BROOMFIELD, Colo., Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vail Resorts, Inc. $(MTN)$ today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 ended October 31, 2025, provided North American season pass sales results for the 2025/2026 ski season, reaffirmed full-year fiscal 2026 guidance and announced capital investment plans for calendar year 2026.
Highlights
-- Q1 fiscal 2026 net loss attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. was $186.8
million compared to a net loss attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc of
$173.3 million in the prior year.
-- Q1 fiscal 2026 Resort Reported EBITDA loss was $139.7 million, flat with
the prior year.
-- North American pass product sales through December 5, 2025 for the
upcoming 2025/2026 ski season decreased approximately 2% in units and
increased approximately 3% in sales dollars compared to the same selling
period in the prior year.
-- The Company reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 guidance, including net income
attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. of $201 million to $276 million and
Resort Reported EBITDA of $842 million to $898 million.
-- For calendar year 2026, the Company announced plans to invest
approximately $215 million to $220 million in core capital, consistent
with long-term capital guidance. Total capital spending is expected to be
$234 million to $239 million, which includes additional growth
investments at European resorts and in Resource Efficiency Transformation
projects.
-- The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.22 per share of Vail
Resorts' common stock that will be payable on January 12, 2026 to
shareholders of record as of December 30, 2025. In addition, the Company
repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares in November at an average
price of approximately $140 per share for a total of $25 million.
"Our first quarter results were in line with our expectations and importantly, we're seeing encouraging early momentum from our key initiatives to drive visitation during the 2025/2026 ski season, deepen our guest engagement, and create exceptional guest experiences," said Rob Katz, Chief Executive Officer of Vail Resorts. "We are taking decisive actions to support these priorities, as evidenced by the introduction of our new advanced lift ticket discount for guests who book at least a month in advance at select resorts, in addition to our Epic Friend tickets announced in August. We are encouraged by the initial response to our updated marketing strategy and investments focused on expanding our reach, which drove improved pass product sales results in the final selling period. These efforts are a part of a multi-year strategy that leverages our unique competitive advantages to drive sustained, profitable growth, and we remain confident in our ability to make improvements that reaccelerate growth in fiscal 2027 and beyond."
First Quarter Operating Results
-- Resort Net Revenue increased $10.7 million, or 4%, compared to the prior
year, which was in line with expectations and primarily driven by
improved visitation at Australian ski resorts, due to favorable weather
conditions and the benefit from the introduction of the Epic Australia
Day Pass.
-- Resort Reported EBITDA was flat compared to the prior year, primarily
driven by favorability from weather normalization in Australia and
continued Resource Efficiency Transformation cost savings, offset by
typical inflation in year-round overhead costs, increased marketing spend
aimed at driving winter pass product sales, and one-time Resource
Efficiency Transformation Plan costs.
-- Mountain Reported EBITDA increased $1.5 million compared to the
prior year, which was driven by improved Australian visitation,
partially offset by inflation in year-round overhead costs,
increased marketing efforts, and one-time Resource Efficiency
Transformation Plan costs.
-- Lodging Reported EBITDA decreased $1.5 million compared to the
prior year primarily due to decreased demand for summer group
lodging at North American mountain resort properties, partially
offset by increased visitation at the Grand Teton Lodge Company
driven by favorable weather conditions.
-- Real Estate EBITDA decreased $3.6 million compared to the prior year
period. During the quarter, the Company recorded a $13.0 million gain on
the sale of real property related to a transaction in Breckenridge. This
compares to a $16.5 million gain recognized in the same period in the
prior year from the condemnation of the East Vail property.
Season Pass Sales
North American pass product sales for the upcoming 2025/2026 ski season through December 5, 2025 decreased approximately 2% in units and increased approximately 3% in sales dollars compared to the same selling period in the prior year. Pass product sales are adjusted to exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency. This year's results benefited from a 7% price increase compared to the prior year, partially offset by the mix impact of passes sold. The decline in units is driven primarily by declines in our Colorado, Utah and Tahoe local drive-to markets as units from destination markets were only down slightly.
For the period between September 20, 2025 and December 5, 2025, pass product sales trends improved relative to pass product sales through September 19, 2025, with units down approximately 1% and sales dollars growth of approximately 6% compared to the same selling period in the prior year, reflecting the benefit of increased paid media investments and change in marketing approach.
With the results for the full selling season, the Company has approximately 2.3 million guests committed to our 42 North American, Australian, and European resorts in advance of the season in non-refundable advanced commitment products this year, which are expected to generate approximately $1 billion of revenue and account for approximately 74% of all skier visits (excluding complimentary visits).
