office on The Odyssey, which became the highest-grossing IMAX film of all time.

Content Solutions

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Content Solutions segment revenues and gross margin increased by $47.0 million, or 42%, and by $34.0 million, or 44%, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2025.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, box office generated by IMAX films totaled $1.3 billion, a $309.7 million, or 33%, increase versus the prior year comparative period of $946.9 million. This increase was primarily driven by the overperformance of Hollywood titles, led by Christopher Nolan’s record breaking, global tentpole Filmed For IMAX release, The Odyssey. The film generated box office of $538 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cementing its status as the Company’s highest grossing film of all time. The Odyssey also set a number of additional IMAX records, including becoming the highest grossing domestic IMAX title, the highest grossing international IMAX title, and achieving the highest global indexing for the run of a film at over 30%. As of the date of this report, The Odyssey has generated a total box office of approximately $556 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, IMAX box office was generated by the exhibition of 101 films and other content (93 new films, seven re-releases and one carry-over), including the following titles: The Odyssey, Project Hail Mary ($96 million), Avatar: Fire and Ash ($78 million), Michael ($71 million), and Spider-Man: Brand New Day ($58 million). In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, local language films exhibited across the Company’s global network generated $117 million in box office, representing 9% of its global box office, including the Chinese local language film, Pegasus 3 ($34 million) and All Wishes Come True ($10 million). In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, IMAX box office revenue was generated by the exhibition of 94 films (91 new films and 3 re-releases), including the following Hollywood titles, F1 The Movie ($97 million), Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning ($76 million), Superman ($57 million), The Fantastic Four: First Steps ($49 million) and Sinners ($39 million). Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had higher local language box office driven by the breakout performance of Ne Zha 2 ($167 million) and the Japanese local language film, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, which became the highest grossing IMAX release of all time in Japan.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company released 11 movies that were filmed with IMAX proprietary cameras (Filmed For IMAX), including The Odyssey, Project Hail Mary, Mortal Kombat II, The Mandalorian & Grogu, the Chinese local language film Once Upon a Time in the Middle East and the IMAX documentary Athos. Filmed For IMAX movies historically have

outperformed at the box office, and for five of these films, IMAX delivered approximately 20% of more of the opening weekend domestic box office.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company strategically expanded its merchandise program and recorded $2.3 million of revenue from IMAX branded merchandise and cooperative merchandising with studios, including the first IMAX popcorn buckets.

In addition to the level of revenues, Content Solutions segment gross margin is influenced by the costs associated with films and other content exhibited in the period. These costs can include production, post-production, distribution, and marketing, which are expensed as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, gross margin percent was 70% compared to 69% in the prior year. The increase in gross margin reflects the mix of IMAX box office, amount of marketing spend and level of box office outperformance.

Technology Products and Services

The following table provides information about IMAX Systems installed and the associated revenue recognized at that time, except for traditional JRSAs, for which revenue is recognized over the lease term, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Total41 $38,019 44 $37,867 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, three IMAX Systems were relocated from their original location (2025 ― five IMAX Systems). When a system under a sale or sales-type lease arrangement is relocated, the amount of revenue earned by the Company may vary from transaction to transaction and is usually less than the amount earned for a new sale. In certain situations when a system is relocated, the original location is upgraded to an IMAX Laser System.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Technology Products and Services segment revenue and gross margin increased by $23.8 million, or 14%, and $25.2 million, or 27%, respectively, when compared to the same period in the prior year. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, rental revenues increased by $17.0 million, as IMAX GBO earned from the Company’s JRSAs increased $64.8 million compared to the prior period, from $419.8 million to $484.6 million, or 15%. The increase reflects stronger box office performance during the quarter, driven by The Odyssey. Accordingly, rental revenues were impacted by the mostly higher average rental rates resulting from the geographic box office mix coupled with additional rent specifically earned from locations in which the Company has invested in lease incentives.

The increase in revenue was also driven by a $6.3 million increase in revenue contribution from the impact of amendments, renewals and other adjustments, including changes in estimates for variable consideration, to existing IMAX Systems arrangements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, gross margin percent was 63% compared to 56% in the same period in the prior year, which primarily reflects the higher level of revenues as described above.

