**PART I**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS.**

**General**

Vail Resorts, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to throughout this document as "we," "us," "our" or the "Company."

Vail Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was organized as a holding company in 1997 and operates through various subsidiaries. Our operations are grouped into three reportable segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate, which represented approximately 89%, 11% and 0%, respectively, of our net revenue for our fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 ("Fiscal 2025").

Our Mountain segment operates 42 world-class destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas (collectively, our "Resorts"). Additionally, the Mountain segment includes ancillary services, primarily including ski school, dining and retail/rental operations.

In the Lodging segment, we own and/or manage a collection of luxury hotels and condominiums under our RockResorts brand, other strategic lodging properties and a large number of condominiums located in proximity to our North American mountain resorts, National Park Service ("NPS") concessioner properties including the Grand Teton Lodge Company ("GTLC"), which operates destination resorts in Grand Teton National Park, a Colorado resort ground transportation company and mountain resort golf courses.

We refer to "Resort" as the combination of the Mountain and Lodging segments. Our Real Estate segment owns, develops and sells real estate in and around our resort communities.

In addition to providing extensive guest amenities, we also lease some of our owned and leased commercial space to third party operators to add unique restaurants and retail stores to the mix of amenities at the base of our resorts.

Many of our destination mountain resorts operate year-round and provide a comprehensive resort experience to a diverse clientele with an attractive demographic profile. We offer a broad complement of winter and summer recreational activities, including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowtubing, sightseeing, mountain biking, guided hiking, zip lines, challenge ropes courses, alpine slides, mountain coasters, children's activities and other recreational activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Andermatt-Sedrun ("Andermatt-Sedrun") - located approximately 70 miles (110 kilometers) from Zurich, Switzerland in the Ursern Valley of the Swiss Alps and approximately 200 miles (320 kilometers) from Geneva, Switzerland. Andermatt-Sedrun offers nearly 75 miles (120 kilometers) of varied terrain and a top elevation of 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) across the mountains of Andermatt, Sedrun and Gemsstock, with connected access to Disentis, which is independently owned. The ski area spans over 10 miles (16 kilometers) of scenic high alpine terrain between Andermatt and Sedrun, including the iconic Oberalp Pass, and is connected by the Matterhorn Gothard Bahn, a railway which operates year-round.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Crans-Montana Mountain Resort ("Crans-Montana") - during Fiscal 2024, we acquired a controlling interest in Crans-Montana, marking our second owned and operated resort in Europe. Crans-Montana Mountain Resort is located in the Valais canton of Switzerland, approximately 125 miles (200 kilometers) from Geneva and approximately 190 miles (310 kilometers) from Zurich. The resort spans nearly 4,600 feet (1,400 meters) of skiable vertical terrain, and approximately 87 miles (140 kilometers) of trails. Crans-Montana has a legacy of being a renowned outdoor sports destination, having hosted signature events such as the Ski World Cup, Mountain Bike World Cup, Omega European Masters and Caprices Festival. The commune of Crans-Montana has gourmet restaurants and luxury retail stores, as well as five-star hotels. Additionally, the International Ski Federation Council has awarded the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2027 to Crans-Montana.

***Regional Ski Areas***

Our ski resort network allows us to connect guests with drive-to access and destination resort access on a single pass product. Building a presence near major metropolitan areas with large populations enables us to drive advance commitment pass product sales among a broad array of guests.

------

*<u>Northeast</u>*

We own and operate eight regional ski areas in the Northeast that we believe provide a compelling regional and local connection to guests within driving distance from the New York, Boston and the greater New England markets. Stowe is the premier, high-end regional ski area in the Northeast offering outstanding skiing and an exceptional base area experience. Okemo and Mount Snow are compelling regional destinations serving guests in the New York metropolitan area and throughout New England. Hunter Mountain is a day-trip ski area primarily serving the New York metropolitan area. Additionally, we own four ski areas in New Hampshire serving guests throughout New England.

*<u>Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania)</u>*

We own and operate eight regional ski areas in the Mid-Atlantic region serving guests in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Southern New Jersey, Baltimore and Washington D.C. Our presence in the region allows us to offer compelling local options and easy overnight weekend and holiday trips, which are within driving distance from these markets.

*<u>Midwest</u>*

We own and operate ten regional ski areas in the Midwest that draw guests from Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Kansas City and Louisville, among others. Located within close proximity to major metropolitan markets, these ski areas provide beginners with easy access to beginner ski programs and many also offer night skiing for young adults and families. Additionally, the proximity of these ski areas to metropolitan areas allows for regular usage by avid skiers.

*<u>Pacific Northwest (U.S.)</u>*

Located less than 85 miles from Seattle on the crest of Washington State's Cascade Range, Stevens Pass Resort ("Stevens Pass") offers terrain for all levels across more than 1,100 acres of skiable terrain. Stevens Pass has operated for over 80 years and is known for its numerous bowls, glades and faces, as well as extensive lighted terrain for skiing and riding well into the evening.

*<u>Australia</u>*

Australia is an important market for both domestic skiing during the Australian winter and as a source of international visitation to the Northern Hemisphere in the Australian off-season, with typically over one million estimated Australian skier visits annually to North America, Europe and Japan. We own three of the five largest ski areas in Australia, which we serve with the Epic Australia Pass, an Australian dollar denominated pass product marketed specifically to Australian guests. Perisher, located in New South Wales, is the largest ski resort in Australia and targets guests in the Sydney metropolitan area and the broader New South Wales market, while Falls Creek and Mount Hotham are two of the largest ski areas in Victoria and target guests in the Melbourne metropolitan area and the broader Victoria market.

<u>Ski Industry/Competition</u>

There are approximately 780 ski areas operating in North America with approximately 490 in the U.S., ranging from small ski area operations that service day skiers to large resorts that attract both day skiers and destination guests looking for a comprehensive vacation experience. During the 2024/2025 North American ski season, combined skier visits for all ski areas in North America were approximately 81.1 million. Our North American Resorts had approximately 15.4 million skier visits during the 2024/2025 ski season, representing approximately 18.9% of North American skier visits.

There is limited opportunity for development of new destination ski resorts due to the limited private lands on which ski areas can be built, the difficulty in obtaining the appropriate governmental approvals to build on public lands and the significant capital needed to construct the necessary infrastructure. As such, there have been virtually no new destination ski resorts of scale in North America for nearly 45 years, which has allowed and should continue to allow the best-positioned destination resorts to benefit from future industry growth. Our resorts compete with other major destination mountain resorts, including, among others, Aspen Snowmass, Deer Valley, Jackson Hole, Copper Mountain, Steamboat, Winter Park, Snowbird, Palisades Tahoe, Killington, Mammoth, St. Moritz and Zermatt, as well as other ski areas in Colorado, California, Nevada, Utah, the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast, the Southwest, British Columbia, Canada, Australia and Switzerland, and other destination ski areas worldwide as well as non-ski related vacation options and destinations. Additionally, our pass products compete with other single and multi-resort frequency pass products in North America, including the IKON Pass, the Mountain Collective Pass and various regional and local pass products.

The ski industry statistics stated in this section have been derived primarily from data published by the Canadian Ski Council and Kottke National End of Season Surveys as well as other industry publications.

<u>Our Competitive Strengths</u>

We believe our premier resorts and business model differentiate our Company from the rest of the ski industry. We own and operate some of the most iconic, branded destination mountain resorts in geographically diverse and important ski destinations in North America, including Colorado, Utah, Lake Tahoe and the Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia, Canada. These resorts are complemented by regional ski areas in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, which are strategically positioned near key U.S. population centers, as well as three ski areas in Australia and two ski resorts in Switzerland. Through our data-driven marketing analytics and personalized marketing capabilities, we target increased penetration of ski pass products, providing our guests with a strong value proposition in return for guests committing to ski or ride at our resorts prior to, or very early into the ski season, which we believe attracts more guests to our resorts. We believe we invest in more capital improvements than our competitors and we create synergies through our owned and operated network of resorts, which enhances our profitability by enabling customers to access our network of resorts with our pass products. Many of our destination mountain resorts located in the U.S. typically rank in the most visited ski resorts in the U.S. (five of the top ten for the 2024/2025 U.S. ski season), and most of our destination mountain resorts are consistently in the top ranked ski resorts in North America according to industry surveys, which we attribute to our ability to provide a high-quality experience.

We believe the following factors contribute directly to each Resort's success:

*Exceptional Mountain Experience*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• World-Class Destination Mountain Resorts and Integrated Base Resort Areas

Our destination mountain resorts offer a multitude of skiing and snowboarding experiences for the beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert levels. Each destination mountain resort is fully integrated into expansive resort base areas offering a broad array of lodging, dining, retail, nightlife and other amenities, some of which we own or manage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Snow Conditions

Our Resorts in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado and Utah, the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Lake Tahoe and the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada generally receive abundant snowfall each year, but we have invested significantly in snowmaking systems in these areas which help to provide a more consistent guest experience, especially in the early season.

We have made significant investments in our snowmaking systems within the past several years that have transformed the early-season terrain experience at Vail, Keystone, Beaver Creek and Park City. Our other ski areas receive less snowfall than our western North American mountain resorts, but we have invested in snowmaking operations at these resorts in order to provide a consistent experience for our guests. In calendar year 2025, the Company invested in snowmaking projects at Andermatt-Sedrun in order to enhance the early season guest experience and improve energy efficiency. Since calendar year 2015 we have invested over $100 million in improved snowmaking capabilities across our network. Additionally, we provide several hundred acres of groomed terrain at each of our mountain resorts with extensive fleets of snow grooming equipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lift Service

We systematically upgrade our lifts and put in new lifts to increase uphill capacity and streamline skier traffic to maximize the guest experience. Discretionary capital expenditures expected for the remainder of calendar year 2025 include, among other projects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• replacing Perisher's Double and Triple Chairs with a new high-speed six-person lift, which was completed in advance of the 2025 winter season in Australia; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• replacing Park City's fixed-grip two-person lift with a new ten-person Sunrise Gondola in partnership with Canyons Village Management Association, which will provide improved access and enhanced guest experience for existing and future developments within Canyons Village.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Since calendar year 2015 we have invested over $500 million in lift upgrades and new lifts across our network, which meaningfully increased lift capacity and reduced wait times at those lift locations, including three new or replacement lifts across two Resorts for the 2024/2025 North American ski season. Significant investments in the past ten years include, among other projects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• replacing Whistler Blackcomb's existing four-person high-speed Jersey Cream lift with a new six-person high-speed lift;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Terrain Parks

We are committed to leading the industry in terrain park design, education and events for the growing segment of freestyle skiers and snowboarders. Each of our destination mountain resorts has multiple terrain parks that include progressively-challenging features. These park structures, coupled with freestyle ski school programs, promote systematic learning from basic to professional skills.

*Extraordinary Service and Amenities*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commitment to the Guest Experience

Our focus is to provide quality service at every touch point of the guest journey. Prior to arrival at our mountain resorts, guests can receive personal assistance through our full-service, central reservations group and through our comprehensive websites to book desired lodging accommodations, lift tickets and pass products, ski school lessons, equipment rentals, activities and other resort services. Upon arrival, our resort staff serve as ambassadors to engage guests, answer questions and foster a customer-focused environment. We are also committed to ongoing technological innovation as a means to further enhance the quality of the guest experience and continue to shape our industry and culture. We recently achieved the following technological milestones:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• My Epic mobile application ("My Epic App") - My Epic App allows our guests to purchase their pass product or lift ticket online and access our Resorts via the new app, utilizing hands free Bluetooth® technology, eliminating the need to wait in line to purchase lift tickets. In addition, the My Epic App allows guests to capture their activity on the mountain (e.g. number of ski days, vertical feet skied and chairlift activity); provides current trail maps along with real-time trail and lift status; allows guests to access real and forecasted lift line wait times; and provides information regarding parking, dining, events and other on-mountain activities. The My Epic App also provides access to My Epic Gear, My Epic Assistant and the new Ski & Ride School features, as discussed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• My Epic Gear - During the 2023/2024 North American ski season, we launched a new gear membership program, My Epic Gear, which provides members with the ability to choose the gear they want from a selection of popular ski and snowboard models, and have that gear delivered to them when and where they want it, with free slopeside pick up and drop off. My Epic Gear is designed to allow users to manage their entire experience from gear selection to boot fitting to delivery all from our My Epic App. This program is now offered at a total of 12 destination and regional resorts across North America, including a recent expansion into kids' gear.

We also solicit guest feedback through a variety of surveys and results, which are used to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction, understand trends and develop future resort programs and amenities. We then utilize this guest feedback to help us focus our capital spending and operational efforts on the areas of the greatest need.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Frontline Talent

Our talent philosophy is designed to enable us to fully achieve our mission and vision by ensuring we have the talent in place to deliver on our future growth plans, and we believe our frontline talent is a strategic advantage. Over the past several years, ongoing investments in frontline talent have driven strong staffing levels, with high engagement and season-to-season return rates, enabling our mountain resorts to deliver strong guest experience results, including on-mountain activities as well as at our restaurants, lodging, ski and ride school, and retail/rental locations. For more information, refer to the "Human Capital Management" section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Season Pass & Epic Day Pass Products

We offer a variety of pass products, primarily season pass and Epic Day Pass products, for all of our Resorts that are marketed towards both out-of-state and international ("Destination") guests as well as in-state and local ("Local") guests. These pass products are available for purchase prior to the start of the ski season, offering our guests value in exchange for their commitment to pass products with access to our Resorts before the season begins. Our pass program drives strong customer loyalty and mitigates exposure to more weather sensitive guests, leading to greater revenue stability and allowing us to capture valuable guest data. Additionally, our pass product customers typically ski more days each season than those guests who do not buy pass products, which leads to additional ancillary spending. In addition, our pass products attract new guests to our Resorts. For Fiscal 2025, our pass products generated approximately 65% of our total lift revenue and approximately 75% of total visitation (excluding complimentary access). Sales of pass products are a key component of our overall Mountain segment revenue and help create strong synergies among our Resorts. Our pass product offerings range from providing access for a certain number of days to one or a combination of our Resorts 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 offerings. All of our various pass product options can be found on our consumer website www.snow.com. Information on our websites does not constitute part of this document.

------

As part of our continued strategy to drive pass product sales and create a stronger connection between key skier markets and our iconic destination mountain resorts, we have continued to expand our portfolio of properties in recent years. We acquired Crans-Montana and Andermatt-Sedrun in May 2024 and August 2022, respectively. These acquisitions represent strategic investments to operate ski resorts in Europe as a part of our continued focus to expand our network of resort offerings, which provides a differentiated suite of options to our guests. In December 2021, we acquired Seven Springs Mountain Resort, Hidden Valley Resort and Laurel Mountain Ski Area in Pennsylvania (collectively, the "Seven Springs Resorts"), which added three regional ski areas strategically located near Pittsburgh, expanding our presence in the Mid-Atlantic region and generating incremental drive-to business from other major metropolitan areas such as Washington DC, Baltimore and Cleveland. Additionally, we enter into strategic long-term season pass alliance agreements with third-party mountain resorts, which for the 2025/2026 ski season 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, which further increase the value proposition of our pass products.

Pass product holders also receive additional value in exchange for their advance commitment through our Epic Mountain Rewards program, which provides pass product holders a discount of 20% off on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, group ski school lessons, equipment rentals and more at our North American owned and operated Resorts. Epic Mountain Rewards is available for everyone who purchases an Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass, Epic Day Pass, Epic Military Pass and most of our other pass products, regardless of whether guests plan to ski one day or every day of the season. Additionally, Epic Coverage is included with the purchase of all pass products for no additional charge and provides refunds in the event of certain resort closures and certain travel restrictions, giving pass holders a refund for any portion of the season that is lost due to qualifying circumstances. Epic Coverage also provides refunds for qualifying personal circumstances including eligible injuries, job losses and other personal events.

Beginning in the 2025/2026 North American ski season, we are launching Epic Friend Tickets as a new benefit for our season-long pass holders. Pass Holders with an Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass, Epic Military Pass, Northeast Value Pass, and most of the Company's other season-long passes will receive up to ten Epic Friend Tickets, depending on when they purchased their Pass. Epic Friend Tickets provide 50% off lift tickets at the company's 37 North American resorts for the 2025/26 winter season. Plus, friends can also apply 100% of the cost of one redeemed Epic Friend Ticket toward an eligible 2026/27 Epic Pass. Epic Friend Tickets replace and upgrade the former Pass benefits, Buddy Tickets and Ski With A Friend, which generally offered much lower savings on lift ticket prices, and which varied by resort. This program is designed to enhance the value proposition of our pass products by encouraging social engagement and increasing trial among prospective guests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Premier Ski Schools

Our mountain resorts are home to some of the highest quality and most widely recognized ski schools in the industry. Through a combination of outstanding training and abundant work opportunities, our ski schools have become home to many of the most experienced and credentialed professionals in the business. We complement our instructor staff with state-of-the-art facilities and extensive learning terrain, all with a keen attention to guest needs. We offer a wide variety of adult and child group and private lesson options with a goal of creating lifelong skiers and riders and showcasing to our guests all the terrain our resorts have to offer.

During the 2024/2025 North American ski season, we announced the new Ski and Ride School in the My Epic App which is scheduled to launch for the upcoming 2025/2026 North American ski season. The Ski and Ride School in the My Epic App is a new technology that creates a seamless, connected and next-level ski and ride school experience. Beginning in the 2025/2026 North American ski season, Ski and Ride School features will be automatically available in the My Epic App for group lesson participants at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone, offering digital check-in, real-time lesson updates, photo sharing, skills tracking, milestone badges and more.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dining

Our Resorts provide a variety of quality on-mountain and base village dining venues, ranging from top-rated fine dining restaurants to on-mountain express service restaurants. For the 2024/2025 ski season, we operated approximately 274 dining venues at our Resorts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Retail/Rental

We have approximately 340 retail/rental locations specializing in sporting goods including ski, snowboard and cycling equipment. Several of our rental locations offer delivery services, bringing ski and snowboard gear and expert advice directly to our guests. In addition to providing a major retail/rental presence at each of our Resorts, we also have retail/

------

rental locations throughout the Colorado Front Range and in Minneapolis. During the 2023/2024 North American ski season, we launched a new gear membership program, My Epic Gear, which reimagines the traditional gear rental and ownership model, with the goal of providing more choices, at a lower cost and less hassle to our customers. This program is now offered at a total of 12 destination and regional resorts across North America, including a recent expansion into kids' gear. My Epic Gear provides members with the ability to choose the gear they want from a selection of popular ski and snowboard models, and have it delivered to them when and where they want it, with free slopeside pick up and drop off.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On-Mountain Activities

We are a ski industry leader in providing comprehensive destination vacation experiences, including on-mountain activities designed to appeal to a broad range of interests. During the winter season, in addition to our offered ski experiences, guests can choose from a variety of non-ski related activities such as snowtubing, snowshoeing, scenic snow cat tours, backcountry expeditions, horse-drawn sleigh rides and high-altitude dining. During the summer season, our mountain resorts offer non-ski related recreational activities including scenic chairlift and gondola rides, mountain biking, horseback riding, guided hiking, 4x4 Jeep tours and our Epic Discovery program at Vail Mountain, Heavenly and Breckenridge. The Epic Discovery program encourages "learn through play" by featuring environmental educational elements interspersed between numerous activities, consisting of zip lines, children's activities, challenge ropes courses, tubing, mountain excursions, an alpine slide and alpine coasters. The Mountain segment also operates several company-owned mountain resort golf courses, including three in Colorado, one in Vermont and two in Pennsylvania.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lodging and Real Estate

High quality lodging options are an integral part of providing a complete resort experience. Our owned and managed properties proximate to our mountain resorts, including six RockResorts branded properties (with a seventh RockResorts property planned for opening in Keystone, Colorado during the 2025/2026 North American ski season) and a significant inventory of managed condominium units, provide numerous accommodation options for our mountain resort guests. Our recent real estate efforts have primarily focused on the potential to expand our destination bed base and upgrade our resorts through the sale of land parcels to third-party developers, which in turn provides opportunity for the development of condominiums, luxury hotels, parking and commercial space for restaurants and retail shops. Our Lodging and Real Estate segments have and continue to invest in resort related assets and amenities or seek opportunities to expand and enhance the overall resort experience.

**Lodging Segment**

Our Lodging segment includes owned and managed lodging properties, including those under our luxury hotel brand, RockResorts; managed condominium units which are in and around our mountain resorts in Colorado, Lake Tahoe, Utah, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania and British Columbia, Canada; two NPS concessioner properties in and near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming; a resort ground transportation company in Colorado; and company-owned and operated mountain resort golf courses managed by our Lodging operations, including two in Colorado, one in Wyoming, one in Lake Tahoe, California, and one in Park City, Utah. For additional property details, see Item 2. "Properties".

The Lodging segment currently includes approximately 5,000 owned and managed hotel rooms and condominium units. Our lodging strategy seeks to complement and enhance our mountain resort operations through our ownership or management of lodging properties and condominiums proximate to our mountain resorts and selective management of luxury resort hotels in premier destination locations.

In addition to our portfolio of owned and managed luxury resort hotels and other hotels and properties, our lodging business also includes a Colorado ground transportation company, which represents the first point of contact with many of our guests when they arrive by air to Colorado. We offer year-round ground transportation from Denver International Airport and Eagle County Airport to the Vail Valley (locations in and around Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon and Edwards) and Summit County (which includes Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Frisco and Silverthorne).

*<u>Lodging Industry/Market</u>*

Hotels are categorized by Smith Travel Research, a leading lodging industry research firm, as luxury, upper upscale, upscale, upper midscale, midscale and economy. The service quality and level of accommodations of our RockResorts' hotels place them in the luxury segment, which represents hotels achieving the highest average daily rates ("ADR") in the industry, and includes such brands as the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and Marriott's Luxury Collection hotels. Our other hotels are categorized in the upper upscale and upscale segments of the hotel market. The luxury and upper upscale segments consist of

approximately 890,000 rooms at approximately 3,000 properties in the U.S. as of July 31, 2025. For Fiscal 2025, our owned hotels, which include a combination of RockResort hotels as well as other hotels in proximity to our Resorts, had an overall ADR of $325.65, a paid occupancy rate of 52.4% and revenue per available room ("RevPAR") of $170.70, as compared to the upper upscale segment's ADR of $228.67, a paid occupancy rate of 68.5% and RevPAR of $156.74. We believe that this comparison to the upper upscale segment is appropriate as our mix of owned hotels include those in the luxury and upper upscale segments, as well as some of our hotels that fall in the upscale segment. The highly seasonal nature of our lodging properties typically results in lower average occupancy as compared to the upper upscale segment of the lodging industry as a whole.

*<u>Competition</u>*

Competition in the hotel industry is generally based on quality and consistency of rooms, restaurants, meeting facilities and services, the attractiveness of locations, availability of a global distribution system and price. Our properties compete within their geographic markets with hotels and resorts that include locally-owned independent hotels, as well as facilities owned or managed by national and international chains, including such brands as Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Ritz-Carlton and Westin. Our properties also compete for convention and conference business across the national market. We believe we are highly competitive in the resort hotel niche for the following reasons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all of our hotels are located in unique, highly desirable resort destinations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our hotel portfolio has achieved some of the most prestigious hotel designations in the world, including two properties in our portfolio that are currently rated as AAA 4-Diamond;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• many of our hotels (both owned and managed) are designed to provide a look that feels indigenous to their surroundings, enhancing the guest's vacation experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our RockResorts hotels provides the same high level of quality and services, while still providing unique characteristics which distinguish the resorts from one another. This appeals to travelers looking for consistency in quality and service offerings together with an experience more unique than typically offered by larger luxury hotel chains;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• many of the hotels in our portfolio provide a wide array of amenities available to the guest such as access to world-class ski and golf resorts, spa and fitness facilities, water sports and a number of other outdoor activities, as well as highly acclaimed dining options;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• conference space with the latest technology is available at most of our hotels. In addition, guests at Keystone can use our company-owned Keystone Conference Center, the largest conference facility in the Colorado Rocky Mountain region with more than 100,000 square feet of meeting, exhibit and function space. The Seven Springs Resorts also provide conference services, offering over 77,000 square feet of meeting and function space;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we have a central reservations system that leverages our mountain resort reservations system and has an online planning and booking platform, offering our guests a seamless and useful way to make reservations at our resorts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we actively upgrade the quality of the accommodations and amenities available at our hotels through capital improvements. Capital funding for third-party owned properties is provided by the owners of those properties to maintain standards required by our management contracts.

*<u>National Park Concessioner Properties</u>*

We own GTLC, which is based in the Jackson Hole area of Wyoming and operates within Grand Teton National Park under a concession agreement with the NPS with an initial term that would have expired on December 31, 2021. In June 2021, we agreed to an amendment extending the term of the agreement by an additional two years, with an expiration date of December 31, 2023. Additionally, in November 2023 and 2024, we agreed to an amendment to the agreement extending the term until December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The NPS has released a contract solicitation for the services offered by GTLC, and we intend to timely submit a bid on behalf of the Company. We currently expect that our existing agreement will be extended for an additional one year through December 31, 2026 due to the time needed for solicitation, preparation, review and award of a new contract. We expect the NPS to confirm this extension in the fall of 2025. We also own Flagg Ranch, located in Moran, Wyoming and centrally located between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park on the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway (the "Parkway"). Flagg Ranch operates under a concession agreement with the NPS that expires October 31, 2028. GTLC also owns Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club ("JHG&TC"), located outside Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming. GTLC's operations within Grand Teton National Park and JHG&TC have operating seasons that generally run from mid-May through the end of September.

We primarily compete with such companies as Aramark Parks & Resorts, Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts, ExploreUS and Xanterra Parks & Resorts in retaining and obtaining NPS concession agreements. Four full-service

------

concessioners provide accommodations within Grand Teton National Park, including GTLC. In a normal operating season, GTLC offers three lodging options within Grand Teton National Park: Jackson Lake Lodge, a full-service, 385-room resort with 17,000 square feet of conference facilities; Jenny Lake Lodge, a small, rustically elegant retreat with 37 cabins; and Colter Bay Village, a facility with 166 log cabins, 66 tent cabins, 337 campsites and a 112-space recreational vehicle park. We also operate two additional campgrounds separate from these facilities: the 304-site Gros Ventre Campground and 51-site Jenny Lake Campground. GTLC offers dining options as extensive as its lodging options, with cafeterias, casual eateries and fine dining establishments. Additionally we operate 11 retail outlets located throughout the GTLC properties. GTLC's resorts provide a wide range of activities for guests to enjoy, including cruises on Jackson Lake, boat rentals, horseback riding, guided fishing, float trips, golf and guided Grand Teton National Park tours. As a result of the extensive amenities offered, as well as the tremendous popularity of the National Park System, GTLC's accommodations within Grand Teton National Park generally operate near full capacity during their operating season.

**Real Estate Segment**

We have extensive holdings of real property at our mountain resorts primarily throughout Summit and Eagle counties in Colorado, as well as proximate to our resorts in Park City and Whistler Blackcomb. 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. In addition to the cash flow generated from real estate development sales, these development activities benefit our Mountain and Lodging segments by (1) creating additional resort lodging and other resort related facilities and venues (primarily restaurants, spas, commercial space, private mountain clubs, skier services facilities and parking structures) that provide us with the opportunity to create new sources of recurring revenue, enhance the guest experience and expand our destination bed base; (2) controlling the architectural themes of our resorts; and (3) expanding our property management and commercial leasing operations.

