COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Continued growth with increased margins and a stable booking situation ahead of the coming winter season

It is with great pleasure that we present yet another action-packed year for SkiStar. Our work delivering memorable mountain experiences has continued, and we can sum up the year as having more satisfied guests, as well as a record number of both skier and activity days. I would like to express a big thank you to all our employees for all the hard work they have put in during the year. Our growth has continued, with new revenue streams and visits by more international guests, and an increased operating profit. We have thereby strengthened our position as Scandinavia's leading player in mountain tourism all year round.

Fourth quarter

We continue our long-term work on building up a year-round business. Growth has been somewhat slower than expected, as the way the market operates differs compared with the winter season. At the same time, it is pleasing that we have increased the number of guests at our destinations, thereby increasing sales. The acquisition of Trysilguidene at the beginning of the financial year has made a wider range of activities available for our guests during the quarter. We are seeing that more guests than ever have chosen to buy our annual SkiStar All Year passes, which have been used extensively during the summer. Sales in our Sports goods stores continued to increase during the quarter, not only in our physical units, with the increased number of visitors at our destinations, but also online. Despite a cautious property market, we completed several successful deals within our property exploitation operations by the end of the year, which was according to plan. Net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 339 million. Adjusted for non-recurring items, net sales increased by SEK 10 million, corresponding to 3 percent. At the same time our operating profit/loss fell to SEK -279 million (-239). An adjustment to the accounting policies for our holding in the joint venture Skiab Invest had an effect of SEK -19 million on earnings for the quarter.

Full year

We started the financial year with a capital market day at which we presented our updated mid-term financial targets and clarified our strategy to achieve these. It is, therefore, especially pleasing to be able to report strong organic growth of ten percent, which has been driven in particular by keen interest in mountain holidays among both Scandinavian and international guests. Together with improved margins, this marks an important first step towards achieving our set

targets. Net sales increased by SEK 398 million to SEK 4,679 million (4,281), with all revenue streams growing during the year. Operating profit increased by SEK 124 million to SEK 740 million (616), corresponding to 20 percent. The operating margin improved to 16 percent (14) during the financial year. The changed accounting policies regarding Skiab Invest had an effect of SEK -19 million on earnings. Cash flow from operating activities also increased and amounted to SEK 1,084 million (669) during the financial year, an increase of SEK 415 million. The improvement was chiefly due to the stronger profit for the period and more efficient management of working capital during the year. The increase in net sales and operating profit confirms that our strategic investments in developing and future-proofing our destinations in both Sweden and Norway are bearing fruit. During the year, we continued to invest in improved guest experiences with, for example, new lifts in Hemsedal, Sälen and Are, as well as in sustainability and digitalisation. This involved fully electrifying the operations at SkiStar Hammarbybacken in Stockholm and introducing AI-based queue time management of our lifts via the SkiStar app. These efforts are a part of our work to meet the guests' high expectations of quality and service, while also streamlining our operations.

Our increased number of guests during the winter season is also reflected in the record number of skier days, which grew +7 percent, surpassing 6.1 million skier days.

Booking situation ahead of the winter

Ahead of the 2024/25 winter season, we have a stable booking situation, measured as the number of overnight stays booked through SkiStar's mediated accommodation, of +/- 0 percent compared with the previous year. This is therefore SkiStar's second-best booking situation for this time of the year. We started sales before the year's winter season began with record early promotions, mainly in Denmark, which resulted in many early bookings. After that, the weak economic situation and the summer weather affected the booking pattern during the quarter, with a later intake of bookings, mainly in the Swedish market. The latest interest rate reductions and the government's stimulus package have had a positive effect, as they have made it possible for households to prioritise their mountain holidays.

As part of our strong commitment to sustainability, we continue to develop this area and have taken the initiative to bring together the entire international industry and lead discussions on how we can

together jointly drive sustainability initiatives in our sector. Our ambition is to continue to develop SkiStar into the leading player in mountain tourism and holiday experiences in Scandinavia. I look forward with great confidence to the upcoming winter season and the opportunities it will bring. Together with our committed employees, we will continue to create memorable mountain experiences for our ģuests.