All Other

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, All Other revenue and gross margin increased by $3.0 million, and $1.8 million, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2025, which principally reflects the results of the box office performance from the Company’s one owned and operated theater, and the Company’s SCT business expansion of offerings to Goer Dynamics Group Co., Ltd. (“Goer Dynamics”) under an automotive consumer device partnership, following the re-positioning and relaunch in late 2025 under the brand of IMAX Enhanced.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the higher level of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses year-over-year reflects higher annual incentive compensation costs driven by the Company’s record performance and fringe benefits, partially offset by management’s continued focus on operational efficiencies. Additionally, influencing the prior period, were $2.6 million in benefits resulting from an Employee Retention Credit as a reduction to Selling, General and Administrative expenses, partially offset by higher annual incentive compensation costs.

Research and Development

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Research and Development expenses were $5.4 million, representing an increase of $1.0 million, or 23%, when compared to Research and Development expenses of $4.4 million during the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increased investment in data and software related projects in the current year as well as lower capitalization of costs in the current year related to the Company’s film cameras. The Company continues to expense its investment in other projects, including in the development of new product offerings and improvements to its existing IMAX System product suite.

Credit Loss Expense, Net

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a credit loss expense of $2.2 million, as compared to a credit loss expense of $0.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The year over year change was primarily due to higher reserves established for specific customers in China resulting from a deterioration in customer credit quality.

Overall, continued strong global box office performance has contributed to consistent collections. Strong theatrical attendance, driven by a robust film slate, has increased and accelerated cash inflows from studio and exhibitor customers. This trend reflects the continued consumer demand for premium cinematic experiences and effectiveness of IMAX's strategic initiatives to partner with filmmakers, studios, and exhibitors to deliver higher levels of box office.

The Company estimates credit losses based on both a historical provision rate and customer specific circumstances. Management’s judgments regarding expected credit losses are based on the facts available to management at the time that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and involve estimates about the future. As a result, the Company’s judgments and associated estimates of credit losses may ultimately prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be incorrect. (Refer to Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1).

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest expense was $5.6 million, respectively. Average borrowings under the Credit Facility (as defined under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below) in the first nine months of 2026 was $18.5 million, compared to $33 million for the same period in 2025. The effective interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 5.16% (2025 — 6.15%).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest income was $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Interest income primarily comprises interest earned on bank deposits.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax recovery of $37.4 million (2025 — expense of $13.7 million). The Company’s effective tax rate of (36.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (2025 — 24.1%) reflects the release of a valuation allowance related to certain Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets and the geographic allocation of income earned in taxing jurisdictions, tax benefit from share-based compensation, and reversals of tax reserves, partially offset by withholding taxes. The Company’s release of the valuation allowance, based on having demonstrated sustained profitability, was $54.2 million and is discussed below.

Deferred Tax Assets, Liabilities and Related Valuation Allowance

Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including recent operating results, forecasts of future taxable income, and other relevant factors specific to our industry such as the success of new film releases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained profitability which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, the Company concluded that is more likely than not that certain of its Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets will be realized. The company released the related valuation allowance, resulting in an income tax benefit in the period of $54.2 million, of which $36.7 million relates to deferred tax assets expected to be utilized in future years.

Canada Revenue Agency Reassessments

As disclosed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company is subject to ongoing tax audits. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the CRA issued Notices of Reassessment to the Company in respect of its 2017 through 2019 taxation years relating primarily to the transactions between the Canadian entity and a Chinese subsidiary in those years. The reassessments would, if successful, increase the Canadian entity’s taxable income by approximately $102 million across those years.

The Company believes the CRA’s position to be without merit, and intends to vigorously defend the original filing position by submitting Notices of Objection and pursuing available appeal rights. In addition, should the CRA’s reassessments prevail in whole or in part, the Company would seek relief through the competent authority Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) to avoid double taxation by reducing the income of the Chinese subsidiary and recover taxes paid in China in the same taxation years. Until the matter is resolved, a significant amount of Canadian tax attributes will not be available to reduce taxable income and it is expected that the Company will be required to make Canadian income tax payments that exceed current tax expense.

