The ski resort operator reported a diluted loss per share of $5.20, fractionally worse than the $5.17 consensus estimate, while revenue of $271.03 million trailed analyst expectations of $277.59 million by 2.36%, even as it grew 4.1% year over year. The net loss widened to $186.75 million from $173.25 million a year ago, driven in large part by higher interest expense of $51.29 million compared to $42.80 million in the prior-year period. Separately, early North American season pass data through December 5 offered mixed signals, with unit sales down approximately 2% though dollar sales rose approximately 3% on a 7% price increase. Shares faced additional pressure from concerns about below-average snowfall at key western resorts, though management reaffirmed full-year Resort Reported EBITDA guidance of $842 million to $898 million, signaling confidence that the season can recover.

Key Takeaways

  • Improved visitation at Australian ski resorts due to favorable weather conditions and Epic Australia Day Pass introduction
  • 7% price increase on season pass products drove 3% increase in pass sales dollars despite 2% unit decline
  • Resource Efficiency Transformation cost savings partially offsetting inflation
  • Total skier visits increased 34.9% to 739,000 driven by Australian season
  • Increased marketing spend and updated marketing strategy improved late-period pass product sales trends
