Business Highlights

Mountain Segment Performance: The Mountain segment, which includes 42 destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas, experienced a 3.3% increase in lift revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to a 5.5% increase in pass revenue. However, skier visits declined by 3.7%, impacting non-pass lift ticket sales and ancillary lines of business.

Lodging Segment Performance: The Lodging segment saw a decrease in Reported EBITDA by 22.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to a reduction in available managed condominium rooms and decreased demand from Destination skier visitation.

Real Estate Segment Performance: The Real Estate segment recorded a significant gain on the sale of real property, contributing to a 683.2% increase in Reported EBITDA for the three months ended April 30, 2025. This was driven by the sale of three real estate parcels in Breckenridge, Colorado.

Geographical Performance: North American Resorts experienced a decline in visitation, particularly at western destination resorts, due to a decrease in lift ticket guests. However, improved early season conditions at Eastern U.S. Resorts and western North American Resorts contributed positively to the overall performance.

Pass Product Sales: For the 2025/2026 North American ski season, pass product sales decreased by approximately 1% in units but increased by approximately 2% in sales dollars through May 27, 2025, compared to the prior year.

Australian Operations: The Australian ski areas faced weather-related challenges, impacting terrain and resulting in early closures, which negatively affected the Mountain segment's performance.

Future Outlook: Vail Resorts anticipates continued strong performance from its pass program, which drives customer loyalty and mitigates weather-related risks. The company remains focused on maintaining high-quality standards and investing in capital improvements to enhance the guest experience.