Stefan Sjöstrand, CEO

REVENUE AND EARNINGS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

JUNE 2023 - AUGUST 2024

Revenue in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 340 million (345). Net sales decreased by SEK 6 million to SEK 339 million (345), a decline of 2 percent compared with the same period of the previous year. The previous year's net sales included electricity subsidiaries of SEK 16 million. Adjusted for electricity subsidiaries, sales in the quarter increased by SEK 10 million, corresponding to 3 percent. The increase in sales came mainly from Sporting goods stores, SkiPass and the sale of exploitation assets. At the same time, the processing of re-invoicing of purchases was changed, which reduced net sales by SEK 13 million compared with the previous year. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a negative effect of SEK -5 million (-4) on net sales. Organic growth, excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions, was negative in the quarter and amounted to SEK -5 million, which corresponds to -1 percent. Adjusted for the electricity subsidies, organic growth amounted to 3 percent.

Operating profit/loss fell by SEK 40 million, or 17 percent, to SEK -279 million (-239). In connection with the annual accounts, accounting for the interest in the joint venture Skiab Invest has been reviewed. The properties in Skiab Invest were previously classified as investment properties and measured at fair value. From the fourth quarter, with retrospective restatement, adjustments have been made from Skiab Invest's financial statements and these properties are instead reported as owner-occupied properties and recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. This is to achieve consistency with how SkiStar reports its own owned properties. The effect of the changed accounting policies resulted in increased depreciation of SEK -19 million in the quarter. The comparative quarter has been restated with a negative earnings effect of SEK -8 million, which was reported in profit/loss from investments in joint ventures and associates. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a positive effect of SEK 4 million (1) on operating profit. Operating profit/loss includes profit/loss of SEK -24 million (-3) from associates/joint ventures and profit/loss of SEK 76 million (63) from plot and land sales and the sale of shares in tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club. The reduced operating profit in the fourth quarter is mainly attributable to the decline

in earnings in Skiab Invest as a result of negative currency effects and remeasurement of interest derivatives, as well as the fact that the previous year's profit/loss included exploitation gains of SEK 10 million. SkiStar has also had increased costs for advertising, as well as repair and maintenance.

Net financial items in the quarter amounted to SEK -56 million (-28), a decline of SEK 28 million. The main items affecting net financial items were as follows. Interest income amounted to SEK 1 million (1) and interest expenses came to SEK -32 million (-32), including lease-related interest of SEK -11 million (-11) under IFRS 16. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK -27 million (8). Exchange losses amounted to SEK -57 million (-35) and exchange gains amounted to SEK 59 million (30). The increase in exchange gains and losses was primarily attributable to intra-Group balances. The Group's profit after tax amounted to SEK -273 million (-216), a decline of SEK -27 million, or -26 percent.

Operation of Mountain Resorts

Revenue was SEK 178 million (175). Net sales amounted to SEK 177 million (175), an increase of SEK 2 million, or 1 percent, on the same period in the previous year. Operating profit/loss fell by SEK 39 million, or 17 percent, to SEK -271 million (-232). In the quarter, sales in Sporting goods stores increased by SEK 10 million and amounted to SEK 48 million, which was the biggest revenue category within the segment in the fourth quarter. Online sales have increased the most and account for SEK 8 million of the increase, but sales in physical stores also increased by SEK 2 million. SkiPass sales also increased in the quarter and amounted to SEK 32 million (25), an increase of SEK 7 million. The increased SkiPass sales are attributable to increased sales of the SkiStar All Year pass, for which revenue is accrued over twelve months. During the quarter, the destinations had an increased number of guests with season passes compared with previous years. This guest category has largely used their own accommodation, but hired bicycles, which is why rental revenues increased by SEK 3 million in the quarter. The accommodation revenue has decreased by SEK 4 million in the quarter which is attributable to Are hosting the O-Ringen event last year and Hemsedal having fewer bus journeys that stopped for overnight stays. External expenses increased by SEK 31 million to SEK -358 million (-327) during the quarter. The rise was

mainly due to higher repair and maintenance costs, advertising costs and personnel costs; the latter a result of the acquisition of Trysilguidene. Depreciation amounted to SEK 85 million (73), an increase of SEK 12 million, which is a result of the higher rate of investment in recent years.

