COMMENT FROM THE CEO Early winter and a great interest in ski holidays in Scandinavia.

Winter arrived earlier than ever before with both cold weather and natural snow at all our mountain destinations from the beginning of November, which brought good conditions for snow production and has meant an early snowy start to the season with a snow depth of between 40-80 cm. We will have fantastic conditions at all our destinations for the Christmas and New Year holidays and, above all, this will ensure a long winter season.

Operating profit declined by SEK 13 million in the period, equivalent to 3 percent. The most significant reason is the unusually favourable weather conditions for snow production and other work carried out in order to prepare the slopes during the pre-season. This has resulted in higher costs, mainly related to earlier snow-making, but has also meant an early start to the season, increased revenues and great interest from our guests.

Bookings, measured as the number of overnight stays booked through SkiStar's mediated accommodation, are 9 percent higher than previous year, meaning that more than 80 percent of the season's estimated accommodation sales are already booked. A strong Christmas and New Year period with high occupancy awaits us. Despite the weaker economy, many continue to choose to invest in a mountain holiday. The favourable value of the Swedish and Norwegian krona has also affected the foreign market, where we can see increased growth in the number of guests, notably from Denmark, but also from Germany, England and the Netherlands.

Prior to the season, large investments and additional acquisitions were made in our core operations. With two new express lifts, improved snow production and the development of existing ski areas and ski school operations at all destinations, our guests can have a fantastic winter experience, as well as access to ski products at all our destinations.

Retail operations continued to develop positively, despite a declining industry, and sales during the period have increased, both online at skistarshop.com (59 percent) and in our physical stores (32 percent). This resulted in an overall sales increase of 54 percent during the quarter.

Our climate targets were approved by Science Based Targets (SBT) during the previous financial year. We are currently taking the next step by clarifying our sustainability commitments within the areas of climate change. We are now focused on preserving white winters and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. By engaging with employees, guests, partners and interested members of the public, we want to create a driving force to help address climate change. We therefore invite everyone to participate in our sustainability efforts in order to make more informed choices and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By working together, we can preserve white winters and ensue that snowy experiences remain part of our future.

We look forward with confidence to another great winter season at all our six destinations and I hope to see you on the slopes.

Stefan Sjöstrand, CEO

REVENUE AND FARNINGS

THE GROUP'S DEVELOPMENT

SEPTEMBER - NOVEMBER 2023

Revenues amounted to SEK 226 million (181) and net sales increased by SEK 43 million to SEK 220 million (177), an increase of 24 percent compared with the same period of the previous year. Changes in the NOK/SEK exchange rate negatively affected net sales by SEK -4 million (1), which corresponds to -5 percent. Organic growth, excluding exchange rate effects and acquisitions, amounted to SEK 47 million, which corresponds to 26 percent. The increase in sales during the quarter came from sport stores and SkiPass.

Operating profit decreased by SEK 13 million to SEK -464 million (-451), which corresponds to -3 percent, and the operating margin was negative for the quarter. Changes in the NOK/SEK currency exchange rate affected operating profit positively, corresponding to SEK 7 million (-2). Operating profit has been affected by the earnings from associates/joint ventures of SEK -5 million (-7), as well as the earnings from plot and land sales and the sale of shares of tenant-owner associations and Vacation Club of SEK 0 (1). The lower operating profit is mainly impacted by costs linked to the early start to the season and increased depreciation.

Net financial items in the quarter amounted to SEK -31 million (-24), a decline of SEK 7 million. Changes in the value of interest rate derivatives amounted to SEK -15 million (-7). Interest expenses amounted to SEK -36 million (-22), including lease-related interest of SEK -11 million (-10) under IFRS 16. Exchange losses amounted to SEK -5 million (-4) and exchange gains amounted to SEK 10 million (10). The quarter's net financial items include a capital gain from the sale of associate shares of SEK 15 million step-by-step acquisition of Trysilguidene AS. Consolidated profit after tax amounted to SEK -384 million (-390), an increase of SEK 7 million, or 2 percent.

