COMMENTS FROM THE CEO Great interest in mountain holidays in Scandinavia - increased international demand

As we sum up the winter season and the third quarter, we see that we have been able to offer our guests a record-breaking long winter season with a lot of skiing and newly-groomed slopes from an early start in November until the end of the season in April/May at all destinations. We continue our growth. In the third quarter, revenue increased by six percent, SEK 81 million, and operating profit increased compared with the previous year by SEK 65 million to SEK 418 million, which means that we can continue to invest in the development of Scandinavia's five biggest mountain destinations. SkiStar's five destinations offer everything a guest needs in the form of products and services. In addition, our long-term work on developing our skiing areas and making them snow-secure has now created greater interest from international guests. It is, therefore, pleasing to see that this year's increased volume of guests comes from international guests, primarily from Denmark, but also the UK, the Netherlands and Germany. Growth from the foreign market has resulted in increased sales, especially in the ski rental and ski school product categories. Our ski school business broke the record with 108,000 students (up 4.5 percent) during the winter season, making SkiStar the world leader in this business. The acquisition of Trysilguidene for the season, which includes running the ski school operations in Trysil, made it possible for us to offer our own ski schools at all destinations. The changed mix of guests, with more foreign guests than in previous years, also means that we are growing across all weeks and not just during our holiday periods, which is pleasing. The number of skiing days totalled 6,106,000 (5,683 000), up 7 percent compared to last year.

The focus is, and has been, on developing our business. It is especially pleasing to see the continued growth of our retail business. During the quarter, we increased sales by ten percent (SEK 8 million) compared with the same period last year, and we continued to grow online through skistarshop.com. It is particularly pleasing that SkiStar's own clothing brand EQPE continued to grow by 32 percent (SEK 13 million) during the quarter.

While our revenue has increased, we also saw an increase in personnel costs. These are mainly attributable to acquired operations, with the acquisition of Trysilguidene, as well as the withdrawal of lower social security costs for young people. There has been good cost control with lower costs overall which, together with the increased sales in our core operation, is the main reason for the increased profit.

Our important focus on sustainability and the preservation of white winters continues. During the spring, we took a significant step in our transition to a fossil-free business by starting a pilot project in Stockholm, Hammarbybacken to run a fully fossil free skiing operation. This marks an important milestone for us as a company in our work to achieve our climate targets for 2030. Another area that we focused on during the quarter is to strengthen diversity in our organisation. During the spring, we have proactively visited schools in selected areas to recruit new seasonal employees. This has been a very successful initiative that has so far generated employment for around 100 people and has helped us consolidate our position as one of Sweden's largest employers for young people. Our long-term work in property development has continued during the quarter. The increasingly long permit processes make it important to continuously add new detailed plans that are ready when we deem the time right to start projects. In a restrained market, this is prioritized to add value within the exploitation operation. We now look forward to the summer season with lots of activities at all our destinations. Investment in our activity pass, which offers a wide range of activities in one and the same pass, continues. We are opening up cycling on trails and in the mountains, climbing parks, mountain coasters and summer skiing, as well as organising events and camps.

Investments of approximately SEK 330 million are planned prior to the next winter season. An important part concerns continued investments in more efficient snow production as well as the first stage of a project to build a new chairlift in Trysil. This mainly consists of replacement and modernisation investments, but also includes a new SkiStar Snow Park in Trysil.

We see a very strong demand for holidays in Scandinavia this coming winter. We are, therefore, very happy to be able present a booking situation for the coming winter season, measured as the number of overnight stays booked through SkiStar, that is nine percent better

than at the same time last year. This increase is primarily driven by early bookings by foreign guests, who look forward to combining family time with visiting our fine, snow-secure mountain environment in northern Europe. This means that we look forward with confidence to another good winter season.

Stefan Sjöstrand, CEO

It is pleasing to see that this year's increased volume of guests comes from international guests, who not only increases our sales but also means that we are growing across all weeks.

REVENUE AND EARNINGS IN THE THIRD QUARTER

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

MARCH 2023 - MAY 2024

Revenue in the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,493 million (1,411). Net sales amounted to SEK 1,490 million (1,409), an increase of SEK 81 million, or 6 percent, on the same period in the previous year. The increase in sales in the quarter is mainly from SkiPass, ski school and sporting goods stores. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a positive effect of SEK 4 million (-36) on net sales. Organic growth, excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions, amounted to SEK 66 million, which corresponds to 5 percent.