Property Development and Exploitation

Revenue was SEK 126 million (132) and net sales amounted to SEK 120 million (126). The quarter included exploitation sales of SEK 118 million (113). During the quarter, properties were sold in both Sälen and Åre, which resulted in exploitation gains totalling SEK 76 million (63). The work on developing new detailed plans for future property projects has proceeded according to plan and majority of projects are ready to be started when deemed appropriate. External operating expenses have decreased, mainly as a result of changes in the processing of re-invoicing of purchases during the year, which reduced costs in the quarter by SEK 13 million. Profit/loss from investments in associates and joint ventures amounted to SEK -8 million (17). Operating profit amounted to SEK 57 million (66), a decline of SEK 9 million.

Operation of Hotels

Revenue was SEK 43 million (45). Net sales were SEK 42 million (45). In the period, accommodation revenue increased by SEK 1 million and amounted to SEK 14 million (13), restaurant revenue was unchanged and amounted to SEK 15 million, while other revenue decreased. The positive cost development from previous quarters has continued and the external costs have decreased in the quarter. The costs are mainly for depreciation, repairs and maintenance as well as personnel costs, which decreased in the quarter. The work that was done in previous quarters to change the way of working to adapt personnel costs to demand has continued to have a positive effect in the quarter. Operating profit/loss increased by SEK 7 million to SEK -50 million (-57).

REVENUE AND FARNINGS IN THE FUIL YEAR

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

SEPTEMBER 2023 - AUGUST 2024

Revenue was SEK 4,693 million (4,304). Net sales amounted to SEK 4,679 million (4,281), an increase of SEK 398 million, or 9 percent, on the same period in the previous year. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a negative effect of SEK -56 million (-16), or -1 percent, on net sales. Acquired growth of SEK 33 million, corresponding to 1 percent, refers to the acquisition of Trysilguidene, and organic growth, excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions, amounted to SEK 421 million, corresponding to 10 percent. The increase in sales in the twelve-month period came mainly from SkiPass and Sporting goods stores, but other revenue categories also improved as a result of larger numbers of guests at the destinations during most of the winter season. The number of sold skier days and activity days amounted to 6,372,990, an increase of 437,845 days, or 7 percent.

Operating profit increased by SEK 124 million, or 20 percent, to SEK 740 million (616). The operating margin during the twelve-month period was 16 percent (14). In the fourth quarter, the accounting policies regarding properties in the associate Skiab Invest were changed which resulted in increased depreciation of SEK -19 million in the quarter. Adjusted operating profit after this change amounted to SEK 759 million. The previous year's operating profit has been restated with a positive earnings effect of SEK 12 million. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a negative effect of SEK -9 million (-2), or -1 percent, on operating profit. Operating profit includes profit/loss of SEK -20 million (14) from associates/joint ventures and profit/loss of SEK 67 million (75) from plot and land sales and the sale of shares in tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club. The improved operating profit was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and good control of external costs.

Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -143 million (-84), a decline of SEK 59 million, mainly due to the following items. Interest income amounted to SEK 5 million (5) and interest expenses were SEK -123 million (-99), including lease-related interest of SEK -43 million (-41) under IFRS 16. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK -47 million (1). Exchange gains amounted to SEK 175 million (91) and exchange losses amounted to SEK -165 million (-80). Net financial items include an accounting capital gain of SEK 15 million on the phased acquisition of Trysilguidene AS. The Group's profit after tax amounted to SEK 473 million (414), an increase of SEK 59 million or 14 percent.

