Vail Resorts Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026
-
Second quarter results were heavily impacted by record-low snowfall in the Rockies, leading to lower revenue and EBITDA, but strong pass sales and diversification provided stability. Fiscal 2026 guidance was reduced, and new initiatives target younger skiers and enhanced guest experience.
-
Fiscal Q1 2026 saw 4% revenue growth and flat EBITDA, with strong Australian results and improved fall pass sales from new marketing and product initiatives. Guidance for FY26 is reiterated, with $1.5B liquidity and major capital investments planned.
Fiscal Year 2025

The meeting covered board changes, with all director nominees elected and outgoing members recognized. Shareholders approved the auditor and executive compensation proposals by majority vote. Final results will be published in a Form 8-K.
-
Fiscal 2025 saw stable EBITDA growth despite lower skier visits and pass sales. Fiscal 2026 guidance projects modest growth, driven by price increases, cost efficiencies, and new guest engagement strategies, while capital investments and share repurchases continue.
-
Fiscal Q3 saw stable revenue and EBITDA growth despite a 7% drop in visitation, with strong ancillary spend and cost discipline offsetting lower lift ticket sales. Updated 2025 guidance reflects one-time CEO transition costs and continued investment in guest experience.

Q2 FY25 saw 8% EBITDA growth and higher net income year-over-year, with strong local visitation and ancillary spend offsetting lower destination visits. FY25 guidance is unchanged at the midpoint, with $841M–$877M EBITDA expected, and $249M–$254M in capital investments planned.
-
Q1 FY25 saw stable EBITDA, with North American growth offset by Australian weather impacts. Pass sales dollars rose 4% despite a 2% unit decline, and guidance for net income was raised on a property sale gain. Capital investments and a $100M efficiency plan are underway.
Fiscal Year 2024

The meeting confirmed a quorum, re-elected all twelve directors, ratified the auditor, approved executive compensation, and passed the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan. No shareholder proposals or questions were received. Final results will be filed in a Form 8-K.
-
Fiscal 2024 saw resilient financial performance despite a 9.5% drop in skier visits due to weather and industry normalization. FY25 guidance anticipates stable EBITDA, cost efficiencies from a transformation plan, and continued capital returns to shareholders.
