In the last quarter, MTN’s earnings and net revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4% and 2.1%, respectively.
How are MTN’s Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth-quarter loss per share has widened in the past seven days to $4.28 from $4.26. The current estimate indicates a 27.8% decline from the reported value in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for net revenues is pegged at $264 million. The metric indicates a decline of 2.1% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Factors to Note Ahead of MTN’s Quarterly Earnings
Vail Resorts’ fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have declined year over year due to a decline in skier visits and an overall shift in destination mountain travel due to seasonal demand trends. Also, weather-related challenges are likely to have been additional headwinds. Such a scenario is anticipated to have adversely impacted the contributions from the company’s Mountain (contributed 93.2% to fiscal third-quarter 2024 net revenues) and Lodging (contributed 6.8% to fiscal third-quarter net revenues) segments.
Our model predicts revenues from the Mountain and Lodging segments to decline year over year by 2.6% to $176.4 million and by 1.7% to $87.1 million, respectively. Although the Real Estate (contributed 0.01% to fiscal third-quarter net revenues) segment’s revenues are expected to increase year over year by 0.1% to $0.2 million, the expected declines in MTN’s other two reportable segments are likely to overshadow the growth.
Moreover, MTN’s bottom line is expected to have been hurt by a substantial increase in operating expenses across its reportable segments. Also, a decline in the top line is likely to hurt the metric to some extent.
We expect Resort reported EBITDA (earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortization) to decline 25% year over year to $(108.5) million.