Operation of Mountain Resorts

Revenue was SEK 3,917 million (3,560). Net sales amounted to SEK 3,902 million (3,537), an increase of SEK 365 million, or 10 percent, on the same period in the previous year. Most of the increase in sales occurred in the second quarter and was partly driven by an increased number of guests, mainly from Denmark and outside Scandinavia as well as by price. In terms of sales, the increases came from SkiPass, SEK 211 million, Sporting goods stores, SEK 93 million, Ski school, SEK 37 million, mainly driven by the acquisition of Trysilguidene whose sales amounted to SEK 33 million, and Accommodation, SEK 26 million. The increased sales, mainly within Sporting goods stores, have meant that costs directly attributable to sales, such as merchandise and freight, have increased. Personnel costs have increased during the year, partly as a result of annual contractual increases and partly due to the acquisition of Trysilguidene. Operating profit increased by SEK 104 million, or 17 percent, to SEK 720 million (616).

Property Development and Exploitation

Revenue amounted to SEK 302 million (287) and net sales amounted to SEK 260 million (247), an increase of SEK 13 million, or 1 percent, compared with the same period of the previous year. During the twelvemonth period, exploitation revenue amounted to SEK 245 million (222) and came mainly from sales in Hemsedal in the second quarter, and Are and Salen in the fourth quarter. Capital gains from exploitation activities were SEK 67 million (75). Costs have decreased which is partly due to the write-down of shares in Vacation Club, which were included in the previous year's results, and a change to the processing of re-invoicing of purchases during the year, which meant that these costs have decreased. Profit/loss from investments in joint ventures and associates amounted to SEK -17 million (11). The decline of SEK 28 million came mainly from Skiab Invest and was attributable to the fact that the previous year's result included capital gains on the sale of properties, while corresponding capital gains do not appear in Skiab Invest's profit/loss for the year. Operating profit fell by SEK 7 million, or 22 percent, to SEK 25 million (32).

Operation of Hotels

Revenue was SEK 518 million (498). Net sales increased by SEK 20 million, or 4 percent, to SEK 517 million (497). The increased sales came from accommodation and arose during the second quarter when demand was higher than in previous years. During the year, the focus on streamlining the business has had an effect on the segment's costs, which

decreased during the financial year. The reduction is mainly in direct purchases and personnel costs. Operating profit/loss increased by SEK 27 million to SEK -5 million (-32).

FINANCIAL POSITIONS. TAXES AND INVESTMENTS ETC.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital was SEK 1,084 million (669) for the year, an increase of SEK 415 million. The improvement was mainly due to the stronger profit for the period and more efficient management of working capital during the year.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -375 million (-853). The change was mainly due to lower investments during the year and increased profit from the sale of non-current assets and exploitation assets. Acquisitions of subsidiaries generated a cash flow item of SEK -57 million (-29), mainly attributable to the acquisition of Trysilguidene. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -714 million (191). Much of the twelve-month-period's operating cash flow was used to repay the previously utilised overdraft facility.

Liquidity and financing

The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 25 million (31) at the end of August. Unused credit facilities amounted to SEK 176 million (313). The Group's total available liquidity at the end of the twelve-month period was SEK 201 million (344). Interest-bearing liabilities excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 1,939 million (2,256), a decline of SEK 317 million. At the start of the financial year, these liabilities totalled SEK 2,256 million. Interest-bearing liabilities including IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 4,040 million (4,320), a decline of SEK 280 million compared with the previous year. Total interest-bearing liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 amount to SEK 2,101 million (2,064) and include lease liabilities of SEK 1,393 million (1,485) to the partly-owned joint venture holding Skiab Invest. The average interest rate during the period, including interest rate swaps but excluding IFRS 16, was 4.38 percent (3.47). Net financial debt excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 1,864 million (2,120) at the end of August, a decline of SEK 256 million compared with the previous year. Net financial debt including IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 3,966 million (4,184), a decline of SEK 218 million. Net liability in relation to operating profit/loss before depreciation/amortisation, exclusive of IFRS 16 amounted to 1.7 (2.6) The equity/assets ratio increased to 42 percent (40). The equity/assets ratio excluding IFRS 16 was 56 percent (53).

lax

Tax for the year amounted to SEK 124 million (118) and was largely attributable to current tax.

Investments

Investments during the financial year amounted to SEK 602 million (860) gross and SEK 375 million (853) net. The difference between gross and net is divestments. Depreciation and amortisation for the same period amounted to SEK -528 million (-475). The increase is mainly explained by the higher rate of investment in previous years.

