Early snow and cold have enabled us to open

all our ski resorts earlier than in the previous

year and everything is in place for good skiing

conditions over Christmas and the New Year.

Bookings for the next winter season are 1

percent higher than at the same point in the

previous year. Bookings for Christmas week

are slightly down due to fewer days off, while

bookings for the weeks between New Year and

the winter break, and the winter break itself,

are up on the previous year. The period after

the winter holidays shows a decline in bookings

as a result of the late Easter, which means later

booking patterns. We should also bear in mind

that last year’s bookings at the same point in

time were the strongest ever. About 80 percent

of the season’s estimated accommodation sales

have already been booked.

The modern new Skihytta Express chairlift in

Trysil is opening soon. The new lift will signifi-

cantly improve our Trysil guests’ comfort and

experience. For the 2017/18 season, we have

decided to build a new gondola lift in St. Johann

with snowmaking systems at adjacent slopes for

a total of EUR 17 million. The investment brings

St. Johann a greatly improved ski product for

beginners, children and more advanced skiers.

We still await a positive decision from the EU

concerning public funding for Scandinavian

Mountains, the airport between Sälen and

Trysil. The schedule for the first planes to land

in December 2018 remains unchanged.

We confidently look forward to another good

winter season at our destinations in Sweden,

Norway and now Austria as well.

First quarter

16/09/2016SkiStar Business launching in NorwaySkiStar Business is a success in the Swedish

group and conference market. Now SkiStar is

introducing its business concept in Norway too.

The goal is to offer Scandinavia's best and most

productive conferences, with high quality, great

service and fantastic meeting venues.

15/09/2016More adventures for children and young people feature in SkiStar’s news for winterSmart cameras that capture your jumps in

the snow parks on film, Valle’s ski school for

children and day care in the mountains. These

are some of the news items from the ski tour

operator SkiStar for the coming winter season,

with a focus on young people and health.

06/10/2016SkiStar launches a destination in the Alps – St. Johann open for bookingsSkiStar is launching its first destination in the

Alps at St. Johann in the Austrian Tyrol, which

can now be booked online at skistar.com. The

venture is the first step in establishing the ski

tour operator in the Alps. Guests can now pre-

book hotel accommodation and SkiPasses at

skistar.com just like for our Scandinavian ski

resorts.

12/10/2016Snowman Valle encourages families to book skiing holidays in JanuaryMore and more families are discovering the

opportunity for skiing between the Christmas

holidays and the winter break. Bookings during

Valle’s Winter weeks in January have increased

by 20 percent in just one year, according to

new figures from SkiStar. One explanation is

that Snowman Valle’s ski school for children is

included in the winter weeks this winter.

13/10/2016Sharp increase in active conferences in the mountainsConference trips to the Swedish mountains

are increasing sharply. Bookings with SkiStar

Business for the winter are already 25 percent

above last season. In Åre, which has long been

a popular ski conference location, demand has

increased by almost 300 percent.

07/11/2016SkiStar opens for skiing in optimal weath-er conditionsSkiStar opens three of its five Scandinavian

ski resorts on Friday 11 November. Vemdalen,

Trysil and Hemsedal are first off the mark.

Weather conditions are optimal, with abundant

snowfall at the Scandinavian ski resorts during

the past week, and the cold temperatures are

conducive to snowmaking. Booking demand for

Christmas holidays is currently high.

09/11/2016 Two Radisson Blu Resort hotels for TrysilOne of Norway’s best resort hotels, the Park Inn

Mountain Resort Trysil, is being upgraded and

will be renamed Radisson Blu Mountain Resort

& Residences. From this winter, Trysil will be

able to boast two fantastic Radisson Blu Resort

hotels on either side of the mountain, with

ski-in ski-out locations that give direct access

to Trysil’s modern ski area comprising some 70

ski slopes.

10/11/2016Closer link from London to Vemdalen and Åre this winterThis winter, ski enthusiasts can travel direct to

the ski resorts of Åre and Vemdalen from the

UK capital London. On Sunday 11 December,

easyJet, the UK’s largest airline, starts its direct

service to Åre/Östersund airport from London

Gatwick with departures every Sunday. A

reasonably priced shuttle service from the

airport to Vemdalen is also now available. This

service was previously only available to Åre.