The Company has evaluated its filing positions under ASC 740 and concluded it has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026, no unrecognized tax benefit has been recorded for these matters. The ultimate outcome is uncertain and an unfavorable resolution could be material.

Non-Controlling Interests

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the net income attributable to non-controlling interests of the Company’s subsidiaries was $5.6 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, which was primarily driven by the lower level of IMAX box office earned in Greater China compared to the same period in 2025, which included the performance of Ne Zha 2, the highest grossing IMAX release of all time in China.

Restructuring Charges and Other Impairments

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded $2.3 million (2025 — $0.8 million) in Restructuring charges and other impairments.

Specifically, in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2.0 million (2025 — $nil) on an individual documentary film asset following a reassessment of estimated future revenues. The revised estimates reflect updates to estimated market performance and future monetization of the title.

In addition, the Company incurred termination charges of $0.3 million (2025 — $0.8 million) in connection with its plan to optimize its organizational structure, including eliminating redundant roles, addressing spans and layers to capture efficiencies and centralizing certain operational roles.

Goodwill Impairment
62

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized an impairment charge for the remaining goodwill value for the SCT reporting unit in the amount of $6.8 million (2025 — $nil). The goodwill impairment charge was due to the Company’s shift in product and service offerings and the potential cash flows that these offerings are projected to generate, as well as organizational changes within the year.

CASH FLOWS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 AND 2025

The discussion below summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Net cash provided by the Company’s operating activities increased $24.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in the net income before taxes earned in the current period. The higher level of net cash provided by operating activities year over year was partially offset by a $32.1 million increase in the Accounts Receivable balance which primarily reflects timing of collections for the stronger third quarter 2026 IMAX box office performance and $8.9 million in additional cash outflows for lease incentives provided to exhibitor customers under the Company’s plan to invest at a higher level to grow the IMAX network at a faster pace. (Refer to Note 9 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. for more information on the Company’s change in other operating assets and liabilities.)

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $13.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025. Cash used in the investment in equipment contributed to the Company’s JRSAs with exhibitor customers was higher in the comparative period of 2025 due in part to the Company shipping systems into the U.S. in advance of planned 2025 system installations as a proactive measure in response to new and potentially changing tariffs. (Refer to “Risk Factors—The Company’s business may be materially adversely affected by the imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures implemented by the United States and other governments.” in Part I, Item 1A. in the 2025 Form 10-K.)

Net cash used in financing activities increased $23.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when compared to the same period in 2025, mainly driven by repurchases of common shares, higher net repayments of borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility, and higher taxes withheld and paid on employee stock awards vested due to the Company’s higher stock price relative to grant dates. This increase in net cash used in financing activities year over year was offset by $25.3 million of cash received for stock options exercised.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity included: (i) its balances of cash and cash equivalents of $207.9 million; (ii) the anticipated collection of trade accounts receivable, which includes amounts owed under JRSAs and Film Remastering and distribution agreements with movie studios; (iii) the anticipated collection of financing and variable consideration receivables due in the next 12 months under sale and sales-type lease arrangements for systems currently in operation; and (iv) installment payments expected in the next 12 months under sale and sales-type lease arrangements in backlog. Under the terms of the Company’s typical sale and sales-type lease agreements, the Company receives substantial cash payments before it completes the performance of its contractual obligations.

In addition, as of September 30, 2026, the Company had $375.0 million in available borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility pursuant to its Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), $28.2 million in available borrowing capacity under the IMAX Shanghai revolving credit facility with the Bank of China (the “Bank of China Facility”), and $29.7 million in available borrowing capacity under IMAX Shanghai’s revolving credit facility with HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (the “HSBC China Facility”). (Refer to “Borrowings — Convertible Notes and Other Borrowings, Net” in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1.)