Personnel

The average number of employees was 1,584 (1,553), an increase of 31 from the previous year. Personnel costs amounted to SEK 991 million (921). The increases were mainly due to the acquisition of Trysilguidene, the early start to the season and annual contractual increases.

Related-party transactions

Ekhaga Utveckling AB, which is the main owner of SkiStar with 47 percent of the votes and 24 percent of the capital as of 31 August 2024, is also the main owner of Peab, with which SkiStar has a business relationship. During the twelve-month period, purchases were made from Peab amounting to SEK 32 million (25). Outstanding liabilities to Peab totalled SEK 2 million (0). Sales to Peab amounted SEK 0 million (1) and the outstanding receivable was SEK 0 million (0). Purchases from associates during the twelve-month period amounted to SEK 152 million (181) and outstanding liabilities to associates totalled SEK 17 million (26). Sales to associates amounted to SEK 8 million (64) and receivables from associates amounted to SEK 22 million (98), SEK 20 million (74) of which related to loans to associates. Current lease liabilities to associates under IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 1,393 million (1,485), and right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 1,322 million (1,436). In addition to the Group's related-party transactions, the Parent Company carries out transactions with subsidiaries.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales amounted to SEK 3,101 million (2,898) and operating profit was SEK 385 million (365) in the twelve-month period. Net investments amounted to SEK 330 million (496).

Looking ahead to winterseason 2024/25

Looking ahead to winter season 2024/25 we see a stable demand for ski holidays, with a booking situation, measured as the number of overnight stays booked through SkiStar, of +/-0 percent compared with the same

period in the previous year. The weak currencies in Sweden and Norway continue to benefit affordability for our foreign guests. SkiStar continues to invest in guest experiences in accordance with the previously communicated plan of totally SEK 330 million, and much of this relates to continued investment in more efficient snow production and the first stage of a project to build a new lift in Trysil.

Sustainability and responsible entrepreneurship are an integral part of SkiStar's strategy, business model, governance and culture. SkiStar's strategic framework is built on three foundations: safe & secure, sustainability and employees & culture. These foundations permeate everything we do and are a cornerstone of our business. SkiStar's sustainability focus areas are Activity & Recreation, Ecosystem & Impact and Dialogue & Interaction.

Note 1 Accounting principles

This Year-End Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company's accounts were prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policies and methods of calculation applied for the Group and Parent Companv are the same as those applied in preparing the most recent annual accounts and consolidated financial statements.

Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires Company management to make accounting estimates and judgements, as well as to make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Certain statements contained in this report are forward-looking and reflect the current assessments of the Company and Board of Directors as regards future circumstances. None of the new IFRS standards, amended standards and interpretations applicable from first of September 2023 have had a material impact on the financial reporting of the Group or the Parent Company. No new or changed standards have been applied prematurely.

From the first of September 2023, hedge accounting has been applied in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial instruments regarding the Group's electricity derivatives. This means that changes in value are recognised in other comprehensive income.

In connection with the annual accounts, the Group has reviewed its accounting for equity interests with regards to the interest in the joint venture Skiab Invest AB, for which the equity method is used. IAS 28 requires an entity to apply the same accounting policies for similar transactions that it applies when recognising its interest in a joint venture. Based on this, adjustments may need to be made to the financial statements of the joint venture in which the interest is being held and which are used for reporting purposes. In the SkiStar Group, the owned properties are classified as owner-occupied properties, which means that they are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Since the properties in Skiab Invest AB are used by the SkiStar Group for its own operations, the assessment has been made, in order to meet the requirements of IAS 28, that these properties should also be reported as owner-occupied properties. As Skiab Invest AB recognises its properties at fair value, SkiStar has decided to make the required adjustments in applying the equity method for this holding. In accordance with IAS 8 and the error correction approach described therein, the comparative amounts and opening balances for the 2022/23 financial year have been restated, see note 6 for details and amounts.

From first of September 2023 the Group and the Parent Company apply net accounting of its overnight currency swaps. Previously gross accounting was applied. The comparative amounts for the 2022/23 financial year have been restated.
