Current report
The following discussion has been adjusted to reflect our revision of previously issued Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements to correct for prior period misstatements, which we concluded did not, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a material misstatement of our previously issued Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Further information regarding the revision is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 11, Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Current report
Mountain Reported EBITDA includes $5.4 million and $5.8 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Our first fiscal quarter historically results in negative Mountain Reported EBITDA, as most of our North American and European Resorts generally do not open for ski operations until our second fiscal quarter, which begins in November. The first fiscal quarter generally consists of operating and administrative expenses, North American and European summer activities
Current report
(including dining), retail/rental operations and the winter operations of our Australian ski areas, for which the ski season generally occurs from June through early October.
Current report
Mountain Reported EBITDA increased $1.5 million, or 1.0%, primarily driven by our Australian ski resorts from the impact of improved visitation, which was supported by improved weather conditions and the growth in pass sales for the 2025 Australian winter season, compared to the prior year, as well as savings attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan. The increase in Mountain Reported EBITDA was partially offset by the impact of inflation and one-time operating expenses attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan of $3.6 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as well as acquisition and integration related expenses of $0.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Lift revenue increased $9.2 million, or 22.8%, primarily due to an increase in pass product revenue for the 2025 Australian winter season ($4.5 million), driven by growth in Australian pass product sales, as well as improved visitation at our Australian ski resorts, compared to the prior year, which was supported by improved weather conditions and resulted in an increase in non-pass revenue.
Current report
Ski school revenue increased $1.0 million or 15.3% primarily driven by improved visitation at our Australian resorts, as well as increased lesson pricing. Dining revenue decreased $0.8 million or (4.1)% primarily as a result of decreased group demand at our Destination resorts compared to prior year, partially offset by increased revenue at our Australian resorts a result of improved visitation. Retail/rental revenue increased $1.3 million, or 4.3%, driven by improved visitation at our Australian resorts.
Current report
Labor and labor-related benefits increased 3.0%, primarily due to an increase in labor expense to support increased Australian operations as a result of improved weather conditions compared to the prior year. General and administrative expense increased 4.2%, due to an increase in corporate overhead costs, including marketing expenses, legal expenses, and information technology expenses, partially offset by savings attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan. Other expense increased 2.2%, primarily due to an increase in one-time costs relating to the resource efficiency transformation plan ($1.7 million) partially offset by a decrease in acquisition and integration related expenses ($0.8 million), as well as an increase in variable costs associated with the increased revenue at our Australian resorts.
Current report
Lodging Reported EBITDA decreased $1.5 million, or 33.4%, primarily due to decreased demand for summer group lodging at our North American mountain resort properties, partially offset by increased demand for lodging and park visitation at GTLC driven by favorable weather conditions.
Current report
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended October 31, 2025 increased $8.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.265% senior notes due 2030, issued under an indenture dated July 2, 2025.