Operation of Mountain Resorts

Revenues amounted to SEK 185 million (137) and net sales amounted to SEK 179 million (134), an increase of SEK 45 million (34 percent) compared with the same period of the previous year. Operating profit decreased SEK 19 million to SEK -385 million (-366), or by 5 percent. The increase in sales is mainly due to sales in our sport stores being strong and during the quarter amounted to SEK 125 million, an increase of SEK 44 million, or 54 percent. The main increase comes from internet sales, which increased by 59 percent, but sales in physical stores also increased by 32 percent, partly driven by the early start to the season. The proportion of sold products from our own brand, EQPE, continues to increase, which improved the margin for the quarter. The early start to the season at our destinations has also contributed to the sales of SkiPass increasing by SEK 10 million and amounted to SEK 14 million (4). As a result of the early cold weather, snow production started one month earlier this season, which meant that energy and fuel costs increased during the quarter by a total of SEK 20 million, costs that in previous years were charged to the second quarter. During the quarter, the newly acquired business from Trysilguidena was integrated into SkiStar's organisation in Trysil, which increased personnel costs by SEK 3 million for the quarter. Depreciation amounted to SEK 86 million (73), an increase of SEK 13 million, which is a result of the higher rate of investment in recent years.

Property Development and Exploitation

Revenue amounted to SEK 11 million (12) and net sales amounted to SEK 5 million (5). Operating profit decreased by SEK 1 million to SEK -19 million (-18), a decline of 8 percent. The sales market within the Property Development and Exploitation segment is quiet and sales amounted to SEK 1 million (1) with a capital gain of SEK 0 million (1).

Operation of Hotels

Revenues amounted to SEK 36 million (39) and net sales decreased by SEK 3 million to SEK 36 million (39), a decline of 7 percent compared with the same period of the previous year. Operating profit increased by SEK 7 million to SEK -60 million (-67), or 10 percent. The reduced sales come from accommodation and restaurants. At the beginning of the quarter, the number of accommodation guests were lower than the previous year but the quarter ended positively with some recovery in November. During the quarter, renovation of a number of restaurants took place, especially in Sälen. The closed restaurants are the reason for the low sales in the quarter. The renovation is now complete and the restaurants will be opened for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Ongoing efficiencies in the business and the adaption of costs to the lower sales are the reason for the reduced operating loss for the quarter.

Seasonal effects

SkiStar's operations are subject to significant seasonal variations. Most revenue and earnings are generated in the second and third quarters. The timing of the big holiday weeks is dependent on the calendar. The number of days off during Christmas and New Year, and whether Easter falls early or late, also cause variations in earnings. Over half of the revenue is paid in advance.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital was SEK 221 million (165) for the period. The improvement is mainly linked to the higher booking rate which resulted in increased advance payments from guests associated with their bookings. The early start to the season has also meant that a larger number of guests have visited our destinations as early as November and have thus purchased their SkiPass earlier than usual. The advance payments are reflected in the increased interim debt. Revenues from SkiPass SkiStar All Winter accrued over the coming winter season up to and including the month of April.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -260 million (-249), with the increased outflow compared with the previous year mainly linked to the acquisition of Trysilguidene AS and Klövsjö Sportshop Fastighet AB and a continued high rate of investment. Acquisitions of subsidiaries generated a cash flow item of SEK -50 million (-2). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 26 million (89).

Liquidity and financing

The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 17 million (29) at 30 November. Unused credit facilities amounted to SEK 238 million (571). Interest-bearing liabilities excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 2,327 million (1,759), an increase of SEK 595 million. At the start of the financial year, corresponding liabilities amounted to SEK 2,256 million. Interest-bearing liabilities including IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 4,312 million (3,691), an increase of SEK 621 million from the previous year. Of the total interest-bearing liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 of SEK 1,985 million (1,932), SEK 1,368 million refers to lease liabilities to the partly owned joint venture holding Skiab Invest AB. The average interest rate during the period was 4.70 percent (3.00). Net financial liabilities excluding IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 2,208 million (1,679) at the end of November, an increase of SEK 529 million compared with the previous year. Net financial debt including IFRS 16 amounted to SEK 4,193 million (3,611), an increase of SEK 582 million. The equity/assets ratio decreased to 34 percent (36). The equity/assets ratio excluding IFRS 16 was 44 percent (47).

Tax

Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 112 million (85) and was largely attributable to utilisation of tax values in the quarter's loss carryforwards.

Investments

Investments for the period amounted to SEK 261 million (249) gross and

SEK 260 million (247) 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 -125 million (-111). The increased depreciation is mainly explained by the higher rate of investment in the previous year.