Operating profit increased by SEK 65 million, or 18 percent, to SEK 418 million (353). The operating margin was 28 percent (25). Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate negatively affected operating profit by SEK -1 million (7). Operating profit includes profits from associates/joint ventures of SEK 5 million (-22) and profits from plot and land sales and the sale of shares in tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club of SEK -3 million (1). The improved operating profit was largely attributable primarily to the rise in revenue and a good control of marketing and energy costs.

Net financial items in the quarter amounted to SEK -23 million (-26), an increase of SEK 3 million, driven mainly by the following items. Interest income amounted to SEK 2 million (2) and interest expenses came to SEK -26 million (-23), including lease-related interest of SEK -11 million (-10) under IFRS 16. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK -3 million (-11). Exchange losses amounted to SEK -55 million (-40) and exchange gains amounted to SEK 59 million (45). The increase in exchange gains and losses was attributable primarily to intra-Group balances. Consolidated profit after tax increased by SEK 44 million, or 16 percent, to SEK 313 million (269).

Operation of Mountain Resorts

Revenue was SEK 1,302 million (1,245). Net sales increased SEK 56 million to SEK 1,299 million (1,243), an increase of 5 percent on the same period last year. Operating profit increased by SEK 14 million, or 4 percent, to SEK 399 million (385). The increase in sales was attributable to March when the proportion of guests from Denmark, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany continued to increase compared with the previous year. Despite continued good conditions at our destinations in April, the number of guests declined after Easter, resulting in a slightly weaker end to the winter season than in the previous year. The increase in sales in the quarter primarily came from SkiPass which amounted to SEK 692 million (646), an increase of SEK 46 million, corresponding to 7 percent. Sales in our sporting goods stores continued to increase in the third quarter, but at a slightly lower rate than the previous quarter, and amounted to SEK 92 million (84), an increase of SEK 8 million or 10 percent. The entire increase came from online sales, which increased by 34 percent compared with the previous year. Our own brand, EQPE, continues to increase its share of products sold, which improved the margin for the quarter. Sales of activities, primarily at the ski school, grew by SEK 11 million, or 50 percent, to SEK 33 million (22). The entire increase comes from the acquisition of Trysilguidene. Revenue from accommodation and ski rentals during the third quarter remains unchanged compared with the previous year. Other external expenses increased by SEK 24 million to SEK 794 million (770). The rise was mainly due to higher personnel costs partly as the result of the acquisition of Trysilguidene and the increased costs of rents and leases following the increased sales. Depreciation amounted to SEK 96 million (86), an increase of SEK 10 million, which is a result of the higher rate of investment in recent years.

Property Development and Exploitation

Revenue was SEK 42 million (12) and net sales amounted to SEK 30 million (3). The increased exploitation sales are partly explained by exploitation of plots in Are that was carried out during the quarter. Realised gain from exploitation was SEK -3 million (1). After the period end another exploitation plot in Are has been sold resulting in a realised gain of SEK 7 million. The continuous work on developing new detailed plans has proceeded and the majority of projects are ready to be started. External operating expenses have decreased, mainly due to the previous year's expenses of SEK -28 million including an impairment loss of SEK -13 million on the assets of the Vacation Club. Profit/loss from associates/joint ventures improved by SEK 24 million and amounted to SEK -2 million (-26). The decrease is due mainly to the revaluation of properties in the Skiab Invest Group carried out in the previous year. Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK -9 million (-49), with a reduced loss of SEK 40 million.

Operation of Hotels

Revenue was SEK 162 million (164). Net sales remained unchanged and amounted to SEK 162 million (162). In the period, accommodation revenue increased by SEK 4 million and amounted to SEK 103 million (99), while other income decreased. Operating profit increased by SEK 11 million to SEK 29 million (18) and is attributable to the lower external costs which are an outcome of the efficiencies carried out in the business. Depreciation amounted to SEK 35 million (30), an increase of SEK 5 million, which is a result of recent years' renovations.

REVENUE AND EARNINGS IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS

THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE

SEPTEMBER 2023 - MAY 2024

Revenue was SEK 4,353 million (3,958). Net sales climbed SEK 404 million to SEK 4,340 million (3,936), an increase of 10 percent on the same period last year. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a negative effect of SEK -51 million (-12), or -1 percent, on net sales. Acquired growth amounted to SEK 29 million, corresponding to 1 percent, and organic growth, excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions, amounted to SEK 425 million, which corresponds to 11 percent. The increase in sales in the nine-month period came mainly from SkiPass and the sporting goods stores, but other sales categories also improved as a result of larger numbers of guests at the destinations during most of the winter season.

