Continued growth and a very strong profit for the important second quarter
The winter season got off to an early start at the end of November thanks to cold temperatures, which created great conditions for cost-effective snow production. In combination with a lot of natural snow, we have had excellent snow conditions and have been able to offer very good skiing. We are, therefore, looking forward to a terrific spring.
Now, as we summarise two-thirds of the winter season and SkiStar's second important quarter for the 2022/23 financial year, we see continued growth in the core business operation with a record turnover of SEK 2.5 billion (+8%) after the first six months of the year, despite the economic situation and challenging times. We can also report a very good second quarter, which is so important for this year's earnings: a profit before tax of SEK 926 million, SEK 6 million better than the previous year, which is thus the best in the company's history.
It shows that the interest in alpine skiing is still great and that the trend of holidaying at home in the Scandinavian mountains is continuing this winter as well. During the week commencing the 13 February, we had more students than ever in the ski school in Sälen, our biggest destination, something which guarantees a boost to the number of future skiers. During the period, we have also entered into an agreement to acquire Trysilguidene, the ski school operation in Trysil. By fully integrating this business into SkiStar, we have the opportunity to work with our entire product and service range at all our five mountain destinations.
Within our retail operations, we continue to see strong demand, especially for our own brand EQPE where we report record sales for the entire business area, an increase of 21 percent compared with the previous year. The growth primarily comes from online sales, 45 percent, but also from an increase in sales in our physical stores.
I am very proud that our guest surveys show that 8 out of 10 guests have had a very good overall impression of their stay with us during the season. This has contributed to the guests having a memorable alpine experience despite the weather challenges, especially in Åre during the week commencing the 27 February. It is also a very positive development that our foreign visitors are back, not only Danish and Swedish guests, who are so important for the Norwegian destinations,
but also German, Dutch and British guests as well.
We continue to focus on sustainability. Once again, we have invested in facilitating sustainable travel to our destinations by installing temporary charging stations for electric cars in Sveg during the winter school holiday weeks in conjunction with Audi and Jämtkraft. We have helped people to be more active through for example our collaboration with the Swedish Ski Association's World Snow Day, where nearly 800 children aged 10-11 visited Stockholm Hammarbybacken and Sälen to try out the joy of being active and skiing.
Many peoples favourite period in the mountains are about to start, the magical March-April and early spring, with Easter in focus. The booking situation for the winter season is at a slightly better level than in the last interim report, that is, -10 percent compared with the same period of the previous year. The reason for this, just like in the previous report, is mainly because more people book later than usual and closer to their stay. In addition, we see that interest in renting out privately owned cabins is increasing among individuals compared to previous years, although a new trend is do this independently of the resorts.
We continue to invest in the future of the alpine resorts and are investing close to SEK 600 million for the 2023/24 financial year with a focus on winter operations with more modern lift systems, better slopes and more efficient snow production. Investments are also being made in summer activities and business development. When we come to the end of the winter season, after the Easter Holidays, the recharge commences for the coming summer/autumn season, a period which is also an important part of our investment in SkiStar as an all year round mountain tourism company.
For the midsummer holiday, we are introducing several new attractions in, among other places, Vemdalen, Sälen and Trysil, so that more people can enjoy an active and relaxing holiday at our destinations.
Despite a recession with associated high inflation, I look forward with confidence to the future where an active holiday in the Scandinavian mountain world is still high on the list of priorities for many.
Stefan Sjöstrand, CEO
still great and that the trend of holidaying at home in the Scandinavian mountains is continuing this winter as well.
Consolidated revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 2,366 (2,195) million, an increase of 8 percent compared with the previous year. The increase was mainly due to increased revenue in the Operation of Hotels and Property Development and Exploitation segments, as well as in retail operations. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a positive effect of SEK 23 million on revenue. Consolidated operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 932 (936) million. The operating profit is in line with the previous year, despite the impact of higher costs in the business which mainly derive from underlying inflation, continued increased repairs and maintenance work at our resorts and increased depreciation as a result of expanded investment activity.
Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate had a positive effect of SEK 7 million on operating profit for the quarter. Profit from investments in associates and joint ventures increased to SEK 26 (22) million. Net financial items for the quarter improved by SEK 10 million to SEK -6 (-16) million. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 12 (9) million. Interest expenses amounted to SEK -23 (-16) million, including lease-related interest of SEK -10 (-10) million under IFRS 16.
Exchange losses amounted to SEK -2 (-12) million and exchange gains amounted to SEK 6 (1) million. The Group's profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK 926 (920) million, an increase of SEK 6 million, or 1 percent. Revenue from the Operation of Mountain Resorts segment amounted to SEK 2,003 (2,015) million, with an operating profit/loss of SEK 825 (865) million. Revenue from Property Development and Exploitation amounted to SEK 113 (17) million, with an operating profit/loss of SEK 34 (30)
million. The increased revenue is mainly attributable to the completion of stage one of four in the property exploitation project at Fjellnest in Hemsedal. 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 0 (2) million. Other Property Development and Exploitation activities are primarily related to the rental of accommodation to the Operation of Mountain Resorts segment and shares from associates that rent out accommodation. Revenue from the Operation of Hotels segment for the second quarter amounted to SEK 250 (164) million, with an operating profit of SEK 64 (33) million.
The Group's revenue for the period amounted to SEK 2,547 (2,353) million, an increase of 8 percent compared with the first six months of the previous year. Changes in the NOK/SEK and EUR/SEK rate had a positive effect of SEK 24 million on revenue. The Group's operating profit for the period amounted to SEK 481 (602) million. Changes in the NOK/SEK and EUR/SEK exchange rates had a positive effect of SEK 5 million on operating profit for the period. Profit from investments in associates and joint ventures increased by SEK 2 million to SEK 19 (21) million.
Net financial items for the six month period decreased by SEK 1 million to SEK -30 (-29) million. The change in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK 4 (21) million. Interest expenses amounted to SEK -45 (-42) million, including lease-related interest of SEK -20 (-18) million under IFRS 16. Exchange losses amounted to SEK -7 (-24) million and exchange gains amounted to SEK 16 (15) million.
The Group's profit before tax for the period was SEK 450 (573) million, a decline of SEK 122 million, or 21 percent. Revenue from the Operation of Mountain Resorts segment for the period amounted to SEK 2,140 (2,135) million, with an operating profit/loss of SEK 458 (567) million. Revenue from Property Development and Exploitation for the period amounted to SEK 118 (50) million, with an operating profit/loss of SEK 16 (22) million. Profit from exploitation activities related to plot and land sales and the sale of shares in housing associations and Vacation Club for the period amounted to SEK 30 (10) million. Other activities within Property Development and Exploitation relate primarily to the rental of accommodation to the Operation of Mountain Resorts segment.
Revenue from the Operation of Hotels segment for the period amounted to SEK 289 (194) million, with an operating profit/loss of SEK -6 (1) million. The main explanation for the increase in revenue is linked to pandemic restrictions in Norway during the previous year and the six month effect of additional resorts, such as SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället. Increased costs in the segment mainly consist of six months of operation in Skistar Lodge Hundfjället compared with the previous year's operation for three months, but also of increased costs for repairs and maintenance as well as depreciation.
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 1,153 (1,586) million for the six-month period. The decline in cash flow from the operating activities compared with the previous year is primarily linked to a reduced change in working capital where the previous year's operating receivables decreased significantly through, among other things, a received refund in relation to the sale of shares in the subsidiary St. Johanner Bergbahnen Beteiligungs GmbH of EUR 15 million. The reason for the decline in cash flow from operating activities is also partly due to a slightly decreased operating profit.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -422 (-358) million. The increased outflow from the previous year was mainly related to a higher rate of investment. Acquisitions of subsidiaries have generated a cash flow item of SEK -16 million. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -493 (-449) million. The change was mainly due to a higher dividend payment.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 256 (811) million at the end of February. Unused credit facilities amounted to SEK 770 (770) million. Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 3,376 (3,455) million, a decrease of SEK 79 million from the same period of the previous year. The average interest rate during the period was 3.21 (2.34) percent. Net financial liabilities amounted to SEK 3,069 (2,594) million at the end of February, an increase of SEK 475 million compared with the previous year (financial net debt excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 1,157 (668). The equity/assets ratio increased to 39 (37) percent. The equity/assets ratio excluding IFRS 16 was 51 (48) percent.