Personnel

The average number of employees was 996 (908), an increase of 88 from the previous year. Personnel costs amounted to SEK 175 million (SEK 171 million). The increases were 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 30 November 2023, is also the main owner of Peab with which SkiStar has a business relationship. During the three-month period, purchases were made from Peab amounting to SEK 13 million (17). The outstanding liability to Peab was SEK 5 million (4). Sales to Peab totalled SEK 0 (0) million and the outstanding claim was SEK 0 million (0). Purchases from associates during the quarter amounted to SEK 39 million (43) and the outstanding liability to associates amounted to SEK 29 million (14). Sales to associates totalled SEK 1 million (1) and net receivables from associates totalled SEK 74 million (20), SEK 74 (20) of which related to loans to associates. Current lease liability to associates under IFRS 16 amounts to SEK 1,368 million, and right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 1,330 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 2022/23 Annual Report.

Parent Company

Net sales for the Parent Company totalled SEK 192 million (155) and operating profit amounted to SEK -324 million (-305) during the first quarter. Net investments amounted to SEK 157 million (132).

Looking ahead to 2023/24

The staycation trend continues in all markets in Scandinavia and the favourable value of the Swedish and Norwegian krona has also affected our foreign markets, resulting in increased growth in the number of guests, primarily from Denmark but also Germany, England and the Netherlands. Bookings, measured as the number of overnight stays booked through SkiStar's mediated accommodation, are 9 percent better than the previous year, meaning that more than 80 percent of the season's estimated

accommodation sales are already booked. The early and snowy start to the season provides us with a nice foundation for good conditions at our destinations when the season really kicks off for the Christmas and New Year holidays. During December, two new express lifts were opened, one in Hemsedal and one in Lindvallen. Prior to the winter season, snow production was improved and the development of our ski areas at all our destinations continues, all of which will contribute to a sustainable mountain holiday for our guests.

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 Full Year

Activity & Recreation

By working together, we can preserve white winters and ensure that snowy experiences remain part of our future.

· SkiStar's electrification journey continues. During the quarter, we have decided to continue using the Prinoth E-Motion Husky (electric snow groomer) and, in conjunction with Xelom, decided to start testing their new electric snow groomer too. Both groomers are track machines. SkiStar is also expanding its vehicle fleet with Volvo CE electric wheeled loaders (L25 Electric). In addition, twelve new electric snowmobiles have been added to the snowmobile fleet. Replacing the fossil fuels that we use continues on an ongoing basis as well.

Dialogue & Interaction

Risks and uncertainties

The risks and uncertainties described below apply to both the parent company and group. Like all companies and business operations, SkiStar is exposed to various risks related to the business. For SkiStar, it is important to identify the risks that may prevent the company from achieving defined targets and to determine whether the risks are in line with risk

propensity. Where necessary, measures are taken to avoid, minimise or monitor identified risks. The purpose of risk management is to continuously assess and manage the risks that arise in the operations and to

ensure that it forms the basis for successful sustainability work. SkiStar's risk process, ownership, governance and management are discussed and evaluated in the company's audit committee and board of directors.

Updated financial targets

Prior to SkiStar's capital markets day on 12 October 2023, the company adopted the following financial targets in the medium term:

· Growth: Operating income is to grow by an average of six percent annually. This target refers to organic growth, adjusted for

acquisitions and foreign currency effects. An acquired company is classified as an acquisition in the twelve months from the date of acquisition. Only after this period is the company included in the measurement of organic growth.

· Margin: The operating margin is to average 18 percent.

· Debt: The net interest-bearing debt to EBITDA ratio should be less than 2.5, excl. IFRS 16 effects. Temporary deviations may occur, but the ratio should not exceed 2.5 over the reporting period.

More flexible dividend policy

Skistar has also, prior to said capital markets day, decided to update the dividend policy. The target is for 40-60 percent of the year's profit after tax to be distributed to shareholders. The actual dividend payout ratio proposed by the board is to be adjusted each year in line with the company's strategy, financial position, risk level and need for investment

The principle for the accounting of the Group's operating segments has changed from the first quarter of 2023/24 to follow the same principles as applied to the consolidated accounting and the internal follow-up. This means that IFRS 16 Leasing has been included, resulting in external operating costs decreasing and depreciation increasing. The change means that the segment's overal operating profit has improved by SEK 5,578 thousand for the first quarter of 2022/2023 and by SEK 23,716 thousand for the 2022/2023 financial year. In addition, the principle for eliminating within each segment has changed, resulting in internal revenues and osts being adjusted without any impact on operating profit.

The comparative figures have been recalculated according to the new principles.

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 currency changes are recognised in other comprehensive income.