Previous report
Lift revenue is driven by volume and pricing. Pricing is impacted by absolute pricing, as well as both the demographic and geographic mix of guests, which impacts the price points at which various products are purchased. The demographic mix of guests that visit our North American Resorts is divided into two primary categories: (i) out-of-state and international (“Destination”) guests and (ii) in-state and local (“Local”) guests. The geographic mix depends on levels of visitation to our destination mountain resorts versus our regional ski areas. For the 2024/2025 North American ski season, Destination guests comprised approximately 56% of our North American destination mountain resort skier visits (excluding complimentary access), while Local guests comprised approximately 44% of our North American destination mountain resort skier visits (excluding complimentary access), which compares to 57% and 43%, respectively, for the 2023/2024 North American ski season. Skier visitation at our regional ski areas is largely comprised of Local guests. Destination guests generally purchase our higher-priced lift tickets (including pass products) and utilize more ancillary services such as ski school, dining and retail/rental, as well as lodging at or around our mountain resorts. Additionally, Destination guest visitation is less likely to be impacted by changes in the weather during the current season, but may be more impacted by adverse economic conditions, the global geopolitical climate, travel disruptions or weather conditions in the immediately preceding ski season. Local guests tend to be more value-oriented and weather-sensitive.
Previous report
We offer a variety of pass products for all of our Resorts, marketed toward both Destination and Local guests. Our pass product offerings range from providing access to one or a combination of our Resorts for a certain number of days to our Epic Pass, which allows pass holders unlimited and unrestricted access to all of our Resorts. The Epic Day Pass is a customizable one to seven day pass product purchased in advance of the season, for those skiers and riders who expect to ski a certain number of days during the season, and which is available in three tiers of resort access offerings. Our pass products provide a compelling value proposition to our guests, which in turn assists us in developing a loyal base of customers who commit to ski at our Resorts generally in advance of the ski season and typically ski more days each season at our Resorts than those guests who do not buy pass products. Additionally, we enter into strategic long-term pass alliance agreements with third-party mountain resorts, which further increase the value proposition of our pass products. For the 2025/2026 ski season, our pass alliances include Telluride Ski Resort in Colorado, Hakuba Valley and Rusutsu Resort in Japan, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies in Canada, Les 3 Vallées in France, Disentis Ski Area and Verbier 4 Vallées in Switzerland, Skirama Dolomiti in Italy and Ski Arlberg, Saalbach and Zell am See-Kaprun, Mayrhofen and Hintertux, Sölden and Silvretta Montafon in Austria. Our pass program drives strong customer loyalty; mitigates exposure to more weather sensitive guests; generates additional ancillary spending; and provides cash flow in advance of winter season operations. In addition, our pass program attracts new guests to our Resorts. All of our pass products, including the Epic Pass and Epic Day Pass, are predominately sold prior to the start of the ski season. Pass product revenue, although primarily collected prior to the ski season, is recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations throughout the ski season on a straight-line basis using the number of skiable days of the season-to-date period relative to the total estimated number of skiable days of the season.
Previous report
Lift revenue consists of pass product lift revenue (“pass revenue”) and non-pass product lift revenue (“non-pass revenue”). For both the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 66% of our total lift revenue recognized was derived from pass revenue.
Previous report
The cost structure of our mountain resort operations has a significant fixed component with variable expenses including, but not limited to, land use permit or lease fees, credit card fees, retail/rental cost of sales and labor, ski school labor and dining operations; as such, profit margins can fluctuate greatly based on the level of revenues.
Previous report
•Our performance throughout the 2024/2025 North American ski season reflects the strength of our advance commitment strategy, strong destination guest spending and the impact of our resource efficiency transformation plan. We achieved 3% growth in Resort Reported EBITDA year-to-date despite total skier visits declining 3% across our North American Resorts from the beginning of the ski season through April 30, 2025. North American visitation reflects the benefit of improved conditions in the second quarter relative to the prior year, offset by the expected decline in visitation from selling fewer pass units this season. For the year-to-date period, Resort net revenue increased 3% driven by a 4% increase in pass revenue and increased ancillary spend per guest across our ski school and dining businesses. Resort Reported EBITDA year-to-date also reflects strong cost discipline. Overall, the results demonstrate the strength and resilience of our business model, supported by our expansive resort network and loyal guest base, even as our western North American destination resorts experienced a decline in visitation, with outsized impacts from a decline in lift ticket guests.
Previous report
Mountain Reported EBITDA includes $6.1 million and $5.4 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Previous report
Mountain Reported EBITDA decreased $3.2 million, or 0.5%, primarily driven by a decrease in Local and Destination non-pass skier visitation, which impacted overall revenue in our ancillary lines of business and resulted in a reduction of non-pass lift ticket sales, partially offset by an increase in pass product sales for the 2024/2025 North American ski season compared to the prior year and the incremental impact from the acquisition of Crans-Montana. Mountain segment results also include the impact of one-time operating expenses attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan of $3.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, as well as acquisition and integration related expenses of $0.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Previous report
Lift revenue increased $24.6 million, or 3.3%, primarily due to an increase in pass revenue of 5.5%, which was driven by an increase in pass product sales for the 2024/2025 North American ski season compared to the prior year. Non-pass revenue was flat compared to the prior year and benefited from incremental non-pass revenue from Crans-Montana of $7.9 million and an increase in non-pass ETP (excluding Crans-Montana) of 6.6%, but was offset by decreased non-pass visitation at our North American resorts. Total non-pass ETP, including the impact of Crans-Montana, increased 1.3% compared to the prior year.
Previous report
Ski school revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 0.6%, primarily driven by decreased skier visitation, partially offset by increased lesson pricing and incremental revenue from Crans-Montana of $0.3 million. Dining revenue increased $1.5 million, or 1.4%, driven by incremental revenue from Crans-Montana of $4.1 million, partially offset by decreased Destination skier visitation. Retail/rental revenue decreased $9.6 million, or 7.8%, for which retail revenue decreased $6.1 million, or 10.1%, driven by lower sales at our on-mountain retail locations, and rental revenue decreased $3.5 million, or 5.5%, each driven by decreased skier visitation.
Previous report
Operating expense increased $19.2 million, or 3.4%, which was primarily attributable to incremental operating expenses from Crans-Montana and an increase in general and administrative expense, partially offset by decreased variable expenses associated with decreased revenue upon which those expenses are based. Operating expense also includes one-time expenses attributable to our resource transformation plan of $3.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, as well as acquisition and integration related expenses of $0.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Previous report
Labor and labor-related benefits increased 4.0%, primarily due to incremental expenses from Crans-Montana of $6.3 million, increased variable compensation expense of $3.3 million, increased workers compensation expense of $1.2 million and normal wage adjustments, partially offset by strong cost control and workforce management in response to decreased skier visitation compared to the prior year. Retail cost of sales decreased 16.5%, compared to a decrease in retail sales of 10.1%, reflecting increased margins driven by the mix of retail merchandise purchased by customers, including lower sales of discounted retail products compared to the prior year. General and administrative expense increased 13.4%, due to an increase in corporate overhead costs, including legal and marketing, as well as increased variable compensation expense of $4.2 million. Other expense increased 3.6%, primarily due to incremental expenses from Crans-Montana.

