Can AMC Entertainment Avoid Bankruptcy?
Many people (myself included) are longing for the day we can go back to movie theaters. But perhaps a better question to ask today is: will there even be movie theaters to go back to?
Perhaps the answer is yes and no. For small, independent movie theaters across the country, it may have been difficult or impossible to obtain the bridge financing needed to keep the business afloat. PPP loans helped early-on in the crisis, and more money for loans just passed with the new stimulus bill. But it may not be enough for these businesses.
Larger chains, like AMC Entertainment Holdings, have had more luck. This week, AMC announced it had signed deals for $917 million in financing to secure its business until late 2021. The influx of cash has come from raising $506 million in equity deals and $411 in debt financing, underscoring investor's appetite for risk and extreme levels of liquidity available in the capital markets. Indeed, many credit ratings firms have lowered their expectations for corporate defaults in 2021, given continued government support, the ability to refinance, and optimism that mass immunization will happen in 2021 -- a big "if."