The services significantly shorten travel time for

Londoners who want to spend time in the Swed-

ish mountains this winter.

11/11/2016SkiStar opens skiing in Åre and SälenSkiStar will open its slopes and lifts in Åre and

Sälen next weekend. Abundant snowfalls in

the country have created keen interest in ski-

ing in the mountains and booking demand for

SkiStar’s ski resorts is high. The snow that has

fallen over much of Sweden during the week is

an early Christmas present for people who like

winter games and skiing in the mountains.

18/11/2016New Sifo survey: Two out of three Swedes prefer an active holidayHolidays now mean more than lazy days – two

out of three Swedes (66 percent) want to be

physically active when travelling in winter.

These were the findings of a Sifo survey con-

ducted in the lead-up to the winter season on

behalf of the ski tour operator SkiStar.

After the end of the period

02/12/2016SkiStar opens skiing at the Austrian ski resort St. JohannThe time has come to open for skiing at

SkiStar’s new ski resort St. Johann. SkiStar

developed and improved the snowmaking facili-

ties at the Austrian resort in preparation for this

winter. These improvements and the recent

cold period mean that the resort will be opening

on Thursday 8 December.

07/12/2016.Nordea, SJ and Löfbergs in new partner-ships with SkiStarSkiStar presents three new, long-term partners:

Nordea, SJ and coffee roaster Löfbergs. As part-

ners of SkiStar, they gain unique exposure to

almost two million holidaymakers. In particular,

the partnerships will have a high profile in Åre,

Sälen and Vemdalen, the three major ski desti-

nations in Sweden.

A complete list of press releases can be found

on skistar.com.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER AND AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

First quarterSkiStar’s business is highly seasonal and earn-

ings are always negative in the first quarter,

when operations are conducted to a very limited

extent. Revenue for the first quarter increased

by SEK 35 million to SEK 117 (82) million. The

increase was due to an earlier start to the winter

season this year, additional revenue from St.

Johanner Bergbahnen GmbH and increased rev-

enue from interests in accommodation/exploita-

tion assets. The Group’s operating profit/loss

declined by SEK 28 million to SEK -257 (-229)

million. Operating expenses increased due to

large amounts of snow having been produced

in the early cold weather, which is expected

to result in lower costs for snowmaking in the

second quarter. The arrival of St. Johanner Berg-

bahnen GmbH in the Group has had an adverse

impact of SEK -16 million on operating profit.

Like SkiStar, St. Johann has seasonal operations

and the company will make a positive contribu-

tion to SkiStar’s operating profit in the second

and third quarters. Operating expenses also

increased due to advertising expenses of SEK 5

million, which were recognised in the second

quarter in the previous year but in the first

quarter this year. Exchange rate changes had

an adverse effect of SEK 4 million on operating

profit compared with the previous year. Sales of

shares in tenant-owner associations and Vaca-

tion Club in the quarter generated revenue of

SEK 18 (13) million and a gain of SEK 5 (9) mil-

lion. Revenue from the sale of plots amounted

to SEK 12 (3) million, with a profit of SEK 7 (2)

million. Net financial items improved by SEK 4

million to SEK -6 (-10) million due to a positive

change of SEK 5 million in the value of interest

rate derivatives.

SeasonalitySkiStar’s operations are subject to significant

seasonal variations. The majority of 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 cause revenues and earn-

ings to vary. Over half of the revenue is booked

and paid in advance.

FINANCIAL POSITION, TAXES AND INVESTMENTS

Cash flowCash flow from operating activities before

changes in working capital was SEK -229 (-186)

million for the first quarter. Cash flow from

investing activities was SEK -74 (-213) million,

while cash flow from financing activities was

SEK -75 (43) million.

