Top 10 Recreation Companies To Own For 2014

Q2 earnings season is upon us. Most of us are accustomed to the ups and downs of the market during this time. While sometimes frightening, the thrill often brings us back for more.

Herein lies the same theme, if you will, with theme park stocks. This is a seasonal industry. Its revenue charts seem to replicate the very rollercoasters they��e known for. A summer bounce across the recreational service sector may be primed by such amusements.

Reflecting this, the Leisure and Recreational Services Industry climbed +92 positions this week to sit at a Zack�� Industry Rank of #115 out of 259 industries. The industry demonstrated 14 positive earnings estimate revisions compared to 9 negative revisions, with an average positive Earnings per Share (EPS) surprise of +14%.

Several different attractions are included in this category, including movie theaters, concerts and cruise lines. Looking closely revealed specific strength in amusement parks. And two well-known amusement park companies stood as tall as their rollercoasters. Overcoming high price-to-earnings ratios, these two amusement park stocks seemingly have further to climb before the summer is over.

IMAX Systems, Theater System Maintenance and Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements

The Company provides IMAX theater systems to customers on a sales or long-term lease basis with an initial 10-year term. These agreements consist of initial fees and ongoing fees (which can include a fixed minimum amount per annum and contingent fees in excess of the minimum payments) and maintenance and extended warranty fees. The initial fees vary depending on the system configuration and location of the theater and generally are paid to the Company in installments between the time of system signing and the time of system installation. Ongoing fees are paid over the term of the contract, commencing after the theater system has been installed and are generally equal to the greater of a fixed minimu! m amount per annum or a percentage of boxoffice receipts.

In a typical IMAX DMR film arrangement, the Company will receive a percentage of net box-office receipts of any commercial films released in the IMAX network, which is generally 10-15%, from a film studio for the conversion of the film to the IMAX DMR format and access to its distribution platform.

The Company is also a distributor of large-format films, primarily catering to its institution! al theate! r partners. The Company generally distributes films, which it produces or for which it has acquired distribution rights from independent producers. The Company generally receives a percentage of the theater box-office receipts as a distribution fee. Films produced by the Company are typically financed through third parties, whereby the Company will generally receive a film production fee in exchange for producing the film and a distribution fee for distributing the film.

Pictures (WB) and MacGillivray Freeman Films (MFF) released an original title, To the Artic 3D: An IMAX 3D Experience.

The Company derives a small portion of its revenues from other sources. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had four owned and operated theaters.
