What the filing says
Vail Resorts reported fiscal 2026 net income of $147.5M (down from $280.0M prior year) and Resort Reported EBITDA of $745.7M (down from $844.1M), driven by historically severe weather across western U.S., particularly in Rockies. Pass product unit sales declined ~12% and days sold ~10% through September 18, 2026. For FY2027, company projects net income of $158–233M and Resort EBITDA of $805–865M, assuming normal weather and reflecting $25M incremental cost efficiencies and ancillary revenue growth, partially offset by lower pass demand and inflationary pressures.
Why this rating
FY2026 earnings fell 47% on temporary weather shock (historic low snowfall), but recovery guidance suggests transient event. Pass demand weakness and margin pressure are concerning; FY2027 guidance midpoint EBITDA ($835M) still ~1.3% below FY2026, indicating structural challenges persist. Relative to $6.3B market cap, ~$100M EBITDA swing is material but company remains solvent with $800M liquidity and 3.9x net debt/EBITDA.
