Intrawest Reports Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Results
- Same Store Mountain Revenue Increases -
- Updates Fiscal 2015 Guidance for Currency Shift -
Denver, Colorado, February 6, 2015 - Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SNOW), a leading North American mountain resort and adventure company, today reported results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014. Fiscal 2015 second quarter results include Blue Mountain which was acquired in September. In the prior year period, the Company’s 50% interest in Blue Mountain was accounted for under the equity method and results included only 50% of Blue’s Adjusted EBITDA and none of Blue’s skier visits or revenue.
For the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2015:
|
• |
Net loss attributable to Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. improved by $90.0 million compared to the prior year period. |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million compared to $1.7 million in the same period in the prior year. |
|
• |
Total reportable segment revenue grew by $18.6 million or 18.3% compared to the same period in the prior year, or 3.5% excluding Blue Mountain, despite challenging early season conditions in the East. |
|
• |
Total skier visits increased 15.7% compared to the prior year period, or 2.2% excluding Blue Mountain. |
|
• |
Effective Ticket Price (ETP) increased 4.0% over the prior year period, excluding Blue Mountain. |
|
• |
Season pass and frequency card sales have grown 16.5% through February 1, 2015, relative to the same time last year. |
|
• |
Revised fiscal 2015 guidance range to reflect changes to the US to Canadian dollar exchange rate. |
“Overall, we are pleased with our fiscal second quarter results. We enjoyed a strong opening in Colorado and achieved revenue and skier visit growth despite some challenging early season weather and conditions in the East,” stated Tom Marano, Chief Executive Officer. “Our same store Mountain revenue and skier visit growth was largely due to our successful season pass and pricing strategies.”
Mr. Marano continued, “Year to date, our businesses have performed in line with our previous guidance, and on a local currency basis, our outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year remains within our original fiscal 2015 guidance. Yet with approximately 46% of our operations conducted in Canada, we are now providing revised fiscal year 2015 guidance to reflect the significant decline in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar. As we look ahead to our most important quarter, we remain focused on delivering memorable experiences to our guests while continuing to evaluate and optimize our growth strategies.”

Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Highlights
Below are our comparative results for the three months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year period:
Consolidated Results
|
• |
Consolidated revenue increased $18.7 million, or 18.3%, to $120.8 million. |
|
• |
Total Adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. The decline was largely due to increased general and administrative expenses, including higher health and medical coverage expense, higher compensation expenses, and increased IT services costs, as well as higher helicopter maintenance expenses. |
|
• |
Net loss attributable to Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. improved $90.0 million to a loss of $31.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share. This improvement was largely a result of lower interest expense due to our restructuring and refinancing in December of 2013. |
Mountain Segment
|
• |
Mountain revenue increased $18.7 million, or 24.6%, to $94.7 million, primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from Blue Mountain. |
|
• |
Excluding Blue Mountain, Mountain revenue increased $3.6 million, or 4.7%, primarily due to increases in lift revenue, revenue from guest services and skier visits of 2.2%. |
|
• |
Mountain Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.6 million, or 20.3%, to $2.5 million, primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses. |
Adventure Segment
|
• |
Adventure revenue declined $1.3 million, or 11.2%, to $10.2 million, primarily due to poor early season snowfall and warm temperatures at CMH, which resulted in postponed trips. |
|
• |
Adventure Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $1.7 million, or 56.2%, to a loss of $4.8 million, primarily due to higher helicopter maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses. |
Real Estate Segment
|
• |
Real Estate revenue increased $1.2 million, or 8.8%, to $15.2 million, primarily due to an increase in payments on financed sales at the Company's vacation club business and an increase in real estate sales volume and associated commission revenue. |
|
• |
Real Estate Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.8 million, or 49.6%, to $2.5 million, primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in the Company’s pro rata share of EBITDA for its equity method investments in MHM and Chateau. |
Fiscal 2015 Outlook
Reflecting changes to the US to Canadian dollar exchange rate relative to the 1.10 rate used to set the original guidance, the Company updated the fiscal 2015 guidance range. Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be between $103 million and $108 million assuming a US to Canadian dollar exchange rate of 1.26 for the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal 2015 year. The Company's third fiscal quarter is its largest quarter and historically accounts for approximately 140% of Adjusted EBITDA.
For the full fiscal year 2015, the Company expects:
|
• |
Total Reportable Segment Revenue in the range of $552 million to $577 million* |
|
• |
Mountain Segment Revenue in the range of $402 million to $418 million |
2
|
• |
Adventure Segment Revenue in the range of $95 million to $99 million |
|
• |
Real Estate Segment Revenue in the range of $55 million to $60 million |
|
• |
Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $103 million to $108 million* |
|
• |
Mountain Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $82 million to $86 million |
|
• |
Adventure Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $11 million to $13 million |
|
• |
Real Estate Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $8 million to $9 million |
|
• |
Net loss attributable to Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. in the range of $19 million to $9 million |
*Note: Totals above may not add due to rounding.
Factors and assumptions impacting the Company's outlook for fiscal 2015 compared to prior year results include: the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Blue Mountain Ski Resort; $4.0 million of incremental public company costs; $1.5 million related to increased eCommerce software expense and PCI compliance; variability in fire suppression activities; and USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.26 for the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. In addition, the Company's outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2015 includes other assumptions such as normal historical weather conditions for the remainder of the ski season and a continuation of the current economic environment.

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure.
Our board of directors and management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure. Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that our management believes do not reflect our core operating performance. The compensation committee of our board of directors will determine the annual variable compensation for certain members of our management team, based in part, on Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Our management compensates for these limitations by reference to our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure.