**Marketing and Sales**

Our Mountain segment's marketing and sales efforts are focused on leveraging marketing analytics to drive targeted and personalized marketing to our existing and prospective guests. We capture guest data on the vast majority of guest transactions through sales of our pass products, lift tickets, ski and ride school products, gear rentals, and lodging properties on our e-commerce platform, as well as through our mobile applications and our lift ticket windows. We promote our Resorts using guest-centric omni-channel marketing campaigns leveraging email, direct mail, promotional programs, digital marketing (including social, influencer, search and display) and traditional media advertising where appropriate (e.g. targeted print, TV and radio). We also have marketing programs directed at attracting groups, corporate meetings and convention business. Most of our marketing efforts drive traffic to our websites, where we provide our guests with information regarding each of our Resorts, including services and amenities, reservations information, virtual tours and the opportunity to book/purchase our full suite of products (e.g. lift access, lodging, ski and ride school, rentals, etc.) for their visits. We also enter into strategic alliances with companies to enhance the guest experience at our Resorts, as well as to create opportunities for cross-marketing.

For our Lodging segment, we promote our hotels and lodging properties through marketing and sales programs, which include marketing directly to many of our guests through our digital channels (search, social and display), promotional programs and print media advertising, all of which are designed to drive traffic to our websites and central reservations call center. We also promote comprehensive vacation experiences through various package offerings and promotions (combining lodging, lift tickets, ski school lessons, ski rental equipment, transportation and dining). In addition, our hotels have active sales forces to generate conference and group business. We market our resort properties in conjunction with our mountain resort marketing efforts where appropriate, given the strong synergies across the two businesses.

Across both the Mountain and Lodging segments, sales made through our websites and call center allow us to transact directly with our guests, which further expands our customer base and enables analytics to deliver an increasingly guest-centric marketing experience.

**Seasonality**

Ski resort operations are highly seasonal in nature, with a typical ski season in North America and Europe generally beginning in mid-November and running through mid-April. In an effort to partially mitigate the concentration of our revenue in the winter months in North America, we offer several non-ski related activities in the summer months such as sightseeing, mountain biking, guided hiking, mountain coasters, ziplines, golf (primarily included in the operations of the Lodging segment) and our Epic Discovery program. These activities also help attract destination conference and group business to our Resorts in our off-season. In addition, the operating results of our Australian Resorts, where the ski season generally occurs from June through early October, partially counterbalances the concentration of our revenues during this seasonally lower period in North America.

Our lodging business is also highly seasonal in nature, with peak seasons primarily in the winter months (with the exception of GTLC, Flagg Ranch, certain managed properties and mountain resort golf operations). We actively promote our extensive conference facilities and have added more off-season activities to help offset the seasonality of our lodging business. Additionally, we operate several golf courses proximate to our Resorts, as described above.

**Sustainability & Social Responsibility**

Sustainability remains a core philosophy for us. As a company rooted in the great outdoors, we have a unique responsibility to protect and preserve the incredible environments in which we operate. Our corporate sustainability and social responsibility department is comprised of four key pillars: Sustainability, Community Support, Employee Foundation, and Access to Snowsports. Our core values fuel our commitment to protecting the environments in which we operate; investing in our employees; supporting our communities; and growing participation in skiing and snowboarding. The environment is our business, and we focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation, resource conservation and building stronger local communities through contributions to local non-profit organizations. Vail Resorts launched Commitment to Zero in 2017, our bold goal to reach a zero net operating footprint by 2030. This commitment includes (i) achieving zero net emissions by finding operational energy efficiencies, investing in renewable energy and investing in offsets and other emissions reduction projects, (ii) zero waste to landfill and (iii) zero net operating impact to forests and habitat by restoring an acre of forest for every acre permanently impacted by our new and expanded operations.

As a result of this commitment, Vail Resorts was accepted as the first travel and tourism company into RE100, a collaborative initiative uniting more than 400 global and influential businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity. As a result of our community conversation climate series, a forward-thinking initiative to strengthen community resilience and sustainability, we were awarded the National Ski Area Association's ("NSAA") Golden Eagle Award for Innovation in Sustainability at the 2025 NSAA annual conference. During Fiscal 2025, we continued to make progress toward our Commitment to Zero goals by reducing emissions through energy management and renewable electricity procurement, reducing waste to landfill through our robust compost and recycling programs, and restoring 100% of the forest acres permanently impacted by our operations in calendar year 2024.

Through direct EpicPromise grants and contributions from our $1 guest donation program, we partnered with several local environmental organizations to fund environmental stewardship projects, including the National Forest Foundation, the Tahoe Fund, Grand Teton National Park Foundation, Mountain Trails Foundation in Park City and the EnviroFund at Whistler Blackcomb. We also continue to encourage our employees to help protect the environment and support their local community by volunteering with various local organizations. Vail Resorts was recognized by Newsweek as one of the "Most Trustworthy Companies in America" in 2025, 2024 and 2023, which we believe reflects our focus on building customer, investor, and employee trust through listening, learning and adapting to the needs of our team members and guests, while remaining responsible stewards through our industry-leading sustainability efforts.

For Fiscal 2025, our focus for the EpicPromise community impact grant program focused on larger grants in key communities to support housing and childcare. In addition, support continues to be given for food security, equal access to education and other basic needs and services. In the fourth year of our Epic for Everyone - Youth Access in partnership with the Katz Amsterdam Foundation, we hosted nearly 2,600 metro youth to attend a 5-day snowsports program. We also continued our legacy access program focused on mountain resort communities, in total hosting more than 12,000 youth participating in multi-day programs focused on mentorship, leadership and the beneficial impact of outdoor time on mental health. Finally, our EpicPromise Employee Foundation (the "Foundation"), which was established in 2015, is a charitable foundation funded by annual contributions from the Company, its employees and its guests. The Foundation supports Vail Resorts' employees and their families via grants for emergency relief and scholarships. Annually more than $1.0 million in grants and scholarships are provided to help employees in times of need or to pursue educational opportunities.

**Human Capital Management**

At Vail Resorts, our talent philosophy is designed to enable us to fully achieve our mission and vision by ensuring we have the talent in place to deliver on our future growth plans. We are truly passionate about our people, and we are focused on attracting, developing and retaining the best talent and building the best teams around them. Our human capital strategy focuses on creating an inclusive workplace culture that enables all employees to reach their full potential through merit-based advancement opportunities, comprehensive development programs, and fair employment practices. At fiscal year end, we employed approximately 6,800 year-round employees. Over the course of our Resorts' various winter and summer operating seasons in Fiscal 2025, we employed approximately 39,800 seasonal employees. In addition, we employed approximately 280 year-round employees and 150 seasonal employees on behalf of the owners of our managed hotel properties. We consider our employee relations to be positive.

The Vail Resorts talent philosophy recognizes that people are our most important asset in driving our business growth, and outlines the role that leaders play in attracting, developing, engaging, retaining and rewarding high performing, high potential talent, including supporting them to achieve their future career growth. Over the past several years, ongoing investments in frontline talent have driven strong staffing levels, with high engagement and season-to-season return rates, enabling our mountain resorts to deliver strong guest experience results, including on-mountain activities as well as at our restaurants, lodging, ski and ride school, and retail/rental locations. These investments included: (i) competitive wages and benefits for all of our hourly employees, including seasonal frontline staff; (ii) investments in our human resource systems and processes to support full staffing and deliver enhanced employee experience; (iii) investments in differentiated frontline training and leadership development programming; (iv) investments in mental health and wellness programming, made available to all employees, even if they are not enrolled in an employer-sponsored healthcare plan, which includes free mental health therapy sessions; and (v) investments in unique employee benefits, including ski passes for employees and dependents, complementary ski/ride coupons and a 40% discount for retail and rental gear. Collectively, we believe these investments helped attract top frontline talent from the external market and drove strong frontline retention and return rates.

To ensure we are building high performing teams, we encourage every employee at every level within the Company to continuously grow their leadership by participating in ongoing events that build leadership capability and drive aligned leadership expectations to enable business outcomes. We offer a broad range of professionally designed development programs, including tailored development for our highest performing, highest potential employees who make up our long-term leadership succession pipeline, as well as programs for our seasonal, frontline talent, designed to ensure we deliver a differentiated guest experience through service-based leadership. We also leverage a quarterly continuous listening survey to measure and understand the key drivers of sustainable engagement among our employees, make timely adjustments to maintain strong alignment, and to care for the needs of our employees. We reinforce the principles of these programs through in-resort frontline recognition programs and manager-led career development conversations for frontline staff.

*<u>Vail Resorts Culture</u>*

Core to our human capital management strategy is our mission – to create an *Experience of a Lifetime* for our employees so they can in turn create an *Experience of a Lifetime* for our guests. We have a values-based leadership culture that places a premium on leader transparency, vulnerability and authenticity. We look for people to join Vail Resorts who are brave, passionate and ambitious. As Vail Resorts employees, we hold ourselves accountable for living these seven core values every day in everything we do: Serve Others, Do Right, Do Good, Be Safe, Have Fun, Be Inclusive and Drive Value.

We engage our team members by fostering a supportive, values-based culture and workplace. We believe our culture is core to driving and sustaining future growth for the Company.

Our "Be Inclusive" core value is foundational to the business imperative of driving and sustaining future growth and means that we expect everyone at our Company to be welcoming to others, including all backgrounds, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities and other differences. Our "Elevate" leadership competency further focuses all our leaders to be self-aware of their own behavior so they can foster environments where everyone can thrive.

We are also committed to providing our employees with an *Experience of a Lifetime*. We have a holistic set of total rewards programs designed to support all aspects of that experience for all, and we strive for competitiveness against the external market for talent. In addition, we conduct regular pay equity audits and make adjustments as needed.

Our Code of Conduct states that every employee is entitled to work in a respectful environment that is free of harassment and discrimination and we require our full-time, year-round employees, as well as certain seasonal employees, to complete annual training as part of our Code of Conduct. This annual requirement includes training on a variety of topics, such as ethical leadership, financial integrity, information security/data privacy, and anti-harassment. In Fiscal 2025, the training was completed by 93% of this employee base.

------

*<u>Mountain Safety</u>*

The nature of our on-mountain operations comes with inherent safety risks, and the health and safety of our employees is a top priority. It is the shared responsibility of every employee to actively participate in creating a safe and secure environment and to minimize injuries. To that end, we routinely:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide resources and education to promote safe operating environments at our resorts, including compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards, as well as to improve overall workplace safety and health. This includes regular and ongoing safety training and assessments as well as safety audits, and all employees are required to take annual slope safety training;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• proactively assess risks to identify and mitigate unsafe conditions and integrate learnings from incidents to prevent future occurrences across our network of resorts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hire and train a dedicated health and safety team that oversees resort operations as well as highly trained ski patrol professionals at each resort.

*<u>Employee Housing</u>*

While identifying and securing affordable housing options is challenging in some of the communities in which we operate, providing frontline employees affordable housing in our resort communities is a critical aspect of the employee value proposition. For the 2025/2026 North American ski season, we expect to serve approximately 5,900 frontline team members with affordable housing across our Resorts, as well as an additional 1,300 team members at GTLC for the 2026 summer season.

*<u>Resource Efficiency Transformation</u>*

Over the past decade, Vail Resorts has undergone rapid expansion, growing from 10 to 42 owned and operated mountain resorts. This growth has more than doubled the size of our workforce and enabled the company to capture initial acquisition synergies across corporate support functions and technology integration. With a unified enterprise-wide technology ecosystem and robust data and analytics capabilities, we believe we are well positioned to drive transformation at scale.

To support this evolution, in September 2024 launched a two-year Resource Efficiency Transformation Plan designed to enhance organizational effectiveness and deliver operating leverage as we expand globally (the "resource efficiency transformation plan"). By the end of fiscal year 2026, the resource efficiency transformation plan is expected to generate $100 million in annualized cost efficiencies.

This transformation is a natural progression for our company. It builds on our success and positions us for sustainable growth while remaining anchored in our Mission: to create an *Experience of a Lifetime* for both employees and guests.

The plan is structured around three strategic pillars:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Scaled Operations:** With 42 resorts and extensive hospitality, retail, and rental operations, we are now positioned to capture operational synergies. By launching new tools and support systems, we are streamlining operations, reducing administrative burden on frontline managers, and sharpening our focus on the guest experience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Global Shared Services:** We consolidated internal business services and call centers into global shared services. This outsourced model supports our North American operations and provides a scalable foundation for future global expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Expanded Workforce Management:** Following the successful implementation of workforce management technology across North American resorts, we are expanding its use. This includes adding new lines of business and functionality to optimize labor allocation based on guest demand. The system also enhances visibility and access for frontline employees, enabling cross-training and shift flexibility across the resort network.

The resource efficiency transformation plan also includes position eliminations representing less than 2% of our total workforce over the course of fiscal years 2025 and 2026. These eliminations represent 14% of corporate roles and less than 1% of operational roles (with only a 0.2% impact on frontline positions). We recognize the significance of these changes and remain deeply grateful for the contributions of our team members. Impacted employees are supported by leaders across the company and have the opportunity to apply for open roles.

Beyond this two-year initiative, resource efficiency will remain a core focus as we continue to grow.

**Intellectual Property**

The development of intellectual property is part of our overall business strategy, and we regard our intellectual property as an important element of our success. Accordingly, we protect our intellectual property rights and seek to protect against its unauthorized use through international, national and state laws and common law rights. We file applications for and obtain trademark registrations and have filed for patents to protect inventions and will continue to do so where appropriate. We also

------

seek to maintain our trade secrets and confidential information by nondisclosure policies and through the use of appropriate confidentiality agreements and contractual provisions.

In the highly competitive industry in which we operate, trademarks, service marks, trade names and logos are very important in the sales and marketing of our pass products, destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas, lodging properties and services. We seek to register and protect our trademarks, service marks, trade names and logos and have obtained a significant number of registrations for those trademarks. We believe our brands have become synonymous in the travel and leisure industry with a reputation for excellence in service and authentic hospitality. Among other national and international trademark registrations, the Company owns U.S. federal registrations for *Epic*<sup>®</sup>*, Epic Pass*<sup>®</sup>*, Vail Resorts*<sup>®</sup>*, Vail*<sup>®</sup>*, Beaver Creek*<sup>®</sup>*, Breckenridge*<sup>®</sup>*, Keystone*<sup>®</sup>, *Crested Butte & Design*<sup>®</sup>*, Kirkwood & Design*<sup>®</sup> and *Heavenly*<sup>®</sup>. The Company also owns Canadian and U.S. trademark registrations for the *Whistler Blackcomb & Design*<sup>®</sup> name and logo, and Swiss trademark registrations for the *CMA Group*<sup>®</sup> and *Giorgio Rocca*<sup>®</sup> name and logos.

**<u>Environmental Compliance and other Laws and Regulations</u>**

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the environment, including laws and regulations governing water and sewer discharges, water use, air emissions, soil and groundwater contamination, the maintenance of underground and aboveground storage tanks and the disposal of waste and hazardous materials. Examples of such laws and regulations in the U.S. include the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Environmental Quality Act and the Vermont Land Use and Development Act. Internationally, we are subject to the Forest and Range Practices Act and Watershed Sustainability Act in British Columbia as well as the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW, Australia) and the Environment Protection Act 1970 and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Victoria, Australia). We are also required to comply with all Swiss regulations, including federal acts and ordinances, as well as Cantonal authorities.

Various federal, state, local and provincial regulations also govern our resort operations, including liquor licensing and food safety regulations applicable to our food and beverage operations and safety standards relating to our lift operations and heli-ski operations at Whistler Blackcomb. In addition, each resort is subject to and must comply with state, county, regional and local government land use regulations and restrictions, including, for example, employee housing ordinances, zoning and density restrictions, noise ordinances and wildlife, water and air quality regulations. We believe that we are in compliance, in all material respects, with environmental and other laws and regulations. Compliance with such provisions has not materially impacted our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position, and we do not anticipate that it will have a material impact in the future.

**<u>Contracts with Governmental Authorities for Resort Operations</u>**

*U.S. Forest Service Resorts*

The operations of Breckenridge, Vail Mountain, Keystone, Crested Butte, Stevens Pass, Heavenly, Kirkwood, Mount Snow, Attitash and portions of Beaver Creek and Wildcat are conducted on land under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service (collectively, the "Forest Service Resorts"). The 1986 Ski Area Permit Act (the "1986 Act") allows the Forest Service to grant Term Special Use Permits (each, a "SUP") for the operation of ski areas and construction of related facilities on National Forest lands. In November 2011, the 1986 Act was amended by the Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act (the "Enhancement Act") to clarify the Forest Service's authority to approve facilities primarily for year-round recreation. Under the 1986 Act and the Enhancement Act, the Forest Service has the authority to review and approve the location, design and construction of improvements in the permit area and many operational matters.

Each individual national forest is required by the National Forest Management Act to develop and maintain a Land and Resource Management Plan (a "Forest Plan"), which establishes standards and guidelines for the Forest Service to follow and consider in reviewing and approving our proposed actions.

------

Each of the Forest Service Resorts operates under a SUP, and the acreage and expiration date information for each SUP is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Forest Service Resort** | **Acres** | **Expiration Date** |
| Breckenridge | 5702 | December 31, 2029 |
| Vail Mountain | 12353 | December 1, 2031 |
| Keystone | 8376 | December 31, 2032 |
| Beaver Creek | 3801 | November 8, 2039 |
| Heavenly | 7050 | May 1, 2042 |
| Mount Snow | 894 | April 4, 2047 |
| Attitash | 279 | April 4, 2047 |
| Wildcat | 953 | November 18, 2050 |
| Kirkwood | 2330 | March 1, 2052 |
| Stevens Pass | 2443 | August 31, 2058 |
| Crested Butte | 4350 | September 27, 2058 |

---

We anticipate requesting a new SUP for each Forest Service Resort prior to its expiration date as provided by Forest Service regulations and the terms of each existing SUP. We are not aware of the Forest Service refusing to issue a new SUP to replace an expiring SUP for a ski resort in operation at the time of expiration. The Forest Service can also terminate a SUP if it determines that termination is required in the public interest. However, to our knowledge, no SUP has ever been terminated by the Forest Service over the opposition of the permit holder.

Each SUP contains a number of requirements, including indemnifying the Forest Service from third-party claims arising out of our operation under the SUP and compliance with applicable laws, such as those relating to water quality and endangered or threatened species. For use of the land authorized by the SUPs, we pay a fee to the Forest Service ranging from 1.5% to 4.0% of adjusted gross revenue for activities authorized by the SUPs. Included in the calculation are sales from, among other things, lift tickets, pass products, ski school lessons, food and beverage, certain summer activities, equipment rentals and retail merchandise.

The SUPs may be revised or amended to accommodate changes initiated by us or by the Forest Service to change the permit area or permitted uses. The Forest Service may amend a SUP if it determines that such amendment is in the public interest. While the Forest Service is required to seek the permit holder's consent to any amendment, an amendment can be finalized over a permit holder's objection. Permit amendments must be consistent with the Forest Plan and are subject to the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"), both of which are discussed below.

The 1986 Act requires a Master Development Plan ("MDP") for each ski area that is granted a SUP, and all improvements that we propose to make on National Forest System lands under any of our SUPs must be included in a MDP, which describes the existing and proposed facilities, developments and area of activity within the permit area. The MDPs are reviewed by the Forest Service for compliance with the Forest Plan and other applicable laws and, if found to be compliant, are accepted by the Forest Service. Notwithstanding acceptance by the Forest Service of the conceptual MDPs, individual projects still require separate applications and compliance with NEPA and other applicable laws before the Forest Service will approve such projects. We update or amend our MDPs for our Forest Service Resorts from time to time.

*Whistler Blackcomb*

Whistler Blackcomb is comprised of two mountains: Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain are located on Crown Land within the traditional territory of the Squamish and Lil'wat Nations. The relationship between Whistler Blackcomb and Her Majesty, the Queen in Right of British Columbia (the "Province") is largely governed by Master Development Agreements (the "MDAs") between the Province and Whistler Mountain Resort Limited Partnership ("Whistler LP") with respect to Whistler Mountain, and between the Province and Blackcomb Skiing Enterprises Limited Partnership ("Blackcomb LP") with respect to Blackcomb Mountain. Together, Whistler LP and Blackcomb LP are referred to as the "Partnerships."

The MDAs, which were entered into in February 2017, have a term of 60 years (expiring on February 23, 2077) and are replaceable for an additional 60 years by option exercisable by the Partnerships after the first 30 years of the initial term. In

------

accordance with the MDAs, the Partnerships are obligated to pay annual fees to the Province at a percentage of gross revenues related to the operation of certain activities at Whistler Blackcomb.

The MDAs require that each of the mountains be developed, operated and maintained in accordance with its respective master plan, which contains requirements as to matters such as trail design and development, passenger lift development and environmental concerns. The MDAs grant a general license to use the Whistler Mountain lands and the Blackcomb Mountain lands for the operation and development of Whistler Blackcomb. The MDAs also provide for the granting of specific tenures of land owned by the Province to the Whistler LP or the Blackcomb LP, as applicable, by way of rights-of-way, leases or licenses. Each Partnership is permitted to develop new improvements to Whistler Mountain or Blackcomb Mountain, as the case may be, within standard municipal type development control conditions. We are obligated to indemnify the Province from third-party claims arising out of our operations under the MDAs.

*Northeast Resorts*

Stowe and Okemo operate partially on land that we own and partially on land we lease from the State of Vermont. With respect to Stowe, the land we own is on the Spruce Peak side of the resort while the land we lease from the State of Vermont is located on Mt. Mansfield in the Mt. Mansfield State Forest. The initial ten-year term of the lease commenced in June 1967, and the lease provides for eight separate ten-year extension options. The current term of the lease extends through June 2027, and there are three remaining ten-year extension options. With respect to Okemo, we own the Jackson Gore base area land and lease most of the skiable terrain from the State of Vermont. The initial ten-year term of the lease commenced in December 1963, and the lease provides for eight separate ten-year extension options. The current term of the lease extends through December 2033, and there are two remaining ten-year extension options. Under both leases, the land can be used for the development and operation of a ski area including ski trails, ski lifts, warming shelters, restaurants and maintenance facilities. For use of the land under the leases, we pay a fee to the State of Vermont based on revenue for activities authorized by the lease, such as lift tickets, pass products, food and beverage, summer activities and retail merchandise. We are obligated to indemnify the State of Vermont from third-party claims arising out of our operations under the lease.

Mount Sunapee lies within the Mount Sunapee State Park and operates on land that we lease from the State of New Hampshire. The initial twenty-year term of the lease commenced in July 1998, and the lease provides for three separate ten-year extension options. The current term of the lease extends through June 2028, and there are two remaining ten-year extension options. The land can be managed and operated as a ski area and summer recreational facility, including all of its support activities, to provide year-round outdoor recreation. For use of the land under the lease, we pay a fee to the State of New Hampshire that includes both a base fee and a fee based on revenue from activities authorized by the lease, such as lift tickets, pass products, food and beverage, summer activities and retail merchandise. We are obligated to indemnify the State of New Hampshire from third-party claims arising out of our operations under the lease.

*Laurel Mountain*

Laurel Mountain Ski Area operates within Laurel Mountain State Park ("State Park") under a Concession Lease Agreement (the "Lease Agreement") with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources ("Department"). The Lease Agreement, first entered into on October 15, 2018, allows for ski operations on approximately 387 acres of the State Park, including the existing ski area, buildings and equipment owned by the Department. The Lease Agreement is automatically renewed for a total of 35 one-year terms through October 31, 2051. We pay a fixed annual rent, as well and an additional amount based on the number of skier visits, with a cap subject to semi-annual consumer price index adjustments.

*Australian Resorts*

Perisher is located in the Kosciuszko National Park, the largest national park in New South Wales, Australia. The resort includes four villages (Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes, Guthega and Blue Cow) and their associated ski fields, as well as the site of the Skitube Alpine Railway at Bullock's Flat, which is accredited in accordance with the Rail Safety National Law (NSW) No. 82a. The Office of Environment and Heritage ("OEH"), an agency of the New South Wales government, which is part of the Department of Planning and Environment, is responsible for the protection and conservation of the Kosciuszko National Park. The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW) ("NPW Act") establishes the National Parks and Wildlife Service and is responsible for the control and management of the Kosciusko National Park.

The NPW Act requires the Kosciuszko National Park to be managed in accordance with the principles specified in that legislation, including the provision for sustainable visitor or tourist use and enjoyment that is compatible with the conservation of the national park's natural and cultural values. The legislation also authorizes the Minister for the Environment and the Minister for Heritage (the "Minister") to grant leases and licenses of land within the Kosciuszko National Park for various

------

purposes, including for purposes related to sustainable visitor or tourist use and enjoyment. Under this power, the Minister has granted to Perisher a lease and a license of specified land within the Kosciusko National Park until June 30, 2048, with an option to renew for an additional period of 20 years. The Minister has also granted Perisher a lease of the parking lot at Perisher Valley that expires on December 31, 2025. Subject to certain conditions being met, the lease for the Perisher Valley parking lot is expected to be extended until June 30, 2048, with an option to renew for a further 20 years. The lease and license provide for the payment of a minimum annual base rent with periodic increases in base rent over the term, turnover rent payments based on a percentage of certain gross revenue, remittance of park user fees and certain other charges, also subject to periodic increases over the term.

Falls Creek and Hotham are located in the Alpine National Park in Victoria, Australia. Falls Creek and Hotham both operate on Crown land permanently reserved under the *Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978* (Vic), with the exception of three small parcels of freehold land within the Hotham resort area. Each resort is subject to the *Alpine Resorts (Management) Act 1997* (Vic) (the "ARM Act"), which is in place to manage the development, promotion, management and use of the resorts on a sustainable basis and in a manner that is compatible with the alpine environment. The ARM Act established the Alpine Resorts Commission to plan for the direction and sustainable growth of Victoria's five alpine resorts (including Falls Creek and Hotham). This includes review and coordination of the implementation of an Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan to which Falls Creek and Hotham are subject.

The ARM Act also established each of the Falls Creek Resort Management Board and Hotham Resort Management Board (the "RMBs"), each of which is appointed by, and responsible to, the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change (the "Minister"). The RMBs are responsible for the management and collection of fees for entrance into the Alpine National Park and from Falls Creek and Hotham ski resorts. The ARM Act authorizes the RMBs to grant leases subject to Ministerial approval, and under this power, the entities operating the Hotham and Falls Creek resorts have each been leased land within the Alpine National Park under various long-term leases with differing expiration dates. The main lease for the ski field at Falls Creek expires December 31, 2040, while the main lease for the ski field at Hotham expires December 31, 2057. The key ski field leases provide for the payment of rent with both a fixed and variable component, a community service charge payable to the ARCC and a ski patrol contribution payable to RMBs. At Hotham, we also lease land known as 'Dinner Plain' within the Alpine National Park which expires on June 30, 2031, with an option to extend for a further 10 years.