The Company’s $207.9 million balance of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 — $151.2 million) included $171.6 million in cash held outside of Canada (December 31, 2025 — $137.4 million), of which $121.8 million was held in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (December 31, 2025 — $97.2 million). In prior years, management reassessed its strategy with respect to the most efficient means of deploying the Company’s capital resources globally and determined that historical earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries in excess of amounts required to sustain business operations would no longer be indefinitely reinvested. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, no historical earnings from a subsidiary in the PRC were distributed
64

Table of Contents
(2025 — $nil) and, as a result, no foreign withholding taxes were paid to the relevant tax authorities (2025 — $nil). As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included a deferred tax liability of $12.5 million for the applicable foreign withholding taxes associated with the remaining balance of non-repatriated historical earnings that will not be indefinitely reinvested outside of Canada. These taxes will become payable upon the repatriation of any such earnings.

The Company forecasts its future cash flow and short-term liquidity requirements on an ongoing basis. These forecasts are based on estimates and may be materially impacted by factors that are outside of the Company’s control (including the factors described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K as supplemented by “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q). As a result, there is no guarantee that these forecasts will come to fruition and that the Company will be able to fund its operations through cash flows from operations. In particular, the Company’s operating cash flows and cash balances will be adversely impacted if management’s projections of future signings and installations of IMAX Systems and box office performance of IMAX content are not realized.

The Company also has certain significant contractual obligations and commitments that have been disclosed in “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. There are no material changes to these obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2026.

Based on the Company’s current cash balances and operating cash flows, management expects to have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund its anticipated operating needs and capital requirements during the next twelve-month period following the date of this report.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There are currently no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management’s judgments, assumptions, and estimates are based on historical experience, future expectations, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may ultimately differ from the Company’s original estimates, as future events and circumstances sometimes do not develop as expected, and the differences may be material. For more information on the Company’s critical accounting estimates refer to the section entitled “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2025 Form 10-K.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards and their impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In this report, the Company presents financial measures in accordance with GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis under the SEC regulations. Specifically, the Company presents the following non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its performance:

•Adjusted net income or loss attributable to common shareholders;

•Adjusted net income or loss attributable to common shareholders per basic and diluted share;

•EBITDA;

•Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility; and

•Adjusted SG&A expenses.

Table of Contents
Adjusted net income or loss attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income or loss attributable to common shareholders per basic and diluted share exclude, where applicable: (i) share-based compensation; (ii) realized and unrealized investment gains or losses; (iii) goodwill impairment; (iv) restructuring charges and other impairments; and (v) employee retention credits, as well as the related tax impact of these adjustments.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures that allow management and users of the Company’s financial statements to view operating trends and analyze controllable operating performance on a comparable basis between periods without the after-tax impact of share-based compensation and certain non-recurring items included in net income attributable to common shareholders. Although share-based compensation is an important aspect of the Company’s employee and executive compensation packages, it is a non-cash expense and is excluded from certain internal business performance measures.

Reconciliations of net income attributable to common shareholders and net income attributable to common shareholder per diluted share to adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share are presented in the tables below.

(1)For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Net income attributable to common shareholders includes $36.7 million (or $0.65 per diluted share) of valuation allowance release related to certain Canadian federal and provincial deferred tax assets that are expected to be utilized in future years.

In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, management also uses “EBITDA,” as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, and which is referred to herein as “Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility.” As defined in the Credit Agreement, Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility includes adjustments in addition to the exclusion of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, this non-GAAP financial measure is presented to allow a more comprehensive analysis of the Company’s operating performance and to provide additional information with respect to the Company’s compliance with its Credit Agreement requirements, when applicable. In addition, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility presents relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Company’s industry to evaluate, assess and benchmark the Company’s results.

EBITDA is defined as net income or loss excluding: (i) income tax expense or benefit; (ii) interest expense, net of interest income; (iii) depreciation and amortization, including film asset amortization; and (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility is defined as EBITDA excluding: (i) share-based and other non-cash compensation; (ii) realized and unrealized investment gains or losses; (iii) restructuring charges and other impairments; (iv) write-downs, net of recoveries, including goodwill, asset impairments and credit loss expense or reversal; and (v) induced conversion expense on settlement of convertible notes.

Reconciliations of net income attributable to common shareholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility are presented in the tables below:

The Company also adjusts SG&A Expenses to exclude a portion of share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. Management uses non-GAAP and other financial measures such as this, internally for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. IMAX believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management and its financial and operational decision making.

A reconciliation of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP measure presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in Part I, Item 1, to Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses is presented in the table below.