Operating profit increased by SEK 184 million, or 22 percent, to SEK 1,019 million (834). The operating margin was 23 percent (21) in the nine-month period. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a negative effect of SEK -13 million (-3), or -1 percent, on operating profit. Operating profit includes profit/loss from associates/joint ventures of SEK 4 million (-2) and profit/loss from plot and land sales and the sale of shares in tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club of SEK -10 million (12). The improved operating profit was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and good control of external costs.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -87 million (-56), a decline of SEK -31 million, mainly due to the following items. Interest income amounted to SEK 4 million (3) and interest expenses amounted to SEK -91 million (-68), including lease-related interest of SEK -31 million (-30) under IFRS 16. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK -20 million (-7). Exchange gains amounted to SEK 116 million (61) and exchange losses amounted to SEK -108 million (-46). Net financial items include an accounting gain of SEK 15 million from the phased acquisition of Trysilguidene. The Group's profit after tax amounted to SEK 746 million (609), an increase of SEK 137

million or 22 percent.

Operation of Mountain Resorts

Revenue was SEK 3,738 million (3,385). Net sales amounted to SEK 3,725 million (3,362), an increase of SEK 363 million, or 11 percent, on the same period in the previous year. Most of the increase in sales occurred in the second quarter, driven by price but also by the increased number of guests, mainly from Denmark and outside Scandinavia. In terms of sales, the increases came from SkiPass SEK 204 million, sporting goods stores SEK 83 million, ski school SEK 33 million, driven by the acquisition of Trysilguidene, and accommodation SEK 31 million. The increased sales have meant that costs directly attributable to sales have increased, such as merchandise and freight. Personnel costs have also increased, partly as a result of the acquisition of Trysilguidene. Operating profit increased by SEK 143 million, or 17 percent, to SEK 991 million (848).

Property Development and Exploitation

Revenue was SEK 176 million (155) and net sales amounted to SEK 141 million (122). During the nine-month period, exploitation revenue amounted to SEK 127 million (109) and came mainly from sales in Hemsedal in the second quarter, and Are in the third quarter. Capital gains from exploitation transactions amounted to SEK -10 million (12), mainly driven by increased construction costs for the Fjellnest project in Hemsedal. Costs have decreased, which is partly due to the write-down of SEK 13 million included in the previous year. Operating profit/loss increased by SEK 2 million to SEK -32 million (-34).

Operation of Hotels

Revenue was SEK 476 million (453). Net sales increased by SEK 23 million to SEK 475 million (452). During the first six months of the year, sales were strong but in April demand slowed and accumulated revenue increased by 5 percent. During the year, the focus has been on making the operation of the business more efficient, which had an effect on direct purchases, which decreased. Operating profit increased by SEK 40 million to SEK 60 million (20).

DEFINITIONS

FINANCIAL POSITIONS. TAXES AND INVESTMENTS ETC.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital was SEK 1,318 million (917) for the period. The improvement was chiefly 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 -433 million (-628). The change was mainly due to the sale of two subsidiaries in Norway in December and reduced investments in property, plant and equipment. Acquisitions of subsidiaries generated a cash flow item of SEK -56 million (-29), mainly attributable to the acquisition of Trysilguidene. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -889 million (-272). Much of the nine-month period's operating cash flow was used to repay the previous overdraft.

Liquidity and financing

The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 26 million (39) at the end of May. Unused credit facilities amounted to SEK 463 million (473). The Group's total available liquidity at the end of the nine-month period was SEK 490 million (512). Interest-bearing liabilities excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 1,704 million (1,747), a decrease of SEK 43 million. At the start of the financial year, these liabilities totalled SEK 2,256 million. Interest-bearing liabilities including IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 3,852 million (3,733), an increase of SEK 119 million from the previous year. Total interest-bearing liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 amount to SEK 2,148 million (1,986) and include lease liabilities of SEK 1,438 million (1,573) to the partly-owned joint venture holding Skiab Invest AB. The average interest rate during the period, including interest rate swaps but excluding IFRS 16, was 4.34 percent (3.29). Net financial debt excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 1,628 million (1,657) at the end of May, a decline of SEK 29 million compared with the previous year. Net financial debt including IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 3,776 million (3,643), an increase of SEK 133 million. The equity/assets ratio increased to 45 percent (43). The equity/assets ratio excluding IFRS 16 was 60 percent (57).

