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.

Our operations are grouped into three integrated and interdependent segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate. We refer to “Resort” as the combination of the Mountain and Lodging segments. The Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate segments represented approximately 89%, 11% and 0%, respectively, of our net revenue for Fiscal 2025.

Additionally, we operate 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. Our largest source of Mountain segment revenue comes from the sale of lift tickets (including pass products), which represented approximately 57%, 57% and 56% of Mountain segment net revenue for Fiscal 2025, the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”), respectively.

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 seasons, Destination guests comprised approximately 56% of our North American destination mountain resort skier visits (excluding complimentary access), while Local guests comprised approximately 44%. For both the 2023/2024 and 2022/2023 North American ski seasons, Destination guests comprised approximately 57% of our North American destination mountain resort skier visits (excluding complimentary access), while Local guests comprised approximately 43%. Skier visitation at our regional ski areas is largely comprised of Local guests. Destination guests generally 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.

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 want to purchase access for 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, Sölden, Saalbach and Zell am See-Kaprum, Mayrhofen and Hintertux 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 our Consolidated 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.

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 expenses associated with our dining operations; as such, profit margins can fluctuate greatly based on the level of revenues.

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 66%, 68% and 71% of Lodging segment net revenue (excluding Lodging segment revenue associated with the reimbursement of payroll costs) for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, 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 principal activities of our Real Estate segment include the sale of land parcels to third-party developers and planning for future real estate development projects, including zoning and acquisition of applicable permits. We continue undertaking preliminary planning and design work on future projects and are pursuing opportunities with third-party developers rather than undertaking our own significant vertical development projects. Real estate development projects by third-party developers most often result in the creation of certain resort assets that provide additional benefit to the Mountain segment. We believe that, due to our low carrying cost of real estate land investments, we are well situated to promote future projects by third-party developers while limiting our financial risk. Our revenue from the Real Estate segment and associated expense can fluctuate significantly based upon the timing of closings and the type of real estate being sold, causing volatility in the Real Estate segment’s operating results from period to period.

•Overall weather conditions, including 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 September 19, 2025 for the upcoming 2025/2026 North American ski season decreased approximately 3% in units and increased approximately 1% in sales dollars as compared to the period in the prior year through September 20, 2024. Pass sales dollars are benefiting from 7% price increase relative to the 2024/2025 season, partially offset by the mix impact from the relative performance of Epic Day Pass products compared to Core Epic Pass products. Pass product sales are adjusted to eliminate the impact of foreign currency by applying an exchange rate of $0.72 between the Canadian dollar and 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.

•The economies in the countries in which we operate and from which we attract our guests may be impacted by economic challenges associated with elevated inflation, prolonged elevated interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, political uncertainty and financial institution disruptions and/or fluctuating commodity prices that could adversely impact our business, including decreased guest spending or visitation or increased costs of operations. Skiing, travel and tourism are discretionary recreational activities that can entail a relatively high cost of participation. As a result, economic downturns and other negative impacts to consumer discretionary spending may have a pronounced impact on visitation to our Resorts. We cannot predict the extent to which we may be impacted by such potential economic challenges, whether in North America or globally.

As of July 31, 2025, we had C$296.6 million ($214.1 million) available under the revolver component of the Whistler Credit Agreement which represents the total commitment of C$300.0 million ($216.5 million) less letters of credit outstanding of C$3.4 million ($2.4 million). 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 commitment from C$300.0 million to C$250.0 million.

Mountain Reported EBITDA includes $24.6 million, $29.6 million and $23.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

Mountain Reported EBITDA increased $19.3 million, or 2.4%, 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 conditions at our Eastern U.S. Resorts (comprising the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast) and improved early season conditions at our western North American Resorts, many of which experienced delayed openings and reduced terrain offerings in the prior year. These improved conditions 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. 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, including increased costs from one-time expenses associated with the previously announced CEO transition ($6.8 million) and company-wide performance-based variable compensation expense that was not earned in the prior year ($6.3 million). Mountain segment results for the year ended July 31, 2025 also includes the impact of one-time operating expenses attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan of $14.9 million and one-time operating expenses attributable to our previously announced CEO transition of $6.8 million. Additionally, Mountain segment results include the impact of acquisition and integration related expenses of $1.2 million and $8.0 million for the year ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

