• Strong demand for mountain holidays together with eased travel restrictions contributed to higher revenue in core operations. All destinations had record visitor numbers, both during the school holidays and in the periods between them. This has led to both increased number of skier days and record sales of all products linked to alpine skiing, such as the SkiPass, ski rental and sales from sporting goods outlets.
• Bookings for the rest of the winter season are nine percent higher than the 2018/19 seasons, i.e. pre-pandemic.

SkiStar reports its best half-year result ever: - Visitor and sales records behind the success
Cold temperatures in Scandinavia during the autumn meant we were able to produce a lot of snow and open the winter season as early as the end of November. Vemdalen came first, followed closely by all other destinations in early December.
As we summarise parts of the winter season and SkiStar's first six months of the 2021/22 financial year, it is extremely gratifying that we can report a profit before tax of SEK 573 million, SEK 434 million higher than last year and the best half-year result in the company's history. This was primarily driven by growth in our core operations, thanks to a record number of skiing visitors to our destinations. This means that we are also seeing a sharp increase in the number of skier days during the season so far – a total of 4.4 million – an increase of 43% compared with the same period last year.
We have also seen record sales of all products linked to alpine skiing, such as the SkiPass, ski rental and sales from sporting goods outlets, both physically, online and, not least of all, from our own brand EQPE, which increased sales by 73% during the past six months.
The fact that 9 percent of our guests were new is totally unique and bodes very well for the future. Furthermore, 22 percent of guests stated in our guest surveys that they had returned after a break of several years. The surveys also showed that 8 out of 10 guests had a very good overall impression of their stay, which contributed to a memorable mountain experience. Foreign visitors are back again, not least the Danish and Swedish guests who are so vital to the Norwegian destinations. Interest in SkiStar is increasing and our member's club, MySkiStar, is approaching 1.5 million members.
We are continuing to focus on sustainability and our new strategy. We are getting more people moving through alpine skiing thanks to try-out days for all local residents at our destinations during World Snow Day, as well as organising days for children and young people during the spring school holiday at Hammarbybacken in Stockholm. We are also maintaining our focus on sustainability by addressing problems with charging for guests who travel to our destinations by electric vehicle. Together with Audi and Jämtkraft, we set up temporary charging stations in Ljusdal during the spring school holidays,
which were much appreciated.
As part of our efforts to strengthen our position as the leading holiday organiser in Scandinavia, we completed the sale of our shares in St. Johann in Tirol during this period. This means that in the future we can fully invest in our home market in line with our updated strategy.
Just over half the winter season has passed, but it is possible that the best is yet to come, as late winter, together with Easter, usually shows the best side of our destinations with pleasant temperatures, radiant sun and lots of activities in our ski areas. We are continuing to see strong interest in visiting us: bookings for the remaining winter season, despite a late Easter, are up 9 percent compared to the same period in 2018/19, that is, before the pandemic.
In line with our strategy, we are increasing the rate of investment and intend to invest billions in the mountain resorts of the future. This year we already plan to invest SEK 555 million in all of our destinations. This will include modernising, weather-proofing and increasing the capacity of our ski systems in line with increased demand from guests and the need for more efficient and climate-adapted snow production.
Finally, the summer season will take over once again after the end of the winter season. We are continuing to invest in SkiStar Sports & Adventures to satisfy the strong and enduring staycation trend by offering an active holiday all year round in our fantastic Scandinavian mountain world.
Stefan Sjöstrand CEO
As we summarise parts of the winter season and SkiStar's first six months of the 2021/22 financial year, it is extremely gratifying that we can report the best half-year result in the company's history. This was primarily driven by growth in our core operations, thanks to a record number of skiing visitors to our destinations. "
Consolidated revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 2,195 (1,340) million, an increase of 64 percent compared with the previous year. Changes in the NOK/SEK and EUR/SEK exchange rates had an effect of SEK 36 million on revenue. Consolidated operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 936 (444) million. The improvement in operating profit is attributable to much higher revenue, which is an effect of open borders in Norway that allowed guests to return to our destinations there, and a sustained positive trend from the previous year for our destinations in Sweden. Changes in the NOK/SEK and EUR/SEK exchange rates had a positive effect of SEK 10 million on operating profit for the quarter. Profit from investments in associates and joint ventures increased to SEK 22 (6) million. This increase, when compared to the same quarter last year, is mainly explained by increased activity in Skiab Invest AB. Net financial items fell by SEK 18 million during the quarter to SEK -16 million (2). The change in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 9 million (12). Interest expenses amounted to SEK -16 million (-11); this increase can be attributed to the interest rate on lease liabilities related to the hotel segment. Exchange losses amounted to SEK -12 million (0) and interest income to SEK 3 million (1).
Consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK 752 (365) million, an increase of SEK 387 million, or 106 percent. Revenue from Operation of Mountain Resorts (including internal revenue) amounted to SEK 2,032 (1,312) million, with a profit of SEK 866 (424) million. Revenue from Property Development & Exploitation amounted to SEK 36 (54) million, with a loss of SEK 30 (18) million. Profit from exploitation activities related to plot and land sales and the sale of shares in tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club for the quarter amounted to SEK 8 (25) million. Other activities in Property Development & Exploitation are primarily related to the rental of accommodation to the Operation of Mountain Resorts segment and shares from associated companies that rent out accommodation. From 1 July 2021, SkiStar has expanded its operations to a third segment, Operation of Hotels. Revenue from Operation of Hotels for the second quarter amounted to SEK 165 million (0), with a profit of SEK 33 million (0).
During the second quarter, SkiStar sold all its shares in St. Johann to St. Johanner Bergbahnen Beteiligungs GmbH, instead of to the previously stated buyer, Schultz Gruppe, due to a decision in the approval process on which the transaction had been conditional. SkiStar received a repayment of EUR 15 million for shareholder loans totalling EUR 19.5 million paid to St. Johann and a cash purchase consideration of EUR 2. The transaction had a positive effect of SEK 16 million on SkiStar's operating profit in the second quarter, relating to the reversal of previous impairment, of which SEK 13 million refers to a reversed cumulative translation adjustment.
The Group's revenue for the period amounted to SEK 2,353 (1,496) million, an increase of 57 percent from the previous year. Changes in the NOK/SEK and EUR/SEK exchange rates had a positive effect of SEK 37 million on revenue. The Group's operating profit for the period amounted to SEK 602 (151) million. Changes in the NOK/SEK and EUR/SEK rates for the period had a positive effect of SEK 7 million on operating profit. Profit from associated companies/joint ventures increased by SEK 26 million to SEK 21 (-5) million, including capital gains of SEK 0 (14) million on exploitation activities. Net financial items for the period declined by SEK 17 million to SEK -29 (-12) million and included SEK 20 million related to changes in the value of interest rate derivatives, which amounted to SEK 8 (-14) million. SEK-42 million (-23) referred to interest expenses;
2021/22 2020/21 2019/20 2018/19 Q 2 Q 1 Q 4 Q 3 Q 2 Q 1 Q 4 Q 3 Q 2 Q 1 Q 4 Q 3 Revenue 2,178 155 246 1,023 1,328 154 162 580 1,931 121 109 939 Operating profit/loss 936 -334 19 126 444 -292 -127 15 833 -326 -222 319
this increase can be attributed to the interest rate on lease liabilities related to the hotel segment. Exchange losses amounted to SEK -9 million (-1) and interest income was SEK 2 million (1). The Group's profit after tax for the period was SEK 438 (114) million, an increase of SEK 323 million or 283 percent. Revenue, including internal, from Operation of Mountain Resorts for the period amounted to SEK 2,158 (1,419) million, with an operating profit of SEK 567 (140) million. Revenue from Property Development and Exploitation for the period amounted to SEK 50 (114) million, with a profit of SEK 22 million (7). Profit from exploitation activities related to plot and land sales and the sale of shares in tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club for the period amounted to SEK 10 (37) million, including SEK 0 (14) million through associated companies. Other activities within Property Development and Exploitation relate primarily to rental of accommodation to the Operation of Mountain Resorts segment. From 1 July 2021, SkiStar has expanded its operations to a third segment: Operation of Hotels. Revenue from Operation of Hotels for the period amounted to SEK 195 million (0), with a profit of SEK 1 million (0).
SkiStar's operations are subject to significant seasonal variations. Most revenue and earnings are generated in the second and third quarters. The number of days off during Christmas and New Year, and whether Easter falls early or late, also bring variations in earnings. Over half of the revenue is paid in advance.
Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital was SEK 1,586 (751) million for the six-month period. The improvement is mainly linked to higher operating profit, but also to an increased volume of advance bookings due to an improved booking situation compared with the same period in the previous year. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -358 million (-244), with this increase mainly linked to a higher rate of investment compared with the previous year. Acquisitions of subsidiaries have generated a cash flow item of SEK -9 million. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -449 (-113) million. The change was mainly due to loan repayments.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 811 (454) million at the end of February. Unused credit facilities amounted to SEK 770 (750) million. Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 3,455 (2,578) million, an increase of SEK 877 million from the previous year. This increase is attributable to a non-current lease liability related to the signing of a long-term lease with the owner of the hotel properties – Skiab Invest AB. The average interest rate during the period was 2.34 (2.25) percent. Net financial liabilities amounted to SEK 2,594 (2,034) million at the end of February, an increase of SEK 560 million from the previous year (financial net debt excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 668 million (1,356)). The equity/assets ratio fell to 37 (41) percent. The equity/assets ratio excluding IFRS 16 was 48 (46) percent.
Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 135 (25) million and was mainly attributable to current tax.
Investments for the period amounted to SEK 365 (255) million gross and SEK 358 (244) million net. The difference between gross and net is the divestment of financial assets and property, plant and equipment. Depreciation and amortisation in the same period amounted to SEK -206 (183) million.
The average number of employees was 1,697 (1,314), an increase of 383 from the previous year. This increase is mainly due to the addition of hotel operations and full-scale operations at the Norwegian destinations after restrictions were lifted.
Mats and Fredrik Paulsson together with their family and companies are the principal owners of SkiStar, with 47 percent of the votes and 24 percent of the capital as at 28 February 2022, and they are also the principal owners of Peab with which SkiStar has a business relationship. Purchases from Peab during the first six months of the year amounted to SEK 38 (156) million. The outstanding liability to Peab was SEK 7 (32) million. Sales to Peab amounted SEK 1 (0) million and the outstanding receivable was SEK 0 (0) million.
Purchases from associates during the first six months amounted to SEK 70 (34) million and sales to associates amounted to SEK 4 (8) million. Net receivables from associates totalled SEK 16 (181) million, SEK 21 (182) million of which related to loans to associates. The Parent Company has transactions with subsidiaries in addition to the Group's related-party transactions. Disclosures of related-party transactions and a description of the nature of these transactions can be found in note 36 of the 2020/21 Annual Report.
Net sales for the Parent Company totalled SEK 1,655 (1,241) million during the period. Net investments amounted to SEK 238 (95) million.
Bookings for SkiStar's accommodation agency for the remainder of the season (from 10 March to end of season) are 9 percent higher compared to the same period in 2018/19, that is, before the pandemic. A relatively late Easter will also mean later bookings. The underlying positive trend and the good availability of snow at all our resorts means we are expecting a very strong end to the winter season.
Operational investments planned for the next financial year total SEK 555 million, of which SEK 174 million is for two chair lifts in Åre, where a major initiative to modernise and wind-proof SkiStar Åre is underway. In addition, SEK 384 million is being invested in extensive upgrades and modernisations with an extra focus on snow capacity. These are the
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.
• SkiStar's aim is to help more people discover the joy of an active life. This is why we offer free SkiPasses for children and young people up to the age of 15 in all municipalities where SkiStar operates. The number of free SkiPasses distributed amounted to 2,067 (2,694) as of 28 February 2022, corresponding to a value of SEK 12.5 million.
• During World Snow Day on 16 January, SkiStar offered all municipal residents at its destinations a SkiPass and ski rental.
• In Stockholm (Hammarbybacken), children and young people between the ages of 3 and 17 were offered SkiPasses and ski rental for two days during the spring school holiday.
• During the spring school holiday, SkiStar set up mobile rapid charging stations in Ljusdal in partnership with Jämtkraft and Audi, to make things easier for guests travelling by electric car to the mountains. The mobile rapid charging stations were made full use of by school holiday trippers on their way to and from the mountains. The project is part of the collaboration that Jämtkraft and SkiStar launched in autumn 2021, with the aim of developing charging infrastructure both at and on the way to SkiStar's destinations and creating the conditions for a sustainable journey for SkiStar's guests.
• SkiStar has increased its HVO 100 consumption. This is due to our transition from fossil-based fuels to renewable ones – including at our Norwegian destinations. This will have a positive impact on our direct climate emissions. Calculation of which will be reported on a full-year basis.
• During the first six months of the year, water consumption in operations amounted to 5 million m3, which is an increase of 9 percent compared to the same period in 2020/21.
• During the quarter, work began on more in-depth ESG analyses of strategic suppliers and business partners.
