NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our Business
Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“Hilton Grand Vacations,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “HGV” or the “Company”) is a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling, managing and operating timeshare resorts, timeshare plans and ancillary reservation services, primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. Our operations primarily consist of selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs” or “VOI”) for ourselves and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their VOI purchases; operating resorts and timeshare plans; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange programs and Diamond points-based multi-resort timeshare clubs and exchange programs. During 2022, we began offering a new club membership called HGV Max across certain of our sales centers. For any customer who purchases a VOI, this membership provides the ability to use points across all properties within our network. The membership provides new destinations for existing club owners and broader vacation opportunities for new buyers. Our club offerings, including HGV Max, are collectively referred to as “Clubs”.
As of September 30, 2023, we had over 150 properties located in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and Japan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Europe, Hawaii, California, Arizona, Nevada and Virginia.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include 100% of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50% of the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2023, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2022-02 (“ASU 2022-02”), Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (ASC 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 provides, under Issue 2 - Vintage Disclosures, that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. For financing receivables, the vintage disclosure is to present the amortized cost basis by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable for the year of origination. The vintage disclosures are to be applied prospectively. The impact of adoption of ASU 2022-02 was in disclosure only and did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 5: Timeshare Financing Receivables for additional information.

Receivables from Contracts with Customers, Contract Liabilities, and Contract Assets
Our accounts receivable that relate to our contracts with customers includes amounts associated with our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations and are settled when the related cash is received. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and is only contingent on the passage of time. Our timeshare financing receivables consist of loans related to our financing of VOI sales that are secured by the underlying timeshare properties. See Note 5: Timeshare financing receivables for additional information.
The following table provides information on our contracts with customers which are included in Accounts receivable, net and Timeshare financing receivables, net , respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets:
($ in millions) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Receivables from contracts with customers:
Accounts receivable, net $ 308 $ 322
Timeshare financing receivables, net 1,821 1,767
Total $ 2,129 $ 2,089
Contract liabilities include payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. Such contract liabilities include advance deposits received on prepaid vacation packages for future stays at our resorts, deferred revenues related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction, Club activation fees and annual dues, the liability for bonus points awarded to our customers for purchase of VOIs at our properties or properties under our fee-for-service arrangements that may be redeemed in the future, deferred maintenance fees and other deferred revenue.

(1) The balance includes $ 61 million and $ 51 million of bonus point incentive liabilities included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This liability is for incentives from VOI sales and sales and marketing expenses in conjunction with our fee-for-service arrangements.
Revenue earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2022, was approximately $ 44 million and $ 143 million, respectively.
Contract assets relate to incentive fees that can be earned for meeting certain targets on sales of VOIs at properties under our fee-for-service arrangements; however, our right to consideration is conditional upon completing the requirements of the annual incentive fee period. Contract assets were $ 9 million as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract revenue that has not yet been recognized. Our contracts with remaining performance obligations primarily include (i) sales of VOIs under construction, (ii) Club activation fees paid at closing of a VOI purchase, (iii) customers’ advanced deposits on prepaid vacation packages and (iv) bonus points that may be redeemed in the future.
The following table presents the deferred revenue, deferred cost of VOI sales and deferred direct selling costs from sales of VOIs related to projects under construction as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
($ in millions) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Sales of VOIs, net $ 18 $ 3
Cost of VOI sales 4 1
Sales and marketing expense 3 1
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $ 4 million of sales of VOIs, net, offset by deferrals of $ 18 million, related to sales of projects under construction, some of which were completed during the year. We expect to recognize the revenue, costs of VOI sales and direct selling costs related to the projects under construction as of September 30, 2023, upon their completion in 2024.
The following table includes the remaining transaction price related to Advanced deposits, Club activation fees and Bonus points incentive liability as of September 30, 2023:

