Vail Resorts (MTN) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Vail Resorts, Inc. (MTN - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 9, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company reported a negative earnings surprise of 4%.
How are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter earnings is pegged at $9.13 per share, indicating an improvement of 35.9% from $6.72 reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $1,158 million. The metric suggests an increase of 30.2% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors at Play
Vail Resorts’ third-quarter fiscal 2022 performance is likely to reflect strong performance by the company’s North American ski season and solid resort revenues. On Apr 25, 2022, the company provided a business update, reporting strength in destination visitation and solid lift ticket sales at Colorado and Utah resorts. The company recorded solid performance at Whistler Blackcomb owing to the easing travel restrictions in Canada. Also, it informed that eastern U.S. ski areas’ performance mostly remained in line with expectations.
Season-to-date (through Apr 17, 2022) total skier visits increased 12.5% from the prior-year season-to-date period’s (Apr 18, 2021) levels. Lift ticket revenues (including an allocated portion of season pass revenues for each applicable period) increased 19.4% year over year. Ski school revenues surged 53% year over year while dining revenues rose 73.2% compared with the prior-year period’s figure. Retail/rental revenues for North American resort and ski area store locations increased 39% compared with the prior-year season-to-date period’s levels.
Increased focus on offerings such as Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass, Epic Day Pass and Epic Coverage products and strategic price management are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, unfavorable weather conditions are likely to have affected operations in Tahoe resorts. This and coronavirus-induced operational restrictions in dining and staffing challenges are likely to have affected the company’s ancillary lines of business in the fiscal third quarter.
