CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation:
|
|
|
•
|
weakness in general economic conditions;
|
|
|
|
•
|
lack of adequate snowfall and unfavorable weather conditions;
|
|
|
|
•
|
lack of access to adequate supplies of water to make snow and otherwise conduct our operations;
|
|
|
|
•
|
adverse events that occur during our peak operating periods;
|
|
|
|
•
|
our failure to achieve the expected benefits of our strategic alliance, real estate development, acquisition and other growth strategies;
|
|
|
|
•
|
Steamboat Ski & Resort’s dependence on contracted direct air service;
|
|
|
|
•
|
risks related to information technology;
|
|
|
|
•
|
our potential failure to maintain the integrity of our customer or employee data;
|
|
|
|
•
|
adverse consequences of ongoing legacy litigation or future legal claims;
|
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to monetize real estate assets;
|
|
|
|
•
|
a partial or complete loss of Alpine Helicopters Inc.’s services;
|
|
|
|
•
|
the effects of climate change on our business operations;
|
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
|
|
|
|
•
|
risks of foreign currency fluctuations which could reduce the U.S. dollar value of our Canadian earnings;
|
|
|
|
•
|
risks associated with the ownership of a majority of our outstanding common stock by entities managed or controlled by Fortress Investment Group, LLC (collectively “Fortress”), including potential sales of shares held by Fortress, governance rights in our stockholders' agreement with Fortress and potential conflicts of interests;
|
|
|
|
•
|
our leverage, which could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to support our growth strategy; and
|
|
|
|
•
|
our limited public float and therefore trading volume.
|
You should carefully consider the risks described in Part I - Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 8, 2016, as amended by our Amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on November 3, 2016. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Formation and Business
|
Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to herein as the "Company") is a Delaware corporation that was formed on August 30, 2013 as a holding company that operates various subsidiaries primarily engaged in the operation of mountain resorts, adventure businesses, and real estate activities, throughout North America.
The Company conducts business through three segments: Mountain, Adventure and Real Estate. The Mountain segment includes the Company's mountain resort and lodging operations at Steamboat Ski & Resort (“Steamboat”) and Winter Park Resort (“Winter Park”) in Colorado, Stratton Mountain Resort (“Stratton”) in Vermont, Snowshoe Mountain Resort (“Snowshoe”) in West Virginia, Mont Tremblant Resort (“Tremblant”) in Quebec, and Blue Mountain Ski Resort (“Blue Mountain”) in Ontario. The Mountain segment derives revenue mainly from sales of lift products, lodging, ski school services, retail and rental merchandise, food and beverage, and other ancillary services.
The Adventure segment includes Canadian Mountain Holidays (“CMH”), which provides helicopter accessed skiing, mountaineering and hiking from eleven lodges in British Columbia, Canada. In support of CMH’s operations, the Company owns a fleet of Bell helicopters that are also used in the off-season for fire suppression activities and other commercial uses primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company's subsidiary, Alpine Aerotech L.P., provides helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul services to the Company’s fleet of helicopters as well as to aircraft owned by unaffiliated third parties.
The Real Estate segment is comprised of Intrawest Hospitality Management, Inc. (“IHM”), which principally manages condominium hotel properties including Honua Kai Resort and Spa in Maui, Hawaii and the Westin Monache Resort in Mammoth Lakes, California, Playground, a residential real estate sales and marketing business, the Company’s 50.0% interest in Mammoth Hospitality Management, L.L.C. ("MHM"), the Company's 57.1% economic interest in Chateau M.T. Inc. ("Chateau"), and formerly included Intrawest Resort Club Group ("IRCG"), a vacation club business, which was sold on January 29, 2016 ("the Disposition Date"). The Real Estate segment is also comprised of real estate development activities and includes costs associated with these activities, such as planning activities and land carrying costs.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in which the Company does not have a controlling interest or is not the primary beneficiary, but over which the Company is able to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, the original cost of the investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of post-acquisition earnings or losses increased by contributions less distributions received. As of July 1, 2016, the Company reassessed all non-wholly owned subsidiaries in accordance with the new guidance issued in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”) and determined that no changes to consolidation methods were needed.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited)
The Company owns a 20.0% equity interest in Alpine Helicopters Inc. (“Alpine Helicopters”). Alpine Helicopters employs all the pilots that fly the helicopters supporting CMH's operations. Alpine Helicopters leases substantially all of its helicopters from Intrawest ULC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, creating economic dependence and therefore giving Intrawest ULC a variable interest in Alpine Helicopters. Alpine Helicopters is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and is consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining 80.0% equity interest in Alpine Helicopters is held by the employees of Alpine Helicopters and is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, Alpine Helicopters had total assets of $8.8 million and total liabilities of $3.5 million.