The *Alpine Resorts (Management) Regulations 2009* (Vic) gives the RMBs the power to declare the snow season, temporarily close the resort to entry if there is a significant danger to public safety, determine parts of a resort to which entry is prohibited, set aside areas of the resort for public use, parking, driving of vehicles, or landing of aircraft, and determine the areas for cross country ski trails, skiing, snowboarding and other snow play activities.

*Swiss Resorts*

*Andermatt-Sedrun -* acquired by the Company on August 3, 2022, Andermatt-Sedrun is located in the Usern Valley of the Swiss Alps and comprises five mountains (Gemsstock, Nätschen, Sedrun/Oberalp, Realp and Valtgeva). Ski operations are conducted on land owned by Andermatt Swiss Alps AG ("ASA") as freehold or leasehold properties, land owned by Usern Corporation, land owned by the municipality of Tujetsch and land owned by private property owners.

ASA holds three leasehold properties, which are owned by either Usern Corporation, a corporation under public law consisting of all the citizens of the Usern Valley, or the Swiss Confederation, namely the Federal Department of Defense, Civil Protection, and Sport ("DDPS"). For the land owned by Usern Corporation, ASA and Usern Corporation have entered into a main framework concession agreement, dated August 13, 2013, which sets forth the terms and conditions for the use of the land in connection with ski infrastructure facilities in the Gemsstock and Nätschen-Gütsch-Oberalp areas ("Ursern Framework Concession"). The Ursern Framework Concession was entered into for a fixed term until December 31, 2032. An application for renewal of the Ursern Framework Concession must be submitted at least 12 months prior to the expiration of the concession agreement, and we anticipate applying for the renewal. For the land owned by the Swiss Confederation, ASA has entered into leasehold agreements with the DDPS, which have a term of 50 years expiring on April 10, 2067 and March 13, 2068.

Another part of the land on which the Andermatt-Sedrun resort operations are conducted is owned by the municipality of Tujetsch. By means of a personal easement agreement dated October 12, 2012, ASA was granted various building rights and rights of way in order to build, operate and maintain the T-Bars and chairlifts on Tujetsch's property. The personal easement agreement was entered into for a fixed term until October 12, 2032, and we anticipate applying for renewal.

With respect to Swiss operations, companies who provide for regular and commercial passenger transportation by rail, road and water as well as by cable cars and elevators must obtain a passenger transport concession from the Federal Office of Transport ("FOT"). Under the Ursern Framework Concession, ASA was granted the required concessions for all ski infrastructure

------

facilities and the usage of the ski slopes on the property of the Ursern Corporation. In the course of expanding the ski infrastructure facilities Urserntal-Oberalp, the FOT granted ASA passenger transport concessions for a total of 12 cableway installations by means of a plan approval dated May 30, 2014. Each passenger transport concession has a separate expiration date between 2026 and 2042, and we will then be able to apply for an extension or new concession. Additionally, the plan approval included concessions and approvals for ancillary installations such as ski slopes, snowmaking systems, rolling carpets, railway station passenger subway and clearings.

*Crans-Montana -* acquired by the Company on May 2, 2024, Crans-Montana is located in the Valais canton of Switzerland. The acquired operations include: an approximate 84% ownership stake in Remontées Mécaniques Crans Montana Aminona SA ("CMA"), which controls and operates all the resort's lifts and supporting mountain operations, including four retail and rental locations; full ownership of SportLife AG, which operates one of the ski schools located at the resort; and full ownership of 11 restaurants located on and around the mountain (operated by Crans-Montana Food and Beverage SA, or "CMFB").

The municipalities of Crans-Montana and Lens hold a stake in CMA of approximately 9.47% and 3.33%, respectively, which, together with our ownership share, collectively accounts for a total of approximately 96.22% ownership. For the purpose of governing the exercise of selected rights and obligations as shareholders in CMA, we entered into a shareholders' agreement with the municipalities of Crans-Montana and Lens. The initial fixed term of the agreement expires on December 31, 2035, subject to future automated ten-year renewal periods, unless terminated by us or the municipalities acting jointly. Among other things, the shareholders' agreement provides for terms and conditions in relation to the election and governance of the board of directors, company policies, dividends, financial aspects and related matters.

The operations of the resort are conducted on land owned by CMA or CMFB as freehold or leasehold properties, land owned by regional civic communities, land owned by the municipalities of Crans-Montana or Lens and land owned by private property owners. Portions of the Crans-Montana resort operations are conducted on land owned by third parties, including local municipalities, via numerous registered easements, building rights, or other agreements. Certain of these building rights are also subject to federal concessions.

As noted above, companies who provide for regular and commercial passenger transportation by rail, road and water as well as by cable cars and elevators must obtain a passenger transport concession from the FOT. Crans-Montana was granted the required concessions for all ski infrastructure facilities and the usage of the ski slopes. Each passenger transport concession is granted for a maximum of 40 years and may then be extended, with the existing concessions having expiration dates between 2032 and 2047.

**<u>Concession Agreements</u>**

*National Park Concessioner Properties*

GTLC operates three lodging properties, food and beverage services, retail, camping and other services within the Grand Teton National Park under a concession agreement with the NPS. Our concession agreement with the NPS for GTLC, which had an initial term expiration date of December 31, 2021, was amended in June 2021 to extend the term to December 31, 2023. Additionally, in November 2023 and 2024, we agreed to an amendment to the agreement extending the term until December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The NPS has released a contract solicitation for the services offered by GTLC, and we intend to timely submit a bid on behalf of the Company. We currently expect that our existing agreement will be extended for an additional one year through December 31, 2026 due to the time needed for solicitation, preparation, review and award of a new contract. We expect the NPS to confirm this extension in the fall of 2025. We pay a fee to the NPS of a percentage of the majority of our sales occurring in Grand Teton National Park.

Flagg Ranch Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, provides lodging, food and beverage services, retail, service station, recreation and other services on the Parkway located between Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Our concession contract with the NPS for the Parkway expires on October 31, 2028, and we pay a fee to the NPS of a percentage of the majority of our sales occurring in the Parkway.

Prior to expiration of these concession contracts, we will have the opportunity to bid against other prospective concessioners for award of a new contract. The NPS may suspend operations under the concession contract at any time if the NPS determines it is necessary to protect visitors or resources within the Grand Teton National Park or during a Federal Government shutdown. The NPS may also terminate the concession contract for breach, following notice and a 15 day cure period or if it believes termination is necessary to protect visitors or resources within the Grand Teton National Park.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.**

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The risks described below should carefully be considered together with the other information contained in this report.

**Risks Related to Our Business**

**We are subject to the risk of prolonged weakness in general economic conditions including adverse effects on the overall travel and leisure related industries.** 

Skiing, travel and tourism are discretionary recreational activities that can entail a relatively high cost of participation and may be adversely affected by economic slowdown or recession. Economic conditions in North America, Europe and parts of the rest of the world, including inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, supply chain disruption, tariff and trade disputes, fluctuating commodity pricing, geopolitical conflicts and uncertainties, increased labor costs and shortages, increased fuel prices, high unemployment, erosion of consumer confidence, health pandemics, sovereign debt issues and financial instability in the global markets, among other factors, could have negative effects on the travel and leisure industry and on our results of operations. As a result of these and other economic uncertainties, we have experienced and may continue to experience changes in booking trends including guest reservations made much closer to the actual date of stay, a decrease in the length of stay, a decrease in consumer spending and/or a decrease in group bookings. We cannot predict what further impact these uncertainties may continue to have on overall travel and leisure or more specifically, on our guest visitation, guest spending or other related trends and the ultimate impact it will have on our results of operations. Additionally, the actual or perceived fear of weakness in the economy could also lead to decreased spending by our guests. This could be further exacerbated by the fact that we charge some of the highest prices for single day lift tickets and ancillary services in the ski industry; however, we offer pass products, including the Epic Day Pass, which are available at a discount to the single day lift ticket prices. In the event of a decrease in visitation and overall guest spending we may decide we need to offer a higher amount of discounts and incentives than we have historically, which would adversely impact our operating results. Our Resorts also serve as a destination for international guests. To the extent there are material changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar or travel restrictions in place due to inflation, geopolitical conflicts or uncertainties, health pandemics or other factors, it could impact the volume of international visitation, which could have a significant impact on our operating results.

**We may be adversely impacted by the effects of high or prolonged inflation and elevated interest rates.** 

Inflation increases the cost of goods we purchase and services we buy, the cost of capital projects and wages and benefits for our workforce. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of inflation through pricing actions or cost reduction measures, if we are not able to offset inflationary costs, our results of operations will be negatively impacted and possibly in a material manner. As a result, the impact of high and prolonged inflation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Inflationary pressures also increase the cost of living and cost of travel, which decreases consumers' disposable income and could impact our guests' discretionary spending habits or willingness to visit our Resorts, which could reduce customer demand for the products and services that we offer and negatively impact our financial condition or our results of operations. In addition, the existence of inflation in certain economies has resulted in, and may continue to result in, elevated interest rates. For example, while the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate three times in 2024 by a total of 100 basis points, the U.S. Federal Reserve held rates steady following their January 2025 meeting. As a result, it remains to be seen whether interest rates will stabilize, increase or decrease, either globally or in the United States specifically. Our business could be adversely impacted by increases in the cost of borrowing from elevated interest rates. Elevated interest rates increase the borrowing costs on new debt, including debt we may refinance, as well as any existing variable rate indebtedness, and could affect the fair value of our investments.

------

**We are vulnerable to unfavorable weather conditions and the impact of natural disasters.** 

Our ability to attract guests to our Resorts is partly influenced by weather conditions and by the amount and timing of snowfall during the ski season. Unfavorable weather conditions can adversely affect skier visits and our revenue and profits. Unseasonably warm weather may result in inadequate natural snowfall and reduce skiable terrain, which increases the cost of snowmaking and could render snowmaking, wholly or partially, ineffective in maintaining quality skiing conditions, including in areas which are not accessible by snowmaking equipment. On the other hand, excessive natural snowfall may significantly increase the costs incurred to groom trails and may make it difficult for guests to access our Resorts.

Additionally, there is scientific research that emissions of greenhouse gases continue to alter the composition of the global atmosphere in ways that are affecting and are expected to continue affecting the global climate. The effect of climate change, including any impact of global warming, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations as a result of decreased snowfall, increased weather variability and/or warmer overall temperatures, which could adversely affect skier visits and our revenue and profits. Revenues and profits generated from mountain summer activities/sightseeing and golf peak season operations are not nearly sufficient to off-set off-season losses from our other mountain and lodging operations. This impact could be exacerbated by climate change.

There can be no assurance that our Resorts will receive seasonal snowfalls near their historical averages. An example of weather variability was observed throughout the 2023/2024 North American ski season, where significant weather-related challenges disrupted operating days and impacted demand, including lower snowfall for the full winter season compared to the prior year period across our western North American resorts and limited natural snow and variable temperatures at our Eastern U.S. resorts (comprising the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast). Past ski season snowfall levels or consistency of snow conditions can impact sales of pass products or other advanced bookings. Additionally, the early season snow conditions and skier perceptions of early season snow conditions can influence the momentum and success of the overall ski season. Unfavorable weather conditions can adversely affect our Resorts and lodging properties as guests tend to delay or postpone vacations if conditions differ from those that are typical at such Resorts for a given season. Although we have created geographic diversification to help mitigate the impact of weather variability, there is no way for us to predict future weather patterns or the impact that weather patterns may have on our results of operations or visitation.

A severe natural disaster, such as a forest fire, may interrupt our operations, damage our properties, reduce the number of guests who visit our Resorts in affected areas and negatively impact our revenue and profitability. Damage to our properties could take a long time to repair and there is no guarantee that we would have adequate insurance to cover the costs of repair and recoup lost profits. Furthermore, such a disaster may interrupt or impede access to our affected properties or require evacuations and may cause visits to our affected properties to decrease for an indefinite period. The ability to attract visitors to our Resorts is also influenced by the aesthetics and natural beauty of the outdoor environment where our Resorts are located. A severe forest fire or other severe impacts from naturally occurring events could negatively impact the natural beauty of our Resorts and have a long-term negative impact on our overall guest visitation as it could take several years for the environment to recover.

**Our Epic Coverage program may require us to provide significant refunds to our pass product holders, which would result in reduced revenue and could also expose us to the risk of customer complaints and negative perception about our pass products.**

Epic Coverage is included with the purchase of all pass products for no additional charge. Epic Coverage offers refunds to pass product holders if certain qualifying personal or Resort closure events occur before or during the ski season, subject to express terms and conditions. Accordingly, to the extent that a significant volume of qualifying events occur during the ski season, we could be required to provide a significant amount of refunds to our pass product holders, subject to express terms and conditions, which could have a material negative impact on our financial performance and condition.

The estimated amount of refunds reduce the amount of pass product revenue recognized by the Company. To estimate the amount of refunds under Epic Coverage, the Company considers historical claims data for personal events and the Company's operating plans for its Resorts. The Company believes the estimates of refunds are reasonable; however, the program is subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, and therefore actual results could vary materially from such estimates, and the Company could be required to refund significantly higher amounts than estimated.

Epic Coverage has also resulted in customer complaints and negative perception by customers who believe they are entitled to a refund for events that do not qualify under the express terms and conditions of the program. Any complaints posted by customers on social media platforms, even if inaccurate, may harm our reputation, and may divert management's time and attention away from other business matters.

------

**Leisure travel is particularly susceptible to various factors outside of our control, including terrorism, the uncertainty of military and geopolitical conflicts, the cost and availability of travel options and changing consumer preferences or willingness to travel.** 

Our business is sensitive to the willingness of our guests to travel. Adverse economic conditions, pandemics, acts of terrorism, political events and developments in military and geopolitical conflicts in areas of the world from which we draw our guests could depress the public's propensity to travel and cause severe disruptions in both domestic and international air travel and consumer discretionary spending, which could reduce the number of visitors to our Resorts and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Many of our guests travel by air and the impact of higher prices for commercial airline services, availability of air services and willingness of guests to travel by air could cause a decrease in visitation by Destination guests to our Resorts. Visitation may also decrease if widespread airline or airport disruptions or flight cancellations occur. A significant portion of our guests also travel by vehicle and higher gasoline prices or willingness of guests to travel generally due to safety or traffic concerns could cause a decrease in visitation by guests who would typically drive to our Resorts. Higher cost of travel may also affect the amount that guests are willing to spend at our Resorts and could negatively impact our revenue particularly for lodging, ski school, dining and retail/rental. In addition, economic volatility and uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, increased fuel prices and increases to cost of travel (as a result of geopolitical factors or otherwise) may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Additionally, our success depends on our ability to attract visitors to our Resorts. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences, particularly those affecting the popularity of skiing and snowboarding, and other social and demographic trends could adversely affect the number of skier visits during a ski season. A significant decline in skier visits compared to historical levels would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

**Pandemics and public health emergencies could materially disrupt our business and negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.**

Pandemics and public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in ways that are uncertain, unpredictable and outside of our control. The extent of the impact of such an event depends on the severity and duration of the public health emergency or pandemic, as well as the nature and duration of federal, state and local laws, orders, rules, emergency temporary standards, regulations and mandates, together with protocols and contractual requirements implemented by our customers, that may be enacted or newly enforced in response. Additionally, our ability to provide our services during such an event may be dependent on the governmental or societal responses to these circumstances in the markets in which we operate. A pandemic or public health emergency is likely to heighten and exacerbate the risks described herein. We experienced many of these risks in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Any resurgence of infection rates or the spread of new variants or viruses could adversely affect our revenue, results of operations and cash flows.

**Cyberattacks or other interruptions to or disruption of our information technology systems and services could disrupt our business.** 

Our business relies on the continuous operation of information technology systems and services. Despite our efforts, our information networks and systems are vulnerable to service interruptions or to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees or vendors, natural disasters, system or equipment malfunctions, power outages, computer viruses or intentional attacks by malicious third parties, which could persist undetected for an extended period of time. Any interruption to these systems and services could adversely impact our business, including lost revenue, customer claims, damage to reputation, litigation, and/or denial or interruption to our processing of transactions and/or the services we provide to customers. We also provide information to third party service providers and rely on third party service providers for the provision of information technology services. There is a risk that the information held by third parties could be disclosed, otherwise compromised, or disrupted. We carry insurance for many of these adverse events, including cyber security insurance, but our insurance coverage may not always be sufficient to meet all of our liabilities or our losses.

There has been a rise in the number of sophisticated cyberattacks on network and information systems, including ransomware attacks that prevent the target from accessing its own data and/or systems until a ransom is paid. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies have also intensified cybersecurity risks. As a result, the risks associated with such an event continue to increase. We have experienced cybersecurity threats and incidents, none of which have been material. We have taken, and continue to take, steps to address these concerns by implementing various cybersecurity risk management strategies, initiatives, and internal controls, with the goal of enhancing cybersecurity. However, there can be no assurance that our internal controls or cybersecurity risk management practices will be effective, and that a system interruption, security breach or unauthorized access will not occur. Cyber threats and attacks are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated, which increases the difficulty and cost of detecting and defending against them. In addition,

------

despite our efforts to proactively institute cybersecurity defense mechanisms, such as regular cybersecurity tabletop exercises, control gap analyses, threat modeling, impact analyses, internal and external cybersecurity audits, vulnerability scans, penetration tests, third party analyses, and other cybersecurity threat defense strategies, such strategies may ultimately prove ineffective, as they are, by their nature, largely reactive, and cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving as threat actors become more sophisticated. For additional information regarding our cybersecurity processes, policies and programs, refer to Item 1C. "Cybersecurity." Cyber threats and attacks can have cascading impacts across networks, systems and operations. Any such interruption, breach or unauthorized access to our network or systems, or the networks or systems of our vendors, could adversely affect our business operations and result in the loss of critical or sensitive confidential information or intellectual property, as well as impact our ability to meet regulatory or compliance obligations, and could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us. These events also could result in large expenditures to repair or replace the damaged properties, products, services, networks or information systems to protect them from similar events in the future.

**Failure to maintain the integrity and security of our internal, employee or guest data could result in damages to our reputation and subject us to costs, fines or lawsuits.** 

Our business relies on the use of large volumes of data. We collect and retain guest data, including sensitive personal information, for various business purposes, such as processing transactions, marketing and other promotional purposes. While we handle payment information to complete transactions, we do not store credit card numbers, ensuring sensitive data remains secure through our payment processors. We also maintain personal information about our employees. We could make faulty decisions if data is inaccurate or incomplete. Maintaining the integrity and security of data can be costly and is critical to our business, and our guests and employees have a high expectation that we will adequately protect their personal information. A significant theft, loss, loss of access to, or fraudulent use of customer, employee, or company data held by us or our service providers could adversely impact our reputation, and could result in significant remedial and other expenses, fines, and/or litigation.

**Our business is highly seasonal.** 

Our mountain and lodging operations are highly seasonal in nature. Peak operating season for our North American and European Resorts is from mid-December to mid-April, and accordingly, revenue and profits from our mountain and most of our lodging operations are substantially lower and historically result in losses from late spring to late fall. Conversely, peak operating seasons for our Australian Resorts, GTLC and Flagg Ranch, mountain summer activities (including our Epic Discovery program), sightseeing and our golf courses generally occur from June to the end of September. Revenue and profits generated by our Australian Resorts, GTLC and Flagg Ranch, mountain summer activities/sightseeing and golf peak season operations are not nearly sufficient to fully offset our off-season losses from our other mountain and lodging operations. For Fiscal 2025, approximately 82% of total combined Mountain and Lodging segment net revenue (excluding Lodging segment revenue associated with reimbursement of payroll costs) was earned during our second and third fiscal quarters. This seasonality is partially mitigated by the sale of pass products (which for Fiscal 2025 accounted for approximately 65% of the total lift revenue) predominately occurring during the period prior to the start of the ski season as the cash from those sales is collected in advance and revenue is primarily recognized in the second and third fiscal quarters. In addition, the timing of major holidays and school breaks can impact vacation patterns and therefore visitation at our destination mountain Resorts and regional ski areas. If we were to experience an adverse event or realize a significant deterioration in our operating results during our peak periods (our fiscal second and third quarters) we would be unable to fully recover any significant declines in such fiscal year due to the seasonality of our business. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent quarter or for a full fiscal year (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

**We face significant competition.** 

The ski resort and lodging industries are highly competitive. There are approximately 780 ski areas in North America, including approximately 490 in the U.S. that serve local and destination guests, and these ski areas can be more or less impacted by weather conditions based on their location and snowmaking capabilities. The factors that we believe are important to customers include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• proximity to population centers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability and cost of transportation to ski areas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability and quality of lodging options and other amenities in resort areas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ease of travel to ski areas (including direct flights by major airlines);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pricing of lift tickets and/or pass products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the magnitude, quality and price of related ancillary services (ski school, dining and retail/rental);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality of snowmaking;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• type and quality of skiing and snowboarding offered;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• duration of the ski season;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• weather conditions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reputation.

There are many competing options for our guests, including other major resorts in Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, the Pacific Northwest, Northeast and Southwest United States, and British Columbia, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and other major destination ski areas worldwide. Our guests can choose from any of these alternatives, as well as non-skiing vacation options and destinations around the world. In addition, other forms of leisure such as sporting events and participation in other competing indoor and outdoor recreational activities are available to potential guests.

Our retail/rental business competes with numerous other national, regional, local and online retail and rental businesses. RockResorts hotels, our other hotels and our property management business compete with numerous other hotel and property management companies. Each of these competing businesses may have greater financial resources than we do and they may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to promotion of their offerings than us. Additionally these competing businesses may offer locations, pricing or other factors that appeal to potential customers.

**The high fixed cost structure of mountain resort operations can result in significantly lower margins if revenues decline.** 

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 and other resort related fees, credit card fees, retail/rental cost of sales, labor, and resort, dining and ski school operations. Any material declines in the economy, elevated geopolitical uncertainties and/or significant changes in historical snowfall patterns, as well as other risk factors discussed herein, could adversely affect revenue. As such, our margins, profits and cash flows may be materially reduced due to declines in revenue given our relatively high fixed cost structure. In addition, although inflation has shown recent signs of moderation in the U.S., it has remained persistent in the U.S. and globally in recent years due in part to global supply chain issues, the Ukraine-Russia war, escalating conflicts in the Middle East, elevated energy prices and strong consumer demand, among other factors. Increases in expenses as a result of this inflationary environment and other economic factors may adversely impact wages and other labor costs, energy, healthcare, insurance, transportation and fuel, cost of goods, property taxes, minimum lease payments and other expenses and operating costs included in our fixed cost structure, which may also reduce our margin, profits and cash flows.

**We may not be able to fund resort capital expenditures, accurately identify the need for, or anticipate the timing of certain capital expenditures, which may adversely impact our business.** 

We regularly expend capital to construct, maintain and renovate our mountain Resorts and properties in order to remain competitive, maintain the value and brand standards of our mountain Resorts and properties and comply with applicable laws and regulations. We cannot always predict where and when capital will need to be expended in a given fiscal year and capital expenditures can increase due to circumstances beyond our control, including due to the impact of tariff and trade disputes. We currently anticipate that we will spend approximately $198 million to $203 million on capital projects in calendar year 2025.

Our ability to fund capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or to borrow from third parties in the debt market or raise additional capital in the equity market. We cannot provide assurances that our operations will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to fund such capital expenditures or that cash flows generated will be allocated to fund capital expenditures, or that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital from other sources on adequate terms, or at all, especially considering elevated interest rates. Our ability to generate cash flow and to obtain third-party financing will depend upon many factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our future operating performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic conditions, including interest rates, and economic conditions affecting the resort industry, the ski industry and the capital markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• legislative and regulatory matters affecting our operations and business;

Any inability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations or to obtain adequate third-party financing could cause us to delay or abandon certain projects and/or plans.

Further, our properties and equipment at our mountain Resorts, including parking areas, roads, ski lifts, and other infrastructure, require periodic maintenance capital expenditures in order to maintain standards of satisfactory operating performance and appearance. Although some maintenance capital expenditure projects are routine and normally planned to occur outside of peak operating periods in order to not interfere with business operations, other maintenance capital expenditure projects are non-routine, difficult to predict, and could arise during peak operating periods. If we fail to identify the need for a maintenance

------

project, address a maintenance project timely, or fail to anticipate the criticality of a maintenance project for key infrastructure and therefore defer maintenance projects, we could be forced as a result to temporarily close certain of our facilities, particularly during peak operating periods, and our business and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.

**A disruption in our water supply would impact our snowmaking capabilities and operations.** 

Our operations are heavily dependent upon our access to adequate supplies of water for snowmaking and to otherwise conduct our operations. Our mountain Resorts are subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to water rights. Changes in these laws and regulations may adversely affect our operations. In addition, a severe and prolonged drought may adversely affect our water supply and increase the cost of snowmaking. A significant change in law or policy, impact from climate change or any other interference with our access to adequate supplies of water to support our current operations or an expansion of our operations would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

**We rely on various government permits and landlord approvals at our U.S. resorts.** 

Our U.S. Resort operations require permits and approvals from certain federal, state and local authorities, including the Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the States of Vermont, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and the NPS. Virtually all of our ski trails and related activities, including our summer activities, at Vail Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone, Crested Butte, Stevens Pass, Heavenly, Kirkwood, Mount Snow, Wildcat, a majority of Beaver Creek and portions of Attitash are located on National Forest System lands. The Forest Service has granted us permits to use these lands, but maintains the right to review and approve many operational matters, as well as the location, design and construction of improvements in these areas. The expiration dates for our permits are set forth in the Business section of this Form 10-K under the heading "Contracts with Governmental Authorities for Resort Operations".

The Forest Service can terminate these permits if it determines that such termination is required in the public interest. A termination of any of our permits could have a materially adverse effect on our business and operations. In order to undertake improvements and new development, we must apply for and obtain permits and other approvals from the Forest Service. These efforts, if unsuccessful, could impact some of our expansion efforts. Furthermore, Congress may materially increase the fees we pay to the Forest Service for use of these National Forest System lands.

Stowe and Okemo are partially located on land we lease from the State of Vermont, Mount Sunapee is located on land we lease from the State of New Hampshire and Laurel Mountain is located on land we lease from the State of Pennsylvania. We are required to seek approval from such states for certain developments and improvements made to these resorts. Certain other resorts are operated on land under long-term leases with third parties. For example, operations at our Northstar, Park City, Mad River Mountain Resorts and Paoli Peaks are conducted pursuant to long-term leases with third parties who require us to operate the Resorts in accordance with the terms of the leases and seek certain approvals from the respective landlords for certain improvements made to the Resorts. The initial lease term for Northstar with affiliates of EPR Properties expires in January 2027 and allows for three 10-year renewal options. We entered into a transaction agreement, master lease agreement and ancillary transaction documents with affiliate companies of Talisker Corporation ("Talisker"), and the initial lease term for our Park City resort with Talisker expires in May 2063. Following the initial lease term expiration, we have six 50-year renewal options. Additionally, GTLC and Flagg Ranch are operated under concession agreements with the NPS that expire on December 31, 2025 and October 31, 2028, respectively. The NPS has released a contract solicitation for the services offered by GTLC, and we intend to timely submit a bid on behalf of the Company. We currently expect that our existing agreement will be extended for an additional one year through December 31, 2026 due to the time needed for solicitation, preparation, review and award of a new contract. We expect the NPS to confirm this extension in the fall of 2025. There is no guarantee that at the end of the lease, license, concession or other agreement under which we operate our Resorts, the agreement will be renewed, if desired, or that we will be able to negotiate new terms that are favorable to us. Additionally, our Resorts that operate entirely or partially on privately-owned land are subject to local land use regulation and oversight by state, county and/or town governments, and we may not be able to obtain the requisite approvals needed for resort improvements or expansions. Failure to comply with the provisions, obligations and terms (including renewal requirements and deadlines) of our material permits and leases could adversely impact our operating results.