Previous report
Mountain Reported EBITDA includes $18.4 million and $17.5 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Previous report
Mountain Reported EBITDA increased $29.6 million, or 3.2%, primarily driven by an increase in pass product pricing for the 2024/2025 North American ski season compared to the prior year. Additionally, Mountain Reported EBITDA increased from improved early season conditions, particularly at our Eastern U.S. Resorts (comprising the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast) and western North American Resorts, many of which experienced delayed openings and reduced terrain offerings in the prior year. These improved conditions enabled a strong terrain offering and guest experience, which drove an increase in skier visitation throughout the early season and up through the holiday period, including non-pass visitation, which also benefited other ancillary lines of business during the first half of the 2024/2025 North American ski season. Additionally, Mountain Reported EBITDA increased as a result of an increase in results from summer operations at our North American resorts, which benefited from warm weather conditions late in the season. These increases were partially offset by a decline from our Australian operations compared to the prior year, which experienced weather-related challenges that impacted terrain and resulted in early closures, as well as increased variable expenses associated with increased revenue and increased general and administrative expense. Mountain segment results also include the impact of one-time operating expenses attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan of $8.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2025, as well as acquisition and integration related expenses of $1.1 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Previous report
Lift revenue increased $61.1 million, or 4.4%, due to increases in both pass revenue and non-pass revenue. Pass product revenue increased 3.9%, which was primarily driven by an increase in pass product pricing for the 2024/2025 North American ski season compared to the prior year. Additionally, non-pass revenue increased 5.4% primarily as a result of an increase in non-pass ETP (excluding Crans-Montana) of 5.5%, and incremental non-pass revenue from Crans-Montana of $15.3 million, partially offset by a reduction in non-pass visitation (excluding Crans-Montana). Total non-pass ETP, including the impact of Crans-Montana, increased 1.1%.
Previous report
Ski school revenue increased $5.0 million, or 1.7%, driven by increased lesson pricing and $0.5 million incremental revenue from Crans-Montana, partially offset by decreased North American and Australian skier visitation. Dining revenue increased $12.9 million, or 6.2%, driven by incremental revenue from Crans-Montana of $7.8 million and increased pricing, partially offset by decreased North American and Australian skier visitation. Retail/rental revenue decreased $14.5 million, or 5.0%, driven by a decrease in retail revenue of $11.7 million, or 7.2%, due to lower sales at our on-mountain retail locations driven by decreased skier visitation. Additionally, rental revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 2.2%, primarily driven by decreased Destination skier visitation, as these guests typically utilize more ancillary services.
Previous report
Labor and labor-related benefits increased 4.6%, primarily due to the incremental expenses from Crans-Montana of $13.6 million, normal wage adjustments and an increase in labor expense to support increased North American operations, as well as increased variable compensation accruals of $5.1 million. Retail cost of sales decreased 10.0%, compared to a decrease in retail sales of 7.2%, reflecting increased margins driven by the mix of retail merchandise purchased by customers, including lower sales of discounted retail products compared to the prior year. Resort related fees increased 3.0% primarily as a result of an increase in revenues on which those fees are based. General and administrative expense increased 4.5%, primarily due to an increase in corporate overhead costs, including legal, marketing and information technology, as well as increased costs from company-wide performance-based variable compensation expense that was not earned in the prior year ($6.0 million). Other expense increased 5.2%, primarily due to incremental expenses from Crans-Montana of $11.6 million, as well as increased variable expenses associated with increased revenues, including rent ($2.0 million), dining cost of sales ($1.7 million) and pass partnership expense ($1.9 million), in addition to increased property tax expense ($1.5 million).