On January 29, 2016, the Company sold substantially all of the assets used in the operations of IRCG and all of the equity interests in certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of IRCG to Diamond Resorts Corporation and Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (together with Diamond Resorts Corporation, “Diamond”), as described in Note 3, “Dispositions” (the "IRCG Transaction"). In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the disposal did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation and, therefore, the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) reflect the consolidation of the results of IRCG in the prior fiscal year. Prior to the Deposition Date, IRCG was a part of the Real Estate segment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net receivables and accounts payable approximated their carrying value based on the short-term nature of these instruments. Estimates of fair value may be affected by assumptions made and, accordingly, are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The fair value of the Senior Debt (as defined in Note 6, “Debt”) was estimated using quoted prices for the Company's instruments in markets that are not active and was considered a Level 2 measure. The fair value of other debt obligations was estimated based on Level 3 inputs using discounted cash flow analyses based on assumptions that management believes are consistent with market participant assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) ("ASU 2017-01"). This update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets of businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). This update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company intends to adopt this guidance on July 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). This update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited)
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). This update is part of the FASB's simplification initiative and is intended to simplify accounting for stock-based compensation. The guidance requires that excess tax benefits or deficiencies be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, rather than recognized in additional paid-in capital. The guidance allows the Company to elect whether to recognize forfeitures as they occur or use an estimated forfeiture assumption in estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively for the year beginning on July 1, 2016.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 supersedes existing guidance in Leases (Topic 840). The revised standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases with lease terms greater than twelve months on the balance sheet, including those currently classified as operating leases, and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on their balance sheets, while lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While we are continuing to evaluate the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact will relate to our accounting for operating leases and that our capital leases will remain substantially unchanged under the new standard.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ("ASU 2015-05"). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice by providing explicit guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-05 as of July 1, 2016 and will apply the guidance prospectively for all arrangements entered into or materially modified after July 1, 2016. There was no impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). This update (i) amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) amends the criteria for evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest, (iii) amends the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and (iv) ends the deferral previously granted to certain investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance for the year beginning on July 1, 2016. With the adoption the Company reassessed all non-wholly owned subsidiaries and determined that no changes to consolidation methods were needed.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that defers the effective date of the new revenue recognition guidance for one year, to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10"), which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance in Topic 606. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12"), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 606 on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2016-20"), which provides technical corrections and improvements to clarify Topic 606 or to correct unintended application of Topic 606. These accounting standard updates have the same effective date as the original standard. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is planning to adopt the standard on July 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the assessment phase to evaluate the impact this standard will have on our financial results, systems, processes and internal controls and based on that assessment will then determine the transition approach to use and the full impact of adoption.

3. Dispositions
On November 24, 2015, the Company, through its wholly owned indirect subsidiaries, Intrawest U.S. Holdings, Inc. and Intrawest ULC, entered into a definitive agreement to sell IRCG, its vacation club business, to Diamond for gross proceeds of $84.6 million, which included certain purchase price adjustments. The purchase price consisted of cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities, including certain lease obligations and certain other continuing contractual obligations.
