Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 

Below are the Company's results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the prior year period: 

Consolidated Results 
  • Consolidated revenue increased by $19.2 million, or 6.1%, to $334.9 million, primarily driven by a $14.8 million increase in Mountain revenue. 
  • Net income attributable to Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. decreased by $18.2 million, or 10.4%, to $156.3 million, or $3.80 per diluted share. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $40.5 million gain on the sale of Intrawest Resort Club Group ("IRCG") recognized in the prior year period, partially offset by the increase in Mountain revenue in the current period. 
  • Total Adjusted EBITDA improved by $15.7 million, or 9.7%, to $177.0 million. The increase was largely driven by the Mountain Segment due to increased yields and Skier Visits. 
Mountain Segment 
  • Mountain revenue increased by $14.8 million, or 5.8%, to $270.1 million, primarily due to increases across all of our major lines of revenue driven by yield improvements across our resorts and increased skier visits in the East with the return to historical average conditions. 
  • Skier Visits increased 2.5%, ETP increased 3.5%, and Revenue per Visit increased 3.2%. 
  • Mountain Adjusted EBITDA improved by $11.7 million, or 8.5%, to $148.4 million, primarily due to a $14.8 million increase in Mountain revenue, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in Mountain operating expenses primarily related to variable costs associated with higher visitation volume. 
Adventure Segment 
  • Adventure revenue grew by $4.8 million, or 9.9%, to $53.7 million, primarily due to increased yields on heli-ski trips at CMH. 
  • Adventure Adjusted EBITDA improved by $3.3 million, or 15.7%, to $24.6 million, primarily due to the $4.8 million increase in Adventure revenue, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in Adventure operating expenses. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency adjustment of $1.0 million, Adventure operating expenses increased $0.5 million, or 2.1%, primarily due to higher variable expenses at CMH. 
  • Overall, CMH Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million while Alpine Aerotech Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.1 million. 
Real Estate Segment 
  • Real Estate revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 3.5%, to $9.6 million. Excluding IRCG, which was sold on January 29, 2016, Real Estate revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 12.3%, primarily due to higher occupancy and higher ADR at our Intrawest Hospitality Management properties. 
  • Real Estate Adjusted EBITDA increased by 20.8%, to $4.0 million, primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in Real Estate operating expenses, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in Real Estate revenue. Excluding IRCG, Real Estate Adjusted EBITDA grew by $1.0 million, or 33.7%.