Previous report
Lodging Reported EBITDA decreased $1.6 million, or 7.7%, primarily driven by a net reduction in our inventory of available managed condominium rooms, as well as a decrease in Destination skier visitation during the 2024/2025 North American ski season, which decreased demand for lodging and other ancillary services proximate to our mountain resorts, partially offset by increased 2024 summer visitation at GTLC and our mountain resort properties as a result of favorable weather conditions.
Previous report
Revenue from owned hotel rooms increased $2.9 million, or 5.4%, primarily due to increased visitation at GTLC driven by favorable weather conditions, which also drove an increase in ADR, as well as stronger demand for summer lodging at our North American mountain resort properties. Revenue from managed condominium rooms decreased $4.3 million, or 5.7%, primarily due to lower ADR driven by lower peak-season holiday pricing compared to the prior year, as well as a net reduction in our inventory of available managed condominium rooms proximate to our mountain resorts. Dining revenue increased $2.4 million, or 5.2%, and golf revenue increased $1.6 million, or 24.3%, each primarily as a result of increased summer visitation at our North American mountain resort properties while transportation revenue decreased $1.3 million or 8.5% primarily as a result of decreased Destination visitation. Other revenue decreased $2.6 million, or 7.1%, primarily as a result of a decrease in property maintenance services and revenue from our central reservations booking service.

Previous report
During the nine months ended April 30, 2025, we recorded a gain on sale of real property for $16.5 million related to the resolution of the October 2023 Eagle County District Court final ruling and valuation regarding the Town of Vail’s condemnation of our East Vail property, for which we received proceeds of $17.6 million. We also recorded a gain on sale of real property for $8.5 million related to the sale of three real estate parcels in Breckenridge, Colorado for total consideration of $11.9 million, including $1.0 million net cash proceeds received at closing, for which one of these parcels was originally sold during the year ended July 31, 2022 but the terms of the agreement prevented transfer of control to the buyer at the time, and therefore a portion of the proceeds were deferred for recognition until control was transferred which occurred during the nine months ended April 30, 2025. During the nine months ended April 30, 2024, we closed on the sale of a land parcel in Keystone for $4.2 million, which was recorded within Real Estate net revenue, with a corresponding cost of sale of $3.6 million. Additionally, we recorded a gain on sale of real property for $6.3 million related to a land parcel sale in Beaver Creek, CO, which closed for proceeds of $6.5 million during the nine months ended April 30, 2024.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 increased $6.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to assets acquired in the acquisition of Crans-Montana, as well as additional capital projects completed at our Resorts during the prior capital year.
Previous report
Change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration. Change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 decreased $34.6 million and $38.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily related to an increase in the expected long-term EBITDA performance for Park City in the prior year that resulted in an increase in the liability for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024.

Provision for income taxes. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effects of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status are recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 was 24.0% and 24.5%, respectively, compared to 25.3% and 26.2% for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, respectively.
Previous report
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of favorable discrete items, as well as a decrease in pretax losses at our foreign entities. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended months ended April 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended months ended April 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in net unfavorable discrete items impacting the tax provision in the current period, including a nonrecurring foreign partnership basis adjustment of $4.7 million during the nine months ended months ended April 30, 2024.

The MD&A includes discussion of financial performance within each of our three segments. We have chosen to specifically include segment Reported EBITDA (defined as segment net revenue less segment operating expense, plus segment equity investment income or loss, and for the Real Estate segment, plus gain or loss on sale of real property) in the following discussion because we consider this measurement to be a significant indication of our financial performance. We utilize segment Reported EBITDA in evaluating our performance and in allocating resources to our segments. Net Debt (defined as long-term debt, net plus long-term debt due within one year less cash and cash equivalents) is included in the following discussion because we consider this measurement to be a significant indication of our available capital resources. We also believe that Net Debt is an important measurement as it is an indicator of our ability to obtain additional capital resources for our future cash needs. Resort Reported EBITDA (defined as the combination of segment Reported EBITDA of our Mountain and Lodging segments), Total Reported EBITDA (which is Resort Reported EBITDA plus segment Reported EBITDA from our Real Estate segment) and Net Debt are not measures of financial performance or liquidity defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Refer to the end of the Results of Operations section for a reconciliation of net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. to Total Reported EBITDA and Resort Reported EBITDA, and long-term debt, net to Net Debt.