NOTE 4: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable within the scope of ASC 326 are measured at amortized cost. The following table represents our accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses:
($ in millions) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Fee-for-service commissions $ 70 $ 91
Real estate and financing 71 59
Resort and club operations 167 179
Tax receivables 45 84
Insurance claims receivable 83 81
Other receivables 5 17
Total $ 441 $ 511
Our accounts receivable are generally due within one year of origination. We use delinquency status and economic factors such as credit quality indicators to monitor our receivables within the scope of ASC 326 and use these as a basis for how we develop our expected loss estimates. We have allowances for our accounts receivable to account for fee-for-service commissions, trade accounts receivable, marketing packages, club dues and activation fees.
NOTE 5: TIMESHARE FINANCING RECEIVABLES
We define our timeshare financing receivables portfolio segments as (i) originated and (ii) acquired. On August 2, 2021 (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond Resorts International (“Diamond” or “Legacy-Diamond”) (the “Diamond Acquisition”). Our originated portfolio represents timeshare financing receivables that existed both prior to and following the Acquisition Date, excluding Legacy-Diamond (“Legacy-HGV”) and timeshare financing receivables originated by Legacy-Diamond subsequent to the Acquisition Date. Our acquired portfolio includes all timeshare financing receivables acquired from Legacy-Diamond as of the Acquisition Date.
The following table presents the components of each portfolio segment by class of timeshare financing receivables:
Originated Acquired

Timeshare financing receivables, net $ 1,510 $ 1,355 $ 311 $ 412
(1) Includes amounts used as collateral to secure a non-recourse revolving timeshare receivable credit facility (“Timeshare Facility”) as well as amounts held as future collateral for securitization activities.
(2) Non-credit premium of $ 97 million was recognized at the Acquisition Date, of which $ 30 million and $ 41 million remains unamortized as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
In August 2023, we completed a securitization of approximately $ 293 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and issued approximately $ 187 million of 5.72 % notes, $ 79 million of 6.11 % notes, and $ 27 million of 6.94 % notes due January 2038. The securitization transaction did not qualify as a sale and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized. The transaction is considered a secured borrowing, and the notes from the transaction are presented as non-recourse debt. The proceeds were used to pay down in part some of the existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 7: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities and Note 10: Debt and Non-recourse Debt for additional information.
As of December 31, 2022, we had timeshare financing receivables of $ 105 million securing the Timeshare Facility. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any timeshare financing receivables securing the Timeshare Facility.
We record an estimate of variable consideration for defaults as a reduction of revenue from financed VOI sales at the time revenue is recognized. We record the difference between the timeshare financing receivable and the variable

consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for financing receivables and record the receivable net of the allowance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an adjustment to our estimate of variable consideration of $ 117 million and $ 101 million, respectively.
We recognize interest income on our timeshare financing receivables as earned. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had interest receivable outstanding of $ 15 million and $ 13 million, respectively, on our originated timeshare financing receivables. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had interest receivable outstanding of $ 2 million and $ 4 million, respectively, on our acquired timeshare financing receivables. Interest receivable is included in Other Assets within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate charged on the notes correlates to the risk profile of the customer at the time of purchase and the percentage of the purchase that is financed, among other factors. As of September 30, 2023, our originated timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 1.5 % to 25.8 %, a weighted-average interest rate of 14.7 %, a weighted-average remaining term of 8.3 years and maturities through 2038. Our acquired timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 2.0 % to 25.0 %, a weighted-average interest rate of 15.7 %, a weighted-average remaining term of 7 years and maturities through 2033.
We apply payments we receive for loans, including those in non-accrual status, to amounts due in the following order: servicing fees; interest; principal; and late charges. Once a loan is 91 days past due, we cease accruing interest and reverse the accrued interest recognized up to that point. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we reversed $ 55 million and $ 52 million, respectively, of accrued interest income. We resume interest accrual for loans for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the loan is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the loan is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible note against the reserve once the foreclosure process is complete.
Acquired Timeshare Financing Receivables with Credit Deterioration
Our acquired timeshare financing receivables were deemed to be purchased credit deteriorated financial assets. These notes receivable were initially recognized at their purchase price, represented by the acquisition date fair value, and subsequently “grossed-up” by our acquisition date assessment of the allowance for credit losses. The difference over which par value of the acquired purchased credit deteriorated assets exceeds the purchase price plus the initial allowance for financing receivable losses is reflected as a non-credit premium and is amortized as a reduction to interest income under the effective interest method.
The fair value of our acquired timeshare financing receivables as of the Acquisition Date was determined using a discounted cash flow method, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivables. Consequently, the fair value of the acquired timeshare financing receivables recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as of the Acquisition Date included an estimate of expected financing receivable losses which became the historical cost basis for that portfolio going forward.
The allowance for financing receivable losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables is remeasured at each period end and takes into consideration an estimated measure of anticipated defaults and early repayments. We consider historical Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables performance and the current economic environment in the re-measurement of the allowance for financing receivable losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables.