Liquidity and financingConsolidated cash and cash equivalents at

the end of the period were SEK 87 million,

compared with SEK 93 million at the end of

the financial year and SEK 19 million at the

same point in the previous year. Unused credit

amounted to SEK 456 million, compared with

SEK 184 million at the end of the financial year

and SEK 315 million at the end of the first quar-

ter of the previous year. Net interest-bearing

liabilities amounted to SEK 1,706 million, a

decline of SEK 47 million since the end of the

financial year and a decline of SEK 60 million

compared with the same point in the previous

year. The average interest rate during the year

was 2.9 (2.5) percent. Net financial liabilities

amounted to SEK 1,495 million at 30 November,

a decline of SEK 52 million since the end of the

financial year and a decline of SEK 9 million

compared with the same point in the previous

year. The equity/assets ratio improved to 39

(36) percent.

TaxTax income for the first quarter amounted to

SEK 56 (57) million, and was largely attributable

to utilisation of tax values in the quarter’s loss

carryforwards. Tax income has been negatively

affected by a lower income tax rate in Norway

and tax adjustments from prior years. Accumu-

lated loss carryforwards in the Swedish opera-

tions amounted to SEK 604 (790) million.

InvestmentsInvestments in the quarter totalled SEK 104

(229) million gross and SEK 74 (213) million

net. Depreciation and amortisation in the same

period amounted to SEK 55 (49) million. The

investments were mainly related to Trysil’s

6-chair lift and snowmaking systems, and

reinvestments.

Prior to 2016/17The skiing season has started unusually

early and all ski resorts had opened by mid-

November. The early cold spell has enabled a

large proportion of the winter snowmaking to be

completed in November. Advance accommoda-

tion bookings for the 2016/17 winter season

have declined by 1 percent compared with the

previous year. The sales value of the bookings

was SEK 604 (567) million. Almost 80 percent

of the year’s estimated accommodation sales

have already been booked. A late Easter means

later booking patterns. Investments of SEK

373 million have been decided on prior to the

2017/18 season and include a new gondola with

snowmaking systems in the adjoining slopes of

St. Johann, and reinvestments at all destina-

tions.

OTHER INFORMATION

The SkiStar shareThe number of shareholders at 30 November

2016 was 28,800, which is an increase of 830

(3 percent) since 31 August 2016. SkiStar is

listed on the Mid Cap list of the Nasdaq Stock-

holm exchange. The number of shares was

39,188,028, of which 37,364,028 are class B

shares. The closing price of the SkiStar share at

30 November 2016 was SEK 163.

PersonnelThe average number of employees was 662

(571), an increase of 91 from the first quarter of

the previous year. The increase is attributable

to early snowmaking thanks to the early cold

weather, and the entry of St. Johann into the

SkiStar Group.

Parent CompanyThe Parent Company’s revenue for the first

quarter 2016/17 was SEK 67 (56) million.

Investments totalled SEK 48 (59) million. The

Annual General Meeting on 10 December 2016

adopted a dividend of SEK 4.50 per share, cor-

responding to a total of SEK 176 million.

Related-party transactionsThe Group is under the control of Erik and Mats

Paulsson and their families and companies.

At 30 November 2016, their shareholding

represented 63 percent of the votes and 47

percent of the capital of the Parent Company.

No significant transactions have occured during

the quarter.

Purchases from associates in the financial year

amounted to 13 (18) million, while sales to asso-

ciates were SEK 6 (3) million. Net receivables

from associates were SEK 184 (165) million,

including SEK 177 (120) million attributable to

loans to associates. In addition to the Group’s

transactions with related parties, the Parent

Company has transactions with subsidiaries.

The transactions have been conducted at mar-

ket conditions. A description of the nature of

the transactions can be found in note 35 of the

Annual Report for 2015/16.

Risks and uncertaintiesThe risks and uncertainties described below

apply to both the Parent Company and Group.

The number of guests at SkiStar’s destinations

is influenced by weather and snow conditions.