Additionally, the Mountain segment includes ancillary services, primarily including ski school, dining and retail/rental operations, and for our Australian ski areas, including lodging and transportation operations. Mountain segment revenue is seasonal, with the majority of revenue earned from our North American and European ski operations occurring in our second and third fiscal quarters and the majority of revenue earned from our Australian ski operations occurring in our first and fourth fiscal quarters. Our North American and European Resorts typically experience their peak operating season for the Mountain segment from mid-December through mid-April, and our Australian ski areas typically experience their peak operating season from June to early October. Consequently, our first and fourth fiscal quarters are seasonally low periods as most of our North American and European ski operations are generally not open for business, and the activity of our Australian ski areas’ peak season and our North American and European summer operating results are not sufficient to offset the losses incurred during these seasonally low periods. Revenue of the Mountain segment during the first and fourth fiscal quarters is primarily generated from summer and group related visitation at our North American and European destination mountain resorts, retail/rental operations and peak season Australian ski operations. Our largest source of Mountain segment revenue is the sale of lift tickets (including pass products), which represented approximately 64% and 62% of Mountain segment net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and approximately 59% of Mountain segment net revenue for both the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024.

Consequently, our first and fourth fiscal quarters are seasonally low periods as most of our North American and European ski operations are generally not open for business, and the activity of our Australian ski areas’ peak season and our North American and European summer operating results are not sufficient to offset the losses incurred during these seasonally low periods. Revenue of the Mountain segment during the first and fourth fiscal quarters is primarily generated from summer and group related visitation at our North American and European destination mountain resorts, retail/rental operations and peak season Australian ski operations.

The performance of our lodging properties (including managed condominium rooms) proximate to our Resorts, and our Colorado resort ground transportation company, are closely aligned with the performance of the Mountain segment and generally experience similar seasonal trends, particularly with respect to visitation by Destination guests. Revenues from such properties represented approximately 96% of Lodging segment net revenue (excluding Lodging segment revenue associated with the reimbursement of payroll costs) for both the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, and 77% and 79% of our Lodging segment revenue (excluding Lodging segment revenue associated with reimbursement of payroll costs) for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Management primarily focuses on Lodging net revenue excluding payroll cost reimbursements and Lodging operating expense excluding reimbursed payroll costs (which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP) as the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin and as such, the revenue and corresponding expense do not affect our Lodging Reported EBITDA, which we use to evaluate Lodging segment performance. Revenue of the Lodging segment during our first and fourth fiscal quarters is generated primarily by the operations of our NPS concessioner properties (as their peak operating season generally occurs during the months of June to October), as well as golf operations and seasonally low operations from our other owned and managed properties and businesses.

•The timing and amount of snowfall can have an impact on Mountain and Lodging revenue, particularly with regard to skier visits and the duration and frequency of guest visitation. To help mitigate this impact, we sell a variety of pass products prior to the beginning of the ski season, which results in a more stabilized stream of lift revenue. Additionally, our pass products provide a compelling value proposition to our guests, which in turn create a guest commitment predominately prior to the start of the ski season. In March 2025, we began our season pass sales program for the 2025/2026 North American ski season. Pass product sales through May 27, 2025 for the upcoming 2025/2026 North American ski season decreased approximately 1% in units and increased approximately 2% in sales dollars as compared to the period in the prior year through May 28, 2024. Pass product sales are adjusted to eliminate the impact of foreign currency by applying an exchange rate of $0.73 between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar in both periods for Whistler Blackcomb pass sales. We cannot predict if these trends will continue through the 2025 North American pass sales campaign or the overall impact that pass sales will have on lift revenue for the 2025/2026 North American ski season.

Other revenue mainly consists of revenue stemming from summer visitation, other mountain activities revenue, employee housing revenue, guest services revenue, commercial leasing revenue, marketing and internet advertising revenue, private club revenue (which includes both club dues and amortization of initiation fees), municipal services revenue and other recreation activity revenue. Other revenue also includes Australian resort lodging and transportation revenue. Other revenue increased $16.0 million or 9.0%, primarily driven by increased early season skier visitation at our North American resorts, which drove additional demand for ancillary services, as well as an increase in other on-mountain summer activities and sightseeing revenue from the impact of increased summer visitation at our North American resorts as a result of improved weather conditions.