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
While pass product sales improved slightly from September, the North American ski season has just begun with the Company's primary earnings period still ahead. Given current indicators, including the slow start to the season across its western North American resorts, the Company is reaffirming prior fiscal 2026 guidance provided on September 29, 2025:
-- Net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. of $201 million to $276
million.
-- Resort Reported EBITDA of $842 million to $898 million.
-- Resource Efficiency Transformation plan remains on track to achieve $38
million in additional savings in fiscal 2026 over the prior year, with
continued expectations to exceed the cumulative $100 million annualized
run rate by fiscal 2027. The Company will provide more details in March
2026.
The guidance also assumes (1) a continuation of the current economic environment, (2) normal weather conditions for the 2025/2026 North American and European ski season and the 2026 Australian ski season, and (3) the foreign currency exchange rates as of our original fiscal 2026 guidance issued September 29, 2025.
Liquidity and Return of Capital
The Company's balance sheet and cash flow generation remain strong. The Company remains committed to a disciplined and balanced approach as stewards of its shareholders' capital that continues to prioritize investments that enhance the guest and employee experience, high-return capital projects, and strategic acquisition opportunities. After these priorities, the Company is focused on returning excess capital to shareholders. In the current environment, the Company looks to balance its approach between share repurchases and dividends. The current dividend level reflects the strong cash flow generation of the business with any future growth in the dividend dependent on a material increase in expected future cash flows. The Company also maintains an opportunistic approach to share repurchases based on the value of the shares.
-- As of October 31, 2025, the Company's total liquidity as measured by
total cash plus revolver availability and delayed draw term loan
availability was approximately $1.5 billion.
-- Net Debt was 3.0 times trailing twelve months Total Reported EBITDA.
-- The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.22 per
share. The dividend will be payable on January 12, 2026 to shareholders
of record as of December 30, 2025.
-- The Company additionally repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares in
November at an average price of approximately $140 per share for a total
of $25 million.
Capital Investments
Vail Resorts is committed to differentiating the guest experience and supporting the Company's growth strategies through significant capital investments in the resort experience. For calendar year 2026, the Company plans to invest approximately $215 million to $220 million in core capital, consistent with its long-term capital investment guidance, which adjusts for expected inflation and includes the impact of tariffs. In addition to the core capital plan, the Company plans to invest $12 million of growth capital investments at its European resorts, $5 million of Resource Efficiency Transformation projects, and $2 million in real estate planning capital. Including these investments, the Company plans to invest a total of approximately $234 million to $239 million in calendar year 2026. The Company will continue to strategically deploy discretionary capital across its portfolio, with the 2026 capital plan focused on impactful resort-specific investments at destination and regional resorts, technology investments that scale across our resorts and investments that drive overall
sustainability and efficiency. Highlights of the high impact resort-specific investments planned for calendar year 2026 include:
-- Park City Mountain -- As a part of a multi-year transformational
investment at Canyons Village base, the Company plans to replace the
existing 8-passenger Cabriolet lift with a 10-passenger gondola. This
upgrade will significantly increase capacity from the lower and
mid-village areas to the upper village, creating a more seamless
connection between multiple gondolas and the new parking garage, while
also enhancing reliability and comfort during inclement weather. These
improvements are designed to elevate the guest arrival experience and
support the long-term development and future growth of the resort.
-- Whistler Blackcomb -- The Company plans to replace the Showcase T-Bar
lift with a fixed-grip quad chairlift, which will provide more consistent
and improved access to the Blackcomb Glacier, which offers 215 acres of
exceptional terrain.
-- Dining Experience -- The Company will invest in strategic upgrades to
elevate dining experiences across its portfolio. Projects include
remodels at high-volume lodges such as Whistler Blackcomb's Roundhouse
Lodge, Beaver Creek's Spruce Saddle, Keystone's Timber Ridge, and
Hunter's Base Lodge Marketplace. These enhancements will improve guest
flow, expand seating, introduce modern coffee bars and lively bar
experiences, expand menu offerings, and create vibrant social spaces.
Scaled dining optimization initiatives will additionally improve seating
efficiency and throughput at quick-service outlets, driving capture and
enhancing overall guest satisfaction.
-- Vail Mountain -- The Company will complete a major room renovation of the
Lodge at Vail to elevate the guest experience and strengthen its
competitive positioning in the market. In addition, the Company will
allocate incremental capital to advance the planning for the multi-year
transformation work announced last year, including the development of
West Lionshead area into a fourth base village at Vail Mountain.