Credit Quality of Timeshare Financing Receivables
Legacy-HGV Timeshare Financing Receivables
We evaluate this portfolio collectively for purposes of estimating variable consideration, since we hold a large group of homogeneous timeshare financing receivables which are individually immaterial. We monitor the collectability of our receivables on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. We use a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for estimating expected defaults and determining our allowance for financing receivables losses on our timeshare financing receivables. For the static pool analysis, we use certain key dimensions to stratify our portfolio, including FICO scores, equity percentage at the time of sale and certain other factors. The adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management through analysis of several factors, such as current economic conditions and industry trends, as well as the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio including assumed default rates, aging and historical write-offs of these receivables. The allowance is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on a periodic analysis of the mortgage portfolio.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired inventory associated with a property in New York for $ 136 million from a third-party developer. Under the purchase agreement, there are no further inventory commitments related to this property.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded non-cash operating activity transfers of $ 39 million related to the registrations for timeshare units under construction from Property and equipment, net to Inventory . As VOI inventory is constructed it is recorded into Property and equipment, net until such units are registered and made available for sale. Once registered and available for sale, the units are then transferred into completed unsold VOIs inventory.

NOTE 7: CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
As of September 30, 2023, we consolidated 10 VIEs. The activities of these entities are limited primarily to purchasing qualifying non-recourse timeshare financing receivables from us and issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a debt facility to facilitate such purchases. The timeshare financing receivables held by these entities are not available to our creditors and are not our legal assets, nor is the debt that is securitized through these entities a legal liability to us.
We have determined that we are the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of these timeshare financing receivables and we often replace or repurchase timeshare financing receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the following:
($ in millions) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Restricted cash $ 90 $ 48
Timeshare financing receivables, net 888 883
Non-recourse debt, net 1,038 1,003
NOTE 8: INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC, which are VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC because we are not the primary beneficiary. For both VIEs, our investment interests are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates , and equity earned is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates .
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received a cash distribution of approximately $ 6 million from our investment in BRE Ace LLC.
Our two unconsolidated affiliates have aggregated debt balances of $ 389 million and $ 393 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The debt is secured by their assets and is without recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment interests in the two unconsolidated affiliates is primarily limited to (i) the carrying amount of the investments, which totaled $ 74 million as of September 30, 2023 and $ 72 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively, and (ii) receivables for commission and other fees earned under fee-for-service arrangements.

(1) As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, weighted-average interest rates were 6.666 % and 6.143 %, respectively.
(2) Amount includes unamortized deferred financing costs related to our term loan and senior notes of $ 23 million and $ 17 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and $ 26 million and $ 19 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. This amount also includes unamortized original issuance discounts of $ 6 million and $ 7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(3) Amount does not include unamortized deferred financing costs of $ 3 million and $ 4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to our revolving facility which are included in Other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Senior secured credit facility
As of September 30, 2023, we had $ 16 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $ 1 million outstanding backed by cash collateral. We were in compliance with all applicable maintenance and financial covenants and ratios as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we have $ 866 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.
On May 31, 2023, we amended our Credit Facility Agreement to transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) reference rates to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) reference rates. We applied the optional expedients in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform (“ASC 848”), accounting for the modification as a continuation of the
17
Table of Contents
existing contract. Therefore, the transition did not require remeasurement at the modification date or a reassessment of previous accounting determinations, and the change in reference rates will be applied prospectively from the amendment date.
On October 6, 2023, we amended our Term loan under the Senior secured credit facility. Under the amendment, the new interest rate is SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.11 % plus 2.75 %, down from SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 0.11 % plus 3.00 %. Additionally, the interest rate floor for the Term loan was lowered from 0.50 % to 0.00 %.
We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt. These interest rate swaps are associated with the remaining available SOFR based senior secured credit facility. During the second quarter of 2023, we amended certain interest rate swap contracts to transition from one-month LIBOR to one-month SOFR as the floating interest rate. The notional amount of the amended contracts was $ 550 million. The remaining $ 184 million of interest rate swaps were not amended as of September 30, 2023. We did not de-designate the interest rate swaps with a floating interest rate to one-month LIBOR as we are permitted to maintain the designation as part of the transitional relief in accordance with ASC 848. Transaction costs incurred for the swap amendments were de minimis.
As of September 30, 2023, these interest rate swaps convert the SOFR-based variable rate on our Term Loan to average fixed rates of 1.29 % per annum with maturities between 2023 and 2028, for the balance on this borrowing up to the notional values of our interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate notional values of the interest rate swaps under our Term Loan was $ 700 million. Our interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded at their estimated fair value as an asset in Other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our cash flow hedges were $ 61 million and $ 63 million, respectively. We characterize payments we make in connection with these derivative instruments as interest expense and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income for presentation purposes.