**We rely on foreign government leases and landlord approvals, and are subject to certain related laws and regulations, at our international resorts.** 

Our international Resort operations require permits and approvals from certain foreign authorities, including, but not limited to, the (i) Province of British Columbia; (ii) the New South Wales and Victoria, Australia governments; and (iii) the DDPS, the municipalities of Tujetsch, Crans-Montana, and Lens, regional civic communities, such as Bourgeoisie de Montana and Consortage de l'Alpage de Mer-dechon, and the FOT in Switzerland. Our operations at Whistler Blackcomb are located on

------

Crown Land within the traditional territory of the Squamish and Lil'wat Nations, and the operations and future development of both Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain are governed by Master Development Agreements, which expire on February 23, 2077. We have a lease and a license for Perisher within the Kosciusko National Park which expires in June 2048, with an option to renew for an additional period of 20 years. Perisher relies on a suite of planning approvals (and existing use rights) granted under the Australian EPA Act to operate the resort. Strategic planning documents have been adopted to provide a framework for the assessment and approval of future development at the resort. Perisher also holds a number of environmental approvals to regulate its operations, including an environment protection license and a suite of dangerous goods licenses related to the storage of diesel, heating oil and propane in storage tanks across the resort. Each of Falls Creek and a majority of Hotham is located in the Alpine National Park in Victoria, Australia that is permanently reserved under the Crown Land Act and subject to the ARM Act. The ARM Act established the Falls Creek RMB and the Hotham RMB, which is responsible for the management and collection of fees from Falls Creek and Hotham, respectively, and the ARM Regulations give each of the Falls Creek RMB and the Hotham RMB certain discretion over the operations of Falls Creek and Hotham, respectively, including the authority to (i) declare the snow season, (ii) temporarily close the applicable resort if entry would be a significant danger to public safety and (iii) determine which portions of the applicable resort are open to the public and the activities that are permitted on those portions of such resort. Portions of our operations at Andermatt-Sedrun are located on land owned by (i) the DDPS and subject to two leasehold agreements with ASA, each with a term of 50 years expiring on April 10, 2067 and March 13, 2068; and (ii) the municipality of Tujetsch by means of a personal easement agreement which expires on October 12, 2032 with an option to apply for renewal. We also hold a passenger transport concessions from the FOT, for a total of 12 cableway installations by means of a plan approval dated May 3, 2014. Each passenger transport concession has a separate expiration date between 2026 and 2042, and we will then be able to apply for an extension or new concession. Portions of our operations at Crans-Montana are located on land owned by regional Bourgeoisies, the municipality of Crans-Montana and private property owners, whereby the owners have granted building rights and/or easements for the operations. Such leasehold property rights expire between 2027 and 2094, and we will then be able to negotiate for an extension. These leasehold properties primarily relate to forest and agricultural zones for which usage is needed for the operation of the ski lifts (e.g. passing through of ski lifts or in connection with the arrival or departure stations of the ski lifts) and are spread over the entire ski resort. We also hold passenger transport concessions from the FOT, for a total of 20 cableway installations. Each passenger transport concession has a separate expiration date between 2032 and 2047, and we will then be able to apply for an extension or new concession. There is no guarantee that at the end of the initial lease/license or agreements under which we operate our Resorts we will renew or, if desired, be able to negotiate new terms that are favorable to us. Failure to comply with the provisions, obligations and terms (including renewal requirements and deadlines) of our material permits and leases could adversely impact our operating results.

**Any resource efficiency transformation initiatives that we undertake may not deliver the results we expect.**

To create organizational effectiveness and scale for operating leverage as we grow globally, we announced a multi-year resource efficiency transformation plan to achieve $100 million in annualized savings by the end of Fiscal 2026. Our ability to realize anticipated benefits from these plans is subject to many estimates and assumptions, including business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, and accordingly there can be no assurance that the anticipated savings, operating efficiencies or other benefits will be achieved, within the anticipated timeframes or at all, or that they will not be significantly and materially less than anticipated.

**We are subject to extensive environmental and health and safety laws and regulations in the ordinary course of business.** 

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations including those relating to air emissions, discharges to water, storage, treatment and disposal of wastes and other liquids, land use, remediation of contaminated sites, protection of natural resources such as wetlands and sustainable visitor or tourist use and enjoyment. For example, future expansions of certain of our mountain facilities must comply with applicable forest plans approved under the National Forest Management Act, federal, state and foreign wildlife protection laws or local zoning requirements, and in Vermont, our operations must comply with Act 250, which regulates the impacts of development to, among other things, waterways, air, wildlife and earth resources, and any projects must be completed pursuant to a Master Plan. In addition, most projects to improve, upgrade or expand our ski areas are subject to environmental review under the NEPA, FRPA, Act 250, the CEQA, the Australian NPW Act, the Australian EPA Act or the Australian EP Act, the Swiss Environmental Protection Act, the Swiss Waters Protection Act, the Swiss Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage, the Swiss Forest Act, the Swiss Act on Hunting and the Protection of Wild Mammals and Birds, and the Swiss Spatial Planning Act, as applicable. Our ski area improvement proposals may not be approved or may be approved with modifications that substantially increase the cost or decrease the desirability of implementing the project. From time to time our operations are subject to inspections by environmental regulators or other regulatory agencies. We are also subject to worker health and safety requirements as well as various state and local public health laws, rules, regulations and orders. We believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable material environmental, health and safety requirements. However, our efforts to comply do not eliminate the

------

risk that we may be held liable, incur fines or be subject to claims for damages, and that the amount of any liability, fines, damages or remediation costs may be material for, among other things, the presence or release of regulated materials at, on or emanating from properties we now or formerly owned or operated, newly discovered environmental impacts or contamination at or from any of our properties, or changes in environmental laws and regulations or their enforcement.

**Changes in security and privacy laws and regulations could increase our operating costs, increase our exposure to fines and litigation, and adversely affect our ability to market our products, properties and services effectively.** 

The information, security and privacy requirements imposed by applicable laws and governmental regulation and the payment card industry are increasingly demanding in the U.S. and other jurisdictions where we operate. Maintaining compliance with applicable security and privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or our exposure to potential fines and litigation in connection with the enforcement of such regulations, particularly in light of the launch of the My Epic App, or otherwise impact our ability to market our products, properties and services to our guests. In addition, any failure to maintain compliance with such regulations may cause us to incur significant penalties and generate negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, increase our costs and adversely affect our business. Any future changes or restrictions in U.S. or international privacy laws could also adversely affect our operations, including our ability to transfer guest data. Changes in U.S. or international law affecting marketing, solicitation or privacy, could adversely affect our marketing activities and force changes in our marketing strategy or increase the costs of marketing. If access to lists of potential customers from travel service providers or other companies with whom we have relationships was prohibited or otherwise restricted, our ability to develop new customers and introduce them to our products could be impaired.

**We rely on information technology to operate our businesses and maintain our competitiveness, and any failure to adapt to technological developments or industry trends could harm our business or competitive position.** 

We depend on the use of sophisticated information technology and systems for central reservations, point of sale, marketing, customer relationship management and communication, procurement, maintaining the privacy of guest and employee data, administration and technologies we make available to our guests. We must continuously improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to offer enhanced products, services, features and functionality, while maintaining the reliability and integrity of our systems, network security and infrastructure. Particularly in light of the launch of the My Epic App, we may not be able to maintain our existing systems or replace or introduce new technologies and systems as quickly as we would like or in a cost-effective manner, which may keep us from achieving the desired results in a timely manner, to the extent anticipated, or at all. Also, we may be unable to devote adequate financial resources to new technologies and systems in the future. If any of these events occur, our business and financial performance could suffer.

**We may not be able to hire, train, reward and retain adequate team members and determine and maintain adequate staffing, including our seasonal workforce, which may impact labor costs and our ability to achieve our operating, growth and financial objectives.**

Our long-term growth and profitability depend partially on our ability to recruit and retain high-quality employees to work in and manage our Resorts. Adequate staffing and retention of qualified employees is a critical factor affecting our guests' experiences in our Resorts. In addition, our mountain and lodging operations are highly dependent on a large seasonal workforce. Maintaining adequate staffing is complicated and unpredictable. The market for the most qualified talent continues to be highly competitive and we must provide competitive wages, benefits and workplace conditions to attract and retain the most qualified employees, particularly during a time when we have seen significant wage inflation in the market for employees. In addition, in many communities, the supply of resort-area housing is constrained due to market conditions, making it difficult for our employees to obtain available, affordable housing. Further, zoning regulations, protracted approval processes and local anti-development sentiment can prevent or substantially delay new housing projects that we or other parties may pursue to meet the demand for new affordable housing stock.

Changes in immigration laws, including changes to the manner in which the laws and regulations are interpreted or enforced, could also impact our workforce because we typically recruit and hire foreign nationals as part of our seasonal workforce. A shortage of international workers, failure to adequately recruit and retain new domestic employees, higher than expected attrition levels, or increased wages all could affect our ability to open and operate parts of our Resorts, deliver guest service at traditional margins or achieve our labor cost objectives.

We are also subject to various federal, state and foreign laws governing matters such as minimum wage requirements, sick leave pay, overtime compensation and other working conditions, work authorization requirements, discrimination and family and medical leave. Cost of labor and labor-related benefits are primary components in the cost of our operations. Labor shortages, affordable employee housing shortages, increased employee turnover and health care mandates can increase our labor costs. We are subject to mandated minimum wage rates and we also experience market-driven pressures to pay wages

------

even higher than mandated minimum wages. This can result in increases not only to the wages of our minimum wage employees but also to the wages paid to employees at wage rates that are above the minimum wage. During Fiscal 2023, we increased our minimum wage for North American employees to $20 per hour and announced a substantial investment in our human resource department to support more normalized staffing and operations at our Resorts.

From time to time, we have experienced non-union employees attempting to unionize. While only a very small portion of our employees are unionized at present, we have and may again experience additional union activity in the future, which could lead to disruptions in our business, increases in our operating costs and/or constraints on our operating flexibility. These potential labor impacts could adversely impact our results of operations. For additional details, see "Business—Human Capital Management."

**Our business depends on the quality and reputation of our brands, and any deterioration in the quality or reputation of these brands, including as a result of misappropriation of our intellectual property or the risk of accidents occurring at our mountain resorts or competing mountain resorts, may reduce visitation and negatively impact our operations.**

A negative public image or other adverse events could affect the reputation of one or more of our mountain Resorts, other destination resorts, hotel properties and other businesses or more generally impact the reputation of our brands. Any resulting harm on our business may be immediate without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. Our ability to attract and retain guests depends, in part, upon the external perceptions of the Company, the quality and safety of our Resorts, services and activities, including summer activities, and our corporate and management integrity. While we maintain and promote an on-mountain safety program, there are inherent risks associated with our Resort activities. From time to time in the past, accidents and other injuries have occurred on Resort property. An accident or an injury at any of our Resorts or at resorts operated by competitors, particularly an accident or injury involving the safety of guests and employees that receives media attention, could negatively impact our brand or reputation, cause loss of consumer confidence in us, reduce visitation at our Resorts, and negatively impact our results of operations.

The considerable expansion in the use of social media over recent years has compounded the impact of negative publicity. Information posted on social media platforms at any time may be adverse to our interests or may be inaccurate, each of which may harm our reputation or business. If the reputation or perceived quality of our brands declines, our market share, reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted. Additionally, our intellectual property, including our trademarks, domain names and other proprietary rights, constitutes a significant part of our value. Any misappropriation, infringement or violation of our intellectual property rights could also diminish the value of our brands and their market acceptance, competitive advantages or goodwill, which could adversely affect our business.

In addition, the quality and reputation of our brands is dependent on our marketing strategies and execution. The continuously changing marketing environment, guest behavior and advertising technologies require that we regularly reassess and adapt our communication approaches and marketing techniques. If we fail to adequately keep pace with these changes, or if we fail to effectively execute our marketing strategies, we may be unable to maintain strong brand awareness and reputation, which may ultimately impact our results of operations.

**Increased scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, consumers, employees, regulators, and others regarding our sustainability practices and reporting could cause us to incur additional costs, devote additional resources and expose us to additional risks, which could adversely impact our reputation, guest attraction, access to capital and employee recruitment and retention.** 

Companies across all industries are facing scrutiny related to their sustainability practices and reporting. Investors, consumers, employees and other stakeholders have focused increasingly on sustainability practices and have placed increasing importance on the implications and social cost of their investments, purchases and other interactions with companies. We have launched numerous sustainability initiatives in recent years, including commitments to achieve various sustainability targets.

Our ability to achieve any sustainability objective is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control. Examples of such risks include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the evolving regulatory requirements affecting sustainability practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability, and other corporate responsibility standards that we may set; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to recruit, develop and retain diverse talent in our labor markets.

------

If we fail, or are perceived to be failing, to meet the standards included in any sustainability disclosure, or fail to achieve our sustainability targets or complete previously announced sustainability initiatives, or otherwise fail to meet the expectations of our various stakeholders, it could negatively impact our reputation, customer attraction and retention, access to capital, and employee retention. In addition, new sustainability rules and regulations have been adopted and may continue to be introduced. Our failure to comply with any applicable rules or regulations could lead to penalties and adversely impact our reputation, customer attraction and retention, access to capital, and employee retention.

**Our acquisitions might not be successful.** 

In recent years, we have completed numerous acquisitions and may continue to acquire certain mountain resorts, hotel properties and other businesses complementary to our own, as well as developable land in proximity to our Resorts. Acquisitions are complex to evaluate, execute and integrate. We cannot ensure that we will be able to accurately evaluate or successfully integrate and manage acquired mountain resorts, properties and businesses and increase our profits from these operations. We continually evaluate potential acquisitions both domestically and internationally and intend to actively pursue acquisition opportunities, some of which could be significant. As a result, we face various risks from acquisitions, including our recent acquisitions of the Seven Springs Resorts, Andermatt-Sedrun and Crans-Montana, some of which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our evaluation of the synergies and/or long-term benefits of an acquired business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to integrate acquired businesses into our operations as planned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of our management's attention;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased expenditures (including legal, accounting and due diligence expenses, higher administrative costs to support the acquired entities, information technology, personnel and other integration expenses);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of financial and operational resources from enhancing our existing business operations and assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential increased debt leverage;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential issuance of dilutive equity securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• litigation arising from acquisition activity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential impairment of goodwill, intangible or tangible assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional risks with respect to current and potential international operations, including by unique laws, regulations and business practices of foreign jurisdictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated problems or liabilities.

In addition, we run the risk that any new acquisitions may fail to perform in accordance with expectations, and that estimates of the costs of improvements and integration for such properties may prove inaccurate.

**We are subject to additional risks with respect to our current and potential international operations and properties.**

We have and may continue to increase our operations outside of the United States, with international acquisitions to date including Whistler Blackcomb in Canada; Perisher, Hotham and Falls Creek in Australia; and Andermatt-Sedrun and Crans-Montana in Switzerland. We are accordingly subject to a number of risks relating to doing business internationally. We also intend to consider strategic growth opportunities for our portfolio globally through acquisitions in attractive international markets to service demonstrable demand where we believe the anticipated risk-adjusted returns are consistent with our investment objectives. Our international operations and properties and in particular our newly acquired European properties could be affected by factors peculiar to the laws, regulations and business practices of those jurisdictions. These laws, regulations and business practices expose us to risks that are different than or in addition to those commonly found in the United States. Risks relating to our international operations and properties include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changing governmental rules and policies, including changes in land use and zoning laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enactment of laws relating to international ownership and laws restricting the ability to remove profits earned from activities within a particular country to a person's or company's country of origin;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in laws or policies governing foreign trade or investment and use of foreign operations or workers, and any negative sentiments towards multinational companies as a result of any such changes to laws, regulations or policies or due to trends such as political populism and economic nationalism;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• variations in currency exchange rates and the imposition of currency controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse market conditions caused by terrorism, civil unrest, natural disasters, infectious disease and changes in international, national or local governmental or economic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• business disruptions arising from public health crises and outbreaks of communicable diseases, including the recent coronavirus outbreak;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the willingness of U.S. or international lenders to make loans in certain countries and changes in the availability, cost and terms of secured and unsecured debt resulting from varying governmental economic policies;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the imposition of unique tax structures and changes in tax rates and other operating expenses in particular countries, including the potential imposition of adverse or confiscatory taxes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential imposition of restrictions on currency conversions or the transfer of funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general political and economic instability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with international laws and regulations (including anti-corruption regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• data security, including requirements that local customer data be stored locally and not transferred to other jurisdictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our limited experience and expertise in foreign countries, particularly European countries, relative to our experience and expertise in the United States;

If any of the foregoing risks were to materialize, they could materially and adversely affect us.

**Exchange rate fluctuations could result in significant foreign currency gains and losses and affect our business results.** 

We are exposed to currency translation risk because the local currency utilized in the operations of Whistler Blackcomb, Perisher, Hotham, Falls Creek, Andermatt-Sedrun and Crans-Montana are different than our functional currency, the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates, in particular between the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and the U.S. dollar, affect the amounts we record for our foreign assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and could have a negative effect on our financial results. We currently do not enter into hedging arrangements to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We expect that our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will increase as our international operations grow and if we acquire additional international resorts.

**We are subject to tax laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions, and changes to those laws and regulations or interpretations thereof or adverse determinations by tax authorities may adversely affect us.**

We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in multiple foreign jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Our effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation.

In addition, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reached agreement among various countries to implement a minimum 15% tax rate on certain multinational enterprises, commonly referred to as Pillar Two. Many countries continue to announce changes in their tax laws and regulations based on the Pillar Two proposals and have enacted legislation to implement the core elements of the Pillar Two model rules. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of these proposed and enacted legislative changes as new guidance becomes available. Some of these legislative changes could impact our effective tax rate and tax liabilities. Given the numerous proposed tax law changes and the uncertainty regarding such proposed legislative changes, the impact of Pillar Two cannot be determined at this time.

We are also subject to the examination of tax returns and other tax matters by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. If our effective tax rates were to increase or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be adversely affected.

**Risks Relating to Ownership of our Common Stock**

**We cannot provide assurance that we will pay dividends, or if paid, that dividend payments will be consistent with historical levels.** 

We have generally paid quarterly dividends since fiscal 2011 (with the exception of several quarters in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 to maintain short-term liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic), which are funded through cash flow from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facilities. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors (the "Board"), and is limited by applicable state law concepts of available funds for distribution, as well as contractual restrictions. As a result, the amount, if any, of the dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon a number of factors, including our available cash on hand, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, restrictions contained in our Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Vail Holdings Credit Agreement"), any future contractual restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other factors considered relevant by our Board. In addition, our Board may also suspend the payment of dividends at any time if it deems such action to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If we do not pay dividends, the price of our common stock must appreciate for

------

investors to realize a gain on their investment in Vail Resorts, Inc. This appreciation may not occur and our stock may in fact depreciate in value. On September 26, 2025, our Board approved a cash dividend of $2.22 per share payable on October 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of October 9, 2025.

**Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to operate our business, to react to changes in the economy or our industry, to fulfill our obligations under our various notes, to pay our other debts, and could divert our cash flow from operations for debt payments.** 

We have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant interest and principal payments. As of July 31, 2025, we had $3.2 billion in total indebtedness outstanding. This amount includes (i) $910.5 million of indebtedness pursuant to the term loan facility under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement that matures in 2029, (ii) $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of our unsecured senior notes due 2032 (the "6.50% Notes"), (iii) $525.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.0% convertible notes due 2026 (the "0.0% Convertible Notes"), (iv) $500 million in aggregate principal amount of our unsecured senior notes due 2030 (the "5.625% Notes"), and (v) $374.9 million with respect to our obligation associated with the Canyons long-term lease, (vi) $114.2 million with respect to the EPR Secured Notes under the master credit and security agreements and other related agreements with EPT Ski Properties, Inc. and its affiliates ("EPR"), as amended (collectively, the "EPR Agreements"), (vii) $52.6 million with respect to our obligations associated with outstanding debt of certain employee housing entities, (viii) $37.1 million with respect to the New Regional Policy loan between Andermatt-Sedrun and the Canton of Uri and Canton of Graubünden (the "NRP Loan"), and (xi) $27.4 million with respect to our obligations associated with Whistler Blackcomb employee housing leases. We also have a credit agreement at Whistler Blackcomb that matures in 2028 (the "Whistler Credit Agreement"), which had no amounts outstanding as of July 31, 2025. Collectively, the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, the Whistler Credit Agreement, the EPR Agreements and the NRP Loan are referred to herein as the "Credit Agreements," and such facilities, the "Credit Facilities." Our borrowings under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement are subject to interest rate changes substantially increasing our risk to changes in interest rates. Under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, including the term loan facility, bear interest annually at a rate of SOFR plus 1.60%. As of July 31, 2025 we also have, on a cumulative basis, minimum lease payment obligations under operating leases of approximately $342.6 million over the term of the leases. Our level of indebtedness and minimum lease payment obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, including the annual payments under the Canyons lease, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund dividend payments, working capital, capital expenditures, real estate developments, marketing efforts and other general corporate purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our ability to borrow additional funds, refinance debt, or obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make it difficult for us to satisfy our obligations, including debt service requirements under our outstanding debt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause potential or existing customers to not contract with us due to concerns over our ability to meet our financial obligations, such as insuring against our professional liability risks, under such contracts.

Furthermore, our debt under our Credit Facilities bears interest at variable rates, which may be impacted by potential future changes in interest rates due to reference rate reform. We may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of our Credit Facilities, the 5.625% Notes, the 0.0% Convertible Notes and the 6.50% Notes do not fully prohibit us from doing so. If we incur additional debt, the related risks that we face could intensify.

Additionally, our Credit Facilities also impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur or guarantee additional debt or issue capital stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make certain investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• incur certain liens;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into transactions with affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• merge or consolidate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter into agreements that restrict the ability of subsidiaries to make dividends, distributions or other payments to us or the guarantors;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transfer or sell assets.

The indentures governing the 5.625% Notes and the 6.50% Notes contains a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• grant or permit liens;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engage in a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.

In addition, the Whistler Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the ability of Whistler Mountain Resort Limited Partnership and Blackcomb Skiing Enterprises Limited Partnership (together "The WB Partnerships") and their respective subsidiaries, and the EPR Agreements contain restrictions on the ability of Peak Resorts and its subsidiaries, to make dividends, distributions or other payments to us or the guarantors. We and our subsidiaries are subject to other covenants, representations and warranties in respect of our Credit Facilities, including financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreements. Events beyond our control may affect our ability to comply with these covenants.

The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We may not be able to maintain compliance with our financial covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, we may not be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.

There can be no assurance that we will meet the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facilities, when in effect. If we breach any of these restrictions or covenants, or suffer a material adverse change which restricts our borrowing ability under our Credit Facilities, we would not be able to borrow funds thereunder without a waiver. Any inability to borrow could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a breach, if uncured, could cause a default under the applicable agreement(s) governing our indebtedness, in which case such we may be required to repay these borrowings before their due date. We may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. If we are forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms or cannot refinance these borrowings, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

**We may not continue to repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, and any such repurchases may not enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and could diminish our cash reserves.** 

On March 9, 2006, the Company's Board 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 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. Since inception of this stock repurchase program through July 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 11,060,183 shares at a cost of approximately $1,399.4 million, excluding accrued excise tax. As of July 31, 2025, 1,539,817 Vail Shares remained available to repurchase under the existing share repurchase program, which has no expiration date.

Although our Board has approved a share repurchase program, the share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, our liquidity and capital resources, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. In addition, repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program could cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Additionally, our share repurchase program could reduce our available liquidity, which may impact our ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions. Further, the Internal Revenue Service recently implemented a nondeductible excise tax equal to 1% of the fair market value of certain corporate share repurchases. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases will enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below levels at which we repurchased shares of stock. Although our share repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance that it will do so and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program's effectiveness.

------

**General Risk Factors**

**We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business.** 

We are, from time to time, subject to various asserted or unasserted legal proceedings and claims. Any such proceedings or claims, regardless of merit, could be time consuming and expensive to defend and could divert management's attention and resources. While we believe we have adequate insurance coverage and/or accrue for loss contingencies for all known matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated, we cannot provide any assurance that the outcome of all current or future litigation proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on us and our results of operations.

**We are subject to complex and evolving accounting regulations and use certain estimates and judgments that may differ significantly from actual results.** 

Implementation of existing and future legislation, rulings, standards and interpretations from the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory bodies could affect the presentation of our financial statements and related disclosures. Future regulatory requirements could significantly change our current accounting practices and disclosures. Such changes in the presentation of our financial statements and related disclosures could change an investor's interpretation or perception of our financial position and results of operations.

We use many methods, estimates and judgments in applying our accounting policies (see "Critical Accounting Policies" in Item 7 of this Form 10-K), including in connection with acquisitions. Such methods, estimates and judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations.

**Anti-takeover provisions affecting us could prevent or delay a change of control that is beneficial to our stockholders.** 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, provisions of our debt instruments and other agreements and provisions of applicable Delaware law and applicable federal and state regulations may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or other change of control that holders of our securities may consider favorable. These provisions could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discourage bids for our securities at a premium over the market price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of our securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impede the ability of the holders of our securities to change our management.

For instance, provisions of the indentures governing our indebtedness stipulate that the Company must repurchase the senior notes at the option of their holders upon the event of a change in control of the Company. Further, a change of control would constitute an event of default under our credit agreements.

**ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.**

**ITEM 1C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CYBERSECURITY.**

*Risk Management and Strategy*

Cybersecurity is a dynamic and constantly evolving field. We are committed to continuously improving our cybersecurity posture by staying informed about emerging threats, adopting industry best practices, and integrating feedback from our assessments and incidents. Our goal is to maintain a resilient cybersecurity framework that protects our assets and supports our long-term business objectives.

We manage risks from cybersecurity threats through our overall enterprise risk management process, which is overseen by our Board. Our cybersecurity risks are considered individually as part of our enterprise risk management process alongside other risks, and priorities and discussed with our Board. Management has created an information security program, which is comprised of a dedicated information security team and policies, procedures, and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats. Our policies, procedures, and processes follow recognized frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") and the International Organization for Standardization, as well as other relevant standards. Our program is designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, security, and availability of data created, collected, stored, and used to operate our business.

------

We identify, assess, and manage risks from cybersecurity threats through various mechanisms, which from time to time may include tabletop exercises, control gap analyses, threat modeling, impact analyses, internal audits, external audits, vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and engagement of third parties to conduct analyses of our information security program. We obtain cybersecurity threat intelligence from recognized forums, third parties, and other sources as part of our risk assessment process. We also maintain a risk-based approach for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats associated with third party service providers and other companies with whom we do business. As part of our cybersecurity program, team members receive cybersecurity training and participate in awareness programs including phishing simulation exercises and reminders, and programming and events during Cybersecurity Awareness Month. We also carry cyber security insurance, which is renewed annually and covers cyber events and business interruption. We closely monitor costs of breaches within the industry in an effort to ensure that our coverage is sufficient to address all reasonably foreseeable threats and levels of risk.