The Company cautions that these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP amounts.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. Market risk is the potential change in an instrument’s value caused by, for example, fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is the risk of unfavorable movements in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, and Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

A majority of the Company’s revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars while a significant portion of its costs and expenses is denominated in Canadian Dollars. A portion of the Company’s net U.S. Dollar cash flows is converted to Canadian Dollars to fund Canadian Dollar expenses through the spot market. In addition, IMAX films generate box office in 91 different countries, and therefore unfavorable exchange rates between applicable local currencies and the U.S. Dollar could have an impact on the GBO generated by the Company’s exhibitor customers and its revenues. The Company has incoming cash flows from its revenue generating IMAX network and ongoing operating expenses in China through its majority-owned subsidiary IMAX Shanghai. In Japan, the Company has ongoing Yen-denominated operating expenses related to its Japanese operations. Net RMB and Japanese Yen cash flows are converted to U.S. Dollars through the spot market. The Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in RMB, Japanese Yen, British Pound Sterling, Euros and Canadian Dollars.

The Company manages its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks through its regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures as well as reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates.

Certain of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries held approximately RMB 817.1 million ($121.3 million) in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 — RMB 678.2 million or $96.5 million) and are required to transact locally in RMB. Foreign currency exchange transactions, including the remittance of any funds into and out of the PRC, are subject to controls and require the approval of the China State Administration of Foreign Exchange to complete. Any developments relating to the Chinese economy and any actions taken by the Chinese government are beyond the control of the Company; however, the Company monitors and manages its capital and liquidity requirements to ensure compliance with local regulatory and policy requirements. (Refer to “Risk Factors – The Company faces risks in connection with its significant presence in China and the continued expansion of its business there” in Part I, Item 1A. of the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.)

Management also monitors the macroeconomic environment as part of its continuous assessment of credit risk. This includes consideration of developments in the U.S. and global banking sectors, which informs management’s assessment of any potential direct and indirect impacts on the Company. There are no concentrations of cash and cash equivalents in any regional banking institutions, such that management considers there to be any material risk in this regard.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a foreign exchange net loss of $0.4 million and net loss of $0.6 million respectively, resulting from changes in exchange rates related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities (2025 — net losses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively).

69

Table of Contents
The Company has entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risks associated with the volatility of foreign currencies. Certain of these foreign currency forward contracts met the criteria required for hedge accounting under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC at inception, and continue to meet hedge effectiveness tests as of September 30, 2026, with settlement dates throughout 2026 and 2028. Foreign currency derivatives are recognized and measured on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations except for derivatives designated and qualifying as foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments. The Company currently has cash flow hedging instruments associated with Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments related to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, the effective portion of the gain or loss in a hedge of a forecasted transaction is reported within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reclassified to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The notional value of foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments that qualify for hedge accounting as of September 30, 2026 was $45.0 million (December 31, 2025 — $48.4 million). Losses of $0.2 million and losses of $1.6 million were recorded to Other Comprehensive Loss with respect to the change in fair value of these contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively (2025 — losses of $1.2 million and gains of $0.6 million, respectively). Losses of $0.1 million and gains of $0.4 million were reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively (2025 — losses of $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively). The Company currently does not hold any derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments.

For all derivative instruments, the Company is subject to counterparty credit risk to the extent that the counterparty may not meet its obligations to the Company. To manage this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with major financial institutions.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s Financing Receivables and working capital items denominated in Canadian Dollars, RMB, Japanese Yen, Euros and other foreign currencies translated into U.S. Dollars was $133.3 million. Assuming a 10% appreciation or depreciation in foreign currency exchange rates from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2026, the potential change in the fair value of foreign currency-denominated financing receivables and working capital items would have been $13.3 million. A significant portion of the Company’s Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses is denominated in Canadian Dollars. Assuming a 1% change appreciation or depreciation in foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2026, the potential change in the amount of Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses would be $0.2 million.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company’s earnings may also be affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on its interest income from cash, and its interest expense from variable-rate borrowings that may be made under the Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its Credit Facility (December 31, 2025 — $37.0 million), its HSBC China Facility (December 31, 2025 — $nil) and its Bank of China Facility (December 31, 2025 — $nil). Borrowings during the period were subject to variable effective interest rates. If the interest rates available to the Company increased by 10%, the Company’s interest expense would increase by less than $0.1 million and interest income from cash would increase by $0.4 million.