Upon closing the IRCG Transaction on January 29, 2016, Diamond acquired substantially all of the assets used in the operations of IRCG and all of the equity interests in certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The IRCG Transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $40.4 million, which was included in the gain on sale of IRCG line item in the consolidated statement of operations accompanying the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 filed with the SEC on September 8, 2016, as amended by our Amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on November 3, 2016. Due to the Company's net operating losses for tax purposes in the United States and Canada, there were no cash taxes or any impact on the effective tax rate, due to the Company's valuation allowance, as a result of the IRCG Transaction.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
|
Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include unvested restricted common stock, restricted stock units, and stock options, the dilutive effect of which is calculated using the treasury stock method.
Due to the Company's reported net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the effect of 0.9 million and 1.5 million share based payment awards, respectively, was not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Due to the Company's reported net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the effect of 0.7 million and 1.3 million share based payment awards, respectively, was not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is presented below (in thousands, except per share data).

Senior Debt
The Company’s credit agreement, dated as of December 9, 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), provides for a $540.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan"), a $25.0 million senior secured first-lien revolving loan facility (the “Revolver”), and a $55.0 million senior secured first-lien letters of credit facility (the “LC Facility” and, together with the Term Loan and Revolver, collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Debt”). Pursuant to an Incremental Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated September 19, 2014 (the "Incremental Amendment"), the Company borrowed an incremental $60.0 million under the Term Loan, and continues to have the ability to increase the borrowings on the Term Loan under certain circumstances and subject to certain criteria; so long as, after giving effect to any additional amounts borrowed, the Company remains compliant with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. There were $39.8 million and $42.8 million of irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding under the LC Facility at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver or draws on our outstanding letters of credit under the LC facility as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. On December 30, 2016, the Company executed the sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement, which primarily served to appoint Bank of America, N.A. as the Company's administrative agent.
Other Debt Obligations
Other debt obligations include various lending agreements, including a government loan agreement and a bank loan related to employee housing. The weighted average interest rate for other debt obligations was 5.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Interest Expense
The Term Loan bears interest based upon the LIBOR-based rate subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. On October 14, 2016, certain of the subsidiaries of the Company, that guarantee the Senior Debt, entered into the fifth amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment decreased the applicable margin for base rate loans and Eurodollar rate loans under the Term Loan from 3.00% to 2.50% and from 4.00% to 3.50%, respectively. Additionally, the Fifth Amendment decreased the applicable margin for base rate loans and Eurodollar rate loans under the Revolver. The applicable margin for base rate loans under the Revolver decreased from 2.75% to 2.50%, if the total secured debt leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.50:1.00, and from 2.50% to 2.25% if the total secured debt leverage ratio is less than 4.50:1.00. The applicable margin for Eurodollar rate loans under the Revolver decreased from 3.75% to 3.50%, if the total secured debt leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.50:1.00, and from 3.50% to 3.25% if the total secured debt leverage ratio is less than 4.50:1.00. As of December 31, 2016, the applicable margin was 3.50% under the Term Loan, 3.25% under the Revolver and 4.50% under the LC Facility.
The Company recorded interest expense of $9.1 million and $10.3 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was amortization of deferred financing costs and the OID. The Company recorded interest expense of $19.0 million and $20.4 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $1.9 million and $1.8 million was amortization of deferred financing costs and the OID.

8. Income Taxes
The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate for the period, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the period presented. The consolidated income tax provision attributable to the Company was a $0.6 million benefit and a $0.3 million expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and a $0.5 million benefit and a $1.3 million expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, primarily relating to taxable Canadian helicopter operations. These amounts represent an effective tax rate of 3.1% and (0.5)% for the three and six months ended
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2016, respectively; and an effective tax rate of 1.8% and (1.8)% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The federal blended statutory rate was 28.9% and 31.9% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and 29.5% and 31.5% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rates for the periods presented differ from the federal blended statutory rates due to changes in the recorded valuation allowances for entities in the United States and Canada.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit
The Company had issued letters of credit of $39.8 million and $42.8 million as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, mainly to secure the Company's commitments under the three closed noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain of the Company's former executives and self-insurance claims. These outstanding letters of credit will expire in November 2018.