We maintain an Incident Response Plan ("IRP"), which applies to information security incidents. Our IRP sets out a coordinated, multi-functional approach for investigating, containing, and mitigating incidents, as well as the communication protocol of such incidents to senior management and other key stakeholders pursuant to established thresholds so that decisions regarding the disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner. In general, our incident response process follows the NIST framework and focuses on four phases: (i) preparation; (ii) detection and analysis; (iii) containment, eradication, and recovery; and (iv) post-incident remediation.

Board oversight of cybersecurity risk management is supported by the Audit Committee, which regularly reviews internal reports from management with respect to information technology and cybersecurity issues, and interacts with our enterprise risk management function and our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") regarding major cybersecurity risk areas and recommended actions to address such risks.

*Cybersecurity Governance*

Our Information Security and Compliance teams, in coordination with the Board and Audit Committee, oversees the management of risks from cybersecurity threats, including the policies, standards, processes, and practices that our CIO and our Vice President of Information Security, in coordination with our Information Technology Senior Leadership Team, develop and implement to address risks from cybersecurity threats. The Board and the Audit Committee each receive regular presentations and reports on cybersecurity risks, which address a wide range of topics including, for example, recent developments, evolving standards, vulnerability assessments, third-party and independent reviews, the threat environment, technological trends, and information security considerations arising with respect to our peers and third parties. The Board and the Audit Committee are also informed of any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding such incident until it has been addressed. At least once each quarter, the Audit Committee discusses our approach to cybersecurity risk management with our CIO, and at least annually, or more frequently as necessary, our CIO meets with the Board to discuss cybersecurity risk management.

Our CIO and our Vice President of Information Security are principally responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity risk management program, in partnership with other business leaders across company. Our CIO serves as Chair of our Cybersecurity Incident Materiality Assessment Council and works in coordination with the other members of our Executive Committee.

Our CIO has served in various roles in information technology and information security for over 27 years, including in technology leadership roles such as Chief Information Officer, Vice President Business Technology, Vice President Business Information Services, Senior Director of Mountain Technology, Director of Resort Application Development, and Director of Order Management Systems leadership roles for large public companies. Our CIO holds a B.B.A. in Management Information Systems and Accounting from University of Oklahoma.

Our Vice President of Information Security has served in various roles in information technology and information security for over 27 years, including as Vice President of Information Security for large public companies. In addition, our Vice President of Information Security has previously held roles including Vice President of Information Security and Technology, Senior Director Information Technology, Director IT Security and Compliance, and Senior IT Audit Manager. Our Vice President of Information Security has earned several certifications including CISSP, CISA, CISSM, and PCI-ISA. Our Vice President of Information Security holds a B.S. in Management Information Systems from Iowa State University and an MBA from Auburn University.

Our CIO and Vice President of Information Security, in coordination with our Legal, Internal Audit, and Compliance teams, work collaboratively across the company to implement a program designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats and to promptly respond to any cybersecurity incidents in accordance with our security IRP. To facilitate

------

the success of this program, multidisciplinary teams throughout the company are deployed to address cybersecurity threats and to respond to cybersecurity incidents in accordance with our incident response and recovery plans. Through the ongoing communications from these teams, the CIO, the Vice President of Information Security, and our Cybersecurity Incident Materiality Assessment Council monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents in real time, and report such incidents to the Audit Committee when appropriate.

The Audit Committee reviews our cybersecurity management strategy and initiatives on a regular basis and oversees the management of risks from cybersecurity threats, including the policies, processes, and practices implemented by the Company to address such risks. The Audit Committee also routinely receives reports on the cybersecurity landscape, regulatory requirements, industry standards, and emerging threats. Prompt and timely information regarding any significant cybersecurity incident as specified in our IRP, including ongoing updates as the incident unfolds and until it has been addressed, are also provided to both the Board and the Audit Committee.

We do not currently believe cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition; however, we could experience a cybersecurity incident that materially affects us in the future.

**ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.**

We are a party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that we have adequate insurance coverage and/or have accrued for all estimable and probable loss contingencies for asserted and unasserted matters and that, although the ultimate outcome of such claims cannot be ascertained, current pending and threatened claims are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For additional information, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

**PART II**

**ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.**

***Market and Stockholders***

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "MTN." As of September 24, 2025, 35,884,970 shares of common stock were outstanding, held by approximately 228 holders of record.

***Dividend Policy***

In fiscal 2011, our Board approved the commencement of a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common stock, subject to quarterly declaration, which has typically been increased on an annual basis. The amount, if any, of dividends to be paid in the future will depend on our available cash on hand, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, restrictions contained in our Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Vail Holdings Credit Agreement"), future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other factors considered relevant by our Board. On September 26, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $2.22 per share payable on October 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of October 9, 2025. We expect to fund the dividend with available cash on hand.

***Repurchase of Equity Securities***

The following table sets forth our purchases of shares of our common stock during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 ("Fiscal 2025"):

(1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Average price per share excludes any excise tax imposed on stock repurchases as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

(2) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The share repurchase program is conducted under authorizations made from time to time by our Board. The Board initially authorized the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 Vail Shares (March 9, 2006), and later authorized additional repurchases of up to 3,000,000 Vail Shares (July 16, 2008), 1,500,000 Vail Shares (December 4, 2015), 2,500,000 Vail Shares (March 7, 2023), 1,100,000 (September 25, 2024) and 1,500,000 (June 4, 2025), for a total authorization to repurchase up to 12,600,000 Vail Shares. From inception of this stock repurchase program through July 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 11,060,183 shares at a cost of approximately $1,399.4 million, excluding excise tax. As of July 31, 2025, 1,539,817 shares remained available to repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization. Repurchases under these authorizations may be made from time to time at prevailing prices as permitted by applicable laws, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The timing as well as the number of Vail Shares that may be repurchased under the program will depend on several factors, including our future financial performance, our available cash resources and competing uses for cash that may arise in the future, the restrictions in our Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, prevailing prices of Vail Shares and the number of Vail Shares that become available for sale at prices that we believe are attractive. These authorizations have no expiration date.

**ITEM 6.[Reserved]**

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.**

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes related thereto included in this Form 10-K. To the extent that the following MD&A contains statements which are not of a historical nature, such statements are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Forward-Looking Statements section and Item 1A. "Risk Factors," each included in this Form 10-K.

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.

Items excluded from Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA and Net Debt are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance or liquidity. Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA and Net Debt should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, net change in cash and cash equivalents or other financial statement data presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Because Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA and Net Debt are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA and Net Debt, as presented herein, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, our segment Reported EBITDA (i.e. Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate), the measure of segment profit or loss required to be disclosed in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

**Overview**

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.

***Mountain Segment***

In the Mountain segment, the Company operates the following 42 destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas (collectively, "Resorts"):

![MAPUPDATE_20240510 (1).jpg](mtn-20250731_g2.jpg)

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

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.

Lift revenue consists of pass product lift revenue ("pass revenue") and non-pass product lift revenue ("non-pass revenue"). Approximately 65%, 65% and 61% of total lift revenue was derived from pass revenue for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.

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.

***Lodging Segment***

Operations within the Lodging segment include: (i) ownership/management of a group of luxury hotels through the RockResorts brand proximate to our Colorado and Utah mountain resorts; (ii) ownership/management of non-RockResorts branded hotels and condominiums proximate to our North American Resorts; (iii) National Park Service ("NPS") concessioner properties, including the Grand Teton Lodge Company ("GTLC"); (iv) a Colorado resort ground transportation company; and (v) mountain resort golf courses.

------

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.

***Real Estate Segment***

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.

**Recent Trends, Risks and Uncertainties**

We have identified the following important factors (as well as risks and uncertainties associated with such factors) that could impact our future financial performance or condition:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company achieved 2% growth in Resort Reported EBITDA despite total skier visits declining 3% across our North American destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas versus the prior year. 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 for the 2024/2025 North American ski season. For the full year, Resort net revenue increased 3% driven by a 4% increase in season pass revenue and increased ancillary spend per guest across our ski school and dining businesses. Resort Reported EBITDA for fiscal 2025 also reflects strong cost discipline, including $37 million of savings from the resource efficiency transformation plan before one-time costs. The Company's full year Resort Reported EBITDA growth is partially offset by $14 million of increased costs from company-wide performance-based management incentive plan expense that was not earned in the prior year, $15 million of one-time costs related to the two-year resource efficiency transformation plan, $8 million of one-time costs related to the Company's previously announced CEO transition, and $5 million unfavorable EBITDA impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As of July 31, 2025, we had $440.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, as well as $507.9 million available under the revolver component of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, which represents the total commitment of $600.0 million less certain letters of credit outstanding of $92.1 million. We also have $275.0 million available under a delayed draw term loan of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, which will remain available to draw on at any time until January 27, 2026. Additionally, we have a credit facility which supports the liquidity needs of Whistler Blackcomb (the "Whistler Credit Agreement"). 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. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our credit agreements and the continued positive cash flow from operating activities of our Mountain and Lodging segments less resort capital expenditures will continue to provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our operations.

Mountain Reported EBITDA includes $29.6 million, $23.2 million and $21.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.

***Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024***

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.

Lift revenue increased $60.4 million, or 4.2%, due to increases in both pass revenue and non-pass revenue. Pass product revenue increased 4.2%, 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 4.2% primarily as a result of an increase in non-pass ETP (excluding Crans-Montana) of 5.1%, and incremental non-pass revenue from Crans-Montana of $15.4 million,

------

partially offset by a reduction in non-pass visitation (excluding Crans-Montana). Total non-pass ETP, including the impact of Crans-Montana, increased 1.5%.

Ski school revenue increased $5.3 million, or 1.7%, driven by increased lesson pricing, partially offset by decreased North American and Australian skier visitation. Dining revenue increased $13.3 million, or 5.9%, driven by incremental revenue from Crans-Montana of $7.8 million and increased guest spend per visit, partially offset by decreased North American and Australian skier visitation. Retail/rental revenue decreased $14.7 million, or 4.6%, driven by a decrease in retail revenue of $11.7 million, or 6.4%, due to lower sales at our on-mountain retail locations driven by decreased skier visitation. Additionally, rental revenue decreased $3.0 million, or 2.2%, primarily driven by decreased Destination skier visitation, as these guests typically utilize more ancillary services.

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.

Operating expense increased $69.1 million or 4.0%, which was primarily attributable to increased variable expenses associated with increased revenue and incremental operating expenses from Crans-Montana ($29.3 million). Operating expense for the year ended July 31, 2025 also includes the impact of one-time expenses attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan of $14.9 million and one-time expenses attributable to our previously announced CEO transition of $6.8 million. 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.

Labor and labor-related benefits increased 4.1%, 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 $6.1 million. Retail cost of sales decreased 9.2%, compared to a decrease in retail sales of 6.4%, 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 1.6% primarily as a result of an increase in revenues on which those fees are based. General and administrative expense increased 6.4%, primarily due to an increase in corporate overhead costs, including information technology, legal and marketing, as well as 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). Other expense increased 5.6%, primarily due to one-time expenses attributable to our resource efficiency transformation plan ($14.9 million), as well as incremental expenses from Crans-Montana.

Mountain equity investment income, net primarily includes our share of income from the operations of a real estate brokerage company.

Lodging Reported EBITDA includes $4.0 million, $3.3 million and $4.0 million of stock-based compensation expense for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.

***Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024***

Lodging Reported EBITDA decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, 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 summer visitation at GTLC and our mountain resort properties as a result of favorable weather conditions.

------

Revenue from owned hotel rooms increased $4.2 million, or 5.0%, 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 resort properties. Revenue from managed condominium rooms decreased $4.7 million, or 5.4%, 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 $3.1 million, or 4.9%, and golf revenue increased $2.3 million, or 16.7%, each primarily as a result of increased summer visitation at our North American mountain resort properties while transportation revenue decreased $1.5 million, or 8.9%, primarily as a result of decreased Destination visitation at our North American resorts during the 2024/2025 ski season. Other revenue decreased $3.6 million, or 6.3%, primarily as a result of a decrease in other ancillary revenues from the decrease in inventory and occupancy.

Labor and labor-related benefits decreased 1.3%, primarily due to strong cost control and workforce management, as well as lower use of contract labor. General and administrative expense increased $1.1 million, or 1.8%, primarily due to an increase in corporate overhead costs, including information technology, legal and marketing.

Revenue from payroll cost reimbursement and the corresponding reimbursed payroll costs relate to payroll costs at managed hotel properties where we are the employer and all payroll costs are reimbursed by the owners of the properties under contractual arrangements. Since the reimbursements are made based upon the costs incurred with no added margin, the revenue and corresponding expense have no effect on our Lodging Reported EBITDA.

***Real Estate Segment***

Our Real Estate net revenue is primarily determined by the timing of closings and the mix of real estate sold in any given period. Different types of projects have different revenue and profit margins; therefore, as the real estate inventory mix changes, it can greatly impact Real Estate segment net revenue, operating expense, gain or loss on sale of real property and Real Estate Reported EBITDA.

Real Estate segment operating results for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 are presented by category as follows (in thousands):

---

***Fiscal 2025***

During Fiscal 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 third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2025.

Other operating expense of $6.2 million was primarily comprised of general and administrative costs, such as labor and labor-related benefits, professional services and allocated corporate overhead costs.

------

***Fiscal 2024***

During Fiscal 2024, we closed on the sale of a land parcel in Keystone, CO 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.

Other operating expense of $5.9 million was primarily comprised of general and administrative costs, such as labor and labor-related benefits, professional services and allocated corporate overhead costs.

---

*Depreciation and amortization*. Depreciation and amortization expense for Fiscal 2025 increased $17.4 million, compared to the prior year, primarily due to assets acquired in the acquisition of Crans-Montana and additional capital projects completed at our Resorts during the prior capital year.

*Change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration.* Change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration for Fiscal 2025 decreased $38.6 million, compared to prior year, primarily related to an increase in the expected long-term Reported EBITDA performance for Park City in the prior year that resulted in an increase in the liability.

*Gain (loss) on disposal of fixed assets and other, net.* Gain (loss) on disposal of fixed assets and other, net for Fiscal 2025 included a gain on sale of real property for $6.8 million related to a land parcel in Vail in exchange for releasing a use restriction, as well as a net gain on sale of real property for $3.6 million related to the Hotham Airport sale. These gains were partially offset by losses on other annual disposals of fixed assets. Gain (loss) on disposal of fixed assets and other, net for Fiscal 2024 included losses on annual disposals of fixed assets.

*Interest expense, net.* Interest expense, net for Fiscal 2025 increased $7.0 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to the expiration of various interest rate swap agreements on September 23, 2024, which hedged the SOFR-based variable interest rate component of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement in prior year.

*Investment income and other, net.* Investment income and other, net for Fiscal 2025 decreased $8.5 million compared to Fiscal 2024, primarily as a result of decreased average balances of interest-earning investments, as excess cash balances were utilized during Fiscal 2025 for share repurchases, as well as a decrease in interest rates.

*Provision for income taxes.* The effective tax rate for Fiscal 2025 was 25.9%, compared to 27.3% for Fiscal 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in favorable discrete items impacting the tax provision in the current period, including US return-to-provision adjustments during the year ended July 31, 2025.

---

Historically, we have lower cash available at the end of each first and fourth fiscal quarter-ends as compared to our second and third fiscal quarter-ends, primarily due to the seasonality of our Mountain segment operations.

------

***Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024***

We generated $554.9 million of cash from operating activities during Fiscal 2025, a decrease of $34.2 million compared to $589.0 million generated during Fiscal 2024. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily a result of (i) an increase in income tax payments of approximately $32.3 million, driven by net operating loss carryforwards and other deductions in the prior year which offset our estimated payments during Fiscal 2024, and higher taxable income for the current fiscal year; (ii) an increase in cash interest payments ($10.1 million) due to increases in variable interest rates and an increase in seasonal borrowing on our revolving credit facilities; and (iii) a decrease in investment income collected ($8.5 million).

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.

Cash used in financing activities decreased by $334.4 million during Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024, primarily due to proceeds received from the 5.625% Notes offering of $500.0 million, partially offset by a $120.0 million increase in repurchases of our common stock and $48.0 million of cash paid for repurchases of 0.0% Convertible Notes during the year ended July 31, 2025.

***Significant Sources of Cash***

We had $440.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2025, compared to $322.8 million as of July 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to proceeds received from the 5.625% Notes offering, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of our common stock during Fiscal 2025.

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. We also had $275.0 million available under a delayed draw term loan of the Vail Holdings Agreement which will remain available to draw on at any time until January 27, 2026. 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.

***Significant Uses of Cash***

*<u>Capital Expenditures</u>*

We have historically invested significant amounts of cash in capital expenditures for our resort operations, and we expect to continue to do so, subject to operating performance particularly as it relates to discretionary projects. Currently planned capital expenditures primarily include investments that will allow us to maintain our high-quality standards for the guest experience, as well as certain incremental discretionary improvements at our Resorts, throughout our owned hotels and in technology that can impact the full network. We evaluate additional discretionary capital improvements based on an expected level of return on investment.

We expect our capital plan for calendar year 2025 will be approximately $198 million to $203 million, excluding $46 million of growth capital investments at our European resorts, comprised of $43 million at Andermatt-Sedrun and $3 million at Crans-Montana, and $5 million of real estate related capital projects to complete multi-year transformational investments at the key base area portals of Breckenridge Peak 8 and Keystone River Run, and planning investments to support the development of the West Lionshead area into a fourth base village at Vail Mountain. Including European growth capital investments and real estate related capital, our total capital plan for calendar year 2025 is expected to be approximately $249 million to $254 million. Included in these estimated capital expenditures are approximately $124 million to $128 million of maintenance capital expenditures, which are necessary to maintain appearance and level of service appropriate to our resorts. We currently plan to

------

utilize cash on hand, borrowings available under our credit agreements and/or cash flow generated from future operations to provide the cash necessary to complete our capital plans.

Approximately $88 million was spent for calendar year 2025 capital expenditures as of July 31, 2025 and approximately $110 million to $115 million is expected to be spent in the remainder of calendar year 2025, before $46 million of growth capital investments at our European resorts and $5 million of real estate related capital projects.

*<u>Acquisition of Crans-Montana</u>*

On May 2, 2024, we acquired Crans-Montana for a purchase price of CHF 97.2 million ($106.8 million), after adjustments for certain agreed-upon items, which was funded with cash on hand.

*<u>Debt</u>*

As of July 31, 2025, principal payments on the majority of our long-term debt outstanding ($2.5 billion of our $3.2 billion as of July 31, 2025) are not due until fiscal year 2029 and beyond. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, total long-term debt, net (including long-term debt due within one year) was $3.2 billion and 2.8 billion, respectively. Net Debt (defined as long-term debt, net plus long-term debt due within one year less cash and cash equivalents) was $2.8 billion and $2.5 billion as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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 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. No other material terms of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement were amended. As of July 31, 2025, the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million, (ii) a term loan facility of $910.5 million and (iii) an incremental term loan facility of $275.0 million in the form of a delayed draw term loan, and the Whistler Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of C$300.0 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. 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 the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement and the Whistler Credit Agreement, if needed.

Our 0.0% Convertible Notes due 2026 (the "0.0% Convertible Notes") mature on January 1, 2026, and are therefore reflected within long-term debt due within one year on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2025. 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 during the year ended July 31, 2025. Following the repurchases, approximately $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 0.0% Convertible Notes remain outstanding. 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, as discussed further above, are undrawn as of July 31, 2025, and are available to be used to refinance the Company's 0.0% Convertible Notes. Additionally, the Company intends to use the remaining proceeds from the 5.625% Notes, as discussed further below, for the repurchase or repayment of a portion of its outstanding 0.00% Convertible Notes at or prior to their maturity on January 1, 2026.

------

On July 2, 2025, the Company completed an offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Notes due 2030 at par, in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 5.625% Notes are senior unsecured obligation of the Company and will be guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). We will pay interest on the 5.625% Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 2026. The 5.625% Notes mature on July 15, 2030. The 5.625% Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2027 at the redemption prices specified in a 2025 Indenture dated as of July 2, 2025 (the "2025 Indenture") plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to July 15, 2027, the Company may redeem some or all of the 5.625% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a "make-whole" premium as specified in the 2025 Indenture. In addition, prior to July 15, 2027, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% Notes with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The 5.625% Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors (as defined in the 2025 Indenture). The Company used the proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility incurred to fund the repurchase of $200 million of its outstanding shares of common stock completed in June 2025 and to fund off-season liquidity. Additionally, it intends to use the remaining proceeds for the repurchase or repayment of a portion of its outstanding 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 at or prior to their maturity on January 1, 2026.

The 2025 Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and the guarantors to incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or engage in Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in the 2025 Indenture). The 2025 Indenture does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the covenants will not apply to the 5.625% Notes so long as the 5.625% Notes have investment grade ratings from two specified rating agencies and no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the 2025 Indenture. The 2025 Indenture includes customary events of default, including failure to make payment, failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the 2025 Indenture, certain defaults on certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, and invalidity of the guarantees of the 5.625% Notes issued pursuant to the 2025 Indenture.

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.

*<u>Material Cash Requirements</u>*

As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into arrangements that obligate us to make future payments under contracts such as debt agreements and construction agreements in conjunction with our resort capital expenditures. Debt obligations, which totaled $3.2 billion as of July 31, 2025, are recognized as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Obligations under construction contracts and other purchase commitments are not recognized as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet until services and/or goods are received. A summary of our material cash obligations as of July 31, 2025 (excluding obligations presented elsewhere, including Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) is presented below (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Payments Due by Period** | **Payments Due by Period** | **Payments Due by Period** |
|  |<br>**Total** | **Fiscal**<br>**2026** | **More than**<br>**5 years** |
| Long-term debt <sup>(1)</sup> | $3968006 | 740622 | 1347873 |
| Service contracts | $58470 | 39548 |  |
| Purchase obligations and other <sup>(2)</sup> | $631114 | 466065 | 79279 |
| Total contractual cash obligations | $4657590 | $1246235 | $1427152 |

---

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Long-term debt includes principal payments, fixed-rate interest payments and estimated variable interest payments utilizing interest rates in effect at July 31, 2025, and assumes all debt outstanding as of July 31, 2025 will be held to maturity. The future annual interest obligations noted herein are estimated only in relation to debt outstanding as of July 31, 2025, and do not reflect interest obligations on potential future debt or refinancing.

Long-term debt also includes $17.3 million of proceeds resulting from real estate transactions accounted for as financing arrangements, which are expected to be recognized on the Company's Statements of Operations in future years as a result of the anticipated resolution of continuing involvement, with no associated cash outflow.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup> Purchase obligations and other primarily includes amounts which are classified as trade payables ($131.4 million), accrued payroll and benefits ($123.5 million), accrued fees and assessments ($46.5 million), contingent consideration liability ($93.3 million) and accrued taxes (including taxes for uncertain tax positions) ($68.2 million) on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2025. These amounts also include other commitments for goods and services not yet received, including construction contracts and minimum commitments under season pass alliance agreements, which are not included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2025 in accordance with GAAP.

*<u>Share Repurchase Program</u>*

Our share repurchase program is conducted under authorizations made from time to time by our Board. On March 9, 2006, our Board initially authorized the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of Vail Shares and later authorized additional repurchases of up to 3,000,000 additional Vail Shares (July 16, 2008), 1,500,000 Vail Shares (December 4, 2015), 2,500,000 Vail Shares (March 7, 2023), 1,100,000 Vail Shares (September 25, 2024) and 1,500,000 Vail Shares (June 4, 2025), for a total authorization to repurchase shares of up to 12,600,000 Vail Shares. During Fiscal 2025, we repurchased 1,690,503 shares (at an average price of $162.61) for a total cost of approximately $270.0 million, excluding accrued excise tax. Since the inception of this stock repurchase program through July 31, 2025, we have repurchased 11,060,183 Vail Shares at a cost of approximately $1,399.4 million. As of July 31, 2025, 1,539,817 Vail Shares remained available to repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization. Vail Shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase program will be held as treasury shares and may be used for the issuance of shares under our share award plan. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices as permitted by applicable laws, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The timing, as well as the number of Vail Shares that may be repurchased under the program, will depend on several factors, including our future financial performance, our available cash resources and competing uses for cash that may arise in the future, the restrictions in our Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, prevailing prices of Vail Shares and the number of Vail Shares that become available for sale at prices that we believe are attractive. The share repurchase program has no expiration date.

*<u>Dividend Payments</u>*

During Fiscal 2025, we paid cash dividends of $8.88 per share ($328.2 million). During Fiscal 2024, we paid cash dividends of $8.56 per share ($323.7 million). On September 26, 2025, our Board approved a cash dividend of $2.22 per share payable on October 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of October 9, 2025. We expect to fund the dividend with available cash on hand. The amount, if any, of dividends to be paid in the future will depend on our available cash on hand, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, restrictions contained in our Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other factors considered relevant by our Board.

***Covenants and Limitations***

We must abide by certain restrictive financial covenants under our credit agreements. The most restrictive of those covenants include the following: for the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, Secured Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio and the Interest Coverage ratio (each as defined in the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement); for the Whistler Credit Agreement, Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Whistler Credit Agreement); and for the EPR Secured Notes, Maximum Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio (each as defined in the EPR Agreements). Additionally, the New Regional Policy loan between Andermatt-Sedrun and the Canton of Uri and Canton of Graubünden dated June 24, 2016 includes restrictive covenants requiring certain minimum financial results (as defined in the agreement). In addition, our financing arrangements limit our ability to make certain restricted payments, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain investments, make certain affiliate transfers and may limit our ability to enter into certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets and incur certain indebtedness. Our borrowing availability under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement is primarily determined by the Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, which is based on our operating performance, as defined in the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement. Our borrowing availability under the Whistler Credit Agreement is primarily determined by the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is based on the operating performance of the loan parties, as defined in the Whistler Credit Agreement.

------

We were in compliance with all restrictive financial covenants in our debt instruments as of July 31, 2025. We expect that we will continue to meet all applicable financial maintenance covenants in effect in our credit agreements throughout the year ending July 31, 2026; however, there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet such financial covenants. If such covenants are not met, we would be required to seek a waiver or amendment from the banks participating in our credit agreements. There can be no assurance that such waiver or amendment would be granted, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

**Off Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We do not have off balance sheet transactions that are expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to select accounting policies and to make judgments and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies. In applying our accounting policies, different business conditions or the use of different assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have identified the most critical accounting policies which were determined by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We also have other policies considered key accounting policies; however, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting policies because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are complex or subjective. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee of the Board.

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets***

*Description*

The carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for possible impairment on an annual basis or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value. Definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment only when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.

*Judgments and Uncertainties*

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.

*Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions*

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually as of May 1. If the net carrying value of the reporting units or assets exceed their estimated fair value, an impairment will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess; otherwise, no impairment loss is recognized. For our annual impairment tests of our reporting units and indefinite-lived

------

intangible assets during Fiscal 2025, we performed either a qualitative analysis and concluded it was more likely than not that fair value exceeded carrying value or a quantitative analysis and concluded the fair value exceeded carrying value.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual goodwill or indefinite-lived asset impairment tests are accurate. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units may include such items as: (1) prolonged adverse weather conditions resulting in a sustained decline in guest visitation; (2) a prolonged weakness in the general economic conditions in which guest visitation and spending is adversely impacted; and (3) volatility in the equity and debt markets which could result in a higher discount rate.

While we believe that our estimates and judgments are reasonable and while historical quantitative tests concluded that the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived assets that are in excess of carrying values, if our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future. However, it is not possible at this time to determine if an impairment charge would result or if such a charge would be material. As of July 31, 2025, we had $1,675.2 million of goodwill and $252.4 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future.

***Tax Contingencies***

*Description*

We must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits and deductions and in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes, as well as the interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the largest tax benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely of being reversed upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires us to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, interpretation of tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity. A significant amount of time may pass before a particular matter, for which we may have established a reserve, is audited and fully resolved.

*Judgments and Uncertainties*

The estimates of our tax contingencies reserve contain uncertainty because management must use judgment to estimate the potential exposure associated with our various filing positions.

*Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions*

We believe the estimates and judgments we have made related to tax contingencies are reasonable and we have adequate reserves for uncertain tax positions. Our reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any income tax related interest and penalties, are $56.8 million as of July 31, 2025. This reserve solely relates to the treatment of the Canyons lease payments obligation as payments of debt obligations and that the tax basis in Canyons goodwill is deductible. Actual results could differ and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in those reserves and tax provisions that could be material.

An unfavorable tax settlement could require the use of cash and could possibly result in increased tax expense and effective tax rate and/or adjustments to our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in the year of resolution. A favorable tax settlement could possibly result in a reduction in our tax expense, effective tax rate, income taxes payable, other long-term liabilities and/or adjustments to our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in the year of settlement or in future years.

***Depreciable Lives of Assets***

*Description*

Mountain and lodging operational assets, furniture and fixtures, computer equipment, software, vehicles and leasehold improvements are primarily depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets may

------

become obsolete or require replacement before the end of their useful life in which the remaining book value would be written-off or we could incur costs to remove or dispose of assets no longer in use.

*Judgments and Uncertainties*

The estimates of our useful lives of the assets contain uncertainty because management must use judgment to estimate the useful life of the asset.

*Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions*

Although we believe the estimates and judgments discussed herein are reasonable, actual results could differ, and we may be exposed to increased expense related to depreciable assets disposed of, removed or taken out of service prior to its originally estimated useful life, which may be material. A 10% decrease in the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets would have increased depreciation expense by approximately $31.3 million for Fiscal 2025.

***Business Combinations***

*Description*

A component of our growth strategy has been to acquire and integrate businesses that complement our existing operations. We account for business combinations in accordance with the guidance for business combinations and related literature. Accordingly, we allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. In determining the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, we use various recognized valuation methods including present value modeling and referenced market values (where available). Valuations are performed by management or independent valuation specialists under management's supervision, where appropriate.

*Judgments and Uncertainties*

Accounting for business combinations requires our management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, including our estimates for intangible assets, contractual obligations assumed and contingent consideration, where applicable. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired include, but are not limited to: determination of weighted average cost of capital, market participant assumptions, royalty rates, terminal multiples and estimates of future cash flows to be generated by the acquired assets. In addition to the estimates and assumptions applied to valuing intangible assets acquired, the determination of the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, including estimating the likelihood and timing of achieving the relevant thresholds for contingent consideration payments, requires the use of subjective judgments. We estimate the fair value of the Park City contingent consideration payments using an option pricing valuation model which incorporates, among other factors, projected achievement of specified financial performance measures, discount rates and volatility for the respective business.

*Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions*

We believe that the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions that a marketplace participant would use. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments, which could be significant, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the estimated fair values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments would be recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We recognize the fair value of contingent consideration, if any, at the date of acquisition as part of the consideration transferred to acquire a business. The liability associated with contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period subsequent to the date of acquisition taking into consideration changes in financial projections and long-term growth rates, among other factors, that may impact the timing and amount of contingent consideration payments until the term of the agreement has expired or the contingency is resolved. Increases in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded as losses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, while decreases in fair value are recorded as gains.

------

***New Accounting Standards***

Refer to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting standards.

**Seasonality and Quarterly Results**

Our mountain and lodging operations are seasonal in nature, with a typical peak operating season in North America and Europe generally beginning in mid-December and running through mid-April. In particular, revenue and profits for our North American and European mountain and most of our lodging operations are substantially lower and historically result in losses from late spring to late fall. Conversely, peak operating seasons for our NPS concessioner properties, our mountain resort golf courses and our Australian resorts' ski season generally occur during the North American summer months, and these operations typically incur operating losses during the North American and European winter months. Revenue and profits generated by NPS concessioner properties' summer operations, golf operations and Australian resorts' ski operations are not sufficient to fully offset our off-season losses from our North American and European mountain and other lodging operations. During Fiscal 2025, approximately 82% of total combined Mountain and Lodging segment net revenue (excluding Lodging segment revenue associated with reimbursement of payroll costs) was earned during the second and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the operating results for any three-month period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent quarter or for a full year (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

**ITEM 7A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.**

*Interest Rate Risk.* Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to the fluctuating interest rates associated with variable rate indebtedness. At July 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.0 billion of net variable rate indebtedness, representing approximately 30% of our total debt outstanding, at an average interest rate during Fiscal 2025 of approximately 6.1%. Based on variable-rate borrowings outstanding as of July 31, 2025, a 100-basis point (or 1.0%) change in our borrowing rates would result in our annual interest payments changing by $9.6 million. Our market risk exposure fluctuates based on changes in underlying interest rates.

*Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.* We are exposed to currency translation risk because the results of our international entities are reported in local currency, which we then translate to U.S. dollars for inclusion in our Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, changes between the foreign exchange rates, in particular the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Swiss franc compared to the U.S. dollar, affect the amounts we record for our foreign assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and could have a negative effect on our financial results. The results of Whistler Blackcomb are reported in Canadian dollars; the results of our Australian resorts are reported in Australian dollars; and the results of our Swiss resorts are reported in Swiss francs, each of which we then translate to U.S. dollars for inclusion in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not currently enter into hedging arrangements to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our operations.

The following table summarizes the amounts of foreign currency translation adjustments, representing losses, and foreign currency loss on intercompany loans recognized in comprehensive income (in thousands):

***Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

Management of Vail Resorts, Inc. (the "Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, as stated in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the following page.

------

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Vail Resorts, Inc.

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vail Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2025 and 2024**,** and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Fair Value Measurement of the Contingent Consideration* 

As described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has established a liability of $93.3 million as of July 31, 2025 for additional amounts that management believes are likely to be paid to the landlord of Park City (the "Contingent Consideration"). The Company remeasures the Contingent Consideration to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. The estimated fair value of Contingent Consideration includes the 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 net present value. Fair value is estimated using an option pricing valuation model. As described by management, significant assumptions in determining the fair value under this model included future period Park City EBITDA, discount rate and volatility.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the fair value measurement of the Contingent Consideration is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management's significant assumptions for the future period Park City EBITDA, discount rate, and volatility; and (ii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's fair value measurement of the Contingent Consideration including controls over the Company's significant assumptions. The procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for developing the fair value measurement and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management related to the future period Park City EBITDA, discount rate, and volatility. Evaluating management's assumptions related to the future period Park City EBITDA, discount rate, and volatility involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past period EBITDA performance of Park City; (ii) the consistency with external market data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's discount rate and volatility assumptions.

**Notes to Consolidated 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, (collectively, "Resorts"):

![MAPUPDATE_20240510 (1).jpg](mtn-20250731_g2.jpg)

*\*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. Several of the resorts located in the United States ("U.S.") operate primarily on federal land under the terms of Special Use Permits granted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The operations of Whistler Blackcomb are conducted on land owned by the government of the Province of British Columbia, Canada within the traditional territory of the Squamish and Lil'wat Nations. The operations of the Company's Australian ski areas are conducted pursuant to long-term leases and licenses on land owned by the governments of New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. A portion of the operations of Andermatt-Sedrun are conducted on land owned by the Swiss Confederation, for which operations are conducted under leasehold agreements and pursuant to a personal easement on land owned by the municipality of Tujetsch. Portions of the Crans-Montana resort operations are conducted on land owned third parties, including local municipalities, via numerous registered easements, building rights (which may be subject to federal concessions), or other agreements. Okemo, Mount Sunapee and Stowe operate on land leased from the respective states in which the resorts are located and on land owned by the Company.

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 primarily 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.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Principles of Consolidation —* The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Investments in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents —* The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

*Accounts Receivable —* The Company records trade accounts receivable in the normal course of business related to the sale of products or services. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a specific reserve analysis and on a percentage of accounts receivable and takes into consideration such factors as historical write-offs, the economic climate and other factors that could affect collectability. Write-offs are evaluated on a case by case basis.

*Inventories —* The Company's inventories consist primarily of purchased retail goods, food and beverage items and spare parts. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using primarily an average weighted cost method. The Company records a reserve for estimated shrinkage and obsolete or unusable inventory.

*Property, Plant and Equipment —* Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that improve the functionality of the related asset or extend the useful life are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related gain or loss is included in income from operations. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method, including property, plant and equipment under finance leases, generally based on the following useful lives:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Estimated Life<br>in Years** |
| Land improvements | 15-20 |
| Buildings and building improvements | 5-30 |
| Machinery and equipment | 2-30 |
| Furniture and fixtures | 3-10 |
| Software | 3 |
| Vehicles | 3-5 |

---

*Real Estate Held for Sale or Investment —* The Company capitalizes as real estate held for sale or investment the original land acquisition cost, direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest paid and other related costs related to real estate under development. Sales and marketing expenses are charged against income in the period incurred.

*Deferred Financing Costs —* Certain costs incurred with the issuance of debt and debt securities are capitalized and included as a reduction in the net carrying value of long-term debt, net of accumulated amortization, with the exception of costs incurred related to line-of-credit arrangements, which are included in deferred charges and other assets, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization of such deferred financing costs are recorded to interest expense, net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations over the respective term of the applicable debt instruments. When debt is extinguished prior to its maturity date, the amortization of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, or pro-rata portion thereof, is charged to loss on extinguishment of debt.

*Goodwill and Intangible Assets —* The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of estimated fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired in purchase transactions. The Company's major intangible asset classes are trademarks, water rights, customer lists, property management contracts and Forest Service permits. Goodwill and various indefinite-lived intangible assets, including certain trademarks, water rights and certain property management contracts, are not amortized but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. The Company tests these non-amortizing assets annually (or more often, if

------

necessary) for impairment as of May 1. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual terms or estimated useful lives.

For the testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company may 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, which includes an evaluation as to whether there have been significant changes to macro-economic factors related to the reporting unit or intangible asset that could materially impact fair value. 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 carrying amount, or if significant changes to macro-economic factors related to the reporting unit or intangible asset have occurred that could materially impact estimated fair values since the previous quantitative analysis was performed, a quantitative impairment test would be required, in which the Company would determine the estimated fair value of its reporting units using discounted cash flow analyses and determine the estimated fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using an income approach. The quantitative test for impairment consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the assets with their respective net carrying values. If the net carrying amount of the assets exceed their respective estimated fair values, an impairment loss would be recognized for indefinite-lived intangibles, including goodwill, in an amount equal to that excess. If the net carrying amount of the assets does not exceed their respective estimated fair values, no impairment loss is recognized. The Company determined that there were no impairments of goodwill or definite and indefinite-lived assets for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*Long-Lived Assets —* The Company evaluates potential impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, is less than the net carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the net carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*Revenue Recognition —* The Company's significant accounting policies with regard to revenue recognition are discussed in Note 3, Revenues.

*Real Estate Cost of Sales —* Costs of real estate transactions include direct project costs, common cost allocations (primarily determined on relative sales value) and sales commission expense. The Company utilizes the relative sales value method to determine cost of sales for condominium units sold within a project when specific identification of costs cannot be reasonably determined.

*Foreign Currency Translation —* The functional currency of the Company's entities operating outside of the United States is the principal currency of the economic environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash, which is generally the local currency. The assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments from currency exchange, including intercompany transactions of a long-term nature, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Intercompany transactions that are not of a long-term nature are reported as gains and losses within "segment operating expense" and for intercompany loans within "foreign currency gain (loss) on intercompany loans" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Reserve Estimates —* The Company uses estimates to record reserves for certain liabilities, including medical claims, workers' compensation claims, third-party loss contingencies and property taxes, among other items. The Company estimates the probable costs related to these liabilities that will be incurred and records that amount as a liability in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, the Company records, as applicable, receivables related to insurance recoveries for loss contingencies if deemed probable of recovery. These estimates are reviewed and adjusted as the facts and circumstances change. The Company records legal costs related to defending claims as they are incurred.

*Advertising Costs —* Advertising costs are expensed at the time such advertising commences. Advertising expense for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $48.0 million, $49.8 million and $47.2 million, respectively, and was recorded within Mountain and Lodging operating expense on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

*Income Taxes —* Income tax expense includes U.S. (federal and state) and foreign income taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes is based on pre-tax income, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in estimates with regard to uncertain tax positions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and for operating loss and tax credit carrybacks or carryforwards. The change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the

------

period measures the deferred tax provision or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to the tax provision or benefit in the period of enactment. The Company's deferred tax assets have been reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent it is deemed to be more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained, on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the largest tax benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties accrued in connection with uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of income tax expense. See Note 10, Income Taxes, for more information.

*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 6, Long-Term Debt) are based on quoted market prices (a Level 2 input). The estimated fair value of the EPR Secured Notes and the NRP Loan (both as defined in Note 6, 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 July 31, 2025 are presented below (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **July 31, 2025** | **July 31, 2025** |
| | **Carrying Value** | **Estimated Fair Value** |
| 6.50% Notes | $600000 | $617448 |
| 5.625% Notes | $500000 | $503175 |
| 0.0% Convertible Notes | $525000 | $509906 |
| EPR Secured Notes | $141662 | $164051 |
| NRP Loan | $37109 | $30813 |

---

The carrying values for all other material 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.

*Stock-Based Compensation —* Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based upon the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the award generally using the straight-line method (see Note 14, Stock Compensation Plan, for more information). Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. The following table shows total net stock-based compensation expense for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended July 31,** | **Year Ended July 31,** | **Year Ended July 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Mountain stock-based compensation expense | $29632 | $23234 | $21242 |
| Lodging stock-based compensation expense | 4004 | 3349 | 3972 |
| Real Estate stock-based compensation expense | 326 | 220 | 195 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense | 33962 | 26803 | 25409 |
| Less: benefit from income taxes | 8034 | 6157 | 5951 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net stock-based compensation expense | $25928 | $20646 | $19458 |

---

*Concentration of Credit Risk —* The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company places its cash and cash investments in accounts with high-quality credit institutions. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts and notes receivables is limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets in which the Company conducts business, as well as their dispersion across many geographical areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral, but does require advance deposits on certain transactions.

*Accounting for Hedging Instruments —* From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with variable-rate borrowings by converting the floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate (the "Interest Rate Swaps"). The Company previously hedged the future cash flows associated with $400.0 million of the principal amount outstanding of its Vail Holdings Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 6, Long-Term Debt), which were designated as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swaps expired on September 23, 2024 and no interest rate swaps have been entered into

------

since that date. The accounting for changes in fair value of hedging instruments depends on the effectiveness of the hedge. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the underlying hedged item must expose the Company to risks associated with market fluctuations and the financial instrument used must reduce the Company's exposure to market fluctuation throughout the hedge period. Changes in estimated fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps are recorded within change in estimated fair value of hedging instruments, net of tax, on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and such changes were recorded as a (loss) gain of $(1.8) million, $(11.1) million and $3.7 million during the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amounts are reclassified into interest expense, net from other comprehensive income during the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. During the years ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, gains of $16.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively, were reclassified into interest expense, net from other comprehensive income. See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for more information.

*Leases —* The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there is one or more assets identified and the right to control the use of any identified asset is conveyed to the Company for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of an identified asset means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Generally, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if the terms of the agreement effectively transfer control of the underlying asset; otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. For contracts that contain lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for these components separately. The Company allocates consideration between lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone prices, which are estimated when observable prices are not readily available. For leases with terms greater than twelve months, the associated lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the estimated present value of future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate to discount the future minimum lease payments. For leases containing fixed rental escalation clauses, the escalators are factored into the determination of future minimum lease payments. The Company includes options to extend a lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 4, Leases, for more information.

*Use of Estimates —* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

*Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements —* During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company identified an immaterial error in its accounting for the EPR Secured Notes (as defined in Note 6, Long-Term Debt), which resulted in an understatement of non-cash interest expense, long-term debt due within one year and long-term debt, net 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 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 for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023. The revision of the Consolidated Financial Statements also includes the correction of other previously identified immaterial errors in its Consolidated Financial Statements 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, and the Company reached the same conclusion when aggregating with the errors identified during the year ended July 31, 2025. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and relevant footnotes in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been revised to correct for such errors. Further information regarding the errors and related revisions is included in Note 16, Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.

***Recently Issued Accounting Standards***

*Standards Being Evaluated*

In December 2023, the FASB issued 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), though early adoption is permitted. 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 Consolidated Condensed 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 Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, including determining the timing of adoption.

*Recently Adopted Standards*

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires Company's 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.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues**

*Revenue Recognition*

The following provides information about the Company's composition of revenue recognized from contracts with customers and other revenues, the performance obligations under those contracts, and the significant judgments made in accounting for those contracts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mountain revenue is derived from a wide variety of sources, including, among other things: lift revenue, which includes sales of lift tickets and pass products; ski school revenue, which includes the revenue derived from ski school operations; dining revenue, which includes both casual and fine dining on-mountain operations; retail sales and equipment rentals; and other on-mountain revenue, which includes private ski club revenue (which includes both club dues and amortization of initiation fees), marketing revenue, municipal services and lodging and transportation operations at the Company's Australian ski areas. The Company also includes other sources of revenue, primarily related to commercial leasing and employee housing leasing arrangements, within other mountain revenue. Revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied as control of the good or service (e.g. access to ski areas, provision of ski school services, etc.) is transferred to the customer, except for the Company's retail sales and dining operations revenues which are recognized at a point in time when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the underlying goods to the customer. The Company records deferred revenue primarily related to the sale of pass products. Deferred revenue is generally recognized throughout the ski season as the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as control of the service (e.g. access to ski areas throughout the ski season) is transferred to the customer. The Company estimates progress towards satisfaction of its performance obligations using an output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the service to its customers, which is based on the number of skiable days in the ski season relative to the estimated total skiable days in the ski season, and which effectively results in revenue being recorded on a straight-line basis throughout the ski season. Total estimated skiable days is based on actual resort opening and estimated closing dates. The Company believes this method best estimates the value transferred to the customer relative to the remaining services promised under the contract.

Epic Coverage is included with the purchase of all pass products for no additional charge, and offers refunds if certain personal or resort closure events occur before or during the ski season. The estimated amount of refunds reduce the amount of pass product revenue recognized by the Company, and is remeasured at each reporting date.

Epic Mountain Rewards provides pass product holders a discount on ancillary purchases at the Company's North American owned and operated Resorts. Epic Mountain Rewards constitutes an option to purchase additional products and services at a discount, and as a result, the Company allocates a portion of the pass product transaction price to these other lines of business which is recorded as revenue as discounts occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lodging revenue is derived from a wide variety of sources, including, among other things: revenue from owned hotel rooms and managed hotel rooms; revenue from hotel dining operations; transportation revenue which relates to the Company's Colorado resort ground transportation operations; and other lodging revenue which includes property management services, managed properties other costs reimbursements, private golf club revenue (which includes both

------

club dues and amortization of initiation fees) and golf course fees. Lodging revenue also includes managed hotel property payroll cost reimbursements related to payroll costs at managed properties where the Company is the employer, which are reimbursed by the owner with no added margin. Therefore, these revenues and corresponding expenses have no net effect on the Company's operating income or net income. Other than revenue from dining operations, lodging revenue is mostly recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied as control of the service (e.g. nightly hotel room access) is transferred to the customer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Real estate revenue primarily relates to the sale of development land parcels. Real estate revenue is generally recognized at a point in time when performance obligations have been satisfied, which is usually upon closing of the sales transaction and in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled.

For certain contracts that have an original term length of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money. For contracts with an expected term in excess of one year, the Company has considered whether such contracts may contain a financing component. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are generally excluded from revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Disaggregation of Revenues*

The following table presents net revenues disaggregated by segment and major revenue type for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

---

*Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations*

Several of the Company's contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations, primarily related to bundled services such as ski school packages, lodging packages and events (e.g. weddings and conferences). For such contracts, revenue is allocated to each distinct and separate performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling prices are generally based on observable prices charged to customers or estimated based on historical experience and information.

*Contract Balances*

Contract liabilities are recorded primarily as deferred revenues when payments are received or due in advance of the Company's performance, including amounts which may be refundable. The deferred revenue balance is primarily related to

------

accounts receivable or cash payments recorded in advance of satisfying the Company's performance obligations related to sales of pass products prior to the start of the ski season, private club initiation fees and other related advance purchase products, including advance purchase lift tickets, multiple-day lift tickets, ski school lessons, equipment rentals and lodging advance deposits. Due to the seasonality of the Company's operations, its largest deferred revenue balances occur during the North American pass product selling window, which generally begins in the third quarter of its fiscal year. Deferred revenue balances of a short-term nature were $602.1 million and $575.8 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $550.0 million of net revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of July 31, 2024. Deferred revenue balances of a long-term nature, comprised primarily of long-term private club initiation fee revenue, were $99.4 million and $104.9 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of July 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.

Contract assets are recorded as trade receivables when the right to consideration is unconditional. Payments from customers are based on billing terms established in the contracts with customers, which vary by the type of customer, the location and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, contracts require payment before the products are delivered or services are provided to the customer. Impairment losses related to contract assets are recognized through the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts analysis. Contract asset write-offs are evaluated on an individual basis.

*Costs to Obtain Contracts with Customers*

The Company expects that credit card fees and sales commissions paid in order to obtain season ski pass products contracts are recoverable. Accordingly, the Company records these amounts as assets when they are paid prior to the start of the ski season.

As of July 31, 2025, $6.6 million of costs to obtain contracts with customers were recorded within other current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred credit card fees and sales commissions are amortized commensurate with the recognition of pass product revenue. The Company recorded amortization of $28.7 million, $28.6 million and $25.2 million for these costs during the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were recorded within Mountain and Lodging operating expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company has elected to expense credit card fees and sales commissions related to non-pass products and services as incurred, as the amortization period is generally one year or less for the time between customer purchase and utilization. These fees are recorded within Mountain and Lodging operating expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leases**

The Company's operating leases consist primarily of resort land and land improvements, commercial and retail space, office space, employee residential units, vehicles and other equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception or modification. The Company's lease contracts generally range from 1 year to approximately 70 years, with some lease contracts containing one or more lease extension options, exercisable at the Company's discretion. The Company generally does not include these lease extension options in the initial lease term as it is not reasonably certain that it will exercise such options at contract inception. In addition, certain lease arrangements contain fixed and variable lease payments. The variable lease payments are primarily contingent rental payments based on: (i) a percentage of revenue related to the leased property; (ii) payments based on a percentage of sales over contractual levels; or (iii) lease payments adjusted for changes in an index or market value. These variable lease payments are typically recognized when the underlying event occurs and are included in operating expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line item as the expense arising from the respective fixed lease payments. The Company's lease agreements may also include non-lease components, such as common area maintenance and insurance, which are accounted for separately. Future lease payments that are contingent or represent non-lease components are not included in the measurement of the operating lease liability. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Lease expense related to lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. As a result, the Company measures the lease liability using an estimated incremental borrowing rate which is intended to reflect the rate of interest the Company would pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The Company applies the estimated incremental borrowing rates at a portfolio level based on the economic environment associated with the lease.

The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance to determine recognition and measurement of an ROU asset impairment, if any. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment.

The current portion of operating lease liabilities of approximately $34.9 million and $32.6 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is recorded within accounts payables and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease liabilities are recorded within long-term debt, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of finance lease liabilities is presented within long-term debt due within one year in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Canyons finance lease obligation was $374.9 million and $369.1 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represents the estimated annual fixed lease payments for the remaining period of the initial 50 year term of the lease assuming annual increases at the floor of 2% and discounted using an interest rate of 10%. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company has recorded $74.3 million and $81.9 million of net finance lease ROU assets in connection with the Canyons lease, net of $108.9 million and $101.7 million of accumulated amortization, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Whistler Blackcomb employee housing finance lease obligation was $27.4 million and $27.9 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represents the minimum lease payments for the remaining period of the initial 20 year term of the lease, net of amounts representing interest, discounted using an interest rate of 6.95%. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company has recorded $24.2 million and $25.7 million of net finance lease ROU assets in connection with these leases, net of $3.8 million and $2.5 million of accumulated amortization, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company reassessed its lease agreements for the operations of Northstar Resort ("Northstar"), for which the initial lease terms expire in January 2027 and the agreements provide for three 10-year optional lease extensions. Prior to the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company had not determined that it was reasonably certain to exercise any of the optional lease extensions for Northstar and, accordingly, only the initial lease terms were considered in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. During the year ended July 31, 2024, due to near-term operating decisions which would be influenced by the decision to extend the lease, the Company reassessed the lease extensions and determined that it was reasonably certain that it will exercise the first of its 10-year optional lease extensions at Northstar, and as a result, the Company recorded incremental operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $75.7 million each. Additionally, the Company recorded finance lease ROU assets of $13.1 million and finance lease obligations of $12.8 million as of July 31, 2024, which represent the minimum lease payments for the remaining 13 year reassessed term of the lease, net of amounts representing interest, related to assets for which the Company determined that the remaining reassessed lease term represented a major part of the remaining economic life of such assets. As of the remeasurement date for the Northstar leases, the ROU assets and liabilities were discounted using an interest rate of 6.6%. The Northstar Resort finance lease obligation was $12.1 million as of July 31, 2025, which represents the minimum lease payments for the remaining 13 year reassessed term of the lease, net of amounts representing interest, discounted using an interest rate of 6.6%. As of July 31, 2025, the Company has recorded $12.0 million of net finance lease ROU assets in connection with these leases, net of $1.1 million of accumulated amortization, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Income per Common Share**

*Earnings per Share*

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income 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 years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total shares | 37155 | 37204 | 37868 | 37957 | 39654 | 39760 |
| Net income per share attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. | $7.54 | $7.53 | $6.10 | $6.09 | $6.70 | $6.69 |

---

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 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive totaled approximately 13,000, 12,000 and 22,000 for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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 6, 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 required to settle the remaining principal amount of the 0.0% Convertible Notes in cash and has the option to settle the conversion spread in cash or shares. 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 years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the price of Vail Shares did not exceed the conversion price and therefore there was no impact to diluted EPS during those periods.

