Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

  1. Organization and Business

Vail Resorts, Inc. (“Vail Resorts”) is organized as a holding company and operates through various subsidiaries. Vail Resorts and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate in three reportable segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate. The Company refers to “Resort” as the combination of the Mountain and Lodging segments.

In the Mountain segment, the Company operates the following 42 destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas:

*Denotes a destination mountain resort, which generally receives a meaningful portion of skier visits from long-distance travelers, as opposed to the Company’s regional ski areas, which tend to generate skier visits predominantly from their respective local markets.

Additionally, the Mountain segment includes ancillary services, primarily including ski school, dining and retail/rental operations, and for the Company’s Australian ski areas, including lodging and transportation operations.

In the Lodging segment, the Company owns and/or manages a collection of luxury hotels and condominiums under its RockResorts brand; other strategic lodging properties and a large number of condominiums located in proximity to the Company’s North American mountain resorts; National Park Service (“NPS”) concessioner properties including the Grand Teton Lodge Company, which operates destination resorts in Grand Teton National Park; a Colorado resort ground transportation company and mountain resort golf courses.

The Company’s Real Estate segment primarily owns, develops and sells real estate in and around the Company’s resort communities.

The Company’s mountain business and its lodging properties at or around the Company’s mountain resorts are seasonal in nature and typically experience their peak operating seasons from mid-December through mid-April in North America and Europe. The peak operating season at the Company’s Australian resorts, NPS concessioner properties and golf courses generally occurs from June to early October.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements — In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year, particularly given the significant seasonality to the Company’s operating cycle. The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting policies, normally included in fiscal year financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements.

Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The estimated fair values of the 6.50% Notes, 5.625% Notes and the 0.0% Convertible Notes (each as defined in Note 5, Long-Term Debt) are based on quoted market prices (a Level 2 input). The fair value of the EPR Secured Notes and the NRP Loan (each as defined in Note 5, Long-Term Debt) have been estimated using analyses based on current borrowing rates for comparable debt instruments with similar maturity dates (a Level 2 input). The carrying values, including any unamortized premium or discount, and estimated fair values of the 6.50% Notes, 5.625% Notes, 0.0% Convertible Notes, EPR Secured Notes and NRP Loan as of October 31, 2025 are presented below (in thousands):

October 31, 2025
CarryingValueFairValue
6.50% Notes$600,000$623,082
5.625% Notes$500,000$506,430
0.0% Convertible Notes$525,000$520,800
EPR Secured Notes$114,162$162,404
NRP Loan$35,802$28,268

The carrying values for all other financial instruments not included in the above table approximate their respective fair value due to their short-term nature or the variable nature of their associated interest rates.

Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements —During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company identified an immaterial error in its accounting for the EPR Secured Notes, which resulted in an understatement of non-cash interest expense, long-term debt due within one year and long-term debt, net as of and for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023. The Company also identified an immaterial error in its accounting for certain completed capital projects, which resulted in an understatement of depreciation expense and overstatement of property, plant and equipment, net as of and for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023. The Company evaluated the errors and concluded that they were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements.

To correct the immaterial errors, the Company elected to revise its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 and its unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2024. The revision also includes the correction of other previously identified immaterial errors in its Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 and its unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2024, which the Company had evaluated or recorded as out of period adjustments in prior periods. The Company had previously determined that these errors did not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material error of its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended July 31, 2025, July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 and its unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2024. Further information regarding the errors and related revisions is included in Note 11, Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Company presented the revision of its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended July 31, 2024 and as of and for the year ended July 31, 2023 in connection with the filing of its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is presenting the revision of its previously issued unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2024 in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Standards Being Evaluated

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which includes amendments that further enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2026). The Company will adopt the standard during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 and is in the process of evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which will expand the disclosures regarding a public entity’s expenses by providing disaggregation of certain costs and expenses. The ASU primarily requires that, for each interim and annual reporting period, an entity disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as other certain qualitative disclosures regarding costs and expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2028), and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements, including determining the timing of adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The amendments in this Update remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity will start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 (the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2029) and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements, including determining the timing of adoption.

Recently Adopted Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires reporting entities to provide enhanced segment disclosures, including disclosures regarding significant segment expenses, on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted the standard for the year ended July 31, 2025. Refer to Note 12, Segment and Geographic Area Information.