Legal
The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business and others arising from legacy real estate development. These lawsuits and claims may include, among other things, claims or litigation relating to personal injury and wrongful death, allegations of violations of laws and regulations relating to real estate activities and labor and employment, intellectual property and environmental matters and commercial contract disputes. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions and, as a result, a claim in one jurisdiction may lead to claims or regulatory penalties in other jurisdictions.
Due to the nature of the activities at the Company's mountain resorts and CMH, the Company is exposed to the risk that customers or employees may be involved in accidents during the use, operation or maintenance of its trails, lifts, helicopters and facilities. As a result, the Company is, from time to time, subject to various lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business related to injuries occurring at the Company's properties.
In addition, the Company's pre-2010 legacy real estate development and sales activities, combined with the significant downward shift in real estate asset values that occurred in 2007 and 2008, resulted in claims arising in the ordinary course of business being filed against the Company by owners and prospective purchasers of residences of the Company's real estate developments. In some instances, the Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging construction defects at certain of the Company's existing developments or alleging that the Company failed to construct planned amenities. In other lawsuits, purchasers are seeking rescission of real estate purchases and/or return of deposits paid on pre-construction purchase and sale agreements. These claims are related to alleged violations of state and federal laws.
The Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage or has adequately accrued for loss contingencies for all material matters in which it believes a loss is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of claims cannot be ascertained, current pending and threatened claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention and may affect the Company's reputation, even if resolved in the Company's favor.
Government Grants and Loans
The federal government of Canada and the provincial government of Quebec have granted financial assistance to certain subsidiaries of the Company in the form of reimbursable loans and forgivable grants for the construction of specified tourist facilities at Tremblant. The unamortized balance of forgivable government grants received is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and recorded as a reduction in depreciation expense of the related fixed asset or a reduction in cost of sales for property under development at the time a sale is recognized. Reimbursable government loans are included in long-term debt and long-term debt due within one year in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The reimbursable government loans have a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.4%.

Capital Leases
Capital lease obligations are primarily for equipment except for the lease of the Winter Park ski resort. The Winter Park capital lease requires annual payments, a portion of which are contingent on future annual gross revenue levels. As such, the obligation associated with the contingent portion of the payments is not readily determinable and has not been recorded. The Company is contractually obligated to make certain debt service payments on behalf of Winter Park Recreational Association as a requirement of the capital lease agreement.
Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The capital leases have a weighted average remaining term of 35 years and a weighted average interest rate of 9.9%.
Other
The Company holds certain forestry licenses and land leases with respect to its resort operations at Steamboat and Winter Park. These licenses and leases expire between 2047 and 2056 and provide for annual payments based on a percentage of sales that range between 1.5% and 4.0% of such sales. Payments for forestry licenses and land leases were $0.8 million for each of the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and $0.9 million for each of the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
10. Segment Information
The Company currently manages and reports operating results through three segments: Mountain, Adventure and Real Estate. The Mountain segment includes the operations of the Company’s mountain resorts and related ancillary activities. The Mountain segment
earns revenue from a variety of activities, including lift revenue, lodging revenue, ski school revenue, retail and rental revenue, food and beverage revenue, and other revenue. The Adventure segment generates revenue from the sale of helicopter accessed skiing, mountaineering and hiking adventure packages, and ancillary services, such as fire suppression services, leasing, and maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft. The Real Estate segment includes the management of condominium hotel properties and real estate management, including marketing and sales activities, real estate development activities, and a vacation club business through the Disposition Date, as described in Note 3, "Dispositions".
Each of the Company’s segments offers distinctly different products and services and requires different types of management focus. As such, these segments are managed separately. In deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly evaluates the performance of the Company's segments on the basis of revenue and earnings, which are adjusted for certain items set forth in the reconciliation below, including interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Company also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA as a key compensation measure. The compensation committee of the board of directors reviews the annual variable compensation for certain members of the management team based, in part, on Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s management believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful when comparing the segment performance over various reporting periods because it removes from the operating results the impact of items that the Company's management believes do not reflect the Company's core operating performance.
