40、019 increased 3.6%,or$15.4 million to an all-time quarterly record of$443.2 million as compared to the prior year period,primarily due to increases in media and food service revenues.Media revenues increased 20.1%,to an all-time quarterly record of$69.5 million as a result of all-time quarterly reco
41、rds for both Cinema Media which grew by$2.0 million to$42.2 million due to increased in-theatre advertising and Digital Placed-Based Media which increased by$9.6 million to$27.4 million as a result of higher project installation revenues.Theatre food service revenues increased$3.7 million(3.3%)to a
42、fourth quarter record of$114.7 million as a result of a fourth quarter record CPP of$6.81,despite a 0.8%decrease in theatre attendance.Combined with the increased results from LBE due to additional locations of The Rec Room and the recently launched reinvented Playdium,total food service revenues in
43、creased$4.4 million(3.7%)to a fourth quarter record of$125.2 million.Box office revenues decreased$0.6 million(0.3%)to$181.8 million due to the decrease in attendance,partially offset by a fourth quarter record BPP of$10.79.Amusement revenues were flat compared to the prior year at$53.5 million due
44、to decreased route revenue at P1AG which was offset by the impact of the growth in LBE locations.General and administrative(“G&A”)costs increased$16.2 million due to costs related to the Cineworld Transaction and share-based compensation expenses as a result of the terms of the Arrangement Agreement
45、.Despite the all-time quarterly record for revenue,Cineplex reported adjusted EBITDAaL of$62.3 million,a decrease of$17.7 million or 22.1%as compared to the prior year period primarily due to expenses related to the Cineworld Transaction in the amount of$11.7 million.Net income was negatively impact
46、ed by these transaction costs and$12.1 million of non-cash interest expenses arising as a result of the Arrangement Agreement.The adoption of IFRS 16 also negatively impacted net income by approximately$5.8 million as compared to 2018.In total,net income was negatively impacted by$23.4 million or$0.
47、37 per share as compared to 2018.Adjusted free cash flow per Share decreased 35.7%to$0.618 per Share.Total revenues of$1.7 billion for the year ended December 31,2019 increased 3.3%,or$52.7 million compared to the prior year as a result of all-time annual records for food service,media and amusement
48、 revenues.The 4.2%decrease in theatre attendance more than offset the$0.17(1.6%)increase in BPP to an all-time annual record of$10.63 resulting in an$18.7 million(2.6%)decrease to box office revenues.However,as a result of an all-time record for CPP at$6.73,theatre food service revenues increased$5.
49、9 million(1.3%)to an all-time record of$446.6 million.Total media revenues increased$33.9 million(20.8%)to an all-time annual record of$196.8 million due to all-time annual records for cinema Cineplex Inc.Managements Discussion and AnalysisCINEPLEX INC.2019 ANNUAL REPORTMANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION&ANALYS
50、IS5media and digital placed-based media revenues.Amusement revenues increased$22.4 million(10.9%)to an all-time annual record of$228.2 million due to increased route revenues and distribution sales from P1AG and the growth in the LBE locations.Adjusted EBITDAaL decreased 6.8%from$247.3 million to$23
51、0.5 million mainly due to the increase of G&A due to costs related to the Cineworld Transaction.Net income was negatively impacted by these transaction costs and$12.1 million of non-cash interest expenses arising as a result of the Arrangement Agreement.The adoption of IFRS 16 also negatively impact
52、ed net income by approximately$25.5 million as compared to 2018.In total,net income was negatively impacted by$43.1 million or$0.68 per share as compared to 2018.Adjusted free cash flow per Share decreased 7.9%,from$2.887 in 2018 to$2.660 in 2019.On January 1,2019,Cineplex adopted the new accounting
53、 standard IFRS 16,Leases(“IFRS 16”).The new standard has a significant impact on the balance sheet,statement of operations and statement of cash flows.Under the provisions of this standard,substantially all of Cineplexs leases are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and correspondin
54、g lease obligations.Depreciation and interest expense related to the right-of-use asset and lease obligations are deducted in computing net income.As a result,there is a significant impact on EBITDA,as well as impacts on net income and earnings per share.There is no impact on adjusted free cash flow
55、.Cineplex has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and as a result the standard has been applied prospectively and comparative historical information has not been restated.Accordingly,new non-GAAP measures including adjusted EBITDAaL and associated adjusted EBITDAaL margin have
56、been introduced to ensure comparability of periods.Adjusted EBITDAaL represents adjusted EBITDA as previously calculated reduced by current period cash rent which is allocated between interest expense and a reduction of the lease obligation under IFRS 16(see Section 18,Non-GAAP measures).Presentatio
57、n of prior period results have been revised to provide a similar comparator to the current period.During the quarter ended September 30,2019,Cineplex initiated a review process of WGNs online esports business,engaging a third-party adviser to identify a strategic equity partner.Cineplex may retain a
58、 minority equity interest in the operations of the business.Cineplex has measured,presented and disclosed the financial information of WGN as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5,Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations(“IFRS 5”).As a result,prior period figures hav
59、e been retroactively restated to exclude the results related to discontinued operations.Other than where disclosed,discussions of results in the MD&A reference amounts for continuing operations only.1.2 KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN 2019 The following describes certain key business initiatives undertaken and

168、anagements Discussion and AnalysisCINEPLEX INC.2019 ANNUAL REPORTMANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION&ANALYSIS16A key component of Cineplexs business strategy is to position itself as the leading exhibitor in the Canadian market by focusing on providing customers with an exceptional entertainment experience.Cinep
169、lexs share of the Canadian theatre exhibition market based on Canadian industry box office revenues was approximately 75%for the quarter and year ended December 31,2019.As a result of Cineplexs focus on diversifying the business beyond the traditional movie exhibition model,its revenue mix has shift