A late winter with a lack of cold weather and

natural snow in time for Christmas means

lower demand. Lower demand can also arise in

winters with prolonged cold periods and good

snow conditions in the southern, more densely

populated parts of Scandinavia, as snow, cold

weather and skiing opportunities are available

closer to home. SkiStar addresses these risks

through continuous development of snowmak-

ing systems to guarantee skiing and by making

strategic sales aimed at ensuring that the major-

ity of the accommodation capacity is booked

by the Christmas week when the high season

starts. Fluctuations in the value of the domestic

currencies against other currencies affect travel

patterns and therefore also the number of guests

at SkiStar’s destinations. SkiStar’s earnings

are also affected by the relationship between

the Swedish krona and Norwegian krone. The

number of days off during Christmas and New

Year and whether Easter comes early or late also

affects guests’ travel patterns. A more detailed

description of risks and uncertainties can be

found in the administration report and note 31

of the Annual Report for 2015/16.

Accounting policiesThe interim report for the Group has been

prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual

Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent

Company has been prepared in accordance

with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts

Act, Interim Reports. 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 state-

ments in compliance with IFRS requires the

use of accounting assessments and estimates.

It also requires Group management to make

assumptions which affect the application of the

accounting policies and the carrying amounts

of assets, liabilities, income and expense. The

actual outcome may differ from these assess-

ments and estimates. Certain statements

contained in this report are forward-looking and

reflect the current assessments of the Company

and Board of Directors with regard to future

circumstances.

Segment reportingAs of the Q2 2014/15 interim report, operations are monitored and presented in the segments Ski Resorts – Operation, Infrastructure and Exploitation.

• Ski Resorts – Operation encompasses the operation of resorts and sales of all products and services. The focus is on sales and efficient operation. An estimated internal rent on capital invested in Infrastructure is charged to the segment’s earnings. There is no revenue from other segments.

• Infrastructure covers non-current assets such as land, lifts, properties, investments in partly owned companies. The focus is on generating a reasonable return on investments. Sources of revenue include internal rent from Operation and return on non-current assets.

• Exploitation covers properties not used within Infrastructure. The focus is on developing and realising value.

Investment loans have been allocated to Infrastructure, where assets that can be pledged are recognised. Operating loans have been allocated to Ski Resorts – Operation. The internal rent is based on cash flow generating a five-percent return on the carrying amounts of invested assets. Rent is determined annually in advance. Group-wide costs have been allocated according to the estimated benefit. Intra-Group sales and purchases are conducted at market conditions. Comparative values have been recalcula-ted.

This interim report has not been reviewed by the company’s auditor.

Sälen, 21 December 2016

Mats Årjes

Chief Executive Officer

This information is information that SkiStar AB is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and

the Securities Markets Act. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the

contact person set out above, at 21 December 2016, 07.30 a.m. CET.

AcquisitionsSkiStar acquired properties through companies

during the 2015/16 financial year. The acquisi-

tions consisted of assets and liabilities and did

not include business operations. The remaining

shares in the associate Staven Näring AS in

Hemsedal in Norway were acquired for NOK 1.

The company does not have any employees and

the acquired assets and liabilities do not have

any material impact on the SkiStar Group’s

earnings or balance sheet. On 10 May 2016,

SkiStar AB paid share issue proceeds of EUR

10 million (SEK 93 million), thereby becoming

the owner of 68 percent of the shares in the

Austrian ski resort of St. Johanner Bergbahnen

GmbH. The value of net assets acquired after

the issue was EUR 14.4 million, which was

higher than the acquisition proceeds. The differ-

ence, EUR 4.4 million, has been treated as nega-

tive goodwill and recognised as revenue in the

consolidated income statement for 2015/16.

Information about acquired values can be found

in note 36 of the Annual Report for 2015/16.

Disclosures in accordance with IFRS 13 In addition to the usual working capital items

and cash and cash equivalents, SkiStar’s finan-

cial instruments consist of receivables from

associates, interest-bearing liabilities, deriva-

tives and available-for-sale financial assets.

Interest-bearing liabilities carry floating interest

rates. The majority of other financial assets and

liabilities have short maturities. Derivatives and

available-for-sale financial assets are measured

at fair value based on level 2 and level 3 inputs

in the IFRS 13 hierarchy. There have not been

any transfers between levels during the period.

The fair values of all financial instruments are

deemed to approximate their carrying amounts.

SkiStar has not reported any financial assets or

liabilities on a net basis.