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. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other entities may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA is generally consistent with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA in the Credit Agreement, with exceptions related
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited)
to not adjusting for recurring public company costs and foreign currency adjustments related to operational activities and adjusting for executive management restructuring costs.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to the Company. before interest expense, net (excluding interest income earned from receivables related to IRCG operations) prior to the Disposition Date, income tax benefit or expense and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to: (i) impairments of goodwill, real estate and long-lived assets; (ii) gains and losses on asset dispositions; (iii) earnings and losses from equity method investments; (iv) gains and losses from remeasurement of equity method investments; (v) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; (vi) other income or expense; (vii) earnings and losses attributable to noncontrolling interest; (viii) discontinued operations, net of tax; and (ix) other items, which include revenue and expenses of legacy and other non-core operations, restructuring charges and associated severance expenses, non-cash compensation and other items. For purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company also adds back to net income (loss) attributable to the Company the pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDA related to equity method investments included within the segments and removes from Adjusted EBITDA the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests for entities consolidated within the segments. Asset information by segment, except for capital expenditures as shown in the table below, is not included in reports used by the CODM in the monitoring of performance and, therefore, is not disclosed.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies". Transactions among segments are accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, or, in other words, at current market prices.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC) on September 8, 2016, as amended by our Amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on November 3, 2016. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References herein to the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" are to Intrawest Resort Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a North American mountain resort, adventure, and real estate company, delivering distinctive vacation and travel experiences to our customers for over three decades. We wholly own and/or operate six four-season mountain resorts with approximately 8,000 skiable acres and approximately 1,100 acres of land available for real estate development. Our mountain resorts are geographically diversified across North America’s major ski regions, including the Eastern United States, the Rocky Mountains and Canada. Our mountain resorts are located within an average of approximately 160 miles of major metropolitan markets with high concentrations of affluent skiers and several major national airports, including: New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., Denver, Pittsburgh, Montreal and Toronto. We also operate an adventure travel business, which includes Canadian Mountain Holidays (“CMH”), a leading heli-skiing adventure company in North America. CMH provides helicopter accessed skiing, mountaineering and hiking over approximately 3.0 million tenured acres. Additionally, we operate a comprehensive real estate business through which we manage condominium hotel properties and sell and market residential real estate.
Our three segments are as follows:
|
|
|
•
|
Mountain: Our Mountain segment includes our mountain resort and lodging operations at Steamboat Ski & Resort (“Steamboat”), Winter Park Resort (“Winter Park”), Stratton Mountain Resort (“Stratton”), Snowshoe Mountain Resort (“Snowshoe”), Mont Tremblant Resort (“Tremblant”), and Blue Mountain Ski Resort (“Blue Mountain”).
|
|
|
|
•
|
Adventure: Our Adventure segment is comprised of CMH, which provides helicopter accessed skiing, mountaineering, and hiking in British Columbia, and our ancillary businesses that support CMH and provide commercial aviation services, such as firefighting, leasing and helicopter maintenance, and repair and overhaul (“MRO”) services to third parties.
|
|
|
|
•
|
Real Estate: Our Real Estate segment includes our real estate management, marketing and sales businesses, as well as our real estate development activities. Our Real Estate segment includes Intrawest Hospitality Management, Inc. (“IHM”), which manages condominium hotel properties including Honua Kai Resort and Spa in Maui, Hawaii and the Westin Monache Resort in Mammoth Lakes, California, Playground, our residential real estate sales and marketing business, our 50.0% interest in Mammoth Hospitality Management, L.L.C. (“MHM”) and our 57.1% economic interest in Chateau M.T. Inc. (“Chateau”), and formerly included the Intrawest Resort Club Group ("IRCG"), a vacation club business, until we sold the business on January 29, 2016 (the "Disposition Date"). Our Real Estate segment also includes costs associated with real estate development activities, such as planning activities and land carrying costs.
|
In addition to our segments, our consolidated financial results reflect items related to our legacy real estate development and sales activities and non-core assets and operations (referred to herein as “Legacy, non-core and other”).