170、ed from box office revenue to other revenue sources.The commercial appeal of the films and alternative content released during a given period,and the success of marketing as well as promotion for those films by film studios,distributors and content providers all drive theatre attendance.BPP is affec
171、ted by the mix of film and alternative content product that appeals to certain audiences(such as children or seniors who pay lower ticket prices),ticket prices during a given period and the appeal of premium priced product available.While BPP is negatively impacted by the SCENE loyalty program and t
172、he Cineplex Tuesdays program,these programs are designed to increase theatre attendance frequency at Cineplexs theatres.Cineplexs main focus is to drive incremental visits to theatres,to employ a ticket price strategy which takes into account the local demographics at each individual theatre and to
173、maximize BPP through premium offerings.Food service revenues are comprised primarily of concession revenues,arising from food and beverage sales at theatre locations,as well as food and beverage sales at LBE venues including The Rec Room and Playdium.CPP represents theatre food service revenues divi
174、ded by theatre attendance,and is impacted by the theatre food service product mix,theatre food service prices,film genre,promotions and the issuance and redemption of SCENE points on the purchases of food and beverages at theatres.Films targeted to families and teenagers tend to result in a higher C
175、PP and more adult-oriented product tends to result in a lower CPP.As a result,CPP can fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on the genre of film product playing.The SCENE points issued and redeemed on theatre food service purchases decreases food service revenues on individual purchases.Cinepl
176、ex believes the program drives incremental purchase incidence,increasing overall revenues.Cineplex focuses primarily on growing CPP by optimizing the product offerings,improving operational excellence and strategic pricing to increase purchase incidence and transaction value.Food service revenues fr
177、om LBE include food and beverage revenues from the various bars and restaurants located throughout the venues.Media revenues include both cinema media(Cineplex Media)and digital place-based media(Cineplex Digital Media)revenues.Cineplex Media generates revenues primarily from selling pre-show and sh
178、ow-time advertising in Cineplexs theatres as well as other circuits through representation sales agreements and magazine advertising for Cineplex Magazine.Additionally,Cineplex Media sells media placements throughout Cineplexs circuit including digital poster cases,IMZ in select Cineplex theatre lob
179、bies,as well as sponsorship and advertising in LBE venues.Cineplex Media also sells digital advertising for ,the Cineplex mobile app and on third party networks operated by Cineplex Digital Media.Cineplex Digital Media designs,installs,maintains and operates digital signage networks in four vertical
180、s including digital out of home(in public spaces such as shopping malls and office towers),quick service restaurants,financial institutions and retailers.Amusement revenues include amusement solutions revenues from P1AG,which supplies and services all of the games in Cineplexs theatre circuit while
181、also supplying equipment to third party arcades,amusement parks and centres,bowling alleys and theatre circuits across Canada and the United States,in addition to owning and operating family entertainment centres.Additionally,included in amusement revenues are revenues generated by Cineplexs XSCAPE

183、pensesFilm cost represents the film rental fees paid to distributors on films exhibited in Cineplex theatres.Film costs are calculated as a percentage of box office revenue and are dependent on various factors including the performance of the film.Film costs are accrued on the related box office rec
184、eipts at either mutually agreed-upon terms established prior to the opening of the film,or estimated terms where a mutually agreed settlement is reached upon conclusion of the films run,depending upon the film licensing arrangement.There can be significant variances in film cost percentage between q
185、uarters due to,among other things,the concentration of box office revenues amongst the top films in the period with stronger performing films having a higher film cost percentage.Cineplex Inc.Managements Discussion and AnalysisCINEPLEX INC.2019 ANNUAL REPORTMANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION&ANALYSIS17Cost of f
186、ood service represents the cost of concession items and other theatre food service items sold and varies with changes in concession and other theatre food service revenues as well as the quantity and mix of concession and other food service offerings sold.Cost of food and beverages sold at LBE is al
187、so included in cost of food service.Depreciation-right-of-use assets,represents the depreciation of Cineplexs right-of-use assets related to leases.Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of commencement of the lease to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset
188、 or the end of the lease term.Depreciation and amortization-other,represents the depreciation and amortization of Cineplexs property,equipment and leaseholds,as well as certain of its intangible assets.Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the
189、 assets.Loss on disposal of assets represents the loss recognized on assets or components of assets that were sold or otherwise disposed.Other costs are comprised of theatre occupancy expenses,other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses.These categories are described below.Theat
190、re occupancy expenses include lease related expenses,percentage rent,property related taxes,business related taxes and insurance and exclude cash rent.Other operating expenses consist of fixed and variable expenses,with the largest component being theatre salaries and wages.Although theatre salaries
191、 and wages include a fixed cost component,these expenses vary in relation to revenues as theatre staffing levels are adjusted to handle fluctuations in theatre attendance.Other components of this category include marketing and advertising,media,amusement and leisure(including P1AG and LBE),loyalty i
192、ncluding SCENE,digital commerce,supplies and services,utilities and maintenance.General and administrative expenses are primarily costs associated with managing Cineplexs business,including film buying,marketing and promotions,operations and theatre food service management,accounting and financial r
193、eporting,legal,treasury,design and construction,real estate development,communications and investor relations,information systems and administration.Included in these costs are payroll(including the long-term incentive plan(“LTIP”)and Share option plan costs),occupancy costs related to Cineplexs cor
