IMAX CHINA Records 66% Profit Drop in First Half of Fiscal Year 2026

Stock News07-23

IMAX CHINA (01970) has released its financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026, reporting a significant downturn in performance.

Revenue for the period stood at $34.449 million, a decrease of 40.4% year-over-year. Net profit fell to $8.104 million, down 66.08% compared to the same period last year. Earnings per share were $0.02.

A primary factor behind the earnings decline was a sharp contraction in content solutions revenue. This segment dropped from $20.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2025 to $6.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2026, representing a 69.7% reduction. The company attributed this to lower box office revenue and a significant decline in the proportion of local language film box office during the current period, which compressed the group's box office commission rate.

Box office revenue from films in the IMAX format also saw a steep fall. It decreased from $205.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2025 to $91.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2026, a decline of 55.5%.

For context, the first half of fiscal 2025 had benefited from record-breaking box office totals during the Chinese New Year holiday, headlined by "Ne Zha 2" which earned $160 million and became the highest-grossing IMAX film ever released in mainland China. This exceptional performance was not replicated in the first half of fiscal 2026.