*Dividends*

During the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 the Company paid cash dividends of $8.88 per share, $8.56 per share, and $7.94 per share, respectively ($328.2 million, $323.7 million, and $314.4 million respectively). On September 26, 2025, the Company's Board approved a cash dividend of $2.22 per share payable on October 27, 2025 to stockholders of record as of October 9, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)On April 24, 2024, Vail Holdings, Inc. ("VHI"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders entered into the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Vail Holdings Credit Agreement"). The Vail Holdings Credit Agreement matures on April 24, 2029 and consists of a revolving credit facility, which was undrawn as of July 31, 2025, and a term loan facility, which had an outstanding balance of $910.5 million as of July 31, 2025. The term loan facility is subject to quarterly amortization of principal of approximately $12.3 million, in equal installments, for a total of 5% principal payable in each year and the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest due is upon maturity in April 2029. VHI's obligations under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and are collateralized by a pledge of all the capital stock of VHI and substantially all of its subsidiaries (with certain additional exceptions for the pledge of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, VHI has the ability to increase availability (under the revolver or in the form of term loans) to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $2.75 billion and (ii) the product of 3.5 and the trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement. 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 facility, bear interest annually at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread of 1.60% as of July 31, 2025 (5.96% as of July 31, 2025). Interest rate margins may fluctuate based upon the ratio of the Company's Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing four-quarter basis. The Vail Holdings Credit Agreement provides for affirmative and negative covenants that restrict, among other things, the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, dispose of assets, make distributions and make investments. 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 (0.30% as of July 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 provided 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 July 31, 2025, are available to be used to refinance the Company's 0.0% Convertible Notes, as discussed further below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)On May 8, 2024, the Company completed an offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior notes due 2032 at par, and the net proceeds were used to fund the redemption of $600.0 million of outstanding 6.25% Notes due 2025 at par. The 6.50% Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The Company will pay interest on the 6.50% Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year commencing on November 15, 2024, and the 6.50% Notes will mature on May 15, 2032. The 6.50% Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2027 at the redemption prices specified in a 2024 Indenture dated as of May 8, 2024 (the "2024 Indenture") plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to May 15, 2027, the Company may redeem some or all of the 6.50% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a "make-whole" premium as specified in the 2024 Indenture. In addition, prior to May 15, 2027, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.50% Notes with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price of 106.50% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The 6.50% Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors (as defined in the 2024 Indenture).

The 2024 Indenture requires that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the 2024 Indenture), the Company shall offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 6.50% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company or certain of its subsidiaries dispose of assets, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to either invest the net cash proceeds from such assets sales in its business within a specified period of time, repay certain senior secured debt or debt of its non-guarantor subsidiaries, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the 6.50% Notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2024 Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and the guarantors to incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or engage in Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in the 2024 Indenture). The 2024 Indenture does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the covenants will not apply to the 6.50% Notes so long as the 6.50% Notes have investment grade ratings from two specified rating agencies and no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the 2024 Indenture. The 2024 Indenture includes customary events of default, including failure to make payment, failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the 2024 Indenture, certain defaults on certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, and invalidity of the guarantees of the 6.50% Notes issued pursuant to the 2024 Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)On July 2, 2025, the Company completed an offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2030 at par, in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 5.625% Notes were issued under an indenture dated July 2, 2025 (the "5.625% Indenture") between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee. The 5.625% Notes are senior unsecured obligation of the Company and are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The Company will pay interest on the 5.625% Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 2026, and the 5.625% Notes will mature on July 15, 2030. The 5.625% Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2027 at the redemption prices specified in the 2025 Indenture dated as of July 2, 2025 (the "2025 Indenture") plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to July 15, 2027, the Company may redeem some or all of the 5.625% Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a "make-whole" premium as specified in the 2025 Indenture. In addition, prior to July 15, 2027, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% Notes with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The 5.625% Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the

------

Company and rank equally in right of payment with existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors (as defined in the 2025 Indenture).

The 2025 Indenture requires that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the 2025 Indenture), the Company shall offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5.625% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company or certain of its subsidiaries dispose of assets, under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to either invest the net cash proceeds from such assets sales in its business within a specified period of time, repay certain senior secured debt or debt of its non-guarantor subsidiaries, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the 5.625% Notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2025 Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and the guarantors to incur liens on assets; merge or consolidate with another company or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or engage in Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in the 2025 Indenture). The 2025 Indenture does not contain any financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the covenants will not apply to the 5.625% Notes so long as the 5.625% Notes have investment grade ratings from two specified rating agencies and no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the 2025 Indenture. The 2025 Indenture includes customary events of default, including failure to make payment, failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the 2025 Indenture, certain defaults on certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, and invalidity of the guarantees of the 5.625% Notes issued pursuant to the 2025 Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)On December 18, 2020, the Company completed an offering of $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.0% Convertible Notes due 2026 in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "0.0% Convertible Notes"). The 0.0% Convertible Notes were issued under an indenture dated December 18, 2020 (the "Convertible Indenture") between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. The 0.0% Convertible Notes do not bear regular interest and the principal amount does not accrete. The 0.0% Convertible Notes mature on January 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

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 during the year ended July 31, 2025. Following the repurchases, approximately $525.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 0.0% Convertible Notes remain outstanding, which is reflected within long-term debt due within one year as of July 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, as discussed further above, are undrawn as of July 31, 2025, and are available to be used to refinance the Company's 0.0% Convertible Notes.

The 0.0% Convertible Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 0.0% Convertible Notes rank senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated, equal in right of payment with the Company's existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, and are subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The 0.0% Convertible Notes will also be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities and obligations of the Company's subsidiaries, including such subsidiaries' guarantees of the 6.50% Notes.

The initial conversion rate was 2.4560 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $407.17 per share, and is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as described in the Convertible Indenture, including the payment of cash dividends. As of July 31, 2025, the conversion rate of the 0.0% Convertible Notes, adjusted for cash dividends paid since the issuance date, was 2.8527 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (the "Conversion Rate"), which represents a conversion price of $350.54 per share (the "Conversion Price"). The principal amount of the 0.0% Convertible Notes is required to be settled in cash. The Company will settle the in the money component of conversions by paying cash, delivering shares of its common stock, or a combination of the two, at its option.

Holders may convert their notes, at their option, only under the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021 if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the "Measurement Period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the Conversion Rate on such trading day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in the Convertible Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the Company calls the 0.0% Convertible Notes for redemption; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at any time from, and including, July 1, 2025 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

The 0.0% Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after January 1, 2024 and on or before the 25th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price for a specified period of time. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the 0.0% Convertible Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. Calling any 0.0% Convertible Notes for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to such notes, in which case the Conversion Rate applicable to the conversion of such notes will be increased in certain circumstances if such notes are converted after they are called for redemption.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Indenture), holders of the 0.0% Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid special and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. If certain fundamental changes referred to as make-whole fundamental changes (as defined in the Convertible Indenture) occur, the Conversion Rate for the 0.0% Convertible Notes may be increased for a specified period of time.

The Convertible Indenture includes customary events of default, including failure to make payment, failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the Convertible Indenture, certain defaults on certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. The Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Convertible Indenture will consist exclusively of the right of the holders of the 0.0% Convertible Notes to receive additional interest on the notes for up to 360 days following such failure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)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 which was originally dated as of November 12, 2013, by and among Whistler LP, Blackcomb LP, certain subsidiaries of Whistler LP and Blackcomb LP party thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD"), as administrative agent. On April 14, 2023, the WB Partnerships along with other parties to the original agreement entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Whistler Credit Agreement"). The amended Whistler Credit Agreement (i) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to April 14, 2028; (ii) contained customary LIBOR replacement language for the use of rates based on SOFR with regard to borrowings under the facility made in U.S. dollars; and (iii) contained customary forward-looking transition language for the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") with regard to borrowings under the facility made in Canadian dollars, including, but not limited to, the use of rates based on the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA"), which is a measure of the cost of overnight general collateral funding using Government of Canada treasury bills and bonds as collateral for repurchase transactions, and for which such transition occurred in June 2024. On June 27, 2024, TD issued a notice of benchmark replacement and the implementation of benchmark replacement confirming changes. This notice established the CDOR replacement as the Adjusted Term CORRA, which is the sum of (i) Term CORRA and (ii) 0.29547% for an available tenor of one-month's duration, and 0.32138% for an available tenor of three months' duration, provided that, if the Adjusted Term CORRA as so determined shall ever be less than a floor of 0.00%, then the Adjusted Term CORRA shall be deemed to be 0.00%. No other significant terms of the agreement were amended. As of July 31, 2025, consisting of a C$300.0 million credit facility, under which there were no borrowings. 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. The Whistler Credit Agreement also includes a quarterly unused commitment fee based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which as of July 31, 2025 is equal to 0.39% per annum. The Whistler Credit Agreement provides for affirmative and negative covenants that restrict, among other things, the WB Partnerships' ability to incur indebtedness and liens, dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, make

------

distributions and make investments. In addition, the Whistler Credit Agreement includes the restrictive financial covenants (leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios) customary for facilities of this type.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 July 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 12.07%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 July 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 11.58%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 July 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 11.58%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 July 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 12.69%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 July 31, 2025, interest on this note accrued at a rate of 9.35%.

The EPR Secured Notes are secured by all or substantially all of the assets of Peak Resorts and its subsidiaries, including mortgages on the Alpine Valley, Boston Mills, Brandywine, Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Mount Snow and Hunter Mountain ski resorts. The EPR Secured Notes bear interest at specified interest rates, as discussed above, which are subject to increase each year by the lesser of (i) three times the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or (ii) a capped index (the "Capped CPI Index"), which is 1.75% for the Hunter Mountain Secured Note and 1.50% for all other notes. The EPR Agreements provide for affirmative and negative covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of Peak Resorts and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, dispose of assets, make distributions and make investments. In addition, the EPR Agreements include restrictive covenants, including maximum leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge ratio. An additional contingent interest payment would be due to EPR if, on a calendar year basis, the gross receipts from the properties securing any of the individual EPR Secured Notes (the "Gross Receipts") are more than the result (the "Interest Quotient") of dividing the total interest charges for the EPR Secured Notes by a specified percentage rate (the "Additional Interest Rate"). In such a case, the additional interest payment would equal the difference between the Gross Receipts and the Interest Quotient multiplied by the Additional Interest Rate. This calculation is made on an aggregated basis for the notes secured by the Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Boston Mills, Brandywine and Alpine Valley ski resorts, where the Additional Interest Rate is 10.0%; on a standalone basis for the note secured by the Company's Mount Snow ski resort, where the Additional Interest Rate is 12.0%; and on a standalone basis for the note secured by the Company's Hunter Mountain ski resort, where the Additional Interest Rate is 8.0%. Peak Resorts does not have the right to prepay the EPR Secured Notes. The EPR Secured Notes were recorded at their estimated fair value in conjunction with the acquisition of Peak Resorts on September 24, 2019. The EPR Agreements grant EPR certain other rights including the option to purchase the Boston Mills, Brandywine, Jack Frost, Big Boulder or Alpine Valley resorts, which is exercisable no sooner than two years and no later than one year prior to the maturity dates of the applicable EPR Secured Note for such properties, with any closings to be held on the applicable maturity dates; and, if EPR exercises the purchase option, EPR will enter into an agreement with the Company for the lease of each acquired property for an initial term of 20 years, plus options to extend the lease for two additional periods of ten years each.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)The Company has recorded the outstanding debt of four Employee Housing Entities (each an "Employee Housing Entity" and collectively the "Employee Housing Entities"): Breckenridge Terrace, Tarnes, BC Housing and Tenderfoot. The proceeds of the Employee Housing Bonds were used to develop apartment complexes designated primarily for use by the Company's seasonal employees at its Colorado mountain resorts. The Employee Housing Bonds are variable rate, interest-only instruments with interest rates tied to SOFR plus 0% to 0.20% (4.36% to 4.56% as of July 31, 2025).

------

Interest on the Employee Housing Bonds is paid monthly in arrears and the interest rate is adjusted weekly. No principal payments are due on the Employee Housing Bonds until maturity. Each Employee Housing Entity's bonds were issued in two series. The bonds for each Employee Housing Entity are backed by letters of credit issued under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement. The table below presents the principal amounts outstanding for the Employee Housing Bonds as of July 31, 2025 (in thousands):&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)On May 24, 2013, VR CPC Holdings, Inc. ("VR CPC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a transaction agreement with affiliate companies of Talisker Corporation ("Talisker") pursuant to which the parties entered into a master lease agreement (the "Park City Lease") and certain ancillary transaction documents on May 29, 2013 related to the former stand-alone Canyons Resort ("Canyons"), pursuant to which the Company assumed the resort operations of the Canyons. The Park City Lease between VR CPC and Talisker has an initial term of 50 years with six 50-year renewal options. The Park City Lease provides for $25 million in annual payments, which increase each year by an inflation-linked index of CPI less 1% per annum, with a floor of 2%. Vail Resorts has guaranteed the payments under the Park City Lease. The obligation at July 31, 2025 represents future lease payments for the remaining initial lease term of 50 years (including annual increases at the floor of 2%) discounted using an interest rate of 10%, and includes accumulated accreted interest expense of approximately $69.5 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)On August 3, 2022 in conjunction with the acquisition of Andermatt-Sedrun (see Note 7, Acquisitions), the Company assumed the New Regional Policy loan between Andermatt-Sedrun and the Canton of Uri and Canton of Graubünden dated June 24, 2016 (the "NRP Loan"), with an initial principal balance of CHF 40.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the NRP Loan bear interest at 0.63% per annum until the maturity date, which is September 30, 2036, with semi-annual required payments of principal amortization and accrued interest. In addition, the NRP Loan agreement includes restrictive covenants requiring certain minimum financial results (as defined in the agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)During the year ended July 31, 2023, the Company entered into new finance lease agreements for employee housing units at Whistler Blackcomb. The leases have a term of 20 years with no renewal options. The obligation at July 31, 2025 represents future lease payments for the remaining period of the initial 20 year term of the lease (including annual increases at the floor of 3%) discounted using an interest rate of 6.95%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)During the year ended July 31, 2019, the Company completed two real estate sales transactions that were accounted for as financing arrangements as a result of the Company's continuing involvement with the underlying assets that were sold. The Company received approximately $17.3 million of proceeds for these sales transactions through the year ended July 31, 2025, which are reflected within long-term debt, net.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)In connection with the various business combinations, the Company estimated the acquisition date fair values of certain debt instruments assumed, and recorded any difference between such estimated fair values and the par value of debt instruments as unamortized premiums and discounts, as appropriate, which are amortized and recorded to interest expense, net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations over the respective term of the applicable debt instruments. Additionally, certain costs incurred with regard to the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and included as a reduction in the net carrying value of long-term debt, net of accumulated amortization, with the exception of costs incurred related to line-of-credit arrangements, which are included in deferred charges and other assets, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization of such deferred financing costs are recorded to interest expense, net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations over the respective term of the applicable debt instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)Current maturities represent principal payments due in the next 12 months.

The Company recorded interest expense of $171.6 million, $164.6 million and $155.4 million for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which $6.2 million, $6.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, was amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial and operating covenants required to be maintained under its debt instruments for all periods presented.

In connection with the acquisition of Whistler Blackcomb, VHI funded a portion of the purchase price through an intercompany loan to Whistler Blackcomb, which was effective as of November 1, 2016 and requires foreign currency remeasurement to Canadian dollars, the functional currency for Whistler Blackcomb. As a result, foreign currency fluctuations associated with the loan are recorded within the Company's results of operations. The Company recognized approximately $0.0 million, $(4.1) million and $(2.9) million of non-cash foreign currency gain (loss) on the intercompany loan to Whistler Blackcomb during the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year ended July 31, 2025, Whistler Blackcomb repaid $25.7 million of the outstanding principal on the intercompany loan and as of July 31, 2025, the remaining balance of the intercompany loan was $6.4 million.

**7. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisitions**

*Crans-Montana Mountain Resort*

On May 2, 2024, the Company acquired Crans-Montana in Switzerland from CPI Property Group ("CPIPG"). The Company acquired (i) an approximate 84% ownership stake in Romontées Mécaniques Crans Montana Aminona SA ("CMA"), which controls and operates all of the lifts and supporting mountain operations, including four retail and rental locations; (ii) 100% ownership of SportLife AG, which operates one of the ski schools located at the resort; and (iii) 100% ownership of 11 restaurants located on and around the mountain. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. As of May 2, 2024 the total fair value of the consideration paid was $107.2 million (CHF 97.5 million).

Portions of the Crans-Montana resort operations are conducted on land owned by third parties via numerous registered easements, building rights (which may be subject to federal concessions), or other agreements. The municipality of Crans-Montana, the municipality of Lens and CPIPG collectively retained in total an approximate 16% ownership stake in CMA. The Company entered into a shareholders' agreement with the municipalities of Crans-Montana and Lens (the "Crans Agreement") for an initial fixed term until December 31, 2035. Thereafter, the Crans Agreement shall continue to be in effect for successive renewal periods of ten years unless terminated by either the Company or the municipalities acting jointly. The Crans Agreement provides for various terms and conditions in relation to the election and governance of the board of directors, company policies, dividends, financial aspects and related matters. The noncontrolling shares may be traded without restriction.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net assets acquired | $121239 |

---

Identifiable intangible assets acquired in the transaction were primarily related to a trade name. The process of estimating the fair value of the property, plant, and equipment includes the use of certain estimates and assumptions related to replacement cost and physical condition at the time of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies, the assembled workforce of the resort and other factors, and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes under Swiss tax law. The operating results of Crans-Montana are reported within the Mountain segment prospectively from the date of acquisition.

*Andermatt-Sedrun*

On August 3, 2022, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company acquired a 55% controlling interest in Andermatt-Sedrun from Andermatt Swiss Alps AG ("ASA"). The consideration paid consisted of an investment of $114.4 million (CHF 110.0 million) into Andermatt-Sedrun for use in capital investments to enhance the guest experience on mountain (which was prepaid to fund the acquisition and was recorded in other current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2022) and $41.3 million (CHF 39.3 million) paid to ASA (which was paid on August 3, 2022, commensurate with closing). As of August 3, 2022 the total fair value of the consideration paid was $155.4 million (CHF 149.3 million).

Andermatt-Sedrun operates mountain and ski-related assets, including lifts, most of the restaurants and a ski school operation at the ski area. Ski operations are conducted on land owned by ASA as freehold or leasehold properties, land owned by Usern Corporation, land owned by the municipality of Tujetsch and land owned by private property owners. ASA retained a 40% ownership stake, with a group of existing shareholders comprising the remaining 5% ownership stake. ASA and the other noncontrolling economic interests contain certain protective rights pursuant to a shareholder agreement (the "Andermatt Agreement") and no ability to participate in the day-to-day operations of Andermatt-Sedrun. The Andermatt Agreement provides that no dividend distributions be made by Andermatt-Sedrun until the end of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026, after which time there shall be annual distributions of 50% of the available cash (as defined in the Andermatt Agreement) for the most recently completed fiscal year. In addition, the distribution rights are non-transferable and transfer of the noncontrolling interests are limited.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

The Company utilizes FASB-issued fair value guidance that establishes how reporting entities should measure fair value for measurement and disclosure purposes. The guidance establishes a common definition of fair value applicable to all assets and liabilities measured at fair value and prioritizes the inputs into valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Accordingly, 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, other current assets, Interest Rate Swaps 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, other current assets and interest rate swaps are measured utilizing quoted market prices or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are either observable or corroborated by observable market data. The interest rate swaps expired on September 23, 2024 and therefore had no estimated fair value as of July 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps was included within other current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2024.

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 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 payments 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 net 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 and thus are considered Level 3 inputs.

------

During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company observed a continued trend of improved performance at the resort relative to expectations, which were based on an average of historical results that the Company calculated in the prior year. Accordingly, the Company performed a reassessment of its long-term EBITDA assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the liability by updating the average of historical results used to estimate future year EBITDA performance. As a result, the Company recorded an increase in the liability of approximately $48.0 million which was primarily related to an increase in expected long-term EBITDA performance for Park City as well as the expected payment to be made in October 2024 for the resort's performance for the year ending July 31, 2024. Future period EBITDA performance for Park City may differ significantly from these estimates, which could have a material impact on the estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration liability.

The Company prepared a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the effect that changes on certain key assumptions would have on the estimated 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 estimated fair value within the range of approximately $13.6 million to $18.5 million.

During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company made a payment to the landlord for Contingent Consideration of approximately $20.3 million and recorded an increase in the liability of approximately $9.4 million, primarily related to the estimated Contingent Consideration payment for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2025, 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 $93.3 million, which is reflected in accounts payable and other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2025.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

The Company is subject to taxation in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions and various non-U.S. jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The Company's effective tax rate is impacted by the tax laws, regulations, practices and interpretations in the jurisdictions in which it operates and may fluctuate significantly from period to period depending on, among other things, the geographic mix of the Company's profits and losses, changes in tax laws and regulations or their application and interpretation, the outcome of tax audits and changes in valuation allowances associated with the Company's deferred tax assets.

As of July 31, 2025, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions relate to the treatment of the Talisker lease payments as payments of debt obligations and that the tax basis in Canyons goodwill is deductible, and are included within other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of July 31, 2025, the Company had recorded $50.3 million of uncertain tax positions as well as $6.5 million of accrued interest and penalties. During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company experienced a reduction in the uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of the statute of limitations of $11.4 million, which was partially offset with an increase to the uncertain tax position of $10.7 million. The Company also had additional net interest expense of $0.4 million from a net increase in accrued interest and penalties during the year ended July 31, 2025. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. Additionally, the Company expects a reduction to its uncertain tax positions for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026, due to the lapse of the statute of limitations.

The Company's major tax jurisdictions in which it files income tax returns are the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, Australia, Canada and Switzerland. The Company's U.S. federal and state income tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the tax years 2020 through the current period. The Company's Australian and Canadian income tax returns are generally subject to examination for the tax years 2019 through the current period, and Swiss income tax returns are generally subject to examination for the tax years 2019 through the current period. Additionally, to the extent the Company has NOLs that have been carried back or are available for carryforward, the tax years to which the NOL was carried back or in which the NOL was generated may still be adjusted by the taxing authorities to the extent the NOLs are utilized.

The Company has NOL carryforwards totaling $124.4 million, primarily comprised of $18.8 million of federal and state NOLs that will expire beginning July 31, 2034 and non-U.S. NOLs of $105.6 million (for which a portion will begin expiring July 31, 2025). In connection with Peak Resorts' initial public offering in November 2014, as well as the Company's acquisition of Peak Resorts in September 2019, Peak Resorts had two ownership changes pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. As a result, the Company's usage of its eligible Federal NOL carryforwards will be limited each year by these ownership changes; however, management believes the full benefit of those carryforwards will be realized prior to their respective expiration dates. As of July 31, 2025, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $9.2 million on non-U.S. NOL carryforwards, as the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the associated NOL carryforwards will not be realized. The Company has also recorded a valuation allowance of $4.0 million on foreign tax credit carryforwards, as the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that these foreign tax credit carryforwards will not be realized.

------

The Company may be required to record additional valuation allowances if, among other things, adverse economic conditions negatively impact the Company's ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Evaluating and estimating the Company's tax provision, current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and other tax accruals requires significant management judgment. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings, if any, in its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical at this time to determine the income tax liability related to any remaining undistributed earnings.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA maintains the 21% corporate tax rate and makes permanent many of the provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which had expired or were expiring. These provisions include more favorable interest deductibility and the permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation on capital expenditures. The impacts of OBBBA are not anticipated to be material based on current operations, however the Company will continue to evaluate any future impacts to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commitments and Contingencies**

<u>Guarantees/Indemnifications</u>

As of July 31, 2025, the Company had various letters of credit outstanding totaling $95.8 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 $36.0 million primarily for workers' compensation, a wind energy purchase agreement and insurance-related deductibles, as well as other standby letters of credit. The Company also had surety bonds of $11.2 million as of July 31, 2025, primarily to provide collateral for its U.S. workers compensation self-insurance programs.

In addition to the guarantees noted above, the Company has 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 Financial Statements, either because the Company has recorded on its Consolidated 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 calculated the estimated 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 particular 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.

<u>Commitments</u>

------

The Company has executed or assumed as lessee other operating leases for the rental of office and commercial space, employee residential units and land primarily through fiscal 2095. Certain of these leases have renewal terms at the Company's option, escalation clauses, rent holidays and leasehold improvement incentives. Rent holidays and rent escalation clauses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leasehold improvement incentives are recorded as leasehold improvements and amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the term of the lease. For the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded lease expense (including for the lease obligations discussed above), excluding executory costs, related to these agreements of $74.9 million, $71.7 million and $71.3 million, respectively, which is included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4, Leases, for additional information regarding the Company's leasing arrangements.

<u>Self-Insurance</u>

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 8, Supplementary Balance Sheet Information).

------

<u>Legal</u>

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 reasonably estimable losses. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, the accruals for such loss contingencies were not material individually or in the aggregate.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment and Geographic Area Information**

<u>Segment Information</u>

The Company has three 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> The only individual international country (i.e. except the U.S.) to account for more than 10% of the Company's net revenue was Canada. Canada accounted for $335.3 million, $326.2 million and $321.7 million of net revenue for the year ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup> The only individual international country to account for more than 10% of the Company's long-lived assets was Canada. Canada accounted for $1,350.7 million and $1,372.7 million of long-lived assets as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Share Repurchase Program**

On March 9, 2006, the Company's Board 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 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. During the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 1,690,503, 721,378 and 2,182,594 Vail Shares, respectively (at a total cost of $270.0 million, $150.0 million and $500.0 million, respectively, excluding accrued excise tax, as discussed further below). Since inception of this stock repurchase program through July 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 11,060,183 shares at a cost of approximately $1,399.4 million. As of July 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 issuance under the Company's employee share award plan.

On August 16, 2022 the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which imposed a 1.0% excise tax on share repurchases (net of estimated share issuances) made after December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company accrued approximately $2.6 million and $1.4 million of excise tax in connection with the share repurchases it completed during the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of repurchased shares in treasury stock and accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2025 and 2024.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Compensation Plan**

On December 5, 2024 (the "Effective Date"), the stockholders of the Company approved the Vail Resorts, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.25. A description of the material terms of the 2024 Plan was included in the Company's definitive proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2024. The 2024 Plan superseded the Company's previously approved incentive plans, including the Company's 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2015 Plan") and Amended and Restated 2002 Long-Term Incentive and Share Award Plan ("2002 Plan"). As of the Effective Date, no awards shall be granted under the 2015 Plan or 2002 Plan. The number of shares, if any, that are subject to Awards issued under the 2015 Plan or 2002 Plan that are forfeited, canceled, terminated, or surrendered on or after the Effective Date shall be extinguished and unavailable for Awards under the 2024 Plan, the 2015 Plan, or 2002 Plan.

------

Under the 2024 Plan, up to 1.5 million shares of common stock could be issued in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance share units, dividend equivalents or other share-based awards to employees, directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The terms of awards granted under the Plan, including exercise price, vesting period and life, are set by the Compensation Committee of the Board. All share-based awards (except for restricted shares and restricted share units) granted under the Plan have a life of ten years. Most awards vest ratably over three years; however, some have been granted with different vesting schedules. Of the awards outstanding, none have been granted to non-employees (except those granted to non-employee members of the Board of the Company) under the Plan. At July 31, 2025, approximately 1.5 million share-based awards were available to be granted under the Plan.

