Business Context and Reporting Period
Pursuit Attractions & Hospitality, Inc. (PRSU) filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 32.2% year-over-year for the quarter and 23.3% for the nine-month period. This was driven by a 21.9% increase in attraction visitors and a 35.0% increase in Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) for the quarter, largely due to recovery from the prior year's Jasper wildfires and the inclusion of the new Tabacón acquisition.
- Profitability: Net income attributable to Pursuit rose 51.9% for the quarter and decreased 8.2% for the nine-month period compared to 2024. The nine-month decline is partially attributed to the absence of significant income from discontinued operations in the prior year.
- Acquisitions: The company acquired Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa for $108.3 million in July 2025 and the Jasper SkyTram for approximately $16.5 million in late 2024. These assets contributed incremental revenue in the current period.
- Discontinued Operations: The prior year (2024) included $5.3 million of income from discontinued operations for the quarter and $38.7 million for the nine months, which are excluded from 2025 continuing operations.
- Debt Structure: Total debt increased significantly due to borrowings used to fund the Tabacón acquisition. The company amended its 2025 Revolving Credit Facility in September 2025, increasing capacity to $300 million and extending the maturity to 2030.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Capital Expenditures: The company plans capital expenditures of approximately $71 million to $76 million for 2025, including $38 million to $43 million for growth projects like the Forest Park Hotel Woodland Wing refresh.
- Seasonality: Historically, 77% of revenue is earned in Q2 and Q3. Management expects the Tabacón acquisition to help generate revenue more evenly throughout the year.
- Insurance Recoveries: The company continues to receive insurance proceeds related to the 2024 Jasper wildfires. As of September 30, 2025, total proceeds received were $23.7 million. Additional recoveries for business interruption are still being determined.
- Risks: Key risks include seasonality, global economic conditions, natural disasters, currency exchange fluctuations (operations in Canada, Costa Rica, and Iceland), and the integration of recent acquisitions.
- Share Repurchases: The Board approved a new $50 million share repurchase authorization in August 2025. No repurchases were made in Q3 2025.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Acquisition Integration: Verify the financial performance and integration progress of the Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa acquisition, which contributed $6.3 million in revenue in its first quarter of consolidation.
- Insurance Settlements: Monitor the finalization of insurance claims related to the 2024 Jasper wildfires, specifically regarding business interruption proceeds which are currently contingent.
- Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the amended 2025 Credit Agreement covenants, specifically the 3.0x net leverage ratio and 1.25x fixed-charge coverage ratio.
- Discontinued Operations: Ensure analysis of year-over-year comparisons excludes the GES Business results, which were sold in late 2024 and are now classified as discontinued operations.
- Foreign Exchange Impact: Assess the impact of currency fluctuations on consolidated results, given significant operations in Canada, Costa Rica, and Iceland, and the $51.5 million cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation loss in equity.
