Executive summary

  • Fiscal Q1 2026 results met expectations, with resort net revenue up 4% year-over-year to $270.9 million, driven by strong Australian performance and new pass offerings.

  • Net loss attributable to stockholders was $186.8 million, compared to $173.3 million in the prior year, reflecting seasonality and higher interest expense.

  • Resort Reported EBITDA loss was $139.7 million, flat year-over-year, as improved Australian visitation and cost savings offset inflation and increased marketing spend.

  • Marketing strategies shifted to increase paid media and social/influencer presence, resulting in improved fall pass sales and guest engagement.

  • New initiatives like Epic Friends Tickets and advanced lift ticket discounts aim to boost visitation and long-term guest value.

Financial highlights

  • Resort net revenue increased 4% year-over-year to $270.9 million, led by favorable weather in Australia and the Epic Australia 4-Day pass.

  • Net loss was $196.5 million, compared to $182.0 million in the prior year.

  • Mountain segment net revenue increased 6.9% to $185.2 million, with lift revenue up 22.8%.

  • Lodging net revenue was $81.9 million, down 2.3% year-over-year, with Lodging Reported EBITDA decreasing 33.4% to $2.9 million.

  • Operating cash flow was $315.9 million, up $33.2 million year-over-year, driven by lower tax payments and higher pass sales.

Outlook and guidance

  • Fiscal 2026 net income guidance reiterated at $201–$276 million; resort-reported EBITDA guidance at $842–$898 million.

  • Guidance assumes price increases, ancillary capture, $38 million in incremental efficiencies, and lower pass units impacting skier visits.

  • Early season weather factored into guidance; most primary earnings period still ahead.

  • Management expects existing cash, credit facilities, and operating cash flows to provide sufficient liquidity for ongoing operations and capital needs.

  • Capital plan for calendar year 2025 is expected to be $249–$254 million, including European and real estate investments.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