The Company had no variable rate debt instruments as of September 30, 2026. Variable debt instruments represented 8% of its total liabilities as of December 31, 2025. These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt and cash balances as of September 30, 2026.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

70

Table of Contents
The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2026 and has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Company will continue to periodically evaluate its disclosure controls and procedures and will make modifications from time to time as deemed necessary to ensure that information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for information regarding legal proceedings involving the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

This Form 10-Q should be read together with, and supplement, the risk factors in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, which describes various risks and uncertainties to which the Company is or may become subject. The risk factors below update certain risk factors included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K in light of recent events. The below risk factors and the risk factors included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The Company conducts business internationally, which exposes it to uncertainties and risks that could negatively affect its operations, sales, and future growth prospects.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues and of the GBO earned by the Company’s exhibitor customers are generated outside the United States and Canada. Approximately 62%, 58%, and 64% of the Company’s revenues were derived outside of the United States and Canada in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2026, 75% of IMAX Systems in backlog were scheduled to be installed in international markets. The Company’s network spanned 91 different countries as of September 30, 2026, and the Company expects its international operations to continue to account for an increasingly significant portion of its future revenues. There are a number of risks associated with operating in international markets that could negatively affect the Company’s operations, sales and future growth prospects. These risks, among others, include:

Operational and Supply Chain Risks

•difficulties in obtaining competitively priced key commodities, raw materials, and component parts from various international sources that are needed to manufacture quality products on a timely basis;

•dependence on foreign distributors and their sales channels;

•reliance on local partners in foreign territories, including in connection with JRSAs;

•difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

•inability to complete installations of IMAX Systems, including as a result of material disruptions or delays in the Company’s supply chains, or to collect full payment on installations thereof;

•public health concerns, including pandemics or epidemics, and regulations in response thereto, which could adversely affect the Company’s and its customers’ operations; and

•harm to the IMAX brand from operating in countries with records of controversial government action, including human rights abuses.

Financial and Macroeconomic Risks

•fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies versus the U.S. Dollar, potential currency devaluations, and imposition of foreign exchange controls in foreign jurisdictions;

•adverse changes in foreign government monetary and/or tax policies, and/or difficulties in repatriating cash from foreign jurisdictions (including with respect to China, where approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange is required);

•requirements to provide performance bonds and letters of credit to international customers to secure IMAX System component deliveries;

•less accurate and/or less reliable box office reporting;

72

Table of Contents
•difficulties in establishing market-appropriate pricing; and

•economic conditions in foreign markets, including inflation.

Geopolitical, Trade, and Regulatory Compliance Risks

•new and potentially changing tariffs, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, trade embargoes, sanctions and export controls, and other trade barriers, including but not limited to planned, implemented or threatened tariffs and retaliatory responses thereto, or the residual impacts and uncertainty as a result of changes in tariff or trade policy;

•new restrictions on access to markets, both for IMAX Systems and content;

•unusual or burdensome foreign laws or regulatory requirements or unexpected changes to those laws or requirements, including censorship of content that may restrict what films or other content are exhibited across the Company’s network;

•local business practices that can present challenges to compliance with applicable anti-corruption and bribery laws;

•poor recognition of intellectual property rights;

•difficulties in enforcing contractual rights; and

•war, conflict, geopolitical tensions and other political, economic and social instability, terrorist attacks and security concerns, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the war in Iran and other armed conflicts in the Middle East, and escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, all of which could result in adverse consequences for the Company’s interests in different regions of the world.