Recent Transactions
IRCG Transaction
On January 29, 2016, the Company sold substantially all of the assets used in the operations of IRCG and all of the equity interests in certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of IRCG to Diamond Resorts Corporation and Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (together with Diamond Resorts Corporation, “Diamond”) for a purchase price of approximately $84.6 million (the “IRCG Transaction”).
Factors Affecting our Business
Economic Conditions
Our results of operations are affected by consumer discretionary spending. Numerous economic trends support the notion that the health of the general economy has improved in recent periods. We believe that if the economy continues to improve, consumers will have more disposable income and a greater inclination to engage in and spend money on leisure activities, which will positively impact our results of operations. We also believe that lower fuel prices experienced in recent periods can, if sustained, benefit the travel and leisure industry.
Snowfall and Weather
The timing and amount of snowfall and other weather conditions can have an impact on visitation and the financial results in primarily our Mountain and Adventure segments. Our resorts are geographically diversified and have strong snowmaking capabilities, which help to partially mitigate the impact of localized snow conditions and weather. In addition, our increasing percentage of revenue derived from season pass and frequency products sold prior to the ski season helps to insulate us from variations in snowfall and weather conditions. Prolonged periods of severe weather at our resorts and helicopter accessed skiing tenures can force us to cancel or suspend operations, which may have a negative impact on our financial results. Weather may also have an effect on our summer fire suppression activities and flight hours, as a significant share of our ancillary firefighting service revenue is from “as needed” contracts, which is based almost entirely on flight hours.
Season Pass and Frequency Product Usage
Season pass products offer unlimited access to lifts at our resorts, subject to certain exceptions and restrictions, for a fixed upfront payment. Frequency products are valid for a specific period of time or number of visits, providing our customers with flexibility to ski on multiple dates for a fixed price. The number of visits from season pass and frequency product holders is influenced by sales volume and usage levels. In recent ski seasons, season pass and frequency product sales have been increasing, while usage levels vary from one ski season to the next due primarily to changes in weather, snowfall and skiing conditions. A greater proportion of visits from season pass and frequency product holders results in downward pressure on the effective ticket price (“ETP”) since these passholders are skiing for a fixed upfront payment, regardless of the number of times they visit. This downward pressure on ETP is more pronounced in ski seasons with higher snowfall, as season pass holders increase their usage. Similarly, a greater proportion of visits from season pass and frequency product holders may result in downward pressure on Revenue Per Visit, as defined in "Key Business Metrics Evaluated by Management". We expect the volume and pricing of season pass and frequency product sales to continue to increase in future ski seasons; however, ETP and Revenue Per Visit in any given ski season may increase or decrease as a result of the mix of visitors and pass products.
Seasonality and Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
Our business is seasonal in nature. Although we operate four-season resorts, based upon historical results, we generate the highest revenue between our second and third fiscal quarters, which includes the peak ski season. As a result of the seasonality of our business, our mountain resorts and CMH typically experience operating losses during the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year. In addition, during our peak quarters, we generate the highest daily revenue on weekends, during the Christmas/New Year’s and Presidents’ Day holiday periods and, in the case of our mountain resorts, during school spring breaks. Depending on how peak periods, holidays and weekends fall on the calendar, in any given year we may have more or less peak periods, holidays and weekends in our second fiscal quarter compared to prior years, with a corresponding difference in our third fiscal quarter. These differences can result in material differences in our quarterly results of operations and affect the comparability of our results of operations.

Resort Real Estate Markets
We intend to resume development of residential vacation homes at our mountain resorts or other resort properties when market conditions are favorable. The value and sales volume of vacation homes fluctuate with macroeconomic trends and consumer sentiment. During recent periods we have seen a partial recovery in the market for vacation homes.
