Vail Resorts Reports Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Results

Resort Reported EBITDA was $242.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, an increase of 21.2% compared to the same period in the prior year.

Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:  MTN) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 ended January 31, 2016, provided the Company’s ski season-to-date metrics through March 6, 2016 and updated full year fiscal 2016 guidance.

Highlights

Commenting on the Company’s fiscal 2016 second quarter results, Rob Katz, Chief Executive Officer said, “Our results were very strong in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.  Total lift revenue increased 20.2%, driven by a 12.5% growth in visitation and a 6.8% increase in effective ticket price (“ETP”) compared to the prior year.  We continue to see robust spending trends that drove an 8.3% increase in ski school revenue, and a 15.8% increase in food and beverage revenue compared to the prior year. The Tahoe market has seen a significant rebound in visitation this year with outstanding conditions since opening and we are pleased with the double-digit visitation and revenue growth at Park City, following our transformational capital investments.  Our Colorado resorts continue to deliver outstanding results, with solid growth above our record prior year.  Our U.S. destination visitation has remained very strong throughout the year at all of our mountain resorts, as we saw the benefit of the appeal of our resorts to high-end leisure travelers, our sophisticated marketing efforts and the strong U.S. economy.  While we have continued to see a decline in international visitation, it has moderated since the Christmas holiday, in large part due to the strength of Australian visitation which is now up considerably over last year due to the success of the Epic Australia Pass. Visits from Mexico have been largely flat from last year though we are seeing declines from our UK, Canadian and Brazilian markets.”

Regarding Lodging, Katz said, “Our lodging results were strong for the second fiscal quarter with both occupancy and rate increases compared to the prior year. Revenue (excluding payroll cost reimbursements) increased 5.1% compared to the prior year and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) increased 9.8% compared to the prior year. We are experiencing robust demand at our lodging properties across each of our geographies.”

Katz continued, “Resort Reported EBITDA was $242.1 million for the fiscal quarter, an increase of 21.2% over the prior year.  Our Resort EBITDA Margin for the fiscal quarter improved 240 basis points over the prior year as we continue to drive strong flow through from our revenue growth. Given our performance to date and assuming that conditions remain consistent through the remainder of the season, we now expect Resort Reported EBITDA for fiscal 2016 to be between $430 million and $445 million. Our updated guidance highlights the success of our efforts to drive destination visitation, grow season pass sales, enhance our network of resorts through strategic acquisitions and be disciplined in our investments to drive strong financial results.”

Regarding Real Estate, Katz said, “We continue to see momentum in our resort real estate markets including an increased interest by third party developers in our land parcels.  Net Real Estate Cash Flow for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $2.2 million.  During the fiscal quarter, we closed on one unit at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Vail.”

Regarding capital allocation, Katz said, “Further demonstrating our continued commitment to return capital to our stockholders, we are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has approved a 30% increase to our quarterly dividend and declared a quarterly cash dividend on Vail Resorts’ common stock of $0.81 per share, payable on April 13, 2016 to stockholders of record on March 29, 2016.  The increase in our dividend demonstrates our confidence in the stability of our business model and our consistent strong cash flow generation.”  Katz added, “Our balance sheet remains very strong. We ended the fiscal quarter with $45.4 million of cash on hand and our Net Debt, including the capitalized Canyons obligation, was 1.6 times trailing twelve months Total Reported EBITDA.”

The Company expects to invest approximately $100 million in its calendar year 2016 capital plan, excluding capital expenditures for summer related activities and the one-time transformational investments at Wilmot Mountain (“Wilmot”). The plan includes approximately $60 million of maintenance capital expenditures and a number of high-impact, high ROI discretionary investments.  Commenting on the capital plan, Katz said, “We plan to build a new 500-seat restaurant at the top of the Peak 7 chairlift at Breckenridge. This will improve the dining experience at the most visited ski resort in the United States with a modern restaurant located adjacent to the new Peak 6 terrain, which is not currently served by a major food and beverage venue. We are also upgrading the Sun Up chairlift at Vail Mountain (Chair 17), from a fixed grip triple to a high-speed four-passenger chairlift. This upgrade will increase capacity of the lift by approximately 40% and reduce the ride time to four minutes in a critical area for accessing Vail Mountain’s legendary Back Bowls. With this new addition, every major chairlift on Vail Mountain will be a high-speed chairlift and this will be Vail Mountain’s 9th new chairlift in the last ten years.  Our capital plan also includes the beginning of a two-year process to revamp our primary websites to a single ‘responsive’ desktop/mobile platform which will be integrated with our data-based and personalized marketing technology.  We will also be further upgrading our customer database, our call center technology, and remodeling the Pines Lodge at Beaver Creek.”

The Company also announced its plan to invest approximately $14 million in calendar year 2016 for Epic Discovery summer activities.  This capital will be focused on additional canopy tours, zip lines, climbing walls, hiking trails and nature education programming primarily at Breckenridge, with more modest spending at Vail and Heavenly.

