Acquisition of Captivate On August 10, 2026, NCM entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Captivate Holdings, LLC (“Captivate”), the leading operator of digital video elevator and lobby advertising in North America, at an enterprise value of $275.0 million. The transaction will be funded with $275.0 million of new committed term debt, with available cash used to refinance the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and fund transaction expenses. NCM expects to generate more than $3.5 million of annual run-rate cost synergies within the first year following close of the acquisition, primarily through the elimination of duplicative corporate overhead and the consolidation of executive and administrative functions. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Until closing, NCM and Captivate will continue to operate independently in the ordinary course. Additional details are available in the Company’s press release dated August 11, 2026. Dividend In connection with the proposed acquisition of Captivate and expected leverage at closing, NCM has paused its quarterly dividend program.

6 NATIONAL CINEMEDIA, INC Non-GAAP Reconciliations Unaudited Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted OIBDA”) and Adjusted OIBDA margin are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Adjusted OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization expense adjusted to also exclude non- cash share-based compensation costs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in Regal’s Chapter 11 case (the “Cineworld Proceeding”) and NCM LLC's Chapter 11 Case (the “Chapter 11 Case”). Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate operating performance, to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes this is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it eliminates items that have less bearing on its operating performance and highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies, non-cash share-based compensation programs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and Chapter 11 Case, interest rates, debt levels or income tax rates. Adjusted OIBDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate operating performance, to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes this is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it eliminates items that have less bearing on its operating performance and highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies, non-cash share- based compensation programs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and Chapter 11 Case, interest rates, debt levels or income tax rates. A limitation of both of these measures, however, is that they exclude depreciation and amortization, which represent a proxy for the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in NCM LLC’s business. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin have the limitation of not reflecting the effect of the Company’s non-cash share-based compensation costs, workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs and advisor fees related to involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and the Chapter 11 Case. Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income, net income or as indicators of operating performance, nor should it be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted OIBDA, and operating margin is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted OIBDA margin. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, or calculations in NCM LLC’s debt agreement. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted OIBDA measure to forward- looking GAAP operating income due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company’s control on certain items, including the timing of revenue and charges reflected in our reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant and are difficult to reasonably predict. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended July 2, 2026 June 26, 2025 July 2, 2026 June 26, 2025 Share-based compensation costs included in network operating costs $ 0.1 $ 0.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 Share-based compensation costs included in selling and marketing costs 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.7 Share-based compensation costs included in administrative and other costs 2.0 2.4 3.3 4.7 Total share-based compensation costs $ 2.4 $ 2.9 $ 4.0 $ 5.6 (2) Workforce and system transformation costs represent charges incurred in conjunction with the transformation initiative announced in Q1 2026 to increase operational efficiencies and allow for the ultimate automation of certain functions (the "2026 Transformation Initiative"). In 2025, these represent redundancy costs associated with changes to the Company’s workforce, as well as related office relocations, a one-time assessment of the technology surrounding the Company's programmatic offerings and an assessment of operating efficiencies. (3) One-time duplicative costs incurred during the transition from satellite to broadband network delivery during 2026. (4) Advisor and legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of Spotlight in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as temporary transition costs incurred during the integration of Spotlight into the Company's processes during the first and second quarters of 2026. (5) Advisor and legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s involvement in the Cineworld Proceeding and Chapter 11 Case and related appeals, as well as insurance and retention related expenses. Adjusted Net Loss and Loss per Share Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are calculated using reported net loss and net loss per share and exclude workforce and system transformation costs, satellite transition costs, Spotlight acquisition and integration costs, advisor fees related to the Cineworld Proceeding and the Chapter 11 Case and loss on re-measurement of the payable to ESA Parties under the tax receivable agreement. Our management use these non-GAAP financial measures as an additional tool to evaluate operating performance. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to a method used by the Company’s management and helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share should not be regarded as alternatives to net loss and net loss per share or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that net loss and net loss per share are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Because not