Foreign Currency Fluctuation Risk
We present our financial statements in United States dollars ("U.S. dollars"). Our operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as a significant portion of our revenue and operating expenses is transacted in Canadian dollars, principally at Tremblant, Blue Mountain and within our Adventure segment. A significant fluctuation in the Canada/U.S. exchange rate could therefore have a significant impact on our results of operations after translating our Canadian operations into U.S. dollars. See Part I - Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, "Foreign Currency Fluctuations".
Where we discuss the impact of foreign currency adjustments on our results of operations, the impact is calculated on a constant U.S. dollars basis. We calculate constant U.S. dollar amounts by applying prior year period average exchange rates to the current comparable period.

The following historical consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Excluding the IRCG revenue, revenue increased by $20.1 million, or 11.0%, in the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased in the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015 primarily as a result of an increase of $2.7 million in total segment operating expenses. Total segment operating expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2016 included increases of $6.0 million and $0.6 million in Mountain and Adventure operating expenses, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $3.9 million in Real Estate operating expenses.

Excluding the IRCG operating expense, operating expenses increased by $6.3 million, or 3.0%, in the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly by $0.3 million and $0.1 million, in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily due to the closing of the IRCG Transaction in January 2016, which resulted in us no longer recording the related depreciation and amortization.
Loss (gain) on disposal of assets
In the three months ended December 31, 2016, the loss on disposal of assets of $1.5 million was primarily attributable to the write-off of a damaged helicopter with a book value of $1.3 million. In the three months ended December 31, 2015, the gain on disposal of assets of $1.6 million was primarily due to the completion of a non-monetary exchange of helicopter assets with an independent third party, acquiring four helicopters in exchange for two. A $1.7 million gain resulted from the fair value of the helicopters received exceeding the net book value of helicopters sold.
In the six months ended December 31, 2016, the loss on disposal of assets of $1.1 million was primarily attributable to the write-off of a damaged helicopter with a book value of $1.3 million. In the six months ended December 31, 2015, the gain on disposal of assets of $2.3 million was primarily due to the completion of a non-monetary exchange of helicopter assets with an independent third party, acquiring four helicopters in exchange for two. A $1.7 million gain resulted from the fair value of the helicopters received exceeding the net book value of helicopters sold. Additionally, we recognized a gain due to the insurance proceeds received exceeding the net book value of a damaged helicopter.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net, decreased by $0.4 million, or 4.0%, in the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015 as a result of lower interest expense partially offset by lower interest income. Interest expense decreased as a result of the reduced outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan. We made principal payments of $8.8 million in January 2016 due to an excess cash flow payment and $25.0 million in April 2016 in conjunction with executing the fourth amendment ("Fourth Amendment") to our existing Credit Agreement. Execution of the fifth amendment ("Fifth Amendment") to our existing Credit Agreement in October 2016 further reduced the interest rate by 50 basis points. Interest income decreased primarily due to lower notes receivable as a result of the IRCG disposition on January 29, 2016.
Interest expense, net, increased by $0.2 million, or 1.2%, in the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015 as a result of lower interest income partially offset by lower interest expense. Interest income decreased primarily due to lower notes receivable as a result of the IRCG disposition on January 29, 2016.

Earnings (loss) from equity method investments
Earnings (loss) from equity method investments increased by $2.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015 primarily due to increased earnings from our investments in MHM and the Mammoth family of resorts.
Earnings (loss) from equity method investments increased by $4.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015 primarily driven by increased earnings from our investment in MHM coupled with improved results from our investment in the Mammoth family of resorts. These increases were in part due to higher summer visitation and biking activities which led to increased lodging, food and beverage and other earnings compared to the same period of the prior year.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
In the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a $0.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of amending our Senior Debt during the three months ended December 31, 2016. There was no comparable transaction in the prior year period.