Global geopolitical tensions and actions that governments take in response and the resulting global and regional economic downturns have had and may in the future adversely impact the Company’s ability to operate in such regions. For example, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and responses thereto have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and results of operations in affected regions, including the continued suspension of the Company’s operations across the Company’s 54 theaters in the region. Three theaters in Israel and one theater in Lebanon have been impacted by closures or are operating in limited capacity due to the Iran war. The other 31 of the Company’s 35 theaters in the Middle East region remain fully operational. Furthermore, disruptions to key global shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, have and may continue to adversely affect global supply chains by increasing transportation time and cost as well as increasing uncertainty in the availability of critical goods and services, which may in turn impact the Company’s operations. Given the uncertainty as to the scope, intensity, duration and outcome of geopolitical conflicts, it is difficult to predict the full extent of the adverse impacts of geopolitical conflicts on the Company’s business and results of operations. Additionally, given the global nature of the Company’s operations, any protracted conflict or the broader macroeconomic impact of geopolitical conflicts and sanctions imposed in response thereto, have had and could continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and future performance and may also magnify the impact of other risks described herein, including the risk of cybersecurity attacks, which may impact information technology systems unrelated to the conflict, or jeopardize critical infrastructure in jurisdictions where the Company operates.

While the Company has implemented policies, internal controls, and other measures reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to doing business internationally, any violations of these laws and regulations, or even allegations of such a violation, could disrupt the Company’s operations and harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, changes in United States or Canadian foreign policy can present additional risks or uncertainties as the Company continues to expand its international operations. Opening and operating theaters in markets that have experienced geopolitical or sociopolitical unrest or controversy, including through partnerships with local entities, exposes the Company to the risks listed above, as well as additional risks of operating in a volatile region. Such risks may negatively impact the Company’s business operations in such regions and may also harm the Company’s brand. Moreover, a deterioration of the diplomatic relations between the United States or Canada and a particular country may impede the Company’s ability to conduct business in that country and have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and future growth prospects.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On June 12, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million share repurchase program for its common shares that would have expired on June 30, 2020, which was subsequently extended through June 30, 2027 and increased to a

(1)On June 12, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million share repurchase program for its common shares that would have expired on June 30, 2020, which was subsequently extended through June 30, 2027 and increased to a total share repurchase authority to $500.0 million under the current share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $237.0 million available under the program. The repurchases may be made either in the open market or through private transactions, including repurchases made pursuant to a plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The Company has no obligation to repurchase shares and the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued by the Company at any time. No plan or program expired or was terminated during the period covered by this table, and the Company has not determined to terminate the program prior to its expiration.

In 2025, IMAX China’s shareholders granted its Board of Directors a general mandate authorizing IMAX China’s Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, to repurchase shares of IMAX China not to exceed 10% of the total number of issued shares as of June 12, 2025 (33,919,122 shares). This program expired on the date of the 2026 Annual General Meeting of IMAX China on June 11, 2026. During IMAX China’s 2026 Annual General Meeting, shareholders granted its Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, to repurchase shares of IMAX China not to exceed 10% of the total number of shares as of June 11, 2026 (33,988,722 shares). This program will be valid until the 2027 Annual General Meeting of IMAX China. The repurchases may be made in the open market or through other means permitted by applicable laws. IMAX China has no obligation to repurchase its shares and the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued by IMAX China at any time. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, IMAX China did not repurchase any shares.

(Refer to Note 13 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements in its 2025 Form 10-K Part I, Item 1 for a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Company’s revolving credit facility, which includes a limitation of the amount of permitted share repurchases.)

(c)Rule 10b5-1 and Non-Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements.

On September 10, 2026, Robert D. Lister, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer & Senior Executive Vice President, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act (“Item 408”) and such arrangement, the “Lister Plan”) for the sale of up to 30,000 common shares of the Company. Sales under the Lister Plan, which was previously disclosed in a Company subsidiary filing, may commence on December 10, 2026, after the completion of the required cooling off period under Rule 10b5-1. The Lister Plan will terminate on June 9, 2027, or earlier if all shares under the Lister Plan have been sold. This trading arrangement is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c).

On September 14, 2026, Richard Gelfond, the CEO, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408 and such arrangement, the “Gelfond Plan”) for (i) the sale of 200,000 common shares; (ii) the exercise of 522,979 of stock options granted in January 2019 (the “Options”), which are due to expire on January 2, 2029, and the sale of up to 522,979 common shares underlying the Options; and (iii) the sale of an additional undetermined number of common shares to be received by Mr. Gelfond upon the vesting