Tax for the period amounted to SEK 110 (135) million and was largely attributable to current tax.
Investments for the period amounted to SEK 426 (361) million (gross) and SEK 422 (358) million (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 -227 (-206) million.
The average number of employees was 1,829 (1,697), an increase of 132 full-time employees from the previous year. Personnel costs amounted to SEK 502 million (SEK 449 million). The increase was largely due to full operation of the hotels for six months and the Norwegian destinations being able to open again without the impact of pandemic restrictions.
Ekhaga Utveckling AB*, which is the main owner of SkiStar with 47 percent of the votes and 24 percent of the capital as of 28 February 2023, is also the main owner of Peab with which SkiStar has a business relationship. During the six-month period, purchases were made from Peab amounting to SEK 23 (38) million. The outstanding liability to Peab was SEK 2 (7) million. Sales to Peab amounted to SEK 0 (1) million and the outstanding receivable was SEK 0 (0) million.
Purchases from associates during the first six months of the year amounted to SEK 127 (70) million and sales to associates amounted to SEK 4 (4) million. Purchases from associates mostly relate to rental of hotel properties from the Skiab Invest Group. Net receivables from associates totalled SEK 23 (22) million, SEK 22 (21) million of which related to loans to associates. Current lease liability to associates under IFRS16 amounted to SEK 1,457 (1,464) million and right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 1,414 (1,429) million.
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 2021/22 Annual Report.
Net sales for the Parent Company totalled SEK 1,702 (1,655) million during the financial year. Net investments amounted to SEK 217 (238) million.
SkiStars booking situation is -10%, measured in terms of booked overnight stays through SkiStar's accommodation agency, compared with the previous year, which is three percentage points better than the previous interim report. The reason for this, just like in the previous report, is mainly because more people book later than usual and closer to their stay. This year's calendar provides two holiday weeks both before and after the Easter holidays. Good access to snow at all of our resorts offer a positive outlook for the remaining part of the winter season.
Agreed operating investments for the next business year amount to SEK 598 million. An important part of this investment relates to a completely new six-seater lift in Hemsedal, the Lodge Express. A major initiative to modernise and wind-proof SkiStar Åre is in progress and continues according to plan. In addition, the investments include extensive replacement investments and modernisations, as well as business development (including summer activities).
*) The former ownership group 'Mats och Fredrik Paulsson incl company and family' has been divided up so that the holding through the company is referred to as 'Ekhaga Utveckling AB' in SkiStar's list of owners, while the private holding is listed as 'Mats and Fredrik Paulsson and families'. No change in the total share ownership has occurred.

• SkiStar wants to create opportunities to allow more people to 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 1,703 (2,067) as of 28 February 2023, corresponding to a value of SEK 11.2 (12.5) million.
• During World Snow Day on 16 January, SkiStar offered all municipal residents at its destinations a free SkiPass and ski rental for the day. 586 people participated, an increase of 44 percent compared with the previous year.
• Together with 'Alla på snö' (World Snow Day) SkiStar welcomed 750 children aged 10-11 to Stockholm Hammarbybacken, as well as about fifty from Malung who visited Tandådalen, Sälen, to try alpine skiing. SkiStar would like more people to be active and an important part is that is that as many children and young people as possible are given the opportunity to try both skis and snowboards.
• During the winter school holiday, SkiStar set up mobile rapid charging stations in partnership with Jämtkraft and Audi, to make things easier for guests travelling by electric car to the mountains. The mobile rapid charging stations, which this time were set up in Sveg, were made full use of by school holiday travellers on their way to and from the mountains. During the winter school holidays, over 700 cars used these chargers, resulting in an output of 15,500 kWh.
• During the quarter, SkiStar began a long-term collaboration with Söderberg and Partners and Ecogain with a focus on biodiversity.
• During the first six months of the year, water consumption in our operations amounted to just under 4 (5) million m3, a reduction compared to the previous year. During the snowmaking period, the company has focused on water and energy efficiency.
• During the quarter, we conducted increased dialogues with suppliers to accelerate SkiStar's electrification journey.