Other (expense) income, net
Other income, net, decreased by $5.4 million and $5.0 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily due to a favorable legacy legal settlement during the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Key Business Metrics Evaluated by Management
"Skier Visits" represents the total of each individual’s use of a paid or complimentary ticket, frequency card or season pass product to ski or snowboard at our mountain resorts for any part of one day. We measure visitation volume during the ski season, which is when most of our lift revenue is earned, by the number of Skier Visits at our resorts. The number of Skier Visits, viewed in conjunction with ETP (defined below), is an important indicator of our lift revenue. Changes in the number of Skier Visits have an impact on Mountain revenue. The number of Skier Visits is affected by numerous factors, including the quality of the guest experience, the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, pricing policies, snow and weather conditions, overall industry trends, macroeconomic factors and the relative attractiveness of our resort offerings compared to competitive offerings.
"Revenue per Visit" is total Mountain revenue recorded during the ski season divided by total Skier Visits during such period. This metric excludes non-ski season revenue, which is not directly correlated to visitor growth. Revenue per Visit is influenced by our mix of guests. Destination guests are more likely to purchase ancillary products and services than regional guests and a higher percentage of destination guests in our skier mix typically increases Revenue per Visit.
"Effective ticket price" or "ETP" is determined by dividing Lift revenue recorded during the ski season by total Skier Visits. We measure average ticket price during a given period by calculating our ETP. ETP is influenced by lift product mix and other factors. Season pass products offer unlimited access, subject to certain exceptions and restrictions, for a fixed upfront payment. As a result, season passholders skiing more frequently in a given fiscal period as compared to the corresponding prior year period will result in downward pressure on ETP. This downward pressure on ETP is more pronounced in ski seasons with higher snowfall, as season pass holders increase their usage. Conversely, single- and multi-day lift ticket products are priced per visit, and therefore a greater proportion of use of these products will tend to increase our ETP. Other factors that influence ETP include the number of complimentary or special promotional passes issued by us, the average age of skiers visiting our resorts, the volume of group or promotional sales and the relative volume of products sold through different sales channels, including our call centers, our ecommerce platform and our network of third-party online and traditional travel companies. Products sold at the ticket counter, which has been a declining percentage of Lift revenue in recent years, are typically priced higher relative to other channels because walk-up customers are our least price sensitive guests.
"Revenue per available room" or "RevPAR" is determined by dividing gross room revenue during a given period by the number of units available to guests during such period.
"Average Daily Rate" or "ADR" is determined by dividing gross room revenue during a given period by the number of occupied units under management during such period. ADR is a measure commonly used in the lodging industry, as well as by our management, to track lodging pricing trends. ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a lodging operation. ADR is affected by numerous factors, including the quality of the guest experience, the effectiveness of our
marketing efforts, snow and weather conditions, overall industry trends, macroeconomic factors and the relative attractiveness of our resort offerings compared to competitive offerings.

Mountain revenue
Mountain revenue increased in the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, primarily attributable to a higher number of Skier Visits at our Eastern resorts. In fiscal 2016, Eastern resorts experienced unseasonably warm weather and lack of snowfall. In fiscal 2017, Eastern resorts have had more normal weather conditions.
Mountain revenue increased in the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015, primarily attributable to a higher number of Skier Visits at our Eastern resorts. In fiscal 2016, Eastern resorts experienced unseasonably warm weather and lack of snowfall. In fiscal 2017, Eastern resorts have had more normal weather conditions. Additionally, lodging revenue increased due to more room nights and higher ADR at our Eastern resorts as a result of higher summer visitation.
Lift revenue
Lift revenue increased in the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a higher number of Skier Visits at our Eastern resorts and an increase in season pass and frequency product revenue. Season pass and frequency product revenue for the 2016/2017 ski season increased 23.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in the prior year and comprised 48.0% and 50.7% of Lift revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, with the East returning to more normal weather conditions. Season pass revenue, for which cash is generally collected prior to the ski season, is recognized based on historical usage patterns. Frequency product revenue is recognized as used, and unused portions ("breakage") are recognized based on historical usage for each frequency product.
As our ski resorts opened during our second quarter, the results of the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 for Lift revenue are largely the same as the results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