Wilmot Acquisition

On January 19, 2016 the Company acquired Wilmot. Located approximately 65 miles north of Chicago, Illinois, Wilmot serves the Chicago area, which is one of Vail Resorts’ most important destination geographies with approximately 800,000 skiers and riders. The acquisition was completed for total cash consideration of approximately $20 million.

The Company is also announcing a plan to invest approximately $13 million in calendar year 2016 to dramatically enhance the guest experience at Wilmot. These investments will focus on modernized and expanded dining and entertainment offerings at the base area, the installation of three new lifts and other lift upgrades that will increase the area’s uphill capacity by 45%, a new children’s ski school facility, redesigned and updated terrain parks and upgrades to the snowmaking infrastructure that will nearly double snowmaking capacity to provide a more consistent experience throughout the ski season.  The Company expects the acquisition of Wilmot will contribute at least $4 million of incremental Resort Reported EBITDA in fiscal 2017.

Commenting on the acquisition and planned investment, Katz said, “The Wilmot acquisition and our planned capital investment represent an opportunity to meaningfully enhance the guest experience at the ski area, creating an incredible introduction to the sport for kids and adults, and building a stronger connection to our western resorts for skiers and riders in the Chicago area. We have achieved incredible success with our Urban strategy thus far and the Wilmot acquisition provides an opportunity for us to build on that success in one of our most important destination geographies.”

A complete Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations can be found in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the second fiscal quarter of 2016 ended January 31, 2016 filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The following are segment highlights:

(1) Mountain Reported EBITDA includes approximately $13 million of stock-based compensation.

(2) Lodging Reported EBITDA includes approximately $3 million of stock-based compensation.

(3) The Company provides Reported EBITDA ranges for the Mountain and Lodging segments, as well as for the two combined.  The low and high of the expected ranges provided for the Mountain and Lodging segments, while possible, do not sum to the high or low end of the Resort Reported EBITDA range provided because we do not expect or assume that we will hit the low or high end of both ranges.

(4) Real Estate Reported EBITDA includes approximately $1 million of stock-based compensation.

(5) Our guidance excludes any change in the fair value of contingent consideration which is based upon, among other things, financial projections including long-term growth rates for Park City, which such change may be material.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measures

When reporting financial results, we use the terms Reported EBITDA, Reported EBITDA excluding the non-cash gain on the Park Citylitigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Resort EBITDA Margin excluding the non-cash gain on the Park Citylitigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA, Net Debt, Net Real Estate Cash Flow, Lodging net revenue excluding payroll cost reimbursement, and Lodging operating expense excluding reimbursed payroll costs, which are not financial measures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define Reported EBITDA as segment net revenue less segment operating expense plus or minus segment equity investment income or loss plus gain on litigation settlement, and for the Real Estate segment plus gain on sale of real property. For Resort, we define Resort EBITDA Margin as Resort Reported EBITDA divided by Resort net revenue.  In this release, we also separately present Resort EBITDA Margin excluding the non-cash gain on the Park City litigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA. We define Net Debt as long-term debt plus long-term debt due within one year less cash and cash equivalents. For the Real Estate segment, we define Net Real Estate Cash Flow as Real Estate Reported EBITDA, plus non-cash real estate cost of sales, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and change in real estate deposits and recovery of previously incurred project costs/land basis less investment in real estate. For the Lodging segment, we primarily focus on Lodging net revenue excluding payroll cost reimbursement and Lodging operating expense excluding reimbursed payroll costs as the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, as such the revenue and corresponding expense have no effect on our Lodging Reported EBITDA, which we use to evaluate Lodging segment performance. Please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reported EBITDA, Reported EBITDA excluding the non-cash gain on the Park City litigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Resort EBITDA Margin excluding the non-cash gain on the Park City litigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA, Net Debt, and Net Real Estate Cash Flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and they might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reported EBITDA, Reported EBITDA excluding the non-cash gain on the Park Citylitigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Resort EBITDA Margin excluding the non-cash gain on the Park Citylitigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA, Net Debt, and Net Real Estate Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP including net income, net change in cash and cash equivalents or other financial statement data.

Reported EBITDA and Net Real Estate Cash Flow have been presented herein as measures of the Company’s performance. The Company believes that Reported EBITDA is an indicative measurement of the Company’s operating performance, and is similar to performance metrics generally used by investors to evaluate other companies in the resort and lodging industries. The Company primarily uses Reported EBITDA based targets in evaluating performance. For Resort, the Company defines Resort EBITDA Margin as Resort Reported EBITDA divided by Resort net revenue, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, as the Company believes it is an important measurement of operating performance. In this release, the Company also separately presents Resort EBITDA Margin excluding the non-cash gain on the Park City litigation settlement and Perisher EBITDA. The Company believes that Net Debt is an important measurement of liquidity as it is an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital resources for its future cash needs. Additionally, the Company believes Net Real Estate Cash Flow is important as a cash flow indicator for its Real Estate segment.

Presented below is a reconciliation of Reported EBITDA to net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three and six months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015.
