AMC's financial position deteriorated significantly with net losses nearly doubling to -$632.4M, cash declining 32% to $428.5M, and operating cash flows worsening to -$119.8M despite completing major debt refinancing.
The dramatic worsening of financial performance, combined with substantial cash burn and declining liquidity, signals intensifying financial distress despite management's debt restructuring efforts.