(3) The revolving commitment period of the Timeshare Facility terminates in May 2024; however, the repayment maturity date extends 12 months beyond the commitment termination date to May 2025.
In August 2023, we completed a securitization of approximately $ 293 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and issued approximately $ 187 million of 5.72 % notes, $ 79 million of 6.11 % notes, and $ 27 million of 6.94 % notes due January 2038. The securitized debt is backed by pledged assets, consisting primarily of a pool of timeshare financing receivables secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, membership interests or timeshare interests (other than a fee simple interest in real estate) and temporarily by approximately $ 49 million on deposit in a prefunding account. The securitized debt is a non-recourse obligation and is payable solely from the pool of timeshare financing receivables pledged as collateral to the debt. The proceeds were used to pay down in part some of the existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. Additionally, in connection with the securitization, we incurred $ 5 million in debt issuance costs.
The Timeshare Facility is a non-recourse obligation payable solely from the pool of timeshare financing receivables pledged as collateral and related assets. As of September 30, 2023, our Timeshare Facility has a remaining borrowing capacity of $ 750 million.
We are required to deposit payments received from customers on the timeshare financing receivables securing the Timeshare Facility and Securitized Debt into depository accounts maintained by third parties. On a monthly basis, the depository accounts are utilized to make required principal, interest and other payments due under the respective loan agreements. The balances in the depository accounts were $ 90 million and $ 50 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were included in Restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our estimates of the fair values were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. The table above excludes interest rate swaps discussed below and cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and advance deposits, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.
The estimated fair values of our originated and acquired timeshare financing receivables were determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our model incorporates default rates, coupon rates, credit quality and loan terms respective to the portfolio based on current market assumptions for similar types of arrangements.
The estimated fair value of our Level 2 derivative financial instruments was determined utilizing projected future cash flows discounted based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and market volatility. Refer to Note 10: Debt and Non-recourse Debt above.

Table of Contents
The estimated fair value of our Level 1 debt and non-recourse debt were based on prices in active debt markets. The estimated fair value of our Level 3 debt and non-recourse debt were based on the following:
• Debt – based on indicative quotes obtained for similar issuances and projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates
• Non-recourse debt – based on projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.
NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 32 % and 26 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 28 % and 30 %, respectively. The effective tax rate increase quarter over quarter is due to the overall change in earnings and discrete items, primarily unrecognized tax benefits. The effective tax rate decrease year over year is due to the change in earnings mix of our worldwide income and discrete items, primarily unrecognized tax benefits. The difference between our effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. statutory federal tax rate of 21% is primarily due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes and discrete items, primarily unrecognized tax benefits.
NOTE 13: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Plan
On May 3, 2023, the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) was approved by our shareholders to replace the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2017 Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2017 Plans”). The 2023 Plan authorizes the issuance of restricted stock units (“Service RSUs” or “RSUs”), nonqualified stock options (“Options”), time and performance-vesting restricted stock units (“Performance RSUs” or “PSUs”), and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to certain employees and directors. Pursuant to the 2023 Plan, 5,240,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance. The 2017 Plans remain in place until all of the awards previously granted thereunder have been paid, forfeited or expired. Shares underlying awards that are canceled or forfeited under the 2017 Plans without the issuance of any shares are added to the 2023 Plan share pool. However, the shares which remained available for issuance under the 2017 Plans are no longer available for issuance, and all future awards will be granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan. As of September 30, 2023, there were 5,263,395 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2023 plan. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $ 12 million and $ 14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $ 37 million and $ 40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of September 30, 2023, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards was approximately $ 38 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.
Service RSUs
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 532,497 Service RSUs with a grant date fair value of $ 48.72 , which generally vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant.
Options
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 , we granted 301,215 Options with an exercise price of $ 49.14 , which generally vest over three years from the date of the grant.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of these Options was $ 24.78 , which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the assumptions included in the table below. Expected volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of our share price. Risk-free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate closest to the expected life as of the grant date. Expected term is estimated using the vesting period and contractual term of the Options.
Expected volatility 46.8 %
Dividend yield (1)