Contract Balances

Deferred revenue balances of a short-term nature were $927.3 million, $602.1 million and $901.6 million as of October 31, 2025, July 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024 respectively. For the three months ended October 31, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $53.3 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of July 31, 2025. Deferred revenue balances of a long-term nature, comprised primarily of long-term private club initiation fee revenue, were $97.4 million, $99.4 million and $102.9 million as of October 31, 2025, July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. As of October 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining period over which revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations on long-term private club contracts will be recognized was approximately 14 years.

Costs to Obtain Contracts with Customers

Costs to obtain contracts with customers are recorded within other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and were $24.5 million, $6.6 million and $22.7 million as of October 31, 2025, July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. The amounts capitalized are subject to amortization generally beginning in the second quarter of each fiscal year, commensurate with the recognition of revenue for related pass products, and will be recorded within Mountain and Lodging operating expense on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

  1. Net Loss per Share

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Vail Resorts stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, resulting in the issuance of shares of common stock that would then share in the earnings of Vail Resorts.

Presented below is basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Three Months Ended October 31,
20252024

Total shares35,91035,91037,47337,473
Net loss per share attributable to Vail Resorts$(5.20)$(5.20)$(4.62)$(4.62)

The Company computes the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of share-based awards excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive totaled approximately 0.3 million for both the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

In December 2020, the Company completed an offering of $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.0% Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 5, Long-Term Debt). On January 30, 2025, the Company completed separate, privately negotiated repurchases for an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million of its 0.0% Convertible Notes with a limited number of holders. The Company is going to settle the remaining principal amount of the 0.0% Convertible Notes in cash. The Company uses the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted EPS when the instruments may be settled in cash or shares. If the conversion value of the 0.0% Convertible Notes exceeds their conversion price, then the Company will calculate its diluted EPS as if all the notes were converted into common stock at the beginning of the period. However, if reflecting the 0.0% Convertible Notes in diluted EPS in this manner is anti-dilutive, or if the conversion value of the notes does not exceed their conversion price for a reporting period, then the shares underlying the notes will not be reflected in the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the price of Vail Resorts, Inc. common stock (“Vail Shares”) did not exceed the conversion price; therefore, there was no impact to diluted EPS during those periods.

Dividends

During both the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid cash dividends of $2.22 per share ($79.8 million and $83.1 million, respectively). On December 9, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $2.22 per share payable on January 12, 2026 to stockholders of record as of December 30, 2025.

(a)Vail Holdings, Inc. (“VHI”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, along with other certain subsidiaries of VHI, and the Company, as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain Lenders are party to the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Vail Holdings Credit Agreement”). The Vail Holdings Credit Agreement has a maturity date of April 24, 2029 for both the revolver facility, which was undrawn as of October 31, 2025, and the term loan facility, which had an outstanding balance of $898.2 million as of October 31, 2025. The term loan is subject to quarterly amortization of principal of approximately $12.3 million, in equal installments, for a total of 5% of principal payable in each year and the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest is due upon maturity in April 2029. The proceeds of the loans made under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement may be used to fund the Company’s working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and other general corporate purposes, including the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, including the term loan, bear interest annually at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread of 2.10% as of October 31, 2025 (6.06% as of October 31, 2025). Interest rate margins may fluctuate based upon the ratio of the Company’s Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement) on a trailing four-quarter basis. The Vail Holdings Credit Agreement also includes a quarterly unused commitment fee, which is equal to a percentage determined by the Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, as each such term is defined in the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, multiplied by the daily amount by which the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement commitment exceeds the total of outstanding loans and outstanding letters of credit (0.35% as of October 31, 2025). The Company was previously party to various interest rate swap agreements which hedged the cash flows associated with the SOFR-based variable interest rate component of $400.0 million in principal amount of its Vail Holdings Credit Agreement at an effective rate of 1.38%. These interest rate swaps expired on September 23, 2024.

On January 27, 2025, VHI entered into the First Amendment to the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment, among other things, increased the revolving credit facility by $100.0 million to an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million and provides for an incremental term loan facility in aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million in the form of delayed draw term loans. On July 2, 2025, the Company reduced the delayed draw term loan commitment by $175.0 million pursuant to the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The remaining $275.0 million incremental term loan facility is available to be drawn upon at any time at the Company’s option, and any undrawn capacity within the $275.0 million facility will expire on January 27, 2026. While undrawn, any unused portion of the incremental term loan facility incurs a fee equal to 0.30% per annum. Any delayed draw term loan borrowings, upon funding, would be subject to the same interest and principal payment terms and the same maturity date as the outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility. No other material terms of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement were amended. Proceeds from any borrowings on the incremental term loan facility and the increase in the revolving credit loan facility, both of which are undrawn as of October 31, 2025, are available to be used to refinance the Company’s 0.0% Convertible Notes, as discussed further below.