-- Remote Avalanche Control Systems -- The Company is launching a multi-year
investment plan at select resorts to implement remote avalanche control
systems. These systems remotely trigger controlled avalanches, reducing
manual intervention and improving safety, reliability, and the guest
experience through faster, more consistent, and predictable terrain
openings. These systems are prevalent in Europe and the Company has
operated them at Andermatt-Sedrun and Crans-Montana.
-- Seven Springs -- The Company plans to upgrade the Blitzen triple lift to
a fixed-grip quad chairlift, which will ease congestion and reduce
bottlenecks at the current unload area, while enhancing reliability and
providing more efficient access to the North face side of the resort from
the main base area.
-- Keystone -- The Company plans to invest in the Keystone River Run Plaza
to complement the new portal experience with the new luxury Kindred hotel
project that is opening this season.
Highlights of the technology investments planned for calendar year 2026 include:
-- My Epic App -- The Company is planning significant investments in its My
Epic app to deepen guest engagement and streamline resort experiences.
Planned upgrades include adding native commerce functionality in the app
and expanding payment options into the website and the app with Apple Pay
and Google Pay integration. The enhanced user experience will feature
improved navigation and personalization while in the resort. These
investments reinforce the app's role as a central hub for planning,
purchasing, and real-time updates, driving both guest satisfaction and
operational efficiency.
-- Ski & Ride School -- The Company will continue its multi-year
transformation of Ski & Ride School operations, expanding digital
capabilities through the My Epic app. Vail Resorts plans to roll out
digital check-in, real-time updates, and progression tracking to 11
additional resorts in 2026, in addition to Vail, Beaver Creek,
Breckenridge, and Keystone which launched this season. Enhancements will
also improve instructor tools and supervisor functionality, streamline
operations, and deliver a more personalized, seamless experience for
guests and families.
-- Rental -- The Company plans to invest in its rental business to integrate
the My Epic Gear offering within the broader rental operations, which
will allow for a broader reach of the My Epic Gear guest experience in
fiscal 2027.
-- Marketing Capabilities -- The Company will invest in modernizing its
e-commerce platform through a migration to a new Content Management
System, enhancing personalization, flexibility, and speed to market for
reimagined products and experiences. Additionally, the Company will
invest in expanded capabilities to enable more agile pricing and product
changes to capture additional revenue opportunities and improve
operational efficiency.
Highlights of the efficiency and sustainability investments planned for calendar year 2026 include:
-- Resource Efficiency Transformation Plan -- Investments include upgraded
system capabilities to improve guest self-service capabilities and
expanded fraud prevention capabilities, in support of the Company's
Resource Efficiency Transformation Plan savings.
-- Okemo Mountain -- The Company plans to upgrade Okemo's snowmaking system
to increase production capacity to improve early-season terrain
availability and reduce energy consumption, further advancing its
Commitment to Zero sustainability efforts and driving operational
efficiencies.
Projects in the calendar year 2026 capital plan described herein remain subject to approvals.
In addition to the investments planned for calendar year 2026, the Company is completing significant calendar year 2025 investments that will enhance the guest experience for the upcoming 2025/2026 North American and European ski season. As previously announced, the Company expects its core capital plan for calendar year 2025 to be approximately $200 million to $203 million, and total capital investments of $247 million to $250 million including the $42 million of growth capital investments at its European resorts, and $5 million of real estate related capital projects.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measures
When reporting financial results, we use the terms Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Real Estate Cash Flow, which are not financial measures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Real Estate Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we report segment Reported EBITDA (i.e. Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate), the measure of segment profit or loss required to be disclosed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Additionally, with respect to discussion of impacts from currency, the Company calculates the impact by applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior period results, as the Company believes that comparing financial information using comparable foreign exchange rates is a more objective and useful measure of changes in operating performance.
Reported EBITDA (and its counterpart for each of our segments) has been presented herein as a measure of the Company's performance. The Company believes that Reported EBITDA is an indicative measurement of the Company's operating performance, and is similar to performance metrics generally used by investors to evaluate other companies in the resort and lodging industries. The Company defines Resort EBITDA Margin as Resort Reported EBITDA divided by Resort net revenue. The Company believes Resort EBITDA Margin is an important measurement of operating performance. The Company believes that Net Debt is an important measurement of liquidity as it is an indicator of the Company's ability to obtain additional capital resources for its future cash needs. Additionally, the Company believes Net Real Estate Cash Flow is important as a cash flow indicator for its Real Estate segment. See the tables provided in this release for reconciliations of our measures of segment profitability and non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation of the Resort Reported EBITDA guidance to net income guidance is included in the Company's press release dated September 29, 2025.
