Dow Jones11-05

By Nicholas G. Miller

 

Cinemark reported lower profit and sales in the third quarter, which analysts say featured a weaker slate of movie releases, but increased its dividend and authorized a new share repurchase program.

The movie theater company posted net income of $50.5 million, or 40 cents a share attributable to the company, down from $188.9 million, or $1.19 a share attributable to the company, the year prior. Analysts expected 48 cents a share, according to FactSet.

Sales fell 7% to $857.5 million. Wall Street expected $841.4 million.

Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey said in a note last month the third quarter lacked significant blockbuster movies, which weighed on sales especially in comparison to the year prior, which featured a strong slate of releases.

The company said its board authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program and a 12.5% increase of the company's quarterly dividend to 9 cents a share.