One of these parcels was originally sold during the year ended July 31, 2022 but the terms of the agreement prevented transfer of control to the buyer at the time, and therefore a portion of the proceeds were deferred for recognition until control was transferred which occurred during the three months ended April 30, 2025. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, we did not close on any significant real estate transactions.

We generated $726.4 million of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2025, an increase of $45.4 million compared to $681.0 million generated during the nine months ended April 30, 2024. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily a result of increased pass product sales and collections and other operating cash flows related to Resort operations during the nine months ended April 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year, partially offset by an increase in income tax payments of approximately $15.1 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year, driven by overpayments and other deductions which offset our estimated payments made during the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and higher estimated taxable income for the current fiscal year.
Current wording
We generated $315.9 million of cash from operating activities during the three months ended October 31, 2025, an increase of $33.2 million compared to $282.7 million generated during the three months ended October 31, 2024. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily a result of (i) a decrease in income tax payments of approximately $22.9 million for three months ended October 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year, primarily due to a change in tax year-end to align with our fiscal year-end, and (ii) an increase in pass and other product sales and receivable collections of approximately $22.3 million, partially offset by the timing of payments for accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and inventory.
Previous wording
The increase in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 of $64.6 million was primarily due to (i) the maturity of short-term bank deposits in the prior year which had maturity dates of more than three months at the date of purchase and were therefore not reflected as cash equivalents as of July 31, 2023, of which $57.6 million matured during the three months ended April 30, 2024 and (ii) an increase in capital expenditures of approximately $24.1 million as compared to the prior year, which is largely driven by an acceleration of the timing of work being completed and associated payments taking place in the current year. These increases were partially offset by $17.6 million of cash received during the nine months ended April 30, 2025 related to the resolution of the October 2023 Eagle County District Court final ruling and valuation regarding the Town of Vail’s condemnation of our East Vail property.

Cash used in financing activities increased by $4.1 million during the nine months ended April 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2024, primarily due to $48.0 million of cash paid for repurchases of 0.0% Convertible Notes during the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and an increase in dividends paid of $8.0 million, partially offset by a $55.0 million decrease in repurchases of common stock.
Current wording
Cash used in financing activities decreased by $31.6 million during the three months ended October 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) a decrease in repurchases of common stock of $20.0 million, (ii) a decrease in excise tax payments of $5.4 million, and (iii) a decrease in dividends paid of $3.3 million which was driven by repurchases of common stock that occurred throughout fiscal 2025.
Previous wording
We had $467.0 million of cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2025, compared to $705.4 million as of April 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the cash purchase price associated with the acquisition of Crans-Montana, net of cash acquired, repurchases of common stock and repurchases of 0.0% Convertible Notes completed during the last twelve months. We currently anticipate that our Mountain and Lodging segment operating results will continue to provide a significant source of future operating cash flows (primarily generated in our second and third fiscal quarters).
Current wording
We had $581.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2025, compared to $403.8 million as of October 31, 2024.

We currently anticipate that our Mountain and Lodging segment operating results will continue to provide a significant source of future operating cash flows for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Our debt service requirements can be impacted by changing interest rates as we had approximately $1.0 billion of variable-rate debt outstanding as of April 30, 2025. A 100-basis point change in our borrowing rates would cause our annual interest payments to change by approximately $9.8 million. Additionally, the annual payments associated with the financing of the Canyons Resort transaction increase by the greater of CPI less 1%, or 2%. The fluctuation in our debt service requirements, in addition to interest rate and inflation changes, may be impacted by future borrowings under our credit agreements or other alternative financing arrangements we may enter into. Our long term liquidity needs depend upon operating results that impact the borrowing capacity under our credit agreements.

Additionally, the annual payments associated with the financing of the Canyons Resort transaction increase by the greater of CPI less 1%, or 2%. The fluctuation in our debt service requirements, in addition to interest rate and inflation changes, may be impacted by future borrowings under our credit agreements or other alternative financing arrangements we may enter into. Our long-term liquidity needs depend upon operating results that impact the borrowing capacity under our credit agreements. We can respond to liquidity impacts of changes in the business and economic environment by managing our capital expenditures, variable operating expenses, the timing of new real estate development activity and the payment of cash dividends on our common stock.