Risk-free rate 4.2 %
Expected term (in years) 6.0
(1) At the date of grant we had no plans to pay dividends during the expected term of these options.
As of September 30, 2023, we had 1,711,614 Options outstanding that were exercisable.

Performance RSUs
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 119,887 Performance RSUs with a grant date fair value of $ 49.14 . The Performance RSUs are settled at the end of a 3-year performance period, with 50 % of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 50 % of the Performance RSUs are subject to the achievement of certain contract sales targets. We determined that the performance conditions for our Performance RSUs are probable of achievement and, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized compensation expense based on the number of Performance RSUs we expect to vest.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective during 2017. In connection with the ESPP, we issued 2.5 million shares of common stock which may be purchased under the ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than 95 % of the fair market value per share of common stock on the purchase date, up to a maximum threshold established by the plan administrator for the offering period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized less than $ 1 million of compensation expense related to this plan, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors amended the ESPP plan to allow eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than 85 % of the fair market value per share of common stock on the first day of the Purchase Period or the last day of the Purchase Period, whichever is lower, up to a maximum threshold established by the plan administrator for the offering period. The amendment became effective in 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized less than $ 1 million and $ 1 million of compensation expense related to this plan, respectively.

NOTE 16: BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We operate our business through the following two reportable segments:
• Real estate sales and financing – We market and sell VOIs that we own. We also source VOIs through fee-for-service agreements with third-party developers. Related to the sales of the VOIs that we own, we provide consumer financing, which includes interest income generated from the origination of consumer loans to customers to finance their purchase of VOIs and revenue from servicing the loans. We also generate fee revenue from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers to purchasers of their VOIs.
• Resort operations and club management – We manage the Clubs and earn activation fees, annual dues and transaction fees from member exchanges for other vacation products. We also earn fees for managing the timeshare properties. We generate rental revenue from unit rentals of unsold inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges under our Club programs. We also earn revenue from food and beverage, retail and spa outlets at our timeshare properties.
The performance of our operating segments, which are also our reportable segments, is evaluated primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), taxes, depreciation and amortization

(“EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency transactions; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums and discounts resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.

NOTE 17: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
We have entered into certain arrangements with developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of September 30, 2023, we were committed to purchase approximately $ 56 million of inventory over a period of two years and $ 16 million of other commitments in the normal course of business. We are also committed to an agreement to

exchange parcels of land in Hawaii, subject to the successful completion of zoning, land use requirements and other applicable regulatory requirements. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions are subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we fulfilled $ 136 million of purchases required under our inventory commitments. As of September 30, 2023, our remaining obligations pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows:

(2) Primarily relates to commitments related to information technology and sponsorships.
Litigation Contingencies
We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which include claims for substantial sums. We evaluate these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We record a contingent litigation liability when it is determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
As of September 30, 2023, we accrued liabilities of approximately $ 121 million for all legal matters. Approximately $ 101 million of these accrued liabilities relate to a judgment entered against Diamond in March 2022 in connection with a case filed in 2015 that was not deemed probable and estimable as of the Acquisition Date. This matter is subject to insurance coverage, and as a result, we recorded an insurance claim receivable of $ 83 million within Accounts receivable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.
While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or materially adversely affect overall trends in our results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Surety Bonds
We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $ 548 million as of September 30, 2023, which primarily consist of escrow, construction and subsidy related bonds.
NOTE 18: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 5, 2023, we entered into a merger agreement with Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (“Bluegreen”) to acquire Bluegreen. Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the transaction, we will acquire all of the shares of Bluegreen for $ 75.00 per share in an all-cash transaction, representing total consideration of approximately $ 1.5 billion, inclusive of net debt. Consummation of this transaction is subject to customary conditions and receipt of regulatory approvals. The transaction is anticipated to close during the first half of 2024.
