TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM UNLIMITED CORP. (TSX:DRM) (“Dream” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of its previously-announced sale of Arapahoe Basin (“Arapahoe Basin” or the “Resort”), our ski area in Colorado, to Alterra Mountain Company (“Alterra”). Based on today’s exchange rate and internal estimates of taxes payable, management believes this results in after-tax profit of approximately $115 million after closing costs and adjustments.

“Arapahoe Basin has been a great investment for Dream and one that we are very proud of,” said Michael Cooper, Chief Responsible Officer of Dream. “We have had the honour of taking care of this Resort over the last quarter century, with a constant commitment to the visitor experience. We are thrilled that Alterra recognizes and shares the same values and will continue to foster its unique and incredible culture. The closing of this transaction greatly improves our financial flexibility and allows us to significantly reduce our debt load while rewarding our shareholders through a special dividend for making the choice to continue to hold our stock.”

Dream acquired Arapahoe Basin in 1997, at a time when the Resort only had 490 skiable acres. Over the last 27 years, together with the Arapahoe Basin management team, Dream expanded the ski area to 1,428 acres, replaced all of the lifts and most of the buildings and opened the two highest elevation restaurants in North America, Il Rifugio and Steilhang Hut.

The management team, including Alan Henceroth, Chief Operating Officer of Arapahoe Basin, will continue to lead the ski area into the future and maintain the values and brand that we are so proud to have been a part of. Alterra, a world class ski resort operator with a proven track record of investing in its resorts while maintaining their distinctive cultures, is in a strong position to continue to grow the customer experience, increase the Resort’s offerings, and build on the culture of the ski area.

The proceeds will be partially directed at repaying over $100 million of debt and maintaining financial flexibility, while a portion will be returned to shareholders through a special dividend of $1.00 per Class A Subordinate Voting Share and Class B Common Share, payable on December 31, 2024 to shareholders of record on December 13, 2024.

The dividends are designated as eligible dividends for the purposes of section 89 of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) measure used by management that is not defined by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as these measures demonstrate the operating performance of the business excluding non-cash charges.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, and depreciation, share based compensation, acquisition related expenses, listing expense, gain or loss on sale of assets, and impairment of assets.

Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income as determined under IFRS; nor as an indicator of financial performance as determined by IFRS; nor a calculation of cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS; nor as a measure of liquidity and cash flow under IFRS. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by any other company.