The fair value of stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SARs") granted in the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model that applies the assumptions noted in the table below. A lattice-based model considers factors such as exercise behavior, and assumes employees will exercise equity awards at different times over the contractual life of the equity awards. As a lattice-based model considers these factors, and is more flexible, the Company considers it to be a better method of valuing equity awards than a closed-form Black-Scholes model. Because lattice-based option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate equity award exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of equity awards granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that equity awards granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the equity award is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

**15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Retirement and Profit Sharing Plans**

The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan (the "Retirement Plan"), qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for its U.S. employees. Under this Retirement Plan, U.S. employees are eligible to make before-tax contributions on the first day of the calendar month following the later of: (i) their employment commencement date or (ii) the date they turn 21. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their qualifying annual compensation up to the annual maximum specified by the Internal Revenue Code. When the Company participates in 401(k) contribution matching, it matches an amount equal to 50% of each participant's contribution up to 6% of a participant's bi-weekly qualifying compensation starting the pay period containing the first day of the month after obtaining the later of: (i) 12 months of employment with at least 1,000 service hours from the commencement date or (ii) if 1,000 hours within the first 12 months was not completed, then after the employee completed a cumulative 1,500 service hours. The Company's matching contribution is entirely discretionary and may be reduced or eliminated at any time.

Total Retirement Plan expense recognized by the Company for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $11.0 million, $10.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements**

As disclosed in Note 2, during the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company identified errors to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 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, the Company elected to revise its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements to correct the errors. In conjunction with the revision, the Company is also correcting for other previously identified immaterial errors that were previously corrected for 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 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 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 Statements of Stockholders' Equity that have not otherwise been reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income or described above. The following tables present the revisions to the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

**ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.**

None.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures established by the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the CEO and the CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the disclosure controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.

------

The Company, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

The report of management required by this item is contained in Item 8. of this Form 10-K under the caption "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting."

**Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

The attestation report required by this item is contained in Item 8. of this Form 10-K under the caption "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm."

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

On May 2, 2024, we completed our acquisition of Crans-Montana. Crans-Montana was not previously subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under Sarbanes-Oxley and accordingly was not required to establish and maintain an internal control infrastructure meeting the standards promulgated under Sarbanes-Oxley. Our assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2024 did not include certain elements of the internal controls of Crans-Montana. However, as of July 31, 2025, Crans-Montana is now included within our assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Excluding the addition of Crans-Montana, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the year ended July 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.**

**Whistler Credit Agreement**

On September 24, 2025, we entered into the First Amending Agreement to the Whistler Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment (i) extended the maturity date to September 24, 2030; (ii) reduced the total commitment from C$300.0 million to C$250.0 million; (iii) amended the financial reporting covenants to provide that Whistler Blackcomb Holdings, Inc. deliver unaudited, rather than audited, consolidated yearly financial statements; (iv) with regard to available interest rates for borrowings under the facility, replaced existing Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") provisions with Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") provisions to address the discontinuation of CDOR which occurred in June 2024; and (v) incorporated contractual recognition of EU bail-in clauses, and (vi) required interest payments be payable monthly, rather than quarterly, on Prime Rate and Base Rate Advances. No other significant terms of the agreement were amended.

**Section 2.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Computations of Interest and Fees**

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable pursuant to <u>Section 3.05</u>, and (i) if based on the Canadian Prime Rate, or the U.S. Base Rate, a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be; or (ii**<u>) if based on Daily Compounded CORRA or Term CORRA, a</u> <u>year of 365 days; or (iii</u>**) if based on Term SOFR, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)All computations of Fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, taking into account the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)For purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or Fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days comprising such calculation basis; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate a Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the *Criminal Code* (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under the applicable Credit Document, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would constitute "interest" for purposes of <u>Section 347</u> of the *Criminal Code* (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the *Criminal Code* (Canada), the Loan Party paying the amount shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to the Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.10(4) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

over the term that the applicable Accommodations Outstanding remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of "***interest***" (as defined in the *Criminal Code* (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the date of this Agreement to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)The interest rate on an Accommodation may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or Canadian Benchmark Transition Event, as applicable, <u>Section 3.07</u> and <u>Section 3.08</u>, respectively, provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, the administration of, submission of, calculation of, performance of or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, or CDOR)**<u>Canadian Prime Rate, Term CORRA, Daily</u> <u>Compounded CORRA, Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA or Adjusted</u> <u>Term CORRA,</u>** or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative or**,** successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof**<u>thereto</u>** (including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian Benchmark Replacement), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate **<u>(including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian</u> <u>Benchmark Replacement)</u>** will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same value or economic equivalence of as the existing interest rate (or any component thereof) being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate (or any component thereof)**<u>, Canadian Prime Rate, Term CORRA, Daily Compounded CORRA,</u> <u>Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA or any other</u> <u>Canadian Benchmark or Benchmark</u>** prior to its discontinuance or unavailability**,** or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes or Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/**<u>Affiliates</u>** or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate (or component thereof) used in this Agreement**<u>U.S. Base Rate, the</u> <u>Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, the</u> <u>Canadian Benchmark, Canadian Prime Rate, Term CORRA, Daily</u> <u>Compounded CORRA, Adjusted Term CORRA, Adjusted Daily</u> <u>Compounded CORRA</u>** or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement or Canadian Benchmark **<u>Replacement</u> <u>or Benchmark</u>** Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers**<u>Borrower</u>**. The Administrative Agent

------

may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referred to in the definition thereof**<u>the U.S. Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate,</u> <u>Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, Canadian Prime Rate, Term CORRA,</u> <u>Daily Compounded CORRA, Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA,</u> <u>Adjusted Term CORRA or any other Benchmark or Canadian Benchmark</u>**, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers,**<u>Borrower, any Lender</u>** or any other Person**<u>person</u>** or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

**Section 2.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extension of the Credit Facility**

At any time between 60 and 90 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Maturity Date be extended for a further period from the then applicable Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify each Lender of such request. Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, approve or decline such request. If a Lender fails to respond within 30 days of such notice from the Administrative Agent, it shall be deemed to have declined the extension. If the Majority Lenders confirm to the Administrative Agent in writing, not less than 30 days prior to the applicable anniversary date, that such extension is acceptable to them, then the Maturity Date shall be so extended in respect only of the Lenders who have approved the request for extension and the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Borrowers. If a Lender (the "**Declining Lender**") indicates in writing to the Administrative Agent that the proposed extension is unacceptable (or is deemed to have declined the extension), the Administrative Agent shall so advise the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall be entitled, for a period up to, and including, the date which is 90 days prior to the Maturity Date as in effect in respect of such Lender, to propose one or more banks (collectively, the "**Replacement Lender**") which, if not a Lender, shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld), which Replacement Lender would be prepared to accept an assignment of the Accommodations Outstanding and Commitment under the Credit Facility of the Declining Lender in accordance with <u>Section 17.01(2)</u> hereof and to agree to the extension of the Maturity Date. If, within that time period, the Borrowers are able to propose such Replacement Lender and, if applicable, the Replacement Lender is so acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Declining Lender shall no later than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date as in effect in respect of such Lender, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to the Replacement Lender in accordance with <u>Section 17.01(2)</u> hereof for a price equal to the principal amount of the Accommodations Outstanding under the Credit Facility of that Declining Lender then outstanding plus accrued interest on the principal amount of and all other amounts payable in respect of all Accommodations Outstanding of, and all fees and all other amounts payable hereunder under the Credit Facility to, that Declining Lender to the date of such assignment (or such lesser amount as the Declining Lender and the Replacement Lender may agree), payable in cash against receipt of such assignment. Upon the assignment of the Accommodations of a Declining Lender to a Replacement Lender having

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

occurred in accordance with this <u>Section 2.11</u>, the Maturity Date of the Credit Facility shall be deemed to have been extended in respect of such Replacement Lender in the manner which would have occurred had such Declining Lender originally confirmed the acceptability of the extension. If no assignment of the Accommodations of a Declining Lender occurs in accordance with this <u>Section 2.11</u>, then the Maturity Date of the Credit Facility in respect the Accommodations of such Declining Lender under the Credit Facility shall not be extended and the Accommodations Outstanding to such Declining Lender under the Credit Facility shall be due and payable in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement on such date and, upon such payment, each such Declining Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder and such Lender's Commitment shall be terminated and the Aggregate Commitment reduced accordingly. If the Majority Lenders do not approve the extension request or if no request for an extension of the Maturity Date is received from the Borrowers, the applicable Maturity Date shall not be extended and all amounts then outstanding under the Credit Facility shall be due and payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders on the such date.

**Section 2.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Incremental Commitments**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an "**Incremental Commitment Request**"), request one or more increases in the amount of the Aggregate Commitment (a "**Commitment Increase**") under the Credit Facility (any such new Commitments, the "**Incremental Commitments**"), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Commitments are effected through the establishment of any Commitment Increase, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this <u>Section 2.12</u>, (i) each Incremental Lender shall make its new Commitment available rateably to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment and (ii) each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Commitment and the Accommodations made pursuant thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Each Incremental Loan**<u>Commitment</u>** Request from the Borrowers pursuant to this <u>Section 2.12</u> shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Commitments. Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment), or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an "**Additional Lender**", and each such existing Lender or Additional Lender, the "**Incremental Lenders**"); provided that the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender or Additional Lender providing such Commitment Increases to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under <u>Section 17.01(2)</u> for an assignment of Commitments or Accommodations Outstanding, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)**Benchmark Unavailability Period.** Upon the Borrowers' receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for an Advance of a SOFR Advance, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for a SOFR Advance or conversion to or continuation of a SOFR Advance into a request for an Advance of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Advances. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of U.S. Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the U.S. Base Rate.

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Each Lender, individually and not jointly and severally (or solidarily), agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (i) in the case of a Lender which is willing and able to accept Drafts in the form of acceptances ("**Bankers' Acceptances**"), to accept Drafts and to purchase such Bankers' Acceptances in accordance with <u>Section 4.03(2)</u>; and (ii) in the case of a Lender which is unwilling or unable to accept Drafts, to purchase completed Drafts (which have not and will not be accepted by the Lender or any other Lender) in accordance with <u>Section 4.03(2)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Each Drawing shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000 and shall consist of the acceptance and purchase of Bankers' Acceptances or the purchase of Drafts on the same day, in each case for the Drawing Price, effected or arranged by the applicable Lenders in accordance with <u>Section 4.03</u> and their respective Lender's Commitment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If the Administrative Agent determines that the Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted and purchased or Drafts to be purchased on any Drawing (upon a conversion or otherwise) will not be accepted and purchased rateably by the applicable Lenders (or any of their respective Participants) in accordance with <u>Section 4.01(2)</u> and <u>Section 4.03</u>, then the requested Face Amount of Bankers' Acceptances and Drafts shall be increased or reduced to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000 as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion determines will permit rateable sharing and, if reduced, the amount by which the requested Face Amount shall have been so reduced shall be converted or continued, as the case may be, as a Canadian Prime Rate Advance under the Credit Facility to be made contemporaneously with the Drawing.

**Section 4.02 Form of Drafts**

Each Draft presented by a Borrower shall (i) be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000; (ii) be dated the date of the Drawing, and (iii) mature and be payable by the applicable Borrower (in common with all other Drafts presented in connection with such Drawing) on a Business Day which occurs, at the election of such Borrower, approximately one, two, or three months after the Drawing Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date.

**Section 4.03 Procedure for Drawing**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Each Drawing shall be made on notice (a "**Drawing Notice**") given by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the number of days' notice specified in <u>Schedule 6</u>. Each Drawing Notice shall be in substantially the form of <u>Schedule 3</u>, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers once given by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent and shall specify (i) the requested Drawing Date; (ii) the aggregate Face Amount of Drafts to be accepted and purchased (or purchased, as the case may be); and (iii) the contract maturity date for the Drafts.

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on an applicable Drawing Date, each Lender shall complete one or more Drafts in accordance with the Drawing Notice and either (i) accept the Drafts and purchase the Bankers' Acceptances thereby created for the Drawing Price; or (ii) purchase such Drafts for the Drawing Price, and, in each case, pay to the Administrative Agent the Drawing Proceeds in respect of such Bankers' Acceptance or Draft, as the case may be. Upon receipt of the Drawing Proceeds and upon fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 6, the Administrative Agent shall make funds available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with Article 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Each Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender which has purchased a Draft in accordance with <u>Section 4.01(1)(ii)</u>, issue one or more non-interest bearing promissory notes (in form and substance acceptable to the applicable Borrower and such Lender) (each a "**BA Equivalent Note**") dated as of the same date, payable on the same date and in the same Face Amount as, and in exchange for, such Draft.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Bankers' Acceptances purchased by a Lender or Participant may be held by it for its own account until the contract maturity date or sold by it at any time prior to that date in any relevant Canadian market in such Person's sole discretion.

**Section 4.04 Presigned Draft Forms**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Subject to paragraph (2) of this <u>Section 4.04</u>, in order to enable the Lenders to accept and purchase Bankers' Acceptances or complete Drafts in the manner specified in this <u>Article 4</u>, each Borrower shall deliver to each Lender or the Administrative Agent such number of Drafts as it may reasonably request, duly signed on behalf of such Borrower. Each Lender hereby indemnifies each Borrower against any loss or improper use thereof by such Lender or its agents, will exercise and cause its agents to exercise such care in the custody and safekeeping of Drafts as it would exercise in the custody and safekeeping of similar property owned by it and will, upon request by the Borrowers, promptly advise the Borrowers of the number and designations, if any, of uncompleted Drafts held by it as agent for the Borrowers. The signature of any Responsible Officer of a Borrower on a Draft may be mechanically reproduced and any BA Instrument bearing a facsimile signature shall be binding upon such Borrower as if it had been manually signed. Even if the individuals whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any BA Instrument no longer hold office at the date of its acceptance by the applicable Lender or at any time after such date, any BA Instrument so signed shall be valid and binding upon such Borrower. No Lender shall be liable for its failure to accept a Draft as required hereby if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the applicable Borrower to provide Drafts to such Lender on a timely basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each applicable Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, any BA Instrument necessary to enable each such Lender

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

to make Drawings in the manner specified in this <u>Article 4</u>. All BA Instruments signed or endorsed on a Borrower's behalf by a Lender and any rounding by the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 4.01(3)</u> shall be binding on such Borrower, all as if duly signed or endorsed by such Borrower. Each Lender shall (i) maintain a record with respect to any BA Instrument completed in accordance with this <u>Section 4.04(2)</u>, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased or purchased or, in the case of a BA Instrument, exchanged for another BA Instrument by it pursuant to this <u>Section 4.04</u>, and cancelled at its respective maturity; and (ii) retain such records in the manner and for the statutory periods provided by Laws which apply to such Lender and make such records available to the Borrowers acting reasonably. On request by a Borrower, the applicable Lender shall cancel and return to the possession of such Borrower all BA Instruments which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of such Borrower and which are held by such Lender and are not required to make Drawings in accordance with this <u>Article 4</u>.

**Section 4.05 Payment, Conversion or Rollover of BA Instruments**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Upon the maturity of a BA Instrument, the applicable Borrower may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) elect to issue a replacement BA Instrument or elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of the BA Instrument converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Advance, in each case by giving a Rollover/Conversion Notice in accordance with <u>Section 3.03</u>. Each such election shall be made on the number of days' prior notice specified in <u>Schedule 6</u> given, in each case, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) pay, on or before 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the maturity date for the BA Instrument, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of the BA Instrument (notwithstanding that a Lender may be the holder of it at maturity). Any such payment shall satisfy the applicable Borrower's obligations under the BA Instrument to which it relates and (in the case of any Draft accepted by any Lender or Participant) such relevant Lender or Participant shall then be solely responsible for the payment of the BA Instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)If the applicable Borrower fails to pay any BA Instrument when due or issue a replacement in the Face Amount of such BA Instrument pursuant to <u>Section 4.05(1)</u>, the unpaid amount due and payable shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Advance made by the Lenders rateably and shall bear interest calculated and payable as provided in <u>Article 3</u>. This conversion shall occur as of the due date and without any necessity for the applicable Borrower to give a Borrowing Notice.

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)If, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market generally, determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent acting reasonably and in respect of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Borrowers of the occurrence and particulars thereof, there is no market for Bankers' Acceptances,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the right to request a Drawing shall be suspended until the circumstances causing a suspension no longer exist; and (ii) any Drawing Notice which is outstanding shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice requesting a Borrowing comprised of Advances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the suspension of the right to request a Drawing and of the termination of any such suspension.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)No Documentary Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the same Business Day upon which such draft is presented, if such presentation is made after 1:00 p.m. (local time at the place of presentation) on such Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Prior to the Issue Date, the applicable Borrower shall specify a precise description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificates or the form of any documents to be presented by the Beneficiary which, if presented by the Beneficiary, would require the Swing Line Lender to make payment under the Documentary Credit.

**Section 5.06&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments of Amounts Drawn**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)With respect to Swing Line Advances deemed to be made pursuant to <u>Section 5.06(2)</u>, the applicable interest rate and Applicable Margin for such advances shall be applied until such advances are repaid in full.

**YIELD PROTECTION**

**Section 10.01 Increased Costs.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)**Increased Costs Generally.** If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Accommodations made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, except for (i) Indemnified Taxes covered by <u>Section 10.02</u> and (ii) the imposition, or any change in the rate, of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market for the relevant currency any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Accommodations made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Accommodation (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Accommodation), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)**Capital Requirements.** If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Accommodations made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then upon demand, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will reasonably compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)**Certificates for Reimbursement.** A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section ("**Additional Compensation**"), including a description of the event by reason of which it believes it is entitled to such compensation, and supplying reasonable supporting evidence (including, in the event of a Change in Law, a photocopy of the Law evidencing such change) and reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. In the event the Lender subsequently recovers all or part of the Additional Compensation paid by the Borrowers, it shall promptly repay an equal amount to the Borrowers. The obligation to pay such Additional Compensation for subsequent periods will continue until the earlier of termination of the Accommodation or the Commitment affected by the Change in Law, change in capital requirement or the lapse or cessation of the Change in Law giving rise to the initial Additional Compensation. A Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any such Additional Compensation and seek recovery for the account of the Borrowers upon the Borrowers' request at the Borrowers' expense, provided such Lender in its reasonable determination suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a Lender shall only be entitled to rely upon the provisions of this <u>Section 10.01</u> if and for so long as it is not treating the Borrowers in any materially different or in any less favourable manner than is applicable to any other customers of such Lender, where such other customers are bound by similar provisions to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 10.01</u> and, in any event, in respect of a period not exceeding 90 days prior the delivery of notice in respect of any Change in Law, unless such Change in Law is retroactive or is retroactive in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)**Delay in Requests.** Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

**Section 10.02 Taxes**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)**Payments Subject to Taxes.** If any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required by Law to deduct or pay any Indemnified Taxes in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased by that Loan Party when payable as necessary so that after making or allowing for all

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

required deductions and payments (including deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal (which for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be treated as additional interest) to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required, (ii) the Loan Party shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Law and (iii) the Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)**Payment of other Taxes by the Borrowers.** Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.02(1), the Borrowers shall, to the extent that such Tax is payable by such Borrower, timely pay any stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise, intangible, mortgage, recording, or property taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)**Indemnification by the Borrowers.** The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (except to the extent that such penalties, interest and expenses arise from gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event the Administrative Agent or a Lender subsequently recovers by obtaining a refund, credit or otherwise, all or part of the payment made under this Section paid by the Borrowers, it shall promptly repay an equal amount (including any interest paid by the Governmental Authority) to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any payments under this Section and seek recovery for the account of the Borrowers upon the Borrowers' request at the Borrowers' expense, provided the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in its reasonable determination, suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage, and further provided that nothing in this Section shall require a Lender to disclose any Tax returns of such Lender or any other Tax information which such Lender deems to be confidential.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)**Evidence of Payments.** As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to

U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this <u>Section 10.02(5)</u>, "FATCA" shall include all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

**Section 10.03 Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)**Designation of a Different Lending Office.** If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 10.01</u>, or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 10.02</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Accommodations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender (with the prior consent of the Borrowers), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 10.01</u> or <u>Section 10.02</u>, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)**Replacement of Lenders.** If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 10.01</u>, if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 10.02</u>, if any Lender's obligations are suspended pursuant to <u>Section 10.04</u>, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Accommodations hereunder, then the Borrowers may either, at their sole expense and effort, upon 10 days' notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent: (i) repay all outstanding amounts due to such affected Lender (or such portion which has not been acquired pursuant to clause (ii) below) and thereupon such Commitment of the affected Lender shall be permanently cancelled and the Aggregate Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the same amount and the

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

Commitment of each of the other Lenders shall remain the same; or (ii) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, <u>Article 17</u>), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Borrowers pay the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in <u>Section 17.01(2)(f)</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Accommodations Outstanding and participations in disbursements under Documentary Credits, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any breakage costs of the assigning Lender);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under <u>Section 10.01</u> or payments required to be made pursuant to <u>Section 10.02</u>, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)such assignment does not conflict with Law.

No Lender shall be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)**Exemptions or Reductions of Withholding Tax.** Any Lender or the Administrative Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law or treaty of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) in which the Borrowers are located, with respect to the payment of any obligations shall, on the Borrowers' reasonable request, deliver to the Borrowers, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit the payments of such obligations to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

**Section 10.04 Illegality**

If the terms of this Agreement, any obligation hereunder, or any agreement related thereto become unlawful in any jurisdiction, then, on notice thereof by a Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender with respect to the activity that is unlawful shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if conversion would avoid the activity that is unlawful,

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

convert any Accommodations, or take any necessary steps with respect to any Documentary Credit in order to avoid the activity that is unlawful. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

**ARTICLE 11** 

**RIGHT OF SETOFF**

**Section 11.01 Right of Setoff.**

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or any Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of the Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers' lien) that the Lenders or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this <u>Section 11.01</u>, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with <u>Section 12.01</u> as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

**ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S CLAWBACK**

**Section 13.01 Administrative Agent's Clawback**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)**Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.** Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Lenders and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Accommodation included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent if notified in writing by the Administrative Agent within 3 Business Days of the applicable Lender failing to make available its applicable share of such advance, such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the advance in question. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)**Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.** Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.

**ARTICLE 14** 

**AGENCY**

**Section 14.01 Appointment and Authority**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as is necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith is necessary, under the provisions of the Credit Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing the Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by any Loan Party or a Lender.

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

**Section 14.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent**

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Accommodation that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Accommodation or the issuance of such Documentary Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

**Section 14.05 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent**

Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and hold it harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents or the transactions therein contemplated. However, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

**Section 14.06 Delegation of Duties**

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-Administrative Agents appointed by the Administrative Agent from among the Lenders (including the Person serving as Administrative Agent) and its respective Affiliates.

Administrative Agent and any such sub-Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The provisions of this Article and other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Administrative Agent shall apply to any such sub-Administrative Agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-Administrative Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

**Section 14.07 Replacement of Administrative Agent**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the prior consent of the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender having an office in Toronto, Ontario or an Affiliate of any Lender with an office in Toronto. The Administrative Agent may also be removed at any time by the Majority Lenders upon 30 days' notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers as long as the Majority Lenders, with the prior consent of the Borrowers, appoint and obtain the acceptance of a successor within such 30 days, which shall be a Lender having an office in Toronto, or an Affiliate of any Lender with an office in Toronto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications specified in <u>Section 14.07(1)</u>, <u>provided</u> that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Upon a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Administrative Agent, and the former Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged

therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Administrative Agent, the provisions of this <u>Article 14</u> and of <u>Article 16</u> shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Administrative Agent, its sub-Administrative Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

**Section 14.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders**

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

**Section 14.09 Collective Action of the Lenders**

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Credit Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders (including the Hedge Lenders and the Service Lenders) collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Administrative Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder or exercise of remedies (including, without limitation the exercise of any right of set-off, rights on account of any banker's lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help or any right to credit bid debt) but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders. The provisions of this <u>Section 14.09</u> are for the sole benefit of the

53661530.1**<u>53661530.7</u>**<br>

------

Administrative agent and the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defence available to, any Loan Party.

Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrowers or a new Accommodation to the Borrowers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)**Limitations upon Participant Rights.** A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 10.01</u> and <u>Section 10.02</u>, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with each Borrower's prior written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)**Certain Pledges.** Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, but no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

surety, and including without limitation, all liabilities of each Borrower arising as a consequence of its failure to pay or fulfil any of such debts, liabilities and obligations (collectively, the "**Guaranteed Obligations**").

**Section 23.02 Indemnity.**

In addition to the guarantee specified in <u>Section 23.01</u>, each Guarantor agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify and save each Guaranteed Party harmless from and against all costs, losses, expenses and damages it may suffer as a result or consequence of either Borrower's default in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any of the Guaranteed Obligations being or becoming void, voidable or unenforceable or ineffective against either Borrower, or any inability by any Guaranteed Party to recover the ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to such Guaranteed Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including without limitation, legal fees incurred by or on behalf of any Guaranteed Party resulting from any action instituted on the basis of this Guarantee.

**Section 23.03 Payment and Performance.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Subject to <u>Section 23.04</u> if any Borrower fails or refuses to punctually make any payment or perform its Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor shall unconditionally render any such payment or performance upon demand in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Nothing but payment and satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations shall release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Guarantee, except where expressly contemplated by this Agreement in connection with a disposition or transfer of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by this Agreement.

**Section 23.04 Continuing Obligation.**

The only condition necessary as a condition of each Guarantor honouring its obligations under this Guarantee shall be a written demand by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing. This Guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee, shall cover all the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to any Guaranteed Party. This Guarantee shall continue to be binding regardless of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)whether any other Person or Persons (an "**Additional Guarantor**") shall become in any other way responsible to any Guaranteed Party for or in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)whether any such Additional Guarantor shall cease to be so liable;

**Section 23.05 Guarantee Unaffected.**

This Guarantee shall not be determined or affected, or the Guaranteed Parties' rights under this Guarantee prejudiced by, the termination of any Guaranteed Obligations by operation of Law or otherwise, including without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of any Loan Party, any change in the name, business, powers, capital structure, constitution, objects, organization, directors or management of any Loan Party, with respect to transactions occurring either before or after such change. This Guarantee is to extend to the liabilities of the Person or Persons for the time being and from time to time carrying on the business now carried on by any Loan Party, notwithstanding any reorganization of any Loan Party or the amalgamation of any Loan Party with one or more other corporations (in this case, this Guarantee shall extend to the liabilities of the resulting corporation and the term "**Guarantor**" shall include such resulting corporation) or any sale or disposal of any Loan Party's business in whole or in part to one or more other Persons and all of such liabilities shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that the manner in which the Guaranteed Parties may now or subsequently deal with any other Loan Party or any security (or any collateral subject to the security) or other guarantee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no effect on any Guarantor's continuing liability under this Guarantee and such Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights it may have in respect of any of the above.

**Section 23.06 Waivers.**

Each Guarantor waives each of the following, to the fullest extent permitted by Law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,

------

Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)"**BHC Act Affiliate**" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

"**Default Right**" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"**QFC**" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this <u>Article 25</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Without limiting immediately preceding <u>Article 25</u>, each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an "**Erroneous Payment Notice**"), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Accommodations Outstanding owed by a Borrower or any other Loan Party.
