| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $3.0B | +2.7% | +11.2% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $280.0M | +21.2% | +62.0% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +42.8% | +0.4% | -47.5% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +18.9% | +11.5% | -26.3% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +9.4% | +17.9% | +45.7% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $319.7M | -14.9% | -80.7% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +10.8% | -17.2% | -82.6% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 811.4% | +92.8% | -44.0% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 0.63x | -23.6% | +46.6% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $5.8B | +1.4% | +1.5% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 7.53 vs 7.74 | -2.7% | 8.76 vs 8.94 | -2.0% |

Operator: Good afternoon, and welcome to the Vail Resorts Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. [Operator Instructions] I will now turn the call over to Connie Wang, Vice President of Investor Relations at Vail Resorts. You may begin. Connie Wang: Thank you, operator. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Vail Resorts Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call. Joining me on the call today are Rob Katz, our Chief Executive Officer; and Angela Korch, our Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, let me remind you that some information provided during this call may include forward-looking statements that are based on certain assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as described in our SEC filings, and actual future results may vary materially. Forward-looking statements in our press release issued this afternoon, along with our remarks on this call, are made as of today, June 8, 2026, and we undertake no duty to update them as actual events unfold. Today's remarks also include certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these measures are provided in the tables included with our press release, which, along with our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, were filed this afternoon with the SEC and are also available on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.vailresorts.com. I would now like to turn the call over to Rob for opening remarks. Robert Katz: Thanks, Connie. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our third quarter earnings call. Before getting into the details around the quarter, I want to take a minute to step back and discuss our progress against the focus areas I laid out last year. This call a year ago was my first opportunity to speak with all of you after stepping back into the CEO role. At that time, I outlined the foundational advantages that differentiate our company, including our owned and operated network, advanced commitment model and deep guest relationships and our commitment to leveraging those strengths to deepen guest engagement, loyalty and drive stronger revenue growth. Now a year later, and despite just going through a very challenging ski season, those priorities remain unchanged, and we are encouraged by the progress we've made in evolving our marketing approach and enhancing our lift ticket strategies. As I think it's well understood, our results this past year were significantly impacted by weather challenges across the western United States. The historically adverse weather conditions we discussed last quarter continued through March and April, which drove meaningful pressure on visitation and revenue in the quarter, particularly at our destination resorts in the Rockies, which experienced the worst season on record for snowfall. To give context on the magnitude of the impact of conditions on visitation this past season, industry-wide visitation in the Rockies declined approximately 24%. …