Mountain Reported EBITDA decreased $92.0 million, or 11.2%, due to a decrease in both Destination and Local skier visitation as a result of record low snowfall and historically warm temperatures across the western U.S., which impacted our ability to open terrain, reduced terrain offerings throughout the season and led to earlier closures for many resorts in the Rockies and Tahoe regions, as well as a decrease in skier visitation at our Australia resorts from the impact of challenging weather conditions during the first half of the 2026 Australian ski season which limited our ability to open terrain during the early season. The decreased skier visitation resulted in decreased paid lift revenue and other ancillary revenues. These decreases were partially offset by (i) an increase in pass product revenue ($38.8 million), driven by an increase in both North American and Australian pass product sales; (ii) decreased labor and labor-related benefits ($24.6 million), including lower variable compensation expense ($7.1 million); and (iii) decreased variable costs associated with decreased revenue. Mountain segment results also include the impact of one-time operating expenses attributable to our RET initiatives of $10.0 million and $14.9 million for the years ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Additionally, Mountain segment results for the year ended July 31, 2025 includes the impact of one-time operating expenses attributable to our previously announced CEO transition of $6.8 million, as well as acquisition and integration related expenses of $1.2 million.

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 $21.2 million or 8.4%, primarily driven by an increase in on-mountain summer activities and sightseeing revenue from the impact of increased summer visitation at our North American resorts, as well as increased early season skier visitation at our North American resorts, which drove additional demand for ancillary services.

Additionally, operating expense includes the impact of acquisition and integration related expenses of $1.2 million and $8.0 million for the year ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

Operating expense decreased $37.8 million or 2.1%, which was primarily attributable to (i) cost savings from the Company’s RET initiatives; (ii) reduced labor hours at our North American resorts driven by decreased visitation compared to the prior year as a result of challenging weather conditions from record low snowfall and historically warm temperatures across the western U.S.; and (iii) lower variable expenses associated with decreased revenue.

The decrease in cash used in investing activities for Fiscal 2025 of $36.6 million was primarily due to (i) $94.4 million in payments made related to the acquisition of Crans-Montana partially offset by $57.6 million received from the maturity of short-term bank deposits in Fiscal 2024 and (ii) $17.6 million of cash received during Fiscal 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, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of approximately $24.0 million as compared to the prior year.

Current wording

The increase in net cash used in investing activities for Fiscal 2026 of $61.5 million was primarily due to $37.1 million of short-term certificates of deposit in the current year, net of maturities, which were invested in deposits with maturity dates of more than three months at the date of purchase and are therefore not reflected as cash equivalents, as well as a one-time settlement of $17.6 million of cash received during Fiscal 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, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures of approximately $3.6 million as compared to the prior year.

In addition to our $440.3 million of cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 2025, we had $507.9 million available under the revolver component of our Vail Holdings Credit Agreement as of July 31, 2025 (which represents the total commitment of $600.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $92.1 million). Additionally, we had C$296.6 million ($214.1 million) available under the revolver component of our Whistler Credit Agreement (which represents the total commitment of C$300.0 million ($216.5 million) less certain outstanding letters of credit of C$3.4 million ($2.4 million)). 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 commitment from C$300.0 million to C$250.0 million.

Proceeds from any borrowings on the revolver component of our Vail Holdings Credit Agreement and the delayed draw term loans are available to be used to refinance our 0.0% Convertible Notes. We expect that our liquidity needs in the near term will be met by continued use of our existing cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and borrowings under both the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement and Whistler Credit Agreement, if needed. Under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement and the Whistler Credit Agreement, any new borrowings would be priced at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2.10% and Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average plus 1.75%, respectively.

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 and in conjunction with the 5.625% Notes offering. 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.

Our debt service requirements can be impacted by changing interest rates as we had approximately $1.0 billion of net variable-rate debt outstanding as of July 31, 2025. A 100-basis point change in our borrowing rates would cause our annual interest payments on our net variable-rate debt to change by approximately $9.6 million based on the rates in effect as of July 31, 2025. 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.

Application of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, determination of the type of impairment test that should be performed, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units and determination of the estimated fair value of reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We have the option to first perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the carrying amount. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, or if significant changes to macro-economic factors related to the reporting unit or intangible asset have occurred that could materially impact the estimated fair value since the previous quantitative analysis was performed, a quantitative impairment test may be required. The quantitative test includes determination of the estimated fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis and determination of the estimated fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily using the income approach based upon estimated future revenue streams. These analyses require significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, available industry/market data (to the extent available), estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business including expectations and assumptions regarding the impact of general economic conditions on our business, estimation of terminal value, determination of the respective weighted average cost of capital and market participant assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of estimated fair value and the amount of any potential impairment for each reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset.