(b)The Company issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.0% Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “0.0% Convertible Notes) under an indenture dated December 18, 2020. As of October 31, 2025, the conversion price of the 0.0% Convertible Notes, adjusted for cash dividends paid since the issuance date, was $345.51. On January 30, 2025, the Company completed separate, privately negotiated repurchases for an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million of its 0.0% Convertible Notes with a limited number of holders for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $48.0 million, representing a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.0 million, which the Company recorded within gain (loss) on disposal of fixed assets and other, net on its Consolidated Statements of Operations as of July 31, 2025. Following the repurchases, approximately $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 0.0% Convertible Notes remain outstanding, which is included within long-term debt due within one year as of October 31, 2025 given the maturity date of January 1, 2026. Proceeds from any borrowings on the incremental term loan facility and the increase in the revolving credit facility with regard to the First Amendment of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, both of which are undrawn as of October 31, 2025, in addition to proceeds received from the 5.625% Notes offering, are available to be used to refinance the Company’s 0.0% Convertible Notes.

(c)Whistler Mountain Resort Limited Partnership (“Whistler LP”) and Blackcomb Skiing Enterprises Limited Partnership (“Blackcomb LP” and together with Whistler LP, the “WB Partnerships”) are party to a credit agreement consisting of a credit facility by and among Whistler LP, Blackcomb LP, certain subsidiaries of Whistler LP and Blackcomb LP and their general partner party thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as administrative agent. On September 24, 2025, we amended the Whistler Credit Agreement primarily to extend the maturity date to September 24, 2030, and to reduce the total size of the credit facility from C$300.0 million to C$250.0 million. The Whistler Credit Agreement uses rates based on SOFR with regard to borrowings under the facility made in U.S. dollars. As of October 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Whistler Credit Agreement. The Whistler Credit Agreement also includes a quarterly unused commitment fee based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which as of October 31, 2025 is equal to 0.39% per annum.

(d)In September 2019, in conjunction with the acquisition of Peak Resorts, Inc. (“Peak Resorts”), the Company assumed various secured borrowings (the “EPR Secured Notes”) under the master credit and security agreements and other related agreements, as amended, (collectively, the “EPR Agreements”) with EPT Ski Properties, Inc. and its affiliates (“EPR”). The EPR Secured Notes include the following:

i. The Alpine Valley Secured Note. The $4.6 million Alpine Valley Secured Note provides for interest payments through its maturity on December 1, 2034. As of October 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 12.07%.

ii. The Boston Mills/Brandywine Secured Note. The $23.3 million Boston Mills/Brandywine Secured Note provides for interest payments through its maturity on December 1, 2034. As of October 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 11.75%.

iii. The Jack Frost/Big Boulder Secured Note. The $14.3 million Jack Frost/Big Boulder Secured Note provides for interest payments through its maturity on December 1, 2034. As of October 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 11.75%.

iv. The Mount Snow Secured Note. The $51.1 million Mount Snow Secured Note provides for interest payments through its maturity on December 1, 2034. As of October 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 12.69%.

v. The Hunter Mountain Secured Note. The $21.0 million Hunter Mountain Secured Note provides for interest payments through its maturity on January 5, 2036. As of October 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 9.35%.

In addition, Peak Resorts is required to maintain a debt service reserve account to fund interest payments and other amounts due and payable to EPR.

(e)Current maturities represent principal payments due in the next 12 months.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active and inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The table below summarizes the Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current assets and Contingent Consideration (defined below) measured at estimated fair value (all other assets and liabilities measured at fair value are immaterial) (in thousands):

The Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash and other current assets are measured utilizing quoted market prices or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are either observable or corroborated by observable market data.

The changes in Contingent Consideration during the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively$93,300$104,200
Payments(14,739)(20,279)
Change in estimated fair value4,6392,079
Balance as of October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively$83,200$86,000

The lease for Park City provides for participating contingent payments (the “Contingent Consideration”) to the landlord of 42% of the amount by which EBITDA for the Park City resort operations, as calculated under the lease, exceeds an inflation linked threshold and an adjustment equal to 10% of any capital improvements or investments made under the lease by the Company. Contingent Consideration is classified as a liability, which is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Contingent Consideration liability using an option pricing valuation model. The estimated fair value of Contingent Consideration includes future period resort operations of Park City in the calculation of EBITDA on which participating contingent payments are made, which is determined on the basis of estimated subsequent year performance, escalated by an assumed annual growth factor and discounted to present value. Other significant assumptions included a discount rate of 11.2% and volatility of 14.5%, which together with future period Park City EBITDA, are all unobservable inputs. The Company prepared a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the effect that changes on certain key assumptions would have on the fair value of the Contingent Consideration. A change in the discount rate of 100 basis points or a 5% change in estimated subsequent year performance of the resort would result in a change in the fair value within the range of approximately $13.7 million to $18.8 million.

During the three months ended October 31, 2025, the Company made a payment to the landlord for Contingent Consideration of approximately $14.7 million and recorded an increase in the liability of approximately $4.6 million, primarily related to the estimated Contingent Consideration payment for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026, which is partially offset by the impact of an increase in expected capital expenditures at Park City during the years ending July 31, 2025 and 2026. These changes resulted in an estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration of approximately $83.2 million, which is included in accounts payable and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2025.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees/Indemnifications

As of October 31, 2025, the Company had various letters of credit outstanding totaling $96.0 million, consisting of $53.4 million to support the Employee Housing Bonds; $6.4 million to support bonds issued by Holland Creek Metropolitan District; and $36.2 million of other standby letters of credit primarily related to insurance-related deductibles, a wind energy purchase agreement, and workers’ compensation. The Company also had surety bonds of $11.2 million as of October 31, 2025, primarily to provide collateral for its U.S. workers compensation self-insurance programs.

In addition to the guarantees noted above, the Company entered into contracts in the normal course of business that include certain indemnifications under which it could be required to make payments to third parties upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain future events. These indemnities include indemnities related to licensees in connection with third-parties’ use of the Company’s trademarks and logos, liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties’ technology and software products, liabilities associated with the use of easements, liabilities associated with employment of contract workers and the Company’s use of trustees and liabilities associated with the Company’s use of public lands and environmental matters. The duration of these indemnities generally is indefinite and generally do not limit the future payments the Company could be obligated to make.

As permitted under applicable law, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have agreed to indemnify their directors and officers over their lifetimes for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving the Company or its subsidiaries in such a capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that should enable the Company to recover a portion of any amounts paid.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company has not recorded any significant liabilities for the letters of credit, indemnities and other guarantees noted above in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, either because the Company has recorded on its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets the underlying liability associated with the guarantee, the guarantee is with respect to the Company’s own performance and is therefore not subject to the measurement requirements as prescribed by GAAP, or because the Company has estimated the fair value of the indemnification or guarantee to be immaterial based on the current facts and circumstances that would trigger a payment under the indemnification clause. In addition, with respect to certain indemnifications, it is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these potential obligations due to the unique set of facts and circumstances likely to be involved in each claim and indemnification provision. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations have not been material.

As noted above, the Company makes certain indemnifications to licensees for their use of the Company’s trademarks and logos. The Company does not record any liabilities with respect to these indemnifications.

Additionally, the Company is party to strategic long-term season pass alliance agreements with third-party mountain resorts in which the Company has committed to pay minimum revenue guarantees over the remaining terms of these agreements. The Company records payments under these pass alliance agreements as operating expense which are typically recognized over the course of the North American and European ski season.

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for claims under its U.S. health benefit plans and for the majority of workers’ compensation claims in the U.S. Workers compensation claims in the U.S. are subject to stop loss policies. The self-insurance liability related to workers’ compensation is determined actuarially based on claims filed. The self-insurance liability related to claims under the Company’s U.S. health benefit plans is determined based on analysis of actual claims. The amounts related to these claims are included as a component of accrued benefits in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (see Note 6, Supplementary Balance Sheet Information).

Legal

The Company is a party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company will assess the probability of an unfavorable outcome of any material litigation, claims or assessments to determine whether a liability had been incurred and whether it is probable that one or more future events will occur confirming the fact of the loss. In the event that an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will establish an accrual for the litigation, claim or assessment. In addition, in the event an unfavorable outcome is determined to be less than probable, but reasonably possible, the Company will disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of such loss; however, when a reasonable estimate cannot be made, the Company will provide disclosure to that effect. Litigation is inherently uncertain and may result in adverse rulings or decisions. Additionally, the Company may enter into settlements or be subject to judgments that may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially. Management believes the Company has adequate insurance coverage and/or has accrued for all loss contingencies for asserted and unasserted matters deemed to be probable and estimable losses. As of October 31, 2025, July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the accruals for the above loss contingencies were not material individually or in the aggregate.

  1. Segment Information

The Company hasthree reportable segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate. The Company refers to “Resort” as the combination of the Mountain and Lodging segments. The Mountain segment includes the operations of the Company’s mountain resorts/ski areas and related ancillary activities. The Lodging segment includes the operations of the Company’s owned hotels, RockResorts, NPS concessioner properties, condominium management, Colorado resort ground transportation operations and mountain resort golf operations. The Real Estate segment owns, develops and sells real estate in and around the Company’s resort communities. The Company’s reportable segments, although integral to the success of the others, offer distinctly different products and services and require different types of management focus. As such, these segments are managed separately.

The Company reports its segment results using Reported EBITDA (defined as segment net revenue less segment operating expenses, plus segment equity investment income or loss, and for the Real Estate segment, plus gain or loss on sale of real property). The Company reports segment results in a manner consistent with management’s internal reporting of operating results to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), who monitors Reported EBITDA compared to budget and prior comparable periods at the segment level to assess segment performance and make decisions regarding the investment of capital allocation of resources. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. We believe Reported EBITDA serves as a measure that assists our CODM and our investors in comparing our segments' performance on a consistent basis.

Mountain Reported EBITDA consists of Mountain net revenue less Mountain operating expense plus Mountain equity investment income or loss. Lodging Reported EBITDA consists of Lodging net revenue less Lodging operating expense. Real Estate Reported EBITDA consists of Real Estate net revenue less Real Estate operating expense plus gain or loss on sale of real property. All segment expenses include an allocation of corporate administrative expense. Assets are not used to evaluate performance, except as shown in the table below. The accounting policies specific to each segment are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

  1. Share Repurchase Program

On March 9, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 3,000,000 Vail Shares. On July 16, 2008, December 4, 2015, March 7, 2023, September 25, 2024 and June 4, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the authorization by an additional 3,000,000,1,500,000,2,500,000,1,100,000 and 1,500,000 Vail Shares, respectively, for a total authorization to repurchase up to 12,600,000 Vail Shares. The Company did not repurchase any Vail Shares during the three months ended October 31, 2025. The Company repurchased 114,800 Vail Shares during the three months ended October 31, 2024 (at a total cost of $20.0 million, excluding accrued excise tax). Since inception of this stock repurchase program through October 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 11,060,183 Vail Shares at a cost of approximately $1,399.4 million. As of October 31, 2025,1,539,817 Vail Shares remained available to repurchase under the existing share repurchase program. Vail Shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase program will be held as treasury shares and may be used for the issuance under the Company’s employee share award plan.

  1. Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

As disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the Company identified errors to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, as well as its unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2024 relating to the misapplication of the interest method in the accounting for the EPR Secured Notes and its accounting for certain completed capital projects. Although the Company concluded that these errors were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its current or previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended July 31, 2025, July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 and its unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company elected to revise its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements and its unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements to correct the errors. In connection with the revision, the Company is also correcting for other previously identified immaterial errors that were previously corrected as out of period adjustments in the period of identification.

Due to certain errors originating prior to the year ended July 31, 2023, the opening retained earnings balance as of August 1, 2022 was understated by $12.0 million, primarily due to the impact of $6.9 million of non-cash interest expense that should have been recorded in prior periods.

The revisions include corrections of previously identified errors to the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for operating lease liabilities and right of use assets and adjustments to the income tax payable and income tax receivable for items identified during its reconciliation of completed income tax returns to its income tax provision that impacted jurisdictional netting. The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows have been revised to correct a misclassification between operating and financing activities related to interest on finance lease obligations, and to reflect changes related to the items discussed above.

There were no other changes to the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Stockholders’ Equity that have not otherwise been reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Loss described above. The following tables present the revisions to the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet, Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations, Consolidated Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Loss and Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended October 31, 2024(in thousands, except per share amounts):