Tax

Tax for the period amounted to SEK 186 million (169) and was largely attributable to current tax.

Investments

Investments for the period amounted to SEK 554 million (635) gross and SEK 433 million (628) net. The difference between gross and net is the divestment of financial assets and property, plant and equipment. Depreciation and amortisation for the same period amounted to SEK -399 million (-351). The increase is mainly explained by the higher rate of investment in previous years.

Personnel

The average number of employees was 1,818 (1,767), an increase of 51 from the previous year. Personnel costs amounted to SEK 842 million (776). The increases were mainly due to the acquisition of Trysilguidene and the early start to the season.

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 May 2024, is also the main owner of Peab with which SkiStar has a business relationship. During the period, purchases were made from Peab amounting to SEK 30 million (26). The outstanding liability to Peab was SEK 0 million (1). Sales to Peab totalled SEK 0 (1) million and the outstanding receivable was SEK 0 million (0). Purchases from associates during the nine-month period amounted to SEK 143 million (169) and the outstanding liability to associates amounted to SEK 19 million (16). Sales to associates totalled SEK 6 million (6) and net receivables from associates totalled SEK 20 million (21), SEK 20 (21) of which related to loans to associates. Current lease liability to associates under IFRS 16 amounts to SEK 1,438 million (1,573), and right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 1,369 million (1,553). In addition to the Group's related-party transactions, the Parent Company carries out transactions with subsidiaries. Disclosures of related-party transactions and a description of their nature can be found in note 35 of the 2022/23 Annual Report.

Parent Company

The Parent Company generated net sales of SEK 2,885 million (2,668) and operating profit of SEK 584 million (507) in the nine-months period. Net investments amounted to SEK 262 million (311).

Outlook for 2023/24

All our destinations have changed to spring/summer destinations, and SkiStar continues the transition to a year-round operation. The investment in our summer pass, loaded with the entire mountain's range of activities in one activity pass, continues. In June we are opening up for cycling on trails and in the mountains, climbing parks, mountain coasters, summer skiing as well as events and camps.

Looking ahead to winterseason 2024/25

Despite the state of the economy and the difficult assessment of how it affects the household finances, we see a continued increased demand for ski holidays for the winter, with a booking rate, measured as the number of overnight stays booked through SkiStar, of +9 percent compared with the same period in the previous year. The weak currencies in Sweden and Norway continue to benefit both domestic tourism and affordability for our foreign guests. Agreed operating investments for the next business year amount to SEK 330 million. Much of this relates to continued investment in more efficient snow production and the first stage of a project to build a new chairlift in Trysil. These consists mainly of replacement investments and modernizations, but also a new SkiStar Snow Park in Trysil.

SUSTAINABILITY

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.

News during the Quarter and the First Nine Months Activity & Recreation

· SkiStar wants more people to be able to enjoy the ski slopes, with a stable basic training that makes everyone feel safe and secure. During the winter season 2023/24, more than 108,000 (103,000) children and adults participated in SkiStar's ski school training. An increase of 4,5 percent compared to last season.

· To make it possible for more children to discover the mountains, skiing, the ski school and ski rentals are free for children up to the age of six during Valle's Winter Weeks. More than 39,829 (39,182) children attended SkiStar's ski schools during Valle's Winter Weeks during the 2022/23 winter season. An increase of 1,6 percent compared to last season.

Ecosystem & Impact

· Our collaboration with Keep Sweden Tidy and Keep Norway Tidy continued during the previous quarter. All SkiStar employees participated in a cleaning day at all destinations on 31 May and collected just over 8,6 tons of litter during the day, which was an increase of 6 percent compared with the previous year.

· Promoting a circular economy is an important aspect of SkiStar's ability to achieve its climate goals. SkiStar's accommodation agency and ski and bicycle rentals are two examples of circular parts of the operations. During the winter season, more than 367,000 (346,000) ski packages were rented out.

Dialogue & Interaction

· SkiStar has commenced a new long-term strategy of diversity and inclusion. The start of the new strategy was at a recruitment meeting in Hammarbybacken during the month of May. Over 300 youths took part and about fifty interviews took place during the day as well as over fifty digital interviews over the following days.

About the sustainability section of this Interim Report

This is a quarterly follow-up of SkiStar's sustainability work. The starting point is SkiStar's annual sustainability report. The sustainability section has not been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6, Section 1, of the Annual Accounts Act or the GRI guidelines and does not therefore address all issues.

NOTES

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 Company 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 forwardlooking 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 1 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, 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.

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Report, performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion
